PUBLIC cmMENTS
WINTER PARKING Council was referred to a memorandum from the Clerk
ORDINANCE Administrator dated 10-5-90, regarding recent complaints
received from residents on the new winter parking
ordinance and the year-round parking regulations.
Berger noted two written complaints were received from Mr. Daniel Donohoo, 3175
Hafner Court, Shoreview, and Mr. Kurtis Ault, 1473 Arden Oaks Drive. He stated
one or both residents may be present to discuss the parking regulations.
The Clerk advised a survey of surrounding communities, regarding winter and
year-round parking regulations, is attached f= Council review. He explained
Arden Hills appears to be more restrictive in its regulations.
Mayor Sather asked if there was anyone present to speak on this matter.
Dan Donohoo, 3175 Hafner Court, Shoreview, referred Council to his letter dated
10-5-90. He advised he had contacted 13 comrrn.mities relative to parking
. regulations and found only two restrict parking between the hours of 2 and 6 a.m.
.
Donohoo stated his opposition to the 11:00 p.m. restriction for parking on the
street. He explained he considers persons parking in his driveway a nuisance, in
the event he may have to move his vehicles. He also noted he contacted several
residents and they also expressed displeasure with the new parking restrictions.

PARKING (Cont'd) May= Sather questioned if Donohoo is a resident of Arden .
Hills.
Donohoo explained he is not currently a resident of the City, however, he is
planning to move into Arden Hills and commented he does not want to live in Arden
Hills if this ordinance is in effect.
Clerk Administrator Berger stated the winter parking re:jU1ations restrict parking
on the street between October 15 and April 15. Berger noted the six hour parking
restriction has been in effect for a number of years. He advised the rationale
for adopting the new winter parking ordinance was based on the limited l1'al1pOWer
for plowing City streets and the number of vehicles parking on the street that
delay effective snow plowing and maintenance during the winter months.
Mayor Sather explained the six hour parking ban was placed in effect a number of
years ago, due to the narrowness of older streets in the city and for public
safety purposes.
council1nerober Hansen stated she has lived on Lake Johanna Boulevard for a number
of years and it has always been a "no parking" street. She explained residents
learn to adapt to the parking restrictions. Hansen also advised the ordinance was
reviewed by the Public Works/Safety Connnittee in depth prior to recormnendation to
council. She discussed how ineffective issuance of parking citations has been in
the past and the problems the City has experienced during the winter months with
plowing .
council1nerober Mahowald advised Ml:. Donohoo that, contrary to the accusation in .
his letter, the city is attempting to notify each resident of the new parking
regulations; a statement will be sent in the utility billings, announcements have:
been made on Cable TV and in the local newspapers. He stated that although the
letter suhnitted by Donohoo has some valid points, in his opinion the method ofq
corrposition is undesirable; stating facts would be better serve the purpose than
the sarcastic renarks in the letter.
Jim Fitzgerald, 1371 Floral Drive, stated the residents did not receive
notification that a new ordinance was being considered by Council. He questioned
if the winter parking ordinance replaces an old ordinance or is newly enacted.
Mayor Sather advised the city Code did have a provision for winter parking
regulations and the new ordinance "enhances" the old re:jU1ations. He stated the
ordinance does not become effective until october 15 and it may be premature to
change the re:jU1ation at this time. Sather suggested the Council and staff review
the ordinance next year to determine if the enhanced re:jU1ations are effective.
Public Works SUpervisor Winkel stated he will advise the Public Works employees
to evaluate the time spent plowing during the winter months and keep records to
assist Council in detennining the effectiveness of the ordinance next year.
Council1nerober Growe agreed that the 11:00 p.m. restriction may be too early to
prohibit vehicles from parking on the street during the winter months. She
suggested a possible change to 12 or 1:00 a.m. ..
Winkel stated he would prefer to keep the 11:00 p.m. restriction at this time,
due to the current level of l1'al1pOWer and evaluate the time frame next spring.

MORA'IORIUM, dated 9-5-90, a draft of the ordinanoe as prepared by the
LEXINGION AVENUE city Attorney dated 8-23-90 and the Planning Cormnission
STUDY AREA minutes of 10-3-90, relative to the proposed moratorium
for the Lexington Avenue study Area.
Bergly reported the plan has been forwarded to the Metropolitan Council for their
review and recornrnendation. He explained initial response frcn:n the Met Council is
a request for a traffic study; based on a miscalculation of the a=eage involved.
Council questioned when the Met Council review will be completed.
Bergly stated the review will probably be accomplished in two or ~ee months.
The Planner explained that an application was heard by Planning Cormnission
relating to development of a site in the study area; the City has the option to
waive the ordinance if the development is consistent with the new guidelines
developed f= the proposed rezoning of this area.
Malone moved, seconded by Mahowald, to adopt Ordinance
No. 273, AN ORDINANCE ADDING SECTION XIV'ro APPENDIX A OF '!HE ZONING ORDINANCE OF
'IHE CITY OF ARDEN HILlS REIATING 'ro 'IHE IMFOSmON OF AN lNI'ERIM DEVEWFMENT

,CASE #90-11; SUP Council was referred to Planner Bergly's report and the
CHURaJ:, HWY 96 & Planning Cormnission minutes dated 10-3-90, relative to
. SNELLING AVE; srs. the application for a Special Use Pel:mit/site Plan Review
VOWDYMYR & OLGA for a House of Worship at Highway 96 and Snelling Avenue.
Planner Bergly discussed the revisions, in the previously suhnitted site plan as
relate to parking setbacks, landscaped area and removal of ~ee residences
previously proposed on the site. He noted the Planning Cormnission reconunended
approval of the SUP and site Plan, based on the findings listed in the minutes as
Items A thru E, and noting conditions of approval as Items F thru 1.
Council1nember Mahowald questioned if the parking is reduced on the revised plan.
Architect Frank Niemuth explained the parking area was reconfigured and the
n1.lll1ber of parking spaces reduced to aco::xnmodate the 100 ft. setback frcn:n
residential property, as required.
Planner Bergly explained the applicant has not shown a need for requiring
additional parking and the rnnnber of parking spaces provided meets the minimum
requirements of the zoning code.
Council questioned if the applicant attempted to negotiate purchase of the
property to the west of this site and if the land is obtained will the site plan
be revised.
The architect stated the applicant is still negotiating with the property owner
to purchase the westerly parcel; if the land is obtained the plan will be
. reconfigured.
.
Council1nember Mahowald questioned if Park Dedication is required on tax exempt
property and if a stipulation should be attached to subsequent approval of the
application.
The Planner advised that park dedication was required for the North Heights
Lutheran Church site and should be attached as a condition of approval.

