Staff would reserve the right to attach conditions as needed or request a formal application with public hearing, if warranted, I.

Mayor Probst asked whether a definite number of additional dock doors was specified in the request. Ms, Chaput stated the additional doors would be reviewed as requested, Councilmember Aplikowski expressed her surprise that the Planning Commission was willing to approve the three items in question since they have been particular in the past with regard to tying up loose ends, Councilmember Larson stated the issue has been discussed at length at recent Planning Commission meetings he has attended, He noted the Council has expressed its concern that the development does not resemble what was originally intended, He added he is troubled by items being added to the parking lots at the site which were never intended there, Councilmember Larson stated he recognizes the necd to attract and accommodate tenants, He noted that if such items are added, additional screening should be required or wingwalls should be extended, Councilmember Larson stated the Planning Commission had received little guidance from the building owners with regard to these possibilities, Ms, Domla Becker, a representative of Welsh Companies, stated that her company reviews each request individually in light of the original planning process, and they feel they are in compliance with what was intended, She added that if exterior storage is requested, Planning Commission approval would be required, and potential tenants are advised of this possibility, . Ms, Becker stated she does not see the building as negative in appearance, She added that the exterior doors are for emergency purposes, and enlarged doors and ramps are a necessity for the use of the facilities, Couneilmember Larson stated that the addition of ramps at the rear of the building is more troubling to him, Ms, Becker stated that only one tenant has a drive-in ramp, She added that her company wishes to work with City staff to meet their tenant's needs, Couneilmember Larson stated he is comfortable with items I and 3, but not item 2, unless City staff has an understanding that some Councilmembers are concerned about permanent ramps at the rear of the development. Ms, Chaput stated that if the Council is not comfortable with that item, she would recommend removing it from the PUD Amendment and returning it to the Planning Commission for further review, Mayor Probst stated that there had been extensive initial discussion with regard to the design of the development and the importance of screening public streets from the loading dock areas, He added that a change in the original plans makes some of the docks a lot more visible than what was originally intended, He noted that if the Council had been aware that additional items would be required on the property, additional screening would have been required, Mayor Probst stated that the Council would wish the building's owner to be successful in the community, but added he would wish some empathy in terms of the changes occurring on the pro perty , . ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - .Tune 26, 2000 4 . Ms, Becker asked whether necessary screening could be determined at City staff level, as part of the process of determining what additional items are acceptable, She added her company is simply trying to reduce the amount of time that the process takes, Mayor Probst stated he is comfOliable allowing City staff to make screening determinations, Councilmember Grant asked whether items 4 and 5, which were tabled, will come back before the Council. Ms, Chaput confirmed that the items will be presented to the Council at the .Tuly 31 regular meeting, Mr. Larson stated he would hope that City staff remains sensitive to the views expressed by the Council with regard to proposals for ramps and what additional screening might be requested in return, Mayor Probst stated he is comfortable that the additional screening requirement should be an item for staff review, He asked whether this should be more explicit in the approval. Ms, Chaput suggested that the addition of such language would be appropriate for referral by future staff Councilmember Larson stated it might be appropriate to add to the approval that staff could include conditions regarding screening, Mr. Lynch noted that this should state "including but not limited to landscaping", . MOTION: Councilmember Aplikowski moved and Councilmember Grant seconded a motion to approve Planning Case #00-17b, Planned Unit Development (PUD) Amendment for the properties at 1887 and 1987 Gateway Boulevard, with the following additional statement: "City staff reserves the right to attach conditions regarding screening including, but not limited to, landscaping," The motion carried unanimously (5-0), 2. Case #00-14, 3491 Lake ,Johanna Boulevard, Variance, Mertensotto Ms, Chaput stated that the applicant was not present at the meeting, Mr. Lynch stated that questions might arise which would require the presence ofthe applicant or a representative of the applicant_ He suggested the issue might be tabled again since it might not be fair to make a decision on a case when the applicant is not represented, He asked whether the case might be tabled, Ms, Chaput stated the applicant's 60 days had been waived, Mayor Probst stated he would wish to informally poll the council since it might not be an issue if the case were approved, . Councilmember Aplikowski stated she is not in agreement with the Planning Commission as the house is in need of improvement and the applicant has tried to come up with other ideas, She ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - June 26, 2000 5 . added she is not against what he is offering and if the roadway came close to the structure in future, it could be dealt with at that time, She stated she is in favor of the proposal. Councilmember Rem stated she agrees with Councilmember Aplikowski that the house would be improved by the addition and it makes sense to allow the changes to take place, She added that the existing foundations are above grade and are solid, Councilmember Grant stated he is in favor of the applicant's plans, He added Mr. Mertensotto wants to improve the property and has produced a few alternatives, He noted the house was in that location prior to the street being laid, and that makes the property nonconforming, He asked whether removal of the proposed structure could be made conditional upon the widening of the roadway, Ms, Chaput stated that once the addition is approved it is