Attached. the COWIcil will find a copy of the correspondence from Mr. Aiken and the response from MSA. . Staffhas met with Mr. Aiken and discussed the improvement proposed by MSA. Mr. Aiken has agreed to the plan as identified in the letter from Mr. Stonehouse. .. Staff will be attempting to meet with the other two (2) property owners affected by this problem prior to Thusday's meeting. If successful, staff will recommend that the City consider approving this project WIder the concept proposed by MSA.

As I indicated in my facsimile dated March 16, 1995, the City Engineer has surveyed the CIVil ENGINEERING: topography of the site and observed the site to determine the possible cause of Mr. Aiken's ENVIRONMENTAL concern. I ~IPAl LANNING Based upon our records for the lot split, a drainage swale was to be constructed under the SOUD wASTE agreement with the Developer (Mr. Tom Wegleitner). Several letters were sent to both the I STRUCTURAL City and the Developer regarding the issue. These letters were dated December 4, 8, and SURVEYING 29, 1989. Based upon the resulting grading plan submitted by the Developer, a drainage TRAfFIC swale was to be constructed from the pond to culverts north and east of the developing lots, I r~ANSPORTAT10N (see attached). The bottom of this swale should have provided an outlet for the pond at an ELECTRICAL/MECHANICAL elevation of 875.2 feet above mean sea level. Our survey of the site indicates that the I ENGINEERING: swale drains west into the pond rather than east from the pond. The pond would have to HVAC reach an elevation of approximat0pt in order to actually begin to drain. POWER DISTRIBUllON 11S: I 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 to Amble Road. This should be done in accordance with the Developer's original grading I plan, if possible, at the Developer's expense. We should note that it may be difficult for the City to force the Developer to correct this issue at this point. We would also I 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 east prior the pond encroaching the Aiken property. It may be beneficial for the City to I j:"''' utilize its own Public Works staff to complete the placement of fill on Mr. Aiken's property to reduce the costs of such work. NEAPOlIS I PRIOR LAKE 51.

CITY OF ARDEN HILLS . MEMORANDUM . DATE: April 19, 1995 . TO: Mayor and City Cuuncil Brian Fritsinger, Administrat@ FROM: . SUBJECT: 1995 Pay Equity Plan . Attached the Council will find the revised Pay Equity Plan Staff is suggesting be submitted i . to DOER as required by State Statute. This Plan is similiar to the Plan provided to Council last month. . The Pay Plan has several changes from the 1993 Pay Plan. Those include: 1. An additional 6th (sixth) step. .- 2. Repointing. " Salary range adjustments (minimum 75%). ~. 4. A 2.5% range increase. . Staff has run these new changes through the DOER software and it is appears to be in compliance. I have been in contact with Karen Olson and Ann Antonsen at LRA to review . the Plan and potential union negotiations. Ms. Antonsen has provided Staff with several insights: . 1. Retroactive pay is not common on First Notice of Noncompliance. 2. DOER is only interested in the Plan passing the DOER sortware tests. . , There is no need to immediately adjust individuals to the maximum ~. of the new step. . 4. The State Pay Equity Law will not allow a Public Agency to move to a strictly Performance Plan. At a minimum a quasi performance/ step plan is required. . Mr. Post has reviewed the 1995 Pay Plan to determine the immediate cost to the City. Only the Administrative Secretary ($1.69/Hr) and Department Secretary ($1.88/Hr) will receive . a mandatory increase in base pay. The overall cost for these increases will be $3,048. .- . _______u . . . . . 2 . Other Issues The additional step will bring the Public Works maintenance employees within the Pay Plan. . However, at 99% of maximum it does not leave a great deal of room to negotiate a new contract. . The City should consider additional steps as to how it will work with the Plan to ensure . further compliance. Recommendation Staff would recommend the Council direct Staff to prepare the necessary documents for ; . formal approval on April 24 and to brief City Staff on the implications of this Plan. . . . . . . . . . . . -. . 0~/19/95 WED 1J:50 ~~ 6125.61552 L~OR REL\rIO~S ASSOC. 14l00~ I , I . 4(19'95 Job L. 1st Page 1 Job pl"'edic.'Cod I M81e FerR&le Toul Work Max Mo.

