PUBUC COMMENTS
Mayor Sather opened the meeting to public camment an itemS not on the agenda for
the meeting. There were na public comments.
UNFINISHED AND NEW BUSINESS
a. PUBUC; WORKS . A REQUEST BY THE ARDEN MANQR OWNER
FOR A CONNECTION TO CITY WATER
Person slated that the Public Warles Superintendent was unable to be present because
.of illness. She stated that the owner of Arden Manor Mobile Home Park has
requested a standby connection to the city water system. The piping is in place, and
it is proposed by the City that the cost be absorbed by the .owner, as in other business
or residence water connections. The Minnesota Health Department has reviewed and
would approve this standby connection.
. MOTION: Malone moved, secanded by Hicks, t.o auth.orize staff to provide the owner .of
the Arden Manor Mobile Home Park with cost estimates for a standby
. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JUNE 27, 1994 3
connection to the City water system.
Discussion: Probst agreed that it would be very desirable to have the mobile home park
connected to City water on a permanent basis. According to staff, there are a
few isolated homes in the City with their own well water. The City has no
authority to require connection to City water and can only encourage residents
to take advantage of City water service.
Aplikowski asked why the owner does not wish to connect to City water
permanently.
Mr. Francis Husnik, owner of Arden Manor Mobile Home Park, stated that
the property has always maintained two wells. In 1983, they were advised by
the State Board of Health that one of the two wells was contaminated. Under
state supervision the well was plugged. A new one was dug at a depth of
approximately 875 to 900 feet. Recently, notice was received that they can no
longer use the well that is 400 feet deep for a standby connection. It was his
understanding that the Army would supply a backup well. The Army has now
advised connection to Arden Hills City water for a backup system.
. The motion carried unanimously (5-0).
Person stated that Mr. Husnik has agreed with staff to come to the July 11, 1994
Council meeting to discuss the issue of the swimming pool.
Hicks stated that he is not happy about the swimming pool and requested that Mr.
Husnik come to the July 11 meeting with a specific plan. Arden Manor was notified
to prepare a plan within 30 days, which is tonight. He agreed to delay the matter
until the July 11 meeting but emphasized that the situation is unfair to the tenants who
are paying for a pool and are missing the summer's use of it.
Mr. Husnik stated that the pipes in the pool are broken. They did not fmd out the
pipes were broken until they tried to drain the pool at the end of last summer.
Hicks noted that it was not until spring that Arden Manor requested a modification of
the special use permit.
Fritsinger stated that staff did follow up on the Council's request to notify Arden
Manor management by letter about a meeting tonight with a copy to Mr. Husnik.
When he contacted Mr. Husnik by phone to make sure he would attend this evening's
meeting, Mr. Husnik stated that he had neither received the letter from staff nor from
the park's management. It was agreed then to postpone this discussion until the July
. 11, 1994 meeting.
. ARDEl'l HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JUNE 27, 1994 4
b. PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS
CG REIN - SITE PLAN REVIEW APPROVAL RECOMMENDED FOR SIGNAGE
PLAN - PLANNING CASE NO. 94-11
Fritsinger stated that the applicant is requesting a change to the signage plan which
was approved as part of the site plan review in 1984. The change is only for bay
Nos. 16, 17, and 18 of the complex which are occupied by Davanni's. The applicant
is proposing a sign that would extend across those three bays. The signage plan
requires that signs not be larger than 50 square feet. This deviation from the plan
would only be allowed for Davanni's, the major tenant of the mall. The Planning
Commission has unanimously recommended the proposal to the City Council.
MOTION: Probst moved, seconded by Malone to approve Planning Case No. 94-11, with
noted changes to the signage plan at Shannon Square, subject to the conditions
outlined in the memo from the Planning Commission, dated May 26, 1994.
. The motion carried unanimously (5-0).
DA VANNI'S - SUP REOUEST FOR APPROVAL OF A SIGNAGE CHANGE FOR A
WALL GRAPHIC - PLANNING CASE NO. 94-12
Fritsinger stated that the above motion approving the signage change would allow for
a Special Use Permit (SUP) applied for by Davanni's for a wall graphic neon strip to
run the full length of bay Nos. 16, 17 and 18. This graphic does not move, flash or
rotate; it is just a neon strip sign. The Planning Commission has recommended
approval of this request with a number of conditions: 1) the sign shall not move or
be animated; 2) the SUP shall be limited to bay Nos. 16, 17 and 18; 3) the sign shall
be subject to the conditions identified in the Shannon Square signage plan; 4) the
graphic shall be allowed only as long as Davanni's is the tenant of bay Nos. 16, 17
and 18.
MOTION: Malone moved, seconded by Probst, to approve Planning Case No. 94-12, a
Special Use Permit for Davanni's to put up a neon wall graphic under the
constraint of the conditions set forth by the Planning Commission and by
staffs memo dated May 26, 1994. The motion carried unanimously (5-0).
. RYDER - ZONING AMENDMENT - REOUEST TO ALLOW THE SCHOOL BUS
TERMINALS TO OPERATE IN THE R-l DISTRICT BY SUP AS RECOMMENDED
------ -~-
. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JUNE 27, 1994 5
BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION - PLANNING CASE NO. 93-15
Fritsinger stated that the applicant is requesting that the zoning ordinance be amended
to allow a bus terminal under R-l Zoning District at 1901 West County Road F. This
proposal was reviewed by the Planning Commission in January with ongoing
discussions over the last six months. The Planning Commission had a deadlock vote
of 3/3 to amend the ordinance earlier this year. Staff was requested to refine the
ordinance amendments and return them to the Planning Commission for review. The
City Council did amend the Land Use Plan from an industrial area to low density
residential. The revised amendment was approved by the Planning Commission and
allows for the bus terminal to continue operation at the present site. Any changes to
the terminal will be limited to that site only, and not in any other R-l districts. No
other R-l Zoning Districts shall be affected. The Planning Commission made one
minor change to further define the site as a school bus terminal to be associated with
the transportation of students, not an MTC bus terminal. The zoning ordinance
requires that the bus terminal location be located within 300 feet of a general
education school and on an arterial or collector street. The present site is the only
one known to qualify within the City. The Planning Commission approved this
zoning ordinance amendment on a three to two vote. The commissioners who voted
no stated that they believe the district should be zoned R-2 or R-3.
. Probst stated that he would favor the amendment, but he is concerned about
improvements that are needed to the site and is unsure if the City can legally require
an acceptable level of improvement to the facility. To go forward with this zoning
ordinance amendment seems to be the solution to give the City the most control
possible over the situation.
Hicks asked if a location near Bethel College would qualify as a proper education
facility, as there is space near the college.
Fritsinger responded that a college is considered to be a higher education school
rather than general education.
Aplikowski stated that action by the City will improve the facility, and the operation
will be contained to a reasonable level for the neighborhood. She asked what
advantage there would be to zoning the district R-2.
.
Fritsinger stated that it is a long-term view of the site. If the bus terminal were to
leave, the question would be whether the area should be developed with single family
homes or a higher density.
MOTION: Hicks moved, seconded by Malone to approve Planning Case 93-15, that
modifies the R-l district to allow a SUP for the school bus terminal, located at
. 1901 West County Road F, subject to the recommendations of the Planning
.. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JUNE 27, 1994 6
Commission. The motion carried unanimously (5-0).
ANDERSON VARIANCE REOUEST - PLANNING CASE NO. 94-15
Fritsinger stated that the applicant submitted a 6-foot sideyard variance plan for a
garage at their home on Floral Drive last fall. The Planning Commission denied the
application due to lack of hardship. The applicant has revised the plan to a 3-foot
,
sideyard variance. The applicants state that reasonable use of the property by today's
standards is not possible because of the house location and being limited to a single
car garage. The applicant has completed a recent survey which indicates that the
home location is not where the building permit indicates. One building permit shows
a 13-foot setback on the west. A different permit shows different dimensions. The
survey found that both of the permits are incorrect. There is, in fact, a 17-foot
setback on the west side and 6 feet on the east side. The applicant and adjacent
neighbor have observed the wrong property line for many years. After considerable
time, the applicant, working through an attorney, was able to propose an alternative
solution in the form of a Boundary Line Agreement to act as a lot split but without
any change in ownership. City Attorney Filla has reviewed the proposal and has
indicated that the Boundary Line Agreement is a reasonable solution to the problem.
The placement of the house can be recognized as a hardship.
. Fritsinger stated that the survey also indicated a discrepancy on the correct right-of-
way in the front yard. Both the City's map and the applicant's detailed abstract show
the right-of-way to be 30 feet. The County shows it to be 33 feet. No one has an
explanation for the additional three feet. The Planning Commission decided that
because the right-of-way is unclear, the applicant only needs to address the sideyard
variance. The Planning Commission gave unanimous approval to the three-foot
sideyard variance on the basis that the improper house location stated on the building
permit constitutes a hardship.
Hicks asked if the Boundary Line Agreement is now in place with the neighbor and
how it will affect future, potential development.
Mr. Anderson, owner of the property, stated that the Agreement was filed with
Ramsey County last Friday, June 24, 1994. The agreement specifies that the
Andersons and lohnsons and their successors shall adhere to the Agreement forever
more. The conditions of the Agreement shall go with the sale of the property.
Malone commended the Andersons for working out this solution.
MOTION: Hicks moved. seconded by Aplikowski to approve Planning Case No. 94-15,
to grant a three-foot sideyard variance on the basis that the home is
. inappropriately placed relative to the original building permit, and the fact that
.
. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JUNE 27, 1994 7
a Boundary Line Agreement with the neighbor to the east has been reached to
minimize the variance request. The motion carried unanimously (5-0).
SITE PLAN REVIEW - RAMADA - PLANNING CASE NO. 94-10
Fritsinger stated that in 1993, the City approved an outdoor patio for the Ramada Inn
adjacent to McGuire's. Approval was subject to several conditions and a one-year
review period. The applicant has now requested approval for the patio with one
additional condition, which would be to eliminate .the sidewalk required along the
south side. The sidewalk was primarily included to help delineate fire lanes. The
existing sidewalk on the east side ends at the front entry, and there is also a small
sidewalk on the west side. A sidewalk on the south would not connect to either of the
existing sidewalks. In checking with the Fire Chief and Code Enforcement Officer, a
sidewalk would not be required if the fire lane is adequately identified. Recently the
parking lot was completed with asphalt and restriping. The landscaping requirement
will be done as part of a change in franchise from Ramada Inn to Holiday Inn. Staff
has found no documentation of concern or complaint regarding the patio proposal and
recommended approval to the Planning Commission with the exclusion of item No. B,
a sidewalk on the south side. After a lengthy discussion, the Planning Commission
. approved the site plan, subject to the conditions listed in the Planning Commission
minutes of June 1, 1994, on page 16.
Probst asked if the landscaping would be done on work that is approved but not
proceeding.
Fritsinger stated that the Planning Commission did not discuss that issue. They
stipulated that the landscaping plan be submitted to the City by September 1, 1994.
Aplikowski asked if that is a realistic deadline with the changeover in management.
Fritsinger stated that Planning Commissioners asked the same question, and the
applicant has stated that the improvements can be completed by September 1, 1994.
MOTION: Probst moved, seconded by Aplikowski to approve Planning Case No. 94-10
for an outdoor patio at the Ramada Inn, subject to the conditions outlined by
. the Planning Commission. The motion carried unanimously (5-0).
ADMINISTRA TOR COMMENTS
As a point of information, Person referred Councilmembers to the report on street
. improvement prepaid assessments that was included in the Council packet.
,
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL. JUNE 27, 1994 8
..
Person noted that the construction of the TCAAP interceptor is underway for waste
control. The City will maintain an interceptor connection for possible reimbursement
at a future time.
Person requested the Council's intentions for filling the two vacancies on the Planning
Commission. Applications have been received from Christine Anderson, Greg
Larson, and Brent Nelson. Only one additional application was received.
Probst noted that at a previous meeting mention was made of two other individuals
who may be interested.
Fritsinger stated that the two outstanding individuals were notified by letter of the
Council's intention to fill the vacancies. Neither has responded, so it is staffs
understanding that there is no interest at this time.
Hicks noted that the Council has not accepted Mr. Ray McGraw's resignation. He
has indicated that he will serve until a replacement is appointed.
MOTION: Aplikowski moved that Christine Anderson be one of the appointees as a
member of the Planning Commission because of her ability and interest as
shown by her efforts for her own property.
. Mayor Sather noted that typically appointments are made by the Mayor and ratified
by the Council. Since he will not be serving after this meeting, he felt it appropriate
to step back from these appointments. He suggested perhaps Councilmembers would
wish to interview the candidates more formally which would be in the purview of the
four remaining Councilmembers.
Aplikowski withdrew her motion.
Probst stated that the issue is made more difficult with three candidates and two
positions. He agreed it would be good to learn more about the qualifications of each
one. He also expressed concern that the Commission has been short a full
commission for two months and he would like to see appointments made for the July
meeting.
Mayor Sather suggested that it may be appropriate to accept the resignation of
Commissioner McGraw to create the second vacancy.
MOTION: Hicks moved, seconded by Aplikowski to accept Mr. Ray McGraw's
resignation from the Planning Commission, effective June 30, 1994, with
direction to staff to send him a letter of appreciation for his years of service.
The motion carried unanimously (5-0).
.

ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCJL - JlJNE 27, 1994 9
.'
Aplikowski asked if the Council would like to intemew the three candidates.
Malone stated that would be his preference. The Planning Commission deals with
many complex matters of real estate law and other issues. It is important that the
appointees have a good understanding of planning issues and what the City is trying to
accomplish.
Mayor Sather instructed staff to mange 20-minute interviews with the three
candidates at the July 20, 1994 Council work session.
By consensus of the Council, it was agreed that proper notice has been given for the
Planning Commission vacancies and should additional applications be received, they
would not be considered at this time.
COUNCIL COMMENTS
Probst announced a tour of the new TCAAP cleanup process Wednesday morning,
June 29, 1994, which he plans to attend.
Probst noted the information from the Metropolitan Council regarding population
. estimates. He requested staff to review the infomlauon to verify the accuracy of the
numbers because, on the basis of population, the City is often evaluated negatively in
terms of need for professional services, and funding.
Malone noted that there are less than three people in the average household size and
less than 3,000 households in the City. He agreed with Probst's request that smff
review the figures for accuracy.
Aplikowski stated that last year the Council did give support to the Moundsview
Community Theater. There were no complaints. It is her understanding that the
whole Council must act together on this matter.
Person stated that support can be given by individual Counci1members or as a group.
Hicks stated that he does not see the benefit to the City to advertise through the
Community Theater. It is his personal preference not to contribute but he would
defer to the Council's wishes.
Consensus of the Council was to not make a fmancial contribution to the Moundsview
Community Theater this year.
Hicks stated that he has talked to City Treasurer Post and already the Community
. Service Fund is not performing as hoped. There is onty $10,000 in revenue which
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL. JUNE 27, 1994 10
. may significantly impact the program fund.
Person referred Counci1members to the memo from MSA regarding rerouting the
storm sewer on Amble Drive. It is Council's opinion that the estimate4 cost of
$70,000 would be too high for too little benefit.
Probst noted that residents on Amble Drive were told that the Council would follow
up on the storm water issue. He requeste4 that staff inform residents of the results of
the evaluation and the cost. If residents wish to pursue the matter as a neighborhood
improvement, the Council would be willing to support that venture.
Malone stated that when the lake was pumped in Arden Manor Park, the City paid for
most of the cost. The homeowner's association was going to establish a permanent
fund for the pumping station, which has never been done. He requested that the
City's minutes from 1986 be researched to remind residents of the status of this issue
and that the City indicated at that time that it would not pump the lake again.
Mayor Sather stated that twice residents have come to the City and requested that the
lake be pumped, which the City has done. Upon request by the Council, an
association of homeowners around the lake was to be forme4. It is important to
convey this message to them. The Council is willing to work with them in this
. common cause.
By consensus of the Council, it was agreed that residents would be provided with
copies of the infonnation from the evaluation estimate and copies of the relevant 1986
minutes.
Hicks thanked Mayor Sather for his many years of service to the City of Arden Hills
and the broad leadership he has brought to the City by streamlining City business in
an efficient manner. He will be greatly missed and he wished him the best of luck.
MOTION: Hicks moved, Malone seconded a motion to appoint Councllmember Probst as
Mayor of Arden Hills, effective July I, 1994.
Mayor Sather opened the floor for comments or questions. With none, the
vote"was taken. The motion carried.
Ayes - 4 Nays - 0 Abstain - 1
(Mayor Sather)
Probst stated that it is important that the Acting Mayor position be filled, as he will
miss the first City Council meeting in July. As the former Acting Mayor, he
. requested that Mayor Sather appoint Councilmember Aplikowski to fill the position of
Acting Mayor through December 31, 1994.

