REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
JUNE 12, 2023

Council meeting at 7:00 p.m.
Present: Mayor David Grant, Councilmembers Brenda Holden, Emily Rousseau,
Tena Monson and Tom Fabel
Absent: None
Also present: City Administrator Dave Perrault; Assistant Public Works Director Lucas
Miller; Community Development Director Jessica Jagoe; Finance Director Gayle Bauman;
and Assistant to the City Administrator/City Clerk Julie Hanson
PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
1. APPROVAL OF AGENDA
Councilmember Monson requested Item 5 be addressed prior to Item 2.
Councilmember Fabel requested Item 7D be pulled from the Consent Agenda to be discussed as
Item 8A.
MOTION: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember Rousseau seconded a
motion to approve the meeting agenda as amended. The motion carried (5-0).
5. STAFF COMMENTS
A. TCAAP/Rice Creek Commons Update
City Administrator Perrault stated the JDA met on June 5 and received a refresher on the TRC,
adopted an Energy Committee, approved the communications plan and budget for 2023. In
addition, the JDA reviewed a roadmap for activities. He reported the JDA would meet next on
July 11 in a special worksession to discuss community engagement. He explained the JDA
Advisory Committee met on June 9 with reps from the City and County along with the Developer
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – JUNE 12, 2023 2
and Ehlers. The group discussed updated infrastructure costs, which were upwards of $89 million,
and the County reiterated that outside funding would be needed. The County would be requesting
State bonding in the next cycle. He noted Alatus also presented three different development
scenarios with 1,800, 2,050 and 2,350 units.
Councilmember Holden reported one of the questions that was asked at the JDA meeting was
about walkability. She noted there was a chapter on streetscaping within the TRC. She hoped that
the JDA members would be able to review this chapter in order to understand the streetscaping for
this project.
Councilmember Monson explained the JDA Advisory Committee meeting that was held on June
9 brought forward some of the economic information that the JDA needs to better understand this
development. She reviewed the proposed costs for the project, noting the portion that would have
to be covered by the City. She discussed how the density numbers may be dictated by the height of
buildings and cost for concrete construction. She looked forward to seeing where the JDA goes
from here.
Mayor Grant stated it was interesting that Councilmember Monson was quoting information
from the Advisory Committee meeting given the fact she was not in attendance.
Councilmember Monson explained she had a conversation with Bob Lux about the density
numbers.
Councilmember Holden asked how much of the density concerns were based on the price of
concrete versus the position of the water table on TCAAP. She requested staff investigate this
matter further.
B. Transportation Update
Assistant Public Works Director Miller reported construction would continue on Lexington
Avenue. He stated on June 8 the movement from I-694 eastbound to Lexington Avenue was
closed and this would be in place for two weeks. He explained access to local businesses would
continue to be open, but traffic delays were anticipated at Lexington Avenue and I-694. He
encouraged residents to use County Road E and posted detours.
Assistant Public Works Director Miller explained work has begun on the roundabout at County
Road E and Old Snelling. He stated the first phase of this project includes a closure to the
southern leg of this intersection in order to allow the contractor to install watermain and sanitary
sewer. The goal would be to move to the next phase of this project by mid-July.
Assistant Public Works Director Miller stated Public Works would begin maintenance on the
trails within Floral and Cummings Parks. He anticipated work on these trails would be completed
by mid-July pending any weather delays.
Councilmember Monson asked if the contractor had a timeline for the roundabout project.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – JUNE 12, 2023 3
Assistant Public Works Director Miller reported a loose schedule was in place. He noted phase
one would be completed mid-July and phase two would be completed around Labor Day, which
included the bulk of the roundabout construction, and phase three would be completed by the end
of October.
Councilmember Holden questioned when construction on Lexington Avenue would be done.
Assistant Public Works Director Miller stated he anticipated Lexington Avenue would remain
one lane each way throughout the bulk of the summer.
2. PUBLIC INQUIRIES/INFORMATIONAL
Linda Swanson, 1124 Ingerson Road, indicated she believed Councilmember Rousseau should
be ashamed of the disrespectful comments she made at the last Council meeting. She stated it
remains to be seen how many accomplishments Councilmember Rousseau would have during her
tenure. She addressed Councilmember Fabel and expressed concern with the fact he gave the
County the okay to have 1,700 to 2,200 units on TCAAP at the expense of Arden Hills residents.
She reported Councilmember Fabel was not properly representing the residents of Arden Hills by
giving the County everything they want without any basis to substantiate the number. She
questioned why everything was so secretive and feared what else Councilmember Fabel was
giving away at the expense of the residents. She was of the opinion the JDA Advisory Committee
meetings should be open to the public.
Donna Wiemann, 1406 Arden View Drive, stated at the JDA meeting last week she asked a
question about the income maximum for the deeply affordable units proposed for TCAAP. She
was told by Commissioner Frethem that this limit would be $37,400 for a family of four. She
noted her other questions to the JDA were no answered. She asked the Council/JDA members
what the County’s best time estimate was for having a TCAAP proposal for the residents of Arden
Hills to review. She commented on how the JDA Advisory Committee was meeting and stated she
did not like the fact that only one Councilmember was meeting with the County, staff and the
developer. She feared this was putting all the power in one person’s hands and was preventing the
duly elected Mayor and other members of the City Council from being a part of these discussions.
Mayor Grant requested staff review the meeting tape in order to respond to the questions that
were raised by the public.
Robert Bonine, 3274 Katie Lane, provided the Council with a handout. He stated a complaint
was filed against his property address. He requested he be added to a future worksession in order
to allow for further conversation regarding the concern with his property.
Mayor Grant and Councilmember Holden supported the Council discussing this property
further at a future worksession.
3. RESPONSE TO PUBLIC INQUIRIES
None.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – JUNE 12, 2023 4
4. PUBLIC PRESENTATIONS
A. 2022 Financial Statements
Aaron Nielsen, MMKR, reviewed the 2022 financial statements with the Council and offered the
City a clean or unmodified opinion on the 2022 audit. He provided a summary on the City’s
governmental funds, enterprise funds and fund balances. He commended the City for its stable
and strong financial position and asked for comments or questions on the 2022 audit.
Mayor Grant stated it was not unusual for a City the size of Arden Hills to have a notation within
the audit regarding the segregation of duties. He commented on the City’s fund balance policy,
noting the City carried a balance of 50%.
Councilmember Fabel commented on the City’s expense for public safety stating this was the
City’s largest expense. He asked if staff had any comparison information on how Arden Hills
compares to other cities of like size when it comes to public safety expenditures on an absolute
and per capita basis.
Mr. Nielsen explained the management report summarizes public safety expenditures state-wide
on a per capita basis. He reviewed this information in further detail with the Council.
Mayor Grant thanked Mr. Nielsen for his presentation on the audit.
6. APPROVAL OF MINUTES
A. May 15 , 2023, City Council Work Session
B. May 22 , 2023, Regular City Council

worksession minutes.
Councilmember Holden noted she discussed minor corrections to the May 22 Council minutes
with the City Clerk.
Councilmember Monson explained she spoke with staff regarding a minor change to the May 15
worksession minutes.
MOTION: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember Monson seconded a
motion to approve the May 15, 2023, City Council Work Session meeting
minutes as amended; and the May 22, 2023, Regular City Council meeting

