The general I networking with city officials provided more information than the sessions. I I've attended several meetings on the topic of Local Performance Measures, and discussed this item at the June Worksession, The City Council will be asked to approve the application for Local Performance Aid (LPA) at its June 30 meeting. I b.

The City completed modifications to the Tax Increment Financing (TIF) I Districts to prepare for the issuance of bonds. I Staff has been negotiating several Purchase and Developer's Agreements with Welsh and land owners, The Phase II planning application and EA W .- have been submitted by Welsh for City review. 2.

This request is for pre-design funds in the amount of$300,000 to be used towards the I joint public works facility. e. FinancelBudget I I have been working with the Department Heads on the preparation of the 1998 - 2002 Capital Improvement Plan and 1998 Budget documents. The Council has reviewed some of the preliminary information with additional discussions planned I for the July Worksession, Staff has had meetings with Ehlers & Associates, and several bond rating I agencies, as the City prepares to seek it's first bond rating in several years. We have also begun some preliminary discussions on how to publicly address the I impact oflevy limits and ramifications to Arden Hills residents of the Property Tax Bill adopted this past legislative session.

I b, Public Works The 1997 Street Improvement Project has been moving along fairly quickly. It's I anticipated that the asphalt will be placed on all streets in the next few days, Staff has continued to meet with several residents along Colleen Avenue who have expressed concerns about the project. I believe that Mr, Stafford has done a Ie fine job of addressing their concerns. After discussing the consulting engineering services area, the City Council had I previously requested consideration ofa Request for Proposals (RFP) for these services. The merger between MSA and Howard R. Green provides an opportunity for the City to carefully consider its service provider. Staff has I prepared an RFP and will provide it to the City Council for review on July 14, 1997. I i. TCAAP I had submitted a formal request to the Army for the consideration of the I abandonment of wells along Old Highway #10. The Army responded that, while this area is within the boundaries to qualify for abandonment, the homes along Old Highway # 1 0 do not have contamination within their existing wells. As a I result, the Army did not respond positively to my request. j.

I -- .- - , I CITY OF ARDEN HILLS ft MEMORANDUM DATE: June 30,1997 I TO: Mayor and City Council I FROM: Kevin Ringwald, Community Development Directo~ I SUBJECT: Resolution No. 97-32, CPI Guidant Request I The City Council is requested to approve Resolution No. 97- 32 (Exhibit A). Resolution No. 97- 32 authorizes the City to make an application (phase II) to the Minnesota Department of Trade and Economic Development (DIED) for a loan and/or forgivable loan in the amount of $200,000 I to $300,000 to facilitate the expansion of the research and development facilities at ePI Guidant. Backfround I CPI is a world leader in the medical device industry, specifically cardiac rhythm management. Exciting new therapies are now being researched by CPI scientists in the application of atrial Ie defibrillation and congestive heart failures, The development of new technologies and associated devices will enhance the market penetration into previous drug only therapies and thereby significantly grow the entire market for pacing devices. Being a leader in the field, CPl will gain I market share and increase production volume to several times the current output, This directly translates into more immediate headcount in the research and development located in Building E and, within a shon development cycle, more production personnel with associated support staff, I It is currently estimated, by CPI, that the project will cost approximately $4,000,000 through calendar year 1998. The estimated costs include construction ($3,200,000) and I equipment/furnishings ($800,000). It is currently estimated. by CPI, that the project will cause the hiring of75 employees over the next two calendar years. Of the 75 jobs to be created, approximately 50 will be technical and 25 will be administrative. The average pay range for I these jobs, without benefits, will range from $11.50 per hour to $32.00 per hour. Budl!et Impact I The Staffis attempting to structure this deal such that the City will receive at least $100,000,00 for its efforts. The $100,000,00 would be earmarked, by DIED, for facilitating business , opponunities within the City.

