He indicated the City and County have been negotiating a road turnback for the last several years, The City . requested a turnback from the County in order to do additional improvements to the road and sewer. The road is now a City street. Superintendent Winkel noted, once the road is rebuilt, he feels the road would last with the City I properly maintaining it. Consulting Engineer, Mr. Greg Stonehouse, reviewed the proposed improvements. Mr. 1- Stonehouse indicated the description and cost of the project. He noted with the notable traffic . issue in front of the Mounds View High School and Ryder Student Transportation bus terminal, a three lane road is proposed, including a turning lane, He indicated this would provide for a safer traffic flow. . Mr. Stonehouse indicated storm water drainage pipe oversizing was being proposed to help alleviate drainage problems that have occurred in the past. ~ Mr. Stonehouse noted the estimated total cost of the improvement would be $1,226,000. He indicated there are variables as to the financing of the improvement, He stated funding would be I available from the County of approximately $400,000, Mr. Stonehouse indicated through assessments approximately $260,000 could be obtained, the breakdown of which would be for the residents: $32 per front foot; for commercial: $47 per front foot; for tax exempt $67 per front I foot. He continued to note the Minnesota State Aid roadway funds would be available, The Storm Sewer Maintenance fund would have approximately $180,000 available, Also, the City , Water fund would generate approximately $140,000 for the improvement, I Mr. Stonehouse indicated a schedule for the project, beginning with the Public Hearing on I February 27, 1995; with the opening of bids on March 30; the assessment hearing on April 24; beginning construction on June 15; and final construction completion on September 30,1995. Mr. Stonehouse inquired if there were any questions he could answer at this time. . Mr. John Stenglein of 1785 West County Road F, he asked if there were specific MN DOT I specifications for the final wear course of blacktop for this road construction, that were used, Mr. Stonehouse indicated 41A, was used, Mr. Stenglein inquired if he thought that was sufficient for the heavy bus use, Mr. Stonehouse felt comfortable with that construction. I Mr. Stenglein indicated since 80% of the traffic is from the buses, that they should be assessed for .. a greater portion of the improvements. I I DRAFT I. ARDEN HILLS crxy COUNCIL - FE:BRUARY 27.1995 3 I Mr. Stenglein also inquired if it would be necessary for a petition for a name change of the road I to a more appropriate residential street name, such as Valentine Drive. Mr. Stenglein inquired if copies of the transparencies used, were available. Mr, Sconehouse I indicated copies could be obtained through the City offices, Mr. Ken Schacht of 1683 West County Road F, indicated concern for the trees on his property I and inquired if the construction would be in the current right-of-way, Mr, Stonehouse indicated all construction would be within the current right.of-way, if trees are within the right-of-way, they would be removed for proper grading. I Mr. Schacht also indicated a wish to change the name of the street, perhaps to John Farrell Drive, I Mr. Schacht indicated concern for the traffic, he felt this issue should be addressed and perhaps the speed reduced, I Mr. Schacht inquired if during construction, the residents would be able co reach their properties. Mr. Sconehouse indicated the contraccor would provide a passable road, although inconvenient . at times, this road would be only for residential traffic and not through traffic. Mr. Stonehouse also indicated construction would be done as quickly as possible. I Mr. Walter Bieger of 1689 West County Road F, inquired as co the type of curb for the gutter would be used. Mr. Sconehouse indicated B618 would be used and as driveways were approached a curb cut would occur to match the drive. I Mr. Jerry Garski of 1795 West County Road F, urged the Council to reduce the speed on the road and address the traffic issues, I . Superintendent Winkel, for point of clarification stated, the State would have to do a traffic study and authorize a speed limit change, the City cannot do that. I Mr. Ed Woo of 3988 Glenview Avenue, inquired if his property would be affected by the storm I sewer. Mr. Sconehouse indicated the scorm sewer would be along County Road F and would not affect Mr. Woo's property. I Mr. Woo inquired as co the location ofthe walkway, Mr, Stonehouse pointed out the location on an overhead transparency and indicated the walkway would run on the south side of the road from the school to old Highway 10, within the public right-of-way. . Mr. Woo inquired if the ditch on his property would be affected. .. . D~ I'. ;-7 I ..1..,) ", .. '~"~f....;~r I ARDEN HILl.S CITY C01JN<;IL - FEBRUARY 27, 1995 4 -. Mr. Paul Wallace 1677 West County Road F, wished to clarify for Mr. Woo, in order to establish room for the walkway the City would have to cover the ditch on Mr, Woo's property. . Mr. Stonehouse indicated the street will be cut slightly and the ditch filled, so the drainage can flow onto the street and away from Mr, Woo's property. Mr, Stonehouse indicated he also will clarify any questions Mr, Woo has after the meeting. . Mr. Craig Wilson of 1677 West County Road F, also indicated concern for the traffic and speed I limit and the safety of his children. Mr. Wilson inquired if the three lanes would only be in front of the high school. Mr. Stonehouse I indicated that was correct, Mr, Wilson was concerned with a flat wide road turning into a raceway, he noted several incidents were accidents occurred, Mr. Wilson inquired regarding the storm sewer, and will it affect the drainage of the properties . on the north side of County Road F. Mr. Stonehouse indicated it would not affect those propertIes. I Mr. Paul Wallace of 1779 West County Road F, indicated deep concern also for the speed and traffic on the road, ~ Mr. Wallace indicated the assessments will be made to 29 homes, that are not generating the majority of the traffic. Mr. Wallace indicated the bus company on the average would generate I 68,000 trips per year and the homes generate 15,000 trips per year. He felt this was a unique situation for the residents and that should be taken into consideration when the assessments are made, . Mr. Wallace inquired as to the water main and if it is rerouted, would his property be affected, . . Mr. Stonehouse indicated all work will be done within the road right of way. Mr. Wallace's property will be affected up to the road right.of-way. Mr. Wallace inquired if during construction would the road be restricted to residents only. Mr. . Stonehouse indicated that would be correct, Mr. Wallace inquired if summer classes, and the traffic generated from this would be rerouted, Mr. Stonehouse indicated that would be possible. . Mr. Wallace indicated concern for a intersection near the hill. Mr. Stenglein inquired what the process for reviewing the speed of the traffic for the street, Mr. . Winkel indicated the City would have to make a request to the State for a traffic study. Mr. Stenglein inquired if the City could start the process for this review. He also inquired as to the . process of changing the street name. -- I I D~ I' fC:'7'" - ;:,~. ,. -'~)' I .;. ,,\-,..,'. J j . ...... ~I :....' MPEN HIIJ,.S CITY COUNCIL - F~BRUAR Y 27. 1995 5 . I J. Dennis Zollinger of 1700 West County Road F, indicated he had spoken with residents who I did not wish for this project to move forward. Mr, Zollinger indicated the County was going to do this project for $400,000 and now the City has taken it and increased the cost to over one million dollars. I Mr, Zollinger indicated he felt it was a commercial street and not a residential one. I Mr. Zollinger inquired as to the time frame of the project. Mr. Stonehouse indicated construction would begin June 15 and be completed by September 30,1995. I Mr. Zollinger inquired as to traffic on the dirt road. Mr. Stonehouse reiterated, traffic could be rerouted, and restricted to residential traffic only. I Mr, Zollinger indicated he felt the project was overzealous and the ratio for assessments is unfair to the residents. I Mr. Paul Tavernier 1651 West County Road F, inquired as to his property and drainage issues. Mr. Stonehouse indicated the improvements will redefine the ditch. .. Mr. Tavernier indicated perhaps to reduce traffic, an entrance to the interstate would be possible. I Mr. James Borg 1812 Janet Court, indicated also concern for the traffic. Mr. Borg inquired as to the assessment for his property, which is on a corner. Mr. Stonehouse indicated there is different formula for his property and was unsure of the amount at this time. I Mr. Borg inquired if driveways and berms would be replaced after construction. Mr. Stonehouse indicated this to be correct, I , Mr. Wallace indicated support for the improvement, and believed the work should be done right the first time, even if it is more expensive. I Mr. Stenglein inquired if the Council could create a focus group for the residents in this area to I determine if the residents want the road as wide as proposed. Mr. Cliff Aamoth of 1748 West County Road F, inquired as to the location ofthe walkway. I Mr. Stonehouse indicated the location, Mr. Aamoth indicated he felt the residents were paying for improvements for a better road for I the buses, which destroyed the road in the first place. Mr. Woo inquired if at the end of County Road F a three lane road could be established. -- I 1- Drof\~ "'Il\\ H~'" T .- t.;~DEN ,HILLS CITY COUNCIL - FEBRUARY 27 1995 6 I Mr. Borg inquired when the road is widened will the landscaping at Ryder Transportation get done. Mr, Fritsinger indicated this will be further defined over the next year, I Acting Mayor Malone closed the public hearing at 8:51 p,m, I Councilmember Hicks inquired as to Valentine Pond, has the pond been evaluated. Mr. Stonehouse indicated this has not been done yet. I Councilmember Hicks inquired as to the proposed drainage, it is not proposed to drain the pond. Mr. Stonehouse indicated no, that was not the intention, but was to help alleviate current I drainage problems in the area. Councilmember Hicks inquired as to the width of the road currently. Mr, Stonehouse indicated I approximately 30 feet and typically a road would be 32 feet, Councilmember Hicks then inquired as to the width a road would need to be for obtaining state aid funds. Mr. Stonehouse indicated 36 feet. I Councilmember Hicks indicated for clarification to the audience, the reason for the widening of .. the road was to meet Minnesota State Aid fund requirements, which is an important funding opportunity. Councilmember Hicks indicated he would like to continue communication with residents, but I perhaps it would have been better sooner. Due to the time restraints, Councilmember Hicks did not want to delay the project. Councilmember Hicks inquired as to the result should the Council I delay action for one month. Mr. Stonehouse indicated that would jeopardize the completion of construction by September 30, 1995. . Councilmember Aplikowski indicated she lives in the circle of homes directly behind the high I school and understands the traffic concerns, She indicated to make the road better the City will have to deal with what is already there, such as the high school and bus terminal. I Councilmember Aplikowski indicated the road does need to be repaired and does not wish to delay the project. She wishes to keep communication open with residents. I Councilmember Keim wish to reiterate the need for the wider road to obtai", Minnesota State Aid funds, I Councilmember Hicks indicated regarding comments made that the County would have done improvements for $400,000, this would have been to regrade and pave, not to fix the storm sewer . or other necessary improvements. Mr, Stonehouse concurred and he did not recommend this procedure, .. I I iT'~ " ,. /", -- ,~~., ,,' -- :;..... j' ~.J '.... 'f-'--'" . ~ 0.:.. W ~. aRDl,;~ r:ui"LS CITY COUNGIL.

