TO: Mayor and City Council Brian Fritsinger, City AdministraW . FROM: SUBJECT: Pay Equity . BACKGROUND . In October of 1994 the City was notified by the Department of Employee Relations (DOER) that its Pay Equity Plan was found in non-compliance. The City Council then met in November and requested an extension until April 30, 1995 to complete any adjustments to . the Plan and submit a new report. Ie At the November 17, 1994 Work Session the Council discussed options for resolving this problem. The Council indicated that staff should proceed with a short term solution with the intention staff would review the strategies set forth in 1991 and incorporate similar strategies . into a new Plan which will allow the City to maintain compliance. The short term solution discussed was expanding the Pay Plan from five (5) steps to six (6) I steps. Attached you will fmd spread sheets prepared by Mr. Post detailing a change to a six step Plan for the years 1993/1994/1995. The increase in steps does itself not appear to be enough of a change to put the City in compliance. In utilizing the computer software . provided by DOER, the City would be found in compliance for each of these years only if it revises its work points. I ACTION The larger question to be considered is developing a Plan which will allow the City to move into the future and be found in compliance. This should be the key topic for discussion. . Questions to be considered are: l. Are the job duties for each position correct? 2. If the duties are correct is the time spent correct? . , Do salary ranges need to be adjusted based on any changes in duties? j. 4. Should the pay equity points be changed? 5. What is the cost to bring the City into compliance? . Once those issues are resolved then the City must consider the most appropriate long term approach to compliance. Staff will have available at the meeting a number of scenerios to .- consider. . I 1777 Uenus Aue. Arden Hills, MH 55112 I. Saturday, March 11, 1995 Dear Mayor and City Counsel, I a~ a student at Highuiew Middle SChoOl and before that I I went to Ualentine Hills Ele~entary School. I totally agree that the corner in question Should not be deueloped on. Eueryday fron first grade, when I walked with ~y ~n, to I fifth grade, when I was able to walk alone, I enjoyed the beauty and the treasure we hau@ while .alking to school~ It really gaue Re a good tiRe and feeling to reflect on things happening and to not be disturbed by car Aotors or buses or I any other city disturbance. I think that putting those townhouses in will definitely destroy the natural beauty that we haue at that corner. I Another thing that I'~ concerned about is that if you put those townhouses in I would be calculating that at least another 25 vehicles would be passing through that corner. I think that corner is already dangerous enough. I think that I allowing the townhouses to be built would be signing death tickets! The final reason I'~ against the building is that it will I destroy the nature that liues around it. As you night Of heard people haue seen wild turkey. red fox, deer, and Rany other ani.als. I nean if there was a shooting next to your house I'R sure you'd ftOue out and I think that's exactly I what's going to happen here. Also I don't think that the city engineers, no Ratter how bright they are, uill be able to reshape and prevent the natural disaster of a flood. I reneAber one year when the flood waters fron the lake alAOst Ie ouerflowed the road. Hature is sometimes delayed in the natural cycle but can neuer be stopped! I hope you ~ake the right decision in this coming City I Counsel Meeting and keep that space open.

I The National Wetland Inventory Map as wen as the County Soil Survey indicate that the site rnnt.H;nR a much larger area of jurisdictional wetland than is shown on your plan. Wetland _I boundary determinA+;nns are based on vegetation, soiIs and hydrology, and generally must be done during the "growing season.' Depending on weather conditiODll, I anticipate it will be late April or early May before a fiDal wetland determination can be made. Since the outcome of the wetland determination could impact the final design of your project, . including the location of the ponding area, we will put further review of your permit application on hold until this matter is resoived. .

I, MINUTES OF A MEBTING OF THE JURISDICTIONS WHICE CONTRACT WITH RAMSBY COtlllTY SHERIFF I S DBPARTMENT FOR POLICB SBRVICBS February 16, 1995 I +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ . Brian Fritsinger, Chair, called the meeting to order at 7:45 a.m. The following members were present: I - Jerry Bergeron, Commander, Ramsey County Sheriff's Department - Brian Fritsinger, city of Arden Hills - Joel Hanson, City of Little Canada I - Dick Lang, City of North Oaks - Jan Reagan, White Bear Township - Terry Schwerm, City of Shoreview - Bill Short, White Bear Township I - Jerry Urban, City of Vadnais Heights Also present: Sheriff Bob Fletcher; Gary Kollman, Public I Safety Communications Supervisor & Sharon Hughes, Training Coordinator. APPROVAL OF MINUTES I The Minutes of January 26, 1995, were approved as submitted. ., FOURTH OUARTBR CRIME STATISTICS Bergeron distributed the Fourth Quarter 1994 comparative Crime statistics Reports for each community. He explained that . increased vandalism was common in the area. Juvenile crime prevention was discussed and it was noted that Federal dollars may be available for this purpose. Bergeron explained that the I common curfew will be enforced, and that the Ramsey County Sher- iff's Department intends to conduct "curfew sweeps" in coordina- tion with other Departments this spring. A fine system for I juveniles was discussed, noting that it could in some instances, eliminate going through the courts system. Bergeron will report back with regard to this idea. I 'll'EIGHT RESTRICTION TRAINING REPORT = DBPUTY VAUGHN Deputy Vaughn's report has been rescheduled to the March . meeting. Urban stated his concern that Deputy Vaughn is not certified in weight restrictions. Bergeron