_________________________________________ City Council Work Session Memo
DATE: December 20, 2022
TO: Mayor, City Council and Parks and City Administrator
FROM: Ryan Ruzek, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: River to River Greenway Presentation
INTRODUCTION
The City Council will receive a presentation from Dakota County regarding a concept plan
for the River to River Greenway.
BACKGROUND
The River to River Greenway travels 7.7 miles from the Lilydale trailhead of the Big Rivers Regional Trail to Kaposia Landing in the communities of Mendota Heights, West St. Paul
and South St. Paul.
The greenway links:
•Valley Park
•Village at Mendota Heights
•Henry Sibley High School
•Dodge Nature Center
•Garlough Park and Elementary School
•Marthaler Park
•West St. Paul City Hall
•Robert Street commercial corridor
•Wentworth Library
•West St. Paul YMCA
•Thompson Oaks Golf Course
•Thompson County Park
•Kaposia Park
The greenway area contains a rich history with stories of key historical figures,
movement corridors, and open space preservation areas.
Dakota County developed a Master Plan for this Greenway in 2015 which was supported by the Mendota Heights City Council under resolution 2015-39. The Dakota County
5aCity Council Work Session | Tuesday, December 20, 2022 | Page 1 of 24
Board recently approved a fast tracking of developing construction plans for implementing the Greenway.
Elements of the proposed plan include an underpass of Dodd Road north of Highway 62
and realigned trail segments north of Marie Avenue. The realigned trail sections would have impacts to some vegetation in the park but would also provide an opportunity to
have looped trails and provide better access in the park.
REQUESTED ACTION
The Council is asked to interact with Dakota County staff on the proposed plan and
provide direction to the County on developing final construction plans. Once Dakota
County has direction on how to proceed with the Greenway improvements, the plan will
be presented to the Parks and Natural Resources Commissions for comments and
recommendations.

Tree Survey – Valley Park, Mendota Heights
Goal
•The existing trail resurfacing/widening, and the newly proposed trail/greenway alignments have expected
impacts on trees within Valley Park.
•Dakota County determined a tree survey would assess the impact of trees near the trail.
•This survey would also assess the feasibility of accomplishing goals set forth in City and County Natural
Resource Management Plans (NRMP) for restoring target native vegetative cover in these areas.
Method
•On 10/25/2022, Dakota County Staff determined that a full inventory of higher value trees north of
Marie Ave where the proposed construction footprint would necessitate tree removal.
•This tree survey did not account for ‘lower value’ trees such as boxelder, ash, cottonwood or aspen/poplar,
given that these trees are typically the first to grow back quickly in a site.
•Natural Resource Management Plans suggest that some areas occupied by ‘lower value’ trees could be
converted to and maintained as native prairie vegetation, and other areas could be replanted and
converted to higher value oak forests, woodlands or savannas.
Findings
•Within the pine plantation north of Marie Ave, a total of 41 white pine trees would be proposed for
removal.
•The pine trees within the construction boundary were found to be an average 12” in diameter, with two
trees greater than 20” in diameter, and most (80%) below 15”.
•An alternative alignment to the east of the plantation that would straighten the existing trail by the tennis
court would impact bur oak (4), pin oak (2), black cherry (2), and white pine (2).
•Additional impacts to the north included American elm (11), Northern pin oak (4) and Basswood (2) trees.
Some of these impacts can be reduced with narrower construction footprints.
Natural Resource Recommendations
•The trail alignment north of the tunnel that would travel through the pine plantation would be the least
impactful to higher-value ecological communities.
•The eastern alternative alignment that would straighten the trail near the tennis courts would have a larger
impact on higher value communities and would be at odds with Mendota Heights’ Natural Resource
Management Plan.
•Regardless of whether the trail will be built through the pine plantation, it is recommended that some
thinning of the pine plantation could occur. Many of the subcanopy trees are being shaded out and dying
and the size distribution is skewed towards smaller diameter trees, indicating competition. The County’s
River to River Greenway NRMP recommended removal of ~1/3 of the pines to allow for more diverse
trees and shrubs to grow in the subcanopy. A future projected forest canopy of mixed oak and pine forest
would be more resilient and support more biodiversity in future climate scenarios, compared to doing
nothing.

