Date: May 21, 1987
To: Arden Hills Council
From: Patricia J. Morrison, Clerk Administrator
Re: Informational Items
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
1- Valentine Hills Elementary School:' The School District has advised
the groundbreaking for the addition to Valentine Hills School will be
at 2:00 p.m. on May 27. You are invited to be present.
2. Mounds View ParkinR: We have not received any further complaints of
parking problems in the Mounds View High School area; therefore, we
have not posted Dellview. Please advise either Bob, or I, if you wish
to start the practice of removing the signs in this area during the
summer months. New Brighton is going through the same problem with
Irondale High School.
3. No ParkinR, County Road E: In talking with Dan Soler, Ramsey County
Traffic Engineer, the no parking signs on the south side of County
. Road E, from Lake Johanna Blvd. to New Brighton Road, should be posted
within two to three weeks.
4. Pavement ManaRement Plan: Bob and I met with Barry Peters, Richard
Moore and two other SEH representatives on May 19 to commence the
pavement management plan process, after which a representative from
SEH and Bob started the initial method for analyzing the streets.
Although SEH had advised the cost for the study was $12,000, it
appears that only $10,000 has been budgeted. Barry has suggested a
workshop session (rather than a presentation at a regular Council
meeting) to receive Council input after the reports are done.
5. North Snellin~ Park: We have received notice of reapportionment of
assessments I i.e. splitting the assessments between North Heights
Lutheran Church and the Village. (This will be presented to the
Council formally at an upcoming meeting.) The total amount attributed
to North Snelling Park (for Imps. SWR 12 and 13, W-77-5 and W-78-2) is
$17,682.08. I have spoken with Jim Lynden about abatement of the
assessments, and he is researching the most appropriate method to
proceed.
Ramsey County has advised both parcels are listed as tax-exempt on
their records. As you may recall from Mr. Lynden's previous
correspondence, there currently are outstanding mortgages on the full
parcel (including our park) and Mr. Lynden is working with the North
. Heights' attorney to get the park land segregated from the mortgage
obligation.
-
6. Janitorial Services: Dave Winkel's (Park Department) wife will be
. assuming these duties effective the week of June 1. The duties have
been outlined, for four flexible hours per week at $6.50 per hour.
7. Contractors 1 Licenses: (Please refer to page 6 of 5/11 Council
minutes). Was it the intention of the Council to include, or delete,
plumbers from the list of newly licensed services? The minutes read
the same as the tape, so, dependent upon the Council's decision, the
minutes can be amended.

place of business.
Council will consider this case at their meeting of May 26th, at which
time they would like a representative from Alpo present to discuss
various concerns which arose at the May 11th meeting ( a copy of the
minutes are enclosed) .
If you should have any questions, please contact me; we shall look

BUSINESS FROM FLOOR None.
CASE NO. 87-08; Council was referred to Planner's memorandum of 4/10/87
REZONING B-2 to I-2 relative to the request for Rezoning of the property
SCHERER LUMBER located at 4947 Highway 10, Scherer Bros. Lumber.
Miller advised Council that under current zoning, the existing lumberyard is a
non-conforming use. He stated the applicant's reasons for requesting the
rezoning were to allow the continued operation. upgrading and expansion of the
lumberyard, and to bring the current use into conformance.
. Council was advised that the Planning Commission had held a public hearing and
no one spoke in opposition to the proposed rezoning. Miller referred Council to
the Planning Commission minutes of 5/6/87, recommending approval of the
rezoning, based on the following: I. Rezoning will accommodate upgrading of the
existing use, which is desirable; 2. The site is relatively isolated,
surrounded on three sides by major arterials and 3. The land across Highways 10
and 35W is zoned and developed industrially.
Larry Leitshuh of Scherer Lumber was present to answer any Council inquiries.
Moved by Hansen, seconded by Peck, that Council approve
Case No. 87-08, Rezoning from B-2 to I-2, 4947 Highway 10, Scherer Brothers
Lumber Company. Motion carried unanimously. (5-0)
CASE NO. 87-14; Council was referred to Planner's memorandum, 4-29-87,
REZONING I-2 to B-2 relative to the requested rezoning of a 2.5-acre parcel
. C. G. REIN COMPANY north 'of St. Paul Metalcraft on Lexington Avenue.
The Planner stated that the applicant is planning to construct a facility that
will be smaller in scale but similar to Shannon Square on Lexington Avenue.
The Comprehensive Plan designates this area as industrial and the site is
currently zoned I-2, a district which does not permit retail uses.
Council was advised the Planning Commission held a hearing, at which time there
was no public response. Miller referred Council to the Planning Commission
minutes (5/6/87), recommending approval. Commission members discussed the
following items in support of the proposed rezoning: I. Nature of new
development along Lexington Avenue, both in Arden Hills and Shoreview, is
retail oriented, 2. The B-2 uses which already exist at Red Fox Road and
Lexington, and 3. The less desirable uses which are permitted under I-2.
,
Minutes of the Regular Council Meeting, May II; 1987
Page 2 .
C.G. REIN (CONT'D) Miller also noted the following items opposing the
proposed rezoning: 1. Increased traffic along Lexington
Ave. . 2. Commercial strip appearance, and 3. Some undesirable uses permitted in
the B-2 district. Miller advised that some of the less desirable uses in the
B-2 district were permitted by special use permit, allowing some control to be
maintained by the Village, and reminded Council that site plan review would be
required.
The Planner stated the Planning Commission had recommended approval of the
rezoning, based on the fact that the proposed rezoning would not be
incompatible with other development along Lexington Avenue.
William Sikora, architect for C. G. Rein, was present and reviewed the
comprehensive plan statement submitted with the application..He advised the
area can support development of this nature and there would be a combination of
service/small retail use in the proposed facility.
Councilmember Hansen asked Sikora for information which supported the need for
this type of facility.
Dennis Cavanaugh, President of C. G. Rein, stated the Arden Plaza Shopping
Center is owned and managed by C. G. Rein and has had a 2% vacancy rate over
the last 14 years. He further stated that the Shannon Square facility, on
Lexington Avenue, is 70% occupied, and it is his opinion there is a demand for .
this type of facility.
Sikora stated that there are no gasoline pumps proposed for this facility; the
stores would be more service oriented.
Council also discussed the difference between this rezoning request and the
proposed rez.)ning for Hamline Avenue and Highway 96; noted this site is not
directly adjacent to residential zoning and the location on Lexington Ave is
not incompatible with the surrounding industrial zoning.
Miller commented that Planning Commission members had discussed the increased
traffic along Lexington Avenue and he noted that this type of facility will
generate more traffic, however, traffic would be distributed. throughout the day
having less impact than concentration at peak hours.
Council discussed the definitions of fast-food restaurants versus drive-in
business, the separation requirement and also, the possible need for further
definition of these uses in the zoning ordinance.
Sather moved, seconded by Peck, that Council approve
Case No. 87-14, Rezoning from I-2 to B-2, the Lexington Avenue Colestock site,
North of Grey Fox Road, C. G. Rein Company. Motion carried unanimously. (5-0)
CASE NO. 87-11; Council was referred to Planner's report 4-10-87.
MINOR SUBD./VAR. Planning Commission minutes of 5-6-87, and Board of
TRAMM , OAK A VENUE Appeals minutes 4-23-87. .
The Planner explained the subject property is an odd-shaped parcel
approximately l.l acres in area. He noted that although the parcel exceeds area
l'equirements, the front lot line width is only 75 ft. and a width variance of
20 feet is being requested in conjunction with the minor subdivision.
Miller explained the primary issue with this proposal is the impact of
development of the lot on adja~ent property. The house to the south has an
adequate setback and is partially screened by mature shrubs along the shared
property line. He identified the building envelope and the steepness of the
slope on the front portion on the lot. He indicated the lot will require
special treatment to achieve an acceptable driveway grade, and the applicant is
working on a house plan which includes a tuck-under garage to reduce the
driveway slope.
Miller reviewed the Planning commission recommendation for approval, subject to .
the establishment of a minimum setback to be determined by the adjacent homes.
l Hansen moved, seconded by Winiecki, that Council
approve Case No. 87-II, Minor Subdivision and Lot Width Variance. Lot I, Block
4 of Shady Oaks ddition, based on the large lot area compensating for the
narrow frontage, the flexible building envelope that exists on the proposed
lot, and there would be no negative impact on the adjacent properties;
furthermore, approval is subject to the front setback line of the proposed home
not exceeding the front setback line of the two adjacent homes (the line drawn
between the two adjacent homes at their closest point to their front). Motion
carried unanimously. (5-0)