CASE #90-11 (Cont'd) CounciJ1nember Growe questioned if a precedent will be .
established by allCMing the courtyard area to be included
as part of the landscaping percentage calculations for this site.
Planner Bergly advised that Council could identify the rationale for allCMing the
courtyard area to be utilized in the calculations.
CounciJ1nember Malone recalled that Carroll's Furniture was allowed to utilize a
con=ete island as part of the "open space" requirements; it appears the intent
of the courtyard design is to give the effect of landscaped area.
Malone expressed concern regarding the follCMing items:
1. Parking; must provide adequate on-site parking spaces.
2. stonn water retention plan.
3. Bell Tower/Chimes propcsed in the phased construction; if nuisance corrqJlaints
received frcnn surrounding residential areas may have to restrict use.
Malone requested to be placed on record as advising the applicant that off-site
parking will be strictly enforced, due to the narrowness of city streets.
TIle Planner advised the proposed parking exceeds the minimum spaces required for
churches, auditoriums, etc., in the zoning o:rle.
Bergly stated the applicant is proposing to divert the stonn water to a catch .
basin located on site; the RCWD has issued a. permit for the site. He noted the
Corps of Engineers has also issued a wetlands permit and MN/oor has authorized an
access permit frcnn Highway 96.
Malone discussed the stonn water runoff which will be metered off-site frcnn the
pending area shown on the plan.
TIle architect advised the Engineer has reviewed the plan.
TIlere was discussion regarding the proposed bell tower/chimes.
Malone reminded the applicant that if objections are received frcnn surrounding
residential development, the chimes may have to be adjusted in the future.
CounciJ1nember Hansen questioned if a lighting plan is suJ:mitted with the site
plan.
Planner Bergly advised the lighting plan was suJ:mitted and meets code
requirements .
Fire Chief Winkel questioned the width of the interior streets between parking
spaces and if the facilities have sprinkler systems installed.
TIle architect stated the interior streets are approx:i111ately 25-30 ft. in width
and should accarrnnodate emergency vehicles for access. He noted both the church
and parish hall have sprinkler systems propcsed for installation. .
TIle Planner advised Council the signage plan suJ:mitted has no changes proposed .
and meets all code requirements.
Bergly noted that two actions are required for approval of the application;
approval of the Special Use Pennit and site Plan.

CASE #90-14; SITE Council was referred to the Planner's report and Planning
PIAN REVIEW, 3776 Commission minutes dated 10-3-90, relative to the
CDNNOLLY AVE, Far application for site Plan Review f= a wilding addition
o GOLD BINGO HAIL, at the Pot 0 Gold Bingo Hall, 3776 Connolly Avenue, Louie
WUIE WALSH Walsh.
Planner Bergly explained the initial approval for the Bingo Hall conversion fram
a lumberyard was granted in 1986. He advised at that time the site plan review
. included determining the number of parking spaces, landscaping plan development
and lighting.
Bergly.advised at this time the applicant is proposing a 14 ft. X 80 ft. building
addition to accommodate a nonsmoking area for bingo players. He.noted the parking
which is=ently located in the area of the proposed addition will be relocated
to the northerly area of the site.
The Planner advised the northwest =rner of the site is =entlya gravel
surface and City code requires parking areas be hard-surfaced; the applicant
should be required to install a hard-surface in this area of the site, whether or
not approval is granted for the building addition.
Bergly stated the Planning Commission recornmen:ied denial of the request, based on
1. The =ent status of the lexington/Fox business study area, which is now
under a development moratoritnn and the expansion does not meet the proposed
guidelines for rezoning of this area; and, 2. Due to the lack of ccnnplete
d=urnentation sutmitted by applicant for site plan review.
The Planner stated Commission suggested the applicant may explore the possibility
of =eating an interior area for nonsmokers, which would be separated fram the
main area by use of glass walls, and may be less expensive than a hlilding
addition.
Councilmember Hansen stated opposition to expanding the facility at this time and
. expressed =ncern regarding the appearance of the hlilding and site in general. .
She suggested the applicant be required to install a hard-surfaced parking area
and perform a general upgrade of the existing hlildings on site. Hansen recalled
she contacted city. staff on several occasions during the last few years to have
the mechanical equipment on this site screened.
Minutes of the Arden Hills Regular Council Meeting, October 9, 1990
Page 6
CASE #90-14 (Cont'd) CounciJ1nember Growe also stated opposition to the .
proposal, due to the moratorium enacted by eouncil action
this evening. She advised she recently viewed the interior of the bingo hall and
there appears to be enough space inside to enclose an area for nonsmoking. Growe
also expressed concern that the hard-surfaced area has not been installed over
the past four years the hall has been in operation.
counciJ1nember Malone questioned if the paving of the parking lot area was a
condition of approval when the original site plan was reviewed by eouncil in
1986.
Planner Bergly stated the eouncil action did not specifically require the paving,
however, hard-surfaced area is required by City code.
Malone explained in an I-1 District the wIding meets =ent code and the
applicant sul:rnitted the application one month prior to the iIrq:x:>Sition of the
moratorium.
CounciJ1nember Malone suggested if approval is granted the applicant be advised
the monies spent on expansion of the facility will not be recouped in the future,
based on the proposed development guidelines and rezoning of the area and that
in'provement of the parking area be a condition of approval.
Mayor Sather agreed with CounciJ1nember Malone that theoapplication be considered
for action and stated it may be difficult for legal counsel to defend action to
deny based on the moratorium iIrq:x:>Sition. He also agreed the applicant should be .
required to install the paved area within a thirty day period.
Marlyn DaIrnnan, representing American Business Women's Association, stated she is
appalled by the condition of the bingo hall and Council should review the
operation of the hall. IJa1nI'ran confirmed that there is sufficie.nt area inside the
facility to enclose an area for nol1SlOClking patrons. She reviewed the recent
dispute between management and renters of the facility regarding the amount of
space and cost of rental; indicated the management is requesting the addition to
justify higher rental fees for the charities operating at the hall.
CounciJ1nember Malone stated the city cannot regulate the operation of the bingo
hall management, only regulate the building meeting code requirements.
Malone moved, seconded by Sather, to approve the site
Plan Review, Case #90-14, for a building addition at the Pot 0 Gold Bingo Hall,
3776 Connolly, subject to the property owner being notified of the following: l.
That with the intended rezoning of the property, the building will become
nonconforming and future modifications will not be pennitted without upgrading of
the facility; 2. That a building pennit for the addition will not be issued until
the surfacing of the parking area is installed in the northwest area of the site
to aCCClll1lOOdate parking and meet code requirements; and, 3. That ten additional
parking spaces will be added in the northeast corner of the site, to aCCClll1lOOdate
removal of parking for the building addition, and the railroad spur removed,
prior to issuance of a building pennit. Motion failed. (Malone, Sather voting in
favor; Hansen, Growe and Mahowald opposed) (2-3) ..
Planner Bergly recommended that action for denial of the application include
rationale.

