CITY OF ARDEN HILLS MEM:lRANOOM DATE: September/6, 1994 TO: Dorothy Person, City J\dministrator FRCM: Brian Fritsinger, (",..".",mity Planning CoordiIlaro@ SUBJECT: Park Dedication f= Planning Case #94-22 An application for Site Plan Review and SUP for Sts. VolodyrrrJr & Olga Ukrainian Orthodox Church has been submitted for review as part of tbe September 9, 1994 Planning Coll1nission meeting. During the discussions staff had witb the applicant, a ooncern was raised about the applicability of public use dedications for this project. Staff has reviewed Section 22-9, Public Use Dedications, of the Code of Ordinances for the City of Arden Hills. I have also attached a copy of this for your review. . The applicant indicated that for a number of reasons this dedication is not appropriate for this proj ect . After reviewing this with the City Attorney and previous case files, staff =uld recomnend that in this case the public use dedication should be applied. Mr. Filla did state, however, that the City has apparently negotiated tbese percentages in the past. Because of this, the City is not required \ffider this ordinance to receive the full dedications as noted. The ordinance specifically states that the developnent of property within the City will place a greater clerrand on tbe City's right to acquire land for parks, playgrounds, trails, wetlands or open space if the City's physical environment is to be preserved and enhanced. The ordinance does not specifically detail the requirements for a church or a non-profit organization. The ordinance sirrpl y states that the percentage of dedication for non-residential projects shall not exceed ten (10) percent. In this case, it is obvious that the dedication of land =uld not be appropriate. In lieu of land dedication, tbe developer may pay to the City an arr'O\ffit of cash equal to the percentage of land required to be . dedicated. This arrount is to be based upon the fair market value of Park Dedications Page 2 09/15/94 . the property at the tine of final approval of the developrent application. The m:Jst recent value of this 4.8 acre parcel of property available fran Ramsey Co\ffity is $175, 700 . At the tine, the North Heights Church Site Plan.was reviewed, a ten (10) percent dedication was applied. The Church dedicated 4.57 acres of land for park development which included three plus acres of park and plus one acre of pond. If these same standards were applied to the current application, a fee of $17,570 or .48 acre =uld be appropriate. As another carparison, Cottage Lifestyles, which is developing a 60 unit apartment cextplex on a 4.43 acre parcel is only paying the City $19,6000. This developnent requires and places a greater burden on the City infrastructure than the proposed church. However, the public use dedication ordinance only discusses the demand on open space not the demand on infrastructure. As I stated earlier, the applicant has expressed c=erns about being required to tmdertake public use dedication. They have cited recent . SUpreme Court decisions, non-profit status, and tax-exempt status as reasons for supporting the Church's position on tbe dedication requirements. By ordinance, the City Council must review and approve all public use dedication. The SUP for the church requires that the park dedication be resolved prior to tbe issuance of a building permit. Staff =uld like to resolve this as soon as possible. Staff =uld like the City Co\fficil to consider this issue further and provide any ccmrents it may have to staff at the =rksession meeting. The applicant may also wish to meet with a representative of the City Council to discuss this further. BF:to .

Dolan v. City of Tigard, 62 LW 4576 (June 24, 1994) . I have included a copy of this decision for your review. In Tigard, the Supreme Court said cities must . satisfy the fOllowing criteria, or the exaction of land for public use dedications would be considered an unconstitutional taking: 1- There must be a connection (an essential nexus) between a legitimate government interest and the dedication requirement. An example of a legitimate government interest would be a city's obligation to protect public safety and provide for local transportation. Therefore, a City could require roads to be constructed and dedicated by a developer. 2. If the essential nexus exists, the amount of the dedication must be roughly proportional to the projected impact of the development. In determining what amount of dedication is "roughly proportional," the Supreme Court stated that no precise mathematical calculation is required but a city must make some sort of individualized determination that the required dedication is related both in nature and extent to the impact of the proposed development. As an example, in a six-unit subdivision, it may be appropriate for the City to require that a developer construct a road and dedicate it to the public. However, an unconstitutional taking may occur if the road had to be constructed to the standards of a major thoroughfare as opposed to a regular city street. The Supreme Court in other cases has indicated that the U.S. . Constitution prohibits units of government from forcing Dorothy Person . August 2, 1994 Page 2 some people alone to bear public burdens which, in all fairness and justice, should be borne by the public as a whole. Armstrong v. United States, 364 U.S. 40, 49 (1960) . Two aspects of the state enabling legislation (M.S. 462.358, Subd. 2b) which allows a city to impose public use dedications should be reviewed in the context of the Tigard decision. First, Minnesota law requires a city to make a reasonable determination in regard to the public dedication requirement. The "reasonable determination" standard of our current state law seems to be consistent with the Supreme Court's recently enunciated "individualized determination" standard. Both standards require that cities review each application on a case by case basis. Second, Minnesota law states that a city can exact a / reasonable portion of the proposed subdivision for public use dedications. However, in Tigard, the Supreme Court specifically rejected the reasonable relationship test and instead adopted a "roughly proportional" test. Apparently, the precise meaning of the term "roughly proportional" will be left to future litigation. However, it appears that there is now a greater burden on cities to . show how the proposed impact of a subdivision would justify the amount of the public use dedication which is being required by the city. In my judgment, the text of the City's current regulation (Arden Hills Code 22-9) is consistent with both the Supreme Court's standards in Tiqard and with the Minnesota Statutes. Although the dedication is mandatory, the City's regulations indicate that the Council will be "guided" by the expressed percentage requirements. Therefore, the City's regulations retain discretion for the City Council. The City's discretion should obviously be exercised in a manner consistent with the Tigard standards. In its application of the Code, the City should: 1. Make sure that there is a connection between a legitimate public interest and the required dedication; and 2. Make sure that the amount of the dedication is roughly proportional to the projected impact of the development. . Dorothy Person August 2, 1994 . Page 3 There will be cases where the City will need to request less than the maximum percentages allowed and there may be cases where the City might not be able to require any type of dedication depending upon the impact of the project. The City should keep a record of the manner in which it determines the specific amount of a required public use dedication. If you have any questions, please contact me. Very truly yours, JPF:bap . .

