1. Agenda . .:~
>
. a. Planning Commission Visit
The, Council should recall that during 1994, it began a process of annual meetings
with the various City Committees. With 1995 coming to an end, I have asked for
. representatives of the various Committees to once again meet with Council.
Rather than having only one meeting set aside for these discussions, I am trying to
. break up the discussions by holding them on the next several Worksession
Agendas. The Planning Commission will be at this Meeting, Public Works and
.- Finance in November, and Economic Development, Parks and Human Rights
proposed for December.
b. Livable Communities Act
. The Council needs to begin discussions on whether or not it will participate in this
program. I have attached several documents for review prior to the Meeting and
. expect Mr. Ringwald to have additional information available on Thursday.
Codification Work Plan
c.
. Staff has met with the League of Minnesota Cities (LMC) to review the contract
with LMC to perform codification services. Because ofLMC's move
to their new facility in St. Paul, they are unable to assist Staff for an extended
. period of time with any recommended changes. The attached plan is provided
simply to update the Council on our proposed plan of action to complete this
undertaking.
. d. Lift Station #6 Improvements
Public Works is recommending to 'modify Lift Station #6. The attached
. memorandum from Mr. Stafford, Mr. Post and MSA highlight the need for this
action. The Council may recall this work was originally scheduled for 1994 but
was not undertaken.
.

e. City Hall Update ~ .., ..
Staff would like to'briefly review the current status of the Sunfish Lake site and
discuss possible improvements at the current City Hall. I have provided the 1991 .
needs assessment for background information. -
f. TeAAP UIJdate .
Staff would like to discuss with the Council a number ofTCAAP related issues.
Specifically, the City needs to r~view the legal assistance being provided by Peter .
Coyle at Larkin, Hoffman, Daly & Lindgren. This is an unbudgeted item and
prior to incurring additional costs I would like to update the Council on what Mr.
Coyle ~<lS been undeI1aking on the City's behalf. The Council had previously .
directed Staff to continue working with Mr. Coyle on legal issues which were
outside the scope of services detailed in the contract with Camiros.

The Trust is planning on seeking reimbursement from the State under the .
Landfill Cleanup Program. Initially, it was my understanding that the Trust
was going to apply for these funds on behalf of its members. After discussing .
it with Attorney Filla, he recommended completing the claim form to ensure our
participation. I will update the Council if I learn any new information.

concerned about time elements and participating early on so as to not be excluded
from any potential funding sources. -.

MEMORANDUM
I DATE: October 18, 1995
. TO: Mayor and City Council
I FROM: Brian Frit~inger, City'Administrato@
SUBJECT: Livable Communities Act
. Background
I Attached, the.City Council will findipormation which describes the Metropolitan Livable
Communities Act. This Act was adopted by the State Legislature in 1995 and is intended to
address housing and other developmental issues facing the metropolitan area.
. What Are the Issues Facim! Arden Hills?
Metropolitan communities have until November 15, 1995, to elect to participate in this program.
I While the Met Council has provided suggested goals, the City does'not necessarily have to adopt
these goals at the time it elects to participate. These negotiated goals must be adopted by January
.- 15, 1996.
What Goals Has The Metropolitan Council Suggested?
The draft agreement with the City suggests goals in a number of areas. The City currently only
I meets one of these goals.
How does TCAAP Impact These Goals?
I Staff has requested clarification from Met Council on the impact of TCAAP on these goals. The
initial reaction from Met Council is that they will consider any suggestions the City may have.
I Staff is considering whether these goals should be exclusive to TCAAP or City wide. Mr.
Ringwald will present several ideas on this, at the Meeting.
I How Long is the City Committed to These Goals?
The City would be committed for one year. After that year both participation and goals are open
for discussion.
. Other Issues
In order to qualify for many of the State funding programs, cities will be required to participate
. in this program. This issue does have a significant immediate impact on Arden Hills.
The financial assistance which is being pursued for Cardiac Pacemakers (CPI) will be subject to
I our participation. Should the Council elect not to participate, CPI will lose approximately
$250,000 in asbestos abatement funds.
.-
.
.
Staff is also researching the goals by our neighboring communities and other second tier suburbs. ..
A number of suburban communities have already adopted a Resolution to participate. Shoreview
and New Brighton are still considering participation. By comparing other cities, it may provide .
some leverage to negotiate goals, should the City elect to participate. -
What's Next? .
Staff would like to discuss potential ramifications of participation, at this meeting. Should the
Council find it appropriate, Met Council representatives are available to attend the October 30 or
the November 13, Meetings to answer questions. The Council will need to come to a formal .
decision on participation no later than November 13, 1995.

HousingGoals and Benchmarks
How to Use the Index .
Preparing Action Plans
The agreed-upon goals should be considered in the preparatiDn of aetion plans by a community. The I
action plan should be based on a comparison of its index tD the benchmarks for each of the six measures
across the three categories (affordability, life-cycle and density). There are three possible situations for I
each measure: the index is lower than the benchmark range, within the benchmark range, or above the
benchmark range. -I
In eaeh case where an index is below the benchmark range, the city's action plan should set forth imple-
mentation aetivities that will help it move towards the benchmark. For example, if a city has multifamily I
housing density that is below the benchmark range, it should consider actiDns such as increasing the
density allowed in future develDpment, imposing a minimum density standard, and/or creating incentives
to encourage higher density development, such as density bonuses in a Planned Unit Development Ordi- .
nance.
If an index is within the benchmark range, the city should plan actions to maintain its position within the I
range. For example, if a city has an owner/renter mix that is within the benchmark range its plan might be
a review of land use plans for future development to assure there is sufficient land for development of the
types of housing that would keep the city within the range. I
If an index is above the benchmark range, the city's objecti ve should be to stay within the range. For
example, if a eity has a percentage of single family housing valued below $1 15,000 that is above its I
benchmark range, it can increase the amount of higher priced housing in the commuity as long as it does
not result in the affordable ownership percent falling below the benchmarks. I

I Housing Goals Agreement
Definitions
I Affordability
Housing is defined as affordable if it costs no more than 30-percent of a household's income. The Index and Benchmarks in the
I housing agreement are based on the following:
Ownership: homestead values for 1994 of $115,000 or less. This is the approximate unit cost affordable to housholds with
I incomes at 80-percent of the 1994 regional median income.
Rental: 1990 census, rents of $500 or less per month. In 1990 this rent level was affordable to households with incomes at SO-
I percent of regional median income.
Life-Cycle Housing
I Life-cycle housing is a term used to refer to the availability of housing for people of all stages of their lives. Communities with a
wide variety of housing types for ownership and rent are in a good position to meet the people's changing needs as their incomes
ed preferences change. The Index and Benchmarks in the housing agreement are based on the following:
I Type: 1993 Council estimate of the percent of all housing units that were not single-family detached.
I OwnerlRenter Mix: 1990 census, percent owner-occupied/percent rental housing units.
Density
I Units per acre. Derived from the 1990 census of unit types and the Council's interpretation of 1990 aerial phOtography of the
regIOn.
I Single-Family Detached: All single-family detached housing units and duplexes divided by the Council estimate of acreage with
single-family housing.
I Multifamily: 1990 census count of multifamily units divided by the Council estimate of land with multifamily housing develop-
ment.
I Index
The community's current housing situation,
I Benchmark
I The current housing situation for the community's geographic sector and planning area.

The community's goals for housing affordability, life-cycle housing and density.

I LIVABLE COMMUNITIES QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
I 1. What is the Metropolitan Livable Communities Act?
I The Metropolitan. Livable Communities Act ("Act") was enacted in June 1995 and is the Legislature's
I attempt to address various issues facing the seven-county metropolitan area. The Act establishes a
Metropolitan. Livable Communities Fund which consists of three accounts: the Tax Base Revitalization
I Account; the Livable Communities Demonstration Account; and the Local Housing Incentives Account.
Metropolitan municipalities are not required to participate in the programs under the Act, but the Act
I . provides incentives andfundin~ to those municipalities that do participate.
2. What is the incentive to participate?
I
The benefits are clear. Cities, towns and, in some cases, counties have access to resources that will
I improve their communities and neighborhoods. In addition, the legislation puts local units of govern-
ment in the driver's seat. Communities can not only choose whether to participate; they also have
I flexibility in detennining how they're going to use the resources available.
I 3. What is the incentive to provide lower-cost housing in our community?
I Affordable housing is an investment in communities and their residents. It fulfills a commitment to
young families, single people and older residents that they can find a home they can afford in the com-
I munity of their choice.
4. What are "affordable" housing and "life-cycle" housing?
I
. Housing is "affordable" if it costs no more than 30 percent of afamily's income. For ownership hous-
I ing this income amount is 80 percent of median, an amount that in 1994 could afford a home costing
I
- ---
. '.
approximately $115,000. For rental housing this income is 50 percent of median. In 1990 this was . .
approximately $500 per month. - .
- .
"Life-cycle" housing refers to housing available for people at all stages of their lives, offering a choice
and variety of housing types and cost to accommodate people ~ changing needs and preferences as their .
incomes and circumstances change.
,- ~ ,.' .
5. What are the affordable and life-cycle housing opportunities amount?
The Affordable and Life-Cycle Housing Opportunities Amount ("ALHOA amount") is an amount, .
established by formula in the Act, that a participating municipality must spend to create affordable and .
life-cycle housing or to maintain existing affordable and life-
cycle housing. A participating municipality ~ ALHOA amount is established each year.
.
6. Does the ALHOA amount have to be a property tax levy?
No. The ALHOA amount can be derived from a levy, or it can be derivedfromfundsfrom another .
source. Regardless of the source of funds for the municipality's ALHOA amount, a participating munici-. .
pality that did not meet its negotiated affordable and life-
cycle housing goals, and did not spend 85 percent of its ALHOA amount to create affordable and life- .
cycle housing opportunities in the previous year, must distribute the entire AUIOA amount to a local
housing and redevelopment authority to create affordable and life-cycle housing opportunities in the .
municipality, or to the Metropolitan Council for distribution through the Local Housing Incentives
Program.
.
7. If my municipality elects by November 15, 1995, to participate in the Local Housing Incen-
tives Account Program, must the municipality spend an ALHOA amount in calendar year 1996? .
No. Because of various timing provisions in the Act, the ALHOA amount requirement does not apply .
until your municipality~ election to participate in the Local Housing Incentives Account Program made
by November 15, 1996,for calendar year 1997. .
8. If my municipality elects to participate in the Local Housing Incentives Account Program .
by November 15, 1995, but is unable to agree on housing goals with the Metropolitan Council,
must the municipality participate in the program? -.
.
I i .
I No. A municipality is not participating in the Local Housing Incentives Account Program unless two
. conditions have been met:
I .
a. The municipality has elected to participate in the program; and
I b. The Metropolitan Council and the municipality have negotiated and agreed on affordable
and life-cycle housing goals for the municipality.
I If the municipality and the Metropolitan Council do not successfully negotiate housing goals, your
I municipality may not participate in the Local Housing Incentives Account Program.
.>
I 9. Must my municipality participate in the Local Housing Incentives Account Program?
I No. Participation in the program is voluntary, but a municipality that does not participate may at some
later time elect to participate in the program. However; a municipality which later elects to participate
I must establish that it has spent or agrees to spend on affordable and life-cycle housing an amount
equivalent to what it would have spent on affordable and life-cycle housing had goals been established
I . for the period in which the municipality was not participating.
10. If my municipality has met its housing goals in the previous calendar year, may my munici-
I pality participate in the Local Housing Incentives Account Program?
I Yes. However; your municipality will not be eligible to receive grants from the Local Housing Incentives
Account Program if it met its affordable and life-cycle housing goals. Your municipality still will be
I eligible for grants and loans under the Livable Communities Demonstration Account and Tax Base
Revitalization Account programs.
I 11. What if my municipality chooses not to participate in the Local Housing incentives Ac-
I count Program?
I Municipalities that elect not to participate in the Local Housing Incentives Account Program are not
eligible to participate in the Tax Base Revitalization Account and Livable Communities Demonstration
Account programs under the Act. The Metropolitan Council is required by the Act to take into account
I your municipality's participation in the Local Housing Incentives Account Program when making
. discretionary funding decisions. In addition, your municipality will not be eligible to apply for funds
I under the Department of Trade and Economic Development's polluted sites clean-up program if your
I

