PUBLIC HEARING. PRESBYTERIAN HOMES BOND ISSUE
A. Resolution #99-19, Resolution Reciting a Proposal for a Housing Finance Program to
Finance an Elderly Housing Development Project, Giving Preliminary Approval to the
Project and the Issuance of Revenue Bonds Pursuant to Minnesota Law, and Ratifying
the Preparation of a Housing Finance Program (Presbyterian Homes Obligated Group
Project)
Mayor Probst opened the public hearing at 7:31 p.m.
Mr, Fritsinger explained that the City Council had before it a resolution, which would give
preliminary approval for the issuance of bonds for Presbyterian Homes. The City has, on several
occasions, issued bonds on behalf of Presbyterian Homes that permitted the refinancing of an
existing Revenue Bond for Presbyterian Homes, These funds were used exclusively at Arden
Hills facilities.
The total amount of bonds being proposed is not to expected to exceed $30,000,000. This bond
issuance is unique from other revenue bonds that have been issued in the past, in that this bond
-
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JUNE 28, 1999 40
issuance is not only for Arden Hills facilities, but also for facilities located in Little canada,' ~. ~4J:-~
Spring Park, Bloomington, Minnesota; and Ankeny, Iowa. .
The revenue bonds being proposed are authorized by State of Minnesota Statutes 462, which
deals with municipal housing programs, and 469, which deals with industrial development
bonds. Under this program, the cities are used as a conduit for the financing mechanism used for
the improvements. This relates back to the State's intention that local governments help where
they can with various nursing home and health care facilities, which are needed for citizens
throughout the State.
The City of Arden Hills will be asked to give final approval of the Bond Sale. This will most
likely take place in late August. As part of this approval, the City will be executing a variety of
documents including a loan agreement and Joint Powers Agreement, for the facility in Iowa.
The bond is not a general obligation of the City of Arden Hills, or any of the other cities listed.
The bonds are issued, based on the revenues of the project, and are payable from sums to be paid
by the developer, pursuant to a revenue agreement.
Mr. Fritsinger advised that the City Council was asked to adopt Resolution #99-19, resolution
reciting a proposal for a Housing Finance Program to finance an elderly housing development
project, giving preliminary approval to the project and the issuance of Revenue Bonds pursuant
to Minnesota Law, and ratifying the preparation of a Housing Finance Program (Presbyterian
Homes Obligated Group Project). .
Mayor Probst requested confirmation that this bonding would have no effect on the City of
Arden Hills' bond indebtedness. Mr. Fritsinger confmned that this was correct,
Mayor Probst closed the public hearing at 7:35 p,m., as no one wished to address the City
Council.
Councilmember Larson noted the staff report had indicated that previously issued bonds were
used exclusively at Arden Hills facilities. He asked why, in this case, the Presbyterian Homes
did not ask the City for bonds related only to the improvements in Arden Hills and make requests
to the other cities for the improvements within their areas. Mr. Fritsinger explained that, due to
the size of the refinancing and the issues involved, Presbyterian Homes needed to look at each
community to determine how this may affect other bonds that are planned to be issued in those
communities.
Mr. Post added that Presbyterian Homes approached the other cities to see if there would be any
conflict with other bond issuances planned for this year. There is an upper limit of bank
qualified debt of$IO,OOO,OOO each year. This proposal would have far exceeded this limit.
Since the City of Arden Hills was not planning any issuance debt this year, the City was the
logical candidate to issue the bonds.

PUBLIC INFORMATION MEETING (HIGHWAY 96 RECONSTRUCTION - I-35W TO
LEXINGTON AVENUE)
Mr. Jim Tolaas, Ramsey County Public Works Project Manager, explained that Ramsey County
and the City of Arden Hills have been working with the Minnesota Department of Transportation
to develop plans for the reconstruction of Highway 96 from I - 3 5W to Lexington A venue. One of
the most challenging issues identified in this segment has been in the area between I-35W and
US Highway 10, Conflicts with Round Lake, improved commercial access, property impacts to
Arden Manor Mobile Home Park, traffic capacity, and access for future development ofthe
TCAAP site have been addressed in the design process.
.
Ramsey County is working closely with the Minnesota Department of Transportation to find a
solution for putting together a funding package. The County is also trying to be sensitive to the
needs of the City of Arden Hills, for the current development of the Round Lake Park area, as
well as future development of the TCAAP area and the Mobile Home Park. Ramsey County has
struggled to find a solution, which is acceptable to both the City of Arden Hills and the State of
Minnesota. In the past, Ramsey County has been a proponent of protecting local interest as well
as serving long-term regional needs, which has been a difficult task.
Mr. Tolaas stated that he was present at the meeting to present one recent proposed solution,
which has been through the Minnesota Department of Transportation's preliminary layout group.
The Minnesota Department of Transportation sees this as a more attractive option than the
previous one as it would be safer and would set itself up well for a future interchange off of US
Highway 10. This option also protects the City's long-term interest. In the short term, there
would be some trade-offs for the City of Arden Hills.
At previous meetings, Ramsey County had proposed a grade separation at US Highway 10 and
Highway 96. This previous solution which was presented and approved by the City Council,
would have provided a ramp on the north side of Highway 96 to provide access from US
Highway 10 to Highway 96 for both east and west bound traffic, This option was presented to
the Minnesota Department of Transportation and it was agreed that this concept did serve the
intermediate access need, while at the same time setting itself up a future interchange to the north
which would provide good access for the TCAAP site.
.
What the Minnesota Department of Transportation focused on in the final analysis of this option
was, because of the openings on US Highway 10 serving the Big 1 o Supper Club, Scherer
Lumber, Arden Manor Mobile Home Park and the TCAAP area, there would be weaving issues
and safety problems with the ramp, Ramps create situations where traffic weaves across lanes to
make left-hand turns, which causes congestion and serious safety issues, particularly with the
high speed of traffic in the area.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JUNE 28,1999
The Minnesota Department of Transportation asked that Ramsey County go back and revisit this
issue. The Minnesota Department of Transportation's position is that they could accept this
scenario, however, with conditions that address the safety and circulation issues developed in this
area, such as closing off the accesses completely. This action would leave the City without any
access to US Highway 10 for the properties north of Highway 96 and west of US Highway 10.
The Minnesota Department of Transportation, Ramsey County and Arden Hills City staff worked
at developing a frontage road option along the west side of US Highway 10, in lieu of the
previous ramp proposal. This option would have some trade-offs and restrict some access, The
southbound US Highway 10 traffic could not access Highway 96 at all. There would be an
opening for the Scherer Lumber facility from north bound US Highway 10. This opening would
be configured in such a way so as not to allow cut through traffic from US Highway 10 to
Highway 96,
The proposed frontage road would displace the current home sites on the west side of US
Highway 10, The frontage road would provide access for local property owners by allowing for
both east and west movements onto Highway 96. This option does put a greater focus on the
interchange at 1-35W. Ramsey County has proposed a single point diamond design interchange
for this location. This is an improvement, which will not occur for several years since the
Minnesota Department of Transportation is considering the 1-35W corridor in a broader sense,
Mr. T olaas stated that he did not believe there would be support for funding at this location until
the Minnesota Department of Transportation completes the 1-35W study.
Mr. Tolaas expressed his belief that this second option is an attractive proposal for circulation of
the US Highway 10 and Highway 96 intersection. It is likely that the Minnesota Department of
Transportation would work closely with Ramsey County to develop a funding package for this
option. Mr. Tolaas stated that the County is not attempting to dictate to the City which scenario
should be chosen. One option would be to back away from this entire segment until the funding
is put together. At this point, the County cannot move forward with an engineering design until a
concept is found which is acceptable to both the City of Arden Hills and the State of Minnesota.
Mayor Probst noted that a related development was that the State of Minnesota is in the process
of turning back Highway 96 to Ramsey County. With this process, Highway 96 is being
scheduled for upgrades from Old Highway 8 through to White Bear Lake. In theory, by the end
of this summer, everything from Lexington Avenue to the east will be completed. Mr. Tolaas
noted that the eastern portion of Highway 96 is scheduled to be a two year project.
Mayor Probst stated that in conversations with Ramsey County, the City of Arden Hills had
thought there had been a resolution of the US Highway 10 and Highway 96 interchange. The
Minnesota Department of Transportation entered the discussions somewhat late and had
indicated a strong desire to have a grade separation with a bridge for US Highway 10 over
Highway 96. The overall plan had been for US Highway 10 to serve as a reliever for 1-35W
traffic.
The initial proposal the City received from the Minnesota Department of Transportation related
to this plan provided no access at the US Highway 10 and Highway 96 interchange. The City

