PRESENTATIONS No items scheduled. PUBLIC HEARING No items scheduled. NEW AND UNFINISHED BUSINESS A) RESOLUTION 2023-25 MINOR SUBDIVISION AND VARIANCE AT PROPERTY GENERALLY LOCATED NEAR 1941 GLENHILL ROAD, PLANNING CASE 2023-03 Planning Consultant Jennifer Haskamp explained that the Council was asked to consider adopting a resolution of approval for a minor subdivision and variance of Outlot A, Valley View Oak 2nd Addition, generally located northeast of the Glenhill Road and Victoria Curve intersection, as requested by applicant Michelle Culligan, on behalf of Lawrence and Mary Culligan. Councilor Paper asked the city attorney for input on the classification of the driveway as being a legal nonconforming driveway. City Attorney Elliott Knetsch replied that he agrees with that description. Councilor Paper asked if the width of the driveway could be capped to prevent a wider section. Planning Consultant Jennifer Haskamp replied that a maximum width could be designated at 12 feet if desired. She stated that the Council would also have the opportunity to review the driveway design as part of the MRCCA Permit when that comes forward. Councilor Paper asked if that would provide enough space for two vehicles to pass. Planning Consultant Jennifer Haskamp replied that it would not but explained that a driveway does not need to be designed for two-way traffic, noting that driveways typically range from 12 to 15 feet in width. Councilor Paper referenced the elevation change for proposed Lot 2A and asked if there would be a lot of dirt work or retaining walls needed to create the building pad. Planning Consultant Jennifer Haskamp replied that the building pad location for that lot is quite flat. Councilor Paper referenced Lot 2B and asked for details on that elevation change, as it appears to be fairly minimal. Planning Consultant Jennifer Haskamp confirmed that there is minimal grade change for that proposed lot. City Council | Tuesday, May 16, 2023 | Page 2 of 75 Mayor Levine asked for clarification on elevation based on the provided maps. Public Works Director Ryan Ruzek provided more detailed information on the elevation changes throughout the property. Councilor Lorberbaum asked if approving the subdivision would imply that they are buildable lots. Planning Consultant Jennifer Haskamp confirmed that would be true, unless there were some issues that came forward during the design of the homes that proved otherwise. Councilor Lorberbaum stated that she did walk the driveway for Lot 2A, which seems very steep. She asked if the driveway could be required to be located elsewhere if there was concern about this location. Planning Consultant Jennifer Haskamp commented that the Council could agree that the barn driveway is the least impactful based on the information provided and the variance would be provided for that only. She stated that any other alignment of the driveway, if it crossed into the BIZ, would need to come forward for a new variance. She stated that another option would be to provide a variance for crossing of the BIZ and at the time of application the applicant would need to demonstrate that the alignment has the least amount of impact, whether that is to the trees or BIZ. Councilor Lorberbaum asked if the Council could state that they are not in favor of using the barn trail and would prefer a different driveway location. She noted that the area further north would seem to have less tree impact. Planning Consultant Jennifer Haskamp commented that the area to the north is actually within the bluff area designated by the DNR and therefore would require a different variance. She stated that if the Council agrees that the barn driveway alignment is not preferred, a variance could be provided allowing crossing into the BIZ for a driveway as long as it can be demonstrated to show the least amount of impact. Councilor Lorberbaum commented that appears to be a long driveway and asked if the Fire Department would be able to reach the home. Planning Consultant Jennifer Haskamp replied that she spoke with the Fire Chief the previous day and the fire code does not permit the review of the Fire Chief for a driveway to a single home. She stated that it is the responsibility of the property owner to ensure a fire truck could reach their home or assume that risk. She noted that in those cases, an insurance company for the homeowner may require sprinkling of the home if a fire truck were not able to reach the home. She commented that she believes that the house pad would be within 600 feet of the hydrant. Councilor Lorberbaum referenced proposed Lot 2B and asked if the curve would create a hazard for those entering and exiting the driveway. Public Works Director Ryan Ruzek replied that there is not a City code which would prevent the location of the driveway for that lot. City Council | Tuesday, May 16, 2023 | Page 3 of 75 Councilor Mazzitello asked if it would be possible to include language in the variance approval that the variance is for impacts necessary to create a safe driveway and the applicant for the subsequent MRCCA Permit could propose a driveway and provide supporting reasons. Planning Consultant Jennifer Haskamp replied that could be done but suggested that a qualifier be included such as minimal impact to the BIZ. Councilor Mazzitello referenced proposed parcel 2B, noting that this is the second lot split within a number of months that has come forward. He