CITY OF ARDEN HILLS, MINNESOTA , WORKSESSION CITY COUNCIL MEETING . DECEMBER 21, 1992 4:30 p.m. - CITY HALL CALL TO ORDER/ROLL CALL Pursuant to due can and notice thereof, Mayor Sather caned to order the Worksession City Council meeting at 4:30 p.m. Present: Mayor Sather (arrived at 5:30 p.m.), Councilmembers Paul Malone, Dale Hicks, and Councilmember.Elect Beverly Aplikowski. Absent: Councilmembers JoAnn Growe and Thomas Mahowald. Also present were: Clerk Administrator, Dorothy Person; Public Works Superintendent, Dan Winkel; City Accountant, Terry Post; Engineers, Terry Maurer and Mark Graham; and Citizen's Committee members Jean Lemberg and Ray McGraw. Due to the lack of a quorum initially, general review was made of the Pavement Management Program, Storm Water Utility, and TH. 51. Malone asked the Engineer to review Floral Avenue which contains cracks in the surface. The question was if it is a bigger problem, i.e.; a base soil problem. Terry Maurer will review the situation. Keithson Road residents have asked about the current temporary patching and what long-term plans are being made to address the issue of the road. The Engineer . indicated that the current patching is only a temporary solution and there would be some review of the road base and review the possibility of sealcoating in the future. He indicated further that he and Public Works Superintendent Winkel indicated that compaction is in the area of the utility lines probably due to recent years of a dry spell. The road surface is 5 years old. In Spring, 1993, the Engineer will be reassessing this issue. Storm Water Utility was reported to be worked on. The Engineer indicated that he and the City Attorney are concerned that public information be given prior to any finalizing of a plan. He suggested that information be brought to the January 4, 1993, organizational Council meeting with a tentative hearing in March. MOTION: At the January 25 meeting, the City Engineer will present a draft of the Storm Water Utility with information to be reviewed by City Council anticipating information in the February Newsletter and potentially setting a public hearing in March with possible implementation at beginning of the 2nd quarter in 1993. TH. 51 . The four options presented by the County were previously reviewed. The Engineers reported that the frontage is the most expensive and possibly not an option due to the wetlands that would need to be crossed. The Engineer had looked at the lighting of the intersection of TH. 51 and Old Snelling as the most reasonable . alternative. He indicated that MnDOT would be providing 50 percent of the funding with the County and the City providing one-fourth of the funding each unless more issues addressed such as Glenhill Road being connected. - - ----------.--....- MINUTES. WORKSESSION CIlY COUNCIL MEETING #I DECEMBER 21, 1992 \ PAGE TWO . Further discussion took place regarding the impact of this road and the turnback system. Ray McGraw indicated that as an alternative such as a viaduct or overpass be considered. Jean Lemberg and Ray McGraw indicated that the citizens in the area primarily affected during rush hours and that any study on County Road E changes and flow of traffic and volume of traffic should include these time periods. The Engineer will get further information from MnDOT as to the length of time and time of day that the study took place. He indicated that normally the County review is made during a 24-48 hour period. The Engineer also indicated the City will want a Feasibility Study if the Council decides this is the best route. It was suggested that an Informational Meeting be held with the public to get further input and opinions from additional members of the public. The Public President requested that MnDOT's perspective be reviewed in a public meeting with a representative such as Tom O'Keefe and that further information be received from the City Engineer regarding other alternatives. (Mayor Tom Sather joined the meeting at this time - 5:30 p.m.) Further information was discussed regarding the possibility of holding a public meeting on the T.H. 51 and Old Snelling crossing. Determination was made that at the January 25 meeting, the City will be prepared to discuss the alternatives. At the December 28 meeting, the City Engineer will request the City to authorize a feasibility study be completed based on the review at the Worksession with recommendations. . The Council identified at the January 25 meeting to review and debate the merits of options at this intersection. At that time, the Council will decide with proceeding with one of the options for further input from the Engineer or they will decide to request from the public at a further date. MOTION: Malone moved, seconded by Hicks, that the City recognize the Pavement Management Plan and request a Feasibility Study during the Monday, December 28 meeting. It was requested that the City Engineer, in January, discuss further the timing of a Storm Water Utility and information for a public meeting to be held in early March. And, at the January 25 meeting, have a public meeting to discuss T.H. 51 and Old Snelling public informational meeting regarding options and to request input from the public regarding impact of any of the options and to provide an opportunity to introduce further options. At this time, the Council requested