Council at that time objected and requested that the Minnesota Department of Transportation
provide the City with some analysis and options, which the Minnesota Department of
Transportation was not willing to do. The City of Arden Hills had the City Engineer analyze the
area and provide some options. The ramp option, which had been approved by the City Council,
was the result of these analyses.
At that time, the City of Arden Hills had believed there was an agreement with the Minnesota
Department of Transportation to proceed with the Highway 96 work within the City. There have
been previous public meetings and, one issue for the City Council is that there are a number of
residents who, regardless of which option is chosen for the interchange, will be directly affected
by the project. A number of homeowners in the Arden Manor Mobile Home Park have been put
on hold with regard to property acquisition. Additionally, the Highway 96 segment to I-35W
cannot proceed until these remaining issues are resolved.
Mayor Probst opened the meeting up to public comments.
Mr. Alan Johnson, 4529 Lakeshore Place, stated that he has lived at the southwest intersection of
US Highway 10 and Highway 96 for 46 years. He indicated that he had spoken with the
Minnesota Department of Transportation regarding the three-inch drop in the road. At night he
can hear trucks banging because of this drop, and this has been going on for a long time. He
asked if the City Council would write to the Minnesota Department of Transportation to have
this drop fixed. Additionally, a barrier should be constructed along the west side of US Highway
10 to block the noise of traffic.
Mr. Johnson expressed his preference for entrances to Highway 10 be along the TCAAP
property. He opposes the options being presented, as they would displace homes.
Ms. Becky Olson stated that she was agitated by the casual way in which it was said that homes
would be displaced. She expressed her agreement with Mr. Johnson that, with all the property
along the edge of the TCAAP area, which is open with no buildings, there would be no reason to
displace homeowners in order to construct a frontage road.
Mayor Probst stated that one issue with trying to utilize the TCAAP property is the geometries of
US Highway 10 and how the intersection ofI-35W connects with US Highway 10. Mr. Tolaas
stated that there would be a number of considerations for realigning US Highway 10, He noted
that the Minnesota Department of Transportation is not proposing to reconstruct US Highway 10
at this point.
With regard to the use ofthe TCAAP property, Mr. Tolaas indicated that it might be a number of
years before this land would be available, When considering the future, it is likely that there
would be major construction along US Highway 10 from the intersection at Highway 96 to 1-
35W, along both sides of the highway. At this time, if the County were to attempt to realign US
Highway 10, it would not receive funding support from the Minnesota Department of
Transportation, as this would not be seen as a necessary expenditure.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JUNE 28, 1999 Db
Mr. Tolaas noted that Ramsey County began the Highway 96 design process with a concept Of:: 4J:'~
at-grade intersection at US Highway 10 and Highway 96. Because of existing and anticipated .
significant growth of traffic volumes, Ramsey County felt that the intersection would reach a
level service F, which relates to high levels of traffic with stop and go movement. An at-grade
intersection could still be built; however, it may not be the right solution to invest a great deal of
money into. Mr. Tolaas suggested that, if it takes the TCAAP site to develop in order to gain
support of the broader improvements, this would be an option.
Mayor Probst stated that another issue related to this discussion is the City of Arden Hills and
Ramsey County's ability to complete the reconstruction of Highway 96, It was his
understanding that the Mirmesota Department of Transportation would not allow the 1-35W
bridge work to commence until this issue is resolved.
Mr. Tolaas stated that, when Ramsey County originally proposed an at-grade intersection, there
had been minor bridge widening proposed at 1-35W. When considering capacity issues and how
to improve them, in order to get support of an improved interchange at 1-35W, the Minnesota
Department of Transportation felt that the intersection of US Highway 10 and Highway 96 was
an integral part of the whole issue.
If Ramsey County strongly supported an at-grade intersection, minor changes could be made to
the bridge at 1-35W; however, this would only be a temporary solution. Ramsey County is trying
to focus on the long-term results and if, when the TCAAP site is ready for development, the City
is not in the position to create an interchange at that point, it could have a serious impact on how a.
quickly the TCAAP site could be developed. _
With regard to the neighborhood concerns for the future of their homes, Councilmember Larson
asked if the original proposal, approved by the City Council, would have required the acquisition
of any properties. Mr. Tolaas stated that it would not require the displacement of private homes.
However, the mobile homes within the park itself would be affected, Approximately seven to 10
mobile homes would be displaced. He extended his apology to Ms. Olson for the use of the term
displacement, however, he did not mean to use the term casually. He noted that there is a
program, which is very fair in assisting displaced homeowners in finding new homes.
Councilmember Larson confirmed that, in comparing the two options, the new option proposed
this evening would call for the removal of private homes. Mr, Tolaas concurred.
Mr. Rex Markle, 1859 Todd Drive, Arden Manor Mobile Home Park, asked if there would be
any northbound access to US Highway 10 near the Big 10 bar. Mr. Tolaas stated that there
would not be an access to northbound US Highway lOin that area. Mr. Markle asked if there
would be access to the Mobile Home Park from US Highway 10. Mr. Tolaas stated that there
would be access from the frontage road. He indicated that the only access point onto US
Highway 10 would be at the Scherer Lumber entrance, which exists today. This access would be
configured in such a way that northbound traffic on US Highway 10 could enter the frontage
road at Scherer Lumber and travel south on the frontage road to Highway 96.

ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JUNE 28,1999 D'A1iJ;7 ;1
Mr. Markle sought confirmation that the only way to access US Highway 10 from the Arden ~ .f(,'if:'r
Manor Mobile Home Park would be from I-35W. Mr. Tolaas stated that this was correct.
Mr. Glen Beggin, 4519 Lakeshore Place, stated that it was not clear in his mind what would
happen to the traffic, which comes from Shoreview, and the rest of Arden Hills, to Mounds View
High School and how the students will be affected. Currently the students pass by his house on
their way to schooL The construction period would affect him as well as high school student
traffic.
Mr. Beggin stated that he was worried about other effects such as the noise generated by the
proposed elevated road, which could reduce property values. At this time there are seven homes
at the southwest corner of US Highway 10 and Lakeshore Place which have a barrier of trees,
which somewhat protected the homes when US Highway 10 was last upgraded. Additionally,
the increase in pavement due to these upgrades have impacted ground drainage across his
property and, at times, his home. At this time there are three water mains which are directly in
front of his home, next to his driveway, which have been worked on recently.
Mr. Beggin indicated that one reason he bought his home was the easy access to the freeways, It
seems to him that, with this proposal, his access will be limited. Additionally, there was no
information whether Old Highway 10 will meet up with Highway 96.
Mayor Probst stated that both proposals illustrate the connection with Old Highway 10 to
Highway 96 unchanged, which is essentially the only thing, which would remain unchanged,
With the original proposal approved by the City Council, the connections from northbound US
Highway 10 to eastbound Highway 96 are lost, as well as the connections from eastbound
Highway 96 to southbound US Highway 10, Movements to Highway 96 from southbound US
Highway 10 would be preserved. With the new proposal made this evening, all of those
connections are lost, with the exception ofthe connection to Scherer Lumber to the north, and
maintains the northerly egress to the Arden Manor Mobile Home Park.
Councilmember Malone stated that this entire process is frustrating. The City of Arden Hills had
originally planned an at-grade intersection in 1996. Since then, the Minnesota Department of
Transportation has gotten involved and is suggesting a plan with no connections. This would
cause problems by cutting off needed circulation in the area, as well as negatively impacting the
residents.
With the new proposal, land would be set aside for an intersection to allow CroSS traffic at US
Highway 10 and Highway 96 at some time in the future. Councilmember Malone expressed
concern for the short term, as this would be a temporary solution, There is no assurance that this
future intersection would be constructed, The City of Arden Hills is being asked to make some
significant trade-offs with a vague promise from the Minnesota Department of Transportation
that someday the area will be fixed, The City of Arden Hills has been let down before by these
sort of vague promises, such as the reconstruction of Highway 96. At this point there are no
plans in the State's Transportation Improvement Program for these improvements.

Councilmember Malone stated he would prefer to look into the practicality of an intersection at 'ii.1'-~.
grade. Without anything in writing, he would be reluctant to allow construction which would
seriously impact the City, with only a vague promise that the situation will be fixed sometime in
the future,
Councilmember Aplikowski stated that this process was frustrated her too and she had been
happier with the original plan approved by the City Council. With regard to the displacement of
homes, she suggested that perhaps these homeowners may be impacted in the future by more
noise and may be relieved that they were relocated. She indicated that she was inclined to do
nothing with this intersection until the TCAAP area develops.
Mayor Probst asked Mr. Tolaas what he thought would happen if the City chose to go back to the
original plan with an at-grade intersection. Mr. Tolaas stated that, considering the length oftime
this project has been discussed, and the strong interest the State has in a grade separation at the
intersection, he was not sure how the Minnesota Department of Transportation would respond.
However, it is within the rights of the City to make this request. He noted that it would be a
short-term solution, which would require major alterations once the TCAAP site is available.
Additionally, there may be a funding issue, as the Minnesota Department of Transportation
would not support this scenario.
Mayor Probst asked if the turnback money would still be available. Mr. Tolaas stated that the
turnback money is available, however it would be looked at with stronger scrutiny than with
previous work. Tumback funds are generally used to restore roadways and the State would be a e
harsher critic of an at-grade intersection and the widening ofthe bridge at 1-35W, The Minnesota
Department of Transportation is convinced that the City would be left with a level of service,
which would be unacceptable to everyone. The State is anticipating a significant increase in
traffic in the area and if the City of Arden Hills wants to utilize State funds, it should work with
the State,
Mayor Probst stated that he was not inclined to provide direction this evening, as he would prefer
more time to think about the situation. He indicated that the greater harm to the residents of the
Arden Manor Mobile Home Park is not coming to closure with what will happen to their homes.
At this time there are six more residents who would lose their homes than with the original
proposal. These residents also deserve more time to think about this prospect. He suggested that
the residents contact Ramsey County if they want additional information.
Councilmember Aplikowski asked, if a person traveling north on US Highway 10 had business
on Highway 96 to the east, how would they access this area with the new proposal. Mr. Tolaas
stated that the person would not use Highway 10. Access to Highway 96 could be made either
from Lexington Avenue or I-35W, This does indicate the need for better access at I-35W and
Highway 96.
Councilmember Larson confirmed that all the ramps at I-35W would be metered. Mr. Tolaas
stated that this was correct. Councilmember Larson stated that, if a person traveling west on .
Highway 96 wanted to access northbound US Highway 10, they would be forced to utilize 1-35W
and wait at a metered ramp. Mr. Tolaas stated that this was correct.

Councilmember Larson asked what the cost differences were between the two proposals. Mr.
To1aas stated that the proposal with the ramps would be much more expensive. Councilmember
Larson asked how much more the ramp proposal would cost. Mr. Tolaas stated that the ramps
themselves cost approximately one-quarter of a million dollars each. Additionally, the north
ramp would need to acquire TCAAP property and could cause a major delay in the completion of
the project. Mr. To1aas noted that the staging of either of the proposals would be challenging
because of the traffic. The construction will require by-pass lanes and temporarily signalized
intersections, which can be very costly.
Councilmember Larson asked Mr. Tolaas to explain what the noise level impacts would be to the
residents in the area west of US Highway 10. Mr. Tolaas explained that the grade separation at
US Highway 10 would be achieved by Highway 96 being under US Highway 10, The profile
leading to and from the bridge would be approximately the same, Therefore, aside from normal
traffic growth, which will occur with or without this effort, the Mobile Home Park residents
experience would be about the same. With regard to ramps, the ramp areas would be closer and
would generate more traffic, which would otherwise be directed over to 1-35W. Cutting off the
connection would reduce the number of vehicles on Highway 96. Mr. Tolaas noted that, with the
expected increase in traffic over time, this area might not be attractive for residential use.
Councilmember Larson asked, if there is a choice to move forward with the proposal with ramps,
would there also be impacts that would be eliminated with the reduction of stop and go traffic
noises. Mr. Tolaas noted that there would still be noise from traffic traveling at a high rate of
speed.
With regard to the second option presented this evening, Councilmember Larson asked what
dictated the location of the future intersection to the north, which was shown in gray on the map.
Mr. Tolaas stated that this area was shown on the map simply as a general vicinity. The location
of this intersection will depend upon land use. He noted that there couldn't be two intersections
so close to each other. Therefore, if the intersection at Highway 96 were constructed with ramps,
the ramps would have to be removed in order to construct the new intersection to the north.
Councilmember Larson noted that this would be assuming that the proposed new intersection
would be located at the site shown on the map. He indicated that there is nine-tenths of a mile
between the intersection and the off-ramp from US Highway 10 to 1-35W. Therefore, there is
quite a bit of room to allow an access at the TCAAP property.
Mr. T olaas stated that the Minnesota Department of Transportation would oppose this idea since
the State is very protective about how far apart interchanges are. With the high speed of traffic,
the State would want any connections to US Highway 10 as far apart as possible. The Minnesota
Department of Transportation prefers two miles between interchanges.
Councilmember Larson stated that he would still prefer the original proposal. This proposal
would eliminate the need to acquire property and displace homeowners. Councilmember
Aplikowski asked ifthe City has the option to choose the original proposal. Mr. Tolaas stated
that the Minnesota Department of Transportation's position was that they would reluctantly
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JUNE 28, I 999 lJ~'Q) /' _
"" ~J ~{,; J:..
<6...,.:,' /.-.:.-"',<,
accept this option. They would want to put into writing that, if some of their fears for safety due .,~ J''''.......
to weaving patterns arise, they would eliminate all local accesses from or onto US Highway 10. .
Councilmember Larson asked what local accesses Mr. Tolaas was referring to. Mr. Tolaas stated
that he was referring to the opening to Scherer Lumber and the Big IOSupper Club,
Councilmember Larson noted that these accesses would be closed off with the new proposal.
Mr. Tolaas stated that the only access, which would remain, was the access for Scherer Lumber.
He noted, however, that the loss of access would be made up by the construction of a frontage
road,
Councilmember Malone expressed his belief that the City of Arden Hills is being held to a higher
standard by the Minnesota Department of Transportation than other cities. There is pressure
being put on the City for long-term vision, which is not being put on other cities, and it appears
as though other communities are allowed to follow different rules.
With regard to the spacing of interchanges, Councilmember Malone stated that the high level of
traffic, which would be dumped onto Highway 694, with the proposed upgrades, would be too
close to Lexington A venue, It seems to him that if it is convenient for the Minnesota Department
of Transportation to not pay attention to the rules, it is acceptable. However, Arden Hills is
expected to have long-term vision. He expressed his belief that the State should create a super-
interchange at I-35W and Highway 694 and leave US Highway 10 as a local access.
Councilmember Malone stated that he understands the need for vision. He would be less e
reluctant if there was a good plan, if the City of Arden Hills was treated the same as other
communities and if the Minnesota Department of Transportation were willing to provide a long-
term commitment for future construction. He noted that if this issue is not resolved, the
Highway 96 improvements may not be accomplished since the turnback funds may not be
applied.
Councilmember Malone stated that the Arden Hills taxpayers pay a great deal of State Tax and
get very little back in return.
Mr. Johnson noted that if the new proposal were approved, it would make it difficult for fire
trucks to access the Arden Manor Mobile Home Park.
With regard to the maintenance of the frontage road, Mr. Fritsinger asked Mr. Tolaas how the
ownership and future maintenance responsibilities of the different configurations would take
place. Mr. Tolaas stated that the frontage road would be a municipal access road.
With regard to Councilmember Malone's concerns, Mr. Tolaas stated that he had not intended to
suggest that the turn-back funds would not be available for the Highway 96 reconstruction, He
indicated that there are certain types of features which the State feels are not meeting the
standards. Councilmember Malone stated that when he sees money being spent on projects
which are poorly designed, such as WisPark in Shoreview, he feels as though the City of Arden e
Hills is being held to a different standard.

Mayor Probst stated that the City Council would not be taking action on this issue this evening,
He indicated that the City will have to take some position as a community in the near future and
the City will keep the residents informed as the process moves forward,
Councilmember Rem asked if it would be possible to have the Minnesota Department of
Transportation represented the next time this issue is discussed at a Council meeting, Mayor
Probst stated that a State representative would most likely attend a meeting if asked to do so.
Councilmember Aplikowski asked that those residents present at the meeting take the time to
think about this issue and let the City know how they feel, particularly those residents whose
homes would be eventually moved,

PUBLIC COMMENTS
Mayor Probst invited those present to come forward and address the Council on any items not
already on the agenda.
Mr. Frank Rekuski, 3170 Hamline Avenue, wished to address the Council regarding the
Josephine East, LLC development in the Shoreline Lane area. He indicated that he had received
a letter from the City staff and be wished to clarify a few items. He had hoped to have the
developer's agreement ready for this evening's meeting, however, he did not receive the
agreement until this evening,
Mr. Rekuski stated that, upon the approval of the plat for this development, the construction of
the two front lots has begun. The two rear lots were to be held until the access situation is
resolved. He had received a copy of the minutes from the City Council meeting and he was
concerned that the minutes did not reflect what he had understood, The minutes indicated that,

months he would have to walk away from the two lots and he was not willing to do this, He
hoped that the wording could be changed to say that, if the situation were not resolved within 20
months, he would have to come back to the City Council in order to strive for a solution.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JUNE 28,1999
Mr. Rekuski stated that he has worked with the two neighbors for three weeks and has still not
come to an agreement with them. He indicated that the neighbor to the east, Ms. Rushenburg, is
very upset with the City Council. He believes that the only way to ease her mind would be if the
City Council spoke with her and explain that she would not be losing anything by allowing the
needed easement, It was his understanding that Ms. Rushenburg is concerned that, if she gives
up the easement, she will be left with a non-conforming lot
Mayor Probst stated that if there were a request from Ms, Rushenburg to clarify what an
easement means, the City would certainly be willing to do this. Mr. Rekuski stated that he had
spoken with staff and received clarification of easements. He had attempted to explain this to
Ms. Rushenburg; however, she is still very uncomfortable. He suggested that he bring Ms.
Rushenburg to the City staff in order for them to sit down and explain the situation to her.
Mayor Probst stated that if Ms. Rushenburg has questions, the City staff would provide answers,
Mr. Fritsinger stated that one issue from the staff's point of view was that, it is one thing for staff
to answer questions with regard to Code requirements and expectations of the City. However,
staff is trying to avoid having to negotiate what had become a part of Mr. Rekuski' s development .
process.
Councilmember Malone stated that the condition for approval of the plat was correct as it
appears in the minutes. The intent of the City Council was to find a way to approve the plat and
the problem was that there were two westerly lots that, in order for them to actually be lots, they
had to have public access. The easterly lots were acceptable because they have public right-of-
way access. The condition for approval was to allow two years to settle the access issue. If, after
the two years, the access situation were not resolved, the plat approval would become null.
Mr. Rekuski stated that the four lots could have access to Lexington Avenue at this time. He had
wanted to eliminate this access due to the agreement with Mr. Bachman for access to the cul-de-
sac. Councilmember Malone reiterated that the City Council couldn't automatically approve a
plat that includes two lots without access.
Mayor Probst stated that the City Council would not have approved the four lots if the current
access situation were permanent The Council has given approval for the four-lot configuration
under the assumption that the final platting process would be expedited. The two-year time
frame was intended to ensure action was taken to rectify the access situation. Mayor Probst
stated that the minutes of the meeting were accurate. Mr, Rekuski stated that the City is asking
for something he has no control over. Councilmember Malone expressed his understanding of
Mr. Rekuski's predicament He pointed out, however, that the only alternative would have been .

Ms. Diane Rushenburg, 3168 Shoreline Lane, stated that she has made a few calls to the City in
ordcr to gain an understanding of the easement and find out what her options are. She indicated
that she is not trying to hold up the development and she is not being unrealistic. She felt that
she would be foolish to sign an agreement allowing access across her property without having a
full understanding of the situation and what her options are.

Ms. Jody Hilgers, 1532 Briarknoll Drive, stated that she came to the meeting to hear the proposal
regarding the US Highway 10 and Highway 96 intersection. She indicated that she lives at the
southeast portion of this intersection and she was interested in the Council's strategy on how the
Minnesota Department of Transportation' s objective to handle the traffic volume on US
Highway 10 will affect the neighboring residential properties.
Ms. Hilgers agreed with Councilmember Malone's comment that perhaps the City should be
challenging the Minnesota Department of Transportation to do something to improve the
interchange at Highway 694 and 135- W, She was concerned by the comments that the Minnesota
Department of Transportation plans to do something with the Highway 694 and US Highway 10
interchange, however, no one really knows what these plans are. Consideration should be given
to how much money the Minnesota Department of Transportation plans to spend on the Highway
694 and US Highway 10 interchange, the Highway 96 and US Highway 10 interchange, and the
Highway 96 and 135-W interchange. The City should take a look at why it would want to
encourage continued volumes of traffic through residential Arden Hills, which would decrease
property values, rather than challenging the Minnesota Department of Transportation to improve
the Highway 694 and 135- W interchange.
Mayor Probst stated that this is what the City has been attempting to do. Within the
Transportation Improvement Program, there is a process by which projects must get into this
program in order to be funded and scheduled for construction. The latest document indicates that
the first work scheduled for the Arden Hills area is the Highway 694 overlay. All other projects
are more than 10 years out The City has challenged the Minnesota Department of
Transportation to give the City some options; however, the Minnesota Department of
Transportation has not looked at this situation in this level of detail. The City took on some
advanced engineering work to try to understand what could happen.
Mayor Probst stated that there is a lot more work which needs to be done, however, the City is
not convinced at this time that it wants to spend General Fund dollars for these projects, One
other vehicle which may provide help to the City of Arden Hills is the I-35W Corridor Coalition
which is currently looking at I-35W and its related transportation issues,
Mayor Probst stated that the people who are in the most difficult position at this time are those
residents in the Mobile Home Park who were told two years ago that they may lose their homes.
Councilmember Malone offered to provide Ms. Hilgers with a copy ofthe Transportation
Improvement Program for her to review, He noted that the problem with this program is that,
according to Federal regulations, the State cannot plan more than three years out Since the
improvements in Arden Hills are beyond this limit, there is no formal plan for these projects. He

