1.AGENDA ITEMS
A.Tony Schmidt Park Concerns
City Administrator Perrault stated the City of Arden Hills City Council expressed concerns to
Ramsey County Commissioner Nicole Frethem about pedestrian and bicycle access to Tony
Schmidt Regional Park. Following an exchange of letters, the City Council invited Commissioner
Frethem to attend a work session to have a discussion. It was noted that Ramey County Deputies
that provide police protection to the City of Arden Hills spend approximately 25 percent of their
time on Lake Johanna Boulevard as it historically has an issue with speed and other dangerous
driving conditions. The County has recently issued an RFP for a corridor study, which includes
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – APRIL 19, 2021 2
Lake Johanna Boulevard. This corridor study would evaluate potential projects along the road. He
noted Commissioner Nicole Frethem and Ramsey County Public Works Director Ted Schoenecker
were present at this meeting.
Councilmember Holmes requested further information on the corridor study.
Ramsey County Commissioner Nicole Frethem reported the study was budgeted for and would
be completed in 2021.
Ramsey County Public Works Director Ted Schoenecker discussed the corridor study and
noted the County had an RFP out at this time. He explained the study would take a look at Lake
Johana Boulevard from County Road D to Old Snelling Avenue with the primary focus being o n
pedestrian and bike facilities, and that it would likely be a six month process.
Councilmember Holmes asked if there would be any community engagement and questioned
what the timeline would be for the study.
Ramsey County Public Works Director Schoenecker indicated a preferred option would be
created in the next six months and then the County would begin investigating preliminary costs.
The County would then work with the City to work within their program, and to pursue federal
and state funding.
Councilmember Holden inquired if funding would be sought for trails or the entire roadway.
Ramsey County Public Works Director Schoenecker stated this would depend on the findings
within the corridor study. He noted there was different funding from the Met Council for trails and
roadways. He commented further on how the corridor project would be worked into the County’s
five-year plan.
Councilmember Holden questioned if any striping would be done or if all work on the corridor
would cease until the study was completed.
Ramsey County Public Works Director Schoenecker reported the striping was looked at by the
County and noted the traffic lanes were originally 12 feet wide and these were restriped to 11 feet.
Councilmember Holden stated she appreciated the work the County would be doing, but noted
this project was a priority for the City and feared the County would pick and choose what would
be done in the community. She explained the City was focused on safety. She asked if it was
optional for the City to participate in the cost share program.
Ramsey County Commissioner Frethem reported it was not optional. She explained completing
the study was the first step to make a comprehensive improvement to the infrastructure. She
commented further on the corridor study that would be completed and described how this study
would create a preferred option for the community. She stated once the plan was done, the
County would have to decide how to fund the improvements.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – APRIL 19, 2021 3
Councilmember Holden anticipated the residents living in the new apartments by Byerly’s would
want to visit Lake Johanna. She recommended the County take this into consideration within the
corridor study.
Ramsey County Public Works Director Schoenecker indicated the study would be completed to
Old Snelling Avenue. He reported this was the priority area.
Ramsey County Commissioner Frethem stated she understood the demand for Lake Johanna
was increasing because this was a beautiful park. She indicated this was a priority for the County.
Councilmember McClung requested clarification on the area of focus for the study. He
encouraged the County to consider the broader area and what draws people to the corridor, along
with the regional park.
Ramsey County Public Works Director Schoenecker reported the corridor study would be on
Lake Johanna Boulevard from County Road D to Old Snelling Avenue. He stated development in
the area would be taken into consideration.
Councilmember McClung thanked the County for being at this meeting and speaking with the
Council. He reported this corridor was a longstanding concern for the City and its residents. He
looked forward to seeing this corridor addressed for safety reasons. He discussed the amount of
time Ramsey County Deputies were spending on Lake Johanna Boulevard and he hoped the
improvements to the corridor would assist in addressing this concern. He stated he would rather
have t he deputies patrolling the City than so heavily focused on the Lake Johanna corridor. He
stressed again how important the safety along this corridor was to the City.
Mayor Grant explained he also read the City was spending 25% of its patrol resources on this
corridor. He encouraged the County to have a design that focuses on safety with safe access to the
park for both pedestrians and vehicles. He understood the City would be participating on this
project. He reported in the documentation to the City, in the letter dated January 7, 2021, it was
noted the County would lead the construction of Lexington Avenue from County Road E to I-694
in 2022. He stated this project has been pushed back several times. He questioned if this project
would really be complet ed in 2022.
Ramsey County Public Works Director Schoenecker reported this project would be done in
2022. It was noted this project would be put out for bid in the September/October timeframe in
order to begin the project next spring.
Mayor Grant asked if the County would be relying on any outside funding for the Lexington
Avenue project.
Ramsey County Public Works Director Schoenecker stated the County would not be relying on
any outside funding.
Mayor Grant questioned what members from Arden Hills would be assisting with the corridor
study.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – APRIL 19, 2021 4
Ramsey County Public Works Director Schoenecker explained as part of selecting the
consultants for the corridor study, the County has two representatives from Arden Hills on the
selection committee. These two individuals were David Swearingen and Jordan Horesch from HR
Green.
Councilmember Scott recommended the County take into consideration the extra pressure that
would be placed on Lexington Avenue during the reconstruction project.
Councilmember Holden asked when the road would be marked for this season.
Ramsey County Public Works Director Schoenecker stated this would be completed after the
spring sweeping.
Councilmember Holden commented she believed Councilmember McClung’s question was never
answered. She indicated the City needs a commitment from the County Commissioner to fight for
the next step.
Ramsey County Commissioner Frethem reported she was extremely committed to moving this
project forward. She noted she met with an Arden Hills resident in February of 2020 who shared
significant concerns about this issue. She indicated from that time, she has been in contact with the
Public Works Director and state legislators.
Councilmember McClung thanked Commissioner Frethem for her statement. He wanted to be
assured that all parties come together with a goal that once the study was completed, that the City
and County would move aggressively to fix the problems along the corridor once and for all. He
explained this project impacted the safety off all those living in Arden Hills. He stated he looked
forward to working with the County once the study was done.
Mayor Grant commented there was a trail that crosses the street at County Road E up from the
lake. He indicated he was told that crosswalk could not be painted this year. He noted the City
hires the County to do its painting. He asked if this crosswalk was being rolled into this study.
Interim Public Works Director Swearingen explained he discussed this matter with Scott
Merrick.
Further discussion ensued regarding the crosswalk at County Road E.
Ramsey County Public Works Director Schoenecker requested he be allowed to follow up with
Scott Merrick and noted he would report back to the City Administrator regarding this matter.
Councilmember Holden recommended Ramsey County Commissioner Frethem make this
crosswalk a priority. She stated she did not want peoples lives at risk this summer because the
crosswalk was not painted.
Ramsey County Commissioner Frethem stated she would follow up with the Council noting if
there was a crosswalk that needs to be painted at this time, it should not be delayed because of the
study.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – APRIL 19, 2021 5
Mayor Grant thanked Ramsey County Commissioner Frethem and Ramsey County Public Works
Director Schoenecker for being in attendance at the meeting. He stated the City Council looks
forward to working with the County on this Lake Johanna Boulevard corridor project.
B. Amendments to Development Agreement and Stormwater and Recreational
Facilities Operation and Maintenance Agreement for Arden Hills Senior Housing
Planning Consultant Kansier stated at its July 22, 2019, the City Council approved Planning
Case 19-002 for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment, Rezoning, Conditional Use Permit,
Preliminary Plat, and Site Plan Review for Summit Develo pment. Summit Development is
proposing to construct a three story, 120-unit senior housing building which will include
independent living, assisted living, memory care and skilled nursing. On March 9, 2020, the City
Council approved the final plat and Development and PUD Agreement for this development. The
plat was recorded in August, 2020, but construction has been delayed due to COVID. The PUD
and CUP approvals expire on June 1, 2021, unless the City Council approves an extension or a
building permits app lication has been submitted.
Planning Consultant Kansier reported after the agreements were approved in March, 2020,
Summit Development, the original developer, transferred the project to Trident Development. This
requires an amendment to the original Development and PUD Agreement to recognize the change
in developers. As part of the original approval, the developer agreed to construct an 8-foot-wide
bituminous trail with senior oriented workout stations. Each station will have senior oriented
fitness equipment. The proposed trail is connected to the trail along Snelling Avenue via a trail
along Parkshore Drive, but the nearest connection to the west is approximately ¼ mile away.
Because of this, the original agreement required the developer to maintain the interior trail and
workout stations until a future connection could be made.
Planning Consultant Kansier explained Trident Development is requesting a change to this
provision. The main motivation behind this request is insurability. Staff explained Trident
Development has proposed two options. Option 1 includes a one-time, upfront payment of
$100,000 to the City. In exchange, the inspection, maintenance, and repair of public trails and
exercise equipment located on city owned land would be the City’s responsibility. The developer
would continue to maintain stormwater pond and fire lane. This is the developer’s preferred
option. Option 2 would modify the agreement to shift the inspection, repair, and maintenance
responsibilities for the public trails and exercise equipment located on city-owned land, back to the
city. The developer would provide an annual payment to the City of up to $5,000 to cover the
costs of this maintenance.
Planning Consultant Kansier requested the Council discuss these options and provide staff with
direction on how to proceed.
Trident Development Vice President Patrick Brama explained he believed construction would
start at the end of May. He indicated his project would meet a great need in the community and he
was excited to be a part of this neighborhood. He commented further on the amendments he was
proposing to the Development Agreement. He reviewed the layout of the development as a whole
and noted where the two trail segments would be located. He noted the portions of the project he
was still willing to complete, but asked that the City take on the long term maintenance of the trail.
He reported this was becoming an insurability concern. He stated he would be willing to make a
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – APRIL 19, 2021 6
$100,000 up front payment for the trail maintenance, or would be willing to make a $5,000
payment to the City annually to cover maintenance costs. He explained he preferred the first
option.
Councilmember Holden asked if Option 2 was up to $5,000 or $5,000 each year.
Planning Consultant Kansier stated this was a good question and noted she would have to
clarify this number with Mr. Brama. She recommended if the Council chose this option, the
amount should be identified and clarified as $5,000 per year.
Councilmember Holden questioned how often a trail has to be fogged, striped, and reclaimed.
Interim Public Works Director Swearingen reported the trail would not have to be reclaimed
for at least 20 to 30 years. He estimated the trail would be fog sealed after the first three years,
and then every five to seven years following that with some crack sealing.
Councilmember Holden inquired what the cost was to complete this work.
Interim Public Works Director Swearingen discussed the JPA the City was a part of with the
City of Coon Rapids and noted the City receives very competitive rates for this type of work. He
noted it was fairly reasonable to maintain trails.
Councilmember Holden asked how often playground equipment in Arden Hills was replaced.
Interim Public Works Director Swearingen indicated routine playground inspections were
completed in the summer months at least once a month. He noted the equipment itself was
replaced every 20 years.
Councilmember Holden questioned if the stormwater pond on Outlot A would be maintained by
the developer.
Interim Public Works Director Swearingen reported this was the case, noting the entire storm
system would be maintained by the developer.
Councilmember Holden indicated this stormwater pond would have to be dredged and cleaned
every so many years. She asked if the developer would be allowed to bring heavy equipment onto
this land to dredge the stormwater pond. She asked if any damage were to occur to City property
if the developer would be responsible. She recommended this matter be addressed within the
Development Agreement.
Interim Public Works Director Swearingen commented this type of work would require a right
of way permit and if any damages were to occur, the developer would be responsible.
Councilmember Holden asked if benches were required along the trail.
Mr. Brama stated he had not pursued benches, but noted this was something that could be added.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – APRIL 19, 2021 7
Councilmember Holden inquired who would be picking out the equipment for the park.
Interim Public Works Director Swearingen reported he was not sure, but noted the City would
like to have some input on the quality of the equipment that was put in place.
Mayor Grant commented it was his understanding the equipment that would be selected would be
more appropriate for seniors. He then asked how the Council wanted to address the changes to the
stormwater, recreation and equipment maintenance agreement.
Councilmember Holden stated once the City takes the $100,000 from the developer, the City
would not have to worry about the relationship between the two parties. For this reason, she
supported the City taking $100,000 with the caveat benches have to be included on the site plan
and the City has to approve the recreational equipment.
Councilmember Scott explained he supported Option 1 as well. He recommended that the
stormwater requirements be added to the language for Option 2.
Councilmember McClung asked if the developer would be responsible for the construction and
the capital cost of putting in the two trail segments, along with the benches and recreational
equipment.
Planning Consultant Kansier reported this was the correct. She noted this was included in the
original Development Agreement and this would not be changing.
Councilmember McClung explained he supported Option 1 with the understanding benches
would be included on the two trail segments. He also wanted the City to sign off on the equipment
that was installed.
Mayor Grant asked if it was the intent that this park would be used during the non-winter
months, or would the City be plowing the trails.
Councilmember Holden indicated this was a City decision that did not have to be discussed this
evening.
Further discussion ensued regarding the length of the proposed trail segments, along with the cost
to replace the trails.
Councilmember Holden encouraged the Council to consider if $100,000 would be enough to
cover the cost to replace the trail in 20 years. She questioned if the City should consider asking for
$125,000 in order to cover the maintenance and replacement of the trail.
Mayor Grant asked if Council was willing to make a change to the existing agreement.
Councilmember Holden supported a change going with Option 1.
Councilmember Scott and Councilmember McClung supported making a change with Option
1.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – APRIL 19, 2021 8
Councilmember Holmes supported Option 1.
Mayor Grant supported making a change to the agreement noting he preferred Option 1 as well,
although he feared the $100,000 payment was a little light given the expense to maintain and
replace trails. He questioned if the Council wanted to make an adjustment in the lump sum amount.
Councilmember Holden suggested the Council consider a lump sum in the amount of $125,000.
Councilmember Holmes stated she would like to hear from Mr. Swearingen on what amount was
reasonable.
Interim Public Works Director Swearingen commented this was difficult to say without looking
at all of the trail details. He indicated he would have to convert surface area and volume into
tonnage, and the tonnage into the cost per unit. He explained it would be difficult for him to
answer Councilmember Holmes question without doing these calculations.
Councilmember Holmes asked if the Council wanted to allow Mr. Swearingen some time to
complete these calculations prior to making a decision on the lump sum amount that should be paid
by the developer, or if $100,000 was reasonable.
Councilmember Holden questioned how staff would determine what the cost of asphalt would be
in 30 years. She indicated this would be complex.
Interim Public Works Director Swearingen commented after running very brief numbers, the
$100,000 does seem reasonable, but explained he did not know what the price of asphalt would be
10, 20 or 30 years from now.
Councilmember McClung stated he would like to better understand the maintenance expenses
and the cost to replace the trail. He indicated if staff believed $100,000 would cover this for the
next 20 years, he would support this lump sum amount. He questioned what the value of the
recreational equipment would be for the six stations.
Mr. Brama explained he had been talking to Minnesota Playground for this project and noted the
quality of the equipment would be the same as the playground equipment used by the City. He
estimated the value of the equipment to be $50,000.
Councilmember Holden suggested the Council consider a lump sum of $125,000 given the
responsibility the City would be assuming for this project.
Councilmember Scott discussed the present value of $100,000 today versus $5,000 each year for
20 years. For this reason, he supported Option 1 so long as it included benches.
Mayor Grant stated given the cost of the equipment and the trail he would like to see the City
receive a lump sum of $125,000.
Councilmember Holmes indicated she would like to hear from the developer on how they came
up with the $100,000 lump sum amount and if they would be willing to go up to $125,000.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – APRIL 19, 2021 9
Mr. Brama explained if the City were to invest the $100,000 lump sum payment for 20 years, the
City would have close to $150,000 over time. He reported he has been working on this project
and the agreement for quite some time. He indicated he could bring this new amount back to his
partners and would discuss the matter further. He stated he could not make any promises at this
meeting.
Councilmember Holmes stated based on the comments of the developer, she believed $100,000
was appropriate.
Councilmember McClung supported a lump sum payment of $125,000.
Councilmember Scott noted he supported a payment of $100,000 with the benches.
Mayor Grant encouraged Mr. Brama to take the $125,000 lump sum amount back to his partners
and discuss this option further.
Councilmember Holden asked when the trail would get turned over to the City. It was her hope
this would occur when the project was complete.
Planning Consultant Kansier explained the City would not take over the trail until the
improvements were completed and accepted by the City. She noted a two year warranty period
would be put in place for the trail.
Councilmember Holden recommended the trail warranty be written into the Development
Agreement.
C. Shoreland Ordinance Amendment – Accessory Structure Size within the
Ordinary High Water Level Setback
Planning Consultant Kansier stated in September of 2020, Kye Samuelson requested a Variance
in or der to construct an accessory structure near the shoreline of 3493 Siems Court within the
Shore Impact Zone of Lake Johanna. The Applicant requested a variance to build a 120 square
foot accessory storage structure that encroached eighteen inches into the Shore Impact Zone of
Lake Johanna.
Planning Consultant Kansier reported at its October 7, 2020 meeting, the Planning Commission
voted to table the request to allow the Applicant to revise their plans to better conform to the
Shoreland Ordinance provisions. The Applicant took the Planning Commissions comments under