UNFINISHED AND NEW BUSINESS I PLANNING CASE 95-2: CHESTNUT LOT SPLIT IV ARIANCE City Administrator Fritsinger briefly reviewed the planning case. He indicated the applicant I originally requested a 75 foot lakeshore setback variance and lot split to develop tWO lots on Lexington A venue. I Mr. F ritsinger indicated the Commission originally tabled this request to confirm the .. approximate location of the building pads, He noted after reviewing revised plans showing the building pads the Commission approved a lot split at 4365 Lexington A venue and a 75 foot OHW lakeshore setback variance for both lot A and B at 4365 Lexington Avenue for primary buildings and including any additions or extensions such as decks or porches. I Mr. Fritsinger indicated the stated condition of a shared driveway should be included in the I motion.

And a shared driveway be established between the two lots, The motion passed unanimously. (4-0), I PLANNING CASE 95-5. OGREN CONCEPT PUD City Administrator indicated this information is for informal discussion. I Mr. Fritsinger indicated the applicant requested a concept review of a PUD for the Northwest I corner of Old Highway 10 and County Road E-2. This concept was for the development of an 18 unit townhome subdivision, Mr. Fritsinger indicated the setbacks proposed meet all requirements and the proposed units I actually preserve more trees and natural beauty than a single family development would, -- I I r::) /':r :.:,=V' .;; '.~ -:"~,.! " ,.. ...... ~.. AE,Dt;N HILLS CITY COUNCIl. - FJ;:BIWARY 27.1995 9 I Mr. Fritsinger indicated that there is no need for a variance for a private street as previously I thought. He noted the cul-de-sac has been redefined as a tear drop shape. Mr. Fritsinger indicated many of the drainage issues have been addressed, but a number are still I being reviewed. The applicant has relocated the detached garage and will use it as a utility garage. Mr. Fritsinger indicated landscaping has been redefined with 70 trees to be planted. I Mr. Fritsinger noted there should be an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan, although this proposal does meet the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. The amendment is for I clarification purposes and is not required for the project to be approved. Mr. Fritsinger indicated receiving letters from neighbors in opposition to the project, most concur . to leave as an open space. I Councilmember Hicks indicated he did not disagree with the project per say, but believes the increase in traffic to County Road E would force him to vote against the development, The closing of the north bound exit on Snelling Avenue by the County, causes traffic issues. ,. Councilmember Aplikowski indicated she is trying to keep an open mind regarding the development and she lives near the area, I Councilmember Keim inquired if there were common areas or just green space, Mr. Dan Ogren, the applicant indicated it would be green space, no playgrounds or such. I Acting Mayor Malone inquired if action was needed. Mr. Fritsinger indicated no, but any comments would be welcome, this would be before the Planning Commission on March 1, 1995. I - PLANNING CASE 95-7. MCGUIRE V ARIANCE I City Administrator Fritsinger indicated the applicant requested variances to the front yard and lakeshore setback requirements, A variance to Section IX, nonconforming uses was also I requested. Mr. Fritsinger noted the unusual circumstances surrounding this request, the applicant's home I had been damaged in a fire and they wish now to demolish and rebuild. The City building' official estimated that the value of the damage did not exceed 50% of the fair market value, but the applicant indicates it will cost the same to repair as compared to rebuild. I Mr, Fritsinger indicated the home was built in 1954 and the garage in 1968. He state a Lakeshore -- Setback Variance was approved as part of Planning Case #80-17 for the construction of a deck. I ,- I " _..,-,.., ~. j "',~ .>~.~ J~ j .1 fJ,~pEN HILLS CITY COUN~IL - F];:BRUARY 27,1995 10 I Mr. Fritsinger indicated the applicant is proposing to rebuild the home on the same footprint, with the exceptions of two small additions, but they will not encroach further into the existing I setbacks of the home, He added, by building on the same footprint it allows the construction to begin immediately and also eliminates additional encroachments into the setback, Mr. Fritsinger pointed out that if the lot was vacant and current setback requirements enforced I there would not be a "buildable" lot available o,n the site. Mr. Fritsinger stated much of this neighborhood was developed prior to present zoning standards, I so most homes do not conform to present standards in one manner or another. It is highly I unlikely that the City plans on redeveloping these lakeshore areas with the intention of making all homes conform to the lakeshore setback regulations, Mr. Fritsinger indicated after an in depth discussion, the Planning Commission approved several I motions. 1. Approval of the variances requested. The location of the salvaged deck and I previous house footprint, along with the proposed new additions will establish .. setbacks at 1516 Arden Place, Any proposed future expansions beyond the limits described previously will require additional variances, 2. The rationale for allowing these variances was: I a) It has been an established history of single family dwelling use on the land. b) Circumstances beyond the control of the resident displaced them from their home. I c) It is reasonable to assume the City would allow this lot to be used for residential purposes. I , d) It is unlikely the City intends to require the development of the homes in the area to conform to the lakeshore setback regulation. e) The development of the lot conforms to the generally accepted standard of I development abutting the lake. t) The intent of the nonconforming use Section IX, J of the zoning ordinance was written to address Issues regarding commercial property or I nonconforming use, not residential homeowners. M~. Fritsinger indicated the Planning Commission requested City Attorney Filla to review, the I need for a variance to the nonconforming use section of the ordinance and his conclusion was that a variance was still required, MOTION: Hicks moved and Aplikowski seconded a motion to approve Planning Case 95-7, I McGuire Variance, The motion carried unanimously (4-0). -.