, Minutes of the Regular Council Meeting, May 11, 1987
. Page 3
CASE NO. 87-12; Council was referred to Planner's report (4-10-87),
FRONT SETBACK Planning Commission minutes (5-6-87) and Board of
V AR. , ANDERSON Appeals minutes (4-23-87).
Miller reviewed the background of the Minor Subdivision of this parcel,
approved by Council in December 1986. The parcel does not have public street
frontage and is accessed by private easement.
The Planner identified the steep slope at the rear of the Anderson lot and
noted that if the applicant maintains the 40 ft. front setback, the rear of the
proposed house will be at the base of the slope. The applicant has applied for
a 20 ft. variance, to avoid drainage problema and to create a more usable rear
yard.
Council was referred to a letter from Engineer Barry Peters (4-22-87), stating
he has reviewed the request and is comfortable with the variance as proposed.
Peters asked the Planner to relate to the Council that the letter should not be
considered as a recommendation for or against approval of the requested
variance.
Miller explained that the property is very isolated from Lake Johanna Blvd. and
the two adjacent homes south of the parcel are setback approximately 10-15 ft.
from the access easement, which already establishes a lesser setback.
. Futhermore, Miller advised that at the time Council approved the subdivision of
these two parcels, he had commented that the lots would be buildable without
variances, however, the applicant has chosen to request the variance to create
a more usable rear yard and to cauae less disruption to the rear slope of the
property.
Council discussed if the property owners to the south of the parcel would be
affected by drainage problems.
Clerk Aministrator advised that any improvements of the access easement must be
approved by the Engineer.
Planner commented that approval of the requested variance would not relieve the
property owner of his responsibility not to create further drainage problems,
as stipulated in the conditions of approval of the minor subdivision.
There was discussion relative to construction of the home on the parcel without
the requested variance.
Mark Anderson, applicant, advised that an architect designed the home so that
it would not create further drainage problems for the adjacent properties to
the south. Anderson advised he is working with the Barry Peters on the
improvement of the access easement and has discussed the creation of a culvert
to divert water from the southerly lots. He noted that all the conditions
stipulated in the minor subdivision approval have been accomplished, with the
. exception of the access easement improvement.
Moved by Hansen, seconded by Sather, that Council
approve Case No. 87-12; Front Setback Variance, on the basis of the hardship
imposed by the steep rear slope of the land, the parcel is located on a private
roadway that is isolated from the main street, and that other homes south of
this site are not in compliance with current setback requirements. Motion
carried. (Hansen, Sather, Peck, Winiecki voting in favor; Woodburn opposed)
(4-1)
CASE NO. 87-15; Planner Miller reviewed his report of 4-29-87, and
SITE PLAN REVIEW referred Council to Planning Commission minutes of
& V AR, ALPO FOODS 5-6-87.
The Planner stated the lot is currently zoned I-I and adjacent to a residential
development, therefore, a 75 rt. setback is required. Since the Planning
. Commission meeting he had discovered a zoning map, which was in effect prior to
the State releasing the land proposed for Highway 5l, that shows the boundary
line for the zoning district along the rear property line for Alpo Pet Foods.
After discussion with the Zoning Administrator, it was determined that Alpo had
not acquired any of the land released by the State and, therefore a variance
was necessary.
Miller pointed out that since the variance was identified after the Board of
Appeals held their meeting, Council may consider referring the variance to the
Board of Appeals for review and recommendation back to Council.

Poilg" 4 ,
ALPO (CONT'D) The Planner explained the proposed construction of the .
addition to the Alpo building, which will house a tank
for storage of liquid tallow. The applicant had advised Miller that the tank
will be sealed and should not emit any additional odor.
Council discussed neighborhood complaints relative to odor emission; the Zoning
Administrator Iago had received one complaint prior to the Planning meeting and
Mrs. Zehm, the former Zoning Administrator had indicated she received several
complaints over the years she was employed.
There was also discussion of screening at the northwest border of the property
and the Parks Director explained that Alpo personnel had planted 30-50 trees
along that property line on Arbor Day. Buckley noted that the evergreens were
planted in double rows and should mature within a few years.
Council had questions relative to the processing and storage of the liquid
tallow and determined they needed more information from a company
representative.
Hansen moved, seconded by Peck, that Council table Case
No. 87-15, to the next regular Council meeting on May 26, 1987, and refer the
variance request to the Board of Appeals for their review and recommendation;
furthermore, Council requested a representative of Alpo Pet Foods be contacted
by staff and requested to appear before the Council at their May 26th meeting
to discuss the methods of tallow processing and storage, odor emission from the
plant and screening at the rear property line. Motion carried. (5-0) .
CASE NO. 87-10; Planner Miller reviewed his report and referred Council
SETBACK VAR. , to Planning Commission minutes of 5-6-87 and Board of
1305 TILLER LN. Appeals minutes of 4-23-87. Planning Commission and
Board of Appeals recommended denial of the request,
based on the inability of both boards to identify a hardship and approval of
the request may establish a new setback line by precident.
Miller explained the interior floor plan of the home, problems with roof lines
in the rear of the home, and eagerness to eliminate the steep driveway prompted
the applicant to consider the expansion from the front of the home rather than
the rear.
Council was referred to the Planning Commission minutes of May 6, which listed
the reasons for the applicant's request.
After discussion, Council suggested the applicant be encouraged to remove the
two condemned fireplaces in the home and lower the drivewsy elev4tion, for
their safety, even if approval is not granted.
Moved by Hansen, seconded by Peck, that Council deny

CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS UPDATE (CONT'D)
ROYAL HILLS - The wear course is ready to be placed on the road at
this time. The storm drains have to be cleaned out and the manholes aligned;
the work should be completed in a month.
GLENVIEW AVENUE - The storm sewer project on Glenview started this
date. A curb service for water Was damaged and had to be repaired before they
could continue the project.
" NORTHWOODS DRIVE; OPUS BUILDING - The only items remaining are the
placement of the wear course of blacktop and some work on the pond. John Lee of
SEH and Raddatz inspected the project and compiled a list of clean-up itema;
upon notice of completion of the list, a reinspection will be done.
HAMLINE AVENUE - The landscaping, trees and schrubs, are in place.
Sodding and the wear course of blacktop need to be completed. The contractor
advised that they must wait 7 days before they can stripe the road; due to the
oil in the blacktop. Raddatz discussed possible traffic problems with Deputy
Herbst and they will try to minimize traffic problems during the 7 day period.
KEITHSON DRIVE - All the utilities are in place, as well as gravel and
curb and gutter. The blacktop will be completed sometime in August. Raddatz has
. had discussions with a representative from the State Hwy. Dept., regarding the
right hand turn lane onto Hwy. 96. Council discussed the issuance of an
occupancy permit before a hardtop surface is placed on Keithson. Raddatz stated
there is 2 ft. of sand under the road and with the gravel there may not be
problems (potholes, etc.) Sather questioned that the road would be under
Village jurisdiction as it is being constructed by the developer. Council
requested the Clerk Administrator review past policy on the issuance of
occupancy permits prior to hardtop surfaces in residential areas.
WATER TOWER - There are six sections of the water tower now in place.
The bowl section will be welded after two inspections have been made. The
inspections are done by two different persons, with an x-ray machine. The
condensation ceiling is also being installed. The tower will be 141 ft. to the
I,OOO,OOO gallon mark; ISO ft. to the top. When the tower is completed, the
Village will landscape and plant tress around the base; evergreens, hardwoods
and sod. The project, thus far, is on schedule. Councilmember Winiecki asked if
the landscaping removed from the Lift Station UIO could be replanted at the
water tower. Raddatz advised personnel has moved some plantings and will
continue as both projects progress.
MUD JACKING. CURBS - The mud jacking is completed. The work will be
checked in the fall to determine if it has stayed in place.
REPLACEMENT OF ALARM BOARD - The transistors on the circuit board that
control the pumps and alarms for the lift stations were damaged by a power
surge. A proper signal from the tower was not received and caused the tower to
. flood, the pumps would not shut down. Raddatz replaced the board with a spare
and repaired the damaged board.
PAVEMENT MGMT. PLAN Council was referred to Raddatz's memorandum, 5-7-87,
requesting authorization for SEH and Raddatz to begin
the Pavement Management study. He advised that $IO,OOO.OO had been budgeted in
the Street portion of the budget, under Engineering Fees, for this project.
Council requested that SEH compile a cost breakdown of project project costs
for use in compiling the 1988 budget.
Sather moved, seconded by Peck, that Council authorize
the Public Works Supervisor and Short Elliot"Hendrickson to begin the Pavement
Management Study. Motion carried unanimously. (5-0)
LIC & PERMIT FEES Council was referred to Finance Committee minutes of
. April 23rd, relative to the subcommittee
recommendations for increasing license and permit fees. The Committee had
recommended that the fees be reviewed every two years. A survey of five
surrounding communities was completed, in an effort to maintain equity, and
also the Committee determined the fees should more closely reflect the costs of
regulation and administration of the licenses and permits.
Councilmember Winiecki suggested the permit fee for the rendering plant be
increased from $600 to $630, to cover the cost of inspection of the plant.
Mayor Woodburn noted that the General Contractors, Excavators, Plumbing and
Contractors license fees would require an Ordinance amendment, suggested the
Attorney be requested to draft the amendment.

FEES (CONT'D) Councilmember Sather questioned the fees for restaurant
and cafe licenses, as there are not health inspections
provided. The Clerk Administrator advised that the fee covers the
administrative costs for issuing the license; when a health complaint is
received by the Village, the appropriate State agency is called for an
inspection and may request Dr. Dunn, our health inspector, also inspect the
premises.
Councilmember Peck commented that the proposed increases in the contractors and
rubbish haulers licenses will more than likely be passed onto the residents of
the Village. He questioned why the dog licenses were not issued on a life-time
basis.
Mayor Woodburn explained that a rabies vaccination is required every two years
and proof of vaccination must be shown when renewing the dog license.
Moved by Hansen, seconded by Woodburn, that Council
approve the proposed permit and license fee increases, excluding the
Excavators, Plumbers and Contractors, as outlined in the Finance Committee
minutes Qf 4-23-87.
Winiecki moved, seconded by Peck, that the motion be
amended to include the Rendering Plant permit fee increase from $600.00 to
$630.00, to cover inspection costs. .
Amendment to motion carried. (5-0)
Original motion as amended carried. (5-0)
Council requested the Clerk Administrator contact the Attorney to determine if
the Rendering Plant fee increase requires an Ordinance amendment.
CONTRACTORS LICENSE Clerk Administrator Morrison inquired if Council
concurred with her suggestion to request the Attorney
to draft an Ordinance revision to include licensing of General Contractors,
Excavators and Plumbers; she offered to work with Lynden to draft the revision
for the next regular Council meeting.
Council commented that Plumbers and Electricians are licensed by the State and
would be excluded.
Moved by Hansen, seconded by Peck, that Council directs
the Clerk Administrator and Attorney to review current fees and draft an
Ordinance revision relative to General Contractors, Excavators, Plumbers,
Heating Contractors, and Rubbish Haulers licenses. Motion carried. (5-0)
UTILITY RATE Council was referred to Finance Committee minutes
INCREASE 4-23-87, relative to increasing utility rates. The last
increase for sewer utility was in 1981 and the
Committee recommends a 15% increase, effective July lst; this increase is .
expected to cover costs through 1989.
Council discussed the charges for sewer utility to non-profit organizations.
Morrison advised the Attorney informed her the Village cannot charge a higher
fee to non-profit organizations nor a lower fee.
Council questioned the formula for commercial accounts and the reference to
sewer utility rate increases providing a "minimal amount of cushion".
After discussion, Council concurred that they would like to clarify the
rcommendations of the Finance Committee and requested a representative of the
Committee be present at the next regular Council meeting of May 26th.
OTHER BUSINESS
PARKING AT MOUNDS Councilmember Peck discussed the parking situation at .
VIEW HIGH SCHOOL in the area of Mounds View High School. He suggested
the Clerk Administrator be given authorization to post
the no-parking signs when deemed necessary, rather than review each posting
with the Council.
Council discussed the placement of signs at access roads only; removal of signs
during the summer months.
Morrison advised that Commander Bergeron stated there may be difficulty
~~0oecuting offenders if the signs are removed and replaced. Mayor Woodburn
'~..l' in!! Attorney saw no prob lem with prosecuting offenders.

PROPOSED SERVICE Council discussed the informational memorandum from
FEES INCREASE Clerk Administrator regarding an increase in fees for
services provided by the Village; i.e., copies of
Council and Planning minutes, assessment searches, Code Books, etc.
Council suggested the clarification be included, such as "annual fee" or
"postage included", on the final draft. Council questioned if copies would
still be provided free of charge to County Board Chairman, Ramsey County
Sheriffs Department, etc., and if the increase reflects what surrounding
communities charge. Morrison stated the copies would still be provided free of
charge to persons connected with the operation of the Village; she noted the
fees reflect what metro area communities are charging for these services.
Hansen moved, seconded by Winiecki, that Council accept
the miscellaneous fee increase, effective July 1, 1987, as proposed by the
Clerk Administrator in her informational memorandum (5-8-87). Motion carried
unanimously. (5-0)

Clerk Administrator commented that she has discussed the matter with the
. Building Inspector who advised the owner of the property has the necessary
equipment to correct the problem; Squires has contacted the owner and stated he
would check the area to determine if the grading has been corrected.
Morrison suggested sending a certified letter to the owner defining what needs
to be done and setting a date for completion of the project.
Council discussed what the basis for enforcement would be and recommended
Morrison review the matter with the Attorney, Building Inspector and Public
Works Supervisor to determine responsibility for correction of the problem.

REZONING B-2 to I-2 relative to the request for Rezoning of the property
SCHERER LUMBER located at 4947 Highway la, Scherer Bros.' Lumber.
Miller advised Council that under current zoning, the existing lumberyard is a
non-conforming use. He stated the applicant's reasons for requesting the
rezoning were to allow the continued operation, upgrading and expansion of the
lumberyard, and to bring the current use into conformance.
Council was advised that the Planning Commission had held a public hearing and
no one spoke in opposition to the proposed rezoning. Miller referred Council to
. the Planning Commission minutes of 5/6/87. recommending approval of the
rezoning. based on the following: 1. Rezoning will accommodate upgrading of the
existing use, which is desirable; 2. The site is relatively isolated,
surrounded on three sides by major arterials and 3. The land across Highways 10
and 35W is zoned and developed industrially.
Larry Leitshuh of Scherer Lumber was present to answer any Council inquiries.

