unanimously (4-0).
PUBLIC HEARING - 1998 STREET IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
A. Adopt Resolution #97-59, Authorizing the Preparation of Detailed Plans and
Specifications in the Matter of the 1998 Street Improvement Project
Mayor Probst opened the public hearing at 7:31 p.m. and explained the meeting procedure which
will be followed to formally present the project, address Council questions, and then accept
public comments. Mayor Probst noted that an informational meeting was held at the Army
Reserve Center on November 17, 1997, which approximately 40 residents attended.
Mr. Dwayne Stafford, Public Works Superintendent, stated Staff had received residential input
from the informational meeting and accepted written comments from residents. He explained if
all of the streets originally proposed were to proceed, the estimated cost is almost double which
the preliminary budget anticipated. Therefore, Staff re-evaluated each street proposed for the
1998 Street Improvement Project and related issues and then drafted a list of streets which is
being recommended to proceed with construction as part of that project. Mr. Stafford explained
- that the Council is asked to adopt Resolution #97-59, Authorizing the Preparation of Detailed
Plans and Specifications in the matter of the 1998 Street Improvement Project. Staff has held
inforrnational meetings, with all of the affected property owners invited, and re-evaluated the
---
DRAFT
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - DECEMBER 8. 1997 2
various issues related to the strcets included in the Feasibility Report. As a result, Staff is .
recommending a scaled down 1998 street program.
Mr. Gregory Brown, City Engineer, explained that he will be presenting a project overview,
financing, and implementation. He explained that prior to 1995 the City maintained roadways
based upon a comprehensive review and ranking of all City streets based upon its condition of
detcrioration. In 1995, the City and its consulting engineer conducted a pavement condition
survey of all of the streets and also developed a multi-year improvement program. Mr. Brown
explained how the pavement condition ranking is used to determine if and when a street should
be rehabilitated or reconstructed and to develop a five-year plan.
Mr. Brown then displayed pictures depicting asphalt roadways at various levels of deterioration,
base failures, and cross sections for a typical City street. Mr. Brown read a list of streets which
were slated for reconstruction and overlay and explained that due to the high cost over the
budget, only the following streets are recommended to remain in the project scope:
reconstruction of Fairview Avenue, Edgewater Avenue and Stowe Avenue; and overlay of
Edgewater Avenue, Glenpaul Avenue, and Sandeen Road. Staffis recommending the other
streets identified in the Feasibility Report be dropped from the 1998 Street Improvement Project.
Mr. Brown reviewed the estimated project costs and explained that financing will be comprised
of the General Fund, PIR Fund, Surface Water Management Utility, City of New Brighton, and
residential assessments. The assessment rates will be based on the benefit to the property, not the ..
actual cost. The 1997 assessment rates were $37.96 per foot for reconstructed streets and $4.97
per foot for overlaid streets. He stated the contract would probably be let in February of 1998,
construction started in April or May of 1998, and construction completed in July or August of
1998. Mr. Brown offered to answer questions,
Mayor Probst explained the issue at this public hearing is whether the project should proceed, not
the costs or level of assessments which will be addressed at a future public hearing (if the project
proceeds). He noted the recommendation of Staff on the number of streets to be included. He
asked if anyone is present from a street that is proposed to be dropped who would like the street
incl uded.
A resident of Hamline Avenue indicated she wants Hamline Avenue to remain dropped from the
1998 Street Improvement Project.
A resident stated that Indian Place has been dropped from reconstruction but it has not been
sealcoated or overlaid since constructed and should be looked at.
Mayor Probst stated Indian Place was slated for reconstruction but the Council has chosen to not
invest in a lesser irnprovement since it would be needed again in a short time frame. He stated it
will be back on the list as a candidate for next year's project.
Mitch Bendix, 1948 Edgewatcr Avenue, stated he lives on a corner lot that has three big .
evergreens and asked if the City will be improving Prior A venue any time soon.

ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - DECEMBER 8 1997 ,
J
. Mr. Brown advised that Prior Avenue was overlaid in 1995 and the intent is to reconstruct
Edgewater A venue and overlay Glenpaul A venue. The other streets in this area have been
overlaid in the last three years. He stated it is anticipated that Prior A venue will be reconstructed
at a future date, possibly five to ten years, with concrete curb and gutter and storm sewer.
Mayor Probst requested Council direction with regard to the recommendation of Staff for a
reduced project.
Councilmember Malone reviewed the Council's process to take an optimistic review of streets
and budget considerations. He stated he believes there is good rationale to remove the streets as
recommended by Staff and to include them in next year's plan, He stated his concurrence with
Staffs recommendation.
Councilmember Hicks stated he also concurs.
Councilmember Aplikowski asked ifthere is only one resident objecting to Indian Place being
dropped. Mr. Brown stated it will be looked at again next year.
Steve Gencke, 1840 W. County Road E, stated there are roads in worse condition than Indian
Place which only serves three homes. He suggested other roads be considered instead, possibly
the road on the side of the Mayor's house (the alleyway).
. Larry Erickson, 1860 Indian Place, applauded the Council for not doing Indian Place this year.
Vincent Linders, 1945 Glenpaul Avenue, asked when assessments would be due on Prior
Avenue.
Mayor Probst explained this is not the assessment hearing, but residents can pay within 30 days
of the final resolution or the assessment is added to future property tax statement over a five to
eight year period depending on the size of the assessment.
Mr. Linders asked if the overlay will be milling, how long it will remain crack free, and if a
guarantee is offered. Mr. Brown stated the City's contracts are warranted for one year against
catastrophic failure or poor workmanship via a bond. With regard to cracks forming, it will
happen with an overlay which is a rehabilitation method. Mr. Brown explained cracks propagate
through within two to three years and an overlay will last five to ten years before it is back to the
current condition.
Mr. Linders inquired regarding the pavement thickness. Mr. Brown advised they place four
inches of asphalt and eight inches of gravel with new construction and an overlay is two inches
of asphalt over what is there. Mr. Linders stated Prior A venue has less than two inches in many
places and he believes the overlay of Glenpaul Avenue would be a waste of money, as was the
Prior Avenue overlay improvement of two years ago.
. Mr. Brown explained the type of soil investigation which will take place to determine the
existing base and verify it makes sense to overlay Glenpaul Avenue.
DRAf f
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - DECEMBER 8 1997 4
Mr. Linders noted that a range of five to ten years is a large range and he believes the current .
streets could last five years without any improvement being made. Mr. Brown stated this will be
evaluated.
Mayor Probst stated Council consensus has been expressed to proceed with Staffs
recommendation. Hc noted Stowe Avenue is a unique situation since New Brighton has decided
to fund their portion of the roadway in 1998.
In response to Mayor Probst, the following residents indicated they had no comment or that their
questions had been answered:
Thomas \Vhittles, 1867 Glenpaul Avenue; George and Vi Zauer, 4043 Valentine
Court; Rollie and Elouise Herrigs, 3991 Fairview Avenue; Mina Aulsit, 3034
Benjamin Street NE; and Susan Christianson, Presbyterian Homes.
Joan Olsen and Jerry Schreyer, 4054 Valentine Court, were not present.
Mitch Bendix, 1948 Edgewater Avenue, stated he has no further comment.
Michael Hill, 3280 Lakc Johanna Boulevard, asked if rates are based on benefit to the
property. He stated his driveway is on Lake Johanna Boulevard and the side and back yard are
on Sandcen. He asked how he will benefit from the overlay of Sandeen and ifhe will also be .
assessed on Lake Johanna Boulevard when it is improved.
Mayor Probst stated Lake Johanna Boulevard is currently a County Road but the County plans to
turn it back to the City so the potential exists for assessment on both streets.
Mr. Hill asked if it is legal and ethical to be assessed on both streets, Mayor Probst stated that it
is. Mr. Hill stated he does not believe that it is and asked that this be noted in the record.
Kristin Poelzer, 1870 Indian Place, thanked the Council for not reconstructing Indian Place at
this time. She asked when it will be scheduled for reconstruction.
Mr. Brown stated he would hesitate to place a date on that project but they will take another
comprehensive look at the remaining streets and reevaluate them once this project is underway.
Mayor Probst explained the Council attempts to project street improvements beyond one year to
give residents advanced notice.
Ms. Poelzer asked if a reconstructed road will last 20 years. Mr. Brown stated that this is the
industry standard. Ms, Poelzer stated it has been about 20 years since Indian Place was
reconstructed but she believes it may last five to six more years. She asked the City to keep
residents appraised of improvement plans.
Roger Luehn, 1967 Edgewater Avenue, asked if it will take three months to reconstruct .
Edgewater. Mr. Brown explained the actual disruption to residents will be no more than
approxirnately three weeks.
DRAFT
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - DECEMBER 8. 1997 5
. Mr. Luehn asked when the assessment hearing will be held.
Mr. Brian Fritsinger, City Administrator, estimated the assessment process will take place
sometime between February to April and advised that residents will receive notice of that
meeting.
Tim Boehlke, 1955 Edgewater Avenue, stated his questions have been answered.
Ann Goetz, 1905 Edgewater Avenue, had no comment.
George Evans 1960 Edgewater A venue, stated he moved into this house about a year ago so he
did not have the benefit of the street when it was new. He explained that he will be retiring in
three to four years and then moving out of the State so the work on Edgewater Avenue will
benefit whoever buys the house, not him, Mr. Evans stated this is a long cul-de-sac without a lot
of traffic and he does not think the road is that bad.
Kevin Dahmen, 1900 Glenpaul Avenue, stated he has lived here his entire live and does not
remember any significant work being done. He stated he does not think it makes sense for a mill
and overlay because the roadway is not that bad and the contractor did a poor job of the mill and
overlay on Prior. Mr, Dahmen stated he prefers to wait several years for a full reconstruction.
. Mr. Linders suggested reevaluating the street maintenance process used by the City because he
has not seen significant deterioration within the past ten years and the City has not done much
patching. Mr. Linders stated hc thinks Glenpaul Avenue will remain for another ten years and he
opposes the project.
George Rehbein, 1759 Crystal, inquired regarding the placement of survey markers about eight
feet into his property. Mr. Brown explained they probably indicate a control point and not the
edge of the road.
Ted Lindbom, 4008 North Fairview, stated he has been told for the last three years that
something would be done about the condition of Fairview, but nothing has ever been done. He
asked what is different about his year and if something will finally be done.
Councilmember Malone explained it is a budgetary tradeoff since the City does not have enough
money to do all of the streets requiring attention in one year. Therefore, they take the worst
cases first.
Ramona Lindbom, 4008 North Fairview, explained that the streets in the entire neighborhood
have been done over the last few years except for Fairview Avenue so they hope the City really
does do it before all ofthe other streets need more work.
There being no further public comments, Mayor Probst closed the public hearing at 8:14 p.m.
. Councilmember Aplikowski suggested the City Engineer and Staff review Glenpaul Avenue and
if it does not make sense to overlay it, it can be removed from the 1998 Street Improvement
Project.
DRAFT
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - DECEMBER 8. 1997 6
Mr. Brown explained that if it is decided to reconstruct Glenpaul A venue, rather than overlay it, .
it would be a major addition to the Project. He stated if it is determined the existing blacktop is
too thin, as suggested by Mr. Linders, the project can be removed or slated for the future.
Councilmember Malone stated this is the hearing where the Council determines if the engineer
should procecd with project plans which will include borings. He concurred that if it makes no
sense to overlay Glenpaul Avenue it can be removed from the Project. Councilmember Malone
commented on the clay soil in Arden Hills which results in some problems with roadway
cracking.

UNFINISHED AND NEW BUSINESS
A. Highway 96 Improvement Project, Task Force Recommendations
Mr. Kevin Ringwald, Community Development Director, introduced John Tholen, Chair of the .
Highway 96 Task Force, who was in attendance to present their recommendations related to
Highway 96. He also introduced John Sanders, landscape architect for this project.
. DRAfT
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - DECEMBER 8. 1997 7
. Mr, John Tholen, Chair ofthe Highway 96 Task Force, explained this Task Force was
created by the Council on April II , 1997 to provide the City with a series ofrecommendations
on the reconstruction of Highway 96 so the recommendations could be forwarded to Ramsey
County while the Arden Hills' portion of the project is still in the design phase. He reviewed the
membership of the committee and advised that their first recommendation is that two entryway
signs be located along Highway 96, the first at the southwest corner of Highwa\ 96 and
Lexington A venue. The second cntryway sign would be located at the southeast corner of
Highway 96 and Interstate 35W.
Bill Sanders of Sanders, Wacker, and Bergly, project landscape architect. reviewed a
colored sketch of the proposed signs and landscape design including grading, location of
evergreen trees, and flowers. He explained the need to raise the elevation to improve the
visibility of the sign.
Mayor Probst suggested Ramsey County be asked to do some of this grading prior to their
completion of the project. He also stated he understands the County proposes to place the signal
control box on this corner. Mr. Tholen stated they have requested this signal box be relocated on
the Reserve Center property.
Councilmember Malone asked if the estimate is $32,000 per sign. Mr. Sanders stated this is
correct, is an estimated cost, and does not include landscaping. He reviewed the types of
. materials to be used for the sign.
Mr. Tholen reviewed his discussion with the Reserve Center and Ramsey County to provide
trees, fill, and to seed the property.
Mr. Sanders explained that the sign on the southeast corner ofI-35W would be of the same
design but the landscaping may be different.
Councilmember Malone asked what the City of Shoreview sign will look like. :vIr. Tholen stated
it is approximately 85 feet long and ten feet high.
Mr. Tholen reviewed the Task Force recommendation for the inclusion of turf with underground
irrigation and the addition of ornamental trees at the ends of these tree groups. They recommend
no additional lighting be installed at this time since the redevelopment of TCAA,P is not
imminent. The Task Force would recommend that if development of the TCAAP property is
imminent, then this item be reviewed at that time.
Mayor Probst inquired regarding the lighting costs. Mr. Brown estimated $3,000 per fixture
without wiring. He recommended placing conduit under the cross section streets and driveways
since the County will pay for it.
Mr. Tholen stated the Task Force does not recommend the provision of a regional trail as
. proposed by Ramsey County and recommends the regional trail stay on the south side of
Highway 96 until North Snelling Avenue. Then the trail should proceed south on the west side
of North Snelling Avenue and cross over Highway 10, via a bridge, in the vicinity of Royal Hills
Park, then proceed west hugging Round Lake where possible and proceed over Intestate 35W

utilizing the existing railroad bridge to gain access to the Long Lake Regional Park. He stated .
the Task Force believes the trail, as designed by Ramsey County, presents a safety hazard.
Mr. Tholen stated the Task Force does not recommend the inclusion of sidewalks on the north
side of Highway 96 but would recommend that if development of the TCAAP is imminent, then
this item be reviewed at that time to determine the appropriate location for trails/sidewalks
within the TCAAP property.
Mr. Tholen statcd the Task Force does not recommend the provision of a noise wall but would
recommend the provision of additionallandscaping/berming by Ramsey County in those
residential areas (i.e" Arden Manor Mobile Home Park) in which residents are directly adjacent
to the roadway and do not have the proper building setbacks. Mr. Tholen stated the Task Force
would recommend that if the redevelopment of the City Hall site does not require the use of the
median cut (in front of the Public Works driveway), then the median cut be relocated to Keithson
Drive, which is at the top of the hill and has the potential for expansion into the Reiling property.
Councilmember Hicks inquired regarding the dimensions of the proposed sign. Mr. Sanders
stated it is about 15 fect long and five feet high.
Councilmember Malone expressed concern with the cost estimate for the signs and stated he
would have a difficult time voting to support it. Mr. Tholen stated this comer is currently an
eyesore and it would be appropriate to have a nicely landscaped corner with a City sign. .
Councilmember Malone stated he believes there may be an alternate, creative way to handle this
at a lower cost. He stated he supports the recommendation with regard to the median cut, berm,
trails, and sidewalk,
Councilmember Malone asked how far apart Shoreview's lights are. Mr. Brown stated they are
about 300 feet on center per side, or 150 feet apart (zig zag).
Council member Malone stated ifhe had to prioritize the issues of the sign, landscaping, and
lights, he would support the lights.
Mr. Tholen stated the Task Force considered lighting as more of a future improvement.
Mayor Probst stated it would be nice to find a way to reduce the cost of the sign but he believes
there is value in such a City sign and, perhaps, it is a matter of timing this project. He stated he
supports a sign project that looks nice, will be there for a long time, and something the City can
be proud of. He expressed concern with the proposed size ofthe Shoreview sign. Mayor Probst
stated he is grateful to the Task Force for their work and believes their recommendations are "on
target." He commented that an irrigation system will allow proper maintenance of the sign area.
Mayor Probst stated he also concurs with the Task Force recommendation to not consider a noise
wall.
CounciJmember Aplikowski stated she supports all of the recommendations, including the sign. .
However, she has some apprehension about the irrigation but would support it over lighting. She
. '" >-;"';