MINUTES CITY OF ARDEN HILLS, MINNESOTA PLANNING COMMISSION WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1994 7:30 P.M. - NEW BRIGHTON CITY HALL CALL TO ORDER Chair Winiecki called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. ROLL CALL Present were Chair Jeanne Winiecki, Barbara Piotrowski, Dave Carlson, Steve Erickson, Gregg Larson, and Brent Nelson. Also present were Mayor Dennis Probst; Brian Fritsinger, Community Planning Coordinator; and Tammy Olson, Recording Secretary. Absent was Marty Rye. OATH OF OFFICE . Mr. Fritsinger administered the oath of office to Gregg Larson and Brent Nelson. Staff was directed to provide by mail the oath of office document to Mr. Larson and Mr. Nelson. APPROVE MINUTES Piotrowski moved, seconded by Carlson, to approve the Jul y 6, 1994 minutes. All voted in favor (6-0) . CASE #94-22: JOHN BUHAJENKO - LOT CONSOLIDATION. SITE PLAN REVIEW. AND SPECIAL USE PERMIT, HIGHWAY 96 AND SNELLING AVENUE. Chair Winiecki opened the public hearing for John Buhajenko at 7 :32 p.m. Recording Secretary, Tammy Olson, confirmed the publication of the Notice of Hearing in the Focus on Tuesday, August 23, 1994, and mailing to affected property owners on the same date. Chair Winiecki proceeded to explain the hearing procedures to the attending residents. Mr. Fritsinger stated the applicant is proposing to operate a house of worship in an R-l district. The applicant originally . applied for this request in Case #90-11. Both the Planning Commission and the City Council approved the case at that time. . DRAFT September Planning Minutes Page 2 09/07/94 . Due to the lapse of time which was over one year, the applicant is required to resubmit the plan to the Planning Commission. The proposal has been slightly scaled down from the original plans. Back in 1990, the City Council strongly suggested to the applicant that they acquire the adjoining lot located at the corner of Highway 96 and Snelling Avenue. This lot is also zoned R-l. The combined site is approximately 4.8 acres. The land use chart permits a house of worship in an R-l district by a Special Use Permit. Mr. Fritsinger further stated the proposal consists of a church, connecting area, and cultural center. A priest's residence will be located on the northwest corner of the site on the piece of acquired property. The church will have 150 seats, and the cultural center will hold approximately 300 people. The church is 4,600 square feet, the connector is 3,600 square feet, and the cultural center 6,200 square feet. The parking lot consists of 124 parking spaces. The Zoning Ordinance requires one (1) parking spot per three (3 ) seats within the facility. The church and the cultural center will not be used simultaneously. . Therefore, the largest portion of the building, which is the church, would be considered for the parking requirement. This would require 100 parking spots. The original plan which was submitted to staff had 176 parking spaces shown. The number of parking spaces was reduced in order to meet the minimum landscape lot area requirement of. 65%. The floor area ratio is .079 which is well within the .3 allowed in the Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Fritsinger stated the Zoning Ordinance also has a maximum height requirement not to exceed 35 feet. The entire height of the church is approximately 90 feet. The Zoning Ordinance does state that church spires, cupolas, and domes are exempt from the requirement. If you remove this additional height from the cupolas, the applicant meets all the height requirements stated in the Zoning Ordinance. The building will encroach onto the wetland to a small extent. Rice Creek Watershed District has approved the permit under an exemption. Because this development was proposed and originally approved before the current wetland laws were placed in effect, the plan was exempted. The City Engineer has reviewed the plans, and he has found no problems with the plans as submitted. The . DRAFT September Planning Minutes Page 3 09/07/94 . lighting, which will be used, consists of 100 watt bulbs in the courtyard and 400 watt bulbs in the parking area. There will be no-spillover effect created by the lights onto neighboring properties. In the area of landscaping, the applicant is proposing, at this point, to plant several shrubs and a six (6) foot high spruce in the center of the plaza. The site itself is heavily wooded. The applicant has shown several of the larger trees on the plans. There will be signs located on the north and east entrances of the church. The City Engineer has stated the church acts as a drainage conduit for area water run-off. The applicant is proposing an easement to the City for the drainage areas. Currently, the City doesn't have a drainage easement on the site, but the drain pipes are located there. In reviewing the North Heights Lutheran Church case file, it was the intention to continue this drainage pattern in the areas. Those same pipes are also recognized on their plans. The