P1.tblic Workll
Roads, Development of a long term plan to upqrade all city
streets to 32 foot widehs wieh curb and qutter.
Development ot a long term maintenance plan that
include. a schedule for fut-ure years' maintenance
. work.
Utilidell' An allllellllment of the existing capital plant in
consideration of the fact thAt IIIOSt ot it is twenty to
thirty years old. and will be in need of replacement
in anoth.. thirty Yllars or $0. we should prioritize
upgrade projects. startinq with the rebuildinq of
problem situations (e.g.. Stowe and along Lake
Johanna) . and consider wayS to better engineer the
entire SYBt.em (e.g. . the potential need .0 serve the
arsenal. and upgrade the Hamline connection with
ROseville) .
Considerat.lon of al.ernate sources for wat.er supply.
Development. of a plan to audit. and/or replace water
metering equipment on a regular basis. This should
include a plan for finding ways to more efficiently
handle meter readings.
l'Ublic Safety
Police, Serious considerat.ion of alternat.ives to the Ramsey

Fire: Serious consideraeio.~ of aleernaeives ~o Lake Johanna
Fire Department's services for fire proeection. This
lIIiqht include joint ventures with any or a combination
of ROseville. !lIew Bri<;lhton. Sprin<;! Lake park - Blaine

to ~ considered should ~ the probable need to switch

the future.
parks and RecreatioZl
parks: It'S probably ti1lle to update our master parks plan,
whiCh was authored in ehe late 70s or early 80s. This
plan updaee should ideneify ehe final configuraeion of
our parks with regard eO facilities and equipmene. as
well as our plllOs for replacing equipmene as doinq so
becomes necessary.
Recreation: Coneinued effore should be make eo market our programs
by continuinq the search for lUl1IIee needs and fillinq
them with programs T:hae have a high value to price
. relationship.
Since it lOOKS as if subsidies eo the recreaeioa
pr09rams that are funded by charitable qatllblin..
operations may be threaeened, coneinued careful
attentioZl will need to be paid to the pricioq of OUr
proqrams.
rinanc:e:
ueility Billing:
Investigate monthly and/or 'budgee" billing for
ueility accounts, perhaps including ACE debitinq of
customers' accounts.
C~ nit'; ty Develo'f"l'MAftt
ComIIlunity Development:
Actively assist in the marketing of commercial and
industrial properties in the city. This would include
"cold calling" prospects. For example, Service
MerChandise is talking about adding more stores in the
. Twin Cities, and Circuie Ciey is considering c~inq eo
town. This information is covered in the newspapers.
and it wouldn't hure to have s~eone call these firms,

RE: SNELLING AVENUE RIGHT-OF-WAY VACATION
Dear Ms. Person:
As requested by the City Council, we have investigated the issue of vacating additional right-of-
way along Snelling Avenue in the event that the roadway is turned back from Ramsey County
to the City of Arden Hills. In conducting this analysis, we considered the following items.
. A. CITY UTll..ITIF:S
City records indicate that there is watermain along the east side of Snelling Avenue which
would fall outside of an SO-foot right-of-way if the remainder were to be turned back.
The sanitary sewer records indicate that in the same two locations on the east side and
one long block on the west side, there is sanitary sewer that, once again, would fall
outside of an SO-foot right-of-way.
B. OTHER UTILlTIFS
We have contacted NSP-Gas, NSP-Electric, U.S. West, and North Central Cable
Television inquiring about the location of their utilities along Snelling Avenue. All of
these companies have indicated their utilities are very close to the existing roadway. This
would seem to indicate that if right-of-way beyond the SO-foot center would be turned
back, their utilities would fall within this area.
C. VACATION PROCESS
We have briefly discussed the legal process to accomplish a vacation of road right-of-way
with Attorney Filla. There certainly would be some City cost associated with going
through a turnback process. This would include public notification, the holding or a
. public hearing, describing of the actual right-of-way to be vacated, and ultimately filing
those documents with the County. The question associated with incurring these costs is
whether there is a return to the City. Perhaps there would be a return in the form of a

slightly increased tax base by increasing property values along Snelling Avenue due to the
larger lot areas. However, there may be resistance through the public hearing process
from the property owners adjacent to Snelling Avenue who already enjoy the use of this
wide right-of-way without paying any increased taxes.
There is also a legal process the County could go through to turn back the additional
right-of-way. An option the City could consider would be to agree to take back Snelling
Avenue from Ramsey County but only after a vacation process has been completed by the
County.
D. PLANNING ISSUES
We have met briefly with City Planner John Bergly, to discuss issues relative to planning
associated with the turnback of additional right-of..way. A brief review indicated that
there did not appear to be many opportunities for creating additional lots due to any
tumback of right-of-way. In essence, the existing lots along Snelling Avenue would just
. get larger.
After our review, we believe that the locations of the City's sanitary sewer and watermain
facilities create the situation which does not allow for a uniform vacation of the additional right-
of-way along Snelling Avenue. The only areas that could easily be turned back without creating
situations where easements would have to be acquired to cover these utilities are somewhat hit
and miss along the length of the road. This leads us to a recommendation to do nothing with the
additional right-of-way. If, in fact, the City did want to pursue the vacation of the excess right-
of-way in locations where there was no conflict with City utilities, we would recommend that the
City ask the County to go through the vacation process prior to turning back the roadway to the
City. This would save the City the expense of going through this process.
If you have any questions, I will be available at Thesday evening's workshop.
Sincerely,
MAlER STEWART & ASSOCIATES, INC.

