She stated the trail is very appealing" in its natural state. . . Minutes of the Arden Hills Regular Council Meeting", 5-29-90 Page 3 . TRAIL (Cont' d) Hernan Friesen, 3370 New Brighton Road, ~ressed concern for the safety of small children biking" in the area; stated the asphalt surface will attract motorcycles and sJ1OWl1K)biles.

'l'om Pream, 1886 Grant Road, agreed safety is the mjor concern, especially with children biking" in the area and =ossing" New Brighton Road.

Councilmember Hansen did not favor rerouting" the bike path along New Brighton Road; stated it is an extremely dangerous roadway. She advised that past comrmmity surveys indicate residents place trails as a high priority and have indicated paved surfaces are preferable. Hansen also advised the County has not been cooperative in the past regarding" City requests to reduce the speed limit on New Brighton Road.

Hansen stated the City should mark the trail near dangerous intersections, such as the railroad bridge a=oss New Brighton Road.

Mayor sather recalled that staff was directed at the last meeting to investigate some means to determine which licenses are active or inactive; Attorney Filla and staff were requested to nake recommendations as to how this my be accomplished.

Paul, MN 55108 612/641-0418 FAX: 612/641-1361 June 5, 1990 Village of Arden Hills 1450 West Highway 96 Arden Hills, MN 55112 Attn: Mr. Gary Berger RE: Change Order Request Made by Environet, Inc. for Asbestos Abatement Activity at the KEM Milling Site Delta Project Number: 10-89-385 . Dear Mr. Berger: Delta Environmental Consultants, Inc. (Delta), is enclosing three (3) change order reqnests made by Environet, Inc. for asbestos abatement activity conducted at the KEM Milling site located in Arden Hills, Minnesota. In addition, Delta is providing an evaluation of the requests and recommendations for action on their requests. The following is a brief summary of the requests made by Environet, Inc. Change orders were received by Delta on May 8, 1990. The delay in forwarding this summary to the Village of Arden Hills is a result of requests made by Delta to Environet in support of their changes. To a limited extent this information has been received; however, we still do not have all supporting documents requested and therefore, are providing our evaluation based on what Delta observed at the job site. Environet may have support for their change orders, but we can not evaluate the validity of their requests until support documentation is provided. Item 1: Time and labor involved in delivery and removal of equipment and materials at the beginning and end of each work shift because security of the site had been diminished due to vandalism that had occurred between the time of the pre-bid walk through and the start of work. Environet is requesting $980.00; 28 person hours at $35.00 per hour. Item 2: Removal and' disposal of a 13 linear foot section of pipe insulation that was not identified in the original scope of work. Environet is requesting $170.00; 4 person hours at $35.00 per hour and $30.00 for materials and disposal costs. Item 3: Removal and disposal of one and one half barrels of asbestos-containing plaster and extra boxes of asbestos insulation that appeared on the site after the initial investigation and . beginning of work. This material was not included in the original scope of work as it was not present at the time of project definition. Environet is requesting $430.00; 6 person hours at $35.00 per hour and $220.00 in materials and disposal costs. Practical Solutions to Environmental Concerns ---------- --------- Village of Arden Hills . June 5, 1990 Page 2 The requests made by Environet total $1580.00. In Delta's opinion these charges seem excessive in light of work actually completed in addition to that originally defined and lack of documentation of person hours used by Environet to complete the additional work. A summary of our opinions is presented below. Finally, Mr. Charles Tye, of Environet, Inc., has been notified by Delta with regard to the content of our opinions. Additional negotiation regarding Environet's requests should take place between the Village of Arden Hills and Environet, Inc. Item 1: Delta feels that a portion of Environet's request for this item is valid. Because site conditions had deteriorated due to vandalism and the expense of abatement equipment used by Environet did not justify leaving it unattended for overnight periods, removal of that equipment on a nightly basis was necessary. The seven days requested by Environet is more than was actually necessary to adequately protect their investment. The first and last day of work operations and movement of necessary equipment should be considered part of mobilization and demobilization costs incorporated into Environet's base bid. In addition, the first day of site work was primarily spent in preparing the work areas for removal; very little of the expensive equipment is necessary for this function. Delta recommends that 5 days, at 4 person hours per day at $35.00 per hour be accepted by the Village of Arden Hills. Total cost for this item shonld be $700.00. Item 2: Delta observed that a total of 2 person hours were necessary to accomplish removal and disposal of the 13 foot insulated pipe run, The $30.00 material and disposal charge is . reasonable and fair. The total cost for this item should be $100. Item 3: Environet's request for adjustment of additionallahor and disposal costs for material that appeared on the job site is excessive. Four (4) person hours were observed to have been needed by Environet and a total of 23 bags and 1 barrel of waste were removed from Ihis work area for base bid work and for the additional material removed. Delta is recommending that 4 person hours at $35.00 per hour and material and disposal costs of $33.00 be accepted for this additional work. The total cost for this item should be $173.00. Based on Delta's evaluation of Environet's requests, rather than the $1580.00 initially requested, we are recommending that a total of $973.00 be accepted and approved by the Village of Arden Hills.

Time/Labor involved in delivering and removlng all . equipment and loose materials at the beginning and end of each work day (respectivelY) due to lack of an unvandalized secured storage area. Both at the pre-bid meeting and the pre-construction meeting on 4/12/90 with the City of Arden Hills, both Mr. George Plaza and myself were told a secured garage/storage area would be available for our use during the periOd of performance. HoV/ever on Monday Apri 1. 16 th, the first day of the pro j ect, the intended storage area had been heavi ly vandalized, the doors, V/indows, and window frames having been removed the previous week end. This caused an extra four man hours of work per day loading, unloading and driving the equipment and materials to and from our facility in Edina for each of the seven days. Twenty eight man hours times $35.00 per man hour equals $980.00. If you should have ariy questions please call me at 944-9775.

Resj::a:tiull y sulmittai, C1Jair crnnis Prd:st Minutes of the Arden Hills Regular Council Meeting, August 29, 1988 P;ige 4 RExn! G PLAI\T (Contld) Hansen moved, seconded by Winiecki, that Council authorize the expenditure of $2,500 for Attorney Lynden to draft an odor ordinance and utilize expertise of consultants he deems necessary. Motion carried unanimously. (5-0) . Council was of the consensus a Land Use Plan may not be necessary and in the event it would be deemed necessary the Planning Consultant should be authorized to utilize resources and expertise of other consultants as needed. PLANNING STUDY; Coullcil was referred to a memorandum from the Clerk 1-694/1-3%1 Administrator Berger dated 8-26-88 and Planner Berglyls report dated 8-25-88 relative to the Land Study recon@endations at the N.E, intersection of 1-694/r-35W. Dennis Probst, Chairman of the Planning Commission Task Force, was present and reviewed the objectives and recommendations submitted to Council at their Regular Heeting held 7-11-88. He requested Council consideration and action relative to the recommendations outlined in the Clerk Administrator's memorandum, as follows: -Council direct staff and the Planning Commission to initiate the Rezoning of the Round Lake Site in order to insure the type of development that is compatible to what has occured in the past and consistent with the community's vision for the future. -Council direct staff to evaluate various financial scenarios and outcomes including market values of potential development; the City's potential risk in public participation, TIF, Bonding for debt and other methods for financing public improvements. -Council participate ina worksession with staff, Planning Commission Task Force, and a financial consultant in order to evaluate alternatives and determine a course of action. Clerk Administrator Berger referred Council to a report from James Casserly, Financial Consultant, which illustrates the amount of major public improvements that can be supported by each I million dollars of tax increment. The report also sho",Ted how the City can minimize its risk factor in the development. Berger suggested that Casserly be irrvited to attend a future Council meeting to discuss . the financial services he could provide in conjunction with the Round Lake development. Berger recommended the Village should proceed very carefully and conservatively; initiation of the rezoning and the staff continuing to evaluate the financial senarios would provide a good overview as to which direction to pursue. There was discussion relative to the pros and cons of actively pursuing development in this area, the feasibility of development at this location; the legality of imposi.ng a moritorium for a short time period, and establishing a Community Development Committee. Winiecki moved, seconded by Sather, that Counci.l initiate the Rezoning of the entire parcel of land outlined in the Land Use Study of the N. E. quadrant of 1-694/r-3SW and begin establishment of an economic development district. Motion carried unanimously. (5-0) Mayor woodburn suggested if Planner Bergly had any further recommendations relative to the Rezoning he should fcrward them to Council at a future date. Ihniecki moved, seconded by Peck, that Council establish a Community Development Commission, including but not limited to members of the staff, planning commission task force, Treasurer Green, and other persons who could lend expertise _to the commission, either by appointment or volunteer, and, furthe.r, that Hr, Casserly be present to outline recommendations for the types of financing available. Motion carried. (Winiecki, Peck, Hansen and Sather voting in favor; Woodburn opposed) (4-1) Council questioned if the Committee should be comprised at this time. Winiecki clarified the intent of the motion was not to initiate the commission work, only to inform persons who would be interested and involved of the . recommendations and alternatives, She commented it could be in a special worksession with Council present. There ..'as discussion relative to inviting Casserly and other financial consultants to a future meeting.
