DRAFT MINUTES CITY OF ARDEN HILLS, MINNESOTA REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING December 13, 1993 7:30 P.M. - Mounds view High school Cafeteria CALL TO ORDER/ROLL CALL Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, Mayor Sather called to order the regular City Council meeting at 7:30 p.m. Present: Mayor Sather; Councilmembers Beverly Aplikowski, Dale Hicks, and Paul Malone. Absent: Councilmember Dennis Probst; Also present were: city Accountant, Terry Post; Community Planning coordinator, Brian Fritsinger; Park Director, cindy Severtson; Public Works Superintendent, Dan winkel; City Administrator, Dorothy Person; and Recording Secretary, Renee Kaulfuss. ADOPT AGENDA MOTION: Aplikowski moved, seconded by Hicks, to adopt the . December 13, 1993 agenda as presented. Motion carried unanimously (4-0) . TRUTH-IN-TAXATION HEARING Mayor Sather opened the meeting at 7:31 p.m. for the purpose of conducting a pUblic hearing on the matter of the proposed 1994 budget/levy. Administrator Person reported that Truth In Taxation notices, in compliance with State law, were mailed to residents of Arden Hills by Ramsey County. Notices were published in the December 7, 1993 edition of the Focus News and December 8, 1993 edition of the New Brighton Bulletin. A summary report handout was provided to the public. City Accountant Terry Post presented a report showing a 1994 Budget introduction, levy comparison, allocation of a tax dollar by School District, community comparisons, tax capacity information, tax supported services, 1994 budget summary, a synopsis of personnel and contractual services. Mr. Post reported that the city's proposed 1994 levy after HACA Aid reflected a 9.94% increase over 1993 and explained what constitutes the city's levy. There is $118,750 proposed in the Capital Projects category for government buildings/facilities for existing and/or future facility capital requirements. In . addition, there is $37,409 proposed to restore the General Fund ----- ------ ------------ . . . Arden Hills council 2 December 10, 1993 balance. Mr. Post reported that Arden Hills' tax rate is lower in comparison to neighboring cities of Mounds View, shoreview and New Brighton. The Arden Hills proposed tax capacity rate of 17.078% is very close to the average rate in comparison to neighboring communities. The City's 1993 rate was 14.382%. Mr. Post commented that the November, 1993 final report on local services funding by the Governor's Commission on Reform and Efficiency (CORE) found that Arden Hills' total expenditures on basic services were 28% below the basic spending level as defined in that study. Input and comment from the audience was invited. Tom Mulcahy, 3530 Siems Court questioned whether there is a maximum levy limit. He further commented he is not interested in the City providing additional services to the community. Councilmember Malone confirmed that levy limits no longer are applicable, and this law was appealed in 1992. Councilmember Malone further commented that a major reason in the shift of collection of tax revenue to residents is due to the industrial and commercial businesses appealing to the courts for . a reduction in their valuations. Councilmember Malone addressed the restoration of the General Fund balance and explained that the City recently received the December tax settlement payment from the County which had a revenue shortfall of $100,000. He further explained that the city's outside auditors suggest that the City begin year 1994 with a general fund balance of approximately $600,000. The reason for this request is that taxes are collected two times per year and the city receives little property tax dollars from the County until July. The City therefore could in some future year, need to borrow money by April if the $600,000 balance is not initiated on January 1, 1994. Currently, the General Fund is not able to maintain a positive cashflow between receipt of these county tax settlement receipts. Councilmember Malone referred to the Pavement Management program and explained the city streets need repair. As the City ages, infrastructure needs increase and the city is budgeting for additional pavement management projects. (Councilmember Probst arrived at 7:50 p.m). Eugene Richter, 3552 Glenarden Road questioned whether the city challenges these appeals made by the industrial and commercial . -- - ----- - , . Arden Hills Council 3 December 13, 1993 businesses. Councilmember Malone stated the City has no direct input to these appeals. The County defends the appeal process, not the City. Councilmember Aplikowski commented that a taxpayer has the right to file an appeal. Mr. Richter stated he understood, however, he found that an individual resident has very little success in an appeal. Dobson West, 1149 Amble Drive questioned which businesses in Arden Hills have actually filed an appeal. Mr. Post stated this list includes properties such as Land 0' Lakes (Corporate), MSI (Corporate) , Arden Plaza, pine Tree Drive office buildings and the Dunlap area between the Grey Fox and Red Fox Roads. councilmember Probst commented one reason the industrial and commercial businesses are requesting appeals and winning, is due to the foreclosures on the savings and loan properties. Due to the foreclosures, properties are now selling at $.10 on the dollar. Attorneys are reasoning that large corporations will have difficulty in selling their entire campus. Mr. West questioned whether Bethel and Northwestern College pay . for police and fire protection. Mayor Sather stated no, however, Bethel makes a one time per year contribution to the General Fund. In addition, Bethel is a good neighbor and allows our City, as well as other communities, to use their facilities for youth programs. Mr. West then questioned why North Oaks' rate is so low. It was noted that the streets in North Oaks are private, and average valuations in North Oaks are SUbstantially higher than the average valuation in Arden Hills. North Oaks residents receive much less service from their city as in comparison to Arden Hills' residents. Scott Tolson, 1321 Wyncrest Court requested an explanation be provided to him as to how the formula to determine how the tax capacity rate was calculated on his property tax notice. Mr. Post demonstrated how the formula determines a person's tax amount, however, Mr. Post offered to review Mr. Tolson's property tax notice after the hearing. Edward Woo, 3988 Glenview Avenue questioned whether the taxes he is expected to pay would include any anticipated future expense to road improvements on his street. Councilmember Malone stated the City could assess up to one half of the cost of the assessment for any improvements to his street. . ----- ----.