PUBLIC COMMENTS
Dave Neuberger of 3330 Dunlap Street North noted that he
was unable to attend the public hearing on the proposed
streets to be improved under the 1994 Pavement Management
Improvement project. His lot is located on the corner of
Dunlap Street and Tiller Lane and noted he had been
assessed a large fee just a couple of years ago for the
reconstruction of Tiller Lane. He had two questions to
ask Council, the first being if the improvement project
had in fact, been authorized to take place. Malone
explained that the City had approved the feasibility
study and solicited for bids. The next procedure would
be the assessment hearing scheduled for May 23, 1994 with
a possible recommendation to approve the bid and award
the contract.
Mr. Neuberger's second question was what date would the
project start and what was the anticipated completion
date. Winkel explained that the project would take place
over the summer, starting in mid August. Winkel further
noted that all affected homeowners would receive an
assessment hearing notice shortly. .
Mr. Neuberger noted that he is opposed to the
reconstruction project and that an overlay would be
sufficient as he observed only 20-30 vehicles traveling
on this road on any given day. Winkel stated he would
review the assessment policy for corner lots with Mr.
Neuberger.
UNFINISHED AND NEW BUSINESS
1994 PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT IMPROVEMENT PROJECT:
CONSIDERATION TO APPROVE RESOLUTION #94-30
MOTION: Malone moved, seconded by Hicks to approve
Resolution #94-30, determining assessed
cost of improvement, ordering preparation
of proposed assessment roll and setting
the assessment hearing date of May 23,
1994, in the matter of the 1994 Pavement
Management Improvement project. Motion
carried unanimously (4-0) .
CONSIDERATION TO APPROVE RESOLUTION #94-31
Malone asked for clarification on the bases of the eleven .
percent (11%) overage noted in the Engineer's report
, '"
Arden Hills Council 3 April 11, 1994
. relating to the cost of the improvement project. Person
stated that the materials testing process, overhead
items, and extra items needed in the field, historically
were not included in the initial packet from the Engineer
(Maier Stewart) . She further noted to refer to a memo
faxed to her that day from the Engineer that explained
the cost differential. These additional cost items were
included in the contractor's specifications and
therefore, included in the total bid price.
Malone commented that since there is a slight increase in
the cost as outlined in the contractor's bid, he would
recommend a rate of $10.25 for the cold-in-place
recycling project, and a rate of $29.50 for the
reconstruction project to reflect the slightly higher
cost for the improvements. He further noted that this
would be allowed as outlined in the assessment manual.
MOTION: Hicks moved, seconded by Malone to approve
Resolution #94-31, establishing the assessment rates
to be $10.25 for the cold-in-place recycling project
and $29.50 for the reconstruction project in the
matter of the 1994 Pavement Management Improvement
project. Motion carried unanimously (4-0) .
. REOUEST FROM THOMAS GOSERUD. ARDEN HILLS NURSERY
TO WAIVE FEE ASSOCIATED WITH REOUEST FOR A SPECIAL USE PERMIT.
Probst referred to a letter received in the packet from
Mr. Goserud outlining his reasons for the request to
waive the fee associated with the Special Use Permit.
Probst asked Mr. Goserud if he had anything to add that
had not already been mentioned in the letter. Mr.
Goserud stated he had nothing further to add at that
time.
Malone commented that as part of the Special Use Permit
function, fees are involved to cover attorney costs,
publications and other related expenses. He further
noted that the actual cost would be higher as staff's
time was not calculated in the fee schedule. These fees
help to cover the costs in maintaining the general order
of City Hall.
Aplikowski noted that she would support refunding the
fee, and staff should review the rules in the application
fee procedures. She stated that as City rules change, the
City should notify all parties possibly affected by the
change.
. Hicks asked whether similar situations of that nature had
previously been brought before the staff, and whether the
---- ----------
" .
Arden Hills Council 4 April 11, 1994 .
other nursery case had requested a reimbursement for fees
associated with his Special Use Permit request.
Fritsinger noted that Mr. Weiss had paid his appropriate
fees associated with his Special Use Permit. Hicks
commented that this type of request would probably never
come up again as a new business would pay any appropriate
fees with the submission of an application.
Probst noted that there could be a possibility that an
applicant might address the Council 20 years from now and
ask for a reimbursement of fees.
Malone stated that currently Amoco and Ryder could be in
the same situation. He further noted that he appreciated
Mr. Goserud's point of view, however, the application
process does state there is a fee associated at the time
of application, and this fee is necessary for the general
welfare of the City.
Probst noted there were differences in the Special Use
Permit applications from Amoco and Ryder as specific
modifications and improvements were requested. The issue
with Mr. Goserud's Special Use Permit was that his .
business was simply a paperwork process to meet ordinance
requirements. This was not a request for a Special Use
Permit to undertake any modifications or improvements.
Person stated that this business started as a smaller
business, and probably was not subject to the Special Use
Permit process initially. Because of the changes and
enlargement of the business, more control now needed to
be taken. There had been different changes made over the
years to this business, such as adding Christmas tree
sales, which resulted in an increase in traffic concerns
and some effect to the health and safety of the area. She
further stated a public notice process is used through
publications in the City's official newspaper under legal
notices.
After further discussion, Council concurred that this
