Jeanne Winiecki Appointment MOTION: Hicks moved and Keim seconded a motion to approve the Consent Calendar as presented, and authorize execution of all necessary documents contained therein. The motion carried unAnitnously (5-0). PUBLIC COMMENTS Mr. Craig WJlson, 1677 West County Road F, showed the Council the debris left by construction workers and crew along County Road F. He noted some of the debris were articles that are oil products not picked up by trash collectors. He indicated some of this debris is getting buried along the road under construction and expressed concern. Mr. Wilson indicated he realized this is not the biggest issue going on with the County Road F construction, but wished to notify the Council of the problem. He did indicated he would dispose of the bag of debris items properly. Mr. Jim Borg, 1812 Janet Court. stated he had come home from a weekend trip to find his home without power a couple weekends prior and then just the weekend before the meeting, he came home to find a basement full of mud. Mr. Borg indicated he had spoken with a Councilmember on the issue. He indicated he had been contacted and told by a construction worker to bill Midwest Asphalt for clean up. Mr. Borg, after investigating further, realized this individual had no authority to authorize a payment by Midwest Asphalt. Mr. Borg encouraged the Council to withhold payment to the contractor until these issues are resolved. . .. . . . I . I . .e I . I . . . I .- I ,NU)EN mLLS CITY COUNCIL - AUGUST 14. 1995 4 City Administrator Fritsinger asked if Mr. Borg had been contacted by the insurance agent for Midwest Asphalt. Mr. Borg indicated he was contacted by an engineer, who was assessing the situation and investigating liability issues of the problem. Mr. Jerry Garski, 1795 West County Road F, described the incidents of the previous weekend, he indicated his basement was filled with raw sewage. Mr. Garski also requested the Council withhold payment to the contractor until these issues are resolved. He urged the Council to help the residents to gain some leverage in addressing these concerns. Mr. Garski indicated the residents are also concerned regarding any problems in the future, he requested an engineering study be done for the entire road reconstruction. Mayor Probst indicated the testimony presented may point to the fault of the contractor, but he is unsure if the Council has the authority to address this issue as of yet. He did note the Council will be discussing payment to the contractor later in the meeting. He reiterated that the Council has heard the concerns of the residents. Councilmember Hicks indicated it seems as though two to three homes have raw sewage in their homes, and it is unreasonable to expect these people to live in these conditions. He suggested the City clean up the homes and deal with reconciling the costs with the contractor directly, instead of letting the residents resolve the issue with the contractor Mr. Fritsinger indicated staffhas not explored that option. Mayor Probst asked if any comment has been made by the contractor. City Engineer Stonehouse indicated the contractor has had his agent review the situation, but the contractor has not been involved in any of the clean up. Councilmember Aplikowski indicated the residents she has spoken with, stated they had been told to arrange for their own clean up and supply the contractor with the bills. Councilmember Aplikowski also agreed the City should help in the clean up of these homes. Mr. Borg indicated an engineer came to his home, not an agent. He believed this engineer was reviewing the situation, not to help the residents, but to determine extent of liability. Mr. Garski indicated he already has had clean up begin on his home, because it was unhealthy for his family. He also indicated the engineer visited with him, but gave no assistance. . .. . I I . I I I .. . . . . I . I .- . ,ARDEN lDLLS CITY COUNCIL - AUGUST 14, 1995 5 Ms. Elizabeth Garski, 1795 West County Road F, indicated the problem was caused by the fact that the sewer was not capped at the end of the work clay by the construction crew. She noted the Public Works Superintendent also believed this to be the problem. She noted that she did rea1ize this to be hearsay, but felt this is a clear show of neglect on behalf of the construction crew. Ms. Garski indicated they were unable to use their air conditioning and the damage was unbelievable. She indicated this to be a continuous comedy of errors regarding the road reconstruction. Councilmember Hicks noted the Council will be sympathetic. Ms. Garski believed withholding payment would be the residents only leverage in the issue. He noted he would not want to have to sue the City and the contractor just to resolve this. Mr. Joe Ricke, 1740 West County Road F, indicated