MEMORANDUM
DATE: January 19, 2016
TO: Honorable Mayor, City Councilmembers and Planning Commission
Sue Iverson, Acting City Administrator
FROM: Ryan Streff, City Planner
SUBJECT: 2016 Planning Commission Work Plan and Project Priorities Discussion
Requested Action
Review the draft 2016 Planning Commission Work Plan and provide input and feedback to the
Planning Commission. Discuss upcoming tasks, items of concern, and questions related to
planning activities within the City.
Background
The City Council has asked the Planning Commission to join them for a joint Work Session to

Planning Commission reviewed the draft Work Plan at a Work Session following their regular
meeting on December 9, 2015. The minutes from the Work Session have been included as
Attachment B.

AGENDA ITEM – 1A
City of Arden Hills
Joint City Council & Planning Commission Work Session Meeting for January 19, 2016
P:\Planning\Planning Commission\Work Plan\2016
Page 2 of 4
2016 Work Plan
The Planning Commission differs from the City’s other committees and commissions in that the
purpose and scope of the Commission’s work is largely determined by State Statute. The
majority of the Planning Commission Work Plan is dedicated to continuing the work of
evaluating and providing recommendations on land use applications, zoning code amendments,
and other planning related items that come before the City.
TCAAP Development
Two tasks are included under the planning goals for the TCAAP development project: the
drafting of the TCAAP Master Parks and Open Space Plan and completing amendments to the
City Code to reflect the adoption of the TCAAP Redevelopment Code (TRC). The purpose of the
Parks and Open Space Plan is to provide information on the location, size, design, and character
of the planned parks, open space, and trails on TCAAP as identified in the City’s Comprehensive
Plan. Staff will be working with the Planning Commission and the PTRC on the development of
the TCAAP Master Parks and Open Space Plan.
The City Council adopted the TRC as Section 1380 of the Zoning Code and rezoned the 427-acre
TCAAP property based on the TRC Regulating Plan in July 2015. Staff will be reviewing the
City Code and making necessary revisions to remove references to the previous zoning of
TCAAP as Mixed Residential and Mixed Business and to ensure that the TRC and new zoning
districts are correctly referenced throughout the City Code. The Planning Commission will be
asked to review these proposed updates to the City Code.
2040 Comprehensive Plan Update
Cities, townships, and counties in the seven-county metropolitan area are required by the
Metropolitan Land Planning Act to update their Comprehensive Plans every 10 years. These
updates are required to ensure consistency with the regional system plan that is prepared by the
Metropolitan Council.
The current 2030 Comprehensive Plan for Arden Hills was adopted on September 28, 2009.
Since its adoption in 2009, only one major amendment was subsequently adopted by the City
Council. The amendment in 2015, included updates for the future development of the 427-acre
TCAAP site in order to align the Comprehensive Plan to the TCAAP Master Plan.
The City of Arden Hills will commence a full update of its Comprehensive Plan over the next
two years to ensure that a new 2040 Comprehensive Plan can be adopted in 2018. During this
process the City will determine a public engagement strategy and gather public input, identify
the components of the plan that need to be updated, evaluate changes to the Future Land Use
Map, and draft the new plan.

