Morrison, Clerk Administrator Re: Council Agenda Items --------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Item 6) SprinR ProRram Leaders - John will be present to discuss this matter with the Council. (Item 7) Planner's Report: A. Case 87-07: SUP, 1830 W. County Road E (Schmidt). The applicant currently rents rooms, in her home, to colle~e students. Mrs. Schmidt is interested in selling her home. and is requestin~ this practice be allowed to continue (requires a SUP in an R-2 District.' The Planning Commission unanimously recommended denial of the SUP, citing concerns that: approval may set a precedent; the use was inappropriate in a residential setting; current use is in violation of the zoning code; and further, that the requested usaRe could become a . nuisance to the neighbors, i.e., noise. traffic. etc. B. Case 87-06: Fence Variance. 1233 Karth Lake Dr. The applicant has requested a 2 ft. height variance for a fence (code limitation of 6 ft; request is for 8 ft.) to block a rear yard view of Hi~hway 96. The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the request for a variance. C. Case 87-08: Site Plan Review/Setback Variance (Scherer). As lumberyards are permitted uses only in 1-1 and 1-2 Industrial Districts, the applicant will be returning for a rezoning from B-2 to Industrial (although the existing use has been grandfathered in, with any modification to the building, proper zoning is required). However, at this time, the applicant is requesting approval of their site plan for expansion and renovation of the lumberyard. They are also requesting variances for setback, site coverage and sign hei~ht. The Planning Commission recommended approval, contingent upon approval of a rezoning application, all but the sign height variance. Orlyn's conclusions (page 3 of his memo) all appear to be very relevant. D. Case 87-09: Setback Variance, 3290 Lake Johanna Blvd. The applicant is renovating her home and is requesting a front and side yard setback variance. In an R-2 District, the front yard setback requirement is 40 ft. and the side yard setback aggregate minimum is 15 ft. The Planning Commission recommended approval of a 5 ft. variance from . Code standards for front and side yard setbacks for this site. .. .. . (Item 8) Hwy 96/Hamline Rezonina: The applicant has requested continuance to the April 27th meetin8, as a rezonina requires a 4/5 vote and there will be only three Councilmembers present at the April 13th meeting. * (Item 9) Authorization to Select Architect Fire Station 4: The Committee for Fire Station #4 met last Saturday. It was the Committee's consensus to request the Councils of Arden Hills and Shoreview to authorize selection of an architect for Station 4 (see Mr. Malone's memo to the Mayor). The Shoreview Council passed a motion to this effect at their April 6th meeting. The next Station 4 Committee meeting will be Saturday, May 9, at 9:00 a.m. in the Shoreview City Hall. (Item 10) Public Works Supervisor Report: Bob is bringing back the majority of discussion items which he brought to your attention at the March 30th meeting. Bob will have his Street Sweeping memo available on Monday night, as he is receiving more information on Monday. * We received a memo this morning (4/10) from North Oaks, as attached, . requesting a meeting with the Arden Hills Council, if they felt it appropriate to meet. You may wish to place this on the Agenda for discussion. . -------- . - t8~rh . ONE PlEASAN,'{JJ Igge ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA 55110 61:2-484.5777 Mayor Robert L. Woodbum City of Arden Hills 1450 West Highway 96 Arden Hills, Minnesota 55112 . April 9, 1987 Dear Mayor Woodburn: On March 27,1987, Pat Morrison attempted to set up a three city joint council meeting to discuss the establishment of criteria relating to the financial obligation of each city for fire protection services, but the City of Shoreview indicated they did not wish to participate. If you feel it would be beneficial, the North Oaks City Council would like to hold a joint City Council meeting with Arden Hills, As an alternative, we could have a meeting that would include several representatives from each city with the intent of bringing back a unified proposal to each City Council. The current attitudes of the three cities appears to be as follows: North Oaks is willing to participate at the same fmanciallevel as under the current contract. Shoreview is fmnly committed to their . original proposal (Station #1= 100% Arden Hills; Station #2=50% Shoreview, 50% North Oaks; Station #3=100% Shoreview; Station #4= 50% Shoreview, 50% Arden Hills). I am not sure what the current position is of Arden Hills. However, I perceive it to be one of hesitation to fully commit to the financial obligation of Shoreview's proposal, and yet committed to insuring adequate fire protection for their city. Obviously, all three cities cannot simultaneously realize their positions, Our Council is open to suggestions and proposals from all participants. However, as a follow up , to proposals, we would like to discuss the criteria and basis for the development of each proposal, The City of Shoreview has made a specific proposal for the cost distribution of four stations, but we have not seen their justification for this proposal, We would welcome an opportunity to discuss their justifications for, or possible modifications to this proposal. We hope their decline of your invitation last week for a joint council meeting was not an indication that they are unwilling to discuss the issues. If your City Council has defmitely committed itself to 1) participating in Station #4 on a 50/50 basis with Shoreview, and 2) providing 100% of the support for Station #1 as your only other financial participation in fire protection services, then it may not be worthwhile for our two cities to hold either a joint City Council meeting, or a meeting with several council members from each city, However, without trying to interfere in your negotiations with Shoreview, if you are open to other suggestions, we would like to hold a meeting with your council members, and with Shoreview ( if they are interested) , in the near future, To present our City Council's position straightforward and openly, our main concern is Station #2, and how it will receive sufficient financial support, We are unable to provide total support for this . station, and I believe all three cities and the UVFD are aware of this. If Station #2 were to close down, it would affect Arden Hills and Shoreview as well as North Oaks. ---- ----- . - April 9, 1987 Page Two . If you feel Station #2 provides worthwhile benefits to your city and you are willing to discuss providing some fmancial support for its continued operation after June 30, 1987, then I believe it would be beneficial for members of our City Councils to hold a meeting. This letter is also intended to be an open invitation to the City of Shoreview to join our two cities in an effort to establish satisfactory agreements among our cities and with the Lake Johanna Volunteer Fire Department Sincerely, ~ ~~ ~s Burak ' North Oaks City Council cc: City of Shoreview Dan Winkel,lJVFD . . MINUTES OF THE ARDEN HILLS REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING:L'\', r" Monday, March 30, 1987 - Village Hall . CALL TO ORDER Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, Mayor Woodburn called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. ROLL CALL The roll being called the following members were present: Mayor Woodburn, Councilmembers Dale Hicks, Nancy Hansen, Gary Peck and Thomas Sather. Also present were Engineers Donald Christoffersen and Barry Peters, Planner Orlyn Miller, Parks Director John Buckley, Public Works Supervisor Robert Raddatz, Clerk Administrator Patricia Morrison and Deputy Clerk Catherine Iago. Treasurer Donald Lamb arrived at 9:00 p.m. APPROVE MINUTES Moved by Sather, seconded by Peck, that Council approve the minutes of the Regular Council meeting of March 9th and the Special Council meeting of March 21, 1987, as submitted. Motion carried unanimously. (5-0) BUSINESS FROM FLOOR Virgil Graves, 3580 North Snelling, questioned the status of the condemnation proceedings on Lindey's Triangle. Graves also asked if the existing roadway would be used as part of the parcel, if the City obtains the property, or would continue to be used as a road. After discussion, Council advised that no determination would be made regarding the parcel until condemnation proceedings have been completed. RES. NO. 87-18: JOSH Mayor Woodburn read the resolution congratulating Josh . KLICK, EAGLE SCOUT Klick for attaining the rank of Eagle Scout; he presented the resolution to Josh. Woodburn asked Josh what community service project he had completed to obtain the rank