. I ,.
municipality is not participating in the Local Housing Incentives Account Program. ..
12. If my municipality elects to participate in the Local Housing Incentives Account Program. .
but does not have the capacity to create additional affordable and life-
cycle housing opportunities, can my municipality give its ALHOA amounts to other municipalities .
to meet negotiated housing goals?
Yes. A municipality that has negotiated housing goals, but might not have adequate resources to create .
or maintain affordable and life-cycle housing opportunities still cDuId be considered a participating mu- .
nicipality. However, the municipality would be required to distribute its ALHOA amount to the Metro-
politan Council for distribution to other participating municipalities or distribute its ALHOA amount to a .
local housing and redevelopment authority for creating affordable and life-cycle housing opportunities
within the municipality. The Act permits municipalities to enter into agreements with adjacent municipali-
ties to cooperatively provide affordable and life-cycle housing. The Metropolitan Council will work with .
municipalities to help municipalities create affordable and life-cycle housing opportunities and avail
themselves Df the incentives and funding available under the Act and from other sources. .
13. If my municipality is using local resources to make payments on a mortgage for an afford- -.
able or life-cycle housing opportunity created prior to the Act, can these resources count toward
expenditures of the municipality's ALHOA amount? .
Yes. As long as the use of the funds is directly related to your municipality s efforts to meet its afford- .
able and life-cycle housing goals, these local resources can be considered an expenditure of ALHOA
amounts.
.
14. Are the goals for affordable and life-cycle housing, as proposed by the Metropolitan Coun-
cil, achievable? .
The goals proposed by the Metropolitan Council are intended to be "long-tenn" goals. Your munici- .
pality will establish an action plan that identifies the steps your municipality intends to take to move
toward its long-range goals. Beginning in 1998, your municipalitys annual progress in meeting its .
negotiated affordable and life-cyclehousmg goals will be measured against the annual goals your
municipality sets forth its action plan. Progress toward the goals will depend on private marketplace .
efforts, the availability of affordable and life-cycle housing resources and the use of local controls to
create an environment to meet goals. ..
.
-------- ------
. 1 .
.' Is. Do the Metropolitan Council and a municipality negotiate and set housing goals annually?
.
. No. The Act envisions negotiated housing goals as a one-time process. That is why the goals are 10nK.
term in nature. The Metropolitan Council will propose affordable and life-cycle housing goals that
. encourage your municipality to address key housing benchmarks.
. 16. After the Metropolitan Council and a municipality negotiate and set affordable and Iife-
cycle housing goals for the municipality, what happens next?
. The municipality must prepare an action plan that describes how it intends to meet its negotiated goals.
. The municipality has until June 30, 1996, to submit the action plan to the Metropolitan Council.
17. Does the Metropolitan Council have to approve the action plan?
.
The Act does not require the Metropolitan Council to approve a municipality's action plan. However,
. the Metropolitan Council will comment on the plan 's content in relation to the negotiated goals that
.- have been established, and it will attempt to identify potential resources available to the municipality to
help the municipality meet its negotiated affordable and life-cycle housing goals.
. 18. What should the action plan look like?
. The suggested format will be modeled after the one used for the housing element of your comprehensive
plan.

I. CITY OF ARDEN HILLS
MEMORANDUM
I -
DATE: October 18, 1995
. TO: Mayor and City Council
Brian Fritsinger, City Administrato@
. FROM:
SUBJECT: Codification
. Staff has met with Kent Sulem, Codification Attorney for the League of Minnesota Cities, to
review the contract for services originally executed in 1993. To date, the City has expended
. about 60% of the overall contract costs to have a first draft prepared by the League.
. Mr. Sulem has indicated that due to the upcoming move by LMC to St. Paul, LMC will be
unable to work on the preparation of the second draft for several more weeks. However, to keep
things moving forward Staff has requested~everal examples of codes which Staff would like to
. consider.
The Council has, asked for the revised chapters to be presented at future Worksessions in a
.- "final" fonnat. It is my goal to work on several chapters each month until this project is
complete. Depending upon the complexity of each chapter, I do not intend to go in order. My
schedule is as follows:
I DATE CHAPTERS
November 16 1,7,11
I December 21 4,5,8
I January 3,6,10,15
I February 9,12,13,14
March 2,16
I I anticipate that this schedule will probably change once the review of various chapters has
I begun. I would expect that those changes may be to place additional chapters on upcoming
agendas to expedite the process. Examples of these new chapters would be pawn shops, guns,
and sex orientated businesses. The Council should also be aware that the Zoning Ordinance is
. not part of this review and several chapters of the current code may be recommended to be
transferred to the Zoning Ordinance.

. FROM: Dwayne Stafford, Public Works Superintendent
SUBJECT: Lift Station #6 Modification
. Back!!:round
. Lift Station #6 is a smaller unit located on the West Shore of Lake Johanna serving
approximately 10 homes. Sewage from these homes run toward the lake into a gravity line
which flows to this lift station. It is then pumped up hill to a higher gravity line in Lake Johanna
. Boulevard. Station #6 is approximately 35 years old and was scheduled for modification in
1994.
. Lift Station Evaluation
At the request of staff Charles Janski from MSA consultants, along with two Public works staff
members, toured and evaluated our lift stations. Mr. Janski then prepared a report on the
.. conditions of the station, which is enclosed. The report recommends modifications to Lift
Station #6 due to its age and safety factors. A preliminary cost estimate for the work to be done
is $25,000.00.
. Recommendation
I Staff recommends to Council, approval ofMSA Consultants to prepare specifications and seek
proposals to modify Lift Station #6. Staff also recommends paying for the modifications using
the $30,000 currently in the 1995 budget which is set aside to update the lift station alarm
I system. This would delay the alarm system update until 1996. See attached memo from Mr.
Post.

I FROM: Terrance Post, City Accountant @
SUB,JECT: Sanitary Sewer CaDital Project Items
I I have reviewed the October 2, 1995 "Sanitary Sewer Lift Station Review" report by MSA City
I Engineer Charles Janski. My reading of the report was from a budgetary impact standpoint
Following are my observations:
1. The report highlights the previously known deficiencies at Lift Station Number 6. In fact,
. a $20,000 capital item was included in the 1994 budget to convert this station to
submersible pumps. However, this project was not accomplished and was replaced by a
I $21,630 TCAAP oversizing project The item did not reappear in the 1995 budget.
2. There are only vague references to the lift station alarm control system. Internally, staff is
.. aware of the need to modify and retrofit the existing system and have committed $30,000
in the 1995 budget to commence this project. Apparently, an analysis of the alarm control
system was not part of the scope of this particular engineering review.
I " The preliminary recommendation comments by the engineer on all lift stations except
~.
Number 6 tend to be more "housekeeping" than improvement in nature. The 1996 budget
I process anticipated substantially more lift station replacement equipment from 1996 to
2000 ($190,000) than is supported by the engineer's preliminary recommendations.
I Recommendations
1. Between the approved 1995 budget and the preliminary 1996 budget, $80,000 is
. identified for the lift station alarm control system retrofit and for equipment replacement
Prioritize the immediate need for converting Lift Station Number 6 to submersible pumps
. or beginning the planning phase of the control system retrofit. Commence the higher
priority project in 1995.
. 2. Develop a work plan in 1996 and 1997 to complete the control system retrofit project.
, Incorporate the engineer's "housekeeping" recommendations into the lift station
~.
. maintenance work plan.
.- 4. Revisit the sanitary sewer utility long term capital needs as part of the 1997 budget
process.

. RE: SANITARY SEWER LIFT STATION REVIEW
I Dear Mr. Stafford:
As requested, we have condueted a brief observation inspection of the majority of the
. sanitary sewer lift stations tD evaluate the general condition and make recommendations for
short term improvements.
I CNll ENGINEERING Following the site visit and discussions with City operating personnel, we put together the
ENVIRO~MEN;AL attached brief diseussion on each lift station for your reference.
.e :~~~,:~ Initially, we would like to commend the operations personnel and the City for the
SOUDWASTE maintenance effDrts which have been effective in extending the life of the equipment.
. snU(TURAL Many of the stations were constructed in the 1960's and 1970's, so they are 25 to 35 years
SURVEV;NG old and still operating well.
~RAf;IC
. -~ANSPCRTATiON The attached discussion sheets provide some site specific recommendations, but the
majority of the issues are routine maintenance type efforts. The exception is at Lift Station
:~ECR.iCALi MEC-iANICAL Number 6.
. :\iGr-.;E.:;t.\iG
'-N.i.,( Lift Station Number 6 is a small capacity pneumatic ejector type lift station, It .pumps"
:;OWER. Dlsrn;UTiO', the wastewater flow from about 10 homes on the west shore of Lake Johanna. This type
I SCAD,'. of lift station is very effective for small flows, but it is not commonly used at this time.
SYSEM cONTRees Wastewater flows by gravity into a pressure chamber or "pot". When it reaches a preset
. level, a valve is automatically opened to direct compressed air into the pot and "force" the
collected wastewater up to the higher elevation gravity sewer. The "pumping" operation
involves sensors, automatic valves, air compressors, electrie motors, and electrical wiring.
. All of this equipment is contained inside an underground concrete vault in Lift Station
Number 6. The structure and equipment is approximately 34 years old, and is not in
eompliance with current safety standards. The vault has limited space for aecess to the
. equipment and the high humidity in the underground chamber corrodes the equipment and
OfFICES IN; electrieal contacts, and makes electrical work dangerous. When maintenance is required
on the equipment, extra care is required to ventilate the structure and mDnitor the repair
.e MINNEAPOLIS operation.