B-4 Retail Center District
As property within the City continues to redevelop in the area along Lexington Avenue, staff
would like to ensure that the existing zoning and district requirements for B-4 Retail Center
District meet the City’s vision for this area. The stated purpose of this district amongst other
things is to meet the retail shopping needs of the community and create a functional and unified
retail center, while phasing out existing uses and development that are currently more focused
towards a mix of office, warehousing and production uses. In order to precede with this task the
City would review the history of the district along with the stated purpose and allowed uses,
evaluate existing buildings and their uses, and obtain market input regarding future trends.
B-2/B-3 Districts
The Planning Commission will be asked to complete a review of the existing Design Standards
for the B-2 and B-3 Districts and make recommendations on how the standards could be
modified to meet the City’s vision for these areas. The first step in this process will be to look at
recent development projects, such as Lexington Station and Goodwill, and evaluate how these
sites were developed in relation to the existing Design Standards. Staff will present findings to
the Planning Commission and City Council and determine which regulations in the Design
Standards may be resulting in undesired outcomes.
Staff will research zoning and design standards adopted by similar cities for their commercial
and mixed-use districts. Recommendations will then be made on how the B-2 and B-3 District
Design Standards could be updated to address identified areas of concern.
TCAAP – Organized Collection
During the City Council Work Session on December 21, 2015, the Council directed staff to place
organized garbage collection for TCAAP on the 2016 Planning Commission Work Plan. In
many cases organized collection with a single hauler can reduce road wear, fuel consumption
and emissions, and can provide lower service rates. Staff will review the organized collection
procedures, recommend changes to the City Code, and work with the City Council to schedule
appropriate public hearings.
Requested Action
Review the draft 2016 Planning Commission Work Plan and provide input and feedback to the
Planning Commission. Discuss upcoming tasks, items of concern and questions related to
planning activities within the City.

Planning Commission and City Council Training Opportunities
The League of MN Cities offers an e-learning land use series as part of their loss control
program. All of the Planning Commissioners and Councilmembers were signed up to
participate. To date there are still some that have not completed the course. The League, which
provides liability insurance to Arden Hills, has found that cities that have Commissioners and
Councilmembers who are educated about land use law and make sound rulings are less likely to
be sued, or to lose lawsuits when they are filed. The website-based training is designed to make
land use decisions less confusing, and will help cities avoid expensive land use claims and
lawsuits. If you have not taken the online course please do so at your earliest convenience.
Government Training Services (GTS) also offers land use planning courses. Additional
information regarding dates and locations for that series will be emailed out to the City Council
and Planning Commission as they are made available by GTS. These courses are designed for
Councilmembers and Planning Commissioners, and are typically offered in full and half day
sessions throughout the Twin Cities. The courses are very well done and provide a wealth of
information regarding land use fundamentals. Planning Commissioners are required to
participate in at least one of the GTS courses during their term in order to be appointed to a
subsequent term.
Joint City Council/Planning Commission Work Session
The joint Work Session to discuss the draft 2016 Work Plan with the City Council will be held at
5:00 on Tuesday, January 19, 2016, at City Hall.

highlight below:
TCAAP Redevelopment Code and Comprehensive Plan Amendment
The City Council approved the TCAAP Redevelopment Code, the rezoning of the TCAAP
property, and an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan incorporating the TCAAP Master Plan
on July 13, 2015. Together these approvals lay the groundwork for the redevelopment of the
427-acre TCAAP property owned by Ramsey County over the next 15 to 20 years into a vibrant,
mixed-use community. The Metropolitan Council approved the TCAAP Comprehensive Plan
Amendment on October 28, 2015. The TCAAP Joint Development Authority will become fully

activated upon approval of the Master Plan by the Ramsey County Board of Commissioners.
Planning efforts on TCAAP Master Plan began in the spring of 2013, and included regular and
detailed input from the Planning Commission.
Valentine Bluff
The City Council approved the Valentine Bluff project on March 30, 2015. This project required
approvals for a Preliminary and Final Plat, Rezoning, and Comprehensive Plan Amendment for
the redevelopment of the former Ramsey County Library and Baptist Conference office building
sites on County Road E2 into seven single-family residential lots. The developer of the project,
Hanson Builders, expects homes within the development to range from 4,500 square feet to
7,000 square feet in size. To date, one home has been completed and two others are now under
construction.
Red Fox Business Center
The Red Fox Business Center development at 1235 Red Fox Road was approved by the City
Council on February 23, 2015. Roberts Management applied for a Master and Final Planned Unit
Development and Conditional Use Permit to develop two light industrial buildings on the
property totaling 93,300 square feet. Both buildings are nearly complete and only the floors and
windows still need to be installed. Roberts Management is marketing the tenant bays for a range
of different uses including manufacturing, office, commercial showroom, and warehousing.
Businesses are expected to move into the buildings in early 2016.
Tavern Grill
The City Council approved a Final Planned Unit Development on August 31, 2015 for a sit-
down restaurant called the Tavern Grill within the Arden Plaza retail center. The developer of the
project, Hemisphere Restaurant Partners, expects to begin construction on the site in spring 2016.
The restaurant will have a footprint of 9,500 square feet with an attached 3,000 square foot
outdoor patio for seasonal seating.
Zoning or City Code Amendments
The City has approved the following eight amendments to the Zoning Code or City Code over
the last year:
1. Amendment to the Zoning Code to clarify that telecommunication antenna may be
considered a secondary use and are not required to support the principal use on a
property.
2. Amendment to the Zoning Code to revise the building façade transparency requirements
in the B-2 and B-3 District Design Standards.
3. Amendment to the Zoning Code to adopt the TCAAP Redevelopment Code as the new
Section 1380 of the Zoning Code.

Review proposal from Goodwill for modifications to the County Road E exterior elevation and
provide staff with direction.
Discussion
Goodwill is completing final work on the interior of their store at 1201 County Road E and is
expecting to hold a grand opening at the end of this month. Staff was recently contacted by
Goodwill with a request to modify the approved exterior elevation plan for the County Road E
façade (Attachment A). The proposal would replace two spandrel glass windows to the
immediate right of the County Road E entrance doorway with two transparent glass windows.
The windows that would be replaced are outlined in the plan provided in Attachment A.
The B-2 District Design Standards require commercial buildings with frontage on a public street
to have a minimum façade transparency of 50 percent. The approved development plans granted
Goodwill flexibility on this requirement, allowing for transparent window coverage of 26.4
percent on the County Road E façade. The addition of the two transparent windows would bring
the development into closer conformity with the B-2 District Design Standards.
The Development Contract and PUD Agreement for the project requires that any significant
changes to the approved plans be reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission and City
Council. The City Attorney has advised that because the modification is minor and brings the
building in closer conformance with the City’s standards the proposal could be approved

SUBJECT: Outdoor Display and Sales Zoning Regulations
Background
The City is currently reviewing the use of outdoor display and sales areas in commercial districts
and considering whether the Zoning Code should be updated to further regulate these activities.
At the City Council Work Session on October 19, 2015, staff presented initial recommendations
for regulatory standards that could be added to the Zoning Code. The City Council directed staff
to complete further work on display area dimension standards, the types of products that could be
displayed, and screening from residential properties.
Discussion
Dimension Standards
At the City Council Work Session on October 19, 2015, staff presented the following
recommendation for permitted outdoor display areas: two percent of the floor area of the
principal building or 300 square feet, whichever area is greater. The City Council directed staff
to establish an overall cap of 1,000 square feet for display areas. The dimension standard has
since been revised to read as follows:
1.The total display and sales area shall be determined based on the following formula:
a.For properties with a principal building of 15,000 square feet or less in size, the
permitted display and sales area shall be a maximum of 300 square feet.

b. For properties with a principal building greater than 15,000 square feet in size, the
permitted display and sales area shall be two percent of the base area of the
principal building, but not to exceed 1,000 square feet.
The table below provides what three local businesses would be allowed for a display and sales
area if this standard were adopted:
Business