I Mr. Winkel stated after examining the available Sanitary Sewer connections, staff has developed an alternate to the Melchert/Block proposal. He noted Alternate B, as described in the February I 6, 1995 letter from City Engineer Greg Stonehouse is the staff recommended connection method. I Mr. Winkel indicated the estimated cost for installing the staff recommended connection should be very close to the Melchert/Block proposed plans expenditure. I Mr, Winkel stated as noted in Mr. Stonehouse's letter Alternate B will have the least amount of restoration needed on Hamline Avenue, with the water connection work taking place off the I main roadway. The staff recommended water main connection should be a 12-inch size pipe jacked under County Highway 96 to maximize water available. -- Mr. Winkel noted staff has met with Mr. Bill Block from Melchert/ Block to discuss the alternate B plans. Mr, Block has agreed the Alternate B is feasible and is preparing plans and specifications for this proposal. I Mr. Winkel indicated if Council agrees, he would like Council to direct staff to negotiate a connection agreement between the National Guard Reserve and Arden Hills. I Mr. Bill Block of Melchert/Block Associates, indicated he had wanted to be assured that connection could be made before expenditures had been made, I , Acting Mayor Malone inquired if the costs have been estimated yet, Mr, Block indicated the cost is still unsure, because of moving the lift station and other extra costs, I Mr. Stonehouse indicated there would not be a need for much oversizing. I Councilmember Hicks inquired as to the size of the piping, Mr, Stonehouse indicated it was their opinion a 12-inch would be appropriate. I Councilmember Hicks inquired if this is proposed for current needs and if development occurs, changing later. Mr. Stonehouse indicated the change would be to increase lift stations. . Mr. Fritsinger also indicated in reviewing the area south of Sunfish Lake and small area north of .- the National Guard, there may not be a need for any changes for oversizing. I I .- J. AWEN: HILLS CITY COUNCIL. FEBRUARY 27.1995 12 ..- - Councilmember Aplikowski inquired if there could be just slight oversizing to accommodate future development. Mr. Stonehouse indicated a four inch pipe will serve 20 acres and a six inch I pipe would serve 80 acres. Mr. Stonehouse indicated considering limited development the four inch would be adequate. I MOTION: Hicks moved and Aplikowski seconded a motion to direct staff to negotiate a connection agreement between the National Guard Reserve and Arden Hills. The I motion carried unanimously (4-0), SCOPE OF WORK ON SANITARY SEWER STUDY I Superintendent Winkel indicated as part of the 1995 budget, $6,500 was allocated for the I preparation of a Sanitary Sewer Master Plan. Mr. Winkel indicated City Engineer, Terry Maurer estimated the project cost to be $15,000, I which far exceeds the 1995 budgeted amount, but staff feels that these costs can be reduced with the Public Works crew performing some of the work outlined in the proposal, -- Mr, Winkel indicated the purchases and expenditures out of the 1995 sanitary sewer budget will also be monitored very closely. If it is determined at the mid-point of the year that the sewer budget cannot absorb the cost of the study, some budgeted items will not be purchased in 1995, I Mr. Winkel indicated staff recommends that M.S.A. Engineering be authorized to prepare a I Sanitary Sewer Master Plan for the Arden Hills Sanitary Sewer system, Councilmember Hicks inquired as to the benefits the City will receive. Mr. Winkel indicated I ' issues regarding lift stations, current flow rates, Lake Johanna and those type of issues will be reviewed by the engineering staff of M,S,A, MOTION: Hicks moved and Aplikowski seconded a motion to authorize M,S,A. Engineering I to prepare a Sanitary Sewer Master Plan with expenditures not to exceed $15,000. The motion carried unanimously (4-0). I APPROVf. TCAAP REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL City Administrator Fritsinger indicated a revised draft Request for Proposal (RFP) prepared for I the Arsenal project is before the Council. He noted he tried to redefine this document and provide specific detail in the area of the scope of services. - Mr, Fritsinger indicated this scope of services more accurately reflects the project the City is -. looking for the consultant to complete. I I ~- ARDEN Hl+.LS CITY COUN<;:;IL - FEBRUARY 27. 1995 13 I Mr. Fritsinger indicated staff would recommend the City Council approve the Request for Proposal for the preparation of a master plan for the Twin City Army Ammunition Plant and I direct staff to provide this proposal to the firms identified as candidates for this project as part of the qualification process, I Councilmember Aplikowski inquired if the Task Force had reviewed this proposaL Mr. Fritsinger indicated the Task Force developed by the Mayor has not yet met, Councilmember Aplikowski clarified, the Task Force she was ref~rring to was the one consisting of Commission I members, Mr. Fritsinger indicated they had reviewed, with no changes, MOTION: Hicks moved and Keim seconded a motion to approve the Request for Proposal I for the preparation of a master plan for the Twin City Army Ammunition Plant and direct staff to provide this proposal to the firms identified as candidates for this project as part of the qualification process. The motion carried unanimously (4-0). I ADOPT RESOLUTION #95-18. INTERIM STRATEGY TO REDUCE NONPOINT POLLUTION I City Administrator Fritsinger indicated in early 1993 the Metropolitan Council required local ~ governments to adopt an "Interim Strategy to Reduce Nonpoint Pollution". This resolution was supposedly to have been done in 1993, but was not completed. I Mr. Fritsinger reviewed the requirements of each local government unit. He stated most requirements are being met, but have not been identified. Mr, Fritsinger indicated formal action is needed. I Acting Mayor Malone indicated he remembered doing this before, Mr. Winkel also remembered, but there is no formal record. I . Councilmember Aplikowski indicated concern for Metropolitan Council information that says new, she fears more changes are to come. Mr. Fritsinger indicated this action should just be a I formalization to what activities the City is currently doing. MOTION: Hicks moved and Aplikowski seconded a motion to approve Resolution #95-18. I The motion carried unanimously (4-0), I ADMINISTRATOR COMMENTS City Administrator Fritsinger indicated a few items for the CounciL I Mr. Fritsinger indicated Dan Winkel has accepted a position as Fire Chief for the City of .- Andover and tendered his resignation to be effective March 10, 1995, Mr. Fritsinger indicated he is scheduling interviews for the positions of Administrative Secretary and Community Development Director.

