Ashbach for driveway access to a lot proposed for subdivision within the city of Arden Hills. We were informed that the city would not permit the subdivision until access was clearly identified. . After reviewing the proposal, Ramsey County staff recommended that the County Board consider a land exchange that provides driveway access to the proposed subdivision and results in no net loss of parkland. The Ramsey County Horne Rule Charter, section 2.02 (K) empowers the County Board to undertake this transaction; however, the County Board must hold a public hearing after first providing at least twenty (20) days written notice of the hearing date to the municipality in which the property is located and to all owners of land within 1,000 feet of the real property. Enclosed is a copy of the notice of public hearing that is being sent to all property owners within 1,000 feet of the property. Please let me know if you have questions regarding this transaction. sincfrely, ~'. . ", ~.-J Gregoi1r A\ttack Director ~ GAM/clm .

Rapp Brooklyn Park TO: Chief Administrative Official and PAST PRESIDENT Local Contact Officials Karen Anderson Minnetonka Enclosed for your reference is a complete set of 1994 AMM DIRECTORS Legislative Policy as adopted by the membership. It should Don Ashworth be noted that key issues have been designated by the Chanhassan membership and Board of Directors as extreme high priority. 8ill Barnhart They are Municipal Revenues, Metropolitan Governance and Transportation Funding. An explanation of the Minneapolis content of these areas is as follows. WilHam Burns Fridley 1- Municipal Revenues. The AMM has several high Joan Campbell priority policies which deal with this issue and are interrelated. This includes continuation of the Local Minneapolis Government Trust Fund with 2 cent sales tax funding and Jack Denzer reinstatement of the original programs for distribution Cottage Grove to cities and counties. The AMM program supports .gan continued HACA and LGA distributions with growth in the LGTF to be allncated among the various programs at their original ratio within the LGTF. The AMM also Marie Grimm supports reinstatement of the growth distribution St Paul formula for HACA. Coral Houle 2. Metropolitan Governance. A major finding of an AMM BIoominglDn study was that there needs to be an invigorated process Susan Hoyt by which metropolitan problems can be discussed and Falcon Heighis solutions implemented on a metropolitan level. The .Ieny Unk& current governance structure and authority is lacking. Mounds V'18W Policies in this area include metropolitan agency reorganization, changes in activities and appointment Joan Lynch process; election of the Metropolitan Council and Shakopee issues such as water management, housing and economic Frank Ongaro development in the metropolitan area. St Paul 3. Transportation Fundinq. Although the AMM continues to Jim P,0SS6' support dedicated funding for Highways, the Policy Richtield emphasis is on a permanent funding source for Mary Raymond Metropolitan Transit needs. If a statutory answer Deephaven cannot be enacted then the AMM would suggest a Etwyn Tinklenberg constitutional dedication of a specific source for transit or an expansion of the current Gas Tax Blajne distribution to include transit. Gene White t: Lako A copy of the Legislative program has been sent to each ECUT1VE DIRECTOR state Senator and State Representative as well as each Vern Peterson 3490 lexinglon avenue norlh, sl. paul, minnesola 55126 (612) 490-3301 < . . member city chief administrative officer and contact person. Please inform your council members of the availability of these policies and discuss the major issues. We are urging each city to invite your legislators to discuss these important issues and how they affect the residents of your community. Its necessary that all legislators understand the fiscal and social cost impact of aid cuts or service cuts on the people they represent if the LGTF is not fully funded. To assure success in this year of heightened competition for additional revenues, our legislators need to hear the message from you, their local officials.