Cub Foods 68,566 sf 1,371 1,000
Goodwill 17,743 sf 355 355
Holiday Gas Station 5,563 sf - 300
Restrictions on Merchandise
The City Council discussed limiting the types of products that could be displayed to items that
require an outdoor location or that are more easily kept outdoors because of larger volume or
weight. Staff would recommend the following language be used for this standard:
The type of merchandise displayed shall be limited to items which require an outdoor
location, such as plants or fuel, and any items which because of large volume or weight
are housed outdoors, such as vending machines, salt, or landscaping materials.
Screening
The City Council discussed requiring screening for display and sales areas located within a
certain distance of residential properties. Of the metro cities that staff reviewed, only Maple
Grove has a screening requirement. In Maple Grove, screening is required along all lot lines and
display areas must be a minimum of 200 feet from any residential property unless separated by
an arterial street. Staff would recommend the following language be used for the City’s
screening requirements:
Outdoor display and sales areas shall be screened when located within 200 feet of a
residentially zoned property.
Recommendations and Next Steps
Staff has drafted amendments to the Zoning Code that would incorporate the new standards
discussed in this memo and at the October 19, 2015 Work Session. A red-lined version of the
amendments to Section 1305 (Definitions) and Section 1325 (General Regulations) of the Zoning
Code is included in Attachment C. The City Attorney has reviewed the draft language and does

not have any concerns at this time. Staff is requesting that the City Council review Attachment C
and provide additional feedback.
The next step in this process would be to have staff draft a final version of an Ordinance
amending the Zoning Code to include the regulations on outdoor display and sales. The Planning
Commission would be required to hold a public hearing on the Ordinance prior to formal action
by the City Council.

SUBJECT: Outdoor Display and Sales Zoning Regulations
Background
The City is currently reviewing outdoor display and sales in its commercial districts and whether
the Zoning Code should be updated to further regulate these activities. At the City Council Work
Session on September 21, 2015, staff presented research on different ways that several cities in
the metro area regulate outdoor display and sales. Based on the review of best practices used in
other communities, staff provided initial recommendations for updates to the Zoning Code. The
City Council directed staff to complete further work on the recommended dimension standards
for display areas and to report back at a future Work Session meeting.
Discussion
The initial recommendation in the staff report for the September 21, 2015 Work Session was for
a maximum outdoor display area of 200 square feet. Staff has since revised its recommendation
for the permitted display area to the following: two (2) percent of the gross floor area of the
principal building or 300 square feet, whichever is greater. This modification would increase the
minimum area allowed for all properties from 200 to 300 square feet and would allow larger
retailers, such as grocery or home improvement stores, to have slightly larger display areas more
proportional to the size of their store footprints. The table below provides what three local
businesses would be allowed for display areas if this standard were adopted:
Business
Total Gross Floor
Area (s.f.)
2% Gross Floor
Area (s.f.)
Permitted Display
Area (s.f.)

Staff has also created aerial maps in GIS to provide a visual of the display area footprints for the
Cub Foods store and the Holiday service station (Attachment D).
Recommendations and Next Steps
The recommendations discussed at the Work Session on September 21, 2015 have been updated
based on the direction provided by the City Council. Staff is requesting that the City Council
review the list below and provide any additional feedback:
• Add a definition to the Zoning Code for Outdoor Display and Sales land use
classification.
• Restrict use to the B-2, B-3, B-4, Neighborhood Business, and Gateway Business Zoning
Districts.
• Permit outdoor display and sales as an accessory use to Retail Sales and Services and
Service Station uses only. Require an Administrative Permit and Site Plan for each
business proposing to have an outdoor display and sales area.
• Limit types of products displayed or sold to merchandise incidental to the primary use on
the property.
• Require display areas to be adjacent to the principal building and on the side of building
with main entrance. Prohibit display areas from being located on service station islands.
• Prohibit display areas from obstructing pedestrian access and utilizing required on-site
parking.
• Limit display areas to a footprint of no more than two (2) percent of the gross floor area
of the principal building or 300 square feet, whichever is greater.
• Establish a maximum height of 6 feet for display areas, or as determined by the
Community Development Department.
• Require that merchandise be stacked and arranged neatly at all times and be located on a
hard surface.
The next step in this process would be to have staff draft an ordinance amending the Zoning
Code to include the new regulations on outdoor display and sales. The Planning Commission
would be required to hold a public hearing on the ordinance prior to formal action by the City
Council on this item.

CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION
OCTOBER 19, 2015
5:00 P.M. - ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS
1. AGENDA ITEMS
B. Outdoor Display and Sales Zoning Regulations
Associate Planner Bachler stated that at the City Council’s work session in September, City staff
presented research regarding the way other cities regulate outdoor display and sales.
Associate Planner Bachler referenced updated revisions to the recommendations for display
dimensions which would allow no more than two (2) percent of the gross floor area of the
principal building or 300 square feet, whichever is greater. For properties with a principal building
greater than 15,000 square feet in size, the permitted display area would be based on two (2)
percent of the building footprint (such as grocery stores or home improvement stores).
Associate Planner Bachler noted there are other provisions which would have the effect of
limiting the size of the overall display area, including that pedestrian access cannot be obstructed
and that the display must be located adjacent to the principal building.
Associate Planner Bachler provided examples of three local businesses and what their permitted
display areas would be, and stated the recommendations from September’s work session have
been updated to include the revised display area and prohibit display areas on service station
islands. He stated the next step would be for City staff to draft an ordinance to bring to the
Planning Commission for a public hearing.
Councilmember Holden asked for clarification of “gross floor area” as it would pertain to a two-
story building. She asked if this is the gross floor area of just one level of the building or the
combination of the two levels.
Associate Planner Bachler stated that gross floor area refers to the total square footage of the
building, so for a two story building it would include the second floor.
Councilmember Holden stated this would mean a building with more levels can potentially have
a larger display area than a building of the exact same size with only level.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – OCTOBER 19, 2015 2
Associate Planner Bachler stated this was not necessarily the intent of staff. He noted that the
outdoor display and sales area would be limited to retail and service station uses that typically do
not have additional stories. He said that City staff will go back and amend this language.
Councilmember McClung suggested using the gross floor area of the existing retail area only of
a business as generally businesses would not have a retail area located on the second floor.
Mayor Grant asked for clarification of a display area. He asked if it included the area for people
to walk through the display or is it the actual dimensions of the display itself.
Associate Planner Bachler stated that the display area just refers to the dimensions of the display
itself. He added that the current recommendation made by City staff is that all businesses that
desire an outdoor display must submit a site plan detailing the display area and obtain an
administrative permit.
Mayor Grant asked how City staff arrived at 300 square feet as the maximum display area.
Associate Planner Bachler stated in review of other cities, only two have set limitations on the
size of the display area for all businesses regardless of size. He said a number of cities allow
display areas based on the square footage of the building, some up to 10% of the total square
footage.
Associate Planner Bachler indicated that the recommendation to increase the minimum display
area from 200 square feet to 300 square feet was in part due to a review of the Holiday Station
Store and the Shell Station. An aerial review of the Holiday property showed that a 200 square
feet display area would not cover what they currently have on display. Increasing the minimum
area to 300 square feet allowed more space to accommodate this building’s current display needs.
Councilmember Holden asked about a temporary display in the Cub Foods parking lot, such as a
fireworks tent.
Associate Planner Bachler stated this type of seasonal, temporary display is allowed under Cub
Foods’ original PUD that was approved for their site.
Mayor Grant suggested capping the allowable display area between 1,000 and 1,200 square feet.
Discussion ensued regarding the Frattallone’s Ace Hardware business and their outdoor display
area.
Discussion continued regarding various scenarios, the minimum square footage and a potential
cap of the allowed display area. Also discussed was limiting the type of display items as the
recommendation by staff would allow any items that are incidental to the primary use of the
property.
Councilmember Holmes referenced the City of Maple Grove’s restrictions on the types of
display, which limit items to those which require an outdoor sales location (plants, fuel) and items
that because of large volume/weight are more easily housed outdoors (salt, fertilizer).
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – OCTOBER 19, 2015 3
Associate Planner Bachler stated some businesses leave their displays outside at all times and
others bring the items inside the building each night. He said the intent is to cover both types of
businesses.
City Planner Streff pointed out that some businesses do have common items displayed outside
that are available for purchase inside as well.
Councilmember McClung stated that the City should not be crafting this change based on the
existing businesses; the change should be crafted to include businesses that could potentially
come into the city in the future.
Councilmember Holden noted it appears the businesses that leave their displays outside
overnight are those which are generally open 24 hours a day and those businesses that are not
open overnight bring their items indoors. She asked if there should be a distinction between the
two types of displays (overnight versus brought indoors).
Councilmember Holden asked if there could be a limit on the number of times a business would
receive a permit for outdoor display.
Associate Planner Bachler stated that the recommendation is that once a permit for outdoor
display is issued, it is permanent as long the business continues to conform to the approved site
plan.
A discussion ensued regarding Maple Grove’s dimensional/location standards language of 200
feet from a residential property line unless separated by an arterial street and screened from all lot
lines, and how this language could apply in Arden Hills.
Associate Planner Bachler stated that language will be added regarding the additional
requirement that display areas be screened if they are less than 200 feet from a residential property
line as well as limiting the type of items as described in the City of Maple Grove’s requirements.
He said he will check directly with the City of Maple Grove.

SUBJECT: Sanitary Sewer Realignment - 3280 Sandeen Road
Requested Action
Provide feedback to applicant as to a course of action on this request.
Background/Discussion
The property owner, Steven Nelson, at 3280 Sandeen Road is interested in realigning the rear
yard sanitary sewer on his property to provide more buildable area as shown in Attachment A.
This issue has been discussed in the past by the City Council, and minutes of previous Council
meetings are attached (see Attachments B thru E). Mr. Nelson is interested in constructing the
relocation of this sewer this spring.
The proposal has been reviewed by Planning and a recommended course of action has been laid
out by Senior Planner Matthew Bachler in his memo dated January 11, 2016 (Attachment F).
The rear yard sewer is a public sanitary sewer that was originally constructed with clay pipe.
This sewer has since been lined. The proposed sewer would be constructed with PVC pipe.
Public Works will need to clean this sewer periodically and to accomplish that that will need
access from the street to a new manhole in the back yard with an easement machine. Public
Works will need this access protected by an easement and kept clear of all obstacles such as
fences, retaining walls, gardens, plantings, etc.

DATE: January 11, 2016
TO: John Anderson, Interim Public Works Director/City Engineer
Jill Hutmacher, Community Development Director
FROM: Matthew Bachler, Senior Planner
SUBJECT: 3280 Sandeen Road Sanitary Sewer Easement Vacation
I have reviewed the information provided on the request to reorient the existing sanitary sewer
line and vacate a portion of the sewer easement on the property at 3280 Sandeen Road. Provided
below is a summary of the planning case history for the property and the process for vacating the
easement.
Planning Case History
The property owner previously submitted a request to reorient the sanitary sewer line and vacate
a portion of the easement in 1993 (PC #93-09) and again in 1996 (PC #96-02). The City Council
discussed the first request at several meetings in 1993, but no formal action was taken. The
minutes from the City Council meeting on April 8, 1996 indicate that PC #96-02 was approved
(4-0). However, there are no records in the City’s files of a resolution approving the vacation or
of a revised easement corresponding with the realignment being recorded with Ramsey County. I
would recommend that we contact the City Attorney about whether the previous approval of the
vacation in PC #96-02 still has any validity, or if it’s now void.
Approval Process
Assuming that the property owner will need to resubmit the vacation request, I believe we would
follow the process below:
1. Property owner submits Land Use Application for Vacation of Easement (application fee:
$150, escrow: $1,000). Application should include following materials:
- Certificate of Survey
- Proposed realignment of sanitary sewer line
- Written narrative explaining need for realignment
2. Bring item to a City Council work session to discuss the proposal.
3. Schedule required public hearing for easement vacation during regular City Council
meeting.
4. Publish notice in Arden Hills/Shoreview Bulletin two weeks prior to public hearing.
MEMORANDUM
5. Mail notice to property owners within 500 feet of 3280 Sandeen Road a minimum of 10
days prior to public hearing. A copy of the proposed resolution approving the vacation is
required to be included in this mailing.
6. City Council holds public hearing during regular meeting.
7. City Council approves resolution for easement vacation and sewer line relocation.
8. City Attorney drafts revised sanitary sewer easement based on realignment. Document is