CITY OF ARDEN HILLS MEMORANDUM I DATE: March 9, 1995 I TO: Brian Fritsinger, City Administrator I FROM: Cindy S. Walsh, Parks and Recreation Director ~sW SUBJECT: Request to Prepare Plans & Specifications for the Perry Park I Redevelopment I Status of Perry Park Fundin~ Sources Contributions towards the redevelopment of Perry Park are being sought from a variety of sources. Commitments to contribute have been made by the following: I MN Outdoor Recreation Grant $ 50,000 Light Brigade $ 35,000 I St. Mary's Romanian Orthodox Church $ 10,000 North Suburban Youth Association $ 5,000 II Little Lakes Little League $ 2.000 Total $102,000 The installation of storm sewers and proper catch basins is anticipated to cost between $20,000- I $25,000. This portion of funds could come from the Storm Water Management Fund. I If the Park Fund were to contribute up to $200,000 the remainder of the balance of approximately $100,000 still needs to obtained. Project estimates are between $400,000- $450,000. I . I am waiting to hear from the following companies and organizations, which I have contacted and filled out grant applications. I Arden Hills Shoreview Lions Club Target I New Brighton Chamber of Commerce Kiwanis Club Land 0' Lakes I HB Fuller Burlington Northern Foundation I I will keep you informed as I hear from these organizations. {" I " I The local Rotary Club has expressed interest in funding and planting trees and shrubs after the .- project has been completed. The grant money from the State DNR can be used within a three (3) year time period. If I accepted, the money must be used by December of 1997. The criteria for using the money - include the completion of regrading the site and the installation of playground equipment, which would be located near the park entrance. Preparation of Plans & Specifications I Plans and specifications for this project have not yet been prepared. I would like to request that this be authorized to be completed. Following the plans and specifications. RFPs would be sent I out. As you discussed with Mayor Probst, sending out RFP's would give us a much better idea of the project costs. The project would be completed only if appropriate funding has been obtained to match the project costs. I Possible Project Phases The project could be completed in phases. Phase 1 would be the most extensive and costly, since I it would involve a complete regrading of the area, seeding/sodding, installation offences, and other items necessary to make the fields playable. Hopefully, this could be started in August and completed in the spring of the following year. Phases II & III could include the addition of lights I on the two south fields and the installation of playground equipment. The lights and play equipment (Phases 11 & III) would take approximately $90,000-$100,000 off the initial cost of .. the project (Phase I). The regrading of the site would put us into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act since the area would be level. The ball fields would be arranged in a pinwheel type formation so that the safety hazard of overlapping outfields would be I eliminated. Recommendation I After discussing the situation with you, we seem to agree with Mayor Probst that plans and specifications are needed before RFP's are sent out. I am recommending that this be done. Resolution 95-22 should be passed to support this. These specifications would be discussed I . with the Mayor and City Council before RFP's are sent out. CSW\jt I I I I .. - I ~ , I.

" I PASSED AND ADOPTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARDEN HILLS THIS 13TH DAY OF MARCH, 1995. I DENNIS PROBST, MAYOR I . ATTEST: I BRIAN FRITSINGER, CITY ADMINISTRATOR I I I ,. I I ) " ~. CITY OF ARDEN HILLS MEMORANDUM I DATE: March 10, 1995 I TO: Brian Fritsinger, City Administrator I FROM: Cindy S. Walsh, Parks and Recreation Director tS ~ SUBJECT: Parking Easement at Cuinmings Park I Background I At the time Cummings Park was developed, a parking lot for park users was not constructed. A lease agreement for parking space was drafted and signed with Control Data Corporation. This lease provided the City of Arden Hills with a parking lot for park users. The lease agreement I was set up with the option of extending the term of this lease agreement for two successive periods of one year each. This lease was apparently extended for the two years. However, the lease agreement expired in 1985. I Short and Long Term Parkinl,1 Options II During the meeting with lames Belland and Walt Seiler from Control Data Systems, Inc. and yourself on Friday, March 3, 1995, it is apparent that both a short term agreement and long term solutions are necessary for parking at Cummings Park. Control Data Systems, Inc. seems very I willing to work with the City to accommodate our needs. From our meeting on March 3, we agreed that the best short-term solution is to sign a temporary lease extension agreement for the use of their north parking lot. (Labeled Lot #1 on the Subdivision Plan enclosure). I have I enclosed a copy of the lease extension agreement which would provide the City with parking through December 31,1995_ I . After the lease agreement expires in December, Mr. Belland and Mr. Seiler suggested that Control Data may be interested in deeding the area they own at the northwest corner of their property to the City. Arden Hills could then construct our own parking lot. This area is labeled I Lot #2 on the Subdivision Plan enclosure. Recommendations I I recommend that the lease extension agreement prepared by Control Data Systems, Inc. be signed as a temporary solution to the City's parking needs. I In order to solve the long term need for the users of Cummings Park to have parking, I recommend that you and I meet with Mr. Bellandi and Mr_ Seiler to consider their offer to I possibility deed property to the City. As we discussed on March 3, some allowances may need to be made for the amount of green space Control Data is required to have. The deeding of this I- property to the City would mean that this area would have to be cleared; thus, causing Control Data to lose some of their required green space_ As we also discussed, this area is close to the I . ( I residents on the west side of the park. We would want to leave as much of a natural barrier as .1 possible to separate the parking lot area with this neighborhood_ We need to further discuss either extending the road to east of the water tower north, or using the I existing road to access this parking lot. I As you are aware, Control Data is in the process of selling a portion of their property and did not want the City's parking easement to interfere with the sale. Control Data Systems, Inc. also I indicated that the lease could be extended another year if necessary.