SUBJECT: City Hall RelocationJRenovation . j Backl,!round . In September, 1994, the City Council met and discussed the possibility of relocating the City Council Meetings from New Brighton and relocating City Hall/Public Works . facilities. A decision was made at that time to table further discussion of temporary City facilities until December, 1994. . . The Council has not formally discussed the possibility of relocating these uses since the September meeting. Recently a number of activities have occurred which warrant some reconsideration of this item by the City Council. I Current Issues . There are a number of issues which have caused concern over the past several months. These are not in any particular order of importance. I 1. Ventilation of Public Works Facililty - This building is inadequately ventilated and poses potential risk. I have asked for bids to correct this I problem. 2. Roof Repair - The entry area of City Hall continues to leak . excessively. I'm convinced that this problem caused at least one of the two finalists for the Planner position to withdraw from consideration. . , CametinWBu~ Infestation - The carpeting throughout the eastern one- J. half of the building is worn excessively. The City has for years only I had the carpet vacuumed once a month. This has led to existing ant and bug problems throughout the building. .e . -------- . . . 2 . 4. Furniture - The existing furniture is not adaptable to computer . keyboards. In order to avoid further injury risk to employees, furniture acquisition needs to be addressed. . 5. Council Chambers - The use of New Brighton City Hall for meetings has recently caused some problems for New Brighton. Several acts . of vandalism have occurred during the recent Ogren Public Hearings. Ontions . j Staff has not yet had an opportunity to seriously review all of the various options . available to the City for temporary City facilities. These options include: 1. Leasing space for both City Hall/Public Works . 2. Leasing space for City Hall/Council Chambers , Moving Council Chambers only ~. 4. Renovating existing facilities . . Staff Recommendation Staff would recommend the Council consider directing Staff to thoroughly review . the options available to the City in the area of temporary City facilities and prepare its findings for review at the May Worksession. . . . . . . -. .

Appruvnl of Minutes: February 23, 1995, Meeting Minutes approved with the following corrections: . - Mark Labine was present at the February 23 Finance Committee meeting - Under "Liaison Report," the reference to the Piper lafiTay settlement should be increased by a factor of 10 to: "$40,000 to $90,000". . 2. Fran Holmes provided the Committee with a status report on citizen reaction to the sale of open space owned by Bethel College. Fran is a member of a non-profit group comprised oflocal residents . . concerned about possible development of the open space property_ There appears to be some ambiguity regarding whether the property is zoned R-1 or as open space. However, most likely it is zoned R-1, which permits the constrUction of single fiuniIy homes. The developer wishes to construct I multi-family dwellings (2 family townhomes) on the open space property. Before that can happen, the developer must obtain either a "special use permit" or get approval of a Planned Unit Development (POO) from City Council. The nonprofit group is trying to get the county to purchase I the property and designate it as open space. If that option is not possible, the nonprofit group will consider the option of purchasing the property and maintaining it as open space. 3. Staff Report: T my Post gave a preliminary update on the City's 1994 financial status. It appears I that the City is in better shape in 1994 than the prior year. Terry forecasts an overage in revenue and a shortfall in projected expenditures. . 4. Action on Cummittee Projects: Tom Steele and Chuck Mertensotto attended the Mayor's meeting on March 18, 1995 regarding the TCCAP project. Members of the TCCAP task force appear to be listening to the City because we are organized. Tom and Chuck were impressed with the Mayor's I proactive approach on this matter. The Finance Committee, as well as other City Committees, intend to support the Mayor with information and materials in hopes that the final decision regarding use of the arsenal property is in the City' 5 favor. The question was asked regarding who gets to decide how . the arsenal property will be used and therefore who we need to influence. It is unclear who will make the ultimate decision on the use of the property. In all likelihood the decision will not be made by the . I . . -- -. -.---.