_________________________________________ City Council Work Session Memo
DATE: December 20, 2022
TO: Mayor, City Council and Parks and City Administrator
FROM: Ryan Ruzek, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: City Owned Lot on Lakeview Avenue
INTRODUCTION
The City Council is asked to provide a recommendation on selling a city owned lot on
Lakeview Avenue.
BACKGROUND The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) acquired land from properties
for the construction of the Mendota Interchange, Highway 55, and Lemay Lake Road. MnDOT released a parcel and portions of right-of-way to the city in 2010 and 2013.
Some of this released land was held by the Perron Family originally. The original
homeowner, John Perron and family members Steve Perron (son) and Spencer Perron (grandson) have inquired with the city about purchasing the original land parcel back
into the family to construct a single family home and return the property to the city tax rolls.
The lots in question were originally Lot 8 & Lot 9, Block 5 of the Furlong Addition. Staff
reached out to MnDOT and Dakota County. Dakota County was able to change the ownership of this parcel to Mendota Heights from MnDOT and combine the two lots
into one parcel based on the Quit Claim Deed issued to the city. MnDOT did not provide much information:
It looks like there is nothing in the deed, and also this deed is stamped “excess acquisition” at the top. If we bought this as excess, we could not sell it back to the original owners, supporting the
position that no such right of first refusal probably ever existed. That said, if they’re claiming they have a right of first refusal, they will need to produce some evidence of that as our records do not support their claim. We conveyed the property to the road authority for road purposes, the most correct thing to do would be to quit the title, but I’m sure many road authorities just vacate the road and sell it. That’s at their and the future property owners risk. I don’t think there would be a well-founded challenge from anyone challenging the conversion from road to other use, but I guess the risk always exists that someone will come up with a novel argument.
5bCity Council Work Session | Tuesday, December 20, 2022 | Page 15 of 24
The parcel now appears to be one lot of record totaling 20,965 square feet.
City Council directed staff to engage the neighbors before considering if the city would entertain an offer on this parcel. Letters were sent to all properties in the Furlong
Addition plat as well as all properties within 350 feet of the parcel. Two responses were received from this engagement and are included in the packet.
REQUESTED ACTION
The Council is asked if there is interest in selling city owned land for development of a
single-family residential home.
The city is under no obligation to sell the land, vacate the right-of-way, or to proceed with
any action. If the city chooses to sell the land, they are also under no obligation to sell to
the Perron family and could sell the property on the open market.
Next steps? Allow an offer to be presented to the city? Perform an appraisal?

Subject:Re: Lot 8 and 9, Block 5 Furlong addition along Lemay Lake Road
Ryan,
Thank you for the letter informing us of the planned sale of the property to the Perron's. I want to
share a concern about the construction of a home on that spot. I worry that removing that greenspace
will significantly increase the road noise coming from Highway 55. Between the low flying aircraft and
the multiple highways immediately north of Lemay Lake Road there is a lot of environmental noise
and I would hate for that to increase in the neighborhood.
Sincerely,
Matthew Spindler

Subject:RE: Perron family Parcel of Land
From: Gina Norling
Sent: Tuesday, November 1, 2022 1:45 PM
To: Ryan Ruzek <RRuzek@mendotaheightsmn.gov>
Subject: Perron family Parcel of Land
Hi Ryan,
Scott and I hope you are well. Thank you for sending the informational letter regarding the Perron family
parcel of land. We were in Egypt on vacation and did not receive the letter until late last week. Photo attached.
:)
Upon review, we have a some questions:
1. Will the house and/or construction plans be shared? House plans are generally not part of a public record
unless the home requires variances, etc. The lot is rather large so I would not think they need a variance for
anything. You may be able to stop in and see the plans but they would not be posted or mailed out.
2. Will the vegetation along LeMay Lake Road, adjacent to the parcel of land be maintained? Undetermined. I
am not aware of a house being designed on the site but assume some vegetation will need to be removed. There
is a large open area currently so I would not expect the lot to be clear cut.
3. Does the parcel already have a water main hook-up? No, sewer and water connection would need to be made
into the public utilities under Lakeview Ave.
4. Do the Perron's plan to live in the home? I believe so. The grandson and the son of the original owner both
attended a Council workshop. I assume the grandson would be building a home here.
5. Will this new housing project be circulated to the ARC for review? I believe the city code address building
requirements for homes within the airport noise overlay district. I am not aware of plans being routed to ARC
for review.
Kind regards,
**Gina