stated that residents have expressed concern that there would continue to be proposed lot splits for that area. He asked if a condition could be placed upon approval that would specify that any future proposed lot splits would need to wait until the certificate of occupancy (COO) is received for lot 2B. Planning Consultant Jennifer Haskamp confirmed that condition could be added. Councilor Mazzitello recognized that the City cannot prevent a future lot split request. Mayor Levine asked for clarification on the lot widths, and staff provided that clarification. She stated that she received a number of emails from residents with concerns as to whether the driveway could handle heavy machinery. She asked if that would be addressed in this process or in the future. Planning Consultant Jennifer Haskamp commented that the design of the driveway and home would be under a future MRCCA Permit and would not be included under this request. She commented on the process that would be followed to design the driveway and ensure that it would provide safe access. Mayor Levine commented that there are other ways to create access into the property, noting that it could be moved over slightly outside of the BIZ but that would require more tree removal. She stated that the question before the Council is what is the least impactful route. Planning Consultant Jennifer Haskamp confirmed that the route outside of the BIZ would require significant tree removal and most other routes would still require a variance to encroach into the BIZ. Councilor Paper asked if there would be a utility easement for Lot 2A and whether that lot would be on septic. Public Works Director Ryan Ruzek provided details on the proposed utilities. Councilor Paper asked if a retaining wall would count towards the width of a driveway. Planning Consultant Jennifer Haskamp commented that the driveway has not yet been designed and therefore the suggestion of Councilor Mazzitello to not specify the width but ask that the driveway be designed in a safe manner with the least amount of impact makes sense. Mayor Levine invited the applicant to address the Council. Michelle Culligan, applicant, stated that she is present to address any questions. She stated that they completed significant soil borings in preparation for the previous development request and came to the City Council | Tuesday, May 16, 2023 | Page 4 of 75 conclusions that this area was buildable. She stated that the previous development involved a lot more infrastructure. She stated that they reevaluated after the last request in a manner that would provide some value to her parents that have lived on the land for years. She stated that they would not have an issue with the suggestion of Councilor Mazzitello to require that the COO be obtained prior to another lot split request. Mayor Levine commented that the Council has watched the public hearing and read the emails and letters received from residents. She invited audience members to speak. There were no audience members that spoke. Councilor Mazzitello moved to approve RESOLUTION NO. 2023-25 APPROVING A LOT SPLIT (MINOR SUBDIVISION) AND VARIANCE AT OUTLOT A, VALLEY VIEW OAK 2ND ADDITION, PLANNING CASE 2023-03, WITH THE FOLLOWING AMENDMENTS: 1.UNDER NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, NUMBER FOUR SHOULD READ “THE PROPOSED VARIANCE TO ENCROACH INTO THE BLUFF IMPACT ZONE USING THE EXISTING BARN DRIVEWAY ALIGNMENT TO CREATE A SAFE ACCESS TO THE PROPERTY WILL HAVE THE LEAST IMPACT TO EXISTING VEGETATION AND TOPOGRAPHY AND MINIMIZES THE VARIANCE REQUEST TO THE EXTENT POSSIBLE; 2.UNDER BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, ANOTHER CONDITION FOUR WILL BE ADDED STATING “ANY SUBSEQUENT LOT SPLITS CANNOT TAKE PLACE UNTIL CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY IS RECEIVED ON LOT 2B. Councilor Paper seconded the motion. Councilor Lorberbaum asked if the amendment would encourage the use of the existing barn driveway rather than asking the applicant to come back with a driveway that would be the least impactful to the BIZ and existing vegetation. Councilor Mazzitello replied that condition three under be it further resolved states that future improvements and development, including the modification and expansion of the barn driveway would be subject to further MRCCA review and all future permit requirements. He stated that his condition would state that the driveway should be least impactful and demonstrated on the future application. Councilor Lorberbaum clarified her understanding of Councilor Mazzitello’s statement in that the council motion encourages the use of the barn driveway, and if so, it would cause her to vote against it. She stated that she would prefer to see language that states the applicant would need to show the proposed design and why it would be least impactful. Councilor Mazzitello explained that he is recommending using the barn driveway alignment. He stated that as an engineer walking the site and understanding the codes and requirements of the MRCCA, he believes that utilizing that alignment would be the least impactful to the critical area because of the minimal amount of fill or excavation because the alignment is already compacted. He noted that this City Council | Tuesday, May 16, 2023 | Page 5 of 75 would also be the least impactful to existing vegetation. He noted that running the driveway down the finger area of the lot would require significant vegetation removal. Councilor Lorberbaum stated that while she respects that knowledge and opinion, she will be opposing this as she is concerned with use of the barn driveway. Councilor Paper commented that he is satisfied with the request as proposed as this seems to be a good compromise to allow development of the property. Councilor Miller commented that he agrees that the path of least resistance is use of the barn drive as it has had traffic on it and there are not mature trees growing in that area. He stated that if they choose another route, there would be mature trees cut which would degrade the soils near the bluff area. He stated that he supports using the existing drive as it would create less work, less potential headaches, and less impact of future development. He had concern with the amount of leniency that would be given in terms of width and looked forward to discussion on that when the application comes forward. He commented that he believes that residents have a right to develop their property, and this is a much better plan than the previous plan that came to the City. He stated that this could create something nice that fits into the essence of this area and with surrounding homes. Councilor Lorberbaum agreed with Councilor Miller’s statement that the owners of the property have the right to develop, and this is a better plan but believes they could do even better. Mayor Levine commented that this area has been identified as buildable in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. She stated that the lot split conforms to City Code and would be permitted, therefore it would come down to the variance. She stated that the variance should be the least impactful to the BIZ and it is clear to her, after walking the driveway, that the barn driveway is the least impactful location for a driveway. She agreed with Councilor Miller that any other route would not be good for the bluff. She stated that the MRCCA Permit will provide a secondary layer of review to ensure everything is done according to MRCCA rules. Councilor Paper appreciated that this would remove the least amount of vegetation. Ayes: 4 Nays: 1 (Lorberbaum) B)RESOLUTION 2023-26 VARIANCE AT SAINT THOMAS ACADEMY, PLANNING CASE 2023-04 Planning Consultant Jennifer Haskamp provided a brief background on this item. The Council was being asked to consider adopting a resolution of approval for a variance at 949 Mendota Heights Road as requested by the applicant, Saint Thomas Academy. Councilor Paper asked how this would compare to the Two Rivers natatorium. Ryan Hoffman, owner’s representative for the applicant, commented that he also worked on the Two Rivers project noting that natatorium has a capacity of 325 and is much larger in size. He commented that the two would be comparable in height and provided details on the diving well. City Council | Tuesday, May 16, 2023 | Page 6 of 75 Councilor Paper asked if the building would match the existing gym. Mr. Hoffman confirmed that the two heights would be very comparable. Councilor Lorberbaum commented that the property has a workable pool that the applicant wants to expand. She asked the city attorney for legal clarification about what is the plight that is unique to the property that’s not created by owner of the property. City Attorney Elliott Knetsch stated that it is the role of the Council to make the findings that would support issuance of a variance. He stated that it is not his role to state whether or not the variance should be given. He stated that in speaking with staff there are unique elements of the property in that this is a school in an R-1 district but without residential neighbors. He stated that the overall question to the Council is whether the request would be reasonable. He acknowledged that the applicant does have a pool but desires to expand that and make the facility more modern and up to date. Councilor Mazzitello asked if the elevation of the existing natatorium matches the height of the existing structure. Planning Consultant Jennifer Haskamp replied that the existing natatorium is shorter than the main building by less than one story. Councilor Mazzitello commented that because schools are a permitted use rather than a conditional use, the standard the applicant is asking for a variance against is how the height is measured for residential structures. He noted that this is not a residential structure. He applauded staff and the Planning Commission for the first condition to not require additional parking, as he would not want to see unnecessary impervious surface. Mayor Levine agreed that parking should be reviewed holistically noting that most swim meets are at night when the student parking would be available. Councilor Mazzitello moved to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 2023-26, APPROVING A VARIANCE AT 949 MENDOTA HEIGHTS ROAD (SAINT THOMAS ACADEMY PLANNING CASE 20234-24). Councilor Paper seconded the motion. Councilor Paper commented that this will be the second quality swimming facility in the community, and it will be a great addition to the school and community. Ayes: 4 Nays: 1 (Miller) C)RESOLUTION 2023-24 AMENDMENTS TO THE SAINT THOMAS ACADMY CONDUIT DEBT Councilor Lorberbaum recused herself from the discussion. City Council | Tuesday, May 16, 2023 | Page 7 of 75 Finance Director Kristen Schabacker stated that the City Council is asked to pass the resolution consenting to amendments to Saint Thomas Academy conduit debt and execute the Third Amendment to Educational Facilities Revenue Refunding Note, Series 2010. Councilor Paper asked if the City has a lot of these. Finance Director Kristen Schabacker replied that it does not come up that often and provided two other examples. Councilor Paper asked if there are additional requests that are anticipated prior to June. Finance Director Kristen Schabacker replied that she did not anticipate further requests in that timeline. Mayor Levine asked staff to provide more details on conduit financing. Finance Director Kristen Schabacker provided a summary of conduit debt financing and how the City issues that type of financing using its policy. Councilor Paper moved to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 2023-24 APPROVING THE EXECUTION OF THE THIRD AMENDMENT TO EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES REVENUE REFUNDING NOTE (SAINT THOMAS ACADEMY, SERIES 2010 AND AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF DOCUMENTS RELATED THERETO. Councilor Mazzitello seconded the motion. Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 Councilor Lorberbaum rejoined the Council. D) CITY COUNCIL STATEGIC PRIORITIES City Administrator Cheryl Jacobson explained that the Council sets strategic priorities at each two-year mayoral election cycle. The City Council has discussed and reviewed priorities and goals for 2023-2024. Mayor Levine thanked both the Council and staff for collaborative work on this refresh of the goals and priorities that were created two years ago. Councilor Lorberbaum moved to CONFIRM AND ACCEPT THE 2023-2024 STRATEGIC PRIORITIES AND GOALS. Councilor Miller seconded the motion. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 COMMUNITY ANNOUNCEMENTS City Administrator Cheryl Jacobson announced upcoming events and activities. City Council | Tuesday, May 16, 2023 | Page 8 of 75 COUNCIL COMMENTS Councilor Miller noted that this month is No Mow May and asked residents to be patient with those that are choosing to participate. He thanked the residents that are participating in the initiative. Councilor Lorberbaum commented on the Par 3 celebration. She stated that the Par 3 is a great example of community participation where residents and businesses came together. She reviewed the history of how the City acquired the course through use of a referendum. She commented that 15 years have passed since that time and has become successful while other courses have closed. She recognized the hard work of staff to make the course more sustainable with increased participation. She encouraged residents to stop in at the course on May 6 to celebrate the bond payoff. Councilor Mazzitello agreed that No Mow May is a great chance to support pollinators. He stated that it is encouraging to see people investing in their properties during the spring. He advised of a local production of Mama Mia and encouraged residents to attend. He wished residents a happy Cinco de Mayo. Councilor Paper noted that applications are available for the upcoming Scott Patrick Memorial 5k. Mayor Levine noted the recent Arbor Day and Earth Day events and thanked the volunteers that participated in clean-up and plantings. She encouraged residents to continue clean-up efforts before the green up occurs. ADJOURN Councilor Mazzitello moved to adjourn. Councilor Paper seconded the motion. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 Mayor Levine adjourned the meeting at 8:43 p.m. ____________________________________ Stephanie B. Levine Mayor ATTEST: _______________________________ Christine Lusian City Clerk City Council | Tuesday, May 16, 2023 | Page 9 of 75 City Council | Tuesday, May 16, 2023 | Page 10 of 75 CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS DAKOTA COUNTY STATE OF MINNESOTA DRAFT Minutes of the Joint City Council – Planning Commission Work Session April 24, 2023 Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, a work session of the City Council and Planning Commission, City of Mendota Heights, Minnesota was held at Mendota Heights City Hall, 1101 Victoria Curve, Mendota Heights, Minnesota. CALL TO ORDER Mayor Levine called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m. Council members Lorberbaum, Mazzitello, and Paper were present. Councilmember Miller was absent. Planning Commission members present included Commissioners Field, Johnson, Petschel, and Udell. Commissioners Stone, Katz, and Corbett were absent. Staff in attendance included City Administrator Cheryl Jacobson, Public Works Director Ryan Ruzek, Interim Planner Jennifer Haskamp and Jess Stone of Swanson-Haskamp Consulting, Assistant City Administrator Kelly Torkelson, City Clerk Christine Lusian. Four members of the public were present. ZONING CODE REVIEW DISCUSSION Mayor Levine opened the meeting and Planning Consultant Jennifer Haskamp provided an introductory summary of the city’s zoning code update purpose and process. She noted that the meeting was the first opportunity to review and discuss the full draft of the zoning code. Planning Consultant Haskamp explained that the process has built off of the work of the Planning Commission, the City Council, residents, and existing and past city staff. She reviewed that the goals of the revision are to make the code easy to use, remove ambiguity and repetition, encourage reinvestment/investment while protecting existing character and development patterns, address non- conforming lots/areas, make roles and decision making clear, and generally to create a more usable zoning code. She noted that the Zoning Code should reflect the approved 2040 Comprehensive Plan. Planning Consultant Haskamp explained that while the structure and organization of the chapter has changed, the majority of the policy and regulations have not changed and remain consistent with the current zoning ordinance. Planning Consultant Haskamp stated that the Planning Commission has reviewed Chapter Two of the draft and that the meeting and discussion would focus primarily on that chapter. Before reviewing the Chapter Two updates, the group reviewed the other chapters and their significant changes. City Council | Tuesday, May 16, 2023 | Page 11 of 75 5b. Planner Consultant Haskamp stated that Chapter Three provides a central location within the code for all allowed and prohibited uses and introduces administrative permits. This is a new concept within the code meant to streamline the process for items that do not rise to the level of a Conditional Use Permit review. She requested that Commissioners and Councilmembers let her know if they think that something should be moved to an administrative permit. Councilmember Paper asked for clarification regarding how cannabis legalization was addressed in the plan. Planning Consultant Haskamp replied that the current draft did not address it at this time, as staff were waiting for guidance from the final law before incorporating it into the code. Planning Consultant Haskamp explained that Chapter Four focuses on building, character and design standards. The requirements outlined in the draft strive to achieve architectural consistency and to ensure that development or redevelopment is compatible with adjacent and surrounding properties. Planning Consultant Haskamp stated that Chapter Five relates to administration and conformance and establishes the general process and procedures for all land use applications that are contained in the city’s zoning ordinance. She noted that by centralizing this process within a specific chapter, the draft will be better able to maintain consistency in how the process is administered and updates to the code will be able to be consistently applied. Planning Consultant Haskamp explained that Chapter Six relates to the Critical Area Overlay District and no significant changes were made to the chapter. Planning Consultant Haskamp reviewed Chapter Seven rules and definitions. Planning Consultant presented information and changes included in Chapter Two relating to zoning districts and highlighted the re-named and modified zoning districts and those districts which were removed because they were not used in the previous ordinance. Planning Consultant Haskamp reviewed the draft zoning map. The Commission asked if there was a reason that the Somerset Neighborhood was excluded from the proposed zoning map. Planning Consultant Haskamp clarified that it was an unintentional oversight and that it would be corrected in the draft moving forward. Commissioner Johnson asked about how the city could set evaluation criteria for restrictions. Consultant Planner Haskamp gave the example that if the city was trying to protect the environment of the Rusty Patch Bumblebee that it could require an analysis from the applicant about the impacts on that species as a part of their application. City Council | Tuesday, May 16, 2023 | Page 12 of 75 Planning Consultant Haskamp presented information on the proposed Traditional Neighborhood Overlay (TN-O) District, a new overlay district for the zoning code. She explained that the overlay district designates areas in the community that were developed prior to 1981 with a traditional neighborhood pattern that includes smaller lot sizes and reduced setback requirements. Councilmember Mazzitello stated that the original goal was to have the TN-O cover the entire city. The group discussed further the purpose of the TN-O to set guidelines for how impacted properties, which do not fit the R1 zoning standard, would be able to be changed moving forward in line with the character of the neighborhood. It was noted that the TN-O prohibits further subdivision that does not comply with R-1 dimensional standards. Councilor Mazzitello discussed his interest in allowing property owners to replace what they already have. In addition, he wanted to maintain property owner’s ability to make changes that would meet the standards outlined in the R-1 zone. Commissioner Johnson asked about how structures on properties such as playgrounds, pergolas or swing sets would affect the calculation for impervious surfaces. Planning Consultant Haskamp explained that it would depend if the structure included an impervious surface or not. Councilmember Mazzitello expressed concern about the limits of the side yard setbacks. Planning Consultant Haskamp explained that as written, the code says that if the structure is less than 100 feet set back then the average of the neighboring properties is used for the standard. She stated it was drafted this way to align with the stated goal for neighborhood consistency. Planning Consultant Haskamp closed the presentation and discussion by inviting the Council and Commissioners to send her their handwritten notes and edits. ADJOURN Mayor Levine adjourned the meeting at 8:30 pm. ____________________________________ Stephanie B.

City Council | Tuesday, May 16, 2023 | Page 16 of 75 Request for City Council Action DATE: May 16, 2023 TO: Mayor, City Council, and City Administrator FROM: John Boland, Public Works Superintendent SUBJECT: Approval to Purchase Streetlight Control Cabinets INTRODUCTION The City/Public Works has five streetlight control cabinets throughout the city. Four of these streetlight control cabinets need to be replaced. BACKGROUND These streetlight control cabinets were installed in 1987. These control cabinets operate the streetlights and need to be replaced due to age and corrosion. Replacement of these cabinets would include a new concrete foundation with conduit and wiring to the transformer and a new aluminum cabinet with breakers and wiring. Staff received estimates in the spring of 2022 for the replacement of four control cabinets and also received new quotes this spring. The bids received were: Mid Northern Services $52,000 Collins Electric $57,282 Arcade Electric $59,500 BUDGET IMPACT Expenses for the purchase and installation of the four streetlight control cabinets would come out of the Street Light Fund. Staff had budgeted for replacement of these cabinets in the CIP to be done over the next four years and there are funds in the budget to replace all four this year. RECOMENDATION Staff recommends that the Mendota Heights City Council approve the low bid from Mid Northern Services for $52,000 for the purchase and installation of four streetlight control cabinets. ACTION REQUIRED If Council concurs with the staff recommendation, they should pass a motion to approve the low bid from Mid Northern Services for $52,000 for the purchase and installation of four streetlight control cabinets. This action requires a simple majority vote. City Council | Tuesday, May 16, 2023 | Page 17 of 75 5d.

INTRODUCTION The Council is asked to authorize the Natural Resources Coordinator to sign a contract with Great River Greening for their 2023 work plan for the management of invasive species and prairie and oak savanna management within the Oheyawahe/Pilot Knob Historic Site. BACKGROUND Mendota Heights has been working with Great River Greening on invasive species management and native species restoration on the Oheyawahi/Pilot Knob Historic Site for several years. Great River Greening has worked with the City to manage this restored native prairie and oak savanna community since the City acquired the site in 2006. Great River Greening has submitted its 2023 Work Plan for the site, attached as Appendix A in the attached contract. The 2023 work plan for the Oheyawahe/Pilot Knob Historic Site includes seeding and native vegetation establishment of areas that were controlled for monocultures of invasive species, targeted control of specific invasive species, preparation of the south unit for a 2024 spring burn including establishing burn breaks, and educational events with groups such as students from the All Nations program at South High School in Minneapolis. The City contribution for this work is $15,000. BUDGET IMPACT City Council has annually included funding in city budgets for management of the Oheyawahi/Pilot Knob Historic Site. The available amount in the 2023 City Budget for this effort is $15,000 for the Oheyawahi/Pilot Knob Historic Site. Great River Greening’s proposal is $15,000 for Invasive Species Control and Restoration as discussed above for the work at the Oheyawahi /Pilot Knob Historic Site. City Council | Tuesday, May 16, 2023 | Page 19 of 75 5e. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that City Council approve the 2023 work plan proposed by Great River Greening for invasive species control and site restoration within the Oheyawahe/Pilot Knob Historic Site.

BACKGROUND The preparation of a feasibility report for the Victoria Curve Street Improvements which is required to follow the Minnesota Statutes Chapter 429 process was authorized by the Mendota Heights City Council by adopting Resolution 2022-63 at the City Council meeting held on August 16, 2022. The Statute 429 process is required because the city intends to assess a portion of the project. The feasibility report for the Victoria Curve Street Improvements was accepted by the Mendota Heights City Council and called for a Public Hearing on January 17, 2023 by adopting Resolution 2022-97 at the December 20, 2022, city council meeting. The recommendation of the feasibility report was to proceed with this project. The proposed streets to be rehabilitated are Victoria Curve and Orchard Hill. Based on staff observations, as well as the pavement management system, a majority of these streets have deteriorated to the point where it is no longer cost effective to patch the street and rehabilitation is necessary. Council ordered the Victoria Curve Street Improvements at their February 7, 2023 meeting. DISCUSSION The total estimated construction cost of the project is $1,417,224 not including indirect costs. Due to the size of the bidding package (522 page specifications, 81 construction plan sheets), the plans are not included in the packet. The entire plan set is available for viewing at city hall, the three sheets with roadway configuration changes adjacent to city hall and Beth Jacob are included. City Council | Tuesday, May 16, 2023 | Page 55 of 75 9a. Residents along Victoria Curve between Hunter Lane and Glenhill Road are requesting the street be