MINUl'ES OF THE ARDEN HILlS COUNCIL IDRKSESSION
MONDAY, AUGUST 20, 1990, 5:00 P.M. - CITY HALL
. CALL 'IO ORDER Pursuant to due call arrl notice thereof, Council1nernber
Growe called the meeting to order at 5:00 p.m.
ROLL CALL The roll being called the following mernbers were present:
CollllCiJrnembers JoArm Growe, Paul Malone arrl Thomas
Mahowald. Also present: Engineer Terry Maurer, Attorney Jerry Filla, Public Works
SUpervisor Dan Winkel, Clerk Administrator Gary Berger arrl Deputy Clerk Catherine
Iago.
WATER TOWER Engineer Maurer reviewed the "rough draft" of the water
STUDY Tower study. He outlined the following tllree areas of the
study; the booster puIlping station, long term plans for
the Arsenal property arrl deficiencies in the distribution system.
Maurer stated the system appears to be sufficient to meet the =ent needs of
the city. He explained he had researched the best location for installation of a
booster puIlping station arrl noted locations along County Road E that would best
serve the existing system.
Maurer explained the =ent water utility system would not serve the needs of
the Arsenal property, in the event that larrl is developed. He advised a separate
water pipe along Harnline Avenue from Roseville to the Arsenal would have to be
installed to service the area.
. The Engineer reviewed the minor deficiencies in the existing system which are
located near Mounds view School arrl in the Gateway Business District. He stated
flowage problems were identified in these areas arrl ".:wised the problems are easy
to co=ect.
Maurer estimated the cost to upgrade the =ent system would be $80,000.00;
estimated the booster station installation at $130,000.00.
The Engineer stated he will fonnalize the rough draft of the study within the
next two weeks arrl suhnit the doct.nnel1t to council for review arrl recommendation.
Council thanked Maurer for his presentation.
PROP'D CC>>IBINATION; CollllCil was referred to a letter from Attorney Filla
BOARD OF M!PFAIS/ dated 1-26-90, relative to combining the duties of the
PIlINNING COMMISSION Board of Appeals arrl Planning Commission.
Filla reported on a survey he conducted with surrounding communities to detennine
if they utilize a separate body to perfom the duties of the Board of Appeals;
White Bear Lake is the only city which has a separate Board of Appeals, the
majority of communities delegate the Board's statutory duties to the Planning
Planning Commission.
The Attorney stated it may be more efficient to utilize the Planning Commission
for both functions, rather than separate bodies, based on: the number re::[Uests
. =ently suhnitted, the number of meetings required to review applications in a
timely manner, staff support time required for Board agendas, arrl duplication of
staff time when matters are presented to both bodies for review.
Filla stated, the all mernber of the Planning Commission may serve as the Board or
a subcommittee may be designated.
;

. BOARD (Cont'd) Colll1Cilmember Malone noted the Board of Appeals meets at
the site of the application; suggested a subccnmnittee of
the Plarming Commission be designated, continue to meet in the field and report
back to Commission at the regular meeting.
In discussion, Council con=ed that all Plarming Commission members should view
development sites prior to consideration of planning applications.
The Clerk Administrator and Deputy Clerk agreed it would be more efficient to
have the all members of the Planning Connnission serve as the Board of Appeals.
Berger and Iago also reconnnended the number of Planning Commission member be
reduced to seven (7); it appears members have a tendency to be absent fram
meetings with a larger number group. Iago reconnnended a policy manual be adopted
by Planning Commission which specifies such items as: all members should view
development sites prior to the meeting, only a certain number of excused absences
during the year will be allowed, rules of order, etc.
Council questioned if the Board of Appeals was aware of the consideration to
merge the two bcdies.
Councilmerober GrONe and Deputy Clerk Iago stated they have discussed the matter
with Board of Appeals members and Planning Connnission members.
Council con=ed with staff reconnnendations and directed the Attorney to prepare
. the necessary Ordinance amendment, for consideration at the September 10 Regular
Council Meeting, to combine the duties of the Board of Appeals and Planning
Commission, effective January 1, 1991. It was further agreed that a Policy Manual
will be drafted and adopted in January 1991, and recommendation will be made to
reduce the number of Planning members to seven (7), with no alternates.
Councilmerober GrONe advised she will review attendance records of Plarming
members and any letters of interest to serve on the Commission prior to
suJ:xnitting her recommendation for appointments.
Staff was directed to foIWard information to the Board of Appeals and Planning
Commission regarding the proposed change.
ABBESSMEN!' Council and staff reviewed the recommendations fram the
POLICY Finance Committee relative to the proposed assessment
policy prepared by the City Engineer.
Councilmerobers and Engineer Maurer discussed several items in the Finance
Committee recommendations and concurred on the follONing revisions to the
assessment policy:
1. What Portion of the Cost of Bituminous overlay Should Be Assess-=d: Council
con=ed the Engineer and Public Works SUpervisor will attempt to mirllinize
maintenance overlays and will be responsible for evaluating the need for a
routine maintenance overlay project versus delaying the project and
prograrmning the roadway for reconstruction.