, In the past, the City has briefly considered abandoning Lift Station Number 6, and
installing individual pumps in the homes tD lift the wastewater into the gravity line on Lake
. Johanna Trail. This option would eliminate the need for the collector line (lakeshore line)
located between the existing homes and the lake. Access to the lakeshore line for
, maintenance is poor at best, bU,t City personnel indicate that there have been SDme minor
root problems, but generally, the line runs reasonably well. During our brief inspection,
there was very little flow in the lakeshore gravity line, so it does not appear to have an
infiltration/inflow problem.
I The existing gravity line on Lake Johanna Trail is located on the west side of the street,
, opposite the homes to be serviced, so each individual forcemain would have to run under
the paved road to the collector line.
I As an alternate, we would recommend cDnsideration of an option to modify the existing lift
station. The structure could be modified to house twin submersible pumps with electrical
controls mounted in a panel above the ground. The electrical controls wDuld be in an
,. above ground water proof panel roughly 2 feet by 3 feet in size located on a short pedestal.
Shrubs could be planted around the panel to screen it from the residents and the lakeshore
if necessary.
, If this alternative appears reasDnable to the City Council and the operations personnel, we
would suggest that quotes be requested directly from two or three pump suppliers without
I detailed plans and specifications. The site conditions and the equipment set up and design
are quite unique, and we would anticipate each supplier to have a somewhat unique
approach to the correetive action required.
I We would be available to assist in the preparation of the documents to request quotes and
. review the submittals as they are available.
In regard to the other lift stations, we would suggest that the current maintenance program
I eontinue with one or two added features. It would be helpful for future reference if a
reeord was made of each inspection and the findings of the inspection work. Some of the
dry wells have heaters or dehumidifiers that are not operating. An inventory of each station
, with inspection of the dehumidifier, heater, lights, ventilation, sump pump, etc. may
identify some minor equipment needs.
, In the course of completing the Comprehensive Plan, we may encounter additional needs
at the lift station locations. HDwever, at this time, it appears that the most significant
.. problem is the situation at Lift Station Number 6.

I Lift Stntion Number I
I- Location: Arden Hills Trail
Type: Wet well! Dry well
Manufacturer: Smith & Loveless
I Construction: Concrete wet well, Steel tube dry well
Design Capacity: 200 gpm at 31 feet TDH
. Constructed: 1959, modifications - cover was replaced and access tube extended with
grading changes for parking area; 1993 New electrical service was
installed; no major pump' or motor modifications.
. Co=ents:
The dry well tube and cover were modified when the adjacent to\Nll house units were
I constructed and the replacement cover is somewhat distorted and corroded,
In 1993 the electrical service was replaced by i\id Electric, and the overall station was
checked out but there was no work done on the controls.
. According to operating personnel the station is relatively trouble free except for routine
maintenance. During wet weather conditions, there is an increase in the pump running times
indicating some infiltration/inflow in the service area of this lift station.
. Preliminary Reco=endations:
.e The wet well cover needs replacement or at least some repair and recoating for corrosion
protection. The dry well tube and floor should also be inspected and possibly spot cleaned and
recoated as necessary.
I Lift Stntion Number 2
I Location: Easement west of Chatham Avenue
Type: Wet weW Dry well
. Manufacturer: Custom Built, PACO Pumps
Construction: Concrete wet well and dry well inside building
Design Capacity: 900 gpm at is ft TDH (one pump); 1100 gpm at 89 ft IDH (two pumps)
I Constructed: 1977, major upgrade in 1983
Co=ents:
. The 1983 upgrade work included the installation oflong shafts on the pumps with
relocation of the drive motors to a ground level concrete slab, and construction of a small building
. over the wet well and dry' well and replacement of the pump controls.
This station was not viewed, however according to operating personnel, the construction
is similar to the building at stations 5 and 8. In these locations, the wet well is under the building
~ ~
. and access is prov~ded in a separate room with a separate access door from the outside, Electrical
controls and the pump motors are located in an adjacent room with separated access to the
outside. There are safety concerns on the wet well side due to the confu1ed space classification of
.e this type of design, The dry well side prov~des good access to the pumps and mOlOrsfor
.
.
. maintenance. In general, the pumps have been running well according to operating personnel.
.- Preliminary Recommendations:
In general the station is in good condition and the routine maintenance program is doing
. as good job of maintaining the facility. The wet well has some safety considerations which are
known by operating personnel and safety precautions are obsetved when working in this
enVlfonment.
. Lift St:ltion Number 3
. Location: County Road E and Siems Court
Type: Wet weIll Dry well
Manufacturer: Cantex with Fairbanks Morse Pumps
. Construction: Steel Tube wet well, Concrete Dry well
Design Capacity: 150 gpm at 48 feet TOH
Constlucted: 1960, replaced one pump volute and repaired one volute in July 1995
. Comments:
. The dry well tube appears to be leaning slightly but it is difficult to determine whether this
has always been the case or it occurred in the recent past. The dry well appears to be in fair
condition but the floor is corroded and there is standing water on the floor opposite the sump
.. pump.
The wet well is a four (4) foot diameter concrete structure which appears to be in good
condition.
. According to operating personnel, this station has ben operating reasonably well and
required only routine maintenance except for the volute replacement in the summer of 1995.
. Preliminary Recommendations:
The dry well should be monitored to determine whether or not the vertical alignment is
continuing to deteriorate. 10 addition the dry well should be cleaned and recoated to provide
. corrosion resistance. It may be possible to correct the "wet floor" problem due to the uneven
floor with some filler material following the cleanup of the floor.

.- The wet well is a concrete structure wbich appears to be in good condition.
Accprding to operating personnel, this station has ben operating reasonably well and
required only routine maintenance except for the impeller, volute and motor repairs in 1993.
. Preliminary Reconnendations:
. 1l1e dlY well floor and the corroded spots in the access tube and cover should be cleaned
and recoated to provide corrosion resistance. Regular preventive maintenance procedures that
are currently in use have done a good job in maintaining the facility and we would reconnend a
. continuation of the cutrent program
Lift Station Number 5
. Location: County Road E at Schmidt Park
Type: Wet well! Dry well
. Manufacturer: Custom Built, PACO Pumps
Construction: Concrete wet well and dry well inside building
Design Capacity: 900 gpm at 78 ft TDH (one pump)
. Constructed: 1977, major upgrade in 1983.
Connents:
.e The 1983 up grade work included the installation of new long shaft pumps with the drive
motors installed on a concrete slab at ground level, and construction of a small building over the
I wet well and dry well, and replacement of the pump controls.
The wet well is under the building and access is provided in a separate room with a
separate access door from the outside. Electrical controls and the pump motors are located in an
I adjacent room with separate access to the outside. The wet well side appears to be in relatively
good condition but there are safety concerns due to the confined space classification oftms type
of design. The dry well side is in good condition and the pumps have been running well with
. routine maintenance according to operating personneL In August 1995 one of the pumps needs a
new volute and the repair parts have been ordered. The pump control system was modified by
Aid Electric to operate on a bubbler system after problems were encountered with the original
. equipment. There is a concern that the controls are somewhat customized and it may be difficult
for another contractor to make future repairs.
I PreliminalY Reconnendations:
In general the station is in good condition and the routine maintenance program is doing
. as good job of maintaining the facility. The wet well has some safety considerations wbich are
known by operating personnel and safety precautions are observed when working in this
envTIonment.
. The new pump volute \\iill be installed at the station as soon as it is available from the
service contractor.

I Lift Stntion :'lumber 6
I- Location: Easement on Lakeshore along Lake Johanna Trail
Type: Air Ejector
I Man ufa cturer: Cantex
Construction: Ejector "pot" in underground concrete structure
Design Capacity: 30 gpm at 30 feet TDH
I Constructed: [961
Comments:
I 1llls lS a unique type of pumping station that uses air pressure to push the wastewater to
the discharge point. The design,xequires a sealed pressure chamber ("pot"), automatic valves and
an air compressor to provide the "push". All of the equipment and electrical controls are housed
I in a concrete structure below the ground level. Routine maintenance is difficult and time
consuming due to the limited space available, the damp conditions and the confined space
situation.
I Since the original construction in 1960, the system has been working reasonably well and
has required only routine maintenance, however there is a significant concern about the safety of
I working on this system in an underground location.
Preliminary Recommendations:
.. This station should be considered for upgrading with a submersible pump system to
eliminate the need for entering the underground structure and dealing ",ith the safety problems.
The station provides service for about 10 homes which are below the elevation of the gravity
I sewer which runs along Lake Johanna Trail. If the lift station were to be eliminated, each of the
homes would have to be served by an individual pump located in their yard or basement and new
service lines would have to be installed from the individual pumps to the gravity line. It is feasible
. to address the problem with individual pumps but since a reasonable collection system is already
in place and operating, it appears to be less costly to modifY the one pump station and live with
the collector line as it is unless more significant problems develop,

Comments:
I The lift station is located on an easement behind the "Presbyterian Homes" near the
Lakeshore. Power is supplied underground from an overhead line on Sandeen Road. The

Comments:
. The 1975 upgrade work included the installation of new long shaft pumps with the dlive
motors installed on a concrete slab at ground level, and construction of a small building over the
.. wet well and dry well, and replacement of the pump controls. The 1990 improvements included
rebuilding of the pump control paneL
The wet well is under the building and access is provided in a separate room with a
I separate access door from the outside. Electrical controls and the pump motors are located in an
adjacent room with separate access to the outside. The wet well side appears to be in relatively
good condition but there are safety concerns due to the confined space classification of this type
. of design. The dry well side is in good condition and the pumps have been running well with
routine maintenance according to operating personnel. During wet weather conditions, this lift
station experiences very high flows suggesting significant infiltration/inflow in the sanitary sewer
. lines \vith in the lift station service area.
This lift station structure also houses a flow meter owned and operated by the
Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES). The flow meter measures and records
. wastewater flow from the southeastern portion of Arden Hills.
Preliminary Recommendations:
. In general the station is in good condition and the routine maintenance program is doing
as good job of maintaining the facility, One comer of the building has some bricks broken off and
. concrete blocks exposed. This are should be repaired as time allows to seal the building. The wet
well has some safety considerations which are known by operating personnel and safety
precautions are observed when working in this environment.