site Plan Review for a building addition at the Pot 0
Gold Bingo Hall, 3776 connolly Avenue, and request staff to notify the applicant
of such action based on the follCMing findings of fact:
1. Inadequate documentation suhnission to the Planning Commission and council for
site plan review, as required by Section 8-E of the Zoning Code.

to parking areas in conjunction with approval of the site plan in 1986 and
issuance of the building permit for this site.
3. 'Ihe Council intent is to impose a development moratorium to accamplish a

opposed) (3-2)

FWS (Cont'd) Council discussed the method for determining annual .
salary adjustments for enployees and the possibility of

be a good time to consider putting the various
committees together as an Ad-Hoc committee on an "as needed"
basis. He expressed disappointment with the Planning commission
and Board of Appeals and their recent lack of a quorum to conduct
business, as this holds up applicants and does not reflect
positively on the city. Since these are statutory committees,
they should be sure to have a quorum at all times to conduct
business. The "convenient" committees (Public Safety/Works,
Finance, city Hall, Human Rights, Park & Rec, Economic
Development Committee, etc. ) could be combined to form an ad-hoc
committee which could serve as needed, rather than on a monthly
basis.
Councilmember Hansen suggested increasing the number of
alternates to the Board of AppealS. It was felt that having the
same people on the Planning Commission as .on the Board of Appeals
was not fair to the applicants if their case was denied by the
Board of Appeals.
Mayor Sather suggested that a stipend be paid to the planning
Commission members if they miss no more than two meetings per
. year and also if they take some formal training sponsored by the
League of Minnesota cities or Government Training Service, which
the city will pay for, and that they will be able to attend .
on-going training as it becomes available in the future.

october 22, 1990 Worksession Minutes, Page Two
Staff was directed to research training materials and times .
available. Committee liaisons are to ask their members what they
would like to become more active in.
Hansen noted that the Public Safety/Works Committee should fold
and be an ad-hoc committee. Mahowald felt that the Park and
Recreation Committee could hold quarterly meetings, rather than
monthly.
Mayor Sather suggested that department heads construct things
that need to be done for council and present these items to the
various committees. Liaisons should poll their committees to see
what the major focuses are for 1991 and advise council in late
November or early December, before Committee lists are prepared
for the first meeting in January, 1991.
ASSESSMENT MANUAL City Engineer Maurer was present for dis-
cussion on the draft assessment manual his
firm had prepared for Council review. councilmember Malone noted
that everything that had been asked for previously was included
in this policy. Malone reviewed his comments and concerns on
several pages in the manual, noting a typo in the fourth line of
the first paragraph on page 1. Malone suggested the following
changes:
Page 8 - last sentence of (m) should read "other than" instead of .
"less than" two times the standard rate. Page 11 - 5. Corner
Lots, there should be a comma in the fourth line after the first
long side. In the last sentence of the first paragraph under 5,
the "15" year period should be corrected to read "5" year
period. Page 14 (2a) , the last sentence should be eliminated.
On page 29, Malone noted that the Finance Committee recommended
the following under VIII, 1, e, 2 for Street Lighting: They
call for assessing installation costs and billing operating
expenses. In general, we should assess the installation costs of
all ornamental lights and of any other lights beyond those shown
in our street lighting plan. Operating costs of lights of any
type beyond our plan should be billed, but this should be a
separate policy.
Page 30 (g) recycling should be added per Ramsey county.
Page 32 - the percentages assessed should be 50% residential and
70% commercial.
Councilmember Hansen commented on the good job Engineer Maurer
had done on the manual and Maurer was directed to make the above
minor changes and come back with a final draft for the November
13 Council meeting.

. WATER TOWER Engineer Maurer reviewed the water tower study
STUDY noting that only two or three issues were
significant. He noted that the system is
actually in pretty good shape, but that the report ignored the
Arsenal property. Maurer noted three areas in the line that are
short of pressure. They are Round Lake, the area around Mounds
View High School, and part of the Roscville connection on Hamline
Avenue. There is 800 feet of 12 inch section in this area.
Maurer suggested three ways to fill the water tower to capacity:
l. Build a booster station at the Arden HillsjRoseville border.
This would be very expensive.
2. Build a booster station at County Road E. Maurer felt this
would not accomplish much.
3 . The most reasonable method would be to remodel the existing
lift station and expand the building. He proposed one pump,
not two, and upgrade the controls at the existing station and
replace the pumps.
Mayor Sather noted that Maurer should formulate a list of
chronological order and come back to Council with this
information. Hansen thanked Maurer for the good job he did with
. the water tower study.
KEITHSON POND Engineer Maurer reviewed the drawing of
Keithson Pond. Attorney Filla noted that the
pond was reconfigured in October, 1987, and there was no great
discussion on an outlet for the pond. Maurer noted the pond is
presently not doing the job. The question is what needs to be
done to the pond to make it work. Maurer suggested pumping it
from time to time, with a long term solution being a positive
outlet to the southwest as part of a city drainage plan.
Mayor Sather asked what a short-term solution would be. Maurer
responded that the pond would need to be shaped and expanded in
the easement area and to dig the hole deeper.
Attorney Filla stated in order to obtain an easement from George
Reiling, the city must:
l. Establish that this is a public improvement.
2 . Council must authorize a portion of Reiling's property for
condemnation.
3. City must construct the project and outlet.
From start to finish, Filla estimated a six month or longer time
frame.
. .
.~
October 22, 1990 Worksession Minutes, Page Four
KEITHSON con'd Mauer is to get the numbers on the water run- .
off for storage and will try to get soil boring
numbers from SEH. Filla is to investigate the possibility of
obtaining an easement from Reiling for an outlet.
Councilmember Mahowald suggested that a separate account should
be established for these costs.
Mr. Mark Magers, 4521 Keithson Drive, owner of Lot 4 of this
plat, stated he has waited a long time to have this matter
resolved and he is now hearing the same things he heard in July.
He stated he does not want to lose any more trees on his property
due to the pond water.
Staff was directed to obtain copies of the bond release and the
date the project was completed from SEH, as well as the date of
closing and the purchase agreement from Mr. Magers. Engineer
Maurer will obtain numbers on the percolation of the soil.
Carol Ryden, attorney for the Magers family, requested that all
parties be notified when the Keithson Pond topic will be
discussed again. city Administrator Berger stated he will notify
her in writing when this will take place again, noting that this
was scheduled for discussion on October 29, at 6:30 PM, but that
after this evening's discussion, there will not be any definite
answers available on the 29th. Therefore, the October 29 Council .
meeting will begin at 7:30 PM.
MISCELLANEOUS Councilmember Mahowald advised the Council
that he will not be able to attend the October
29 Council meeting, since he will be out of town.
ADJOURN Councilmember Growe moved, seconded by
Councilmember Mahowald, to adjourn the
meeting at 6:55 PM. Motion carried unanimously (5-0) .

