I 2.. NSP Peak - Controlled Electric Services Agreement
This action is related to the ongoing retrofitting of the water utility

replacement and performed admirably.

. g. October 3. 1995. Letter From Midwest Asphalt
Midwest has requested the release of the $15,000 additional
. retainage held by the City. The company is working on resolving
claims, but do not appear to be moving very quickly on these
claims, Staff continues to receive phone calls from owner's whose
. vehicles were damaged while driving on County Road F. Most of
these calls focus on the lack of good faith by Midwest in resolving
the complaints. Staff has been encouraging these individuals to
. work through their insurance companies. Mr. Garski's claim has
been resolved,
. The Council should also be aware that the City has notified Liberty
Mutual that the fifty percent settlement at Valentine Park is
. unacceptable.
t'
.

of County Road F, Ms. Garski expressed concern that the walkway had not been striped for

be narrowed to accommodate the walking area,
Mr. Stonehouse indicated the striping had been done correctly, the six foot walkway would be
striped on schedule, by next spring.

Ms. Garski inquired as to the necessity for the center lane in front of the second turn lane, this lane .
is an exit only. Mr. Stonehouse indicated in the original plans this was to be an in/out access, but

. Bethel SWM Appeal
City Administrator Fritsinger reported during 1994, the City received an Appeal for the Surface
. Water Management (SWM) fees assessed to Bethel College, The City Council reviewed the Appeal
several times in late 1994 and 1995.
.- Mr. Stonehouse indicated this Appeal was based on a number of primary concerns:
.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - SEPTEMBER 25. 1995 4 -
I. Street and Highway right-of-way exemptions from SWM utility fees.
2, Lake Surface (Valentine exemptions from SWM fees).
3. Land Use Designation (SUP).
4, Amount of water retained within the Bethel College property.
Mr. Stonehouse'reported the area of Bethel College property within Lake Valentine should no longer
be assessed the SWM fees. He noted Staff reduced the SWM fees to reflect acreage associated with
Valentine Lake as directed by Council at their November 28 and December 28, 1994, meetings. But
this action was effective commencing with the fourth quarter in 1994, it did not make the Appeal
retroactive to the date of Appeal (April 1, 1994).
Mr. Stonehouse indicated the right-of-way and water retainage arguments were found not to be
appropriate in this case. However, there is still a question regarding land use or property
classification in this Appeal.
Mr. Stonehouse indicated the justifications for supporting the Appeal are:
I. Policy Statement
Except as herein after provided, all properties within the City of Arden Hills shall
contribute to the Surface Water Management Utility in an amount proportional to the -
runoff contributed by each particular parcel.
2, Computation of Surface Water Manag:ement Fees - subpara,l- Land Use
Land Use for determining Surface Water Management fees shall be the existing land
use at the date of enactment of the Surface Water Management Ordinance, As land
is developed, or redeveloped, the fees will be recomputed, based on the revised land
use.
-
3. Adiustment of Fees - subpara. 2
Surface Water Management fees will be adjusted under the following conditions:
-Changes in Developed Conditions of Parcels .
Mr. Stonehouse reported Attorney Filla concurred that in this situation the existing Special Use
Permit does not allow Bethel to build to the typical B 1 zoning standards. The existing SUP limits .
site coverage of buildings, drives, parking, walks and other surfaced areas to twenty five percent.
This limitation is most common with residential development limits. This SUP is a document which .
can be amended by the City at anytime. Should Bethel pursue amendments to the SUP in the future,
the City should consider amending the applicable rate in this case,
Mr. Stonehouse noted the cost of the Appeal would be in regard to the Valentine Lake, the original .
credit amount implemented for the fourth qnarter of 1994 was $2,943.35, If additional credit is -.
given for the second and third quarters the additional credit owed would be $5,886.70. In regard to
I
,
- ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - SEPTEMBER 25. 1995 5
the land use, if the rate were to be reduced from $50.75 to $11.94 retroactive to January I, 1995, the
overall credit would be $10,636.06.
Mayor Probst inquired as to the net acreage left after the credits. Mr. Fritsir:ger indicated it would
be approximately 168 acres.
Councilmember Malone indicated the City originally thought the calculations were correct, but the
evidence supports the justification for appeal in regard to Valentine Lake and Land Use issues.
Councilmember Malone agreed with the suggestion of the Engineer in crediting future accounts
rather than issuing a reimbursement check.
MOTION: Malone moved and Keirn seconded a motion to granting the Appeal on the basis of
the Lake Valentine area reduction retroactive to the 2nd Quarter of 1994 and land
usage being effective January 1,1995. Motion carried unanimously (3-0).
Mayor Probst inquired if an institutional classification could be established. Mr. Stonehouse
indicated in this case, no. Mayor Probst inquired if in the future, a new classification could be
- established. City Attorney Filla indicated this could be done in the future.
Resolution 95-65. Accepting Bid and Authorizing Execution of Contract in the Matter of the
Arden Manor Watermain Improvement of 1995.
City Administrator Fritsinger indicated the Council originally reviewed this item at its May 30,
1995, Council Meeting, where it gave direction to staff to proceed with discussions on a Connection
Agreement. At the June 12, 1995, meeting, the Council ordered the preparation of plans and
specifications for the project.
Mr. Fritsinger indicated the project was originally intended to be completed no later than September
I I, 1995. Due to the delays with the Department of Army in obtaining a final approval of funding
for the project, Staff was unable to proceed with the bidding of the project until recently.
I Mr. Fritsinger reported in order to move the project forward, City Attorney, Jerry Filla, has indicated
that the approval of the project with the suggested recommendations would be appropriate.
I Mr. Stonehouse indicated bids were opened on September 6, 1995, and he noted they were
somewhat high, due to the limited completion time requirements.
I Mayor Probst inquired if it is clear that the Anny will pay for the cost of the project. Mr. Fritsinger
indicated the agreement will be attached to the City documents and he felt there would be no major
.- problems in receiving reimbursement.
I
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - SEPTEMBER 25. 1995 6 -

