First, let me tellllou my family and I have nothing but the hi9hest of praise fc,r;3.11 of you who aTe INillin9 to serve our village -- ma}'or, council, appointed r)fficials, and full time staff.

It is a 140')( 60' structure complete with seyeral Yery large offices. It incorporates ra~1iant heat and the owner reports it has neyercost over $180 per month to heat! Some structures outthere are eyen larger and I would hope you .~ould see some alternative ideas from looking at a few. Let us not stick our nose up at pole bUildings! They are certainly not ha~' barns and they are not discrim inated against by our Codes. Costs to build a nd costs to mainta in are low and they are a fantastic dOtl;3.r value, Construction time is very fast and equipm"tnt can be undercover in a very short period.

PUBLIC COMMENTS REMODELING VALUATION ISSUE SCOTT LARSON, 1178 BENTON WAY Scott Larson submitted a request to establish a procedure for determining valuation for residential remodeling projects. He reported that on November 2, 1992 he applied for a permit to remodel his basement which reflected an estimated value of $1,400, based upon the cost of the materials needed for the remodeling project. . Larson stated that Building Inspector Kriesel disputed the $1,400 figure and placed a value of $26,113.05 on the remodeling, which reflected a $31.05 per square foot value, on the basis that the lower level met the definition of a story rather than a basement. Larson added that he was not satisfied with the Building Inspector's valuation figure or the manner in which he was treated by the Building Inspector so he appealed to the Administrator for further assistance. Larson reported that his research of Section 304,B of the Building Code supports Larson's valuation. He added that he also contacted the State Code Consultant, Mike Godfrey, who indicated that typically the formula for determining valuation for the type of remodeling Larson plans is cost of material times three. Larson said that when he spoke with Administrator Person she irrdicated that the valuation dispute may take a number of days to resolve, but he wanted a quicker resolution, so he contacted the Mayor to discuss the matter, and agreed to meet again with the Building Inspector and the Administrator to attempt to settle the issue at the administrative level. Larson stated that the latest valuation figure discussed . with the Building Inspector was $9,000, which the Building Inspector thought was more appropriate than the original $1,400, however, no definite figure has yet been determined. , . Arden Hills Council 3 November 9, 1992 Larson requested that 1) The valuation of $9,000 for the remodeling be accepted or an unbiased neighboring City review the matter, 2) A neutral party be allowed to inspect the remodeling, and 3) The City establish a written, consistent procedure and guidelines for determining valuation to make the building permit process more "user friendly". He added that he believes most people don't even apply for permits for this type of remodeling. Administrator Person said staff is attempting to arrive at a figure that is appropriate and mutually agreeable, but that figure must be based upon unbiased facts rather than simply an arbitrary compromise. She agreed that a written policy and appropriate formulas for determining valuation should be established. Person commented that if Larson could submit estimates from independent contractors, those estimates would be helpful in determining valuation so this matter could be settled relatively soon, with a written policy addressing the issue to be established later. Councilmember Hicks referred to the dispute over whether the space is a basement or a story and asked the current . condition of the space. Larson replied that the area is the totally enclosed, lower level of a split entry home which has already had plumbing and electricity installed from the original construction, Hicks stated that the Building Inspector's original figure of $26,113.05 may be correct for original construction, but when a space is changed from unfinished to finished, it seems appropriate that calculations be based upon a different formula. Hicks added that he trusts staff will be able to settle the issue. Councilmember Malone agreed that it appears staff is attempting to resolve this issue and he preferred to let that process continue. council encouraged Larson to continue to work with staff toward a resolution. UNFINISHED AND NEW BUSINESS CASE NO. 92-17 REZONE & PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT COTTAGE VILLAS OF ARDEN HILLS JOHN ARKELL, DEVELOPER City Planner Bergly reported that the applicant in Case No. 92-17, developer John Arke11, is proposing a 60-unit senior housing development for persons 60 years of age and over in the income level of $24,500 and under. The highlights of . the project include: affordability, handicap adaptability, on-site caretaker, meal program, area hospital visits, van/taxi/bus transportation, we11ness program, and social events. . . Arden Hills Council 4 