of eagle scout. Josh stated he had fingerprinted the children at his school and advised their parents how the process would help locate the children if they were reported missing. Moved by Hansen, seconded by Peck, that Council approve Resolution No. 87-18, RESOLUTION CONGRATULATING JOSH KLICK FOR ATTAINING THE RANK OF EAGLE SCOUT. Motion carried unanimously. (5-0) BRADFORD SITE, Planner Miller reviewed his memorandum of 3/23/87; 3200 HAMLINE; regarding use of the site on Lake Josephine which was LITTLE BROS. obtained by the Little Brothers/Friends of the Elderly through the will of John P. Bradford. Miller was contacted by John Hoffman, attorney for the Little Brothers organization, who explained the specifications of the will and asked for an interpretation of how the proposed uses comply with the zoning requirements of the R-l District. After consultation with the Zoning Administrator, Miller determined that none of the definitions of the zoning ordinance fit the proposed "retreat center" classification precisely. The Planner consulted Attorney Lynden and concluded that the "institutional housing" definition could be considered applicable; noting that would require obtaining a Special Use Permit for the site. Another alternative Miller proposed was the addition of a . specific definition for "retreat center" to the zoning ordinance; noting this would require a public hearing to amend the ordinance. Miller further stated the property could be rezoned, however, this would reduce the City's control. The Planner advised that the zoning ordinance provides for Council determination when questions arise regarding whether a proposed use falls within a permitted or special use category; he recommended that the proposed retreat center be interpreted as a specially permitted use in the R-I District under the institutional housing use category. John Hoffman and Mary Quirk, representing the Little Brothers organization were present. Mary Quirk outlined the proposed use of the site for underprivileged and elderly persons. . After discussion, Council concurred that the proposed use of the site be interpreted as a specially permitted use in the R-l District, under the institutional housing use category and that the Little Brothers organization be directed to make application for a Special Use Permit for the retreat center after their plans are formulated. ---- --------- Minutes of the Regular Council Meeting, March 30,1987 Page 2 HAMLINE AVE. Council was referred to Planner's memorandum (3/25/87), . LANDSCAPING re: additional landscaping on Hamline Avenue. Planner Miller reviewed the original plan for landscaping Hamline and identified areas where additional plantings appeared feasible since substantial completion of construction had been accomplished. He and the Engineer determined additional plantings would enhance the area. Miller stated the cost increase would be approximately $4,800; based on unit prices in the original landscape bid. Barry Peters of SEH identified the 56 additional plantings; 28 Flowering Crab trees, 6 Maple trees, 1 Black Hills Spruce and 20 Dogwood shrubs. Council discussed whether or not homeowner's should be contacted for input; responsibility for maintenance of the plantings; enhancement of Hamline Avenue as a "gateway" street in the City. Miller stated the residents were not contacted for input on the original landscape plan or the additional plantings; he noted that it is the homeowners responsibility to maintain the boulevard plantings. Moved by Hicks, seconded by Sather, that Council approve the additional landscaping on Hamline Avenue as presented and directed the Engineer to prepare Change Order No. 1. Motion carried unanimously. (5-0) EDGEWATER ESTATES; Council was referred to Change Order No. 4, relative to CHANGE ORDER NO.4 the Edgewater Estates project. . Barry Peters of SEH reviewed the three items listed: noted that the cost for Item #3 on the change order would be charged back to the developer for improper grading of the boulevards. Hicks moved, seconded by Hansen, that Council approve Change Order No. 4 on the Edgewater Estates project, in the amount of $3,398.50 and furthermore, that the developer reimburse the City in the amount of $2,321.00 for the improper grading of the boulevards along Bruberry Lane and Wedgewood Circle. Motion carried unanimously. (5-0) GLENVIEW AVE; Council was referred to letter from Barry Peters of SEH STORM SEWER (3-26-87) re: the flooding problem on Glenview Avenue and Glenview Court. Barry Peters reviewed the history of the drainage problems and previous attempts to alleviate the problem. Peters summarized his recommendations for correcting the drainage problem: 1. Replacing the 18" CMP outlet with a larger capacity concrete pipe and installing high capacity catch basins at the low point on Glenview Ave. and the two catch basins southwest of Glenview Court. 2. Constructing a bermed drainage swale, behind the curb, and extend from the swale from the low point to the property line then east along the north property line to Valentine Park. . 3. Construct a small berm in front of 3946 Glenview to reduce the potential for water jumping curb and draining across the Caniff's property. The estimated cost of the recommended system, including engineering, legal and administrative costs is $23,000.00. Council ,discussed various methods of funding for the project or if the project CQuld be included as part of the Edgewater Estates development. The Engineer stated he would contact the developer for the Edgewater project to determine if Glenview Avenue could be done in conjunction with Edgewater and to receive a cost estimate. The Public Works Supervisor advised he would review the 1987 budget to . determine if funds are available for the project. There was discussion regarding catch basin and pipe design, and potential water damage to park property. Barry Peters gave rationale for size of pipe and catch basin design; also explained that the catch basin apron at Valentine Park would include rock for water distribution. --------- -- A Minutes of the Regular Council Meeting, March 30,1987 Page 3 STORM SEWER Hicks moved, seconded by Hansen, that Council direct the (CONT'D) Engineer to contact C.W.Houle, contractor for the . Edgewater Estates project, and obtain a firm cost estimate for installation of the proposed storm sewer system on Glenview Avenue in conjunction with the Edgewater Estates project: and further, that the Public Works Supervisor determine if funding is available in the 1987 budget. Motion carried unanimously. (5-0) TEMPORARY EASEMENTS Mayor Woodburn asked if the Engineer recalled any occasion where payment was received for granting a temporary easement to the City for underground utility work. Christoffersen advised he did not have any recollection of the City paying for a temporary easement: usually after completion of a project the land is restored to the same or, in some casest better condition than it was previous to the work.

He advised that there would be 21 occasions of bingo at the hall; one licensee can operate two bingo games per week, not to exceed an 8 hour period of time. Adams stated that the occasions will be held Wednesday through Sunday; with 7 licensed organizations operating two games per week. Adams stated that these two applications are the final requests for organizations operating at the 3776 Connelly Avenue site. A representative of the Guadalupe Mexican Education Society gave a brief explanation of their charitable operation. Jim Adams reviewed the history of the Trade Lake Camp facility. There was discussion regarding the selection process for charities operating in the bingo hall and organization of management of the bingo occasions. Clerk Administrator Morrison noted that the applications are for Class A Charitable Gambling Licenses; which includes Raffles, Paddlewheels, Tipboards and Pull-Tabs, as well as Bingo. Councilmembers expressed concern regarding the impact of the charitable gambling operation on the Village. There was discussion of the Attorney's letter (3-27-87) which outlined enactment of a charitable gambling ordinance. Council reviewed the ordinances of some other cities and discussed restrictions which may be placed on the charitable gambling activities; some members strongly agreed with the suggested provision for a phaseout period and favored the more restrictive ordinances. . Peck moved, seconded by Hicks, that Council direct the Village Attorney to draft regulations which pertain to Charitable Gambling in Arden Hills. Motion carried unanimously. (5-0) In discussion. Councilmembers questioned the number of bingo occasions allowed by State law; noting that these two applications bring the number of organizations operating at 3776 Connelly Avenue to 7 charities.