business had, in fact, changed over the years, and that
those changes are typical of ~hat had happened to other
businesses. The City had not refunded the fee in those
cases where other businesses had expanded.
Aplikowski commented that a staff review outlining the
changes that had taken place over the years would have
been appropriate to assist the Council in their .
considerations of this request.
, J
Arden Hills Council 5 April 11, 1994
.
MOTION: Hicks moved, seconded by Malone to deny the request
to waive the fees associated with the Special Use
Permit application. Motion carried unanimously (4-
0) .
DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDATION TO
APPROVE 1994 LOCAL #49 CONTRACT SETTLEMENT.
Malone noted that the bargaining process had been
completed with members of Local #49. The bargaining unit
had voted on the contract to be approved through December
31, 1995.
MOTION: Malone moved, seconded by Aplikowski to agree to the
terms of the contract with Local #49 from January 1,
1994 through December 31, 1995 with the recommended
changes to the wage and insurance benefits. Motion
carried unanimously (4-0) .
ADMINISTRATOR COMMENTS
Person noted that the Council needed to set a date for a
strategic planning meeting. After discussion, Council
. concurred to set the date for May 2, 1994 at 4:00 pm at
the Ramada Inn.
Person referred to the memo in the packet from the League
of Minnesota Cities asking for the City to support the
proposal which does not support term limits at the local
level.
Malone noted that this is a personal issue and was
opposed to taking any type of action, as he believed the
issue was a conflict of interest for elected officials.
Council concurred. Person noted she would inform the
League of their decision.
Person referred to the Administrator's memo handed out
that evening, regarding the Oak Grove Landfill payments.
Discussion followed, and it was noted that the payments
had already been considered in the 1994 budget.
MOTION: Hicks moved, seconded by Malone to approve the
payments of $26,000 plus interest to the U S
Environmental Protection Agency, and the payment of
$576.14 to the U S Fish and Wildlife Service in
settlement of the Oak Grove Landfill issue. Motion
carried unanimously (4-0) .
. Person referred to her memo handed out that evening
regarding the Council chambers. It was noted that the
--..--
~ >
Arden Hills Council 6 April 11, 1994 .
Council had previously approved temporary meeting space
at New Brighton City Hall, however a more ideal location
would be within the City limits.
Person noted that she had spoke with Mike Fix at TCAAP
and that Mr. Fix had noted that there would be ample room
in the Administrator's Building #105 to accommodate a
Council chambers. Discussion followed and Council
concurred to direct the Administrator to further pursue
that location for a meeting site.
Hicks commented that at such time the Council chambers
would move back into the City, he would request that
staff send a letter of thanks to the City of New Brighton
for allowing the use of their Council chambers to the
City of Arden Hills.
COUNCIL COMMENTS
Malone commented that NSP had requested the use of
space on the north water tower. He noted that
Cellular One currently paid the City rent for use of
space on the water tower. He asked whether Control
Data paid the City rent, as they too use space on .
the water tower. Staff commented that they were not
aware that Control Data paid any rental fees. Staff
would research further and get back to Council at a
later date.
Malone referred to previous comments that addressed the
possible change in the Sheriff patrol of Arden Hills, and
noted that the Arden Hills squad had previously been used
for backup for Falcon Heights and that it was not a new
request and not a high concern to him. Council
concurred.
Malone stated he had a real concern regarding the
Planning Commission not meeting a quorum for their April
Planning Commission meeting, and the need to reschedule a
meeting for April 20.
Probst agreed with Malone and stated it was very
disconcerting and that it should be discussed at the
worksession with the Commission members.
Aplikowski referred to the League's request that the City
participate in the City Unity Day Rally scheduled for
Thursday, April 21. She noted that she was in favor of
participating, and could make arrangements to attend. .
. I
. Arden Hills Council 7 April 11, 1994
Probst commented that although parts of the sample
resolution do not affect Arden Hills. the last three
paragraphs of the sample resolution are important issues
and clearly need to be addressed. Discussion followed.
MOTION: Probst moved, seconded by Aplikowski to approve
Resolution #94-32 declaring City Unity Day. Motion
carried unanimously (4-0) .
Aplikowski noted that she planned to attend the April 23
County Commissioner meeting. She would also be attending
the May 25, 1994 AMM meeting and the April 14 Human
Rights meeting on Hate Crimes.
Probst noted that the Parks & Recreation Committee had
agreed to pursue major modification changes to Perry
Park. This was made as an anticipated proposal project
for 1995.
Probst asked if a date had been set for the sewer
connection on the TCAAP property. Person noted that the
final agreement would be forthcoming and she would notify
the Council at a later date.
. Probst noted that the National Guard had requested a
sewer and water hookup off of Hwy. 96 as they currently
had funding available for this project. They were asking
whether Arden Hills had an interest to enlarge the pipe.
Winkel noted that he would review the elevation of the
manholes, and the best approach to take to accommodate
with the project. Malone noted that additional capacity
may be needed down stream of the area along Old Snelling
and under Hamline Avenue.
Probst commented that he was very pleased to receive a
copy of a letter from resident Joyce Manning thanking the
City for handling her problem with the address issue.
Person noted that the April 21 Community meeting at TCAAP
would be held in the downstairs area of TCAAP Building
#105 just to the right of the entrance hallway.