approval.
Councilmember Malone inquired if work had begun, Mr. Fritsinger indicated it had not.
Councilmember Malone inquired if there is a pressure reducer in the line, Mr. Stonehouse indicated
no there is not, Arden Manor will be responsible for the pressure and any complications in regard
to the line.
City Attorney Filla inquired if there were any issues with Arden Manor regarding the pressure. Mr.
Stonehouse indicated he would like to meet or speak with them one more time to clarify this issue.
City Attorney Filla inquired as to the construction, and how late the construction could begin. Mr.
Stonehouse indicated as late as mid-November, and noting that general contractor Federal Cartridge
will be gone in late October. -

the following actions:

CITY OF ARDEN HILLS
e MEMORANDUM
DATE: October 6, 1995
TO: Brian Fritsinger, City Administrator
FROM: Terrance Post, City Accountant ~
Dwayne Stafford, Public Works uperinte
SUBJECT: NSP Peak - Controlled Electric Service Al!reement
Background
Staff has been analyzing the costlbenefit factors concerning phase II of the water utility booster
station alarm retrofit project. Staff has recommended going forward in three areas: (I) update
telemetry equipment to the Roseville pumps; (2) operationally reconfigure the service areas of
the two towers; and (3) take advantage ofNSP peak - controlled tiered rates. Staff has also
recommended not going forward with more efficient replacement pumps and motors because of
the extended payback period (50 years). Mr. Stafford's September 11, 1995 memo on this subject
discusses these issues in more detail.
. Off - Peak Implementation Requirements
To accomplish the objective of benefitting from NSP's reduced off peak rate structure, the City
of Arden Hills will have to formally enter into an "Electric Service Agreement for Peak -
Controlled Tiered Services". This five year agreement would essentially obligate the City to
control electrical loads to non-peak time limits (9:00 PM - 9:00 AM) and permit NSP up to 80
hours per calendar year of intentional interruptions of controlled demand. In return for satisfYing
these contract terms, the rate per kw would drop from the current peak rate of $7.49 to $4.43
(59% rate reduction).
Because of the operational changes previously referred to, complying with these service
agreement requirements should cause no operational or water customer concerns, Assuming the
agreement is executed, staff is estimating approximately $6,000 in annual cost savings to the
- water utility. Approximately $4,000 of those savings will be from reduced kw demand and the
I other $2,000 from the off-peak rate reduction.
Recommendation
I Staff recommends that Council consider directing staff to enter into a "Peak-Controlled Electric
Service Agreement" with Northern States Power Company (NSP) under consent at the regular
City Council meeting on October 10, 1995.

Dear Mayor Probst:
The Session of our church, which is the governing body of our church, has asked me to send this
letter to you (as well as to Congressman Bruce Vento) regarding our concern about the planning
~ underway for the future land use of the Federal Arsenal property in Arden Hills. We applaud you for
your efforts to look ahead in this matter. We think there is a strong need to provide for a significant
quantity of much-needed low and moderate income housing in that planning,
The people of our Twin Cities community, with the people all over our country, are suffering
from major societal problems which seem to be increasingly devastating to more and more of our
people. There are many elements to these problems, but housing is a key, We know that there is not
enough housing of reasonable quality in our metropolitan area that is available to the many people
who must live on a low or even moderate income, Furthermore, the existing housing supply that
these people can afford is overly-concentrated in l\Ilinneapolis and St. Paul, and often far from the
employment opportunities available, Suburban business itself is aware of this problem because they
often have difficulty hiring sufficient workers at their work locations.
I Planning the future land use for a federal arsenal presents a rare opportunity to do something on
a significant scale to meet real human needs. We ask that you bend every effort to this end!
I Sincerely,
Z:a~ a--