Motion carried. (Hicks, . Sather, Hansen, Woodburn voting in favor; Peck voting in opposition) (4-1) NO PARKING; Hansen moved, seconded by Sather, that Council discuss MOUNDS VIEW H.S. the No Parking Area, Mounds View High School, at this time. Motion carried unanimously. (5-0) Minutes of the Regular Council Meeting, March 30,1987 Page 5 . NO PKING (CONT'D) Council was referred to the Public Safety/Works Committee minutes (3-19-87) relative to the parking problems in the area of Mounds View High School. Mayor Woodburn suggested the installation of 2-hour parking between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. signs in the area. Hicks noted the parking lot is not full during the day; questioned why students do not use the lot. Clerk Administrator Morrison reviewed how the School District is attempting to alleviate the problem by issuing permit parking for the limited on-site parking spaces. She stated that the school is monitoring tne parking lot on a daily basis and issuing a certain number per week, until the maximum parking limit is reached. Morrison also advised that Mr. Rudolph of the School District has asked parents to encourage students to ride the bus. Hansen reviewed the area residents concerns: blocking of mailboxes, litter, limited accessibility for emergency vehicles, access to personal driveways and general safety factors. Philip Vogel, 1817 Janet Court, stated that the problems exists in the evening hours, as well as daytime hours, particularly during football season. Mayor Woodburn advised that Council has placed the matter of parking during . football season on their fall agenda. Sather explained to the residents that Council intent for limited parking in this area is not to restrict residents of Janet Court; but rather to increase enforceability. Richard Tangen, 1800 Janet Court, stated that he is a five-year resident in the area; this is the first year there has been a problem. Tangen was unsure if a two hour limit would solve the problem and suggested either parking by permit or no parking between 7:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. would be better. Morrison stated that Paul Malone of the PS/W Committee had obtained cost estimates for parking permits; decals for parking permits are approximately $150.00 per 100. She further advised that Jerry Bergeron of the Sheriff's Department explained that the decals are easily duplicated. Bergeron had also stated that Sheriff's Department personnel could be notified by area residents if they plan a social function that would increase parking on a specific date. Alaine Will, 1810 Janet Court, had monitored the Mounds View school parking lot for two days and noted 57-60 open spaces in the lot. She stated that a 2-hour parking limit would help correct the parking situation. Mike Murlowski, 1803 Janet Court, agreed with the 2-hour parking limit concept. Hicks stated that this would be a positive step; if the situation is not corrected Council and residents can discuss alternate solutions. . Peck stated that students may be able to move the vehicles during the day to reduce the chance of receiving a parking violation. Moved by Sather, seconded by Hicks, that Council approve the posting of two-hour parking, between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., signs on Janet Court, Fairview Avenue, Rolling Hills Road and Gramsie Avenue. Motion carried. (Sather, Hicks, Peck and Woodburn voting in favor; Hansen voting in opposition) (4-1) CHAR. GAMBLING Council concurred that the provisions of the Charitable ORDINANCE DISC. Gambling Ordinance should be discussed further before directing the Village Attorney to draft the ordinance. Peck moved, seconded by Hansen, that the discussion of . enactment of the Charitable Gambling Ordinance be continued to the regular Council meeting to be held on April 27, 1987, at the Village Hall. Motion carried unanimously.

SALARY INCR.; Council was referred to memorandum from Public Works J. MOONEY Supervisor (3-27-87) re: one year salary step increase for Public Works employee Joe Mooney. Raddatz noted the Public Works union contract provision for an increase to 90% of base pay at the end of one year of employment. He reported that Joe is a good worker, willing to learn, a very good mechanic and is knowledgeable about all types of equipment; he recommended the step increase. Sather moved, seconded by Peck, that Council approve the salary step increase from 80% to 90% of the base pay received by the other Public Works Employees (being $11.73 per hour), in accordance with the contract provisions, effective April 1, 1987. Motion carried unanimously. (5-0) ADVERTISE BID; Council was referred to memorandum from Public Works ONE-TON TRUCK Supervisor (3-27-87) re: advertising for bids for a one-ton truck, to be used by Parks and Public Works Departments. Raddatz explained that $13,500 was budgeted in 1987; the cost estimate for the new vehicle, including box, hoist and snow plow, is approximately $19,000, therefore, the old truck will be traded in to cover the cost differential. Sather asked if the truck bid would be independent of the box, hoist and snow . plow bid. Raddatz advised it would; he is using the bid specifications from two years ago. Sather moved, seconded by Peck, that Council authorize the advertisement for bids for the purchase of a one ton truck for the Parks Department, and advertisement for bid for the purchase of a box, hoist and snow plow. Motion carried unanimously. (5-0) ADVERTISE BID; Council was referred to memorandum from Public Works JETTER TRUCK Supervisor (3-27-87) re: advertising for bids for replacement of the jetter truck. Raddatz explained that the funds for replacement of the jetter truck were included in the 1986 budget; Council elected to defer the purchase. He advised that even though the truck is in good shape, it is 17 years old and an important piece of equipment. Council discussed costs for replacement of the water pump or motor on the old jetter truck. Raddatz advised that the truck would not be worth anymore in trade if either of the costly repairs on the truck were made. Sather moved, seconded by Peck, that Council authorize the advertisement for bids for the purchase of a new jetter truck. Motion carried unanimously. (5-0) . LEVELING OF CURBS Council was referred to Raddatz's memorandum (3-27-87) relative to the problem of sunken curbs. Raddatz explained he had consulted with SEH regarding correcting the problem and had a contractor demonstrate the process of leveling the curb sections by mudjacking. A survey shows approximately 1,000 feet of curb needs repair, in the Karth Lake area, and less extensive amounts in other areas. He proposed that 300-400 feet of curb be done each year until the problem is corrected. Raddatz estimated the cost of mudjacking at $3.75 per foot of curb and gutter; since this was not budgeted for in 1987 and very little sand or salt was used this year, he suggested using the amount budgeted for sand/salt to cover the cost of mudjacking this year. He noted that one resident has lost a muffler due to the sunken curb; he questioned the liability of the City if subsequent losses of this nature are reported. . Hansen moved, seconded by Sather, that Council approve the expenditure not to exceed $1,600.00 in 1987, Public Works General Fund 101-43100-224, for mudjacking curbs in 1987, and that funds be budgeted for 300 to 400 feet of curb each year until the problem has been corrected. Motion carried unanimously. (5-0) 'Minutes of the Regular Council Meeting, March 30,1987 Page 7 PURCHASE OF GARAGE Council was referred to Raddatz's memorandum (3-27-87) DOORS FOR PW SHOP re: purchase of garage doors for Maintenance Shop. . Raddatz recommended the purchase of the two small doors, with automatic openerst in 1987 and the purchase of three doors in 1988. Sather moved, seconded by Peck, that Council approve the expenditure of $2,900.00 for two garage doors and automatic openers, for the Maintenance Shop. Motion carried unanimously. (5-0) DISCUSSION ITEMS Council was referred to the following memorandums from the Public Works Supervisor: Street Sweeping, Tractors for Public Works and Parks Department, Alarm System, Storm Sewers (Townhouse Villages), Summer Employment and House Numbering.

Council commented on the proposed size of the station; expectation was for a smaller size station and they did not see justification for a four-bay station at the Island Lake site in Shoreview. Mayor Woodburn stated his opinion was that it was not necessary to start with a 4-bay station and full compliment of equipment. . Councilmember Hansen reported that the Bill for use of the land was signed and Shoreview is ready to begin the joint station. She commented that Arden Hills entered into the joint agreement believing the facility would be a smaller operation with locker room and air tank storage facilities; no training room or hose tower was discussed. Hansen stated it is her opinion that Arden Hills should maintain its position for a smaller joint fire station at the Island Lake site. She also suggested that Arden Hills Councilmembers should decide at this time to continue with the Joint Powers Agreement or terminate the agreement. Councilman Hicks stated that when the Colestock site for the joint station was discussed by Shoreview/Arden Hills, there was no mention of a four-bay station. Mayor Woodburn asked for Council direction regarding this matter. There was no further discussion. REPORT OF CLERK ADMINISTRATOR RECYCLING Clerk Administrator advised Council that Paul Malone.