UNFINISHED AND NEW BUSINESS
B. Arden Manor Park Project
.Mr. Fritsinger explained that the discussion to improve the Arden Manor Park has been ongoing
for several months. The Parks and Recreation Committee has spent a good portion of the last six
to eight months looking at the whole program for Arden Manor, including two items which were
a part of this year's Capital Improvement Program, the playstructure and the basketball court.
The Parks and Recreation Committee met with residents of Arden Manor Mobile Home Park on
March 16, 1999, to discuss the potential redevelopment of the park. Prior to this meeting, staff
had sent surveys to each resident of the Mobile Home Park, soliciting input into the possible
features of the redeveloped park.
.Mr. Fritsinger presented drawings depicting the current layout ofthe park. He indicated that the
Parks and Recreation Committee Commission looked into the feasibility of an overall
redevelopment. The Committee members discussed adding trails around the play area, moving
the playstructure, and generally improving the overall site. This concept had a number of
concerns, particularly with the trail area. There is an ongoing drainage problem within the park
and constructing a trail around the perimeter of the park would present additional drainage e
problems. For these reasons, the Committee moved away from this concept and focused on the
items, which are components of the Capital Improvement Program for this year.
As the Committee looked into the options for the younger children and spoke with the residents,
the real need, which came up, was to provide an enhanced playstructure and a basketball court
for the older children, A third item, which came up, was the picnic shelter. The picnic shelter is
currently located to the far north, adjacent to the pond. With the redesign, it was felt that moving
the picnic shelter in greater proximity to the other activities taking place would enhance its
usability by the residents.
The one constant related to this redevelopment which has been a subject of discussion over the
last six years has been the issue of drainage, The storm water improvement being suggested is an
enhanced drainage swale that would carry the water to the existing outlet pipe.
Last year, the park owner had been granted City approval to construct a garage in the parking lot.
One problem that did not come up when this approval had been granted was the fact that it
limited the City's ability to enter the park with maintenance equipment, Additionally, the City
could not maintain a skating rink in the park this past winter, for the first time, because it could
not access the site to flood the rink, The redevelopment of the park would also include an
improved access, not only to the general area of the improvements being proposed, but also
allowing access to the rest of the park to perform general maintenance. .

The total estimated cost for the park redevelopment would be $125,640. This amount is fairly
significant compared to what was projected in the Capital Improvement Program this year. The
projected cost to replace the playstructure and basketball court was approximately $55,000.
With regard to the condition of the park itself, Mr. Fritsinger stated that the various structures are
in need of repair or replacement. The primary cause for the condition of the facilities is the poor
quality of the soil present in the park. The park structures experience a great deal of heaving
during the spring thaw. In addition, the ongoing drainage problems have also caused damage to
the facilities,
One question which the Parks and Recreation Committee, as well as the City Council, has
struggled with is what would be the long-term nature of any improvements that the City puts into
the park. The City has an easement for the area; however, it does not own the land on which the
park is located. When Arden Manor Mobile Home Park was platted, the City Council at the time
made the decision that, to satisfY park dedication, an easement would be sufficient. Along with
this there were some improvements that the owner ofthe Mobile Home Park was required to
make in the playground area. It does appear that this was accomplished to the satisfaction of
both the City and the owner. As long as the Arden Manor Mobile Home Park exists, the City
will be responsible for maintaining the park structures easement.
The City does not have any storm water easements within the Mobile Home Park. As a result,
the City has no legal responsibility for the drainage improvements proposed as part of this
project. The City has attempted, for many years, to encourage the property owner to improve the
drainage problems that exist in the park. The owner has been reluctant to undertake the level of
drainage improvements suggested by the City. However, eventually, the Park owner did improve
the drainage swale around the tennis and basketball courts, but did not undertake any of the other
improvements previously suggested by the City.
The Parks and Recreation Committee tried to consider what the overall benefit of improvements
to the park would be to the community and believe that the City's investment in the park is not
only good for the Mobile Home Park community, but also good for the City as welL Continuing
to put off the redevelopment would not be in the best interest of the community.
The City recently completed a drainage report that identified all of the areas within the City that
had a need for drainage improvements. This area was rated high in terms of the need for
improvements in the area of$25,000. These improvements could be paid for out ofthe SWM
Fund. The remainder of the costs would primarily be funded out of the Park Fund. The current
balance of the Park Fund is approximately $460,000.
A few years ago, the City Council had challenged the Parks and Recreation Committee
Commission to look at the type of projects available within the community and to prioritize these
projects for utilization of the Park Fund balance, The Parks and Recreation Committee felt that
this project was a high priority.

One other option available for funding may be through the use of an assessment to the property
owner. Under the Arden Hills Assessment Policy, the City has the authority to assess for this
type of improvement project
"~i
Using the recently acquired socio-ecomomic data, the City has been able to map out the total
number and age of children currently residing in the Mobile Home Park. This data shows that
the park has the largest concentration of children within the City. The improvements would be
geared for those children.
Mr. Fritsinger stated that in looking at the Capital Improvement Program document and the notes
related to the improvements to both the playstructure and basketball court, there might not have
been much consideration given to improving the sub-base below those two facilities, Based on
the cost of simply installing the playstructures with woodchips and concrete for the basketball
court, it seems to be comparable to just installing the facilities without making improvements to
minimize heaving. In working with the City Engineer, staff has included these types of site
preparation improvements, which have been added to the cost of the project
Mr. Fritsinger advised that the Parks and Recreation Committee recommended to the Arden Hills
City Council that the following improvements be made to Arden Manor Park:
. Replacement of playstructure
. Construction of new full-size basketball court
. Completion of correction drainage improvements
. Completion of soil correction/sub-base work
. Relocation of existing picnic shelter
e
If the City Council supports this recommendation, it should move to direct the City Engineer to
prepare the necessary plans and specifications for the project and to work with the property
owner to obtain approval for the improved park service drive.
Mr, Fritsinger indicated that members of the Parks and Recreation Committee were present at the
meeting to speak to the importance of proceeding with this park redevelopment project.
Mr. Don Messerly, Chairman of the Parks and Recreation Committee, stated that this project has
been a priority of the Committee over the last six to nine years. Thanks to the hard work by the
City Administrator in assisting the Committee, the Commission finally has a proposal for
consideration by the City Council. He indicated that it is a perplexing subject that the Arden
Manor Park is private land and any improvements made by the City will benefit the owner of the
Park. However, the children living at the Mobile Home Park have nothing in the way of
recreational facilities. The closest parks are the Valentine Park and Royal Oaks Park. Therefore,
even though the improvements would benefit the Park owner, the project would be done for the
children who really need it
Mayor Probst stated that there was no question of the appropriateness of trying to improve the
facilities at Arden Manor Park. He expressed his frustration that a more enlightened property
owner would be leaping at the opportunity to participate in the improvements, Unfortunately,

the City's history with the current property owner has not been good. Mayor Probst stated that
his position is that the City should try to find a way to proceed. However, he was not prepared
for the City to take on the entire cost of the project. He believed that the City should consider
assessing a portion of the improvements back to the property owner. His only concern of taking
this action would be that the cost would be rolled back to the residents by way oflot rent
increases, Unless the property owner was willing to give title of the park area to the City, the
owner has an obligation to see to it that these improvements are made,
",.
Councilmember Malone concurred with the Mayor's statements. He believed that the soil
corrections and drainage improvements should be assessed back to the property owner and the
City would pay for the playstructure, the basketball court and the movement of the picnic shelter.
When the Mobile Home Park was first approved, there was a need for open space and the
property owner agreed to provide this space. However, the property owner has not lived up to
his part of the agreement. He noted that the Arden Manor Mobile Home Park is private property
and he does have a problem with expending public money on private property.
Councilmember Larson expressed his beliefthat, although it is uncertain as to whether or not the
City can ask, or force the owner of the Park to pay an assessment, this should not stand in the
way of making the needed improvements, Although he supports the idea of the Park owner
sharing in the cost for improvements, he would hate to see the improvements delayed any longer
than they already have been. There is a strong need to provide improvements for the residents of
the Mobile Home Park.
Council member Larson stated that he supported the proposal as well as having the property
owner pay for the drainage improvements and the soil corrections,
Mayor Probst stated that the action requested of the City Council was to direct the City Engineer
to prepare the necessary plans and specifications for the project. Additionally, there would be the
bid request and award process, Therefore, there would be time for the City staff to research the
feasibility of assessing the property owner for some of the improvements.
Councilmember Aplikowski asked how many children live in the Mobile Home Park Mr.
Messerly stated that there are 77 children between the ages of three to 12, and 48 children
between the ages of 12 to 17. Council member Aplikowski asked what the residents are paying
for lot rent at this time. Mr. Aaron Fredericks, 1914 Todd Court, resident of the Arden Manor
Mobile Home Park, stated that the lot rent varies depending upon the lot, and it ranges from
approximately $280 to $300 per month.
Being an owner of a Mobile Home Park, Councilmember Aplikowski stated that she would resist
being told that she must expend money, However, she could not see the City putting any money
into the project until the soil corrections and drainage improvements are made. If the City is
going to install a new playstructure, the ground must be ready to accept it. If an assessment is
required to accomplish this, then so be it. She would hate to see the property owner not fulfill his
end of the bargain.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JUNE 28, 1999 ~(t':l /' .
'I. ,/
Mayor Probst stated that the City Council had the option to move forward with the project and ., ..fi"%A..
deal with the assessment later. He noted that ifthe property no longer contained a Mobile Home ..
Park, the drainage improvements would remain with the property. He suggested an amendment
be made to the staffs recommended motion to include research into assessing the drainage
improvements and the soil corrections.
Mr. Fredericks stated that when he comes home from work there are always children playing in
the street. He understands that this is part of being a child and there really is no place else for
them to play. He has lived at the Arden Manor Mobile Home Park for approximately two years
and he had noticed the poor condition of the ground at the park area. He agreed with
Councilmember Aplikowski in that the ground should be made suitable before attempting to
install new facilities. He also agreed that the drainage issue must be addressed prior to any
improvements as well.
Although having the owner pay for some of the improvements may effect his lot rent, Mr.
Fredericks felt that it would not be too much to ask for the property owner to pay, It was his
understanding that the park is private property and, although the owner has given the City the
right to build on the land, the owner should be responsible for at least some of the costs.
Mr. Fredericks stated that he has two young children and he would like for them to have a nice
place to play in order to keep them out ofthe street. Even though the speed limit in the Mobile
Home Park is posted 10 miles per hour, it is likely that an accident will occur.
.
Councilmember Aplikowski cautioned Mr. Fredericks that, no matter what is done is to the park;
the children will still play in the street.
MOTION:
Councilmember Larson moved and Councilmember Malone seconded a motion to
accept the recommendation made by the Parks and Recreation Committee and to
direct the City Engineer to prepare the necessary plans and specifications for the
Arden Manor Park project and to work with the property owner to obtain approval
for the improved park service drive, and for staffto lay the ground work to assess
the property owner for the portion of the costs related to the soil corrections and
drainage improvements, The motion carried unanimously (5-0).
A. Municipal Code Codification, Chapters 1 through 4
Mr. Fritsinger explained that the City Council was being asked to review the proposed changes
to the Municipal Code, Chapters 1 through 4. Staffwill be forwarding this information to the
League of Minnesota Cities who will then prepare a final draft for adoption by the City Council.
With regard to page 1-8, Section 110.03, subparagraph 1, Mayor Probst assumed that the note
portion, which discusses making the language gender neutral, would be removed. He asked if
staff required anything further from the Council to address this concern. Mr. Fritsinger stated
that nothing further is needed from the Council. He indicated that this would be an issue, which .
he will take up with the League of Minnesota Cities to ensure the language being used is proper.
There are still several spots within the Ordinance which use terms such as City Clerk, Clerk, City
e
.

Administer and Administer, and these terms have not all been caught. These need to be made
consistent according to the type of organization the City is,
'4ff~/"rh
Councilmember Malone asked Mr. Fritsinger ifhis official title is Clerk Administrator. Mr.
Fritsinger stated that this was his official title, He noted that the League of Minnesota Cities has
indicated that it technically does not matter what title is used for his position, so long as it is
consistent.
Mayor Probst stated that he would prefer that the Ordinance use the title Administrator for Mr.
Fritsinger's position. Mr. Fritsinger stated that this title is what has been used in the past,
however, there are still places within the Ordinance where other titles have been used.
With regard to page 1-9, subparagraph 4, Mayor Probst noted that this section refers to other
agencies of the City. He wondered if the Code should specifically cover the share of the Lake
Johanna Volunteer Fire Department, or should the section be left as is since it will be brought up
in later chapters. Mr. Fritsinger stated that including the Fire Department was not necessary, He
indicated that the League of Minnesota Cities has addressed a number of places where it states,
"or other agencies as appointed by the City" and this covers the Fire Department.
On page 1-9, subparagraph 5, Mayor Probst noted that the word "May" should be lower case. He
also noted that on page 1-13, Section 120.04 does not make sense. He felt that something must
have been missing in this sentence, Councilmember Malone stated that the words "shall
continue" should be removed.
On page 1-14, Mayor Probst noted that this final section identifies who is eligible to serve
summons and he asked if the list should include the Police or Sheriff Department.
Councilmember Larson stated that there really is no reason to list the Police or Sheriff
Department.
Councilmember Larson stated that, on page 1-5, subparagraph 12, the definition of "Pathway"
and "Pedestrian way" is somewhat confusing. He suggested using the more commonly accepted
term "trail." He noted that when the Code was originally written, pedestrians used trails almost
exclusively. He also noted that the end of the subparagraph states "for the principal use of
pedestrians." He felt that this should be changed to include other methods of non-motorized
transportation.
Mr. Fritsinger stated that there is a slight difference between these definitions and the definitions
in the Zoning Ordinance. Mayor Probst asked ifthere was any reason not to make the definitions
common in the Code and the Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Fritsinger stated that there was no reason
for the definitions not to be the same.
Councilmember Larson asked whether the Code or the Zoning Ordinance is amended more often,
Mr. Fritsinger stated that, although neither one is amended very often, the Zoning Ordinance is
amended more often.

Councilmember Larson stated that on page 2-1, Section 200.02, second sentence, the word
"formal" should be changed to "form." He noted that on the same page, in subparagraph 2, it
states, "The absentee ballot precinct shall be the precinct in which the City Hall of the City
serves as the polling place for such precinct." He asked if this should state "in which the City
Hall of the City is located..." He felt that the way the sentence is written it implies that there
would always be a precinct polling place at the City Hall. .
Mr. Fritsinger stated that at the last election, Ms. Stowell and he were the absentee election
judges and they did all the counting at the City Hall. When the City Hall was moved, it was no
longer the polling place for the City, however, the City Hall did still maintain the absentee
voting. With the new City Hall, the assumption is that the City Hall will once again be the
polling place.
Councilmember Larson stated that the reason he had suggested changing the wording was so it
would not force the City into a situation where the City Hall must be the location for the absentee
ballot precinct. He stated that he had the same concern with regard to subparagraph 3 on page 2-
2.
Councilmember Larson suggested that on page 2-8, Section 220.01, subparagraph 1, the
statement, "or other body of the City" should be added. Since the City is establishing new Task
Forces at this time, and there may be the need to establish other such bodies, this change would
apply to these other groups. He suggested the same addition be made in subparagraphs 2 and 3 .
of the same Section after the word "commission."
Councilmember Larson stated that on page 2-10, subparagraph 2 refers to the human rights
commission and suggested that this entire section should be removed. Mr. Fritsinger stated that
the City Council had already taken action to remove this section of the Code.
Councilmember Larson stated that on page 2-14, subparagraph 5, he could not imagine what
"other officers" would need to be appointed to the Planning Commission. He suggested that this
language be removed. Mr. Fritsinger agreed. Councilmember Malone stated that it might best to
leave this language in since it preserves the ability of the Planning Commission to appoint an
additional officer if necessary.
Councilmember Larson stated that on page 2-16, paragraph 6 creates an appeal process, which
seems to be very different from any other type of appeal that can be taken, This appeal process
goes around the City Council and allows the Planning Commission to make the final decision.
He asked why this is. Mr. Fritsinger stated that the final appeal always goes to the City Council.
He noted that the language in the section might be related to the old Board of Appeals. He
suggested deleting the entire paragraph.
On page 2-21, Section 230 - Civil Defense, Councilrnember Larson stated that the note indicates
that the City may have forfeited its power to the County since committees have never been
established, He suggested that, rather than having all the boiler plate information included in the .
Code, which is geared more toward a war-fare situation than natural disaster, it should simply
authorize the Council to prepare a plan, as has been done, and refer to this plan.

Mr. Fritsinger agreed and noted that, with the adoption of the Emergency Management Plan,
Section 230 will be eliminated and the Plan will become an Appendix to the Code.
Councilmember Malone noted that on page 2-4, the first paragraph states "The first meeting of
the year shall be held on the second day of January..." He suggested that this should read, "The
first regular meeting..." Mr. Fritsinger agreed,
Councilmember Malone stated that on page 2-18, subparagraph 10, the last sentence should be
removed, On the same page, Section 220.05, the first sentence should state, "Fire Protection
services mav be..." Not shall be.
Mayor Probst stated that, on pages 2-1 and 2-3, Sections 200.01 and 210.01, it seemed strange
for these sections to indicate that elections shall begin with the 1974 and 1986 elections. Mr.
Fritsinger assumed that when this part of the Code was adopted it was prior to these dates.
Mayor Probst asked that the dates be removed and the wording be changed appropriately.
Councilmember Larson indicated that these Sections should state that the elections should be
held every even numbered year, without a starting date.
Mayor Probst asked if, on page 2-6, subparagraph 1, the word "seasonably" should be changed to
"reasonably." Councilmember Malone stated that the term "seasonably" is the correct term,
With regard to subparagraph 7 on page 2-6, Mayor Probst stated that he did not understand the
last sentence, It did not make sense to him to state that a minority may adjourn from day to day
to compel the attendance of absentees, Councilmember Malone noted that no one could compel
someone to attend a meeting.
Mr. Fritsinger noted that in another community the City Council took action to physically
remove one of the members from the Council who did not attend the meetings on a regular basis.
Councilmember Larson suggested that perhaps this subparagraph is indicating that there would
be a minority since there is not enough Councilmembers to constitute a quorum. Therefore a
minority can adjourn the meeting since a meeting cannot be held until there is a majority. Mayor
Probst stated that he would prefer to have this subparagraph reworded.
Councilmember Larson referred back to the Mayor's concern regarding the term "seasonably,"
He noted that this was an archaic term and suggested changing the word to "timely."
With regard to the note in paragraph two on page 2-15, Mayor Probst asked where the number 45
days came from and if this should be adjusted. Mr. Fritsinger stated that the 45 days is consistent
throughout the process. The note being referred to by the Mayor was regarding a question Mr.
Fritsinger had asked related to the recent change to 60 days in which the City is responsible for
addressing these issues. The League of Minnesota Cities had indicated that the 45 days was still
acceptable.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JUNE 28,1999

With regard to the note in Section 300.08 on page 3-3, Councilmember Malone stated that since
the City does not have a health officer, the Code should refer to the County Health Officer in all
places.
..j~
'~.
Mayor Probst asked Mr. Fritsinger to explain the notes on pages 3-6 and 3-7. Mr. Fritsinger
stated that most of the notes were based on questions staff had for the League of Minnesota
Cities, With regard to paragraph G on page 3-7, Mayor Probst noted that the City recently
passed a new Tobacco Ordinance.
With regard to the note in paragraph K on page 3-8, Councilmember Malone noted that the City
has a Mining Ordinance and stated that the reference to an Excavating Contractor could be
removed. Mr. Fritsinger agreed and noted that this reference had come from the re-write of the
City's original set of Ordinances, however, he could not find an Excavating Contractor listed in
the Code book. When he had asked the League of Minnesota Cities if this was something that
should be added, they had responded by indicating that they did not know where this reference
had come from either.
Councilmember Larson stated that on page 3-4, in the middle of the first paragraph, it states,
"...any officer or employee of the City..." It seemed to him that the City is often relying on other
people to do some of the inspections which would otherwise be done by the City. He suggested
that this statement indicate any officer of the City, or as otherwise appointed.
Councilmember Larson stated that on page 3-5 there was no difference between paragraphs C
and D. He felt that paragraph B covered the intent of paragraphs C and D.
.
On page 3-7, paragraph J, Councilmember Larson asked why heating, ventilating and air
conditioning and gas installer businesses were singled out as opposed to any other business, Mr,
Fritsinger stated that there is a different process required for the licensing of these items. Mayor
Probst asked why General Contractors was not included in this section. He thought perhaps this
was what paragraph K, Excavating contractor was referring to. Councilmember Malone asked if
the City provides licensing to General Contractors. Mr. Fritsinger stated that the City does
provide this licensing, He indicated that anyone who wants to do business within the community
must be licensed, He agreed that General Contractors should be included in this section and he
would speak with the League of Minnesota Cities on how to address this issue,
Mayor Probst asked if, on pages 3-8 and 3-9, paragraphs P and T should be removed since these
businesses have been zoned out of the City. Councilmember Larson asked ifit was likely that a
taxicab business would be started in the City of Arden Hills. Mr. Fritsinger explained that other
communities, such as Saint Louis Park, would license every taxicab that services the community.
The City of Arden Hills does not do this. Mayor Probst stated that the City would not want to
license taxicab services, as this would become a zoning issue.
With regard to page 3-9, paragraph V, Mayor Probst asked what a Rap Parlor is, Mr. Fritsinger
stated that a Rap Parlor falls into a similar category as a Massage Parlor. Councilmember Larson .
noted that the term "Rap Parlor" comes from the 1960's and 1970's, Mayor Probst asked if the
Adult Zoning Ordinance supersedes this section ofthe Code. Mr. Fritsinger stated that it does.

With regard to the note on page 3-11, Councilmember Malone stated that it would be acceptable
to provide for the penalty in the fee schedule adopted by reference.
With regard to page 3-13, Section 320,09, subparagraph C, Councilmember Malone noted that
licenses for garage sales are to ensure that these sales are not held everyday. Mr. Fritsinger
indicated that he had asked what the rationale behind this license requirement was. It serves no
practical purpose other than; there have been cases in other communities where residents try to
have garage sales everyday, Staff had agreed to continue with this license requirement for the
purpose of paper tracking, He noted that the City does not charge a fee for this license.
Councilmember Larson asked if it might be better to simply include a statement, which limits the
amount of time, a garage sale can go on, rather than licensing. Mr. Fritsinger stated that Section
320.11 does state how long and how many garage sales can be conducted by a homeowner
within one year.
Councilmember Larson asked if outdoor concerts should be included in the activity list on page
3-14. Mr. Fritsinger stated that, historically, the City Council has wanted to approve all events.
Over time, some events were not ones, which have been forwarded to the CounciL He asked the
Council how they felt about this. CounciImember Malone stated that the current process works
well.
Mr. Fritsinger stated that staff needs to figure out how to deal with the approvals of fIea markets
and sidewalk sales. These types of sales do not occur often in the City of Arden Hills. However,
at times at the Arden Plaza merchants will display items outside on the sidewalk. These
activities have never been brought before the City Council for approval in the past. Mr.
Fritsinger indicated that staff had interpreted this reference as a larger fIea market, which would
be held in such a place as a hotel parking lot.
Councilmember Larson expressed his belief that outdoor concerts should be included in the
activity list. Mr. Fritsinger confirmed that outdoor concerts should be brought to the City
Council for approval. Mayor Probst concurred.
Mr. Fritsinger stated that there have been several road races held by the North Heights Lutheran
Church. These activities have not historically been brought before the Council for approval
either.
Councilmember Larson stated that he would be willing to leave the granting of these permits up
to the staff. However, the City Council would like to know if any complaints are made regarding
the races. Mayor Probst noted that most of these permit approvals are accomplished by the
Consent Calendar, primarily so that the Council is aware of the events.
Couneilmember Larson asked if the reference to commercial sidewalk sales needs to remain
listed in the activity list. Mr, Fritsinger stated that it might be best to leave the sidewalk sales
listed in case the businesses along County Road E decided that they wanted to use the sidewalk
for sales.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JUNE 2S, 1999

Mayor Probst noted that pages 3-16 through 3-36 gets into a great deal of detail regarding coin
operated amusement devices. He felt that it seemed to be to a level of detail, which may not be
necessary. The primary point of the information is that no one under the age of 16 is allowed to
enter or remain upon the premises of an amusement arcade after 9:30 p.m. without an adult. Mr.
Fritsinger pointed out that this corresponds to the 9:00 p.m. City curfew, which extends to 15 and
16 year olds. Mr. Fritsinger noted that there is currently a court case pending related to this
industry trying to put the cities on the spot as to the fees they charge and what the purpose of the
fees are. The outcome of this case may effect how this section of the Code lays out.
Couneilmember Malone noted that Arden Hills had once been a resort community and this
section of the Code may be related to boardwalk activities,
-
,.~-
Councilmember Larson noted that on page 3-33, subdivision S states "If the provisions of the
Minnesota Lawful Gambling Act and this Section are inconsistent, the more restrictive
provisions shall apply." He indicated that this is inconsistent with subdivision 2 on page 3-31.
Mayor Probst noted that on page 3-33, subdivision 9, first line, the word Council is not spelled
correctly. Additionally, on the top of page 3-34, the effective date should be removed.
Mayor Probst expressed concern for the amount of detail provided in the information in
subparagraph lIon page 3-61. Mr. Fritsinger stated that this information is regarding massage
parlors. Mayor Probst asked ifit was necessary to list the requirement of having a janitor's
closet, Mr. Fritsinger stated that this requirement was necessary. .
With regard to subparagraph SA, circumstance number one, Councilmember Larson asked if
there would be any massage parlor or sauna businesses within the City, which would not be
within a Zoning District. Mr. Fritsinger stated that initially, Zoning Districts R-B and G-B were
specific districts, which allowed these types of businesses. The current Ordinance does not have
these definitions.
Councilmember Larson asked if this information should state "within the City, as located in the
Zoning District as a permitted use." Mr. Fritsinger noted that it states prior to this information
that no license shall be issued unless the following circumstances exist. Councilmember
Aplikowski stated that there are certain Zoning Districts, which are, designated for certain uses.
With regard to page 3-55, paragraph 1, Councilmember Larson asked if the City is required to
hold a public hearing for every business license application. Mr. Fritsinger stated that this
information is regarding massage parlors and these do require a public hearing.
In relation to this section of the Code, Mr. Fritsinger stated that one issue, which keeps coming
up, is regarding a massage therapist. He has been unable to find another city Ordinance that
deals with this issue.
Mayor Probst confirmed that all the information presented in the Ordinance is required, even
with the Adult Use Ordinance in place. Mr. Fritsinger stated that it is necessary.
Councilmember Aplikowski noted that she has two friends who are nuns as well as message
.

therapists. She indicated that these women are moving outside the metro area because they
cannot get licensed,
With regard to the note on page 4-2, Mayor Probst stated that he agreed that subdivision 3 should
read "over two dogs" rather than "up to three." Mr. Fritsinger expressed his belief that the
subdivisions makes sense as it was written. He indicated that a residential kennel could have up
to three dogs, Mayor Probst asked if the issue of the number of dogs has become a problem
within the City. Mr. Fritsinger stated that there is a resident who takes in injured and abused
dogs and there are others who are breeding pairs and have more than three dogs that are not
licensed.
Mayor Probst referred to page 4-5, subdivision 2B, and asked if the word "Administrator" should
be removed and have this sentence state, "...upon application to the City, and." Mr. Fritsinger
stated that in later chapters there are specific references to individuals that would make certain
decisions.
Mayor Probst asked Mr. Fritsinger ifhe personally issues the dog licenses and metal tags. Mr.
Fritsinger stated that he does not personally do the issuing, this is delegated to another employee.
Councilmember Aplikowski suggested the statement read, "...to the Office of the City
Administrator..." Councilmember Larson suggested this may need to be looked at by the City
Attorney, whether the Code should only identify a specific position within City government
when it is absolutely necessary to do so. Otherwise references should be made only generically
to the City,
Councilmember Larson asked if most people who have pets come in for licensing and then never
renew them, or are most people good about renewing them. Mr. Fritsinger stated that the City
consistently sends out reminder notices. Councilmember Larson asked if, when dog licenses are
renewed, the owners provide rabies certifications. Mr. Fritsinger stated that they do.
With regard to page 4-2, subparagraph 5, Councilmember Malone noted that some pet owners
purchase radio collars for their dogs and are therefore not physically restrained. He indicated
that this situation would not fall under the category of a dog at large.
Councilmember Larson stated that on page 4-10 the definition for a howling dog states that it
would be deemed a nuisance if the dog is making the noise for at least five minutes with less than
a one minute lapse during that five minutes. He indicated that he lived next to a dog that was a
habitual barker. It made no difference if there was one or two minutes lapse, as long it was
occurring over a long period of time. Mr. Fritsinger stated that this language was based upon
court cases in which the City must go out and document what is actually happening, so there is a
basis. Councilmember Larson stated that he was not arguing the basis, he was arguing whether
the less than one-minute lapse time was appropriate, Mr. Fritsinger stated that he would have to
speak to the Animal Control Officer who had recommended this specific language to the City.
Councilmember Larson suggested removing the statement "with less than a one minute lapse
during that five minutes..."
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JUNE 28, 1999

With regard to subparagraph 410.02 on page 4-10, Councilmember Aplikowski asked if the
reference to a public place includes driveways, Mr. Ringwald stated that this would be
considered trespassing. Councilmember Aplikowski asked if owners allowing their dogs to do
their business in private driveways are what most complaints are about, Mr. Fritsinger stated that
most complaints are regarding feces in parks and trails.
Mayor Probst confirmed that Chapters 5 through 8 were scheduled to be presented to the City
Council at its next regular meeting. Mr. Fritsinger stated that this was correct, Councilmember
Larson requested that only three chapters be presented at the next meeting, Mr. Fritsinger
concurred.
ADMINISTRATOR COMMENTS
Mr. Fritsinger stated that the vandalism in the parks has continued, The same sort of damage is
being done to porta-potties and appears to be done by the same individual. Staff is working with
the Sheriff Department to put a stop to this vandalism.
Mr. Fritsinger stated that he had spoken to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources
regarding the utilization of the grant funds for the County Road F trail. He had been informed
that this would be too significant of a change from the intent of the grant and the transfer of the
funds would not be allowed, He will be sending a letter this week informing the Minnesota
Department of Natural Resources that the grant funds will not be utilized.
Mr. Fritsinger stated that the cable TV system is having a great deal of problems with the change
over to Media One. The new lines being installed are having reception problems. The Cable
Commission is trying to get Media One to pick up their level of service. The latest response
from Media One was that new converter boxes are needed. The replacement of all the lines and
repairing and upgrading the system was not so much for improved quality, as it was to simply
update the system and make it work. Councilmember Malone noted that his reception has been
better lately with the exception of channel four and 11. Mr. Fritsinger agreed that the primary
stations are having the worst reception.
Mr. Fritsinger stated that he spoke with the Army National Guard regarding the on going transfer
of the Arsenal property, Staff is working on some legal description changes to the site plan. He
will be meeting with Mr. Brown and Mr. Ringwald to further define these changes, A site survey
had been accomplished with a legal description. The language in the bill refers to four acres and
the legal description was short of this. Questions have arisen as to whether or not the Army
National Guard owns property out the centerline of the highway.
COUNCIL COMMENTS
Mayor Probst stated that he had been interested in Mr. Ringwald's report regarding the City of
Roseville's new setback permit which is intended to eliminate the hardship finding required for a
variance, He suggested that the City should pursue this idea, as well as the This Old House

