with Snwhorse Constmctton to develop a plan tor an Zlddition that will adapt our 1 I)";'O'S \.image llome to
the tit~st~.(e of the 90's famil.... while maintaining it's char:.1cter. \Ve feel that the proposed addition will
meet this cnd and \\'111 address the current dnlimlgc isslte between our property and th(lt to the nor1h n~71
SiclTl.. Comt. \Villic and Jc;-]n Price)
The current gmdc of Otlr lot is significantly higher lIwn lll()t of the neighboring lots i\.fllCh of the \v('tter th*

We are concerned that the planning commission did not recommend approval of the Ii\ing space variance
and suggested an addition on the Southwest side of our home, \Ve feel that this is not an aesthetic311~'
appe.,1ling solution and would detract from the character of the neighborhood, An addition on this side of
our home would place li\ing space next to living space. 11\15 \voutd also reqtllre either a two~stOf:'r' addition
that would oyersbadow the borne on the South (which is ye", close to the lot line), or a Hat roof addition
(which is less desirable) We haye considered manv alternatives to the proposed plan but belieye that titis

PUBLIC COMMENTS e
Mayor Probst invited those present to come forward and address the Council on any items not
already on the agenda.
Lois Rem, 1670 Glenview Court, reported that a stray cat had recently been diagnosed as
having a highly infectious disease and cautioned all cat and dog owners of the dangers of letting
their animals run at large. She urged animal owners to have their pets checked for this disease.
There were no other public comments.
UNFINISHED AND NEW BUSINESS
A. Lift Station #11, BRW Options
Mr. Dwayne Stafford, Public Works Superintendent, explained that with the upcoming
reconstruciton of Highway 96, a feasibility study has been done on eliminating Lift Station # II at
Arden Manor. This station serves all of the triangle area surrOlmded by Highways 10.96 and 1-
35W and all of the existing Round Lake commercial and industrial properties. With the
upcoming reconstruction of Round Lake Road, staff felt it was an appropriate time to look at all
options, including the elimination of Lit! Station # II. Mr. Stafford advised that the City
Engineer was asked to look at this and BRW has determined it would be possible to eliminate
this lift station, but with significant project costs. He stated that while he would like to eliminate .
this lift station, he does not know if the project cost can be justified. Mr. Stafford reviewed the
efforts of other neighboring communities in eliminating the number of lift stations they maintain
and operate.
..
Mr. Greg Brown, City Engineer, used an overhead map to identifY the location of this lift station
and the three alternates as identified in the feasibility report. Alternate A maintains the current
lift station in place and indicates the costs associated with daily and periodic maintenance,
periodic capital improvements, construction of a complete new lit! station in the first year of the
analysis and that the pump station controls would be replaced at year 30 of the analysis. The
total capitalized cost for Alternate A is $211,564.05. Alternate B includes the construction ofa
gravity sanitary sewer main extending from the current location of Lift Station # II south
approximately 4,100 feet to connect to an existing 21-inch City interceptor sewer which was
recently constructed along 14th Street. The sewer would require casing pipe under Highway 96
in order to allow for future maintenance without dismption to the highway. The pipeline would
then run along the east side of Round Lake Road and connect to an existing manhole at the
intersection of 14th Street and Round Lake Road. The total capitalized cost for Alternate B is
$358,780.10. Alternate C includes the construction of a gravity sanitary sewer main extending
from the current location of Lift Station #11 south approximately 3,700 feet to connect to an
existing City interceptor sewer recently constructed along 14th Street. The pipeline would run
along the west side of Round Lake within a proposed easement to be dedicated along the eastern
edge of the Gateway Business District properties and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife property
surrounding Round Lake. The alignment would then run between the proposed Welsh .
Companies Phase III and Phase IV developments before connecting to the sewer in 14th Street
The total capitalized cost for Alternate C is $373,358.42.

ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - FEBRUARY 9. 1998 3
. Mr. Brown stated if the Council considers moving forward with this project, he would
recommend Alternate B which uses the road right-of-way and could be constructed with the
roadway project. This would allow costs associated with pavement removal, traffic control and
restoration of pavement and boulevard to be charged to the roadway improvements, therefore
lowering the cost for the sewer project. Mr. Brown noted the initial construction cost in 1998
dollars of $350,000. He explained the rates for annualized costs and break even points and stated
it does have merit to eliminate a lift station, if feasible, and other communities do the same when
it is possible.
Mayor Probst asked about the estimates which do not reference pavement restoration. Mr.
Brown stated it is assumed the lift station project would be done in conj unction with various
roadway projects.
Mayor Probst asked if the relocation routes discussed on the reconnection of Round Lake with
Highway 96 will not provide any economies. Mr. Brown stated this is correct.
Councilmember Malone stated he is surprised at the high cost estimate.
Mr. Stafford agreed this project is difficult to justify due to the high cost. He noted that staff may
ask to replace Lift Station # 11 as part of the Highway 96 reconstruction.
. Mayor Probst stated if a failure were to occur which required reconstruction, it may make sense
to consider a conversion at that point. Until that occurs, he cannot justify the cost.
Mr. Brown stated Ramsey County may relocate the station or consider funding for the relocation
at a cost of $60,000 for the station and $20,000 for realignment.
..
Councilmember Hicks inquired regarding the grade of the existing sewer line to make it flow
south. Mr. Brown stated it would have to be reconstructed to flow south.
Mayor Probst asked if it is already scheduled to televise this portion of the sewer line. Mr.
Stafford stated it is not scheduled but could be. Mr. Brown stated the existing lift station is of a
design which they are trying to get away from since all of the controls are 30 feet deep and
located in a wet environment.
Mayor Probst stated since there is no Council interest in moving forward with this project, it will
be considered as informational.
B. Resolution #98-22, Approving Plans and Specifications and Ordering Advertisement
for Bids, 1998 Street Improvement Project
Mr. Stafford explained the Council is asked to adopt Resolution #98-22 which approves the plans
and specifications and orders the advertisement for bids for the 1998 Street Improvement Project.
. This recommendation includes the deletion of Glen paul Avenue from the 1998 project. Mr.
Stafford noted the Council approved Resolution #97-49 to authorize the preparation of detailed
plans and specifications for the proposed 1998 street improvement project. This has been done,
staff has reviewed the plans, and finds them acceptable. He noted the Council asked staff to
DP f\ FT
."' M I
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - FEBRUARY 9. 1998 4
revisit Glenpaul Avenue based on resident's input to make sure all of the information had been .
gathered. Since that time, the City Engineer did test drilling and determined there is not
sufficient base under the blacktop and it will probably not adequately support an overlay. Staff
sent letters explaining this to residents on Glenpaul A venue and some are in attendance. Mr.
Stafford advised that Staff does not think it is appropriate to overlay Glenpaul A venue and
recommends it be dropped from the overlay list for this year and be considered for reconstruction
at a later date.
Mr. Stafford reported on the Stowe Avenue sewer between Stowe Avenue and Katie Lane. The
City televised this sewer line, found minor problems, and corrected them. With these repairs
completed, the line is in pretty good shape. Mr. Stafford reported the City has received a letter
from one Stowe Avenue resident recommending the line in the Katie Lane easement be removed.
But if the line is placed in the Stowe Avenue right-of-way, then all of the residents on Stowe
Avenue would have to reorient their service cOlmections. He estimated the cost for the new line
and service hookups would be well over $100,000. Since the sewer line is not in bad condition,
he recommends it be left as is and keep the Katie Lane easement open to aid proper maintenance.
Mr. Stafford recommended the Council adopt Resolution #98-22, Approving Plans and
Specifications and Ordering Advertisement for Bids for the 1998 Street Improvement Project.
Councilmember Keim clarified that the letter was from a resident on Katie Lane, not Stowe
Avenue. She reviewed the ages of the homes on Katie Lane and Stowe Avenue.
In response to Councilmember Malone, Mr. Ringwald advised the lots in the Katie Lane .
subdivision have homes which are located ten feet forward in order to accommodate this sanitary
easement.
MOTION: Councilmember Hicks moved and Councilmember Aplikowski seconded a .'
motion to adopt Resolution #98-22, Approving Plans and Specifications and
Ordering Advertisement for Bids, 1998 Street Improvement Project.
Ernst Hunt. 1986 Glenpaul Avenue, stated he assumes the curb, stormsewer and blacktop
project will be discussed in the future and residents will again be invited to attend. Mayor Probst
stated this is correct and they will be notified next year when discussion occurs.
Tom Whittle, 1867 Glenpaul Avenue, stated he attended the meeting last December and would
like the City to reconstruct with curbs and storm sewer before too much time passes. He agreed
with the staff recommendation that an overlay is not II good idea to construct at this time.
Mr. Fritsinger advised staff received a letter from the property owner of 1932 Glenpaul Avenue
expressing concern about the reconstruction project.
Linda Hunt, 1986 Glenpaul Avenue, stated she has no problem with the reconstruct but she
does not like curbing. She stated she also believes it would lower the project cost to not have
curbing.
.

ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - FEBRUARY 9. 1998 5
. Mr. Brown explained curbing is an important aspect of a road reconstruction project to assist
with drainage, to protect the edge of the asphalt from erosion, and to provide a better
environment for maintenance.
Vince Linders 1945 Glenpaul Avenue, inquired regarding the life expectancy for a
reconstructed roadway. Mr. Brown stated it is 20 years according to MnDOT standards but that
many roads, with minor maintenance, can last 30 to 35 years. He explained the layers of
construction which are put into place under a reconstructed roadway.
Mr. Linders reviewed how roadways are constructed in North Oaks which do not contain curb
and gutter. Mr. Brown noted those roadways often contains ditches which provide for drainage
away from the roadways. In Arden Hills, there are no ditch areas to address storm drainage.
Mr. Linders asked if it is possible to construct Glenpaul Avenue without storm sewer. Mr.
Brown stated it may be possible but he would not recommend it.
Mr. Linders asked how much notice residents will receive and if they could be given four to five
years notice. Mayor Probst stated since Glenpaul A venue was pulled from the project this year
due to the soil boring information, he expects it will be added to the project for next year.
Mr. Linders asked if the City can leave it as it is for five years to allow residents to start saving
for this improvement. Mr. Brown explained that they will reevaluate all of the City's roadways,
. including Glenpaul Avenue, to determine which roadways need to be addressed first. Mr.
Linders asserted there are other roadways in Arden Hills that are in worse shape than Glenpaul
Avenue.
Ms. Rem stated the issues involved with curb and gutter will not go away. She reported on. her
conversation with the Watershed District about the benefit of curb and gutter. Ms. Rem noted
most of the runoff in Arden Hills goes into ponds or wetlands. She stated the Watershed District
had indicated to her they would prefer an urban design with a grass edge to filter runoff before it
enters the wetlands. Ms. Rem asked if it is really cost effective to require curb and gutter which
may not benefit drainage into wetlands. She asked whether it may be better to invest these funds
into getting more roadways completed.
Mayor Probst stated the City does believe it is cost effective. Also, Arden Hills does not have a
storm drainage system so curb and gutter helps to direct drainage. Mayor Probst noted the City
has been'installing grit chambers at the request of the. Watershed District.
Mr. Brown clarified that Arden Hills does not have many urban section streets but, rather, streets
with grass curbs where water runoff collects sediment more than if concrete curbs were present.
He stated the solution is to install ponding. where appropriate, and grit chambers.
The motion carried unanimously (5-0).

C. Stop Sign Request, Dunlap Street N. at Tiller Lane .
Mr. Stafford explained the Public Safety Commission Chairperson, Ramsey County Deputy John
Tholen, brought it to the City's attention that there have been a number of accidents at the
intersection of Dunlap Street N. and Tiller Lane, and recommends the installation of stop signs
on Dunlap. Staff sent letters to the most effected residents of this request. One resident called
and indicated support for installing the stop signs. Mr. Stafford noted this is an area of restricted
view due to pine trees and is a main thoroughfare. He recommended the Council approve the
installation of stop signs on Dunlap Street N.
Mr. Fritsinger reported he received a call from the resident at 3363 Dunlap who supported the
stop signs but expressed some concern with regard to the speed on Tiller Lane and whether it
would be affected.
MOTION: Councilmember Hicks moved and Councilmember Keim seconded a motion to
authorize the installation of stop signs at the intersection of Dunlap Street N. and
Tiller Lane, as recommended by the Public Safety Commission. The motion
carried unanimously (5-0).
D. Authorize Special Council Meeting, Tuesday, February 17, 1998 at 4:45 p.m.,
Gateway Business District, Bond Sale Bid Award
It was noted the Council is asked to authorize a special Council meeting on Tuesday, February .
17, 1998 at 4:45 p.m. to discuss the final bond sale in the Gateway Business District (GBD).
MOTION: Councilmember Malone moved and Councilmember Aplikowski seconded a
motion to schedule a special Council meeting on Tuesday, February 17, 199.S at
4:45 p.m. to discuss the bond sale bid award for the Gateway Business District.
The motion carried unanimously (5-0).
E. Welsh Companies, Planning Case #97-06, Modification of Condition
Mr. Kevin Ringwald, Community Development Director, explained the Council is asked to
consider a request from Welsh Development regarding a clarification on a condition to the PUD.
This request relates to the traffic study and ability to construct additional square footage prior to
the signalization/improvement of Round Lake Road. Mr. Ringwald explained that at that point
in time, the City was looking at two phases with the third phase to follow. The developer had
planned to initially develop Phase II with just over 100,000 square feet and Phase IV of 72,000
square feet, which allowed the developer time to start construction and the City time to
reconstruct the intersection of Round Lake Road and Highway 96.
Mr. Ringwald reported that earlier this month, Welsh informed the City that AmberJack
(purchaser of Phase II) also wants to purchase Phase III and wants to start construction on both
buildings in March of 1998. Also, Apache Paper is looking at the Phase IV building and that
construction will be well over the 200,000 square foot "mark" which was a condition of the .
approval. Mr. Ringwald explained that earlier this week it was determined the traffic
engineering company study was a little "off the mark" since they had not included traffic from
!i....,.. :.,-~.-:. :.'_.~,'f"'l
UC1: J.;t.r I
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - FEBRUARY 9 1998 7
. Phase I of 155,00 square feet in their report. Therefore, there is about 45,000 square feet of
capacity before an upgrade is needed. He noted the closing date is coming up and the developer
wants to move forward with all three phases. The most optimistic estimate for intersection
completion is mid- to late-fall but Welsh wants to occupy the buildings in August. This would
conservatively result in a 75 day window that buildings would be occupied and roads not
functioning in an appropriate manner.
Mr. Ringwald stated a meeting was held with people involved and they looked at three options:
I. Leave the PUD condition in place which means the buildings could be started but not occupied
until the roads are done. (However, since there are some tenant obligations and in process of
selling their buildings that would cause problems and may kill the deal); 2. Install temporary
signalization at Round Lake Road and Highway 96 that would require signalizing the ramp
which would be cost prohibitive and require Mn/DOT approval which may not be received in a
timely manner; 3. Install a different type of control structure, one or two police officers at that
intersection at given times. Mr. Ringwald advised that this system is being successfully used by
the Blaine Airport. Staffs estimate of$30,OOO is based on $40 per hour per deputy for two
deputies for five hours per day for seventy-five days. Staff has not received a confirmation of the
price from the Sheriff Deputy office.
Mr. Ringwald stated the City is moving towards closing (February 13, 1998) and sale of the
bonds. He noted that although it may be inconvenient, the intersection could operate with a
police officer being present. Mr. Ringwald advised the Council will need to deal with who
. would pay for it. It is staff s perspective that this is an opportunity cost for the developer and that
dollar amount should come from their side. Mr. Ringwald noted staff gave the Council releases
from the Governor's office with regard to proposed class rate structure changes in the tax laws
for commercial/industrial properties. He noted the City has already expended more than first
thought for soils and brick upgrades and, with each item added, the cash flow becomes less, Mr.
Ringwald pointed out that putting this Phase on line now increases tax revenue on Phase III by 12
to 18 months. He reported staff recommends approval ofthe requested modification to state:
"Issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy permits for Phases II, III, and IV is subject to Welsh
Companies agreeing to reimburse the City of Arden Hills for its costs associated with studying
and implementing of temporary control structures which are acceptable to the City of Arden Hills
at the intersection of Round Lake Road/Highway 96 to facilitate development of Phases II, III,
and IV in 1998." Mr. Ringwald advised that a 4/5 vote of the Council is required for approval.
Mr. Ringwald noted the developer's bench handout explaining their side.
Mayor Probst asked what would trigger using police officers for patrolling. Mr. Ringwald stated
this would happen as soon as the building is occupied since occupancy will increase traffic
through the intersection.
Mayor Probst noted there is a potential for the occupant to manage the time of arrival by shifting
start times so not all employees are entering or leaving at the same time. He stated he thinks the
cost estimate for the patrol officers may be on the high range.
. Mr. Ringwald stated he does not know if tenants for Phase III have been identified but the first
two phases probably have tenants lined up.