8. PULLED CONSENT ITEMS
A. Motion To Approve a Request For Proposals (RFP) For Civil And
Prosecution Legal Services
City Administrator Perrault stated the City’s current civil attorney, Campbell Knutson, has
served the City for a number of years, and their lead attorney for the City, Joel Jamnik, previously
announced his retirement but is continuing to work with Arden Hills through the end of the year.
It has been six years since the City previously sought proposals for legal services, and it is good
practice to do so every so often. Staff has drafted an RFP and once approved, Staff will have it
posted on the League’s proposals portal as well as send it to known firms that provide legal
services for municipalities. A proposed schedule may change pending availability of firms, Staff
and City Council.
-July 7th – proposals due
-July 28th – complete review of proposals
-Week of August 21st – Staff interviews with firms
-Week of September 11th – Council interviews with firms
-September 25th – Council approves selected firm
City Administrator Perrault explained the process is anticipated to be similar to the previous
process, whereas, Staff will review proposals and make a Staff recommendation to the City
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – JUNE 12, 2023 6
Council. Firms deemed not to be qualified or not able to have the capacity for the City will not be
brought forward for consideration. It is anticipated the start date will be January 1, 2024 for the
new firm.
Councilmember Fabel recommended an attorney qualification be added that responders shall
include their total billing hours in 2021 and 2022. He stated this information would provide the
City with information on the billing rate and hours being charged to cities.
MOTION: Councilmember Fabel moved and Councilmember Rousseau seconded a
motion to approve a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Civil and Prosecution
Legal Services as amended requesting staff ask for total billed hours and rate
being charged to cities for 2021 and 2022.
Councilmember Holden asked if this would create additional work for the attorneys and
questioned how the City would be able to determine who was or was not padding their hours.
Councilmember Fabel explained he would not be reviewing bills, but because he has been in the
practice for 45 years, he would be able to determine the number of hours the attorneys were
working each week, hour and month.
Councilmember Monson called the question.
The motion carried (5-0).
9. PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. Quarterly Special Assessments for Delinquent Utilities
Finance Director Bauman stated water customers whose accounts are 90 days past due were
informed that the City intends to certify delinquent charges to Ramsey County to be collected with
property taxes. These customers have the right to a hearing in front of the City Council to discuss
this matter prior to certification.
Mayor Grant opened the public hearing at 7:56 p.m.
With no one coming forward to speak, Mayor Grant closed the public hearing at 7:57 p.m.
10. NEW BUSINESS
A. Resolution 2023-031 Adopting And Confirming Quarterly Special
Assessments For Delinquent Utilities
Finance Director Bauman stated delinquent utility amounts are certified to Ramsey County
quarterly. A list of utility accounts with a delinquent balance was compiled and notices dated May
4, 2023 were mailed. These customers were informed of their delinquent status and were asked to
make payment of the delinquent balance by June 5, 2023. Utility accounts with an unpaid
delinquent balance would be certified to Ramsey County to be added to property taxes payable in
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – JUNE 12, 2023 7
2024. The certification amount is equal to the unpaid delinquent balance plus an eight percent
penalty. The list of remaining delinquent utility accounts was reviewed. The City will request that
Ramsey County levy the delinquent balances against the respective properties.
MOTION: Councilmember Monson moved and Councilmember Holden seconded a
motion to adopt Resolution 2023-031 – Adopting and Confirming Quarterly
Special Assessments for Delinquent Utilities. The motion carried (5-0).
B. Resolution 2023-032 Accepting Bid and Authorizing Award Of Contract To
Peterson Companies, Inc. – Arden Manor Park and Floral Park
Improvements Project
Chris Harrington, HR Green, stated on April 12, 2021, City Council approved Resolution 2021-
017 supporting the City’s application for a CDBG funding opportunity for Arden Manor Park. At
a Work Session on November 15, 2021, Council discussed the proposed improvements at Arden
Manor Park and Floral Park Hardcourt. At the November 22, 2021 Council meeting, the PSA with
HR Green was approved to design and construct Arden Manor Park and Floral Park Hardcourt.
On October 24, 2022, Council approved the PSA Amendment with HR Green to add the Floral
Park playground structures and park equipment to the overall project. On May 15, 2023, the 95%
design plans were presented to Council at the Work Session for final comments. On May 22,
2023, the plans and specifications were approved by the City Council and pursuant of Resolution
2023-027, bids were opened on June 5, 2023.
Mr. Harrington explained primary elements of improvements at each park are play structure
replacement, play structure container replacement, hard court rehabilitation, trail improvements,
ADA improvements, shelter improvements and other amenities. If the project is to move forward,
the anticipated schedule would allow for construction to start this summer and final completion
late Fall of 2023.
Mr. Harrington reviewed the three bids that were received. All of the bids are higher than the
Engineer’s estimate which is $489,617.63. The low bid is 67% higher than the engineer’s
estimate. Council may decide to approve the park improvement items as presented or Council may
choose to table this item to discuss at an upcoming Work Session. If Council chooses to table the
item, discussion can be had about downsizing the scope of the project by removing certain items
proposed in the current plan. Because there is not an existing contract signed with the low-bidder
(Peterson Companies), they would also have to agree to a modified change in scope of the project
for it to move forward. The CDBG funds related to Arden Manor Park must be used in 2023.
Councilmember Rousseau noted this bid was requested back in April. She questioned why the
amounts came in so much higher than anticipated.
Mr. Harrington reported the range between the bids was a concern to him. He noted he looked
into what could be causing the prices to be higher, which included dewatering. He explained
excavation near sensitive infrastructure was also a concern. He stated that neither dewatering nor
excavation near sensitive infrastructure ended up having any major impact on the bid price. He
stated there was volatility in pricing in the construction environment and he believed this was the
major source for the high bids. In addition, he believed he under adjusted for inflation.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – JUNE 12, 2023 8
Councilmember Fabel commented the letter of explanation states the engineer’s estimate did not
adequately represent approximately construction costs. He asked if this estimate was from HR
Green.
Mr. Harrington reported this was the case.
Councilmember Holden stated Arden Manor seems to have the significant increase, while Floral
did not. She questioned why this occurred.
Mr. Harrington indicated he was uncertain as to why this occurred in the bids.
Councilmember Holden asked if this project would only cover the cost to install the playground
equipment.
Assistant Public Works Director Miller stated this also included the cost for drain tile and hard
court, along with a significant amount of sand under the hard court.
Mayor Grant inquired why the bid for Arden Manor was considered heavy construction.
Mr. Harrington stated he was uncertain why this determination was made. He noted he could
look into this further and would report back to the Council.
Mayor Grant questioned if a mistake was made in the bid.
Mr. Harrington suggested the Council discuss how to reduce costs at a future worksession.
Mayor Grant stated hindsight was always 20/20. He indicated it may have benefited the City to
bid the parks separately instead of jointly as one project.
Councilmember Monson commented at the worksession when this project was discussed the
Council asked HR Green how comfortable they were with the construction costs. She recalled
being told she should be comfortable with the construction costs. She talked about separating
specific line items out in order to put this project in a better position to be bid. She noted this
discussion was dismissed and the City was now in the exact position she feared. She was
disappointed this was the position the City was in. She recommended action on this item be tabled
to allow further discussions to be held on the construction costs and expense of this project. It was
her hope the City could find creative solutions in order to have these playgrounds completed for
the community.
Councilmember Holden questioned what would happen if these projects were rebid and would
the bid be rewritten by HR Green.
Mr. Harrington did not believe the bid documents were poorly assembled. He did not believe
there were any items the contractor will have to manage that aren’t addressed in the plans and
specs.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – JUNE 12, 2023 9
Councilmember Holden stated this meant if the project were rebid, it would be done exactly the
same way with the exact same language.
Mr. Harrington commented that yes, the only changes he may make to the bid would have to do
with inflation and mobilization in order to provide the City with a better cost estimate for the
project.
Councilmember Monson explained the engineer’s estimate came from HR Green and it was
woefully underbid. She assumed if the project were rebid, the costs would remain similar. She
suggested the City look to see if the hard courts could be completed separately, or that the line
items be for the project be further separated in order to find cost savings for the City. She
recommended this project be further discussed by the Council at a future worksession meeting.
Mr. Harrington indicated he could discuss the project expenditures further with the Council at a
future worksession meeting in order to meet the budget.
Councilmember Rousseau commented if this project were rebid, how would this affect the
project timeline.
Mr. Harrington anticipated the project could still be completed by this fall.
Councilmember Rousseau asked when the grant for Arden Manor had to be used.
Assistant Public Works Director Miller indicated the grant funds had to be used in 2023.
Councilmember Fabel stated he was troubled by the poor estimates the City received from HR
Green, especially given the amount of dollars that were being spent on engineering fees for this
project with HR Green.
Mayor Grant explained the Council would not be able to effectively address this issue at this
meeting. He recommended the topic be further addressed at a future worksession.
MOTION: Councilmember Monson moved and Councilmember Holden seconded a
motion to table action on this item to the Tuesday, June 20, 2023 worksession.
The motion carried (5-0).
11. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
None.
12. COUNCIL COMMENTS
Councilmember Monson requested the agenda be changed to always have Staff Comments prior
to Public Comments going forward.
Mayor Grant noted this request could be addressed when the Council meets with the League of
Minnesota Cities.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – JUNE 12, 2023 10
Councilmember Fabel stated he concurred with Councilmember Monson and had no further
comments.
Councilmember Holden explained she was asked what the City would be doing with its public
safety money from the State. She asked that this be discussed by the Council at a future
worksession.
City Administrator Perrault commented staff has not discussed this formally but noted this
topic would be reviewed when the CIP was addressed in July.
Councilmember Holden asked about a recycling report from Republic.
Councilmember Holden reported in the past the TCAAP staff meetings could be attended by the
public.
Councilmember Rousseau encouraged the Council to let residents and business owners know
that the Economic Development Commission was accepting applications at this time for
members.
Councilmember Rousseau stated the Planning Commission recommended approval of a zoning
amendment for the thumb property with a vote of 6-0-1 (with one Commissioner abstaining). She
thanked staff for all of their work on this item.
Mayor Grant stated he attended the Rabata grand opening. He noted this was a book store as
well as a gathering and educational space.
Mayor Grant explained he was told the City would be getting LGA next year.
ADJOURN
MOTION: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember Fabel seconded a motion
to adjourn. The motion carried (5-0).
Mayor Grant adjourned the Regular City Council Meeting at 8:22 p.m.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: June 26, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
Dave Perrault, City Administrator
FROM: Matt Sather (Deputy Fire Chief, Arden Hills Emergency Manager)
Jeff Frid (Public Works Superintendent, Emergency Management Liaison)
SUBJECT: Ramsey County Comprehensive Emergency Operations Plan (CEOP) Adoption
Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source:
N/A N/A N/A
Council Should Consider
Motion to approve, table or deny the following:
• Resolution 2023-036 adopting the updated Ramsey County Comprehensive Emergency
Operations Plan (CEOP).
Background/Discussion
On June 13, 2023 the Ramsey County Board approved a resolution adopting the updated CEOP.
Please reference the link to view the plan.
https://www.ramseycounty.us/sites/default/files/Public%20Safety%20and%20Law/CEOP%20full
%20plan-%20Public.pdf
Ramsey County Emergency Management and Homeland Security (EMHS), after many months of
work with partners, communities, and their contractor, has distributed the updated Countywide
CEOP and it is ready for adoption by Ramsey County Cities who wish to adopt the plan.
If we adopt the plan, the benefits are:
For all who re-adopt the countywide CEOP, Ramsey County EMHS will continue to maintain the
plan, obtain compliance documentation from the state of MN HSEM (MN Homeland Security and
Emergency Management), and provide the various backbone services they currently do. Their
contracts and agreements are negotiated such that jurisdictions that are covered by this countywide
CEOP are included – so we do not pay extra. Among the benefits of being part of the common
county plan are:
Page 2 of 2
- We all operate under a common concept of operations. This simplifies interactions between
us and streamlines grants, PA, etc.
- Common plan jurisdictions can apply for projects by application to the Ramsey County
aspects of the UASI (Urban Areas Security Initiative) program. If funding in that program
is insufficient, Ramsey County EMHS automatically adds city projects to the UASI
competitive pool and the SHSGP pool without the city having to do the detailed state
application
- Ramsey County EMHS handles all reviews from the HSEM RPC (Regional Program
Coordinator) and RRC 6 (Regional Review Committee’s).
- Jurisdictions who are part of the countywide CEOP group will continue to be included
under the cooperative contract agreements for BOLD Planning (software provider) COOP
(Continuity of Operations Plan) system and Crisis Track.
- UASI training and exercise funds will continue to be available to cities without application,
etc.
That said, the law does not require that individual cities adopt the common countywide CEOP.
Should Arden Hills choose to create our own sperate plan, there are some things we will need to
do.
- State and federal law require that each jurisdiction develop and maintain an Emergency
Operations Plan of our own if we do not adopt the CEOP
- We would then be responsible for maintaining our own plan following the four year HSEM
cycle
- Arden Hills will need to provide a copy of that plan, updated each year as required by
HSEM, to Ramsey County EMHS by August 1 of each year.
- Arden Hills would need to apply directly for competitive UASI and SHGP (State Homeland
Security Grant Program) grants rather than through Ramsey County EMHS
- We would be eligible to apply for training and exercise funding from Ramsey County
EMHS
- Ramsey County EMHS contracts with BOLD Planning and Crisis Track specify that
eligible jurisdictions are those covered by the common county CEOP. So, we would lose
access to Ramsey County’s instance of these systems. However, Ramsey County’s
contracts with these companies do allow us to contract with them directly without having to
go to RFP.
It should also be noted that Arden Hills adopted the previous countywide CEOP, as well as, all
other cities in Ramsey County except St. Paul, which has their own office of emergency
management. In talking with other cities, it is anticipated the other cities will also adopt the plan.

RESOLUTION ADOPTING COUNTYWIDE
COMPREHENSIVE EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN (CEOP)
WHEREAS, the Minnesota Legislature created the Council on Local Results and Innovation;
and
WHEREAS, a Comprehensive Emergency Operations Plan (CEOP) is required by several state
and federal laws including Minnesota Statutes Chapter 12, Section 12.25 and Title VI of the PL 100-
707, the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act of 1988 (USC 68, sec, 5121

rewrite of the existing document considering lessons learned from real world emergencies that have
impacted our community over the past several years, reflecting necessary changes to our operational
processes and directs attention to our most vulnerable communities; and
WHEREAS, this CEOP was developed with the input of many affected Ramsey County
agencies and from our municipal partners, as well as outside subject matter experts to better prepare the
city for disasters in the decades to come.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Arden Hills City Council hereby adopts
the newly amended countywide Comprehensive Emergency Operations Plan as the Emergency
Operations Plan for the city; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the Arden Hills City Council authorizes the Mayor, City
Administrator, and the Emergency Manager to promulgate this Comprehensive Emergency Operations
Plan (CEOP) to all city agencies and departments.

Municipal Letter of Promulgation
The City of Arden Hills, City Council formally adopted the 2023 update to the Comprehensive
Emergency Operations Plan (CEOP) on June 26th 2023 via Resolution 2023-036.
The CEOP details all comprehensive emergency management efforts. It is designed to comply
with all applicable federal and state regulations and to provide the policies and procedures to
be followed in dealing with any emergency and/or disaster. The CEOP identifies the hazards
that could affect the county, sets forth the responsibilities of local government departments
and agencies, and outlines a means for local and state resources to be used to support
impacted populations. The planning authorities and responsibilities conveyed to individual local
government departments and agencies are recognized and acknowledged. This plan supersedes
all other municipal CEOPs.
Pursuant to Minnesota Statute Chapter 12, this plan will be reviewed annually and updated as
necessary.
As Emergency Manager, I certify that I have reviewed this document for compliance with state
and federal requirements. I hereby recommend that the City Administrator and Mayor
promulgate the updated 2023 CEOP.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: June 26, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
Dave Perrault, City Administrator
FROM: Jessica Jagoe, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Planning Case #23-010 – No Public Hearing Required
Applicant: New Horizon Academy
Property Location: 4001 Lexington Avenue N.
Request: Sign Standard Adjustment (Site Plan Review)
Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source:
N/A N/A N/A
Council Should Consider
Motion to approve, table, or deny the following:
• Adoption of Resolution 2023-035 for Planning Case 23-010 to allow a Sign Standard
Adjustment through the Site Plan Review process for the property located at 4001
Lexington Avenue N. (“Subject Property”). New Horizon Academy (“The Applicant”) is
proposing to amend the Land O’Lakes Master Sign Plan approved in 2018 to include a
third freestanding sign within the corporate campus. The Applicant is seeking flexibility
through the Site Plan Review process as a sign standard adjustment to allow an additional
freestanding sign along Lexington Avenue.
Background
1. Overview of Request
The Applicant has submitted a land use application for a Site Plan Review, seeking flexibility on
the number and size of freestanding monument signs allowed for the Subject Property. New
Horizon Academy is located within Building C on the Land O’Lakes corporate campus. The
campus consists of 47 acres that is developed with three buildings and two parking lots. The
Subject Property has road frontage along County Road F West and Lexington Avenue. As part
of the headquarter campus expansion in 2018, Land O’Lakes began partnering with New
Page 2 of 9
Horizon Academy to provide onsite childcare to their employees. Since 2020, New Horizon
Academy has seen a decline in enrollment with many campus employees continuing to work
full-time from home. As a result, the two parties have agreed to allow for open enrollment of
childcare services to non-employees.
The Applicant is seeking flexibility to install an additional single-tenant freestanding sign along
Lexington Avenue in order to advertise their childcare facility to the community. As part of this
application, the existing monument sign along County Road F will be refaced to include the New
Horizon Academy name and updated Land O’Lakes logo. No other changes are proposed to
existing signage that was approved in 2018 as part of the Master Sign Plan.
2. Master Sign Plan Background
In 2018, the City Council approved Planning Case #18-027—a Sign Standard Adjustment for a
deviation from the sign code to increase the permitted size of the freestanding monument and
auxiliary signs on the Subject Property. The Master Sign Plan includes four (4) auxiliary signs.
Two (2) auxiliary signs are located internal to the corporate campus and two (2) are located at
the far eastern and western access points adjacent to County Road F. The Applicant is not
proposing any changes to the auxiliary signs as part of this application. Then there are two (2)
approved monument signs that are located along abutting roadways (i.e. County Road F and
Lexington Avenue).
Under the Master Sign Plan, the Subject Property is allowed two freestanding monument signs
each with a total sign area of up to 60 square feet and a sign copy area not to exceed 22.5 square
feet. Flexibility was also granted to allow up to 25 square feet of auxiliary/directional signage on
both monuments that is not to be deducted from the maximum sign copy area allowed.
Additionally, all freestanding signs on the Subject Property are to be externally illuminated. For
clarification between these two terms, “sign area” is defined as the area encompassing the sign
face and sign structure, whereas “sign copy area” is defined as the area around the words or
graphics on the sign.
3. Existing Conditions
The Applicant, New Horizon Academy, is located in Building C on the Subject Property shown
below which is part of the Land O’Lakes Corporate Headquarters. There are three buildings on
the corporate campus. The Subject Property is located in the I-1 Zoning District and is part of
Sign District 6. Sign District 6 allows for freestanding signs with a maximum sign copy area of
45 square feet. All of the Sign Districts allow an additional freestanding sign on properties
abutting more than one public street. If that were the case, each additional freestanding sign may
not exceed half the size of the maximum sign area allowed for a freestanding sign in the
underlying sign district. For the Subject Property, the maximum sign copy area allowed for an
additional freestanding sign would be 22.5 square feet.
All of the auxiliary and freestanding signs as approved under the 2018 Master Sign Plan have
been installed on the Subject Property. As part of this sign proposal, the Applicant is requesting
to install a second nonilluminated freestanding monument sign along Lexington Avenue with up
Page 3 of 9
to 11.68 square feet of sign copy area and a total sign area of 33.36 square feet that includes
directional signage. The proposed freestanding monument sign would be located 244 feet north
of the existing Land O’Lakes sign.

