BUSINESS FROM FLOOR None.
. LINDEY'S TRIANGLE Council was referred to letter from Robert Plunkett
dated 6-2-87; regarding Judge Fleming's decision
relating to the discharge of the highway easement at Lindey's Triangle.
Plunkett explained the Court decided that the entire parcel is still subject to
the highway easement and the parcel is still being used for highway purposes;
use of the parcel for occasional recreational use or softball play is
consistent with its use for public purposes. He advised Council that today the
Board of Commissioners determined the property value, with the highway easement
upon it. to be $5.000.00 and awarded appraisal fees in the amount of $300.00 to
Kenna's appraiser. for a total cost to the City of $5.300,00. Plunkett noted
that this amount was less than the original offer the City had made to Kenna.
Plunkett advised that the respondent has 40 days to appeal the decision; he
outlined reasons why, in his opinion. the District Court would not in all
probability overturn the decision. He, therefore, advised the Council that they
have a reasonable amount of time to abandon condemnation proceedings, or. to
decide to purchase the parcel.
Council discussed the options of abandoning the condemnation proceedings or
purchasing the parcel. Plunkett and Village Attorney Lynden agreed that if the
Council abandoned the condemnation proceedings the City would have the
obligation to pay Kenna's attorney's fees; which may exceed the amount
determined for the purchase price of the land. Plunkett also pointed out that
. Ramsey County would have the option to release a part of the parcel for
development if the Kennas or any other developers would come to the County with
a sufficiently large cash offer; in other words, purchase of the land by the
City would prohibit this type of litigation from private parties in the future.
Council asked the Parks Director for his opinion on purchase of the parcel.
Buckley commented that there is not much open space left in this older area of
the Village and this parcel should be preserved for residents in the area; also
this area is one of the gateways to our community and should be retained.
Rob Plunkett thanked Planner Orlyn Hiller and John Buckley for their valuable
assistance. Council expressed their thanks to Attorney Plunkett for his fine
work on this matter.
. Moved by Peck, seconded by Winiecki, that Council
proceed with the acquisition of the property known as Lindey's Triangle.
generally located in the area Qf Snelling Avenue and County Road E, and,
further. authorizes the payment of $5,000.00 to John J. Kenna, Jr., for the
parcel of land and $300.00 to Mr. R. J. Tansey. Kenna's appraiser. for payment
of appraisal fees. Motion carried. (5-0)

ORD. NO. 246; Council reviewed Ordinance No. 246, pertaining to
SNOWMOBILE &,ALL further amendment of the Snowmobile and All Terrain
TERRAIN VEH. ORD Vehicle Ordinance.
In discussion. Council questioned if the language relating to the hours of
operation should be the same in Section 26.35 (b); hours of operation on
roadway and Section 26.42; hours of operation within 100 feet of a residential
building.
Attorney Lynden suggested deleting the terminology "within the hours of 10:00
p.m. and 8:00 a.m." in Section 26.42 and adding the terminology "except as
permitted in Section 26.35." He noted that the entire ordinance is drafted to
permit things by exception rather than directly addressing what is permitted.
Councilmember Hansen advised that some cities have eliminated the operation of .
snowmobiles on the lakes; she suggested Council consider prohibiting the use of
snowmobiles on lakes in Arden Hills.
Councilmember Sather stated that since we share shoreline with the City of
Roseville at Lake Josephine staff should review their ordinance relating to the
use of snowmobiles to insure compatibility. In discussion. Council determined
that the County should review the ordinances since they are responsible for
enforcement on the lakes.
Lynden commented that the Ramsey County Attorney should draft a model ordinance
for the cities.
Councilmember Winiecki questioned if Section 26.38 had been retained in the
ordinance; since Section 26.36 refers to that section.
Lynden stated it was retained and it defines crossing streets.
Council concurred that the Clerk Administrator should forward a copy of this
ordinance to Ramsey County Sheriffs Office for their review and request a copy
of Roseville's ordinance for comparison purposes.
Moved by Hansen, seconded by Peck. that Council suspend
the rules, waive the reading and approve ORD. NO. 246, AN ORDINANCE AMENDING

that Council approve the language change in Section 26.42 which deletes the
terminology "within the hours of lO:OO p.m. and 8:00 a.m." and insert the
terminology "except as permitted in Section 26.35."

Minutes of the Regular Council Meeting. June 8, 1987

. PROPOSED ORD.; Council was referred to the proposed ordinance
CHARIT. GAMBL. regulating lawful gambling; as drafted by the Village
Attorney.
Lynden reviewed the new State legislation which defined the percentage of net
proceeds to be given to the City and the fees to be charged by the City for
investigations; not more than lOX of the net proceeds can be given to the City
and the fee charged for investigations is limited to $lOO.OO. The Attorney
advised the Clerk Administrator suggested referencing the investigation fee by
Council resolution, limiting the fee to $lOO at this time, but providing an
easier spproach for increasing the fee in the event it can be increased.
Lynden also reviewed an item from the League of Minnesota Cities relative to
Cities imposing a local gambling tax on each licensed organization if the tax
proceeds are necessary to cover the costs of regulation of gambling; he noted
. the tax may not exceed three percent of the gross receipts of the organization.
minus prize costs. The tax is in lieu of all other local taxes and local
investigations fees and must be reported annually. Lynden stated this may not
be cost effective administratively; he has not had the opportunity to review
the reporting process and what is involved.
Councilmember Hansen questioned:
Section 6, EliKibility for License - Are requirements stringent/specific
enough;
Section ll. Sites for Issuance of Licenses - Does this section effectively
. eliminate Bingo Hall, since it is not specifically addressed.
Section l3. Number of Licenses in the City - Can phase out process be completed
in a shorter time span.
In response to the questions. the Attorney stated that Section 6 requirements
are. in his opinion, rigorous; Section ll. he was unsure of terminology to
describe the facility so he used "auditorium"; suggested adding "public hall"
to the list of facilities.
There was discussion relative to the number of licenses versus the number of
bingo occasions which can be held. Lynden advised that Section l5 addresses
this matter and that Arden Hills ordinance can be more stringent that State
Law.
Council also discussed Section 19, age limit. whether or not children under the
age of l8 should be allowed to play Bingo.
Councilmember Hansen expressed her opinion that children under l8 years of age
should not be allowed to play; Winiecki stated that there may be occasions
where going to play bingo would be a family activity.
Council discussed whether or not Churches could request Bingo permits for a one
time occasion. Lynden advised the ordinance could provide for one time. special
events; he noted the Church group would still have to apply for the State
license even for one time occasions.
. There was discussion relative to establishments where lawful gambling is
allowed. The Attorney advised it is outlined in this draft ordinance and may be
changed by the Council at their discretion.
Councilman Sather stated it is his opinion that trying to enact an ordinance
regulating lawful gambling at this time, after approval of the Bingo Hall has
been granted. is poor policy. He asked for the Attorney's opinion relative to
legal exposure of the City and outlined his reasons for concern.
Lynden commented that he would need to further research the matter of legal
exposure before an opinion could be given, in light of the costs incurred by
the Bingo Hall.
Council discussed the new legislation relative to lawful gambling. the phase
out process. referring this matter to a sub-committee for study, discussing the
. Council concerns with the owners of the bingo facility and setting criteria for
review of gambling licenses.
Councilmember Hansen advised that an Attorney General's opinion would be
forthcoming regarding the Little Canada Bingo operation; she stated it may be
prudent to review that opinion and also the minutes of the Little Canada
Council meetings relative to this matter.

CHAR. GAMB. (Cont'd) Council concurred to hold further discussion of the
proposed Charitable Gambling Ordinance until after an .
Attorney General's opinion has been received relative to the Little Canada
operation and the Village Attorney has had an opportunity to review new State
Legislation and discuss the Little Canada bingo operation with their staff.
CASE #87-l7; VAR. Council was referred to Planner's report of 5/27/87,
ll36 HUNTERS CT. the Board of Appeals Minutes (5-2l-87) and Planning
Commission Minutes (6-3-87) both recommending approval
of the variance .
Miller explained the house currently has a small roofed porch at the front
entrance and the applicant is proposing to enclose the open porch. The
enclosure will extend to within 35 ft. of the front lot line; the Arden Hills
code permits a 3 ft. encroachment for an "open porch". however, a 40 ft.
setback is required for an enclosed entrance.
The Planner noted that no hardship related to the land has been identified and
stated justification would have to relate to placement of the house on the lot
and the fact that no reasonable alternatives exist for an enclosed entry (as
noted in the Planning and Board of Appeals minutes).
Council was referred to a letter signed by nine neighbors of the applicant;
stating they are not opposed to the variance as requested.
Moved by Sather. seconded by Peck. that Council approve
Case #87-l7. a 5 ft. Front Setback Variance at ll36 Hunter Court. as submitted.
Discussion ensued relative to whether or not a precedent would be established .
on this cul-de-sac street. Hiller advised that on a curvilinear street uneven
setbacks are not as apparent as when homes are set in a straight line.
Councilmember Hansen commented that after viewing the site, it was her opinion
that the appearance of the home would be enhanced by the enclosure.
Motion carried. (Sather, Peck. Hansen, Winiecki voting in favor; Woodburn
opposed) (4-1)
CASE #87-18; SITE Council was referred to Planner's report. 5-27-87, and
PLAN REV. & VAR., Planning Commission minutes (6-3-87), recommending
ARDEN HILLS CLUB approval. with conditions as outlined in the Planning
minutes.
Miller explained the applicant is proposing to replace the air-supported
structure. as well as expand by adding two additional tennis courts and
increasing the parking area. He reviewed the current parking situation and
explained that in his opinion the two additional courts coupled with 20
additional parking spaces will not increase the parking deficiency but will
contribute to the general parking supply. Miller noted that if the intensity of
use of the facility increases significantly, the applicant will have to
research the possibility of "shared parking" with Control Data.
The Planner referred Council to the Board of Appeals letter dated 6/8/87. .
recommending approval of the 5 ft. height variance as requested.
Council discussed the proposed alternate parking lot design as prepared by the
Planner; questioned if the driveway shown to the south is currently in place
and expressed concern about safety for patrons of the facility.
Miller advised that the southerly driveway is currently used as a service
drive, therefore. patrons are aware of it; he also commented that the service
drive could use upgrading and the alternate parking lot design would allow for
upgrading in conjunction with the expansion. as well as creating extra parking
spaces and eliminating the third access onto Fernwood Avenue. He advised
Council that the dumpster located in the service drive area is not currently
screened and the applicant would have to provide screening.
There was discussion relative to the parking deficiency. The Planner stated .
that the Special Use Permit approved for the Sports Clinic located in the
facility included a stipulation for review of the parking area and compliance
to parking requirements if a. problem arises; he noted a possible alternative
would be a "shared parking" agreement with Control Data.