Members of the Arden Hills 'City Council
1450 West Highway #96
St. Paul, MN 55112
Dear Mayor Sather and City Council Members:
A theme that has emerged this school year from the collaborative efforts and
spirit of cooperation being built between our schools and cities is "Celebrate
Learning in District 621 Schools and Cities." The theme captures the
excitement inherent in the District's move to a new grade organization and
implementation of Mounds View Public Schools' Bold Venture program plans. It
also captures the value our schools and cities place on programs offered
. through District 621 Community Education, and the satisfaction that has come
through their successful relocation from Edgewood to new sites in our
communities.
As a symbol of this school and city unity, a "Celebrate Learning" flag has
been designed by student Anna Pletscher whose design contest entry was one of
800 received from students last spring. The flag is intended to be for
display at all District 621 schools, the community centers, and .. with city
council endorsement .. the city halls of our school district.
Mounds View Public Schools would like to present the City of Arden Hills with
its "Celebrate Learning" flag. In a telephone conversation with City
Administrator Gary Berger, it was suggested that the formal.presentation be
made by the School District at the October 29 meeting of the Arden H,ills City
Council. We look forward to a confirmation of these plans, and to presenting
you with the flag to display proudly as we all continue to celebrate learning
in District 621 schools and cities.

PUBLIC c::a1MENI'S
WINTER PARKING Council was referred to a memorandum from the Clerk
ORDINANCE Administrator dated 10-5-90, regarding recent complaints
received from residents on the new winter parking
ordinance and the year-round parking regulations.
Berger noted two written complaints were received from Mr. Daniel Donohoo, 3175
Hafner Court, Shoreview, and Mr. Kurtis Ault, 1473 Arden Oaks Drive. He stated
one or both residents nay be present to discuss the parking regulations.
'Ihe Clerk advised a su:rvey of surrounding communities, regarding winter and
year-round parking regulations, is attached for Council review. He mq>lained
Arden Hills appears to be more restrictive in its regulations.
Mayor Sather asked if there was anyone present to speak on this natter.
Dan Donohoo, 3175 Hafner Court, Shoreview, referred Council to his letter dated
10-5-90. He advised he had contacted 13 communities relative to parking
. regulations and found only two restrict parking between the hours of 2 and 6 a.m.
.
Donohoo stated his opposition to the 11:00 p.m. restriction f= parking on the
street. He mq>lained he considers persons parking in"his driveway a nuisance, in
the event he nay have to move his vehicles. He also noted he contacted several
residents and they also e-xpressed displeasure with the new parking restrictions.

Minutes of the Arden Hills Regular council Meeting, october 9, 1990
Page 2
PARKING (COnt'd) Mayor Sather questioned if Donohoo is a resident of Arden .
Hills.
Donohoo explained he is not =ently a resident of the City, however, he is
planning to move into Arden Hills and commented he does not want to live in Arden
Hills if this ordinance is in effect.
Clerk Administrator Berger stated the winter parking regulations restrict parking
on the street between october 15 and April 15. Berger noted the six hour parking
restriction has been in effect for a number of years. He advised the rationale
for adopting the new winter parking ordinance was based on the limited manpower
for plowing City streets and the number of vehicles parking on the street that
delay effective snow plowing and naintenance during the winter months.
Mayor Sather explained the six hour parking ban was placed in effect a number of
years ago, due to the narrowness of older streets in the city and for public
safety purposes.
councilmember Hansen stated she has lived on Lake Johanna Boulevard for a number
of years and it has always been a "no parking" street. She explained residents
learn to adapt to the parking restrictions. Hansen also advised the ordinance was
reviewed by the Public Works/Safety COmmittee in depth prior to recommendation to
COuncil. She discussed how ineffective issuance of parking citations has been in
the past and the problems the city has experienced during the winter months with
plowing. .
councilmember Mahowald advised Mr. Donohoo that, contrary to the accusation in
his letter i the. City is attenpting to notify each resident of the new parking
regulationsia statement will be sent in the utility billings, announcements have
been made on Cable TV and in the local newspapers. He stated that although the
letter suJ:mitted by Donohoo has same valid points, in his opinion the method of
composition is undesirablei stating facts would be better serve the purpose than
the sarcastic rerrarks in the letter.
Jim Fitzgerald, 1371 Floral Drive, stated the residents did not receive
notification that a new ordinance was being considered by council. He questioned
if the winter parking ordinance replaces an old ordinance or is newly enacted.
Mayor Sather advised the City Code did have a provision for winter parking
regulations and the new ordinance "enhances" the old regulations. He stated the
ordinance does not become effective until october 15 and it nay be premature to
change the regulation at this time. Sather suggested the council and staff review
the ordinance next year to determine if the enhanced regulations are effective.
Public Works SUpervisor Winkel stated he will advise the Public Works employees
to evaluate the time spent plowing during the winter months and keep records to
assist COtmcil in detennining the effectiveness of the ordinance next year.
councilmember Growe agreed that the 11: 00 p.m. restriction nay be too early to
prohibit vehicles from parking on the street during the winter months. She
suggested a possible change to 12 or 1: 00 a.m. .
Winkel stated he would prefer to keep the 11: 00 p.m. restriction at this time, .
due to the current level of manpower and evaluate the time frame next spring.

