'. CITY OF ARDEN HILLS
, MEMORANDUM
, DATE: March 28, 1995
TO: Brian Fritsinger, City Administrator
, FROM:@ Terrance Post, City Accountant
, SUBJECT: Additional Data Regarding Mileage Reimbursement Rate
, At the 3/27/95 Council meeting, Councilmember Hicks requested that item 4a. "Mileage
Reimbursement Rate Increase" be removed from the consent calendar. He further directed staff
, to quantify the impact of this recommendation on the 1995 budget and to obtain comparable
reimbursement rates from neighboring communities.
, 1995 Budget Impact
Mileage reimbursement costs are captured by object code #3310. Of the total $3650.00 in this
.. expense category in the 1995 budget, $2,600.00 (71 %) is planned in various departments ofthe
General Fund.
, 1994 estimated expenses in this category are $3,260.28 (11,242 miles). Assuming the same
mileage and a $.30 reimbursement rate, 1995 expense could be estimated at $3372.60. This
estimate would be a 7.6% positive deviation against the 1995 budget.
, Other Community Milea~e Reimbursement Rates/Mile
. Mounds View $.30
New Brighton $.30
Shoreview $.30
, Roseville $.30
Ramsey County $.30
I Recommendation
Based on the above 1995 budget impact analysis and review of other jurisdictions mileage
. reimbursement rates, it appears that the suggested increase in the City of Arden Hills mileage
reimbursement rate from $.29 to $.30 is a planned budget expenditure increase and is in line with
other communities reimbursement rates.
, Staff would again ask council to consider approving this reimbursement rate increase under
,. consent at the April 10, 1995 Council meeting.

I FROM:
SUBJECT: Environmental Assessment Worksheet Petition - Ogren PUD
I
Background
I On March 22, 1995, the City of Arden Hills received a Petition requesting that an
Environmental Assessment Worksheet be prepared on the Ogren PUD Project. This Petition
, was forwarded to the City from the State Environmental Quality Board on behalf of the
Neighbors of Valentine Lake, Inc.
,- What is an EA W?
I The purpose of the EA W process is to disclose information about potential environmental
impacts of a project. The EA W is not an approval process. The information disclosed in the
EA W process has two functions:
I (1) It is used to determine whether an EIS is needed; and
I (2) It indicates how the project can be modified to lessen its environmental
impacts.
I The EA W process involves four major steps:
(1) The proposer ofthe project supplies data necessary for the completion of the
I EA W to the Responsible Governmental Unit (RGU).
I (2) The RGU prepares the EA W.
(3) Thirty (30) day public comment period.
I
,.
,
,
'. 2
I (4) The RGU responds to the comments received and makes a decision on the
need for an EIS based on the EA W, comments received and the responses
I to the comments. The RGU and other units of government may require
modifications to the project to mitigate environmental impacts as disclosed
through the EA W process.
I When is an EA W Required?
I An EA W is required for any project listed in the "mandatory EA W categories" of the EQB
rules. It is staffs' position that this project does not fall under any ofthese categories and a
, mandatory EA W is not required.
Ifthe preparation of an EA W is neither mandatory nor exempted the City has the option to
, prepare an EA W. The City may elect this option if it finds that available evidence indicates
that the project "may have the potential for significant environmental effects."
, Who Prepares the EA Wand Who Pays for Its Costs?
,. The proposer of the project provides the required data or information to the City. It is the
RGU (City of Arden Hills) duty to complete the EA W form.
The cost ofthe EA W will be borne by the developer. The City requires the developer to pay
I all associated fees incurred by the City or its consultants as it relates to a project.
Staff Recommendation
, In reviewing the Petition and the issues yet to be resolved on this project, the completion of
I an EA W presents an opportunity to take a closer look at the site and to better provide more
detailed information about the potential environmental impacts which will assist in the
analysis of the project.
, Staff would recommend the Council consider a motion directing Staff to hire a firm to
complete the EA W for the proposed townhome project.

