for other subregional planning efforts.

Mr. Williams stated that the Metropolitan Council also recognizes the City's leadership in
TCAAP property planning, which represents an important piece of land in the Metro area, He
encouraged the Council to consider affordable housing options as well as diverse transit
opportunities when that property is in the development stage,
Mayor Probst thanked Mr. Williams for his efforts on the Metropolitan Council as well as his
active participation in the 35W Corridor Coalition, Mr, Williams reiterated his thanks and
congratulations to the community,
B. Ordinance #319, Rubbish Hauler Collection Schedule
Mr. Post introduced Mark Kelliher, Chairman of the Operations and Finance Committee, He
noted the Committee, which was formed several months ago, has identified several key issues to
be researched with rubbish hauling being one ofthem, He invited Mr. Kelliher to address the
Council.
Mr. Kelliher stated that the Operations and Finance Committee recently identified a number of
problems associated with residential garbage hauling within the city which could be corrected if
scheduling changes are made. He added that four haulers are licensed to pick up residential trash
in the City, and each requires two days to complete their routes, He noted this results in trash
hauling taking place every week day,
.
Mr. Kelliher stated that various problems are associated with this, including interaction with City
maintenance vehicles, noise pollution, and safety issues. He added that the Committee felt that if
trash hauling were coordinated with recycling pickup, there would also be an increase in
residential recycling,
Mr. Kelliher stated the Committee discussed these issues with the four residential haulers
operating in the City, and came up with some solutions. He added the garbage haulers are in
agreement that the plan can be implemented, He noted the plan consists of City-imposed
restrictions for the haulers to operate south of 694 on Tuesdays and north of 694 on Wednesdays,
Mr. Kelliher recommended that the Council might wish to discuss this schedule with the City's
current recycler and possibly mandate schedule coordination with trash pickup.
Mr. Kelliher stated that this plan does not reduce road traffic as it is simply condensed. He
noted that the option of a single trash hauler licensed by the City was not a good solution
Council member Grant asked how the 694 split was decided upon, Mr. Kelliher stated that 694 is
a natural demarcation used by one of the haulers, and it provides an easily interpreted point of
reference for residents.
.
Councilmember Larson stated he supports the recommendation, He asked whether surrounding
communities have a single day tor trash rather than two days, Mr. Kelliher stated that the trash
haulers indicated that most communities require two days, He added the Committee was
concerned that the solution should not be burdensome to haulers,

.
Councilmember Larson asked whether the recycling contractors are willing to set up another day.
Mr. Kelliher stated he has not spoken directly with the contractor, adding this could be
introduced to them at upcoming contract negotiations.
Mr. Post stated that representatives of the City's recycler have expressed a willingness to
cooperate, but would wish to begin this new service at the start of the next contract on January 1,
2001, He suggested the ordinance might be made effective January 1 to coincide with the
recycling contract.
Councilmember Aplikowski stated she reluctantly supports the proposal, adding she does not
think it is something on which the City should bemandating. She added that residents should be
able to have their garbage picked up whenever they wish, She noted she is against an ordinance-
driven mandate such as this proposal. She applauded the committee for their efforts and for
working with the City's garbage haulers to arrive at a solution,
Mayor Probst stated he supports the proposal and would be interested in moving it along,
Councilmember Rem asked whether the proposed ordinance would affect the hours of hauling,
Mr. Kelliher stated that was not part ofthe discussions. He added that early trash pick-up will
only occur one day of the week, condensing noise pollution.
.
Councilmember Aplikowski asked whether the garbage haulers would notify residents of the
change. Mr. Kelliher confirmed that it will be the hauler's responsibility to notify their
customers.
MOTION:
Councilmember Grant moved and Councilmember Aplikowski seconded a motion
to approve Ordinance #319, relating to the collection of garbage and refuse, with
the following amendment:
Change effective date to January 1, 2001.
The motion carried unanimously (5-0).
C. Planning Cases
1. Case #00-27, ALBS, 1296 County Road F, SUP Amendment
Ms, Chaput explained that the applicant is requesting an amendment to the Special Use Permit
(SUP) for 1296 County Road F to allow for the installation of one antenna onto the existing
tower (at a height of 265' with a six foot mount) and the installation of a new supporting
platform on the ground level.
.
The property at 1296 County Road F is primarily used for a single antenna tower, with accessory
structures to support it, The existing antenna tower was constructed in 1972, Since this time, the
City's Zoning Ordinance has been amended to no longer allow antennas as a primary use in any
.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - July 31, 2000