November 9, 1992 Bergly outlined the boundaries of the property proposed to be purchased and the portion of that property which is proposed to be developed. He noted that the proposal calls for a two-story complex with garages. He reported that the Fire Marshall has indicated that fire hydrants should be relocated on this property and the entire building be sprinkled in lieu of a circumferential drive around the building. Bergly stated that the plans call for a bus shelter to be located at the entrance of the development if bus service routes can be revised to service that location. Bergly also stated that outdoor congregate seating areas are planned in the courtyards of the complex. Bergly noted that one issue at the Planning Commission level was the matter of signage for the project. He reported that a satisfactory sign location has now been established which meets setback requirements, and the project's identification sign has now been designed to conform to the sign ordinance relative to size, height, and construction. Bergly reported that suggestions made by the Planning . Commission were taken under advisement by the developer and changes have been made to address Planning Commission concerns. He added that while the proposal generally conforms to the comprehensive plan and technical matters under both the existing ordinance and the proposed revised ordinance, it would require: 1) Waiving of the Development Moratorium, 2) Rezoning from R-2 to R-3 to accommodate the proposed density of approximately 6 and 2/3 units per acre, and 3) Approval of the PUD General Development Plan. Councilmember Hicks recalled that originally about 12 acres were being considered for this project and now there is a 9 acre site. Bergly explained the boundaries of the building site as well as the entire property the developer is purchasing. councilmember Hicks asked what amount of regrading would be necessary to accommodate this project. Bergly stated the only grading planned is to create a ponding area, and explained that surface water run-off would flow through storm sewer to the ponding area. He added that the contours shown on the map around the rear of the proposed complex already exist and will require very minor regrading. He . pointed out that along the north portion of the property a very small area would be filled and a small wetland would be added. He confirmed that a water management plan must be approved by Rice Creek watershed District, the DNR, and Army ---- . . Arden Hills Council 5 November 9, 1992 Corps of Engineers, and application has been made to those agencies, but approval has not yet been granted, Councilmember Malone asked what drainage pattern will be followed to direct overflow surface water away from the property. Bergly stated that apparently water currently flows to the north, but this has not yet been completely researched. Malone cautioned that the matter of drainage must be completely resolved prior to approval, Bergly agreed, and said there are plans to do so. Councilmember Malone commented that conditions recommended by the Planning Commission and Planner appear to be appropriate. He recalled the developer had expressed interest in tax increment financing during earlier discussions for this project. He emphasized that the developer must understand that any approval of the PUD or rezoning makes no inference or commitment with regard to tax increment financing, The developer, John Arkell, stated that this evening the only matters which he expected to go before Council for . consideration were the rezoning request and the PUD approval. He stated that he understands the matter of tax increment financing is an entirely separate issue; that approval of a rezoning or PUD does not infer any commitment to any kind of financing arrangements in the future. Responding to an inquiry from Councilmember Hicks regarding property size and density, Arkell stated that a large portion of the property is undevelopable due to soil conditions or easements and the density of 6 and 2/3 units per acre is calculated using the entire site, not just the developable portion of the site. Frank Reese, the architect for the project. commented that resident, Elizabeth Modesette of 3743 New Brighton Road, noted at the November 4, 1992 Planning Commission meeting that her property stakes appeared to be missing after surveying work for this project. He said he has spoken with Ms, Modesette and it was determined that the stakes had not been removed, but were simply difficult to locate. He assured that concern has been resolved. Bergly suggested a description of the project be included in approval of the rezoning and it be effective at the time of issuance of a building permit. He stated that a development agreement would address other matters. Counci1member Malone . added that approval could be given subject to City Attorney review to assure that everything is in order. Councilmember Hicks noted the application does not specifically address the type of project the developer has presented this evening. . . Arden