BUSINESS FROM FLOOR
STREET LIGHTS; 1435
ARDEN OAKS DRIVE
Frank Dolinar, 1435 Arden Oaks Drive, questioned if
the City had plans to install street lights in his
neighborhood. He advised the residents in the area have
expressed concern relative to the darkness in the neighborhood since the area was
developed; he referred to the tragic event which recently occurred in the area
and explained that since the incident, the residents have again brought up the
subject of the need for street lighting.
.
Councilmember Malone stated the Council had adopted a three-phased street
lighting plan and has completed the first phase of the plan; installation of
street lights at all major intersections. He explained that the second and third
phases have not been implemented to date; the second phase would include street
lights in the area of Arden Oaks Drive and the third phase includes lights at
cul-de-sacs.
Malone noted that residents differed in oplnlon as to whether or not the lights
should be installed at the secondary intersections identified on the plan,
therefore, Council determined the second phase lights would be installed, at the
locations identified, upon formal request by residents of the neighborhoods. He
explained a formal request should be forwarded to the Public Safety/Works
Committee at the City Hall; the Committee meets the 3rd Thursday of each month.
Councilmember Hansen commented that the area of Arden Oaks Drive has underground
utilities; the lights provided by the City are mercury vapor lights at
intersections to be attached to existing poles. She noted the residents in
Dolinar's neighborhood had appeared before the PS/W Committee and were not
interested in this type of lighting.
Hansen suggested if the neighborhood is interested in another type of lighting
the costs would have to be assumed by the residents. She suggested Dolinar
discuss the matter with the residents and submit a proposal for alternative
lighting or a formal request for the lighting provided by the City to the
Committee and Council for discussion~
.
AMEND AGENDA Mayor Sather amended the agenda by adding: "Approval of
Planned Unit Development General Plan" under Item 7 (a),
and deleting "Hearing, 7:30 p.m." under the same Item. Council concurred.
CONSENT CALENDAR Councilmember Malone questioned the cost of the OSHA
gas detection kits, Item f, noting the cost should be
$4,665.00. Public Works Supervisor Raddatz concurred.

REPORT OF PLANNER
CASE #88-30; PUD,
REZONING & PRELIM.
PLAT, CONTINENTAL
DEVLPMT, OLD HWY 10
10 & 1-694
Council was referred to Planner Bergly's revised report
dated 4-5-89, relative to the application for PUD General
Plan Approval, Rezoning from R-l to R-4 and Preliminary
Plat Approval, Continental Development, Old Highway 10
and 1-694.
Bergly stated the proposed PUD requires three separate Council actions for
approval; General Plan approval, Preliminary Plat approval and approval of the
Rezoning from R-l to R-4. He explained the Planning Commission had recommended
approval of the General Plan submitted with several conditions, as listed in the
Planning minutes of 4-5-89. Bergly advised the applicant was requested to appear
before Planning Commission at their May meeting with a more detailed plan which
includes building materials and colors, building lengths, interior floor plans,
and which specifies the number and types of units contained in each building. He
also reviewed the other conditions listed in his report on page 7. Bergly noted
Council has the option to review the plans or authorize only Commission approval.
Council questioned if the applicant was prepared to address any of the above
listed issues; the applicant advised he was not prepared at this time.
Council concurred they would prefer the applicant prepare the plans, as
recommended by Planning Commission, prior to granting approval.
Councilmember Hansen expressed concern relative to the handicapped access to
garages from outside the buildings, especially during the winter months. She
suggested the applicant consider a design to provide handicapped accessibility
from the interior of the buildings to the garage.
Council discussed the trail maintenance for accessibility of emergency vehicles.
Planner Bergly advised it would be the responsibility of the developer to provide
maintenance of the trail.
Council discussed the possibility of the City being able to capture TIF
increments on this site.
Planner Bergly advised it appears the time frame for development should be
sufficient to accommodate both the developer and the City for inclusion in the
tax increment program. He stated there have been discussions relative to
utilizing the tax increment for public improvements; it was noted interest was
expressed in using the increments for park or trail improvement. Bergly explained
if the site is included as part of the TIF program public improvements should be
identified.