Counci1member Aplikowski as Acting Mayor, effective July 1, 1994 through

years. He thanked present and preceding Councilmembers for their unwaivering
support. He thanked staff for their support of the entire Council. Most important1y,

Probst stated that on behalf of the Council and the City of Arden Hills, it is his

CALL TO ORDER/ROLL CALL
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, Acting Mayor Probst called to order the City
Council worksession at 6:02P.M. Present: Mayor Sather, Councilmembers Beverly
Aplikowski, Paul Malone, and Dale Hicks; City Administrator Dorothy A, Person; City
Accountant, Terry Post; Community Planning Coordinator, Brian Fritsinger and; City
Development Attorney Robert Deike.
Appearing before the Council on behalf of Everest Development, Ltd. were Robb Davidson,
Tim Nelson, and Jim Casserly, financial consultant. The preliminary development agreement
was reviewed for potential development of the Gateway Business District in Arden Hills. Nelson
reviewed that the City and Everest have considered possible development of the Round Lake
area for approximately a year and a half. There have been various reasons for this consideration
taking longer than was hoped, including one ofthe Everest partners leaving the firm.
I I
At this time Everest would like to ask the Council to consider discussing their concept
development proposal and the proposed preliminary Development Agreement. The agreement
includes a 90 day submission period for a number of documents to assist the Council in its
consideration of this project.
Everest requests that pay-as-you-go tax increment financing be used to assist with the
development of seven buildings, to reimburse TIF costs, including land acquisition, soil
correction, site improvements, etc.
Everest requests the City consider the issuance of tax increment bonds to finance the installation
of public improvements for the project. Financial consultant Casserly anticipates that the tax
increment generated by the development of the first two buildings will cover the City's debt
service on the bonds.
Everest requests the City assist in the development of the 12 acre "signature building" site for
office and/or corporate headquarter purposes. This site currently has an industrial building on
site. Everest states they will aggressively market the site but that timing will depend on the
market and the level of assistance available from the City,
Everest believes that the tax base created with this development will benefit all taxing districts.
. In 1989 when this district was created, the tax rate for calculating tax increment was frozen at the
then current tax rate of 89,381 %. Currently the tax rate is 132.142. These additional taxes will

DATE: Juce 30, 1994
TO: Dorothy A. ~iSO&1., CityllAwl..istrator
FRCH: ~ Terrazlce Post, City Accountant
SUBJECT: May 1994 Tax Settlement rnfOJ:llBti.cn
Ramsey Chmty has provided Ire with preliminary tax settlerrent inforrration
for the warrant they will be releasing Tuesday, July 5, 1994. This
settlerrent represents tax collections for the period frcm JanuaJ:y 1, 1994
to May 20, 1994.
An attached detail analysis schedule aco::npanies this lrellO. A few
obsavations frcm this analysis are \\Orth IlOting.
l. The City of Arden Hills will only be receiving a wa=ant in
the anount of $1,023,359.71 on'I\.lesday. The difference of
$22,618.18 frcm the settlerrent total represents the
satisfaction of the "taxes payable" the City had with the
County frcm the JanuaJ:y tax settlerrent. As you recall, the
. abaterrents paid out to successfully petitioning property
owners were greater than tax collections for this period and
resulted in the liability to the Chmty.
2. I believe the General Fund collection activity to be not
representative of what the City can expect for the renai.nder
of the year. There is a significant "pending petition"
backlog that, upon settlerrent, may have a material negative
effect on 1994 current, delinquent, and fiscal disparity net
collections .
3. Special assessrrent revenue in the PIR Fund (#501) , was
budgeted at $214,400. Included in this total was estimated
assessxent: prepayrrent activity. 'Ibe 1994 b..1d:3et assuned a 42%
prepayrrent zate ($89K), on assessable 1994 street improvement
projects. The actual rate was 24%, ($52K) .
Excll.lliin3" estimated prepayrrent revenue frcm this total budget
category, ($382K - $89K = $293K), non-prepayment special
assessrrent coHections are running at 45%, ($132K/$293K) as
opp:lSed to the 34.5% suggested in the schedule.
4. I will be booking the General Fund, debt service funds, and
tax increrrent funj preliminary settlarent revenue as a 6/30/94
tax receivable to facilitate mid-year financial analysis. I
cannot book the special assessrrent revenue as it was not
. currently available frcm the County.