CASE NO. 87-14; Council was referred to Planner's memorandum, 4-29-87,
REZONING I-2 to B-2 relative to the requested rezoning of a 2.5-acre parcel
C. G. REIN COMPANY north 'of St. Paul Metalcraft on Lexington Avenue.
. The Planner stated that the applicant is planning to construct a facility that
will be smaller in scale but similar to Shannon Square on Lexington Avenue.
The Comprehensive Plan designates this area as industrial and the site is
currently zoned I-2, a district which does not permit retail uses.

minutes (5/6/87), recommending approval. Commission members discussed the
following items in support of the proposed rezoning: I. Nature of new
development along Lexington Avenue, both in Arden Hills and Shoreview, is
retail oriented, 2. The B-2 uses which aiready exist at Red Fox Road and
Lexington, and 3. The less desirable uses which are permitted under I-2.

C.G. REIN (CONT'D) Miller also noted the following items opposing the
proposed rezoning: 1. Increased traffic along Lexington -
Ave. t 2. Commercial strip appearance, and 3. Some undesirable uses permitted in
the B-2 district. Miller advised that some of the less desirable uses in the
B-2 district were permitted by special use permit, allowing some control to be
maintained by the Village, and reminded Council that site plan review would be
required.
The Planner stated the Planning Commission had recommended approval of the
rezoning, based on the fact that the proposed rezoning would not be
incompatible with other development along Lexington Avenue.
William Sikora, architect for C. G. Rein, was present and reviewed the
comprehensive plan statement submitted with the application. .He advised the
area can support development of this nature and there would be a combination of
servicelsmall retail use in the proposed facility.
Councilmember Hansen asked Sikora for information which supported the need for
this type of facility.
Dennis Cavanaugh, President of C. G. Rein, stated the Arden Plaza Shopping
Center is owned and managed by C. G. Rein and has had a 2X vacancy rate over
the last 14 years. He further stated that the Shannon Square facility, on
Lexington Avenue, is 70X occupied, and it is his opinion there is a demand for
this type of facility.
Sikora stated that there are no gasoline pumps proposed for this facility; the .
stores would be more service oriented.
Council also discussed the difference between this rezoning request and the
proposed rezoning for Hamline Avenue and Highway 96; noted this site is not
directly adjacent to residential zoning and the location on Lexington Ave,is
not incompatible with the surrounding industrial zoning.
Miller commented that Planning Commission members had discussed the increased
traffic along Lexington Avenue and he noted that this type of facility will
generate more traffic, however, traffic would be distributed throughout the day
having less impact than concentration at peak hours.
Council discussed the definitions of fast-food restaurants versus drive-in
business, the separation requirement and also, the possible need for further
definition of these uses in the zoning ordinance.
Sather moved, seconded by Peck, that Council approve
Case No. 87-14, Rezoning from 1-2 to B-2, the Lexington Avenue Colestock site,
North of Grey Fox Road, C. G. Rein Company. Motion carried unanimously. (5-0)
CASE NO. 87-11; Council was referred to Planner's report 4-10-87,
MINOR SUBD./VAR. Planning Commission minutes of 5-6-87, and Board of
TRAMM , OAK AVENUE Appeals minutes 4-23-87.
The Planner explained the subject property is an odd-shaped parcel .
approximately l.l acres in area. He noted that although the parcel exceeds area
requirements, the front lot line width is only 75 ft. and a width variance of
20 feet is being requested in conjunction with the minor subdivision.
Miller explained the primary issue with this proposal is the impact of
development of the lot on adjacent property. The house to the south has an
adequate setback and is partially screened by mature shrubs along the shared
property line. He identified the b~ilding envelope and the steepness of the
slope on the front portion on the lot. He indicated the lot will require
special treatment to achieve an acceptable driveway grade, and the applicant is
working on a house plan which includes a tuck-under garage to reduce the
driveway slope.
Miller reviewed the Planning commission recommendation for approval, subject to .
the establishment of a minimum setback to be determined by the adjacent homes.
Hansen moved, seconded by Winiecki, that Council
approve Case No. 87-II, Minor Subdivision and Lot Width Variance, Lot I, Block
4 of Shady Oaks Addition, based on the large lot area compensating for the
narrow frontage, the flexible buildin@ envelope that exists on the proposed
lot, and there would be no negative impact on the adjacent properties;
furthermore, approval is subject to the front setback line of the proposed home
not exceeding the front setback line of the two adjacent homes (the line drawn
between the two adjacent homes at their closest point to their front). Motion