.
district of the City, The current Zoning Ordinance allows for antennas that are accessory to the
primary use on a property through the SUP process in all zoning districts. This application is for
an amendment to the original SUP to allow the installation of an antenna on the main antenna
tower,
The applicant requests the installation of an antenna to be placed at an elevation of 265 feet on
the existing antenna tower. The proposed antenna requires a six foot mount at this elevation as
well as a new platform and radio mount with GPS and microwave dish inside the existing
compound,
Section VI (I) #2 ofthe Zoning Ordinance states that, "Antennas, satellite dishes and towers are
allowed only as special accessory uses, They are therefore allowed only on property containing a
principal use to which the antenna, dish antenna or tower is accessory", The existing antenna is
nonconforming by use since it is the principal use for this property. The structures that exist on
the property are accessory to the tower.
The height of antenna towers can not exceed seventy-five feet (75') in any district as stated in
Section VI (I) #3 (b) of the Zoning Ordinance. The existing antenna on this property exceeds
265' in height and the applicant proposes to place an antenna at approximately this height.
Therefore, the existing antenna is also nonconforming by height. Being nonconforming by
height, the antenna tower is also nonconforming by location since it is nearer to the property line
(approximately 50' from the antenna) than the height of the tower (Section VI (I) #4 (d)).
.
Section IX (D) of the Zoning Ordinance states that, "No nonconforming use shall be changed to
a different nonconforming use, enlarged, intensified, increased, extended to occupy a greater area
of the lot on which it is located, moved to any other part of the lot on which or building in which
it is located, constructed, reconstructed, structurally altered or remodeled, ' ,"
The addition ofthis antenna onto an existing nonconforming antenna tower is not permitted (as
stated above) since it would physically increase or expand the nonconformity, Permitting
additional antennas on an already nonconforming use is contrary to the intent ofthe Zoning
Ordinance which does not encourage antennas as a primary use,
Ms, Chaput stated that the Planning Commission recommends denial of Planning Case #00-27,
amendment to the Special Use Permit for 1296 County Road F, to allow for the installation of
one antenna onto the existing tower and the installation of a new supporting platform on the
ground, for the following reasons:
1, The physical enlargement of an existing nonconforming use by an additional antenna is
not permitted by Section IX (D) of the City's Zoning Ordinance;
2. It appears that antennas have been illegally added to the existing tower in the past and the
current tower appears to be taller than the original SUP permitted in 1972,
.
Mayor Probst asked what type of antennas have been added to the tower in the past. Ms. Chaput
stated there is no documentation of planning cases changing the height of the tower, approved for
240 feet and currently at 265 feet.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - July 31, 2000
DRAFT

. Councilmember Larson asked for clarification with regard to the applicant. Ms. Chaput stated
the applicant is ALBS, a company operating out of Illinois, working with Sky tel.
Councilmember Larson asked whether previous changes were made to the structure since the
zoning ordinance was amended, Ms. Chaput stated that a building permit was approved in 1982
for building a shed, and a planning case was withdrawn in 1996,
Councilmember Grant asked whether the proposed antenna will add to the height of the tower.
Ms, Chaput stated it would not add to the height, adding that the addition is not permitted by
City Code and would add to the tower's nonconformity,
Councilmember Rem asked whether Staff had heard from the applicant since their
recommendation for denial was made, Ms, Chaput stated she has not heard from the applicant.
Mr. George Reiling stated he is the owner of the property, adding he does not believe the tower
has been expanded,
Councilmember Aplikowski stated the tower was constructed before the zoning ordinance was
revised. She added the toweris visually balanced, and the addition of antennas would make it
appear lopsided. She asked how antennas could have been added without the City's knowledge,
and who would be responsible lor that. She asked whether the illegally added antennas could be
removed.
.
City Attorney Jerry Filla stated that he is not familiar with this case, adding that the Council
seems to be expressing a wish for further information with regard to the tower's height and
number of antennas, He added he is unsure whether Mr. Reiling has the authority to give the
City more time to investigate that.
Mr, Filla stated the legal issue seems to be whether the request is an expansion of a
nonconforming use, or an expansion of an illegal use. He expressed concern that this is the last
day for making a decision on the matter. He recommended the Council take more time to review
the matter.
Council member Larson asked whether the applicant could submit a new application in six
months if the application were denied. Ms, Chaput agreed, adding the applicant could also
change their application and resubmit it immediately,
Mr. Filla asked whether Mr. Rciling would be willing to allow City staffto review permits
regarding the property, Mayor Probst expressed concern that there is no way to determine
whether Mr. Reiling has the appropriate authority,
Mr. Filla stated he would recommend an alternative motion to continue the request for 60 days to
allow the City to investigate the issue, Mayor Probst asked whether an action could be taken to
deny the request but waive the six month requirement, allowing the applicant to return next
month, Mr. Filla stated the six month restriction is contained in the zoning code.

.
Councilmember Larson stated the recommendations of the Planning Commission to deny the
request is based on the fact that it is a nonconforming use, and as such the City should not allow
an expansion of a nonconforming use, Mr. Filla stated it could be argued that no expansion of
any kind is permitted on a nonconforming use, and part of the tower should come down, He
noted that adding antennas to towers when no height is added to the tower is not considered
expansion of a nonconforming use,
Councilmember Grant stated the Council would be basing a decision on lack of information, He
added that it has not been confirmed that the tower is actually 265 feet in height. He noted that
page five ofthe staff memo shows the tower height to be 235 feet. He asked whether staff has
confirmed the height of the tower, Ms, Chaput stated that staff was referring to the application
which shows 265 feet.
Mr. Filla stated that if the application is to expand the tower trom 235 feet to 265 feet, that is a
physical expansion of a nonconforming use and would not be allowed,
Mr. Reiling asked for clarification. Mr, Filla stated that nonconforming uses should find a
graceful termination, He added that if the City allows nonconforming uses to perpetuate
themselves, regulations will never be enforced.
Mayor Probst stated that he would wish to proceed with the Planning Commission's
recommendation to deny the request, adding the applicant can pursue the issue if they wish.
.
Councilmember Rem asked whether contact had been made with the applicant. Ms, Chaput
stated that she spoke with a representative of the applicant prior to the Planning Commission
meeting at which the issue was discussed. Staff was told that there would be representation at the
Planning Commission meeting although the person failed to appear.
Councilmember Rem asked whether the City would have some liability if the tower were not
originally constructed to tolerate the additional height. Mr. Filla stated it is a possibility, adding
he is not familiar with the facts in this case.
Mr. Filla stated the record should show that the City was inclined to take more time to review the
case, that the applicant was umesponsive to the City's inquiries, and consequently a decision was
made based upon these circumstances,
MOTION:
Councilmember Larson moved and Councilmember Aplikowski seconded a
motion to deny Planning Case #00-27, amendment to the Special Use Permit for
1296 County Road F, to allow for installation of one antenna onto the existing
tower and the installation of a new supporting platform on the ground, for the
following reasons:
1.
The physical enlargement of an existing nonconforming use by an
additional antenna is not permitted by Section IX (D) of the City's Zoning
Ordinance;