I RE: Petition for an Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EA W) for the
Daniel Ogren Townhouse Project
I Dear Mr. Fritsinger:
I The Environmental Quality Board (EQB) has received a petition requesting that an EA W
be prepared on the project described in the petition, and has determined that the City of
Arden Hills is the appropriate governmental unit to decide the need for an EA W. The
. requirements for environmental review, including the preparation of an EA W, can be
found in the Minnesota Rules, parts 4410.0200 to 4410.7800. Please contact me if you
do not have access to these mles.
. The procedures to be followed in making the EA W decision are set forth in part
.. 4410.1100. Key points in the procedures include:
1. No final government approvals may be given to the project named in the petitions,
I nor may constmction on the project be started until the need for an EA W has been
determined. Project constmction includes any activities which directly affect the
environment, including preparation of land. If the decision is to prepare an EA W,
. approval must be withheld until either a Negative Declaration is issued or an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is completed (see part 4410.3100.)
. 2. A first step in making the decision regarding the need for an EA W would be to
compare the project to the mandatory EA W, EIS and Exemption categories listed
in parts 4410.4300, 4410.4400, and 4410.4600, respectively. If the project should
. fall under any of these categories, environmental review is automatically required
or prohibited. If this should be the case, proceed accordingly.
. 3. If preparation of an EA W is neither mandatory nor exempted, the city
has the option to prepare an EA W. The standard to be used to decide if an EA W should =
be done is given in part 4410.1100, subp. 6. Note that this requires that a record of ~