CASE #88-30 (Cont'd)
Councilmembers concurred they would prefer to review a
more detailed plan; no formal action was taken on General
Plan approval.
.
Planner Bergly advised the applicant is seeking approval of the Preliminary Plat
for financing purposes; he suggested such approval be contingent upon General
Plan approval, after Council review of the detailed plans.
Malone moved, seconded by Mahowald, that Council approve
the Preliminary Plat, Case #88-30, contingent upon approval of the PUD General
Plan and based on the following:
1. The proposed preliminary plat is necessary to accommodate financing of the
proposed PUD project and is designed specifically for the proposed General Plan.
2. The preliminary plat approval will be effective for development according
to the PUD General Plan. If the General Plan is not approved or withdrawn prior
to development, the preliminary plat will also be withdrawn.
3. Park dedication will be resolved prior to issuance of grading or building
permits.
Motion carried unanimously. (5-0)
Malone moved, seconded by Mahowald, that Council approve
the Rezoning, Case #88-30, from R-1 Single Family Residential, to R-4 Multiple
Dwelling District, contingent upon approval of the PUD General Plan and based on
... the following:
1. There have been zoning classification changes and development changes on
adjacent properties to the north which indicate that a higher density than that
shown on the Comprehensive Plan is appropriate.
2. A Concept Plan has been approved by the Village for a PUD which is found
to be acceptable to the Village and requires rezoning.
3. The rezoning will only be effective for development according to the
approved PUD General Plan, if that occurs. If the General Plan is not approved or
is withdrawn prior to development, the rezoning will revert to the R-1 District.
4. Rezoning is necessary to accomplish the development objectives proposed
in the PUD General Plan.
5. The R-4 rezoning will be

Acting Attorney Filla questioned if the developer understood the intent of the
two previous Council actions; the proposed Preliminary Plat and Rezoning approval
are contingent upon approval of the General Plan scheduled for submission at the
May 8 Regular Council meeting.
.
Chuck Cook, developer of the project, advised he understood the intent of the
Council actions.
Motion carried unanimously. (5-0)
CASE #89-03; SITE
PLAN REVIS., 1313
W. CO. RD. E,
Council was referred to the Planner's revised report
dated 4-6-89, relative to the application to construct
a minor addition to the McDonald's building at the SW
corner; an office and cashier window are proposed.
Bergly explained any modification to an existing SUP requires an amendment,
however, he explained the proposal does not intensify the business activity and
less traffic congestion. In his opinion the proposed changes would benefit both
the applicant and the Village. He stated the building addition will not protrude
out further than the existing pickup window and will allow faster service to
drive-through lines. Bergly noted that Council has the option to review this
as a Site Plan Revision or an amendment to the Special Use Permit.
Council concurred to review the matter as a site plan revision.
.
Bergly explained the Planning Commission recommended approval of the site plan
revision at their meeting of 4/5/89.

CASE #89-03 (Cont'd) Malone moved, seconded by Hansen, that Council approve
Case #89-03, Site Plan Revision for Building Addition,
1313 West County Road E, McDonalds, for a six-foot by 40-foot addition to provide
a cashier's window and office space, based on the following: 1) The modifications
will create a healthier, safer and more convenient service for patrons and the
general public, and 2) The modifications are considered minor and the special use
is existing, so treating the application as a site plan revision is appropriate.
Motion carried unanimously. (5-0)
REPORT OF CITY ENGINEER
RES. #89-18; APRV.
PLANS & SPECS, ST.
SEWER, 1680 OAK AVE
Council was referred to a report from Clerk Administrator
Berger dated 4-5-89, regarding the proposed storm sewer
utilities to serve the area of Oak Avenue.
Donald Lund, SEH, was present to review the plans prepared by Engineer Peters. He
explained the proposal is to install a 12" storm sewer from Oak Avenue to connect
with the existing 15" pipe on the Ramsey County park property; the plans include
construction of catch basins and resurfacing in the area where damage occurs due
to construction of the sewer line.
Lund advised the estimated cost of the sewer construction is $13,200.00. He
referred to Peters letter dated 4-10-89, which recommends the City seek informal
quotes rather than advertise for bids, since the project costs are below $15,000.
The letter also states that if the Council decides the costs will be assessed, he
recommends a feasibility report be prepared and a date set for pubic hearing with
the affects residents. Lund explained that the City will need to acquire drainage
and utility easement to construct and maintain the storm sewer; Peters
recommended the City Attorney begin the process of obtaining the easement.
Malone moved, seconded by Hansen, that Council approve
Resolution No. 89-18, Approving Plans And Specifications For The Installation Of
Storm Sewer Utilities To Serve 1680 Oak Avenue And Adjacent Areas (Improvement
No. ST 89-02). Motion carried unanimously. (5-0)
Acting Attorney Filla explained that if the City decides to specially assess the
costs of the project a public hearing is required; he suggested Council reserve
the possibility of the assessment process by holding a public hearing.
Micheal Daub, Attorney representing the Albergs, suggested Council consider
dispensing with the public hearing process. He stated the cost is less than
$15,000.00, it appears there are fewer property owners that are affected by the
improvement and, he reminded Council the public hearing process will extend the
time for project completion. Daub pointed out that Dr. Alberg is interested in
completion of the project and has indicated he will pay the costs to resurface
his driveway. Daub recommended Council proceed with the informal bid process.
There was Council discussion relative to assessing the costs of the proposed
project.
Councilmember Hansen questioned if the residents in the area had been previously
assessed for storm sewera
Filla and Berger advised they had not researched previous assessments.
Mayor Sather suggested the public hearing process be followed; he explained the
Council may decide not to assess the project, however, the option remains opena
Filla questioned if the plans prepared by the Engineer are sufficient to
advertise for bids.
Lund stated the plans are detailed enough to advertise for bids, however, a
feasibility study would have to be prepared.
There was discussion relative to the costs and time period for preparation of a
feasibility report and advertisement for bids. It was determined the completion
date of the project would be delayed approximately two weeks if the formal bid
process is followed and the feasibility report would not be lengthy.

