The low bid for re-carpeting in the old section of the building was $6,263.75 by Floor Design. As these I expenditures are non-budgeted items, the Council may wish to discuss a one time transfer from the Community Services Fund to pay for these improvements.

I UNFINISHED AND NEW BUSINESS I Roseville/Arden Hills Water Agreement City Administrator Fritsinger indicated the City currently purchases its water from the City of I Roseville.

Mr. Fritsinger noted City Accountant Post has been working with Attorney Filla and the City of Roseville on the preparation of an Agreement to amend this Contract.

The motion carried unanimously (4-0). I Planning Case #95-05, Ogren PUD. Park Dedication , Parks and Recreation Director Walsh indicated the park dedication fee has been calculated in accordance to Section 22-9, Public Use Dedication of the City Code. I Ms. Walsh noted the park dedication fee required from the Townhomes of Lake Valentine, has been adjusted due to the decrease in number of units from 16 to 12. The development project has been downsized to 12 units with the gross density in dwelling units per acre between zero and , two. Thus, the percentage dedication will be 6% of the purchase price of the property, which is $8,012.52. I Ms. Walsh reported if the Council does not feel that the purchase price accurately reflects the market value of the property, they do have the option of having the property appraised. City , Attorney Filla has reviewed the purchase agreement and concluded that the price reflected in the purchase agreement is justified for the undeveloped land value. ,. I . ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - OCTOBER 30. 1995 4 .. . . Ms. Walsh noted the cost for an appraisal can range from $800.00 - $3,000.00 based on the City's experience with past appraisals. She noted Staff would be concerned if any increase in value due . to an appraisal was minimal it would not justifY the additional cost associated with an appraisal. Ms. Walsh indicated Staff would recommend the park dedication requirement from the . Townhomes of Lake Valentine to be $8,012.52 cash in lieu ofland, based on the purchase price of the land. Staff recommends that this be paid in a lump sum before any building permits are issued. . Mr. Craig Wilson, 1677 West County Road F, recommended the Council require an appraisal, . because the sale of the land had not been recorded. Mr. Dan Ogren, 466 Old Farm Road, applicant in the case, indicated the sale of the land and I purchase price had been recorded at Ramsey County Court. Councilmember Keirn indicated the City Attorney has reviewed the purchase agreement and felt I the agreement was appropriate and in order. MOTION: Keim moved and Malone seconded a motion to approve park dedication -. requirement of$8,012.52 from the Townhomes of Lake Valentine in lieu ofland. The motion carried unanimously (4-0). Councilmember Malone indicated the determination of the park dedication fee is similar to . previously accepted park dedication fees. He believed the cost of an appraisal would not benefit the City nor the applicant. . Councilmember Aplikowski indicated the purchase price of the property is known and the fee is I established based on this price, and felt this to be appropriate. Mayor Probst indicated City Attorney Filla reviewed the issue and felt all the standards had been . met. Mayor Probst believed there was no reason to require an appraisal. Proclamation of Literacy Dav I Mayor Probst read a Proclamation declaring November 4, 1995, as "Celebration of Literacy Day" in Arden Hills. . MOTION: Malone moved and Keim seconded a motion to approve the Proclamation of Celebration of Literacy Day as November 4, 1995 in the City of Arden Hills. The . motion carried unanimously (4-0). .. . , , . ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - OCTOBER 30. 1995 5 , - Pay Estimate #2.1995 Street Improvements I City Engineer Stonehouse indicated based upon the work completed to date, the total amount of pay estimate number two is $139,166.56.

Mr. Stonehouse indicated if this pay estimate meets the Council's approval, it would be , appropriate to make payment to Valley Paving, Inc. in amount of$125,249.90. MOTION: Malone moved and Keirn seconded the motion to approve Pay Estimate Number I Two (2) to Valley Paving, Inc. in the amount of$125,249.90. The motion carried unanimously (4-0). I Mayor Probst indicated he was pleased with the project, with some final restoration still to be accomplished. I Pav Estimate #2. Perry Park Improvements ,- City Engineer Stonehouse indicated based upon the work completed to date, the total amount of pay estimate number two is $84,999.05. Of this amount, $8,499.91 will be retained from the partial payment. He noted this pay estimate includes turf establishment and the installation of I the irrigation system, among other miscellaneous construction items. Mr. Stonehouse indicated if this pay estimate meets with the Council's approval, it would be I appropriate to make payment to Veit, Inc. in the amount of$76,499.14. Mayor Probst inquired how much work was left to be done. Mr. Stonehouse indicated the , project is approximately 90% done, with some minor punch list items left and minor paving which will be done in the spring. I Mayor Probst inquired about barricades in regard to vandalism. Ms. Walsh indicated City employees continue to put up additional barricades as needed. She noted the damages from the vandalism have been repaired. I MOTION: Keirn moved and Aplikowski seconded a motion to approve Pay Estimate I Number Two (2) in the amount of$76,499.14 to Veit, Inc. The motion carried unanimously (4-0). , ,. , . . I ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - OCTOBER 30. 1995 6 - I Resolution 95-74. Awarding the 1995 Storm Water Drainage Improvements. City Engineer Stonehouse indicated the City received bids for the above project on October 26, I 1995. The low bidder, Jay Brothers, Inc., has worked with MSA on numerous projects, including various subcontracting jobs in Arden Hills. Mr. Stonehouse recommends that they be I awarded the contract for the Stormwater Drainage Improvements project Mayor Probst expressed concern for the wide variety of bids. Mr. Stonehouse indicated he felt . the bids varied because one of the bidders is not familiar with the type of work needed and the other bidder was a subcontractor for work on County Road F and perhaps inflated the price anticipating additional costs. I MOTION: Aplikowski moved and Keirn seconded a motion to award the contract for the Stormwater Drainage Improvements project to Jay Brothers, lnc in the amount of I $54,466.00. The motion carried unanimously (4-0). TCAAP Update I City Administrator Fritsinger the TCAAP issue is basically in a "stand by" mode, since the last -. Vento Committee meeting. Mayor Probst indicated it appears that certain individuals have made the City out to be the "bad . guy" in this issue. He noted the City has been very open during the entire process. Mayor Probst noted at the last public meeting held regarding TCAAP he understands many I people with opposing views did not comment for fear of being ridiculed. Mayor Probst indicated discussions are not through yet and comments will continue to be taken. . ADMINISTRATOR COMMENTS I MEETING DATES City Administrator Fritsinger inquired as to the scheduled Worksession for December 21,1995. I Council concurred that the Worksession will stand as scheduled on December 21, 1995. Mr. Fritsinger requested the December 25th meeting be rescheduled for December 26, 1995.

November 8th is the deadline for submitting such proposals. . COUNCIL COMMENTS Councilmember Malone investigated the anonymous letter which raised the issue regarding the . Fire Department and maintenance of trucks. He noted, in review, there are not many qualified persons able to work on emergency vehicles and a company that is owned by a member of the I Fire Department, EAM, is one of the few companies capable of maintenance of these types of vehicles. .- Councilmember Malone indicated he was satisfied with the response of the Fire Chief in regard to this matter. . Council member Malone also indicated the Fire Department wishes to address the Council at some future meeting. I Mayor Probst encouraged the Council and audience to provide names of candidates for outstanding citizens to the Northwest Family Youth and Services.

MEMORAl'lDUM I , DATE: October 18, 1995 I TO: Mayor and City Council Brian Frit~i~ger, CityAdministrato(~5i FROM: I SUBJECT: Livable Communities Act I Background Attached, the.City Council wiil find i!}formation which describes the Metropolitan Livable I Communi lies 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. I What Are the Issues Facin~ Arden Hills? Metropolitan communities have until November 15, 1995, to elect to panicipate in this program. While the Met Council has provided suggested goals, the City does' not necessarily have to adopt I these goals at the time it ejects to panicipate. 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 oniy meets one of these goals. , How does TCAAP Impact These Goals? Staff has tequested clarification from Met Council on the impact of TCAAP on these goals. The I initialteaction from Met Council is that they will consider any suggestions the City may have. Staff is considering whether these goals should be exclusive to TC4.AP or City wide. /vir. , Ringwald will present several ideas on this. at the Meeting. How Long is the City Committed to These Goals? I The City would be committed for one year. After that year both panicipation and goals are open for discussion. , Other Issues In order to qualify for many of the State funding programs, cities will be required to panicipate in this program. This issue does have a signiIlcant immediate impact on Arden Hills. I The financial assistance which is being pursued for Cardiac Pacemakers (CPI) will be subject to our panicipation. Should the Council elect not to panicipate, CPI will lose approximately I $250,000 in asbestos abatement funds. ,- , 2/1~ I 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 panicipate. Shorevi~w - and New Brighron are still considering participation. By comparing orher cities, it may provide some leverage to negotiate goals, should the City elect to participate. . I What's Next? I Staff would like to discuss potential ramifications ofpanicipation, 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 I decision on participation no laler than November 13, 1995. . . . I -. . I I I I I I -.

How to Use the Index Preparing Action Plans . The agreed-upon goals should be considered in the preparation of action plans by a communiry. The . action plan should be based on a comparison of its index to the benchmarks for each of the six measures across the three categories (affordability, life-cycle arid density). There are three possible situations for . each measure: the index is lower than the benchmark range. within the benchmark range, or above the benchmark range. In eacn case where an index is below the benchmark range, the ciry's action plan should set forth imple- -. mentation activities that will help it move towards the benchmark. For example, if a city has multifamily housing densiry thar is below the benchmark range, it should consider actions such as increasing the . densiry allowed in fi~ture development, imposing a minimum density standard, anciJor creating incentives to encourage higher density development, such as density bonuses in a Planned Unit Developmenr Orcli- [lance. . If an index is within the benchmark range. the city should plan actions to maintain its position within the range. For exanlple, if a city has an owner/rencer rrux 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 Lf'Je types of housing that would keep the city within the range. . If an index is above the benchmark range, the cicy's objective should be to stay within the range. For example, if a city has a percemage of single fanuly housing valued below S 115.000 that is above its I benchmark range, it can increase the amount of higher priced housing In the commuicy J.S long as lC does not result in the affordable ownership percent falling below the benchmarks.

I ;; Housing Goals Agreement I Definitions Affordability I Housing is defined as affordable if ie coses no more than 30~percem or a household's income. Tne Index. o..nd Benchmarks in the housing agreement are based on the followlog: I Ownership: homestead values for 1994 of 5115.000 Ot less. This is (he approximate unit COst affotdable to housholds wir.h incomes at 80-fJercenr of the L 994 regional median income. I Rental: 1990 c~nsus. ,ents of 5500 or less per month.

I By: By: Mayor Clerk I ---- ---- ----- I, -Eiva6Ie e' tt!l3 I. I 3 I g~ I LIVABLE COl\1l\1UNITIES QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS I L What is the Metropolitan Livable Communities Act? I The Metropolitan Livable Communities Acr ("Act") was eTUlcted in June 1995 and is the Legislawre's attempt to address various issues facing the seven-counry metropolitan area. The Act esrablishes a I Metropolitan Livable Communities Fund which consists of three accounts: the Tax Base Revitalizarion Account; the Livable Communities Demonstration A.ccount; and the Local Housing Incentives Account. I Metropolitan municipalities are not required to participate in the programs under the Act, but the Act provides incentives and funding to those municipalities thar do participate. I- - 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 improve their communities and neighborhoods. In addition, the legislation puts local units of govern- I menr in the driver's seat. Communities can not only choose whether to participate; they also have flexibilit'} in determining 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 fulfiils a commitment to I young families, single people and older residents that they can find a home they can afford in the com- muniry of their choice. I 4. What are "affordable" housing and "life-cycle" housing? I Housing is "affordable" if it COStS no mOre than 30 percent of a family's income. For ownership hous- l- ing this income amount is 80 percent of median, an amount that in 1994 could afford a home costing I 1?/13 . approximately $115,000. For rentai housing this income is 50 percent of median. In 1990 this was .. approximately $500 per month. - . "Life-cycle" housing refers ro housing available fof people at all stages of their lives, offering a choice and variety of housing types and. cost to accommodate people s 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 ("AlEDA 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 existinj/ affordable and life- . cycle housing. A participating municipality's AlEDA amou:nt Is established each year. . 6. Does the ALHOA amount have to be a property tax levy? No. The ALEDA amount can be derived from a levy, or iT can be derivedfromfimdsfrom another I source. Regardless of the source offu.ndsfor the municipality's AlEOA amou:nt, a participating munici-el paliry that did not meet its negotiaTed affordable and life- cycle housing goals, and did not spend 85 percent of its AlEDA amount to create affordable and life- . cycle housing opportunities in the previous year, mUST disTribute the entire AlEDA 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. If my municipality elects by November 15, 1995, to participate in the Local Housing Incen- . 7. tives Account Program, must the municipality spend an ALHOA amount in calendar year 1996? . No. Because of various timing provisions in the Act, ehe ALHOA amount requirement does not apply . until your municipality's election to pamcipare in the Local Housing Incentives Account Program made by November 15, 1996, for calendar year 1997. I 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 J 1/13 No. A.municipality is nor participating in the Local Housing Incentives Account Program unless two . . . conditions have been met: . a. The municipality has elecred to participate in the program; ruui. . ~ I b. The Metropolitan Council ruui. the municipality have lIegoriated ruui. agreed on affordable and life-cycle housing goats for the municipality. I If the mwzicipality and the Metropolitan Council do not successfully negotiate housing goals, your municipality may nor participate in the Local Housing Incentives Account Program . 9. Must my municipality participate in the Loe3l Housing Incentives Account Program? . No. Participation in the program is voluntary, but a municipality that does nor participate mcry at some . later time elect to participate in the program. However, a municipality which later elects to participate must establish tfuzr it has spent or agrees to spend on affordable ruui. life-cycle housing an amount I equivalent to what it would have spent on affordable and life-cycle housing had goats been established for the period in which the municipality was not parndpating. .- 10. If my municipality has met its housing goals in the previous e3lendar year, may my munici- 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 ajJordable and life-cycle housing goats. Your municipality still will be eligible for grcmts and 10= under the Livable Communities DemonsTration Account ruui. Tax Base . Revitalization Account programs. . 11. What if my municipality chooses not to participate in the Loe3l Housing incentives Ac- count Program? . Municipalities that elect not to participate in the Local Housing Incentives Account Program are not I 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 . 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 appiy for funds .- under the Department of Trade ruui. Economic Development's polluted sites clean-up program if your I ___n____ \1--/1';; '. municipality is not participating in the Local Housing Incentives Account Program. . . If my municipality elects to participate in the Local Housing Incentives Account Pi-ograJJ;l, 12. . 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 maimain affordable and life-cycle housing opportUnities still could 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 opporrunities and avail themselves of 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 rhe use of the funds is direcrly 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 I amounrs. 14. Are the goals for affordable and life-cycle housing, as proposed by the Metropolitan Coun- I ciI, achievable? I The goals proposed by the Metropoiitan Council are intended to be "long-rom" goals. Your munici- I paliry will esrablish an action plan that identifies the sreps your municipaliry imends to take to move roward irs long-range goals. Beginning in 1998, your municipaliry's annUilI progress in meeting its negotiated affordabie and life-cyclehousing goals will be measured against rhe onnl1111 goals your I municipaliry sets fonh its action plan. Progress toward the goals will depend on private marketplace effons, the availabiliry of affordable and life-cycle housing resources and the use of local controls to I create an environment to meet goals. . I I I 13//3 I 15. 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 lon~ I term in nature. The Metropolitan Council will propose affordable and life-cycle housing goals that - encourage your municipality to address key housing benchmarks. I 16. After the Metropolitan Council and a municipality negotiate and set affordable and life- I cycle housing goals for the municipality, what happens next? I The municipality must prepare an action plan that describes how it intends to meet irs negotiated goals. The municipality has until June 30, 1996, to submir the acrion plan to the Metropolitan Council. I 17. Does the Metropolitan Council have to approve the action plan? . The Act does not require the Metropolitan Councii to approve a municipality's action plan. However, I the Metropolitan Council will comment on the plan's content in relation to the negotiated goals that have been established, and it will arrempt to identify potential resources available to the municipality to .- help ,he municipality meet its negotiated affordable and life-cycle housing goais. What should the action plan look like? 18. I The suggested format will be modeled after the one used for the housing element of your comprehensive . plan. . . . I I I .