2. Case #00-29, MNDOT, 5400 Highway 8, Site Plan Review
Ms, Chaput explained that the applicant is requesting a site plan review of a proposed expansion
and remodeling of the existing Minnesota Department of Transportation drivers testing facility,
located at 5400 Highway 8.
The applicant proposes: a 2,765 square foot addition to the east and south sides of the structure;
remodeling the existing building with new windows, mechanical system, finishes, etc,;
simplifying the auto access for checking into the facility; relocating the motorcycle test area to
the block west of the current building; converting the motorcycle test area to the east of the
building to a staff parking lot; adding a public parking lot on the block to the north of the
building,
The State of Minnesota agencies are not required by law to abide by City Ordinance; however,
. they are choosing to follow City Ordinances,
The applicant is proposing an addition of 2,765 square feet onto the east and south sides ofthe
existing drivers testing building, increasing the total footprint of the building to 6,500 square feet
from 3,735 square feet,
Rice Creek Watershed District will require final site drainage plan approval of this proposal
because there will be an impervious addition on a site that is greater than 2.5 acres in size.
Following Council action, the applicant will have to make application with the watershed district.
The existing motorcycle test area to the east of the structure will be reconstructed as an employee
parking lot, allowing for 34 spaces, A new parking lot is being constructed to the north of the
structure, accommodating 42 spaces. To the west of the building is the new motorcycle test area,
The total number of spaces available on site is 76 with the proposed addition and changes. There
appear to be an adequate number of parking spaces on site for the employees and visitors.
Ms, Chaput stated that the Plauning Commission recommends approval of Planning Case #00-
29, Site Plan Review of the Minnesota Department of Transportation drivers testing facility,
located at 5400 County Road I, with 3 conditions,
.
Mayor Probst asked whether the north portion of the site, which appears to be a drainage basin,
would provide ponding for the site. Ms, Chaput stated that issue did not come up at the Planning
Commission meeting, adding it would be brought forth when Rice Creek Watershed approval
was obtained.

. Mayor Probst stated the facility has been a good neighbor, and ideas are floating around with
regard to the future oftheir property. He asked whether that issue was discussed with City staff.
Ms. Chaput stated it was not discussed at the Planning Commission meeting, as it was decided
that the development of the surrounding TCAAP property would be a long way down the road
and future proposed zoning designations should not be imposed at this time.
Councilmember Larson stated the retention pond on site would be made smaller by the proposed
additional parking spaces. He asked how many spaces the site currently has, Ms. Chaput stated
there are 18 existing spaces, Councilmember Larson asked whether the site's practice roads have
curbs and gutters. Ms. Chaput confirmed this,
MOTION:

motion to approve Planning Case #00-29, Site Plan Review of the Minnesota
Department of Transportation drivers testing facility, located at 5400 County
Road I, with the following conditions:

Case #00-11, City of Arden Hills, Zoning Ordinance Amendment
Mr. Post noted that a number offaxes and letters had been received by Stafffrom residents with
regard to this case, all of which were presented at the bench or the Council's review,
Mayor Probst stated that the Council will not take action to adopt the ordinance, but rather to
direct Staffto prepare the ordinance for adoption and publication,
Ms. Chaput explained that in response to resident complaints, staff has identified some portions
of the Zoning Ordinance that require revision in order to properly address complaints. The
revisions are a result of researching other cities' ordinances as well as staff and Planning
Commission discussions,
Ms, Chaput reviewed amendments to Section II (D), Definitions, with regard to Item 1,
pertaining to single family homes that are being used as student housing,
The City has had a number of complaints on single family homes that have been converted into
housing for numerous students attending the local colleges. The current code does not have any
language in it to deter this type of activity within single family districts. This can be changed by
amending some of the definitions,

