I I Ie I I I I I I I- I I I I I I I Ie I ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JUNE 24. 1996 3 PUBLIC COMMENTS Mayor Probst invited the audience to address the Council on any issue not already on the agenda. Walter Bieger, 1689 West County Road F, addressed the Council regarding their intention to rename West County Road F since it is no longer a County roadway_ He reviewed the time consuming and costly efforts involved for residents and businesses when their address is changed and requested that the Council consider a name which is not very different, such as West Country Road or West Country Road F. Mr. Bieger submitted results ofa survey he conducted of West County Road F residents which indicated six support a name change to West Country Road F, six support West Country Road (without F) and five support leaving the name as it is. Mayor Probst explained the Council had discussed this issue at a worksession and he supports a name change since West County Road F is no longer a County road and it is appropriate to take some ownership of the street as a City. He reviewed the previous attempts to survey residents and reach a consensus on a new name. Ms. Billie Schacht, 1683 West County Road F, noted these same residents have already had their address changed three times due to a change in the community name. She stated that she appreciates consideration of the name "Farrell Drive" since Mr. Farrell was the previous owner of the land in this area; however, it would be better for residents if the name is something closer to the current name. Dorothy Raetz, 1703 West County Road F, stated that while she does not like the current name, she supports leaving it as is or to make only a minor change. Tom Goserud, Arden Hills Nursery, 4340 and 4350 Hamline Avenue, explained that due to the bridge closing he would like to request permission to erect signs regarding his business at four intersections. He advised he has discussed this with staff, but they only indicated permission for a sign at Hamline Avenue and Highway 96, from Thursday p.m. through Monday a.m.. Mr. Goserud requested Council's consideration of his sign request until the bridge reopens. Mayor Prohst suggest this be discussed further as first item under Unfinished and New Business. There were no other public comments at this time. I . .e . . . . . . I. I . . . . . . .e I ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JUNE 24. 1996 4 UNFINISHED AND NEW BUSINESS AA. Directional Signs for Home Businesses During Bridge Closing Kevin Ringwald, Community Development Director, explained staff provided direction to Mr. Goserud that a sign along Hamline Avenue similar to a garage sale sign would be acceptable during the road construction. However, Mr. Goserud's signs remained up longer and in additional locations. He explained that Mr. Goserud's SUP and the Sign Code do not permit off- premise signs. He further explained that the bridge will be reopened prior to the City's ability to act on a formal appeal to the Code action, should Mr. Goserud make such application. Mayor Probst explained one of the issues of concern is that Mr. Goserud operates a home occupation and the nature of his sign request would "stretch" the SUP. He expressed concern with how broadly the City should consider distribution of signs since a home occupancy business is involved. Also, the City may receive similar requests from other home occupation businesses. Mayor Probst pointed out that home occupations are to be limited activity that do not require the type of signs being requested by Mr. Goserud. He indicated he is not interested in extending sign permission much further than at Hamline A venue and Highway 96_ Mr. Goserud stated that while he understands these concerns, he believes extenuating circumstances exist since the road is closed. Councilmember Hicks inquired regarding the specific sign size and locations being requested. Mr. Goserud stated currently he only has signs in his yard but is requesting permission to erect similar signs (2' x 4') at the intersections of Hamline Avenue and Highway 96, Lexington Avenue and Highway 96, Lexington Avenue and County Road F, and Hamline Avenue and County Road F. He explained he is currently having a plant clearance so he would like to add that notation and add 40% offto tlle signs. Mr. Goserud explained the short time available to sell plantings and his desire to capture the customer's attention. Councilmember Malone concurred it would be a "stretch" to consider this number of intersections and noted that Mr. Goserud already has four signs in his yard when only one is permitted. He asked Mr. Goserud if he would abide by the limit established by the Council and not extend the number beyond that approval. Mr. Goserud answered affirmatively. Councilmember Malone noted there are other home occupation that may make a similar request and not abiding by the limit involves an enforcement problem. He indicated support to consider several signs if the duration is very limited, for the next week or two, until the bridges open. Councilmember Aplikowski stated she appreciates the value of signs but concurs with Councilmember Malone that there is a tendency to erect additional signs in other locations. She stated she would support the request if only for a limited time. I I Ie I I I I I I I. I I I I I I I Ie I ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JUNE 24. 