explained that this issue will be discussed in detail next month, however, right now I our resource is the MN State Highway Patrol. COMMUNICATIONS I Gary Kollman discussed a proposal to convert to an 800 MHz communications system, a new computerized dispatch system, and .' consolidation. Initially, the system is proposed for State Patrol & the Minnesota Department of Transportation. Ramsey I ------- I Sheriff Contract Group Minutes ,- Fellruary ~6, J.995 County could connect to the system in the future. The "backbone system" has been estimated to cost from 30 to 40 million . dollars. If all of Ramsey County converts, it could cost as much as an additional 21 million dollars. . Kollman explained the need for more radio channels. There are not enough frequencies left for everyone to use. The idea is to make greater use of the frequencies and to increase communication I traffic between agencies (get everyone on same radio band). Why go 800 MHz: 1) need for more radio channels; 2 ) nowhere I else to go; 3 ) aging RF backbone; 4 ) region wide communications; 5) common equipment; 6) economy of scale; 7) fill coverage holes; 8) expansion & flexibility; 9) re- farming (an effort by FCC to make more frequencies out of what . currently exists). It was noted that most other counties have a "county-wide" . dispatching service. Kollman explained the need for a new Computer Aided Dispatch System. Right now, the system is shared with three agencies (St. I Paul Fire Department, st Paul Police Department & Ramsey County). The "processors" are no longer being made, maintenance costs 'I continue to increase, and are only guaranteed for 5 years. A 60% discount has been offered by the current vendor to upgrade the system. Why Consolidate: 1) reduced personnel costs; 2) avoid costly . equipment duplication; 3 ) shared county-wide costs; 4 ) coordination; 5) sharing of radio frequencies; 6) cost pay back in under 4 years; 7) economy of scale. . It was explained that the proposals are still in the developmental stages, with presentation to the Ramsey County CIP . Board scheduled for March 9, 1995. OUARTERLY TRAFFIC SOUAD REPORT I Discussion tabled until next month. SMART ~ I It the of the to continue the current was consensus Group practice whereby deputies set up and dismantle the SMART Unit. I In the future, it could be a CSO duty. The Group wants to see more frequent ticketing in conjunction with its use. COMMUNITY SERVICE OFFICER NEEDS BY COMMUNITY I Bergeron requested each community to prepare a list of specific '. 2 I ---- --- I I. Sheritt Contract Group Minutes February 16, 1995 CSO duties. The list should be submitted to him within two weeks. I CONTRACT LANGUAGE I Schwerm will prepare a final draft and mail to each community prior to the next meeting. I COPS AHEAD GRANT A copy of the application was distributed. It has been approved I by the Sheriff and submitted to meet the March 3, 1995, deadline. BrLL ECKLUND LETTER OF APPRECrATrON I This letter was signed by Group members at the appreciation luncheon on Wednesday, February 15, 1995. I OTHER BUSnlESS Temporary parking restrictions were discussed. Uniform sign covers were suggested. Deputies would then be assured of I community approval. II Bergeron submitted information from the MN State Highway Patrol Department (attached) with regard to patrol car seats. Officer back problems were noted. Pro-copper seat pamphlets were distributed. This seating, which is specifically designed for I squad cars, accommodates police equipment, enables quicker and easier ingress and egress, and provides support material that enhances comfort and durability without the use of springs. Cost is $900 per seat, with a 5-year warranty. The seats can be taken I out of one squad car and installed in another car. Bergeron explained that the county currently rebuilds each regular squad car seat about three times, at a material cost of $80 for each I repair. Urban moved to approve the purchase of two Pro-Copper seats, at a cost of $900 each. Short seconded. Ayes all. I The meeting adjourned at 9:40 a.m. I The next meeting is scheduled for 7:30 a.m., March 16, 1995. .., Res~ect~ /;ubmi tted, I '~~j~{''-,,-_A~yaf'--' . . !

I Absent at roll call: Commissioner David Sand. Also present were Mayor Dennis Probst; Councilmember Dale Hicks; Bri'lJ) J'ritsingcr, I City Administrator; Jerry Filla, City Attorney; John Bergly, Consulting Engineer; and Ruth McLaurin, Recording Secretary. I~ APPROVE MINUTES I Chair Erickson noted one addition to the February 1, 1995 meeting minutes, Commissioner Marty Rye was in attendance. I Piotrowski moved, seconded by Larson, to approve the February 1, 1995 minutes as amended. All voted in favor (6-0). I CASE #95.5 PUBLIC HEARING. MASTER PLAN POO AND SITE.E.LAN..BE.YIEW FOR 18 UNIT TOWNHOME SUBDIVISION. APPLICANT-DAN Q.GEFl'f. I Chair Erickson opened the public hearing at 7:35 p.m. City Administrator Fritsinger indicated staff has currently been working with the developer I regarding site issues. Mr. Fritsinger noted the Commission reviewed a concept of this development at their last meeting. Mr. Fritsinger introduced Mr. John Bergly, Cow;ulting I Engineer for the City to present his report. Mr. Bergly indicated the applicant is requesting approval of an 18 urnt townhome Planned Unit I Development (POO) Master Plan and Final Plan (site plan) on a 6.49 acre parcel in the R.1 Single Family Residential district. ." I ORPJ" . Arden HilkJjannim~ Minutes Pal!e 2 03/01/95 .1 Mr. Bergly indicated the Concept Plan for this PUD was reviewed by the Planning Commission I in February and a brief review by City Council on February 28. After addressing issues raised, . the applicant has submitted revised plans for review as a combined PUD Master plan and Final Plan as authorized in Section V.L.s.a. of the Zoning Ordinance. On this site, a Comprehensive Plan Amendment should be undertaken to clarify the land use designation, which will be . addressed later this evening. Mr. Bergly indicated issues still to be resolved; the trail, the free standing garage, the cul-de-sac, I and the utility