Fox (612) 457-2057 ~ I December 5, 1994 . , I City of Arden Hills 1450 West Highway 96 , Arden Hills, MN 55112 - RE: Application for Special Use Permit I Proposed ES"tvIR Cellular Telephone Antenna Facility by OneComm Corporation - I This letter accompanies an application for a Special Use Permit by OneComm that will allow the I location of an ESMR cellular telephone antenna and cell site on the City's Water Tower at 1230 Red Fox Road. I have been authorized by OneComm to act as their representative for planning and zoning matters. I ( OneComm is"clne of the largest Specialized Mobile Radio ("SMR") services in the United States. -, Last year, OneComm was granted a license by the Federal Communications Commission to operate an Enhanced,.'l:tvlR,.or ES:tvIR, in the Twin City market area. ESMR cellular is one of the newest emerging low-power wireless technologies that will compete with cellular. ESMR cellular I will look, sound and work just like traditional cellular but will have the advantage of also being able to provide paging, fleet dispatch and data transmission all with one portable handheld phone. ESMR cellular is digital and can handle more calls per channel than traditional cellular and , transmits at lower watts. PROPOSED USE I OneComm is proposing to place cellular antennas on the top and sides of the Water Tower. I Initially, three 15ft. whip antennas will be installed on the top. At some time in the future, the whip antennas will be removed and replaced with nine 4ft. by 1 ft. panel antennas attached to the sides of the tower as shown on the plans. The antennas will transmit and receive low power (50 , watts ERP) cellular radio signals. An unmanned equipment shelter measuring approximately 12ft. by 20ft. by 12ft. high will be I constructed at the base of the Water Tower. The shelter will have a brick finish to match the existing pump house. The shelter will be about 10 feet away from the base of the Water Tower. The plan shows the shelter on the southwest side of the tower, but it can be located anywhere , ( around the base of the water tower in order to avoid underground utilities and to meet setbacks. -, I - 1 , . i!lp I. The cables connecting the equipment shelter to the antennas will be above ground from the shelter to the inside of the fluted column wall of the Water Tower. The cables will then run up the inside I of the tower and come out of the top hatch and connect to the whip antennas. For the panel . antennas on the sides of the tower, a hole for the cabbies will be drilled through the fluted column wall so the cables will remain hidden. 1 ..... The site will only require single phase 200 amp electrical service and T1 telephone for utilities. These will be brought in underground. If permitted by the City, OneComm prefers to place 6 ft. , cyclone security fence around the shelter. , Ingress and egress to the shelter will be by a recorded easement utilizing the City's existing driveway and a segment of new driveway to be built by OneComm. The site will be visited approximately once a month by maintenance personnel using utility trucks. , A site plan and tower elevation are attached to the Application form. The drainage of the site will not be changed. , ZONING AND SPECIAL USE STANDARDS , The site is located in an 1-2 General Industrial District. All of the properties surrounding the site are also 1-2. ,- The site meets the City's standards for special uses. The development will result in minor alterations to the tank that will have no off site impacts. The equipment shelter will be in the rear I or side of the property away from the road. The antennas will be visually unobtrusive and go unnoticed by the casual observer. I New wireless communication technology has developed rapidly in the past few years and many new applications are vital to industrial and business uses. Business and industry will be seeking out and adapting to these new technologies to remain competitive as the new Information I Highway becomes a reality. Having access to these emerging wireless technologies will be an important amenity for the success of future business parks. I This site will enhance public safety and welfare because it will enable OneComm to bring this new ES1v1R cellular technology to Arden Hills. The ability to transmit data such as fax, paging and , computer data transmission will open a whole new way for business, individuals and government services to communicate. Police can use ES'MR cellular fax machines as parr of their drug enforcement program to obtain immediate search warrants when illegal activity is observed I without leaving the scene. Firefighters can receive faxed blueprints of a building in route to more safely fight fires. Ambulances can use it to transmit vital data to emergency rooms which allows the emergency rooms to be better prepared to receive injured accident victims. At spill sites, I hazardous material information can be obtained "on site" by accessing computer data bases throughout the country with an ESMR cellular modem. Motorists who do not have the cellular . , 2 1 /€j!lcp . , ( phones are benefited by this system. Passing motorists with a phone can place an emergency call .' or stop and give assistance. I ~ ESMR Cellular radio transmissions are very safe and pose no health risk. It is really nothing more than a low power two-way radio. ES:MR Cellular Uses low power to insure that the signal stays , within the designated "cell" so it will not interfere with neighboring "cells". The maximum output per channel for this antenna will be 50 watts per channel. The output for traditional cellular is 100 watts per channel. Television and radio station transmitting towers can range from 50,000 watts I to one million watts of power output. The question is often asked if the operation of a cellular antenna will affect home radio and , television reception. The use of the frequency spectrum is tightly controlled by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The ES:MR cellular system is operated in the same 800 MHz range as traditional cellular Both are at a higher frequency on the radio spectrum than , home radio and television frequencies. This is important because higher frequency users cannot interfere with lower frequency users. Since 1984 over 15,000 cellular antennas have been erected across the United States and there have been no documented instances of interference with home I entertainment equipment. .' r respectfully request that we be placed on the Planning Commission Agenda for January 4th. I , plan to attend the hearing to answer any questions or concerns that the committee or public may have. -, ( \ ~ r appreciate the assistance I have already received from the City Staff I look forward to working with you to provide ESMR cellular capability to Arden Hills.

Communiry Planning Coordinator Fritsinger briefly reviewed the application for requesting a I Special Use Permit to allow for the placement of antennas on the roof of the municipal water tower located at 1230 Red Fox Road. Mr. Fritsinger noted in addition to the SUP, the construction of an equipment building will require a Site Plan Review. I Mr. F rirsinger indicated the applicant is proposing to place antennas, panels and an equipment building at 1230 Red Fox Road. Mr. Fritsinger noted this proposal is very similar to the approved I use ohhe 4251 Fernwood Avenue water tower by Cellular One. .. Mr. Fritsinger stated in addition to the Special Use Permit and Site Plan Review, the City Council I will need to enter into a lease agreement for this proposal. lvjr. Fritsinger indicated this agreement would include the legal requirements and rental rates for this proposal and will refer to rhe Special Use Permit and approved site plan. .- I Mr. Fritsinger reviewed the findings of-staH. He noted the height of the proposed antenna and mounting is 16 feet 6 inches ih height and the water tower itself is approximately 150 feet in I height. / -I i , Mr. Fritsinger indicated thre~' Omini DB 810 antennas are proposed to be located on the roof of the water tower. These antennas' win be mounted to the existing pipe railing. Mr. Fritsinger noted the applicant is proposing nine fumre panel antenna locations which would I be constructed approximately 20 feet below the bottom of the bowl. These panels will be constructed en groups of three on the South, Northeast and Northwest sides of the tower. Mr. I Fritsinger indicated these panels are also present in the Cellular One agreement. Mr. Fritsinger indicated there is no requirement for screening of the antennas, but the antennas I and all materials will be painted to match the existing tower colors. Mr. F ritsinger indicated the proposed building is CO be a 12 x 20 foot brick shelter to match the I brick of the existing City pumphouse. Mr. Fritsinger added, a new 10 foot wide bituminous road will be constructed to access the shelter. Mr. Fritsinger indicated initially the shelter was proposed to be located on the southwest corner I of the property. After identifying several concerns as CO the proximity of the proposed building I to the neighboring property, the applicant relocated the building to the southeast corner of the tower, ~ Mr. F ritsinger continued, he indicated the site is visible from adjacent private indusrrial properties .1 to the south, east and west. He indicated scaff has worked with the applicant to locate the building such that its visibility is minimized from most directions. I I ---.- I /3 i1~ I. Arden Hills Plannin2" Minutes Pa2"e 3 1/04/95 I .- Mr. F ritsinger noted the applicant is proposing to plant four six foor high Colorado Spruce to I screen the building from the south.

I Mr. Fritsinger indicated staff recommends approval of the Site Plan and Special Use Permit #95-1 to allow for the construction of a equipment building and placement of antennas on the water tower located at 1230 Red Fox Road. I Mr. F ritsinger indicated the following conditions: I 1. The equipment building shall be screened as proposed in the Site Plan and additional trees be planted as amended on the plan by July 15, 1995. I 2. The antennas, panels and mounting brackets shall all be painted to match the color of the tower. I. \ - 3.

I Larson inquired if the installation would require lights. Mr. Fritsinger indicated it would nor. Rye inquired what would be the length of the lease. Mr. Fritsinger indicated it would be a five I year renewable lease. Rye inquired if the cost of repairing or removing of equipment should the applicant not renew . the lease is covered by the lease. Mr. Fritsinger indicated under the lease the applicant would be required to cover the cost of returning the tower to its original state. I Larson inquired if once the panel antennas are in place, the top antennas would be removed. Mr. F ritsinger indicated this to be true.

Carlson inquired if the cable would also be painted. Mr. Buell indicated the cable would run , inside the tower and would not be noticeable. After hearing no further comments Chair Erickson closed the public hearing at 7:48 p.m. I Carlson inquired if the applicanr is paying for the road improvements. Mr. Fritsinger indicated this is the case for all site improvements:.~" I Rye moved, seconded by Larson, to recommend to Council approval of Case #95-1, application for Special Use Permit for the placement of transmitting antennas on water I tower subject to stated conditions including at such time the Panel antennas be placed on the tower, the roof antennas be removed. Applicant - One Comm, Inc. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). I CASE #95.2. LOT SPLIT IV ARIANCE AT 4365 LEXINGTON A VENUE - APPLICANT. DWIGHT & PENNI JO CHESNUT I ( I Mr. F ritsinger briefly reviewed the request for a lot split to divide a 2.33 acre tract into twO lots. -. , \ Mr. Fritsinger indicated the lots abut Karth Lake, which is classified as a "Namral Environment" Lake and therefore requires a 150 foot setback from the Lakes's ordinary high water line. Mr. F ritsinger noted if the setback was not moved in the lot split, this would eliminate all but a small . triangle of land on L6~ A from being buildable, and would severely limit the construction on Lot B, the applicant is requesting lake setback of 75 feet, or a variance of 75 feet. Mr. Fritsinger noted the area and dimensions of both proposed lots far exceed ordinance I reqUlrements. Mr. F ritsinger indicated the City's Comprehensive Plan has two policies on shoreland I development that could be applied. The first states that "New development...shall endeavor to comply with DNR Shoreland Standards." The second states that "as redevelopment occurs...the I City will attempt to bring new construction into compliance..." Mr. Frirsinger noted rhe plan further indicated that much of the development on Karth Lake existed at the time the shoreland regulations came into effect. I Mr. F ritsinger nOted six of the ten nearest homes co the northwesr were consrrucred after the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan and do not conform to the Lake setback requirement, he I noted generally they have lakeshore setbacks in the 65 to 90 foot range. The Karth Lake area will , probably nOt be redeveloped to higher standards due to several factors: age, quality, locarion of I \ streets, and topography. -, I I IS(j(p I ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNqL - TANUARY 30.1995 4 .