Page 4 of 9
The Applicant is proposing to construct a nonilluminated freestanding monument sign with up to
12 (i.e. rounding 11.68) square feet of sign copy area on the east side of the Subject Property.
This would be the third freestanding sign on the Subject Property. To construct this freestanding
sign, the Applicant is looking for flexibility from the City Code, Chapter 12 – Sign Code through
the Site Plan Review process. Sign Standard Adjustments to the requirements and standards for
the height, number, type, lighting, area, and/or location of a sign or signs established by this
Chapter may be approved with a Site Plan Review or a Planned Unit Development process as
described for in Section 1320 and 1355 of the Zoning Code. Sign District 6, applicable to the
Subject Property, allows for one freestanding sign along each public street that the property
abuts.

1. Number of Freestanding Signs – Flexibility Requested
Sign District 6 allows no more than one freestanding sign on any site except in cases where
properties front more than one public street. For properties that front more than one public street,
an additional freestanding sign may be permitted for each street front provided that each additional
freestanding sign does not exceed half the size of the maximum sign area allowed for a freestanding
sign in the underlying sign district.
*Proposed Reface
of Current sign

Page 5 of 9
The Subject Property shall be permitted two (2) freestanding signs since there is direct road
frontage along County Road F and Lexington Avenue. Under this application, the Applicant is
proposing a third freestanding sign on the Subject Property. The proposed sign would be the
second freestanding monument sign on the east side of the property along Lexington Avenue. The
Applicant is requesting to amend the Master Sign Plan to allow for the installation of a single-
tenant sign for each occupant on the Subject Property rather than a combined multi-tenant sign.
The Applicant’s narrative states “having a combined sign on Lexington Avenue would create
confusion as there would be an assumption that is the entrance to New Horizon Academy”.
Existing Sign – Lexington Ave. Proposed New Freestanding Sign
2. Size of Freestanding Signs - Copy Area – Flexibility Requested
Sign District 6 allows freestanding signs up to 12 feet in height with a sign copy area of no more
than 45 square feet. An additional freestanding sign in Sign District 6 would have a maximum sign
copy area allowed of up to 22.5 square feet.
The proposed freestanding sign along Lexington Avenue is 4.67 feet in height and includes a sign
copy area of 11.69 square feet. The sizing of the proposed freestanding monument sign complies
with the size requirements for Sign District 6 for an additional freestanding sign. However, due
to the request for flexibility to allow a third freestanding monument sign, staff also asks the City
Council to take into consideration the size of the proposed freestanding sign as part of this review.
The proposed freestanding monument sign for New Horizon Academy will be about half the size
of the previously approved signage for the Subject Property.
As part of this application, Land O’Lakes has indicated they will be refacing the existing
freestanding monument sign along County Road F. The purpose of the reface is to update the
Land O’Lakes logo and to provide directional text for New Horizon Academy location in Building
C. For this sign, the Applicant is not requesting any changes to the flexibility of sign area that was
approved in 2018 for the Subject Property. The proposed changes as illustrated in the attachments
would comply with the previously approved Master Sign Plan.

3. Location of Freestanding Signs – Meets Requirements
Freestanding signs shall be located at least five (5) feet from any property line and shall not project
over the property line. The proposed freestanding monument sign for New Horizon Academy will
be located in alignment with the existing Land O’Lakes sign along Lexington Avenue. The
Applicant is proposing the two signs would be spaced approximately 244 feet apart. It should be
noted that the existing Land O’Lakes freestanding sign is approximately 355 feet from the property
line directly to the north. The site plan provided by the Applicant does not specify the distance of
the proposed freestanding sign from either property line. However, the Applicant is not seeking
flexibility from setbacks for the placement of the proposed freestanding monument sign. If
approved, city staff will verify compliance with setbacks as part of the issuance of a future sign
permit and upon final inspection. Planning staff has included a draft recommended condition for
the City Council to consider for setback compliance as part of this review.
B. Sign Standard Adjustments – Section 1260.01
The Applicant requests flexibility for the number and size of signs in order to allow the proposed
freestanding monument sign to be included as part of the Master Sign Plan for the Subject Property.
City Code Section 1260.01, Sign Standard Adjustments states “adjustments to the requirements
and standards for the height, number, type, lighting, area, and/or location of a sign or signs
established by this Chapter may be approved with a Site Plan Review or a Planned Unit
Development process.” In order to approve an adjustment, the City Council will need to make a
determination that the following criteria in the sign code has been satisfied:
1. Subd. 1 There are site conditions which require a sign adjustment to allow the sign to be
reasonably visible from a street immediately adjacent to the site.
According to the Applicant, New Horizon Academy, is seeking a Sign Standard
Adjustment for a second monument sign along Lexington Avenue to distinguish the
entrances to the Land O’Lakes campus and redirect New Horizon Academy clients to the
entrance off of County Road F. Within the corporate campus, New Horizon Academy is
located in Building C which is located off of County Road F. For safety and
convenience, Land O’Lakes has a designated drop-off/pick-up location in front off
Building C. The Applicant has stated that a multi-tenant combined freestanding sign
would create confusion with the Lexington Avenue driveway access being identified as an
entrance to New Horizon Academy. The intent of the second freestanding sign along
Lexington Avenue is to make it more apparent of separate uses to redirect parents to
County Road F.
2. Subd. 2 The sign adjustment will allow a sign of exceptional design or a style that will
enhance the area or that is more consistent with the architecture and design of the site.
According to the Applicant’s narrative, the existing monument sign along County Road F
will be refaced to include New Horizon Academy’s name and the updated logo for Land
O’Lakes. In the future, all other signs along County Road F and Lexington Avenue will
also be updated with the new Land O’Lakes logo. The proposed freestanding sign will
have a smaller sign face and is consistent with Sign District 6 standards. The New
Page 7 of 9
Horizon Academy freestanding sign will feature a silver painted skirted base to maintain
design consistency with the Land O’Lakes freestanding sign along Lexington Avenue.
3. Subd. 3 The sign adjustment will not result in a sign that is inconsistent with the purpose
of the zoning district in which the property is located or the current land use.
According to the Applicant, all proposed freestanding signs, are consistent with the
purpose of the I-1 District and have met the criteria of the sign code for a sign standard
adjustment.
1355.04 Procedural Requirements for Specific Applications
Section 1355.04, Subd. 5 of the Arden Hills Zoning Code states that a public hearing is not required
for Site Plan Review, but neighboring property owners shall be notified. Notification was prepared
in accordance with City policy.

Subject: New Horizon Sign Application on Land O’Lakes Property
As part of the headquarter campus expansion completed in 2018, Land O’Lakes partnered with New Horizon Academy (NHA)
to provide onsite childcare for Land O’Lakes employees. The NHA center is licensed to care for approximately 120 children.
Enrollment was steadily increasing until March 2020 when the impact of COVID 19 forced the HQ campus employees to
work full-time from home. At that point enrollment plummeted to 25 children and since then we have not been able to
increase enrollment beyond 50 children. The impact of employees now having remote or hybrid schedule (work from home
and in the office), onsite childcare is not as valued of an amenity post-Covid. Parents are choosing childcare close to home
for more flexibility.
Since we opened the childcare in 2018, NHA continues to receive many inquiries from non-Land O’Lakes employees about
childcare openings and offerings. With the space already built out for childcare and not needing this space for any other
purpose, Land O’Lakes and NHA agreed to offer the childcare to the community.
A key driver to marketing childcare is visible road signage. In determining the best location to place a NHA sign, we agreed a
sign along Lexington Avenue given the amount of traffic that road handles daily. However, having a combined Land O’Lakes
and NHA at the entrance of the Land O’Lakes drive on Lexington Avenue would be very challenging. NHA is in Building C of
the Land O’Lakes campus which is located on County Road F. For parents/child(ren) safety and convenience, we have drop-
off/pick-up spots in front of Building C close to the NHA entrance. Having a combined sign on Lexington Avenue would
create confusion as there would be an assumption that is the entrance to NHA. We would need to redirect parents to
County Road F, Building C. Therefore, we are proposing the placement of the New Horizon Academy sign 200 feet north of
the Land O’Lakes sign on Lexington Avenue which is south of the Land O’Lakes property line.
The Land O’Lakes is proposing to reskin/reface the Land O’Lakes monument sign on County Road F to include New Horizon
Academy’s name on the sign along with an updated Land O’Lakes logo. At some point in the future, we will be replacing the
Land O’Lakes logo on the other signs along County Road F and Lexington Avenue. All other information on the signs will
remain the same.
The proposed NHA sign on Lexington Avenue satisfies Subd. 1 and Subd. 3 criteria of the Sign Standard Adjustment criteria.
The site plan packet depicts the rendering and location of the proposed NHA sign on Lexington Avenue and the proposed
reskinned Land O’Lakes sign on County Road F.
Both New Horizon Academy and Land O’Lakes would be very appreciative of this application being approved by the city of
Arden Hills.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: June 7, 2023
TO: Planning Commission Chair and Commissioners
FROM: Jessica Jagoe, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Planning Case #23-010 – No Public Hearing Required
Applicant: New Horizon Academy
Property Location: 4001 Lexington Avenue N.
Request: Sign Standard Adjustment (Site Plan Review)
Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source:
N/A N/A N/A
Requested Action
New Horizon Academy (“The Applicant”) has submitted a land use application for a Sign Standard
Adjustment through the Site Plan Review process for the property located at 4001 Lexington
Avenue N. (“Subject Property”). The Applicant is proposing to amend the Land O’Lakes Master
Sign Plan approved in 2018 to include a third freestanding sign within the corporate campus. The
Applicant is seeking flexibility through the Site Plan Review process as a sign standard adjustment
to allow an additional freestanding sign along Lexington Avenue.
Background
1. Overview of Request
The Applicant has submitted a land use application for a Site Plan Review, seeking flexibility on
the number and size of freestanding monument signs allowed for the Subject Property. New
Horizon Academy is located within Building C on the Land O’Lakes corporate campus. The
campus consists of 47 acres that is developed with three buildings and two parking lots. The
Subject Property has road frontage along County Road F West and Lexington Avenue. As part
of the headquarter campus expansion in 2018, Land O’Lakes began partnering with New
Horizon Academy to provide onsite childcare to their employees. Since 2020, New Horizon
Academy has seen a decline in enrollment with many campus employees continuing to work
full-time from home. As a result, the two parties have agreed to allow for open enrollment of
childcare services to non-employees.
Page 2 of 9
The Applicant is seeking flexibility to install an additional single-tenant freestanding sign along
Lexington Avenue in order to advertise their childcare facility to the community. As part of this
application, the existing monument sign along County Road F will be refaced to include the New
Horizon Academy name and updated Land O’Lakes logo. No other changes are proposed to
existing signage that was approved in 2018 as part of the Master Sign Plan.
2.Master Sign Plan Background
In 2018, the City Council approved Planning Case #18-027—a Sign Standard Adjustment for a
deviation from the sign code to increase the permitted size of the freestanding monument and
auxiliary signs on the Subject Property. The Master Sign Plan includes four (4) auxiliary signs.
Two (2) auxiliary signs are located internal to the corporate campus and two (2) are located at
the far eastern and western access points adjacent to County Road F. The Applicant is not
proposing any changes to the auxiliary signs as part of this application. Then there are two (2)
approved monument signs that are located along abutting roadways (i.e. County Road F and
Lexington Avenue).
Under the Master Sign Plan, the Subject Property is allowed two freestanding monument signs
each with a total sign area of up to 60 square feet and a sign copy area not to exceed 22.5 square
feet. Flexibility was also granted to allow up to 25 square feet of auxiliary/directional signage on
both monuments that is not to be deducted from the maximum sign copy area allowed.
Additionally, all freestanding signs on the Subject Property are to be externally illuminated. For
clarification between these two terms, “sign area” is defined as the area encompassing the sign
face and sign structure, whereas “sign copy area” is defined as the area around the words or
graphics on the sign.

4. Existing Conditions
The Applicant, New Horizon Academy, is located in Building C on the Subject Property shown
below which is part of the Land O’Lakes Corporate Headquarters. There are three buildings on
the corporate campus. The Subject Property located in the I-1 Zoning District and is part of Sign
District 6. Sign District 6 allows for freestanding signs with a maximum sign copy area of 45
square feet. All of the Sign Districts allow an additional freestanding sign on properties abutting
more than one public street. If that were the case, each additional freestanding sign may not
exceed half the size of the maximum sign area allowed for a freestanding sign in the underlying
sign district. For the Subject Property, the maximum sign copy area allowed for an additional
freestanding sign would be 22.5 square feet.
All of the auxiliary and freestanding signs as approved under the 2018 Master Sign Plan have
been installed on the Subject Property. As part of this sign proposal, the Applicant is requesting
to install a second nonilluminated freestanding monument sign along Lexington Avenue with up
to 11.68 square feet of sign copy area and a total sign area of 33.36 square feet that includes
directional signage. The proposed freestanding monument sign would be located 244 feet north
of the existing Land O’Lakes sign.

