MARCH 30, 1998 7:30 P.M. - NEW BRIGHTON CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS CALL TO ORDERJROLL CALL Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, Mayor Dennis Probst called to order the regular City Council meeting at 7:30 p.m. Present: Mayor Dennis Probst, Councilmembers Beverly Aplikowski, Dale Hicks, and Paul Malone. Absent: Councilmember Susan Keirn. Also present were City Accountant, Terry Post; Community Development Director, Kevin Ringwald; Public Works Superintendent, Dwayne Stafford; Parks and Recreation Director, Cindy Walsh; Consulting Engineer, Greg Brown; and Recording Secretary, Carla Wirth. ADOPT AGENDA MOTION: COlillcilmember Aplikowski moved and Councilmember Hicks seconded a . motion to adopt the agenda for the March 30, 1998, Regular City Council meeting as presented. The motion carried unanimously (4-0). PUBLIC HEARING -1998 STREET IMPROVEMENT PROJECT A. Resolution #98-33, Revising the 1998 Street Improvement Assessment Rates Mayor Probst noted the four items for which public hearings will be held and provided a brief explanation of each. He explained the public hearing process which ",ill be followed and the Council's review of how to handle odd-shaped lots. Mayor Probst opened the public hearing at 7:32 p.m. Mr. Terry Post, City Accountant, explained that on February 23rd the Council adopted a resolution which established a reconstruction assessment rate of$48.85. This was the basis for the public hearing notices which were mailed earlier. He explained that two issues have occurred since the adoption of that resolution. One issue relates to tax exempt property which is included in the project for which staff recommends the Council adopt an exempt property overlay rate for those parcels. Secondly, staff reviewed the cost aspects and recommends that the Council adopt Resolution #98-33 which would revise the 1998 street reconstruction assessment rate from $48.85 to $39.98 per assessable foot, which includes costs for curb and gutter. The proposed resolution also establishes $10.40 per assessable foot (100%) for the tax exempt parcels and . leaves the residential overlay rate as originally proposed at $5.20 per foot. ~ ~~ ~1 , ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - MARCH 30 1998 2 Council member Hicks stated based on his discussion with Mr. Post, this means the City would . be responsible for approximately 50% of the total construction costs and, from that point of view, he supports the recommended change. MOTION: Councilmember Malone moved and Councilmember Aplikowski seconded a motion to adopt Resolution #98-33, Revising the 1998 Street Improvement Assessment Rates. The motion carried unanimously (4-0). Mayor Probst explained the result of this action is a reduction in assessments from $48.85 per foot for reconstruction to $39.98 per foot. All of the non-curb and gutter Surface Water Management (SWM) costs will be paid by the SWM Utility Fund. Councilmember Malone explained the City has a policy to provide a starting point in determining assessments and the philosophy behind that policy is that the other tax payers of the City who are not receiving a street improvement are paying for one-half of the street improvement costs and those directly benefitting pay one-quarter of the cost (if there are homes on both sides of the street). He advised of the formula which considers the front footage for determining the rate to be charged. Councilmember Malone provided a brief explanation of the State Statutes which govern the assessment of improvements based on the value received of the capital improvement based on the highest and best use of the land. Councilmember Malone explained the rate is based on the project footage and anticipated construction costs. The Council then reviews the numbers and takes into consideration special . situations such as unusually shaped lots. He explained that according to State Statutes, the "bottom line" is the Council's determination. Councilmember Malone then read each of the addresses involved in the 1998 Street Improvement Project and advised of the original assessment noticed and proposed reduced assessment to be levied. Deanne Howard, 4057 Fairview Avenue N., asked if there will be any allowance made for underground sprinkling systems that need to be relocated. Mayor Probst stated ifthe sprinkling system is located too close to the curb, it will be the resident's responsibility to relocate the sprinkling system or cover the damage. Mr. Gregg Brown, City Engineer, explained staff will hold a preconstruction meeting with the contractor and any notification to residents regarding irrigation systems or other issues will be provided along with telephone numbers if residents need further information. Residents will also be advised of where the irrigation system nee<;l;\Ji2be moyedto. Mr.Browruo:stimated the project, if approved by the Council, could start mid-May. Dan Coughlin, 8468 Spring Lake Road, Mounds View, stated he just went through a similar situation in Mounds View with similar assessment rates but, after working with a road estimator, they found the cost would be reduced by one-half without curb and gutter. He reported about a contractor who provided a bid at a lower cost per foot than is being proposed tonight. . ~ ~~ ~1 ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - MARCH 30. 1998 3 . Mr. Coughlin stated he previously lived in Arden Hills for several years and is concerned that the residents are being assessed at too high a rate for a reconstruction, as are most municipalities which have a mind set to over build roadways. He asserted this is not being fiscally responsible and urged the Council to instead consider the minimum, cheapest option to construct a road the City can get by with. Mr. Coughlin stated he was facing a $7,000 assessment in Mounds View and believes this is an untenable amount of money. He stated there is something wrong with the concept of overbuilding just for the sake of overbuilding and asserted that this is going on all over the place. He urged the Council to reconsider this project and take the "monkey off the backs" ofresidents who would have to pay for this project. Mike DweIly, 2048 Stowe Avcnue, asked if the bids have already been accepted. Mayor Probst explained the bids have been recei ved but not yet awarded. Mr. Dwelly asked how the Council can know what the rate will be for the assessments. Mayor Probst stated the bids have been received and will be awarded in April so it is known what the rates will be. He explained Arden Hills goes through the assessment process prior to the bid award. Councilmember Malone explained that most cities do the work and then assess based on the project bill. He stated Arden Hills bases the assessment on the construction bid. He noted the average assessment rate is $4,000 but it could happen that the project goes over bid. However, this policy protects residents from unusual cost overruns or increased assessments since the City . would cover the overrun. Councilmember Malone noted the Council can decide not to proceed if they so choose or if they run into an unusual situation. Alan Nielsen, 1895 Edgewater Avenue, stated the road was dug up 20 years ago when the water and sewer were installed and asked why it would be dug up now. He suggested the few potholes on the edges of the roadway just be maintained. Mayor Probst explained the City's policy is to not overbuild roads and to follow a Pavement Management Plan to determine the condition of the roadway. He noted the Council has a fiduciary responsibility to look atier the City's infrastructure and most roadways have a life expectancy 01'20 to 30 years. With the current number of miles reconstructed each year, it is based on a 30 year life expectancy. He explained the City only has a limited number of dollars to devote to road projects and the Council attempts to look out for the City's best long-term interest. Mr. Nielsen expressed concern for retired residents who cannot afford these costs. He stated his, . neighbor is a retired widow who is also unable to cover this cost. Mr. Nielsen reviewed his past work with and contribution to the City of Arden Hills and restated his objection to this project. Mr. Post explained the assessment is due within 30 days if one chose to forego finance charges, but there are other payment options available such as adding to future property taxes for five or eight years, and a disability or senior economic hardship deferral which is available to property owners who fit that criteria. Mr. Post stated he will work with residents who are interested in . that information. - .