He recommended that Council receive the Finance Committee's proposed license and fee structure recommendations and direct staff to review the structure in order to have the new fees in place at the beginning of 1993. With regard to the proposed institution of a Fire Inspection Fee, Councilmember Malone explained that the advantages to this fee would be to alert the Fire Marshall/Department of any hazardous materials that exist within the City. .

Hicks explained that there were four alternatives presented by MnDOT for consideration, those being: l. A frontage road from Old Snelling to Lydia. 2. Reconfiguration of the intersection of old Snelling, Hamline and T.H. 51, turning this into a right angle and opening this intersection with a signal light. 3. Permanent closure of the median. 4. Widening of the County Road E bridge.

Hicks stated that the City has control over the alternatives, but it is up to the City to decide how to proceed. He suggested that Council direct the City Engineer to conduct a cursory study on alternatives #1 and #2 to assist in decision making. Councilmember Mahowald recalled that alternative #2 was not acceptable when this matter was discussed earlier. Councilmember Hicks stated that his understanding is that signaling would not be considered unless the alignment of the roads was adjusted to create right angles. It was anticipated that there may be a cost sharing of signalization costs amongst the City and other entities. City Engineer Maurer questioned the buildability of a frontage road from old Snelling to Lydia because of wetland concerns and property issues. Councilmember Malone added that a frontage road would require the participation of the City of Roseville. Mayor Sather asked how long the City has to review the alternatives. Maurer said this should be done by the end of December or first of January. Direction was given to staff . to review and report on the alternatives surrounding T. H. 51 and Snelling Avenue median closing. COUNCIL COMMENTS PERA ACCOUNT Administrator Person alerted the Council to the possibility of their entering into a PERA, and said more information will follow on this matter.

Administrator Person stated that if letters are requesting information, etc. , replies are sent, but other letters of a commentary nature may not have received responses. Councilmember Malone asked that staff acknowledge receipt of all letters from citizens. KEITHSON ROAD Councilmember Malone requested that staff send -3 letter to Keithson Road residec.ts advising them as to why the City is pa t chi n,] that road. . . Arden Hills Council 7 November 30, 1992 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Councilmember Mahowald informed that, due to a conflict, he may be a little late for the Planning Commission meeting. Mayor Sather said he would be in attendance on time, but may need to leave early. FIRE MARSHALL \ Mayor Sather reported that he and the Administrator met with representatives of the ci ties of Shoreview and North Oaks to discuss plans for a Fire Marshall and received a job description and funding options information. He added that more information will soon be available, and the Fire Department wishes to work quickly toward getting a Fire Marshall on board and that he sees this as an opportunity to solidify the working relationship of the joint cities group in fire services back together. He said that although the addition of a Fire Marshall may be costly in the beginning, it is expected to provide long-term benefits to all the cities involved. .

IN:. 4201 LEXIml'CN AVENUE H:Rl'H Planner Bergly referre:i to his report dated December 2, 1992, relating to the applicant's request to consolidate parcels CM11ed by Control Data Systems, Inc., as identifie:i on the plat and in a 'Written legal . description, and then re-Qivisions of the consolidated tract into 3 parcels, as shown on the "lDt Consolidation/Subdivision Plan". '!he 3 resulting parcels have the following sizes (without streets) : Parcel A: 4.69 Ac (NSP sub-station) i Parcel B: 8.73 Ac (Potential development site - now vacant); Parcel C: 41.57 Ac (contains the north wing of Control Data systems hlilding. The major purpose of the proposal is to create Parcel B so it can be develope:1 as a single parcel. Bergly reviewed the findings listed in his report and explaine:i the old description of the NSP sub-station is separated from new Parcel B by a 33 foot wide strip owned by Control Data. '!his strip was presumably not include:i in the original sub-station tract so it could be use:i as the south 1/2 of a future 66 foot street. SUch a street is not neede:i for development of Parcel B nor for use by the substation. Previous divisions and transfer of 3 parcels generally located north of the central and west portions of Parcel B are not included in the proposed