REVIEW COMMITTEES/COMMISSION APPOINTMENTS FOR 1994 councilmember Aplikowski and Councilmember Probst have discussed the possibility of switching their Council Liaison appointments to the Public Works and Human Rights Committees. Due to conflicting scheduling, the Wednesday evening Human Rights Commission meeting is an inconvenient evening meeting for Councilmember Probst. Councilmember Aplikowski is agreeable to be the Council Liaison for the Human Rights Commission and Councilmember Probst is agreeable to be the Council Liaison for the Public Works Committee. Mayor Sather was acceptable with this arrangement and added that if Councilmembers Malone and Hicks would like to switch their designated appointments to the Finance and Planning Commissions, this too would be acceptable with him. Discussion followed and both Councilmembers agreed to remain on their currently appointed committees. councilmember Aplikowski stated she would be attending the January Public Works Committee meeting as she had agenda items . she was currently working on that she would like to complete. - ------------ , ., Arden Hills Council 2 January 10, 1994 . Councilmember Aplikowski further stated she would appreciate if any Councilmember could not attend their appointed Committee meeting, to inform the other Councilmembers. Mayor Sather commented that under Council comments any member unable to attend their designated Committee meeting, should inform the Council at that time and another member could volunteer to attend the meeting on their behalf. Mayor Sather further commented that all Committee meetings are open meetings and anyone is welcome to attend. Mayor Sather continued with the appointment of members to the committees. Mayor Sather appointed Mary Robinson, 1200 Edgewater Avenue and Rita Lafferty, 1721 crystal Avenue to the Human Rights Commission. Councilmember Aplikowski questioned who appoints the Committee Chairperson? Mayor Sather stated Planning commission and Human Rights Commission chairpersons are appointed by the Mayor. Other committee chairpersons are appointed within the committee. Councilmember Probst commented whether the Council wanted to continue in this manner with the Committee making the appointment of the chairperson. Discussion followed. Council concurred to continue the practice of allowing the various committees to vote . on their own chairpersons except for the Planning and Human Rights Commissions. councilmember Aplikowski commented she would like to receive a copy of the minutes from the various Commissions/Committees. It was agreed that staff would provide copies of the minutes to all Councilmembers. Councilmember Aplikowski questioned the responsibilities of the committee members, the committee chairperson, the Council Liaison and the Staff Liaison, and suggested that a mission statement be completed for each of the committees. In addition, she suggested that each committee set goals, and present these goals and the Mission Statement to the Council with a yearly review. Mayor Sather stated the committee should approach the Council liaison with their ideas for work projects. Councilmember Hicks commented that committee members should be encouraged, but not required to move to other committees. Moving to a different committee would broaden their experience, however, it should not be mandatory. Councilmember Hicks further commented that it is difficult to get citizen involvement in volunteering to serve on committees, therefore, we need to appreciate their commitment to serve on any committee. The . ~ . Arden Hills Council 3 January 10, 1994 individual's interest should take top priority. Mayor Sather appointed Mary Robinson, 1200 Edgewater Avenue, to the Park & Recreation Committee, if she so chooses to be appointed to both committees. Mayor Sather questioned the need to add members to the Economic Development committee. councilmember Aplikowski stated it is her intent to rewrite the resolution to declare a 9 member committee, in lieu of a 7 member committee, therefore 2 additional members would be needed. It was noted that the Planning commission and the Public Works & Safety Committee do not need any additional appointments at this time. Mayor Sather questioned whether a response has been heard from Joseph Corpstein of the Finance Committee. city Accountant Terry Post stated he had not heard from Mr. Corpstein, however, he believes he would be willing to serve on an ad hoc basis. Mayor Sather appointed Christine Leavitt, 1213 Ingerson Road, to the Finance Committee. He further noted that the Chairperson . should be appointed from within the Committee. Councilmember Aplikowski suggested that the February worksession agenda could include a "kick off" session with all the Committee/Commission Chairpersons. A basic message should be conveyed to the Chairpersons as to responsibilities, roles and expectations. In turn, the Chairpersons should bring to a worksession their Committee thoughts on goals and a mission statement. The Council suggested this be done at different intervals as not to overwhelm any given worksession. Councilmember Probst suggested to add item 5c to the January 10, 1994 regular Council agenda to ratify the Committee appointments and Council Liaison Committee appointment changes. All concurred.