~ ~ i~ ;~ ~ 'rl' ~: , 'L), rUJ . < 11"'\1 iru U ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - MARCH 30, 1998 ~ UU 4 ML Nielsen stated there are no potholes on the roadway and asked why the City doesn't just . repave it He reported he has contacted his Senators and several attorneys who advised him that he can get an injunction against this project to stop it ML Nielsen asserted this project is a whim and should not be approved, CliffVennerstrom, 1901 Edgewater Avenue, inquired regarding the interest rate, Mayor Probst stated this will be established with the next Council action, He advised that it has historically been established at 8%, George Evans, 1960 Edgewater Avenue, asked if the majority of the residents on affected streets came to the City requesting this road project or irthe City and their experts decided this is what the people need and want He asserted that, ultimately, the people should decide, Mayor Probst explained how the City uses the Pavement Management Program to inspect streets and rank them by a process to determine which should be reconstructed, overlaid, or seal coated, He stated it is unfortunate that some streets have not historically received this type of maintenance but the Council is now attempting to handle street improvements based on the Pavement Management Program, Mayor Probst reported on the discussion held last year regarding whether Oak A venue should be reconstructed or overlaid but the Council decided an overlay would not be fiduciarily responsible since it would not last, so the decision was made to reconstruct or do nothing and the residents decided to proceed with the improvement. . Councilmember Aplikowski asked if this is an option for this street, if the majority ofresidents do not support the improvement it could be removed from the 1998 Street Improvement Project scope, She suggested the City Engineer provide an explanation of why this street is being recommended for improvement even if there are no pot holes, Mayor Probst explained that curbs and gutters preserve the street over a longer period of time, because they direct surface water drainage, The City Engineer explained that the process used in the past to determine whether an overlay should be considered was a rating cutoff of between 60 to 80, He explained there is usually only two to three inches of blacktop with poor soils underneath which is not the standard by which streets are constructed today, The City Engineer stated the proposed reconstruction would remove the asphalLand replace the base which will provide more strength to the roadwa-Y,Th~ . concrete curbs will contain the edge of the pavement so it does not ravel off and allow water to undermine the base, The City Engineer stated the entire City does not have a storm sewer system so the curb and gutter will function to direct water drainage, He explained that Edgewater A venue received a rating of 57 based on the age, frequency of cracks, and other issues which put it into the reconstruction category, Scott Hultberg, 1945 Edgewater Avenue, stated he had no comment. . f~.' ,,,','1'\ ,.'%' l'r '" '~J . 2.J 10.\ 110\ ,I ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL _ MARCH 30.1998 : Ju IfU U U 5 . Kerstin Leonard, 1954 Edgewater Avenue, stated they received notice the end of November and were shocked, She stated they believe this was a short notice and suggested the City provide a longer notification period to allow people to prepare, Mayor Probst stated the process followed now allows notice three to four months earlier than provided in the past. He explained a three year program was identified to create an improvement project where the roads are in close vicinity for cost benefit. Mayor Probst noted that Edgewater A venue was on the list a year ago since it was included as a candidate for reconstruction, but it did not proceed, Britt Lundgren, 1977 Gramsie Road, stated she has a comer lot and asked if she will be assessed again when the other road is improved, Mayor Probst explained that the corner lot formula provides a credit so it is not a full assessment on the second side, George Rehbein, 1759 Crystal Avenue, stated there is a five-year window on the application of the corner lot formula street credit and, if it is more than five years, the resident has to pay for the full assessment on both sides of the corner lot. Mayor Probst stated this is correct. Barbara Haake, 3024 County Road I, Mounds View, stated she was invited to the meeting tonight by several residents, She reported that the City of Mounds View just completed a street . project and reviewed her past municipal service and citizen involvement with a group of residents who received a different road outcome by working with the Mounds View City Council. Ms. Haake reviewed her involvement in a road project and commented on the typical view of Councils who wants to do what is best for the city by fiduciary judgement and the typical resident's view that the council will do what they want whether it is best for the residents or not. Ms. Haake stated in Mounds View it was proposed to construct a road at 32 feet wide with curb and gutter at a $41.04 per front foot assessment. Most lots are 100 feet wide so the average assessment would have been $4,100 per house, Residents wanted the road to be 24 feet wide without curb and gutter. She advised of the action of a residents committee to counter the City's direction and which groups they involved to challenge the City on this street project. Ms, Haake cautioned the Council about future costs to maintain the roads the City is planning to construct and eXplained how Mounds View found exceptions that can be made on MSA funded roads to eliminate.C!Il:l1s and gutters from the road design, She reviewed the assessments charged by Arden Hills for road projects over the past few years, Ms, Haake asserted that Arden Hills has sandy soils which is a good permeable soil so curb and gutter (which would result in additional costs) is not necessary to instalL She advised that Mounds View reduced the street width as requested by the residents which reduced the assessment costs by 75%, Then, over next two weeks, the residents said the neighborhood and aesthetics were the real issues and the Council then agreed to a 24 foot wide street without curb and gutter with no assessment since MSA funds will be applied. . ~ .~ i!\ ~~ 1 CJ' ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - MARCH 30. 1998 lW U'~ iFJ U 6 Ms. Haake asserted that both the Mounds View City Council and the property owners were . winners since the Council were seen as caring representatives for their citizens, She suggested that some of these options be explored by the City of Arden Hills and its residents. She stated that the residents are more important than keeping to a construction schedule. Ms. Haake asserted the actions of the Mounds View City Council is what Council representation is all about. Michael Hill, 3280 Lake Johanna Boulevard, presented a formal objection to his proposed assessments. Craig 'Wilson, 1677 West County Road F, commended the Council for notifying residents earlier in the process and urged the Council to continue that process, He stated he was assessed about $32 per front foot when County Road F was reconstructed and now the cost is up to $48 per front foot in Arden Hills and $42 per front foot in Mounds View, He asked \vhat has accounted for this high increase in construction over three years. Mr. Wilson stated he would be interested in looking at alternatives to the assessment policy and to find a way to spread the cost to all citizens on a yearly basis instead of finding a new group ofresidents to shock with the road improvement project and assessment. He stated he thinks all residents should cover the cost of the roads since residents use all of the roads. He stated his roadway is heavily used so he will have to pay for its improvement more often than a resident living in a more secluded neighborhood. Mr. Wilson stated he supports a smaller road width which would keep the costs down, may reduce the speed of traffic, and would also provide space for a walkway. He stated it may be the standard or City policy to have curb and gutter but he believes residents moved into Arden Hills knowing a ditch system is used to carry drainage. He stated he believes ditches work . better than curb and gutter since it allows drainage to seep into the ground rather than running into the lakes and ponds. Mayor Probst explained that the City has looked at different forms of curb and gutter and the current policy could be changed but the Council believes there is a long-term maintenance advantage to have the additional pavement support provided by curb and gutter. He noted there are reports that suggest curb and gutter can deal more effectively with runoff issues and are more environmentally friendly. Mayor Probst explained that County Road F is built to a higher standard and residents were assessed for a theoretical 32 foot residential street and not assessed based on the actual eosts of the project. He explained the market is controlling the increase in costs for road projects which is not under the Council's control. Mayor Probst stated the assessment and cost process is no more fun for the Council than the residents. He advised that the,c;.:ouncilcon!ilwally reviews this issue and has discussed the option of levying for City streets which would represent about a 20% property tax increase. The judgement of the Council has been that rather than putting this into the general fund and risking whether the funds will be used for street improvements, it would be assessed. He noted that when the street is assessed those funds go to road improvements and cannot be considered for another use. Roger Luehrs, 1967 Edgewater Avenue, asked ifresidents will have full access to their property and mail boxes. . :1;1i '0 !~ is 11" YJ Iru 'n' ,. " ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - MARCH 10. 1998 ' U "J". 