CALL TO ORDER Pursuant to due call and notice thereof. Chairman Curtis called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. ROLL CALL Present: Chairman Robert Curtis, Peter Martin, Calvin Meury, Scott Petersen, Rick Savage, Gary Thorn and Dorothy Zehm. Absent: Thomas Babcook, and Maurice Johnson. Also Present: Mayor Robert Woodburn, Councilmember Jeanne Winiecki, Planner Orlyn Miller and Deputy Clerk Catherine Iago. APPROVE MINUTES Moved by Meury, seconded by Savage, that the minutes of March 4, 1987, be approved as submitted. Motion carried. (Meury, Savage, Curtis, Martin and Zehm voting in favor; Petersen and Thorn abstained) (5-0-2) CASE NO. 87-06; Planner Miller reviewed the request for a variance from VAR. FROM FENCE fence height requirements, 1233 Karth Lake Drive. He HEIGHT, 1233 advised that the house is constructed at an elevation KARTH LAKE DR. approximately 2 ft. above the ground elevation at the fence, and the highway is at a higher elevation; the 6 ft. fence does not block the view of traffic on Highway 96. The applicant is proposing to increase the height of the fence to 8 ft., requiring a 2 ft. variance. The Planner commented that the proposed 8 ft. fence will not obstruct view from . the adjacent house. He recommended approval of the request due to that fact that an 8 ft. fence would have little or no negative impact on the adjacent property and the request can be justified because the slope of the land renders a 6 ft. fence of limited value for screening views of Highway 96. Planning Commission members were referred to the Board of Appeals minutes of 3/26/87, recommending approval of the requested variance. Member Savage asked Robert Larson if the additional two feet would be sufficient for his attempt to screen traffic. Larson stated the two feet would be sufficient; he advised that he did not think it would completely eliminate the view. Curtis asked if the applicant proposed to extend the fence in the future. Larson stated he may extend the fence at a later date, but he will not exceed the six foot height requirement if fence is extended. Moved by Zehm, seconded by Meury, that Commission recommend to Council approval of the 2 foot height variance for the fence at 1233 Karth Lake Drive, Case No. 87-06, because the adjacent properties will not be negatively impacted and because the land terrain prevents adequate screening of the highway view at a 6 foot height, as permitted by Ordinance. Motion carried unanimously. (7-0) . ~ Minutes of Regular Planning Commission Meeting, April 1, 1987 Page 2 CASE NO. 87-08; Planner Miller explained that the applicant is proposing to . SITE PLAN REVIEW expand and renovate the existing lumberyard at the SCHERER BROTHERS intersection of Highway 10 and I-35W. The property is LUMBER , HWY 10 currently zoned B-2, General Business and lumberyards are defined as a "manufacturing an processing" use (permitted in the I-1 and 1-2 Industrial Districts. The applicant is requesting rezoning of the entire 5.8 acre parcel to the 1-2 General Industrial District, however, the application was received too late to allow adequate time for advertising the public hearing. Therefore, the Planning Commission cannot act on the rezoning issue this evening. He also noted the rezoning is considered primarily a technical matter to bring the existing use into conformance with the ordinance. Miller advised the applicant has requested the Commission review and make a recommendation on the site plan and associated variances, contingent upon future rezoning. He explained the proposed renovation/expansion plans for the site and commented as follows: - The reorganization/reconstruction of facilities on the existing site (south portion) represent significant improvement of the development. - The use of new linear storage buildings, to provide screening at the edge of the site is also considered beneficial. - The proposal ignores all setback requirements, therefore scrutiny of the individiual setback conditions is warranted (West, North and East property lines) . - The proposed sign is 10 feet higher than permitted by ordinance. The sign will be approximately 150 ft. from the northbound driving lane and this relationship to a major highway may justify the height variance. . - There are two areas which may require additional screening; the south property line (west of the existing buildings) because of the mobile home park and the north end of the site to screen low-level view from southbound Highway 10. - The floodlights directed toward the adjacent residences should be eliminated or relocated. Planner recommended the following variances are considered acceptable, on the basis of site analysis and the unique relationship to adjacent highways (in terms of distance and grade differential): a. Fifty-foot setback variance at west property line. (50 ft. required, o ft. proposed) . b. Fifty-foot setback variance at north property line (50 ft. required, Oft. proposed) . c. The standard 20-foot setback should be maintained for the parking lot adjacent to Highway 10. If the location of the existing building makes that impossible, a reduced setback of no less than 10 feet would be acceptable. d. A setback of 20 to 25 feet should be provided for the new storage building adjacent to Highway 10. Miller also recommended screen fencing should be provided at the north and south ends of the site where buildings do not block views into the site. . ________u__.__________ . Minutes of Regular Planning Commission Meeting, April 1. 1987 Page 3 . SITE PLAN Another recommendation was that floodlights directed toward the (Cont'd) adjacent residences should be eliminated or relocated. He noted that the City should, as a condition of approval, retain the right to require re-orientation of light fixtures if light sources or glare are directly visible from adjacent roadways or properties. Larry Leitschuh, Manager of Scherer Lumber, reviewed the building plans and proposed renovation of the site for the Commission members. He advised that approval had been received from HNDOT to plant and maintain trees on the highway right-of-way, as per Permit No. 86S-200 (see letter of 2/5/87). Curtis asked if the plans presented addressed the concerns of the Planner. Leitschuh stated he had been in contact with the Planner and discussed the concerns; he advised that he is willing to work with the Planner regarding the relocation of lighting, landscaping and any other conditions the Commission members deem necessary. Meury asked the applicant to review the drainage plan. Leitschuh advised a drainage plan was included and he stated adequate drainage is provided on the site. He noted that he had received permission from and Rice Creek Watershed and Bonestroo Engineering had constructed the drainage system on the site. . Planner advised that he had discussed the drainage issue with the applicant; it appears that the applicant has gone through the proper channels. He stated that the Commission could recommend approval contingent upon the Engineer's review and approval of the drainage plan. Thorn asked what screening would be provided for the trailer park. Leitschuh reviewed the landscape plan and the screening provided for the mobile home park. There was discussion of the sign variance request; if the sign would be lighted or have a reader board attached. and what verbiage would be displayed. Leitshuh advised plans for the sign have not been finalized, however, it would be for identification purposes and would probably just display the company name. He noted that it may be lighted, but would not have a reader board. Thorn expressed concern regarding the size of the sign; stated the lumber yard is easily visible from the highway. Leitshuh noted that if Scherer is successful in their screening efforts visibility from the highway would be lessened. Thorn asked Planner if a "sunset provision" could be included so that the zoning would revert back should the lumber business cease or if a SUP would be . a better approach; if neither apply to the situation, what impact would the industrial zone have on the surrounding area. ---------- -------- . Minutes of Regular Planning Commission Meeting, April 1, 1987 Page 4 SITE PLAN Planner advised that neither approach would apply; he discussed . (Cont'd) the permitted uses in the industrial district. He stated that given the limited access to the site, the industrial uses defined may conform more with the area. Miller stated his opinion is that he sees no problems with the proposed rezoning to I-2; noted the Arsenal property, in the Comprehensive Plan, has been designated as an industrial district. Commission members consensus was that the overall site plan is good and there are no apparent problems with the proposed rezoning requests. however, issues may arise at the Public Hearing for rezoning. There was discussion re: procedure for recommendations relating to the site plan; lighting, landscaping and drainage plans; and related variances. Planner noted several procedural approaches Commission may pursue. Moved by Zehm, seconded by Savage. that Commission recommends Council approval of the Site Plan, Case 87-08, Scherer Brothers Lumber Company, 4947 Highway 10, contingent upon approval of the Rezoning application at a future hearing and subject to future amendments based on information arising from the Public Hearing. Furthermore, that Commission recommends Council approval of the requested Variances and related plans as follows: 1. A 50 ft. setback variance at the west property line. 2. A 50 ft. setback variance at the north property line. 3. A 50 ft. setback variance at the east property line. 4. A Site Coverage variance of approximately 20%. . 5. The Lighting Plan is subject to City Planner approval. 6. The Landscape Plan, with additional screening provided on the South and North sides of the site, is subject to City Planner approval. 7. The Drainage Plan is subject to City Engineer review and approval. Motion carried unanimously. (7-0) CASE NO.87-09; Planner reviewed the request for a 5 foot front yard and SETBACK VAR'S, 5 foot side yard variance as outlined in the letter from 3290 SANDEEN RD Keith Waters, Architect, dated March 27, 1987. Miller adVised that the property is surrounded by properties that have been granted variances; he noted that this property meets the hardship requirement of practical difficulties which necessitate the variance requests. He further advised that the 75 ft. lake setback will not be compromised. The Planner explained that the plans as drawn do not actually necessitate the need for the 5 ft. side yard setback; the R-2 district requires a 15 ft. aggregate side yard and the property meets that requirement. He commented that the architect has drawn a commendable plan for the site; noting that the house is only 18 ft. widet he stated that the side yard variance may be requested to allow the architect some flexibility with the plan. Candice MCCloskey, applicant, advised the architect had discussed the possibility of accommodating a deck on the side of the house or adjusting the . plan; she stated that may be the reason he suggested the side yard setback. ----- . Minutes of Regular Planning Commission Meeting, April 1, 1987 Page 5 . VARIANCES Martin expressed concern with recommending approval of the (Cont'd) side yard variances; stated it would perpetuate the problem in the area and set a precedent for new construction. Petersen disagreed and noted this is common with lakeshore property that was platted prior to the current zoning requirements. Zehm advised that the City cannot deny building on a lot of record. Curtis noted that the existing building would not meet current setback requirements~ Planner commented that Martin's point is well taken; he agreed with Zehm that the City cannot deny building on the lot, unless the lot is substandard. Savage moved, seconded by Petersen, that Commission recommend to Council approval of Case No. 87-09, the Variance request for a 5 foot front yard setback and a 5 foot side yard setback at the south property line. In discussion, Martin questioned recommending approval of the side yard setback if it is not necessary; he did not see hardship rationale. Members asked what the setbacks were on the adjacent properties. Planner stated the home to the North is setback approximately 20 feet and the home to the south is setback approximately 40 feet. . Motion carried. (Savage, Petersen, Thorn, Meury, Zehm and Curtis voting in favor; Martin voted in opposition) (6-1) CASE NO. 87-07; The Public Hearing was opened at 8:55 p.m. Deputy Clerk SUP INST. HSING Iago verified the publication of the Notice of Hearing in 1830 W. CO. RD. New Bri~hton Bulletin, on Wednesday, March 18, and mailing E, H. SCHMIDT on February 26th. Planner reviewed his memorandum of 3/25/87 and background of property use. He advised that the City Attorney has determined the use could be considered under the Institutional Housing definition and, in the R-2 District, a Special Use Permit is required. Miller informed the members that neighbors have commended Mrs. Schmidt for her control of the rental activity, however, they have expressed strong concern that a new owner may not manage the rental use as well. Martin asked if the applicant had requested a SUP when she began renting to students. Planner stated that the property is not currently operating under a SUP and was not specifically built for that purpose. Helen Schmidt, applicant, stated that the house expansion was initially planned for accomodating her large family. When her family status changed, she began renting to students to maintain the mortgage payments on the property and was . unaware that a SUP was required. The house is now for sale and the potential buyer had requested she apply for a SUP. She stated the buyer had expressed the intention to use the home as a single family residence, as soon as it is financially feasible, however, he wanted to have the option of continuing the use for an indefinite period of time. ----~ -------- ------------ - Minutes of Regular Planning Commission Meeting, April 1, 1987 Page 6 There was discussion regarding whether or not State permits are required for . this type of student housing. Planner was not aware of any State permits that may be necessary. He suggested checking with the Building Inspector. Chairman Curtis read a petition opposing the SUP application, with approximately 30 signatures and a letter from 6 adjacent neighbors also expressing opposition to the SUP. He asked if anyone was present to speak in favor of the Special Use Permit. There was no response. Paul Trites, 1850 Indian Place, spoke in opposition and reviewed the neighborhood concerns listed in the letter dated April 1st. Kristine Poelzer, 1810 Indian Place, expressed concern that rental use would negatively impact the residential area; also stated it is not conducive to Arden Hills past practise of closely monitoring the placement of rental properties. Steven Gericke, 1840 County Road E, stated Mrs. Schmidt has been a good neighbor, but he is opposed to the SUP because of increased parking, noise, and traffic. Chuck Mertensotto, 3473 Lake Johanna Blvd., Gary Knowles, 1849 Noble Road and . Clark Adair, 3491 Lake Johanna Blvd., also expressed their opposition. Chairman Curtis asked if there were any further comments from the floor. No response was received. The Public Hearing was closed at 9:40 p.m. Thorn commended the neighbors sensitivity to Mrs. Schmidt's situation. He stated that because Arden Hills has two private colleges located in the City, a precedent for rental facilities of this nature could be set by recommending approval of this Special Use Permit. He also stated his opinion is that institutional/college sleeping rooms, when they exceed the number of renters permitted by ordinance, are a totally inappropriate use in any residential district of Arden Hills. Thorn noted that the property currently exceeds the ordinance requirements for number of renters allowed. Martin suggested the number of vehicles parked may also exceed current zoning ordinance requirements. There was discussion relative to termination of the present use of the property upon sale of the property or prior to that time; also discussed was enforcement and responsibility for enforcement of the zoning ordinance. . - . Minutes of Regular Planning Commission Meeting, April 1, 1987 Page 7 . SUP (Cont'd) Moved by Thorn, seconded by Martin, that Commission recommends to Council denial of the Special Use Permit application for Institutional Housing of College Students. by allowing rental of sleeping rooms, Case No. 87-07, 1830 West County Road E, Helen Schmidt; based on the neighborhood concerns relative to increased activity, traffic and noise which would negatively impact the neighborhood and the incompatibility of the proposed use in a residential area and, furthermore, that the current Zoning Ordinance violation of exceeding the number of renters allowed, be addressed at some future date. Motion carried unanimously. (7-0) Kristine Poelzer stated she did not want to see the current zoning violation continue for a year or six months until the property is sold; she stated the neighbors have been sensitive to the situation long enough. Chairman Curtis advised Poelzer she could make a formal complaint to the appropriate City staff. COUNCIL REPORT Mayor Woodburn reviewed recent Council actions on items of Planning Commission interest. RESIGNATION; Commission members were advised that Time Tuggle had TIM TUGGLE resigned. Members expressed their gratitude to Tim for his years of service on the Commission and Board of Appeals and asked that a letter of appreciation be forwarded to Tim. . COUNCIL APPTMT. Commission members congratulated former Planning Commission J. WINIECKI member Jeanne Winiecki on her appointment to the Arden Hills Council. Members thanked Jeanne for her dedication to the Planning Commission as a former Chair and member since 1972. Jeanne thanked the members and offered them her continued support as a Councilmember.

From: Wehrman Bergly Associates, Inc. UQQrSffies Orlyn W. Miller, Planner Subj ect: Case #87-06 Height variance for fence 1233 Karth Lake Drive n. plaza bldg., ste. 220 Applicants: Robert E. and Patricia K. Larsen 5217 wayzata blvd. Date: March 24, 1987 minneapolis, mn 55416 612 544 7576 Although the subject house is not directly adjacent to Highway 96, the primary view from the rear of the house is directly across the open yard of the adjacent lot toward the highway. The applicants have constructed a six-foot fence at the northwest corner of their lot to screen the view of the highway. However, because their house is constructed at an elevation approximately two feet above the ground elevation at the fence, and the highway is at a higher elevation, the six-foot fence does not block the view of traffic. Therefore, the applicants are proposing to increase the height of the fence to eight feet, requiring a two-foot variance. COMMENTS: l. The existing fence is not directly behind the house to the north. The fence begins at the southwest corner of the house to the north . and extends west from that point. 2. The proposed eight-foot fence will not obstruct views from the adjacent house. Its primary views are from the second level, directed to the south. The adjacent house, a split level, is built at a higher elevation. The grade just north of the fence raises rapidly by 2 to 2 1/2 feet, reducing the height of the fence from the adjacent property to the north. CONCLUSIONS: The fencing provisions of the ordinance are not intended to ensure all homeowners total screening of all negative views. However, the relation- ship of this house to Highway 96 makes such screening reasonable and desirable. Furthermore, an eight-foot fence would have little or no negative impact on the adjacent property, in my opinion. The requested variance can be justified because the slope of the land renders a six- foot fence of limited value for screening views of Highway 96. . planning' landscape architecture . @ ORDNANCE PLANT S.T.

Applicant: Scherer Brothers Lumber Company minneapolis, mn 55416 Date: ~larch 24, 1987 612 544 7576 The applicant is proposing to expand and renovate the existing lumberyard at the intersection of Highway 10 and Interstate 35-W. The property is currently zoned B-2, General Business. Lumberyards are defined as a "manufacturing and processing" use, permitted in the I-I and 1-2 Industrial Districts. Therefore, the applicant is requesting rezoning of the entire 5.8-acre parcel to the 1-2 General Industrial District. The site plan submitted proposes three buildings (two new and one existing- to-remain) which are located on or very near the property lines. These will require setback variances. Furthermore, nearly the entire site is proposed to be paved, requiring a site coverage variance. Lastly, the single pylon sign is proposed adjacent to Highway 10. Its proposed height is 26 feet, 10 feet higher than the ordinance permits, and a height variance will be required. . ACTION REQUESTED: The application for rezoning was received too late to allow adequate time for advertising the public hearing. Therefore, the Planning Commission cannot act on that issue at the April 1 meeting. The applicant has requested, however, that the Planning Commission review and make a recommendation on the site plan and associated variances, contingent upon future rezoning. Since the rezoning is considered primarily a technical matter to bring the existing use into conformance with the ordinance, they would like the City's response to the site plan so they can either proceed with construction drawings or modify the site plan as necessary before the rezoning hearing in May. PROPOSED SITE PLAN: The proposed renovation/expansion plans include the following major elements. 1. Removal of the existing office and the fronts of two other existing buildings closest to Highway 10. 2. Construction of a new two-story office building joining two existing buildings. The new facade will extend across the existing buildings. 3. Two new storage buildings extending along the east and west property . lines of the site expansion area. 4. Reorganization of the site entrance and customer/staff parking areas and improvement of on-site circulation. planning' landscape architecture - The new buildings will be constructed of concrete panels with a raked finish. The existing metal-sided buildings will remain with the possibility . that they may eventually be replaced with concrete panel buildings in the same locations. COMMENTS: l. The reorganization and reconstruction of facilities on the existing site (south portion) represent significant improvement of the development. The use of new linear storage buildings to provide screening at the edge of the site is also considered beneficial. However, since the proposal ignores all setback requirements, scrutiny of the individual setback conditions is warranted. a. West property line: The closest lane of 35W is nearly 100 feet west and 25't below the west edge of the site. Because of the grade differential, views of the development are restricted. Additional setback at the top of the slope would be of limited value. b. North property line: This corner of the site is adjacent to a large triangle of highway right-of-way, providing 100 to 300 feet of separation from the nearest lane of Highway 10. Additional setback would be of limited value. c. East property line: The proposed storage building is approximately 60 feet from the nearest lane of Highway 10. Parki ng extends to within 40 feet of the highway. Since this side is the . front of the development. we believe the parking setback of 20 feet should be enforced. Some additional setback for the new storage building would also be desirable. Provision of setbacks would also decrease the total site coverage. The applicant received permission to use the highway right-of- way for landscaping, and has recently transplanted several mature trees along the property line. Because of this landscaping, the applicant contends that no additional setback is necessary in this area. 2. As mentioned previously, the proposed sign is 10 feet higher than permitted by ordinance. Although there is little competition from other signs in this area. the sign will be approximately 150 feet from the northbound driving lane. This relationship to a major highway may justify the height variance. 3. The zoning ordinance requires screening of all outdoor storage. I support the use of buildings to screen storage areas as proposed. In my opinion, however, two areas require additional screening. Because the mobile homes to the south have a direct view into the yard, a screen fence should be provided along the south property line west of the existing buildings. The north end of the site should also be fenced to screen low-level views from southbound Highway 10. . CASE #87-08 TIQQo PAGE TWO 4. I have some concern about potential glare and visibility of light sources at the south end of the site. Of particular concern is the floodlight mounted on the south end of the west storage building . and directed to the southeast toward the mobile home park. The applicant should eliminate or relocate that floodlight to prevent such problems. CONCLUSIONS: 1. The proposed site development plan represents significant improvements to the appearance and function of the lumberyard. 2. On the basis of our site analysis, the following variances are considered acceptable: a. Fifty-foot setback variance at west property line (50 feet required, 0 feet proposed). b. Fifty-foot setback variance at north property line (50 feet required, 0 feet proposed). The unique relationship to adjacent highways in terms of distance and grade differential is the justification for these variances. 3. A standard 20-foot setback should be maintained for the parking lot adjacent to Highway 10. If the location of existing buildings makes that impossible, a reduced setback of no less than 10 feet would be acceptable. . 4. A setback of 20 to 25 feet should be provided for the new storage building adjacent to Highway 10. 5. Screen fencing should be provided at the north and south ends of the site where buildings do not block views into the site. 6. Floodlights directed toward the adjacent residences should be eliminated or relocated. The City should, as a condition of approval. retain the right to require re-orientation of light fixtures if light sources or glare are directly visible from adjacent roadways or adjacent properties. . 11QQo CASE #87-08 PAGE THREE B:I SCHERE' BROS. WMBER 00. MEOBERY YARD 4797 Highway 10 New Brighton, MN 55112 . 6121633-9680 March 11, 1987 Arden Hills planning-Commission 1450 W. Highway 96 Arden Hills, MN 55112 Ladies & Gentlemen, J Scherer Bros. Lumber Co. at the suggestion of the Village of Arden Hills requests the rezoning of our property at 4947 Highway 10. We currently have a B-2 c~assification and we are told we are in non-conformity, tha t we should be in an 1-2 classification. It is our desire to follow the Village recommendations in this matter. There will be no change in the type of business conducted, . it will remain as it hs been for many years, a retail lumber yard. Scherer Bros. bought this site from Stewart Lumber two years ago with fifteen employees. Currently we have 28 employees with a total of 50 expected within the next three years. At this time it is our intention to expand and upgrade our facilities with particular attention to curb appeal. In order to accomplish these upgrades, as shown on our site plan, we find it necessary to seek set back and lot coverage variances. The letter enclosed from the State Highway Department shows that we have their blessings in this matter. Upon Village approval of our requests, we will have the detailed building plans completed and submitted for the permit process.