CASE #87-l8 (Cont'd) Council questioned the 40 ft. height of the
. air-supported structure; asked the Planner if this is
the standard height for this type of structure.
Miller stated he has not verified a standard height for air-supported
structures; however, since they are commonly used he could research the matter.
Fire Chief Winkel commented that Council may consider reviewing the Uniform
Fire Code relating to this type of structure before approval is granted; he
advised there are requirements such as. distance of air-supported structures
from existing buildings and storage.
Moved by Hansen, seconded by Sather, that Case #87-l8
be continued to the Regular Council Meeting of July 13th, to allow the Fire
Chief time to review the Uniform Fire Code, as it relates to air-supported
structures. and to provide the Planner time to review typical heights of these
structures. Motion carried unanimously. (5-0)
CASE #87-l9; MINOR Council was referred to Planner's report (5-28-87) and
SUBD. & SITE PLAN Planning Commission minutes of June 3rd; recommending
REV , DAYBRIDGE CNTR. approval with several contingencies.
Planner Miller reviewed the conditions of the recommended approval and
explained the Minor Subdivision. He advised the City required a 20 ft. easement
be provided. granted to the City. between the City property and the proposed
Daycare site. Miller noted that the easement would have to be maintained and
was granted in lieu of partial park dedication; he was unsure if the park
. dedication had been fully resolved.
Planner explained the temporary access drive that will be provided to Hamline
Avenue and eventually will serve the entire site; applicant advised the south
side of the access drive will have permanent curb at this time and the other
side would be blacktop only. He noted that no grading plans have been received
yet and upon receipt they should be evaluated relative to drainage. tree
removal and grading. Miller also reviewed the single access to the site from
Highway 96. centered on the east property line; this driveway will also serve
the future development to the east. Both access drives have been reviewed by
Glen Van Wormer, Traffic Engineer. and have been determined acceptable in terms
of sight distances and separation from the HamlinelHighway 96 intersection.
Miller reviewed the sign proposal and advised the applicant. had assured the
Planning Commission members the sign would meet code requirements and,
therefore, no variances are being requested at this time.
Miller discussed the landscape plan and suggested some berming at the front of
the site and additional plantings at the rear of the site where the property
abuts the Townhouse Villages. The applicant has evaluated the plantings at the
rear of the site and has a plan to present this evening that addresses the
matter.
Council was referred to the discussion at the Planning Commission meeting
relative to screening of the mechanical equipment on the roof of the proposed
daycare center. Miller displayed a site-line visibility diagram, which
. indicates that the rooftop mechanical equipment will be visible from the second
level of the townhomes. unless screening is provided at the property line or on
the building. He stated the applicant has indicated that they are agreeable to
working with staff to provide adequate screening of the rooftop equipment.
There was discussion regarding the screening of the trash containers. Miller
explained the containers would be located near the front of the site and stated
that the applicant had not provided a plan for screening but would be willing
to do so.
Dwight Chestnut and Randy Petersen. Daybridge Daycare Center, displayed photos
of the site showing site lines on the property looking south toward the
townhomes. They stated they are agreeable to providing additional plantings and
to work with staff on this issue.
. There was discussion relative to the operation of the daycare facility.
Council questioned if there.wou1d be a crossover provided on Highway 96.
Randy Petersen stated there would not be a crossover, which was the reason for
the access drive to Hamline Avenue.
~
Minutes of the Regular Council Meeting, June 8, 1987
Page 6
CASE H87-l9 (Cont'd) Moved by Sather. seconded by Peck, that Council approve
Case H87-l9, Minor Subdivision and Site Plan Review for .
Daybridge Daycare Center, contingent upon the conditions as outlined by the
Planning Commission in their minutes of June 3, 1987, and, upon resolution of
Park Dedication.
There was discussion relative to the landscape plan and berm. The Planner
stated the berm would be moderate and he would prefer to defer approval of the
landscape plan until the site has been graded. Miller also addressed Council
questions relative to extending the roofline parapet for screening purposes; he
noted that was his recommendation, however, even if that is provided there
would be the need for additional screening from the second level of the
townhomes.
Council concurred that the applicant should be required to provide adequate
. screening since this parcel will set a precedent for the remaining vacant
portion of land. Council also commented that they would like to see a fair
percentage of the screening provided by evergreens.
Council discussed the striping of Hamline Avenue to locate the access drive and
a mandatory right turn lane for the access drive off Highway 96. Miller advised
he would review both matters with Glen Van Wormer. He stated it was the
Engineer's opinion that the right turn lane from Highway 96 would be a
mandatory requirement from KN/DOT.
Council also discussed the park dedication for the parcel; questioned if the
matter was resolved by providing the 20 ft. easement. .
Parks Director Buckley stated he would research the matter and report back to
Council.
Motion carried unanimously. (5-0)
EDGEWATER ESTATES Planner reported to Council that he had reviewed the
LGTING/LANDSCAPE landscaping and lighting plans and they conform to City
PLAN REPORT requirements for these items. He noted that the
landscape plan did not address the entrance to the
apartment complex; applicant was unsure as to why this area was not included in
the plan submitted. Miller advised that if an adequate job is done at the
entrance. similar to the plan submitted this evening he would recommend
approval.
Planner reviewed the lighting proposed for the driveway. parking lot area and
front of the building; it is a low-level bollard light. He stated security
lighting is provided at the sides and rear of the building by small
building-mounted floodlights.
Council questioned if the underground garage facility would be lighted.
Miller stated he was not aware of the light source in the underground garage
facility. however, it is usually provided on a permanent basis for security and
safety purposes.
The consensus of the Council was to accept the Planner's recommendation for .
approval of the lighting and landscape plans, contingent upon applicant
providing Planner with design for entrance landscaping.
EDGEWATER ESTATES; Council was referred to Fire Chief's memorandum
GARAGE SPRINKLING (6-5-87); which states that although the underground
REPORT; FIRE CHIEF garage area will not be sprinkled. the owner has
provided the alternatives for compliance with the
Uniform Fire Code. Winkel stated the owner is providing portable extinguishers
and openings of 20 sq. ft. every 50 linear ft. which are entirely above ground.
He noted that the windows in the garage area are 32 sq. ft. in size and are
placed every 30 ft.; which exceeds the U.F.C. requirements.
Councilmember Winiecki questioned if there was access provided to the rear of
the building for emergency vehicles. .
Fire Chief Winkel stated there is a gravel road at the rear of the building for
emergency vehicle access; he noted that the applicant was not required to
provide this access but has been very cooperative. Council accepted the report.
NO. HGTS. LUTHERAN Planner discussed the conversations he has had with
CHURCH, LIGHTING Arlo Lien. Business Manager for the Church, relative
to the lighting complaints received by the Village.

.
Minutes of the Regular Council Meeting, June 8. 1987
Page 7
LIGHTING (Cont'd) Miller stated that Lien was planning to contact his
. consultants relative to refocasing the existing lights
and ordering screens for the lights to reduce the spread of the lighting. He
further advised that Lien stated the light shields are being shipped; he
explained that he would like to have an opportunity to evaluate the lighting
for compliance with the zoning code when the shields are in place, during the
evening hours. When this is accomplished. Miller will report back to Council.
REPORT OF PARKS DIRECTOR
PROB. COMPLETION Council was referred to Buckley's memorandum (6/3/87)
UVINF~LER regarding Kevin Fuller's completion of his probationary
period and recommending a salary increases.
Buckley stated the Kevin has been an excellent employee and will satisfactorily
complete his probationary period on June 30th. He recommended a $.50 per hour
increase at this time and continued $.50 per hour increases at six month
intervals until Kevin's salary is equal with other Parks employees. Parks
Director advised this it would take approximately 2 years to accomplish the
salary equity and that each s~x month increase would be reviewed by Council.
Sather moved. seconded by Winiecki, that Council
approve the full-time employee status of Kevin Fuller upon completion of his
probationary period on June 30. 1987. and authorize a salary increase as
outlined by Parks Director John Buckley in his memorandum of 6-3-87. Motion
carried unanimously. (5-0)
. PURCH. OF PARKS The Public Works Supervisor reviewed the information
ONE-TON TRUCK he had discussed at the last Council meeting relative
to the bid received on this vehicle.
Raddatz stated that he polled the dealers to whom bids had been sent and
reported that this is the time of the year when model changes occur; dealers
are hesitant to submit a bid on the 1988 models since firm prices are not
known. It was Raddatz's opinion that re-bidding would not be beneficial and he
recommended accepting the bid from Minar Ford for the 1988 Truck at a cost of
$13,995.00.
Raddatz advised Council that he and the Parks Director had discussed the
purchase of a 1986 Truck that was on the car lot, owned by GMC, however GMC was
not willing to lower the price of the vehicle. He stated that the new 1988
truck could be purchased for approximately the same price as the 1986 truck.
Council questioned if the box and plow would be bid separately.
Raddatz stated they would.
Moved by Hansen, seconded by Sather, that Council
approve the purchase of a one-ton truck for the Parks Department from Minar
Ford, at a cost of $l3,995.00.
In discussion, Council questioned if Raddatz would trade in the old truck at a
. value of $5.000.00 or sell it outright. Raddatz stated the old truck is in
good condition and it was his opinion that selling it outright may be more
profitable.
Motion carried unanimously. (5-0)
RES. #87-29; INCR. Council was referred to Finance Committee minutes of
BLDG. PERMIT FEES May 28th. recommending an increase in Building Permit
Fees.
Mayor Woodburn discussed information he had compiled relative to current fees
and projected income with the increase. He stated the increase for an average
building permit for single family homes would be two and one-half times greater
than the current fee. He questioned if the 65% surcharge for plan review is in
addition to the building permit fee increase.
. Clerk Administrator Morrison stated the 65% plan check fee would be an
additional charge; she advised she had contacted other communities (Roseville
and Shoreview) and found that even though the surcharge is mandated by State
law. they do not charge residential homes that fee. Morrison advised that the
State has not. to date, taken any action against these communities.
Morrison commented that the Building Inspector recommended Council adopt the
1985 Building Permit fee schedule and charge the 65% surcharge only on
Commercial and Industrial permit applications.