consolidation and'minor sub:livision. '!be Planner reconnnende:i the applicant sul:rnit this to the County for filing as a plat to allow these parcels to have lot mnnbers instead of lengthy legal descriptionsi this would allow a cleaner definition of the property. Bergly noted there are three ponding areas shown on the property to be . divide:ii one on the sub-station loti one near the NE corner of Parcel overlapping both Parcel A and Bi one in the east central area of Parcel C. These three wetlands and possibly others will need to be delineated on the ground. by a qualifie:i wetland delineator and shown on the plat a=rding to RCWD regulations, together with any utility and drainage easements . m ---- - ---------- planninq n"''';''5ion Meet.:il!q 3 12-02-92 . Bergly noted that Control Data Systems is advising the proposed purchaser that Park dedication fees will be required f= any development that occurs on this site. He noted on camnercial sites usually Park Dedication is attached to an awlication f= development rather than as part of the platting = lot division action. Bergly explained that street right-of-way is irrlicated by a dashed line on the plat, b.1t is not included in the property des=iptions. '!here are cu=ently easements provided for the aJ::utting streets. '!hese should be shown as right-of-way dedication on the plat am not included as part of the lots. Planner Bergly recamnended the following actions: 1- '!hat the proposed division be prepared in the form of a Final Plat for signatures by the City am filin:J with the County. 2. Parcels A, B, am C shall not include the RCM of abutting streets either in the delineation on the plat = in the legal des=iption. 3. utility arrl Drainage Easements shall be shown on the plat. 4. Wetlands shall be delineated on the plat in a=dance with a qualified wetlarrl delineator arrl RC.WD regulations. 5. Park dedication fees shall be resolved either in the platting stage or as part of the Development AyLeement. Chair Probst asked Jon Peterson, Towle Real Estate agent representing Control Data, if there is a need for access by a private street. Mr. Peterson . irrlicated there is no need f= an access easement with this proposal. Mr. Peterson introduced Lloyd Pew, the surveyor arrl asked Mr. Pew to speak. Mr. Pew stated as there are no development issues at this t:i1ne arrl no proposal to alter anything, theref=e, all issues relatin:J to development of this parcel should be deferred until a plan is suJ:mitted. He stated the applicant is requesting to clean up the legal des=iptions arrl file a deed at Ramsey County . winiecki stated the issue of the r~ed easements should be addressed arrl questioned the a=acy of the survey. Mr. Pew stated the survey is cu=ent. Petersen questioned the t:i1ne differential between processin:J a plat arrl min= sub-division. Mr. Pew stated it may require up to 3 months to process a plat versus filing a deed within one month. Winiecki questioned the hardship of the short t:i1ne frame involved for these des=iption changes. Walt Seiler, Control Data Facility Manager, spoke arrl stated that Control Data systems, Inc. is in no way affiliated with Control Data Corp. am they became a new corporate entity this summer. Mr. Seiler stated the sale of this property in the first quarter of 1993, would provide the company the opportunity to show a profit in lieu of a short fall. Mr. Seiler introduced the c:anpmy attorney, Jim Bellarrli. Mr. Bellandi stated he spoke with Attomey Filla this afternoon to discuss the platting recornmendation. He stated that durin:J discussions with Attorney Filla, it was . his understanding that a revised legal description would be in compliance with city regulations since this is an application for a minor suJ:rlivision. Planning Ocmnission Meeting 4 12-02-92 Erickson requested Planner Bergly clarify the stonn drainage ani public . easements. Bergly did so and also referred to Engineer Mark Graham I S letter of November 25 which is included in the Planner I s report of December 2, 1992. Mr. Graham recommends that an easement be delineated arcll.Ini these porrls which meets the requirements of the Rice Creek Watershed District. Mr. Graham felt it is =nceivable that the pond on Parcel B nay be illpacted by development. 'Ihese porrls do not appear to be protected wetlands, but this should be verified by Control Data ani shown on the plat. winiecki moved, secon:ied by Petersen, to recommen:i to Council awroval of Case #92-21, lDt Consolidation ani Minor SUb:livision, with con:iitions 2 thru 5 outlined under the recommendations in the Planner I S report of December 2, 1992, with clarification that the wetlani easements are to =nform with Rice Creek Watershed District requirements ani that utility easements are to be =nforming with the requirements of the City Engineer.