~ CASE NO. 87-12; Council was referred to Planner's report (4-10-87),
~ FRONT SETBACK Planning Commission minutes (5-6-87) and Board of
VU.. ~D~S~ Appeals minutes (4-23-87).
Miller reviewed the background of the Minor Subdivision of this parcel,
approved by Council in December 1986. The parcel does not have public street
frontage and is accessed by private easement.
The Planner identified the steep slope at the rear of the Anderson lot and
noted that if the applicant maintains the 40 ft. front setback, the rear of the
proposed house will be at the base of the slope. The applicant has applied for
a 20 ft. variance, to avoid drainage problems and to create a more usable rear
yard.
Council was referred to a letter from Engineer Barry Peters (4-22-87), stating
he has reviewed the request and is comfortable with the variance as proposed.
Peters asked the Planner to relate to the Council that the letter should not be
considered as a recommendation for or against approval of the requested
variance.
Hiller explained that the property is very isolated from Lake Johanna Blvd. and
the two adjacent homes south of the parcel are setback approximately 10-15 ft.
from the access easement, which already establishes a lesser setback.
Futhermore, Miller advised that at the time Council approved the subdivision of
. these two parcels, he had commented that the lots would be buildable without
variances, however, the applicant has chosen to request the variance to create
a more usable rear yard and to cause less disruption to the resr slope of the
property.
Council discussed if the property owners to the south of the parcel would be
affected by drainage problems.
Clerk Aministrator advised that any improvements of the access easement must be
approved by the Engineer.
Planner commented that approval of the requested variance would not relieve the
property owner of his responsibility not to create further drainage problems,
as stipulated in the conditions of approval of the minor subdivision.
There was discussion relative to construction of the home on the parcel without
the requested variance.
Mark Anderson, applicant, advised that an architect designed the home so that
it would not create further drainage problems for the adjacent properties to
the south. Anderson advised he is working with the Barry Peters on the
improvement of the access easement and has discussed the creation of a culvert
to divert water from the southerly lots. He noted that all the conditions
stipulated in the minor subdivision approval have been accomplished, with the
exception of the access easement improvement.
. Moved by Hansen, seconded by Sather, that Council
approve Case No. 87-12; Front Setback Variance, on the basis of the hardship
imposed by the steep rear slope of the land, the parcel is located on a private
roadway that is isolated from the main street, and that other homes south of
this site are not in compliance with current setback requirements. Motion
carried. (Hansen, Sather, Peck, Winiecki voting in favor; Woodburn opposed)
(4-1)
CASE NO. 87-15; Planner Miller reviewed his report of 4-29-87, and
SITE PLAN REVIEW referred Council to Planning Commission minutes of
& VU, ALPO FOODS 5-6-87.
The Planner stated the lot is currently zoned I-I and adjacent to a residential
development, therefore, a 75 ft. setback is required. Since the Planning
. Commission meeting he had discovered a zoning map, which was in effect prior to
the'State releasing the land proposed for Highway 5l, that shows the boundary
line for the zoning district along the rear property line for Alpo Pet Foods.
After discussion with the Zoning Administrator, it was determined that Alpo had
not acquired any of the land released by the State and, therefore a variance
was necessary.
Miller pointed out that since the variance was identified after the Board of
Appeals held their meeting, Council may consider referring the variance to the
Board of Appeals for review and recommendation back to Council.
'.."'-' . oJ "..,. '~J --- - --
Page I, ,
ALPO (CONT'D) The Planner explained the proposed construction of the
addition to the Alpo building, which will house a tank -
for storage of liquid tallow. The applicant had advised Miller that the tank
will be sealed and should not emit any additional odor. -
Council discussed neighborhood complaints relative to odor emission; the Zoning
Administrator Iago had received one complaint prior to the Planning meeting and
Mrs. Zehm, the former Zoning Administrator had indicated she received several
complaints over the years she was employed.
There was also discussion of screening at the northwest border of the property
and the Parks Director explained that Alpo personnel had planted 30-50 trees
along that property line on Arbor Day. Buckley noted that the evergreens were
planted in double rows and should mature within a few years.
Council had questions relative to the processing and storage of the liquid
tallow and determined they needed more information from a company
representative.
Hansen moved, seconded by Peck, that Council table Case
No. 87-15, to the next regular Council meeting on May 26, 1987, and refer the
variance request to the Board of Appeals for their review and recommendation;
furthermore, Council requested a representative of Alpo Pet Foods be contacted
by staff and requested to appear before the Council at their May 26th meeting
to discuss the methods of tallow processing and storage, odor emission from the
plant and screening at the rear property line. Motion carried. (5-0)
CASE NO. 87-10; Planner Miller reviewed his report and referred Council .
SETBACK VAR. , to Planning Commission minutes of 5-6-87 and Board of
1305 TILLER LN. Appeals minutes of 4-23-87. Planning Commission and
Board of Appeals recommended denial of the request,
based on the inability of both boards to identify a hardship and approval of
the request may establish a new setback line by precident.
Miller explained the interior floor plan of the home, problems with roof lines
in the rear of the home, and eagerness to eliminate the steep driveway prompted
the applicant to consider the expansion from the front of the home rather than
the rear.
Council was referred to the Planning Commission minutes of May 6, which listed
the reasons for the applicant's request.
After discussion, Council suggested the applicant be encouraged to remove the
two condemned fireplaces in the home and lower the driveway elev~tion, for
their safety, even if approval is not granted.
Moved by Hansen, seconded by Peck, that Council deny
Case No. 87-10; Front Setback Variance, 1305 Tiller Lane, rationale for denial
being there is no unique identifiable hardship, granted the variance may
establish a new setback line by precident and other options for expansion could
be explored by the applicant. Motion carried unanimously. (5-0)
REPORT OF PARKS DIRECTOR
1987 SUMMER PROGRAM Council was referred to the 1987 Proposed Summer .
Program Schedule submitted by Buckley.
Hansen moved, seconded by Sather, that Council approve
the 1987 Summer Program Proposal as submitted by Parks Director John Buckley.
Motion carried unanimously. (5-0)
APPROVE 1987 SUMMER Council was referred to Buckley's memorandum (5-6-87),

- CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS UPDATE (CONT'D)
ROYAL HILLS - The wear course is ready to be placed on the road at
this time. The storm drains have to be cleaned out and the manholes aligned;
the work should be completed in a month.
GLENVIEW AVENUE - The storm sewer project on Glenview started this
date. A curb service for water was damaged and had to be repaired before they
could continue the project.
NORTHWOODS DRIVE; OPUS BUILDING - The only items remaining are the
placement of the wear course of blacktop and some work on the pond. John Lee of
SEH and Raddatz inspected the project and compiled a list of clean-up items;
upon notice of completion of the list, a reinspection will be done.
HAMLINE AVENUE - The landscaping, trees and schrubs, are in place.
Sodding and the wear course of blacktop need to be completed. The contractor
advised that they must wait 7 days before they can stripe the road; due to the
oil in the blacktop. Raddatz discussed possible traffic problems with Deputy
Herbst and they will try to minimize trsffic problems during the 7 day period.
KEITHSON DRIVE - All the utilities are in place. as well as gravel and
curb and gutter. The blacktop will be completed sometime in August. Raddatz has
had discussions with a representative from the State Hwy. Dept., regarding the
right hand turn lane onto Hwy. 96. Council discussed the issuance of an
. occupancy permit before a hardtop surface is placed on Keithson. Raddatz stated
there is 2 ft. of sand under the road and with the gravel there may not be
problems (potholes. etc.) Sather questioned that the road would be under
Village jurisdiction as it is being constructed by the developer. Council
requested the Clerk Administrator review past policy on the issuance of
occupancy permits prior to hardtop surfaces in residential areas.
WATER TOWER - There are six sections of the water tower now in place.
The bowl section will be welded after two inspections have been made. The
inspections are done by two different persons, with an x-ray machine. The
condensation ceiling is also being installed. The tower will be 141 ft. to the
I,OOO,OOO gallon mark; ISO ft. ,to the top. When the tower is completed, the
Village will landscape and plant tress around the base; evergreens, hardwoods
and sod. The project, thus far, is on schedule. Councilmember Winiecki asked if
the landscaping removed from the Lift Station UIO could be replanted at the
water tower. Raddatz advised personnel has moved some plantings and will
continue as both projects progress.
MUD JACKING,CURBS - The mud jacking is completed. The work will be
checked in the fall to determine if it has stayed in place.
REPLACEMENT OF ALARM BOARD - The transistors on the circuit board that
control the pumps and alarms for the lift stations were damaged by a power
surge. A proper signal from the tower was not received and caused the tower to
flood; the pumps would not shut down. Raddatz replaced the board with a spare
. and repaired the damaged board.
PAVEMENT MGMT. PLAN Council was referred to Raddatz's memorandum, 5-7-87,
requesting authorization for SEH and Raddatz to begin
the Pavement Management study. He advised that $10,000.00 had been budgeted in
the Street portion of the budget, under Engineering Fees, for this project.
Council requested that SEH compile a cost breakdown of project project costs
for use in compiling the 1988 budget.
Sather moved, seconded by Peck, that Council authorize
the Public Works Supervisor and Short Elliot'Hendrickson to begin the Pavement
Management Study. Motion carried unanimously. (5-0)
LIC & PERMIT FEES Council was referred to Finance Committee minutes of
. April 23rd, relative to the subcommittee
recommendations for increasing license and permit fees. The Committee had
recommended that the fees be reviewed every two years. A survey of five
surrounding communities was completed, in an effort to maintain equity, and
also the Committee determined the fees should more closely reflect the costs of
regulation and administration of the licenses and permits.
Councilmember Winiecki suggested the permit fee for the rendering plant be
increased from $600 to $630, to cover the cost of inspection of the plant.
Mayor Woodburn noted that the General Contractors, Excavators, Plumbing and
Contractors license fees would require an Ordinarice amendment; suggested the
Attorney be requested to draft the amendment.