Page 8
RES. 87-29 (Cont'd) After discussion of the proposed increase. Council
concurred that they are opposed to charging the 65% .
plan review fee for residential building permits.
Councilmember Winiecki questioned if the increase seemed high due to the fact
the Village has not increased the fee for a number of years.
Morrison commented that the Village currently uses the 1979 Building Permit fee
schedule.
Moved by Sather, seconded by Hansen, that Council
approve Resolution No. 87-29; RESOLUTION REVISING FEES FOR BUILDING PERMITS,
RE-INSPECTIONS AND MISCELLANEOUS CONSTRUCTION PERMITS AS REQUIRED BY ORDINANCE
NO. 2l7, AND ABOLISHING RESOLUTION NO. 83-56, and furthermore, amends Item #2:
Plan Check Fee to read: II 50% of the building permit fee for all
commercial/industrial/institutiona1 new construction and remodeling permits."
. Motion carried unanimously. (5-0)
RES. #87-30; REV. Council was referred to Finance Committee minutes of
PERMIT FEES FOR May 28th recommending increased permit fees for Zoning
ZONING ACTIVITIES and Subdivision Codes.
Clerk Administrator Morrison advised the increases have been reviewed with the
Zoning Administrator and Planner and stated the increases more closely reflect
the fees charged by other communities and should adequately cover the
administrative costs.
Council questioned if applicants would receive an estimate of consultant fees .
upon submitting application.
Morrison advised that the fees would be based on the sophistication of the
case, however. she stated it may be possible for the consultants to give the
applicant an estimate of costs.
Moved by Hansen. seconded by Peck, that Council approve
Resolution No. 87-30; RESOLUTION REVISING FEES FOR APPLICATIONS UNDER CITY
ZONING AND SUBDIVISION CODES. Motion carried unanimously. (5-0)

MEMORANDUM
. --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: June 26,
1987
To: Arden Hills Council
From: Robert W. Raddatz. Public Works Supervisor
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
On Thursday evening, June l8, Fred Reed, who was the man on call. was
called to a water leak at l40l Skiles Lane. Fred called me, stating the
water was coming up in an area about 8 to 10 feet off the tar roadway;
Fred and I felt it was a watermain break. We called for locations from
the utilities, called Perron Excavating. and began excavating to locate
the leak early Friday morning.
The homeowner met us at the site; he stated that his curb box was probably
located at the spot of the leak. We dug by hand. found his curb box. and
shut it off. The leak stopped immediately; we turned it back on. and the
leak started again. We then turned off his curb box again.
At this time I jokingly said to Mr. Lemberg, that now the problem was his,
not mine...not that I didn't feel badly, but the City responsibility stops
at the curb box. He stated he fully understood this, and would take care
of it.
. At this time I told the men to go back to the shop., and told Mr. Perron we
would no longer need his services. Mr. Lemberg asked me if Mr. Perron
could repair the leak; I told him it was up to him to arrange for this.
He asked what Mr. Perron charged. and then told Perron to go ahead.
When Mr. Perron dug up the curb box, he found that it needed to be
replaced; I had to send two men out to locate valves and shut off the main
to do this. Mr. Perron replaced the curb box; we turned on the main. and
left Mr. Perron to finish the job.
Mr. Lemberg then stated that a large rock. lying on the pipe, had caused
the leak; he stated the City should be responsible for. this because of
poor construction back in 1970. He also states Mr. Perron left a big mess
and tore up more than was necessary.
I feel the City can't be held liable for work that was done so many years
ago. The leak was indeed on the homeowner's side of the curb box.
As far as the work that Mr. Perron did. that is between Mr. Perron and Mr.
Lemberg. Even though the City used Mr. Perron for our work, I did not
tell Mr. Lemberg to hire him. The arrangement was between the two of
them.

Minutes of Regular Parks and Recreation Committee Meeting
. Village of Arden Hills
Tuesday, June 23, 1987
Village Hall
Call to Order
The meeting was called to order at 7:35 p.m. by Chairman Sand.
Roll Call
Present: David Sand. Mary Gillies. Alan Montgomery, Jim Otto
Absent: Adele Anderson, Keith Enrooth. Don Messerly, Jim Mishek, Tom
Mulcahy. Mark Peterson, Tom Sued beck
Also Present: Councilmember Tom Sather. Parks Director John T. Buckley,
Clerk Administrator Patricia J. Morrison
Residents from North Snelling Park area:
Mike Kreidler
Bob and Suzanne Zapolski
Kathy Feely
Elizabeth Karel
Eileen Nordby
Rick Morphew
Approval of Minutes
Sand noted that, since the last meeting of the committee, Council had
approved the 1987 Park Development Plan. Buckley is appearing at the next
Council meeting to request approval for ordering the two shelters, play
. structure. grills, picnic tables. etc. on that plan.
The minutes of the March 24 meeting were approved as submitted.
North Snell inK Park Development
Buckley explained to the residents present Arden Hills' aim of a
neighborhood park within each neighborhood. Planner Miller's total
development plan for this park was reviewed with the residents, showing a
neighborhood playing field (which will not be large enough for organized
teams, but can be used for neighborhood soccer. t-ball and informal
softball). play equipment, picnic area. tennis court. and walking trail.
An informal skating area is planned, and a sliding hill. Current plans
are to seed the area this year, establish the playing field, and next year
put up the play structure. The Parks Department' experience has shown
that in a new neighborhood. it's best to install play structure first, and
other amenities later.
A petition from the residents (filed in the City Hall) urged early
development of the park area. Resident comments included:
...almost all the residents are eager for tennis courts.
...could we have an informal skating rink (over the playing field area)
next winter? We don't need any warming house or boards. just open
skating.
. ...with the play structure situated near the storm water holding area.
will there be a danger of small children wandering into the marsh area
below? Buckley assured them that the area will be left in a natural state
which will discourage children from venturing into the area; if this does
not prove an adequate barrier, more natural barriers will be planted.
.
I
Minutes of Regular Parks and Recreation Committee Meeting
. June 23. 1987 - Page 2
...The sliding hill appears to be near Highway lO; will there be barriers
there? Buckley stated the sliding area runs back towards the park. will
be some distance from Highway lO and perfectly safe.
...Residents suggested a hard court area for basketball. Buckley replied
that if tennis courts are installed, a hard court area will be provided in
connection with the courts.
...Residents seemed pleased with the park plans. agreed with Buckley's
plan to install playing field. then play equipmeQt, but reiterated their
strong desire for tennis courts. In obtaining signatures for their
petition for park development. they stated that every homeowner was eager
to sign. and every homeowner asked for play equipment and tennis courts.
Much interest in winter activities was also expressed (informal skating.
sliding hill).
Buckley pointed out the trail which will run through the park, connecting
the area with Colleen Avenue. hence to Floral Park and Cummings Park. The
trail, because of the topography of the area. will be a walking trail
only.
Before leaving, two residents of the area who participate in organized
hockey. commended Buckley and the Parks Maintenance staff on the excellent
. grooming on Perry Park Hockey Rink last winter; felt maintenance much
better than in Shoreview or New Brighton parks.
Council Report
Councilman Sather reported that agreement for park dedication had been
reached with the Eibensteiners for Keithson Addition. at lO% of raw land
value. $lO.400.00, payable by July l, 1987.
.Litigation concerning Lindey's Triangle was settled; the area will remain
as highway easement; the Council, for $5,300, became the underlying fee
owner of record, subject to easement of the highway...essentially, Arden
Hills now owns the property.
The Council is currently considering a Charitable Gambling Ordinance.
which would gradually phase out all charitable gambling in the Village.
Sather noted the income which the Park Fund had gained from this source.
the dwindling dedicated funds available; stated the Arden Hills
establishments with charitable gambling (Big Ten, Blue Fox. Pot 0 Gold
Bingo) were being well run.
Undeveloped Land - Parkway Study
Committee discussed the undeveloped land located at the Cleveland and D
entrance to the City. Highway 96 and Hamline, Lexington and Highway 96.
They discussed whether a subcommittee of this committee should be formed
.
.
Minutes of Regular Parks and Recreation Committee Meeting
June 23, 1987 - Page 3
. to make recommendations as to how these should be developed. Their
particular concern was land that will not lend itself easily to attractive
deve10pment...would it be advisable to recommend the City purchase it to
assure it's being developed in an attractive manner. particularly those
areas that are designated as city gateways. No action was taken.
Crepeau Park
Committee discussed the blacktopped path which MSI constructed on their
land bordering Crepeau Park; recommended that the oak trees which seemed
to be disturbed by the construction be monitored closely and treated if
necessary to prevent oak wilt. .
Arbor Day Report
Buckley reported that while there didn't seem to be as much citizen
participation, several Scout groups were involved this year and thoroughly
enjoyed the experience. He recommends directing future Arbor Day
activities into involving more of these groups.
Parks Tour
Committee recommended that. in the fall, a tour of trails only be held.
Summer ProJl;ram
Buckley reported all summer activities almost "exploding" this year.
There are 76 teams in adult leagues. 20 more in CDC league (lO more than
last year). T-Bal1 is up by five teams; there are 21 youth softball
. teams. It was necessary to add additional sessions and instructors in the
tennis and golf programs. The track program this spring had 650
participants.
Sand stated that several of his neighbors complained that they didn't hear
from their children's coaches until right before the program began...were
not Sure their application had been processed. It was explained that all
programs are operated on the basis that if an application is not returned.
the applicant should assume he is in the program; programs in the school
district and all surrounding cities are operated on this basis.
It was asked if it would be possible to send a confirmin~ note to
participants. Buckley schedules all activities himself. with a minimal
amount of help, and felt there was not time or funds to spend in sending
confirming notes.
Committee suggested that a statement be included in the Parks brochure
stating that unless you hear otherwise. you are registered, and in the
case of a class, appear at the designated time, and if a team, that a
coach will contact you.