7 . The City Engineer stated there may be two or three days when residents have to park in the street or within 50 feet of their property. He explained that mailboxes will be relocated once during construction to a temporary location and then, once the curb is installed and the project is completed, the mailboxes can be relocated back to the resident's property. Marline Spring, 3965 Fairview Avenue, asked if Oak Street set a precedent since they were provided the option of an overlay, She stated she believes Fairview Avenue residents should be provided the same option. Mayor Probst clarified that the Oak A venue residents wanted to do an overlay but the Council decided it would not be a good use of dollars to do an overlay since it voiQuld not last so the Council did not otTer and "either or" option. Councilmember Hicks stated the Council has been listening to residents and offered Oak Avenue residents the option to remove their roadway from the project. He stated Fairview Avenue has a score of 22 on a scale of zero to 100 so it is a candidate for reconstruction, not overlay. Mitehell Bendix, 1948 Edgewater Avenue, inquired regarding the pink markers which are on the properties and asked how far the road will go into their yards. The City Engineer explained these are preliminary survey markers which are otTset ten to fifteen feet or may identify other utility improvements. . Mayor Probst asked if the reconstructed street will be within inches of the pavement width that exists today. The City Engineer stated this is correct but existing parts of Edgewater Avenue may be a bit wider than what will exist after the improvement project. Mr. Bendix stated there may be more than just retired citizens that will have a tough time paying for it. Sue Luehrs, 1967 Edgewater Avenue, stated there are eight houses from Prior to the cul-de-sac and the rest of the roadway was installed 20 years ago by the contractor. She noted the cul-de-sac lots will only be assessed $5 per foot for an overlay but will receive the value from the reconstruction portion of the street since they have to travel on that portion to get to their homes on the cul-de-sac. Council member Malone stated this is a good question and was discussed at length by the Council. He explained the Council has taken the position that the resident pays for their assessment when the construction actually occurs. He stated it is a bit of a judgement call but the Council has determined to assess a reasonable amount for the improvement with the rest of the cost coming from the entire City. Ms. Luehrs asked if a cul-de-sac situation is treated differently. Councilmember Malone explained the cul-de-sac properties will pay at the same rate when their section is reconstructed which is a reasonable and fair way to approach it. . Vieky LeMire, 1912 Edgewater Avenue, asked if the City is required to obtain more than one estimate and if the lowest bid has to be accepted. - --~------------- ill) :D ii" :,S 1'( lfulf'uu U ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - MARCH 30. 1998 8 Mayor Probst explained the design work is done by the City Engineer and the project is then . advertised for bid. As a public agency, anyone can bid the project and the City awards to the lowest responsible bidder. The City Engineer advised that nine bids were received for this project. Jim Ross, 4029 Fairview Avenue, asked if the City wants the assessment payment within 30 days of the project or interest will be charged. Mayor Probst stated this is correct. Mr. Ross noted the City is not paying for the project up front and asked why residents should have to pay up front before the contractor is paid. Mayor Probst explained the funds will be spent over 60 to 90 days and, in terms of the City's ability to assess, those are the timelines the City works under. Mr. Ross stated some people don't have the money to pay for this project but while he can afford to pay it he does not want to pay 120 days before it is given to the contractor since he will loose investment interest on the money. He suggested the Council be flexible to help those that have young families or are retired and find it difficult to put out this amount of money, Mr. Ross suggested the Council ask Ms. Haake to work with the City as an advisor for road projects. He stated that residents are not happy with the way the Council is doing things and an exchange of ideas would be better for the City and its residents Mayor Probst stated the Mounds View project may have been a victory for residents on the street to be improved but funds were used on that street which could have been used more broadly . throughout the community to deal with other issues. But, since the funds were expended on that project, they are no longer available for other areas in Mounds View. Mayor Probst stated the Council has listened to the residents very carefully and modified the street design as a result of what residents have requested if done for specific reasons. He stated that there can be a debate over the policies in existence but the Council believes it offers an appropriate path. Lois Rem, 1670 Glenview Court, asked if it would result in a 20% property tax increase if all taxpayers cover the cost. She inquired regarding the average tax paid. Mr. Post stated on a median valued home of $141 ,000 the taxes paid to the City would be approximately $400 per year. Councilmember Malone stated the City also has to deal with levy limits as placed by the Legislature which originally resulted in the Assessment Policy. He statedthisaltemative has been discussed and may be an option when levy limits are removed. Councilmember Malone stated he has paid assessments twice and the good thing with assessments is that the money goes for something "concrete." But. if it is in the General Fund, there are a lot of other uses for it. Councilmember Malone stated if the levy is increased, he questions whether the funds would all get used for road improvements, Councilmember Hicks stated if the levy limit is increased by 20% to cover the annual street improvement costs. it would result in annual funding for the street improvement nmd. He stated . he believes there are residents that may support it, but not on an annual basis. He restated the Council has listened to residents to modify roadway projects and they did revise a project to - ---- -----~-- u .~ :, :s -~ lUJ ju~ ;'at 1: ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - MARCH 30. 1998 till IJ1j J ,. 9 . construct a 24 foot width roadway which the Fire Chief advised against from an emergency services point of view. Councilmember Hicks commented that it may be better to have residents who do not understand or agree with the policy than to construct roads incorrectly. Councilmember Hicks asked Ms, Haake who she represents. Ms. Haake explained that several residents asked her to attend. Councilmember Hicks asked Mr. Coughlin who he represents. Mr. Coughlin stated he isjust present to speak for the people, Councilmember Aplikowski stated ever since the 1995 Assessment Hearing, people have reviewed the Assessment Policy and that review is on-going, She stated that it has been indicated there is nothing better out there unless the City pays for everything, which the Council does not believe is a viable option, She restated the Council is listening to resident's input to determine if there is a different way. Councilmember Aplikowski stated the Council is always considering if the Assessment Policy can be modified. She agreed with Councilmember Hicks that a mistake was made when Pascal A venue was constructed at a width of 24 feet. Ms, Rem noted this is an election year and asked ifresidents can consider a referendum to change the levy limit to include improvements forecast by the Pavement Management Program. A resident asked how long the project segments will take and if they are done simultaneously. . Mayor Probst stated a meeting has not yet been held with the eontractor to determine if they ean do it all at once but it is usually a progressive project. The City Engineer explained the contraetor will be allowed a construction period of about three weeks per segment before the area has to be restored with a lift of blacktop. Mr. Wilson asked if the assessment rate is being reduced due to use of SWM funds. Mayor Probst stated this is correet and those funds have been used to underwrite a smaller portion of projeets in past years, Bob Downs, 1926 Edgewater Avenue, inquired regarding the interest rate to be charged and stated he believes eight percent is too high, He asked how this rate will be determined and if residents can argue this point or if it is governed by law. Mayor Probst stated eight percent is the highest level that can be charged by government agencies and, historically, has been a competitive rate, He explained the percentage rate is to cover the City's cost if it had to borrow the funds, In response to a question, Mr. Post explained once the final assessment roll is certified, Ramsey County will assess the cost with interest. Payment without interest can be made for 30 days from the date of the public hearing (tonight). Otherwise, the assessment is collected through future . property tax payments, There being no further public input, Mayor Probst closed the public hearing at 9:08 p.m. ----- -----.--.--------- ---- ---- ------- r;;\ .c i~ C';; 'if' Iii: ,L, ;j i .....1 - ~ r' , ~ : ..;~ ill. u"u ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - MARCH 30. 1998 .. ~ 10 Mayor Probst declared a recess at 9:08 p.m. The meeting was reconvened at 9: 17 p.m. .