I Re: Request for an Environmental Assessment Worksheet
Dear Mr. Dowuing:
. Please consider this letter and its attachments as our fonnal request that an Environmental
Assessment Worksheet (EA W) be completed for a proposed project to develop a wetland and
I open space in Arden Hills, Ramsey County, Minnesota.
The proposed project is a townhouse development on approximately six and one-half
acres of land owned by Bethel College and Seminary located at the northwest comer of Ramsey
. County Road E2 and Old Highway 10 (also known as Old Snelling Avenue). The proposer of
the project is Daniel Ogren, 4570 Churchill Street, Shoreview, Minnesota 55126 (telephone
(612) 481-6765).
.- We have prepared a petition requesting an EA W which contains the signatures and
mailing addresses of more than 25 individuals as required by Minn. Stat. Section 116D.04, subd.
. 2a(c) (1994) and Minn. R. 4410.1100 (1993). ~ Exhibit A (attached). Moreover, we contend
that the proposed project to build townhouses on wooded open space which contains three
delineated wetlands and is adjacent to protected wetlands and a protected water requires a
mandatory EA W.
I As you know, an EA W is "a brief document which is designed to set out the basic facts
necessary to detennine whether an EIS is required for a proposed project or to initiate the scoping
I process for an EIS." Minn. R. 4410.0200, subp. 24 (1993). See also Minn. Stat. Section
116D.04, subd. la(c) (1994). An EA W is a fact-finding tool created to give governmental
officials important infonnation about a proposed project's potential for affecting the environment.
. "An EA W must be prepared for projects that meet or exceed the threshold of any"
mandatory category. Minn. R. 4410.4300, subpart L Minn. R. 4410.4300, subp. 27 identifies
wetlands and protected waters as a mandatory threshold category. It states in relevant part that
I "[flor projects Ihat will change or diminish the course, current, cross-section of one acre or more
of any protected water or protected wetland. . . ." an EA W is required.!
. 1 A protected water and protected wetland are defined by what is a public water and wetland in Minn. Stat. Section
1030.005, subds. 15 and 19, Wetland "means lands transitional between terrestriai and aquatic systems where the
. water table is usually at or near the surface or the iand is covered by shaUow water. For purposes of this
definition, wetiands must have the foUowing three attributes: (1) have a predominance of hydric soils; (2) are
inundated or saturated by surface or ground water at a frequency and duration sufficient to support a prevalence of
.e hydrophytic vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions; and (3) under normal circumstances
support a prevalence of such vegetation, . , ,"
I 1
I
I. The proposed project site contains three delineated wetlands according to the 1991
I National Wetlands Survey. See Exhibit B (attached). The developer's engineering report
erroneously claims that the "NWI map shows no weIlands on the site." See Exhibit C (attached).
I The proposed project site is adjacent to Ramsey County Open Space, which contains two
protected wetlands, and Valentine Lake, which is a protected water. The "Soil Survey of
Washington and Ramsey Counties Minnesota" prepared by the United States Department of
I Agriculture (April 1980) (Soil Survey) characterizes the subject property's soil as excessively wet
and subject to severe frost action making it an excellent wetland, but a poor site for construction
of residential units.
I The Soil Survey specifies soil categories 544 and 1055 for the site in question. Category
544 is "Cathro Muck" which is "a level, very poorly drained soil. . . . Much of this soil is in
I native vegetation or is cleared and used for pasture. . .. It has poor potential as building sites. .
. [and] has good potential for wetland wildlife habitat. . . . This soil is poorly suited 10 building
site development and sanitary facilities because of wetness and flooding. The high susceptibility
to frost action and low soil strength also add to overall poor construction characteristics. If this
I soil is to be used for building, the organic material should be completely removed before fill is
added." Soil Survev at 80.
I Category 1055---"Aquolis and Histosois, ponded"---"consists of level, very poorly
drained mineral and organic soils around lakes or rivers and in depressions of till plains and
outwash plains. Some areas are dry late in summer or during periods of drought, but most areas
I- are continuously ponded. . .. Because the water table is high and there is a lack of suitable
outlets, this. . . [soil] has poor potential for crops, pasture, woodland, and community
development. However, it has good pOlential for food and cover for wetland wildlife. . .. This
. . . [area] provides nesting, mating, and escape areas for waterfowl, furbearers, and upland
I game. Many of these areas are impractical to drain because of the proximity of nearby streams or
lakes. However, if suitable ouIlets are available, this unit can be drained. Areas to be drained
need preliminary on-site investigation of the nature and thickness of soil material. This
I investigation helps determine what management or engineering practices are needed and whether
drainage is feasible." Id. at 92.
This property's ability to support stable construction has nOI been demonstrated.
I Adequate soil analysis, including soil borings to appropriate depths, has not been completed.
The nature of the soils on this property suggests poor suitability for development and implies that
significant soil correction would be necessary prior to construction. Such soil correction would
I require removal of vasl amounts of native organic material resulting in unknown adverse effects
upon site-specific and adjacent wetlands and wildlife habitat.
I The proposed project has the potential for other negative environmental effects. The
developer proposes a storm drain in which excess waters from the weIland and run-off would be
pumped and piped to a proposed stagnant holding pond and directed into Valentine Lake which is
a protected water. The Rice Creek Watershed District is investigating whether this engineering
I system will dewater the wetland on site. See Exhibit D (attached). This artificial drainage system
has the potential for diminishing and damaging Valentine Lake. Storm drain run-off containing
salts and chemicals, including pesticides and herbicides, will be pumped into the holding pond
I and into a protected water (Valentine Lake). Creation of the holding pond itself appears to
sacrifice and destroy a natural wetland on the property.
I-
I 2
I
I. The potential for destruction of wildlife habitat especially for endangered and threatened
species requires a biodiversity inventory. The impact of the proposed project on migrating
I wildlife has not been investigated. Rare and endangered species (Blanding's turtles) are known
to live in Arden Hills. It is known that turtles migrate into the site targeted by this project as they
are frequently sighted on Old Hwy 10 crossing from Valentine Lake into the open space. A
. multi-season biodiversity inventory must be performed on this open space.
The subject property is also a key component of the wildlife migration corridor extending
I west from Rice Creek. me parcel links Valentine Lake with Ramsey County Open Space.
Development here has the potential for destroying food, shelter and migratory routes for wetland
and other wildlife. Leveling of the only existing knoll in this region destroys high ground critical
to wetland wildlife habilat This area provides nesting, mating and escape areas for waterfowl,
. furbearers, and upland game. The environmental effects associated with loss of wildlife habitat
must be studied.
. Finally, as outlined above, the soils in this area are excessively wet and subject to frost
action. Arden Hills' consnlting engineers have asserted that area waters can be controlled;
however, the city's experience with run-off and flooding, e.g., at the townhouses north of 1-694
on Old Hwy 10 as well as in Valentine Park have shown otherwise.
. For these reasons, the undersigned petitioners, residents, homeowners, and tax payers
respectfully request an Environmental Assessment Worksheet to be prepared prior to the Arden
. Hills' City Council consideration of approval of the proposed townhouse project

