PUBLIC HEARINGS A. 2013 PMP Assessment Hearing Assistant City Engineer Anderson stated that in October of 2012, a neighborhood meeting was held regarding the proposed 2013 improvement project and assessments. Plans were reviewed with the Council in January and bids were requested in March. The street improvement projects planned for this summer have been reviewed in detail by staff. The total cost for the project is $937,523.26, which includes overhead. He noted the project is proposed to be assessed consistent with the City's Assessment Policy and past practices, which states that 50% of the costs for roadway improvements will be assessed in residential areas, with the remaining portion financed by City funds. He discussed the assessment rates based on the low bid noting each unit will be assessed $4,451.24. He reviewed how the five boundary parcels will be assessed by the City. Payment options for the proposed assessments were explained. Assistant City Engineer Anderson stated that the City sent out the required public hearing notifications and notified the homeowners association regarding tonight's assessment hearing. He stated that at this time, no formal objections have been submitted in writing to City staff. Staff recommended the Council hold an assessment hearing this evening for the 2013 PMP project and take comments from the public. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—MAY 13, 2013 4 Councilmember Holden questioned why 3121 Ridgewood Road is not being assessed. Assistant City Engineer Anderson stated that this property was fully assessed by the City of Roseville during a previous street improvement project. Mayor Grant opened the public hearing at 7:36 p.m. Angela Hames, 1839 Venus Avenue, explained that she is speaking on behalf of her father-in-law (Douglas Haines) who lives at 3121 Ridgewood Road. She presented the Council with a handout and then discussed the exclusion of her in-laws' property in detail with the Council. She also described the actions taken by the City of Roseville. Julianna Sorenson, 3137 Ridgewood Road, asked why the assessment payback period was reduced from 10 years to seven years. She thought the interest rate was too high. She requested further information about the trees that have been tagged in her neighborhood. Assistant City Engineer Anderson explained that the more costly option would have been assessed over 10 years, but the reclamation option, which will be completed for this project, will be assessed over seven years. He indicated that residents may work with the City on a repayment plan. He noted the trees marked in this neighborhood have been identified by a forester as having bad health and those within the boulevard should be removed. He stated that he is willing to review the trees in Ms. Sorenson's yard with her. Joan Ablieter, 1488 Glenhill Road, commented that she has three ash trees in her yard that should be looked at by the City. Lisa Klockziem, 3137 Ridgewood Road, questioned how the tagged trees will be removed and who will cover the expense. She asked how the interest rate for the assessment was determined by the City of Arden Hills. Assistant City Engineer Anderson stated that the City will cover the expense of removing the tagged trees within the boulevard. He noted that the City will work with them if property owners want to save a tree. Public Works Director Maurer explained that the proposed calculation of interest rate (2% above current rate of return) has been used for previous projects. Mayor Grant closed the public hearing at 7:48 p.m. and thanked the public for their comments. 8. UNFINISHED BUSINESS A. 2013 Pavement Management Program (PMP) Assistant City Engineer Anderson stated that on March 11, 2013, the Council adopted a Resolution approving the plans and specifications and ordering the advertisement for bids for the 2013 Pavement Management Program (PMP). Bids were solicited during March and opened on Tuesday, April 2, 2013. He explained that a portion of the costs for the 2013 PMP project are ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—MAY 13, 2013 5 proposed to be assessed against the benefitting properties according to the City's Assessment Policy. In order to assess these costs, the City must follow the process outlined in State Statute 429. Assistant City Engineer Anderson reminded everyone that the Council held an assessment hearing moments ago. Staff is now recommending that the Council adopt a Resolution adopting the assessment roll for the 2013 Pavement Management Program and award the contract for the project to North Valley, Inc. in the amount of$723,366.70. Councilmember Holden asked how many trees were flagged to be removed for this project. Assistant City Engineer Anderson stated the City has marked 12 trees for removal. Councilmember Holmes supported Staff's recommendations for the five boundary properties. Councilmember McClung agreed. MOTION: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember Holmes seconded a motion to adopt Resolution #2013-020 — Adopting Assessment Roll for the 2013 Pavement Management Program, excluding the property at 3121 Ridgewood Road. The motion carried (5-0). Mayor Grant questioned if the City has experience with North Valley, Inc. Public Works Director Maurer commented that North Valley completed the trail on Lexington recently. He stated that staff has had previous road reconstruction experience with this contractor and that they have done good work. MOTION: Councilmember Holmes moved and Councilmember Werner seconded a motion to adopt Resolution #2013-021 — Awarding the 2013 Pavement Management Program project to North Valley, Inc. in the amount of $723,366.70. The motion carried (5-0). B. 2013 PMP—Construction Engineering Services Public Works Director Maurer stated that as the 2013 PMP heads towards construction, there are some engineering services that are needed to complete the project. He explained that Assistant City Engineer Anderson will continue to lead the project but will need a resident inspector and survey crew. He recommended Elfering and Associates provide these services for the project. It is estimated that the services required by Elfering and Associates will cost approximately $64,000. Staff recommended that the Council accept the proposal from Elfering and Associates on an hourly basis for construction services for the 2013 PMP working under the direction of Assistant City Engineer Anderson. Councilmember Holden requested the motion state the engineering services not exceed $64,000. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—MAY 13, 2013 6 MOTION: Mayor Grant moved and Councilmember Holmes seconded a motion to authorize accepting the proposal, on an hourly basis from Elfering and Associates, not to exceed $64,000, for construction services (Resident Inspector and Survey Crew) for the 2013 PMP working under the direction of John Anderson, Assistant City Engineer. The motion carried (5-0). 9. NEW BUSINESS A. Planning Case Sign Standard Adjustments—Ramsey County Community Development Intern Bachler stated that the applicant has requested a site plan review for a sign standard adjustment that will allow for a deviation from the Sign Code for temporary freestanding signage on the Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant (TCAAP) site owned by Ramsey County. He commented that Ramsey County is proposing to install four temporary freestanding signs, each measuring 32 square feet in total sign area, on the TCAAP site owned by Ramsey County. Community Development Intern Bachler explained that the real estate closing for the transfer of the TCAAP site from the U.S. Army to Ramsey County was completed on April 15, 2013. Ramsey County has contracted Carl Bolander and Sons Co. to carry out demolition work and site remediation in order to prepare the site for future development. These activities are scheduled to commence in May 2013, and take approximately 30 months. The proposed sign includes graphics and text that help explain to the public the nature of the work being done on the site and how to obtain more information about the project. Community Development Intern Bachler indicated the sign area for each sign will measure 8 feet by 4 feet, an area of 32 square feet. The signs will be located in four separate locations around the site. Ramsey County has provided the City with a map showing the precise location of each sign: 1. Highway 96 between Highway 10 and Snelling Avenue N. 2. Gate 4 on Highway 10 3. Eastern terminus of County Road H 4. Northwestern corner of the Rice Creek Trail Corridor Community Development Intern Bachler stated Section 1260.01 of the Sign Code permits adjustments to sign height, number, type, lighting, area, and/or location through the site plan review process if criteria number 1 or 2 is met and that the required criteria number 3 is met. In this case, criteria 1 and 3 are most applicable. The criteria are as follows: 1. There are site conditions which require a sign adjustment to allow the sign to be reasonably visible from a street immediately adjacent to the site; or, 2. The sign adjustment will allow a sign of exceptional design or a style that will enhance the area or that is more consistent with the architecture and design of the site; and ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—MAY 13, 2013 7 3. The sign adjustment will not result in a sign that is inconsistent with the purpose of the zoning district in which the property is located or the current land use. Community Development Intern Bachler noted that the Sign Ordinance permits a property to display a temporary sign for 30 days per calendar year. However, the demolition and site remediation work on the TCAAP property is expected to take 30 months. Allowing Ramsey County to display the temporary signage until work on the site is completed will ensure that a source of information about the project will be available to the general public for its duration. Community Development Intern Bachler indicated that the Planning Commission offers the following thirteen Findings of Fact for review: 1. The property is located in the Mixed Business and Single Family Residential Zoning Districts. 2. The property is located in Sign District 6 and Sign District 9. 3. In Sign District 6, one temporary freestanding sign is permitted up to 22.5 square feet. The sign may be in place for up to 30 days per calendar year. 4. In Sign District 9, no temporary freestanding signs are permitted. 5. Ramsey County is proposing four temporary signs. 6. The proposed signs would measure 8 feet by 4 feet with a sign area of 32 square feet. 7. The proposed signs would be displayed for the duration of the demolition and remediation project on the TCAAP site. 8. Section 1260 of the Sign Code permits deviation from the Sign Code through the Site Plan Review process. 9. Site conditions limit the visibility of signs from adjacent roadways. 10. Restrictions on temporary signage in Sign District 9 would limit Ramsey County's ability to share information about the TCAAP project with the public. 11. Sign Code regulations on the permitted length of temporary signage would limit Ramsey County's ability to share information about the TCAAP project with the public. 12. The sign adjustment will not result in a sign that is inconsistent with the purpose of the Mixed Business and Single Family Residential Zoning Districts. 13. The sign would not have a negative impact on adjacent properties or the City as a whole because providing information about the TCAAP project is a public benefit. Community Development Intern Bachler explained that the Planning Commission reviewed Planning Case 13-006 at their May 8, 2013, meeting. The commissioners had specific questions regarding the proposed sign location along the Rice Creek Trail Corridor. Ramsey County would like to install a sign along the trail in order to inform trail users that active construction work is taking place in the area and that caution should be used. He noted the Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the Sign Standard Adjustment at the Twin Cities Ammunition Plant site based on the findings of fact and the submitted plans, as amended by the following two conditions: 1. Ramsey County shall remove the four temporary freestanding signs upon the completion of demolition work and site remediation on the property. 2. Ramsey County shall maintain the four signs in like new condition and repair and/or replace a sign if it is damaged or deteriorates during the approved timeline. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—MAY 13, 2013 8 Councilmember Holden asked if the signs were meant to be read by passing traffic. She expressed concern with the safety of passing traffic trying to read these signs along major roadways. Community Development Intern Bachler believed the sign located on Highway 96 and Highway 10 is intended to be viewed by passing vehicular traffic. He explained the sign located on the Rice Creek Trail is intended to be seen by those on bicycles. Mayor Grant understands Councilmember Holden's concerns. He is in favor of the signs being posted as they indicate that the remediation work is being completed on the site by Ramsey County. Councilmember Holden agreed it is in the best interest of Arden Hills for this information to be posted. She recommended the sign size be increased by Ramsey County. Councilmember Holmes questioned if the sign at the trail will have the same wording. Community Development Intern Bachler stated it is his understanding that each sign will have the same wording. MOTION: Councilmember Holden moved and Mayor Grant seconded a motion to approve Planning Case 13-006 for a Sign Standard Adjustment at the Twin Cities Ammunition Plant site, based on the findings of fact and the submitted plans with the signs not to exceed 50 square feet, as amended by the two conditions in the May 13,2013, report to the City Council. Councilmember Holmes does not agree with increasing the sign size as this is not the size requested by Ramsey County. Mayor Grant thought the Council had the right to adjust the size within the approval process. It is his opinion that the four signs at increased size is reasonable and offers additional flexibility. Councilmember McClung agreed with the increased sign size adjustment as it will benefit passing traffic. Councilmember Holmes questioned if the request will have to be reviewed again by the Planning Commission because of the proposed sign size adjustment. Mayor Grant commented that the Planning Commission is a recommending body and the Council has the right to make adjustments. City Administrator Klaers stated the Council does have the right to make adjustments. The motion carried (5-0). ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—MAY 13, 2013 9 B. Planning Case Sign Standard Adjustments—1195 County Road E Community Development Intern Bachler explained that the applicant has requested a site plan review for a Sign Standard Adjustment that would allow for a deviation from the Sign Code for the permit length and sign area of temporary wall signage at 1195 County Road E. He indicated that the property at 1195 County Road E is owned by TAT properties, represented in this case by StuartCo. The property is located in the B-2 General Business District on the north side of County Road E directly west of Lexington Avenue. The applicant is proposing to install two vinyl banners each measuring 216 square feet on the exterior walls of the property. Community Development Intern Bachler stated that on December 21, 2012, the City Council approved a Planned Unit Development (PUD) to remodel the existing structure at 1195 County Road E and construct 74 residential unit apartments on the site. The applicants have concerns about visibility of their advertising signs. The proposed reuse converts the building from a former hotel into residential apartment units, which is a substantial change in land use and may not be known by the average person driving by the building. Further, given the size of the building and the large building setback from Lexington Avenue, advertising signs are not easy to see. The building is setback approximately 360 feet from Lexington Avenue and 70 feet from County Road E. The proposed signs include images and text that better identify the new use of the property as a residential apartment building and provide directions on how to obtain information about the project. The applicant has provided images of the two signs. Community Development Intern Bachler indicated that one sign will be located on the east building wall facing Lexington Avenue and the second sign will be located on the south building wall facing County Road E. Each sign will measure 12 feet by 18 feet, an area of 216 square feet. The combined area of the two signs will be 432 square feet. A professional sign company will install the signs. StuartCo will maintain the signs in like new condition and repair and/or replace a sign if it is torn or deteriorates during the approved timeline. Community Development Intern Bachler commented that the applicant has asked to display the banners from the date the sign permit is issued to 30 days after the residential property receives the Certificate of Occupancy. Under the Sign Ordinance, the property is allowed to display a permitted temporary sign for no more than 30 days per calendar year. A sign advertising available space for lease in a building can be displayed until seven days after the building is leased. Community Development Intern Bachler stated Section 1260.01 of the Sign Code permits adjustments to sign height, number, type, lighting, area, and/or location through the site plan review process if criteria number 1 or 2 is met and the required criteria number 3 is met. In this case, criteria one and three are most applicable. The criteria are as follows: 1. There are site conditions which require a sign adjustment to allow the sign to be reasonably visible from a street immediately adjacent to the site; or, 2. The sign adjustment will allow a sign of exceptional design or a style that will enhance the area or that is more consistent with the architecture and design of the site; and ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—MAY 13, 2013 10 3. The sign adjustment will not result in a sign that is inconsistent with the purpose of the zoning district in which the property is located or the current land use. Community Development Intern Bachler stated the Planning Commission offers the following twelve findings of fact for review: 1. The property is located in the B-2 Zoning District and Sign District 5. 2. The property is a conforming use in the B-2 Zoning District under the approved Planned Unit Development. 3. In Sign District 5, one temporary sign is permitted up to 40 square feet. The sign may be in place for up to 30 days per calendar year. 4. In Sign District 5, one temporary sign up to 25 square feet advertising available space in a building is permitted. The sign may be in place until seven days after the building is leased. 5. The proposed signs would be vinyl banners that would each measure 12 feet by 18 feet, or 216 square feet in size. 6. The proposed signs would be displayed from the date the sign permit is issued to 30 days after the residential property receives the Certificate of Occupancy. 7. Section 1260 of the Sign Code permits deviation from the Sign Code through the Site Plan Review process. 8. The location of the building limits the visibility of temporary signage as permitted in the Sign Code from County Road E and Lexington Avenue. 9. Sign Code regulations on the permitted length of temporary signage would limit the owner's ability to effectively advertise the availability of apartment units in the building. 10. The sign adjustment will not result in a sign that is inconsistent with the purpose of the B- 2 zoning district. 11. The signs would not be visible from residential properties. 12. The sign would not have a negative impact on adjacent properties or the City as a whole because they are consistent with the size and layout of the property on which they would be located. Community Development Intern Bachler indicated that the Planning Commission reviewed this case at their May 8, 2013, meeting. The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the Sign Standard Adjustment at 1195 County Road E based on the findings of fact and the submitted plans, as amended by the following four conditions: 1. The applicant shall remove all freestanding signs related to the apartment use located on the property upon the completed installation of the two temporary signs. 2. The two temporary wall signs shall be displayed from the date the sign permit is issued to 30 days after the property receives the Certificate of Occupancy. 3. The two temporary signs shall each measure 12 feet by 18 feet and be 216 square feet in size. 4. The applicant shall maintain the two signs in like new condition and repair and/or replace a banner if it is torn or deteriorates during the approved timeline. Mayor Grant asked if the development will have any four-bedroom units. He is pleased that the 74 units are being advertised as student housing. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—MAY 13, 2013 11 Lisa Moe, StuartCo, indicated there will not be four-bedroom units within eStreet Flats. Councilmember Holden recalled that the property will be advertised through technological means and is surprised that the signs are now being requested. She stated she could support one banner sign, but does not feel two are necessary. Councilmember McClung agreed stating he could only support one sign given the size requested. Councilmember Holmes stated she does not object to the two signs at their proposed size. It is her opinion that the two signs are not abusing the sign ordinance and the signs complement the building nicely. Mayor Grant indicated that the Council wants this development to be successful. He stated he has concerns with the proposed signs but understands that they will be in place on a temporary basis. Councilmember Werner supports the two temporary signs. Councilmember Holden explained that she too wants the project to be successful, but only supports one sign based on the proposed size. She is frustrated that the signs are being requested after the Council was told the development would be advertised by other means. Councilmember McClung does not support the sign along Lexington Avenue. He agrees with the sign placement along County Road E. He indicated he could support two signs at this location so long as they do not exceed 216 square feet in size total. MOTION: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember Holmes seconded a motion to approve Planning Case 13-005 for a Sign Standard Adjustment at 1195 County Road E, based on the findings of fact and the submitted plans, as amended by the four conditions in the May 13, 2013 report to the City Council. Councilmember McClung requested an amendment reducing the approved signage to up to two signs not to exceed 216 square feet total. Councilmember Holden and Councilmember Holmes accepted this friendly amendment. Mayor Grant stated that he does not support the adjustment as he wants to be assured the signs are readable from both Lexington Avenue and County Road E. It is his opinion the signs have to be readable in order to be an effective marketing tool. AMENDMENT: Councilmember McClung moved and Councilmember Holden seconded a motion to amend the request reducing the approved signage to up to two signs not to exceed 216 feet total. The amendment failed (2-3) (Holmes, Werner, and Mayor Grant opposed). ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—MAY 13, 2013 12 The motion carried (3-2) (McClung and Holden opposed). 10. COUNCIL COMMENTS Councilmember McClung reminded staff and Council that he will be out of the country May 14th through June 1St Councilmember Werner welcomed Steve Heikkila to the EDC. Councilmember Holden requested staff provide the Council with Steve Heikkila's application as it provides the Council with valuable background information. Councilmember Holden thanked the Public Works department for their dedication and service to the City of Arden Hills and its residents. Councilmember Holmes expressed her appreciation to the Public Works department as well. She questioned when work on Lake Valentine Park will be completed. Public Works Director Maurer anticipates the contractor's work to be completed by mid-June, at which time the playground equipment will be installed and landscaping work will be completed by the Public Works staff. He stated that the park should be fully complete by the end of June. Mayor Grant discussed the State of the City date and time noting the EDC recommended the event be held from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. He indicated the Council is in no way trying to keep the public away from this meeting, but are simply following the recommendation of the EDC. The EDC is hoping to encourage local business owners to attend. Councilmember Holden stated that only 12 residents attended the last resident-focused State of the City meeting. Mayor Grant explained that the City is not in charge of the Bolander contract. He commented that the County is managing the remediation efforts. He indicated that the public engagement process for the master planning process is being defined by Kimley-Horn. Mayor Grant thanked the Public Works Department for their dedicated service to the City. ADJOURN MOTION: Mayor Grant moved and Councilmember Holmes seconded a motion to adiourn to a work session. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). Mayor Grant adjourned the regular City Council meeting at 8:55 m.