rehabilitated without an off-street trail. The plans for this project would not include any roadway configuration changes between Hunter Lane and Highway 13 with the exception of reducing the driving lane widths from 12 feet to 11 feet allowing for the shoulders to be increased from 6 feet to 7 feet. This configuration will allow for shared parking/pedestrian use of the shoulders. The project is proposing to add a parking lane adjacent to the Mertensotto/Civic Center Field and in front of Beth Jacob on the north side of the road. The existing parking will also remain on the south side of the roadway. The addition of the parking lane will require that a silver maple tree be removed from behind home plate. There will be a small retaining wall, and a stairway leading from the parking lane to the field. The portable toilet will also be relocated to a concrete pad away from the spectators. No alignment changes are proposed for Orchard Hill except for the addition of pedestrian ramps along Lexington Avenue. Victoria Curve currently prohibits parking along the north side of the street from Lexington Avenue to Hunter Lane. The attached ordinance amendment will reduce the current parking restriction to just the wetland area from Mertensotto field to Beth Jacob. This will allow for parking from City hall to Mertensotto field as well as in front of Beth Jacob. Parking will still be allowed on the south side of the roadway except for adjacent to the wetland area across from city hall which has too steep of slopes to allow for parking. BUDGET IMPACT Street improvement projects are proposed to be assessed to the benefiting property owners. Pursuant to the City’s Street Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Policy, the benefiting properties should be assessed 50% of the street reconstruction and rehabilitation costs. The following tables show the estimated unit assessments based on the City policy. Project Total Total Estimated Costs Street Improvements $ 1,093,589 Indirect Costs for Street Improvements (20%)* $ 218,718 Total Costs for Street Improvements $ 1,312,307 Trail Improvements $ 126,827 Indirect Costs Trail Improvements (20%)* $ 25,365 Total Costs for Trail Improvements $ 152,193 Storm Sewer Improvements $ 191,448 Sanitary Sewer Improvements $ 4,500 Water Improvements $ 860 Total Cost for Utility Improvements $ 196,808 Total Improvement Cost $ 1,417,224 Total Indirect Costs for City* $ 244,083 Total Cost $ 1,661,308 Rounded Total Cost $ 1,661,000 *Indirect costs include legal, engineering, administration, and finance City Council | Tuesday, May 16, 2023 | Page 56 of 75 Assessment Calculation Total Total Project Cost $ 1,661,000 Assessable Amount $ 1,312,307 Assessment Amount (50% of Assessable Amount) $ 656,154 Total Units - Residential* 29 Assessment - Residential $ 216,232.41 Total Units - City of Mendota Heights* 59 City Assigned Assessment Amount $ 439,921.11 Total Units 88 Unit Assessment (Assessable amount/ XX Units) $ 7,456.29 Total Assessment Amount $ 7,456 Victoria Curve abuts Trunk Highway 62 within this area and therefore only provide access to one side of the street. This reduces the assessable front footage or number of units. In these areas, a frontage or unit count was added and assigned to the City. This normalized the assessment rates. Residential assessments for the project are calculated to be $7,456 for the reclaimed streets Funding Source Project Total Municipal Levy $ 408,346 City Assessment (Municipal Levy) $ 439,921 Total Municipal Levy $ 848,267 Resident and Business Assessment (50%) $ 216,232 State Aid Funding $ 400,000 Utility Fund – Storm Sewer $ 191,448 Utility Fund – Sanitary Sewer Fund $ 4,500 Utility Fund – Water Fund $ 860 Total $ 1,661,308 The project is showing a Municipal Levy of $848,267. There is also $400,000 funding from the Municipal State Aid account. As the project is designed and competitively bid, the calculated assessment amount will be updated leading up to the adoption of the assessment roll. The improvements are necessary to allow for safe and reliable street and utility services within the City of Mendota Heights. The project will be competitively bid to allow for a cost-effective improvement. The feasibility study has provided an overall analysis of the feasible improvements for consideration within this project area. Therefore, the proposed improvements within the areas outlined in this report are necessary, cost effective, and feasible from an engineering standpoint. RECOMMENDATION Based on recent bid prices, staff has been conservative in this estimate. It is hopeful that pricing will be below the estimate although this bidding market is difficult to project. Staff recommends City Council | Tuesday, May 16, 2023 | Page 57 of 75 that the Council approve the plans and specifications for the Victoria Curve Street Improvements, and authorize the advertisement for bids. Staff also recommends approval of Ordinance 575 amending Title 6, Chapter 3, Section 3 of the City Code. ACTION REQUIRED If City Council wishes to implement the staff recommendations, pass a motion adopting A RESOLUTION APPROVING FINAL PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS, AND AUTHORIZING ADVERTISEMENT FOR BIDS FOR THE VICTORIA CURVE STREET IMPROVEMENTS and APPROVING ORDINANCE 575 AMENDING TITLE 6, CHAPTER 3, SECTION 3 OF THE CITY CODE. This action requires a simple majority vote.