I. CITY OF ARDEN HILLS
MEMORANDUM'
. -
DATE: October 18, 1995
. TO: Mayor and City Council
Brian Fritsinger, City Administrator ~
. FROM:
SUBJECT: Various City Hall Facilities Issues
. The Arden Hills facilities issue has been debated for several years. The City Hall facility
recommendations, which are attached, were initially completed in 1991.
. The Citizens Committee who prepared the needs assessment was authorized to offer a
recommendation for appropriate future facilities. The Study evaluated the current conditions,
. current and future space needs, sites and financing.
. Several weeks ago the City Council briefly discussed the status of our current and proposed City
Hall. During this discussion the Council asked that the old plans be reviewed and additional
discussions held.
W 1. Current City Hall
As indicated on page six (6) of the needs assessment, the current facility is inadequate for
I a number of reasons. In addition, the relocation of the Council Chambers to New
Brighton has created a variety of scheduling problems for Staff.
I The issue which I believe is most relevant at this point in time, is project timing. There
are a number of improvements to the existing facility which I would recommend be
undertaken. However, if the Council believes that a new facility is possible within the
I next year, I would not recommend these improvements be made at this time.
A. Entry Area Roof Leak
I The vestibule on the north side of the City Hall has a history of leaking with every
rainfall, no matter how minimal the amount of rain. This problem has caused a
I severe mold problem in the insulation and carpet. The wood ceiling is starting to
warp and paint will not hold to the block walls. Because of the mold problem, a
very strong odor permeates the entry area.
. B. Furniture
Previously, I had mentioned the problems with our existing furniture not being
. ergDnomically correct. Most desks are not adaptable for computers, chairs are in
some cases in very poor shape and filing space is at a premium. This is an item
.- which could be purchased now with the intent to reutilize the furniture at a new
.
~
location. The difficulty I anticipate is trying to find furniture or workstations .-
which would fit in our current crarnjied quarters and be appropriate for a new
facility. I
The Council may wish to consider utilizing a one time expenditure from the
gambling proceeds to pay for this item. I
C. Carj)eting
The carpet throughout the building is extremely worn out. Attempts to clean the I
carpet have not been successful. I believe that by replacing the carpet it would
also reduce some of the mold and insect problems. In the area of the entry way, I
would recommend a new linoleum or a hard surface be installed rather than I
carpet. ,
2. Potential Future City Hall I
As I mentioned, the key to undertaking the items listed above is the timing for a potential
future City Hall. The most critical element of the timing for this facility appears to be I
location.
The Council had previously identified the preferred location on the south side of Sunfish I
Lake on Highway 96. It appears that the City has reached consensus with the Vento
Reutilization Committee on this area being made available for a Government Center.
This being accomplished the question now is how and when could the property be made --
available for this use.
Congressman Vento has indicated a desire to submit legislation yet this Fall for the I
purpose of releasing land. I do not expect such a bill to be passed any earlier than mid
1996. An unanswered question is, even if such a Bill is passed, what date would the
property be available. While I may be proved wrong, the earliest I would see the land I
available is 1997. Should the date extend beyond 1997, the Council should consider
discussing other available sites. I
, Conclusion
~.
Staff would recommend the Council consider moving forward with obtaining estimates I
on improvements to the current facility. At the same time, Staff should continue to
review the adequacy of the old plans and clarify some of the timing issues,
Staff would expect to come before the Council at a regular Meeting to pursue formal I
action on any proposed improvements to the current facility.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY .
,
The City Hall committee unanimously recommends that the Arden Hills City Council pursue the .
construction of a new City Hall and Public Works Facility.
No recommendation is made at this time for a specific site or whether both City Hall and the .
Public Warks Facility should be on the same site.
Four general site areas have been identified from thirteen candidate sites identified by the Planner .
as generally available and of an-appropriate size.
It is the further recommendation of the committee that the City Council consider retaining a .
consultant to finalize the building programming effort begun as a part of this study and that site
analyses be done on the four candidate sites for purposes of identifying the best site for a new .
City Hall, and also to resolve the desirability, from a building design and site planning
standpoint, of locating the Public Works Faeility on the same site.

INTRODUCTION
I
I CHARGE TO THE COMMITTEE ".
The Arden Hills City Council authorized the organization of a Citizens Committee on January
I 8, 1990, to study the feasibility of constructing a new City Hall facility and to make
recommendations in response to issues which surfaced in relation to the facility. On January 22,
1990, the Council reaffIrmed this direction and appointed the committee which has developed the
I recommendations contained herein. The study was to consist of reviewing existing facilities,
identifying future needs of the '\;onununity and the potential for a conununity center facility to
serve those needs, possible site locations, fInancing alternatives and architectural design concepts
I within the range of its examination.
OBJECTIVES
I.... The primary objective of the study was to examine the viability of existing City Hall facilities
1-. and to offer a recDnunendation for appropriate future facilities. While each member of the
committee certainly brought hislher own particular biases with regard to the existing facilities or
the desirability of a new facility, there was no pre-conception of a fInal result for this effort
I Among other objeetives to be examined were the following:
I: 0 An evaluation of existing facilities
- Condition
Required/reconunended repairs.
I: 0 An evaluation of current and future space needs
Ii 0 Candidate sites for a new facility
0 Consideration fDr an Arden Hills Conununity Center
I' 0 IdentifIcation of fInancing alternatives

PROCESS ..
The City Hall Study Committee held its fIrst meeting on February 21, 1990, and discussed its
charge as outlined in the January 19, 1990, memo from City staff, the Mayor and Council, and. .
received basie information on existing facilities from staff.
The Committee generally set its course for a study to conclude by year end. .
The Committee detennined that the followi~ issues needed to be addressed in its evaluation of .
the new for new City Hall and Public Works facilities. Listed below is a summation of the
issues addressed during the committee meetings held in 1990:
FEBRUARY 21, 1990: The Committee held. its fIrst meeting this date. The following .
. "~ department heads were present: City Administriltor Gary Berger, Park Director John Buckley and
Public Works Superintendent Dan Winkel. The department heads conducted a tour of the I
existing City Hall and Public Works facilities and detailed several current deficiencies of the
buildings. Discussion during the tour included: Inadequacies of the Council chambers, lack of
office space, employee lounge area and records storage in City Hall, and lack of adequate .
ventilation and storage for vehicles and equipment in the Public Works Facility.
MARCH 21, 1990: The Committee heard from Tom Simonson, Assistant City Manager for the I
City of Shoreview, regarding the planning and construction phases of Shoreview City Hall and
Community Center facilities. Mr. Simonson was able to provide insight into successful strategies -.
for development of the new facilities and also discussed how some phases of the project may
have been handled differently.
Planner John Bergly was present and discussed current demographic data relating to Arden Hills, .
which included: Population projections, arsenal property acreage (should the land become
available) and remaining commercial, industrial and residential land. .
Department heads Berger, Buckley and Winkel presented a preliminary needs assessment for City
Hall and Public Works facilities. I
oj 1-
APRIL 19,1990: The Committee heard from Paul Donley, Facilities Director for School District
,r.; 621, regarding district demographics. Mr. Donley was requested to appear at the meeting to .
discuss the possibility of utilizing shared facilities with the District.
Diane Traxler, representing Decision Resources, was also present to outline the background and I
procedures the company uses to conduct a citizen survey. Mr, Traxler also discussed the
utilization of the data compiled from the survey to assist the committee in evaluating the need
for new faeilities in Arden Hills. .
The Committee requested that staff contact Ramsey County and the University of Minnesota
Extension Services regarding the possibility and/or need for shared facilities with either of these .

I- agencies.
MA Y 16. 1990: The Committee reviewed cUrrent services provided by City staff and projected
I possible services which may be provided in the future. -
Park Director Buckley reported on discussions with staff at the University of Minnesota
I Extension Services Department and advised there does not appear to be an interest for utilizing
shared facilities at this time.
I City staff provided the Committee with a list of deficiencies in the existing facilities for their
review and future reference.
I Public Works Superintendent Winkel analyzed the advantages/disadvantages of a "stand-alone"
Public Works Facility.
I JUNE 20 & 21, 1990: The Committee, along with various staff members, attended tours of
recently constructed or newly-remodeled municipal facilities in this area. Tours included: Circle
I Pines, New Brighton, White Bear Lake and Shoreview. Representatives from each city were
present to discuss the use of the facilities, pros and cons of the development and construction,
and the financing used to ~.omplete construction.
I JULY 18, 1990: Administrator Berger and Public Works Superintendent Winkel discussed the
existing City Hall and Public Works facilities as relates to current space/storage deficiencies and
I- future projected need for space/storage.
Committee member Mike Olson volunteered to prepare an interim report of activities for Council
I review at their regular meeting held August 13.
Members Brad Lemberg, Ward Sessing, Steve Erickson and Dennis Probst volunteered to serve
I on a subcommittee to review the structural integrity of the existing facilities,
" Administrator Berger advised he will provide the Committee with a copy of the results of the
I Citizens Survey at the October 1990 meeting.
AUGUST 1990: No meeting held.
I' SEPTEMBER 19. 1990: Planner Bergly appeared before the Committee to discuss potential City
Hall sites and presented a site evaluation scheme example for committee review.
I The subcommittee reported on the structural integrity of the existing buildings and concluded that
I" both buildings are highly deficient and noted lack of proper ventilation in the Public Works
building and lack of energy efficient materials and deterioration of foundation materials in the
City Hall building.