The motion carried unanimously (4-0). Council member Malone reviewed the appeal of Susan Keirn for 2056 Stowe Avenue based on the assessment being excessive and indicating agreement to pay $37 per foot as a base cost minus curb, gutter, the remaining storm water management, and indicating disagreement with being charged a higher rate due to the City's and New Brighton's decision to delay the project.

The motion carried unanimously (4-0). MOTION: Councilmember Hicks moved and Councilmember Aplikowski seconded a motion to adopt Resolution #98-34, Adopting Final Bituminous Overlay, Assessment Roll, 5 year Amortization with an interest rate of 8% simple interest. Council member Aplikowski stated that while this has been discussed several times she believes, for the good of the City, the interest rate should not be anything other than eight percent.

PUBLIC COMMENTS Mayor Probst invited those present to come forward and address the Council onallY items not already on the agenda, Roger Aiken, Finance Committee Member, stated he was unable to attend the last Finance Committee meeting but wanted to comment on something he noticed in the meeting minutes. He stated the Finance Committee has not supported the 8% interest rate for assessments, He stated they have discussed the interest rate, but not in direct terms of the assessment. He stated Council member Aplikowski indicated that the Finance Committee did not feel there was a need to change the interest rate but that is not correct. . ------...- ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - MARCH 30 1998 ~ ~ ~~1 13 . Mr. Aiken advised that they have researched several different policies and educated all who serve on the Committee. He stated they are taking a slow and reasoned approach but it is premature to assert the Finance Committee has come to any conclusion or that the policy should not be changed. Mr. Aiken stated that he also wants to address the comment made about the need to address the assessment shortfall. He stated the reason for the project cost increase has been due to the market but also consider that contractors are well aware of Statute 429 and the need for value increase. He noted that the properties in Arden Hills are valued higher than those in Mounds View and Mounds View received a lower per foot bid. Mr. Aiken stated the SWM Fund was established to take care of increased curbing and piping improvements to deal with drainage. He commented on the responsibility of the Watershed District and their taxing ability and noted their primary mission is to prevent flooding and improve water quality. He stated when the width of the road is increased and curb and gutter added, it also increases the amount of storm water generated. Councilmember Malone asked if the Finance Committee appointed him as a spokesperson. Mr. Aiken stated he is not representing them but wanted to state his position. Councilmember Malone stated Mr. Aiken had indicated he was not at the meeting, yet knew the Finance Committee addressed the 8% interest issue. Mr. Aiken stated the meeting was a work meeting that occurred prior to the Finance Committee meeting. He reviewed the alternatives . presented by Mr. Post and stated he was referring to that memorandum. Councilmember Malone pointed out that Mr. Aiken had indicated the Finance Committee has not voted on the eight percent issue and had not concurred with an eight percent rate. Mr. Aiken explained that it has been stated and implied that the Finance Committee has agreed with an eight percent rate but there is no record of a vote being taken on that particular issue. Councilmember Aplikowski stated there has been no vote or resolution but an open discussion occurred about the interest range 01'6.75% and up to 8% and it was discussed. She indicated that there is a difference of opinion between members of the Finance Committee on the amount that should be paid but there was no vote taken at that meeting. Mr. Aiken stated he is just presenting his comment as a resident who served for a year and one- half on the Finance Committee. Councilmember Malone stated he was only asking Mr. Aiken ifhe represented the Finance Committee. Mr. Aiken stated the answer is no. There were no other public comments. . ------- ~~~~~ ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - MARCH 30. 1998 14 UNFINISHED AND NEW BUSINESS . A. Planning Cases 1. Case #98-05, Francis Husnik, 4605 Prior Avenue, Special Use Permit Mr. Kevin Ringwald, Community Development Director. explained that Francis Husnik is requesting approval of an amendment to their Special Use Permit (SUP) to allow for the construction of a 900 square foot garage addition to the recreation building at the Arden Manor Mobile Home Park. The Arden Manor Mobile Home Park is currently operating on a series of SUP's which have been granted for the mobile home park. The last was issued in August of 1991 and the applicant is requesting this amendment to facilitate the constmction of a garage adjacent to the recreation building so they may more effectively store their maintenance equipment. Mr. Ringwald reported that the Planning Commission recommends approval of Planning Case #98-05, the SUP amendment to construct a 900 square foot garage at 4605 Prior Avenue subject to compliance with Exhibit A of the staff memorandum dated March 4, 1998. He noted that staff contacted Ramsey County Public Works who indicated the proposed structure would not interfere with any of the planned construction activities of Ramsey County relating to Highway 96. Councilmember Malone stated if this were a difTerent situation, the garage could be constmcted . but. in this case, they operate under a SUP. MOTION: Councilmember Malone moved and Councilmember Aplikowski seconded a motion to approve Planning Case #98-05, the SUP amendment to construct a 900 square foot garage at 4605 Prior Avenue subject to compliance with Exhibit A of the staff memorandum dated March 4, 1998. The motion carried unanimously (4- 0). 2. Case #98-06, Scott Roberts, 1160 Red Fox Road, Site Plan Review Mr. Ringwald explained that the applicant is requesting approval of a site plan to facilitate the constmction of a one-story 15,000 square foot office building at the southeast comer of Red Fox Road and Dunlap Street on a 1.39 acre site zoned B-4. The request includes variances for lot size (1.39 acres provided w'hen 2.0 acres are required) and parking lot setbacks (20 feet from rights- of-way and 10 feet from property lines are provided, when 50 feet from rights-of-way and 20 feet from property lines are required). He advised ofrevisions to the parking stall alignment and relocation of the sign as requested by the Planning Commission and complied with by the applicant. Mr. Ringwald stated the applicant has also submitted a letter, as requested by the Planning Commission, indicating his proposed use of the building stating an intention to construct a mezzanine. Mr. Ringwald noted the landscaping element and request to increase the sizes per Code requirement which the applicant has also complied with to meet the Landscape Ordinance. . Mr. Ringwald stated the applicant is also requesting a lot size variance and front and side parking lot setback variances. He explained this district was established for a large commercial activity fir ~~~1 II' ul ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - MARCH 30. 1998 l- IS . on a significantly sized parcel but this lot is below the minimum size requirement so it cannot meet the parking lot setback requirements. To provide for reasonable use, the Planning Commission recommends approval of those setback variances. Mr. Ringwald reported that the Planning Commission recommends approval of Planning Case #98-06, Site Plan Review for a 15,000 square foot office with a lot size variance based on the "Findings - Lot Size Variance" contained in the staff report and the parking lot setback variances based on the "Findings - Parking Lot Setback Variance" at 1160 Red Fox Road subject to the following conditions: 1. Compliance with the requirement of the Rice Creek Watershed District. 2. Modification of the landscape plan to provide for two 5 caliper inch trees rather than two 4.5 caliper inch trees. , Modification of the sign location to be consistent with the Sign Ordinance (20 feet from ~. Red Fox Road). 4. The owners shall provide a statement of intent of a possible building of a mezzanine. 5. Parking spaces shall be moved five feet from the building and pavement improvements be made to the easement. Councilmember Hicks stated he understands the building request does not include the mezzanme. . Mr. Scott Roberts, applicant, explained that if they get a tenant that needs a mezzanine they will build it at that time. Councilmember Hicks asked if the parking on the plan, as proposed, allows for the additional mezzanine space. Mr. Ringwald explained the applicant is currently providing ten more parking spaces than required but the issue is the use of the mezzanine (office or storage) which requires different ratios of parking. Council member Hicks noted two corrections needed to Mr. Robert's letter regarding size of landscaping and the setback of the parking lot. Mr. Ringwald advised these issues are correctly identified on the site plan. In response to Councilmember Malone, Mr. Ringwald suggested the sidewalk be concrete rather than gravel. MOTION: Councilmember Malone moved and Councilmember Hicks seconded a motion to approve Planning Case #98-06, Scott Roberts, 1160 Red Fox Road, Site Plan Review, for a 15,000 square foot office with a lot size variance based on the "Findings - Lot Size Variance" contained in the staff report and the parking lot setback variances based on the "Findings - Parking Lot Setback Variance" subject to the conditions listed above and conditioned on the mezzanine being constmcted . according to Code requirements and the installation of a concrete sidewalk. Mayor Probst stated he will support the request and suggested the Council readdress their development vision of the Red Fox area. ----- [W ,';;'; 11 r;J~ ;ui i.. r2 !