----------- - ---- APR-17-199S 10:38 m~. peA GI.JShl P.03/03 I . Reutilization Committee. What is needed is for the City to maintain a high profile throughout _ I process to improve the odds that the final decision will be in our favor. Chuck Stoddard distributed city planning information from Maple Grove. I Mark and Tom Mulcahy provided information on contacts at the University's Center for Urban and I Regional Affairs. A Jobs for Peace program has offercd to assign a graduate student to wor:k with the City in developing land use plans for the arsenal property. Tom distributed a memo summarizing his efforts. Mark committed to writing up his contacts to be distributed at the next meeting. I Tom Steele distributed copies of an Input/Output Matrix he developed which may be used to assess the costs of various property development plans. Tom will be working with Brian on this matter and I updatc us of thcir efforts at our ncxt meeting. Committee members were asked to gather infonnation on computer planning models that fast I developing cities may use to assist in development planning. Cristine will contact Apple Valley, Woodbury, and the League of Minnesota Cities to see if they have any material or computer models that they can share. Chuck Mertensotto will contact Hamline University to see if they have a student I worker available to assist the City to draft development plans for thc ~ property. Tom Steele provided an update on the Economic Development Committee. The &on. committee I plans to organize a breakfast meeting to show good will and establish good relations with the City's business community. 5. investment Policy Update: Terry is going to prepare an annua1 treasurers report with sugges. I on managing portfolios in hopes of simplifYing invesunent matters. Clwck S. suggested that the City adopt a more simple, low risk approach to investment decisions and stay away from mutual funds. I 6. Council Liaison Report: Paul Malone provided the following report: (I) Dan got a new job; (2) Old Snelling and County Rd F will be repaved; (3) Ramada Inn is changing hands. It will be a I Holiday Inn_ New owners plan to moderoize the building; (4) the Perry Park debate is still ongoing.

Also present were Councilmember Dale Hicks; Brian Fritsinger, City Administrator/Community Planning Coordinator; John Bergly, Consultant Planner and Ruth McLaurin, Recording Secretary. . APPROVE MINUTES . . Commissioner Nelson indicated a few changes: on page seven, last paragraph, he would like the paragraph to read: Commissioner Nelson auestioned if perhaps the site was too small to reauire an Environmental Assessment Worksheet. And on page 11, the bottom of the page, . in regards to the motion, his name and Commissioner Larson's name were erroneously switched, so the vote should read: Commissioners Piotrowski, Nelson. and Carlson voted in . favor; Commissioners Rye, Larson, and Erickson against. Commissioner also requested that on page 16 the last paragraph prior to adjournment be stricken from the record. . Sand moved, seconded by Nelson, to approve the March 1,1995 minutes as amended. All voted in favor (7-0). . CASE #95-11 MINOR SUBDIVISION. APPLICANT-CONTROL DATA SYSTEMS Mr. Bergly, Planning Consultant, briefly reviewed the application proposing to divide a 6.28 acre . tract (Parcel B) from the Main Control Data Site now containing 41.57 acres. The remaining 35.29 acre portion of the site (parcel A) contains the north part of the Control Data building as well as the DynaMark building. A separate 13.0 acre site contains the south part of the Control Data building . and is not part of this application. Mr. Bergly indicated the two items on the agenda are related, CSM is looking to develop a portion . of the present Control Data Site and will be applying for a Site Plan review. .- . - I DRAFT . I Amil Planning Minutes - Page 2 04/05/95 I Mr. Bergly stated both sites created by the proposed division exceed minimum standards for lot area and lot width. He indicated parking and open space requirements are the same as Parcel A after I division as on the total Control Data parcel before division and will be addressed for Parcel B development in the Site Plan Review. Mr. Bergly indicated the second stage development will provide a plat which includes street and park I dedication. Due to the involvement of Control Data with the Parcel A street dedication/park dedication; the division of Parcel B; and the related issues of parking and open space, a POO may be I an appropriate procedure for the second stage. Mr. Bergly presented the Planning Commission with a revised set of recommendations. I Commissioner Carlson indicated condition number seven, would it be a binding agreement and the I applicant would be bound by the park dedication. Mr. Bergly stated that was the intent of the City Attorney, to have both the applicant and the City aware of the agreement and that all conditions would be adhered to during development. I Commissioner Nelson inquired in regards to access to Cummings Park and the proposed parking lot in the second stage. Mr. Fritsinger indicated the City has in the past used Control Data parking lot . I for access to Cummings Park and now currently has a lease agreement through December 31, 1995. He noted the Parks and Recreation Department has not yet discussed options regarding access and parking for Cummings Park. I Commissioner Larson inquired if the site as part of the second stage development will meet parking and landscaping