1996 5 Councilmember Hicks indicated support as long as the signs are removed immediately when the bridge is reopened_ Mayor Probst advised that the Council's consensus is to allow the signs to remain in place until the bridge reopens but then they must be removed. Brian Fritsinger, City Administrator, advised the City will probably receive a similar request from another home occupation. Council consensus was reached that a similar request would be approved under the same restrictions. A. Extension of OneComm Agreement Mr. Ringwald advised the site plan approval was previously extended for six months and will expire on June 30, 1996. OneComm has proposed to place transmission antennas at the Red Fox Road watertower but due to nationwide buildout demands, is requesting another extension to December 31, 1996. Mr. Ringwald noted that OneComm has offered to commence rent payments on July I, 1996 at $750 ($862 for the second five years) per month for the first five years. Mr. Ringwald advised staff recommends approval of Planning Case 95-01 to extend site plan approval until December 31, 1996, subject to the original conditions and with payment of rent commencing on July 1, 1996. Mayor Probst asked if the previously discussed contract was for five years. Mr. Ringwald answered affirmatively. Councilmember Malone asked if this organization has changed hands since the original application was negotiated. Bill Buell, representing OneComm, advised that C-Call Corporation is the licensee dba as OneComm. He further explained that C-Call merged with NexT ell, making it a nation-wide company. Councilmember Malone reviewed issues previously discussed to minimize visual impact and asked if OneComm is proposing the same. Mr. Buell answered affirmatively. MOTION: Hicks moved and Malone seconded a motion that approval of Planning Case #95-01 be extended until December 31,1996, subject to the original conditions of approval and payment of rent commencing on July 1, 1996. The motion carried unanimously (4-0). . . .e . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . .e . ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JUNE 24.1996 6 B. Resolution #96-42, Approving Local Performance Aid Mr. Fritsinger explained that during the 1996 Legislative Session, the State adopted a law which provides for a new state aid for all cities beginning in calendar year 1997. The proposed resolution states the City is in the process of developing a system of performance measures acceptable by the State of Minnesota under this new law. It will also allow the City to qualify for LPA should it be available in 1997. Currently, the Arden Hills' aid is estimated at approximately $10,577. Mayor Probst questioned the deadline for submission of the performance standards. Mr. Fritsinger advised there is currently no deadline date but he assumes it will be around July 1, 1997. Councilmember Hicks asked if the $10,000 of aid is an annual payment. Mr. Fritsinger answered affirmatively. Councilmember Hicks questioned the amount of staff time involved to create performance standards. Mr. Fritsinger stated he has not prepared a calculation but it may not be very time consuming since, typically, the work is tied with the budget process where goals are identified. Councilmember Hicks stated he generally supports this recommendation as long as staff time involvement does not exceed the benefit. Councilmember Aplikowski concurred and questioned the value if the data must be changed every two years. Mr. Fritsinger explained that this new aid may be an attempt by the State of Minnesota to phase out HACA and LGA over time. Councilmember Malone stated the City already has performance measures and abides by a budget to operate in a healthy manner. He expressed concern with the Legislature's implication that Arden Hills does not already have these "performance measures" but noted it appears these measures must be established to apply for the $10,000 aid. Mayor Probst concurred and inquired whether the third "WHEREAS" of the proposed resolution should be removed. Instead, Councilmember Malone suggested the second "WHEREAS" be revised to state: "WHEREAS, in order to qualify for this new aid, the City must develop a system of performance measures in compliancc with the Law of 1996. Chapter 471. Article 3. Section 48." He noted this removes the inference that Arden Hills does not already have established performance standards. Council agreed. MOTION: Malone moved and Hicks seconded a motion to adopt Resolution #96-42, Approving the Local Performance Aid, as amended. The motion carried unanimously (4-0). . . .e . . . . . . .. . . . I . . . .e . ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JUNE 24. 