consideration and submitted revised plans for a smaller structure that would not encroach into the
Shore Impact Zone. The Applicant then proposed to construct an accessory structure that would
be nine and a half feet tall and ninety-three and a half square feet in size. However, the proposed
structure still required a variance due to the proposed height and area that exceeded current
ordinance standards. At its December 9, 2020 meeting the Planning Commission reviewed and
discussed the updated application. The Planning Commission voted 4-3 to approve the planning
case.
Planning Consultant Kansier explained at its January 11, 2021 meeting the City Council
reviewed Planning Case 20-017. The City Council voted unanimously to table this planning case to
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – APRIL 19, 2021 10
allow them to review the existing OHWL accessory structure size standards. The Applicant signed
a 6-month Extension Form, requiring the City Council to take action on the variance request by
July 12, 2021. At its February 16, 2021 meeting the City Council discussed increasing the
permitted size of accessory structures within the Ordinary High Water Level (OHWL) setback.
The City Council directed staff to draft ordinance language to increase the size of accessory
structures located within the OHWL. The City Council did not support increase the height of
accessory structures located within the OHWL. Staff has since drafted ordinance language and has
sent the language to the DNR for review. Staff reviewed the proposed language with the Council
and requested feedback on how to proceed with the ordinance.
Councilmember Scott stated he was comfortable with the changes. He noted he would be willing
to raise the maximum height from eight feet to nine feet.
Councilmember McClung commented he could support the language proposed by staff.
Councilmember Holmes indicated she supported the language as well.
Councilmember Holden and Mayor Grant both supported the language as proposed by staff.
D. 2021 Public Works In-House Paving Project
Interim Public Works Director Swearingen stated the Public Works Department is prepared to
continue in-house paving work if directed by the Council. In 2019, Public Works paved Oak
Avenue and in 2020 they paved Norma Ave, Dawn Circle, Eide Circle, and Indian Oaks Circle. It
was noted two Public Works employees recently completed a week-long training course for paving
operations and the current staff has sufficient experience operating paving equipment to continue
smaller street overlay projects.
Interim Public Works Director Swearingen reviewed pavement condition ratings of the city
street system and identified potential resurfacing projects if the Council wishes to continue
providing overlays by the Public Works Department. A map depicting potential project areas was
reviewed with the Council along with the current pavement condition rating of each proposed
segment. Staff discussed the budget impact of the proposed work, reviewed a proposed timeline,
and requested direction from the Council on how to proceed.
Councilmember Holden asked if all five streets would be completed at the same time.
Interim Public Works Director Swearingen reviewed the street that was recommended for mill
and overlay, which included Fairview Avenue.
Councilmember Holden discussed the cost of the rental equipment, which totaled $28,000.
Interim Public Works Director Swearingen reported this was the estimated cost.
Mayor Grant questioned if Fairview Avenue and Pascal could be completed in 2021.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – APRIL 19, 2021 11
Interim Public Works Director Swearingen commented this could be a good addition to this
project. He noted this segment was one-third the size of Fairview Avenue and would be within the
City’s capacity to complete in 2021.
Councilmember McClung questioned what the capacity of the crew was for summer street
paving projects. He noted he liked the idea that Fairview would be redone, along with Pascal if this
was an easy addition. He asked if Karth Lake Circle could be added as well.
Interim Public Works Director Swearingen stated this was a good question. He noted he was
basing this years project off of the amount of work that was done in 2020. He explained just over
1100 tons of asphalt was put down last year. He indicated Fairview Avenue alone was 520 tons
and Pascal was another 150 tons. He explained Karth Lake Circle would be 570 tons. He did not
recommend adding Karth Lake Circle to the Fairview Avenue mill and overlay project.
Councilmember Holden commented it would be nice to have Fairview Avenue co mpleted. She
inquired if Karth Lake Circle could last another year without being repaved.
Interim Public Works Director Swearingen reported after viewing Karth Lake Circle he
believed this pavement was past the point of a mill and overlay. He commented further on the
street reconstruction project being planned for the Karth Lake area.
Councilmember Scott stated he would be hesitant with overtasking staff this summer on paving
projects. He recommended only Fairview Avenue being completed this summer.
Mayor Grant supported Fairview Avenue and Pascal being completed if the equipment can be
moved from one location to the other.
Councilmember McClung asked if after the pavement rating information was provided to staff, if
staff would support paving Karth Lake Circle this summer.
Interim Public Works Director Swearingen stated he wouldn’t know how to answer this until
the pavement rating information was provided to staff. He reiterated that from visual inspection,
he believed Karth Lake Circle was beyond the point of a mill and overlay. In addition, he noted the
timing on the survey information may push back the ability to complete Karth Lake Circle.
Councilmember McClung explained he would support the completion of Fairview Avenue and
Pascal.
Interim Public Works Director Swearingen reported staff would continue to monitor Karth
Lake Circle and noted it would be completed in 2022.
Councilmember Holden asked if Karth Lake Circle could be completed in September or October
of this year versus June or July.
Interim Public Works Director Swearingen stated he did not want to rush the work plan. He
commented he could present a second work plan to the Council in July if the Council wanted to
consider paving Karth Lake Circle.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – APRIL 19, 2021 12
Councilmember Holmes supported the City completing Fairview Avenue and Pascal with further
consideration of Karth Lake Circle later this summer or early fall.
Council consensus was to direct staff to move forward with the mill and overlay of Fairview
Avenue and Pascal, noting there was interest to consider Karth Lake Circle later this summer.
E. Clean-up Day Discussion
City Administrator Perrault stated t he Clean-up Day effort was being led by the previous City
Planner who has since left the City, a previous memo on Clean-up Day was reviewed with the
Council. Council’s direction at the time was to postpone a Clean-up Day as it was not clear how
COVID-19 would impact the event. Staff was seeking direction on whether or not Council would
like to consider an event in the fall of 2021. If Council wants staff to move forward, more
information will be brought forward to Council for future discussion. However, given staffing
resources and previous options presented by Planning staff, staff would likely recommend utilizing
Green Lights Recycling in Blaine, similar to the cities of Blaine, Anoka, Fridley and Spring Lake
Park. Staff then provided an update on recycling duties and requested feedback on how to proceed
with the Clean-up Day.
Councilmember McClung stated in the last month and a half he has had three residents contact
him asking about a Clean-up Day. He noted these residents encouraged the City to provide
residents with an option this year. He supported the City working with Green Lights Recycling to
provide a Clean-up Day in Arden Hills.
Councilmember Scott agreed stating residents were swimming in unwanted items. He supported
the City holding a Clean-up Day with Green Lights Recycling.
Councilmember Holmes indicated this was a practical matter and she believed Green Lights
Recycling was the best option for the City. She recommended a Clean-up Day be pursued with
this organization.
Councilmember Holden supported the City pursuing a Clean-up Day with Green Lights
Recycling.
Mayor Grant recommended City staff speak with Green Lights Recycling about a Clean-up Day
in Arden Hills. He requested staff track how many people attend this event.
F. COVID-19 and City Operations Discussion
City Administrator Perrault stated since March of last year, the City has been operating under
COVID-19 related guidelines, which include limited staff at City Hall, closing City Hall to the
public, and altered field operations. Staff is seeking Council’s direction on whether it would like to
make any changes to current operations, or keep with the status quo. It should be noted that there
is no right answer for how other cities are handling their COVID mitigation measures, some cities
never closed while some remain closed like Arden Hills, and many are in the middle. The Personnel
Committee did discuss this in late March, and given that Minnesota remains one of the states with
higher rates of infection, and the numbers do not appear to be drastically improving, the Personnel
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – APRIL 19, 2021 13
Committee is recommending the status quo for ongoing operations. The City’s mitigation
measures were discussed in further detail with the Council and it was noted the Personnel
Committee was not recommending any changes at this time. We are still waiting on guidance from
the State regarding usage of the additional stimulus money that was passed by the Federal
Government. When we have guidance, another discussion will be brought forward to Council for
consideration on how to utilize those funds.
Mayor Grant reported Ramsey County employees were a Level 1 in priority. He noted it was his
understanding an invitation was sent out to all City staff offering vaccinations on April 13, 2021.
He stated he wanted to make Council aware of the fact all City staff was invited to be vaccinated.
Councilmember Holmes commented City Hall is closed to the general public. She explained there
was 50% of the staff still working at City Hall. She asked why City Hall was closed to the general
public.
Mayor Grant reported the Council wanted to protect staff and the general public. He indicated
things seem to be working under the current staffing model. He noted this was a fluid situation
and as more people get vaccinated, maybe Minnesota will not be on the list of hot spots.
Councilmember Holmes discussed the summer hours and explained even though people were
working from home, they were still working. She suggested the Council consider summer hours,
because employees were still working. She indicated she was uncertain how this would impact the
Public Works Department.
Interim Public Works Director Swearingen commented there is a benefit to having longer hours
during the week for the Public Works crews, especially during paving operations. He indicated his
crews get more work done during those four days and Fridays are used to clean and reset
equipment.
Councilmember Holden indicated the Council could initiate summer hours at any time. She
recommended the Council wait on this for 30 days until further information was provided from the
governor.
Further discussion ensued regarding how the summer hours impacted the public.
Councilmember Scott indicated he was very anxious to get back to normal as quickly as possible.
He stated the more people that get vaccinated the more things will start to open up. However, he
noted the numbers were going in the wrong direction at this time. For this reason, he
recommended the staffing model remain as is, with City Hall closed to the public with no summer
hours in order to have staff available to the public on Friday afternoons.
Mayor Grant commented on the rate people were being vaccinated and noted regulations could
change in the next 30 days. He asked what the Public Works Department would prefer to do this
summer.
Interim Public Works Director Swearingen indicated he would prefer to have his department
work four nine-hour days Monday through Thursday and then have a shorter day on Friday.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – APRIL 19, 2021 14
Councilmember Holden asked how many seasonal workers would be hired for this summer.
Interim Public Works Director Swearingen explained he would be hiring three to five seasonal
workers.
Councilmember Holden commented she was trying to understand how a nine-hour day was
better when the City received a lot of complaints that public works employees weren’t starting the
day right away, or were heading in early.
Interim Public Works Director Swearingen discussed how the split shifts were handled at the
beginning of COVID-19 and noted this was where some of the issues stemmed from. He
explained how the new schedule created only a one hour overlap.
Mayor Grant recommended this issue go back to the Personal Committee for further discussion.
The Council supported this suggestion. At this time City Hall would remain closed with no
summer hours.
G. Food Truck Ordinance Discussion
City Administrator Perrault stated the City Council recently requested to have a discussion on
the City’s Food Truck Ordinance. Staff explained tonight’s discussion is meant to be a preliminary
overview and receive direction on any items Council would like to consider or change, those items
will then be brought back for future discussion. Staff provided a verbal update on applicable issues
that have come to light over the past few weeks regarding food truck operations in the City.
Councilmember Scott commented he was at a recent private event that had a food truck parked
on the City street. He indicated he was not in favor of changing the City ordinance at this time.
Councilmember Holmes stated she feared the existing ordinance was ambiguous. She commented
on the current language noting the general public was not supposed to be able to purchase from
food trucks at private properties. She suggested this language be changed to provide more clarity.
Councilmember McClung indicated this was correct, but commented further on how food trucks
were used to cater private events. He was of the opinion that if the City has an ordinance, the
ordinance should be enforced. He explained the food truck that has been operating in Arden Hills
has plans to have more “private parties” in the community. He noted he has heard from residents
on both sides of this issue. He suggested the ordinance be amended to make this use more
permissive.
Councilmember Holmes commented she drove by the food truck activity last Friday and she did
not believe it was a problem at all. She noted the food truck was in the driveway and the neighbors
were in the residence. She reported the neighborhood was having fun and it was not a nuisance.
She stated she would like to know what the complaints have been.
Councilmember Holden stated she received an email from the City Administrator complaining
about food trucks in a certain area of the City.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – APRIL 19, 2021 15
Councilmember Holmes indicated she received this email but she would like to know what the
complaints were.
Councilmember Holden feared that the City was pitting neighbor against neighbor, which wasn’t
a healthy thing. She noted she agreed with Councilmember McClung that if an ordinance was in
place, it should be enforced. She indicated she would like to see food trucks regulated more like
garage sales. She commented this would then allow residents to have food trucks only so many
times a year. She discussed how food trucks could be harming local businesses and restaurants.
Councilmember Scott stated he agreed with Councilmember Holden. He noted the food trucks
do not represent Arden Hills businesses. He indicated the food services in Arden Hills have had a
very tough year. He explained he would rather see local businesses catering neighborhood events.
Mayor Grant stated for the most part he agreed with the ordinance, but supported the City
tightening up some of the wording in the ordinance. He suggested allowing residents to have food
trucks two times per year.
Further discussion ensued regarding the food truck that was visiting the Karth Lake neighborhood.
Councilmember Holmes stated again that the language was not clear and she would like it
addressed. She questioned how the ordinance would be enforced this summer.
City Administrator Perrault explained it would be difficult for the food truck operators to
differentiate between who was a guest at a private party and who was not. He recommended that
the City Council also differentiate between residential and commercial properties within the
ordinance.
Mayor Grant reported the Council was not going to be able to wordsmith the ordinance this
evening. He explained the Council has suggested limiting the number of food truck visits to a
single property to two times per year. In addition, the Council would like staff to tighten up some
of the definitions. He r ecommended staff work on this and report back to the Council at a future
worksession meeting. The Council recommended staff speak with the City Attorney about how
enforcement should be managed by City staff.
H. Agendas and Council Comments
Mayor Grant stated the intent is not to turn every item on the agenda into a public hearing.
Rather, comments should be made by the public at a public hearing. He indicated items that are
pulled, under New Business or Old Business are not to be debated by the public with Council and
staff. He stated he wanted to make this clear to the Council. He stated the Public and
Informational section of the agenda should be made more clear in the future.
Councilmember Scott explained he still has an issue differentiating a consent agenda item versus a
regular item. He reported even an item on consent was on the agenda, and should be able to be
discussed.
Mayor Grant commented items on the consent agenda are not discussed, unless they are pulled
from the consent agenda for an individual vote, at which time discussion could be held.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – APRIL 19, 2021 16
Councilmember Holmes stated the Public and Informational section on the agenda may be
misleading because the public may think they are able to make comments on any item on the
agenda.
Mayor Grant reco mmended the language be tightened up regarding the Public and Informational
section of the agenda to be clearer. He reported the Council must understand and appreciate that
all other items on the agenda are to be discussed and debated only by the Council, except the
consent agenda, which is approved without discussion.
Councilmember Holden stated she understood the Mayor sets the agenda and therefore can hold
the public comment portion how he wants. She indicated there were many cities that don’t have a
public comment period. She discussed how nasty some public comments have been at the Council
meetings. She recommended public comments be made at public hearings when the Council has
information in front of them.
Councilmember Holmes explained she understood the Mayor set the agendas, but she did not
understand why a resident could not come and comment on an item on the agenda. She supported
the Council allowing public comments for three minutes and there should be no response until the
next Council meeting.
Councilmember Holden feared City Council meetings would turn into Planning Commission
meetings if this were allowed.
Councilmember Holmes noted that many of the comments are for items that were not Planning
Commission items.
Councilmember McClung stated many of the issues brought to the Planning Commission require
a public hearing before the City Council so there is an opportunity for the public to speak. He
explained he agreed with Councilmember Holmes on this noting he did not see why the public
couldn’t speak to an item, even when a public hearing was not associated with it. He reported a
specific amount of time could be set aside for the public to speak and after that time the public
would not be allowed to speak further on that item. He wanted to see the Council being open to
what residents had to say.
Councilmember Scott agreed with Councilmember McClung. He indicated the public comment
period allows residents to enter the public record along with being able to voice their opinion. He
noted public hearings are more formal.
MOTION: Mayor Grant moved and Councilmember Holden seconded a motion to
extend the City Council meeting to 8:15 p.m. A roll call vote was taken. The
motion carried unanimously (5-0).
Mayor Grant stated as the Mayor leading the meeting, he did not want to turn every item into a
public hearing. He explained further the intent of the public comment portion of the meeting. He
indicated he would clean up the wording for this portion of the agenda to make it more clear. He
t hen discussed Council Comments and noted on occasion certain Councilmembers have thrown
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – APRIL 19, 2021 17
staff under the bus, or have pointed out shortcomings or inaccuracies. He encouraged the Council
to think about their Council Comments and how they are perceived by the public and staff.
I. Council Tracker
City Administrator Perrault provided an update on the Council Tracker. No changes or
additions.
2. COUNCIL COMMENTS AND STAFF UPDATES
Councilmember Holmes stated she received a call from a resident that lives on Cleveland Avenue
in the Cottage Villages. This resident was asking about a sidewalk on Thom Drive. She noted she
would mention this to the City Council.
Councilmember Holden reported she heard from a resident that lives on Highway 10 that was
concerned about the amount of trash along this highway. She asked if staff could send a letter to
MnDOT to address this concern.
City Administrator Perrault asked if this letter would be signed by the City Council or
communicated staff to staff. The Council supported staff to staff communication.
ADJOURN
Mayor Grant adjourned the City Council Work Session at 8:13 p.m.