STORM SEW. (Cont'd) Growe moved, seconded by Malone, that Council authorize
and direct the Engineer to prepare a feasibility report
for the Oak Avenue storm sewer improvements for the Regular Council Meeting held
May 8, prepare legal notice setting the date of Public Hearing for May 8, 1989,
at 7:30 p.m., and advertise for bids for the project with the bid opening be held
prior to the public hearing.
Councilmember Mahowald questioned if the Council favored the assessment process;
he was inclined to use General Funds to complete the project.
Attorney Filla advised that since a petition was not received from property
owners for the project, the Council could not award a contract that would be
subject to special assessments without four Council votes.
Mayor Sather, Councilmembers Malone and Growe, spoke in favor of assessing the
project; Hansen stated she would favor assessing the project if the residents had
not previously been assessed for storm sewer.
Motion carried. (Growe, Malone, Mahowald and Sather voted in favor; Hansen
opposed) (4-1)
Hansen moved, seconded by Malone, that Council direct the
Engineer and Attorney to obtain and prepare the utility and drainage easements
necessary to complete the Oak Avenue Storm Sewer project. Motion carried
unanimously. (5-0)
.
ODOR PROBLEM;
SNELLING AVE.
Council was referred to the report from Engineer Peters
dated 4-7-89, relative to the sewer odor problem on
Snelling Avenue.
Lund explained the odor has diminished over the winter months and Peters
recommends the monitoring proposed be delayed until the smell returns; the
residents were advised of the proposed delay and agreed. Lund advised the testing
lab could have a representative on site within two hours when the odor returns.
Council accepted the report and concurred with the recommendation.

Agreement
meeting.
Filla reviewed the changes made to the proposed Agreement, which has been signed
by Kern Milling:
.
Sections 1 & 4 - Amendments relate to conveyance of personal property
remaining on the site between the date of closing and possession; the seller
would have approximately 3 three weeks to remove materials from the site and

KEM MILLING (Cont'd) Filla advised the property owner is not interested in
sharing the cost of the environmental audit, nor would
they be interested in paying more than one-half of the taxes payable in 1989. He
stated if the City acquires the property this year the property would be
tax-exempt in 1990; the cost in 1989 would be approximately $7,500.00.
.
Clerk Administrator Berger reported briefly on the quotes received from three
firms for the environmental audit.
There was discussion relative to extension of the dates that the proposal would
remain valid, closing and purchase of the property; Council and Attorney Filla
expressed concern that the Phase I results from the environmental audit may not
be received prior to the date listed in the agreement. Filla advised this problem
was not anticipated and suggested the dates be extended.
Rolfe Warden, Attorney for Darling & Company, stated it appears the timing is
right and there is sufficient time to receive the results of the preliminary
audit.
After further discussion, the attorneys and Council agreed to amend the dates of
the agreement to coincide with the dates of the regularly scheduled Council
meetings and to allow sufficient time for the environmental audit results to be
reviewed by Council.
Hansen moved, seconded by Malone, that Council approve
the proposed Purchase Agreement between Darling & Company and the City of Arden
Hills, and authorize the Mayor and Clerk Administrator to execute the Agreement
... and supplement to the proposed purchase agreement, subject to the following:
1. Date of Closing to be changed from May 10, 1989 to June 12, 1989.
2. Date of Notice of Termination from April 27, 1989 to May 30, 1989.
3. Changes in dates to be reflected in amended paragraphs on proposed purchase
agreement; or be means of a separate supplement.
Motion carried unanimously. (5-0)
EVIRON. AUDIT;
KEM MILLING SITE
Council was referred to a memorandum from Berger dated
4-10-89, regarding three quotes received to conduct an
environmental audit at the Kem Milling site.
Berger advised the first phase of the audit will identify any hazardous materials
in the building that will need to be disposed of separately from the demolition;
pending the results of Phase I, Phases II and III may not be needed.
Councilmember Malone noted the quote from Braun does not include asbestos
testing. In reviewing the quote from Delta, Phase II of their proposal would
include asbestos testing.
.
Malone moved, seconded by Growe, that Council direct the
Clerk Administrator to enter into an agreement with Delta Environmental
Consultants to conduct Phase I and the parts deemed necessary of Phase II, of the
environmental audit of the KEM Milling site, and specific that Phase I of the
audit be completed and results returned to Council by May 24, 1989. Motion