There were no public comments, I UNFINISHED AND NEW BUSINESS I A. Resolution #97-13, Approving an Amendment to the Master Agreement with the Minnesota Amateur Sports Commission for the Construction and Operation of a I Four-Sheet Ice Arena Brian Fritsinger, City Administrator, stated the Minnesota Amateur Sports Commission (MASC) I was requesting several amendments to the Master Agreement in order to conform to the Anoka County Financing Agreement. The City originally approved the Master Agreement for the four- I sheet ice arena at its January 27,1997 meeting, Mr, Fritsinger stated that all of the conditions of this approval had been met. Over the past several months, MASC,community representatives and other interested parties have been working on the preparation of a facility design and the eI issuance of bonds for the project. The bonds have been issued with a closing date scheduled for June 19, 1997. it is necessary for all parties to the Master Agreement to execute an amendment with the following provisions to conform to the Anoka County Financing Agreement: I A. Include concession and sponsorship revenues in the annual budget as per financing agreement; I B. Add language to preserve the tax-exempt status of the Bonds; C. ehange in capital improvement reserve, I The final bond amount of $8,440,000 is an increase of the original estimate of $7,400,000, but does not exceed the approved limit of$9,000,000 stated in the Master Agreement. The main I reason for the increased costs is the addition of a larger concession area than was originally planned. Paul Erickson, Director ofMASC, came forward to address the Council and answer questions. I He stated the language of provision A is not inconsistent with the earlier language, and the City's financial obligations have not changed. The City's additional debt service will now be tied to the I revenue stream produced by the upgraded concession area. In discussing provision C, Mr. Erickson stated the deposits would be used for the capital fund. I .. I I' DRAFT AIWEN HII.I.s CITY COT..1'NCJL - JUNE 9. 1997 3 I 1_ Mayor Probst requested clarification that provision C would reduce the capital funding in the first three years of operation, and it would become fully effective the fourth year. Mr, Fritsinger stated that was the case. I Mayor Probst inquired if the City would incur costs if the maximum rentable hours were not met. Mr. Erickson stated that while the estimates of rentable hours were on target, the estimated I revenues from food concessions were lower than projected. Mr, Erickson further stated that after additional research, it was decided to increase the size and scope of the concessions, as the preliminary space was found to be too small. Mr. Erickson clarified that this action would not I increase the City's debt service, but the concessions would earn extra revenue for the project. Mayor Probst inquired if the concession area was partitioned or open space. Mr. Erickson I replied it was open, however there may be a portion that has the ability to be partitioned for meetings, banquets, etc. I Councilmernber Malone stated he was very concerned with the extra funds being requested this soon after the Master Agreement being signed, He inquired if the City Administrator had been a pany to the bond issuance language. Mr, Fritsinger indicated he had been. Councilmember I Malone stated he would abstain from voting on this issue. Councilmember Hicks stated he also had concerns regarding the additional funds being Ie requested. He stated this amount was very close to the cap of $9,000,000 and inquired if the plans were far enough along that the estimated amounts would be close to the actual amounts. I Mr. Erickson stated two construction companies had provided estimates on this project, and both agree with the stated figures, I Councilmember Hicks inquired if this project had actually been bid, or if these were estimates, Mr. Erickson stated the companies gave cost estimates, and he expects to have the actual figures in mid-July. I Councilmember Hicks stated it was his opinion at this point that the City has no choice but to approve the Amendment, as the Master Agreement had been signed. I Mayor Probst stated the additional funding for concessions appeared to be an appropriate expenditure. He noted the absence of one Council member, and stated a vote would still need to I be taken on this issue at tonight's meeting. Councilmember Hicks inquired if the other cities were expected to approve this Amendment. I Mr. Fritsinger explained that while Blaine and Coon Rapids have approved the Amendment, Arden Hills was the first Ramsey County city to review it. He further stated that while a few I cities have concerns, the majority feel it is appropriate and plan to approve it. Councilmember Malone stated that approving the Amendment because all the other cities are .. planning to wasn't necessarily a good reason. Mr. Malone expressed concern with information I --- DRAFT 'I ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JllNE 9 1997 4 I provided in a report by financial advisors, Ehlers & Associates, Inc., in which they referred to a -I lack of comparable information, Mayor Probst stated he would continue to support this proposal, and stated the City could not I have entered into a project of this scope on their own, or not even with the other four Ramsey County cities, He stated that although he was concerned with the level of