Arden Hills Council 2 November 30, 1992 Person reported that the City's levy reflects a 3.9% increase over 1992 and explained what constitutes the City's 1 evy. She added that the increase is largely due to changes by State Legislature requi ring cities to pay sales tax, and the planned update of the City's Zoning Ordinance. She explained that there is efficiency and savings to the City through consolidated services for law enforcement and fire protection. She added that there are n9 anticipated staffing changes in 1993, and the use of independent contractors for planning, engineering, and legal services is planned to continue. Person reported that Arden Hill s ' tax rate is the lowest compared to the Cities of Mounds View, New Brighton, Shoreview and Vadnais Heights. She explained that an individual property taxpayer's bill includes the taxing jurisdictions of city, county, school district, and other (other consisting of Metropolitan Council, Regional Transit Commission, Metropolitan Mosquito Control, Light Rail Transit, Rice Creek Watershed District, and County Library). City Accountant, Terry Post, through the use of pie charts . illustrated that total taxes payable are distributed 52% to the School District, 11% to the City, 33% to the County, and 4% to Other.

Arden Hills Council 5 November 30, 1992 UNFINISHED AND NEW BUSINESS RECEIVE RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING LICENSE AND BUSINESS FEE~ FROM THE FINANCE COMMITTEE Councilmember Malone reported that the Finance Committee has been working on a license and business fee structure for months, and has combed through ordinances in an effort to compile a list of fees, simp 1 ify the list, explore new avenues of potential revenue, and delete obsolete fees (such as license for a rendering plant which is no longer in operation) . He recommended that Council receive the Finance Committee's proposed license and fee structure recommendations and direct staff to review the structure in order to have the new fees in place at the beginning of 1993. With regard to the proposed institution of a Fire Inspection Fee, Councilmember Malone explained that the advantages to this fee would be to alert the Fire Marshall/Department of any hazardous materials that exist within the City. . MOTION: Malone moved, seconded by Hicks, to receive the Finance Committee's recommendations on license and permit fees and direct staff to review the recommendations. Motion carried unanimously (4-0). (Mayor Sather had stepped away momentarily and did not participate in the vote.) DISCUSSION - TRAFFIC ALTERNATIVES TO CLOSING T.H. 51 & OLD SNELLING AVENUE Councilmember Hicks drew attention to the minutes of the informational meeting held November 23, 1992 on the subject of T.H. 51 and Snelling Avenue Median Closing. Hicks explained that there were four alternatives presented by MnDOT for consideration, those being: l. A frontage road from old Snelling to Lydia. 2 . Reconfiguration of the intersection of Old Snelling, Hamline and T.H. 51, turning this into a right angle and opening this intersection with a signal light. 3. Permanent closure of the median. 4. Widening of the County Road E bridge. Hicks added that a comparison of traffic counts before and after the median closure indicate there has bee~ no substantial affect in traffic levels due to the closure of . the median. ------------ --------- - , Arden Hills Council November 30, 1992 . 6 Hicks stated that the City has little control over the alternatives, but it is up to the City to decide how to proceed. He suggested that Council direct the City Engineer to conduct a cursory study on alternatives #1 and #2 to assist in decision making. Councilmember Mahowald recalled that alternative #2 was not acceptable when this matter was discussed earlier. Councilmember Hicks stated that his understanding is that signaling would not be considered unless the alignment of the roads was adjusted to create right angles. It was anticipated that there may be a cost sharing of signalization costs amongst the City and other entities. City Engineer Maurer questioned the buildability of a frontage road from Old Snelling to Lydia because of wetland concerns and property issues. Councilmember Malone added that a frontage road would require the participation of the City of Rosevill e. Mayor Sather asked how long the City has to review the alternatives. Maurer said this should be done by the end of December or firs t of January. Direction was given to staff . to review and report on the alternatives surrounding T. H. 51 and Snelling Avenue median closing. COUNCIL COMMENTS PERA ACCOUN~ Administrator Person alerted the Council to the possibility of their entering into a PERA, and said more information will follow on this matter. RESPONSE TO RESIDENT LETTERS Councilmember Malone noted that Council has received a few letters recently from citizens; he asked if staff is in the habit of replying to such letters. Administrator Person stated that if letters are requesting information, etc. , replies are sent, but other letters of a commentary nature may not have received responses. Councilmember Malone asked that staff acknowledge receipt of all letters from citizens. KEITHSON ROAD Councilm~mber Malone requested that .staff send 3 lettet' to Keithson Road residents advising them as to why the City is patching that road. . , . . . Arden Hills Council 7 November 30, 1992 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Councilmember Mahowald informed that, due to a conflict, he may be a little late for the Planning Commission meeting. Mayor Sather said he would be in attendance on time, but may need to leave early. FIRE MARSHALL \ Mayor Sather reported that he and the Administrator met with representatives of the Cities of Shoreview and North Oaks to discuss plans for a Fire Marshall and received a job description and funding options information. He added that more information will soon be available, and the Fire Department wishes to work quickly toward getting a Fire Marshall on board and that he sees this as an opportunity to solidify the working relationship of the joint cities group in fire services back together. He said that a lthough the addition of a Fire Marshall may be costly in the beginning, it is expected to provide long-term benefits to all the cities involved. .

