Mr Aaron Parrish
City of Arden Hills
1245 West Highway 96
Arden Hills, MN 55112-5794
November 23, 2001
Dear Mr Parrish,
The development proposed at the comer of Cleveland Avenue and County Rd E2 has
fostered significant discussion. In light of the letter you and the City Council received
via fax on November 13th from Beacon Construction, I am compelled to clarifY my
personal position on this matter.
.
In my opinion, the real issues are more about timing and information than trees and
traffic. True, altering the site after so many years would have a big emotional impact on
people in the neighborhood. Respecting that, I also respect a property owner's right to
propose development as they see fit. Discussion on vegetation should not be construed as
something on which common ground cannot be found. Additional traffic generated by a
project ofthis size is not expected to hinder obtaining the necessary road access permit
from Ramsey County, either. The existing traffic problem is not the project's to solve.
However, citizen concern for safety and congestion at the intersection is valid and will
remain an open issue until addressed through other channels. (Construction of walking
paths would be a big step toward addressing pedestrian safety in the neighborhood.)
With that said, I reiterate my concerns.
I) That due diligence be included as part of the review process. Unfortunately, that could
delay the construction schedule. I understand Beacon and Bethel's concern for time, but
their focus on schedule as the critical path leaves me uneasy. Whatever is constructed
will be there for many years.
2) A comer property has very high visibility. I think that raises the bar, aesthetically and
functionally, for any project. To desire a better understanding ofthe development is
reasonable. Projects can benefit from an iterative process and initial proposals often
include some wiggle room for accommodating change. That building height and parking
exceed current code signal additional scrutiny.
3) Knowledge of impact on the wetland is a high priority regardless of which property is
proposed for development or who owns it. Given that Rice Creek Watershed has granted
preliminary permit approval for this project, we trust that wetland issues will be handled
appropriately.
.

,
.
4) Requesting specific project information seems prudent given the site's size and shape,
existing easements and topography. Consideration does not preclude approvaL
Supporting facts and design details should stand on their own merit or be modified as
appropriate.
These statements are consistent with my previous comments. Perhaps with a little up
front time and effort, Beacon could have "sold" the project to our governing body and
citizens. Instead, unfortunately, there is perception that an attempt was made to slip it
Ihrough. I honestly hope contention will not impede productive dialog or satisfactory
resolution on this issue.
Regarding rezoning of the property, my feelings are mixed. I trust the council to make
the best decision as this change is considered. In closing, this may also be the best time
to coordinate with preliminary information, if any is available from MNfDOT or a traffic
engineer, on planned upgrades to the bridge or freeway width that could effect future
changes to the grade of surrounding roads. If that potential exists, it could bear on the
most appropriate elevation for first floor level and final grade of a current development.
Good luck to all as deliberations continue.
.
Sincerely,
~~~::=t

PS. It is true that my husband, Jolm, and I own property north of Cottage Villas that
Bethel considered purchasing. However, it is not true that my interest in this proposed
development is motivated by the fact that they declined on that purchase. It is an affront
that public concern is interpreted as a desire to block development. As property owners
and taxpayers, we have a vested interest in the quality of our neighborhood and
community.

To Whom It May Concern:
We are the current owners of2014, 2020 and 2030 Glen Paul Ave. We have the
following concerns about the proposed building plans for the adjacent, vacant lot on
County Road D and Cleveland Ave:
I. The set-back variance requested for the building and parking lot that will decrease
our privacy and could affect property value;
2. The privacy that will be lost due to the building's having an upper level;
3. The water that will now be draining between the two properties due to the large
parking lot and building. There will be a lot of water draining into the ditch. If it
is clogged from piled snow or debris, it could flood the surrounding houses or
property. This area has flooded in the past.
4. What impact will the pollution from the leaking gas have on us?
5. Whal impact will the parking lot lighting have on us?
.
Privacy is currently provided by a six foot privacy fence on top of the retaining waIL
There is also an existing three foot chain link fence on the property line which does not
provide privacy from the vacant lot. During the planning commission meeting held on
December 5, Mark McGuire talked about the need to maintain the privacy offered by the
fence. There was confusion about which fence Mark was referring to. Mark was
referring to the six foot privacy fence set back ten feet from the property line on top of
the retaining waiL Maintaining this privacy is necessary because there is a two foot
(larger on some properties) difference in elevation between our property and the vacant
lot Putting a six foot fence on the property line will not maintain the current privacy
provided by the existing, set back privacy fence on top of the retaining wall. Ifa six foot
fence is put on the property line, we will have plain view of the parking lot at all times.
Weare very concerned that the city is considering waiving the set back requirements for
the parking lot Furthermore I have learned from the commission meeting that the
building being considered will have an upper floor. When we purchased our house we
considered the privacy we would lose when the lot was developed. I decided it would be
very difficult to put a two story building on the lot due to the size of the lot
We have come up with solutions that would be satisfactory to us. They are as follows:
.
1. Reduce building to one level and meet set back requirements for building and
parking lot;
2. Build an eight-foot or higher privacy fence on the property line;
3. Leave the current privacy fence that is set back ten feet from the property line that
sits on top of the retaining wall;
4. Provide an eight to ten foot hedge on top of the retaining wall that would provide
year -round privacy and put a six foot fence on the property line. This option
would require planting some type of pine or cedar tree that would not lose its
leaves in the winter;
5. Require snow to be removed off-site;
6. Assure that the snow will not be piled in a way that interferes with drainage;
t
.
.
.
7. Drain water to other areas;
8. Pollution impact study;
9. Light study;
10. No manipulation of site plans if approved. Builders often manipulate plans to
their benefit.
Weare open to other ideas for drainage and set back requirements and for privacy that
will keep the same level of privacy that currently exists from the privacy fence built up
from the retaining wall.
We believe these are reasonable requests considering the variances that are being
requested by the developer. If our needs are not addressed, we are willing to take our
complainls to the next level. Weare very serious and concerned about these issues and
are willing to do whatever is necessary in the future to have our concerns taken care of
We have not had enough notice to address Ihese issues. The first I heard oflhis is with
the letter you sent out a little over a week ago. Some neighbors have not been notified
and have not heard anything for over a year. Please give us more time.