Mayor Probst asked whether the City Attorney was comfortable with the proposed amendments.
Mr, Filla stated he is comfortable with the proposed language, adding that most cities have
include such definition in their code. He noted that the definition is a legally acceptable concept
and as such is defensible,
Ms. Chaput reviewed amendments to Section II (D), Definitions; Section VI (A) #5, Size; and
Section VI (F) #1 h, Parking Structures, with regard to Item 2, pertaining to accessory structures.
Since there are restrictions on accessory buildings, a definition should be clearly defined and
amended to include all accessory structures, Also, there is no limit on the amount of accessory
structures permitted, Typically, cities limit this to one structure in addition to a detached garage,
which is what is proposed,
The accessory structure setbacks are in conflict in some sections (10' for accessory but some
principal structures only require a 5' setback) so this language is proposed to be amended,
Finally, the term "parking structure" is not defined in the code so it has been amended for
"private garage" which is defined,
Councilmember Larson stated the intention was that there be no more than two accessory
structures on a lot. He asked whether a home with attached garage could still have two accessory
structures. Ms, Chaput confirmed that the Planning Commission had agreed on that point,
.
Ms, Chaput reviewed amendments to Section VI (F) #3, Traffic and Circulation, with regard to
Item 3, pertaining to accessibility to public streets, It is not clear in the ordinance that all newly
created properties need to abut a public street. The only information that is provided does not
refer to all districts.
Ms, Chaput reviewed amendments to Section VI (F) #1 C, Construction Standards, and Section
VI (F), #3 C, Driveways, with regard to Item 4, pertaining to driveways, There are no
regulations on the number of driveways that a property has or that parking vehicles in the front
yard is prohibited, Plus, there is no language that specifically states that new driveways tor any
type of dwelling unit must be paved,
There is also concern about existing language that allows for the paving of a driveway to occur
right up to a lot line without a setback. Finally, State and County regulations for streets should
be confirmed with these regulatory bodies at that time and the code should not list their
requirements, in the case that they have changed or are incorrect.
Mayor Probst asked how this item will affect nonconforming properties. Ms, Chaput stated that
nonconforming uses would not be allowed to be created,
Councilmember Larson asked whether curb and gutter will be required for residential properties,
Ms. Chaput stated the recommended changes with regard to curb and gutter do not apply to
single family homes,

Councilmember Larson expressed concern that a limit of three cars parked in a driveway is too
limiting, particularly if four unrelated individuals reside there, Ms. Chaput stated the Planning
Commission's decision was based on the assumption that most properties have at least a single
car garage, adding it was though to be fair to allow three cars parked on the driveway.
Councilmember Larson stated it is still a problem if the is no garage on the property.
Councilmember Aplikowski agreed, adding she would wish to see the amendment changed to a
limit of four cars.
Ms, Chaput reviewed amendments to Section VI (E) #4 D, Barbs or Spikes on Fences, with
regard to Item 5, pertaining to fences. There are regulations for agricultural fences in the City,
These types offences are typically prohibited in cities that do not have agricultural districts or
vacant land that may be used for agricultural purposes in the future, Staff proposes that they be
prohibited.
The term "agricultural use" is identified as a permitted and accessory use in the City, From a
planning perspective, encouraging agricultural uses does not meet the intentions of the
Comprehensive Plan, This use should be eliminated from the land use chart so that it is no
longer permitted,
Councilmember Aplikowski asked whether this amendment would impact the business
community, Ms. Chaput stated the amendment would apply to all fences within the City until
. they are removed,
Mayor Probst stated that the fence surrounding the arsenal property would be in violation of this
amendment. Councilmember Aplikowski stated that some businesses should be allowed to have
protective fences, particularly those bordering railroad tracks, Mayor Probst suggested this
section could be revised to allow such fences under a special use permit only. Ms, Chaput
agreed,
Ms, Chaput reviewed amendments to Section IX (H), Amortization of Noncontorming Use, with
regard to Item 6, pertaining to amortization, In the 1999 Legislative Session, the City's power to
amortize land uses was revoked, as stated in Chapter 96-S.F, No, 854, The only uses that a city
may amortize are those relating to, " , ' . adult -only bookstores, adults-only theatres, or similar
adults-only business as defined by ordinance, ' ." and for ". , , the prevention or abatement of
nuisances, , . or eliminating a use determined to be a public nuisance, . .", Therefore, the
language that is currently in the Zoning Ordinance regarding amortizing nonconforming uses
should be revised,
Ms, Chaput reviewed amendments and renumbering of all pages, Sections and the Table of
Contents in the City of Arden Hills Zoning Ordinance, with regard to Item 7, pertaining to the
ordinance numbering system. The numbering system of the ordinance is currently in Roman
numerals and is difficult to follow. Staff proposes that this be changed for ease of use as well as
the page numbering system, numbering pages from one (1) to the last page of the document.
Also, for ease of future revisions, the document should be placed in a binder with section tabs,

Ms, Chaput stated that the Planning Commission recommends that Planning Case #00-11,
Zoning Ordinance Amendments, be approved and staffbe directed to prepare the formal
ordinance for adoption at the next regular City Council meeting,
Councilmember Aplikowski stated that some residences might have a problem with limiting the
number of driveways, Ms, Chaput stated only one access should be permitted, but such change
can not be mandated on existing homes who exceed that limit. Mayor Probst stated a variance
could be requested for future cases.
Ms, Aplikowski asked why the word "paved" was used under Item 4. Ms, Chaput stated the
Planning Commission decided that the term "paved" included many possibilities.
Kirk Soldner, 1923 Noble Road, stated he moved to the community 13 years ago because it was
different from other communities and had a rural feel. He added he believes the proposed
ordinance amendments take away from the original village aspects of the community and he
objects to the changes in principle as well as having some issues with the proposed wording, He
noted that legislation should only be enacted if there is a demonstrated need, consideration of a
variety of viewpoints, minimum legislation necessary, and anticipation of unintended
consequences.
.
Mr, Soldner stated he likes to see students in his neighborhood as long as they abide by the rules
of the City. He added in his opinion it is unfair to assume that many students living in one
dwelling will result in problems, He noted it is prejudiced to assume they will have numerous
vehicles,
Mr. Soldner suggested the following wording changes: Under Definition 43, Dwelling, replace
"dwelling" with "dwelling unit", Under Definition 47, Dwelling Unit, rctain existing wording,
Under Definition 53, Family, retain existing wording as proposed amendments are limiting. He
added the proposed wording might be challenged as discriminatory,
Mr. Soldner stated, with regard to Item 2, Accessory Structures, he is unsure why the term
"private garage" is necessary and the existing wording should be retained.
Mr. Soldner stated, with regard to Item 4, Driveways and Parking, surfaces other than paved
surfaces should be acceptable and residents should be allowed to try other options. He expressed
concern that the proposed changes are restrictive, and a limit of three cars is unacceptable. He
added that the term "regular basis" should be defined,
Mr. Soldner stated, with regard to Item 5, Fencing, that agricultural uses within the City should
not be discouraged, and electrical and barbed fences should be allowed for commercial
properties. He added that electric fences for use in private gardens should be allowed as they are
inconspicuous, harmless to humans and do not kill animals,
.
Mr. Soldner urged the Council to enact legislation only where it is needed and address only real
problems with the minimum amount ofrestriction imposed on residents.