--. - ---------- , Arden Hills council 4 December 13, 1993 . Councilmember Malone commented that the City is striving toward bringing in new development into the Gateway Business District area which would bring the City new revenue. In addition, he commented that if cut backs had to be made, examples of possible cut backs could be less than 24 hour patrol from the Ramsey county Sheriff's Department, or cut back on street repair which would adversely impact the street improvement program. Councilmember Malone commented that the City receives many requests for additional services, such as snow removal on the sidewalks. He further commented that he does not foresee the rate continuing to escalate in the future. Mayor Sather commented that Councilmember Aplikowski has worked to establish a new Economic Development Committee in Arden Hills and representation on this committee include businessowners in the community. Jack Toumie, 1755 County Road F W, stated his valuation has not increased in four years and does not understand his tax capacity rate. Mr. Post stated he could go over Mr. Toumie's statement after the meeting with him. Tom Mulcahy requested Council to confirm in his mind which areas . are the major changes in the budget. It was explained two areas are the funds needed for preparation of government buildings/facilities for existing and/or future facility capital requirements and the other item is the funds proposed to restore the General Fund balance. Councilmember Probst commented that the city is currently in a "catch up" mode with street improvements. The streets in Arden Hills are in need of additional maintenance and the city cannot get further behind on this process. If we would cut back on street maintenance, there would be a later need for additional street reconstruction, which is even more costly. Councilmember Probst further commented that TCAAP property represents 1/3 of the land of the City. currently the representatives of TCAAP are requesting access for sewer and water service. The City currently cannot provide this service to them due to a lack of infrastructure in the proximity of need. The Ci~y would prefer to be ready to offer services. councilmember Aplikowski commented the City is taking a pro- active approach to assist the businesses to stay healthy and develop land. . . . Arden Hills Council 5 December 13, 1993 Harry Cedarholm, 1271 Ingerson Road commented he has been a resident for 21 years and he located to Arden Hills because of the commercial tax base. He expressed his concern that the city cannot represent itself on the appeal hearings. Mayor Sather stated unfortunately, many times an appeal is heard before the city is even aware an appeal has been filed. Eugene Richter questioned whether city officials have considered merging with another city for shared services. Mayor Sather noted that the city abolished the police department and now participates in shared services for police and fire protection with Ramsey county and Lake Johanna Volunteer Fire Department. The City also participates in a shared effort for park programs. Councilmember Hicks made comment that merging with another city doesn't always reduce services. He continued to note that the total mileage of roads would remain the same and the same number of vehicles such as trucks, snowplows, and sweepers would be needed. There could be a reduction in employees, but this would be minimal. Any merging with neighboring cities would financially benefit them, however, not Arden Hills. State Senator Linda Runbeck introduced herself and stated that . 85% of the tax statement is allocated to the School District and County. She further commented that the City of Arden Hills receives no Local Government Aid funding and is an extremely efficient city. Senator Runbeck questioned whether the City has ever considered joint planning sessions with the School District and the county. Mayor Sather explained that many joint planning sessions are ongoing between the County, the Army Reserve, and the National Guard to negotiate a shared public works facility. Benefits of a shared facility could be salt/sand storage, recreational programs and shared office space. In addition, current ongoing discussions include continued use of park tree programs, police and fire services. Senator Runbeck urged the residents to write to their Senators and Legislative Representatives. This is an election year and there is a major property tax reform being proposed this upcoming session that would prohibit excessive expenditures. Hearing no further comments, the Mayor and each Councilmember reflected on the budget sessions held over the past several months, addressing their individual reasons for recommending the 1994 budget as proposed. The city Council believes this budget has been reduced as much as possible, however, will continue to . . Arden Hills Council 6 December 13, 1993 . provide for the services they understand the citizens have requested. In addition, the fund balance has begun restoration and this budget establishes a fund for city facilities. The Pavement Management fund allows for City streets to continue to be reconstructed and improved. The hearing closed at 9:00 p.m. A fifteen minutes recess was called. The meeting reconvened at 9:15 p.m. PUBLIC HEARING - CONTINUANCE OF ASSESSMENT HEARING REGARDING 1993 ARDEN PLACE DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT and PUBLIC HEARING - FINAL ASSESSMENT ROLL & COST ALLOCATION IN THE MATTER OF 1993 ARDEN PLACE DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT Mayor Sather advised the Council that the cost sharing agreement between Noyed, Bauer, and Bongard and the city has not been finalized as of this date. Staff will continue to work with all parties to resolve the issues that remain . outstanding. Mayor Sather commented that since the cost sharing agreement for the Arden Place private/public drainage improvement had not yet been finalized, it would be prudent to continue both public hearings that had been SCheduled to take place this evening. There were no public comments. Council concurred. APPROVAL OF COUNCIL MINUTES Malone moved, seconded by Hicks, to approve the minutes of the November 29, 1993 Regular Council Meeting as prepared.