Hills council 6 November 9, 1992 Councilmember Malone commented that Council has been presented this evening with bits and pieces of information and he would prefer the Planning Commission compile an entire package for presentation to Council, including a checklist, so Council may be certain that all elements related to this approval are in place. Councilmember Hicks concurred. Councilmember Hicks stated that he prefer to see a comprehensive landscape plan of the entire site rather than just around the building site, specifically to address landscaping plans for the southwest portion of the property. MOTION: Malone moved, seconded by Hicks, to waive the development moratorium ordinance for Case #92-17, Motion carried unanimously (4-0). MOT ION : Malone moved, seconded by Mahowald, relative to Case #92-17, to rezone the 9-acre property from R-2 to R-3 for the proposed PUD with a density of 6 and 2/3 units per acre as allowed in the proposed zoning ordinance revisions. This rezoning is approved only for the specific project presented by the applicant this . evening and is to be effective at the time of the issuance of the building permit for this specific project. Motion carried unanimously (4-0) , MOTION: Malone moved, seconded by Hicks, relative to Case #92- 17, to approve the PUD General Development Plan and Final Plan for the Cottage Villas of Arden Hills with the following conditions, and subject to successful execution of a Development Agreement between the City and the developer. The Development Agreement, in addition to the usual matters, is to address the following issues: - Park dedication requirements. - Appropriate bonding for landscaping and costs associated with City review and inspection and an escrow account to cover such costs. - Site construction plans. The following conditions are attached to PUD approval: - A parking ratio of one garage space and .5 outside spaces be provided for each unit and .5 spaces per unit (30) be approved as "proof of parking" to be constructed at such time as the City determines that the need for such additional parking is . evident. - The water management plan be approved by Rice Creek Watershed District, DNR, and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, copies of any required permits be . . Arden Hills Council 7 November 9, 1992 filed with the City, and measures to improve water quality in the existing pond be investigated in conjunction with these permits. - With regard to fire protection, per the recommendations of the Fire Marshall, the entire complex (including garages) is to be equipped with a suppression sprinkler system, and fire hydrants are to be relocated to the satisfaction of the local Fire Marshall, - A revised landscape plan be submitted and approved, which addresses landscaping of the entire site rather than only the building site. - Congregate areas be established in courtyard areas of the complex. - A bus shelter be provided. - Signage comply with the City's sign ordinance, setback and location requirements. Motion carried unanimously (4-0). CASE NO. 92-19 WAIVER OF DEVELOPMENT MORATORIUM . FOR ACCESSORY BUILDING OWEN RASMUSSEN, 2020 THOM DRIVE As background for Case #92-19, Bergly reported that the applicant's lot at 2020 Thorn Drive in an R-2 district, is about 20,000 square feet in area (nearly twice the required R-2 lot size of 11,000 square feet). He explained that the applicant has requested waiver of the development moratorium ordinance to construct a 24 ft. X 40 ft. (960 square foot) 10-foot high eave line garage/storage building on his property. Bergly further explained that current ordinance does not limit the size of such accessory buildings, but the proposed revised zoning ordinance would limit the maximum size of such accessory buildings to 700 square feet. He pointed out that because the applicant's lot is considerably larger than the R-2 minimum lot size, the ratio of the proposed- sized accessory building to the applicant's large lot would be comparable to the ratio of a standard~sized garage to a standard-sized lot. Bergly added that the applicant's home is also considerably larger than other homes in the neighborhood, and the proposed accessory building was part of original plans for the lot. He stated the applicant was originally advised . that the proposed building was consistent with the existing ordinance and was not aware of the recently imposed development moratorium until he applied for a building permit for the accessory building. . . Arden Hills Council 8 November 9, 1992 The applicant, Owen Rasmussen, and Berg1y reported that on the lot immediately to the west of the applicant's lot is a 30 ft. X 48 ft. (1,440 square foot) 21 ft. high steel pole building, It was further reported that the applicant plans to roof and trim the accessory building in the same color as the house, and install vertical steel siding on the exterior walls in a similar color to the house. councilmember Malone recalled a solid fence along the south property line of the applicant's property and questioned how the