easement location. Mr. Bergly indicated staff would prefer the free standing garage to have a driveway turn around . and the doors face away from County Road E-2. Mr. Bergly noted several questions were raised regarding potential flooding problems. The City . Engineer has reviewed the plans and finds that water storage needs have been appropriately calculated. He indicated the basement floor elevation is 2.8 feet above the 100 year flood elevation of the on-site sediment basin. . Mr. Bergly stated the amount of required landscaping on site is 50 new trees. The landscape plan -. proposes large evergreens and a greater quantity of trees (71 instead of 50) to compensate for the larger required trees. In addition some large existing trees will be saved by using retaining walls and smaller trees will be moved on site as appropriate during site grading. I Mr. Bergly indicated with 6.49 acres and 18 units, the resulting gross density is 2.77 units per acre, with a net density of 2.87 until per acre. The ordinance allows a maximum density of 3.0 units I per acre in the R -1 district. Mr. Bergly noted last month there was discussion regarding the private street. The subdivision I ordinance in the City code has a section relating specifically to Planned Unit Developments. Section 22-12, b,(l), a, exempts a previous requirement (22-8,c,(lS) that does not allow private streets. Therefore, no variance is needed for the private streets. The street name, although I private, conflicts with a similar street name in the City and will have to be changed. Mr. Bergly noted some were concerned with the street width. A street width of 26 feet is I proposed whereas the minimum public street width normally is 32 feet. Parking on the 26 foot street would not be recommended. In lieu of street parking, a six car visitor parking area is I proposed near the center of the development. The City would encourage additional off street parking. Mr. Dan Ogren, the applicant, indicated he had grown up in Arden Hills and his daughters attend . Mounds View High School. He stated he had not planned this development lightly, he had ". reviewed the impact to the area, trying to keep as much of the natural beauty as possible. I ,~~I-:~ I ,--., ."\, .~ , C\'"-~. ~, u:~ ~ I. Arden Hills flannin~ ~inutes Pa~e 3 03/01/95 I Mr. Ogren indicated he wanted to provide homes for those individuals who did not want to leave Arden Hills, but had a lifestyle change. I Mr. Ogren briefly described the one level units. I Mr. Ogren indicated he is not asking for more than is allowed. The path will be kept intact. I Mr. Ogren indicated the development is less dense than it could be. Chair Erickson asked for those in favor of the project to step forward. I Mr. Chuck Winden 1604 Chatham Avenue, has lived in the area for approximately 15 years. He indicated the development would be compatible to the area. He stated the area has been I zoned R-1 for approximately 15 years. He is in favor of the proposed development. Mr. Gene Schmidt 1628 Chatham Avenue, enjoys Arden Hills. He is excited about the I development. He has reviewed other developments that Mr. Ogren has been involved in and has heard good reports. I~ Chair Erickson hearing no further comments supporting the project, inquired as to opposition to the project. I Mr. Mark Chapin 3947 Rolling Hills Road, provided the Commission with a letter from two neighbors and himself regarding the environmental impact of the development. He requested I delay of the project until an environmental assessment worksheet study could be done. He indicated the residents are not experts, but would like expert opinion. I Mr. Chapin indicate he moved to Arden Hills for these amenities. He indicated speaking with other groups that are interested in the results of environmental studies. I Mr. Ken Hanzalik 1768 Venus Avenue, with the use of a map, pointed out wetlands that are existing and wetlands that have been destroyed. He indicated concern for the environmental impact. I Mr. Hanzalik inquired as to the location of the trail, would it be between the townhomes. I Mr. Hanzalik inquired as to how the property was sold, there was no "for sale" sign posted. Mr. Hanzalik indicated concern for the older oak trees on the site, he did not want them destroyed. I I~ I - ------ ------ --- . ~1 I (~ i-:'\r. c. -4 . ':\~::':~ j Arden tiill~ ~lanninl!C Minutes Pal!Ce 4 03/01/95 .- Mr. Hanzalik indicated concern for the time frame of the proposed development, if the - development is built as lots are bought the project could take up to a number of years. Although - he indicated he understood concern for a project that develops all at once. Mr. Hanzalik indicated he had not made up his mind on the project, but would like the - Commission and the Council to address the issues that are being raised at this meeting. Ms. Joyce Kloncz Valentines Hills School, she is the science specialist from Valentines Hills - Elementary School. She indicated they are currently looking at ways to tie the natural surroundings of the area with the school. She indicated bird banding, camouflage simulations, and other activities go on in the site area, fox have even been sighted. Ms. Kloncz encouraged no - development be allowed in the area. Mr. Bob Eha 3898 Dellview, indicated he felt the City could buy the area and dedicate it to open - space. He noted most of the residents already assumed it was part of the Ramsey County open space. He indicated additional area will be available for development with the Arsenal land. I Ms. Fran Holmes 1804 Venus Avenue, she indicated she recently has served on the finance committee for the City of Arden Hills. She indicated concern for the R-l Single Family zoning, ~I a Special Use Permit would be required. She noted the burden lies upon the City as to why a permit could not be granted, she believes the wetlands, wildlife and traffic concerns could be enough reason not to grant a Special Use Permit. I Ms. Dolores Bedford, indicated she did not want any additional neighbors. Ms. Bedford noted the area has previously flooded and believes