1.AGENDA ITEMS
A.Concept Plan Review at 3737 Lexington Avenue – Launch Properties
Planning Consultant Kansier stated Launch Properties, in association with Aldi, (“Applicant”)
has submitted an application for Concept Plan Review, proposing to redevelop a 2.5-acre site
located at 3737 Lexington Avenue N. The site is currently developed with a vacant industrial
building and associated parking lot. The applicant is proposing to raze the building and redevelop
the site with a new +/- 19,480 square foot ALDI grocery store and an additional pad site with an
+/- 5,300 square foot building purposed for a quick serve restaurant (~ 3,500 square feet) and
bank (~1,800 square feet). The property is currently zoned B-3 (Service Business District), which
permits retail sales and service uses.
Planning Consultant Kansier reported the Subject Property is guided as Commercial (COM) in
the Arden Hills 2040 Comprehensive Plan Land Use Chapter. The area is designated for a broad
range of retail, shopping, and services to meet the needs of the community and region. Compatible
uses such as office buildings are also intended for this area. A development intensity of up to 0.8
FAR may be allowed. According to the Comprehensive Plan the total area of the COM is 26
acres.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL WORK SESSION – APRIL 26, 2021 2
Planning Consultant Kansier explained the proposed lot is within the Red Fox/Grey
Fox/Lexington Avenue Business Area which is discussed in the Land Use Chapter. This area
includes Red Fox and Grey Fox roads and is bounded by Lexington Avenue, Highway 51,
Interstate 694, and the Canadian Pacific railway. This area is used by a number of small and large
businesses for a variety of retail, manufacturing, distribution, warehousing, and office uses. This
area was largely developed between the 1950’s and 1970’s, though the retail area along Lexington
Avenue has had some new development and redevelopment in the last 15 years. This area is
marked as an area of possible redevelopment.
Planning Consultant Kansier commented the Property is currently owned by STORE Capitol.
The site is currently developed as a vacant industrial building with an associated parking lot. The
Applicant is proposing to develop the parcel as a new +/- 19,480 square foot ALDI grocery store
and an additional pad site with an +/- 5,300 square foot building purposed for a quick serve
restaurant (~ 3,500 square feet) and bank (~1,800 square feet). The proposed development is
planned for construction 2021-2022. The Aldi building is proposed to be located in the northwest
corner of the site, with the supporting restaurant and bank in the northeast corner. The Subject
Property includes one access point off of Grey Fox Road. Staff commented further on the
proposal and requested comment from the Council.
Dan Terwilliger, Director of Development at Launch Properties, introduced himself and his team
to the Council. He stated a year ago he began working with staff on this project. He reported
Launch Properties completes retail projects all over the metro area. He discussed how exciting this
project was as it would redevelop an industrial property that was located in a retail pocket.
Ryan Anderson, ISG , explained he was an architect speaking on behalf of Aldi. He indicated
Aldi was a 20,000 square foot grocer that has been adding stores in the metro area. He noted Aldi
builds steel buildings with full brick that would meet City Code. He estimated Aldi would need 95
parking stalls. He understood this was a tight site, but Aldi was comfortable with the proposed
concept plan. He reported Aldi would receive one, maybe two truck deliveries per day. He
commented further on the landscaping plan and how the plantings would improve the property.
Councilmember Scott stated he was confused to which side of the lot was the front lot line.
Councilmember Holden agreed this was confusing.
Planning Consultant Kansier stated she would have to investigate this further.
Mayor Grant questioned why the applicant was only proposing to cover 14% of the lot with
landscaping when 25% was the City’s requirement.
Mr. Anderson reported the existing site was currently 5% landscaped. He discussed how he had
maximized the site in order to meet the needs of Aldi, the required parking and had improved the
green space. He reiterated that this was a tight space.
Mayor Grant asked if Mr. Anderson had more information to present to the Council.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL WORK SESSION – APRIL 26, 2021 3
Mr. Anderson reported he reviewed the site plan in further detail and commented on the
encroachment on the east side of the property. He stated he wants to work with the City to
enhance this corner of the property. He indicated he has been talking with Bank of America and a
national coffee/bakery group about collocating on this site. He commented further on the project
and requested feedback from the Council on how to proceed.
Councilmember Holden stated this was a tight site. She requested further information regarding
the drive through.
Mr. Anderson explained the bank was not requesting a drive through. He noted the drive through
would only serve the national coffee/bakery group on the northern half of the building. He
estimated the drive through would have stacking for 10 cars.
Mayor Grant reported Bank of America was a national bank chain that had four other sites in the
metro area. He discussed how the developer had maximized the amount of development on the
site, which was reflected in the reduced level of parking. He indicated he would have some
difficulty getting over this. He stated City Code required 196 stalls for this site and the developer
was proposing 138.
Councilmember Holden questioned how snow removal would be managed on this property.
Mr. Anderson stated no retail operation, especially national vendors, would move forward with a
project if they were not comfortable with the level of parking. He reported Aldi does not open
until 9:00 a.m. He was of the opinion the coffee shop would have an AM peak while Aldi would
have a PM peak, noting these uses complimented each other nicely. He discussed how snow
could be removed, trucked off and hauled away during the winter months.
Councilmember Holmes commented on how grocery stores were limiting their level of parking
to maximize the money made per square foot. She noted there was a concern in the metro area
with the reduced level of parking at grocery stores in the metro area. She explained that the coffee
shop would not just have an AM peak. She indicated Arden Hills was full of college students that
would take advantage of this and use all hours of the day. She feared that this site was too full and
did not adequately provide enough parking stalls or space for snow storage. She understood this
building had two frontages and questioned if there would be a sidewalk on Lexington Avenue and
Grey Fox Road.
Mr. Anderson reported there would be sidewalks along both frontages.
Councilmember Scott asked what Aldi required for parking.
Mr. Anderson explained Aldi generally requires 95 parking stalls. He indicated he had parking
studies from around the metro with peak time information and noted 95 stalls has been adequate.
Councilmember Scott inquired if the other two clients were comfortable with the proposed level
of parking.
Mr. Anderson stated to date the other two clients were comfortable with the proposed parking.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL WORK SESSION – APRIL 26, 2021 4
Councilmember Scott commented he was most concerned with the reduced level of parking on
the site, but he also understood parking requirements have changed in the last 10 years. He
indicated he would be willing to change some of the landscaping requirements in the interior
parking lot if more interior stalls were added to the parking lot.
Councilmember Holden stated she was not comfortable with the proposed parking. She reported
she did not want parking to spill over onto adjacent uses. She feared how the parking lot would
be backed up with cars waiting to get through the coffee shop drive through. In addition, she was
concerned about the lack of landscaping. She explained the B-2 requirements were put in place to
ensure these commercial and retail developments had a similar look and feel. Lastly, she noted
this building would need more windows in order to meet the City’s requirements.
Councilmember Scott commented on the setbacks for the site and asked if staff had determined
where the front lot line would be.
Planning Consultant Kansier reported after investigating this further it appears the front lot line
would be along Lexington Avenue.
Brian Wurdeman, Civil Engineer for Kimley-Horn, noted the building had a 50 foot building
setback from Lexington Avenue and Grey Fox Road. He explained the western and northern sides
had a 20 foot setback. He explained the applicant was seeking flexibility along Lexington Avenue
and the western property boundary.
Further discussion ensued regarding the proposed setbacks for the building.
Mayor Grant asked if the front yard setback, along Lexington Avenue was greater than 50 feet.
Mr. Wurdeman stated he was looking for flexibility of 30 feet along Lexington Avenue.
Mayor Grant questioned what the setback was from Grey Fox Road.
Mr. Wurdeman indicated the building was in compliance with the 50 foot setback along Grey
Fox Road.
Mayor Grant inquired why this Bank of America required less parking.
Mr. Anderson explained this was not a full bank but rather was a smaller prototype.
Mayor Grant stated this was an appealing market for coffee/bakery uses given the fact Arden
Hills had two universities close by and students frequented them for studying. He indicated this
created concerns for him regarding the proposed level of parking on this site.
Councilmember Holmes explained she was familiar with the Aldi’s in Mounds View and
Roseville, both of which had a great deal of parking. She anticipated it was very rare that a retail
operation would haul away their snow. She believed it was unrealistic that the Aldi in Arden Hills
would haul away its snow. She requested further information regarding the snow removal plan.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL WORK SESSION – APRIL 26, 2021 5
Mr. Anderson estimated the Aldi store in Roseville had 90 to 95 parking stalls. He understood it
was not standard operations to haul snow away, but in order to make a project work, this would be
taken into consideration.
Councilmember Holmes expressed frustration with how the developer was changing their
answer. She asked if the snow would be stored on site and then removed, or would this simply be
considered.
Mr. Anderson apologized if he misspoke. He reported he can’t speak to Aldi’s finances but
understood they would prefer to not have to remove snow from the site, unless this was required
in a site maintenance document.
Councilmember Holmes explained the City was not going to tell the developer what to do with
their snow. She stated simply that most commercial properties have space on their site for snow
storage and do not opt to have the snow hauled away due to the expense. She was of the opinion
the developer had not thought this issue through.
Councilmember Scott believed that the applicant would not bring forward an application without
planning for snow storage. He indicated his only concern with this site plan was the reduced level
of parking.
Mayor Grant commented there seems to be a delineation between the coffee shop/bank and the
grocery store. He asked if this was a property line.
Mr. Wurdeman reported this was the case, but noted Launch Properties would be maintaining
ownership of the properties. He anticipated the two properties would work together to have snow
removed from the site.
Councilmember Holden discussed how many people would be visiting the bank and coffee shop
use. She was of the opinion the site was under parked and she would not be able to support the
plan as proposed.
Andrew Mack, Aldi representative, explained the Roseville store has 80 stalls. He anticipated
the Arden Hills store would have the same volume in sales as the Roseville store.
Councilmember Holmes reported this may be the case, but noted the Roseville store does not
also have a bank and coffee shop attached to it. She stated she too was having a problem
supporting this concept plan due to the lack of parking.
Mayor Grant discussed the trash enclosure area on the site plan and questioned if this would
serve all three uses.
Mr. Anderson reported Aldi would have a separate trash enclosure near the loading dock area.
Mayor Grant questioned how delivery trucks would access the loading dock area.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL WORK SESSION – APRIL 26, 2021 6
Mr. Wurdeman described how trucks would enter and exit the site in order to reach the loading
dock.
Mayor Grant asked if the Fire Marshall had reviewed the plans.
Mr. Wurdeman reported the Fire Marshall had not yet reviewed the plans.
Mayor Grant commented on the tight turning radiuses that were being proposed and stated it
would be important for the Fire Marshall to provide comments on the proposed plan. He
explained at this time he was feeling uneasy about supporting this plan. He requested further
information regarding the loud speakers that would be used at the coffee shop.
Planning Consultant Kansier reported further information would be known about the loud
speaker when the preliminary plans were submitted to staff.
Councilmember Holden suggested the bank and the coffee shop be eliminated from the project
as this would free up more space for landscaping and parking. He encouraged the developer to
reconsider the plans so the Council could support the project.
Mayor Grant asked if the applicant had any questions for the Council.
Mr. Wurdeman thanked the Council for their time and stated he would work to address the
parking, snow removal and landscaping concerns that had been brought up by the Council.
2. COUNCIL COMMENTS AND STAFF UPDATES
Councilmember Holmes requested the Mounds View School District be invited to a future work
session in order to discuss the pedestrian crossing at the Mounds View High School.
Councilmember Holden asked when the Council would receive an update on water meters.
Councilmember Holden discussed the water bill envelopes and questioned when the City would
be done using them.
City Administrator Perrault explained staff had no intention of going away from that type of
envelope.
Councilmember Holden stated she would like the Council to discuss the CDBG funds for Arden
Manor, along with the additional CARES funds at a future work session.
City Administrator Perrault discussed when the City would receive the additional funding from
the federal government noting these funds should funnel down from the County in May.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL WORK SESSION – APRIL 26, 2021 7

