The appearance of the generator would be similar to that of the NSP transfOImer located in the same area.

CITY OF ARDEN HILLS MEMORANDUM DATE: September 10, 1999 TO: Mayor and City CounciImembers Terrance R. Post, Interim City Administrato@ Payable 2000 City Tax Rate FROM: SUBJECT: Backl!:round In addition to the continuation of levy limitations certified by the Minnesota Department of Revenue, the Minnesota Legislature also enacted during the 1999 legislative session a new public hearing and resolution requirement for cities that will have a tax rate increase. This new statute also requires the County Auditor to certifY a tax rate and the components for determining the tax rate to the governing body of the city. If the governing body expects their proposed levy to result in a tax rate greater than the rate certified by the County Auditor, they must hold a public hearing, pass a resolution authorizing a tax rate increase, and file the resolution with the County Auditor no later than October 20, 1999. The resolution does not have to state what the tax rate increase would be; it must only affirm that the rate will increase. . Tax Rate Calculations Tax rate worksheet schedules (attached) provided by Ramsey County and completed by staff indicate that the levy required to support proposed 2000 General Fund expenditures will require an increase higher than that calculated by the County net levy certification. Recommendation Staff recommends that the City Cowlcil approve Resolution #99-28, "Authorizing a Tax Rate Increase for the 1999 Tax Levy, Payable in 2000." . . . .

A governing body can also have a lower tax rate for payable 2000 taxes than for payable 1999 taxes and still have a "tax rate increase." The formula starts with the certified tax levy for 1999 for the governing body. This number represents the 1999 gross net tax capacity based levy plus any referendum market value based levies (if applicable) less 1999 HACA aid. . The 1999 certified levy is reduced by the portion of the levy pledged for payment of general obligation bonds_ Per definitions supplied by the Minnesota Department of Revenue, General obligation bonds includes regular G.O, bonds as well as G_O_ special assessment and G.O. revenue bonds that rElCluire a property tax le,vy for funding of the bond issue. G.O, bonds do not include: capital notes, certificates of indebtedness, certificates of participation, state armory construction bonds or payments made on bonds of another political subdivision. . The 1999 non-debt levy is further reduced by the payable 2000 fiscal disparity distribution dollars_ It is also reduced for any increases in payable 2000 HACA aid due to class rate or fiScal disparity changes under the HACA formula: The net result of this' calculation is the net levy that will be used by the county a,uditor to determine the tax rate under this statute. This net levy appears on line 9 of the "County Auditor's Determination of a Levy Certification Tax Rate" form. A form for determining a comparable non-debt levy for ;WOO is included in this packet and titled "Payable 2000 Non-debt Levy Determinatiol'1: If line 5 of this form is greater than line 9 ofthe "County Auditor's Determination of a Levy Certification Tall: ~ate" form, the governing body will need to pass'a tax rate inc;rease resolution or reduce the proposed taJ[ levy by the difference between these nuro,bers. The tax rate that will be Clartlfied by October 1 will be determined by dividing the 1999 adjust$ld net levy on line 9 of the county auditor's determination by the most recent payable 2000 net tax capacity (tax base) for the governing body_ Even though the statute requires certification of the tax rate, technically it is not needec! to determine that a tax rate increase will occur under this statute. . 'Public Hearing" Definition . The statute provides that "public hearing" as used here, "includes, but is not limited to, regularly scheduled city Cl?uncil hearings .and county board meetings: The "hearing" can be handled as an agenda item for regulirly scheduled meetings. No published notice is required for the ~earin!il unless it will be covered at a special meeting specifically for that purpose. . A tax rate increase resolution can be sent to the county auditor along with the , . . certification of proposed tax levy for 2000.

Implementation of Phase II of TCAAP planning originally planned to be completed in 1999 but not yet begun, currently has no planned 2000 expenditures to begin the project. Major capital budget items in the Enterprise Funds include the completion of a residential water replacement program in the water utility ($225,000), the continuation of the multi-year sewer line rehabilitation project ($125,000) and purchase of a replacement backhoe ($90,000) with costs shared between the street maintenance department, water and sanitary sewer utilities. Unresolved 2000 Budl!etarv Issues I. Determining a definite scope for the 2000 PMP, including the incorporation of various recommendations by the City Engineer including street re-rating methodology, neighborhood approach, and reconstruction/overlay undertaken on two (2) year cycles. 2.

DRAFT MINUTES CITY OF ARDEN illLLS, MINNESOTA CITY COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 30, 1999 7:30 P.M. - ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS CALL TO ORDERlROLL CALL Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, Mayor Dennis Probst called to order the regular City Council meeting at 7:30 p.m. Present: Mayor Dennis Probst, Councilmembers Beverly Aplikowski, Gregg Larson, Paul Malone, and Lois Rem. Absent: None Also present were Public Works Director, Dwayne Stafford; Interim City Administrator, Terrance Post; Associate Planner, Nancy Randall; Thomas J. Moore, Parks and Recreation Director; and Recording Secretary, Lori Rolfson. ADOPT AGENDA MOTION: Councilmember Aplikowski moved and Councilmember Larson seconded a motion to adopt the agenda for the August 30, 1999, regular City Council meeting. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). SUMP PUMP INSPECTIONS A. Informational Public Meeting B. Ordinance #314, Sump Pumps Mr. Stafford explained that the City Council discussed the proposed ordinance change recommendation at its August 9, 1999 meeting. The Public Works Department believes that there are prohibited sump pump connections to the City sanitary sewer lines. These connections cause problems for the Public Works Department, as well as higher residential utility bills for sewer treatment. As directed by the City Council, staff published notice in the City's official newspaper of the informational meeting this evening. Mr. Stafford presented slides eXplaining the operation and installation of a residential sump pump. Slide #1 explained the basement excavation process to prepare for a sump pump installation. The basement of a home is excavated to a point below the footings and the space is typically filled in with sand. When heavy rains occur, the run-off becomes trapped in the sand area and can leak into the basement of the home. To prevent the water leaking into the basement, many contractors will install drain tile outside the footings, and the water is directed into a sump pump. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - AUGUST 30, 1999 f:"\ Ld' :::-c Ii I 2 . Slide #2 presented a monthly flow comparison of sewage entering the MCES sewer systern. Following heavy rains there is a spike in the monthly flow of sewage into their sewer lines. e Some of the flow is infiltration into the system through leaky pipes and manholes. Televising is being accomplished yearly by the Public Works Department to identifY this infiltration. However, much of the flow is believed to be from residential sump pump connections. This results in the sewer lines being taxed to capacity and clean water being unnecessarily trea1ed. Water treatment is paid for by the gallon and consequently, the more clean water that runs through the system, the more the City and residents must pay for treatment. Slide #3 depicted a prohibited sump pump connection. In this scenario, the sump pump drain is connected directly to the home's sewer pipes, such as the bathroom, laundry or kitchen sink., or through floor drain, rather than plumbing to the outside ofthe house. The contractors who install sump pumps are not as concerned about where the water drains as they are about ensuring a dry basement. Slide #4 depicted a proper sump pump connection. In this scenario, the discharge pipe is run under the floor joists to the outside the wall. When the water is directed outside, it is important that the line extend beyond the basement excavation area to ensure that the water is not circulating back to the sump pump. The proper connection of a sump pump is relatively simple and the materials are inexpensive. Mr. Stafford stated that the sump pump inspections would be accomplished as part of the water meter replacement project, beginning later this year. The intent is not to harass residents for . having a prohibited connection. Many residents do not realize that their connections are illegal and the intent is to bring these connections to the attention of the homeowners and provide information on how to properly connect the sump pumps. Mr. Stafford advised that staff recommends the City Council adopt amended Ordinance #314, an ordinance amending Chapter 28, Section 28-114 of the Arden Hills City Code. If adopted, staff will then publish the amended ordinance, which will become effective on the day following publication. Mayor Probst pointed out that the proposed ordinance does not establish the illegality of prohibited sump pump connections, as these connections are already illegal. The intent of the proposed ordinance was to codifY the language under which the City can perform inspections and to establish specific penalties for noncompliance. Mayor Probst invited those present to address the City Council on the proposed ordinance. Mr. Don Messerly, 3915 Fairview Avenue, stated that his home currently has two sump pumps. One had been sufficient, however, due to a heavy rain storm in 1994, he tiled the basernent and installed an additional sump pump with the correct connection. He stated that this had been a great deal of work and it would have been much easier to simply run the pump drain into the floor drain. He felt that the residents not in compliance should be given a certain amount of time to correct the connections. Ifthe connections are not corrected within the allotted time, then the homeowners should be fined. e . . . ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - AUGUST 30,1999 D.~'. ,1: i j} 3 F C:;'i:" ,t;4.iiAi i Councilmember Aplikowski stated that she was in support of the amended ordinance. She felt, however, that more time should be allowed to correct their sump pump connections. She asked Mr. Messerly how long it took him to install his new sump pump with the proper connections. Mr. Messerly stated that he had begun the project in the beginning of May and completed it in October. Councilmember Aplikowski did not believe that 30 days would be adequate and suggested a 60-day time limit. Mr. Stafford noted that the work referred to by Mr. Messerly was more than changing a connection. Councilmember Aplikowski understood this, however, she still felt 30 days would not be enough time and would prefer 60 days. Councilmember Larson stated he too was in support of the ordinance and concurred that the time limit for correction should be extended to 60 days. He also felt the use of the word "may" in the portion of the ordinance which discusses the surcharges should changed to "shall." He felt that it was reasonable to allow the homeowners who must make a change in their current connections an additional 30 days to accomplish this. However, he would prefer for the City to state that it will impose a fine for those who are not in compliance at the end of the 60 days. Councilmember Rem stated that the staff presentation this evening and the handouts were useful. She wondered how much the public really knows about the actual content of the ordinance. She noted that the ordinance states the purpose of these requirements was to prevent hazardous public health conditions and significant damage to properties, as well as to prevent the flooding and overloading of the sanitary sewer system. Councilmember Rem noted that the ordinance discusses surcharges for no more than 12 months. She felt that this would allow homeowners to buy additional time to correct their sump pump connections if they are unable to accomplish tbis in 30 or 60 days. Mr. Post noted that Councilmember Rem was referring the last paragraph of Subsection C. This paragraph indicated that the maximum charge is not to exceed 12 monthly surcharges. It was initially suggested, as part of the rate structure, that the surcharge be set at $100 per month. Therefore, it would be cheaper to correct the problem than to pay the surcharges. Councilmember Rem pointed out that this ordinance amendment is not something being done only by the City of Arden Hills. Many other cities inspect residential sump pump connections and require corrections in order to reduce the amount and cost of sewage treatment. Councilmember Malone stated that he supported the amended ordinance and noted that these prohibited connections have been illegal since it was first codified in 1974. With regard to the 30 day time limit, he stated that the City has not strongly enforced these requirements and he believed there are many houses within the City that are in conformance. He stated he would support a 60 day time limit or longer. He suggested the possibility of a 90 day time limit to allow homeowners time to adapt to the new restrictions. He suggested adding an additional clause to the ordinance stating that, as of January 1,2001, the time limit will revert back to 30 days. . Councilmember Rem concurred that a 90 day time limit may be especially useful since the inspections will begin in the fall and winter when there may be seasonal implications. She noted ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - AUGUST 30, 1999 "., ~ 4 . that the ordinance allows for a resident to hire a State licensed plumber to inspect a home for conformance. . Mayor Probst concurred with the suggestion that the 30 day time limit be reinstated and suggested it coincide with the completion of the City's inspection, which may be up to 24 months from the time it starts. Councilmember Larson noted that, if the time limit for compliance were to revert back to 30 days as of January 1,2001, the City inspections would have to be completed by September of2000. Mr. Stafford stated that according to the contract, the inspections must be completed by September of2001. However, he believed that the work would be completed well before this time. Councilmember Malone suggested that the City allow a 120 day time limit, up to the end of the inspection cycle. At this point, most homes should be in compliance. Once the inspection cycle is completed and the homeowners have been given sufficient time to correct their connections, the 30 day time limit should be enforced. MOTION: Councilmember Malone moved and Councilmember Aplikowski seconded a motion to adopt Ordinance #314, amending Chapter 28, Section 28-114, Arden Hills City Code, with the following amendments to Subsection C: 1. Second paragraph, first sentence, change the number of days from thirty to one hundred and twenty. Second paragraph, after the first sentence add, "After January I, 2002, if the violation is not corrected with thirty (30) calendar days after notice of the violation has been delivered personally or by certified mail to such person, owner, lessee or occupant, the City shall impose a surcharge in the amount directed by the City Council. Change the word "may" in paragraph two, third and fourth line and paragraph three, third line, to "shall." . 2. 3. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). Mayor Probst stated that the Council was also asked to adopt the Ordinance summary for publication in the City's official newspaper. MOTION: Councilmember Larson moved and Councilmember Aplikowski seconded a motion to direct staff to publish the ordinance summary to provide legal notice of the adopted ordinance. Since the ordinance was only three pages in length, Councilmember Malone asked if it was necessary to publish a summary, or if the entire ordinance could be published. Mr. Post stated that, with tonight's changes being made to Ordinance #314, it would make sense to publish the ordinance in its entirety. Councilmember Larson withdrew his motion to direct staff to publish the ordinance summary with the understanding that staffwill publish the ordinance in its entirety. . e e e ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - AUGUST 30, 1999 Di~A\FT 5 Mayor Probst requested confirmation that, once the ordinance is published, there will be no further public hearing process for this issue. Mr. Post stated that this was correct. APPROVAL OF MINUTES A. August 9, 1999 Regular Council Meeting B. August 16,1999 Council Worksession With regard to the August 9, 1999 minutes, Councilmember Rem stated that the fIrst paragraph under item H on page 10 needed clarification as it appeared as though some information was missing. Councilmember Malone suggested the fIrst sentence of this paragraph be revised to read, "Mr. Fritsinger stated that the City's Building Inspector, Dave Scherbel, believed that the City's current Building Code still required significant changes as a result of..." MOTION: Councilmember Malone moved and Councilmember Aplikowski seconded a motion to approve the meeting minutes of the August 9, 1999 Regular Council Meeting, as amended, and the August 16, 1999 Council Worksession, as submitted. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). CONSENT CALENDAR A. B. C.

The motion carried unanimously (5-0). PUBLIC COMMENTS Mayor Probst invited those present to come forward and address the Council on any items not already on the agenda. There were no public comments.