risk, he would support the Amendment. Councilmember Keim observed that although the bonding amount had increased, it had not gone I above the $9,000,000 limit, which the City had already approved, She stated that MASC was I making changes in the interest of providing more revenue, and stated the City was aware of the risks when the Master Agreement was initially approved, MOTiON: Keim moved and Hicks seconded a motion to adopt Resolution #97-13, I Approving an Amendment to the Master Agreement with the Minnesota Amateur Sports Commission for the construction and operation of a four-sheet ice arena. I The motion carried 3-0-1, with Malone abstaining, Mr, Erickson stated bookings for the arena were already running much higher than previously I projected, with major events such as the World Women's Hockey Championship in 2001 already confirmed. B. Adoption of Safety ManuallPolicies .. Dwayne Stafford, Public Works Superintendent, reported that during a recent Occupational I Safety and Health Act (OSHA) inspection, it was found the City of Arden Hills' Safety Program was not in compliance with OSHA requirements. The information in the City program was only I general and not specific to the City of Arden Hills, Mr, Stafford had reviewed safety information from many sources and put together four programs to comply with OSHA requirements. These programs include A W AIR, Right-to-Know, Confined Space Entry Policy, and LockoutlTagout. I Mr, Stafford requested Council approval of the four (4) safety programs, which would then be immediately implemented, MOTiON: Malone moved and Keim seconded a motion that the City Council approve the I four safety programs as written by the Public Works Superintendent. The motion carried unanimously (4-0). I C, Purchase of a Blacktop Rollerffrailer Mr, Stafford reported to eouncil that the Public Works Department was in need of a new I blacktop roller, as the City's existing machine was 20 years old. The Public Works Department I had budgeted $24,000 for the purchase of a new blacktop roller and trailer. The Public Works Department had researched three brands of rollers, and recommended purchase of a Wacker .. I I' DRAFT ARDEN WJ,.LS CITY COUNCIL - nINE 9. 1997 5 I I- brand roller, priced at $11,444, a Redi-Haul trailer priced at $3,200, for a total of$15,595.86, including sales tax. MOTION: Hicks moved and Keirn seconded a motion to authorize purchase of the Wacker I blacktop roller and Redi-Haul trailer as specified, at a cost not to exceed $15,595,86. The motion carried unanimously (4-0), I D. Purchase ofToro Workman Ballfield Groomer I Ms. Cindy Walsh, Parks & Recreation Director, reponed to the Council that she was recommending purchase of a Toro Workman Ballfield Groomer, which provided OSHA- recommended safety equipment. This equipment had been budgeted for 1997, and at a cost of I $13,069 including sales tax, would remain under budget after trade-in allowance, MOTION: Hicks moved and Malone seconded a motion to authorize the Parks & Recreation I Director to purchase the Toro Workman Ballfield Groomer as specified, at a cost not to exceed $13,069, plus sales tax, and allowing for a trade-in allowance.

Balfanv Develonment Comnanv. 2035 Thom Drive I A. Reouest The applicant is requesting approval of a five lot detached single family preliminary and final plat (Oakridge Homes) on 4.63 acres, zoned R-2 Single and Two Family Residential .. District (Exhibit A). The request includes a variance from the required right-of way width and cul-de-sac diameter. I B. Backuound The applicant has been working on developing this parcel for residential purposes since I September of 1993. The Planing Commission recommended approval of the applicants request for preliminary plat approval on July 2,1996, The City Council approved the applicants request for preliminary plat approval on July 29,1996, subject to the following I conditions: 1. Provision of an acceptable street name for the proposed cul-de-sac; I 2. Approval of the Rice Creek Watershed District of the proposed plans; 3. Preservation of those trees shown on the Tree Preservation Plan; and 4. Payment of the appropriate park dedication fee. I Pursuant to the City Code (Subdivision Ordinance) in Section 22-4, (b), (1), the preliminary plat approval expired on Tuesday, October 29,1996 (six months), Therefore, I the applicant is required to receive preliminary plat approval again. e. Plannin, Commission Recommendation I The Planning Commission recommends approval of Planning Case 95-16, preliminary and final plat (Oakridge Homes) including the right-of-way width and cul-de-sac it diameter variance, subject to the following conditions: I -.--- , :1 1. eompliance with the approval of the Rice Creek Watershed District (permit # 96- .1 105); 2, Preservation of those trees shown on the Tree Preservation Plan (Exhibit A, page 60flO); I 3, Payment of the appropriate park dedication fee; 4, Provision of an updated abstract of title and a development contract prior to consideration of the fmal plat by the City Council. I D. Updates I The applicant has provided the Staff with the updated abstract oftitle on June 26,1997, but the Staff has not had adequate time to review the document. Also, the development contract for the final plat has not yet been finalized. Therefore, the Staff would I recommend that at this time only the preliminary plat be approved. The Staff is hopeful that the remaining item can be resolved shortly and that the fmal plat could be approved at the July 7, 1997 City Council meeting, I Case #97-09. Soecial Use Permit Amendment. Frattalone's Ace Hardware. 