2. PUBLIC INQUIRIES/INFORMATIONAL
Chad Wakabayashi, 3182 Cleveland Avenue North, explained he had an issue with a water bill
he received for the first quarter of 2021. He reported in the fourth quarter of 2020 there was a
problem with the transmitter and the City was not receiving accurate information about the water
usage. He commented this meant water usage was being estimated which led to a $3,000 water
bill. He stated it was his understanding there was no leak or continuous usage situation on the
property and requested the City forgive the overage. He noted the average water bill per quarter
ranged from $250 to $300. He recommended the estimated bill be based on historical averages
and not continuous use.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – APRIL 26, 2021 2
Mayor Grant requested staff review this matter with Mr. Wakabayashi and report back at the
next regularly scheduled City Council meeting. He explained he was aware that there was more
than one water bill that staff was researching.
Gregg Larson, 3377 North Snelling Avenue, called to the Council’s attention that the meeting
packet appeared to have a different Zoom link for this meeting than the Zoom link included in a
notice he had received.
Mayor Grant noted the City had four Public Hearings this evening. He requested staff investigate
that the links were properly published for tonight’s meeting.
City Administrator Perrault reported after checking each of the links within the Public Hearing
notices it appears all of the links were posted correctly.
Interim Public Works Director Swearingen stated that residents may be referencing an earlier
notice from the City about the Snelling Avenue project which would have had a Zoom link for a
meeting that took place on another date and time. He concurred that this current mailing notice,
which was provided to the properties that would be directly affected by special assessments, did in
fact contain the correct Zoom link for tonight’s meeting.
Councilmember Holden commented by that looking at the number of people that were attending
the meeting virtually, she believed residents were finding the correct link for the meeting.
Mayor Grant thanked Mr. Larson for bringing this concern to the Council’s attention.

