CALL TO ORDER Mayor Levine called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m. Councilors Paper and Miller were also present. Councilors Duggan and Mazzitello were absent. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE Council, the audience, and staff recited the Pledge of Allegiance. AGENDA ADOPTION Mayor Levine presented the agenda for adoption. Councilor Miller moved adoption of the agenda. Councilor Paper seconded the motion. Ayes: 3 Nays: 0 PRESENTATIONS A) MENDOTA HEIGHTS COMMUNITY FOUNDATION City Administrator Cheryl Jacobson commented that members of the Mendota Heights Community Foundation Board are present to provide information on the newly formed foundation. Sandra Krebsbach stated that they have been working on the creation of this foundation for the past three years. There has been a need for more in Mendota Heights that brings people together with the intention of hosting one-time events or installations. She reviewed the members of the Board, the purpose, and details on how the foundation was formed. Mary Magnuson commented that the foundation has received a tax-exempt status from the IRS, along with a 501-3C classification which means that any donations to the foundation are tax deductible for the donor. She noted that donations could be for a specific project or purpose. Steve Norton commented that there is a sense of community in Mendota Heights and hoped that this foundation would help to build upon that. He acknowledged that the City's budget is run tightly which page 4 allows for lower taxes but it means there are programs that cannot be offered by the City. He provided his phone number for any residents that may have questions. Liz Petschel commented that they are dreaming big as to how the foundation funds could be used to bring different events or programs to the community. She stated that the foundation is willing to work with other groups as well. They are excited to begin fundraising this spring with perhaps a kickoff event. Councilor Miller commented that this is something the community has been lacking. He thanked those that worked to form the foundation. Councilor Paper acknowledged this has been a long time coming and believed this would be a tremendous benefit to the community. He asked if the foundation website could be linked to the City website. Sandra Krebsbach thanked City Administrator Jacobson and Council members and stated she looks forward to how they will celebrate the community in many ways going forward. Mayor Levine commented it is great to see this come forward as this has been a dream for some time. She thanked the members for their work. B) DAKOTA COUNTY—YOUTH EMERGENCY AND SUPPORTIVE HOUSING City Administrator Cheryl Jacobson stated that representatives from Dakota County are present to provide information on their interest in the property located at 2031 Victoria Road South for the purpose of providing emergency housing for youth ages 12 to 17. She stated the property is currently owned by Living Well who operates a 12-bed residential services facility for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. She noted the property owner is interested in selling the property. The City Attorney has reviewed the plans from Dakota County and determined the proposed use would be allowed. Julia Wallis Holmoe, Dakota County Social Worker, stated that Dakota County is pursuing the purchase of this facility with the intention to contract with a vendor to license the facility and provide "shelter care services"to youth experiencing a personal or family crisis. She provided examples of shelter care services and why this service is needed,noting that Harbor Shelter in Hastings previously provided this service but closed in 2019. Those that would use this shelter would be in need of a temporary safe place to stay while the family and professionals work towards reunification. She stated that Dakota County is in negotiations with Nexus Family Services that has operated in Minnesota for nearly 50 years. There will be a community conversation meeting on February 15th and representatives from Nexus will be at the meeting. She stated that there would be 24-hour supervision and provided additional details on how the facility would be operated. Jay Biedny, Capital Projects Manager for Dakota County, stated that the property is two acres in size and accessed from the church parking lot and a dedicated driveway off Victoria Road. The building was built for the current use. He stated that the County takes property ownership seriously and continually invests in its properties. He highlighted some of the maintenance activities that would be proposed for the property. He also reviewed the existing floorplan of the building and identified areas that would be renovated or updated. January 18, 2022 Mendota Heights City Council Page 2 of 12 page 5 Ms. Holmoe provided details on the actions that have occurred in the past six to nine months for this project as well as the timeline moving forward. Councilor Miller stated that it was mentioned that the limit would be a 90 day stay, but typically the stay is much shorter. He asked what would happen if someone would need a stay beyond 90 days. Ms.Holmoe replied that licensure is through the Minnesota Department of Human Services. An extended stay would need to have a specific plan in place and be approved through that agency and the County. Councilor Miller asked if the one staff member to four youth residents would be the minimum ratio. Ms. Holmoe confirmed that would be the minimum,noting that requirement would be part of the contract with the vendor. Councilor Miller asked the average age of a youth resident at this type of facility. Ms. Holmoe referenced data from Harbor Shelter, noting that 50 percent of the kids were aged 12 to 15, and 50 percent were 16 to 18. She provided additional demographic information on the youth residents that used Harbor Shelter noting an average stay of 16 days. Councilor Paper asked if that staffing ratio would be in effect 24 hours or only during business hours. Ms. Holmoe confirmed that those would be staffing ratios 24 hours per day. Councilor Paper asked who would be responsible for the oversight of the facility. Ms. Holmoe replied that the license is issued by the Minnesota Department of Human Services, and the common source of referrals would come from child protection,juvenile corrections, and crisis response. Councilor Paper asked the level of offense for children that would be placed in this facility. Sarah Reetz, Dakota County Community Corrections, replied that it is not about the offense but the risk level to public safety that is considered. She stated that all kids coming from community corrections would first be screened and assessed at a secured facility. The most common offense for this type of facility would be a result of a conflict at home between a child and parent and she provided details on that process. Councilor Paper asked if juvenile court would also assign youth to this facility. Ms. Reetz stated that the court could order the youth back to the shelter pending a crisis plan or psychological evaluation before returning home or going to another facility. Councilor Paper asked if corrections would have oversight of the facility as well. Ms. Reetz commented that community corrections does not have oversight of the actual facility, they are simply one of the referral sources. Councilor Paper asked who would provide for security, for both the residents in the facility and those that live around the facility. Ms. Reetz replied that would be provided by the contracted vendor who would supply the staff for the facility. Councilor Paper asked for additional details on security. He noted that the teenagers that would be at the facility would not be experiencing the best of times in their lives. Ms. Reetz commented the vendor will have a security system and 24-hour supervision. She noted that there will be regular checks to ensure safety of the residents. The vendor has experience working with children with complex mental health issues and they would be trained in de-escalation and working with youth. January 18, 2022 Mendota Heights City Council Page 3 of 12 page 6 Ms. Holmoe commented that the vendors that operate these facilities have experience and deal with these situations on a day-to-day basis. She encouraged Councilor Paper to attend the community conversation with Nexus. Councilor Paper stated that ultimately this would be a County facility. Ms. Holmoe commented that the County would have a contract with the vendor and if they felt that the vendor was not fulfilling that contract to provide quality services, that contract could be ended. Councilor Paper asked why referrals would be accepted from Washington County. Ms. Holmoe replied that Washington County has been a partner from the very beginning, noting that Dakota and Washington counties were the two biggest referrals to Harbor Shelter. She stated that Washington County would be contributing to the purchase of the property. She noted that the vendor would be able to accept referrals from other counties, but Washington and Dakota would have first chance. Councilor Paper asked how the occupancy would be capped at 12 residents. Ms. Holmoe stated that it would be part of the contract negotiations, as to whether one bed is kept open for emergency night placement. She stated that if the 12 beds were filled, they would look at other resources. Councilor Paper noted that the Hastings facility had a fair number of police calls each year. He stated that Mendota Heights would be responsible to respond to calls for service which could put demand on services. Ms. Holmoe stated they spoke about wanting to enhance the services and support to the youth residents and they believe that this vendor would provide better services and support which would result in a lower number of calls. She noted that most of the calls were in response to elopement or children walking away from the site. Ms. Reetz stated if the behavior of the residents escalates or if they walk out the door,they do not receive the opportunity to come back to the facility and would go to a secured center. She stated that this type of facility would be used for children that do not have criminal history and have a low risk to public safety. Councilor Paper commented that there is not a lot around the site within walking distance. He asked which school district would be responsible for the children. Ms. Holmoe commented that all the children placed at this location would qualify for special education services and noted that there are a variety of ways in which education services can be setup. She noted that they are in discussions with ISD 197 and Nexus as to how the services would be provided. Councilor Paper asked how this would work with the district when there is a constant flux of ten to 12 children that are constantly turning over. Ms. Holmoe stated that it is her understanding that the district would enroll the kids and provide them with educational services. She stated there are more online educational service options following COVID. Councilor Paper asked how visitors are addressed, both wanted and unwanted. Ms. Holmoe stated that would be a question for Nexus and noted there are typically scheduled visiting hours. Councilor Paper asked if there would be a bus or van for transportation. Ms. Holmoe was unsure of the plan for transportation. January 18, 2022 Mendota Heights City Council Page 4 of 12 page 7 Councilor Paper asked for details on services that would be offered for recreation. Ms. Holmoe noted that the property has a large yard for activities and the children would also have meetings and appointments to setup their plans for moving forward. Councilor Paper asked for details on property values and how it can be assumed that the change in use would not impact property values of adjacent properties. Ms. Holmoe stated that there is no hard data that says these facilities lower property values. She spoke with a realtor who stated that because the property is already licensed as a group facility, the change is use would not have an impact. She noted that the County Assessor also could not provide any data showing an impact to property values. Councilor Paper referenced a letter from Commissioner Halverson which referenced onsite services and asked for more details. Ms. Holmoe commented that those are enrichment activities and support groups that would be held, such as skill building, counseling, and family remediation. She noted the goal is to work towards family reunification and the provider would help to facilitate that. Councilor Paper asked who would be responsible for items such as roof replacement. Mr. Biedny commented that the lease would allow the County to have capital costs built into the per diem which would cover long-term maintenance. He stated that the County would always be the backstop as they would not allow the property to degrade. Councilor Paper asked who would be responsible for outdoor maintenance. Mr. Bidney confirmed that would be completed by the vendor. Councilor Paper stated that the notification letters that are mailed only go to a small area around the property and he wanted to ensure the information is shared with a larger base of the community. Mayor Levine asked the average number of beds that are typically needed. Ms. Holmoe replied that Washington County is a partner and therefore numbers fluctuate. She stated that they are talking with the provider with the intention of using ten beds. Mayor Levine asked what would happen to a child when there is not a bed available. Suzanne Tuttle, Deputy Director of Human Services, stated that the plan is always to try to return the child to the home, but they also want to ensure the home would be safe. She stated that the child could go to a foster care home or with another family member. She noted that another option would be placement at an out of area location but noted that is not the preferred choice. Mayor Levine asked how the current operations would be funded. Ms. Holmoe stated that Dakota County is still finalizing how to fund this purchase. She noted that Washington County plans to use ARP funds for its portion of the cost. Once the site is purchased, they would enter into a low-cost lease with the vendor. Each resident placed at the facility would come with a per diem. Mr. Biedny stated that part of every per diem includes capital costs. He commented that this will be cheaper for the County in the long run as the County will own the building. Mayor Levine commented that she has heard from many residents on this topic and asked how the community would continue to be updated. Ms. Holmoe replied that they have discussed creating a neighborhood advisory board which would meet regularly. This would be discussed further once the negotiations with Nexus are completed. January 18, 2022 Mendota Heights City Council Page 5 of 12 page 8 Mayor Levine asked how the community could be involved with the residents, if there are volunteer opportunities, and how the community can be a good neighbor. Ms. Holmoe commented that would be a discussion with the neighborhood advisory group. Nexus is a nonprofit and perhaps they offer volunteer opportunities. Mayor Levine invited the public to speak. Denise Quinlan, 1939 Twin Circle Drive, commented that this shelter would be in her backyard. She stated that Harbor Shelter had 60 to 70 police calls per year, which would be a disruption. She thanked the County for holding the neighborhood meetings and stated that safety is important. Father Emmanuel, Holy Family Maronite Catholic Church, stated the church believes this is a noble endeavor. He provided information on the church which moved to Mendota Heights 15 years ago to gain safety and stability. He stated they hope this use would not impact the safety of the congregation. Steve Helmstetter, 1248 Culligan Lane,asked the average cost per child for services. He noted that several hundred different children could be housed at the facility within a 90-day period. He asked the cost to the families of the children in the facility. He asked if this would be a burden on the school district and the police department. He asked if the City would receive reimbursement for the police services provided. Ms. Holmoe estimated that the average placement for a child at this type of facility would be from $250 to $450 per day depending on the level of support provided. Ms. Tuttle commented there is a recapture department at the County and families are assessed a portion of the cost for services. She explained how that cost is determined. Ms. Holmoe stated the goal is reunification with the family. The County assesses needs and community resources to get the child back home or to another type of placement. Data from Harbor Shelter showed that 60 percent of the children returned to their home, 20 percent went to a relative or foster care, and ten percent went to a more intensive service facility. She stated the County would hold the contract. If the vendor under delivers on services or if there were issues, the County would address those issues. Mayor Levine asked whom the City would call if there were an issue that is not resolved with Nexus. Ms. Holmoe confirmed that there is a contract manager at the County. She stated that a concern could also come to any of the County staff and they would ensure it was properly addressed. Mayor Levine noted the police department would be handling the calls for service. She asked for input from the Police Chief as to whether 60 to 70 calls for services would be significant. Police Chief Kelly McCarthy replied that is not a large number of calls. She estimated the department responds to 6,000 to 10,000 calls for service per year, and the current site is responsible for 40 to 50 calls for service each year. Councilor Miller asked how long Dakota County has been working in partnership with Washington County. Ms. Holmoe replied that Dakota and Washington counties were the two highest referrals to Harbor Shelter and therefore the highest in need when that facility closed. She stated that the County often cooperates with neighboring communities/counties on programs to be efficient. They have been working together on this since 2019 when Harbor Shelter closed. She confirmed that they reviewed properties in both counties. Living Well has been working with the County to relocate its residents and expressed an interest in selling for this purpose. January 18, 2022 Mendota Heights City Council Page 6 of 12 page 9 Councilor Miller asked if the need for this type of service were to grow,would the County look at a second building in another location,perhaps in Washington County. Ms. Holmoe stated that if the referrals were not growing for Dakota County but were growing for Washington County, Dakota County would not look to house that additional need in Dakota County. Mayor Levine thanked the Dakota County staff for attending. She commented that this item was informational only. Mr. Biedny commented that the church previously mentioned came to Mendota Heights for safety and security and the children that would use this facility would be coming for that same reason. CONSENT CALENDAR Mayor Levine presented the consent calendar and explained the procedure for discussion and approval. She noted that item g. Approving Teamsters Labor Agreement for 2022-2023 would be removed from the agenda and brought back to a future meeting.

She asked staff to provide a brief overview on the program and how residents could use the program. January 18, 2022 Mendota Heights City Council Page 7 of 12 page 10 Community Development Director Tim Benetti explained this program is for residents who are looking to start a business or who are trying to seek business assistance from an expert. He stated that any resident or business owner in Mendota Heights would be eligible to use the program free of charge. He commented that there has been limited activity for the program, but they want the program to be eligible for use. Councilor Paper moved to approve the JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT (YR 2022-2023) FOR OPEN TO BUSINESS PROGRAM THROUGH DAKOTA COUNTY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AGENCY. Councilor Miller seconded the motion. Ayes: 3 Nays: 0 E)RESOLUTION 2022-07 APPROVE JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT WITH DAKOTA COUNTY FOR A PEDESTRIAN AND BICYCLE PLAN Mayor Levine highlighted that the City received a$30,000 grant from the County to map out a pedestrian and bicycle plan for the city,which is a big win for the community. She asked staff to provide information. Public Works Director Ryan Ruzek commented that the County administers a grant for this purpose and the City was awarded $30,000 to develop a city-wide pedestrian and bicycle master plan. He stated they will look to see how the trails can provide benefit and connectivity, identify trail gaps and areas where trail improvements could improve mobility. The City has submitted an RFP to several consultants with a deadline of February 4th. The City is required to provide a $5,000 match for the grant. Councilor Miller moved to adopt RESOLUTION 2022-07 APPROVE JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT WITH DAKOTA COUNTY FOR A PEDESTRIAN AND BICYCLE PLAN. Councilor Paper seconded the motion.

