MEMORANDUM
DATE: December 21, 2020
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
Dave Perrault, City Administrator
FROM: Mike Mrosla, Community Development Manager/City Planner
Joe Hartmann, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: Lexington Station 3rd Addition Concept Plan Review
Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source:
NA NA NA
Concept Plan Proposal
The Concept Plan Review process is an opportunity for the City Council to provide comments and
questions regarding proposed developments. A concept review is considered advisory and is
nonbinding to the City and Applicant (Section 1320.14, Subd. 4 of the Zoning Code). A formal
application will be subject to the full review process, including a public hearing with Planning
Commission and City Council review.
Kensington Development Partners (“Applicant”) has submitted an application for Concept Plan
Review of the proposed third phase of Lexington Station. Lexington Station is located at 3787
Lexington Avenue (“Subject Property”). The property is zoned B-3 Service Business District and
is guided as Commercial use on the 2040 Land Use Plan.
Background
In 2013, the City approved a Master Planned Unit Development (PUD) for Roberts Management’s
proposed Lexington Station redevelopment project, located at the southwest corner of Lexington
Avenue North and Red Fox Road. The total project area is 7.57 acres and is comprised of three
parcels. The proposed development would be completed in three (3) phases. Phase I of the
redevelopment was completed in 2013-2014 and included the demolition of the former Blue Fox
Restaurant and the construction of a 15,340 square foot multi-tenant commercial building with a
drive through. Phase II consisted of removing the existing building at 1120 Red Fox Road and
constructing a new 16,922 square foot multi-tenant commercial building with a drive through.
Phase II was completed in in the fall of 2018.
The approved plan for Phase III or the Subject Site consists of a 15,210 square foot multi-tenant
commercial building with a drive through and a standalone 17,841 square foot box retail building
City of Arden Hills
P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2020\Concepts\Lexington Station 3
Page 2 of 8
on 4.24 acres as shown below and in Attachment C. During construction of Phase III, a new access
on Lexington Avenue would be constructed. The proposed access would align with the existing
Target service and the existing access on Lexington Avenue would be removed. The proposed
new access/intersection would include a traffic signal. The proposed traffic signal is included in
Ramsey County Lexington Avenue reconstruction project that is anticipated to start in 2022.
Concept Plan Proposal
The Subject Site is currently owned by Roberts Management and contains an existing building that
was constructed in 1980 and is approximately 63,000 square feet. The Applicant is proposing to
amend the Master PUD to accommodate a standalone 43,000 square foot grocery store. The
proposed grocery store would be new to the Minnesota market. However, at this time the
Applicant is unable to disclose the name of the proposed user due to non-disclosure agreement
(NDA).
Amended Planned Unit Development
This proposal would require an amended PUD as the approved site plan would change from two
(2) to one (1) building. In addition, the proposed building would increase the overall approved
square footage from 65,313 to 75,262 and would also impact the overall parking on the site.

Discussion
Design Standards – Meets Standards of Zoning Code and PUD
At least seventy-five (75) percent of the exterior building materials should be made of brick
masonry, tile masonry, natural stone or its synthetic equivalent, decorative concrete plank,
transparent glass or any combination thereof. Trim and other accent or decorative features may be
metal, wood, split faced block, EIFS, or stucco. Undesirable materials include simulated brick,
vinyl or aluminum siding, sheet or corrugated metal siding, plain concrete blocks or panels,
brightly colored metal roofing or canopies, pre-cast tilt-up walls, and mirrored or reflective glass.
The Applicant is proposing to construct the building to match and complement the design of the
existing buildings of Phase I and II. The use of similar materials and design features will seek to
harmonize the development and maintain the City’s focus on high quality and timeless materials.
The transparency requirements for businesses within the B-3 District have been considered in the
development and the proposal plan will use opaque windows in the anticipated service areas. The
non-primary facades will utilize rock face concrete masonry unit (CMU), utilizing colors
consistent with the brick building material on the non-primary façade of the retail building in Phase
II and the previously approved material in the PUD.
The building would be 19 percent brick masonry, 10 percent glass, and 2 percent stone, for a total
of 30 percent. Rock face CMU comprises 54 percent, Phenolic Panels are proposed for 12 percent
and metal storefront is proposed for the remaining 4 percent of the total façade area. Examples of
Phenolic Panels can be found on newly remodeled Target Stored as shown on the image below
and in Attachment D. The Phenolic Panels are a flat panel reinforced with wood fibers with a
decorative surface that is resistant to weather and sun.

Tree Replacement - Meets Standards of Zoning Code
The Applicant has submitted a landscaping plan that shows proposed tree plantings and mitigation.
The proposed plan meets the intent ordinance. The Applicant is proposing 134 caliper inches of
new trees and 15 caliper inches of replacement trees.
Snow Storage - Meets Standards of Zoning Code
Adequate area should be designed for snow storage such that clear visibility shall be afforded from
the property to any public street. The Applicant is proposing to store snow in the southwest corner
of the proposed site.
Parking Setbacks – Flexibility Requested
The City Code requires off-street parking spaces to be located a minimum of 20 feet from the right-
of-way of any public street. Flexibility was granted for the parking spaces on the northern side of
Phase I and II which are approximately 9 feet from the Red Fox Road right-of-way (ROW). The
Applicant is requesting a similar reduction in parking setback from the ROW be granted due to
wide County ROW on Lexington Avenue. The Applicant is proposing a 7.51 feet setback from the
ROW. The approved Phase I drive through on the east side of the building adjacent to Lexington
Avenue has approximately a three (3) foot setback from the ROW.

P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2020\Concepts\Lexington Station 3

Parking - Flexibility requested
Per City Code 1325.06, there are general categories that determine the number of parking spaces
that would need to be provided. Retail Sales uses must provide one (1) parking space for each 150
sq. ft. of gross floor area. The proposed plan would consist of a one-story 43,000 square foot
grocery store and would require 287 parking spaces. The Applicant is proposing 207 parking
spaces and 437 total for the development. The table on the next page breaks down the parking
from the different phases and the approved PUD requirements.

It’s worth noting that at this time staff has not seen an interior floor plan and cannot determine the
required parking as the proposed project could host a variety of uses (retail, office, and storage).
Each use is subject to minimum parking requirements in the Zoning Code and could offset the
parking deficiencies.
Freestanding Signage - Meets Standards PUD
Properties in Sign District 5 are allowed one freestanding sign measuring up to 100 square feet in
area and not exceeding 16 feet in height. The Applicant would like to utilize the previously PUD
approved monument sign standards. The approved monument signs measure 26 feet in height and
have a total sign copy area of 171.9 square feet.
City of Arden Hills
P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2020\Concepts\Lexington Station 3
Page 6 of 8
Wall Signage – Flexibility requested
Properties in Sign District 5 are allowed wall signs up to 80 square feet. The Applicant is
requesting flexibly for a 90 and 180 square feet sign above the main entrances to the building (east
elevation facing Lexington Ave) and a 90 square feet sign on the north elevation (facing previous
Lexington Station phases and Red Fox Road).
Proposed New Lexington Avenue Access and Traffic Study
A traffic study is currently underway by SRF, the applicant’s traffic consultant. SRF completed
the previous work for the Lexington Station Master PUD submittal. The study will review existing
operations within the area, evaluated traffic impacts to the roadway network, and recommended
improvements to the proposed development site. SRF and the Applicant are aware that the County
intends to reconstruct Lexington Avenue between County Road E and I-694 in 2022. The
Applicant has stated they intend to complete construction of Phase 3 in 2022, so the timing of the
Lexington Avenue improvement could coincide with the final phase of the development.
A new access driveway in alignment with the Target service road is proposed to be constructed
during the project. The existing driveway on Lexington Avenue that serves Phase I and Phase II is
a temporary access point that is scheduled to close. The proposed new access driveway at the
southern end of the site is approved as the sole permanent access off of Lexington Avenue. The
proposed new access/intersection would include a traffic signal. The proposed traffic signal is
included in the Ramsey County Lexington Avenue reconstruction project that is anticipated to start
in 2022. However, the proposed tenant is requiring a signal be constructed as part of their project
in the event the County delays the Lexington Avenue reconstruction project beyond 2022. The
Applicant, City and County have discussed this issue and incorporated provisions in the Lexington
Avenue Cooperative Agreement to allow the City to move forward with the signal installation as
an independent project.
The construction of a signal at this intersection would remove the existing full access into Big O
Tires and Arby’s site as a new median would be constructed to the south of the new signal,
City of Arden Hills
P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2020\Concepts\Lexington Station 3
Page 7 of 8
restricting left turn movements. The proposed access in the Big O Tires and Arby’s site would
become a south bound right in and right out. The City is generally not in a position to remove
access from the Big O Tires and Arby’s site to benefit the proposed development, and because of
that, staff requested the Applicant to consider adding an access from Lexington Station third
addition into the Big O/Arby’s site. However, the proposed access into the Big O Tires and Arby’s
site becomes moot if the County moves forward with the Lexington Avenue project as they have
the authority to revoke the full access into the Big O Tires and Arby’s site.
City staff has noted concerns with the design of the proposed site access drive in relation to the
overall site layout. The layout provides limited vehicle staking distance at the eastbound approach
to the signal. During peak traffic periods, exiting vehicles could potentially stack along the east
side of the proposed building while waiting for a green signal phase. The site traffic study currently
underway will evaluate the current access design and potential site design modifications. The final
site layout may change due to recommendations made by the traffic study.
Approvals required
The proposed land use application would require the following approvals:
• Site Plan Review
• An Amended Planned Unit Development (PUD) is required due to modified site plan.
In addition, a PUD would be use for performance standard flexibility (at a minimum,
wall sign, parking lot setbacks and parking stall requirements).
The table below provides the performance standards for the B-3 District and the preliminary
analysis for the proposed development:

PROJECT SUMMARY700 COMMERCE DRIVE, SUITE 130, OAK BROOK, IL 60523 630.402.6065WWW.KENSINGTONDEV.COM11NORR and Larson Engineering are working on behalf of Kensington Development Partners to manage the development of Phase III of Lexington Station.In 2013, the City approved a Master PUD for the Lexington Station redevelopment project at the southwest corner of Lexington Avenue North and Red FoxRoad. The total project area is 7.57 acres in size and is comprised of three separate parcels (3833 and 3771 Lexington Avenue and 1120 Red Fox Road).Phase I of the development was completed in 2013-14 and Phase II was completed in 2017-2018. Phase III, as described in this narrative, will complete thedevelopment and secure Lexington Station as a retail destination in Arden Hills.Modifications to the Master PUDPhase III shall consist of the demolition of the existing multi-tenant building and redevelopment of Lot 3, Block 1, of the Roberts Addition to Arden Hills.Kensington Development Partners is seeking modifications to the Master PUD to accommodate a new proposed design of this approximately 4.24-acre site.The existing approved PUD for Phase III depicts (2) separate one-story buildings, one 17,841 SF Retail Anchor and one 15,210 SF Retail/Office building. Theproposed plan would consist of a one-story grocery anchor with a total of 207 parking spaces. The proposed changes to the parking fields in Phase I and IIwould increase the total parking of the development to 421 spaces while maintaining access and circulation aisles. During construction of Phase III,theplanned new access driveway on Lexington Avenue in alignment with the Target service road will be completed and the existing Lexington Ave driveway wouldbe closed.Building DesignKensington Development Partners proposes the construction of a building to match the cohesive design of the existing buildings of Phase I and IIdevelopments. The use of similar materials and design features will seek to harmonize the development and maintain the City’s focus on high quality andtimeless materials. The transparency requirements have been considered in the development and met with the use of opaque windows in the anticipatedservice areas. The non-primary facades will utilize the previously approved rock face CMU, with color consistent with the brick building material, on the non-primary façade of the retail building in Phase II.

AGENDA ITEM – 1B
MEMORANDUM
DATE: December 21, 2020
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
Dave Perrault, City Administrator
FROM: Mike Mrosla, Community Development Manager/City Planner
SUBJECT: B-2 District Setback and Design Standards
Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source:
N/A N/A N/A
For Council Consideration
Council may consider providing further direction on revising the B-2 District design standards.
Background
At the work session meeting on September 17, 2018 the City Council discussed building facade
and parking setbacks standards for the B2 district. Staff proposed revising the front yard setback
requirement from 20 feet to 50 feet. Staff also recommended removing the requirement that at least
50 percent of the largest building on each site be constructed at the front setback line of 20 feet.
Council and staff agreed on removing the City code language below (Attachment A) and revising
the front yard building setback to 50 feet (Attachment B).
The following language is proposed to removed:
• 1325.05 Design Standards, Subd. 8, (F) (B):
o Twenty percent (20%) of all other first level building facades that are reasonably
visible from the public right of way shall be comprised of window or door openings.
Simulated or opaque windows may be used on service areas.
• 1325.05, Subd. 8, M. Parking (1) (2):
o Placing parking between the street right-of-way and a building shall be
discouraged.
o No more than 50 percent of the parking on a site may be between buildings or in
the side yards.
However, the Council did have additional concerns about building façade requirements. At its
August 12, 2019 and June 8, 2020 work sessions, the City Council and staff continued discussing
the façade transparency requirements on mechanical and storage areas in the B-2 and B-3 Districts.
Page 2 of 2
During the discussions, Council asked staff to review spandrel glass and determine if it could be
illuminated to appear as an active storefront when viewed from an adjacent public street. Upon
review it was determined that spandrel glass should not be illuminated. Unlike typical window
glass, which is meant to be transparent, spandrel glass is designed to be opaque in order to help
hide features between the floors of a building, including vents, wires, slab ends and mechanical
equipment. If the intent is to have the space to look occupied by illumination, spandrel glass
should not be used.
Following a discussion, Council and staff concurred that the existing ordinance shall not be
amended and that the existing language in subsection A and shown below provides the city the
authority to wave the transparency requirements when privacy concerns are warranted otherwise
all windows shall consist of transparent glass.
“Fifty percent (50%) of all first level building façades that front a public street
shall be comprised of transparent windows or doors in order to allow views of
interior uses and activities. Transparency requirement may be waived by the City
where privacy concerns warrant.”
Next Steps
Based on the direction provided by the City Council, staff will bring this item to the January or
February Planning Commission for review.

