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

C. G. REIN COMPANY
Council was referred to Planner's memorandum, 4-29-87.
relative to the requested rezoning of a 2.5-acre parcel
north'of St. Paul Metalcraft on Lexington Avenue.
The Planner stated that the applicant is planning to construct a facility that
will be smaller in scale but similar to Shannon Square on Lexington Avenue.
The Comprehensive Plan designates this area as industrial and the site is
~ currently zoned 1-2, a district which does not permit retail uses.
Council was advised the Planning Commission held a hearing. at which time there
was no public response. Miller referred Council to the Planning Commission
minutes (5/6/87), recommending approval. Commission members discussed the
following items in support of the proposed rezoning: 1. Nature of new
development along Lexington Avenue. both in Arden Hills and Shoreview, is
retail oriented, 2. The B-2 uses which already exist at Red Fox Road and
Lexington, and 3. The less desirable uses which are permitted under 1-2.
Minutes of the RegUl~uncil Meeting, May 11, 1987~
Page 2
C.G. REIN (CONT'D) Miller also noted the following items opposing the
proposed rezoning: 1. Increased traffic along Lexington
Ave., 2. Commercial strip appearance. and 3. Some undesirable uses permitted in
the B-2 district. Miller advised that some of the less desirable uses in the
B-2 district were permitted by special use permit, allowing some control to be
maintained by the Village. and reminded Council that site plan review would be .
required.
The Planner stated the Planning Commission had recommended approval of the
rezoning. based on the fact that the proposed rezoning would not be
incompatible with other development along Lexington Avenue.
William Sikora, architect for C. G. Rein. was present and reviewed the
comprehensive plan statement submitted with the application. He advised the
area can support development of this nature and there would be a combination of
service/small retail use in the proposed facility.
Councilmember Hansen asked Sikora for information which supported the need for
this type of facility.
Dennis Cavanaugh. President of C. G. Rein, stated the Arden Plaza Shopping
Center is owned and managed by C. G. Rein and has had a 2% vacancy rate over
the last 14 years. He further stated that the Shannon Square facility, on
Lexington Avenue. is 70% occupied, and it is his opinion there is a demand for
this type of facility.
Sikora stated that there are no gasoline pumps proposed for this facility, the
stores would be more service oriented. ~
Council also discussed the difference between this rezoning request and the
proposed rezoning for Hamline Avenue and Highway 96; noted this site is not
directly adjacent to residential zoning and the location on Lexington Ave is
not incompatible with the surrounding industrial zoning.
Miller commented that Planning Commission members had discussed the increased
traffic along Lexington Avenue and he noted that this type of facility will
generate more traffic, however, traffic would be distributed throughout the day
having less impact than concentration at peak hours.
Council discussed the definitions of fast-food restaurants versus drive-in
business. the separation requirement and also, the possible need for further
.
definition of these uses in the zoning ordinance.
Sather moved, seconded by Peck, that Council approve
Case No. 87-14, Rezoning from 1-2 to B-2. the Lexington Avenue Colestock site.
North of Grey Fox Road. C. G. Rein Company. Motion carried unanimously. (5-0)
CASE NO. 87-11;
MINOR SUBD./VAR.
TRA!1M, OAK AVENUE
Council was referred to Planner's report 4-10-87.
Planning Commission minutes of 5-6-87, and Board of
Appeals minutes 4-23-87.
.
The Planner explained the subject property is an odd-shaped parcel
approximately 1.1 acres in area. He noted that although the parcel exceeds area
requirements, the front lot line width is only 75 ft. and a width variance of
20 feet is being requested in conjunction with the minor subdivision.
Miller explained the primary issue with this proposal is the impact of
development of the lot on adjacent property. The house to the south has an
adequate setback and is partially screened by mature shrubs along the shared
property line. He identified the building envelope and the steepness of the
slope on the front portion on the lot. He indicated the lot will require
special treatment to achieve an acceptable driveway grade, and the applicant is
working on a house plan which includes a tuck-under garage to reduce the
driveway slope.
Miller reviewed the Planning commission recommendation for approval, subject to
the establishment of a minimum setback to be determined by the adjacent homes.
Hansen moved, seconded by Winiecki, that Council
approve Case No. 87-11, Minor Subdivision and Lot Width Variance, Lot 1, Block .
4 of Shady Oaks Addition. based on the large lot area compensating for the
narrow frontage, the flexible building envelope that exists on the proposed
lot, and there would be no negative impact on the adjacent properties;
furthermore, approval is subject to the front setback line of the proposed home
not exceeding the front setback line of the two adjacent homes (the line drawn
between the two adjacent homes at their closest point to their front). Motion
carried unanimously. (5-0)

