I MEMORANDUM
I DATE: July 3, 1995
I TO: Mayor and City Council
Brian Fritsinger, Administrato@
FROM:
. SUBJECT: 1995 Union Contract Negotiations
I The current contract between the City of Arden Hills and Local 49 expires on 12-31-95. The l' .
Union has approached the City about a possible two year extension to the current agreement.
I The purpose of this Closed Meeting is for the Council to discuss the options available in
I undertaking these negotiations. Some of the issues to consider are:
1. Union Request - 3 and 3.5% increase on two year extension.
Ie 2. Average Increase in Other Cities - 2.8%
3. 1996 Budget - Council has asked Staff to consider two budget increase
scenarios for 1996. (0% and 3.5%)
. 4. Pay Equity - Attached is current 1995 Pay Plan. The Union is at the
maximum of Step 6 in the current range. (99.14%)
5. Negotiations - Should negotations be limited to a contract extension or should
I the full contract be open for negotiation? There are a number of non-
wage items the Council may wish to consider within the Agreement.
Those Articles identified by Staff are:
I A. 6.8 - Overtime
D. 8.1 - Work Schedules
I C. 8.3 - Break
D. 9.2 - Overtime
. F. 9.3 and 9.5 - Compensation Time
G. 10.2 and 10.3 - Call Back
H. 24.1 and 24.2 - Cleaning Allowance
. 1. 24.3 - Charges
1. 24.4 - Carry Over
K. 25.2 - Reimbursement Rate
. L. 26.1 through 26.3 - Injury on Duty
.-

6. As part of the 1995 Pay Equity process, the Council recognized the need to
work towards a more linear regression line. To date the only progress
made in this area was to hold 1995 raises for all employees currently I
within step 6 to a 1.5% increase. This was done to start building in
some flexibility if the ranges need to be adjusted downward later to
develop this linear line. TIlls line may impact the percentage increase I
considered for the Union.
7. If any of the Council need copies of the current Union contract please let me I
know and I will have copies available at the Meeting.

- "FROM:
I SUBJECT: Everest Development Agreement Negotiations
I i "
With the July 15, 1995 City imposed deadline fast approaching, Staffhas continued to work
I with Everest on the preparation of a Development Agreement for the GBD. I wanted to
briefly review several issues with the City Council prior to our next Meeting with Everest,
Additional discussions will be held on July"5 with Everest, so the Council should expect
I more detailed information from Staff at the Worksession Meeting.
Some of the items for Council consideration are:
I- I. Project timing' - Staff has attempted to place time-lines on this project and it is
estimated that due to the size of the undertaking, Environment Impact Statement
I requirements and potential condemation proceedings development will most likely
occur no earlier than late 1997.
I 2. Acouisition by Eminent Domain (Condemnation) - This area continues to be the
most difficult to develop language which protects the City. The complexity of using
I condenmation not only has the potential to extend the start of construction, it is the
area most likely to increase the cost of the project. The developer has stated they will
guarantee all condenmation rulings. Staff has suggested the developer be required
I to have control of 75% of the parcels/square footage before condenmation
proceedings begin and 150% of the appraised value be deposited with the City.
, Exclusivitv- There are three (3) areas of exclusivity identified by Everest which have
I ~.
not yet been addressed as part of the negotiations:
I -" .. ",. -A. Use ofTIF in City.
-
"
~.-", B. Development ofIndykavitz property. ..::.

---------.- -- --- ----------
I

.
4. Letter of Credit - The Letter of Credit is critical to the project as it protects the City .~
from incurring any significant cost should the project go bad. The developer is
looking to minimize this while staff is trying to get 100% of costs. .
5. Design Framework. Everest has suggested thisstreamIining of the planning review
process. The Planning Commission has not yet reviewed this concept, but briefly the .
framework eliminates the Commission from project review and in it place creates a
committee to respond to development,
6. ~ Everest is looking to amend the zoning characteristics of this district. These t.
changes are very similar to those reviewed by the Council almost I year ago.
7. Corporate Site - The developer is expected to make a request that this site not be I
included in the up front acquisition efforts and the City purchase this later in the
project. Staff is opposed to this approach. .
8. City Land Acquisition - The acquisition of City land up front, over time or the costs
have yet to be negotiated. -.

:. CITY OF ARDEN IDLLS
MEMORANDUM
I DATE: July 3, 1995
1 TO: Mayor and City Council ~
Brian Fritsinger, Administrat Br
FROM:
I SUBJECT: Re-Codification of Municipal Code, Chapters 1 and 2
1 j ~
Attached the Council will fmd Chapters 1 and 2 of the Arden Hills Municipal Code. The
I City originally began re-codification last year but due to a number of issues, little has been
discussed beyond the original draft being prepared by the League of Minnesota Cities. Once
our new Public Works Superintendent is on Staff, I will have more time available to review
I the Code and will provide the Council with more input on the various code items.
In reviewing these document I would ask the Council to keep in mind the following:
II 1. Any shaded areas are new language recommended by the Attorney.
2. Any areas crossed out are proposed to be stricken from the Code.
I (Other parts have been removed but not shown).
~ Occasionally, the Attorney will pose a question to the City which will
J.
be bolded at the end of any section.
I 4. Any new ordinances or regulations being contemplated by the Council
should be discussed during the appropriate chapter.
5. Several chapters or sections have changed location within the Code
1 itself.
I I will also provide some general comments to be considered by the City Council for each
chapter. With twenty-eight chapters to review, I anticipate including several chapters for
discussion at all future 1995 Worksession Meetings.
I Chapter 1
I 1. Does the Council desire to change the term Clerk-Administrator to City
Administrator? (Based on discussions with previous Administrator).
2. Definitions need to correspond to definitions in Zoning Ordinance and
I Subdivision Ordinance.
3. Section 120,03. subd 1 - Increase in fine to $700?
.1 4. Section 120.03. subd 2 - Increase in fme to $200?
I
I
2 .:
Chapter 2
Section 210.01 - Needs revision to current salary of $2900 and $3600.
Section 220.03 - I believe the Council by Resolution made this an Advisory I
Committee,
Section 220,05 - New Chapter on Fire Department. Council should discuss the I
procedures included in this chapter and have it reviewed by Lake Johanna I
for the appropriateness of the language.
Section 230 - I assume the Civil Defense Advisory Committe and/or Civil Defense J I
Agency is the Public Safety/Works Committee? Is this chapter a critical
elementto the Code in 1995.
Section 230.08 - Civil Defense Direction is the Public Works Superintendent? I
Section 240 - Needs Table of Contents if it is to be adopted as a policy. This portion I
. of the code should be adopted by Resolution rather than Ordinance to provide
flexibility . II
Section 240.06 - Delete age requirements due to State Law.
Section 240.07 - Need to add a definition of sexual harrassment. (Also strengthen I
policy).
Section 240,08 - May consider additional defInitions as follows: overtime, I
compensatory time, exempt/non-exempt, posting, work day, work week,
reclassifIcation, comparable worth, certifIed bargaining unit, veteran, position I
classification plan.
Section 240.09 - These clearly place hiring responsibility with the City Council, not I
the Administrator. Does the Council wish to amend this or change definition
of appointment?
Section 240.10 - Subd 3. Does the Council still desire all recommendations be made .
to Council for final action?
Section 240.12 - Needs review in areas of overtime pay, workday, week, etc......... I
Section 240.16 - Council may wish to consider "personal" days rather than sick and I
vacation?
Section 240.23 - Add Family/Medical Leave from recent Federal laws. I.