follows:
1. Consistency with provisions of the comprehensive plan and other guiding plans as
amended from time to time; provisions of the zoning ordinance and subdivision ordinance;
and all other applicable regulations.
2. Use of appropriate materials, lighting, textures, colors, and architectural and
landscape forms to create a unified, high-quality design concept for each site that is
compatible with adjacent and neighboring structures and functions.
3. Creation of unified site designs, each with a sense of internal order, that provide
desirable environments for site users and visitors and the community as a whole and that
consider all site elements.
4. Provision of safe and adequate access from public streets to sites giving ample
consideration to the location and number of access points, the safety and convenience of
merging and turning movements, and traffic management and mitigation.
5. Provision of on-site vehicular, bicycling, and pedestrian circulation by way o f
interior drives, parking areas, pathways, and walkways adequate to handle anticipated
needs and to safety buffer pedestrians and cyclists from motor vehicles. Ample
consideration shall be given to the width of interior drives, internal traffic movement and
flow, separation of pedestrian, cycling, automobile; and delivery traffic, and the safe,
convenient, and practical arrangement of parking spaces.
B. Application. The standards in this Section should apply only to the building or site
elements being developed or altered (i.e. a proposal for changes to a building would be
required to meet only those standards that pertain to buildings while changes to a parking
area would be required to meet the standards for parking areas but not for buildings). The
design standards shall be applied proportionately to the degree of change proposed. Upon
recommendation from the Planning Commission, the City Council may waive specific
design standards based on the scale of the project. The City Council shall make the final
determination on the compatibility and consistency with the design standards.
C. Architectural Style and Building Character. Evaluation of a project shall be based on
the quality of its design and on its relationship to its surroundings. Site characteristics to
be evaluated for this purpose include, but are not limited to, building and landscaping
materials, colors, textures, shapes, massing, building components, height, roof-line, and
setback. Monotony of design, both within projects and between projects and its
surrounding, is prohibited. Variation in detail, form, and arrangement shall provide visual
interest. (revised 11/25/13)
D. Buildings shall be constructed of materials that are enduring, timeless, and well -
detailed. Other new materials of equal or better quality to those listed may be approved by
the Community Development Department. (revised 11/25/13)
1. At least seventy-five percent (75%) of the exterior building materials shall be of
brick masonry, tile masonry, natural stone (or synthetic equivalent), decorative concrete
plank, transparent glass or any combination thereof. (revised 11/25/13)
2. Trim and other accent or decorative features may be metal, wood, split faced block,
EIFS, or stucco. Metals shall have a matte finish and have visible corner moldings and trim
when used on exterior walls. EIFS shall be located at least twelve (12) feet above the
ground line. (revised 11/25/13)
3. Undesirable materials shall include simulated brick, vinyl or aluminum siding,
sheet or corrugated metal siding, plain concrete blocks or panels, brightly colored metal
roofing or canopies, pre-cast tilt-up walls, mirrored or reflective glass, and materials that
represent corporate colors or logos not in conformance with approved building materials.
(revised 11/25/13)
E. Building Design. The arrangement, massing, materials and colors shall work to
create a high quality development that is responsive to existing buildings, site features, and
site design on adjoining sites in the district. (revised 11/25/13)
1. At least fifty percent (50%) of the largest building on each site shall be constructed
at the front setback line.
2. Façade treatment shall be carried around all sides. Architectural elements such as,
but not limited to, windows, shutters, awnings, doors, masonry exterior veneers, cornice
detailing, window casings, and other architectural details should demonstrate consistency
on all sides of the structure that are reasonably visible to the general public. Plain flat walls
shall not be permitted when viewable from the public right -of-way or public areas.
3. To avoid long unbroken expanses and to increase visual interest from the street,
buildings of more than 40 feet in width shall be divided into smaller increments (between
20 and 40 feet) through articulation of the facades to convey the impression of
individually-constructed small storefronts or, in the case of housing, housing units. This
can be achieved through the combination of the following techniques:
a) The use of windows and doors;
b) Façade modulation-stepping backward or forward or extending a portion of the
façade;
c) Vertical divisions into storefronts with separate display windows and entrances;
d) Recesses and projections such as porches, dormers and bays that create shadows
and add visual interest;
e) Variation in the rooflines by using multiple roof and ridge lines perp endicular to
one another, offsetting single roof lines, stepped roofs;
f) Providing a lighting fixture, trellis, tree, or other landscape feature with each
interval.
4. Awnings or overhangs shall be provided at the primary entryway and at all
entrances fronting a public street to provide protection for pedestrians. Awnings shall be
opaque so as not to create a glowing effect with lights under the awnings. Awnings shall be
constructed of durable and protective material, and shall be properly maintained. Plastic
or fiberglass awnings shall not be permitted. (revised 11/25/13)
5. Any multi-level building shall distinguish the ground floor level from the upper
floors by use of any or a combination of these techniques: an intermediate cornice line,
difference in building materials or details, awnings trellis or arcade, special window details,
or brick corbels or quoins. A strong base and top for multi-story buildings shall be
established; middle layers shall be simpler. Detail shall be an integral part of the
architecture rather than a series of applied elements.
6. Standardized corporate or franchise architecture identified with a particular chain
shall be discouraged unless it is compatible with surrounding architecture and conforms to
these design standards. (revised 11/25/13)
7. Entrances shall have convenient access to the street frontage and to parking
serving the use. For those properties along County Road E, access to the street frontage
shall be given priority where feasible.

1. Commercial Façade Transparency.
a) Fifty percent (50%) of all first level building façades that front a public street
shall be comprised of transparent windows or doors in order to allow views of interior
uses and activities. Transparency requirement may be waived by the City where privacy
concerns warrant. (revised 11/30/15)
b) Twenty percent (20%) of all other first level building facades that are reasonably
visible from the public right of way shall be comprised of window or door
openings. Simulated or opaque windows may be used on service areas. (revised
11/30/15)
c) If the building is a one story design and the first floor elevation exceeds twelve
(12) feet, then only the first twelve (12) feet shall be included in calculating the façade area.
(revised 11/30/15)
d) The City may consider a proportional reduction in the transparent window and
door requirement on the public street façade if additional transparent glass is used on the
remaining sides. (revised 11/30/15)
2. Residential Façade Transparency. Twenty percent (20%) of all residential building
façades that front a public street shall be comprised of transparent windows or doors in
order to allow views of interior uses and activities. Transparency requirement may be
waived by the City where privacy concerns warrant. (revised 11/30/15)
3. Configurations. The shape, size, and placement of windows and doors shall
emphasize the intended organization and articulation of the façade. Windows and doors
shall be recessed at least one inch rather than being flush with the building façade. (revised
11/25/13)
4. Materials. Acceptable materials for window trim include anodized aluminum,
steel, wood, and clad wood. Door trim shall be made of steel, wood, or clad wood. (revised
11/25/13)
5. For buildings with a use or function that does not readily allow w indows (e.g.
cooler or freezer areas, mechanical rooms, security areas, storage areas) the transparent
window standards may be reduced at the discretion of the City Council. However, aesthetic
interest must be provided by the use of upper level windows or architectural detailing that
provides arches, patterning, recesses, and shadowing. Architectural detailing may include
such things as change in materials, change in color and other significant visual relief
provided in a manner or at intervals in keeping with the size, mass, and scale of the wall.
(revised 11/25/13)
G. Building Color. Building colors shall be muted. Recommended colors include
browns, grays, tans, beiges, and dark or muted green, blues, and reds. Bright or brilliant
colors and sharply contrasting colors may be used for only accent purposes occupying a
maximum of five percent (5%) of building façades. (revised 11/25/13)

1. Business signs shall be architecturally compatible with the style, materials, colors
and details of the building. Signs shall be incorporated into the façades of the buildings
rather than extending past the roof line and should not project more than twelve (12)
inches beyond the plane of the façades. Retail business wall signs shall be located in a
position above the front window that is located consistently among stores. (revised
11/25/13)
2. All other provisions in Chapter 12, Sign Code, shall apply.
J. Site Furnishings and Seating Areas.
1. Site furnishings shall be provided based on the scale of the project. The site

MEMORANDUM
DATE: December 21, 2020
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
Dave Perrault, City Administrator
FROM: Mike Mrosla, Community Development Manager/City Planner
SUBJECT: Arden Hills Foundation Benches and GreenStep City Participation Signs
Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source:
NA NA Arden Hills Foundation
City of Arden Hills
Council shall consider
The Council shall consider the proposed locations of new park benches funded by the Arden Hills
Foundation. In addition, the Council shall consider providing staff direction on acquiring
additional GreenStep Cities participation signage.
Background
At a recent meeting the City Council discussed asking the Arden Hills Foundation for financial
contribution to assist in acquiring additional parks benches and GreenStep Cities participation
signage. Previously the Arden Hills Foundation provided funding to the City to acquire
neighborhood watch signs.
Park Benches Discussion
Staff has identified four (4) potential locations for new benches (Attachment A) if there is a desire
to install additional benches along City trails and within park property. Staff is seeking Council
direction on the proposed locations. Park benches cost approximately $700 each.
GreenStep Cities Participation Signage Discussion
During the same meeting the Council asked if the Foundation could potentially contribute in
acquiring additional GreenStep Cities participation signage. Minnesota GreenStep Cities is a
voluntary challenge, assistance and recognition program to help cities achieve their sustainability
and quality-of-life goals. The City of Arden Hills is currently recognized as a Step Two (2)
Page 2 of 2
GreenStep City. Once named a GreenStep City, the municipality has the opportunity to purchase
a participation sign(s) to be added at any state highway, County or City road entrance to the city.
Signs are not permitted to be located on freeways. Any signs located in MNDOT and County right
of way (ROW) require approval from the specific agencies prior to placement. The signs are two
(2) feet by two (2) feet and cost $52.00 per sign. Signs can be ordered through the GreenStep
Cities. Generally GreenStep City participation signs are attached to the green city identifications
signs. When the City of Arden Hills was named a GreenStep City the City purchased one (1) sign.
The sign was attached to the existing city identification sign located within the median on
Minnesota State Highway 51 (Attachment B) and shown below.
Upon review of existing City of Arden Hills identifications signs the City currently has one (1)
existing identification sign that can accommodate a GreenStep City sign. The sign is located on
Cleveland Avenue adjacent to New Brighton (Attachment C). The City can acquire additional
signs and place standalone GreenStep Cities signs. However, it is worth noting that according to
the MNDOT Traffic Engineering Manual, the population figures must be on city identification
signs and use the population figure of the last official Federal or State census. If a community
requests the population figure to be updated, MNDOT will update the population figure at the cost
of the community. The 2020 Census count is now complete, and the Census Bureau is currently
processing the data. It is anticipated that within the next year the City will have the opportunity to
work with MNDOT and update the identification signs. At that time there may be an opportunity
to purchase and located additional identification signs at the direction of the City Council. At
Council direction staff can identify potential location for signs and bring it back for discussion at
a future work session discussion. Council and staff can determine how many GreenStep Cities
signs to purchase.
Budget Impact
Pending direction from the Council staff can coordinate funding contribution from the Arden
Hills Foundation for the park benches and GreenStep Cities signs.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: December 21, 2020
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
Dave Perrault, City Administrator
FROM: Mike Mrosla, Community Development Manager/City Planner
SUBJECT: Twin Cities North Chamber COVID19 Business Assistance Programs
Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source:
NA NA NA
Council shall consider
The Council shall consider recommendations from Twin Cities North Chamber on how cities can
assist business that have been impacted by COVID19.
Background
At its November 23, 2020 Economic Development Authority meeting the Commissioners
recommended staff review Twin Cities North Chamber suggestions on how cities can assist
businesses impacted by COVID19. According to the Chamber, cities are offering the following
assistance to businesses:
1. Liquor license refunds, rebates or deferral of fees until sometime in 2021.
2. Deferment or forgiveness of 2021 business related licenses and fees. The Chamber
recommends this especially for hospitality uses that have been directly impacted by the
Executive Orders.
3. Temporary signage flexibility.
4. Expanded hours of operation.
5. Zoning flexibility to allow certain uses to operate outdoors adjacent to their location.
Discussion
The City of Arden Hills has previously approved a similar assistance program as recommended by
Twin Cities North Chamber. At its May 26, 2020 meeting the City Council approved a prorated
refund of on-sale liquor license fees to businesses affected by Executive Orders. Nine (9)
businesses received a refund of their 2020 on-sale liquor license fees. Upon review of other cities
the majority have not made a determination on 2021 on-sale liquor licenses fees. However,
municipalities are discussing potentially deferring on-sale liquor licenses fees and other
Page 2 of 2
miscellaneous fees until spring 2021. The tables below shows information on 2020 License
Renewals for businesses, signs and massage establishments and 2020 Liquor Licenses.

In regard to other recommendations, City staff has been monitoring temporary signage within the
community and has been flexible with businesses as long as the signage meets the intent of the
sign code and doesn’t impact the general safety and welfare of the general public. Staff has not
been approached by local businesses requesting to expanded hours of operation. In addition, the
City Council approved resolution 2020-024 permitting zoning flexibility for local businesses to
utilize outdoor space adjacent to their typical location for expanded dining areas and retails sales.
Staff approved four (4) applications for zoning flexibility.
Budget Impact
Based on the direction provided by the City Council, staff is not anticipating any budget impacts.