Approvals
1. Site Plan Review
The Applicant is proposing to construct a nonilluminated freestanding monument sign with up to
12 (i.e. rounding 11.68) square feet of sign copy area on the east side of the Subject Property.
This would be the third freestanding sign on the Subject Property. To construct this freestanding

B
Page 4 of 9
sign, the Applicant is looking for flexibility from the City Code, Chapter 12 – Sign Code through
the Site Plan Review process. Sign Standard Adjustments to the requirements and standards for
the height, number, type, lighting, area, and/or location of a sign or signs established by this
Chapter may be approved with a Site Plan Review or a Planned Unit Development process as
described for in Section 1320 and 1355 of the Zoning Code. Sign District 6, applicable to the
Subject Property, allows for one freestanding sign along each public street that the property
abuts.

Plan Evaluation
Chapter 12, Sign Code Review
A.Sign Standards by Sign District – Section 1240.02, Subd. 2 – Freestanding Pole or
Monument Signs
1. Number of Freestanding Signs – Flexibility Requested
Sign District 6 allows no more than one freestanding sign on any site except in cases where
properties front more than one public street. For properties that front more than one public street,
an additional freestanding sign may be permitted for each street front provided that each additional
freestanding sign does not exceed half the size of the maximum sign area allowed for a freestanding
sign in the underlying sign district.
The Subject Property shall be permitted two (2) freestanding signs since there is direct road
frontage along County Road F and Lexington avenue. Under this application, the Applicant is
proposing a third freestanding sign on the Subject Property. The proposed sign would be the
second freestanding monument sign on the east side of the property along Lexington Avenue. The
Page 5 of 9
Applicant is requesting to amend the Master Sign Plan to allow for the installation of a single-
tenant sign for each occupant on the Subject Property rather than a combined multi-tenant sign.
The Applicant’s narrative states “having a combined sign on Lexington Avenue would create
confusion as there would be an assumption that is the entrance to New Horizon Academy”.
Existing Sign – Lexington Ave. Proposed New Freestanding Sign
2. Size of Freestanding Signs - Copy Area – Flexibility Requested
Sign District 6 allows freestanding signs up to 12 feet in height with a sign copy area of no more
than 45 square feet. An additional freestanding sign in Sign District 6 would have a maximum sign
copy area allowed of up to 22.5 square feet.
The proposed freestanding sign along Lexington Avenue is 4.67 feet in height and includes a sign
copy area of 11.69 square feet. The sizing of the proposed freestanding monument sign complies
with the size requirements for Sign District 6 for an additional freestanding sign. However, due
to the request for flexibility to allow a third freestanding monument sign, staff also asks the
Planning Commission to take into consideration the size of the proposed freestanding sign as part
of this review. The proposed freestanding monument sign for New Horizon Academy will be
about half the size of the previously approved signage for the Subject Property.
As part of this application, Land O’Lakes has indicated they will be refacing the existing
freestanding monument sign along County Road F. The purpose of the reface is to update the
Land O’Lakes logo and to provide directional text for New Horizon Academy location in Building
C. For this sign, the Applicant is not requesting any changes to the flexibility of sign area that was
approved in 2018 for the Subject Property. The proposed changes as illustrated in the attachments
would comply with the previously approved Master Sign Plan.
3. Location of Freestanding Signs – Meets Requirements
Freestanding signs shall be located at least five (5) feet from any property line and shall not project
over the property line. The proposed freestanding monument sign for New Horizon Academy will
be located in alignment with the existing Land O’Lakes sign along Lexington Avenue. The

Applicant is proposing the two signs would be spaced approximately 244 feet apart. It should be
noted that the existing Land O’Lakes freestanding sign is approximately 355 feet from the property
line directly to the north. The site plan provided by the Applicant does not specify the distance of
the proposed freestanding sign from either property line. However, the Applicant is not seeking
flexibility from setbacks for the placement of the proposed freestanding monument sign. If
approved, city staff will verify compliance with setbacks as part of the issuance of a future sign
permit and upon final inspection. Planning staff has included a draft recommended condition for
the Planning Commission to consider for setback compliance as part of this review.
B.Sign Standard Adjustments – Section 1260.01
The Applicant requests flexibility for the number and size of signs in order to allow the proposed
freestanding monument sign to be included as part of the Master Sign Plan for the Subject Property.
City Code Section 1260.01, Sign Standard Adjustments states “adjustments to the requirements
and standards for the height, number, type, lighting, area, and/or location of a sign or signs
established by this Chapter may be approved with a Site Plan Review or a Planned Unit
Development process.” In order to approve an adjustment, the Planning Commission will need to
make a determination that the following criteria in the sign code has been satisfied:
1. Subd. 1 There are site conditions which require a sign adjustment to allow the sign to be
reasonably visible from a street immediately adjacent to the site.
According to the Applicant, New Horizon Academy, is seeking a Sign Standard
Adjustment for a second monument sign along Lexington Avenue to distinguish the
entrances to the Land O’Lakes campus and redirect New Horizon Academy clients to the
entrance off of County Road F. Within the corporate campus, New Horizon Academy is
located in Building C which is located off of County Road F. For safety and
convenience, Land O’Lakes has a designated drop-off/pick-up location in front off
Building C. The Applicant has stated that a multi-tenant combined freestanding sign
would create confusion with the Lexington Avenue driveway access being identified as an
entrance to New Horizon Academy. The intent of the second freestanding sign along
Lexington Avenue is to make it more apparent of separate uses to redirect parents to
County Road F.
2. Subd. 2 The sign adjustment will allow a sign of exceptional design or a style that will
enhance the area or that is more consistent with the architecture and design of the site.
According to the Applicant’s narrative, the existing monument sign along County Road F
will be refaced to include New Horizon Academy’s name and the updated logo for Land
O’Lakes. In the future, all other signs along County Road F and Lexington Avenue will
also be updated with the new Land O’Lakes logo. The proposed freestanding sign will
have a smaller sign face and is consistent with Sign District 6 standards. The New
Horizon Academy freestanding sign will feature a silver painted skirted base to maintain
design consistency with the Land O’Lakes freestanding sign along Lexington Avenue.
Page 7 of 9
3. Subd. 3 The sign adjustment will not result in a sign that is inconsistent with the purpose
of the zoning district in which the property is located or the current land use.
According to the Applicant, all proposed freestanding signs, are consistent with the
purpose of the I-1 District and have met the criteria of the sign code for a sign standard
adjustment.
1355.04 Procedural Requirements for Specific Applications
Section 1355.04, Subd. 5 of the Arden Hills Zoning Code states that a public hearing is not required
for Site Plan Review, but neighboring property owners shall be notified. Notification was prepared
in accordance with City policy.

Community Development Director Jagoe reviewed the options available to the Planning
Commission for Planning Case 23-010 for Site Plan Review of a sign standard adjustment at
4001 Lexington Avenue N.:
1. Recommend Approval with Conditions
1) That the project shall be completed in accordance with the plans submitted. Any
significant changes to these plans, as determined by the Community Development
Director, shall require review and approval by the Planning Commission and City
Council.
2) A separate sign permit shall be required for all proposed signage.
3) All signage shall meet all other requirements of Sign District 6.
4) All freestanding signs shall be externally illuminated in accordance with the Master
Sign Plan.
5) Prior to issuance of a sign permit for the New Horizon Academy freestanding
monument sign, the Applicant shall stake the location of the proposed new sign adjacent
to Lexington Avenue. Planning staff shall approve the location meets the minimum
setback of 5 feet from any property line prior to installation.
2. Recommend Approval as Submitted
3. Recommend Denial
4. Table
Chair Vijums opened the floor to Commissioner comments.
Commissioner Weber asked if the sign would be located in Ramsey County right of way.
Community Development Director Jagoe stated the sign would not be within the Ramsey
County right of way and the sign code requires a five foot setback as measured from the property
line for freestanding signs.
Commissioner Weber questioned why this sign was located between County Road F and the
eastern entrance. He suggested the sign be placed at the south side of the eastern entrance.
Community Development Director Jagoe reported the sign designer was in attendance and
could address this comment.
Craig Heitzmann, Electro Signs, explained the proposed sign location provided the greatest
visibility for traffic going north on Lexington Avenue and did not crowd the existing sign. He
reported other sign locations were considered but would require the removal of trees and this was
not allowed per City Code.
Marcia Droege, Land O’Lakes representative, indicated she has had long discussions about the
size and location of the sign. She reported if the sign were larger a second adjustment would be
required. She stated the current monument sign was lower than the New Horizon sign, which
would create good visibility for both north and southbound traffic traveling along Lexington
Avenue.
Chair Vijums asked how far apart the two monument signs would be.
ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – June 7, 2023 4
Community Development Director Jagoe stated the two monument signs would be 244 feet
apart.
Commissioner Weber questioned if any other items had to be considered given the fact a second
use would be added to the Land O’Lakes campus.
Community Development Director Jagoe explained a child care facility was a permitted use
for this zoning district. She commented she did not see any conflict with the Master PUD or land
use.
Commissioner Bjorklund questioned why this could not be counted as a third sign.
Community Development Director Jagoe reported under the Master PUD only two monument
signs were allowed, along with four auxiliary signs. She indicated there was no way to approve a
third monument sign administratively.
Commissioner Mitchell stated she supported the proposed site plan review.
Chair Vijums inquired if this sign would be externally illuminated.
Community Development Director Jagoe indicated the 2018 approval allowed the applicant to
have externally illuminated signs. She noted as proposed, the monument sign would be non-
illuminated.
Chair Vijums commented he was not opposed to the sign, but he feared the visibility would be
difficult at the proposed location.
Commissioner Wicklund moved and Commissioner Weber seconded a motion to
recommend approval of Planning Case 23-010 for a Site Plan Review at 4001 Lexington
Avenue North based on the findings of fact and the submitted plans, as amended by the
conditions in the June 7, 2023, report to the Planning Commission. The motion carried
unanimously (7-0).
B. Planning Case 23-011; Zoning Code Amendment to Chapter 13 to TCAAP
Redevelopment Code in The Campus Commercial Zoning District – Public Hearing
Community Development Director Jagoe stated in November 2012, the City Council approved
a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) with Ramsey County which establishes a partnership between
the City of Arden Hills and Ramsey County with the goal of the remediation and redevelopment
of the 427-acre Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant (TCAAP) site. Under the JPA, the City and
County created a Joint Development Authority (JDA) that is the joint governing entity of the
TCAAP site as allowed by the Joint Powers Act and MN State Laws. The JDA is the authority
responsible for, but not limited to, environmental remediation, elimination of blight,
infrastructure construction and financing, comprehensive planning and zoning, and economic
development and redevelopment. The JDA Board is comprised of two County Commissioners,
two City Councilmembers, and an additional non-elected City appointee as the Chair. Key points
of the JPA are as follows:

Background On April 12, 2021, City Council approved Resolution 2021-017 supporting the City’s application
for a CDBG funding opportunity for Arden Manor Park. At a Work Session on November 15,
2021, Council discussed the proposed improvements at Arden Manor Park and Floral Park
Hardcourt. At the November 22, 2021 Council meeting, the PSA with HR Green was approved
to design and construct Arden Manor Park and Floral Park Hardcourt. On October 24, 2022,
Council approved the PSA Amendment with HR Green to add the Floral Park playground
structures and park equipment to the overall project. On May 15, 2023, the 95% design plans
Page 2 of 3
were presented to Council at the Work Session for final comments. On May 22, 2023, the plans
and specifications were approved by the City Council and pursuant of Resolution 2023-027, bids
were opened on June 5, 2023. At the June 12, 2023 regular Council meeting, City Council
decided to table the item to discuss project scope at the June 20, 2023 Work Session.
Primary elements of improvements at each park are play structure replacement, play structure
container replacement, hard court rehabilitation, trail improvements, ADA improvements, shelter
improvements and other amenities. If the project is to move forward, the anticipated schedule
would allow for construction to start this summer and final completion late Fall of 2023.
There was a total of three bids received. The following table lists the bidders name and their total
bid:
Bidder Total Bid
Peterson Companies, Inc. $816,523.35
Urban Companies LLC $1,001,085.00
Parkstone Contracting LLC $1,323,468.51
All of the bids are higher than the Engineer’s estimate which is $489,617.63. The low bid is 67%
higher than the engineer’s estimate.
Discussion At the June 20, 2023 Work Session, City Council directed staff to remove the Arden Manor hard
court from the scope of the project and pursue future CDBG funds in February 2024 to apply
towards construction in the future.
Staff contacted Peterson Companies, Inc. to discuss the project scope change and agreed to a
change order following award of the contract in the amount of -$115,649.89, which will result in
a new contract amount of $700,873.46.
In the Project Manual, Sections 13.03 of the Arden Hills Supplementary General Conditions and
Section S-32 of the General Requirements state the following:
“There will be no adjustment in unit price for increased or decreased quantities. In addition, the
Owner reserves the right to reduce certain quantities or delete certain items from each section of
the bids as the Owner sees fit, either before or after the Award of Contract.”
By recommendation of the City Attorney, the full contract amount should be awarded as bid and
followed with a change order at a future regular Council meeting. City staff plans to bring the
change order to Council at the July 10, 2023 meeting.