there will continue to be problems with drainage. I Ms. Kristine Poelzer 1870 Indian Place, indicated she served on the finance committee also. Ms. Poelzer indicated concern for mixed messages that the Planning Commission have projected. She I indicated businesses coming into the City have been required to have open space, but now where there is open space, development will be allowed. She felt this to be contradictory. I Ms. Poelzer indicated concern for the environment and who would monitor the ponds and overflow. Ms. Poelzer encouraged the Planning Commission to follow the precedent of being thoughtful I to the environment, and deny development in this area. I Mr. Jim Summerfeld 1710 Glenview Avenue, he thanked Mr. Ogren for speaking with him and also Mr. Fritsinger for answering questions. He indicated it was his understanding that an I amendment to the Comprehensive Plan by a super majority or 4/5 vote was necessary for this development to occur. ~I I I D ,7\ f1 o..~ .H. "i,....... I. Arden Hilh ~lanninl!: ~inutes Pa!!e 5 03/01/95 I Mr. Summerfeld indicated a change in the way individuals were thinking. He believed notification was sent properly, but perhaps was inadequate for the present day. He noted there I are additional concerns of citizens in 1995. He indicated the interest to this meeting by the community, shows the concerns of the community to its open spaces. I Mr. Paul Hoelscher 1750 Gramsie Road, indicated he is thirteen years old. He encouraged the Commission to save the open space, where he and his friends enjoy the outdoors and wildlife. I Mr. Jay Schrankler 1748 Venus Avenue, indicated concern that the one level homes look like two level homes. He believed this would change the character of the neighborhood. He indicated I the view from Valentine Lake will not be appealing. Mr. Schrankler noted there are multi family housing south of 694 and east of 35W. I Mr. Marty Roller 1700 Glenview Avenue, indicated concern that the intersection of. the proposed development and County Road E-2, was too close to old Highway 10. He believed I further review should be done regarding traffic with Mounds View High School, Valentine Hills Elementary and Bethel College. 1- Dr. Bob Mullin 1793 Gramsie Road, indicated he is a retired University of Minnesota professor, and currently is a scout master. He referred to a presentation he had developed regarding I wilderness. He stated two quotations from the presentation, this quote is from David Brower, 1962 "There is no art and no science of greater importance, than that which teaches seeing; which builds a sensitivity and respect for the natural world, a world thus cherished will always bring I mornings when men are new born." Dr. Mullin then quoted a Wisconsin conservationist: "We abuse land, because we regard it as a I commodity belonging to us. When we see land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect." I Mr. Paul Mingen 1774 Chadem Avenue, indicated his home is adjacent to open space and cherishes the space. He noted an article from the Shoreview Bulletin, February 8, 1995. He quoted comments from this article, "...past park land acquisition has produced a regional system I that contains a certain amount of geographical imbalance that favors the west and southwest portions of the metropolitan area according to the Metropolitan Council. Ramsey County's Recreational Open Space, at 5900 acres is barely larger than the 4800 acre Elm Creek Park I Reserve in Hennepin County alone. Clearly more open space is needed in the north central, but very little land exists." I Mr. Mingen indicated we have very little open space and he encouraged the Commission to keep I~ this area open space. I ~-f I CD- ..~.. ,.,.... . ;:;';J. ,).. ~-'-'\;.... Arden tli.lh rlannimz Minutes Pa~e 6 03/01/95 .- Ms. Angela Hames 1839 Venus Avenue, indicated she had only lived in the area for a year and I half. She indicated the proposed pipeline would link to a contiguous water system. She I encourages the Commission to have the Environmental Assessment Worksheet. Ms. Hames encouraged the Commission to have this development in the most appropriate area I of the City. She indicated this area has been considered open space for 21 years. Ms. Hames raised the question as to why Bethel -College held onto the land, and felt that should - be reviewed as to the original use for the land. Ms. Hames indicated the concern for privacy of existing homes. I Ms. Hames indicated regarding the Zoning Ordinance, under Single Family R-1, states specifically - Single Family detached housing. She believed this should also be reviewed. Ms. Ann Marie Hoelscher 1750 Gramsie Road, indicated concern that fertilizer from lawns and I affect it would have on Valentine Lake. She indicated many residents fish on that lake and fish would be affected by the contamination of chemicals. Ms. Ellen (?) 1759 Glenview, she was child of about 10 years old, indicated the area was a treat ~I for her to go to and encouraged the Commission to keep it open space. Mr. Steve Herbz 3799 McCracken Lane, indicated most of his windows overlook open space, I he indicated a quote he had read " if you are the one doing the changing, it is always good; if the change is being done to you, it's bad. - Ms. Genavieve Person 1637 Glenview, indicated she has lived in Arden Hills for 42 years. She indicated she would be looking onto the roofs of this develop. She indicated there is constant - water in the area, and believes there would be drainage problems for a development. Mr. Jim Talbot 1840 Ramsey Road, indicated he remembers 25 years ago when DuPont sold I the land to Bethel College for $1. He indicated Bethel College has been a good neighbor and Arden Hills a good neighbor to Bethel College. He believed the College should donate the land I to the City for open space. Mr. Talbot indicated he felt if single family homes would be developed, there would only be I available space for six to eight homes. Mr. Les Crosswell 1622 Glenview Court, indicated concern that the increase in density would I change the character of the neighborhood. ~I I I "1 ~'~...