SUBJECT: Feasibility Report for Snelling Avenue and County Road E Improvements
Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source:
$2,807,000 $2,816,529 PIR, Utility Funds, State Aid
(2021-2025 CIP) (Area 1 and 2) Ramsey County, Assessments
Council Should Consider
City Council direction is requested regarding recommendations contained within the draft Feasibility
Study report for Snelling Avenue North and County Road E.
Background/Discussion
City staff has completed the draft feasibility study report for the Snelling Avenue North and County
Road E improvement project as provided in Attachment B. The report outlines the potential
improvements to Snelling Avenue North from County Road E to State Trunk Highway 51. The
feasibility study was previously ordered by City Council Resolution 2019-026.
The feasibility report describes proposed street and utility improvements organized into two separate
areas. Area 1 involves improvements to the 4,300-ft long segment of Snelling Avenue North located
south of County Road E as well as street improvements to Cummings Lane and the intersection at
Bussard Court. Area 2 involves improvements to the intersection of Snelling Avenue North at
County Road E.
A significant portion of the report is focused on an analysis of two design alternatives for Snelling
Avenue extending to the south of County Road E (Area 1). Alternative 1 consisting of road
improvements that include the addition of a pedestrian trail along the west side of the roadway.
Alternative 2 consists of roadway improvements that exclude the trail construction, but maintains
8-ft wide paved shoulders along the length of the road.
Page 2 of 2
Section 7 of the report provides recommendations for specific street, water main, sanitary sewer,
and drainage improvements based on infrastructure needs and available project funding. The
recommendations within Section 7 are based on preliminary direction from the City Council during
a work session on July 20, 2020 regarding the estimated costs for the potential trail construction and
a work session on September 21, 2020 regarding the proposed intersection improvements.
Staff is seeking direction from the City Council regarding the following three items.
1. Does the City Council continue to support the recommended roadway and utility
improvements along Snelling Avenue North as outlined in the report?
2. Does the City Council continue to support the recommendations to further study the
intersection of Snelling Avenue North and County Road E, with a target date for potential
improvements in 2023 or 2024?
3. Should staff proceed with a second round of public engagement and schedule the feasibility
report to be officially received by the Council in April and an Improvement hearing in May
2021 to make a final determination regarding the project improvements?
Budget Impact
Proposed project funding sources are a combination of the City’s Permanent Improvement
Revolving (PIR) fund, utility funds, Ramsey County, Municipal State Aid, and special assessments
for street improvements as summarized in the following table.

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Authorization
On August 26, 2019, the Arden Hills City Council adopted Resolution 2019-026 ordering
the preparation of an engineering feasibility study for the Old Snelling Avenue and County
Road E Improvement Project. The resolution directs staff to study the need, cost-
effectiveness and feasibility of potential infrastructure improvements within the proposed
project area. During the project investigation, soil contamination was identified within the
project corridor, which resulted in an expanded scope of work and extended time line for the
feasibility study as further described in Section 2.
1.2 Project Scope
This report investigates the feasibility of street and utility improvements identified within the
City of Arden Hills Capital Improvement Program titled Old Snelling Avenue PMP with
Intersection Improvements at County Road E and local streets directly adjacent to the
Snelling Avenue corridor. The project was identified as a result of deteriorating street
pavement conditions, traffic delays at the intersection of Snelling Avenue North and County
Road E, and potential deterioration of water main, sanitary sewer and drainage infrastructure.
The project is separated into two distinct parts as described below.
Area 1 – Snelling Avenue North
Snelling Avenue North (MSAS 111) from County Road E to State Trunk Highway 51
Bussard Court from Snelling Avenue North to 100 feet west of Snelling Avenue North
Cummings Lane from Snelling Avenue North to east termini
Area 2 – Intersection of Snelling Avenue North and County Road E
Snelling Avenue North (CSAH 76) from County Road E to Arden Oaks Drive
Snelling Avenue North from County Road E to 375 feet south of intersection
Lake Johanna Blvd (CSAH 149) from Snelling Avenue N to Ridgewood Road
County Road E (CSAH 15) from Snelling Avenue N to Pascal Avenue
A map depicting the location of potential street and utility improvements is provided in
Appendix A.
This report includes specific recommendations regarding the recommended scope of
improvements, estimated project costs, funding sources, estimated assessments and a project
delivery schedule. Improvements considered within this report include street reconstruction,
intersection improvements, pedestrian trail construction, water main replacement, sanitary
sewer repairs and drainage improvements.

1.4 Previous Studies
Over the past ten years, the City of Arden Hills completed three studies focused on potential
improvements to Old Snelling Avenue within the proposed project area. A brief summary
of these three documents is provided below.
Preliminary Scoping Document, Old Snelling Avenue Improvements (2010)
The City completed a preliminary scoping document for proposed improvements to Old
Snelling Avenue North from County Road E to TH 51 in December 2010. This study
reviewed five project alternatives as described below.
Alternative 1: Urban Reconstruction (with parking on both sides): Full road
reconstruction with one 12 foot driving lane in each direction, eight foot paved shoulders
for parking, and concrete curb and gutter.
Alternative 2: Urban Reconstruction (with no parking): Full road reconstruction with
one 12 foot driving lane in each direction, a two foot curb reaction distance, and concrete
curb and gutter.
Alternative 3: Rural Reconstruction: Full road reconstruction with one 12 foot driving
lane in each direction and 6 foot paved shoulders (no additional curb and gutter).
Alternative 4: Rural Reconditioning (bituminous reclaim): This alternative consists of
reclaiming the existing 24 foot wide bituminous roadway and reclaiming the 8 foot wide
shoulders. The new street and shoulder widths would be replaced to match the existing
section (no significant subgrade correction).
Alternative 5: Bituminous Reclaim (Non-State Aid standard): This alternative consists
of removing Old Snelling Avenue from the State Aid system and performing an
improvement to the roadway segment that does not meet State Aid standards, such as
removing the existing paved shoulders.
Feasibility Report Page 3
Snelling Avenue North and County Road E - Street and Utility Improvements
City Project Number PW 20-0100 DRAFT
The Preliminary Scoping Document did not provide a specific recommendation regarding
the preferred alternative. Snelling Avenue North was originally constructed by MnDOT and
turned back to the City in approximately 1995. The document includes the following
statement: “It should be noted that City staff was not able to receive Minnesota Department
of Transportation (Mn/DOT) records for the original construction or maintenance on Old
Snelling Avenue. Since the soil borings were obtained within the roadway shoulder areas,
City staff believes there possibly might be a concrete base underlying the existing asphalt
surface.”
2012 Feasibility Report, Old Snelling Avenue Improvements
The City prepared a Feasibility Report in March 2012 for proposed improvements along
Snelling Avenue North from County Road E to Trunk Highway 51. This report focused on
Alternative 4 from the Preliminary Scoping Document, which includes reclaiming and
repaving Old Snelling Avenue to maintain the existing width and lane configuration and no
additional curb and gutter.
The report describes potential construction of a pedestrian trail extension along Snelling
Avenue North as identified in the City’s Parks, Trails, and Open Space Plan. Preliminary
cost estimates from a 2008 trail study are sited in the report, with a recommendation to
construct an 8-foot wide trail along the west side of Old Snelling Road from County Road E
to TH 51. However, it appears that trail construction costs were not included in the project
cost estimates within the 2012 Feasibility Report.
The 2012 Feasibility Report was completed prior to the current proposal to construct
intersection improvements at the intersection of County Road E and Snelling Avenue North
and does not include costs for intersection improvements. In addition, recent utility
inspections have identified the need to repair or replace deteriorated storm sewer and sanitary
sewer within the project area, which are not included in the 2012 Report.
Intersection Control Evaluation, County Road E at Old Snelling Avenue (2018)
The City and County jointly participated in the preparation of an Intersection Control
Evaluation (ICE) study in October 2018 for the intersection of County Road E and Snelling
Avenue North. A copy is provided in Appendix B. This report includes an evaluation of
traffic control, intersection lane geometry, and operations using projected traffic volumes.
The County Road E corridor is projected to see an increase in traffic over the coming years.
Two alternatives for intersection modifications were evaluated, including the construction of
a traffic signal and the construction of a single-lane roundabout. Both the traffic signal and
roundabout alternatives are believed to accommodate future growth in the area, but the study
concluded that the roundabout is believed to provide a safer alternative than the current all-
way stop control. The intersection volumes did not meet traffic signal warrants.

2. EXISTING CONDITIONS
2.1 Land Use
Properties located within Area 1 (Snelling Avenue North from County Road E to Highway
51) are within the R-1 Single Family Residential District based on the City’s Zoning Map.
Two types of properties border the proposed improvements consisting of single family
residential properties and two tax-exempt properties located at 3588 Ridgewood Road (City)
and 1357 Cummings Lane (State Trust).
Properties within Area 2 (Snelling Avenue N and County Road E Intersection) are located in
the R-1 Single Family Residential District, with one parcel in the northeast quadrant of the
intersection that is zoned within the NB-Neighborhood Business District, generally referred
to as the Lindey’s Steakhouse property. The second parcel at 1525 Lake Johanna Boulevard
is a R-1 single family residential home with frontage and driveway access within the
proposed construction limits of the potential intersection improvements as described below.
2.2 Streets
Street improvements considered within the study are organized into two potential
improvement areas as described below.
AREA 1 – Snelling Avenue North
Snelling Avenue North from County Road E to Trunk Highway 51 is an undivided roadway
that is approximately 4,300 feet long (0.81 mile) and lies within a 200 foot right-of-way. The
northerly 430 feet immediately south of County Road E is an urban section roadway with
curb and gutter, two through lanes, one northbound left turn lane and shoulders having an
approximate total street width of 44-feet. The remaining corridor is a rural road section
having 12 foot driving lanes in each direction and 8 foot paved shoulders, for a total width
of 40 feet.
Snelling Avenue North was previously a state highway, which was turned back t o the City
in the mid-1990s. Soil borings conducted in 2019 indicate fill material varying in depth from
1.5 feet to 11.5 feet and generally classified as clayey sand. Underlying the fill is glacial till
consisting of clayey sand and sandy lean clay. The top bituminous pavement thickness
ranges from 3-inches to 11-inches thick, with 6-inches to 24-inches of aggregate base above
a second lower layer of bituminous pavement along the southern portion of the corridor. A
copy of the geotechnical report and soil boring logs are provided in Appendix C.
Pavement conditions are highly deteriorated with a current Pavement Condition Rating of 15
out of 100. A majority of the pavement is aging and exhibiting characteristics of distress,
such as potholes, rutting, and severe cracking throughout much of the corridor. The demand
for frequent pavement patching has become excessive and it is no longer cost effective to
maintain the existing pavement though preservation or resurfacing improvements.
Feasibility Report Page 5
Snelling Avenue North and County Road E - Street and Utility Improvements
City Project Number PW 20-0100 DRAFT
A 140- foot long segment of Snelling Avenue North located approximately 400 feet north of
Highway 51 was reconstructed in 2018 during replacement of the bridge that conveys
drainage from Lake Josephine to Lake Johanna.
Snelling Avenue North serves as a collector roadway and is currently designated as a
Municipal State Aid street (MSAS 111). Average daily traffic data indicates a volume of
1600 vehicles per day in 2017, the most recent data available from MnDOT. The roadway
is posted at 40 miles per hour in both the northbound and southbound directions.
Cummings Lane is a rural section residential street extending approximately 575 feet east
from Snelling Avenue North and lies within a 60 foot wide right-of-way. The existing
bituminous pavement rating is below 20, with significant block cracking and segments
having complete pavement failure. Pavement thickness was found to be only 2 to 3 inches
in various locations. Routine patching and pavement resurfacing are no longer cost effective
due to the extent of pavement deterioration. The storm sewer catch basin located at the east
end of the street collects surface drainage and discharges into the right -of-way for Trunk
Highway 51. This catch basin structure and corrugated metal outlet pipe are deteriorated
based on inspections conducted in 2020.
Bussard Court is an urban section residential street serving 15 residential properties to the
west of Snelling Avenue North. This street is approaching the end of service life and should
be considered for reconstruction within the next five years. However, the first 100-feet
directly west of Snelling Avenue is highly deteriorated due to unstable subgrade conditions.
The Public Works department has made several attempts to complete small repairs, but the
pavement continues to fail and has become difficult to maintain in the winter and spring.
Subgrade corrections are needed to stabilize the pavement.
Area 2 – Intersection of Snelling Avenue North and County Road E
The intersection of Snelling Avenue North and County Road E is currently controlled by an
all-way stop condition. The east leg of the intersection consists of one eastbound and
westbound travel lane with a continuous left turn lane and an average daily traffic (ADT)
volume of 10,000 vehicles per day (2017). The north leg of the intersection consists of one
northbound and southbound travel lane with a dedicated southbound left turn lane and an
average daily traffic volume of 6,600 vehicles per day (2019). The west leg of the
intersection consists of one eastbound and westbound travel lane with an eastbound left turn
lane and an average daily traffic volume of 5,100 vehicles per day (2019). The south leg is
described above.
The intersection is contained within a large swath of right of way stemming from the previous
1950’s intersection configuration as a state highway. The intersection has been in its current
configuration since 1974. Minor improvements were completed along the north and east
legs of the intersection in 2018 during construction of an adjacent pedestrian trail.
Pavement conditions at the intersection are showing signs of distress, with generally lower
pavement condition ratings for the south leg of the intersection as described above.
Intersection functionality and crash history are described below.

City Project Number PW 20-0100 DRAFT
2.3 Intersection Conditions
In April 2018, the City Council entered into a cooperative agreement with Ramsey County
to conduct a traffic study and Intersection Control Evaluation (ICE) for the intersection of
Snelling Avenue North and County Road E. The ICE study was completed in November
2018. A copy of the report is provided in Appendix B.
The purpose of the ICE report was to evaluate the existing (2018) and future (2038) traffic
control layout for the intersection of County Road E and Snelling Avenue North and
recommend potential improvements. The report identifies two key points related to the
existing intersection function.
1. The County Road E corridor is projected to see an increase in traffic over the coming
years with the Bethel University Expansion.
2. MnDOT’s Crash Mapping Analysis Tool (MnCMAT) database indicates there have been
9 crashes at the intersection between January 2013 and December 2015. Existing crash
patterns show that the intersection experiences an extremely high rate of 0.68 crashes
per million entering vehicles compared to the average rate of 0.34 for all-way stop
intersections. The crash rate is higher than the critical rate of 0.65 and the severity rate
of 0.76 is higher than the Statewide average severity rate of 0.5.
The intersection was simulated with a traffic model for both the AM and PM peak traffic
hours using existing (2018) traffic volume data as described in the ICE report. The traffic
operations analysis showed that the intersection currently operates at an acceptable Level of
Service (LOS) “A” during the AM peak hour and LOS “B” during the PM peak hour. The
report concluded “The analysis results indicate there are not major queuing issues currently
at the intersection. However, based on field observation during the peak hours, the
intersection seems to perform far poorer tha[n] what the analysis is indicating.”
The study then continued with further analysis of the intersection, substituting traffic volume
data from the 2013 Bethel University Expansion Traffic Stud y in lieu of existing 2018 traffic
volume data. This alternative analysis assumed traffic volumes of approximately 30 percent
more than measured volumes and identified that the intersection is forecasted to fail during
the PM peak hour under current conditions. The study further predicted that the intersection
would continue to operate poorly during the PM peak hour under projected increases in
traffic volume in the year 2038.
The installation of traffic signals are guided by a series of standards, or warrants, that define
the minimum conditions under which installing a traffic signal could be justified. The ICE
report reviewed existing traffic characteristics and determined that traffic signal warrants are
not currently met for the intersection of Snelling Avenue North and County Road E.
Installation of a signal would not be justified at this time.
The traffic study further reviewed the intersection to determine if warrants are met for
installation of a single lane roundabout. Although no formal traffic warrants for roundabouts
currently exist, the MnDOT Intersection Control Evaluation Manual states that if a traffic
signal or an all-way stop warrant is met, a roundabout should also be considered as a traffic
control device. All-way stop warrants are currently met for this intersection, therefore the
Feasibility Report Page 7
Snelling Avenue North and County Road E - Street and Utility Improvements
City Project Number PW 20-0100 DRAFT
ICE report concluded that installation of a roundabout is considered to be justified and
recommended at the intersection of Snelling Avenue North and County Road E.
The Arden Hills City Council reviewed and discussed the above information during a work
session on September 21, 2020. Traffic conditions at this intersection have recently changed
as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and construction along the I-35W North MnPass
Project. The City Council directed staff to conduct further study of the intersection as
described in Section 3 of this report.
2.4 Sanitary Sewer
The existing sanitary sewer within the study area consists of vitrified clay pipe (VCP),
polyvinyl chloride pipe (PVC), and segments with cured in place liner as summarized on the
following Table 1. Sanitary sewers were inspected by the City Public Works Department in
2019 using video televising equipment and conditions were documented as shown in the
right column on the table. Condition grades are based on a scale of 1 (good) to 5 (significant
defects). Pipe sections with condition grades between 3 and 5 should generally be
considered for potential rehabilitation or replacement as described in Section 3. A map
showing the location of the references sewer segments is provided in Appendix D.