SUBJECT : 1994 Diseased Tree Rem:Jval Prices
As you are aware, only one bid was received for the renoval of
diseased trees this year. The bid was received fran Precision Tree.
It was considerably higher than the 1993 prices.
In an attenpt to receive lower prices, Gary Arpa was contacted to
suhnit a price quote. The quote obtained fran Arpa Tree Service was
lower than Precision Tree. I reccmnend that the bid fran Precision
Tree be rejected and the price quote fran Arpa Tree Service be
accepted for the 1994 diseased tree renoval.

rerroved.) of the price difference between Precision Tree and Arps Tree

identification sign on County Road E to assist TCF with its signage
requirements. When TCF ll'Oved, the signage identifying the plaza was not
replaced.
Over the past several years, lx>th the mall and office carplex have
struggled with its ability to hold tenants. This request is primarily
. related to the new clinic locating in the plaza office corrplex. This
.. .

clinic has becare the major tenant in the office cc:.uplex. The =-rent
property rranagement group has been =rking with the clinic as well as
the remainder of the tenants to improve the site signage.
FINDINGS
l. Area Identification Signs - The ordinance allows 1 area
identification sign per frontage on public streets with a rMXi.murn
of 2 per area. The number of signs proposed w:JUld be consistent
with this section of the ordinance.
2. Ser""...,k" - The required setback on this property for area
identification signs is 15 feet along County Road E and 20 feet
along Lexington Avenue. The proposed setbacks on the area
identification signs are 15 and 20 feet on the proposed sign and
35 feet on the existing. Directional signs have no minimum
setback fran the street right -of -way. 'Ihis sign =uld not be
located within the right-of-way, setback is approximately 8 feet.
3. ~ - The proposed sizes are as follows:
A. Lexington identification sign - 81 square feet, 16 .
feet high.
B. County Road E identification sign - 88 square feet, 16
feet high.
C. County Road E directional sign - 9 square feet, 6 feet
high.
Both area identification signs fall within the pennitted 100
square f=t and 16 f=t height allowances. The directional sign
=uld require a variance I::oth to its height and its total square
f=tage.
4. IlJ umination - Each of these signs will be inte:rnally illuminated
with fluorescent lamps. No animation or flashing parts will be
included .
5. Variance - A granting of a variance fran the dimensional
requirerrents of the ordinance shall require a finding of fact that
an undue hardship exists or that the granting of the variance
=uld not be materially detrirrental to the public welfare or
injurious to the property or improverrents in the vicinity or zone
in which the property is located.

Case #94-01 Page 3 04/14/94
.
The directional sign is proposed to direct citizens to the parking
area of the clinic and plaza. The applicant has indicated that 6
square feet does not allow for readable graphic size for a n\.ll1ber
of reasons:
1. The directional sign is for t\\lO separate facilities;
the clinic/office c:ouplex and the Arden Plaza retail
center.
2. Standards for the visibility of the sign along roads
with traffic levels and speed present on County Road E
call for 3" copy.
other items the Ccrnnission may wish to consider are:
1. The main parld.ng lot for these 2 separate facilities
is hidden fran traffic on County Road E and Lexington
Avenue.
2. The variance for this directional sign is not
significant, and it should not prove detrimental to
the vicinity.
3. Other directional signs along County Road E do exceed
the square footage and height limits.
. 4. Staff could find no precedent for previous variances
being granted for similar requests.
5. The additional visibility may assist the econanic
feasibility of the retail plaza tenants.
MISCELLANEOUS
Staff has discussed with the leasing agent and sign carpany the
necessity for combining the leasing signs with the area identification
signs. The p~sed signs do not incorporate this information, rot the
applicant has indicated a willingness to do so.

SOBJECl': Case #94-04, Colleen. Avecue PreliJDimlry Plat
John M::Clucg - applicant
Reauest
The applicant is requesting approval of the preliminary plat for
McClung 4th addition, a nine (9) residential lot developrent located
in Mr. McClung's last rerraining undeveloped property.
Backarcund
In the early 1980' s, the applicant sul::mitted a plan which was approved
for the remainder of this area. McClrmg's se=d addition was
. approved in 1980 (see Case #80-19) and McClung's third addition was
approved in 1983 (see Case #83-13) .
At the tirre these plats were approved, a sketch plan of McClung's
fourth addition was su1:rnitted for review but withdrawn. The current
suJ::mittal prop:>sed to corrq:>lete the residential developnent in this
area. The access to this new addition would connect to Colleen
Avenue.
The area is currently zoned R-1, Single Family Residential. The
applicant is identifying this plat to be 4.66 acres in size. wts are
expected to sell for arout $70,000, with heme values in the $250-
$350,000 range. No land or development covenants are proposed.
The Planning Ccmnission held the public hearing for this application
at its March 2, 1994 rreeting. The O:mnission closed the Public
Hearing and rroved to continue its discussion of this request rmtil the
applicant suhnitted additional information.
The applicant has addressed each of the c=erns identified by the
Planning Ccmnission. He has worked with staff to revise his plans to
. include the erosion control, wetland delineation, cut and fill and
tree identification. The lots have been revised in such a manner that
. Case #94-04 Page 2 04/12/94
there is no further need for a variance on lots 4, 5, and 6.
In w:)rking with Mr. McClung, staff had reccmrended that RCWD review
these preliminary plans prior to the May 4th Plarming O:mnission
meeting. RCWD's review of wetland and erosion control items will be
carpleted on April 27. This will not allow for RCWD' s ccmnents to be
carpleted and included in time for the April 20 meeting.
A question was also raised by a neig:h\:xJr as to the impact of
additional drainage on neighOOring property. Mr. McClung has hired an
engineer to review this question. However, the change in meeting
dates will not allow it to be suitable for review. Neither of these
reports is required by the Zoning Ordinance nor were they requested by
the Planning O:mnission.
Fi,r1niT'lt'Ta
1. Minimum lot area - All lots exceed the 14,000 square feat
area requirerrent. '!he minimum lot area is 14,079 square
feet and the average lot area is 16,969 square feet.
. 2. Minimum IDt size - All lots meet the minimum lot depth.
The applicant has reconfigured the lots such that the
minimum lot width at the 40' setback is 95 feet. This
reconfiguration included a change in street curvature and
lot widths. All lots now meet the required width at
setback and no variance is required.
3. P"'~nts - A ten feat drainage and utility easement is
provided on the front of all lots. A drainage easement
along the rear of lots 1 thru 5 has also been identified.
4. Gradincr Plan - The grading plan rrM identifies a silt
fence and erosion control measures along those areas most
likely to cause erosion into the existing drainage ditch
and marsh.
Substantial cutting and filling is required to prepare
this area for development. An existing ridge in lots 2
through 6 will be removed.
The lot grading on lots 6, 7, 8 and 9 will be done at the
. time of hare construction.
,
. Case #94-04 Page 3 04/12/94
5. Streets - The road and cul-de-sac appears to meet all City
code requirerrents. The road pitch is uphill to the cul-
de-sac.
6. Park Ledication - Park dedication is to be determined by
the City Council. The applicant is p:rDp:)sing a dedication
of 18,037 square feet for a connecting path/walkway. The
Parks O:mnittee has reviewed this dedication and has
reconmended approval.
7. Wetland Delineation - The applicant has catpleted a
delineation of the adjacent wetland. No fill is proposed
to encroach onto the delineated wetland. RCWD does act as
the administrator of the Wetland Conservation Act in Arden
Hills. As detailed earlier in the report, Mr. McClung
will be meeting with RCWD next week to review the various
wetland and erosion issues.
8. Tree ITIVl"~torv - The applicant has provided an inventory
. of existing trees as required. The subdivision ordinance
does not require replacement of any of these trees.
9. Miscellaneous - Prior to the review of the final plat, the
applicant needs to provide a carplete set of plans and
specifications. These would include:
A. Grading, street and cul-de-sac design.
B. Sanita:ry sewer, storm sewer, and watenna:in
installation.
These plans have been reviewed by the City Engineer, City Attomey,
Public Works Superintendent and Cede Enforcement Officer. No =cerns
were identified in the area of drainage and the plans appear to rreet
all requirements for a preliminary plat sul:rnittal.
Reccmnenda.tian
Staff reccmnends the Planning Carrnission rrove to approve the
preliminat:y plat as sul:rnitted. Prior to the review of the preliminat:y
plat by the City Council, the applicant shall provide to the City
ccmnents frcrn RCWD and the area drainage plan.