and up to date information regarding COVID-19. He reported the Minnesota Department of
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – APRIL 26, 2021 3
Health and CDC also had websites with current guidelines and recommendations. He explained
the City of Arden Hills remains in a peacetime state of emergency and City Hall will remain
closed until further notice. He indicated City staff remains operational and can be reached via

9. PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. Snelling Avenue and County Road E Street and Utility Improvement Project
Interim Public Works Director Swearingen stated on April 12, 2021, the City Council adopted
Resolution 2021-022 receiving the feasibility report and calling for a public hearing to consider
proposed improvements for the Snelling Avenue North and County Road E Improvements
Project. It was noted a complete copy of the feasibility report is provided on the City project
webpage.
Interim Public Works Director Swearingen explained projects involving special assessments
generally require two public hearings commonly known as an improvement hearing and an
assessment hearing. The subject hearing for April 26 is the improvement hearing. The purpose of
the improvement hearing is for the City Council to discuss a specific local improvement before
ordering it done. The second assessment hearing would be scheduled after the project has received
contractor bids to provide property owners an opportunity to express concerns about the actual
special assessments.
Interim Public Works Director Swearingen reported at the improvement hearing, interested
persons may voice their opinion regarding the proposed project improvements and whether or not
they are in the proposed assessment area. A reasonable estimate of the total amount to be assessed
and the description of the methodology used to calculate individual assessments for affected
parcels is contained within the feasibility report, a copy of which is available for review on the
City’s website. Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 429, notices of the public hearing were
published in the Pioneer Press on April 13, 2021 and April 20, 2021. A notice was also mailed to
each property within the draft assessment roll area on April 14, 2021. Staff commented further on
the proposed improvements for Area 1, Area 2 and Cummings Lane, discussed the design
alternatives, along with the estimated project costs, and recommended the Council hold a public
hearing for the Snelling Avenue and County Road E Street and Utility Improvement Project.
Councilmember Holden asked if the Cummings Lane street bed had been enhanced to
accommodate the number of buses turning around in the cul-de-sac.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – APRIL 26, 2021 5
Interim Public Works Director Swearingen stated he was notified of this issue by a resident in
the area and he explained he could not speak if the amount shown covered the expense. He noted
he would speak to the project designer regarding this manner to address this concern.
Councilmember Holden requested further information on the MSA streets.
Interim Public Works Director Swearingen explained MSA streets were designated based on
car volume and had to be designed to certain standards. He noted the City receives State funding
to assist with reconstructing MSA streets. He indicated Old Snelling was an MSA roadway.
Mayor Grant explained regardless of the option chosen, the road will be designed in such a
manner that MSA funds could be applied in the future.
Interim Public Works Director Swearingen reported this was correct.
Further discussion ensued regarding how MSA roadways were designed and engineered.
Mayor Grant opened the public hearing at 7:49 p.m.
Elyse Farnsworth, 1487 Lametti Lane, urged the Council to choose Option 1 with the trail. She
believed this was the better option and would allow her neighborhood to be included in the City’s
trail system. She understood this would come at a higher cost, but believed this was the best way
to move the project forward.
Gregg Larson, 3377 North Snelling Avenue, stated he lives on one of the streets planned for
improvement. He explained he wants a trail that has been promised for decades along with the
same safety features other City trails have. He did not believe the residents in this project area
were less deserving than other Arden Hills residents. He did not want to be left on the shoulder
anymore. He was of the opinion the feasibility study was flawed with only two alternatives. He
believed that both alternatives were unacceptable. He indicated the report rejects Option 1 as
being too expensive and Option 2 has been rejected by residents because it does not include a
trail. He recommended the City consider an option that was somewhere in between. He
suggested the current 40 feet of roadway along Old Snelling Avenue be reconsidered. He noted
the lane widths could be reduced to 11 feet, which would provide two feet. He explained
reducing the width of the shoulder on one side by four feet would create four additional feet for a
trail, leaving 14 feet on the trail side. He reported full depth reclamation would reduce the cost for
Option 1, as would a trail on the east versus the west side of the street. He suggested curbs be
placed between the roadway and the new trail for safety purposes. He indicated creative design on
the trail side would allow for the current rural ditch drainage to be utilized without needing to
invest in costly stormwater improvements. He stated if the design does not MSA standards, a
variance could be requested or this portion of Old Snelling could be delisted on the MSA network.
He commented this may be a better option than trying to construct this roadway to meet MSA
standards considering no dollars were available to assist with this project. He encouraged the City
to improve the safety for the pedestrians walking along this roadway and that rumble strips and
ballards not be considered. He wanted to see a safe trail design approved for this project.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – APRIL 26, 2021 6
Bobby Goldman, 1290 County Road F W #309, noted he does not live in the immediate area, but
he walks and bikes across Arden Hills quite often. He stated this was an area of concern for him.
He recommended a comprehensive park and trail infrastructure plan be considered. He reported
this trail segment has been in planning stages for decades. He understood the trail would come at a
higher cost, but believed it was in the City’s best interest to complete the trail.
Amy Hoffman, 3500 Glen Arden Road, stated she supported Option 1. She encouraged the
Council to create a safe pedestrian safe for the pedestrians that live in this area. She indicated this
roadway needs a curb separated trail and suggested the Council have a solution mindset to get this
project done.
Stephen Nelson, 3475 Siems Court, asked if this was the correct time to talk about the
roundabout.
Mayor Grant reported now would be the correct time.
Mr. Nelson explained a trail was necessary along this roadway but recommended the City work
within the current footprint of the roadway. He commented he saw no advantages to pursuing a
roundabout and noted it would be difficult for pedestrians to cross to cross the roundabout. He
indicated the roundabout was quite costly and he recommended the four-way stop remain in place.
He believed the real problem was the street lights at McDonald’s which created backups. He
encouraged the City to save the money and not pursue the roundabout.
Todd Mueller, 1429 Lametti Lane, asked if the City would reconsider how the turn lane along
Highway 51 at Old Snelling Avenue was laid out within this project.
Interim Public Works Director Swearingen reported this particular turn lane was within
MNDOT right of way and was not included in these improvements.
Mr. Mueller encouraged the City to speak to the State about the layout of this turn lane.
Interim Public Works Director Swearingen explained MNDOT was consider improvements for
the Highway 51 corridor and noted he could bring this concern to their attention.
Mr. Mueller commented the proposed trail would benefit so many people in the neighborhood.
He questioned if there would there ever be a connection along Highway 51 to provide a loop
around the lake.
Interim Public Works Director Swearingen commented the PTRC has contacted Roseville and
MNDOT regarding this trail connection. He noted preliminary discussions were being held.
Christy Jacob, 4192 Arden Place W, stated she supported Option 1 or any solution focused
option that would include a trail. She explained she had children that liked to ride their bikes and
she would like to see a trail for safety purposes.
Jill King, 1483 Bussard Court, reported she moved to Arden Hills in 2010. She discussed how
many young people have moved into her neighborhood over the years and believed that the
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – APRIL 26, 2021 7
proposed trail was extremely pivotal for safety reasons. She commented on how much more her
children have been biking since COVID happened, because the level of traffic on the streets was
lower. She stated she would love for her children to be able to experience all of Arden Hills, but
this was being hindered due to the lack of a trail along Old Snelling Avenue. She encouraged the
City to pursue more than two options in order to find the best and most affordable solution for the
City. She commented further on the benefit of having a complete route around Lake Johanna.
Doug Lieser, 1434 Bussard Court, supported Option 1 for Area 1. He explained he had safety
concerns and would like to see a trail completed. He noted he has two small children and noted
his kids and all people in the neighborhood would benefit from a trail. He recommended a curbed
trail system be pursued.
Patrick Burlingame, 3590 Snelling Avenue North, thanked the Council for their time. He
questioned why his property was not being assessed for this project. He indicated the City cannot
promise anything and also cannot take bribery from residents because they want a trail. He
explained this roadway has a shoulder where people can walk. He noted he lives on the end of a
frontage road that is awkward. He discussed the design of Highway 51 and reported there was
shoddy planning and poor soils under this roadway. He did not believe the City could be trusted
to finish a project. He recommended the shoulder be used for walking. He suggested if a trail
was considered that it be built from County Road E and Snelling Avenue to Lake Johanna. He
indicated he was not resistant to a roundabout. He reported studies show that roundabouts were a
safer option. He supported a roundabout being built per State guidelines. He stated he did not
support paying more money in order to get a trail.
Ms. Hoffman expressed her concern with the current state of the intersection. She noted she has
three young children and reported there was little to no room for walkers to safely cross this
intersection. She suggested the lane widths be repainted in order to improve pedestrian safety.
Kathy Nelson, 3475 Siems Court, encouraged the City to consider Gregg Larson’s suggestions.
She stated she did not want to see any trees lost along this roadway or that the trail be brought
closer to homes. She discussed how the installation of curb and gutter would impact the street.
She requested the speed limit for this roadway be reduced from 40 miles per hour to 30 miles per
hour. She suggested the City reconsider the options for this project prior to moving it forward.
Mayor Grant closed the public hearing at 8:22 p.m.
B. Amended Planned Unit Development and Site Plan – Boston Scientific – 4100
Hamline Avenue N – PC 21-001
Planning Consultant Kansier stated the Boston Scientific campus at 4100 Hamline Avenue
North operates under a Planned Unit Development (PUD) that was originally approved in 2002
for the Guidant Corporation. The last update to the PUD and Campus Master Plan took place in
2020 when the City approved a loading dock addition to the South side of Building 10. Before
that, in 2017, the City approved a 5,330 square foot building addition on the northeast corner of
Building 9 (Planning Case 17-013). New building construction or site modification identified on
the approved Campus Master Plan requires the submittal of a Site Plan Review application prior
to construction. For building construction or site modifications not included on the Master Plan, a
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – APRIL 26, 2021 8
PUD Amendment is required. The proposed addition to Building 14 is not shown on the current
Master Plan and a PUD Amendment is therefore being requested. Staff commented further on the
request and recommended the Council hold a public hearing for the requested Amended PUD and
Site Plan for Boston Scientific.
Mayor Grant opened the public hearing at 8:33 p.m.
Bryan Mills, 1288 Wynridge Drive, reminded the Council that this was the only industrially
zoned property adjacent to a residential neighborhood. Because of this, he encouraged the Council
to take into consideration the concerns of the neighborhood. He asked if the removal of the
existing industrial equipment on the northwest corner had been formalized or was this a line item
that might happen at some point in the future.
Planning Consultant Kansier reported the way it was worded, once the expansion was
completed, the HVAC equipment may be removed. She explained the City Council could create a
condition or place timeframes on this work.
Mayor Grant recommended any comment from the applicant be addressed under Item 10B on
the agenda.
Mayor Grant closed the public hearing at 8:38 p.m.
C. Conditional Use Permit Amendment and Site Plan – Bethel University
(Football Field) – 3900 Bethel Drive – PC 21-002
Planning Consultant Kansier stated Bethel University (“The Applicant”) is requesting a
Conditional Use Permit (CUP) Amendment and Site Plan Review to update the existing football
and practice fields located in the southern quadrant of their main campus at 3900 Bethel Drive.
The Applicant is proposing to convert the existing grass football field into a synthetic turf stadium
field with a new track constructed around it and the existing grass practice field into a synthetic
turf multi-purpose field. The Applicant is also proposing changes to the lighting around the two
fields, scoreboards, the spectator plazas, the perimeter fencing, and the grandstand and press box.
Seating capacity will remain as is.
Planning Consultant Kansier explained Bethel University operates under a CUP Master Plan.
As the university comes forward with plans, they are reviewed against the Master Plan for
consistency. Building plans that are consistent with the Master Plan require a Site Plan Review. A
CUP Amendment is required when plans are not included in the approved Master Plan. The two
proposed improvements to the football field and the practice field are not included on the Master
Plan and a CUP Amendment is therefore required. Staff commented further on the request and
recommended the Council hold a public hearing for the CUP Amendment and Site Plan for Bethel
University for the changes proposed to the football field.
Councilmember Holden reported the plans before the Council had a plaza, scoreboard, perimeter
fencing and other items that were not being requested at this time. She questioned how the
Council should address this concern.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – APRIL 26, 2021 9
Planning Consultant Kansier stated she understood these items were on the plan and in the
pictures provided by Bethel University. She explained she had called Bethel University to request
updated plans. She recommended that if this item were approved that the motion be very specific
to the items being approved.
Mayor Grant opened the public hearing at 8:50 p.m.
Rob Carlson, 3377 Snelling Avenue North, asked if the lighting would have a time limitation.
He inquired if the lights would have to be shut off by a certain time at night.
Planning Consultant Kansier indicated she was not aware of any set requirement but this could
be a made a condition for approval.
Mr. Carlson reported he lived in between Bethel University and Northwestern University. He
explained Roseville has requirements on when the lights have to be shut off. He encouraged the
City Council to also have a requirement in place as to when the lights must be shut off.
Mayor Grant closed the public hearing at 8:52 p.m.
D. Amended Planned Unit Development and Site Plan – 3787 Lexington Avenue
– PC 21-004 (Lexington Station Phase 3)
Planning Consultant Kansier stated 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.
Staff commented further on the request and recommended the Council hold a public hearing for
the Amended PUD and Site Plan request for Lexington Station Phase 3.
Councilmember Holden stated after visiting the site on numerous occasions she has never seen
the parking lot full. She asked where snow was stored in the parking lots during the winter
months.
Mayor Grant commented he did not recall where snow was stored for Phase 1 and Phase 2. He
requested further information regarding the cross access agreement and traffic flow to the south of
this development.
Planning Consultant Kansier reviewed the Site Plan with the Council and explained the
property to the south was not interested in a cross access agreement. She noted if the property to
the south were to redevelop in the future, a cross access agreement could be considered. She noted
the main purpose for this cross access agreement would be to have access to the stoplight.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – APRIL 26, 2021 10
Mayor Grant opened the public hearing at 9:09 p.m.
Lynda Hanni, 4211 Shirley Lane N in Shoreview, stated her concerns with this project was that
the traffic study was completed in February of 2021 during the COVID timeframe. She explained
she traveled this roadway every day and she feared that the traffic levels were not accurate. She
encouraged the City to take this into consideration.
Mayor Grant closed the public hearing at 9:12 p.m.
10. NEW BUSINESS
A. Resolution 2021-025 Ordering Improvement and Preparation of Plans and
Specifications – Snelling Avenue N and County Road E Street and Utility
Improvement Project
Interim Public Works Director Swearingen stated following the public hearing under agenda
item No. 9A, the next step in the project delivery process is to approve a Resolution ordering the
improvements and the preparation of plans and specification for the Snelling Avenue North and
County Road E Improvements Project. The Resolution would order the improvements and plans
in accordance with the recommendations provided in the project feasibility report. The Council
must formally decide on the Alternative within Area 1 to move forward with design, in which, this
decision will be inserted into the Resolution. Upon approval of the resolution, a Request for
Proposals (RFP) for producing project design plans and specifications will go out to respected
consulting firms whom have recently completed successful projects with the City of Arden Hills.
Mayor Grant asked if staff looked at other options for Area 1.
Interim Public Works Director Swearingen explained two options were included within the
feasibility report and noted both met MSA standards. He commented further on the improvements
that would have to be completed in order to comply with MSA requirements. He was of the
opinion that other options were considered within the feasibility study, but noted the two most
feasible options were presented to the Council.
Councilmember Holden discussed the option provided by Mr. Larson and asked if the City could
request a variance to the MSA standards. She indicated she would be willing to postpone action
on this item if this were the case.
Interim Public Works Director Swearingen indicated MSA does allow variances. He reported
he was not experienced enough to understand what type of variances they do and do not allow. He
stated he would have to communicate with State Aid representatives for clarification on this
matter.
Mayor Grant noted Mr. Larson’s commented were provided to the Council in Appendix J.
Councilmember Holden stated without knowing what MSA would waive, she questioned if the
City could narrow the roadway with a curb and trail.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – APRIL 26, 2021 11
Interim Public Works Director Swearingen stated he does not have any reason to believe that
the feasibility report that was presented wouldn’t have taken that into consideration, if it were
allowed.
Mayor Grant discussed Design Alternative 2 for Area 1. He questioned further information
regarding the lane and shoulder widths for this alternative. He asked if MSA would allow for 11
foot wide roadways.
Interim Public Works Director Swearingen read through the recommendations within the
feasibility study and stated 11 feet would be allowed for the traveling lanes on MSA roadways.
He commented the City was proposing to shrink the shoulder on the east side, to shrink the
driving lanes and then to create a walking shoulder on the west side of the roadway.
Mayor Grant questioned what the shoulder width would be on the east side of the roadway.
Interim Public Works Director Swearingen indicated this would be up to the City but given the
steep slope of the land adjacent to the shoulder, staff was recommending the shoulder not be any
less than six feet.
Mayor Grant reported this would create a 12 foot shoulder on the west side of the roadway.
Interim Public Works Director Swearingen stated this was correct.
Councilmember Holden asked if it was traffic safety engineers that put the two options together
for the City to consider.
Interim Public Works Director Swearingen explained this was the case.
Councilmember Scott questioned if the assessment to the residents was the same between Option
1 and Option 2.
Mayor Grant reported this was correct.
Councilmember Holden commented she received calls and emails from residents that want the
trail as well as calls and emails from residents that do not want the trail. She stated she would be
willing to postpone action on this project in order to allow staff to speak with MSA staff to see if
the roadway can be narrowed and a trail created on the existing roadway that would meet
everyone’s needs. She indicated it was a goal to have trails throughout the entire City, but noted
the franchise fee was defeated by the residents. She reported the Council tries to partner with
people and that was how trails have been completed. She explained the City has worked to
complete a lot of trails in the past 10 years. She stated she did not feel guilty about installing a
shoulder trail if it was safe.
Mayor Grant stated he was surprised by the number of people who said a wider shoulder would
be sufficient and did not want the trail. He indicated he wanted the shoulder to be safe. He
explained if the Council had more questions that had to be brought to the MSA, he did not have a
problem postponing action on this item. He commented it was clear this roadway had to be
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – APRIL 26, 2021 12
redone and was beyond its serviceable life. He stated he would rather delay action than rush the
project through without having an optimal decision.
Councilmember Holmes indicated staff needed direction on how to proceed for Area 1, whether
that be Option 1 or Option 2. She questioned if the Council could move Option 2 forward
directing staff to speak with the MSA to see if narrowing travel lanes and a shoulder trail option
was viable.
Mayor Grant asked how things were looking in terms of the project timeline.
Interim Public Works Director Swearingen explained this project was slated to be bid in
February of 2022 with construction beginning in April of 2022.
Councilmember Holmes stated she did not believe it would take staff too long to speak with
individuals at the MSA to see if this proposal was viable.
Interim Public Works Director Swearingen commented he has discussed the proposed options
with MSA and it was recommended the trail not be made too wide so as to be confused as a travel
lane.
Councilmember Scott stated his overwhelming concern was safety for residents. He indicated he
did not want to see the project delayed another year given the existing condition of the roadway.
He was of the opinion the residents in the area overwhelmingly supported Option 1.
Councilmember Holmes discussed the comments from the public that were provided to the
Council in Appendix J. She anticipated about 50% of the residents wanted Option 1 and 50%
supported Option 2.
Councilmember Holden asked if the City could put any type of markings on the pavement they
choose.
Interim Public Works Director Swearingen stated this was possible and commented on the type
of buffer strips that could be painted on the roadway.
Mayor Grant noted this meant a person walking symbol could be painted on the pavement, along
with a double white line.
Interim Public Works Director Swearingen reported this was the case.
Mayor Grant asked if the Council was comfortable moving forward allowing staff the flexibility
to have further conversations with MSA.
Councilmember Scott inquired if a date would be set for approval.
Mayor Grant commented he did not have a specific date or deadline in mind. Rather he was
hoping staff could speak with MSA and report back to the Council.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – APRIL 26, 2021 13
Councilmember Holmes supported the Mayor’s suggestion with Option 2 moving forward and
directing staff to discuss alternative options with MSA. She indicated she did not want this project
further delayed.
Interim Public Works Director Swearingen stated this item would need four votes in order to
move it forward.
City Attorney Jamnik explained State law requires a 4/5 vote of the City Council to order
improvements that do not come to the City under a petition.
Councilmember Holden stated she was in favor of moving the project forward with Option 2.
She discussed how Option 1 would change the look and feel of the neighborhood.
Councilmember Scott reported in the interest of moving this project forward he will reluctantly
support Option 2.
MOTION: Councilmember Scott moved and Councilmember Holmes seconded a motion
to adopt Resolution #2021-025 – Ordering Improvement and Preparation of
Plans and Specifications – Snelling Avenue N and County Road E Street and
Utility Improvement Project to incorporate Alternative 2 for Area 1. A roll
call vote was taken. The motion carried (4-0).
B. Amended Planned Unit Development Site Plan Review – Boston Scientific –
4100 Hamline Avenue N – PC 21-001
Planning Consultant Kansier stated following the public hearing under agenda item No. 9B, the
next step in the process is to approve a PUD Amendment and Site Plan Review for Boston
Scientific. Staff provided the following Findings of Fact:
1. The Boston Scientific campus at 4100 Hamline Avenue North operates under a Planned
Unit Development (PUD) that was originally approved in 2002 for the Guidant
Corporation.
2. The last update to the PUD and Campus Master Plan took place in in 2020 when the City
approved a loading dock addition to the South side of Building 10 (Planning Case 19-
018).
3. New building construction or site modification identified on the approved Campus Master
Plan requires the submittal of a Site Plan Review application prior to construction.
4. For building construction or site modifications not included on the Master Plan, a PUD
Amendment is required.
5. The proposed addition to Building 14 is not shown on the current Master Plan.
6. A public hearing for a PUD Amendment request is required before the request can be
brought before the City Council.
7. The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on April 7, 2021.
Planning Consultant Kansier explained the Planning Commission reviewed this application at
their April 7, 2021 meeting. At that time, they recommended approval of the Boston Scientific
application for an Amended Planned Unit and Site Plan by a 6-0 vote. Staff recommended a
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – APRIL 26, 2021 14

ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – APRIL 26, 2021 15
Mayor Grant requested the applicant address the question that was raised during the public
hearing.
Jeff Hejl, Facility Engineer at Boston Scientific, explained the existing equipment on the north
side of the building, which included an HVAC chilling unit would be replaced in order to reduce
noise levels at Building 14.
Councilmember Holden requested further clarification on which pieces of equipment would be
replaced.
Mr. Hejl stated the equipment on Building 14 that was included in the noise study included
compressor units and vacuum pumps that have been mitigated since the 2006 study. He indicated
there was also a chiller unit on top of the roof that supports the HVAC system, along with air cold
units that service the controlled environment in the manufacturing area of the building. He
explained the chiller unit on the far north end of the building was past end of life and causes the
most noise from the study. He reported this one unit would be removed and replaced.
Councilmember Holmes commented this has always been a confusing issue for her. She
indicated only the chiller would be removed but it would be replaced with a new chiller.
Mr. Hejl stated that was correct.
Councilmember Holmes questioned when this would happen.
Mr. Hejl explained this would happen during the duration of the expansion project. He stated the
project was expected to be done by December of 2022.
Councilmember Holden asked if both chillers would be operating at any one time.
Mr. Hejl stated this would not occur.
Further discussion ensued regarding the future mechanical needs for Boston Scientific.
Councilmember Holden requested further information regarding the tree replacement plan. She
understood the applicant was interested in planting more trees and reported the area down by the
adjacent homes does not have a large number of trees currently. She questioned where the
additional trees would be placed.
John Larson, RSP Architects, reviewed the tree replacement plan in further detail with the
Council. He noted only a portion of the trees that would be planted on the westerly side of the
building were shown on the plan. He explained he had submitted an updated landscaping plan
(Sheet L161) to staff, but this drawing was not included in the packet. He indicated more trees
would be planted to the north along the western edge of the building.
Councilmember Holden requested staff changing the drawing on the screen to show where the
clusters of trees would be located.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – APRIL 26, 2021 16
Councilmember Scott stated for a point of order, the City Council had reached its three hour time
limit for this meeting.
Mayor Grant explained the Council had to make a motion to extend the meeting.
MOTION: Mayor Grant moved and Councilmember Holden seconded a motion to
extend the meeting to 11:00 p.m. A roll call vote was taken. The motion
carried (4-0).
Mr. Larson reviewed the site plan in further detail with the Council noting the location of the
additional trees.
Councilmember Holden asked if the majority of these trees would be evergreens.
Mr. Larson reported this was the case, noting the trees would be a variety of cedars and pines.
Councilmember Holden questioned what size trees were being planted.
Mr. Larson reviewed the caliper inches of the trees that would be planted. He estimated 63
caliper inches of trees would be planted.
Councilmember Holden supported an additional condition that would require the applicant to
plant additional trees in order to put this requirement into writing.
Mr. Larson stated he supported the Council adding this condition.
MOTION: Mayor Grant moved and Councilmember Holmes seconded a motion to
approve Planning Case 21-001 for a Planned Unit Development (PUD)
Amendment and Site Plan Review of 4100 Hamline Avenue based on the
findings of fact and submitted plans, and the twelve (12) conditions in the
April 26, 2021, Report to the City Council.
Councilmember Holden stated the applicant was asking for a variance of five feet. She
questioned how high the roof would be without the equipment.
Mayor Grant reported the building would be 21 feet high.
Mr. Hejl commented with the mechanical penthouse the roof would be 39 feet above the grade
level. He explained if the full enclosure was not around the HVAC units a screen wall would be
constructed 33 feet above grade level. He stated that if only a screen were constructed, this
building would not meet the City’s noise requirements and the entire HVAC system would have
to be reconstructed.
Councilmember Holden stated if noise standards were exceeded, would there be any way to
insulate the mechanical penthouse against sound.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – APRIL 26, 2021 17
Tony Baxter, Acoustical Engineer with ESI, explained he has discussed what else can be done if
this building exceeds the L50 requirement for noise. He reported these changes would not be to
the penthouse, but rather would be to the screening around the chiller units. He stated he did not
anticipate this building would have a problem.
Mr. Hejl commented he has also made mention that post project Boston Scientific would do
additional noise readings to ensure the building has met the MPCA limits. He proposed following
up with this six months later to ensure the building was meeting the limits.
Councilmember Holden questioned what the screen would be made of around the new chiller
unit.
Mr. Larson reported the screening would be made from a heavy gauge corrugated ribbed metal
panel. He stated this material was akin to a sound wall.
Councilmember Holden asked if better fencing could be placed around the chiller now.
Mr. Larson explained Boston Scientific has been working with Mr. Baxter to find the right
material in order to get the desired effect and to reduce sound coming from the building.
Mr. Baxter indicated the barrier wall material had sufficient mass that to attenuate the noise. He
stated if the material were thicker or stiffer, there would be no improvement. He commented the
proposed material was already sufficient.
Councilmember Holmes requested Condition 11 be amended to require the applicant to complete
a noise study six months after the building was completed to ensure the building was still
compliant with MPCA requirements.
AMENDMENT: Councilmember Holmes moved and Mayor Grant seconded a motion
to amend Condition 11 requiring the applicant to conduct a noise study
six months after the building was completed.
Councilmember Holden stated these noise studies would be completed when the equipment was
most new and efficient. She anticipated the equipment would increase in noise over time and she
would like to see Boston Scientific required to conduct more studies over time.
Councilmember Holmes discussed Condition 12 noting this would require the applicant to
complete an annual noise study.
Councilmember Holden indicated this addresses her concern. She called the question.
A roll call vote was taken. The amendment carried 3-1
(Councilmember Scott opposed).
Councilmember Holmes stated she would like to add Condition 13 requiring the applicant to
replace the original chiller by December of 2022.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – APRIL 26, 2021 18
AMENDMENT: Councilmember Holmes moved and Councilmember Holden seconded
a motion to add Condition 13 requiring the applicant to replace the
original chiller by December of 2022.
Councilmember Holden questioned when occupancy would be granted for this building.
Mr. Hejl stated certificate of occupancy and start date would be quarter one of 2023.
A roll call vote was taken. The amendment carried 3-1
(Councilmember Scott opposed).
Councilmember Holmes stated she would like to see a condition that addresses the trees.
Planning Consultant Kansier explained Condition 3 states the project shall be completed in
accordance with all plans submitted.
Councilmember Holmes reported the applicant has proposed doubling the number of trees on the
current plan, which meant there would be 74 trees with a total replacement of 127 caliper inches.
Planning Consultant Kansier recommended specific numbers not be referenced. She found the
resubmitted plans dated February 8, 2021, and stated these could be referenced on a new
condition.
Councilmember Holden stated this does not help as the Council has not seen these plans. She
asked if the applicant would be installing eight to twelve foot trees on the north side.
Planning Consultant Kansier explained according to the submitted plans, the applicant was
proposing to install twelve foot trees on the north side.
AMENDMENT: Councilmember Holmes moved and Mayor Grant seconded a motion
to add Condition 14 noting the tree preservation plan (L001, L060,
L160, and L161) that will be followed for this project will be from the
plans submitted to the City dated February 8, 2021.
A roll call vote was taken. The amendment carried (4-0).
Mayor Grant called the question on the amended motion.
A roll call was taken. The amended motion to approve Planning Case 21-001
for a Planned Unit Development (PUD) Amendment and Site Plan Review of
4100 Hamline Avenue based on the findings of fact and submitted plans, the
proposed conditions as stated in the April 26, 2021, Report to the City Council
and the amended conditions as stated above carried (4-0).

3. Recommend Denial
4. Table
Councilmember Holmes reported this Planning Case was a little confusing because it wasn’t
clear what the Council was approving. She believed the applicant should make it clear what was
being approved with this case.
Jay Pomeroy, Landscape Architect with Anderson Johnson Associates, thanked the Council for
its consideration. He reported the proposal before the Council was for a nine lane running track, a
synthetic football field within the track, a practice field adjacent to the track and the four light
poles, flag poles, scoreboard, plazas, and fencing. He stated the items that were not included was
any work on the bleachers or the press box. He explained the plans submitted by Bethel
University were rather lengthy and addressed the details of the project.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – APRIL 26, 2021 21
Councilmember Holmes reported the Council does not know anything about the scoreboard. She
supported this item being tabled because the Council did not have enough information regarding
this request.
Councilmember Holden commented she thought Planning Consultant Kansier had stated the
plaza was not included in the plans that were being approved. She indicated she was confused as
well.
Mayor Grant questioned how the Planning Commission approved this request without
understanding the request.
Councilmember Holmes stated she watched the Planning Commission meeting and wrote down
her questions and noted the Planning Commission did not address the items that were being
approved.
Councilmember Holden indicated she was the Council Liaison at the recent Planning
Commission meeting and the items that were presented to the Commission were the track, the turf
field, the practice field and the lighting. She stated she too was confused as to what was being
approved.
Mr. Pomeroy reported he was surprised by this conversation. He explained he has had his plans
into the City since February and noted a neighborhood meeting was held. He indicated he has
answered questions of staff and everything was spelled out in the plans. He stated he was not
trying to hide anything within this project. He commented the lighting was typically the issue that
requires the most investigation but noted all foot candle information had been provided to the
City.
Councilmember Holden agreed the Council had the plans, but did not understand why staff was
stating Bethel would not be moving forward with some aspects of the plan.
Mr. Pomeroy indicated in this instance, staff was incorrect. He noted the information was
presented correctly at the Planning Commission meeting.
Planning Consultant Kansier explained she does not have plans for the scoreboard. She stated
she called today to get additional information and was told the sound system was not moving
forward.
Mr. Pomeroy commented this project could come down to budgeting but noted all items would
be included.
Councilmember Holden questioned where the plans for the scoreboard were.
Mr. Pomeroy reported these plans were detailed on Sheet C 2.3 detail 12, noting the exact type
was specified. He commented the general height and I-beam size was spelled out on this page. He
indicated he originally submitted his plans to Mike Mrosla.
Councilmember Holden asked if the original scoreboard was being replaced.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – APRIL 26, 2021 22
Mr. Pomeroy stated the college would be replacing the existing scoreboard with a new
scoreboard that had video technology. He noted the existing scoreboard was 20 feet high and 20
feet wide. He understood the new scoreboard would be 25 feet high and 25 feet wide. He reported
the back of the scoreboard would face the railroad tracks and residential area. He indicated the
existing scoreboard was approximately 240 feet from the property line and the new scoreboard
would be about 35 feet closer to the SRC building.
Mayor Grant questioned what the City’s timeline was for approval.
Planning Consultant Kansier explained the 60 day time limit for this request ends May 23,
2021.
Mayor Grant inquired if the Council wants to move forward with this item.
Councilmember Scott stated he did not understand what the Council was debating given the fact
one of the conditions for approval required the project to conform with all City Code
requirements.
Councilmember Holmes reported she did not understand what the Council was being asked to
approve. She understood these plans were provided to the City but staff has since changed. She
expressed concern with the fact the Council had zero information regarding the scoreboard and
would like clarification on this matter. She stated the Council was used to receiving complete
presentations on Planning Cases and what was being requested. She supported this matter being
tabled to allow for a more complete presentation to be made to the City Council.
Councilmember Holden agreed stating she would like to find out more information about the
scoreboard, the fencing height, etc.
Councilmember Holmes recommended action on this item be tabled to the next City Council
meeting.
Mr. Pomeroy stated the perimeter fence would be a black six foot high chain link fence. He
understood the presentation needed to be more succinct but he didn’t see where he was at fault.
He reported he has a very defined construction schedule and he has to get this project completed
this summer.
Mayor Grant asked if the Council would be open to discussing this one item at a Special City
Council meeting. He then noted the Council had met the time limit for their meeting extension
and asked if the Council wanted to take action on this items this evening or delay them both to a
Special City Council meeting.
Councilmember Scott supported the Council taking action on Items C and D at this meeting.
Councilmember Holmes stated she wanted to accommodate the applicant, but she would much
appreciate a detailed presentation on this item 10C and 10D at a Special City Council meeting
given the late hour.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – APRIL 26, 2021 23
Councilmember Holden supported this recommendation, noting she needed more information on
Item 10C.