O:Jmmission would like to make it clear to applicant that a vote is not being taken, members are merely offering suggestions. * Insert Preliminary Review process as option for all types of applications and a clause which provides forwarding review materials to Council upon request. * Review procedures - Update SUllIIlIaIY action sheet for handout to applicants. * Recreational Vehicles - consider drafting a section defining boat storage and number allCMed for lakesh=e property. * Terrporary Buildings - Discussed inserting a time limit not to exceed 5 years unless applicant requests an extension. * Permitted Encr"oachments - Zoning Code booklet, VI-3 (2) b - delete retaining walls. - exterior earth retaining structures may encroach to within three (3) feet of any lot line. * CUrbing - Zoning Code booklet, VI-5 (2) c - delete and move to section VI-10. Any completed construction would be grandfathered in under =ent rules, and any new or replacement street appurtences would require concrete curbing. . Chair Probst and commission requested direction from Council to proceed and offered the folla.ring options: l. Conduct an infonnal hearing to discuss only the Recreational Vehicle amendments. plannincr co. ..... i ....ion Meet:in:l 2 12-02-92 . 2. Conduct an informal hearing to r1i<:rllSS all Zoning Code amendments. 3. Conduct an official public hearing to discuss the proposed zoning Code amendments in lieu of informal hearings. If Council prefers an official public hearing should it be held at Planning or Council meeting . Connnission also requested that Planner Bergly be authorized to prepare a diagram showing the area on which Recreational Vehicle parking would be allowed for residential properties (ie: the b.rilding envelope as defined by setbacks) . After a brief recess, Connnission reconvened for their regular meeting at 7:48 p.m. APPROVE MINU'l'!S Winiecki moved, seconded by piotrowski, to approve the November 4. 1992 Planning Minutes as sul:mitted. All voted in favor. (6-0) Cl\SE #92-21: IDr a:HlOLTnld'ICN AND MIN:R SUBDIVISICN - 0ClN1'R0L mTA SYSTlHl. DC. 4201 I.EXI!Gl'Ctl' AVENUE K:Rl'H Planner Bergly referred to his report dated December 2, 1992, relating to the applicant's request to consolidate parcels c:JNI1€d by Control Data Systems, Inc., as identified on the plat am in a written legal . description, am then re-divisions of the consolidated tract into 3 parcels, as shown on the "Lot Consolidation/SUbdivision Plan". '!he 3 resulting parcels have the following sizes (without streets): Parcel A: 4.69 Ac (NSP sub-station); Parcel B: 8.73 Ac (Potential development site - now vacant); Parcel C: 41.57 Ac (Contains the north wing of Control Data Systems b.rilding. The major purpose of the proposal is to create Parcel B so it can be developed as a single parcel. Bergly reviewed the firrlings listed in his report am e}Q:Jlained the old description of the NSP sub-station is separated fram new Parcel B by a 33 foot wide strip c:JNI1€d by Control Data. This strip W<iS presumably not included in the original sub-station tract so it could be used as the south 1/2 of a future 66 foot street. SUch a street is not n""""M for development of Parcel B nor for use by the substation. Previous divisions am transfer of 3 parcels generally located north of the central am west portions of Parcel B are not included in the proposed consolidation am minor subdivision. The Planner recornmerrled the applicant sul:mit this to the County for filing as a plat to allow these parcels to have lot numbers instead of l~y legal descriptions; this would allow a cleaner definition of the property. Bergly noted there are three ponding areas shown on the property to be . dividedi one on the sub-station lot; one near the NE =er of Parcel overlapping both Parcel A am Bi one in the east central area of Parcel C. These three wetlands am possibly others will need to be delineated on the ground by a qualified wetland delineator am shown on the plat according to RCWO regulations, together with any utility am drainage easements . Planning' Calmission Meet~ 3 12-02-92 . Bergly noted that Control Data Systems is advising the proposed purchaser that Park de:lication fees will be required for any development that oocurs on this site. He noted on canunercial sites usually Park Dedication is attached to an application for develqment rather than as part of the platting or lot division action. Bergly explained that street right-of-way is in:licated by a dashed line on the plat, l::ut is not included in the property des=iptions. There are currently easements provided for the aJ:utting streets. 'Ihese should be shown as right-of-way de:lication on the plat am not included as part of the lots. Planner Bergly reconnnended the following actions: 1. That the proposed division be prepared in the form of a Final Plat for signatures by the City am filing with the County. 2. Parcels A, B, am C shall not include the RaY of aJ:utting streets either in the delineation on the plat or in the legal des=iption. 3. utility am Drainage Easements shall be shown on the plat. 4. Wetlands shall be delineated on the plat in accordance with a qualified wetlam delineator am RCWD regulations. 