Case #99-13, Friskies Pet Care Company, 4251 Fernwood Avenue, Site Plan Review, Biofilter ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - AUGUST 30,1999 D " f"~"'" j";,; :: l,"~c ,~, ~ !I" ~. ~ 6 e Ms. Randall explained that the petitioner was requesting approval of a site plan to allow for a 50 foot by 57 foot biofilter to eliminate odor at the Friskies plant which is located at 4251 Fernwood Avenue. The City of Arden Hills has received several complaints from neighbors regarding the odor from the Friskies plant. The Staff investigated their complaints and found that they constituted a nuisance as defined in the City Code. Friskies has evaluated their existing process and other processes for eliminating odor emanating from the plant. Currently, Friskies uses a system of chemicals that neutralize the odor. The problem with the current system is, if they change the ingredients, the chemicals to neutralize the odor must also be modified. Friskies would like to install a biofilter system to neutralize the odors. The biofilter system removes and oxidizes organic gasses from contaminated air by use of beds of wood chips. Billions of indigenous microorganisms, inherent within the wood chips, convert the organic compounds to carbon dioxide and water. These naturally occurring microorganisms consume the offending compounds in a safe, moist, oxygen rich environment. The new biofilter is proposed to be located to the rear side of the existing plant. The majority of . the structure will be underground, however, six feet on the east side and two feet on the west side will be above ground, with a six-foot high chain link fence along the top of the structure. The chain link fence is to protect people and animals from entering the biofilter. Staff recommended the chain link fence be open, or earth tone slats be used. The applicant was proposing to add trees to buffer from the City trail and residents. Staff proposed the trees be placed at a 45 degree angle to each other, 12 feet apart. The Planning Commission recommended this tree line be extended further to the south on the west side. The proposed biofilter meets the height, floor area ratio, lot coverage, landscape lot area, and setback requirements. The applicant would like the ability to turn a light on for maintenance. The light would be located on the northwest side of the biofilter, facing southeast. The lighting would meet the Zoning Ordinance lighting standard and would only be used for maintenance purposes. There currently is no lighting on the west side of the building. Ms. Randall advised that the Planning Commission recommended approval of Planning Case #99-13, Site Plan, to allow for the construction of a 50 foot by 57 foot Biofilter subject to the following conditions: 1. Rice Creek Watershed Approval. e Dc..'.....,!.".._;,..". ,;.,"-,~o.::"~ II . '. [ .. 4""{- /,,:...'C ,'c- .., ~~ It...lil ii ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - AUGUST 30,1999 7 e Ms. Randall stated that the Rice Creek Watershed District has since approved the proposed biofilter. 2. Exposed foundation be painted earth tone. 3. Chain link fence be open, or slats be earth toned. 4. Lighting plan approved by Staff prior to installation and the use of the light be limited to maintenance only. 5. ModifY the landscape plan with 6 to 8 foot blue spruce trees as proposed by Staff in Exhibit B with the addition of trees extending to the south. 6. Grading plan be approved by the City Engineer prior to the building permit. 7. The applicant monitor the odor to ensure reduction of the odors. The applicant has supplied a letter stating they agree with the conditions of approval. However, the applicant was concerned with condition number seven and how this monitoring must be done. The applicant has agreed to hire a professional odor control consultant to evaluate the biofilter to ensure there is a reduction in odor. Mayor Probst asked how the medium in the biofilter is kept moist during the winter time. Mr. Ken Holla, Friskies Plant Manager, stated that moisture is added to the air as it is discharged. Mayor Probst asked if there were any concerns for freezing in the winter time. Mr. Holla stated that freezing was not a concern. With regard to the plan to install a fence around the biofilter, Councilmember Larson asked what could potentially happen if a person were to get into the biofilter and how deep the medium will be. Mr. Holla stated that the medium will be a four to five feet deep pile of wood chips. The intent of the fence is more to prevent disturbance of the wood chips, which would reduce the effectiveness of the biofilter. e Mr. Daryl Grove, Friskies Division Environmental Manager, stated that it is possible to walk on the wood chips and agreed that disturbing the wood chips would effect the bacteria and reduce the effectiveness. MOTION: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. . 6. 7. Councilmember Malone moved and Councilmember Aplikowski seconded a motion to approve Planning Case #99-13, Site Plan, to allow for the construction of a 50 foot by 57 foot biofilter, subject to the following conditions: Rice Creek Watershed Approval, Exposed foundation be painted earth tone. Chain link fence be open, or slats be earth toned. Lighting plan approved by Staff prior to installation and the use of the light be limited to maintenance only. ModifY the landscape plan with 6 to 8 foot blue spruce trees as proposed by Staff in Exhibit B with the addition of trees extending to the south. Grading plan be approved by the City Engineer prior to the building permit. The applicant monitor the odor to ensure reduction of the odors. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - AUGUST 30, 1999 DRAFT 8 The motion carried unanimously (5-0). e 2. Case #99-11, Aaron and Steve Nelson, 3130 Cleveland Avenue North, Concept Planned Unit Development Mr. Post stated that the City Council received a bench handout which was the most recent site plan from the applicant, showing the addition of an additional County Road D curb cut. Ms. Randall explained that the petitioner was proposing a concept planned unit development for construction of a 13,000 square foot office building, with 7,000 square feet on the main and upper level used for office and 6,000 square feet in the lower level used for storage. The site is currently one of seven sites being reviewed with the development of the proposed Neighborhood Business District. Ms. Randall presented the original site plan which was reviewed by the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission had approved this site plan with five recommendations: I. Provision of a 30-foot buffer yard from residential property (North and East). In reviewing the Neighborhood Business District, staff recommended a 30-foot minimum setback buffer yard from adjacent residential properties. The applicant is proposing a 20-foot setback to the north. 2. Access ramp on the east side of the building be included only if necessary for normal business operations. . The proposed plan shows a I O-foot wide access ramp to the lower level (proposed to be used for storage). Staff had concerns with the ramp being used for vehicle traffic due to its proximity to adjacent residential property. 3. The two parking stalls along the Cleveland Avenue entrance and the direction of the angle parking along the east property line be redesigned. The two parking stalls along the Cleveland Avenue entrance may cause a conflict for traffic entering and exiting the property. The parking stalls on the southeast side will have headlights facing residential neighbors. 4. Drive access from County Road D be moved further east, away from the intersection. Access to the parcel is provided by full movement access to County Road D and Cleveland Avenue. The access to County Road D, as shown, may be too close to Cleveland Avenue. With the reconstruction of County Road D, Ramsey County may modify this to a right-in/right-out drive. . e . . ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - AUGUST 30, 1999 DRiL;FT 9 5. Screening from adjacent residential property include both fencing and landscaping. The site plan depicted partial fencing along both the north and east property lines with landscaping. With the final planned unit development the applicant must supply staff with more information regarding the proposed landscaping. The applicant modified the concept plan to incorporate the items discussed at the Planning Commission meeting. The new proposal turns the building and moves the parking lot all to the west side. The building is also being shown as a 6,336 square foot print which increases some of the calculations slightly. The revised plan will still meet the current General Business District standards for height, floor area ratio, lot coverage, and landscape lot area. Access to the parcel from County Road D is shown further back from the intersection. With regard to the Planning Commission's recommendation number one, the new site plan does show a 30-foot buffer yard setback on the east property line, however, there was still a 20-foot setback to the north. Both proposed plans show a 10- foot wide access ramp to the lower level. The ramp access has been changed to show a sod covered entrance. The applicant was proposing a curb cut showing that there will be the need to drive through that area in order to access the lower level. Staff still believes this may be used for vehicle traffic now or in the future and, due to its proximity to adjacent residential properties, should be eliminated. The applicant was showing 32 parking spaces where 30 spaces are required. The parking does not include the square footage for the lower level which would be used for storage. This parking configuration eliminates the headlights from facing the neighbor to the east. The new layout does, however, face headlights to the north which will need to be well screened. The modified proposal reduced the buffer area between Cleveland A venue and the parking lot to 19 feet where it was previously proposed at 30 feet. This eomer is shown on a 1985 study as a gateway to the City. The proposed 100 square foot pylon sign has been relocated along County Road D. Ms. Randall stated that the applicant had resolved several of the conditions recommended by the Planning Commission. Staff recommended modifying the recommendation approving Planning Case #99-11, concept planned unit development, subject to the following conditions: I. Provision of a 30-foot buffer yard from residential property (north and east). 2. Access ramp on the east side of the building be eliminated. 3. Screening from adjacent residential property include both fencing and landscaping. Mayor Probst asked if the Planning Commission had discussed locating the building on the corner. He assumed that, with the preparation of the new Neighborhood Business Zoning District, the intent was to construct this lot in a similar fashion to the corner in Roseville at County Road D and Fairview Avenue, rather than the comer across the street in New Brighton. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - AUGUST 30,1999 DF". p "-1- :.Jt{t~~~ 10 Ms. Randall stated that the proposed Neighborhood Business District has not spelled out whether . the building is to be placed at the corner or to the rear of the lot. The applicant presented a plan within the parameters of the Neighborhood Business Zoning District, with the exception of the northern setback. She stated that, one negative aspect to the building being placed close to the street, would be that the parking lot would require intensive screening from the residential area. The proposed layout of the building allows the car lights to shine out towards the intersection. Mayor Probst confirmed that the basement would also be 6,336 square feet. Ms. Randall stated that the plan was for a full basement to be used for storage. With regard to the requirement for a 30-foot buffer to the north, Councilmember Larson stated if an additional I 0 feet of setback was established to the north, this would push the building down in front of the setback for the adjacent residence. Ms. Randall stated that, with a planned unit development, there is the option to change the setbacks. However, the guidelines that staffwas attempting to adhere to be the proposed Neighborhood Business District. Councilmember Malone stated that he was inclined to support the proposal as the numbers did meet the proposed Neighborhood Business Zoning District. He did not feel that the 20-foot setback to the north was a large issue since it was a rear yard for the adjacent neighbors. If the applicant was proposing a 20- foot side yard setback, he would not find this acceptable. He suggested that the City Council discuss the proposed access ramp to the lower level. . Councilmember Aplikowski asked if there would be no other way to get to the storage in the lower level without the access ramp. Ms. Randall stated that at this time she did not have the interior plans for the building. However, she did believe that there could be a stairwell inside, an inside ramp, or the outside ramp could be moved to another location. Mayor Probst invited the applicant to respond to the concerns regarding the access ramp to the lower level. Mr. Steve Nelson stated that the reason for the layout of the building was to allow enough buffering from the adjacent residences. He spoke with the neighbors to the north and east and the homeowners supported his plan as it would improve the appearance of the lot. The lot has been used as a dump for lawn clippings and tree branches and at this time there are tires and a 55-gallon barrel on the lot. Not knowing the future plans of County Road D, Mr. Nelson stated that keeping the building far away from the street made the most sense. He had initially considered locating the building on the corner. However, there is contamination in this area and any soil removed would have to be treated off-site. The east side of the lot contains no soil contamination. With regard to the access ramp, Mr. Nelson stated this would be used primarily for storage. He has over 8,000 files and the two other attorneys who would be occupying the office building currently pay for off-site storage. If an outside access ramp is not permitted, there would have to be two stairwells inside and he would prefer only one stairwell. Some personal items may be . e . . ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - AUGUST 30, 1999 DRAFT II stored in the lower level as well. The intent is to use grass or gravel for the access ramp with a nice retaining wall and landscaping. Once the building site is determined, Mr. Nelson stated that he intends to hire a professional landscaper to determine which trees on site will be salvageable. He hoped to salvage as many trees as possible, however, many of the trees are box elders and cottonwoods which will have to be removed to make room for the building. Once this is determined, he planned to discuss the screening with the residential neighbors. Some of the homeowners to the north want trees while others prefer fencing. He will be happy to install a fence for the homeowner to the east, however, they may not want a full 6-foot high fence. He noted the residence to the east is only four and one-half feet from the property line. Mr. Nelson stated that the basement would only be accessed during working hours and occasionally on weekends. He indicated that carrying the large files down stairwells would not work well for him and a ramp inside would take up too much space. Mayor Probst stated that he was pleased to see a development proposal for this corner. With regard to the Welcome to Arden Hills sign, he asked if the City should ask for the easement now in order to protect this opportunity. Mr. Nelson stated that this requirement could be added to the developer's agreement as he would like to see the sign installed. He hoped that the sign would use materials similar to those on his building and that it will not be as large as the sign in Shoreview at Highway 96 and Lexington Avenue. Councilmember Aplikowski asked what sort of doorway would be installed for the access ramp. Mr. Nelson stated that a seven-foot by lO-foot garage door would be used. Councilmember Aplikowski asked ifthis would be to allow a vehicle to be driven into the basement. Mr. Nelson stated that this was correct. Councilmember Aplikowski asked how wide the ramp would be. Mr. Nelson stated that the ramp would be 10-feet wide, the required width of a driveway. He noted that there had been concerns of him parking cars in the basement of the building. In order for this to be done the structure would have to be entirely different than proposed with items such as ventilation, and this was not his intent. Councilmember Aplikowski asked if there would be another way to access the basement. Mr. Nelson stated that there would have to be an inside stairway. Councilmember Larson asked if the applicant was proposing a concrete slab at the bottom of the access ramp. Mr. Nelson stated that there will have to be some sort of hard surface to allow for a catch basin drain. Councilmember Larson confirmed that the proposed curb cut off Country Road D was to allow for access to the ramp. Mr. Nelson stated that this was correct. Commissioner Larson asked if there will be grass from the curb cut to the access ramp. Mr. Nelson stated that blocks with cut- outs may be used and the plan was to landscape the south side of the building. Councilmember Larson asked ifthere was a reason for not proposing a more formal driveway to the access ramp. Mr. Nelson stated that the intent was to install a gravel or grass driveway to slow the water flow ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - AUGUST 30, 1999 DRAFT 12 down to the ramp. He wanted to be able to drive down the access ramp, however, there would be . no vehicles parked in the driveway. Councilmember Larson stated that he had no strong feelings about whether the driveway should be gravel or grass. He felt that the proposed building was very attractive and was concerned that a dirt or gravel road crossing the boulevard could detract from the attractiveness. Mr. Nelson suggested that concrete or brick could be used. The intent was to discourage traffic from using this access. He suggested installing private driveway signs or a chain. Councilmember Rem stated that she had attended the Planning Commission meeting when this Planning Case was discussed. She was puzzled by the concept of an office needing a drive down ramp for storage. The storage would be more secure with an inside access. With the changes being made to County Road D, and the amount oftraffic, the hope is to minimize the curb cuts off the road. She understood that the applicant did not intend to use this access ramp on a daily basis, however, her concern was how this may be used by the next owner of the office building. Additionally, the sunken driveway could become a collection point for rubbish. Mr. Nelson stated that he intended to remain in this office space for the next 15 to 20 years. He noted that he may use the lower level to store his private boat during the winter months. Additionally, he would not prefer to store his files off-site and would not want to have to carry them up and down stairs. He stated that he could not understand the objections to the proposed access ramp. He indicated that there could be three houses built on this lot and a driveway could be installed five feet from the eastern property line which would be much noisier than his . proposed use. Councilmember Rem asked if another intent of the storage area was for the applicant to store his boat. Mr. Nelson stated that he would primarily be storing his dead files in the lower level. Councilmember Rem noted that there have been many discussions regarding what will be allowed in the proposed Neighborhood Business Zoning District and not all aspects have been decided. Mayor Probst suggested that, rather than the curb cut off County Road D, paving blocks could be installed to wrap off the other entry drive to the access ramp. He indicated that boat storage underneath an office building did not feel right to him. He could not think of any reason to object other than, if the office were sold to someone else, he would not want this space to become a boat storage business. He suggested controls over how the lower level storage is to be used be added to the developer's agreement. Mr. Nelson noted that, in order for the building to be used primarily as boat or vehicle storage, the owner would have to apply for a building permit and comply with all underground parking requirements. He pointed out that the driveway will only be 10 feet wide which would not allow for vehicles to pass. Mayor Probst expressed concern for what others may use this area for in the future. If the applicant uses the storage space for the reasons he has indicated, he would not have objections. However, if the office building were sold, a new owner could try to use the building to sell storage space in the winter which would not be appropriate. He had been suggesting that there be restrictions in the developers' agreement on how the lower level is used. Mr. Nelson noted . e . . ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - AUGUST 30, 1999 n t.. rr "!iF ...kl.' ...i\ ~Im ~ .", -'",.~ II 13 that if a new owner wished to remodel the building, they would have to apply for a building permit. Mayor Probst agreed and pointed out that, if a new owner did not plan to change the layout of the building, they would not need to apply for a permit. He stated that he was not fundamentally objecting to the applicant's plans, he was simply trying to explore the possibility of controls so that this development does not become an issue in the future. Mr. Nelson stated that a planned unit development was different than most developments because there are extra restrictions. He suggested that the City limit the hours the basement can be accessed from the outside. He noted that the access would only be large enough to drive a van down to the basement. Mayor Probst asked if there were any objections to installing paver blocks from the main entrance, along County Road D, to the access ramp. Mr. Nelson stated that it would be difficult to make the turn at the southeastern corner to access the ramp. Councilmember Malone stated that he did not see a problem with the access ramp. He felt that the issue was whether or not this was an appropriate use of the building. He noted that the curb cut off County Road D makes the access an official driveway and the concern was for possible future uses of the lower level. He would prefer to allow the applicant the use of the access ramp and place restrictions in the developer's agreement for future use. He confirmed that staffs primary concern for the access ramp was possible future uses. Ms. Randall stated that this was correct. Councilmember Rem stated that part of her concern was that the Neighborhood Business Zoning District has not yet been formally established. This development is the first proposal under the new Zoning District and the intent of the Zoning District was to allow commercial development adjacent to residential uses with minimal impact on the residential uses. Mr. Nelson stated that he had originally tried to create a development which would meet the current Business Zoning District of the property. Since the zoning will be changing to Neighborhood Business, his new goal was to meet these new restrictions. He felt that the only issue was the access ramp, which should be acceptable with the planned unit development since there are more controls with this sort of development process. He noted that he was under time constraints as he must close with the current owner by October 1999. Councilmember Aplikowski asked if the applicant had considered other entrances to the lower level. Mr. Nelson stated that he had considered an entrance from the north, however, the natural drainage flows to the north. Additionally, there would be less excavation on the east side. Councilmember Aplikowski stated that she had assumed the applicant had been proposing more of a trail rather than a formal driveway. Mr. Nelson stated that his intent was for the access to the ramp to be the shortest distance possible. Councilmember Aplikowski stated that in theory she did not have a problem with the access ramp, however, she would prefer for there to be a less formal curb cut. She confirmed that the applicant would be presenting the City Council with a final planned unit development. Mr. Nelson stated that this was correct. Councilmember Aplikowski stated that she could see no ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - AUGUST 30,1999 D' ,......,.,. ",I",',"'" "r' . ."", ",' c" ~ . ~i~-~ G~\~= >> 14 reason to hold up this Planning Case and she was willing to support he request with screening to .. the north and additional landscaping to the south. .. Mayor Probst suggested a portion of the curb be removed from County Road D and replaced with a mountable curb, rather than a full apron. This would make the entrance clear without a full curb cut. Councilmember Malone noted that most new developments utilize this sort of curb. Councilmember Larson concurred with this suggestion. He stated that he had no objections with the proposed storage and ramp. He would prefer for the access to the ramp to hug the southern property line and for there to be no curb cut. He confirmed that the applicant would object to the access being from the main entrance due to the sharp turn at the southeast corner. Mr. Nelson stated that this was correct. He would prefer a shorter distance and the straight-in access. MOTION: Councilmember Malone moved and Councilmember Aplikowski seconded a motion to approve Planning Case #99-11, Concept Plarmed Unit Development, subject to the following conditions: 1. Provision of a 20- foot buffer yard from residential property to the north, and a 30-foot buffer yard from residential property to the east. The access ramp on the east side of the building use concrete paper blocks and have a surmountable curb, without an apron for the curb cut treatment. Screening from adjacent residential property includes both fencing and landscaping. The Developer's Agreement have very clear language that it was not the City Council's intent that the access ramp be utilized as a full-use driveway. . 2. 3. 4. The motion carried (4-1, Councilmember Rem opposed). Mayor Probst recognized that the applicant's architect is also the Chairman of the Plarming Commission and asked that the message be carried back to the Chairman that he and the City should be proud of the building design. B. TCAAP Zoning, Review of Requests for Proposals Mr. Post explained that, as part of the TCAAP re-use plarming effort conducted in 1995 and 1996, a portion of the acreage was identified for public and institutional land use. The conceptual land use vision was reinforced when the City of Arden Hills submitted its Comprehensive Plan update to the Metropolitan Council in late 1998, Future identified public and institutional land use areas on TCAAP are not supported by consistent zoning requirements. Recognizing both this fact and the probability ofland conveyances from the Army to both the City of Arden Hills and Ramsey County for one land area occurring in the near future, the City requested proposals for plarming services on June 25, 1999. . . e e ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - AUGUST 30,1999 DRJ~fT 15 The City received and reviewed requests for proposals from three firms, BRW, McCombs, Frank, Roos Associates, Inc., and Resource Strategies Corporation, to create the TCAAP Civic Center Zoning District. It appeared that all three firms are qualified to undertake this assignment. However, there were significant differences in proposed compensation for the professional services. The firm that the City used for its Comprehensive Plan update, McCombs, Frank, Roos Associates, Inc., could perform these services at significant savings. Staff was favorably impressed with the firm for this larger consulting engagement. Mr. Post advised that staff recommends the City Council select the firm of McCombs, Frank, Roos Associates, Inc. for planning services in conjunction with the creation of the Civic Center Zoning District for TCAAP, and authorize the Interim City Administrator to complete necessary contract documents for the engagement. Mayor Probst stated that he supported staffs recommendation. He noted that the City has had direct experience with two of the three firms who submitted proposals and have supplied solid work for the City of Arden Hills. McCombs, Frank, Roos Associates, Inc. had a significant advantage, having worked on the City Comprehensive Plan. Councilmember Larson occurred and noted that, McCombs, Frank, Roos Associates, Inc. did a nice job on the Comprehensive Plan and the firm will not have to start from square-one which was reflected in the cost for their servICes. MOTION: Councilmember Larson moved and Councilmember Aplikowski seconded a motion to select the firm of McCombs, Frank, Roos Associates, Inc. for planning services in conjunction with the creation of the Civic Center Zoning District for TCAAP, and authorize the Interim City Administrator to complete necessary contract documents for the engagement. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). C. Resolution #99-26, Resolution Designating "No Parking" Restrictions Along a Portion of Cleveland Avenue Mr. Stafford explained that, with the reconstruction of the railroad bridge, the City Council was being asked to adopt resolution #99-26 to limit parking on a portion of Cleveland Avenue. The segment of the roadway in this area is 32 feet which is not enough to support parking on both sides of the street. Ramsey County has asked the City of Arden Hills to limit the parking in order for the County to receive state aid approval of the project. Mr. Stafford advised that staff recommends the City Council adopt Resolution #99-26, designating "No Parking" restrictions on the east side of Cleveland Avenue from the south side of the Soo Line railroad bridge to Thorn Drive. Mayor Probst asked if there was a reason why Ramsey County was asking to restrict parking on the east side and not the west side. Mr. Stafford stated that he was not sure, although the east side does have a sidewalk. Mayor Probst stated that, if the residents in the area were to use this portion of Cleveland Avenue for parking, it would seem that the east side would be more convenient. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - AUGUST 30, 1999 DRAfT 16 Mayor Probst asked if it would be possible to approve the no parking restrictions for only one . side of the street and decide which side that will be at a later date. Mr. Stafford stated that this might be acceptable. Councilmember Larson asked how eminent the construction of the bridge was and if it would be possible to act on this resolution at the next City Council meeting after clarifying which side of the street should be restricted. Mr. Stafford stated that the intent was to begin the setup process in November and close the road in March 2000 for one year. Councilmember Malone stated that he agreed with the Mayor and suggested the motion include a change in the Resolution to not specify which side ofthe street was to be restricted. MOTION: Councilmember Malone moved and Councilmember Aplikowski seconded a rnotion to adopt Resolution #99-26, designating "No Parking" restrictions on one side of Cleveland Avenue from the south side of the Soo Line railroad bridge to Thorn Drive. Councilmember Rem stated that it was her understanding that the west side of Cleveland Avenue was already posted for no parking which may be why the east side was specified in the Resolution. Mayor Probst noted that he was not sure that the installation of signs was required. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). e Councilmember Malone pointed out that the west side of Cleveland A venue was in the City of New Brighton and the City of Arden Hills could not restrict parking on this side of the road. Mr. Stafford stated that he would clarify these concerns. D. Metropolitan Conncil, Parks and Open Space Commission Appointment Mayor Probst eXplained that five positions on the Metropolitan Parks and Open Space Commission were open for appointment and the Metropolitan Council was asking that names be forwarded for consideration. Mayor Probst stated that he had made contact with one individual who may be interested in being appointed to the Commission. He indicated that the City of Arden Hills does have past Chairs and other candidates from the Parks and Recreation Committee that may be good candidates for this Commission. He was not sure that the City Council was required to take formal action and noted that a list of candidates would be due Friday, September 3, 1999. Councilmember Larson asked why the City of Arden Hills was part of the Stillwater District. Mr. Post stated that Districts were combined for this particular Commission. Councilmember Larson confirmed that the City of Arden Hills District was eligible for one of the open positions and would have to compete with the City of Stillwater District to fill the position. He asked if there was one position allotted to each of the Districts. Mr. Post explained that the terms were .. staggered and there were four positions to be filled this term and four to be filled next year. - e e . ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - AUGUST 30,1999 DRAfT 17 Councilmember Aplikowski stated that she had not had the opportunity to discuss these openings with any potential candidates. She asked ifthe City would be submitting only one candidate. Mayor Probst stated that the City of Arden Hills would most likely have a better chance of being supported if only one candidate is offered. He noted that the other municipalities would also be forwarding potential candidates and he was not sure who does the actual appointments. Councilmember Rem stated that she had informed the members of the Parks and Recreation Committee of these openings, however, none of the Committee members were interested in being appointed. Mayor Probst stated that, with the Council's support, he would continue to pursue the individual he had identified as a possible candidate as well as any other individuals the Council rnay recommend. E. City Administrator Hiring Timetable (Posting Closes August 31, 1999) Mayor Probst stated that the proposed hiring schedule for the City Administrator position was an aggressive schedule. If the Councilmembers were comfortable with the schedule, dates needed to be determined for the first and second interviews. Mr. Post asked that the City Council provide him with any open dates that would work for the interview schedule. Councilmember Malone asked if a subcommittee had been setup for this hiring schedule. Mr. Post stated that a subcommittee was established. Councilmember Malone asked how many responses the City had received so far. Mr. Post stated that 16 applications had been received. Since the cut-off date was August 31, 1999, he anticipated that a large number of applications would be received on that day. Mayor Probst suggested that the City Council agree to have dates available and for the interview dates to be determined at the next Council Worksession. Councilmember Malone noted that during previous interview processes, interviews had been held during evenings and Saturdays. Councilmember Larson expressed his preference for evening interviews. Councilmember Malone noted that a weekend schedule would allow the interviews to be conducted in one day. Mayor Probst noted the reason the Council had previously chosen to schedule the interviews all in one day was due to the fact that the list of candidates had been reduced to four to five individuals. He suggested that if this group of candidates was brought down to this number, there would be some advantage to seeing all the candidates at once. This would depend upon how short the list of applicants is. He stated that he would be comfortable with interviewing three candidates per night if necessary. Councilmember Malone believed that the list of candidates could be reduced to a maximum five final applicants. Councilmember Larson noted that the staff report recommended a reduced list of 15 candidates to be reviewed. He asked, if only 25 applications were received, would 15 candidates still be the goal, or should this number be reduced. He asked what the basis had been for choosing the ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - AUGUST 30,1999 DRAFT 18 number 15. Mr. Post stated that the basis was due to the fact that the last time this position was . filled there had been about 50 applications and 15 candidates seemed a reasonable number to consider. Mayor Probst stated that, as the applications are reviewed, he did not feel staff should include extra candidates simply to reach the goal of 15. He would prefer that the number be reduced to a manageable number. Mr. Post concurred. Mayor Probst noted that staff was recommending the week of October 4, 1999 for the first interviews and the week of October 18, 1999 for the second interviews. Councilmember Malone suggested that the first interviews be conducted on October 4th and 5th, or October 20th and 21 st, with the second interviews being conducted the week of October 25th. Mayor Probst preferred for the first interview schedule to be conducted on October 4th and 5th. Councilmernber Aplikowski concurred. Mayor Probst suggested that stafftarget these dates and that the dates be confirmed at the September 20, 1999 Council Worksession. Mr. Post agreed. Councilmember Aplikowski asked why the new City Administrator would be scheduled to begin work prior to the end of the year. Councilmember Rem stated that the sooner the position can be filled the better. Mr. Post asked Councilmembers Aplikowski and Larson ifthey were comfortable with the rating form as submitted. Councilmember Aplikowski felt that the rating form would be acceptable. e ADMINISTRATOR COMMENTS Mr. Post stated that Engineer Brown has spent time with Mr. Stafford and himselfto reevaluate the scope of the Pavement Management Plan. An issue was that there were more projects in the plan than there was money to handle them. Mr. Brown had some suggestions that the City Council would explore in more detail at the next Council Worksession. Mr. Post noted that the City received a petition from the property owners on Old Highway 10 regarding the extension of the City water line to these residences. This was not considered in the Capital Improvement Plan for the year 2000. He suggested that the City Council discuss whether or not it wished to proceed with this project. With regard to the October Council Worksession, Mr. Post stated that he had two agenda items he would like included. These are subsequent to the I35W Corridor Coalition making its presentation to the Metropolitan Council in early October. The two agenda items were: 1. The City Council's direction regarding a recommendation to Ramsey County for the Highways 96/1 0 intersection. The Coalition and the Metropolitan Council may impact the City's proposal for the triangle area. The City received a petition stating, if there is work to be done at the Highways 96/10 intersection, residents on Old Highway 10 and Lakeshore Place implore the City Council to consider a condition of approval that a sound barrier on the east side of Highway lObe constructed. e 2. . e e . DRAFT ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - AUGUST 30,1999 19 Mr. Post stated that in the past several years the City has held a City staff/Council/volunteer recognition picnic. He asked the Council if they would want to proceed with such an event this year. Mayor Probst stated that he would approve of holding the picnic, providing it can be accomplished with the reduced stafflevel. If Mr. Post believed this could be accomplished, Mayor Probst would welcome the opportunity to recognize the volunteers and to thank staff for their efforts. Councilmember Aplikowski stated that one challenge to this picnic would be picking a date and suggested the October Worksession. Mr. Post noted that this may be too late for an outdoor event. He suggested that, if the City Council wished to explore the possibility, he would identify some dates on the calendar and contact a caterer as well as look into the use of the Fire Hall. Councilmember Larson stated that the picnic was a good idea and offered to help if there was anyway the Council could take some pressure off staff. Councilmember Aplikowski suggested, if the event will be indoors, it could be held in November with a Thanksgiving theme. With regard to the tragic traffic accident last Friday on Highway 694 at Highway 10, Mr. Post stated that he had commented to the media concerning the community's reaction to the incident. Mr. Post noted that, as discussions take place to improve the Highways 694/10 corridor, the focus has been on congestion and how to move traffic through. This incident also outlined for him the importance of safety considerations as