I) APPROVE AMENDMENT TO THE PICNIC SHELTER RESERVATION POLICY Mayor Levine stated that the city has great picnic shelters, and she would like the opportunity to publicize that. She asked how residents can reserve a picnic shelter. Recreation Program Coordinator Meredith Lawrence reported that reservations will begin to be accepted March Ist. She stated there are six parks with picnic shelters. Those interested can complete a form on the website or receive a paper form at City Hall. The fee for shelters is $50 for residents per shelter per day, or $75 for nonresidents. January 18, 2022 Mendota Heights City Council Page 8 of 12 page 11 Mayor Levine commented there is a new shelter being built at the Dakota County Big Rivers Regional Trailhead,near Sibley Memorial Highway and Mendota Heights Road. This is a Dakota County Park with bathrooms and electricity. She stated the City will work to determine how residents could reserve that shelter. Ms. Lawrence commented that because that is not a City facility,reservations will be handled by the County for that amenity. Councilor Paper asked if the website specifies the number of picnic tables at each shelter. Ms. Lawrence confirmed that four tables will be provided per shelter and additional tables could be requested for a fee. Councilor Paper noted that the Park Commission recommended reducing the recommendation of turnaround time from seven days to five business days. Ms. Lawrence confirmed that the recommendation from the Commission was for a response time of five total days, not business days. She stated that staff does a great job issuing the permit and often responds in less than five days. The request to extend the deadline requirement is to allow additional time to review and process the reservation request. Councilor Paper moved to approve AMENDMENT TO PICNIC SHELTER RESERVATION POLICY. Councilor Miller seconded the motion. Ayes: 3 Nays: 0 PUBLIC COMMENTS No one from the public wished to be heard. PUBLIC HEARING No items scheduled. NEW AND UNFINISHED BUSINESS A) RESOLUTION 2022-08 APPROVING A MISSISSIPPI RIVER CORRIDOR CRITICAL AREA (MRCCA)PERMIT FOR 796 SIBLEY MEMORIAL HIGHWAY (MICHAEL AND THERESA SWIGGUM) Community Development Director Tim Benetti explained that the Council was being asked to adopt a resolution approving a Mississippi River Corridor Critical Area (MRCCA) Permit to construct a new single-family dwelling on land situated in the MRCCA Overlay District. Theresa Swiggum stated that they love the property and want to build their forever home here. She stated that they are committed to planting with native species. Michael Swiggum commented on some issues on the property that would be addressed to mitigate damage done to adjacent properties. They look forward to working with their neighbors to remedy those situations. January 18, 2022 Mendota Heights City Council Page 9 of 12 page 12 Mayor Levine asked if the adjacent property to the south is vacant. Mr. Benetti stated the lot to the south is owned by the neighbor to the south of it. Mayor Levine commented that she listened to the Planning Commission meeting and noted that it appears that perhaps there are issues in the process the City needs to respond to. Councilor Paper noted that the landscaping plan has been submitted and it appears this new home would fit in well. Mayor Levine recognized that there is a fluidness in developing a landscaping plan at this early stage in the process. She encouraged the residents to reach out to the available resources that can provide input on landscaping and natural resources. Councilor Paper moved to approve RESOLUTION 2022-08 APPROVING A MISSISSIPPI RIVER CORRIDOR CRITICAL AREA (MRCCA) PERMIT FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 796 SIBLEY MEMORIAL HIGHWAY. Councilor Miller seconded the motion. Ayes: 3 Nays: 0 B) PARK AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT ORGANIZATION Assistant City Administrator Kelly Dumais presented information on the job description and pay classification for the new position of Park and Recreation Manager; the revised job description for the Recreation Program Coordinator; and job description for the seasonal positions of Pickleball Instructor and Pickleball Assistant. Councilor Miller commented that he is appreciative of the efforts on this topic. Councilor Paper commented that this would hire a new Park and Recreation Manager which results in the Recreation Program Coordinator no longer being responsible for the Par 3. He asked if a reduction to the pay for that position would occur. Ms. Dumais replied that a salary reduction is not part of this action, noting that the Recreation Program Coordinator would continue in its same pay grade classification with additional programming duties. Councilor Paper referenced the pickleball positions and asked for details. Ms. Dumais stated there would be a lead instructor along with an assistant, similar to a tennis instructor and tennis assistant. She noted these are seasonal positions that would handle that program. Mayor Levine asked what that programming would entail. Recreation Program Coordinator Meredith Lawrence stated that the pickleball program would be similar to tennis lessons. She noted that the lead would handle lesson plan development while the assistant would help run the program. She stated that this would be a small pilot program and if it does well, they could expand upon the program. Councilor Paper asked if the City would be able to fill those seasonal positions. Ms.Lawrence commented that will not be known until they post the positions. She stated that there are a lot of residents in the January 18, 2022 Mendota Heights City Council Page 10 of 12 page 13 community that may want to be a part of this program. She stated that they have planned to hold the program at Marie Park and it could be expanded to the other court location if successful. Councilor Paper asked why Marie Park was chosen rather than Friendly Hills. Ms. Lawrence replied that Marie Park was chosen because that is where tennis lessons have been successful. She noted that the location could be changed if desired. Councilor Paper commented that Marie Park is a busy park and that was his consideration. Councilor Paper commented that this is a lot of money for the job and asked how they got to this point. City Administrator Cheryl Jacobson stated that this was a part of the budget discussion. She stated that she identified a gap to sync parks and public works together. She stated that there is also a need for park project management as that floats between staff and does not have an actual home. She stated that creating this position would fill that gap and allow the Recreation Program Coordinator to better focus on programming. Councilor Paper asked how the pay was determined. Administrator Jacobson explained how the City's pay evaluation method is used for determining position pay. Mayor Levine moved to approve JOB DESCRIPTION, PAY CLASSIFICATION AND AUTHORIZE RECRUITMENT FOR THE NEW POSITION OF PARK AND RECREATION MANAGER; APPROVE THE REVISED JOB DESCRIPTION FOR THE RECREATION PROGRAM COORDINATOR;AND JOB DESCRIPTIONS FOR THE SEASONAL POSITIONS OF PICKLEBALL INSTRUCTOR AND PICKLEBALL ASSISTANT. Councilor Paper seconded the motion. Ayes: 3 Nays: 0 C) QUARTER 4 UPDATE FOR 2021-22 CITY COUNCIL STRATEGIC PRIORITIES City Administrator Cheryl Jacobson provided the strategic priorities progress report for the fourth quarter. Councilor Paper referenced an item that has been parked and asked for details on when that would return. City Administrator Cheryl Jacobson stated that a tabletop exercise was held this past September. Police Chief Kelly McCarthy confirmed that the tabletop exercise was completed with City staff and stated there has been discussion on further training of the City Council. She stated that training could be tailored to their needs, but they are not getting together in groups any time soon. Councilor Paper asked for an update on the Citizens on Patrol Program. Chief McCarthy clarified that it was the CERT program and noted that everyone in the program has graduated and is available if needed. Mayor Levine stated that funding has been allocated to review the security of the city hall building. She commented that there is a lot of detail in the plan that will be further discussed in worksession settings. January 18, 2022 Mendota Heights City Council Page 11 of 12 page 14 COMMUNITY ANNOUNCEMENTS City Administrator Jacobson thanked the Mendota Heights Community Foundation for the introduction tonight. She stated that if residents are interested in engaging through participation or donation, they can reach out to City Hall. She announced upcoming events. COUNCIL COMMENTS Councilor Paper thanked the Mendota Heights Community Foundation for its presentation tonight and believed that organization will bring a lot of value to the community. He thanked Steve Goldade for his time on the Park and Recreation Commission. He also recognized that the previous day was Martin Luther King Jr. Day which is a reminder to do better. Councilor Miller concurred with those statements. Mayor Levine welcomed and thanked the individuals responsible for the Mendota Heights Community Foundation. She stated that on Martin Luther King Jr. Day they celebrate a man that contributed so much to make the country a better place. She stated that earlier today there was the first ever Senate bonding tour stop in Mendota Heights as the City is looking for funding for Pilot Knob to enhance the site. She commented that the City has never made a request of this nature of the State, and it is an exciting opportunity. She welcomed residents to send letters of support to their legislators.

Mr. Juffer shared a flow chart and explained the five unique departments under CEO Brian Ryks, diving deeper into three departments: The Strategic Marketing Department's focus is on campaigns with significant importance to their organization (ie COVID-19 testing site). They work on branding and messaging, including major social media platforms. The Strategic Communications department focuses on media relations and executive communications. The Stakeholder Engagement department focuses on engaging tenants and neighboring communities. They hold in-person and virtual events (ie "Meet the Fleet"videos). In the last 12 months they've held 106 public meetings and events, and average around 100 conversations per month with residents. Commissioner Dunn commented that if the ARC sees something that looks amiss, the MAC has been very prompt and responsive in correcting or explaining any issues. Chair Norling added her appreciation of the ARC and MAC relationship. Commissioner Hamiel complemented the outreach change and asked what trends the MAC has seen in relation to the communities' view of MSP. Mr. Juffer stated that complaints were down in 2020 and 2021 and there haven't been a lot of changes in community engagement. He added that the MAC is trying to find innovative ways to break barriers between citizens and the MAC/MSP. Chair Norling thanked Mr. Juffer for his presentation. b.

Commissioner Comments page 19 Chair Norling thanked the commissioners for their time and effort in the strategic planning sessions. Commissioner Sloan noted that turbo prop information should be further addressed to see if there is anything that can be done; such as getting together with large delivery airlines. Commissioner Dunn noted there haven't been turbo prop complaints in years. Commissioner Hamiel added there were no noise issues with turbo props. Commissioner Byrnes experienced a good change in noise levels related to turbo props. Chair Norling asked the commission if they should add this topic to their strategic plan.