he now has a twelve foot by six foot hole in his foundation. He stated his young family is unable to live there and expressed frustration regarding the entire incident. He urged the City to continue investigating the situation. Mayor Probst indicated the City will continue to investigate the concerns and will do what they can. He urged the citizens to continue to keep the City informed of any concerns. Mayor Probst returned to item four on the agenda PUBLIC HEARING - 1995 STREET MAINTENANCE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT Mayor Probst opened the Public Hearing at 8:04 p.m. He noted this is a continuation of the Public Hearing held on July 31, 1995, therefore no additional notification was sent out. City Engineer Stonehouse briefly reviewed the project and the reason why the Council is at this particular point. He noted the two issues brought up at the last council meeting were the comer lots and outlots and the rate of assessments regarding both. Mr. Stonehouse indicated, based upon a review of the assessment calculations, the two residential properties (1179 and 1194) at the westerly intersection were previously included at the corner lot rate using the length of the short plus one third of the long side. The two outlots were not calculated using this method and the revised total assessment length for the Hunter's Park Homeowner's Association as a result of these revisions would be 3,554.87 feet, a reduction of317.90 feet. Mr. Stonehouse explained based upon this change the total assessment amount to the association would be reduced to $14,219.48 and the resulting assessment per lot is $209.11. . .. I . . . I I I .e I I . . . . . .e . ~EN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - AUGUST 14. 1995 6 Mr. Stonehouse noted, with respect to the Homeowner's Association frontage adjacent to the storm water outlots, the assessment was originally determined using the City's current policy for such an improvement. The City's past and current interpretation of the policy is that the City assesses 50% of the cost of overlay improvements to benefitting property owners. In the case of a typical residential area the assessment is based on assessable front footage. However, such a reduction in the overall front footage for Benton Way would result in either an increase in the assessment rate for this portion of the project to compensate for the difference in 50% of the assessment cost; or an increase in the overall assessment rate for the entire project, which would cause residents throughout the City to participate in the improvements to outlot property owned by the Hunter's Park Homeowner's Association. Mr. Gary Getty, 1188 Benton Way, indicated he has issued an appeal in regard to the corner lots. He noted the residents of Hunter's Park Homeowner's Association, wish only to be treated as any other resident of Arden Hills. Mr. Frank Pistotnik, 1163 Benton Way, indicated he was slightly confused in regard to the outlots. He inquired if the outlots were considered with the corner lot formula this would create an imbalance in the 50% contribution that the assessments would bring. Mayor Probst indicated that would be correct. Mr. Bob Porter, 1128 Benton Way, inquired as to the 50% project cost and ifit is right to spread this entire project cost over to all the homeowners in the Association. Mayor Probst indicated if it was the decision of the Council to consider the reduction of the 317.9 feet and if this reduction created an imbalance, the additional cost would be borne from general taxes. Mr. Porter indicated the comer lot formula for the outlots would establish the fact that Hunter's Park Homeowner's Association is unique. The concern of the residents is the problem of setting a precedent for future projects. Mr. Porter indicated the density of the association is not as large as other developments and should be also taken into consideration, because the cost is not being spread over as many residents. Mr. Porter thanked the Council for giving the residents an opportunity to speak. Mayor Probst closed the Public Hearing at 8:20 p.m. Councilmember Malone indicated he would support the Council's decision, but is reluctant to agree with the proposed reduction. He felt the outlots benefit everyone and he did not feel the corner lot formula to be appropriate in this instance. Councilmember Malone indicated the density was the developer's choice and is not the City's issue. I I. I I I I I I I Ie I I I I I I I I- I ,e.:RDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - AUGUST 14~1995 7 Councilmember Malone indicated the City has looked at this situation by the total amount of benefit divided by the total number of homes in the association. Councilmember Aplikowski inquired if the reduction was used, how much would this