Project Scope:
Please note, installation is based on site being ready prior to our arrival to install play equipment as well as site conditions that have been conveyed
to our organization by the owner/owner's representative and/or ideal conditions existing for a timely completion of your project as quoted. Unless
addressed prior to the installation quote being issued or specifically mentioned herein, any issues that arise that impede the progress/completion of
your project as quoted will result in additional charges.
Weather can change project scheduling in many ways. Take rain for an example. Day, or days, before rain... If weather forecasts show a high
percentage chance for rain that will effect the site conditions, a postponement may be in order. Digging holes, laying certain surfacing materials,
etc., are greatly affected by weather conditions and work may not begin/continue due to weather forecasts. There's the rain days themselves, which
if heavy enough rainfall occurs, makes a site unworkable. Day, or days, after rain... Drying time will be needed after rain and the number of days
needed will vary depending on amount of moisture received. One actual rain day may equal multiple delay days depending on work scheduled to
be done.

- Short term maintenance, check manufacturer's owner's manual recommendations for maintenance and always follow these written instructions.
To help set up short (and ongoing) term maintenance, use the first twelve months to regularly check equipment (such as, but not limited to,
tightening hardware, checking moving features, etc.). Twelve months allows use in all seasons and will provide a better understanding of what will
be necessary for your ongoing maintenance. This short term schedule will be based on the amount of use the play equipment is getting as well as
the type of play event that is being played on. Activities with movement have a more dynamic play which can lead to more maintenance due to the
nature of the motion but also because these types of play events tend to be more popular. Static features may require less attention during the
short term and ongoing maintenance as inspections will determine frequency of maintenance needed for these events. There may be a need for
scheduled lower and higher frequency inspections.
- Ongoing maintenance, check manufacturer's owner's manual recommendations for maintenance and always follow these written instructions.
After short term maintenance period is done and data is collected for that time period, an ongoing schedule should be implemented. The ongoing
maintenance can change with age and greater use. There may be a need for scheduled lower and higher frequency inspections.
Should weekend work be necessary or non-standard hours be worked, please provide a site contact and the best telephone number to reach this
person in case an urgent matter arises requiring immediate attention.

Previous editions are obsolete. Page 1 of 5 ref. Handbook 1344.1
HUD-4010 U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
Federal Labor Standards Provisions Office of Davis-Bacon and Labor Standards
A. APPLICABILITY
The Project or Program to which the construction work covered by this Contract pertains is being assisted by the United States
of America, and the following Federal Labor Standards Provisions are included in this Contract pursuant to the provisions
applicable to such Federal assistance.
(1) MINIMUM WAGES
(i) All laborers and mechanics employed or working upon the site of the work will be paid unconditionally and not less
often than once a week, and without subsequent deduction or rebate on any account (except such payroll deductions
as are permitted by regulations issued by the Secretary of Labor under the Copeland Act (29 CFR Part 3)), the full
amount of wages and bona fide fringe benefits (or cash equivalents thereof) due at time of payment, computed at
rates not less than those contained in the wage determination of the Secretary of Labor (which is attached hereto and
made a part hereof), regardless of any contractual relationship which may be alleged to exist between the contractor
and such laborers and mechanics. Contributions made or costs reasonably anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits
under Section 1(b)(2) of the Davis-Bacon Act on behalf of laborers or mechanics are considered wages paid to such
laborers or mechanics, subject to the provisions of 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(iv); also, regular contributions made or costs
incurred for more than a weekly period (but not less often than quarterly) under plans, funds, or programs, which
cover the particular weekly period, are deemed to be constructively made or incurred during such weekly period.
Such laborers and mechanics shall be paid the appropriate wage rate and fringe benefits on the wage determination
for the classification of work actually performed, without regard to skill, except as provided in 29 CFR 5.5(a)(4).
Laborers or mechanics performing work in more than one classification may be compensated at the rate specified for
each classification for the time actually worked therein: Provided, that the employer’s payroll records accurately set
forth the time spent in each classification in which work is performed. The wage determination (including any
additional classification and wage rates conformed under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(ii) and the Davis-Bacon poster (WH1321))
shall be posted at all times by the contractor and its subcontractors at the site of the work in a prominent and
accessible place, where it can be easily seen by the workers.
(ii) Additional Classifications.
(A) Any class of laborers or mechanics which is not listed in the wage determination and which is to be employed
under the contract shall be classified in conformance with the wage determination. HUD shall approve an
additional classification and wage rate and fringe benefits therefor only when the following criteria have been met:
(1) The work to be performed by the classification requested is not performed by a classification in the wage
determination;
(2) The classification is utilized in the area by the construction industry; and
(3) The proposed wage rate, including any bona fide fringe benefits, bears a reasonable relationship to the wage
rates contained in the wage determination.
(B) If the contractor, the laborers and mechanics to be employed in the classification (if known), or their
representatives, and HUD or its designee agree on the proposed classification and wage rate (including the amount
designated for fringe benefits, where appropriate), a report of the action taken shall be sent by HUD or its
designee to the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division (“Administrator”), Employment Standards
Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, Washington, D.C. 20210. The Administrator, or an authorized
representative, will approve, modify, or disapprove every additional classification action within 30 days of receipt
and so advise HUD or its designee or will notify HUD or its designee within the 30-day period that additional time is
necessary. (Approved by the Office of Management and Budget (“OMB”) under OMB control number 1235-0023.)
(C) In the event the contractor, the laborers or mechanics to be employed in the classification or their representatives,
or HUD or its designee do not agree on the proposed classification and wage rate (including the amount
designated for fringe benefits, where appropriate), HUD or its designee shall refer the questions, including the
views of all interested parties and the recommendation of HUD or its designee, to the Administrator for
determination. The Administrator, or an authorized representative, will issue a determination within 30 days of
receipt and so advise HUD or its designee or will notify HUD or its designee within the 30-day period that
additional time is necessary. (Approved by the Office of Management and Budget under OMB Control Number
1235-0023.)
HUD-4010 (06/2022)
Previous editions are obsolete. Page 2 of 5 ref. Handbook 1344.1
(D) The wage rate (including fringe benefits, where appropriate) determined pursuant to subparagraphs (1)(ii)(B) or (C)
of this paragraph, shall be paid to all workers performing work in the classification under this Contract from the
first day on which work is performed in the classification.
(iii) Whenever the minimum wage rate prescribed in the contract for a class of laborers or mechanics includes a fringe
benefit which is not expressed as an hourly rate, the contractor shall either pay the benefit as stated in the wage
determination or shall pay another bona fide fringe benefit or an hourly cash equivalent thereof.
(iv) If the contractor does not make payments to a trustee or other third person, the contractor may consider as part of the
wages of any laborer or mechanic the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in providing bona fide fringe benefits
under a plan or program, Provided, that the Secretary of Labor has found, upon the written request of the contractor,
that the applicable standards of the Davis-Bacon Act have been met. The Secretary of Labor may require the contractor
to set aside in a separate account assets for the meeting of obligations under the plan or program. (Approved by the
Office of Management and Budget under OMB Control Number 1235-0023.)
(2) Withholding. HUD or its designee shall, upon its own action or upon written request of an authorized representative of the
U.S. Department of Labor, withhold or cause to be withheld from the contractor under this contract or any other Federal
contract with the same prime contractor, or any other Federally-assisted contract subject to Davis-Bacon prevailing wage
requirements which is held by the same prime contractor, so much of the accrued payments or advances as may be
considered necessary to pay laborers and mechanics, including apprentices, trainees and helpers, employed by the
contractor or any subcontractor the full amount of wages required by the contract. In the event of failure to pay any laborer
or mechanic, including any apprentice, trainee or helper, employed or working on the site of the work, all or part of the
wages required by the contract, HUD or its designee may, after written notice to the contractor, sponsor, applicant, or
owner, take such action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any further payment, advance, or guarantee of
funds until such violations have ceased. HUD or its designee may, after written notice to the contractor, disburse such
amounts withheld for and on account of the contractor or subcontractor to the respective employees to whom they are
due. The U.S. Department of Labor shall make such disbursements in the case of direct Davis-Bacon Act contracts.
(3) Payrolls and basic records.
(i) Maintaining Payroll Records. Payrolls and basic records relating thereto shall be maintained by the contractor during
the course of the work and preserved for a period of three years thereafter for all laborers and mechanics working at
the site of the work. Such records shall contain the name, address, and social security number of each such worker, his
or her correct classification(s), hourly rates of wages paid (including rates of contributions or costs anticipated for bona
fide fringe benefits or cash equivalents thereof of the types described in Section 1(b)(2)(B) of the Davis-Bacon Act),
daily and weekly number of hours worked, deductions made, and actual wages paid.
Whenever the Secretary of Labor has found, under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(iv), that the wages of any laborer or mechanic
include the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in providing benefits under a plan or program described in
Section 1(b)(2)(B) of the Davis-Bacon Act, the contractor shall maintain records which show that the commitment to
provide such benefits is enforceable, that the plan or program is financially responsible, and that the plan or program
has been communicated in writing to the laborers or mechanics affected, and records which show the costs anticipated
or the actual cost incurred in providing such benefits.
Contractors employing apprentices or trainees under approved programs shall maintain written evidence of the
registration of apprenticeship programs and certification of trainee programs, the registration of the apprentices and
trainees, and the ratios and wage rates prescribed in the applicable programs. (Approved by the Office of Management
and Budget under OMB Control Numbers 1235-0023 and 1215-0018)
(ii) Certified Payroll Reports.
(A) The contractor shall submit weekly, for each week in which any contract work is performed, a copy of all payrolls
to HUD or its designee if the agency is a party to the contract, but if the agency is not such a party, the contractor
will submit the payrolls to the applicant sponsor, or owner, as the case may be, for transmission to HUD or its
designee. The payrolls submitted shall set out accurately and completely all of the information required to be
maintained under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(3)(i), except that full social security numbers and home addresses shall not be
included on weekly transmittals. Instead, the payrolls only need to include an individually identifying number for
each employee (e.g., the last four digits of the employee’s social security number). The required weekly payroll
information may be submitted in any form desired. Optional Form WH-347 is available for this purpose from the
Wage and Hour Division Web site at https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/forms or its successor site. The prime
contractor is responsible for the submission of copies of payrolls by all subcontractors.
HUD-4010 (06/2022)
Previous editions are obsolete. Page 3 of 5 ref. Handbook 1344.1
Contractors and subcontractors shall maintain the full social security number and current address of each covered
worker, and shall provide them upon request to HUD or its designee if the agency is a party to the contract, but if
the agency is not such a party, the contractor will submit the payrolls to the applicant sponsor, or owner, as the
case may be, for transmission to HUD or its designee, the contractor, or the Wage and Hour Division of the U.S.
Department of Labor for purposes of an investigation or audit of compliance with prevailing wage requirements. It
is not a violation of this subparagraph for a prime contractor to require a subcontractor to provide addresses and
social security numbers to the prime contractor for its own records, without weekly submission to HUD or its
designee. (Approved by the Office of Management and Budget under OMB Control Number 1235-0008.)
(B) Each payroll submitted shall be accompanied by a “Statement of Compliance,” signed by the contractor or
subcontractor or his or her agent who pays or supervises the payment of the persons employed under the contract
and shall certify the following:
(1) That the payroll for the payroll period contains the information required to be provided under 29 CFR
5.5(a)(3)(ii), the appropriate information is being maintained under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(3)(i), and that such
information is correct and complete;
(2) That each laborer or mechanic (including each helper, apprentice, and trainee) employed on the contract
during the payroll period has been paid the full weekly wages earned, without rebate, either directly or
indirectly, and that no deductions have been made either directly or indirectly from the full wages earned,
other than permissible deductions as set forth in 29 CFR Part 3;
(3) That each laborer or mechanic has been paid not less than the applicable wage rates and fringe benefits or
cash equivalents for the classification of work performed, as specified in the applicable wage determination
incorporated into the contract; and
(C) The weekly submission of a properly executed certification set forth on the reverse side of Optional Form WH-347
shall satisfy the requirement for submission of the “Statement of Compliance” required by subparagraph
(a)(3)(ii)(b).
(D) The falsification of any of the above certifications may subject the contractor or subcontractor to civil or criminal
prosecution under Section 1001 of Title 18 and Section 3729 of Title 31 of the United States Code.
(iii) The contractor or subcontractor shall make the records required under subparagraph (a)(3)(i) available for inspection,
copying, or transcription by authorized representatives of HUD or its designee or the U.S. Department of Labor, and
shall permit such representatives to interview employees during working hours on the job. If the contractor or
subcontractor fails to submit the required records or to make them available, HUD or its designee may, after written
notice to the contractor, sponsor, applicant, or owner, take such action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of
any further payment, advance, or guarantee of funds. Furthermore, failure to submit the required records upon
request or to make such records available may be grounds for debarment action pursuant to 29 CFR 5.12.
(4) Apprentices and Trainees.
(i) Apprentices. Apprentices will be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate for the work they performed
when they are employed pursuant to and individually registered in a bona fide apprenticeship program registered with
the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration, Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer
and Labor Services, or with a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Office, or if a person is employed in his or
her first 90 days of probationary employment as an apprentice in such an apprenticeship program, who is not
individually registered in the program, but who has been certified by the Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer
and Labor Services, or a State Apprenticeship Agency (where appropriate), to be eligible for probationary employment
as an apprentice.
The allowable ratio of apprentices to journeymen on the job site in any craft classification shall not be greater than the
ratio permitted to the contractor as to the entire work force under the registered program. Any worker listed on a
payroll at an apprentice wage rate, who is not registered or otherwise employed as stated above, shall be paid not less
than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed. In addition,
any apprentice performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program shall be
paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed. Where a
contractor is performing construction on a project in a locality other than that in which its program is registered, the
ratios and wage rates (expressed in percentages of the journeyman’s hourly rate) specified in the contractor’s or
subcontractor’s registered program shall be observed.
Every apprentice must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the registered program for the apprentice’s level of
progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeymen hourly rate specified in the applicable wage determination.
Apprentices shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the apprenticeship program.
HUD-4010 (06/2022)
Previous editions are obsolete. Page 4 of 5 ref. Handbook 1344.1
If the apprenticeship program does not specify fringe benefits, apprentices must be paid the full amount of fringe
benefits listed on the wage determination for the applicable classification. If the Administrator determines that a
different practice prevails for the applicable apprentice classification, fringe benefits shall be paid in accordance with
that determination. In the event the Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services, or a State
Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Office, withdraws approval of an apprenticeship program, the contractor will
no longer be permitted to utilize apprentices at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed
until an acceptable program is approved.
(ii) Trainees. Except as provided in 29 CFR 5.16, trainees will not be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate
for the work performed, unless they are employed pursuant to and individually registered in a program which has
received prior approval, evidenced by formal certification by the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training
Administration. The ratio of trainees to journeymen on the job site shall not be greater than permitted under the plan
approved by the Employment and Training Administration. Every trainee must be paid at not less than the rate
specified in the approved program for the trainee’s level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeyman
hourly rate specified in the applicable wage determination. Trainees shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with
the provisions of the trainee program. If the trainee program does not mention fringe benefits, trainees shall be paid
the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination unless the Administrator of the Wage and Hour
Division determines that there is an apprenticeship program associated with the corresponding journeyman wage rate
on the wage determination which provides for less than full fringe benefits for apprentices. Any employee listed on the
payroll at a trainee rate who is not registered and participating in a training plan approved by the Employment and
Training Administration shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work
actually performed.
In addition, any trainee performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program
shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed. In the
event the Employment and Training Administration withdraws approval of a training program, the contractor will no
longer be permitted to utilize trainees at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an
acceptable program is approved.
(iii) Equal employment opportunity. The utilization of apprentices, trainees, and journeymen under 29 CFR Part 5 shall be
in conformity with the equal employment opportunity requirements of Executive Order 11246, as amended, and 29
CFR Part 30.
(5) Compliance with Copeland Act requirements. The contractor shall comply with the requirements of 29 CFR Part 3, which
are incorporated by reference in this Contract.
(6) Subcontracts. The contractor or subcontractor will insert in any subcontracts the clauses contained in subparagraphs (1)
through (11) in this paragraph (a) and such other clauses as HUD or its designee may, by appropriate instructions, require,
and a copy of the applicable prevailing wage decision, and also a clause requiring the subcontractors to include these
clauses in any lower tier subcontracts. The prime contractor shall be responsible for the compliance by any subcontractor or
lower tier subcontractor with all the contract clauses in this paragraph.
(7) Contract termination; debarment. A breach of the contract clauses in 29 CFR 5.5 may be grounds for termination of the
contract and for debarment as a contractor and a subcontractor as provided in 29 CFR 5.12.
(8) Compliance with Davis-Bacon and Related Act Requirements. All rulings and interpretations of the Davis-Bacon and
Related Acts contained in 29 CFR Parts 1, 3, and 5 are herein incorporated by reference in this Contract.
(9) Disputes concerning labor standards. Disputes arising out of the labor standards provisions of this Contract shall not be
subject to the general disputes clause of this Contract. Such disputes shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures of
the U.S. Department of Labor set forth in 29 CFR Parts 5, 6, and 7. Disputes within the meaning of this clause include
disputes between the contractor (or any of its subcontractors) and HUD or its designee, the U.S. Department of Labor, or
the employees or their representatives.
(10) Certification of Eligibility.
(i) By entering into this Contract, the contractor certifies that neither it (nor he or she) nor any person or firm who has an
interest in the contractor’s firm is a person or firm ineligible to be awarded Government contracts by virtue of Section
3(a) of the Davis-Bacon Act or 29 CFR 5.12(a)(1) or to be awarded HUD contracts or participate in HUD programs
pursuant to 24 CFR Part 24.
HUD-4010 (06/2022)
Previous editions are obsolete. Page 5 of 5 ref. Handbook 1344.1
(ii) No part of this Contract shall be subcontracted to any person or firm ineligible for award of a Government contract by
virtue of Section 3(a) of the Davis-Bacon Act or 29 CFR 5.12(a)(1) or to be awarded HUD contracts or participate in HUD
programs pursuant to 24 CFR Part 24.
(iii) Anyone who knowingly makes, presents, or submits a false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement, representation or
certification is subject to criminal, civil and/or administrative sanctions, including fines, penalties, and imprisonment
(e.g., 18 U.S.C. §§ 287, 1001, 1010, 1012; 31 U.S.C. §§ 3729, 3802.
(11) Complaints, Proceedings, or Testimony by Employees. No laborer or mechanic, to whom the wage, salary, or other labor
standards provisions of this Contract are applicable, shall be discharged or in any other manner discriminated against by the
contractor or any subcontractor because such employee has filed any complaint or instituted or caused to be instituted any
proceeding or has testified or is about to testify in any proceeding under or relating to the labor standards applicable under
this Contract to his employer.
B. CONTRACT WORK HOURS AND SAFETY STANDARDS ACT
The provisions of this paragraph (b) are applicable where the amount of the prime contract exceeds $100,000. As used in this
paragraph, the terms “laborers” and “mechanics” include watchmen and guards.
(1) Overtime requirements. No contractor or subcontractor contracting for any part of the contract work, which may require
or involve the employment of laborers or mechanics, shall require or permit any such laborer or mechanic in any workweek
in which the individual is employed on such work to work in excess of 40 hours in such workweek, unless such laborer or
mechanic receives compensation at a rate not less than one and one-half times the basic rate of pay for all hours worked in
excess of 40 hours in such workweek.
(2) Violation; liability for unpaid wages; liquidated damages. In the event of any violation of the clause set forth in
subparagraph B(1) of this paragraph, the contractor, and any subcontractor responsible therefor, shall be liable for the
unpaid wages. In addition, such contractor and subcontractor shall be liable to the United States (in the case of work done
under contract for the District of Columbia or a territory, to such District or to such territory) for liquidated damages. Such
liquidated damages shall be computed with respect to each individual laborer or mechanic, including watchmen and
guards, employed in violation of the clause set forth in subparagraph B(1) of this paragraph, in the sum set by the U.S.
Department of Labor at 29 CFR 5.5(b)(2) for each calendar day on which such individual was required or permitted to work
in excess of the standard workweek of 40 hours without payment of the overtime wages required by the clause set forth in
subparagraph B(1) of this paragraph. In accordance with the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of 1990 (28
U.S.C. § 2461 Note), the DOL adjusts this civil monetary penalty for inflation no later than January 15 each year.
(3) Withholding for unpaid wages and liquidated damages. HUD or its designee shall, upon its own action or upon written
request of an authorized representative of the U.S. Department of Labor, withhold or cause to be withheld from any
moneys payable on account of work performed by the contractor or subcontractor under any such contract, or any other
Federal contract with the same prime contract, or any other Federally-assisted contract subject to the Contract Work Hours
and Safety Standards Act which is held by the same prime contractor, such sums as may be determined to be necessary to
satisfy any liabilities of such contractor or subcontractor for unpaid wages and liquidated damages, as provided in the
clause set forth in subparagraph B(2) of this paragraph.
(4) Subcontracts. The contractor or subcontractor shall insert in any subcontracts the clauses set forth in subparagraph B(1)
through (4) of this paragraph and also a clause requiring the subcontractors to include these clauses in any lower tier
subcontracts. The prime contractor shall be responsible for compliance by any subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor
with the clauses set forth in subparagraphs B(1) through (4) of this paragraph.
C. HEALTH AND SAFETY
The provisions of this paragraph (c) are applicable where the amount of the prime contract exceeds $100,000.
(1) No laborer or mechanic shall be required to work in surroundings or under working conditions which are unsanitary,
hazardous, or dangerous to his or her health and safety, as determined under construction safety and health standards
promulgated by the Secretary of Labor by regulation.
(2) The contractor shall comply with all regulations issued by the Secretary of Labor pursuant to 29 CFR Part 1926 and failure to
comply may result in imposition of sanctions pursuant to the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act, (Public Law
91-54, 83 Stat 96), 40 U.S.C. § 3701 et seq.
(3) The contractor shall include the provisions of this paragraph in every subcontract, so that such provisions will be binding on
each subcontractor. The contractor shall take such action with respect to any subcontractor as the Secretary of Housing and
Urban Development or the Secretary of Labor shall direct as a means of enforcing such provisions.