.. Alternatives for the Reconstruction of County Road F. West.
. in Arden Hills, Minnesota
presented by
. Arden Hills Residents
. INTRODUCTION
A neighborhood information meeting was held on Thursday, 30 March 1995 at the New Brighton
. Family Service Center. At this meeting, a number of Arden Hills residents discussed the city's
proposed design for the reconstruction of County Road F. West. That plan, as approved by the
city council on 27 February 1995, was viewed as having some problems that the citizens feel
. need to be corrected before the construction begins.
The citizen's concerns are in the following areas:
. I. the plan for a walkway on the south side of the road;
2. the width of the road and walkway;
. 3. parking on the road;
4. no passing;
.- 5. safety of the road due to the speed limit.
. 1. Walkway
The walkway proposed for the south side of the road was discussed. Residenls from all along the
. south side ofthe road expressed concern about what the walkway would do to their property.
Residents on the other side of the road, as well as some from back in the Shorewood Hills area
expressed concern about the real need and justification for the walkway. There was opposition to
I the walkway in places where it would require the uprooting of trees and plants. And, there was
opposition 10 the walkway where the design would place it well into the front or side yards of
houses.
. There was some discussion in favor of a walkway. It was acknowledged that the walkway would
provide for the safe passage of children and adulIs without worrying about the traffic. However,
. when weighed against the cost in terms of nature and yards, there was overwhelming agreement
that the residents would like to see the walkway deleted from the reconstruction plan.
. 2. Width of the Road
. Once it was agreed that the residents wanted the walkway deleted, the width of the road was not
.- as big of an issue as it had previously been. In fact, many residents expressed support for six foot
wide shoulders, which if properly protected by solid white lines, would be needed to provide the
walking space along the road. It was pointed out that County Road E2 has shoulders that are
. 4 April 1995 - 1- County Road F. West
. .
.. approximately six feet wide and that people feel safe walking along that road, even though it has
. a higher speed limit. When it was understood that the road bed, as designed and laid out in the
plan, would essentially fit within the area now covered by the current road bed and shoulders,
there was no issue about the width.
. There was some discussion about the possibility of making the cross section of the road
. asymmetrical by having a shoulder that was only four feet wide on one side, while widening the
other side to eight feet. If this possible, it would be viewed favorably by the residents.
. It should be noted that the expectation is for the new centerline to be north of the current
centerline. This is because the current shoulder area on the north side is much wider than on the
south side of the road. It is assumed that the construction of the road bed will use the existing
. road bed and shoulder area, instead of encroaching on grass, shrubs, and yards.
. 3. Parking
It was noted that the plan for the road recommends that there be no parking on either side of the
. road. Although parking is currently allowed along both sides of the road, there was no major
opposition to the proposed parking ban. It was felt that the parking ban would add to the overall
.. safety of the road by keeping cars from blocking the shoulders of the road, which would now be
used as the walkways.
. 4. No Passing
. Some residents expressed the desire to see the entire length of County Road F. West, from the
bridge over the interstate highway to the junclion with Old Snelling striped for no passing in
either direction. This is the current striping on \he road, although the markings are old, worn, and
I confusing due to even older markings that were left when the latest stripes were laid down. Lack
of adequate repair over the years adds to the confusion of the markings.
I 5. Safety
I A primary concern of the citizens is for the safety of anyone using County Road F. West for
driving or walking. It was suggested that the speed limil be lowered to 30 miles per hour.
. Pedestrian Crossing areas and signs at the intersections with Fairview and Crystal may also let
drivers know that they need to slow down and drive more carefully. There was discussion of a
stop sign at the intersection with Fairview, although there was a feeling among many residents
. that a stop sign would not be effective during the busiest traffic periods, which is when it would
be wanted the most.

I RE: COUNTY ROAD F RECONSTRUCTION
BID OPENING
I Dear Mayor and Council:
I The City of Arden Hills received bids for the referenced project on March 30, 1995 at City
Hall. Enclosed is a tabulation of bids from the opening. The bid opening resulted in the
I following.
(IV" ENGI\j::).:i\JG
.NVIRONMENTAL The City received, by 10:30 a.m., four bids. The Contractors' proposals ranged from a
I ~,U!\IClFA.L low bid of $798,808.45 as submitted by Midwest Asphalt, Inc., to a high bid of
PLANNING $961,344.90 as submitted by Valley Paving, Inc. The Engineer's estimate for this work
W_~D\r'i'ASTE was determined using the mean bid from 1994 and a 4 % inflation factor.
I STRUCT.JRp,L
Sl/<V:YING The bids for this project are presented on the enclosed bid tabulation. According to the low
TRAFFIC bidder, the main reason for the lower bid price is the proximity of their New Brighton
I TRA~S;lm~ATION asphalt plant to the project. The Ihree low bids were as follows:

The Engineer's estimate as prepared upon completion of the plans, was approximately
I $900,000 (total construction cost). The relative spread of contractor proposals was
approximately $160,000 and the average bid, $895,000, was within 1 % of the Engineer's
_FICES IN estimate.

I The low bidder, Midwest Asphalt, Inc., has completed numerous projects for MSA, several
of which have been in Arden Hills. The work Midwest has been involved with has been
satisfactorily completed to the standards cf the construction industry. We find Midwest
. Asphalt, Inc., to be a responsible and competent contractor and would recommend that they
be awarded the contract for the County Road F Street Improvements project.
. Recommend~tions
. Based upon our analysis of the Contractors' submittals and the results of our investigations,
we make the following recommendations for your consideration:
. The City of Arden Hills should note acceptance and receipt of all four bid
proposals. Bid bonds should be returned to all but the three low bidders for
the project.
. The City should award the project to Midwest Asphalt, Inc, upon approval
.. of plans by MnDar, completion of the assessment hearing, and final
resolution of trail and street width issues.
All conditions and transactions as noted herein should be subject to review
. and input by the City Attorney.
I If you have questions or require further information regarding the County Road F Street
and Storm Drainage Improvements, please contact our office.
. Sincerely,
MSA, CONSULTING ENGINEERS

MEMORANDUM
.
. DATE: April 4, 1995
TO: Brian Fritsinger, City Administrator
. FROM:WTerrance Post, City Accountant
I SUBJECT: 4/3/95 Arsenal Cleanup and Conversion Project Meeting
. Last evening I attended a meeting of the Arsenal Cleanup and Conversion Project at North
Heights Lutheran Church in Arden Hills. The agenda for the two hour meeting included an
I introduction by Janet Groat, Minnesota Jobs with Peace; an update of the status of the vacant 14
TCAAP houses; a technical discussion of cleanup issues; a plea for volunteers to facilitate 20
neighborhood "TCAAP Use Planning" meetings; and organizational governance issues. The next
I meeting is scheduled for May I, 1995 at North Heights Lutheran.
.- Following are some note observations from the meeting I attended.
L Minnesota Jobs with Peace is a collaborative organization with the Operating Engineers
. labor group.
2. The Army would like to designate this group as the Restoration Advisory Board (RAB)
I for the site but the group currently has no officers and does not exist in the eyes of the
Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
I 3. Gordon Fair of the American Indian Housing Corporation from Minneapolis gave an
update on the 14 TCAAP houses. His organization exists to provide housing for
chronically homeless Indians with children. They are in the "preliminary planning stages"
. of determining the feasibility of providing services at TCAAP. They view this 25 acre
parcel as an "ideal setting" to provide supportive services in the creation of a
"chemically-free little community". The existing 14 houses plus an additional 14 houses
I would allow much space between houses and not be "cheek to cheek" as in Minneapolis.
. Mr. Fair outlined their strategy of having DOD transfer the 25 acres to the BIA who in
turn would deed ownership to the Red Lake band who would put the land in "Tribal
Trust" and then allow American Indian Housing to rehab and/or begin new construction.
. Their concerns are with any toxins that may be on the site. On 4/7/95 they along with
.. Minneapolis based Project for Pride in Living (PPL), are going to go through each house
to inventory deficiencies/concerns.
.

I. 4. According to Sacha Peterson, Minnesota Jobs with Peace intern, her internship
salary is being funded by the University of Minnesota Humphrey Institute.
. 5. Enclosed are handout materials I collected.