Legislation. He asked that staff include this information in the Newsletter in order to make
residents aware of these opportunities.
With regard to Mr. Moore's report referencing vandalism, Mayor Probst noted that, since the
time Ramsey County initiated the County Watch Program, the City's vandalism problem has
gotten worse. Mr. Fritsinger stated that in Valentine Hills the Police received a number of leads,
which is the intention of the County Watch Program.

service of collecting the City's costs for recycling by adding those assessable costs to the
property tax statement on a separate line labeled, "City Recycling." The City, at that time,
entered into a JP A with the County to use this service, which is authorized under State Statutes,
That JPA, executed in 1991, expired in 1994. A renewal agreement was then drafted that
expired on June 30, 1999. Ramsey County now requests that the City enter into a new JP A if the
City wishes to have the County continue collection of the recycling costs for the City.
New JPA
The five year renewed JPA would be effective from July I, 1999 to June 30,2004. Either party
may cancel the agreement at their discretion following a one-hundred-eighty (180) day written
notice to the other party.
Costs
The original fee charged by the County for the collection service was $.12 per parcel, per year.
This fee remained the same until July I, 1999. The County has now raised their collection fee to
$.40 per parcel per year beginning in the 1999/2000 year, under the new JP A.
The County has indicated this is a more realistic figure on their actual costs for the data
processing service.
This $.40 service fee is then added to the approximate $22.00 per year recyclable collection costs
charged by the City, which will result in a cost per parcel ofless than $23.00 per year. All
except the $.40 service fee is refunded to the City to help pay for the recycling service. These
monies, plus approximately $19,500 provided to the City by the County in what is called a
"SCORE" grant, pay 100% of the City's recycling costs,

recommend Council adopt Resolution No. 99-20, supporting a JPA between the City of Arden
Hills and Ramsey County regarding County collection of recycling fees for the City. The
recommendation is subject to the City Attorney reviewing the agreement and making any minor
non-substantial changes as necessary.

SUBJECT:
Back1!round
The City Council recently directed the City Administrator to contact Toltz, King, Duvall,
Anderson and Associates, Inc. (TKDA) to discuss the undertaking of a space planning study for
the proposed maintenance facility. TKDA has been working with Ramsey County on the space
planning study for their proposed maintenance facility.
Attached, the City Council will find a proposal from TKDA to work with the City on this
project. The proposal explains the broader framework for completing the study, This includes:
. Number of meetings/questionnaires
. Ten (10) year space needs projections
. Schematic site and facility plan
. Cost estimate for such facility
The study will be completed on an hourly basis at a cost not-to exceed $8,500. The study will be
completed within ten (10) weeks. The study does not take into consideration any combined
joint-use facility issues. Those would be considered as part of later studies with Ramsey County
and other potential participants.
Recommendation
Staff would recommend that the City Council authorize the execution of an agreement with
TKDA for the space planning study for the proposed Public Works/Parks Maintenance facility,
in an amount not to exceed $8,500.

Dear City Administrator/City Engineer:
Re: Replacement of the County Public Works Facility
Over the past several years, Ramsey County Public Works has been discussing the
replacement of our facility on Rice Street in Shoreview. We have actively pursued the
concept of a joint use facility located,in the Twin City Arms and Ammunition Plant
(TCMP) in Arden Hills. You have, at one point in time, indicated you may have an
interest in entering into a partnership agreement for shared use of this joint facility,
e
We continue to pursue the acquisition via a lease arrangement with the Minnesota
National Guard. Our current plan for development of the facility is joint use with the
Guard and, most likely, Arden Hills. Throughout the process, we have intended to make
accommodations for other partners provided their use is in concert and of the same
quality as that proposed by the base partners, The Guard, Arden Hills and Ramsey
County Public Works. Our current schedule is to have the Guard/Army lease finalized
by mid-summer.
The Ramsey County Commissioners have authorized our department to contract for
architectural services that will assist us in determining the space requirements
necessary for our functions. This "Space Needs Assessment" is necessary to accurately
pin down the cost for the project and will allow us to accurately describe our needs when
we come to the table with the Guard. We feel that by doing this independently we will be
in a better position to look at opportunities to share space.
The space needs assessment study will be done for the County by TKDA and Assoc.
They were chosen through a RFP process approved by the Board. The contract utilizes
an analysis of our current functions, compares the desires of staff with known
established standards and provides a concept floor plan and cost estimate. The
assessment will be valuable to us whether the County participates in the joint facility
construction or chooses to build a separate facility should the TCMP arrangement not
materialize,
e
If you are still interested in participating in the Joint Facility development project located
at TCMP, I would urge your agency to begin a similar process. The TKDA contract is
available to you and the enclosure describes the work performed by them. I understand
the unknowns of the TCMP arrangement makes this type of study a risk but if you are
facing a space dilemma it may be worth the effort.

WORKS COPE FOR SPACE NEEDS ASSESSMENT PROGRAM
Ramsev Countv Public Works Department
Proiect Objectives:
> Determine the size and physical requirements for a building that will satisfy the facility needs for the
Ramsey County Public Works Department now and into the future.
,.. Identify the area of a site required to fulfiJl the needs of the facility.
> Determine the probable construction costs for a facility and related site improvements.
l\Iethodolol!v:
Over the years, TKDA has accumulated a strong background and has gathered base line information on
many Public Works and Maintenance facilities. Given the seemingly infinite number of methods of
operating Public Works departments and facilities, we find it imperative to work with the emolovees to
develop the program and space needs analysis which will reflect their own specific operation methodology.
In order to accomplish the objectives listed above, we will perform the following tasks for this Project:
> Prepare a questionnaire/checklist for each of the user groups. This questionnaire will request pertinent
information on methods of operation, staffing, space needs, and operational relationships, These
questionnaires will be given to each user group before meeting with them.
> Meet individually with the staff of each group to complete the questionnaire/checklist, and discuss their
operational activities and space needs. This meeting will review current space usage, needed space
requirements, work methodology and special needs,
,.. TKDA will then collate all the information; prepare a program reflecting the preliminary square foot
needs, amenities and site requirements. Included will be proximity and relationship diagrams.
> Meet with the staff to review and revise the program.
;;.. TKDA will then prepare a schematic site plan and facility plan to illustrate the area required based on
the space program.
;;.. Meet with staff to review the schematics and revised program data,
;;.. Prepare a probable construction cost for the facility.
> Prepare and present a draft repon documenting the process, the information gathered, and the
recommendations.
;;.. Make revisions based on the draft repon, review and present the final Study to Management.
Deliverable:
The Space Needs Assessment repon will serve as the basis for the design of new facilities. It will
incorporate the information needed for a consultant to work with the Ramsey County Public Works
Depanment on the next step of design and implementation of the project.

MEMORANDUM
DATE:
July 7, 1999
TO:
Mayor and City Council ~)\
Brian Fritsinger, City AdministratJ~
Codification, Chapters 5 - 7
FROM:
SUBJECT:
Requested Action
The City Council is asked to review the proposed changes to the Arden Hills Municipal Code,
Chapters 5 - 7, and prepare for any discussion at the July 12, 1999 regular Council meeting.
Staff will be forwarding this information to the League of Minnesota Cities (LMC) who will then
prepare a final draft for adoption by the City Council.
Backeround
The City Council reviewed Chapters I - 4 at its June 28, 1999 regular Council meeting. Staff
has since forwarded all comments on these chapters to the LMC.
As the City Council reviews the chapters, please understand that the "notes' provided by LMC
staff are not all questions. Some of these notes are simple clarifications or responses to previous
questions by City staff. The following issues highlighted by staff are those that require the
greatest attention.
Chanter 5 - Alcoholic Beveraees
This is from former Chapter 3 of the Arden Hills Code.
Section 500.02, Subd. 3
In order to assist with possible problems with exotic dance clubs, I have added language
on nudity.
Scction 510.01, Subd. 2, (C)
Language has been added to our On-Sale Wine License to allow for the sale of strong
beer. (The City Council did adopt this language within the past year.)
Section 510.01, Subd. 3, (B)
Language amended to allow micro breweries as desired by City Council.
Section 510.01, Subd. 3, (C)
The Council should clarify its desire on this question.
~

Memorandum, Codification, Chapters 5 - 7

July 7,1999
e
Section 510.01, Subd. 7, (C), 2
Language deleted to allow for annual payments rather than quarterly. The City actually
began enforcing annual payments in 1999.
Section 510.01, Subd. 8
With the change to annual payments, the City Council may wish to eliminate the need for
Bonds. The City, in the past, has collected on these bonds for nonpayment by licensee.
Section 510.01, Subd. 16
This subdivision is inconsistent with Section 520,01, Subd. 12, Staff will work with the
LMC to have language consistent.
Section 510.08, Subd. 1
New language refers to State Statute.
Section 520.01, Suhd. 12
The LMC recommends a change from 8 to 10 days.
Chapter 6 - Nuisances and Offenses .
The City Council has not provided any feedback to staff on the language included in this chapter
of the revised code. Minor language changes are made throughout the chapter. In general, the
topics in this chapter are those about which the City receives most of its complaints,
Staff has tried to revise the language in order to assist with response to those phone calls. This is
former Chapters 2.5, 10, II, 16 and 17. Changes proposed, or issues to consider, are as follows:
Section 600.02, A, 1
I've inquired as to moving this portion of the chapter to another location for easier
finding and reading.
Section 600.02, D
Note change from two (2) years to one (1) year
Section 600.02, L & M
Note the new additions to the code.
Section 600.03
A section has been added to assist with safety issues, such as unshoveled sidewalks,
obstructions, etc.