. .. -io.lt :;:..;;

. commented on the need for proper maintenance to assure the landscaping does not detract from
the overall appearance ofthe sign.
MOTION: Malone moved and Aplikowski seconded a motion to accept the
recommendations of the Highway 96 Task Force as presented. The motion
carricd unanimously (4-0).
B. 1997 Street Improvements (Valley Paving), Pay Estimate #2
Mr. Stafford explained that the Council is asked to approve Pay Estimate #2 to Valley Paving,
Inc, in the amount of $186,000 for the 1997 Street Improvements. He explained that Valley
Paving, Inc. was the low bidder for this project at $383,143.75 and awarded the project. Due to
less than anticipated quantity amounts in some areas, the final project cost was $370,990.08. Mr.
Stafford stated that $179,558,03 has been paid, leaving a balance of$191,432.05. He noted the
memorandum from Terry Mauer, Howard R. Green Company, recommending approval of the
final payment subject to a retainage. Mr. Stafford recommended a retainage of $5,432.05 be held
and paid upon completion of the punch list items and receipt of appropriate documentation.
Mayor Probst asked if the proposed retainage amount will be adequate to assure completion. Mr.
Stafford reviewed the types of work remaining and stated he is confident the proposed retainage
will cover those costs.
. Mr. Fritsinger advised that Staff did review the remaining work items to assure the proposed
retainage is adequate to complete the work.
Council member Hicks asked if there is other work remaining beyond the turf restoration. Mr.
Stafford stated there is and reviewed the items, which were all low-cost corrections.
MOTION: Hicks moved and Aplikowski seconded a motion to approve payment of Pay
Estimate #2 to Valley Paving, Inc. in the amount of $186,000 for 1997 Street
Improvements subject to a retainage in the amount of $5,432.05 to be paid upon
completion of punch list items and receipt of necessary documents. The motion
carried unanimously (4-0).
C. Planning Case #96-23, Extension of Approval, Pilgrim House Unitarian Church
1212 West Highway 96
Mr. Fritsinger explained that the Council is asked to approve an extension of the approval of
Planning Case #96-23 until January 2, 1999. The applicant has not yet pulled the building permit
for this project, but has indicated they intend to do so in the Spring of 1998.
MOTION: Malone moved and Aplikowski seconded a motion to approve an extension of the
approval of Planning Case #96-23 until January 2, 1999, based on the applicant
. obtaining a building permit in the Spring of 1998. The motion carried
unanimously (4-0).

D. Lift Station #11, Feasibility Study .
Mr. Stafford explained that the Council is asked to authorize the undertaking of a feasibility
study for the elimination of Lift Station # II, as a result of the Highway 96 project. He advised
there are 14 lift stations spread throughout the City. Lift stations are typically constructed in low
areas of a City and sewer main lines surrounding the low area will be constructed to flow to the
lift station. The lift station then pumps the sewage up hill to a higher sewer main where the
sewage continues towards the MCES waste treatment plant, sometimes via other lift stations
along the line. He reviewed the types of maintenance problems that can result and explained that
the estimated average cost each year for Lift Station #lj electricity and maintenance would be
about $4,500 which does not include repair parts.
Mr. Stafford explained that as part of the Highway 96 project, Lift Station #11 may need to be
moved to accommodate the west-bound lane realignment near Arden Manor Mobile Home Park.
He recommended a small-scale feasibility study to determine if elevations of the existing lift
station incoming sewer lines, are at a higher elevation than the new sewer line being constructed
on Round Lake Road. It was noted that it may be possible to eliminate Lift Station #11 by
installing a gravity pipe from the existing lift station to the new sewer line on Round Lake Road
at 14th A venue. Since there is no room for error, these elevations need to be verified in the field.
MOTION: Malone moved and Hicks seconded a motion to authorize the undertaking of a
small-scale feasibility study for the elimination of Lift Station # 11, as a result of .
the Highway 96 project at a cost not to exceed $5,000. The motion carried
unanimously (4-0).
ADMINISTRATOR COMMENTS
Mr. Fritsinger requested, based on the action taken at the Truth in Taxation meeting, to cancel
the continuation public hearing scheduled for Thursday, December 11, 1997.
MOTION: Malone moved and Aplikowski seconded a motion to cancel the Truth in Taxation
hearing scheduled for December 11, 1997. The motion carried unanimously (4-
0).
Mr. Fritsinger advised of activity by Ms. Walsh with regard to the Vaughan property to exchange
property for trail area. He explained the park was dedicated to the City but never formalized.
This is not an acceptable location for park but there is an advantage to getting trail area without
having to expend dollars. Mr. Fritsinger stated he would like to confirm this is the appropriate
action for Staff to take. The Council concurred.
Mr. Fritsinger noted the resolution which the League of Minnesota Cities has requested
consideration of to deal with mobile home parks. He inquired regarding the COlfficil's position.
Councilmember Aplikowski stated she opposes it since there are already laws on the book to .
allow them to do it. She stated this sounds good and it may be of benefit to the homeowner but
she believes it is an intrusive benefit, especially since there are things in place now to allow
people to get in and do cleanup work. Councilmember Aplikowski advised that in 1984, a law
. ""':>:'. ~--.... ""'r

,.

ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - DECEMBER 8 1997 II
. was passed to require disclosure forms which were to be monitored and acted on by officials.
However, they don't do it so she questions why there should be another law on the books that
does not do anything except intrude. She stated the proposed law is not necessary and it does not
make sense to spend money to study something that has already been studied.
Council members Malone and Hicks stated their concurrence.
Mayor Probst stated the Council consensus is to not study this issue. He stated he does not
understand the total regulation in place but one issue mentioned is who has authority to regulate
(State or municipality). Mayor Probst stated if this study would clarify that issue, it would be of
benefit but it sounds like Council consensus is to not move forward.
Councilmember Aplikowski advised that the State gave up jurisdiction and gave it to the County
but the County does not want it.
COUNCIL COMMENTS
Counci[member Hicks announced the Northwest Board meeting will be held Thursday,
December 11, 1997, but he is unable to attend.
Councilmember Malone referred to the written comments on Valentine Avenue and the mention
. of a "traffic calming device." He stated that while he is not normally a proponent of that type of
trat1ic device, this area is a problem, has an illegal ineffective stop sign, and wide intersections
so, perhaps, a "traffic calming device" may work.
Councilmember Malone updated the Council with regard to the Fire Department pension fund
increase and advised it has been determined they can afford to increase their benefits. He
indicated that the Fire Department is also considering shifting towards paying a lump surn for
retirement which will be better than continuing payments and allow them to better invest funds.
Councilmember Aplikowski stated she will attend the Ramsey County League banquet on
Thursday, December 11, 1997.
Mayor Probst again recognized Parks & Recreation Director Cindy Walsh who received the 1997
MRPA Dorothea Nelson Award from the Minnesota Recreation and Park Association. He
reiterate how proud he is of Ms. Walsh who has achieved this award.
Mayor Probst announced the first meeting of the Arden Hills/Shoreview Joint Youth
Commission which will be held this Wednesday night.
Mayor Probst suggested a follow up letter be sent to Senator Grams thanking him for his warm
response and reaffirming the City's concern with regard to proposed legislation impacting
property rights.
. Mayor Probst reminded the Council of the meeting scheduled on Monday night to review the
ordinance codification.

agenda for the December 15, 1997 Worksession, which included the addition of a
presentation of a City Hall Preliminary Design by Architectural Alliance. The
motion carried unanimously (4-0).
. CITY ISSUES - SHORT TERM
a. Architectural Alliance. City Hall PreliminarY Desie:n
City Administrator, Brian Fritsinger, provided an introduction of the preliminary design
work being presented by the City's Architect, Peter Vesterholt. Mr. Vesterholt addressed
the unique site provided at the Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant (TCAAP) Sunfish
Lake property, and advised the Council and staff that the design was only for
architectural consideration at this time, and that no engineering work had been completed
yet. Mr. Vesterholt introduced his associates, Mr. Tom D'Angelo, and Ms. Jean Sterner,
who participated in the presentation.
Mr. D' Angelo discussed site amenities, drainage issues, visibility from Highway 96 and
Hamline Avenue, the natural state of the site, re-use of the existing driveway, and future
site development issues.
Ms. Sterner led a discussion of the models provided for review and consideration.
Discussion items included, placement of private offices in the center of the floor plan to
allow more window availability; basement build out and cost options; exterior options;
functional aspects of the plan, possible lease alternatives to generate revenue; exterior
. location of mechanical equipment; actual footprint of building and land required (3 acres
for access and building); driveway location and development; and limiting impact on the

.
area to preserve its natural state.
Mr. Vesterholt sought additional direction from the City Council, stating this was simply
the schematic design. Allowing for summer construction start, he and his staff would
need direction by mid-January at the latest to proceed with design development,
construction documents, bids, and construction start in Mayor June of 1998 if possible,
pending site acquisition. Mr. Vesterholt stated there would still be some winter
construction required, with an eight (8) month construction schedule being conservative.
Greg Brown, the City's consulting engineer with BRW, Inc. suggested that Rice Creek
Watershed District be consulted regarding the storm water run-off requirements of the
northeast quadrant of Hamline/Highway 96.
Mr. Fritsinger stated Mr. Brown and Mr. Stafford would be meeting in the very near
future to discuss the location of the utilities in the area.
Mayor Probst stated that, in numerous discussions with the National Guard, there
appeared to be no site contamination in the immediate area to consider in the planning
staged, and that only the relocation of the fence appeared to be an item for discussion and
consideration. .
Councilmember Malone requested that Mr. Vesterholt provide staff' with 8-1/2" x ll" floor
plans to be forwarded to the City Council for their review.
Councilmember Aplikowski expressed concern regarding the size of the offices, and the
necessity of ensuring they were functional for staff.
Mayor Probst addressed the seating area of the Council Chambers (50), and added that
the lobby area can serve as overflow space if necessary.
b. Highway 96 Discussion with MnDOT and Ramsey County representatives
Jim Tolaas, Ramsey County Public Works, Bob Brown, MnDOT State Aid Engineer, and
Gary Erickson, BRW, Inc., consulting engineer for Ramsey County, were in attendance
to review some of the broader issues related to the Highway 96 and Highway 10
intersection. This additional meeting had been requested as a follow up to previous
meetings with County representatives to review issues related to the broader and future
long-range transportation plarming for Arden Hills and the surrounding communities.
Mr. Erickson had prepared three configurations for the grade/interchange locations of
Highways 10 and 96, and TCAAP access, and their related impacts,
Discussion items included, location of traffic signals; single-point diamond access;
cornpletion of Highway 118 from Highway 610 to I-35W to replace the existing Highway .
10; existing and projected traffic volumes on I-35W; long-range plans by MnDOT to

work on the interchange at 1-694 and Snelling Avenue; the interchange at I-694 and 1-
35E; adding an additional lane to I-35W as far south as Highway 10; and TCAAP
development and impact.
Mr. Brown stated these concepts, as presented by Mr. Tolaas and Mr. Erickson provided
a good visual of possibilities, but it was hard to predict the future regarding the
interchange at Highways 10 and 96. Mr. Brown stated MnDOT was not asking the City
to solve their problems, but it was incumbent on all of us as public entities to consider
long-term development, such as TCAAP.
Mr. Fritsinger asked Mr. Brown what Mn/DOT was planning as far as impact on TCAAP
development with their completion of Highway 118, specifically the impacts on County
Roads I, H, at the "spaghetti junction." Mr. Brown responded that MnDOT has not
studied those transportation impacts yet.
Mayor Probst sought Mr. Brown's interpretation of MnDOT's immediate and future
response to cost-sharing on the project with Ramsey County and the City on the
interchange and land acquisition.
. Mr. Brown was not firm in his commitment to any direction currently under
consideration by the County or the City, and stated those issues would need to be studied
by MnDOT.
Further discussion ensued regarding the timing of the project to facilitate design work by
Ramsey County; availability of funds; requested support of MnDOT in consideration of
the City and County taking time to relieve pressure on the larger transportation area and
not isolating the issue in Arden Hills.
Mr. Brown stated that the bigger picture certainly made the investment more attractive
and the overall package becomes more attractive, but was unwilling to commit to any
study of these plans.
Mayor Probst suggested that, with the City needing to consider the I-35W and Highway
96 interchange now while Highway 96 is being reconstructed through Arden Hills,
MnDOT participation was imperative to the City and County as soon as possible. Mayor
Probst requested that MnDOT consider other options for connections, both short-term
and long-term.
Mr. Brown reiterated that it was the City's option.
. Mayor Probst asked Mr. Brown if MnDOT had planning dollars to spend, and suggested
that the City was ready to do this planning immediately for the future of the community
and surrounding transportation needs.