CASE NO. 87-12:
FRONT SETBACK
VAR.. ANDERSON
Council was referred to Planner's report (4-10-87),
Planning Commission minutes (5-6-87) and Board of
Appeals minutes (4-23-87).
Miller reviewed the background of the Minor Subdivision of this parcel,
approved by Council in December 1986. The parcel does not have public street
~ frontage and is accessed by private easement.
The Planner identified the steep slope at the rear of the Anderson lot and
noted that if the applicant maintains the 40 ft. front setback, the rear of the
proposed house will be at the base of the slope. The applicant haa applied for
a 20 ft. variance, to avoid drainage problems and to create a more usable rear
yard.
Council was referred to a letter from Engineer Barry Peters (4-22-87), stating
he has reviewed the request and is comfortable with the variance as proposed.
Peters asked the Planner to relate to the Council that the letter should not be
considered as a recommendation for or against approval of the requested
variance.
Miller explained that the property is very isolated from Lake Johanna Blvd. and
the two adjacent homes south of the parcel are setback approximately 10-15 ft.
from the access easement, which already establishes a lesser setback.
Futhermore, Miller advised that at the time Council approved the subdivision of
these two parcels, he had commented that the lots would be buildable without
variances, however, the applicant has chosen to request the variance to create
a more usable rear yard and to cause less disruption to the rear slope of the
property.
.
Council discussed if the property owners to the south of the parcel Would be
affected by drainage problems.
Clerk Aministrator adVised that any improvements of the access easement must be
approved by the Engineer.
Planner commented that approval of the requested variance would not relieve the
property owner of his responsibility not to create further drainage problems,
as stipulated in the conditions of approval of the ~inor subdivision.
There was discussion relative to construction of the home on the parcel without
the requested variance.
Mark Anderson, applicant. advised that an architect designed the home so that
it would not create further drainage problems for the adjacent properties to
the south. Anderson advised he is working with the Barry Peters on the
improvement of the access easement and has discussed the creation of a culvert
to divert water from the southerly lots. He noted that all the conditions
stipulated in the minor subdivision approval have been accomplished, with the
exception of the access easement improvement.
.
Moved by Hansen, seconded by Sather, that Council
approve Case No. 87-12: Front Setback Variance, on the basis of the hardship
imposed by the steep rear slope of the land, the parcel is located on a private
roadway that is isolated from the main street, and that other homes south of
this site are not in compliance with current setback requirements. Motion
carried. (Hansen, Sather, Peck, Winiecki voting in favor: Woodburn opposed)
(4-1)
CASE NO. 87-15:
SITE PLAN REVIEW
& VAR, ALPO FOODS
Planner Miller reviewed his report of 4-29-87, and
referred Council to Planning Commission minutes of
5-6-87.
The Planner stated the lot is currently zoned I-I and adjacent to a residential
development, therefore, a 75 ~t. setback is required. Since the Planning
Commission meeting he had discovered a zoning map, which was in effect prior to
the-State releasing the land proposed for Highway 51, that shows the boundary
line for the zoning district along the rear property line for Alpo Pet Foods.
After discussion with the Zoning Administrator, it was determined that Alpo had
not acquired any of the land released by the State and, therefore a variance
. was necessary.
Miller pointed out that since the variance was identified after the Board of
Appeals held their meeting, Council may consider referring the variance to the
Board of Appeals for review and recommendation back to Council.
t'oib"" .:+

liquid tallow. The applicant had advised Miller that the

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

Herbst and they will try to minimize traffic problems during the 7 day period.
.
KEITHSON DRIVE - All the utilities are in place, as well as gravel and
curb and gutter. The blacktop will be completed sometime in August. Raddatz has
had discussions with a representative from the State Hwy. Dept., regarding the
right hand turn lane onto Hwy. 96. Council discussed the issuance of an
occupancy permit before a hardtop surface is placed on Keithson. Raddatz stated
there is 2 ft. of sand under the road and with the gravel there may not be
problems (potholes, etc.) Sather questioned that the road would be under
Village jurisdiction as it is being constructed by the developer. Council
requested, the Clerk Administrator review past policy on the issuance of
occupancy permits prior to hardtop surfaces in residential areas.
WATER TOWER - There are six sections of the water tower now in place.
The bowl section will be welded after two inspections have been made. The
inspections are done by two different persons, with an x-ray machine. The
condensation ceiling is also being installed. The tower will be 141 ft. to the
1,000,000 gallon mark; 150 ft. .to the top. When the tower is completed, the
Village will landscape and plant tress around the base; evergreens, hardwoods
and sod. The project, thus far, is on schedule. Councilmember Winiecki asked if
the landscaping removed from the Lift Station #10 could be replanted at the
water tower. Raddatz advised personnel has moved some plantings and will
continue as both projects progress. '
MUD JACKING. CURBS - The mud jacking is completed. The work will be
checked in the fall to determine if it has stayed in place.
.
REPLACEMENT OF ALARM BOARD - The transistors on the circuit board that
control the pumps and ala~ for the lift stations were damaged by a power
surge. A proper signal from the tower was not received and caused the tower to
flood; the pumps would not shut down. Raddatz replaced the board with a spare
and repaired the damaged board.
PAVEMENT MGMT. PLAN Council was referred to Raddatz's memorandum, 5-7-87,
requesting authorization for SEH and Raddatz to begin
the Pavement Management study. He adVised that $10,000.00 had been budgeted in
the Street portion of the budget, under Engineering Fees, for this project.
Council requested that SEH compile a cost breakdown of project project costs
for use in compiling the 1988 budget.
Sather moved, seconded by Peck, that Council authorize
the Public Works Supervisor and Short Elliot'Hendrickson to begin the Pavement
Management Study. Motion carried unanimously. (5-0)
LIC & PERMIT FEES Council was referred to Finance Committee minutes of
April 23rd, relative to the subcommittee
recommendations for increasing license and permit fees. The Committee had
recommended that the fees be reviewed every two years. A survey of five
surrounding communities was completed, in an effort to maintain equity, and
also the Committee determined the fees should more closely reflect the costs of
regulation and administration of the licenses and permits.
.
Councilmember Winiecki suggested the permit fee for the rendering plant be
increased from $600 to $630, to cover the cost of inspection of the plant.
Mayor Woodburn noted that the General Contractors, Excavators, Plumbing and
Contractors license fees would require an Ordinarice amendment; suggested the
Attorney be requested to draft the amendment.

Page 6
FEES (CONT'D) Councilmember Sather questioned the fees for restaurant
and cafe licenses, as there are not health inspections
provided. The Clerk Administrator advised that the fee covers the
administrative costs for issuing the license; when a health complaint is
received by the Village, the appropriate State agency is called for an
inspection and may request Dr. Dunn, our health inspector, also inspect the .
premises.
Councilmember Peck commented that the proposed increases in the contractors and
rubbish haulers licenses will more than likely be passed onto the residents of
the Village. He questioned why the dog licenses were not issued on a life-time
basis.
Mayor Woodburn explained that a rabies vaccination is required every two years
and proof of vaccination must be shown when renewing the dog license.
Moved by Hansen, seconded by Woodburn, that Council
approve the proposed permit and license fee increases, excluding the
Excavators, Plumbers and Contractors, as outlined in the Finance Committee
minutes qf 4-23-87.
Winiecki moved, seconded by Peck, that the motion be
amended to include the Rendering Plant permit fee increase from $600.00 to
$630.00, to cover inspection costs.
Amendment to motion carried. (5-0)

.
Council requested the Clerk Administrator contact the Attorney to determine if
the Rendering Plant fee increase requires an Ordinance amendment.

concurred with her suggestion to request the Attorney
to draft an Ordinance revision to include licensing of General Contractors,
Excavators and Plumbers; she offered to work with Lynden to draft the revision
for the next regular Council meeting.
Council commented that Plumbers and Electricians are licensed by the State and
would be excluded.

the Clerk Administrator and Attorney to review current fees and draft an
Ordinance revision relative to General Contractors, Excavators, Plumbers,
Heating Contractors, and Rubbish Haulers licenses. Motion carried. (5-0)

expected to cover costs through 1989.
Council discussed the charges for sewer utility to non-profit organizations.
Morrison advised the Attorney informed her the Village cannot charge a higher
fee to non-profit organizations nor a lower fee.
Council questioned the formula for commercial accounts and the reference to
sewer utility rate increases providing a "minimal amount of cushion".

rcommendations of the Finance Committee and requested a representative of the
Committee be present at the next regular Council meeting of May 26th.

charge to persons connected with the operation of the Village; she noted the
fees reflect what metro area communities are charging for these services.