Lot Offer
The owner of the lot at ll34 Amble Drive has written. saying he does not
wish to sellar develop the lot. and offered to lease it to the Parks
Department until he decides to develop it. Buckley checked the lot; found
it littered with cement pieces, brush. grass clippings; felt it of minimal
use to the Parks system, and would take a lot of time to clean up.
Morrison also mentioned the liability incurred when using someone else's
property. Committee requested Buckley to inform the owner that Arden
Hills was not interested in leasing the lot.

The meeting was called to order at 7:30 p.m. by Chairman Schultek.
Roll Call
Present: Dick Schultek, Roy Ambli. Rob Carley. Paul Malone, David McClung.
Bud Steglich, Jerry Timm. Ed Trolander. Don Zehm
Absent: Duane Long, Bill Gillies
Also Present: Councilmember Nancy Hansen. Mayor Robert Woodburn, Public Works
Supervisor Robert Raddatz, Clerk Administrator Patricia J.
Morrison, Deputy Frank Herbst .
Approval of Minutes
It was moved by Zehm, seconded by Steglich. that the minutes of May 21. 1987 be
approved as submitted. Motion carried unanimously.
Review of Police and Fire Reports
Deputy Herbst reported that l62 tickets had been issued at Lake Johanna the
weekend of June l3 and l4. (Of these. l3l were issued to Hennepin County
residents) . Problems with excessive parking on County Road E were still
experienced.
The number of alarm calls was up (59) (April had only 27).
. All but one of the burglaries which occurred in May were in the trailer court.
The number of DWI arrests made was down.
Carley asked if Arden Hills has a specific "Noise Ordinance". or if one had
ever been considered; stated his neighborhood had some problems with car repair
noises late at night. Deputies had been called; however, the noise resumed as
soon as the deputies left the area. Herbst stated that Bloomington had such an
ordinancet that Ramsey County Sheriff's pffice had the equipment to measure
noise levels. and he was trained in the use of this equipment. (Secretary's
note...the Arden Hills Council considered such an ordinance in August of 1980.
It was not adopted. because (a) most of the contractors ~orking in Arden Hills
at that time were cooperative about restricting noise level to day time hours.
(b) most noise complaints could be handled under provisions incorporated in the
Zoning Ordinance. (c) equipment was not then available to measure noise levels.
The Public Safety Committee, at that time, recommended delaying passage of any
such ordinance until we could observe how effectiveness and ease of enforcement
worked out for Bloomington.)
\, 'ParkinR Problems, Vicinity of Floral Park
Request had been received for "no parking" on one side of Royal Lane during
Little League games at Floral Park, since the street curves, visibility is
limited. and with cars parked on both sides of the street. it becomes too
narrow for two cars to pass each other with ease. This problem only occurs two
. nights a week, during the Little League season (late May to July).

After discussing various ways to improve safety in the area (warning signs,
flyers put on the cars to indicate drivers should park more considerately),
additional patroling of the area during ball games) it was moved by Zehm.
seconded by Steglich, that Committee recommend to Council that Royal Lane be
posted with cardboard signs. on the west side of the street, by Parks
personnel, on the evenings when games are scheduled at Floral Park. The signs
would be removed the following morning, by Parks personnel. (Resident Paul
Malone indicated that the situation is dangerous only during scheduled league
games. ) Motion carried unanimously.
Recyclinll; Update .
Letters sent to all rubbish haulers and all recycling agencies in the
metropolitan area resulted in one firm bid to provide Arden Hills with
recycling service, and one rubbish hauler indicating an interest in submitting
a bid. Ramsey County aims for a l6% reduction in the amount of waste generated
by each community by 1990. Malone reviewed options open to the Vil1age...(1)
apply for 1988 grant money and accept the recycling bid received for a monthly
pickup of recyclable materials from each home. (2) establish our own
Village-owned recycling service, (which has been done successfully in some
communities) or (3) do nothing. which would probably result in increased
assessment to Arden Hills residents from Ramsey County. He added that before
any recommendations are made by this committee, a lot of further study needs to
be made into each of these options, as well as into the possibilities of
organized refuse hauling.
. Colleen Halpine, Ramsey County's consultant in this area, had offered to attend
a meeting with the committee to further explain the County's recycling plans.
Because of the enormity and scope of the subject. Committee concurred to create
a citizen's subcommittee on recycling, which would then report to this
committee. Paul Malone and Nancy Hansen will serve; Morrison will invite a
representative from the Chamber of Commerce. Ms. Rob Carley has been invited to
join; Mary Trisko, an interested citizen and member of the League of Women
Voters. will be invited to serve. Ms. Halpine will be invited to attend the
first meeting of this subcommittee. (Secretary's note...the first meeting will
be held July 9, 7:00 p.m. at the Village Hall. Two League members. Mary Trisko
and Gloria Kuehn, agreed to be a part of the subcommitte~. Ms. Halpine will
attend. )
OSHA Update
Zehm's report covering his review of City operations for conformance to OSHA
standards was briefly discussed. Zehm pointed out that the report was not
complete; not all areas of the city have been surveyed as yet. Estimated OSHA
penalties (if an official OSHA inspection were made) cover only the bare
minimum that would apply.
He discussed briefly the implications of the recent legislation in this area.
The "confined entry" addition to OSHA standards will require a special permit
being required each time anyone enters a lift station, plus another individual
stationed outside the lift station, and another within calling distance. It
. apparently is possible to obtain a yearly permit for "confined entry" when all
. ~

. Page 3
other conditions are met. Raddatz stated that there are meters which could be
placed on top of the lift stations to check their operation so that it wouldn't
be necessary to actually enter them unless there was a problem.
Raddatz and Zehm added that some of the OSHA violations will be easy (and
inexpensive) to correct; others will be more costly. Committee recommends that
all be corrected, and if necessary, funds be provided in the 1988 budget to
accomplish this.
Zehm and Raddatz will also develop a Personnel S~fety Rules and Policies
manual; this would be submitted to the Union for review, and each employee
would be required to read and sign it.
Inside-Outside Meter Discrepancies , ,-
The outside meters on all homes are read quarterly by Public Works employees L/
before the quarterly billings. Raddatz believes that in many cases. the
outside meters are not recording water usage accurately. hence residents are
not being charged for the total quantity of water used. He suggested a meter
reading card be left at each home when the outside meter is read, the homeowner
be asked to read the inside meter and mail the card to the Village Hall, and
the two readings then compared so the accuracy of the outside meter could be
determined. He suggested this could be done just once, and the outside readers
that weren't accurate then repaired so they would be accurate.
. Motion was made by Steglich. seconded by Carley, that Committee recommend to
Council that a card be made up, with return postage, and left at each home
during one meter reading session, as suggested by Raddatz. Motion carried
unanimously.
Committee felt stron~ly that any resident found to have used more water than
the outside meter had recorded be required to pay for this additional water.
Security Fencin~, Public Works Buildin~
In discussing the recent theft of the rodder and truck. Raddatz asked Committee
input about installing security fencing of the area. He suggested 6' chain
link fencing of the back portion of the area. Committee.noted this abuts the
townhouses, urged that the appearance be considered. They discussed a redwood
fencing instead, but Herbst pointed out that the deputies patrol the area and
their view should not be obstructed. Committee recommends that Raddatz include
funds for chain link fencing of this area in the 1988 budget, and that
plantings be put along the outside to buffer it from the adjacent
neighborhood. Raddatz estimates the cost at about $10.00 per foot.
Council Report
Councilmember Hansen reported on Council actions of interest. She reported
that contract negotiations with the Fire Department are continuing; Arden Hills
has offered to pay costs of operation of Station Ul. and assume capital
expenditure costs. She noted costs for operation of Station Ul increased to
. $l7l,765 estimate; increases were made in training budget, clothes allowance,
among other items.
Adjournment
The meeting was adjourned at 9:20 p.m.

---------------------------------------------------------------
Wood Chipper
We have. in our long range capital outlay plan, purchase of a
brush chipper in 1988. The plans were to purchase this jointly
with the Parks Department...total estimated cost $l2.000, each
department to pay $6,000.00.
Mr. Buckley and'I received a notice of sale of a used chipper.
We spent Some time checking the machine. and operating it. It
seems to be in excellent condition. The motor has 358 hours of
use (which translates to a little over 43 days of use at 8 hours
per day). The chipper runs smoothly. and reportedly does not
use any oil. I am confident it would serve the City for a good
number of years.
The gentleman who owns the chipper would like $4,600 for it.
John and I would like to recommend purchase of the machine. with
. an initial offer to him of $4.200. Landfills no longer will
accept any wood or brush. and it is becoming more difficult and
costly. both in terms of disposal costs and manpower. to dispose
of dead wood and brush. In the past. we have been fortunate
enough to borrow chippers from Shoreview and Roseville (usually
at times inconvenient to us). for about eight weeks per year.
As you know. I did not hire the summer personnel budgeted for
this year. The purchase price of the chipper could come from
this savings.