City Engineer doesn't see any problems with the applicant's plans as submitted. . The applicant is proposing two (2) accesses. The first proposed access is to the north from Highway 96, and the second is an access from Snelling Avenue. The City had previously anticipated this lot being developed and placed a curb cut on Snelling Avenue in the location proposed. There is some potential for cross-over traffic on Highway 96. Highway 96 is planned to be turned back to Ramsey County from MN DOT as of November 1, 1994. Mr. Fritsinger stated the applicant may have some additional information on the traffic access issue. Staff recommends that the issue be resolved with the applicant and Ramsey County prior to the issuance of a building permit. Mr. Fritsinger stated the first step in this case would be a lot consolidation. The new legal description has been confirmed with Ramsey County as being the following: The North 396 feet of the East 1/2 of the East 1/2 of the Northeast 1/4 of Section 21, T30N, R23W. Subject to the rights of State of Minnesota in that part thereof taken for right-of-way for Trunk Highway No. 96 . and rights of the public in Snelling Avenue. According D~ r-~: ; y ~r_.: ....~'..~ i:J ""-.. lI! September Planning Minutes Page 4 09/07/94 . to the United States Government survey. The Fire Marshall has concerns about the access fire trucks would have to the building, and he is requesting the applicant improve the fire zone area, located to the south of the building, to a ten ton capacity for the fire trucks and emergency vehicles access. The applicant has not yet negotiated an agreeable park dedication. Chair Winiecki asked if Mr. Fritsinger knew how high the symbol was on North Heights Church. Mr. Fritsinger stated no. Mr. Buhajenko stated what Mr. Fritsinger reported to the Planning Commission was correct. Oleg Gregoret, the architect that compiled the plans, stated Mr. . Fritsinger presented the case well. He wanted to explain the exterior materials to the Planning Commission. The cupolas are lead and copper which will soon age to a dark brown color. The lower part of the church will be screened from the streets. The wetland area is an asset to the structure. It will create a nice backdrop for the church. Mr. Erickson asked if eliminating the potential parking problem has been further planned, and if any thought was given to the over flow parking in the event of a wedding. It appears the cars will need to be parked either on the grass or Snelling Avenue. Mr. Fritsinger stated there were no discussions in regards to overflow parking with staff. Mr. Gregoret stated the fire lane could be used to park 20 more cars. Chair Winiecki stated the fire lane can't have any cars parked there. That is the purpose for a fire lane being located there. . Mr. Erickson asked if any plans were developed regarding the -- -- DRAFT . September Planning Minutes Page 5 09/07/94 expansion of more meeting rooms or educational facilities being planned. Mr. Gregoret stated there are no expansion plans at this time. Mr. Erickson stated the lot is being fully developed from the start leaving no room for any growth. Mr. Fritsinger stated the City is in the same dilemma with the turnbacks and what to do with their plans. Ramsey County stated November 1, 1994 was a realistic date as to when the roads would be turned back to Ramsey County from MN DOT. Mr. Carlson asked whose responsibility the improvements would be. He further stated if people decide to turn west bound, they will they be doing u-turns at City Hall. Mr. Erickson asked what the remaining exterior materials were. Mr. Gregoret stated the exterior is white with matching stone . trim and the copper cupolas. Ms. Piotrowski asked Mr. Buhajenko what the financial differences are now in relation to the project as it was in 1990. Will the money come from the members church or the Ukrainian American society? Mr. Buhajenko stated they have enough money to start the project. Reverend Stefan Zencuch stated there are two (2) additional congregations which are very closed and are strongly protecting the Ukrainian language and culture. This proposed church will be open to the public. It is the church of the new generation. It is an excellent opportunity or the youth in the Twin Cities. Chair Winiecki further asked if the wetland's size is being increased. Mr. Gregoret stated the land to the east of the wetland is unusable for parking or even a baseball field. He hopes that it will grow more north and create a background for the church. . -------..- DRAFT September Planning Minutes Page 6 09/07/94 . Chair Winiecki asked if there would be any curb stops in the parking lot. Mr. Gregoret stated no. He would like to keep the parking lot clear so the snow plow can clear the lot off better. Chair Winiecki asked if topsoil would be brought in. Mr. Gregoret stated so far, they have enough soil and none will need to be brought in. A structural engineer will determine if there would need to be any additional soil.