Fax: 612,644,9446 PROPOSED PROCESS
I Dear Council Members:
I On September 20, 1995, Terry Maurer and I met with City staff to discuss a proposal to
improve the City of Arden Hills' Pavement Management System (PMS) on future public
I improvement projects. Based upon feedback from the City Council, residents of recently
reconstructed streets in Arden Hills, and staff, we have attempted to develop a revised
process for use in future improvements. TIlls letter will summarize that process and outline
I a method and timeline for its implementation over the next year using the 1995 Pavement
CiVIL ENGINEERING re-rating as a starting point, and concluding with the completion of a 1996 Street
."IIRONM'NTAL Improvement Project.
I 'u\'IClFA'_
PLANNING Proposed Process
SOUD\,'/ASTE
I STRUCTURAL The revised PMS process should start with the re-rating of all streets within Arden Hills
SURVEV,\jG during October. This operation should occur on a three year basis, and has not been
TR,AfFIC completed since 1992. Based upon conversations with City staff, this work would be
I TRANSP8RTATION completed using a combination of MSA and public works staff. Following the initial
re-rating, MSA would update the computer fIles annually to move newly reconstructed,
ELEcnICAl/N,EC,ANICAl rehabilitated, overlaid, or seal coated streets to appropriate locations within the master
I ENGI\!::RI\!G street priority list.

Upon completion of the street annual re-rating/revision, staff would most likely request
I authorization to complete a feasibility study for those streets most in need of corrective
action, as outlined above. This feasibility study would be more general in nature than
recent studies, in an effort to give residents a basic idea of the various improvement
I options, costs, and benefits related to the various means of improvement. Following the
preparation of this report, MSA and staff would hold informational meetings with affected
property owners. It may be necessary to hold more than one meeting as residents not
I desiring street rehabilitation when proposed by the PMS, could ask that their streets be
delayed. In this situation, those streets would be moved to the bottom of the PMS priority
.FFICESIN: list and a follow-up informational meeting would be held for what we would classify as
I MINNEAPOLIS "second priority" streets.

In any case, the improved presentations at these hearings would provide residents with
. accurate information regarding their specific streets, as well as, the methodology used to
prioritize their street. The new process would involve the following steps:
. . Review latest Pavement Management Report and select streets to be
addressed.
. Periodically publish street ratings and long-term improvement plans.
. . Also select second priority streets for maintenance/reconstruction.
. Prepare preliminary report outlining street conditions, the City's PMS
program, and estimated costs associated with various means of
. rehabilitation.
. Prepare more "resident-friendly. and more informative multi-media hearing
. presentations with diagrams and slide presentations.
. Hold informational meeting with residents of first priority streets.
. Digest input from informational meeting and evaluate the need to add any
. second priority streets to the list.
. If necessary, hold a second priority informational meeting to gather further
.. input on secondary streets being considered for inclusion in the street
improvement project.
. Maintain an "input/action log" to track all input and allow the engineer and
staff to respond to all concerns presented at these meetings.
. . Compile and reduce this information for the public hearing.
. Prepare a more dynamic, multi-media presentation to achieve better resident
understanding of the projects and a more informative public hearing
. presentation.
. Following the informational meetings, staff would bring the list of streets to be improved
for the respective year to the City Council at a formal public hearing. At this point, staff
would have accumulated specific information from residents at informational meetings to
. present to the Council. In addition, the engineer and staff would have had the opportunity
to address many public questions, concerns, and other issues with residents prior to the
hearing in an effort to streamline the public improvement process. As an additional
. improvement, staff anticipates a revised cover letter to accompany any official notices, so
residents will find these mailings more understandable.
. Plan Preparation and Resident Input
Following the authorization of plans and specifications, MSA would initiate the distribution
. of the project "newsletters", which you may be familiar with. The initial publication would
serve the PUlJXlses of both soliciting input and informing residents that the engineer would
.. be conducting on-site "project walk-thru's. to gather further information. The purpose of
these steps in the process is to ensure that the final plans accurately reflect not only the
needs of the City, but the desires of residents as well. This portion of the project would
include;

. Completion of preliminary survey and creation of base maps to use in

. The addition of new items to the input/action log addressed above to ensure
issues are brought to the surface and addresses as required.
. . A summary list of input and associated actions to inform the City Council
of issues related to each project.
. Preparation of final plans.
.
Plans and specifications would be completed in February and the City could solicit bids
. earlier in the year in an effort to obtain the most competitive prices available, begin
construction in early spring, and allow for timely completion of construction during July
or August. We have prepared a project timeline that would allow for an assessment hearing
. in April, following the receipt of bids. The Council could award a project at that point,
or await the 30-day appeal period following an assessment hearing and award a project in
May. In either case, the enclosed proposed schedule allows "float" in several tasks in an
. effort to anticipate a worst case scenario. It is our expectation that this will not be the
case; however, with this plan, the construction will still be completed by mid-September
.. of any given year.
Summary
. This letter has presented a revised street improvement process that provides the engineer
and city staff with a defined timeline for events, and a clear means of communicating the
City's intentions for improvements to residents well in advance of the actual decision
. making stages of public improvements.
. We are pleased to be a part of this new public improvement process and welcome any
comments, additions, and suggestions from both staff and Council. We would like to
initiate this process by requesting authorization for the 1995 pavement re-rating to be
. complete by late October in anticipation of a December feasibility report and January
informational and public hearings. I will be present at the October 10, 1995, Council
meeting to answer any questions regarding this plan.