2.5 Water Main
The existing water distribution mains within the study area consists of cast iron pipe (CIP)
and ductile iron pipe (DIP) as summarized on the following Table 2. A review of the City’s
water main break historical records did not identify past water main pipe break or leak
repairs. The water main extending between Lemetti Lane and Bussard Court is considered
to have an elevated risk for pipe breaks due to the configuration of the water system as further
described in Section 3.
Water main was replaced and increased to a 12-inch diameter pipe along Snelling Avenue to
the north of County Road E in 2018, but the project did not extend the new, larger diameter
water main to the 12-inch diameter main along County Road E. A 150-ft segment of 6-inch
diameter water main was not replaced. Replacement of this 150-ft segment is an important
improvement to eventually provide higher water supply conveyance capacity to the northern
portion of the city.
2.6 Drainage
Snelling Avenue North between Highway 51 and Arden Place is a rural section roadway with
minimal storm sewer. The majority of runoff is directed to ditches along the roadway, which
ultimately drain to ponds and wetlands within the Johanna subwatershed area.

Snelling Avenue North and County Road E - Street and Utility Improvements
City Project Number PW 20-0100 DRAFT
The segment of Snelling Avenue located north of Arden Place drains to a storm sewer system
within the intersection at County Road E. From this intersection, runoff is conveyed north
through 18-inch and 21-inch diameter storm sewer pipes that discharges into a wetland
located in the southwest quadrant of Snelling Avenue North and the railroad crossing (Public
Waters #194W), within the Valentine subwatershed area. Ramsey County has conducted a
CCTV inspection of this 18-inch and 21-inch storm sewer and documented that a majority
of pipe segments are in poor to failing condition with cracks, voids and multiple joint failures.
The existing storm sewer system is shown in Appendix D.
The two project areas are not identified within the Flood Hazard Areas Map contained within
the City’s Surface Water Plan, with the exception of the Lake Josephine outlet channel
crossing at the new Snelling Avenue bridge structure near the south end of the project
corridor.
A wetland delineation review was conducted with Rice Creek Watershed District during
preparation of this feasibility report. A copy of the wetland boundary determination and
Wetland Conservation Act decision for the project corridor is provided in Appendix E.
Minor additional wetland delineation work may be required during the design process based
on the extent of storm sewer replacement north of the Snelling Avenue and County Road E
intersection for Public Waters #194W noted above.
2.7 Environmental Conditions
During the geotechnical investigation process for this feasibility study, the geotechnical firm
reported “Apparent Hydrocarbon Odors” at 11 of the 15 soil boring locations. In response
to this information, the City hired a consultant to conduct an environmental investigation to
assist with identification of potential contaminants within the project area. The scope of
work for the environmental investigation included a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment
(ESA) and a field investigation to evaluate the current subsurface soil, groundwater and soil
vapor conditions along the project corridor.
The investigation identified elevated contamination levels at two locations along the corridor
designated as environmental borings EB-3 and EB-8. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
(PAH) and diesel range organics (DRO) impacted soil above the MPCA reuse criteria was
identified at these two locations. Benzo(a)pyrene was detected in soil samples at EB-3 and
EB-8 above the Tier II Industrial and Tier 1 Residential soil reference values criteria. DRO
also exceeded the MPCA criteria for unregulated full, which will require disposal of
excavated regulated fill at an MPCA-permitted landfill during construction.
Following completion of the field investigation, the City authorized the environmental
consultant to prepare a Response Action Plan, a Construction Contingency Plan and a MPCA
Brownfields enrollment application for the project. A copy of the Phase I ESA, Field
Investigation Report and Response Action Plan are provided in Appendix F.

2.8 Private Utilities
Private utility companies having infrastructure within the study area will be notified early
during the project design phase and requested to coordinate any necessary repairs or
replacements at their cost. Private utility infrastructure located in the study area includes
Comcast (Cable), CenturyLink (Telephone), and Xcel Energy (Electric/Gas). The natural
gas above-ground infrastructure in the southwest quadrant of Snelling Avenue and County
Road E will require significant coordination as part of the design process for future
intersection improvements.

3. PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS
3.1 Street Improvements: Area 1 – Snelling Avenue North
Two alternatives for roadway improvements along Snelling Avenue North from County
Road E to Highway 51 were investigated as part of this study.
Alternative 1 - Full Reconstruction Plus Trail: This alternative includes the full depth
reconstruction of the roadway and the addition of an 8 to 10 foot wide multiuse
pedestrian/bicycle trail extending from County Road E to Highway 51. The potential trail
was considered based on the City’s 2040 comprehensive plan which identifies a proposed
regional bicycle transportation network trail extending along Snelling Avenue North from
Hamline Avenue at Highway 51 to Lake Valentine Road.
A schematic layout of the proposed roadway and trail improvements for Alternative 1 is
provided in Appendix G. The proposed road section and trail alignment were identified due
to several challenges along the corridor. While the road is located in a wide right of way,
there are sections of steep grades along several sections, with side slopes adjacent to the road
in excess of 1:3 and grade differentials of 25 feet or more at certain locations, in addition to
delineated wetland boundaries along the corridor.
Alternative 1 proposes to narrow the roadway from 40 feet to a width of 28 to 34 feet within
the center section, install curb and storm sewer, and set the trail alignment directly adjacent
to the west curb line in an attempt to minimize substantial tree removal, minimize large
volumes of cut and fill grading, and avoid impacts to delineated wetlands. A similar trail
alignment was used along Snelling Avenue to the north of County Road E.
The advantages of Alternate 1 include completion of a segment of regional trail and
providing a dedicated facility for pedestrian and bicycles along the road corridor currently
posted at 40 mph. Pedestrians currently walk along the 8 -foot wide paved shoulder. The
disadvantages of Alternate 1 include a substantial increase in project costs, increased scope
and construction timeline for installation of curb and storm sewer, increased risk of
encountering areas of soil contamination during storm sewer installation, use of limited city
funds compared to higher priority trail segments to the north of County Road E, and creation
of a paved trail segment that terminates at Highway 51 with no safety improvements to cross
the highway at Hamline Avenue.
Alternative 2 - FDR Pavement Replacement (no trail): This alternative consists of
reclaiming the existing pavement by milling the bituminous pavement material and blending
it with the upper portion of the underlying aggregate base, commonly referred to as full depth
reclamation (FDR). Approximately 4-inches of reclaimed material would then be removed
to maintain the existing vertical profile of the road, and a new 4-inch thick bituminous
pavement section would be placed to the existing 40-feet road width, including two 12-foot
Feasibility Report Page 12
Snelling Avenue North and County Road E - Street and Utility Improvements
City Project Number PW 20-0100 DRAFT
travel lines and two 8-foot wide paved shoulders. Fog line pavement markings would be
installed to delineate the pavement shoulders.
A schematic layout of the proposed roadway and trail improvements for Alternative 2 is
provided in Appendix H. The advantages of Alternate 2 include a shorter construction
timeline, lower project costs, focus of limited capital funds for trail segments north of County
Road E, and reduced risk of encountering contaminated soil conditions. The disadvantages
of Alternative 2 would include maintaining the current condition where bicyclists and
pedestrians continue to use the 8-ft wide paved shoulders without the benefit of a dedicated
multiuse trail facility south of County Road E.
Council Consideration: The City Council reviewed the two roadway alternatives described
above during a work session on July 20, 2020. The Council discussed the cost differential
between the two alternatives in relation to the City’s limited availability of capital
improvement funds. The Council also discussed the higher priority currently placed on
recreational trail segments along Snelling Avenue North from County Road E2 to Lake
Valentine Road and the connection to Mounds View High School, which is reflected in the
City’s current efforts to obtain federal regional solicitation funding for trail improvements.
While not ideal, the roadway south of County Road E does have 8-foot wide shoulders to
provide some accommodation for pedestrians and bicyclist. Based on these factors, the
consensus of the City Council was a general preference for Alternative 2.
3.2 Street Improvements: Area 2 – Intersection of Snelling Ave and County Road E
Section 2.3 provides a summary of the Intersection Control Evaluation (ICE) study
previously conducted for the intersection of Snelling Avenue North and County Road E. The
ICE report provides a review of alternatives considered for the intersection and
recommended construction of a single lane roundabout. A copy of the ICE report is provided
in Appendix B.
Two schematic layouts were prepared for the proposed roundabout intersection
improvements as provided in Appendix I. While both layouts are similar, there is variation
in the intersection alignment to illustrate the ability to minimize potential right of way
acquisition and the need to relocate overhead power and natural gas utilities near the
intersection. For the purposes of this feasibility report, both layouts are assumed to have the
same estimated costs as provided in Section 5.
Council Consideration: The City Council reviewed the ICE report and the proposed single
lane roundabout intersection improvements during a work session on September 21, 2020.
The Council discussed the significant changes in traffic volumes at the intersection of
Snelling Avenue and County Road E due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Council also
discussed the potential changes to traffic volume from Bethel University, which is one of the
primary trip generators for this intersection, and concerns expressed during the public open
house meeting in October 2019 regarding the proposed roundabout. The consensus of the
City Council was to separate the potential intersection improvements into an independent
Feasibility Report Page 13
Snelling Avenue North and County Road E - Street and Utility Improvements
City Project Number PW 20-0100 DRAFT
project from the Area 1 roadway improvements south of County Road E. The Council further
directed staff to work with Ramsey County to conduct additional traffic study of the
intersection after traffic patterns return to more stable condition in 2021 or 2022.
3.3 Street Improvements: Cummings Lane and Bussard Court
As mentioned in Section 2, Cummings Lane and the east 100-feet of Bussard Court are highly
deteriorated and can no longer be cost-effectively maintained. Proposed improvements for
Cummings Lane consist of reclaiming the existing pavement, shaping the generated
aggregate material to raise the center crown to improve pavement drainage and repaving the
roadway with 4-inches of bituminous pavement. The installation of curb and gutter is not
proposed along Cummings Lane. Improvements also include replacement of the storm sewer
structure at the low point of the road and the culvert extending into the drainage ditch along
Trunk Highway 51.
Proposed street improvements for the 100-foot section of Bussard Court include removal of
the pavement, reconstruction of the upper two feet of subgrade with granular and aggregate
base, replacement of damaged curb and placement of 4-inches of new bituminous pavement.
3.4 Utility Improvements: Area 1 – Snelling Ave N south of County Road E
Sanitary Sewer
Sanitary sewer along Snelling Avenue is located approximately 30 feet or more to the east
and west of the roadway pavement. The segment between Arden Place and Skiles Lane was
previously improved with a CIPP liner. Based on the recent condition evaluation
summarized in Section 2, the recommended sanitary sewer improvements are limited to
replacement of the 8-inch diameter crossing at Skiles Lane east as shown in Appendix D.
This segment of sewer was originally constructed with a combination of VCP and CIP pipe
materials, which is believed to have been done as an alternative to installing a steel casing
pipe within the former State highway. The CIP section of pipe is in a highly deteriorated
condition.
Water Main
Under the Alternative 1 scenario (trail), water main along Snelling Avenue North would be
replaced with new ductile iron or PVC pipe due to the significant excavation and disturbance
required for construction of the trail and associated storm sewer system.
Under the Alternative 2 scenario (no trail), a majority of existing water main south of County
Road E is proposed to remain in-place. These segments of water main do not have a history
of water main breaks based on City records. Removal and replacement of water main
between Lemetti Lane and Bussard Court is recommended to improve reliability of the water
supply feed from Cummings Lane, particularly for Bussard Court, which is supplied from
only one direction. A water main break between Bussard and Cummings Lane would disrupt
water service to 19 or more homes. The locations of water main improvements are indicated
in Appendix D.
Feasibility Report Page 14
Snelling Avenue North and County Road E - Street and Utility Improvements
City Project Number PW 20-0100 DRAFT
Drainage
Snelling Avenue south of Arden Place is predominately a rural section roadway with little
storm sewer within the project area. Culverts are located under the adjacent streets and
driveways connecting to Snelling Avenue.
The addition of a pedestrian trail as described in Alternate 1 would require the installation of
a significant amount of curb and storm sewer to allow the trail to be located directly adjacent
to the road surface and minimize the amount of fill embankment within wetlands and steep
slope areas.
Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) requirements as outlined in Rule C apply to public
linear roadway projects. The proposed roadway improvements under Alternate 1, including
a new pedestrian trail, would likely create more than 10,000 square feet of non-exempt, new
impervious surface and would require the addition of Best Management Practices (BMPs)
such as bio-filtration, stormwater detention for discharge rate management, and inline
sediment/grit chambers. Section 5 includes a general cost estimate for these BMP items.
Proposed roadway improvements for Alternative 2 (no addition of pedestrian trail) would
not create 10,000 square feet or more of new impervious surface. Rule C requirements do
not currently apply to mill, reclamation and overlay pavement projects. Section 5 does not
include the additional costs for permanent BMPs for Alternative 2. Temporary erosion and
sediment control devices will be utilized during construction in accordance with applicable
NPDES permit and RCWD Rule D requirements.
3.5 Utility Improvements: Area 2 – Intersection of Snelling Ave and County Road E
Sanitary Sewer
Based on the recent condition evaluation described in Section 2, the recommended sanitary
sewer improvements include installation of 250 feet of cured-in-place-pipe (CIPP) sewer
lining between MH 3-035 and 3-034 as well as between MH 3-033 and 3-034 as shown in
Appendix D. Sanitary sewer pipe between MH 3-034 and 3-038 is proposed to be removed
and replaced due to the highly deteriorated condition of the pipe.
Water Main
Recommended water main improvements within Area 2 include replacement of 620 feet of
12-inch diameter water main within the intersection and replacement of an additional 150
feet of 6-inch diameter water main extending north with 12-inch water main to complete the
water main capacity improvements along Snelling Avenue North from County Road E to
County Road E2.
Drainage
Construction of a roundabout intersection improvement will require replacement of existing
storm sewer to reconfigure storm sewer inlets and conveyance pipes based on the geometric
design of the roundabout. Recommended improvements also include rehabilitation of
approximately 600 feet of existing storm sewer by installation of cured-in-place-pipe (CIPP)
lining as shown in Appendix D. The CIPP installation is recommended as a cost effective
Feasibility Report Page 15
Snelling Avenue North and County Road E - Street and Utility Improvements
City Project Number PW 20-0100 DRAFT
method of repairing the pipe segments located outside of the intersection by avoiding
excavation required to remove and replace the pipes.
Storm water drainage design will need to meet Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD)
requirements as outlined in Rule C. This section of the watershed regulations requires a
permit for Public Linear Projects creating 10,000 square feet or more of impervious surface.
The project design will evaluate specific Best Management Practices (BMPs) such as bio -
filtration and inline sediment/grit chambers placed before discharging into the downstream
storm sewer system. Section 5 includes a general cost estimate for these BMP items.
Temporary erosion and sediment control devices will be utilized during construction in
accordance with applicable NPDES permit and RCWD Rule D requirements.
Private Utilities
Construction of a single lane roundabout as shown in Appendix I is anticipated to require
relocation of overhead power lines along the west side of Snelling Avenue and may require
modification to the natural gas manifold assembly located in the southwest quadrant of the
intersection. Early and frequent coordination with Xcel Energy will be necessary during the
design process.
3.6 Easements
Street improvements south of County Road E as proposed within this report are anticipated
to occur within the existing road right-of-way. Public utility improvements are planned to
occur within the right-of-way or currently dedicated drainage and utility easements. The
need for permanent easement acquisition south of County Road E is not expected to construct
the project as proposed.
Construction of the proposed single lane roundabout at the intersection of County Road E
and Snelling Avenue North may require temporary and permanent easement acquisition in
the southwest quadrant of the intersection from the residential property at 3586 Ridgewood
Road and potentially the northeast quadrant at 3610 Snelling Avenue North. The intersection
design described in Section 3.4 will involve encroachments into the excess right-of-way
green space commonly referred to as Lindey’s Park in the southeast corner of the
intersection. A portion of this green space will also be needed for construction of a
stormwater BMP to fulfill the regulatory requirements of the Rice Creek Watershed District.