. ORD. #273; PROP'D Council was referred to a memorandum from Planner Bergly
M::lRATORIUM, dated 9-5-90, a draft of the ordinance as prepared by the
LEXINGlON AVENUE City Attorney dated 8-23-90 and the Planning Conunission
SIUDY AREA minutes of 10-3-90, relative to the proposed moratorium
for the Lexington Avenue study Area.
Bergly reported the plan has been fonvarded to the Metropolitan Council for their
review and recorrnnendation. He explained initial response from the Met Council is
a request for a traffic study; based on a miscalculation of the a=eage involved.
Council questioned when the Met Council review will be completed.
Bergly stated the review will probably be accomplished in two or three months.
'Ihe Planner explained that an application was heard by Planning Conunission
relating to development of a site in the study area; the City has the option to
waive the ordinance if the development is consistent with the new guidelines
developed for the proposed rezoning of this area.
Malone moved, seconded by Mahowald, to adopt Ordinance
No. 273, AN ORDINANCE ADDlliG SECTION XIV TO APPENDIX A OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE OF
THE CITY OF ARDEN HILLS RELATING TO THE IMPOSITION OF AN INTERIM DEVELOPMENT
MJRATORIUM. Motion carried unan:i1nously. (5-0)
CASE #90-11; SUP Council was referred to Planner Bergly's report'and the
. CHURCH,' HWY 96& Planning Conunission minutes dated 10'-3-90, relative to
SNELLING AVE; srs. the application for a Special Use Permit/site Plan Review
VOroDYMYR & OLGA for a House of Worship at Highway 96 and snelling Avenue.
Planner,Bergly discussed the revisions in the previously suhnitted site plah as
relate to parking setbacks, landscaped area and removal of three residenceS'
previously proposed on the site. He noted the Planning Conunission recommended
approval of the SUP and site Plan, based on the findings listed in the minutes as
Items A t.hru E, and noting conditions of approval as Items F t.hru I.
Council1nernber Mahowald questioned if the parking is reduced on the revised plan.
Architect Frank Niemuth explained the parking area was reconfigured and the
number of parking spaces reduced to accorrnnodate the 100 ft. setback from
residential property, as required.
Planner Bergly explained the applicant has not sh=n a need for requiring
additional parking and the number of parking spaces provided meets the minimum
requirements of the zoning code.
Council questioned if the applicant attempted to negotiate purchase of the
property to the west of this site and if the land is obtained will the site plan
be revised.
'Ihe architect stated the applicant is still negotiating with the property owner
to purchase the westerly parcel; if the land is obtained the plan will be
. reconfigured.
.
Council1nernber Mahowald questioned if Park Dedication is required on tax exempt
property, and if a stipulation should be attached to subsequent approval of the
application.
'Ihe Planner advised that park dedication was required for the North Heights
Lutheran Church site and should be attached as a condition of approval.

~E #90-11 (Cont'd) Council1nernber Growe questioned if a precedent will be .
established by allowing the courtyard area to be included
as part of the landscaping percentage calculations for this site.
Planner Bergly advised. that Council could identify the rationale for allowing the
courtyard area to be utilized in the calculations.
Councilmernber Malone recalled that Carroll's Furniture was allowed to utilize a
con=ete island as part of the "open space" requirements; it appears the intent
of the courtyard design is to give the effect of landscaped area.
Malone expressed. concern regarding the following items:
1. Parking; must provide adequate on-site parking spaces.
2. storm water retention plan.
3. Bell Tower/Chimes proposed in the phased construction; if nuisance complaints
received from surrounding residential areas may have to restrict use.
Malone requested to be placed on record as advising the applicant that off-site
parking will be strictly enforced, due to the narrowness of city streets.
The Planner advised the proposed parking exceeds the minimum spaces required for
churches, auditoriums, etc., in the zoning code.
Bergly stated the applicant is proposing to divert the storm water to a catch .
basin located on site; the RCWD has issued a permit for the site. He noted the
Corps of Engineers has also issued a wetlands permit and MN/oor has authorized an
access permit from Highway 96.
Malone discussed the storm water runoff which will be metered off-site from the
peneling area shown on the plan.
The architect advised the Engineer has reviewed the plan.
There was discussion regarding the proposed bell tower/chimes.
Malone reminded the applicant that if objections are received from surrounding
residential development, the chimes may have to be adjusted in the future.
Councilmernber Hansen questioned if a lighting plan is suhnitted with the site
plan.
Planner Bergly advised. the lighting plan was suhnitted and meets code
requirements.
Fire Chief Winkel questioned the width of the interior streets between parking
spaces and if the facilities have sprinkler systems installed.
The architect stated the interi= streets are approximately 25-30 ft. in width
and should a=ornmodate emergency vehicles for access. He noted both the church
and parish hall have sprinkler systems proposed for installation. .
The Planner advised. Council the signage plan suhnitted has no changes proposed >
and meets all code requirements.
Bergly noted that two actions are required for approval of the application;
approval of the Special Use Permit and site Plan.

Highway 96 and Snelling Avenue, based and conditioned upon items A thru I, as
listed in the Planner's report and Planning Conunission minutes dated 10-3-90, a

John Buhajenko extended thanks on behalf of the congregation and invited
Council1nembers to attend a ceremony at the Church site on Saturday, October 13,
at 3:00 p.m.
CASE #90-14; SITE Council was referred to the Planner's report and Planning
PIAN REVIEW, 3776 Conunission minutes dated 10-3-90, relative to the
CDNNOLLY AVE, Par application for site Plan Review for a building addition
o GOID BINGO HALL, at the Pot 0 Gold Bingo Hall, 3776 Connolly Avenue, Louie
IDillE WAISH Walsh.
Planner Bergly,explained the initial approval for the Bingo Hall conversion from
. a lumberyard was granted in 1986. He advised at that t:iJne the site plan review
included detennining the mnnber of parking spaces, landscaping plan development
and lighting.
Bergly advised at. this t:iJne the applicant is proposing a 14 ft. x 80 ft. wilding
addition to aCCOl'lU'OCldate a nonsmoking area for bingo players. He noted the parking
which is =ently located in the area of the proposed addition will be relocated
to the northerly area of the site.
The Planner advised the northwest COIner of the site is =ently a gravel
surface and city code requires parking areas be hard-surfaced; the applicant
should be required to install a hard-surface in this area of the site, whether or
not approval is granted for the building addition.
Bergly stated the Planning Conunission recornmerrled denial of the request, based on
1. The =ent status of the I.ex:ington/Fox b.1siness study area, which is now
under a development moratorium and the expansion does not meet the proposed
guidelines for rezoning of this area; and, 2. Due to the lack of complete
documentation suhnitted by applicant for site plan review.
The Planner stated Conunission suggested the applicant may explore the possibility
of =eating an interior area for nonsmokers, which would be separated from the
main area by use of glass walls, and may be less expensive than a building
addition.
Councilrnernber Hansen stated opposition to expanding the facility at this t:iJne and
. expressed concern regarding the appearance of the wilding and site in general. .
She suggested the applicant be required to install a hard-surfaced parking area
and perf= a general upgrade of the existing buildings on site. Hansen recalled
she contacted City staff on several oo::asions during the last few years to have
the mechanical equipment on this site screened.