UNFINISHED AND NEW BUSINESS UPDATE ON RETROCESSION City Administrator Person commented that today she received a copy of an agreement between the Army and the Spring Lake Park Fire Department. The agreement is signed by an officer of the Army. As this agreement was only received today prior to the meeting, Ms. Person asked the Council if she could review the contract in detail and readdress this item at a later date. The Council concurred. 1994 UTILITY RATE ADJUSTMENT AND RECOMMENDATION . Ms. Person referred to a revised memo received this evening relating to the recommendation of the 1994 Utility rate adjustments and recommendation. To be consistent in the process of establishing rates, a correction was made to the recommended rate increase. Council concurred with the process being consistent with past practice.

She stated that all parties involved are aware of the city's effort to begin strategic planning of this area. It is critical at this time for the Army to begin disbursement of this water, and due to a timeliness issue, staff is recommending that this agreement be approved. Councilmember Malone concurred with staff's recommendation and further stated that there is a statement in the agreement that at such time when the city extends this infrastructure TCAAP sewer customers agree to connect to the Arden Hills system. Councilmember Probst concurred and stressed the importance to proceed with infrastructure planning for the future. He further commented on the need for funds in the Arden Hills budget to be available when the time would come to begin any development of this property. Mayor Sather indicated his concern that Arden Hills is not prepared to offer these services to the Army. He stated that Arden Hills needs to be in a position of servicing all in Arden Hills, including TCAAP. Several similar requests have been made from adjoining cities where the City of Arden Hills was unable to assist. Arden Hills needs to prepare its infrastructure for all services to its businesses and . , . . Arden Hills Council 9 December 13, 1993 and residents, including TCAAP.

REVIEW OF 1994 APPOINTMENTS Administrator Person reminded the Council that recommendations will be order at the first meeting of 1994 for Consultants and . Commission Chairpersons.

Mayor Sather noted that since staff uses the consultants more often than Councilmembers, staff should recommend to Councilor research other available services and bring their recommendations back to Council.

STRATEGIC PLANNING COMMITTEES Administrator Person requested Council's preference for the next step in the strategic planning process for Committees. Mayor Sather expressed his views of the role of the Chair, the members, the staff liaison and the Council liaison: The Committee Chair should represent the strength of the . -- . .

He further stated that the formula and math used to compute the rate may not be appropriate for this property when looking at less density, and less runoff. There is more land than other townhome properties, however maximum buildout should be a consideration.