additional information prior to any decision being made regarding whether to proceed and, if so, which alternative to investigate further. The Council agreed that a letter to the School District be written to request their input on any impact on signing of the T.H. 51 and Snelling Avenue. . ---------- MINUTES. WORKSESSION CIlY COUNCIL MEETING ~ DECEMBER 21,1992 J PAGE THREE . Discussion followed regarding City Hall and Public Works Facilities options. Options discussed included location site, financing alternatives, and content and design of needs. Mayor Sather indicated he would be reluctant to cash out the PIR Fund through internal payback system in order to provide further financial strength for the City. Malone indicated if PIR Funds are not used, an outside agency may be willing to lease back to the City. City Accountant Post indicated to the Council that on a lease option as a funding mechanism, the cost to the City residents is lower than through a general obligation cost. Further discussion was held regarding the site and contents of the program. The December 21 memorandum from the Architect was reviewed with the Council and the Citizen's Committee agreeing that the program that had been designed for the City Hall and Public Works Facility should continue. Hicks requested further information regarding whether the City owns the building if a lease is pursued and the TCAAP site whether there is a possibility of a lease or with a purchase to be done before the referendum is pursued as an option. Mayor Sather indicated that any lease on the TCAAP property would be a lease purchase program and that TCAAP has indicated they will be agreeing with the concept. The Mayor anticipates that this spring (1993), we will be more certain of the location and that discussions are proceeding in a positive fashion at this time. . The Architect, Jeff Ortel, indicated there are different options for cutting back on the programming space. It was also included in several questions from the community whether a metal building would be sufficient for the Public Works Building rather than precast concrete as is currently anticipated. He indicated that he has proceeded with a metal building. However, there have been negative issues of dents in the wall, being able to hang products and equipment on the wall in a metal building versus a precast concrete building which is more stable building used for those purposes. The Citizen's Committee indicated they have received calls that there is too much cost in , the building per square footage. He indicated that it was not communicated clearly that included in that were site preparation road costs and utilities. Ray McGraw indicated he would prefer to see a second referendum. He believes, generally, in the country there is a more positive outlook. He also indicated that the uncertainty of a location, he has been told, has been a negative factor in the vote of individuals. He stated that several citizens advised him further work be done with Federal officials and other citizens who would know the Federal system. Mayor Sather indicated that several contacts have been made to rekindle relationships with Federal authorities and other local governmental agencies. He indicated that Commissioner of DNR, Rod Sando, has been contacted and has a more clear . understanding of the intent of the northern portion of the TCAAP property from Hamline and Lexington Avenue - it is not intended by the City to be used for their own purposes. However, to hold it open for other issues not related to development of the land for the City's facilities. MINUTES - WORKSESSION CITY COUNCIL MEETING ~ DECEMBER 21, 1992 4 PAGE FOUR . Citizen's Committee Members Charlotte McNiesh and Beverly Aplikowski also indicated that they believe the second referendum should be pursued and that the site should be more firm before going to referendum and that the original design should continue to be pursued. The Mayor agreed to followup in early January with further discussion regarding the TCAAP property as a primary option for the location of the City facilities and will report back with springtime for a target date for finalization of the decision regarding City facilities. Review was made of the citizen committee appointments for 1993. The Council indicated that a newspaper ad should be placed, specifically, for the openings in the Human Rights Committee, and any other interested parties for other citizen appointments to other committees. Discussion followed regarding the replacement of Councilrnember JoAnn Growe. The Council indicated declaration of a vacancy should be on the Consent Calendar for the December 28 Council meeting. An announcement in the local newspaper should be made with applications to come in at the end of January, and requested Council review , at the Worksession meeting of February 8 be held with an appointment by March 1 as a deadline for the Councilmember vacancy. . Discussion was held on the Recreational Vehicle amendments to the Zoning Code. The Planning Commission was asked to hold a public informational meeting as they see fit for the Recreational Vehicle amendments with a deadline for Council review as soon as possible. Public hearings may be held if further changes are necessary. Council Comments. Hicks will not be attending the January 11 and February 22 Council meetings.