DAXE: April 15, 1994

FRCM: Brian Fritsinger, Carmmity Planning Coordinator
SllBJEC'l' : 1994/1995 Goals
At the March 2 meeting, staff briefly updated the Planning Cannission in
regards to the need to develop goals for 1994/1995. The City Council
has set aside titre at its Thursday, April 21 Worksession meeting to
discuss these with the Planning Ccmnission.
Previous goals recently accarplished by the Planning Cannission were the
reo:rganization of the zoning and sign ordinance. The Cannission should
take sane titre at the end of this meeting to prepare its goals for the
. City Council Worksession.
The Planning Cbmmission is scheduled fram 5:30-6:15 p.m. to discuss its
goals for next year. The full carrnittee is not expected to attend but
a representative (s) should be appointed. This meeting will be held at
the Public Works Lill1Chrocm at the City of Arden Hills.

SUBoJE::l' : Rice Creek Watershed District Pel:mits
Attached you will find pennit inforrration frc::m Rice Creek Watershed
District. I obtained this inforrration after holding a discussion with
Kate Drewery at Rice Creek Watershed District. ,
As you can see, Rice Creek Watershed District does review all of the
following :
Land I:evelopnent Plans Final Site Drainage Plans
Stormwater Managerrent Plans Wetland Alteration
Shoreland Alteration Grading/Erosion Control Plan
Public/Private Drainage Rough Grading Plan
. '!he review of site plans vary depending on the type and size of the
project (see inforrration sheet.) In short, those issues identified by
the Planning Corrmission while reviewing the McClung Preliminary Plat are
reviewed by Rice Creek Watershed District. The issue, however, is when
the plan is reviewed. According to Ms. Drewery, nost comnunities
undertake a concept review stage where the City rrakes carrrents and then
sends the plan to Rice Creek Watershed District for review. Thus, when
a forrral preliminary plat application is su1:mitted nost of the
information identified in the McClung case IoOlld be attached.
As Arden Hills does not have a fonnal =cept review stage, it may be
appropriate for staff to ccrrplete its review and then require the
applicant to w:::rk with Rice Cree.l<: Watershed District prior to su1:mitting
a forrral application. The procedural requirement w:::uld be fairly sirrple
to. irrplernent .
The broader question raised at the last rreeting was who should be
resp:msible for review of the a\:;ove. Ms. Dre'.oJery indicated that none of
the local governments within the Rice Creek Watershed District have
opted to take the resp::>nsibility to review the a\:;ove. Each corrrnunity
. which has adopted its Water Management Plan has given this
resp:msibility to Rice Creek Watershed District. In reviewing City .
files, it does not appear that the City has forrrally adopted or
appointed Rice Creek Watershed District to serve in this capacity. The
City did sul:mit its draft Water Managerrent Plan to Rice Creek Watershed
District for review. Rice Creek Watershed District approved the plan
and has acted as the City's agent based on the approved draft plan.
other water/drainage related ordinances currently in place in Arden
Hills are the Shoreland Managerrent and Flood Plain ordinances. As part
of its review of a case, staff takes into ronsideration each of these
ordinances. For the !lOst part, these apply only to lots which are
imredi.ately adjacent to the various lakes.
In reviewing the permit information frcm Rice Creek Watershed District,
the Comnission should note the detail in the sul:mittal requirerrents for .
the Grading and Erosion - Sediment Control Plan and Stormwater
Managerrent Plan. Staff will be reviewing the Arden Hills Ordinance and
procedures to determine the best way to incozporate this type of detail.

DATE: April 13, 1994
TO: Arden Hills PJ,..,.,ing Ccmnission
FRCM: Brian Frits:Ulger, Ccmmmity PlanniDg Coordinato@
SUBJECT : 1203 Edgewater Avenue
Attached you will find a proposal for a new barre to be constructed at
1203 Edgewater Avenue. The applicant had originally applied for a
variance to the front yard setback to allow for =nstruction of this
heme.
The front yard setback requirement in this zoning district is 40 feet.
The applicant had requested a variance which would have allOloled the
heme to be built at the same setback, 19 feet, as the adj acent barre
l=ated at 1175 Eclgewater Avenue. There are no other barres located on
. the east side of this block. The applicant I s property consists of
wetland, and wetland is present north of the site.
In reviewing the Zoning Ordinance with City Staff, it was noted that
Section VI, C, 1, (a) may apply in this case. This section states
"Where existing principal buildings have a different setback fran the
minimum setback required herein, the front setback of a new principal
structure shall not be less than the prevailing setback in the
irrrnediate vicinity. The Administrator shall determine the necessary
minimum front setback in such cases."
After further review with the Planning Chairperson and City Attorney,
staff has made the determination that this section of the ordinance
does apply and that no variance is required. The applicant will
continue to ....x:>rk with both RCWD, to obtain all necessary pennits, and
the City, on necessary fill pennits.