INVENTORY/ANAL YSIS
.
. INVENTORY
Over the ten months of this study, several members of the Corrunittee examined the existing
'-
. facilities. The following commentary summarizes the results of those reviews. Also included
herein are the building program summaries developed by the Corrunittee with the assistance of
City staff.
i. Facilities Site -
. Both the City Hall and the Public Works building are presently located on City-owned propeny
on the south side of Highway 96 between TH 51 and Hamline Avenue, directly aeross from the
arsenal property.
. Other areas, such as the new water tower base, are presently used for Public Works equipment
.- storage. These areas are remote from the main facility and cause problems having to travel tD
use equipment, and also cause equipment inventory problems.
. The present facilities site backs up to residential propeny and is somewhat limited in future
expansion.
- The question that must eventually be answered or determined is whether both the City Hall and
Public Works should be on the same site, or whether they should be on separate sites.
- '
. Since only a limited number of sites are still available within the City limits, other than the
Arsenal propeny, this decision must be made without delay.
r
. There are advantages and disadvantages, both to siting both facilities on the same piece of
propeny or to splitting them and placing the two on separate properties,
. The Staff, Council and a future consultant must carefully weigh the alternatives to make the final
determination.

Citv Hall Evaluation ..
The present City Hall is quite inadequate, both. for staff needs and the public needs. There is not
sufficient office space, special and normal work space and meeting space. The Council chambers_ .
are cramped and inefficient. Public access, public restroom facilities and Dther related items are
poor, and do not meet today's or future needs of the community. .
Parking space at City Hall is very limited, and is not adequate fDr large attendance at meetings.
The building has been added to and is not efficiently laid out to perform the services required. .
Storage space is almost nonexistent. Valuable and required records are stored in the public works
garage and other non-fire protected areas. .
The City Hall building is presently not energy efficient and certainly does not meet today's
standards. Serious deficiencies exist with the current heating and cooling systems and repair are .
regular and becoming increasin~ly more expensive.
The appearance of the building, both exterior and interior, dDes not meet the image of the rest .
of the City. More importantly, the building is experiencing severe deterioration of its exterior
"skin" and is in need of repair.
The present and projected future space needs, detennined by the combined Committee and staff, .
are far from the space that presently exists. The space provided was adequate 25 years ago, -.
before expansion of the City population and City services; however, it is no longer adequate in
today's society.

Arden Hills Survey
I As part of the Arden Hills Survey (Survey and Executive Summary are attached as Appendix B.)
I residents were asked about the need for a new City Hall. Their response is summarized as
follows:
-
I "After being informed of the inadequacies of the present City Hall, a fIfty-eight percent to
twenty-nine percent margin favDred the construction of a new one, A majority would support
a multi-use facility containing space to be rented to other government bodies. The current site
I for this new facility was favored by sixty-four percent of the sample; no other site generated
much enthusiasm. A popularly supported community center addition would contain only meeting
rooms for community center addition facilities and an indDor swimming pool were opposed by
I'. strong majorities. The residents split, though, in their support for a stand-alone City Hall versus
one with a community center addition: , thirty-seven percent prefer the former, while thirty-nine
percent opted for the latter. By a narrow forty-seven percent to forty-fIve percent margin,
I residents would support a bond referendum for a new City Hall. They would oppose a
combination City Hall-Community Center bond referendum by a fIfty-eight percent to thirty-six
percent margin. Neither of these margins bode well for a successful special election bond
Ii referendum. Under these circumstances, the City may wish to investigate funding alternatives
which do not require a bond referendum election."
.,.~
11 ANAL YSIS
I) Possible Solutions
Several alternatives were discussed by subcommittee that should be considered by the City.
I These are as follows:
A. RetrofIt and expand both buildings on the present site
I: B. Build totally new facilities on alternate sites
1
i. 9
I'
( I
I)
r .
C. Build a new City Hall on a more accessible site and enlarge the Public Works on the . .
present site by retrofitting and joining the two buildings to make only a Public Works .
Facility
.
-
All of these alternatives are beyond the scope of study by this Committee.
It is therefore recommended that a qualified consultant be selected to do an in-depth study of I
all questions and to make fmal recommendations to the City based on their comprehensive study
of the problems at hand. .
Possible Solutions Costs .......
New City Hall facilities are estimated to cost in the range of $80-100 per square foot for totally .
new facilities, This translates to a $670,000 to $840,000 projeet for a new facility. Retrofit of
the existing building is estimated at $40-60 per square foot of the existing building plus the .
added cost of adding onto the e_xisting building to provide the total facilities needed.
New Public Works facilities are estimated at $60-80 per square foot. Again, the cost of retrofit .
would be $40-60 per square foot plus the new costs for added facilities. These costs translate
to a $1.3 to $1.8 million project cost for a combination of new and remodeled facilities. .
Expansion and retrofit of both buildings on the present site could cause serious crowding of the
site, and. therefore future problems. -.
Estimated square foot costs shown herein are based on today's cost and should be adjusted to
reflect to the acrual anticipated time of construction. I
Candidate Building Sites
The City Planner provided the "Available Sites" diagram which follows. From the total of .
thirteen candidate sites, the Committee reduced the list to the following four basic loeations:
--.. .
.. 0 Existing site (#2)
0 The Arsenal at Hamline and Highway 96 (#1) I
0 Lexington Fox (#11)
0 Gateway Business District (#5, 6 and 7) I
Each site has advantages and disadvantages associated with its selection. Those sites which were I
eliminated were considered to be undesirable either because of their remote locations or because
City Hall was deemed to be an inappropriate use at a given location. .
10 e.
II .
' I
L-1
I
I.,. In addition to site size and location. the City Council must cDnsider other non-technical but
certainly equally important issues such as image. ie-development potential and contribution to
',-.:'" development of a "city center" location, among others.
'I -
When final site evaluations are executed, the Conunittee strongly recommends that a criteria
matrix similar to that included herein be developed to fairly examine all the candidate sites.
I Financine: Alternatives
I Financing alternatives for new facilities were discussed with Jim Casserly/City Development
Consultant, Since the construction of a City Hall is not a revenue-producing enterprise, methods
of financing are somewhat limited (How the debt is structured is another matter and will be
I briefly discussed.).
.- General Obligation Bonds
0
I The issuance of G.O. Bonds is the customary approach to the financing of a capital
improvement such as a City Hall, G.O. Bonds must be approved by a majority of
I electors voting on the question of issuing the obligations. If the issue is under $1.2
million (total amount in any twelve-month period), it may be sold at a public or
I private sale. The payment of the debt is not included in the City's levy limitations.
Generally, a city cannot incur debt in excess of 2 percent of its market value.
..,.-
Ie 0 Certificates of Participation
A non-traditional approach is the use of certificates of participation. The certificate
"
I holder has a right to participate in a lease that the City has executed. The City leases
the building on a yearly basis and appropriates funds annually to make the lease
payments'. However, the City can refuse to appropriate for the lease payments and
I vacate the property. Certificates, are not general obligations of the City and, as a
result, will not have a competitive a rate as a G.O. Bond.
I Certificates do not have to be approved by the voters, are not subject to levy limits
or the limits on net debt and can be sold publicly or negotiated. The certificate
,- payments will appear identical to a bond structure.
I 0 Self-Financed
I Another non-traditional approach, the City could essentially lend itself the money to
pay for the project and then pay itself back in a manner similar tD the Certificate of
I Participation.
I
e 11
I
, ,
[ I
I
.
It would appear that the City might be able to do this given the site of the proposed ..
project; however, there are significant policy issues to resolve with this approach.
In conclusion, unless the City can pledge other sources of revenue, the entire funding. .
for the City Hall will come from a levy of the debt service or the lease payment on
all the taxable property of the City. . .

-' RECOMMENDATIONS
I
I The Committee appointed by Council has studied the information provided during the Year 1990,
as surrrrnarized earlier in this report and as detailed in the Appendices, regarding the need for new
City Hall and Public Works facilities in Arden Hills.
I Based on the examination of the current facilities and the following findings: (1) Insufficient
.- space for meetings, conferences, employee cafeteria/lounge, records/equipment storage and
I general office use; and (2) DefiCiencies in structural integrity, ventilation, energy efficiency and
deterioration of foundation of buildings.
I The Committee unanimously recorrrrnends to the Arden Hills City Council the construction of
a new City Hall and Public Works Facility.
I The Committee also concluded that facilities totaling approximately 20,000 square feet in size
would be adequate, and after review of the sites available in the City that could be utilized fDr
-. this purpose, find that several excellent candidate sites exist.
I.
The Committee discussed shared facilities with other agencies (Ramsey County, School District
I 621, University of Minnesota Extension Services and cable television) and there does appear to
be an interest in a joint effort with the school district for meeting spaces.
I', City Staff concurs with the Committee recommendations, and suggests a work session to be held
with Council and Decision Resources representatives to discuss communications/marketing
strategies, and with Jim Casserly to discuss financing strategies for new facilities, If Council
I, concurs with the above recommendations, they should schedule discussion of these items at a
future work session.

I' TCAAP Reutilization Committee
. Recommendations Made 9/30/95
1 DRAFT -
The Twin Cities Army AmmunitiDn Plant (TCAAP) , located in Arden Hills, Minnesota, is
1 currently owned and operated by the Department of the Army_ Comprised of apprDximately
2370 acres, this Plant was used exterisively during World War II. the Korean War and the
Vietnam Conflict. Sinee 1976, most of TCAAP has been in a modified caretaker status. The
1 Army has since signaled its intention to excess much of the property back to local controL
In 1991, the site was d~c1ared "in excess" of Army needs. In 1994, at the request of the Army,
1 Army Munitions and Chemical Command (AMCCOM), and the General Services
Administration, Congressman Ven:v appointed a committee of local individuals to consider and
plan for future reuse of the site. This committee has worked for a year developing plans and
1 building consensus within the community, (See attached Vision and Mission statements, and
Chronology of Events.)
1 Based on years of munitions production, much of TCAAP is cDntaminated with solvents and
unexploded ordnanees. In fact, this property ranks as the number one Superfund site in the state
of Minnesota. Cleanup efforts are underway fDr those sites which have been identified as
1 contaminated. There is strong indication that many other areas are free of contamination, and
could be transferred back to the community for reuse. Cleanup timetables are uncenain,
1 . depending on level and types of contamination and funding. In addition, the Army has sent
conflieting messages about their willingness to turn this property back to the local cDmmunity.
1 While researching potential reuse of the property, the committee determined that legislative
action was used to transfer at least two other similar properties in other locations. The
committee agrees that this type of action is preferable to expediting the transfer process, and
1 recommends that Congressman Vento and the other members of the Minnesota delegation
consider federal legislation to expedite the timely and orderly transfer of prDperty, while
ensuring cleanup Df the site by the federal government, back to the state and/or local
1 cDmmunities, and that the delegation work with the appropriate committees in Congress to effect
this 'transfer.
1 RECOMMENDATIONS
The Rice Creek Corridor is a resource that should be available for recreational opportUnities and
1 protected to ensure an adequate link f(,r wildlife migration to and through the TCAAP facility.
This segment of Rice Creek cDmpletes a cDntiguous 16-mile public corridor from the Mississippi
to the Chain of Lakes and beyond. Recreational opportUnities should be available to the public,
land may include eanoeing, biking and hiking. The Corridor and other appropriate areas of open
space should be made accessible to all. The view shed, oak stands and other trail amenities in
this area should also be prDperly protected.
1 The wetlands comprising Marsden Lake are both beautiful and crucial to maintaining water