3527 Lexin~on Avenue I A. Request The applicant (Frattalone's Ace Hardware) is requesting approvalofa special use permit I amendment to allow for the fencing of pan of the parking lot (21 parking spaces) at Arden Plaza to allow for an outdoor garden sales area at 3527 Lexington Avenue (Exhibit -- B). B. Backl!round The current site plan for Arden Plaza is a result of the Special Use Permit (#74-36) which I was granted by the City Council on January 13, 1975 in Planning Case 74-36, The SUP provided for a 56,298 square foot shopping center (including a 4,005 square foot I mezzanine) and a 53,490 square foot office complex. The site plan provided for 407 parking spaces when 405 parking spaces were required, The outdoor garden sales has been operating without approval. In the time that it has I been operating the outdoor garden sales has not appeared to cause any operational problems with the Shopping Center or the Offices. I C. Plannine Commission Recommendation The Planning Commission approval of Planning Case 97-09, Special Use Permit fenced I outdoor garden sales, subject to the following conditions: 1. Provision of the fence (per Exhibit A pages 3 of 4 and 4 of 4) not to exceed six I feet in height and attached to the building; 2. Provision of the tent within the fenced area, not to contain any exterior signage; I 3. Provision of a revised site plan showing the fenced area with the words "proof-of- parking" labeled on it and new parking and delineation to be approved by Staff; .. I I' I. 4. Termination of this Special Use Permit and elimination of the outdoor garden sales area if the City fmds that Arden Plaza requires the additional parking spaces; 5. Repainting of the affected portion of the parking lot; I 6, Issuance of a Transient Merchants license by the City, including state licenses that may be required; and I 7. Must be an extension of activity by applicant consistent with that adjacent to the applicant's permitted principal use. I D. Updates The applicant has informed staff that the fence in question will be four (4) feet in height. Also, the Staff has counted the actual number of spaces in the parking lot, given that the I parking lot has been repainted. The parking lot currently contains 411 parking stall which is four (4) more parking stalls than was shown on the plan and is six (6) more parking stalls (405 parking spaces) than is required by the original SUP (pC 74-36). As I modified to accommodate a 60 foot by 44 foot (applicant is requesting 50 foot, but would leave drive aisle too small) the overall parking on the site would be reduced to 402 I parking stalls which is three (3) parking stalls less than what is required by the original SUP (Exhibit C).

COy C...,. ~ I FROM: Kevin Ringwald, Community Development Directo I SUBJECT: Highway 96 Task Force request for technical expertise I ReQuest The City Council is requested to authorize the acquisition of technical expenise to in the areas of signage and landscape architecture to assist the Highway 96 Task Force in its deliberations on I possible improvements to Highway 96. Discussion I As the Highway 96 Task Force has discussed possible improvements to Highway 96 the inclusion of entry way signage and landscaping has been a reoccurring theme that the Task Force believes should be included as part of the Highway 96 improvements. Given, that Highway 96 is .. currently being improved into Arden Hills (approximately to 1/3 of mile west of Lexington Avenue), The Task Force believes that there is an opportunity to construct an entry way sign I and associated landscaping at the southwest comer of Highway 96 and Lexington A venue in 1997 or 1998. I The southwest comer of Highway 96 and Lexington Avenue has an extremely generous right of way and could easily support the required vehicular sight lines and an entry way sign with associated landscaping. Rams County is willing to provide the City with any excess dirt they I may have from the project if the City should desire to place berming on this comer. Also, the TCAAP has expressed a desire to provide numerous large spruce trees (12' to 15' in height) to the City at no cost (except. the cost of transplanting). The Task Force wishes to use the I opportunities which exist on this comer to create an entry way sign and landscaping which could be used as a guide in other areas of the City (ie., southeast comer of Highway 96 and Round Lake Road, City Parks, and/or other gateway areas). The Task Force would like to keep the cost I of the entry way sign and associated landscaping under $30,000, I To these ends, the Task Force at its Wednesday, June 25,1997 meeting unanimously recommended to the City Council to acquire technical expertise in the areas of signage and landscape architecture to assist in the design of the entry way signage and landscaping at the I southwest comer of Highway 96 and Lexington Avenue, t' -- I Dudllet Imnact I The Planning and Zoning budget contains funds for Planning Consultant Fees (Fund 101-41910- -- 3120) which could be used to acquire this technical expertise. Recommendation I The Highway 96 Task Force requests that the City Council authorize the Staff to acquire technical expertise to assist in the area of signage and landscape architecture for possible improvements to Highway 96.