CITY OF ARDEN HILLS
-. MEMORANDUM
DATE: October 10, 1995
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Kevin Ringwald, Community Development Director ~
SUBJECT: Easement Vacation-Sanitary Sewer (Case #95-05)
-
Reouest
The applicant (Dan Ogren) is requesting that the City vacate a 20 foot wide sanitary sewer
easement on the property located at the Northwest comer of Old Highway 10 and County Road
- E2. The vacation request was made in conjunction with the applicants development proposal, the
Townhomes of Lake Valentine (Case #95-05).
-
I Discussion
The property located at the Northwest comer of Old Highway 10 and County Road E2 contains a
two (2) sanitary sewer easements, one in the Southwest comer of the site and the second across
Ie the Northerly portion of the site. The sanitary sewer easement in the Southwest comer of the site
contains the sewer line which serves the Chatham neighborhood. The sanitary sewer easement in
the Northerly portion of the site contains a main line sewer which serves most of the residential
I unit in the area.
The sanitary sewer line in the Northerly portion of the site is not entirely contained within the
I sanitary sewer easement which was provided for that sewer line. The applicant is requesting that
the City vacate the entire 20 foot wide sanitary sewer easement, and the applicant will provide a
new 20 foot wide sanitary sewer easement centered on the existing sanitary sewer line with the
I platting of the Townhomes of Lake Valentine (Exhibit A). The Planning Commission at their
September 6, 1995 regular meeting recommended approval of the vacation of the 20 foot wide
I sanitary sewer easement, subject to it being replaced by a 20 foot wide sanitary sewer easement
centered over the existing sanitary sewer line.
I If the City were to vacate the sanitary sewer easement and then the plat was not filed with
Ramsey County, then the City would have no rights to maintain the presence of the sewer line on
the subject property. Therefore, it would be appropriate to condition the vacation of the sanitary
I sewer easement on the filing of the plat of the Townhomes of Lake Valentine.
I

Recommendation
1. Approval of the vacation of the 20 foot wide sanitary sewer easement, subject to the .-
following conditions:
a. Provision of a 20 foot wide sanitary sewer easement centered on the existing
sanitary sewer line on the plat of Townhomes of Lake Valentine, as shown on
Exhibit A page 3 of 3; and
b. Filing of the plat of the 'Townhomes of Lake Valentine with Ramsey County.
2. Authorize the Mayor to execute the attached resolution (Resolution 95-68).

issues are brought to the surface and addresses as required.
. A summary list of input and associated actions to inform the City Council
of issues related to each project.
. Preparation of final plans.
Plans and specifications would be completed in February and the City could solicit bids
earlier in the year in an effort to obtain the most competitive prices available, begin
construction in early spring, and allow for timely completion of construction during July
or August. We have prepared a project timeline that would allow for an assessment hearing
in April, following the receipt of bids. The Council could award a project at that point,
or await the 3D-day appeal period following an assessment hearing and 'award a project in
- May. In either case, the enclosed proposed schedule allows "float" in several tasks in an
- effort to anticipate a worst case scenario. It is our expectation that this will not be the
~ case; however, with this plan, the construction will still be completed by mid-September
of any given year.
~. Summary
- This letter has presented a revised street improvement process that provides the engineer
and city staff with a defined timeline for events, and a clear means of communicating the
City's intentions for improvements to residents well in advance of the actual decision
I making stages of public improvements.
I We are pleased to be a part of this new public improvement process and welcome any
comments, additions, and suggestions from both staff and Council. We would like to
initiate this process by requesting authorization for the 1995 pavement re-rating to be
I complete by late October in anticipation of a December feasibility report and January
informational and public hearings. I will be present at the October 10, 1995, Council
meeting to answer any questions regarding this plan.

e MEMORANDUM
DATE: October 6, 1995
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM:. Brian Fritsinger, City Administrato~
SUBJECT: Minnesota Highway Patrol Parcel
Attached, the Council will find a request for an appraisal at the Minnesota Highway Patrol parcel
on County Road F. This appraisal will significantly assist in the discussions with the State.
The appraisal is highly recommended by Attorney, Peter Coyle. Mr. Johnson has conducted of
number of appraisals on property on behalf ofMNDOT and apparently is well respected by their
Agency.
-
- The cost of this undertaking would be a direct expense to the City. However, in discussing this
- with Mr. Coyle, the potential return could still significantly exceed this figure and be beneficial
to the City as it pursues settlement in this case.
~. Recommendation
Staff recommends that Council approve the hiring of Jeffrey Johnson to complete a Summary
J Special Assessment Appraisal Report at a cost of$3500.

Gentlemen:
-
Thank you for contacting me concerning your appraisal needs on the above
special assessment matter. I have reviewed the information you had given me -
last week. .~
It is my understanding that you require an estimate of the change in fair market value of
this property resulting from the public improvement project and that this valuation will l
assist you in negotiating with the property owner; special assessment hearing, if
required.
Our valuation services could result in either a Self-contained or Summary special I
assessment appraisal report. In either case our report will contain our conclusion of the
change in fair market value of this property. A Summary report is intended to give I
only a summary of the analysis, while a Self-contained report is intended to be a more
complete accounting of what the appraiser has done. The report will be completed and
delivered to you by November 20, 1995, should you grant authorization to proceed by I
October 16th.
We will inspect the property, research the land market for sales and offering I
information of similar properties. A comparative analysis will be made to estimate the
current fair market value of this property. Then we will estimate the change in market I
value resulting from this public improvement project. This will be done by making a
study of paired sales; those with similar public improvements in place and those
without. The market data and analysis upon which we will base our conclusion will be I
organized in our appraisal report document.

,. MEMORANDUM
I DATE: October 10, 1995
TO: Mayor and City Council
I FROM: Kevin Ringwald, Community Development Director {ff--
I SUBJECT: Case #95-05, PUD Master Plan/Site plan and preliminary plat
Dan Ogren, Northwest corner County Road E2 and Old Highway 10
I The following is a brief review of the applicants request and the recommendation of the Planning
Commission.
I Plannin!! Case 95-05
I A. Reauest
The applicant is requesting approval of a Planned Unit Development (PUD) Master Plan,
Final Plan (site plan), and preliminary plat for a 16 unit "Townhomes of Lake Valentine"
Ie project on a 6.51 acre parcel in the R-I Single Family Residential Zoning District
B. Update
I Subsequent to the Planning Commission review of this request on September 6,1995, the
applicant has made some modifications to the plan. These modifications are generally
responsive to comments made during the Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EA W)
I and/or the Planning Commission review process. The primary modification that was
made to the plan was in regard to the outlet of the sedimentation basin at the Southeast
I comer of the site (Exhibit A).
The plan that was reviewed by the Planning Commission on September 6, 1995 had a
I sedimentation basin which overflowed into a low area in the Northeast corner of the site
and then outletted into Valentine Lake, via a pipe underneath Old Highway 10. The
modified plan (dated 9-21-95) has a sedimentation basin in the Southeast corner of the
I site which outlets into Valentine Creek, via a pipe underneath County Road E2 and the
Chatham Open Space (City property).
I The City's consulting engineer has reviewed the proposed modifications to the plan. The
recommendations of the City's consulting engineer are attached for your information
(Exhibit B, page I of 4). The applicants consulting engineer has responded to the
I drainage issue which was raised by the City's consulting engineer (Exhibit B, pages 2-4
of4).
ae
I
I
I
C. Plannin~ Commission Recommendation ..
1. No oak tree or other hardwood trees be removed unless they are located in a
building footprint or roadway area. I
The Grading and Erosion Control Plan (Exhibit A, page I of 5), dated September
21, 1995 has been modified to identifY the oak and other hardwood trees which I
are located in a building footprint or roadway area.
2. Preservation of existing trees adjacent to Old Highway 10 and County Road I
E2 and within the 66 foot easement, that are not effected by the grading plan.
The Grading and Erosion Control Plan has been modified to identify the
vegetation adjacent to Old Highway 10, County Road E2, and the 66 foot I
easement which are not effected by the grading plan.
3. Approval of and compliance with the necessary permits by the Minnesota I
Department of Natural Resources.
The plans have been modified to outlet the sedimentation basin to Valentine
Creek and the sedimentation basin has been redesigned taking into account the I
comments of the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR), dated
August 25, 1995 (Exhibit C).
However, the applicant has previously received approval of the US Army Corps ..
of Engineers (USCOE) for the outlet into Valentine Lake. The modification of
the outlet to Valentine Creek will require the review and approval ofUSCOE. I
4. Approval of and compliance with the necessary permits by the Rice Creek
Watershed District. I
The Rice Creek Watershed District is scheduled to review this modified plan at
their regular meeting on October 12, 1995. I
5. Compliance with the Floodplain regulations, in particular the lowest floor
elevation requirement based on the regional flood protection elevation for I
Valentine Lake.
The plans have been modified to remove the storm sewer connection from the
sedimentation basin to Valentine Lake. Therefore, the direct threat of flooding I
from Valentine Lake has been minimized to the greatest extent possible.
I
I
..
I
I
I The Floodplain Management regulations of the City Code, in Section 9.5-18
,. requires structures to be elevated one (1) foot above the 100 year flood elevation.