proposed fDr the site and protected. .
.
The southeastern quadrant of the site, including Sunfish Lake, represents a significant- .
opportunity to both preserve the uniqueness and beauty of the area, as well as address the
various constiultional/governmeIltal functions, To that end, it is reco=ended the Lake be .
protected by 150 foot setbacks. 'Both passive and active uses are envisioned for this site,
including the development of an historic/nature interpretive center. a government center, the
location of a new school to acco=odate new housing, and a city park. Intergove=ental .
cooperation is eneouraged in and around the area to make certain that the site is used in such
a manner as to avoid duplication of services. Further, development in the area should be done
in a manner which ensures proteetion of the state-threatened plant growing there, the Desmodium .
illinoense (Illinois Tick- Treefoil),
Future population and other circumstances may dictate a need for more educational space. If .
the need develops for greater eduational space, school development should be designed in such
a manner as to minimize the amount of land needed, to use the features of the land in such a
way as to encourage that it does not infringe upon nor use open space. .
The prairie pothole formation on the northern portion of the property is a valuable testament to .
the geDlogic heritage of this region. As such, the area should be protected as part of the planned
open space, tD be preserved for the enjoyment of all.
The eentral portion of the TCAAP site provides an opportunity to protect some unique features, -.
including the kames and the Desmodium illinoense plant. This area includes the gravel pit,
which has been carved into a portion of one of the glacial kames. This primarily upland area .
should be included in the planned open space, in conjunction with Marsden Lake to the east and
a corridor leading to Rice Creek to the west as part of a larger contiguous open space area.
A joint co=unity athletic complex should be included. Comprised of at least 70 acres, this .
cDmplex will benefit the citizens of the surrounding co=unities. The most likely location is
within the northern portion of the property. surrounded to the southeast, south and west by open .
space, and to the north by Institutional land, and to the northeast by housing. Should it become
clear' in the interim that this land is unavailable, the fields may be located elsewhere.
Commercial, office and industrial development opportunities exist on this property which will .
benefit the surrounding co=unities and the larger metropolitan area. It is important to create
an environment which encourages a broad range of development opportunities and jobs. To that .
end, a minimum of 212 acres should be set aside for co=ercial. office, industrial development.
The development should correspond to areas already developed along the edges of the property
as it borders Highway 10, Interstate 35W, and Highway 96. .
StDrmwater retention ponds whieh may be needed should be kept within the developed areas of
the site, outside of designated open space. Developers should retain responsibility fDr locating .
these ponds within their own development areas.
e.
Buffer zones are needed between the residential areas and critical areas of the park preserve.
.
.
.
. These buffer zones could be used for either passive natural areas or active recreation.
.
Housing on the faeility should be construeted in locations whieh do not impinge on the natural -
. resources to be protected. It can be situated on the northern portion of the property, abutting
County Road I. east of the proposed undesignated institutional land, and abutting joint
. community athletic fields. Housing also may be located on a portion of land between
commercial/industrial/office space development and the buffer zone designated as "active/passive
recreation" . It may extend all the way down to Highway 96 in the south. The principles
. embodied within the Metropolitan Livable Communities Act should be supported. The Act
creates incentives for developing connnunities to include a full range of housing opportunities '
. to preserve and rehabil\tate affordable !10USing.
A maintenance facility, to be oper;.ted jvintly by Ramsey County, the City of Arden Hills, and
. the,N ational Guard, may be situated on the property within the confmes of the developable areas
indicated in this plan.
. Transportation for the site should be designed and built in a manner that is sensitive to the
enVlrDnmem. It should include an internal system of roads that is transit friendly. The
transportatiDn plan should link TCAAP to the rest of Arden Hills and adjacent communities as
. well as to the regional transportation system; encourage alternate travel modes such as biking
and walking by creating pedestriall-friendly environments and link activity centers with trails and
Dther non-vehicular routes; include public transit; and promote desirable development patterns.

. TO: Oak Grove Trust Members
FROM: Gary P. Gengel, Common Counsel
. DATE: October 13, 1995
. RE: Individual Claim Form Under the Landfill Cleanup Program
. Attached please find an Individual Claim Form to be completed by each member.
regardless of class of settlor, who wishes to seek reimbursement from the State under the
.- Landfill Cleanup Program.
If you wish to seek reimbursement from the State under the Landfill Cleanup
. Program, you must complete the attached Individual Claim Fonn and return the
completed original to me by October 25. 1995.
. As stated in the September 28. 1995 mailing. by October 25, 1995. each member who
would like to seek reimbursement from the Slate must submit to me a completed Individual
Claim Form (attached). The Individual Claim Form should reflect the amount of money the
. member would like to request for reimbursement from the Slate under the LCP.
The reason this form is being used is that members cannot seek reimbursement for
. costs that the member has already been reimbursed for, such as costs reimbursed by an
insurer. II: Drder to 2resef';'e the confidentiality of any insurance settlement, individual
members will not have to reveal the amount of an insurance settlement to the State or to me.
. Individual members will simply submit a tlgure to me representing costs for which the
member is seeking reimbursement. I will compile these figures and submit one figure to the
Slate.
. Again, if you wish to seek reimbursement, ple2Se return the original completed
Individual Claim Form to me by October 25. 1995.
. If you have any questions, please contact me or Waverley Eby Booth at (612) 334-

Hopkins, MN 55343
I Dear Mr. Bury:
In regard to your letter dated October 3, 1995, it is the City's opinion that Midwest Asphalt
I has not, in good faith, put their best effort into completing this job. There are too many
issues to be addressed and work yet to be completed for the City to remit the $15,000
I previously withhold. However, as the City warming house and three basement issues have
':::'Ill ENGiNE=:RING been resolved, this amount will be reduced to $8,000 on future pay estimates.
EN'JIRC0lMENTAL
I.UNiC?Al Many days of good weather have passed with no attempt being made to complete the
~LANNING project. Very little grading or sodding has been done, there is a sediment pond outlet to
SOLID WASTE be moved, and ditches to be cleaned. A large portion of the storm sewer must be cleaned,
I SiRL:GURAl hydrants moved, trees trimmed, and many odds and ends to be corrected.
SURVEY:NG
rRAFF:C In addition to these items, there are at least $1,800 in City costs which have been billed to
I ;RANSPCRT..::..;ICN Midwest Asphalt, with no formal response.
:LEC~'C;:'l. '.\EC~ANI().L Under these circumstances, and considering you are one month beyond the contract
I :NG:NEEi__G completion date of this project, the City will continue withholding furore payments until

Subject: 1996 NSCC Budget
I Dear Ms. Wilson:
I The Arden Hills City Council has reviewed the proposed 1996 Budget for the North
Suburban Cable Commission (NSCC). While the City Council is not opposed to the
I- proposed budget, they have requested that] communicate several concerns.
Specifically, they are concerned that the budget continues to increase at a rate in excess
I of 10 to 15 percenT. While this increase would not be so significant if offset by
increased revenues, revenues appear to remain unchanged. Our concern is, that by
regularly utilizing reserve accounts to the levels proposed, the Commission and
I members Cities could potentially be faced with future significant contribution
mcreases.
I ] would propose to meet with you at your convenience to discuss these concerns. I
have also provided the Public Service Survey you had encouraged us to return to you
for completion.
I I appreciate your assistance and look forward to hearing from you for the pupose of
scheduling a meeting.

. HIGHWAY 96 CONSTRUCTION STAGING/COORDINATION
PO~SEGMENTSFORCONSTRUCTION
October 2, 1995
I The following is a list of segments of Highway 96 that could be considered for construction as
separate projects. The list was developed '[or discussion purposes. The criteria for identifying
. the prDject segments were that segments should be one to two miles in length, one or two major
intersections should be included in each segment, and there should be a total of 4 to 5 projects.
. Although the segffients are listed in order from west to east this is not meant to imply any
specific sequence fDr construction. In addition, there are drainage, cost and traffic issues that
need to be evaluated before cDnstruction segments can be finalized.
. 1. Old Highway 8 to Trunk Highway 10- This entire segment will be affected by the
reconstruction of the interchange with 1-35 W. There are elements that could be done
. independently of the interchange if the interchange reconstruction is not expected to
occur for a long period of time.
.e 2. Trunk Highway 10 to Lexington Avenue - This would probably include the intersection
with Trunk Highway 10 but not the intersection at Lexington Avenue.
. 3. Lexington A venue to east of Hodgson Road - This could include the intersections with
Lexington A vneue and Hodgson Road. The construction segment could end midway
. between Hodgson and Rice Street
4. East of Hodgson Road to McMenemy - This segment would include the Rice Street
. intersection and potentially the intersection with McMenemy depending on the timing for
this segment.
I 5. McMenemy to Centerville Road - If this segment is constructed before the segment to the
west, the intersection with McMenemy should probably be included with this segment.
This segment would also include any improvements needed at the intersection with
I Centerville Road.

Minneapolis,
MN 55415
I 612/370-0700
Fax 612/370-1378 The purpose of this memorandum is to summarize the proposed roadway urban
design treatments and guidelines for the Highway 96 corridor. The overall Urban
I .nvec Design Enhancement Program was outlined in the Memorandum dated August 7,
waukee 1995. This memorandum provides more detailed information regarding specific
Minneapolis improvements as well as guidelines for enhancements which might be
I Orlando implemented by the cities that adjoin the corridor. The improvements discussed
Phoenix include:
Portland
I San Diego . Corridor Enhancements
Seattle . Intersection Treatments
. Special Features
. The memorandum also lists a number of key recommendations regarding the
corridor enhancements. If accepted, these recommendations will serve as the
. framework and provide direction for more detailed design in the next phase of the
project development.
I 1. CORRIDOR ENHANCEMENTS
I This section identifies enhancements which apply to the Highway 96 corridor in
general. The discussion includes items which would be part of the basic roadway
. project, such as general landscaping and the regional trail, as well as items which
would be the responsibility of the cities along the corridor, such as lighting.
.- Specialty items are discussed in the last section, Special Features.