3.8 Construction Access and Staging
A traffic control and construction staging plan would be developed during preparation of
construction plans to coordinate property access and traffic safety within the project area.
The contractor will be responsible for providing access to all properties at the end of each
work day, with the exception of concrete curing times during curb installation. Additional
information regarding staging and property access would be provided to residents prior to
and during the construction phase of the project.

4. PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT
A public open house meeting was conducted on October 17, 2019 at Arden Hills City Hall to
present information on the proposed improvements to Snelling Avenue North, potential
pedestrian trail improvements, and potential intersection improvements at County Road E. An
invitation letter was mailed to 240 properties near the project corridor for the open house
meeting. The meeting was attended by approximately 50 to 60 people.
The open house included stations where residents could review schematic drawings of the
proposed road improvements, pedestrian trail option and layout of the potential roundabout
intersection improvements. Residents asked questions of staff and provide comments regarding
the project. The most common comments included the following items.
Roadway pavement is highly deteriorated and needs to be improved.
Concerns regarding speeding traffic and a desire to lower the speed limit
Concerns or objections to the proposed roundabout
Concerns for pedestrian safety along the corridor
Concerns with traffic stacking west of the traffic signal at County Road E and Highway
51 interchange.
City staff distributed comment cards during the meeting to allow residents to provide additional
written comments regarding the project. The City received 13 comment cards and one letter,
which are provided in Appendix J.
A subsequent letter was mailed to residents on November 4, 2019 notifying residents of the
planned change in delivery schedule from 2021 to 2022 due to Ramsey County changing the
construction schedule for Lexington Avenue from 2020 to 2021. A copy of this letter is included
in Appendix J.
Based on direction from the City Council regarding the results of this feasibility study, additional
information would be shared with residents through mailed letters, emails, social media and
informational updates on the City’s website.

5.3 Preliminary Assessment Roll
Assessments for street improvement costs are proposed to be levied to benefiting properties
as outlined in Minnesota Statute 429 and the City of Arden Hills Assessment Policy. A
preliminary assessment map and detailed preliminary assessment roll is provided in
Appendix L.
Special assessments to benefiting properties along residential streets typically fund 50
percent of the surface improvements, including contingencies and overhead pursuant to Part
1 of the City’s Assessment Policy. The policy states that corner lots shall be assessed on the
street that is used for the mailing address. This provision is interpreted to limit assessments
for street improvements to the street segment abutting the mailing address frontage of the
property. This is an important provision given that only 24 properties are addressed on
Snelling Avenue North between County Road E and Highway 51. All other properties have
mailing addresses from adjacent side.
Given the non-standard lot configuration and limited number of eligible properties along the
Snelling Avenue corridor based on mailing addresses, assessments for Area 1 street
improvements on Snelling Avenue were calculated by dividing 50 percent of street costs
(under Alternate 2, no trail) by the total length of roadway improvement frontage to
determine a cost per foot. This unit cost per foot was then multiplied by the minimum lot
frontage for R1 zoned properties at 95 feet to arrive at a residential equivalent unit (REU)
assessment rate.
Part 1 of the City’s Assessment Policy further states that the assessable cost of an
improvement shall be defined as those costs that, in the opinion of the City Council, are
attributable to the need for service in the area served by the improvement. The potential
trail construction described in Alternate 1 and the proposed roundabout intersection
construction within Area 2 are considered regional improvements that serve numerous
properties outside of the project area and regional traffic traveling through the project
corridor. Therefore, the costs for these improvements are not included in the estimated REU
rate. The preliminary assessment rates for the parcels adjacent to the Area 2 intersection
improvements are calculated based on Area 1 standard street improvements as described
above.
Estimated assessment rates are provided below.
Street Improvements: Area 1 - Snelling Avenue, County Road E to Highway 51
Estimated Street Costs: ......................................................... $782,930
50% Estimated Street Costs: ................................................. $391,465
Total Street Length Frontage: .............................................. 8,220 feet
50% Cost per Foot: ................................................................... $47.62
R1 Zoned Minimum Frontage Width: ...................................... 95 feet
Assessment Rate: ...................................................................... $4,524
Feasibility Report Page 21
Snelling Avenue North and County Road E - Street and Utility Improvements
City Project Number PW 20-0100 DRAFT
The Assessment Policy states that the assessment rate shall be computed on a per-lot unit
basis, with a lot unit being defined as a platted single-family residential lot or equivalent,
which, according to current Arden Hills Municipal Code cannot be further subdivided for R-
1 and R-2 residential use. Two assessable lots within the project have an area that is large
enough to subdivide into multiple R-1 or R-2 single family lots with a minimum lot area of
14,000 square-feet. 3263 Snelling Avenue North is listed as 3.38 acres on the Ramsey
County property records. Given the size, dimensions and terrain, this lot is assigned three
(3) REUs on the draft assessment roll. 3265 Snelling Avenue North is listed as 2.52 acres
on the Ramsey County property records. Given the size, dimensions and terrain, this lot is
assigned two (2) REUs on the draft assessment roll.
The Assessment Policy also states that the commercial equivalent assessment rate shall be
based on 70 percent of the total street reconstruction costs. The assessment rate for the
Neighborhood Business district property at 3610 Snelling Avenue North (Lindey’s
Steakhouse) would be 70/50 times the cost per foot calculated above, applied to the 215-ft
property frontage along Snelling Avenue North, or $14,335.
Assessment rates for proposed street improvements along Cummings Lane were calculated
based on the standard application of the Assessment Policy by calculating 50 percent of the
street improvements divided by the number of lots with mailing addresses on Cummings
Lane.

7. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the findings of this report, the following street and utility improvements are
recommended for City Council consideration.
Street Improvements - Area 1
Recommended street and utility improvements for Snelling Avenue North from County Road E
to Highway 51 consists of pavement improvements as previously described as Alternative 2
within this report. The construction of a new pedestrian trail is not recommended at this time
due to the additional cost in relation to limited available capital funding and the Councils priority
to focus on trail construction north of County Road E to connect the City’s trail system to
Mounds View High School and eventually to the regional trail system at County Road 96.
Recommended improvements are summarized as follows.
Full depth pavement reclamation and repaving the roadway to the existing section width from
County Road E to Highway 51.
Reconstruction of Bussard Court from Snelling Avenue N to 100 feet west of Snelling
Avenue N to address failing pavement and subgrade deficiencies.
Full depth pavement reclamation and repaving of Cummings Lane from Snelling Avenue to
east termini.
Replacement of water main between Lemetti Lane and Bussard Court to improve reliability
of the water supply feed south of Cummings Lane.
Replacement of the 8-inch diameter sanitary sewer crossing at Skiles Lane due to
deteriorated pipe conditions.
Intersection and Utility Improvements – Area 2
Intersection improvements at Snelling Avenue North and County Road E are not recommended
to proceed to construction until completion of further investigation of projected traffic volume
growth for Bethel University and the surrounding roadway system. Ramsey County Public
Works representatives have indicated a willingness to conduct additional study of the
intersection and reschedule the intersection improvements within their Transportation
Improvement Program to the year 2023. During the interim planning period, City and County
staff should work collaboratively to address the following issues.
Sanitary sewer repairs within the northeast quadrant of the intersection as described in
Section 3.
Pipe lining and repairs to storm sewer located to the north and east of the intersection as
described in Section 3.
Coordination of future intersection construction schedule with the proposed improvements
along Lexington Avenue between County Road E and I-694.
The total estimated cost for the proposed improvements to Snelling Avenue North as
recommended above is $1,134,990.00. Proposed funding for the project can be provided through
a combination of special assessments and City funds as outlined in Section 5 of this report.

8. FEASIBILITY, NECESSITY AND COST EFFECTIVENESS
The improvements recommended in this study are necessary to continue safe and reliable street
and utility services. The reconstruction of streets provides the City with a cost-effective means
of continuing the City’s street improvement efforts and ensuring an adequate means of
transportation for residents.
These improvements will address the increasing costs for patching and maintaining highly
deteriorated street pavement within the City. Proposed water main improvements will provide
for an orderly replacement of water distribution system assets and reduce the risk of potential
water service disruptions for properties located along Lemetti Lane and Bussard Court.
The recommended improvements constitute a project large enough to ensure a competitive
bidding environment, economy of scale, and are deemed to be cost-effective. Based on the
information contained within this report, the proposed improvements as described can be
considered necessary, cost-effective, and feasible from an engineering standpoint.

Introduction
The purpose of this report is to evaluate the traffic control and intersection lane geometry
necessary for the intersection of County Road E and Old Snelling Avenue in the City of
Arden Hills in Ramsey County, Minnesota. This report will document the existing
conditions, operations and safety. It will also analyze existing and proposed intersection
geometry using projected traffic volumes.
Description of Location
County Road E is an undivided two-lane arterial roadway at the intersection with Old
Snelling Avenue. County Road E begins on the west along the Ramsey County border at
NE Stinson Parkway, is interrupted by Tony Schmidt Regional Park, and forms again at
the study intersection. County Road E then runs east and turns into Soo Street near I-
694. County Road E resumes east of Centerville Road and becomes TH 244 (Wildwood
Road) at the Washington County border. County Road E connects the Cities of New
Brighton, Arden Hills, and Shoreview, and to the east Vadnais Heights and Gem Lake in
Ramsey County. Josephine Road (CSAH 149), which forms the west leg of the study
intersection, is an arterial that runs around the north and west sides of Lake Johanna,
and eventually becomes Fairview Avenue at County Road D.
Old Snelling Avenue is an undivided two-lane collector roadway at the intersection with
County Road E. Old Snelling Avenue begins in the south at Snelling Avenue (TH 51) and
terminates to the north at County State-Aid Highway (CSAH) 96. This roadway provides
access primarily to residential streets and multiple schools in the City of Arden Hills. Old
Snelling Avenue is designated as CSAH 76 to the north of County Road E.
The project location within the context of the surrounding area is represented in Figure

The intersection of County Road E and Old Snelling Avenue is currently controlled by an
all-way stop application. A summary of the characteristics of County Road E and Old
Snelling Avenue at the intersection of study follows:
County Road E at the intersection of study:
▪ East-west Alignment
▪ West approach
o 30 mph speed limit
o 1 exclusive left-turn lane
o 1 shared thru/right-turn lane
o Existing ADT of 5,100 vehicles per day (vpd)
▪ East approach
o 35 mph speed limit
o 1 exclusive left-turn lane
o 1 thru lane
o 1 exclusive right-turn lane
o Existing ADT of 10,500 vpd
Old Snelling Avenue at the intersection of study:
▪ North-south Alignment
▪ North approach
o 45 mph speed limit
o 1 exclusive left-turn lane
o 1 shared thru/right-turn lane
o Existing ADT of 6,700 vpd
▪ South approach
o 40 mph speed limit
o 1 exclusive left-turn lane
o 1 shared thru/right-turn lane
o Existing ADT of 1,700 vpd
The existing intersection geometry is depicted in Figure 2.
Traffic turning movement counts at the intersection of County Road E and Old Snelling
Avenue were collected on February 7, 2018. The results of these traffic counts are
provided in Appendix A. Existing Average Daily Traffic (ADT) volumes are from
Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) traffic volume map years 2013, 2014,
and 2016, and are included in Figure 2.
A summary of the 3-year (January 2013- December 2015) crash history at the intersection
of County Road E and Old Snelling Avenue is provided in Table 1. MnDOT’s Crash
Mapping Analysis Tool (MnCMAT) database indicates there have been 9 crashes at the
intersection between January 2013 and December 2015. Existing crash patterns show
that the intersection experiences an extremely high rate of 0.68 crashes per million
COUNTY ROAD E & OLD SNELLING AVENUE ICE PAGE 5

entering vehicles compared to the average rate of 0.34 for all-way stop intersections. The
crash rate is higher than the critical rate of 0.65 , and the severity rate of 0.76 is higher
than the Statewide average severity rate of 0.5. A Crash Diagram can be found in
Appendix B.
Table 1 – Existing Crash Rate Calculation
Future Conditions
The County Road E corridor is projected to see an increase in traffic over the coming
years with the Bethel University expansion. Two alternatives for intersection modifications
include the construction of a traffic signal and the construction of a single-lane roundabout
at the intersection of County Road E and Old Snelling Avenue . The traffic signal-
controlled intersection would likely maintain similar geometry as the existing condition,
but the single-lane roundabout would require modified geometry which i s shown in Figure
3.
Both the traffic signal and roundabout alternatives are believed to accommodate future
growth in the area, but the roundabout is believed to provide a safer alternative than the
traffic signal alternative and current all-way stop control.