The sedimentation basin has a 100 year flood elevation of 878.4 feet, which is the
basins High Water Level (HWL). Therefore, the flood protection elevation (one
I foot above the 100 year elevation) for this proposal would be 879.4 feet. The
sedimentation basin has a Normal Water Level (NWL) of 877.5 feet. The lowest
floor elevation in the Townhomes of Lake Valentine is 883.5 feet (Units 3 and 4),
I which is 4.1 feet higher than the flood protection elevation, 5.1 feet higher than
the HWL, and 6.0 feet higher than the NWL of the sedimentation basin.
Therefore, the proposal would be in compliance with the flood protection
I elevation requirements of the Floodplain Management regulations.
6. Approval of and compliance with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agencies
I General Construction Storm Water Permit, including the implementation of
BMP's for erosion and sediment control.
The plans have yet to receive the approval of the Minnesota Pollution Control
I Agency (MPCA), as outlined in their letter dated August 29, 1995 (Exhibit D).
7. Provision of a 16.5 foot buffer strip adjacent to the two wetland basins.
I The Preliminary Plat (Exhibit A, page 3 of 5) delineates a 16.5 foot conservation
easement adjacent to the two wetland basins.
Ie 8. Payment of the park dedication fees, as determined by the City Council.
The park dedication fees have yet to be determined by the City Council. The Staff
I is currently reviewing the purchase agreement with the City Attorney to determine
if an appraisal of the property is required, prior to the determination of the
appropriate park dedication fees.
I 9. Compliance with the Shoreland Management Ordinance, in particular
Sections 20.5-41 and 20.5-47.
I The Grading and Erosion Control Plan has been modified such that the outlet of
the sedimentation basin does not outlet into Valentine Lake, but outlets into
Valentine Creek. Therefore, the Shore land Management Ordinance no longer
I applies to this project. However, the plan still provides for the: preservation of
trees adjacent to Old Highway 10 and County Road E2; setbacks from Valentine
I Lake (320 feet minimum); reduced structure heights (28.5 feet maximum); and
reduced lot coverage (25 percent). These are consistent with the requirements of
the Shoreland Management Ordinance.
I 10. Modification of the name of thc private street.
The name of the private street has been modified to Lake View Court.
I
..
I
I
11. Modification of the Townhouse Association documents, per Staff direction, I
for approval by the City Attorney. ..
The City Attorney and Staff are currently reviewing the Townhouse Association
docwnents for consistency with the previous direction given by Staff and the
Planning Commission.
12. Compliance with applicable provisions of the City Code. I
This is a standardized condition of approval.
13. Any required pumping of the storm pond would be the responsibility of the I
Townhouse Association.
The plans have been modified so that the storm sewer outlet does not outlet into I
Valentine Lake. Therefore the flooding potential from Valentine Lake has been
eliminated. However, the responsibility for the maintenance and upkeep of the I
sedimentation basin and the structures should be the responsibility of the
homeowners association.
14. A 16.5 foot conservation easement be established and posted around the I
delineated wetlands.
The Preliminary Plat delineates a 16.5 foot conservation easement adjacent to the I
two wetland basins.
15. Signs denoting "No Parking, by Order ofthe Fire Marshal" be posted on the ..
private street.
The Grading and Erosion Control Plan shows the location of the required signage
on Lake View Court. I
Preliminary Plat
The preliminary plat (Exhibit A, page 3 of 5) provides a significant amount of information. I
Although it provides a significant amount of information, too much information can lead to some I
amount of confusion. In reviewing the preliminary plat some reviewers, have incorrectly
assumed that the private street (Lake View Court) is actually a public street. Apparently, since
the private street has a thick dark line delineating its extent and that it has a street name, it was I
asswned that it was a public dedication. Obviously, it is not the City's intent or desire for Lake
View Court to be a public dedication. Lot 17 of the Townhomes of Lake Valentine is intended to
encompass all of the site which is not part of the individual units (Lots 1-16). I

IRE: TOWNHOMES OF LAKE VALENTINE
REVISED SITE PLAN REVIEW
I Dear Mr. Ringwald:
This letter is submitted as a final review of the revised site plan for the above referen.:ed
I development. This plan revision consists of the realignment of the storm sewer outlet to the
south, bypassing Valentine Lake, altogether. Based upon our review of the plans and
comparison with the City of Arden Hills design standards, the following recommendations
I :'."i !t4CiNE~RiN'~ are made:
;;-'Vj~ONMENi At
.";,OAl . The revised oudet appears to be acceptable; however, the plans should show an
.. 'IAN."'''' easement over the pipe within the property at the southwest quadrant of Old Highway
SOoowAsrE 10 and County Road E2.
S"UC!ViAI . The rip rap overflow on the northeast side of the sedimentation basin has an overflow
I ;!;"1'''G elevation 0.5 feet below the outlet from the basin itself. This will cause the basin to
",FCC drain into the area to the north prior to out letting to the south. This requires a
!~.A~ISPOHMIC~ revision or explanation.
I -.... ... · A valve should be included in the watermain at the intersection of Lake View Court
'c.. "',l. "w~,~" and County Road E2
:....G"'E~,i:\.G .