Dick Zehring, Welsh Development, stated he believe this is good news. He explained the .
traffic study indicated that once the stacking and waiting time gets to about 90 seconds, it
becomes a "Level F" of service intersection which is inconvenient and starts evasive behavior by
motorists. He stated the empirical data will occur at some point in going from the "E" to the "F"
level. He stated there will be some flexibility in using the police officer for patrol. He estimated
that the occupancy of the Phase II or the Phase III building will result in the need for patrol
services. Mr. Zehring stated they are happy to report the project continues to progress and
commented that everyone is surprised at the traffic engineer's study. He noted that bringing on
Phase III at this time will create more TIF proceeds, about $250,000, which can be underwritten.
Mr. Zehring stated it is important to use all deliberate speed to complete the intersection project
so the police are not needed any more than necessary.
Councilmember Hicks stated the numbers assume the realignment takes place and there are some
permanent light fixtures installed by November of 1998. Mr. Ringwald stated this is correct and
they hope to start August I to August 15. They plan to install the wear course and signalization
prior to the November deadline. Mr. Ringwald indicated he is concerned about obtaining
favorable bids. He explained this process cannot start until the bonds are issued.
Councilmember Hicks asked if the City will be able to complete acquisition without any major
"snags." Mr. Ringwald advised the schedule does include time for some minor "snags" and
allows the City to look at various options with regard to acquisition. Also, staff has talked with
Ramsey COLmty with regard to their cost participation.
Mayor Probst stated he believes, based on conversations, it is likely that Indykiewicz will be .
willing sellers and there is no indication they would refuse to sell. Mr. Fritsinger stated staff has
held several meetings and the Indykiewiczs have indicated as long as they are treated fairly they
have no objection. Mr. Ringwald noted that this property will also involve relocation ofthyir
residence and business.
Councilmember Hicks stated his concern with this issue. He noted the developer has indicated a
willingness to pay for the patrol services with a cap of$30,000. Councilmember Hicks stated
based on staff's memo the earliest date to complete construction of the intersection would be
OctoberlNovember. He stated he is uneasy about considering an estimate of $30,000. Mr.
Ringwald explained staff is still working on this estimate and the rate per hour that would be
paid.
Mayor P~obst stated he is prepared to support modif}r.ing the language as requested and is
comfortable directing staff to work with the developer to determine when patrol services are
needed. However, he does not support considering a "cap" on the amount which the developer
will pay. Mayor Probst stated he believes some traffic management options exist with regard to
start and stop times which would lower that cost.
Councilmember Malone concurred and commented there may be some low-tech solutions. He
asked if the tenants would consider a right turn only, or to stripe Highway 96 east bound for a left
lane. Councilmember Malone stated he would support trying those low-tech options first. .

. Councilmember Aplikowski stated she is concerned about the traffic congestion that may result
and is wiling to agree with the patrol officer and lane striping as suggested. She stated until there
is a firm estimate she would not support considering a "cap" and believes that would be
premature to consider at this time.
Councilmember Keim asked if a turn lane would increase traffic on Highway 10 and support the
Mn/DOT proposal for a fly over of Highway 10.
Mr. Brown stated identifying a left turn and right turn on Round Lake Road would be a good
option to consider.
MOTION: Council member Hicks moved and Council member Aplikowski seconded a
motion relating to the construction of additional square footage prior to the
signalization/improvement of Round Lake Road and Highway 96 for Welsh
Companies in Planning Case #97-06 to approve the modification of PUD
condition I to indicate: "Issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy permits for
Phases II, III, and IV is subject to Welsh Companies agreeing to reimburse the
City of Arden Hills for its costs associated with studying and implementing of
temporary control structures which are acceptable to the City of Arden Hills at the
intersection of Round Lake Road/Highway 96 to facilitate development of Phases
II, III, and IV in 1998" which will allow occupancy of Phases II, III and IV subject
to the developer working with staff and the City to determine and put into place
. temporary structures at Round Lake Road and Highway 96 until permanent
improvement in that intersection is made with the cost for any temporary structure
or patrolling at the developer's expense. The motion carried unanimously (5-0).
ADMINISTRATOR COMMENTS
Mr. Fritsinger requested Council questions with regard to the Athletic Field discussion.
Mr. Fritsinger reported on the status of closing relationship with Howard Green.
COUNCIL COMMENTS
Councilmember Aplikowski requested that a five-year plan be created when the streets are
reevaluated so it can be on display for residents to better understand the timing of street
improvements. ,
Mayor Probst reported on the meeting held this past week and discussion about the athletic field
complex. He explained it has been determined there is no location that would serve this need
except the TCAAP facility. Also, the Comprehensive Plan identified that area for this type of
facility. Mayor Probst estimated the City is probably two to three years away from getting that
land. He advised there will be further discussion and more information will be available in April
. or May. Mayor Probst advised the Community Park and Recreation Directors were asked to look
at all of the facilities in their community and identify where opportunities exist or where areas
could be converted or expanded to make better use of those facilities.