June 30, 1994
Arden Hills Park & Rec, Dept.
My 5-year old daughter, Jennifer, just completed your pre- T Ball class, and I wanted to
write to say what a good job the coaches, Joe and Rob, did during the session. Having
done considerable coaching myself with kids, and knowing from personal experience that
the attention span of a group of 4 & 5 year oIds on a good day is about 30 seconds, the
coaches did what I consider an outstanding job of keeping the kidll interested and
attentive The improvement in all the kids was amazing for such a short period, and I
attribute that to the Joe's and Rob's upbeat attitude towards every kid. Even though there
was a wide range of abilities in the group, no kid was made to feel that they weren't good
. enough or that they didn't belong. In short, the program was a very positive experience,
both for the parents and the kids, a fact which I attribute in large part to Joe & Rob. Keep
up the good work,

FRQVl: l1Jl Te=ance Post, City Accountant
SOBJE: June 1994 cperating Results Ccmrentary
GENERAL FUND:
Revenue :
a. $ 9 2 7 , 122 in prcperty tax revenue was accrued as taxes
receivable (settlement will be 7/5/94). While collections
appear st~ against l::udJet, (55%), I am apprehensive that,
as the ccmrercial/industrial appeal backlog is \\OTked off,
paid abatements will erode this positive variance.
b. June was a strang llOIlth for license/pennit revenue. $33,664
. was credited to b..1ildin;J permits, ($26,582 for OXtage Villas)
and the balances of third quarter liquor license fees were
received ($6,600).
c. Intergovernrrental :revenue is only 9% of budget because HACA,
($95,345) and Firerran's Relief Aid ($105,000) distributions
have not yet been made by the State of Minnesota.
d. Fines and Forfeits revenue only reflects OJunty collections
received through May, (5 llOIlths). On a "nm rate" basis,
revenue is approx:i.nately 47% of budget rather than the 39%
shown.
Expenditures:
a. $5,021 was charged to the M3.yor/Council departlrent budget in
June for newsletter writing/editing, ($1,869), and printing,
($3,152) costs.
b. The Administrative Office department budget contains $5,846 in
year-to-date tenp:lrary clerical costs. There is a
con:esponding :recluctim in full-ti1re salary costs for the same
pericxi.
c. The Administrative Office has incurred 100% of annual ~es
. for insurance and capital items. Pro-rating these costs for
1
. the six l1Ol1ths \\UJJ.d SlJ3geSt a spend.inJ level of 50% of aIIIUIal
budget as qp:>sed to the 57% indicated.
d. The City continues to utilize less of Attorney Filla's time
than was I::u:lgeted ($4,199 actual versus $21,610 annuall::u:lget
or 19%) for non-prosecution legal fees.
e. Likewise, the City also continues to utilize less of Planner
Bergly's time than was I::u:lgeted, ($130 actual versus $15,000
annual budget, or 1%). In conjunction with the TeMP public
meetings, the Planning DepartrtEnt has inc=red $2, 750 in
professional services fees, (Brirreyer, $800 f= facilitatioos;
Huebsch, $1,950 for preparation of information materials) .
f. Fire Protection department expenses are not carparable to
June, 1993 Y'ID expenses in that 100% of the LJVFD contract has
been paid in 1994 versus only 50% in 1993. The aIIIUIal
contract price is actually <bm 2.6% in 1994 ccxrpared to 1993
($168,500 versus $173,000 in 1993) .
g. Street Maintenance department expenditures do not have any
all=ated 1994 paverrent management or capital I::u:lget
expenditures thus far.
h. Park Maintenance department costs are significantly
undenunning budget because of building/ground naintenance
. materials, (Perry Park) and acquisition of capital budget
items .
OIHER FONDS:
a. Program F\.1nd #226 Y'ID revenue ($69,219) is $8,228 (13.5%)
higher than the ccnparable period last year. YTD
expenditures ($48,234) are $919 (1.9%) than last year's
ccxrparable numbers.
b. Community Services Fund #225 YTD revenue ($13,930) is up only
rocx:lerately over the ccxrparable 1993 total ($13,019) = 7%.
However, the E\::lt-O-Gold Bingo Hall was closed for the early
rronths of 1993 and open for all of 1994. Fran this context,
1994 nay shape up to have worse revenue performance than 1993
and present operating subsidy transfer problems to F\.1nd #226
at year end.
c. Water, Sewer and SUrface Water Management expense generally
reflect three l1Ol1ths of revenue and six l1Ol1ths of costs with
the tw:> prirrary except:icns t:eiI:g seven l1Ol1ths of l"WCC cost and
only three nonths of City of Roseville purchased water cost.