Minutes of the Arden Hills Regular Council Meeting, october 9, 1990

CASE #90-14 (Cont'd) Councilmember Growe also stated opposition to the .
proposal, due to the moratorium enacted by Council action
this evening. She advised she recently viewed the interior of the bingo hall and
there appears to be enough space inside to enclose an area for nonsmoking. Growe
also ~ressed =ncern that the hard-surfaced area has not been installed over
the past four years the hall has been in operation.
Councilmember Malone questioned if the paving of the parking lot area was a
condition of approval when the original site plan was reviewed by Council in
1986.
Planner Bergly stated the Council action did not specifically require the paving,
however, hard-surfaced area is required by city oode.
Malone ~lained in an I-1 District the wilding meets =ent oode and the
applicant suJ::rnitted the application one month prior to the :inp::lsition of the
moratorium.
Councilmember Malone suggested if approval is granted the applicant be advised
the monies spent on expansion of the facility will not be recouped in the future,
based on the proposed development guidelines and rezoning of the area and that
ilnprovement of the parking area be a condition of approval.
Mayor Sather agreed with Councilmember Malone that the application be =nsidered
for action and stated it may be difficult for legal counsel to defend action to
deny based on the moratorium :inp::lsition. He also agreed the applicant should be .
required to install the paved area within a thirty day period.
Marlyn Damman, representing American Business Women's Association, stated she is
appalled by the condition of the bingo hall and Council should review the
operation of the hall. Danunan continued that there is sufficient area inside the
facility to enclose an area for nonsmoking patrons. She reviewed the recent
dispute between management and renters of the facility regarding the amount of
space and cost of rental; indicated the management is requesting the addition to
justify higher rental fees for the charities operating at the hall.
Councilmember Malone stated the City cannot regulate the operation of the bingo
hall management, on! y regulate the wilding meeting oode requirements.
Malone moved, seconded by Sather, to approve the site
Plan Review, Case #90-14, for a building addition at the Pot 0 Gold Bingo Hall,
3776 Cormolly, subject to the property owner being notified of the following: 1.
That with the intended rezoning of the property, the wilding will become

site Plan Review for a bJilding addition at the Pot 0
Gold Bingo Hall, 3776 Ccnnolly Avenue, and request staff to notify the applicant
of such action based on the following findings of fact:
1. Inadequate d=umentation suJ:mission to the Planning Commission and Ccuncil for
site plan review, as required by Section 8-E of the Zoning Cede.

to parking areas in conjunction with approval of the site plan in 1986 and
issuance of the wilding permit for this site.
3. The Council intent is to inpose a developnent moratoriwn to accomplish a
rezoning of this area and, therefore, does not wish to proceed with expansion

perfonnance; suggested the Park Director use the terminology outlined in the
performance guidelines.

classification for this position and a point value for corrparable worth purposes;
noted the city had no such position when corrparable worth surveys were initially
completed.

MINUTES OF THE ARDEN HILLS WORKSESSION COUNCIL MEETING
MONDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1990 - 4:30 P.M., CITY HALL
. CALL TO ORDER Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, Mayor
Sather called the meeting to order at 4:30 PM.
ROLL CALL The roll being called, the following members
were present: Mayor Thomas Sather,
councilmembers JoAnn Growe, Nancy Hansen, Thomas Mahowald and
Paul Malone. Also present: city Engineer Terry Maurer, city
Attorney Jerry Filla, Public Works supervisor Dan Winkel, Park
Director John Buckley, city Treasurer Frank Green, City
Administrator Gary Berger, and Administrative Secretary Mary Ann
Hillyer. Mr. and Mrs. Mark Magers and their attorney Carol Ryden
were also in attendance for the Keithson Pond discussion.
INVESTMENT POLICY Treasurer Frank Green was present to review
his proposed investment policy. He stated
that it may be time to formalize investing and felt that staff
and the Finance committee should review the policy to address all
areas and agree on wording for a reasonable objective and come
forward with recommendations for the city council. Councilmember
Hansen commented that an investment policy is very timely and
needed and this appears to be a good way to start and has her
support. Treasurer Green, in response to a question from
Administrator Berger, noted that the proposed policy is modeled
from the Municipal Treasurer's Association.
. council concensus was to pass the policy to the Finance Committee
for recommendations which will be available in January, 1991.
COMMITTEES Mayor Sather commented that perhaps now would
be a good time to consider putting the various
committees together as an Ad-Hoc committee on an "as needed"
basis. He expressed disappointment with the Planning commission
and Board of Appeals and their recent lack of a quorum to conduct
business, as this holds up applicants and does not reflect
positively on the City. Since these are statutory committees,
they should be sure to have a quorum at all times to conduct
business. The "convenient" committees (Public Safety/Works,
Finance, city Hall, Human Rights, Park & Rec, Economic
Development Committee, etc.) could be combined to form an ad-hoc
committee which could serve as needed, rather than on a monthly
basis.
Councilmember Hansen suggested increasing the number of
alternates to the Board of Appeals. It was felt that having the
same people on the Planning commission as on the Board of Appeals
was not fair to the applicants if their case was denied by the
Board of Appeals.
Mayor Sather suggested that a stipend be paid to the Planning
commission members if they miss no more than two meetings per
year and also if they take some formal training sponsored by the
. League of Minnesota cities or Government Training service, which
the City will pay for, and that they will be able to attend .
on-going training as it becomes available in the future.
y....
October 22, 1990 Worksession Minutes, Page Two
Staff was directed to research training materials and times .
available. Committee liaisons are to ask their members what they
would like to become more active in.
Hansen noted that the Public Safety/Works Committee should fold
and be an ad-hoc committee. Mahowald felt that the Park and
Recreation Committee could hold quarterly meetings, rather than
monthly.
Mayor Sather suggested that department heads construct things
that need to be done for council and present these items to the
various committees. Liaisons should poll their committees to see
what the major focuses are for 1991 and advise council in late
November or early December, before committee lists are prepared
for the first meeting in January, 1991.
ASSESSMENT MANUAL city Engineer Maurer was present for dis-
cussion on the draft assessment manual his
firm had prepared for Council review. councilmember Malone noted
that everything that had been asked for previously was included
in this policy. Malone reviewed his comments and concerns on
several pages in the manual, noting a typo in the fourth line of
the first paragraph on page 1. Malone suggested the following
changes:
Page 8 - last sentence of (m) should read "other than" instead of .
"less than" two times the standard rate. Page 11 - 5. Corner
Lots, there should be a comma in the fourth line after the first
long side. In the last sentence of the first paragraph under 5,
the "15" year period should be corrected to read "5" year
period. Page 14 (2a), the last sentence should be eliminated.
On page 29, Malone noted that the Finance Committee recommended
the following under VIII, 1, e, 2 for Street Lighting: They
call for assessing installation costs and billing operating
expenses. In general, we should assess the installation costs of
all ornamental lights and of any other lights beyond those shown
in our street lighting plan. Operating costs of lights of any
type beyond our plan should be billed, but this should be a
separate policy.
Page 30 (g) recycling should be added per Ramsey County.
Page 32 - the percentages assessed should be 50% residential and
70% commercial.
Councilmember Hansen commented on the good job Engineer Maurer
had done on the manual and Maurer was directed to make the above
minor changes and come back with a final draft for the November
13 Council meeting.