Arden Hills, MN 55112
I Dear Mayor Probst:
I The purpose of this memo is to inform you of my decision to withdraw from my
position as the Chairperson of the Arden Hills Public Works and Safety Committee
effective immediately. Recent changes in my professional, employment and personal
I commitments have strongly urged me to reset my priorities and time allocations. As a
retiree I've found myself being tugged into too many diverse and conflicting directions.
Common sense dictates that I need to back off from some of the commitments and
I take the time to smell the roses a bit more.
Dennis, I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to have worked four years with a
.- delightful group of community volunteers on the PW&S Committee, to have been of
service to the community of Arden Hills, to have supported its professional Mayor & its
Council Members, and to have been supported by the competent Public Works staff &
. the City Administrative staff. With the search for the new Public Works professional in
progress and with the need for rebuilding the membership of the PW&S committee, I
felt it a good opportunity to withdraw from my position on the committee.
I In addition, as a member of the PW&S Committee, I was also serving on the TH96
committee. I assume a replacement will be needed for me on that task force. I will
. attend the meeting at the Shoreview Center on the 10th of April as a last hurrah.
Dennis, best wishes in your leadership role in a great city.
I Gratefully,
V~

. Dear Sen. Mondale, Sen. Oliver, Rep. Long and Rep. Van Dellen:
. Twin Cities history was made last Thursday (March 30). Twenty-four municipal leaders
from all comers of the metro area sat down together to discuss the growing problem of
the concentration of poverty. This Twin Cities Urban Summit was called by the
. Association of Metropolitan Municipalities (AMM) Board of Directors because strong
leadership and a unified approach by all metro cities is needed if the recommendations of
AMM's Urban Revitalization Report are to be implemented.
. We reached three conclusions at our roundtable discussion that must be acted upon before
I- time runs out. A search for workable metro solutions must begin this year, or we may all
be hurt because consensus may be difficult to achieve later. We realize these
recommendations are only initial steps as we begin tackling the problems of urban decay.
. We believe:
(1) Action must be taken this year to begin addressing the problems of the
I concentration of poverty.
I (2) There must be bi-partisan legislative support for this action.
(3) The best elements of S.F. 1019/H.F. 1156 (Mondale/Long) and S.F. 1482/H.F.
I 1627 (OliverfVan Dellen) should be combined to address several key issues:
Good jobs in areas suffering economic distress.
.
I . Contaminated soils clean-up in the core cities and throughout the metro area.
I . Affordable housing opportunities throughout the metro area.
. Better transit links between jobs, housing and other needed services.
I
. Incentives 10 remove or rehabilitate blighted housing.

We realize that a solution can only be forged if we work cooperatively to develop an .
acceptable funding source. We agree with the proposed strategy for action in both bills, I
but we believe you, the authors, must devise a viable funding mechanism that's fair for all
metro cities. The staff and leadership of our various city organizations are available to
~~~~~ I
The metro leaders present at the Urban Summit will meet again at the AMM (3490
Lexington Ave. N) Thursday, April 13 at 7 p.m. to review your progress in addressing the I
issues we have raised.

TO: Mayors, Managers/Administrators
I
FROM: AMM Staff
I RE: Twin Cities Urban Summit Update
. The AMM Board of Directors at its last meeting determined that in the best interest of the
metropolitan area, a representative group of metro leaders should come together to
develop a cohesive position on the growing problem of urban decay before divisiveness
I made the effort impossible.
.- To that end, a small board subcommittee developed a list of representative officials from
each of the metro subregions. Fifteen of these municipal officials plus nine board members
attended the Twin Cities Urban Summit, held March 30 at the AMM.
I They reached three main conclusions:
(1) Action must be taken this year to begin addressing the problems of the
. concentration of poverty.
. (2) There must be bi-partisan legislative support for this action
(3) The best elements of S.F. 1019/H.F. 1156 (Mondale!Long) and S.F. 1482/H.F.
I 1627 (Oliver/Van Dellen) should be combined.
The group basically agrees with the proposed strategy for action in both bills, but feels the
I Legislature must seek a viable funding mechanism that's fair for all metro cities. A letter
outlining the groups conclusions was sent to the main bill authors, the caucus leaders and
the governor. The Urban Summit group will meet again at the AMM (3490 Lexington
. Avenue NoHh) Thursday, April 13 at 7 p.m. to continue their discussion and to review the
Legislature's progress.
. Enclosed is the invitation list to the initial meeting and the letter sent to the legislators.
You are all welcome to attend the April 13 meeting. We will contact again as this issue
.- unfolds.
