PUBLIC COMMENTS PRESENTATIONS PUBLIC HEARING A) RESOLUTION 2015-23, CRITICAL AREA PERMIT, CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, VARIANCE AT 731 WOODRIDGE DRIVE, PLANNING CASE 2015-06 Planner Nolan Wall explained the applicant was requesting approval to conduct slope repair at 731 Woodridge Drive, which is within the Mississippi River Corridor Critical Area. Due to the scope of the project, Critical Area Permit, Conditional Use Permit, and Variance requests are required. March 17, 2015 Mendota Heights City Council Page 2 page 4 The proposed project includes construction of a concrete retaining wall, associated soil stabilization activities, and vegetation removal within the approximately 75 -foot by 45 -foot impacted area above Highway 13, on the applicant's property. The Council granted a request at their earlier meeting to conduct a public hearing tonight instead of before the Planning Commission so consideration of the proposed project could be expedited and construction could begin as soon as possible. Agency review is required for a Critical Area Permit application. MnDOT, the DNR, and the Cities of St. Paul and Lilydale did not have any objections to the proposed project. Mayor Krebsbach opened the public hearing and invited the public to come forward to make comments. No one from the public wished to be heard on this item. Councilmember Petschel moved to close the public hearing. Councilmember Povolny seconded the motion. Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 Absent: 1 Councilmember Petschel moved to adopt RESOLUTION 2015-23 APPROVING CRITICAL AREA PERMIT, CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, AND VARIANCE APPLICATIONS AT 731 WOODRIDGE DRIVE based on the Findings of Fact and Conditions as presented in the resolution. Councilmember Povolny seconded the motion. Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 Absent: 1 NEW AND UNFINISHED BUSINESS A) TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMITTEE UPDATE Public Works Director John Mazzitello explained that the Traffic Safety Committee met on March 3, 2015 and he provided an update from that meeting. Speed on Marie Avenue - In cooperation with the West St. Paul Police Department, there will be some targeted speed enforcement along Marie Avenue, between Delaware and Charlton. Crosswalks on Wachtler Avenue - Wachtler Avenue runs south from Highway 13 to Wentworth. The residents on the east side of Wachtler requested a crosswalk to access the trail on the west side. Since Wachtler Avenue is a county road, this request was forwarded to the County. Request to Change Yield Signs to Stop Signs — Lilac Lane - The Police Department has looked at the intersections of Lilac Lane/Douglas Road and Lilac Lane/Caren Road. They did some targeted monitoring and do not believe the intersections warrant a change at this time. The Traffic Safety Committee is recommending the yield signs remain in place with continued monitoring. Warrior Drive Parking - A group of residents came before the Council in September 2013 citing concerns relating to the students parking on the east side of Warrior Drive. Since that time, the Traffic Safety Committee has looked at this issue, Henry Sibley High School administration has opened more March 17, 2015 Mendota Heights City Council Page 3 page 5 permit parking spots in their main lot, and they have made parking available at the southeast corner of their campus. A school assembly was held where Police Officer Jenny Fordham spoke to the students about traffic safety issues and the residents' concerns about the parking on Warrior. In 2014, Dakota County constructed a new trail on the east side of Warrior Drive. Parking spaces were reduced on the east side due to trail access. The Police Department has also monitored the activities in the area with the parking and traffic movements. The Committee reviewed the statistics gathered by the police department and recommended no change to the existing parking. The area will continue to be monitored through the end of the 2015-2016 school year, School Administration will continue to have assemblies with the students to talk about traffic safety and parking issues, and potential solutions may be incorporated into the Warrior Drive street rehabilitation project scheduled for the summer of 2016. Councilmembers asked questions regarding the issue of U-turns and the loss of the temporary no parking signs. Chief of Police Michael Aschenbrener confirmed the statistics his department provided. Mayor Krebsbach opened the floor for comments from the public on this matter. Stuart Simek, 577 High Ridge Circle - referenced the May 20, 2014 City Council minutes where staff was directed to put together a working group which was to include the area residents. He noted that this meeting has not taken place. He stated he is encouraged on what he heard tonight, on the potential rebuilding of Warrior Drive. He encouraged the Council to consider `No Parking' signs in the area neighborhoods, or a 2 -hour parking limit. Frank Pilney, 1867 Warrior Drive - commended the Police Department because the student driving has dramatically improved. U-turns continue to be a problem. He requested that parking spaces be made available for residents only. If no parking were allowed on the east side and limited parking on the west side was opened up, that would still allow two lanes to be open for emergency vehicles. Councilmembers asked questions regarding the enforcement of residential parking permits and 2 -hour parking limits. Kevin Bormann, 1875 Warrior Drive — there is now less trash in this area, believes the statistics are skewed due to police presence. Area resident - expressed her appreciation for the work that has been completed by city staff, hope the city can come up with a way to restrict parking along Warrior Drive. The City Council directed the Traffic Safety Committee to discuss these concerns sometime in late March or early April, specifically the request to allow parking spaces for residents only. Mayor Krebsbach will also meet with the School Superintendent to discuss this issue. March 17, 2015 Mendota Heights City Council Page 4 page 6 B) APPROVE 2015 CONTRACT FOR PILOT KNOB MANAGEMENT Assistant to the City Administrator Tamara Schutta introduced Mr. Wiley Buck, representing Great River Greening. Ms. Schutta explained what was done at Pilot Knob last year and the proposal for 2015. She noted that the contract for $5,200 included control of invasive species organized by Great River Greening, care of the trail and overlook and the maintenance of Pilot Knob, and the pasturing of goats and sheep. Mr. Buck explained that Great River Greening is a local non-profit organization that is committed to doing ecological restoration and engaging the community in the process. This year the milestones they hit were 30,000 volunteers, 100,000 trees and shrubs planted, 10,000 acres restored, and their 20th anniversary. The main focus of the contract is invasive species management, private volunteer event(s), conservation grazing, pollinator studies at the site, and restoration of the Highway 55 portion of the roadside (in cooperation with MnDOT). Councilmember Povolny moved to authorize staff to execute a contract with Great River Greening for Pilot Knob Hill Restoration. Councilmember Petschel seconded the motion. Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 Absent: C) APPOINTMENTS FOR NOISE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE Assistant to the City Administrator Tamara Schutta explained that there is an open position on the Noise Oversight Committee. Councilmember Petschel is the primary contact with the alternate being Councilmember Duggan and Airport Commissioner David Sloan. Their 2 -year terms end June 25th Councilmember Petschel and Commissioner Sloan have expressed an interest in being reappointed. Councilmember Duggan wishes to step down at this time. Mayor Krebsbach noted that Councilmember Petschel has done a fantastic job as the NOC representative as well has Commissioner Sloan. She expressed her appreciation for their service. Councilmember Povolny moved to appoint Councilmember Petschel as representative, and David Sloan as alternate to the Noise Oversight Committee for a term through June 25, 2017. Councilmember Norton seconded the motion. Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 Absent: D) SET MAY GOAL SETTING WORKSHOP Assistant to the City Administrator Tamara Schutta explained that the Council met in February 2015 and identified a number of goals. At that time, Council directed staff to set a follow-up meeting date in May. March 17, 2015 Mendota Heights City Council Page 5 page 7 Councilmember Norton moved to schedule the workshop for May 12, 2015, 1:00 p.m. — 4:00 p.m. Councilmember Petschel seconded the motion. Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 Absent: 1 E) ORDINANCE 473 AMEND CITY CODE SECTION 12-1L-10 CONCERNING AFTER -THE -FACT PERMIT FEES Planner Nolan Wall explained the City was considering amendments to Title 12 Chapter 1 Article L of the City Code concerning fees and deposits. Staff identified these potential amendments concerning After -the -Fact Permit Fees. In 2014 the City processed two after -the -fact permits, which involved non - permitted vegetation removal activities. In order to charge additional fees for after -the -fact zoning permits — which would include critical area, conditional use, wetlands, and variance permits — the code must be amended to grant that authority. If approved, the language would then be added to the fee schedule. Actions that do require after -the -fact permit fees are also subject to the general penalty provision that is already in the code. Councilmember Petschel moved to adopt ORDINANCE 473 AMENDING SECTION 12-1L-10 OF THE CITY CODE CONCERNING AFTER -THE -FACT PERMIT APPLICATION FEES. Councilmember Povolny seconded the motion. Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 Absent: 1 F) RESOLUTION 2015-19 APPROVING AMENDMENTS TO FEE SCHEDULE City Clerk Lorri Smith explained that with the passage of Ordinance 473 regarding After -the -Fact Permit Fees, staff is proposing to add that permit fee to the fee schedule. Along with that, staff proposed a few clarifications to the fee schedule. She then summarized the proposed revisions which are clarifications to fees already in the schedule or corrections to the software formula for setting the building permit fees in Exhibit A. Councilmember Norton moved to adopt RESOLUTION 2015-19 REVISING SCHEDULE OF FEES. Councilmember Povolny seconded the motion. Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 Absent: 1 G) ORDINANCE 471 AMEND CITY CODE SECTION 12-1 CONCERNING WETLANDS PERMIT REQUIREMENTS Planner Nolan Wall explained that staff identified potential amendments to the Code concerning the wetlands permitted administrative approval process to accommodate additional eligible activities. Planner Wall summarized the proposed amendments. March 17, 2015 Mendota Heights City Council Page 6 page 8 Councilmember Petschel moved to adopt ORDINANCE 471 AMENDING SECTIONS 12-2-6 AND 12-2-10 OF THE CITY CODE CONCERNING WETLANDS PERMIT REQUIREMENTS. Councilmember Povolny seconded the motion. Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 Absent: 1 H) DISCUSSION OF MEMORIAL OPTIONS FOR OFFICER SCOTT PATRICK Chief of Police Michael Aschenbrener explained there were several options for formalizing a way to honor Officer Scott Patrick. The police officers elected three fellow officers to represent them on a committee to sort through the different suggestions as ways to recognize and honor Officer Patrick. The Peer Officer Committee requested that Council representatives join them and form a joint committee to sort through and make recommendations to bring back to the full City Council for consideration. The joint committee would be looking at how this would impact the community, the Patrick family, and the Police Department and getting the list down to a few options that the City Council could consider as ways to honor Officer Patrick. City Attorney Tom Lehmann commented that it is important that the Council is involved in the Committee. The location of the memorial would be somewhere within the City, so there is a vested interest on behalf of the City to be involved. It also provides an opportunity to keep the communication open with the Council. It would be prudent to have two Councilmembers on the committee. City Administrator McNeill relayed to the Council that Councilmember Duggan has indicated he would be honored to be one of the Council representatives. Councilmember Petschel also indicated her desire to serve. Mayor Krebsbach asked for clarification that, in terms of funding the memorial, it would be a combination of fundraising activities and the City budget. City Administrator Mark McNeill replied that there are probably three components of funding — city funding, the Mendota Heights Police Officers Benevolence Association, and the Mendota Heights Community Criminal Apprehensive Fund. The important thing would be to have the joint committee research funding options and come back with a recommendation. Police Officers John Larrive, Bobby Lambert, and Mike Shepard were present to discuss with the Council the possible designation of a highway in Mendota Heights in memory of Officer Patrick. The suggestion, which was brought forward from State Representative Joe Atkins, was to designate a portion of either Highway 110 or Dodd Road as "Officer Scott Patrick Memorial Highway". Mayor Krebsbach explained that she heard from Rep. Joe Atkins office and that if the City wishes to designate a road in 2015, a decision would need to be made tonight so the state legislature could hold a hearing on March 201h. If no decision by the Council is made tonight, the request could be brought back to the next legislative session, allowing the City time to research and consider the request. Officers Larrive, Lambert, and Shepard stated that after they received the request from Representative Atkins, they discussed it with Michelle Patrick and she expressed her desire that the designated road be March 17, 2015 Mendota Heights City Council Page 7 page 9 Dodd Road, from the south end of Mendota Heights through Smith Avenue in West St. Paul. The Officer Committee replied back to Representative Atkins' office with her wishes. Since that time, they received notice that the City Council wanted to be heard and involved on this. The officers explained that the road designation is something that could be done quickly and in time for unveiling on the anniversary of Officer Patrick's death. In response to a question from Mayor Krebsbach, Administrator McNeill explained that Representative Atkins would need to be notified as soon as possible so he could schedule a committee hearing. Councilmember Petschel expressed her support since she has now heard confirmation of the family's wishes. She is in support of forming a joint committee so there is continued communication. Councilmember Norton echoed Councilmember Petschel's comments. Councilmember Povolny stated that he has no problem with either road choice; however, if the family wishes it be Dodd Road then that is what should be done. Councilmember Petschel moved to send a formal resolution (Resolution 2015-24 Designate TH149 as Officer Patrick Memorial Hwy) to Rep. Joe Atkins stating that the City Council is in support of designating Dodd Road as "Officer Scott Patrick Memorial Highway". Councilmember Norton seconded the motion. Ms. Michelle Patrick came forward and expressed her appreciation for the hard work the Police Officer Committee has done and is still doing. Mayor Krebsbach called for the vote. Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 Absent: 1 Councilmember Povolny moved to appoint Police Officers Larrive, Lambert, and Shepard along with Councilmembers Petschel and Duggan to the Officer Patrick Memorial Alternatives Committee. Councilmember Norton seconded the motion. Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 Absent: 1 COMMUNITY ANNOUNCEMENTS Assistant to the City Administrator Tamara Schutta made the following announcements: • Grading has started at Lemay Lake Shores. Infrastructure utilities and street installation will begin in late April. • Registration is open for the summer park programs. • Clean-up day is scheduled for Saturday, May 2 from 8:00 a.m. — 12:00 p.m. • 2nd Annual Blazing Wing Eating Contest at Moose Country is March 21 from 1:00 — 4:00. • Officer Patrick Fundraiser on Saturday, April 11. March 17, 2015 Mendota Heights City Council Page 8 page 10 COUNCIL COMMENTS Councilmember Norton stated that it was really nice to see a lot of people out walking, jogging, and biking over the last two weeks. Councilmember Petschel acknowledged the St. Paul Pioneer Press for pointing out that Mendota Heights is per capita the most Irish city in the State of Minnesota. Councilmember Povolny wished his son a Happy Birthday. Mayor Krebsbach noted that The Olive Grove in The Village has cooking and sampling classes. She noted the passing of Mr. Dick Bjorklund Sr. He was a city building permit inspector and a long-time contractor in the City. He was also active with the Chamber of Commerce and will be missed. ADJOURN Councilmember Norton moved to adjourn. Councilmember Povolny seconded the motion. Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 Absent: 1 Mayor Krebsbach adjourned the meeting at 9:08 p.m. Sandra Krebsbach Mayor ATTEST: Lorri Smith City Clerk March 17, 2015 Mendota Heights City Council Page 9 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 page 11 Sb. CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS DAKOTA COUNTY, MINNESOTA PLANNING COMMISSON MINUTES March 24, 2015 The regular meeting of the Mendota Heights Planning Commission was held on Tuesday, March 24, 2015 in the Council Chambers at City Hall, 1101 Victoria Curve at 7:00 P.M. The following Commissioners were present: Chair Litton Field, Jr., Commissioners Howard Roston, Michael Noonan, Doug Hennes, Mary Magnuson, and Christine Costello. Those absent: Commissioner Ansis Viksnins. Others present were City Planner Nolan Wall and Public Works Director/City Engineer John Mazzitello. Approval ofAgenda The agenda was approved as submitted. Approval of February 24, 2015 Minutes COMMISSIONER HENNES MOVED, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER NOONAN TO APPROVE THE MINUTES OF FEBRUARY 24, 2015 AS PRESENTED. AYES: 6 NAYS: 0 ABSENT: 1 Hearin -s PLANNING CASE 92015-05 Alltech Engineering/Mendota Management, LLC, 2515 Pilot Knob Road Variance Request Chair Litton Field, Jr. recused himself from this case, due to the fact that his employer does business with Alltech Engineering and wished to avoid any perceptions of conflict. Vice -chair Doug Hennes lead the discussion of this case. City Planner Nolan Wall explained that Alltech Engineering/Mendota Management, LLC was seeking a variance from the side yard setback standard to construct an approximate 2,363 square foot addition to the existing office/warehouse building located at 2515 Pilot Knob Road. The subject parcel is 4.3 acres, located at the southwest corner of the Pilot Knob and Mendota Heights Road intersection. The property is zoned and guided as Industrial. The same variance request for a similar project was approved in 2008 as part of Planning Case 2008-12. According to the Code, a variance is voided after one year if no action is taken. Therefore, since it was never constructed, the Planning Commission and City Council must consider a new variance request. Planner Wall stated that the side yard setback for a structure abutting the street in the Industrial District is 40 feet. The building setback along Mendota Heights Road varies from 22.8 feet to 21 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 page 12 feet 3518 inches, which is caused by the buildings angle in relation to the right-of-way across the 250 feet of frontage. The angle creates an inconsistent setback from Mendota Heights Road. The proposed addition would extend the northeast corner of the building an additional 40.5 feet to the east along the existing north wall, which creates a setback of approximately 21 feet. As a result, the variance request was for approximately 19 feet from the side yard, abutting Mendota Heights Road. The proposed addition does meet all of other setback, lot coverage, and landscaping requirements for the industrial district. Planner Wall then explained the requirements for a variance request approval and shared images of the lot. Staff recommended approval of this variance request with conditions. Commissioners asked questions regarding the location of the alternative that was considered. Mr. Chris Lawrence, Operations Manager of Alltech Engineering, recognized Mr. Bob Lawrence, CEO/Founder/Owner of Alltech Engineering and General Manager of Mendota Management who owns the building, and Mr. Greg Merz, CFO of Alltech Engineering, and indicated they were all present to answer any additional questions from the Commission. He explained how this expansion would grow their business and discussed plans for expansion of the warehouse portion of the building. Vice -chair Hennes opened the public hearing. Seeing no one coming forward wishing to speak, Vice -chair Hennes asked for a motion to close the public hearing. COMMISSIONER NOONAN MOVED, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER ROSTON, TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. AYES: 5 NAYS: 0 ABSTAIN: 1 (Field) ABSENT: 1 (Viksnins) COMMISSIONER NOONAN MOVED, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER MAGNUSON, TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF PLANNING CASE 2015-05: SIDE YARD SETBACK VARIANCE REQUEST FOR BUILDING ADDITION AT 2515 PILOT KNOB ROAD, based on the following Findings of Fact: 1. The proposed addition is a reasonable use of the property, meets the purpose and intent of the City Code, and is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. 2. The improvements to Mendota Heights Road created a unique circumstance upon the property not created by the applicant. 3. The building's location on a corner lot with an existing encroachment is a unique circumstance not created by the applicant. 4. The proposed addition represents a small increased encroachment into the side yard while still maintaining a large front yard setback. page 13 97 5. The applicant has considered alternatives to the proposed addition. 98 6. The proposed addition will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood. 99 and with the following conditions: 100 1. A building permit be obtained prior to construction of the addition. 101 2. The applicant shall submit grading plans and a dimensioned site plan with associated 102 easements, subject to review and approval by the City Engineering Department as part of 103 any building permit application. 104 3. Any land disturbance activities must be in compliance with the City's Land Disturbance 105 Guidance document. 106 107 AYES:5 108 NAYS:0 109 ABSTAIN: 1 (Field) 110 ABSENT: 1 (Viksnins) 111 112 Vice -chair Hennes advised the City Council would consider this application at its April 7, 2015 113 meeting. 114 115 Chair Field returned to chair the remainder of the meeting. 116 117 PLANNING CASE 42015-07 118 Nate Wissink, Elevation Homes, 747 Willow Lane 119 Lot Split and Wetlands Permit 120 121 City Planner Nolan Wall explained that the application, on behalf of the property owners, 122 requested a lot split for the existing subject parcel located at 747 Willow Lane. They are also 123 requesting a wetlands permit for construction activity within a wetlands and water resource -related 124 area. Planner Wall shared an image showing the location of the proposed split, the 100 -foot buffer 125 area for the wetlands area, and the 25 -foot non -disturb area. The subject parcel is 1.12 acres and 126 contains an existing single-family dwelling which is zoned R-1 and guided for low-density 127 residential development on the Comprehensive Plan. The applicant intends to demolish the 128 existing home and construct two new single-family homes on the newly -created lots. 129 130 The subdivision would create two lots, both of which are in excess of the 15,000 square foot 131 minimum lot size requirement for the R-1 zoning district. Parcel A, the westerly parcel, would be 132 approximately 25,903 square feet and Parcel B, the easterly parcel, would include the area that has 133 the existing single family home and would be approximately 26,533 square feet. Both parcels do 134 have the required 100 feet of frontage on Willow Lane, are compliant with the R -I lot standards, 135 and consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. 136 137 Specific to the wetlands permit itself, the 100 -foot buffer area around Marie Creek encompasses 138 both parcels. Therefore, based on the proposed new pads, construction of the new dwellings will 139 require grading and vegetation removal within that buffer area, which does require a wetlands 140 permit. According to the applicant, up to seven healthy trees would be removed within the buffer 141 area and associated grading would also disturb ground vegetation on both parcels. 142 143 Staff did walk the site with the applicant and identified within that area that there are numerous 144 dead and dying trees. Those could potentially be removed through an administrative wetlands page 14 permit. However, because they would be disrupting that area and taking out some healthy trees, staff required them to request a wetlands permit. It was also noted that vegetation would be replanted on both parcels within the disturbed area post - construction. Staff proposed a condition that a landscape plan be submitted for further review at a later date. Also, erosion control measures are required and no disturbance would be occurring within the 25 -foot buffer area. Staff recommended approval of the subdivision and wetlands permit request subject to conditions. Commissioners asked if by approving this wetlands permit if they were also approving the location of the home construction sites. Additional questions were asked regarding alternative locations of the house pad on Parcel A and on Parcel B. Commissioner Roston, being associated with Streeter and Associates, Inc. (construction company serving this property), recused himself from voting on this case. Mr. Nate Wissink of Elevation Homes was present to answer additional questions from the Commission regarding the construction footprint. Chair Field opened the public hearing. Mr. David Burns, currently living in Lilydale but will be residing at 738 Willow Lane, requested that the Commission deny this application. He views lot splits by outside builders as a detriment to a way of life that should be preserved in Mendota Heights — property sizes, beauty, and preserving what is had. He has no problem with the building of the homes, just to the lot split. Ms. Joy Cacicia, 724 Spring Creek Circle, lives on the other side of the proposed Parcel B. She understands progress and building of homes, but as she understands, there is no guarantee of where the proposed new home will be located on Parcel B. If the builder decides to move the home further back on the lot, then sunset view that she has been able to look at every single day for 17 years will be gone. She does not want to stop change, but she does not want to start feeling closed -in either. The applicant returned to address the comments made by the public. Commissioner Magnuson commented that she understands that this lot split is in compliance with the City Code and that the applicant is doing everything they need to do to be in compliance with that Code. She requested that they understand that these are very difficult circumstances for people who currently live in the neighborhood. While the Commission does not have the authority to tell them where to site the home, how to build the home, or what it should look like — she requested that they consider what impact their building will have on the existing neighborhood and to the extent that they can, integrate it nicely into that neighborhood so that there are fewer disruptive things that occur to the other neighbors who currently live there. Mr. Wissink acknowledged the Commission's concerns and noted that they have reached out to some of the neighbors in the area to discuss the proposed construction in an attempt to address their concerns. page 15 193 Chair Field asked for a motion to close the public hearing. 194 195 COMMISSIONER NOONAN MOVED, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER MAGNUSON, TO 196 CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. 197 198 AYES:5 199 NAYS:0 200 ABSTAIN: 1 (Roston) 201 ABSENT: 1 (Viksnins) 202 203 COMMISSIONER NOONAN MOVED, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER HENNES, TO 204 RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF PLANNING CASE 2015-07, SUBDIVISION REQUEST FOR 205 A LOT SPLIT AND WETLANDS PERMIT FOR CONSTRUCTION AND VEGETATION 206 REMOVAL, based on the following Findings of Fact: 207 1. The proposed lot split and construction activities meet the purpose and intent of the City 208 Code and are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. 209 2. No grading or vegetation removal within the required 25 -foot non -disturb buffer area will 210 occur as part of the proposed construction projects. 211 3. Adequate erosion control measures will be observed during construction. 212 4. Vegetation will be replanted in the disturbed areas after construction is completed. 213 and with the following conditions: 214 1.