well. Councilmember Malone noted that the accident occurred on west bound Highway 694 and it was not clear exactly what happened. It appeared as though the driver was in the wrong lane at the Highways 694/10 intersection and had to weave over in order to continue on Highway 694. COUNCIL COMMENTS AND COMMITTEE LIAISON ACTIVITY REPORTS Councilmember Larson stated that in the Land Conveyance Bill there had been a statement that indicated the use of the City Hall complex and the Maintenance Facility by the Minnesota National Guard shall be without cost. He agreed that the use of the City Hall complex shall be without cost. However, the Maintenance Facility was to be a shared facility. Mayor Probst stated that he had interpreted this statement differently. It had been his impression that the Minnesota National Guard could use the portion that the City builds, to the extent that it works with the City's schedule, at no cost. Another facility will need to be built by the Minnesota National Guard and there was no indication that the Guard expected to receive a free facility. Councilmember Larson expressed concern for the Minnesota National Guard not being able to share the cost of the Maintenance Facility because of the language in the Bill. He suggested that staff review the language of the Land Conveyance Bill. Mayor Probst suggested that Mr. Post pursue this with the Minnesota National Guard. Mr. Post agreed. With regard to the letter received by the City from Mr. Charles Bright, Councilmember Larson asked what the circumstances had been surrounding the reported vandalism. Mr. Post explained that a car drove onto Mr. Bright's property causing damage to the lawn. Mr. Bright has had this occur on three occasions in 1998, and at least twice this year. His home is not on a comer lot and ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - AUGUST 30,1999 DRAFT 20 , it would appear as though Mr. Bright is being targeted. Mr. Bright and his neighbors called the . City to express their concerns. Mr. Bright and his family are alarmed and wanted some assurance that the City was concerned with the activity and was willing to pro-actively do something to prevent this from happening again. Councilmember Larson asked if staff was aware of the reason Mr. Bright was being targeted. Mr. Post stated it may because Mr. Bright is a member of a minority group. Mayor Probst stated that he had spoken with Mr. Post regarding this situation and staff was in the process of pursuing with the Ramsey County Sheriff Department what the City can do to apprehend the perpetrator. Mayor Probst stated that he had not been aware that this vandalism was this focused as he had been under the impression that this was a neighborhood issue. The City should make it clear that this is not acceptable behavior in the City of Arden Hills. He suggested that Mr. Post continue working with the Sheriff Department and contact Mr. Bright to inform him that the City will support him in solving this issue. With regard to the letter sent from Mr. Stafford to Joe Janson regarding the speed on Old Snelling Avenue, Councilmember Larson noted that the letter states that the City lacks jurisdiction over the roadway. He wondered if it was enough to state this or should the City also be communicating with Ramsey County regarding this issue. He did not understand the reason behind the variation in speed limit in such a short stretch of roadway. Enough people complain about it, and there is enough traffic on the road that the City should communicate to Ramsey County that it wants a uniform speed limit. Mr. Post stated that the deputies present at a recent meeting had indicated it was not simply a matter of putting up new speed limit signs. This issue would require a State review of the circumstances. One of the risks the community would face was that the speed limit could just as likely to go up, as go down. . Councilmember Malone stated that there was a misconception that, in order to control traffic, speed limits must go down. It was his belief that the most controlled traffic occurs when all vehicles are traveling at the same speed. Councilmember Larson stated he was not as concerned about whether the speed limit was higher or lower. His primary concern was that the speed limit be consistent. Councilmember Aplikowski stated that when she first started with the City Council, the Council had tried to have this situation resolved. Mayor Probst asked if the Council at that time had actually submitted a request to standardize the speed limit. Councilmember Aplikowski stated that the Council did submit a request and was informed that the change was not warranted at that time. Although, the Sheriff Department at that time has also agreed that there should be only one speed limit on that stretch of roadway. Mayor Probst suggested that the City send a letter to Ramsey County requesting a change to one speed limit. He cautioned that there may be some risk in the outcome not being what the City really wants. Councilmember Malone asked if this was necessary at this time, given the limited City staff level. He did not believe that this was a serious issue. Councilmember Larson stated . . ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - AUGUST 30, 1999 DRAFT 21 that he would be willing to wait until the new City Administrator is hired, however, a letter e expressing the City's concerns should be sent to Ramsey County. Councilmember Larson presented the City Council with a list of members for the Water Quality Task Force. He indicated that the list represented a good group of people and included: both Lake Shore Associations; Karth and Round Lakes representatives; Bethel and Northwestern College representatives; a Department of Natural Resources representative; a member of the Arden Hills Planning Commission; a Rice Creek Watershed District representative; and citizens of Arden Hills. If the appointments were approved this evening, Councilmember Larson stated that a letter would be sent to all members and the first meeting would be held in September. Councilmember Larson stated that he had included with the list of Task Force members a charge. He felt it important that the City Council be very specific about what it would like the task force to do and he was open to any changes. MOTION: Councilmember Larson moved and Councilmember Aplikowski seconded a motion to appoint the list of members to the Water Quality Task Force and approve the charge. . With regard to item number two on the charge, Councilmember Aplikowski asked if this should be examined differently for each lake. Councilmember Larson stated that this may be necessary considering the uniqueness ofKarth Lake. He suggested that there may be the need for a different management approach. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). Referring to the petition by residents for a barrier on Highway 10, Councilmember Malone stated that this was a good idea. He was not sure, however, that the petitioners were looking for a sound barrier as the letter references on-coming traffic. He thought perhaps the residents were requesting a four foot high jersey barrier. He had considered calling the petitioners and asking how high of a barrier they were looking for. With regard to the petition for a water main for the residents on Old Highway 10, Councilmember Malone stated he was not sure that the petition to represented a complete group, however, the City may consider this if the petition was from 100 percent of the residents. Councilmember Malone stated that the Minnesota Department of Transportation has scheduled a sound wall in the TIP to be constructed on the east side ofI35W at Highway 96. He was not sure who requested this wall or what the purpose of it was. Mayor Probst stated that it would be appropriate for the City of Arden Hills to comment on this, given all1he other activity in this area. He noted that the State has already decked one bridge that will be removed. . Councilmember Malone expressed concern that the new southbound Round Lake Road cut from Highway 96 appeared to be too narrow. He felt that large trucks may have difficulty using this lane. He asked if the east bound portion of Highway 96 at this intersection will remain single lane. Mr. Post stated that Ramsey County had engineered that this portion of Highway 96 be one ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - AUGUST 30, 1999 DR AilFT 22 . lane. Councilmernber Malone stated that he did not approve of this section of the road being only one lane. e Councilmember Aplikowski stated that she had attended the ground breaking ceremony for the school opening. She indicated that the turn out was tremendous and it was a good opportunity to welcome new teachers. Councilmember Aplikowski stated that she had spoken with Mr. Post regarding the vandalism being experienced by Mr. Bright. She had offered to visit with Mr. Bright in an attempt to make him feel more comfortable. Councilmember Aplikowski stated that it was time to begin the Special Events Committee. This committee will be in charge of the Town Hall meeting and the anniversary party planning, which may take as much as 18 months. She hoped to bring a list of committee members to the next City Council meeting. Councilmember Aplikowski stated that she did not attend the last Operations Committee meeting. Mr. Post stated that at this meeting, the Committee members did a foreed ranking of projects that the Committee felt would be appropriate to work on. The top priority was the Maintenance Facility. However, since the City Council has authorized the creation of a task force for this project, the Committee feIt it prudent to focus on their second priority which was a water and sewer rate study. Councilmember Rem stated that the Parks and Recreation Committee did not meet in August and the September meeting will include new Committee members. The Committee has discussed additional meetings to tour the City parks. It has been communicated to the Committee that the residents appreciate the improvements being done to the parks and feel the Parks and Recreation Department is doing a good job. She noted that this fall will be a big soccer season. e Councilmember Rem stated that the Northwest Youth and Family Services received its annual report which presented a break down of fund usage statistics through the month of July. Arden Hills is ahead of other communities in terms of getting good use offunds. The agency was contacted by Senator Linda Runbeck regarding the possibility of expanding the program to the City of Blaine. She indicated that this request was a surprise to the agency, particularly that the request came from the Senator. Councilmember Rem stated that the Northwest Youth and Family Services will be sponsoring a planned giving program being held on September 16, 1999. The intent was for the Northwest Youth and Family Services to host the program with other non-profit organizations. Councilmember Rem stated that she visited the City of Saint Paul last week and indicated that this City was trying to organize a Countywide Graffiti Task Force. The concern is that when things are targeted for graffiti, no one is sure who has the jurisdiction over the control of this problem and who cleans it up. . . e e ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - AUGUST 30,1999 DRAFT 23 Councilmember Rem stated that she attended the United States Fish and Wildlife Department open house at Bethel College last Tuesday. The Department was looking for comments on their Comprehensive Plan and will be setting up some working groups to address community concerns. Councilmember Rem stated that the Valentine Hills Elementary School has established site committees to follow through with the Bond referendum. She was asked to sit on the Committee and indicated that she will be involved. Mayor Probst referred to the non-agenda item regarding the Cable Commission. The information had indicated that certain issues are not being resolved to anyone's satisfaction. The Cable Commission is choosing to fund part of their 2000 budget by depleting the reserves by 27 percent. Mayor Probst asked Mr. Post to invite a representative from the Cable Commission to the next City Council meeting to discuss this issue. With regard to the language that the Staff received from Shoreview on the electric fence, Mayor Probst asked the Council to direct staff to include this language in the appropriate place in the City Code. Mayor Probst stated that the north water tower passed inspection and commended Mr. Stafford for his efforts. Mayor Probst stated that the I35W Corridor Coalition meeting was a good session, however, there had not been any heart-to-heart discussions with the City. He indicated that on Wednesday, September I, 1999, there will be a meeting of Mayors to discuss what happens next. He offered to present the City Council with an update at the next Council meeting. This will lead the City to a meeting with the I35W Corridor Coalition Board and the full Metropolitan Council. This will be an opportunity to discuss what the Coalition is about and where to go from here. Mayor Probst stated that this may be an opportune time for the City of Arden Hills to forward a project. At the last 135W Corridor Coalition meeting there had been no consensus of what should be done with the triangle project. The project did get a favorable review, however, it did not receive an endorsement. Mayor Probst requested feed back from the City Council regarding the interest that had been expressed in acquiring what is now railroad property on the south end of Perry Park. He felt that if that parcel was actually available, the City should pursue the possibility of the railroad giving this property to the City as an expansion of the park. Although, he did not believe that the railroad would be willing to give the property away free of charge. Councilmember Aplikowski stated that this possibility should be investigated and agreed that the property would not be given away. Mayor Probst requested confirmation that the property was currently on the market. He noted that when Perry Park was redeveloped, the City had made inquiries and at that time the railroad was not ready to do anything. Mr. Post stated it was his understanding that things have changed since the Perry Park redevelopment and he had not yet followed up on this information. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - AUGUST 30,1999 DRJ~FT 24 Councilmember Larson hoped that the City would pursue the opportunity to obtain this land. He .- felt that the property was in a good location being that it was near Tony Schmidt Park and would .., fit in with future City plans. Mayor Probst stated that he was pleased that Mr. Stafford had been able to solve the marking protection problem on LakeValentine Road at a reasonable cost. Mr. Stafford stated that the Public Works Department had gone directly to 3M for the materials and was able to save some money. Mayor Probst noted that the little league team made it to the regional championships and suggested that the City present the team with a plaque. ADJOURN MOTION: Councilmember Larson moved and Councilmember Aplikowski seconded a motion to adjourn the meeting at 10:25 p.m. The motion carried unanimously (5- 0). Dennis Probst Mayor Terrance R.

Absent were Commissioners Duchenes and Galatowitsch. Also present were Councilmember Lois Rem, Associate Planner Nancy Randall and Interim City Administrator Terrance Post, and Recording Secretary Lori Rolfson. APPROVAL OF MINUTES FROM PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD ON AUGUST 4. 1999 Commissioner Sand moved, seconded by Commissioner Nelson to approve the August 4, 1999 minutes. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). Ms. Randall stated that Planning Case #99-12, Midway National Bank, had been withdrawn from this evening's meeting agenda. PLANNING CASE #99-04 - CITY OF ARDEN HILLS - NEIGHBORHOOD BUSINESS DISTRICT - ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT - PUBLIC HEARING Chair Erickson gave a brief explanation of the public hearing process to the members of the audience and opened the public hearing at 7:35 p.m. Ms. Randall explained that the City of Arden Hills requested approval of a new Neighborhood Business Zoning District to add to the Zoning Ordinance. In the process of evaluating the Comprehensive Plan, seven properties were reviewed and stated in the Cornprehensive Land Use Plan as Neighborhood Business. Over the last few months the Planning Commission has reviewed these seven properties as possible sites to be rezoned as Neighborhood Business District. The seven properties will be reviewed for rezoning at a later date. The Comprehensive Plan states the following regarding Neighborhood Business: "Neighborhood Business designates small, isolated areas for neighborhood commercial land uses when they are compatible with surrounding residential uses. Commercial uses that are high traffic generators, noise generators or otherwise not compatible with residential neighborhoods, are inappropriate. Typically, Neighborhood Business areas will be located in intersections or nodes that are on the ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION - SEPTEMBER I, 1999 DR AFT 2 , edge of residential areas, are not desirable sites for housing or have traditionally been occupied a with neighborhood services." _ The following seven sites were previously identified as possible sites to be rezoned to the Neighborhood Business District: . The northeast corner of County Road E and Old Highway 10, currently the Lindey's Restaurant. . The northeast corner of County Road D and Cleveland Avenue, which is vacant. . The north corner of County Road D, New Brighton Road and Lake Joharma Boulevard, which was a vacant coffee shop and had recently reopened as a coffee shop. . The northeast corner of County Road E2 and New Brighton Road, currently the Baptist Conference Council and Ramsey County Library. . The southeast corner of County Road E2 and 1-35W, which is vacant. . Highway 96 west of Ham line Avenue, which contains the Old City Hall, the current City Maintenance Facility and a Daycare. . 4703 Highway 10, the Big Ten Supper Club. At this time staff was asking that the Zoning Ordinance be amended to include a new Neighborhood Business District. Once the District has been established, staff may start the process of rezoning some of the above parcels. There were three items within the Ordinance that the Planning Commission had requested the a modification of or clarification about. They included restrictions on liquor stores and taverns, - changing the Land Use Zoning District Chart to include financial institutions and services, and verifying the height limitation of pedestal lighting. The proposed Ordinance has been changed in Section A, 2, C to include the language "Automobile related, liquor stores and taverns would not be allowed in the Neighborhood Business District." The Land Use Zoning District Chart has been modified to include financial institutions and services as a permitted use. Staff determined there was not a clear-cut definition for pedestal lighting; however, the typical height used would be 14 feet. Staff recommended the proposed Ordinance be modified to state: "Security and parking lot lighting shall be on pedestals not to exceed 14 feet in height." Ms. Randall advised that staff recommended approval of Planning Case 99-04, Amendment to the Zoning Ordinance adding a Neighborhood Business District. rfthe Plarming Commission makes a recommendation on this Plarming Case, then it would heard at the Monday, September 27, 1999, regular meeting of the City Council. Ms. Kathy Arth, 1373 Arden View Drive, stated that she lives in the townhouses south of the Highway 96 and Hamline A venue site. She would prefer that this site be zoned Residential. She e indicated that the proposed Neighborhood Business Zoning District was being presented as a more restrictive District. However, there was nothing in the B-1 Zoning District that allowed traffic past 11 :00 p.m. Mr. Ringwald had informed her that a club would be allowed in the B-1 rating which was required to be nonprofit. She was not aware of any bar that does not operate . e e e ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION - SEPTEMBER 1, 1999 DRAFT 3 for profit. Additionally, retail sales and services are not allowed in the B-1 Zoning District, which are generally open unti111 :00 p.m. She expressed concern that the City would be encouraging the construction of a strip mall on the site, and she would not want her view to be the rear of a strip mall. Mr. Grant Lindemer, Owner ofLindey's Restaurant, stated that from reading newspaper articles, and listening to certain discussions, it seemed to him that what the City was attempting to do was solve problems with existing parcels that are underutilized due to setback requirements. With regard to the County Branch Library and the Baptist Council Offices, Mr. Lindemer agreed that these uses were inappropriately zoned. He believed, however, that to solve several isolated problems so broadly may include certain properties or requirements which may not need to be included. Mr. Lindemer referred to Section A, Subsection 3, of the proposed Ordinance which stated: "However, this ordinance specifies additional requirements for restaurants. This use can, if unrestricted, place unacceptable levels of traffic on these sites and streets that would negatively impact adjacent residential uses." Mr. Lindemer stated that he had done some research with the Ramsey County Traffic Department and presented the Planning Commission with average daily traffic counts for the intersection of County Road E and Old Highway 10. He noted that Lindey's Restaurant has been in business for the last 38 years and the site predates the neighborhood. He felt that ifhis establishment was objectionable, the neighborhood would not have grown around it. With regard to the prohibition ofliquor stores, Mr. Lindemer stated that his establishment had operated a package bottle shop from 1965 through 1979. He experience had been similar to comer grocery stores and other small neighborhood stores, in that these small businesses have been a dying thing and the market place has decided that they are not viable. Consumers prefer to shop at the larger retail establishments. To limit the use on the vacant parcels to Neighborhood Commercial may make these sites unable to sustain. Mr. James Welsh, Big 10 Supper Club, asked what the zoning was for the Arden Manor Mobile Home Park. Ms. Randall stated that the mobile home park was zoned R-3. Mr. Welsh asked if this sort of use would be allowed in the Neighborhood Business Zoning District. Ms. Randall stated that a mobile home park would be classified as a residential use. Mr. Welsh noted that his establishment was located on Highway 10 which will always be a busy highway. He did not feel that the traffic issue in the Ordinance related to his business. Mr. Gary Borg, 1900 County Road E2, stated that his primary concern was for the County Road E2 and New Brighton Road site and he did not understand the concept being proposed for this property. He stated that the Library and Baptist Council were appropriate uses within a neighborhood and have been in place longer than he has lived in Arden Hills. He felt that the signage and screening were appropriate and was concerned that rezoning the property could open the site up to other development. He asked why the City was proposing to rezone this site. Chair Erickson stated that the seven parcels were identified as possible Neighborhood Business sites as part ofthe overall Comprehensive Plan update. These seven properties mayor may not all be rezoned. The overall intent was to create a zoning category that more closely fits the parcels that have been identified since some ofthe sites would be difficult to develop or redevelop with the current zoning. ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION - SEPTEMBER 1,1999 T 4 . Mr. Borg could not understand the reason behind rezoning the Baptist Council and Library site, e unless either of the properties were going to be sold. There would be uses allowed in the proposed Neighborhood Business District that the neighborhood would find objectionable. Ms. Betty Schotour stated she lives in the townhouses on the south side of Highway 96. She understood that the old City Hall site was zoned B-1 and it was her belief that this property must be difficult to develop as nothing has been proposed since she moved into her townhouse. Her concern with the change of zoning was the change in setback from 100 feet to 30 feet which would be problematic for some townhouse owners. Behind her home is a nice stand of trees and she wondered if the Planning Commission had considered the possibility of these trees being removed if the property were rezoned. Chair Erickson closed the public hearing at 7:55 p.m., as no one else wished to address the Planning Commission. In terms of the actual rezoning process, Chair Erickson asked staff if the City would undertake this as a next step, or would the rezoning occur as proposals came forward for the identified parcels. Ms. Randall stated that the rezoning could be accomplished either way. It was her understanding that these parcels will be reviewed; however, she did not believe that all seven sites would be considered at the same time. Any recommendation would be presented at a public hearing to the Planning Commission and forwarded to the City Council. At that time the City will have a definite ordinance with specific parameters. It has not been determined that any of a the seven sites will definitely be rezoned, they have only been identified as sites that could _ possibly be more appropriate as Neighborhood Business. Chair Erickson stated that any proposals on any of the seven sites would need to follow the Comprehensive Plan and be zoned to match the designation in the Comprehensive Plan. He stated that good comments had been received this evening that will be followed up on. He indicated that the primary reason for moving forward with the new Zoning District was to address certain parcels that had zoning restrictions which made it nearly impossible to improve. With regard to the concerns of Mr. Lindemer, Chair Erickson stated that there would not be action against any established parcels if they were rezoned and did not conform to the new zoning. The only issues that the new zoning would address would be in the event that an existing business proposed to expand. He asked if the proposed ordnance had mechanisms built in to allow the special review of existing conditions. Ms. Randall stated that an existing business would be reviewed if the owner proposed an expansion. This review would be under the current ordinance and would not be required to remove or change any existing conditions. If the exiting building location caused a problem, there may be a hardship for a variance. There have been other cases where Zoning Ordinance setback requirements have been changed and the City has allowed some variances due to these changes in the Zoning Ordinance. Chair Erickson noted that Subsection 3, a, restricted restaurants to 3,000 gross square feet. He asked how this would effect the Big 10 Supper Club and Lindey's Restaurant which are both over 3,000 gross square feet. Ms. Randall stated that these businesses would be considered non- conforming uses; however, they could continue with their current practices. e . e e e ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION - SEPTEMBER 1, 1999 DRAFT 5 Commissioner Rye requested confirmation that, if a non-conforming use wished to expand, a variance would have to be applied for. Ms. Randall stated that this was correct. Mr. Elwood Caldwell, 1457 Arden View Drive, asked what would happen if Lindey's Restaurant were to bum down, under the current zoning or under the proposed Neighborhood Business District. Ms. Randall stated that ifthe business were to burn down entirely, it would have to be rebuilt under the current ordinance. Chair Erickson noted that a restaurant would be a special use under the Neighborhood Business Zoning District. Commissioner Rye agreed that, if the site were rezoned and later burnt down, there would be a shift in what would be allowed to be rebuilt. Mr. Caldwell pointed out that the Neighborhood Business Zoning District allows a variety uses that are not permitted under the B-2 Zoning District. Chair Erickson stated that the real challenge will come in the process of rezoning. The proposed Zoning Ordinance works well for approximately half of the identified sites and needs to be made to work with the existing businesses. He indicated that it was the intent of the City to allow or encourage the continuation of neighborhood business opportunities which add to the charm of the community. This was to protect neighborhoods from businesses being sold and redeveloped to a more intense use. This scenario may be what triggers when the rezoning actually occurs. He suggested that the sites could be identified but not rezoned until there is a request to change or rebuild. Commissioner Rye stated that when rezoning occured it normally was due to a request from a property owner. He asked how the process would work when a business wished to change uses. He noted that it was unlikely that a business owner would petition for a more restrictive Zoning District. Ms. Randall explained that, with many of these sites, if a property owner proposed to develop a site under the current zoning, there would have to be either a change in the Land Use Plan or the zoning must be changed to match the Land Use Plan. At this point the zoning and the Land Use Plan do not match for all seven sites. Once the Neighborhood Business District is created, the next step will be to work toward conformity between the Future Land Use Plan and the Zoning Map. Commissioner Nelson asked if under the Neighborhood Business Zoning District restaurants would be allowed to serve alcohol. Ms. Randall stated that the Zoning District would prohibit liquor stores and taverns. However, there was nothing prohibiting the sale ofliquor as an accessory to a restaurant. A restaurant would not be allowed to have a bar. Commissioner Nelson pointed out that both the Big 10 Supper Club and Lindey's Restaurant have bars. He asked what the approximate square footage was of these establishments. Mr. Lindemer stated that Lindey's Restaurant is 3,650 square feet. He indicated that many customers say that one nice thing about his restaurant is that it never changes. He intends to remain in the current location and has no intention of changing the use of the land. Commissioner Nelson noted that one intent for the Neighborhood Business Zoning District was to protect neighborhoods in the future when things do change. Commissioner Sand asked if the 3,650 square feet of Lindey's restaurant was the total gross usable space or just the foot print of the building. Mr. Lindemer stated that the square footage was the foot print of the building. Commissioner Sand confirmed that there was more usable space than 3,650 square feet. Mr. Lindemer stated that this would be true if the storage and office space was included. Commissioner Sand stated that the Planning Commission may wish ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION - SEPTEMBER 1, 1999 DRAFT 6 to define whether the square footage should be the footprint of the facility or the total usable space. e Chair Erickson asked if there would be anything else in the proposed Ordnance that was not compatible with the Big 10 Supper Club or Lindey's Restaurant. Ms. Randall stated that the setbacks may be an issue for both sites as well as hours of operation for the Big 10 Supper Club. These items would all be looked at during the rezoning process. Commissioner Nelson asked if the ordinance included a definition for taverns. Ms. Randall stated that the definition was not included. With regard to the concem that the City was encouraging the Highway 96 and Hamline Avenue site to be developed into a strip mall, Commissioner Baker noted that certain limitations within the ordinance may not allow this sort of development. He asked staff to comment on whether or not a strip mall could be developed on this site. Ms. Randall stated that the 3,000 gross square feet would not allow one long strip building. She noted that the site in question was a long strip ofland that could be subdivided and developed under the Neighborhood Business Zoning District with a couple of different uses. Commissioner Baker noted that the Neighborhood Business Zoning District required that the same building materials be used on all sides of a building, not just the front. Ms. Randall added that the current zoning ordinance, which allows a 100 foot setback, does not require landscaping or berming. With the Neighborhood Business District, a developer would be required to include buffering within the setback area with berming, fencing or landscaping. e Commissioner Nelson stated that he could understand why some of the property owners and neighbors wished to remain with their current zoning. Additionally, some of the properties would become nonconforming if changed to Neighborhood Business. Commissioner Rye pointed out that the Planning Commission had previously discussed whether or not the Big 10 Supper Club or Lindey's Restaurant should be included in the new Zoning District. Commissioner Sand stated that it may be particularly important for these two sites to be considered for rezoning due to what could be built in the future if the current businesses were to no longer exist. There were many intense uses permitted in the B-2 Zoning District that are not permitted in Neighborhood Business. He did have concerns for the Baptist Conference and Library site. These were the only two nonresidential uses in this neighborhood and they fit into the neighborhood well. He pointed out that if the zoning were to remain R-1, there would have to be a change in the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. Ms. Randall stated that another concern in the future may be, if the Library or Baptist Conference were to no longer exist, the buildings were not designed for single family residential use. A new owner may wish to have the property rezoned to allow for a wider variety of uses. Although the City has the option to determine which zone it feels the property best fits, it may be easier if the future zoning requirements of a property were stated up front. Commissioner Sand asked how the library was defined under the current use definitions. Ms. Randall stated that the library would fall under the public use category. Commissioner Sand asked if this would also apply to the Baptist Conference. Ms. Randall stated that this was correct. . e . . ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION - SEPTEMBER 1, 1999 DRAFT 7 Commissioner Sand wished to make it clear that the Planning Commission was not rezoning any properties at this meeting. The intent ofthis Planning Case was to establish the new Neighborhood Business Zoning District that mayor may not apply later to individual parcels. Commissioner Sand moved, seconded by Commissioner Rye to recommend approval of Planning Case #99-04, amendment to the Zoning Ordinance adding a Neighborhood Business District. Commissioner Nelson asked if the ordinance should include the definition of a tavern. Ms. Randall stated this term may be defined under the State liquor license requirements. Referring to the new language restricting liquor stores and tavems, Commissioner Rye requested clarification of what was meant by "Automobile related." Ms. Randall stated that this limitation was separate from liquor stores and referred to any sort of drive thru operation. Commissioner Nelson asked if this was defined in the ordinance. Ms. Randall stated that it was not. Commissioner Sand suggested that this sentence be changed to read: "Automobile related businesses, liquor stores and taverns would not be allowed..." Commissioner Nelson suggested that the restriction on liquor stores and taverns be further defined. He felt that restaurants should be allowed to serve liquor. Commissioner Sand suggested that if there was a State Statute that defines taverns, the ordinance could rely on that. Ms. Randall stated that she would verify whether or not there was a State Statute definition for taverns. Commissioner Sand amended his motion to state that the recommendation for approval was conditioned on the word "business" being added after the word "related" in Section A, 2, c. And that staff further define taverns, either to be consistent with existing State Law definitions, or to establish its own definition for the purposes of this Zoning Ordinance. Ms. Randall confirmed that the intent of the motion was to allow restaurants to serve liquor but not to operate a tavern. Commissioner Sand stated that this was correct. Commissioner Baker indicated the primary intent was to allow restaurants that serve some liquor and not bars that serve some food. The Planning Commission concurred. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). This Planning Case will be reviewed at the Monday, September 27, 1999, City Council meeting. PLANNING CASE #99-14 - TIMOTHY STOWMAN -1191 CARLSON DRIVE- VARIANCE - PUBLIC HEARING Chair Erickson opened the public hearing at 8:32 p.m. Ms. Randall explained that the applicant was requesting approval of a side yard setback variance (5 feet proposed, when 10 feet is required) for an attached garage and living space addition to a single family lot zoned R-l. ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION - SEPTEMBER 1, 1999 DRAFT 8 The applicant currently has a one car tuck-under garage 15 feet by 24 feet (360 square feet). The applicant was proposing a 9 foot 6 inch by 24 foot (228 square feet) garage addition, thereby e providing the applicant with a 24 foot 6 inch by 24 foot (588 square foot) attached garage. Secondly, the applicant was requesting a 9 foot 6 inch by 24 foot (228 square foot) addition to increase the bedroom space above the garage. The applicant has evaluated other locations for the garage and home addition; however, this was the only location they felt would work with the existing home. A new garage would fit on the east side of the home; however, there is a steep slope from the street and an existing deck. Staff had found that the City has made the findings in numerous variance requests that the provisions of a two car garage on a property provides for a reasonable use of that property. The home already has two standard bedrooms. The home could be expanded four feet six inches without needing a variance. This would allow for the two bedrooms to be expanded. The bedroom to the north could also be expanded out the back of the home. Although these spaces may not be as large as the applicant desires, they do provide for a reasonable use of the property in relation to other homes in the City. The proposed garage addition does not provide for more room than a standard two car garage. The house addition could be reduced on the west side and expanded without a variance to the north. e Ms. Randall advised that staff recommended approval of Planning Case 99-14, side yard setback variance (5 feet proposed, when 10 feet is required) for an attached garage based on the "Findings - Side Yard Setback Variance" section of the staff report dated September 1, 1999, subject to the condition that the second level house addition only be constructed in the buildable area and not extend into the 10 foot setback area. If the Planning Commission makes a recommendation on this Planning Case, then it would be heard at the Monday, September 13, 1999, regular meeting of the City Council. Chair Erickson stated that two letters had been received by the City in support of the proposal. Commissioner Sand requested clarification of the intent of staff s statement that the second level house addition only be constructed within the buildable area and not extend into the 10 foot setback area. He asked if the concern was for the roof overhang extending into the setback area. It did not appear to him that the house walls themselves would extend into the setback area. Ms. Randall explained that staff was proposing that the second level addition only extend to the 10 foot setback line which would still allow the overhang. However, the second level wall would not line up with the garage. Commissioner Sand asked how much the house would extend to the west with staffs recommendation. Ms. Randall stated that the house could extend four and one-half feet and still maintain a 10 foot setback. Commissioner Sand confirmed that this was approximately half of what the applicant was proposing. Ms. Randall stated this was true.. . Mr. Timothy Stowman, 1191 Carlson Drive, stated that one situation he had not discuss with staff was that the properties to his rear and east are at least four feet above the grade of his e e . [,~'"'t" 'j' ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION - SEPTEMBER I, 1999 9 property. His property receives all the drainage from other properties and remains fairly wet which would make extending the house to the rear problematic. Mr. Stowman stated that he had considered several other options for an addition and chose the proposed design as it made the most sense for the current layout of the home. The other side of the home would have been difficult because there was a 10 foot wide addition without a full basement underneath, as well as a steep slope. He felt that if he were to construct his addition and garage as recommended by staff the appearance would not be good. He would prefer that the sight line remain a straight line. Mr. Stowman stated that his home was small compared with others in the neighborhood, at only 920 square feet. If allowed to improve his home he hoped to bring his property value up to comparable with the neighborhood. Ms. Shirley Debuke, 1201 Carlson Drive, stated that she has lived at this address for the past 27 years. Her property is to the west of the applicant's and there was 45 feet between her house and the applicant. The proposed addition would not encroach on her property at all. The applicant had expressed an interest to her in moving to a larger home and she suggested he add onto his home. She would support any variance request by the applicant and would like them to remain in the neighborhood as they are nice neighbors. Chair Erickson closed the public hearing at 8:46 p.m., as no one else wished to address the Planning Commission. Chair Erickson asked Ms. Debuke on which side ofthe home her garage was located. Ms. Debuke stated that her garage was on the west side ofthe property. Chair Erickson noted that the Planning Commission has heard many other cases for variances which stem from the single car versus two car garage issue, which has been established as a hardship. Chair Erickson agreed with the applicant that the addition to the upper level would be better balanced if allowed to line up with the garage. He indicated that he was inclined to approve both requests as proposed by the applicant. He noted that the reason he had asked about the layout of the home to the west was that the Planning Commission must consider not only the current situation but also what could happen in the future. If the garage and addition were allowed, it would be unlikely that the home would be expanded any further. Commissioner Nelson asked how many other homes in this neighborhood have less than a 10 foot setback. Ms. Randall stated that most homes that appear close to the property line most likely just meet the 10 foot setback requirement. There was one home on Carlson that appeared to have less than a 10 foot setback. Commissioner Sand asked if the property to the east ofthe applicant was vacant. Mr. Stowman stated that this lot has been developed. Commissioner Baker stated that given the special conditions that there was no other viable area to expand the garage, the drainage issues in the rear, and the support of the neighboring property owners, he would support the proposal as requested. ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION - SEPTEMBER 1, 1999 DRAFT 10 Commissioner Baker moved, seconded by Commissioner Nelson to recommend approval e of Planning Case 99-14, side yard setback variance (5 feet proposed when 10 feet is required) for an attached garage and living space addition. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). This Planning Case will be reviewed at the Monday, September 13, 1999, City Council meeting. PLANNING CASE #99-15 - GUIDANT (CPO - 4100 HAMLINE AVENUE NORTH- PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT AMENDMENT - PUBLIC HEARING Chair Erickson opened the public hearing at 8:55 p.m. Ms. Randall explained that the applicant was proposing to update their Master Plan to include an auditorium addition to Building E and D. Secondly, the applicant was requesting approval of an amendment to their previously approved planned unit development to allow for the expansion of Building E to include an auditorium at their campus which is located at 4100 Hamline Avenue. The applicant proposed, and was granted approval, to expand onto Building E due to the growth ofthe research and development area ofthe company. At the time, a smaller auditorium was planned inside the expansion. After further review of their needs and layout of the proposed expansion, they discovered that they would better benefit from a larger auditorium linked to the research and development area. The use of the auditorium will be for internal meetings primarily . conducted every month discussing development or new products. The Master Plan would meet the parking requirements if fully developed. The applicant has taken steps by submitting the required paperwork to Ramsey County for the combination ofthe campus lot to the lot they own to the north. The auditorium proposal is short 29 parking spaces. The applicant was requesting these spaces be shown as proof of parking and not be constructed at this time. The applicant has stated the use of the auditorium to be internal use thus, extra parking spaces will not be needed. Staff was recommending that the 29 parking spaces shown as proof of parking be provided ifthe use of the auditorium changes. The exterior of the proposed auditorium addition was designed to match the existing exterior of Building E. It would meet the zoning ordinance height, floor area ratio, lot coverage and landscape lot area criteria. The applicant was proposing to add a fence and gates at the entrance to Building D. The fencing and gates will match the existing fences and gates on the campus. This was to allow the applicant to enclose the loading dock area if needed. The proposed master plan would meet all setback requirements with the exception of Building H. This setback will increase when the property to the north is combined. As evident by reviewing the parking capacity after the expansion to Building E, or reviewing the master plan, the need for a parking structure is not too far in the future, given the growth experienced by the applicant. The applicant and the City will need to be mindful ofthis fact as future development scenarios are proposed on the campus. . The applicant was not showing any modifications to their existing signage as a result of this application. The applicant was proposing one light pole along the sidewalk entering the . e . ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION - SEPTEMBER 1, 1999 DRAFT 11 proposed auditorium. The light fixtures will be of the same nature as those currently existing on the campus. The rooftop equipment will be on the previously approved expansion to Building E and will be screened. Ms. Randall advised that staff recommended approval of Planning Case 99-15, Master PlanIPlanned Unit Development amendment, conditioned on: 1. The 29 parking spaces shown as proof of parking be provided if the use of the auditorium changes. 2. Provide erosion control in the area that will be disturbed. 3. Lighting meet the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance Section V, E, 3, a, b, c, andd. 4. Rice Creek Watershed District Approval. With regard to condition number four, Ms. Randall stated that the applicant had indicated that they have received the Rice Creek Watershed District approval. If the Planning Commission makes a recommendation on this Planning Case, then it would be heard at the September 13,1999, regular meeting of the City Council. Chair Erickson stated that given the fact that the applicant will be combining the property to the north with the campus, there should be adequate proof of parking. He asked how the use of the auditorium would be monitored. Ms. Randall stated that, although the campus was private property, regular complaints about parking would trigger inspections and the requirement to construct the proof of parking areas. Mr. Dave Reimers, Guidant Corporation, stated that before parking becomes an issue, the company hears from the employees what is needed. Chair Erickson closed the public hearing at 9:07 p.m., as no one else wished to address the Planning Commission. Commissioner Rye moved, seconded by Commissioner Sand to recommend approval of Planning Case 99-15, Master Plan/Planned Unit Development amendment, conditioned on: 1. The 29 parking spaces shown as proof of parking be provided if the use of the auditorium changes. 2. Provide erosion control in the area that will be disturbed. 3. Lighting meet the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance Section V, E, 3, a, b, c, and d. 4. Rice Creek Watershed District Approval. Commissioner Nelson asked if the parking would still be short by 29 spaces when the lots to the north and east were included. Ms. Randall stated that the applicant is not planning to construct the parking lot to the north. The site will be short 29 spaces when the proposed auditorium and addition to building E is completed. Commissioner Nelson asked when the lot to the east would be constructed. Ms. Randall stated that this lot would be constructed along with the building once the permit was approved. ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION - SEPTEMBER I, 1999 DRAfT 12 The motion carried unanimously (5-0). . This Planning Case will be reviewed at the Monday, September 13, 1999, City Council meeting. PLANNING CASE #99-16 - ARDEN MANOR - 4605 NORTH PRIOR AVENUE- SPECIAL USE PERMIT - PUBLIC HEARING Chair Erickson opened the public hearing at 9: 10 p.m. Ms. Randall explained that the applicant was requesting approval of an amended Special Use permit for Arden Manor Mobile Home Park. The mobile home park is located north of Highway 96, west of highway 10, and east ofI35W. Arden Manor is currently operating on a special use permit which was issued in 1971 with Planning Case #71-21. This did not include the already existing (north portion) mobile home park. Several amendments to the special use permit have been approved since; however, they have never included the north portion of the park. R-3 Zoning, the Zoning District of the mobile home park, requires that mobile home parks have a special use permit. Since this portion of the mobile home park was in existence prior to the City Zoning Ordinance, it could exist so long as no modifications were made. Over the years, and last few months, Arden Manor has been taking steps to improve the northern portion of the park by resurfacing the road and removing several aging single wide mobile homes and replacing them with one double wide mobile home for every two single wide homes. e The northern area had a building dividing Banyan Street and Abele Street. This building has since been removed. There was also a mobile home in the center of Abele Street on the west end. This has also been removed. The road width remaining was approximately 70 feet wide. The applicant was proposing to rename the newly resurfaced road Banyan Street. The applicant was proposing to close off the section of road leading from Todd Drive to Abele Street, which has been done, and if approved place a unit in this location. Due to the reduction in overall units staff does not see a concern with adding a unit in the proposed location. Staff would however, request a master plan be created. Because the north portion of the park was not included in the special use permit in the past, there were no site plans available for the area. Due to the changes made over the years, and potential changes with the reconstruction of Highway 96, staff recommended that the applicant work with staff to update the special use permit within the next two years. The applicant was requesting that the north portion of the park be allowed the modifications of the street, as well as replacing the single wides with double wides and adding the additional unit. Upon review, staff felt that these were minor changes to the mobile home park and would be improvements. In the past, parking was allowed on Banyan Street and Abele Street. These are . very wide and accommodate on-street parking. Staff would recommend some striping be incorporated to guide parking and driving directions. The Code requires 24 foot drive lanes and 9 foot by 18 foot parking stalls. The end of the cul-de-sac was wide enough to turn around if . e . ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION - SEPTEMBER 1, 1999 UN.At" '13 cars are not parked on the street. Staff recommended no parking on the end and sides of the cul- de-sac to allow for traffic turnaround. Ms. Randall advised that staff recommended approval of Planning Case 99-16, Special Use Permit, to modify the north portion of the Arden Manor Mobile Home Park subject to the following conditions: 1. The applicant work with the City to update the special use permit for the entire park within the next two years. Ms. Randall stated the reason for the two year time limit was the reconstruction of Highway 96, which may effect some of the units on this side of the park. 2. "No Parking" signs be placed on the end of Banyan Street and along the sides 100 feet from the end of the street. 3. Banyan Street be marked to show parking and drive lanes to be approved by the City Engineer. If the Planning Commission makes a recommendation on this Planning Case, and no additional documentation was needed from the applicant, then it would be heard at the September 27,1999, regular meeting of the City Council. With regard to condition number two, Commissioner Sand assumed that this referred to the west end of Banyan Street. Ms. Randall stated that this was correct. Commissioner Sand asked how parking was handled at the east end of Banyan Street. Ms. Randall stated that she was not sure, however, she did not believe that parking was an issue in this area. Commissioner Sand assumed that the intent was to allow parking all along Banyan Street, not just the west half. Ms. Randall stated that some existing units may not need on-street parking, however, the street was wide enough that parking could be provided all along the street. Commissioner Sand noted the drawing indicates that Abele Street is fairly wide, except it narrows where it turns into Banyan Street. Ms. Randall agreed. She stated that side street parking was currently allowed all along this street. Commissioner Sand confirmed that there were no problems with emergency vehicles getting through the streets with on-street parking. Ms. Randall stated that this has not been a concern. Mr. Frances Husnic, Arden Manor Mobile Home Park, stated that the drawing presented to the Planning Commission was not accurate and presented them with new drawings ofthe north portion of the park, before and after reconstruction. He explained some of the improvements made to the area and stated that there was no need for Abele Street to remain, as Banyan Street was 60 feet wide. The intent was to design on-street parking for the north and south side of the street. Mr. Husnic expressed concern for being in violation if the north portion of the park was included in the special use permit as any homes that were removed would not be allowed to be replaced. Chair Erickson asked Ms. Randall to explain what portion of the mobile home park was included in the special use permit and how the special use permit would effect the north portion of the park. Ms. Randall demonstrated on the drawing the amount of the southern portion included in the special use permit. She believed that the applicant was objecting to being required by the U~"...='\..' , ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION - SEPTEMBER 1,1999 14 special use permit to replace two single wide mobile homes with one double wide home. The applicant has been following this procedure in some areas, but did not want to be required to do . this in all areas. Mr. Husnic noted that the older area ofthe mobile home park contains smaller lots. When only one single wide home is removed, a double wide home often times will not fit on one smaller lot. Chair Erickson stated that he still did not understand the objection to incorporating the entire park under one special use permit. Ms. Randall stated that applicant was concerned that the current lot sizes would not meet the requirements of the special use permit. She indicated that this was one issue that needed to be reviewed for the entire park. Over the years many small changes have occurred. Many of these changes have been positive, but the City needs to know the current status of the park. When special use permits are amended several times, eventually all the amendments must be looked at as a whole in order to determine what modifications are required. There were many updates to the mobile home park that have not been updated in the special use permit and this must be amended to accurately depict the current status ofthe park. There also has never been a master plan for the mobile home park. Ms. Randall stated that it was not staffs intent to restrict the applicant from laying out the lots and installing the double wide homes as he wishes. The intent was that a great deal of changes have already been made and staff wanted to start the process of incorporating these changes into the special use permit. This may include changes to the special use permit to allow for different lot sizes between the northern and southern sections of the park. Most new residents of mobile home parks want double wide homes and this needs to be considered when older home . deteriorate. Chair Erickson noted that the recommendations from staff dealt mostly with the parking and turn around at the end of Banyan Street. Beyond this was simply that the applicant work with the City over the next two years to update the special use permit. Ms. Randall stated that it would benefit the applicant to create a flexible special use permit that would allow the applicant to remove the deteriorating homes and replace them with new homes throughout the park. Chair Erickson asked what the current requirements were for cul-de-sacs. Ms. Randall explained that cul-de-sacs require a 60-foot radius. She suggested that the applicant could paint the radius. Chair Erickson noted that the intent of requiring this turn around was to ensure access by emergency vehicles and other large vehicles. Commissioner Rye asked if the park's utilities were public or private. Mr. Husnic stated that he was attached to City utilities and pays the same as a resident for water and sewer. Commissioner Sand noted that the northern area being discussed was depicted differently on the drawing than what staff had demonstrated earlier. He asked if there was some way to define exactly what was contained in the northern portion for the purposes of the special use permit. Ms. Randall stated that the northern portion being discussed was an area not covered by the current special use permit and there are several different maps of what has been in this location over the years. . Chair Erickson closed the public hearing at 9:36 p.m., as no one else wished to address the Planning Commission. . . . ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION - SEPTEMBER 1,1999 DRAFT 15 Commissioner Baker asked what the total size of the mobile home park was. Ms. Randall stated that the mobile home park was 51.63 acres in size. Commissioner Baker asked how many total units there currently were in the park. Mr. Husnic stated that there were currently 284 units within the park. Commissioner Sand asked how many homes may be removed with the reconstruction of Highway 96. Mr. Husnic stated that this was uncertain until the design of the highway was determined. He felt that anywhere from six to 14 units could be lost. Commissioner Nelson asked how the City will enforce the update ofthe special use permit within the next two years lfthe mobile home park was not in conformance with the special use permit, this would be a violation ofthe City Code. The two year time limit had been established with some parameters. Once the discussions reach a conclusion regarding Highway 96, then staff can be more aware of what homes would be removed from the park. At this point the special use permit can be updated. Commissioner Rye moved, seconded by Commissioner Sand to recommend approval of Planning Case 99-16, Special Use Permit, to modify that portion of the Arden Manor Mobile Home Park that is currently not included in the special use permit, conditioned on: 1. The applicant work with the City to update the special use permit for the entire park within the next two years. "No Parking" signs be placed on the west end of Banyan Street and along the sides 100 feet from the end of the street. Banyan Street be marked to show parking and drive lanes to be approved by the City Engineer. 2. 3. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). This Planning Case will be reviewed at the Monday, September 13, 1999, City Council meeting. Commissioner Rye asked how much a special use permit costs. Ms. Randall stated that there was a $250 initial fee. However, this rate can rise, depending upon any additional engineering and attorney fees which may be incurred. Commissioner Rye asked if there was an upper limit to the special use permit fees. Ms. Randall stated that there were not. PLANNING CASE #99-17 - GmDANT (CPO - 4354-4396 ROUND LAKE ROAD - SITE PLAN REVIEW - PUBLIC HEARING Chair Erickson opened the public hearing at 9:42 p.m. Ms. Randall explained that the applicant was requesting approval of a site plan to allow for a 12 foot 9 and one-half inch by 4 foot 3 inch generator for their facility located at 4354-4369 Round Lake Road. The City Council approved a request for a site plan review for an office/warehouse building with Planning Case #86-15. Guidant utilizes a portion of the building for its shipping and receiving. ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION - SEPTEMBER 1, 1999 DR 16 The generator was proposed to be 6 foot 7 inches tall and setback from the building 10 feet. The generator would be used during power outages and once a month for preventive maintenance. . The Zoning Ordinance states that screening shall be provided where mechanical operating equipment is located on the ground or the roof of the premises. The proposed generator has an enclosure to weatherproof and reduce sound. Staffrecommended that a fence or wall be placed along the south side to screen the generator from the neighboring lot. The applicant was proposing an enclosure to reduce the sound and enhance the appearance ofthe generator. The applicant has supplied staff with numbers showing the proposed sound levels and a list of comparable sounds. The numbers of all fall below a diesel truck, which are currently used in this area. The proposed generator would meet the height and setback requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. The applicant was not proposing to modify the landscaping and no grading is needed. The applicant was not proposing to add lighting or modify their existing signage as a result of this application. Ms. Randall noted that this was a multi-tenant building and with Y2K nearing, other similar requests may appear from other businesses. These requests could be handled in a similar way to multiple air conditioning units that are required to be screened. Ms. Randall advised that staff recommended approval of Planning Case 99-17, Site Plan, to allow for the construction ofa 4 foot 3 inch by 12 foot 9 and one-half inch generator with the following conditions: . I. Screening in the form of a fence or wall be placed on the south side of the generator. 2. The generator only be run a maximum of five hours per month for servicing or during power failures. If the Planning Commission makes a recommendation on this Planning Case, then it would be heard at the September 13, 1999, regular meeting of the City Council. Mr. Lauren Rothbauer, Guidant Corporation, stated that his only concern was for the requirement to screen the south side of the generator. He noted that the generator would be 100 feet from the south property line and will appear similar to the Northern States Power transformer located near by. He stated that the generator will be covered by a metal box and appear neat. Commissioner Sand asked where the generator would be installed with relation to the existing transformer and yellow post. Mr. Lawfor stated that the generator would be located to the right of the transformer, ten feet from the building. Commissioner Sand asked how far the transformer was from the building. Ms. Randall stated that the transformer sits closer than 10 feet from the building. Commissioner Sand assumed that the yellow post was to protect the transformer from damage by . vehicles. He asked if the proposed generator would also include this sort of post. Mr. Lawfor stated that it would. . , . e . ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION - SEPTEMBER 1, 1999 Chair Erickson asked ifthere would be offices on adjacent properties that would view the proposed generator. Ms. Randall stated that most adjacent offices were to the west. However, there were some offices to the south that bend partially to the front of the building. Chair Erickson confirmed that since the proposed location of the generator was the loading dock, this area would not be included in the parking count. Ms. Randall stated that this was correct. Chair Erickson stated that the loading dock would be a convenient location for the proposed generator. He noted that if a number of requests were made in the future for generators, certain restrictions will apply. Since the proposed generator will not be viewed from the street, Chair Erickson requested confirmation that screening had been proposed for the building to the south. Ms. Randall stated that this was correct. Mr. Dave Reimers, Guidant Corporation, stated that the company chose a generator that would be enclosed to avoid the need for screening. Commissioner Sand asked ifthe generator was being installed to protect against Y2K concerns. Mr. Riley stated that the generator was being installed for business continuity. The Round Lake facility must remain operational during any power outages. With regard to condition number two, Commissioner Sand stated that the wording suggested that the five hours per month limitation applied to both servicing and power failures. Ms. Randall stated that the limitations were meant to be separate. Commissioner Sand suggested that condition number two be changed to read: "The generator only be run a maximum of five hours per month for servicing or for the duration of any power failure." Commissioner Baker noted that staff was recommending that the enclosed generator be screened, while the transformer was not required to be screened. He asked staffto explain why these two items were being treated differently. Ms. Randall stated that the City Ordinance was vague on whether or not a generator required screening. Commissioner Baker asked, if the Planning Commission were to allow an un-screened generator, would it be setting a precedence for future requests. Ms. Randall stated that qualifiers could be included in this Planning Case that the generator cannot be seen from the roadway and that it was in an appropriate location near other types of operating equipment. Commissioner Baker asked how much the screening would cost if required. Mr. Riley stated that he was not sure the exact cost for screening, however the project was approximately $130,000. Commissioner Baker stated that considering the cost of the project, the screening would seem insignificant. Mr. Riley stated that the concern was that the there would be no value added if unnecessary screening was included. Chair Erickson asked ifthe qualifies for not requiring screening must be included in the motion. Ms. Randall stated that having this information included in the meeting minutes was sufficient. Commissioner Sand noted that because the building forms a C shape, this would help to screen the proposed generator as well. ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION - SEPTEMBER 1, 1999 DR 18 1 Chair Erickson closed the public hearing at 10:00 p.m., as no one else wished to address the Planning Commission. . Commissioner Nelson noted that the proposed generator would stick out 12 feet beyond the 10 foot setback from the building. He asked if the location of the generator being 10 feet away from the building was a minimum Code requirement. Mr. Lawfor stated that the 10 foot distance was based upon the location of the transformer and being able to hook up the heaters. Ms. Randall stated that the City Code required at least a five foot distance from the building. Commissioner Nelson stated that he had concerns regarding the generator effecting the traffic pattern of the loading dock. Mr. Rothbauer stated that the ease of the traffic pattern would be verified prior to installation. Commissioner Nelson asked if it would be possible to require the proposed generator to be no more than five feet from the building. Ms. Randall stated that this would be possible. She suggested verifying the requirements ofthe Building Code prior to the City Council review of the Planning Case. Commissioner Baker suggested a condition of approval be added that the location ofthe proposed generator be confirmed by the Building Inspector. Chair Erickson noted that the proximity to the transformer should be considered as well. He felt that the proposed generator should be placed as close to the building and transformer as needed to allow the generator to be hooked up, while still meeting applicable Code requirements. Commissioner Rye moved, seconded by Commissioner Nelson to recommend approval e of Planning Case 99-17, Site Plan, to allow for the construction of a 4 foot 3 inch by 12 foot 9 and one-half inch generator, conditioned on: 1. The generator only be run a maximum of five hours per month for servicing, or for the duration of any power failure. 2. The generator be placed as close to the building and transformer that the Building Code will allow. 3. A minimum of two protective bollards be placed to protect the generator. Commissioner Sand suggested a condition be added that at least two protective ballards be installed to protect the generator from vehicular damage. Commissioners Rye and Nelson agreed with the amendment to add condition number three to the motion. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). This Planning Case will be reviewed at the Monday, September 13,1999, City Council meeting. COUNCIL REPORT Councilmember Rem turned the floor over to Ms. Randall to present the Staff Report. Ms. Randall stated that she and Mr. Post will be meeting with McCombs, Frank, Roos Associates, Inc. to discuss the Civic Center Zoning District at the TCAAP property. The City used this firm for its Comprehensive Plan update. She invited the Planning Commissioners to . e e . ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION - SEPTEMBER I, 1999 DR4F 19 provide staff with any ideas they may have regarding this issue. She noted that staff will be including this item in a future Planning Commission meeting agenda. Commissioner Sand asked if McCombs, Frank, Roos Associates, Inc. were aware of the concept and overall master planning previously accomplished by another consultant. Ms. Randall stated that the firm was aware of a large portion of this concept. With regard to the Josephine East, LLC development on Shoreline Lane, Ms. Randall stated that the developer had signed the agreement paid for the escrow's and bonds and are ready to proceed with the development. With regard to the Bethel College Planning Case #99-10, Ms. Randall stated that the City Council has approved a site plan with a 25 foot wide driveway with a 90 degree angle turn-in.

Counci1member Rem stated that the City Council had been discussing an Ordinance related to sump pump connections to the sanitary sewer lines. The sump pump inspections have been approved in conjunction with the water meter replacement program. The concern was for increased flow of rain water into the sewage treatment plant and the increased cost in treatment. Councilmember Rem stated the City Council approved an increase in the sanitary sewer repair budget to provide for the lining of sewer lines at the Old Highway 10 and County Road E2 intersection to prevent infiltration. Councilmember Rem stated that the new intersection at West Round Lake Road and Highway 96 will be open in September.

ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION - SEPTEMBER 1, 1999 20 Councilmember Rem stated that codification of the City Codes was nearly completed. With regard to City Task Forces, Councilmember Rem stated that the City Council approved the appointments for the Water Quality Task Force at its August 30,1999 regular meeting. She indicated that Councilmember Aplikowski was anxious to begin the Events Committee to prepare for the town hall meeting and the anniversary party. The Public Works and Park Maintenance Task Forces will be delayed until the professional study is accomplished for the maintenance facility. Councilmember Rem stated that at the last Worksession the City Council discussed the Pavement Management Program. She indicated that there may be some revisions made to this program in terms of what the standard street and curb/gutter requirements will be for the City of Arden Hills. The intent was to allow some flexibility in these standards for the neighborhoods that clearly cannot meet them. Councilmember Rem stated that Mr. Post has requested that the City Council re-prioritize the topics that staff needed to be dealing with. The top priorities identified were: The new City Hall site; TCAAP zoning; codification ofthe City Code; the Public WorkslMaintenance Facility space needs study; the 135W Corridor Coalition; preparation for Truth in Taxation; and the reconfiguration of the Arden Manor Park. Councilmember Rem stated that Mr. Stafford had purchased a Vactor truck to clean out the City grit chambers. Councilmember Rem stated that the Metropolitan Council has an opening on their Parks and Recreation Commission. Councilmember Rem stated that the following action was taken at the August 30, 1999 regular City Council meeting: . Mr. Stafford provided a presentation on the sump pump inspection program and the City Council approved the proposed Ordinance related to these inspections. The Council approved a cost sharing program with Ramsey County for the reconstruction ofthe Cleveland Avenue Bridge. Additionally, the County was requesting that the City of Arden Hills limit the parking on this portion of Cleveland Avenue in order for the County to receive state aid approval of the project. The City Council approved Planning Case #99-13 for Priskies Pet Care to construct the proposed biofilter. Councilmember Rem stated that the only concern for the biofilter was what would happen if someone were to get on top of the wood chips. The City Council was assured that a person could walk across the wood chips. The City Council approved Planning Case #99-11, Aaron and Steve Nelson, 3130 Cleveland Avenue North, Concept Planned Unit Development. Councilmember Rem stated that the City Council had shared the concerns of the Planning Commission regarding the proposed access ramp. The Council approved the concept planned unit development four to one. Councilmember Rem stated that she had been the opposing vote. After having sat through the Planning Commission meeting last month and considering staff's presentation at the City Council meeting, she still had concerns regarding the configuration of the access ramp. . . . 1 . . . , e e e ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION - SEPTEMBER 1, 1999 21 . The City Council selected the firm of McCombs, Frank, Roos Associates, Inc. for planning services in conjunction with the creation of the Civic Center Zoning District for TCAAP. Councilmember Rem stated that two petitions had been received by the City from residents on Old Highway 10. One was a request for a barrier to be constructed along Old Highway 10, if there was to be more work done on this intersection. The other was for the residents to be attached to City water, which these residents had declined several years ago. Councilmember Rem stated that staff will be looking into dates and provisions for the Volunteer Picnic. Councilmember Rem stated that concerns have been raised regarding Highway 96 being brought down to one lane in both directions. Councilmember Rem stated that United States Fish and Wildlife Service, which runs the wildlife refuge at Round Lake, conducted a public meeting regarding their Comprehensive Conservation Plan. Councilmember Rem stated that the local schools were setting up facility committees with residents to work on upcoming projects over the next few years. COMMISSION COMMENTS Commissioner Sand assumed by the fact that an engineering firm had been retained, that legal title for the TCAAP property had been transferred from Congress to the City of Arden Hills. Mr. Post stated that the title transfer had not yet occurred. Commissioner Sand confirmed that neither the City nor Ramsey County have obtained their plots of land yet. Mr. Post stated that this was correct. Commissioner Sand confirmed that by the end of September the new intersection at West Round Lake Road and Highway 96 would be open for use. Mr. Post stated that this intersection would be opened at the end of this week. Commissioner Sand asked if traffic lights would be installed prior to this. Mr. Post stated that the traffic lights were already installed. With regard to the rezoning of the TCAAP property, Commissioner Nelson asked if this would come back to the Planning Commission for review. Ms. Randall stated that the rezoning of the TCAAP property will be brought before the Planning Commission. She indicated that the initial meeting with McCombs, Frank, Roos Associates, Inc. and staff will be Wednesday, September 8, 1999. She anticipated that the case would be brought before the Planning Commission in November. With regard to this evening's discussions ofthe Neighborhood Business Zoning District, Chair Erickson noted that three or four of the identified properties fit easily within the Zoning District, while others were proving to be more difficult. He suggested that the City consider some of the issues brought up this evening that the Ordinance does not specifically address. He wondered if there was a better way to address existing versus vacant parcels. ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION - SEPTEMBER 1, 1999 22 , , t I . . Commissioner Rye expressed concern for the old City Hall site. He felt if the property were to a be sold the current zoning could create a conflict of interest over what sort of development ,., should be allowed. Commissioner Sand felt that the old City Hall site was an ideal area for a Neighborhood Business if done correctly. The site could serve as a nice commercial area for the local homes and townhouses. He felt that the area was important due its proximity to the gateway entry to Arden Hills and the City must be cautious in how this property is allowed to be developed. Mr. Post noted that there was a paper road on this site to the south side ofthe property, extending up to the R -1 zoning, that most people were not aware of. Commissioner Baker requested an update on the status of the impasse between Ramsey County, the Minnesota Department of Transportation and the City of Arden Hills regarding the Highways 10/96 reconstruction. Mr. Post stated that the City had a proposal to offer to the 135W Corridor Coalition that considered the entire triangular area that contains the mobile home park. This would be a large undertaking that would require funding from several sources. The Metropolitan Council will be in New Brighton for their October meeting and this proposal may be presented at that time. Mr. Post stated that if the City's current proposal was not supported, there would be three other options: to rebuild the road as is; to construct a ramp allowing northbound and southbound access from Highway 96; or to construct a frontage road which would set the stage for a future intersection at TCAAP near the Big 10 Supper Club. All these alternatives have plusses and a minuses and the City has presented a preferred plan for a ramp which was rejected by the _ Minnesota Department of Transportation. The State had safety concerns of the weaving patterns that may result from northbound traffic onto Highway 10 from Highway 96 wanting to access the businesses on the west side of Highway 10 at a high speed. Commissioner Baker stated that the worse thing that could happen would be to further divide the communities, remove properties from the tax roll, and then not allow proper access to the local highways. He noted that Highway 118/610 will carry a great deal of traffic in the future. He asked if a traffic projection had been accomplished with the Minnesota Department of Transportation's proposal. Mr. Post stated a rough projection was for an approximate 33 percent increase in volume as a result of opening Highway 610, as this road essentially becomes an exit ramp for 135W. ADJOURNMENT Commissioner Sand moved, seconded by Commissioner Nelson to adjourn the meeting at 10:37 p.m. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). e '4 lanning Case 99-14 (Variance) imothy Stowman, 1191 Carlson Drive ~l~ ~\ ~. - ..' ..- L . . .... -....