permitted to stay there until it is ripped down or destroyed as it is nonconforming and can not be reconstructed, Councilmember Larson expressed his support of the applicant's plans, He stated the house is in a prominent position in the city and any improvement is welcome given the condition of the house, He added that it is located across from a park that the County is extensively redeveloping, Councilmember Larson noted that the proposed improvements will be constructed on existing footings, and will be constructed so as to be easily removed, if necessary, He stated that the lot's . unique circumstances warrant a variance in this case, He reiterated his support of the request. Mayor Probst asked whether landscaping could be requested as a condition of approval. Mr. Lynch stated that is permissible, Mayor Probst expressed concern that a precedent might be set if approval was granted when no hardship was demonstrated, He stated a combination of the proposed improvements and additional landscaping might make a valuable distinction from other neighborhoods, Mayor Probst stated he is prepared to support the request, He added that if the applicant is willing to accept conditions with regard to additional landscaping, there might be a way to approve without creating a precedent, Mr. Lynch stated it is pennissiblc for the Council to add conditions as they see fit. Councilmember Rem stated the applicant should be present to address the conditions, Mayor Probst agreed that would be fair. Cow1Cilmember Rem stated the addition is proposed over existing and visible foundations, which is more applicable than an addition proposed where there has been nothing in the past, Mayor Probst stated this is an historic house in the city which creates some additional interest in the case, . Councilmember Grant asked where additional screening would be recommended, Mayor Probst stated the garages behind the home tend to be visible from the roadway, Councilmember Grant ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - June 26, 2000 6 . stated that a request for additional screening at the rear of the property would be asking the applicant to make an improvement which is nowhere near the physical proximity of what he is requesting, at the front of the house, Mayor Probst stated he is suggesting the possibility of adding some landscaping on site, and having the applicant look at strategic solutions, Councilmember Grant asked whether this would be a condition for approval. Mayor Probst stated that is a possibility, He reiterated that it would be appropriate to hold the issue over and have staff convey the Council's sentiments to Mr. Mertensotto for future discussion, MOTION: Councilmember Aplikowski moved and Councilmember Rem seconded a motion to table Planning Case #00-14, Variance (Corner Side Yard Setback), Chuck Mertensotto, 3491 Lake Johanna Boulevard, pending further discussion between City staff and applicant, The motion carried unanimously (5-0), B.

Mr, Lynch stated that a 12" watcrmain from Hamline Avenue to the City Hall was planned, and the City of Shoreview is not interested in sharing the cost. He added that provision for a left- hand turn off Highway 96 into the City Hall should be reviewed, He noted the total approximate cost for these alternates is $73 ,000, Mr. Lynch stated that the Cow1Cil should discuss whether or not to award bids, He noted that an apparent low bidder had been identified, Mr. Lynch stated that the audio visual component for Council chambers should be reviewed, He added that a budget proposal had been received from Electronic Interiors which reflects changes already discussed as well as reuse of the City's current system, He noted the revised budget is $165,125, and the Council had received a breakdown of items covered under this budget, Mr. Lynch stated the City Attorney expressed concern that a bid should not be awarded as the City has not received fee title for the property, He added that ifthe fee title is not obtained before the contract date, additional costs might be incurred if a bid is awarded, He recommended that the Council consider action with regard to the alternates in question, including the audio/visual budget, but not award the bid until the property fee title is received, . Mayor Probst stated he was unable to attend the Council's last worksession, but expressed his support of the overall project. He suggested the Council take action on the alternates and budget proposal from Electronic Interiors, but not take action on bids per staffrecommendation, ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - June 26, 2000 7 . Mayor Probst stated that he and Mr. Lynch have made numerous attempts over the past weeks to expedite the fee title process, He added that there has been a desire expressed to help the City find a way to gain right of entry and begin construction while the paperwork is being completed, He noted that he and Mr. Lynch are committed to continuing those conversations, Mayor Probst stated that the base contract price is good until 90 days trom the date of bid, He stated he hopes the process will not take that long, but suggested that the Council should follow legal counsel and not proceed with awarding bids, Councilmember Larson asked whether the City did not accept the bid during the previous bid process, Mayor Probst stated the City had been under the impression that the transfer would happen, and the contractor extended the bid an additional 30-60 days beyond the original requirement, He added that when the timeline ran out, the City rejected the bids, Mayor Probst stated the Council could take action on alternates so the contractor is aware for planning purposes. He added the Council could act on the Electronic Interiors proposal, Councilmember Aplikowski stated that Mr. Lynch's memo of June 22 regarding the City Hall Construction Bids states that the proposed watermain is twelve inches. when in fact it is eight inches, She requested clarification, Mr. Lynch stated that on page three ofthe memo, in the last paragraph in the section pertaining to the watcrmain, he attempted to reflect the Council's . discussion to authorize installation of an eight inch watermain, Mayor Probst stated that if the proposed project budget were adopted, the Council would do so without awarding the contract, Mr. Lynch stated that the proposed contract includes a deduction for masonry but does not reflect the discussion, Council member Aplikowski requested that the Electronic Interiors proposal be discussed before an action was taken by the Council.

Mr. Lynch stated the full system is proposed, which includes rear projection, lobby television and sound system, various monitors including presentation table monitor, secondary portable control panel at staff table, and recording equipment inside the production room, Councilmember Larson asked for cIarilication with regard to Electronic Interior's consulting fees. Mr. Lynch stated they have been paid $1,800 to date, and their fee is a fixed price of approximately $30,000, He addcd this is a cost in addition to the budget proposal. . Councilmember Larson stated he has not been supportive of spending this amount of money in the past, but he supports the proposed budget from Electronic Interiors, . . . ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - June 26, 2000 8 Councilmember Grant asked whether funding for the audio/visual component will be provided by the cable service franchise fee fund. Mr. Lynch confirmed this, Councilmember Aplikowski stated she would hesitate before spending if money for this project is not allocated from such a fund, She added that the City's residents deserve the best technology which has not been provided lately and previously, Councilmember Rem stated the budget proposal does not even include the best technology, but funds have not been spent on communications for several years, She added, in her opinion, it is the least the City should be doing, Councilmember Aplikowski asked whether the proposed system will be sufficient for the future of the facility, Councilmember Grant stated a minimum amount of necessary funding was maintained to keep the system modular so future upgrades would be possible, Mayor Probst stated it will be a great system and far above what is currently in place, Councilmember Rem expressed concern that the amount of money proposed for the City Hall project is excessive in comparison with other things which the City needs, such as a new public works facility, Mayor Probst stated that it was originally believed, when the efforts for a new City Hall facility began, that the project could be completed for much less money than is currently under discussion, He added that the construction industry has changed considerably, and short of redesigning the building and reducing the plans, there is little that can be done about the cost, He expressed his belief that it is a good value for the building being proposed, and it is a 50-year decision for the City, Mayor Probst stated that some residents had expressed concerns that the City should continue to lease a facility, He added it could quickly be demonstrated that this would not be cost effective, Mayor Probst stated that a City Hall facility is important as it provides a community with a sense of place and a notion oflocal government. He added he is a strong advocate of the project, and he will do everything in his power to ensure that construction proceeds in a timely manner. Councilmember Aplikowski stated, in her opinion, a smaller building could be constructed for less money, She added, however, the Council should do its best to ensure that the project is completed, and hopefully the fee title will come through soon, She noted the community's enthusiasm will lessen as the project lengthens, Councilmember Grant asked whether a financial analysis had been completed on the project. Mayor Probst stated that a formal cost evaluation had not been completed as the City has been in a cash position to pay for the building, Couneilmember Larson expressed his support ofthe City Hall project, adding it will be a nice quality building which will be around for 50 years. He added that residents will take pride in the . . . ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - June 26, 2000 9 building, He noted the City has been extremely conservative with money management over the years, adding it is time to spend some money, Councilmember Larson stated the facility looks to the future ofthe City and its development, which is reflected in its beautiful location on Arsenal property, Councilmember Grant stated the facility is modcst and will be a long-term investment of which residents can be proud, I-Ie added, in his opinion, it has been designed appropriately, Councilmember Aplikowski stated the City has been attempting to begin construction for 3 years, and expressed hope that the project will begin soon, Mayor Probst stated the project has been on-going for almost] 0 years on different levels of interest. Mr. Lynch advised that approval for tile Electric Interiors alternates shonld be given separately to avoid the appearance that the bid has been awarded, Mayor Probst expressed disagreement, stating the revised budget should be discussed rather than identifying specific acceptance of alternates, He added this would allow staff to give the contractor an idea of the direction the Council is taking, Mr. Lynch expressed concern that this might be misconstrued by the contractor or their legal representatives, He stated the Electronic Interiors alternates could be included in the approval, but would only be reflected in the total. Mayor Probst stated he would wish that the Council's intention be indicated at the time of the award, and the contractor be allowed to proceed with alternates, Mr. Lynch expressed agreement. MOTION: Councilmember Larson moved and Councilmember Aplikowski seconded a motion to approve the following alternates to the City Hall construction bid, representing a total project cost of $3,319,625 which does not include Alternate No, I and does not reflect awarding of bid for construction of City Hall: Alternate B - Construction of a Left Hand Turn Lane off Highway 96 (in the amount of $16,000) Alternates No, 2 and 3 - Variations of Window Styles for the Second Floor (at a cost of$16,000 and $25,000 respectively) Alternate A - Installation of an Eight Inch (8") Watermain trom Hamline Avenue to City Hall (In the amount of$16,000) Altcrnate No, 1 - Allowing for stone masonry rather than brick Voting on the motion: Probst, Aplikowski, Grant and Larson voted aye, Rem voted nay (4-1), . . .