PLANNING MEMO wehrman . bergly To: Arden Hills Planning Commission UClClE)ates From: Wehrman Bergly Associates, Inc. Orlyn W. Miller, Planner Subject: Case #87-07 Special Use Permit for institutional housing for college students n. plaza bldg., ste. 220 1830 West County Road E 5217 wayzata blvd. Applicant: f:e 1 en Schmi dt minneapolis, mn 55416 612 544 7576 Date: I~arch 25, 1987 The applicant is requesti~g a Special Use Permit to allow the rental of sleeping rooms to junior and senior college students from Bethel and Northwestern Colleges. The rental rooms are within the private residence occupied by the owner of the property. The City Attorney has determined that the use can be considered as institutional housing because the definition of that use includes "student or faculty housing for four (4) or more persons on a rental basis". Institutional housing in the R-2 District requires a Special Use Permit. COt1MENTS l. The subject lot is approximately 30,000 square feet in area (more than 2 1/2 times the minimum R-2 lot size). There are adjacent . houses on the east, south, and west. Tony Schmidt Park lies to the north. The structure on the site consists of a large, new home attached to an older, smaller house, apparently the original structure on the site. The house has a three-car garage and off- street exterior parking space for approximately eight cars. The parking area is fenced, surfaced, and partially screened with mature plant materials. 2. The applicant began renting extra bedrooms to two or three college students in 1983. In recent years the number of renters has normally been five, occassionally increasing to seven for short periods of time. 3. The applicant is currently in the process of selling her home. The party interested in purchasing the property is also interested in ensuring that the rental use can legally continue. Therefore, his purchase agreement states that the applicant must obtain a SUP. The purchaser has indicated that he and his family will occupy the house immediately, and it is their intention to use it as a single- family residence as soon as it is financially feasible. However, he would like the capability to rent to students for a period of time while they get established on the property. 4. Adjacent neighbors contacted have indicated that student housing on the subject property has not created significant neighborhood . problems. Mrs. Schmidt has been commended for the way she has controlled the rental activity. Neighbors have expressed strong concern, however, that a new owner may not manage the rental use as well, and eventual disruption to the neighborhood might occur. . planning' landscape architecture 5. According to my interpretation, the zoning ordinance allows up to two renters, in addition to the occupant family, in a single-family home, provided a separate dwelling (kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and . livingroom) is not created. For three or more renters, a Special Use Permit is required. I am not aware of any instances in Arden Hills where rentals to three or more persons in a single-family home have been approved. No precident is apparent. CONCLUSIONS: l. The level of rental use of the subject property exceeds that which the City has normally found acceptable in single-family neighborhoods. 2. The past use of the subject property indicates that student housing has occurred without serious neighborhood disruption. Certain characteristics of this site--its size and off-street parking capability--make student housing more acceptable here than on most single-family lots. 3. If the Planning Commission, on the basis of past activities on the property, considers student housing an acceptable use, I recommend that conditions should be established to: a. Limit the number of renters. b. Require periodic review of the operation, or limit the duration of the rental use. . c. Require owner occupancy of the premises. .

Raddatz, Public Works Supervisor Re: Street Sweeping -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Letters have been sent to local contractors asking for quotations on street sweeping for 1987. The quotations will be returned by April 10. and the contract should be awarded at the Council meeting of April 13, 1987. Sweeping will start soon thereafter. I preferred not to begin street sweeping before this time because of the possibility of late snow storms and consequent sanding of streets. If we swept too early, we might have to do it twice . . /~ l~~ . MEMORANDUM -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: March 27, 1987 To: Arden Hills Council From: Robert W. Raddatz Re: Tractors for Parks and Public Works Department -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have been researching replacement of the two tractors that the City owns. I am trying to combine as much as possible into these tractors. The tractors are both in the Parks Department budget for.maintenance purposes; however, the Case is split four ways (Streets, Water, Sewer and Parks) . The Massey Ferguson is entirely in the Parks Department budget. In 1987, $40,000 is scheduled for tractor replacement, in 1988 $17,000. I would like to suggest that both tractors be ordered at the same time, since we can get a better price doing this. The dealers I have talked with say they will accept $40,000 down and the balance in January of 1988. . The tractors would compare in size with what we now have. So far I have looked at John Deere, Case and Ford. All are reputable dealers, and have parts and service available. Specifications are currently being prepared; these will be ready for the April 13 Council meeting. As with everything we order, there is some time lapse between order and delivery, approximately 120 days. The possibility of purchasing used tractors is also being explored. John Buckley concurs with my recommendations. . v , MEMORANDUM . -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: March 27, 1987 To: Arden Hills Council From: Robert W. Raddatz, Public Works Supervisor Re: Lift Station Alarm System -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Continuous problems occur with our present alarm system. To correct some of these problems, the alarm panel needs to be moved to the Public Works Building. This would remove noise and confusion in the Administrative Offices, and would allow us to test the alarms on a routine basis to ensure their proper operation. Since the system was set up, we have had many deletions and additions to the system. In addition, there are two separate alarm boxes, from two separate suppliers; going to one system would hopefully simplify repair and trouble-shooting problems. The telephone lines that serve the alarms go to the Public Works Building; in moving the alarm system, locating these lines and carrying them through . would be the most difficult job. In some instances we have had people at night meetings shut off the alarms when they go off, thus not allowing the signal to go to Electro Watchman. This means the alarm goes unheeded until someone comes in the following morning. Funds are provided in the 1987 budget for moving the alarm system. I will be looking into this further and will bring more information and costs to a future Council meeting. ~ '1~ q, \;~ ~ 'i'9- \,l . ~\ ~, \\\6 . MEMORANDUM -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: March 27. 1987 To: Arden Hills Council From: Robert W. Raddatz, Public Works Supervisor Re: Storm Sewer in Townhouses North -------------------------------------------------------------------------- There is a short section of storm sewer in the Townhouses North that is being forced out of the ground by the frost. The sewer line is only three to four feet deep in this location, and frost is very hard on a pipe that is this shallow. The pipe is about 25 feet long going from one side of the street to the other. The pipe is breaking away from the catch basins on each side of the road. The pipe is composed of concrete sections of five feet each. I am recommending that we dig out the old pipe, then remove an extra two feet of clay and replace with sand, lay the pipe back in, and fill the trench with sand. We would use Class 5 on top of the sand to a depth of . 6" to 8". A 4" asphalt base would then be added to that. If we follow this procedure, we should eliminate frost heaving. I will be back to the Council in April with a cost estimate on this. . . V' MEMORANDUM -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: March 27, 1987 To: Arden Hills Council From: Robert W. Raddatz, Public Works Supervisor Re: Summer Employment -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Last year the Public Works Department employed Steve Zehm for 400+ hours at $7.25 per hour, and two other persons for 500 hours at $4.00 per hour. This year's budget calls for the approximately same number of hours and persons. I am beginning to interview persons for summer positions, and will return to the Council shortly with the names, number of hours, and salaries. . . ~ . MEMORANDUM -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: March 27, 1987 To: Arden Hills Council From: Robert W. Raddatz, Public Works Supervisor Re: House Numbering -------------------------------------------------------------------------- At the last Public Safety/Works Committee meeting, Mr. Herbst and Dan Winkel brought up the urgent need for home identification for safety reasons. They stated that they should be of a contrasting color, and large enough to be seen from the street. The Committee discussed having flyers, or door hangers, made with a message on them urging that homeowners put numbers on their homes. They felt that if we had these, all the Public Works employees and the CSO could take some, and if they see a house without numbers during their travels, hang one of these on the door. Sample flyers are being prepared. . I feel this is a very important issue. and should be dealt with in this manner. . . MEMORANDUM ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: April 13, 1987 To: Arden Hills Council From: Robert W. Raddatz, Public Works Supervsiro Re: Tractors for Parks and Public Works Departments ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The last couple of weeks have been used to gather more information on tractors. Last month we talked about the tractors and the amount budgeted. I am proposing we bid the two tractors separately and also together. to determine what type of price break we would receive if we purchased both at the same time. When the bids are received we can make the decision to purchase both at the same time or separately. . The Case Tractor is the one to be replaced this year. We had the head off again and continually have trouble with this tractor. If a decision is made to purchase only one tractor, the Case Tractor should be purchased first. .~~ . .