Request The applicant is requesting approval ofa Final Plat for a 12 unit "Townhomes of Lake I Valentine" project on a 6.51 acre parcel in the R-I Single Family Residential Zoning District I- B. Update Subsequent to the City Council approval of the Planned Unit Development (PUD) on I October 10,1995, the applicant has made some modifications to the plan. These modifications are generally responsive to conditions of approval of the PUD. The primary modifications that were made to the plan were in regard to the reduction in the I number of units, the Southerly relocation of the private road, and the Southeasterly relocation of Units 5 and 6 away from the 66 foot easement (Exhibit A). I C. Final Plat The final plat shows the required modifications to the site as a result of the PUD approval (Exhibit B). The final plat contains 13 lots. Lots I through 12 contain the units, the I parking space in front of the garage, and some green area adjacent to the units. Lot 13 is the common area for Lots I through 12. All of Lot 13 is a utility and drainage easement. . Persons who purchase one of the twelve units in this project will also be purchasing a 1/12th interest in Lot 13. Lastly, the long-term maintenance of the 16.5 foot conservation area adjacent to the two wetland basins is provided for in the Association Documents . (Declaration, Section VII, Section 3). The preliminary plat was approved by the City Council on October 10, 1995. The . Planning Commission recommended approval of the preliminary and final plat at their regular meeting on September 6, 1995. .- I --------- - . .- The Homeowners Association documents and the development agreement are provided in the council packet for your review. There are still some minor adjustments required to these documents. However, Staff is hopeful to have the final versions available for you at I the City Council meeting. - D. City Council Conditions of AIJproval for the PUD - 1. No oak tree or other hardwood trees be removed unless they are located in a building footprint or roadway area. I The Grading and Erosion Control Plan (Exhibit A), has been modified to identify the oak and other hardwood trees which are located in a building footprint or I roadway area. 2. Preservation of existing trees adjacent to Old Highway 10 and County Road I E2 and within the 66 foot easement, that are not effected by the grading plan. The Grading and Erosion Control Plan has been modified to identify the I vegetation adjacent to Old Highway 10 , County Road E2, and the 66 foot easement which are not effected by the grading plan. 3. Approval of and compliance with the necessary permits by the Minnesota - Department of Natural Resources. -. The plans have been modified to outlet the sedimentation basin to Valentine Creek and the sedimentation basin has been redesigned taking into account the comments of the Mirmesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR), dated August 25, 1995. The DNR has approved the applicants request (Exhibit C). - However, the applicant has previously received approval of the US Army Corps of Engineers (USCOE) for the outlet into Valentine Lake. The modification of I the outlet to Valentine Creek will require the review and approval of US CaE. The USCOE has yet to approve the applicants request. I 4. Approval of and compliance with the necessary permits by the Rice Creek Watershed District. I The Rice Creek Watershed District approved the applicants project at their regular meeting on October II, 1995 (Exhibit D). 5. Compliance with the Floodplain regulations, in particular the lowest floor I elevation requirement based on the regional flood protection elevation for Valentine Lake. I The plans have been modified to remove the storm sewer connection from the sedimentation basin to Valentine Lake. Therefore, the direct threat of flooding from Valentine Lake has been minimized to the greatest extent possible. - - I I I I. . The Floodplain Management regulations of the City Code, in Section 9.5-18 requires structures to be elevated one (I) foot above the 100 year flood elevation. . The sedimentation basin has a 100 year flood elevation of 878.7 feet, which is the I basins High Water Level (HWL). Therefore, the flood protection elevation (one . foot above the 100 year elevation) for this proposal would be 879.7 feet. The I sedimentation basin has a Normal Water Level (NWL) of 878.0 feet. The lowest floor elevation in the Townhomes of Lake Valentine is 881.0 feet (Units 3 and 4), which is I J feet higher than the flood protection elevation, 2.3 feet higher than I the HWL, and 3.0 feet higher than the NWL of the sedimentation basin. Therefore, the proposal would be in compliance with the flood protection elevation requirements of the Floodplain Management regulations. I 6. Approval of and compliance with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agencies General Construction Storm Water Permit, including the implementation of I BMP's for erosion and sediment control. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) has yet to approve the applicants request. I 7. Provision of a 16.5 foot buffer strip adjacent to the two wetland basins. The approved PUD delineates a 16.5 foot conservation easement adjacent to the I two wetland basins. .. 8. Payment ofthe park dedication fees, as determined by the City Council. The park dedication fees was determined by the City Council to be $8,012.52 at your October 30, 1995 regular meeting. The park dedication fees must be paid in I full prior to the issuance ofthe first building permit. 9. Compliance with the Shoreland Management Ordinance, in particular . Sections 20.5-41 and 20.5-47. The Grading and Erosion Control Plan has been modified such that the outlet of the sedimentation basin does not outlet into Valentine Lake, but outlets into . Valentine Creek. The plan still provides for the: preservation of trees adjacent to Old Highway 10 and County Road E2; setbacks from Valentine Lake (320 feet minimum); reduced structure heights (28.5 feet maximum); and reduced lot . coverage (25 percent). These are consistent with the requirements of the Shoreland Management Ordinance. I 10. Modification of the name of the private street. The name of the private street has been modified to Lake View Court. I 11. Modification of the Townhouse Association documents, per Staff direction, for approval by the City Attorney. I The City Attorney and Staff are currently reviewing the Townhouse Association documents for consistency with the previous direction given by Staff, the .- Planning Commission, and the City Council. . - ----------- ------- ---------------- I 12. Compliance with applicable provisions of the City Code. .' This is a standardized condition of approval. . 13. Any required pumping of the storm pond would be the responsibility ofthe . , Townhouse Association. The plans have been modified so that the storm sewer outlet does not outlet into , Valentine Lake. Therefore the flooding potential from Valentine Lake has been eliminated. However, the responsibility for the maintenance and upkeep of the sedimentation basin and the structures should be the responsibility of the , homeowners association. 14. A 16.5 foot conservation easement be established and posted around the , delineated wetlands. The approved PUD delineates a 16.5 foot conservation easement adjacent to the , two wetland basins. The long-term maintenance of this 16.5 foot conservation area is provided for in the Association Documents (Declaration, Article VII, Section 3), which states:"Neither the declarant, the Association or any Owner , shall mow, cut or otherwise disturb the natural vegetation located within sixteen and one-half (16.5) feet of any delineated wetland located within the Common Elements". , 15. Approval of the final plat. The City Council is currently considering that request. -. 16. Resolution of the necessary storm sewer easement over the City property (Chatham Open Space). I The storm sewer that will be constructed through the City property (Chatham Open Space) will be, after it is accepted, a City utility. Therefore, it would be inappropriate for the City to grant an easement to itself. However, it would be I appropriate for the City to agree with the location of the storm sewer and to require restoration of the City property after the construction of the storm sewer. , The City agreed to the location of the storm sewer when the City approved the PUD. The development agreement for the Townhomes of Lake Valentine includes a clause (Section 4.01, A, 2) requiring that the developer seed or sod all , disturbed areas outside of the right-ol~way within ten (10) days of the completion of the grading. 17. Deletion of Units 7, 8, 15, and 16 and the Southerly relocation of the , Northwesterly portion of the private street (Lake View Court), so as to maximize the distance between the 66 foot easement and Units 5 and 6. I Units 7, 8,15, and 16 have been deleted. The private street has been relocated Southerly to maximize the distance between the units and the 66 foot easement. The distance between Units 5 and 6 and the 66 foot easement is now at least 24.5 I feet. - , I I I. 18. Increase the width of the private street (Lake View Court) from 26 feet to 32 feet. , The width of the private street has been widened from 26 feet to 32 feet. I - 19. Elimination of the common parking stalls. I The common parking stalls have been eliminated. 20. Elimination of the previous condition requiring the installation of signs on I the private street denoting "No Parking, by Order of the Fire Marshal". The City Council in approving the PUD effectively eliminated the condition requiring the installation of signs denoting "No Parking, by Order of the Fire I Marshal". Recommendation I Approval of the final plat of Townhomes of Lake Valentine in Planning Case 95-05, subject to the following conditions: I 1. Compliance with the approval of the Site PlanIPUD Master Plan of the Townhomes of Lake Valentine which was granted on October 10, 1995; 2. Filing of the Homeowners Association documents with Ramsey County in a form I acceptable to the City Attorney; , Provision of the Letter of Credit to the City Administrator in an amount equal to 125 ~. .- percent of the improvement cost of the project, in a form acceptable to the City Attorney; 4. Execution of the Development Agreement in a form acceptable to the City Attorney; and 5. Compliance with the City Code, specifically Chapter 22 (Subdivisions). I Note The City Code in Chapter 22-4, (b), (4), states in relevant part:"lfthe llnal plat is approved by I the city council, the subdivider shall record it with the county recorder or registrar oftitles within sixty (60) days after the date of approval; otherwise, the approval of the final plat shall be considered void". If the City Council approves the final plat of the Townhomes of Lake . Valentine on Monday, November 13, 1995, then the approval would become void on Friday, January 12, 1996. I I I I .- .

Arden Hills, Shoreview, North Oaks, Vadnais Heights, White Bear Township, and White Bear Lake. Figure I shows the existing corridor. Because of the topography and lakes in the area the highway is one of the few routes with continuity between 1-35E and 1-35W from the northern county limits south to 1-694. The highway is functionally designated as an "A" minor arterial which means it is expected to provide for movement of trips within and between subregions. The traffic on Trunk Highway 96 has been increasing due to development within the corridor and the growth in traffic outside the corridor. ."'.Illo For several years the communities along Trunk Highway 96 have felt there is a need to improve the highway. A Trunk Highway 96 Task Force was formed in 1987 to study and evaluate the conditions on Trunk Highway 96 and develop recommendations on improvements needed on the highway. The task force published a report in 1989 with its findings and recommendations. However, because of funding priorities, only limited improvements were made in the corridor. In 1994, the Minnesota Department of Transportation and Ramsey County negotiated the turnback . of Trunk Highway 96 from MnDOT to the County. The turnback includes Highway 96, from Highway 61 in White Bear Lake to Old State Trunk Highway 8 in New Brighton. As a result of the tumback, tumback funds are now available to make improvements to Highway 96 (County Road G). The tumback funds are specifically designated gas tax funds that can be used for upgrading of roadways that are tumed back from the state to other units of government. The design for the section of Highway 96 from Highway 61 to White Bear Parkway has been completed and construction began on the first segment in the summer of 1995. I HIGHWAY 96 TASK FORCE In the fall of 1994, Ramsey County convened a new task force to identify issues and develop - . recommendations for the remaining sections of Highway 96. This Task Force is made up of 3 representatives from each affected community. The representatives from each community include - a business representative, a citizen representative, and a city staff representative. The Task Force II members are identified on the inside cover of this report. - The Highway 96 Task Force was charged with making recommendations on the type of D Improvements that are needed on Highway 96 between I-35E and Old Highway 8. The Task Force - studied all aspects of the highway from lane width and configuration to drainage. In addition, the - Task Force also studied how the impact of the roadway on the image and identity of the communities - U and the type of landscaping and ammenities that can improve the overall image of the corridor. - - -. 1 ~IL '~ ~ ';-':; ~..~ ~:~-'':' I J_ ", ~. 8 fJ' : .; 0' tz;~j}- E_ WI!

The concept report identifies the basic cross - section elements for Highway 96 including number of through lanes, shoulder widths, median ~ -- widths, and turn lanes. It identifies the locations for full access, possible locations for traffic signals, 1 ~ the location for a regional bicycle and pedestrian trail, the location of other sidewalks, and the ~ landscaping and urban design features that slrould be a part of the project. This report documents l__ ,..;,'-4t the alternatives that were considered; the evaluation of those alternatives, and the Task Forces's final .,--'" i. recommendations. The rejlort also identifies a schedule for staging of the improvements and the potential funding and cost participation. l~ L__ ,....,.. 1 1-- - 1 ~ ~ ~. ..~ .-""1 - - -- .."..- - -~ ~,~ - ~ -- ~ .-' -- .-' ~ -. ~ ~ ... ~. 3 -- - ~ ~_ ~ ,~'~ :::-:;:,;'l-~'~~-'~--~- - - --- -. PURPOSE AND NEED FOR PROJECT --- - . - Improvements to Trunk Highway 96 need to meet certain minimum functional design requirements, - but they also need to take into account the broader community goals and objectives.'There are both - local and regional planning and development,issues that must be considered relative to the design - of the roadway. - -- ROLE IN THE REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM -,'- -- One of the important considerations in the design of Highway 96 is it's role in the regional highway . - system. The Transportation Advisory Board of the Metropolitan Council undertook a study of the -- minor arterial system in 1993. The basic conclusion of the study is that a portion of the minor - arterial' system is of regional importance due to the function it serves either as relievers to the -- principal arterials or as substitutes for the principal arterials that do not exist and will not be -- implemented due to existing development or lack of financial resources. These roads have been labeled as "A" minor arterials. Four types of "A"'mior arterials have been defined. -- - . Relievers . Expanders - . Connectors -. . Augmentors __ Highway 96 is designated as an expander in the "A" Minor Arterial System. Expanders are routes - that provide a way to make connections between developing areas outside the 1-494, 1.694 interstate - ring. These roadways are proposed to serve medium to long suburb,to-suburb trips. Improvements in these corridors should focus on preserving or obtaining right-of-way and providing needed - capacity for through traffic. - - EXISTING ROADWAY DEFICIENCIES - - - The 1989 Trunk Highway 96 Task Force Study Report evaluated the design characteristics ofTH - 96 including design speed, sight distance restrictions, horizontal and vertical alignment, roadside - elements and pedestrian safety features. In this study, the TH 96 corridor from I-35W to I-35E was - divided into 7 segments: - - Segment I - I-35W to Round Lake Road Segment 2 - Round Lake Road to TH 10 - Segment 3 - TH 10 to Hamline Avenue - - Segment 4 - Hamline Avenue to Chatsworth Street Segment 5 . Chatsworth Street to TH 49(Hodgson Road) -- Segment 6 . TH 49 to Centerville Road - Segment 7 - Centerville Road to I-35E - -. 4 - - -. ~~'~~::::"."""'''~''''''--"-_. - .~---~-,- ;,j~_"Y'.-f~~ I ~- . -- I. - The study found that TH 96 was deficient in the areas of stopping sight distance, passing areas, -. I vertical alignment, side slopes, drainage, clear zones, and pedestrian provisions. - Sil!ht Distance ~ . - The minimum sight distance available on the roadway should be sufficient in length to enable a vehicle traveling at the design speed to stop before reaching a stationary object in its path. Stopping -- I sight distance is the absolute minimum sight distance that should be provided anywhere on the - roadway. The desired stopping sight distance at a design speed of 50 miles per hour, which is the - I design speed for most segments of Highway 96, is 475 feet. The analysis for the 1989 TH 96 Task Force Study Report found that several segments have one or more locations with sight distance ~ restrictions. They include: ---- . - Segment Number of Sight Distance Restrictions - I - 3. TH 10 to Hamline Avenue 1 - . 4. Hamline A venue to Chatsworth 2 - 5. Chatsworth Street to TH 49 I --- -I. 6.

The no-passing areas only apply to the two lane segments.