July 7, 1999
Section 600.06
I had inquired as to language strengthening our abatement process. The language from
St. Peter, with some possible fine-tuning, addresses my concerns.
Section 620.04
This has been deleted, as State Law does not allow it. The League has also included
sample language from the cities of Big Lake and Greenfield on abandoned property.
Staff would recommend that the Abandoned Vehicle/Abandoned property be rewritten
based upon the Big Lake language.
Section 630.02
The City Council needs to review this section for consistency. Ramsey County did not
adopt a curfew ordinance several years ago, as it had indicated it would. As a result, our
ordinance is fairly consistent with other Ramsey County communities.
Section 630.04
The City Council has historically discussed, from time to time, changes to this section.
However, the Public Safety and other committees, have recommended against changes.
Section 630.05, Subd. 5
Staff would recommend putting this on the fee schedule.
Section 630.05, Subd. 6
Staff would recommend that the City Administrator be the appropriate party for the
appeal.
Section 630.05, Subd. 8
The City does not follow this. Staff would recommend deletion.
Chanter 7 - Lakes. Trees. Parks
This chapter now consists of consolidated Chapters 4, 12 and 27 of the current code.
Section 700 - Lakes
While Section 700 indicates "Lakes", it really only applies to Lake Johanna. The recently
adopted ordinance on Lake Josephine will need to be incorporated. In addition to the
items below, the City Council should consider whether or not the City needs any
regulations for its other lakes.
Section 700.04 & 700.06, Subd. 1
These two sections refer to the placement of buoys on Lake Johanna. I'm not
familiar with this practice being done. "

e
Section 700.06, Subd. 2
The Council has had conversation regarding potentially changing the speed limit.
Section 700.06, Subd. 4
The Council has had conversation regarding a change in hours.
Section 710 - Trees and Vegetation
Section 710
Does the City want to allow boulevard trees within the right-of-way?
Section 710.07
Should this be broadened to indicate that the owner is responsible as a result of
any damage from storms and other acts of God or accidents?
Section 720, Arden Hills Parks System
Section 720.05, Subd. 5
Does the City wish to allow horses on roads or other trails?
e
Section 720.05, Subd. 9
Does the Council have any interest in banning snowmobile operations in the City
Limits?
Section 720.06, Subd. 8
The City Council should specifY a specific distance to be able to defense this
item.
The Council has had discussions regarding the disposal of open space sites. The
City Council may wish to add language to address this issue. A sample would be:
Property that has been acquired by the City, by any means, as recreational
or open space sites shall not be directed to other uses or disposed of by the
City, except in the following manner:
A.
B.
C.
D.

requirements. The Statutes are equally vague as to whether the club must exist in
the city or just be in existence somewhere for the stated period of time. The statutes

somewhere and that the existence is verifiable. The city, however, could specifY the
requirement to mean that the club must exist within the city limits.
E. "Sunday on-sale" licenses shall be issued only to on-sale licensees which have

liquor establishments within the City imposes substantial additional responsibilities
and burdens, both immediate and potential, on the City with respect to conducting
background and financial investigations of the applicant, policing and supervising
of the establishments and the traffic that comes into the City for the purpose of
patronizing the establishments. The Council has further considered that the
operation of the establishments may well become a nuisance, and the license fees
therefor should be set with this factor in mind, as well as the factors of
administrative expense and items of City expense such as police investigation,
supervision, fIre protection, road maintenance and the like. The Council has further
determined that there is a defInite relationship between the burdens, responsibilities
and risks of the City with respect to the on sale liquor establishments and the area
in the establishments which is utilized for the sale and consumption of liquor.

contain:
A. An order to abate the nuisance or to request a hearing within a stated time which
shall be reasonable under the circumstances.
B. The location of the nuisance if the nuisance is stationary.
C. A description of what constitutes the nuisance.
D. A statement of acts necessary to abate the nuisance.
E. A statement that if the nuisance is not abated as directed and no request for a hearing
is made within the prescribed time, the City will abate the nuisance and assess the cost
of the abatement against the person.
Subd. 2 Manner of Service. The notice to abate a nuisance shall be served as any other
legal process may be served pursuant to law. Nml:: If city wishes to specify personal or
mailed notice in 600.01, consistency should be used. This section would be adequate and
600.01 could be changed.
600.05 Abatement by City. Upon the failure of the person upon whom notice to abate a nuisance
was served pursuant to the provisions of this Chapter, to abate the nuisance or to request a
6-9

Chapter 6 Nuisances and Offenses
hearing, the health offIcer or other duly designated offIcer of the City shall proceed to abate the
nuisance and shall prepare a statement of costs incurred in the abatement thereof.
600.06 City's Costs, Declared Lien. Any and all costs incurred by the City in the abatement of
a nuisance under the provisions of this Chapter shall constitute a lien against the property upon
which the nuisance existed, which lien shall be fIled, proven and collected as provided for by law.
Such lien shall be notice to all persons from the time of its recording and shall bear interest at the
legal rate thereafter until satisfIed.
:rs!lli:: City provided an alternative abatement process that appears rather complex and may not
address all situations. Attached is a copy of an alternative plan from the City of St. Peter. We
should discuss this issue further to determine exactly what the city is looking for.
Section 610 - Abandoned Property'
610.01 Disposal Generally. All property, other than motor vehicles, lawfully coming into the
possession of the City shall be disposed of as provided in this Section.
610.02 Storage. The department of the City acquiring possession of the property shall arrange
for its storage. If City facilities for storage are unavailable or inadequate, the department may ar-

A. The name and address of the applicant;

City of Arden Hills
Chapter 7 Lakes, Trees, Parks
Subd. 5 Factors to Be Considered. In considering the applications for permits the City
Forester, Board of Appeals, and Council shall consider the size and type of the proposed tree
in relation to other boulevard trees in the City. In general one species of tree should not
constitute more than one-half of the boulevard trees in the City, and in anyone block,
including both sides of the street, there should be a minimum of two (2) species and a
maximum of three (3) species of boulevard trees. In permitting varieties of species to be
planted consideration should be given to the desirability that the species conform as to size
upon maturity. To the greatest extent possible, planting should be permitted in units of one
block at a time. Nok: The City had notes on this subdivision that did not copy legibly. It
appears that there is some question as to who currently considers these types of applications
and who should, particularly concerning the involvement of the Board of Appeals. It appears
that the Board of appeals refers to the Board of Appeals and Adjustments as provided in the
zoning chapter. This Board would not need to be involved as this is not a zoning issue. The
City can set forth its own process so the Park and Recreation Committee, or the Director of
Parks and Recreation, etc. could be designated.
Subd. 6 Issuance, Denial. If an application for a permit required by this Section and the
proposed location are approved by the City Forester, the City Administrator shall issue the
permit on forms provided for that purpose. If the application is disapproved, the City
Administrator shall notify the applicant, in writing, of the denial and the reasons therefor.

Section may appeal any denial thereof to the City Council by notifying the City
Administrator, in writing, of his or her request within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice
of the denial. The application shall then be referred to the board of appeals ( Note: See note
for subd. 5), which shall consider the application at its next scheduled meeting and report
its recommendation thereon to the Council. If the applicant includes in his or her request to
the City Administrator, his or her desire for a hearing on the matter, the hearing shall be held
before the board of appeals. After consideration of the recommendation of the board of
appeals, the Council shall affIrm or reverse the action of the City Administrator.
Subd. 8 Liability for Maintenance. All permits granted under this Section shall provide that
the granting of the permit places no obligation upon the City nor does it impose upon the City
any requirement for maintenance of the trees. Any trees planted on a public street or other
public property are placed thereon entirely at the risk of the planter and any trees so planted
may be removed, trimmed, maintained, moved, or otherwise changed at any time by order
of the Council. In the event that removal of the trees or maintenance of the trees is considered
necessary by the Council and is done at City expense the cost thereof may be assessed against
the property owner or the abutting property owner. All trees planted under the permits
become public property when the planting is completed.

Subd. 1 Declaration of Policy. The City Council has determined that the health of oak trees
and elm trees, hereinafter sometimes collectively referred to as "shade trees," within the
municipal limits are threatened by fatal tree diseases commonly known as "oak wilt disease"
and "Dutch elm disease" respectively, hereinafter sometimes collectively referred to as "shade
tree diseases." It has further determined that the loss of shade trees growing upon public and
private property would substantially depreciate the value of property within the City and
impair the safety, good order, general welfare and convenience of the public. Accordingly,
it is hereby declared to be the intention of the Council to control and prevent the spread of
shade tree diseases, and this Subsection is enacted for that purpose.

to have removed any diseased shade tree or wood as speCifIed in written notice given pursuant
to the provisions of this Subsection, the person has allowed the tree or weed to remain on his
or her property, or has allowed the parts or brush therefrom to remain on his or her property,
shall constitute a separate violation.
Subd. 3 Forester. The position of City Forester is hereby contiriued and the powers and
duties of the officer are hereby conferred upon the person as designated from time to time by
the mayor with the concurrence of the Council. It shall be the duty of the Forester to

in the performance of duties imposed by this Subsection.
Subd. 5 Nuisances Declared. The following are hereby declared to be public nuisances
whenever and wherever they may be found within the City:
A. Any living or standing elm tree or part thereof infected to any degree with the Dutch
elm disease fungus Ceratocystis Ulmi (Buisman) Moreau or which harbors any of the elm
bark beetles Scolytus Multistriatus (Marsham) or Hylurgopinus RufIpes (Eichhoff);

It shall be unlawful for any person to permit any public nuisance, as herein defIned, to remain
on any premises owned or controlled by him or her within the City. Such nuisances may be
abated in the manner prescribed by this Subsection.
Subd. 6 Inspection by Certified Tree Inspector.
A. The Forester shall engage one or more persons, each of whom shall have been issued
a certifIcate from the Minnesota Department of Agriculture pursuant to M.S. Section
18.023, Subdivision 5, as amended, certifying that he or she is a qualifIed !:f~~
Tree Inspector, for the purposes of inspecting any public or private properties, upon
prior notifIcation, to detect shade trees harboring shade tree diseases, which inspector(s)
shall act as the duly authorized agent(s) of the Forester. Nothing herein shall preclude

within the City as often as is practicable and at least twice each year-before June 1 of

attorney about the need for a proper warrant.
Subd. 7 Notices to Property Owners. After each inspection and investigation, whenever
the Forester or the Tree Inspector(s) has found with a reasonable certainty that a shade tree
or any wood therefrom harbors shade tree disease to such an extent that the same constitutes
a threat of infestation of shade trees in proximity thereto, the Forester shall mark the diseased
shade trees or wood or both as the case may be in a visible manner and notify each owner of
7 - 13

real estate within the City whereon the diseased shade trees or wood, or both as the. case may
be, are located, which notice shall contain the inspection information with respect to diseased
shade trees upon the property and shall further advise that, in accordance with the provisions
of this Subsection, the owner is required to remove the trees or wood, or both as the case
may be, within a time specifIed in the notice, which shall be not less than fIve (S) days nor
more than twenty (20) days from the date of mailing thereof the notices shall be sent by
certifIed mail with return receipt requested to the last known address of the owner. In the

has an address different from the subject premises and the address is disclosed by the records
of the county department of property taxation. Reasonable inquiry by the Forester or the Tree
Inspector(s) shall be suffIcient to meet this requirement, and telephone inquiry of the office
of the county department of property taxation shall be deemed reasonable inquiry for the
purpose of ascertaining the addresses. If the subject premises are unoccupied, then mailing
to the address of the owner as shown by the records of the county department of property
taxation shall be deemed sufficient.