Bowl ng \~anager Ms. Patricia Morrison Clerk Administrator Village of Arden Hills 1450 W. Highway 96 Arden Hills, MN 55112 Re: Flahertys Arden Bowl Dear Ms. Morrison: Per our prior telephone conversation~ please bring to the attention of the Council that it is the intention of Flahertys Arden Bowl to offer teenage dancing for the months of May and June and perhaps longer into the summer . depending upon the economics of the situation. The dancing would be on Friday and Saturday nights for the remainder of this school season and then after school is out, perhaps on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. The event is designed to attract persons from age 16 to age 21 and would be in the area of our lounge where we have had dancing in the past. The dances would be non-alcoholic and special policing would be accomplished to keep the dancers out- of our upper level lounge (we call it the "Bowlers' Lounge") were alcoholic beverages are dispensed. The Bowlers Lounge for the most part is a closed-in facility. The dances would be organized and monitored by Eric St. John's Entertainment Concepts (Randy N. Swanson) who I am advised has spent a lot of time working /i.'f> with teenagers at high school and college functions. It sounds to me like it is ~) Ii sort of a disco/disc jockey concept. I believe Mr. Swanson and his organization \ \" are known and enjoy a good reputation with Mounds View, Irondale, Roseville, Fridley and other youth organizations. Enclosed you will find a brochure concerning the promoter. Please Ie t me know as soon as possible if the Council sees any problems with this type of activity at our place. The ganizer is anxious to proceed with promoting the event. . PFF/sd 3 Generations of Excellence in the Bowling Business . C~~(n . METRO EAST COALITION ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE April 2, 1987 l. The Metro East Coalition (the "Coalition"), an organization of interests in Dakota, Ramsey, and Washington Counties, would be a nonprofit Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(6) membership corporation. 2. The membership of the Coalition would be drawn from the three counties it represents, although it is contemplated that - outside of Ramsey County - only the communities located in northern Dakota and western Washington counties would be interested in becoming members. 3. Membership in the Coali tion would be open to: (a) any incorporated local or county unit of government; (b) any organized chamber of commerce; and (c) any organized industry trade group. Each member unit of government, chamber of commerce or trade group would be represented by its chief executive officer or a designee of such officer. Membership would be available upon the payment of a basic annual membership fee of $500. Each member would be . enti tled to receive information about the activities of the Coalition, to attend Coalition membership meetings, and to become a participating member of the Coalition. The membership of the Coalition would meet at least annually. 4. Each member of the Coalition would become a participating member upon the payment of a minimum annual participation fee of $2,500. It is expected that the actual contribution to the Coali tion by a participating member will be commensurate with the size or scale of operations of such member. Each participating member would serve on the Coalition's board of directors which would set the overall policies and direction of the Coalition. . The board of directors of the Coalition would meet at least semi- annually. Decisions of the board would be made by majority vote of the directors present at a board meeting. 5. The operations of the Coalition would be conducted by a management committee. The committee would consist of 17 people to be selected by the committee from the units of government that become participating members of the Coalition and from the businesses belonging to the chambers of commerce and trade groups that become participating members. The committee members would be generally representative of the geographic constituencies of the . Coalition (i.e. , Dakota County, suburban Ramsey County, the . City of Saint Paul, and Washington County) and would be . . selected for their knowledge and experience in the areas of advertising, business, design, development, finance, law, management, promotion, public relations, and real estate. Management conuni ttee terms would be for two years. Decisions of the management conunittee would be made by a majority vote of the committee members present at a management committee meeting. Vacancies on the management conunittee would be filled by the committee with the advice of the board of directors. The management committee would meet at least quarterly. 6. The first management committee to serve until the end of 1988 would consist of the following persons: Name City Cliff Aichinger North St. Paul Jerome T. Crary Mendota Heights Daniel F. Dolan North Oaks Clyde FiSh White Bear Lake ... Daniel Guider Woodbury C.R. Hackworth Stillwater Hans Hagen Roseville Louis Howard Cottage Grove John Kostka lnver Grove Heights Eugene A. Kraut Saint Paul Kenneth Kube West St. Paul Joan Mathison Hastings James Miller Saint Paul James A. Stolpestad Saint Paul James Van Epps Apple Valley Richard Wedell Shoreview Lawrence Wenzel Eagan . 2 . 7. The Coalition's management committee would appoint two co- chairmen, one who would represent a unit of government or chamber of commerce outside the City of Saint Paul, and the other who would represent the Saint Paul Area Chamber of Commerce. The management committee could also appoint such additional officers as it sees fit from time to time. The first co-chairmen of the Coalition would be Daniel Guider of Woodbury and James A. Stolpestad of Saint Paul. Their initial terms would expire at the end of 1987. 8. The Coali tion would be provided primary staff assistance from the Saint Paul Area Chamber of Commerce and secondary staff assistance from its participating members. 9. The principal place of business of the Coalition would be the office of the Saint Paul Area Chamber of Commerce. . . . 3 METRO EAST COALITION MARKETING PLAN . April 2, 1987 I.

EXECUTIVE SUrmARY ] The tie t r 0 East Area: Inventory-Profile, contains an analysis of socio-economic statistics and interview responses of individualS in the private and public sectors who influence I economic development in the eastern half of the Twin eit ies metropolitan area--the Metro East Area. (See 14ap 1). The Inventory-profile has been prepared as a basis for developing I Btrategic options to capture a greater share of new development and create a greater sense of a commllnity of intereBt between st. Paul and the other cities in the Metro East Area. I Our conclusions from this analysis are: 1 1. The 11et ro East Area clearly accounts for only a t h i rd of the regional development to date, but there is no one sector of the t economy here which is significantly weak or over-developed. Using one-third share as the base, the perception of the {-lEA J having a "weak economic base" is stronger than the real ity. 2. projected slow down in the pace of met ropoli tan growth will limit , in absolute terms, the amount of new development. There , is likely be II ze [a-sum" in which communities will ~ more to a game try to maintain a level of growth. Developers are pull ing back - on growth plans and projects, and as a result, the "zero-sum" game could be more intense. The two-thirds, one-third split between the role t ropol it an Region and the ~let ro East Area will continue for some time. Growth patterns will result not from I increasing demand, but rather from stealing demand from other markets. I 3. Legitimate barriers to capturing a larger share of the market are the result of lack of confidence and a lack of knowledge of the eastern sub-markets. Fewer medium sized businesses (those most likely to grow) , and fewer "highest income" households 1 proportionate to the total number, contribute to this lack of , detailed knowledge. It is, therefore, incumbent upon the HEA cOf,lmunities to provide additional market information to decision 1 makers in both the private and public sectors. 4. Regional policy makers are most likely to respond to political 1 pressure and will accommodate development already here, rat he r than actively promote a more balanced pattern of growth. This increases the need for MEA communities to increase their pol it ical influence when it comes to insuring policies to take ] advantage of existing regional investments. Currently there is no organ i zed system for promoting that political position which encourages development in the NEA. , 5 . Late cor.lpletion of the freeway systems on the east side has fI worked to the detriment of these communities in general. Access is now provided, but the region has no uncommitted resources to expand sewe r or transit systems to these "new highway corridors". The opportunity to "shape development" is precarious at best. 1 l 2 I . 6. The ~IE^ is not an homogenous market area, but a collection of I sub-markets with very different levels of economic ties to st. Paul. Efforts to promote development and provide market information should focus on these sub-markets while using the HEA I as an umbrella in support of the more spec if ic objectives of the individual communities. 7. within the MEA, there are a number of "lead cities" that have ( developed expertise and a reputation as leaders in growth and development. They should provide the leadership for other ( communities who seek guidance and should be encouraged in the i r efforts at local and regional development. 8. Diversity of community interests exists in the MEA. This l perception of conflicting interests is damaging. It should be realized that this very diversity can be built upon by stressing the uniqueness of each of the communities, rathe r than making I everyone conform to a "development ethic". 9. All i ances between the central city and suburban communities I are currently weak, with li mi ted understanding of common goals and interests and the opportunities to build on strengths. The perception to be developed should be one of cooperation rat he r than competitiveness. Linkages can be developed around I . complementary needs for industrial parl;s and housing for a I variety of markets. 10. Finally, it is incumbent upon each of the communities of the . HEA to establish a community development committee which would develop guidelines to determine the types of development desired and outline the procedures and plans to implement their . particular plan of growth. . - . . --- ~- -. ~ -- -- .