The design of the side slope should also take into account maintenance needs. The desirable side slope for fill areas is 6: I and for cut areas is 3: 1. - .. - Many of the fill side slopes on Highway 96 east of Lexington are either 2:1 or 3:1. - - 5 ~ I ~ - I I. Drainage Provisions I The drainage provisions for a roadway are either designated as urban or rural. An urban section has curb and gutter and storm drainage pipes to convey the water to an outlet pond or receiving water I body. In a rural section the water runs off the roadway into ditches which convey the water. Highway 96 is mainly "rura]" in design. The main problem with the current rural drainage design on Highway 96 is that many of the ditches are overgrown with vegetation and many of the culverts I under driveways are plugged. This causes standing water which undermines the stabality of the roadway and can cause localized flooding problems. I Clear Zone and Roadside Obstacles The "clear zone" is the distance from the edge of the traveled lane that should be free of any non- . traversable hazard or fixed object in order to provide an area free of obstacles for a vehicle to recover if it runs off the road. On a rural roadway with 3: I slopes, a clear zone of 53 feet would be required for a design speed of 50 miles per hour. This distance is increased if the roadway is on a curve. I Numerous roadside obstacles inluding utility poles, trees, ditches, and ponds exist along highway 96 within the "clear zone". . Turnin~ Provisions .e There are numerous access points along Highway 96 where vehicles make turns from the highway. In many locations there are no turn lanes and these turns (both left-turns and right-turns) are made from the through lanes on Highway 96. This creates a safety problem as well as reducing capacity I on the highway when vehicles slow or stop in the through lanes in order to make their turn. Pavement Condition . The road surface on many segments of Highway 96 is in poor condition and needs to be replaced. The poor pavement condition affects safety, driver comfort, wear and tear on vehicles, and long term . maintenance costs. An overlay can provide a temporary fix. However, the tumback funds provide the County with an opportunity to provide a longer term solution and reduce,future maintenance costs. I Pedestrian Provisions . Pedestrian safety is an important consideration in an .urbanlsubw-ban, ~l!vironmertt Pedestrian- .'," ,.,",. -, '''', ,~~ vehicular conflict should be minimized as much as possible and.,;is' usually 'accomplished by providing separate sidewalks parallel to the highway. Pedestrian provisions along Highway 96 are I lacking or nonexistent I .e - 6 ~'. " .'" ".',," . 'j!T ~". . I .~ ~ I. - Capacity Deficiencies -. I Highway 96 is currently experiencing congestion on many of the two lane segments. Many of the - deficiencies identified above such as lack of turn lanes, poor stopping sight distance, and limited ~ I passing sight distance affect the capacity of the roadway and addressing these problems would help = to address both the capacity and safety of the roadway. However, Highway 96 serves an area that is continuing to grow and travel demand is expected to continue to increase. ~ I " . FORECAST TRAVEL DEMAND ..,.. - I Travel demand forecasts were developed for Highway 96 using a refined version of the Metropolitan -' . Council's Regional Travel Demand Model. The 2015 forecasts for Highway 96 are shown on Figure --.:: 2, Some ofthe refinements made to the regional travel demand model to improve the forecasts for I Highway 96 included subdivision of traffic analysis zones, evaluation of/and use and trip generation ,~ for each of the zones, and modifications to the roadway network for the Highway 96 study area, The I forecast 2015 average daily traffic volumes on Highway 96 range from 21,500 vehicles per day on ~. the segment between Rice Street and McMenemy to 31,500 vehicles per day on the segment between Hamline and Lexington Avenue. The current (1992) average daily traffic volumes on these ~' I segments are 14,500 vehicles per day and 21,300 vehicles per day respectively. This represents an '-> increase in traffic on Highway 96 of7,000 to 10,000 vehicles per, day or approximately a 50 percent increase over the current traffic demand. .e ... " In order to understand the type oftrips which use Highway 96 and"how the'design ofthe roadway L might affect future travel dem.~d, the trips on two segments of Highway 96 were analyzed. One I segment was between Rice Street and McMenemy Road, The other segment was between Hamline ~".- Avenue and Lexington Avenue. For the purpose bfthis analysis, a study area was defined that was -. generally bounded by I-35W on the west and 1-35 E on the east, and by ]-694 on the south and I County Road J on the north. This study area is sho"0 in Figure 3. A second study area was also .... defined that included all of the communities along the cprridor (i.e, all of New Brighton, Arden Hills, Shoreview, Vadnais Heights, North Oaks, White Bear Township, and White Bear Lake). The ... I analysis looked at four aspects of trips on these segments: . Through trips versus trips with an origin or destination in the corridor. I .......-=-. .

The key results from the analysis are summarized below: ~ Between 44 and 55 percent of the trips using Highway 96 begin and end inside of the smaller - study area defined by 1-35W, County Road J, I-35E, and 1-694. Between 71 and 74 percent of the trips on Highway 96 begin or end in one of the communities bordering Highway 96. I That is almost 75 percent of the traffic on Highway 96 can be considered as local traffic. . Changes in the average travel speed on Highway 96 does have a noticeable impact on travel I demand on Highway 96. An increase in the average travel speed on Highway 96 from 40 miles per hour to 45 miles per hour would increase the 2015 Traffic Demand on the segment I between Rice Street to McMenemy from 21,300 vehicles per day to 28,100 vehicles per day and on the segment between Hamline A venue and Lexington A venue from 31,500 vehicles per day to 35,300 vehicles per day. . Improvements which would increase the operating speed on Interstate 694 between 1-35E I and I-35W would help to reduce travel demand on Highway 96, Increasing the average travel speed on 1-694 from 53 to 55 miles per hour would reduce demand on the segment of I Highway 96 between Rice Street and McMenemy from 21,300 to 19,800 vehicles per day and on the segment between Hamline A venue and Lexington A venue from 31,500 vehicles per day to 3Q,200 vehicles per day, It should also be noted that if the average speeds on I- I 694 between I-35W and I,35E are reduced travel demand will increase on Highway 96. Ie 0 Because 44 to 55 percent of the traffic on Highway 96 either originates or is destined to land uses within the study area bounded by I-35W, County Road J, I-35E, and 1-694 increases in the growth in this area will also increase demand on Highway 96. Table I shows the number of trips on the segments of Highway 96 between Rice Street and McMenemy and between I Hamline and Lexington that originate within the different subareas (traffic analysis zones) along Highway 96. Also on shown on Table I is the percentage of the trips from each I subarea which use each segment. It should be noted that subarea or traffic analysis zone which includes the Twin Cities Army Amunition Plant in Arden Hills has a very low trip generation which is representative of its.current u~e. Ab?llt 2 percent of the trips generated I in this area use the segment of Highway 96 between Rice Street and McMenemy and about 8 percent of the trips generated in this area use the segment of Highway 96 between Hamline and Lexington A venue. Therefore, redevelopment of this site which increases the number I of trips generated on this site could result in significant increases in travel demand on Highway 96. I The 2015 travel demand forecasts shown in Figure 2 are based on specific assumptions regarding study area land use, average speeds and capacities on Highway 96, and average speeds and capacity on other alternative routes. The forecasts also include assumptions' regarding the number of trips I people will make and how many take transit or carpool. As the above analysis illustrates the demand on Highway 96 is sensitive to changes in some of these variables. Given the assumptions made for the forecast there is higher probability that the 2015 travel demand on Highway 96 will be greater I than forecast rather than less than forecast. Ie - 16 ..-"~' ~'.. I "., - I -~. ~ I. ~~ - Travel Demand Mana::ement - I There are measures and strategies that can be used to reduce travel demand in a corridor or region. IiII1 Many of these strategies involve actions that fall on the affected Cities to implement. These - I programs are generally oriented towards work trips and focus on the place of employment. Some - strategies are more effective than others in reducing trips. The chart on the following page shows the effectiveness of different strategies on reducing the vehicle trips at an office or other employment - I oriented land use. The most effective strategies are strategies that reduce the costs of transit or car ~, pooling or increase the cost for single occupant vehicles. - I In order for these strategies to be effective in reducing demand in a corridor or region they generally '""'- need to be mandatory and as inclusive as possible. Studies in the 1-494 corridor found that programs -, I that are voluntary were only half as effective at reducing vehicle trips as mandatory programs. The study also found that it was necessary to include existing land uses as well as new development in .. order to be effective. The 1-494 studies found that an extremely aggressive travel demand - I managment program that included employee parking charges, additional transit subsidies, HOV -, lanes, aggressive employer ridesharing programs, and alternative work arrangements that was mandatory for all employers would reduce travel demand on 1-494 by about II percent. Although - I this aggressive program was expected to reduce trip demand at the place of employment where it was -, required by about 32 percent, the other trips not covered by the program reduced the overall effect I. on 1-494. -, - I _1___- - - ""., .....'.

PLANNING FRAMEWORK FUNDAMENTAL GUIDELINES At the beginning of the study the County identified several fundamental guidelines that needed to be considered by the task force in developing a Concept Plan for Highway 96. These fundamental guidelines included: 1. Highway 96 is designated as an "A-Minor" Arterial and the design of Highway 96 must be consistent with that designation. 2. Highway 96 is a multi,modal facility and the design should be consistent with the need to accommodate trucks and busses on the roadway and pedestrians and bicycles in the corridor. 3. The design of Highway 96 shall: . Accomodate current and projected traffic volumes (20 year) -- (no traffic calming) . Provide for functional corridor continuity. That is there must be logical transitions between design elements in one segment to the design elements in another segment. . Meet State Aid Standards . Provide for design speeds which meet or exceed posted speeds -- changes in speed are subject to traffic studies and state determination. . Provide for truck and commercial traffic. III . . Address historical and environmental/social requirements III . Provide for adequate snow storage and handling III . Provide for turn lane or median design elements for all access. That is, left-turn lanes where left-turns are allowed or median to prevent left-turns if no left-turns are permitted. .'. III . Not unduly incerase operation and mai~temince costs such as with landscaping. III 4. Improvements must support highway and land use compatibility -- that is, achieve appropriate balance between highway capacity and land use. II 5. Signal systems are subject to Ramsey County Signal Policy tI '. 19 JII I - I I. I 6. Access control significantly impacts design and operation characteristics. That is, reducing ""l I access points can improve safety and traffic flow. - 7. The Highway 96 corridor has been designated for a regional trail which is part of the ., I Regional Recreation Open Space System. The design of Highway 96 should accomodate the - re gi onal trail. - :-1 I COMMUNITY ISSUES AND FORCES - There are a variety of issues and forces that must be considered in developing a concept plan for =-t I Highway 96. These community issues and forces impact, to varying degrees, the character and functionality of the roadway. Although they all have significance, resolution of some of them may =-1 I be beyond the scope of the proposed Highway 96 reconstruction and may need to be considered as a separate projects or they may be left for the individual communities to resolve and implement. - Following is an outline of the Issues/Forces which were identified for the Highway 96 corridor. =--1 I They are grouped into I) overall corridor forces/issues and 2) site-specific forces/issues, The site- or area-specific forceslissues are grouped by city and agency starting at the west end of the Highway 96 corridor. ~I I - ' 1.