accessory building would be accessed. Bergly stated that there is a crushed rock drive around the north end of the home which would provide access. Councilmember Hicks expressed concern regarding the exterior appearance of the accessory building and whether it would be appropriate in the neighborhood, He stated that he would prefer to see the applicant use horizontal siding to match the house in order to maintain the look of a residential nature rather than an agricultural look. Rasmussen stated that high tensile strength steel siding is more durable than the usual residential-type horizontal . siding and more appropriate for the use of the building. He explained that the building is planned to be constructed with lO-foot high side walls with six feet of pole underground. He added that he has already obtained the materials because he did not expect any problems. councilmember Malone asked if the applicant would construct the building using different materials if cost were not an issue, Rasmussen answered no. Bergly emphasized that under the proposed revised ordinance, this accessory building would require a variance, but since the building was planned prior to the development moratorium and because the trim, roof and color will be similar to that of the house, he considered the building acceptable, Attorney Filla commented that the purpose of a development moratorium is to prevent nonconformities while the development moratorium is imposed. He advised council that they are not required to w~ive the development moratorium and if they agree to a waiver, they may attach conditions. Rasmussen informed that in addition to the color and trim of the exterior of the building matching the house, his yard is quite wooded so the accessory building would be barely visible from the street. Councilmember Hicks commented that . though the building may not be very visible from the street, it would be very visible from the north and may detract from the aesthetics of the applicant's home and the neighborhood. . Arden Hills Council 9 November 9, 1992 Councilmember Mahowald stated that while he understands Councilmember Hicks' concernsJ he does not think the Council is in a position to dictate the type of building or materials as long as construction conforms to requirements. Councilmember Malone advised the applicant that if the proposed building were allowed, it would be nonconforming in size, and if it should be destroyed sometime in the future by fire or weather, etc. , and the owner wishes to rebuild, the rebuilding would be subject to then current ordinances. The applicant indicated he understood. MOTION: Mahowald moved, seconded by Hicks, to waive the development moratorium ordinance relative to Case #92- 19, based upon the findings and recommendations of the City Planner, with the understanding that the proposed accessory building will be nonconforming under the proposed revised ordinance, therefore, if the building would ever need to be replaced~ its replacement must comply with then current ordinances. Motion carried unanimously (4-0). . CASE NO. 92-20 SIDE YARD VARIANCE 1727 CHATHAM AVENUE RICK & SHERILYN HANSON Planner Berg1y explained that the applicants, Rick and She r il yn Hans on, are requesting a variance to the required 10-foot side yard setback in the R-l district, to all ow them to build a 4 ft. wide addition onto the west side of their home which would encroach 4 ft. into the side yard setback. Bergly further explained that the shape of the applicants' lot is irregular, the lot is tapered and the house is not parallel with the side lot lines, so the home was designed with a jog in the west wall to avoid encroachment on the side yard setback. Bergly pointed out that the house to the west has an identical design along its east wall (which faces the applicant's home). He recommended denial of the variance orr the basis that no hardship has been demonstrated, the applicant may put the property to reasonable use without the variance, and if the encroachment were allowed it may negatively affect the living space of both the applicant's home and their neighbor to the west. . Councilmember Hicks emphasized that while this requested encroachment does not appear significant, it is important to remember that the lots in this development are quite small and homes are built to the limits of setback requirements, 1992 . Arden Hills Council 10 November 9, MOTION: Malone moved, seconded by Hicks, to deny the request for a side yard setback variance, Case #92-20, as sufficient hardship in support of such variance has not been demonstrated. Motion carried unanimously (4-0). T.H. 51 MEDIAN CLOSING REOUEST FOR ALTERNATIVES Jean Lemberg, 1401 Skiles Lane, reported that she received a letter from MnDOT stating that the issue of closing the T.H. 51 median cannot be revisited and suggesting the City explore alternate ways of accessing the surrounding neighborhoods. Lemberg said she has spoken with Councilmember Growe and they arrived at a list of persons who should be involved in such a meeting, that list included: Mayor sather Public Works Superintendent Winkel Councilmembers Ramsey County Commissioner McCarty Jean Lemberg MnDOT Metro Division Engineer O'Keefe City Engineer Ramsey County Engineer Public Safety Committee Chair . Mayor sather stated that the Council recognizes the inconvenience created by the median closing and is also hopeful of finding alternatives. He suggested that County Commissioner-elect Wedell also be invited to attend the meeting. Administrator Person was directed to arrange a meeting amongst those persons listed above, Councilmember Hicks suggested the agenda include discussion of the matter of County Road E west of T.H. 51 and what measures might be appropriate, such as restriping or creating turn lanes, to provide smoother traffic flow and access through that area. Council and Lemberg concurred. DISCUSSION OF REFERENDUM #1 ELECTION RESULTS FOR BONDING OF PUBLIC WORKS FACILITY Mahowald commented that alternatives need to be explored in light of the referendum results. He stated that a significant portion of the money needed to build a new City Hall is dependent upon the sale of the existing City Hall, and if the City's public works facility remains at its present site, that potential sale is complicated. Mahowald added that a decision must be made as to whether . the arsenal property is going to continue to be pursued; he believed pursuit should continue as the arsenal property appears to be the best location for a City Hall, He stated . ... Arden Hills Council 11 November 9, 1992 that perhaps if the arsenal property were to only be used as the City Hall, it may be easier to obtain. Administrator Person commented that various financing options are available, or the Council can wait six months and conduct another referendum, She reported that many citizens have expressed disappointment and volunteered to assist in community awareness before another referendum. Mayor Sather stated that the failed referendum is especially disappointing since it failed by such a small margin. He reported that the DNR has expressed an interest in the arsenal property to preserve the wildlife there, but he believes that a City Hall on that property might be able to accommodate some of the DNR needs. Councilmember Malone stated the referendum results were surprising and he believes the failure is due to apathy and lack of voter awareness. Jean Lemberg, 1401 Skiles Lane, stated that Ramsey County is in need of additional public works space and perhaps a joint . venture could be explored. Mayor Sather and Councilmember Malone said that possibility has been explored, but it appears the needs of the City and the County are quite different and the County prefers a more central location. Mayor Sather added that a joint Arden Hills City Hall/Ramsey County Service Building has also been explored, Councilmember-elect, Beverly Ap1ikowski, stated that she has received calls expressing disappointment; she suggested a Citizen's Group be activated to help in community awareness. Councilmember Hicks commented that another vote would likely turn out differently. Councilmember Malone emphasized that before a second vote, improved education of the community is a necessity. Council directed Administrator Person to compile a list of alternatives in this matter, COUNCIL COMMENTS REVISED ZONING ORDINANCE Administrator Person stated that a date of December 2 has been suggested for a joint meeting between Council and the Planning Commission to discuss proposed revised zoning ordinance. . . Arden Hills Council 12 November 9, 1992 . MOTION: Malone moved, seconded by Hicks, to schedule a joint meeting between Council and the Planning Commission on December 2, 1992 at 6:30 p.m. to discuss revisions to the City's zoning ordinance. Motion carried unanimously (4-0) . ESTABLISHING PROCEDURE FOR DETERMINING VALUATIONS Councilmember Hicks referred to the issue discussed this evening under "Public Comments". He encouraged staff to require Mr, Larson to submit only one estimate from an independent contractor relative to his plans for remodeling his lower level, that requiring more than one estimate seems to place an undue burden on the applicant. FINANCE MEETING REMINDER Councilmember Malone reminded that the next meeting of the Finance Committee will be held November 18, 1992 , GROCERY STORE IN THE CITY Councilmember Malone referred to a letter received from a . resident requesting a grocery store in the City. He commented that he would also like to see a grocery store revitalized in the City since the former grocery store is closed, but the Council has no power to initiate a grocery store other than giving strong consideration to such a proposal if one comes forth. ADJOURN MOTION: Malone moved, seconded by Hicks, to adjourn the meeting at 9:32 p.m. Motion carried unanimously (4-0) . Thomas R. Sather, Mayor Dorothy A. Person, Clerk Administrator NOTICE OF MEETINGS: A Council worksession will be held November 16, 1992 at 4:30 p.m. The next regular Council meeting wi 11 be held November 30, 1992 . at 7: 30 p.m. at City Hall. . .