MEMORANDUM DATE: June 30, 1997 I TO: Mayor and City Council I FROM: ""'m Ringw.Id, C'mm~ity Dml'pm.nt D"'d'~ I SUBJECT: Community Development Department Activities June of 1997 I The following swnmarizes the activities of the Community Development Department for May of 1997. I Planninl1' and Zonin~ 1. Planning Case 97-06 (Welsh Companies, Round Lake Road, Site Plan and I Variances). The applicant is requesting approval of the Phase II, m, and IV buildings which are 104,532 square feet, 1 15,575 square feet, and 11 1,779 square feet respectively, The Staff is currently trying to enhance some of the design elements of the proposal and .. ensure proper coordination with the proposed public improvements, 2. Planning Case 97-10 (John Shelendich, 1459 Glenhill Road, Variance. side yard). I The applicant is requesting approval of a side yard (street) setback variance (15 feet proposed when 40 feet is required). The applicants house is at the comer of Glenhill Road and State Highway 51, The house currently has a 15 foot side yard setback, but due I to the large right of way for STH 51 is does not appear as such. The applicant wishes to construct a small addition to the house and the proposed location would appear to be the only reasonable place to locate the addition. I 3. Planning Case 97-11 (Jerome Stradinger, 1426 County Road E, Variance - side yard setback and size of detached structure). The applicant is requesting approval of a I Variance for a side yard setback and size of detached structure variance, The applicant wishes construct an addition to an existing garage, The existing garage has a setback of I 3'3". The existing detached garage is 396 square feet and the proposed addition is 576 square feet for a total of 972 square feet, when 728 square feet is the maximwn size allowed, I 4. Planning Case 97-12 (City of Arden Hills, Code Change). The eity is requesting approval of various modifications to the Zoning Ordinance which will hopefully clarify I several problematic sections. it I -. - _________u ______ - . I 5. Planning Case 97-13 (Amberjack Limited, 4300 Round Lake Road, Special Use I Permit). The applicant is requesting approval of a special use permit to install three .. nitrogen above ground storage tanks adjacent to the rear of the building. 6. Planning Case 97-14 (Bethel College, 3900 Bethel Drive, Site Plan). The applicant is requesting site plan approval of an addition to an existing storage shed at southeast comer I of the campus. The shed addition was shown on the applicants approved Master Plan. Protective Inspections I 1. Building Permits (6 month review). The first six months of 1997 have been a very busy period for the review and issuance of building permits in the City, In the first six months of 1997 there have been 143 building permits issued (127 in 1996) with a combined I valuation of $18,552,224.18 ($10,380,104,20 in 1996), The second six months of 1997 promises to be equally busy with the addition to the I North Heights Lutheran Church (in excess of$5,OM), Phase II of the GBD (in excess of $4.5M), Phase III of the GBD (in excess of $5 ,OM), and the last townhouse building (two I units) at the Townhomes of Lake Valentine (in excess of$O.5M). At this point in time it would appear that at the end of 1997 the City will have had a total valuation increase, through building permits, of $30,000,000 to $35,000,000 ($17,363,947,22 in 1996 using I 3,351 inspector hours), As a note, the above-mentioned valuation do not include mechanical, plumbing, electrical, waterlsewer, or sign permits, Protective Inspection - Revenue Summary ell Proto Insp. 1997 1997 1996 I Division Budget Account to date Total Bldg. Permit $110,000 $135,368 $196,559 I Heating $10,500 $14,697 $35,937 Plumbing $4,500 $4,157 $3,898 I Electrical $14,000 $10,279 $18,159 2. Building Permits (June). The first commercial/industrial permit of June (# 5709) I involved a $40,800 commercial remodeling permit for Flaherty's Bowl at 1273 County I Road E. The second commerciallindustrial permit (# 5720) involved a $64,534 interior remodel of Dorm A at Bethel College, The third commercial/industrial permit (#5725) involved a $3,000 office remodel at 4105 Lexington Avenue. The fourth I commercial/industrial permit (#5738) involved a $9,000 office remodel at 1260 Grey Fox Road. The fifth commercial/industrial permit (#5741) involved a $117,050 grading permit for the North Heights Lutheran Church addition at 1700 Highway 96, The sixth I commercial/industrial permit (#5743) involved a $30,000 office remodel at 3900 Northwoods Drive. Lastly, the seventh commercial/industrial permit (#5745) involved a .. $1,685,000 office remodel for H.B, Fuller at 1275 Grey Fox Road. -. I I I In June, the City issued 30 residential remodeling permits which ranged in value from ,. $200,00 to $96,000.00 and had a total value of$295,786,OO and had an average value of $9,859.53, In June, the City issued one new residential (single family) construction permit which had a value of $298,0 1 0.00. I As I have previously mentioned, the City's new building official, Dave Scherbel has been doing a very good job of managing his time and efforts in this construction spike. Also, I receptionist, earolyne Kapitan has recently completed the creation of address specific filing system and is starting to transfer data and forms from various locations into these address specific files. The advantage of this filing system is that when the building I official, or anyone else, needs to know something regarding a specific parcel all the information regarding that parcel will be in one file. I 3, Sign Permits. In June, the City issued two sign permits, The first sign permit was for a temporary sign for North Heights Lutheran Church. The second sign permit was for the Great China Restaurant at 3551 Lexington Avenue (in Arden Plaza), I Economic Development 1, Gateway Business District. Aside from the review of development plans and I formulation of purchase agreements and development contracts the Staff is continuing to work on several other items within the GBD. The first of those is the regional trail relocation from adjacent to Highway 96 to an more safe alternate location through the Ie GBD. The Staff has had positive meetings with the U.S, Fish & Wildlife Service on locating the trail on parts of their property adjacent to Round Lake. Also, the Staffhas I had meeting with representatives of Minnesota Transfer (owners of the railroad spur, not to be confused with the tenant) who seems to more amenable to the purchase of the spur and bridge over Interstate 35W, Also, 1 will have more information at the meeting I regarding the status of the adverse possession claim by the "horse lady". 