requirements. Mr. Bergly indicated although it is not identified, the requirements I will be met in the second stage also. Commissioner Larson inquired if when the applicant presents the POO, it will include all the I properties, including all of Parcel B. Mr. Bergly stated that was correct and it is the City's intent to have the POO consist of all three parties. This will create a multi-use for multiple buildings on one site. I Commissioner Larson asked, if by giving the December 31, 1995 deadline, this was giving the authority to build the second stage without requirements. Mr. Bergly indicated there were certain I issues that could not be resolved in one month, so the applicant was given a reasonable time frame for completion of the total project. He noted the City felt they could approve the first stage if they I had control over the second stage. Mr. Fritsinger, in response to previous discussion of park dedication for point of clarification, I indicated the Planning Commission does not take action on Park Dedication that is left for the City Council negotiates that aspect of the dedication. . I I I I DRAFT . Aoril Planninll: Minutes Faile 3 04/05/95 I Mr. Bill Sikora, representative ofCSM, briefly described what will be proposed and noted they would I like to begin May 1. Commissioner Larson expressed concern for the ponding proposed along Lexington A venue, he felt I there could be another more appropriate location. Mr. Sikora indicated they have researched alternate locations and still feel this location is the most appropriate. Discussion was held regarding the location of the pond, with various options explored. I Chair Erickson inquired as to the status of the application with Rice Creek Watershed District. Mr. Sikora indicated they are awaiting the Planning Commission's decision and then will make their I decision and forward it to the City Council. Commissioner Sand inquired as to when the pond is to be constructed. Mr. Sikora indicated this I would be required to be constructed by the Rice Creek Watershed District during the first stage of development. I Commissioner Larson asked if an easement was established with Control Data, could the area north of the park be used for the pond. Mr. Sikora indicated if an easement was requested, the landowners . would most likely require him to buy it. Commissioner Rye noted the pond could also benefit Control I Data. Mr. Sikora stated Control Data is not required to pond their site at this time. Commissioner Sand questioned when the second stage of construction will begin. Mr. Sikora I indicated it would depend on various issues. I Commissioner Sand asked if the landscaping is done in stage one, why is the applicant given until December 31 to finish the site plan. Mr. Bergly indicated the City felt this was reasonable time to resolve any outstanding issues. I Commissioner Sand inquired about open space.

Mr. Aiken . has agreed to the plan as identified in the letter from Mr. Stonehouse. Staff will be attempting to meet with the other two (2) property owners affected by this -. problem prior to Thusday's meeting.

Date: 20 April 1995 To: Arden Hills City Council From: Joyce Levine, Camiros I Peter Coyle, LHDL Subject: Press release contents . As we discussed Monday evening during our interview, it's essential that the City of Arden Hills break its press silence and clearly establish its position on reuse ofTCAAP. Recent events make . this an excellent and important time to act. The elements of the proposed press release should include: . . An affirmation that Arden Hills is the community to be most affected by changes on the TCAAP property. It is the City of Arden Hills that will have to live with the fiscal .. consequences of reuse and bear the brunt of whatever infrastructure improvements are needed on the site. Therefore, the City of Arden Hills should have the first say as to what takes place. Quote: "controlling our own destiny." . . A statement that it is premature for anyone to be "deciding" what use is best on the site. There are many competing interests, all of which need to be heard and evaluated in a comprehensive . manner in a single forum. . A statement that Arden Hills is already working with a number of interest groups to ensure . that their concerns and proposals receive appropriate consideration; also, that the City wants to hear from the other task forces looking into possible reuses of the site. . . An announcement that the City has retained consulting assistance to develop a workable plan for reuse and to evaluate all claims received to date relative to Arden Hills's goals and reuse . objectives; also, that the City is very excited by the prospect and wants to make sure a plan is developed that will make the TCAAP site a community asset for decades to come. I Assuming we receive your authorization to proceed, we will develop the text of the press release by noon tomorrow (Friday) for placement in the major regional newspapers on Sunday, if possible (or earliest publication date following). We will also pursue rapid placements in local weekly . newspapers. .e .