Walsh, Parks and Recreation Director e5~ I SUBJECT: Sheehy Land Donation ' Background information on Sheehy's donation I The City of Arden Hills was contacted by Mr. James C. Shacker and Mr. C.E. Sheehy in December of 1993 _ They expressed an interest in donating their 8.57 acres to the City. The property consists of primarily Type III and Type IV wetland. A tennis court was constructed on I the SW Comer of the property in 1974/1975_ As I mentioned in a previous memo, this tennis court should be removed since the soil conditions present do not provide a stable base. Mr. Sheehy has confirmed that the tennis court is in poor shape. The estimated in-kind labor cost to I the City for demolishing the tennis court is between $ I 500-$2000. III The City Council concurred at the January 20, 1994 worksession that the City should draft an agreement with Mr. Sheehy to transfer the title of the property. I Recommended Use of this Property The City of Arden Hills has taken title to the property_ Attorney Filla is working on obtaining the paper title. I In our discussions regarding the use of this property, we agree that development of the area is limited due to the wetland delineation. The Parks & Recreation Committee has talked about the I possibility of putting a floating walkway/trail around the property at some point in the future. I . recommend that the area be maintained as City property until a specific use is identified. In light of the recent conflict over the County Road E & Old Snelling development, I am cautious in I recommending that the site be designated as open space. I I will continue to work with you in an attempt to explore possible uses of the property. I am recommending that the tennis court area be demolished this Spring to prevent injuries that may occur because of the condition of the courts.

I :- CITY OF ARDEN HILLS RAMSEY COUNTY RESOLUTION NO. 95-19 I RESOLUTION SUPPORTING PASSAGE OF THE "MINNESOTA EMERGING COMMUNICATIONS SERVICES ACT OF 1995" I WHEREAS, the City of Arden Hills is responsible for monitoring the operation and activities I of cable communications in the City; and WHEREAS, the City provides coordination of administration and enforcement of the cable I franchise; promotes the development oflocally produced cable television programming; and conducts such other activities to ensure equitable and reasonable rates and service levels for the citizens of City; and I WHEREAS, it is the intent of the cable franchise to ensure the development and continued operation of cable communications system so that the City may achieve better I utilization and improvement of public services and contribute significantly to the communication needs of its residents; and II WHEREAS, in pursuit of these goals the City has granted to private interests the use of Public Property and Public Right-of-Way.

I Dear Council members: ' I Understanding the property in question is zoned R-1, and that a affirmative five to one vote was taken by the Planning Commission following a thorough public hearing, I urge you to approve the PUD request. I In the case above it is ridiculous to procrastinate. Delays on such an open and shut case do nothing but cause emotions to cloud issues and create long range ill will. The I residents "on the hill" do not have any claim on the property below them_ II As a thirty-five year resident of Arden Hills and former planning commission and board of appeals member I recall well some similar actions_ We didn't like it when people built homes on "our baseball field" either. But rules were rules and we continue to live by them_ I While my next point is probably not germane to your action, I would like to point out my objection to the unethical practice that opponents to this action have taken .- that of I flooding the Valentine Hills school with leaflets opposing the development. (My grandchildren came home with three leaflets handed out by other students_) Using children and the public school for this type of agenda is most inciting and unfair. I '1 would suggest further that if in fact this land is zoned R-1, a denial of this request I could result in legal action against the city_ In fact, I would encourage it as otherwise it would be a mockery of our overall planning and zoning ordinances.

I do appreciate your willingness to listen and to answer questions. I had called you Thursday morning because I wanted to clarify, from my perspective, what happened at the public hearing Wednesday night. I Further, I wanted to ask what could be done so these processes might go more smoothly in the future. Thank you for returning my call. II From the wording of the hearing notices we received on or about February 16, many of us believed that the issues to be discussed concerned Ifan application for a site plan review" and "an application to amend the land use plan of the city." Had the notices stated more clearly that the I land ltlas already "apparently owned (purchased) by the develoDer" instead of 3ethel College, we might have inferred that the issue was single and narrow in scope (concerning only details of the PUD) and that the larger question of the land use plan was moot because of the zoning and signed I purchase agreement. (One commissioner attempted, perhaps, to allude to the truth of the si~uation by noting, in the middle of the hearing, that the city could not completely dictate what owners might to do with their I land. ) By the end of the hearing, the citizens in attendance were clearly experiencing frustration on many counts. They had arrived with a concern I about possibly losing a piece of land that most thought was part of the county open space. To many peoples' understanding, this issue was the purpose of the hearing. Frustration mounted as we realized that the development plan had already gone beyond its preliminary phase and that I only a few details were at issue. Thus we came to understand that the purpose of the meeting 1,.;a3 not to discuss the Dossible loss of the land to development but rather to revie'w some limited options for its apparently I inevitable de~Ielopment . The developer's belated statements that he held a signed purchase agreement and would "hold Bethel College to it" simply put most people over the edge, so to speak. I These "misunderstandings"--that seemed to some people to be more accurately !'misrepresentations"--caused several to say they had come to a , hearing held under false pretenses. The crucial and underlying issue of open versus developed space in the city's plan was not even available for discussion, and the determining fact of the signed purchase agreement had been 1,.;i thheld from us until the end. Essentially, it seemed that this was I -- I M~ 32:-i~::. t:"y~+-~~nrT""'Y' --- . ----.--...'::1-.... ~?!:'ch -, ""\(10; ..: -, - - - 0;::.,...,."", 2 ~ "":) ~ "typical go-o:.o"e:-:;1ment, " .......,,<:"'h~......,... through decisions while seeming to invite t-'..........".........~ community pa!:'ticipation but i~ fact never intending to allow the cOTmunity I any more than minimal and superficial input.

I At this stage, Hhat is the most constructive tack for concerned citizens to take? Is there anyone with authority that we can contact I (city council members, Bethel College, no one)? By now 1..;e are all painfully aware that the preservation of open space is a major concern to many people with varying perspectives on the issue, and it is likely that other plan.s to develop the shrinking remainder of open space will also be I contested. As citizens, we need some basic understanding of the city's positions and processes so that He can make informed decisions on e"lIerything from land use to tax levies to elect.:ons. The confusion that \I both caused and developed from Wednesday night's hearing does not leave me feeling very hopeful. I came 31..4ay appreciating my neighbors more and city government less. Please prove me wrong on the last point. I know that we are all Jl.ore C',r less bound by our laws and regulations, but please let us I work to ~aximize ~utual understanding and respect when we face these situatior:s ',,.;here general satisfaction is so difficult to achieve. .~~nr"""r,,,,"l'.!