2. EDAM summer conference. I recently attended the Economic Development I Association of Minnesota (EDAM) summer conference which focused on "Modem Building Needs & Construction Methods". The conference had several interesting sessions, The session which I found extremely enlightening was a panel discussion by I 3M, Pillsbury, and the Rosemount Corporation which discussed, quite candidly, their facility location decision making process. Unanimously, the top two criteria were relative location to the target market, effect on product stream and product delivery. Surprisingly I (to some of my economic development colleagues) local incentives was number 10 to 15 on theses companies site selection lists. The other session which I found interesting was "Project Delivery Trends" by Kraus-Anderson Construction Corporation and KKE I Architects (Exhibit A). The session discussed the relative advantages and disadvantages of each of the different types of client-architect-contractor relationships. I Code Enforcement 1. Electric Fence. The Staff received the following letter from Patrick Finn (3355 New t' Brighton Road) who, in short, states that the electric fence has been disconnected, but has been left up to fool their dog (Exhibit B), I -- ---------- ---.--- I 2. 1369 Forest Lane. As previously mentioned to the City Council, there was a fire which I substantially damaged the home at 1369 Forest Lane. I have requested that the Building -- Official contact the City Attorney to commence prompt action to ensure that the City is not faced with another 1900 Edgewater Avenue, 3. 4040 Old Highway 10. The "Old Caretakers Home" on the Bethel College campus was I recently razed, as promised by Bethel College in their recent Master Plan Update, The only item remaining at this time is the establishment of ground cover, which the college is working on, I Miscellaneous 1. 1-35W Corridor Coalition. As previously mentioned to the City Council, the Coalition I was successful in obtaining $200,000 ($100,000 per year) from the State of Minnesota to assist with the Coalitions efforts, The Coalition is attempting to obtain other grants from the State and the McKnight Foundation which would assist the Coalition to more I expeditiously undertake the work program, 2. Metropolitan Council Population Estimate (Provisional) - April 1. 1996, The eity I recently received its provisional population estimate from the Metropolitan Council as of April 1, 1996 (Exhibit C), The City's population is estimated to be 9,678 persons which I is 479 persons greater than 1990, Also, the City continues to experience a decrease in the number of persons per household which is currently estimated at 2.72 person per household as opposed to 2,81 persons per household in 1990. ~ 3. SLUC luncheon. I recently attended a Sensible Land Use Coalition (SLUC) luncheon whose topic was" '97 Legislative Update" (Exhibit D). The two new laws which would I appear to effect the City the most at this point in time are the: repeal of the Merriam amendment; and the purchase and transfer of development rights. The repeal of the Merriam amendment places the Comprehensive Plan in a priority position over the I Zoning Map if the two are in conflict with one another. The purchase and Transfer of Development Rights (TDR's) is now specifically included as an official control that may be used to preserve land in one area and encourage development in another.

I legislative Summary {' Prepared by Cindy Carlsson for the Sensible land Use Coalition June 25, 1997 I 1997 Community-Based Planning Act u Chapter 202 (SF 1905) Nothing in this bill requires the adoption of a Community-based Comprehensive plan. I This is state-wide, but requires COUNTY participation/cooperation, Goals of community-based planning (Article 4) I Establishes 11 community-based planning goals, These not enacted under the enabling laws, but as part of the law governing the Office of Long-Range and Strategic Planning (state Planning Office), I Encouraging Counties and Cities to make Community-based Plans · This amends the enabling laws, but again, none of it is mandatory, · Requires lots of notification to agencies and coordination with other local governments I · Provides for (optional) establishment of municipal urban growth areas, These areas - must have developable land sufficient for 20 years, -. must include plans for necessary boundary adjustments as development occurs, and -- must plan for staged provision of urban services in the area, I -- Plans that include a boundary adjustment are required to include a negotiated agreement for orderly annexation of land the urban growth area as part of the plan and to file these agreements with the Municipal Board or it's successor, Ie -- Thereafter annexation may be made by resolution in accordance with the plan, · Requires participating municipalities to submit plans to the county, I -- If the city does not plan to grow beyond current boundaries, the city does NOT have to change its plan to reflect the county's comments, -- Towns may not make plans that are inconsistent with, or less restrictive than, the county I plan, but do not have to revise plans to address other county concerns, -- If a city plans for growth beyond it's current