1996 7 C. Resolution #96-26, Approving Metropolitan Livable Communities Act Action Plan for 1996 Mr. Ringwald explained the City is required, under the Metropolitan Liveable Communities Act, to prepare an action plan to met the established housing goals which were negotiated in 1995 with the Metropolitan Council. Staff continues to support the premise that Arden Hills' goals and action plan should be directly linked to the future redevelopment ofTCAAP. Councilmember Aplikowski questioned the impact without TCAAP. Mr. Ringwald explained it would be more dit1icult and staff would have to determine how affordable housing goals can be met on a lot-by-lot basis. He suggested this is why the Met Council endorsed the use of TCAAP, to assure meaningful implementation of the Liveable Communities Act. Mayor Probst noted that because ofTCAAP, under the current definition, Arden Hills is classified as a "developing community". Mr. Ringwald stated this is correct. Councilmember Aplikowski asserted that this is a "heavy handed" requirement and in theory she is opposed but in reality she will support it. MOTION: Malone moved and Hicks seconded a motion to adopt Resolution #96-26, Approving the Metropolitan Livable Communities Act Action Plan for 1996. The motion carried unanimously (4-0). D. Resolution #96-06, Tousley Front Yard Variance, 3248 Sandeen Road Mr. Ringwald explained that Herb Tousley of 3248 Sandeen Road is requesting a front and side yard variance. The front yard setback being requested is 35 feet, when 40 feet is required and the side yard setback being requested varies from approximately 2.7 feet to 4 feet, when 5 feet is required_ It was noted the Planning Commission unanimously recommends approval of the variance requests with the following conditions: 1. If the building is damaged or destroyed by any cause in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the fair market value of said building, as determined by the building inspector, then the side yard (north property line) setback variance as explicitly shown would become null and void, and 2. City Council consideration of the proposed site plan, including the exterior elevations of the proposed addition. . . .e . . I I I . .. I I . . I . I .e . ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JUNE 24_ 1996 8 Mayor Probst inquired whether a precedent has been established on Sandeen Road. Mr. Ringwald confirmed the precedent and reviewed the two previously approved variance requests and side yard setback on Ridgewood Court which extended a non-conforming wall. Councilmember Malone noted the height was of concern and questioned how much higher the addition will be_ Mr. Ringwald indicated it is not meaningfully higher. Herb Tousley, applicant, stated he is aware of the conditions for approval and has nothing to add to staffs report. Councilmember Malone commented on the loss of the side yard variance ifthe building is damaged or destroyed in excess of 50%. He explained if this were to happen, the applicant would need to rebuild the house. Mr. Tousley stated he is aware of this condition. Councilmember Aplikowski asked if there will be living area above the garage. Mr. Tousley stated there is living area over the existing garage and this area will be extended over the addition. Councilmember Hicks noted that on the drawing you cannot determine how the existing garage roofline will change. He noted the back porch corner area appears to be enclosed. Mr. Tousley advised it is a screen porch and will remain as it is. Mr. Ringwald used an overhead to diagram the grade change of the front and rear elevations. MOTION: I-licks moved and Aplikowski seconded a motion to approve Planning Case #96-06, front and side yard variances for Herb Tousley, 3248 Sandeen Road, based on the conditions outlined by the Planning Commission. The motion carried unanimously (4-0). E. Resolution #96-07, Holiday Inn Site Plan Review, 1201 West County Road E Mr. Ringwald explained that Holiday Inn is requesting approval of a modification to their Site Plan at 1201 West County Road E to allow for the placement of an air conditioning system on the ground adjacent to the rear of the building. He advised the Planning Commission unanimously recommends approval of the site plan modification wth the following conditions: 1. Provision of a 24-foot wide drive aisle adjacent to the new air conditioning system; 2. Provision of curbing adjacent to the new air conditioning system (north and east sides), as shown on the applicant's plan; 3. Provision of screening material on the fence, as described in the applicant's request; 4. Relocation of the existing plant materials to the area adjacent to the outside of the fence; and . I .e I . . . . . I. . . . . . . I .. . ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JUNE 24.1996 9 5. Provision of yellow diagonal striping, north of the curbing on the north side of the new air conditioning system. Tom Heardon, construction manager for Holiday Inn, stated he is aware of the conditions being recommended for approval. MOTION: Malone moved and Hicks seconded a motion to approve Planning Case #96-07, modification to Site Plan (Planning Case 95-6) for Holiday Inn, 1201 West County Road E, based on the conditions outlined by the Planning Commission. The motion carried unanimously (4-0). F. Resolution #96-43, Approving Cooperative Trails Grant Cindy Walsh, Parks & Recreation Director, announced the City has been awarded a grant in the amount of $45, 191.50 from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to partially fund the trail development from Highway 96 south to Briarknoll Drive and west to North Snelling A venue. She explained the proposed resolution is related to the discussion held several months ago in regard to the 1996 trail project and would allow awarding the bid to the low bidder, Thor Construction, Inc. with alternatives A and B to be added. Ms. Walsh explained ifthe Council decides to accept the grant, trail construction could occur after the grant contract is finalized, which could be by July 8, 1996. It was noted that the grant does specify that the entire project can be completed during a two-year time frame; however, funds have to be expended and construction must be completed by November I, 