Note: Executive Order (EO) 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave
for Federal Contractors applies to all contracts subject to the
Davis-Bacon Act for which the contract is awarded (and any
solicitation was issued) on or after January 1, 2017. If this
contract is covered by the EO, the contractor must provide
4/4/23, 10:55 AM SAM.gov
https://sam.gov/wage-determination/MN20230035/1 4/6
employees with 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours
they work, up to 56 hours of paid sick leave each year.
Employees must be permitted to use paid sick leave for their
own illness, injury or other health-related needs, including
preventive care; to assist a family member (or person who is
like family to the employee) who is ill, injured, or has other
health-related needs, including preventive care; or for reasons
resulting from, or to assist a family member (or person who is
like family to the employee) who is a victim of, domestic
violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Additional information
on contractor requirements and worker protections under the EO
is available at
https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/government-contracts.
Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within
the scope of the classifications listed may be added after
award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses
(29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (ii)).
----------------------------------------------------------------
The body of each wage determination lists the classification
and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the
cited type(s) of construction in the area covered by the wage
determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical
order of ""identifiers"" that indicate whether the particular
rate is a union rate (current union negotiated rate for local),
a survey rate (weighted average rate) or a union average rate
(weighted union average rate).
Union Rate Identifiers
A four letter classification abbreviation identifier enclosed
in dotted lines beginning with characters other than ""SU"" or
""UAVG"" denotes that the union classification and rate were
prevailing for that classification in the survey. Example:
PLUM0198-005 07/01/2014. PLUM is an abbreviation identifier of
the union which prevailed in the survey for this
classification, which in this example would be Plumbers. 0198
indicates the local union number or district council number
where applicable, i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next number,
005 in the example, is an internal number used in processing
the wage determination. 07/01/2014 is the effective date of the
most current negotiated rate, which in this example is July 1,
2014.
Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all rate
changes in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) governing
this classification and rate.
Survey Rate Identifiers
Classifications listed under the ""SU"" identifier indicate that
no one rate prevailed for this classification in the survey and
the published rate is derived by computing a weighted average
rate based on all the rates reported in the survey for that
classification. As this weighted average rate includes all
rates reported in the survey, it may include both union and
non-union rates. Example: SULA2012-007 5/13/2014. SU indicates
the rates are survey rates based on a weighted average
calculation of rates and are not majority rates. LA indicates
the State of Louisiana. 2012 is the year of survey on which
these classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007
4/4/23, 10:55 AM SAM.gov
https://sam.gov/wage-determination/MN20230035/1 5/6
in the example, is an internal number used in producing the
wage determination. 5/13/2014 indicates the survey completion
date for the classifications and rates under that identifier.
Survey wage rates are not updated and remain in effect until a
new survey is conducted.
Union Average Rate Identifiers
Classification(s) listed under the UAVG identifier indicate
that no single majority rate prevailed for those
classifications; however, 100% of the data reported for the
classifications was union data. EXAMPLE: UAVG-OH-0010
08/29/2014. UAVG indicates that the rate is a weighted union
average rate. OH indicates the state. The next number, 0010 in
the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage
determination. 08/29/2014 indicates the survey completion date
for the classifications and rates under that identifier.
A UAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in January of
each year, to reflect a weighted average of the current
negotiated/CBA rate of the union locals from which the rate is
based.
----------------------------------------------------------------
WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS
1.) Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can
be:
* an existing published wage determination
* a survey underlying a wage determination
* a Wage and Hour Division letter setting forth a position on
a wage determination matter
* a conformance (additional classification and rate) ruling
On survey related matters, initial contact, including requests
for summaries of surveys, should be with the Wage and Hour
National Office because National Office has responsibility for
the Davis-Bacon survey program. If the response from this
initial contact is not satisfactory, then the process described
in 2.) and 3.) should be followed.
With regard to any other matter not yet ripe for the formal
process described here, initial contact should be with the
Branch of Construction Wage Determinations. Write to:
Branch of Construction Wage Determinations
Wage and Hour Division
U.S. Department of Labor
200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.
Washington, DC 20210
2.) If the answer to the question in 1.) is yes, then an
interested party (those affected by the action) can request
review and reconsideration from the Wage and Hour Administrator
(See 29 CFR Part 1.8 and 29 CFR Part 7). Write to:
Wage and Hour Administrator
U.S. Department of Labor
200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.
Washington, DC 20210
4/4/23, 10:55 AM SAM.gov
https://sam.gov/wage-determination/MN20230035/1 6/6
The request should be accompanied by a full statement of the
interested party's position and by any information (wage
payment data, project description, area practice material,
etc.) that the requestor considers relevant to the issue.
3.) If the decision of the Administrator is not favorable, an
interested party may appeal directly to the Administrative
Review Board (formerly the Wage Appeals Board). Write to:
Administrative Review Board
U.S. Department of Labor
200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.
Washington, DC 20210
4.) All decisions by the Administrative Review Board are final.