Approval of October 26, 2021 Minutes Chair Field noted that Commissioner Lorberbaum submitted some minor changes that have been distributed to the Commission for review. Commissioner Lorberbaum confirmed that her changes are minor. COMMISSIONER LORBERBAUM MOVED, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER KATZ TO APPROVE THE MINUTES OF OCTOBER 26, 2021 WITH THE MINOR CHANGES SUBMITTED. AYES: 7 NAYS: 0 Approval ofNovember 10, 2021 Minutes Commissioner Lorberbaum noted a minor change that she had submitted prior to the meeting. COMMISSIONER LORBERBAUM MOVED, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER CORBETT TO APPROVE THE MINUTES OF NOVEMBER 10, 2021 WITH THE MINOR CORRECTION. AYES: 7 NAYS: 0 page 21 Hearin-s A) PLANNING CASE 2021-22 MICHAEL AND THERESA SWIGGUM, 796 SIBLEY MEMORIAL HIGHWAY— CRITICAL AREA PERMIT Community Development Director Tim Benetti explained that the Swiggums are seeking approval of a new Mississippi River Corridor Critical Area (MRCCA) Permit to construct a new single- family dwelling on property located at 796 Sibley Memorial Highway. The property is situated in the Mississippi River Corridor Critical Area Overlay District. Hearing notices were published and mailed to all properties within 350-ft. of the site;no comments or objections to this request were received. Community Development Director Tim Benetti provided a planning staff report and a presentation on this planning item to the Commission (which is available for viewing through the City's website). Staff recommended approval of this application based on the findings and with conditions. Commissioner Johnson asked for details on the item that would be revisited during the building permit. Community Development Director Tim Benetti identified the three or four significant trees that are marked for removal. He stated that the applicant would like to propose tree replacement ideas as part of the building permit process. He stated that staff would ensure that they are native trees that would be cohesive with the site and explained that staff would work with the applicant on that item, and it would not return to the Commission. Commissioner Lorberbaum asked if the documents referenced in condition four (native plantings and pollinator friendly plantings list) are available on the website, or how they would be made available to the applicant. Community Development Director Tim Benetti replied that he believes that those documents have been posted on the City website. Commissioner Lorberbaum referenced the utility plan and asked if the side with a 20-foot length is the dining room or the garage. She stated that it appears the driveway does not connect with the garage. Community Development Director Tim Benetti commented that the house print should be flip- flopped as the driveway is not shown correctly on the site plan. It was confirmed that the driveway does connect to the garage. Chair Field opened the public hearing. page 22 Michael Swiggum, applicant, stated that the drawing was provided by the surveyor who misunderstood how the house would sit. He stated that the footprint is accurate and explained where the driveway would connect to the garage. Commissioner Lorberbaum asked if the sketch would be updated for the Council meeting. Mr. Swiggum confirmed that he could have that done. Commissioner Johnson asked if the Swiggums have a landscape plan showing the plants for the rain garden and other landscaped areas. Mr. Swiggum stated that they do not have an official plan at this time. Commissioner Johnson asked if there is a general plan with possible plant species or trees. Mr. Swiggum stated that he does not have anything written down as they have not entered that phase of planning. He stated that they plan to remove or change as little as possible. He stated that they do not have plans for turf grass and would like things to remain as natural as possible, removing invasive species and diseased ash trees. Commissioner Johnson explained that the MRCCA ordinance requires proposed landscaped materials that will be added to be shown on the plan. She stated that while she appreciates the removal aspect, she is concerned that the items planned to be added are not listed. Mr. Swiggum commented that at this time they do not plan to add anything. Theresa Swiggum commented that they would replace the trees that are removed. Mr. Swiggum asked if that is something that would be desired for the Council meeting as well. Commissioner Johnson commented that the landscape plan is an important part of the MRCCA permit. She noted that is one of the items on the checklist for approval. Mr. Swiggum commented that they would only use native species. Mrs. Swiggum commented that they could speak with the builder to determine the logistics of developing a landscaping plan at this time. She stated that they plan to do much of the landscaping themselves. She stated that they could develop a list of the potential plantings. Commissioner Toth referenced the existing piece of asphalt on the property and asked if that would be removed or become part of the driveway. Mr. Swiggum commented that they would use the existing asphalt as part of the driveway to the extent possible. He stated that there is another patch of asphalt closer to the living room area that would be removed. page 23 Commissioner Toth asked that the removed asphalt be removed and disposed of properly and not used as fill or buried on the property. Seeing no one else coming forward wishing to speak, Chair Field asked for a motion to close the public hearing. COMMISSIONER KATZ MOVED, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER TOTH, TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. AYES: 7 NAYS: 0 Commissioner Johnson stated that she would ask that the applicant come back to the next meeting with a list of potential plantings and trees. She noted that the landscaping plan is an important part of an MRCCA permit. She stated that she would require a detailed landscaping plan but would like to see what will be in the beds and rain garden areas. COMMISSIONER JOHNSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER LORBERBAUM, TO TABLE AND DIRECT THE APPLICANT TO COME BACK TO THE NEXT MEETING WITH A LIST OF PLANT MATERIALS AND GENERAL OUTLINE OF WHERE THE MATERIALS MAY BE INSTALLED. FURTHER DISCUSSION: COMMISSIONER KATZ COMMENTED THAT WHILE HE APPRECIATES THAT THE HOMEOWNERS WILL DO A LOT OF THE WORK AND PLANNING THEMSELVES, THERE ARE RESOURCES AVAILABLE ON THE WEBSITE THAT RECOMMEND PLANT SPECIES. HE STATED THAT MASTER GARDENERS WILL ALSO WORK WITH THE APPLICANT FOR FREE TO PROVIDE INPUT. COMMISSIONER PETSCHEL ASKED IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE STAGING OF PLANS, AS THIS IS THE SECOND MRCCA APPLICATION THAT DOES NOT HAVE A LANDSCAPING PLAN FINALIZED. HE COMMENTED THAT IS NOT TRADITIONALLY FORMALIZED UNTIL THE BUILDING PERMIT PROCESS AND ASKED IF THERE IS A PROBLEM IN ASKING THESE TYPES OF QUESTIONS TOO EARLY IN THE PROCESS. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR TIM BENETTI STATED THAT THIS SITE IS NOT DEVOID OF VEGETATION, NOTING THAT THIS SITE HAS A LOT OF VEGETATION. HE STATED THAT THE TREES PROPOSED FOR REMOVAL ARE NOT IN GREAT CONDITION. HE STATED THAT HE TRUSTS THE APPLICANTS THAT THEY WILL PLANT TREES IN REPLACEMENT AND STAFF CAN ASSURE THAT IS DONE. HE REFERENCED CONDITION FOUR, NOTING THAT THOSE PLANTINGS WILL BE DONE AND CONFIRMED AS PART OF THE BUILDING PERMIT PROCESS. HE DID NOT BELIEVE THAT THIS WOULD NEED TO COME BACK TO THE COMMISSION FOR THAT REVIEW, AS CITY STAFF IS CAPABLE OF WORKING WITH THE APPLICANT TO ENSURE THE PLANTINGS MEET THE NATIVE PLANTINGS AND POLLINATOR FRIENDLY LIST. page 24 COMMISSIONER PETSCHEL ASKED IN GENERAL, IF THE COMMISSION IS ASKING FOR THESE DETAILS TOO EARLY IN THE PROCESS. HE STATED THAT THIS IS BECOMING A COMMON THEME. HE NOTED THAT MANY PEOPLE BEGIN TO BUILD A HOUSE AND THEM FORMALIZE A LANDSCAPING PLAN ONCE THEY SEE HOW THE HOME FITS ON THE LOTS,THEREFORE PERHAPS THIS IS UNFAIRLY CONSTRAINING PEOPLE IN REQUIRING A LANDSCAPING PLAN TO BE DONE BEFORE THE HOME HAS BEEN FULLY PLANNED. HE NOTED THAT TYPICALLY AT THIS STAGE IN DEVELOPMENT, AN APPLICANT WOULD NOT BE REQUIRED TO HAVE A LANDSCAPING PLAN IF NOT INSIDE THE MRCCA. COMMISSIONER CORBETT AGREED THAT THERE APPEARS TO BE A GAP. HE RECOGNIZED THAT THE REQUIREMENT WAS BORN OUT OF THE MRCCA ORDINANCE PROCESS AND ASKED THE ORIGINAL INTENT AND WHETHER THAT WAS MISPLACED IN THE PROCESS. COMMISSIONER LORBERBAUM WAS CONCERNED THAT THIS WOULD BE SETTING A PRECEDENT. SHE ASKED IF IN THIS CASE THEY WOULD BE TRUSTING THE APPLICANT BUT NOT TRUSTING OTHERS. COMMISSIONER JOHNSON STATED THAT SHE IS SIMPLY ATTEMPTING TO FOLLOW WHAT IS REQUIRED IN THE ORDINANCE. SHE NOTED THAT SHE WOULD NOT BE REQUESTING A DETAILED PLAN BUT JUST GENERAL IDEAS WHERE THE BEDS AND RAIN GARDEN WOULD BE PLACED AND A LIST OF THE PLANTS THAT ARE BEING CONSIDERED. SHE NOTED THAT THE SUBJECT PARCEL IS LOCATED IN ONE OF THE MOST PRISTINE AREAS WITHIN THE MRCCA. COMMISSIONER PETSCHEL STATED THAT HE HAS NO PROBLEM WITH THE PENDING ACTION BUT NOTED THAT THIS IS THE SECOND APPLICANT THAT IS BEING CAUGHT BY SURPRISE BY THIS REQUEST. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR TIM BENETTI STATED THAT IN A PREVIOUS APPLICATION THERE WERE A FEW TREES THAT WERE PROPOSED FOR REMOVAL IN ORDER TO BUILD A HOME, WHICH IS WITHIN THE RIGHTS OF THE PROPERTY OWNER. HE STATED THAT THE MRCCA DOES NOT HAVE A STANDARD FOR TREE REPLACEMENT. HE STATED THAT IT COULD BE SAID THAT THE FOUR TREES BEING REMOVED IS THE LANDSCAPING PLAN, WITH ADDITIONAL ASSURANCE THAT TREES WOULD BE REMOVED. HE STATED THAT THE CITY HAS CAPABLE STAFF THAT CAN ASSURE THAT AND DID NOT BELIEVE THIS APPLICATION SHOULD BE HELD UP FOR ANOTHER MONTH. COMMISSIONER TOTH STATED THAT IF THE RESIDENT CAME FORWARD WITH A FULL LANDSCAPING PLAN THAT LOOKS GREAT, THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT WOULD BE COMPLETELY CHANGED IN THE SUMMER WHEN THAT TIME ACTUALLY COMES. HE NOTED THAT THE COMMISSION WOULD NOT EVEN BE AWARE OF THAT. HE STATED THAT THE APPLICANT HAS COMMITTED TO WORKING WITH THE CITY ON REPLANTING IN THE FUTURE. page 25 COMMISSIONER JOHNSON STATED THAT HER CONCERN IS WITH CONSISTENCY AND FAIRNESS. SHE STATED THAT SHE IS TRYING TO FOLLOW THE PROCESS IN ORDER TO PROVIDE CONSISTENCY AND FAIRNESS. COMMISSIONER CORBETT ASKED THE LANGUAGE WITHIN THE ORDINANCE. COMMISSIONER JOHNSON REVIEWED THE LANGUAGE WITHIN THE CHECKLIST RELATED TO LANDSCAPING. SHE COMMENTED THAT THIS IS THE MOST PRISTINE AREA IN MENDOTA HEIGHTS AND THAT IS WHY SHE WOULD LIKE A GENERAL SKETCH WITH SOME POTENTIAL TREE AND PLANT SPECIES. COMMISSIONER CORBETT AGREED THAT CONSISTENCY IS IMPORTANT. HE STATED THAT STAFF HAS MENTIONED THAT THERE IS AN OPTION TO JUST APPROVE THE PLAN WITH THE REMOVALS AND NO ADDITIONS. COMMISSIONER JOHNSON STATED THAT SHE WOULD HESITATE TO GO DOWN THAT ROAD AS IT CAN BECOME A SLIPPERY SLOPE. SHE STATED THAT SHE WOULD NOT WANT APPLICANTS TO BE DISINGENUOUS. COMMISSIONER CORBETT STATED THAT ON THE OTHER HAND,PEOPLE COULD BE DISINGENUOUS IN PROVIDING A LIST OF MATERIALS PULLED FROM THE WEBSITE. HE CIRCLED BACK TO THE CONCEPT FROM COMMISSIONER PETSCHEL THAT PERHAPS TOO MUCH DETAIL IS BEING REQUIRED TOO EARLY IN THE PROCESS. HE STATED THAT PERHAPS IF THERE ARE GOING TO BE ADDED PLANTS, THE APPLICANT WOULD COMMIT TO USING SPECIES FROM THE PROVIDED DOCUMENTS. CHAIR FIELD SUGGESTED REOPENING THE PUBLIC HEARING TO RECEIVE ADDITIONAL INPUT FROM THE APPLICANT. COMMISSIONER LORBERBAUM STATED THAT IF THE APPLICANT COMES BACK TO THE COMMISSION, ACCURATE HOME PLANS COULD ALSO BE PROVIDED. COMMISSIONER KATZ ASKED IF COMMISSIONER JOHNSON WOULD BE COMFORTABLE APPROVING THE REQUEST WITH THE CONDITION THAT THE APPLICANT PROVIDE THE ADDITIONAL DETAIL SHE REQUESTED BEFORE THE CITY COUNCIL REVIEW. COMMISSIONER JOHNSON ASKED IF THAT WOULD UNDERMINE THE JOB OF THE COMMISSION BECAUSE OF THE REQUIREMENTS IN THE ORDINANCE. COMMISSIONER CORBETT MOVED, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER LORBERBAUM, TO REOPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. AYES: 7 page 26 NAYS: 0 MR. SWIGGUM COMMENTED THAT THEY PURCHASE THIS LOT FOR A REASON, BECAUSE THEY LIKE THE NATURAL BEAUTY OF THE SITE. HE ASKED IF THE COMMISSION WOULD BE SATISFIED WITH A PLAN NOT TO ADD ANYTHING AT THIS TIME. HE COMMENTED THAT THEY HAVE NOT THOUGHT HARD ABOUT THE LANDSCAPING AS THE SITE IS FULL OF OVER STORY TREES. MRS. SWIGGUM STATED THAT THEY HAVE WALKED THE LOT MANY TIMES AND CONTEMPLATED WHETHER TO ADD BUSHES OR LEAVE THE SITE AS IS. SHE STATED THAT THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH CITY STAFF SINCE BEFORE THEY PURCHASED THE LAND AND WOULD CONTINUE TO WORK WITH CITY STAFF ON ANY PLANTINGS CONSIDERED AS WELL AS PLANTINGS FOR THE RAIN GARDEN. MR. SWIGGUM NOTED THAT THE RAIN GARDEN IS A NATURALLY LOWER SPOT THAT DOES NOT DRAIN IN ANY DIRECTION, THEREFORE THEY WOULD KEEP THAT NATURAL AND THEY DO NOT PLAN ON REMOVING VEGETATION. HE STATED THAT THEY DO NOT NECESSARILY HAVE A PLAN TO ADD TREES AT THIS TIME AND WOULD LIKE TO KEEP THE SITE NATURAL. MRS. SWIGGUM COMMENTED THAT HER HUSBAND HAS KNOWLEDGE OF TREE HEALTH AND THEREFORE THEY ARE ONLY REMOVING TREES THAT CONFLICT WITH THE HOME LOCATION OR THAT ARE DISEASED. SHE COMMENTED THAT IT WOULD NOT BE FEASIBLE TO PROVIDE AN ACCURATE LIST BECAUSE OF LOGISTICS AND BUDGETING. SHE STATED THAT WHILE THEY HAVE A SENSE OF WHAT THEY MAY WANT, THEY WOULD NOT KNOW FOR CERTAIN EVEN IN 60 DAYS. SHE STATED THAT IF THEY DO ADD ANYTHING TO THE SITE, THEY WOULD USE NATIVE SPECIES. MR. SWIGGUM COMMENTED THAT THEY WOULD PREFER TO TAKE THE ROUTE OF NO ACTION IN ADDING PLANTS OR TREES AT THIS TIME AND THAT WOULD SATISFY THE REQUIREMENT. CHAIR FIELD STATED THAT THERE WAS A REPRESENTATION THAT CERTAIN TREES WOULD BE REMOVED AND THAT IS WAS THE PLAN OF THE APPLICANT TO REPLACE THOSE TREES, THEREFORE A STATEMENT OF DOING NOTHING WOULD SEEM TO BE INACCURATE. MR. SWIGGUM STATED THAT HE IS UNSURE IF THERE ARE PLACES FOR REPLACEMENT OF TREES BECAUSE THE ENTIRE SITE IS WOODED EXCEPT FOR THE HOME LOCATION. HE STATED THAT THEY WOULD PREFER TO TAKE THE ROUTE OF NOT ADDING ANYTHING IN TERMS OF PLANTINGS AND TREES AS THEIR PLAN. COMMISSIONER PETSCHEL ASKED IF SHEET FOUR OF 11 WOULD THEN CONSTITUTE THE LANDSCAPING PLAN, AS THAT SHOWS THE TREE INVENTORY AND TREES PLANNED FOR REMOVAL. page 27 MR. SWIGGUM AGREED. SEEING NO ONE ELSE COMING FORWARD WISHING TO SPEAK, CHAIR FIELD ASKED FOR A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. COMMISSIONER PETSCHEL MOVED, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER TOTH, TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. AYES: 7 NAYS: 0 COMMISSIONER PETSCHEL ASKED IF THE COMMISSION WOULD BE SATISFIED IF THE APPLICANT CAME BACK WITH THE SAME SHEET, THEY STATED WOULD BE THEIR LANDSCAPING PLAN. COMMISSIONER CORBETT STATED THAT IS WHAT HE WOULD EXPECT TO SEE AS IT WOULD SHOW REMOVAL, INVENTORY, AND NOTHING TO BE ADDED. COMMISSIONER JOHNSON AGREED THAT WOULD MAKE SENSE BUT BELIEVED THAT THIS COULD BE A SLIPPERY SLOPE BY NOT COMPLETELY FOLLOWING THE PROCESS AND ORDINANCE. SHE STATED THAT IF THAT IS THE TRUE AND GENUINE PLAN TO REMOVE THE TREES AND NOT ADD ANYTHING, THAT WOULD SEEM TO SATISFY THE REQUIREMENT. COMMISSIONER LORBERBAUM ASKED IF COMMISSIONER JOHNSON WOULD BE SATISFIED WITH THE PLAN IF THAT WERE BROUGHT BACK NEXT MONTH. COMMISSIONER JOHNSON STATED THAT IF THAT WAS THE GENUINE INTENTION, SHE WOULD BE SATISFIED BUT BELIEVES THAT IS NOT THE TRUE INTENTION. COMMISSIONER CORBETT ASKED IF THIS IS WHAT THE COMMISSION EXPECTS TO SEE IN THE CHECKLIST, OR WHAT THE GAP WOULD BE. HE STATED THAT THIS IS A PLAN SHOWING THE LANDSCAPING ON THE SITE AND TREE REMOVAL. COMMISSIONER JOHNSON STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ADDITIONAL STATEMENT THAT ADDITIONAL PLANTING WOULD OCCUR. COMMISSIONER CORBETT NOTED THAT SHEET FOUR STATES THAT TREES REMOVED WILL BE REPLACED BUT THE SPECIES ARE NOT IDENTIFIED. COMMISSIONER PETSCHEL COMMENTED THAT PLANS THAT COME BEFORE THE COMMISSION ARE NOT UNAMENDABLE DURING THE PROCESS. HE NOTED CHANGES THAT ARE OFTEN MADE DURING THE DISCUSSION AND REVIEW. HE STATED THAT THE STATEMENT COULD BE REDLINED AND REMOVED. page 28 CHAIR FIELD STATED THAT THE APPLICANT HAS TESTIFIED THAT THEY WOULD AMEND THEIR PLANS TO REMOVE THAT STATEMENT AND NOT ADD ANY TREES. CHAIR FIELD CALLED THE MOTION TO QUESTION. AYES: 2 (Lorberbaum and Johnson) NAYS: 5 ABSTAIN: 1 (Corbett) COMMISSIONER PETSCHEL MOVED, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER KATZ, TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE MRCCA CRITICAL AREA PERMIT REQUEST FOR 796 SIBLEY MEMORIAL HIGHWAY WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS: I. A BUILDING PERMIT, INCLUDING ALL NEW GRADING AND DRAINAGE WORK, MUST BE APPROVED BY THE CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS PRIOR TO THE COMMENCEMENT OF ANY NEW CONSTRUCTION WORK. 2. FULL EROSION AND SEDIMENTATION MEASURES WILL BE PUT IN PLACE PRIOR TO AND DURING GRADING AND CONSTRUCTION WORK ACTIVITIES. 3. ALL GRADING AND CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY WILL BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL REGULATIONS AND CODES,AS WELL AS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE CITY'S LAND DISTURBANCE GUIDANCE DOCUMENT. 4. ANY NEW TREE OR LANDSCAPING MATERIALS PROVIDED ON THIS SITE MUST MEET THE CITY'S LIST OF NATIVE PLANTINGS AND POLLINATOR FRIENDLY TREES AND VEGETATION. 5. ALL WORK ON SITE WILL ONLY BE PERFORMED BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 7:00 A.M. AND 8:00 P.M. MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY; 9:00 A.M. TO 5:00 P.M. WEEKENDS. 6. ALL DISTURBED AREAS IN AND AROUND THE PROJECT SITE SHALL BE RESTORED AND HAVE AN ESTABLISHED AND PERMANENT GROUND COVER IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE DWELLING PROJECT IS COMPLETED. 7. THE APPLICANT WILL PROVIDE THEIR BEST EFFORT TO UPDATE THE PLANS PRIOR TO THE COUNCIL MEETING AS DISCUSSED. FURTHER DISCUSSION: COMMISSIONER PETSCHEL STATED THAT HE SUPPORTS THIS AS THE APPLICANT HAS STATED THAT THEY ARE GOING TO FOLLOW THE REMOVAL PLAN, THEREFORE HE HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO BELIEVE THE APPLICANTS. COMMISSIONER LORBERBAUM STATED THAT SHE ALSO BELIEVES THE APPLICANT BUT NOTED THAT DOES NOT MEET THE NORMAL RULES AND THEREFORE SHE WILL HAVE A HARD TIME SUPPORTING THE APPLICATION. SHE BELIEVES THAT ONE ADDITIONAL MONTH WOULD PROVIDE THE TIME NECESSARY TO PROVIDE THE NECESSARY INFORMATION. page 29 COMMISSIONER PETSCHEL COMMENTED THAT THE APPLICANT CAN PROVIDE THE SAME DOCUMENTATION AT THE NEXT MEETING AND IT WOULD BE APPROVED. COMMISSIONER LORBERBAUM AGREED AND ACKNOWLEDGED THAT A HOMEOWNER COULD ALSO CHOOSE TO CHANGE LANDSCAPING IN SIX MONTHS, ONE YEAR, OR THREE YEARS AND THAT WOULD BE ALLOWED. COMMISSIONER CORBETT COMMENTED THAT HE BELIEVES THE PROCESS IS FLAWED AND LIKELY UNREASONABLE IN WHAT IS BEING REQUESTED AT THIS POINT IN THE REVIEW PROCESS. HE STATED THAT IF THIS PROCESS IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO BE FOLLOWED IN THE FUTURE, IT SHOULD BE COMMUNICATED TO APPLICANTS THAT AN UNREASONABLE REQUIREMENT WOULD BE PLACED TO PROVIDE A DETAILED LANDSCAPING PLAN AT THIS POINT IN THE PROCESS. AYES: 5 NAYS: 2 (Lorberbaum and Johnson) Chair Field advised the City Council would consider this application at its January 4, 2022 or January 18, 2022 meeting. B) PLANNING CASE 2021-23 SOUTHVIEW DESIGN/CATHOLIC CEMETERIES, 2101 LEXINGTON AVENUE SOUTH—WETLANDS PERMIT Community Development Director Tim Benetti explained that Southview Design, acting on behalf of Catholic Cemeteries is seeking approval of a Wetlands Permit to allow new landscaping and pond embankment improvements in Resurrection Cemetery. Hearing notices were published and mailed to all properties within 350-ft. of the site;no comments or objections to this request were received. Community Development Director Tim Benetti provided a planning staff report and a presentation on this planning item to the Commission (which is available for viewing through the City's website). Staff recommended approval of this application based on the findings and with conditions. Chair Field opened the public hearing. Taylor Wald, Southview Design/applicant, commented that he was contacted by Resurrection Cemetery for the project, and it was explained that the pond was manmade. He stated that the property owner stated that there was once turf grass up to the pond and over time that maintenance to the edge stopped which is when the native species and buckthorn began to grow. He stated that after reviewing the site many willows were rotting and the vegetation was not in good condition, page 30 which is why it was removed. He stated that they planned to use riprap but was open to other suggestions that should be considered. Commissioner Katz asked whether the cemetery would be willing to invest in a low growing native plant buffer around the pond. Mr. Wald confirmed that could be considered but believed rock should still be used for stability along the edge. Commissioner Corbett asked for clarity on the reference to the manmade pond. He asked if there would have been hesitation to remove vegetation if the pond were not manmade. Mr. Wald explained that it was his understanding that if the pond were manmade there would be lesser regulations related to buffer work. Commissioner Katz asked when they would be resuming work. Mr. Wald replied that they would begin work again in spring of 2022,perhaps April. Commissioner Petschel asked if the applicant is willing to commit to a 25-foot buffer around the pond. Mr. Wald commented that he would be open to it but would need to verify with the cemetery. Commissioner Petschel commented that he believes there would be a requirement for that 25-foot buffer. Public Works Director Ryan Ruzek replied that the City has adopted the PCA's recommended buffer distances. He explained that those are recommendations rather than buffer requirements. He stated that the City does want a 15-to-25-foot buffer around ponds, although that is not required. He commented that he believes that there was wetland that was excavated into the pond in 1978 and therefore the City would view this as a constructed stormwater pond. Community Development Director Tim Benetti commented that the City has requested or held a 25-foot buffer standard as a suggestion, but it is not a requirement through ordinance. Commissioner Lorberbaum commented that the Commission could recommend a 25-foot buffer. Chair Field stated that it is unfortunate that the property owner is not present. Commissioner Toth asked when the work would start. Mr. Wald commented that the removal is completed, and the work would begin in March or April. Commissioner Toth asked why the disturbance occurred when it did as there is now no buffer protection. He asked if there was discussion to complete the work in segments. page 31 Chair Field explained that the applicant believed that this was a manmade pond and not a wetland. Mr. Wald explained that this was planned to be a two-week project to be wrapped up by Thanksgiving, but they did receive a stop order. Commissioner Johnson commented that the City's Surface Water Management Plan includes a policy for wetlands to have an average 15-foot buffer of vegetation and asked for clarity. Public Works Director Ryan Ruzek commented that those policies are related to protected wetlands. He stated that staff views this as a constructed stormwater pond. Commissioner Johnson referenced the Land Disturbance Guidance document which states that seeding around ponds should be the MnDOT standard. She stated that if the applicant were to comply it would seem the seed mix or equivalent would need to be planted. Public Works Director Ryan Ruzek confirmed that would be the preference of staff. Chair Field asked if Mr. Wald would be comfortable with the Commission recommending the prescribed buffer. Mr. Wald believed that would be acceptable. Commissioner Corbett commented that if the cemetery did not agree, it could come back to request a change or could choose not to move forward with the project. Chair Field stated that the alternative would be to table to allow Mr. Wald to go back to the cemetery to discuss the buffer and then come back to the next Commission meeting. Mr. Wald asked if the recommendation would be to not do the rock around the pond at all. Chair Field replied that he is unsure that is the recommendation and asked staff for clarification. Community Development Director Tim Benetti commented that the ten-foot rock layer could stay with a 15-foot planted buffer of the MnDOT seed mix. He stated that if the cemetery has an issue, they could come to the Council meeting to provide input or could call staff to request that the matter go back to the Planning Commission. Chair Field stated that would allow a failsafe for the cemetery. Commissioner Johnson referenced the fountain and noted that traditionally while fountains can be aesthetically pleasing,they do not solve the environmental problem that is attempting to be solved in algae prevention/elimination. page 32 Mr. Wald commented that it is his understanding that the fountain was for aesthetic purposes and to attempt to address the algae. He stated that he did communicate to the cemetery that the fountain will help with algae,but other measures would be necessary as well. Commissioner Johnson asked if the ten-foot rock buffer is an aesthetic desire as well. Mr. Wald replied that aesthetics is part of that decision, but it also helps with maintenance. He stated that the water level rises and falls as well, which was a factor for the rocks. Commissioner Johnson commented that the plants on the edge of the water are needed to keep the pond clean. She asked if they would be willing to reassess the ten-foot rock buffer in order to improve the water quality of the pond, which eventually flows to other bodies of water. Mr.Wald commented that he believes the cemetery would be open to that if that is what is required. He noted that would most likely be similar to what existed previously and commented that he believes the cemetery wanted to have more open space and utilize the space around the pond and keep those views open. Seeing no one further coming forward wishing to speak, Chair Field asked for a motion to close the public hearing. COMMISSIONER LORBERBAUM MOVED, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER CORBETT, TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. AYES: 7 NAYS: 0 Commissioner Corbett stated that he would like to have discussion related to what is required and what is suggested. He stated that it would appear the mix would be required. Commissioner Petschel asked to what degree the Land Disturbance Guidance document constitutes a requirement of Code. He noted that those are specified as guidelines rather than rules. Public Works Director Ryan Ruzek replied that the document is codified and therefore any disturbance activities do need to follow that document. He stated that the buffers are not well defined as being a requirement. He stated that they would be asking for a wetland seed mix in the disturbed areas around the pond. He stated that staff would prefer a 25-foot vegetative buffer with the seed mix but stated that he cannot find within the Code that it would be enforceable. Commissioner Corbett stated that the seed mix is stipulated as a requirement for disturbed areas, but the distance of the buffer is not required. He stated that a condition should be used stating that the seed mix should be used in the disturbed areas at minimum. He was unsure what could be required above that. Commissioner Petschel asked if the river rock is prohibited. page 33 Public Works Director Ryan Ruzek did not believe that was prohibited. Commissioner Johnson commented that she was unsure if a riprap buffer would be allowed prior to the plantings under the other noted sources. Public Works Director Ryan Ruzek noted that riprap has been used for streams and ponds and do work for that purpose. Commissioner Corbett asked for clarification on the concern with the river rock versus the plantings in that area. Commissioner Johnson stated that the plants assist with water quality, which will result in a less green pond and will provide higher quality water flowing to other bodies of water. Commissioner Petschel asked how the pond is connected to the lake. Public Works Director Ryan Ruzek stated that the pond has three stormwater inlets and has an outlet system that flows to the north and connects to a culvert which goes to the lake. Commissioner Johnson commented that the pond is receiving water from the property and additional water flowing in, which supports the need for a vegetative buffer. Commissioner Lorberbaum asked how much of a difference there is between what was proposed by the applicant versus what Commissioner Johnson is suggesting and whether it would be more beneficial for this to come back to the Commission. Commissioner Johnson confirmed that she is suggesting something significantly different. Public Works Director Ryan Ruzek commented that the applicant did try to fast track the project as they believed a permit was not required. He stated that because the work is not planned to resume until April,perhaps the best course of action would be to go back to the cemetery to further discuss the concerns mentioned tonight. Commissioner Corbett commented that it does not seem like there is an urgency to make contingent approvals tonight. He asked if Commissioner Johnson would be requesting no river rock and a larger setback.