Sincerely,

Dear City Planning Directors,
My wife, children, (2 and 7 years) and I live at 2033 County Road D. We have the understanding
that Mr. Steve Nelson has bought and will be developing the wooded lot -West of our property, We
have major concerns of this situation and were disappointed that we were not informed (or kept up
to date on this matter.
After all the lot that has been vacant for 20 years; we buy our house, and now the woods will be
taken down. We have deer that visit from time to time, including our backyard, there are also
bluejays, white and red squirrel's, and several cardinals. However this is important, but not the major
concern. We really appreciate what nature has to offer our home and our family. Please review our
concerns that could affect our lives, home, and privacy.
1) My property value was recently appraised at $160,000,
A) Will our property value decrease after a 2 story building is butted against our property?
B) Will we ever have real privacy even with a 6' fence and new trees?
. Please keep in mind that we will be retired after the newly planted trees are full grown.
C) Even with a fence, the building will be two stories and there will be no privacy in our yard.
D) Will we even have west sunshine in our backyard anymore? The building is two stories.
E) How close will this building be to our property? Do we really have to take down this small
woods that have been there forever? Why?
2) I work late nights. After I teach classes (PM) , I also have my advertisement business to run, so...
NOISE! NOISE! NOISEI
A) When will the construction begin? End?
B) What will be their hours?
C)The kids and our bedroom are right next to where the construction will take place.
Will we get to sleep sometime after 6:00am?
D) Sounds like the "RAMP" will be built closest to our home. Noise? I Lighting? I Trucks?
E) How often will there be ramp traffic? PM or AM hours?
F) Fume smell?
.
3) Traffic for our Neighborhood and street.
A) Will there be more traffic- to and fro? Late night snow plows?
B) Will a bus line be added now?
C) The bike trail is near, will there be a sidewalk built?
D) What type of people will the building occupy? Security Building?
E) Outdoor Breakroom? Where?
F) Route to Kens Market?

About a year and a half ago Mr. Nelson was in the process of purchasing and developing this
~operty. My wife and I had went to the city council meeting and expressed our many concerns.
_ter this meeting the project was delayed for six months. We haven't heard a word since than, and
now 1 1!2 years later we have had people taking pictures in our front yard and of our home. We've
also had people in the woods next door cutting and measuring. I understand this neighboring lot is
not our property, but as a home-owner in Arden Hills, I feel it is somewhat our responsibility to keep
a watch for the city, and fellow neighbors for crime and trespassers. So I get nervous when I hear or
see people in the woods
Why were we not informed that this project was back in effect? It was nothing for a year and a half
than- BANG, we have 100 hundred new neighborhoods, a no sun backyard, and a brick wall to
learn to appreciate.
I apologize if I sound upset, but I kind of am. I received a phone call about 3-4 days ago from Mr.
Nelson. He stated that a final City Council! City Planning Development was going to take place on
1215101 at 7:30pm. Unfortunately with this short notice I was unable to schedule another instructor to
pick up my class. Especially now that it's 2 weeks before finals. I was unable to attend this meeting.
Where do we stand? Do we have anything to say? Does our opinion count? There are several
businesses across the street. Why do we need another one?
I am not a bitter man. As a matter in fact, most people say I am a pretty nice guy. I would just like to
voice an opinion, have our suggestions & concerns considered, and be informed on specific
.tuations especially business developments that will be kissing my property.
Thank you for your time and I look forward to your understanding and response. I can be reached at
my home: (651) 635-9512 Studio: (651) 487-5395 Cell: (651) 285-2745.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Joe Lynch, City Administrato~~
SUBJECT: 2002 Pay Plan and Benefit Reimbursement
DATE: December 6, 2001
cc: Terry Post, City Accountant
Tom Moore, Interim Public Works Direction and Parks and Recreation Director
Backl!round
Each year the City Council reviews and determines whether or not to make an adjustment to the
pay plan in place and the current level of benefit reimbursement coverage provided to the
employees of the City.
The Pay Plan is the current configuration of salary ranges for each position within the City. An
adjustment to the Pay Plan is an adjustment to the salary range for each position.
The current benefit reimbursement coverage provided by the City is $400. This is intended to
cover the cost of single health and dental insurance for each employee.
Recently the City Council decided to allow those employees who elect single health and dental
coverage to use the difference between our costs and the reimbursement level for deferred
compensation. The cost of single health insurance will be $261.16 and the cost for single dental
insurance will be $31.49 beginning January I, 2002.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council adjust the 2002 Pay Plan for the City of Arden Hills 3%
and adjust the benefit reimbursement amount by 3% as well (to $412 for all non-union
employees) as of January I, 2002.

policy. Users should not consider internet
e-mail to be private or secure.

password, and authorized employees are
prohibited from giving their password to
any other person, except as provided for
in this policy. The password remains the
property of the City, and all passwords
must be disclosed to the Director of
Administration.
SECTION IV. Uses of E-mail System
The City provides an e-mail system to
employees for their use in performing their
duties for the City. All employees of the
City are responsible for using the e-mail
system in an effective, ethical, and lawful
manner. It is the City policy that the e-
mail system, like other City assets, be
used for the benefit of the City. All e-mail
use should be congruent with the City's
overall government policies. The City
reserves the right to monitor andlor log all
network activity with or without notice,
including all web site communications;
and, therefore, users should have no
expectation of privacy in the use of these
resources. Use of the system in violation
of this or other City policies is prohibited
and may lead to disciplinary action, up to
and including termination.
A. The City's e-mail system shall not
be used for unacceptable or
unrelated purposes, including but
not limited to the following:
(1) To send or receive "chain" or
similar type "letters."
(2) To send and receive music, video,
and related media files that have
no business purpose.
(3) To send and receive software
without prior authorization of the
network administrator.
(4) To send or receive documents in
violation of copyright or other
laws.
(5) To knowingly open mail not
directed to you. Except to the
extent that the City reserves the
right to access and review all
electronic uses and records, e-
mail messages are confidential.
(6) To send messages in violation of
City security policies.
(7) To forward electronic messages
without a legitimate business
purpose, under circumstances
likely to lead to embarrassment of
the sender or to violate the clearly
expressed desire of the sender to
restrict additional dissemination.