Ms. Charlotte McNiesh
Clerk-Administrator
City of Arden Hills
1450 W. Highway 96
Arden Hills, MN 55112 .
Dear Ms. McNiesh:
Minnesota Housing Finance Agency (MHFA) has invited Metro HRA to apply for
funds appropriated by the State Legislature for Phase IV of the Rehabilitation
Loan Program. This program provides deferred payment loans to low-income
homeowners to make improvements affecting safety, energy improvements,
accessibility, and habitability of their homes. Metro HRA administers the
program in Ramsey County communities (except St. Paul).
When the program began in 1982, your city council approved a resolution
authorizing Metro HRA to apply for the MHFA funds and administer the program
. within your city. Since that time, we have administered $7,477 to assist home-
owners in your community to make improvements to their homes.
In order to complete our application for the Phase IV funding, we again need a
resolution authorizing your community's participation in the program. I have
enclosed a sample resolution such as the one that was previously approved by
your city council. Also enclosed is a summary of the program. Since Metro HRA
must submit its application to MHFA by July 10, 1987, we would appreciate your
help in getting the resolution scheduled (and approved) at the earliest
possible council meeting.
If you have questions or if Metro HRA can be of any assistance, please call
Kathy Fox at 291-6600.

MEMORANDUM
. --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: June 11, 1987 .-
To: Arden Hills Council
From: E. A. Oelke, Landscape Inspector
Re: Initial Landscape Inspection of Northwoods Office Park,l "' f -.:1._ r:--> 'J~;'(j
3900 Northwoods Drive /00
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
An initial inspection was made on April 26 with a follow-up visit on May
17. Generally, the landscape material at the Northwoods Office Park, 3900
Northwoods Drive, was found to be of excellent quality and conforming to
the landscape plan.
However, because of the lack of snow last winter, many of the evergreen
shrubs were brown from winter injury and may have to be replaced. The
shrubs which were brown are noted on the landscape plan with a red circle
around them. Most of the brown shrubs were on the north and west side of
the building. The most severe browning occurred on the Tauton Yew shrubs
on the northwest side of the building. Yews are particularly susceptible
to winter injury, especially when on the northwest side of the building.
Since so many are injured and may not survive, it may be desirable to
. consider a type of Juniper which is mO,re sun tolerant for the northwest
side of the building.
Some of the landscape material was missing. The missing plant material is
indicated in red on the landscape plan. I have indicated on the plant
list also the missing plant material. The actual number, if different
from the original number, is given in red. Following the plant list, 3
silver maple trees are missing; one on the southwest corner of the front
, berm and two in the front parking lot area. The 2 weeping willow trees
planned for the south berm are missing. There were a total of 5 Colorado
Green Spruce missing; 3 by the front entrance to the building and 3 in
front of the sign by the main entrance. The plant list indicated 33 Red
Twig Dogwood but only 21 were present. Eight Gold Drop Potentilla were
missing according to the plant list; however, the landscape plan indicated
that only 65 should be planted on the southwest side of the building.
There were a total of 81 on the southwest side.
The plant list indicated 20 more Scandia Juniper than the landscape plan
indicated. Perhaps the 20 Scandia Juniper on the "enlarged sign plan"
were counted twice since they are drawn in the overall plan as well.
There were only 183 Matador Daylilies present compared to 481 called for
on the plant list. Also only 117 tulips were present compared to 240
indicated on the plant list. There were only 129 Hosta plants compared to
240 on the plant list. There were 2 fewer Japgarden Juniper present than
the plant list indicated. The missing 2 are shown in red on the northwest
. edge of the front pond.
Besides the evergreen shrubs, some of the other landscape material needs
to be observed for survival. These are indicated by a red circle around
.
.
the material on the landscape plan. Starting on the northwest corner of
. the landscape plan, 2 of the Colorado Green Spruce have little new
growth. The 2 Silver Maple in the parking lot diViders have only one
branch on the bottom leafed out. One River Birch on the northwest side of
the building is weak as is one of the Colorado Green Spruce. One of the
Sugar Maple trees on the northwest edge of the front pond is also not
leafed out very well, and one Colorado Green Spruce on the south edge of
the pond doesn't have much new growth.
Overall, the landscape material was well maintained. The areas were
sodded that needed sod and retainer walls and edging was properly
installed. I recommend acceptance of the landscape plan after the missing
plant material is added and the winter injured material replaced.

... MINUTES OF THE ARDEN HILLS REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING! "c;,E
Monday, June 29, 1987, 7:30 p.m. - 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 Nancy Hansen,
Thomas Sather and Jeanne Winiecki. Absent: Councilman Gary Peck. Also present:
Engineer Barry Peters, Treasurer Donald Lamb, Parks Director John Buckley,
Public Works Supervisor Robert Raddatz, Clerk Administrator Patricia Morrison
and Deputy Clerk Catherine Iago.
APPROVE MINUTES Sather moved, seconded by Hansen, that Council approve
the minutes of the Regular Council meeting of June 8,
1987, as submitted. Motion carried unanimously. (4-0)
BUSINESS FROM FLOOR None.
REQ. SEMAPHORE; CO. Council was referred to a letter from William Bretzke,
RD. E & PINETREE DR HSI Insurance, requesting Council reconsider placement
of a semaphore at the intersection of council Road E
and Pine Tree Drive (6-8-87).
After reviewing the Public Works Supervisor's memorandum (6-26-87); regarding
traffic counts at the intersection, which show traffic counts lower compared to
1986, Councilmember Hansen commented that the lower traffic counts may relate
to street repairs in the area of Hamline/Snelling Avenue.
. Barry Peters, SEH, reported that the traffic counts were done on Pine Tree
Drive (north bound lane); he stated that the Lexington Avenue bridge
construction may also contribute to the decreased traffic counts. Peters
distributed a memorandum from Glen Van Wormer, Traffic Engineer, which advised
that the County has agreed to make a current traffic count for both east and
west bound roadways approaching Pine Tree Drive and he stated the results would
be available in approximately one month.
William Bretzke, MSI, expressed concern for MSI employees safety at the busy
intersection; stated this concern prompted MSI to request the semaphore.
Council commented that another traffic signal along County Road E, within a
span of slightly more than one quarter mile, may increase accident potential.
Barry Peters concurred; he was unable to explain rationale, however, he
commented that traffic engineers e~pres~that theory.
There was discussion relative to alternate solutions for decreasing traffic at
the intersection; staggered starting times for MSI employees, lowered speed
limits on County Road E, intermittent type of semaphore light, and prohibiting
left turns (during rush hours) from access drives on County Road E.
After discussion, Council concurred to continue this matter until such time as
further information on traffic counts in the area is received from the County
. and analyzed by Glen Van Wormer.
Barry Peters suggested taking a traffic count on Lexington Avenue, at Harriet
Ave., to determine if traffic is moving in that direction and lowering traffic
counts on County Road E.
WATERHAIN BREAK; Council was referred to a letter from Brad Lemberg
1401 SKILES LANE (6/23/87) 1401 Skiles Lane, and memorandum from Public
Works Supervisor (6/26/87); relative to the watermain
break at Lemberg's property.
Brad Lemberg complemented the Public Works Supervisor and crew for their
promptness in responding to his call, and their cooperative attitudes. Lemberg
advised his complaint related to Mr. Perron, the contractor who did the repair
work; it is Lemberg's opinion that Perron was careless when excavating his
. property to repair the watermain. he also stated that the contractor who
installed the watermain in 1970 caused the leak in the pipe, he explained a
large rock was pushed against the watermain, cracked the pipe and must have
caused the leak (see letter dated 6/23). Lemberg stated that he used Perron's
services because the Public Works crew, before determining location of break,
had called him and he was 'on the scene; he assumed Perron was reputable and
capable because he was called by Village employees.

..
Minutes of the Regular Council Meeting, June 29, 1987 .
Page 2
1401 SKILES (Cont'd) Lemberg requested the Council consider reimbursing at
least a portion of his expenses for the repair of the
pipe and replacement of the law; it is his opinion that the original
contractor, hired by the City to install the watermain, caused the leak to
occur; estimated repair cost for the watermain break is $560.00 and lawn
replacement estimate is approximately $500.00.
Council questioned if other complaints had been received by tre Village staff
relative to Perron's work on repair of watermains or condition of property
after repair is completed.
Raddatz stated that the City staff usually does the sod replacement when Perron
has done work for the Village; he stated he conveyed to Lemberg that it was his
responSibility to hire a contractor of his choice.
Moved by Hansen, seconded by Sather, that the City of
Arden Hills reimburse Brad Lemberg in an amount up to $280.00, to be used toward
payment of the watermain repair costs he incurred and, furthermore, that the
Public Works staff repair the lawn at 1401 Skiles Lane at an appropriate time
after the ground has settled.
In discussion, Councilmember Winiecki expressed sympathy for Lemberg's .
situation, however, she stated that the Village crew did not create the damage
to the lawn and disagreed with staff replacing the lawn. Winiecki advised she
was not opposed to contributing toward the repair cost for the watermain break.
Councilman Sather stated that a letter should be sent to Mr. Perron. advising
his work is unacceptable; he further stated his opinion was that the Village
should participate in the repair and restoration of the Lemberg property.
Motion carried. (Hansen, Sather Woodburn voting in favor: Winiecki opposed)
(3-1)
EXTERIOR COMPLETION The Clerk Administrator advised Council that complaints
OF PROPERTIES had been received from residents regarding the exterior
completion of properties in Arden Hills.
Grant Wishart, 1424 Arden Oaks Drive and Frank Dolinar, 1435 Arden Oaks Drive.
explained that there is a home in their neighborhood that has been under
construction since March of 1986: residents in the area are concerned about the
unsightly appearance of the property and safety of the children in the
neighborhood due to the construction materials left of the property. They
requested Council adopt an ordinance pertaining to a time limit for completion
of residential homes in Arden Hills and further requested the property in their
neighborhood be inspected for ordinance and code violations.
Paul Malone, 1485 Dawn Circle, commented that he has a similar situation in his
neighborhood; the home in question has been under construction for a period of .
3 years. He discussed the matter with the Zoning Administrator and found that
Certificates of Occupancy are not issued for residential properties. Malone
strongly favored the adoption of an ordinance which addresses a time span for
completion of residential properties.
Council discussed the issuance of Certificates of Occupancy for residential
properties, conducting a survey of surrounding communities relative to
completion dates for residential homes (including lawns, driveways, etc.) and
clean-up of construction materials.
Mayor Woodburn stated that the Planner had done some preliminary surveying of
other communities; he reviewed the results.
There was discussion relative to the Uniform Building Code guidelines and
extenuating circumstances which may prolong the completion of residential .
construction.
- Minutes of the Regular Council Meeting, June 29, 1987
Page 3
. Council consensus was that the Planner be requested to survey other communities
and draft a report establishing guidelines for completion of residential homes;
the report should encompass the following items:
- Issuance of Certificate of Occupancy required.
- Time frame for completion of residential homes.
- Clean up of construction materials.
- Completion of driveways and lawns by seeding or sod.
- Provision for residents to request extensions due to hardship or
mitigating circumstances.
- Any other aspects of single family construction that the Planner deems
appropriate to be included.
Council requested the report be returned to them for review at a Regular
Council meeting in August.
. COUNTY RD. I; Council was referred to a letter from Ramsey County
REALIGNMENT Public Works (6-10-87), requesting Arden Hills review
the alternatives for the realignment of County Road I
from Hamline Ave. to Lexington Avenue and report to the County which
alternative is preferred.
Barry Peters reviewed the County report and ou~lined the pros and cons of each
alternative 'as per the matrix provided with the report. Peters advised that
County prefers Alternative #1: Glen Van Wormer, Traffic Engineer, indicated
. that none of the first three alternates in the report were better than each
other, however, he expressed concern that realignment of County Road I may
change the MSA status of Hamline Avenue in Arden Hills. He also noted that the
cost of implementation of Alternatives 1 thru 3 would be approximately the
same.
Council discussed the reasons listed in the County report for realignment of
County Road I, possible placement of a traffic signal at County Road I and
Hamline Avenue, and cost participation between the cities and the County.
Sather moved, seconded by Hansen, that Council defers
comment on preference for the realignment of County Road I until such time as
information has been received from the School District, Lake Johanna Volunteer
Fire Department and the City of Shoreview relative to realignment of County
Road I. Motion carried unanimously. (4-0)
POT O'GOLD the Clerk Administrator reported that the landscape
BINGO PARLOR and lighting plan for the Pot 0' Gold Bingo Parlor
were to be returned to Council for their review no
later than June 1987. She advised that Planner Miller had not received a copy
of the landscape plan which identified the plantings (description and size)
and therefore was unable to recommend approval.
After discussion. Council concurred that approval from Planner Miller was
sufficient and the landscape plan would not have to be reviewed by Council at
. this time. It was determined that the lighting plan submitted when public hall
use was granted would be sufficient.
Council discussed the registered letter sent to Mr. Walsh from the Building
Inspector (6-26-87). Discussion ensued relative to the issuance of certificates
of occupancy for commercial properties prior to the completion of the building
and compliance with all inspections.
Jim Adams, Manager of Walsh properties, stated it was his understanding that
all final inspections of the building had been completed; commented that the
property owner would cooperate with all requests in the letter.
Morrison reported that after discussion with the Building Inspector, it was her
understanding that certificates of occupancy had been issued in the past prior
to completion of all inspections to eliminate further delay to the occupants.
She explained that periodical inspections of the premises had been done by the
. electrical, plumbing, building and heating inspectors.
Council concurred that in the future no certificates of occupancy should be
issued for business properties until owner's compliance with all codes are met
and all inspections of the business have been completed. Council determined
that the items listed in the Building Inspector's letter of 6-26-87 require
administrative approval, when accomplished, and would not have to be reviewed
by Counc i 1.

REPORT OF PARKS DIRECTOR
PURCHASE PARKS Council Was referred to memorandum from John Buckley,
STRUCTURES 6-17-87, regarding the purchase of parks structures;
picnic shelters ($2,561), picnic table frames, grills,
and parks benches ($2,974), and playground equipment ($7,000).
Councilmember Hansen questioned if picnic grills were used frequently in the
parks; Buckley stated he has observed them in use on a number of occasions.
Sather moved, seconded by Hansen, that Council approve
the expenditures for 1987 Park Development, as outlined in John Buckley's
memorandum of June 17, 1987, in the amount of $12,535.00. Motion carried. (4-0)
SllHHER PERSONNEL Council was referred to a memorandum from Parks
Director, 6-25-87, regarding Summer Program Personnel.
Council questioned if it was mandatory to pay minimum wage for program
assistants. The Clerk Administrator stated she would review the State
guidelines and report back to Council.
There was discussion relative to instructors salary variations; Buckley advised
some salaries appear higher, however, some instructors work less hours and have
more technical expertise.
Hansen moved, seconded by Sather, that Council approve .
the Summer Program personnel, as outlined in the Parks Director's memorandum of
6-25-87. Motion carried unanimously. (4-0)
ALCOHOLIC BEV. Council discussed the consumption of alcoholic
CONSUMP. IN PARKS beverages in Arden Hills parks; Buckley advised that
as well as a Village Ordinance which prohibits the
consumption of alcoholic beverages, the League Rules for softball teams include
a provision regarding this matter. He noted that the Ramsey County Sheriffs
Department Deputies patrol the parks and enforce the Village Ordinance.
REPORT OF PUBLIC WORKS SUPERVISOR
WATER METER The Public Works Supervisor reviewed the background of
DISCREPANCIES discussions relating to the water meter discrepancies
between the indoor and outdoor meters which were first
discovered in the Townhouse Villages. Council was referred to the Public
Safety/Works Committee minutes of June 18th regarding this matter.
Raddatz advised that the outside meters on all homes are read quarterly; it is
his opinion that in many cases the outside meters do not accurately record
water usage. He obtained a sample meter reading card from the St. Paul Water
Department and suggested staff design a similar card, to be left at each home
when the outside meter is read, asking the homeowner to read the inside mater
and mail the card to the Village Hall. When the cards are returned, a .
comparison of the two meters could be done to determine accuracy of the outside
meter; this information would determine the extent of the problem and identify
faulty equipment. Raddatz further suggested that this project be undertaken in
conjunction with the September water meter readings and billing process.
Council discussed what incentive residents would have to complete the card;
questioned if an amnesty program should be initiated.
Raddatz commented that homeowners are probably not aware of the meter reading
discrepancies; his opinion was that most residents would complete the card
because eventually these discrepancies will be found and the cost will be
accumulative.
Sather commented that the water utility rate increase would be effective July
1st; he strongly suggested that any discrepancies found, if charged to the
homeowner, be reimbursed to the Village at the present rate. He offered the .
following language to be placed on the meter reading card for resident
participation:
The City of Arden Hills Water Department has instituted a policy whereby
during one quarter during the calendar year, all water meter readings will
be taken from the internal water meter. Since we were unable to gain access
to your residence, please fill out this card and return same to the Village
Hall at your earliest convenience (or give deadline).

. Minutes of the Regular Council Meeting, June 29, 1987

. WATER METER (Cont' d) Hansen reported that the PS/W Committee had suggested
the following wording: "If the card is not returned
within (a certain time period) we will contact you and arrange for a date to
gain access to read the meter." ; it was her opinion that most residents would
cooperate because eventually the discrepancy would be found and the cost would
increase.
After discussion, Council concurred to instruct appropriate staff to draft a
"mock-up" water meter reading card and return the sample to Council for their
review.
REQUEST NO PKING. Council was referred to the Public Safety/Works
SIGNS: ROYAL LANE Committee minutes of June 18th; relative to parking
problem in the vicinity of Floral Park.
Raddatz advised a request had been received for "No Parking" signs to be placed
on one side of Royal Lane during the Little League games at Floral Park; poor
visibility and safety of children were reasons cited.
Council reviewed the parking ordinance, which prohibits parking within 20 ft.
of any intersection without a crosswalk; questioned if enforcement would help
alleviate the problem.
Paul Malone', PS/W Committee member, stated the street curves and with vehicles
parked on both sides visibility is extremely limited. He questioned if the no
. parking area would be easily identifiable if signs were not posted.
Hansen asked the Parks Director if it would be feasible to use a cardboard sign
and have the team coaches carry them with the ball equipment and post prior to
each game.
Buckley stated, in his opinion, the cardboard signs would deteriorate quickly;
he favored a more permanent material.
Moved by Sather, seconded by Winiecki, that Council
approve posting Royal Lane, at the intersection in question, with "No Parking
Here to Corner" signs or directional arrows, whichever best identify the area
as a no parking zone. Motion carried unanimously. (4-0)
PURCH. WOOD CHIPPER Council was referred to Raddatz's memorandum of 6-25-87
recommending the purchase of a used wood chipper.
Raddatz advised that the chipper was to be purchased new in 1988, jointly with
the Parks Department, at a total estimated cost of $12,000.00. He and Buckley
had received notice of the sale of a used chipper; after vieWing and operating
the machine they found it to be in excellent condition. The owner quoted a
price of $4,600 for the chipper; Raddatz stated he and Buckley recommend
purchase of the machine and suggested an initial offer of $4,200.00. He noted
that no summer personnel was hired for Public Works this year (due to past
problems with employees and a change in the school work program), therefore, he
. recommended purchase of the chipper from the funds not expended for hiring
summer personnel.
Council questioned the estimated life span of this type of machinery.
Raddatz advised that a chipper usually has a life span of apprOXimately 20
years; the motor on the machine for sale has 358 hours of operation and
reportedly does not use any oil.
~ Moved by Hansen, seconded by Winiecki, that Council
approv the purchase of a wood chipper, at a cost not to exceed $4,600.00, and
that the funds budgeted for 1987 Public Works Summer Personnel be transferred
to accomplish the purchase. Motion carried unanimously. (4-0)
SPRINKLING BAN The Public Works Supervisor reported that the
sprinkling ban has been successful; he noted the pumps
. have stopped running on a continual basis
LAKE JOHANNA DAM Council was advised by Raddatz that the structure which
exists as a dam between Lake Johanna and Little Lake
Johanna has some deterioration; it was Raddatz's opinion that the extent of
deterioration does not warrant replacement at this time.
Council discussed if this was the Village's responsibility or Rice Creek
Watershed.

MEMORANDUM
. --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: June 26, 1987
To: Mayor and Council
From: Patricia J. Morrison, Clerk Administrator
Re: Agenda Items
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Semaphore; County Road E and Pinetree Drive: We have received request
from MSI and Norwest for this semaphore, together with a statement from
Woodbridge Properties stating they do not oppose the semaphore. As noted
in your packet, MSI had requested placement of a semaphore July of last
year. A report from Frank Herbst and Bob Raddatz are enclosed for your
information.
5. Water Main Break, Skiles Lane: A letter was received from Brad
Lemberg, 1401 Skiles Lane, requesting that the City pay for costs of a
recent watermain break. A memo from Bob Raddatz is enclosed for your
consideration.
6. Completion of Exterior Surfaces: We receive, now and then, calls from
residents concerned with the appearance of their neighbor's property. For
yards, our ordinance on noxious weeds covers some of these concerns;
. however, for construction, there is presently little we can do once a
building permit is issued, i.e., there is not a time limit for completion
as long as they continue to work on the building. Mayor Woodburn has
suggested consideration be given to adoption of an ordinance which would
address a time limit for completion of the exterior of a building. I
believe other cities in the Metro area have such an ordinance (Orlyn is
reviewing), and also refers to a definition of finished material
acceptable.
Debris in a yard is somewhat more difficult to review, due, in part, to
definition. (There may be resident present to discuss the property at
1415 Arden Oaks Drive.)
7. Realianment of County Road I: Barry Peters, of SEH, will be present
to discuss this matter and the effects on Arden Hills. The County is
trying to eliminate the two 90 degree turns which are present between
Hamline and Lexington. It is my understanding the County prefers Alt. 1.
Costs for the project are not yet available. The County is requesting
Arden Hills' input as to our preference of the alternatives offered. I
have asked Barry to address the impact, if any, there could be on MSA, as
Arden Hills has designated Hamline as an MSA street (through the Arsenal).
8. Pot 0 Gold Binao: The applicant was to have presented their landscape
and lighting plan to Orlyn for review and recommendation to the Council by
June, 1987 (Council meeting of 12/8/86). As of 6/25, Orlyn had not
. received it; Mr. Adams visited our office on 6/24 and was advised this
matter was on the 6/29 agenda (as he knew it would be from several
previous conversations with. him). For your information, I have also
-------.-..--
-. ...
enclosed a copy of a certified letter from LaFry Squires to Louis Walsh
. relative to matters which need to be accomplished yet. I discussed these
items with Mr. Adams on 6/26.
9. Parks Director Report: John will be present to discuss his requests;
the park development plans and summer program plans have been discussed
and approved by the Parks and Recreation Committee.
10. Public Works Supervisor Report:
A. We have received concerns about safety, due to parking, during our
summer events at Floral. Bob will discuss this, as well as Public
Safety/Works Committee recommendations. You may wish to get John's
thoughts on this also.
B. The water meter discrepancy was referred from the Council to the
Public Safety/Works Committee for their recommendation for a general
policy.
C. Chipper..as noted in Bob Raddatz' memo, purchase of a chipper had
been scheduled for 1988; Bob is recommending purchase of a used
chipper this year, with funding being accomplished through budgeted
monies not used for Public Works summer help.
11. Landscape Inspection - Northwoods: Mr. Oelke is submitting his
initial landscape report for Northwoods, and is recommending acceptance of
. the plan, subject to correction of the items he lists. Cathy will have
the plan available Monday night.
12. Rehabilitation Loan Pro~ram: This is a residential rehabilitation
loan program for low income homeowners, which the City has participated in
in the past. A qualifications sUmmary is enclosed.
13. Police Protection Contract: The enclosed amended contract is a
product of the Mayor's conversation with Commander Bergeron to discuss the
Council's previous concerns. Exhibit "A", the summary 1988 budget, is
attached; however, Exhibit "B", a listing of equipment, has not been
prepared by the Department yet, They will do this upon completion of the
process of equipping the new squad, which is scheduled to be accomplished
within a week.
14. Don Lamb's Report: Don will be "cashing" a CD, with TCF, for
approximately $257,200, These funds will be needed for the sizable
(Frattalone and Houle statements) list of claims being submitted for your
approval on the 29th.

,. MINUTES OF THE REGULAR PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
Wednesday, July I, 1987, 7:30 p.m. - Village Hall
CALL TO ORDER Pursuant to due call and ~otice thereof, Chairman
Robert Curtis called the. meeting to order at 7:30 p.m.
. ROLL CALL
Present: Chairman Robert Curtis, Thomas Babcook, Peter Martin,
Calvin Meury, Rick Savage, Dorothy Zehm and Paul
Malone.
Absent: Maurice Johnson, Scott Petersen and Gary Thorn.
Also Present: Councilmember Jeanne Winiecki, Planner Orlyn Miller and
Deputy Clerk Catherine Iago.
APPROVE MINUTES Zehm moved, seconded by Martin, that the Minutes of the
June 3, 1987, Planning Commission meeting be approved
as submitted. Motion carried. (Zehm, Martin, Curtis, Babcook, Meury, Malone
voting in favor; Savage abstained) (6~0-1)
CASE #87-20; MINOR Planner Miller reviewed his report of 6/25/87,
SUBD; 3731 NEW explaining the applicants are proposing to split a
BRIGHTON RD, MILTON ISO-foot by 62.5-foot parcel from Lot A and consolidate
it with Lot B (as per drawing attached to report). The
purpose is to "even-up" the rear lot line of the developed lot which fronts on
New Brighton Road.
The Planner briefly outlined the background of how the land was assembled; most
of the land lies west of the base of the slope along the west side of New
Brighton Road. The subject parcel projects eastward toward the existing
Single-family lots and the proposed lot split/consolidation is apparently
. intended to create a more uniform property line at the rear of the single
family lots. He stated that the proposed subdivision enlarges an existing
single family lot by more than 9,000 sq. ft., resulting in a lot 62.5 feet wide
and 430 ft. deep; this is comparable to some other lots in the area. No
variances are required.
Miller pointed out that although the lots fronting on New Brighton Road are
very deep, opportunity for resubdivision is remote because of fragmented
ownership, the topography and lack of access. He stated that establishing the
rear lot lines of the single family homes at the base of the slope is
considered desirable and recommended approval contingent/upon the applicant
submitting an acceptable survey to the City for administrative review and
approval.'
James and Carol Milton, applicants were present to answer any questions.
Member Martin questioned if Lot B, being created, complied with current minimum
lot width requirements.
Planner advised that the Lot B would be below minimum width; it is being
attached to Lot A which is a lot of record. He commented that with the existing
development, setbacks and established lot lines, it would be hard to do any
"trading" to get the standard lot widths; the area of those lots is 3 or 4
times greater than the minimum requirements in this area. Miller stated that
the width is established on a lot of record, therefore, it was his opinion a
. variance situation is not being created.

CASE #87-20 (Cont'd) Moved by Meury, seconded by, Savage, that the Commission
recommend to Council approval of Case #87-20, Lot Split
and Consolidation of property at 3731 New Brighton Road, James & Carol Milton, .
conditioned upon the applicants submission to the City of a surveyor other
recordable document acceptable to the Ramsey County Recorder for administrative
review and approval. Motion carried unanimously. (7-0)
CASE #87-21; SITE Planner Miller reviewed his memorandum of June 25th and
COVERAGE VARIANCE; referred Commission members to an excerpt from the
1275 RED FOX ROAD, Board of Appeals meeting of 6/30/87; he noted the Board
EVEREST II vote was split, two voting in favor and two opposed. He
outlined the reasons stated by the Board for each vote.
Miller explained the applicant is proposing to enlarge the existing parking lot
to provide 31 additional spaces, to accommodate the building tenant's (Deluxe
Check) parking demand. The proposed expansion will result in total site
coverage of 79.5 percent (maximum permitted in the I-2 District is 75 percent);
therefore, a 4.5 percent variance is required.
The Planner briefly explained the modification of the site plan that provided a
50-foot setback which could eventually accommodate future extension of
Northwoods Drive. He noted that the site currently meets all setback
requirements and the applicant has stated the existing landscape materials will
be relocated in the narrower right-of-way.
As discussed at the Board of Appeals meeting, and given as a basis for two
members recommending denial of the variance request; Miller stated that it is
difficult to identify any hardship related to the site upon which to base the .
approval of the coverage variance. The additional parking is being proposed to
accommodate the relatively high parking demands of an established use. Miller
noted that if a recommendation for approval is given, it should be conditioned
upon restoration of the existing landscaping as shown on the plan submitted.
Chairman Curtis asked if the land use was currently at the 75 percent maximum
coverage permitted.
The Planner advised that is what his calculations show.
Robin Davidson, representative from Nielsen Associates, gave a brief background
of the facility and it's use; he stated that growth expectations for the
property have far exceeded initial estimates and noted the following reasons
for the requested variance:
- The request would not cause negative impact on the area; may actually
enhance the site and fulfill the parking needs of the current tenant.
- The landscaping would be preserved and relocated on the site.
- There is currently a large open space on the north of the building,
owned by the State of Minnesota, and it is his opinion the site will
still have the appearance green space because of the relocation of
the current landscaping.
- The basis for hardship, in his opinion, is the unusually high parking
required for the tenant.

~ Minutes of the Regular Planning Commission Meeting, July 1, 1987
Page 3
CASE #87-21 (Cont'd) Chairman Curtis questioned if this will alleviate the
. parking problem or if the situation will come up again.
Davidson advised that the tenant is currently operating with one shift; his
opinion is that the tenant would begin a second shift rather than request
further expansion of the parking area.
Curtis asked if the applicant had discussed the ~roposed.expansio~ with the
Opus development adjacent to this property; Davidson adv1sed he d1d not.
The Planner noted that the current parking lot setback exceeds the minimum
required for side yard; a hearing is not required and the applicant need not
advise or discuss the requested variance with Opus.
Meury questioned if the expansion of the parking lot and increased site
coverage would create drainage problems.
Miller stated that the building is directly adjacent to a holding pond which
has proven to be adequate for drainage purposes; his ~pinion is that 4.5
percent should not have significant impact on the dra1nage.
Commission discussed how many parking spaces the 4.5 perc~nt c~verage inc:ease
would provide the applicant; Miller noted that in recheck1ng h1s cal:ulat10ns
the applicant is slightly over 73 percent coverage currently. He ~dv1sed.that
the problem is functional; in order to get driveways and usable c1rculat10n a 2
percent variance may not be functional.
. Member Malone stated he recalls concern expressed by Planning Commission and
Council when this matter was before them a few years ago relative to the amount
of parking in front of the building; there was an attempt to require the
applicant to provide more green space. Malone questioned if the applicant had
attempted to purchase any of the available land to the rear of the building for
parking expansion; he noted that the area proposed this evening for expansion
would be clearly visible from the front of the building.
Davidson explained that consideration was given to purchasing land in the rear
of the building; however, the tenant requested they not explore that aspect
beyond consideration.
There was discussion relative to an additional shift of employees causing
parking problems; had the applicant considered busing employees from the Deluxe
facility in Shoreview; had the applicant considered expanding to the 75 percent
coverage and rearranging the current parking area.
Davidson explained that the second shift of employees would not cause parking
problems; the company has addressed that issue in several of it's facilities.
He noted that all the Deluxe facilities use their parking to capacity.
Davidson stated that there was consideration given to rearrangement of the
parking lot; however, he was not able to come up with a design that would work
to alleviate the problem.
Miller commented that to stay within the 75 percent coverage the 31 spaces
. would be reduced by one-third.

CASE 1187-21 (Cont'd) Commission discussed w~th 'Davidson the Board of Appeals
concerns; Davidson advised that he had met with them at .
the site on 6/30/87. He noted that the width limitations of the right-of-way
would preclude a large berm in that area. He is proposing to relocate the
current landscaping onto this 5 ft. wide area; it is his opinion this
relocation will create adequate screening because of the clustering of the
plantings. Davidson advised he had not considered a brick wall due to the fact
it would not be cost effective; relocation of the landscaping will be a
substantial investment. He discussed the concerns relative to the access road
with the Chairperson Barbara Piotrowski earlier today; it was his opinion he
cleared up the matter with her in the discussion.
Member Zehm advised it was her opinion that recommending approval would be
precedent setting and similar cas~s had been denied in the past; Curtis agreed.
Member Meury stated that he did not see any problem with recommending approval.
Member Martin expressed concern relative to the loss of green space; his
opinion is that the justification related by the applicant has been purely
economical; he also agreed with Zehm that it would be precedent setting.
Member Malone commented that recommending approval would provide a short term
solution to a long term problem; if tenant continues the growth rate this
coverage variance will not be sufficient.
There was discussion relative to the applicant pursuing a smaller percentage
variance and considering rearrangement of the parking lot area. .
Davidson asked if the Commission members would prefer a parking ramp as a
solution to the problem.
The Planner commented that additional building coverage would be feasible,
without a variance; the possibility would have to be examined, but that type of
expansion would not impact open space.
Moved by Curtis, seconded by Meury, that Commission
recommend to Council denial of Case #87-21, Site Coverage Variance at 1275 Red
Fox Road, Everest II, based on the fact there is no identifiable hardship.
Motion carried. (Curtis, Martin, Savage, Zehm voting in favor; Meury and
Babcook opposed; Malone abstained) (4-2-1)
Moved by Zehm, seconded by Martin, that Commission
recommends the applicant increase parking, if so desired, up to the 75 percent
maximum coverage; conditioned upon the expansion being added at the rear of the
building (east side rear of site) in a manner generally in accordance with the
plan submitted. Motion carried. (Zehm, Martin, Curtis, Babcook, Meury, Savage
voting in favor; Malone abstained) (6-0-1)
CASE #87-22; AMENDED Planner Miller reviewed his memorandum of June 26th;
SITE PLAN, RED FOX & explaining the applicant's plan to convert the Town
LEXINGTON, PERKINS/ Crier restaurant to a Perkins restaurant. The
CONSTRUCTION 70 conversion includes: interior remodeling, construction
of additions for a new entrance, a solarium dining .
area, and food storage facilities and an exterior face-lift. Miller stated
expansion of the parking lot is also proposed.
...
Minutes of the Regular Planning Commission Meeting, July 1, 1987
Page 5
CASE#87-22 (Cont'd) Miller explained the additions to the east and west
. side will encroach upon existing driveways. He stated
the east driveway will be narrowed to 23 feet, which is considered adequate;
the west addition will cause the elimination of approximately 13 parking spaces
to provide adequate circulation space. The 27-foot-wide driveway is considered
adequate. He recommended that the driveway be posted as a no parking area to
prevent potential congestion and also curving the driveway, to separate and
protect the parking spaces near the southwest corner of the site, would be
desirable. To replace lost parking spaces and to provide for expanded seating
capacity, addition parking spaces are proposed at the rear (north) of the site.
Parking requirements are 1 space per 3 seats; this plan provides a parking
ratio of 1 space per 2.2 seats.
The Planner advised that the expansio~ of the parking area eliminates some
existing landscaping and he recommends a landscape plan be submitted which will
provide landscaping comparable to that which exists on the site. Where
feasible, relocation of existing trees is recommended.
Miller commented that the trash storage area will be moved to the southwest
corner of the building; he suggested a trash storage enclosure plan should be
submitted by the applicant.
No signage is shown on the site plan submitted by the applicant; it was the
Planner's assumption that the existing pylon sign will be replaced with a
Perkins sign. Miller noted that the applicant should be reminded that all
signage, including flags, must conform to the City's sign ordinance and will
. require administrative review for ordinance compliance.
In summary, the Planner advised that the proposed building and parking
expansion comply with ordinance requirements regarding setbacks and site
coverage; he also noted that based. upon a seating capacity of 165 persons, the
parking spaces proposed exceed the ordinance requirement for restaurant
parking. He recommended approval of the site and building plans should be
condition upon applicant's submission of an acceptable plan for restoring the
site landscaping and complete enclosure of the trash storage area.
Tom Koury, owner of the Town Crier, was present to explain that the ownership
of the restaurant would not be changed; the company has changed to a Perkins
franchise. He displayed an artists rendering of the building with the proposed
remodeling and submitted the plans for landscaping and trash storage enclosure
for review by the Commission.
Commission questioned the size and placement of the sign and flag for the
restaurant.
Koury advised that the sign would probably be left at it's present location and
the flag would be near the sign. He stated the sign company he has retained
stated they have researched the current requirements and should have no problem
complying with those requirements.
Commission questioned if a sign height variance was granted to the Town Crier
restaurant; Miller advised he was not sure if a variance had been granted to
. the Town Crier or the Emerald Inn; he noted he would work with the applicant to
establish the height. He reminded the applicant the flag must comply with
zoning requirements as well.

CASE 1/87 - 22; (Cont'd) The Planner, after bri~fly reviewing the landscape and
trash enclosure plans submitted, stated his opinion was .
that both are adequate.
Moved by Martin, seconded by Savage, that Commission
recommend to Council approval of Case #87-22, Amended Site Plan Review for
Perkins restaurant at Red Fox Road and Lexington Avenue, Perkins/Construction
70, conditioned upon the applicant constructing' the trash storage area and
accomplishing the landscaping as proposed in the respective plans submitted
this date. Motion carried unanimously. (7-0)
COUNCIL REPORT Councilmember Winiecki reported on recent Council
actions on items of interest to the Commission.
PRELIM. DISC. The Planner reported tha.t he had been contacted by
REEVES PROPERTY a representative of SISA Homes, regarding the 4.5 acre
SNELLING & HWY 96 parcel of land on the southwest corner of North
Snelling and Highway 96. He explained that in 1985
application was made to rezone this parcel to R-4 for a 48-unit apartment
building: Planning Commission recommended approval, by a split vote, and
Council denied based on the fact the area is identified as an R-3, lower
density district, by the comprehensive plan.
Miller stated the proposal presented contained construction of four 8-unit
buildings, reducing the density to 32 units. These buildings would have
approximately a 100 ft. x 48 ft. building footprint, with an interior
tuck-under garage; owner occupied with amenities in each building (sauna, .
laundry facilities, etc.). The Council suggested R-3 may be acceptable; this
would fall somewhere between the R-3 and R-4 density permitted. He noted that
this proposal would still have to be rezoned to R-4; if this development were
not constructed, the R-4 zoning would remain with tne land.
Commission disclosed the possibility of a Planned Unit Development.
Miller commented that, in his opinion, the PUD approach allows the Commission
and Council to maintain control and place conditions on the development; he
stated the Village Attorney may disagree with this opinion.
After discussion, Commission consensus was that they would favor a Planned Unit
Development approach, with the lessor density as discussed this evening, rather
than a straight rezoning application: also commented that an application for
this parcel should be carefully planned for compatibility with the development
of the adjacent Church property.
ADJOURNMENT Moved by Savage, seconded by Martin, that the meeting
adjourn at 9:05 p.m. Motion carried unanimously. (7-0)