LEASE AGREEMENT;
CELLULAR ONE
Council was referred to a memorandum from Berger dated
4-7-89, relative to the proposed Cellular One Water Tower
Lease Agreement.
Acting Attorney Filla reviewed the amendments to the agreement and referred
Council to his letter dated 4-5-89, which outlines the changes requested by the
Attorney representing Cellular One in his correspondence of 3-28-89. Filla
advised the following three items were not inserted in the draft agreement:
.
1. The Telephone Company requested rental adjustments be maximized at 20%
per rental terms, as opposed to a straight comparison to the increase in the cost
of living index over the same period of time.
2. The Telephone Company would like paragraph 6(e) to permit immediate access
by the Telephone Company in the event of an emergency or equipment failure.
3. The Telephone Company would like to add paragraph 16 (h) which indicates
that as long as the Telephone Company is attempting to cure any defaults with due
diligence, the time for curing the default will be extended until the Telephone
Company remedies the situation.
.

CELLULAR ONE (Cont'd) In addition, Filla advised the Council should determine
the amount of base rent and addition rent, as stated in
Section 4 and the amount of reimbursement for costs as stated in Section 16(e).
He noted the Agreement continues to be contingent upon the receipt of an access
easement from Control Data.
Filla advised that Cellular One indicated they are willing to accept the
insertion of a paragraph which would specify the rental adjustments would be made
gradually over a five year period, at the rate of no greater than 4% per year
instead of no increase for 5 years and then a 20% increase. He stated the
proposal is more beneficial to the City and had been negotiated by the Clerk
Administrator.
Bryan Rogers, Cellular One, provided Councilmembers with a projected 15 year
rental income per municipalities.
Rogers and Council discussed and agreed to the following amendments to the
proposed agreement:
-Reasonable Expenses: The Telephone Company agrees to pay $1,000.00 to the
City to cover expenses, such as legal, engineering and other administrative
costs, incurred in reviewing the proposed Lease Agreement, and $200.00 per
occasion toward any subsequent reviews.
-Emergency Access: The Telephone Company will be required to notify the
Public Works Supervisor or Ramsey County Sheriffs Department prior to entering
the tower for emergency situations; the Public Works Supervisor will provide a
key for access.
-Annual Rental Adjustments: The Telephone Company agrees to pay an annual
increased rental amount during the entire term of the lease, based on the cost of
living index during the previous year, which shall not exceed four percent of the
of the previous years' rent.
Council discussed the monthly base rent; it was suggested the amount be set at
$600.00 per month for the base rent and an additional fee of $25.00 per month for
each microwave antenna installed, up to a maximum of two.
Filla noted the Agreement provides three portable telephones for use by the City
for a period of one year. He explained the telephones are provided by Cellular
One and the City would for pay for time the phones are in use and a monthly
rental fee for the equipment at the government rate. Filla stated Council may
determine whether or not to utilize this option.
Rogers expressed opposition to the proposed $600.00 per month base rent; he
stated a precedent would be set in his dealings with other communities in the
area.
Council concurred that the Agreement offers the tenant 60 days to cure defaults
and, if necessary, the Telephone Company could request an extension.
Rogers stated this request, relative to the curing of defaults, may be deleted.
Mahowald moved, seconded by Growe, that Council authorize
the Mayor and Clerk Administrator to execute the proposed Water Tower Lease
Agreement with Cellular One, contingent upon the following amendments to the
Agreement:
1. The base rental fee be $600.00 per month and an additional $25.00 per
month, per microwave antenna installed, up to a maximum of two microwave antenna.
Councilmember Hansen stated she did not favor the motion; she preferred either a
set fee of $600.00 including two microwave antennas or as proposed to be
compatible with similar neighboring cities.
Filla and Berger advised they had contacted other communities and determined the
$600.00 rental fee was reasonable.