I SUBJECT: Highway 96 TaskForce Update
Back!!round
I The task force has been meeting twice a month to identifY and discuss issues dealing with the
reconsUuction of Highway 96. Ramsey County has selected BR W, Inc. as the consultants on this
project A copy of the Task Force goals are attached.
I Identified Arden Hills IssufS
I The following issues have been identified as concerns within Arden Hills along Highw.iy 96:
1. 1- 35W lnte=tion
2. 1- 35W Enny/Gateway
.- 3. Round Lake Road
4. Wetland South ofTII 96 at Round Lake
5. Views of Round Lake

8. Signiiicant Vegel3tion
I 9. Single-Family Residential Uses.
10. Multiple Access Points
11. Existing City Hall
I 12. Wetlands West of Lexington Avenue
13. Lexington Avenue lnteJsection
14. Location of Regional T rnil- South Side
I The attached information provides more details regarding these issues.
, If 1here are additional issues that are oot listed above, please let me know. I will pass the concerns along to
Ramsey County and BRW, Inc. at the next Task Force meeting.
I Task Force Schedule
J<&unsey County intends to submit a recommended plan to each City Council member in Septanber. The
I Council will then have an CJWOI'lUI1itY to review the plan and offer any suggestions or changes. The final
concept report will be adopted in December.
I- Until recently, 1he task furce has spent a great deal of time discussing the need for a tOur lane road, as well
I

., .1
as other issues which are not the suqject of this task.fOrce. My reeling is 1hat Ramsey County ha<; finally .1
begin to discuss a four lane highway throughout all cities. The laOOscape plan and median width may I
change as the highway passes through various cities, but the number oflanes will not
City CQ$ls I
Ramsey County is proIXJSing to change Hwy % rom a rural highway to an wban highway with the
addition of curb and gutter. This would be done with Ramsey County gas tax money. Owing the
reconstruction, the City costs will include some landscaping tees, ]lOSSlble street lighting (if the City I
chooses to have lights), and ongoing maintenance of the landscaping. Any additional traffic signals will
probably cost the City 50"10 of the cost At this time, it seems 1hat all other costs will be bome by Ramsey ,
County. The trnil will hopefully be Federal or State funded.
Council Input Needed ,
The Council should identifY possible access and curb cut points along the Arden Hills section of the road.
These may be the same as we currently have or they could change if needed.
As I previously mentioned, the median width and landscape may vary rom city to city. It is my I
1.Illdetstandin 1hat these areas would be partially funded and mainrained by the individual cities. Ramsey
County will probably suggest a number of alternatives; however, Arden Hills can give input now and I
during the final decision making process.
I can bring any comments and suggestions to Ramsey County at our next Task Force meeting on .,
July 17th.

FROM:
I
SUBJECT: Aiken Drainage
, i .
Attached the Council will fmd additional inforntation from Engineer Stonehouse addressing
, the drainage problems on Amble Road. Mr. Stonehouse has provided information on two
options available to the City to correct this problem.
I 1 had asked Mr. Stonehouse to take a closer look at the regrading option. On a site
inspection, I was concerned the elevations were not present to adequately drain the pond
around the home. Mr. Stonehouse has confIrmed that it is possible to utilize the drainage
I- easement and drain it around the property to the East.
We also discussed a more long term solution. This consisted of the installation of a new
I outlet and pipe at a cost of $17,000 to $22,000. While this solution should correct the
problem, it is significantly more expensive than regrading and resodding. If the Council
should desire, SWM funds could be used to fund this project.
I 1 will be attempting to meet with the three (3) property owners involved in this project prior
to Thursday's meeting. Unless some major items of concern are expressed by the property
I owners, I will recommend to the Council that the easement be required to correct the
problem.

RE: AIKEN DRAINAGE ISSUE
Dear Mr. Fritsinger: i I
This letter is submitted to further address the referenced issue as discussed at our meeting I
on-site on Thursday, June 15, 1995. As indicated in our previous letter, it still appears that
the City could rectify the problem by having the drainage easement graded along the back
lot lines of parcels A and B immediately south of Amble Road. This should be done in I
accordance with the Developer's original grading plan, if possible, at the Developer's
GVll ENGINEERI"" expense. We would also recommend the City allow Mr. Aiken to place up to 40 cubic
ENVIRONMENTAL yards of fill behind the existing pond easement, up to the 976 elevation. This would allow . I
MUNICIPAL the pond to drain to the east prior to the pond encroaching on the Aiken property. It may
PlANNING be beneficial for the City to utilize its own Public Works staff to complete the placement
SOUD WASTE of fill on Mr. Aiken's property to reduce the costs of such work. ,
STRUCTURAl
SURVEYING An additional item of note is the more long-term solution to the situation. This consists of
TRAFFIC the installation of a 15-inch storm sewer outlet from the pond to the wetland area north of I
TRANSIORTATIQN Amble Road and east of the site. The estimated cost of this installation is approximately
EIKTRICAI/MECHANICAI $17,000 to $22,000 including street, driveway, and boulevard restoration that would be ,

I
Dear Mr. Berger:
I As we discussed on the phone recently I have had an opporrunity to discuss your issues
with the City Attorney. I have aiso artached copies of the Building Permit issued at the
I time of your home's constrUction in [979.
Our City Attorney has indicated the City does not have the responsiblity nor does it
I- guarantee that ail contractors build every home within the City of Arden Hills exactly as
required by all awlicable building codes. The City does not require nor can it be
expected to require an inspector on the job at all times during the period of constrUction.
I The City's duty to pertorm inspections is owed to the public in general rather than to
individual property owners. I would contend that the City is not negligent on its duties to
I conduct the insoections on your home. The Building Permit explicitly states ail laws and
ordinances governing this type of work will be complied with whether specified herein or
I not. Your concerns would appear to be more appropriately directed to the person from
whorn you purchased the home or the contIaClor.
I After reviewing your letter and concerns with our City Attorney and building officials, I
feel confident the City is not liable or negligent in its duties. Should you have additional
questions. please call.

I
Dear Mr. F ritsinger: I
As we discussed over the telephone last January, I would like an opinion from the Arden
Hills City Attorney as to the City's responsibility to it's citizens to assure that houses
constructed in the City of Arden Hills meet all applicable state and city building codes at I
the time of construction.
My current residence was built for James A. and Christine Nichols by Bancon Inc. in e.
1979. We purchased our home from the Estate ofJames A. Nichols in August of 1993.
About 10 months after moving in, when repairing what appeared to be a thin settling crack
in the sheetrock of a bedroom, I noticed a slight musty odor. Well, one thing lead to ,
another, and I discovered considerable structural damage to the frame of my house caused
by years of moisture damage through the stucco siding. All this damage was the result of
my house being built without a weather resistant barrier installed under the stucco siding. I
I spoke with Fred Driver who is a Building Code Representative with the State of
Minnesota Building Code Division. Mr. Driver stated that Minnesota State Building Code I
in effect when my house was built, required "two layers of type 15 felt be installed as a
weather resistant barrier under metal lath to separate it from wood based sheeting".
Metal lath is used as the base for stucco siding. Therefore my house was built by Bancon I
Inc. and approved for occupancy by the Arden Hills Building Inspector, with a material
defect in violation of Minnesota State Building Code. Mr. Driver also stated that this part
of the code is mandatory and did not need to be adopted by the City. ,
I
I
-,
,
I
I~ -.
Ie What is the responsibility of the City of Arden Hills to cover the loss I have experienced as
a result of the negligence of their Building Inspector to'inspect my property and enforce
applicable state and city building codes?
I Mine is not an isolated instance. I am aware of two other stucco homes in Arden Hills
that have the same problem. When my neighbor William Bauer at 1618 Chatham Avenue,
who has a home almost identical to mine, also constructed by Bancon Inc., discovered the
I same problem years earlier, he notified the City of Arden Hills. Did the City of Arden
Hills have a responsibility to notify other homeowners of this problem with similar homes
and siding built by Bancon Inc. ?
I I can be reached at home 631-0778 or the office 830-3771.

I FROM:
SUBJECT: Aiken Drainage
I
Attached the Council will find additional information from Engineer Stonehouse addressing
I the drainage problems on Amble Road. Mr. Stonehouse has provided information on two
options available to the City to correct this problem.
I I had asked Mr. Stonehouse to take a closer look at the regrading option. On a site
inspection, I was concerned the elevations were not present to adequately drain tlte pond
I- around the home. Mr. Stonehouse has confirmed that it is possible to utilize the drainage
easement and drain it around the property to tlte East.
I We also discussed a more long term solution. This consisted of the installation of a new
outlet and pipe at a cost of $17,000 to $22,000. While this solution should correct the
problem, it is significantly more expensive than regrading and resodding. If the Council
I should desire, SWM funds could be used to fund this project.
I will be attempting to meet with the three (3) property owners involved in this project prior
I to Thursday's meeting. Unless some major items of concern are expressed by the property
owners, I will recommend to the Council that the easement be required to correct the
problem.

RE: AIKEN DRAINAGE ISSUE
I Dear Mr. Fritsinger:
I This letter is submitted to further address the referenced issue as discussed at our meeting
on-site on Thursday, June 15, 1995. As indicated in our previous letter, it still appears that
the City could rectify the problem by having the drainage easement graded along the back
I lot lines of parcels A and B immediately south of Amble Road. This should be done in
accordance with the Developer's original grading plan, if possible, at the Developer's
CIVil ENGINEERIN&. expense. We would also recommend the City allow Mr. Aiken to place up to 40 cubic
I .VIRONMENTAI yards of fill behind the existing pond easement, up to the 976 elevation. This would allow
NICIPAl the pond to drain to the east prior to the pond encroaching on the Aiken property. It may
PlANNING be beneficial for the City to utilize its own Public Works staff to complete the placement
I SOLID WASTE of fill on Mr. Aiken's property to reduce the costs of such work.
STRUCTURAl
SURVEYING An additional item of note is the more long-term solution to the situation. This consists of
I TRAFFIC the installation of a l5-inch storm sewer outlet from the pond to the wetland area north of
TRANSPORTATION Amble Road and east of the site. The estimated cost of this installation is approximately
I ElECTRICAl! MECHANICAl $17,000 to $22,000 including street, driveway, and boulevard restoration that would be
ENGINEERING necessary.

I MEMORANDUM
I DATE: July 3, 1995
I TO: Mayor and City Council ~
Brian Fritsinger, Administrat ~.
I FROM:
SUBJECT: Re-Codification of Municipal Code, Chapters 1 and 2
I
Attached the Council will find Chapters 1 and 2 of the Arden Hills Municipal Code. The
I City originally began re-codification last year but due to a number of issues, little has been
discussed beyond the original draft being prepared by the League of Minnesota Cities. Once
our new Public Works Superintendent is on Staff, I will have more time available to review
. the Code and will provide the Council with more input on the various code items.
.e In reviewing these document I would ask the Council to keep in mind the following:
1. Any shaded areas are new language recommended by the Attorney.
2. Any areas crossed out are proposed to be stricken from the Code.
. (Other parts have been removed but not shown).
3. Occasionally, the Attorney will pose a question to the City which will
I be bolded at the end of any section.
4. Any new ordinances or regulations being contemplated by the Council
should be discussed during the appropriate chapter.
I 5. Several chapters or sections have changed location within the Code
itself.
. 1 will also provide some general comments to be considered by the City Council for each
chapter. With twenty-eight chapters to review, I anticipate including several chapters for
discussion at all future 1995 Worksession Meetings.
I Chapter 1
I 1. Does the Council desire to change the term Clerk-Administrator to City
Administrator? (Based on discussions with previous Administrator).
I 2. Definitions need to correspond to definitions in Zoning Ordinance and
Subdivision Ordinance.
I- 3. Section 120.03. subd 1 - Increase in fine to $700?
4. Section 120.03. subd 2 - Increase in fine to $200?
I
I
I
I- 2
Chapter 2
Section 210.01 - Needs revision to current salary of$2900 and $3600.
, Section 220.03 - I believe the Council by Resolution made this an Advisory
Committee.
I Section 220.05 - New Chapter on Fire Department. Council should discuss the
I procedures included in this chapter and have it reviewed by Lake Johanna
for the appropriateness of the language.
I Section 230 -1 assume the Civil Defense Advisory Committe and/or Civil Defense
Agency is the Public Safety/Works Committee? Is this chapter a critical
element to the Code in 1995.
I Section 230.08 - Civil Defense Direction is the Public Works Superintendent?
I Section 240 - Needs Table of Contents ifit is to be adopted as a policy. This portion
of the code should be adopted by Resolution rather than Ordinance to provide
flexibility.
.- Section 240.06 - Delete age requirements due to State Law.
I Section 240.07 - Need to add a definition of sexual harrassment. (Also strengthen
policy).
I Section 240.08 - May consider additional definitions as follows: overtime,
compensatory time, exempt/non-exempt, posting, work day, work week,
I reclassification, comparable worth, certified bargaining unit, veteran, position
classification plan.
, Section 240.09 - These clearly place hiring responsibility with the City Council, not
the Administrator. Does the Council wish to amend this or change definition
of appointment?
I Section 240.10 - Subd 3. Does the Council still desire all recommendations be made
to Council for final action?
I Section 240.12 - Needs review in areas of overtime pay, workday, week, etc.........
I Section 240.16 - Council may wish to consider "personal" days rather than sick and
vacation?
,- Section 240.23 - Add FamilylMedical Leave from recent Federal laws.

I MEMORANDUM
I DATE: July 5, 1995
TO: Arden Hills Planuing Commission
I FROM: John Bergly, Planuing Consultant
Sanders Wacker Wehrman Bergly, Inc.
I SUBJECT: Case #95-16, Prelintinary Plat on Lots 25 and 26, Block 3, Rohleder's Home and
Garden Acres
I Applicant - Ron Balfany - Balfany Development Company
I 5500 France Avenue North
Brooklyn Center, MN
I ReQuest
The Applicant requests approval of a five lot Prelintinary Plat containing 4.63 acres and located in
I- an R-2 District.
Backeround
I 1. In September, 1993, the Applicant submitted a six lot PUD Concept Plan for review by the
City staff The staff recommendation was to reduce the number oflots to three or four, and
I to use the required 60 foot radius cul-de-sac.
2. In September, 1994, again a six lot PUD was submitted for staff review. Staff recommended
I reducing the number lots to five or preferably four.
3. In November, 1994, (Case 94-21), the Planning Commission reviewed an application for a
I six lot PUD with virtually the same reaction as noted in the September, 1993 and 1994 staff
memos.
I PROPOSAL
I 1. The Applicant is now proposing to .reduce the number oflots to five but is still requesting a
50 foot radius cul-de-sac and an easement around the cul-de-sac to compensate for the
smaller cul-de-sac in providing space for utilities. The effect of this proposal is to reduce the
I front yard setback of the homes by 10 feet without a setback variance.
I- I
I
------------- --~ ---------------
~ ,
.
2. The site is heavily wooded with many large oaks and other hardwood trees. It slopes down .1
to the north and east from the existing street frontage in the SW comer. Although the I
sanitary sewer in Thom Drive is 10 feet down below the surface, it cannot adequately serve
more than a small portion of the upland area in the SW corner of the property due to the
sloping site. Individual sewer ejector pumps may be required on some of the lots if the tract ,
were to be developed with homes at the normal setback from a normal-sized cul-de-sac.
~ The application is for platting both lots 25 and 26. It should be noted the lot 25 has been I
~.
previously redivided into two lots, and that the westerly of the lots is partially used in this plat
to allow Lot 5 to meet area and lot width requirements. The northerly 10 feet of this lot is ,
also used to make the proposed street a full 60 feet in width. If a portion of these new lots
are included in the plat, the remnant lot that contains the home in the SW corner of the
proposed plat should be numbered as a lot and included as part of the platting process. I
4. A Subdivision Ordinance variance of 20 feet for the cul-de-sac diameter (120 feet required
and 100 feet proposed) would be required for the plat to be approved. I
5. Lot 1 does not meet the rear yard requirements due to the unusual configuration of the lot.
Staff has determined that the NW lot line is the rear lot line (being most nearly parallel to the I
front lot line) and that a 30 foot rear yard would, therefore, be required along the NW lot line.
6. City staffhas reviewed this proposed development with the Applicant several times over the -.
past months. Staffhas recommended that the plat be reduced to four lots with a full 120 foot
diameter cul-de-sac and that other lot dintension and yard requirements be met. The
Applicant feels that the site can support five lots with minor variances. The larger cul-de-sac I
will force the homes to be placed approximately two (2) feet further down the slope, requiring
more grading, and possibly more trees lost and the installation of sewage ejector systems on
some lots. Applicants certainly have the right to make application for developments requiring I
variances so three optional actions are available.
OPTIONS I
1. Deny the request for plat approval and identifY reasons for denial:
I
a. Plat requires a variance to the cul-de-sac diameter.
b. Lot 1 does not meet rear yard requirements. I
c. All portions of Lot 26, Block 3, have not been included in the plat.
,
,
2 -,
I
I .
I. 2. Approve the request and necessary variances, determining that the following conditions exist
for a Subdivision Ordinance Varilince (cul-de-sac diameter):
I
There are special circumstances (cite the specific circumstances) affecting the lot such
a.
I that strict application of regulations would deprive the Applicant of reasonable use of
his land.
b. The variance is necessary for the preservation of a substantial property right.
I c. The variance will not be detrimental to other property.
I For the Zouing Ordinance variances (front yard setbacks, Lot width, etc): that factors of the
site (unusual terrain) prohibit reasonable development equivalent to that which would be
permitted without a variance or a similar sized lot in the same district.
I , Table the request, giving the Applicant specific directions on acceptable development ?:
~.
I RECOMMENDATIONS
I Staff recommends that the Planning Commission table application #95-16 for the Balfany Preliminary
Plat, giving the Applicant specific direction on acceptable development parameters.
I- Both staff and the Applicant have developed a number of Concept Plans, none of which have shown
that it will be possible to develop more than four new lots without some variances and sewage ejector
pumps.

, MEMORANDUM
I DATE: June 29,1995
I TO: Mayor and City Council
Brian Fritsinger, Administrat.@
FROM:
,
SUBJECT: Non Agenda Packet Information Items
I In addition to your weekly mail, the Council may be interested in the following items:
1. June 27.1995. Letter from Mrs. Nancy Levine appealing her assessment at 1926
I Stowe Avenue. As the Council did not have an opportunity to act on this appeal, I'm
anticipating placing it on the July 10, 1995 Meeting for formal action. The front
I footage on her lot was found to be incorrect and has been reduced from 200 to 174
feet on tlte final roiL This in turn reduced her actual assessment to slightly more than
$5500. Staffhas also sent follow up letters to all affected property owners as a result
,- of the Assessment Hearing.
2 June 22. 1995. Letter from Lake Jobanna Fire Department including copies of
I the April Mutual Aid Fire Run Reports.
3. June 22. 1995 Letter from Lee Stotesberrv addressing concerns about visibility
I on the corner of Colleen and Hamline Avenues. Tree Inspector Winkel will be
reviewing this for further action and will contact the property owner.
I 4. June 30. 1995. Memorandum from Kevin Ringwald discussing the Ogren POO
application. Staffhas been discussing the impact of the EA W on the Ogren proposal
I and carefully considering procedurally the Public Hearing scheduled for July 5, 1995.
5. Public Works Superintendent - This position has been accepted by Dwayne
I Stafford. Mr. Stafford will begin with the City on Monday, July 10, 1995. Mr.
Stafford has almost thirty (30) years private sector background in the construction!
utility industry.
, Mr. Staffords' strength are in the area of construction, crew management and dealing
with customers. To aid Mr. Stafford's transition to the public sector, I would ask
I that Staff and the Council provide any background or assistance that tltey feel may
be appropriate.
I-

--------- . -------
I
2 .-
6. National Guard Water/Sewer Connection - Staff met with representatives of the ,
National Guard to discuss the Connection Agreement. Staff has proposed a
connection fee in the range of $22,500 - $28,000. 1 am anticipating this item to be I
placed on the July 10, 1995 Council Meeting Agenda.
7. June 28. 1995 Letter from Barb Piotrowski requesting a leave of absence from the I
Planning Commission until October 4, 1995. The Council should consider this
request and provide direction to Staff. Currently there are no alternates available for ,
this Commission. I have contacted Ray McGraw who has expressed a willingness
to act as an alternate during this period of time if the Council were to grant the leave.
8. County Road F Reconstruction - 11tis project has continued to provide difficulties I
for the City. Recent rains have at times left the road nearly impassible and the
contractor has not cooperated in providing access to the abutting properties. I
The City has received numerous complaints which include one which stated garbage
and mail service has been stopped due to the condition of the road. We have I
bypassed the on site Superintendent and are trying to work with the upper
management of the contractor to improve services. I have discussed with Mr.
Stonehouse the options available to the City to force changes by the contractor. -I
These options would include stopping the project until all issues are rectified.
I will continue to monitor the situation closely and update the Council as the project I
continues.
9. July 5. 1995. Planninll Commission Meeting Agenda Packet. I
10. June 24. 1995. Letter from the North Suburban Tobacco Compliance Proiect
inviting the City Council to a meeting on July 26, 1995. I will not be able to attend I
this meeting.
II. TCAAP - I had an opportunity to discuss with the Pioneer Press the fact that the I
Prairie Island Indian Community has filed a Resolution with the BIA on June 5,
1995, for ownership 0 f the full Arsenal property. 1 was not aware of this most recent I
request. While 1 don't know where Mr. Morrison obtained this information he did
also state that the BIA does not intend to act on any request by the Tribe until a
detailed plan is submitted by the Tribe. This is apparently the same action taken last I
year by Prairie Island. The Council will also fmd, included in the packet, additional
information from the TCAAP Task Force.
12. Miscellaneous - In light of the fact that it's an non-agenda week, I also included a I
little humor. Can you determine who the person is trying to see what the future -I
holds for TCAAP? I'm sure the Council never knew it had such a diverse Staff.

DEAR SIR:
I I LIVE ON COLLEEN AVE AND I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A REQUEST OF
YOUR DEPARTMENT THAT COULD POTENTIALLY PREVENT A TRAFFIC
ACCIDENT. THE HOME AT 1349 COLLEEN AVE (NW CORNER OF COLLEEN AND
I HAMLINE) HAS A TREE WITH BRANCHES THAT HANG SO LOW IT IMPAIRS
ONES VISION TO APPROACHING SOUTHBOUND HAMLINE TRAFFIC.
. THE CONTINUOS TRAFFIC BETWEEN 7:30 AND 8:15 AM IS BECOMING
UNBEARABLE BY ITSELF, BUT NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE THE ONCOMING CARS
MAKES IT DOWN RIGHT DANGEROUS.
I MY REQUEST IS THAT THE CITY, OR SEE TO IT THAT THE HOMEOWNER TRIM
THOSE BRANCHES THAT EFFECT VISION. HAVING THE HOMEOWNER DO IT IS
NOT THE BEST SITUATION AS THEY ARE HARDLY EVER THERE. THIS IS
I EVIDENT BY THE CONDITION OF THEIR FRONT YARD, WHICH COULD BE THE
SUBJECT OF OTHER CORRESPONDENCE.
I APPRECIATE YOUR PROMPT ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. I CAN BE
I REACHED AT THE FOLLOWING IF NEED BE.

Dear Ms. Person:
I My name is Sara Bechel and I am the Project Coordinator for the North Suburban Tobacco Compliance
Project. This is our second year and we are back as ready as ever to reduce youth access to tobacco
products!
I The North Suburban Tobacco Compliance Project is funded by Minnesota ASSIST. Minnesota ASSIST is
a shared project between the Minnesota Department ofHea1th and the American Cancer Society;
I Minnesota Division. and the communities of Minnesota.
The North Suburban Tobacco Compliance Project is committed to reducing youth access to tobacco
.- products. What our project is striving for is: Adherence to city ordinanceIstate law, open communication
between the vendors and the communities, and the availability of educational materials to all vendors
including those having trouble complying with the ordinance.
I The program begins (October, 1995 to October, 1996) when all vendors have been given a formal letter
stating that we are starting the compliance checks. The checks will be done by children between the ages
of 14-17 that are accompanied by a police officer from each community. These teenagers are recruited
I through local church youth groups and high schools. We have approximately 220 licensed tobacco
vendors in the communities of Falcon Heights, Maplewood, New Brighton, North Sl PauI. RoseviI1e,
Shoreview, and White Bear Lake. We will be doing a minimum of two compliance checks per licensed
vendor. We have had great success with the Tobacco Project - the communities of Shoreview and New
I Brighton had 100"/0 success laleS in their communities which means no person sold tobacco to a minor.
We have much further to travel though before we reach our goals and we need your support to do it.
I I would like 10 personally invite you, cily council members. and law enforcement officials from your
communily to attend our quarterly meeting on July 16, 1995 at 5:30 p.nt. The meeting will be held at the
White Bear Lake City Hall - Upper Cooference Room located at 4701 Hwy. 61, White Bear Lake. This
I meeting will enable you to see how we work as a team to strive for the success of our mutual goal.
If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me on my pager: 579-4097. I look
forward to discussing the tobacco project further with you.
I Sincerely,
I ~~(tl:<-tl

Task Force Meeting #3 - May 24, 1995 . -
-
The third TF mceting focused on prcscntations regarding thrcc important aspects of the TCAAP -
Site Overview: legal and regulatory considerationS, land use and zoning. and market.
-
Peter Coyle first presented the regulatory context for TCAAP. Most imponant is the process by -
which thc Gencral Services Administration (GSA) will dispose of excess TCAAP property:
(1) The properly must first be declared excess by the US Army Material and Chemical ,
Command (AMC).
(2) The property will then be screened by the Army Corps of Engineers to determine if any
other military user has an interest in all or part of it. I
(3) Unclaimed property will be turned over to GSA and screened for other potential federai
uses. Agencies will have 60 days to submit claims and demonstrate a clClll" inteat for the
property as well as the wherew,ithal to maintain and operate it. First priority for reuse goes ,
to providers of sheltcr for the homeless under the McKinney Act. Other priorities include
plans for correctional facilities, parks, health institutions and schools.
(4) Whatever property is not claimed by federal agencies will be declared surplus by the GSA ,
The GSA will publish the property's availability to potential public and private buyers.
(5) Public agencies have 20 days to respond and are given priority over private interests.
Pcter also discussed the Metropolitan Council's role in reviewing the plan for TCAAP for its I
effect on regional systems - transportation (highways and transit), housing and sewers.
Joyce Levine followed with a presentation on land use and zoning issues that included a large - I
map showing TCAAP IlDd all land uses up to a mile away. This map indicates that thc primary
land use to the north, east and south is residential, while the 3SW corridor to the west is I
dominated by industrial uses: The map also sbows substantial open space in the surrounding area
and clearly demonstrates the need to connect the Rice Creek corridor through the TCAAP site.
The Arden Hills zoning ordinance is generally good, but it may not bc up to dealing with thc .
challenges of developing TCAAP. More effective site-plan review provisions may be needed, as
well as additional flexibility for dealing with redevelopment over a long period of time. I
Lloyd Graven then presented preliminary market findings:
- There will be market support fur some commercial development, but the amoWlt may be ,
limited if the southwest portion of the site, where this developmCDt is most likely to occur,
retains its industrial character. It seems unlikely that a strong market for office or hotel
space will develop in the shon term. ,
- Northern Ramsey County has not bccn a stroll8 industrial marltct, due to the smaller size
of businesses in the area, but such development has bccn strong in the 3SW corridor in
general. TeMP's access and visibility should make it attractive to a variety of industrial ,
types. However, the more desirable uses may be put offby the character of current uses.
- Absorption of residential land in the vicinity of TCAAP has averaged morc than 100 acres
annually, and this trend should continue. Market support for specific types, prices and ,
qualities of housing will depend upon specific site characteristics.

JUN-Z6-9~ MON 1~:23 CAMIROS MINH 612a2773~9 P.04
- - Task Force Meeting #4 - May 31, 1995
- This meeting continued the Site Overview. Randy Thoreson led off with a slide show to orient
. Task Force members to the site. This was followed by three other SEH presentations:
- AI Sunderman discussed site contamination. TCAAP contains 14 known contJlminA(ed
- areas (a 15th has already been cleaned). These areas are in different stages ofrcmediation;
- some may not be released for many years. A lot of information lIbout site contamination is
I already available; AI will focus on evaluating impacts on future development. The intensity
and length of the cleanup will depend on the level and nature of contamination. One of his
objectives will be to identifY when land may be available for reuse.
- Beth N"JXon discussed available natural-resource information: soils, wetlands, wildlife
I habitat and plant communities. Some prairie restoration has taken place (controlled burOs),
and a few patches of native prairie remain on the site. Infonnation is available from the
University of Minnesota and several other sources. Critical issues will include preservation
I of turtle and other wildlife habitat and the level of use the environment can sustain.
- Dave Simons discussed site infrastructure. Some systems are still used (e.g., the two water
systems), while others have been abandoned. The MOImdsview Interceptor Sewer was
, oversized to handle development of the site. Dave will assess surface drainage, sanitary
sewer conditions, water delivery, roadways and structures to determine their continued
usability. SEH will also evaluate roadway capacity and identi1Y potential problems.
, Because oftbe short time-frame and the volume and complexity of the information, the consulting
- team will try to distill data down to what decision-makers need to make good decisions. More
, detailed infonnation will be available for those who need or want it.
. Public Open House #1 - June 1, 1995
With very little lead time, the Task Force sponsored its first public meeting: an hour-long open
I house, during which team and Task Force members spoke informally with citizens; a short
presentation about the site and the plan; and about an hour of questions and COllmleDU from the
public. Attendance was light (lIbout 30 people) because of the very short advertising time
I available and because of a competing Arsenal Cleanup and Conversion Project (ACCP) meeting.
Nonetheless, the meeting was an opponunity for interested individuals to speak with City officials
, about the future ofTCAAP and to learn lIbout the City's objectives and role in the disposal of the
property. A dozen people spoke, most wanting to make sure development ofTCAAP is in
keeping with the surrounding communities and sufficient open space is set aside for posterity.
I Gayle Bromander of the New Brighton Historical Society presented the City of Arden Hills with a
set of historical TCAAP maps showing pre-Army landowners and acquisition and a detailed plan
I of thc Arsenal as it appeared in 1959.

JUN-26-9~ MON 1~:24 C~MIROS MINH 61262773"::59 P.8.5
VISioning Workshop - June 8, 1995 -
-
Members of the Task Force, City Council and standing committees gathered to engage in a .
visionlng exercise designed to articulate rommunity values and goals for TCAAP. The workshop
began with a reprise of Randy Thoreson's slide show orientation. This was followed by five -
rounds of nominal-group brainstonniDg with pre-determined questions; -
(1) What are the best things about Arden Hills? These might be the reasons you moved here,
or qualities you admire, or what is unique and positive. [
(2) What are the worst things about Arden Hills? These items might be things that are lacking,
of poor quality or worrisom for the futun: (e.g., stagnant tax base).
(3) What's your vision ofTCAAP 20 years from now? What qualities should it have? What I
should it represent to the City of Arden Hills?
(4) What goals must be set if we are to achieve the vision [described above]1
(5) What [specific] ideas do you have that might help the City achieve its vision? "
In each round, each individual was asked to select hislber top tbree priorities. At the end of the
round, the group as a wholc was asked to seJect its collective top priorities.
Another component of the workshop was a visual image survey. Participants viewed a series of I
slides grouped into six categories: residential uses, commercial uses, industrial and office uses,
parks and open spaces, landmarks and landscaping, and TeMP as it exists today. Each ~I
participant recorded a reaction to each image on a scale of -5 (strongly dislike) to +S (strongly
like). The results show that participants like green open spaces, both by themselves and as
adjuncts to other uses; respond positively to water and low-density housing; and dislike very - I
intense uses, large expanses of parlcing and strip development (housing or retail).
TlISlt HllCe M.emng "3 _ June 14, 1995 I
The focus of this meeting was a review of the development goals and site evaluation criteria that
emerged through the visioning workshop. One of the strongest themes was to make TCAAP "like ,
the rest of Arden Hills", an idea about which the consulting team asked for clarification. Key
phrases used during this discussion included:
- "come home to Arden Hills"; I
- "continue to provide adequate services (don't have to be the 'best')";
- Arden Hills has a 'non-stressful environment" and is a "5IIIIctuary";
- Arden Hills is "safe", has lots of"trees", represents "stability (real or perceived)"; and ,I
- Arden Hills has a "sroan-town feel. "
The development goals cover 7 topics: land use; transportation and infrastructure; open space and il
recreation; economic development; flexibility over time; political and legislative issues; and
community character. After reviewing these goals, the group discussed some of the criteria to be
used in evaluating alternate deveJopmennchemes to see how well they achieve the goals. ,
The discussion raised SOme interesting points:
- Certain types of markets will dictate their own characteristics, regardless of what the City I
may think about them (e.g., entry monuments in high-priced housing areas).
-I
.,
I

