The Council acknowledged a letter from Short/Elliott/Hendrickson on the status of the infiltration/inflow study, a letter from Leslie Johnson regarding the AMM/Metropolitan Council Conference on housing and the minutes of the August 25th Planning Commission meeting. Mayor Lockwood opened the meeting for the purpose of the contin- uation of a public hearing on an application from Mr. Robert Alvarez for the vacation of a portion of the Partition Road right-of-way. Mayor Lockwood reviewed discussion conducted at the hearing held on August 4th. He advised the audience that the hearing had been continued to allow input from the Ivy Falls Homeowners Association. Mr. Robert Alvarez, present in the audience, stated that he would like to construct a detached garage on his property and change his driveway to allow access from Ivy Hill Drive at some future date, and he cannot do so with- out the vacation of the Partition Road right-of-way. In response to a ques-Eion from Councilman Mertensotto, Mr. Alvarez stated that he currently owns three contiguous lots fronting on Dodd Road. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 Page 1530 September 1, 1981 Mayor Lockwood stated that there is no apparent objection to granting approval to the vacation application as long as there is no intent to try to split the lots in the future to create another building site. Councilman Losleben suggested that perhaps the vacation could be approved if the applicant agrees that there would be no future request for subdivision of his additional property. There being no further questions or comments from the audience, Councilman Losleben moved that the hearing be closed at 7:43 P.M. Councilwoman Witt seconded the motion. Councilman Mertensotto moved the adoption of Resolution No. 81-64, "RESOLUTION VACATING A PORTION OF PARTITION ROAD RIGHT-OF-WAY", approving the vacation of that part of the Partition Road right- of-way adjacent to Lot 9, Block 8, Kirchner Addition, on the condition that there be no future subdivision of Lots 9 and 10, Block 8. Councilman Hartmann seconded the motion. Councilman Mertensotto advised Mr. Alvarez that he will be required to apply for permits for driveway installation and garage con- struction at such time as he decides to construct a garage. HEARING: CASE NO. Mayor Lockwood opened the meeting for the purpose of a public 80-18, M.A.C. hearing on the proposed rezoning of property owned by the Metro- politan Airports Commission from its current residential zoning to proposed industrial use, along with approximately 2.4 acres of property owned by the Acacia Park Cemetery and platted for cemetery purposes. Mayor Lockwood turned the meeting over to Public Works Director Danielson for a description of the area and history of the rezoning request. Mr. Danielson stated that the property which is being considered for rezoning is located east of the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific railroad right-of-way, north of T.H. 13 (future), west of T.H. 55, and south of Acacia Park Cemetery. Mr. Danielson stated that the property for which the hearing is being conducted is currently owned by Metropolitan Airports Commission and was acquired for airport noise safety several years ago. He stated that the City has for a number of years been concerned about returning the property to the tax rolls. MAC has requested the rezoning in order to allow industrial uses compatible with the airport safety zones. He stated that the Acacia Park Cemetery property has been included because the current uses of the 2.4 acres, maintenance garage, caretaker building, and storage, is more consistent with industrial zoning than with its designated res- idential zoning. He advised the Council that since the public hear- ing held before the Planning Commission, the staff has been working with owners of private properties north of the MAC-propertir. who are concerned about noise problems and the residential zoning contiguous to the proposed Industrial zoning. Mr. Danielson advised the Council that the City has recently received a petition from the private property owners. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 FEDERAL REVENUE SHARING Page 1531 September 1, 1981 He noted that the Comprehensive Plan considers the residential area for future medium density use rather than industrial use. He briefly reviewed the City's tax increment financing program for the Council, particularly as it relates to the MAC area and surrounding areas. He noted that if the Council considers and approves the petition for rezoning from the private property owners, the Comprehensive Plan document will have to be amended. He advised the Council that the private property owners believe that they will not be helped by the rezoning of the MAC property to industrial, and that they would like to City to acquire their properties, clear and develop them under the tax increment financing plan. Councilman Mertensotto noted that while the acquisition of the development of the private properties is included in the tax increment financing plan, the properties were not included in the notice of hearing for rezoning: the petition therefore cannot be considered as part of this hearing. Councilman Losleben suggested the Council adopt the MAC site rezoning and order a hearing for discussion of the potential rezoning of the private properties. Councilman Mertensotto suggested that a study of the whole area should be made. Mayor Lockwood asked for questions and