motion carried unanimously (5-0).
CITY ISSUES - SHORT TERM
a. Lake Josephine Abatement. Anderson
. Mr. Ringwald updated the City Council on a potential abatement of nuisance property consisting
of two apparently vacant buildings, located on the northeast comer of Lake Josephine, and
sought historical information from Council, prior to staff initiating abatement proceedings at this
time.
Mr. Post advised staff and Councilmembers that the property was not abandoned, and remained
an active utility account, but appeared to be uninhabitable property in its current state.
Council members and staff concurred that the Council's previous action appeared to have
consisted of the property being declared a nuisance, a court injunction being issued by the
property owner, then at that point, the file stops with no further correspondence after 1993 as to
why the procedure was halted.
Council directed staff to proceed with initiation of abatement proceedings.
b. 1998 Assessment Rate
Mr. Fritsinger requested Council direction regarding the Council's preferred procedure for
establishment of the 1998 assessment rates. Mr. Fritsinger stated that, historically, the Council
had set the rates at the time of the Assessment Hearing, rather than prior to the Hearing.
. Discussion items included various assessment practices; actual project cost in relation to
-~
-
DRAFT
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORKSESSION - FEBRUARY 17. 1998 2
.
projected costs and the effect on the City's budget projections; per foot cost comparisons with
neighboring communities; and the need to continue installation of curb and gutter for stormwater
control.
Staff was directed to work with the City's consulting engineer to provide information to residents
at various future hearings. This information included past rates and the cause for the increase per
year in footage costs. This could be used to emphasize to residents the point that waiting for the
work to be completed may not be in their best financial interests. Other items would include the
history of maintenance on specific streets.
Mr. Fritsinger advised Councilmembers that staff and the consulting engineer would have
preliminary information available at the Worksession prior to the Assessment Hearing to allow
Council members to review any specific unusual proposed assessments.
Council directed staff to have the consulting engineer prepare the proposed rates in order to
establish the assessment rate for 1998 prior to the actual Assessment Hearing.
c. Group Life. Short-Term. and Long-Term Disabilitv Insurance
Mr. Fritsinger reviewed quotes recently received for Short-Term Disability, Long-Term .
Disability, and Life 1nsurance coverages, per previous Council direction. Due to the pending
expiration of the rate quotes, staff sought Council direction on this portion of the City's
employee benefit package.
Mr. Fritsinger reviewed existing coverage in comparison to proposed coverage, with an
estimated maximum cost increase for the City of $4,000 per year total for all non-union
employees. Mr. Fritsinger stated that the City would need to provide notice to the Local 49 and
propose re-opening the existing contract. Mr. Fritsinger advised Councilmembers that the sick
leave/severance components of the proposed plan would be the most complicated issues to be
negotiated.
Council directed staff to bring the short-term, long-term and life insurance proposal to the
February 23, 1998 Council meeting as an action item for consideration.
d. Kenna Property Update
Ms. Walsh provided a brief update to the Council on the status of the Kenna Park property, and
sought direction on whether staff should proceed further in seeking to acquire Fee Title to the
property, and possible long-term implications. Councilmember Hicks, City Attorney Filla, and
Mr. Tom Mulcahy had each been researching this project.
Discussion items included, the need for the City to have a clear title, as a matter of principle; cost .
of proceeding with title search and ultimate value of the land; future plans for the property and
. - DRAFT
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORKSESSION - FEBRUARY 17. 1998 3
.
legality of releasing dedicated park lands; the City's intention for no variances to be issued on the
property; status of taxes and property classification; reduction in the Snelling A venue Right-of-
Way to make the lots buildable; and the type of action to be taken in acquiring the title.
Council directed staff to continue working with Councilmember Hicks in attempting to contact
Mr. Kenna for his response and closure on this item.
e. Alliant Techsystems
Mr. Fritsinger reviewed a January 29, 1998 letter received from Alliant Techsystems, in response
to a February 25, 1997 letter to Alliant from the City inquiring about Alliant's interest in meeting
to explore potential consolidation. Mr. Fritsinger sought direction on the long-term ramification
of Alliant's interest, and in determining when and if the City was interested in pursuing
consolidated Phase II planning efforts for TCAAP. Mr. Fritsinger stated that he was anticipating
another letter from Alliant within the next week, detailing more precisely Alliant's intentions.
Mayor Probst stated that, contrary to public statements, Alliant had apparently changed their
position on their future at TCAAP, following their union negotiations several years ago, and their
ability to pursue outsourcing options. Mayor Probst discussed previous inquiries received by the
. City from Alliant over the past year, and the City's initial request for Alliant to delay further
action for several months due to other pending City priorities. Mayor Probst stated it was clear
that Alliant was again aggressively pursuing future TCAAP planning, and seeking public
participation in their restructuring process.
Mayor Probst stated that he has suggested to Alliant that they provide some financial incentives
for the City to pursue a consolidated planning effort, but that Alliant has not pursued this avenue
to-date. Mayor Probst advised Councilmembers and staff that, since the City is ultimately
responsible for fire and police protection, as well as infrastructure improvements at TCAAP, it
was imperative that the City maintain an active leadership role.
Discussion items included, past and pending legislation regarding the GSA excessing process
and research being done by DOD attorneys; Alliant's investment in the process and proposed
consolidation; Alliant's environmental responsibilities on TCAAP; excessing and the GSA
honoring the City's comprehensive plan; Alliant's national presence to draw on a broader base
for necessary legislation to potentially by-pass the GSA process; whether the City wished to have

which staff confirmed.
Mr. Fritsinger advised Council that he had met with City Attomey Filla and the City of

uses in the GBD; interstate commerce issues; and other matters.
Shoreview Traffic Study
Mayor Probst expressed concern regarding various assumptions in a recent Shoreview
Traffic Study, stating it basically ignored future development and related traffic issues at

study and comment.