I A!WEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - Amil10. 1995 9 I Mr. Price indicated ifthe Council votes in favor of an EA W, the Council would be doing it on the basis of a Discretionary EA W and then in order for the Council to do that, the Council would have I to fmd evidence that there was a significant environmental impact to the site. Mr. Price stated the analysis and study done by the Rice Creek Watershed District will answer most I questions for which an EA W would provide answers. Mr. Price indicated the burden of proof upon the petitioners is more than just finding water and I wildlife on the site. Mr. Price indicated he had spoken with the Environmental Quality Board that only lout 5 of I petitions are granted. Mr. A. W. Chaney, 1732 Venus Avenue, indicated he has been watching wildlife in the area for I 30 years and has seen wild turkeys. He indicated that the wildlife he has seen have traveled from east to west at dawn and west to east at dusk, therefore this area is a corridor and would be cut off I- if the development proceeded. Mr. Jim Summerfield, 1710 Glenview Avenue, indicated a few reasons for requesting an EA W. First timing, it has been less than 60 days since a letter of petition has been submitted. Secondly, I it is in the best interest of the City. I Mr. Summerfeld also indicated in reference to Commissioner Rye's statement that as a property owner, the developer has a right to develop the land as he/she sees fit. He agreed with the Commissioner's statement, but at the same time questioned if the individual interest is in the best I interest of the community. He felt this development would be done at the community's expense. Mr. Summerfeld expressed concern that it would not be good policy for the City to ignore the desires I of the community. Mr. Price indicated that Mr. Ogren has complied with all that has been required for the application I for PUD. Mr. Ogren has been considerate of the environment and his goal is to have a first class development. Mr. Price felt the 60-90 day delay would be unfair to Mr. Ogren and is only a stall measure. Mr. Price noted all the information that is being requested in an EA W, has already been I provided. I Mr. Price indicated that he has no record that the City has an ordinance that authorizes the City Council to pass on the expense of an EA W onto the developer. Ie Mr. Casey indicated there was a misquote of the law, it states mav have potential for environmental im,pact, MN Rule 4410.21000. I ---------- I ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - Amil 10. 1995 10 .. I Mr. Casey indicated that the preliminary report of the Rice Creek Watershed District is mute if the . Environmental Policy Act is followed, noting there may be a potential for significant environmental impact. Mr. Casey felt the gaps in information needed, would be provided by an EA W. . Mr. Price requested the petitioners to show impact. . Mayor Probst indicated the Council Chambers was not a Court of Law, and requested any additional statements be in regard to new information relevant to this case. He indicated the City Council is . present to review information and determine if an EA W is to be ordered.. He then invited the audience to make any additional comments at this time. . Mr. Bob Mullin, 1793 Gramsie Road, believed that the impact should not only be on environment, but on pure space. . Mr. Shrankler indicated the Rice Creek Watershed District will not make its final findings until May 4, and after the decision of an EA W has been determined. He noted the assessment was not only an -. environmental assessment, but also a soil assessment. Mr. Dan Ogren, 466 Old Farm Road, indicated he is not in favor of an EA W, because a wetland I has not yet been identified on the northeast corner. Mr. Ogren also indicated he believed that the cost of the EA W should not be imposed on the . developer. Mr. Ogren indicated he did not sign an application with the understanding of ordering an EA W. Mr. Ogren indicated the delay will not prevent him from developing the land, either with townhomes . or single family detached homes. Mr. Ogren indicated he would pursue the development until it is . done. Ms. Angela Hames, 1839 Venus Avenue, inquired as to the cost of an EA W. Mr. Fritsinger I indicated the cost could range from hundreds to thousands of dollars. Ms. Hames indicated she understands business issues, but with the admitted dedication to the . environment of Mr. Ogren, would not the money be well spent particularly if he desires the best possible project available. Ms. Canniff indicated the desires of the whole community needs to be considered. She noted the I flooding in the Red River Valley, and expressed concern that similar problems will occur in this .. area. She expressed concern that the oaks would be destroyed during development. . . .. . ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - Ami] 1 O. 1995 1) . Ms. Canniff felt the housing would be substandard due to no basements. . Ms. Canniff commented that Mr. Ogren is not a resident of Arden Hills and the desires of residents should come first. Ms. Canniff indicated the Council is elected by Arden Hills' residents to do what the residents want them to do. . Mr, Roger Moberg, 1308 Cannon, indicated he is in favor of the development. He indicated he is a former Planning Commission member and feels the development is very good, and would like . to move into the development. Ms. Ann-Marie Hoelscher, 1750 Gramsie Road, appealed to the City Council to order an EA W . if there is concern regarding a wetland in the northeast corner as admitted by Mr. Ogren. She noted once a development is there, there is no turning back and if information is obtained before construction, adjustments can be made. . Mr. Eugene Schmidt, 1628 Chatham Avenue, indicated similar concerns were presented before .- the Chatham Addition was developed in 1976. He indicated the wildlife has not moved out of Chatham. . Mr. Schmidt indicated he also has elected the City official to serve and follow the laws and regulations of the community. . Mr. Schmidt expressed concern regarding what was written in the Saint Paul Pioneer Press, "I think it is not really a necessary thing, she said of the study, but we're going to vote in favor of it because the neighborhood has organized." He indicated because of the quote, if it is a true quote, he believes . the Council is not doing the job it has been charged with. Mr. Aiken indicated he would like to add to the record a letter drafted by himself and his wife . regarding the request for an EA W, and their support for ordering one. He also indicated a petition signed by various residents. . Mr. Aiken indicated the process can clearly define litigation and also assign responsibility. He believed the EA W is a vital part of the process. . Mr. Aiken indicated once a project is underway and a conditional use permit or planning stipulations are included in a project, the City of Arden Hills does not have adequate resources or personnel for . proper oversight. Citizen involvement and oversight is necessary to protect the interests of the City. He believes, therefore, it is imperative that in any project of this magnitude the facts and special .- circumstances are understood by everyone. Mr. Steve Hurst, 3779 McCracken Lane, indicated the developer promised he would not go away. Mr. Hurst noted an EA W will help assess the site if single family detached homes go in also. . ---- ------------ . ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - Amil lO J 995 .. 12 . Ms. Hilda Reynolds, 1645 G1enview Court, indicated there would be water and sewer problems, . especially if there is heavy rain. She indicated the citizens will be paying for any clean up. Mr. Jean Mootz, 1767 Glenview, indicated that in the past they have had a flower garden on the . comer and his family uses the nature trail. He indicated neighborhood meetings have been used to help resolve issues and perhaps this would be a good idea. Ms. Fran Holmes, 1804 Venus Avenue, indicated she was reading from the EA W Guidelines, on . Page Four and the costs stated are relatively small. Ms. Britt Lundgren, 1777 Gramsie Road, indicated she likes the area because it is similar to a . "diamond in the rough" in which the country becomes available, in a city setting. She indicated she . would hate to see this destroyed. Mayor Probst hearing no further testimony, indicated the Council needs to take action on the issue. . Councilmember Malone indicated there is equal reasoning for each side. He indicated he could recognize the cause for an EA W, but not if the information is already available. -. Councilmember Malone indicated he would like a further definition of requirements. Councilmember Aplikowski indicated she is a developer and feels that her developments which have . no basements are not substandard as suggested by reprentatives of the neighborhood. Councilmember Ap1ikowski indicated the article in the Pioneer Press did not