PASSED AND ADOPTED BY THE ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL THIS 30TH DAY OF NOVEMBER, 1992. CITY COUNCIL CITY OF ARDEN HILLS Thomas R, Sather, Mayor ATTEST: Dorothy A. Person, Clerk Administrator . . , .. . CITY OF ARDEN HILLS JmDWID(lM DATE: NoV8Dber 24, 1992 TO: Dorothy PersOn, city Mministrator FRCM: DIm winkel., Public works superint........~t SllBJECT: Remaval of 10,000 Gallon Gasoline Tank I am requesting that the Council approve the rerooval of the 10,000 gallon gasoline tank located behi.rrl the Public Works J:uildi.nq. ihe tank was originally scheduled to be removed in 1991. D..1e to the possibility of including the rem:wal costs in the proposed new Public Works facility, it was my recommendation not to remove it in 1991. However, as the preparation of the 1993 Budget began, which includes an estimated cost for spending in 1992, it became obvious that the tank rencval should be added back in the 1992 Budget if the referendum fails. ihe Council agreed and said that the tank shall be removed this year. There is $10,000 in the 1992 estimated I::udget for rem:wal of this year. . I have obtained three quotes to do this job. '!be tank rencval shall include; rerooving the tank and hauling to an approved tank disposal company for disposal, purging the tank prior to rerooval, backfillin:J the site to grade, and also conducting the required envirornnental site assessment with written report for a clean site. The quoted prices for this specification are as follows: 1. Minnesota Petroleum Service, Inc. $3,878.00 2. Griffin Service 4,350.00 3. Petroleum Equipment Services 4,040.00 Minnesota Petroleum is the apparent low bidder for this project. Mr. Bruce Madsen from Minnesota Petroleum stated that he could get this done yet this fall. There are also alternate costs that may be encountered during this tank removal. These costs were foun:l on site durin:J the tank removal. These costs include the excavation, rencval and stockpilin:J of bnpacted soil at $6.18 per cubic yard. I.oaclin] and haulin:J the bnpacted soil to a disposal site would cost $8.05 per cubic yard. And finally addin:J clean replacement soil c:arrpacted in place would cost $11.50 per cubic yard. It is my hope that these extra costs would not be needed, and if they are that we could reduce some of the costs by our people loading the tnlcks to haul the material away. REXX1'1MENDATION: . It is my recommendation that we hire Minnesota Petroleum to remove the un:lerground gas tank, and that they be authorized to do this as soon as possible. I:M/ts . .

'!he 1992 Budget in:licates $48,000 for the purchase of a complete rodding unit mounted on a new chassis. It was discpcced at one tiJne that we use an existing one-ton chassis, scheduled to be sold this fall, to mound the new rodder unit on. However, in reviewing the current body conditions of the existing units, it is my recammendation we not use either one of these trucks, ani instead sell both units as is. . 'lb further save money, I discussed with the Public Works crew the fact that a trailer mounted unit would be sufficient for our needs. We have already discussed building special trailer hitches that would allow us to push ani/or pull this trailer unit with one of our tractors if the need arises. '!he estimated costs for this trailer mounted unit is between $23,000 ani $24,000. '!his is below the state statute calling for any purchase over $25,000 to be completed with sealed bids only. ihe quote opening ill be scheduled for December 10, 1992. The two najor manufacturers of this type of equipment have told me this trailer mounted rodder is in stock ani probably could be available for immediate delivery. ACITON REOUIRED: If Council concurs with staff's request to purchase this equipment, approval nay be given to solicit quotes. rM/ts . .

As an alternate, the sanders have an approximate cost of $1,500 each am could be elilninated if the l:x.1dget does not allow for the bcx:ly plow am samer to be purchased. '!he estimated cost for each of the above listed items is: $11,500 . without sales tax. (Sales tax was not previously l:x.1dgeted) . 'Ihe l:x.1dget is $28,500 for each truck fully equipped.