BACKGROUND Over the past several years, the City has made strides in growing its natural resources program including the proposed addition of a natural resources commission in 2022. The expanded scope of the natural resources program justifies a reclassification of duties for staff to reflect these changes. In addition to supporting the new natural resources commission, the change to a coordinator from a technician means that this person will now lead rather than assist in the implementation of natural resources projects including native prairie management and invasive species control,the emerald ash borer management plan, the city's NPDES Phase II Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, etc. This will expand the management capacity of the public works/engineering department and support the continued growth of these initiatives within the City. In addition, the reclassification includes a role shift from supporting grant writing to leading grant writing for natural resources within the city. With the added capacity of the new classification for this position, the city hopes to expand our grant awards to further support natural resources initiatives. The City's current natural resources technician has the knowledge, skills and experience to be able to provide the expanded scope reflected in this reclassification. This action would not add an additional position but would move Natural Resources Technician, Krista Spreiter, from a pay grade seven to a pay grade 10, add additional duties to the position and change the title to Natural Resources Coordinator. This position reclassification is an opportunity for the city to maintain its momentum around the natural resources program, retain talented staff and create opportunities to better address the natural resources goals set forth by the City Council. BUDGET IMPACT The reclassification of this position was included in the FY2022 budget. page 37 With the additional job responsibilities, the Natural Resources Coordinator position is placed at pay grade 10 of the City's Compensation Plan. For 2022,the salary range for this position is $70,318 and $86,439 annually. The promotion/reclassification of Krista Spreiter to Natural Resources Coordinator results in an increase of $2,750 annually from her current compensation as Natural Resources Technician. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the City Council approve the position reclassification of the Natural Resources Technician to a Natural Resources Coordinator at a pay grade 10 on the City's Compensation Plan and further recommends the promotion reclassification of Krista Spreiter to the position of Natural Resources Coordinator with an annual salary of$75,326, which is step three of pay grade 10 of the City's Compensation Plan, effective February 3, 2022. ACTION REQUIRED If the Council concurs, it should, by motion, approve the position reclassification of the Natural Resources Technician to a Natural Resources Coordinator and the promotion reclassification of Krista Spreiter, with the pay provisions listed above. page 38 Position: Natural Resources Coordinator Department: Engineering FLSA Status: Non-Exempt Reports To: Public Works Director General Definition of Work Performs skilled technical work in a variety of areas including natural resources planning, administration, and implementation of programs relating to water resources, upland habitat management, wildlife management and forestry; may also perform general engineering technician duties including GIS work.

BACKGROUND Mendota Heights awarded a contract to Urban Companies for the Ridge Place Sanitary Sewer and Streambank repair project at their September 23, 2021 meeting for their low bid of$367,310. The project was substantially completed this fall and the contractor is requesting payment on additional work for the project. Staff has been in negotiations with the contractor regarding their requested extra payment. DISCUSSION Urban Companies submitted a change order for additional tree removals and reconnection of a sanitary sewer service. The contractor needed to remove six additional trees. Two trees were too close to the sanitary sewer trench to be safely worked around and the additional four trees were growing in the streambank and prevented the contractor from meeting the project requirements. The contractor also needed to repair a sanitary sewer connection for the property at 822 Ridge Place. The existing service had separated near the pipe replacement and needed to be rerouted to the adjacent manhole. The following is a summary of the request from Urban Companies. Item Cost CO 1.1 Tree Removal (4 trees) $4,288 CO 1.2 Tree Removal (2 trees) $1,700 CO 1.3 Sanitary Sewer Service Connection $6,935.25 Total $12,923.25 In addition to the above change order request, the disturbed area of the project exceeded the areas identified in the project scope. This expanded area was necessary to perform the page 54 streambank work from both sides of the creek. It was also assumed that salvaged topsoil on the site could be reused but due to the November weather, the contractor was not able to dry out the material and it was needed to be exported. The settled area over the sanitary sewer also needed a larger volume of topsoil. Below is a summary of the added costs: Description Original Qty Final Qty Difference Unit Cost Additional Cost Top Soil 220 CY 646 CY 426 CY $35 $14,910 Restoration 1.5 acre 2.08 acre .58 acre $10,000 $5,800 Seed Mix 15 LB 30 LB 15 LB $100 $1,500 Seed Mix2 5 LB 12 LB 7 LB $100 $700 Seed Mix3 100 LB 240 LB 140LB $5 $700 EC Blanket 900 SY 2300 SY 1400 SY $3 $4,200 Mulch 1.1 acre 1.6 acre .5 acre $5,000 $2,500 Total $30,310 The project required the contractor to perform a subsurface soil testing in the area of the sanitary sewer settlement, this task was performed by the city consultant and removed from the project scope resulting in a decrease of$5,500. BUDGET IMPACT The entire change order fee and additional scope of work minus the subsurface testing results in a net increase of$37,733.25. This increase brings the project cost to $405,083.25. For comparison, the second lowest bidder on the project had abase fee of$403,738.50. The project is proposed to be funded through storm utility funds and Federal rescue plan funds. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Mendota Heights City Council approve Change Order 91 for the Ridge Place Sanitary Sewer and Streambank Repairs. ACTION REQUIRED If Council concurs with the staff recommendation, they should pass approving Change Order 91 for the Ridge Place Sanitary Sewer and Streambank Repairs.

BACKGROUND Xcel Energy has existing easements for its power distribution lines,which run from the Rogers Lake substation just south of Mendakota Park northerly to the river. DISCUSSION Xcel Energy recently replaced the power distribution lines from the MSP airport to the Rogers Lake substation. Additional improvements were also made to the substation. In reviewing the plans for the improvements, staff asked Xcel Energy to review their existing easements. Based on a review, Xcel Energy is showing that their easement needs to be modified(expanded)to fully cover their existing facilities. Xcel Energy is proposing to expand their existing easement to the west covering an additional 17,000 square feet(0.4 acres). Xcel Energy reviewed comparable sales and determined a value of$107,224 per acre for land value. Easements are calculated at 75% of the fee value as an industry standard and this value was multiplied by the 0.4 acres resulting in an offer of$32,167.20 for the easement. BUDGETIMPACT The City would deposit the monies into its general fund or could be put toward park improvements. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends Council approve Resolution 2022-06 accepting the offer of compensation and granting a permanent easement modification to Northern States Power. ACTION REQUIRED If Council wishes to enact the staff recommendation, it should pass a motion approving RESOLUTION 2022-06,APPROVING A PERMANET EASEMENT MODIFICATION TO NORTHERN STATES POWER.

BACKGROUND Included in the City's 2022 budget is $22,250 for the purchase of a new utility vehicle for the parks department to replace a 2009 Kubota RTV100 that will be traded in. A BOSS snow blade will also be purchased to fit on the gator for the snow removal on trails. This amount was included in the Capital purchases to be made from the City's Fund Balance. DISCUSSION This new utility vehicle will be utilized for snow removal on the trail system, dragging infields in the parks, accessing off road utilities and general park maintenance tasks. The city owns a similar John Deere gator that has been mechanically sound. BUDGET IMPACT The cost for the replacement equipment is: John Deere Gator $25,732.38 BOSS Blade $ 4,495.00 Trade in for the old Kubota -$ 7,500.00 Total less trade in $22,727.38 The price of the John Deere Gator increased from when staff acquired quotes last year. The total amount is $477.38 over the amount included in the 2022 budget. It is being requested that the total amount be paid for out of the City's Fund Balance. The John Deere Gator is listed on the Sourcewell Grounds Maintenance Contract, so this will not require competitive bids. page 67 RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Mendota Heights City Council pass a motion authorizing the purchase of a John Deere gator and BOSS snow blade in the amount of $22,727.38 to be paid out of the City's Fund Balance. ACTION REQUIRED If the City Council concurs with the recommendation, they should pass a motion authorizing the purchase of a John Deere gator and BOSS snow blade in the amount of$22,727.38 to be paid out of the City's Fund Balance. This action requires a simple majority vote. page 68 5k. 1101 Victoria Curve I Mendota Heights,MN 55118 651.452.1850 phone 1 651.452.8940 fax www.mendota-helghts.com mCITY OF MENDaTA HEIGHTS DATE: February 2, 2022 TO: Mayor, City Council and City Administrator FROM: Dave Dreelan, Fire Chief SUBJECT: Mobile Radio Purchase INTRODUCTION The City Council is asked to approve the purchase of nine new Motorola Mobile Radios. BACKGROUND All major pieces of fire apparatus use a Motorola mobile radio to communicate with the Dakota County Dispatch Center and other fire apparatus. Once these radios reach 10 years of age, Motorola no longer guarantees that parts will be available to repair them. The department's radios are now close to 15 years in age. The lack of parts, supply chain issues and technical aspects of repairing a broken radio could leave the department without a critical piece of equipment for weeks or months. The department is requesting that all of the mobile radios be replaced. Ancom Communications of Burnsville, Minnesota currently holds the state contract for mobile radios. All of the items in the department's radio specification can be purchased off the state bid (state cooperative purchasing agreement) for the amount of$41,939.25 Once the equipment is received the department will solicit quotations for the installation of the radios into the fire apparatus. BUDGET IMPACT The replacement of Fire Department mobile radios is included in the 2022 budget. Cost for replacement is to be paid from the City's Fund Balance. The total amount budgeted for fire radio equipment and installation is $70,000. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council authorize the purchase of the Motorola Radio Equipment for $41,393.25. ACTION REQUIRED If the Council concurs, it should, by motion authorize the purchase of the radio equipment from, Ancom Communications in the amount of$41,393.25. page 69 1101 victoria Curve I Mendota Height 51. 651,452.1850 phone 1651.45 s;�nr www.mendota-height CITY OF MENI]OTA HEIGHTS Request for City Council Action MEETING DATE: February 2, 2022 TO: Mayor, City Council, and City Administrator FROM: Scott Goldenstein, Assistant Fire Chief SUBJECT: December 2021 Fire Synopsis COMMENT: COMMENT: Fire Calls: In December, the Fire Department was paged for service a total of 18 times.

BACKGROUND The preparation of a feasibility report for the Centre Pointe Street Improvements which is required to follow the Minnesota Statutes Chapter 429 process was authorized by the Mendota Heights City Council by adopting Resolution 2021-78 at the City Council meeting held on September 23, 2021. The Statute 429 process is required because the city intends to assess a portion of the project. The feasibility report for the Centre Pointe Street Improvements was accepted by the Mendota Heights City Council and called for a Public Hearing on February 2, 2022 by adopting Resolution 2022-03 at the January 4, 2021, city council meeting. The recommendation of the feasibility report was to proceed with this project. The proposed streets to be rehabilitated are Acacia Boulevard, Carmen Lane, Centre Pointe Boulevard, Centre Pointe Curve, Centre Pointe Drive, Commerce Drive, Dakota Drive, Lemay Avenue, Pilot Knob Road, and Waters Drive. Based on our observations, as well as our pavement management system, a majority of these streets have deteriorated to the point where it is no longer cost effective to patch the street and rehabilitation is necessary. DISCUSSION The feasibility report indicates the estimated costs for the project, along with preliminary assessment estimates. At the end of the feasibility report, a project financing summary is included to show project cost splits and funding sources to be utilized. The total estimated cost of the project is $3,736,910 including indirect costs. The largest contributor to the increased costs is due to the wide streets constructed. A portion of the feasibility report is attached and the entire report is available for review at city hall or via request. page 85 A Neighborhood Informational Meeting was held on January 19, 2021 to provide the property owners an opportunity to discuss the projects in an informal setting prior to the Public Hearing. Staff presented the proposed improvements,project costs, estimated assessments and answered resident's questions. Two residents attended the informational meeting representing one property. BUDGET IMPACT Street improvement projects are proposed to be assessed to the benefiting property owners. Pursuant to the City's Street Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Policy, the benefiting properties should be assessed 50% of the street reconstruction and rehabilitation costs. The following tables show the estimated unit assessments based on the City policy.

This reduces the assessable front footage or number of units. In these areas, a frontage or unit count was added and assigned to the City. This normalized the assessment rates. However, even after this was completed, the mill and overlay rates were still larger than should be expected. The main reason for this is the wider width of the roadways for the mill and overlay area. For mill and overlay the assessment rate was capped at$30.00 per front foot or $3,000 for each residential unit. page 86 Residential assessments for the project are calculated to be $3,000 for the mill & overlay (Pilot Knob Road), $6,005 for the reclaimed streets (Dakota Drive), and $8,260 for the reconstruction of Carmen Lane. Business properties within the project area are proposed to be assessed using a front footage assessment as shown in the attached assessment maps. The front footage assessment for the mill& overlay area is $30.00 per foot(Commerce Drive, Lemay Avenue, Waters Drive, Pilot Knob Road, Acacia Boulevard), and is proposed to be $60.00 per foot for the reclaimed streets (Centre Point streets, Dakota Drive).

There is also $500,000 funding from the Municipal State Aid account. The total project cost is estimated at $3,736,910. It is presumed that the City would secure bonding for the Municipal Levy and Assessment portions of the project($2,974,010). The assessment amount of$986,330 is equivalent to 33.2% of the bond amount. Minnesota Statutes Chapter 429 Special Assessment Bond Issue requires that a minimum of 20% of the total bond issue amount be recovered through special assessments. As the project is designed and competitively bid, the calculated assessment amount will be updated leading up to the adoption of the assessment roll. The improvements are necessary to allow for safe and reliable street and utility services within the City of Mendota Heights. The project will be competitively bid to allow for a cost effective improvement. The feasibility study has provided an overall analysis of the feasible improvements for consideration within this project area. Therefore, the proposed improvements within the areas outlined in this report are necessary, cost effective, and feasible from an engineering standpoint. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Council conduct the Public Hearing and order the improvements, authorizing staff to prepare the plans and specifications for the Centre Pointe Street Improvement proj ect. ACTION REQUIRED Conduct the public hearing, and then if City Council wishes to implement the staff recommendation,pass a motion adopting Resolution 2022-09, A RESOLUTION ORDERING OF IMPROVEMENT PROJECT AND PREPARATION OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE CENTRE POINTE STREET IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT #202107. This action requires a super majority vote. page 87 CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS DAKOTA COUNTY,MINNESOTA RESOLUTION 2022-09 A RESOLUTION ORDERING OF IMPROVEMENT PROJECT AND PREPARATION OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE CENTRE POINTE STREET IMPROVEMENT PROJECT (PROJECT#202109) WHEREAS, on January 4, 2021, the Mendota Heights City Council authorized the holding of a public hearing (the "Hearing")under Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 429, as amended (the "Act"),to discuss and consider various street rehabilitation projects, storm water infrastructure improvement and replacement, aggregate base, concrete curb and gutter improvements, bituminous surfacing, trail improvements, and appurtenant work (collectively, the "Improvements"), in and along portions of the following streets: Acacia Boulevard, Carmen Lane, Centre Pointe Boulevard, Centre Pointe Curve, Centre Pointe Drive, Commerce Drive, Dakota Drive, Lemay Avenue, Pilot Knob Road, and Waters Drive (collectively,the "Assessment Area"); and WHEREAS, also on January 4, 2022, the Council received a feasibility report on the Improvements from the Public Works Director (the "Feasibility Report"), which report explored the feasibility and estimated costs to provide the Improvements under the Act; and WHEREAS, the estimated costs of the Improvements, as detailed in the Feasibility Report, is $3,736,910, and will be financed from a combination of available City Utility Funds, Special Assessments,Municipal State Aid, and general obligation improvement bonds; and WHEREAS, the Public Works Director has held neighborhood informational meetings in January, to give each neighborhood in the Assessment Area a summary of the Improvements, and the necessity of such Improvements to the general overall health of the City; and WHEREAS, ten days' mailed notice and two weeks' published notice of the Hearing was given, as required by the Act, and the Hearing was held on the date hereof, at which time all persons desiring to be heard were given an opportunity to be heard thereon; and WHEREAS, a reasonable estimate of the total amount to be assessed, and a description of the methodology used to calculate individual assessments for affected parcels within the Assessment Area, has been made available for the Hearing. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED,by the City Council of the City of Mendota Heights, Minnesota, as follows: 1. The Improvements are necessary,cost-effective and feasible as detailed in the Feasibility Report. Specifically,the Improvements are necessary to update the City's street infrastructure system, as many streets were originally constructed more than 40 years ago, and contain pavement that has been continually patched,overlaid, seal coated, and slurry sealed,but now is in need of rehabilitation. The repair of associated aging storm water infrastructure concurrently with the street reconstruction is additionally recommended for project efficiency. Finally,the Improvements are feasible from an engineering standpoint. 2. The Improvements are hereby ordered. The Council shall let the contract for all or part of the Improvements, as authorized by Section 429.041, Subdivision 1 of the Act,no later than December 31,2022. page 88 3. The portion of the Improvements related to associated storm water infrastructure are instituted under the Act, and this portion of the Improvements can be more economically completed if consolidated and joined as one project with the Improvements, as allowed pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 435.56, as amended. Therefore, all subsequent proceedings under the Act related to the Improvements shall be conducted in all respects as if the various separate proceedings had originally been instituted as one proceeding. The actions of City staff and consultants to consolidate the storm water infrastructure portion of the Improvements with the remainder of the Improvements are approved and ratified. 4. The Improvements have no relationship to the City's Comprehensive Plan. 5. The Public Works Director shall prepare plans and specifications for the making of such Improvements, which plans and specifications shall be placed on file at the City upon completion. 6. The Council declares its official intent to reimburse itself for all or a portion of the costs of the Improvements from the proceeds of tax-exempt bonds. The City has a reasonable expectation that it will issue one or more series of tax-exempt bonds in the estimated maximum principal amount of$3,736,910 to finance the Improvements, and the City will make reimbursement allocations with respect to such original expenditures for the Improvements from the proceeds of the Bonds.