clarify that she was . speaking only for herself and not any other members of the Council. She indicated the citizens of Arden Hills voted for her with the confidence that she would make wise decisions. . Counci1member Aplikowski indicated she came to the meeting prepared to vote in favor of an EA W, . because it will provide necessary information. Counci1member Hicks inquired for clarification as to who makes a negative declaration once the . EA W results are in. Mr. Miller indicated the Environmental Quality Board, after a 30 day question and answer period, will make that declaration. Mayor Probst indicated the results of the EAW will effectively find the impact and whether a full . Environmental Impact Study will be necessary. Mayor Probst indicated he would favor ordering an EA W, based on the impact of the flow of water . on the site. -. . . .. . ARDEN HILLS CIIY COUNCIL - Aoril1 0, 1995 13 . Mayor Probst indicated Mr. Ogren is intending to develope the site, has every right to do so, and will ultimately have a proposal in front of the CounciL He indicated that if the current proposal is turned . down, Mr. Ogren will return with another proposal and the EA W information will be beneficial in the future as well. . MOTION: Hicks moved and Aplikowski seconded a motion to approve the ordering of an Environmental Assessment Worksheet, based on the finding that there is a flow change into a protected wetland and possible changes to the cross section. . Councilmember Malone inquired if an outside party would do the EA W. Mr. Fritsinger indicated a consultant neutral to the issue would be sought to prepare the EA W. . Mayor Probst indicated that the current proposal would still need to be modified regarding other issues of encroachment. He indicated he would like to see a revised plan before approving the PUD. . Counci1member Hicks indicated it is the intent of the City for the cost of an EA W to be absorbed .- by the developer. Counci1member Keirn commented due to the environmental impact of the flow into Valentine Lake . she would support ordering an EA W. The motion passed unanimously (5-0). . Adopt Resolution #95-25. suppurtin~ Cooperative Trail Grant Application. . Parks and Recreation Director Cindy Walsh indicated the proposed resolution is in support for an application to the Cooperative Trail Grants Program for the development of the eight foot wide . bituminous trail segment from T.R 96 south to Briarknoll Drive on an existing City trail easement. Ms. Walsh indicated this trail area will be improved regardless ofthe receipt of these funds but this grant would help fund the improvement. .

Mr. Stonehouse indicated the City received bids for the project on March 30, 1995. He indicated . he recommended acceptance of all four bids and to award the bid to Midwest Asphalt, Inc. upon . approval of plans by MnDOT, completion of the assessment hearing, and final resolution of trail and street width issues; He also indicated all conditions and transactions as noted should be subject to review and input by the City Attorney. . Mr. Fritsinger indicated staffhas been working with the neighborhood and presented a few changes. Mr. Stonehouse indicated, from what he had reviewed, the changes would reduce the cost of the . project, but have no actual effect on the assessments. Counci1member Aplikowski inquired if the sidewalk would be removed. Mr. Fritsinger indicated -. it had not yet been agreed to. Councilmember Aplikowski was not in favor of sidewalks. Counci1member Ap1ikowski inquired if parking on the street was a concern for neighbors. Mr. . Stonehouse indicated the road would be wide enough, but there was concern regarding traffic if parking is allowed. Mayor Probst indicated based on comments from residents, the concern for the walkway was in . regards to impact on their properties. . Councilmember Malone indicated in the past, if there was a walkway people will use them, but he expressed mixed feelings regarding the walkway. He indicated perhaps an easement compromise . would help. Councilmember Malone indicated a parking ban on the street would be okay. He indicated the speed . limit would most likely remain the same. MOTION: Keirn moved and Malone seconded a motion to adopt Resolution #95-28, . Determining Assessed Cost ofImprovement and Ordering Preparation of Proposed Assessment Roll in the Matter of County Road F Street Improvements of 1995. Mr. Craig Wilson inquired as to why if the project costs were reduced, the assessment did not go . down.