I -..; ACCESS SPACING GUIDELINES - I Roadways serve two basic funtions; they provide ffi0billty or for the movement of people or goods -- between areas and they provide access to adjacem'land areas which is the origin or destination of the people and goods. There is an inherent trade off between mobility and access. The more access, I the less mobility and the more mobility the less access. Therefore a heirarchy of roadways was ~ developed to provide a system, of roadways that balanced the need for land access and mobility. At , - the one end of the range are local streets where the primary function is to provide local land access I and very little mobility. At the other end of the spectrum are freeways which have very limited ~ access but provide a high level of mobility. In between, are collector roadways and arterial - I- - roadways. Collector roadways should have less access and provide for-more mobility than local streets and arterial roadways should have less access and provide more mobility than collector - I 35 ~.;;.. - .;/~ ----,---- I ~ .. streets. Highway 96 is designated as an "A-minor" arterial in the regional transportation system plan and therefore is intended to serve more of mobility function and less of an access function. II Accident data shows that the safest roadways are those that are on either end of the range and . provide primarily one function, either access or mobility. The highest accident rates are found on the arterial streets which serve both an access and mobility function. The frequency of access on an arterial roadway affects both safety and capacity. Accident data shows that accident rates on an . arterial street increase as the number of access points inCrease. Therefore. limiting access will help to reduce accidents on an arterial roadway. The accident data also shows that arterial streets with separate turn lanes have lower accident rates than arterial streets without turn lanes. Turn lanes also .. help to increase the capacity of the roadway by getting turning traffic out of the through lanes. Based on the above information and general guidelines established in other studies the desired access II spacing on Highway 96 is as follows: Minimum spacing between signalized intersections, Y:, Mile II Minimum spacing between full access intersections - 1/4 Mile II Minimum spacing between right,in and right-out access - 1/8 Mile -- It is acknowledged that this spacing is not feasible in many locations with the current land uses. On the other hand it is a standard which should be strived for wherever possible. In some areas it may be necessary to plan for a change in land.tises where the existing land uses (such as single family II residential) is inconsistent with the function of Highway 96. Single family residential is one of the least compatible land uses along an arterial such as Highway 96 because of the need for frequent access and because they are the most sensitive to the noise created by tra'ffi~ using the arterial. In II addition the frequent access needed by these land uses make it extremely difficult to mitigate the noise impacts of the arterial. - SIGNAL LOCATION CRITERIA - Traffic Signals are a commonly used traffic control device at the intersection of two more important roadways. However, traffic signals are not the best traffic control device at every location. If used incorrectly traffic signals can increase delay and accidents. Therefore traffic engineers have , developed warrants that help to identify where the use of traffic signals are appropriate. These traffic signal warrants are documented in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. 111 Warrants for Traffic Si!!nal Installation The Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices states; "Traffic control signals should III not be installed unless one or more of the signal warrants in this Manual are met. The satisfaction of a warrant or warrants is not in itself justification for a signal." ,- - There are II signal warrants identified in the Mirinesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control , 36 '~~'.. '^',; I -,- - I. -' - Devices. Each of the warrants are briefly explained below. The explanation is a simplification of -. the description that is contained in the Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. I ""' - - Warrant I - Minimum vehicular volume. This warrant is intended for application at intersections - I where the volume of intersecting traffic is the primary reason for consideration of a signal. For -, intersections with a four lane arterial which carries a minimum of9,600 vehicles a day the warrant would likely be met if the volume on a intersecting cross street with one approach lane is - I approximately 2,400 vehicles per day (one direction only) or with two approach lanes is -, approximately 3,200 vehicles per day(one direction only). -. I Warrant 2 - Interruption of continuous traffic. This warrant is intended for application where the -' traffic volumes on the major street are so heavy that traffic on the minor street suffers excessive - ~ delay or hazard in entering or crossing the major street. This warrant would likely be met if the I volume on a four lane major arterial was 14,400 vehicles per day or greater and the volume on a -' intersecting cross street with one approach lane is upproximately 1,200 vehicles per day (one - direction only) or with two approach lanes is approximately 1,600 vehicles per day (one direction _: I only). - I Warrant 3 - Minimum pedestrian volume. A traffic signal may be warranted where the pedestrian _, volume crossing the major street at an intersection or mid-block location during an average day is I 00 or more for any four hours or 190 or more during anyone hour. ~--,~ I- _1 Warrant 4 - School Crossings. A traffic signal may be warranted at a school crossing if a traffic -. engineering study shows that adequate gaps in the traffic stream are not frequent enough to I accommodate the number of children crossing. -- - Warrant 5 - Progressive Movement. Sometimes a traffic signal is warranted at an intersection where I it is part of a system and there is progressive movement control needed in order to maintain proper - grouping of vehicles and effectively regulate group speed. The installation of a signal according to this warrant should not result in signal spacing ofless than 1000 feet. I .'-' Warrant 6 - Accident Experience. A signal may be warranted if there is a high number of accidents that are subject to correction by traffic signal control. In most cases traffic signals are not a safety -'.=o-c I improvement and can often increase accidents at an intersection. ~ I Warrant 7 - Systems. A traffic signal may be warranted at SOme intersections to encourage -- I concentration and organization of traffic flow networks. This typically applies to the common intersection of two or more major routes. __J I Warrant 8 ' Combination of Warrants. This warrant is only for exceptional cases where all other - ..J remedial measures have been tried. I Warrant 9 - Four Hour Volumes. This warrant applies to situations where there is heavy traffic _J I- - during the peak periods of the day. The hourly volumes needed to meet this warrant are higher than for Warrants I and 2 but they only need to be satisfied for four hours of any day instead of eight. ..J I 37 1 _..,--,.--~, -,:''''-'-7C:-,,~,_" '-' ~~o~'"'_~,~.___,._, _ Warrant 10 - Peak Hour Delay. This Warrant applies to situations where traffic conditions are such that for one hour a day minor street traffic suffers undue delay in entering or crossing the major street. Undue delay is defined as four vehicle hours for a one lane approach and five vehicle hours for a two lane approach. Warrant II - Peak Hour Volume. This warrant also applies to situations where traffic conditions are such that for one hour a day minor street traffic suffers undue delay. It is similar to the four hour volume warrant except the hourly volumes needed to meet this warrant are even higher. .. Considerations For a Prol'ressive Sil'na] SYstem. The spacing between traffic signals has an impact on the ability to provide good signal progression t.. in both directions. Good signal progression will allow vehicles to travel in platoons at a uniform speed through the signalized intersections without having to stop at a red light. One of the keys to good signal progression in both directions is to have uniform signal spacing (that is, the same distance between signalized intersections). The more uneven the spacing the more likely there will be interruptions to the continuous flow of traffic on the major street, at least in one direction. The two factors which affect the progression speed (the speed that vehicles should travel to proceed ' through all intersections without stopping) are signal cycle length and .distance between signalized int.::rsections. If signals are more closely spaced it is more difficult to provide higher progression speeds with a wide green band width at the longer signal cycle lengths.that are needed on high volume arterials. If signals are spaced too far apart traffic will not stay together through the next intersection and therefore more traffic will end up stopping at the signalized intersections. Signals spaced at y, mile intervals provide for good signal progression on arterials at speeds of between 30 to 50 miles per hour depending on the cycle length. ShoTler cycle lengths will result in higher progression speeds. , ...-," \ ~ . . ~. ~ 4""-- . II 38 no I I ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS . . There are a number of areas of potential environmental concern in the corridor that may be critical to the development and design of the alternatives. These include wetlands, water quality, threatened I and endangered species, cultural resources and noise. In order to minimize the impacts of alternatives in these areas the resources and potential impacts were identified early in the process. Each of these environmental areas are discussed in the following sections. I WETLANDS I A preliminary analysis of potential wetlands located adjacent to Highway 96 was completed using the United States Fish and Wildlife National Wetland Inventory (NWI) maps, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MnDNR) Protected Waters and Wetlands map, Ramsey County I soil survey and aerial photography. I The NWI maps identified 35 wetlands in close proximity to the Highway 96 alignment. Twelve of these wetlands are listed as protected waters by the MnDNR. Several additional areas were identified as potential wetlands based on information from the Soil Conservation Service soil survey I and recent aerial photography. The field inventory was conducted on June 16, 1995. The approximate location and size of wetlands .- within the 150 foot wide corridor were noted, as well as the wetland'type and general vegetative characteristics of each basin. The wetland edge was ;;'01 delineated at this time, but was estimated ba,ed on aerial photography. I Foity~two potential wetlands were identified within the Highway 96 corridor during the field inventory (Table I). Due to the urban land use along much of the corridor, many of the wetlands I in the corridor have been previously disturbed. Ten of the Jlotential wetlands identified appear to have been excavated to facilitate roadside drainage. . Most of the wetlands could be classified as tempory or seasonally flooded, Types 1,2, and 3 (PEMA or PEMC) with reed canary grass, cattails and/or sedges as the dominant vegetation. Five wetlands I within the 150 foot corridor are DNR Protected Wetlands, three of which are classified as semi- permanently flooded PEMF wetlands. A few of the wetlands contain shrub or forest vegetation. I The typical right-of-way in this corridor is 150 feet. There are areas where the right-of-way is wider and a couple of areas where the right-of-way is na~ower. An estimate was made of the potential right-of-way impacts assuming the improvements used the entire 150 foot right-of-way. The . estimated impacts are also shown in Table I. Based on this assumption the estimated worst case wetland impact in the corridor is roughly 9 acres. Approximately 2.5 acres of this impact would be in DNR protected waters. It is possible that additional temporilry impacst could also be incurred I outside the construction zone. This impact estimate, does not include temporary impacts or areas I- 0 39 - .

Roughly 10 records of Blanding's turtles, listed as - threatened in Minnesota, occur within one mile of the TH 96 alignment, This is the only species I that was listed for this general area. .. . - ~ I Blanding's turtles are inhabitants of calm shallow marshes that are in close proximity to sandy ~, -- uplands. The DNR's concerns will be in regards to the loss of their wetland habitat, sandy - nesting areas, and road kill potential. The project corridor will need to be surveyed for turtle - I habitat at the time an environmental document is completed or could be completed at the same '"' time the wetland delineation is conducted. ~" .- One plant community was also noted by the DNR as rare or of special concern. An alder swamp - -J is noted within Section 19. More details will need to be collected on this area if it is located near - - the Highway 96 corridor. I -..-i In conversations with a biologist that has been recently conducting work in the North Oaks area, - - a special concern plant species has been known to also occur in this general area. The water- I willow (Decodon verticillatus) typically occurs along lakeshores and wetlands. This species can '"' also be surveyed for at the time of the wetland delineation. I If these species are ,not found within the project corridor, there should be no further study ~_"I required. However, if the records are close to the corridor or species are found there, close - I coordination with the DNR will be needed to define the apprppriatemitigation measures for the ..-r- _: proposed impacts to these species or their habitat. - .' - ~'. - I ... NOISE IMPACTS : . Noise can be defined simply as unwanted sound. Various factors affect how noise is perceived by the human __ I ear. These factors include the acoustical level or loudness'ofthe sound, the frequency of the sound, the I length ofthe exposure period, and the location of the receiver relative to the noise source, Because of the I I wide range of energy in sounds, sound is measJ,!red us.ing a logarithmic unit called the decibel (dB). Noise ~. levels are typically reported in "A" weighted decibels (dBA). The "A" means that sound pressure levels have I Ie - been weighted to reflect the fact that the human ear is not as sensitive to low frequency sounds as it is to middle and high frequencies. Sound levels expressed in "A" weighted decibels approach typical human ... I 42 __ I - I -_.,~--'.... '--Co ',;'t,~~,___ ,I ,I. perceptions of sound, ,I Traffic noise levels vary significantly over time, Traffic noise is dependent on traffic volumes, vehicle speeds, and vehicle types, Noise from vehicles comes from a variety of sources, For most cars, the primary noise source is the interaction of tires on the pavement. For trucks, the dominant noise source is usually I exhaust and engine noise. Noise is also generated by brakes, loose body components, and faulty exhaust system S, . Since traffic noise fluctuates over time, it is usually expressed in tenns of st"iistical noise level descriptors, Common traffic noise descriptors are as follows: I . L1 0 - The L1 0 is the sound level exceeded 10 percent of the time or six minutes out of an hour. . L5D - The L5D is the sound level exceeded 50 percent of the time or 30 minutes out of an hour. . Because the decibel is a logarithmic unit, decibels cannot be added and subtracted by ordinary arithrrietic. The sum of two noise sources each emitting 70 dB yields a combined noise level of73 dB. Thus, an increase I ofJ dB represents a doubling of the sound energy. Similarly, a noise source must double in strength to result in a 3 dB increase in noise levels. I A 3 dB change in noise level is considered to be the smallest noticeable change over an extended period of time for a time-varying noise SOUrce such as traffic. A change of 10 dBA is perceived by most people to be a doubling or halving of the sound level. .- The energy in a sound dissipates with distance from a source. For a point source of noise, sound levels will decrease at a rate of 6 dB per doubling of distance from the source. For a line source of noise such as a . highway, traffic noise dissipates at a rate of 3 dB per doubling of distance. A sound level measured at 65 dBA 50 feet from a roadway would be 62 dBA 100 feet from> the roadway. Sound levels c;m also be dissipated by ground and atmospheric absorption and are significantly reduced by barriers which block the line of sight between the source and the receiver. I The charts on the following pages illustrate how noise levels change with distance from the source, speed of the traffic, traffic volume and percentage of trucks in the traffic stream, Each of these charts are based . on a set of representative conditions in the Highway 96 corridor including: . Average Daily Traffic (ADT) volume of20,000. . . Operating Speed of 40 MPH. I . Distance of75 feet from the centerline of the roadway to the nearest receiver. . 5 percent trucks including 2.5 percent medium trucks (2 axles, 6 wheels) and 2.5 percent heavy I trucks (3 or more axles). . ~ Four-Lane divided road with a 24 foot median. .

As noted above, traffic noise -~ I dissipates at a rate of 3 dBA per doubling of distance from the Source, In addition, ground and atmospheric "" absorption results in an additional 1_5 dBA reduction per doubling of distance from the source. .... _c_ I Chart 2 shows the variation of noise levels with vehicle operating speed. A volume of traffic passing a point ;;.:n at fifty MPH would generate approximately 75 dBA. The same volume of traffic at 30 MPH would generate approximately 70 dBA. - I Chart 3 shows the relationship between noise levels and traffic volumes, As described earlier, a doubling _tL_ of the sound energy results in a 3 dBA increase in noise levels. Therefore, traffic volumes must double to - cause a 3 dBA increase in traffic noise levels, I =--- Chart 4 documents the relationship between noise levels and truck percentage, Trucks are a significant noise --'- source and the percentage oftrucks in the vehicle mix is an important determinant of noise levels, I :",.-11 NOISE STANDARDS AND MITIGATION CRITERIA - I State of Minnesota noise standards (Minnesota Rules Parts 7030.0010 to 7030.0080) specify noise level _11 limits for various land use classifications, The table on page 6 documents the state noise standards for both daytime (7:00 a.m, to ]0:00 p.m.) and nighttime (10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m,) conditions, The standards are I considered to be consistent with speech, sleep, annoyance and hearing conversation requirements in each ..." land use classification and are applied in exterior areas, - ~,~.

Minnesota Rules Parts 7030,0010 to 7030.0080, I During the 1994-95 legislative session, the Minnesota Statutes were revised to exempt from the state noise standards "an existing or newly constructed segment of a highway, provided that all reasonably available noise mitigation measures, as approved by the commissioners of the department of transportation and I pollution control agency, are employed to abate noise." The department oftransportation and the pollution control agency are currently in the process of developing criteria to define "reasonably available noise mitigation measures." The criteria being considered include: I 0 Resident desire for noise mitigation . Existing daytime and nighttime noise levels 1- 0 Change in noise levels associated with the project I -"" 0 Average noise level reduction with mitigation 0 Cost of mitigation per dBA reduction per residence protected I Potential Noise Imnacts and Miti~ation I Figures 1,2 and 3 present predicted noise levels along TH 96 based on the assumptions listed above and the alternative roadway cross sections shown in the figures. I Figure 1 compares predicted noise levels associated with tbe existing two-lane, roadway to noise levels associated witb a four-lane divided roadway. The four, lane divided roadway widens the road closer to adjacent receivers. However, tbe opposing travel lanes are moved furtber from tbe receivers. The net result I is a sligbt (less than I dBA) increase in noise levels adjacent to the road witb the four-lane divided roadway, The noise levels shown in Figure I are in excess of the state residential noise standard. Noise levels range I from approximately 72 dBA at the edge ofthe right of way to approximately 66 dBA at the homes adjacent to the road, The state residential standard is 65 dBA. This indicates that noise mitigation for the residential areas along TH 96 may be warranted, However, more detailed analysis including refinement of the I assumptions regarding traffic volumes and truck percentages and an evaluation relative to tbe criteria listed on page 6 is necessary before a final determination on the need for mitigation is made. I' - Tbe most effective means of noise mitigation is a noise barrier to block the line of sight between the roadway noise source and the adjacent receiver sites.

Either barrier location would result in approximately an 8 dBA reduction in noise , levels relative to the unmitigated condition. Noise levels adjacent to the roadway would be below the state residential noise standard. Benefits associated with placing a barrier adjacent to the road include noise mitigation for the trail and better access to the trail. However, with the barrier adjacent to the road, , pedestrians on the trail would not be visible from the road which could be a safety concern. With the barrier at the edge ofthe right-of-way, pedestrians on the trail would be visible from the road, however, access to the trail would require periodic breaks in the barrier. , Figure 3 shows the effectiveness of a 4-foot earthen berm adjacent to the road. Such a berm would require approximately 24 feet of right-of-way which would restrict options for a sidewalk. A berm would be less , effective than a I O-foot noise barrier resulting in approximately a 3 dBA reduction relative to the unmitigated condition. Noise levels would be below state standards at the residences adjacent to the road, If barriers are constructed adjacent to the road, it is likely that breaks in the barrier would be required for , driveway access. Such barrier breaks would reduce the effectiveness of the barrier. Figure 3 illustrates how 20-foot break in the noise barrier for driveway access would reduce the effectiveness of the noise barrier. Rather than an 8 dBA reduction associated with the unbroken barrier, a broken barrier would result in , approximately a 6 dBA reduction. The effectiveness of the barrier would be further compromised with additional breaks. ~. A vegetative barrier between the roadway and receiver is often suggested for noise mitigation, While a vegetative barrier can effectively block the line of sight and may offer perceived relief (out of sight, out of mind), actual noise reduction is likely to be minimal. Studies have found that to obtain a 3 dBA reduction , in noise levels, a dense vegetative strip 50-feet wide is required. . As discussed previously, reducing speeds or the percentage of trucks would also result in a reduction in noise I levels, Both of these control measures are difficult to enforce and without enforcement, they would be ineffective in reducing noise levels. l .. .