PUBLIC COMMENTS ALTERNATIVES FOR T.H. 51/SNELLING Jean Lemberg, 1401 Skiles Lane, commented that she has learned there has been some public expression of opposition to one of the alternatives for opening the T.H. 51/Snelling intersection. She said she is aware of many residents who support the opening of the intersection with signalization but have not written letters expressing their support; she asked if Council would like to receive letters from those supporters. Administrator Person reported that recently three letters regarding this issue. Councilmember Hicks commented that he would be interested in knowing the desires of the residents in the area. Councilmember Malone reminded that in earlier discussions of this issue, both sides were represented, so Council is aware that there is not unanimous agreement on this issue. Malone added that when he reviews letters from the public, he views such letters as indicative of the position of the writer (s) only, regardless of whether the letter may state that the view expressed reflects the view of an entire neighborhood or group. . .

He outlined the boundaries of the subject parcel, and boundaries and ownership of adjacent properties. Bergly stated that the lot consolidation/minor subdivision would create parcels A, B, and C. He added that parcel A is the NSP substation, parcel B would be the combination of two parcels into a long, rectangular developable lot (for which there is already a buyer), and parcel C would be an L-shaped parcel which contains the north wing of the control Data Systems building. Bergly stated that the Planning Commission has recommended . approval subject to the applicant dedicating rights-of-way where there are currently easements for abutting streets. He pointed out the location of utility and drainage easements and stated these easements have all been approved by the City Engineer. Bergly said recent State 1 egisl aUon, administered by watershed districts, requires that wetlands be defined, so Rice Creek Watershed District must review and approve wetland easements. He added that the surveyor has revised the subdivision plan and descriptions and has included all the easements as recommended by the Planning Commission, and those changes are included in the plans shown tonight. Bergly explained that conveyance of property is intended and it is recommended by the Planning Commission that the applicant be allowed to submit this to the County for filing as a minor subdivision rather than a plat. Bergly advised that the Planning Commission and staff are recommending approval of Case #92-21 with the following conditions: 1) Parcels A, B, and C shall not incl ude the rights-of-way of abutting streets either in the delineation on the subdivision plan or in the legal descriptions, 2) The City Engineer and Attorney review and approve the plan and any conveyance or easement documents pri or to filing, 3) Rice Creek Watershed District review and approve wetland .

Jim Bellandi, Attorney for control Data Systems, explained there was a lease allowing access which has expired.

Councilmember Malone asked if this property is located in an I-I zone; Bergly answered that it is in an I-I zone and he has been assured that the future intended use is appropriate in the I-I zoning district. MOTION: Hicks moved, seconded by Malone, to approve Case #92- 21, Minor Subdivision/Lot Consolidation (in the revised form viewed this evening) for control Data Systems with the conditions that: 1) The City Attorney review and approve the plan and any conveyance or easement documents, 2) Rice Creek watershed District review and approve wetland easements, . 3) Park dedication be resolved prior to development of the property, 4) utility and drainage easements be provided per the City Planner's recommendations and the Engineer's letter of approval.