1997. Councilmember Malone inquired if staff anticipates any right-of-way problems. Ms. Walsh advised staff has been in contact with the townhouse association and it appears there will be no problem but there will need to be some cooperation in realigning their irrigation system which is less cost restrictive than to bridge that segment on the existing easement. Mayor Probst inquired regarding the possibility of considering a change order on this year's contract to include the remaining segment in an attempt to obtain a better bid. Ms. Walsh stated she could ask Thor Construction for an estimate on the remaining segment. Mayor Probst noted there may be a price advantage to adding it and suggested staff investigate that option. He noted if the cost for the remaining segment is too high, it can be turned down. Ms. Walsh advised that work cmmot resume until the grant is finalized and the contract is signed by the City, which she estimated would be mid-July. She informed that Thor Construction has been very cooperative and indicated they will allow their prices to mid-July. Mayor Probst suggested the discussion to add the remaining segment occur prior to signing the contract. . . .e . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . .e . ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JUNE 24.1996 10 Mayor Probst noted it is the consensus of the Council to direct staff to pursue that option for consideration at the July 8, 1996 Council meeting. MOTION: Hicks moved and Aplikowski seconded a motion to adopt Resolution #96-43, Accepting the Grant from the Minnesota DNR Cooperative Trails Grant Program. The motion carried unanimously (4-0). G. RFQ for Architectural Services Mr. Fritsinger recommended the Council direct staff to proceed with the preparation of an RFQ for architectural services for a new City Hall. He noted this topic has been an on-going discussion item for several years and recently discussed at a worksession. Mayor Probst encouraged restrictions on the length of what is submitted by interested parties. MOTION: Malone moved and Aplikowski seconded a motion to direct staffto proceed with the preparation and solicitation of an RFQ for architectural services for design of a new City Hall. Councilmember Aplikowski inquired regarding the status of the previous plans. Mr. Fritsinger advised they will be used as a starting point and be the basis for preparation of the RFQ. The motion carried unanimously (4-0). H. Resolution #96-45 Authorizing Condemnation of Street, Utility and Drainage Easements in Connection with Oak Avenue Reconstruction Mr. Filla, City Attorney, explained that in order to reconstruct Oak Avenue, it may be necessary to acquire easements over property owned by Marjorie Asbbach and Richard and Janet Shepley. He further eXplained that he is working with the City Engineer to negotiate with these residents to acquire the necessary easements but, as yet, negotiations have been unsuccessful. Therefore, he recommends the Council authorize commencement of condemnation proceedings to acquire these needed easements over the Ashbach and Shepley properties to avoid unreasonable delay in the reconstruction of Oak A venue in the event negotiations remain unsuccessful. . . .- . . . . . . I. I . . . . . . .e I ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JUNE 24. 1996 11 Mr. Filla reviewed the alignment of the existing Oak Avenue right-of-way and noted the "knob" which juts to the east and the roadway section which falls outside of the City's right-of-way. He then reviewed the location of right-of-way which needs to be acquired from Ashbach and Shepley (approximately 15 feet). Mr. Filla reported that after the Council approved the reconstruction of Oak A venue, the engineers met with neighbors to work out adjustments, prepared changes to the easements, and attempted to negotiate acquisition of right-of-way but that effort was not successful. He reported that the attorney representing Mr. Shepley contacted him and it now appears the alignment can be shifted slightly so only nine feet of right-of-way needs to be acquired rather than 15 feet, which will save landscaping and existing trees. Mr. Filla suggested the roadway follow the old right-of-way in that area to save the existing trees. Also, the property owner asked the City to stake the proposed and existing alignments. This was done on Friday morning, the property owner looked at the stakes on Friday and concluded the roadway is four to six feet closer on the east side and four feet closer on the north side than he expected. Mr. Filla explained it is not known whether the property owner is reading the stakes correctly, and he is currently out of town and unable to attend the meeting tonight. Since the Council does not meet again until July 8th, Mr. Filla recommended they consider authorizing condemnation proceedings to commence just in case it is needed. Mr. Filla eXplained the change being requested by the property owner and advised that the City Administrator and City Engineer will meet with the property owner on the site to see what can be worked out. Mr. Filla advised staff does not anticipate problems with the Ashbach property_ It was noted the City has been using that area of the Shepley property for many years without a dedicated right-ot:way_ Mayor Probst stated his interest to minimize the impact and that it appears the only area of concern is the triangular piece. He stated support to leave the property line and