signed by property owner and recorded concurrently with easement vacation with
Ramsey County.
9. Property owner constructs new sewer alignment to City’s specifications with City
inspection of work.
10. New sewer line inspected before removal of existing sewer line.
Since 3280 Sandeen Road is on Lake Johanna, the Department of Natural Resources may need to
be notified about the relocation of the sanitary sewer line. This may be another question to
follow-up with the City Attorney on.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
Susan Iverson, Acting City Administrator
FROM: John Anderson, Acting Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Snow Plowing, Snow Removal and Ice Control Policy
Requested Action
Provide feedback to Public Works on the level of service provided relative to snowplowing and
ice control on City streets, trails, walks, and parking lots.
Background/Discussion
The City Council approved the current Snow Plowing, Snow Removal and Ice Control Policy in
2006. Since nearly ten (10) years have elapsed since last adopted, it is appropriate to check in
with the City Council to determine if the policy and implementation are providing the level of
service that the Council is looking to provide to residents.
Public Works plows 30 miles of public streets, 12.6 miles of trails, 4 parking lots, 3 hockey and 3
pleasure rinks, as well as driveways at 11 lift stations and 2 water towers. The plow routes
include three street routes, and one trail and walk route. Each street route is plowed by one large
truck, and a small truck plows cul-de-sacs and narrow streets. Trails and walks are usually
plowed by either pickup trucks or toolcats.
The current policy is sometimes thought of as having a trigger of requiring two inches to have
fallen before we consider plowing the streets. The reference to two inches of snowfall is one
factor used in the decision process as to when to begin snow plowing, but it is not the test as to
whether or not to plow. We weigh a number of factors when it comes to making decisions
regarding snow plowing which include the following: accumulation, weather forecast, timing to
morning and evening commutes, and what others communities are doing. We communicate with
other agencies and municipalities leading up to and during a snow event to stay informed about
how our neighbors are responding to a snow event.
AGENDA ITEM – 1E
MEMORANDUM
Page 2 of 2
Some of the changes that have taken place in our procedures since the policy was adopted are as
follows:
1. Shift in the use of sand/salt mixture to 100% salt with brine activation
2. Reduction in volume of ice control materials in exchange for more plowing
3. Addition of salt brine pretreatment prior to a snow event
Additionally, some of the challenges that have complicated our workload when it comes to snow
and ice control are:
1. More obstacles adjacent to walks (County Road E and County Road 96)
2. 36% increase in total walk/trail mileage in the last 10 years
Other issues covered in our snow plowing policy is damage to yards and mailboxes during
plowing. Public Works repairs plow sod damage with topsoil and seed in the spring. We do not
repair salt damage or damaged sprinkler heads in the right of way. Damaged mailboxes will be
repaired if there is a physical hit between the plow and the mailbox. If the force of the snow
caused the mailbox to drop, it is the homeowners’ responsibility to repair it.
Recommendation
Public Works is comfortable that the current policy gives adequate direction to our staff to
maintain the same level of service we have been providing. If there are no concerns about the
operations from the City Council, it is recommended that no changes be made to the policy as
written.