I 'Sw:' "'''Me, Other issues addressed in our previous letter regarding this development appear to have been
',' addressed by the developer. Please feel free to contact our office with any further questions

Re: Townhomes of Valentine Lake
Stormwater Design
The stormwater design for the proposed Townhomes of Lake I
Valentine meets the requirements of the Minnesota Pollution
Control Agency (MPCA), Rice Creek Watershed District (ReWD) I
and Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Each of
these agencies has specific requirements for stormwater
design.
Dead Storaoe I
The MPCA requires on-site sedimentation of stormwater from ..
the site. The basin at the Southeast corner of the site
provides the required sedimentation. The basin is designed
to maximize the flow length of the stormwater in the sediment
basin. The sediment basin will retain water to an elevation I
of 877.5. The sediment basin will be constructed using a
combination of excavation and embankment.
Live Storace I
The Rice Creek Watershed requires that the runoff from the
site be less than the predeveloped runoff. This storage is I
provided by allowing the stormwater to overtop the riprap
overflow constructed on the North Side of the sediment basin,
The elevation of the riprap overflow is the same as the
proposed outlet pipe under County Road f2, and slopes down to I
the existing grade at this point (877.0). The area North of
the sediment basin is being used for ponding to increase the
volume, reduce the flood elevation and to introduce water I
into an area that has all the characteristics of a wetland
except hydrology. The 100 year flood elevation for the
ponding area is 878.4.

it Outlet Desion
I The outlet will provide skimming of the site runoff (RWCD),
control the outflow rate (RWCD), and to reduce the impact to
downstream waterbodies (DNR). A baffled weir and 12 inch
I storm sewer located adjacent to County Road E2 will control
the rate of runoff and remove floating debris. The site does
not have an overland emergency overflow. It is desirable to
have an outlet that is large enough to decrease the chance of
I plugging. In the event that the Outlet does become plugged
and no water leaves the site, a 100 year storm would cause
the water level on the site to be 879.0. All openings will
I be at least 2 feet above (881.0) this elevation.
At the ONR's request, the outlet from the site will be routed
into the creek bypassing lake Valentine. This allows the
I runoff from the site to pass through a large wetland complex
prior to entering a waterbody. Although the cost of this
outlet will be more expensive to install, it will provide for
better treatment of the runoff and an overall watershed
I improvement.
Please Contact me if you have any questions.

I Re: Environmental Assessment Worksheet for Ogren Townhumes PUD
Dear Mr. Fritsinger:
.. ",-- The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) has revicwed the above-referenced
document and offers the following COD1ments for your consideration. Our major concern is the
I potentia] for advers<, effects on Valentine Lake from site drainage, and the extensive
modification of the site for development.
The City's zoning map shows the property to be outsid<, the shore1and district of Valentine
I Lak<" because the water drains away from the lake. The project is proposing to COIU1ect the
sediment hasin on thc site to the lake by installing a culvert undcr Old Highway 10. The site
would then drain to the lake, yet it would be exempt from shoreland standards. Valenline
Lake is classified as a Narural Environment lake. and protecting its water quality is a major
I concern. Without thc nOlmal protection provided by shoreland standards, water quality in the
lake may be degraded. We rcconill1end that the city and the project proposer consid<,r routing
the outflow from the sediment basin to the south under County Road E2 and eventually to
Valentine Creek, .
I
It appears that this project is built out to the limits of rhe site (sreep slopes and wetlands). We
understand rhat the site will be graded down to the foot of the steep slopes in the northwest and
I that the materia] will be used to fill the eastern part of the site for townhouses 1 to 4. This site
grading and the consU1Jction of the scdiment basin will eliminate much of the wooded area on
the site. The grading of steep slopes and the transfer of 24,000 cubic yards of soil on site pose
I hazards for twO of the wetland basins that abut the townhouses. Soil erosion 13est Management
Practiccs (liMPs) must he rigorously enforced. The remaining wctland habitat would benefit
from conservation easements (deed restrictions) prohibiting alteration and from buffer strips of
natural vegetat.ion.
I Item 18 (ami Fi\!\lres 3a/3b) indicat~.s that a detention basin will be constructed on the site, but
no additional information is provided. The basin's inlet and outlet are nOt designed properly to