reduce the per lot assessment. Mr. Stonehouse indicated it would reduce this by approximately $18.00. Councilmember Aplikowski indicated the issue is not the money, but the principle. She indicated she would feel better by staying with the policy. Mayor Probst indicated he originally was the one to raise the issue of the comer lots, and in reviewing, Staffhas realized the comer lot formula was used on two comer lots, but not on the two outlot comers. He indicated he would be comfortable with looking at the reduction for lack of a better example. Councilmember Hicks inquired if the formula were used in the original calculations, would this mean a different per foot rate. Mr. Stonehouse indicated this would result in a slightly higher per foot rate, taking the overall cost of the property into consideration. Mayor Probst noted procedurally, the Council needs to address the issue of the appeals. City Attorney Filla indicated all the appeals are based on the comer lot formula issue and following City Policy in regards to this calculation. Mr. Filla indicated in regard to precedent, the Council will have flexibility and may wish to evaluate in future reconstruction projects. Councilmember Malone reiterated the policy is setup as a guideline. He suggested taking the typical dimensions of a lot in Arden Hills and using this for the calculation of a phantom lot for the outlots, since there is no home on the outlots. Mayor Probst indicated the Council could choose to reduce the footage by 317.9 or by 200 feet reflecting the calculation of a phantom lot. Mr.Bob Porter, 1128 Benton Way, indicated the association does not own the outlot, each member owns 1/68 of the outlots. He reiterated the residents wish the outlots to be treated as any other comer lot. Mayor Probst inquired if the Council accepted the appeals, what would the effect be. Mr. Filla indicated if the appeals were accepted, in principle, the Council would be accepting an adjustment. He did note one of the objections by the Hunter's Park Association was not signed and was, therefore, not accepted. I I. I I I I I I I I. I . .

CounciImember Hicks felt the first assessment was appropriate because the comer lot formula was used on the single family comer lots. Motion failed with 2-2-1 vote. (Mayor Probst and CounciImember Keim opposed and CounciImember Aplikowski abstained.) MOTION: Keim moved and Hicks seconded a motion to accept the objections to the assessment roll presented by: Robert Porter 1128 Benton Way Frank S.

I I. I I I I I I I I- I I I I I I I Ie I ,ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - AUGUST 14. 1995 9 Mayor Probst indicated there would be two options the Council could review: 1) assess corner lot formula as the outlots exists, or 2) use a phantom lot for the corner lot formula. Councilmember Malone indicated using a phantom corner lot for the outlots, would bring the assessment to $216.05 per lot. Councilmember Keirn inquired as to the current size of the corner lots on the other side. Mr. Stonehouse indicated those lots were 120 feet x 95 feet and 120 feet x 60 feet. Councilmember Malone felt the phantom lot dimensions would to be generous. MOTION: Malone moved and Hicks seconded a motion to adopt Resolution 95-57, Adopting Final Assessment Roll, based on front footage of 3,672.77 multiplied by $4.00 divided by 68 provides a $216.05 assessment per parcel. Mr. Bob Porter, 1128 Benton Way, indicated the outlots are unbuildable and creating a phantom lot is not fair to the residents. He felt the outlots should be assessed as individual lots as they are platted. Mayor Probst indicated the Council would not debate the merits of the motion with Mr. Porter, the City Council has recognized the special circumstances of the association. He believed the Council has been diligent in finding a solution. Motion carried unanimously (5-0). Mayor Probst noting additional visitors once again gave anyone who wished to address the Council an opportunity. Hearing no one, the Mayor moved forward with meeting. UNFINISHED AND NEW BUSINESS Planning Case #95-18. Bethel College Site Plan Review Community Developer Director Ringwald indicated Bethel College is requesting site approval for a 138 space parking lot. The site plan also provides for a pedestrian trail from the parking lot to the Edgren, Bodien, and Getch residence halls. Mr. Ringwald noted the Special Use Permit for the Bethel College Campus Master Plan was originally issued in 1978 in Planning Case 78-5. The Special Use Permit was amended in 1980 to allow site plan approval for projects consistent with the Master Plan. I I. I I I I I I I I~ I I I I I I I. I I ,ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - AUGUST 14, 1995 10 , Mr. Ringwald indicated item b. under conditions listed in his Staff memo, has been resolved. He