PUBLIC COMMENTS
Mayor Probst invited those present to come forward and address the Council on any items not
already on the agenda. There were no public comments.
UNFINISHED AND NEW BUSINESS
A. Resolution #98-27, Establishing the 1998 Street Improvement Assessment Rates
Mr. Dwayne Stafford, Public Works Superintendent, explained that the Council is asked to
adopt Resolution #98-27, which establishes the 1998 street improvement assessment rates of
$48.85 per assessable front foot for complete street reconstruction and $5.20 per assessable
foot for bituminous overlay _ He noted this is slightly less than indicated in the feasibility
report as a result of changes in the scope of work recommended for 1998. He noted the
resolution includes these rates which are based on the revised feasibility report completed by
BRW, and are being proposed at the direction of the City Council as suggested in the
Assessment Policy.
At the request of Councilmember Aplikowski, Mr. Stafford reviewed the streets that will be .
included in the 1998 Street Improvement Project.
Mayor Probst asked if the proposed rates are based on the remaining streets which reflect the
City's policy to assess 50% of the cost. Mr. Stafford stated this is correct.
Mike Dwelly, 2048 Stowe Avenue, stated last year the rates were at $37 per foot and inquired
why it is so much higher this year. Mayor Probst explained the rates are being driven by the
anticipated costs for this work.
Mr. DweUy stated he lives on Stowe Avenue which has been there for 40+ years and the
asphalt has never been improved over the last 30 years. He noted that two years ago, Ramsey
County would have upgraded it at no cost to the residents but the City decided to swap this
road with the County. Now the City wants to upgrade it and assess the residents for part of the
cost. He objected to adding inflationary factors into the rate since it could have been done two
years ago at a cheaper rate.
Mayor Probst stated he is unable to "turn back the clock" to two years ago but, since one-half
is in the City of New Brighton it could not have been done then. Mr. Dwelly stated Ramsey
County was willing to do maintenance on the street two years ago at no cost to the homeowner
but then the City decided to swap the roads. He stated to be fair to the residents, it should be .
done at a cheaper rate than proposed.
[W ~ ,Iii ~V
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCil. - FEBRUARY 23 1998 Iiu U 3
e Mayor Probst explained the City does have the ability to set the assessment rate. He clarified
the proposal the County was talking about did not include any drainage improvements or
modifications to the street elevation. The City felt, in the long term interest of the City, it
would be better to do a reconstruction.
Mr. Dwelly stated the road has been there for thirty years with no work done on it but he has
seen other roads improved more frequently. He restated he believes this street should receive
a special rate since improvement to Stowe Avenue has always been pushed aside.
Mayor Probst explained the City had no jurisdiction to maintain this street until three years ago
since it was a County road and under theirjurisdiction. He stated it would be within the
Council's jurisdiction to approve a different assessment rate.
Mr. Dwelly stated he sees no justification for charging Stowe A venue residents this rate.
Councilmember Aplikowski stated it would be nice to not assess anything but that is not
possible. She explained that the City is already proposing to share 50% of the cost and noted
that the construction costs have increased each year. Councilmember Aplikowski stated she
wishes the City could set a standard rate but they need to go with the current rates and have
agreed to pay 50 % of those costs.
. Mr. Dwelly stated he understands a larger assessment can be spread over ten years at seven
percent. He stated he believes this percentage is too high and requested consideration of a
lower percentage rate.
Mayor Probst noted an assessment hearing will be held at which time residents will have the
opportunity to again discuss the project.
Councilmember Malone stated he agrees this is a big increase in cost this year and asked why
these rates are so high. Mr. Greg Brown, Consulting Engineer, stated he is comfortable that
the construction costs will be within this range and the City's policy is accurate.
Councilmember Malone explained how the rates are calculated.
Mr. Dwelly asked if the rate will be reduced if the costs come in lower. Mayor Probst advised
that at the assessment hearing, the Council has the ability to lower the rate but cannot raise the
rate.
Councilmember Aplikowski noted this occurred (lowering the rate) at an assessment hearing
last year. She stated she was also surprised at the size of the cost increase and would like to
see a lower rate. Councilmember Aplikowski noted the Council will have a better "handle" on
costs once the bids are received.
Mr. Dwelly suggested the rate not be set until the bids are received.
. Mayor Probst explained the timing of the notice to residents and scheduling the assessment
hearing. He advised that a rate needs to be included on the notice to residents. Mayor Probst
~ ~~ ~1
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - FEBRUARY 23. 1998 4
noted the cost for reconstruct roads has increased more than the overlay rate. He explained .
that it is believed the rate under discussion tonight will be close to the target of the actual cost.
MOTION: Councilmember Malone moved and Councilmember Aplikowski seconded a
motion to adopt Resolution #98-27, Establishing the 1998 Street Improvement
Assessment Rates. The motion carried unanimously (3-0).
B. Resolution #98-28, Ordering an Assessment Hearing in the Matter of the 1998
Street Improvements
It was noted that the Council is asked to adopt Resolution #98-28 which orders an assessment
hearing for the 1998 Street Improvement Project and schedules the public hearing for March
30, 1998.
In response to Councilmember Aplikowski, Mr. Brian Fritsinger, City Administrator, advised
that this will allow adequate timing for notification and publication.
MOTION: Councilmember Malone moved and Councilmember Aplikowski seconded a
motion to adopt Resolution #98-28, Ordering an Assessment Hearing in the
Malter of the 1998 Street Improvements.
Council member Aplikowski asked if the Council can address the interest rate. Mr. Fritsinger
suggested the City Accountant be asked to provide additional information on that issue. .
Councilmember Malone explained the interest is set to reflect the City's return on its
investments.
The motion carried unanimously (3-0).
C. Planning Cases
1. Case #98-04, Tony Schmidt Park, SUP, 3500 Lake Johanna Boulevard
(Concept Approval)
Mr. Ringwald explained the applicant is requesting concept approval of a Special Use Permit
(SUP) for planned upgrades to Tony Schmidt Park. He explained the Planning Commission
discussed this application at their meeting earlier this month and recommends the City look at the
option of signing Lake Johanna Boulevard as "No Parking" to minimize the potential conflict of
overflow boat parking into the residential area. He explained another area of concern had to do
with the trail along the north side of Lake Johanna Boulevard and conflicting relationship
between cars, joggers, and bikers. The Planning Commission believes this should be a paved
trail down to the point of the NSP connection. The Planning Commission feels this will remove
the conflict of pedestrian and vehicular traffic. Mr. Ringwald stated the Planning Commission
recommends approval subject to the following conditions:
I. Submittal for site plan approval prior to the commencement of construction of any part of .
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 Shore land 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
Siems Court all the way to the west to terminate on County Road E at the main trail (NSP
Easement).
Greg Mack, Director of Ramsey County Parks & Recreation, stated they will work to the
best of their ability to address the Planning Commission's concerns with the trail and explore
parking alternatives. He stated they have considered one option to construct turf-type parking
just north of the entry road, in the area of fill. Mr. Mack stated they understand the neighbor's
concerns about this issue and they will work to establish an area for overflow boat parking. Mr.
Mack stated they have had a good relationship with the Task Force and appreciate their work.
Councilmember Malone stated it would be nice to keep in mind a potential of an under pass for
Lake Johanna Boulevard, should flmding become available.
Mr. Mack stated before having the grade separation, they will provide islands to provide a safe
haven for pedestrians crossing Lake Johanna Boulevard. They believe this will be a "traffic
. calming" option.
Councilmember Malone suggested a memorandum to remind of this need in the future. He noted
that this is also the main route for fire department response so the lanes will need to be of full
typical width.
Mayor Probst asked if the islands will be similar to the Island Lake Park area. Mr. Mack
explained the first island to be constructed will be at the pedestrian crossing.
Mayor Probst stated this project is long overdue and he is delighted about the level of
cooperation the City has experienced.
Mrs. Jerry Laumeyer, 3540 New Brighton Road, explained they live by the park area on Hudson
A venue. She reviewed their efforts to maintain their property and stated her concern about
constructing paved trails through this natural park area. She distributed a letter submitted by her
husband who was unable to attend the meeting tonight and requested that the letter he sent to the
City Council be read into the record as follows:
"As a resident of Arden Hills, living at 3540 New Brighton Road, I'd like to voice my
opposition to the so called 'improvements' to the natural woods and wetlands north and
west of the Tony Schmidt Park. The proposed changes were discussed at the Arden Hills
City Planning Commission meeting held in early February.
. During the late 1940's and through the 1950's, as I and my peers came of age, most of us
from New Brighton worked on Joe Hipp's truck farm tending and harvesting squash,
- -~ ff\ ~ ~

