Council Member Larson stated he did not disagree with Council Member Grant's suggestion, but he was not sure the Parks, Trail and Open Space plan should take precedence over the Storm Water Management Plan. He stated he would rather adopt a motion that stating that tbe parklands were schematic and any decision to proceed with these plans would require action by the Council. He stated he wanted to make it clear these were not final plans, Council Member Grant asked if he amended his motion to take into consideration park size, would Council Member Larson still have a concern with this motion. Council Member Larson stated he had a problem that this plan would take precedence over another plan.

Planning Case 02-07: Goserud Preliminary Plat City Planner Parrish explained that the applicant was requesting approval of a preliminary plat to divide one existing lot zoned R-l Single Family Residential into two lots zoned R-l Single Family Residential. The applicant was also requesting a variance to allow for a private access and a variance to allow an 8-foot accessory structure setback where 10 feet was required. He stated the Planning Commission recommended denial ofthe preliminary plat and platting variances, . Council Member Larson asked how there was an adverse affect to adjacent property owners, Mr. Parrish replied there was no adverse affect to the adjacent property owners. Mayor Probst asked what the City Code said with respect to flag lots. Mr. Parrish replied if there was a flag lot, they needed to address an access issue and certain street frontage issues, but the Code did not specifically prohihit flag lots, Tom Goserud, 4350 Hamline Avenue, stated they did not have a drainage problem. He stated he did not understand why this became an issue at the Planning Commission meeting, He indicated there were a lot of trees, grass, and shrubs growing along the southern property line and there were no drainage issues. He stated there would be no trees removed if this were approved. He presented the background on his property and stated the City had landlocked his property through various past actions, He indicated this may not be an ideal proposal, but it was the best that could be done with the property at this time. Council Member Grant asked if the driveway would be a separate driveway, Mr. Goserud stated they would use the same curb cut, but then split off. . Council Member Larson asked if this proposal went forward, was Mr. Goserud going out of the nursery business, Mr. Goserud stated they would not have the nursery business on the property if this were approved, ARDEN HILLS REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MAY 28, 2002 7 . Council Member Larson asked if Mr. Gosemd also owned the lot directly to the south, Mr. Gosemd replied he did own it and it was his intent to possibly develop that at some point in the future, He indicated that piece of property already had its own curb cut. Council Member Rem asked if the Planning Commission had the drainage plan at their meeting, Mr. Parrish replied they did have the plan, but at that time, a field inspection had not been conducted subsequent to the Planning Conunission meeting, The City Engineer has conducted a field inspection, Mayor Probst spoke in favor of the Planning Commission's position. He stated this plan was very similar to the previous plan that had been submitted. He stated if they approved this, he was concerned that the adjacent site would also have a similar plan, and he could not support this as it was presented. He expressed concern regarding the flag lots that were being created. He urged the Council to support the Planning Commission's position. . Mr. Gosemd stated if they did put a street and cul-de-sac on the property, they could probably only get two lots out of the land. Council Member Aplikowski stated creating another flag lot was not unusual in the City and they mostly came about because of actions of previous event. She expressed concern about the 14- foot width driveway, but she stated this would not stop her from approving this plan. MOTION: Council Member Aplikowski moved and Council Member Grant seconded a motion to approve Case 02-07, Goserud Preliminary Plat and variances. . Scott Colson, 1321 Wyncrest, stated he was against this proposal. He indicated this would have a negative impact to him and his neighbors. He stated this was not a good proposal. He indicated the neighbors were unified against doing this. He objected to the road running along his back property line. He stated there was a drainage issue on his property. He indicated ponding occurred on the back of his property whenever there was a hard rain, and adding concrete for a road would not improve that condition. He stated there were ample opportunities to subdivide this property when the rest of the subdivision occurred and now was not a good time for this proposal. He indicated everything was already set in place in the ARDEN HILLS REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MAY 28, 2002 8 . neighborhood, and this was much more difficult for the neighbors. He stated approving this encouraged the next property owner to do the same type of a development. He asked if the City wanted a lot of flag lots. He urged Council to accept the Planning Commission's recommendation. John Gibson, 1297 Wyncrest Court, stated he did not support granting this proposal. He stated the City rules existed for good reasons and this proposed development was not a good reason for granting what was being requested. He expressed concern about granting the variances. He urged Council to not grant the vanances, . Joann Pastorius, 1350 Wyncrest Court, stated after the last hard rain and Mr. Colson's yard was actually sinking. There was a major drainage issue and while there was a drainage system there, it took days to drain the water. She stated there was also a fire hydrant that might need to be moved and expressed concern about a fire engine being able to access tbe hydrant. She stated there was not a natural frontage for this proposal and she questioned tbe City setting tbis type of precedence. She urged Council to deny this request. Council Member Grant stated applicants had a right to come forward with a plan and what they wanted to do with their land, Council Member Aplikowski asked the City Engineer to comment on the drainage issue. City Engineer Brown replied he concurred with applicant's characterization as to how things flowed, and as long as the driveway drained into Hamline Avenue, there really should be no reason this would create a drainage problem. He stated some reworking needed to be done, and while there may be a low spot or two, this proposal might actually help any drainage problems the residents indicated they experienced. Mayor Probst stated he would not support this motion. He agreed the property owner had a right to present their proposal, but it did not obligate the City to accept the proposal. He expressed concern about setting precedence if this was approved. He stated he did not believe this was a good plan. . Council Member Larson stated he would support the motion. He believed Mr. Goserud in good faith came back to the City with a new proposal after the Council rejected the previous plan, He indicated he believed the proposal was a good one, ARDEN HILLS REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MAY 28, 2002 9 . He stated the Fire Department had indicated they were comfortable with the location of the hydrant. He indicated he would not object to a condition being added if the lot \vas developed, there would not be a building pennit issued until the drainage issues had been addressed. He stated Mr. Goserud had as good of an argument as any other resident in the City with respect to the issuance of a variance, He indicated while it might not be the best solution, it was a reasonable one. He inquired about the Park Dedication Fee and how this was going to be determined. He urged Council to base the Park Dedication Fee on an independent appraisal. Council Member Aplikowski stated it was not Mr. Goserud's property that had a drainage issue, but the adjoining properties, and she did not see that developing this property would affect those drainage issues and may, in fact, help the neighbors' drainage issues, Mayor Probst stated the motion needed to indicate the approval was based on the findings and conditions as outlined in staffs report. . Council Member Larson requested the following friendly amendment: "Taking into consideration the referenced recommendations and the conditions that were outlined in staffs report". Altering condition number one to read: "The building permit will not be granted if satisfactory drainage cannot be provided." Condition number five to be inserted after the dedication fee, "the payment of the appropriate park dedication fee is based on an independent appraisal prior to final platting".