City Administrator Perrault explained the Lexington Station project had a very tight timeline.
He indicated the applicant was proposing to close on this property and needed action from the
City.

action on Resolution #2021-026 – Approving a Conditional Use Permit

D. Amended Planned Unit Development and Site Plan Review – 3787 Lexington
Avenue – PC 21-004 (Lexington Station Phase 3)
Planning Consultant Kansier stated following the public hearing under agenda item No. 9D, the
next step in the process is to amend the Planned Unit Development and Site Plan Review for the
property at 3787 Lexington Avenue. Staff provided the following Findings of Fact:
1. The Lexington Station development located at 3787, 3833 and 3845 Lexington Avenue
operates under a Planned Unit Development (PUD) that was originally approved in 2013.
2. New building construction or site modification identified on the approved Master Plan
requires the submittal of a Site Plan Review application prior to construction.
3. For building construction or site modifications not included on the Master Plan, a PUD
Amendment is required.
4. The proposed change to the Master Plan from two buildings to a single building is a
significant change to the current Master Plan.
5. A public hearing for a PUD Amendment request is required before the request can be
brought before the City Council.
6. The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on April 7, 2021.
Planning Consultant Kansier explained the Planning Commission reviewed this application at
their April 7, 2021 meeting. At that time, they recommended approval of the Boston Scientific
application for an Amended Planned Unit and Site Plan by a 6-0 vote. The following are motion
language options for the City Council to consider. Staff recommended approval of Planning Case
21-004 for a PUD Amendment and Site Plan Review of Lexington Station III at 3787 Lexington
Avenue, based on the findings of fact and the submitted plans, subject to the following conditions:
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – APRIL 26, 2021 24
1. All conditions of the original Planned Unit Development shall remain in full force and
effect.
2. Prior to the issuance of a grading permit, all items identified in the March 4, 2021
Engineering Division memo shall be addressed. All comments shall be adopted herein by
reference.
3. The project shall be completed in accordance with the plans submitted as amended by the
conditions of approval. Any significant changes to these plans, as determined by the City
Planner, shall require review and approval by the Planning Commission and City Council.
4. The proposed structures shall conform to all other regulations in the City Code.
5. A Grading and Erosion permit shall be obtained from the city’s Engineering Division prior
to commencing any grading, land disturbance or utility activities. The Applicant shall be
responsible for obtaining any permits necessary from other agencies, including but not
limited to, MPCA, Rice Creek Watershed District, and Ramsey County prior to the start of
any site activities.
6. Heavy duty silt fence and adequate erosion control around the entire construction site shall
be required and maintained by the Developer during construction to ensure that sediment
and storm water does not leave the project site.
7. The Applicant shall be responsible for protecting the proposed on-site storm sewer
infrastructure and components and any existing storm sewer from exposure to any and all
stormwater runoff, sediments and debris during all construction activities.
8. Prior to the issuance of a building permit, a landscape financial security equal to 125% of
the cost of the landscaping to be installed on the site shall be submitted. The Applicant
must submit a detailed cost estimate for the landscaping so staff can determine the final
amount. Landscape financial security shall be held for two full growing seasons.
9. Prior to the issuance of a building permit, the Applicant shall submit floor plans for review
by staff.
10. Separate sign permits shall be submitted for all signs on the site.
Planning Consultant Kansier reviewed the options available to the City Council on this matter:
1. Recommend Approval with Conditions
2. Recommend Approval as Submitted
3. Recommend Denial
4. Table
Councilmember Holmes discussed the sidewalk along Lexington Avenue at Lexington Station
Phases 1 and 2. She questioned if Phase 3 would have sidewalk.
Planning Consultant Kansier reported a sidewalk was included in the County’s plans along
Lexington Avenue.
Councilmember Holden questioned if there was a sidewalk to the building for bicyclists or
pedestrians. She recommended a trail or sidewalk be considered from Lexington Avenue into the
parking lot.
Dan Rea, Kensington, stated this was brought up at the Planning Commission meeting and noted
the plan was to bring an extension of the sidewalk in the County right-of-way into the site.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – APRIL 26, 2021 25
Councilmember Holden recommended a bicycle rack be required at the building entrance.
Mr. Rea reported a bike rack would be included.
Councilmember Holmes questioned how snow removal on this site would be managed given the
limited amount of parking onsite.
Mr. Rea explained there would be some snow piling in the southeast corner and along the
southern property line. He commented further on how the snow piles would not hinder any truck
movement on the site.
Councilmember Holden thanked the developer for having windows on the south side of the
building. She inquired if the monument and wall signs for this building was comparable to the
signs on the other Lexington Station phases.
Planning Consultant Kansier reported the monument sign was very similar but noted she was
unsure if the wall sign was comparable.
Mr. Rea discussed the proposed signage that would make up the 180 square foot wall sign. He
reported he would be seeking a separate sign permit from the City. He indicated 180 square feet
would be smaller than the Cub Foods sign down the street.
Councilmember Holden recommended Condition 11 be added to require the applicant to
construct a sidewalk connection from Lexington Avenue to the parking lot.
Mayor Grant asked if the Council should require the applicant to construct a sidewalk along
Lexington Avenue.
Planning Consultant Kansier reported this sidewalk was included in the County’s plans for
Lexington Avenue.
Councilmember Holden indicated she did not believe the City could require the applicant to
construct a sidewalk in County right-of-way.
City Attorney Jamnik reported if the Council puts a condition in the approval, the agreement
will then address the connectivity from the Lexington Avenue sidewalk constructed by the County
into this development. He indicated this would be a sufficient way to address this concern.
MOTION: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember Holmes seconded a
motion to approve Planning Case 21-004 for a PUD Amendment and Site Plan
Review of Lexington Station III at 3787 Lexington Avenue, based on the
findings of fact and submitted plans, and the ten (10) conditions in the April
26, 2021, Report to the City Council. The motion carried (4-0).

AMENDMENT: Councilmember Holden moved and Mayor Grant seconded a motion to
add Condition 12 requiring the applicant to install a bike rack near the
entrance of the building.
A roll call vote was taken. The amendment carried (4-0).

MEMORANDUM
DATE: May 10, 2021
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
Dave Perrault, City Administrator
FROM: David Swearingen, Interim Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Professional Services Amendment for Hamline Avenue Crosswalks and Shorewood
Drive Drainage Improvements
Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source:
$210,000 $231,152.70 PIR, Ramsey County Participation
& Surface Water
Council Should Consider
Motion to approve, table, or deny the following:
• Professional services amendment with HR Green in the amount of $17,536 for the Hamline
Crosswalks and Shorewood Drive Drainage Improvements.
All items need a simple majority for action unless otherwise noted.
Background/Discussion
On February 25, 2019, the City Council approved a professional services contract with HR Green
for Hamline Avenue Crosswalk Improvements. On February 24, 2020, the City Council approved
a professional services agreement with HR Green for the design of the City Hall Parking Lot &
Shorewood Drive Drainage Improvements which would also include the Hamline Avenue
Crosswalks all in one plan set. On December 14, 2020, the City Council amended the professional
services agreement to split the plans into two separate plans, one of which is the presented
Hamline Avenue Crosswalks and Shorewood Drive Drainage Improvements.
With the recent departure of the former Arden Hills Public Works Director and the Assistant City
Engineer no longer available, City’s staff capacity is limited compared to the initial proposal by
HR Green which included time spent by City staff. Therefore, an amendment to professional
Page 2 of 2
services (Attachment A) is recommended by staff to maintain quality services through the entirety
of the project.
Budget Impact
The initial proposal provided by HR Green included fees of $45,762 for design and $7,234 for
construction observation, for a total of $52,996 in consulting fees for the project. The proposed
amendment for changes to the scope of work has a total of $17,536 bringing the total Design and
Construction Contract with HR Green to $70,532. Project funding is provided by the PIR fund,
Ramsey County participation and surface water fund.
Project Budget:
Hamline Ave Crosswalks $120,000.00 (estimated $60,000 Ramsey County participation)
Shorewood Drive Drainage $ 90,000.00
Budget Total $210,000.00
Actual Costs:

Version2.3 5.3.2021
6.11 Governing Law and Jurisdiction
The CLIENT and the COMPANY agree that this AGREEMENT and any legal actions concerning its validity,
interpretation and performance shall be governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota without regard to any
conflict of law provisions, which may apply the laws of other jurisdictions.
It is further agreed that any legal action between the CLIENT and the COMPANY arising out of this
AGREEMENT or the performance of the services shall be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in the
State of Illinois.
6.12 Attorney’s Fees
If litigation arises relating to this AGREEMENT, the Court in such litigation shall award reasonable costs and
expenses, including attorney fees, to the prevailing party.
6.13 Ownership of Instruments of Service
All reports, plans, specifications, field data, field notes, laboratory test data, calculations, estimates and other
documents including all documents on electronic media prepared by COMPANY as instruments of service shall
remain the property of COMPANY. COMPANY shall retain these records for a period of five (5) years following
completion/submission of the records, during which period they will be made available to the CLIENT at all
reasonable times.
6.14 Reuse of Documents
All project documents including, but not limited to, plans and specifications furnished by COMPANY under this
project are intended for use on this project only. Any reuse, without specific written verification or adoption by
COMPANY, shall be at the CLIENT's sole risk, and CLIENT shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless
COMPANY from all claims, damages and expenses including attorneys’ fees arising out of or resulting
therefrom.
Under no circumstances shall delivery of electronic files for use by the CLIENT be deemed a sale by the
COMPANY, and the COMPANY makes no warranties, either express or implied, of merchantability and fitness
for any particular purpose. In no event shall the COMPANY be liable for indirect or consequential damages as
a result of the CLIENT’s use or reuse of the electronic files.
6.15 Failure to Abide by Design Documents or To Obtain Guidance
The CLIENT agrees that it would be unfair to hold COMPANY liable for problems that might occur should
COMPANY’S plans or specifications not be followed, or for problems resulting from others' failure to obtain
and/or follow COMPANY’S guidance with respect to any errors, omissions, inconsistencies, ambiguities or
conflicts which are detected or alleged to exist in or as a consequence of implementing COMPANY’S plans,
specifications or other instruments of service. Accordingly, the CLIENT waives any claim against COMPANY,
and agrees to defend, indemnify and hold COMPANY harmless from any claim for injury or losses that results
from failure to follow COMPANY’S plans or specifications.
6.16 Opinion of Probable Construction Cost
As part of the Deliverables, COMPANY may submit to the CLIENT an opinion of probable cost required to
construct work recommended, designed, or specified by COMPANY, if required by CLIENT. COMPANY is not
a construction cost estimator or construction contractor, nor should COMPANY’S rendering an opinion of
probable construction costs be considered equivalent to the nature and extent of service a construction cost
estimator or construction contractor would provide. This requires COMPANY to make a number of assumptions
as to actual conditions that will be encountered on site; the specific decisions of other design professionals
engaged; the means and methods of construction the contractor will employ; the cost and extent of labor,
equipment and materials the contractor will employ; contractor's techniques in determining prices and market
conditions at the time, and other factors over which COMPANY has no control. Given the assumptions which
must be made, COMPANY cannot guarantee the accuracy of its opinions of cost, and in recognition of that fact,
the CLIENT waives any claim against COMPANY relative to the accuracy of COMPANY’S opinion of probable
construction cost.
6.17 Design Information in Electronic Form
Because electronic file information can be easily altered, corrupted, or modified by other parties, either
intentionally or inadvertently, without notice or indication, COMPANY reserves the right to remove itself from its
ownership and/or involvement in the material from each electronic medium not held in its possession. CLIENT
Professional Services Agreement
Hamline Avenue and Shorewood Drive Improvement Project
Job Number: 181582
5/3/2021
Page 8 of 10
Version2.3 5.3.2021
shall retain copies of the work performed by COMPANY in electronic form only for information and use by
CLIENT for the specific purpose for which COMPANY was engaged. Said material shall not be used by CLIENT
or transferred to any other party, for use in other projects, additions to this project, or any other purpose for
which the material was not strictly intended by COMPANY without COMPANY’s express written permission.
Any unauthorized use or reuse or modifications of this material shall be at CLIENT’S sole risk. Furthermore,
the CLIENT agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold COMPANY harmless from all claims, injuries, damages,
losses, expenses, and attorneys’ fees arising out of the modification or reuse of these materials.
The CLIENT recognizes that designs, plans, and data stored on electronic media including, but not limited to
computer disk, magnetic tape, or files transferred via email, may be subject to undetectable alteration and/or
uncontrollable deterioration. The CLIENT, therefore, agrees that COMPANY shall not be liable for the
completeness or accuracy of any materials provided on electronic media after a 30-day inspection period, during
which time COMPANY shall correct any errors detected by the CLIENT to complete the design in accordance
with the intent of the contract and specifications. After 40 days, at the request of the CLIENT, COMPANY shall
submit a final set of sealed drawings, and any additional services to be performed by COMPANY relative to the
submitted electronic materials shall be subject to separate agreement. The CLIENT is aware that differences
may exist between the electronic files delivered and the printed hard-copy construction documents. In the event
of a conflict between the signed construction documents prepared by the COMPANY and electronic files, the
signed or sealed hard-copy construction documents shall govern.
6.18 Information Provided by Others
The CLIENT shall furnish, at the CLIENT’s expense, all information, requirements, reports, data, surveys and
instructions required by this AGREEMENT. The COMPANY may use such information, requirements, reports,
data, surveys and instructions in performing its services and is entitled to rely upon the accuracy and
completeness thereof. The COMPANY shall not be held responsible for any errors or omissions that may arise
as a result of erroneous or incomplete information provided by the CLIENT and/or the CLIENT’s consultants
and contractors.
COMPANY is not responsible for accuracy of any plans, surveys or information of any type including electronic
media prepared by any other consultants, etc. provided to COMPANY for use in preparation of plans. The
CLIENT agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to indemnify and hold harmless the COMPANY from any
damages, liabilities, or costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and defense costs, arising out of or connected
in any way with the services performed by other consultants engaged by the CLIENT.
COMPANY is not responsible for accuracy of topographic surveys provided by others. A field check of a
topographic survey provided by others will not be done under this AGREEMENT unless indicated in the Scope
of Services.
6.19 Force Majeure
The CLIENT agrees that the COMPANY is not responsible for damages arising directly or indirectly from any
delays for causes beyond the COMPANY's control. CLIENT agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold COMPANY,
its consultants, agents, and employees harmless from any and all liability, other than that caused by the
negligent acts, errors, or omissions of COMPANY, arising out of or resulting from the same. For purposes of
this AGREEMENT, such causes include, but are not limited to, strikes or other labor disputes; severe weather
disruptions or other natural disasters or acts of God; fires, riots, war or other emergencies; disease epidemic or
pandemic; failure of any government agency to act in a timely manner; failure of performance by the CLIENT or
the CLIENT’S contractors or consultants; or discovery of any hazardous substances or differing site conditions.
Severe weather disruptions include but are not limited to extensive rain, high winds, snow greater than two (2)
inches and ice. In addition, if the delays resulting from any such causes increase the cost or time required by
the COMPANY to perform its services in an orderly and efficient manner, the COMPANY shall be entitled to a
reasonable adjustment in schedule and compensation.
6.20 Job Site Visits and Safety
Neither the professional activities of COMPANY, nor the presence of COMPANY’S employees and sub-
consultants at a construction site, shall relieve the general contractor and any other entity of their obligations,
duties and responsibilities including, but not limited to, construction means, methods, sequence, techniques or
procedures necessary for performing, superintending or coordinating all portions of the work of construction in
accordance with the contract documents and any health or safety precautions required by any regulatory
agencies. COMPANY and its personnel have no authority to exercise any control over any construction
contractor or other entity or their employees in connection with their work or any health or safety precautions.