noted recommendation of Staff would be for approval with the conditions a, c, d, and e noted in the staff report. MOTION: Malone moved and Hicks seconded a motion approving Case 95-18, Bethel College Site Plan Review with the following conditions: 1. Modification of the southeast comer of the parking lot to provide a second access point, if Bethel College can relocate the "Control Gate" to the intersection of the service drive and Bethel Drive; 2. Approval of the grading plan by Rice Creek Watershed District; 3. Provision of written verification that the proposed use (138 stall parking lot) is permitted within the utility easement; and 4. Provision of adequate handicap parking stalls as required by the ADA, prior to the issuance of the building permit. Motion carried unanimously (5-0). Adopt Resolution 95-59. Authorizing the Preparation of Plans and Specifications. City Engineer Stonehouse reported the City of Arden Hills created a Surface Water Management utility on April 1, 1993. Among the many justifications for this new utility was the means of fimding five significant capital projects identified in the City's long-range Surface Water 509 Plan. At the time of this utility's inception, Council directed staff to complete the 509 capital projects on a regular and systematic basis such that they would be accomplished by 1997. Mr. Stonehouse indicated Staff recommends that Council consider authorizing a $32,000 1995 budget deviation that specifically approves the Lake Josephine 509 project in the Surface Water Management utility. Mr. Stonehouse noted Staff also recommends Council consider authorizing the City Engineer to prepare plans and specifications on this proposed 1995 project (Lake Josephine) and the proposed 1996 project (Karth Lake). This action will support the project work plan and assist in 1996 budget preparation. Mr. Stonehouse feels it would be cost effective to prepare plans and specifications for both and then the Council can choose one or both of the projects. I I. I I I I I I I I. I I I I . . . .- . ,ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - AUGUST 14.1995 11 Councilmember Malone inquired if there was an outlet in Kerth Lake. Mr. Stonehouse indicated there was not. Councilmember Malone suggested an alternate be added to include some sort of pump station or mechanism for outlet. MOTION: Malone moved and Hicks seconded a motion to adopt Resolution 95-59, Authorizing The Preparation of Plans and Specifications and also direct the City Engineer to prepare preliminAry analysis for a Karth Lake level control mechanism. Motion carried unAnimously (5-0). Midwest Asphalt Pav Estimate Number One (1) City Administrator Fritsinger indicated based upon the work completed as of July 31, 1995, the total amount of pay estimate number one is $376,375.65 and it is recommended by MSA consulting engineers, that retainage in the amount of$37,637.57 be withheld from the Contractor's payment. Councilmember Malone indicated he has no doubt that this reconstruction project is the worst he has ever encountered. He was unsure how to address the outstanding issues, but he noted the retainage fee may be a fair amount to withhold. He indicated if work continues in the same manner, the City use other options. Councilmember Hicks inquired as to the basis for the 10% retainage. Mr. Stonehouse noted the state allows a 5% retainage and MSA Consulting typically retains up to 10% on early pay estimates until such point that 5% of the entire contract is reached. Councilmember Hicks indicated the contractor will expect some retainage. Mr. Stonehouse indicated this is correct. Councilmember Hicks stated he felt work already done should be paid for, but a clear message needs to be sent to the contractor regarding the outstanding issues and the City's displeasure. He indicated the contractor should be told if the outstanding issues are not addressed, the next payment may not be as generous. Councilmember Aplikowski indicated since 10% is typically withheld, to send a clear message, she suggested an additional 5% should be added. She felt the contractor has not done right by the residents. Mayor Probst indicated he originally was inclined to hold the payment over for two weeks, but by the contract the City must pay in a timely manner. He suggested sending a full payment with the noted retainage, with a message from the City indicating future payments may not be as generous if the outstanding issue are not addressed. He noted once the asphalt is down, the City may hold a stronger position. I I. I I I I I I I I- I I I I I I I. I I tJIDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - AUGUST 14, 1995 1.2, Mr. Craig Wilson, 1677 West County Road F, commented that he felt an individual should get paid for doing their job. He noted that the residents