BACKGROUND The Parks and Recreation Commission advises the City Council on matters pertaining to parks and recreational programs; establishes regulations for the use and operation of the parks and recreational facilities; and improvement of the parks and recreational facilities. Per City Code 2-2-2, the Parks and Recreation Commission consists of seven residents of the city, appointed by the Mayor with the consent of the majority of the city council. Commission member Steve Goldade elected not to be reappointed to a second term resulting in a vacancy on the commission. The open seat was advertised from December 8 to December 30, and four residents submitted their applications. One candidate withdrew from the process prior to interviews being held and one candidate did not respond to interview requests. As a result, two candidates were interviewed for the opening. Interviews were conducted on February 2 during a city council work session. ACTION RECOMMENDED The City Council should appoint one resident to the Parks and Recreation Commission by adopting Resolution 2022-11. The City Council should complete the resolution by filling in the name of the candidate selected. ACTION REQUESTED If the Council concurs, it should, by motion, adopt Resolution 2022-11, Appointment Filling a Vacancy on the Parks and Recreation Commission page 93 CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS DAKOTA COUNTY, MINNESOTA RESOLUTION 2022-11 APPOINTMENT FILLING A VACANCY ON THE PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Mendota Heights benefits from the active participation of citizens in representing the City on boards and commissions; and WHEREAS,the Parks and Recreation Commission serves as an advisory body to the City Council and advises the Council on matters pertaining to parks and recreational programs, the use and operation of the parks and recreational facilities, and improvement of the parks facilities; and WHEREAS,the City Council recognizes the excellent qualifications of Mendota Heights resident to serve the City on the Parks and Recreation Commission. NOW, THEREFORE,BE IT RESOLVED by the Mendota Heights City Council that it hereby appoints to the Parks and Recreation Commission for a three year term to expire on January 31, 2025. Adopted by the Mendota Heights City Council this 2nd day of February, 2022.

The applicant and property owner is Ms. Elle Mason. BACKROUND The subject property is generally located near the intersection of Mulberry Lane and Oak Street; measures 100' x 200' or 20,000-sf. (0.46 acres); and contains a 3,096-s£ split-level single-family dwelling built in 1970; along with an existing 20' x 32' (720-s£) detached garage. The home was originally constructed with a 20' x 24' attached/two-car garage,which was closed-up and converted to living space a number of years ago by a previous owner. Ms. Mason was in the process of remodeling the home, which included reconverting and re-installing the attached two car garage space to the home,along with a 2nd-story living addition. During the course of the project, city staff discovered the home project was being done without an approved building permit, and immediately issued a "Stop-Work Order". Upon further investigation, it was determined the contractor misled the owners by claiming a building permit was submitted and approved by the city; and inspections were being made and approved by the city inspector,which turned out not to be true. Approximately 70% of the remodeling project was completed prior to the stoppage. The contractor is no longer involved in the project; and is currently under investigation by the State of MN Dept. of Labor& Industry. The owner has now hired a new licensed home contractor, and submitted an updated building permit application for the completed construction and remaining work on the home. This building permit will be issued depending on the outcome of this variance. As part of the zoning review of this building permit, it was determined the property has an existing 20' x 32' (720-s£)detached garage in the rear-yard. Zoning Code allows single-family uses an attached garage up to 1,200-sf. in size, or up to 750-sf. for a detached garage,but not both—unless the lot is 0.75 acres or larger. As noted earlier,Ms.Mason's lot is sonly 0.46 acres. Ms.Mason was unaware of this Zoning Code regulation, and is now requesting this variance in order to keep and maintain both the new attached and existing detached garage on the property. page 95 RECOMMENDATION On January 25, 2022 the Planning Commission held a public hearing on this item, whereby a planning report was presented and received by the commission, and comments from the Applicant and public were allowed. A copy of the 01/25/2022 planning report and meeting minutes are appended to this memo. Upon closing the hearing,the Planning Commission voted favorably (6-1) to recommend approval of the Variance for 693 Mulberry Lane,with conditions and findings-of-fact supporting this approval. ACTION REQUESTED If City Council wishes to affirm this recommendation, it should, by motion adopt RESOLUTION NO. 2022-13 APPROVING A VARIANCE FOR 693 MULBERRY LANE. Action on the resolution requires a simple majority vote. Should the Council decide to over-turn this recommendation, it should,make a motion to table this matter and direct city staff to prepare an alternative resolution of denial for consideration,which will be presented to the council at the February 15, 2022 regular meeting. (note: the 60-day statutory review period for this application expires March 2, 2022) page 96 CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS DAKOTA COUNTY, MINNESOTA RESOLUTION 2022-13 RESOLUTION APPROVING A VARIANCE FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 693 MULBERRY LANE (PLANNING CASE NO. 2022-01) WHEREAS, Elle Mason (the"Applicant")requests a Variance for the property located at 693 Mulberry Lane (the "Subject Property"), legally described on attached Exhibit A; and WHEREAS, the Subject Property is guided LR-Low Density Residential in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan and is situated in the R-1 One Family Residential District; and WHEREAS, the Applicant seeks a Variance to City Code Section 12-ID-3.C.l.a, which regulates the number of accessory structures permitted in a residential district, whereby the Applicant is seeking permission or allowance to keep a newly constructed 20' x 24' (480-sq. ft.) attached garage with an existing 720-sq. ft. detached garage, situated in the R-1 One Family Residential district; and WHEREAS, Title 12-1L-5 of the City Code (Variances) allows for the Council to grant variances or certain modifications from the strict application of the provisions of the City Code, and impose conditions and safeguards with variances if so needed or granted: and WHEREAS, on January 25, 2022, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on Planning Case No. 2022-01, whereby a planning report was presented and received by the commission, comments from the Applicant and public were allowed, and the Planning Commission recommended favorably(6-1 vote)to approve the Variance requested under Planning Case No. 2022-01 and for the Subject Property, with certain conditions and findings-of-fact as noted in this resolution. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Mendota Heights City Council that the recommendation from the Planning Commission is hereby affirmed, and the Variance requested under Planning Case No. 2022-01 and for the Subject Property, is hereby approved, with the following findings of fact: A. Under Title 12-IL-5A of the City Code, the Council may grant variances from the strict application of the provisions of the Code in cases where there are"practical difficulties"in carrying out the strict letter of the regulations of the Code. "Practical difficulties" consists of a three-part test: (i) the Applicant proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not otherwise permitted by the Code; (ii)the plight of the Applicant is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the Applicant; and (iii) the variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood. Economic considerations alone do not constitute "practical difficulties." page 97 B. The Applicant has met the burden of demonstrating the requisite"practical difficulties" in order to justify the granting of the Variance for a reduced setbacks by the following supporting statements: i.) the newly converted attached garage is viewed consistent with other homes and properties throughout the surrounding neighborhood, and the overall use and enjoyment of the home and property does not change even with the variance to allow the attached garage structure with the existing detached garage structure in the back yard, and therefore the requested variance is considered a reasonable request. ii.) unique circumstances related to this special variance case were created by irresponsible and dishonest actions by others, and not the Applicant/Owners. The attached garage structure is a desirable and reasonable feature on many other single-family homes throughout a community; and this alternative to keeping an almost complete garage addition along with the existing detached garage structure on the subject property is reasonable and can only be accommodated by approval of this variance. iii.)additional practical difficulties are recognized in this case due to the physical characteristics and properties of the subject property, which makes the existing detached garage difficult to access and use. iv.)approving the Variance does not change the essential character of the neighborhood, as this is a very modest addition and does not change the overall appearance or development of the property. There appears to be other properties in this neighborhood with similar attached/detached garage characteristics,so approving this variance should not negatively impact or affect this neighborhood; and v.) allowing this new garage addition and detached garage intact on the subject property by means of this variance can be considered in harmony with the general purpose of the zoning ordinance and consistent with the current and proposed land use plans,goals and policy statements contained in the 2040 Comprehensive Plans of the community. C. The City has considered the factors required by Title 12-1L-5.E.1 of the City Code, including but not limited to the effect of the Variance upon the health, safety, and welfare of the community, existing and anticipated traffic conditions, the effect of the Variance on the danger of fire and the risk to public safety, and upon the value of properties in the surrounding area, and upon the Comprehensive Plan,and has determined this Variance will not impact or pose any negative threats upon the neighborhood or the community in general. D. Approval of the Variance is for 693 Mulberry Lane only, and does not apply or give precedential value to any other properties throughout the City. All variance applicants must apply for and provide a project narrative to the City to justify a variance. All variance requests must be reviewed independently by city staff and legal counsel under the requirements of the City Code. page 98 E. The factual findings and analysis found in the Planning Staff Report for Planning Case No. 2022-0 1, dated and presented January 25, 2022 (on file with the City ofMendota Heights), is hereby fully incorporated into Resolution No. 2022-13. F. The City has the authority to place reasonable conditions upon the property subject to this variance request. Conditions must be directly related to and roughly proportional to the impact created by the variance. Conditions related to this transaction are as follows: 1) The Applicant/Owner and/or their contractor(s) will ensure that all construction work already completed and any additional work on the property will be approved by a new building permit submitted to the city, with final approval and authorization granted by the City Building Official and Community Development Director. 2) The proposed garage space and residential addition and all other related improvements shall be constructed in compliance with all applicable City Code and State of Minnesota Building Code standards. 3) Should this variance be granted,the detached garage structure in the rear yard shall be considered a non-conforming structure, and subject to the requirements and standards of City Code Section 12-1D-1: Nonconforming Uses, Structures and Land. 4) Approval of the variance is contingent upon City Council approval of the application and corresponding site plan. If the variance is approved by the City Council, the Applicant shall obtain a building permit for construction of the proposed addition within one (1) year from said approval date. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED,by the Mendota Heights City Council that the Variance requested under Planning Case No. 2022-01 and for 693 Mulberry Lane is hereby approved. Adopted by the City Council of the City of Mendota Heights this 2nd day of February,2022.