DESIGN CONCEPT ALTERNATIVES b The design altematives for the Highway 96 Corridor have been separated into the following categories in order to simplify the description of the alternatives and the evaluation of the II alternatives. . Cross-Section Alternatives .. . Access Spacing Altematives . Signal Location . Regional Trail Location II . Landscaping and Urban Design Treatments . The alternatives for each category Can be evaluated on a corridor-wide basis or they can be evaluated on a segment by segment basis with the segments being defined by the city boundaries, The decision on whether to evaluate on a corridor wide basis Or on a segmental basis will depend on the . category of alternatives and the roadway elements under evaluation. CROSS SECTION ALTERNATIVES II There are a number of elements which make up a the cross-section of a roadway including. rI' . Through Traffic Lanes . Turn Lanes . Shoulders II . Drainage Provisions . Boulevard Area . II Several potential cross-sections were developed to illustrate the potential roadway width and right- of-way needs for different cross-sections. These prototypical sections are shown on Figures and, II Each of the cross-section elements are discussed below. Throu!':h Traffic Lanes II The first cross-section element to consider is the number of through lan-es required. The number of through traffic lanes needed depends on the traffic demand_ The County's policy allows a maximum II offour through lanes (two in each direction). The standard width for a traffic lane is 12 feet. . Turn Lanes , A second consideration is the need for left,turn lanes. Left-tum lanes provide both a safety and capacity benefit where left-turns are permitted. The County's fundamental guidelines requires that I left-turn lanes be provided where left-turns are per:nitted_ The standard width for a left,turn lane is ,. - - 49 ,-- ~~' I - I .. . -~ ~=--;:'~~::~~;,.:-,;W:~1'~'~~' ;.... ~ . ....," ,", ......:r~-.-I' ~-t-i,.J.;/. $?"I'\~/;~~ t':/j<.~_'!Y~'" - {"',;' ~","'''' ';!'q, _\l.\"o!

Left-turn lanes might be provided by a continuous two-way left-turn lane as shoy,n in the three-lane urban or five-lane urban sections. III The continuous center two-way left-turn lane is typically used in areas where there are lower speeds and multiple access points, A second alternative is to carve out a left-turn lane in a median III separating the through lanes: This is illustrated in the section labeled four-lane urban with single left-turn lanes. The minimum desirable median width is 6 feet, so in areas where there is no turn lane the median is typically 18 feet wide.. Where adequate right-of-way is available a wider median may II be desirable to separate the paved areas and allow landscaping that would enhance the visual quality of the roadway. This wider median might also be used to provide double left-turn lanes where there is very large turning volumes, II Shoulders II A third consideration is the need for shoulders. There are a number of reasons shoulders are desirable including the following: II . they provide an emergency stopping area for disabled vehicles; . they provide an escape area to avoidan accident; II . they provide area for vehicles to slow and make turns out of the through lanes; Ie . they provide for drier through lanes during heavy rains; I . they provide an area for maintenance operations and snow storage; and . they provide additional separation between traffic in the through lanes and I obstructions or people adjacent to the highway. Shoulders also improve the safety of the highway for many of the reasons listed above. A desirable I shoulder width is 10 feet. The sections show8 feet plus the 2 foot curb and gutter. Shoulders are not mandatory but are highly desirable. Narrower shoulders would be better than no shoulders since I they allow vehicles to at least get partially out the through -lanes. Drainal!e Provisions . .' There are two ways to handle drainage on an arterial street. One option is to provide drainage ditches similar to what is currently provided on the existing highway. Drainage ditches require . approximately 40 feet adjacent to both sides of the roadway. A second option is to provide curb and gutter with an underground storm drainage system to convey the water to selected outlets or ponds. The underground storm drainage pipes can be placed under the roadway or under the boulevard. The . standard width for the curb and gutter in this section is two feet. .- Boulevard Area -,.'." I 52 :r-- I - I. - The last area to consider is the boulevard area. The width of the boulevard can vary from 10 feet to I 30 feet in an urban section and may be up to 50 feet with a rural section. The width of the boulevard will vary depending on what is placed in the boulevard area such as trails, walks, or landscaping, . I State Aid Standards require a 10-foot clearance from the driving lane when the posted speed exceeds 45 miles per hour. Ramsey County also likes to maintain 10 feet behind the curb for snow storage. ~ Potential boulevard sections are shown in Figures ~ I Based on an evaluation of the prototypical cross-sections five alternative roadway cross-sections L..' were identified as possible alternatives for Highway 96 and include~ I . 2-Lane Undivided it - . 2-Lane With Two-Way Center Left-turn Lane I . 4-Lane Undivided . 4-Lane Divided With Left-turn Lanes L.i . 4-Lane With Two-Way Center Left-turn Lane - - I These alternatives are shown on Figures -mthru ----. ' , - I ACCESS SPACING ALTERNATIVES 1: 1 - I. As discussed in an earlier section of this report, criteria were established for the location of access points on Highway 96. However, because the current access does not meet these criteria and because [11 it is necessary to'imiintain access to existing land uses it is not possible to meet the access spacing - - I criteria in every case. The affected municipalities will have considerable input into the location of access to Highway 95. For the purposes of the draft Concept Report the.consultant with input from ~ I the County have identified what they believe is the best access plan from the perspective of traffic I operations on Highway 96, In some areas thi~{'ihay create poor access for adjacent land uses and alternatives will be evaluated. ." I SIGNAL LOCATIONS ~' :-11 - The recommended plan identifies the locations where signals are being considered in the corridor. I In most cases, with the exception of Snail Lake Boulevard these potential signal locations meet the -il spacing criteria identified for the corridor. Although, the report identifies potential signal locations ,,-"" the interSections still must meet the signal warrant criteria before a signal will be installed. - I ---D REGIONAL TRAIL LOCATION .' I As discussed earlier, the Highway 96 corridor has been designated as a corridor for a regional trail. ---.il The trail could be located on either the north side or south side of the highway. I _':'1 Ie - _..Jl I 53 . , - I _i IT I. _,',I ] I LANDSCAPING AND URBAN DESIGN TREATMENTS - I The last category of altematives addresses the other related design elements that affect the overall ]" image of the corridor. The elements included in this category include landscaping, lighting, treatment of overhead utilities, special features, entry/gateway treatments, and city monuments/signs. ] I The roadway enhancement program will consist of overall corridor improvements, which will - I be implemented as part of the roadway reconstruction, and city improvements, which will be ] implemented by each municipality _ In addition, the roadway reconstruction as well as the urban design enhancement program may be implemented in stages over a number of years. - ]I I - APPROACH TO CORRIDOR ENHANCEMENTS ~ I Highway 96 is a highly significant roadway for the seven communities in the corridor. Highway - 96 is an inter -city link, it is a circulation artery for each of the communities, it serves as a gateway ]I I from the regional transportation system, and it connects the communities to a number of significant natural features and open space elements. -- - I. The proposed reconstruction of Highway 96 presents a number of opportunities to enhance the ]I environmentin the corridor: ." . " - . :J I . It allows the improvement or correction of existing conditions; - - . It permits the establishment of an improvement program for new developments; and :l I . It creates the opportunity to incorporate a number of urban design enhancements as part .1 of the roadway improvement project. i I - - Besides standard roadway reconstruction, the communities along the Highway. 96 corridor are I given the opportunity to take a comprehensive look at the corridor and to develop a program ~ which not only provides for practical and functional movement of vehicles and goods along the - corridor, but one which also responds to aesthetic and environmental needs of its citizens. A I major infrastructure improvement project, such as the recqnstruction of Highway 96, should be ""- utilized to not only provide for traffic circulation requirements, but to also add something to the communities and to improve the overall visual and physical environment. I "'-- Natural Environment "".. I One of the primary enhancement oppg.rrinl'ifies of this project is the potential to replenish and --- restore the natural features in the corridor. Besides the mitigation of environmental impacts, such - I- 0 as the replacement of impacted wetlands, the project could be utilized to supplement the existing - landscaping in the corridor and to replace much of the lost vegetation and trees. General I 59 -- ---- - -- ------ -_._--~"~.."..,~.~,~,~ 1 I. landscaping and, especially, large evergreen and deciduous trees help to provide shade and cool the environment, store water, and replenish our environmental systems. I The corridor improvements should include substantial landscaping improvements and planting of I boulevard and median trees. To reduce capital costs and to optimize the survival rate of the street trees, smaller caliper trees should be used. Consideration should be given to installing natura] groupings oftrees, shrubs, wildflowers, and grasses to minimize maintenance costs and to provide I a more natural look to the corridor. Recreational Uses I A second area of opportunity, is the potential to enhance passive and active recreational uses. The corridor is a primary link between and within the communities along the corridor and it contains I many public facilities, lakes, and natural features. A primary recreational feature could be a pedestrian/bicycle trail which would extend the whole I length of the corridor. The trail should be continuous, convenient, safe, and it should provide linkages to the residential neighborhoods, commercial developments, public facilities, and natural I features along the corridor. Other recreational opportunities are presented in association with the natural features and public I- facilities along the corridor. The Ramsey County Open Space at Snail Lake, the Water Works Park and Forest Preserve at Sucker Lake, and the Shoreview Commons area are examples of excellent opportunities to develop recreational features I and destinations. Linkages to the trail system and rest stops along the lakeshores could provide an exciting and vibrant recreational environment for actiye as well as passive enjoyment of the corridor environment. I Aesthetic Quality I The third major area of opportunity is to improve the visual environment for aesthetic enjoyment. Special landscaping treatments including ornamental trees and flowers, well-designed signs and gateways or entry monuments, and carefully protected views and vistas would serve to increase I the aesthetic appeal and the enjoyment of the corridor by visitors to the area as well as regular users. I The urban design enhancement program should be designed to complement and to improve the appearance and image of the communities along the Highway 96 corridor. To achieve this will I require the participation of the communities along the corridor as well as a comprehensive roadway enhancement program. . I COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENTS Ie - The visual appearance of the seven communities along Highway 96 will be a major factor in the 60 I , ------ - I ~ ~ - I. - overall character and image of the corridor. Since Highway 96 is a significant gateway to the - communities, as well as an inter, and intra-community link, special consideration should be given -, I to the visual image of the corridor. - Although the overall appearance of the communities is important, the most critical areas to the ~, I corridor's appearance are the properties which are located directly adjacent to the roadway. In general, there are few dilapidated or unsightly developments in the corridor. However, a number ~ of areas and developments have limited landscaping or other urban design enhancements. -' I - Due to the significance of the corridor, special treatments or guidelines should be considered for the corridor. Corridor overlay districts or other means should be employed to provide special -,,- I urban design enhancements or treatments for the corridor. The guidelines or regulations should - - address existing as well as future developments. The key elements to be addressed by these guidelines or regulations are: -, I - . Land Use/ Access, Single-family or other uses which are incompatible with the arterial -, I character of the roadway and which require frequent access points should be discouraged and programs should be developed to remove or phase out such existing uses. - ~ I . Landscaping, All developments along the Highway 96 corridor should be well - landscaped and consideration should be given to include larger groupings or clusters of - I- landscaping materials to complement the natural features along the corridor. Extra efforts - should be made to screen large parking areas with landscaping materials and to include - - landscaped islands in parking lots to break up large parking surfaces. _l__. I . Signs, Sign programs should be developed to minimize sign clutter or the proliferation - - of too many signs and to prevent the spread of off-premise advertising. -, I - - CORRIDOR URBAN DESIGN IMPROVEMENT COMPONENTS -, I Following is a list of recommended urban design improvements for the Highway 96 corridor: - - I 1. Street Lights, Street lights on both sides of the roadway would be utiiized to light the roadway as well as to throw incidental light on the trail and walkways. Shielding would --- be used to prevent light spillover onto residential properties. "" I -' ...,.., , - ' 2. TraillWalk Lights, Trail/walk lights would be used to light the trail and walkways if no streetlights are installed, or to supplement the streetlights if they are installed. The - I trail/walk lights would be scaled to the bicyclists/pedestrians and would help to improve - the safety and usability of the trails and walkways. ~...".,. I 3. Walkway. Where appropriate, a six-foot wide pedestrian concrete walkway would be .- installed to inter-link residential areas, commercial developments, public facilities, and Ie - ~ recreational and open space features, 61 ~ I - ,-----,- "--. I I. 4, Trail. A ten-foot wide bituminous trail would be installed the whole length of the I corridor. The trail system would include appropriate crossings at streets and a sign I system. 5, Landscaping for Boulevards and Medians, Street trees, shrubs, and grasses would be I installed to provide boulevard and median landscaping. The landscaping material would be grouped, as much as possible, to provide natural pockets of landscaping and to minimize maintenance costs. I Different levels of landscaping could be used depending upon available funds, desire for landscaping treatments, or the individual needs of the communities. I 6, Landscaping - Special Focal Areas, Special landscaping treatments would be provided at significant locations, such as at city hall locations or other important or significant I facilities. The special landscaping treatments could include special ornamental trees and/or shrubs, flowers, or other urban design treatments. These areas would need to be irrigated. I 7, Rest Stops for Trail. The rest stops would be small plazas at key points along the trail to provide opportunities for resting and for enjoying the lakes, natural features, and open II spaces. The rest stops would include bicycle storage, seating, landscaping, and interpretive signs. I 8. Corridor Gateways, The corridor gateways would be installed at the interchanges of Highway 96 with 1-35W and 1-35E and would serve as symbolic entryways to the seven- community Highway 96 corridor. The gateways could be established with landscaping I materials or they could be physical elements, such as banner poles with banners or symbolic structures or sculptures. I 9. City Entry Signs. The city entry signs would be markers or monuments at the. city limits of each community. The entry signs could be constructed either as a panel sign or as a monument and would include complementary landscaping. I 10, Special Feature Signs. The special feature signs would be used to designate special I features in the corridor, such as lakes and, possip!y, p<ttks and open spaces. They would be constructed as panel signs and woltld incluae complementary landscaping. . I Table I defines the Urban Design Improvement Components and provides preliminary, concept, level, estimated construction costs for each element.' , For a number of the"'eiements various levels of treatment, including their corresponding costs, are given. ~' ..~ I Other urban design treatments may include, if needed: retaining walls, screen walls, special .' - structures, and special feature areas, such as the fishing bridge/overlook at Sucker Lake. 62 J ''-'" ---- .

