PULLED CONSENT AGENDA ITEM
A) APPROVAL OF SEPTEMBER 5, 2017 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
Councilmember Duggan requested that the September 5, 2017 City Council minutes be tabled to the
next meeting to allow staff time to review them, specifically the discussion of the PUD agreement with
Michael Development of MN, LLC. He believed there were things in the minutes that were inaccurate or
require clarification and other items that were missing.
The item that troubled him the most was that issues were raised by members of the Council and Mr.
Mike Swenson of Michael Development of MN, LLC did not come forward to address the issues. The
same was true back in June 2017. Realizing that this is a project proposal in excess of $20 million, he
felt there should be more time spent on this topic.
Councilmember Petschel asked if the minutes were inaccurate. Councilmember Duggan replied that the
word inaccurate is probably inappropriate. He said, for example, that it seemed to be stated that the
materials presented at the last Council meeting were not that dissimilar or fairly consistent with the first
proposal. Councilmember Duggan did not agree with that, and in reviewing the material, he felt that
they are so vastly different.
Councilmember Petschel stated that it appears to her to be a matter of opinion. She stated that she is not
open to going back and rehashing that discussion. If there were an inaccuracy in the minutes, she would
be agreeable to Councilmember Duggan reviewing the tape to address that with staff.
Councilmember Duggan referenced the presentation date in June. He said that the materials presented in
January and June were ‘concepts’ – there were no measurements in any of those plans. The first actual
plan was created at the end of July. To say that they were similar or consistent when they did not include
any measurements, information, or setbacks, etc. is not correct at all. Also, to say that the City is
deficient and in need of apartment spaces, he disagrees with that.
Councilmember Paper noted that the Council spent a lot of time discussing this project and he believes
that the Council is moving in the right direction.
page 4
Mayor Garlock stated he agreed that the Council is looking more closely at the numbers now as the
project moves forward and there would be some tweaking.
Councilmember Duggan said that he was in agreement with the plan to remove the motel and redevelop
the area. He stated that he believes that since the Council provided TIF money, the City should not allow
reducing of the setbacks.
Councilmember Petschel moved to table the minutes to allow Councilmember Duggan time to work
with staff to verify if there are inaccuracies, not in difference of opinion but in actual inaccuracies.
Mayor Garlock seconded the motion.
Ayes: 3
Nays: 0
Abstain: 1 (Duggan)
Absent: 1 (Miller)
D) ACCEPT NOTICE OF RETIREMENT OF GEORGE NOACK, AND AUTHORIZE STAFF TO
BEGIN RECRUITMENT OF A PUBLIC WORKS LEADWORKER
Councilmember Duggan noted that Mr. Noack is one of the mainstays in the Public Works Department.
He recognized Mr. Noack for being an outstanding person, an outstanding worker, and outstanding
member of the department. He thanked him for his dedication of service over all of these years.
Mayor Garlock echoed Councilmember Duggan’s comments and noted that many times when he was on
patrol, Mr. Noack would be out snow plowing all night. When the residents would wake up in the
morning and see that the streets had been plowed, Mr. Noack and others in the Public Works
Department were responsible for that. The mayor commented on the many hours put in by Mr. Noack
after a major snow storm a few years ago.
Councilmember Paper stated that Mr. Noack was the best operator out there.
Councilmember Petschel said that she would compare his retirement to almost a ‘disturbance in the
force’ as it was felt by everyone.
Councilmember Duggan moved to accept the Notice of Retirement of George Noack, and authorize staff
to begin the recruitment of a Public Works Lead Worker.
Mayor Garlock seconded the motion.
Ayes: 4
Nays: 0
Absent: 1 (Miller)
F) AUTHORIZE PUBLIC WORKS FACILITY SINK REPLACEMENT
Councilmember Duggan expressed his desire to include a ‘not to exceed’ clause in the purchase order.
page 5
Councilmember Duggan moved to authorize the purchase of a Public Works Facility Sink Replacement,
not to exceed $7,310.00
Mayor Garlock seconded the motion.
Ayes: 4
Nays: 0
Absent: 1 (Miller)
G) APPROVE RESOLUTION 2017-76 ACCEPT BIDS AND AWARD CONTRACT FOR THE 2017
STORM SEWER IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
Councilmember Duggan asked why there was such a large difference between the City’s cost estimate
for this project and the actual amounts bid. Public Works Director Ryan Ruzek replied that this project
includes twelve catch basins going into nine or ten different locations. He said that staff had under-
estimated the mobilization costs to move the equipment around.
Councilmember Duggan asked if it would be reasonable to include a ‘not to exceed’ clause in the
construction contract to Northdale Construction in the amount of $108,985.67. Mr. Ruzek replied that
this project is identified as ‘unit prices’. There is X number of feet of storm sewer, catch basins are ‘by
each’, and there are ‘by square yard’ costs. Staff does attempt to overestimate on some of the gravel and
bituminous that is required – a ‘not to exceed’ would be difficult to accomplish on a contract of this sort.
Councilmember Duggan moved to adopt RESOLUTION 2017-76 ACCEPT BIDS AND AWARD
CONTRACT FOR THE 2017 STORM SEWER IMPROVEMENT PROJECT.
Mayor Garlock seconded the motion.
Ayes: 4
Nays: 0
Absent: 1 (Miller)
J) AUTHORIZE LIGHTING REPLACEMENT OF THE FRIENDLY HILLS HOCKEY RINK
Councilmember Duggan noted that the hockey rink is pretty old but asked if there was anything wrong
with the current light fixtures. Mr. Ruzek replied that the lighting was installed in 1988. It was his
understanding that the existing wiring is brittle and there is the possibility of shortages.
Councilmember Duggan noted that the estimate provided a couple of years ago was approximately
$35,000. Mr. Ruzek confirmed and stated that would have been to replace the fixtures with metal halide
fixtures. This type of lighting is being phased out. The LED fixtures proposed are more costly but they
will be cheaper to operate.
When questioned, Mr. Ruzek stated that there could be a ‘not-to-exceed’ clause added to this purchase
order.
Councilmember Duggan moved to authorize the lighting replacement at the Friendly Hills Hockey Rink
with the addition of ‘Not to Exceed $55,685’.

Mayor Garlock seconded the motion.
Ayes: 4
Nays: 0
Absent: 1 (Miller)
At this point, City Administrator Mark McNeill recommended that Council consider Consent Agenda
Item I as it had been removed previously. Council agreed that this had not been the intention and that it
should be considered as passed with the approval of the Consent Agenda.
L) APPROVAL OF CLAIMS LIST
Councilmember Duggan noted that at the last meeting, the payment to Kadrmas, Lee & Jackson, in the
amount of $32,798.27 was tabled. He questioned why the payment is now on for $33,120.60. Public
Works Director Ryan Ruzek replied that KLJ did submit an additional invoice for $3,300 and then gave
the City a credit of $3,000 toward the entire contract amount. The total then increased by $300 from the
amount submitted at the last meeting.
Councilmember Duggan reminded staff that he had questioned the payment at the last Council meeting
because not all of the work had been completed. Mr. Ruzek replied that KLJ was contracted to design,
survey, and acquire easements on the Dodd Road trail project. They had completed over 90% of the
contracted work, and had begun negotiations with the affected parties. The trail construction was to be
completed through the State of Minnesota and the Dodd Road reconstruction project.
Councilmember Duggan also questioned the manual checks total of $ -23,319.25. Finance Director
Kristen Schabacker replied that the reason for the negative amount was that the original check that had
been issued to KLJ was voided, and the updated invoices were included in the system checks total.
Councilmember Petschel, as a point of clarification, asked if at some point in the future there was way to
go forward with the trail project on Dodd Road, since all of the planning would have been done. She
said that it would just be a matter of negotiation with the residents. Mr. Ruzek replied in the affirmative
and stated that the City does have 90% of the construction documents. Depending on how long the
project waits, they may need to be updated if standards change.
Councilmember Petschel moved to approve the claims list.
Councilmember Duggan seconded the motion.
Ayes: 4

PRESENTATIONS
A) ADOPTING PRELIMINARY BUDGET AND LEVY
Finance Director Kristen Schabacker explained that in August, staff and Council held budget workshop
meetings. She shared the more significant items included in the 2018 preliminary budget:
Personnel/Staffing:
• Two additional Police Officers, one to be hired in January and the second in July, 2018
• Engineering Technician position, to start in April of 2018
• Two part-time positions added; a Communications Coordinator and a Volunteer Coordinator
• Firefighter pension contribution will increase by $500 per firefighter per year
• Cost of living adjustment included for the City employees, both union and non-union, and an
increase in the City’s insurance contribution
Capital Items:
• Tractor/loader for the Streets Department, an auto-greaser for the loader and a quick connect
• 3/4 ton pickup truck for the Parks Department
• 3/4 ton pickup truck for the Sewer Utility Department
• Fire Department to upgrade their hoses and nozzles, mobile computers for trucks
• Voice-over IP telephone system
These capital items listed would be funded through other sources and are not included in the property
tax levy.
The 2018 preliminary tax levy is set at $8,591,136, an increase of $608,816 or 7.52% over last year. The
residential home values in Mendota Heights are estimated to have increased approximately 5.5%.
Therefore, homes that have a value of $376,000 [the median home value] in 2018 will pay
approximately $85 more than they did in the previous year – a 6.2% increase in the City’s portion of
their property taxes.
She said that once the Preliminary Levy is adopted it cannot be increased; however, it can be decreased
before the final levy and budget are adopted in December. In November, Dakota County will mail out
notices to the residents and that will contain their proposed property tax amounts.
A public hearing would be held on December 5, 2017, allowing residents to comment. At that time, the
final budget and levy would be approved and certified to Dakota County.
Councilmember Petschel commended Ms. Schabacker on the summary provided. The Council and staff
have spent hours reviewing every line in the budget. There has been a lot of thought and effort by staff
and Council to come up with a responsible budget to meet the City’s needs.
Councilmember Petschel moved to adopt RESOLUTION 2017-77 APPROVING THE PROPOSED
2017 LEVY COLLECTIBLE IN 2018.

NEW AND UNFINISHED BUSINESS
A) APPROVE AGREEMENT FOR A COMPREHENSIVE TRAFFIC ENGINEERING STUDY
OF DODD ROAD
City Administrator Mark McNeill explained that one of the items identified in the City’s goals and
objectives was to conduct a traffic study on Dodd Road. It was anticipated that the study would review
the impact of area developments; the Vikings stadium, a possible new development at The Village, etc.;
and then would look at recommendations to improve traffic flow.
He said that staff contacted four engineering companies from the pre-approved list. Two of those firms
could not be used due to potential conflicts of interest. A third company was not able to accommodate
the workload. A quote was received from the fourth. He said that two other quotes were also received.
The quotes received ranged from just under $29,000 to over $59,000. The lowest bid was submitted by
KLJ at $28,850, and the work would take approximately two months to complete.
Since that time, staff has been made aware of two other traffic issues that the Council may want to
examine. The first is the Rogers Lake neighborhood. He said that with the Mendota Heights Road
construction, there has been a problem and is something that would require significant investments as far
as traffic calming techniques. This may be something that the Council would want a professional to
review and make a recommendation.
Mr. McNeill said that Delaware Avenue has also been an issue for years. Staff recommended that a
professional take a look at what the impact would be from the City limits north to Highway 110 in
anticipation of the Vikings development in Eagan and other new development in Inver Grove Heights.
page 9
He said that if Council is interested in considering these additional traffic studies, staff could get an
estimate from KLJ and bring it back to Council for consideration.
Councilmember Petschel asked if KLJ was prepared to look at the impact the Vikings summer camp
would have on traffic, quantify the increased attendance as opposed to the number of people attending in
Mankato, and predict what the affects would be on Dodd Road and Delaware. Mr. McNeill replied that
would be one of the things that KLJ would be examining. The summer camp was addressed in the
AUAR; however, staff wants to ensure that it was adequately addressed for Mendota Heights.
Councilmember Duggan asked if Eagan, Inver Grove Heights, Minnesota Department of Transportation
(MnDOT), Dakota County, or the Metropolitan Council (Met Council) had been asked for any plans,
surveys, or traffic studies that they may have already completed. Mr. McNeill replied that it is known
that Eagan and the Vikings have those. It was his understanding that the Met Council also did a
significant review. All of those could be reviewed by the City’s contracted engineer.
Councilmember Duggan noted that there is also the move of the Viking headquarters to the Viking
stadium site; adding a more challenging quantifiable item.
Councilmember Petschel also noted that the practice facility, small stadium and practice fields are a part
of a larger PUD. That is another thing that needs to be taken into consideration. She noted that the main
concern for her, as identified by MnDOT, is the poorly performing area where I-494 and 35-E meet. Her
concern is that it would perform so poorly during the Viking summer camp that people would be
seeking other ways to get to the facility – which could very well be some of the feeder roads through
Mendota Heights. Mr. McNeill stated that this information may be available; however, he is unsure if
the City would need or want to spend the money to have that analyzed. Councilmember Petschel stated
that she would like for MnDOT – as they have identified it as performing so poorly – to provide as much
information as possible to this traffic study under consideration.
Councilmember Duggan asked if this was something that the Traffic Study Committee would work on.
Councilmember Petschel replied that would be beyond their scope of practice.
Councilmember Duggan moved to authorize KLJ Engineering to do a traffic study as proposed for the
entire length of Dodd Road and to direct staff to obtain quotes from KLJ to perform traffic studies and
make recommendations for improvements, with estimated costs, to Lake Drive and the adjacent
neighborhood, and Delaware Avenue from TH 110 to at least O’Neill Drive in Eagan.
Councilmember Petschel seconded the motion.
Ayes: 4
Nays: 0
Absent: 1 (Miller)
B) APPROVE CONTRACT MODIFICATION FOR JEA ARCHITECTS
City Administrator Mark McNeill explained that JEA is the architectural firm which had been awarded a
contract in February 2017 to do the design work for the remodeling and water remediation work in the
lower level of City Hall. It had been anticipated to be a fairly simple project. However, additional
sources of water infiltration were found that needed to be investigated, and added in the proposed
page 10
specifications. Also, remodeling in the police department area was added to provide for better
functioning. These items increased the amount of the architectural and specialist time to put the project
together. The estimated fee has increased from the original ‘not to exceed’ amount of $22,250 to
$68,500.
Councilmember Paper asked, once the proposal is received, how much latitude they would need to pull
back; is it going to include grandiose expectations or just what is needed to get by. Mr. McNeill replied
that there are a couple of bid alternates, specifically the biggest part of that is the masonry work, which
could be as much as $100,000. The minimum masonry work beyond that would be in the area on the
south side wrapping to the west. However, if prices are favorable, it may be that the entire masonry
portion of the project to the entire building could be completed at that time. Some masonry issues were
recently found on the west side of the building. At this point, there does not seem to be any water
infiltration issue at that point; however, it is something that would need to be addressed as some point in
the future.
Councilmember Duggan asked for an estimate of how much more the west side of the building could
cost. Mr. McNeill replied that he does not have that figure. When staff looked at what the amount of the
extra work was for the architect, that estimate was decided to be put on hold. Councilmember Duggan
noted that when reading the contract, it seemed that the direction was ‘wait and see’ in relation to the
western edge if it is something that can be ignored but hasn’t been fully understood. He thought he had
stated at the last meeting that during the initial project, the contractor had gone down only four or five
feet along the south side of the building and tried to remediate the water intrusion; which was apparently
not enough. At that time, he had proposed to complete the entire building rather than going half-
measure. In this case, with the mold potential, etc. he did not believe that the City needed to fix two-
thirds of the building and then hope for the best on the rest. Mr. McNeill replied that he is unaware of
any mold issues on the west side. It is more of the face brick staying in place.
Mr. McNeill recommended that Council and staff wait to see what the bids bring and then staff would
bring that amount to Council. There could then be a discussion about whether or not to negotiate with
the successful bidder about whether to fix would be for the western wall.
Councilmember Petschel piggybacked on Councilmember Duggan’s comments in that she would also
like to know what the cost of doing the entire building would be. Mr. McNeill stated that he would get a
price for that. She would rather know the full cost to fix the entire building, even if it was a bitter pill to
swallow, and know that the building was fixed, than keep waiting for water to show up in another place.
Councilmember Petschel also asked Councilmember Paper if he would be familiar with anything from a
foundation standpoint where water is leaking, other than drain tile. Councilmember Paper replied that
sometimes you see a “beaver” system on the inside of the house, at the base of the wall. However, he
does not know what these plans are.
Mr. McNeill replied that the City Hall does not have a beaver system, but there is a drain tile at the
foundation footing that is covered by a fabric. It has been there for 30 years. He believes that one of the
advantages that the City has in the proposed plans are that it would not be replacing the drywall and
insulation on the south wall. If there is water coming in, it is just a matter of that drying out. Mold
requires dust or something in the drywall to grow.
page 11
Councilmember Duggan asked if the work would be done internally as opposed to outside where all of
the new beautiful gardens are. Mr. McNeill replied that they are going to tell the prospective contractor
that they have to be working on the landscaping rock area.
Councilmember Petschel moved to approve a contract modification to increase the scope of services,
and the overall compensation maximum for the provision of design, bidding, and construction
management services to JEA Architects, to $68,500.
Mayor Garlock seconded the motion.

COMMUNITY ANNOUNCEMENTS
City Administrator Mark McNeill made the following announcements:
• There is a buckthorn removal education opportunity at Rogers Lake Park on October 7, 2017 at
10:00 a.m. put on by the Dakota County Master Gardeners.
• Brush can be disposed of at the bonfire site behind the Mendota Plaza starting on October 26,
2017, for the Halloween Bonfire on October 31, 2017.
COUNCIL COMMENTS
Councilmember Paper noted that whether the traffic problem is getting worse or better, the projects are
getting closer to wrapping up – Mendota Heights Road, Kensington, and Highway 110. However, the
High Bridge being closed has given everyone another set of problems.
Councilmember Duggan stated that there was a story in the paper about Minnesota Knitting Mills and
their “Love Your Melon” beanie for the Super Bowl. He said that have to be a volunteer to get one of
those.
Councilmember Duggan also suggested that the Council hold a naming contest for the tunnel connecting
the north and south sides of the City. He would like to see a non-commemorative name for that tunnel.
Councilmember Petschel said that she would love to see that combined with a way to brand that part of
the City.
Councilmember Duggan continued by stating that Mendota Heights is spacious. He said that it a city
which was one of the first to adopt standards to guide city development, which we have stayed true to,
giving us a city that we are proud of. We have some major tasks to review and determine what might be
best for the city. There are three major developments: the Vikings facility, literally upon our southern
edge, the 138 rental apartments at Mendota Plaza, the 140 rental apartments under consideration for the
Motel/Larsen site – which he supports – however, there are challenges built into that, and the possible
rental apartment complex on City property at The Village. He said that the traffic from these
developments on Highway 149 is going to cause huge problems. Almost all of the traffic from The
Village and from The Plaza will be focused onto Highway 149 and this Council has focused on the need
to have a traffic study completed to figure out what can we do to improve this.
page 12
So the question is, in his statement, quality versus quantity. City character comes in part from the quality
of materials, the dimensions, the sight lines, color, shape, and landscaping. The Council has a significant
say in all of these areas.
The Mendota Motel/Larsen Greenhouse site is a blighted area and is past due for a major overview. He
said that the City has established a TIF district to help with this. As we grapple with Phases I and II, this
area has the potential for greatness. He asked why to limit the development with reductions of setbacks,
spacing, and more impervious surface than the code requires. He believes it is unwise to go with lesser
standards.
He said that throughout many of past developments, the Council has made it clear – it is not about
money. People want to move to Mendota Heights because of its character. It is the feeling that the city
presents to the community as they drive through.
IN closing, he said that the Council can do better for Mendota Heights by maintaining the standards and
codes and guidelines which have given us the city that we know and like today and want to preserve.

Hearings
A) PLANNING CASE #2017-17
ALLTECH ENGINEERING, 2515 PILOT KNOB ROAD
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW AN OVER-HEIGHT FENCE IN THE
INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT
Community Development Director Tim Benetti explained that Alltech Engineering was seeking
a conditional use permit to erect an eight-foot tall security fence on a portion of their industrial
based property located at 2515 Pilot Knob Road. He also noted that a public hearing notice had
been sent out on this application and no comments or objections have been received.
The subject property is located at the southwest corner of Pilot Knob and Mendota Heights Road.
Mr. Benetti shared images of the property in relation to its location to surrounding streets and
properties. The site is 4.34 acres, just under 190,000 square feet, contains an existing 32,106
square foot office/warehouse building, and is zoned and guided as I-Industrial.
page 14
Alltech Engineering has experienced a rash of thefts and vandalism on the back of their property,
in the storage areas. They are looking to erect something to keep out unwelcome guests and to
provide for some type of security measures.
Mr. Benetti shared an image showing the current driveway coming off of Pilot Knob Road,
storage and parking area, and a curved entrance off of Mendota Heights Road. The access points
would be blocked off with a horizontal rolling gate system, controlled by a keypad. The gates
would be open throughout the day and closed at night. City Code requires that screening of
approximately 90% or more opacity be installed; however, the fence design request is a classic
style, 8-foot high, picket rail fence style with fleurs-de-lis on top. This style of fencing was
chosen by the applicant not only for their need in protecting their property and added security
measures, but more for the high quality finish and appearance.
If the Planning Commission feels that a screen of 90% or more must be attained, then the
applicant would have to adjust or offer to provide a new version or style of security fence that
would meet this standard. However, because the current site has been without any vegetative or
structural measures for a long time, due to the overall nice appearance and quality of the new
fence, and the fact that the adjacent properties are not residential but similar industrial and/or
office/warehouse uses with their own unscreened loading or storage areas, staff recommended
support of the proposed security fence presented, without added measures or meeting the
complete 90% opacity standard.
Mr. Benetti explained the standards that must be met to approve a conditional use permit and
how this request satisfies those standards.
Commissioner Noonan asked for clarification that the site under consideration is currently not
fenced, screened, or buffered; so the back of the property is open to the view to the extent that it
is viewable from Mendota Heights Road or from Pilot Knob Road. Mr. Benetti confirmed.
Commissioner Noonan continued by noting that the request is not for a chain-link fence nor a
wood fence, which would show the test of time. Again, Mr. Benetti confirmed. It was then asked
if that wouldn’t offset the notion – the improved fence, is that a reason why the Commission
could say that it enhances or addresses the screen situation because there is nothing there now.
Mr. Benetti wholeheartedly agreed with that statement and said that the proposed fence would be
a much better improvement than a chain-link fence with the slats or anything else, especially
anything with a barbed-wire security arm on the top. A wood fence weathers over time and
would not be as appealing, per staff, as this fence would be.
Commissioner Noonan stated that it was represented to the Commission that the applicant was
proposing this classic style of fence; however, when looking at the conditions – it’s not a
condition. He expressed his concern that if the Commission gave the approval for the 8-foot but
do not condition it to this fence, there could be a substitution. He then asked if it would be
appropriate to include, as a condition, that the applicant install and staff can identify the
appropriate type. Mr. Benetti replied that he would recommend that amendment.
Commissioner Petschel noted that just a few months ago the Commission approved a fence just
down the road at the Liquor Distributor, which the Commission required 90% opacity and with
page 15
barbed-wire at the top. He then asked that, if the Commissioner were to approve this, how would
it not just throw this rule out the window. Mr. Benetti replied that the easiest way to do this is to
consider, now that they Comprehensive Plan is under amendment consideration, tweaking or
upgrading the zoning ordinance comprehensively as well. This could be something that staff
could look at very closely. He would be willing to see what other communities do; he does not
see an opacity rule of 90% as being really effective in an industrial zone as it is not really needed
from a planning perspective. The screening measures really come into play when there are
residential areas next door or when it is highly visible. The property under consideration is dead
center in the industrial park so there would not be any negative connotations with having this
fence.
Commissioner Magnuson asked if Mr. Benetti had any conversations with the owner about using
some vegetation to provide some sort of buffer. When out looking at the site she would agree
that completely surrounding that fence in vegetative material would require a lot; however, it
seemed to her that there are a few key places where a couple of nicely placed pine trees or
something would really solve the problem. It probably would not get it to 90% - but may come
close to the spirit and intent of the Code rather than just not dealing with it. Mr. Benetti agreed
and said that when staff walked the site a suggestion was made to put the some trees within the
open edge; however, putting trees in the berm area would be difficult. Hopefully the applicant
would have the budget for a few trees if the Commission felt it was warranted.
Vice Chair Hennes asked how hard and fast is the 90% rule and, if it is hard and fast, does the
Commission need to consider a variance. Mr. Benetti replied that his past experience working
with Conditional Use Permits, other city attorneys advised that if a condition under a Conditional
Use Permit if being asked to be waived or reduced/limited, a variance does not really need to be
applied in that case. In effect, the Commission could request a modification under the broad
general category of the Conditional Use Permit.
Commissioner Toth, referencing the statement in the staff report that the pavilion would be
removed, asked what the timeline would be for the removal – would it be removed prior to the
installation of the fence if this were to be approved. Mr. Benetti replied that the applicant would
like to remove the pavilion no matter the decision; the concrete pad would remain. He also noted
that this would be inside the fence line.
Commissioner Toth asked if the 8-foot fence would be installed on top of the already existing 4-
foot berm, thus making that stretch of the fenced area 12 feet. Mr. Benetti replied that the plan
calls for an 8-foot fence around the whole blue-lined area in the photograph provided, including
the berm.
Mr. Chris Lawrence, Operations Manager at Alltech Engineering Corp. shared images of the
property in question, which had been included in the staff report. He then noted the location of
the day-to-day operational parking lot, the loading area where they sometimes leave vehicles
parked overnight – the area of most security concern – and the location of the berms or buffer
areas. He also shared an image of the property from Pilot Knob Road indicating that the view
from there would probably only be 4 feet of the installed fence.
page 16
Commissioner Magnuson agreed that when going down Mendota Heights Road the neighbor’s
loading dock is more visible than Alltech’s. She then asked if they would be open to putting in a
few evergreens here and there. Mr. Lawrence stated that he would be open to that suggestion.
The one concern he would have is as the back of the property is approached there are potential
blind spots for their drivers; however, he would be open to it.
Commissioner Noonan stated that the representation is that it was the classic fence that would be
installed, so if a condition were added that it had to be this classic fence, would that be
acceptable. Mr. Lawrence replied that this would be acceptable.
Vice Chair Hennes asked, since this is the first time they would be installing a fence, would two
feet make that much of a difference in terms of security. Mr. Lawrence replied that to him, as
well as other management, it would be more of a deterrent. He recalled scaling four foot fences
when he was younger to go to football games.
Commissioner Toth asked if the fence was metal and would it be powder-coat paint or painted
with an industrial black paint – what would be seen in the next five, ten, or fifteen years as far as
peeling, rust, etc. Mr. Lawrence replied that he believed this to be a dipped product and of nice
quality; made to stand the test of time.
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.

B) PLANNING CASE #2017-18
LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE INC. AND PETER & JEN EISENHUTH, 1275
KNOLLWOOD LANE
CRITICAL AREA PERMIT AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW
CERTAIN CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES IN THE CRITICAL AREA OVERLAY
DISTRICT
Community Development Director Tim Benetti explained this application was to help facilitate
the removal of an existing single-family dwelling and replace it with a new one. As part of any
properties that are within or partially within the Mississippi River Critical Corridor Area, any
work, construction activity, grading work all has to be approved with a Critical Area Permit. This
application was being presented as a public hearing and notices were published and mailed out to
all residences within 350 feet. One comment was received by an adjacent neighbor and once he
understood the scope and scale of the project he had no objections.
Almost three-quarters of the subject property is located within the Critical Area. The property is
a 1.73 acre parcel and contains a single-family dwelling of just over 4,000 square feet. There is
currently an access point on the south corner of the lot which swings into a circular driveway.
The property is zoned R-1 Residential and there are no plans to change that zoning.
The plan is to remove the existing dwelling and construct a new one in the same place. The only
difference is they would be going lower than the existing house. According to their grading and
foundation plans, they will be a little lower than what is seen at this time. Grading would take
place along Knollwood Lane and along the back side. They are tying in some of the grades into
the existing contours in the bluff line. This has been reviewed by the Department of Natural
Resources (DNR) and they have determined that the plans are adequate.
The owners plan to construct a new, modern style home. Mr. Benetti shared architectural images
of the front and rear of the planned dwelling, with a rear walkout and gentle slopes to the
page 18
backyard areas. The reason for the grading work as shown on the plan would be to accommodate
the walkout.
Mr. Benetti shared the standards and provisions as noted under Title 12-Zoning, Chapter 3 –
Critical Area Overlay District, which included the site planning requirements, development
standards, setbacks, height limits, retaining wall, process for construction on property within the
critical area, vegetation management, and surface water runoff management.
The report indicated that there are some retaining walls on the site; however, they are not
planning any new retaining walls; only natural graded berms. There is an old foundation on site,
believed to be an old barn or outbuilding structure, believed to be constructed of a running brick
pattern or concrete block; there are no plans to remove that foundation.
The Conditional Use Permit is needed for any areas affected between 18% and 40% grades. In
this case, it is almost the entire site. The grading plan as presented meets the identified and
required standards that must be met in order to allow said grades and work in these areas.
Commissioner Noonan noted, generally speaking, that the footprint where this new home is to be
built is more or less identical to the footprint of the existing home. Mr. Benetti confirmed that
this was true. Commissioner Noonan observed that the height of the proposed home is more or
less consistent with the height of the current residence. Again, Mr. Benetti confirmed.
Commissioner Noonan observed then that there is no change in the structure’s impact on this
area; it is just new and therefore it is triggered because of where it is. Mr. Benetti replied that the
new structure would actually be lower than the existing structure; but is probably close to the 25-
foot standard.
Commissioner Mazzitello, referencing the drainage map, noted that the site is draining in two
halves; a portion goes down the slope and a portion goes down to Knollwood. He then asked if
anyone knew the drainage pattern on the existing site. Mr. Benetti deferred to the applicant.
Commissioner Mazzitello asked, if this home were not in the critical area, would there be any
other planning reason for it to be before the Planning Commission. Mr. Benetti replied in the
negative.
Mr. Stephen Mastey of Landscape Architecture Inc. came forward representing the applicant
asked to hear Commissioner Mazzitello’s question regarding drainage. Commissioner Mazzitello
asked if there were any significant changes between the existing drainage pattern and the new
planned drainage pattern. Mr. Mastey replied in the affirmative and explained that the only
different is they would reduce the impervious surfaces on the site by approximately 30% so there
would be less runoff, less storm water leaving the site, and more greenspace.
Vice Chair Hennes asked if the homeowners would be comfortable with working with the City
Planner a more reasonable tree replacement plan. Mr. Mastey agreed that they would be and as
the site plan evolves and they start to site the house and discover what the critical screenings are,
they have had some discussions already about wanting to add some additional screen trees,
page 19
especially where some of the diseased trees are proposed to be removed and where the existing
driveway is.
Commissioner Magnuson noted that one of the conditions of constructing in the critical area is
that the materials used have to be of natural quality and color and blend into the environment so
it does not create some sort of eye-sore. In looking at the diagrams, the house appears to be stark
white and she was sure that was for purposes of review. She asked if they had considered the
color of the structure. Mr. Mastey replied that what they are proposing to do is to drop the
structure a little bit and they would adjust the grade so the site would be lower. The second part
regarding materials he deferred to Mr. Charles Simmons and Ms. Marcy Townsend of Charlie &
Co. Design.
Mr. Charles Simmons, 356 – 3rd Avenue N, Minneapolis, in reference to the color pallet, replied
that at this point in the conceptual design it is intended to be white for diagram purposes. In all of
the images that the homeowner has shared with them, all of the materials are incredibly warm,
natural color pallets. There will be some stone on the outside for the chimney and the base. This
would not be a white modern home by any stretch of the imagination.
Vice Chair Hennes opened the public hearing.
Mr. Ken Hayes, 1291 Knollwood Lane, stated that he called Mr. Benetti on August 14th but
received no reply and his questions could have been answered that way. However, many of his
questions were answered during the presentation. He is the neighbor where the circular
driveways come together and from the vegetation diagrams it is hard tell what is going to be
replaced or not in the green buffer between the properties. There is a lot of invasive species in
there and he requested that they be removed and replaced by appropriate vegetation.
He noted that the driveway is going to be moved; however, he would like the three USPS
mailbox to stay where it is currently. If the owner would like to install his own mailbox near his
own driveway, that would be fine. If the current mailbox straddles the property lines, he would
like to see an easement put in place to keep it where it is.
Mr. Stephen Mastey of Landscape Architecture Inc. returned and, in reference to the invasive
species, stated that he is recommending the removal and doing some eco-system management to
clean that area and create a clean slate for something better. Typically they try to plant trees that
would be there for 100 years. There have also been discussions, once the driveway is moved, of
adding some additional screening and other vegetation specifically in that area. He said he would
be willing to work with Mr. Benetti and suggested Mr. Benetti keep Mr. Hayes updated.
As for the mailbox, typically they are in the right-of-way so he does not believe an easement or
anything like that is needed.
Vice Chair Hennes asked for a motion to close the public hearing.

TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF PLANNING CASE 2017-18 CRITICAL AREA PERMIT
AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT REQUESTS FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT
1275 KNOLLWOOD LANE BASED ON THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS OF FACT:
1. The proposed development of the property with two a new single-family residential
structure meets the general purpose and intent of the City Code and is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan.
2. The proposed project meets the purpose and intent of the Critical Area Overlay District,
including the additional conditional use permit standards.
3. The proposed development will make a concerted effort to reduce the removal of any
significant trees on the subject property; the removal of invasive and harmful planting
provides a benefit to helping restore the natural environment and native plant growth in
this area; and provides a condition to help replace and replenish the loss of some
significant trees.
4. The proximity of the new home from the bluff line, along with all new grades for this
site, will ensure that no stormwater drainage will negatively impact neighboring
residents; and help lessen any erosion or future degradation of the nearby bluff and
critical corridor area.
5. The work proposed involved is reasonable and within the spirit and intent of the Critical
Area, if done carefully and professionally.
AND WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:
1. Building and grading permits shall be approved by the City prior to any demolition or
removal of any existing structures, and before any construction of any new dwelling on
the lot.
2. All grading and construction activity will be in compliance with applicable federal, state,
and local regulations and codes, as well as in compliance with the City’s Land
Disturbance Guidance Document.
3. All new utility plans and connections will be required for review and approval by the
City Engineer.
4. The Applicant shall provide an updated tree and/or vegetation replacement plan that
provides a reasonable and equitable replacement of trees to be removed under this new
development plan.

C) PLANNING CASE #2017-19
MIKE SWENSON – MICHAEL DEVELOPMENT OF MN, LLC, 2160 & 2180 HWY 13
REZONING, PRELIMINARY PLAT, CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AND WETLANDS
PERMIT FOR THE PROPOSED MENDOTA HEIGHTS APARTMENT
DEVELOPMENT
Community Development Director Tim Benetti explained this was a request from Mr. Michael
Swenson – Michael Development of MN, LLC asking for a rezoning, preliminary plat,
conditional use permit, and wetlands permit for the new Mendota Heights Apartments, PUD
complex. The original plan was to build two 69-unit apartment complexes; however, the updated
plan under consideration tonight is for two, 70-unit apartment complexes for a total of 140 units.
This would entail the redevelopment of the Mendota Motel site and the former Larson
Greenhouse Center site.
The rezoning request would be from B-3 General Business to a new HR-PUD High Density
Residential Planned Unit Development; a preliminary plat of “Mendota Heights Apartments”; a
conditional use permit for the establishment of the PUD and the development of the proposed
multi-family type buildings; and wetlands permit due to the proximity of work adjacent to
Lemay Lake.
As part of a PUD process, it starts off with a concept plan. As the staff report indicated, staff
believes they have already presented the concept plan at the initial land use amendment stage a
few months. The concept plan has not changed very much so staff requested the Planning
Commission to consider both the Preliminary and Final Development plans at this time as one
complete submittal.
page 22
This item being be presented as a public hearing item, notices were mailed to residents within
1,500 feet or more of the development site and published in the local South-West Review
newspaper. These same residents had been included in the notices for the public information
meeting and the comprehensive plan review meeting.
Mr. Benetti reviewed the background, site description and present use, surrounding properties
and neighborhood, and project description; all included in the staff report to the Planning
Commission. Mr. Benetti also presented staff’s analysis on the rezoning from B-3 General
Business to HR-PUD High Density Residential PUD, preliminary/final development plan – site
plan & specifics review, wetlands permit, aircraft noise attenuation, and preliminary plat.
Mr. Benetti shared images of the concept plan for the development, no more than three stories; a
single identification monument sign near the front entry; layout of the underground parking with
79 spaces; layouts of the units, conference rooms, office, open concept lobby, club room, and
fitness room. Each building would have 37 one-bedroom apartments, 16 one-bedroom plus den
apartments, and 17 two-bedroom apartments.
The overall grading plan not only showed the overall grading, but the north and south, which is
effective for review as this is being looked at in two phases. Phase 1 is on the Mendota Motel site
in the south and Phase 2 will take place a little bit later on the north site.
Mr. Benetti stated that the landscaping plans is probably one of the better ones he has ever seen
with numerous and wide varieties of plantings; staff was very pleased to see this variety. They
were also very happy to see that they are not planning on a lot of work in the rear setback area as
it has existing screening with a great highway buffer screening view.
During the rezoning analysis, Mr. Benetti indicated that the one of the key provisions of the
purpose of a PUD is “…to encourage a flexibility in the design and development of land . . .” He
then listed the basis a council may consider the reduction of the 10-acre requirement for a PUD,
one of them being that it would not require any wetlands permit. This application does include a
wetlands permit; however, this is only due to the proximity of Lemay Lake. Staff is very
confident that they are not going to be affecting any part of Lemay Lake so they feel that the
wetland permit provision should not really be a factor in the Commissions’ decision of making a
recommendation.
Mr. Benetti then shared the standards that need to be met for a PUD approval and explained how
this request meets those standards. In terms of the density, Mr. Benetti explained that the High
Density residential land use designation in the 2030 Land Use Plan only allows a maximum
density of 8.5 units per acre, which is very low compared to many other suburban cities in the
region. The trend in the local areas is towards higher density in appropriate locations; said
locations would include good access and compatibility with surrounding land uses, which the
subject property does. The Planning Commission determines the number of dwelling units which
may be constructed within the PUD.
Under the Preliminary/Final Development Plan – Site Plan & Specifics Review, Mr. Benetti
reviewed the living area, unit size, levels, height, setback standards, floor area ratio, site data
page 23
calculations, design, parking, sidewalk/trail, signage, landscape plan, and public safety review.
While reviewing the setbacks standards, Mr. Benetti explained that the PUD can be used to
provide flexibility to allowing or accepting the reduced setbacks in this development plan and
why these reduced setbacks are no cause for concern and are acceptable by city staff.
As for the wetland permit, as indicated earlier the proposed project includes grading and
construction activities within 100 feet of a wetland/water resource-related area; however, staff is
confident the developer will provide adequate protection and safeguards throughout the duration
of the project, and will ensure these and all other environmental and habitat protection measures
are maintained.
Commissioner Mazzitello, referencing the protection of Lemay Lake, asked if the stormwater
pollution prevention plan, erosion and sediment control plan, and stormwater model for the
proposed condition are all yet to come. The only item under consideration this evening is simply
the rezoning of the property to allow the PUD to progress. Mr. Benetti confirmed that this was
correct. The applicant has already submitted a stormwater report and their SWPPP, but Staff did
not include them with the Planning Report due to technical language, overall volume and size.
However, they are available at City Hall Planning Dept. should anyone wish to review.
Commissioner Toth asked if there were any safety concerns with the Minnesota Department of
Transportation (MnDOT) using Highway 13 coming out onto Highway 110 and the uses of
Mendota Heights Road; would Highway 13 / Mendota Heights Road see any major impacts or
how would that be mitigated if problems arise in the future. Mr. Benetti indicated that this was a
good question. MnDOT has reviewed this and they have indicated that there would be the
obvious spike in local traffic from what was before. It has been pretty quiet in the last few years
with the shutting of the old garden center site and motel did not have a lot of traffic in and out.
However, with the new development, yes there would be an increase in traffic seen. The benefit
is they are eliminating access on one point and Highway 13 currently serves as more of a high
collector frontage road system. He did not believe that MnDOT had any issues or concerns and
did not see any need for a traffic study at this point. They believe the highway can handle this
uptick in traffic. There was a concern raised by a resident about any decreasing in posted speeds
along Highway 13; again, it’s a State Highway and the City cannot recommend or authorize any
reduction in speed.
Commissioner Petschel asked if the issues in MnDOT’s response been addressed as it appeared
they were asking for a number of things to be addressed. Mr. Benetti replied that MnDOT still
has the opportunity to review this as the project goes along; however, the applicant has been
made aware of their comments as far any permitting and right-of-way work – all of that has to be
approved beforehand. There are still some issues they have to address directly with MnDOT. If
they would not be in support of it, they would have indicated that early on.
Commissioner Magnuson indicated that on one of the designs there is a picture of Highway 13
and it looks substantially wider than what currently exists with the center turn lane and asked if
this was part of the project. Mr. Benetti replied that there will be a proposed right-hand turn lane
into the site, which a recommendation was made by MnDOT; so there will be some additional
work at that right-of-way for that turn lane.
page 24
Vice Chair Hennes, looking at the main map for the site plan, asked if the northern apartment
building would be visible from the Augusta Shores property or, given the drop off and all of the
trees if it would be invisible. Mr. Benetti replied that it was possible but indicated that with the
heavy grove of woods and a variety of trees he did not believe much of the site would be visible.
Commissioner Toth asked if the area would be disturbed – the large trees down the embankment
area to protect those residents on the Augusta Shores side. Mr. Benetti replied that currently all
of the work being done is within their own property limits and that is where it is desired to be
kept.
Commissioner Mazzitello noted that between the existing greenhouse property and the motel
property there is a city right-of-way that is undeveloped. This would need to be vacated for the
plat to move forward and he asked this to be addressed. Mr. Benetti answered that there is an old
unused section called Hilltop and that would need to go through the official vacation process.
The City Engineer and Mr. Benetti would be setting up a public hearing process for that as it
would need to be vacated officially by the Council. Also, all drainage utility easements will also
be dedicated as part of this new plat.
Mr. Mike Swenson of Michael Development of MN, LLC, 1650 Four Oaks Road, Eagan stated
this idea has been presented for the last 6 or 8 months and he hopes that it is accepted. He
believes it to be an improvement to the area and he would build a livable, acceptable, and
attractive building. He would also do his best to rent to qualified people. Michael Development
screens all of their tenants as far as being good people and this is who would be invited to the
community.
Vice Chair Hennes asked if he had to guess as the typical age of tenants, would they be baby
boomers, millennials, or gen X’s or what. Mr. Swenson replied that when a building like this is
constructed, the rent is hefty so the people that could afford the rent are probably a little bit more
established in life; usually 30 to 45 years in age.
Mr. Ben Delwiche of Kass Wilson Architects located at 1301 American Boulevard E,
Bloomington came forward to address the Commission and to answer questions. He stated that
the front of the building would be heavily clad in brick and the color scheme would include four
different colors, including the accent piece and would be pretty neutral. They would also use a
hearty flat panel and lap siding combination.
Vice Chair Hennes opened the public hearing.
Mr. Harold Fotsch, 2126 Lake Augusta Drive, lives right next to this place. He expressed his
appreciation to the developer for coming forward with a plan as they have been waiting for
something for some time and are anxious for this to be developed. In regards to the underground
parking, he asked where the exit would be from that area. His next question was in regards to
the site lines on the exit from Augusta Shores on Highway 13. The only exit Augusta Shores has
is onto Highway 13 and it is a challenge to do that safely, primarily due to the lack of a sight line
coming from the south. He was also concerned about the amount of traffic that would be
page 25
generated from the development to the extent that he wondered if Victoria could be used as an
exit from the underground parking area.
His next comment pertained to the northern border of this development. Apparently there is a
platted street on the northern border of this property, between this and Augusta Shores. This has
been a point of contention as Augusta Shores has not been able to make any improvements to the
entrance to their development. He asked if this new development could remove that paving and
put in foliage of some sort.
His final comment was that the apartment buildings look like boxes. He suggested the addition
of some kind of interesting roof line instead of plain old boxes to look at.
Mr. Greg Langan, 2101 Lake Augusta Drive, had five points or questions:
1. He observed that he lives on the north side facing the pond. Everything that he sees from
his deck is the Larson property. There is a huge swale between Augusta Shores property
and Larson greenhouse. If the grading that he heard about happens they are most likely
to lose some of that tree buffer that would potentially block his view of the new
apartment complex. This is a concern to him.
2. It was mentioned that on the north side of the property the set back from Acacia Drive is
proposed to be 30 feet, which would be less than what it is supposed to be. That would
only be 1.5 cars away from the property line.
3. He agreed with Mr. Fotsch and stated that there are days they cannot get out of their
development – and that is without the extra cars this development would add.
4. The lovely stonework was mentioned on the front with some siding materials. Augusta
Shores would be looking at the backside of this complex. He asked if the developer or
the architect could tell him what would be on the backside of the building that he gets to
look at, especially if the trees are removed when they do the grading.
5. He was not sure if this was appropriate to ask but did anyway – He asked Mr. Swenson to
provide the projected range of rents for the new complex.
Vice Chair Hennes asked the applicant or architect to come forward and address some of the
concerns raised. Mr. Ben Delwiche of Kass Wilson Architects replied as follows:
• Access from the underground garage – both garages would be entered from Highway 13,
residents would drive down the hill to the space between the two buildings to the
entrances to the underground garages.
• Sight line at the corner and the set back of the building – the building on the north side
would be 30 feet away from the property line, the property line – especially at the far
corner – is set back an additional 15 to 20 feet from Highway 13. Additionally, this phase
2 building is within the existing setbacks on the site – they are not requesting more
setback on any of the buildings at any portion that currently exist on the site.
• Tree removal plan – they plan to remove a heavy amount of trees from the area between
the Phase 2 building and Highway 13, which would greatly increase the sight lines. They
do plan on replacing two large trees and they would be happy to have the landscape
designer remove those or any visual impediments on this portion of the site.
• Traffic – looking at the MnDOT report the received initially, MnDOT deemed that the
road could handle the amount of traffic. Within that they did request that they add the
page 26
proposed right turn lane to help mitigate any slowing down along that route to Acacia
Boulevard.
• The platted street on the north - according to the survey, there is an existing paved area.
They currently have plans to remove all of that paving.
• Design on the outside – it is architectural style and they have worked on the renderings
and what they have currently is not significantly different but it is making steady
improvements to get where they want to be
• Where this development is located is kind of a buffer between the small-scale residential
community [Augusta Shores] and the depot facility [Restaurant Technologies]. Based on
the location and proximity to the highway, they are an intermediate buffer or transition.
They did a flat roof design to be an intermediary between those two things. The flat roof
also helps with the overall building height, which was a concern from residents who
could view the building from Augusta Shores.
• Grading and elimination of the buffer to the Augusta Shores neighborhood – he assured
everyone that they are only removing a handful of very small trees along the whole area.
They are also going through and giving more of an effort to preserve a number of trees in
the area. The removal plans are available for anyone to review and he would be happy to
talk to the residents after the meeting. He indicated on the plan the location of the two
significant trees to be removed from the site. Overall, the area should be more guarded
then it was previously.
• Design on the rear of the building – there is a very heavy buffer of trees on the entire site.
Strategically they placed brick on the ends on all visible spots that can be seen from
Highway 13, along the interior side, and then switch on the rear side to the hearty board
siding in a color to mimic the brick.
Commissioner Magnuson asked if he had done much of an analysis of the buffer being mostly
comprised of deciduous trees, which in the summer is great with the foliage; however, in the
winter those types of trees are bare. She was able to see that there are some pine trees; however,
the buffer may go away in the winter. Mr. Delwiche replied that he has not looked at the specific
species of trees. He also clarified that just because they are removing the brick from the bottom
two layers from the back of the building, they are not compromising the aesthetic. The look on
the backside, even without any trees, would remain the same as the front of the building.
Commissioner Toth asked if he was living on the east side of the complex would he be able to
see the roof line of the apartment complex from his home at any given time. Mr. Delwiche
replied that they have modeled this project and put it into Google Earth and their building came
down within the three strands of trees, well below the top of the tree line. Although he could not
say with certainty, his assumption would be that this development would have very limited
visibility from the Augusta Shores neighborhood.
Commissioner Toth asked what type of surveys had been done and could he guarantee that this
building roof line would be below the top of the trees. Mr. Delwiche replied that he did not have
that answer currently; however, he could get that answer and get very accurate drawings to
depict what exactly those views would be down there. However, whether or not the roof line
could be seen, a three story development, 70 apartment units is far less than what is typically
asked for. Usually, the economy to scale numbers push it up to a four story building. Here, given
page 27
the heights of the buildings at only three stories, plus the costly transition to a flat roof and the
means to mitigate what that roof line might do, he would hope that would serve the neighbors
well.
Commissioner Toth noted that many times on apartments and commercial buildings air
conditioning units and other mechanical elements are seen. He then asked if there would be a
number of those units on top of this building. Mr. Delwiche replied that they would have a very
limited amount of roof top units; basically one adjacent to elevator overrun, which goes above
the roof by four or five feet. That unit would serve the corridor. One thing that they do as a
strategy, to eliminate the look of those mechanical units on the outside of the building, is that
they are recessed them back into the deck area and are basically hidden from the main front face
of the building. They also added roof line projections to break up the roof line.
Commissioner Petschel suggested the developer provide a simulated drop street view onto
Augusta Shores, which Mr. Delwiche agreed to do.
The last item Mr. Delwiche addressed concerned the estimated rent dollars. He could not speak
specifically; however, based on apartment buildings in the Twin Cities he would estimate
approximately $1.60 per square foot. The smallest units in this building are 771 square feet;
which would equate to approximately $1,400 for a one bedroom unit.
Ms. Kathryn Haight, 2090 Acacia Drive, stated that she was confused. She and her husband
have been very supportive of this project and have been to several meetings regarding it. She
received the notice that this was regarding two 69-unit apartment buildings; however, at this
meeting she is hearing about two 70-unit apartment buildings.
She also commented that the schematics about Highway 13 are a little bit deceiving because
there really is quite a curve as you drive around the motel site and come by Acacia Drive as it
comes into Augusta Shores. Anyone exiting Augusta Shores onto Highway 13 and they look
right, left, right and start to make the turn, there could be a car coming around that curve. Drivers
do exceed the 40 MPH speed limit; in fact, the Mendota Heights Police sit in the paved area
there and watch for speeders. She expressed her concerns about the safety on the corner, even if
the trees were moved back. She suggested they be very cautious about the types of trees or
plantings installed there.
Mr. Greg Langan returned and referenced the 30-foot setback. He clarified his point that by the
time a driver were to reach the northeast corner they would be deep into the swale with the large
trees that are affecting providing blockage of the Larson property. He expressed his concern that
if there were to be extensive grading and they lose those trees he would get an unobstructed view
of the hearty siding rather than brick.
Mr. Delwiche returned and shared an image of the removal plan with X’s showing the removal
of trees and O’s showing the trees that would be protected or remain. Again, he noted that the
two largest trees being removed are in the middle of the site, between the Larson greenhouse and
the Mendota Heights Motel.
page 28
He reiterated the landscape plan for the corner and that they would work with the landscapers
adjust to create as much visual clearance as possible.
In reference to the transition from 69 units to 70 units, Mr. Delwiche noted that what they had
done on level three was to have an outdoor deck and a level three clubroom. Currently, they had
two one-bedroom units, one was the clubroom and the other one was the outdoor deck. They
realized that wasn’t really adequate for space and they did not want too many people out on the
deck anyway; so they took a two bedroom unit, combined those two uses into the two bedroom
unit and then added the two one-bedrooms back. So they have the same number of bedrooms in
the project, it just happened to switch the unit count based on a little bit further design
investigation.
Commissioner Noonan asked for confirmation that the plan Mr. Delwiche shared showed the
removal and the protection of the trees on the backside; however, the landscaping plan also
showed some additional plantings. Mr. Delwiche confirmed.
Vice Chair Hennes asked for a motion to close the public hearing.

TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF PLANNING CASE 2017-19 REZONING,
PRELIMINARY PLAT, CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AND WETLANDS PERMIT
APPLICATIONS FOR NEW MENDOTA HEIGHTS APARTMENT DEVELOPMENT
BASED ON THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS OF FACT:
1. The proposed Planned Unit Development Plan, both preliminary and final plans, are
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and applicable City Code requirements for such
a planned development in this area.
2. The proposed PUD should be approved the higher density, because:
a. it will be an effective and unified treatment of the development;
b. the development plan includes provisions for the preservation of unique natural
amenities;
c. financing is available to the applicant on conditions and in an amount which is
sufficient to assure completion of the planned unit development and the PUD is
consistent with the comprehensive plan; and
d. the PUD can be and will be planned and developed to harmonize with any
existing or proposed development in the areas surrounding the project site.
3. The proposed project utilizes the planned unit development (PUD) zoning flexibility to
enhance development of the property without negatively impacting surrounding land uses
and natural resources.
page 29
4. The reduced setback and building separation does not pose any threat to the general
health, safety and welfare of the surrounding properties or diminishes the usefulness of
the planned development of this property.
5. The reduced parking ratio should be supported due to the strong desire to reserve or
encourage more open space on this site; and help reduce any hard surface impacts that
additional parking would require.
6. Construction of the proposed high-density residential development will contribute to a
significant amount of the Metropolitan Council’s Year 2040 forecasted population and
household increases.
7. The proposed project is specifically designed to minimize impacts on the nearby wetland
areas (Lemay Lake) and will meet all requirements of the Wetlands Overlay Ordinances.
8. The proposed trail and pedestrian connections included as part of the proposed project
will facilitate recreational opportunities.
9. High Density Residential land use would be in character with other surrounding
properties and the existing vegetation and adjacent commercial uses, due to the added
setbacks and natural buffering between the proposed high-density housing and nearby
low-density residential housing.
10. The proposed increased density is consistent with surrounding suburban communities and
would allow for adequate open space as part of the proposed development.
11. The increased density provides for construction of a housing type that is lacking in the
City and would help to reach the forecasted population projections.
AND WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:
1. The Developer shall enter into a Development Agreement with the City of Mendota
Heights.
2. Necessary drainage and utility easements shall be included on the Final Plat, as
determined by the Engineering Department and Saint Paul Regional Water Services.

16. All applicable fire and building codes, as adopted/amended by the City, shall apply and
the buildings shall be fully-protected by an automatic fire sprinkler system.
17. All new buildings must comply with the Aircraft Noise Attenuation standards as found
under Title 12-4-1 of City Code.
18. The Developer with work with the fire department personnel in determining final design,
location and specifications to the fire safety access road to the rear sections of the new
buildings.
Commissioner Mazzitello proposed adding Condition 19 as:
19. That a right-of-way vacation process is executed for Hilltop Avenue, formally known as
Doughty Street, prior to the recording of the final plat.
Commissioner Noonan accepted that as a friendly amendment to his motion.
Community Development Director Tim Benetti proposed adding Condition 20 as:
20. The Developer will revise the planned five foot (5’) concrete walk along Highway 13 to
an eight-foot (8’) bituminous trail with a minimum of a 5’ boulevard. This trail should
extend south to Victory Avenue, with ADA compliant ramps and crosswalks including
on Acacia Drive. This would also include any necessary easements or right-of-ways.
Commissioner Noonan modified his motion to include Condition #20, Commissioner Mazzitello
agreed.
Commissioner Mazzitello also requested an edit to Condition #5 as “pollinator friendly” has not
been codified in ordinance; it is a policy but not an ordinance. He suggested the word
‘ordinance’ be changed to ‘policy’. Commissioner Noonan agreed to this amendment of the
motion.
Commissioner Magnuson, with respect to the concerns raised by the residents of Augusta Shores
for the ability to actually see to get onto Highway 13, asked if the City was in a position to do
page 31
some sort of review prior to the time that Phase 2 goes into construction to ensure that everything
is situated in a way that makes it so that the views are not obstructed coming down Highway 13.
Mr. Benetti replied in the affirmative and believes that working with the City Engineers and with
the MnDOT staff would be more than happy to provide a lot more of a site line space in there.
Adjusting the landscaping is the easiest for staff to do that. They would look at all measures
necessary to make sure that is accommodated.
Commissioner Magnuson also asked if the MnDOT needs to be involved in that process in the
event there needs to be some type of traffic signal or stop sign or something like that – or speed
bumps or whatever to reduce speed. Public Works Director Ryan Ruzek replied that any
intersection improvements would be at the cost of Mendota Heights. If the City were to require a
traffic study, that is something that would be requested at this time. MnDOT is not currently
saying that this development would cause a problem on their highway; however, they are not
looking at some of the side streets.
Commissioner Noonan asked for confirmation that any intersection improvements would involve
the City of Mendota Heights and MnDOT. Mr. Ruzek replied that it would require a partnership;
however, most likely the cost would fall back onto the City of Mendota Heights.

D) PLANNING CASE #2017-20
CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS & IDEAL ENERGIES - 1101 VICTORIA CURVE
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, VARIANCE, AND WETLANDS PERMIT FOR THE
CITY’S NEW GROUND-MOUNTED SOLAR ARRAY FIELD
Community Development Director Tim Benetti explained that the City of Mendota Heights and
Ideal Energies have requested a Conditional Use Permit, Variance, and Wetlands Permit to
install a new ground-mounted solar array field next to City Hall.
City Hall consists of two parcels that equal approximately 17.4 acres, most of which is
encumbered by right-of-way and some wetland prime areas. The developable site is just over 6
acres. The property is located in the R-1 Single-family Residential district. Under the City’s
zoning code, any stand alone or above ground solar array field must approved under the
conditional use permit process.
In February 2017, the City Council authorized staff to work with Ideal Energies in seeking two
separate solar energy grant applications offered by Made in Minnesota and Xcel Energy. The
City has already installed rooftop panels on the Fire Station and the Public Works Building, and
was initially intending to install panels on the City Hall roof; however, it was determined the
current roof trusses are not structurally equipped to support the added weight load of the panels,
page 32
and would require over 1,000 new penetrations (holes) into a roof that was just repaired – so the
City elected to proceed with the ground mount system.
The grants from Made in Minnesota (MiM) and Xcel Energy would help bring down the costs
for the building. During the lifetime, typically a 25-30 year programming, there would no cost
forwarded to the City. It would be fully funded by the grant.
The field would be made up of three separate arrays; the first being approximately 13’ x 106.6’,
the second being approximately 13’ x 130’, and the third being approximately 13’ x 80’. The
maximum height would be approximately 14’ and consist of blue and silver panels featuring
anti-glare technology.
All solar field arrays must be set back at least 15’ from all property lines and at least 30’ from all
dwellings. The two arrays would be approximately 15’ from the building and, therefore would
require a variance.
The limitations in size of ground mounted systems is tempered by what is allowed under the
accessory structures. It was believed that the intent of that was for a typical single-family
residence to not have its entire backyard taken up by a solar array. The City is out of the
ordinary in that they have the luxury of a lot of space and is more of an institutional use than
residential. That being said, the City still needs to comply with certain rules and standards. Since
the three solar arrays exceed the 1,000 square foot area standard, and exceed the 425 square foot
single structure area standards, a variance is required.
Under the ground mounted systems standards, staff felt that the site also does not need to include
or indicate any screening measures because the site is separated enough from residential uses and
other institutional uses. Any screen measures would be a waste of added resources and expense.
Mr. Benetti explained that statements of understanding that had to be found when considering a
variance request and how the application supports those statements. He also noted that because
this project was within 100 feet of the wetland area a wetland permit was required. The good
news was that there would be no impact or affect to the wetland area.
Commissioner Petschel asked if the savings to be received from Xcel Energy apply to City Hall
or to all city-related operations. Mr. Tyler Scott of Ideal Energy replied that the way the solar is
integrated is directly with City Hall; so City Hall would use the solar power and would see the
savings.
Commissioner Magnuson asked how durable the panels were. Mr. Scott replied that, in terms of
the baseball field being located nearby, the panels are tested against hail by taking a 1-inch ball
bearing and shooting it at 55 MPH at a panel as a direct hit. The panels withstand that; however,
he is unsure how that compares to a foul ball on a little league field but they are very durable.
Councilmember Magnuson then asked about security seeing as there would be no fencing around
the array. Mr. Scott answered that there have not been any security issues to date.

PERMIT, VARIANCE, AND WETLANDS PERMIT FOR NEW ALTERNATIVE ENERGY
(SOLAR) SYSTEM BASED ON THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS OF FACT:
1. The proposed Alternative Energy (Solar) System use will not be detrimental to the health,
safety or general welfare of the community, nor depreciate surrounding property values.
2. The proposed Alternative Energy (Solar) System conforms to the general purpose and
intent of this code and comprehensive plan, including all applicable performance
standards, provided all conditions are met and upheld by the property owners.
3. The installation and implementation of this new Alternative Energy system at the City
Hall will help reduce the overall energy consumed by the facility, and is in the best
interests of the City’s residents and businesses (taxpayers) by helping to reduce annual
operating costs of City Hall and other facilities.
4. The City intends to install and use the Alternative Energy System on the property in a
reasonable manner; the plight of the landowner in selecting this area for its new
Alternative Energy System was due to circumstances unique to the property; and the new
Alternative Energy System will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood.
5. The property on which the use will be located is currently in compliance with all
applicable city code standards.
AND WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:
1. The City’s contractor/consultant for this new Alternative Energy (Solar) System must

Hearings
A) PLANNING CASE #2017-21
MINNEHAHA ACADEMY, 1340 MENDOTA HEIGHTS ROAD
INTERIM USE PERMIT
Community Development Director Tim Benetti explained that Minnehaha Academy was seeking
an Interim Use Permit for the property located at 1340 Mendota Heights Road and a secondary
property located at 1345 Northland Drive. This item was heard under a normal public hearing
process and was officially published in the local newspaper and information letters were mailed
to all property owners and tenants of buildings located within 350 feet of the site. No objections
have been received from staff regarding this request.
Mr. Benetti shared a location map showing the old Brown College site located in the heart of the
industrial park, bounded by Mendota Heights Road on the north, Enterprise Drive to the east, and
Northland Drive to the South. The area is surrounded by a variety of different commercial and
office users. The property is actually split into two tax ID parcels, a 2.74 acre parcel and a 2.72
acre parcel for a total of approximately 5.5 acres.
The building is uniquely shaped office building that is 56,650 square feet in size and is owned by
Mendota Heights Road LLC (Mr. Dan Schadegg). The subject site contains 271 surface parking
spaces. The property was leased by Brown College up until June of this year.
The building was set up for a typical college or trade school with business school classrooms.
However, currently it is being retrofitted under an approved building permit at this time. The
previous school space included a library area, science lab, social spaces, student lounge, and
various sized offices. Some of these areas are remaining and some are being retrofitted by the
Academy.
From the Minnehaha Academy’s website, Mr. Benetti discovered that the enrollment is Pre-
kindergarten to 12th grade of approximately 825 students. For the purpose of the old Brown
School site, they are looking at approximately 350 9-12th grade students plus 50 staff members.
page 36
The school hours are assumed to be from 8:35 a.m. to 2:55 p.m. and they are looking to lease the
space for up to two years.
Mr. Benetti then shared images of the building layout, parking plan, traffic flow (cars and buses),
and access points, which had been included in the Commission’s meeting packet of information.
Mr. Benetti shared the eight standards for consideration of an interim use permit (A-H) and
staff’s responses to these standards and their recommendation of approval for this interim use
permit.
Commissioner Noonan, referencing the hours of operation, asked what the significance of that
was. Mr. Benetti replied that it probably has no significance. The hours were included to give an
indication of peak travel times in the morning and late afternoon; however, they would be off-
peak hours as far as the industrial park is concerned.
Commissioner Toth asked what the expected levels were for parking. Mr. Benetti replied that
with over 350 students, they are providing 180 spaces. The actual use of spaces is anticipated to
be lower than 180.
Commissioner Noonan commented that one would suspect that when Brown Institute ran this
facility and they used the entire 55,000 square feet, the students were more inclined to drive than
one would think a grade nine would.
Ms. Donna Harris, President of Minnehaha Academy, came forward and expressed her
appreciation to the Commission for considering their application. Minnehaha Academy has been
in existence for 104 years and if there were any concerns about the quality of student that would
be occupying this space, they have wonderful students, high quality education integrating
Christian faith in learning is their mission, and their students are bright, articulate, inquisitive,
collaborative students that give back to the community in many, many ways. She foresees the
students finding ways to give back to the Mendota Heights community as well. They did not
anticipate the tragedy that occurred on August 2. They have heard very clearly from their
community – a caring community is one of their core values – that the students and families
wanted to be able to keep their students together, grades 9-12. They had other options where they
could have sent the 11th and 12th graders elsewhere, but they wanted space where the students
could be together and where the faculty could deliver a high quality education.
The footprint of the Brown Institute is smaller than they are used to and they will not have the
athletic facilities; however, the have friends in the community that they believe would allow
them to use some of their space. Ms. Harris expressed her appreciation for Mortenson and to
ATS&R for the work that they are doing to help carve some new spaces and collaborative spaces
that the students will need.
Commissioner Noonan, referencing an image that showed only three buses, asked what they do –
do they come specifically in the morning or night, or are they shuttle buses taking kids back and
forth to the main campus. Ms. Harris replied that the buses drop off the students in the morning
and pick up in the evening. Principal Jason Wenschlag replied that they would have a few buses
page 37
from their Minneapolis/St. Paul routes that would drop kids off, then they would also have a
shuttle in the morning and in the afternoon that pick up at the south campus and bring kids from
there to the main school and take their faculty and staff that need to go to the south campus from
the main school to there. That would happen in the morning and afternoon as well; they only
have one shuttle bus.
Commissioner Noonan asked, for physical education, if the students would be shuttled back to
the main campus for that. Principal Wenschlag replied in the negative and stated that they will
be leaning more on fitness and conditioning and the health aspects, more wellness. They would
not be having team sports classes or out in the parking lot playing touch football. They would be
installing a fitness center in the building and focusing more on that. Then the 9th and 10th graders
who signed up for a physical education class will take one of the required health classes in one of
the classrooms.
Chair Field opened the public hearing.
Mr. Randy Odegaard, the building and facilities manager for the property located 1333
Northland Drive, the property surrounded by Brown College came forward. He was representing
the owners of the property and his tenants. He welcomed Minnehaha Academy to the area;
however, his tenants have some concerns. He met with Principal Wenschlag at Minnehaha
Academy last week and now has a little bit of an idea of what they are looking at.
He stated that his tenants are mostly concerned about bus traffic and student traffic as they do
share some common driveways, entrances, and exits. He then pointed out the areas he was
referring to on Mr. Benetti’s traffic pattern diagram. He indicated that the main concern is for
everyone’s safety, especially with the anticipated construction to take place on Pilot Knob Road
and Northland Drive. Mendota Heights Road would be a much safer route due to the fact that
there signal lights at major intersections. He urged the students, staff, and parents to use that
route versus Northland Drive.
Principal Jason Wenschlag returned and, replying to the traffic concerns raised, stated that they
would be spending quite a bit of time training their students and parents on traffic flow and
where they should be. They will be out with signs, have good signage, and they are hoping to put
arrows on the pavement itself to direct people on where to go around the building. They do see it
as a concern and have talked Mendota Heights Road to Highway 55 being the best route and the
most probable route they will take.
Mr. Richard Shattuck, property manager for the Brown College building, stated that despite the
fact that the last couple of years there has been minimal occupancy in the building; at the time
that they purchased the building six years they were operating at full capacity. All of the parking
spaces were being used, the resulting traffic that went with that was in place without incident or
any problems for the surrounding neighborhood at that time. He sees less traffic resulting from
this; the only difference being a few buses a day.
Chair Field asked for a motion to close the public hearing.

COMMISSIONER NOONAN MOVED, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER MAZZITELLO,
TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF PLANNING CASE 2017-21, INTERIM USE PERMIT
FOR TEMPORARY 9-12TH GRADE SCHOOL IN THE INDUSTRIAL ZONE BASED ON
THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS OF FACT:
1. The proposed temporary school use will not be detrimental to the health, safety or general
welfare of the community, nor will cause serious traffic congestion nor hazards, nor
depreciate surrounding property values.
2. The proposed interim school use conforms to the general purpose and intent of this code
and comprehensive plan, including all applicable performance standards, provided all
conditions are met and upheld by the property owners during the term of construction.
3. The date or event that will terminate the use can be identified with certainty.
4. The property on which the use will be located is currently in compliance with all
applicable city code standards.
AND WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:
1. The interim use for this temporary school use is valid for up to two complete school year
periods, starting from August 24, 2017 and terminating June 30, 2019.
2. Any extension of this interim use permit beyond the June 30, 2019 expiration date must
be submitted to the City of Mendota Heights at least sixty (60) days prior to this date, and
approved by the City Council.
3. All new remodeling or interior work (including building, electrical, plumbing,
heating/cooling and other related work must be submitted for standard building permit
review prior to any work being started.
Commissioner Noonan commented that exhibit that shows the orientation of the traffic flow is a
very thoughtful depiction of how traffic will flow. He believed that the comment the principal
made that there is an education process that needs to take place with the students and parents is
very true. Looking at other schools in the area he was sure that each year, with new freshmen
coming in, there is an education process that takes place as to how parents drop off, how buses
are circulated, etc. The fact that they are going in with their eyes open means that they will be
respectful of their neighbor, and be a good neighbor as well. The tightness of the site really
dictates that they need to work together.

PARKS AND RECREATION MEETING
August 8, 2017
The August meeting of the Mendota Heights Parks and Recreation Commission was held on

Goldade, Bob Klepperich, and Stephanie Levine. Student Representative Claire Dunham.

Ruzek, and City Administrator Mark McNeill.

Motion Levine/second Klepperich to approve the minutes of the July 11, 2017 Parks and
Recreation Commission meeting.
AYES 5: NAYS 0
Announcements
Ms. Jacobson stated that with the departure of Mr. Wallgren, there were no longer conflicts
with the dates of the September and October Commission meeting, and that those could
therefore remain as regularly scheduled. The Commission concurred.
Rogers Lake Culvert
Public Works Director Ruzek said that the May 9th Traffic Safety Committee meeting had
discussed safety issues regarding people fishing from the culvert area between the two
bodies of Rogers Lake, on Wagon Wheel Trail. He reported that the DNR won’t allow the City
to prohibit fishing at the lake, and that a meeting with the DNR was being sought. The
recommendation of the Traffic Safety Committee was to construct a crosswalk away from the
S-curve on Wagon Wheel, and perhaps place chain link fence on the south side to discourage
street crossing at the culvert site.
The Commission discussed traffic volumes on Wagon Wheel, parking issues on Cygnet, and
the possibility of improving fishing at or near the location, including repairs to shore where
there has been erosion and a possible additional fishing pier. Additional traffic enforcement
was needed, especially during the period when Wagon Wheel Trail was being signed as a
page 41
detour. Because of construction. Commissioner Kipp asked about possible grant monies to
upgrade the culvert to a passage between the two lakes to accommodate canoeists.
Acting Chair Toth opened the floor to questions for the Public Works Director.
Commissioner Goldade asked about Valley Park trail and trees. Mr. Ruzek replied with
planned trail updates, and gave an update on the anticipated Emerald Ash Borer infestation;
he noted nearly 700 ash trees were on the City’s inventory of parks and public spaces.
Chair Toth asked for an update on area road construction projects, to which Mr. Ruzek
responded.
Commissioner Goldade asked about tennis courts, and Commissioner Klepperich noted
graffiti problems in the parks.
Acting Chair Toth asked that the Public Works Department employees be thanked for the
good work that they do on parks maintenance.
Tennis Courts
Ms. Jacobson reviewed four options for replacement of the tennis courts at Marie Park, which
were outlined in a memo from Mr. Wallgren dated August 8th. Discussion centered on the
types of surface, maintenance costs, and the number of courts that were appropriate for
Mendota Heights. Meredith Lawrence, who was in the audience and has served as the City’s
tennis instructor for several summer seasons, stated that in general asphalt surfaces are
preferred by younger or more competitive players, whereas sport surfaces are preferred by
older or more casual players.
The consensus of the Commission was that Option 2 in the memo, which would provide for a
complete rebuild of the tennis courts for an estimated $60,000 to $70,000, was the preferred
alternative. This would provide for an estimated 30 year life expectancy, assuming proper
maintenance every 5 to 7 years.
Motion Levine/second Goldade to recommend to the City Council that it seek quotes for the
complete reconstruction of the Marie Park Tennis Courts, with an asphalt surface.
AYES: 4 NAYS: 1 (Kipp)
The Commission also spoke about the number of courts in Mendota Heights. Commissioner
Levine said that the USTA had surveyed a number of cities, which showed that Mendota
Heights is above average in the number of courts per capita. However, she noted that that
was when the courts at Henry Sibley High School were included. In her opinion, the City
should maintain the courts that exist, but not to add additional courts. She also felt that the
City should talk to ISD 197 about the future of the courts at Friendly Hills school.
Par 3 Report
Ms. Jacobson presented the commission with a report on the golf course. She said that the
Women’s Wednesday golf league was ending the following week, and that golf camps will
page 42
soon be taking place.
Commissioner Klepperich asked that information regarding the last five years of revenue and
the number of rounds of golf played be provided to the Commission. Ms. Jacobson said that
that was information that she would be reviewing as well.
Natural Resources
Ms. Jacobson stated that the City had completed its planting of pollinator –friendly
landscaping at City Hall, and that other planting had taken place throughout the community.
Skate Park
Ms. Jacobson reported that other than some issues with graffiti, there was nothing to report.
She asked for comments.
Commissioner Klepperich noted that there was discussion at the previous meeting as to
repairs that were needed. Commissioner Kipp stated that there were safety issues with
cracks on the surface, and recommended that those be addressed as soon as possible.
Commissioner Goldade asked about funding of repairs, and from which budget those should
come. Commissioner Levine suggested finding skateboarding enthusiasts who could advise
the City on skateboard park amenities.
Friendly Hills Hockey Lights
City Administrator McNeill said that a contract had been let for the reconstruction of the
warming house at Friendly Hills Park. John Boland of the City’s Public Works Department has
recommended that pricing be sought to replace the lighting and wiring at the Friendly Hills
hockey rink. Two years ago, the estimated cost of that work was $35,000.
The Commission discussed timing, and efficiencies coming from replacing the lighting at the
same time as the warming house was being installed. They noted that this had first been
discussed in January, 2016.
Motion Levine/second Goldade to recommend to the City Council to seek quotes for the
replacement of lights and wiring at the Friendly Hills hockey rink.
AYES: 5 NAYS: 0
Update on Hiring:
Ms. Jacobson said that the job description for the position which had been previously held by
Sloan Wallgren was being updated, and would be discussed with the City Council. It would be
advertised and posted externally, and so it was unlikely that the position would be filled prior
to mid-October.
Commission Comments
Commissioner Kipp thought it was a good meeting.
Commissioner Klepperich thanked staff for being in attendance.
page 43
Commissioner Levine thanked Cindy Johnson and the Dakota County Master Gardeners for all
of their work on the pollinator friendly plantings.
Commissioner Goldade thanked Sloan Wallgren for his work, and to Ms. Jacobson for her
work in stepping in to fill the duties. He also said that he had received the following ideas
from residents to improve parks:
• Add drinking water for Rogers Lake Park
• Increase the number of basketball courts through-out the City, similar to those at
Mendakota Park
• Have a plan to deal with Emerald Ash Borer at Valley Park.
Acting Chair Toth thanked staff, and also the Public Safety workers for their response on July
29th, at the White Pines incident.

Terry Blum, Public Works Superintendent
SUBJECT: Public Works Maintenance Worker and Public Works Lead Worker
Hiring Approval
COMMENT:
Introduction
The City Council is asked to approve the filling of vacant positions within the Public Works
Department.
Background
The retirement of Mike Maczko resulted in the opening of a Public Works Maintenance Worker
position assigned to the Parks Division. City Council authorized the recruitment of a Public
Works Maintenance Worker at the July 18 City Council meeting. The recruitment process
followed the internal promotional process as provided for in the Teamsters Labor Agreement.
Three internal applications were received for the vacancy. Staff is recommending the
reassignment of Tim Oster, a current Public Works Maintenance Worker assigned to the Streets
Division for the position. Mr. Oster has been with the City since 1995.
The retirement of George Noack resulted in the opening of a Public Works Leadworker position
for the Streets Division. The City Council authorized the recruitment of the Leadworker
position at the September 19 City Council meeting. The recruitment process followed the
internal promotional process as provided for in the Teamsters Labor Agreement.
One internal application was received for the vacancy. Staff is recommending the promotional
appointment of John Ambrose to the position of Public Works Leadworker for the Streets
Division. Mr. Ambrose has been with the city since 1997.
page 47
If approved, the reassignment of Mr. Oster and the promotion of Mr. Ambrose results in two
Public Works Maintenance Worker vacancies. To fill these positions, staff conducted an
external recruitment process and received 12 applications for the open positions. Staff is
recommending hiring Jason Evazich and Thomas Rouse for the positions.
Jason Evazich is familiar with the Public Works department having worked as a part-time
temporary worker in 2015. He comes to the City with experience in parks, streets and general
maintenance. Thomas Rouse comes to the City having most recently worked for the
Metropolitan Council. Mr. Rouse has experience in utilities, specifically maintenance of sewer
and lift stations.
Given the seasonal timing of the vacancies, staff has made conditional job offers to each
candidate contingent upon receipt of successful results of a background check, pre-employment
physical, drug test and City Council approval. The start date for both candidates will be
dependent upon the successful completion of the pre-employment testing and background
process.
Recommendation
Staff recommends the following:
• Appointment of John Ambrose as a Public Works Lead Worker for the Streets Division
effective October 4, 2017, with wages set at $30.81 per hour per the 2016-2017
Teamsters Labor Agreement.
• Reassignment of Public Works Maintenance Worker Tim Oster from the Streets to the
Parks Division.
• Appointment of Jason Evazich as Public Works Maintenance Worker pending successful
completion of a background check, pre-employment physical and drug screen. Starting
hourly wage set at $20.02 per hour per the 2016-2017 Teamsters Labor Agreement. Date
of employment will be based on final results of his background check, pre-employment
physical and drug screen.
• Appointment of Thomas Rouse as Public Works Maintenance Worker pending successful
completion of a background check, pre-employment physical and drug screen. Starting
hourly wage set at $20.02 per hour per the 2016-2017 Teamsters Labor Agreement. Date
of employment will be based on final results of his background check, pre-employment
physical and drug screen.
Action Required
If the Council concurs, it should, by motion, approve the promotion of John Ambrose to Public
Works Leadworker, the reassignment of Tim Oster, and the hiring of Thomas Rouse and Jason
Evazich to the positon of Public Works Maintenance Worker with the City of Mendota Heights
Public Works Department.

SUBJECT: Purchase and installation of wireless network equipment for the Fire
Station
COMMENT:
Introduction
The City Council is asked to approve the purchase and installation of wireless network
equipment for the Fire Station.
Background
Staff has been working with LOGIS, our IT support services provider, to evaluate and make
recommendations for improving the wireless network at the Fire Station. The Fire Station’s
current wireless network does not offer the necessary signal strength for efficient use of
technology based operations and future technology enhancements.
To take advantage of the new connection to the Dakota County fiber ring and to better support
fire department operations, LOGIS is recommending replacement of the Fire Station’s wireless
network. The proposed redesign includes the installation of two wireless access points within the
building.
Budget Impact
LOGIS has submitted a cost proposal in an amount not to exceed $2,693.00 for the purchase and
installation of wireless network equipment at the Fire Station. If approved, funds would be made
available from the Cable Fund to cover costs.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the proposal to purchase and install wireless network equipment
at the Fire Station.
Action Required
If the Council concurs, it should, by motion, authorize the purchase and installation of equipment
to replace and enhance wireless network connectivity at the Fire Station.

Request for City Council Action
DATE: September 19, 2017
TO: Mayor, City Council and City Administrator
FROM: Cheryl Jacobson, Assistant City Administrator
SUBJECT: Authorize Purchase and Installation of an Electronic Door Access and Panic
Button System for City Hall
Introduction
The City Council is asked to authorize the purchase and installation of an electronic door access
and panic button system for City Hall.
Background
Increasing City Hall building security has been identified as a 2017/18 City Council goal. To
address security improvements within City Hall, staff is recommending the purchase and
installation of an electronic door access and panic button system.
Through the use of key fobs and card readers, a door access system will allow for enhanced and
efficient key control, improved ease of access and use of city hall space by others and the ability
to generate reports for security and tracking purposes.
Staff obtained quotes from three system vendors. The following is the proposal summary:
Ban-Koe = $39,817
Pro-Tec Design = $42,487
Johnson Controls = $42,620
Budget Impact
The costs of purchase and installation of a door access and panic button system are proposed to
be paid for out of the Water Tower fund. (See other discussion on City Hall financing elsewhere
on 10/3 agenda)
Recommendation
Staff recommends authorizing the purchase and installation of an electronic door access and
panic button system through Ban-Koe in the amount of $39,817.
page 84
Requested Action
If the City Council concurs, it should, by motion, authorize the purchase and installation of an
electronic door access and panic button system through Ban-Koe in the amount of $39,817.
page 85
DATE: October 3, 2017
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Mark McNeill, City Administrator
Ryan Ruzek, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Traffic Study Authorization
COMMENT:
INTRODUCTION
The Council is asked to authorize a traffic study of Lake Drive and Delaware Avenue.
BACKGROUND
City Council authorized a traffic study of Dodd Road for $28,850 at their September 19, 2017
meeting. Staff was asked about performing traffic studies on two other roadways in addition to
Dodd Road which have been--or are anticipated to be—traffic issues:
• Lake Drive and the adjacent residential neighborhood to the north, in the vicinity of St.
Thomas Academy and Visitation School; and
• Delaware Avenue, from TH 110, south to at least O’Neill Drive in Eagan. The study
area could be extended to the south if it can be anticipated that the Vikings development
in Eagan or other development in Inver Grove Heights might impact Delaware Avenue in
Mendota Heights.
BUDGET IMPACT
KLJ provided a quote of $20,200 to include the two other roadway corridors in the Dodd Road
study. The proposal is further broken down as $10,300 for the Delaware Avenue Study and
$9,900for the Lake Drive Study. This amount is not budgeted in 2017, but, as a one-time
expenditure to address an important development and quality of life issue, could be paid from the
City’s general reserves.
page 86
RECOMMENDATION
The quote for the additional work from KLJ to perform traffic studies and make
recommendations for improvements, with estimated costs, to Lake Drive and the adjacent
neighborhood, and Delaware Avenue from TH 110 to at least O’Neill Drive in Eagan is within
the expected range of fees and no additional quotes were solicited. The Council is asked to
authorize the additional tasks to KLJ.
KLJ’s work on this study would be anticipated to be performed over the next two months.
ACTION REQUIRED
If the Council concurs, it should, by motion, enter into an agreement for a comprehensive traffic
engineering study of Lake Drive and Delaware Avenue by KLJ Engineering, at a cost of
$20,550.

Request for City Council Action
MEETING DATE: October 3, 2017 TO: Mayor, City Council, and City Administrator FROM: Scott Goldenstein, Assistant Fire Chief SUBJECT: August 2017 Fire Synopsis
COMMENT:
Fire Calls
The department responded to 24 calls for the month of August bringing us to a year-to-date total
of 198 fire calls, this compares to 165 calls at the same time last year. Of those calls, 15 were
located in Mendota Heights, four were in Lilydale, two in Mendota, one in Sunfish Lake, and the
last two were outside of our response areas. Sixteen of the 24 calls were either good intent or
false alarms, two of the 24 calls were EMS in nature, two calls involved cut gas lines and two
were coded as utility checks. Finally, we were called on two mutual aid requests, one to Eagan
where we provided manpower and one to Inver Grove Heights that was later cancelled. Only one
of the calls was at a commercial occupancy.
Monthly Department Training
For the month of August, our monthly department drill consisted of using a fabricated pitched
roof. This allowed our firefighters to practice proper procedures for placing and climbing
ladders, transitioning to a pitched roof, and cutting 4x4 foot ventilation holes in the training prop
via the use of a roof ventilation saw (similar to a chain saw). Dale Stein, our Training Officer,
had researched the prop, bought the raw materials and put together the simulated roof that was
used in this drill.
Monthly Squad Training
The monthly squad drill was dedicated to ropes and knots. On our trucks we carry many types of
ropes based on what we need to use them for. They range from simple utility ropes for hoisting
tools to a roof to life safety ropes that can be used in complex scenarios for potentially hoisting
victims out of precarious circumstances. Rescues that involve ropes are fairly uncommon on our
department but late last year we needed to utilize a rope rescue to help remove an injured person
who had fallen in the Ivy Falls area near the waterfall.

SUBJECT: Resolution 2017-81 – Approving a Street Vacation of Hilltop Avenue lying
easterly of State Trunk Hwy. No. 13 ROW and the westerly ROW Line of
Thomas Street (f/k/a Mississippi Avenue)
Introduction
The Council is asked to adopt Resolution 2017-81, which would approve a street vacation of Hilltop
Avenue lying easterly of State Trunk Hwy. No. 13 ROW and the westerly ROW Line of Thomas Street
(f/k/a Mississippi Avenue).
Discussion
The segment of Hilltop Avenue lies between the old Larson Garden Center site of 2160 Hwy 13 and the
Mendota Motel site of 2180 Hwy 13. This old roadway section was originally platted as “Doughty
Street” under the “Adelia Taylor’s Addition to the City of St. Paul” in 1887; and the street was re-platted
or dedicated later as “Hilltop Avenue” under the “Furlong Addition” of 1946.
Pursuant to State Statute 412.851 Vacation of Streets: “The council may by resolution vacate any street,
alley, public grounds, public way, or any part thereof, on its own motion or on petition of a majority of
the owners of land abutting on the street, alley, public grounds, public way, or part thereof to be vacated.
When there has been no petition, the resolution may be adopted only by a vote of four-fifths of all
members of the council.”
This platted right-of-way section is unbuildable or undevelopable on its own; serves no public purpose;
and is not in the best interest of the city to retain. Since Mr. Swenson has ownership of the abutting
[former] Mendota Motel property, and has entitlement authority over the Larson properties to the north,
the only party benefitting from this vacation process is Michael Development/Mendota Heights
Apartments.
Subject to the outcome of this public hearing process, this segment of unused Hilltop Avenue right of way
will essentially be added or incorporated into the new final plat of “Mendota Heights Apartments”, as
proposed by Michael Development of MN, LLC (refer to attached preliminary plat map).
Notice of this hearing was published twice in the local newspaper, and hearing notices were mailed to all
owners within 350-feet of the subject site, along with all registered property owners that may still lie
within the original Adelia Taylor’s Addition and the existing Furlong Addition.

Budget Impact
There are no budget impacts.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the city council adopt RESOLUTION 2017-81 – APPROVING A STREET
VACATION OF HILLTOP AVENUE LYING EASTERLY OF STATE TRUNK HWY. NO. 13
ROW AND THE WESTERLY ROW LINE OF THOMAS STREET (F/K/A MISSISSIPPI
AVENUE)
Action Required
Since this request was not initiated by a petition, any action to officially approve this street vacation
requires a 4/5th vote of the Council.

Conditional Use Permit for Hotel in the Industrial Zone
APPLICANT: WoodSpring Hotels (Wichita, KS)
PROPERTY ADDRESS: SE Corner of Northland Drive and Pilot Knob Road
ZONING/GUIDED: I-Industrial / I- Industrial
ACTION DEADLINE: October 27, 2017
INTRODUCTION
WoodSpring Suites Hotels (of Wichita, KS) is requesting a conditional use permit to develop and operate
a new 122 room, 4-story hotel on the vacant site generally located on the southeast corner of the intersection
of Northland Drive and Pilot Knob Road. The parcel is zoned and guided as I - Industrial District.
This item is being presented under a duly noticed public hearing process. A notice of hearing on this item
was published in the local South-West Review newspaper; and notice letters of this hearing were mailed to
all owners within 350-feet of the affected parcel. No comments/objections have been received.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Pursuant to Title 12-1L-6, any use allowed by a conditional use permit in the respective zoning district
requires submittal of a complete development or site plan for full consideration by the planning commission
and city council.
The subject site consists of 3.76 acres, and is currently owned by Northland Land Company. The proposed
project is a 122-room, 4-story extended stay WoodSpring Suites Hotel with total floor area of 48,657 square
feet. Construction will consist of grading the subject site, installation of new stormwater management areas,
utilities, parking lot, and the new hotel facility.
The site is bounded by Pilot Knob Road to the west, Northland Drive to the north, and the I-494/Pilot Knob
interchange ramp to the south. Lying directly east of the site is the existing Courtyard by Marriott hotel,
with Fairfield Inn & Suites on the other side of Courtyard. The hotel site will be accessed by two drive
openings off Northland Drive only. No direct access onto Pilot Knob Road is allowed.
Building Plan/Elevations
As noted previously, the new hotel consists of 4-story, 122 room/unit extended stay hotel facility. This
building is designed to be an executive, extended stay style suites hotel, with no restaurant, breakfast service
or swimming pool space inside the facility. The front and rear elevations of the hotel match-up nicely in
page 113
design; with a varied mixture of rough stone veneer; 4-in. brick materials; cement board siding; and 8-in
lap board siding and windows. The front entryway will have sloped, pre-finished metal canopy feature.
The two end-caps of the building are also designed to have the same stone veneer, brick and lap siding
features on each end, giving the entire building 4-sided architecture in appearance.
• Site Plan
Pursuant to Title 12-1G-7 Site and Structure Requirements for Industrial District uses, the following
standards are noted, with city staff responses (in italic print) following each:
A. Not more than fifty percent (50%) of the lot area shall be occupied by buildings.
• The proposed site is 3.76 acres, or 163,785 sf. The hotel’s footprint is approx. 12,165 sf. The
percentage of building to land ratio is approx. 7.5%, which is well under the 50% threshold.
B. Structure Height: No structure shall exceed forty five feet (45') in height.
• Plans call for the overall highest ridge point of the building to be 46’-11” from the first floor
elevation; however, building heights are measured form the lowest edge of a pitched roof line to
the highest (ridge) point of the roof, which measures to 42 feet in height.
C. Setbacks: Side Yards Abutting a Street on a Corner Lot: Side yard abutting a street on a corner lot
shall be not less than forty feet (40') in width.
• The hotel facility is setback approx. 175 feet from Pilot Knob Road ROW.
F. Floor Area Ratio: Floor area ratio shall not exceed 0.5.
FLOOR AREA RATIO (FAR) is the numerical value obtained through dividing the floor area of a
building or buildings by the lot area on which such building or buildings are located. In this case the
FAR is calculated as follows:
• TOTAL BLDG. AREA = 48,657 sf.
• LOT AREA = 163,785 sf.
• FAR CALC: 48,657 / 163,785 = 29.7%, which is well under the 50% standard.
G. Minimum Lot Requirements:
Lot Area: 1 acre / Lot Width: 100 feet
Front Yard Setback: 40-ft.
Side Yard Setback: 30-ft. or 40-ft. abutting street
Rear Yard 50-ft.
page 114
• The lot is 3.76 acres and exceeds the 1 acre minimum.
• The front lot width dimension of 541.43 feet and narrow width dimension of 303.5 feet, so both
dimensions exceed the 100-ft. standard.
• Front Yard setback (from Northland Dr.) is approx. 160-ft.
• Side Yard (easterly line) is 123-ft.; and the Side Yard abutting Pilot Knob is 175-ft.
• Rear Yard setback is 85-ft.
Parking Plan
The main area of parking is located along the front yard section abutting Northland Drive, along with two
smaller parking areas on the west and east sides of the hotel. Pursuant to City Code 12-1D-16 –Off Street
Parking regulations, a hotel requires 1 space per guest room. The plans indicate 135 parking spaces will be
provided, which is 13 more than required by code.
Parking area must meet a 20-ft, setback from any public road right-of-way and 10-ft. from a lot line. The
front parking lot is setback approx. 30-feet off Northland Drive ROW; and approx. 70-ft. from the easterly
lot line and 118-ft. from the westerly line.
The hotel site also included a 24-ft. wide access drive/emergency vehicle access from the side parking areas
to the rear of the building. Fire Dept. has reviewed the plans and the proposed access road, and determined
it to be acceptable.
A trash enclosure, although not fully detailed on the plans, is identified in the southeast corner of the
parking/access drive area of the site. The plans include a note: “Reference Architectural Plans for dumpster
enclosure details” – which have not yet been finalized or provided to the city for review. City Code requires
such trash enclosures must be made to match the exterior finishes of the principal building; and this will be
made part of the conditions of approval.
Grading & Drainage Plan
The grading plan shows some extensive grading will take place over the entire site. The easterly edge of
the site will be regraded slightly downward coming off the Courtyard-Marriott site (from 858 to 851
elevation), thereby creating a narrow drainage swale in this area, which is then reshaped upward from 851
to 855 at the parking lot surface.
The rear yard area will be re-shaped with a gentle slope from approx. 855 off the parking edge down to 846
+/- near the south edge of the site.
A fairly large and new storm water pond will be installed on the west side of the subject property, with
grades to match into this pond structure.
The site has 11 new storm catch basins spaced accordingly throughout the site along the outer perimeter of
the parking lot areas. All catch basins are connected and tie into the new stormwater pond to the west;
which eventually tie directly into the city storm sewer system in Northland Drive.
Landscape Plan
Pursuant to Title 12-1G-6, any new development in the Industrial District shall be landscaped with grass,
trees, shrubs, or other planted ground cover, in accordance with detailed landscaping plans prepared and
signed by a landscape architect.
The landscape plan includes a number of new plantings around the open spaces of the hotel grounds, and
around the outer areas of the hotel building. The plan calls for 27 new over story or deciduous type trees,
such as Autumn blaze maples, river birch, hackberry, hawthorn, Kentucky coffee tree, oaks and elms; along
with 19 new evergreen type trees, such as tamarack, Black Hills spruce and Austrian black pines; and 11
new ornamental trees, such as serviceberries and prairie fire crab-apples. The parking islands and entry-
points will also contain a variety of new plantings consisting of shrubs and perennials.
page 115
City staff would like to ensure that no plantings obstruct any vehicle sight-lines as they exit (or enter) the
site from Northland Drive. There are no other comments or objection by city staff on the proposed
landscape plans.
This same Code provision also states that “the owner shall have a continuing responsibility to maintain
such landscaping and any required screening in reasonable condition at all times.” The plans call for the
all new planting areas and lawn areas to be irrigated, which should provide for the daily maintenance and
care called for under this ordinance, along with the routine maintenance and care (mowing, weeding,
fertilizing, etc.) of the ground by on-site hotel management.
City Code also requires a bond in an amount not to exceed one and one-half (11/2) times the cost of
landscaping and screening shall be required to guarantee the placement and construction thereof as required
in this chapter.
Lighting Plan
The lighting plan calls for a limited number of lights on the new hotel site, with 7 new pole lights located
well within the parking lot and access drive areas. Three, 22-ft. high single-head lamps with LED lighting
will be installed in the front location of the hotel; with one single (22-ft. high) pole lamp on each side of
the hotel; and two (22-ft. high) pole lamps along the back side or off the rear access road. The three front
lights will have higher lumen readings of 37,499; while the two side lamps decrease slightly to 18,176
lumens and even more for the rear yard lamps at 15,052 lumens.
Pursuant to Title 12-1I-15, Lights for illuminating parking areas, loading areas or yards for safety and
security purposes shall create a reading of no more than 0.2 foot-candle at the shared property line with a
commercial or industrial use or public right of way, and shall create a reading of zero foot-candles at the
shared property line with residentially zoned property. The photometric (light intensity) plan for the site
indicates the new lighting meets these standards, and is approved.
Utility Plan
The utility plan calls for a new 8-inch sanitary service line will be brought into the site from Northland
Drive, with two new manholes – one near the west entry point off Northland, and the other located just west
of the new hotel building.
Domestic and fire service water lines will also be tied into the existing service lines under Northland Drive.
Two new fire hydrants are being provided inside the front parking lot area (island separators), and the
building should be equipped with a dedicated water standpipe for fire emergency purposes.
Electric, gas and telephone service lines will be brought into the site from the existing services under Pilot
Knob Road to the west.
Sign Plan
The sign identified on the site plan in the southwest corner of the property is the “Mendota Heights Business
Park” sign that was installed and maintained by United Properties many years ago as part of the overall
development of this Business/Industrial Park area of the city (see image below).
page 116
This sign is actually located within the large, triangular shaped easement, owned and controlled by United
Properties; and staff is willing to forgo or exclude this identification sign as part of the hotel’s new signage
requests made under this Site/Development plan application.
The site plans include some markers or indications of new signs near the two entrances and the rear yard,
but the plans were initially absent of any details. Staff received a separate comprehensive sign plan from
the developer, which is included as part of this plan submittal review.
The sign plan indicates four new wall signs, along with four new directional monument signs near the entry
points, and one large freestanding/pylon sign near the back SE corner.
The smaller entry monument signs are shown as 4-ft. (high) by 2’-10” wide. The sign face for each signs
is 5 sq. ft.
The freestanding sign to the rear is shown as a 25 foot high monopole; with a 96.45 sq. ft. sign cabinet.
The wall sign on the front elevation is shown with a 213.61 sq. ft. area, while the rear elevation has a 120.16
sq. ft. area. The two end-cap signs are shown with 177.32 sq. ft.
Per Sign Code 12-1D-15, any nameplate or business sign in the Industrial zone is allowed the sum of up to
2 sq. ft. of building frontage plus 1 sq. ft. of lot area not occupied by the building. Utilizing these standards,
the sign sizes could “theoretically” be calculated as follows:
Bldg. Length = 240-ft.
Lot Area (width) not Occupied by Building: 541.43 ft. – 240-ft. = 301.43 ft.
Total Sign Calc: [240 x 2 = 480 sq. ft.] + [301 x 1 = 301 sq. ft.] or 781 sq. ft. of sign area
The Sign Code however, states that “No individual sign surface shall exceed 100 sq. ft. in area…” All of
the wall signs exceed the 100 sq. ft. maximum, and the four directional signs near the entrances appear to
not meet Code for size and numbering. Only the freestanding sign appears to meet City Code. Without a
variance, none of these wall or entry monument signs would be approved.
Once again however, Title 12-1D-15. I provides the following exceptions:
4. Comprehensive Sign Plan: A comprehensive sign plan shall be provided for industrial
developments. Such plan, which shall include the location, size, height, lighting and
orientation of all signs shall be submitted to the Planning Commission for preliminary plan
approval regulations. Provided such a comprehensive plan is presented, exceptions to the
sign performance standards of this chapter may be permitted if sign areas and densities
for the plan as a whole are in conformity with the intent of this chapter and if such exception
results in an improved relationship between the various parts of the plan.
It is staff’s belief that the spirit and intent of this provision under Subpart I.4 above, may have been to allow
new, large scale type developments within the Industrial zone to present such a sign plan for official review,
and if the scale or scope of such a development warranted additional or larger sign allowances, such as the
case presented by WoodSpring Hotels, then the Planning Commission could accept the sign plan as
submitted; direct the Developer to adjust the signage; or direct the Applicants to seek a separate variance
to the City Sign Code to approve the oversized signs. The Planning Commission is asked to review and
consider the comprehensive sign plan accordingly, and make a determination and formulate a
recommendation to the City Council.
page 117
Traffic Analysis
As part of this new hotel review, staff requested the Developer provide a simple traffic analysis (trip
generation) regarding the new hotel use in this area. The Developer provided the following statement and
information:
“We compared the trip generation outlined in the 2014 SRF Traffic Study for the southeast corner or
Pilot Knob Road and Northland Drive to the proposed WoodSpring Suites Hotel project. The table below
provides a summary of trip generation based on the 2014 SRF study (gas station and hotel), and the
current development plan of a 122 room hotel.”
“Based on the trip generation analysis, the current development plan is anticipated to generate less traffic
that the previous study (49 PM trips vs 211 PM trips). Therefore, the current development plan will not
introduce any additional improvements along Pilot Knob Road than are currently being constructed.”
Aircraft Noise Attenuation
Pursuant to Title 12-4-1, the City finds that development within certain areas of the city is impacted by
aircraft noise; that said noise is beyond the regulatory authority of the city to control; that certain uses of
land are inappropriate in areas of high aircraft noise; that some structures do not adequately attenuate
aircraft noise resulting in negative impacts on the health, safety and welfare of the residents or inhabitants
of the structures; that, through proper construction methods, the means exist to attenuate aircraft noise to
interior levels which alleviate such negative impacts; and that the requirements of this chapter are necessary
to promote and preserve the health, safety and welfare of the citizens.
Review of the Metropolitan Airport Commission’s Noise Contour Map – 2016 indicates the subject site
appears to be inside the established “60 DNL” noise contour line. The DNL is defined as: “The day-night
sound level, or the twenty four (24) hour equivalent continuous sound level (time averaged A-weighted
sound level) from 12:00 midnight to 12:00 midnight, obtained after the addition of ten (10) dBA to sound
levels measured from 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM.”
Any application for a city building or occupancy permit pertaining to land located in an aircraft noise zone
must demonstrate compliance with the provisions of this chapter prior to the issuance of such permit. In
this particular case, any “Multiplex/apartment with a shared entrance” must attain a 25 lesser or more
reading from the established Leq factor of 60-70. The Leq is defined as follows: “The equivalent continuous
sound level which, over the period of one hour, has the same A-weighted sound energy as the time varying
sound.”
What this means is that all plans and specification for new buildings in this aircraft noise zone must
comply with the following [additional] standards:
page 118
a. All applicants for a building or occupancy permit shall include with the application all plans,
specifications or other information required by this chapter. The plans and specifications shall describe
in sufficient detail all pertinent features of the building, building materials, heating and ventilation
systems, including, but not limited to, the STC ratings of exterior roof/ceilings, walls, windows, and
doors; and other pertinent data as may be requested by the city to indicate conformance with the
applicable noise reduction level requirements as specified in the noise compatibility tables. To assure
the elimination of sound leaks, the plans and specifications shall demonstrate compliance with the
following standards:
(1) A mechanical ventilation system shall be installed that will provide the minimum air circulation
and fresh air supply requirements as provided in the state and uniform building code for the
proposed occupancy without the need to open any exterior doors or windows.
(2) The perimeter of all exterior windows and doorframes shall be sealed airtight to the exterior wall
construction.
(3) Fireplaces shall be equipped with well fitted chimney closing devices.
(4) All ventilation ducts, except range hoods, connecting interior space to outdoors shall be provided
with a bend such that no direct line of sight exists from exterior to interior through the vent duct.
(5) Doors and windows shall be constructed so that they are close fitting. Weather stripping seals shall
be incorporated to eliminate all edge gaps.
(6) All penetrations through exterior walls by pipes, ducts, conduits and the like shall be caulked
airtight to the exterior construction.
b. The city shall require that plans and specifications be certified by a recognized acoustical specialist
for compliance with this chapter. (Ord. 420, 1-20-2009
These standards are typically reviewed for full compliance by the City’s Building Official, who is well-
versed and experienced in working with architects, engineers, contractors, residents and developers in
making sure their plans reflect or incorporate these additional noise standards if needed.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT ANALYSIS
Pursuant to Title 12-1L-6, any use allowed by a conditional use permit in a particular zoning district requires
submittal of a complete development or site plan for full consideration by the planning commission and
city council. The [city] council shall consider the advice and recommendations of the planning commission
and the effect of the proposed use upon the health, safety, and welfare of occupants or surrounding lands,
existing and anticipated traffic conditions including parking facilities on adjacent streets, and the effect of
the proposed use on the comprehensive plan.
The City may grant a conditional use provided the proposed use will:
a) not be detrimental to the health, safety or general welfare of the community,
b) nor will cause serious traffic congestion nor hazards,
c) nor will seriously depreciate surrounding property value, and
d) that the same is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of this chapter and the
comprehensive plan.
page 119
A. The proposed use will not be detrimental to the health, safety or general welfare of the
community, nor will cause serious traffic congestion nor hazards, nor will seriously depreciate
surrounding property value.
Staff Response: The proposed interim hotel use should not be a detrimental to the health, safety and
welfare of the community, as the hotel use will be situated next to two other hotel uses in this area; and
staff is unaware of any negative impacts or detriments to health, safety or general welfare these existing
hotels may have created or imposed upon the community. The new hotel use should also reflect these
same ideals.
The new hotel should also be compatible with the existing adjacent office and high-end industrial uses
in the area, and should provide additional guest rooms for the surrounding business park. The existing
Marriott Hotel and Fairfield Inn seem to function quite well in this area and have been successful for a
number of years. Although a market demand study or similar was not submitted by the Developer, it
is assumed the developer did enough research on this site, the community and local (regional) area to
proceed with the project, and determined this would be an acceptable and suitable site for a new hotel.
The site has two access drives. The second access drive generally improves circulation and provides
an alternate access point in times of peak use and during emergencies. It is projected the number of
trips to and from the site would probably not result in any congestion problems at the two separated
entry points into the site.
It should also be important to point out, that Dakota County is completing a new traffic-separator
improvement project at the intersection of C.S.A.H. 31 (Pilot Knob Road) and Northland Drive. The
intersection will now have centralized raised median barriers, that only allow right hand or left hand
movements in dedicated lane systems; but no longer allows left-handed turning movements from
Northland Dr. back on to Pilot Knob Road (both southbound or northbound) – and no more cross-
over/through movements across Pilot Knob (see image below).
For those vehicles traveling westbound on Northland Drive and wishing to access the nearby I-494
system, they will be forced to turn right only, travel 1/8 mile up to Mendota Heights Road, turn left and
re-enter Northland Drive to the west (between Alltech and Minn. Knitting Mills), travel southward, and
come to the opposite side of the intersection of Northland and Pilot Knob, turn right and then gain
page 120
access to the freeway. Vehicles may also end up performing U-turns at the intersection of Mendota
Hts. Rd. and Pilot Knob (unless prohibited from doing so).
In any event, it will be important that the new hotel use informs its own guests how to safely exit and
re-enter the I-494 system as they depart from the site.
With the close proximity to the I-494 interstate systems, the City anticipates traffic levels to and from
the new hotel site should be minimal and nominal, with guests randomly leaving and arriving to the
site at different times and intervals throughout a normal business day or weekend periods. Staff again
is unaware of any traffic or vehicle conflicts, or history of accidents or incidents from vehicles entering
or leaving the adjacent hotel sites. Staff does not believe this new hotel use will not add or cause any
serious impacts to this area. The current roadway systems of Northland Drive and Pilot Knob Road
should adequately accommodate any new or increased traffic demands in this area.
B. The proposed use conforms to the general purpose and intent of the city code and comprehensive
plan.
Staff Response: City Code Title 12-1L-6 Conditional Use states:
“The development and execution of this chapter is based upon the division of the city into districts
within which the regulations are specified. It is recognized, however, that there are special or
conditional uses which, because of their unique characteristics, cannot be properly classified in any
district or districts without consideration, in each case, of the impact of those uses on neighboring
land or the public need for the particular location. To provide for these needs, the council may by
resolution approve a conditional use for those uses and purposes, and may impose conditions and
safeguards in such permits to ensure that the purpose and intent of this chapter is carried out.”
As indicated previously, the subject site is located in the Industrial Zone. Hotels are allowed as a
conditional use permit, which is the intent of this comprehensive development plan for the city to
adequately review and process. Other similar hotel uses have been allowed and appear to be successful
and flourishing in this industrial zoned area of the community. A thorough review of site infrastructure
improvements, utilities, stormwater management systems, building safety and other safeguards will be
thoroughly vetted and reviewed by city staff prior to, during and after any new building is constructed.
Therefore, it is Staff’s belief that proposed conditional use at this location, and specifically for the new
WoodSpring Hotel use, conforms to the general purpose and intent of the city code and comprehensive
plan, including all applicable performance standards
ALTERNATIVES
1. Recommend approval of the conditional use permit request, based on the findings of fact that the
proposed hotel use complies with the policies and standards of the City Code and is consistent with
the Comprehensive Plan, with conditions; or
2. Recommend denial of the conditional use permit request, based on the findings of fact that the
proposed hotel use is not in compliance with the City Code and is inconsistent with the
Comprehensive Plan; or
3. Table the request – and allow this item to be brought back for additional review at a designated
(future) meeting.

Lot 1, Block 6, Mendota Heights Industrial Park
Mendota Heights, MN
Project Overview
WoodSpring Hotels is requesting a conditional use permit to operate a hotel for an approximately 3.76
acre Site located on the southeast corner of the intersection of Northland Drive and Pilot Knob Road.
The parcel is zoned as I - Industrial District.
The proposed project is a 4-story extended stay WoodSpring Suites Hotel with an approximate total floor
area of 48,657 square feet. Construction will consist of grading the Site, construction of the stormwater
management area, utilities, parking lot, and a 4-story hotel.
The property is primarily vacant with a large monument sign in the southwest corner for the Mendota
Heights Business Park. The Site is adjacent to Interstate 494 to the south, Pilot Knob Road to the west,
Northland Drive along the north, and an existing hotel to the east. Two private driveways from Northland
Drive are proposed to serve the hotel.
The hotel meets the standard setbacks per the zoning code and does not exceed the maximum
allowable building coverage. The Site exceeds the minimum number of parking spaces required. A
Landscape Plan is provided, with plantings meeting the landscape standards of the zoning code.
Stormwater Management
Stormwater management will be provided onsite within a dedicated area on the northwest corner of the
property and then discharge to the City system. The system will be designed to meet the City of Mendota
Heights and the Lower Mississippi River Watershed Management District requirements.
Utilities
There are existing dry and wet utilities within the Pilot Knob Road and Northland Drive to serve the
proposed project. It is anticipated that the water and sanitary sewer will be served via the existing
mainlines within Northland Drive.

MEMORANDUM

Subject:WoodSpring Hotel – Pilot Knob Road & Northland Drive
Mendota Heights, Minnesota
WoodSpring Hotels is proposing to construct a 122-room hotel on the southeast corner of Pilot Knob
Road & Northland Drive in the City of Mendota Heights, Minnesota. A traffic memo has been
requested by City staff to quantify the number of trips that are anticipated to be generated by the
proposed hotel development. Also, the traffic study will provide a review of past studies performed
for this site and associated access changes along Pilot Knob Road that are currently under
construction.
Previous Traffic Study
SRF Consulting performed a Traffic Study for the subject property in May 2014. The study looked at
the traffic impacts of a mixed-use development including a gas station with convenience market and
20 fueling positions, and an 80-room hotel. Based on the Traffic Study, the following mitigation
measures were recommended:
-Convert the intersection of Pilot Knob Road & Northland Drive to three-quarter access
(eliminating the westbound left-turn movement).
-Provide a dedicated westbound left-turn lane at the intersection of Pilot Knob Road &
Mendota Heights Road to accommodate the increase in volume to the westbound left-turn
movements with the access change at Northland Drive.
Dakota County also performed a traffic analysis of the Pilot Knob corridor and concluded that these
improvements identified in the SRF study will be sufficient to accommodate future growth along Pilot
Knob Road and Northland Drive. With these improvements, the intersection of Pilot Knob Road &
Northland Drive is anticipated to operate at LOS A and the intersection of Pilot Knob Road & Mendota
Heights Road is anticipated to operate at LOS D.
Based on discussions with City staff, these improvements are currently underway and will be
completed within the next two to three weeks.

Proposed Trip Generation
As discussed, the previous Traffic Study assumed a gas station and hotel on the subject property. The
proposed project is a 122-room all-suites hotel without a fuel station. The table below provides a
summary of the previous and proposed trip generation forecast. Based on the analysis, the proposed
development plan is anticipated to generate approximately 49 PM peak hour trips, with the previous
development plan anticipated to generate 221 PM peak hour trips. Therefore, the current
development plan is anticipated to generate 162 less trips during the PM peak hour.

FROM: Tim Benetti, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Planning Case 2017-24
Wetlands Permit
APPLICANT: Tim Dyrhaug
PROPERTY ADDRESS: 1773 Sutton Lane
ZONING/GUIDED: R-1 One Family Residential/LR Low Density Residential
ACTION DEADLINE: October 27, 2017
DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST
Mr. Tim Dyrhaug is seeking approval of a new Wetlands Permit for his personal property located at 1773
Sutton Lane (see attached property map). This permit will facilitate the removal and replacement of
retaining wall systems in the back of his home, along with select removal of dead or diseased trees and
invasive/noxious vegetation in and around the area of work. The work will also include the
replacement/repair of a concrete footing pier supporting a three-season porch off the back of the home.
All new construction, related improvements, grading, and/or removals made within 100-ft. of a wetland or
water resource-related area requires a wetlands permit.
This item is being presented under a duly noticed public hearing process. A notice of hearing on this item
was published in the local South-West Review newspaper; and notice letters of this hearing were mailed to
all owners within 350-feet of the affected parcel. No comments have been received by the city.
BACKGROUND
The subject parcel is 17,447 sq. ft., or 0.40 acres in size, and contains an existing 1-3/4 story single-family
residential dwelling. The parcel is zoned R-1 and is guided LR-Low Density Residential development.
The subject property is located adjacent to three parcels owned by the City of Mendota Heights; and abuts
a parcel that contains an unnamed pond or water feature, which is also owned and maintained by the city.
Mr. Dyrhaug first approached city staff on performing some work to the rear yard, especially with the three-
tiered treated wood retaining wall systems, that are beginning to show impairment and impacts due to rot
and water damage. Mr. Dyrhaug pointed out that the failure of these walls is beginning to cause a slight
“tilt” or lean of one concrete footing pier that supports the upper 3-season room off the back of the home.
The repair and replacement of these retaining walls are imperative in saving or maintaining the needed
support pier system for the house.
page 155
Mr. Dyrhaug plans to replace the timber walls with a more decorative boulder wall system, which will be
designed and installed by a professional landscape company. The concrete pier will either be straightened
out or replaced if needed.
ANALYSIS
The purpose of the Wetlands Systems Chapter of the City Code Title 12-2-1 is to:
• Provide for protection, preservation, maintenance, and use wetlands and water resource-related
areas;
• Maintain the natural drainage system;
page 156
• 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 on the attached site plan (prepared by the homeowner), the lower two walls will be removed and
replaced with 4-ft. high, boulder style retaining walls. Since the walls are under 4-feet in height, there is
no need to provide any structural engineering design or approvals (sign-off). The upper wall repair near
the house is to remove the smaller wall system surrounding the air conditioning unit, and replace with a
smaller (same sized) wall system as well.
The aerial image below shows the work on the walls will take place approx. 110-115 feet from the pond
edge. No major work associated with the wall replacements, including grading and vegetation removals,
will take place near or next to the water feature.
In order to provide adequate space to perform the necessary repair work, the homeowner intends to remove
only a few dead or diseased trees and buckthorn located near the existing walls. Any mature tree of value
or not in the way of the project will be saved and protected during construction.
The homeowner indicated that after the new walls are installed, he will be planting some type of low ground
cover along w/ a cedar mulch. At the suggestion of city staff, the owner stated that he would provide native
plants or grasses in the disturbed area, provided they can actually grow in this rear-yard area due to the lack
of sunlight. City staff will work with the homeowner in suggesting or providing suitable alternatives to
ground cover that will work in this area.
In order to gain access to the lower part of the homeowner’s property, the owner has requested the City
grant temporary access through the city–owned parcel to the immediate south. A small construction
roadway, large enough to accommodate a small skid-steer loader, will be cleared and installed down to the
lower part of the site, which will assist in the removal of the old walls and vegetation; reshape/re-grade
areas as needed; and assist in the transfer and safe placement of boulder materials for the new walls.
After construction, all disturbed areas will be restored with new vegetation. All necessary erosion control
measures will be required prior to start of any construction work, which will be reviewed and approved by
the Engineering Department as part of the building permit application.
page 157
The scope and scale of this proposed repair project is relatively minor, and will be contained in a small area
of the rear yard. Due to this small scale of the project, the following statements are being presented for the
Planning Commission to review and consider in your determination of this wetland permit:
a) The work should have very little, if any impacts to the adjacent water feature;
b) the Owner will provide for the protection and preservation of the adjacent water resource-related
area by installing silt fence and stormwater run-off protection measures as per city staff direction;
c) the natural drainage way systems will be maintained during and after the project is completed; and
d) the Owner will make every attempt to minimize disturbance of the area in order to protect and
preserve the natural surroundings, avoid excess loss of vegetation, and avoid any impacts to wildlife
and aquatic organisms.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
1. Recommend approval of the wetlands permit request, based on the attached findings of fact that,
with conditions.
OR
2. Recommend denial of the 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.
OR
3. Table the request.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the Wetlands Permit request based on the attached findings of fact
(Alternative 1), with the following conditions:
1. Any land disturbance activities shall be in compliance with the City’s Land Disturbance Guidance
document.
2. An updated plan must be submitted for review by the Planning Department showing vegetation to
be re-planted within the disturbed areas of the project. This plan will include pollinator friendly
and/or native plantings/grasses that will grow and thrive in the over-shaded area of the rear yard.
3. For the agreed upon temporary right-of-access to the city-owned land to the south, including all
work to install, remove and restore said temporary access/construction road, the Owner/Applicant
shall provide evidence or proof of insurance that the City of Mendota Heights is waived from any

Wetlands Permit [After-the-Fact]
APPLICANT: Jim Carlson
PROPERTY ADDRESS: 1562 Wachtler Avenue
ZONING/GUIDED: R-1 One Family Residential/LR Low Density Residential
ACTION DEADLINE: October 27, 2017
DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST
Mr. Jim Carlson is seeking approval of a Wetlands Permit for his personal property located at 1562 Wachtler
Avenue (see attached property map). This permit would approve some site grading work that has already
taken place along the narrow creek (water feature) that traverses the owner’s rear yard; along with some
vegetation removal and the installation of a new wooden foot-bridge across the creek. Since most of this
work has been completed (almost 90%), this request is considered an “After-the-Fact” Wetlands Permit.
All new construction, related improvements, grading, and/or removals made within 100-feet of a wetland
or water resource-related area requires a wetlands permit.
This item is being presented under a duly noticed public hearing process. A notice of hearing on this item
was published in the local South-West Review newspaper; and notice letters of this hearing were mailed to
all owners within 350-feet of the affected parcel. No comments have been received by the city.
BACKGROUND
The subject parcel is 1.77 acres in size, and contains 5,345 sq. ft. single-family residential dwelling. The
parcel is zoned R-1 and is guided LR-Low Density Residential development.
On August 3, 2017, City Staff was notified by a concerned resident that an extensive grading or landscape
project was taking place on the subject property. Upon investigation and on-site inspection by city staff,
evidence of grading a removal work was documented; the property owner was issued a cease-and desist
(stop-work) order; and was ordered to contact city staff to explain the recent grading activities and address
future permitting issues.
On August 22, 2017, city staff met with Mr. Carlson on the subject property, whereby he explained that he
was new to the community and recently purchased the residence; and was completely unaware that he
page 168
needed a permit for such work; and agreed to stop all work (which he has done) and apply for the wetland
permit, per the direction of staff. Mr. Carlson was also instructed to install silt fence or erosion control
measures until the city reviews or considers this permit.
Coincidentally in 2013, the neighboring resident to the south, Mr. Edward Sweeney of 755 Wentworth
Avenue, was cited for doing similar grading and landscape work on his property, which also included some
work he had performed in this separated rear yard area now owned by Mr. Carlson The city approved a
similar after-fact wetlands permit under Planning Cased 2013-20, which allowed the work to be completed
and finished on both the 1562 Wachtler and 755 Wentworth properties (see attached site photos - 2013).
ANALYSIS
The purpose of the Wetlands Systems Chapter of the City Code Title 12-2-1 is to:
• 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.
Mr. Carlson indicated that most of the work was done to remove some buckthorn and other invasive weeds
and plants along the edge of his rear yard and along the creek edge. When Mr. Carlson discovered he
owned the small area of land on the other side of the creek, he had no way to get over that side of the creek
to mow this yard space without going through neighboring property owners land (see aerial image below).
Mr. Carlson began the process of grading a new access trail down to the creek edge, installed the small
wooden foot bridge for purposes of gaining access for a riding mower to this rear portion of his property,
and partially completed the access trail on the opposite side of the creek. Mr. Carlson has stated that most
of the grading and removal work he intended to do has been completed. He now wants to finish the project
by installing some Class-5 or similar angular rock roadway leading to and from the wooden foot-bridge (as
seen in the site photos – below).

Among the many purposes of the Wetlands Systems Chapter of the City Code is to provide for the protection
and preservation of wetland and water resource-related areas and to ensure earthwork within the buffer area
does not negatively impact surface water quality or create erosion issues. Removal of vegetation and
grading are allowed within the buffer area with a permit and compliance with the City’s Land Disturbance
Guidance Document. After the initial notification and installation of erosion and sediment control measures
by the applicant, the city staff reviewed the projected improvements and recommended the establishment
of a 25-wide (in even width) buffer area along the edge of the creek, which will be considered a no-mow/no-
disturbance zone along this water way. The buffer will be planted with a variety of new plantings and
vegetation that will help re-stabilize the creek embankments, and preserve and protect the water feature
form any additional runoff form the main property. All work and plantings will be finished and performed
page 170
in compliance with the City’s Land Disturbance Guidance Document. (Please note the Land Disturbance
Document may be accessed on the city’s website at:

The scope and scale of this proposed grading project is somewhat extensive; but is contained in a certain
small section of the rear yard. The Owner is genuinely sincere in his apology and regrets starting the
project without a permit, and is willing to comply with all city rules, directives and conditions to restoring
and completing this disturbed area of the property. With that in mind, the Planning Commission is asked
to review the following statements as part of your determination and consideration of this permit:
a) The existing work – and any additional work to complete the project, should have little, if any
impacts to the adjacent water feature;
b) the Owner will provide for the protection and preservation of the adjacent water resource-related
area by installing silt fence and stormwater run-off protection measures as per city staff direction;
c) the natural drainage way systems will be maintained during and after the project is completed; and
d) the Owner will make every attempt to minimize disturbance of the area in order to protect and

REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
DATE: October 3, 2017
TO: Mayor, City Council, and City Administrator
FROM: Ryan Ruzek, P.E., Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Mendota Heights Road & Kensington Street Improvements – Change Order #2
COMMENT:
INTRODUCTION
The Council is asked to approve Change Order #2 for the Mendota Heights Road & Kensington
Street Improvement Project consulting contract with Stantec.
BACKGROUND
Mendota Heights awarded a contract to Stantec for the design, surveying and inspection of the
Mendota Heights Road & Kensington Street Improvement Project, and awarded a construction
contract to Valley Paving for the installation of these improvements.
Stantec has advised the City that, due to unforeseen conditions and the inclusion of additional
tasks, the existing contract to the consultant will need to be modified.
DISCUSSION
Change Order #2 is a request from Stantec for an increase in the contract amount to perform the
necessary design, surveying, and inspection work due to the poor soil conditions, and additional
requested tasks. The request for extra compensation is due to:
• Surveying the area around the cattle pass as part of rerouting surface drainage
• Construction staking of curb lines (long distances replaced versus spot repairs)
• Existing curb was not of equal elevations, which required grade stakes to assist the
contractor’s grading operations
• Subcontractor American Engineering & Testing (AET) had to perform additional soil
borings to determine limits of underground historic water body
• AET was required to perform extra soil correction recommendations and additional
testing due to the wet soils which were encountered on and under Mendota Heights
Road
The additional time towards the project supervision and testing is determined to be $26,800.
BUDGET IMPACT
The estimated project cost for the Mendota Heights Road & Kensington Street Improvements
was $2,111,564; the contract with Valley Paving is currently $1,823,171.87.
page 183
The current contract with Stantec for the inspection portion of the project was for a hourly not-
to-exceed amount of $90,744, and $15,000 with AET. The additional work outside of this
contract plus the original scope of work would have a new contract amount of $111,834, and
$20,709.65 with AET. This equates to 7.3 percent of the contract amount. Indirect costs are
estimated at 20 percent of the contract. Additional indirect costs include staff time, sign
replacement, irrigation repairs, project design, soil borings, legal and bonding costs.
Funding for the change orders is not expected to have a major impact to the overall project costs.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that City Council approve Change Order #2.
ACTION REQUIRED
Staff recommends that the City Council pass a motion authorizing Change Order #2 for the
Mendota Heights Road & Kensington Street Improvement project. This action requires a simple
majority vote.

Ryan Ruzek,
Reference: Mendota Heights Road & Kensington Street Improvements
We are under contract to oversee and administer the construction contract for the
Mendota Heights Road & Kensington Street Improvements project awarded to Valley
Paving.
With Change Order 1 for Stantec’s contract, we have a total budget of $105,744 for
construction between Stantec and our sub-consultant American Engineering Testing.
Stantec is requesting an additional $26,800 in hourly not to exceed budget.
The following is a list of justifications for this budget increase:
1.Stantec performed a preliminary survey of the area north and south of the cattle
pass to design the grading to drain into the cattle pass.
2.Stantec has performed additional construction staking in areas of curb
replacement not anticipated in our proposal.
3.Stantec has performed blue-top survey stakes on Mendota Heights Road at the
request of the contractor. This was needed due to the existing curbs not being
equal elevations.
4.American Engineering Testing (AET) performed four borings in the area of the
buried historic water body to confirm the revised sanitary design would not impact
the firm cap above the soft wet soil.
5.American Engineering Testing (AET) performed additional soil testing on Mendota
Heights Road and gave soil correction recommendations between manholes 4
and 6.

FROM: Cheryl Jacobson, Assistant City Administrator
SUBJECT: Award contracts for Fiber Extension Installation and Lateral Connections
at City Hall and Public Works Buildings
COMMENT:
Introduction
The City Council is asked to award contracts for installation of conduit and fiber optic cable to connect to
the Dakota County fiber ring and to complete lateral connections from the fiber ring to City Hall and
Public Works buildings.
Background
At its July 18 meeting, the City Council approved the release of updated Request for Quotations (RFQs)
for the installation of conduit and fiber optic cable to connect to the Dakota County fiber ring (the
backbone extension) and to complete lateral connections from the fiber ring to City Hall and Public Works
buildings.
LOGIS, acting as project manager for the City, sent the RFQs to five state qualified contractors. Four
responses were submitted for the fiber ring extension project and two were submitted for the lateral
connections to City Hall and the Public Works building. The following is a summary of the quotes
received by project:
Project Vendor
Parsons Castrejon Comlink MPNexlevel Arvig
Fiber Ring Extension
(Backbone) $67,800.00 $74,092.00 $111,353.85 $101,739.00
Lateral to City Hall $8,714.00 $9,492.00
Lateral to Public Works $12,119.00 $10,494.00
LOGIS has reviewed the quotes and is recommending accepting Castrejon’s proposal of $67,800.00 for the
installation of the fiber backbone extension. LOGIS is also recommending accepting Castrejon’s proposal
page 187
of $8,714.00 for the completion of the lateral connection to City Hall. For the lateral connection to Public
Works, LOGIS is recommending accepting the lowest bid of $10,494.00 submitted by ComLink.
ComLink is the vendor currently working on the lateral fiber connection to the Fire Department.
In addition to the materials and installation, the installation or replacement of switches by LOGIS is needed
to complete the lateral connections to City Hall and Public Works. The cost of the switches is $6,000 for
the City Hall and $1,000 for Public Works.
If the contract awards are approved, staff recommends that LOGIS continue to serve as project manager on
behalf of the City. Project management hours would be billed based on actual hours, not to exceed 20
hours per project. LOGIS’s rate is $115 per hour. The maximum project management services cost would
be $2,300.00 per project.
Connection to the Dakota County fiber ring is identified as a City Council goal for 2017/18 and time is of
the essence for all three projects. If approved, the timeline for installation of the fiber backbone extension
and lateral connections will be fast tracked with completion planned for this fall.
Budget Impact
Staff has continued to work with Dakota County Information Technology staff on a cost sharing agreement
for installation of the fiber backbone. Dakota Country has agreed to a financial contribution of two-thirds
of the construction costs and will supply the materials for the project. If approved, the City will move
forward with the project and invoice Dakota County for their portion of costs when the project is complete.
Based on this agreement, the City’s share of construction cost plus project management services provided
by LOGIS would be $24,898.
The lateral connections to City Hall and the Public Works building are the responsibility of the City. Total
costs for the two projects is $30,808, which includes installation, switches and project management
services. If approved, the City’s portion of costs would be paid with funds made available from the City
Cable Fund.
Recommendation
Staff recommends the following:
• Award a contract for the installation of conduit and fiber optic cable to complete the fiber
backbone extension in an amount not to exceed $67,800 and a contract for the completion of the
lateral connection from the Dakota County fiber ring to City Hall in an amount not to exceed
$8,714 to Castrejon; and
• Award a contract for completion of the lateral connection from the Dakota County fiber ring to
Public Works to ComLink, in an amount not to exceed $10,494; and
• Authorize LOGIS to continue to serve as project manager with billable hours not to exceed 20
hours per project at a rate of $115 per hour; and
• Authorize the purchase and installation of new and replacement switches for use in the
completion of lateral connections to City Hall and Public Works buildings totaling $7,000 and to
be installed by LOGIS.
Action Required

• If the Council concurs, it should, by motion, approve the actions as recommended by staff and
listed above. One motion is sufficient for approval.

SUBJECT: City Hall Remodeling Contract Award
COMMENT:
INTRODUCTION
At its meeting of October 3rd, the City Council will be asked to award a contract for the lower
level remodeling and exterior masonry repair of Mendota Heights City Hall.
BACKGROUND
At the September 5th meeting, the City Council adopted the bid specifications, and authorized the
seeking of bids for work on City Hall which will provide for remodeling of the lower level of the
building—for both function and to repair areas where there has been mold remediation. In
addition, to address water issues, the work would also address repairs to the building relating to
the original masonry design.
Further information regarding the background is provided in the attached memo dated September
5th.
Bid Results:
On Thursday, September 28, 2017, eight bids were received and opened for the contract. In
addition to the base bid, there were three bid alternates:
Alternate #1—Remove showers in both the men’s and women’s locker rooms
Alternate #2—Corrective masonry work and window sealant replacement on the north
side of the City Hall building
Alternate #3—Same as #2, on the west side of the City Hall building.
page 190
Of the eight bids received, the lowest total bid was that of the Dering Pierson Group, LLC, of
Rogers, MN. Their bid of $15,000 for the shower removal has been determined not to be taken.
Therefore, adding the total of the base bid and Alternates 2 and 3, the overall bid is $228,000.
The architect’s estimate was in the range of $305,000 to $355,000.
The Council was informed at its September 5th meeting that some additional work was needed on
the west side of the City Hall building. That is currently being studied by a structural engineer,
and being charged through the architect. This is an item outside of the scope of the original work
and so will be an additional charge—more information will be provided on that.
The possible work additional work on the west sideof the building relates to the backfill of soil
on the west wall that appears to have been added after the original construction. The Council has
expressed interest in having any potential damage from that repaired at this time, if there is a
need to do so. It might be able to be accommodated as a Change Order. Again, the Council will
be kept informed on this.
BUDGET IMPACT
Budget Recap:
Funding to date on City Hall improvements that would come from the Water Tower Fund:
Proposed Contract with Dering Pierson $228,000
Architectural Services ($37,000 spent to date) 68,500
Mold Remediation remaining to perform 5,000
$301,500
Other expenditures proposed from Water Tower Fund:
Door Security System (elsewhere on 10/3 agenda) 39,817
Miscellaneous Carpeting replacement 10,000
Kitchen Appliances in break room 3,000
Contingency 10,000
Dewatering Project on south side of City Hall (11/16) 66,800*
129,617
$431,117
*This has been paid out of the Facilities Fund. The above figures show impacts if the
Council chooses to reimburse this fund from the Water Tower Fund. It does not have to do
that, which reduces the above impact to $364,317
There is approximately $500,000 available in the Water Tower Fund.
page 191
RECOMMENDATION
We recommend that a contract be awarded to Dering Pierson Group, LLC, for the City Hall
repair and remodeling project, for an amount not to exceed $228,000.
The funding of this project, along with the architectural services, is to come from the Water
We will recommend this to be awarded as a “not to exceed” amount. However, as this is a
remodeling project, it is likely that items which were unforeseen may surface, which may
necessitate Change Orders. We will keep the Council informed, should those happen

FROM: Mark McNeill, City Administrator
SUBJECT: City Hall Remodeling Plans and Specifications; Authorization to Seek Bids
COMMENT:
INTRODUCTION
The Council is asked to approve plan and specifications, and authorize the advertisement for the
remodeling of the lower level of Mendota Heights City Hall, and to perform masonry work to
remedy a source of water infiltration to the lower level.
BACKGROUND
The lower level of City Hall has experienced water infiltration issues for many years; that has led
to mold issues. The building was tested for mold last year, and the mold has either been abated,
or encapsulated (contained). Remodeling is now needed to make the abated rooms (currently,
the men’s locker room and elections storage area) usable again. Other rooms—the squad room
and women’s locker room—will need to have mold abated after completion of the remodeling of
previously impacted areas.
In February of this year, JEA Architects was hired to do design work.
Building Remodeling: In addition to the water-related remodeling, a number of changes to make
the Police Department (and elections storage area) more usable by the occupants have been
designed. This includes an additional office space for the Captain’s position; the potential
removal of showers to accommodate more lockers in the women’s locker room and duty bag
storage in the men’s locker room; and a remodeling of the squad room and break room to make
those areas more functional..
Because the interior work will need to be done while the building is occupied (necessitating the
shifting of occupied spaces), and because some of the work won’t be able to be completed until
now encapsulated mold is abated, the contract will call for work to be done in a total of 6 phases.
page 195
Water Infiltration/Exterior Masonry: During JEA’s work, a minor amount of water was
discovered to be still entering the building, which created the need for a specialist to be hired to
find the root cause. That company found that part of the water infiltration may be due to the
construction methods used when City Hall was built in the late 1980’s. They are recommending
that the bottom five courses of exterior brick be removed, and work done to fix flashing, seals,
and other internal ties.
All four sides should be done at some time, but the bid documents will include only the most
critical south side in the base bid; two of the three bid alternates provide for separate pricing for
fixing the other three sides. That way, depending on the pricing of the bids received, the City
could choose to do it all at once, or come back to fix the lesser priority locations at a future time.
If approved, the advertisement would be made on September 10th, and bid opening would be
September 28th. The contract would then be awarded on October 3rd. The interior work is not
time-critical, but the exterior masonry work should ideally be done prior to freeze-up.
Representative design sheets are attached. Complete copies of the plans and specification are
available for inspection at City Hall.
BUDGET IMPACT
The architect has estimated the cost range of the base bid to be between $305,000, and $355,000.
Funding for this would come from the Water Tower Fund.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend that the Council approve the plans and specifications, and authorize an
advertisement of bids for the City Hall remodeling project.
ACTION REQUIRED
If the Council concurs, it should, by motion approve the following resolution 2017-74:
