MEMORANDUM I I DATE: August 11, 1995 TO: Mayor and City Council I FROM: Brian Fritsinger, City Administrat@ I SUBJECT: Presbyterian Homes - Resolution 95-56 I At its July 10, 1995 Council meeting the Arden Hills City Council scheduled a public hearing for August 14, 1995 to consider the issuance of Health Care Revenue Bonds. This hearing was scheduled at the request of Presbyterian Homes. I The proposed amount of the bond is $2,250,000. The issuance of the Bond would accomplish I several things: 1. Refinance existing outstanding bonds of$619,000. I . 2. Refinance existing line of credit of approximately $500,000. , Improve cash flow of organization by reducing the existing interest rate on debt J. from 8.3% and 9% to 6.5%. I 4. Finance additional site improvements/renovations. As explained at the July 10 meeting, the City in late 1991 and early 1992 approved action which I permitted the refinancing of an existing Revenue Bond for Presbyterian Homes. The funds obtained from this new issuance will be used exclusively in Arden Hills. I The City is not obligated to pay any of the expenses for the issuance of the Bond. The Bond is backed only by the revenue of the project, and the Ci~ would not be responsible for any outstanding debts should a future default occur, Should the Council adopt Resolution 95-56 it is I anticipated that a resolution for final approval will be placed on the August 28, 1995 Council meeting. I Recommendation Staff recommends the adoption of Resolution No, 95-56 giving approval to a municipal housing I program to provide financing and refinancing for a combination health care and senior housing development and giving preliminary approval to the issuance by the City of revenue bonds therefore on behalf of the Presbyterian Homes of Minnesota, Inc. or an affiliate thereof.

The City's housing policies are currently set I forth in the City's Comprehensive Plan and in a Housing Plan, adopted under provisions formerly set forth in Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 462C. This Housing Program has been . developed pursuant thereto, all in accordance with and as contemplated by Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 462C, as amended (sometimes referred to herein as the "Act"). The I established housing policies and goals of the City include the provision of suitable housing for people of all ages, incomes, and racial and ethnic groups in good living environments; maintaining high quality housing throughout the City; and eliminating instances of . dilapidation, blight, etc. Under the Act, the City, prior to issuing revenue bonds or other obligations with respect to a multi-family housing development, as described in Section e 462C.05, subd. 4, thereof, or a combination health care and elderly housing development, as I described in Section 462C.05, subd. 7, is to adopt a program setting forth the information required by the Act, including but not limited to Section 462C,05, Subd. 6, of the Act. This Program advances the aforementioned housing goals by enhancing the City's supply of . affordable rental housing facilities for elderly persons at reasonable rental rates, and through the renovation, upgrading and improvement of the City's existing housing and health care I facilities, all as authorized, contemplated and prescribed by the Act. 2. Program. This Housing Program comprises an effort by the City to I advance its housing and related health care goals by providing financing and retinancing for the combination health care and senior housing development described in paragraph 4 below (sometimes referred to herein generally in the aggregate as the "Facilities"). The proposed . refinancing of the Facilities is anticipated to produce debt service savings that will permit the maintenance of rates and charges at the most reasonably affordable levels. The proposed . renovation and improvement, including the acquisition and construction of site improvements, to and of the Facilities is expected to enhance the quality and livability of the Facilities for residents. The method of llnancing to be advanced for this Program shall I consist of the issuance of revenue bonds by the City pursuant to the Act. Such bonds shall comprise permanent financing for the Facilities and repayment of such bonds shall be provided for by the Corporation named in paragraph 4 (the "Corporation") entering into a I loan agreement with the City with respect to such Facilities. Under the Loan Agreement, the Corporation will agree to make payments sufficient to provide for payment in full of all e. principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the bonds when due. Additional security may I . .. - I . be provided for the bonds as determined by the original purchaser of the bonds, including a mortgage on the Facilities, and such other security as may be determined to be necessary or I desirable. The aggregate principal amount of the issue is expected to be not in excess of $2,250,000. It is anticipated that the1:imetable for the financing will be carried out on an I expedited basis and be concluded by not later than the end of the current calendar year. This Program is contemplated to be undertaken pursuant to Section 462C.05, subds. 4 and 7, of the Act and, therefore, it is contemplated that there shall be no specific limitation on the gross . income of the occupants. It is nevertheless the anticipation of the Corporation that residents of the financed rental housing facilities will consist primarily oflow and moderate income . persons. Program requirements as to the Facilities are to be monitored by the City or private parties, as will be provided in the applicable agreements to be entered into in connection with the issuance of the Bonds. . 3. Need for the Program. The Act and the City's Comprehensive Plan establish the need and necessity for the financing and refmancing of the Facilities included in I this Program. The Comprehensive Plan recognizes and is consistent with a goal of maintaining and improving the number of units of affordable housing and health care facilities for elderly persons and families in the City. The Comprehensive Plan also . emphasizes the promotion of middle income housing developments and multi-family developments. Finally, the City's housing goals should occur through private development, . . supported by government financing programs. By virtue of issuing the Bonds and providing financing and refinancing for the Facilities, the City will be assisting in the improvement of and the reduction of the overall costs of operating the Facilities. . 4. Description of Facilities. The Facilities which are to be the subject of the proposed financing consist of the existing 20S-bed nursing home and 178-unit elderly . assisted-living facilities, each located at 3220 Lake Johanna Boulevard in the City, containing approximately 108,000 square feet and 132,000 square feet, respectively (and . commonly known as the "McKnight Care Center" and "Lakeview Assisted Living," respectively), together with the existing senior independent living housing facilities located at 3120 Lake Johanna Boulevard in the City, and which contain 19 rentable units (and one . caretaker unit), comprising approximately 22,000 square feet in the aggregate (all of such facilities being referred to in the aggregate as the "Facilities"). The Facilities are currently owned by The Presbyterian Homes of Minnesota, Inc., a Minnesota nonprofit corporation, or I an affiliated nonprofit corporation (sometimes referred to herein in the alternative as the "Corporation"). It is anticipated that the proceeds of the Bonds may also be used, in part, to pay for certain costs of issuance of the Bonds. to the extent such costs are reasonable and arc . within an amount equal to 2.00% of the proceeds of the Bonds, and to fund any necessary reserves, including a debt service reserve fund, if required.

Brian Fritsinger CC: 520-055-58 I From: Greg Stonehouse Date: Al1b'Ust 10, 1995 I Subject: Benton Way Assessment - I This memorandum is presented to outline the revised assessments for the Hunter's Park Homeowner's Association. Two issues were brought up at the July 3], 1995 I assessment hearing and they will both be addressed herein. . The tirsl issue is the corner lot assessment issue for those lots located at the I intersections of Benton Way and Harriet Avenue. Based upon a review ofthe assessment calculations, the two residential properties (1179 and 1194) at the westerly intersection were previously included at the comer lot rate using the length of the short I side plus one third of the long side. The two outlots were not calculated using this method and the revised total assessment length for the Hunter's Park Homeowner's ^,socialion as a result of these revisions is 3,554.87, a reduction of317.90 feet. I Based upon this change the total assessment amount to the association should be reduced to $14,2] 9.48 and the resulting assessment per lot is $209.11 per parcel. I With respect to the Homeowner's Association frontage adjacent to the storm water outlots, the assessment was originally determined using the City's current policy for I l'Hr'~1 Tm.: nl:;~'" Of'... {ik,;\;.

The CilY past and current interpretation of the Bolicy is that the II City assesses 50% of the cost of overlay improvements to bcncfitting propeny owners. I In the case of a typical residential area the assessment is based on assessable front t()ot~ge. However, such a reduction il) ,the overall [tOnl footage for Benton Way would result in cither an increase in the ~ssessment rate for this portion of the project to I compensate for the diffcrence in 50% of the assessment cost; or an increase in the overail assessment rate for the entire project, which would cause residents throughout the City to participate in the improvements to outlot property owned by the Hunter's I Park Homeowner's Association. We hope this memo adequately addresses any questions or concerns you may have I regarding this issue. Please contact our office if you have additional inquiries regarding this issue. I I .

Arden Hills, MN 55112-5794 Dear Sirs: I It has come to our attention that the proposed assessment for the 1995 Street Improvements for Harriet Avenue and Benton Way for our property aL. I 1188 Benton Way Pin No.: 34-30-23-14-0078-7 I did not take into consideration the City's comer lot assessment reduction provisions. I The current proposed assessment to our property is computed at 1/68th of the total amount of footage abutting Hunters Park properties times $4 per foot. But, since there . are four corners (2 at the East entrance to Benton Way off Harriet Avenue and 2 at the I West entrance to Benton Way off Harriet Avenue) affecting this assessment, we feel we should be entitled to a 1/68th credit when the total reduction offootage is eomputed using I the corner lot reduction provisions. We feel that the same rules should apply to these as with any other corner lots in Arden Hills. I It is on this basis we are appealing this proposed assessment to our property. Sincerely, ~ I c . ~~ 0 ~~ ! e Getty' \, 7 I Gary Getty 1188 Benton Way Arden Hills, MN 55112-3756 I 484-1082 I I I- I Robert F. Porter - 1128 Benton Way - .

I The Honorable Mayor Dennis Probst and City Council of Arden Hills, MN c/o Mr. Brian Fritsinger, City Administrator I City of Arden Hills, MN 1450 West Highway 96 Arden Hills, MN 55112-5794 I Dear Sirs/Mesdames: . This letter serves as notice of appeal in regards to the proposed assessment for the 1995 Street Improvements for Benton Way and Harriet Avenue which are proposed to be placed against my property located at 1128 Benton Way, Pin No. 34-30-23-14-0019-8. I The basis of this appeal is that the proposed assessments for my lot and related Homeowner Association property interests, as calculated, do not take into consideration the city's comer I lot assessment reduction provisions. As a result of this oversight, the lineal footage of the project to be applied to my lot and property interests is larger than it should be and therefore the related assessment costs to be placed against my lot are greater than they should be I . pursuant to standard City Assessment Policy. There are four comer lots in the project area which are involved in the calculation of the I assessments to be placed to my property. These lots are formed at the points at which Benton Way and Harriet Avenue intersect. In view of the fact that the project streets forming the corners are being improved at the same time, it is clear that the City's "five year rule" must I be applied in calculating the linear footage for these lots. It has been confirmed at various meetings with the City Administration and City Consulting Engineering staff that this comer lot/five year rule is applied to comer lots within the city as standard operating procedure. I It has also been confirmed by the City Engineering staff in Public Hearing (July 31, 1995) on this project that the rule has not been applied to date to the subject corner lots in calculating the assessment amounts projected for placement to my property and the properties of my 67 fellow homeowner association members. It is my opinion that the City must apply I the same rules to these lots in an equal status as it does as a matter of standard policy for all other corner lots within the city. I The current proposed assessment to my property is computed at 1/68th of the total amount of project lineal footage abutting the Hunters Park Homeowners Association properties multiplied times $4.00 per lineal foot. When the proper comer lot reduction rules are applied I as they should be, my property is entitled to a credit to lhe currently proposed assessment amount. This credit will be equal to 1/68th of the total dollar amount representing the reduction in lineal footage due the subject comer lots. I m-F!?L- .- Robert F. Porter I .

Since there are four comers to Hunters Park -- 2 at the east entrance to Benton Way from Harriet and 2 at the west entrance to Benton Way from Harriet -- affecting this assessment, I feel that I I should be entitled to a l/68th credit when the total reduction of footage is computed using the corner lot reduction vrovisions. It seems only fair that the same rules should apply to these lots as to any other comer lots in Arden Hills. I This is the basis on which I appeal this proposed assessment to my property Thank you for your consideration. I (} ~ tJ} UJcUk' I Carol M. Wahi I I .

PUBLIC HEARING - 1995 Street Maintenance Improvement Proiect I Mayor Probst opened the Public Hearing at 7:32 p.m. City Administrator fritsinger verified proper publication of notification in the July 12, and 19th issues of the focus. I City Engineer Stonehouse briefly reviewed the project involving Benton Way and the Hunter's Park Homeowner's Association. I Mr. Stonehouse outlined the project area on a map, using an overhead transparency. He indicated the costs and funding for the project. The assessed cost to the resident for the overlay project would be $4 per linear foot. I Mr. Stonehouse explained the assessments are made based on State Statute 429.051, indicating the I ability for the City to assess properties benefiting from the improvement. He noted this benefit is based on increase in property value and not based upon use. I- I -------------------- I , , .- ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JULY 31. 1995 2 Mr. Stonehouse pointed out that 50% of City funds support overlay projects and 100% of seal coat - projects. I Mr. Stonehouse indicated the unique circumstance involving the Homeowners Association, noting the assessment will be divided by the 68 homes within the Association. The cost per home will be I $227.81. Mr. Gary Getty, 1188 Benton Way, President of the Hunter's Park Homeowner's Association, I thanked staff for meeting with him to explain the project. He referred to a letter sent to the City proposing reducing the assessment from $4 per linear foot to $2 per linear foot. Mr. Getty indicated the Association consists of individual single family homeowners, the units are I not town homes. He pointed out the development is unique to Arden Hills, and he believed the Council should review the way in which it may be assessed. . Mr. Getty suggested a liaison between the Association and the City would be appropriate for communication purposes, he volunteered to be that liaison. I Mr. Getty stated the homeowners are responsible for their own lots and driveways, the homeowners -. then pay the Association for the maintenance of the roadways, plus the cost of snow removal. Mr. Getty indicated the Association is proposing the reduction of the assessment from $4 per linear I foot to $2 per linear foot in those areas not considered common ground. He pointed out areas on comers should be assessed similar to other comer lots in Arden Hills. Mr. Frank Pistotnik, 1163 Benton Way, reiterated each homeowner would need to be I communicated with individually. Mr. Pistotnik questioned if the project is set for this year. Mayor Probst replied yes, the project will be completed this year. - Mr. Pistotnik asked why spot repairs are currently oecurring on Benton Way. Mr. Stonehouse indicated those repairs are part of the project. - Mr. Pistotnik expressed concern regarding the repairs, he did not feel this was a wise use of money, indicating the quality of the repairs. - Mr. Pistotnik encouraged the Council to re-evaluate the fairness of the assessment, he felt the I residents were paying twice. Mr. Bob Porter, 1128 Benton Way, also thanked staff for their cooperation. He also expressed his I concerns that the development is unique to Arden Hills. -I I I I. AlillEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JULY 31, 1995 ~ j I Mr. Porter noted outlot A, a large portion of this outlot is pond and no development is there. He indicated if the Council is to compare this development to a townhouse development, there would I be more units and a higher density to share the cost than there is at Hunter's Park. Mr. Porter expressed concern that the residents of Hunter's Park are paying more than a typical I resident because of the cost attributed to the private roads of the Association. I Mr. Porter believed the Council would be passing on costs to residents of this development whieh are not normally passed on to citizens. He reiterated the request to consider the comer lots. I Mayor Probst invited further comments from the audience regarding the Public Hearing. Hearing no further comments Mayor Probst closed the Public Hearing at 7:55 p.m. I Councilmember Aplikowski asked how much area is private roadway. Mr. Stonehouse indicated six private roads. I Mayor Probst, referring to the comer lot issue, indicated he was not sure how to correctly apply the suggested formula, but felt it should be reviewed. Mr. Stonehouse indicated an odd shape lot .- formula could also be considered. Mayor Probst explained the developer chose to construct the private roadways and therefore the City was taken out of the equation. He noted the City is unable to recognize the expense of those private I roadways. I City Administrator Fritsinger indicated the item could be tabled briefly for discussion of these options by the City Attorney and City Engineer if Council felt it necessary. I City Attorney Filla noted the City by its polieies attempts to establish standards and part of that process is the judgement of the Council to review the standards. He noted it also seems fair to spread the cost over the 68 units. I Mayor Probst indicated even if the formula is taken into consideration, he was unsure as to how much it would affect the end result of the assessment. . Councilmember Keim commented each lot would need to be reconfigured. I City Attorney Filla indicated there is a model, where expenses of common areas are shared by the 68 units. He noted if a new standard is established, the end result may only be one or two dollars. I Mr. Stonehouse indicated if the comer lot scenario is used, the City may lose approximately 440 feet of assessable front footage or approximately $1,760 in assessments. Ie I - -------- I ARDEN l;!Jl:LS CITY COUNCIL -JULY 31, 1995 4 .- Councilmember Aplikowski indicated she felt the outlots and open space were a benefit to the I residents and she would not be inclined to change the standard for the approximately $1,600 in I assessments. Mr. Getty commented there are two cul-de-sacs on Walden Place and Hunters Court which are I public streets where the only access is by way of Benton Way. He pointed out those residents also benefit from the open space of the outlots. Mr. Tom Harkness, 1123 Benton Way, indicated the value of $1,600 today may be a very I different than a similar amount in the future based on inflation. He expressed concern there would be a precedent established that would be used in the future. I Mr. Pistotnik reiterated the precedent established is very important, not just the money saved by the residents at this point. - Councilmember Aplikowski asked if Walden Place and Hunters Court were part of the Association. Mr. Stonehouse indicated no, and they were assessed at $4 per linear foot. I Mr. Stonehouse indicated after checking the footage it appears there would be 480 feet plus or minus -I a few feet that would be removed from the assessment. The assessment roll would be reduced by $1,920 or $28.24 per unit. Mayor Probst felt the comer lot issue was valid, but did not have the information available regarding I the formula to re-evaluate the assessment. Councilmember Aplikowski indicated she was not ready to make a decision with the information I available. She asked if more information could be obtained and presented at the next Council meeting. I Mayor Probst indicated the issue would be to establish how the formula should change. He indicated once the Council decides on the way in which this development is assessed, this formula will also I be used in the future, therefore he felt the Council should approach this issue with caution. Mayor Probst did agree with the fact that this development is unique and the Council needs to be I confident with the standard or formula chosen to apply to this development. Councilmember Keim felt the correct formula has already been chosen, and the development is not I going to change. Mayor Probst asked if the development is built out completely. Mr. Fritsinger indicated he would I need to review the Planned Unit Development, typically there is no development on areas designated -I as outlots. I I I. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JUL Y 31,1995 5 I Mayor Probst indicated there are several options the Council could choose: I) approve assessment roll with no change; 2) correct assessment with comer lot formula; or 3) table the item. I Councilmember Aplikowski indicated she felt uncomfortable with making a decision at this point. I MOTION: Aplikowski moved and Keim seconded a motion to table the adoption of Resolution 95-57 until August 14, 1995 and direct staff to review options for the assessment roll. I Councilmember Keim inquired as to the information Council wishes to have staff obtain. Councilmember Aplikowski indicated she wished for staff to review configurations of formulas I available and establish what may be the best way in which to assess this unique development. Councilmember Aplikowski indicated it is not just the money issue, but there will be a precedent established. I Motion carried (2-1, with Councilmember Keirn opposed). . Mayor Probst indicated this would be a continued item and there will be no additional publication of the Public Hearing. .e Mr. Getty inquired as to when the 30 day period for appeals would begin. Mr. Filla indicated the written objection would need to be presented to the City prior to the close of the Public Hearing and I then the resident would have 30 days from the time of the adoption of the Assessment Roll by the City Council. I Mr. Harkness inquired if the letter sent to the City would be a formal objection. Mr. Fritsinger indicated typically each homeowner would need to formally object. . Mr. Filla after reviewing the letter of July II, 1995, indicated this would not be a formal objection. Mr. Porter inquired if there is a way to preserve the options of appeals by continuing the Public . Hearing. Mr. Filla indicated if the City Council made a motion, this would be possible. MOTION: Aplikowski moved and Keim seconded a motion to reopen the Public Hearing for I 1995 Street Maintenance Improvement Project. Motion carried unanimously (3-0). Mr. Fritsinger asked if the letters of objection need to be filed before the close of the Public Hearing. I Mr. Filla indicated that was correct and any objections must be made in writing to the City prior to the close of the Public Hearing. . MOTION: Keirn moved and Aplikowski seconded a motion to continue the Public Hearing on .e 1995 Street Maintenance Improvement Project to the August 14, 1995 Regular Council Meeting at 8:00 p.m. The motion carried unanimously (3-0).

Community Development Director Ringwald briefly reviewed the request for Planned Unit Development Master Plan and Final Plan approval for Phase II of the DynaMark project. I Mr. Ringwald noted in April of 1995, this parcel was divided from the Control Data Systems -. property and Phase I of this project was approved. I I I. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - .[{1L Y ) I, 1995 7 I Mr. Ringwald indicated the Planning Commission recommends approval of Planning Case 95-15, I PUD Master Plan and Final Site Plan for CSM IDynaMark Phase II. Mr. Ringwald noted, referring to the minutes of the Planning Commission ofJuly 5, 1995, condition I number four as to the knowledge of staff, been adequately addressed and recommends the following conditions: I 1. That the lot division be filed with Ramsey County prior to occupancy of either building. 2. That the access easement document drafted for Stage I construction be amended, if I necessary, to include access to both parcels and circulation between the pareels and be subject to the review and approval of the City Attorney; , That the staff work with the Applicant to make minor adjustments in the curb radius J. I of intersection to facilitate access by large vehicles; and 4. Erosion Control Plan be reviewed by staff for adequacy of design. I Mr. Ringwald indicated Mr. Cliff Bartlett, a Shoreview resident, requested information on where the surface runoff from the CSMlDynaMark project goes after it leaves their site. Mr. Bartlett was I- concerned the development of this site would cause additional ponding on his property. The staff, with assistance of the City of Shore view and Ramsey County Public Works, has determined that the surface runoff from this project does not flow into Mr. Bartlett's property. Staffhas informed Mr. I Bartlett of the location of the storm drain system. Staff also put Mr. Bartlett into contact with the City of Shoreview, who was going to provide him with a copy of the storm drain plans for the area. I Mr. Ringwald commented in reterence to erosion control, it is being handled as construction occurs and easement documents directing roads and modifications to accommodate large vehicles are in place. I Mayor Probst asked the reason why the loading bays had been removed. Mr. Bill Sikora representing CSM indicated the primary loading and refuse collection is the hatched area just east I of the building. Mayor Probst inquired if the area is screened. Mr. Sikora assured Council the area is properly sereened. I MOTION: Keim moved and Aplikowski seconded a motion to approve Planning case 95-15, CSM Planned Unit Development with the four stated conditions as outlined by staff. I The motion carried unanimously (3-0). I P1anninl! Case 95-16. Balfanv Preliminarv Plat Community Development Director Ringwald reviewed the request for approval of a five lot I- Preliminary Plat. I I ARQJ;;N HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JULY 31,1995 8 .- Mr. Ringwald noted in September of 1993, the Applicant submitted a six lot PUD Concept Plan . review to the City Staff. The staff recommendation was to reduce the number of lots to three or four I and to use the required 60 foot radius cul-de-sac. Mr. Ringwald indicated the Applicant then in September of 1994 again submitted a six lot PUD for I staff review, and staff recommended reducing the number to five or preferably four. Mr. Ringwald noted in November of 1994, the Planning Commission reviewed an application for I a six lot PUD with virtually the same reaction as noted in September, 1993 and 1994 staff memos. Mr. Ringwald indicated the staff recommended the Planning Commission table the application, I giving the Applicant specific direction on acceptable development parameters. Mr. Ringwald reported the Planning Commission considered a motion to table the request and give I specific direction on acceptable development parameters. However, the petitioner requested that the Planning Commission take action on their request. Therefore, the Planning Commission took action I on their request. Mr. Ringwald reported the Planning Commission recommended denial of Planning Case 95-16, -I Balfany Preliminary Plat. The recommendation to deny the Preliminary Plat was based on: A. Plat requires a variance to the cul-de-sac diameter. I B. Lot 1 does not meet the rear yard setback requirements; and C. All portions of Lot 25, Block 3, Rohlder's Home and Garden Acres have not been included in the plat. - Mr. Ringwald indicated the primary concern is the radius of the cul-de-sac. Mr. Ringwald informed the City Council they could approve the request, send the application back I to the Planning Commission or deny the application. - Mr. Ringwald noted there would be five new lots with one existing lot. Mr. Ringwald indicated the primary reason for denial was staff believed there were options available I for a design that would be code consistent and still establish the goals desired by the developer to save trees and eliminate ejector sewer systems. I Mr. Ringwald indicated the Applicant did not make a compelling argument for the tree in the island of the cul-de-sac and the smaller radius. I -I I I I. ~~El'J HILj;,S CITY COUNCIL - JULY 31,1995 9 I Councilmember Keim asked if there were concerns regarding the sewer. Mr. Ringwald indicated I in the current design, only first floors would be able to have sewer, any lower levels would require injector systems if sewer was desired. I Mr. Ringwald explained staffhas reviewed various options that would provide for a code consistent design and staff feels this could be accomplished if only four lots were designed and not five. I Mayor Probst inquired about the triangular lot, he questioned if the lot was a conforming lot. Mr. Ringwald noted as proposed it is not, but minor modifications eould be made to establish a conforming lot. I Mr. Dick Krier representing the Applicant indicated the site has various existing conditions. He noted a plan was designed to meet all the requirements of the City, but they felt it was a poor design, I sacrificing trees and requiring injector systems. Mr. Krier indicated the Applicant would be willing to remove the tree within the island of the cuI-de- I sac. He noted they realize the concerns with reducing the cul-de-sac, but felt it was sufficient and addressed other concerns regarding the injector systems. .. Mr. Krier indicated the problem with only developing four lots is, that it would not be feasible for the project to move forward, financially. I Mr. Krier stated he felt this is a unique development. Mr. Krier requested if the Council feels comfortable with this application they should approve it and if the Council feels uncomfortable to I recommend returning the application to the Planning Commission. Mayor Probst inquired if this application is under the new state requirements for a time restriction. I Mr. Ringwald indicated this application was made prior to July 1, 1995 and would not fall under the new requirements. I Mayor Probst expressed concern that the developer is trying to put too much on the site. He commented that he liked the island in the cul-de-sac, but would prefer the full 60 foot width and without the tree. I Mayor Probst indieated it was clear the Council would not negotiate, either they would deny, I approve or send back to the Planning Commission. He indicated his feelings would be to return the application to the Planning Commission. I Councilmember Aplikowski inquired if there is any way the developer still could have five lots. Mr. Ringwald indicated staff felt the area gained by developing only four lots would provide a code I- consistent design and by moving the house pads up further from the slope, the injector systems I I ARD~ HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JUL Y 31, 1995 10 .- I would not be necessary. Staff felt this would meet the goals of the City and the goals of the developer. I Mr. Ringwald felt exploring options would be beneficial to both the City and the developer. Councilmember Aplikowski expressed sensitivity to wanting to develop the most and best on the - site. She expressed concern for the injector systems and the turn around radius for emergency vehicles. She also felt it beneficial for the City and developer to explore all options. . City Attorney Filla explained the City Council may deny the application, approve the application . or refer the application back to the Planning Commission with the consent of the applicant. MOTION: Keim moved and Aplikowski seconded a motion to refer the Planning Case 95-16, Balfany Preliminary Plat to the Planning Commission for further research with the . consent of the developer. The motion carried unanimously (3-0). Resolution 95-58. Accepting Bids and Authorizinl! Execution of Contract for the Perry Park I Redevelopment. -I Parks & Recreation Director,Walsh, reviewed the many problems currently existing at Perry Park such as: safety issue of overlapping ball fields, erosion, ADA inaccessibility, lack of adequate parking, and quality of ball fields. I Ms. Walsh indicated the redevelopment will address all the above concerns. The new park will contain three adult ball fields, and one little league field. The erosion will be addressed by catch - basins. The ADA requirements will be met. Additional parking will be constructed and per the request of neighbors and the Sheriffs department, the parking lot will be serviced with lighting. The - lighting will serve one field and the parking lot. City Engineer Stonehouse noted the bids have been received and the low bid is from Veit & I Company with a bid of $222,575.00. Mr. Stonehouse indicated he finds Veit & Company to be a responsible and competent contractor, and would recommend that they be awarded the contract for the Charles Perry Park improvements project. I Mr. Stonehouse discussed the alternates, he recommended the irrigation, sodding and lighting of one field with the availability of lighting a second field in the future. I Mr. Stonehouse recommended to award the contract to Veit & Company in the amount of $256,575 to include the installation of the irrigation system as proposed in Alternate 6.0 Additionally, if the . Council wishes to include field lighting in <me of the ball fields, MSA would recommend accepting both Alternate 7.0 and 7.1. This would result in a total contract award amount of$306,975.00 with -I I I I. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL -MY 31, 1995 1L I estimated total project cost of approximately $362,000 based upon a 5% contingency cost and I associated overhead costs. Mr. Stonehouse additionally recommended: I A. The City of Arden Hills should note acceptance and receipt of all nine bid proposals. Bid bonds should be returned to all but the three low bidders for the project. I B. The City should award the project to Veit & company, upon resolution of the alternate bid items presented. I C. All conditions and transactions as noted herein be subject to review and input of the City Attorney. I Mr. Stonehouse noted recommendations of the Rice Creek Watershed District will need to be addressed, but there will be no additional cost to the City. I Mayor Probst inquired about the playground facility. Ms. Walsh indicated the playground facility .e is not included in this bid, but will need to be added before 1997 to stay in accordance with the grant received by the State. I Mayor Probst inquired if there is a current little league field. Ms. Walsh noted currently there is not a little league field. . Mayor Probst asked if using this field for a little league will reduce the field capacity by one-fourth. Ms. Walsh explained there would not be a loss with the addition oflighting of one of the fields. I Mayor Probst inquired if the lighting should be added at a later date. Mr. Stonehouse advised the cost of adding the lights at a later date could be more expensive. Ms. Walsh added the cost of digging the turf up at a later date would also add expense. I Ms. Walsh also explained the lighting would also service the parking lot and this is a request of the I neighbors and the Sheriffs Department. Ms. Megan Ricke, Chair of the Parks & Recreation Committee, indicated they have held meetings I with the neighbors and their concerns were for the lighting and parking. She noted the lighting is more sophisticated than in the past and lighting will be concentrated on the fields. I Ms. Ricke indicated the field at Cummings Park will become available for adult games, previously this field was used for little league and those games will now be at Perry Park. .e I ------------- - ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JUL Y 31. 1995 12 .- . Ms. Ricke indicated surveys have been taken in regard to improving Perry Park and out of 71 signatures 71 were in favor of the improvements and 68 were in favor oflighting the second field. . Mayor Probst indicated he is in favor of the modifications to Perry Park. Mr. Doug McFarland, President of Little Lakes Little League, indicated their support for . improvements to Perry Park. He noted the Little Lakes Little League has approximately 1,400 players on 100 Teams. I Mayor Probst indicated he was in favor of the metal poles versus the use of wooden poles, even though it may be slightly more expensive. I Councilmember Aplikowski inquired if the irrigation was necessary. Mr. Stonehouse indicated . based on his conversations with area contractors all have used irrigation, with the exception of Roseville on one field, but that field was not used for one year. Councilmember Aplikowski asked what type of system would it be. Mr. Stonehouse indicated the . system would be similar to those on golf courses. Councilmember Aplikowski expressed concern for the contractor, her hesitation was based on the -. current experience with County Road F reconstruction. Mr. Stonehouse assured Council, Veit & Company is a reputable company. - Councilrnember Aplikowski inquired as to the time frame of the project. Mr. Stonehouse indicated the start date goal is August 7, 1995. - Mr. Mark Peterson, 4468 HamIine Avenue, encouraged the Council to move forward with the proj ect, he believed it would be a great benefit to the City. He currently works for the Parks . Department in Plymouth and is familiar with such projects. He noted sod and irrigation are a must if the use of the fields are needed immediately, as are the fields in Arden Hills. . Mr. Peterson applauded the efforts of Ms. Walsh and Ms. Ricke at obtaining funding for the project, he has never seen where 50% of project cost is funded by donations. . Ms. Ricke commented the lighting issue addressing concerns of residents and the Sheriffs Department and if available she would like to see the second field also serviced by lights in this . project. Ms. Ricke noted in 1982 the Park Dedication fund was at $286,000 and each year the Committee . has recommended to spend wisely and conservatively. The fund is now at $600,000. She noted even with the expenditure of the Perry Park project, there will be a healthy fund balance remaining. -. . I I. ARQEl'! HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JULY 31 , 1995 13 I Councilmember Keim inquired what the cost of the second lighting would be. Ms. Walsh indicated I it would be approximately $25,000 and the current plan would allow for the addition at a later date. Ms. Walsh preferred the expenditure go towards the playground facility first. I MOTION: Keim moved and Aplikowski seconded a motion to adopt Resolution 95-58, Accepting Bids and Authorizing Execution of Contract for the Perry Park Redevelopment with the additions of Alternate 6.0, 7.0 and 7.1 with an estimate cost I of$362,000 and subject to the review and approval of the City Attorney.

Arden Manor Watermain Construction I Mr. Stonehouse indicated he is to meet with Steve Maid of Federal Cartridge on August I, to . confirm the scope of the project. He indicated this project will be reimbursed fully by the Army, therefore no cost to the City. Councilmember Aplikowski expressed concern that the County Road F project is not addressing the I concerns of the residents and the behavior of the construction crew is unacceptable. Councilmember -I Aplikowski indicated residents need proper notification of work along the road and especially in front of their homes. Some residents were not notified of the loss of water service to their homes. She felt this behavior is just not appropriate, and common courtesy should prevaiL Mr. Stonehouse indicated an inspector went door to door to notify residents, but some residents were I not at home. Mr. Stonehouse urged residents to contact him directly when problems occur so he I does not hear it when it is too late to resolve. Councilmember Aplikowski expressed concern that the Engineer should even be contacted. She I realized there would be problems during construction with weather, accidents, etc. but common courtesy of notification and proper behavior with the residents should be a given and should not need attention. I Councilmember Aplikowski noted even if signs designating the availability of the road, is a simple courtesy and the City staff should not have to put up signs during the middle of the night for safety I reasons. The contractor should address all safety issues during construction. Councilmember Aplikowski felt the credibility of the contractor and the City has been lost with this I project. Mr. Stonehouse indicated it was his understanding the conditions had improved. Mr. Craig Wilson, . 1677 County Road F, indicated treatment towards himself has improved, but advanced notice of the work is still an issue with area residents. -. I ------ I I. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - J1)L Y 31, 1995 15 I Mayor Probst indicated the company chosen for this project, Midwest Asphalt is a reputable I company, but there is staff from this company that do not understand the protocol of working with residents and necessary common courtesies. Mayor Probst expressed concern for compliance with the contract and encouraged Mr. Stonehouse to review the situation. I Mayor Probst also noted he has not been notified of the work on Stowe, which directly affects him. He did not want the bad example of County Road F reconstruction to continue throughout other City I projects. TCAAP Update I City Administrator Fritsinger indicated information added to the Council packet. I Mr. Fritsinger indicated there had been an open house held to hear the comments of the public. He noted some comments were for a 2,400 acre open space. He stated an additional Open House will I be held on August 9, 1995 at 7:00 p.m. He noted a new location is being researched due to the acoustics at the Army Reserve Facility. I- Mr. Fritsinger indicated the comments will be forwarded to the Task Force and the goal of the Task Force is to make a recommendation for one specific plan proposal by the end of August. I Mayor Probst added he still believes the meetings are making progress and the City has established itself clearly. He realizes not everyone will be happy with the eventual decision, but is confident the majority will be pleased. . Mr. Fritsinger inquired if the Council would object to having an Open House outside the city limits. Mayor Probst suggested staying within the city limits, perhaps researching the availability of hotels I or corporate facilities. . ADMINISTRATOR COMMENTS I City Administrator Fritsinger reported he met with the Army Reserve to once again discuss the issue of Retrocession. He is anticipating the receipt of a Memorandum of Understanding within the week. I Mr. Fritsinger also indicated he will be on vacation September 8 through the 14th.

There have been several deadlines set over the last few I years. Staff met with Everest this morning, (July 20, 1995) and was unable to reach an agreement. The key issues with staff are the assembly of the site, the timing of acquisition & overall areas being in control of the project. I Tim Nelson, Everest Development, stated that they are proposing to control 66% of the project area prior to requiring city participation. They recognize that a full 1 00% I assembly of the site is critical to the project The risk of acquiring all parcels has led to the decision of only partial assembly.

MEMORANDUM I DATE: August 11, 1995 I TO: Brian Fritsinger, City Administrator I FROM: Dwayne Stafford, Public Works Superintendent - I SUBJECT: Surface Water Management (SWM) 509 Capital Projects I Back~round The City of Arden Hills launched a Surface Water Management (SWM) utility on April I, 1993. Among the many justifications for this new utility was the means of funding five (5) significant I capital projects identified in the City's long-range Surface Water 509 Plan. At the time of this utility's inception, Council directed staff to complete the 509 capital projects on a regular and systematic basis such that they would be accomplished by 1997. I 509 Capital Project Workplan . Year Project Description Estimated Proiect Cost I 1993 Keithson Pond $75,000 1994 (Valentine Pond postponed due to 1995 Cty Rd F project) N/A I 1995 Valentine Outlet Project 60,000 Lake Josephine Outlet Project 32,000 1996 Karth Lake Project 70,000 I 1997 Grey Fox Drainage Project 100.000 $337.000 I 1995 Budget Implication Only the Valentine Outlet Project is included in the adopted 1995 budget. Staff would I recommend that Council consider authorizing a $32,000 1995 budget deviation that specifically approves the Lake Josephine 509 project in the Surface Water Management utility. This deviation would allow a more systematic completion of the previously identified 509 capital I projects. Project Plans & Specifications I Staff also recommends that Council considers authorizing the City Engineer to prepare plans and specifications on the remaining proposed 1995 project (Lake Josephine) and the proposed 1996 I project (Karth Lake). This action will support the project work plan and assist in 1996 budget preparation. I . I ---- I - ~I~~ ,. I - l I:; \r~JI~~ I CONSlIL TING &lGLmllS i!.:i July 24. 1995 ., I 1326 En"1l)' Pork On'.

Based upon our site visits to both the Cummings Park, and the _ MUNIOPAl I North Hamline Avenue locations, it appears that these areas may best be addressed under PlANNING one contract. This will allow the City to achieve some economies of scale to obtain the SOUOWASTE STRUC11JlAt most competitive bid prices possible. The project contract could be wrinen to allow the I SURVEYING City to select one or both of the improvements after the project has been bid, according TRAfFIC to the funds the City allocates from the Storm Water Maintenance Fund. iRANSPORTATION I Again, to summarize the twO projects addressed at our meeting on July 21 were the outlet EUGR1CAUMECHANlCAL from Lake Josephine on North Hamline Avenue and the ditch inlet to Karth Lake in ENGiNEERING: Cummings Park. The North Hamline project would consist of me replacement of culverts I H\1AC beneath the street, and ditch grading and modification of the flow line in an effort to poWER DlSTRIBunON reduce me sedimentation problems me ditch is currently exper~ncing. The estimated cost SCADA of this improvement is $32,000. I SYSTEM CONTllOlS The Karth Lake project consists of the construction of check dams along me length of the . ditch flowing into Karth Lake. In addition to this construction, it is recommended that the small foot bridge be replaced as it is a potential safety hazard to both pedestrians and bicyclists, as there are no railings and me bridge is approximately three feet narrower than I the actual trail. In addition to these improvements, it is recommended mat the wetland outlet further west along me trail receive outfall improvements to prevent me eminent erosion problems that appear to be starting already. The estimated COSI of mis project is I $70.000; $55.000 of which is for me drainage improvements and $15,000 is estimated for OFFICE5iN: lhe bridge construction. .