-
.
- . - Development controls should not be so strict that their cost inhibits development,
particularly ofindllStry. However, because the site is virtuaUy a "blank slate" with respect
- to private development, the cost of controls will be figured into the cost of the land, so the
4 market will "weed out" developments that cannot or will not handle the higher costs.
- Task Force members asked that a second vi$ual image survey be done. focusing on images from
-' Arden Hills and other regional communities. They also requested slides showing solutions to
some ofTCAAP's challenges - e.g., what can be done with an abandoned gravel pit.
...
- Legislation and fund-raising
I . Congressman Vento's office supports the City's request for funding from the Economic
Development Administration. (Molly Grove also claims that Mr. Vento is supportive of the
City's planning effort because it will take some of the pressure off the Reuse Committee.)
, . The Metropolitan Liveable Communities Act passed ami was signed by the Governor. This
legislation creates a new pot of money for cleaning up "browu1ield" (contaminated) sites for
redevelopment.
, . The Office of Economic Adjustment may have available funding, although TCAAP may not
qualify. Representatives from the GSA recommended that Arden HiI1s continue to punue this
potential opportunity.
, . On JUDe 13, Ramsey County authorized payment ofS20,OOO to the City of Arden Hills to help
cover the cost of this planning effort. In return, the City agreed to have a County staff member
- sit ex officio on the Task Force.
,
Press coverage
, On May 14, 15 and 16, the St. Pm/I PiQneer Press ran a series of full-page articles about TCAAP
in the North Metro Section. Although both Denny Probst and Brian Fritsinger were contacted by
I reporter Blake Morrison, no mention of Arden Hills was made in any of the articles. This was
especially ironic because the newspaper printed the names of all members of the Reuse Committee
and a complete schedule of ACCP meetings. Joyce prepared a response for Denny's signature.
I On May 20, another article ran showing Alliant Tech's safety arcs. This article did quote Denny
Probst, but it also reiterated that the Reutilization Committee's recommendations would be "used
I by the General Services Administration when it decides who should get the land. "
The Foclls News and BlIlletill both ran articles on ACCP meetings on May 24.
I Another article ran in the PiQlleer Press on June 15, discussing the 'power jockeying going on
between a lot of different entities" - specifically, the Reutilization Committee and the Arden Hills
, Reuse Task Force. However, it also pointed out that "members of both task forces hope the two
groups agree on what should become of the land. .
, Blake Morrison had contacted the City earlier in the week to get duplicate copies of the two
earlier press releases (April 21 BIId May 18).

Arsenal Cleanup and Conversion Project (ACCP) . -
-
ACCP has conducted nearly a dozen public brainstonning sessions intended to solicil citizen input ~
about the future ofTCAAP. Although the ACCP has no "legal" standing in the TCAAP debate, it
has made good use of its mailing list and telephone network to encourage meeting attendance. -
The City of Arden Hills has donated clerical time to preparing verbatim transcripts of the resulls -
of these meetings and intends to consider those results as it proceeds with its own planning effort.
~
Each ACCP session explores the attributes of a good community: low population density, safety, -
diversity, good public services and infrastrUcture, a pedestrian-fiiendly environment, recreational
opportunities, good regional access, good jobs IlIId clean industry. Many of the assets participants I
saw in their communities were also identified by the Task Forc:e: good schools, strong neighbor-
hoods, good government, lots of green space. The values that participants felt should guide
planning for TCAAP include an open, inclusive process; aeation of many kinds of opportunities; I
tal( revenue; elimination of pollution and ammunition; living-wage jobs; preselVaUon of natural
resource~ and a long-ranse perspective. Participants do not wanl gambling, military uses, retail
saturation, or intrusive transportation routes. Many of the preferred uses are rec:reational - ice ,
arena, interpretive center, golf course, winter sports - or relate to economic development.
This input, which was gleaned from residents of surrounding communities as well as of Arden ,
Hills, will be invaluable as the Task Forc:e proceeds into development of alternate development
scenarios. It also supports the directions being taken by the Reutilization Committee (see below). -
Meetings oft/Ie Reutilization Committee ,
May 20, 1995 ,
Brian made a short presentation to the Committee on Arden Hills's planning process and handed
out the Task Force schedule. Denny asked the Committee to endorse the City's plan if it's similar ,
to whatever the Committee develops (this is the general expectation). He emphasized that the
TCAAP reuse plan is the City's only tool for dealing with the federal government.
The Committee's plan will include aU the surveys that have been done (by Moundsview School I
District, results due in June. and others); Committee minutes; infonnation provided by Alliant
Tech and others; the regional parks wisb list; and the City's plan. Matt Fulton (New Brighton) ,
suggested that Mr. Vento will need a non-land use list of needed actions -- e.g., mitigation, land
disposal staging, legislative steps. The Committee will present their .completed. document before
gelting a response from the public. Public meetings will probably be held in August or September, ,
b~se Vento does not want the Committee's work to extend past October. Molly Grove added
that it would take two months to prepare the document, and therefore if the Committee wants to
hold public meetings in August the plan would have to be completed in June. She agreed to pull I
together everything that was already available and distribute it at the next Commitftle meeting.
Mike Fix gave a status report on environmental cleanup. Originally this site was to receive $26 ,
million in FY '95, but that amount was cut to $2.7 million, then hiked back up to $10-12 million.