I do not think it is something we should be charged for. The 8.57 acre swamp gets water run off from Roseville, Arden Hills and Lake Josephine. I think we should charge the above for using the acreage as a dumping . area for all this water, which has caused damage to our tennis court we put in on one very small corner off Ridgewood Road. I would greatly appreciate someone looking into this as soon as possible and we will be happy to discuss the problem with whoever-rs-an authority on the situation. Thank you, Mrs. C. E.

We asked you and the council members to consider our views on the surface water runoff utility fee. This was our appeal to the surface water runoff fees voted on by the council earlier this year. My name and number were on the letter. I have received no response to the surface water runoff fee charged for townhouses in Arden Hills. Our business manager did get a phone call from Terry Post, who is an accountant for the city, stating that this is the way it . is done in Roseville. Roseville has no townhome communities in Roseville that are as low density as ours. We have less than 5 homes per acre, the average home size is considerably smaller than the neighboring single family homes, our shared driveways have less paving per acre than single family homes, and we already have four privately owned ponds for retaining rain water. We do have private roadways that are paved but, if we were single family units, the roadway acreage would be subtracted from the formula. Do we pay city engineers to determine what Arden Hills should do by calling up Roseville? The townhouses in my community are being charged 77% more than families in single family homes. We do not have the time and money to make an appeal as outlined in your ordinance concerning these charges. It is plain to see if the engineers or someone on the council would take the time to look. I would be glad to show you and/or other members of the board what I am talking about. I have lived in my home for 16 years. This fee schedule is of particular concern to me because townhome residents are a minority in this community. I can't help but think this would not happen if we were a larger, more vocal group. It also bothers me that the townhomes have a higher percentage of people on fixed incomes, single parent households and lower income families - yet we are . asked to pay more than other city residents. . I request that the fee be changed to more equitably reflect the need for surface water management services where I live. I have enclosed a copy of information I have obtained from other communities. I did not include Roseville which bases its fee for townhouses by the acre. The use of a charge per acre penalizes low density developments that do not contribute as much runoff as a high density development. I am aware that requests for fee changes are to be made prior to the end of October. I consider the letter sent on July 17, 1993, to be that request. This letter is a follow-up to that letter. Please call me at 636-7303 if you have questions or would like to meet to discuss my request. SincerelYC '\J. Av-.-t C-r/ Cu.fJ V\/ one E.

Additional Information on Fees Charged Single family homes will be charged $3.98/unit per quarter. Residents of the Townhouse Villages of Arden Hills Homes Association and Arden Hills North Homes Association will pay $7. 03/uni t per quarter. Residents in these communi ties pay seventy- seven percent more than residents of single family homes. Each year we will pay $3733.20 more than if we lived in a development of single family homes. The following is a utility cost comparison with other communities in this area: Single Townhome Dollar Percent Family (per unit) Difference Difference Bloomington 5.50 2.53 -2.97 -54.00% Burnsville 3.00 2.40 -0.60 -20.00% Eagan 5.00 4.00 -1.00 -20.00% Shoreview 4.95 5.25 0.30 6.06% Vadnais 4.50 4.50 0.00 0.00% Heights . Woodbury 7.50 6.00 -1.50 -20.00% Average 5.08 4.11 -0.96 -17.99% Most communities we contacted have established a flat fee for townhome units. Arden Hills has set a rate per acre for townhome developments; this means that lower density developments will pay a much higher rate per unit. Roseville and North st. Paul also use a rate per acre. However, it is doubtful that townhome residents in those cities pay as much as we do; we could not find a townhome community that has less than five homes per acre as we do. The fee is based on the volume of storm water runoff and the formula used includes the approximate percentage of impervious surface on the property; impervious surface includes the roof area of each home and paved areas. We were told that the fee for townhouses is greater because of .the greater percentage of impervious surface on the property used for drives and parking areas. It seems reasonable that a per unit fee would be more appropriate since lower density housing would mean a lesser percentage of impervious surface. .