5. Park dedication fees shall be resolved either in the platting stage or as part of the Development Agreement. Olair Probst asked Jon Peterson, Towle Real Fstate agent representing Control Data, if there is a need for aa::essby a private street. Mr. Peterson . in:licated there is no need for an access easement with this prcposal. Mr. Peterson introduced Lloyd Pew, the surveyor am asked Mr. Pew to speak. Mr. Pew stated as there are no developnent issues at this time am no proposal to alter anything, therefore, all issues relating to development of this parcel should be deferred until a plan is suhnitted. He stated the applicant is requesting to clean up the legal des=iptions and file a deed at Ramsey County . winiecki stated the issue of the required easements should be addressed am questioned the accuracy of the survey. Mr. Pew stated the survey is =t. Petersen questioned the t:i1ne differential between processing a plat am minor sub-division. Mr. Pew stated it may require up to 3 months to process a plat versus filing a deed within one month. winiecki questioned the hardship of the short t:i1ne frame involved for these des=iption changes. Walt Seiler, Control Data Facility Manager, sp:lke am stated that Control Data Systems, Inc. is in no way affiliated with Control Data Corp. am they became a new corporate entity this summer. Mr. Seiler stated the sale of this property"in the first quarter of 1993, would provide the canpany the opportunity to show a profit in lieu of a short fall. Mr. Seiler introduced the company attorney, Jim Bellandi. Mr. Bellami stated he spoke with Attorney Filla this afternoon to discuss the platting recommendation. He stated that during discussions with Attorney Filla, it was . his understanding that a revised legal des=iption would be in compliance with City regulations since this is an application for a minor subdivision. Pl ,,1m h'lq n ..... i Asion Meetillq 4 12-02-92 Erickson requested Planner Bergly clarify the storm drainage am public . easements . Bergly did so am also referred to Engineer Mark Graham's letter of November 25 which is included in the Planner r s report of December 2, 1992. Mr. Graham recxmunends that an easement be delineated around these porx:ls which meets the requirements of the Rice Creek Watershed District. Mr. Graham felt it is conceivable that the porrlon Parcel B may be ilnpacted by development. These ponds do not appear to be protected wetlands, J:ut this should be verified by Control Data am shown on the plat. Winiecki moved, secorrled by Petersen, to recommend to Council approval of Case #92-21, lDt Consolidation am Minor Subdivision, with conditions 2 thru 5 outlined un:l.er the recommendations in the Planner's report of December 2, 1992, with clarification that the wetlam easements are to conform with Rice Creek Watershed District requirements am that utility easements are to be confonning with the requirements of the City Engineer. DISCUSSICti: 01'HER PLl\NNnlG :ISSUES Zoning Administrator Iago discussed a request from Scherer Bros. Lumber to begin work on the bJilding foun::lation in conjunction with a propooed addition to their existing facilities, prior to site Plan Review by Planning Cormnission am Council. Iago reported that this type of request occurs frequently when applicants miss deadlines for suhnission; it was suggested that Cormnission consider a provision f= a "Special Meeting". rago indicated she would contact other COIlUllUI1i.ties to obtain information regarding this process. . DISCUSSICti OF PROkU:lJ:iU IE\Fl' OF SIGN alDrNl\N::E: As Chair Prol:st had not previously seen the proposed draft, he asked Carlson to comment on the maj= changes. Carlson reported the following: * The biggest change related to the issue of illumination. Council suggested adding Holograms to the section relating to sign movement; intent to prohibit signs where the otserver detects movement. * On Page 2 (d) add reflected by light. Bergly commented the setback for businesses was changed from 25 feet to 20 feet because of the parking setback. Cormnission requested the Planner insert m:xtifications for Council review in the next agenda packet. Cormnission requested further direction from Council am comments on the propooed Sign Ordinance. CXJUN::rL REPCRl' Council1nember Hicks informed the Cormnission of the results of the Referenchnn am Council discussion relating to the options being considered for J:uilding a new City Hall/Public Works facility. He noted the City continues to negotiate for the arsenal property between Hamline am Lexington Avenue f= these facilities. Hicks commented on possible reasons for the bom referendum failure. . plAnning OcmIIi.ssion Meeting 5 12-02-92 . He explained that Council directed staff to review finanein:)' alternatives an:l. present a report to Council at the 12/21/92 worksession. Newly elected CouncillneJnber Beverly l\plikcMski also shared camments on possible reasons for the referen:ium failure. She stated that the Citizens Committee will be reactivated. Hicks repuL ted on Council action relatin:)' to November applications. 1\OOOORN winiecki noved, seconded by Erickson to adjourn at 9:40 p.m. OIair Dennis Prol::6t . . , , CITY OF ARDm HILLS .