CITY COOPERATION, PARTICIPATION AND ASSISTANCE
The City will cooperate fully with the Developer in order to
achieve the development objectives for the Redevelopment
Property consistent with the Concept Plan and the terms and
conditions of this Agreement. In addition, the City will
make tax increment financing assistance available for
proposed development. The parties contemplate that a
flexible tax increment financing program will be utilized
whiCh would permit either "up front" or "pay as you go" tax
.
7
. increment assistance for development. The approach to be
utilized will depend on the circUlllstances related to any
particular transaction, with the intent that "up front" tax
increment financing assistance would be utilized only in
situations where the "pay as you go" approach would not
effectively secure the development opportunity, or provide
sufficient immediate funds to permit development as
contemplated. In either case, tax increment financing
proceeds would be applied to the following items in the
following priority:
(a) To defray the expense of public improvements associated
with and necessary to support the development
contemplated on the Redevelopment Property;
(b) To reimburse the Developer for qualifying development
costs, including land write-dOwn; and
(c) Any excess funds following payment of the foregoing
expenses would be distributed to the City for
application and distribution in such manner as the City
would deem appropriate.
The parties acknowledge and agree that the level of
. assistance available will be controlled and determined by
the level of development which occurs. with respect to any
particular transaction, the parties agree to cooperate in
the formulation, preparation and execution of any and all
docUlllents necessary to effectuate the purposes and intent
herein stated.
ART:ICLE V.
EXCLUS:IVE DEVELOPMENT R:IGHT
During the term of this Agreement, the City agrees that the
Developer shall have exclusive tax increment financing
supported development rights with respect to the
Redevelopment Property and that tax increment assistance or
other City financial assistance will be provided only with
respect to development of the Redevelopment property in
which the Developer is involved. In this connection, the
city agrees that the Developer will have the right to
develop all or any portion of the Redevelopment Property
subject and pursuant to the following terms and conditions:
.
8
. (a) In the event the Developer successfully markets a site
within the Redevelopment Property for development, the
City will, consistent with the terms, conditions and
requirements of this Agreement, fully cooperate with
the Developer in order to facilitate development as
contemplated by this Agreement;
(b) In the event the City is contacted regarding or
otherwise becomes aware of development opportunities or
prospects that may be appropriate for the Redevelopment
Property, the City shall immediately notify Developer
thereof and shall refer any prospects or inquiring
parties to Developer;
(c) The City will not permit, approve or authorize
development on the Redevelopment property which is
inconsistent or incompatible with the type and
character of development shown on the Concept Plan and
contemplated by this Agreement.
The foregoing exclusive development rights are not intended
to limit independent land owners from developing their
properties, but rather is intended to restrict availability
of tax increment financing assistance for such development,
unless Developer is involved as the developer in any such
... transaction.
The city further agrees that, during the term of this
Agreement, it will not create another tax increment district
for commercial/ industrial development within the city, nor
provide other forms of city financial assistance for
commercial/industrial development on sites other than the

creativity and flexibility, regulations,
such as side and rear yard building and
parking setbacks, FAR, number of parking
spaces, percent of landscape area, etc.,
may be modified for individual parcels
and interior lot lines. However, the
regulations for these same items must be
met for the total mixed-use or single-
use project area and exterior project
lot lines.
(b) Minimum building size. To accomplish the
scale of development consistent with the
defined purpose of the GB District, the
minimum ground floor area of a building other

3 0.5 [.35) .30
2 0.4 [.35) .30
1 [0.3) 0.35 [.35) .30
Project FAR = FA Bldg. 1 + FA Bldg. 2 = FA
Bldg n divided by A
Where FA = Total floor area in square feet
n = Total number of buildings
A = Project area in square feet
.
6
. (d) Building height and setback. To accomplish
the intensity and scale of development
consistent with the defined purpose of the GB
District, multistory buildings will be

encouraged to provide visual transition.
This applies to both mUlti-building
complexes and single buildings.
3. The location of buildings relative to
their heights will consider views and
relationship from within the GB District
and from public and private areas off
the site.
4. Minimum building setback requirements
are fifty (50) feet from all streets and
exterior project property lines and
. twenty (20) feet from all interior
property lines except that interior lot
line setback requirements may be
modified by the city in the project
review process if specific conditions of
the project plan justify modification.

building height and shall be expressed
. as the minimum number of total caliper
inches required per building site.
a. Minimum total caliper inches =
Gross square footage of all floors
of building divided by 320.
b. The minimum total caliper inches
shall contain the following minimum
percentages of trees in various
size ranges:
Bldg % of Trees of Various
Height Caliper Inches
(in