.
Mr. Brown committed to work with Ramsey County to pursue future planning.
Additional discussion items included, pedestrian and bikc trail issues; additional traffic
on Lexington and Hamline Avenues; and County Road H-2,
Mayor Probst again stated the reason for this meeting request, stating the City doesn't
want to lost their existing multi-directional access to Highway 10 due to a grade
separation, and questioned Mr. Brown on his suggestions on how the City should
proceed.
Mr. Bro"-l1 acknowledged Mayor Probst's purpose for the meeting, and stated he thought
the City and County should move ahead with their options to provide such input to
MnDOT regarding whether or not to pursue a grade separation, or leave the plan as is.
Mr. Brown suggested that the City consider maximum opportunity with minimum waste.
After further discussion, Council directed staff to seek more information by directing the
City's independent engineer to review short and long-term considerations, cost
implications, broader land use issues, and provide this information to the Council at the
January Worksession. Some discussion took place regarding seeking input from
residents at the Town Hall meeting. .
Mr. T olaas responded that he would wait for additional City input prior to proceeding
with one of the three designs currently under consideration.
c, Codification. Chal)ters 1 - 10
Mr. Fritsinger introduced review of the city code chapters being revised, and suggested
the Council use his memorandum as a starting point to begin their second review of as
many chapters as time allowed for that evening. Mr. Fritsinger stated he would like to
review additional chapters at the January Worksession, reserving February for the final
draft's review and return the draft to the LMC for final preparation.
Mr. Fritsinger reviewed and received Council and staff comments on Chapters 1 through
3 of the Code.

UNFINISHED AND NEW BUSINESS
A. Resolution #97-60, Clarifying Final Sums of Money to be Levied for Levy Year
1997, Payable in 1998
Mr. Terry Post, City Accountant, noted the information presented to the Council identifies the
proposed levy discussed in earlier hearings held by the Council. In discussions held in previous
hearings, the Council indicated it was comfortable with this amount. This resolution clarifies the
final sums.
MOTION: Councilmember Malone moved and Councilmember Aplikowski seconded a
motion to adopt Resolution #97-60, Clarifying Final Sums of Money to be Levied
for Levy Year 1997, Payable in 1998. The motion carried unanimously (5-0),
B. Resolution #97-61, Accepting the 1998 Final Budget .
Mr. Post provided information to the Council regarding the 1998 budget. He presented a brief
overview of significant changes from the preliminary to the proposed budget as follows:
1. The 1998 Pavement Management Program (PMP) General Funds Costs of
$196,200 (preliminary figures were $192,00) are now consistent with the project
scope discussed at the December 8, 1997 Council meeting.
2. Planning Consultant fees have increased $8,000 to reflect possible scope change
orders on the Comprehensive Plan update project. The $8,000 grant from the
Metropolitan Council to fund this activity is also reflected as a 1998 General Fund
revenue source.
3, A new Debt Service Fund has been created to reflect a planned $3,050,000 bond
issuance for Gateway public improvements. Earlier, it was assumed that this
issuance would occur in 1997.
Mr. Post noted the schedule provided to the Council for informational purposes. He indicated he
would answer any questions the Council might have, due to the fact he was not present at the
presentation of the preliminary budget.
Mr. Post pointed out Attachment A within the Special Revenue Funds. Of the $176,275 .
expenditure in the Cable TV fund, $150,000 is being used as a funding source for the City Hall
facility.

Mr. Dwayne Stafford, Public Works Superintendent, indicated the reason for Changc Order No.
2 was the grade change ofthe roadway. The mass grading was originally planned to be
completed by the developer. The rcvised project plans require that approximately 18,000 cubic
yards of soil be imported to construct the roadway. In addition, City staff has added 5,000 cubic
yards of imported fill material to the contract in order to replace poor materials encountered
during the excavation for the deep sanitary sewer. Mr. Stafford indicated the City Engineer
recommends approval of Change Order #2 in the amount of$193,726.50. Mr. Stafford
indicated much ofthc costs are incurrcd in transporting the materials to the site.
Mr. Brian Fritsinger, City Administrator, noted most all of the costs have been previously
discussed and are issues that were understood going into the project.
Councilmembcr Hicks asked for clarification. Mr. Fritsinger noted the costs were due to the
change in the grade and not part of the original estirnate.
. Mayor Probst inquired if the Change Order was on a unit basis. Mr. Post indicated it was.
MOTION: Councilmember Hicks moved and Councilmember Keim seconded a motion to
approve Change Order #2 in the amount of$I93,726.50 The motion carried
unanimously (5-0).
2. Lametti & Sons, Pay Estimate #1
Mr. Stafford indicated the City awarded Lametti & Sons, Inc. the Gateway Business District 14th
Street Northeast project and approved Change Order #1. Mr. Stafford noted Lametti & Sons has
performed clearing and grubbing work and is currently constructing the sanitary sewer main
along proposed 14th Street.
Mr. Stafford indicated the City Engineer recommends Council approve Pay Estimate #1 for
Lametti & Sons, Inc. in the amount of$90, 171.43. He noted a retainage of 5% is being held for
the proj ect.
Mr. Post advised how this item would be temporarily internally funded since bonds have not yet
been issued.
MOTION: Councilmember Malone moved and Counci1member Aplikowski seconded a
. motion to approve payment of Pay Estimate #1 to Lametti & Sons, Inc. in the
amount of $90,171.43. The motion carried unanimously (5-0).

ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL - DECEMBER 15. 1997 4
3. Sales and Purchase Agreement/Statement of Intent, N aegele/Morris
Communication Corporation .
Mr. Kevin Ringwald, Community Development Director, indicated the Council initially
reviewed the Sales and Purchase Agreement with Morris Communication Corporation (aka,
Naegele) in September, 1997. Morris subsequently rejected the agreement as a result of the
changing nature of this project.
Mr. Ringwald indicated after numerous meetings with Morris, Stafffeels the proposed agreement
is as close as they are able to reach to a document which meets most of the City's objectives. He
noted the Statement ofIntent and Sales and Purchase Agreement has been approved by Morris
officials. These document have been altered significantly and, as a result, the Council is being
asked to review them once again. He noted the basic points have not changed.
Mr. Ringwald reviewed the changes. He pointed out Morris has requested that the language be
made more specific to each sign. Specifically, the height restrictions. The incorporated language
is such that it will allow the signs to be raised to the heights identified in the Sales and Purchase
Agreement, which notes up to a 10-foot increase to Billboard #3 and up to a 20-foot increase to
Billboard #4, Mr. Ringwald did note that it is the intent of both parties to work with other parties
to try and reduce these increases. It is most beneficial and profitable if the signs remain at the
current height, but if there are conflicts, they would like some flexibility.
Mayor Probst inquired as to what effect it would have on the process if the Council made .
substantial changes. Mr. Ringwald indicated it would halt the process and Morris would again
need to rcview it. Mr. Ringwald indicated he did not believe there was more to gain by
additional changes. He stated he was confident Staff and the City Attorney have reviewed the
documents and made as many changes as Morris would accept.
Mayor Probst inquired if the Statement ofIntent was exclusive. Mr. Fritsinger indicated the City
was not bound exclusively to Morris, and the City Attorney had assured Staff there was
flexibility in the documents,
Councilmember Hicks noted, for clarification, it would not be in the best interest of Morris to
absorb the cost of raising the signs if they were going to sell the property. Mr. Ringwald
indicated that would be true, but Morris is not intending on selling the portion of property where
the signs are located.
Mr. Ringwald indicated he wished to present the worst case scenario for the Council. The
Council needs to be comfortable with the possibility of the signs being raised. Morris does not
wish to raise the signs, due to profitability, but if they are unable to work with surrounding
property owners regarding trees and other obtrusions, they want to have the flexibility to raise the
signs.
Mayor Probst indicated he did not feel comfortable with the agreement and would like to see the .
previous agreement. He understood the changes to be only those mutually agreed to but he was
hesitant to approve the agreement. Mr. Ringwald noted that page 12 of the document does
--
f ';:\ 11\ ~ 11
U' ;U~
\~) f..\
U" 1f\) i... U
ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL - DECEMBER 15 1997 'u 5
. indicate "mutually agreed changes." So, any further changes would have to be mutually agreed
to by both parties.
Mayor Probst expressed concern for raising the height on Billboard #3. Mr. Ringwald indicated
their consultants have expressed the same concerns but, with the visual effects of trees, etc. they
want some flexibility. Mr. Ringwald assured the Council if there was an option to strengthen the
language in the agreement, Staff explored it.
Councilmember Aplikowski concurred with Staff to bring this issue to a close and prevent any
further attorney's fees.
MOTION: Councilmember Aplikowski moved and Councilmember Keim seconded a
motion to approve the Statement ofIntent and Purchase Agreement with Morris
Communication Corporation substantially in the form presented, subject to
nonsubstantial changes being approved by the City's Attorneys and City
Administrator, and authorize the Mayor and City Administrator to execute all
necessary documentation. The motion carried (4-1). Mayor Probst opposed.
4. Sales and Purchase Agreement, Welsh Development Company, LLC
Mr. Fritsinger indicated Council previously approved the Sales and Purchase Agreement with
Welsh. Since that time, substantial changes have been made to the agreement and Staff would
. like the Council to review these changes.
Mr. Fritsinger pointed out the change in site plans and explained discovery from construction and
financing requirements have caused many issues. During this time, Welsh representatives raised
the issue of not having sufficient financing to deliver $311,115 in cash or certified check at
closing. They proposed having an immediate write down to $49,710 at the time of closing. City
representatives objected to this proposal.
Mr. Fritsinger indicated Staff negotiated additional language under Section 2 of the agreement
which meets the spirit of the original purchase price and addresses both party's concerns, giving
the City a check of $49,000 at the time of closing and obtaining a note from Welsh, along with a
personal note from the president of Welsh.
Mayor Probst inquired if this was just a mechanism to make what the City had agreed to work.
Mr. Post indicated that would be correct. Mayor Probst asked ifthere was any concern that
Welsh would finance the balance. Staff did not have any concerns.
Council member Malone indicated it was already guaranteed the money would be spent on the
brick and, basically, the value of the property had increased from the assessed value. Mr. Post
stated he would concur.
. Councilmember Hicks commented on the good job which Staff had done to ensure the safety of
the investment of the City.

5. Planning Case #97-06, Welsh Companies, Final Plat Extension
Mr. Ringwald indicated given the delays on the developer's side and on the City's side, the date
to record the plat slipped by both parties. It is anticipated that the plat will be recorded within
the next 60 days.

part of the Local 49 negotiations.
MOTION: Councilmember Malone moved and Councilmember Aplikowski seconded a
motion to approve 1998 Pay Plan. The motion carried unanimously (5-0).

individual salary increases.

Mr. Ringwald indicated Staff recommends the Council approve the expenditure of up to $8,292

expenditure is slated for 1997 and must be spent in 1997. Staff is hoping to have all issues
resolved shortly. Staff is also looking at future concerns regarding someone to field
troubleshooting for the system once in place.

COUNCIL COMMENTS .
Councilmember Malone inquired as to the Salt operation. Mr. Fritsinger indicated he was unsure
as to what has happened, but all salt is contained on the property of the business and they have
been operating within their right-of-way. Councilmember Malone posed the question if the City
should do occasional weight checks on vehicles to protect the City roadways,
Councilmember Aplikowski inquired if, in the upcoming City newsletters, comments from the
Youth Coalition, could be contained. Councilmember Malone expressed concern for any
comments or prose that would over step the bounds of government, any expressions of religious
items, etc. He would just caution the Council.
Councilmember Aplikowski inquired regarding the presentation on the City Hall and Alliant
Technology and where does everything stand in Washington. Mr. Fritsinger indicated Staff is

position related to the Arsenal. The City has been a participant in the discussions and will
continue to be a player.

DATE: January 5, 1998
TO: M,yo< "d C;<y C",,;1 ~
FROM: Kevin Ringwald, Community Development Directo
SUBJECT: Agreement for Curbside Recycling Services - 1998 an 1999
Relluest
The City Council is requested to authorize the Mayor and the City Administrator to execute the
curbside recycling services agreement (I 998 and 1999) with E-Z Recycling (Exhibit A).
Back!!:round
Attached to this memorandum the City Council will find the curbside recycling service
agreement with E-Z Recycling for the calendar years of 1998 and 1999, which has been executed
by E-Z Recycling. The contract would continue weekly service for the City at the same price it
paid during the 1996- I 997 contract period, which was $4,714 per month.
. As the City Council will remember, in the 1996-1997 contract the City modified the payment
structure from a tonnage formula ($85 per ton) to a set monthly cost ($4,714 per month). The
1996-1997 contract, through November of 1997, has saved the City $10,394.05 from the
previous contract arrangement (Exhibit B). Also, the new payment structure has allowed the
City to more accurately predict the costs ofrecycling for budgeting purposes.
Budget Impact
The City's 1998 budget anticipated no increase in the cost for recycling services in 1998. The
proposed contract provides for no increase in cost for those recycling services.
Recommendation
Authorize the Mayor and the City Administrator to execute the attached curbside recycling
service agreement with E-Z Recycling for the calendar years of 1998 and 1999.

e CITY OF ARDEN HILLS
MEMORANDUM
DATE: January 5, 1998
TO: Moyo< on' ClOy C"ndl k>(-'
FROM: Kevin Ringwald, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: 1998 Animal Control Contract
Rcquest
The City Council is requested to authorize the Mayor and the City Administrator to execute the
1998 Animal Control Contract with Anima! Control Services, Incorporated (Exhibit A).
Background
Attached to this memorandum the City Council will find the 1998 Animal Control Contract, as
executed by Animal Control Services Incorporated (ACSI). ACSI has contracted with several
communities, those communities are: Little Canada; North Oaks; Shoreview; Vadnais Heights;
and White Bear Township. The costs associated with this contract are the same for all of the
e participating communities.
The 1998 contract provides three hours of patrol per week (paragraph II, A), which is consistent
with the 1997 contract. The Staff has requested that the City be billed monthly rather than bi-
weekly which ACSI has agreed to (paragraph 12). Lastly, the Staff has requested the contract can
be canceled with 30 days notice, rather than 60 days which ACSI has agreed to (paragraph 15).
These two modifications would bring this contract into conformance with other contracts that the
City is negotiating.
The costs associated with the 1997 contract (paragraph 1 I) are as follows:
Scrvice 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 Cost
Cost Cost Cost Cost (% increase from 1994)
Price per hour for Patrol $20.80 $20.80 $21.25 $21.25 $23.00 (I0.58%)
Price per call $48.50 $48.50 $49.50 $50.00 $51.50 (6.19%)
Animal boarding per day $9.10 $9.30 $9.60 $10.00 $11.00 (20.88%)
Cat disposal $16.00 $16.50 $18.00 $19.00 $20.00 (25.00%)
dog disposal $19.00 $19.50 $20.00 $21.00 $22.00 (15.79%)
.
---------- ------
.. -
.
In analyzing the ACSI costs for providing these services, the cost to Arden Hills have increased
by $9.50, since 1997. This cost increase was calculated as follows: e
Service 1997 Cost 1998 Cost
Price per call $50.00 $51.50
Animal boarding per day $50.00 ($10 for 5 days) $57.00 ($11 for 5 days + $ 2 fee)
Cat disposal $19.00 $20.00
Total $119.00 $128.50 (7.98% increase)
Budget Impact
The City provides a specific allocation for this account (101-42100-3150) in its annual budget
($7,000 in 1996, $5,500 in 1997, and $6,500 in 1998). The Staff has worked closely with ACSI
to ensure compliance with this allocation in 1996 and 1997. It is the Staff's intent to continue to
maintain tight fiscal control over the release of funds in this contract.
Recommendation
Authorize the Mayor and City Administrator to execute the attached animal control contract with
ACSI for 1998.

IMPORTANT: FOR YOUR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION
Via facsimile and U.S. Mail
Mr. Brian Fritsinger
City of Arden Hills
1450 W. Hwy 96
Arden Hills, MN 55112
Dear Mr. Fritsinger:
. On October 23, 1997, I sent to you an Ordinance Amendment providing for the extension ofthe
cable television franchise. Although I have only received a copy of your adopted extension from
half of you, I assume you have extended your cable franchise until January 19, 1998, as
recommended.
Since then, we have been negotiating the final cable franchise with the cable company. Since the
same individuals have also been involved in the extensive review regarding the transfer of
ownership, the company and the Commission have not completed the final documents for city
review.
Enclosed please find a proposed Ordinance Amendment, extending the fraIlchise for an
additional ninety (90) days. The company and the Commission are convinced that it will not
take the full ninety days to finish the negotiation of the documents, but to avoid the city hassle of
adopting another extension, the ninety day time period was agreed to. The extension does not
change the underlying terms of the current franchise, and basically maintains the status quo until
the final new documents are negotiated.
Please adopt the attached Ordinance Amendment and send notification to this office. We will
send you the new negotiated franchise ordinance as soon as the Cable Commission has reviewed
and approved it.
.
-----
- '.
Ifyoll have any questions, please feel free to contact me. e
In summary:
1. The cable franchise expires on January 19, 1998 (assuming you adopted the extension).
2. Attached hereto is an extension of the franchise ordinance to April 20, 1998.
3. Please adopt the attached.
4. Please send a copy of the adopted Ordinance Amendment to my attention.
Sincerely,
BERNICK AND LIFSON, P.A. I

. MEMORANDUM
DATE: December 24, 1997
TO: Brian Fritsinger, City Administrator ~
FROM: Cindy S. Walsh, Parks and Recreation Direct~
SUBJECT: Resolution # 98-05 Rice Creek North Regional Trail Corridor Master
Plan
Background
The Rice Creek North Regional Trail Corridor includes land in Anoka and Ramsey Counties.
This Master Plan covers a 4.75 mile section of the corridor that is located in Ramsey County.
The County must receive approval to acquire or develop property within the municipality by the
City Council. Resolution 98-05 gives approval to Ramsey County for the Master plan.
Arden Hills Section of the Corridor
The Rice Creek North Corridor has been designated as a "Regional Trail Corridor" by the
Metropolitan Council. As designated by the Metropolitan Council, "Trail corridors are intended
to provide for recreational travel along linear pathways throughout the Metropolitan Area. They
. are selected to follow natural or manmade features that traverse areas of scenic appeal and/or
historical, architectural and developmental interest. The regional trails are selected to pass
through, or provide access to, elements in the regional park and park reserve system. The parks
and park reserves perform the important function of offering places for parking, comfort
facilities, safe water supplies, etc. Trails are also selected for their ability to intersect with local
trail networks and with the regional trails functioning much like regional highways that
interconnect with more local arterial and collector streets."
The Arden Hills section is referred to the TCAAP area. Maps of the trail corridor as it passes
through TCAAP are found in the Master Plan supplied by Ramsey County.
Staff Review
Staff initially reviewed the draft copy of the Master Plan several months ago. Staff provided
several revisions or corrections which have been incorporated into the plan. City staff has not
identified any significant issues of concern with this final plan. The City Council may wish to
consider discussing the timing of the project with Ramsey County.
The enclosed document from the County identifies the development costs for this project on page
IX-12. The Council should note that the proposed cost for the I-35W bridge segment is
$500,000 for the year 2004. The Council should consider how the excessing of the 49 acres
adjacent to this area by the Department of Army will impact construction of a new bridge at
. County Road H2. There mayor may not be a need to encourage the County to plan for these
expenditures prior to the 2004 date that they identified.

Shoreview City Council Resolution #
(Refer to Appendix A, page ).
E. Units Covered - the Rice Creek North Corridor has been designated as a
"Regional Trail Corridor" by the Metropolitan Council.
"Trail corridors are intended to provide for recreational travel along linear
pathways throughout the Metropolitan Area. They are selected to follow
natural or manmade features that traverse areas of scenic appeal and/or
historical, architectural and developmental interest. The regional trails are
selected to pass through, or provide access to, elements in the regional
park and park reserve system. The parks and park reserves perform the
important function of offering places for parking, comfort facilities, safe
water supplies, etc. Trails are also selected for their ability to intersect with
local trail networks and with the regional trails functioning much like regional
highways that interconnect with more local arterials and collector streets."

.
C. Public Involvement
To date, citizen participation in the planning process generally has involved
phased input from residents of Arden Hills, Mounds View, New Brighton and
Shoreview. This concentration of local input from four communities was due
to three factors:
1. The corridor is located within the corporate limits of the cities of Arden
Hills, Mounds View, New Brighton and Shoreview.
2. Chapter 950, Laws of Minnesota, 1971, states that "Ramsey County
shall not acquire nor develop any real property for open space purposes
without the prior approval of the governing body of the municipality in
which such property is located."
3. The initial municipal approvals for acquisition were granted prior to the
designation of the segments as a regional trail corridor.
The Arden Hills, Mounds View, New Brighton and Shoreview City Councils
and their respective advisory commissions and committees have held
several public meefings and public hearings as part of the local review .
process prior to approval of the initial segment acquisition plans and
subsequent unit master plan.
Copies of the draft master plan and subsequently the approved master plan
will be distributed to libraries so they are readily available for review by
interested residents of communities within the service area of the site. A
news release to local newspapers will inform area residents of the intent and
availability of the plan and encourage citizen review and comment.
D. Supporting Studies
1. Rice Creek Recreation and Protection Concept Plan (November, 1972) _
Report prepared by the Anoka-Ramsey Rice Creek Study Committee as
coordinated by the Metropolitan Inter-County Council.
The report establishes a concept plan to preserve the natural integrity of
Rice Creek, and capitalize on its natural attributes as a base for recreational
opportunities. The Shoreview, Arden Hills and New Brighton/Mounds View
segments were identified as areas that should be acquired for recreation and
protection open space purposes.
.

.
2. Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant (TCMP) Reutilization Committee
Vision For the Future (May 1996)
Report prepared by the TCMP Reutilization Committee presents the
committee's recommendations on the conceptual long-range use for the
TCMP site in anticipation of its reclassification as surplus or excess
property. The specific recommendation pertaining to the Arden Hills
segment suggests that: "the creek corridor should be preserved with
sufficient land areas to protect significant natural resources, provide for
wildlife movement and serve as a segment in the Rice Creek Regional Trail
Corridor including land trails, and further that necessary facility changes
should be made to allow use of the arsenal segment as a recreational canoe
route, as soon as possible".

III. SITE IDENTIFICATION
A. Designation: Rice Creek North Regional Trail Corridor
B. Classification: Regional Trail Corridor (excerpt from Recreation Open
Space Development Guide/Policy Plan adopted by the Metropolitan Council
on November 21, 1985).
1. Function: Regional trail corridors provide opportunities for recreational
level travel between units of the regional system along linear resources
of high quality.
2. Resource and Site Qualifications
a. Regional trail corridors can be located along either natural resource
or man-made features.
b. Regional trail corridors that follow natural resource features should
be of sufficient width to protect such natural features and
accommodate travel modes with minimal disruption of the resource.
. Examples are creeks and rivers, drainageways or tree lines.
c. Regional trail corridors that follow man-made features should be of
sufficient width to accommodate travel modes planned. Examples
are railroad rights-of-way, utility easements, or road rights-of-way.
d. Trailhead facilities should be located within regional parks and park
reserves whenever possible. Additional user support facilities, when
needed, should be accommodated along trail corridors.
3. Location and Distribution
a. Regional trail corridors should be located in or near major population
centers and be readily accessible to metropolitan residents. Location
of specific regional trail corridors depends on their ability to serve
unmet needs for trail activities.
b. Corridors should link regional parks and park reserves.
c. Corridor alignment between regional parks or park reserves should
be determined by the occurrence of natural or man-made features
with suitable characteristics.
d. Corridors should occur where they provide a recreation experience of
high quality within a linear natural resource.
.
II I-I
-------.----
.
4. Resource Management
a. Management should be primarily directed at providing recreational
travel opportunity.
b. Management should be directed at protecting and enhancing natural
resource features incorporated within the corridor.
c. Management should be directed at enhancing visual and aesthetic
aspects of corridors utilizing man-made features to minimize impact
on neighboring property owners and maximize recreation experience
of users.
5. Use
a. Primary trail activities are: hiking, biking, ski-touring, horseback
riding and snowmobiling. Other uses may be appropriate. Multi-
modal and multi-seasonal use should be a primary objective.
b. All-mode use of corridors is preferred. However, three-use segments
may be designated (e.g., hiking, biking, ski-touring). Two use
segments are permitted only when alternative routes for a third use
are available and/or the corridor cannot support more than two uses .
due to physical constraints (e.g., poor soil and slope characteristics,
lack of appropriate surface for retaining snow for ski-trails).
c. Use should be controlled to confine users to trail corridors and
prevent intrusion of incompatible users.
d. Multi-modal use of a corridor should be determined by carrying
capacity of the resource, compatibility of potential trail users, and
compatibility of trail users and adjacent land use.
e. Use by a specific mode should begin or terminate only at a regional
trailhead facility or state or federal recreation land.
f. Trail corridor rules and regulations should be consistent throughout
the regional system.
6. Physical Development
a. Trail design and development should be consistent with accepted
trail standards.
b. Separate trail "tread ways" for different uses should be developed
when necessary.

F. Metropolitan Systems
1. Sanitary Sewer
The trail corridor is located in the North Suburban Sanitary District of the
Metropolitan Council Environmental Services service area. Sewage
from Mounds View and New Brighton discharges into a MCES
Interceptor (#4-NS-524) which runs west to east and passes through a
24-inch diameter force main under County Road H along the northern
edge of the New Brighton/Mounds View segment. Sewage from Circle
Pines, Lexington and Shoreview discharges into a MCES Interceptor
(#4-NS-523) which runs northeast to southwest passing through a 60-
inch diameter pipe through the Shoreview segment on the north side of
Rice Creek.
2. Public Transit
Sections of the corridor are located adjacent to established stops of two
Metropolitan Council Transit Operations express bus routes (35N and
38) and one North Suburban Lines local bus route (Lexington).
a. Metropolitan Council Transit Operations Routes .
1.) Route 35N, which provides express bus service between the
Northtown Shopping Center in Blaine, Mounds View, New
Brighton, Arden Hills and downtown St. Paul has a stop at a
"park and ride" lot at County Road H and U.S. Highway 10,
midway between fhe Arden Hills and New Brighton/Mounds
View segments and a "park and ride" lot at the Mermaid Supper
Club immediately north of the New Brighton/Mounds View
segment.
2.) Route 38, which provides express bus service between the
Minnesota Correction Facility in Lino Lakes, Circle Pines,
Lexington, Blaine, Shoreview, Mounds View, New Brighton,
Arden Hills and downtown Minneapolis, has a stop at a "park
and ride" lot at County Road H and U.S. Highway 10, midway
between the Arden Hills and New Brighton/Mounds View
segments.
b. North Suburban Line Routes
Lexington Route, which provides local bus service between Circle
Pines, Shoreview, Arden Hills, Roseville, Little Canada, Maplewood .
and downtown St. Paul, has its terminus at the intersection of
II 1-10
--
. County Road J and Lexington Avenue adjacent to the northeast
corner of the Shoreview segment.
3. Metropolitan Transportation Routes
The corridor is readily accessible to Metropolitan Area residents via
Interstate Highway 35-W and U.S. Highway 10. These principal through
arterials, which are adjacent to or within one-half mile of the corridor, are
part of the metropolitan area highway network and provide access to
other arterials, and local collector and distributor streets.
4. Metropolitan Development Framework Planning Areas
The corridor is located within the "Developing Area", a subdivision of the
Urban Service Area, The unit has a service area which includes
municipalities within the "Fully Developed Area" and "Developing Area"
of the Urban Service Area and the "General Rural Use Area" of the
Rural Service Area.
G. Present Use
Shoreview Segment - all land within the Shoreview segment is zoned Open
Space (OS). To date, all of the land has been acquired for park and
. recreation purposes by Ramsey County.
Arden Hills Segment - the land within the Arden Hills segment is zoned
either Single Family Residential (R-1) or Limited Industrial (1-1). Generally,
the segment is undeveloped and consists primarily of the flood plain and
flood plain embankment of Rice Creek. The northern end of the segment is
owned by the State of Minnesota, and is an unused part of a complex which
includes the State Patrol Training Center Campus, Driver's License Exam
Station and the Surplus Distribution Center. The southern section is part of
the Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant site and incorporates safety zones
(hazardous fragment distances) for explosive storage magazines operated
by AlIiant Techsystems, a U.S. government munitions contractor.
New Brighton/Mounds View Segment - all land within New Brighton is zoned
Single Family Residential (R-1). All the land within Mounds View is zoned
Conservancy, Recreation and Preservation (CRP). To date, all of the land
has been acquired for park and recreation or county highway purposes and
is in the ownership of Ramsey County. The Rice Creek Watershed District
constructed and maintains a 5-acre desilting pond at the south end of the
segment.