Project Scope:
Please note, installation is based on site being ready prior to our arrival to install play equipment as well as site conditions that have been conveyed
to our organization by the owner/owner's representative and/or ideal conditions existing for a timely completion of your project as quoted. Unless
addressed prior to the installation quote being issued or specifically mentioned herein, any issues that arise that impede the progress/completion of
your project as quoted will result in additional charges.
Weather can change project scheduling in many ways. Take rain for an example. Day, or days, before rain... If weather forecasts show a high
percentage chance for rain that will effect the site conditions, a postponement may be in order. Digging holes, laying certain surfacing materials,
etc., are greatly affected by weather conditions and work may not begin/continue due to weather forecasts. There's the rain days themselves, which
if heavy enough rainfall occurs, makes a site unworkable. Day, or days, after rain... Drying time will be needed after rain and the number of days
needed will vary depending on amount of moisture received. One actual rain day may equal multiple delay days depending on work scheduled to
be done.

additional charges will be required to bring on site temporary/portable restrooms. These temporary facilities will be removed once your project has
been completed.
- Short term maintenance, check manufacturer's owner's manual recommendations for maintenance and always follow these written instructions.
To help set up short (and ongoing) term maintenance, use the first twelve months to regularly check equipment (such as, but not limited to,
tightening hardware, checking moving features, etc.). Twelve months allows use in all seasons and will provide a better understanding of what will
be necessary for your ongoing maintenance. This short term schedule will be based on the amount of use the play equipment is getting as well as
the type of play event that is being played on. Activities with movement have a more dynamic play which can lead to more maintenance due to the
nature of the motion but also because these types of play events tend to be more popular. Static features may require less attention during the
short term and ongoing maintenance as inspections will determine frequency of maintenance needed for these events. There may be a need for
scheduled lower and higher frequency inspections.
- Ongoing maintenance, check manufacturer's owner's manual recommendations for maintenance and always follow these written instructions.
After short term maintenance period is done and data is collected for that time period, an ongoing schedule should be implemented. The ongoing
maintenance can change with age and greater use. There may be a need for scheduled lower and higher frequency inspections.
Should weekend work be necessary or non-standard hours be worked, please provide a site contact and the best telephone number to reach this
person in case an urgent matter arises requiring immediate attention.

N/A N/A N/A
Council Should Consider
• Hold the required public hearing for Planning Case 23-011, a proposal for Zoning Code
Amendments to Chapter 13, Section 1380 – TCAAP Redevelopment Code, Section 5 –
Schedule of Permitted Uses, Subsections 5.1 and 5.2 of the Arden Hills City Code to add
permitted and accessory uses in the Campus Commercial Zoning District. The City
Council will be asked to make a formal decision regarding the application under Agenda
Item 10A.
TCAAP Joint Development Authority
In November 2012, the City Council approved a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) with Ramsey
County which establishes a partnership between the City of Arden Hills and Ramsey County
with the goal of the remediation and redevelopment of the 427-acre Twin Cities Army
Ammunition Plant (TCAAP) site. Under the JPA, the City and County created a Joint
Development Authority (JDA) that is the joint governing entity of the TCAAP site as allowed by
the Joint Powers Act and MN State Laws. The JDA is the authority responsible for, but not
limited to, environmental remediation, elimination of blight, infrastructure construction and
financing, comprehensive planning and zoning, and economic development and redevelopment.
The JDA Board is comprised of two County Commissioners, two City Councilmembers, and an
additional non-elected City appointee as the Chair. Key points of the JPA are as follows:
Page 2 of 6
• The County will take actions necessary to resolve the environmental contamination. –
Completed
• The City will prepare an AUAR and Master Plan. The Master Plan will be approved by
both the City and the County and will be implemented by the JDA. – Completed
• The City and County are responsible for installing their respective public infrastructure as
outlined by the JPA. – TBD
Between 2013 – 2016, the City facilitated the process of developing the Master Plan for the
TCAAP site, which as noted above was the responsibility of the City under the JPA. Planning
elements of the Master Plan included defining the public engagement process, land use, circulation
and movement, utilities, environmental remediation, parks and open space, implementation plan,
and a regulatory plan. In 2016, the City adopted the most recent version of the TRC, Section 1380
of the zoning code which includes the regulating plan, land use table, design standards, and other
regulations related to land development that are specific to the TCAAP site. The proposed 427-
acre redevelopment referred to as Rice Creek Commons will include:
• Retail, office and light industrial development
• A town center
• Well-defined neighborhoods with architectural diversity
• A wide variety of housing options to serve young professionals, empty nesters, and seniors
• Abundant parks and open space
• Trails that provide for convenient and safe pedestrian access to commercial areas and other
site amenities
In addition, this document also includes a development flowchart that outlines the approval
processes for future land development of TCAAP that follows the terms as outlined in the JPA.
Future development proposals for TCAAP conforming with the TRC (or within the flexibilities
permitted) would fall under the purview and review of the JDA. As noted on the chart below, the
City maintains the responsibility for processing TRC Amendments (also elements not meeting
allowed flexibilities). The JPA identifies two classifications of an Amendment to the TCAAP
Master Plan: 1) Major Amendment or 2) Minor Amendment. A minor amendment does not
involve an amendment to the City’s Comprehensive Plan and is a change within a Development
Site (i.e. TRC Zoning Districts) deemed desirable by the JDA to implement the Development. The
JDA shall recommend such minor amendments to the City and County, and if approved by both
parties, the TCAAP Master Plan shall be modified consistent with the approved amendment. For
the City, a TRC Amendment would follow our standard procedures for processing a land use
application with a recommendation of the Planning Commission and City Council decision. As
part of a TRC Amendment, the City will request confirmation of approval by Ramsey County.
At their May 1, 2023 work session, the JDA discussed the Campus Commercial Zoning District
and indicated support for the City to proceed with consideration for expanding the allowed uses in
this district.

Campus Commercial Zoning District Background
Under the Zoning Code, the Campus Commercial
Zoning District is intended “to facilitate a building
format that allows multiple, single tenant buildings or
campuses within the northern “Thumb” site of the Plan
Area. The goal is to allow for an individual plan approach
for each campus or building, based on user preferences
within a range of requirements.” As noted in the plan area
description, the Campus Commercial zoning district only
applies to Outlot A within the TCAAP site. This
40-acre property is located in the northwest corner
of the TCAAP site, with frontage along I-35W and direct
highway access from County Road H. Outlot A is a
noncontiguous portion of the 427 acre TCAAP site.
This site is guided in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan also as
Campus Commercial. The future land use description states
“Provides for multiple, single tenant buildings or campuses
within a business park atmosphere.” City staff as part of this
city code amendment review has confirmed with the
Metropolitan Council that the future land use description
is sufficiently flexible to allow for other commercial land
uses to be amended as part of this zoning district.

raw materials refined elsewhere. These uses include, but are not
limited to: fabrication of wood, metal, and plastic products; assembly
of electronic components, equipment, and appliances; processing of
chemicals, plastics, food products, and nonalcoholic beverages;
manufacturing of clothing and textile products; distribution centers,

Ramsey County recently issued a Request for Development Interest on the Thumb property on
TCAAP. Ramsey County’s Community and Economic Development Director Kari Collins
followed up with city staff following the May 1st JDA work session meeting to say “I wanted to
relay that the County fully supports the City’s review of land uses for the thumb parcel, and for
any future parcel on the Rice Creek Commons site that will help to, “realize market potential and
promote the creation of jobs and economic development” as described in the TRC. We know we
are in a unique market climate and would endorse a full review of land use options on the thumb
parcel to ensure a wide range of proposals are submitted for consideration.”

Zoning Code Text Amendments
Based on the JDA discussion, at their May 8, 2023 regular meeting, the City Council directed staff
to bring forward the proposed ordinance amendment to the Planning Commission for the first
review and to hold a public hearing. The land use types that have been identified to be included
within the Campus Commercial Zoning District are those commercial land uses currently allowed
within the TRC Zoning District Land Use Table. In 2015/16, one of the concepts discussed during
the adoption of the Master Plan was that this site would be attractive for development as corporate
headquarters with a campus design that included amenities as complimentary land uses. One of
the purpose statements of the TRC is to “create regulations that realize market potential and
promote the creation of jobs and economic development.” To continue fostering economic
prosperity from varying markets for commercial developments (i.e. office, retail, clinic, personal
services, etc.), the overall objective of the proposed amendment to the TRC Land Use Table is to
expand permitted land uses within this zoning district to broaden the potential for future site
development (Attachment A). The proposed land use changes for City Council review are
mirrored after those land uses currently allowed for in the Town Center Zoning District. Staff did
also include a couple of other suggested land use additions based on permitted uses in the Retail
Mixed-Use and Flex Office Districts that were consistent with the overall intent of the Campus
Commercial Zoning District. If approved, an Applicant of any future proposed commercial
development in the Campus Commercial District would be subject to the formal review process as
outlined in the JDA for the TCAAP site.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: June 7, 2023
TO: Planning Commission Chair and Commissioners
FROM: Jessica Jagoe, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Planning Case #23-011 – Public Hearing Required
Applicant: City of Arden Hills
Request: Zoning Code Amendments – Chapter 13, Section 1380 – TCAAP
Redevelopment Code for Campus Commercial Zoning District
Requested Action
The City of Arden Hills is proposing ordinance language in the Zoning Code for the TCAAP
Redevelopment Code (TRC) specific to the Campus Commercial Zoning District that would
expand on permitted uses within this district. Ordinance language would be added to allow for
commercial land uses currently outlined in the TRC as permitted or accessory uses for
consideration to add as an allowed use in the Campus Commercial Zoning District. The proposed
amendments to City Zoning Code Chapter 13 are within the following Section:
• Section 1380 – TCAAP Redevelopment Code, Subsection 5 – Schedule of Permitted Uses
o Subsection 5.1 – Applicability, and
o Subsection 5.2 – Additional Use Criteria
TCAAP Joint Development Authority
In November 2012, the City Council approved a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) with Ramsey
County which establishes a partnership between the City of Arden Hills and Ramsey County
with the goal of the remediation and redevelopment of the 427-acre Twin Cities Army
Ammunition Plant (TCAAP) site. Under the JPA, the City and County created a Joint
Development Authority (JDA) that is the joint governing entity of the TCAAP site as allowed by
the Joint Powers Act and MN State Laws. The JDA is the authority responsible for, but not
limited to, environmental remediation, elimination of blight, infrastructure construction and
financing, comprehensive planning and zoning, and economic development and redevelopment.
The JDA Board is comprised of two County Commissioners, two City Councilmembers, and an
additional non-elected City appointee as the Chair. Key points of the JPA are as follows:
Page 2 of 7
• The County will purchase the site from the U.S. Government and will work with
Bolander and Sons to remediate the site to a residential standard including the demolition
of remaining buildings. – Completed
• The City will prepare an AUAR and Master Plan. The Master Plan will be approved by
both the City and the County and will be implemented by the JDA. – Completed
• The City and County are responsible for installing their respective public infrastructure as
outlined by the JPA. TBD
Between 2013 – 2016, the City facilitated the process of developing the Master Plan for the
TCAAP site, which as noted above was the responsibility of the City under the JPA. Planning
elements of the Master Plan included defining the public engagement process, land use, circulation
and movement, utilities, environmental remediation, parks and open space, implementation plan,
and a regulatory plan. In 2016, the City adopted the TRC, Section 1380 of the zoning code which
includes the regulating plan, land use table, design standards, and other regulations related to land
development that are specific to the TCAAP site. The proposed 427-acre redevelopment referred
to as Rice Creek Commons will include:
• Retail, office and light industrial development
• A town center
• Well-defined neighborhoods with architectural diversity
• A wide variety of housing options to serve young professionals, empty nesters, and seniors
• Abundant parks and open space
• Trails that provide for convenient and safe pedestrian access to commercial areas and other
site amenities
In addition, this document also includes a development flowchart that outlines the approval
processes for future land development of TCAAP that follows the terms as outlined in the JPA.
Future development proposals for TCAAP conforming with the TRC (or within the flexibilities
permitted) would fall under the purview and review of the JDA. As noted on the chart below, the
City maintains the responsibility for processing TRC Amendments (also elements not meeting
allowed flexibilities). The JPA identifies two classifications of an Amendment to the TCAAP
Master Plan: 1) Major Amendment or 2) Minor Amendment. A minor amendment does not
involve an amendment to the City’s Comprehensive Plan and is a change within a Development
Site (i.e. TRC Zoning Districts) deemed desirable by the JDA to implement the Development. The
JDA shall recommend such minor amendments to the City and County, and if approved by both
parties, the TCAAP Master Plan shall be modified consistent with the approved amendment. For
the City, a TRC Amendment would follow our standard procedures for processing a land use
application with a recommendation of the Planning Commission and City Council decision. As
part of a TRC Amendment, the City will request confirmation of approval by Ramsey County.
At their May 1, 2023 work session, the JDA discussed the Campus Commercial Zoning District
and indicated support for the City to proceed with consideration for expanding the allowed uses in
this district.