Mayor Probst stated Congressman Bruce Vento is in the process of creating a reutilization committee of about 20 people from a wide variety of sources. Arden Hills would be guaranteed at least one (1) seat. Some areas identified were labor, homeless, environment, economic re-adjustment, business, and local . citizens. Representatives from all the surrounding communities and Ramsey County would all have appointed representatives. September 13, 1994 will be the closing date for nominating applicants to participate on the reutilization committee. Mr. Fritsinger explained the concept of an RFP/RFQ for a master plan on the arsenal property. He asked the Commission to review the scope of services detailed in the draft documents. Some ideas would be: land use, traffic compatibility, thoroughfares, and utilities. Staff would recommend that based on recent discussions, it may be appropriate to fine tune the scope of services and advertise for request for qualifications (RFQ) . Mr. Erickson asked if the City is still planning on spending $60,000-$100,000 for an extensive plan. Mayor Probst stated the City is planning on budgeting money for the 1995 fiscal year. A statement was made at the Public meeting with Congressman Vento that Arden Hills does have the planning and zoning control over the land. The City will have significant influence in that process. He further stated of all the help and . volunteering that has occurred, there has been no money DO AFT "jl":l. . September Planning Minutes Page 12 09/07/94 . designated for the planning purpose by the reutilization committee. Therefore, it puts Arden Hills at even a stronger position, since they will be setting money aside for this. Mayor Probst stated that on Monday night, the City Council will, by resolution, decide who will be nominated by the City to be on the committee. Congressman Vento is aware of the interest Arden Hills has in the selection process for the reutilization committee. Mayor Probst stated that the Planning Commission should be active in this process and be prepared to be in a position to direct and guide them. He feels the diagram prepared by Ramsey County is a reasonable starting point for these discussions. Mayor Probst stated the need for active recreation facilities. The City would then want to program those facilities. Mr. Erickson asked where the plan is going from the committee. Is it the hopes that the governing body will adopt the plan? Mayor Probst stated this reutilization committee process was set up to handle base closures. It is to ward off having more than . one plan submitted from each interested group. Mayor Probst asked for the Commission to make a specific recommendation to the Council as to how they would like to proceed. Erickson motioned, seconded by Nelson, to recommend to the City Council a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) be drafted to identify potential consultants to aid in reutilization of the TCAAP property. The motion passed unanimously. (6 -OJ COUNCIL REPORT Mayor Probst welcomed the new members to the Planning Commission.

A REQUEST BY THE CITY OF ARDEN HILLS FOR A STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS FROM FIRMS INTERESTED IN SUBMITTING PROPOSALS FOR COMPLETING A MASTER PLAN FOR THE REDEVELOPMENT OF THE TWIN CITIES ARMY AMMUNITION PLANT (TCAAP). The City of Arden Hills is accepting statements of qualifications from firms interested in responding to requests for proposals to complete a master plan for the Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant (TCAAP). This area contains approximately 2300 acres ofland or four (4) square miles of the City. A team approach, in completing a master plan for the area, is expected in which the lead firm selected will be assisted in developing the plan by the Arden Hills Planning Commission, the City's Economic Development Committee and various neighborhood groups. It is expected that the public will assist in developing a vision for the kind of future this site should have and in establishing the goals for achieving this vision. In addition, it is expected that the public will review and comment on the various elements contained in the plan. The TCAAp area extends from County Road I on the north to Lexington A venue to the east, STH 96 to the south and Old Highway 10 to the west. This area contains approximately one-third of the City's land area and, other than vacant manufacturing and storage buildings is primarily open space. . Construction of TCAAP began during the months leading up to World War II. Ground breaking began on August 28, 1941 and within 90 days most of the major buildings were either constructed or well under way. Production of.30 and .50 caliber ammunition started in February 1942 and continued for 42 months before the installation was placed in standby status. The work force reached its peak in July, 1943, when employment totaled about 26,000. TCAAP was reactivated in August 1950 in support of the Korean Conflict and produced ammunition until December 1957 when it was again placed on standby status. In December 1965, the installation was again reactivated during the Vietnam Conflict until approximately 1976. Federal Cartridge Company (FCC), formerly known as Federal Cartridge Corporation, was the prime operating contractor during the construction and initial operation of the installation. Today, TCAAP has been down graded to caretaker status and is in the process of being declared excess. However, there are a number of tenants utilizing several areas and buildings at the installation. Numerous area and buildings at the installation. This type of use has also created an number of environmental concerns. To date, fourteen (14) disposal sites have been identified on TCAAP, with the main contaminants being solvents. The New Brighton! Arden Hills super fund site, consisting of a 25 square mile area of which TCAAP is a part, . was added to the National Properties list in 1982. A number of remedial actions have occurred on the site. . The site, however, does have large tracts which remain relatively untouched. That includes the 560 acre Marsden Marsh, one of the largest wetlands intact in Ramsey County, and the twelve (12) acre Sunfish Lake, which is used by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to raise fish. The site is also home to numerous wildlife including deer, pheasants, ducks, hawks and Blanding's turtles. The City has held several community meetings to begin discussions on the long term use of this site. The City Comprehensive plan, completed in 1982, also briefly discusses the land use of this site. The City is seeking a master plan for TCAAP that will include the following elements, among others: 1. A land use plan. 2. A thoroughfare plan. 3. A traffic compatibility plan. 4. A plan for revising, if necessary, appropriate building and development codes and ordinances. 5. A neighborhood economic development plan including potential funding sources. 6. An environmental impact plan. 7. A utilities plan. The master plan is to be prepared on the basis of community approved goals defining the visual, physical and livability qualities, as well as, the economic functions to be achieved or maintained in . this area. . ----.- .

Bev stressed that she wishes to review this cost item, similar to a budget item review~ She asks - for the price the City pays for the newsletter ($18,000) is our goal being accomplished.? She stated she has no problem with the style or format type issues. However, is the information timely enough to be of assistance/use to the citizens? Should the . , newsletter go out more often? Would a one page newsletter more often be of greatet;, value? By reading the newsletter, the reader should get a flavor of the entire City. Perhaps a feeling of being a part of the City. Perhaps a review of the City Council meetings on a more timely basis to allow for a more timely response to the issues~ Such as, when a road is going to be worked on, the citizens know what's happening before it's done. Bev said she's not against anything we've done so far. It's maybe time to review where we are and where we are going. A copy of the past two newsletter are enclosed per Bev's request for your review.

The Coll1nittee has requested that staff prepare these documents. . . The Community . 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 A venue. 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 eMSI), 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 of2,330 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 comer of 1-694 and I-35W. This area, which acts as the gateway 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 A venue, south of 1-694. This area has been rezoned to encourage the redevelopment into a compatible retail mix which would feed offthe 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. .

CITY OF ARDEN HILLS . MEM>RANOOM DATE: September 12, 1994 TO: Dorothy Person, City J\dministrat= FRCM: Brian Fritsinger, Ccmmmity Planning CoordiIlato~ \ SUBJECT : Options for the proposed City Hall. , \ Recently staff toured tbe vacant building at 1212 Red Fox Road as a potential site for a relocated City Hall. As I rrentioned that day, there ll'ay be several other sites that warrant the oonsideration of the City Co\fficil. Obviously, the key to relocating to a new site is whether or not the City is ccmnitting to the site long-term or short-term. I asSUIre that your discussions with the City Council have detailed the rronetary plans and alte=tives for a relocated or new City Hall. These alte=tive ll'ay have included: . 1. Retro fit and expansion of botb buildings on the present site. 2. Building new facilities on other sites 3. Tearing down and building new facilities on present site 4. Leasing or building new on tbe arsenal property. 5. Leasing facilities elsewhere in City. 6. Operate \ffider existing conditions. 1. Gate~v Business District. There are no vacant buildings in this proposed develq:m:nt but the City does = a=eage where a new building oould be constructed. Everest Develq:m:nt has indicated to staff that their firm =uld be interested in a lease/purchase project for a new City Hall. Advantaqe of the Site. A. Minill'al land acquisition costs B. Will assist in tbe future redevelopnent of the area C. May assist in potential land swap with Harstad D. Easy access E. Corrpatible with zoning, adjacent land uses . Options for a new City Hall Page 2 09/12/94 . Disadvrlnraoes of the Site. A. Lack of central location within City if TCAAP excluded B. Lack of visibility C. Public Works irrpact of project areas "irrage" 2. Control Data COl;poration There are 6 acres of land just north of Control Data which tbey have expressed an interest in Subdividing and selling. The property is adj acent to the municipal Water TONer. The area is zoned I-l and is 275'X664' in size. Utilities are readily available. Price is approximately $400,000-$500,000. The contact is Walt Seiler. Advantaoe of the Site. A. Central Location. B. Carpatible with surrounding uses. C. Minimal site irrprovements. . Disadvantages A. Proximity to Shoreview. B. Rerroves taxable parcel from base. C. Site may be to small to acccmnoda.te botb facilities. D. Prime development site rerroved. E. Site Acquisition costs. 3. Reil i no Property off NorthMJods Drive This site oonsists of approximately eight (8) acres of land. Ramsey County has placed a market value of $700,000 on the property. The property is located at the intersection of North=ods Drive and Red Fox Road. The owner is George Reiling. Advantages of the Site. A. Easy Access to major thoroughfares. B.

It is located at 1160 Grey Fox Road and has up to 90,000 square feet available for lease. The price range is approxirrately $3.00- $7.00 a square foot and Marquette Partners (48l-8070) is the oontact. Advantaaes A. Cheap leasing costs. B. Easy Access C. Carpatible witb surrounding uses. Disadvantages A. Industrial Irrage. B. Not available for acquisition. C. Location 5. 1157 Grev Fox Road This building is also primarily industrial\warehouse space. It . is located at 1157 Grey Fox Road and has up to 31, 890 Sq. Ft. available. The price range is $3.50 - 7.00 a square foot. The advantages and disadvantages are similar to 1660 Grey Fox Road. 6. 1212 Red Fox Rn;o" The building at 1212 Red Fox Road is for sale or lease by Jim Depietro, Garfield Clark. The price for the approx:irratel y 20,000 square foot building and 2 acres of land is negotiable. The building is an industrial/warehouse building with a large portion converted to offices. This area was recently rezoned B-4 to encourage rrore retail businesses. Disadvantages A. Site Acquisition. B. Prirre Developnen.t Site. . . Options for a new City Hall Page 4 09/12/94 Advantaoes A. Easy Access. B. Arrple Parking. C. Compatible with surrounding uses. D. Existing building. E. Easily Convertible F. Central location. 7. Grocery Store Site This site presents t= (2) options to the City. Located in Arden Plaza, this 24,000 square f=t space has been for lease since the fonrer grocery store vacated. The property on the SW corner of County Road E and Lexington Avenue is in the heart of the Arden Hills business area. The property is currently being managed by United Properties, 893-8264 while in receivership. The space in not large enough for a joint City Hall/Garage, but the City Hall could easily be accamodated. The other option is to acquire a different piece of retail property and relocate the . tenants to this site (ie. Bingo Parlor) . Advantaoes A. Key Carrnercial/Traffic Area. B. Location. C. Easy Access. D. Compatible witb surrounding uses. Disadvantage A. Cost of Acquisition. 8. Pot -O-Gold Binoo This site is approximtely 2.5 acres in size and is valued at $515,000. The City my wish to oonsider the acquisition of this site, relocating Pot-O-Gold elsewhere in the City and redeveloping it for a Dew City Hall. Advantaoes A. Prime Redeveloprent location. B. Easy Access. C. Compatible with surro\ffiding uses. . D. High visibility. . . Options for a new City Hall Page 5 09/12/94 . Disadvantaaes A. Oost of acquisition. B. Lack of space for joint Public Works/City Hall. As I have reviewed the space available in Arden Hills it is obvious that in a leasing situation only one site makes sense. The property at 1212 Red Fox Road can be oonverted for use by botb Public Works and City Hall at a minirral cost. If the City were to oonsider a site for new construction, I =uld hope that SCIre of the other options =uld be further discussed. . .

Present were Trygve Egge, Steve Friemuth, Mary Miller, Arnold Lindberg, Dan McCallum, Robb Carlson Jr., Beverly Aplikowski and Community Planning Coordinator Brian Fritsinger. Absent was Jerry Moehnke and Tom Goblirsch. 3. The Committee recommended that staff provide information about Congressman Vento's upcoming meeting. 4. Carlson moved to approve the minutes from the July 21, 1994 meeting. S. Busine5=:s Contarts Mr. Friemuth updated a discussion he had with Thomas . Babcock P.A Mr. Babcock's business has decided to stay in Arden Hills. Mr. Babcock indicated that Arden Hills is a bedroom community and not a business community Mr. McCallum talked to representatives at East Side Beverage who expressed concern about vandalism and theft. Otherwise the company indicated everything is okay, but it would like additional Police patrol. Mr. McCallum also discussed OWL Engineering who is looking for space. Mr. Fritsinger followed up and sent information about potential sites to OWL. Mr. Egge reviewed discussions with Control Data and its concerns expressed in the survey. Mr. Fritsinger reviewed the use of TIF as an economic tool by the City' of Arden Hills. The concerns expressed by Control Data were due to the City denying TIF assistance to a business considering the acquisition of a parcel of property from CDC. . ,. . . Economic Minutes Page 2 08/18/94 Mr. Egge briefly commented about the "no" vote on the proposed Rainbow. He also mentioned that a potential grocery store at "Target" is a possibility. 6 . Marketing Packet Mr. Friemuth indicated that he preferred the packet remain simple and straight forward. This would include demographics, land availability, business list, etc. He felt the City is trying to develop a very select market. Discussion continued about the type of packet and the information that should be included. City Staff should prepare some sample information for the next meeting. 7. The meeting was adjourned at 9:05 a.m. The next meeting will be held September 15, 1994. The agenda will be similar to that discussed above. . . . CITY OF ARDEN HILLS MEMORANDUM DATE: September 16,1994 TO: Mayor and City Councilmembers FROM: Dorothy Person, City Administrator SUBJECT: Temporary City Facilities Investigation (2-5 years) As you recall, at the August W orksession, the Council directed staff to put together information regarding improvements needed and anticipated costs to move Council and staff as a temporary measure (2-5 years), to the TCAAP Bldgs. 105 and 189~ In the interim, Commander's Rep Mike Fix advised Arden Hills that he anticipates by the first of the year these buildings to be occupied by a federal agency with 500 (approx) employees. He added that all federal agencies are being advised to move off leased land to land that is considered excess federal land, therefore reducing costs. He indicated that in the interim the City may use the space temporarily and as approved. but to plan anything more than that time period may be futile. Following this change, staff continued to investigate alternatives within the City limits. The attached memo from Brian lists alternatives reviewed and pros and cons. Also attached is various . background information from the 1990 study performed by the Citizen's Committee. The basic information is as follows: City Hall Public Works Current 2,700 s.f 4,752 s.f RFP 1991 Recommendation 8,400 24,280 Includes exterior 3,000 7,500 5,000 salt/sand Optional sites information investigated: 1. 1212 Red Fox Road 10,000 s.f 10,000 plus Offer: 4.75 s.fllease (on a two acre parcel) parking lot + taxes + expenses 2. 1160 Grey Fox Rd. 90,000 s.f warehouse only $ 3-7~00 s~f (anticipated) lease 3. 1157 Grey Fox Rd. 31,890 s.f warehouse only $3.50 - 7.00 s.f (anticipated) . . Land only possibilities: 4. Gateway Business District open 5. Control Data Corporation open 6 acres - $400,000 -- $500,000 quote 6. Reiling Property Northwoods Drive open 8 acres - $700,000 assessed value 7. Pot 0' Gold Bingo open 2.5 acres - $515,000 assessed value 8. Arden Plaza - open 24,000 s.f -lease (in receivership) The 1212 Red Fox Road site has been reviewed by staff and by Architect Jeff Oertel. General concensus from staff is positive, with the open question of how long to plan to be there. Jeft's feedback is that the roof is good with minor repairs necessary~ The floor for the public works/parks area would have to be strengthened, draining installed and air returns in place. He anticipates that at a minimum improvements would be approximately $300,000. A large parking . lot allows for more outside space for public works/parks, in addition to the providing space to the entrance area to City Hall. Additional office space would be needed, with some "fiiendliness" added to the front entrance and Council chamber area, which would not be expected to be a ll1l!ior cost item. The City water tower (south) is adjacent to this property. There may be some use ofthis land, although it appears limited. This zoning area is designated for retail in the future and thus would seem to be oriented toward future public accessibility. Current site - The repairs anticipated for the public works and city hall facilities were c approximately $200;tlOO:' These would be needed over a time period of more than 12- I 8 mos. The roofs repair may be needed at any time, they were expected two years ago~ In addition, a Council location would be needed soon. It may be possible to add on to the current site for the purpose of a meeting room alone, however Jeff warned about the trickiness of an add on to this roof The other sites are too large/small, or are in a business area not as conducive to the public contact work of City Hall as is the 1212 Red Fox Road. The alternatives of the Pot O'Gold or grocery store sites would improve the sites if a City Hall/Public Works facility were on site, but would require some additional costs and incentives for movement. Staff submits this infonnation for Council review and direction~ Based on this review, 1212 Red Fox Road does seem to meet the immediate and near future needs at the best possible cost and terms. . . .. CITY a~LL COMMITTEE INFO&~TION II PURPOSE OF COMMITTEE The Arden Hills City Council has authorized organization of a Citizens Committee . to study the feasibility of constructing a ney City Hall facility and to make a recommendation on issues which surface in relation to the facility. The study will consist of reviewing exis~ing facilities. identifying future needs of the . community and the potential for a community center facility to serVe those needs, possible site locations, financing alternatives and architectal design concepts, only to name a fey. The t~o main issue~ identified at this time are; what space is needed to improve the ope~ations and working conditions of City government and . are there any ocher community needs that should be addressed in connection with a ney City Hall facility. Council and staff are looking foyard to working with committee members to provide direction, informational resources, and . encouragement. BACKGROUND OF EXISTING FACILITIES . Study of the existing City Hall facility was last undertaken by Council in 1977 at: which time the firm of Wehrman> Chapman Associates, Inc. prepared a Preliminary Report/Site Evaluation on this same matter. The study is on file at . vur offices for Committee review at a future meeting. PUBLIC WOfu~S BUILDING: The existing building is a 66 ft. by 72 ft. and provides .. ~J752 square feet of space: 4,080 sq. ft. for vehicle and equipment storage and 672 sq. ft. for supportive functions (office, lunchroomJ utility rooms). Based on the 1977 study and the level of usage 4t that time, a space deficiency of 1,188 . sq. ft. was identified. determined to be the least deficient in 1977, CI'!:Y HALL: This facility ,was howe,rer, the assessment noted the space for public meetings was' minimal, the . offices of the Park Department were crowded and inconvenient, and storage space was inadequate. At that time che City ".?I)lic.e Department was eliminated, which added some space co satisfy immediate needs. The 1977 study identified a 20% . deficiency in space for the facility. The City Hall contains approximately 2,700 sq. ft. and the 1977 study projected a need for an addtional 550 sq. ft. . The 1977 study estimated the population at 6,250 people and projected an 80% increase in populacion based on antici~ated growth and, using the 807. factor, projected the following estimated futu~e space needs: . 1. Public Works/Parks & Recreation Facility: 7,090 sq. ft. x 1807. = 12,762 sq.ft. 2. City Hall: 3,250 sq. <- x 1807. = 5,850 sq. ft. ". . Council and staff have discussed che major areas of inadequacy and general . de\:erioration of t.~e existing facilities. Last year estimates were received for repair or the exterior s~ructural deterioration and it was determined the funds .. would be spent on a e~ergency repair basis only based on the formation of the Cornmittee to study a new facility. During the tour, scaff will point out inadequacies of the cur~ent facility and exterior de~erioration. Staff will also be prepared to discuss their concerns . regarding departmental needs on a preliminary level. -- III . City Hall Evaluation The present City Hall is quite inadequate, both for staff needs and the public needs. There is not sufficient office space, special and normal work space and meeting space. The Council Chambers are cramped and inefficient. Public access, public rest- room facilities and other related items are poor, and do not meet today's or future needs of the community. Parking space at City Hall is very limited and is not adequate for large attendance at meetings. The building has been added to and is not efficiently laid out to perform the services required. Storage space is almost non- existant. Valuable and required records are stored in the public works garage and other non-fire protected areas. The City Hall building is not presently energy efficient since the insulation factors do not meet today's standards. The appearance of the building, both exterior and interior, does not meet the image of the rest of the City. The present and projected future space needs, determined by the combined Committee and staff are far from the space that presently exists. The space provided was adequate 2S years ago, before expan- sion of the City population and City services, however, it is no longer adequate in today's society. - - .. i - . ~ - ~ r~ '.' "t;." "~...':p. v. public Works Buildinq Th~ present building is not o~ adequate size or design to contain the necessary equipment of the Public Works Department, including the necessary Park Equipment. It is also not provided with adequate and safe storage or necessary shop areas for equip- ment servicing and repair. Items such as proper ventilation, heating, lighting and other employee safety features are tion-existent. Outside storage is not adequate in size, security or code. (Salt storage) Office space, lunchroom areas and other normal amenities are almost non-existent. Facilities for mixed crews, male and female, are not provided. The space provided does not allow good and convenient storage of present equipment and will be even worse in years to corne. I ! Access to the public Works facility is only available via a buSY divided highway and can cause problems for the slower moving equipment when it is necessary to enter or leave the highway access. Again, the present and projected future space needs, determined by the staff and full committee, are not presentlY met. The condition of the building could cause employee safety problems. v. possible Solutions Costs New City Hall facilities are estimated to cost in the range of $80-100 per square foot for totally new facilities. Retrofit of the existing building is estimated at $40-60 per square foot of the existing building plus the added cost of adding onto the existing building to provide the total facilities needed. New Public Works facilities are estimated at $60-80 per square foot. Again the cost of retrofit would be $40-60 per square foot plus the new costs for added facilities. Expansion and retrofit of both buildings, on the present site, would cause serious crowding of the site and cause future problems. Estimated square foot costs shown herein are based on today's cost and must be revised to relate to the anticipated construction time. possible Solutions Several alternatives were discussed by the Sub-Committee that should be considere<l by the City. These are as follows: A. Retrofit and expand both buildings on the present site B. Build totally new facilities on alternate sites C. Build new City Hall on more accessible site and enlarge Public Works on the present site by retrofitting and joining the two buildings to make only a public works facility. All of these alternatives are beyond the scope of study by this Sub-Committee. It is, therefore, recommended that qualified architects and engineers be interviewed and a competent team be selected and retained to do an in-depth study of all questions and to make final recommendations to the City based on their comprehensive study of the problems at hand. It is further recommended that members of the Study Committee be involved in the selection of the consultants. -- . -- - .. - I . . . " . -- I CITY OF ARDEN HILLS I.

MEM:lRANOOM DATE: September 16, 1994 TO: Dorothy Person, City J\dministrator FRCM: Cindy Severtson, Parks and Recreation Director ~7 SUBJECT: Sealcoating of the bike path fran Highway 96 to County Road F. The City of Shoreview has recently informed me that it is the City of Arden Hills' responsibility to provide warm weather rraintenance on the segments of the Lexington Avenue bike path between County Road F and S.T.H. 96. This is approxirrately one (1) mile. Attached is Resolution No. 83-20 authorizing a joint powers agreement between tbe cities of Arden Hills and Shoreview for tbe rraintenance of certain segments of the Lexington Avenue bike path. The bike path was constructed in 1983 and is in need of sealooating. . I was contacted by Gene Kruckenberg, frcm tbe Shoreview Public Works Department, who told me that Shoreview is planning to seal ooat the bike path fran S.T.H. 96 to County Road G2. He offered to include tbe Arden Hills segment of trail with Shoreview's sealooating bid. The City of Shoreview is planning to sealooat five (5) miles of trails this fall, including their segment of the Lexington Avenue trail. Should the City decide to sealooat the bike path, the cost is estirrated to be $2,000-$2,500 for our one (1) mile segment. In the event that the City of Shoreview is tmable to receive bid prices such as the above, they will probably wait illltil next spring. After talking with Dan Winkel and yourself regarding this issue, I \lRJuld recomnend seal coating the Lexington Avenue trail fran S. T . H. 96 to Coilllty Road F in conjilllction with the City of Shoreview's sealcoating projects. As you suggested, there are sufficient funds in the pavement management sealooating fund 101-43100 #544 to cover this cost. CS:to . ~ SEP-1S-1994 10'31 CITY OF SHORE'.lI8J , /f._01 01 .