The Industrial District is located in the far southwest corner of the City. 257 258 The Industrial District contains a mix of office, warehouse, and hotel uses. Most notably, it lacks 259 certain amenities, especially food service options. As a result, staff does get frequent inquiries to 260 allow mobile food trucks in this area. Some of them have been approved administratively for 261 special events with few conditions on that use. 262 263 The mobile food truck vendors would be required to register with the City, which is different from 264 a licensing procedure and would be easier to deal with at the staff level. It's easier to verify that 265 insurance and permits from other agencies are valid and also to provide the vendor with those 266 operational requirements that are included in DRAFT Ordinance 475. The operational 267 requirements are being proposed to mitigate potential negative impacts to the surrounding 268 properties and to the public streets. 269 270 Planner Wall briefly described the proposed operational requirements. 271 272 Commissioners asked questions and had discussions regarding private versus institutional food 273 trucks being allowed on the properties; tables, chairs, and other structures being prohibited; the 274 potential for an interim use permit instead of registration; the potential for future issues with any 275 restaurant wishing to build in the Industrial District; how long the registration is good for; if input 276 was obtained from the Minnesota Food Truck Association; definition of a mobile food truck; and 277 if this would include the business park area. 278 279 Planner Wall summarized the proposed edits from the Commission as follows: 280 1. Amend the definition of a `mobile food truck' —basically clarifying that instead of "within 281 the Corporate City Limits" it reads "the Industrial District" — this should also be amended 282 in the "Purpose of this Chapter" sentence 283 2. Amendment to 3-3-6(B)(2), replacing the word "proper" with "required" 284 3. Amendment to 3-3-6(B)(6), prohibit picnic tables and benches in areas that are public right - 285 of -way, designated parking areas, fire lanes, or driveways 286 4.

AYES 5: NAYS 0 Rogers Lake Water Quality Report Presentation Planner Nolan Wall summarized the water quality report completed by Saint Thomas Academy Environmental Science Class. The students have been monitoring the water quality of Rogers Lake since 2001. Mr. Wall explained the overall purpose of their testing, what kind of tests they performed with an explanation of each, the results of the tests, and a comparison of those test results to last year. An overall rating was then extrapolated into a composite score of all nine chemical tests. The overall rating for Rogers Lake improved from 78.6 in 2013 to 80.8 in 2014. The water quality at Rogers Lake has continued to improve each year. Commissioner Paper asked how Rogers Lake compares to other lakes in the metro area. Mr. Wall stated that staff will check that out and follow up. River to River Greenway Draft Master Plan Mr. Wall presented the River to River Greenway Draft Master Plan complete by Dakota County. It is an eight mile trail that starts in Lilydale, and goes through Mendota Heights, West St. Paul, and South St. Paul. The purpose of this plan is to provide a strategic guidance for future greenway development. It is anticipated this plan will be adopted by the Dakota County Board of Commissioner in the summer of 2015. page 20 Dog Park Update Chair Hinderscheid provided a brief update on the Dog Park. Meeting Attendance The commission discussed how many meetings should be attended by the commissioners each year. The city council suggests that commissioner members attend 2/3 of their appointed commission meetings. The commission recognized that this is a voluntary position, but encourage attendance at the meetings to help keep the continuity of the commission. Announcements Mr. Wall announced that summer 2015 Park & Recreation Program registration will begin on March 17, 2015. Mr. Wall also announced that the Mendota Heights Athletic Association is now accepting registration for summer youth sports.

Requests for bids were sent to contractors that have been interested in bidding in the past. We received three bids and they are follows: Pearson Bros., Inc. $76.00/hour for an estimated total of $18,240.00 Allied Blacktop Company $81.00/hour for an estimated total of $19,440.00 Mike McPhillips, Inc. $83.00/hour for an estimated total of $19,920.00 BUDGET IMPACT There is $32,000.00 in the 2015 budget for street sweeping and striping. The estimated cost to do the spring street sweeping is $18,240.00. The bill for the spring sweeping in 2014 was $11,100.00. The remaining money for this line item in the 2015 budget will be used for the fall street sweeping and the striping of city streets. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the street sweeping contract be awarded to the lower bidder, Pearson Bros., Inc. for their low bid of $76.00 an hour. Pearson Bros., Inc. has swept the city's streets for the last 12 years and has always done an excellent job. page 22 5 e. 1101 Victoria Curve I Mendota Helg s, 8 651.452.1850 phone 1651.452.8940 fax www.mendota-heights.com , T mCITY OF MENDDTA HEIGHTS DATE: April 7, 2015 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Mark McNeill, City Administrator SUBJECT: Public Works Director Out of State Travel Request BACKGROUND Attached is a request from Public Works Director Mazzitello, asking for authorization to attend the national APWA Conference in Phoenix, Arizona later this summer. The Public Works Director's memo focuses on the experience to be gained by observing the planning and operations at the Phoenix Conference, in preparation for the conference coming to the Twin Cities the following year. However, I also believe John's overall professional development will be benefitted by his attendance of the sessions at the Conference this year, regardless of whether he is part of the planning process for the 2016 Minneapolis conference. John has been employed by the City for seven years; this would be his first attendance at a national conference. RECOMMENDATION I believe he and the City would benefit from his being approved to go, and therefore make that recommendation.

Mazzitello, PE, PMP, MBA Public Works Director/City Engineer SUBJECT: Out of State Travel Request BACKGROUND City policy requires notification and City Council approval for out-of-state travel by City employees. The Minnesota Chapter of the American Public Works Association (APWA) is hosting the 2016 APWA National Congress at the Minneapolis Convention Center. The Minnesota Chapter has asked that Public Works Director/City Engineer John R. Mazzitello serve on the planning committee for the 2016 National Congress. As part of the planning committee, members are encouraged to attend the 2015 APWA National Congress in Phoenix, Arizona; to meet with the Arizona Chapter planning committee and to see, first hand, what will need to go into our own hosting of the National Congress in a little over one year from now. This event will bring over 6,000 public works and engineering professionals to the Twin Cities. This will be the third time the Twin Cities has hosted the National Congress event. BUDGET IMPACT Cost of attending the 2015 APWA National Congress is estimated as follows: Conference Registration: $785.00 Lodging (5 nights): $695.00 Approximate Airfare: $300.00 Per Diem: meals included in conference registration Total Estimated Cost: $1,780.00 Funds for attending the 2015 APWA National Congress can be derived from several different departmental budgets benefitting from attending the event. Staff proposes paying $200.00 out of each of the following departments: streets, parks, sanitary sewer utility, storm sewer utility, building official, and planning. The balance of attendance costs would be paid for out of the Engineering budget. There are sufficient funds to cover these expenses in the 2015 budget. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends Council authorize the Public Works Director/City Engineer to attend the 2015 APWA National Congress in Phoenix, Arizona from August 30th — September 2nd, 2015. page 24 5 f. 1101 Victoria Curve I Mendota H ilo 651.452.1850 phone 1 651.452.8940 fax www.mendota-heights.com T mCITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS DATE: April 7, 2015 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Sloan Wallgren, Recreation Program Coordinator SUBJECT: Par 3 Maintenance Contract BACKGROUND The City of Mendota Heights has contracted with GM Management for maintenance of the grounds and equipment of the Par 3 Golf Course since 2008. Previous contracts have included maintenance labor as well as supervision of course maintenance. For the 2015 season, the city will be hiring two part time seasonal Par 3 maintenance workers. The course is still in need of a maintenance supervisor, with knowledge of turf and golf course practices. Staff is recommending a contract with GM Management to continue overseeing maintenance activities on a consultant basis. The attached agreement would retain GM Management for the 2015 golf season as a consultant golf course superintendent, providing insight and suggested activities to city staff. Staff views this agreement as a means to maintain the healthy turf and good playing conditions that have been developed since 2008, while allowing for continued control over the work direction of maintenance staff. BUDGET IMPACT The attached Par 3 Maintenance Consulting Contract is for $6,000 and is included in the 2015 budget. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends entering into a Par 3 Maintenance Consulting Contract. If council wishes to implement this recommendation, pass a motion authorizing staff to enter into an agreement with GM Management of the 2015 season.

Many of our pipes are 60 years old and will soon be in need of repair. Cleaning our sewer system on a regular cycle will help extend the life of the pipes. Televising of the system will show where immediate repairs are needed. Lining pipes in need of repair with cured -in -place - pipe will extend the life of our system and minimize inflow from ground water. The 2015 Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Project consists of lining approximately 4000 feet of sanitary sewer. The locations were determined from the report provided with the 2013 sanitary sewer cleaning and televising project. Staff anticipates lining as many sanitary sewer pipes as possible without exceeding the budgeted amounts with the following priority: 1) Huber Drive from Bent Tree Lane to Cheyenne Lane. 2) Mendota Heights Road from Pilot Knob to Main lift station. 3) Mendota Heights Road from Highway 55 to RJ Ryan site. 4) Rogers Park The completion date for the project is September 30, 2015. Staff expects higher per unit costs for this project due to the repair of larger diameter pipes and high flow rates for the interceptor line. A 2014 Rehabilitation project was also deferred to 2015. BUDGETIMPACT The project costs will be funded through the Sanitary Sewer Utility Fund which has sufficient funds to cover the project costs. The 2014 & 2015 city budget includes $110,000 per year for sanitary sewer lining. The city has also received a grant from the metropolitan council of $27,138.31. Staff has estimated the costs of the 2015 project at $245,460.00. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the council approve the final plans and specifications and authorize staff to advertise for bids. If city council wishes to implement the staff recommendations, pass a motion adopting A RESOLUTION APPROVING FINAL PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS, AND AUTHORIZING ADVERTISEMENT FOR BIDS FOR THE 2015 SANITARY SEWER REHABILITATION PROJECT (PROJECT #201505). This action requires a simple majority vote. page 29 CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS DAKOTA COUNTY, MINNESOTA RESOLUTION 2015-28 A RESOLUTION APPROVING FINAL PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS, AND AUTHORIZING ADVERTIZEMENT FOR BIDS FOR THE 2015 SANITARY SEWER REHABILITATION PROJECT (PROJECT #201505) WHEREAS, the City Engineer reported that the proposed improvements and construction thereof were feasible, desirable, necessary, and cost effective, and further reported on the proposed costs of said improvements and construction thereof, and WHEREAS, the City Council has heretofore directed the City Engineer to proceed with the preparation of plans and specifications thereof, and WHEREAS, the City Engineer has prepared plans and specifications for said improvements and have presented such plans and specifications to the City Council for approval.

Thursday, April 2, 2015 Page I of I 16. Public Comments N• �!Mj'nl WHAT A 10,000 square foot native wildflower garden/meadow at the corner of Dodd and Marie that will (with time) mature into an aesthetically pleasing and environmentally functional demonstration garden. WHY 1) Dodd and Marie is a great location: A high profile corner that will be noticed and appreciated by the community (an average of 10,000 vehicles per day pass by on Dodd Road). Some of us will have the pleasure of driving past this wildflower garden 2-4 times per day! 2) Native wildflowers and grasses offer both beauty and unparalleled functionality: beauty for the community and functionality for water amelioration, food for pollinators and other wildlife. Native plants are best suited for this challenging location—a location that can be both extremely dry and extremely wet from the water that flows through the runoff pond after a heavy rainfall. 3) Beauty + high profile corner = inspiration to residents to plant native wildflowers within and in addition to traditional landscapes. 4) Why to try to inspire such plantings? This is an idea worth spreading. Native plants are the gold standard for providing habitat and sustenance for wildlife. Once established, they are resilient, require little water, and never need fertilizing. Deep roots (some as long as 14 feet) absorb stormwater runoff extremely well. Interpretive signage at the site will explain these benefits. The garden will serve as a showcase for sustainable landscape practices. WHAT's NEXT? 1) Authorize this initiative to move forward at the next council meeting (site prep needs to begin in June). 2) Sign a fiscal agent agreement with Great River Greening. 3) Allow a private fundraiser to take place at the home of Leslie Pilgrim and Ned Rukavina on May 26. Contributions would go to a designated fund at Great River Greening. 4) Agree that the restoration will not be dismantled or disturbed for reasons other than those deemed necessary for water management, public safety, or lack of upkeep. If the restoration is disturbed by the city for management or public safety purposes, the city will agree to restore the wildflower garden to what it was. The city would commit to keeping this garden intact for at least 15 years, with best efforts to keep the restoration intact in perpetuity. 5) Consider the possibility of financing ongoing professional stewardship of the wildflower garden after the 3-5 year establishment period (estimated in today's dollars at $1,000 per year per Prairie Restorations, Inc.). Join us for an exciting evening to learn how you View this email in your browser can help bring more native habitat, clean water, and community spirit to Mendota Heights! Here's Your Chance to be a Part of the Change You Every day, nearly 10,000 vehicles zip by the city -owned parcel of land at the intersection of Dodd Road and Marie Avenue.

Dodd and Marie as it is today: An open field in the summer, mowed down for the winter. Be a part of transforming a portion of this land into a beautiful, functional deep-rooted prairie. A prairie restoration would provide habitat for threatened pollinators -- including native bees, honey bees, and monarchs. It would also provide a filter strip to help absorb run-off before it enters the rate control pond. 3 The site will offer a rich community resource to learn about the impor- tance of a robust suburban ecosystem. Interpretive educational signage will describe the site to passersby.

The 1.48 acre parcel is the site of the city's storm water runoff rate control pond. Installed in2O12,the pond is designed to help control the downstream velocity ofMarie Creek. From this location, the managed water runs along Marie Avenue, through Valley Park, and then ultimately flows directly into the Mississippi River. The 1.48 acre parcel is mostly wooded, with approximately 18,500 square feet comprising open field and the rote control pond. Of this 18.5OOsquare feet, approximately 10,000 square feet is an open field of mixed vegetation dominated by non-native plants ("weeds") with some scattered native plants that remain from an earlier seeding. A variety of native and non- native/invasive plants border the pond, with cattails (presumed tobenon-native\atthe water's edge. The city periodically mows the open field to keep weed seed from invading neighbors' property in the vicinity. The city's Publics Work Director has indicated that all engineering work on the runoff rate control pond is complete and there are no plans to further configure this site. He has also indicated that any re-engineering of Dodd Road by the state at this intersection will not encroach onthe restoration (this will beconfirmed within the next few weeks byJohn Benefits of a Restoration at Marie and Dodd The purpose ofthis correspondence istopropose aplan totransform 1O.O0Osquare feet ofthis 1.48 acne city -owned parcel (referred to as the "open field" in this proposal) to g professionally installed and managed prairie restoration. The parcel's location is particularly appealing for such arestoration for several reasons: eMarie Avenue and Dodd Road is a high-profile, highly visible corner. At this heavily traveled intersection, an average of 9,600 vehicles travel on Dodd Road per day; approximately 3,100 vehicles travel per day on Marie Avenue (Source: Department of Transportation). Considering that the population of Mendota Heights is 11,172 people, the intersection represents a heavily used corridor in the community. A prairie restoration on this particular corner would be noticed and appreciated by the community. eA well managed native planting with good stewardship practices at this site will take the property "off line." Noxious weeds and repeated mowings would be replaced with functional and aesthetic vegetation. A deep-rooted prairie flower/grass planting in the open field space would help in water amelioration and help absorb runoff. Native vegetation on the hillside sloping down to the pond and a wetlands planting around the pond would provide a buffer zone to slow down (and absorb) runoff and a filter strip to help remove contaminants. Considering water from this site flows directly into the Mississippi River, any efforts to absorb storm water or improve water quality is a benefit to both community and the environment. In addition to benefits to water, a prairie restoration would transform a marginal habitat into a robust habitat for endangered pollinators as well as many types of wildlife. As the prairie area would abut approximately an acre of woods, birds would have a "new found appreciation" for existing sheltering trees due to nearby sustenance from native vegetation. eResidents would experience first-hand what a native habitat looks like and its importance in an urban ecosystem. Interpretive signage will help educate community about the benefits of native plantings and their purpose at this site. It is hoped that the restoration would inspire others to install crucial native habitat/rain gardens in their own yards (people do things when they see others doing the same things). As Mendota Heights is a bluff city with much water making its way to the Mississippi River, the cumulative impact of individual homeowners' actions could result in a meaningful improvement in city storm water quality. elt is hoped that this restoration will add to residents' sense of community and community pride. In future years, once the planting is established, community members and groups may coalesce into a "green team" to participate in organized stewardship of the restoration. Estimated Costs In early November, 2014, John Pauley from Prairie Restorations visited the Dodd and Marie site with Leslie Pilgrim. Prairie Restorations is a 37 -year-old business dedicated to the restoration and management of native plant communities. From this visit, a proposal was prepared that describes the restoration process as well as the specific grass and wildflower mixes that would be used in the project. The proposal was prepared with a sensitivity to the types of vegetation that would work best in an urban environment (e.g., grasses and flowers that are of acceptable height and slightly more showy than a traditional native planting). Costs outlined in the proposal (which is included in its entirety at the end of this proposal) are as follows: Site preparation, seeding, erosion control: $4,185 Management*, year one: $300 Year two: $600 Year three: $600 Total for three years: $5,685 *Management fees are estimates. Management includes site monitoring, prescribed burnings, mowing, spot spraying and spot mowing, and hand weeding as needed. Stewardship Initial elimination of the weed seed bank will be crucial to the success of the restoration. And intense front-end stewardship will help ensure weeds are kept at bay. [Note: In particular, the site has attracted invasive, non-native thistle which are particularly challenging to permanently remove.] Prairie restorations require three to five years of intense, knowledgeable stewardship. Ongoing stewardship of this site, however, beyond the initial three to five years, is imperative as there is no such thing as a "maintenance free" garden of any type. The more professional the installation, the less intense the maintenance in future years, and the greater the chance of success of the planting. Therefore, any funds raised (fundraising will be addressed later in this proposal) in support of the Marie and Dodd restoration that exceed the initial $5,685 cost suggested by Prairie Restorations, would be used to fund additional professional stewardship of this site. It should be noted that although it is proposed Prairie Restorations be responsible for installation and initial stewardship of approximately 10,000 square feet of the Dodd and Marie parcel, the city of Mendota Heights will be involved and in control of this city -owned property. Proposal The city of Mendota Heights has indicated it has no funds to support this proposal. However, the location of this city -owned land and its potential environmental and community benefit make it a compelling resource, despite the lack of (or minimal) city financial support (although support may come in other forms as detailed later in this proposal). Therefore, Mendota Heights residents and long-time community members, Leslie Pilgrim and Ned Rukavina, propose a grass-roots, community-based fundraising effort to pay for Prairie Resotrations' services. The fundraiser would take place in late February 2015 and would be held at the home of Leslie Pilgrim and Ned Rukavina (referred to as "Fund Raisers" later in this proposal). Mendota Heights resident and professional development director, Lisa Lane, would assist in the planning of the fundraiser (without charging for her services). It is hoped that this one fundraiser, alone, would raise enough funds to support Prairie Restorations' proposal. The fundraiser would not be widely advertised nor widely promoted, but would be based on networking, word-of-mouth, and the grassroots efforts of Lisa Lane, Ned Rukavina, and Leslie Pilgrim. Although the fundraising event will be kept to a manageable size, it is hoped that the city of Mendota Heights would encourage community financial support on its Facebook page and in several of its seasonal newsletters. Responsibilities of Fund Raisers 1) Conduct a February, 2O1S.fund raiser intheir home. Fund Raisers will pay for food and beverage for the event aowell aSmaterials used inopresentation. 2) Volunteer their time as necessary in the coordination of the contract between the city ofMendota Heights and Prairie Restorations, Inc. 3\ Provide best efforts to coordinate a volunteer "Green Squad" or "Green Teams" that would take over stewardship ofthe Dodd and Marie restoration if/when Prairie Restorations iyno longer contracted to do so. 4\ Donate time onanongoing basis toensure the Dodd and Marie restoration isa success. Responsibilities of the City of Mendota Heights I\ Sign a contract with Prairie Restorations in the amount of the funds specifically raised for the Dodd and Marie restoration. At a bare minimum, this contract would beinthe amount of$4,}85.Funds raised inexcess ofthe $4,185 would beitemized inthe contract as man agern ent/stewardsh ip costs reserved for subsequent years. Z\ Provide a city employee to attend the fundraiser and to answer city -related questions. This individual will tally contributions with the Fund Raisers at the end of the event to determine additional amounts to raise in subsequent efforts, if necessary. 3\ Set up a specific account/fund in the city's record keeping which tracks all inflows and outflows ofthis project, /ncludingonyfundsreceivec/fhon7otherogencies.Any contributions tothis project vvou|d beguaranteed tonever beconming|edwith other city funds. 4) Provide o city -produced receipt to any individual/business that contributes any amount to the Dodd and Marie fund. This receipt would be mandated to be provided even ifthe contributor does not request one. 5) Provide onannual accounting ofthe Dodd and Marie fund tothe Fund Raisers. Fund Raisers do not request access to the identity of contributors, but require access to inflow and outflow information. This accounting will beprovided for the first five years ofthis project. G\ After Prairie Restorations' maintenance agreement ends, the city will offer reasonable support of the Dodd and Marie property, such as future burns (conducted by the Fire Department once approximately every two years, guided by an informed volunteer) and/or periodic mowing as recommended byPrairie Restorations. /Note: city mowing would take place at this site even ifthere was no restoration so additional cost 10the city should benminimng|\.Watering ofthe site bythe city may be necessary ifthe restoration becomes imperiled due tmlack ofrainfall. 7\ Offer assurances that the restoration will not be "dismantled" or disturbed for reasons other than those deemed tobenecessary for water management orpublic safety. |fthe restoration isdisturbed, the city will agree tobe financially responsible for restoring habitat to what it was. The city will guarantee that the Dodd and Marie 10,000 square foot prairie restoration will remain intact as a community resource (with best efforts to keep habitat in the surrounding 1.48 acre parcel intact, as well) for at least 15 years, with best efforts to keep the restoration intact in perpetuity. 8) Cover the costs of interpretive signage (somewhat similar to the signage at Rogers Lake Park) and install such signage. Donors contributing $500 or more toward the restoration will have their names mentioned in special section of the signage. 9) Consider a financial contribution to this project. 10) Help seek out other funding for this project, such as may be available through sources like the Soil and Water Conservation District's retrofit fund, etc. [Note: Update April 6, 2015. The city has not agreed to any of the above items except it has indicated #7 above is reasonable as well as possibly #9 for funding of future stewardship once the site is established] [Note: The rate control pond itself would remain the responsibility of the city. Any cattails that accumulate in the pond (from upstream seed), would need to be monitored by the city and removed as necessary to prevent sediment accumulation—a situation that exists for the city regardless of the outcome of this proposal.] We look forward to this unique city -community collaboration. It is our belief that there is ample community interest in a project such as this one and that fundraising goals have a good chance of being met. Next steps would involve a discussion of this proposal. After reviewing, we would ultimately like the city to sign an updated draft of this document that meets both the Fund Raisers' and the city's approval. Once signed by both the city and the Fund Raisers, Fund Raisers would contact Prairie Restorations to be on "stand-by" for this project, start planning immediately for the fundraiser, conduct the fundraiser, and then assess any further steps that would need to be taken to meet the goals of starting this project in the spring, 2015. Thank you for your review of this proposal. We look forward to your response.

Company Background: http://www.prairieresto.com/mission.shtml (Follow the blue links to learn more) Prairie Restorations, Inc. (PRI) has been dedicated to the restoration and management of native plant communities for over 37 years. We are fortunate to have worked with thousands of clients on a wide variety of projects in both the public and private sectors throughout the Upper Midwest. The PRI staff currently consists of 45 full-time professionals and about an equal number of seasonal employees which operate out of six Minnesota locations. Most of the staff has B.S. degrees in natural resource related fields such as biology, forestry, horticulture or wildlife. As a full service restoration company, PRI is able to provide our clients expertise and service in all facets of native landscape restoration. Along with consulting, design, installation and land management services, we also produce our own local ecotype seed and plant materials which are used on all of our projects. The PRI Team is committed to and passionate about protecting and enhancing our valuable natural resources. It is this dedication that is brought to each and every one of our projects. We are proud to offer the best expertise, services and products - - available in the industry and appreciate the opportunity to provide you with this proposal. B. Project Overview: 1. Establishing a native landscape (httn://www.prairieresto.com/establish landscape.shtml) in this area will provide a long term, ecologically sound landscape that is adapted to the existing conditions of the site. This native landscape will not require irrigation, black dirt or other soil amendments. It will add a distinctive look to the site as well as provide valuable habitat for songbirds and butterflies. 2. To establish this planting, the site will be treated with herbicide to kill existing weeds, tilled and harrowed to provide a smooth seedbed, seeded with native grasses and wildflowers, and mulched with straw to protect the seeding and enhance germination. 3. An estimate for 3 years of Establishment Period Vegetation Management is included in this proposal. C. Site preparation: http://www.prairieresto.com/installation preparation.shtml 1. Any grading that needs to be done to reshape banks or otherwise alter the existing grades should be done before the project commences (to be done by others). 2 2. Next spring, allow regrowth to occur. Apply a glyphosate herbicide (Roundup" or equivalent) and a triclopyr herbicide (Garlon 3A" or equivalent) with appropriate surfactants, as per manufacturer's directions to the actively growing vegetation. Allow a minimum of 30 days before disturbing the site with other procedures. 3. Remove the dead vegetation by implementing a controlled burn using appropriate procedures, equipment and permits. 4. Disk or till the soil to stimulate weed seed germination. 5. Allow the vegetation to regrow and again apply a glyphosate herbicide (Roundup" or equivalent) and a triclopyr herbicide (Garlon 3A" or equivalent) with appropriate surfactants, as per manufacturer's directions. Allow a minimum of 30 days before disturbing the vegetation with other procedures. 6. Before planting, harrow or rake the soil to create a smooth seedbed. D. Seed and Seeding: http://www.prairieresto.com/installation seedine.shtml 1. Acceptable seeding dates for native species are in the spring or summer before August 10th or in the fall between September 20th and freeze-up. This project would likely be seeded in summer of 2015. 2. All seed will be applied by broadcasting. 3. A harrowing or raking will follow all grass seeding. 4. The seed mixes will consist of the following species and amounts: Grass Seed Ibs./project area Canada wild rye (Elymus canadensis).................................................. 0.5 lbs PRI Short Dry Grass Mix: 46% Little bluestem, 34% Side oats grama, 8% Blue grama by PLS weight. 4% Kalm's brome, 4% Poverty oat grass, 2% Sand dropseed, 2% Prairie dropseed by bulk weight ..................... 5 lbs PRI Shoreline Grass Mix: 12% Green bulrush, 12% Wool grass, 10% Blue joint grass by PLS weight. 10% Giant bur -reed, 8% Knotsheath sedge 8% Pointed broom sedge, 8% Tall manna grass, 6% Virginia wild rye, 5% Fringed brome, 5% Soft -stemmed bulrush, 4% Bebb's sedge, 4% Fox sedge, 4% Dudley's rush, 4% Cord grass, by bulk weight ................................. 1 Ib Wildflower Seed oz./project area Giant hyssop (Agastache foeniculum).................................................. 1 oz Leadplant (Amorphs canescens)........................................................... 1 oz Canada anemone (Anemone canadensis)............................................ 1 oz Butterfly weed (Asclepias tuberosa)..................................................... 2 oz Azure aster (Aster oolentangiensis)...................................................... 2 oz Stiff tickseed (Coreopsis palmata)........................................................ 2 oz Rattlesnake master (Eryngium yuccifolium)......................................... 1 oz Yellowish gentian (Gentiana alba) ........................................................ 2 oz Stiff sunflower (Helianthus rigidus)...................................................... 0.5 oz Common ox -eye (Heliopsis helianthoides)............................................ 0.5 oz Bush clover (Lespedeza capitata)......................................................... 1 oz Wild lupine (Lupinus perennis)............................................................. 2 oz Wild bergamot (Monarda fistulosa)..................................................... 0.25 oz Purple prairie clover (Petalostemum purpureum) ................................ 2 oz Yellow coneflower (Rotibida pinnata).................................................. 0.5 oz Black-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta)...................................................... 1 oz Showy goldenrod (Solidago speciosa).................................................. 1 oz Spiderwort (Tradescantia occidentalis) ................................................ 1 oz Golden alexanders (Zizia aurea)........................................................... 2 oz PRI Tall Wet Wildflower Mix: 10% Blue vervain, 8%Joe-pye weed, 8% Tall blazing star, 8% Mountain mint, 6% Swamp milkweed, 6% Black-eyed Susan, 5% Boneset, 5% Golden alexander, 4% Common ox -eye, 4% Blue flag iris, 4% Ironweed, 3% Sweet flag, 3% Canada tick trefoil, 3% Sneezeweed, 3% Giant sunflower, 3% Meadow blazing star, 3% Stiff goldenrod, 3% Culver's root, 2% Smooth aster, 2% New England aster, 2% Purple prairie clover, 2% Tall meadow rue, 1% Grass -leaved goldenrod, 1% Northern bedstraw, 1% Swamp goldenrod, all by bulk weight ................... 3 oz E. Erosion Control: htta://www.arairieresto.com/installation erosion.shtml Cover crop will be sown along with the native grasses. 2. The seeded areas will be mulched with clean straw at a rate of 1.5 tons per acre. F. Management: htto://www.arairieresto.com/management overview.shtml 1. Management (maintenance) plays a vital role in the eventual success of any native landscape installation, especially during the establishment period. 2. During the first growing season the project area may need to be mowed to control annual weed development. If a "closed" canopy of weed cover develops, it should be mowed to aid in the growth of the prairie seedlings by reducing competition. Mowing may also be necessary if the weeds are about to set seed. Optimum cutting height, depending on the wildflower species present, is typically 4 to 6 inches. Mowings done by PRI will be billed separately unless they are included as part of the installation El contract. 3. In years following the first growing season, management services could include site monitoring, prescribed burning, mowing, spot spraying, spot mowing, herbicide wicking or hand weeding. PRI provides estimates for management services on an annual basis prior to the growing season. Most of these services are billed on a time and materials basis and the annual estimates are not exceeded without client approval. Some services such prescribed burning are provided as a lump sum cost. A summary of billing rates and materials costs will be provided with the estimate. G. Costs: The work as outlined above can be completed for the lump sum of ................................. $4,185 First year maintenance estimate.................................................................. $300 Second year maintenance estimate............................................................. $600 Third year maintenance estimate................................................................. $600 OLM16t, MUM, 9MOL6t, 6VRM6t, MOM, M 0 co is co � \k ; 0 CD co m M 0 $ 20 9/�2 m .2 w z \ 7 $ S ( Cd x < / i J Jd 9 CL J Z E 90 z 0 M.ZT Z E6 -40 0 U) ci 0 CD D) 0 co 0 a) C) 0 cx a ;s V) 0 > p Lu U) 0(3 w (1) 42 — W0 a)a-M Co w L, 0 13 — q) 2 0 V (D 0 V; �5 V a) *0 a) V [2 0-0 :3 N . — - 0) w :5 E cj .9; tm E CL Cc, w a) a -P 9 (6 .5 U z CML 0 cc = —'0 :a, am) a) a CV 0 E CL M 0 12 .2 8 u-, a) m w m 0 E "m (D V 00 CD C) 0) 0 0 w v E m (D W L) (D �!

This impressive donation of time was accomplished by Volunteer Reserve Captain Jerry Murphy, Reserve Sergeant Randy Pentel, Reserve Officers George Castillo, Jim Knox, Jeffrey Parker, and Volunteer Coordinator Becky Pentel. In November of 2014 Reserve Officer George Castillo accepted a full time job as a Deputy with the Dakota County Sheriff's Department. George became a Mendota Heights Reserve Officer in 2011. He has been a great asset to the Reserve program. He represented the department on numerous occasions at city events and details. George earned the Presidential volunteer service bronze award each of the 4 years he served. BACKGROUND: All Mendota Heights Reserve Officer are non -licensed and volunteer members of the Police Department. They perform non -precarious Police functions in support of the full time staff. They primarily assist at city events, with crime prevention efforts and in support of the patrol division as extra eyes and ears on the street. The unit has performed dozens of transports to jail and detox allowing full time Officers to stay back in the city available to respond to emergencies. They participate in ongoing training within the department as well as jointly with other Reserve units from northern Dakota County. Reserve Officers are not trained or authorized to do the majority of the functions of a full time Officer, however they are invaluable because they allow the full time Officers more time to focus on protecting the lives and property of the citizens of the communities we patrol. In reviewing the great accomplishments of the unit and its dedicated members we wanted to recognize their efforts formally in front of the Mayor, Council and the citizens who benefit from the services they provide. Again this year we would like to honor our members who donated a very large amount of their personal time to the city by presenting them with the Presidents Volunteer Service Award. The President's Volunteer Service Award recognizes individuals and page 45 groups that have achieved a certain standard — measured by the number of hours of service over a 12 -month period. The award consists of: 1. An official President's Volunteer Service award lapel pin 2. A personalized certificate of achievement 3. A congratulatory letter from President Obama The Bronze award is presented to a volunteer who donates between 100 and 249 hours. The silver award is presented to volunteers who donate between 250 and 499 hours and the gold award is given to those who donate 500 or more hours in a calendar year. The lifetime award goes to a volunteer that donates in excess of 4000 hours in a lifetime. RECOMMENDATION: If the Council agrees with the recommendations the following Reserve Officers should be presented by the Mayor with the aforementioned awards for their service to the city of Mendota Heights. Based on the hours volunteered during 2014 the Police Department will be presenting the following Reserve Officers with the following awards; a. Randy Pentel — Presidential Gold 1036 hours b. Jim Knox — Presidential Silver 415 hours c. Becky Pentel — Presidential Silver 323 hours d. Jeff Parker — Presidential Silver 274 hours e.

A variance request for a similar project was approved in 2008, as part of Planning Case 2008-12. According to Title 12 -1L -5(F) of the City Code, a variance becomes void one year after approval unless made use of within the year or a longer period prescribed by the Council. No action was taken since the original approval and an extension was not granted by the City Council; therefore a new variance request must be considered. The proposed addition would extend the northeast corner of the building an additional 40.5 feet to the east along the existing north wall, which creates a side yard setback of approximately 21'-0518". Asa result, the variance request is for approximately 19 feet for the side yard abutting Mendota Heights Road. According to the applicant, the proposed addition is necessary to accommodate additional office space in alignment with the existing building. The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing at the March 24 meeting; there were no public comments. BUDGETIMPACT N/A RECOMMENDATION The Planning Commission recommended approval of the variance request, with conditions, as described in Planning Case 2015-05. If the City Council desires to implement the recommendation, pass a motion adopting RESOLUTION 2015-26 APPROVING A VARIANCE AT 2515 PILOT KNOB ROAD. This matter requires a simple majority vote. page 47 CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS DAKOTA COUNTY, MINNESOTA RESOLUTION 2015-26 RESOLUTION APPROVING A VARIANCE AT 2515 PILOT KNOB ROAD WHEREAS, Alltech Engineering Corporation, on behalf of Mendota Management, LLC, has applied for an approximately nineteen -foot (19) variance from the side yard setback standards in order to construct an addition to the existing office/warehouse building at 2515 Pilot Knob Road as proposed in Planning Case 2015-05 and described in Exhibit A; and WHEREAS, the Mendota Heights Planning Commission held a public hearing on this matter at their regular meeting on March 24, 2015. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Mendota Heights City Council that the variance request as proposed in Planning Case 2015-05 is hereby approved with the following findings of fact: 1. The proposed addition is a reasonable use of the property, meets the purpose and intent of the City Code, and is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. 2. The improvements to Mendota Heights Road created a unique circumstance upon the property not created by the applicant. 3. The building's location on a corner lot with an existing encroachment is a unique circumstance not created by the applicant. 4. The proposed addition represents a small increased encroachment into the side yard while still maintaining a large front yard setback. 5. The applicant has considered alternatives to the proposed addition. 6. The proposed addition will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, by the Mendota Heights City Council that the variance request as proposed in Planning Case 2015-05 is hereby approved with the following conditions: 1. A building permit be obtained prior to construction of the addition. 2. The applicant shall submit grading plans and a dimensioned site plan with associated easements, subject to review and approval by the City Engineering Department as part of any building permit application. 3. Any land disturbance activities must be in compliance with the City's Land Disturbance Guidance document. Adopted by the City Council of the City of Mendota Heights this seventh day of April, 2015.

BACKGROUND The subject parcel is 4.34 acres (189,067 square feet) and contains an existing office/warehouse building on the southwest corner of the Pilot Knob Road/Mendota Heights Road intersection. The parcel is zoned and guided as I -Industrial. The applicants intend to construct an approximately 2,363 -square foot (40'-6" by 59'-4") addition to the northeast corner of the building. The north side of the addition would encroach into the side yard setback along Mendota Heights Road. A variance request for a similar project was approved in 2008, as part of Planning Case 2008-12. According to Title 12 -1L -5(F) of the City Code, a variance becomes void one year after approval unless made use of within the year or a longer period prescribed by the Council. No action was taken since the original approval and an extension was not granted by the City Council; therefore a new variance request must be considered. ANALYSIS Comprehensive Plan The subject parcel is guided I -Industrial in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. The applicant's request to construct an addition to the existing building is consistent with the continued use as an office/warehouse. Side Yard Setback Variance Title 12 -1G -17(G) of the City Code requires a 40 -foot side yard setback abutting a street in the Industrial District. The existing building's side yard setback along Mendota Heights Road ranges from 22.8' to 21'- 35 8'. Due to the building's angle in relation to the right-of-way, the setback is inconsistent along the 250 feet of existing frontage (see Site Plan). page 49 Industrial Zoning District Setbacks Yard Standard om 1 1 1 Front Yard (Pilot Knob Road) 40' 94'-6" Side Yard (Mendota Heights Road) 40' 21'-5/8" Side Yard (Interior) 30' 167.1' Rear Yard 50' 202' Source: Title 12 -IG -17(G) The proposed addition would extend the northeast corner of the building an additional 40.5 feet to the east along the existing north wall, which creates a side yard setback of approximately 21'-0518". Asa result, the variance request is for approximately 19 feet for the side yard abutting Mendota Heights Road. As shown in the table above, the proposed addition meets the Industrial District's other setback requirements. According to the applicant, the proposed addition is necessary to accommodate additional office space in alignment with the existing building. As shown in the attached floor plans, the proposed addition would expand the existing office area and better serve the needs of the company and employees. When considering a variance for the proposed addition, the City is required to find that: 1. The request is in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the ordinance and comprehensive plan and the applicant proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner. An expansion of the existing office/warehouse building in the Industrial District is a reasonable use of the property and consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The existing building is non -conforming from the required side yard setback along Mendota Heights Road and the proposed addition would encroach only three inches further than the existing condition. 2. The applicant establishes there are practical difficulties with complying with the ordinance due to circumstances that are unique to the property which are not created by the applicant or based on economic considerations; The building was purchased by the applicant in 1995 and the north building wall has remained in its existing location along Mendota Heights Road. It is unknown what the Industrial District's side yard setback standards were when the building was originally constructed in 1965. Therefore, the building's location on a corner lot with an existing encroachment is a unique circumstance not created by the applicant. The applicant has established that practical difficulties exist in expanding the building to fit their current needs in compliance with the Code's side yard setback standards. As noted in the applicant's letter of intent, other design alternatives were considered as part of the 2008 application review process. An alternate addition constructed on the east end of the building, in compliance with the side yard setback standards, would require the existing entrance to be relocated, mature trees to be removed, and be disruptive to the business operations. However, the potential cost of a compliant expansion project cannot be considered as a finding for approval of the variance request in this case. 3. The request will not alter the essential character of the locality. The proposed project to extend the existing north building wall along Mendota Heights Road, with an insignificant increase in encroachment from the existing condition, will not negatively impact the surrounding properties. In addition, the property will still maintain a front yard setback of nearly 100 feet from Pilot Knob Road with a maintained lawn and mature trees to offset the extended encroachment along Mendota Heights Road. page 50 ALTERNATIVES Following a public hearing, the Planning Commission may consider the following actions: 1. Recommend approval of the variance request for construction of an addition within the required side yard setback area based on the attached findings of fact, with conditions. CIT 2. Recommend denial of the variance request for construction of an addition within the required side yard setback area based on the findings of fact that a practical difficulty is not established and expansion alternatives exist that do not require a side yard setback variance. CIT 3. Table the request. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the variance request for construction of the proposed addition within the required side yard setback area based on the attached findings of fact (Alternative #1), with the following conditions: 1. A building permit be obtained prior to construction of the addition. 2. The applicant shall submit grading plans and a dimensioned site plan with associated easements, subject to review and approval by the City Engineering Department as part of any building permit application. 3. Any land disturbance activities must be in compliance with the City's Land Disturbance Guidance document. MATERIALS INCLUDED FOR REVIEW 1. Aerial site map 2. Site photos 3.

The building currently has a setback of 2 F- 3 5/8" or greater on its north side along a length of 250' of Mendota Heights Road. The proposed expansion would extend the length of the building no more than 40'6" at the existing setback. At the northeast corner of the addition the setback would be 2 F- 0 5/8". The building was constructed prior to an extension of Mendota Heights Road which created the current setback requirement. This same variance request was granted in 2008 by Mendota Heights City Council, but because of the recession Alltech Engineering Corp did not move forward with the addition at that time. Instead, other less costly improvements were made within the existing structure that expanded office space. Once again, due to growth, Alltech must expand its office. This location is Alltech Engineering's corporate headquarters. It is Alltech's goal to continue to grow in this location, if expansion is feasible. The request for variance is based on practical difficulties for Mendota Management and its sole tenant, Alltech Engineering Corp. These difficulties include: 1) We have reviewed a variety of options for expanding the building using the open space at the East end of the property. It is our assessment that all other options beside the proposed expansion would create significant disruption to Alltech's operations and/or substantial additional construction cost. Disruption to Alltech's operations would be most severe during the construction process, and might require the company's temporary relocation. 2) The zoning change limits Mendota Managements ability to expand the building in accordance with original expansion plans for the property. These limitations include moving the building's entrance, potential encroachment on the sidewalk and parking surface, and changes to the property's landscaping that will both result in additional cost and degrade the property's appearance. Because of our desire to protect our property value, we have also considered the issue of preserving the neighborhood's character. The expanded building will still have a 94'6" setback from Pilot Knob Road with a maintained lawn and mature trees. Other plans we explored do not allow preservation of either a contiguous lawn near the building's entrance or preservation of mature trees of similar type and age as those on adjacent properties. Thank you for your consideration of our request.

You may fill in this form or create your own. 1. In your opinion, does the proposal put the property to use in a reasonable manner? 0 YES ❑ NO Why or why not? Yes, the addition adds eight offices. This will allow Alltech Engineering Corp to continue to grow its corporate headquarters at its current location. Currently, Alltech has no room to add additional office staff, because all cubicles and offices are being used. The addition follows the existing building wall on the north side of the property and preserves the character of the lot. Finally, this proposal was deemed reasonable by Mendota Heights City Council in 2008, when they approved this same variance request. z. viease aescripe the circumstances unique to the property Inot createa Dv vou). The building was built in 1965, 30 years before Alltech took possession of the building in 1995. The existing building walls have not changed. Furthermore, Mendota Heights Road was widened and a sidewalk added to create the current 21' 3 5/8" setback. An addition has been considered on the other side of the front of the building, but it doesn't flow with the current entrance or walkway, and would cause the removal of mature trees from the lot. Furthermore, a front addition on the south side of the building would be so disruptive to our operations during construction, that we would have to consider moving. Many other addition plans have been considered, but because of practical difficulties, this plan is the least disruptive to our existing front office space. 3. In your opinion, will the variance, if granted, fit with the character of the neighborhood? O YES ❑ NO or wnv nor! Yes, if granted, the building will fit the character of the neighborhood. The office will have a new modern, front facade and better curb appeal. The Planning Commission must make an affirmative finding on all of the criteria listed above in order to grant a variance. The applicant for a variance has the burden of proof to show that all of the criteria listed above have been satisfied.

In addition, construction of single-family dwellings on the newly -created parcels will cause soil disturbance and vegetation removal within a wetland/water resource -related area, which requires a wetlands permit. The proposed parcels meet the R -I Zoning District's lot size and width requirements. The applicant has also provided information regarding the proposed location of the new dwellings, which would comply with the required setback standards. Marie Creek runs through the northwest corner of the subject parcel. As a result, much of the rear yards of the newly -created parcels are located within the 100 -foot wetland/water resource -related buffer area. Based on the proposed building pads, construction of the new dwellings on both parcels will require grading and vegetation removal within this area; therefore a wetlands permit is required. After construction, vegetation is proposed to be replanted within the disturbed area and adequate erosion control measures will be installed during construction. The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing at the March 24 meeting. Neighboring property owners commented on the implications of lot splits in the city and the location of the proposed dwellings on the lots. BUDGETIMPACT N/A RECOMMENDATION The Planning Commission recommended approval of the lot split conditions, as described in Planning Case 2015-07. If the City recommendation, pass a motion adopting RESOLUTION 2015-27 WETLANDS PERMIT AT 747 WILLOW LANE. This matter requires a simple majority vote. and wetlands permit requests, with Council desires to implement the APPROVING A LOT SPLIT AND page 67 CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS DAKOTA COUNTY, MINNESOTA RESOLUTION 2015-27 RESOLUTION APPROVING A LOT SPLIT AND WETLANDS PERMIT AT 747 WILLOW LANE WHEREAS, Elevation Homes has applied for a lot split and wetlands permit to demolish the existing dwelling and construct two new single-family dwellings at 747 Willow Lane as proposed in Planning Case 2015-07 and described in Exhibit A; and WHEREAS, the Mendota Heights Planning Commission held a public hearing on this matter at their regular meeting on March 24, 2015. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Mendota Heights City Council that the lot split and wetlands permit requests as proposed in Planning Case 2015-07 are hereby approved with the following findings of fact: 1.

If the requests are approved, the existing dwelling would be demolished and two new single-family homes would be constructed within the building pads shown on the proposed Building Exhibit. ANALYSIS Comprehensive Plan The subject parcel is guided LR, Low Density Residential in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. The applicant's request to subdivide the subject parcel into two parcels, consisting of approximately 0.60 acres each, is consistent with the LR maximum density of 2.9 units per acre. Lot Split Title 11-3-2 of the City Code (Subdivision Ordinance) allows the subdivision of parcels, provided that the resulting lots are compliant with the requirements of the applicable zoning district. According to the Certificate of Survey included as part of the application submittal, and shown in the table below, both proposed parcels meet the R-1 lot standards. page 71 R-1 Zoning District Standards Standard Lot Area 15,000 sq. ft. 25,903 sq. ft. 26,533 sq. ft. (0.34 acres) (0.59 acres) (0.61 acres) Lot Width 100 ft. 106.8 ft. 105.2 ft. Source: Building Exhibit/Certificate of Survey The proposed Building Exhibit includes the required setbacks for future principal structures on the newly - created parcels; actual compliance will be verified upon submission of building permit applications based on the proposed dwellings' design. Wetlands Permit The purpose of the Wetlands Systems Chapter of the City Code is to (Title 12-2-1): • Provide for protection, preservation, maintenance, and use wetlands and water resource -related areas; • Maintain the natural drainage system; • Minimize disturbance which may result from alteration by earthwork, loss of vegetation, loss of wildlife and aquatic organisms as a result of the disturbance of the natural environment or from excessive sedimentation; • Provide for protection of potable fresh water supplies; and • Ensure safety from floods. As shown in the attached maps, the 100 -foot wetland/water resource -related area encompasses the northwest portion of the subject parcel. Based on the proposed building pads, construction of the new dwellings on Parcels A and B will require grading and vegetation removal within this area; therefore a wetlands permit is required. According to the applicant, up to seven substantial, healthy trees will be removed. Associated grading will disturb other insignificant ground vegetation on both parcels, much of which is dead or dying (see attached photos). In addition, the following is the proposed scope of further disturbance in the impacted area: "The area is currently a combination of overgrown woods and yard. We anticipate some re -grading on our sites that would mitigate the topography change currently on the lots (especially on Parcel A) and allow the yard to be more usable. We would grade into the 100 foot buffer to clean up the vegetation and allow the woods to grow healthier (clean up brush, noxious weeds, etc). The hope is that at the end of the project the yards would be more usable, but the trees and woods would be healthier based on us cleaning up the overgrowth. " After construction, vegetation is proposed to be replanted within the disturbed area. Proposed erosion control measures are shown on the Building Exhibit, which will be reviewed in greater detail by the Engineering Department as part of the building permit applications. Stream bank erosion has taken place along Marie Creek in the past. The 25 -foot non -disturb buffer area that is now part of the wetlands permit review process helps to protect stream banks from surface runoff caused by impervious surfaces. With the non -disturb area in place, erosion is more likely to be caused by the velocity of water moving within the creek itself than is likely from surface runoff. ALTERNATIVES 1. Recommend approval of the subdivision and wetlands permit requests, based on the attached findings of fact that, with conditions. / '1 page 72 2. Recommend denial of the subdivision and wetlands permit request, based on the finding of fact that the proposed subdivision and associated construction activities are not consistent with the City Code or Comprehensive Plan.

Food trucks are not currently addressed in our City Code. Last summer, staff administratively -approved food trucks on a case-by-case basis to allow them to be located on private property. We had no issues with the food trucks. At the 2014 Council Goal Setting session, the Council discussed revisions to the Code regarding peddlers, solicitors and transient merchants and directed staff to bring back some revisions. The current language is very confusing for staff and the public to interpret. Staff has been working with City Attorney Tom Lehmann to revise the language so that it better reflects and clearly states the intent of the Council. Food Trucks A new section of Code being proposed would allow for food trucks to be located on private property in the Industrial Zoning District. It is proposed that the food truck owner be required to register with the city, along with submitting a copy of their current state food truck license and proof of liability insurance. This would allow city staff to provide them with the city's regulations that are included in this proposed ordinance. No fee for registering a food truck would be required. The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing to discuss the proposed mobile food truck amendments, as included in Section 7 of DRAFT Ordinance 475, at the March 24 meeting; there were no public comments. The Planning Commission recommended the following revisions, which are underlined in the DRAFT: • Section 2 and Section 7: Revised the mobile food truck definition and purpose to specifically reference the Industrial District — not the entire City, as originally written. • Section 7(A): Clarified that registration is required annually for each site the vendor operates. • Section 7(13)(2): Revised "proper" licenses to "required" licenses. • Section 7(B)(6): Exempted existing tables and chairs and further defined areas where tables/chairs are not permitted. In addition, after consultation with the City Attorney, staff is proposing an additional amendment that would allow mobile food trucks on private properties outside of the Industrial District for special events once per year. Registration and compliance with the operational requirements would still be required. page 86 Soliciting The proposed ordinance would repeal Section 3.3 of the Code and replace it with language that more clearly states that the City does not allow peddlers or transient merchants. This is not a change from the previous ordinance which was adopted in November of 2011. This new ordinance would not allow solicitors who are engaged in any commercial type of activity. The ordinance would still allow non-commercial door-to-door advocates who are exercising their Federal constitutional rights such as freedom of speech, press, or religion. Also still allowed would be fundraising activity for a school, religious organization, or a service organization. Also, any utility service provider who has a franchise agreement with the city would still be allowed to go door-to-door to sell or inform residents of their services. As proposed in Section 6, the proposed time to allow non-commercial soliciting is proposed to be from 9:00 am to one half hour before sunset. The previous ordinance did not specify the hours allowed. RECOMMENDATION City staff is recommending the Council adopt Ordinance 475 Amending Section 3-3 of the City Code Concerning Peddlers, Solicitors, Transient Merchants, and Food Trucks, and approve the summary publication. The summary publication requires a 4/5t1 vote of the Council. page 87 CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS DAKOTA COUNTY, MINNESOTA ORDINANCE NO. 475 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 3-3 OF THE CITY CODE OF THE CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS, MINNESOTA, DAKOTA COUNTY, CONCERNING PEDDLERS, SOLICITORS, TRANSIENT MERCHANTS, and FOOD TRUCKS The City Council of the City of Mendota Heights, Minnesota, does hereby ordain: Section 1.