Campus Commercial Zoning District Background
Under the Zoning Code, the Campus Commercial
Zoning District is intended “to facilitate a building
format that allows multiple, single tenant buildings or
campuses within the northern “Thumb” site of the Plan
Area. The goal is to allow for an individual plan approach
for each campus or building, based on user preferences
within a range of requirements.” As noted in the plan area
description, the Campus Commercial zoning district only
applies to Outlot A within the TCAAP site. This
40-acre property is located in the northwest corner
of the TCAAP site, with frontage along I-35W and direct
highway access from County Road H. Outlot A is a
noncontiguous portion of the 427 acre TCAAP site.
This site is guided in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan also as
Campus Commercial. The future land use description states
“Provides for multiple, single tenant buildings or campuses
within a business park atmosphere.” City staff as part of this
city code amendment review has confirmed with the
Metropolitan Council that the future land use description
is sufficiently flexible to allow for other commercial land
uses to be amended as part of this zoning district.

Ramsey County recently issued a Request for Development Interest on the Thumb property on
TCAAP. Ramsey County’s Community and Economic Development Director Kari Collins
followed up with city staff following the May 1st JDA work session meeting to say “I wanted to
relay that the County fully supports the City’s review of land uses for the thumb parcel, and for
any future parcel on the Rice Creek Commons site that will help to, “realize market potential and
promote the creation of jobs and economic development” as described in the TRC. We know we
are in a unique market climate and would endorse a full review of land use options on the thumb
parcel to ensure a wide range of proposals are submitted for consideration.”

Zoning Code Text Amendments
Based on the JDA discussion, at their May 8, 2023 regular meeting, the City Council directed staff
to bring forward the proposed ordinance amendment to the Planning Commission for the first
review and to hold a public hearing. The land use types that have been identified to be included
within the Campus Commercial Zoning District are those commercial land uses currently allowed
within the TRC Zoning District Land Use Table. In 2015/16, one of the concepts discussed during
the adoption of the Master Plan was that this site would be attractive for development as corporate
headquarters with a campus design that included amenities as complimentary land uses. One of
the purpose statements of the TRC is to “create regulations that realize market potential and
promote the creation of jobs and economic development.” To continue fostering economic
prosperity from varying markets for commercial developments (i.e. office, retail, clinic, personal
services, etc.), the overall objective of the proposed amendment to the TRC Land Use Table is to
expand permitted land uses within this zoning district to broaden the potential for future site
development (Attachment A). The proposed land use changes for Planning Commission review
are mirrored after those land uses currently allowed for in the Town Center Zoning District. Staff
did also include a couple of other suggested land use additions based on permitted uses in the
Retail Mixed-Use and Flex Office Districts that were consistent with the overall intent of the
Campus Commercial Zoning District. If approved, an Applicant of any future proposed
commercial development in the Campus Commercial District would be subject to the formal
review process as outlined in the JDA for the TCAAP site.
Campus Commercial Code Amendments to consider:
1. Add Permitted Commercial Land Uses to Section 5.1, Table 5-1:
a. Brewpub

A) Draft TRC Amendment
ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – June 7, 2023 4
Community Development Director Jagoe stated the two monument signs would be 244 feet
apart.
Commissioner Weber questioned if any other items had to be considered given the fact a second
use would be added to the Land O’Lakes campus.
Community Development Director Jagoe explained a child care facility was a permitted use
for this zoning district. She commented she did not see any conflict with the Master PUD or land
use.
Commissioner Bjorklund questioned why this could not be counted as a third sign.
Community Development Director Jagoe reported under the Master PUD only two monument
signs were allowed, along with four auxiliary signs. She indicated there was no way to approve a
third monument sign administratively.
Commissioner Mitchell stated she supported the proposed site plan review.
Chair Vijums inquired if this sign would be externally illuminated.
Community Development Director Jagoe indicated the 2018 approval allowed the applicant to
have externally illuminated signs. She noted as proposed, the monument sign would be non-
illuminated.
Chair Vijums commented he was not opposed to the sign, but he feared the visibility would be
difficult at the proposed location.
Commissioner Wicklund moved and Commissioner Weber seconded a motion to
recommend approval of Planning Case 23-010 for a Site Plan Review at 4001 Lexington
Avenue North based on the findings of fact and the submitted plans, as amended by the
conditions in the June 7, 2023, report to the Planning Commission. The motion carried
unanimously (7-0).
B. Planning Case 23-011; Zoning Code Amendment to Chapter 13 to TCAAP
Redevelopment Code in The Campus Commercial Zoning District – Public Hearing
Community Development Director Jagoe stated in November 2012, the City Council approved
a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) with Ramsey County which establishes a partnership between
the City of Arden Hills and Ramsey County with the goal of the remediation and redevelopment
of the 427-acre Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant (TCAAP) site. Under the JPA, the City and
County created a Joint Development Authority (JDA) that is the joint governing entity of the
TCAAP site as allowed by the Joint Powers Act and MN State Laws. The JDA is the authority
responsible for, but not limited to, environmental remediation, elimination of blight,
infrastructure construction and financing, comprehensive planning and zoning, and economic
development and redevelopment. The JDA Board is comprised of two County Commissioners,
two City Councilmembers, and an additional non-elected City appointee as the Chair. Key points
of the JPA are as follows:
ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – June 7, 2023 5
The County will purchase the site from the U.S. Government and will work with
Bolander and Sons to remediate the site to a residential standard including the demolition
of remaining buildings. – Completed
The City will prepare an AUAR and Master Plan. The Master Plan will be approved by
both the City and the County and will be implemented by the JDA. – Completed
The City and County are responsible for installing their respective public infrastructure as
outlined by the JPA. TBD
Community Development Director Jagoe reported between 2013 – 2016, the City facilitated
the process of developing the Master Plan for the TCAAP site, which as noted above was the
responsibility of the City under the JPA. Planning elements of the Master Plan included defining
the public engagement process, land use, circulation and movement, utilities, environmental
remediation, parks and open space, implementation plan, and a regulatory plan. In 2016, the City
adopted the TRC, Section 1380 of the zoning code which includes the regulating plan, land use
table, design standards, and other regulations related to land development that are specific to the
TCAAP site. The proposed 427-acre redevelopment referred to as Rice Creek Commons will
include:
• Retail, office and light industrial development
• A town center
• Well-defined neighborhoods with architectural diversity
• A wide variety of housing options to serve young professionals, empty nesters, and
seniors
• Abundant parks and open space
• Trails that provide for convenient and safe pedestrian access to commercial areas and
other site amenities
Community Development Director Jagoe stated in addition, this document also includes a
development flowchart that outlines the approval processes for future land development of
TCAAP that follows the terms as outlined in the JPA. Future development proposals for TCAAP
conforming with the TRC (or within the flexibilities permitted) would fall under the purview and
review of the JDA. As noted on the chart below, the City maintains the responsibility for
processing TRC Amendments (also elements not meeting allowed flexibilities). The JPA
identifies two classifications of an Amendment to the TCAAP Master Plan: 1) Major
Amendment or 2) Minor Amendment. A minor amendment does not involve an amendment to
the City’s Comprehensive Plan and is a change within a Development Site (i.e. TRC Zoning
Districts) deemed desirable by the JDA to implement the Development. The JDA shall
recommend such minor amendments to the City and County, and if approved by both parties, the
TCAAP Master Plan shall be modified consistent with the approved amendment. A TRC
Amendment would follow the City’s standard procedures for processing a land use application
with a recommendation of the Planning Commission and City Council decision. As part of a
TRC Amendment, the City will request confirmation of approval by Ramsey County.
Community Development Director Jagoe explained at their May 1, 2023 work session, the
JDA discussed the Campus Commercial Zoning District and indicated support for the City to
proceed with consideration for expanding the allowed uses in this zoning district.
ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – June 7, 2023 6

Chair Vijums opened the floor to Commissioner comments.
Commissioner Bjorklund thanked staff for the detailed presentation. He believed the
recommendations of the JDA were wonderful. He was pleased the JDA was beginning to move
on this project. He stated he appreciated the proposed flexibility that would allow for big box
retail. He asked if the thumb property already had water and sewer lines.
Community Development Director Jagoe explained Ramsey County had a Request for Interest
proposal out for this property and the County would be taking proposals through July. She
indicated this property was site development ready.
Commissioner Wicklund reported he would be recusing himself from voting on this item.
Chair Vijums encouraged the City Council and others to think about the Town Center and what
uses would most benefit the development. He reported his main concern with the development
was that there was one road that serves the area. He feared how traffic in the area would be
impacted stating it was his understanding the intersections surrounding TCAAP already had a D
rating.
ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – June 7, 2023 7
Commissioner Weber stated there was a list of changes that the Commission was being asked to
approve and it was his understanding some uses have been left out. He questioned some of the
uses that would be permitted under the proposed amendment due to their environmental impact,
notably a fuel service station and dry cleaning services.
Chair Vijums asked if the Commission was voting on each use for the Campus Commercial
Zoning District.
Community Development Director Jagoe stated the Commission could move this item forward
as drafted, or the Commission could recommend amendments.
Commissioner Weber questioned where the proposed list of allowed uses came from.
Community Development Director Jagoe explained the proposed list was based on input from
the JDA, Ramsey County, along with consideration for land uses currently allowed within the
TRC and met the intent of the Campus Commercial Zoning District mirrored primarily after
those land uses allowed for in the Town Center Zoning District.
Chair Vijums asked if a service station would be allowed anywhere else within the
development.
Community Development Director Jagoe stated a service station would be allowed in the
Retail Mixed Use or the Flex Office zoning districts.
Chair Vijums questioned if a dog kennel would be allowed anywhere within the development.
Community Development Director Jagoe reported a dog kennel was a permitted use in the
Flex Office zoning district.
Commissioner Weber stated he was all for expanding uses in order to move this project
forward, but he feared this list was limited.
Community Development Director Jagoe explained the proposed list was based on the
currently allowed land uses within the TRC.
Commissioner Blilie stated she had no concerns with the development and noted she could
support the Zoning Code Amendment.
Commissioner Bjorklund asked where traffic data information was available for this project.
Community Development Director Jagoe reported the City had previously completed an
AUAR for this project in 2019 and would be completing another AUAR in 2024.
Commissioner Bjorklund stated he was pleased the thumb property would have to two major
roadways of access purposes.
ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – June 7, 2023 8
Chair Vijums encouraged the JDA to put their heads together to ensure the proper infrastructure
was in place to serve the existing residents of Arden Hills and the new residents that would be
living on TCAAP.
Chair Vijums opened the public hearing at 7:35 p.m.
Chair Vijums invited anyone for or against the application to come forward and make comment.
There being no comments Chair Vijums closed the public hearing at 7:35 p.m.
Chair Vijums moved and Commissioner Weber seconded a motion to recommend approval
of Planning Case 23-011 for a Zoning Code Amendment to Chapter 13, Section 1380 –
TCAAP Redevelopment Code, Subsection 5 – Schedule of Permitted Uses of the Arden
Hills City Code to add permitted and accessory uses in the Campus Commercial Zoning
District based on the findings of fact and the submitted plans in the June 7, 2023, report to
the Planning Commission. The motion carried 6-0-1 (Commissioner Wicklund abstained).

REPORTS
A. Report from the City Council
Councilmember Rousseau provided the Commission with an update from the City Council. She
invited the Planning Commission to attend the Appreciation Picnic on Tuesday, July 18. She
explained letters were sent out to homes in Arden Hills with racial covenants and staff would be
working with these properties. She stated the Economic Development Commission was seeking
volunteers at this time and hoped to hold their first meeting in August. She noted the PTRC was
looking to add a youth commissioner. She questioned if the Planning Commission would be
interested in having a youth commissioner.
Chair Vijums stated a voting right may be difficult for a youth commissioner, but he believed
the feedback and input would be valuable.
Commissioner Bjorklund and Commissioner Wicklund agreed.
Commissioner Weber suggested a youth commissioner be brought onto the PTRC for a year
and that the Planning Commission reconsider this matter after a year. He was of the opinion a
youth commissioner on the Planning Commission should be a non voting member.

Overview of Ordinance Amendments
•In 2015/16, one of the concepts discussed
during the adoption of the Master Plan was
that this site would be attractive for
development as corporate headquarters with a
campus design that included amenities as
complimentary land uses.
•TRC purpose statement is to “create
regulations that realize market potential and
promote the creation of jobs and economic
development.”
•The proposed amendments will continue
fostering economic prosperity from varying
markets for commercial development by
expanding permitted land uses.
•Staff mirrored those land uses currently
allowed for in the Town Center Zoning District
as well as a few others based on permitted
uses in the Retail Mixed-Use and Flex Office
Districts that were consistent with the overall
intent of the Campus Commercial Zoning
District.