Ozment, Rest, Abrams and I Winter. It would place further restrictions on the use of tax increment in eitie~ throughout thc state. Although the bill contains several provision~ that will affect futurc projects, the bill would also place restrictions on existing districts and require the decenification of all dislrict~ as SOOn I as existing commitments arc fulfilled. II The bill would require a more stringent "but for" test, require school approval for housing districts, limit thc pooling of revenues and require decertification of existing districts as soon as financial obligations and projects lI1'C completed. I The League summarized the provisions in I1F. J 47 in the February 3 edition of the Cities Blll1ctin. Although Rep. Ozment will offer a "delete-all" replacement for thc bill, the general restrictions will not change. A summary of the "delete-all" is included. I Call YOl1r legislator and let them know how these changes will impact your city. If you have specitic projects that will be affected by the provisions, highlight these impacL~. I .

'" -- Tax Incrcment Focus of Reforms -- Narrative ofH.F. 147 (delete everything amendment) The bill would significantly restrict the permissible uses oftax increment financing as wcll as I add other oncrous reporting and approval requirements. The m~or provision of the bill would strictly limit the use of tax illcrcmcnt revenues in districls I certified before May I, 1990. Underthc bill, tax increment revenues would only be permitted to fulfill eommitmcnts currently in place, pay reason,ble administrative expenses or to make I payments to school districts_ For cxample, tax increment revenues could only be used to pay outstanding bonds that are secured by tax increment revenues and that were issued bcfore February I, 1995 or to satisfy formal commitments, arguments, or contracL. entered into by I February 1, 1995. In addition, the bill would require the authority 10 decertify the district when all outstanding I bonds have been paid or defeased and all contractual obligations have been satisfied or arc otherwise covered by escrowed funds. The bill tightens up the "but for" test by requiring a fmding that the use ofTIF will discourage I businesses from moving to al)other state (the intent is to limit city vs. city development contests). Soil districts would be limited to polluted lands (topography and terrain alone would no longcr " be satisfactory). The State Auditor would replace the Department of Revenues as the overseer of TIF financed by capturing .1 percent (or about $230,000 from all increments statewide. Counly attorneys could sue to enforce the TII' law. In another provision of the bill, school district approval would he required for any tax incrcment I district that is cither initially planned for housing or may eventually be used for housing. Even though the current school revenue fOffilula would provide for additional operating revenues for I any new students located in a tax incremcnt district, the concern apparcntly surrounds thc capital needs of school districts Ihat may bc stressed by additional studcnts. . The bill would expand the annual tax incrcment reporting requirements to include a description I of the activities that have occurred within the dismct during the previous year as well as I additional information on the use of the tax increment revenucs, including a narrativc of activitics Or improvements outside the distriel. Probably the most diflicult provision would be to writc this narrative in "plain and simple languagc' that would be easily understandable to a I person not familiar with Illx increment financing.

As indicated in my facsimile dated March 16, 1995, the City Engineer has surveyed the tJENQNEERINC, topography of the site and observed the site to determine the possible cause of Mr. Aiken's I RONMENTAl concern. MUNICIPAL PI.ANNING Based upon our records for the lot split, a drainage swale was to be constructed under the I SOUDWASiE agreement with the Developer (Mr. Tom Wegleitner). Severa1letters were sent to both the STRUcruRAL City and the Developer regarding the issue. These letters were dated December 4, 8, and SURVEYING I TRAFFIC 29, 1989. Based upon the resulting grading plan submitted by the Developer, a drainage TRANSPORTATION swale was to be constructed from the pond to culverts north and east of the developing lots, (see attached). The bottom of this swale should have provided an outlet for the pond at an I elevation of 875.2 feet above mean sea level. Our survey of the site indicates that the tlECiR1CAl!MECHANICAl swale drains west into the pond rather than east from the pond. The pond would have to ENGINEERING HVAC reach an elevation of approximately 977 feet in order to actually begin to drain. I flOWER DISTRIBUTION SCADA Based upon our review of the situation, it appears that the City should rectify the problem SYSTEM CONTROlS by having the drainage easement graded along the back lot lines of parcels A and B adjacent I to Amble Road. This should be done in accordance with the Developer's original grading plan, if possible, at the Developer's expense. We should note that it may be difficult for I the City to force the Developer to correct this issue at this point. We would alSQ recommend the City allow Mr. Aiken to place up to 40 cubic yards of fill behind the existing pond easement, up to the 976 elevation. This would allow the pond to drain to the I east prior the pond encroaching the Aiken property. It may be beneficial for the City to utilize its own Public Works staff to complete the placement of fill on Mr. Aiken's property leICESIN: to reduce the costs of such work.

CITY OF ARDEN HILLS MEMORANDUM I I DATE: March 24,1995 TO: Brian Fritsinger, City Administrator I FROM:@D Terrance Post, City Administrator I SUBJECT: CommerciallIndustria1 Valuation Update I Since becoming aware of the significant level of valuation petitioning activity by Arden Hills commercial and industrial (C & I) property owners in 1994, I have attempted to inform the City I Council and City Staff of key valuation adjustments on a regular basis. Overview I It appears that the negative impact of successful C & I petitions on the city's tax base peaked in payable 1994 and the rate of base erosion has slowed for payable 1995. .. Significant Revaluations As documented in the attached schedule, the Ramsey County Assessors office has given I significant (15% or more) valuations reductions to the following properties: Property Descrintion Reduction Amt. Reduction PCT I L Control Data $4,822,721 (25.6%) 2. Catholic Aid $1,059,600 (43.1 %) 3. A TS Steel $232,200 (19.0%) I 4. Ramada Hotel $460,000 (16.4%) 5. Scherer Bros. Lumber $254,900 (14.7%) I Other Comments There remains a backlog of petitions that have not been settled. A 1995 issue will be to determine ifthe assumed delinquency percentage used in the 1995 budget five percent (5%) is adequate to I accommodate both delinquencies and tax abatement/accrued interest payments_ I I I.