Case #98-08, City of Arden Hills, 1550 Oak Avenue, Street Vacation (Excess Right-of-Way) and Variance ML Ringwald explained that the applicant is requesting approval of a front yard setback variance for an existing garage (20 feet proposed when 40 feet is required) and for the vacation of excess street right-of-way on a single family lot zoned R-I. ML Ringwald advised this proposal follows the agreement reached between the City and Mr. Shepley and reported that the Planning Commission recommends approval of Planning Case #98-09. the Front Yard Setback Variance at 1550 Oak Avenue for the existing garage based on the "Findings - Front Yard Setback Variance (Garage)" contained in the staffreport and also to recommend approval of the vacation of the excess right-of-way for Oak Avenue.

The motion carried unanimously (4-0). 4. Case #98-26A, Bethel College, 3900 Bethel Drive, Special Use Permit . Amendment Mr. Ringwald explained that the applicant is requesting approval of an amendment to their Special Use Permit (SUP) for Bethel College by updating the traffic generation numbers for the SUP. He explained when the SUP was approved in March of 1978 it contained conditions relating to the trip generation rate which, over time, has increased through residential neighborhoods. He stated the applicant has gone through extensive traffic testing and modeling and arrived at a trip generation number for a site of this character, type of City, and median income. Mr. Ringwald reported that the Planning Commission recommends approval of the Special Use Permit Amendment modifying condition #6 to state: "Traffic generated by the normal college use shall not exceed volumes anticipated for low to medium density (approximately 3 to 4.5 dwelling units per acre) residential development of the site (5,670 trips per day)" Mr. Ringwald noted Exhibit F, handouts from the City Engineer who reviewed the report, and Stanley Consultants who is the Bethel College traffic consultant. He noted the City Engineer's conclusion that both Snelling A venue and Highway 10 can sufficiently handle the trip generation number at 5,670 trips per day. Councilmember Malone commented on the size of this site and the number of trips per day used for residential properties. The City Engineer stated they did look at whether there was a need for . a signal at Old Highway 10 but they have determined it is not needed. . @ ~D It ~ ~ lru " . u L'U U .

MOTION: Councilmember Malone moved and Councilmember Hicks seconded a motion to approve Planning Case #98-26A, Bethel College, 3900 Bethel Drive, Special Use Permit Amendment modifYing condition #6 to state: "Traffic generated by the normal college use shall not exceed volumes anticipated for low to medium density (approximately 3 to 4.5 dwelling units per acre) residential development of the site (5,670 trips per day)." In response to Mayor Probst, Mr. Ringwald explained that the principal change is that Bethel is reaching their maximum development with the limitation being parking requirements. Craig Hjelle, Bethel College Facilities Director, explained the Planning Commission requested a traffic count to determine the amount of traffic being generated so they could amend the SUP to renect that number and allow for the final growth in the campus. The motion carried unanimously (4-0). 5. Case #98-07, Bethel College, 3900 Bethel Drive, Site Plan Rcvicw Mr. Ringwald explained that the petitioner is requesting approval of a site plan to allow for the construction ofa new 276 unit residence hall and a 33,936 square foot addition to the existing Science, Art, and Technology Building on the interior portion of the Bethel College campus. The request also includes height variances for the residence hall (42 feet 8 inches is proposed when . 35 feet is the maximum allowed) and the addition to the Science, Art, and Technology Building (47 feet proposed when 35 feet is the maximum allowed). Mr. Ringwald stated the Planning Commission questioned the view since the walkout dorm is being pulled down the slope to avoid trees and vegetation which exposed the basement and requires a height variance. The Planning Commission asked if it makes a difference and if it would be visible trom Old Highway 10. He presented a picture identifYing the existing condition in the winter season and explained that locating the dorm higher on the hillside will bring the height of the dorm above the level of the trees. Mr. Ringwald reported that the Planning Commission recommends approval of the Site Plan for the 33,936 square foot addition to the existing Science, Art, and Technology Building at 3900 Bethel Drive, including a height variance based on "Findings - Height Variance" contained in the staff report and subject to the following conditions: 1.

Mayor Probst asked if the addition to the Science, Art, and Technology Building will be visible from Old Highway 10. Mr. Ringwald stated it will not be visible from Highway 51 or Old Highway 10. He noted the location of scattered vegetation and vegetation along the hillside. Councilmember Hicks stated his concern about the visibility from Highway 10 just south of the main entrance, looking across the parking lot. He stated there is not much vegetation in that location to provide screening. Mr. Hjelle advised that if driving by on Old Highway 10 there is a view of approximately 30 to . 40 feet in width just south of the entrance. Mayor Probst stated an issue will be the color of the building. Mr. Hjelle stated they will use the Bethel-colored brick as used on the other buildings. Mr. Wilson asked if lighting is a consideration and if this is for additional students or to replace housing in New Brighton which would reduce traffic from that area. Mr. Hjelle explained the New Brighton housing will remain in use and this will allow an increase to the number of students and allow students to relocate from the married section ot'the campus to the new dormitory. Mr. Ringwald stated the Planning Commission did look at this building with and without lighting and felt it would be less visible if located down from the slope. MOTION: Councilmember Hicks moved and Councilmember Malone seconded a motion to approve Planning Case #98-07, Bethel College, 3900 Bethel Drive, Site Plan Review, the 33,936 square foot addition to the existing Science, Art, and Technology Building including a height variance based on "Findings - Height Variance" contained in the staffreport and subject to the conditions listed above and for a new 276 unit residence hall, including a height variance based on "Findings - Height Variance" contained in the staffreport and subject to the . conditions listed above. ARD N HILLS CITY COUNCIL - MARCH 30 1998 19 . Councilmember Aplikowski requested the inclusion of a condition indicating the lighting level be "reasonable" where it can be viewed. Mr. Hjelle stated they will be using high cut-off lights as used on other buildings and he does not know of any SUP provisions relating to lighting. He stated they have complied with restrictions about lighting not extending off the property. The motion carried unanimously (4-0). Mr. Hjelle thanked the Council for this consideration and stated they hope to be under construction in June. 6. Case #98-03, City of Arden Hills, 1450 West Highway 96, Amendment to Arden Hills Zoning OrdinancelPawnshops Mr. Ringwald explained that the City of Arden Hills is requesting approval of an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance which would identify pawnshops as a prohibited use in all zoning districts. He noted this proposal will include the actual verbatim State law definition of "pawnshop" and lists it as not permitted in all zoning districts. Mr. Ringwald reported that the Planning Commission recommends approval of the requested amendment to the Zoning Ordinance. MOTION: Council member Hicks moved and Councilmember Malone seconded a motion to . approve Planning Case #98-03, City of Arden Hills, 1450 West Highway 96, Amendment to Arden Hills Zoning Ordinance/Pa"vnshops. The motion carried unanimously (4-0). B. City Facilities Mayor Probst noted the memorandum from Mr. Fritsinger reporting that the City is actively proceeding with planning for construction of a new City Hall facility at the Sunfish Lake site on Highway 96. However, the most recent information from the Minnesota National Guard has indicated the executed lease date upon which construction activities could begin has, once again, been delayed. Mr. Post reviewed the discussion held at the recent Council workshop relating to staff needs and possible delay in obtaining the Sunfish site and alternative options. He stated staff reviewed one option which was leasing space at Control Data on an 18-month lease basis and a second option of leasing space at the Round Lake Business Center on a two-year sublease for a corner space. Mr. Post advised staff is recommending the Council authorize negotiations of the leased space at the Round Lake Business Center. Councilmember Malone stated he believes the Round Lake Business Center option provides reasonable space located within the City of Arden Hills and believes the two-way radio issues can be resolved. . Council member Aplikowski stated she believes the Round Lake Business Center space is more accessible and provides a friendlier work environment. __ ____n___ I'" --, .-i :-;:; ~-~ ,O!