Mayor Probst stated that the proposed ordinance amendments are the result ofresident
complaints which have been difficult to resolve.
Laura Valenziano, 1890 Noble Road, stated she lives next door to a home where students are
living, adding she has no problems with the home. She noted that residents should be more
accepting of their neighbors rather than limiting the City to a certain class of people,
Ms. Valenziano stated that her student neighbors are friendly, helpful and quiet. She expressed
concern that other neighbors brought the issue to the Council rather than discuss it with the
homeowners to be resolved within the community. She added she believes the Council is
opening the door for discrimination legislation, and the creation of an elitist community.
Ms, Valenziano stated the proposed amendment restricting the number of cars parked in a
driveway to three cars would affect a majority of homes in the City. She added the problems
which might be caused by a group of students, such as noise pollution or crime, can be resolved
under existing laws.
Councilmember Aplikowski asked how many students live next door to Ms, Valenziano. She
stated she believes there are eleven students, She added that noise is not a problem,
.
Ferdinand Peters, 1708 Portland Avenue, St. Paul, stated he is a legal representative of
homeowners Jerry and Julie Warner, 1898 Noble Road, who own the home in question. He
added he would wish Staff to review the issue further before enactment of the proposed
amendments. He noted the neighbors' main concern with the Warner's property is parking,
adding the homeowners have always worked with the City and neighbors whenever necessary,
Mr. Peters stated he contacted the Assistant Dean of Student Housing at Bethel College, and
learned they do not have dormitory spaces for all their students, He added that his clients have a
strict lease policy which follows the rules and protocol of Bethel College,
Mr, Peters stated his clients have obtained the necessary permits for parking on their property,
adding the proposed changes could result in legal action.
Councilmember Aplikowski asked how many cars are parked at the home, Mr. Warner stated
there are spaces for 11 cars.
Dick Wenzel, 1931 Noble Road, stated he has lived on this street tor 28 years and has never had
any problems with the students, He asked why the Council would add more legislation when the
City does not enforce the laws already enacted. Mayor Probst stated that City staff respond to
issues on a complaint basis,
Jerry Warner, owner ofthe property at 1898 Noble Road, stated hc purchased the property when
his two daughters, students at the City's colleges, were unable to find a suitable rental property,
He added the colleges do not have sufficient housing for student enrollment, He noted the
property at 1898 Noble Road is a two family dwelling which fit their needs perfectly,

Mr. Warner stated that parking issues were resolved when he obtained a permit through the City
to create additional parking spaces for the students. He added the garage is used for study space,
and he enforces a strict lease, He reiterated he has sufficient offstreet parking tor his tenants.
Mayor Probst asked for Mr. Warner's ideas with regard to his intentions for the property. Mr.
Warner stated he might sell the home after his daughters are out of college, and convert it back to
a single family home,
Mayor Probst stated the fundamental concern expressed by neighbors is the amount of parking,
and the way such a home changes the character ofthe neighborhood. He added that the next
owner ofthe home might not have the same management approach as Mr. Warner.
Rick Patzlaff, 1885 Noble Road, stated he supports the resolution regardless of how the home at
1898 Noble Road is maintained, He added the neighborhood is in an R-2 zone, and the
equivalent of an apartment complex is not desirable,
SueKath, 1895 Noble Road, stated she built her home 23 years ago on that street because of its
residential nature, She added that although the students are well-behaved, the home has become
a commercial property and will affect her property value, She noted she would have moved to a
college campus if that was the type of neighborhood in which she wished to live,
Councilmember Larson stated this issue has been raised in other neighborhoods, including his
own, adding it will come up again in the future, He added it is not the City's responsibility to
provide housing for college students who need places to live. He noted the ordinance still allows
four unrelated individuals to live in a home, which is reasonable,
Councilmember Larson stated that the City must control the number of homes that may be turned
into dormitories because of the overflow of college students,
Councilmember Aplikowski stated this is a management issue, adding that good housing
depends upon good management, She noted that although Mr. Warner manages his property
well, the next owner might not do so,
Councilmember Aplikowski expressed opposition to the proposed changes to Definition 47,
Family.
Councilmember Rem stated it is necessary to have restrictions on the number of people living in
a home, adding the Planning Commission is responding to that issue, She expressed her support
of enacting guidelines to address the issue more explicitly,
Councilmember Grant stated that the number of people living in a home, parking, and activity on
the property are issues that need to be dealt with by the City,
.
Mayor Probst stated there are many areas in the community other than Noble Road where the
conversion of single family homes has been an issue. He added he agrees with Councilmember

Larson's comment that the it is not the City's responsibility to create housing for college
students.
Mayor Probst stated that many of the City's residents bought their homes based on the nature of
the community, He added the Council has an obligation to restrict the future proliferation of
such rental properties. He noted that reasonable limits would be imposed by the proposed
amendments,
Councilmember Larson suggested the proposed changes could be reviewed at an upcoming
worksession or the next Council meeting, due to the late hour. Mayor Probst agreed.
Councilmember Aplikowski stated that more information is necessary before the Council could
make decisions,
Councilmember Rem noted that Councilmembers will be absent at various upcoming meetings,
Mr. Filla stated four votes are required to pass the amendments.
Mr. Soldner urged the Council to refrain from showing prejudice against any group such as
students. Councilmember Larson stated the proposed amendments do not specifically target
students, but rather attempt to find an acceptable definition of family, either related or unrelated
individuals. He stressed that there is no argument of prejudice.