V. JUSTIFICATION
A. Service Area
The trail corridor has a geographic service area that radiates two to three
miles outward from the linear corridor which includes the cities of Arden Hills,
Circle Pines, Lexington, Mounds View, New Brighton, Shoreview, Spring
Lake Park, the southeast corner of Blaine and southwest corner of Lino
Lakes. The service area, which incorporates municipalities in Anoka County
and Ramsey County, has an approximate population of 82,000 based on
1990 census totals.
B. Relation to Other Trail Corridors
The Rice Creek North Regional Trail Corridor (Anoka and Ramsey County
sections) connects the Rice Creek-Chain of Lakes Regional Park Reserve
and Long Lake Regional Park sites, and interconnects with the internal
network of trails within the regional sites. The regional trail corridor
intersects with local off-road bike paths: 1) east-west path on the south side
of County Road J from Ware Avenue to Interstate Highway 35W; 2) north-
south path on the west side of Lexington Avenue from County Road J to
. County Road B-2; 3) east-west path on the north side of County Road I from
Hodgson Road to Silver Lake Road; and, 4) north-south path on the west
side of Long Lake Road from County Road J to Interstate Highway 694.
C. Needs Served
The 1990-1994 Minnesota Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation
Plan notes that trail recreation is becoming increasingly important.
Increased interest in trail recreation is related to the fact that it is a form of
exercise suitable for people of all ages and all levels of physical conditioning,
can be carried out by families, groups or individuals and is usually available
close to home.
As a result of the review and analysis of the following data sources, the
Metropolitan Council has determined that there is a general deficiency of
recreational trails within the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area:
1, area-wide acreage standards,
2. user study of Metropolitan Area parks
3. population projections for the Metropolitan Area through 1990,
4. participation rates and trends of the metropolitan population in selected
activities, and
. 5. location analysis of existing and needed parks.

VI. SITE CONDITIONS
A. Soils - soils within the corridor were formed by glacial ground moraines,
outwash plains and alluvium deposits. For the purpose of general
classification, the soils are grouped into three categories based on their
formation. Refer to maps on pages VI-3 through VI-5.
1. Soils formed dominantly in outwash.
These soils are underlain by fine sand to gravely coarse sand and are
on outwash plains and stream terraces. They range from excessively
drained to very poorly drained, and the terrain is level to steep. These
soils formed under deciduous hardwood forest or prairie.
Soil Series Occurrence
Anoka series - occupies convex positions.
Lino series - occupies depressions, small water.vays and broad
low lying flats.
Lino Variant series - occupies slightly elevated flats and knolls.
. Zimmerman series - occupies convex side slopes.
Zimmerman loamy fine sand (158) - excessively drained, rapid
permeability, low available water content, low natural fertility, low organic
matter content.
Isanti loamy fine sand (161) - very poorly drained, rapid permeability,
low available water capacity, low natural fertility, high organic matter
content.
Lino loamy fine sand (162) - somewhat poorly drained, rapid
permeability, low available water capacity, low natural fertility, low
organic matter content.
Urban Land - Zimmerman Complex (859) - excessively drained, rapid
permeability, low available water capacity, low natural fertility, low
organic matter content.
Udifluvents (1033) - somewhat poorly drained, variable permeability, low
available water capacity, low natural fertility, low organic matter content.
Lino Variant loamy fine sand (1813) - moderately well-drained, rapid
permeability, low available water capacity, low natural fertility, low
organic matter content.
2. Soils formed dominantly in a sandy mantle and underlying glacial till, and
. in glacial till.
These soils are mostly upland soils that formed in about 20 to 40 inches
of sandy aeolian or lacustrine sediments over glacial till. They range
VI-l
from well drained to poorly drained and are nearly level to steep. They .
formed under deciduous hardwood forest.
Soil Series Occurrence -
Markey series - occupies bogs and depressional areas
Rifle series - occupies depressions
Selleyville series - occupies bogs
Seeleyville/muck (540) - very poorly drained, moderately rapid
permeability, very high available water capacity, low natural fertility, high
organic matter content.
Rifle muck (541) - very poorly drained, moderately rapid permeability,
very high available water capacity, low natural fertility, very high organic
matter content.
Markey muck (543) - very poorly drained, moderately rapid permeability,
very high available water capacity, low natural fertility, high organic
matter content.
3. Soils formed dominantly in recent alluvium.
These soils are mostly bottom-land soils that formed in recent stratified .
alluvium and variable textured fill materials on flood plains. They are
nearly level to very gently sloping and somewhat poorly drained. They
formed under hardwood forest on bottom land.
Soil Series Occurrence
Algansee series - occupies flood plains
Chaska series - occupies planes to slightly concave side slopes in
flood plains.
Chaska silt-loam (329) - poorly drained, moderate permeability, high
available water capacity, medium natural fertility, moderate organic
matter content.
Algansee loamy sand (1821) - somewhat poorly drained, very rapid
permeability, low available water capacity, low natural fertility, low
organic matter content.
Udorthents, wet substratum (1027) - variable drainage, variable
permeability, variable water capacity, variable fertility, variable organic
matter content.

B. Hydrology - refer to maps on pages VI-? through VI-9.
1. Rice Creek - a maturing stream typified by a broad floodplain,
meandering channel approximately 25-40 feet wide and 2 feet deep,
stagnant oxbows and laterally eroding banks. Rice Creek is the principal
stream in a 201 square mile watershed that originates at Clear Lake
south of Forest Lake, and flows for a distance of 28 miles southwestward
through an extensive chain of lakes in Anoka County passing across the
northwestern corner of Ramsey County, reentering Anoka County and
emptying into the Mississippi River at Fridley. Sections of the creek
channel have been mechanically straightened in each of the segments.
The creek has a fall of 1-foot per mile north of the Twin Cities Army
Ammunition Plant (TCMP), and an average of 8 feet per mile
southwestward of the TCMP. During seasons of high precipitation, the
creek provides a suitable watercourse for canoeing. The Rice Creek
Watershed District constructed a 5-acre desiiting basin and in-channel
pond between Poppyseed Drive and the Minnesota Commercial Railway
tracks at the south end of the trail corridor (New Brighton-Mounds View
segment). The District removes and disposes of accumulated sediment .
every 3-5 years.
2. County Ditch 1 - a man-made drainage ditch constructed in 1901 that
originates in Marsden Lake in the TCMP and flows northward 1.1 miles
with no tributary branches entering Rice Creek east of Lexington Avenue
(Shoreview segment).
3. Judicial Ditch 1 - a man-made drainage ditch consfructed in 1911 that
originates in the southeast quadrant of the intersection of Interstate
Highway 35W and 95'h Avenue in Blaine. The main ditch, which has five
tributary branches, flows 3.3 miles southward entering Rice Creek from
the west, just north of County Road I (Shoreview segment). The ditch is
in relatively good condition.

E. Topography
Generally, the topography of the corridor can be characterized as a shallow
valley with a relatively broad flood plain. The flood plain (elevation 870-880)
with intermittent oxbows is bordered by short embankments (8% - 12%),
gently rolling plateaus (elevation 890) and steep sided (10% - 30%) knolls
(elevation 900) and ridges (elevation 910). Refer to maps on pages VI-26
through VI-28 .
F. Climate
The seasonal variations in climate are conducive to a year-round variety of
outdoor recreation activities, including the six activity types integral to a
regional park.
Reaional Climate
Average number of days/year below OOF. 15
Average number of days/year above 900F. 6
Mean January minimum temperature 30
Mean January maximum temperature 210
Mean July minimum temperature 610
Mean July maximum temperature 820 .
Annual average snowfall 42.2"
Annual average total precipitation 24.7"
Prevailing wind direction/winter NW
Prevailing wind direction/summer S/SE
Average length of season with recreationally I
sufficient snowbase 100 days
G. Man-Made Features
1. Shoreview Segment - refer to map on page VI-29.
a. Aquaduct - two 60-inch diameter conduits parallel the north side of
County Road I passing along the southern edge of the Shoreview
segment. The St. Paul Water Utility pumps water extracted from the
Mississippi River at Fridley to Charles Lake in North Oaks.
b. Overhead Electric Transmission Line - an overhead electric
transmission line (34.5 KV) passes through the Shoreview segment
following the north-south extended alignment of Schutta Road, then
westward across Rice Creek and along the northern edge of the
Minnesota Highway Department materials storage area. Northern
States Power Company periodically clears the easement of trees
that threaten interference with the power lines. Due to its location,
the transmission line is a moderate visual intrusion.
.
VI-22
----
. Interceptor Sanitary Sewer - a 50-inch diameter east-west flowing
c.
MCES interceptor passes along the northern and western boundary
of the segment at the edge of the flood plain between Lexington
Avenue and Interstate Highway 35-W.
d. Municipal Sanitary Sewer - an 8-inch diameter northward flowing
municipal sanitary sewer main follows the overhead electric
transmission lines and intersects with the MCES interceptor sewer.
e. County Road I - an east-west 24-foot wide improved County Road
separates the Shoreview segment from the Arden Hills segment.
The road is a minor arterial that connects Hamline Avenue with
Interstate Highway 35-W and U.S. Highway 10, and has an ADT
volume of 5400. The County Road I crossing of Rice Creek is a
timber and piling bridge.
f. Trailhead Parking Lot - an interim 10 car gravel parking lot located
west of Lexington Avenue provides parking for trail users.
g. Paved Bikeway - a 1.3 mile 10-foot wide bituminous path,
constructed by the City of Shoreview, runs southwestward from
Lexington Avenue to County Road I with neighborhood access spurs
to Fairview Avenue and Snelling Avenue. The path was constructed
. under a joint powers agreement with Ramsey County to accelerate
development of the regional trail segment. Generally, the path
followed the alignment of an existing dirt service road.
A 0.35 mile 10-foot wide bituminous path runs northward from the
trailhead parking lot through an underpass under Lexington Avenue
at Rice Creek and parallel to the east side of Lexington Avenue to
County Road J.
h. Bridges - four bridges cross the channel of Rice Creek within the
segment (County Road J, Lexington Avenue, and County Road I).
The bridges do not impede canoeing. The road bridge at Lexington
Avenue also has a pedestrian underpass.
i. Farm Building Foundations - foundation remnants from farmstead
buildings (e.g. silo, barn, sheds, house) are respectively located
approximately 500 feet westward of the existing Lexington Avenue
trailhead parking lot, and 175 feet north of County Road I
immediately west of the paved trail constructed by the City of
Shoreview. Archaeologists from the University of Minnesota have
estimated that the farmstead located near Lexington Avenue dates
back to the early-or-mid-20th century, and the farmstead located
near County Road I dates between the mid-19th and early-20th
centuries.
. The remains of the farmstead structures will be further inventoried
and investigated to evaluate their historical significance. Depending
VI-23
on their significance, the foundation remnants may be preserved and .
protected.
2. Arden Hills Segment - refer to map on page VI-3D.
a. Overhead Electric Transmission Lines - an overhead primary
distribution line (12.5 KV) passes through the southern end of the
segment running between base housing and production facilities. A
34.5 KV three phase overhead mainline primary distribution line
passes aiong the eastern edge of the segment parallel to the west
side of Mounds View Road with lateral services to a vacated
production building (Building 189).
b. TCAAP Building 188 - an inactive explosive storage building built in
the 1940's that served as a magazine for small arms ammunition is
locate on the east side of the segment.
c. TCAAP Building 189 - an inactive production building built in the
1940's that housed the manufacture of small arms ammunition is
located on the east side of the segment.
d. Railroad Tracks - an inactive railroad spur that serviced the
production and storage operations at TCAAP Buildings 188 and 189
runs southwest from Building 189 to TCAAP Building 103.
e. Chain Link Fence - a 6-foot chain link security fence surrounds the .
5.5 acre site of Buildings 188 and 189.
f. Parking Lots - a one-acre inactive parking lot is located immediately
east of TCAAP Building 189 adjacent to the eastern border of the
segment.
A 4.75-acre portion of the paved parking lot for TCAAP Building 103
is located in the southeastern corner of the segment.
g. Roadway - a 24-foot wide, .4-mile long paved roadway passes
through the southwestern section of the segment.
h. Abandoned Underground Utilities - underground utility service lines ,
to Building 189 have been taken out of service (abandoned in-
place). The utilities include an a-inch diameter sanitary sewer
(disconnected and mechanically plugged), a 2-inch diameter
gasmain (meter disconnected and line capped), and a 10-inch
diameter watermain (gate valve closed).
i. Creek Channel Gates - mechanically operated, vertically raised steel
rod gates are positioned across the creek channel at the north and
south ends of the segment and at the common boundary between
the TCAAP property and State of Minnesota property. The gates are
a security measure to prevent access to the TCAAP via the creek.
j. Bridges - three bridges cross the channel of Rice Creek (County .
Road I, County Road H and Interstate Highway 35W). Although the
VI-24
. bridges will accommodate canoeing, the bridges at County Roads I
and H have access control gates to restrict access to the TCAAP.
k. Sanitary Sewer - a 24-inch diameter east-west flowing sanitary
sewer main passes through the southwestern corner of the segment
to a connection with the Mounds View municipal sanitary sewer
system.
3. New Brighton-Mounds View Segment - refer to map on page VI-31.
,
a. Overhead Electric Transmission Line - an east-west overhead
electric transmission line (34.5 KV) passes through the southem end
of the segment from Old Highway 8 to Mississippi Street. The
transmission line is located on a 130-foot wide Northern States
Power Company utility easement. Northern States Power Company
periodically clears the easement of trees that threaten interference
with the power lines. Due to the size of the towers and the location
of the easement, the existing transmission line is a significant visual
intrusion.
b. Bridges - Three box culverts and a railway trestle cross the channel
of Rice Creek (existing 1st Avenue N.W., future realignment of 1st
Avenue NW, Poppyseed Drive extension, Minnesota Central Railway
. tracks). The bridges do not impede canoeing of Rice Creek.
c. Realigned Old Highway 8 - the right of way for the Old Highway 8,
, which borders the segment on the east and intersects with County
Road H, will be relocated 500 feet westward of the existing 1 st
I Avenue NW alignment. The current roadbed of 1st Avenue NW
north of the entrance to Township Terrace Mobile Home Park will be
removed and reconstructed as a trailhead parking lot. Old Highway
8 has a ADT volume of 4400.
d. U.S. Highway 10 - a northwest-southeast four-lane wide highway
borders the segment on the east and joins Interstate Highway 35-W
separating the Arden Hills segment and New Brighton-Mounds View
segment. The highway has an ADT volume of 37,000. There is a
signal controlled intersection at County Road H.
e. Interstate Highway 35-W, a north-south four land wide interstate
separates the Arden Hills segment from the New Brighton-Mounds
View segment. The highway has a ADT volume of 81,000. The
highway crossing of Rice Creek is a box culvert. Pedestrian and
bicycle circulation between the two segments currently would be via
County Road H, which has a signal controlled intersection at U.S.
Highway 10.