Councilmember Hicks asked Dr. Thatcher in what manner does he currently advertise his business. Dr. Thatcher stated that the Yellow Pages is his only source of advertising. Dr. . Thatcher further stated that approximately 10% of his business ------------- ------- . Arden Hills Council 5 January 10, 1994 . is from yellow pages advertising, 10% from driving by and 80% from referrals. Councilmember Malone questioned whether Dr. Thatcher had approached Firstar to amend their sign to allow more space for Dr. Thatcher. Dr. Thatcher stated he had not pursued this idea. councilmember Hicks asked Dr. Thatcher if there is any potential for additional businesses to lease space from Firstar. Dr. Thatcher stated he would be the only additional tenant. Dr. Thatcher commented that he has a 5 year lease with a 3 year option.

Councilmember Malone stated that Firstar is aware of the . city's sign ordinance, and it is unfortunate they do not assist Dr. Thatcher in his need. Discussion followed and it was agreed that the applicant has not exhausted all means of obtaining signage at this location. The applicant was directed to look into other ways to obtain signage including the possibility of making application for a SUP or Variance. MOTION: Malone moved, seconded by Probst to endorse the administrative decision made by staff to deny the sign permit application, and to deny the appeal. Motion carried unanimously. (5-0) . ADMINISTRATOR COMMENTS: None noted. COUNCIL COMMENTS: Councilmember Hicks informed the Council he will be attending the Northwest Youth and Family Services board meeting. If the Council had any concerns that they would like him to address, let him know. Councilmember Malone informed the Council he attended the Fire . Benefit Association meeting this past week.

Shacker and Mr. C.E. Sheehy of an interest to donate approximately 8.57 acres of property to the City of Arden Hills. Staff has reviewed the letter and the options available in regards to accepting this donation. The property consists of primarily Type III and/or Type IV wetland as defined by the National Wetlands Inventory. The area =ists of a swarrp/p:JIJd, cat tails and scrub trees. A tennis court was constructed in 1974/1975 in the SW comer of the property. Permits fran Rice Creek Watershed and I:epartrrent of Natural Resources were obtained prior to filling the area to construct the tennis court. The area has no direct access or linkages with any existing park trails . or system. Due to its wetland delineation, the area will rrost likely remain open space. The soil =ditions present on the site make it highly unlikely that a walking trail could!:e built around the pond. !my filling of this area w:JUld rrost likely require wetland mitigation at a 2 to 1 ratio. At !:est, the area could !:e used as a passive open area for wildlife viewing. The Sheehy's have stated that the property is unbuildable. They also have stated that water occasionally flows over and under the tennis court. This creates a situation of high rraintenance costs on the courts. If acquired, Parks w:JUld recanrend rerroving the tennis courts which would !:e an expense to the City. The property is valued at $11,200 and pays annual taxes of $280.00. !m estimate to derrolish and rerrove materials was prepared by Dan Winkel. The tennis court fence w:JUld !:e considered unsal vageable and would need. to !:e disposed of at a steel carpany. The cost to the City for this project w:JUld!:e !:etween $1500-2000. (This includes in-kind laJ:or and equiprent expense.) There w:JUld !:e no l::enefit to either public w:>rks or Planning/Econanic I:eveloprent for the City to accept this property. Parks and Recreation could use the wetland area as passive open space. Should the City Council decide to accept this donation, it needs to !:e approved by Resolution and adopted by 2/3 of rrerribers. The resolution should express all terms in full. . BF:to .

SUBJEX::T : Stornt Water Appeal f= Pemtcm Townhares To date, I have not received any additional info:rnation fran the "South" Harecr.mers Association for the Pemtan Townhouses regarding the storm water appeal. In a recent conversation with Jane Larson, who has represented this group, she indicated that the hareo.vners are still concemed aJ::out the way the rates were established. It appears the appeal is based !!'Ore on the density of hares and total land area, rather than water TIm-off and soil types. Ms. Larson also stated there should perhaps be a different rate established for each the south and the north portions of the developrent. Staff has reviewed the existing assessrrents and had determined that the fees are appropriate according to the =rent ordinance. . Staff had also reviewed the storm sewer system located within the Townhouse Association property. There are detention ponds l=ated on site that serve as terrporary storage sites. The water flows through these ponds by a series of storm sewer pipes. It is also the opinion of staff that 20%' of the storm water :run-off is not retained on the 'I'aNnhouse property. The soil is a hard packed clay causing water to TIm-off ve:ry quickly and into the storm sewer system or onto adjacent properties. DK:to .