boundaries, the plan and proposed urban growth area must be APPROVED by the county prior to incorporation into the county plan, I -- In case of a dispute between the city and the county, cities must enter the dispute resolution process or return any community-based planning funds received. -- A municipality CANNOT adopt or implement the plan until the county plan has received I review and comment from the Office · Requires county plans to incorporate approved community-based municipal or town plans I · Gives the state Planning Office authority to "disagree" with a county plan and require the county to revise and resubmit it and requires that countiesljoint powers districts refusing to revise plans enter .1 the dispute resolution process or return any money distributed through the Office -9 Repeals remaining "Merriam Language" so now, in the case of conflict between the comprehensive plan and the zoning, the plan supersedes the zoning. I Requires the Metropolitan Council to reflect and implement community-based planning goals i" int he development guide. Advisory council on community-based planning If there is going to be a state-wide law, this is the group that will be developing it I - . O' - - --.--- - -------- ----.----- --- - 2h , I Pilot Projects I Sets criteria for county plans based on the full law, with some additional requirements. .. · Requires pilot counties to establish urban growth and sets some zoning restrictions on land located outside that area, · Requires identification of density at which municipalities plan to develop, · Requires counties adjacent to the metropolitan area to "coordinate" with the Met Council's I development guide and requires review and comment by the Council. · Prohibits county amendments to plans for areas within municipal growth areas outside the municipality without municipal approval. I Alternative Dispute Resolution Process · Sets in place a dispute resolution process for property owners and local units of government with I land use disputes, This is also an alternative to the municipal board, Municipal Board is repealed on December 31, 1999, with powers transferred to state Planning I Funding Total funding for the biennium is $1.4 million dollars, distributed through the state Planning Office, All I money is available only to counties or joint powers districts that include at least one county, However, in at least some cases, counties receiving grants can pass funds along to municipalities regardless of whether they are in a joint planning district. Other Laws of Interest I Manufactured home parks are now a conditional use in any zoning district that allows the construction or placement of housing intended for use by two or more families, (Chapter 200, Art, 4) eI ~ The Purchase and Transfer of development rights is specifically included as an official control that may be used to preserve land in one area and encourage development in another. Specifies the use I of conservation easements as the method of preserving land, (Chapter 216) There are a variety of environmental and pOllution control programs provided in Chapter 216. Some I of these, include large land useldevelopment compo;)ents, Bills That Didn't Get Anywhere (This Year) I Bills affecting the Met Council included one {Chapter 151, vetoed} that would have made the Council an elected body and another that would have stripped the Council of most duties and redistributed those responsibilities to the state and metropolitan counties (HF 783/SF 1209), I Building penn it fees would be limited to the cost of issuing and enforcing the permit {HF 804}. Heritage and historic TIF subdistricts would have been allowed {SF 601/HF 1184}, I The building code and standards division would have been transferred to the Department of .~., Public Safety {HF 336/SF 3M}, A school facility fee would have been placed on all new metropolitan area residential construction 4 (HF 1564/SF 1248).

DATE: June 25, 1997 I TO: Brian Fritsinger, City Administrator -J I FROM: Cindy S. Walsh, Parks and Recreation Director t)l SUBJECT: June Department Report I ~ I Thor Construction has repaired the asphalt areas that needed to be replaced on the 1996 trail construction project. There are still 2 items that they need to finish before their final pay estimate. I will be working with the engineer to get these items finished as soon as possible, I I have had an additional trail sign placed at the top of the hill north of Colleen Drive. It says, "STOP for your safety walk bikes, skates etc. down hill". The "Steep Decline" sign is still in . place, Hi!:hway 96 Trail Ie The Parks and Recreation and Public Works and Safety Commissions have made recommendations to place the Highway 96 trail on the proposed alternate route rather than the planned route along the highway. The Highway 96 task force also made a similar . recommendation. This item will be coming to the Council in July. I I have responded to Ramsey County's letter informing us they plan to continue with the trail along Highway 96 and over the 35 W bridge, A copy of the letter was provided in your packet last week, . Round Lake Trail I met with a representative from the U.S, Fish and Wildlife Service to discuss the possibility of I constructing a trail along the south and west side of Round Lake. In walking the area with their staff person, it seems to be a possibility, There will be some areas where the City will need to acquire property or an easement from the abutting businesses. I will continue to work with the I V,S. Fish and Wildlife Service to further develop a plan. I hope to have a plan in place within the next two months so that it can be incorporated into future park dedication requirements of the Gateway Business District. I Trees at TCAAP Dave Winkel and I met with Mike Fixx to discuss the possibility of transplanting spruce trees I from the TCAAP property to City parks or street projects, Mr, Fixx has indicated that the City if 1 I __n____________ --- -------- ~. A. can