Ie - I ~;' , I. EVALUATION OF ALTERNATIVES I EVALUATION CRITERIA , The evaluation criteria may be different depending on the alternatives or options that are being evaluated. Not all criteria will necessarily be applicable to every alternative, In general the evaluation criteria should relate to the goals and objectives that were identified for the project. Some , goals and objectives may require -more than one evaluation criteria and there may be additional criteria that do not directly relate to a stated goal or objective that should be considered. , The evaluation criteria should cover the following goals and objectives. , 0 Improve Safety 0 Meet Forecast Traffic Demand , 0 Support Travel Demand Management , 0 Improve Bicycle and Pedestrian Movement Improve Community Image ,- 0 0 Minimize Impacts on Adjacent Land Uses , 0 Avoid Degradation of Water Quality 0 Minimize Social and Environmental Impacts I CAPACITY OF AL TERNA TIVE CROSS-SECTIONS , The capacity of an urban arterial is usually determined by the capacity at the signalized intersections, since these are the locations where there are also large volumes of crossing traffic and therefore the 't!i;",_ , through movement on the arterial is, interrupted. The chart on the following page shows typical dai~ ' volumes that .can be carried on different cross-sections assuming that the signalized intersections control the capacity on the arterial. The service volumes were estimated based on traffic conditions , typical for a suburban arterial. The purpose ofthe chart is to provide a general sense of the volume of traffic that can be carried by different cross-sections, "The actual capacity and level of service at any specific intersection will depend on the geometrics and traffic conditions at that intersection. I Also shown on the chart is the traffic volumes that can be carried by a two lane rural highway at different levels of service. This graph is applicable to long segments of roadway which have , relatively little access and cross traffic, On these segments the level of service is defined as the .percent of time that vehicles are delayed.

'- '- (the segment of Highway 96 between Rice and McMenemy may be considered to be rural highway) it provides a general sense of the volume of traffic that may be carried on a two lane cross-section having little access and cross traffic. III There is a large range for level of service "E" on this type offacility and the maximum capacity is about 20,000 vehicles per day. However at about 10,000 vehicles per day, the traffic flow becomes ,,- . relatively unstable. In the neighborhood of 15,000 vehicles per day there is high probability of breakdown in the traffic flow. Because the two lane section on Highway 96 is downstream from a III signalized intersection the traffic is compressed into platoons. Because of the platoons, breakdowns in the traffic flow can occur at volumes ofless than 15,000 vehicles per day, especially at the point where the two lanes (in one direction) merge into one. III The 1992 average daily traffic volume on Highway 96 between Rice Street and McMenemy was 14,500 vehicles per day. The 2015 forecast is 21,300 vehicles per day. The forecast volumes in III other segments of the corridor range up to 31,500 vehicles per day. Based on these traffic volumes, a four lane cross-section is needed throughout the corridor to provide at least level of service "D". Turn lanes will also be needed at many locations for both safety and capacity reasons. III Level of Service " The level of service on an urban arterial is defined by the relationship between the average travel speed and the free flow travel speeds. The free flow speed is defined as the average desired speed of all vehicles on the arterial. One of the most important factors affecting the average travel speed .. on an arterial is the frequency and location of signals. As the number of signals increases, the average travel speed will decrease because of the additional delay caused by the signals. In addition, III poor spacing between signals can result in poor progression and therefore further delays to traffic on the arterial. Progression is the ability of a platoon of vehicles to move through a series of signalized intefsections without having to stop. l1li Other factors which affect the average travel speed include traffic density, driveway access point density, the existence of parking, the level of pedestrian activity, the proportion of trucks and busses, ~ and turning movements. Actions which will improve the level of service on an arterial include limiting access points, prohibiting on street parking, and providing turn lanes for turning traffic. III INITIAL SCREENING OF ALTERNATIVES The initial screening of alternatives was based on the County's fundamental guidelines for the III design of Highway 96. If any of the roadway cross-section altematives do not meet or comply with these fundamental guidelines, they should be dismissed. Some of the guidelines that affect the selection of the roadway cross-section are discussed below. ~ . Highway 96 is designated as an "A-Minor" Arterial. - Highway 96 is part of the regional highway system and is intended to provide for the W movement of traffic between regions within the metropolitan area. .," .III, 66 .- ' -,---- , ,--,- :;':~'::.jFfijf4 _I .- J . Highway 96 needs to accommodate current and projected traffic volumes. , J The county does not attempt to build in congestion to limit development or to limit the use of the road for its intended function. The forecast 2015 traffic volumes on Highway 96 - , indicate the need for a minimum of two lanes in each direction even at the lowest volume J location, which is between Rice Street and McMenemy. The analysis of the forecasts volumes indicates that approximately 70 percent of the traffic in this segment, is traffic that - . either originates or is destined to one of the communities along the highway. The other 30 ~ percent are longer trips but are still consistent with the function of an "A" minor arterial. In addition, the current forecasts are based on a relatively low level of development on the J . TCAAP site, which means future volumes may be higher than forecast if the TCAAP site were to develop as commercial and residential land uses. - I . Provide turn-lanes or median design elements for all access. J - , Where left-turns are permitted, a separate lane for the left-turning vehicles should be J provided. - . Based on the above considerations, the 2-Lane Undivided and the 2-Lane With Two-Way Center J Left-turn Lane should be dismissed because they do not accommodate the projected traffic volumes. Between Rice Street and McMenemy there is only one access point and the 4-Lane Undivided - .- alternative is still a viable alternative for this segment. Throughout the rest of the corridor, access J is quite frequent and left-turn lanes will be needed. - - , Other Cross-Section Features :r Other features of the roadway cross-section to be determined are the need for and width of shoulders ~ , and whether the roadway should be a rural (drainage ditches) or urban (storm drain pipes) section. J Shoulders ..." J , The need for and benefit of shoulders was discussed in an earlier section. Some of the reasons for , and benefits of shoulders are: J they provide an emergency stopping area for disabled vehicles; - . they provide an escape area to avoid an accident; J - they provide an area for vehicles to slow and make turns out of the through lanes; - they provide for drier through lanes during heavy rains; , - they provide an area for maintenance operations and snow storage; and J - they provide an additional separation between traffic in the through lanes and obstructions or people adjacent to the highway. JU . Although 8-foot shoulders are not required by state aid standards, they are an important safety .- - feature and are highly desirable. J - , 67 .[ - I I I- Urban Vs. Rural Section I The two main benefits of an urban section over a rural section are reduced right-of-way needs and better aesthetics. In most areas an urban section will require less right-of-way than a rural section I because it eliminates the need for ditches which must be left open for drainage, Because open ditches are not required with an urban section it is also possible to place landscaping, lighting or other roadside features closer to the roadway, which helps to reduce the perceived width of the I roadway. Although an urban section will involve additional treatment for stormwater runoff, the other advantages make the urban section a better fit in the Highway 96 Corridor. I Access Spacin:: The alternatives that must be evaluated relative to access spacing will depend on whether a 4-Lane I Divided section is selected or whether a 4-Lane With Two-Way Center Left-turn Lane is selected. If the Two-Way Center Left-turn Lane is selected in a segment, there are few other access alternatives that need to be evaluated since most existing access would be accommodated. If the 4- I Lane Divided section is selected in a segment there may be several alternatives for providing breaks in the median and full access to adjacent land uses. I Si::nal Locations .- The placement of traffic signals should be evaluated based on traffic signal warrants defined in the Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. The impact of the traffic signal spacing on traffic progression in the Highway 96 corridor should also be considered in identifying intersections I which will be signalized. Traffic signal progression will help to smooth traffic flow, reduce speeding, and maintain reasonable average speeds. I Re!!ional Trail Location The alternatives for the location of the regional trail are the north side of Highway 96, the south side I of Highway 96 or a combination of north and south side. It is highly desirable to keep the regional trail on the same side of Highway 96 throughout the corridor in order to minimize the number of roadway crossings. If the trail is located on the south side of Highway 96 it would be adjacent to I Water the Works Park and Forest Preserve and adjacent to the Snail Lake Open Space and Trail System so that bicycles and pedestrians could access these areas without crossing Highway 96. In I areas where pedestrian circulation needs to be accommodated on the north side of Highway 96, sidewalks can be provided. Shoreview is planning for two pedestrian underpasses on Highway 96 which can provide connections from areas on the north side of Highway 96 to a trail located on the I south side of the highway. . I I- - I 68 J'!E~:.__ J -' - - '. ~ DETAILED EVALUATION OF ALTERNATIVES - , - The alternatives that passed through the initial screening of alternatives were evaluated in more detail. The conclusions reached in the initial screening were: - , - 0 Highway 96 needs two through lanes in each direction, it should have 8 foot shoulders, ~ 0 , 0 left-turn lanes should be provided where left-turns are permitted, - 0 Highway 96 should be an urban section with curb and gutter. - I Median Alternatives - ~ ~- I The only remaining cross-section issue following the initial screening of alternatives is the width of the median area on Highway 96. There are four potential alternatives for the median area. - - 0 Wide Median - The wide median would be 30 feet wide and would be of sufficient , -- width to allow double-left turn lanes where needed, . ~ I 0 Narrow Median - The narrow median would be 18 feet wide and would provide for - single left-turn lanes where left-turns are permitted. ~, _____.c I- 0 Two-way Center Left-Tum Lane - The two-way center.left-turn lane could be 14 feet - wide and would allow for left,turns in both directions. - I 0 No Median - In sections of Highway 96 where there is no access it may be possIble -,- to get rid of the median area. -. , The preferred median alternative can be different for different segments of the corridor. In order to ----- facilitate the evaluation, the corridor was divided into the following segments for evaluation. - , Old Highway 8 to Highway 10 - 0 0 Highway 10 to Lexington A venue - , 0 Lexington Avenue to Hodgson Road -'-= Hodgson Road to Rice Street ..',. 0 0 Rice Street to McMenemy - I 0 McMenemy to Centerville Road - -- A matrix was developed for each segment indicating the key points relative to nine different I evaluation criteria, The matrix for each segment is attached at the end of this memorandum. - -- In locations where there is plenty of right-of-way, where access is nll'f1in issue, and where there is , little or no impact to adjacent land uses or wetlands the wide median would be the ideal alternative - because it provides the highest level of safety, it provides the greatest flexibility for enhancements, - .- - it provides the opportunity to add double left-turn lanes at selected locations without further widening, and it would provide a consistent cross-section throughout the corridor. However, the - - - . 69 - - -~..=,~, I I- ideal conditions do not exist in each segment and therefore other median alternatives may be more appropriate for some segments. Below is a summary of some of the key trade-offs in each segment. I Old Hwv 8 to Hwv 10 I Since a raised median and channelization is desirable at the signalized intersections there will be a need for at least a narrow median in this segment of the corridor. With a narrow median, most of I the median area would be used for left'turn lanes and there would be very little area for landscape enhancements. However, the wider median will result in additional wetland impact and there is relatively low probability that double left-turn lanes will be needed in the future. I Highwav 10 to Lexington Avenue I In this area there is a relatively high probability that double left-turn lanes may be needed in the future, there is plenty of right-of-way, there would be relatively little impact to adjacent land uses or wetlands, and there would be relatively little impact on the existing access. I Lexington to Hod!?son Road I In this segment there is adequate right-of-way to accommodate the wide median but there will be wetland impacts and some impact to adjacent land uses with the wide median. There is a low I- probability that double-left turns will be needed in this segment. There are existing land uses that currently have full access that would be restricted to right-in and right-out if a raised median were provided. However, from a safety standpoint the raised median would be desirable. I Hodgson to Rice Street . , In this segment there is adequate right-of-way to accommodate the wide median and there will minimal wetland impacts or impact to adjacent land uses with the wide median. However, there is a low probability that double-left turns will be needed in this segment. There are existing land uses , that currently have full access that would be restricted to right-in and right-out if a raised median were provided, From a safety standpoint the raised median would be desirable. , Rice Street to McMenemv , In this segment additional right-of-way would have to be acquired in some locations to accommodate the wide median alternative. The median would have impacts on the golf course, Water Works Park, and adjacent residential uses. There would also be additional wetland impacts. There is only one I access in this segment and if it could be moved to Rice Street there would be no need for left-turn lanes and the median may be eliminated. I McMenemv to Centerville .- - In this segment there is adequate right-of-way to accommodate the wide. median but there will be wetland impacts and some impact to adjacent land uses with the Wide median. There is a low , -'10 nm.' , ~- - -1 I- -- probability that double-left turns will be needed in this segment. There are existing land uses that ,- -1 , currently have full access that would be restricted to right-in and right-out if a raised median were II provided. However, from a safety standpoint the raised median would be desirable. I - 1 - i I - - - I .. - I - -, - - , - -' , --- -,--. Ie -' - I - - - I -- - I - - - I ~,- ..

The recommended cross, section is different for different segments of the corridor. However, the - recommended cross-section does have the following elements in common. - T ',"'. . Four through traffic lanes (2 in each direction) - . 8 foot shoulders .r . Regional Trail Located on the South Side of the Highway .. . Raised Median with the possible exception between Rice and McMenemy . Left-turn Lanes at Full Access Intersections I . Right -turn Lanes at all city streets and high traffic generators .r A wide median as shown in Figure is recommended in the segment of Highway 96 between Trunk Highway 10 and Lexington. This closely matches the roadway width that is currently in place and provides room for double left 'turn lanes if needed. An 18 foot median is recommended throughout J: the rest of the corridor-with the possible exception of the segment between Rice and McMenemy, Because there willoe. noaecess provided in this segmen there is no need to provide separate turn 7. lanes and thef/ifore a median is not needed. However, a landscaped median would help to reduce the visual impact of the roadway ifthere is adequate right-of-way. = ACCESS SPACING I :-"... A preliminary access plan was developed based on the access spacing criteria discussed earlier in - I this report. The preliminary access plan was developed to provide the safest operating conditions on Highway 96 while maintaining reasonable access to the adjacent land uses. Alternatives to the proposed access plan will be considered based on the public input. Under the proposed access plan - right-in, right-out access would be maintained at almost all of the existing access points in the :c corridor. Major intersections where traffic signals may be warranted are the following: - ..[ . Old Highway 8 . 1-35W Ramps - . Trunk Highway 10 :r: . Snelling Avenue (If it is an access to redeveloped TCAPP property . Hamline A venue (If it is an access to redeveloped TCAPP property) . Lexington Avenue ..[ . Victoria Street .