As the property does contribute storm drainage to . the Lake Johanna storm drainage system, it is appropriate that the property owner is assessed a fee. As noted on the enclosed exhibit, a ditch traverses the property from the SU~vEYrNG north end to the northwest comer where it flows directly into Lake Johanna. rqJF.-;C According to city staff, this ditch has always contained some amount of water, indicating either that the swamp is discharging to the lake or that the swamp is acting as a TRJ.,\'SPORTA!.'ON "backwater" for the lakes drainage system. In either case, it is appropriate that the property is assessed a surface water maintenance fee as it contributes run off to the City's storm drainage system during periods of precipitation. Additionally, the swamp utilizes city maintained drainage ways, ditches and piping to maintain its water level and drain into Lake Johanna. The property is currently assessed as undeveloped although is does have a tennis court in the southwest comer. This results in an assessment of $5i.l4 per quarter for the 8.57 acrea property based upon the adopted ordinance. 1326 Energy Park Dme The property owner appears to. be appealing any assessment of the property under the St. Paul, MN 55108 SWM ordinance. This broad based appeal should be rejected because the property clearly 612-644-.\389 contributes runoff to the City drainage system. Fax: 612-644-9446 . 9800 shelard Parkway Mino",poIi..

M~ - November 2, 1993 CO~SlUUG ENGINEERS File No: 520-000-00 Mr. Dan Winkel City of Arden Hills 1450 West Highway 96 Arden Hills, Minnesota 55112 RE: ALPQ FOODS DRAINAGE ISSUE STORM WATER MANAGEMENT FEE CIVil ENG!NEE~JNG Dear Mr. Winkel: ENVlRCN,'\l1tN'A[ As per our discussions on both October 28, 1993 and November 2, 1993, MSA Consulting Engineers has reviewed the topographic surveys presented to the City of Arden Hills by V,UNIC!PAl the referenced property owner. Additionally, an MSA engineer and the city of Arden Hills' Public Works Supervisor visited with the property owner on December 3, 1993. ~~:'NNi~~G Based upon documentation presented to MSA, it appears that the land owner is disputing the Storm Water Management (SWM) fee of $337.06 which was assessed to the 6.73 acre . ST.!UCTU!Ai parcel. According to the SWM policy, developed property is to be assessed at a rate of $50.75 per quarter per acre. Based upon this fee rate and an area of 6.73 acres, the SU,~VEYING property should receive a SWM fee of $341.55 per quarter. :~:~',::c It appears from Mr. Harvey Stewart's letter dated August 24, 1993, he feels that the property not covered by building or pavement is not developed. This issue was explained to Mr. Stewart during our meeting on December 2, 1993 and although he does understand ~~A,".sP:::,:t.J ;,'CN the policy, he does not agree with it. However, even though the property may not be developed to the fullest extent possible by definition, the parcel is considered developed property. In a second letter dated October 21, 1993, Mr. Harvey indicated that he may be of the opinion that the southern portion of the property (which had been sold to Cardiac Pacemakers) was being assessed a SWM fee to be paid by Alpo Foods. Based upon calculations completed by MSA, it appears that this is not the case and that the only property he is being assessed a SWM fee for is the actual Alpo Foods property. 1326 Energy Park IlrWe There is a small wetland area within the A1po Property which does receive greater than SI. Paul, MN 55108 20% of the property's runoff; however, it is only approximately 2,500 square feet in area 612.64.4-4389 with an approximate volume of 5,000 cubic feet. Therefore, the capacity of this small wetland area will be exceeded by the one-year storm. To simplify this issue, the small Fax: 612.644..9446 wetland would overflow onto adjacent properties on a regular basis based upon standard . 9800 Shelard Parkway storm drainage calculation practices. Based upon the regular overflow, this small wetland does not qualify for the reduction allowed in the City's SWM ordinance. Minneopolis, MN S5A41 612.5.I6-o4.l2 Fax: 612-544-6398 ~ . Page Two Alpo Foods SWM Appeal December 22, 1993 Again, Mr. Stewart did appear to understand the policy and how the numbers presented to him were arrived at; however, he did not agree with the policy in principal. Based upon the items addressed above, it appears that the $337.06 per quarter SWM fee originally assessed the Alpo Foods property was correct and that the appeal for a reduction in fees should be rejected. Please contact our office if you have further questions or require additional research into this matter.

DATE: December 22, 1993 j SUBJECI': StOlJIl Water Appeals for Pentc:m Townha:nes The "south" Horreown.ers Association for the Pemtcm Townhcmes have also sent in an appeal for the assessed storm water rates. To date, staff has received only a letter outlining concerns about how the rate was established. The hcrreowners feel they should be assessed an incli vidual resident rate rather than the low density multiple dwelling rate that was used. CillTently the townhouse area is zoned R-3 and is considered low density. The entire townhouse area is s~iced by a series of srrall ponds and storm sewer pipes that [!Dve a rrajority of water in a south and westerly direction. Staff is waiting for additional inforrration fran the Townhome Association regarding this appeal. The CUJ:Tent R-3 low density zoning has a rate of $32.48 per acre. The fee calculation for the Pemtcm Townhouses are as follows: . Total Acreage 70.52 acres Minus acreage of public roads 4 . 72 acres Number of Townbcmes 306 units Quarterly fee per acre $32.48 Fee calculation: (70.52-4.27) X $32.48 / 306 = $7.00 per unit per quarter It is my understanding that the townhcmes request for their appeal be heard at the January 20, 1994 Council Worksession.