rhubarb and strawberries. That farm and woodland is now the mowed grass and paved .
trails and gazebo covered picnic tables of New Brighton Regional Park. A large percent
of the time it is unused, except for the occasional biker, jogger or rollerblader. The
woods and farm fields that benefited and prepared most kids in town for the responsible
working life are gone forever! We must ask ourselves, 'how much man made park do we
need?'
We in Arden Hills now have a unique opportunity to protect one of the last remaining
natural woodland and wetland areas in the region. Do we need to excavate and
'modernize' every piece of natural ground left? To appreciate nature and wilderness, we
must pave trails and transform woods into lawns? Why instead don't we leave the vast
majority of the park natural to provide cover for the deer, fox, rabbits and birds, and let
the walking paths evolve as people move naturally through the terrain~ After all,
excavated trails and paved walkways are found elsewhere - how many naturaIly occurring
woods and wetlands are left?
The so called 'improved' park areas not only negatively impact wildlife, they are also
costly to build and maintain. Additional maintenance workers and equipment will be
required to police paved walkways, including the proposed twelve foot wide paved main
trail from the beach at Lake Johanna to New Brighton Regional Park. Is there a real need
or desire on the part of the taxpayers to pay for this?
I support the changes proposed for the Tony Schmidt Park Beach and boat launch areas .
for practical and safety reasons. However, 1 urge you not to let the last and largest open
tract of land in Ramsey County to become 'just another man made park.'
If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to call.
Sincerely, Jerry Laumeyer, 3540 New Brighton Road"
Councilmember Malone stated the letter addresses several issues but the main concern seems to
be paved trails. Ms. Laumeyer stated this is correct. She reported they have seen wildlife and
would like some of the trail areas left natural to encourage wildlife habitat.
Bill Sanders, Sanders, Wacker, Bergly, Inc., presented a drawing identifYing the trail
alignments for paved and unpaved trails. He noted the trails being addressed by Mrs. Laumeyer
are proposed in the Master Plan to remain unpaved.
MOTION: Councilmember Malone moved and Councilmember Aplikowski seconded a
motion to approve Planning Case #98-04, concept approval of Tony Schmidt
Park, SUP, 3500 Lake Johanna Boulevard, subject to the conditions indicated
above. The motion carried unanimously (3-0).
Mayor Probst noted the Council approved a motion earlier tonight to encourage Ramsey
County to move this project along as soon as possible. He requested that the City be notified
of meetings that the Council should attend to promote the project. Mr. Mack requested this .
information so he can provide copies to the County Board Members and Capital Improvement
Advisory Board.
(DJ~~?Y
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCil. - FEBRUARY 23 1998 7
. Mr. Mack reviewed the improvements which will be included in the first and subsequent
phases. He stated they are on track with what the Planning Commission recommended and this
is a priority project for the County.
2. Case #98-02, Sawhorse, Inc., Variance, 3465 Siems Court
Mr. Ringwald used an overhead map to identify the site under consideration. He explained the
applicant is requesting approval of a side yard setback variance for a garage addition (seven feet
is proposed when ten feet is required) and for a house addition (seven feet is proposed when ten
feet is required) on a single family lot zoned R-l. He noted the Planning Commission, on June 3,
1992, did recommend approval of Planning Case #92-10 for a side yard setback variance on a
garage addition on the subject property and the Council, on June 8, 1992, approved the variance
request. However, the homeowner did not construct the garage and sold the property. The new
property owner is now requesting reapproval of the garage variance in addition to a living space
expansion variance.
Mr. Ringwald displayed the proposed tirst floor house plan which creates a second garage stall
and living area behind the two-car garage. He noted the proposed second stall garage is just large
enough to accommodate a car and not over-sized, which is similar to the variance previously
approved. Mr. Ringwald explained the City has not traditionally allowcd living space to infringe
into side yards, especially if there are alternate locations that could be used. He pointed out an
alternate area on this site which could be used to expand the living space. Mr. Ringwald reported
. that the Planning Commission felt the living space variance should not be approved since a
hardship is not shown and there is an alternate area which could be used.
Mr. Ringwald reviewed the discussion held at the Planning Commission regarding the concern
for erosion between the garage and the side lot line. He noted the design of the roof which is
now designed towards the common property line in an effort to reduce erosion. Mr. Ringwald
stated this is also acceptable with the adjoining property owncr. He then displayed and reviewed
the rear elevation of the house and garage.
Mr. Ringwald displayed the revised front elevation of the house with the garage addition but
without the living space addition. He then displayed the revised rear elevation and noted the
reduced impact. Mr. Ringwald advised that the Planning Commission is recommending
approval of the garage addition variance and requiring erosion control and turf establishment.
However, they recommend denial of the living space variance. He recommended, if the Council
considers approval, that the new revised elevations be considered rather than the elevations
presented at the Planning Commission meeting and referenced in their motion.
Mayor Probst noted this living space addition could be constructed if it was offset by three feet
from the side property line. Mr. Ringwald stated this is correct and was discussed at the Planning
Commission meeting but the applicant was concerned about the loss of space caused by the three
foot offset.
. Councilmember Aplikowski stated she viewed the property earlier today and believes a hardship
may be present due to the small size of the lot. She stated whether or not the house addition is
included it would not impact the neighboring house. Council member Aplikowski stated she
-
@ ~ ~ ~1I
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - FEBRUARY 23.1998 iDj I. 8
in Inl I' J1
understands the desire not to construct the addition ofT the back due to the windows and the .
creation of a "tunnel" effect. She stated that by granting the living space addition it will not
really impact the neighbors any more than the garage would.
Councilmember Malone stated this was also his impression but he realizes the City's objective is
to minimize and, if at all possible, avoid all variances. He pointed out there is no other location
to place the garage so that variance request can be legitimized. However, with the house
expansion, the request cannot be legitimized since it can be located elsewhere on the property.
Councilmember Malone stated he believes the Planning Commission's recommendation is
rationale and accurate.
Fred Bruning, Sawhorse Inc., Designer, explained the applicant was unable to attend the
meeting tonight so he is attending on their behalf. He referred to his February 19, 1998 letter
which indicates it is their opinion the alternative locations suggested by the City, as well as
other solutions explored during the design process, would create situations which should be
addressed as follows:
1. The alternative plan creates a narrow tunneling effect that would not be desirable to
either neighbor on the north or the clients.
2. It would adversely effect the homeowners and the neighbor's lake view.
3. It creates an informal space in a formal part of the house.
4. It positions living space ten feet or closer to their neighbor on the south (as opposed to
more than 35 feet if located to the north), also because of neighbor's setbacks allows .
for a ten foot or less separation between structures as opposed to 13' 5".
5. It sacrifices a large part of a much valued deck, therefore taking away outside space.
6. Not to affect 2nd floor views - it would need to be a flat roof design which would
adversely affect the character of the home as well as the neighborhood.
7. Lastly, this option would cost approximately three times as much.
Mr. Bruning presented the living space proposal to the Council and explained the benefits of
this location.
Councilmember Aplikowski noted this is a very small lot with a very small house. She stated
she supports this request as long as neither neighbor objects. Mr. Bruning stated that the
neighbors do not object.
Mr. Bruning explained they want to maintain the lake view and the applicant does not feel
there is an acceptable alternate. Mr. Bruning then presented the building elevation with both
the garage and living space additions and explained how the drainage will be addressed. He
noted the elevations shown with the building and garage additions are more aesthetically
pleasing as well.
Councilmember Malone stated while he appreciates the arguments regarding aesthetics, the
Council is charged with executing the Ordinances and, in order to consider a variance, a .
hardship needs to be present. He commented on the difficulty in establishing a precedent due
to future requests. Councilmember Malone stated he supports the argument about the hardship

ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - FEBRUARY 23 1998 9
. for the garage since there is no alternate location. However, this is not the case with the living
space since there is an alternate location.
Mr. Bruning stated the garage could be located on the other side of the house, but it would not
be an atypical design. He suggested that the option being requested creates a more desirable
option for the applicant and the neighbors.
Councilmember Malone restated the need to find a hardship before a variance can be
considered.
Mr. Bruning asserted a hardship exists since this is a narrow lot. Also, this house existed
before the neighboring homes which were constructed in such a way as to infringe on the
applicant's property.
Mayor Probst stated he understands that Councilmember Malone is correct in the need to
identify a hardship to consider a variance. Mayor Probst stated there clearly is precedent set
regarding a two-stall garage. However, in terms of the addition to the house, technically there
is no hardship since it could be located in another area. However, in terms of the logic of how
the house will be used and square footage, the applicant's request is the most logical proposal.
He noted that an addition on the other corner does not result in a better proposal. Mayor
Probst agreed this is not an easy decision. He stated he would support the house addition
. hardship based on the existing layout, encroachment of abutting garage, and limited lot size.
Councilmember Malone stated the Council is not in the design business and the hard facts do
not support a hardship for any more than a garage variance. He stated he could not support a
variance for the living quarters.
Mr. Ringwald noted that, based on this precedent, the adjoining property to the north could
add living space behind their garage and, based on this rationale, staff would recommend
approval.
Councilmember Malone requested that any motion made clearly identify the hardship.
Mayor Probst inquired regarding applicable portions of certain exhibits. Mr. Ringwald
explained the Planning Commission identified exhibits in their motion to "lock in" the building
elevations. He noted the new building elevations which the applicant's consultant submitted
would be more appropriate to reference if only the garage variance is considered for approval.
MOTION: Mayor Probst moved and Councilmember Aplikowski seconded a motion to
approve Planning Case #98-02, Side Yard Setback Variance for the garage and
house addition at 3465 Siems Court, Sawhorse, Inc. (Joel & Jane Kennedy), as
identified in Exhibit A, page 7 of 9 and page 9 of 9, based on Staff
recommendations for three conditions and, in addition, requiring erosion control
. and turf establishment based on the finding of a hardship as it relates to the garage
to provide the ability to have a two-car garage on a substandard sized lot with a
topography that does not allow it to be accomplished to the rear lot, and approval
of the house addition variance based upon the fact of the undersized lot, lot width,
----- ---------

ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - FEBRUARY 23. 1998 UlJ iiu 10
and home location in a situation where the adjacent home to south encroaches .
onto the lot so allowing the addition in this location creates a better "bad"
condition than an addition to the south side would and it affords the correction of
drainage problems between the two houses and based on the rationale that this is
the most logical way to add onto the house from the standpoint of the continued
use of the house as it is. The variance will expire if the structure is eliminated.
Mayor Probst noted it is more typical around the lake to see tear down projects to deal with this
problem. He stated he thinks going after this in another way would require that kind of
maneuver.
Councilmember Malonc asked how the Council will deal with the next request for a side yard
setback if this precedent is established.
Mayor Probst commented that he believes the "basic driver" is that this is the most logical place
to add onto the garage. He stated if that were not the case, he wouldn't advocate extending onto
the house along that same line.
Councilmember Malone asked if this setback is with this house forever. Mr. Ringwald explained
if the structure goes away, the variance could be removed.
Mayor Probst and Councilmember Aplikowski agreed to this friendly amendment to add this
restriction. .
Councilmember Aplikowski stated by allowing this building to continue beyond the garage will
also assist the drainage issues. She stated these issues need to be dealt with on a case-by-case
basis and, in this case, this proposal makes the most sense.
The motion carried 2-1 (Malone).
D. Resolution #98-29, Supporting an Application to the Department of Natural
Resources Cooperative Trail Grant Program
Ms. Cindy Walsh, Parks and Recreation Director, explained the Council is asked to adopt
Resolution #98-29 which indicates their support to make application to the Department of
Natural Resources (DNR) Trail Grant Program. She reported the City had previously applied
for funds from the DNR, but had not received funding in 1997. This trail is a high priority for
the Parks and Recreation Commission and ranked high on the DNR list. Ms. Walsh explained
she has been encouraged by the DNR to apply for the Cooperative Trails Grant again in 1998.
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.
Ms. Walsh stated she is not sure there are any other segments that would apply to this grant
other than County Road F.
Councilmember Malone asked if there are any "strings" attached to this grant, such as plowing .
the trails. He noted a property owner does not want any part of the trail. Ms. Walsh reported
--------

u IJU U
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - FEBRUARY 23.1998 II
. she met with representatives of Cardiac Pacemakers, Inc., and, in this segment, she proposes
the trail go in back of the curb, as done in Shoreview, to minimize the impact.
Councilmember Malone noted there are no logical destination points. Ms. Walsh stated the
connection to the east would provide access to adjoining communities, Sucker Creek, and the
St. Paul Water Utility property.
MOTION: Counci1member Aplikowski moved and Councilmember Malone seconded a
motion to adopt Resolution #98-29, Supporting an Application to the
Department of Natural Resources Cooperative Trail Grant Program. The
motion carried unanimously (3-0).
E. Resolution #98-30, Authorizing Changes to the Employee Benefit Program
Mr. Fritsinger explained the Council is asked to adopt Resolution #98-30 which would
authorize changes to the Employee Benefit Program to make changes to the short-term
disability, long-term disability, and life insurance benefits currently provided. He reported on
staff's research and their determination that the package provided by Fortus Benefits provides
competitive rates for the coverage offered and the best benefit package.
Mayor Probst stated he believes this change is long overdue and he supports the change.
. Councilmember Aplikowski stated as a small business person, this makes her nervous, but in a
City business, this has become a necessary thing to maintain quality staff and continuity.
Therefore, she supports it for the City staff.
MOTION: Councilmember Malone moved and Councilmember Aplikowski seconded a
motion to adopt Resolution #98-30, Authorizing Changes to the Employee
Benefit Program. The motion carried unanimously (3-0).
E. Resolution #98-26, Approving an Application to Conduct One-Day Off-Site
Gambling
Mr. Terrance Post, City Accountant, stated this is not a typical request in being a one-day off-
site gambling application. He explained that each licensed organization is allowed one such
request per year by the State. Mr. Post explained this organization has historically met in
another Shoreview location but, due to scheduling conflicts, they are looking at holding this
fundraising event in Arden Hills. He stated since the City does not permit this organization
from a premises standpoint, the City does not have the leverage to require they abide by the
ordinance trade area spending requirement. However, this is an infrequent type of request so
staff recommends approval of Resolution #98-26 which would approve an application to
conduct one-day off-site gambling for the Circle Pines/Lexington Lions Club on April 25,
1998 at the Arden Hills Holiday Inn.

Councilmember Malone noted this organization is otherwise licensed and there are not a lot of .
these requests so he supports approval.
MOTION: Councilmember Malone moved and Councilmember Aplikowski seconded a
motion to adopt Resolution #98-26. Approving an Application to Conduct One-
Day Off-Site Gambling. The motion carried unanimously (3-0).
Jan Kreminski, President of the Circle Pines/Lexington Lions Club, thanked the Council
for this consideration.
ADMINISTRATOR COMMENTS
Mr. Fritsinger stated he had nothing new to report.
COUNCIL COMMENTS
Councilmember Malone reviewed the bills before the Legislature for an elected Metropolitan
Council. He stated he tends to favor this type of bill and inquired regarding the position of the
rest of the Council.
Councilmember Aplikowski stated she has been part of this process since it was first created
and, while it was a great idea when it first started. accountability is an important, missing,
aspect. She stated she agrees with Councilmember Malone. .
Mayor Probst stated that, while he used to support the Governor appointment process, he now
concurs with the need for an elected body.
Councilmember Aplikowski reported the League of Cities is looking for help from cities to
speak to candidates and encourage their participation at the annual meeting. She reported that
Mr. Fritsinger's name has been offered as a contact person to provide input on collaborative
efforts.
Councilmember Aplikowski reported she received 15 to 20 responses about suggestions on
name changes for County Road F.
Mayor Probst noted staff will pursue with Shoreview the process they used for changing the
name of a roadway.
Councilmember Aplikowski stated residents just want to know when it will happen and if they
will have an opportunity to speak.
Mayor Probst noted staff's attempt at transcribing his comments at the Town Hall meeting.

CITY OF ARDEN HILLS
. MEMORANDUM
DATE: March 9, 1998
TO: Mayor and Citv Council
" .
FROM: Kevin Ringwald, Community Development Director ~
SUBJECT: Agreement for Electrical Inspection Services - 1998
Request
The City Council is requested to authorize the Mayor and City Administrator to execute the
electrical inspections service agreement (1998) with North Metro Inspections, Inc. (Exhibit A).
Background
Attached to this memorandum the City Council will find the electrical inspections service
agreement with North Metro Inspections, Inc., for the calendar year of 1998, which has been
executed by North Metro Inspections, Inc.
The City of Arden Hills previously has been using Metropolitan Inspections to conduct its
. electrical inspections. The owner of Metropolitan Inspections, Gunnar Pettersen, has retired and
disbanded the company, effective December 31, 1997. Richard Nelson has been conducting the
electrical inspections for Metropolitan Inspections for the past ten years. Mr. Nelson has formed
North Metro Inspections, Inc., to continue to provide electrical inspection services. The City of
Arden Hills (as well as Shoreview, Roseville, Little Canada, North Saint Paul, and North Oaks)
are proposing to continue to use Mr. Nelson's services for their electrical inspection needs for
1998. North Metro Inspections, Inc., will be using the same offices and office personnel, except
for Gunnar Pettersen, that was used by Metropolitan Inspections.
The proposed electrical inspection service agreement provides for some additional requirements
that Metropolitan Inspections did not provide. Those additional requirements are:
I. Notice to the City of the completion of electrical inspections. The building inspector
cannot conduct framing inspections unless the electrical inspections are complete and
accepted (Section 3.0, A, 2).
2. Provision of an annual report, including projections on succeeding years revenues and
expenditures (Section 3.0, A, 3).
3. Notice of expansion of client base (Section 3.0, A, 5).
4. Increase in insurance requirements (Section 3.0, D, 2).
The insurance held by North Metro Inspections, Inc., is attached as Exhibit B.
.
,
Budget Impact
The City's compensation to North Metro Inspections, Inc., is based upon 80 percent of the value .
of the electrical permit, which is consistent with the method of payment that was used with
Metropolitan Inspections. Therefore, the proposed agreement would provide for no increase in
cost for electrical inspection services for the City in 1998.
Recommendation
Authorize the Mayor and the City Administrator to execute the attached electrical inspection
service agreement with North Metro Inspections, Inc., for the calendar year of 1998.

. MEMORANDUM
DATE: March 4, 1998
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: '~r-! I
Cindy S. Walsh, Parks and Recreation Director _ --' /:J
SUBJECT: Purchasing Playground Structures at Freeway and Cummings Parks
Back~round
New Playground structure equipment was planned for both Freeway and Cummings Parks in
1998. Cummings Park was planned as a replacement for this year. The Freeway Park structure
was moved up to 1998 because of a donation from the Romanian Orthodox Church charitable
gambling organization.
Selection of Eq uipmen t
There were four companies that developed proposals for each park area. The Parks and
Recreation Commission and I met with the residents from each park to get feed back on which
proposal they like best. I also met with the parks and recreation staff to have them review the
. proposals.
The proposals from Miracle Recreation Equipment Company were chosen for both of the park
sites. The City does have an existing structure from Miracle at Valentine Park. We have been
pleased with their equipment.
Cost of Equipment and Budget Implications
There is $35,000 budgeted in the General Fund Park Maintenance Budget from the equipment at
Cummings Park. The budgeted money includes the cost of equipment, timbers around the
strueture, wood fiber, sand and other surface material, and ADA access pathway. Depending on
the cost and quantity of cement and mixer rental, I am anticipating the cost to be $34,500.
Freeway Park has $16,000 budgeted for a smaller structure. This money was budgeted in the
Park Fund since it was donated by the Romanian Orthodox Church. I anticipate spending all of
that money.
Recommendation
Staff recommends purchasing playground equipment and assessories at Freeway for $16,000 and
Cummings Parks for of$35,000. With Council approval, I plan to order the equipment the week
of March 9 since there is a 4-6 week delivery time. The timbers, surface material, cement, etc...
will be ordered at the time of installation.

February 25,1998
County Road F Residents:
The Arden Hills City Council will be discussing, and taking action, on a name change
for that segment of County Road F, between I-35W and Old Highway la, at its Monday,
March 9, 1998, Council meeting.
This meeting will be held at 7:30 p.m. at the New Brighton Council Chambers.
The City of Arden Hills assumed jurisdiction over this roadway in 1995, hence it is no
longer a County road.
Several surveys relating to the name change have been conducted over the past few years
resulting in many suggestions.
At this time, the Council seems to favor Farrell Road. The Farrell family was one of the .
first to settle in the area and their original home still stands at the Northeast corner of
County Road E2 and Interstate 35W, just west of the library.
Residents wishing to attend this meeting are invited to attend, and those attending may
address the Council on the change at this time.
If you have any qllestions concerning this or any Public Works issues, please contact me
at 633-5676.

Thank you for your efforts to inform the residents as to "what's happening" concerning council
action on renaming County Road F. The "city" should take these steps and pay for the time and
expense (not place the burden on you personally). It is important to take some time to consider
what should be done and to consider the people most affected.
It was fun to see the progress to date as shown by your enclosure. It provided some amusing
conversation around here. We also will submit our ideas (list enclosed).
~ I believe the people living on "F", having the greatest impact, should have the final say. ]fthe
powers that be at the city cannot agree with them, then the name should not change I
If the road is renamed, it needs to retain the current street sign (via dual marking) for some
reasonable amount of time, to accommodate people using old maps, etc.
I don't see the need to make a change. Is it worth the expense and aggravation to the residents
and public? Is it just to note change of ownership - to imply that it is not maintained by the
county - and that assessments by the city will be forthcoming?
Sincerely,
/ .iA't/<">V'-r"'l~

Dear Neighbors,
The Arden Hills City Council is ready to consider renaming County Road F. Due to the news from the
telephone company about the telephone prefix numbers in Arden Hills changing, the Council thought it
would be the time to consider a name change because everyone will be changing their stationery to some
degree.
In 1996, The City sent out a survey and there were several names suggested as possible names. The list
is enclosed. After the survey, I received some notes from a few County Rd F residents suggesting that
"Valentine" was overused and any mention of "school" or "mustang" or "bus" was to be avoided.
Personally I have always favored "Farrell Pond Road" or West Farrell Road.
e I would like to hear from those of you who want to have some input.
Which of the names would you prefer or do you have a dilferenl one to share?
We might be talking about this attheWork Session Meeting Tuesday, February 17, (which is when you
probably receive this lelter because I forgot about the holiday) - but call me or fax me with your thoughts.
The decision will not be made until later.
Home" 633-3863 (Please leave message if no answer)
Work - 633.1264 (Please leave message ill am not available)
FAX - 633-3087
Please share this request with your neighbors in the other neighborhoods. My resident list is not up to
date at this time but I feel that all of the Shorewood Hills area should have a chance to input ideas. Those
of you on E-mail please log iI on. Thanks
Sincerely,

DATE: June 6, 1996
TO: Bd" Fd"i'g", Ci", Admi,i,trnt" ~
FROM: Dwayne Stafford, Public "Vorks Superintendent '.
SUBJECT: Renaming of County Road F
Background
At the regularly scheduled Council meeting on May 13, 1996, Mayor Probst indicated his desire
to move forward with the re-naming of County Road F. The Council indicated it would like to
make a recommendation \vhich could be implemented in the future thus, giving property owners
a chance to prepare for the name change. This issue had been previously discussed numerous
times at the Public WorkslPublic Safety Committee meetings with no action being taken.
A survey sent to City residents with their water billings earlier this year requested suggestions for
the renaming. Approximately 50 suggestions were received. Of those names suggested, a high
percentage relate to either the school (14), the City (8), or Lake Valentine (6).
,~ The name suggested most often was Mustang Road four (4), Mustang Drive and Mustang Trail
were also suggested, hov.;ever Nev.! Brighton has a Mustang Drive.
Valentine Lake Drive and Valentine Lake Road each had three (3) requests, while several other
suggestions using Valentine were made. Several names using Arden were also suggested.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that based on the results of the survey that Council consider the following
names for the current West County Road F:
Mustang Road
Mustang Trail ~~
Valentine Lake Drive
Valentine Lake Road
Arden Hills Road
See attached survey.

TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Cindv S. Walsh, Parks and Recreation Director ;' 'J

SUBJECT: Awarding the Price Quote for the Trail Culvert
Backl;:round
The existing trail bridge is hand made out of wood and is unsafe and inadequate. City Engineer,
Greg Brown, prepared a plan to replace the bridge with two 12" drain pipes. A bituminous path
would then be placed over the drain pipes. This will provide a much better surface for
pedestrians and maintenance vehicles.
Proiect Cost
We received project cost price quotes from six contractors. The lowest three are as follows:
Contractor Price
. Sunram Construction, Inc. $11,812.80 (including damaged trail repair)
Lametti and Sons, Inc. $12,675 (excluding trail damage repair)
Glenn Rehbein Excavating Inc. $13, I 00 (excluding trail damage repair)
Sunram Construction, Inc. has the lowest price; however, we have recently been notified that
they have been suspended and disqualified from entering into or receiving a MnDot contract or
serving as a subcontractor. Under Minnesota Statutes Section 161.315, this suspension also
applies to city contracts for goods and services.
Engineering fees are expected to be in the ranges of$I,OOO. Thus, the total project cost
including engineering is $13,675 if Lamelti and Sons Inc., the lowest qualified quoter, is
awarded the project.
Budget Implications
During the 1998 budget process, MSA Engineering had estimated the cost of the project to be
$10,000. I would recommend that the remaining $3,675 come from the $3,750 that was
budgeted for seal coating for 1998.
Using this money for a purpose other than seal cQating gives the City time to evaluate the
effectiveness of the slurry coat that was applied to last year's trail segment. Since the slurry was
done in the fall, we have not been through a summer season. I have had very little feedback from
. trail users about the surface smoothness of the slurry coat. I am not convinced that the City
should proceed with using this method to seal coat the remainder ofthe trails.
. ~ ..
Rice Creek Watershed District A\l\lroval
The inspector from Rice Creek Watershed has provided input and given his approval to the .
project. The project will be disturbing less than 2000 square feet of wetland, so mitigation is not
necessary. We will proceed with applying for a permit if the project is approved.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of Resolution #98-32 accepting the price quote and authorizing the
execution of contract in the matter of the constmction of the City trail culvert.

Phoenix bid as required by the Project Manual. Midwest Asphalt submitted a bid with a 5%
PortJ,lnd guarantee. A bid tabulation was performed to verify the total bid amounts. Four bids

RE: Interim Ordinance
Adult Establishments
Our File No.: 10450/920001
Dear Kevin:
Enclosed is an Interim Ordinance which would prohibit the
siting of "Adult Establishments" within the City during the period
of the moratorium. The proposed Interim Ordinance is modeled upon
. a similar regulation which was adopted by the City of Crystal,
Minnesota. The constitutionality of the Crystal Interim Ordinance
was upheld by the Minnesota Appellate Court on September 30, 1997.
In a recent case entitled Duncanson v. Board of Supervisors of
Danville Township, 551 N.W.2d 248 (Minn. App. 1996), the Minnesota
Appellate Court determined that different procedures apply to the
adoption of an Interim Ordinance than to the adoption of other
zoning ordinances. It is not necessary for the City to adopt the
ordinance after a public hearing preceded by published notice. It
is not necessary for the City to have the Planning Commission
review the regulation before the City Council adopts the
moratorium.

An Interim Ordinance may prohibit development for one year
from the effective date of the regulation and may, in appropriate
circumst.ances, be extended for an additional eighteen months. It
is best to adopt the Interim Ordinance before the City receives a
development application or a request for a building permit. Three
affirmative votes of the City Council are required to adopt the
ordinance.
Just in case the City does not wish to publish the entire
Interim Ordinance, I am also enclosing an Ordinance Summary. Four
affirmative votes of the Council are necessary co adopt an
Ordinance Summary. If you have any questions, please contact me.
Very truly yours,

ORDINANCE NO. 305
. AN INTERIM ORDINANCE PLACING A MORATORIUM ON THE SITING
OF ADULT ESTABLISHMENTS WITHIN ANY ZONING DISTRICT OF THE
CITY OF ARDEN HILLS; AND DIRECTING A STUDY TO BE
CONDUCTED.
THE ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL ORDAINS:
Section 1.
Reci~als.
1. 01 The State Attorney General has prepared a report
entitled "report of the Attorney General's Working Group on
Regulation of Sexually Oriented Businesses", dated June 6, 1989,
pr.epared by Hubert H. Humphrey, III, Attorney General of the State
of Minnesota/Olmsted County Planning Department "Adult
Entertainment Report" dated March 2, 1988, and "A 40-Acre Study"
prepared by the St. Paul Division of Planning in 1987, all of which
reports are hereafter collectively referred to as "Reports". The
ReportB considered evidence from studies conducted in Minneapolis
and St. Paul and in other cities throughout the country relating to
sexually oriented businesses.
1. 02 The State Attorney General's Report, based upon Lhe
above referenced studies and the testimony presented to it has
concluded "that sexually oriented businesses are associated with
high crime rates and depression of property values." In addition,
. the State Attorney General's Working Group " heard testimony
that the character of a neighborhood can dramatically change when
there is a concentration of sexually oriented businesses adjacent
to residential property." The Reports conclude that:
a. adult uses have an impact on the neighborhoods
surrounding them which is distinct from the impact caused
by other commercial uses;
b. residential neighborhoods located within close proximity
to adult theaters, bookstores and other adult uses
experience increase crime rateo (sex-related crimes ~n
particular) , lowered property values, increased
transiency, and decreased stability of ownership;
c. the adverse impacts which adult uses have on surrounding
areas diminish as the distance from the adult uses
increasesi
d. studies of other cities have shown that among the crimes
which tend to increase either within Or in the near
vicinity of adult uses are rapes, prostitution, child
molestation, indecent exposure and other lewd and
lascivious behavior;

,
e. the City of Phoenix, Arizona study confirmed that the sex .
crime rate was on the average 500 percent higher in areae
with sexually oriented businesses;
f. many members of the public perceive Qreas within which
adult uses are located as less than other areas which do
not have such uses;
g. studies of other cities have shown that the values of
both commercial and residential properties either are
diminished or fail to appreciate at the rate of other
comparable properties when located in proxinity to adult
uses; and
h. the Indianapolis, Indiana study eotablished that
professional real estate appraisers believe that an adult:
bookstore would have a negative effect On ~he value of
both residential and commercial properties within a one
to three block area of the store.
1.03 The Arden Hills City Council finds the suburban
characteristics of Arden Hille are similar to those of the cities
cited by the Reports when considering the affects of adult uses.
1. 04 The Arden Hills City Council finds, based upon the
R~ports and th~ studies cited therein, that adult uses may have
secondary effects upon certain pre-existing land uses within the
City. .
1.05 The City's current zoning ordinance does not address
such adult uses which have b~en found by other municipalities to
cause similar adverse secondary effects.
1.06 The City Council lS concerned that the City's zoning
ordinance may be inadequate in its scope and in its restrictions to
accomplish the purpose for which it was intended.
1.07 In addition to the prop~r zoning classification ot such
uses, there are a number of significant planning and land use
issues pertaining to the regulation of such uses, including the
following:
a. The particular zoning districts in which such uses should
be allowed as either permitted Or conditional uses.
b. The concentration and density of such uses in the City
and its neighborhoods.
c. The effect of such uses on other uses in the surrounding
area.

1.08 There is a need for a study to be conducted so that the
. City can adopt a set of comprehensive plans and land use zoning
regulations pertaining to adult establishment uses. Such a study
will address the land use and zoning issues, including chose
referenced above.
1.09 There is a need for an interim ordinance to be adopted
for the purpose of protecting the planning process and the health,
safety, and welfare of the citizens of the City and to ensure that
the City and its citizens retain the benefits of the City's
comprehensive plan and zoning ordinance until such a study has been
completed. There is a need to restrict such uses until such a
study has been completed and any modifications to the City's zoning
and land use regulations are accomplished.
1.10 The City Council has directed that such a study be
undertaken.
1.11 Minnesota Statutes, Seccion 462.355, Subd. 4 permits the
adoption of interim zoning ordinances during the planning process.