Re: Planning Case #00-11
Zoning Ordinance Amendments
Dear Mayor and Council Members:
We are in favor of the proposed amendments to the zoning ordinance as outlined in the
memorandum from Jennifer Chaput, City Planner, to Mayor and City Council dated July
10,2000.
We have lived here for 13 years and have twQdaughters aged 6 and 4. We have several
reasons for being in favor of these changes, mainly stemming from the house next to us -
1898 Noble Road. This house was sold two years ago and has been converted to a
"dorm" for college students. The owner has told us there are currently 1 I people living
there.
Usually there are 9 to 12 vehicles at the residence overnight, counting those parked in the
driveway, parked in the street (often in front the fire hydrant that is between our
driveways), and parked illegally in the Sampson Park parking lot. Our front lawn has
been driven on multiple times because the residents did not want to move the cars that
were blocking them in on their driveway. The owner has since put up a fence to put an
end to such behavior - an action we would like to think could have been solved by other
means, like respect for property and common sense. Visibility is also an issue with this
number of vehicles, especially when our daughters like to ride their bicycles/tricycles or
when Bob leaves for work in the morning. We don't appreciate living next to a parking
lot.
Weare also concerned about the number of people in the house. Just a couple of people
having a "few friends" over means parking up and down both sides of the street. Recently
we have counted as many as 11 cars in the street from friends visiting them on weekday
evenings (between 7:30 and 10:00 PM). This creates problems for everyone driving on
....
.
Noble Road. We have had cars parked in front of our house with people we do not know
just sitting in them - kind of unnerving. For all we know, they're "casing" our house. We
have also heard directly from the owner of alcohol being served to minors inside the
residence.
The owner has converted the garage to living space - one window has been boarded up,
the garage door has been sealed shut, and some type of heating unit added, which vents
out the side. (Has this been inspected? It seems kind of suspect to us.) The owner also
seems to be claiming the dwelling is a duplex, yet it has a single address and single front
door access (it is a split entry). Prior to its sale, it was a one family home, which did have
a finished basement that included a kitchen in the basement. The owner has also been
negligent in upkeep of the lawn and landscaping. The lawn has been cut only four times
so far this year (approximately once a month, while we have had to mow ours once a
week to keep up) and several shrubs have become overgrown and laced with weeds. We
have worked hard and take a lot of pride in how our house and yard look - unfortunately,
not everyone else feels the same civic pride. This hurts the entire neighborhood
This large number of residents also generates a great deal of garbage. The garbage can is
overflowing nearly every week, creating a health concern. When they have excess
garbage, they just pile it up on the ground around the garbage can (the same size garbage
can we have for the four of us).
. This has been a very nice, quiet, family-oriented neighborhood With a few exceptions,
the people living there are not a problem; it's the excessive number of people and
vehicles we oppose. We also have concerns regarding the impact this rental property may
have on our property value. Our understanding of the proposed changes would help this
and as they are not out of line with other cities' ordinances, we strongly encourage each
of you to vote in favor of the changes.
Thank you for your serious consideration of these issues.
Sincerely,
D~~ ~~

Appointment of Election Judges, September 12,2000 State Primary
Election
FROM:
Backl!:round
Attached is a list of Election Judges recommended for appointment to serve at the 2000 Primary
Election to be held on September 12, 2000. The list constitutes those names received through
party caucuses held this spring; the Ramsey County Auditor; public advertisements and requests
(City newsletter, Ramsey County and the Secretary of State's Office); as well as those judges
having served the City in prior elections. This is in accordance with Minnesota Statute 204B.2l.
.
There are four (4) major political parties this year (Constitution, Democratic-Farmer-Labor,
Reform, and Republican). Judges will be assigned to each of the four precincts to ensure party
balance and to provide an adequate number of judges for efficient operations. Each judge will
receive the required training by staff, with the Head Judges at each location receiving an
additional hour of training.
Historically, the City has considered service as an election judge to be community service, but
has reimbursed each judge a minimum hourly wage ($5.15), with each of the four (4)
chairpersons (Head Election Judges) reimbursed at an additional $.30 per hour. Staffis
requesting an increase from $.30 to $.50 per hour for these four individuals, to better reflect their
actual responsibilities and judgement at each precinct. Please note that we anticipate having one
(I) trainee election judge this year (high school student) and I recommend we pay $4.25 per
hour, as an employee in training. A trainee election judge is limited in the areas in which they
can serve on Election Day.
Staff recommends that City Hall serve as the Absentee Ballot Precinct, as was done in 1998.
Recommendation
The City Council must appoint election judges to serve at each election within the City. Staff
recommends that the City Council appoint the Election Judges listed on the attached sheets to
serve for the September Primary Election, and authorize appointment of additional Judges as
may be necessary.