J. Air and Water Quality
1. Water Quality
During 1994, Rice Creek was sampled at four locations to evaluate fish
and invertebrate habitat and document water quality. One of the
sampling points was upstream of County Road I, east of Interstate
Highway 35W. Water quality evaluation was based on the Hilsenhoff
Biotic Index (HBI) which measured the presence of actual biota living in
the creek (e.g., insects, amphipods and gastropods). The HBI index is a
measure of organic and nutrient pollution which cause lower oxygen
levels which affect the ability of many species of insects to survive.
According to the HBI index, the water quality at the County Road I
sampling location was very poor, indicative of very significant to severe
organic pollution which typically has a detrimental effect on habitat
quality and macro invertebrate populations. However, in this case, the
poor quality invertebrate and fisheries communities may not be due to
water quality conditions, but rather to very poor habitat conditions. The
main problem with the stream reach in the sampling area is that it is
essentially a straight channelized segment with no pools or riffles, and
little streambank vegetation. Comparison of the HBI index at the County .
Road I sampling location to rates for other reference sites in the Twin
Cities Metropolitan Area shows that the HBI sample values are high and
thereby the water quality is comparatively poor. It should be noted that
the Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant is downstream from the
monitoring site.
Ammunition production operations at the TCAAP resulted in the
contamination of groundwater with solvents and heavy metals. Starting
in 1995, TCAAP has implemented "a pump and treat" groundwater
recovery program to purify contaminated groundwater. The nearest
contamination "point source" was approximately 1/2 mile east of Rice 1
Creek. Reportedly, there is/was no associated pollution problems in the
immediate area of the creek.
Storm water runoff from paved surfaces within the corridor (i.e., parking
lots and roadways) will be directed to natural marshes and/or man-made
detention ponds having a 100 year storm event capacity. Such
treatment will promote desilting and nutrient removal, thereby
contributing to the protection of creek water quality. Also, special
measures will be implemented during and after site and facility
construction to effectively prevent any related soil erosion and resultant
pollution problems.

. K. Limits of Development
The site can be subdivided into "development suitability units" based on
respective associations of topography, soil type, vegetative cover, drainage
and wildlife populations.
I Development Suitability units reflect an area's potential to accommodate
specific recreation activities and facilities without degrading the natural
function or inherent character or the resource base. (Refer to maps on
pages VI-52 through VI-54).
Development Suitability
Suitabilitv Unit Resource Activities
1. Suitable disturbed areas, picnicking, day
flatland, open fields, camping, swimming
former house sites, beach, boat launch,
existing recreation parking lots, roads,
areas, sandy shoreline, paved trails, structures,
utility easements. game fields.
2. Sensitive relatively undisturbed trails, day camping
.' areas, typical woodlot
and forest, moderate
slopes
3. Restricted vulnerable and unique interpretive trails
resources and (including boardwalks),
ecosystems (i.e. observation blinds and
marshes, high-quality platforms.
forests, scenic land
features, unique
geologic features,
scarce ecological
associations, wildlife
habitat, severe slopes.)

. Site development should not destroy, damage nor alter any significant water
body, waterway, wetland, woodland or other wildlife habitat within the unit.
Development (location and installation of recreation facilities) should respect
the integrity of the existing natural character of the site and the carrying
capacity of the resource base. Development within the "natural" or
"undisturbed" areas should be limited to interpretive or hiking trails.
Roadways, parking lots, buildings and intense use areas should be located
in and through those areas that already have been disturbed (i.e. dormant
agricultural fields, former homesites, existing dirt roadways), Those
"disturbed areas" not subject to facility development should be restored to a
natural state and subsequently managed as "protection" open space.
The following existing factors will influence site development:
1, Segmenting Roads - County roads (County Roads H and I) and arterial
highways (U.S. Highway 10 and Interstate Highway 35W) are physical
barriers that divide the corridor into three distinct segments. The
separation interrupts the continuity of trail use between segments, and
poses some safety concerns with regard to inter-segment circulation.
2, Box Culverts and Bridges - nine bridges (concrete box culverts, timber
. trestles) have been constructed across Rice Creek within the corridor.
Although all of the structures are of adequate size to accommodate the
passage of canoes during periods of normal rainfall, boulders that have
been placed at the inlets and outlets to slow the flow of water interfere
with the uninterrupted passage of canoes.
Location Use Type Size
County Road J Road Concrete Box Culvert 10' high x 17' lono
Lexington Avenue Trail Timber 20' long

.
VI-55
-------
.
3, Quantity Distance Areas (Fragment Distances) - Federal regulations
require that a "fragment distance" be maintained between all explosive
manufacturing operations or storage locations and the surrounding area,
thereby restricting public access (use and passage) within the area
covered by the applicable quantity distance arcs. The Rice Creek
channel and much of the contiguous floodplain within the Arden Hills
segment are located within such fragment distances from explosive
storage magazines. (Refer to map on page VI-57.) Solutions to such
restricted use include the termination of explosive storage facilities close
to the creek, realignment of the creek channel to the westerly edge of
the floodplain or construction of deflection berms on the west side of the
impacting storage units.
Another issue is the maintenance of site security. Presently, the TCAAP
boundary has a fence enclosure paralleled by a patrol road. Public use
of the creek and site will require extension of the existing fence along
the eastern boundary of the Arden Hills segment.
4, Floodplain - most of the land area in the corridor is located within the
bounds of the floodplain for Rice Creek. Due to its status as a
seasonally flooded "wetland", development within the floodplain should .
be discouraged or kept to a minimum,
5, Old Highway 8 Realignment - during 1997 a segment (1000 feet) of Old
Highway 8 and its intersection with County Road H will be realigned
approximately 500 feet westward of its existing alignment. During 1988,
the Metropolitan Council approved the County's request to exchange the
"to-be-vacated" section of Old Highway 8 (1.95 acres) for an equivalent
section of the Rice Creek corridor, The conditional approval requires the
concurrent construction of a parking lot for canoe access on the
abandoned and exchanged road right-of-way.

. ARDEN HILLS SEGMENT - QUANTITY DISTANCES
, f
RICE CREEK NORTH
, VI-57 REGIONAL TRAIL CORRIDOR
--
. VII. ADJACENT CONDITIONS
A. Natural
1, Shoreview Segment
a, University of Minnesota Property - 205,5 acres of undeveloped land
located northwest of this segment. This site is one of the few
remaining large tracts of undeveloped land located in the city of
Shoreview (presently zoned Underdeveloped UND). As such, it is a
prime candidate for development which probably will include a mix of
warehouse, light manufacturing, office and commercial. It is
expected that the city of Shoreview will be sensitive to the close
proximity of this site to the segment, and will approve a development
plan that is compatible with the adjoining public open space,
2, New Brighton-Mounds View Segment
a, Long Lake Regional Park - a 211 acre regional park is located south
of this segment on the east and south shore of Long Lake. Rice
Creek passes through the north end of Long Lake. As a recreation
. open space site, Long Lake Regional Park provides opportunities for
swimming, picnicking, boating, fishing, day camping, walking, biking
and cross-country skiing. The segment is separated from the park
by a raised railroad right-of-way which is a physical barrier to
interconnecting the internal trail network of the park with the trail
corridor.
B. Man-Made
1. Shoreview Segment
a, Residential Neighborhoods - the north, east and south boundaries of
this segment are bordered by single family residential neighbor-
hoods, including a mobile home park,
b, State of Minnesota Department of Transportation Materials Storage
Area - a 23-acre parcel of land used to store and transfer recyclable
materials, The storage area is not visible from the segment due to
the topography, However, because of the hilly character of the site,
it attracts extensive unauthorized use by all-terrain vehicles, many of
which cross the segment as a means of access.
It is the city of Shoreview's intent to acquire the entire parcel so that
it can be incorporated with the vacated University of Minnesota
. airport site into an overall development plan for a business park I
VII-l
-.-.-.----
office/commercial complex, The primary need for this parcel is to .
accommodate stormwater pondin9 and vehicular access from the
south, In order to provide road access from County Road I, the city
would propose to exchange a part of this parcel contiguous to an
existing scenic easement acquired by Ramsey County along the
southern boundary of the University property, for an equivalent
portion of the trail corridor adjacent to Interstate Highway 35W right-
of-way,
2, Arden Hills Segment
a. Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant (TCAAP) - the east side of the
segment is bordered by a four-mile square munitions and propellant
manufacturing complex owned by the U,S, Department of Defense
and operated by defense contractors (e,g" Alliant Techsystems and
Hercules Aerospace Company), Munitions storage facilities close to
the segment preclude public access into or through the segment.
The TCAAP has been a source of deep groundwater (aquifer)
contamination, Known sites of hazardous source materials are
located in the interior of the site, the closest point-source being
approximately 1/2 mile east of Rice Creek. Hazardous waste
cleanup presently is underway. .
TCCAP Building 103 - housed the manufacture of ammunition
between 1942-1981 contributing to soil and groundwater pollution,
Pollutants included cleaning solvents, paint thinners, degreasers,
lubricating oils, trichloroethylene, xylene and toluene. Today, the
building is used by Alliant Techsystems for the production and
storage of mines, fuses and other weapons.
b, State of Minnesota Property - the State has three facilities that
border the northeast and northwest corners of the segment. The
State Patrol Academy, Conference Center complex and firing range
are located northeast of the segment. A Drivers License
Examination Station and Surplus Distribution Center warehouse is
located west of the segment.
3, New Brighton-Mounds View Segment
a, Residential Neighborhoods - the northeast and southwest
boundaries of the segment are bordered by residential
neighborhoods, including a mobile home park, The abutment of
public park land and private homesites can create a potential for
conflict. It is not uncommon for park activity to impose on the "peace
and quiet" of adjacent properties or for homesite privacy to be
violated by trespassers and park generated litter. Conversely, .
homeowners occasionally encroach on adjacent park land by such
VII-2
---
. actions as dumping yard debris, storage of personal property,
garden cultivation and extension of rear yard play areas,
Park development and management plans should anticipate
potential conflicts and respect the needs and welfare of adjacent
residents. Boundary signing and uniform enforcement of resource
protection ordinances should be exercised,
b, lrondale High School - a 41 acre senior high school campus is
located west of the segment. The school site is not visible from the
segment. It can be expected that students will frequent the readily
accessible segment during and after school hours,
c. Railroad Trackage - a 1 OO-foot wide northwest-southwest railroad
right-of-way (single pair of tracks) defines the southern edge of the
New Brighton-Mounds View segment and separates the trail corridor
from Long Lake Regional Park, The trackage is a low-volume (one
train per day) transfer service line (Minnesota Commercial Railway)
which presently accommodates a light industrial area in Fridley, the
TCAAP in Arden Hills and a lumber company in New Brighton, The
raised right of way is a barrier to connecting any corridor trail with
trails in Long Lake Regional Park and the Rice Creek West Regional
Trail Corridor. The tracks cross Rice Creek on a 53 foot long timber
. trestle,

. VIII. ACQUISITION DETAILS
A. Acquisition Status - the acquisition of all land within the designated
boundaries of the corridor has been completed except for land within the
Arden Hills segment. The proposed boundaries of the Arden Hills segment
reflect the recommendations of the TCAAP Reutilization Committee's May
1996 report ("Vision For the Future"). Final boundaries will be determined by
the Department of Defense surplus land declaration and dispersal plans, and
the city of Arden Hills Land Use Plan.
It is anticipated that, in the near future, the Department of Defense will
classify the "base housing" area (upland between Rice Creek and Interstate
35W) as "surplus". Although this area probably will be designated by the city
of Arden Hills for commercial, office, and/or industrial land use, the eastward
edge of the surplus parcel (western boundary of the trail corridor segment)
could be designated as the alignment for the western half of the Arden Hills
segment trail loop,
Parcel Information (refer to map on page VIII-4),
Parcel Owner Condition Size
. (acres)
Parcel A U,S, Dept. of Defense Undeveloped floodplain
(potential surplus parcel) 113
Parcel B Minn. Dept. of Undeveloped floodplain
Transportation 11
B. Acquisition Problems
1, The land in the Arden Hills segment is the "missing link" in the trail
corridor. Although the land is in public ownership, its current status as
part of the TCAAP property, which is subject to restrictive security and
safety considerations, precludes public use of the designated corridor
segment for recreation trail purpose. Access to the segment has been
restricted primarily because much of the area is within Quantity Distance
Arcs (fragment distances from explosive material storage locations).
Solutions that would mitigate safety and security issues are feasible.
2, The Ramsey County Parks and Recreation Department has initiated the
process to exchange 0.9 acres of public park land within the boundaries
of the New Brighton-Mounds View segment for 3,36 acres of private
property located adjacent to Long Lake Regional Park, (Refer to map on
. page VIII-5,)
VIII-l
~--
u ---- --------
The proposed land exchange will be mutually beneficial to both parties .
and is consistent with the "no net loss of park land" provision of the
Ramsey County Home Rule Charter.
The 0,9 acres of park land consists of two undeveloped residential lots.
Located at the periphery, this land is not an essential part of the trail
corridor. Acquisition of the 3,36 acres of private land will prevent future
development that could have a negative impact on the regional trail
corridor and Long Lake Regional Park, The land is visually an integral
part of the large group picnic area and compliments the park's natural
landscape features. Specifically, the land will protect the integrity of a
significant outward view from the large group picnic area and vantage
points along a trailway, thereby enhancing the overall quality of the park
and trail user's experience,
C. Acquisition Policies
The following acquisition policies are included in Ramsey County's
Comprehensive Plan as adopted by the Board of Ramsey County
Commissioners on December 8, 1991 (Resolution #80-1198),
1, Ramsey County shall receive approval of its land acquisition proposals
from the governing body of the municipality in which the respective .
projects are located.
2, Ramsey County shall not cause the removal of any owner from his/her
residence in an existing habitable dwelling, unless said dwelling or its
occupancy threatens the public health, safety or welfare, However, an
owner occupant can request the County to initiate its eminent domain
authority as a means to resolve an equitable purchase price, In such
cases when acquisition of large acreage owner occupied land is required
for public open space purposes, a plot which includes the dwelling and is
consistent with local zoning ordinances shall be deferred from said
acquisition,
3, Ramsey County shall make reasonable efforts to acquire land by
negotiated purchase prior to utilization of the power of eminent domain,
Negotiations for the acquisition of open space shall be based upon
values established by qualified real estate appraisers.
4, Ramsey County shall ensure that the use of all lands acquired for open
space purposes will remain consistent with those purposes in perpetuity,
except when portions of said open space are required for the alignment
of public service systems, provided such systems are compatible with
the County's intended use for the respective areas and are not .
detrimental to the immediate environment.
VIII-2
------------
. 5. Ramsey County shall establish site selection criteria and a priority
classification for proposed sites and land parcels in order to implement
an orderly and meaningful acquisition program and ensure maximum
benefits from expenditures for open space purposes.
6, Ramsey County shall acquire those sites and parcels that satisfy
prescribed site selection criteria, and are critical to the protection of
natural systems or the provision of recreational opportunities,
7. Ramsey County shall participate in the cost of public improvements to
the extent of its full-fair-share based on a linear front foot assessment
and direct benefit to adjacent County property, Ramsey County
reserves the right to appeal all unreasonable or excessive assessments
and to negotiate the manner of determining such assessments and costs
which may be disproportionate to the benefits received,
D. Financial Sources
It is anticipated that funds for the acquisition of the remaining parcels will be
provided through the Metropolitan Council Regional Open Space Acquisition
Grant Program,