FEES (CONT'D) Councilmember Sather questioned the fees for restaurant -
and cafe licenses, as there are not health inspections
provided. The Clerk Administrator advised that the fee covers the -
administrative costs for issuing the license; when a health complaint is
received by the Village, the appropriate State agency is called for an
inspection and may request Dr. Dunn, our health inspector, also inspect the
premises.
Councilmember Peck commented that the proposed increases in the contractors and
rubbish haulers licenses will more than likely be passed onto the residents of
the Village. He questioned why the dog licenses were not issued on a life-time
" basis.
Mayor Woodburn explained that a rabies vaccination is required every two years
and proof of vaccination must be shown when renewing the dog license.
Moved by Hansen, seconded by Woodburn, that Council
approve the proposed permit and license fee increases, excluding the
Excavatorst Plumbers and Contractors, as outlined in the Finance Committee
minutes of 4-23-87.
Winiecki moved. seconded by Peck, that the motion be
amended to include the Rendering Plant permit fee increase from $600.00 to
$630.00, to cover inspection costs.
Amendment to motion carried. (5-0)
Original motion as amended carried. (5-0) .
Council requested the Clerk Administrator contact the Attorney to determine if
the Rendering Plant fee increase requires an Ordinance amendment.
CONTRACTORS LICENSE Clerk Administrator Morrison inquired if Council
concurred with her suggestion to request the Attorney
to draft an Ordinance revision to include licensing of General Contractors,
Excavators and Plumbers; she offered to work with Lynden to draft the revision
for the next regular Council meeting.
Council commented that Plumbers and Electricians are licensed by the State and
would be excluded.
Moved by Hansen. seconded by Peck, that Council directs
the Clerk Administrator and Attorney to review current fees and draft an
Ordinance revision relative to General Contractors, Excavators, Plumbers,
Heating Contractors, and Rubbish Haulers licenses. Motion carried. (5-0)
UTILITY RATE Council was referred to Finance Committee minutes
INCREASE 4-23-87, relative to increasing utility rates. The last
increase for sewer utility was in 1981 and the
Committee recommends a 15% increase, effective July 1st; this increase is
expected to cover costs through 1989.
Council discussed the charges for sewer utility to non-profit organizations. .
Morrison advised the Attorney informed her the Village cannot charge a higher
fee to non-profit organizations nor a lower fee.
Council questioned the formula for commercial accounts and the reference to
sewer utility rate increases providing a "minimal amount of cushion".
After discussion, Council concurred that they would like to clarify the
rcommendations of the Finance Committee and requested a representative of the
Committee be present at the next regular Council meeting of May 26th.
OTHER BUSINESS
PARKING AT MOUNDS Councilmember Peck discussed the parking situation at
VIEW HIGH SCHOOL in the area of Mounds View High School. He suggested .
the Clerk Administrator be given authorization to post
the no-parking signs when deemed necessary, rather than review each posting
with the Council.
Council discussed the placement of signs at access roads only; removal of signs
during the summer months.
Morrison advised that Commander Bergeron stated there may be difficulty
prosecuting offenders if the signs are removed and replaced. Mayor Woodburn
noted the prosecuting Attorney saw no problem with prosecuting offenders.

PARKING (CONT'D) Councimember Hansen commented that she had discussed
the parking situation with the School Board; the
response was that it is a City problem. Council suggested urging residents to
submit a petition to the School Board requesting resolution of the parking
situation.
After discussion, Council consensus was to approval individual street postings
until the end of this year and review the parking situation prior to the
beginning of school next fall.
Peck moved, seconded by Sather, that Council ratify the

OTHER BUSINESS
TOUR OF NSP FACILITY Councilmember Hansen reported that the RCLLG meeting
tour of the NSP Plant in Newport was well attended by
representatives from Arden Hills and was very interesting and informative.
RESIGNATION; ZEHM Councilmember Hansen thanked Steve Zehm for his years
of service as a part-time employee. Clerk Administrator
advised Council that a Public Works employee had expressed an interest in the
custodial position; Council instructed Morrison to review the Union contract
for any conflicts.
. PROPOSED SERVICE Council discussed the informational memorandum from
FEES INCREASE Clerk Administrator regarding an increase in fees for
services provided by the Village; i.e., copies of
Council and Planning minutes, assessment searches, Code Books, etc.
Council suggested the clarification be included, such as "annual fee" or
"postage included", on the final draft. Council questioned if copies would
still be provided free of charge to County Board Chairman, Ramsey County
Sheriffs Department, etc., and if the increase reflects what surrounding
communities charge. Morrison stated the copies would still be provided free of
charge to persons connected with the operation of the Village; she noted the
fees reflect what metro area communities are charging for these services.
Hansen moved, seconded by Winiecki, that Council accept
the miscellaneous fee increase, effective July 1, 1987, as proposed by the
Clerk Administrator in her informational memorandum (5-8-87). Motion carried
unanimously. (5-0)
DRAINAGE PROBLEM Mayor Woodburn referred Council to a letter dated
1270 WYNRIDGE 5-7-87, relative to the drainage problem on Wynridge
caused by improper grading.
Clerk Administrator commented that she has discussed the matter with the
Building Inspector who advised the owner of the property has the necessary
equipment to correct the problem, Squires has contacted the owner and stated he
. would check the area to determine if the grading has been corrected.
Morrison suggested sending a certified letter to the owner defining what needs
to be done and setting a date for completion of the project.
Council discussed what the basis for enforcement would be and recommended
Morrison review the matter with the Attorney, Building Inspector and Public
Works Supervisor to determine responsibility for correction of the problem.
KARTH LAKE CIRCLE Mayor Woodburn referred Council to a letter regarding
a hedge on Karth Lake Circle and Hamline Ave., which
hinders motorists visibility; also mentioned was the poor striping on Hamline
Ave. Council instructed the Public Works Supervisor to review both items and
report to Council.
. MSA FUNDS; SNELLING Mayor Woodburn advised the Village has been rejected
for MSA Funds for Old Snelling Avenue, however, the
Engineer is still pursuing this matter.

Present: Barbara Piotrowski, Ray McGraw and David Carlson.
Absent: Jean Lemberg.
Also Present: Councilmember Jeanne Winiecki. Bob Vissers, 1258 Wynridge;
Pam Gantz, 1250 Wynridge; Brent Nelson, 1266 Wynridge and
Harvey Stewart, General Manager of Alpo Pet Foods, Inc.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Councilmember Winiecki noted that her name was not listed as present at the
April 23rd meeting, when she did indeed attend.
Clarification was needed on the last sentence on page I of the April 23rd
minutes: "It is not the homeowners responsibility to landscape accordingly as
to prevent run-off onto other adjacent properties I The Board consensus (and
the meaning behind the exclamatory statement) is: The homeowner is
. responsible to landscape accordingly as to prevent drainage onto adjacent
properties, is he not! The sentence will be changed to read: "It is the
homeowners responsibility to landscape accordingly, as to prevent run-off

Motion to approve minutes as corrected carried unanimously.
CASE NO. 87-15 - Rear Setback Variance, Alpo Pet Foods, Inc. t 4251 Fernwood
After discussion, the Board voted unanimously (4-0) in favor of the requested
variance. (Lemberg voting absentee after visiting the site and discussing
with Chair)
1. According to Mr. Stewart, this new system will be completely sealed and
should not emit additional odors.
2. Working Conditions will be much safer for the workers who have previously
hand-dipped this hot tallow from 55 gallon drums.
3. The proposed location of the new storage tank, for reasons of economy and
efficiency seemed reasonable to the Board members.
4. With the 50 ft. public pedestrian way adjacent to the rear of the Alpo
property, there is 113 feet separating the proposed addition and the
adjacent residential lots, which seemed adequate to the Board members.
Alpo has also planted 60 spruce trees, which will act as a screen when
mature.
5. The Board determined that visually, the adjacent neighbors should not
notice the proposed addition; they will still be viewing a white corner,
. that optically is not any closer to them. The Board empathized with the
neighbors concerns, however, relative to noise and odors. Mr. Stewart
assured those present that those items are within Ordinance and EPA
standards.
6. With approval of this Variance, the Board expressed the hope that any
future expansion will be within City Ordinance requirements.

CASE NO. 87-17 - Front Setback Variance, 1136 Hunter's Court, Dailey
The Board voted unanimously (4-0) in favor of the requested variance.
(Lemberg casting an absentee vote).
Granting this variance should have no negative impact on adjacent homes,
since they are all situated at a different angle on their lots within this
cul-de-sac. The Board identified the need to enclose the front stoop (which
currently has a roof over it) and that this addition would enable persons
entering the home through the front door more than a 6" clearance to remove
boots and wraps, especially in the winter months.
OTHER BUSINESS
SCHERER LUMBER - The Board discussed Planning Commission Minutes of May 6,
1987 and Council Minutes of May 11, 1987, regarding the
Planning recommendation and Council approval of variances requested by
Scherer Lumber Company, Highway 10. The Board did not recall seeing any
variances on our agenda items concerning this project. The Board questioned
why these variances were not reviewed/referred to the Board of Appeals. Once
again the Board of Appeals and Adjustment has been overlooked as a judicial
body.
JOINT MEETING - There was discussion relative to the purpose and intent of
the Board of Appeals. Chair Piotrowski stated she had
. written a letter to Council asking for some direction and guidelines
concerning this matter. Deputy Clerk Iago has scheduled a meeting with
Piotrowski, Planner Miller, Mayor Woodburn, Councilmember Winiecki, Planning
Chairman Curtis, Clerk Administrator Morrison and herself, to be held on June
3rd at 6:30 p.m., at the Village Hall, to discuss this issue.
JUNE MEETING - Councilmember Winiecki advised the Board she would be on
vacation in June; she stated she would be back in town
prior to the June 29th Council meeting and July 2nd Planning Meeting.
Winiecki asked if the Board could schedule their next meeting on Tuesday,
June 30th (rather than the last Thursday in June). The Board agreed on the
June 30th date.

Review of Police and Fire Department Reports
It was noted that there were no residential burglaries in Arden Hills in the
month of April.
House NumberinR - Publicity
A sample door hanger urging home owners to properly identify their homes, and a
sample flier for distribution to home owners, had been included with the
agenda. Council had, at their May 11 meeting, approved distribution of either
. of these in the way in which the Committee thinks most effective.
Committee suggestions included:
- Steglich has knocked on doors of fellow residents at the trailer park
whose homes are not properly identified, telling them of the need for
proper identification; has found this approach successful.
- Committee members felt the publicity should include recommendation for
the size of the numbers; agreed that numbers 3" high or larger, in
contrasting colors, should be recommended.
- Malone suggested that the sentence "in order that the City can better
protect you in an emergency" replace cOllllllent urging their compliance with
City code; stated this might be psychologically more effective.
- Committee recommends that the message on the flier be changed to have the
paragraph stating the advantages to residents of legible numbering come
first, building code requirements second, and an appeal to properly
identify their home third.
After these changes in verbiage are made, Committee concurred to recommend that
the fliers be printed on a distinctive color paper and included in the next
issue of the Town Crier. They further recommended that door hangers be
prepared and distributed to those homes without proper identification by the
CSO officer, Committee members, and City employees on their regular rounds of
duties.
The results of these attempts to encourage proper home identification will be
. assessed by the Committee by picking some sample blocks at random, noting how
many are properly numbered before distribution of literature, and how many
residents have responded and properly identified their homes a month to two

. ecorative Street Lighting, Arden Oaks Court
David Angell, 1443 Arden Oaks Court, and Gary Kremer, 1437 Arden Oaks Court,
stated that the seven homeowners in this cuI de sac would like to install, at
their own expense, decorative street lights on each of their respective lots.
They are getting estimates on ten to twelve foot high lights, with 100 to 17~z
watts power, automatically activated. They would like to install them about" ,
~ in from the curb, in line with the Cable TV boxes, NSP lines, and mail boxes.
If installed here, they would be on the City's easement, but because of the
other installations here, feel they would not be a problem when snow plowing.
They added that they have had some break-ins in the area, and feel lighting of
this type will make the neighborhood safer, as well as add to its
attractiveness.
(The master street lighting plan prepared by the Street Light Subcommittee has
a street light planned for the intersection of Arden Oaks Court and Arden Oaks
Drive in the secondary phase of its plan -- none in Phase I.)
Committee members noted that many residents have lighting of this type in front
of their homes; that they have been required to install the lights on their own
property, not on boulevards, and expressed concern about the City's liability
should the lights be damaged by City employees when snow plowing or doing other
maintenance work.
It was moved by Zehm, seconded by Timm, that Committee recommend to Council
that, while Committee has no objection to the installation of these decorative
. lights as long as they are not a problem to any neighbors, that such lights not
be allowed to be isntalled on City easements, for reasons of liability, as well
as precedent-setting. Motion carried unanimously.
Recycling Report
Letters inviting trash haulers and recycling firms to submit bids for a
recycling program in Arden Hills were sent to all known trash haulers in the
metropolitan area, as well as Ramsey County's list of all known recycling
firmst in early April. One firm bid has been received, from Super Cycle, of
$850 per month, for a monthly curbside pickup of recyclable materials
(newsprint, cardboard, separated glass, and metal). Waste Management, Inc.
attended last month's Committee meeting; stated that they do not have a plan in
place for providing recycling services at the present time, but are planning to
develop one. No other positive responses have been received.
Long, from his conversations (in his business) with these firms, stated that
most are hesitating to get into the business since costs and requirements are
not fully known. Malone questioned the Metro Council and State legislation
requiring recycling; it was his understanding that State legislation does not
include mandatory recycling by fourth class cities; Metro Council (or/and
Ramsey County) legislation seems to include them. Another concern is the
successful operation of the recycling facilities such as Newport...none has
been in successful operation long enough to know if they are indeed going to
llworktl.
Staff was requested to ascertain when requests for grants from Ramsey County to

. assist in covering the City's costs in establishing a recycling program could
again be submitted. Staff is also requested to contact Dave Fridgen, New
Brighton, for information about how they handled publicity, etc. on their newly
instituted recycling program.
The subject was continued to the next month's meeting.
REPORT OF PUBLIC WORKS SUPERVISOR ROBERT RADDATZ
Pavement Management Plan
Barry Peters, SEH, and Raddatz have begun this assessment of City streets with
a "windshield" tour of the City; will begin walking the streets and rating them
as to condition; will then prepare charts planning the best maintenance and
reconstruction plan for each.
Round Lake Interceptor
Construction is ahead of schedule; should be ready to hook up with the New
Brighton Interceptor as soon as December. At that time Lift Station #10 (by
the entrance to Edgewater Estates) will be dismantled.
Royal Hills
The final wear coat will be applied next month; the sunken curb stops and other
problems have been corrected.
Glenview Ave. Storm Sewers
. This project is almost completed.
Northwoods Drive
The final lift will 'be put on the blacktop on this street shortly.
Hamline Avenue
Landscaping and sodding is being completed this week; the wear coat will be put

Keithson Drive
Sewer and water, curbs and gutter are in. Three houses have been started.
Water Tower
Construction is proceeding rapidly. Committee recommends that Council begin
considering an appropriate color..since it will be painted by August.
OSHA Update
Mr. Zehm prepared and presented a report to Raddatz, dated April 3, 1987,
detailing corrections which should be made to Village property to meet OSHA
standards. (He noted that an official OSHA inspection would have resulted in
substantial fines to the City for violations. Mr. Zehm's partial estimate was
$IS,S67.00).
Zehm and Raddatz are also working on a set of safety rules, which will be
submitted to this committee, then to the Public Works employees, and their
union, for discussion and concurrence.
. Copies of Mr. Zehm's recommendations and the suggested safety rules will be
included in the June agenda for discussion at that meeting.