Councilmember Dale Hicks convened the meeting. Tom O'Keefe from MnDOT indicated that he works for the local initiatives portion of MnDOT in that he is responding the citizen request for information and alternatives for the closing of Trunk Highway 51 near Lydia and snelling Avenue. O'Keefe indicated that per his October 23, 1992, letter the closing is a permanent . closure in the minds of MnDOT. The closure of the intersection as exists currently is a permanent closure. However, he had prepared for concept alternatives for the city to consider and possibility recommend MNDOT their preferred alternative. l. Frontage road from Old Snelling to Lydia. This is the preferred MnDOT alternative due to the safety issue in eliminating three entrances/exits onto T.H. 5l. 2. Reconfiguring the intersection of Old Snelling, Hamline and T.H. 51, turning this into a right angle and opening again this intersection with a signal light. 3. Widening the County Road E bridge. 4. continue with a permanent closure of the median. The County representative Jim Tolass indicated that the traffic studies at County Road E has shown that in January, 1991, 7,680 cars were travelling on County Road E at that intersection and in March, 1992, the traffic count was 7,718. Therefore, no major or substantial effect of the closure of T.R. 51 has been seen by the County. citizens indicate that there may be more traffic due to a potential townhouse development. Ramsey County indicated that work may be needed on the bridge. However, there are no plans at this time. Brad Lemberg indicated . that ADT may be acceptable. During rush hours and extremely busy time periods, the bridge is difficult to travel. MnDOT indicated if there is a frontage road that they will not obtain the right-of-way. The local governmental entity would be responsible for all costs of this frontage road. ~ , . MINUTES - Informational Meeting of T.R. 51 and Snelling Avenue Median Closing Monday, November 23, 1992, 3:00 p.m. Page Two Jean Lemberg inquired about the costs and whether increased MSA miles are a possibility. However, the state indicated those do not seem to be potentials at this time but could be taken into account given other changes. Further discussion indicated a serious concern about wetlands in that area, on the frontage road area, and also the need to purchase land from Northwestern College in order to link to the drive area. Discussion also followed regarding County Road E bridge and whether this was an alternative that needed to be considered. General discussion agreed that this alternative was expensive and did not address the concern of access onto Old Snelling. , Primary discussion centered on changing the angle of the Old Snelling and Hamline on the east side of T.H. 51 and signalization of the intersection. The State indicated that the City would be responsible for approximately one-fourth of those costs with one-half paid by the State and the other one-fourth 4It funded by the County on the Hamline side. Further discussion identified that the frontage road is the most costly. The reconfiguring of Hamline, Old Snelling Avenue, and T.H. 51 with a traffic signal is not in the 5-year plan of the County or State which may represent additional changes in their systems. County commissioner Elect Wedell indicated a need for addressing concerns of opening 1-694. The state indicated that current planning designs exist for the reconfiguration of the T.H. 51 and 1-694 intersection and ramping. Councilmember Hicks indicated the discussion regarding the request from citizens on the reconfiguration of Old Snelling, T.H. 51, and Hamline be identified as the potential priority would be forwarded to Council. It is understood that the city needs to initiate this discussion with the County and State in order to move forward at that time. This issue will be brought up at the City Council meeting.' It was also agreed by the group that a separate discussion needs to follow regarding what alternative for diversion of traffic on County Road E or the effect of that traffic on the County Road E bridge and the adjacent travel lanes to that bridge on each side . of the road. . . . // ~.