SUBJECT: Case #94-05 SUP for service station
Jlpplicant: 'Iheodore Brausen, Owner, Ancco
Im;;lUEST
The applicant is requesting an approval for a Special Use Pennit to
operate a service station at 1310 County Road E.
BACKGROOND
The applicant currently operates an Arroco Service Station and carwash at
1306 County Road E. This property is owned by Arrerican oil Cl.:XIpany and
leased to the applicant. The applicant has recently acquired the .forrrer
. Great Lakes Restaurant, 1310 County Road E, and is proposing to convert
the use into an 8 bay Arroco C'erticare. The two existing service bays in
the existing Arroco station will be converted to convenience store use
and the third bay into storage.
The proposed building is l=ated within a B-2, General Business
District. Service stations are allowed only by SUP in this district.
No gas or fuels will be dispensed from this site, onlyautarobile repair
is proposed. Physically, the change will involve raising the =f
several feet and rebuilding much of ~the interior. However, the
fcotprint of the building will remain unchanged.
The existing building and site plan was revie~ and approved as part of
Case #74-15. The site plan was approved subject to T.H. #51 being
considered the front yard. It appears that a "waiver" or variance was
granted for the setbacks; however, it is unclear in the minutes as the
specific "waiver".
The building is a non-conforming building because of the existing
setbacks. Under section IX, A, 2 of the ordinance a non-conforming
building rray exist so long as it is used for the purposes pennitted in
the zoning district in which it is l=ated. Because the incmpatibility
. is rrerely technical in nature it shall be exempt fran the provisions of
Section IX. In other words, this non-conforming use can continue.
----.--
.
FINDIN3S
. 1. Site Plan - The total site consists of approximately 47,000 square
feet. The building is 3,940 square feet in size which is
significantly less than the 40% maxillUJffi coverage allowed in the
Ordinance .
SqI]~rP Fmtaae -L
Building Coverage 3,940 8%
Parking Coverage 26,014 55%
If the Plarming Ccmnission was consistent with the original site
plan review and considered T.H. 51 as the front yard, the site
\\OUld meet all setback requirerrents except the north setback. The
ordinance requires a minillUJffi of 20 feet and the existing setback
is only 10 feet.
2. parkil"lQ - The station, under Section VI, F, 1, j, is required to
have 3 spaces for each enclosed bay plus 1 for each errployee on
the peak work shift. Under this fonnula, 32 spaces would be
required . 50 spaces are shown on the plan.
Section VI, F, I, (b) addresses access to parking. There is no
. direct a=ess to a public street on this property . kcess is
provided through an a=ess easerrent with the adjacent property
owner .
3. Refuse - Section VI, G, 2 addresses refuse. The applicant is
proposing new 12 X 12 enclosures for trash and tires. This design
should match the existing building construction.
4. Drainaae - No water management plan is required for this plan.
New curb and gutter are proposed which \\OUld continue to carry the
water to the SW corner of the lot. No grading or elevation
changes are planned. No additional run-off is p=jected.
5. Lightil"lQ - The lighting plan rreets all requirements of Section VI,
E, 3. Fixtures will consist of metal halide light sources in
"shoebox" style fixtures which shield the light sources. Fixtures
will be rrounted on jX)les at 14 feet above the ground.
6. Signage - No specifics have been presented in regards to signage
for the site.
. 7. ScreE'Xlil"lQ - The rcof-top rrounted equiprent will be s=eened per
section, VI, E, 4, (j) of the ordinance by metal black fascia
material.
.
8. Buildina Design - The building will be of gray painted brick and
. concrete block to match the existing Am:x:o station. Windows and
doors will be dark anodized aluminum. The overhead d=rs will be
full vision with anodized aluminum frarres. A =ntinuous 26" wide
red band will separate the grey brick/bl=k fran a 4 f=t wide
metal black facia at the top of the building. Building height is
proposed at 18 feet.
9. Land=aoincr - The site as it exists, does not meet the required
25% landscaped area. The applicant has met the minimum landscaped
area by Prop:lSing to realign the pavement setback along the south
property line and introducing a benreCl island next to the east
access.
The 3 f=t high berm with eight 6 f=t Black Hills Spruce trees
will provide a screen for the clinic to the east. An existing 6-
7 I hedge runs the length of the south property line. There are
scattered trees along the south and east property lines. With the
additional landscaped area adjacent to the building all
requirements appear to be met.
In reviewing the requirements of the landscaping plan, 12. 3
. caliper inches of tree is required on this site. The existing
landscaping when considered with the proposed screening next to
the clinic lIDre than exceeds this requirement.
Section VI, D, 2, (a) addresses special landscaping requirements
for service stations. This requires that landscaping be provided
to the following depths fran each lot line.
(l) 20 feet fran front - In COllpliance
(2) 10 feet fran each side - North lot line not in
COllpliance.
(3) 15 feet fran rear - In COllpliance
The difficulty in meeting this requirement along the north lot
line is that the existing elevation change makes the requirement
unfeasible. This II.DIlld require the building to be rel=ated and
the loss of 8 parking spaces.
10. Access - Access to the site is possible only through an access
easement which allows vehicles to cross the property l=ated to
the east.
.
.
REC'<HmNDATICHl
. Staff reccmnends, subject to the following, the site plan and SUP J::e
approved .
1. All permits necessary fran the M=tropolitan Waste Control

RE: Amoco Station, SS #5351
Dear Brian:
As part of the redevelopment of the Steak Inn into an Amoco Certicare Service Center, Amoco Oil
Company wishes to expand the convenience store in the existing station into two of the service bays.
The remaining bay would be used for storage. The pump islands, canopy and car wash would remain
unchanged.
. The remodeling would create a 1,740 SF convenience store with 544 SF of storage space. No
automotive service areas would remain on this site. As all of the remodelling is within the building
footprint, no changes would be made to the site.
The enlarged store will require parking of 12 stalls by ordinance. Currently there are a minimum of 18
stalls provided on the site.
Please review this information and contact me if any further details are required. (451-4605)
If the proposed remodelling is within the current special use permit, please send a confirming letter to:
Mr. Steve Amick
Amoco Oil Company, West Zone
5001 West 80th Street, Suite 801
Minneapolis, Minnesota 55437-1181
Please send me a copy of the letter
Sincerely,

Landfill Cleanup: Finding an Alternative to Superfund
City Official Briefmg Packet
Item .
1. PCA Legislative Update -- provides concise background of issue.
2. LMC letter 3/6/94 -- most recent LMC position statement, includes list of cities
already targeted under the Superfund process.
3. PCA map of state illustrating next tier of landfills to experience cost recovery -- 1hll
. point to be made is that this is a state-wide issue of great importance.
4. PCA list showing complete list of affected landfills - if your city ever hauled
anythint: to anyone of these facilities, your city probably will be sued (as well as
businesses and residents of your city) under Superfund unless we get the legislature to
act this session.
5. Map of item 4 sites and flow chart of agency funding proposal.
6. List of funding proposals -- we prefer the hazardous products tax (our policy supports
this item alone). G.O. bonds, insurance, and solid waste assessments have all been
reviewed by the League and are acceptable to the League as additional elements of a
coordinated funding package. Please note: LMC has not studied the carbon tax
alternative and consequently we have no position on whether it is an appropriate/
viable alternative for funding the alternative program.
NOTE: If you need further information or have any questions, please see Joel Jamnik or
Duke Addicks.

March 16, 1994
Senator Steve Morse
G-24 Capitol
St. Paul, MN 55155
Dear Senator MOrse: .
The League of Minnesota Cities strongly supports passage of an alternative to superfund for landfill
cleanup. It is vitally important that the legislature act this session to pass S.F .1133 or similar legislation.
Any further delay will expose more cities, businesses, and individuals to claims similar to those made last
year in Anoka County. As a practical matter, the issue of reimbursement, particularly the mechanics of
retroactively applying an alternative program for third-party payors, will only become worse if we wait to
act.
. Several of Minnesota's cities made payments to the trust for the Oak Grove clean-up and all cities
throughout the state have potential liability for other landfills. It is not a metropolitan or Greater Minnesota
issue but truly a state issue, as indicated by the attached list of cities, counties, and school districts targeted
for other landfills. Further, our "Oak Grove experience" supports MPCA estimates that transaction costs
will at least equal the amounts paid for cleaning up these facilities.
The League supports the creation of a long-term program with dedicated funding sources. While our
preference is for funding sources that have positive economic and environmental side effects such as
increasing the cost to consumers who choose to purchase products that might damage the environment or
are otherwise difficult to manage, we are pragmatically supportive of any combination of funding sources
which are politically acceptable to a majority of the legislature and the governor.
We would recommend, however, that if the solid waste assessment is to be increased that this year's
legislation spell out how much the increase will be and when it will occur over the life of the entire
program, not just for the fIrst few years.
We look forward to supporting your efforts on this issue.
Sincerely,
001 J. amnik

It h,lS become cleM th<lt the Army plans to "excess" the Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant
and transier the land to new owners.
Employment at Federal Cartridge continues to drop. Employment at AIBant TechSystems
is also unstable, given recent reductions in Alliant's operations statewide.
The end of the Cold War need not bring economic hardship to defense.industry workers! .
Through the conversion of the Ammunition Plant property to new uses, new jobs may be
'rcclted that match the skills of the current work force. Or, opportunities may be created
for laid-oif workers to be trained and hired for jobs in the environmental cle,lnup.
Much will depend on what new uses are determined for the site and what priorities are
established for re-use planning. As a worker/former worker, you can playa role in this
. process.

To ",horn it may concern,
The Ramsey County Sheriff's Department Explorer Post #2 has
a long tradition of excellence and service. The post "as first
chartered in 1957 and is currently the oldest Explorer post in
Minnesota and the second oldest in the United states.
La", Enforcement Explo=ing is a coed part of the Boy Scouts
of America. It is designed to provide young men and ",omen ages
14-21 ",ith hands on experience in the la", enforcement field, to
help them prepare for a career in la~ enforcement. Post #2 is a
voluntary part of the Ramsey County Sheriff's Department. The
post must rely on donations from groups and other fundraising .
methods such as popcorn sales to provide money needed by the
post.
Explorer Post #2 has tried many different ",ays to raise
funds this past year. We have sold t-shirts, mugs, popcorn, and
we have 'Worked for Hannon Security at Vikings games to make money
for Ezplcrers. Unfortunately, the fundraising "e have done is
not sufficient for our needs.
April 21 through 24 is the state Exploring Conference.
Explorers from all over Minnesota compete in competitions such as
. burglary response, hostage negotiations, and crime prevention.
The state conference is a lot of fun and hard "ork, but most of
all, it is expensive. The cost per person is $110, ",hich may not
seem like much, but ",hen multiplied by seventeen Explorers and
three advisors, the figure adds up to approximately $2000. This
year we have asked each E>:plorer to pay $50 of the conference
fee, but many can not afford it. Our Explorers come from many
,-:.ifferent areas of the county, such as Vadnais Heights,
Shorevie"vl, White Bear Lake, New Brighton, Roseville, and Little
Canada. Several of our Explorers can not afford the $20 a year
for dues to the post, let alone the $50 for the state conference.
1994 is a busy year for Explorers. In addition to the state
conference in April, there is a National Explorer Conference
being held in Bloomington, Indiana. At the national conference,
Explorers get to ",ork "ith and meet other Explorers from all over
the country, and attend seminars taught by many federal agencies
such as tJ-,e FBI, ATF, U.S. Customs and the U.S. Secret Service.
The cost for nationals is $220 per person, not including
transportation. Our post has enough money for the state
conference in April, but "'e ",i 11 probably not have enough money
for nationals.
We, the Explorers of Post #2, ",ould greatly appreciate any
help your organization could give us financially.
Sincerely,
. Explorer Post ~2

During the past 5 years, the Ramsey Conuty Sheriff. 's Explorer Post has received
several awards. These awards are based on both performance and community involvement.
In 1993, the post recei ved some of the top awards ,a t the annua 1 competeti on hel din
Breezy Point Mn. Among these awards are the followin9:
1st. place male Explorer male individual shooting.
1st. place male Explorer 2- mile run.
3rd. place female Explorer 2- mile run,
1st. place Crime prevention,
1st. place Bomb scene searching,
2nd. place Domestic interveiwing. .
3rd. place Gang intervention,
3rd. place Burglary response.
Within the Indianhead council of the boy scouts, the Ramsey County Explorer post
has also received high honors. The most recent award was the Quality Service for
. chartered posts. This award was given to Ramsey County Explorers at the annual business
meeting for the Indianhead council, held in St. Paul.
In April of this year. the lndianhead council of the boy scouts will be presenting
the Ramsey County Explorers with another service award titled the Division award of
merit. We have also rer.eived many individual awards. One of our frmale members just
received the Explorer of the year award, this was presented at the annual Explorer
dinner. Also at the dinner. two of the advisors received the innovation award, for
maintaining the Explorer post.

1. ADMINISTRATION -
A. The City has been informed as of today by Tim Mayasich of
Ramsey County Public Works, that Hwy. 96 is anticipated to be
turned back to the County this year. The City had recently been
notified of a milling and overlay project to be done on Hwy. 96
this year, however, because of the pending negotiations of the
turnback ofHwy. 96 to the County, the milling and overlay project
will not take place this year. All of the monies that were to be used .
for the milling and overlay project will be given to the County for a
future reconstruction project on Hwy. 96. Minor maintenance
work (patching, etc.) will continue by the state. Highway 96
reconstruction planning will continue. This cost suggestion is a
positive sign, along with all four lanes in place in our City. Work
with the County will continue.
B. The Ramsey County Sheriffs Contract Cities group - Falcon
. Heights has requested a proposal for service from the group. The
possible service thus far identified could be a .2 deputy from Arden
Hills and .I Deputy from Shoreview available as on can onJv from
2:00 am - 10:00 am during 139 days of the year, with 226 days of
the year where Falcon Heights will provide that coverage. The
Arden Hills squad will return to Arden Hills and the regular route.
Please consider whether you see this as a possible option. It could
change the 24 hours coverage slightly.
The Department is also expected to request additional deputy hours
to address the late night shiftlhigher crime hours. This was
considered in the past year, but the need for all cities has not been
there, funding has been an issue so this has not been previously
formally forwarded to Council. Arden Hills needs have not
dramatically increased, yet 1993 statistics show a higher use of
other cities' squads to assist Arden Hills squads compared to the
others' assists. Further review is being done.
2. PUBLIC WORKS
A. The City has received a letter from the State of Minnesota
regarding our request for reimbursement of$15,491.93 from the

Re: Utilization of land at the TCAAP
At the meeting last Thursday evening, April 21 , I rose and
made a suggestion for the use of a possible parcel, or parcels, of
land lying outside the TAACP area.
There i s one parcel of 209 acres which is owned by the
University of Minnesota which constitutes the old airport site
at County Road J and 1-35 W.
Since there appears to be a need for more Golf Courses in the
neighborhood, and the University may be in the need of
more space also, is there a possibility of several communities
and the University planning together to develop a good professional
course on this site.
. The site is not far removed from the N W corner of the TAACP
land, and this would leave the TAACP area with more
undisturbed area. Many attending the past several meetings
believe this highly desirable.
An additional factor i s the cost of developing a reasonably
good golf course for Arden Hills alone.
The 209 acres I refer to have been mapped by the Soil Survey
and this map would give you further information. Should you
believe this is worthy of consideration, I can help you contact
persons who know this area.
Are there other open sites near the TAACP property?
Very truly yours

Park & Recreation Committee
FROM: Mary Gillies
DATE: April 20. 1994
It has been my pleasure to be a member of the Parks and Recreation
Committee for the past few years. My involvement has given me a
great deal of satisfaction. I feel the committee contributes to
the life of Arden Hills Residents in many ways. Most of these are
obvious but many are subtle and will last for m any years. The
ongoing work is constructive and very worthwhile. Unfortunately,
my schedule is not as flexible as in previous years and I have been
unable to attend all meetings and do my homework to contribute the
way I would like. Therefore, it is with regret I inform you that
I can no longer serve on the committee.
The meetings are always informative and enjoyable. I will miss the
comraderie of the group but will, of course, see you at the planting
. breakfast. And. if anything happens in Valentine Park and/or Messerli
Commerative Park (sometimes known as Crepeau). I will reserve the right
to attend the meeting.

million through a variety of cost-saving initiatives and improved productivity.
However, the savings was offset by a shortfall in projected revenue.. The
variances cancel each another out, bringing our 1993 budget year to a zero
balance. Consequently, there will not be an across-the-board rebate tor
communities on your 1995 sewer service bill, as there haa been in previous years.
At this tiJlle I would also like to provide an update on the Cost Allocation Study.
. In 1993, COllllllission staft conducted a study of the system in response to concerns
expressed by cOlllDunities regarding variability in charges. Although by law and
policy, we are required to bill each cOlllDunity based on their proportionate share
of flow, we felt there were possibilities within these guidelines to improve the
method of billing. You were invited to two different workshops where our staff
shared their findings and listened to your comments. OUr commitment and work on
this effort continues. We will continue to keep you informed on the status of
this study and our recommendations.
As always, your questions or comments are welcome.. For specific questions about
this statement or the zero rebate in 1995, please contact Steve Sielaff at 229-
2021 or myself at 229-2017.
Sincerely,

. ARDEN HILLS
Once, like many Twin Cities suburbs, Arden Hills was a farming
community. But in 1951, the City incorporated in an effort to
include the Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant in its boundaries.
And as interest in the northern suburbs grew among developers,
the City's location proved to be a draw.
Arden Hills encompasses approximately 9.4 square miles and lies
in Ramsey County about 5 miles north of the St. Paul City limits.
It is bounded on the west by Interstate 35W and on the east by
Lexington Avenue. Interstate 694 and Highways 10, 96, and 51 cut
through the community. The current population is estimated at
approximately 9,500.
The fact that the U.S. Army has a dominant presence in Arden
Hills hasn't kept developers away. In fact, Arden Hills boasts
an impressive list of corporate headquarters and executive homes.
The community is the corporate headquarters for Cardiac
Pacemakers, Mutual Service Insurance (MSI) , Land O'Lakes, Delta
Environmental and H.B. Fuller Company. Control Data Systems and
. Pharmacia Deltec also have large facilities in Arden Hills.
Arden Hills has been successful in its efforts to attract
desireable business and industry. This is obvious when a
developer contacts the City for potential development sites.
Most of the land available is in small tracts, however, three
large tracts do exist.
One potentially untapped development area is the federal
government ammunition plan. With a total of 2,330 acres, it
could start a substantial influx of building activity if the land
were ever released or sold.
Another area available for development is the Round Lake District
in the northeast corner of 1-694 and I-35W. This area, which
acts as the gat~way to. the City, consists of 60-80 acres of
property zoned for "mixed-uses."
The remaining area of commercial development is on the west side
of Lexington Avenue, south of 1-694. This area has been rezoned
to encourage the redevelopment into a compatible retail mix which
. would feed off the nearby Target Greatland store.
-----.--
. Named after the extinct Arden Dairy Farms and the rolling
topography, Arden Hills brings to mind such words as "pastoral"
and "idyllic." Arden Hills is home to a wide variety of uses
ranging from corporate headquarters to colleges. We hope that
you will consider locating your company to Arden Hills and become
a part of our community.

UNFINISHED AND NEW BUSINESS
DISCUSSION: NATIONAL GUARD REOlffiST FOR PARTICIPATION IN BASE
SEWER FUNDING.
Councilmember Probst noted that the City had received a
request from the National Guard to participate in funding
a sewer connection that would serve their immediate need
. for their existing maintenance facility north of Highway
96 and west of the extension of Hamline Avenue. He
further noted that there had been discussion between the
City Administrator, the Public Works Superintendent and
Tom Ryan from the National Guard regarding the National
Guard requesting the City'S participation in oversizing
the pipe, in as much as the City had participated in an
oversized pipe with the Army. Further discussions seem
to indicate that the National Guard was requesting the
City to assist in the provision of service to that
location. The National Guard had also made a similar
request to Ramsey County. Probst understood that Ramsey
County was not prepared to participate in any cost
sharing agreement at this time, due to a lack of any
assurance that Ramsey County would have any access to the
property.
Administrator Person noted that if the City would
participate in the cost of this sewer funding, it may
give the Army some indication that the City was serious
about entering into an agreement with them.
Malone asked if staff was given any indication of the
magnitude of the cost of this project? Councilmember
Probst noted that the anticipated total cost of the
. project was $180,000. From the correspondence received,
it appeared that the National Guard had approximately
$70,000 to apply to this project. The National Guard was
. Arden Hills Council 3 May 9,1994
looking to the City and Ramsey County to assist in
funding the remaining $110,000.
Malone noted that if the City would gain access to the
property, the City would partially use these utilities,
however, he would like the City to have some type of
guarantee or contingency that the City would be able to
build on this property at some future date. He further
noted that the City had a policy on billing these types
of utilities or any other capital improvements of that
nature, and that 100% was normally assessed to the user.
Malone further noted he would be in favor of the City
funding a portion of the project if the City would be
guaranteed that it would have access to develop a part of
this property.
Public Works Superintendent Winkel noted that the
National Guard requested a four inch (4") force main and
they would pump into the City'S sewer line due to the
fact that the National Guard's existing line is at a
lower elevation than the City'S sewer line. It had been
suggested by Ramsey County to consider installing an
eight inch (8" ) force main which could facilitate higher
. flow capabilities.
Mayor Sather noted that the City does not always have
access to this property should a utility problem occur.
If the utilities would be the responsibility of the City
to maintain, the City would need access to handle any
problems, preventive maintenance and other related
issues. Mayor Sather further noted that the City had an
obligation within their corporate limits to provide the
accessibility to those kinds of services, however there
would need to be a good faith effort on the part of the
Department of Defense to offer some type of in-kind
payment for these services.
Council was asked whether this matter should be continued
until the next Council meeting to allow staff to research
the issues further.
Malone noted that the City should probably indicate their
interest in assisting the National Guard in pursuing the
land they want for their maintenance facility. This
would give the National Guard the opportunity to notify
the Pentagon that the City of Arden Hills was willing to
participate in the cost of this project, contingent upon
the ability to co-locate maintenance facilities.
.
---- ----- -------
. Arden Hills Council 4 May 9, 1994
MOTION: Malone moved, seconded by Probst to inform the
National Guard that the City of Arden Hills is
willing to participate in a cost sharing agreement
with them to install a sewer connection at Highway
96 and Hamline Avenue, contingent upon the ability

CELLULAR ONE ANTENNA CHANGE REOUEST
Community Planning Coordinator Fritsinger noted that the
staff was requesting clarification as to the direction
the staff should take to address the request from the
applicant to make changes to their existing antenna
located on the City'S water tower.
Cellular One had submitted a proposal to replace the
existing antenna with an eleven foot two inch (11' 2")
antenna.
. In reviewing the file, it was noted that the SUP process
had not previously taken place. A lease agreement which
included the terms for construction and placement of the
antenna was negotiated with the City. In reviewing the
ordinance, it was clear that an SUP was needed. The City
Attorney did clarify that this would be the correct
procedure to follow.
The applicant had identified a willingness to pursue the
SUP process, however, there are some time constraints in
meeting the deadline in replacing the antenna.
Malone commented that in order to properly handle the
request, he agreed that the SUP process was appropriate.
He further noted that the City had a lease agreement with
the applicant which allows them use of the tower for
which the City receives income. In addition, the lease
agreement allows the applicant to make changes to the
antenna located on the tower. Malone would like to find
a way to authorize the applicant to proceed with the
lease hold improvements while pursuing the Special Use
Permit process. He further noted that the applicant did
make a request to the City for these changes on March 30,
1994. This application could have been placed as an
. agenda item at the May Planning Commission meeting.
