Fourth Fire Station
At the meeting on August 23, the consensus was that in order to serve the
southern area of both cities, it would be desirable to locate a station on or
near Lexington Avenue between 694 and County Road E. Lists of potential sites
for a fourth station in Shoreview or Arden Hills were reviewed.
After discussion, Gary Dickson and Charlotte McNiesh were requested to secure
preliminary information on availability and land costs for two potential sites
in Shoreview and two sites in Arden Hills.
If Shoreview and Arden Hills pursue a joint venture for the fourth station, a
Joint Powers Agreement will be required, a draft of which should be prepared by
Shoreview Attorney Filla and Arden Hills Attorney Lynden.
It was stated that it would be desirable to have the station operable by
mid-1987.
Mayor Woodburn expressed concern about how much the Village can afford to pay
and felt that the needs and levels of service desired for Arden Hills may not
have been studied sufficiently. He noted that LJVFD is planning to expand
Station #1; Consultant Quirk has recommended that a station, more centrally
located in Arden Hills, is needed to improve response time.
Councilmember McGraw said Shoreview knows what level of service it wants, and
will build the fourth station in Shoreview by itself, at a different location,
if Arden Hills doesn't want to participate.
Councilmember Hicks requested that Planner Miller check availability of land in
Arden Hills, in the central area recommended by Consultant Quirk.
In further discussion, it was noted that all three cities need ladder service,
that Station No. 4 would not need training facilities, that if there is a joint
venture, bills would be processed in the city where the station is located.

Parkway Concept for STH 96
Mayor Wedell suggested that since STH 96 links three regional parks, the cities
of White Bear, North Oaks, Shoreview, Arden Hills, Vadnais Heights and New
Brighton should explore the possibility of a parkway concept.

The next meeting will be Saturday, September 27, 8:30 a.m. at Arden Hills.