Traffic Control Analysis
The following subsections detail the analysis used for determining the appropriate traffic
control for this intersection. Twelve hours of turning movements (6:00 AM-6:00 PM) were
counted on February 7, 2018 and used to perform a traffic signal warrant analysis and
all-way stop warrant analysis.
Traffic Signal Warrant Analysis
Part 4 of the Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MnMUTCD) contains
information pertaining to highway traffic signals, including a series of traffic -signal
warrants that define the minimum conditions under which installing a traffic signal could
be justified. These traffic signal warrants have been developed as national guidelines to
promote continuity of traffic control devices and to ensure that traffic signals are installed
at intersections that benefit from their operations. The following are the nine MnMUTCD
traffic signal warrants:
Warrant 1-Eight-Hour Vehicle Volume
Warrant 2-Four-Hour Vehicle Volume
Warrant 3-Peak Hour Vehicle Volume
Warrant 4-Pedestrian Volume
Warrant 5-School Crossing
Warrant 6-Coordinated Signal System
Warrant 7-Crash Experience
Warrant 8-Roadway Network
Warrant 9-Intersection Near a Grade Crossing
Table 4C-1 70% volumes were also used for warrant analysis. The MnMUTCD allows
for use of these values when the conditions are as follows:
“May be used when the major-street speed exceeds 40 mph or in an isolated community
with a population of less than 10,000.” – MnMUTCD Table 4C-1, Warrant 1, Eight-Hour
Vehicular Volume.
According to the MnMUTCD, inclusion of right-turn volumes for warrant analysis is
dependent on engineering judgment, site factors and turning movement volumes. By
applying engineering judgment, right-turn movements on only the westbound approach
of the intersection were removed from the analysis due to the presence of a right-turn
lane.
The following is the result of the traffic signal warrant analysis. See Appendix C for
additional information.
▪ Warrant 1 – Eight-Hour Vehicle Volume: NOT MET
▪ Warrant 2 – Four-Hour Vehicle Volume: NOT MET
COUNTY ROAD E & OLD SNELLING AVENUE ICE PAGE 9
WSB PROJECT NO. 011498-000
CITY OF ARDEN HILLS
▪ Warrant 3 – Peak-hour Vehicle Volume: NOT MET
▪ Warrant 4 – Pedestrian Volume: NOT MET
▪ Warrant 5 – School Crossing: N/A
▪ Warrant 6 – Coordinated Signal System: N/A
▪ Warrant 7 – Crash Experience1: NOT MET
▪ Warrant 8 – Roadway Network: NOT MET
▪ Warrant 9 – Intersection Near a Grade Crossing: N/A
No Traffic Signal Warrants are met with existing traffic volumes, lane geometry, and
speed limits.
All-Way Stop Warrant Analysis
Part 2B of the MnMUTCD contains information pertaining to the all-way stop control with
criteria relating to vehicular volumes and crash history that define the minimum conditions
under which installing an all-way stop could be justified.
The following are the discussions regarding whether the intersection geometry and/or
traffic volumes meet the guidance in the MnMUTCD. Text in italics denotes guidance from
the MnMUTCD, and regular text denotes discussion on whether conditions meet the
guidance. Using the provided count data, all-way stop warrants were analyzed.
• A multi-way stop application can be used as an interim measure while
arrangements can be made to install a traffic signal – A traffic signal is not
warranted at this intersection.
• Five or more reported crashes in a 12-month period that are susceptible to
correction by a multi-way stop installation - Only two correctable crashes
occurred within a 12-month period within the past 5 years at this intersection.
• Minimum volumes – 3 of the required 8 hours were met, See Appendix D for
volume analysis.
• Where no single criterion is satisfied, but where the preceding criteria are all
satisfied to 80% of the minimum values. – 7 of the required 8 hours were met,
See Appendix D for the 80% minimum value analysis. (the eighth hour was
three vehicles short of being met)
• The need to control left-turn conflicts – Southbound left-turn conflicts need to be
controlled due to high turning movements volumes.
• The need to control vehicle/pedestrian conflicts near locations that generate high
pedestrian volumes – The intersection does not currently experience a high level
of pedestrian and bicycle traffic that would require installation of a multi-way stop
to provide adequate operations, however trail improvements are planned as part
of this project.
1 MnDOT 2015 TEM states: Current MnDOT policy is that, in general, warrant 7 is not applicable to an
intersection that is already signalized.
COUNTY ROAD E & OLD SNELLING AVENUE ICE PAGE 10
WSB PROJECT NO. 011498-000
CITY OF ARDEN HILLS
• Locations where a road user, after stopping, cannot see conflicting traffic and is
not able to negotiate the intersection unless conflicting cross traffic is also
required to stop – Sightlines are currently visible.
• An intersection of two residential neighborhood collector (through) streets of
similar design and operating characteristics where multi-way stop control would
improve operational characteristics of the intersection – County Road E and Old
Snelling Avenue are of similar design, and have similar functional classification,
and traffic currently operates with a multi-way stop.
Two warrants were met at the intersection of County Road E and Old Snelling Avenue
which does meet the guidance for an all-way stop according to the MnMUTCD.
Although no traffic warrants for roundabouts currently exist, the MnDOT Intersection
Control Evaluation Manual states that if a traffic signal or an all-way stop warrant is met,
a roundabout should also be considered as a warranted traffic control device. There are
all-way stop warrants that are currently met for this intersection, therefore a roundabout
is considered to be justified.

Crash Evaluation
Crash reductions for each type of intersection control were estimated based on the
proposed layout and the crash reduction factors from the Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA) Crash Reduction Factors and the Minnesota Department of Transportation
(MnDOT) Roundabout Crash Reduction Factors. Table 2 shows the projected crash rate
and yearly crashes for each traffic control type using the existing traffic volumes. Fewer
crashes mean a reduced cost to the local economy in terms of lost productivity related to
property damage, injuries, and congestion on local roadways.
Table 2 – Existing and Projected Crash Rates by Traffic Control Type
Traffic Forecasts
Base year 2018 volumes were used from the Bethel University Traffic Study (SRF, 2013)
and forecasted out to year 2038. Based on the City of Arden Hills - 2030 Comprehensive
Plan, traffic volumes in the area are projected to rise by 0.5% annually. For future
analysis, the 0.5% annual increase in traffic movement volumes will be used in all
simulations to determine level of service.
Intersection Capacity Evaluation
Intersection operations are evaluated in terms of average seconds of delay per vehicle,
each approach and turning movement for the intersection. The average number of
seconds of delay is broken into six ranges assigned letter grades A through F defining
each level of service (LOS) as shown in Figure 4. The ranges for unsignalized
intersections are narrower than the ranges for signalized intersections. This is because
many factors including the intangible factors of driver discomfort and frustration are
considered. A one-minute delay at a red light is perceived as being more tolerable than
one minute waiting for a gap in t raffic at a stop sign, especially when there are vehicles
queued behind. It is generally recognized that LOS D is the lowest acceptable LOS for

urban intersections. Intersection capacity is also defined in terms of queue lengths of
stopped vehicles. A 100-foot queue is approximately equal to four cars.
Figure 4 – Level of Service Guidelines
Synchro / SimTraffic, and RODEL software was used to simulate existing and future traffic
operations at the intersection of County Road E and Old Snelling Avenue.
Synchro is a macroscopic software application used for optimizing traffic signal timing and
performing capacity analysis of roadway networks consisting of stop, yield, and signalized
traffic control conditions. The underlying equations are based on Highw ay Capacity
Manual procedures. SimTraffic is a microscopic software application that performs
simulation and animation of vehicular traffic based on Synchro inputs. SimTraffic follows
individual cars and uses a wide variety of variables (including some random variables) to
simulate real-world driver behavior.
Traffic operations at the intersection of County Road E and Old Snelling Avenue were
simulated using existing (2018) and 2038 traffic volumes for the existing traffic control
and lane geometry (no build condition) and for each proposed traffic control and lane
geometry (build conditions).

RODEL is a software program that predicts the traffic performance of roundabouts. The
capacity estimates are based on research completed at the British Transport and Road
Research Laboratory (TRRL) and use empirical equations originally published in 1980.
RODEL calculates the capacity of each roundabout entry as a function of the circulating
flow past that entry and six other geometric parameters. An important f eature of RODEL
is the capability to vary the evaluation confidence level, which provides a factor of safety
that takes into account the variability of traffic predictions and flow characteristics.
RODEL, however, is not able to model the interaction of traffic in a system of intersections.
Existing Operations Analysis
The intersection of County Road E and Old Snelling Avenue is currently all-way stop
controlled. This configuration was simulated in Synchro/SimTraffic for both the AM and
PM peak hours using existing (2018) traffic volumes. The results of the existing condition
traffic operations analysis are summarized in Table 3. Detailed modeling results are
provided in Appendix E.
Table 3 – 2018 Existing Condition Operations Summary (SimTraffic)
The traffic operations analysis shows that the intersection currently operates at an
acceptable LOS A during the AM peak hour and LOS B during the PM peak hour. The
analysis results indicate there are no major queuing issues currently at the intersection.
However, based on field observation during peak hours, the intersection seems to
perform far poorer that what the analysis is indicating. In order to perform a sensitivity
analysis, data from the Bethel University Expansion Traffic Study will also be used for the
2018 and 2038 scenarios.
2018 No Build (Bethel Study volumes) Traffic Operations Analysis
The 2018 no build analysis was modeled using Synchro/SimTraffic software with the
Bethel Study’s projected 2018 traffic volumes. This scenario assumes existing lane
geometry, access, and traffic control. The results of the 2018 no build condition traffic
operations analysis are summarized in Table 4. Further modeling results are provided in
Appendix E.

With the 2018 projected volumes, the intersection is expected to operate with an overall
B during the AM peak hour and an overall E during the PM peak hour. The intersection
was forecasted to fail during the PM peak hour under the no build condition.
2018 Roundabout Traffic Operations Analysis
The 2018 Roundabout analysis was modeled using RODEL software with projected 2018
traffic volumes as described in the “Traffic Forecasts” section. This scenario assumes
roundabout alternative lane geometry, access, and traffic control. The results of the 2018
roundabout condition traffic operations analysis are summarized in Table 5. Further
modeling results are provided in Appendix E.
Table 5 – 2018 (Study volumes) Roundabout Operations Summary (RODEL)
With the 2018 volumes and the proposed geometry, the intersection will operate with an
overall LOS A during the AM and PM peak hours. The roundabout alternative would be
designed to accommodate the Bethel University expansion and future growth in the area.
2038 No Build Traffic Operations Analysis
The 2038 no build analysis was modeled using Synchro/SimTraffic software with
projected 2038 traffic volumes as described in the “Traffic Forecasts” section. This
scenario assumes existing lane geometry, access, and traffic control. The results of the
2038 no build condition traffic operations analysis are summarized in Table 6. Further
modeling results are provided in Appendix E.

Table 6 – 2038 No Build Operations Summary (SimTraffic)
With the 2038 projected volumes, the intersection is expected to operate with an overall
C during the AM peak hour and an overall F during the PM peak hour. The intersection
will continue to operate extremely poor during the PM peak hour, with southbound and
eastbound queues expected to reach over 1,000 feet under the no build condition.

Evaluation Considerations
Right of Way Impacts
Maintaining the existing geometry and traffic control (all-way stop control application)
would require no additional right of way. The build alternative would require the
acquisition of right of way.
Project Costs
• All-Way Stop Control (existing geometry and traffic control) – would require no
construction or maintenance costs.
• Roundabout – Total cost for the construction of a roundabout and surrounding
improvements is estimated to be ~$1,200,000.
Political Consideration / Public Input
This project is in the pre-design stage and the purpose of this Intersection Control
Evaluation is to provide data and analysis to decision makers regarding the
performance, safety, operations and other characteristics of the existing traffic control,
traffic signal control and a single-lane roundabout.
The traffic signal control alternative does not meet warrants necessary for installation of
a traffic signal. The existing all-way stop condition is expected to operate poorly with
expected traffic growth. The roundabout is expected to provide a safer and more
efficiently operating intersection than the other alternatives.
Design Data
The roundabout alternative would be designed to be an urban, single-lane roundabout.
The geometric layout of the roundabout alternative is provided in Figure 5. The design
vehicle used for this intersection is a WB-62. The truck turning paths are shown in Figure
6. The circulatory roadway width for the roundabout alternative would be 20’ (face-to-face
of curb). A 14’ truck apron would encompass the center island to provide space for larger
trucks to navigate the roundabout. A fast path was also completed for this intersection
and is summarized in Figure 7. The preliminary design of the roundabout alternative
meets the speed requirements in NCHRP 672: Roundabouts an Informational Guide, 2nd
Edition. A horizontal sight distance analysis was completed for this intersection, and the
results are shown in Figure 8.