. MEMORANDUM
DATE: February 17, 1998
TO: Brian Fritsinger, City Administrator
FROM: Dwayne Stafford, Public Works Director Os .
SUBJECT: Water Line Easement
Backerollnd
The City of Arden Hills has been asked by Mr. Thomas Lynch, to accept conveyance of
easements, for purposes of access to a water service. The proposed easements lay parallel to
Hamline Avenue, and are located on the Thompson property at 3210 Hamline Avenue and the
Lynch property at 3220 Hamline Avenue North.
It appears to the Public Works Director, that Mr. Lynch was assessed for watermain installation;
however, his lot at 3220 Hamline Avenue was not provided a service stub.
When Mr. Lynch built on that property, he approved for the City to tap into the existing line
servicing 3210 Hamline, which he also owned at that time, instead of crossing Hamline Avenue
. and connecting to the watermain, as typically done.
The easements requested would be for the segment of water service from the tap at 3210
Hamline Avenue to the shut off valve at 3220 Hamline Avenue, as shown on the attached
drawing.
Recommendation
The City of Arden Hills Public Works Director recommends the City accept the proposed
easements as described in the attached documents, which have been signed by all affected
parties.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: February 23, 1998
TO: CiIT C,""dl ~
FROM: Kevm Rmgwald, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: February Planning Cases 98-02 & 98-04
1. Case #98-02, Variance - Side Yard Setback (garage & house addition), Sawhorse, Inc.
(Joel & Jane Kennedy), 3465 Seims Court
Request. The applicant is requesting approval of a side yard setback variance for a garage
addition (seven feet proposed, when ten feet is required) and for a house addition (seven feet,
when ten feet is required) on a single family lot zoned R-I (Exhibit A).
Background. The Planning Commission on June 3, 1991, recommended approval in
Planning Case #92-10 for a side yard setback variance for a garage addition (seven feet
proposed, when ten feet is required) on the subject property (Exhibit B). The City Council
. on June 8, 1992, approved the variance request (Exhibit C).
The garage addition that was proposed in Planning Case #92-10 provided the property owner
with the ability to expand their one-car garage into a two-car garage. The garage addition
was not built. Subsequent to the City's approval, the property has been sold to a ne'-Y owner
(Joel and Jane Kennedy) who in conjunction with their contractor (Sawhorse, Inc.) wish to
build the garage addition. However, the Zoning Ordinance in Section VIII, F, 2, states in
relevant part that: "Approval shall automatically expire and become void one (I) year from
and after the date on which the council granted such approval if the building permit or other
approved improvements have not been issued a permit by the building inspector." Therefore,
the approval granted in Planning Case #92-10 expired on June 8, 1993.
As a note, the current request for a side yard setback variance (house addition) was not part
of the approval granted in Planning Case #92-10. Therefore in this request, Staff will be
analyzing the variance for the garage addition and the variance for the house addition
separately.
Deadline for Agency Actions. The City of Arden Hills received the complete application
for this request on January 15,1998. Pursuant to Minnesota State Statute the City must act
on this request by Monday, March 16, 1998 (60 days), unless the City provides the petitioner
with written reasons for an additional 60 day review period. The additional review period
. would extend to Friday, May 15, 1998. The City may with the petitioners consent extend
the review period beyond the Friday, May 15, 1998, date.
m
Lastly, if the City denies the petitioners request, "... it must state in writing the reasons for .
the denial at the time that it denies the request."
Recommendations. The Planning Commission, in Planning Case 98-02, recommends
denial of a side yard setback variance for the house addition (seven feet proposed, when ten
feet is required) based on the "Findings-Side Yard Setback Variance (house addition)"
section of the Staff report dated Febmary 4,1998.
The Planning Commission, in Planning Case 98-02, recommends approval of a side yard
setback variance for the garage addition (seven feet proposed, when ten feet is required)
based on the "Findings-Side Yard Setback Variance (garage addition)" section of the Staff
report dated February 4, 1998, subject to compliance with the applicable portions (related
to the garage) of Exhibit A, pages 7 of9 and 9 01'9 and requiring erosion control and turf
establishment.
Updates. The applicant has provided additional documentation to support their request
(Exhibit B). Additionally, the applicant at the meeting will have a revised building elevation
to showing just the garage addition.
2. Case #98-04, Special Use Permit (concept approval), Ramsey County-Tony Schmidt Park,
3500 Lake Johanna Boulevard
Request. The applicant requests concept approval ofa Special Use Permit (SUP)for planned .
upgrades to Tony Schmidt Park (Exhibit C).
Background. Ramsey County is proposing to redevelop Tony Schmidt Park in Arden Hills.
The redevelopment consists of improvements in the area of the Lake Johanna Beach and the
creation of an extensive trail network from this point up to the parks northerly terminus on
County Road F, west of the Mounds View High School. The redevelopment plan was
accomplished with the assistance of the Tony Schmidt Park Task Force. The City of Arden
Hills was represented on the task force by: Gregg Larson (Planning Commission); Jim
Johnson (Parks and Recreation Commission); David Wold (Resident); Kristine Poelzer
(Resident); and Tom Mulcahy (Resident).
Tony Schmidt Park contains a unique mixture of active and passive recreational areas as well
as natural areas within its boundaries. The active areas are generally at the southern one-
third of the park, on either side of Lake Johanna Boulevard. These active areas include the
beach and picnic area as well as play areas. The northern two-thirds of the park primarily
contains passive recreational and natural areas. This area of the park is dominated by a large
wetland complex which conveys the water from the City's lakes to Rice Creek. The concept
plan provides for five trail heads into the park. Those trailheads are: Lake Johanna Beach;
Lake Johanna recreation area (north of Lake Johanna Boulevard); Hudson Road; Ramsey
County Library; and Mounds View High School.
.
--.--,
. The Lake Johanna Beach area is in dire need of upgrading. The concept plan provides for
its modernization, while maintaining its current essential functions (ie., beach, beach house,
play area, picnic area, and boat launch). The upgrading of this area is constrained by the
relative locations of Lake Johanna Boulevard and Lake Johanna. The principal area of
discussion related to this area seem to be the pedestrian linkage to the area to the north and
the amount of parking at the boat launch.
The Lake Johanna recreation area (north of Lake Johanna Boulevard) has been redesigned
to accommodate the needs oflarge group outings, inclLlding parking. The principal area of
discussion related to this area seems to relate to the safety of the unpaved trail adjacent to
Lake Johanna Boulevard.
The Hudson Road area is a part of the park which is currently thc most under utilized portion
of the park for park purposes. This area contains the Ramsey County compost site, which
is proposed to be kept as part of this plan. The concept plan provides for a picnic shelter and
parking lot to the south of Hudson Road, with numerous trails emanating outward from this
trailhead.
The major impediment to moving people and animals to the Ramsey County Library
trailhead is the Minneapolis, Saint Paul, and Sault Saint Marie Railroad right-of-way. The
plan provides for an underpass, as wcll as links through Charles Perry Park, to link the
northern and southern portions of the park into a cohesive unit. North of the tracks the park
. would consist entirely of trails and natural areas.
Deadline for Agency Actions. The City of Arden Hills received the complete application for
this request on January 11, 1998. Pursuant to Minnesota State Statute the City must act on this
request by Thursday, March 12, 1998 (60 days), unless the City provides the petitioner with
written reasons for an additional 60 day review period. The additional review period would
extend to Monday, May II, 1998. The City may with the petitioners consent extend the
review period beyond the Monday, May II, 1998 date.
Lastly, if the City denies the petitioners request, "... it must state in writing the reasons for the
denial at the time that it denies the request."
Recommendation. The Planning Commission recommends approval of the Special Use
Permit (Concept), in Planning Case 98-04, subject to the following conditions:
1. Submittal for site plan approval prior 10 the commencement of construction of any
part or phase of this project.
2. Compliance with the zoning determination of Exhibit D, pages I and 2 of2 of the
Staff memorandum dated February 4,1998.
3. Compliance with the City's Shoreland Ordinance.
4. Encouragement to the City Council to address, with Ramsey County, to the extent
necessary, signage on both sides of Lake Johanna Boulevard and east of the parking
. areas to address overflow boat and car parking on both sides of Lake Johanna
Boulevard.
5. Pavement of the trail which is offset from the north side of Lake Johanna Boulevard
from Seims Court all the way to the west to terminate on County Road E at the main .
trail (NSP Easement).
Updates. None.