Mr. Ringwald indicated the petitioner is requesting approval of a site plan which provides for a new 138 space parking lot. The site plan also provides for a pedestrian trail from the parking lot to the Edgren. I Bodien and Getch Residence Hails. I Mr. Ringwald reported the Special Use Permit for the Bethel College Campus Master Plan was originally issued in 1978 and amended in 1980. The amended Special Use Permit stipulates that development proposals that are consistent with the Master Plan will require only site plan approval. I Mr. Ringwald noted lhe site coverage will total 173%, which is underthe 25% lot coverage limit. I 'vfr. Ringwald reported lhe Bethel College Campus currently contaInS 1,640 parking spaces, \,VIm lhe addition of 138 parking spaces ,he site would contain [,778 parking spaces. Staff would conclude ,hat the parking prOVIded, at lhis lime, exceeds the requirements of the SI.!'P I I - I ------- ------- ----- .. . Dk~AFT I PlanninQ' Commission Minutes Paee 2 08/02/95 . , I Mr. Ringwald noted the parking lot is accessed offofHamline Avenue via the service drive. The service drive is located within the State Highway 51 right-of-way and is under the jurisdiction of the I State of Minnesota Department ofTransportatiOI1'(MNDOT). The parking lot provides for one point of direct vehicular access to the servic~ drive. The college proposes to have a "Control Gate" installed at the entry to the parking lot from the service drive for security purposes. I Mr. Ringwald noted Bethel College will be requesting staff to pursue discussions with l'vfNDOT regarding the vacation of the service drive right-of-way. The college wishes to obtain ownership of I the service drive so that they may maintain it in an acceptable condition. If the college were to obtain the seIVice drive, then the "Control Gate" would be relocated from the proposed parking lot to the intersection of the service drive and Bethel Drive. If the "Control Gate" can be relocated to [he I intersection of the service drive and Bethel Drive, then staff would recommend the construction of a second access from the southeast comer of the parking lot to the seIVice drive to maximize on-site calculation. I Mr. Ringwald noted the City of Arden Hills received the application for this request on July 3, 1995. Pursuant to Minnesota Statute, the City must act on this request by Friday, September I, 1995 (60 I days), unless the City provides the petitioner with written reasons for an additional 60 day review period. The additional review period would extend to Tuesday, October 31, 1995. The City may, . with the petitioner's consent, extend the review period beyond the Tuesday, October 31, 1995 date. . Lastly, if the City denies the petitioner's request, "...it must state in writing the reasons for denial at the time that it denies the request. " Mr. Ringwald indicated staff recommends approval of the Site Plan, in Planning Case 95-18, I conditioned on: 1. Modification of the southeast corner of the parking lot to provide a second access I point, if Bethel College can relocate the "Control Gate" to the intersection of the I service drive and Bethel Drive. ~ Modification of the storm sewer outlet adjacent to the creek, per the consulting "-. I engineers recommendation and for their approval. 3. Approval of the grading plan by the Rice Creek Watershed District. . Provision of written verificalion that the prolJosed use (138 stall parking lot) 's 4 permitted within the utility easement. I Mr. Craig Hjelle from Bethel College briefly commented, the location of the "Control Gate" may change to Bethel Drive, but this will be reviewed with staff if ownership of the service road is I obtained. . . I I p;,;.-:-, i'"".~__ wf~kr i I . Plannim;r Commission Minutes Page ., 08/02195 ..~~~ I Mr Hjelle indicated this proposed parking will be for residentS of the dorms and they will concentrate commuter parking on the other lots. . . I Chair Erickson asked where the event parking would be. Mr. Hjeile indicated the event parking will be near the sports center and also the Community Life Center. I Commissioner Larson inquired if Lake Valentine is included in figuring the lot coverage. Mr. Ringwald indicated Lake Valentine is not included, but the wetlands are. I Commissioner Sand inquired about handicapped parking. Mr. Ringwald indicated there is no stall designation on the site plan. Mr. Hjelle indicated the dorms that are near this lot are inaccessible and I the lerrain is not very accessible. Therefore, there is not a need for accessible parking, although if the City sees a need to deSIgnate handicap parking the applicant will comply. I Commissioner Sand inquired if there is adequate handicapped parking near the football field. Mr. Hjelle indicated there are four designated handicapped spaces. I Mr. Ringwald noted an additional condition could be added to verify the ADA parking requirements have been met prior to permit issuance. I . Corrunissioner Carlson noted when the originally Master Plan was drafted, it was his understanding that Bethel College was at the enrollment they desired. Mr. Hjelle indicated that would be incorrect, and the Bethel College is researching the necessity of updating their Master Plan. The goal of I enrollment is approximately 2,400 stUdents. I Corrunissioner Carlson questioned the college's intentions for the lot across from the entrance. Mr. Hjelle indicated there are no current plans or intentions for buildings on that lot. I Commissioner Rye inquired ,f there were any concerns regarding Rice Creek Walershed requirements. Mr. Hjelle indicated they will have Rice Creek Watershed approval before proceeding, in fact the civil engineer is currently working with Rice Creek Watershed District. I Larson moved, Sand seconded a motion to approve Case #95-18, Bethel College Site Plan Review - Parking Lot with the four stated conditions with lhe addition of condition number I five: . ?:-:="vi.SiOn or' lc;;~'...:.are .~.J..nGic:.o ~Z:..r:~::g ,jtalls is :i::~'..ll:-:;;': ':y :::-::u~,-\." ~r:c.r :c ~,-"e . issuance of the buiiding permit.

DOUGLAS SWANSON 3232 NEW BRIGHTON ROAD VARIANCE-SIDE YARD SETBACK I Community Development Director Ringwald presented the staff report at this time. Mr. Ringwald indicated the petitioner is requesting approval of a variance from the required side yard setback for I an accessoty structure. The petitioner is requesting approval to construct a detached garage two feet eight inches from the side property line when ten feet is required. Mr. Ringwald indicated staff has discussed the variance request with the petitioner. Staff informed I the petitioner of the staff recommendation for denial and the conclusions supporting that recommendation. Staff-suggested to the petitioner that they take advantage of the legal non- I conforming status of the existing garage, rather than apply for a variance. The petitioner informed staff that they preferred to apply for a variance. Mr. Ringwald reviewed the conditions for a variance. I Mr. Ringwald reported the lot configuration is rectangular in shape, it is 100 feet in width and 213 . I feet in depth. Therefore, staff concludes that the lot does not have an unusual configuration, and may also have four feet more than they realize. I Mr. Ringwald indicated staff concludes that the lot does not contain unusual terrain which would prohibit reasonable development of the lot. I Mr. Ringwald reported the existing garage is a two car garage, is a legal non-eonfomring use, and subject to Section IX of the Zoning Ordinance. The existing garage may receive ordinary repairs, I maintenance, and interior remodeling pursuant to Section IX, subpart E. Staff would conclude that the existing two car garage provides for a reasonable accessory structure to this property. Also, staff would conclude that reasonable alternative sites for a new garage exist on the site. I Mr. Ringwald indicated staff recommends denial of the side yard setback Variance in Planning Case 95-19, based on the following: I , The lot does not possess an unusual configuration. 1. 2. The lot does not possess unusual terram which would prohibit reasonable I development. , The existing two car garage provides for a reasonable accessory structure. j. 4. The lot contains reasonable alternate sites for a new garage, and an economic I hardship does not exist. . I I I --- > ... ',.. --r- - - -~ - ~i./'~ i I . Planninl! Commission iVlinutes Pa2:e 5 08/02195 I Mr. Ringwald nmed this application was receiv.ed prior to July 1, 1995 and does not have a specmc deadline for action by tile City. .. I A . . Chair Erickson inquired if lheapplicant could increase the garage as long as the nonconforming portion is not augmented. Mr. Ringwald indicated this was correct, ind staff reels a variance is not I necessary. YIr. Ringwald read Section'IX, Subpart I. regarding. nonconforming uses. . Commissioner Sand inquired ir lhe exact locanon of garage as it relates to the side property line is I known'; Mr. Ringwald indicated tbere has not been a survey, so it is nm known. Mr. Doug Swanson, 3232 New Brighton Road, the applicant provided the Planning CommiSSIOn I with a wrinen presentation regarding their request. He noted they understand the need for building ordinance. However, tiley fuel that replacing an agmg garage VVlth a more improved structure on the existing site would only serve to enhance lhe property, nO! detract from It. The ten root setback I ordinance does nm seem reasonable given the existing site, conditions surrounding it and economic differences. I Mr. Swanson indicated he is unable 10 use lhe current garage, it is 20 feet by 20 feet and his truck does not fit in the garage. He noted the structure is aging rapidly, the wiring is outdated, there is no I - insulauon, one garage door opens with great difficulty, the other does not open at ail, the roof needs to be replaced, the floor is crumbling, and the entire fuundation is sinking. I Commissioner Larson asked for c1arrlication of the size of structure the applicant wishes to construct. Mr. Swanson noted the dimensions would be 22 feet by 32 feet. I Mr. Swanson also noted if the structure is put at the current setback the edge would obstruct the view from his living room window I CommiSSIOner Larson inquired if the applicanl could adjust the building to the nonh. \;[r. Swanson indicated it still would obstruct tile view from the living room window. I Commissioner Rye gave an example of a design that would nm encroach or add to the nonconforming wall, but would add depth to one side of the garage, he inquired if the applicanr would be able to use lhis design. Mr. Swanson indicated there is a grade change to the north and it would be diffiC'..llt, I although possible, but it was his understanding that he could nO! alter the existing structure. ,.:e ''...,....:r.:...'7'...:SSiC;-:-=~S ::e:c ':lSC;,,;,SSi(:", -:n ";.J.T::OU:::i- cp~:(:r:s .l\':J.ll.lC:2: .2'::-:' .;;:sc.;.;:::s ;-;::;;:.:.:c.:=-:; ::...:-:::::.;:-:::;-::-...:.-'":; I uses.

I Commissioner McGraw read the City- code regarding variances, and reminded the applicant the I Planning Commission must establish findings in.order to grant a variance. He reminded the applicant the Planning Commission is only an advisory board and all decisions are final with the City Council. I Commission. Carlson motioned, seconded by Sand to table Case 95-19 until the receipt ofa survey of the I property at 3232 New Brighton Road. , Commissioner Rye inquired as to the necessity of a survey. Chair Erickson indicated the survey I would establish lhe correct property lines and could prove beneficial to the City and to the applicant in obtaining options to the variance. The motion carried (4-2, Commissioners Rye and McGraw opposed). I COUNCIL REPORT I Community Development Director Ringwald briefly reviewed the actions of the City Council - I Planning Case 95-15, CSM PUD - Approved Planning Case 95-16, Balfany Preliminary Plat - was referred back 10 the Planning I Commission for further review and research of acceptable alternatives.

I DEADLINE FOR AGENCY ACTIONS Community Development Director Ringwald noted as was indicated earlier in the meeting, there is I now a requirement for the City to act within certain time limits on applications He noted if an application is not acted upon within the time limit, It is automatically approved. I Mr. Ringwald indicated the City has 10 days from the time an application is received to provide to the applicant a list of anything needed by staff for a complete application, and then there is a 60 day I time limit for action, a 60 day extension can be given ifwrirten reason is given to the applicant. .