Alternatives Analysis
Based on field evaluation and observation, the existing geometry and traffic control at the
study intersection has poor operation during the afternoon and particularly the p.m. peak
hour. Traffic simulation modeling indicates that expected traffic growth at this intersection
will result in increasingly poorer operations. The inte rsection has experienced above
average crash and severity rates, and the intersection volumes do not meet traffic signal
warrants. Due to these issues, a single-lane roundabout is an appropriate method for
providing a safer intersection with improved operation.
Conclusion
A roundabout at the intersection of County Road E and Old Snelling Avenue is justified.
The intersection currently has an all-way stop control application and currently has
significant delays and queuing issues during the PM peak hour. Traffic volumes are
expected to increase over the next 20 years and a roundabout will accommodate the
higher volumes and provide a safer alternative compare d to the existing traffic control.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Todd Blomstrom, PE (Lic. MN, TX)
FROM: Hector Flores, PE (Lic. MN, MI, IN, ND)
DATE: October 7, 2020
RE: Old Snelling Avenue Geotechnical Recommendations
SEH No. 152489 14.00
The purpose of this memorandum is to document the results of the subsurface investigation and provide
geotechnical recommendations for the Old Snelling Avenue reconstruction project in Arden Hills,
Minnesota. The following paragraphs discuss the project background, subsurface investigation, existing
pavement conditions, existing subsurface conditions, groundwater conditions, and geotechnical
recommendations for design and construction of the project.
PROJECT BACKGROUND
The project is located along Old Snelling Avenue between Snelling Avenue N (TH 51) and County Road
E (CSAH 15/149) in Arden Hills, Minnesota. The project consists of reconstructing the existing street. It is
assumed that the roadway will consist of Hot Mixed Asphalt (HMA). In addition to the roadway, the project
may include construction of a storm sewer system as well as watermain and sanitary sewer work.
GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION
Subsurface Investigation
The subsurface investigation for this project was performed by Northern Technologies, LLC (NTI) of Inver
Grove Heights, Minnesota. The drilling program for the subsurface investigation and laboratory testing
program were developed by SEH geotechnical staff. The geotechnical data report (GDR) No.
19.MSP09107.000 prepared by NTI dated November 7, 2019 for the subsurface investigation is attached
to this memorandum. The subsurface investigation consisted of fifteen (15) SPT soil borings using a
hollow stem auger and standard penetration test (SPT) sampling every 2.5 feet along the existing streets
and at Freeway Park located in the southeast quadrant of the Old Snelling Avenue and County Road E
(CSAH 15) intersection. The borings terminate at a depth of 14.5 feet. Laboratory tests consist of
moisture content tests, Atterberg Limits tests, and mechanical sieve tests, and R-Value tests.
PAVEMENT CONDITIONS
Existing pavement measured during the subsurface investigation was identified as bituminous over
aggregate base in borings B-1 through B-13. Borings B-1 through B-7 and B-11 encountered bituminous
pavement under the aggregate base. Table 1 summarizes the pavement thicknesses measured at each
boring. The total pavement section (including aggregate base) thickness varies between 17 to 29 inches
and the average thickness is 24 inches.
Old Snelling Avenue Geotechnical Recommendations
October 7, 2020
Page 2
Table 1 – Pavement Thickness
SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
Fill was encountered below existing grade in all borings with the exception of Boring B-10. The fill varied
in depth from 1.5 feet to 11.5 feet below the surface. The fill was typically classified as clayey sand (SC).
Sometimes the fill is described as having trace organics, trace gravel, and/or pieces of bituminous
pavement. Underlying the fill is glacial till typically classified as clayey sand (SC) and sandy lean clay
(CL). The fines content varied between 41% to 62% for the samples tested in glacial till. Borings B-1,
through B-3 and B-5 terminate in glacial outwash typically classified as poorly graded sand (SP). The top
of the sand is between 7 to 11.5 feet below the surface. Boring B-8 encountered a layer of peat between
the fill and the glacial till at a depth of 7 to 9 feet. The peat is described as rather stiff with trace gravel
and a moisture content of 235%.
Apparent hydrocarbon odor was detected and documented at some samples in a majority of the borings
during drilling. The apparent odor was documented in the boring logs. The odor was encountered in the
samples from the fill, glacial till, and glacial outwash. This memorandum only addresses the geotechnical
recommendations for the project. It is recommended to consult with qualified personnel to provide
recommendations with respect to contaminated soil or groundwater.
GROUNDWATER CONDITIONS
Groundwater was observed at borings B-1 and B-12 during drilling operations at a depth of 14 feet below
the surface. The groundwater elevation at B-1 is 878 feet and 900 feet at B-12. It was assumed that the
groundwater at B-12 is perched and that the groundwater elevation across the site will be at the Lake
Johanna surface water elevation.
Groundwater depths recorded during drilling can be unreliable because of the short time period of the
observation. In silty, clayey, or organic soils, longer duration observations within the borehole are typically
necessary to obtain a more accurate measurement of the water table. Perched water and fluctuation of
the groundwater elevation should be expected during periods of precipitation and snow melt above clay

soils. It is recommended to control potential surface water runoff that may occur due to precipitation or
snow melt as this may impact construction and compaction of embankment soils.
ROADWAY RECOMMENDATIONS
Pavement Section
Pavement design was performed for Old Snelling Avenue N. From Table 1, the average pavement
section thickness is 24 inches with bituminous pavement under the aggregate base from borings B-1
through B-7. For Pavement design purposes, it was assumed that the proposed pavement section for Old
Snelling Avenue would be comprised of bituminous pavement over aggregate base on existing fill rather
than the existing bituminous pavement or aggregate base. It is understood that a full depth reclamation
(FDR) of the existing pavement and base will be performed. The FDR will use the recycled material as a
base for new bituminous pavement. It is recommended that the recycled material used as a base during
the FDR be in accordance with Class 5 base for recycled materials (MnDOT 3138.2.E(2)).
ESALs were estimated using traffic data from MnDOT. The traffic data and ESAL estimates are attached
to this memorandum. R-value results from the geotechnical investigation were used as part of the
pavement design. The R-value results are attached to this memorandum. The average R-value used in
the pavement design was 36 with a standard deviation of 22. Pavement design was performed using
MnPAVE-Flexible. The pavement design results are attached to this memorandum. Table 2 summarizes
the recommended pavement sections.
Table 2 – Recommended Pavement Section
WATERMAIN RECOMMENDATIONS
Watermain Pipe Backfill
Watermain segments are proposed to be installed at a nominal depth of 7 to 8 feet below finished grade
using and open cut trench. The trench is recommended to extend a minimum of 12 inches below the
bottom of the pipe.
Backfill around the pipe is recommended to conform to Select Granular Borrow (MnDOT 3149.2B.2).
Place backfill in lifts of not more than 6 inches thick from the bottom of the trench to a minimum of 12
inches from the top of the pipe and compact to a minimum 95% of the Standard Proctor maximum dry
density. Project specifications are recommended to include material testing provisions such as gradation
and Standard Proctor tests for all sources of backfill.
Trench Backfill
Excavated trench material free of organics, deleterious debris, and contamination may be suitable for
reuse as trench backfill. However, these materials may be wet and not suitable for immediate backfilling.
The material may require spreading, disking, and/or other methods to dry it out in order to meet moisture
requirements for acceptable compaction. Adequate space and time will be required at the project site to
segregate unsuitable material from the soil and conduct material drying activities. If wet excavated
material cannot be prepared for reuse as trench backfill, replacement backfill will be required. The
replacement backfill is recommended to meet the criteria of Granular Borrow (MnDOT 3149.2B.1). Place
trench backfill in loose lifts of 8 inches or less from 12 inches from the top of the pipe to the bottom of the
aggregate base. Compact the trench backfill to a minimum 95% of the Standard Proctor maximum dry

density. Project specifications are recommended to include material testing provisions such as gradation
and Standard Proctor tests for all sources of trench backfill.
Soil Correction
Soil correction is recommended for watermain in the vicinity of Boring B-8. Peat is recorded in the logs
between depths of 7 to 9 feet. A very loose layer of clayey sand (SC) underlies the peat. It is
recommended to excavate and remove all organic soils including peat as well as the very loose soil layer
below the watermain to a minimum depth of 11 feet below the ground surface and backfill with Select
Granular Borrow (MnDOT 3149.2B.2) prior to installation of the watermain. Compact the backfill to a
minimum 95% of the Standard Proctor maximum dry density.
A Type VI geotextile (MnDOT 3733) is recommended to be installed in conjunction with soil correction to
a depth below the bottom of the peat in lieu of the soil correction to a depth of 11 feet below the ground
surface.
STORM SEWER RECOMMENDATIONS
Storm sewer pipe and structures are recommended to be bedded on a minimum of 6 inches of Select
Granular Borrow (MnDOT 3149.2B.2). Structures installed deeper than 5 feet from finished grade are
recommended to be bedded on a minimum of 12 inches of Granular Borrow (MnDOT 3149.2B.2).
Backfill for proposed storm sewer pipe is recommended to conform to Select Granular Borrow (MnDOT
3149.2B.2). Place backfill in lifts of not more than 6 inches thick from the bottom of the trench to a
minimum of 6 inches from the top of the pipe. Compact the trench backfill to a minimum 95% of the
Standard Proctor maximum dry density. Project specifications are recommended to include material
testing provisions such as gradation and Standard Proctor tests for all sources of backfill.
See Watermain Recommendations section for trench backfill recommendations.
SANITARY SEWER RECOMMENDATIONS
It was assumed that sanitary sewer pipe and structures are to be installed at a depth of 10 to 12 feet
below finished grade using and open cut trench. The trench is recommended to extend a minimum of 12
inches below the bottom of the pipe.
Backfill around the pipe is recommended to conform to Select Granular Borrow (MnDOT 3149.2B.2).
Place backfill in lifts of not more than 6 inches thick from the bottom of the trench to a minimum of 12
inches from the top of the pipe and compact to a minimum 95% of the Standard Proctor maximum dry
density. Project specifications are recommended to include material testing provisions such as gradation
and Standard Proctor tests for all sources of backfill.
See Watermain Recommendations section for trench backfill recommendations.
GENERAL CONSTRUCTION CONSIDERATIONS
Depending on weather and season, dewatering may be required for subgrade and utility excavations
along the project. Project specifications are recommended to require a written Dewatering Plan to be
submitted by the contractor prior to commencing any excavation work.
Excavations are recommended to be in accordance with OSHA 29CFR Parts 1926.650 through
1926.652.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Site / Project Description
It is our understanding the project will consist of improvements to the existing Old Snelling Avenue
between County Road E and Snelling Avenue North in Arden Hills, Minnesota.
1.2 Scope of Services
The purpose of this factual report is to present a summary of our geotechnical exploration and provide
the soil conditions encountered at the project area. Our “scope of services” was limited to the
following:
1.Explore the project subsurface by means of seventeen (17) Standard Penetration Test (SPT)
borings extending to depths of approximately 14.5 feet below existing grade.
2.Conduct laboratory testing as requested by a representative of Short Elliott Hendrickson Inc.
(SEH).
3.Provide a factual geotechnical report with the results of our field and laboratory tests results.
2.0 EXPLORATION PROGRAM RESULTS
2.1 Exploration Scope
The field exploration was performed during a period of October 3 through 11, 2019 with the borings
advanced to depths of approximately 14.5 feet below the existing ground surface. Two (2) borings (SB-
16 and SB-17) were not completed at the requested of the client’s representative Short Elliot
Hendrickson Inc. (SEH) due to utility obstructions at the original boring locations. A representative of
SEH marked and surveyed the boring locations prior to mobilization.
The borings were performed by a two-person crew utilizing a CME 750 All Terrain Vehicle-mounted drill
rig. Samples were collected in general accordance with ASTM D 1586 “Standard Test Method for
Standard Penetration Testing (SPT) and Split-Barrel Sampling of Soils.”
The boreholes were backfilled with auger cuttings, or were abandoned using high solids bentonite or
neat cement grout as per appropriate local and state statutes. Minor settlement of the boreholes will
occur. Owner is responsible for final closure of the boreholes.

2.2 Subsurface Conditions
The soil profile generally consisted of bituminous pavement (generally ranging in thickness from 3.0 to
11.0 inches) overlaying apparent aggregate base (generally ranging in thickness from 8.0 to 24.0
inches). As an exception to this, Borings SB-14 and SB-15 encountered topsoil at the surface
(approximately 5.0 inches in thickness). In Borings SB-1 through SB-7 and Boring SB-11, an additional
bituminous pavement layer was encountered directly below the apparent aggregate base layer ranging
in thickness from 6.0 to 11.0 inches.
Apparent undocumented fill soils were encountered ranging in depths from approximately 1.5 to 11.5
feet below the existing grade. Generally, the undocumented fill soils consisted of clayey sand (SC), silty
sand (SM), and sandy lean clay to lean clay with sand (CL). As an exception, apparent undocumented
fill soils were not encountered at the Boring SB-10 location.
The glacial deposits were generally encountered extending to the termination depths of the borings
and consisted of clayey sand (SC), silty sand (SM), poorly graded sand (SP), and sandy lean clay (CL).
A paludal deposit generally consisted of peat (Pt) soil was encountered at the Boring SB-8 location
between depths of approximately 7.0 and 9.0 feet below existing grade.
Apparent hydrocarbon odors (detected by human perception only) were observed throughout the
project area.
Please refer to the boring logs within the appendices for a detailed description and depths of stratum at
each boring. Additional comment on the evaluation of recovered soil samples is presented within the
report attachments.
2.3 Groundwater Conditions
The drill crew observed the borings for groundwater (if any) during and at the completion of drilling
activities. Measurable groundwater was observed in two (2) of the fifteen (15) SPT borings (SB-1 and
SB-12) at a depth of approximately 14.0 feet below existing grade (approximate elevations of 877.76
and 900.23 feet). Possible perched groundwater conditions were observed at Boring SB-6 at a depth of
approximately 11.5 feet (approximately elevation 901.01 feet)
The site soils were conducive to movement of groundwater both laterally and vertically over time. The
moisture content of such soils can vary annually and per recent precipitation. Such soils and other
regional dependent conditions may produce groundwater entry of project excavations.