take as many of the trees as we need for projects. He is hoping to help the City out by _I donating the trees and at the same time get some positive publicity for giving the trees to the City, The majority of the trees are 12-15 feet or taller. I was hoping that there would be some 6- 8 feet tall trees, but there are very few in this category, I am recommending that the City I consider transplanting some of these spruce trees along Highway 96 at the time of reconstruction. I would also like to use some of the trees in our park areas. I I have contacted Evergreen Tree Service to get a price quote on transplanting costs. They normally charge $150-$175 per tree for 1 or 3 trees, However, they will transplant the trees for I approximately $85 if we do 25,50 trees, As a staff, we can begin to consider the various options for transplanting these trees, It is obviously more cost effective to hire a tree service to transplant the trees at the same time even if they are being planted in different areas, . Sheehy Tennis Court Lease Todd Albertson from the Arden Hills #3 Association has paid the $10,00 lease agreement price . for the Tennis Court on the previous Sheehy property. The association will be repairing the court and will install a combination lock for their members, Day in the Park I The Day in the Park celebration was a success, We have received favorable feedback from several residents who enjoyed the entertainment and activities, The cost of the event $997.20, . Next year's celebration is planned at Hazelnut Park to highlight the new play structure. Tonv Schmidt Park Redevelopment .- I have talked with Greg Mack about involving Arden Hills residents in the redevelopment process, The process will most likely include Arden Hills appointing a task force made up of the . following people: two Ramsey County Parks and Recreation Commission members, two Arden Hills P & R Commission members, two members of the Lake Johanna Association, two at large Arden Hills residents, and two members from the Friends of Ramsey County (possibly from . other cities in Ramsey County), This group would help with developing the master plan for redevelopment. There would also be one or two meetings with residents to receive input after the master plan has been established, Ramsey County anticipates contacting the City to begin I this process in the fall. V andalism I The City parks have received a lot of vandalism in the last 3 weeks, We have had signs, tennis and basketball courts and play structures painted with obscene language and symbols, soccer nets I taken, and picnic tables broken, The majority of the damage done to picnic tables is from in-line skaters and skateboarders. They use the tables to skate on and jump over. Pro~m Re.port . Tracy has been working on the 1997 North Suburban Youth Safety Camp. The camp is a cooperative effort with the Cities of New Brighton and Shoreview as well as the Ramsey County I Sheriff, The camp will be held on August 13 and 14 at the Shoreview Community Center and 2 .. I ---- I" .- 1- Long Lake Regional Park. The t-ball and softball programs and playground program have begun. Each of these two 1 programs has over 120 participants and continue through July. The playground program also consists of weekly field trips to various locations, special events for preschoolers, and concludes I with the Penny Camival on July 25. Maintenance lJDdate I The park maintenance staff has constructed the play structure at Hazelnut Park. The swings will be separate from the structure and will be assembled within the next two weeks. The maintenance staff need to get caught up on other projects and mowing before they begin to I assemble the swings. There has been quite a bit of storm damage around the outer area of the Hazelnut Park through out the winter and spring. Staff will be using the wood chipper to clean up the area this week. Staff is also busy mowing and trimming parks, lift stations, and water I tower areas, These areas are mowed weekly. We typically mow grass walking trails every 3-4 weeks. I Parks and Recreation Commission At the June meeting the members made a recommendation to the Council to encourage Ramsey County to explore an alternate trail route for Highway 96. The preferred route is the alternative I that was proposed by staff, The Commission also toured Hazelnut, Lindey's, Freeway, Crepeau, Arden Oaks, and Ingerson Parks, They will be recommending improvements at a couple of these -- park areas as part of the 5 year plan, I I 1 I 1 1 :. 3 I I I CITY OF ARDEN HILLS ~ MEMORANDUM DATE: June 23,1997 I TO: Brian Fritsinger, City Administrator ~.

Maintenance workers installed an antenna on top of the North Water Tower which will transmit an alarm to a receiver at the booster station, if doors are opened without security code. Electro Watchman personnel, who were installing the alarm system were not comfortable working at I these heights. Weeds around all City hydrants were cut and a five (5) feet swath on the Highway 51 side of I North Hamline A venue was brushed and cleared where bushes were growing out into the roadway, This is the segment which was cut from the reconstruction plan this spring. I Sod work from plow damage and some boulevards where settling had occurred were sodded this month. I Several hydrants were raised to match surrounding elevations and some were also painted by City workers, I Root cutting was completed on sewer lines where televising showed problems, and a repon with recommendations on other repairs should be following soon from MSAlHoward R Green, I Graffitti near the high school was cleaned-up several times, at a cost to the City of$l,OOO to $1,500. " Demonstrations will be given by the two (2) finalists on water meters, Tuesday, June 24 and Wednesday, June 25, The Public Works Superintendent has asked each vendor to provide the I eity with a cut-away model of a two (2) or three (3) inch meter, plus a meter of that size the crew can take apart and examine.