CITY OF ARDEN HILLS MEMORANDUM . . DATE: April 14, 1995 TO: Brian Fritsinger, City Administratur J . FROM: Cindy Walsh, Parks & Recreation Director c? . RE: Park Property on Old Snelling Ave. at Ridgewoud Rd. & Lindey's Triangle . Background . At the City Council's request Attorney Filla has researched the City park properties known as Lindy's Triangle and the parcel of property between Old Snelling and Ridgewood Rd. He has sent the City Abstracts of Title for these properties. . Prunertv Limitatiuns Old Snelling and Ridgewood Rd. Prupertv Attorney Filla believes the fee title to this property was in the name of John J. Kenna, Jr. It .- appears to have two limitations: 1. The entire area is subject to a roadway easement in favor of the City of Arden Hills. . 2. The fee owner used this area to fulfill the City's park dedication requirements even though this does not appear on the Abstract of Title. . Lindy's Park Again, Attorney Filla believes that the fee title to this area was in the name of John J. Kenna, Jr., . subject to the two following limitations: 1. The City of Arden Hills condemned the right use of this parcel as a public park and open . space. The City has the right to use this property for a park; however, the fee owner is John J. Kenna, Jr. . 2. The portion of the southwest comer (100 ft.) is still subject to a Ramsey County road easement if the City chooses to vacate the area for park purposes. . Conclusion Attorney Filla concludes that the City of Arden Hills does not have the right to convey either parcels of property for development purposes. I have attached a copy of Attorney Filla's report. . .e . ----- --------- I . . \V,uren E. Peter:;on PETERSON Suite HlO 1.l..'rom~ I?FiJla . "n E_i~t Filth Stree!

Lindy Park Our File No.: 10450/950002 . Brian: At the City's request, I have examined title to the following . described parcels situated in Arden Hills, Minnesota: 1. All that part of Government Lot 1, Section 34, Township _. 30 North, Range 23 West, which lies Southerly of a line 288.99 feet South of and parallel to the North line of said Section 34; Southwesterly of a line parallel to and . distant 100 feet Southwesterly of the center line of State Trunk Highway No. 51; and Easterly of the following described line: Commencing at a point on the North line of said Section 34, distant 967.17 East of the Northwest . corner of said Section 34, said point being the center line of said State Trunk Highway No. 51, thence West (assumed bearing) 300.98 feet along said North line of .

The title to Kenna Park was examined by means of an Abstract I of Title consisting of entries 1 through 145 last certified on the 3rd day of March, 1995, at 8:00 o'clock a.m. by the Old Republic National Title Insurance Company. Assuming said Abstract of Title .. and the conditions thereof to be true, correct, and complete, I am of the opinion that on said last mentioned date, fee title to Kenna Park was in the name of John J. Kenna, Jr., subject to the following limitations: . 1- The entire area of Kenna Park is subject to a roadway easement in favor of the City of Arden Hills (see . Abstract Entry Nos. 136 and 138). 2. Al though this information does not appear on the Abstract of Title, when the City of Arden Hills approved the plat . of Kenna Addition, the fee owner utilized the area of Kenna Park to satisfy the City's park dedication l- requirement. Therefore, the area of Kenna Park has also I been dedicated for park purposes even though this entry does not appear of record or as part of the plat of Kenna Addition. I The title to Lindy Park was examined by means of an Abstract of Title consisting of entries 1-142 last certified on the 3rd day of March, 1995, at 8:00 o'cLOCK a.m. by the Old Republic National . Title Insurance Company. Assuming said Abstract of Title and the conditions thereof to be true, correct, and complete, I am of the opinion that the fee title to Lindy Park on said last mentioned . date was in the name of John J. Kenna, Jr., subject to the following limitations: .- . . .. > I Brian Fritsinger .- April 10, 1995 Page 3 I 1- The City of Arden Bills condemned the right to use Lindy I Park as a public park and open space. (See Abstract Entries 139 and 141) . The recorded documents do not indicate that the City acquired fee title but only the I right to use this property for park and open space purposes therefore the underlying fee owner continues to be John J. Kenna, Jr. 2. The Southwesterly 100 feet of Lindy Park is still subject I to a road easement in favor of Ramsey County should the City ever decide to vacate its use for park purposes. I The City of Arden Bills does not have the right to convey either Kenna Park or Lindy Park for development purposes. If you have any questions, please contact me. I Very truly yours, ;(~ . .

According to the 1990 census, 13 percent . of households in Mounds View and New Brighton earned less than $15,000 per year. Close to half of all rental households in these communities paid more than 25 percent of their income for rent.

The group includes clergy, busi- ness people, environmentalists, union activists, low-income I people and middle income homeowners. Organizations partic- ipating include the Operating Engineers Union, Local 70; Clean Water Action Alliancc; the Machinists Union; Northeast . Metro Coalition for Affordable Housing, and All Parks Alliance for Change, an association of mobile home residents.