RECOMMENDED STRATEGY The City can take a leadership role in bringing interested parties together to encourage discussion and idea sharing. This will also enable the City to ma.ke its goals for the TCAAP property known and understood. This strategy can be accomplished through a plan which focuses on three key audiences: . - Arden Hills residents and business/community organizations - representative-s from environmental groups - concerned citizens from surrounding areas B:y making the Cit:y's message known to these three groups, "- larger audience will take note such as the state government, the U.S. army and the DNR, IMPLEMENTATION PLAN workiniO from the City's idea of . series of three public involvement meetings, I propose the following three-pronged action plan: 1 ) The City will hold a meeting (DATE TO BE DETERMINED) fox' Arden Hills residents<. (The first of three meetings.) Its purpose will be to answer questions and better define the City's role in the TCAAP discussions. ViS\lals will be provided to clearly state the limited portion the City is seeking for its facilities. 1a) In preparation for this meeting, 1 will write a press . release and a question/answer article for submission to the Focus and Bulletin. Thc press release will announce the first meeting. The article will serve to answer common misperceptions and clearly state the City's agenda for the TCAAP property. 1 will also put together a fact sheet that ean be distributed at the meeting. 4583 SHADY I.ANE . 51.

Dan Winkle suggested that I send materials in advance of the city council meeting on January 20, 1994. I have enclosed materials we have prepared for your review. Dan Winkel has been given an aerial photograph and plat map to aid in the discussion of this issue. The Townhouse Villages of Arden Hills and Arden Hills North Homes Associations include 306 homeowners. We understand the necessity of efforts to improve the quality of life through management of . water runoff. However, the relative fairness of the levied fees among homeowners must be addressed. The fee structure was developed to establish various rates for each type of zoning classification according to the estimated amount of runoff contributed to the collection system. We feel the rate for townhomes (R-3) is excessive. For example: 1. The charges which are currently being levied in Arden Hills on single family detached dwellings (R-1) compared to single family attached dwellings, such as townhouses (R-3), is high when compared to other communities. In New Brighton, the same developer of our town home communities built Windsor Green and Brighton Square which are classified as R-2. The proposed rate in this neighboring community is $12.55jacre for townhomes compared to $32.48jacre for townhomes in Arden Hills. See the attachment entitled 'utility Cost Comparison by Community'. 2. Townhome prbperty (R-3) in Arden Hills is charged $32.48jacre, more than twice the amount charged per acre for single family and two family dwellings (R-1 and R-2). Based on our estimates, this does not appear to be proportional to the runoff produced in the townhouse community. We have calculated the area of . land covered by buildings and paved area in our townhouse community as approximately 30% of the total land area compared to 21% for a similar sized detached . home on a 1/4 acre lot. While we agree that townhouses might pay a little more per acre based on these calculations, we do not believe that paying more than two times the rate for single family homes is justified. Please refer to the attachment entitled 'Land Use Information'. Please review the attached information and call me at 636-7303 if you have questions or need more information. We appreciate your efforts in considering this issue in view of the information we have provided. Sincerely, ') J.~M 'jjc1Jc0c'- Jane Larson / V" c: Council Members: Beverly Aplikowski Dale Hicks Paul Malone Dennis Probst Dan Winkle Dorothy Person . Townhomes committee for fee appeal . Land Use Information for Townhouse Villages of Arden Hills and Arden Hills North Homes Association . Each home association calculated the amount of area used for buildings and paved areas. The figures are estimates and the following is a description of the method of calculation and the results of calculations. In both associations, the area of impervious surfaces used in buildings and paved area was approximately 30% of the total land area. We have calculated the land use for a moderately sized single family detached home on a quarter acre, 10,890 square feet, lot as follows: Estimated Building Area 1700 Estimated Drivewav & Walk 560 TOTAL 2260 square feet Percentage of covered area 21% (2260 / 10890 * 100) If covered area contributed 100% runoff and open land contributed 0% runoff the townhomes would contribute approximately 30% more runoff per acre than a single family home using the figures shown above. Since land area contributes to the runoff, the actual figure would be less than 30%. Townhouse Villaqes of Arden Hills Homes Association . An aerial photograph and plat obtained from the county surveyor's office was used to determine the percentage of impervious area. Calculations were made to determine the acreage occupied by buildings and driveways. These measurements are approximated but should be reasonably close to actual measurements. Total land area 34.46 acres Area occupied by buildings 7.10 acres Area of blacktop driveways 3.12 acres These numbers indicate that our buildings and blacktop occupy about 29.7% of the total acreage (10.22 / 34.46 *100). Calculations were made by using the land acreage listed on the plat for five of the seven developed townhome additions. The plat measurements were used to estimate acreage for the two remaining additions. Arden Hills North Homes Association The Arden Hills North Homes Association occupies approximately 31 acres of land area. Rough measurements and calculations show that there are about 4.47 acres or 194,850 square feet of blacktop area. The building area is about 4.92 acres or 214,325 square feet. . There is a total of approximately 9.4 acres of land used for buildings and paved area in the association. The percentage of impervious area is approximately 30.3% (9.39 / 31 * 100). .