(8) To send messages that are false
or misleading, inaccurate,
abusive, obscene, pornographic,
profane, sexually-oriented,
threatening, offensive,
discriminatory, or illegal, including
but not limited to sending
messages under an assumed
name or with intent to obscure the
origin of the message.
(9) To solicit or prosely1ize for
commercial ventures, religious or
political causes, outside
organizations other non-job
related solicitations.
B. Avoid "carbon copying" individuals
who have no direct involvement or
4
City of Arden Hills Technology Policy
"need to know." Likewise, e-mail to all
users should only be used on very
rare occasions when every person on
the system has a direct need to know.
C. Avoid "forwarding" e-mail to a third
party unless necessary (see "carbon
copying). When forwarding, explain
the reason for the forwarding action
and edit out any potentially
inappropriate contents. If in doubt
about the appropriateness of
forwarding a given piece of mail,
check with the originator for guidance.
D. When sending an e-mail requiring
"action," be sure to indicate which mail
recipient(s) is/are to take action.
E. Do not "say" anything in an e-mail
message that could prove
embarrassing or compromising to you,
the City, or others. Each employee is
responsible for the content of all text,
audio, or images they transmit.
F. Avoid potentially contentious
exchanges through e-mail.
G. Confidential and sensitive information
such as performance reviews,
disciplinary and/or corrective actions,
attorney-client privileged information,
personnel information, private data as
outlined in the Minnesota Government
Data Practices Act, and health or
medical information should not be
communicated via e-mail.
H. Communications which would be
inappropriate under other City policies
are equally unacceptable if delivered
via electronic communication. These
communications may include, but are
not limited to, harassing or
discriminatory comments, breaches of
confidentiality, and insubordinate
statements.
I. Use your common sense in
determining when to use e-mail, in
what is said, and to whom.
Remember that electronic
communication is not private and the
City reserves the right to monitor and
review all communications originating
from or entering its computer systems.
e
SECTION V. Security and Virus
Protection
A. E-mail and/or internet access may
utilize passwords for security; however
employees should be aware that the
reliability of such tools for maintaining
confidentiality cannot be guaranteed.
Additionally, all passwords must be
made known to the City through the
Director of Administration, and
passwords not known to the City shall
not be used.
B. To prevent computer viruses from
being transmitted through the system,
employees are not permitted to
download or install any software onto
their computers or any drives in those
computers. When downloading a fife
or opening an e-mail attachment,
users must scan all materials with City
provided virus protection software.
Additional consideration of policies
and communications from the City's
network administrator should also be
used in determining how to handle
potentially damaging e-mail or fifes.
e
SECTION VI. Other Technology Issues
Beyond the use of internet and e-mail,
there are several other issues to consider
when utilizing City-owned technology,
including personal computer and network
usage.
.
5
e
e
e
City of Arden Hills Technology Policy
A. Copying Software and Programs
Most computer software and programs
are copyrighted, and it is illegal to make
multiple copies. Employees may only
copy and use software in accordance with
the software license agreement. If there
is any question about the appropriate use
of the software, employees should contact
the Director of Administration.
B. Only Authorized Software Allowed
No external, personal, or downloaded
software and/or hardware shall be
installed without prior approval by the
network administrator.
C. Backing Up/Deleting Files
All files stored on the network will be
backed up on a regular basis. Files that
are stored on a users hard drive will not
be backed up.
D. Management of Files
Because the storage capacity of the
network is limited, all users are
responsible for deleting outdated files.
Users are also responsible minimizing the
amount of large files such as graphics
contained on the network.
E. Work Product Ownership
All information developed on a City
computer system or introduced to a City
computer system is the property of the
City, regardless of where it was created.
Likewise, all information developed by a
City employee on computers outside of
the City, if in conjunction with his or her
employment with the City, is the property
of the City, regardless of where it was
created.
F. Network Virus Protection
Users shall not change their system
configuration or take other steps to defeat
virus protection devices or systems.
Individual employees are responsible for
verifying that disks and other storage
media used or received from outside
computers are scanned for viruses prior to
their use on City computers. Please
request assistance if you are unsure of
how to scan files, disks, or related storage
media for viruses.
G. Access to Data
A user's ability to view, add, or modify the
configuration of their PC's and network
files is based on access rights configured
by the network administrator. These can
be changed if needed. Contact the
network administrator to request changes
to user access rights.
H. Calendar/Scheduler Use Policy
All employees who have Microsoft
Outlook should use the
calendar/scheduler feature to schedule all
appointments and meetings. All
meetings, vacations, and appointments
should be updated on calendars on a
daily basis.
I. Computer Training
Employees are encouraged to seek
additional training and education in the
use of software applications and related
technology. Training should be pertinent
to the employee's job responsibilities and,
to the extent possible should take place
outside the normal workday.
On a case-by-case basis, the cost of
training will be incurred by the City
depending on the availability of funds and
City needs. An employee must have prior
6
City of Arden Hills Technology Policy
authorization from their supervisor to
enroll in any training paid for by the City.
SECTION VII. Enforcement
This policy is intended to be illustrative of
the range of acceptable and unacceptable
uses of the internet and e-mail systems
provided by the City and is not necessarily
exhaustive. Questions about specific
uses should be directed to the user's
supervisor.
Prior to accessing the internet and e-mail
systems, employees shall review this
policy and sign the attached consent form.
The Director of Administration and/or the
employees supervisor will review alleged
or suspected violations of this policy, and
clear violations may result in disciplinary
actions. Any user violating these
provisions or applicable local, state, or
federal laws is subject to immediate loss
of or restrictions on interneUe-mail
privileges, additional disciplinary actions,
up to and including termination of
employment, and/or criminal prosecution.
SECTION VIII. Consent Agreement
As a condition of employment, all City
employees must acknowledge that all
computer and electronic systems,
including but not limited to, e-mail and
internet network activity, are the property
of the City and, therefore, they should not
consider any activity to be private. Prior
to obtaining access to the internet or e-
mail systems, employees must sign the
consent form provided. By signing the
consent form, users acknowledge that
they have received a copy of this policy,
read it, and understand the City's policy
and the potential penalties for non-
compliance.