A. PAVEMENT .
In regard to the pavement, there are two areas which warrant special .
consideration. One is the regional trail and the other is the curb for the roadway.
1. Regional Trail .
The regional trail, which will be located along Highway 96, represents a
special feature that will be used by bicyclists and pedestrians. Typically, .
bicycle trails are constructed of bituminous pavement with a black seal coat
finish.
a. Surface Finish I
One way to enhance the appearance of the bituminous trail would be to .
use red rock with the final seal coat. The red rock would provide the
trail with a more distinct appearance, in contrast to a black, bituminous
surface and it would give the trail a "warmer look" which will make it -.
appear more bicyclist and pedestrian "friendly."
Recommendation # 1: TRAIL SURFACE FINISH .
Use red rock as a surface finish for the regional trail to enhance its I
appearance.
I
b. Concrete Edge Bands .
A second way to enhance the appearance and durability of the regional
trail would be to install one-foot wide concrete edge bands on both sides I
of the traiL The concrete edge bands would:
. Provide a visual definition for the edge of the trail, which is .
helpful in twilight conditions or at night;
. Create a more stable edge for the path, which will help .
minimize crumbling of the bituminous pavement;
. Give the trail a "finished" appearance. -.

. The one-foot wide concrete strips, typically, can be formed with curb
extrusion equipment, making this a relatively easy item to install.
I Recommendation #2: TRAIL EDGE TREATMENT
I Install one-foot wide concrete edge bands on both sides of the
regional trail in order to improve its visibility and structural
. stability.
. 2. Roadway Curb
I Roadway curb-and-gutter is typically installed with a 6-inch wide top-of-curb
and varying gutter widths. An alternative curb treatment is to widen the
top-of-curb dimension to 12 inches. This type of an installation has a number
.- of positive advantages:
. It creates a more solid and stable curb section, which provides better
I resistance to damage and deterioration;
. It creates a wider ledge for lawn mower wheels to ride on, which
I contributes to safer maintenance operations;
. It improves the visual appearance, since grass does not hang over
I into the gutter.
Although this would appear to be a more expensive installation, our
I experience has shown that the wider curb top adds relatively little, in terms of
the overall project cost, or, in some cases, on larger projects, the cost for the
I wider curb is the same as for a regular curb.
I Recommendation #3: CURB-AND-GUTTER DESIGN
. Install curbs-and-gutters with one-foot wide top-of-curb dimensions
for a more durable installation and better appearance.

B. CORRIDOR LANDSCAPING
In terms of landscaping for the Highway 96 corridor, two issues need to be ,
addressed: capital costs and maintenance costs.
1. Landscaping Capital Costs ,
Under the State Aid guidelines, only general landscaping for the roadway .
would be eligible for State Aid funding. Special landscaping treatments, and
specialty items selected by individual cities would not be eligible for State
Aid funding. Therefore, in the Concept Cost Estimates presented in the I
Memorandum dated August 7, 1995, only Item No.5, Landscaping, would be
eligible for State Aid funding. All other items would have to be funded by
the cities or from some other funding sources. I
In terms of the amount of available funding, Ramsey County's current e.
position is that up to 5% of the overall project cost could be considered for
the landscaping enhancements. If one assumes, for rough estimating
purposes, that the overall project cost for reconstructing Highway 96 is I
somewhere in the range of $15,000,000, and if one also assumes that all
eligible funding will be available, the budget for landscaping enhancements
would be approximately $750,000. .
The cost estimates for corridor landscaping, presented in the August 7, 1995
Memorandum, range from $135,000, for a low-level treatment program, to I
$640,000, for a high-level treatment program. Thus, it would appear that the
general scope of the proposed landscaping program is within the range of
potential available funding and could be implemented. I
The landscaping enhancement program, described in greater detail in the
August 7, 1995 Memorandum, calls for the following: I
. Landscaped medians for the whole length of the corridor, in order to
break up the expanse of pavement; .
. Groups of trees, shrubs, wildflowers and grasses planted in clusters,
in the medians as well as the boulevards, in order to permit filling in .
voids along the corridor, minimize maintenance costs, and
complement the natural look of the corridor; e
.
I
.
.
I Highway 96 - Roadway Treatments / Guidelines
,- October 2, 1995
Page 5 -
. . Smaller caliper trees, in order to optimize their survival rate and
achieve the maximum amount of landscaping.
, Recommendation #4: LANDSCAPED MEDIANS
, Install landscaped medians for the full length of the corridor in
order to break up large expanses of pavement.
,
, Recommendation #5: GENERAL CORRIDOR LANDSCAPING
ENHANCEMENTS
. Install the general corridor landscaping enhancements in clusters, in
.. order to create a more natural look, and utilize smaller size and
caliper landscaping materials, in order to optimize the survival rate
and maximize the amount of landscaping.
.
2. Landscaping Maintenance Costs
.
Maintenance costs for landscaped areas will range, generally, from 5% to
I 15% of the original installation cost, per year, depending upon the level of
care required. If the maintenance includes only mowing, occasional pruning,
and taking care of a small amount of special landscaping treatments, the
. maintenance costs will be at the lower end of the spectrum. On the other
hand, if the landscaping maintenance includes planting annuals, prunilJg and
shearing of hedges, taking care of irrigation systems, and meticulous pruning
, of trees, the maintenance costs will be at the upper end of the spectrum.
Thus, for example, for every $100,000 worth of landscaping materials
. installed in a project, maintenance costs could range from $5,000 to $15,000
per year, depending upon the complexity of and the type of landscaping
materials and treatments installed.
. In the case of the general landscaping enhancements for the Highway 96
.. corridor, Ramsey County would assume responsibility for mowing the grass
.
I
.
Highway 96 - Roadway Treatments / Guidelines .
October 2, 1995 .
Page 6 - .
and removing diseased and hazardous trees. Since the plan is to install the .
general landscaping in naturaL-looking groups or clusters, which should
require relatively little care and maintenance, most of the maintenance will be .
completed by the County. The cities would have virtually no responsibility
for maintaining the general landscaping, unless they want a more finished or
manicured look in their segment of the corridor. .
C. GENERAL CORRIDOR LIGHTING
Lighting for the Highway 96 corridor, to be installed as part of the basic roadway I
project, will be provided only at signalized intersections and in areas where
lighting is needed for special safety reasons. Any additional lighting, whether .
general roadway lighting or ornamental lighting for trails, walkways, or other
facilities, will be the responsibility of the cities along the corridor or other
agencies. .
Additional lighting in the corridor, besides the signalized intersection and safety
lighting, would be desirable, since it would improve the appearance of the -.
corridor, especially in relation to the many commercial developments and civic
facilities along the corridor, and additional lighting would create a safer
environment. It would also be desirable to have a uniform lighting treatment for I
the whole length of the corridor. Ideally, the cities in the corridor should agree to
either install lighting for the full length of the corridor, or not to install it. The
. issue is not so much that different segments of the corridor might have different .
levels of lighting as it is that there would be a marked contrast between a roadway
segment which has lighting and one which does not have any lighting at all. I
Recommendation #6: GENERAL CORRIDOR LIGHTING .
Install some general roadway lighting throughout the length of the
corridor, in order to upgrade the image of the corridor and to .
improve safety.
.
If roadway lighting is installed in the corridor, it should be generally uniform in
design and color. Since roadway lighting may be installed incrementally and at .
different times, based upon each city's program and availability of funding, the
lighting design should be relatively simple and easy to install and maintain. It -.
most likely would not be practical to specify one particular manufacturer or make
I

. of fixture, since this could cause problems with long-term availability and cost of
the fixtures. Therefore, a better approach would be to identify general guidelines
for the fixtures, so that each city can install them on their own terms and on their
. own time schedule.
The three critical criteria for the roadway light fixtures are their height and
I spacing, general design characteristics, and the color of the fixtures.
1. Fixture Height and Spacing
I The general height of the fixtures will be, most like, somewhere between 30
and 40 feet and the spacing may vary anywhere from 150 feet to 300 feet.
, Since the height and spacing of the fixtures will depend on the final roadway
design and location of landscaping materials, and since a much more detailed
analysis needs to be conducted to establish lighting levels and light
. distribution, final specifications regarding the height and spacing of the
fixtures will be prepared during the design development phase of the project.
.. Once the specifications are established, it will be expected that all cities,
which install light fixtures along Highway 96, follow the guidelines.
. 2. Fixture Design
I The recommendation, regarding light fixture design for the Highway 96
corridor, is to use a round, tapered pole with a round, "hatbox" fixture, which
has a flat lens and which includes cutoff features to minimize light spillover
. into residential areas. The rounded design of the pole and the fixture would
fit in well with the natural features of the corridor and would provide a
"softening" effect for the streetscape elements.
. The light sources of all light fixtures in the corridor should be high-pressure
sodium, which provides one of the best combinations of light quality, due to
I its "pleasant," "warm" light, long light life, and energy efficiency.
3. Fixture Color
. The two colors which would be highly appropriate for the corridor light
fixtures are a dark green, such as Forest Green, or dark blue, such as
, Midnight Blue. The dark green would complement the abundant landscaping
in the corridor and the dark blue would complement the many lakes. The
.- final fixture color will be selected before any construction begins.
.