GEOTECHNICAL EVALUATION OF RECOVERED SOIL SAMPLES
We visually examined recovered soil samples to estimate distribution of grain sizes, plasticity,
consistency, moisture condition, color, presence of lenses and seams, and apparent geologic origin.
We then classified the soils according using the Unified Soil Classification System (ASTM D2488). A
chart describing this classification system and general notes explaining soil sampling procedures are
presented within appendices attachments.
The stratification depth lines between soil types on the logs are estimated based on the available
data. In-situ, the transition between type(s) may be distinct or gradual in either the horizontal or
vertical directions. The soil conditions have been established at our specific boring locations only.
Variations in the soil stratigraphy may occur between and around the borings, with the nature and
extent of such change not readily evident until exposed by excavation. These variations must be
properly assessed when utilizing information presented on the boring logs.
We request that you, your design team or contractors contact NTI immediately if local conditions
differ from those assumed by this report, as we would need to review how such changes impact our
recommendations. Such contact would also allow us to revise our recommendations as necessary to
account for the changed site conditions.
FIELD EXPLORATION PROCEDURES
Soil Sampling – Standard Penetration Boring:
Soil sampling was performed according to the procedures described by ASTM D-1586. Using this
procedure, a 2 inch O.D. split barrel sampler is driven into the soil by a 140 pound weight falling 30
inches. After an initial set of six inches, the number of blows required to drive the sampler an
additional 12 inches is recorded (known as the penetration resistance (i.e. “N-value”) of the soil at
the point of sampling. The N-value is an index of the relative density of cohesionless soils and an
approximation of the consistency of cohesive soils.
Soil Sampling – Power Auger Boring:
The boring(s) was/were advanced with a 6 inch nominal diameter continuous flight auger. As a
result, samples recovered from the boring are disturbed, and our determination of the depth, extend
of various stratum and layers, and relative density or consistency of the soils is approximate.
Soil Classification:
Soil samples were visually and manually classified in general conformance with ASTM D-2488 as they
were removed from the sampler(s). Representative fractions of soil samples were then sealed within
respective containers and returned to the laboratory for further examination and verification of the
field classification. In addition, select samples were submitted for laboratory tests. Individual
sample information, identification of sampling methods, method of advancement of the samples and
other pertinent information concerning the soil samples are presented on boring logs and related
report attachments.

WATER LEVEL SYMBOL
Water levels shown on the boring logs were determined at the time and under the conditions indicated. In
sand, the indicated levels can be considered relatively reliable for most site conditions. In clay soils, it is not
possible to determine the ground water level within the normal scope of a test boring investigation, except
where lenses or layers of more pervious water bearing soil are present; and then a long period of time may be
necessary to reach equilibrium. Therefore, the position of the water level symbol for cohesive or mixed soils
may not indicate the true level of the ground water table. The available water level information is given at the
bottom of the log sheet.

GROUNDWATER ISSUES
Old Snelling Avenue Roadway Improvements
Arden Hills, Minnesota
NTI Project No. 19.MSP09107.000
GROUNDWATER ISSUES
The following presents additional comment and soil specific issues related to measurement of
groundwater conditions at your project site.
Note that our groundwater measurements, or lack thereof, will vary depending on the time allowed
for equilibrium to occur in the borings. Extended observation time was not available during the
scope of the field exploration program and, therefore, groundwater measurements as noted on the
borings logs may or may not accurately reflect actual conditions at your site.
Seasonal and yearly fluctuations of the ground water level, if any, occur. Perched groundwater may
be present within sand and silt lenses bedded within cohesive soil formations. Groundwater typically
exists at depth within cohesive and cohesionless soils.
We anticipate that a system of sump pits and pumps located outside of the foundation areas would
be suitable for control if perched groundwater were to be encountered. If excavations are advanced
into a static groundwater table within an underlying granular soil layer a well point system would
likely be a more suitable method of control. NTI cautions that such seepage may be heavy and will
vary based on seasonal and annual precipitation, and ground related impacts in the vicinity of the
project.

Notice of Decision
Local Government Unit: Rice Creek Watershed District County: Ramsey

Technical Evaluation Panel Findings and Recommendations (attach if any)
Approve Approve w/Conditions Deny No TEP Recommendation
A joint application for wetland boundary/type was provided by SEH Inc. on 10/10/2019. Site visits were
attended on 10/24/2019 and 10/31/2019 by representatives from BWSR and RCWD. The TEP noted that a
another wetland boundary/type application for the same survey area was previously approved on 2/13/2019
(RCWD #18-163R) and, with the exception of Wetland 8, the wetlands boundaries delineated under the
18-163R application remained valid and accurate. The TEP found that due to recent work within Wetland 8
under RCWD After-the-Fact Permit 18-089, wetland characteristics may be masked, and recommended that
boundary adjustments should reflect the recent grading. An updated wetland boundary map was provided by
SEH Inc. on 8/19/2020. The Statute 15.99 decision timeframe was extended three times and waived by the
applicant on 6/3/2020.
LGU Decision
Approved with Conditions (specify below)1 Approved1 Denied
List Conditions: The applicant needs to submit a survey of the wetland boundary as well as gps points of the
wetland delineation in a form acceptable to the RCWD.
Decision-Maker for this Application: ☒ Staff ☐ Governing Board/Council ☐ Other:
Decision is valid for: ☒ 5 years (default) ☐ Other (specify):
1 Wetland Replacement Plan approval is not valid until BWSR confirms the withdrawal of any required wetland bank credits. For project-
specific replacement a financial assurance per MN Rule 8420.0522, Subp. 9 and evidence that all required forms have been recorded on
the title of th e property on which the replacement wetland is located must be provided to the LGU for the approval to be valid.
LGU Findings – Attach document(s) and/or insert narrative providing the basis for the LGU decision1.
☒ Attachment(s) (specify): Figure 7 by SEH Inc. dated and RCWD received 8/19/2020.
☒ Summary:
The LGU finds the wetland boundaries illustrated in the attached figure titled: Figure 7 Wetland Delineation
BWSR NOD Form - October 2019 2
Results by SEH Inc. dated and RCWD received 8/19/2020 accurate and supported by the submitted wetland
delineation for the LGU administration of the WCA.
This decision is not intended to define boundaries of MN DNR jurisdiction or regulate activities under the
jurisdiction of the MN DNR, except to the extent that MN DNR finds the decision consistent with their
requirements.
The LGU decision is valid for five years. However, the decision will cease to be valid before then, if the
Technical Evaluation Panel determines that the wetland boundary or type has changed due to natural or
artificial changes to the hydrology, vegetation, or soils of the area. The LGU finds that the wetland typing may
need to be reviewed in conjunction with any future project.
Advisory Note:
A Wetland Replacement Plan application must include a statement from the MnDNR, or the applicant's
licensed professional, based on MnDNR database review, as to the potential presence of an endangered or
threatened species or potential impact to a rare natural community (Minn. Rules 8420.0330, subp. 3.A(5);
8420.0525). Applicants should initiate this review early.
1 Findings must consider any TEP recommendations.

Public Informational Meeting - Open House
Old Snelling Avenue and County Road E Improvements
Dear Property Owner:
The Arden Hills City Council has authorized the preparation of a feasibility study as a first step in
considering proposed improvements to Old Snelling Avenue. A project location map is provided on the
back of this page. The following potential improvements are being considered at this time:
Reconstruction of Old Snelling Avenue from County Road E to Highway 51;
Construction of a single lane roundabout at the intersection of County Road E and Old Snelling
Avenue in partnership with Ramsey County;
Construction of a pedestrian trail along Old Snelling Avenue from County Road E to Highway 51;
Replacement of watermain, sanitary sewer, and storm sewer based on a condition assessment
currently underway.
City staff will be hosting a public informational meeting to provide information on the project and to solicit
your input on the proposed improvements. This meeting will be an open house format. You may attend
the meeting anytime between 4:30 PM and 7:00 PM at your convenience to discuss the project with City
staff.

It is important to note that this project may result in an assessment to properties with driveway access
directly onto Old Snelling Avenue / Old Highway 10. An additional public informational meeting will be
conducted at a future date if the City Council determines that the project should proceed to the design
phase.
If you have any questions or cannot attend the open house meeting, please feel free to contact me at

Project Update
OLD SNELLING AVENUE AND COUNTY ROAD E IMPROVEMENTS
RESCHEUDLED TO 2022 CONSTRUCTION SEASON
November 4, 2019
The City of Arden Hills and Ramsey County are in the early stages of planning for roadway
improvements along Old Snelling Avenue and County Road E. The City’s Capital Improvement
Plan identifies improvements to Old Snelling Avenue from County Road E to Highway 51 to
address deteriorated pavement conditions. The City’s capital plan and County’s transportation
improvement program also identify reconstruction of the intersection at County Road E and Old
Snelling Avenue to improve safety and traffic operations.
An open house informational meeting for the project was held on October 17, 2019 to provide an
opportunity for residents to review initial concept drawings and provide input for the project.
The open house meeting was well attended by approximately 50 people providing many valuable
questions and comments.
This project update is being sent to residents near the project area to provide information
regarding the anticipated project schedule. The project was initially planned for construction in
the 2020 or 2021 time frame. However, Ramsey County will be reconstructing Lexington
Avenue between County Road E and I-694 in 2021. Major improvements to Old Snelling
Avenue and County Road E during the same time line as construction along Lexington Avenue
would be difficult for local traffic, particularly given current road work underway along I-35W.
The Old Snelling Avenue project has been rescheduled for the 2022 construction season. This
schedule will allow additional time for planning the project and additional opportunity for public
input during the design process. The City and County will work together to align the proposed
improvements at the intersection of Old Snelling Avenue and County Road E on this same
construction schedule.
All residents are encouraged to visit the project website to stay updated on the project. The
project page is located at www.cityofardenhills.org/constructionprojects. If you have additional
questions, please contact the City Public Works Department at 651-792-7800.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: December 21, 2020
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Dave Perrault, City Administrator
SUBJECT: Council Participation and Hiring Process
Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source:
N/A N/A N/A
For Council Consideration
The Council may provide further direction on the Council’s role in the interview process during
the recruitment process of a new employee.
Background
The Personnel Committee requested the City Council discuss the role of the Council during the
recruitment process for new employees, specifically whether or not the Council should sit in on
interviews. The City is a Plan A city, which means Council retains ultimate authority when it
comes to the hiring process, although some parts are delegated to staff. The current process is
staff will lay out a proposed hiring process when requesting authorization to begin the
recruitment process, an example of the recent search for a Communications Coordinator is
attached (see Attachment A). Typically, the Council is only involved in the interview process for
Department Head level and above positions; however, the Council could pass a policy that would
outline when and how Council will be involved in the interview process or Council could amend
proposed authorizations to post on a case-by-case basis.
The most recently approved hiring and termination policy is attached (see Attachment B); should
Council want to formally amend that policy and add language regarding Council attending hiring
interviews, Council should provide direction on:
• What is its role in the interview?
o Official scorer or just to listen
Page 2 of 2
• What positions will Council be involved in interviewing?
o Department Head and above, supervisory, as needed, all positions
• Which member(s) of the Council will attend?
o A member of the Personnel Committee, the respective liaison to that function, the
Mayor

MEMORANDUM
CITY OF ARDEN HILLS
HIRING AND TERMINATION AUTHORITY
This document will establish a process for the hiring and termination of employees and the
City Administrator, Personnel Committee, and City Council’s respective roles in that
process.
The City of Arden Hills is organized as a “Statutory A” City, meaning all personnel
decisions must be ultimately approved by the City Council.
To ensure efficiency in operations and timely decision making, the City Council hereby
authorizes the City Administrator to undertake the selection process and make hiring,
decisions for seasonal employment positions that have been budgeted for in the current
budget year, and to implement employee evaluation, discipline and/or termination decisions.
All other personnel decisions must be first brought forward to the Personnel Committee and
the full City Council for direction and formal approvals, unless otherwise directed by the
City Council.
It is expected the City Administrator will keep the Personnel Committee informed on
relevant personnel issues, and will defer decisions per the Personnel Committee’s, or City
Council’s, request or direction.
Purpose
By instituting this procedure, it will help ensure City operations continue with fewer
disruptions, and aid in making sure positions are filled in a timely manner. Furthermore, it
outlines the roles of the City Administrator, Personnel Committee, and City Council in the
hiring, employee evaluation and termination process.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: December 21, 2020
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Dave Perrault, City Administrator
SUBJECT: Accrual Payouts Upon Employee Separation
Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source:
N/A N/A N/A
For Council Consideration
The Council may consider giving staff further direction on refining the City’s policy surrounding
accrual payments when an employee separates from the City.
Background
The City’s current policy surrounding the payout of accrued Paid Time Off (PTO), Flex Time,
and Comp Time is that any accrued time shall be converted to cash and paid directly into an
employee’s Health Care Savings Plan (HCSP); these payouts are capped at their respective
maximums in the Personnel Policy at 240 hours for PTO, 40 hours for Comp Time, and 80 hours
for Flex Time. The HCSP is very limited in scope and can only be used for reimbursement of
medical expenses following the separation from public service. As a result, an employee leaving
the City can only use their respective payouts from accrued balances for medical related
expenses. This does not give the employee much flexibility in-terms of access to those dollars,
and restricts access to funds if needed for other purposes. It is believed this policy was originally
implemented as a tool to save the City from paying employer taxes on high leave balances.
While this reason is understandable, the Council may want to consider amending its policy and
allow for either a direct payment to employees of accrued balances and/or giving employees the
option of a payout upon separation into a deferred compensation account (457). While this would
result in employer taxes when an employee separates, the effect is not significant to the budget;
for example, an employee earning $30 per hour with 100 hours of PTO accrued would be paid
$3,000 (less normal taxes), and the City would be responsible for approximately $229.50 in
employer taxes (note the City would be paying the $3,000 to the employee regardless, the
Page 2 of 2
$229.50 is the additional employer expense). While it varies from city to city, the trend for cities
is to offer some form of payout to the employee and not deposit funds into an HCSP account.
A few logistics still need to be worked out as any changes to the current model need to be
approved by HCSP, but if Council is supportive staff will work on getting language to Council
for approval at their first meeting in January. The language, if feasible, would give employees
options, for example, choosing between a payment to a deferred compensation account or a cash
payout. Note, any contradicting language in the Union’s contract would supersede an update to
the Personnel Policy for Union employees, but changes to the contract could be considered in
2021 as it is a negotiation year for the contract.
Budget Impact
Although the City would incur additional expenses, the amount incurred would not significantly
impact the budget.