re. Kennedy Variance application
3465 Siems Court
Character of Neighborhood
Being one of the smaller homes in the area, this colonial "'-l'ansion style bome is in need
of both updating and additional square footage on the main level The added space would
pro,ide a much needed second garage stall and enlarge kitcho-olfamily room areas to fit
needs of today' s lifestyles.
Similar size lots in the area do not appear to have the disparity in lake side Set back from
adjacent neighbors that this property has. In addition most side property setbacks of
homes in the area appear to vary on the left and right, our proposal would fit this style.
The curb side appeal would seem to be a Mtural to add the additional space to the north.
Optional Designs
Ntern.tivc designs that would comply to setbacks, namely an addition that would extend
toward the l.ake, could adversely affect our owners ,iew of Lake Jobanna from varioU.'l
rooms as well as existing lake views of the neighbor on the north. Also, because of the
current side yard and lake set back from the south neighbor, a lake side addition on the
south setback would create a narrow tunneling affect that would not be desirable to either
property O\>'l1er. The design of adding living space near the north propert)' line seems to
respond to both neighboring properties with the most respect.
In conclusion with the side yard variance for both garage and living sp~ the project
would not affect lake views of either neighbor, and would actually improve the drainage
",ith respect to their neighbor to the north. The owners also feel that the addition
proposed is the most aesthetically pleasing option from both street and lake side elevations
that fulfills their needs. Please also see attached notes from prc,iously approved 1992
variance fur garage only addition.
. ... .
Sincerely, .

In rosp<l<U<' to your !otter daled 2/131'/8, wbich wc received 2/171'/8. In our professiOtl4! opillion, placing
1I1e proposed family rootn addition behind the gar.ge (... drawing #1) is the most reo.sooabk option for
adding the desired living space to the property named above.
It is also our opinion the altanative location suggested by your department (see drawing 1f2), .. well as
other solution< explOfed during the design ~... while 1I1ey would be in setbo.ck compliance, they would
<re3le situations which we feel should be ~d;
1. The alternative plan c...u:os a narrow tunneling effect that would not be desirable to eithor
neighbor on the north or: our clients.
2. It would adversely effoct our homeowners and the neighbon lake vioow.
3. It cre3leS an informal space in . formal part of the home.
4. It positions living space 10 feet Of closer to their neighbor on the south (as opposed In more
than 35 feet ifI~ t<>the north), also because ofneighhors set badc.s .Ilows for a 10 foot.
or less separation between. .tructun:s as opposed 10 13' 5"_
5. It sacrifices a large part of a much valued deck, therefore laking .way outSide space.
6. Not to affoct 2" floor views - it would need In be a flat roof design which would adversely
affect the ch......... of the home.. well as the neighborhood..
7. Lastly, this option woUld cost ~ly 3 times as much
In conctiLsion, thi: de<ign as ptoposed by SawhOrse mainwl13 much desired views of the lake, while
m.ai.n13ining outdoor space. Ibm are viewed by our owner and neighbors and kups the greal<sl separat;oo

CITY OF ARDEN HILLS
. MEMORANDUM
DATE: February 18, 1998
TO: Mayor and City Council ,
FROM: Cindy S. Walsh, Parks and Recreation Director C~
SUBJECT: Resolution 98-29 Supporting the DNR Cooperative Trail Grant
Application
Background
I applied for this same grant in 1997 from the Department o I' Natural Resources. I have been
encouraged by the DNR to apply for the Cooperative Trails Grant again in 1998.
The emphasis of this program is to promote access between people and desirable destinations,
The grant's primary purpose is to complete trail connections between where people live and
significant public recreation facilities. A secondary purpose is to link existing trail segments.
County Road F Segment
. This segment could potentially qualify for funds because of the connection it would makc with
the trail system in Shoreview and Vadnais Heights. The original intent was to construct the trail
along the north side on County Road F. Greg Brown, City Engineer with BR W, concurs with
this decision. We will be exploring opportunities to minimize the effect of the trail on abutting
property owners.
This grant application will include a segment north of County Road F to our existing trail. I
believe that this would be a safer situation for pedestrians than crossing at the Hamline and
County Road F intersection to connect with the side walk.
Time lines for Completing the Grant
The grant matches money up to $50,000, The money can be used until May 1, 2001. The grant
is due March 31, 1998.
Estimated Cost and Funding
City Engineer, Greg Brown, has estimated the cost of the project to be $92,825. We are hoping
that this is a conservative estimate. In addition, BRW , has estimated a 23% overhead to cover
engineering, administration and a 5% contingency. Thus, the total amount to be submitted for
the grant is $114,669. Based on this estimate, the City's portion of the cost would be $ 64,669.
The grant will only fund up to $50,000, I am assuming that the City's portion would come from
the Park Fund,

MEMORANDUM
DATE: February 19, 1998
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Brian Fritsinger, City Administrato~j
SUBJECT: Insurance Benefits
Background
Over the past few months, the City Council has discussed a variety of issues related to the
Personnel Policy. During this period of time, staff has investigated how to integrate the various
life and health insurance, and STD and L TD coverages with the Personnel Policy.
At that time, the City Council directed staffto investigate the specific costs for these coverages
and present them to the City Council. Due to the delay in receiving the health insurance quotes,
staff would like to proceed on the Life, STD and L TD coverages before the rate guarantee
expires. Staff reviewed these rates with the City Council at its February 17, 1998 Worksession
. and was directed to place it on the regular Council meeting agenda for discussion and action.
Insurance Contributions
The City currently provides each employee with $310 per month that is used to offset the costs of
life, health and dental insurances, along with short-term disability. In the case of the Local 49
employees, the bargaining agreement requires them to only use the monthly contribution for life,
health and dental insurance. They pay all STD costs out-of-pocket in order to avoid tax
implications.
1. Group Life Insurance
a. Current
The City currently provides each employee with $10,000 of life insurance
through Minnesota Mutual. The total cost of this coverage is $672 per
year. ,
b. Proposed
Staff has solicited proposals, based on the direction of City Council, which
would provide each employee with a life benefit amount of 1 x salary to a
maximum of$50,000. The decision to limit the benefit to $50,000 is due
to tax purposes. Employees would still have the option to purchase
. additional coverage at their cost.
..' '"
Memorandum - Personnel PolicylInsurance Benefits
Page Two .
February 19, 1998
This coverage would be a defined benefit provided at the cost of the City.
The total cost for providing this coverage through Fortis Benefits
Insurance Co. is $1,970 per year. This rate is guaranteed for 27 months.
The increased annual cost to the City for providing this coverage is
$1,298,
2. Short-Term Disabilitv
a. Current
The City currently provides short-term disability through Minnesota
Mutual. The benefit amount is limited to $200 per week for non-union
employees, Union employees pay the full cost of their STD benefit of
$300 per week. The total cost for $200 of benefit for the non-union
employees is $1,404 per year.
b. Proposed
Staff solicited proposals that would provide each employee with STD.
There is a variety of components as part of STD that must be evaluated to
determine which coverage best fits the need of City employees. .
The STD coverage being proposed has the following specifics:
. Begins 1st day of accident/8th day of illness
. Benefit duration is 13 weeks
. Benefit amount will be 60% of earnings, with $1 ,000/week
maximum
The total cost for providing this coverage through Fortis Benefits
Insurance Company is $2,391.84. This rate is guaranteed for 15 months.
The increased cost to the City for providing this coverage is $987.84.
3. Lonl!-Term Disability
a. Current
The City does not currently offer long-term disability insurance coverage.
.
..
. Memorandum - Personnel Policy/Insurance Benefits
Page Three
February 19, 1998
b. Proposed
Again, staff solicited proposals which would provide an L TD insurance
benefit at the cost of the City. Similar to STD, there are a variety of
components which must be evaluated to determine which coverage best
fits the need of City employees.
The L TD coverage being proposed has the following specifics:
. Begins at 3 months (13 weeks)
. Benefit duration is 36 months
. Benetit amount will be 60% of earnings, with a $5,000/month
maxImum
. No limit on self-reported injury limit
The total cost for providing this coverage through Fortis Benefits
Insurance Company is $1,727.16. This rate is guaranteed for 27 months.
Summary of Lift/STD/LTD Insurance Proposals
The proposal of Fortis Benefits for these three coverages is made for several reasons. First, the
. rates are competitive for the coverage offered. Second, the coverage for these items is seamless.
In other words, the change from STD to L TD for an employee is simplified due to the coverage
being handled by the same company. Third, the company has both a local customer service and
claims unit.
The total cost for these three coverages is $6,089. In providing these three coverages at its.cost,
rather than the employee, the City will incur an increased cost each year in the amount of$4,OI3.
This cost is for non-union employees only.
Other Items
Staff is also preparing some alternative proposals for changes to the Sick Leave and Severance
components of the Personnel Policy. These changes will hopefully dovetail the addition of the
STD, L TD, and Life Insurance identified above.
Request.
Staff recommends adoption of Resolution #98-30, Authorizing Changes to the Employee Benefit
Plan.