realize this contractor is not responsible for all the problems, but there are many subcontractors and outside utility companies that have caused problems. Councilmember Hicks agreed that to hold the line would be prudent and utilize whatever mechanism is available to address the outstanding issues. City Attorney Filla, in response to comments regarding lawsuits, these comments could also be forwarded to the contractor, and noted that money would be retained to cover the City's legal costs. Mayor Probst noted the payment can be sent with a message that if the issues are not resolved the retainage on the next payment would be increased. MOTION: Hicks moved and Malone seconded a motion to authorize payment to Midwest Asphalt, Inc. in the amount of$338,738 and direct the City Administrator to send a letter indicating the Arden Hills City Council expects all open matters and potential concerns to be addressed before payment number two. Motion carried unanimously (5-0). TCAAP City Administrator Fritsinger indicated a public informational meeting was held in July. He noted the next Public Meeting will be August 24, 1995 at the Holiday Inn. Mr. Fritsinger indicated the TCAAP Task Force has presented two plans to the public and will be presenting a final plan for any comments. He noted once the Task Force has received all comments and input, they will be presenting this final plan to the City Council. Mr. Fritsinger noted that Congressman Vento's Committee will be meeting two more times in September and he will be presenting the Arden Hills plan. ADMlNISTRATOR COMMENTS Mr. Fritsinger commented on a few items: Boulevard trees: Mr. Fritsinger indicated he had received a letter requesting the planting of boulevard trees by the City. He noted he was not familiar with any City policy for the planting of boulevard trees, and was providing this for information to the Council for direction. I I. I I I I I I I .. I I I I I I I I- I .ARDEN HIT,LS CITY COUNCIL - AUGUST 14, 1995 13, Mayor Probst indicated this should go to the Park and Recreation Committee for their review and recommendation. HamIine Avenue/BetheI College: Mr. Fritsinger noted the Council would find a memorandum from Mr. Ringwald addressing a request to transfer part of Harnline Avenue to Bethel College. No specific action is required at this time. MNDOT still owns the parcel and the City would need to act as a facilitator in this process. Mayor Probst indicated the City may want to package this request with other issues regarding Bethel College. Letter from Anita Warner: Mr. Fritsinger reported he had received a letter from Ms. Warner requesting an investigation of severe drainage problems in the Arden Oaks area. He reported there is literally a river flowing through the property and from the pictures of the problem, it appears that the storrnwater runoff may be corning from Pascal Avenue. Mr. Fritsinger indicated Mr. Stonehouse and Mr. Ringwald will be investigating the situation. COUNCIL COMMENTS Councilrnember Malone expressed disappointment in the sealcoating ofHarnline. He thought they would correct the tire ruts, but it seems they just covered them over without filling them. Councilrnernber Aplikowski reported she had received numerous complaints regarding the timing of the Ogren EA W Meeting. Mr. Fritsinger indicated this is not a Public Hearing, but an opportunity for the public to make any comments, or have staff available for any questions. He noted the public can make comments anytime during the 30 day period. Councilrnernber Keim indicated there is still a problem with the trail on Katy Lane and the issue of the sprinkler washing sand onto the trail. Mr. Fritsinger indicated the property owner has been notified and no response, so a citation will be issued regarding this issue. Mayor Probst indicated he has been invited to several functions on Wednesday, August 16th, and any Councilrnember wishing to attend some of them was welcome. Mayor Probst indicated he would be attending the Minnesota Mayor's Conference in October. I I- I I I I I I I Ie I I I I I I I Ie I ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - AUGUST 14. 1995 1.1 Mayor Probst noted during the week of October 1st through October 7th there is a Cities' Week slated. He felt this would be a good opportunity to show appreciation for the City's volunteers. He proposed that an event should be organized so all the Councilmembers could attend. With the consent of Council he directed Staff to review this and get back to the Council with more information. ADJOURN MOTION: Malone moved and Hicks seconded a motion to adjourn the meeting at 10:00 p.m. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). NOTICE OF MEETINGS The next regular Council meeting will be held August 28, 1995, at 7:30 p.m., at New Brighton City Hall.