CITY OF ARDEN HILLS MEMORANDUM TO: September 13, 1999 Mayor and City council/I Nancy Randall, Associ~r DATE: FROM: SUBJECT: Planning Case #99-14, Variance (Side Yard Setback) Timothy Stowman, 1191 Carlson Drive Request. The applicant is requesting approval of a side yard setback variance (5 feet proposed, when 10 feet is required) for an attached garage and living space addition to a single family lot zoned R-l (Exhibit A). . Background. The applicant currently has a one car tuck-under garage 15 feet by 24 feet (360 square feet). The applicant is proposing a 9 foot 6 inch by 24 foot (228 square feet) garage addition. The garage is proposed to be a total of24 feet by 24 feet 6 inches (588 square feet). The applicant is also asking to increase bedroom space above the proposed garage. The applicant has evaluated other locations for the garage and home addition; however, this is the only location they feel will work with the existing home. Findinl!s - Side Yard Setback Variance The Staff would conclude that the following factors relate to the requested side yard setback variance: 1. Previous Cases of Similar Nature: The City has made the findings in numerous variance requests that the provisions of a two car garage on a property provides for reasonable use ofthat property. 2. Reasonable Use: The other homes in this neighborhood have two car garages. The home already has two standard bedrooms. The home could be expanded 4 feet 6 inches without needing a variance. This would allow for the two bedrooms to be expanded. The bedroom to the north could also be expanded out the back of the home. Although these spaces may not be as large as the applicant desires they do provide for reasonable use of the property in relationship to other homes in the City. e 3. Minimization of request: The proposed garage addition does not provide for more room than a standard two car garage. The house addition could be reduced on the west side and expanded without a variance to the north (rear of the home). 4. Alternate Location: A new garage would fit on the east side of the home; however, there is a steep slope from the street and an existing deck. Deadline for Agency Actions. The City of Arden Hills received the completed application for this request on July 27, 1999. Pursuant to Minnesota State Statute, the City must act on this request by Friday, September 24, 1999 (60 days), unless the City provides the petitioner with written reasons for an additional 60-day review period. The additional review period would extend to Tuesday, November 23, 1999. The City may with the petitioners consent, extend the review period beyond the Tuesday, November 23, 1999 date. e Lastly, if the City denies the petitioner's request, "...it must state in writing the reasons for the denial at the time that it denies the request." Recommendations. The Planning Commission recommends approval of Planning Case #99-14, Side Yard Setback Variance (5 feet proposed, when 10 feet is required) for an attached garage and house addition as requested, based the following: . "Findings - side yard setback" section ofthe September 1, 1999 planning commission memo . support from the neighbors . drainage issues to the north . roof ofthe garage would be above grade . other homes in the neighborhood have two car garages . the house is smaller than other houses in the neighborhood . the large distance between neighbors. .

First, the applicant is proposing to update their master plan to include an auditorium addition to Building E and D (Exhibit A). Secondly, the applicant is requesting approval of an amendment to their previously approved Plarmed Unit Development (plarming Case 99-07) to allow for the expansion of Building E to include an auditorium at their campus which is located at 4100 Hamline Avenue (Exhibit B). . Background. Building E is primarily used for research and development activities. The existing master plan shows future campus expansion by adding Buildings G and H. These would be primarily manufacturing facilities. The applicant proposed and was granted approval to expand onto Building E due to the growth of the research and development area of the company. At that time a smaller auditorium was plarmed inside the expansion. After further review of business needs and layout of the proposed expansion, they discovered the company, would benefit more from a larger auditorium linked to the research and development buildings. The use of the auditorium will be for internal meetings primarily conducted every month discussing product development or new products. With the construction of the previously approved addition to Building E, the campus will have a total Of 1,444 parking spaces including the 223 spaces across Fernwood Avenue. The campus will be required to have a total of 1,997 parking spaces if all the buildings shown in the master plan were constructed. The site is required to have a total of 1,473 parking spaces with the proposed expansion to Building E including the auditorium. They are proposing 1,444 parking spaces with the office, lab and auditorium addition to Building E. The proposal is short 29 parking spaces. The applicant is requesting these space be shown as proof of parking and not be constructed at this time. The applicant has stated the use ofthe auditorium to be internal only, thus extra parking spaces will not be needed. . With Plarming Case 99-07, the applicant was required to show proof of parking on campus or create a permanent easement over the separate parcel for parking. The applicant has chosen to combine the parcel they own to the north with the campus and show proof of parking on the parcel to the north, The applicant has taken steps by submitting the required paperwork to Ramsey County for the combination. They were only required to show proof of parking for 223 spaces for the addition to Building E. They are showing a total of 443 parking spaces on the north parcel as proof of parking for the 223 parking spots to be . constructed this fall across Femwood A venue. This location will also allow for the 29 parking spaces they are short for the auditorium. Staff is comfortable with the request to show proof of parking if the auditorium is used for persons working at the campus. If this should change, and persons other than employees who work at the campus were to be using the auditorium, additional parking would need to be created. . The exterior of the proposed auditorium addition is designed to mach the existing exterior of Building E. The proposed auditorium meets the height, floor area ratio, lot coverage, landscape lot area and setback requirements. The applicant's grading plan requires minimum grading to facilitate the proposed auditorium expansion. Although the grading is minor, the applicant should provide for standard erosion control practices in the area that will be disturbed so that the influx of material into the City's storm drain system is minimized. The Zoning Ordinance in Section V, E, 3, a, b, c, and d, states that the lighting shall be directed away from adjacent properties, the source of illumination shall be concealed, and the intensity oflighting from developments shall not exceed one foot-candle onto public right's-of-way. The applicant is proposing one light pole along the sidewalk entering the proposed auditorium. The light fixtures will be of the same nature as those currently existing on the campus. Deadline for Agency Actions, The City of Arden Hills received the complete application . for this request on August 2, 1999, Pursuant to Minnesota State Statue the City must act on this request by Friday, October 1, 1999. (60 days), unless the City provides the petitioner with written reasons for an additional 60 day review period. The additional review period would extend to Tuesday, November 30,1999. The City may with the petitioner's consent extend the review period beyond the Tuesday, November 30, 1999 date. Lastly, if the City denies the petitioner's request, "... it must state in writing the reason for the denial at the time that it denies the request." Recommendation. The Planning Commission recommends approval of Planning Case 99- 15, Master PlanlPlanned Unit Development amendment, subject to the following conditions: 1. The 29 parking spaces shown as proof of parking be provided if the use of the auditorium changes. 2. Provide erosion control in the area that will be disturbed. 3. Lighting meet the requirements in the Zoning Ordinance Section V, E, 3, a, b, c, and d. 4. Rice Cn';ek Watershed approval. Notes. 1. Pursuant to Section V, L, 5, d, of the Zoning Ordinance a four/fifths (4/5's) majority of the full City Council is required to approve (modify) a Planned Unit Development. . 2. Pursuant to Section VIII, E, 4, of the Zoning Ordinance no application which has been denied wholly or in part shall be resubmitted for a period of six (6) months from the date of denial. Updates.

CITY OF ARDEN HILLS MEMORANDUM FROM: September 13, 1999 , J Mayor and Council Membe/~ Nancy Randall, Associate Planne~ Case #99-16, Special Use Permit Arden Manor, 4605 North Prior Avenue DATE: TO: SUBJECT: Request. The petitioner is requesting approval of an amended Special Use Permit for Arden Manor Mobile Home Park. The mobile home park is located north of County Road 96, west of Highway 10, and east of Highway 35W (Exhibit A). Background. Arden Manor is currently operating on a Special Use Permit (SUP) which was issued in 1971 with Planning Case 71-21 (Exhibit B). This, however, did not include the already existing (north portion) mobile home park. Several amendments to the SUP have been approved since; however, they have never included the north portion of the park. . Over the years, and last few months, Arden Manor has been taking steps to improve the northern portion of the park by resurfacing the road and removing several aging single wide mobile homes and replacing them with one double wide mobile home for every two single wides. As can be seen from the aerial photograph taken in April 1985, (Exhibit C) the area had a building dividing Banyan Street and Abele Street. This building has since been removed. There was also a mobile home in the center of Abele Street on the west end. This has also been removed. The road width remaining is approximately 70 feet. The applicant is proposing to close off the section of road leading from Todd Drive to Abele Street (this has been done) and, if approved, place a unit in this location. Due to the reduction in overall units, staff does not see a concern with adding a unit in the proposed location. The applicant is proposing to take out an existing drive and add a unit in this space. The end of the proposed cul-de-sac is wide enough to turn around if cars are not parked on the street. Staff recommends no parking on the end and sides to allow for traffic turnaround. In the past parking was allowed on Banyan Street and Abele Street. These are very wide and could accommodate street parking. Staff would recommend some striping be incorporated to guide parking and driving actions. e Due to the changes made over the years, and potential changes with the reconstruction of Highway 96, staff would recommend that the applicant work with staff to update the Special Use Permit within the next two years. This would include a scaled drawing of the entire park, landscape plan, and master plan for the park. Staff is aware that the north portion of the park does not meet all the requirements of the original Special Use Permit such as lot size. Staff is also aware that several aspects of the south part ofthe park do not meet the requirements as well. . Staff did not require more specific information at this time due to the timing of Highway 96 reconstruction, nature of the proposed changes, as well as the fact that the road close off change has already been completed. It is staffs intent that the applicant work to clean up the issues with the original special use permit over the next two years by doing a full review of the mobile home park and creating a master plan, Deadline for Agency Actions. The City of Arden Hills received the complete application for this request on Tuesday, August 3,1999. Pursuant to Minnesota State Statute, the City must act on this request by Friday, October 1, 1999 (60 days), unless the City provides the petitioner with written reasons for an additional 60 day review period. The additional review period would extend to Tuesday, Novermber 30, 1999. The City may with the petitioner's consent extend the review period beyond the Tuesday, November 30, 1999 date. Lastly, ifthe City denies the petitioners request, "... it must state in the writing the reasons for the denial at the time that it denies the request." Recommendations. The Planning Commission recommends approval of Planning Case 99-16, Special Use Permit, to modifY the north portion of the park subject to the following conditions: 1. The applicant work with the City to update the Special Use Permit for the entire park within the next two years. 2. "No Parking" signs be placed on the west end of Banyan Street and along the sides .. 100 feet from the end of the street. 3. Banyan Street be marked to show parking and drive lanes to be approved by the City Engineer. Updates. The applicant supplied the Planning Commission with some revised drawings which better represent the park in the past and with the modifications (Exhibit E) e . <;> ~ d, CJ c.-, -S "J- ~ ~ <-\ 0 ~ '" ...., 'Do C"- ',\... ~ <) \s- O-- \r- I!- ".., Is-- \:' c-- ':l \J \r" <;t- C'- <!'- 'J- ...,.. 1,1- ocr- IJ' ~ <1, --- -- -- (l- 1)'-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --- ;1 DO I It t-- "" I") -- cr- t-- IV) IL~ \r, !")- ...... <:;- ~ \r, t') ..... \r- <:;- "'" "'" ..., .." ..... .... .c-- \" C'-- c-- "" ..!j ~ -.!l " cr- ...,..

The petitioner is requesting approval of a site plan to allow for a 12 foot 9 1/2 inch by 4 foot 3 inch, generator for their facility located at 4354-4369 Round Lake Road. (Exhibit A). . Background. The City Council approved a request for a Site Plan Review for a office/warehouse building with Planning Case 86-15 (Exhibit B). Guidant (CPI) utilizes a portion of the building for its shipping and receiving. The generator is proposed to be 6 foot 7 inches tall and setback from the building 10 feet. The generator would be used during power outages and once a month for preventative maintenance. The generator is proposed on the south side of the building in the loading dock area 10 feet from the building. This area is not visible from public right-of-way however, is visible from the property to the south. The proposed generator would meet the height and setback regulations, The Zoning , Ordinance in Section VI, E, 4, states that screening shall be provided where mechanical operating equipment is located on the ground or the roof of the premises. The proposed generator has an enclosure to weatherproof and reduce sound. Staff recommends a fence or wall be placed along the south side to screen the generator from the neighboring lot. The applicant is proposing an enclosure to reduce the sound. The applicant has supplied staff with numbers showing the proposed sound levels and a list of comparable sounds. The numbers all fall below a diesel truck, which are currently used in this area. e Deadline for Agency Actions. The City of Arden Hills received the complete application for this request on Friday, August 6, 1999. Pursuant to Minnesota State Statute, the City must act on this request by Tuesday, October 5, 1999 (60 days), unless the City provides the petitioner with written reasons for an additional 60-day review period. The additional review period would extend to Friday, December 3, 1999. The City may, with the petitioners' consent, extend the review period beyond the Friday, December 3,1999 date. Lastly, if the City denies the petitioners request, "... it must state in the writing the reasons for the denial at the time that it denies the request." e Recommendation. The Staffrecommends approval of Planning Case 99-17, Site Plan, to allow for the constructions of a 4 foot 3 inch by 12 foot 9 1/2 inch generator with the following condition: 1. The generator only be run a maximum of 5 hours per month for servicing or for the duration of a power failure. 2. The generator be placed as close as possible to the building and transformer that the building code will allow. 3. A minimum of two protective bollards be placed to protect the generator. Updates. The generator would be required to be a minimum of 10 feet from any opening and 3 feet from the NSP transformer. Ifthe generator is placed in the proposed location the generator will need to be 10 feet from the building to be setback the required 3 feet from the transformer. . . . . . E)(h;!,;+A ';~ GUIOANT Memorandum August 5, 1999 City of Arden Hills ATIN; Nancy Randall Associate Planner 4364 West Round Lake Road Arden Hills, MN 55112-5794 Dear Nancy, As requested, I offer the following answers to the questions you outlined in your July 30, 1999 memo in regards to installation of a generator at the Round Lake Business Park. We would not install the generator inside the building, The unit is approximately 4' 3" x 12' 9" and would consume valuable packaging and shipping area. The uuit also contains a fuel cell which Guidant prefers not to house in the same area as our employees. The generalor location was based on accessibility to the incoming utilities and available space in the shipping/receiving area as discussed with CB Commercial Real Est'l1e Group, the property management ftrm. The generator is being purchased for business continuity. In order to maintain product supply to customers in the field, the Round Lake facility must be operational during power outages. Manufacturers sound level information has been attached for you to review. Operation of lhe generator would be during power outages and during preventive maintenance. Preventive maintenance would be performed on a monthly basis. We have not determined how long the unit would run during the scheduled preventive maintenance. At this time we have not planned on any fencing or plants to screen the generator. We would purchase a sound attenuated weatherproof enclosure. The enclosure is painted and provides a very clean appearance. We would protect the unit with concrete poles to prevent vehicles or trucks from damaging the unit. Additional lighting hasn't been considered at this time, If you have any questions, comments or would like to discuss the above information feel free to contact me.

CITY OF ARDEN HILLS MEMORANDUM DATE: September 10, 1999 TO: Mayor and City Councilmembers @ FROM: Terrance R. Post, Interim City Administrator SUBJECT: Conveyance of Property from Arden Manor Mobile Home Park Backeround Over the past several years, the recreational facilities at Arden Manor Park have significantly deteriorated. A major contributing factor to this condition has been ongoing soil condition and drainage issues, The City has a perpetual easement over the park area, but does not own fee title to the property, The park owner has been unwilling to remedy the soil and drainage problems to the satisfaction of the City. Correspondingly, the City has been unwilling to replace park facilities (i.e" hard courts, playground structures) until the area is more useable. Arden Manor Park Improvement ProiectlPark Owner Fundine In 1999, the City proceeded with plans to upgrade the Arden Manor Park, including solving the soil and drainage problems, The City Council discussed that the estimated $68,040 in site preparation and drainage costs should be the responsibility ofthe property owner in the form of cost participation or special assessments. The property owner was approached on this matter and would only commit to funding $10,000 for these improvements, When advised of the response ofthe property owner, the City Council directed staffto explore other alternatives, including a land conveyance in lieu of special assessments. Staff has met several times with the park owner on the land conveyance option. The park owner is amenable to this funding option, which would result in the City of Arden Hills becoming the fee owner of 3,61 acres of former park easement property. On September 9, 1999, City Attorney Filla, Arden Manor Mobile Home Park General Partner Francis Husnik, and myself met to determine the elements of a conveyance of real estate agreement (see attached) betwecn the parties. Budeetarv Impact To the extent the Arden Manor Park Improvement Project was planned to proceed, the park owner would have reimbursed $68,040 of the total project costs, If Council elects to proceed with the improvements and authorize execution of the conveyance document, then staff would recommend the Park Fund and the Surface Water Management Utility make up the project funding shortfall in the following manner: . . .