RE: Ogren Townhomes
I Dear Mr. Fritsinger:
I Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on the Ogren Townhome, to be built in
the city of Arden Hills, Ramsey County. Based on the information contained in the
Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EA W), the Environmental Planning and Review Office
Ie staff believes that significant environmental effects are not likely to occur as a result of the
project. Therefore, the preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) does not appear
I warranted for Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA)-related issues. We do, however,
have the following concerns:
I 1. Regarding Item 8, a MPCA general storm water permit for construction activity was not
listed. It should have been listed as a required permit. Based on the information in the EA W,
namely that more than five acres will be disturbed, this permit is required. A permit
I application packet is enclosed for your information. For questions regarding this permit
please contact Dan Sullivan of the MPCA at 296-7219.
I 2. The MPCA general storm water permit for construction activity requires that the contractor
and project proposer use Best Management Practices (BMPs) to control erosion and sediment
during construction (called a "Temporary and Erosion and Sediment Control Plan") as found
I in Appendix A of the permit. These BMPs are then incorporated into the plans and
specifications prior to the start of construction. The specifics of these requirements are
I spelled out in the general permit found in the permit application packet.
" Since more than one acre of impervious surface is being added a "Permanent Erosion and
~.
I Sediment Control Plan" must be prepared by the project proposer. This is described further
in Appendix B of the general storm water permit.

4. The proposed site layout for the residential lots and structures appears to have maximized ..
avoidance of wetlands completely. Subsequent proposals by individual owners or the I
association to fill wetlands should not be allowed if such proposals would conflict with the
avoidance of wetlands plan that was incorporated into this proposal. For the lots that have
wetlands within the lot boundaries, conservation easements,convenants, recorded deed I
restriction, or other acceptable permanent restrictions are required that will prohibit present
and future townhome lot owners from filling or altering wetlands on their lots. We strongly
encourage the inclusion of an appropriate buffer zone to be included in the protected area for I
the wetland.
Minnesota Rules part 4410.1700, subpart 5 require that you send us a copy of your specific I
responses to our comments. We look forward to receiving your decision on the need for an EIS.
If you have any questions regarding our comments, please contact Christy 1. Ceesay of my staff
at (612) 297-8236. I

~ MEMORANDUM
I DATE: October 7, 1995
TO: Brian Fritsinger, City Administrator ~
I
FROM: Cindy S. Walsh, Parks & Recreation Director CS
I SUBJECT: Park Dedication for Ogren Townhouse Development
Park dedication for the proposed townhouse development at the comer of County Road E2 and
I Old Highway 10 was calculated in accordance to Section 22-9, Public Use Dedication of the City
Code.
I The proposed development includes 16 units, which is between two and three gross density in
dwelling units per acre. Therefore, dedication is based on 7% of the purchase price of the
I property. Cash in lieu of a land dedication is calculated to be $9,348.00. This cash can be paid
in full or in installment payments if Council desired to do so.
.. The dedication was based on the purchase price of the property. The purchase agreement was
reviewed by the City Attorney. He feels that the price reflected in the purchase agreement is
justifiable for undeveloped land value. The City Council does have the option of having the
I property appraised. However, Attorney Filla and staff feel the purchase price is reflective of fair
market values.
I A copy of the Arden Hills Dedication Ordinance is attached.
I Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions relating to park dedication prior to the
October 10,1995, City Council meeting.

have not received all of the information required to fully complete each
claim. However, I have been in frequent communication with many of the
parties. I
Mr. Paul Wallace was paid for a portion of his damages based on the
information he furnished to me in a very timely manner. He continues to I
supply me with various documents regarding expenses and a second payment
will be made in a day or two. However, he does have some minor details to
finalize, and upon receipt of that information, I will be able to make payment. I
Mr. and Mrs. Garski did not submit any information until September 15, 1995.
I am reviewing that information and expect to submit payment shortly. They I
also have some minimal outstanding issues being looked into further. When
the final paperwork is received, I will conclude their claim.
Mr. Jim Borg faxed his information to me on September 18, 1995. I am I
reviewing that information and will submit a final check. I do not believe he I
has any outstanding issues to resolve once payment is made.

Facing the Issues That Face Our Customers I
---
I -
I. Regarding the City of Arden Hills and the Valentine Park, I received their
. information on September 8, 1995. This is being reviewed and I am finalizing
any potential outstanding investigation issues. I should be able to resolve this
I matter within a few days also.
As you can see from the above dates, the timeliness of expediting these claims
I is heavily relied upon the information provided by the claimants. Fair claims
handling allows me 30 days to issue payment from receipt of information so I
can properly investigate and adjust the claims accordingly. I am currently well
I within that 30 days. I do not foresee any problems in issuing payments.
However, in order to properly conclude the claims, all parties must provide
me with the necessary information.
I If you have any further questions or concerns, please contact me at
1-800-328-0705, ext. 311.
I Sincerely,