Ms. Mason is seeking an allowance to keep a newly constructed 20' x 24' (480-sq. ft.) attached garage with an existing 720-sq. ft. detached garage in the R-1 One Family Residential district. A public hearing notice for this item was published in the local newspaper and notice letters were mailed to all surrounding properties within 350-feet of the subject property. The applicant provided a list of adjacent homeowners who support his variance request, which are appended to this report. No other comments or objections were received. BACKGROUND GC3 MULBERRY LANE The subject parcel is generally located near the intersection a , of Mulberry Lane and Oak Street(see GIS image right) . The property is 100-ft. wide by 200-ft. deep, or 20,000-sq. t .� ft.in area(0.46 acres). The property has an existing 3,096- " � sq. ft. (finished) split-level single-family dwelling, built in - 1 1970. The original home was constructed with a 20' x 24' attached/two-car garage. A number of years ago, the -= ----- "- -- previous owners of the property enclosed the attached . garage, and converted it to added living space (note: due to ir I city's retention schedule, records or copies of the permit I closing up this garage no longer exists. The home as it ' � appears pre-construction work is shown on the Dakota Co. Assessor Records photo below/left) Planning Case 2022-01(E.Mason-Variance-693 Mulberry Ln.) Page 1 of 12 a e 101 F As a replacement for this previous attached garage area, the former owners also constructed a 20' x 36' (720-sq. ft.) detached garage in the back yard (see image above/right). This garage has a 16-ft. wide double overhead door and an 8.5-ft. wide single overhead door, along with a side-service door. Ms. Mason purchased the subject property about 4 years ago, and was in the process of remodeling the home, which included re-installing or putting back the two car attached garage feature to the home, along with a 2nd-story living addition above the garage area and main living space (refer to plan image below). E �.. Ta,s c' j nlI �nC1 — — � A y.1i 1va++a rt/ — _. IF f_-1:.=tilA Around late November,the city's Building Official was notified that some new work was being performed, and upon checking city records later determined the property did not have an approved building permit. Upon an immediate site visit,a"STOP-WORK"order was issued,and while meeting with the homeowners, it was discovered the home remodeling contractor Ms. Mason hired told her that he had permission or had a permit for said work and inspections were being made by the city-when in fact that was not the case. Ms. Mason immediately dismissed the contractor, and is now pursuing separate legal (civil) action against the original contractor. Ms. Mason has now hired a new licensed home contractor, and submitted a new building permit application for the almost completed and remaining work on the home. At the time this Stop-Work order was issued, the home remodeling project is roughly 60-70% complete, with most of the upper new living space framed and enclosed, and the new attached garage space reconverted from living to vehicle storage space,with a new 16-ft.wide overhead door(see image-below). Planning Case 2022-01(E.Mason-Variance-693 Mulberry Ln.) Page 2 of 12 page 102 ii ..F x - u99 In later meetings with the homeowner, city staff informed Ms. Mason that in order to keep the newly reconverted attached garage space, she would have to remove the 20' x 36' detached garage in the back yard;or the other option would be to remove the new 16-ft. overhead door on the reconverted garage space, and convert this back to living space (as before). Ms. Mason, being unaware of the Zoning Code regulations restricting or allowing detached garages on certain sized parcels in the residential zones, and wanting to keep and maintain both the new attached and existing detached garage,elected to delay her building project in order to pursue this variance. The variance is requesting to keep the newly converted attached garage space with the existing detached garage in the back yard, even though she does not have the required lot area, which will be explained further in the following Analysis section. ANALYSIS Ms.Mason explains in her application narrative and in discussions with city staff,that the existing detached garage in the back yard is accessed by a narrow, steep driveway leading from the front circular driveway apron,wraps around the east side of the home and towards the back yard area,where it connects to a large bituminous apron and garage location(see attached site photos end of report). Ms. Mason stated getting to the back garage area, both on foot or in vehicles, especially in winter-time or snowy/icy conditions, makes traveling up and down this driveway very difficult, hence the reason for reconstructing the attached garage addition. City Code Section 12-1D-3: ACCESSORY STRUCTURES states all single-family residential uses are allowed one attached garage up to 1,200-sq. ft.in size,or a detached garage up to 750-sq. ft. in size,but not together, unless the property meets certain size standards. For those lots less than 0.75-acres in area, only one attached or one single detached garage is allowed. For properties less than 0.75 acres in size and to be allowed to have both an attached and detached garage requires a variance. Variance Process ♦ City Code Section 12-1L-5 governs variance requests. The city must consider a number of variables when recommending or deciding on a variance,which generally fall into two categories: (i)practical difficulties; and(ii)impact to the community. Planning Case 2022-01(E.Mason-Variance-693 Mulberry Ln.) Page 3 of 12 page 103 The "practical difficulties"test contains three parts: (i)the property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not otherwise permitted by the zoning ordinance; (ii)the plight of the property owner is due to circumstances unique to the property, not created by the property owner; and(iii)the variance, if granted,will not alter the essential character of the locality or neighborhood. It is also noted that economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties. In addition, variances are only to be permitted when they are in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the zoning ordinance and consistent with the comprehensive plan. Section 12-IL-5(E)(1) further provides other issues the city may consider when granting or denying a variance,noted as follows: • Effect of variance upon health, safety, and welfare of the community. • Existing and anticipated traffic conditions. • Effect on light and air, as well as the danger office and the risk to public safety. • Effect on the value of properties in the surrounding area, and upon the Comprehensive Plan. • Granting of the variance is not a convenience to the applicant, but necessary to alleviate undue hardship or difficulty. When considering a variance request, the Planning Commission must determine if these standards have been met in granting a variance, and provide findings-of-facts to support such a recommendation to the City Council. If the Planning Commission determines the Applicant has failed to meet these standards, or has not fully demonstrated a reasonableness in the granting of such variance, then findings-of-fact supporting a recommendation of denial must be determined. As part of any variance request, Applicants are required to prepare and submit their own responses and findings,which for this case, are noted below (in italic text), followed by a brief staff response: 1. Are there any practical difficulties that help support the granting of this variance? ("practical difficulties" means the owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by City Code) Applicant's Response: Yes- • We all know the benefits of having an attached garage, especially during MN winter for older people. The sloped driveway to the detached garage in the back is unusable to function as a garage during the MN winter months. • As we get older and move towards retirement, it's difficult to walk down there, get the snow blower to plow snow all the way up, then plow the driveway in the front • It's more difficult to plow snow around the cars parked in front too. • We have always used the detached garage for storage during the winter, something we have relied heavily on ever since we bought the house. • These days with so much construction materials, leftovers and the kitchen cabinets that got delivered way too early, along with our own stored items, the entire detached garage is full. • With the on-going pandemic, the increasing list of to dos from the horrendous construction mess and significant time commitment needed, we have not been feeling the greatest either. We pray that we will stay healthy while sorting through all the mess and moving forward. Staffs Response: Staff tends to agree with the Applicant's statement that it is somewhat difficult to walk and/or drive vehicles to and from the back detached garage area. It is reasonable to assume that when the former owners closed off the old attached garage,the only reasonable option was to build a detached garage at the bottom, level area of the back yard. As noted in the Applicant's narrative and variance responses; the purposes of this new home improvement project was not only to create Planning Case 2022-01(E.Mason-Variance-693 Mulberry Ln.) Page 4 of 12 page 104 additional living space, but also provide a suitable and safer means of storing and accessing vehicles within the principal structure. The outer footprint of the home never changed,and the property appears large enough to support both the attached and detached garage in their respective locations. In this particular variance application, the case for arguing a practical difficulty was created by the careless and irresponsible action of another person—not the homeowners. To allow the homeowners the freedom and flexibility to keep and use the already completed "attached"garage can be viewed as a reasonable request, especially in these circumstances. Staff therefore states the new attached garage coupled with the existing detached garage is a reasonable request, and the overall property will remain to be used in a reasonable manner as prescribed by Code. 2. The plight of the property owner is due to circumstances unique to the property,not created by the property owner. Applicant's Response: Yes- • We have been deceived by the contractor we hired. He took advantage of our trust and turned our life upside down. • Had he pulled the permit and we were informed of the rules and options, we would have most likely made different decisions in terms of remodeling vs. moving to a more retirement friendly house. • We love this neighborhood and our neighbors. Everyone is kind and supportive. We really didn't want to move if we didn't have to. • We have neighbors walking by during the remodeling and giving us thumbs up as everyone enjoys seeing updates being made in the neighborhood. Staffs Response: The plight of the landowners requesting the variance is clearly due to the dishonest and irresponsible actions of a contractor, and clearly circumstances not created by the owners. While it remains the responsibility of all homeowners to know and check their contractors before hiring them, many residents have confidence that those they hire are licensed, legitimate, and will do the necessary check-in with the city prior to starting any work and secure necessary permits. This is one of those rare occasions where this never happened; and a large project was started and on its way to completion before the city stepped-in to take action. Staff hereby finds there may be enough unique circumstances (not created by the owners) in this variance case to warrant support or allowance of this variance,which would allow the homeowners the ability to keep the attached garage and detached garage structures together; and also gives some added weight to supporting the practical difficulties arguments previously noted. 3. The variance,if granted will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood. Applicant's Response: No- • The existing detached garage at the bottom of a sloped driveway in the back has been therefor more than 15 years,It's been part of the neighborhood forever,and since it's tucked away,some new neighbors don't even know it's there. • The new attached garage was a conversion from a living room. It is exactly where the old living room was, but now creates a more consistent attached car garage look all other neighbors on the street have and blends well with the beautiful and clean neighborhood with a mix of old and new homes. Staffs Response: The surrounding neighborhood is all but residential in character,and is not expected to see or experience any major changes in the foreseeable future. This new home addition represents a considerable investment by the Applicant to provide adequate and needed living space with the older Planning Case 2022-01(E.Mason-Variance-693 Mulberry Ln.) Page 5 of 12 page 105 home. The Applicant is not expanding the overall footprint of the home, and is simply adding a small and tasteful living space above the new attached garage. Staff made a site inspection of the subject property, and immediately noticed that two neighboring properties (697 and 679 Mulberry Lane)both have attached garages and detached garage structures on their properties, and also discovered a third property at 674 Mulberry (see circled properties — image/below). Subject Property 6 9 Mulberry 697 Mulberry 693 Mulberry Lane 864-sf attached+ 528-s1.attached+ 368-sf.detached 308-sT detached �m 'I 874 Mulberry 572-sf.attached+ 576-sf.detached ri Staff could not find any record of a variance(s)given to these three properties;and it may be reasonable to assume these structures may have been permitted under former accessory structure standards or allowances. Nevertheless, it remains Staffs' opinion that the essential character of the neighborhood would not be altered by the granting this variance. 4. Restrictions on Granting Variances. The following restrictions should be considered when reviewing a variance: a) Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties. When weighing the economic factor(s) of a variance application, taking economic considerations alone should not be the only reason for denying -or even approving a variance. In this particular case,the property owner is simply requesting to add living space and reconvert a garage space back to its original home design, in order to better fit their personal needs and safety. The current addition as it exists today(and if completed) does not impact any neighboring properties. Although one can conclude this new and larger residential structure will provide some economic value to the owner by increasing the property value of the home and/or marketability(future sale), the Applicant has demonstrated other practical difficulties in this case, and some reasonable explanations for requesting this variance. It is not clear how economic considerations alone may affect the outcome of this variance request,as they do not appear to be the sole reason for rejecting this variance. b) Variances are only to be permitted when they are in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the zoning ordinance and consistent with the comprehensive plan. Planning Case 2022-01(E.Mason-Variance-693 Mulberry Ln.) Page 6 of 12 page 106 Staff finds that the request is in harmony with the purposes and intent of the R-1 One Family Residence district, as this proposed home addition (and porch) is consistent with and allowed as a permitted use in the underlying zoning. The R-1 districts are most predominant throughout the community,and this district is intended to maintain the character of even older neighborhoods,like the North End in the community. The subj ect property is designated as LR-Low Density Residential in the current 2040 Plan. Certain land use goals and policies are noted below: • Land Use Goal #2: Preserve, protect, and enrich the mature, fully developed residential neighborhoods and character of the community. o Land Use Policy #2: The city will emphasize quality design, innovative solutions, and general focus on aesthetics throughout the community, including within existing developments and buildings. o Land Use Policy #6: A mechanism will be developed to allow for the maintenance and reinvestment in identified non-conforming properties • Housing Goal#1: Preserve and improve existing neighborhoods and housing units. o Housing Policy#2:Explore options for flexibility in Zoning Code standards and encourage reinvestment in existing houses o Housing Policy#3. Provide for housing development that maintains the attractiveness and distinct neighborhood characteristics in the community. o Housing Policy#4. Support the maintenance and rehabilitation of the community's existing housing stock. Other guiding principles in the comprehensive plan provide for maintaining, preserving, and enhancing existing single-family neighborhoods. The requested variance still preserves the residential character of the neighborhood, and would provide a substantial investment into a property to enhance its overall use and enjoyment by the owner. Alternatives to this variance require the homeowner to either choose to keep the detached garage intact,remove the overhead garage door to the newly converted attached garage space,wall up the opening, and convert this area back to living space; or keep the new attached garage work as it exists today, and completely remove the detached garage in the rear yard. The detached garage is in very nice shape, and it does not seem reasonable to demand the owners demolish a fully functioning garage structure—even under these unique circumstances. The proposed addition creates no additional impacts or poses any threats on light and air, as well as the danger offire and the risk to public safety. This new home addition and request for variance can be viewed or considered in harmony with the general purpose of the zoning ordinance and consistent with the current and proposed land use plans for the community. ALTERNATIVES for ACTION 1. Recommend approval of the variance for 693 Mulberry Lane, based on the following findings- of-fact that support the granting of the variance as requested herein and noted as follows: A. Under Title 12-1L-5A of the City Code,the Council may grant variances from the strict application of the provisions of the Code in cases where there are "practical difficulties" in carrying out the strict letter of the regulations of the Code. "Practical difficulties" consists of a three-part test: (i) the Applicant proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not otherwise permitted by the Code; (ii)the plight of the Applicant is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by Planning Case 2022-01(E.Mason-Variance-693 Mulberry Ln.) Page 7 of 12 page 107 the Applicant; and (iii) the variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood. Economic considerations alone do not constitute "practical difficulties." B. The Applicant has met the burden of demonstrating the requisite "practical difficulties"in order to justify the granting of the Variance for a reduced setbacks by the following supporting statements: i.) the newly converted attached garage is viewed consistent with other homes and properties throughout the surrounding neighborhood, and the overall use and enjoyment of the home and property does not change even with the variance to allow the attached garage structure with the existing detached garage structure in the back yard, and therefore the requested variance is considered a reasonable request. ii.) unique circumstances related to this special variance case were created by irresponsible and dishonest actions by others, and not the Applicant/Owners. The attached garage structure is a desirable and reasonable feature on many other single-family homes throughout a community; and this alternative to keeping an almost complete garage addition along with the existing detached garage structure on the subject property is reasonable and can only be accommodated by approval of this variance. iii.)approving the Variance does not change the essential character of the neighborhood, as this is a very modest addition and does not change the overall appearance or development of the property. There appears to be other properties in this neighborhood with similar attached/detached garage characteristics, so approving this variance should not negatively impact or affect this neighborhood; and iv.) allowing this new garage addition and detached garage intact on the subject property by means of this variance can be considered in harmony with the general purpose of the zoning ordinance and consistent with the current and proposed land use plans, goals and policy statements contained in the 2040 Comprehensive Plans of the community. C. The City has considered the factors required by Title 12-1L-5.E.1 of the City Code, including but not limited to the effect of the Variance upon the health, safety, and welfare of the community, existing and anticipated traffic conditions,the effect of the Variance on the danger of fire and the risk to public safety, and upon the value of properties in the surrounding area, and upon the Comprehensive Plan,and has determined this Variance will not impact or pose any negative threats upon the neighborhood or the community in general. D. Approval of the Variance is for 693 Mulberry Lane only, and does not apply or give precedential value to any other properties throughout the City. All variance applicants must apply for and provide a project narrative to the City to justify a variance. All variance requests must be reviewed independently by city staff and legal counsel under the requirements of the City Code. E. The factual findings and analysis found in the Planning Staff Report for Planning Case No. 2022- 01,dated and presented January 25,2022(on file with the City of Mendota Heights),is hereby fully incorporated into Resolution No. 2021- . final number to be assigned later) F. The City has the authority to place reasonable conditions upon the property subject to this variance request. Conditions must be directly related to and roughly proportional to the impact created by the variance. Conditions related to this transaction are as follows: 1) The Applicant/Owner and/or their contractor(s) will ensure that all construction work already completed and any additional work on the property will be approved by a new building permit submitted to the city,with final approval and authorization granted by the City Building Official and Community Development Director. Planning Case 2022-01(E.Mason-Variance-693 Mulberry Ln.) Page 8 of 12 page 108 2) The proposed garage space and residential addition and all other related improvements shall be constructed in compliance with all applicable City Code and State of Minnesota Building Code standards. 3) Should this variance be granted, the detached garage structure in the rear yard shall be considered a non-conforming structure, and subject to the requirements and standards of City Code Section 12-1D-1: Nonconforming Uses, Structures and Land. 4) Approval of the variance is contingent upon City Council approval of the application and corresponding site plan. If the variance is approved by the City Council, the Applicant shall obtain a building permit for construction of the proposed addition within one (1)year from said approval date. 2. Recommend denial of the variance request for 693 Mulberry lane,based on the findings-of-fact that confirm the Applicant failed to meet the burden(s) of proof or standards in granting of the variance requested herein,noted as follows: A. Under Title 12-IL-5A of the City Code, the Council may only grant variances from the strict application of the provisions of the Code in cases where there are"practical difficulties"in carrying out the strict letter of the regulations of the Code. "Practical difficulties" consists of a three-part test: (i)the Applicant proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not otherwise permitted by the Code; (ii) the plight of the Applicant is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the Applicant; and (iii)the variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood. Economic considerations alone do not constitute "practical difficulties." B. The Applicant has not met the burden of demonstrating the requisite"practical difficulties"in order to justify the granting of a variance to allow the attached garage with the existing detached garage due to lot size limitations. The proposed attached garage contemplated under this application is determined not to be essential to the overall enjoyment and continued use of the property; and therefore this variance is not considered a reasonable request on the property; and furthermore the applicant failed to adequately justify the need for granting this variance. C. Because the City finds that the first prong of the three-part test(reasonable use of the property) is not met by the Applicant,the City need not consider the remaining two prongs of the test(unique circumstances of the property and essential character of the neighborhood). 3. Table the request and direct staff to extend the application review period an additional 60 days, in compliance with MN STAT. 15.99. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Planning Commission give careful consideration to Alternative No. 1, approval of the variance with findings-of-facts to support the granting of said variance to 693 Mulberry Lane, with the conditions noted therein.

It has turned out the slope is too steep for us to drive on during the winter months. We had to park in front of our house. • As we get older, it's becoming increasingly important for us to have a functional garage so we can park our cars inside during the winter months. Brief Chain of Events —tackle the project to convert the current living room back to the gatage • June 2021, we saved enough money over the years and finally hired a general contractor/ builder for remodeling, converting the current living room back to a garage, and adding an addition on top so we don't lose the living space. The project also included a kitchen remodel. • September 2021, the project started. • November 2021 found out our builder Earl Rode IV never pulled the permit as he told us he would according to the contract, and the inspections he claimed he scheduled or the inspection passing he shared with us was all just his fabrication. There was no record of the permit being pulled or inspections being scheduled. The City Inspector put a Stop Order at the house to prevent him from performing additional work. We terminated our contract with Earl when that happened. • Since October 2021, no kitchen. House not sealed so it's very cold. We have paid Earl a total of $86,400 as we trusted him when he asked for various Cash Advances. We have now discovered many issues of the work performed that need to be fixed. For example, entire electrical and HVAC systems need to be redone, numerous framing issues etc. The most recent discovery is that he bought the wrong windows as many of them don't have nail flanges so no siding can be installed. He never ordered any new windows as he told us he would. Instead, he simply picked up what's on the floor at Lowe's, the cheapest thing he could find. It's a complete nightmare. • On 1212112021, we found out from Tim Benetti, that we need to submit a Variance application to keep the existing detached garage in the back since we now have an attached garage in the front which we can't use currently as there is a big hole in front and it's full of construction materials • We will be pursuing legal actions against Earl and his company. This is not the transition to retirement we had planned. We wish no one else will ever have to experience what we are going through. • We are back to the very beginning of the project, hiring a new project consultant/contractor, getting a new engineering plan, and submitting the application for the building permit. We ask for your understanding of the dilemma and difficulty we are in. We thought the permit was handled by the contractor Earl and all appropriate rules were checked by him as well. We are currently using the detached garage as a storage for a lot of the construction leftover, and the kitchen cabinets that were delivered way too early to the house. They shouldn't be stored in a cold garage, but we don't have other good options. Need the new attached garage as a working zone. As I am writing this letter, it's 4 days from Christmas. It's freezing in half of the house, no kitchen and construction junk/garbage everywhere. page114 1. Are there any practical difficulties that help support the granting of this variance? Yes • We all know the benefits of having an attached garage, especially during MN winter for older people. The sloped driveway to the detached garage in the back is unusable to function as a garage during the MN winter months. • As we get older and move towards retirement, its difficult to walk down there, get the snow blower to plow snow all the way up, then plow the driveway in the front • It's more difficult to plow snow around the cars parked in front too. • We have always used the detached garage for storage during the winter, something we have relied heavily on ever since we bought the house. • These days with so much construction materials, leftovers and the kitchen cabinets that got delivered way too early, along with our own stored items, the entire detached garage is packed full. • With the on-going pandemic, the increasing list of to dos from the horrendous construction mess and significant time commitment needed, we have not been feeling the greatest either.