Municipal Excess Liability Insurance Coverage
FROM:
SUBJECT:
Backe:round
Staff has been working with T.C. Field & Company on its 2002 liability insurance policy
renewal. One of the items the City Council must take action on annually is a determination on its
Excess Liability coverage.
For 2002, the statutory municipal tort liability limit is $300,000 per claimant, with a $750,000
limit total that all claimants would be able to recover for a single occurrence. In recent years, the
City Council has elected not to waive the monetary limits on tort liability.
Recommendation
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a motion electing not to waive the monetary limits on
tort liability established by Minnesota Statutes in the area of Excess Liability coverage.
\
LMCIT LIABILITY COVERAGE - WAIVER FORM
e
Cities obtaining liability coverage from the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust must decide
whether or not to waive the statutory tort liability limits to the extent of the coverage purchased. The
decision to waive or not to waive the statutory limits has the following effects:
If the city does not waive the statutory tort limits, an individual claimant would be able to recover no
more than $300,000 on any claim to which the statutory tort limits apply. The total which all claimants
would be able to recover for a single occurrence to which the statutory tort limits apply would be limited
to $750,000. These statutory tort limits would apply regardless of whether or not the city purchases the
optional excess liability coverage.
If the city waives the statutory tort limits and does not purchase excess liability coverage, a single
claimant could potentially recover up to $750,000 on a single occurrence. The total which all claimants
would be able to recover for a single occurrence to which the statutory tort limits apply would also be
limited to $750,000, regardless of the number of claimants.
If the city waives the statutory tort limits and purchases excess liability coverage, a single claimant
could potentially recover an amount up to the limit of the coverage purchased. The total which all
claimants would be able to recover for a single occurrence to which the statutory tort limits apply would
also be limited to the amount of coverage purchased, regardless of the nwnber of claimants.
Claims to which the statutory municipal tort limits do not apply are not affected by this decision.
e
This decision must be made by the city council. Cities purchasing coverage must complete and return
this form to LMCIT before the effective date of the coverage. For further information, contact LMCIT.
You may also wish to discuss these issues with your city attorney.

Master and Final Planned Unit Development
According to the Zoning Ordinance, "the 'PUD' District promotes the development of land in a
unified manner by treating the entire development as a single entity. . . ." Since this project went
through a concept review process in 1999, the applicant has elected to have both the Master and
Final PUD considered concurrently. Generally, the purposes of the Neighborhood Business District
are:
a. To be located at the edge of residential neighborhoods.
b. To provide a limited range of over-the-counter, convenience, retail, and service
uses to accommodate the needs of the adj acent residents.
c. To place limitations on the type, size and intensity of uses within this district,
given its proximity to residential uses.
d. To place emphasis on convenience for pedestrian, bicycle, and public
transportation access to the use.
e. To accommodate, where possible, a public commons giving residents a place to
gather and interact with one another.
f. To ensure adequate buffering is provided on these sites for the adjacent residential
uses.
g. To require, where applicable, compliance with the City's gateway requirements.
The following provides an evaluation of site plan and related requirements based on the attached
plan set:
1. Lot Area, Size and Setbacks -All Code Requirements Met
As the site data in the overview section indicates, the property is .74 acres, or 32,234 square
feet. The Neighborhood Business Zoning District requires a minimum lot area of 13,000
2

square feet for non-residential uses. The following table highlights the setback requirements:
Minimum Buildinl! Setbacks Reouired ProDosed at Shortest Point
Front Yard 20 Feet 129 Feet
Rear Yard 20 Feet 30 Feet
Side Yard -Interior 5 Feet 20 Feet
Side Yard -Comer 20 Feet 30 Feet
2. Lot Coverage - Code Requirement Met
The Neighborhood Business District requires that no more than 35% of the lot be covered by
structure. The proposed building footprint is 6,254 square feet, while the parcel is 32,234 square
feet. This results in 19 percent of the lot being covered by structure, or approximately half ofthe
code maximum.
3. Floor Area Ratio - Code Requirement Met
The floor area ratio is obtained by dividing the sum of a buildings floor area by the amount ofthe
lot area. The floor area ratio cannot exceed 0.7 for the Neighborhood Business District. The
FAR for this project is 0.28, much less than the maximum permitted.
4. Landscape Lot Area - Code Requirement Met
The minimum amount oflandscape area for the Neighborhood Business District is 35% ofthe
lot area. The proposal shows 14,400 square feet oflandscape area ofthe total lot area of32,234
square feet or 45%.
A detailed landscape plan is also included in the plan set. Under the City's landscape plan design
requirements, 28 caliper inches of landscaping is required. The applicant has exceeded this
requirement by proposing 143 caliper inches of trees. The applicant also meets the requirements
of caliper inches relative to building height.
5. Height - Meets Code Requirement
The maximum building height allowed in the Neighborhood Business District is 35 feet. The
proposed elevations show a building height of 30 feet when measured from the first floor.
6. Parking. - Slight Deviation from Requirements
The Zoning Ordinance requires 1 parking space for every 250 square feet of gross floor area.

Memo to Planning Commission
Planning Case #01-30
Page 4 of8
With 8900 gross square feet of office being proposed, it is necessary to provide 36 spaces to meet
the code requirement. The applicant is proposing 36 total spaces. The following table
summarizes the provision of parking on the site:
Code Re uirement
36 S aces
Pro osed Parkin
36 S aces
In addition, the Zoning Ordinance requires that the spaces be not less than 9 feet by 18 feet in
size. As the site plan indicates, the applicant is proposing the 6 stalls in the southwest comer of
the property be 9 feet by 16 feet. These stalls will be designated for compact cars only. Parking
setback requirements are highlighted below:
Minimum Parkin!! Setbacks Reouired Proposed at Shortest Point
Parking ROW 20 Feet County D: 17 Feet
Cleveland: 18 Feet
Parking Side and Rear 5 Feet 14 Feet
As the table above indicates, the proposed parking setback from the County Road D and
Cleveland Avenue right-of-way is slightly less than the required 20 feet. Since this is a PUD, a
deviation from the code requirement is permissible without granting a variance. The entire
parking area will be curbed, surfaced and striped in accordance with City design standards.