Minutes of Regular Finance Committee Heeting, March 26, 1987

.' April meeting. Committee concurred to invite a representative from
Springsted, Inc. to the May meeting to receive their recommendations.
Utility Rate Subcommittee Report
This subcommittee has met and prepared a recommendation for water rate
increase; plans to meet again to review sewer rates. Committee concurred
to delay action on the recommended water utility rate increase until the
sewer rate increase recommendation is received.
Sewer rates have not been increased since 1981; all residences pay the
same rate, $27.16; commercial/industrial/charitable/public accounts, pay
based on water usage.
Water rates were last increased in 1984, from .97/1,000 gallons to
$1.10/1,000 gallons. Standby rates were increased in July of 1986, from
$3.15 for residences to $5.00 (quarterly).
After reviewing tables prepared by HcNiesh, the subcommittee concluded
that in order to cover the increased costs of water purchase from St. Paul
and Arden Hills' costs, water rates would need to be raised 17 cents per
gallon effective 7/1/87 until the end of 1988. However, they recommended
a 15 cent increase, feeling 'a 17 cent increase too high to be palatable to
the public at this time.
Committee sentiment seemed in favor of a 17 cent increase, but action was
. deferred until the subcommittee completes its study of sewer rates.
Mertensotto requested, and Committee concurred, the Clerk to investigate
the possibility of different water rates for the non-profit institutions
in Arden Hills.

The meeting was called to order at 7:35 p.m. by Chairman Erickson.
Roll Call
Present: Larry Erickson, Charlotte McNiesh, Ed Menze, Chuck Mertensotto,
Trudy Rautio, Judith Stafford, Tom Steele
Absent: Eric Nesset, Bob Rehkamp, Ramanik Shah
Also Present: Mayor Robert Woodburn, Clerk Administrator Patricia J. Morrison,
Treasurer Don Lamb ' .
Approval of Minutes
It was moved by McNiesh, seconded by Rautio, that the minutes of March 26 be
approved as submitted. Motion carried unanimously.
Utilitv Rate Subcommittee Report
An increase in sewer rates to Arden Bills' residents has not been made since
1981. Studies made by this subcommittee show that the average yearly increase
in disposal costs with MWCC, over the past four years, (1981 to 1985) has been
$.0325 per thousand gallons. The average yearly increase in Arden Bills'
operating costs has been $.0073/thousand gallons.
Adding the increased costs of these four years, and anticipating continued
. yearly cost increases of this magnitude, results in an overall .2147/thousand
gallons flowage increase in operating costs of the Sewer Utility in the period
from 1981 to 1989.
Commercial accounts, whose sewage output is measured, are currently charged
$1.46 per thousand gallons of output. The subcommittee is recommending that
the .2147 increase in operating costs per thousand gallons be rounded to 22
cents making the charge $1.68, or a 15% increase covering the next four years
of this eight year period (7-1/2% increase per year). The subcommittee
recommended that residential and senior rates be increased 15% also.
This increase, if approved, would be the minimum required to cover operating
costs of the sewer utility until 1989 and provide a minimal amount of "cushion"
to help cover the costs incurred in building the Interceptor.
In discussion, it was noted that it had been anticipated by the Council, that
between reserves in the Sewer Utility and tax ~nies. enough money was
available to pay for the Interceptor; however, the bids came in $100,000 above
the estimate. It was also noted that in view of that fact that no increase in
sewer rates had been made since 1981, this is a relatively small increase
(prorated over this period of time).
Mertensotto asked the possibility of different sewer rates for different types .
of accounts (business, tax-exempt, residential), While this does not seem
feaSible, the Clerk-Administrator was asked to have a survey made of
. neighboring communities' (including Minneapolis and St. Paul) sewer and water
rates, and methods of computation of these.
The subcommittee's recommendation regarding water utility rates was given to
---------
.
Minutes of Regular Finance Committee Meeting, April 23
. Page 2
the committee at last month's meeting. The committee in turn accepted their
recommendation, (for a 17 cent increase per thousand gallons) but deferred
formal action pending the Sewer Utility recommendation. An excerpt of the
Karch minutes, detailing the rationale and recommendation, is attached.
Motion was made by Steele, seconded by Rautio, that Committee recommend to
Council that sewer rates be increased 15% effective July 1, in accordance with
the schedule prepared by the subcommittee:
Commercial - $1.46/ thousand gallons flowage + .22 . $1.68
Residential - $27. 16/quarter + 15~ - $31.23
Seniors - 1/2 of $31.23 - $15.62.
This increase is expected to cover increased costs through 1989. Motion
carried unanimously.
It was moved by Steele, seconded by McNiesh, that Committee recommend to
Council that water rates be increased 17 cents per thousand, effective July 1,
with the minimum rates increased proportionately. Steele noted that with an
approximate 7% yearly increase in inflation rates, the increase in water rates
coupled with the recommended increase in sewer rates seems consistent with
this.
The effect of the increases on the average citizen's quarterly bill would be
. $7.00 to $8.00.
Motion carried unanimously.

. MEMORANDUM
Date: May 21, 1987
To: Arden Hills Council
From: Robert W. Raddatz, Public Works Supervisor
Subject: Purchase of Jetter Truck
Specifications were prepared, published and mailed to four equipment
companies. Two bids were returned, however, upon opening one company
did not submit a bid amount. The other bid received was from Flexible
Pipe Tool Company, Sauk Centre, Minnesota. Flexible Tool Company's bid
exceeded the specifications for the Jetter Truck and they are allowing
$8,000.00 for our old Jetter. The hid was $56,775.00.
The Jetter Truck was budgeted over a two year period ($33,000.00 in 1987
and $30,000.00 in 1988).
I recommend that we accept the bid from Flexible Tool Company and order
this truck; it is my opinion the truck is a necessary piece of equipment.

I have done the following computations to determine the raw
value per land:
$56,900.00
2l.4 acres = $2,658.88 per acre
j $2,658.88 x .54 acres = $1,435.80
! It is my understanding, based on the foregoing computations,
I
that Mr. McGuire must pay a monetary fee in the amount of
I $1,435.80, plus the 1.6 acre dedication to the park.
I have forwarded a copy of this letter to the City Attorney,
James Lynden.
! Mr. McGuire is in the process of obtaining written approval
I of compliance with the garage sprinkling issue requested by
the LJVFD Chief and approval of the exterior lighting plan
l. and landscape plan.
If either you or'Mr. Lynden have any questions regarding these
I
I computations, please contact my office.

Very truly yours,

Purchase of Parks Truck-
Specifications were prepared, published, and mailed to seven dealers
for the Parks One Ton Truck. Bids were to be opened May 21, at
2:00 p.m.
Only one bid was received, from Minar Ford. The truck would be a 1988
model, comparable to the trucks ordered two years ago. The bid for
cab and chassis was $13,995.00. The truck bid submitted meets all the
specifications.
We now will have to bid for the box, plow and hoist. This will come
close to $6,000.00.
. I recommend that we purchase the cab/chassis and go ahead with the
bidding for the box, plow and hoist.

Date: May 21, 1987
To: Arden Hills Council
From: Robert W. Raddatz, Public Works Supervisor
Subject: Purchase of Jetter Truck
Specifications were prepared, published and mailed to four equipment
companies. Two bids were returned, however, upon opening one company
did not submit a bid amount. The other bid received was from Flexible
Pipe Tool Company, Sauk Centre, Minnesota. Flexible Tool Company's bid
exceeded the specifications for the Jetter Truck and they are allowing
$8,000.00 for our old Jetter. The bid was $56,775.00.
The Jetter Truck was budgeted over a two year period ($33,000.00 in 1987
and $30,000.00 in 1988).
I recommend that we accept the bid from Flexible Tool Company and order
this truck; it is my opinion the truck is a necessary piece of equipment.