Theregional trail will be located on the south side of the highway. - ~' . LANDSCAPING AND URBAN DESIGN GUIDELINES - - This memorandum provides more detailed information regarding specific improvements as well as - . guidelines for enhancements which might be implemented by the cities that adjoin the corridor. The ""'- improvements discussed include: - - -' .- . Corridor Enhancements -, . Intersection Treatments Special Features - . , !!!L. - The memorandum also lists a number of key recommendations regarding the corridor enhancements. - If accepted, these recommendations will serve as the framt:'work and provide direction for more , detailed design in the next phase of the project ilevelopment. ' - - - I I. CORRIDOR ENHANCEMENTS -, - - , 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 regionallrail, as well as items which wouldbe the responsibility of the cities I along the corridor, such as lighting. Specialty items ate 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 - - , 73 - - '1II.1___-:A'.-~,^ ~." J. h 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 -- -, ~.1 One way to enhance the appearance ofihe 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 ,Jr will make it appear more bicyclist and pedestrian "friendly." ,.'~~ iT Recommendation # 1: TRAIL SURFACE FINISH -- 'Ie Use red rock as a surface finish for the regional trail to enhance its appearance, - j[ b. Concrete Edge Bands .ra 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 of the trail. The concrete edge Ie 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 L bituminous pavement; - . Give the trail a "finished" appearance. - L The one-foot wide concrete strips, typically, can be formed with curb extrusion equipment, making this a relatively easy item to install. ~ Recommendation #2: TRAIL EDGE TREATMENT - ~~ Install one-foot wide concrete edge bands on both sides of the regional trail in order - to improve its visibility and structural stability. L .~ 2. Roadway Curb - Roadway curb-and,guner is typically installed with a 6-inch wide top-of-curb and varying guner - -'-= 74 l~ , -- - ' '- - 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 resistance to . damage and deterioration; ... , . It creates a wider ledge for lawn mower wheels to ride on, which contributes to safer ~ , maintenance operations; - It improves the visual appearance, since grass does not hang over into the gutter. --- . I Although this would appear to be a more expensive installation, our 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 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. - ,e ., - B. CORRIDOR LANDSCAPING ., , In terms oflandscaping for the Highway 96 corridor, two is~ues 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 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 position is that up to 5% of the overall project cost could be considered for the landscaping enhancements. ILone - I assumes, for rough estimating purposes, that the overallproject cost for reconstructing Highway 96 is 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. RL_", , - ,- - The cost estimates for corridor landscaping, presented in the August 7, 1995 Memorandum, -.L- range from $135,000, for a low-level treatment program, to $640,000, for a high-level treatment ~. ., , '~A3't~~ , '. 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. The landscaping enhancement program, described in greater detail in the August 7, 1995 , Memorandum, calls for the following: . Landscaped medians for the whole length of the corridor, in order to break up the I expanse of pavement; . Groups of trees, shrubs, wildflowers and grasses planted in clusters, in the medians as I 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; I . Smaller caliper trees, in order to optimize their survival rate and achieve the maximum amount of landscaping. I Recommendation #4: LANDSCAPED MEDIANS I Install landscaped medians for the full length of the corridor in order to break up ,- large expanses of pavement, I Recommendation #5: GENERAL CORRIDOR LANDSCAPING ENHANCE- I MENTS Install the general corridor landscaping enhancements in clusters, in order to create I a more natural look, and utilize smaller size and caliPer' landscaping materials, in orner to optimize the survival rate and maxim~~ the amount of landscaping, I 2. Landscaping Maintenance Costs I . Maintenance costs for landscaped areas will range, generally, from 5% to 15% of the original installation cost, per year, depending upon the level of care required. If the maintenance I 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 I other hand, if the landscaping maintenaneeincludes planting annuals, pruning and shearing of hedges, taking care of irrigation systems, and meticl!lous pruning of trees, the maintenance costs I- 0 will be at the upper end of the spectrum. Thus, for example, for every $100,000 worth of landscaping materials installed in a project, J 76 ~'':'-' ., . - - - .- - 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 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. I - C. GENERAL CORRIDOR LIGHTING .. I Lighting for the Highway 96 corridor, to be installed as part of the basic roadway 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 omamentallighting for trails, I walkways, or other facilities, will be the responsibility of the cities along the corridor or other - agencies. - I - 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 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 oflighting 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. , - - Recommendation #6: GENERAL CORRIDOR LIGHTING - . - Install some general roadway lighting throughout the length of the corridor, in order I 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 I program and availability of funding, the lighting design should be relatively simple and easy to - install and maintain. It most likely would not be prac!ical to specify one particular manufacturer or -. make of fixture, since this could cause problems with long-term availability agdcost.ofthe fixtures. -, I 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 spacing, general design - - 77 - . - - ----- f'.... ,~' .' \ , characteristics, and the color of the fixtures. ~. 1. Fixture Height and Spacing , 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 feel. 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 proj ecl. 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 , 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 oflight quality, due to 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 aJ}.cJ the dark blue would complement the many lakes. The final fixture color will be selected before any construction begins. ~ 4. Lighting Maintenance .. ~ 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 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 oflight bulbs and ballasts. - Recommendation #7: GENERAL CORRIDOR LIGHTING SPECIFICATIONS ~ J 78 '- I - ....-- '- - The roadway light fixtures should have the following design characteristics: round, - I tapered poles; round, "hatbox" fixtures; cutoff provisions to minimize Iigbt 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), ~. I - -- I - D. ORNAMENTAL OR THEME LIGHTING ~' . Besides the roadway lighting, cities along the corridor may elect to install 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 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) 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,.sllould be, in most cases, no taller than - I 25 feet, unless they 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 - - I Ornamental or theme light fixtures should not be intermingled with the roadway fixtures, 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 - I other 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 - 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. -- I ---- - .- . Recommendation #8: ORNAMENTAL OR THEME LIGHTING - - Ornamental or theme light fixtures in the Highway 96 corridor should have the following ~ I 79 - - .'."--"--'. -~'. ~- I I. characteristics: they should be no taller than 25 feet; they should be located away from the I roadway lights; and they should use a light source with "warm"color characteristics. , II. INTERSECTION TREATMENTS , In reconstructing the Highway 96 corridor, special attention should be paid to the design and ~ treatments of major intersections. The intersections, starting with the interchanges at I-:3SW 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. 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 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 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 enhancements or , special treatments include the following: pavement, traffic signals/lights, and landscaping~, All of these treatments would qualify for State Aid funding and would be maintained by the County. A. PAVEMENT TREATMENTS AT INTERSECTIONS , Pavement treatments can be a very excellent way to add color and texture:to a streetscape. However, , special pavements, generally, are effective only where 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 ~1or and special emphasis, to the intersection areas. One way to do this would be to establish a zone, possibly defined bya radius around the intersections, , in which all pavement, which is intended to be concrete, would be constructed of integrally, colored-concrete. Thus, concrete roadway pavement, concrete medians, walkways, and trails within I this zone would be constructed of integrally-colored-concrete, in one or more colors, . In order to provide design continuity and to allow for later installation of these treatments by the ,- cities as they develop specific plans for intersecfion areas, design guidelines will be developed during the design development phase and the guidelines .flnd specifications will be made available J 80 --~- ~,........,~'~;;;.. ,",-,,~~- , I , - ~ I - - to all the cities in the corridor. - , . . - , - Recommendation #9: SPECIAL PAVEMENT TREATMENTS AT INTERSEC- - nONS I ~ 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 - - I 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. ~ I 1. Special-Design Traffic Signals ~ - - I- 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 - '"caube very effective in creating a distinct identity. They do, however, usually cost more and I 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 -, - 0" I Since light fixtures will be installed on the signal poles, they should be coordinated withthe _H 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. - =- F or either scenario, our recommendation would be that the special corridor light fixture, I 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 signal poles would either fit with the rest of the light fixtures in the I 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 -,--- ,- 0 - Colors of traffic signal systems can include a potpourri of multiple colors such as yellow for -. the bases, unfinished metal in the middle, and some special color for the light fixtures at the top. - I 81 -- - --..---.. Other systems are totally coordinated with everything painted a single color. The issue, in most cases, 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 paint the total signal system assemblies in the designated corridor color (either the dark green or dark blue, whichever color is selected). 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, IJ C, INTERSECTION LANDSCAPING I Landscaping could be a key component for enhancing the intersections in the Highway 96 corridor. ,,- The existing intersection areas are "open" and they lack 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, h9wever, are small in scale and are located a considerable distance from the roadway, which makes it har~ to see them. IIJ 'f'., Opportunities for landscaping treatments exist, typically., ii'; the four quadrants of each ihtersectioii. I 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 comers would be ideal locations for installing sizeable groupings of landscaping treatments including deciduous and evergreen trees. I 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 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 featllres. , I Recommendation #11: INTERSECTION LANDSCAPING I _.' Install major groups or clusters of landscaping in the four quadrants of the major I- intersections in order to "green up" the corridor and provide special emphasis at the intersections. - I J 82 __~'r"," , ., - ~ . .-, - . III. SPECIAL FEATURES - , In addition to the basic roadway treatments, the enhancement program for the Highway 96 corridor iii 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: .. - . Special Landscaping Focal Areas , . Rest Stops for the Trail ., . Corridor Gateways ~ , . City Entry Signs . Special Feature Signs -'-- - ~ , All of the specialty items or features were identified and described in the 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 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.

DATE: November 9,1995 I TO: Mayor and City Council I FROM: Brian Fritsinger, City Administra@ SUBJECT: City Hall Improvements I Backl:round I Staff presented a brief background on improvements necessary at City Hall at the October 19, 1995, Council W orksession. Specifically, these improvements included roof modifications at the main building entry point, carpeting the eastern portion of the facility and purchasing ergonomic , work stations. Council directed Staff to cost various improvement altematives including, the rental of , temporary space trailers, To date, Staff has not yet prepared complete cost estimates for the furniture or space trailers, Preliminary numbers for the acquisition of trailers have been ,- obtained, but lease rates have not yet been explored. Staff has also been in contact with several furniture companies to obtain catalogs, but has not yet analyzed the relationship between the use of this furniture at the existing facility and how it would relate to a new facility. I Because of the change in weather, Staff would recommend proceeding with some of the improvements at this time. I Imllrovements 1. Roof Modifications , These improvements would gable the existing entry area. This improvement is necessary to resolve the continual leaking problem that currently exists. Staff obtained three bids for this project. The low bid was $2,100 by Pleasant View Homes, Inc. The other two I bids were $3,400 and $11,900. Pleasant View Homes completed the renovation of the Council Chambers into our current offices. I 2. Carpetinl:" the Eastern Portion of Buildinl:" The project would include the re-carpeting of the eastern portion of the building, The existing carpeting is extremely worn out and due to leakage in the roof has mold , problems in areas of the building. In the entry areas on the north and east side of the building, the carpet would be replaced with vinyl. I The City has received four bids for the project. At the time this memorandum was prepared, Staff was still discussing the proposals with the various firms. The submitted ,. proposals were not consistent and follow up is required prior to making a , . " - recommendation to Council. I expect to have completed this review prior to Monday's .- meeting and anticipate providing a recommendation at that time. The Bids received were: . - *Floor Design $6,263.75 , · Floors By Becker $6,467.80 - 'The Schneider Co. $4,550.00 · Jerry's Floor Store $3,929.00 I Financing , These improvements are not budgeted items for 1995 or 1996. During the Staff/Council budget discussions, Staff had suggested that Council consider allocating portions of the Community Services Fund to pay for these one-time expenditures. To date, the fund balance in this account . is $109,000. The Council has had a history of allocating a portion of this Fund to cover the operating costs of the Program Fund. Recommendation - Staff would recommend the City Council approve the use of a transfer from the Community -, Services Fund to pay for the entry area improvements to City Hall. This approval would consist of awarding the contract for the entry area improvements to Pleasant View Homes, Inc. in the amount of $2,100. Staff will also be making a reconunendation on the carpeting at the Meeting. , - , , I , I -. , , 1f~(epn'On.rf.i~r 't!:I VV.1.

There are several reasons for the increases in the budget over the past several years: I 1. Rate Reaulation: Congress passed legislation in 1992 that re-regulated cable rates and directed the FCC to develop rate regulation rules. Those rules, which took effect in September 1993, were over 1,000 pages in their first .- version, with changes and clarifications being promulgated on a monthly basis. Suffice it to say that they were far more onerous, for us and for the cable company, than anything we would have developed. I Following the FCC's rate regulatory process required a great deal of legal and accounting expertise which was reflected in our expenses for 1993-1995. I The good news is that, as a result of the Cable Commission's effort. Meredith Cable had to refund over $764.443 to its subscribers in our ten-city system, and Mounds View High School received a $40,000 grant for video production I Arden Hills equipment, Falcon Heights At this tirlle, rate regulation is an on-gc;ng responsibility for the Cable Lauderdale Little Canada Commission. The federal telecommunications legislation would de-regulate I Mounds View the upper tier of cable programming services, while retaining rate regulation for the basic level of service. I do believe, however, that future rate New Brighton regulation will be less cost-intensive, now that we have established the I North OaKs company's base rate level. Roseville 51. Antho'ly 2. Municipal Access Coordinator' -- In 1994 the Cable Commission added a part- I 5horeview time municipal access coordinator to its staff. This person provides production support to the cities' municipal access producers, facilitates joint production efforts among the cities, and handles all of our election coverage. I 3. Transfer of Ownership -- Meredith Cable has been trying to sell this system . since the advent of rate regulation. It appears that they have found a buyer, I and we expect an announcement any day. However, any transfer of I ___w_______ ~- I Brian Fritsinger .1 November 6, 1995 Page 2. 0 I ownership requires approval of the Cable Commission, and ultimately, of the I member cities. The transfer process requires that we determine whether the proposed purchaser has the legal, financial, and technical ability to operate the system and comply with the requirements of the franchise. Again, this is I a process that relies heavily on legal expertise, as well as on other technical consultants, and the 1995 and 1996 budgets reflect the potential for these expenses. I 4. Franchise Renewal -- The other major anticip'lted expense will be franchise renewal. As you know, our franchises expire in late 1997. FCC rules, I however, require that we begin the process three years prior to expiration. Even more so than with the transfer of ownership, this is a process that requires the hiring of engineering, accounting and other consultants to I augment the legal work that must be done to ensure that our cities and their residents continue to have quality cable services. The telecommunications revolution in which we are caught is going to further complicate our work. I Once we are through the franchise transfer and renewal processes, we should return to more "normal" budgets, although the many changes we are seeing in cable and -I telecommunications may continue to require an active Cable Commission. On the other hand, we have been successful in spending far less than budgeted over the past several years. As proof of the success of our efforts, the Cable Commission I currently has $140,000 in its checking account, an amount that should carry us through until next year's franchise fees are paid, with a like amount in a reserve account invested with the City of Roseville. We certainly do not want or intend to I eliminate our reserves, but, frankly, we have a way to go before that occurs. I don't want to minimize or make light of your city council's concerns. Instead, I I want to reassure you and the city council that the Cable Commission is being fiscally prudent, trying to balance its obligation to fulfill its regulatory responsibiHties with its financial resources. Again, I appreciate your interest and welcome the opportunity to I tell the Cable Commission's story. In fact, I would be happy to attend a city council meeting to provide an update on the Cable Commission's activities and to brief them on the transfer and renewal process. Please let me know when I might be able to I get on the city council's agenda. Sine ;JikJ I Coralie A. Wilson Executive Director I cc: David Sand .