MOTION: Mahowald moved, seconded by Hicks, to approve the license and permit fee changes numbered 1) through 5) above. Motion carried unanimously (5-0). APPROVE CAPITAL EOUIPMENT & AUTHORIZE CITY ADMINISTRATOR TO SIGN PROPOSALS FOR DATA PROCESS~NG PURCHASES Administrator Person stated that some time ago the City reviewed the possibility of performing data processes in- house rather than through an off-site data processing service in an effort to provide enhanced and more cost- effective service. City Accountant Post recalled that in budget worksession the matter of in-house versus off-site data processing was discussed. He stated that a determination has been made that there would be a long-term cost savings by performing data processing functions in-house. He added that implementation would require the purchase of necessary hardware and components, and it is anticipated that very moderate additional staffing would be required for . conversion, 2lfter ~~hich existi !Ig staff would perform the work. Person reported that three vendors have submitted quotes for the necessary hardware and components, and staff is Arden Hills Council 6 December 14, 1992 . requesting authorization to purchase the necessary equipment at the lowest bid for each item. Councilmember Malone asked what would be the cost of data conversion to an in-house system. Post answered that conversion is expected to cost about $500. Councilmember Hicks asked what is the anticipated cost savings. Post stated t.hat after the initial conversion costs, it is expected there would be approximately $15,000 annual savings from not having to pay the outside data processing service which would be realized in 1-1/2 to 2 years. Hicks noted that individual items are being recommended for purchase from a variety of vendors; he asked if all items would be compatible. Post replied that. the items are all compatible, and the reason for the various vendors is simply to receive the best prices. Councilmember Mahowald asked if the hardware may provide future ability to enhance other processes performed by the City. Post said the equipment would create a network, which would be an additional side benefit. MOTION: Malone moved, seconded by Growe, to authorize the City . Administrator to sign appropriate purchase agreements with the following vendors for data processing hardware and components from the 1993 budget. - Banyan Data Systems: Workstation, server, network accessories, installation and annual support $12,744.32 - OCT Systems Group: tape backup unit $ 1,805.18 - Banyan Data Systems: Software purchases for fund accounting, payroll and utility bill ings, training and annual support $10,130.03 Total $24,679.53 Motion carried unanimously (5-0) . DISCUSSION OF OFFER FOR BRUEBERRY LOT As background, Administrator Person recalled that the City 1) Received a request from Edgewater Estates Partnership, Inc. to consider selling the lot at the northwest corner of BruebeL"r}' Lane and Old Highway 10, 2) Council advertised the property for sale and received no bids from other interested . buyers, and 3) Negotiations continued with Edgewater Estates Partnership to arrive at an agreeable price. . . Arden Hills Council 7 December 14, 1992 Person reported that the final result of negotiation is an offer from Edgewater for a purchase price of $28,500 with the condition that the City incur the cost of removing the existing lift station from the subject property. She added that a 1991 appraisal of the property was $26,000 with the lift station removed. Person noted the advantage of selling the lot ,,'ould be that the buyer has a good development record with the City and intends to develop the lot consistent with adjacent townhomes development. She stated the possible disadvantage is that removing the lift station may have complications which could result in higher than expected costs to the City. Councilmember Malone commented that the subject property appears to be landlocked and its intended use by Edgewater appears to be the only reasonable use of the land. He added that since there has been no interest expressed by any other buyer, he would be inclined to finalize negotiations with Edgewater. . Councilmember Mahowald commented that in reviewing information as to comparable sales, it appears Edgewater's offer is fair and would allow for the best use of the property. He favored proceeding with the sale as negotiated. Councilmember Hicks commented that Edgewater's offer is $28,500 with no park dedication, and costs for removal of the lift station are to be incurred by the City. He said that in this ease, park dedication may not be an important consideration, but he would prefer to sell the property for $25,000 as is, making the buyer responsible to remove the 1 ift station. Person said that arrangement was considered, but the 1991 appraisal of $26,000 assumed the removal of the lift station. Councilmember Growe said this does not appear to be a prime lot and she would be inclined to accept Edgewater's offer. Mayor Sather commented that taxpayers would be better served by selling the property and having it become taxable. He added that continuity of development would also be a plus. . ---- ------------- - --------- ----------- . Arden Hills Councl 1 . 8 December 14, 1992 Councilmember Hicks asked what the developer is planning to build on the lot. Planner Bergly said he has not seen a proposal, but per code there could be two units. Zoning Administrator Iago reported she has seen a preliminary proposal calling for two units, which is consistent with existing development and consistent with the proposed new zoning ordinance. MOTION: Malone moved, seconded by Growe, to authorize the City Administrator to finalize negotiations with Edgewater Estates Partnership, Inc. for the sale of the lot at the northwest corner of Brueberry Lane and old Highway 10 for a price of $28,500 with the condition that the City remove the existing lift station from the property and waive park dedication requirements. Motion carried (4-1, Councilmember Hicks voted nay). COUNCIL COMMENTS SIGN ORDINANCE Councilmember Malone thanked staff for the memorandum outlining revisions to the proposed sign ordinance. . ~IRILMARSHALL Councilmernber Malone commented that after reviewing information, he is not convinced of justification for a Fire Marshall and would like to see more background and information on this matter. COUNCILMEMBER MAHOWALD'S FAREWELL Councilmember Mahowald advised that this would be his last meeting as he will be unable to attend the last December Council meeting. He thanked the cltizens of Arden Hills for the opportunity to serve as Councilmember, said he hopes residents realize what a good Council and staff serves the community, and stated that he is confident Councilmember- Elect Aplikowski will do a fine job as Councilmember. Mayor Sather thanked Councilmember Mahowald for his valuable service to the City and his friendship to the Council and staff. He stated that Councilmember Mahowald has been very unselfish with the giving of his time at the expense of his family, and he wished him the best. ;~UH(I~MEMBER GRO~I'S RESIGNATIO~ . Hayor Sather said he has learned that Councilmember Growe has submitted her resignation effective January 1, 1993. He said the Council 1S sorry to lose Councilmember Growe as she . . Arden Hills Council 9 December 14, 1992 has brought an added sensitivity to the Council. He asked that discussion of the matter of replacement options be placed on the upcoming worksession agenda.