AGENDA ITEM – 1F
MEMORANDUM
DATE: January 19, 2016
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Sue Iverson, Interim City Administrator
Director of Finance and Administrative Services
SUBJECT: 2016 Employee Compensation Plan – Non Union Employees
Background
Annually the City sets the compensation for non-union employees for the next calendar year at its
meeting in December. This item was originally brought to the regular City Council meeting on December
14, 2015, but was tabled to tonight’s work session for discussion.
Discussion
Annually the City Council evaluates its compensation plan and determines if a cost of living adjustment
(COLA) is appropriate. The 2016 budget was prepared with a 3.0% increase for non-union employees.
The seasonal and part-time recreation employee compensation plan has been reviewed by staff and
adjustments have been based on the attached memo from John Anderson and Sara Grant.
Attached are the compensation plans for January 1, 2016, for non-union employees for Council approval.
Recommendation
Direct staff to bring this agenda item to the regular City Council meeting on January 25, 2016, to approve
the 2016 Employee Compensation Plan for non-union employees retroactive to January 1, 2016, as
presented and the Seasonal Employee 2016 Part-time scale as presented.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: December 2, 2015
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
Sue Iverson, Acting City Administrator
FROM: John Anderson, Acting Public Works Director / City Engineer
Sara Grant, Parks and Recreation Coordinator
SUBJECT: Review of Pay Levels for Temporary/Seasonal Positions
Background
Each year, the City hires a number of temporary/seasonal employees for positions in recreation
programs and parks maintenance. The 2015 and the proposed 2016 temporary/seasonal pay
ranges are attached. The 2015 pay ranges were approved by the Council at the December 8,
2014 Council meeting.
The pay levels for these positions are based on compiled results of a survey that was done on pay
scales for surrounding cities. The City of Arden Hills is competing with these cities to attract
quality and experienced candidates. The results of the survey of adjacent cities indicated that the
cities are maintaining their seasonal pay levels at or above the 2015 pay levels the City of Arden
Hills currently has.
The pay scale is broken down into different categories for different positions. We are
recommending a pay increase may be given from step one to step two for first time employees at
the Public Works Superintendant’s discretion.
Action Requested
Adopt the proposed 2016 part time / seasonal pay scale.

AGENDA ITEM – 1G
MEMORANDUM
DATE: January 19, 2016
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Sue Iverson, Interim City Administrator
Director of Finance and Administrative Services
SUBJECT: Proposed Highway 10 Median Discussion
Background
During an update on projects to the City Council from MnDOT, Mark Lindeberg mentioned that as part
of a MnDOT safety project, the center median on Trunk Highway 10 in front of Welsch’s Big Ten Tavern
and Scherer Bros. Lumber Co. will be closed permanently.
Discussion
Staff has been asked to draft a letter regarding this project. Staff is asking for Council discussion on the
content of the letter, our concerns, and who it should be sent to. A draft letter containing the content of
the letter has been attached for a starting point on that discussion.
Recommendation
Provide input to staff on the content of the letter, who it should be sent to, and direct the letter to come
from the Mayor on behalf of the City Council.

RE: US Hwy 10 Road Proposed Road Construction - Median
Dear __________:
It is our understanding MnDOT is considering permanently closing the center median on
Trunk Highway 10 as part of a MnDOT safety project. While the road is not under our
jurisdiction, the project will be within our City borders and is a significant transportation
corridor for our residents and businesses as well as the County and the region.
This center median currently serves as the northbound entrance to two of our businesses,
Welsch’s Big Ten Tavern and Scherer Bros. Lumber Co. While the southbound
entrances will remain open, northbound travelers will now have to bypass these
businesses and make a u-turn up at The Mermaid in Mounds View or travel west on Co.
Road 96 over Interstate 35W and then north to Mounds View to connect to a road which
then goes southbound. Please see the attached map for illustrations.
One of our main concerns is that Welsch’s Big Ten Tavern will be adversely affected as
it will cut off a substantial amount of its business and access. It will also affect access
from the anticipated development in Rice Creek Commons. This business has been in
Arden Hills for the past 57 years. This could eventually mean the business will close or
move out of the City of Arden Hills.
The City of Arden Hills would like to work with the State to discuss and review options
for the future of this median. Please feel free to contact me, or Interim City
Administrator Sue Iverson in regards to this matter.
Sincerely,
David Grant
Mayor