Mr. Post advised there is additional space available for lease which the building owner would like to add as a package, If included, it would increase the square footage to 4,416, He noted that this additional space would provide for. more appropriate file and document storage than currently exists. Mayor Probst stated he has been resistant to moving in this direction due to the cost but he finds the 24-month term more palatable because he believes the new City Hall will be available prior to that expiration. He reviewed the staff analysis relating to costs incurred and noted it does not address some of the exposure with the current City Hall such as air conditioning costs over the summer months and possible need for repair. Mayor Probst stated if there is active use for additional space he would support adding it but, otherwise, he supports leasing only the space needed. Councilmember Aplikowski noted the extra space may also allow the Council to locate their work session meetings and, perhaps, Council meetings within the City's boundaries, Mr. Post stated that preliminary costs were identified with regard to demolition of the current site . and advised of the need to obtain bids for that work, MOTION: Councilmember Malone moved and Councilmember Aplikowski seconded a motion to direct staff to proceed with negotiating the remaining term of the Round Lake Business Center space for a total of 4,416 square feet (if determined by staff to be needed) on a two-year sublease basis with an option for a third year and to also direct staff to proceed to obtain demolition bids for the current site. The motion carried unanimously (4-0). C. Non-Union Employee Benefit Program Mr. Post explained that staff was directed to provide additional information related to the current monthly contribution of $31 0 per month for non-union employees. He stated the City has not formally acted on the level of contribution of benefit for non-union employees but has dealt with some elements of that program. Mr. Post asked how the Council sees that contribution to be addressed. Mayor Probst commented on the need for contribution fairness between married and unmarried employees. He explained that a true cafeteria program would offer each employee the same dollar value and require them to take the health benefit unless they can demonstrate they have other sufficient coverage. In that case, they could opt out and take the dollars as taxable income. . ------------- M\ ........ )-. -. 'i? llJ) iD{ i!1 c: II .~ ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - MARCH 30. 1998 UU i1U . U 21 . Mr. Post stated the City does not have a cafeteria program and commented on the difficulty of finding a provider that would support the employee "opting out" option since they do expect 100% participation. Councilmember Aplikowski suggested the Council set a maximum contribution and allow employees to use it, in some fashion, for health benefits without the alternative of getting the funds as taxable income. Councilmember Malone stated he supports providing a fair package to both married and unmarried employees and proceeding in the direction being suggested, Councilmember Hicks asked if the life insurance policy builds cash value. Mr. Post stated that it does not and is strictly term insurance, Councilmember Hicks statcd if they have sufficient life insurance coverage they are still gaining comparable benefits. Councilmember Aplikowski noted it is families that need the extra coverage as opposed to singles but the program needs to be fair to alL Mayor Probst stated if the single coverage cost is $160 and family coverage is beyond what is being paid then the single coverage employee can designate the remainder of the contribution towards life insurance coverage. . In response to Councilmember Hicks, Mr. Post stated there are eight single family coverage employees, six family coverage employees, and one COBRA retired employee. He noted that staff needs Council direction to calculate employee deductions for the April pay checks. Councilmember Malone stated he believes it was agreed that the contribution was not to exceed $320. Councilmember Aplikowski stated she supports offering the ability to the employee to use the $320 contribution as they see fit for health and dental insurance coverage. She suggested that amount be considered with the issue further discussed at an upcoming meeting. Mr. Post advised that the $320 level of contribution is the same as with other bargaining units. Mayor Probst stated he supports making the net benefit to employees equivalent whether single or married. Councilmember Malone stated his concurrence and noted that with a cafeteria plan the ability exists to deduct a portion of your salary for child care and other qualified expenses but, ifit is not used, it is lost at the end of the year. Mr. Probst stated the intent is not to pay taxes on that portion of the wage. Council consensus was reached to direct staff to proceed with $320 as the available contribution and direct staff to research the options to equalize the benefit package for single and married . employees. - - --- - - -- ---- ------------- ---------- .;'\ .~ 1\ .( 'fr iO' 'D'I UU /. 1"- l!

Sanitary Sewer Repairs Mr. Dwayne Stafford, Public Works Superintendent. explained that the Public Works Department had previously identified areas of the sanitary sewer system where structural failures have occurred. This identification was the result of televising approximately 20,000 linear feet of suspect sewer pipe, much of which lays adjacent to wetland areas. He advised that significant damage was tound but it was determined to repair only the worst of those areas. Mr. Stafford recommended the immediate repair of the worst areas at a cost of approximately $14,500 for engineering fees relating to those repairs. It was noted that staff has budgeted $75,000 for sanitary sewer repair work in 1998. . MOTION: Councilmember Malone moved and Councilmember Aplikowski seconded a motion to approve Work Order #98-04 for engineering costs relating to necessary repairs to the sanitary sewer system The motion carried unanimously (4-0). ADMINISTRATOR COMMENTS Mr. Post requested Council direction with respect to reviewing the cigarette compliance check ordinance issue. Councilmember Malone recommended the ordinance be written to comply with State Law. Mayor Probst stated the rates being quoted by North Suburban Tobaceo Compliance Project were very inexpensive. Mr. Post stated this is being done in conjunction with Ramsey County. Consensus was reached to continue with the present policy. COUNCIL COMMENTS Mr. Post advised that staff will contact property o\;ners regarding the Council's action on the 1998 Street Improvement Project. Councilmember Hicks suggested the streets for the next street improvement project be identified . now so those that would be assessed can be notified. Mr. Ringwald suggested a graphic within the newsletter to identify the streets and year anticipated for improvement. The Council concurred. n' .-':\ ' ~.., -~ i~' ~i ,1\ ;:, If ;U; ,"), :'" q 'u UU " U ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - MARCH 30 1998 "" u' 0 23 . Councilmember Malone noted the suggestion to consider a significant back up power system. He stated this type of system is quite expensive and noted that services issued from the City Hall are not life safety issues. Councilmember Malone noted the indication from residents serving on the Public Safety Commission that they are not interested in considering a city-wide one contract garbage hauler option. Councilmember Aplikowski reported on the recent Ramsey County League meeting and presentation by Como Zoo who is soliciting funding tor improvements. Councilmember Aplikowski urged staff to proceed quickly with the office space lease. Mayor Probst thanked John Miller for attending the meeting this evening. Due to the Council motion to direct statf to proeeed with negotiations for office space at the Gateway Business District, Mayor Probst suggested the payment to the City of New Brighton for rental of their City Hall for the full year be tabled to the next meeting. The Council concurred. In view of the recent severe weather, Mayor Probst raised the issue of emergency preparedness and requested Council's support of expending $500 to prepare an emergency preparedness plan. . Mr. Statford advised that Mark Bishop attended the last Safety Commission meeting. Mr. Bishop has written the emergency preparedness plans for New Brighton and Mounds View and is currently working on a plan for Andover. He reported that the Safety Commission recommended Mr. Bishop be hired to prepare a plan for Arden Hills at an estimated cost 01'$500. He stated he will contact those three cities to receive their input regarding Mr. Bishop's work. Mayor Probst announced the birthday of Community Development Director Kevin Ringwald.