This roadway will now be known as County Road G. This is the first of a series of road turn-backs that will occur under the consolidation of roadways, which was agreed to I during 1994. "This is one of the big successes of our legisl~tive work." said Ramsey County I- Commissioner Dick Wedell, chair of the Parks and Public Works Committee. This action was the result of a local government services study, which brought forward suggestions I for consolidations among jurisdictions. "The system is working," said Wedell, "County to City transfers are moving ahead as well, and the results will benefit our communities." I As part of the state system, improvements to Trunk Highway 96 received a low priority. As a major thoroughfare in the County system, the roadway is a priority, and future improvements are eligible for County State Aid Highway (CSAH) turn-back funds. I Improvements to the new County Road G, from White Bear Parkway to Trunk Highway 61 will begin this summer. Plans include: reconstruction to accommodate I turnlanes, resurfacing, improved lighting and utility improvements. Reconstruction of County Road G will affect the communties of White Bear I Township and White Bear Lake. One lane in each direction will remain open during reconstruction to accommodate traffic. I A task force made up of representatives from the communities bordering County Road G will develop a concept report to guide future improvements on County Road G west of White Bear Parkway. I END END END END I- I I . I . CITY OF ARDEN fiLLS . MEMORANDUM I I DATE: March 24, 1995 TO: Brian Fritsinger, City Administrator I FRO~ Terrance Post, City Accountant I SUBJECT: 1994 Preliminary Operating Results/Commentary I The City's external auditors, Abdo Abdo & Eick (AA& E) are scheduled to commence their fieldwork in early April and issue a final audit report for the year ended December 31, 1994, by early May. I Prior to this activity, I have prepared internal unaudited fmancial results statements for this same I period. They, along with "Analysis of EstimatelBudget Deviation" schedules by fund, are enclosed for your review. I- My overview comments concern five topics: 1. Delinquency Assumption The five percent delinquency assumption used in the 1994 budget appears to have been I prudent in that estimated results indicate only a thin _1 % ($900) favorable variance. This contrasts with 1993 results of a 9_6% ($132,784) unfavorable variance. I 2. General Fund Balance I am estimating that 1994 General Fund operating results will increase the fund balance $255,800 to $569,561. This equity increase largely results from estimated 1994 revenues I exceeding budget by 3 _1 % ($62,838) and estimated 1994 revenues under running budget by 7.7% ($155,553). I This contrasts with 1993 results of a $66,674 equity reduction largely resulting from a net revenue/expenditure unfavorable variance against budget of $75,023. I , General Fund Caoital Budl!:et UndersDending- ~- Almost $70K of the $156K favorable General Fund expenditures variance is attributable I to underspending in the Street Maintenance department. Specifically, seal coat and overlay projects were not undertaken, a large planned miscellaneous project did not materialize, and a vehicle replacement was postponed. I I- I I I . 4. Water and SanitarY Sewer Utility Fund Performance . The dramatic pricing actions in these two utilities in 1992 and 1993 have resulted in these enterprises currently operating in a net income position. Retained Earnings and cash I balances for these two funds have improved from 1991 - est. 1994 as follows: I EYn.d 1991 1m 1993 Est. 1994 I Water (R.E.) $240,012 $266,779 $373,995 $532,571 Sewer (R.E.) $554,337 $492,195 $595,876 $659,836 I Water (Cash) $145,620 $142,889 $179.749 $427,300 Sewer (Cash) $307,721 $313,163 $271,521 $403,062 I 5. General Fund Compensated Absences Accrual I One of the spending items discussed during budget worksessions for the last two years, has been the funding of compensated absences (i.e., earned but unpaid vacation and severance/sick leave pay). The liability amount discussed in past years has been I approximately $18,000. Analysis of city work force seniority and leave days as of 12/31/94 has resulted in a I- compensated absences liability (excluding former PW Superintendent Winkel who is fully accrued) of $21 ,652. Because of the favorable results in the General Fund, I have accrued 75% of the remaining (non. Winkel) compensated absences liability as a 1994 I period cost of $17,877.

I We are willing to participate in the costs associated with the professional services being secured through an RFP in an amount not to exceed $20,000, I. We believe this is an appropriate use of administrative funds since the activity to be undertaken is cd tical to the economic development needs of suburban Ramsey County. Furthermore, this site is in need of redevelopment due to the decision by the U. S. Army to declare this land as excess. This I is a tremendous opportuni ty for several units of local government to cooperate and ensure that the redevelopment of this property will be a benefit to our entire East Metro Region. I Please advise when you have received a response to the RFP sO that we can discuss how the selection process will take place, who will be responsible I for entering into the agreement with the professional service provider, and who will supervise the work to be undertaken by the provider. The Ramsey County HRA is pleased to be a partner with our suburban I communities in this very important planning endeavor. Sincerely, I qL-L::C-'-'1 Q~~~().---~_ I Judy A.

First of all, I talked witb Gary Whelpley wbo I- works with the Minnesota Community Development Agency and has some experience in developing city land projects. He referred me to William Craig at the University of Minnesota, phone number 625-1551. Mr. Craig is the Director of tbe Center for Urban and Regional Affairs. Mr. Craig referred me to Fred Smith, who works for this Center. He is cum:ntly involved in a project which includes the arsenal property in whicb they are providing assistance to Jobs for I Peace. The contact person at Jobs for Peace is Janet Groat, the Director, phone number 871. I 027. Mr. Smith said that they have two graduate research assistants working witb Jobs for Peace to I develop information about tbe site so that this group is informed about any suggestions made regarding the site. There is also a faculty advisory committee from several colleges that is serving as a research advisory panel and resource for the graduate students. Apparently $26,000 was allocated to pay the graduate students to do this project. I Mr. Smith also referred me to Barbara Lukerman of the Humphrey Institute and also involved in this project. Her phone number is 625-4310. Mr. Smith talked briefly about some site closing I legislation that may make money available for utilization purposes when the arsenal ptoperty is turned over local control. That is one of the issues they are looking into. He also referred me to the League of Minnesota Cities and suggested I talk to someone there for assistance. I Mr. Smith seemed interested in what Arden Hills is trying to do, noted that the University of Minnesota has already accepted this project and said tbey are willing to talk with us about providing further assistance to the [mance committee involving developing financial ptojections or whatever it is we think we would like a graduate student do to help the city. He suggested lhal we I set up a lunch meeting in the future to discuss this funher.