. CITY OF ARDEN HILLS
MEMORANDUM
DATE: February 20,1998
TO: Brian Fritsinger, City Administrator
FROM: Terrance Post, City Accountant @
SUBJECT: One-Day Off-Site Gambling Application
Back!!found
On February 18,1998, Bob Bloom, Gambling Manager of the Circle Pines/Lexington Lions Club
dropped off an application for Authorization to Conduct One-Day Off-Site Gambling (LG230). The
application references a proposed April 25, 1998 raffle activity at the Arden Hills Holiday Inn. Licensed
Gambling organizations are permitted one such off-site activity per year, with local jurisdiction approval.
Having not encountered such an application request during my tenure at the City, I looked to the City's
Code of Ordinances (Division 4. Gambling Devices) for direction in processing the application.
Unfortunately, the ordinance is silent on this situation.
. Issues
1. How would this benefit the community?
2. If approved, what control could be exerted on the organization?
Community Benefit
Booking the annual fund raiser dinner event at an Arden Hills hospitality establishment would certainly
benefit this business. From a broader community perspective, the organization has agreed to be bound
by the City's trade area spending requirement (50% of net profit for the event - Section 4-43) as are other
licensed gambling organizations in the city.
Enforcement Control
Because the City does not have the leverage of approval authority for premises permit renewal of this
organization in the future, the commitment to abide by the ordinance trade area spending requirement
cannot be effectively enforced. These types of off-site situations result in not being able to hold such
organizations to the same level of accountability as the other licensed gambling organizations in the City.
Recommendation
As this is a precedent-setting situation, staff has more of a philosophical than practical opposition to the
application under consideration. Staff would therefore ask Council consideration in adopting Resolution
#98-26, A Resolution Approving an Application for Authorization to conduct One-Day Off-Site
Gambling".

CITY OF ARDEN HILLS
. MEMORANDUM
DATE: February 23, 1998
TO: M,,,,,,,, Ci<, C,",dl ~
FROM: Kevin Ringwald, Community Development Directo
SUBJECT: Community Development Department Activities February of 1998
The following summarizes the activities of the Community Development Department for
February of 1998.
Planning and Zoning
1. City of Arden Hills, Zoning Ordinance amendment - prohibiting pawnshops,
Planning Case 98-03. The amendment would prohibit pavillshops from operating in the
City. The City Attorney has concluded that this activity does not involve constitutionally
protected activity and that the State Enabling Legislation provides Cities the flexibility on
whether or not to license these activities.
The Planning Commission is still moving forward on its proposed regulation of Adult
e Uses and Gunshops. I would anticipate that these amendments will be tentatively
discllsscd before the commission in April.
2. Francis Husnik, SUP amendment-storage building, 4605 Prior Avenue, Planning
Case 98-05. The owner of the Arden Manor Mobile Home Park is requesting an
amendment to the existing SUP to construct a three car storage building (garage) adjacent
to their offices.
3. Scott Roberts, Site Plan-retail building, 1160 Red Fox Road, Planning Case 98-06.
The owner wishes to construct a 15,000 square foot retail building on the vacant parcel at
the southeast corner of Red Fox Road and Dunlap Street. The site is currently a parking
lot for semi-trailers. The Staff has been working with the owner trying to correct that
code violation and upgrade that corner.
4. Bethel College, SUP amendment-traffic/Site Plan-dormitory/building expansion,
3900 Bethel Drive, Planning Case 98-07. 'Fhe applicant wishes to modify a condition of
their SUP (81-5) which deals with traffic from their campus. The SUP states: "Traffic
generated by the norrnal 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 (approximately 3200 to 3300 trips per day." As part oftheirrecent update of
their Master Plan, the applicant was directed to conduct a traffic study to determine its
compliance with this condition. The traffic study that was completed, by Stanley
. Consultants, concludes that the college is currently generating 4,840 trips per day and
could ultimately be as high as 5,670 trips per day.
m
Additionally, the traffic study concludes that the 1981 trip generation rate of six trips per
day per household rate used to calculate the 3200-3300 trips per day is lower than current
trip rates for households. Therefore, the request to amend the SUP to retlect current trip .
rates for households.
The site plan is for a new dormitory which is shown on the Master Plan. It includes a
height variance (40 feet). The Master Plan showed the dormitory as a walk out on a
hillside. The applicant wishes to save the oak trees on the hillside and so has pulled the
building to the toe of the slope, but in doing so has exposed the entire basement which
then causes the building to exceed the maximum height requirement of 35 feet.
Lastly, the applicant is also requesting approval for an expansion to their Science, Art,
and Technology building (adjacent to the Community Life Center). The expansion was
shown on the Master Plan. The request includes a height variance (40 feet). The existing
building exceeds the height requirement and the new addition would be the same height
as the existing building.
5. City of Arden Hills/Shepley, Variance-garage/street vacation, 1550 Oak Avenue,
Planning Case 98-08. The City as part of the Shepley Settlement Agreement is bound to
consider the granting of a variance for the Shepley house/garage. Additionally, the City
agreed to vacate certain excess right-of-way as a part of that Settlement Agreement.
6. Comprehensive Plan update. The Planning Commission will be hosting a City
Council/All Committee meeting on Wednesday, March 18, 1998, to discuss the e
Comprehensive Plan update. The meeting will be at 7:00 p.m. at the U.S. Army Reserve
Center. Invitations will be sent out within the next ten (10) days.
Protective Inspections
1. Building Permits (February). The City issued two commercial/industrial permit in
February. The first (#5937) was for a reroofing project ($170,000) at 1260 Red Fox Road.
The second (#5939) was for an office remodel (553,206) at 3900 Northwoods Drive.
In February, the City issued nine residential remodeling permits which ranged in value
from 5700.00 to 524,288.00 and had a total value of 597,497.00 and had an average value
of $1 0,833 .00.
2. Sign Permits. In Febmary, the City issued no sign permits.
Economic Develo\lment
1. Gateway Business District. It's closed.....It's closed....Contrary to popular belief this
project appears to be finally wrapping up. The construction of Phases II, III, and IV (ie.,
earthwork) will commence out on the site within the next ten days. The value of these
three buildings, which is conservatively estimated at 58,000,000 will once again jump
start the City revenues.
The City and Morris Communications also appcar to making headway with Mr. Vaughan .
on the tree's for access swap which will facilitate minimizing the height of the billboar,ds.
2. Cardiac Pacemakers, Incorporated. I will be meeting with CPI next week as they are
. contemplating constructing an additional 100,000 square feet of building on their Arden
Hill's campus in 1998 or 1999. This discussion will also explore the necessity ofa
parking ramp.
3. I-35W Corridor Coalition. The Coalition has been successful in getting legislation
authored which would provide a great amount of flexibility for the establishment and
maintenance of TIF districts within the Corridor. Additionally, legislation is also moving
forward for additional grant dollars for the continued operation of the Coalition.