October 22, 1990 Worksession Minutes, Page Three
. WATER TOWER Engineer Maurer reviewed the water tower study
STUDY noting that only two or three issues were
significant. He noted that the system is
actually in pretty good shape, but that the report ignored the
Arsenal property. Maurer noted three areas in the line that are
short of pressure. They are Round Lake, the area around Mounds
View High School, and part of the Roseville connection on Hamline
Avenue. There is 800 feet of l2 inch section in this area.
Maurer suggested three ways to fill the water tower to capacity:
l. Build a booster station at the Arden Hills/Roseville border.
This would be very expensive.
2. Build a booster station at County Road E. Maurer felt this
would not accomplish much.
3. The most reasonable method would be to remodel the existing
lift station and expand the building. He proposed one pump,
not two, and upgrade the controls at the existing station and
replace the pumps.
Mayor Sather noted that Maurer should formulate a list of
chronological order and come back to Council with this
information. Hansen thanked Maurer for the good job he did with
. the water tower study.
KEITHSON POND Engineer Maurer reviewed the drawing of
Keithson Pond. Attorney Filla noted that the
pond was reconfigured in October, 1987, and there was no great
discussion on an outlet for the pond. Maurer noted the pond is
presently not doing the job. The question is what needs to be
done to the pond to make it work. Maurer suggested pumping it
from time to time, with a long term solution being a positive
outlet to the southwest as part of a city drainage plan.
Mayor Sather asked what a short-term solution would be. Maurer
responded that the pond would need to be shaped and expanded in
the easement area and to dig the hole deeper.
Attorney Filla stated in order to obtain an easement from George
Reiling, the City must:
l. Establish that this is a public improvement.
2. Council must authorize a portion of Reiling's property for
condemnation.
3. City must construct the project and outlet.
From start to finish, Filla estimated a six month or longer time
frame.
. .
,..- ,
October 22, 1990 Worksession Minutes, Page Four
KEITHSON con'd Mauer is to get the numbers on the water run- .
off for storage and will try to get soil boring
numbers from SEH. Filla is to investigate the possibility of
obtaining an easement from Reiling for an outlet.
Councilmember Mahowald suggested that a separate account should
be €5tablished for these costs.
Mr. Mark Magers, 4521 Keithson Drive, owner of Lot 4 of this
plat, stated he has waited a long time to have this matter
resolved and he is now hearing the same things he heard in July.
He stated he does not want to lose any more trees on his property
due to the pond water.
Staff was directed to obtain copies of the bond release and the
date the project was completed from SEH, as well as the date of
closing and the purchase agreement from Mr. Magers. Engineer
Maurer will obtain numbers on the percolation of the soil.
Carol Ryden, attorney for the Magers family, requested that all
parties be notified when the Keithson Pond topic will be
discussed again. city Administrator Berger stated he will notify
her in writing when this will take place again, noting that this
was scheduled for discussion on October 29, at 6:30 PM, but that
after this evening's discussion, there will not be any definite
answers available on the 29th. Therefore, the October 29 Council .
meeting will begin at 7:30 PM.
MISCELLANEOUS Councilmember Mahowald advised the Council
that he will not be able to attend the October
29 Council meeting, since he will be out of town.
ADJOURN Councilmember Growe moved, seconded by
Councilmember Mahowald, to adjourn the
meeting at 6:55 PM. Motion carried unanimously (5-0).

Mr. Gerald McGuire

Arden Hills, MN 55112
Dear Mr. McGuire:
After repeated requests for payment of your City utility bill,
this letter is written to notify you that the Arden Hills City
council has directed me to begin the water "shut off" procedure
for parkshore Apartments, as per the attached Ordinance No. 258.
As you know, you have made only four partial payments during the
last seven quarters of utility billings, and have never been
current on any payments, nor have any bills been paid in their
. entirety. The City must receive $4,910.12 prior to December 1,
1990, if you wish to continue your water service. If the full
payment ~s not received prior to that date, water service will
be shut off effective Monday, December 3, 1990.
You have the opportunity to present your objections to the
delinquent utility bill by contacting me at the above address.
Additionally, you may request in writing, a hearing on this
matter before November 29. The city will not shut off your
water supply until after the hearing has been held and a
determination made that the water supply should be discontinued.
Please contact me regarding payment prior to November 29, 1990.
Sincerely,
~-e 8~

Dear Mr. Berger:
The purpose of this letter is to bring to your attention the growing traffic flow
problem at the intersection of Hamline/Snelling and County Road F. It is always
difficult to exit our front parking lot onto Hamline South because traffic operating .
north on Snelling/Hamline is heavy and travelling at speeds at 45-55 miles per
hour. In addition, it is ver:: difficult for our employees to exit west from County
Road F onto Snelling south.
Anything that you can do to alleviate the situation would be helpful. I look forward
to hearing from you.