\ '~::I _.,) ,i, ' r l... --, , u }, '~1o i\J ,~ I. Arden Hi~lannin2 Minutes Pae:e 7 03/01/95 I Mr. Havier Pierra 3956 Glenview, indicated his house was the last to be built there and enjoys the area. He indicated if the development was allowed he would have to look at selling his home. I Mr. Don Moberg 1629 Glenview Court, indicated the reason why he had moved to the area was I because of the open space. He indicated concern for the environment and the character of that pan of the city. He indicated the wildlife he has seen in the area that would be impacted by the development. I Mr. A.W. Cheney 1732 Venus Avenue, indicated this area is a corridonhat extends across Rice Creek and beyond. He indicated if this area is develop, we would be cutting off the wildlife to I other areas. Mr. Cheney inquired if this area was included in the land which was to contribute to the open I space requirement for Bethel College. Mr. Summerfeld emphasized that not just the property owners are present but the community I at large are present. I~ Chair Erickson closed the public hearing at 9:00 p.m. Chair Erickson called for a brief recess at 9:00 p.m. I The meeting reconvened at 9:08 p.m. I Commissioner Piotrowski indicated her desire to keep the area as open space. Commissioner Piotrowski indicated a few of her concerns; she still did not want a detached I garage on the site, even though it had been moved; she would like to see some type of traffic study; an environmental impact study; and determine if Bethel College has a responsibility to the citizens; and review the location of the trail between the townhomes. I Commissioner Piotrowski indicated there would be a problem if the developer did not have clear title to the propeny. I Commissioner Carlson indicated concern for the original intention of the land by Bethel College, . and encourage staff to review. Commissioner Carlson also indicated that he did not like the idea of a detached garage regardless I of location. .- . "~l . ." " IF' .. .i::..;r .. ~- -. ., .ii v~-.. .1 Arden Hil~ Planninl! Minutes Pal!e 8 03/01/95 Commissioner Rye indicated as cmzens, we do not own the land and can not prohibit I development, but with a Planned Unit Development, the Commission can provide for guidelines. I He indicated the applicant has followed all the requirements. Commissioner Rye noted as far as an Environmental Assessment Worksheet, the size of the parcel . would not warrant a smdy. Commissioner Nelson indicated he also did not like the garage. He indicated the road, even . though private should be 32 feet. Commissioner Nelson inquired if a park dedication fee would be required. Mr. Fritsinger I indicated this to be the case. Commissioner Nelson concurred with Commissioner Rye, that the site was too small to call for I an Environment Assessment Worksheet. Mr. Bergly indicated the Environmental Assessment Worksheet and Impact Smdy are not I required. He noted some of the environmental issues have been addressed, the ponds will be sedimentary ponds and will clarify the water before it would flow into other bodies of water. -I Commissioner Nelson inquired if the wetland setback has been met. Mr. Bergly indicated the City does not have a wetland setback. . Commissioner Nelson inquired if it is necessary to change the Comprehensive Plan. City Attorney Filla indicated the Comprehensive Plan shows the land as open, but not designated and . the zoning shows the area as R-1 Single Family. He indicated when the two conflict the zoning will control the land. He noted the reason for amending the Comprehensive Plan is for consistency . . Commissioner Larson applauded the residents for eloquently presenting their view point. He . indicated though, had he been on the Planning Commission many years ago, there perhaps were individuals in opposition to the develop of the homes of those in attendance. Commissioner Larson indicated concern that the citizens are asking to move for a Development . where a Planned Unit Development is not required and general single family homes would be developed. He indicated with a Planned Unit Development the Commission has more control I over what is developed and the open space. Commissioner Larson indicated he would prefer a 32 foot wide street and a loop in the water I main. He also indicated concern for the need for a detached garage. -.

Mr. I Fritsinger indicated the developer has exceeded the ordinance requirement. Commissioner Larson inquired as to the old oaks and their removal. Mr. Fritsinger indicated if . they are within the 66 foot easement there is a potential that they would be removed. Commissioner Larson inquired as to the diameter of the cul-de-sac. Mr. Bergly indicated the I diameter would be 100 feet and could accommodate any snowplow. Mr. Ogren introduced Mr. Derek Passe, an engineer for the project. Mr. Passe indicated the room I available for the turning radius of up to a semi trailer in the cul-de-sac. Chair Erickson inquired for clarification, how R-1 designation relates to this development and I Special Use Permit versus a Planned Unit Development. Mr. Bergly indicated the R-1 district is an underlying zoning district, and there are overlay districts such as the PUD that applies in addition to the R-1 regulations. The Special Use Permit is provided to allow the City to look at I projects with a little more scrutiny. The Planned Unit Development (PUD) is a special, Special Use Permit procedure and it allows special design criteria in addition to an ordinary Special Use .