CITY OF ARDEN HILLS RAMSEY COUNTY, MINNESOTA RESOLUTION 92 - 76 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF ARDEN HILLS ORDERING A PRELIMINARY FEASIBILITY REPORT IN THE MATIER OF THE 1993 PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT IMPROVEMENT WHEREAS the City has determined that it should consider improving certain property by reviewing a 1993 Pavement Management Improvement; and WHEREAS Council must first secure a preliminary feasibility study in order to consider making the improvement; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Arden Hills, Minnesota: . This matter shall be referred to Maier Stewart & Associates, Inc. who is requested to provide to the City Council a report advising, in a preliminary way, whether the proposed improvement is feasible and whether the improvement should thus be made as proposed or in connection with some other improvement and the estimated cost of the improvement as recommended.

MEMO TO: City Council for December 21, 1992 Work Session FROM: Mark Graham, Maier Stewart & Associates, Inc. DATE: December l6, 1992 RE: Possible 1993 Street Maintenance Improvements FILE NO: 520-040-10 All streets were re-rated by members of the Public Works Staff this fall. Information was input into the City's Pavement Management Computer Program and lists were generated for streets requiring seal coating, overlaying or reconstruction. The computer ratings and field comments were used to formulate these recommendations. In addition, perfonning the same type of maintenance on streets within the same area generally allows lower bid prices, since the Contractor minimizes his travel time. Following are lists that Public Works Supervisor Winkel and I developed based on the ratings, field . comments and group location of streets. We have shown the ratings and estimated construction costs. For overlay improvements in residential areas, the City assessment policy allows for assessment of 50% of the total project cost to abutting homeowners. The assessment rate in 1991 was $2.82 per front foot. We would anticipate a 1993 rate of $3.00 to $3.25. For seal coating improvements, it has been City policy to not assess abutting property owners. We would not recommend a change in 1993 to this policy. . , ' . Tn-.:.. hudgttcJ. am~~11,fur .19-J3 Sir~t rvraintcrlZb~v:;;' !l1rptu'vr;;i;:t.u~";s .~i i.O~OOO.

We recommend'bidding this group, and, if necessary, eliminating Nursery Hill Court, Nursery Hill Lane and Dellwood Avenue to remain within the budget. By eliminating these streets, the estimated cost would be reduced to $99,000. It is far prefarable to plan and notify residents of a potential assessment, then delete the work, than it is to receive favorable bids and then add streets, which would require additional public hearings.

Public Works Supervisor Dan Winkel anticipates a cost of $7,500 to $10,000. This would directly affect the scope of the overlay and seal coat improvements. We recommend that a feasibility study be ordered at the December 28, ]992 Council meeting, for the 1993 Maintenance Improvements. This will allow for the necessary public hearings prior to the 1993 construction season. MJG:db memo-040.dec . " ~t ** REV I SED ** AGENDA .