7. Access and Circulation. - Meets Code Requirement
Access to the property is proposed from Cleveland A venue and County Road D. The access to
the public street is proposed to be 24 feet wide. A permit from Ramsey County would need to be
obtained for the curb cut. Their minimum requirement is typically 26 feet. Based on the City's
zoning code requirements, both of the accesses are located a sufficient distance from the
intersection. The Fire Inspector has reviewed the plans and is satisfied with the access and
circulation ofthe properly.
8. Screening - Meets Code Requirement
Significant landscaping is proposed to screen both the parking on site and adjacent properties.
Board on Board fencing is proposed for screening the residential properties on the north, while
substantial landscaping, including three 16' high spruce trees, and two large sugar maples are
proposed to screen the residential property on the east.. A wall of approximately twenty-seven 6
foot high coniferous trees will also provide screening to these properties.
While the above does provide a high level of screening, the neighborhood business district also
4
e
e
e
Memo to Planning Commission
Planning Case #01-30
Page 5 of8
requires that 30 foot buffer yards be maintained adj acent to all residential uses "such that the use
is effectively screened from the adjacent residences." The required buffer yard is substantially
maintained on the east side of the property. On the northern part ofthe property, a 14 foot buffer
yard is provided. However, this would seemingly be an acceptable deviation given the
landscaping and fencing provided. Since this is a PUD, deviation from certain requirements is
permissible.
A trash enclosure is proposed for the property. Based on the requirements of the neighborhood
business district, it must be a masonry enclosure.
9. Lighting - Meets Code Requirements
Lighting is identified on the site plan. A photometric was not provided, but this will be detailed
in the architectural package. The Zoning Ordinance requires that all lighting be directed away
from adjoining lots or public streets and must be hooded so that light is only directed onto the
subject property. Additional neighborhood business requirements include the following:
. Lighting is not permitted to wash the building. Accent lighting delineating the main
entrance to the building is permissible.
. Security and parking lot lighting shall be on pedestals not to exceed 14 feet in height.
Two 14 foot high shoebox style lights are contemplated on the landscape island. Given the
requirements of the neighborhood business district, the lighting provided should go beyond
standard shoebox lighting contemplated in the site plan. A condition requiring decorative lights
as approved by City staff has been incorporated into the recommendation.
10. Sign age - Exceeds Code Requirement
The newly revised sign code allows for 60 square feet of freestanding signage. Additionally,
the sign ordinance only allows for one freestanding sign per property. The proposed site plan
contemplates two 50 square foot monument signs adjacent to each of the accesses. After
discussion with the applicant, he indicated that he would like to revise the proposal to include
two 30 square foot signs. Since the property has access to two public streets, the revised
request would seemingly be reasonable. The signs should be located to maintain a clear
vision triangle.
11. Grading and Utilities. Requires Revision based on Evaluation by City Engineer
The property would be serviced by existing utilities (sewer, water, gas, electric, and telephone).
Please see the November 29, 2001 Memo from the City Engineer regarding other issues
surrounding drainage and utilities. Master and Final PUD approval should be conditioned on
5
e
e
e
Memo to Planning Commission
Planning Case #01-30
Page 6 of8
approval of a detailed utility plan by the City Engineer. A revised grading and drainage plan
addressing the issues in the City Engineer's memo will also need to be submitted and approved
by the City Engineer. Silt fencing will be placed around the property during construction.
12. Aesthetics
A colored building elevation will be provided at the meeting for your review. The neighborhood
business district requires the following with regard to building exteriors:
. Accomplishing the stated purpose of the NB District requires particular concern for the
design of buildings, site features (such as landscaping, lighting, and signage) and site
design. The arrangement, geometry, massing, materials and colors shall be responsive to
existing buildings, site features and site design on adjoining sites in the district.
. Sloped Roofs shall be utilized on all principal and accessory structures. Roofing
materials and design shall be consistent with those found in the adj acent residential
neighborhoods.
. Exterior Materials shall include only face brick, stone, glass, or natural wood products.
All walls shall be treated with the same exterior materials.
In the applicant's project description, he indicates that the building will be a combination of
stone or brick and stucco. The stone or brick element would meet the Neighborhood Business
District criteria. However, stucco would be the primary building material. Since stucco is a
plaster based building material, this does not appear to meet the specific criteria. However, given
configuration of the building, brick or stone may not be a viable option. Accordingly, stucco
would seem to be an appropriate substitute material.
13. Additional Neighborhood Business Requirements
. The Neighborhood Business District requires that sidewalks be put in place along public
rights of way. An existing bituminous trail currently runs North/South on Cleveland Avenue.
There is currently no sidewalk running East/West on County Road D. According the Park
and Recreation Director, this is a planned trail connection. The applicant should install a
publicly dedicated trail adjacent to the right-of-way on County Road D, and replace the
existing trail on Cleveland. Both should be at least 6 feet wide and interconnect at the
intersection.
. This area is designated as a community "Gateway" to the City of Arden Hills. The applicant
has agreed to provide and easement at the intersection of County Road D and Cleveland for
Gateway signage purposes.

. The Neighborhood Business District requires that "Bicycle Racks shall be provided in an
area that is convenient to the main entryway into the building."

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
FOR
3130 NO. CLEVELAND AVENUE
The project consists of construction of a one and one-half
(1-1/2) story office building on the vacant lot located on the
northeast corner of County Road "D" and Cleveland Avenue. The
lot (146.67' x 225') consists of .758 acres (33,000 s.f.) of
land. Ramsey County recently upgraded this intersection by
widening the adjacent streets alongside most of the property.
The building has been designed in the prairie style. It
will have a foot print of 6,264 total square feet. The building
will have a low pitched hip roof to be consistent and compatible
with the adjacent residential neighborhood. The exterior will be
e
a combination of stone or brick and stucco.
The building will contain approximately 8,900 s.f. of office
space. It will have offices on the main floor and the partial
second floor. The basement area will be used for storage and
mechanical equipment.
The building is designed to be flexible to meet the needs of
businesses that need smaller office spaces. The main floor will
accommodate up to 4 individual tenants and the second floor has
been designed to be used by 1 or 2 tenants.