SlJBJECI' : Arden Manor Swimning Pool
At its May 23, 1994 meeting, the City Cbuncil directed Mr. Husnik to
appear l:efore them to discuss the swinming pool closure. City staff,
including myself, Dan Winkel and Cindy Severtson, subsequently have
met with Mr. Husnik to discuss his available options.
On July 1, a meeting was held with Mr, Husnik and the park manager,
Tcxn Holrrquist. At this meeting, staff rracle several suggestions as to
arrenities which could l:e considered as part of a trade-off f= the
pool closure. These am:nities included sand volleyball, expanded
. basketball court, swings, slides, BBQ pits, horseshoes, shuffleboard,
picnic area, new tot lot, etc. Staff informed Mr. Husnik that if he
desired. to close the pool he would need to develop a pl:'Op:)Sal for
consideration by the City OJuncil at their July 11 meeting.
Due to the death of Mr. Husnik' s partner, a formal proposal was not
presented to City staff. The last proposal, which was discussed over
the phone with Mr. Holnquist, included the following:
1. Add 2 new basketball h=ps.
2. Relrove existing tennis court.
3. Const=t 2 new sand volleyball courts.
4. Irrprcwe drainage swale fran pond to outlet pipe.
5. Landscape existing pool area.
6. City continue to rraintain the basketball and volleyball
courts.
With Ms. Severtson on vacation this past week, it was difficult to
assess the proposal. However, staff believes the Cbuncil should l:e
conce:med that these replacement am:nities nay not be of the type
which would l:e available for use by all age groups. The park manager
. bas indicated that the pool is not available f= individuals under age
14, so this conCen1 is not appropriate,
U: ~ 7-1(4',
.
. Staff did discuss with Mr. H.\.isnik and Mr. Holnquist the possibility of
a resident su:rvey to determine their needs. No inf02:mation is
available as to whether this was carpleted by the park's managerrent.
Other issues to consider:
1. Who will perfOl:1ll long-tezm naintenance of new arrenities?
CU=ently, the p:xJI is naintained by the nobile bare park.
The proposed arrenities v.o.lld be located in the City
easerrent area and v.o.lld be required to be naintained by
the City.
2. Shculd drainage improverrents be considered a separate,
unrelated issue?
As you can see fran the attached letter fran Mr. Filla, it
appears that the drainage is the nobile bare park's
resp:msibility. The owner feels that by improving the
drainage as part of this proposal, the recreation park
will be made available for better naintenance and use,
. thus providing additional arrenities to the residents.
The City Council should keep in mind that in order to anend the SUP at
this titre, a new public hearing needs to be held. Appendix A requires
a review of the request by the Planning O:rnnission. The earliest this
could be done is August 3, 1994. I clarified this with the City
Atto:mey to ensure that the proper legal process is followed.
Other options the City Council may wish to =sider are:
1. Send this request to the Parks O:rnnittee for review and
ccmnent. TIlls was staff's recannendation as part of
Planning Case Rey;:ort #94-07. 'Ihere is not a Parks
Catmittee rreeting scheduled for July.
2. Consider the enforcerrent of the terms of the "Amended
Special Use Pennit" as described in the attached letter
from Mr. Filla.

RE: Arden Manor Mobile Home Park
Review of Special Use Permi~3
Our File No.: 10460/920003
Brian:
In response to your memo of May 13, 1994., I have reviewed the
following documents:
1. Special Use Permit dated February 12, 1993;
. 2. Amended Special Use Permit dated May 19, 1975;
3. First Amendment to the Amended Special Use Permit dated
December 27, 1976;
4. Second Amendment to the Amended Special Use Pe~it da~ed
November 28, 1977;
5. Third Amendment to the Amended Special Use Permit dated
October 17, 1978;
6. Fourth Amend~ent to the Amended Special Use Permit dated
April 27. 1992;
7. Miscellaneous Planning and Engineering Memos;
B. Miscellaneous Planning Commission and Council M1nu'tes
which I had in my file because of a prior review relating
to the collection of SAC Charges on the Arden Manor
Trailer Park. Sqme of these 90cuments .also incl~de
information relating to the Arden Manor Mobile Home Park
Recreational Easement. swimming pool, and storm se'Her
system. There are probably additional such documents in
the city files which I have not reviewed because they did
not relate to the SAC issues;

9. Unsigned copy of the Park and Access Easement; and
10. Arden Hills Ordinance No. 147.
As far as I can dete%'llline, the original Special Use Permit
expired and the document which is labeled "Amended Special Use
Permit" is the basic permit for the Arden Manor Mobile Home Park.
The "Amended Special Use Permit" has in turn been amended four
times since it was originally adopted.
The "Amended Special Use Permit" describes the parties; the
property covered by the Permit; and the conditions attached to the
issuance of the Permit. The conditions include compliance with the
provisions of the City's Zoning Code, the City's Mobile Home Park
Code, the State Building Code, the State Mobile Home Code, and the
State Department of Health Regulations. In addition, the "Amended
Special Use Permit" was issued subject to the specific requirements
contained in Sections I, II, III, and IV of the Permit.
The City's Mobile Home Code, which was incorporated in the
"Amended Special Use Permit" requires the Mobile Home Park Operator
to have one or more recreational areas which were to be owned and
maintained by the operator of the Mobile Home Park. In fact, as
. approved, the Mobile Home Park hag two such areas. The
Recreational Easement covered the ball fields, tennis courts, etc.,
and ef=ectively modified the provision of the Mobile Home Ccce by
indicating that the Mobile Home Park Operator would construc~ the
facilities for the Recreetional Easement Area according to City's
specifications but that after dedication of the Recreational
Easement, the City would be required to maintain the facilities in
the Recreational Easement Area. The swimming pool, although
required as a condition of the "Amended Special Use Permit" was not
located within the Recreational Easement Area. Therefore, the
swimming pool was to be constructed and maintained by the Mobile
Home Park Operator pursuant to the provisions of the "Amended
Special Use Permit" and the provisions of the Mobile Home Park Code
which is incorporated within the Permit.
It is clear that the Recreational Easement Area and the
facilities constructed therein were intended to satisfy the Mobile
Home Park Operator's park dedication and/or cash in lieu thereof
requirement. As far as I can getermine, the construction and
maintenance of the storm sewer system was and remains tl':.a
obligation of the Mobile Home Park Operator. I cannot find a
record of conveyance of a storm water and/or drainage easement to
the Cay. If the City's ability to properly maintain th:e
Recreational Easement is being obstructed by the Mobile Home Pa=k
Operator's failure to properly construct and/or maintain the stcr~
. drainage system for the Mobile Home Park, the Mobile Rome Park
---- ~-
.
Br~an Fritsinger
May 18, 1994

Operator should be instructed to correct the storm drainage
problem.
The City may enforce the terms of the "Amended Special Use
Permit" in the fo~~owin9 manner:
1. The City may conduct a public hearing for the purpose of
considering the revocation of the Special Use Permit for
the Mobile Home Park. Since the Park is deve~oped and
occupied, this alternative would probably be frowned upon
by a Court: or
2. The City can cOllUuence litigation requesting a Cour~ to
issue an order requiring the Mobile Home Park Operator to
comply with the terms of its Permit and requesting that
the City be awarded its costs in pursuing such an action.
It is also possible for the City to re-evaluate the
recreational needs of its residents who reside within the Mobile
Home Park and to amend the terms of the Special Use Permit if
appropriate. If you have any questions, please contact me.
. Very truly yours,
JPF:bap

StJB.JECl' : Candidate fi1iIlg dates
In dete:r:mining when the dates for candidate filiIlg 'Nere, I looked at the
Minnesota Rrlllot Bulletin, published by the Secretary of State, Elections
Division, which has an elections calendar printed on the back. TIlat
calendar says "July 5 First day to file affidavits of candidacy for
offices to be naninated at the September 13 primary." 'Ibis was the only
filing date given for anyone wishing to be a candidate in an election.
The calendar goes through September 15 and does not note another filing
date in August or September. (See attached) .
I also attended the trai.ning session offered by the State at St. Cloud.
They also =ntinued to talk al:out the filing dates of July 5 - 19. When
. SCXlE'ale asked if this was also true for th:lse cities not havi.n3" a primary,
the response did not ever fully answer the question; and they never
mentioned another filing date. In retrospect, I slDuld have pushed for
rrore definite info:z:mation regarding the filing dates.
Because I was a:nfuse:i ab:ut the filing dates and the SepterrtJer prinaries,
I called Renee Coffey at the Secretary of State's office, Election
Division. On M:mday, June 27, I talked with her and specifically said
that Arden Hills was not having a prirra:ty electicn, rot wanted info:z:mation
:regarding the candidates affidavits for filiIlg. Ms. Coffey said that we
had to have primaries because of the State elections. I then told her
that was one of my questions, as I wasn't sure if the City's precincts
'Nere to open for the September primaries if they 'Nere only participating
in the General Elections. I then asked her al:out the affidavits for
carrlidate filing. She asked me heM many I needed and when I said perhaps
25, she said, "If you have 25 pecple file, then you will need to have a
primny." I rem=mber then discussing with her the need to have these
affidavits before "'II.Jesday's filing date." At that p:>int she said that I
could get the affidavits frcm Ramsey County, rot since I had called, she
would send them and I should have them in time. I did receive them on
'Ibursday, June 30.
I told J:brothy the inforrration that I had l::een given by Ms. Coffey and she
said that she thought the filing dates 'Nere later in the surrrrer. She
asked me to check with another city. I did and the clerk said the filing
. dates were July 5 - 19. I later asked her in a subsequent call if they
~ holding prirraries and she said she 1>O.lldn' t k:ncw until they had rrore
candidates file.
ec.:~ 7-/1-9</,
.
. Candidate filing 2 July 7, 1994
So, based on the infmmation I received frcm the State's elections
division and another Metro city, I published the notice of Candidate's
filing beginning July 5 and ending July 19 in the ~ and posted the
notice at City Hall.

RE: Elec~ion Procedures
Affidavi~$ of Candidacy
Our File No.: 10450/920001
Dorothy:
City elections are governed by the provisions of Minnesota
Statute Chapter 205. The City Council has the discretion to adopt
a resolution which establishes a primary election system (M.S.
205.065, Subd. 2). However, it is my understanding that this type
of resolution has not been approved by the City Council and that
everyone who files for eleotion within the City of Arden Hills haa
. their name placed on the ballot for the general election.
If a city does not have a primary election system, the
Affidavits of Candidacy must be filed not more than ten weeks nor
less than eight weeks before the municipal general election (M.S.
205.13, Subd. 1) . A notice stating the first and last days on
which to file Affidavits of Candidacy must be published at least
two weeks before the first day for the filing of an Affidavit of
Candidacy and must be posted at least ten days before the first day
for the filing of an Affidavit of Candidacy (M.S. 205.13, Subd. 2).
As all of this relates to 1994, the notice should be published
no later than August 16th and should be posted no later than August
20th. The filing periOd would be open from August 30th through
September 13th. Candidates should not be allowed to file before
August 30, 1994.
The Minnesota Ballot Bulletin Which contained tho 1994
Municipal Election Calendar applied to those cities that have
chosen to conduct primary elections. Therefore, those dates are
not applicable to the City of Arden Hills.
If you have any questions, please contact me.
Very truly yours,

SUBJECT : Bethel College. TeupOraZY Office Building
In 1989, the Arden Hills City Council approved the installation of a
terrp:>rary office building in the central area of the carrpus at Bethel
college . This stru.cture was to be rerroved by October 1994, but the
College was given the option of requesting an extension on this
deadline .
Attached you will find the request frcm Bethel College to extend their
use of the terrporary building housing the Continuing Studies offices.
This request is a result of increased emollIreIlt and the lack of
. office space.
On July 7, you and I discussed this request and concluded it could be
sent directly to the City Council. This was based on the caments
included in the case file where Bethel could sul:mit a request for an
extension .
Staff has met with Bethel and inspected the building in question.
Over the last five years, a rn.nuber of inprovements have been rrade to
the building which inprove upon its aesthetic appearance. The
building site is located on the canpus so that it is not highly
visible to vehicle or pedestrian traffic. The building meets all
building cede requirerrents and does not appear to be creating a
hazardous condition.
Staff 'I.OUld reccmrend approval of the extension until October of 1998.

Arden Hills, MN 55112-5794
Dear Brian:
As we discussed this week we are requesting an extension for the
use of our temporary building housing our continuing studies
offices. The original intent was to use this building until the
Community Life Center was completed and office space was made
available. Due to budget constraints most of the office space in
the Community Life Center was eliminated. Additionally our
Continuing studies program has grown beyond our projections.
Chalberg Missionary Residence was considered for renovation into an
office complex but increased student enrollment has dictated it
remain as a housing unit.
We have commissioned an extensive Campus Master Plan by the firm of
. Bentz, Thompson, and Reitow of Minneapolis. The results of this
Master Plan will form the basis for future campus development and
building programs. We anticipate short term and long term needs to
be addressed with additional construction projects. In the mean
time, we request an extension of the use of this one temporary
building until October, 1998.
with the above mentioned planning and subsequent construction, as
well as a complete renovation of "Nelson/Kresge Mall" scheduled for
1998, we do not anticipate requesting additional use of this
facility at this location.
Thank you for your consideration and I wait direction from you as
to any additional information you need to expedite this approval
process.
Sincerely,

ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JULy 11, 1994 3
. PUBLIC COMMENTS
Acting Mayor Aplikowski opened the meeting to public comment on items not on the
meeting agenda. There were no public comments.
UNFINISHED AND NEW BUSINESS
A. REVIEW OF SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR ARDEN MANOR (SWIMMING
POOL)
Fritsinger stated that at the last Council meeting the owners of Arden Manor Mobile
Home Park were requested to bring a proposal to address amenities for park residents
to compensate for the loss of the swimming pool. Staff discussed possible options
that park management might offer in place of the swimming pool facility, which the
owner states is too costly to repair. Park management is proposing to construct two
new basketball hoops, remove the existing tennis courts, construct two new sand
volleyball courts in place of the tennis courts, add additional drainage landscaping
improvements, correct drainage problems from the pond to the outlet pipe on the
south side of the park, put in additional landscaping near the existing pool. Staff is
concerned that not all age groups will benefit from the proposed amenities, especially
younger children. Another question is whether drainage improvements should be
. considered as a separate, unrelated issue. Correspondence has been received from
City Attorney Filla indicating that the storm drainage responsibility should be separate
from the recreation proposal.
Hicks suggested that long-term maintenance agreement could be worked out with
Arden Manor for the maintenance of any facilities built on the City park easement
area. He asked if any residents have been involved in preparing an alternative to the
pool. Residents present indicated that they had not.
Fritsinger stated that he had suggested to the park management that a survey of
tenants be conducted, but it has not been done at this time.
Hicks stated that if the swimming pool were in use, it would not be available for
children under the age of 14. It was his understanding from the public hearing that
children under 14 do use it, even though they should be accompanied by parents.
Malone noted that the park management agreed to provide a recreational facility in the
form of a swimming pool nearly 20 years ago. The SUP granted by the City
depended upon the swimming pool as a condition of approval. At this time he sees
nothing to cause the City to back away from that requirement. This does not mean
the conditions of the SUP cannot be amended with a good plan for alternative
recreation facilities, that a poll or survey should be taken to allow residents to express
. their preferences. Malone stated that he would have to have that type of information
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JULy 11, 1994 4
. before he would back away from the original requirements of the SUP.
Hicks concurred. At the last meeting he requested that a specific plan to address
recreational needs of residents be presented at this meeting. Half of the summer has
gone by without use of the pool, and he does not want to see another summer go by
with the loss of recreational opportunities for which residents have paid.
Acting Mayor Aplikowski added that the needs of younger children must also be
addressed. Even if children were not supervised properly, it would be hard to believe
that children under age 14 did not use the pool. The owner and management have
been remiss in not bringing this issue before the residents of the park, and she would
not accept the present proposal as an alternative. The Council could insist that the
pool be repaired and reopened. Capital improvement funds should have been
budgeted over the years to keep the pool in good repair.
Hicks asked if the pool could be operated without the major repairs and expense.
Mr. Husnik stated that there is leakage in the underground pipes and he does not
know where they are. Every spring approximately $3,000 to $5,000 is spent patching
and repairing the pool before it opens.
. Hicks noted that it is July 11, and no one knowledgeable about pool maintenance has
looked at the problem or given an estimate of the cost.
Mr. Holmquist stated that the repairs are estimated at $10,000.
Mr. Husnik asked if the pool has to be fixed, would the City repair the tennis courts
and ball diamond which have been unusable for the last three years.
Filla stated that his understanding of the problems with the City portion of the
facilities is caused by the drainage problem. It would not make sense for the City to
spend public money on these facilities before the pool and drainage problems are
resolved.
Mr. Husnik stated that the flooding problem cannot be remedied without drain tile.
Acting Mayor Aplikowski stated that for Arden Manor to stay in operation and in
good faith with the City of Arden Hills, a better alternative plan is needed or the
swimming pool repaired.
Malone recommended that the Arden Manor Park owner be directed to take action to
comply with the SUP with regard to the pool or prepare a complete recreation plan
alternative accompanied by information from park residents that they support the plan.
. If the pool is not repaired or an alternative plan is not in place, then the City Attorney
------ ---------
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JULY 11,1994 5
. can be instructed to take action for a Court order requiring compliance, with penalties,
court costs and City costs related to such action to be the responsibility of Arden
Manor.
Lynn Franzen, 2015 Todd Drive, stated that it would be wonderful if residents could
give their opinion. She would accept an alternative plan because her children are too
small to use the pool alone. She requested that all residents are polled, not just a
small percentage.
Hicks asked if there is a park residents' association.
Ms. Franzen stated that residents are working to organize one. She stated that she is
certain that enough residents would volunteer their preferences for management to get
a true reflection of their wishes.
Acting Mayor Aplikowski asked if the residents hold resident Park meetings.
Ms. Franzen stated that meetings have not been held since the last management.
Ms. Susan Langer, 4650 Park Court, stated that the pool was functioning when Mr.
Holmquist came. Since then the pool has not even been drained. The recreational
. facilities are not adequate. She showed pictures of the conditions to Councilmembers
and asked how management will keep up with new equipment. She moved in one
year ago, and one of the reasons was because of the pool. Her rent was raised last
February, and she hopes something can be done this summer because residents are
paying for something they are not getting.
MOTION: Hicks moved, seconded by Malone, that by the next Council meeting, it will
be expected that the owner and management of Arden Hills Manor provide the
Council with evidence that action has been taken to repair the pool and put it
into proper operating condition to comply with the conditions of the Special
Use Permit; or come prepared with an alternative plan for recreational
facilities that the park would install and maintain, with an indication that
residents have been adequately surveyed for their needs and interests and
concerns about this change; in order that a public hearing could be held
through the Planning Commission; or if neither of the above alternatives are
satisfied, the City will request that the City Attorney begin proceedings to
find Arden Manor in non:compliance with the Special Use Permit.
Discussion:
Filla noted that it will be difficult for staff to respond to any proposed
alternative, if that is the choice, unless it is received with sufficient time for
. review prior to the next Council meeting. He requested that an alternative
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCn. - JULY 11, 1994 6
. plan and survey results be submitted at least one week before the Council
meeting, by July 18, 1994. If the time frame is too tight, then the proposal
can be submitted for the following Council meeting. He emphasized that staff
will need time to evaluate an alternative proposal.
Hicks stated that in light of the tight time frame stated in the motion, he would
amend the motion to state that if the alternative plan is chosen as a remedy for
the situation, a plan must be submitted to staff by July 28, 1994, for review
before being presented at the Council meeting of August 8, 1994, with the
public hearing of the Planning Commission to take place in September.
Malone seconded the amendment. The motion carried unanimously (3-0).
Jennifer Uzen, 2061 Todd Drive, asked if residents would know what the
alternative plan is before it is presented to the Council.
Malone stated that he would presume that all or at least a majority of residents
will be fairly surveyed with an opportunity to voice their opinion.
Management should approach resident families to find out if they would prefer
an alternative plan or the swimming pool with the alternatives listed in the
survey.
. Mr. Husnik asked if there would be any problems if the pool is fixed.
Hicks stated that if the pool is fixed, then Arden Manor would be in
compliance with the Special Use Permit.
Filla added that the condition of the Special Use Permit would be fulfilled, but
there would still be the matter of correcting the drainage situation.
Acting Mayor Aplikowski stated that once the drainage problem is fixed, the
City will better maintain the park area.
Acting Mayor Aplikowski called a short break at 8:20 p.m. and reconvened the meeting at
8:28 p.m.
B. PUBLIC WORKS - STRIPING ISSUE ON COUNTY ROAD E
Winkel introduced Mr. Dan Solar, Traffic Engineer from Ramsey County to discuss striping
on County Road E from County Road 51 (Snelling Avenue) to Old Snelling Avenue.
Mr. Dan Solar stated that he had been requested by the Council to review striping on
County Road E with respect to parking issues in front of Freeway Park. From the west
. ramp onto T.H. 51 to Old Snelling Avenue, County Road E is approximately 52 feet wide
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JULY 11, 1994 7
. with four lanes and parking allowed on both sides. The traffic count is at approximately
8,000 cars per day. Based on the traffic volume, the road could feasibly be striped as a
three-lane roadway with center turn lanes and shoulders along the side. Or, the shoulders
could be dropped with four lanes up to the intersection.
Hicks suggested keeping the four lanes and eliminating the turn lanes with seven-foot striping
on either side for bike paths on either side.
Mr. Solar stated that could be done if there were four lanes on both sides of the intersection.
At the west intersection of County Road E and T.H. 51, he proposed a right-turn lane onto
the southbound Highway 51 ramp. Otherwise that intersection would stay the same. At
Hamline Avenue and Highway 51, one lane of traffic in each direction is proposed on
County Road E with on left-turn lanes onto the southbound Highway 51 ramp.
Hicks asked if cars are backing out into the lane of traffic.
Mr. Solar stated that at the present time they are backing into the right hand through lane.
To make these proposed changes, there would have to be some type of removal process of
the striping, such as sand blasting. Also, five detectors for the traffic signal would have to
be replaced at City expense.
. Hicks stated that if the right-turn lane is not widened, then the sensors would not have to be
moved. Now cars either go straight or turn right. Could this plan be implemented without
widening the right-turn lane?
Mr. Solar answered, yes. Now the curb follows a straight line. It is proposed to have it
taper with a turn lane. There are not a lot of left turns. Now there is only one lane for
through vehicles and right turns, such as County Road C and Rice Street. He does not
anticipate a lot of widening, seven feet now.
Mr. Solar stated that widening the land would not be necessary, but the detectors would
have to be moved. He will see what minimum amount of work can be proposed. The cost
of the detectors will be between $2,000 and $2,300 to be paid by the City and would have to
be approved by MN/DOT because it is their signal. If any overlay work is needed, the
County would take care of it. The City could request the County to add this right-turn
improvement onto another larger improvement project to defray the cost.
Malone asked if the curb would jJe moved.
Mr. Solar stated that currently the curb follows a straight line. It is proposed to have it
taper with a turn lane.
Malone asked if any parking would be available from Highway 51 to Old Snelling Avenue.
. Hicks noted that the major parking need is for hockey games in the winter.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JULy 11, 1994 8
. Mr. Solar stated that the other choice would be to allow 10 feet on one side for parking and
4 feet on the other side.
Severtson stated that the 10 feet on one side for parking would be preferable because there is
a fair amount of pedestrian traffic along that road. Several residents have expressed concern
about the fact that County Road E is seen as a four-lane road and pedestrians are not given
the right-of-way at all.
Mr. Solar stated that could be done. The only trouble with making a wider shoulder on one
side is that there will be drivers who try to use the parking lane as a driving lane.
Hicks noted the two driveways at the intersection of T.H. 51 and County Road E. Cars
could turn left into the first driveway without trouble but not the second one.
Mr. Solar stated that there should be medians at that intersection. If the bridge is rebuilt,
there will be a concrete island all the way through. Islands are typically used to protect
signalized intersections.
Hicks recommended that this plan be sent to the Public Safety Committee for review.
Mr. Solar stated that he would like to receive direction from Arden Hills for the restriping
. project.
Malone asked how late in the season striping can be done.
Mr. Solar answered, until late October. The County will have to request that the state
approve the work. He would like to see it done by late August or September.
Malone stated that the City can respond after the Public Safety Committee meeting by the
first Council meeting in August.
REVIEW OF 1994 PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT SCHEDULE
Winkel referred Councilmembers to the 1994 pavement management schedule in the Council
packet. He reported that the work will begin Monday, July 18, 1994, to remove the
blacktop from Dunlap and storm sewer work will begin Tuesday, July 19. The Bussard
Court reconstruction will start soon after. The Keithson Road cold-in-place recycling and
Amble Drive reconstruction projects will begin towards the end of July or the first part of
August. NSP will be moving the gas main on Amble Drive, and this work should be
completed within a couple of weeks.
.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL. JULY 11, 1994 9
. C. PERRY PARK. APPROVAL TO CALL A PUBLIC HEARING
Severtson stated that a public hearing is part of the process to apply for a grant for the
redevelopment of Perry Park.
MOTION: Malone moved and Hicks seconded a motion to set a public hearing for
Monday, July 25, 1994, at 7:30 p.m., to consider plans to apply for a federal
grant that would co-fund any reconstruction of Perry Park. The motion
carried unanimously (3-0).
, ADMINISTRATOR COMMENTS
Person stated that on July 25, before the next Council meeting, staff plan to do a preliminary
review of the second draft of the budget with the Council. A motion would be needed to call
the meeting at 6:00 p.m.
MOTION: Malone moved and Hicks seconded a motion to amend the starting time of the
July 25, 1994 Council meeting to 6:00 p.m. The motion carried unanimously
(3-0).
. The League of Minnesota Cities has notified local officials of the recent ethics law now in
effect prohibiting any gifts to public officials.
Members of the T-Ball class have written a letter to the Park and Recreation Department
expressing appreciation for the staffs work.
Person called attention to the misunderstanding on the notice of filing for candidacy in local
elections this fall. She explained that most cities have primaries for local elections which is
not the case in Arden Hills. If Arden Hills had a primary for local elections, the calendar
would be accurate. There will be a statewide primary in Arden Hills, as in other cities. The
period for filing affidavits of candidacy for local office is August 30, 1994, through
September 13, 1994, for the election on November 8, 1994. Filings for the local election
cannot be accepted until August 30, 1994.
Filla recommended that new notices be sent out and one staff person designated to answer
any questions of anyone who comes in to file. Malone indicated that he understood from a
Secretary of State employee that there would be a court decision to allow for the August-
September candidacy filing. Filla indicated that since this is clearly a miscommunication, a
court ruling is not necessary.

ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JULY 11, 1994 10
. COUNCIL COMMENTS
Hicks stated that he will not be able to attend the Council work session on July 21, 1994.
Hicks asked what the forum would be for the joint Public Safety Committees' meeting among
surrounding communities for sheriff candidates. Winkel responded that the initiative came
from Shoreview for the committees to jointly discuss common issues with the Ramsey
County Sheriff candidates.
Malone noted that the striping on Hamline A venue needs to be done. Winkel stated that it
will be done in conjunction with the County Road E striping, which should be upcoming
shortly.
Malone noted that League of Minnesota Cities Managed Care Program for Workers' Compo
Person stated that this item will be on the worksession agenda in August. There may be
several viable service providers.
Malone expressed concern about the County's capital plan that may impact the city, i.e.,
County Road 1, Rice Creek, Old Snelling over Lake Josephine, that are scheduled in 1995.
Money has not been budgeted for these projects in 1995. Winkel added the bridge on Old
Snelling in Arden Hills is scheduled for 1995, at an estimate of $863,000. If the City pays
. two-thirds of the cost, that is $506,000 in 1995. T.H. 96 reconstruction costs have been
approved at an estimate of $713,000. Malone requested that staff check into plans of these
projects.
ADJOURNMENT
MOTION: Malone moved, seconded by Hicks to adjourn the meeting at 9: 18 p.m. The
motion carried unanimously (3-0).