Some communities reported information based on the square footage of land or by the acre, as indicated below. * Lakeville charges a rate based on the square footage of property. For single family homes the land area was estimated at 0.25 acre or 10,890 square feet. For a townhouse, we based the calculation on the land area occupied by homes in Townhouse Villages of Arden Hills and Arden Hills North Homes Association of 0.21 acres or approximately 9,146 square feet. ** Roseville, New Brighton and North st. Paul assessed townhomes by the acre of property as Arden Hills has. For comparison the rate was calculated based on a density of a townhome occupying 0.21 acres. The actual charge will vary depending on the actual density of homes built in the association. The townhouse properties of Arden Hills are low density and comparing per acre rates may not be appropriate. The per acre rate for these cities is: . Roseville $33.15 / acre New Brighton $12.55 / acre North st. Paul $33.81 / acre The rates for New Brighton are to be submitted to the New Brighton city council for approval. . , CITY OF ARDEN HILLS .

CITY OF ARDEN HILIS CITIZEN ~TIEE INFORMATICN MISSION : A citizen ccmnittee in Arden Hills is a highly visible and integral part of citizen representation and participation. The purpose of a Citizen Advisory Ccmnittee is to act as an independent citizen representative to advise the City Council in the areas of Ccmnittee involvement and expertise. The Ccmnittees consist of: Finance, Econcmic Cevelq::ment, Human Rights, Public Safety and Public Works, Parks and Recreation, and the Planning Ccmnission. ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES: A lII3.jor responsibility of each Ccmnittee member is to provide a basis of ccmnunication to and fran the public to the City Council. In order to lII3.intain ccmnunications, any Ccmnittee/representatives are encouraged to attend Council meetings at any time, but at least once a year. PROJEcr PRIORITIES Each Ccmnittee identifies projects in the City for that specific technical area and makes recarrrendations to the Council. The Ccmnittee is encouraged to initiate independent projects and ideas, adopt a long range plan, or review needs that have not yet been identified. Annually, the Council receives reccmrendations fran each Ccmnittee . showing the past year's accatplish1rents and plans priorities for the following year. Council reviews and adopts a listing of project priorities. Priorities can be identified by the Ccmnittee with .. .e O::mnittee Involverrent Update 2 1-19-1994 recarrrendations to the Council, or the Council can also reccmrend priorities.