Arden Hills Mayor and City Council I.,' 1450 Highway 96 Arden Hills, MN 55112 Enclosed is a letter I have written to Gregory Stonehouse, your project engineer. To keep from repeating myself, I sincerely hope that you will read the letter. I am so disappointed with the proposal for the storm sewer. One of the major frustrations is that I found out about all this tonight at 6:30 PM. I think it would have been advisable to let me know before you sent backhoes onto my property. How can you in the city be so callous to property owners? Another frustration is that you are having the public hearing on April 1 0 when I am out of the country. My anger says you planned it that way. I would like to go on public record that I oppose the ideas of destroying my driveway to put in a permanent easement. My reasons are: 1_ The storm sewer does not in any way benefit my property and it will be impossible to . maintain because I will not allow large service trucks to drive on my driveway or garden. 2. The lake will suffer from the increase salt, sand and waste' water that will run into the lake. 3_ I was not informed even though you were planning on tearing up my private property. That is almost more than I can deal with tonight. Unfortunately I \>ill not be at the public hearing, good timing on your part, and I stand oppose to the project. If you insist I this folly do you compensate my father for the loss of property, the destruction of the driveway (which I know I will be repairing for years), damage to the lawn, retaining wall, garden. He will lose about 250 strawberry plants which produce about 100 pounds of berries. Will be pay him for that? This is truly beyond a crazy idea. I have no faith that the engineering finn, workers or you will honor any promises you make and I will be responsible for all the damage and future damages that will occur. All the years on the City Council taught me that engineers never do what they say nor do they repair any damage unless citizens threaten a law suit. I am immensely disappointed that I am informed of this project 4 days before the information.... The engineer says it is a oversight. How many more oversights \>ill we have to suffer? ......<--t-..()~, Notahappyre~ '1t~ /C.,.. Nancy K. Hansen . 633-1097 I I. I 3368 Lake Johanna Blvd. . Arden Hills, MN 55112 March 29, 1995 I Gregory J. Stonehouse, PE MSA consulting Engineers 1326 Energy Park Drive I St. Paul, MN 55108 I Dear Gregory, Thank you for talking to me last night, I only wish that I had known earlier in the month. I I guess I have thought about 4 alternatives to this storm sewer situation and I would like to share them with you and the ask you a question. I 1. Of course, my first choice is to have no storm sewer. One of the major reasons I feel a storm sewer is undesirable is the increased waste water, salt and cannot be good for the I- lake. Some areas on the lake have formed huge deltas of sand which changes shoreline and water quality. Another reason is that I think it is unnecessary to deal with run off from areas other that my own . 2. Our property is appreciably higher that the property to the south, so it would be the more expensive alternative with elevation changes, retaining walls to replace etc. I 3. Run the water town the boulevard to an existing storm sewer and upgrade that to reduce the sand, salt and trash running directly into the lake. One of the advantages is that I it is closer to the road and would be easier to maintain. A truck cannot drive across my garden because of soft soil and plant materials. I 4. Place thc storm sewer completely on Langer's property. It is where the water goes now, it is the level of the road and it was the original easement. There appears to be a controversy about the easement and I would like to give you some of the the history. That I leads to one of the questions I would like clearly answered at the information meeting. My father states that he has a sUlVey from 55 years ago when the property was purchased and sUlVeyed for the title. It indicated that our property line is where the hedge and retaining I wall are located. You indicated that it may not be that line. My father will find that survey and have it available at the end of this week. I do not understand how you can obtain a permanent easement on private land against owners agreement. There was a easement I between our property and the property to the south many years ago. That easement line, according to the sUlVey, was at the line of the retaining wall. The easement was originally .e the same level as our driveway and was owned by a former neighbor, Hovland who live a few doors up on the west side of the blvd. About 35-40 years ago, Mr. Carl Langer, neighbor on the south, approached my father about purchasing the easement together and dividing it in half. He then proceeded to lower the entire easement to the level of his yard I . I. I and we were left with a narrow driveway with a retaining wall. My question then is, who now owns the easement, was it ever state, county or city property. Was it legally obtained I and why am I now required to yield any land to this project. I guess the other question that pops in my mind is what is the proposed permanent I easement. Will I be allowed to drive on it or will I be required to move my driveway? I want complete assurances that my driveway will be restore to its exact, if not better condition and that all the recurrent problems will be cared for promptly by the city without I any cost to myself. I know that curbs and service cuts sink for years and I will not have that occur on my property. The driveway is currently crushed rock and I wish to have it restored to crushed rock., You will not be allowed to pave the driveway. Paving only I contributes to more problems with run off on the lake. I stand completely opposed to the use of my driveway for an easement and a storm sewer. I I will expect that if I am ignored, that my father will be compensated for the property, the damages and ongoing repair for years to come, any plants or garden that is destroyed. As I mentioned to you on the phone, I learned on the City Council that engineers never do I what is promised and projects are often left poorly done and seldom maintained. I can think of several experiences from my time on the City Council. I have no faith that this I- will be anything but an headache for myself and for the lake itself. As I said, I stand opposed to this project. I also regret that I was not given more notice of I this or the public hearing. To say you forgot or didn't think about it until today.', seems like a big oversight when you plan to destroy my driveway, garden, lake and life. I will not be able to attend the public hearing because I will be out of town. Convenient for you and I an expense for me if I do not go on a prepaid vacation. As I said to you on the telephone, I know that the City Council will do what it plans without consideration of anything or anyone else. I Sincerely, I I Nancy K.

I have been told that your representatives and your City government are supportive of the plans that our collective conservation groups endorse. r certainly hope that I the spirit of the Common Good continues. Thank you for treating this special property as resource I both for your City and for the citizens of the ~rth metro area. On a personal level, my mother was one of those Defense I workers who traveled down from North Branch to make bullets during the war years. She certainly has memories of the interior ~ I of the TCAAP. Charlotte Brooker I President _-----= ~ c. c. Rep.

CITY OF ARDEN HILLS I MEMORANDUM I DATE: March 31,1995 I TO: Mayor & City Council \ ) I FROM: Cindy Walsh, Parks & Recreation Director ~\; RE: Cooperative Trail Grant Program Application I Program Purpose I This grant is funded by the State of Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. The emphasis of this program is to promote access between people and desirable destinations. Its primary purpose is to complete trail connections between where people live and public recreation I facilities (i_e., parks and other trails). A secondary purpose is to link existing trail segments_ .- Trail Segment Which Could Potentiallv Be Funded This grant could fund a portion of the trail which would run from Hwy 96 and City Hall south through the new segment obtained from the John McClung's new development and eventually . end at Briarknoll Drive. This segment will connect with the existing paved walkway which extends from Floral Park to Cummings Park. This eight foot wide bituminous trail segment would provide a crucial link between our existing trails and the proposed Trunk Hwy 96 trail. . (Through collaborated efforts with Ramsey County, we have applied for ISTEA funds for a trail along the south side of Trunk Hwy 96). I There are some areas of this trail segment that will require special consideration. In two locations, a floating bridge/walkway of some sort will be necessary. I Grant Reimbursement and Local Match There will be a 50% "hard match" from the City for eligible elements of the project proposal. The minimum reimbursement amount is $5,000, and the maximum is $50,000. At this time I estimated trail costs are $80,000. The area has been surveyed and preliminary plans have been suggested by Maier Stewart. Maier Stewart has recommended that an additional easement be I obtained from PemTom Townhouse Association if possible. Obtaining this easement would decrease our trail costs since the severity of the grade is less than the cost of our existing easement. I have met with both the North and South associations_ They may be willing to let the I City acquire an additional easement. There are some members who are opposed to this. I plan to walk the area with representatives from both associations in April. The Parks & Recreation I- Committee plans to meet with the area residents regarding this trail in June of 1995. . I I. The proposals are due May I, 1995. All components ofthe project must be completed by October 31,1997. The review and ranking period will be from May 1st to August 1st. I Reimbursement grant awards will be announced in the fall of 1995. Future Council Action Necessary I I think that this trail segment is the next priority in terms of trail development. I would like to apply for potential partial funding. The Committee has recommended in the 1995 budget that I money be spent every two years on trail development. This segment would then be recommended as a priority area for 1996_ I have talked with Mayor Probst about this. He supports applying for these potential trail grant funds. I will prepare a resolution of support for I the April 10, 1995 City Council meeting. I I I Ie I I I I I . I .- I I . I.