October 2, 1995
Page 8 -
4. Lighting Maintenance I
Just as with landscaping, lighting maintenance requirements may vary, .
depending on the type of light fixture installed. The options for providing
light fixture maintenance include the following: having city crews do the
maintenance; requesting the local utility company to do it; or hiring a lighting I
maintenance company. The maintenance of light fixtures will require the
following: stocking of extra light poles, fixtures, and parts; replacement or
repair of damaged fixtures; and replacement of light bulbs and ballasts. .
Recommendation #7: GENERAL CORRIDOR LIGHTING ,
SPECIFICATIONS
The roadway light fixtures should have the following design ,
characteristics: round, tapered poles; round, "hatbox" fixtures;
cutoff provisions to minimize light spillover; a high-pressure-sodium -.
light sources; and they should have either a dark green or dark blue
finish (the final color will be selected, prior to the start of any
construction). .
D. ORNAMENTAL OR THEME LIGHTING .
Besides the roadway lighting, cities along the corridor may elect to install I
ornamental or theme lighting in or adjacent to the corridor. Although ornamental
or theme lighting should be coordinated with the corridor lighting, it is not
feasible to specify specialty-type lighting, since the designs of these light fixtures .
may be based on each city's desired overall design theme, or other factors.
The features or characteristics, which should be considered for ornamental or I
theme lighting, include: size relationship of the ornamental fixtures to the
roadway fixtures; location of the fixtures; and light quality.
1. Size Relationship .
Ideally, ornamental or theme fixtures should be (and most likely will be) I
shorter than the street light fixtures, in order to establish a hierarchy of sizes
and relationships. Ornamental fixtures, which usually are designed more to a -.
pedestrian scale, should be, in most cases, no taller than 25 feet, unless they
.
.
. Highway 96 - Roadway Treatments / Guidelines
,. October 2, 1995.
Page 9 -
. serve to light other roadways. The difference in height will help to provide
each fixture with its own area of influence and will minimize visual clutter.
I 2. Location
Ornamental or theme light fixtures should not be intermingled with the
. roadway fixrures, except in cases where a local roadway intersects Highway
96 or when a city wants to create an entrance feature or gateway statement.
If ornamental fixtures are installed along the regional trail or any other
I walkways along the corridor, they should be located on the property side of
the trail or walkway, in order to provide separation between the two types of
fixtures.
, 3. Light Quality
I In order to complement the overall lighting in the corridor, and to avoid
glaring contrasts, all lighting in the vicinity of the corridor should be either
.. incandescent, high-pressure-sodium, or some other light source with "warm"
color characteristics.
. Recommendation #8: ORNAMENTAL OR THEME LIGHTING
I Ornamental or theme light fixtures in the Highway 96 corridor should
have the following characteristics: they should be no taller than 25 feet;
they should be located away from the roadway lights; and they should
. use a light source with "warm"color characteristics.
.
II. INTERSECTION TREATMENTS
I In reconstructing the Highway 96 corridor, special attention should be paid to the
I design and treatments of major intersections. The intersections, starting with the
interchanges at I-35W and I-35E, are the arrival points to the corridor. In many
cases they are the entries to the various cities along the corridor, and they also
. serve as access points to major community facilities and complexes. Thus, the
intersections have great symbolic and civic value for the communities.
,-
.
---------
I
Highway 96 - Roadway Treatments / Guidelines .
October 2, 1995 .
Page 10 - I
In addition to their symbolic significance, intersections also represent points of .
congestion and conflict. The need to make decisions, signal lights, signs, turning
and crossing vehicles, and bicyclists and pedestrians, all contribute to a frequently I
confusing and complex situation. Therefore, although intersections warrant
special design treatments, care needs to be exercised not to aggravate the already
complex environments at intersections. A key design principle, in dealing with I
intersection treatments, should be to promote simplicity and clarity and not to add
overly distracting features or clutter.
The three components, at major intersections, which should be considered for I
enhancements or special treatments include the following: pavement, traffic
signals/lights, and landscaping. All of these treatments would qualify for State I
Aid funding and would be maintained by the County.
A. PAVEMENT TREATMENTS AT INTERSECTIONS I
Pavement treatments can be a very excellent way to add color and texture to a
streetscape. However, special pavements, generally, are effective only where e.
they can be seen at close range or where there is a lot of bicylist and pedestrian
traffic. In roadway corridors, where most of the viewers are traveling at 30, 40, or
50 miles per hour, such as will be the case in the Highway 96 corridor, special I
pavement treatments may hardly be noticed and would not be a cost-effective way
to spend limited resources.
The one special pavement treatment, which might be considered, would be to .
incorporate integrally-colored concrete, in order to add color and special I
emphasis, to the intersection areas. One way to do this would be to establish a
zone, possibly defined by a radius around the intersections, in which all
pavement, which is intended to be concrete, would be constructed of integrally- I
colored-concrete. Thus, concrete roadway pavement, concrete medians,
walkways, and trails within this zone would be constructed of
integrally-colored-concrete, in one or more colors. I
In order to provide design continuity and to allow for later installation of these
treatments by the cities as they develop specific plans for intersection areas, .
design guidelines will be developed during the design development phase and the
guidelines and specifications will be made available to all the cities in the
corridor. I

. Recommendation #9: SPECIAL PAVEMENT TREATMENTS
. AT INTERSECTIONS
Incorporate integrally-colored concrete in identified zones around
. the major intersections in order to add color and emphasis to the
intersections in the corridor.
.
B. TRAFFIC SIGNALS / LIGHTS
. There are three issues which need to be addressed regarding traffic signals:
special traffic signal designs; light fixtures affixed to the signal lights; and color.
. 1. Special-Design Traffic Signals
.e In order to create a unique and distinct look, some cities have opted to install
special or custom-designed traffic signals, either throughout the city or in
special districts. The Nicollet Mall traffic signals are one example of this
. type of an application. These custom installations can be very effective in
creating a distinct identity. They do, however, usually cost more and they do
require special care and maintenance. This option might be considered, if the
. County is willing to consider such a program.
2. Light Fixtures on Signals
. Since light fixtures will be installed on the signal poles, they should be
. coordinated with the overall designs for the corridor. Two scenarios need to
be considered: light fixtures are installed only on the traffic signal poles and
nowhere else in the corridor; or, the cities elect to include a lighting program
for the whole corridor.
I For either scen;rrio, our recommendation would be that the special corridor
I light fixture, discussed previously in the section on general corridor lighting,
be installed on the traffic signal poles. In that case, no matter what happens
with the rest of the corridor lighting, the light fixtures on top of the traffic
I signal poles would either fit with the rest of the light fixtures in the corridor,
or, if no other lights are installed, they would still provide a nice corridor
.- light "theme" treatment at the intersections.

3. Traffic Signal Color .
Colors of traffic signal systems can include a potpourri of multiple colors I
such as yellow for the bases, unfinished meta! in the middle, and some
special color for the light fixtures at the top. Other systems are totally
coordinated with everything painted a single color. The issue, in most cases, I
is the lack of coordination and the little extra care it takes to keep track of the
designated color and use it, when repainting the fixtures.
Our recommendation would be to try to coordinate the painting program and I
paint the total signal system assemblies in the designated corridor color
(either the dark green or dark blue, whichever color is selected). I
Recommendation #10: TRAFFIC SIGNALS / LIGHTS .
Install the corridor light fixtures on top of the traffic signal poles -.
and paint all the traffic signal assemblies, including ground-mounted
signal control boxes, the designated corridor color.
.
C. INTERSECTION LANDSCAPING .
Landscaping could be a key component for enhancing the intersections in the
Highway 96 corridor. The existing intersection areas are "open" and they lack I
landscaping or any kind of streetscape amenities. The only exceptions are the two
existing entry treatments for Shoreview at the Highway 96 intersections with
Lexington A venue and Hodgson Road. These treatments, however, are small in .
scale and are located a considerable distance from the roadway, which makes it
hard to see them.
Opportunities for landscaping treatments exist, typically, in the four quadrants of .
each intersection. In some cases, extra right-of-way already is available at these
locations. In other cases extra right-of-way or easements would need to be .
obtained. The corners would be ideal locations for installing sizeable groupings
of landscaping treatments including deciduous and evergreen trees. .
These landscaping treatments would help "green up" the corridor, they would not
clutter up the intersection -- in fact, they might help screen off some of the -.
adjoining developments from the intersections, and they would provide special
.

I
. Highway 96 - Roadway Treatments / Guidelines
,. October 2, 1995

I emphasis for the major intersections. The landscaping groupings could also be
utilized as backdrops for city entry monuments, in situations where the cities are
interested in constructing gateway or entry features.
I
. Recommendation #11: INTERSECTION LANDSCAPING
Install major groups or clusters of landscaping in the four quadrants
I of the major intersections in order to "green up" the corridor and
provide special emphasis at the intersections.
.
I III. SPECIAL FEATURES
In addition to the basic roadway treatments, the enhancement program for the
.e Highway 96 corridor also includes a number of specialty treatments or features,
which could be implemented by the cities along the corridor. The specialty items
or features include the following:
I . Special Landscaping Focal Areas
. Rest S tops for the Trail
I . Corridor Gateways
. City Entry Signs
. Special Feature Signs
I
All of the specialty items or features were identified and described in the
I August 7, 1995 Memorandum. The specialty items or features would be
constructed by, and would become the responsibility of, the cities in the corridor.
In general, the specialty items or features should be constructed by the cities
. according to their needs and specifications.
There are few guidelines or recommendations which can be provided for the
I specialty features. Items such as the special landscaping focal areas and the rest
stops for the trail should be designed to meet the needs of the cities. In fact, it
would be beneficial if the rest stops were all designed differently, because that
. would create more interest and variety. Other features such as the corridor
gateways, city entry signs, and special feature signs should be designed using
- some common overall parameters.

Recommendation #12: CORRIDOR GA TEW A YS
The corridor gateways should incorporate groupings of large I
landscaping materials to emphasize the "green" nature of the
corridor. I
I
Recommendation #13: CITY ENTRY SIGNS .
The city entry signs should be designed as low monuments with -.
bases of low landscaping materials, backed by groupings of taller
landscaping treatments. The signs can all be designed to reflect the
theme of each particular city, but they all should incorporate natural I
stone and they should be illuminated.
.
Recommendation #14: SPECIAL FEATURE SIGNS I
The special feature signs should be designed as low monuments with .
bases of low landscaping materials, backed by groupings of taller
landscaping treatments. They should include a corridor "theme
logo," they should incorporate natural stone, and they should be I
illuminated.

Mr. Brian Pritsinger
I City Administrator
City of Arden Hills
1450 W. Highway 96
. Arden Hills, MN 55112
. Dear Brian,
I apologize for missing the last several meetings and not fulfilling my obligations as the chair
. of the Arden Hills Economic Development Committee. In April of this this year I was accepted
into an accelerated medical school program to begin training as a Physicians Assistant. This
Is a dramatic turn around from my previous business background and one that is filled with
new challenges and opportunities. It also requires a significant commitment of my time and
1 energy. As a result, I find it necessary to resign my position on the Economic Development
Committee.
I .neve this committee should play a vital role in development issues facing the city. It also
requires a Chairperson who is able to attend all pertinent meetings and devote additional time
to addressing the many opportunities that exist with TCAP and the Planning Committee and
. City Council Issues concerning the cities business climate. My current classroom and
upcoming clinical rotations do not leave me with the time necessary to devote to these issues.
Therefore, I feel it necessary to resign and open the position up to someone who is able to
. address these issues.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call me.
.
Sincerely, P4-