Setbacks, landscaping and parking have been placed to
minimize impact on the adjacent residential neighborhood as
determined in the concept POD approved on August 30, 1999.

Mr. Nelson,
On September 25, 2000.1 inspeCted the lot at 3\30 Cleveland Avenue North, Arden Hills.
At the North end of the lot along the fence and ditch, there are several mature Siberian
Elms. These elms are growing in and through the fence and are in potential danger of
falling apart (due to the interrial decay). They are also a hazard because many of these
elms don't have any support roots along the concrete edge of the ditch.
-
The reJ11Jinill!\ lr~~s 011 the propen)' are Boxelder, Siberian Elm, and Willow. They are
either young (weedy) or over grown and are a hazard. They have nOI been maintained at
all as far I can tell. These lrees are considered weed trees (volunteer trees).
In my professional opinion, the safety and future aesthetic value of the property demands
an entire renovation of plant material. I am recommending several replacement options.
These trees include River Birch, Thornless Honcylocust, American Linden. and Austrian
. Pine. These trees are fairly fast gr6wing and can grow well in the most soils. These new
trees can then be'strategically placed for the mal(imum benefit of shade, visual and sound
barrier from the existing surroundings.
Please contact me with questions or concerns at 952-252-0526.
Sincerely,
d b.

County Road 0 and Cleveland Avenue Site Plan, Plan Review
I have reviewed the site plan for the proposed development on the northeast comer of the
intersection of County Road D and Cleveland A venue. Following are my comments:
1. It appears there could be potential drainage problems with the drainage/grading design. The
proposed drainage design has substantial amount of site runoff flowing from the driveway
entrances into County Road 0 and Cleveland A venue. Runoff from the site into the
roadways should be limited by modifying the proposed grade or by adding catchbasins.
There is also a concern of pOlential flooding of the properties to the nonh from the site runoff
via the ditch on the nonh side of the property. An alternative collection area could be a swale
in the boulevard at the intersection comer with an outlet piped to the existing Slonnsewer.
The developer should submit existing and proposed drainagc calculations for the site runoff
to the City Engineer for review.
2. Rice Creek Watershed DiSlfiet will require the developer to apply for a drainage pennit and
provide for stormwater runoff treatmcnt.
3. The developer should submit a derailed utility plan.
4. Details are not clear on the heights of the proposed retaining walls. Some of the taller
sections of wall will require safety railings.
5. The proposed area drain in the lower level will be required to drain into the storm drainage
system. A detail of the connection should be included in rhe utility plan. It appears that a
sump pump will be required for this drain. This shall not be connected to the sanitary sewer
serVIce.
6. The ramp on rhe west side of the proposed building is very st(:ep at 12.75%. This ramp
should not be used for public access.

Ramsey Cfu~y Public Works
SUBJECT: Proposed Site Plan
Nelson Professional Building
DATE:
December 4,2001
The Ramsey County Public Works Department has reviewed the preliminary site plan for
development of the site at Cleveland Avenue at County Road D in the City of Arden Hills. It is
our understanding that you are proposing a two-story office building on that site. Ramsey County
tit has the following comments regarding access and traffic flow for the site plan.
1. Both Cleveland Avenue and County Road D are county roadways under the jurisdiction of
Ramsey County. The traffic count on County Road D is 9450 vehicles per day. The traffic
count on Cleveland Avenue is 4400 vehicles per day. These are 2001 traffic counts taken by
Ramsey County Public Works. Additional traffic generated by this development should not
have a detrimental impact on the county road system.
2. Two access points are proposed for the site, one on County Road D and one on Cleveland
A venue. The access point on Cleveland A venue should be located as far north on the
property as possible and the access on County Road D should be located as far east on the
property as possible. This will provide the maximum separation between the driveways and
the intersection. It is my understanding that the City has requested placement of the building
in this configuration in order to provide a buffer to the residential properties to the east.
Based on the proposed location of the building the access on County Road D is only 95 feet
east of Cleveland Avenue. While this is within county standards for driveway placement it
will make left turns into and out of the site ehtremely difficult at peak hours of the day.
3. Minimum driveway width is 26 feet on County right of way. The driveway width can narrow
down to 24 feet at the property line.
e
4. Pennits from Ramsey County will be required for all work in the County right-of-way. This
includes access and utility pennits.

5. The developer shall protect all in place traffic signal equipment at the intersection of County
Road D and Cleveland A venue. .
6. Ramsey County has a project programmed to reconstruct County Road D between Cleveland
A venue and Pairview A venue in 2004. It appears that the proposed development will not be
significantly impacted by the reconstruction project based on preliminary scoping of the
project.
Thanks for the opportunity to make comments regarding this development. If you have any
questions or need any additional infonnation please give me a call.

This memo responds 10 the items brought up in the plan review by Nick Ll1ldwer.
.1:
Attached are calculations and a copy of the to po showing the property as it was
previously developed. The~e calculations show that the existing storm sewer is 'ldequute
to handle this developmcnl. Additional spot elevations on the Cleveland entrance will
ensure that surface water is directed to the spillway. Also the driveway has a negligible
amount of runoff going directly to COlUlty Road D.
2. Attached is a lette!' from the Rice Creek WSD showing that no permit i.s l'eqLlired.
3. Utility details will be added to the final plans when a building permit is ilppJied j()r and
thc details which have been requested frOm Niek wiJJ be placed on the plans.
4. Retaining wall~ will be finalized on the final plans and railings will be shown.
5. Final details with a S\lmp pump draining the exterior ramp at the lower level \ViII direct

Memo to City Council
Planning Case #01-31
Page 2 of 4
Variance Criteria
The applicant has indicated the primary purpose for requesting a variance is to save an
existing 40" tree on the property, and so a larger backyard can be maintained. The
additional setback requirements associated with a corner lot also present some practical
difficulties for development on the property. Finally, Lake Lane is currently an unimproved
City street and making access to Edgewater Road more desirable.