BACKGROUND Paul Dzubnar, from the Copperfield Restaurant has been having issues with delivery of goods to his restaurant. Currently, there are semi’s that use the Linden Lofts parking lot which has created issues with blocking handicap stalls and vehicle exhaust has been reported by residents near the delivery area. Mr. Dzubnar is asking to establish a loading zone on Maple Street in the existing bump out parking area between Dodd Road and the Linden Lofts entrance. The requested loading restriction would be from 7:00 A.M. -2:00 P.M. Monday through Saturday. City Code 6-2-2-E states that the City Council may designate Special Parking Areas through resolution. Staff is presenting this request as an ordinance amendment which would create a new section for loading zones under Title 6, Chapter 3, Section 3 of the city code. The recommended language for this paragraph is: No person shall park or leave standing any motor vehicle other than expeditious loading and unloading during the following hours, on the following days: 7:00 A.M. to 2:00 P.M., MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY Street Side Location Maple Street North Dodd Road (TH 149) extending 165 feet east BUDGET IMPACT The loading zone would be identified with “No Parking” signs with a plate below which would highlight the hours of 7:00 A.M. to 2:00 P.M. Monday through Saturday. The cost of the new signs and possible curb painting would be invoiced to the Copperfield. City Council | Tuesday, May 16, 2023 | Page 65 of 75 9b. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Council discuss and comment on the proposed loading zone on Maple Street. ACTION REQUIRED If the City Council agrees to establish a loading zone on Maple Street, they should pass a motion adopting Ordinance 577, “AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 6, CHAPTER 3, SECTION 3 OF THE CITY CODE”. This action requires a super majority vote.

BACKGROUND In August, 2022, staff brought forward a 2023 budget request for $300,000 to construct a new skate park at Rogers Lake Park. The City Council included the Rogers Lake Skate Park Reconstruction project in the 2023 budget. In November, 2022 the City Council approved professional services agreements with Bolton and Menk, Inc. and the American Ramp Company for the engineering and design of the Rogers Lake Skate Park Reconstruction Project. Staff estimated the consulting fees in regards to this project to total $40,000. The cost of the equipment, shipping and installation based on American Ramp Company’s proposal is $217,876.72. The City’s engineering consultant estimated the new concrete pad to cost $147,810. The total project cost, not including the consulting fees was estimated at $365,686.72. Bids were solicited from seven local contractors and five bids were received for the site work and concrete base. Staff did also include a Bid Alternate 1 for the project which would have added an additional 2,000 square feet of concrete to construct a 100 foot x 100 foot pad instead of the original 100 foot x 80 foot pad. The bid results were as follows: Bidder Base Bid Bid Alternate Bid plus Bid Alternate Northwest Asphalt $227,153.35 $35,342.30 $262,495.65 McNamara Cont. $229,502.00 $33,239.25 $262,741.25 Pember Co. $240,462.75 $34,398.25 $274,861.00 Meyer Contracting $239,792.68 $37,835.35 $277,628.03 Sunram Const. $275,573.00 $42,766.25 $318,339.25 City Council | Tuesday, May 16, 2023 | Page 69 of 75 9c. BUDGET IMPACT The preliminary budget for 2023 included a total of $300,000 for this project ($225,000 from the General Fund balance and $75,000 from the Special Parks Fund). This budget would also include the consulting costs. The cost of the equipment, shipping and installation based on American Ramp Company’s proposal is $217,876.72. Including the low bid from Northwest Asphalt ($227,153.35) and the estimated consulting fees ($40,000) the total project cost would equate to $485,030.07. The Finance Director has confirmed there are sufficient funds in the General Fund balance if the Council desires to move forward with the project. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff and its consulting firm have discussed the bids with the contractors. Some potential savings could be realized with a redesign of the concrete base. Some recommended reductions in project scope would be to raise the elevation of the existing concrete base which would reduce the excavated material and haul off but would increase the imported topsoil quantities. The consultant is also reviewing replacing the steel rebar reinforcement with a fiber mesh reinforcement. Consideration is also being given to reduce the slab thickness from 6 inches to 5 inches. It is anticipated that these changes could reduce the project costs by approximately $50,000. It should be noted that the above changes will increase the risk of failure with premature cracking so the city should be aware of the added risk as it makes its determination. The staff recommendation would be to reject the five bids for the Rogers Lake Skate Park Site Work and Concrete Base. This project would then be rebid using the competitive bidding process as the estimate would be around the $175,000 threshold. Delaying the project may also increase the cost of the original American Ramp Company quote if delayed until 2024. Staff is available to discuss the project with Council at the meeting or additional options could be discussed at a future workshop. ACTION REQUESTED If the City Council concurs, it should, by motion, reject bids for the Rogers Lake Skate Park site work and concrete base.