. IX. DEVELOPMENT DETAILS
A. Expected Use/Activities - the trail corridor will provide for the following
recreation and protection open space functions:
1, Recreation Open Space
a. Trails - canoeing, biking, walking, jogging, in-line skating and cross-
country skiing (including trailheads).
b. Pet Exercise Area - unleashed running and training of dogs,
2, Protection Open Space - floodplain protection, steep slope stabilization,
waterfowl and wildlife sanctuary,
B. Concept
Refer to Development Concept Plan on page IX-4.
C. Facility Description
Generally, the Rice Creek North Regional Trail Corridor is a natural
greenway that runs between the Rice Creek-Chain of Lakes Regional Park
. Reserve in Uno Lakes and Long Lake Regional Park in New Brighton
following the channel and floodway of Rice Creek, Although the corridor is
linear by nature, it is physically divided into three distinct segments by
intersecting roadways.
The rolling grasslands, wooded patches, winding creek, broad floodplain and
pocket marshes of the contiguous segments provide an interesting and
aesthetic mosaic for the trailway. This multi-use trail corridor will provide
recreational trail opportunities for canoeing, biking, walking, jogging, in-line
skating and cross-country skiing, In addition to the terminal trailheads at the
Rice Creek-Chain of Lakes Regional Park Preserve and Long Lake Regional
Park, three intermittent trailheads will be provided at segment perimeters off
Lexington Avenue, County Road I and Old Highway 8,
Proposed site development will not destroy, damage nor significantly alter
any wetland, woodland or wildlife habitat. Except for the immediate paved
trailway and trailheads, the corridor will be managed in a natural or
"unmanicured" condition.
The following description is based on the scenario that the Arden Hills
segment will be acquired and all "fragment distance" restrictions will be
waived or mitigated,
.
IX-l
.
1, Canoeing
The winding creek channel will provide a 4,75-mile long canoeing
experience from the trailhead on Lexington Avenue (Shoreview
segment) to the north end of Long Lake (New Brighton-Mounds View
segment), Starting at the canoe launch on the southwest side of Peltier
Lake (Rice Creek-Chain of Lakes Regional Park Reserve), the total Rice
Creek canoe route is approximately 17 miles long to Manomin County
Park on the Mississippi River with the Rice Creek North Regional Trail
section being approximately 13 miles.
2, Biking - refer to maps on pages IX-4, IX-5, IX-9 and IX-10.
A 4,5-mile long (10' wide) bituminous path for biking, walking, jogging '"
and in-line skating will run from the intersection of County Road J and
Lexington Avenue in Shoreview to the north end of Long Lake Regional
Park where it will interconnect with the trail network within the park and
the Rice Creek West Regional Trail Corridor. The bikeway will also
intersect with local bikeways along the perimeter of the segments on
Lexington Avenue and County Roads H, I and J, The paved path will be
an extension of the a,25-mile trail that will run southwestward through
the Rice Creek-Chain of Lakes Regional Park Reserve to the Anoka- .
Ramsey County line at County Road J and Lexington Avenue,
Under a joint powers agreement between Ramsey County and the city
of Shoreview, during 1997 the city will construct the 1,3 mile bikeway
within the Shoreview segment, including two paved neighborhood spurs
to Fairview and Snelling avenues, (Refer to Appendix A, pages A-1
through A-3,)
A two-mile bikeway loop will circle the Arden Hills segment paralleling
the east and west sides of Rice Creek following the upland edges of the
floodplain. A Cor-Ten steel bridge will provide for the crossing of Rice
Creek southeast of the State of Minnesota property.
Note: During the interim period preceding acquisition of the Arden Hills
segment, local off-road bikeways will provide a temporary connection
between the Shoreview and New Brighton-Mounds View segments.
The local bikeways include points on the north side of County Road I
from Interstate 35-W to Long Lake Road, on the west side of Long Lake
Road from County Road I to County Road H and on the north side of
County Road H from Long Lake Road to Edgewood Drive,
An east-west off-road path will run along the south side of County Road
H from the Arden Hills segment to the traffic light controlled intersection .
with U.S, Highway 10. Depending on the timing, the trail will cross
IX-2
. Interstate Highway 35-W on a detached pedestrian-bicycle overpass or
a reconstructed County Road H bridge that will include bike lanes and a
pedestrian sidewalk,
The off-road paved bikeway will continue 2,200 feet westward along the
south side of County Road H from U,S, Highway 10 to the 3/4-mile
section that winds southward through the New Brighton-Mounds View
segment to the southern boundary of the segment. This section of trail
will connect with the Long Lake Regional Park trail network and the Rice
Creek West Regional Trail Corridor via an underpass under the raised
Minnesota Commercial Railway right-of way. A paved neighborhood
trail access will be provided at the end of Poppyseed Drive,
3, Cross-Country Skiing - refer to map on page IX-6,
A 3,2-mile groomed cross-country ski trail loop will run between the
trail heads in the Shoreview segment.
4, Trailheads - refer to maps on pages IX-4, IX-7, and IX-8
Intermittent trail heads (corridor access points) will be located at three
strategic access points along the corridor. These trailheads will be
located off Lexington Avenue on the east side of the Shoreview
. segment, off County Road I on the south side of the Shoreview segment
and on the northeast corner of the New Brighton-Mounds View segment
off Old Highway 8, The trailheads will provide paved vehicular parking,
satellite toilets, drinking fountains, picnic tables with grills, and
informational signage,
5. Dog Exercise Area - refer to map on page IX-4 and IX-5,
A 14-acre dog exercise area, located in the Shoreview segment
immediately north of the Edgetown Acres neighborhood, wi/I provide a
designated area where dogs will be permitted to be unleashed and
"run free".
Note: Establishment of such an area is a pilot project initiated in 1997,
Continuation or expansion of the service will depend on a positive
experience during the monitoring period (1997-1998),
D. Public Service Improvements - water service lines will be installed at the
three trailheads by tapping into existing municipal watermains,

E. Capacities - based on the scale of the proposed facilities and the carrying
capacity of the resource base, the trail corridor and pet exercise area can
tolerate or adequately accommodate up to 2,260 people throughout a peak
day (holiday or pleasant summer weekend day), inclusive of turnovers,
It is expected that the majority will use the trail facilities within a particular
segment rather than traverse the entire length of the corridor during any
given trip, As part of their experience, many land trail users will access the
corridor by walking or biking from their residences in nearby neighborhoods.

. H. Development Policies - the following Development Policies are included in
Ramsey County's Comprehensive Plan as adopted by the Board of Ramsey
County Commissioners on December 8, 1980 (Resolution No, 80-1198),
1, Ramsey County shall provide a variety of opportunities and facilities
within its designated scope of responsibilities, The facilities shall be of
such quality and in sufficient quantities to satisfy the needs of residents
and users within the service area of the open space sites,
2, Ramsey County shall receive approval of the site development
proposals from the governing body of the municipality in which the
, respective projects are located.
3, Ramsey County shall apply multiple use and multi-seasonal use
concepts to its open space resources and facilities when said practice is
feasible and such uses are compatible,
4, Ramsey County shall prepare and adopt a Five Year Capital
Improvement Program for the Open Space system in order to implement
an orderly development program and ensure maximum benefits from
expenditures. Primary consideration shall be towards providing regional
. facilities and meeting significant system deficiencies.
5, Ramsey County shall design and construct all open space facilities so
that they accommodate modes of public transportation and are
physically accessible to all segments of the population, including the
, aged and the handicapped,
6, Ramsey County shall coordinate the timing of proposed capital
improvements with the availability of public utilities and services.
7, Ramsey County shall implement only those development plans that are
compatible with the tolerances and carrying capacity of the resource
base.
I. Development Conflicts
1, Ramsey County will be receptive to a municipality initiated trail access
spur from the undeveloped area located immediately northwest of the
Shoreview segment. Any proposed access route should follow the creek
crossing alignment of the municipal sewermain that extends north and
westward from Schutta Road,
2. Ramsey County will cooperate with the City of Shoreview in the future
. installation of a sanitary sewer connection(s) from the University of
Minnesota airport site to the MCES interceptor sewer that passes along
IX-13
the northern boundary of the Shoreview segment. Also, the County will .
be receptive to the city's installation of a "looped" watermain from the
existing watermain along Lexington Avenue westward along the northern
edge of the Segment to a connection with the University property and
southward to a connection with the existing watermain system in the
residential neighborhood south of the Segment. It is anticipated that
these public improvements will be undertaken by the City at no cost to
the County,
3, Ramsey County will be receptive to a "no net-loss" land exchange that
will release a 1/4 mile long strip of parkland located adjacent to the east
side of Interstate Highway 35W, northward from County Road I to the
Mn/DOT materials storage area, The land exchange would provide the I
alignment for an access road from the Interstate Highway 35W and
County Road I intersection to any future developments on the currently
undeveloped area located northwest of the Shoreview segment.

Brown, Attached is a memo from Mr. Brown outlining the recommended scope of the
study he feels appropriated and a preliminary cost estimate for the study.

. MEMORANDUM
DATE: December 31, 1997
TO: City C,.nd1 @
FROM: Dennis Probst, Ma 'n .
SUBJECT: City Appointments - 1998
Requested Action
The City Council is asked to consideT the following appointments for calendaT year 1998,
Background
I have contacted, or attempted to contact, the Chairperson of each of the identified
Commission/Committees/Task Forces to confirm their service as Chairperson fOT 1998, These
groups have served the City well in 1997, and I do not have any Commissions/Committees
which, at this time, to which I would recommend substantial changes,
However, there are some issues which warrant additional discussion by the City Council as we
. move into 1998, The City has previously committed to using the Town Hall meeting, Council
and Department Head Retreat, and the Budget process to assist with the establishment of City
project priorities, It may be appropriate for additional task forces to be created in 1998 to
address projects identified as part of the goal setting process, I would ask the City Council to
Teconsider the existing structure of our Commissions/Committees/Task Forces as part of the
1998 Retreat.
The City Council should also note that the professional consultant list is broader than in past
years, As a result of several complex projects in 1997, the City has had a need to use vaTious
firms for additional professional expertise not available with other appointed consultants. Staff
suggested Council consideration of the appointment of these other firms to allow for greateT
selection opportunities, should the need arise.

CITY OF ARDEN HILLS
. MEMORANDUM
DATE: January 2, 1998
TO: M,yo, .,d C;~ Co",,;' @
FROM: Brian Fritsinger, City Administrato
SUBJECT: 1998 Pay Plan - Insurance Premiums
Requested Action
The City Council is asked to consideT an increase in monthly insurance contributions for January,
1998.
Background
In 1997, the City provided all employees (union and non-union) with $310 per month to be
contributed towards the monthly insurance premiums, The monthly insurance pTemiums paid by
employees include health, dental, life, and short-term disability,
As I indicated in my previous correspondence with the City Council, the City received
. significant increases in both its health and dental coverages for non-union employees, Health
insurance increases fOT 1998 aTe 24.2% and dental insurance premiums increased 20.5%, The
City is currently covered through Medica for health, and American Medical Security for dental
mSUTance,
What Did the City Budget for Employee Insurance in 1998?
The City Council has budgeted for each employee to Teceive $320 per month in 1998, In the
case of single employees, the City does not utilize the full $320 per month, The total amount
budgeted for 1998 for non-bargaining unit employees is $53,760, OT $4,480/month,
What is the Cost to Each Employee for Insurance?
For non-union employees, the total cost of insurance varies for those with Family or Single
coverage, The current health insurance cost is driven by age and family status, Dental insurance
costs vary only by family status. The approximate average monthly cost in 1998, including
health, dental, basic life and short-term disability, for Single coverage employees is $191,20.
The approximate average monthly cost for Family coverage is $636,60, These costs assume the
City will continue its coverage with Medica and American Medical Security.
For all I.U.O,E, Local #49 employees, the total cost for health and dental insurance is $325.00;
$10,000 of basic life and short-term disability is an additional $13.10, for a total of$338.10. The
contract settled with the Local #49 for 1998 includes an incTease to $320 per month in
contributions, There is no incTease in monthly premiums for the Local #49, The net, out-of-
. pocket cost for all union employees, both married and single, for the basic insuTance coverages in
- -
Memorandum - 1998 Pay Plan - Insurance Premiums
Page Two .
January 2, 1998
1998 will be $18,10.
How Much ofthe Budgeted Monthlv Insurance Contribution Goes Unused?
Of the $4,480 contribution budgeted in 1998 for non-bargaining unit employees, actual January,
1998 costs for eight (8) of the fourteen (14) employees is $1,619.48, This leaves $940,52 of the
monthly budget unspent/available,
What Is the Status of Health Covera!!e for 1998?
Staff has solicited proposals, or investigated coverage, from Health Partners, Blue Cross/Blue
Shield, the State of Minnesota (PEIP), League of Minnesota Cities, Ramsey County, and several
other options,
Due to the delays in receiving quotes for coverage and the late notice on renewal rates from
Medica, staff elected to continue coverage with Medica for at lease the month of January. While
every employee will experience a rate increase, the decision to continue with medica has a
signiticant impact on seveTal employees. In some cases, this will increase the out of pocket
expense to employees by up to $212/month,
How is Staff Proceeding?
The City Council has discussed insurance coverages in 1996, and most recently at its November .
W orksession. Staff is continuing to evaluate the insurance/benefit package currently offered by
the City. Staff intends to have a recommendation on any changes to its health and dental
coverage available for discussion on January 21, 1997. In oTder to facilitate this work, howeveT,
stair would suggest the following basic changes to our benefit progTam. These include:
1. The City pay the full cost of short-term disability (STD), This is currently
$9,OO/month per employee fOT $200/week coverage,
2. The City pay the full cost of long-term disability (L TD), This is not currently
offered by the City, Costs for such coverage are currently under investigation,
" The City pay the full cost of a basic life insurance package, This is currently
0,
approximately $4. 1 O/month per employee for $10,000 in death benefits,
How Can the City Assist in the Short Term?
The City COlillcil may wish to utilize a portion of the remaining unused, budgeted insurance
contribution to further Teduce the affect of the incTease being experienced, If the City Council
were to do this, using $930 of the remaining unused premium amount of $940,52 would increase
the City's monthly contTibution for the month of January to $475. This, combined with the City
offering to pay for basic STD, L TD, and Life Insurance, would significantly assist those
experiencing huge increases, This appToach would only be utilized until such time that the City
Council formally acts on changes to the overall benefit package,
.