Mayor Probst urged Council to move forward with staffs recommendation and get a consultant on board to assist the City with this plan. Council Member Aplikowski asked if this process would help the City come up with a reasonable expectation of their vision. Mayor Probst stated this was what it was designed to do, . Mr. Parrish replied the City would manage the planning process and this would incorporate the Community's vision. Council Member Grant stated it made good sense to hire an infrastructure consultant at this time, He requested an economic impact assessment be prepared to ensure the existing residents and business ovmers were not subsidizing the TCAAP development. Council Member Rem inquired about the aggressiveness of the schedule. Mr. Parrish replied they could evaluate other options if a Council Member wanted to participate on the interview panel, but given the time constraints, they put this on the staffs level. Council Member Rem indicated she was hesitant to move forward on such an aggressive schedule. . Council Member Larson stated it was important the City get their planning in place as soon as possible. He requested they look at planning a broader portion of TCAAP other than just the portion being currently released.

Council Member Rem asked why they were addressing this now at this time. She asked if this was catch up work. Mr. Lynch replied that was correct. He indicated it was something that should have been done previously. Council Member Aplikowski stated this type of an action concerned her, but she would support it.

PMP Proiect for 2003 City Engineer Brown presented the 2003 CIP projects. Council Member Larson stated it was important to keep the City infrastructure up and he stated what was being proposed was a good proposal. Mr. Lynch stated this would also impact possible investors and could affect the City's bond rating. Council Member Rem stated she had reservations about the storm water, utility plan for that neighborhood. She stated she was not sure this was going to be the best way to deal with this situation. She expressed concern about using information from three years ago, She requested the residents be given sufficient notice regarding this proposal. ARDEN HILLS REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MAY 28, 2002 13 . Mayor Probst stated he assumed there would be modifications made to the feasibility study originally presented, He indicated it was Council's responsibility to maintain the infrastructure of the community and this was a logical place to start, Council Member Rem expressed concern about spending as much money as was being recommended for the Ingerson neighborhood, She stated she did not disagree that the infrastructure needed to be maintained, She stated just because they had the money, did not mean it should all be spent in one area. Council Member Aplikowski requested an alternative to the Weir situation and also alternatives to closing Hamline Avenue, She requested they look at the storm sewer system also, . Council Member Grant stated there seemed to be a difference in the memorandum and the item on their agenda. He asked if they were talking about the PMP project for 2003, or where they talking about the 2003 CIP scope. He stated he was hesitant to go back into the Ingerson neighborhood just because they had the money at this time, He stated this would not be a good decision. In terms of G.A.S.B, 34, he encouraged staff to maintain vigilance. He stated he would not support going back into Ingerson, but he was in support of the Karth Lake proposal. Mayor Probst asked if they abandoned the Ingerson neighborhood for next year, what did Council Member Grant propose in its place. Council Member Grant replied he would like the City Engineer to look into this. Mr. Brown stated whether they had the money or not, the Ingerson neighborhood was still the number one concern. He agreed that overlay projects were more time sensitive, but the Ingerson neighborhood had been substantially deteriorating and this should be the City's major priority, He indicated the Ingerson neighborhood ranked at the top of the list, regardless of whether the money was there or not. . Council Member Larson stated if they were going to go forward with a Pavement Management Program, then the Ingerson neighborhood should be reconstructed. He expressed concern that every time the Council reached a consensus as to what they were going to do, they appeared to get cold feet. He indicated they had previously agreed on doing the neighborhood approach and not an individual street . . . [__un ARDEN HILLS REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MAY 28, 2002 14 approach and he found it frustrating that they were not taking the approach they had previously agreed to. Mr. Lynch stated he believed Ingerson fit the criteria the Council had previously established for the Pavement Management Program. Council Member Grant asked what the PCI rating in 2003 would be for the Ingerson neighborhood, The City Engineer replied it would probably fall another 5 points, and it would be likely to continue at that rate or accelerate. Council Member Grant asked if there