. While these cuts won't affect tlte cleanup effort, they do indicate that reliable annual funding is a
thing of the past and that cleanup is likely to get stretched out.
One of the current debates revolve:J around EP A's cleanup priorities - 'worst first", rather tItan
'worst last". This means that sites that could be returned to use fairly quickly and cheaply languish
- while EPA cleans up the dirtiest sites. One of the changes being considered for the Superfund
- would shift priorities to put land back into the marketplace more quickly. The.MN Pollution
Control Agency endorses this approach. Another issue is how clean is "clean" - to what standard
- should polluted siles be cleaned. As a rule, EP A wiD clean sites to industrial (not residential) reuse
- standards. However, it may even be more economical in the long run simply to "abandon" ceitain
.
parcels and just put them under guard, rather than trying to clean them at all.
~ The AMC is considering installing a Corrected Action Management Unit (CAMU). It could offer
-
economies of scale by creating one place to whicb all contaminated soil is brought for cleaning. It
, might also mean that some sites could be declared clean at once. However, if the quality of the
cleanup is lower or the pace is slower, CAMU won't work; funding could affect it. too. The site
selected for the CAMU is tlte area around Building 50 I in the far SW portion ofTCAAP _
I ironically, outside of A1liant Tech's safety arcs, thus making yet another piece of properly
unavailable for reuse. Denny advocated putting the CAMU within the existing safety arcs.
I Wayne Gilbert of Alliant Techsystems promised to provide the Committee with 8-1/2 X 11 maps
of the safety arcs at the next meeting.
, - The Committee then turned to land use planning. again trying to place an open-space preservation
line_ While most of the 1snd east ofHamline and the Rice Creek corridor would clearly be
included, other 1IfC8S are less obvious. The gravel pit area would be expensive to restore, but it
, has recreational potential. The kame is a rare geological feature created by a hole in the glacier
where sand was deposited; it too could be used for recreation. Nesting areas of Blanding's turtle
are still unknown and could affect land set-asides. Denny said the City will probably pursue a mix
I of uses with a pedestrian orientation, making sure that the site generates enough taxes to support
itself. Larry Holmberg of Ramsey County Parks recommended that the plan consider relocating
the MoDOT facility al the NW comer ofTCAAP, even if it's to another part ofTCAAP.
, At the end of the meeting. a Mr_ LaFontaine told the Committee that he holds a .pre-emption
celtiiicate", as described by treaty with the Turtle Mountain Reservation in North Dakota, that
, entitles him to J 60 acres of excess federal land. He claimed that. this certificate pre-empted all
other claims, even those offederal agencies. He would like to put a casino on his land. Vento's
office promised to investigate this claim and report on it.
, June 17,1995
, Brian presented the Arden Hills goals, linking them to what the Committee is doing to show how
the two groups are essentially on the same track.

Committee's recommendations will help him work with others in Congress to deal with TeAM's
future legislatively. He mentioued that the McKinney Act had changed within the last week; Peter
will check into this. Mr. Vento advocates restoration of contaminated sites to their "natural
condition", but admitted that this was a subject of debate in Congress. -
Arne Cook of Opus Corporation briefed the Committee on the market in the north suburbs and -
35W corridor. He began by saying that there are not many huge parcels left "close in", which -
makes TCAAP all the more valuable. Assuming that in lIII industrial area of 400 acres, where 20"/0 -
of the land would be used for roads and infraslruCture, the industria/land alone would be worth
$20 million; at 30"/0 coverage, this would support more than 4 million square feet of development. ,
When asked why this corridor, unlike the 1-494 corridor, has not seen this scale of development
before, Mr. Cook said that the 1-494 corridor is close to the saturation point and in ten years or so
developers will be looking north for prime development parcels. ,
Mr. Cook recommended that industrial development be covered by restrictive covenants (or
zoning and design controls) to regulate building materials, placement of loading docks, screening, I
irrigation, etc.; however, he cautioned against getting .carried away. because developen might
just leap-frog the community. He also urged creation of a master plan to guide developmetU, but
with enough flexibility to accommodate changes in technology and business practices. He I
recommended against using land leases unless they are very long-term (99 years). Properties
should be as .clean" as possible to satisl)' lenders. He said not just to cap contamination, because
"end lenders" - pension funds, insurance companies, etc. - are extremely risk-averse because - ,
they have deep pockets and expect to be sued for any problems. Congressman Vento interjected
that Congress is working on changes in lender liability laws that might help this situation,
Wayne Gilbert of Alliant Tech was reminded that he had promised to bring safety-arc maps. He ,
promised to do so at the next meeting. He also confirmed that Alliant recently won a $93 million
contract with AMC, and that most of the work will be done at TCAAP and a site in IDillOis. ,
Molly Grove reported that Mr. LaFontaine's pre-emption certificate does not apply to TCAAP or
lands like it, but to a special classification of federal property. I
ACCP distributed "raw data" from their meetings and announced that they will hold 5 to 10
meetings more in July. I
No progress was made on the Committee's land-use plan.

. Team discussions with representatives oft/Ie GSA
Dennis Speannan and Nancy Czapek of GSA met with Peter and Joyce on June 7. They said that
TCMP was getting awkward for thern, and discussed why:
. They want a single voice to speak for the community and are worried about conflict between
Vento's Committee and the City of Arden Hills, even though they know that responsibility for
land regulation lies with the City. Peter and Joyce explained that Vento's group is strussJing
to develop a plan because they lack teclmical assistance and will probably embrace the City's
plan. The two groups ace not that fac apart in their thinking about TCAAP's future.
. The Army has been difficult. Perry Reynolds, the lIIlIIIlIger of the AMC COIIUDaod, doesn't
seem to care about the future of Alliant Tech - that is, he expects its situation at TCAAP t.o
remain the same. The Anny could sell the property to Alliant Tech, but this is not likely.
. The National Guard said in January that they wanted the entire property, a position with
which the City seemed to agree. However, some terms oftbc agreement were lIJIWOrkable _
- e.g., the Guard could not sell off a piece for a new City Hall. Later statements suggest the
- Guacd wants only the parcel they now occupy.
. There is tension between the EP A and PCA regarding priorities for land disposa1.
-
. GSA would rather the community suppolt its disposal efforts than fight them, and will therefore
"work .villl the commlllf;ty and /w_ its p/Im tD the gnstat extent possible. " It will also
- encourage sale of the property for taxable uses and push federal agencies to honor the plan. GSA
. also typically discourages dispositions that inhibit future uses. Spearman and Czapek stressed that
. only the Army has any influence over A1Jiant, and it probably won't push for a change in the status
, quo (unlike the Air Force and Navy, which have worked to "privatize" their IlUpplicrs),
GSA believes tlte w/wk property will be exeessed lit olle time. (Note: Also on Jrms 7, tm
, announcement was made by the Industrial Operations Command (lOC) that TeMP Is excess,
"exc.zpt for the areas ocapied hy A/fiant Tech:systems, who cOfllill1les to perform an IOC
mi.t~lolI. ") The timing of disposal, however, will be dictated by the clc:alD.lp effort.
, The only reuse request made to the GSA so far came from local recreation groups. Spearman and
Czapek had heard nothing about the Prairie Island Sioux proposal However, they said the Buresu
, ofTndian A1Wrs ca.nnot designate as trust territory property that is not contiguous to an existing
reservation - that is, they cannot create a "new. reservation. The department would have to
negotiate the sale of the property, and !he tribe would not be able to build a casino on the site.
, When asked what the City should be doing about taking over the ares east ofHamline Avenue,
Spearman and Czapek recommended several steps:
, - Define it in the plan as a high priority.
- IdentifY who will receive the property and develop a workable management plan.
- Contact lohn Kelly at the National Park Service to obtain criteria for park dedications.
, They also suggested:
- contacting the Office of Economic Adjustment again regarding funding for planning; and
- through Senator Grams's office, asking tough questions about AIliant Tech's future, the
, exact timing of the excessing process, and ways in which cleanup may be expedited.