CITY OF ARDEN HILLS, MINNESOTA WORKSESSION MONDAY, MARCH 16, 1998 4:45 P.M. - ARMY RESERVE CENTER, 4655 LEXINGTON A VENUE NORTH CALL TO ORDER Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, Mayor Dennis Probst called to order the City Council Worksession at 5: 15 p.m. Present were Council members Dale Hicks, Beverly Aplikowski, Susan Keim, and Paul Malone; City Administrator, Brian Fritsinger; Community Development Director, Kevin Ringwald; City Accountant, Terry Post; Parks and Reereation Director, Cindy Walsh; Public Works Superintendent, Dwayne Stafford; and Administrative Secretary, Sheila Stowell. APPROV AL OF MEETING AGENDA MOTION: Councilmember Keim moved and Councilmember Aplikowski seconded a motion to approve the meeting agenda tor the March 16, 1998 Worksession. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). CITY ISSUES - SHORT TERM . a. Hwy. 96/Hwy. 10 Traffic Study The City's consulting engineer, Greg Brown ofBRW, Inc., along with Tony Heppelmann of BRW, Inc., the firm's traffic and transportation engineer presented a study the Highway 96lHighway 10 interchange. Mr. Brown and Mr. Heppelmann presented various intersection configurations for the Highway 96 and 10 interchange and related short and long-term impacts. The scope of the study and discussion included evaluation of existing traffic patterns; traffic modeling of alternative scenarios; levels of access; pedestrian movements and access; Gateway Boulevard alignment; existing Highway IO accesses; Gateway Business District access; storm drainage; ramp metering and HOV facilities; TCAAP property acquisition; and a summary of benefits, property acquisitions, and cost implications of each alternative. Mr. Ringwald pointed out several positive aspects of Layout No.2, consisting of a grade separated interchange, with north access, and suggested the Couneil may wish to direct staff and engineers to review various pending MnDOT traffic projects and their implications to a proposed new interchange. Mr. Ringwald questioned whether the proposed interchange in Layout No.2 could provide enough capacity to accommodate future traffic requirements from the Gateway Business District (GBD), given that access to southbound Highway 10 was eliminated. Mr. Heppelman confirmed that it would have sufficient capacity. . ---- . @ ~~ ~~ ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORKSESSION - MARCH 16. 1998 2 . Mr. Ringwald suggested that, with this layout, it appeared to serve the needs of the City, Ramsey County, and MnDOT equally well, and should be considered a negotiating point with those agencies. Mr. Fritsioger reminded Couocilmembers that the proposed ramp to the north through TCAAP property is a long-term venture. Mr. Brown suggested a reverse loop would be an alternative, should the City not be able to acquire needed TCAAP property in a timely fashion. Mr. Fritsinger referred to the City of Shoreview's recent traffic study regarding the University of Minnesota property. Mr. Fritsinger specifically referred to County Road I, and the study's assumption of no development occurring on the TCAAP site. Mr. Fritsinger stated that staff had requested a meeting with the City of Shoreview to review various assumptions ofthe traffic study. Further discussion included the minimum alternative suggested by BRW, and whieh alternative would better serve the City's short and long-term traffic needs. It was the consensus of Councilmembers and staff that a grade separation, as presented in Layout No.2, would better serve the City, and resolve several intersections problems. Mr. Brown pointed out that, with Layout No.2, some ponding issues in the SE quadrant need to be addressed. Staff was directed to initiate discussions with Ramsey County and MnDOT, suggesting Layout . No.2 as the City's minimum request, accelerating the schedule on an 1-35W bridge, future interchange proposals and requirements at Gateway Boulevard; and to request definition ofthe long-term intentions of MnDot regarding the future functions of Highway 10 and the I-35W corridor. Mayor Probst revised the order of the agenda to accommodate the consultants present for the City Hall presentation, d. City Hall Mr. Fritsinger reviewed various revisions to the proposed City Hall design process since the last time this topic was brought before the Council. Jeanne Sterner and Tom Deangelo, ofthe Architectural Alliance, reviewed revised preliminary building design and cost estimates. Discussion items included, a conservative estimate of the proposed project budget as it relates to the latest preliminary design; storm water ponding requirements; the agreement by Ramsey County for a full curb cut and intersection on Highway 96; and design changes in the lower level. Ms. Sterner stated that the estimated budget of $1.9 million detail represented a building design of 16,105 square feet. Since this budget had been initially formulated, there had been elimination of additional square tootage. The revised preliminary design dated March 16, 1998, was for a . building of approximately 14,900 square feet. This reduction has been achieved by moving the employee lunchroom to the first floor, and the lower level being constructed as all open space, . IDJ ~~?1 ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORJ(SESSION - MARCH 16. 1998 3 . with the exception of the vault and rough in restrooms. Ms. Sterner stated that the initial footprint of the building remains at approximately 9,800 square feet. Mayor Probst stated that, in an effort to keep the City Council's public commitment to stay on track with the budget, the lower level may need to remain as raw space, programmed for future modifications, rather than including a community room at this time. It was the consensus of the Council that, with recent discussions regarding staffing levels, the mezzanine area to be used immediately be eompleted, with the remainder of that level receiving a minimum of drywall and paint until further use is determined. It was the consensus of the Council regarding the lower level to provide finished out bathrooms, inexpensive floor treatments, vault, painted walls, future community space, and bid additional amenities as an alternate. Consensus among Councilmembers was that, should the bids come in more competitively than expected, more alternates could be included. The City Council also agreed that the fireplace will remain. The mechanical systems should be reviewed in order to reduce costs for this item. Mr. Fritsinger stated he would be in contact with Architectural Alliance staff following . discussions regarding staffing proposals to be discussed later that evening. Mayor Probst left the meeting at 6:45 p.m., turning the meeting over to Acting Mayor, Dale Hicks. b. Assessments. 1998 Street Improvement Proiect 1. Interest Rate Mr. Post reviewed assessment rates from a City-historic and statutory basis. He stated that the City Council needed to consider, since the City generally internally finances these projects, that the City should receive a comparable yield as those funds available for investment by the City. Mr. Post suggested several options for the Council to consider. After further diseussion, staff was directed to prepare a resolution for Council consideration at the March 30, 1998 City Council meeting, with an interest rate at the Federal Reserve ten year constant maturity for the week ended March 25, 1998, plus one Percent (1.0%) with an upper cap at eight percent (8%) and a lower cap at six percent (6%). 2. Alternative Roll . Previously, the City Council had directed staff to prepare several alternate assessment rolls for their consideration. ---- @ ffi1/I\ ~ If . Iiu ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORKSESSION - MARCH 16 1998 4 . Mr. Post reviewed various alternative rolls, including a buy down rate with additional revenue; capping the assessment at a 3.5% of fair market value maximum; and greater use of the Surface Water Management (SWM) utility. Council directed statTand the City's consulting engineer, to prepare a resolution for Council consideration at their March 30, 1998 meeting, amending previous action and separating out the portion of the stormsewer cost that is not curb and gutter, and determine the impact on the proposed reconstruction assessment rate. 3. Unusual Lots Mr. Brown, consulting engineer, reviewed unique lot configurations and situations identified in the 1998 Street Improvement project area, for Council information prior to the March 30, 1998 Public Hearing. c. Retreat Review - Planning with Budget Considerations. etc. Pending further review by staff of priorities and goals established by the City Council at their recent Retreat, Mr. Fritsinger had no items to discuss at this time. c. Employee Insurance . Staff had no additional information related to the employee insurance program at this time. MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS City Hall. TemDorary Facilities Mr. Fritsinger briefly reviewed various items for the Council to consider at their March 30, 1998 meeting regarding the possibility of leasing temporary facilities, public relation requirements, accessability issues, and other considerations. Independent School District No. 621. Maintcnance Request Ms. Walsh reported that the City had received a request from LS.D. No. 621 for our providing outsourcing services to them for routine maintenance of some of their athletic facilities. Mr. Fritsinger stated the City would be cautiously considering this request as it relates to the City's budget and manpower requirements. Cable Franchise Fee Mr. Post reported that the City had received payment from Media One for 1997 cable franchise . fees. ~ ~~ ~1 ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORKSESSION - MARCH 16.1998 5 . Public Works Items Mr. Stafford reported various happenings in the Public Works Department, including installation of a majority of the commercial/industrial meters; and the need to pursue another location for the City's fill materials, with the development of the Gateway Business area. Community Devclopment Mr. Ringwald reported that he had been working with a party on the potential development of the County E-2 and Cleveland Avenue corner for a possible single story, walk out office building. Retreat Comments Councilmember Aplikowski commented that the Retreat had been helpful, but she would like to see the City Council and Department Heads discllss these issues more often. Mr. Fritsinger suggested the COllncil and staff could pursue two Worksessions each year that are used specifically for "brainstorming" sessions. . Further discussion included possibly planning several Saturday half-days during the year.