CITY OF ARDEN HILLS
e MEMORANDUM
DATE: February 17, 1998
TO: Mayor and City Council !. .)
FROM: Cindy S. Walsh, Parks and Recreation Director Li) l
SUBJECT: February Department Report
Parks and Recreation Commission
The Commission spent the majority of their January meeting disCLlssing the Comprehensive Park
and Trail Plan. Kathy O'Connell from MFRA was present to provide information about the
content and purpose for the plan. The Commission will receive some Comp Plan information in
rough draft form to review for the February and March meeting.
The Commission and staff will meet with residents around Freeway and Cummings Parks
regarding play structure equipment at their Febntary 24 meeting.
Play structure Equipment Proposals
. I have received proposals for Freeway and Cummings parks from four companies. Residents
from these areas will be reviewing the stntctures and giving me feedback at the meeting on
February 24. The Parks and Recreation Commission will also have an opportunity to provide
feedback at this meeting. I plan to make a decision with regards to which stntctures to order by
the end of February.
Dav in the Park
The event is scheduled for Hazelnut Park on Saturday, June 6. Tracy and I are working on
scheduling the events. I did talk with several people from the Roseville Circulator about picking
up people at various parks to taking them to Hazelnut Park. The message I received was that
their routes are set and not subject to change of events.
Round Lake Trail Environmental Assessment Statement (EAS)
I have completed the City's portion of the EAS. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is in the
process of reviewing the request for a right-of-way permit. I hope to hear back from them by
April. It has not been decided if Welsh or the City would construct the trail, but trail
construction cannot begin until the City receives approval.
County Road F Grant
I am planning to resubmit the request for funding from the DNR for the trail along County Road
F. The trail would be designed directly behind the curb due to wetland, trees, and landscape
. issues that exist. The DNR has indicated that although it was not funded last year, the project did
rank high.
Trail Access Areas
The budget this year includes upgrades to three trail access areas. The improvements will result e
in an eight foot wide bituminous trail at Edgewater Avenue, Jerrold Avenue, and Katie Lane.
The Parks and Recreation Commission and staff meet with area residents in 1996 to discuss these
possible upgrades. The meeting was held at the request of several residents who wanted the trail
access easements paved. All of the residents in attendance at the meeting were in favor of paving
the easements. I did get calls from two individuals who live next to the area expressing a
concern that paving the areas would increase the use of the trail easement. It was the
recommendation ofthe Commission to pave these areas.
I would like some direction from the Council on how to notify residents that the areas will be
paved this Spring/Summer. The residents who attended the meeting are aware the change, but
those who did not choose to attend may not know.
Trail and Park Comprehensive Plan
1 have been working with Kathy O'Connell from MFRA on writing the Parks and Trail portion
of the City Comprehensive Plan. I will be meeting with adjoining cities to incorporate in the
necessary trail connections. I will also be meeting with Bethel College in hopes of including the
trail around Valentine Lake into our plan. My hope is that they will upgrade that trail.
Communitv Gardens
I will again be coordinating the volunteer planting and weeding of the area flower gardens. I am
also looking into the possibility of planting some variety of perennials, native grasses and wild
flowers in some of the City Park areas. There are three residents who are interested in working .
with me on some additional plantings in our natural areas.

CITY OF ARDEN HILLS
. MEMORANDUM
DATE: February 18, 1998
TO: Brian Fritsinger, City Administrator
FROM: Dwayne Stafford, Public Works Director .Oc;
SUBJECT: Monthlv Department Head Report
Puhlic Safety Commission
The City of Arden Hills Public Safety Commission will be meeting on February 19, 1998.
Commission Chairmen, John Tholen has provided the Commission with a copy of New Brighton
Emergency Preparedness Plan. He has also arranged for Mr. Bill Hughes from the Ramsey
County Department of Emergency Services to attend our meeting. The Public Works Director
has asked the Commission to use this and any other information available to come up with an
emergency plan for Arden Hills.
The Public Works Director has also contacted ACE Solid Waste and BFI Employees, who gave
the Director some ideas on standardizing garbage pickup dates. The Director will provide this
information to the Commission and ask that they start the ground work to accomplish this task.
. Gateway
The Gateway sewer and water project has been idle this month. Public Works has received
several complaints on the condition of 13th Street, where the new sewer line excavation crossed,
and Lametti has been dealing with this issue.
Rehbein Excavating has been hauling clean sand in and stock piling for Phase II, III, and IV
construction.
Puhlic Works
The new plow truck ordered in August, 1997, has been delivered and brought to Kimball, MN
for installation of the dump box, plows, and sander. Completion is expected by April 15, 1998.
This will give the City three plows with wing blades. Public Works will place their 1984 Ford in
the State Surplus Auction next fall.
Lack of snow this year has enabled Public Works to do other tasks. Currently, they are
rebuilding some of the problem hydrants.
Water meter installation has slowed down, as the remaining meters are those which are hard to
schedule. Some instances, it is hard to get someone to accept responsibility to allow water to be
shut off. Some meters affect several businesses etc. About 160 meters have now been installed.
.
--------
Stop signs were installed at Dunlap Avenue and Tiller Lane as approved by Council. These
signs are a new type made of all plastic. They cost slightly less and graffiti supposedly comes
off easy, so Public Works wanted to try them. .
The Public Works Director continues to work with Bethel on the Hamline odor problem, and has
provided Bethel and their engineers with several possible solutions to the problem.
Loans and Grant monies have been applied for on sewer inspection and repair.
The City has received quotes for televising of sewer lines this year as part of the Public Works
Program to televise all City sewer mains. Those quotes will be presented to Council for approval
to award a contract. This year Public Works is trying to complete televising around Lake
Johanna as the low wet areas are most likely to have infiltration problems.
The City Engineer and Public Works Director have met with New Brighton Public Works and
received their input on Stowe Avenue plans. Also, maintenance was again discussed and the
New Brighton Public Works Director, Mr. Proper seems very fair and easy to work with.
Two Public Works Employees and the Director received Trenching Safety and Confined Space
Training in February. This is an OSHA requirement.