were other streets in the mill and overlay. The City Engineer replied Brighton Way and Chatham were the next candidates in line. He stated these two streets were relatively small projects. Council Member Aplikowski stated the Council had decided they were going to do the neighborhood approach and since this had been identified, they should move forward with this. She agreed with Council Member Larson that they should not take steps backward and they should move forward and stay together as a group. She urged the Council Members to move forward with the feasibility report on the Ingerson neighborhood, Council Member Larson stated he would not support this ifit would be a 3-2 vote, He stated if there was not a consensus among the Council then they should discuss this issue further. He indicated this would send the wrong message to the neighborhood. Council Member Rem stated she would support the Ingerson neighborhood project, but she did have reservations about it. Council Member Grant stated clearly Ingerson was down toward the bottom of the PCI rating. The issue for him was that there were two streets with a combined length of 3800 feet with a PCI rating of 83 and he questioned why they were going to tear up those streets, The City Engineer replied Tiller and Dunlap were not a part of this project and they would not be touched. Council Member Grant stated he did not want to do the Edgewater neighborhood due to connection issues to be addressed by staff, but if they were going to do reconstruction, the Ingerson neighborhood would make sense. .

City Accountant/Treasurer Memorandum Mr. Lynch explained the current and historical duties of the City Accountant/City Treasurer. He recommended the Council find the position of City Treasurer was necessary; the position was not a voluntary position and had not been since July 27, 1992; that the duties and responsibilities of City Treasurer can be perfomled by one person in one position; that the duties and responsibilities of City Treasurer be specifIcally denoted in the job description of City Accountant; find that both positions have been performed by Mr. Post for the last ten (10) years; find that both positions should continue to be perfonned by Mr. Post as City Accountant; find that if Mr. Post indicated refusal to perfoml the duties of City Treasurer as found necessary and as directed by Council, Mr. Post be informed that he could be disciplined, including termination for failure to perform his job as directed, . . . ARDEN HILLS REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MAY 28, 2002 16 Mayor Probst stated he believed the reason the City had gone down this direction was with the intent of having one person do both of those duties. He suggested the Council agree with the first six findings in Mr. Lynch's memorandum. Council Member Larson requested Mr. Post give Council some background on his recommendation. He commended Mr. Post on his fine job as City Accountant/Treasurer. He asked if this was a philosophical or financial issue. Mr. Post replied it was a philosophical issue, Mr. Larson asked if this was an issue that could be overcome if the Council felt it was important to keep the positions as one. Mr. Post replied as the person performing these duties he was ofthe opinion that these were two positions and not one. He asked what was the reporting structure ofthese positions, Council Member Aphkowski stated the positions were combined ten years ago and prior to that, they were separate, Mr. Post replied for 40 of the 50 years, a member of the community trained in tlnancial matters filled the City Treasurer, and when the City Accountant was hired, those duties were not incorporated into the Treasurer's position, Council Member Aplikowski statcd she believed these were two separate things and she was struggling as to where they should go, She stated she did not know if there was enough work for a separate Treasurer position. Council Member Grant stated Mr. Post had performed both the Accountant and Treasurer duties well, and from the organizational chart, it appeared these positions were one, He stated he agreed with the first six recommendations. Council Member Larson indicated Mr. Post should be able to express his views directly to Council as he had in the past. Mayor Probst stated he believed these pOSItIOns were one position and urged Council to adopt the first six findings as recommended by Mr. Lynch, Council Member Aplikowski asked what brought this up after ten years, She asked if there was something going on that would prevent Mr. Post from coming to the Council directly, Mr. Post replied he could not cite any individual case or person and this was a philosophical issue, . . . ARDEN HILLS REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MAY 28, 2002 17 MOTION: Council Member Larson moved and Council Member Grant seconded a motion to adopt the first six recommendation of the City Administrator. Council Member Aplikowski asked what would happen with the seventh recommendation, Mayor Probst stated if it came down to having to address the seventh recommendation, Council would discuss that recommendation at the time.