Hwy. 96 Arden Hills, MN 55112 Dear Mr. Fritsinger: As you know, the current extension of the cable television franchise ordinance expires on April 20, 1998. We have now fundamentally completed negotiation of a renewed franchise and the North Suburban Communications Commission will consider the franchise at its regular meeting Thursday, April 2, 1998. We fully expect that the Commission will make a positive . recommendation to its member cities regarding adoption of the franchise and that the final documents will be provided to the member cities in the very near future. However, time is needed for cities to fully review the proposed franchise and because some cities have lengthy ordinance adoption requirements including first and second readings which will likely prevent effective adoption of the franchise ordinance by April 20th, we are recommending further extension of the current franchise. Enclosed please find a proposed Ordinance Amendment extending the franchise for an additional ninety (90) days. This additional extension period has been agreed to by the Company in order to prevent a lapse in the franchise. Of course, this further extension does not change the underlying terms of the current franchise, and simply permits the orderly adoption of the renewed franchise. Please adopt the enclosed Ordinance Amendment and send notification to this office. . -- Mr. Brian Fritsinger . April 2, 1998 Page 2 If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. In summary: 1. The current cable franchise extension expires on April 20, 1998. 2. Enclosed is a further extension of the franchise ordinance to July 20, 1998, 3. Please adopt the enclosed. 4. Please send a copy of the adopted Ordinance Amendmem to my atIemion. Sincerely, BERNICK AND LIFSON, P.A. ~ ) , ~4~ Thomas D. Creighton Robert J.V. Vose . Enclosure cc: Ms. Coralie A.

MEMORANDUM DATE: April 13, 1997 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: K,,;n mngw.ld, Cn"n","H, Dmlnp"'", m",,", ,f}:- SUBJECT: Case #95-J, Antenna location modification Nextel (tka, One Comm), 1230 Red Fox Road Request The applicant is requesting approval to modify the location of their antenna's on the City's Red Fox Road water tower (Exhibit A). Discussion The applicant and the City entered into a lease agreement on April 26, 1995 (Exhibit B) to facilitate the construction of an antenna array. The lease agreement on in paragraph 6, b (page 4) states in relevant part: "Tenant may update or replace the Antenna Facilities from time to time with the prior written approval of Landlord, provided that the replacement facilities are not . greater in number than the existing facilities and that their location on the leased portion of the Water Tower is satisfaetory to the Landlord ...". The existing approval (Exhibit B, pages 18 and 19 of 24) provides for three 15 foot tall whip antenna's on top of the water tower and three four foot tall sets of three antenna's around the water tower. The three 15 foot tall whip antenna's currently exist on the eater tower, but the three four foot tall sets of three antenna's have yet to be installed. The applicant is now requesting the authority to remove the three 15 foot tall whip antenna's on top of the water tower and replace them with the three proposed sets of three antenna's, which reduce the number of antenna's on the tower. However, the three sets of three antenna's would now be on top of the water tower and would be more visible. Also, three sets of three antenna's are proposed to be nine feet in height rather than four feet. The City Council would need to determine if they find this new location and height acceptable. The City Council may wish to require that these antenna panels be painted the same eolor as the , water tower to help.th~.tl1 blend in and/or red'-!s~"lhel.).r\ght\lfl!1t)':ll1te:l:lnil:,s,,\)<l~.\Qfourft::~t. " 'd'., . -,.'.-.-',.....-........'...,.._...,.., .'-,_._....-..',:.,.... _.' '. _.: ..,.:..-. :-.... Previously, the applicant agreed to commence payment to the City for the three proposed sets of three antenna's even though they were not yet installed. The City has been receiving these payments ($862.00 per month). The lease also requires the applicant to provide the City with two ESMR portable or transportable telephones. The City has yet to accept these telephones due to the high monthly access charge. Given, the nature of the request the City Council may wish to . request that the applicant waive the monthly access charge for two years. . Recommendation The Staff, in Planning Case 95-1, recommends approval of the requested modification including . the removal of the three whip antenna's, painting of the three sets of three antenna's to match the water tower, and provision of two ESMR portable or transportable telephones to the City. . .

Nextel would now like to change their antennas on the water tank, which means to remove the three whip antennas on the top of the tank and replace them with nine panel antennas to be placed on the top of the . tank. The Lease signed between OneComm and the City on April 26, 1995 provides for the nine panel antennas; however, Exhibit B to the Lease shows the panel antennas being on the stem of the water tower instead of the top of the water tower. As we discussed, paragraph 6 of the Lease contemplates that the antennas may be moved if a new location is satisfactory to the City. By this letter, Nexte1 is asking the City to please consider allowing Nextel to attach its nine panel antennas to the top of the water tank on the railing. If this new location for the antennas is acceptable to the City, then the City and Nextel should execute an Amendment to the Lease showing the new location of the nine panel antennas. I have enclosed with this letter a proposed draft of four copies of the Amendment and the new Exhibit B drawings to show the location of the antennas. If this new location for the antennas is agreeable to the City, please have all four copies of the Amendment signed and notarized by the Mayor and City Administrator. Please return all four copies to me in the self- addressed, postage paid, Express Mail pouch. I will have Nextel sign all four copies and return two fully executed copies to you. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. Sincerely, L/~\LG4 William R. Buell . Agent for Nextel Enclosures: Four copies of Amendment with attached Exhibit B dra\vings. ~~ -----.-.--.- ------------- 1/(6 .