A. State Requirements
Minnesota State Statue in Chapter 462.357, Subdivision 6, (2), defines "undue
hardship" as:
"... means the property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use if used under conditions
allowed by the official controls, the plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the
property not created by the landowner, and the variance, if granted, will not alter the essential
character of the locality. Economic considerations alone shall not constitute an undue hardship if
reasonable use of the property exists under the terms of the ordinance...:'
e B. City Requirements
Section VIII, D, 4, c and d, of the City's Zoning Ordinance state that,
"Adherence to the provisions of this ordinance is required, except for special cases which arise
because of the configuration of a particular parcel. The condition shall not have been created by
the landowner. A variance or variances of a side of a lot, the shape of the lot or the unusual
terrain prohibit reasonable development equivalent to that which would be permitted without
variance on a similar size lot located in the same district, but which lot has no unusual
configuration. Economic conditions alone shall not be grounds for a variance. In no case shall
the granting of a variance impair the health, safety, comfort and general welfare of the public, nor
will it be contrary to the intent and purpose of the Comprehensive Plan, the official map or this or
any other ordinance of the City".
Variance FindinQs
In order to grant a variance, a physical hardship must be identified, as defined by the City
and State criteria. For this application for a variance, staff can make the following findings:
1. Whether the circumstances for which the variance is requested are unique to the
property.
e
Given the increased setbacks for a corner lot, the flexibility in building placement is
minimized. The significant vegetation on the site is also unique relative to other
properties.
e
Memo to City Council
Planning Case #01-31
Page 3 of 4
2. Whether granting the variance would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the
City's Zoning Code.
The variance would be keeping with the spirit and intent of the zoning code. More
specifically, granting the requested variance would "promote the character of and
preserve and enhance the properties and areas within the city. . . ."
3. Whether the property in question can be put to a reasonable use without granting of
a variance.
Given the setbacks identified below, it does not appear as if a reasonable single
family home can be constructed without the provision of a variance.
4. Whether the hardship was created by the property owner.
The hardship was not created by the property owner. As evidenced by adjacent
properties, lots were platted based on the different requirements at the time.
e 5. Whether granting the variance will alter the essential character of the neighborhood.
This will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood. As the applicant
indicates, the property owner directly across the street is also has a front yard
setback of 30 feet. Additionally, there are only a few homes that directly front
Edgewater. The remainder front small side streets.
Deadline for AClencv Actions
The City of Arden Hills received the completed application for this request on November 6,
2001. Pursuant to Minnesota State Statute, the City must act on this request by January 5,
2001 (60 days), unless the City provides the petitioner with written reasons for an
additional 50-day review period. The City may with the petitioners consent, extend the
review period beyond 120 days.
Options
1.
2.
3.
Recommend approval as submitted.
Recommend approval with conditions.
Recommend denial with reasons for denial. If the City denies the petitioners
request, "...it must state in writing the reasons forthe denial at the time that it denies
the request."

PlanninCl Commission Recommendation
In Planning Case 01-31, that a front yard setback of 30 feet is proposed, where 40 feet is
required, the Planning Commission would recommends approval finding:
1. The circumstances for which the variance is requested are unique to the properly.
2. Granting the variance would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the City's Zoning
Code.
3. The properly in question cannot be put to a reasonable use without granting of a
variance.
4. The hardship was not created by the property owner.
5. Granting the variance will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood.

REQUEST FOR V ARlANCE
Request: Reduce front set back off Edgewater Road from 40' to 30'.
Reason #1: Desire to preserve 40" tree on south side oflot. Moving house
closer to Edgewater Road will accomplish this.
Reason #2: Desire to have the back yard bigger than the front yard. This
will make living at this location more enjoyable. Furthermore,
if south side of property is considered the "rear yard", moving
the house forward 10' will enable the 30' rear yard setback to
be met.
Character of neighborhood:
The house directly across Edgewater Road from this property is
set 30' back from the street. This is a relatively private
neighborhood with a vast array of house styles and house
locations on lots.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: December 6, 2001
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
City Administrator Joe Lynch
FROM: Aaron Parrish, City Planner

Council. The most recent ordinance evaluated by the Planning Commission is the City's Shore1and
Ordinance. After a review by the City Attorney and Planning Commission, only slight revisions
were made. These were housekeeping measures recommended by the City Attorney with regard to
the variance standard applied. On December 5, 2001, the Planning Commission held a Public
Hearing. No input was received at that time.
Planninl! Commission Recommendation
In Planning Case 01-16, the Planning Commission recommends approval of Shore land
Ordinance.
Requested Action
Consider introduction and first reading of Ordinance #334, an Ordinance adopting shoreland
management standards within the City of Arden Hills.

resources as follows:
e
DNR I.D. No.
A. General Development lakes:
Josephine 62-57
Johanna 62-78
Little Johanna 62-58

The shoreland management districts overlay existing zoning districts of the City also shown on the official
zoning map pursuant to this Code and the City of Arden Hills Zoning Ordinance. As indicated in this Section,
certain portions of the shorelands in the shoreland management districts are classified "general development
lakes," others "natural environment lakes." The map and all of the notations, references and other information
shown thereon shall have the same force and effect as if set forth in this Section at length.
Subd. 3. Boundaries of Shoreland Management Districts. The boundaries of the shoreland management
districts shall be determined by scaling distances on the official zoning map. Where interpretation is needed
as to the exact location of the boundaries of a shoreland management district shown on the official zoning
map, for example where there appears to be a conflict between a mapped boundary and actual field
conditions, the City Council shall make the necessary interpretation based upon topographic elevations and
other available technical data. Persons contesting the location of the shoreland management district
boundaries shall be given a reasonable opportunity to present their case to the City Council and to submit
technical evidence.
Subd. 4. Permitted Uses. All permitted uses allowed and regulated by the applicable zoning district
underlying the shoreland management districts as indicated on the official zoning map of the City shall be
permitted in a shoreland management district.
Subd. 5. Special Uses.
A. All special uses and applicable attached conditions allowed and regulated by the
applicable zoning district underlying shoreland management districts as indicated on the
official zoning map of the City shall be specially permitted uses therein.
e
B. Although boathouses are permitted in certain zoning districts, subject to certain
restrictions, the Commissioner of Natural Resources requires that they be treated as
special uses when they are located in shoreland management districts. Accordingly,
boathouses located in shoreland management districts shall be subject to the special use
permit procedures contained in this Code and in the City.