comments from the audience. There being no questions or comments from the audience, Council- man Losleben moved that the hearing be closed at 8:08 P.M. Councilman Mertensotto seconded the motion. Councilman Losleben moved the adoption of Ordinance No. 182, "AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 401", approving the rezoning of property as described in the public hearing notice. Councilman Hartmann seconded the motion. The Council directed staff to review the rezoning petition sub- mitted by the private property owners, incorporating those parcels into a study of the entire area, and to make a recommendatio: to the Council at a future meeting. Mayor Lockwood opened the meeting for the purpose of the public hearing on the proposed use of Federal Revenue Sharing entitle- ments for fiscal year 1982. City Administrator Johnson advised that a notice had been pub- lished in the West St.Paul Sun, notifying the residents of a public hearing to be conducted this evening relative to the pro- posed use of Federal Revenue Sharing 1982 entitlements totalling $38,896. Mr. Johnson advised the audience that all Federal Revenue Sharing monies have been applied to funding the Public Works Garage Fund. He further advised that staff recommends that the anticipated 1982 allocation be again applied to reduce the Public Works Garage construction fund. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 ABATEMENTS Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 RYAN CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, INDUS- TRIAL REVENUE FINANCING Page 1532 September 1, 1981 Mayor Lockwood asked for questions and comments from the audience. There being no questions or comments from the audience, Council- woman Witt moved that the hearing be closed at 8:20 P.M. Councilman Hartmann seconded the motion. Mr. Bill Peterson, Dakota County Assessor, was present to request approval of proposed abatements for Parcel No. 27-03800-031-40, owned by Pamela Gryc and located west of Dodd Road and north of Par 3 Golf, and Parcel No. 27-83300-181-00, owned by Virgil McQuay and commonly known as 976 Kay Avenue. Mr. Peterson reviewed the Gryc site for the Council, advising the Council that the City's Code Enforcement Officer has advised him the property is landlocked and not currently buildable. He recommended that the assessed value be reduced from $8,700 to $4,350 for taxes payable in 1981. The Council discussed the matter at length, and determined that there was not sufficient information on which to base a decision at the present time. The Council asked Mr. Peterson to prepare and submit additional information for Council consideration on September 15th. Mr. Peterson then reviewed the McQuay property, recommending to the Council that the assessed value be reduced from $16,724 to $15,464 for taxes payable in 1981. Councilman Losleben moved to approve the granting of an abatement to Mr. Virgil McQuay for Parcel No. 27-83300-181-00, reducing the assessed value from $16,724 to $15,464 for taxes payable in 1981. Councilwoman Witt seconded the motion. Mr. Len Champer, representing Ryan Construction Company, was present to request approval of the final resolution to approve the issuance of Industrial Revenue Bonds to finance the Ryan Construction Company building which will be leased to Sperry- Univac. Financial Advisor Shaughnessy advised the Council that the resolution before the City Council is the final resolution to approve $3,930,000 in industrial revenue financing. He advised the Council that the City Attorney's office has reviewed the documents and recommends that the final resolution be adopted. Mr. Shaughnessy stated that if approved, this would be an Industrial Revenue Bond issue similar to the Cray Research issue, as opposed to a note to be held by a single financing institution. After discussion, Councilman Mertensotto moved the adoption of Resolution No. 81-65, "RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE SALE AND ISSUANCE OF INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT REVENUE BONDS UNDER THE MINNESOTA MUNICIPAL INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT ACT TO FINANCE A PROJECT THERE- UNDER, SECURED BY PAYMENTS TO BE RECEIVED PURSUANT TO A LOAN Ayes; 4 Nays: 0 Abstain: 1, Hartmann CASE NO. 81-28, RYAN CONSTRUCTION Page 1533 September 1, 1981 AGREEMENT, A PTEDGE AND ASSIGNMENT OF THE CITY'S INTEREST IN THE LOAN AGREEMENT AND PAYMENTS THEREUNDER TO A TRUSTEE, AND A LETTER OF CREDIT FROM THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF MINNEAPOLIS IN FAVOR OF THE TRUSTEE, AND AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF DOCUMENTS". Councilman Losleben seconded the motion. Mr. Jerry Junkman, representing Ryan Construction Company, was present to request approval of a variance from parking space size requirements for the Sperry-Univac facility, to allow installation of parking spaces with a width of nine feet rather than the 10 feet required under the Ordinance. After a brief discussion, Councilwoman Witt moved approval of the variance, to allow nine foot wide parking stalls in the Sperry- Univac parking lot. Councilman Losleben seconded the motion. Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 Abstain: 1, Hartmann Mr. Junkman advised the Council that the Ryan Construction Company representatives have met with the City Engineer and Public Works Director Danielson and have resolved the drainage problems for the Sperry-Univac site. Mr. Junkman explained both the past drainage proposals and the proposal ironed out with staff. He stated that Ryan Construction is now proposing to drain the subject site into a culvert at Mendota Heights Road and Medallion Drive, in accordance with those discussions with staff. Public Works Director Danielson stated that the proposed new drainage plan meets with staff approval, and that if there is any back-up of drainage (in a 100 year storm, as an example), there may be some surcharging into the Sperry-Univac parking lot, but there would be no spilling over into the street. Mr. Danielson also noted that there will be an overflow outlet from the aquifer recharge area. Mr. Danielson stated that Ryan Construction has submitted a signed landscape plan and has addressed drainage and grading, all of which items were of concern in previous discussions. He stated that the drainage system proposed is considerably improved due to the lowering of the Northern States Power gas lines which cross the property. Mr. Danielson stated that while the plans for the Sperry-Univac site include 149 parking spaces, only 123 are required by Ordinance. He noted that 53 parking spaces allocated for a future addition will be grassed until the proposed addition is accomplished. Mr. Danielson then answered questions from the Council relative to the drainage proposal. He pointed out that if the drainage system as proposed does not function as anticipated, or if any problems arise, a connection for drainage can be made into the Mn/DOT system when it is com- pleted within three years. He suggested that this connection, should there be problems, be a condition of approval. Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 Abstain: 1, Hartmann CASE NO. 81-17, NSP CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT Ayes: 5 ) Nays: 0 Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 Page 1534 September 1, 1981 Councilman Losleben suggested that if the approval is granted, it should also be a condition that any additional expense to alleviate water drainage problems created by this property must be handled by Ryan Construction. After discussion, Councilman Mertensotto moved to authorize the issuance of a building permit to Ryan Construction Company for construction of a Sperry-Univac facility conditioned upon approval of the plan by the Code Enforcement Officer, and approval of the landscaping, grading and drainage plans by the Public Works Director, with the understanding that if any storm water drainage problems arise in the future, the cost for correction of such deficiencies will be the responsibility of the contractor and would be assessed against the property. Councilman Losleben seconded the motion. Mayor Lockwood opened the meeting for the purpose of a public hearing to consider an application from Northern States Power Company for the installation of a 12 foot wall surrounding the NSP sub-station located north of the Eide Estates Addition. Mr. Don Chmiel, representing NSP, briefly summarized the proposal to screen the existing sub-station. He stated that it is proposed that a 12 foot wall on the south side of the NSP property, along with additional landscaping, be installed for the purposes of sound-attenuation and aesthetics for the contiguous residentially zoned properties. He stated that the developers of the adjoining properties have agreed to berm around their residential plats. In response to a Council comment relative to Planning Commission Chairperson Kruse's suggestion on the planting of more evergreens, Mr. Chmiel stated that the landscaping plan was designed to blend in with the surrounding backgrounds rather than to provide a heavy concentration of one type of plantings which would emphasize the sub-station. Mr. Chmiel advised the Council that the wall surface will be prestressed concrete with a raked exterior finish. Mayor Lockwood asked for questions and comments from the audience. There being no questions or comments, Mayor Lockwood moved that the hearing be closed at 9:17 P.M. Councilman Hartmann seconded the motion. Councilman Losleben moved the adoption of Resolution No. 81-66, "RESOLUTION GRANTING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO NORTHERN STATES POWER COMPANY." Councilwoman Witt seconded the motion. The Council also discussed the NSP :application for wetlands permit to allow installation of a portion of the proposed fence within 100 feet of a wetlands area. Page 153 5 September 1, 1981 After discussion, Councilwoman Witt moved to approve the NSP application for wetlands permit to allow installation of the east- erly portion of the proposed fence in accordance with the plans submitted with the conditional use permit application. Councilman Hartmann seconded the motion. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 HEARING, CASE NO. Mayor Lockwood opened the meeting for the purpose of a public 81-19, AMESBURY hearing on an application from McNulty Construction Company EAST for a conditional use permit for the proposed Amesbury East. Mr. Ron Erickson, architect for the proposed development, stated that he has been meeting with staff for several months relative to the proposed townhouse/courtyard home developmentproposed to be located on the Owens/King properties on Delaware Avenue. He stated that the proposed future alignment of Mendota Heights Road is addressed in the plan, and that the design concept is to build the homes around the ponds and retain the natural grades to preserve the trees and other natural amenities. Mr. Erickson stated that proposed access would be from future Mendota Heights Road and Delaware Avenue. He stated that the developers propose to develop the property in phases, the first phase being a 52.1 acre tract, including a 5.2 acre area to be dedicated for park purposes. The first phase ,would include construction of 42 luxury courtyard homes around the pond and 36 townhomes. The second phase, 29.2 acres including a 2.9 acre park dedication, would be developed with 14 townhomes and 16 courtyard homes. Mr. Erickson stated that the first phase of development is anticipated for completion in 1985. He pointed out that variances from the wetlands setback provisions will be requested in order to allow construction of the structures within 100 feet from the wetlands area. Mr. Scott-Alarri, of Schoell and Madson Engineering, engineer for the proposed project, reviewed information on drainage and utilities proposed by the developers. Councilman Mertensotto asked Mr. Erickson why the developers are proposing phased development along with phased stages of park dedication, and expressed his disfavor with phased development which might ultimately result in development by several firms before total completion of the P.U.D. In response to the question over phased park dedication, Mr. Erickson stated that this is being proposed so that if for some reason the development doesn't proceed, the developer would not be contributing a disproportionate amountOf land. Councilwoman Witt pointed out that the Park Commission minutes indicate that the Commission prefers a dedication of all 8 acres as one parcel rather than two separate parcels. Page 1536 September 1, 1981 Mr. Tom Bayless, Park Commission Chairman, stated that the Commission discussion over total site dedication came as the result of a drawing which shows future development of Huber Drive. He stated that the Commission determined that the entire parcel is needed because the property might be separated from the School District site (proposed future City park acquisition) by Huber Drive, Mr. Erickson stated that the developers originally came to the Park and.Recreation Commission with a sketch plan for a single P.U.D with a single park, indicating that if there was future development there would be a single park. HeJ,pointed out that the plan before the Council allows the park dedication for both parts of the development to occur at a single location. He advised that if the entire 8 acre park dedication were required at one time, the developers would ask for a P.U.D. for only the southerly area, with no phasing of development, and including a 5.2 acre.park dedication. Councilman Hartmann asked Mr. Erickson why the developers do not plan to develop both phases now, since utilities to the site must run through phase 2 in order to serve phase 1. Mr. Erickson stated that phase 2 is an option and that the 50 acre phase 1 is large enough to develop economically as a single phase. Councilman Mertensotto stated that if a P.U.D. is to be approved, it must be a total P.U.D. with no changes in the future and that the City Council needs to know how the total area will ultimately be developed. There was considerable discussion over the future alignment of Huber Drive and its relationship to the plat, the proposed park dedications and to the School District property. Several members of the Council expressed concern and questions over' the matter of density. Councilman Losleben stated that the City needs assurance if the P.U.D. is approved for phase develop- ment, that development will not be transferred from one phase to the other. Mr. McNulty stated that if his firm is the owner of the proposed phase 2 when it develops, they will comply with this plan and the density. It was the determination of the Council that there is not sufficient information available to make a decision on the P.U.D. application and directed that staff study and report on the proposal, particul- arly with reference to drainage, Huber Drive alignment and park dedication. Mayor Lockwood asked for questions and comments from the audience. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 CASE NO. 81-3, KRAJNIAK/WAHL ZONING ORDINANCE REVISIONS Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 Page 1537 September 1, 1981 There being no questions or comments, Councilman Losleben moved that the hearing be continued to October 6th. Councilman Mertensotto seconded the motion. Administrator Johnson pointed out that the development as proposed indicates a density of 1.33 units per acre. Mr. Johnson noted that three options are presented in the Planner's report: an application for density variance could be considered; a portion of the land could be rezoned to R-1; the Council could consider amending the Zoning Ordinance to create an R-1B Dist rict, requir- ing 30,000 square feet per unit. He noted that if the Council all agree to change the density in the area and accepts the density, the developer could proceed under a P.U.D. However, if the Council does not accept the density under a P.U.D. proposal, the applicants will have to reconsider their plans. Attorney Winthrop stated that if the proposal is to reduce the density substantially, a P.U.D. is not the way to accomplish the reduction. He suggested that the Council should formally consider rezoning the property to a different density than what is currently allowed. Mr. Winthrop stated that the procedure should be to consider amending the Zoning Ordinance to create a new classificatio] and, if adopted, shouldthen consider rezoning the property to the new classification. Attorney Winthrop advised the Council that the legal represen- tative for the Krajniaks and Wahls has contacted him to request that the Council delay discussion on the wetlands permit application to the next regular meeting. Mrs. Jane Zaspel, 1792 Ridgewood Drive, advised the Council of drainage problems affecting her lot as the result of filling on the Krajziak/Wahl properties, and expressed exasperation over the request for delay in consideration. Public Works Director:: Danielson expalined that there is an undefinel drainage ditch that comes from the City's storm water outlet through the back of the Krajniak/Wahl properties. He stated that as the result of the filling by those property owners, twice as much water drains to the Zaspel property than before the filling occured. He advised that staff believes the ditch can be improved to allev- iate the drainage problem after an easement is granted by the Krajniaks and Wahls. Attorney Winthrop stated that the Council, on August 4th, adopted a housekeeping amendment to the Zoning Ordinance, and that publication of such amendment can be acoomplished in summary form in accordance with new State Statutes. He distributed copies of a summary of the amendment and asked that publication of the summary be authorized. Councilman Hartmann moved that the City Attorney be authorized and directed to submit the Ordinance summary to the Sun Newspaper for publication. Councilwoman Witt seconded the motion. Page 1538 September 1, 1981 CASE NO. 81-21, Mr. Robert Tousignant was present to request approval of a variance TOUSIGNANT, to allow a sing which is already installed at Econ-Placer, 2515 VARIANCE Northland Drive, 19 feet from the property line along Northland Drive. Mr. Tousignant presented pictures of the sign to the Council and stated that he believes the sign to be very attractive and does not believe it would serve any purpose to move or modify the sign. Mrs. Janet B'lesener, a member of the Planning Commission, stated that a part of the problem is that the sign was illegally placed in its existing location. Mr. Tousignant stated that the sign was originally installed by the firm which owned the property prior to Econ-Placer. He pointed out that he has changed the sign face but did not change the loc- ation or sign height. After discussion, Councilman Mertensotto moved that Robert Tousignant be permitted to maintain the pre-existing sign structure in its present, nori-conforming location on the condition that if the sign is modified in any way it must entirely conform to the Ordinance requirements. Councilman Hartmann seconded the motion. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 CASE NO. 81-29, Mr. Lloyd Schmotter was present to request approval of a rear SCHMOTTER, yard setback variance to allow installation of a swimming pool VARIANCE 11 feet from the rear yard property line at 732 Medora Court. Mr. Schmotter advised the Council that, in response to staff concerns, backwash from the pool will be diverted onto the driveway and into the City's storm sewer rather than to the back of the lot. Mr. Schmotter was advised by the Council that should there be any problem with backwash to properties behind the subject lot, the City will be in contact with the property owner to remedy the problems. After discussion, Councilman Mertensotto moved to approve a 19 foot variance from the rear yard setback requirement at 732 Medora Court as requested, on the condition that the installation of the swimming pool conform with all ordinance requirements. Mayor Lockwood seconded the motion. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 CASE NO. 81-30, Public Works Director Danielson advised the Council that represen- CRAY RESEARCH, tatives of Cray Research and Architectural Alliance could not be VARIANCE present this evening.

Page 1539 September 1, 1981 After a brief discussion, Councilman Mertensotto moved that a variance from the parking space size requirement be approved as requested but that no action be taken on the request for reduction in the required number of parking spaces until such time as the applicant is present to explain the request. Councilman Hartmann seconded the motion. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 CASE NO. CAO 81-05, A representative of Mr. John Lambert, 1275 Knollwood Lane, was LAMBERT present to request approval of a Critical Area site plan to allow construction of a porch addition on the Lambert residence.

Councilman Hartmann seconded the motion. The Council acknowledged receipt of a memo from the City Admin- istrator relative to proposed construction of a 10 story high- rise located at TH 13 and Victoria Road in Lilydale. Councilman Mertensotto moved that the Council conduct an informal hearing on September 15th, with written notices to residents of the Victoria Road/Caren Road area, to discuss information on the proposed site and structure. Mayor Lockwood seconded the motion. ENGINEERING The Council briefly discussed a memo from the City Administrator relative to the proposed transition in engineering services. Mr. Johnson also briefly reviewed the proposed Engineering Fund budget. He advised the Council that offices adjoining the existing City off- ices are not of an adequate size to house the engineering services and additional space acress the hall from the administrative office is currently being reviewed.