trees undisturbed, if possible. Mr. Filla reviewed the stated objections of the property owner regarding contact with his trees and noted the room for movement with the alignment of the roadway. He advised it is the City's intention to accommodate the property owner's desire to leave the trees undisturbed. Mayor Probst clarified the proposed resolution will authorize condemnation proceedings to commence but it is the City's intent to negotiate a settlement without the use of condemnation, if possible. Councilmember Hicks inquired regarding a possible grandfather clause which would provide the City with the right to continue use of this alignment without acquiring an easement. Mr. Filla explained the City may be able to continue using that area as they have for the past 30 years, but the City still needs to document the right-of-way_ Secondly, since that area has been City maintained for all those years and used prior to Shepley's ownership, the City may not have to compensate the property owner. Mr. Filla noted there is also a need for a snow storage area. . . .- . I . . . . I. I . . . I I I .e I ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JUNE 24. 1996 12 Councilmember Hicks inquired regarding how close the roadway can be constructed to the right- of-way without causing landscape or tree damage. Mr. Filla estimated nine feet. Councilmember Hicks stated he thinks the City can realign the roadway to eliminate the need to purchase additional easements. Mr. Filla reiterated there is a need for snow storage. Mayor Probst stated the City is committed to relocating the roadway to correct the alignment but he does not want to delay construction of the project. He stated he understands construction is currently being held up and asked if the project can proceed if the City has a prescriptive easement. Mr. Filla explained since it is a prescriptive easement, it would prevent anyone from claiming trespass but all activity would have to remain within the improved road surface area (equipment, etc.). Mayor Probst supported remaining within the existing right-of-way until the north/south section of roadway at Ashbach's property and, if possible, not change the right-of-way. Councilmember Hicks agreed that would be preferable even if the roadway is not aligned in the center of the right-of-way. Mr. Filla advised that as a result of this process, it has been discovered that the garage portion is about 17 feet from the right-of-way and about 30 feet from the improved road surface, which does not meet current setback requirement. Therefore, the owner is requesting approval of a variance to legitimize the location of the garage. Mr. Filla stated he would make that recommendation to the Council since the need for this particular variance occurred as a result of either a Code amendment or misalignment of the roadway. Mayor Probst inquired how this property could be successfully sold without a title problem appearing. Mr. Filla explained this easement situation may not result in an impact to the salability of the property. Mr. Fritsinger noted the property stakes which the property owner was concerned with. Mr. Filla suggested that if there is only a two foot concern, that the right-of.-way be reduced by two feet. Council concurred. MOTION: Malone moved and Hicks seconded to adopt Resolution #96-45 Authorizing Condemnation of Street, Utility, and Drainage Easements in Connection with Oak Avenue Reconstruction. The motion carried unanimously (4-0). I I I- I I I I I I I. I I I I . . . .e . ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JUNE 24.1996 13 ADMINISTRATOR COMMENTS Mr. Fritsinger informed the Council that a meeting has been scheduled on June 27, 1996, regarding the proposed quad ice arena in Blaine. He requested the Council's input and comments regarding this proposal prior to that meeting date. Mayor Probst suggested the area of the proforma needs to be more exact and fine-tuned. Cow1Cilmember Malone commented on the large downpayment and upfront cash contributions being expected and explained that because of the per ice sheet and operating costs, there are insufficient funds to cover the debt service. Mr. Fritsinger explained the down payment was not discussed because it is anticipated there will be a subagreement with local hockey associations to contribute those funds. Councilmember Malone stated he does not support the quad arena proposal at this time. COUNCIL COMMENTS Councilmember Malone updated the Council regarding AMM's position statement on development beyond the MUSA line. Mayor Probst commented on a Fence Ordinance difficulty which needs to be resolved regarding the 30% opening for air flow issue. He stated this issue warrants some discussion regarding the intended purpose and how it can be measured. Mayor Probst announced he is not able to attend the Land 0' Lakes 75th Anniversary Celebration on July 11, 1996, but Councilmember Aplikowski has agreed to attend and will speak on the City's behalf. Mayor Probst advised that Congressmen Vento is holding several town meetings and TCAAP may be discussed. Mayor Probst reported he received information from the Minnesota Department of Health regarding Special Well Construction areas which encompasses a portion of Arden Hills. Mayor Probst announced that AMM has scheduled a breakfast meeting on July 10, 1996. He stated he is unable to attend and encouraged anyone else who is interested to attend. . . .e . . . . . . .. . . . . . I . .e .