Rev 3/93 STATE OF MJNNESOTA ( COUNTY OF RAMSEY CITY OF ARDEN mLLS ORDINANCE NO. m AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING A SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT UTll..ITY . The Arden Hills City Council ordains that Article V and its subdivisions are hereby added to Chapter 28 of the Arden Hills City Code to read as follows: Article V. Surface Water Manangement Utility Division I. Generally SECTION 28-162 GENERAL OPERATION: The Municipal Surface Stonn Water Runoff system shall be operated as a public utility (hereinafter called the surface water management utility), pursuant to Minnesota Statute Section 444.075, from which revenues will be derived subject to the provisions of this Chapter and Minnesota Statutes. . SECTION 28-163 DEFINITIONS: A. Utility Factor. The utility factor is defined as the ratio of runoff volume, in inches, for a particular land use, to the runoff volume, in inches, for a 1/3 acre residential lot, assuming a 2" rainfall and Soil Conservation Service (SCS) "Type B" soil conditions. B. Surface Water Mana!<ement Fee. The surface water management fee is defined as the quarterly charge developed for each parcel of land pursuant to City regulations and zoning classifications and shall be established by City Council resolution. C. Ouarterlv Surface Water Mana!<ement Utility Bud!<et The quarterly surface water management budget is the estimated quarterly expenditures for planning and inventories, capital expenditures, personnel and equipment and operation of the surface water utility, in accordance with established City policy. This budget shall be established from time to time by City Council resolution. SECTION 28-164 ESTABLISHMENT OF FEES . Surface water management fees shall be established by City Council resolution. The following steps are taken to determine the quarterly fee to be charged to each property: Of'din042 1 of 5 . . 3 a) A calculation is made of the total area, in acres, of property zoned R-l, R-2, R-3, I R-4, I-I, 1-2, B-1, and B-2 within the City. b) A determination is made whether each individual property within these zoning classifications is developed or undeveloped. c) The total number of developed acres of property within these zoning classifications is calculated. d) The total acreage of developed property zoned as R-l, single family residential, is divided by the total acreage calculated in step C. This yields the percentage of total developed property that is zoned R-l. e) The City Council establishes, by resolution, the quarterly budget for the revenue to be generated. f) The portion of the quarterly budget to be charged against properties zone R-l is calculated by multiplying the percentage found in step d. by the budget amount in step e. g) The rate per acre for property zoned R-l is calculated by dividing the revenue for R -1 properties in step f. by the total acreage of developed properties found in step . c. This rate is the basis for all rates charged to any other zoned properties within the City. h) The volume of stonn water runoff is calculated for all properties zoned R-l, R-2, R-3, R-4, I-I, 1-2, B-1, and B-2. The methods used for these calculations follow the U. S. Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation Service guidelines for soil types common to Arden Hills. A curve number is chosen for each zoning classification, which is an approximate measure of the percentage of impervious surface on the property. The volume of runoff for each zoning classification is the calculated using the following equation. Q = rP-O.2S)2 P + O.8S Where Q = runoff, cfs S = (lOoo/cn) - 10, dimensionless P = 2, inches i) The runoff value calculated in step h. for R-l properties is considered the base rate. The runoff value for each of the other zoning classifications is then divided by the base rate to yield a utility factor for each zoning classification. This utility . factor is a measure of the additional runoff created from the property as compared to a single family lot. The utility factors for each zoning classification are listed in the following section of this ordinance. ordiD041 2 of 5 - - -- ----- --------------- . j) The rate per acre for all zoning classifications, except R-l, are calculated by multiplying the utility factor found in step i. by the base rate determined in step g. SECTION 28-165 FACTORS FOR DETERMlNING FEES FOR VARIOUS LAND USES; The utility factors for various land uses used to determine the surface water management fees are assigned as follows; Zoning Districts Land Use Utility Factor R-l Single-Family Residential (1\3 acre lets) 1.00 R-2 Single and Two-Family Residential (1/4 acre lots) 1.31 R-3 Townhouse and Low Density Multiple Dwellings 2.72 R-4 Multiple Dwelling 2.72 I-I, 1-2 Limited and General Industrial 4.25 . B-1, B-2 Limited and General Business 4.25 SECTION 28-166 ADJUSTMENT OF FEES The City Council may adopt policies, by resolution, for adjustment of the surface water management fees. Infonnation to justify a fee adjustment must be supplied by the property owner. Surface water management fees will be adjusted under the following conditions: a) Revision of Quarterly Surface Water Revenue - The estimated expenditures for the management of surface water shall be revised at a frequency specified in the ordinance. The fees will be adjusted accordingly and will follow established City procedures for this adjustment of utility (water and sewer) rates. b) Changes in Developed Conditions of Parcels c) Storm Water Retention - If it can be demonstrated that an individual parcel retains all or a portion of the rainfall that it receives, the surface water management fee will be reduced by a percentage equal to that percent of the parcel which produces no external runoff. A fee reduction of 20 percent or greater must be demonstrated. . ordiD.042 3 of 5 ---.------ . . SECTION 28-167 UNDEVELOPED LAND Undeveloped properties, without regard to zoning classification, shall be assessed at one-half the rate, charged to developed property zoned as R-l. SECTION 28-168 EXEMPTIONS The following land uses are exempt from the surface water management fee: (a) Public Right-of-Way (b) Lakes (c) Parks SECTION 28-169 MATIJNG STATEMENT OF CHARGES Statements for the preceding quarterly Surface Water Management service shall be mailed to each customer pursuant to the same procedures as listed under Section 28-57 of this code. . SECTION 28-170 FEE APPEAL , If a property owner or person responsible for paying the surface water management fee believes that a particular assigned fee is incorrect, such a person may request that the fee be recompute.

I As part of the granting requirements of the Board, we need to have signatures of all- interested parties and approved copies of resolutions to the same. The time frame for this final grant submission makes it difficult to have copies of approved resolutions from all the cities in a timely manner --.we need to'submit the final grant information by January 7, 1994.

Anthony have talked about sharing building inspection services because each city has a difficult time matching its level of staffing to swings in the level of remodeling and construction projects; and . WHEREAS, New Brighton has been able to examine remodeling and construction trends for all of the aforementioned cities over the last 5 years, researched other joint powers agreements, and examined potential staffing needs for a shared building inspection service; and WHEREAS, it is time to refine the plan, and find out if there is commitment to implement a shared building inspection service; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the city of Arden Hills, Minnesota to authorize staff to participate with the City of New Brighton, and support their efforts, to apply for a $25,000 cooperation planning grant for the purpose of asse~sing the feasibility of shared building inspection serV1ces.

CITY OF ARDEN HILLS RAMSEY COUNTY, MINNESOTA RESOLUTION NO. 93-74 RESOLUTION ENDORSING EFFORTS TO ELIMINATE UNFUNDED MANDATES Whereas, unfunded mandates on local government have increased significantly in recent years. Whereas, federal and state mandates do not consider local circumstances, costs, or capacity, and subject cities to civil or criminal penalties for noncompliance; Whereas, federal and state mandates require compliance regardless of other pressing local needs and priorities affecting the health, welfare, and safety of citizens; Whereas, federal and state burdens on local governments force cities to impose a combination of higher local taxes and fees on local taxpayers and/or reduce local services to citizens; Whereas, federal and state mandates are often inflexible, "one-size-fits-all" requirements with unrealistic time frames and overly specific and inflexible procedures where less costly alternatives may be just as effective; Whereas, the cumulative impact of these laws and rules directly affect the citizens of our cities; and Whereas, the League of Minnesota cities, in collaboration with the National League of Cities, seeks to help citizens understand and then help encourage . lawmakers to reduce the burden and inflexibility of unfunded mandates, beginning with a National Unfunded Mandates Day on October 27, 1993; Now, therefore, be it resolved that the City of Arden Hills endorses the League's efforts and those of the National League of Cities and will fully inform our citizens about the impact of state federal mandates on our local spending and taxes; Be it further resolved that the City of Arden Hills endorses this year of mandate awareness, beginning on October 27 by informing and working with members of our Congressional delegation and our state legislators to educate them about the impact of federal and state mandates and the actions necessary to reduce these burdens on our citizens.