- Permit. The PUD requires review of these items. Mr. Bergly indicated this site has been shown in the Comprehensive Plan as both an open space I land use, and the park plan shows this as open space for development. There also is another map in the Comprehensive Plan which shows this site as a developable single family R-1 area. He indicated there are contradictions in the Comprehensive Plan that have to be cleared up. I Chair Erickson inquired under the categories listed under the R-1 district, how is this site identified. Mr. Bergly indicated, it is considered a Planned Unit Development, which is a Single I Family under the density zoning. It could be treated as a two family project, which would be a Special Use Permit, or a Single Family attached, which would be a Special Use Permit. Staff reviewed and determined the Planned Unit Development would offer the most control and dialog I with the developer, to achieve the best for the area. Chair Erickson inquired, based on the acreage and density, could there be 18 single family homes. I Mr. Bergly indicated based on the ordinance of three units per acre and setbacks, there could be approximately 14 to 15 homes on this site. I Chair Erickson indicated a single family subdivision would only require a building permit and platting. Mr. Bergly indicated that would be correct. . Chair Erickson requested a city map to review the location of the open space that is adjacent in .e regards to the site under discussion. Mr. Bergly noted the areas on an overhead transparency. . . r"8 /~ r:~ I ~......... ,\l;:,!j .1 Arden l:lil1D'Jannin~ Minutes Pa~e 10 03/01/95 I Chair Erickson inquired as to the lot coverage for Bethel College, and if this area was originally included in the percentage required to be left as open space. I A resident briefly interrupted the chair and inquired as to the process this application takes. Chair Erickson indicated the Planning Commission is merely an advisory board to the City I Council, and will make a recommendation to the City Council for their review. The Planning I Commission reviews applications and applies City Ordinances to the application, and makes recommendations based on the ordinances. A resident indicated the Council would not have to follow a recommendation given to them by I the Commission. Chair Erickson indicated this to be correct. Mr. Fritsinger indicated the Planning Commission holds the Public Hearings regarding I applications, there will not be another Public Hearing on this item at the Council meeting, although residents can ask to comment on the project at Council meetings. I Mr. Fritsinger responding to the inquiry regarding Bethel College open space requirement, he -I indicated this parcel of land was not included in the total lot, for lot coverage requirements; also the lO acre site to the south was not included in the requirement and is therefore available for development. A resident inquired if it is the responsibility of the City to stand by statements of the realtors who I stated this area was never to be developed, because it was Ramsey County open space, the I comments were based on information the City provided to the realtors. City Anorney Filla indicated the City has no control over what is stated in a housing agreement, the zoning of the area is denoted as R-l, the zoning would take precedent over errors in the Comprehensive Plan. I City Attorney indicated the propeny is zoned R-l, the Zoning Ordinance states the following uses are allowed, the Single Family an ached, Single Family detached (the most popular), Single I Family under density zoning (what is being proposed) and Two Family dwelling. Some of the uses require building permits, special use permits, this development requires a Planned Use Development. I Chair Erickson noted the option that best serves the desire to keep as much open space as possible, would be this proposed use as a Planned Unit Development. I A resident inquired if there was clear title to the land. Mr. Ogren indicated he has a Purchase Agreement with Bethel College and they are obligated to close. I -. . 1-. ---, ~....." L.. _. '".-' il I. Arden 1j:jlls I?lannim~ Minutes Faile 11 03/01/95 I Commissioner Larson inquired if staff is comfortable with the proposal that the developer has made, in regards to the recommendations of Mr. Stonehouse. Mr. Fritsinger indicated there are I minor issues, but staff feel they can be resolved. I There were brief interruptions and discussions among the audience. City Attorney Filla indicated if there are items that concern the Commission, the developer I should be asked to provide answers. He indicated if these items do not affect the decision of recommendation, the items should be passed on to the City Council as stated conditions to the approval. I Comments from the audience indicated the City should purchase the land and leave it as open space, using Public Land Use Trust monies. Mr. Fritsinger indicated those monies are available I for use only as a loan, and the City would have to buy it from them, resulting in a cost to the residents. I Piotrowski moved, Larson seconded a motion to table application #95-12, until additional information is obtained. ._ Mr. Ogren indicated if there are concerns regarding the garage, it could be removed. He noted after walking the trail with Parks and Recreations Director Cindy Walsh, they agreed, if the walking path is moved, more trees and brush will have to be moved, although he would be I willing to do that also. He stated any conditions the Planning Commission feel are appropriate would be followed by the applicant. I Chair Erickson inquired if perhaps modifications could be made rather than tabling the item. Mr. Fritsinger indicated the City may only retain an application for 60 days. I Mr. Ogren inquired if he would develop Single Family detached homes, could an application of preliminary and final plat be made at the same time. Mr. Fritsinger indicated after review, it I would be possible to have the preliminary and final plat at the same time. Rye inquired if this area was noted originally as open space, and what were the intentions of I Bethel College for this land. Mr. Fritsinger indicated his only reference is after talking with an individual from Bethel College who has been there for 20 years, that indicated the land was not assumed co be open space forever. Mr. Fritsinger indicated there is no documentation available I to staff which supports the identification of the site. I Upon roll call vote Commissioners Piotrowski, Larson and Carlson voted in favor; Commissioners Rye, Nelson, and Erickson voted against. The motion failed.

He indicated he would like to add three conditions to the approval. 1. The noted walking trail is to be moved from its proposed location between the I proposed townhomes and current housing subdivision. 2. The detached garage and curb cut will be removed from the proposed plan. I 3. No oak tree will be removed unless noted in a building footprint. I Larson moved, Rye seconded a motion to approve Case #95-5, PUD Master Plan and Final Site Plan NW Corner of County Road E2 and Old Highway 10 Applicant -Dan Ogren I with stated conditions. Piotrowski inquired as to how a vote could be held if an easement is in question. Mr. Fritsinger I indicated a fourth condition could be added regarding contingency upon clear identification of the easement. ~I Mr. Ogren indicated concern that if the walking trail was to be moved, more trees will be destroyed, he did not feel this would necessarily be consistent with the Commission's concern I for the environment. Chair Erickson inquired as to the type of trees that would be removed. Mr. Ogren indicated I small trees, the large oaks could be left and the trail could be weaved around them. Various residents indicated concerns and questions, discussions were held. I Mr. Ogren indicated if a Single Family detach development was proposed, more green space would be lost. I Nelson inquired if a 32 foot street would be recommended for the private street and more I appropriate for emergency vehicles. Mr. Bergly indicated a 32 foot street is not a necessaty requirement, and the number of units would also playa part in requesting the wider street. He indicated currently staff is nGt concerned with the narrower street. I Nelson inquired if staff would be able to clarify the easement issue, or should this be added as a condition of approval. Mr. Fritsinger indicated it would be recommended that this be added as - a condition. -I I I Dc;"" i'\""""" ';~(k.r ~ I. Arden I:Jills Plannine: Minutes PaQ'e 13 03/01/95 I Nelson inquired as to a limitation to the bylaws, prohibiting new garages. City Attorney Filla indicated a condition could state; Association bylaws to include the following term and to be I reviewed before final City approval. Nelson indicated he would like to amend the motion with the two following conditions added: I 4. Association bylaws to include the term of no additional garages to the site, and be I reviewed by City Attorney before final City approval. 5. The public easement is to be clearly identified, and any necessary site plan I adjustments made. Nelson moved, Larson seconded a motion to accept amendment to motion adding I conditions 4 and 5 to Case #95-5. Rye indicated this procedure of Planned Unit Development is the lesser of two evils. He I indicated the City would have more control over the type of project to be developed, and less effect on the open space. I~ Mr. Fritsinger indicated clarification of condition number three, if the location of an oak would be in the proposed roadway. Larson indicated he had no objection to the removal of a tree in the roadway, but merely was concerned with the North side of the property. I Chair Erickson indicated condition three would then read: I 3. No oak tree will be removed unless noted in a building footprint or roadway area. I Motion carried. (5-1 Commissioner Piotrowski voting nay). Residents voiced various questions. I Mr. Fritsinger indicated in reply to questions regarding wetland. He indicated this site is not to his knowledge recognized as a wetland or floodplain under review of the Department of Natural I Resources and the Rice Creek Watershed district. However, these agencies are still reviewing the proposed development. He noted this proposal meets all Metropolitan Council and State reqUIrements.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT FOR I PROPERTY ON THE NW CORNER OF COUNTY ROAD E2 AND OLD HIGHW A Y I lQ. Mr. Bergly indicated the City staff requested the Comprehensive Plan be amended to clarify the designation of a 6.5 care parcel at the NW corner of County Road E2 and Old Highway 10. The I parcel is currently designated as a Park and Open space use on the land Use Plan map and on the Comprehensive Development Plan Map, but is not designated as a Park and Open Space use on the Park and Open Space Plan map. I Mr. Bergly indicated the inconsistency should be resolved by changing the Land Use Plan and Comprehensive Development Plan designation to a Low Density Residential category. I Mr. Bergly indicated this needs to be corrected whether this parcel is under other issues or not. Chair Erickson inquired if there are other areas that can be identified as inconsistent and I corrected. Mr. Fritsinger indicated the Comprehensive Plan has not been reviewed as of yet. I Mr. Bergly indicated some changes have been made to the Comprehensive Plan, but not all the changes have been made physically on the maps. -I Chair Erickson opened the public hearing at 11:04 p.m. Mr. Jim Summerfeld 1710 Glenview Avenue, asked in order for this to occur, isn't there a I super majority (4/5) required by the City CounciL Mr. Fritsinger indicated a 2/3 vote or in this case a 4/5 vote to be correct. I Mr. Summerfeld indicated he had encouraged residents to send letters to the City Council, to inform them of public opinion. I Chair Erickson hearing no further comments closed the public hearing at 11:08 p.m. City Attorney Filla indicated earlier he noted the Zoning Ordinance prevails over the I Comprehensive Plan. He indicated in theory after the Comprehensive Plan is adopted, the I Zoning Ordinance is developed and adopted. The Comprehensive Plan is not as specific as the Zoning Ordinance and therefore takes precedent.

DISCUSSION OF ROGER AIKEN DRAINAGE REOUEST I City Administrator, Brian Fritsinger, indicated that because of the construction of homes, the drainage in this area is causing flooding and other terrain problems for the resident. Re-grading I and additional landscaping changes may be in order to prevent further erosion.