DAP Its .. . . TRUTH IN TAXATION - OUTLINE NOVEMBER 30, 1992 The 1993 Budget for the City of Arden Hills delineates details of major areas of services provided to its citizens. The Budget document is critical to the day-to-day administration during the 1993 budget year. In addition, the Council is assisted in this budget through the following areas: 1. The Council obtains an estimate of revenues for the upcoming year. 2. The budget document controls expenditures in allocating funds among City services. 3, The budget document facilitates and coordinates important decision making throughout the year. 4. The budget document assists the Council to evaluate the level and quality of services that are provided during this past year. 5. The budget document assists the Council to measure efficiency by measuring the level and quality of services the citizens receive for each dollar that the City spends. The 1993 budget process consists of the following: 1. City departments review this past year's budget planning versus actual spending in . May and June of 1992. 2. In June and July, 1992, the administration and financial staff review the requests of expenditures by departments and the anticipated revenue sources. 3. In August, 1992, the Council reviewed the staff recommendations and requests in a series of worksessions. 4. Council also reviews the major objectives and goals for the City and how the budget requests meet those goals. 5. Previous citizen concerns are evaluated at this time. 6. By September 15, 1992, the Council has set the proposed maximum levy for the 1993 budget year. This levy is certified to the County for Truth in Taxation. Truth in Taxation Notices: The purpose of tonight's meeting is to inform the taxpayers of the City's intent to adopt a levy. This levy is the maximum levy that the City is allowed to raise income for 1993. The 1993 maximum levy City-wide is $ 1,590,000. and percentage of increase over 1992 is 3.9 percent. The City Council sets the final levy at the close of the public hearing. The final levy may not exceed that amount noticed to the citizens. . In 1993, the State removed levy limits to local government. Citizens have been notified by parcel specific information as to the maximum levy and have also received notice . through a published ad in the official paper. A major objective of the 1993 budget is to maintain the present level of services without increases or major reductions in service to the citizens. The major areas within the City levy are general government, which includes planning, zoning, elections, voter registration, police and fire protection, civil defense, and safety inspections. Public Works including snow removal, street repairs and improvements, water and sewer, trash removal, recycling. Recreation and Parks; library services are also included in the levy. The objectives of Public Works services under this budget is to maintain the level of service as is currently being provided, and to continue with the pavement management study implementation. The City street maintenance primary objective is to operate in a maintenance mode, with no major changes or reconstructions in 1993. Park dedication fees paid for by developers will continue to be used to upgrade City parks. Implementation computerization of inhouse accounting function will take place in 1993. A complete finalized update of the Zoning Ordinance in addition to updating the City ordinances will take place in 1993. A review and implementation of an updated City . licenses is expected in 1993. Cleanup days for recycling and waste reduction purposes will continue in 1993 in addition to the City support of the neighborhood recycling program. Cooperation with 5 other cities in Ramsey County for law enforcement and police protection will continue. Fire protection also continues with the cooperative arrangement with other cities of Shoreview and North Oaks thru the Lake Johanna Volunteer Fire Department for fire protection again continues. The cooperation in providing these 2 public services has for years saved the citizens of Arden Hills tax dollars and has proven to be effective in maximizing protective services. Staffing for services is planned to continue at the current level. The philosophy continues to utilize outside contractors on an as needed basis which also provides a high level of expertise and resources in specialized areas. Revenue sources have changed. The City becomes more dependent on Inter- governmental income. Although scheduled to receive increases in HACA Aid, disparity aid reduction has remained relatively flat. The City is scheduled to receive increases in HACA Aid. Income has been reduced through actual receipt of delinquent property taxes and mobile home taxes. . . . Commencing in 1992, the City now pays 6 112 percent sales tax, which was not previously budgeted. A comparison of other surrounding City levies in comparison to Arden Hills is provided. Our City Accountant will review further the details of the 1993 budget and definitions of the various areas of the budgeting process. . . . CITY OF ARDEN HILLS ~ TO: Mayor lIJId City Council FRCI!: Dorothy A. Person, City 1\dministrator DhTE: November 30, 1992 SUBJECT: MaDxalIdun llddendum for Council Meeting 11-30-92 1. Consent Calendar Item No. 6.q. - Approve 4M Fund Check Writing Account. One feature of the City's membership in the 4M fund provides an account for checks drawn to be funded by funds from a money market account to a separate account resulting in constant zero balances and eliminating bank service charges. These costs have in the past year amounted to $3,900.00. This approval moves checking services from Norwest Bank (12-31-92) to the 4M Fund/First Bank Trust; First Bank, st. Paul (effective 1-01-93). Consent Calendar Item No. 6.h. - Clarification to Approve Purchase of 1- Ton Truck. The Council previously approved the purpose of two 1-Ton trucks . (Public Works) . The clarification f= diesel engines is necessary because there was an option of gasoline = diesel engine. The difference in cost is $1,000 per truck. The savings of a diesel are anticipated in better mileage (12-15 mpg to gasoline at 4-6 mpg), maintaining engine horsepower, lesser annual maintenance, reduces carbon monoxide emissions and better resale.