Ms. Mason is seeking an allowance to keep a newly constructed 20' x 24' (480 sq. ft.) attached garage with an existing 720 sq. ft. detached garage in the R-1 One Family Residential District. Hearing notices were published and mailed to all properties within 350-ft. of the site;the applicant provided a list of adjacent homeowners who support his variance request, and no other comments or objections were received. Community Development Director Tim Benetti provided a planning staff report and a presentation on this planning item to the Commission (which is available for viewing through the City's website). Staff recommended approval of this application based on the findings and with conditions. Commissioner Katz asked if the variance were approved and the detached garage were to remain, would that variance carry forward to the next homeowner. Community Development Director Tim Benetti confirmed that if approved, the variance would run with the property. He stated that in the future, if the garage were removed, the right to have the detached garage would be removed as well. He noted that repairs to siding or the roof would be allowed but if the structure were damaged and needed to be rebuilt, a new variance would need to be requested. Commissioner Katz asked if the driveway to the detached garage would be under the variance as well. Community Development Director Tim Benetti explained that the existing driveway is an existing nonconforming attribute to the garage. He stated that staff will speak with the property owner to work with the neighbor, as the driveway does appear to encroach on the property line. He noted that is a civil matter that will need to be worked out between the property owners and reviewed some possible solutions the property owners could agree to. He clarified that the driveway is not part of this request as it has existed for over 30 years. Chair Field commented that it is a private land use manner that is not within the purview of the Commission. Commissioner Corbett asked if this size of accessory structure would require a ten-foot setback. page 121 Community Development Director Tim Benetti commented that a ten-foot setback or half the height of the home would be required for the garage side setback. He commented that currently the detached garage is about five feet from the side and back property lines. Commissioner Corbett commented that the structure would be nonconforming based on recent updates to the City Code. He asked if variances for the setbacks would also be required. Community Development Director Tim Benetti replied that would not be necessary. Commissioner Petschel clarified that the variance request is for the attached garage currently under construction as the detached garage was already existing. Commissioner Johnson stated that if the variance is approved, the setback would become part of the nonconforming status of the existing garage. Chair Field commented that if the attached garage were converted to living space, there would be no discussion on this matter. He stated that the detached garage is already legal nonconforming. Community Development Director Tim Benetti commented that if a legal nonconforming structure is damaged more than 50 percent and reconstructed, it would need to be built to meet the current standards. Commissioner Lorberbaum asked if the detached garage could not be called an accessory structure because of the size. She asked if a Conditional Use Permit could be issued calling the detached garage an accessory structure if the garage door were replaced with a regular door. Community Development Director Tim Benetti commented that the detached garage is considered an accessory structure. He provided additional details on the lot size thresholds for an accessory structure of this size. Commissioner Lorberbaum commented that the detached garage is being used for storage and asked if it would be legal to require the detached garage to be removed within a set time period once the home and attached garage are completed. Community Development Director Tim Benetti stated that when conditions are placed on an application, especially a variance, they have to be proportional. He did not recommend a sunset or temporary allowance. He stated that the applicant would like to keep the detached garage and attached garage. He stated that the Commission should provide a recommendation on that request. Commissioner Lorberbaum stated that it is her understanding that the detached garage space is needed at this time but may not be needed once constriction is completed. Community Development Director Tim Benetti commented that the applicant would like to keep both structures. He stated that the detached garage is in good shape, and he did not see a reason it should be removed and would like to provide the applicant the ability to keep that structure. page 122 Chair Field opened the public hearing. Elle Mason, applicant, stated that she would like to have a functional garage to use during the winter. She stated that she purchased the home four years ago without realizing the steepness of the driveway and commented that as they become older, it is getting harder to snow blow the steep driveway to the detached garage. She stated that they trusted an honest looking young man to assist in their remodel but in the end that contractor did not pull a permit or has the required inspections completed. She commented that she currently has a lawsuit with the contractor who has also been sued three times recently and is also under investigation by the State. She commented on the difficulties of stopping construction at this time of year. She provided details on the additional expense that this lawsuit has caused them along with the practical difficulties in their home. She stated that she is having trouble finding a licensed contractor that would like to take on this job to complete. She commented that she loves her neighborhood and her neighbors, and they have all been supportive. She stated that if she would have known the requirement for a variance, she may have chosen a different option such as moving to a new home. She thanked the Commission for its consideration. Chair Field expressed sympathy for what the applicant is going through. Commissioner Johnson asked if there is anything that could have helped the applicant in terms of communication or knowing what would have been required. Ms. Mason stated that perhaps written communication that could be shared with the neighbors would be helpful. She stated that if this story could be shared it could perhaps prevent others from getting into the same situation. She noted that she was not aware of the resources available to check the validity of a contractor's license. Gerald Rigdon commented that he is Ms. Mason's partner and has been with her for the past seven years. He commented that the contractor had a great website with great testimonials and came to their house with other contractors that had experience working with the contractor, therefore they had trust and faith that he would do the job. He stated that they became suspicious when the contractor stated that inspections would be done through Zoom and that is when they reached out to City staff to determine that permits have not been pulled. He stated that they have been living in the basement since October and do not have a functioning kitchen. He asked for the variance based on the context of the situation. He stated that if they would have known in advance that this was not allowed,they would have chosen a different option. He commented that they believed the proper approvals were gained through permitting. Chair Field asked if the detached garage is a component of their long-term plan. Mr. Rigdon commented that they store pool supplies and outdoor furniture in the detached garage. He noted that the slope prevents them from using the garage for vehicles during the winter months. Seeing no one further coming forward wishing to speak, Chair Field asked for a motion to close the public hearing. page123 COMMISSIONER PETSCHEL MOVED, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER JOHNSON, TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. AYES: 7 NAYS: 0 Community Development Director Tim Benetti stated that this is a rare occasion, and he feels bad for the property owners. He stated that 99.9 percent of the time all contractors pulling permits are licensed through the State and understand if they mess that up,they cannot do work anymore. He stated that this contractor did the work without a permit and now has legal action pending. He stated that this is a case where work began, and staff had to stop the work to determine what could be done to help the homeowner. Chair Field asked if there is any legitimate way the application could be stalled until the work is done. He commented that in the past there have been instances where the Commission recommended denial and then let the case go the Council for the Council to make the exception. Community Development Director Tim Benetti commented that a stop work order has been issued, therefore no work can be done until this issue is resolved. He stated that granting the variance would issue the release of the permit that is ready to go. He believed the applicant has a contractor that is ready to fix and complete the work needed for the home once the permit is issued. COMMISSIONER CORBETT MOVED, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER PETSCHEL, TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE VARIANCE FOR PLANNING CASE 2022-01 BASED ON THE PRACTICAL DIFFICULTY THAT THE PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF THE LAND MAKE THE DETACHED GARAGE UNUSABLE. FURTHER DISCUSSION: COMMISSIONER PETSCHEL COMMENTED THAT THIS WOULD BE NO DIFFERENT THAN IF THE PREVIOUS BUILDER OR OWNER DID WORK THAT WAS NONCONFORMING. HE STATED THAT THE APPLICANTS ARE ON A RIDE THEY DID NOT CHOOSE TO GET ON, WHICH IS SIMILAR TO PEOPLE THAT PURCHASE A HOME AND ARE UNAWARE OF THE RULES THAT CONSTRICT THE PROPERTY. HE STATED THAT THE PROPERTY OWNERS CONTACTED THE CITY TO ASK IF THERE WAS A VALID PERMIT AND DID NOT WAIT FOR THE CITY TO CONTACT THEM, WHICH SHOWS THAT THEY ARE CONCERNED WITH CONFORMING TO CITY CODE. COMMISSIONER JOHNSON STATED THAT SHE AGREES THAT THIS IS UNIQUE TO THE PROPERTY AND NOT CREATED BY THE PROPERTY OWNER. SHE AGREED WITH THE UN-USABILITY OF THE GARAGE AND THAT IT CAUSES AN ISSUE. SHE STATED THAT SHE DOES HAVE CONCERN WITH THE FIVE-FOOT SETBACK AND IMPERVIOUS SURFACE BUT REALIZED THAT IS NOT PART OF THE DISCUSSION. COMMISSIONER LORBERBAUM AGREED THAT THERE IS A PRACTICAL DIFFICULTY RELATED TO THE SLOPE OF THE PROPERTY THAT IS NOT OF THE page 124 MAKING OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS. SHE ALSO AGREED THAT THIS WOULD NOT ALTER THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. AYES: 6 NAYS: 1 (Katz) Chair Field advised the City Council would consider this application at its February 2, 2021 or February 15, 2021 meeting. 8c. 1101 Victoria Curve I Mendota Heights,MN 55118 651.452.1850 phone 1 651.452.8940 fax www.mendota-heights.com CITY OF MENDDTA HEIGHTS Request for City Council Action DATE: February 2,2022 TO: Mayor Levine and City Council FROM: Cheryl Jacobson, City Administrator Tim Benetti, Community Development Director SUBJECT: Planning Case No.2021-13 (Phase III/Lot 7) CUP Amendment to Mendota Plaza Planned Unit Development At Home Apartments,LLC INTRODUCTION The City Council is asked to consider a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) authorizing an amendment to the Mendota Plaza PUD of 2009. At Home Apartments,LLC is seeking this amendment in order to provide a new 79-unit apartment building on Lot 7 of the mall development. BACKGROUND At Home Apartments, LLC (the "Applicant") submitted plans for the development of 89 apartment units on Lot 7 of the Mendota Plaza MU-PUD(Planning Case 2021-13). At the August 24 and October 26,2021 meetings,the Planning Commission conducted two separate public hearings on the proposed development. After considerable discussion, the Planning Commission recommended to deny Planning Case 2021-13, with findings-of-fact. At the November 3, 2021 city council meeting, the proposal (along with Planning Case 2021-12) was presented to the city council for consideration. After lengthy discussion and public comment, the Council took action approving planning case 2021-12; however,due to the late hour,elected to postpone and table further discussion on Planning Case No. 2021-13 to the November 16,2021 City Council meeting. At the November 16, 2021 City Council meeting, the Applicant requested that the City Council table the vote on their Phase II1/89-unit apartment proposal (Planning Case 2021-13) to a meeting in January. Additionally, the Applicant provided a letter which requested a 60-day extension to the statutory review period deadline from December 25, 2021 to February 23, 2022. The City Council granted the tabling to the January 4, 2022 city council meeting; and the review period extension by unanimous vote and formed a council workgroup comprised of Councilors Duggan and Mazzitello to work with the applicant to discuss size and scope of the proposed Phase III apartment project. Prior to meeting with the applicant, a facilitated community conversation regarding the proposed development and the overall Mendota Plaza area was held on December 13, 2021. Approximately 40 residents were in attendance. Several suggestions for the At Home Apartments Phase III proposal and for the Mendota Plaza area were shared by the public. Some of the key issues included: building size, walkability of the site and throughout the Plaza area, additional green space of the site and throughout the Plaza area, and traffic flow in/out of and throughout the Plaza area. Councilors Duggan and Mazzitello met with Leanna Stefamak and Mike Cashill of At Home Apartments, Pete Keely of Collage Architects,Mike Sturdivant and Howard Paster of Paster Properties, and City staff on December 16,2021. The Councilors discussed the following suggestions with At Home Apartments as they related to their Phase III/Lot 7 proposal: 1. Provide for more green space by a)redistributing,reducing or eliminating (outdoor)parking; and b)moving the building to the east. 2. Establish setbacks from adjacent curb lines (rather than the property line) of 15-25 feet, with the clarification that the setback did not need to be the same all the way around the building. 3. Adjust building size by a)considering a 3-story building;b)reducing the number of units to a total closer to 60 units, and c) reducing the overall height of the building by removing the proposed fourth floor or"push"the building deeper in the ground. Councilors Mazzitello and Duggan noted the following exceptions during the discussion: 1. That suggestions and ideas for changes to the Mendota Plaza were being made separate from the At Home Apartments,LLC Phase III/Lot 7 application. Over the course of the public input process for the At Home Apartments housing proposals, residents and the City Council expressed a desire for: a) additional greenspace/community space within the [mall's] north parking area; b) additional native plantings, benches, walking paths and educational signage within the site, thus reducing hardscape; and c) improvements to traffic patterns and traffic flow. 2. The City has committed to studying, in partnership with MNDOT, Dakota County and residents, the larger resident complaint of traffic on Hwy. 62 and Hwy. 149/Dodd Road. A Traffic Solutions Committee will be established to review this issue. At the January 4,2022 city council meeting,an update was provided by City Administrator Jacobson. City Administrator Jacobson explained that the Applicant was not prepared to present their updated plans given the limited time available between the meeting on December 16 and the January 4 city council meeting. At its January 4, 2022 meeting, the City Council again tabled Planning Case 2021-13, to its meeting on February 2,2022 REVISED/UPDATED PLANS At Home Apartments has submitted revised/amended plans to which City Staff has deemed complete for purposes of City Council review. Materials include: a revised/amended plan set including updated civil (engineering) plans; landscape and plantings plans; architectural elevation images; floor plans; view perspective/vantage point image plans; and updated lighting plan. The developer has also submitted an Updated Project Narrative,Project Matrix handout that provides information on unit sizes,bedroom counts, and parking calculations; and also an updated Traffic Impact Analysis memo. The proposal includes the following revisions: 1) The building plan now identifies this as a modified 4-story apartment building, with 79-units; a reduction of 10 units from the original 89-units proposed in the first submittal. Although suggested by the city council workgroup to reduce the overall unit count to 60-units, the developer states in their narrative,that a reduction to 60-units, "...is not economically feasible for the project." The Developer adds: "...we determined that we could reduce the unit count by an additional 10 units without impacting the economic feasibility too severely. From where we originally started to what we are amending today, we have reduced the unit count by roughly 30%(or 34 units)." The Developer states that to lose or eliminate the fourth floor is also not economically feasible, however, they were able to pull or step-back portions of the fourth floor to provide some added articulation to the outer building mass and soften the transition (see elevation image —below). Their narrative states this was similar to what they did in the nearby The Reserve apartments. _ a The Developer has provided additional View Perspectives or visual images that show the elevations (heights)of some of the surrounding buildings in the mall and area; and includes visual impact images from neighboring residences to the south. The reduced unit count also provided the opportunity for the redesign of floor layouts and unit sizes, which remain as either 1-BR, 1-BR+ and 2-BR units. Unit sizes are as follows: Bedroom Size Square Foot Range Average Square Footage 1 Bedroom 710 to 775 sq. ft. 737 sq. ft. 1 Bedroom+ 800 to 880 sq. ft. 850 sq. ft. 2 Bedroom 1,024 to 1,300 sq.ft. 1,179 sq. ft. 2) The Developer has removed the 19-space outdoor parking lot that was originally shown with the previous 89-unit proposal,thus allowing the Developer to "shift" the building more to the east. This shift now provides the following changes to the Site Plan: a. 25-foot setback from the curb-line of the north/south private drive running between Lot 7& Gemini Medical, and a 50-ft.measured setback from the west lot line (Lot 7); b. 28-ft. setback from the curb line of South Plaza Drive (south edge) and approx. 15-ft. from the south lot line; c. 35-ft.setback from the curb-line of South Plaza Way(east)and approx.68-ft.from the east lot line; and d. 41-ft. setback from the curb-line of the shared driveway between the back-side of the mall and this Lot 7,with a 60-ft. setback from the north lot line. All tenant parking will be accommodated by the underground (interior) parking area. The lower/underground area consists of 73-stalls, while the first floor will provide 52 stalls, for a total of 125 interior spaces. This building shift also modified some of the existing surface parking spaces currently situated along the north side of Lot 7 (south edge of the back driveway), where the 89-unit had 26 spaces available, they are now proposing 21 spaces. These spaces are intended to be used primarily for visitors to the apartment building. The total amount of parking (inside and outside) available for the apartment use and on this Lot 7 alone, is 146 spaces. From that amount, the Unit/Spaces is calculated as 1.85 Spaces/Unit,or 1.39 Spaces/BR. 3) The developer indicated a request was made to push or reduce the building down by 1-foot; and they have stated in their narrative that due to the shift of the building to the east,this has produced a reduction in height by 4-feet from the original building plans. The overall building height now measures(top of subfloor to top of roofline) at 44-feet. 4) Due to the shift of the building and elimination of the outdoor parking space along the east side, the developer is proposing additional greenspace and open space with the following: a. A small trapezoidal shaped "pocket park" has been included near the northeast corner of the apartment building. Although City Code does not define or specifically identify such parks, they are generally defined as: "A very small park or outdoor area .for _ public leisure, especially an urban plaza or courtyardwith benches andfountains." (see image—right). This pocket park is intended not only for the apartment tenants,but will be left open and available for the use and enjoyment by the general public. b. The plans include a new"Dog Run"or pet park along the north side of the building. This area will be reserved for tenants only. c. All other areas that were opened up or made available by the reduction of the building footprint and shift will be made available for new landscaping treatment throughout the site. The updated landscape and plantings plans were submitted to the city's Natural Resources Technician for review, and were found to be complete and in conformance with the city's preferred native plantings and pollinator friendly policies. 5) The Developers have provided an Updated Traffic-Related Performance memo from Biko Associates, which reflects the changes made under these plans (89-units down to 79-units). The levels of Daily Trips (DT's) produced by vehicles leaving or entering from this 79-unit apartment development are reduced by 28 trips from the previous 89-unit plan; and this reduction is carried over across the AM/PM Peak Hour movements. The report also reflects a significant reduction in DT's when compared to a Childcare Center(originally planned for Lot 7 under the 2009 PUD) vs. the 79-unit apartment building. The report includes a comparison of a Childcare plus the Phase I1/58-Unit site with 796 DT's vs. the Phase II/58-Unit plus Phase III/79-Unit with an combined 7242 DT's. The report concludes that even with the original 10.3%uptick in traffic to the daily Dodd Road (Hwy. 149)system's numbers,the new scenario with Phase II and III combined shows a slight reduction down to 9.6%; and completes the analysis with the following: "The additional volume of daily traffic from either Scenario 1 or Scenario 2 is not significant and does not represent any substantial change in the daily traffic volume on Dodd Road. Neither a 10.3 percent increase in daily traffic nor a 9.6 percent increase in daily traffic is a significant change, at this particular location. However, if there is a concern that the Mendota Lot 7 parcel should be developed with a use that generates the least daily traffic volume,Scenario 2 should be the preferred alternative." The Applicant is proposing a construction timeline for this project of 10-12 months. Construction would not begin until after a Certificate of Occupancy was received for the At Home Apartments Phase II development approved under Resolution 2021-92. An anticipated opening date for Phase III is spring, 2024. Attachments 1) Exhibit-A Findings-of-Facts for Approval of Planning Case No. 2021-13 2) Exhibit B Findings-of-Facts for Denial of Planning Case No. 2021-13 3) Updated Narrative on Planning Case No. 2021-13 from At Home Apartments(dated 01/25/2022) 4) Updated Traffic Impact Memo from Biko Associates(dated 01/21/2022) 5) Updated Development Matrix—Lot 7(dated 01/27/2022) 6) Updated Civil Plans, Site Plans,Landscape Plans,Architectural Elevation Plans,Lighting Plans ACTION REQUESTED The City Council should review the revised plans and updated materials submitted by the Applicant and discuss the requests in this case. The City Council may consider one of the following: I. A motion to APPROVE the Conditional Use Permit authorizing an amendment to the 2009 Mendota Plaza PUD, as requested under Planning Case No. 2021-13, and which approval would allow the development of the proposed 79-unit apartment building (Phase III) as presented herein; -or- 2. A motion to DENY the Conditional Use Permit authorizing an amendment to the 2009 Mendota Plaza PUD, as requested under Planning Case No. 2021-13; -and- Whereupon the approved Motion, direct staff and the City Attorney to prepare a final list of findings-of- fact related to the decision rendered, which will then be brought before the City Council for final consideration under a separate resolution at the February 15,2022 regular city council meeting. The City Council must act on this case by the February 23 deadline. This matter requires a simple majority vote. EXHIBIT-A FINDINGS-OF-FACT FOR APPROVAL PLANNING CASE NO.2021-13/PHASE III/79-UNIT APARTMENT CUP for PUD AMENDMENT Lot 7,Block 1,Mendota Plaza Expansion Addition The following findings-of-fact are made in support of approval of the PUD Amendment to allow the development of Lot 7, Block 1, Mendota Plaza Expansion Addition with a new 79-Unit Apartment development: I. The proposed amendment to the 2009 Mendota Plaza Planned Unit Development Final Development Plan is consistent with the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. hi particular,the Project is consistent with the City's goal to provide a range of housing options to enhance the opportunity for people of all generations and in all stages of life to reside in the City of Mendota Heights.Currently,the City contains mostly high-end and mid-range valued single-family homes. This Project provides much needed multi- family housing stock, consistent with the stated goal of the Comprehensive Plan. The Project is designed to attract young professionals by providing more affordable units with smaller square footage and high-end amenities,but it will be accessible to people of all generations. 2. The Project enhances the City's stated goal in the Comprehensive Plan of sustainability. The Project promotes sustainability and resilience by utilizing design features such as a solar ray on roof,low flow toilets, slower showerheads, and single-metered water for each residential unit to encourage conscientious use of water. The Project includes energy-efficient appliances, poured concrete, and adequate insulation. The parking is contained within the envelope of the building to reduce the impervious surface of the apartment building and grounds. The Project provides for green space and landscaping to include native trees and plantings and pollinator friendly landscaping throughout the site. The number of trees proposed for this Project is sufficient for the site. 3. The proposed amendment to the 2009 Mendota Plaza Planned Unit Development Final Development Plan is consistent with the applicable City Code requirements for such a development. 4. The Project complies with the allowable density range of 21 —30 units/acre as permitted for new MU- PUD(Mixed-Use-Planned Unit Development)land uses. This is consistent with the density for a MU- Mixed Use land category in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. The City Council specifically adopts the density calculation as presented in the Planning Report (Supplemental) dated August 24, 2021, presented to the Planning Commission and fully incorporated into this Resolution. 5. The Project will be an effective and unified treatment of the existing development within the established PUD, and incorporates new pedestrian walkways and connections in and around the Project site, and provides for a pocket park on the Project site for the use and enjoyment of the public. 6. Financing for this proposed development is available and will be provided to the developer with certain conditions between the developer and their lender, and in an amount sufficient to assure completion of the proposed apartment development, which will contribute to the completion of the overall planned unit development in this MU-PUD area. 7. The Project utilizes the flexibility of the planned unit development and other zoning standards to enhance the development of the property, without negatively impacting surrounding land uses and natural resources. 8. The design of the Project provides reasonable building and parking lot setbacks and a reasonable number of parking stalls. In particular, the Project provides 125 enclosed stalls along with 21 surface parking spaces, for a total of 146 spaces. This provides a ratio of 1.85 parking spaces/unit. For comparison, the R-3 District requires a minimum of 2.5 parking spaces for each dwelling unit,which would amount to 198 spaces for this Project,if that standard were applicable. Requiring 198 spaces for this Project would be excessive considering the newer multi-family residential development needs throughout the metro area and the nation. 9. The reduced building and parking setbacks, smaller unit sizes,reduced land area, and overall density of this development does not pose any threat to the general health,safety and welfare of the surrounding properties,nor diminishes the usefulness of the planned development of this property. 10. The reduced parking ratio should be supported due to the strong desire to reserve or encourage more open space on this site; and help reduce any hard surface impacts that additional parking would require. 11. The Project is not excessive compared to the originally planned development for the site which is located proximate to roads with substantial capability to accommodate traffic generated by the Project. Based upon the traffic analysis prepared for this application, the proposed development will generate fewer vehicle trips or daily traffic entering/leaving this area than the commercial development previously proposed for this PUD. This 79-unit apartment building is estimated to increase traffic 428 vehicles on Dodd Road. This increase in traffic is minimal and will not adversely affect public safety or the general welfare. In addition,this Project adequately provides sidewalks to enhance walkability for future residents of the 79-unit apartment building to encourage residents to access nearby retail and commercial areas on foot. 12. Construction of the proposed high-density residential development will contribute to a significant amount of the Metropolitan Council's Year 2040 forecasted population and household increases. 13. The Project can and has been planned and is proposed to be developed to harmonize with adjacent projects or proposals. The Project enhances the 2009 Mendota Plaza Planned Unit Development Final Development Plan. The proposed apartment development use would be in character with other surrounding uses in this mixed-use commercial and high density residential project area, and the new residents projected for this site will help support and contribute to the economic sustainability of the surrounding retail and commercial uses. 14. The Sixth Amendment to the Planned Unit Development Agreement dated November 2016 provides that Section 3.2 is deleted in its entirety as it relates to the Mendota Plaza Expansion Second Addition, which includes this Project. Section 3.2 governed the timeframe in which the development must be completed. Since 3.2 was deleted in its entirety,there is currently no completion deadline in place,and accordingly, there is no timeframe limitation that prevents City Council from approving this Project. Furthermore,City Council has the authority to adjust the deadlines for development projects consistent with the City Code. 15. The factual findings and analysis found in the Planning Staff Report(Supplemental)for Planning Case No. 2021-13, dated August 24, 2021, prepared for the Planning Commission (on file with the City of Mendota Heights), is hereby fully incorporated into this Resolution, excluding the draft Findings of Fact for Denial and Approval, in which the final findings are hereby noted in this section of this Resolution. . 16. The factual findings and analysis found in the Planning Staff Report(Supplemental)for Planning Case No. 2021-12, dated October 26, 2021, (on file with the City of Mendota Heights), is hereby fully incorporated into this Resolution. 17. The City has the authority to place reasonable conditions upon the property subject to this land use request, including a deadline for completion of the Project. Conditions must be directly related to and roughly proportional to the impact created by the conditional use permit. These conditions are noted as follows: 1. The applicant shall draft appropriate amendments to the existing Development Agreement required by approval of the proposed project,to be reviewed and approved by the City Attorney and approved by the City Council. 2. Any new final building plan approved under this PUD Amendment shall be constructed only in conformance to the PUD Plans approved by the city council; and all approved building and site must be certified by a registered architect and engineers(as applicable); and in accordance with all architectural and building standards found under Title 12-1E-8, Subpart F "Architectural Controls"and Subpart G—Structural,Electrical and Mechanical Requirements. 3. Any drainage and utility easement or any other easements that may be impacted by the physical placement of the new apartment structure or other improvements must be vacated and re- established/dedicated as necessary,per the direction of the Public Works Director. 4. All new signage must comply with the sign standards in the Mendota Heights Plaza PUD Agreement. 5. A park dedication fee of $4,000/residential unit shall be paid at time of building permit approval. 6. Rooftop mechanical units shall be of a low profile variety. All ground-level and rooftop mechanical utilities,other than low profile rooftop units,shall be completely screened with one or more of the materials used in the construction of the principal structure,to be reviewed by the Planning Department and verified as part of the building permit review process. 7. All new trees and plant material shall be designed to comply with the city's pollinator friendly and native plantings policy; all landscaped areas shall be irrigated; and plants used to provide an effective screening element for building utility areas. 8. A performance bond or letter of credit shall be supplied by the applicant in an amount equal to at least one and one-half (11/2) times the value of such screening, landscaping, or other improvements,to be included as part of the Development Agreement. 9. The owner,tenant and their respective agents shall be jointly and severally responsible for the maintenance of all landscaping in a condition presenting a healthy,neat and orderly appearance and free from refuse and debris. Plants and ground cover which are required by an approved site or landscape plan and which have died shall be replaced as soon as seasonal or weather conditions allow. 10. The proposed water system shall be designed and constructed to Saint Paul Regional Water Service (SPRWS) standards. 11. All grading and construction activities as part of the proposed development shall be in compliance with applicable federal, state, and local regulations and codes, as well as in compliance with the City's Land Disturbance Guidance Document. 12. Building and grading permits shall be obtained from the City prior to commencement of any construction. 13. All applicable fire and building codes, as adopted/amended by the City, shall apply and the buildings shall be fully-protected by an automatic fire sprinkler system and other fire safety measures or improvements as determined by the city's Fire Marshal and/or Building Official. EXHIBIT-B FINDINGS-OF-FACT FOR DENIAL PLANNING CASE NO.2021-13 PHASE III/79-UNIT APARTMENT CUP for PUD AMENDMENT Lot 7,Block 1,Mendota Plaza Expansion Addition The following findings-of-facts are made in support of denial of the PUD Amendment: 1. The 79-unit apartment development proposed for the subject site is determined to be excessive than what was originally planned or scheduled for this site, and is therefore inconsistent with the original intent and purpose of the 2009 Planned Unit Development Final Development Plans. 2. The amount and number of reduced site design standards,including reduced building and parking lot setbacks, and reduced parking numbers requested under this PUD Amendment seem excessive and too numerous for this site, and are all considered inconsistent with typical City Code requirements and standards for similar high-density residential developments in the city. 3. The proposed development will not be an effective and unified treatment of the existing development within the PUD project area. 4. The proposed development is determined not to be a good fit for this site or area,is not well-planned or designed as an ideal development for this lot or area, and would not be in harmony with any existing or proposed development in the areas surrounding the project site. 5. The proposed apartment development poses a negative impact to the surrounding land uses,natural resources,vehicle traffic and nearby road systems. 6. The new high-density residential use would not be in character with other surrounding uses in this mixed-use commercial and high density residential project area. XPNI 134 at home APARTMENTS January 25, 2022 City of Mendota Heights 1101 Victoria Curve Mendota Heights, MN 55118 Attn: Mr. Tim Benetti Re: Updated At Home Apartments Planning Application &Conditional Use Permit for PUD Application—Lot 7 Dear Mr. Benetti, On behalf of At Home Apartments, L.L.C., we are pleased to provide you with this update to our application for Case Number 2021-13. As you are aware on November 16, 2021, our proposed development project for Lot 7 of the Mendota Plaza Mixed Use PUD (Case Number 2021-13) was presented to the City Council for review and consideration. During our presentation, we asked the City Council to table our application to a future date and requested the city's assistance in engaging the members of the community by hosting a public forum where residents of Mendota Heights could offer constructive and creative feedback regarding our proposed project. With this request the council elected to establish a task force/committee consisting of City staff and two council members (Council Member John Mazzitello and Council Member Ultan Duggan) to facilitate the public discussion and provide feedback to At Home Apartments as the applicant and Paster Properties as the current land owner. The city held a public forum/open house on December 13, 2021. Following that meeting the committee met with At Home Apartments and Paster Properties and presented us with a list of ideas and suggestions from the public forum. Below we have detailed the list of"asks" presented to us by the committee. A summary of how we have updated the project in response to those suggestions is also provided. I. Remove the surface parking lot. The surface parking lot has been deleted from our plan. By removing the surface parking lot we were able to provide more green space and additional outdoor amenities for our residents to enjoy. In removing the surface parking lot, we were able to pull the parking stalls into the building footprint resulting in more interior parking stalls.