.
8
. c. Coniferous trees may be considered
equivalent "to the sizes shown by
dividing the coniferous tree height
in feet by 2.4.
(f) Building exteriors. The appearance of
buildings is the most important visual
component in land development. Accomplishing
the stated purpose of the GB District
requires particular concern for building
design:

encouraged, and a signature building is
considered desirable.
(g) Parking. Parking requirements contained in
subsection VIE(l) shall apply. However,
these requirements may be adjusted by the
city in the project review process if the
changes will more effectively accomplish the
stated purpose of the GB District and SUbject
to the following:
1- Parking structures shall maintain the
setbacks required for principal
structures.
2. The exterior finish of parking
structures shall be compatible with the
principal building served by the parking

. total number of spaces in a project does
not meet the required number of spaces,
the applicant shall show to the city's
satisfaction that the peak parking load
will not exceed the number provided.
Such reduction in parking may limit the
type of future occupants or may require
expansion of parking if the parking need
increases. Combined or joint parking
shall be reasonably related to the
destination of the user.
(h) Traffic impact study. The city has
determined that the traffic capacity of the
interchange at I-35W and State Highway 96
will impose limitations on traffic generated
within the GB District. In order to maintain
the functional capacity of the area road
system, both internal and external traffic
and parking plans and traffic generation
studies prepared by registered traffic
engineers will be required for all projects
within the GB District.
During the project and site plan review
process, the city will review a project plan
. or site plan and determine the allowable
development intensity based on the following
guidelines:
1- Improvements to the I-35W ramp
intersections with Highway 96 and the
realignment and intersection
improvements of Round Lake Road West as
it intersects with Highway 96 will allow
development in the GB District that will
produce a maximum total of one thousand
five hundred (1,500) outbound peak p.m.
traffic-hour trips.
2. A roadway along the southerly border of
the GB District that would connect Round
Lake Road West with Old Highway 10 would
allow additional development that would
produce up to fifty (50) additional
outbound peak p.m. traffic-hour trips.
3. A bridge across I-35W at approximately
14th Street that would connect Round
Lake Road West with C.S.A.H. 77 in New
.
11
. Brighton would allow development that
would produce up to two hundred fifty
(250) additional peak p.m. traffic-hour
trips.
4. Development producing additional peak
p.m. traffic-hour trips would be allowed
if travel-demand management strategies
are implemented by developers and
businesses in the GB District.
5. Developers in the GB District and the
city may be required to provide
financial assistance for transportation
infrastructure improvements. Tax-
increment financing will be utilized as
available in providing such financial
assistance.

(subsection VIIIG) that shows the
location, type, size and design of the
individual signs.
2. Deviation from the standard regulations
shall be allowed only after the
applicant demonstrates and the city
concurs that the deviation is essential
to further the purposes of the district.
(j) Lighting. Exterior lighting shall be
provided for the safety and convenience of
occupants and visitors:
1. The source of illumination shall be
hooded, concealed or controlled in a
manner so as not to be visible from

management plan must be submitted for each
project in the GB District. The plan must be
approved by the Rice Creek Watershed
District, other agencies as required and the
city engineer:
1. Onsite ponding is encouraged as a visual
and functional amenity.
2. Two (2) or more projects may coordinate
their water management plans for their
mutual benefit.
. (m) Utility lines. provision for underground
utility lines shall be required in all
development within the GB District.

COUNTY ROAD I RECONSTRUCTION
I IIAHLINE AVENUE TO TRUNK !D:GBVAY 49
PROPOSED PROJECT
. ~e segment of County Road I between aamline Avenue and Trunk Highway 49 is proposed to be
reconstructed to an urban type section with storm sewer, curb, and gutter. The road would
be 52 feet wide at the intersections of Ramline Avenue, Lexington Avenue, and Trunk Highway
49 utilizing a four lane design consisting of four 12 foot travel lanes and two feet of
curb and gutter. The 52 foot section would taper to a 40 foot section beyond the major
intersections. The 40 foot design would consist of two 12 foot travel lanes and two eight
foot shoulders consisting of six feet of b1tWllinous and two feet of curb and gutter. An
eight foot bitWllinous path is proposed for the north side of County Road I between Snelling
Avenue and Lexington Avenue. Retaining walls may be required at some locations on the north
side of County Road I to accommodate roadway construction. Parking would be prohibited.
NEED
The surface of County Road I from Hamline Avenue to Trunk aighway 49 is eroded, cracked,
and patched. The base and sub-base are .'inadequate for current traffic conditions. The
existing road width and travel lane provisions are not. in accordance \lith accepted
standards. There are drainage problems on some sections of the road. There are limited
- bicycle and pedestrian facilities located on this portion of County Road I.
COSTS
The estimated cost for the reconstruction of County Road I from aamline Avenue to Trunk
aighway 49 is $2,830,400. Ramsey County funds will pay for approximately 80% of the total
reconstruction cost. Assessments to benefiting property owners for non-roadway work will
be determined in accordance with the assessment policies of the cities of Arden Hills and
eShoreview when construction plans are complete.
RIGIrr OF IfAY