Subd. 6. Substandard Uses.
A. Continuation. Substandard uses or structures within the shoreland management districts which
were in existence prior to the enactment of this Chapter shall be allowed to continue. However,
any structural alteration, addition, or other modification which increases or extends the
substandard conditions shall not be allowed except as permitted by the variance procedure more
particularly described in this Chapter.
B. Expansion. The expansion, reconstruction, or restoration of a substandard structure shall not be
permitted if the cost of expansion, reconstruction, or restoration exceeds fifty (50) percent of the
fair market value of the existing structure to be modified.
Subd. 7. Nonconforming Uses. No nonconforming use within the shoreland management district shall be
expanded or reconstructed except as permitted by this Code or the City of Arden Hills Zoning Ordinance.
Subd. 8. Prohibited Uses. Any uses which shall not be permitted or special uses as regulated by the
applicable zoning district underlying the shoreland management districts as indicated on the official zoning
map of the City shall be prohibited in a shoreland management district.
Section 334.04 - District Provisions
e
Subd. 1. District Requirements. The following standards shall apply to all shorelands of the protected

Backl!ronnd
The code has been under consideration for recodification since approximately 1994. It
has systematically been researched, edited and amended over the years by numerous
attorneys at the League ofMillllesota Cities; the City Attorney; and American Legal

required, staff has not yet completed final incorporation of all applicable changes
recommended by Counci1member Rem and City Attorney Filla. We have included dated
footnotes on each page for reference as future changes are made.
Staff incorporated newly adopted ordinances and various standing policies as appendices
as appropriate.
Fee Resolution

resolution entitled, "A Resolution Establishing the Fee Schedule for _(year)." This
resolution is scheduled to come before the City Council for discussion, review and
adoption at their Worksession and Special Council Meeting on December 17, 2001.
Items of note as the City Council considers adoption are:
. Adoption ofthe Code requires three (3) affirmative votes;
. Suggested effective date is January I, 2002; and
. The Ordinance Summary requires a 4/5 vote.
e
Actions Requested
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the new Code of Ordinances to be effective
January I, 2002, with publication of an ordinance summary between December 10th and
January I st. Adoption of the Code of Ordinances should be contingent upon final review
by City Attorney Filla.

RE: Recodification
Our File No.: 10450/990003
Dear Joe:
I have reviewed Chapters 100 through 1160 of the proposed recodification. I offer the _
following general comments: .,
1. Section 110.02. This section contains definitions for the code. There are other
sections which also contain definitions (330.02, Subd. 1, 330.03, Subd. 2,
340.02,350.02,360.03,500.01,620.04, Subd. 2, 81O.Gl, Subd. 4, and
1100.04). Some city codes incorporate all definitions into one section.
2. Section 110.01. Where there are conflicts between various sections, the more
restrictive provision usually applies. This type of wording can be added in this
section.
3. Section 210.03. Subd. 1. This section is overly restrictive. The Council should
retain the right to have regular council meetings on any day that the Council
deems appropriate as long as the notice requirements are satisfied.
4. Section 210.03, Subd. 3. This section includes reference to a specific statute.
Generally, I do not recommend specific references where they can be avoided
because statutes change and codes become outdated without the City being
specifically aware. In this particular case, M.S. 9471.705 has already been
amended.
e
. September 27,2001
Page 2
5. Sections 220.02, Subd. 2. 3, and 4. These sections reference the City
Economic Development Authority and should be set out in the same manner as
the regulations for the Planning Commission. (See Section 220.03). The last
sentence of Section 220.02, Subd. 3 is incorrect and should be eliminated.
Economic Development Authority Members are appointed by the City Council.
Section 220.02, Subd. 4 is not necessary.
6. Section 220.03. Parts of these provisions indicate the Planning Commission
is making final decisions (Section 220.03, Subd. 60), and parts indicate that
the Planning Commission is making recommendations (Section 220.03, Subd.
10). Sections 220.03, Subd. 6C andSubd. 10seem redundant.
7. Section 330.03. I originally thought that these provisions would be covered by
the City "Adult Use" provisions. Upon further review, I don't think that is the
case. The City still needs regulations for massage and sauna parlors.
8.
Section 1100.05. If the zoning regulations are included in an appendix to the
codified regulations, a specific reference can be indicated in this particular
section.
.
9. Section 1110.03. Subd. 1. I am not sure if the procedure outlined in this
section is actually followed by the City. I think preliminary plats automatically
are referred to the Planning Commission for hearings.

Dear Joe:
We have reviewed Rochon Corporation'sApplication and Certificate for payme,f;;) the Arden Hills City
Hall Project. We have visited the site and find that the percentages lor work completed is correct except for
the lollowing revisions. Item number 7. Previous certificates for payment was revised to $2,753.350.03 to reflect
the actual payment made. See letter to Rochon Corporation dated November 14. 2001 that outlines the
difference. Under section 09300 Ceramic Tile/Quarry Tile we have withheld $5000.00 for the open issue with
the terrazzo floor. This payment application does not include Change Order Number Six, as it has not yet been
approved. Changes to the application and certiiicate for payment reflect these items, This pay application
covers the period ending October 31.2001. The percentage of the contract amount applied lor is 97.73%
(minus a 5% retainage (revised) of $150,589.37). We recommend payment in the amount
have enclosed a spreadsheet that summarizes payments to date for your reference as well as a breakdown 01
this application by section. Please call me if you have any questions,
Sincerely.

Dear Joe:
The revision to Pay Application No. 12 (see letter dated November 16. 2001) reduced the contractor's tee by
$155.44. and subsequently the payment amount by $]46.72. Due to this change a revision to Pay Application
Numbers 13 and 14 will also be necessary as the amount of the previous application will affect the current
payment due. See attached spreadsheets that outline the changes. Items highlighted in red were previously
revised. Items highlighted in blue are the changes due to this $155.44 Contractor's Fee item previously revised
in Pay Application No. 12.
We recommend payment lor Pay Application Number 13 in the amoU"~10.63 a~;:;Jy 'pp'irntion