By removing the surface parking lot we were able to move the building to the East which allowed for an expanded courtyard for the residents, the creation of a dog park, and the addition of a pocket park which could have a quasi-public function, just like the small park in front of the Reserve at Mendota Village. 3. Establish a setback that is 15' to 25' from the curb line. When we moved the building to the east we were able to create setbacks that are 25' to the curb line. This allowed us to create boulevard sidewalks throughout the site. 4. Push the building down by 1'. When we reconfigured the interior parking for the building it prompted us to examine how far we could push the building down in order to reduce the height of the building. This analysis resulted in us being able to push the building down 4' instead of 1'. 5. Reduce the unit count to 60 units. Reducing the unit count to 60 units is not economically feasible for the project. We are however able to reduce the unit count to 79 units. It is important to highlight that when we first submitted our application we had planned for 113 units. Hearing some of the initial reaction and before we made our presentation to the city council, we self-edited the unit count down to 89 units. After hearing additional feedback from the community we determined that we could reduce the unit count by an additional 10 units without impacting the economic feasibility too severely. From where we originally started to what we are amending today, we have reduced the unit count by roughly 30% (or 34 units). 6. Remove the entire fourth floor of the building. Again, it is not economically feasible to remove the entire fourth floor but we are able to pull or step back portions of the fourth floor to soften the transition. This was a similar compromise that we reached with the city in 2016 when we developed The Reserve at Mendota Village and we feel like it works for this project as well. With pulling the floor back and by pushing the building down 4', as previously mentioned, we did reduce the height of the building which ultimately is the real request. The updates described above allowed for other positive alterations as well. For example: 1. Less impervious surface. The current application has an impervious surface calculation of 75.7% on Lot 7. By adding the sidewalks throughout the site the impervious surface technically increased, but this was offset by removing the surface parking lot. By removing the surface parking lot, and even though we added 6' sidewalks throughout the side, we reduced the impervious surface for the site by 1.6%, bringing the total AtHomeApartments.com1289 Grand Avenue, St. Paul Minnesota55105651-225-8227 XPNI 136 at home APARTMENTS impervious calculation to 74.1% and 65.9% for the overall PUD (Note: the Mixed used PUD was approved to allow up to 75% of impervious surface though the PUD). 2. Increased Parking Ratio. With the reduction in unit count and the additional stalls within the building footprint we increased the parking ratio from to 1.84. This is the largest parking ratio of all the projects approved by the City of Mendota Heights over the last six years. 3. Unit Sizes. With the reduction of units, the remaining units became larger. The one- bedroom (1BR) units range from 710 SQFT to 775 SQFT with an average of 737 SQFT. The one-bedroom plus den (1BR+) units range from 800 SQFT to 880 SQFT with an average of 850 SQFT. The two-bedroom (2BR) units range from 1,024 SQFT to 1,300 SQFT with an average of 1,179 SQFT. 4. Reduced Trip Generation. By removing the additional ten (10) units the trip generation from this proposed development decreased. Removing the units reduced the trip generation by 56 daily trips or approximately 11%. The updated traffic memo is attached to this letter. 5. Green Space Percentage. By removing the surface parking lot, by moving the building to the east, and by creating the 25' setback we were able to increase the green space which is now 25.9% of the site. With these updates we hope we have continued to convey our commitment to working with the City and the community to deliver a housing community that we all can be proud of. We look forward to formally presenting these updates to the City Council on February 2, 2022.

The three performance characteristics are: • Trip generation comparison for an 89-unit apartment and a 79-unit apartment • Trip generation comparison for a 10,130 square foot childcare facility and a 79-unit apartment • Comparison of traffic circulation impacts 1. Trip Generation Comparison; 89 Dwelling Units versus 79 Dwelling Units: The critical difference between these two proposals, from a traffic perspective, is that the earlier proposal included 89 dwelling units and the current proposal includes 79 dwelling units. Table 1 below shows the impact of reducing the number of dwelling units by 10. As shown, the reduction in the number of dwelling units results in significant reductions in daily, AM peak hour and PM peak hour trips, especially over the course of an entire day where 56 fewer trips will be generated by reducing the number of dwelling units.

Trip Generation Comparison; 10,130 Square Foot Daycare versus 79 Dwelling Units: Table 2 presents the comparison between trips that will be generated by a 10,130 square foot daycare facility and a 79-unit apartment. As shown in Table 2, the 10,130 square foot daycare will generate substantially more trips than a 79-unit apartment. The most significant differences are forecast to occur during the AM and PM peak hours; the two most critical periods of the day where the highest concentrations of traffic are on the streets within a defined hour-long period of time.

Traffic Circulation Comparison; 10,130 Square Foot Daycare versus 79 Dwelling Units: This section of the memorandum compares the traffic circulation impacts of a 10,130 square foot daycare facility and a 79-unit apartment and focuses on the daily volume of traffic circulating on Dodd Road (TH 149) south of TH 62. The analysis that informed the comparison considered two development scenarios: Scenario 1--- Mendota Plaza Approved and Adopted Developments as of November 2021: • The 10,130 square foot daycare facility, which would generate 482 daily trips • The Mendota 2, 58-unit apartment where 314 daily trips would be generated • A total of 796 daily trips Scenario 2 --- Revised Proposal presented in January 2022: • The Mendota 2, 58-unit apartment, adopted in November 2022, where 314 daily trips would be generated • The updated Mendota Lot 7 development with 79-units, where 428 daily trips would be generated • A total of 742 daily trips page 139 Leanna Stefaniak January 21, 2022 Page 3 Table 3 shows daily trip generation for the two development scenarios. Table 3 Comparative Daily Trip Generation for Two Development Scenarios Alternative Development Scenario Daily Trip Generation Approved and Adopted for Mendota Plaza, as of November 2021: • 2008/2009 Approved and Adopted PUD (10,130 SF Childcare Facility) 482 • Phase 2 of the Reserve at Mendota Village (58-Unit Apartment) 314 • Total 796 Proposed in January 2022: • Adopted Phase 2 of the Reserve at Mendota Village (58-Unit 314 Apartment) • Proposed, updated Mendota Lot 7 (79-Unit Apartment) 428 • Total 742 Source: Biko Associates, Inc.,January 18, 2022. As shown in Table 3, the already-approved and adopted developments will generate 796 daily trips, and, by comparison, the adopted Phase 2 project and the currently proposed Mendota 7 proposal will generate 742 daily trips; 54 (7 percent) fewer daily trips. Most current two-way daily traffic: Figure 1, below, shows the most current, two-way daily traffic volumes in the vicinity of Mendota Plaza, on TH 62 and Dodd Road. With the exception of the traffic volume shown for the segment of Dodd Road that is north of TH 62, the illustrated daily traffic volumes are more current than those presented in the Mendota Heights 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update. . �• F " ,, �` Most Current Two-Way Annual Average Daily Traffic Volumes Ak 4 Collected,seasonally adjusted,and r, annualized by MnDOT 34000 *"�. 3000 0 `- �_ Figure 1: k A i { 4 rrau' k� 4 t page140 Leanna Stefaniak January 21, 2022 Page 4 Impact on existing daily traffic volumes: Were the daily trips identified in Table 3 to exit and enter the development site to and from Dodd Road, the Dodd Road traffic volume shown on Figure 1 would increase. Table 4 shows what the comparative increase would be for each of the two alternative development scenarios on Dodd Road, south of TH 62. Table 4 Comparative Daily Traffic Impact for Two Development Scenarios Alternative Most Current Daily Daily Trip Impact on Dodd Percent Above Development Traffic on Dodd Generation Road Daily Most Current Scenario Road Traffic Daily Traffic Scenario 1: 7,700 796 8,496 10.3% Scenario 2: 7,700 742 8,442 9.6% Source: Biko Associates, Inc.,January 18, 2022. The Scenario 1 development program, which is already approved and adopted, will result in a daily traffic volume of 8,496 vehicles on Dodd Road. By comparison, implementing the proposed, revised Mendota Lot 7 development, instead of the already approved and adopted daycare center, will result in 8,442 daily vehicles on Dodd Road. The additional volume of daily traffic from either Scenario 1 or Scenario 2 is not significant and does not represent any substantial change in the daily traffic volume on Dodd Road. Neither a 10.3 percent increase in daily traffic nor a 9.6 percent increase in daily traffic is a significant change, at this particular location. However, if there is a concern that the Mendota Lot 7 parcel should be developed with a use that generates the least daily traffic volume, Scenario 2 should be the preferred alternative. page 141 Updated Matrix—At Home Apartments—Lot 7_1.27.2022 UNIT TOTAL BY TOTAL BY AREA LL FIRST SECOND THIRD FOURTH UNIT TYPE AREA GROSS standard one br 41 737 average 710 3 3 6 4260 720 6 6 5 17 12240 730 1 1 1 3 2190 756 2 2 2 6 4536 775 3 3 3 9 6975 0 one br den 12 850 average 800 1 1 1 3 2400 859 2 2 2 6 5154 880 1 1 1 3 2640 0 0 two bedroom 26 1179 average 1024 1 1 1 3 3072 1043 1 1 1 3 3129 1058 1 1 1 3 3174 1105 1 1 2 2210 1228 1 2 2 5 6140 1280 4 4 5120 1300 1 21 2 21 1 6 7800 0 31 271 271 221 791 79 TOTAL 3828 23701 23701 19810 71040 71040 899 average TOTAL BEDROOMS 105 PARKING 27,869 20,105 47,974 47,974 RESID.

BACKGROUND Over the past several years, the City has made strides in growing its natural resources program. The development of a Natural Resources Commission in Mendota Heights has been discussed by the City Council over the past few years, with areas of interest focusing on supporting natural areas in the city, sustainability, and environmental and climate stewardship. The proposed Natural Resources Commission will serve in an advisory capacity to the City Council. The two charges for the commission within the Ordinance No. 572 are: 1. Advise the city council on matters pertaining to natural resources, sustainability, environmental and climate stewardship, and opportunities for the advancement of those areas including recommending policies and initiatives that enhance and preserve natural resources within Mendota Heights. 2. If requested by the city council,prepare plans for the acquisition, enhancement, or preservation of natural resources in the City of Mendota Heights. The Commission will be structured and function similarly to other city advisory commissions such as the Parks and Recreation Commission. The proposed Ordinance defines a seven-member commission where commissioners serve staggered three-year terms. As with the Parks and Recreation Commission, the Mayor and City Council may wish to establish a student representative seat on the Commission.