rates in general will be double:1 for standard
irrprovernents unless Council determines unusual/special
circumstances exist.
3. Assessments of Multi-Family Housing: Council concurred that property zoned
R-4, Multiple !Melling District, will be assessed commercial/industrial
property rate.
4. Treabnent of Tax Exempt Property: Council concurre:1 that 100% of the cost of
a street improvement be assesse:1 to tax exerrpt property on a front footage
basis.
5. Collector streets: Council concurre:1 with the Finance Committee
recommendation to eliminate this separate classification.
6. Council concurre:1 that all streets in the city will be assesse:1 under the
adopted policy, regardless of jurisdiction.

water utilities, in connection with new street construction or street
reconstruction, will be assessed 100% and payable over twenty years.
. 8. Council agreed with the proposed method of calculating corner lot
assessments .
Council qt'.'stioned how to determine a sufficient dollar amount to be, budgeted f=
the ptn:p:)S6 of financing the City's portion of the cost of such irrprovement
projects.
Engineer Maurer stated he will calculate the costs in general for city wide
construction, reconstruction, overlay, and sealcoating, and review the MSA
streets, to determine an appropriate assessment rate percentage. He suggested
when the calculations are completed and Council should review the infonnation and
adopt the appropriate percentage rate as part of the assessment policy.
Maurer stated he will prepare the infonnation and revise the assessment policy
for return to Council in September.

PUBLIC HEARING
OAK AVENUE; Mayor Sather opened the meeting at 7:40 p.m. for the
ASSESSMENTS, purpose of a public hearing on the proposed Assessment
IMPRVMl'. ST-89-2 for the oak Avenue storm Sewer Irrprovement No. ST-89-2.
Clerk Administrator Berger verified the publication of the Notice of Hearing in
the New BriMton Bulletin on Wednesday, August 8, 1990, and mailed to affected
property owners the same date.
Berger briefly outlined the history of the storm sewer installation on oak Avenue
and explained the project initially handled by the engineering firm of SElL
Mayor Sather referred to a letter from the =ent city Engineer Terry Maurer and
Engineer Mark Graham, dated 8-21-90, and asked Engineer Graham to review the
dis=epancies found in the assessment roll in tenus of benefitted property and
area to be assessed.
Engineer Graham explained that the firm of SEH prepared the preliminary
assessment roll for this project and the information was presented to the city
Council as part of a feasibility report for the initial public hearing on the .
proposed assessment roll. After review of the area, Graham found some
dis=epancies relating to the property area proposed to be assessed and the
actual area that contrirotes to storm water runoff. He outlined the discrepancies
for Council, as per the letter.
----
,
Minutes of the Arden Hills Regular Council Meeting, 8-27-90
Page 3
. PUB. HRING. (Cont'd) Mayor Sather noted four (4) objections to the proposed
assessment were received from residents and questioned if
the Engineer had found dis=epancies relating to those parcels of land.
The Engineer advised three property a.mers objecting to the proposed assessments
are addressed in the letter; explained dis=epancies were found on eight parcels.
Graham outlined three options for Council consideration prior to adoption of the
assessment roll. The first option would be to adopt the assessment roll as it
=ently exists, without changing any of the assessable areas for any
properties. The second option would be to have the City absorb any reduction in
the assessment, after adjusbnent of the properties listed in his report. He
stated the total reduction in assessments would be $4,880.81. The third option
would be to reassess the rem3.ining properties the total assessable cost, which
would require re-initiating the notice and hearing process as the assessment
rates would be higher than those in the first miled notice.
Councilmernber Mahowald questioned if Graham could determine the rationale for the
former City Engineer's calculations of the properties listed in the assessment
roll.
Graham stated he did not have sufficient infonuation to justify the preparation
of the initial assessment roll nor the opportunity to discuss the area
assessments with the former engineer.
. Attorney Filla asked if the Engineer has addressed the objection from Dr. Roach
regarding his property at 1628 oak Avenue.
Graham explained the assessable area calculated for the Roach property, 0.51
acres, appears to be appropriate; the objection does not specify the assessable
area, only that the property a.mer objects to any assessment for the improvement.
Mayor Sather asked for comments from the floor either in favor of or opposed to
the proposed assessment.
Pete Duddleston, 1587 oak Avenue, questioned if the assessment is proposed to
save a residential driveway. He stated objection to the assessment based on the
fact it appears the project was initiated to co=ect erosion problems for a
single residential driveway.
Attorney Filla explained that the improvement was initiated to co=ect water
drainage problems in this area, which is a public concern, and the drainage
happens to flCM in the area south of a driveway surface and causes erosion. He
stated it is no different than if the stonn water flowed on the city street
across Duddleston's driveway and caused erosion.
Duddleston displayed photographs of water runoff problems on his property and
stated he will request city assistance to eliminate the problem. He explained he
has had discussions with former Mayor Asbbach regarding the construction of the
home and driveway on oak Avenue which is experiencing erosion problems.
. Duddleston reported the Councilmembers at that time had expressed concerns
regarding the construction of the home and driveway at that location.
Attorney Filla commented that due to the time-frame he is unsure as to hCM this
mtter was addressed or whether any agreements were negotiated with the property
a.mer to pay for costs. He noted it would appear residents were aware of stonn
drainage problems in this area at the time of the home construction.

PUB. HRmG. (Cont'd) The Attorney explained this is a public problem, and the .
properties contriJ:::uting to storm water runoff are asked
to participate in the cost of the :iJrgJrovement. Filla point out that a=rding to
the Engineer'S review of Duddleston's property, part of the land drains into the
affected area.
Duddleston advised he will forward a request to the city to assist with the
drainage problem which occurs on his property.
John Rogers, 1574 Oak Avenue, stated he prefers the reduced assessment rate for
his parcel of land.
Doug Vanderheiden, 1655 Oak Avenue, read a statement of objection to the proposed
assessment and stated his opposition to paying to fix a problem caused by a
property owner wilding on low land.
Attorney Filla stated that all persons stating objections to the proposed
assessment must also file a written objection if they wish to retain the right to
appeal the assessment to District Court.
Don and Ginny Erickson, 1611 Oak Avenue, expressed objection to the proposed
assessment and would appreciate Council consideration of the reduced assessment
rate outlined by Engineer Graham. He recalled former Mayor Ashbach stating when
the home was constructed where the driveway erosion =s, the property owner
assumed all responsibility for water runoff. Erickson questioned the original
cost of the assessment at $12,000.00 to be split equally. .
Mayor Sather advised the total cost of the :iJrgJrovement was approxLrately
$24,000.00 and the assessed portion would be $12,000.00.
Brian Hecht, 1620 Oak Avenue, commented that the contractor did not complete the
project properly; suggested the city defer final payment on the project until
such t:iJne as the project is properly completed.
Clerk Administrator Berger stated he and the Attorney have discussed the
settlement problem on the project with the former engineering consultant, Barry
Peters, and were advised the rratter will be resolved.
Mayor Sather asked if there were any further comments from the flax. There was
no response and the public hearing was closed at 8:05 p.m.
Councillnember Hansen questioned if Engineer Graham could offer insight into the
water a=lation problem at 1587 Oak Avenue, as displayed by Mr. Duddleston.
Graham advised he did not review that property in terms of water a=lation and
offered to do so at Council request.
Councillnember Hansen questioned if the property title at 1680 Oak Avenue could
establish responsibility for the current property owner to restore the driveway.
Attorney Filla stated he does not believe the property owners are responsible to .
take care of this erosion problem; the Albjerg's property does not front on Oak
Avenue and easement rights were granted for access. He indicated the alternative
to eliminate drainage problems is to require each property owner to construct
ponding on their property to contain the storm water; this method would be costly
or approximately the same cost as an assessment of this nature.

contributes.

Dear F~d, IOn)
As we discussed recently, officials from over 20 Minnesota cities
have expressed an interest in working together on a number of
local environmental initiatives. The city officials that
originally expressed an interest in such a cooperative effort are
from st. Paul, Minneapolis, st. Louis Park, Golden valley,
Shoreview, Robbinsdale, and Eagan. At the League of Minnesota
cities recent conference, other city officials expressed an
interest in becoming involved. These officials are from
Alexandria, Arden Hills, Coon Rapids, cottage Grove, Crystal,
Duluth, Falcon Heights, Hastings, Mankato, Maplewood, Minnetonka,
North St. Paul, Red wing, Shakopee, and Winona. No official
. title has been given to this informal group of cities; we will
discuss possible titles at an upcoming meeting.
The original members have expressed an interest in working
jointly on a number of possible local ordinances in the areas of
water quality, air quality, and solid waste. Specifically, they
have discussed ordinances banning phosphorous in household and
commercial laundry detergents, restricting the use of lawn care
chemicals, and prohibiting the use of certain small incinerators.
Drafts and fact sheets of some for some of these possible
ordinances are attached for you to review. There has been
research done on all of these subjects, and further background
information is available upon request.
This group was formed as a way to help cities have greater impact
with their environmental initiatives. There is a general
understanding that a local environmental initiative will have a
more significant impact, and less chance of state preemption, if
it is passed by a greater number of cities. The discussions as
to the form this group will take are still in the informal
stages. Our vision is of a working group dedicated to state wide
environmental activism. The decisions of this group would reach
would be non-binding, but we would like members that are highly
interested in passing environmental reforms.
. Along with the draft ordinances and fact sheets, we have attached
a copy of an agenda for the upcoming organizational meeting. The
meeting will be used to formalize an organizational name, decide
on the organization's structure, devise some type of meeting
CITY HALL SEVENTH FLOOR SAINT PAUL, MINNESOTA 55102 612/298-4473

. schedule, and bring up potenti~l future topics. The meeting will
be held at on July 12 at 4:00 p.m. in Room 316, st. Paul city
Hall. It is very important that cities interested in
participating in this organization attend this meeting. If you
have any questions about the meeting, or are unable to attend but
are interested in adding your thoughts to the discussion, please
contact Bob Long's office at (612)298-4473.
Thank very much, ~