CITY OF ARDEN HILLS MDDlANOOM DM'E: .............-r 11, 1992 TO: Dorothy Person, city 1ldministrator FIlCH: Dan Winkel, Public Works SUperintendent j) I'J SUBJECT: Rsquest to Purcbase a Trailer Mounted Sanitary sewer Cl_n;.>g Redder Quotations were received and opened tcx:lay at 3:30 pm for a trailer mounted sanitary sewer redder. Notice was published in the New Brighton Bulletin soliciting quotes for the above specified equipment. Three complete set of specifications were sent out by request, with two quotes returned by the deadline at 3:30 pm, December 10, 1992. '!:he quotes received, not including sales tax, were from the following equipment supply dealers: 1. Flexible Pipe Tool Co. - For one sreco-Flexible Model HM-38'IR Robotic Redding Machine. $19,890-F.O.B. Arden Hills 2. A.B.M. Equipment & Supply-For one Sewer Equipment Company of Aloorica . Model 444 trailer lOClunted redder. $20,444-F.O.B. Arden Hills My review of the quotes received indicates that the specification check list suJ::mitted by Flexible pipe Tool Co. meets all of the minirnrnn standards listed in the specifications. '!:he checklist suhnitted by A.B.M. Equipment indicated at least three exceptions to the specifications. '!he 1992 I::A.1dget has $45,000 b.Jdgeted for a new chassis mounted redder. Further analysis of the comparison between a chassis IlI01.U1ted vs. a trailer roourrted unit indicates that a trailer mounted unit will meet our needs. '!his will also save approxiInately $23,800 for the 1992 I::A.1dget which remains in the sewer f1.IDd. Based on the fact that Flexible Pipe Tool Co. met all of the minirnrnn standards listed in the specifications, and also that Flexible pipe Tool has su1:rnitted the lowest quote, I recommend that the City purchase the trailer lOClunted sanitary sewer redder from Flexible pipe Tool Co. for the $19,890 quoted price. Sales tax of approxilnately $1,293 will also have to be added to this price. I would like Council to approve and authorize this purchase at the December 14, 1992 Council meeting. '!:he equipment will be ordered the following day with the delivery scheduled shortly after that. It should be noted that we are also trying to sell our existing redder truck as soon as is possible.

Iago, Deputy Clerk FROM: Mark Graham, P.E. ~ RE: Planning Case #92-21 Revisions to Control Data Lot Split DATE: December 9, 1992 FILE: 520-000-00 We have reviewed the revised submittal from Control Data regarding property north of County Road F. A 20-foot wide storm sewer utility easement has been shown in the western third of the land to be sold (parcel B). A 20-foot wide utility easement for future utilities has been added near the center of Parcel B. A small storm sewer easement is also shown in the northeast comer of Parcel B. . Two extensions of watermain with a series of water valves are shown in the western quarter of Parcel B. It is not clear what the purpose is of these numbers of water valves. We recommend seeking input from Public Works staff regarding these valves. Both John Bergly and I have discussed the pond that encroaches onto Parcel B with the attorney representing Control Data. It is our understanding that this issue was resolved at the December Planning Commission meeting. It is imperative that all persons buying property within Arden Hills be as informed as possible regarding existing wetlands and the difficulty in altering them. In summary, the revisl'.d submittal appears to show the necessary easements, unless additional easements are needed in the area of the 'water extensions and valves.