SUBJECT: Completion of One Year Employment for Steve (pete)
Saxe
------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Steve Saxe will be completing his first year of employment on
November 1, 1990. I met with Mr. Saxe to conduct his one year
evaluation. I feel that he has done an outstanding job for us
since being hired last November. He had a lot of experience
before coming to Arden Hills and has been a very positive
attribute to our Public Works Dept. Steve is very willing to
learn how our system works and able to contribute significantly
to our day-to-day operations.
RECOMMENDATION:
. Based on a very positive performance evaluation and a highly
satisfactory first year of employment, I recommend that Mr. Saxe
move Oil to level five of his pay plan. He is currentli' at level
four or 95% of the wage rate. Moving to level five would bring
him to 100% or full wages for his pay plan.
ACTION REQUIRED:
If Council concurs with the staff recommendation, they should
pass a motion approving the pay increase to 100% of the wage rate
or $13.38 per hour, effective November 1, 1990.

RE: Lease of Hailing System - Pitney BOHes
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Attached is a recommendation from Deputy Clerk Iago, to lease a Pitney BOHes
mailing system for use by city staff. Deputy Clerk Iago has researched the
mailing demands with a representative from Pitney Bowes, and has vieHed three
mailing systems manufactured by the company. It is her recommendation to
lease the system at the 101' end of the model series, Hith the option to upgrade
the system during the term of the lease, if deemed necessary.
After review of the attached materials, I concur Hith Deputy Clerk Iago's
recommendation for lease of the equipment. In the opinion of t~e office
staff, the current mailing equipment has substantiaL repair time, damages
mail, and does not operate effectively. It is also hard to change the
. postmark on the machine, install ink and Hater and additional postage
requires a staff member to remove the meter to bring it to the post office
for the upgrade.
ACTION REQUIRED:
If Council concurs with staff recommendation, they should adopt a motion to
approve the lease of the Model #6260, Semi-Automatic Mailing System, from
Pitney Bowes, and authorize the Clerk Administrator to execute the necessary
documentation.

RE: Request to Lease Mailing System - pitney Bowes
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A representative of pitney Bowes recently campleted an analysis of the existing
m3.iling system, due to the nUlllber of service calls for the current system and to
detennine if the m3.iling demands are conducive with the m3.chine capacity.
I met with pitney Bowes Sales Consultant Barbara Gehl to review the results of
the m3.il system analysis and was advised that our current mailing needs exceed
the design capacity of our equipment. She also stated that the replacement parts
for the m3.iling system are no longer nanufactured by pitney Bowes and, therefore,
m3.intenance costs are higher since the company utilizes outside sources for
purchase of replacement parts. Barbara stated the company has two m3.iling systems
in use that are becoming obsolete and pitney Bowes is offering incentives to
customers to upgrade the older systems.
'Ihe attached infonnation sheet outlines the current costs to the city and the
proposed savings by utilizing an Electronic Scale versus the current
spring-operated scale. (Approxilnately $52.50 per mo.) You will note the meter
. rental fees are slightly lower and the proposed system offers the City the
following advantages:
- Postage installation by telephone; currently the meter portion of the mailing
system must be taken to the post office to install additional postage.
- Ease of operation; the new system provides semi-automatic feed, self co=ecting
envelope alignment (which will decrease damage to envelopes), and an up:1ated
labeling system for W1k packages which require self-stick labels.
- Cost savings; replacement parts will be less costly as the company stocks
parts for the upgraded system and the old system parts are obsolete and
supplies are slightly l~ in cost, as well as easier to install.
In addition to the above-mentioned advantages, pitney Bowes is offering a low
interest rate, (9.9%) on a 48-month lease to customers currently utilizing the
older model m3.iling systems. 'Ihe monthly leasing fee is $88.50 per month, with a
buy out at the en::l. of the leasing term at a cost of 10% of the mrket value of
the system. Pitney Bowes has stated the city may upgrade the system at anyt:iJne
during the term of the lease, if the mail demand increases. Also, additional
features m3.y be added to this system which will increase efficiency and save t:iJne
for staff, such as:
- Automatic accounting of mailing costs to each deparbnent.
- Automatic feed of all mailing pieces.
- Automatic postmarking of m3.il.
. 'Ihe system proposed for lease is the low en::l. of this model series and has been
designed to effectively serve small to moderate volume mailers.
.
I respectfully request your consideration to recommend to Council, lease of the
pitney Bowes Semi-Automatic Mailing System, Series #6260, at a cost of $88.50 per
month. Please note, since the city owns the current equipment, the monthly lease
cost for the mailing system was not included in the 1990 Budget, only the
maintenance and meter rental costs.

DOES AN ELECTRONIC WEIGHING SYSTEM REALLY SAVE MONEY!
--
Here's what some independent sources say about electronic systems:
"A v i tal element in enhancing mailrooms of any s i z e are electronic
mailing and shipping scales that provide variable automatic
capabilities to accurately weigh and calculat8 rates for material to
be shipped. An estimated saving of 10% can be generally real ized
wi th these uni t s because of th e i r extreme accuracy. "
(The Office magazine, August 1982)
"Electronic scales are designed and priced for both the high and low
volume user, and are especially effective i n operations handling a
large number of parcels... i t is estimated t na t a company can save
from 15% to 20% in mailroom costs after switching from a mechanical
scale to an electronic scale".
(DataPro Research Corporation, September 1982)
"While an old-fashioned mechanical scale is certainly better than
guesswork, such a device is to the modern electronic scale what
. Grandma's manual tYPtOrwriter i s to todays' word processor...Studies
show that mech~nical scale u'ers pay an average of 1590 in posfage
overpayments which accumulate in time due to faulty scales ana human
judgement".
(Case &. Comment, January 1984)
n(Processing outgoing mail): Letter and parcel weighing systems that
use digital readouts and microcomputers dramatically cut time spent
on th is tedious mailroom duty and therby reduce human errors.
Typical postage payments are inflated by 12% to 15%, mo s tl y due to
employees choosing a higher rate when the mechanical scale i s too
imprecise to judge between two rates. Thus, dig i tal meters often pay
for themselves jus t by eliminating t his error factor".
( Small Business Re p 0 r t , December 19 b 3 )
"We found tha t before installing the E:-.1S-70 Electronic scale we were
pliying 15% too much for postage.. .wi th the installation of the EMS-
70. which electronically weighs mai 1 and di splays the correct rate
and zone number for the desired method of shipping, these mistakes
have been vi rually el imi na ted".
(Tandy Corporation, in Office Products News)