Version2.3 5.3.2021
The CLIENT also agrees that the CLIENT, COMPANY and COMPANY’S consultants shall be indemnified and
shall be made additional insureds on the general contractor’s and all subcontractor’s general liability policies on
a primary and non-contributory basis.
6.21 Hazardous Materials
CLIENT hereby understands and agrees that COMPANY has not created nor contributed to the creation or
existence of any or all types of hazardous or toxic wastes, materials, chemical compounds, or substances, or
any other type of environmental hazard or pollution, whether latent or patent, at CLIENT's premises, or in
connection with or related to this project with respect to which COMPANY has been retained to provide
professional services. The compensation to be paid COMPANY for said professional services is in no way
commensurate with, and has not been calculated with reference to, the potential risk of injury or loss which may

MEMORANDUM
DATE: May 10, 2021
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
Dave Perrault, City Administrator
FROM: David Swearingen, Interim Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Lift Station 10 Rehabilitation Project
Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source:
$180,000 $339,400 Sanitary Sewer Fund (Engineer’s Estimate)
Council Should Consider
Motions to approve, table, or deny the following:
• Resolution 2021-027, Approving Plans and Specifications and Ordering
Advertisement for Bids for the Lift Station 10 Project
All items need a simple majority for action unless otherwise noted.
Background/Discussion
The City’s Capital Improvement Program identifies rehabilitation work for Lift Station No. 10
located near the intersection of Cleveland Avenue and County Road E2. The lift station has been
in service for 31 years in the current configuration. Several improvements have been identified,
including the potential need to replace aging pumps, check valves, air release valves and control
panel. This lift station also encounters problems with sewer flow backing up into the upstream
manhole due to the bottom elevation of the lift station wet well having minimal elevation drop
from the upstream gravity sewer.
On June 22, 2020, the City Council approved professional services with Bolton & Menk for
planning, design and construction administration. Since then, plans (Attachment A) and
specifications have been developed and the project is ready for bidding.
The services from Bolton & Menk included an alternatives analysis to evaluate three options for
improvements to Lift Station No. 10.
Page 2 of 2
1. Rehabilitation of the existing lift station ($223,000)
2. Full replacement of the lift station ($419,000)
3. Installation of a grinder type station and force main ($253,000)
Option 1 was chosen to move forward with as it was the most feasible solution at the lowest cost.
Budget Impact
The 2021 - 2025 Capital Improvement Program shows a budget of $180,000 for this
rehabilitation project, which was previously increased from $100,000. Within the technical
memo supplied by Bolton & Menk on October 8, 2020 (Attachment B), this work had an
estimated cost of $223,000 as seen in the table below.
Now that the final plans and specifications have been developed, the most recent engineer’s
estimate is $290,000. The engineer believes this estimate is a bit strong but they’ve been seeing
prices go up for equipment so they’ve included some inflationary costs. Design and Construction
Administration fees for Bolton & Menk are $49,400. Total estimated project cost is $339,400
which will need to be covered by the Sewer Fund. The additional funds needed of $159,400 will
need to be factored in when creating the 2022-2026 CIP plan and determining the 2022 Sewer
rates. Attachment D shows what was included in the 2021-2025 CIP for the Sewer Fund.

MEMORANDUM
Date: October 8, 2020
To: Todd A. Blomstrom, City Engineer/Public Works Director
From: Seth A. Peterson, PE
Subject: Lift Station 10
Arden Hills, Minnesota
Project No.: M20.121694
Introduction
Lift Station 10 is a wastewater pumping station in the City of Arden Hills, located at 3804 North
Cleveland Ave, on the east side of the street and just south of the County Road E2 West and
Cleveland North intersection. The current duplex submersible pump wet well/valve vault
station was constructed in 1989. In the wet well side of the station are two Hydromatic
submersible pumps with 3-horsepower motors, designed to pump 100 gallons per minute each.
Flow exits the station through a 4-inch PVC force main which runs for approximately 976 feet
before discharging into a trunk sewer manhole at the corner of County Road E2 West and New
Brighton Road.
Lift Station 10 is over 30 years old and is in need of rehabilitation. One of the main concerns
with the current configuration is flooding of the upstream manholes that occurs due to the
operating elevations in the existing station. The invert of the gravity pipe which enters the wet
well sits 1.12 feet above the structure invert. This does not allow enough depth f or the pumps
to be adequately submerged per the manufacturer’s recommendations while also having an
operating depth shallow enough to prevent wastewater from backing up the influent gravity
pipe and into the first few upstream manholes during normal operat ion. One of the main goals
of this project is to eliminate or at least minimize this backup.
Based on the City’s comments and additional information about the station provided to Bolton
& Menk, three main options for the project are considered: rehabilitation of the existing lift
station, replacement of the existing submersible station with one of a similar type, or
replacement of the existing station with a small prefabricated grinder station and new small -
diameter force main.

Option 1 - Rehabilitation of the Existing Lift Station
The first option considered for rehab of Lift Station 10 includes replacing the existing pumps
and piping in the wet well and valve vault. Major components associated with this option
include the following:
- Install two new submersible pumps with purposely shallow operating conditions
- Obtain and install new lift station controls and SCADA equipment
- Install new piping in the existing Wet Well and Valve Vault
Based on new pump technology and the right pump selection, the maxi mum number of
possible pump starts per hour could be increased from the standard ten (pump runs every six
minutes) to 30 (pump runs every two minutes). Table 1 below demonstrates that if the starts
per hour are allowed to increase, the standard operating depth (vertical distance between the
All Off and Lead Pump On levels) can decrease. The decrease in the operating depth would
reduce the maximum water level elevation that the station reaches during normal operation
and reduce or possibly eliminate the occurrence of wastewater backing up into upstream
manholes.
Table 1 - Operating Depths*
Starts Per Hour Pump Runtime [min] Volume [ft^3] Design Value [ft]
10 6 20.05 0.71
15 4 13.37 0.47
20 3 10.03 0.35
25 2.4 8.02 0.28
30 2 6.68 0.24
*Based on an assumed 6-foot diameter manhole
The margin between the All Off and the Low Water Level (LWL) can also be adjusted to provide
more available volume in the wet well, which will help even more to decrease the flooding of
manholes upstream. Table 2 below shows the new Lead Pump On elevation based on number
of pump starts per hour and the distance between the All Off and LWL set points.
Through conversation between the City and Bolton & Menk, it was determined that the optimal
acceptable solution is a 3-inch margin between the All Off and LWL set points, and 20 pump
starts allowed per hour. This provides a Lead On elevation of 872.35’, as underlined in Table 2.
Table 2 - Lead Pump On Elevations

With the bottom elevation of the upstream Manhole 2 at 872.44’ and using the proposed
parameters, the lead pump would turn on before wastewater would back up in the gravity pipe
as far as Manhole 2 and the entirety of the gravity pipe would empty into the wet well before
the station shuts off. Table 3, below, details the estimated costs associated with Option 1.
Table 3 - Option 1 Cost Estimate
Item Cost
Mobilization $15,000
Allowance $10,000
Site Grading/Restoration $7,000

Valves, Piping, Misc. $20,000
Construction Subtotal $186,000
Contingencies (20%) $37,000
Construction Total $223,000
Option 2 - Replace the Existing Station
The second option includes constructing a new submersible lift station to replace the existing
station. A new deeper precast wet well would provide a greater distance from the influent
gravity pipe to the bottom of the structure, preventing flooding upstre am. Significant
components include the following:
- Construction of new duplex submersible lift station with precast wet well and valve vault
- Installation of new lift station controls and SCADA equipment
- Installation of two new submersible pumps and piping
- Demolition of existing wet well/valve vault lift station
Based on station operating data from recent years and the need to maintain minimum flow
velocity in the force main, the new submersible pumps would be rated for the same 100 gallon
per minute with a total dynamic head of 33 feet. Based on these parameters, the wet well
would consist of a 6’ diameter precast concrete manhole. However, to prevent the flooding of
the manholes upstream the base elevation of the Lift Station would be 868.5’, 25.5’ below
grade and deeper than the current wet well. Table 4 outlines the estimated costs associated
with Option 2.

Site Work (Grading, Drive, Seeding, etc.) $15,000
Construction Subtotal $349,000
Contingencies (20%) $70,000
Construction Total $419,000
Option 3 - Replace with Submersible Grinder Station
The third option for station rehabilitation consists of replacing the current submersible lift
station with a small prefabricated lift station containing submersible grinder pumps. Details of
the option include the following:
- Purchase and installation of a prefabricated grinder lift station
- Direct drilling of a new ~975-foot PVC force main (two or three-inch) to the existing outfall
- Demolition of existing wet well/valve vault station
A grinder station is a lift station structure that is shipped essentially prefabricated, including
pumps, valving, and internal piping, and is then installed on-site. Typical grinder stations often
include an optional corresponding control panel, but a buyer may choose to have station
controls fabricated and provided separately.
The grinder station basin is usually constructed out of fiberglass or another composite mat erial.
Pumps range in size and are submersible grinder pumps designed to operate in low flow/high
head conditions. As such, they are best suited to pump through a force main that typically
ranges in diameter between one and three inches. At Lift Station 10 a 2-inch PVC force main
would most likely be recommended.
Advantages of installing a grinder station include lower initial and operating costs for the
station itself, and ultimately a more compact and unobtrusive site. This type of design would

Page: 5
work for Lift Station 10 because of the minimal flows that it receives: calculated to be less than
three gallons per minute on average and less than five gallons per minute during peak periods.
Due to the pump design and the need to maintain a minimum flow vel ocity in the force main, a
new 2-inch force main would have to be installed as part of Option 3, probably using a direct
drilling method. Table 5 summarizes the costs associated with Option 3.

Alternative Analysis
The goal of this project is to rehabilitate Lift Station 10, with the secondary goal of preventing
wastewater from backing up the influent gravity sewer pipe and into upstream manholes. All
three option address this issue with varying approaches and costs. Table 6, below, summarizes
the advantages and disadvantages of each option.
Name: Todd A. Blomstrom
Date: October 8, 2020
Page: 6
Table 6 – Summary of Options
Advantages Disadvantages
Option 1
(Rehab
Station)
• Reuses existing infrastructure which
is still in good shape, including
structures and force main
• Minimizes or eliminates flooding in
upstream gravity manholes
• Maintains existing station’s capacity
• Cost-effective
• Requires bypass throughout construction
• Doesn’t address basic structure elevation
issues causing current wastewater backup
Option 2
(Replace
Station)
• Brand new lift station
• Potential to improve site layout
• Reuses force main
• Eliminates flooding in upstream
gravity manholes
• Substantial excavations, site disruption
• Requires either significant alterations to lift
station site or bypass throughout
construction
• May require additional easement
• Most expensive option
Option 3
(Grinder
Station)
• Brand new grinder station
• Potential to improve site layout
• Station sized more appropriately for
flows received (reduced power use)
• Requires either some alterations to site
layout or bypass throughout construction
• Requires new force main to be constructed
• Station capacity would be reduced
compared to existing
Option 1 is the least expensive option and with manipulation of the on/off levels is able to
minimize flooding in the upstream manholes. This option also utilizes the existing
infrastructure that is in good shape and will make the station more consistent with other lift
stations in the City.