CITY OF ARDEN HILLS
MEMORANDUM
DATE:
August 2, 2000
TO:
Mayor and City Council
Jennifer Chaput, City Planne~
Planning Case #00-11
Zoning Ordinance Amendments
FROM:
SUBJECT:
Rellnest
The City of Arden Hills requests that the Zoning Ordinance be revised according to previous
discussions by the Planning Commission and staff, as outlined below in the "proposed
changes" section of this memo.
Backl!Tound
In response to resident complaints, staff has identified that some portions of the Zoning
Ordinance that require revision in order to properly address complaints. The revisions are a
result of researching other cities' ordinances as well as staff and Planning Commission
discussions.
The recommendations of the Planning Commission came before the City Council on July
3 I, 2000. At that time, the City Council tabled discussion of the amendments to the next
regular meeting on August 14, 2000. Since this time, City's planning consultant had been
consulted on the definition of "family" as it is used in other cities and some additional
recommendations were made.
The existing language from the Zoning Ordinance is shown in regular type. In the proposed
changes, the language that should be deleted is sfHelceli and new language that should be
added is shown in CAPITAL LETTERS.
ProDosed Chanl!es
1. The City has received a number of complaints in the past on single family homes that
have been converted into housing for numerous students attending the local colleges.
The current code does not have any language in it to deter this type of activity,
essentially allowing multifamily dwellings in single-family zoning districts. Following
discussions with the City's planning consultant, it was also recommended that the
definition of "household" be amended since it did not match the other definition
amendments being proposed. Some additional language has also been added to the
definition of "family" in order to address state law regarding group homes, as
recommended by the City's planning consultant.
.
Amend Section II (0) Definitions, numbers 43, 47,53 and 66 as follows:
43. Dwelling. A building, or portion thereof, designed or used exclusively for
human haBitation, aFu:l eSflsisting sf eRC or mere a~TT/011illg 1:l.fl1ts
RESIDENTIAL OCCUPANCY, INCLUDING SINGLE-FAMILY, TWO-
FAMILY AND MULTIPLE FAMILY USES, BUT NOT INCLUDING
HOTELS, MOTELS, NURSING HOMES, BOARDING OR ROOMING
HOUSES, TENTS, SEASONAL CABINS, OR MOTOR HOMES OR
TRAVEL TRAILERS.
47. Dwelling unit. One er mere reems wmcb are !lffElRgca aRa aesignea as living
qaarters fur a single amwcbeJa eE[Ri]3psa with complete ceelling, balfiing,
toilet, sle8fling ana heating facilities, but excluding mobile hemes, ana ifl
y;llieh the eccupants liye lIRa eat separately from ether pemeRs liying iR the
builaiflg ane '...meb ha'/e airect aeeess frem the eatsiae of the builaiHg or
threHgh a eommOR ball. A RESIDENTIAL BUILDING OR PORTION
THEREOF INTENDED FOR OCCUPANCY BY ONE (I) FAMILY WITH
FACILITIES FOR LIVING, SLEEPING, COOKING AND EATING BUT
NOT INCLUDING HOTELS, MOTELS, NURSING HOMES, TENTS,
SEASONAL CABINS, BOARDING OR ROOMING HOUSES, MOTOR
HOMES OR TRAVEL TRAILERS.
.
53. Family. An individual or two (2) or more persons, li..'ing togelfier as a siagle
ReR pl'eHt houseke8fliRg lHlit, using eRe kitefien as aistiflguishee Kem a gnJRp
oectljlying a hotel, clHl3, fmteFflify or sererity house. EACH RELATED TO
THE OTHER BY BLOOD, MARRIAGE, ADOPTION, OR FOSTER CARE,
OR A GROUP OF NOT MORE THAN FOUR (4) PERSONS, SOME OR
ALL OF WHOM ARE NOT RELATED BY BLOOD, MARRIAGE OR
ADOPTION, LIVING TOGETHER AND MAINTAINING A COMMON
HOUSEHOLD. (THESE REGULATIONS SHALL NOT BE APPLIED SO
AS TO PREVENT THE CITY FROM MAKING REASONABLE
ACCOMMODATION AS REQUIRED BY THE FEDERAL FAIR
HOUSING AMENDMENTS ACT OF 1988).
66. Household. The person or persons occupying a single dwelling unit. A
hORsehela may ceRsist ef a single family, eHe ]3erS0n liying alone, 1'.ve er
more families li?ing together er any grstljl ef lin relatea persens '.vae sflllfe
liviag; arFlIRgemeftts.
.
2. The definition for "building, accessory" is not inclusive of all structures. Since there are
restrictions on accessory structures, it should be clearly defined. Also, there is no limit
on the amount of accessory structures permitted. The accessory structure setbacks are in
conflict in some sections (10' for accessory structures yet principal structures in the
same district only require a 5' setback) so this language is proposed to be amended.
2
.
.
.
Finally, the term "parking structure" is not defined in the code so it has been amended
for "private garage" which is defined.
Amend Section II (D) #19, Building, accessory and renumber accordingly:
19. BailEliag, asssssor/. ACCESSORY BUILDING, STRUCTURE OR USE. -
A subordinate building, tfie Hse ef whisll is iaeiEleatal to tile j'lrffieipallJUilElillg