CITY OF ARDEN HILLS I MEMORANDUM I DATE: March 14, 1995 I TO: Brian Fritsinger, City Administrator . FROM: @)rerrance Post, City Accountant . SUBJECT: Mileage Reimbursement Rate . The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has set the 1995 automobile mileage reimbursement rate at 30 cents per mile. Employers may reimburse employees for substantiated business miles at the 30 cents per mile rate. I At the April 25, 1994 regular meeting, Council took action under the consent calendar to approve I. the 1994 automobile mileage reimbursement rate at 29 cents per mile. Recommendation I Staff recommends that Council consider approving a mileage reimbursement rate of 30 cents per mile at the March 27, 1995 Council meeting as permitted by the IRS. . I I I I I .. . I I. CITY OF ARDEN HILLS I MEMORANDUM DATE: March 22, 1995 I TO: Brian Fritsinger, City Administrator I FROM:@Terrance Post, City Accountant . SUBJECT: 1994 Operating Transfers . By means ofthis memorandum, I wish to document four fiscal year 1994 operating transfer situations and recommend that Council formally approve such 1994 fund operating transfers at the March 27,1995 Council meeting. . 1. General Fund (101) Transfer to Municipal Buildin~s Fund (408) The adopted 1994 budget provided for a $118,750 operating transfer from the General I Fund to the Municipal Land & Buildings Fund. As 1994 actual property tax revenue has met 1994 budget expectations, it is recommended that this budgeted transfer action occur. I- 2. Certificate ofIndebtness Fund No. (320) Transfer to PIR Fund (501) The adopted 1994 budget provided for a $26,075 operating transfer from the Certificate . of Indebtness No. I Debt Fund to the Permanent Improvement Revolving (PIR) Fund. Due to a small property tax shortfall, it is recommended that only $25,971.03 be transferred to the PIR Fund. I 3. General Fund (101) Transfer to Diseased Shade Tree Fund (224) The adopted 1994 budget provided for a $4500 operating transfer from the General Fund . to the Diseased Shade Tree Fund to subsidize operating losses of this special revenue fund. Because of the small volume of diseased tree removal on private property, 1994 expenditures are down significantly against 1994 planned expenditures. It is . recommended that $4000 be transferred from the General Fund. 4. Community Services Fund (225) Transfer to Program Fund (226) . The adopted 1994 budget provided for a $43,300 operating transfer to the Program Fund to subsidize operating losses of this special revenue fund. The 1994 budget assumed the . 1994 Program Fund expenditures ($131,100) would exceed 1994 operating revenues ($87,800) by $43,300. Preliminary results indicate an operating deficit of$19,596. It is recommended that $20,000 be transferred from the Community Services Fund to fund I this anticipated deficit. .. Staff Request If Council concurs with these operating transfer recommendations, they should consider formally approving them under the consent calendar for the March 27,1995 Council meeting. I ----- I 1 I- CITY OF ARDEN HILLS MEMORANDUM I I DATE: March 16, 1995 TO:. Brian Fritsinger, City Administrator I FROM: .@)Terrance Post, City Accountant I SUBJECT: February 1995 Operating Results/Commentary I Enclosed are "General Fund" and "All Funds" budget summaries for the two months ended February 28, 1995. Following is commentary on significant February transactions: I General Funds (101) Revenue- $25,504 was receipted in Intergovernmental Revenue which represents 50% of I our MSA Maintenance allocation. Expenditures- The Administrative Office Department monthly spending is disproportionately I- high because of allocated annual insurance premium costs (liability $21,494 and worker's comp $6605). I The Police and Animal Control Department YTD spending reflects three months (January, February, March) of contract payment cost ($134,850) to the Ramsey County Sheriff Department. I Other Funds Utility Funds- The negative revenue amounts in both the current month and YTD columns I reflect a reversal of the 12/31/94 accrued fourth quarter 1994 utility receivable. Our first quarter collections of this billing have been less than the amount billed. I If you have any questions on the enclosed financial data or the comments above, do not hesitate to discuss them with me. I I I I- I I . ,,~ '1"'1 Ie; II m- '" '" '" '" ...... ......

RAMSEY COUNTY TURNBACK ISSUES Dear Mr. Fritsinger: . This letter was prepared to address several issues concerning the referenced subjects. The CIVIL ENGINEERIN&. first of which is the turnback of Stowe A venue. As noted at Monday night's City Council ._IRONMENTAL meeting, I met with Mr. Tim Mayasich of Ramsey County Public Works on Tuesday, NIClPAl March 14, 1995. As a result of that meeting, the enclosed sample resolution is submitted PlANNING for your consideration. As indicated in the feasibility study for the reconstruction of Stowe . SOLID WASTE Avenue, Ramsey County has proposed to use Option #2 for the turnback, resulting in the STRUCTURAL anticipated 100% funding of County eligible funds for that portion of the project. That SURVEYING amount is estimated at approximately $100,000, but may vary slightly based upon bids . TRAFFIC received and actual construction costs. More importantly, the project can proceed this TRANSPORTATION summer as outlined in that report. I ElECTRICAl/MECHANICAL The second issue is the County's desire to have maintenance and construction responsibility ENGINEERING: HVAC for Hamline Avenue from Floral Drive to T.H. 96, and West County Road F from I POWER DISTRIBUTION Hamline Avenue to Lexington Avenue, turned back to the County from the City of Arden SCADA Hills. As it has been proposed to seal coat Hamline A venue, we recommend deleting that SYSTEM CONTROLS portion of the 1995 Street Maintenance project at a potential savings to the City of I approximatley $22,000 to $25,000. Finally, upon resolution of these issues, we need to finalize the designation of Municipal I State Aid Streets for the City by May 1, 1995. This is typically required prior to March 1; however, the County has provided the MnDOT State Aid office with a list of all proposed turnbacks in the County to delay that reporting date until May 1. . .FICES IN: I MINNEAPOliS PRIOR LAKE . 51.

Walsh, Parks and Recreation Director SUBJECT: Purchase of Parks One Ton Truck I Price Ouotes I The 1995 Parks maintenance budget includes the purchase of a One Ton Truck. I have received four bids from GMC, Dodge, Chevrolet and Ford. Ford doesn't seem to be an option since we would have to order a 1996 model, and they would charge an additional $1000 to paint it tan. I The remaining bids are as follows: Polar Chev $23,500 I GMC $28,000 Dodge $27,000 II The box and plow need to be ordered and purchased from a separate company. The low quote I for a 9' Leo plow and a 9' box is $7600 from Crysteel. Recommendation I I recommend that we purchase the truck from Polar Chev. They can have it for us within two months if we order it by March 31, 1995. I Sale of existing One Ton Truck Polar Chev would take our truck on a trade-in for $7000. I recommend selling it ourselves.