Planning for the Future .1 August 4, 1995 I Dennis Probst Mayor I City of Arden Hills 3395 Lake Johanna Blvd. Arden Hills, MN 55112- 7936 I Dear Mayor Probst: The Metropolitan Livable Communities Act of 1995 laid the basis for a new pmtnership between the I Metropolitan Council and the communities which make up our region. This partnership is aimed at cleaning up polluted lands, increasing the supply of affordable and lifecycle housing where new job growth is highest, I and providing incentives to test models of more compact, transit-oriented development and re-development. Achieving these regional goals depends much on how well all of us can communicate as we implement each I portion of the law. To ensure maximum conununication, we have three steps in mind: first, to hold regional briefings for local government officials and staff. Dates and times are listed below: August 16 - Shoreview City Hall, 7 p.m. I August 17 - Dakota County Western Service Center, Apple Valley, 7 p.m. August 22 - Metropolitan Council Chambers, St. Paul, 7 p.rn. .1 August 23 - Minnetonka City Hall, 7 p.m. September - Staff Forums (dates to be announced) Second, we are forming staff teams within the Council to meet with each conununity or clusters of I conununities to develop mutually agreeable housing goals. Through a separate process, we are designing an application and scoring system to distribute funds for polluted site clean-ups. Third, we will continue to work with representative organizations which have a strong interest in this law. I We have already consulted the Association of Metropolitan Municipalities (AMM) about housing goals guidelines. Many mayors and council members were active through the AMM in getting this legislation I enacted, and we are committed to continuing this cooperative relationship. We are also consulting with as many legislators as possible as we move through these implementation steps. Council responsibilities in this new pmtnership will be carried out principally by Craig Rapp, Director of the I Community Development Division, whom many of you know as a former city manager in this region, most recently at Brookl)'ll Park. I hope you will feel welcome to contact him, or Jim SolelIl, the Regional I Administrator, with any suggestion you have. Sincerely, I ~~ I . , Curt Johnson Chairman .

Request I Bethel College is requesting the City facilitate the transfer of that part of the Hamiine Avenue Service Drive adjacent to their campus from the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MN DOT) to Bethel College. I Backl!:round The Hamline Avenue service drive runs parallel to Hamiine Avenue (State Highway 51) from I Bethel Drive to the railroad tracks, North to South respectively. The service drive is currently in very poor condition. The service drive provides access only to Bethel College property. The College wishes to obtain ownership of the service drive so that they may maintain it in an .e acceptable condition. The Hamline A venue Service drive also provides for an uncontrolled access to the College, as it is I a public street. The uncontrolled access has been and is a security issue for the College. Currently, the College has a Gate House off of Snelling Avenue and closes the access off to Bethel Drive from Hamline A venue after dark. If the College were to obtain the service drive, I then they would be able to control access to the College from it. The Process I Staff has had preliminary discussions with staff from MN DOT regarding this request. MN DOT has indicated a willingness to transfer ownership of the Hamiine A venue service drive. However, I MN DOT cannot transfer ownership of a roadway to a private entity MN DOT can transfer ownership to the City, which in turn, can transfer ownership to private entity. Therein, lies Bethel College's request that the City act as facilitator to the transfer of land from MN DOT to Bethel I College. Action Requested I Staff is requesting City Council concurrence to allow the City to act as facilitator between MN DOT and Bethel College as it relates to the Hamline Avenue service drive adjacent to the College. .

Acquisition of this road by Bethel will greatly enhance the ability of Bethel to control access to this portion of our campus and allow for better security. In addition, the road is in bad shape due to I the lack of maintenance by the State. If Bethel owned this road we will be willing to maintain the road. . Thank you for consideration of this request.

'; 19~J' JULY 15, 1995 Members present: Craig Andresen, Frank Blasiak, Jim " Dommel , LeEtta I Flicker, George Gregori, Molly Grove, Jan Heaberlin, Dorothy McClung, Terry Nagle, John Ostlund, Dennis Probst, Marsha Soucheray, Dick Wedell, David Bartholomay, Gary Bloedel, Hal I Freshley, Lowell Johnson,Ray McGraw,Julie Trude, Kent Peterson, Terry Reuther, and Kay Welsch. Members absent: Scott Adams, Jim Holte, John Hustad, Nancy Nagler, I Diane Wuori, Robert DeRoy, Darrell Edwards, Col. Gary LeBlanc, James Olson, Dave Reimer, and David Wentworth. I The meeting was called to order by Dick Wedell. The minutes were moved. The fourth page, first paragraph, fifth sentence was amended to read, "Some meetings were targeted to a I certain population such as seniors, business people and those with low-incomes." The minutes were approved as amended. I DISCUSSION OF PACKETS: Molly Grove went through the packets that were distributed to the committee members. She thanked the city of Arden Hills, Land 0' I. Lakes, and H.B. Fuller for their generous assistance in copying the packets. She informed the audience that the packets contained all the material that has been distributed to the committee members over the course of their meetings. The packets are available to the . public at the City Halls of Mounds View, Arden Hills, Shoreview, and New Brighton, as well as at the Ramsey County libraries in the vicinity. I Molly Grove told the committee that Congressman Vento, Dennis Probst, Dick Wedell, and Mike Fix met with the press on Friday, I July 14 to discuss the details surrounding the TCAAP conversion. She described the press briefing as educational to ensure that the press is well-informed on the committee's work and the process of excessing the property. I The agenda was moved. The ACCP presentation was moved before the Arden Hills Task Force presentation and the OPUS corporation I presentation was struck. The agenda was approved as amended. OLD BUSINESS: ALLIANT TECHSYSTEMS: I Alliant Techsystems presented their latest information about the Quantity Distance Arcs. Wayne Gilbert distributed a map showing the most recent arcs, and he informed the committee that a newer I version will be available soon. I. ACCP: The Arsenal Clean-up and Conversion Project presented information I __ _________ _______ nn_____ ______ _ _ _______________ I about their community meetings. Kay Welsch, a member of the A~CP _ I and an alternate to the committee, introduced Sacha Peterson, a facilitator for ACCP. Ms. Peterson reported to the committee that I the ACCP has held eight meetings to date, and are planning on five to ten more meetings. The meetings focus on the needs, concerns and dreams that community members have for the arsenal property. Sacha I told the committee that meeting attendees have focused on several themes in the meetings: mUlti-use, open space, diversity (racial & ethnic, income, age), integration, public transportation, .other forms of transportation (bicycle & walking paths), community, and I creativity of design. Sacha discussed the demographics of the community surrounding the I arsenal. One-third of renters in the area pay more than 30% of thEdr income in housing costs. The area is lacking in jobs, and is lagging behind the Southern suburbs in job creation. Sacha told the committee that several recommendations came out of I the committee meetings. These recommendations included: creating diversified housing, utilizing creative land use and urban design, I strengthening community identity, providing better public transportation, preserving open space, increasing the availability of living wage jobs, and encouraging citizen participation. I Frank Blasiak asked what specific types of transportation were being referred to in the recommendations. Sacha said that this . question was still being researched, however, people in the I meetings reported interest in busing, biking, and walking. Dick Wedell informed the committee that the MTCO is letting go 300- I 400 drivers and the Roseville circular is operating with negative cash flow. He suggested that the committee needs to keep in mind the costs associated with the proposals that are before them. Any I proposals should be self-sustaining. ARDEN HILLS PLANNING TASK FORCE: Brian Fritsinger and Joyce Levin (a project manager with the . Camiros consulting firm hired by Arden Hills), gave a presentation on several preliminary re-use possibilities developed by the task force. The task force has created four different "concept" maps, I each of which maximize a specific aspect of possible land re-use. In these concept maps, they have identified a re-use and taken it to its furthest possible extent, in an attempt to quantify the I results of each type of development. Mr. Fritsinger showed the committee a map which laid out the protected areas of the arsenal which would not be considered I developable. These areas are wetlands, Kames, nesting sites for endangered species, and critical habitat areas. These protected sites were not varied from one "concept map" to another, but I remained open space in each. The protected areas cover about 40% of the arsenal. ~ Several assumptions were made in relation to the possible re-use I I ---------- I I . proposals. The first assumption was that Hamline Avenue would not run through the protected areas. Instead, the bulk of traffic would I proceed on Lexington Avenue. The second assumption was that the state agencies that are currently located at the arsenal would remain on the property. The third assumption was that Alliant I Tech's operations would move off-site in the future, or into any possible future commercial development areas on TCAAP. The fourth assumption was that the National Guard operation would not move. I The first re-use map that was presented was a residential concept. This map included extensive areas of single family low-density, single family medium-density, and mUlti-family housing units. I Industrial and commercial development areas would be located on the HWY 10 side. I Terry Reuther told the committee that he was strongly opposed to a golf course that was shown on this map, as golf courses are an environmental threat. Ms. Levin reminded Mr. Reuther that the maps were a preliminary idea of possible re-use and that the golf course I was only one of many options that could be explored for that particular area. Mr. Fritsinger told the committee that any fertilizer run-off from a golf course would be remediated. I Frank Blasiak said that New Brighton and Mounds View have golf courses, and that ball fields are in great demand. These types of . uses should be looked at before a golf course. I The area which now has fourteen abandoned houses was shown in the residential concept map as a "Special Opportunity" area. This I designation implies that the area has special features that are not readily zoned for specific purposes, and should be given flexibility for possible special re-use opportunities. I Matt Fulton asked Ms. Levin the estimated amount of people this particular re-use plan would bring to the city of Arden Hills. Ms. Levin estimated that it would bring 7000 people to the city. I The second proposed re-use map was a "Town Center" concept. This map included a large area off Hwy 10 which would be developed as a I town center area. This area could consist of municipal buildings, businesses, theaters, restaurants, or amphitheaters. The purpose of this area would be to increase the sense of community and to be a I focal point for the community. This area would attract many people for entertainment and civic events. The third proposed re-use map was an "Office/Industrial" concept. I The main focus of this re-use plan utilizes the railway connections that exist on the arsenal to create a large, thriving industrial area. Ms. Levin estimated that this type of industrial development I would create 8 million square feet of industrial space, translating to 30,000 jobs. I_Frank Blasiak told the committee that it was important to include an historical center in each possible re-use pla~ that it I I considers. The community should be reminded of the arsenal's .1 background, and how it came to be such a unique property. Mr. Fritsinger said that an interpretive site was a part of each re-use I plan being presented. Ms. Levin estimated that there are 50,000 jobs in the Southwest I suburbs, more than the total population, and that these jobs paid for the infrastructure of these communities. Julie Trude told the committee about an industrial park in Mounds I View that was low-impact and an enhancement to the tax base of the city as an example of the type of possible future industrial development for TCAAP. I Matt Fulton reminded the committee that it needs to consider where the CEO's of these ne~~ companies are going to live, because I executive housing needs to be available near industrial areas to attract business. The fourth re-use map that was shown to the committee was the "Open. I Space" re-use plan. This map included almost 75% of the available land remaining as open space. Marsha Soucheray asked if there was a possibility to create I clustered housing in this type of re-use plan, to maximize the open spaces. Ms. Levin told the committee that the task force was still . I researching different possibilities for housing stock. LeEtta Flicker said that she thought it was important to include a cross-section of housing for different income levels. Ms. Levin I indicated that the high-density housing is more easily adapted for lower-income housing. Ms. Levin told the committee that the contaminated sites were I included in the open spaces of this proposal in order to ensure that development in o_ther areas can proceed around the major clean- I up areas. An audience member asked the committee why there needs to be any development on the site, since it is a unique site which cannot be I duplicated elsewhere in the vicinity. He suggested that when the land becomes available, the fences be taken down and the land left as it is now. Dick Wedell said that the land is going to be I excessed and that the land is going to be sold or transferred to someone. It is important that the community have a say in what type of uses occur on the land, and that a plan be prepared for the I eventual disposal. Molly Grove explained to the audience what the committee has been doing and how the Arden Hills Task Force is a separate group which . is bringing its recommendations to the committee in order to share some of its research and findings. . Dennis Probst told the committee that the city is planning to I I I I- research the impact of each scenario and bring those findings to the next meeting. He told the committee that he envisions the final I re-use plan to be a combination of many of the proposals before the committee. I Dorothy MCClung told the committee and audience that the City of Aden Hills is holding an open house on July 27th at 6:00 PM at the Army Reserve Center. This meeting has been advertised on the cable . access channel and in the local newspapers. Marsha SO\lcheray asked the committee if it would be possible to leave the property in its current state. Ms. Levin said that this I is probably not a realistic option, since it would be an expensive proposal that would not generate much income. The site is currently wholly supported by the federal government, including security, I electricity, gas, water, and all other utilities. When the site turns over to new owners, the City of Arden Hills will undertake all of these functions. The site will need to be self-sufficient to ensure that it is .not an undue strain on the surrounding I communities. Dennis Probst reminded the committee that the arsenal already has I several million square feet of buildings at present, and they might not all be subject to demolition. The arsenal is not strictly open space today, and the "Open space" proposal would wipe out only 30- .- 40% of the standing buildings. Dick Wedell asked the committee if it had any reactions to the proposals put before it. Julie Trude emphasized that the committee I should look at market forces as a deciding factor in the final re- use plan. One plan could potentially create more clean-up requirements than another, which would lengthen the process. She I asked the committee whether it would be prudent to narrow the vision at this point, given that our elected officials need a specific plan to proceed. I Craig Andresen told the committee that he was pleased to see the cirtical areas protected in the city's plans, and that he supports something in line with the "Open Space" proposal. He has met with I other representatives of other closed sites who indicated that in their experience the Army listened to their recommendations. If the state or county were to take control of the site and the commercial I land were to be leased, Mr. Andresen said there could be adequate revenue to leave the majority of the land as open space. He emphasized his optimism at seeing the protection of important I environmental sites in the other plans; however, he mentioned that the other plans that they had presented would limit the scope of the wildlife currently present on the site. I The committee decided that it would revisit the land-use proposals at the next meeting, when it has had time to review the proposals - presented by the task force. Brain Fritsinger told the committee I that he would distribute copies of each map at the next meeting. I . - ------ -- - ______n_____ ________ I I Dennis Probst said that the committee needs to move ahead quickly ~ in order to finish the plan by October. I Molly Grove asked that the committee members look over the packets that were distributed and that they notify her if there were any , corrections or additions that need to be made. COMMUNITY WIDE MEETINGS: The committee discussed when to begin the community wide meetings. I Dick Wedell suggested that the committee should have a preliminary plan ready in order to have something for the public to critique. The following people agreed to be on the sub-committee in charge of I preliminary recommendations for the plan: Craig Andresen, LeEtta Flicker, Dennis Probst, George Gregori, Molly Grove, Terry Nagle, Dick Wedell, Jan Heaberlin, Marsha soucheray, and Frank Blasiak. I RESTORATION ADVISORY BOARD: Mike Fix told the committee that he met with the mayors of the I surrounding communities and several county commissioners in order to discuss the formation of the Restoration Advisory Board. The board will be a sounding board for the community on the environmental clean-up of TCAAP. He emphasized that the board is I not a re-use committee, but is simply an advisory board which will gather public comment. ~ PUBLIC COMMENT: , - Keep in mind the number of people who have told ACCP and other community groups that they are interested in preserving open space . and recreation areas. Julie Trude asked if there would ever be a situation in which the land is transferred at no cost. Molly Grove said that she would , bring more information about this type of land transfer to the next meeting. She said that there are certain cases where a clear transfer can be made for open spaces. I - Keep in mind that the public can be easily confused by the different names of the groups that are working on this issue. I Perhaps Congressman Vento's office can create a list of those groups working on the issue and keep it updated through the process.

This letter is in regards to recent telephone conversations between your office and John Horsch of my office, as to the City of Arden Hills' proposed assessment against the above referenced property for the proposed improvement on County F. After careful I review by my staff, we have determined that your proposed improvement does not benefit our property. Therefore, the Minnesota Department of Transportation will not be making any assessment payments for the subject improvement. I We have requested advice from the Attorney General's Office as to the application of Minn. Stat. ~3.754 and Minn. Stat. ~435.19, subd. 2 to this case. We were informed I that any proposed assessment against state property must first be made in accordance with ~435.19, subd. 2, under which state departments and agencies are left with the discretion to determine the measure of benefit to their public propeny. No assessment I can be "due" under ~435.l9, subd. 2, unless a department or agency determines that their public property will be benefited by a specific amount with the proposed improvement. If a department or agency determines that their public property was I benefited by a particular amount, then ~3. 754 can arguably be applied to compel state departments and agencies to pay for the amount determined to be the benefit.

Financial Rc:view: Terry Post noted that he had sold the Piper Instih11ional Government I Fund on June 9. Despite all the problems with the fund, the City has realized a better- than money market return of 4.33% since purchase in late 1991. I Terry reviewed the City of Arden Hills Investment Policy. He recommended that the types of suitable investments be greatly narrowed from that which are now permissible. A new written proposal will be submitted for review at the next meeting of the Finance I Committee. Chuck Mertensouo led a discussion regarding water meter replacement funding - a one I time charge or a charge spread out over time. Terry will ask for a RFQ in writing from meter companies to try to more specifically pin down the cost of the project.

Mayor Dennis Probst \-\\t\S:; I Village of Arden Hills 1450 West Highway 96 Arden Hills, MN 55112 I Dear Mayor Probst: I As a 34 plus year resident of Arden Hills and former Planning Commission member I take a keen interest in property and land development within the community. The Council has certainly done it's "due diligence" work as relates to the property I controlled by Dan Ogren. I have only been able to attend one of the hearings. It is very apparent to me the matter should be brought to a close and Ogren allowed to proceed with his planned development I The delaying tactics of those in opposition to his plan, as reported in both major and minor newspapers, have gone from "sublime to ridiculous" and the Council needs to I bring this to a screeching halt and get on with their business. .- The next item on the agenda of the opposition will probably be an Earthworm Search for some exotic species long suspected of being on an endangered list since 1933. At the hearing I attended I was amazed to hear him personally vilified and torn to I pieces. The conduct of some in opposition to this plan has been outstandingly poor and their testimony filled with outright lies and half truths -- especially as to his character, his background, and the quality of his developments. I've found it I disgusting. I would encourage you to approve this fine development on his land as it is the best I possible use of same, and then to continue on with the other business of the Village. Thank you for your service. I Yours truly, I .~::=: \\;\,.L~ I Rog~r D. Moberg ~.. I Ie I ------------ I I The Town Crier I I News and Events of Arden Hills August, 1995 What's in Many Arden Hills residents recognize the name "Town Crier". It first appeared on I May 6, 1966, when Issue Number 1 was published by The Arden Association, Inc. a name? This was a voluntary organization: the newsletter was funded by donations of $2.00 a I year by each member family! The Association continued to fund and publish the newsletter until October of 1974, when voluntary donations would no longer support the effort. The City, recognizing the value of the newsletter, assumed the cost of publishing and distributing the newsletter and, after I a brief hiatus, is doing so again. Arden Hills has changed in many ways since the original .newsletter. The question is, "Should we keep the name, or change to an updated moniker?" We have heard both views. If you feel strongly either way, let us know. I To be or not Why does this publication exist? It is meant to be a source of information about the news and happenings in Arden Hills; a newsletter where you can read about I to be... city meetings, plans under consideration, decisions made by the City, and sometimes just information of general interest to Arden Hills residents. The views expressed are I t necessarily those of the City: they exercise no "censorship" over the contents. It is certainly reasonable that lcial views of the city be expressed, as they potentially affect all of us. However, opposing views and even occasional outright dissention can be healthy for the governing process! We do not envision a lot of glitz, we'll I try to concentrate on content. Throw me The Town Crier is being "re-floated" with this issue. We need members for the I a line!!! Newsletter Committee: not just to fill the pages, but to make sure we cover all important issues and fairly represent the views of all Arden Hills residents. There is a Neighbors of Valentine Lake Association and a group dedicated to exploring I issues and opportunities regarding the Twin City Army Ammunition Plant (TCAAP, referred to as Tea-Cap). Are there others? (At one time there were "area captains" who reported happenings and viewpoints from their I ; neighborhoods.) We need to hear from you regularly. In addition to reports or minutes of City Council, Planning Commission, and School Board meetings, it would be valuable to have people share their observations and opinions. Let us know if you can help. I Hot Since the last newsletter, Arden Hills has a new City Administrator: Brian Topics! Fritsinger. Brian has been with the city for a total of two years, starting as I Community Planning Coordinator and becoming City Administrator effective 2/1/95. He has already found himself in the hot seat on a number of issues. Not surprisingly, some of these issues appear on Brian's list of most urgent issues for the city to address. I There seems little middle ground on the issue of the Ogren Townhome development Townhomes proposed for the NE corner of County Road E2 &; Old Snelling. Dan Ogren, I or Wildlife? Bethel College, the seller of the property, and the Planning Commission ran into a "land swell" of opposition from the surrounding neighborhoods. Despite neighborhood I I protests, well-spoken, reasoned opposition, expressions of environmental concern, and the developer not having I revised plans per previous commission direction, the plan was passed on to the City Council with a reco=endation for approval. It seems that City maps told two stories: the zoning map showed residential I zoning, but some land use maps indicated dedicated open space. Residents, having thought there was a commitment to keep the area wild, felt deceived and angry. They formed the Neighbors of Valentine Lake association and are fighting back. They feel their organized efforts encouraged the Environmental I Assessment Worksheet that the City Council has ordered. The neighbors hope for a "knockout punch" that will preserve the area, seen by many as a key wildlife/wetlands corridor. Dan Ogren insists he will develop the property, if not as townhomes as detached homes. Ogren has revised the original plans and resubmitted I them to the Planning Committee. The Environmental Assessment Worksheet is completed, and the 30 day public comment period has begun. Opponents feel the worksheet's fmdings are short-sighted and incomplete, and are marshalling forces to present, through written co=entary, what they feel are pressing concerns. Their I hope is to stop the development, or at least to force a more thorough investigation of the impacts. Next review at Planning Commission September 6. Stay tuned! County Road F, from Highway 35W to Old Snelling is being turned over to Arden I Paved with Hills by Ramsey County. The problem? The road has served as a torture test for any good intents? vehicles traveling this route. Ramsey County was willing to resurface, but engineers felt I this would be a short-term band-aid over a seriously deteriorated roadbed. A total reconstruction is in process. Residents along the road felt the cause of deterioration and benefactors of I reconstruction are primarily Ryder Transportation and Mounds View High School with their associated heavy vehicles and traffic, that the sidewalk and total road width proposed were unnecessary and unwanted, and the residential $31.95 per frontage foot assessment is inappropriate. City officials contend this is comparable to I similar road reconstruction in the city in recent years, and that the lion's share of the actual costs are being born by Ramsey County and State of Minnesota funding. THE RECONSTRUGrION IS A FIASCO, in the eyes of many local residents. City Administrator, Brian Fritsinger, drives the route to work each morning to see ifhe I can get through so he can judge the calls he will receive and need to make; Council Member Beverly Aplikowski has waded through calf-deep mud from her mired auto; at times there has been no access to a I neighborhood of 150 houses for any vehicles, even emergency vehicles, prompting complaint to the Sheriffs Department; individual homes have been without power, water, and access all at the same time. Let's hope the City Engineer, who is supposedly overseeing this project, gets his act together SQQll, especially with the Perry I Park project due to start! TCAAP Everyone seems to want a piece (or all!) of the old arsenal land. This property is I Land Rush? a part of Arden Hills, and the city is working to keep it that way. Arden Hills has hired a consultant, Camiros, Ltd., to help assure that Arden Hills continues to playa lead role in the disposition of the Twin City Army Ammunition Plant. The city is I advising Congressman Bruce Vento's committee, and has targeted September 1 for completion of a formal plan for the property. This will be just the start: the planning will become an on-going process .until there is I actual disposition of the property. (While the State has control over expansion of gambling sites and Arnie Carlson is Governor, there is little likelihood of a Casino. This could change if current proposal to give Federal Government jurisdiction over gambling is enacted.) It seems local consensus is that residents want more Arden I Hills as we know it: wooded areas and privacy but not huge parklands, appropriate light co=ercial and office to enhance the tax base but bufferred from homes, and more of the types of housing now in the co=unity. Next Task Force Meetings August 16 & 24. I I u I I Key City Several key issues are to be faced in the next six months. As mentioned, one of these, beginning immediately, is TCAAP. Another is total review of City Codes and Issues Ordinances,Some are outmoded, occasionally they conflict with one another, and I they do not represent a true. Cl'>!Ilprehensive Plan to guide governance and growth. The changes may help eliminate misunderstandings like that which fueled the County Road E2 Townhome brouhaha. (Some residents would like to see a.buffer'zone around wetlands included; today there is none.) I Did you know that Arden Hills is a debt-free city; one of very few? We have a Money history of conscientious fiscal stewardship by our officials. Of local property taxes, I Matters! only 13.3% goes to the City. We remain solidly in the lowest 113 of cities ranked by capacity rate. The city faces difficult decisions beginning in the next six months. Arden I Hills currently receives no State LGA aid to Cities. If the Novak bill is enacted basing aid on home values, we will likely go negative, with our tax dollars being given to other cities! If the legislature enacts the property tax freeze, it will further restrict the City's ability to issue bonds to support development. Some difficult I decisions lie ahead. The big, We hear some City Hall residents and visitors would welcome him if he could truly I huff and puff and blow the building down. The process has started to address major bad wolf physical problems and cost issues related to the City buildings. The roof leaks and there is bug infestation in the carpet in City Hall, and there are ventilation problems in I the Public works building. Meetings are held in New Brighton's City Hall for lack of adequate facilities. Visitors in the spring are treated to a dousing with water when they open the front door (hardly a way to I lcome potential new neighbors or businesses). Furniture needs replacement due to age and to the need for an gonometrically correct workplace - this is past due, but has been delayed because new furniture faces water damage from the leaky roof. The City needs to decide how much to spend on a building that has become too I small for the City's needs and is of limited future value. Maybe the vision of a new facility on TCAAP property is too indefmite for realistic planning. I New HOM Leather and Oak Furniture has expressed a strong desire to relocate their Neighbors? corporate office to 12 acres at the northeast comer of 35W and 694. The new facility would include a distribution center to serve all their stores, and an attached retail I sales area. They don't fit what some envision as the "ideal" corporate facility, something more like Land 0' Lakes. However, there are far fewer of those ideal facilities being built today, I HOM is interested now, and they would provide and additional $250,000 to the tax base. One problem is that Everest, the developer who partnered with Arden Hills on this site, reportedly was unwilling even to communicate with HOM. HOM came to the City Council to express their frustration, and it seems most I Council Members shared the feeling. The relationship with Everest was terminated and HOM is now dealing directly with the city. The remaining problem: the total site for current and future development is basically a cul-de-sac with the only entrance (at Highway 96 near 35W) able to support limited tctal traffic. I Some still question if HOM is one of the right pieces for this development puzzle. It Could With decisions pending on planning and growth issues (and with some frustrations I surfacing regarding the process), it is interesting to think of what Arden Hills might Have Been... have been like had previous Planners and Council Members made different choices in I the early years of city development. The NW comer of 35W & E2, overlooking Farrell ake, could have first been a gas station, then a 5 story hotel. The NE corner of New Brighton Rd & Co Rd E might have been a 234 unit apartment. Surrounding Valentine Hills School, from the Soo Line tracks to E2 I I and from Old Snelling to 35W was first proposed for 978 apartments, plus townhouses and a commercisl I development, then later for 295 small townhomes, rejected, in part, because of their plywood exteriors. First townhomes, then apartments were proposed for Co Rd F between the bus barn and Valentine Lake. Many of I living in Arden Hills would not have located here had these early proposals been accepted, defining a much different community than what we enjoy today. City Council Recent City Council Action: Approved pay equity plan for city workers, bringing I City in compliance with Pay Equity Act. Appointed Don Messerly to the Park and Activity Recreation Committee. Approved renewal of charitable gambling permit for I ABW A Ladyslipper Chapter at F1aherty's; Tabled renewal for St.Mary's Romanian Orthodox Church at Ramada due to unanswered questions and no-show of representative. Supported changes in Ramsey County's prioritization that would allow NYFS to obtain funds. Approved RLK I Associates to perform EA W for Ogren Townhome project, over developer contention it could be done with fewer services for less; City wants representation in case of protest. Assessment Roll fmalized for County Road F improvements; sidewalks, roadway width, and assessments. Thanked Mr. C.E.Sheehy and Mr. James I Shacker for their donation to City of wetland area on Ridgewood Road. Approved minor sub-division of Control Data property.

Transferred $100,000 from General Fund to newly-created TCAAP Special Revenue Fund. Continued discussion on drainage problems at 4360 Haniline Ave - no agreement yet on right solution. Questioned if City has fee title from I developers to all parks used to fulf1l1 Park Dedication, directed staff to investigate and pursue. Noted Arby's/Sbarro and a Grocery Chain are interested in building on the property north of Shannon Square on Lexington Ave. Noted that Dynamark has broken ground on new 32,000 square foot facility per approve I site plan. Approved plans for street sealcoating, overlay, and reconstruction. Approved appointment of Craig Wilson to Public SafetylWorks Committee, and Ray McGraw to the Planning Commission (for Barb Piotrowski while she takes a leave of absence). I I New I Two new people have joined the Arden Hills staff. Kevin Ringwald is the new I Faces! Community Development Director. Dwayne Stafford is the new Public Works Superintendent. Both individuals bring strong backgrounds and experience to their new positions with the city. Welcome aboard. I Opportunities The city has been fortunate to have dedicated, qualified people serve on its committees. This is often "where the action is." if you are interested, contact the city about current I to Participate openings. One of the current needs is for a Planning Commission member to replace Dave Carlson while he takes a leave of absence from his committee duties. There are also openings on the Economic Development and Human Rights Committees. I Big S in Of local property taxes, 49% goes direct1y to School District 621, with part of the I money now paying SI,26O,000 levied without referendum! This is only l2lll1 of the District 621 cost of a ten year contract with Honeywell for equipment and services, some of the purchase guaranteed by savings in energy consumption. The contract is for almost I SI0,000,000, without any competitive bid activity! Honeywell guarantees almost $400,000 per year will be recouped through reduced energy costs, but additionally charges about $270,000 a year to maintain the equipment. The District has committed to reduce operating costs it controls by S5,626,600 over the te . I years of the contract, and agrees to reallocate these dollars to Honeywell. The District agreed these "operational costs avoided" exist, that the dollar amount is fair, and that the District is solely responsible for the I -------- I I controlli~g these avoided costs. There is no provision for revisiting these contractual commitments, but it would seem fair that the District set up an audit system to assure that it is actually reducing its internal penditures by the dollar amount it pays to Honeywell. It makes sense that the District should be held I accountable for its commitment on behalf of and to all members of District 621. It should identify the line items in the General and Capital Funds that are reduced in amounts equal to the Honeywell pay-out to assure the expenditures are not duplicated. If you agree, give Carl Colmark, Director of Finance for the District, or I Burt Nygren, Superintendent, (and both part of tJie team supporting the contract) a call. As a note, Superintendent Nygren pushed hard for the HoneywelllDistrict 621 "business/education partnership" and its I touted benefits for the District's students, yet there seems to have been precious little publicity on the actual results of this partnership. I One man's A note on curbside recycling: recently added to the materials that are recycled are trash is... aerosol cans and magazines. The City is negotiating for inclusion of non-corrugated cardboard (like soda pop cartons) which is not now accepted.