Dear Peter:
On behalf of the City Council and staff, I wanted to thank you and your associates for
your presentation at the December 15,1997 Worksession, Overall, I believe the
presentation was very well-received for a preliminary plan, and I've received some
feedback and comments from staff and Councilmembers since the presentation that we
can discuss at our next meeting,
I have directed our Public Works Superintendent, Dwayne Stafford, and the City's
consulting engineer, Greg Brown ofBRW, Inc. to prepare the information regarding
. utility locations for TCAAP. We should have the information available within the next
two to three weeks,
Also, as touched upon at the Council Worksession and previously discussed by Mayor
Probst and Councilmember ApIikowski at our most recent meeting, we would like to
"unveil" the preliminary plans and site locations at the January 10, 1998 Town Hall
Meeting. It would be interesting to get the reaction of our residents regarding the plan,
and let them see the limited impact proposed for the site,
I've enclosed an agenda for the meeting, and would appreciate you, and whichever
associates you feel would be appropriate, to attend the meeting and display your work to-
date. This is a great opportunity to showcase our community, Please let us know if you
need additional information. or have any questions or needs of us.
Again, thank you for your presentation, and we wish you and your family a wonderful
holiday season~

RE: 1998 Town Hall Meeting
Dear Greg:
On January 10, 1998, the City of Arden Hills will be holding their second annual Town
Hall meeting in Benson Great Hall at Bethel College, The City Council and staff are
excited to haw this opportunity to showcase our community, The gathering also provides
an opportunity for citizens to ask questions of the entiTe Council, or on a one-to-one basis .
with Council and staff. The event is a fairly informal time for mingling with staff each
having a department table for various displays or to provide information useful to our
residents,
We would like to invite BR W to participate in this event. It is our opinion that the
positive image portrayed by your firm would serve to boost the confidence level of our
residents in considering future improvement and planning projects, This avenue would
also allow you an opportunity to find out first-hand what is happening in our community.
City staff will be available at Bethel College at approximately 7:30 a.m.. with the open
house portion beginning at 8:30 a~m. Mayor Probst will address those in attendance at a
short "Town Hall" forum in the auditorium, followed by he and Councilmembers
addressing questions and comments from the public, We're hoping to have a proposed
rendering of the new City Hall facility, and anticipate that this will generate many
comments, along with the proposed reconstruction of Highway 96,
\Ve would be pleased if you could join us for the morning, Please let us know if you will
be able to attend, Thank you for your consideration,

Plannin!!: and Zoning
L Discussion of the regulation of Adult Uses, Pawn and Gun Shops. The Staff and the
City Attorney have been working on the draft ordinances for these uses. The drafts for
pawn and gun shops will be available for discussion with the Planning Commission at
their January 7, 1997 meeting, Given, the recent court decision (Exhibit A) we are re-
tooling the draft adult use ordinance (most adult use ordinances are very similar) to better
position ourselves in light of this ruling~ It is hoped that the adult use ordinance will be
. available at that same Planning Commission meeting.
2. Comprchcnsive Plan update. The Staff has been providing information to the
consultant and recently spent a morning driving them around the City orientating them to
the community. The consultant is planning to be at the Town Hall meeting to interact
with the residents and identify areas of concern with the current comprehensive plan,
Also, the Staff and the consultant will be meeting with our neighboring communities in
early January to discuss areas of mutual interest that can be incorporated into the plan
(ie" trail connections, land uses at the comer of County Road D and Cleveland Avenue,
etc,,), Lastly, the consultant and StatTwill be having a worksession with the Planning
Commission (tentatively January 21st) to firm up the process for the update.

As previously mentioned, the $30+ million in increased building valuation far exceeds
the previous high water mark. I would like thank Dave Scherbel for his haTd work in this
record year and it being his first year of employment with the City, Dave has performed
well in this difficult position in a difficult year.
3. Sign Permits. In December, the City issued no sign permits, The City issued 16 sign
permits in 1997.
Code Enforcement
1. 1875 Lake Lane. The Staff has received cooperation of the landowner of this property
so that we could conduct an inspection of this property. In short, the home is a mess,
Our discussion with the landowner is based upon the clean-up and necessary
structural/mechanical improvements commencing within 30 days,
2. 1369 Forest Lane. The property owner was served on November 26, 1997, Therefore,
the property owner has 20 days (December 16, 1997) to formally Tespond to the findings
. and 45 days (January 10, 1998) to commence corrective actions, The property owner did
not offer a challenge to our findings within 20 days. Therefore, work needs to commence
by January 10, 1998 or the City can exercise its judicial options.
-
3. 4112 Valentine Crest Road. The Staff was made aware of a home occupation through
numerous neighboThood complaints regarding 4112 Valentine Crest Road, The property .
owneT is illegally operating a mobile catering business (brings food to construction sites,
etc,,) from the home, The owner receives the goods via a truck at 2:00 a,m. each morning
(which awakes and disrupts the neighborhood) and does not have the necessary health
permits from Ramsey County and the Minnesota Department of Health, The applicant
applied for a Class I home occupation permit (Staff administered), but the Staff
concluded that a Class II home occupation (Planning Commission/City Council approval)
was required, The homeowner has been ordered to cease the home occupation (via mail
and telephone conversation). Also, Staff has requested that Ramsey County and the State
order similar stop orders to the property owner. Lastly, the Staff has contacted the
neighborhoods representative to inform them of the progress of the investigation,
4. Housing inspector slain on job. Attached as Exhibit B is an article from the Saint Paul
Pioneer Press by Matt Peiken dated December 26, 1997 regarding the murder of Saint
Paul housing inspector Donald Juenemann, Given, thc nature of some of Staffs contact
with thc public it may be appropriate to request the assistance of Ramsey County
SheTiff s office on how to correctly deal with potentially dangerous situations,
Economic DeveloDmcnt
l. Gateway Business District. The Staff is awaiting the signed copy of the agreements
with Morris Communications it is anticipated that the agreements will be here by Friday,
The Staff and Welsh continue to check items on the pre-closing list to insure that a
closing near the end of January can be accomplished, .
As soon as thc City receives, the signed agreements from Morris Communications the
bond issuance can proceed, Further detail on this item will be provided as it becomes
available,
Lastly, this past fall who would of thought that we would be ringing in the new yeaT with
temperatures in the 40's. Needless to say, the construction activities have gotten farther
than we had envisioned and will continue depending upon favorabie weather conditions,
2. Business List. The Business Relations Committee (BRC) has completed an update of the
businesses within Arden Hills using a variety ofresources (Exhibit C). The previous
business list contained 109 businesses the new business list contains 290 businesses, The
BRC will continue to work on improving the accuracy of this list.

CITY OF ARDEN HILLS
. MEMORANDUM
DATE: December 23, 1997
TO: Brian Fritsinger, City Administrator
FROM: G!~-J'
Cindy S. Walsh, Parks and Recreation Director ::J
SUBJECT: December Department Report
Tonv Schmidt Park Redevelopment Task Force
I have been attending all of the Ramsey County Task Force meetings. The Task Force has met
seven times ""ithin the last two months. The task force has reviewed three variations of master
plans for the park and decided on the improvements that they will recommend to the public. The
public review of the plan will be on January 5 at the Army Reserve Center at 7:00 p.m.
Greg Mack, Ramsey County Parks and Recreation Director, will be at the Council work session
on January 20 to review the plan with the City Council. The Planning Commission will review
the plan at their February meeting. Ramsey County is hoping to have the Council approve the
plan at their February 26 meeting.
. Parks and Recreation Commission
The Commission and I met with the residents around Freeway and Lindey's Park areas to discuss
possible upgrades to the park area. The residents gave us some good feedback about
improvements. They will get a new play structure in 1998 and would like to see it constructed
on the bottom half of Freeway Park. They would like the basketball hoop moved up to the upper
portion of the park by the warming shelter. I asked if the residents would like to see the hockey
rink paved for use by roller blades and roller hockey games. They would like to see this
improvement. I will talk further with the Council about paving one or two rinks in the future.
The residents will be invited back in February to assist in selecting a play structure.
The Commission has been involved in the Tony Schmidt Park task force by providing input
through Gregg Larson and Jim Johnson. They will host the January 5 public review meeting
along with Ramsey County's Parks and Recreation Commission.
Kenna Park Propertv
The City does not currently have fee title to the parcel of park land located across from Lindey's.
Council member Hicks has asked Tom Mulcahy to examine the information and possibly help
the City obtain title by meeting with Mr. Kenna. I have provided Mr. Mulcahy with all ofthe
information that I have pertaining to that park parcel.
.
---------- ----
Renaminll Lindev's Triangle Park
I asked the residents if they had any suggestions for renaming the park. They did not, but .
suggested putting something in the newsletter and making a contest out of it. I will let the
Council know if] receive any suggestions.
Round Lake Trail
] am working on an Environmental Assessment Statement (EAS) for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service. We need their approval to construct the trail along the Phase I development since there
was no property obtained through park dedication in that area. They will not be able to give us a
right-of-way permit until March or April. There are apparently a number of steps necessary in
their system to authorize the City to build the trail. I do not anticipate any problems obtaining
the permit.
Federal Emergency Management Allencv (FEMA) Sub-Grant Agreement
I have sent the forms to FEMA that are necessary in order to release our reimbursement money.
I am hoping to receive the money by the end of January.
Park and Trail Comorehensive Plan
I have met with representatives from MFRA to begin the comprehensive planning process.
MFRA will be at the Town Hall Meeting to get comments/suggestions from residents on trails
and park redevelopment as well as other City comprehensive plan issues. Kathy O'Connell from
MFRA will be attending the January Parks and Recreation Commission meeting to get
comments from the members.
Program Update .
The following are highlights of the programs in December:
* The Breakfast with Santa event was a huge success with 100 parents and kids attending. The
participants did a variety of holiday crafts, games and visited with Santa Claus.
* The Hop-n- Tots, Creative Dance, and Tap, Jazz, and Ballet classes had their holiday dance
show.
* The holiday cooking class filled to maximum numbers. Participants baked and decorated
holiday cookies.
* Rink attendants have been hired, but unfortunately are not working due to the nonexisting ice.
* Ice skating clinic for kids ages 4 and up is scheduled for December 29-January 2 (weather
permitting).
* Vacation Day Events are scheduled for December 29- January 2 and include; swimming, roller
skating, and snow tubing.
Maintenance
The Park Maintenance staff keep attempting to make ice for the rinks. The weather is not
cooperating with us. We continue to receive calls from residents asking when we are going to
open the rinks. People just don't seem to understand that freezing is below 32 degrees. The staff
have kept busy removing vandalism from our play structures and trail areas. We have also
sanded, painted, and replaced boards on all of our picnic tables. If the weather continues to be
warm, the staff will begin to take down the old play structure at Freeway Park in preparation for .
installation this spring.
CITY OF ARDEN HILLS
. MEMORANDUM
DATE: December 23, 1997
TO: Brian Fritsinger, City Administrator
FROM: Dwayne Stafford, Public 'Yorks Superintendent D;
SUBJECT: Monthly Department Head Report
The Public Safety Commission did not meet in December. At their November meeting,
Commission members voted not to recommend the City provide street lighting as requested by
members of the North Heights Lutheran and the Ukrainian Orthodox Churches. The
Commission had no objection to the churches providing lighting at their entrances on Snelling
A venue, at the churches expense.
Commission members also voted not to recommend busses be exempt from turning restrictions
on Valentine Avenue as requested by a Ryder employee.
Letters explaining the Commission's decisions have been sent to the churches and Ryder Bus
Company.
. Public Works Deoartment
Public Works Employees have now installed more than 110 CommerciallIndustrial Radio Read
Water Meters. This project continues to go well.
The City experienced one (1) sewer back-up this month, which was minor; however, the affected
resident has asked that the City pay his Rota-Rooter bill, as the plug occurred in the City main
line. The Public Works Superintendent recommends the City pay this bill in the amount of $149,
and Mr. Post and Mr. Fritsinger concurred.
Sewer cleaning of known problem areas and streets slated for re-construction was completed this
month. The superintendent is scheduling televising of the sewers on streets, which may be re-
constructed, as well as North Hamline Avenue. Public Works wants to make sure the odor
problem is not related to a sewer line problem, before making any recommendations to Bethel
College on odor control.
Public Works Maintenance Workers also found time to do some easement clearing this month.
The sewer line running behind commercial/industrial buildings on Round Lake Road had
completely grown over making maintenance nearly impossible. This stretch is now drivable,
having cut and chipped the trees and brush in the easement.
.

A water break on Glenview Court was repaired on December 22, 1997. With the ground around
the break saturated, City workers noticed air bubbling up near the water main break. On further .
investigating it turned out to be an old gas main leak. NSP was called and made repairs, but this
was a lucky find which may have prevented a disaster.
Lametti has nearly completed the sanitary sewer portion of the Round Lake Project, and is
working on backfilling. American Testing is checking the compaction as backfilling is done and
I have let them know how critical their testing is, and would rather spend extra for more tests if
necessary. I expect Lametti will start on the water main installation shortly after Christmas if
weather holds.
The Public Works Foreman and Superintendent have met with two (2) Lift Station Contractors to
get ideas on rebuilding some of our oldest Lift Stations. There was such a variety of options, the
City wants to make sure we do what is best for the long term. Lift Stations #6, which was
converted to today's standards last year is working great.
The City Engineers and Public Works Superintendent re-examined Glenpaul and Edgewater
Avenue's as requested by Council and several area residents. It was determined that Edgewater
A VenLle can justifiably be reconstructed from New Brighton Road to approximately 400 feet
West of Prior Avenue from which point an overlay is suitable, as this is a newer area which has
curb and gutter.
Glenpaul A venue between New Brighton Road and Cleveland A venue is in a similar condition to .
Edgewater Avenue. BRW is going to take some sub-surface soil samples on this street. If
samples indicate a less than adequate road base it may make sense, as some residents indicated,
to remove Glenpaul Avenue from the overlay schedule and reconstruct Glenpaul Avenue at some
future date.
All of the information from last year's sewer televising has been turned over to the City Engineer
to study. He will make recommendations on repair work and costs.
The Public Works Superintendent has met with the Roseville Assistant City Manager and
members of the Lake Josephine Improvements Association in regards to desired ordinances for
Lake Josephine. The Association has since provided the City with a letter identifying their
requests, basically matching the Joint Powers Agreement between Shoreview and Roseville, as it
pertains to Lake Owasso, with the addition of counter clockwise traffic on Lake Josephine. This
is already in the Lake Johanna Ordinance. Copies of the Lake Josephine Improvement
Association request and the new ordinances for Lake Owasso have been forwarded to the City
Attorney for his opinion and recommendations.