SAME LOT ON WHICH THE PRINCIPAL BUILDING OR USE IS
SITUATED AND WHICH IS REASONABLY NECESSARY,
APPROPRIATE AND INCIDENTAL TO THE CONDUCT OF THE
PRIMARY USE OF SUCH PRINCIPAL BUILDING OR PRINCIPAL USE.
Amend Section VI (A) #5, Size as follows:
5. Size. In R-l and R-2 Districts, no accessory structure shall exceed seven
hundred twenty eight (728) square feet in floor area and for accessory structures
located in the rear of a principle structure, the total floor area of all such
accessory structures shall not exceed twenty-five (25) percent of the minimum
required rear yard area for the principal structure BUT THERE SHALL BE NO
MORE THAN TWO (2) ACCESSORY STRUCTURES ON A LOT.
Amend Section VI (F) #1 h, Parking Structures as follows:
(h) P-arking St,"UehmJ5. PRIVATE GARAGES. The minimum setbacks ofparkiag
strnetlffss PRIVATE GARAGES shall be AS REQUIRED FOR ACCESSORY
STRUCTURES the S81tiS as for j'lriaeipal lmilEliags in the district and the

3. It is not clear in the ordinance that all newly created properties need to abut a public
street. The only information that is provided does not refer to all districts.
Amend Section VI (F) #3, Traffic and Circulation as follows:
3
.
.
.
a. Accessibility to Public Streets. All commercial and industrial buildings or
structures and their accessory uses AND RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT DWELLING
UNITS shall be accessible to and from A nearby public streets.
4. The number of driveways or curb cuts for a residential property is not limited. There are
no requirements to pave driveway surfaces, setbacks to a driveway or permitted parking
locations on a lot.
Complaints regarding the number of vehicles on a property at one time are addressed by
limiting the number of vehicles permitted outside of a garage. Other cities were
researched specifically on this issue and it was found that it is generally dealt with by
limiting the width of a driveway which in turn limits the number of vehicles that can
park at any given time. Generally, cities have a minimum (not maximum) number of
spaces required of two per dwelling unit. The proposed number of a maximum of three
cars on a driveway was a result of Planning Commission discussion and the proposed
number has not changed from further research.
Finally, State and County regulations for streets should be confirmed with these
regulatory bodies at that time and the code should not list their requirements, in the case
that they have changed or are incorrect.
Amend Section VI (F) #1 C , Construction Standards, as follows:
C. Construction Standards. Those standards apply to all development ~
siRgle family aRa two family reaideRees.
(I) Surfacing. Off-street parking areas and drives shall be improved with
eHlIHliRsuS, eEJRerete sr aoplJ.altie eORerete A PAVED surface. Such
areas shall be so graded and drained so as to dispose of all surface water
accumulation within the area as required by the Rice Creek Watershed
district.
(2) Curbs. A concrete curb and gutter shall be constructed FOR ALL
DEVELOPMENTS according to the requirements of the City EXCEPT
FOR SINGLE AND TWO-FAMILY RESIDENCES.
Amend Section VI (F) #3 C, Driveways, as follows:
(1) Driveway widths.
THE PERMITTED WIDTH OF ACCESSES TO COUNTY OR STATE
STREETS OR ROADS ARE SUBJECT TO COUNTY OR STATE
REGULATIONS. The following are the required driveway widths for
driveways accessing the following types of streets or roads, the measurements
being between the edges of the driveway at right angles thereto:

Add to Section VI (F) #3 C, Driveways, and renumber accordingly:

. IN ALL RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS, PARKING SHALL BE
PROHIBITED IN ANY AREA, EXCEPT ON DESIGNATED
DRIVEWAYS LEADING DIRECTLY INTO A GARAGE. THERE MAY
BE NO MORE THAN THREE VEHICLES PARKED ON THE
DRIVEWAY ON A REGULAR BASIS.
5. The City of Arden Hills does not have any agricultural districts, yet there are regulations
for agricultural fences and agricultural uses (as both permitted and accessory in certain
zoning districts). From a planning perspective, encouraging agricultural uses do not meet
the intentions ofthe Comprehensive Plan.
Amend Section VI (E) #4 D, Barbs or Spikes on Fences as follows:
d. ELECTRIC FENCES AND Barbs or Spikes on Fences. No ABOVE GRADE
fence shall have barbs or spikes at Bfi)' ]9siBt less tIJ.!IIl six (6) feet a8sve the

6. In the 1999 Legislative Session, the City's power to amortize land uses was revoked, as
stated in Chapter 96-S.F. No 854. The only uses that a city may amortize are those
relating to, "...adult-only bookstores, adults-only theatres, or similar adults-only
business as defined by ordinance..." and for "...the prevention or abatement of
nuisances.. .or eliminating a use determined to be a public nuisance.. .". Therefore, the
language that is currently in the zoning ordinance regarding amortizing nonconforming
uses should be revised.
Amend Section IX (H), Amortization of Nonconforming Use as follows:
H. Amortization ofNOlicsflfsmHflg IIse ALLOWED BY LAWS OF MINNESOTA
1999, CHAPTER 96
}. lmilaiflg eOflstiHitiftg or eoataifliflg a floRcsflfoffilmg ase shaH Be tom as?:fl

AUTHORITY TO ENACT AND ENFORCE AN AMORTIZATION OF USE
ORDINANCE PURSUANT TO LAWS OF MINNESOTA 1999, CHAPTER
96.
7. The numbering system of the ordinance is currently in Roman numerals and is difficult
to follow. Staff proposes that this be changed for ease of use as well as the page
numbering system, numbering pages from one (I) to the last page ofthe document. Also,
for ease of future revisions, the document should be placed in a binder with section tabs.
Amend and renumber all pages, Sections and the Table of Contents of the City of
Arden Hills Zoning Ordinance as follows:
