This year's Day In thc Park will start with a parade at 1 :00 p.m. and end with fireworks at 10:00 p.m. She indicated if Council did not want to designatc money toward this year's event, we can go to the community and ask for money. Post noted last ycar we raiscd $33,000 from community sponsors. Mayor Probst indicated his confidencc the money needed for this day can be raised by donations and thc Council would be willing to fill in where money is short. Lynch reminded all that wc currcntly have an operating surplus of$200,000 that still has not be been designated for cxpcnditure.

ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORKSESSION MINUTES MARCH 18,2002 DRAFT 2 Mayor Probst again rcaffirmed his confidence the money could be raised and what wasn't raised would bc funded by the City. Communitv Development Planning/Zoning - TCAAP Developer Discussion - Probst recapped which devclopers to date have made a prcscntation to Council for TCAAP rcdcvclopment. He also indicated he has rcceived calls from W cis Builders and Ryan Companics but both companies havc since changed their rninds. Council agreed their next rcgular scssion on April 8, 2002, would be the last time companies can prcsent their redevelopment plans to Council for possible partnering. Council agreed they would make a decision by the end of April as to which developer thcy would partncr with for TCAAP redevelopmcnt with the undcrstanding with the dcvclopcr that thcy would not have sole right to dcvclop every acre of land. Hc indicated if a developer was chosen and turned out to not meet thc nceds ofthc City, a diffcrcnt developer can be sought. Lynch reminded Council ofthc list they devclopcd of the preferred outcomes of the TCAAP property and wondered if thcy would want to review this list again and confirm these were truly the desircd outcomes. Council could then use this list when choosing a dcveloper. Lynch will distribute this list to Council for their rcview. Parrish will ask potential developers for past cxamplcs ofredcvelopmcnt projects and also contact communities who have had public hcarings on developrnental projccts. Rem voiced her concern that the TCAAP propcrty would truly be released. Probst indicated his confidence is so strong bccause similar propertics are being released arOlmd the country alrcady which is setting the preccdent. He also has confidence in the dcvclopers becausc two developers have already put real money on the tablc. Parrish noted he bclicved some type of a public hcaring where the residents could provide some kind of input was a good idea. He indicated whcn Apache was remodclcd the residents were brought together for thcir input and we could do something similar. Parrish was requested to contact other citics that have been in similar situations and. Operations & Maintenance Department Comp Parks, Trails, & Open Space Plan and CIP Recommendation - Gregg Ingraham of IngrahaIll and Associatcs highlighted the currcnt version of the Park Comp Plan and indicated thc PTRC is asking for input from the Council for final approval and direction. The Park Comp Plan listed a $6.5 million figurc for fix up, fit up, and cxpansion of parks and trail. Mayor Probst asked the committee how that figured was arrivcd. Crasswellcr . . . ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORKSESSION MINUTES MARCH 18,2002 DRAfT 3 indicated that figure is based on the recommendations listcd in the plan. Olson indicated there was not a prioritized list bccausc the group did not want to focus solely on thc dollar amount. Probst asked what percentagc of the moncy was for trails north and south of 96. Ingraham indicated is very close to a 50/50 split. Post noted the City has a very "rock solid" commitment from CSM Corporation and the committee should be aware of possible funding from their corporation. Mayor requestcd a 5 year plan be developed which lists thc items the group thought were priorities. Crassweller asked for some type of funding paraIlleters thcy could use when developing this 5-ycar plan. Probst said he bclieves he cannot give dollar figurcs until the new Public Works Facility funding has bcen settled. COUNCIL COMMENTS No comments were made.

Mr. Murnane closed commenting that this collection of partners is prepared to step forward and work with the City of Arden Hills rcgarding the acquisition and development ofTCAAP. Mayor Probst requcstcd comments on how or what role "big-box" development would have in TCAAP. Mr. Murnane respondcd that there were many alternatives to major retail development. Mayor Probst inquired what will be the trigger mechanism for initiating development on a . property; would it be retail, commercial or residcntial. Mr. Murnane responded retail would have to be a part of the cnginc that drovc dcvclopmcnt ticd directly to rcsidential. Mr. Newman responded that open space and park development need to be woven into the initial the devclopment so that people had an opportunity to recreatc and enjoy open spacc. Mayor Probst inquircd about the residential development and indicated it appearcd to be high- cnd housing, and requested information on how the group planned to address life-cycle housing nceds within the City. Mr. Murnane indicated that the partners that had been chosen can provide many different types of residential development and they would work with the City to meet those needs and the desires of the Mctropolitan Council. Council Member Aplikowski refcrred back to the altcrnativc storm watcr managcmcnt plan that Mr. Applebaum talked about, and inquired how this would function in a retail area. . Mr. Applebaum responded that the storm water is dealt with mainly through infiltration, but whcre they are unable to obtain thc ncccssary volumes, areas drained to rcplacc and thc watcr would drain off. 50-60% less run-off occurs because ofthis infiltration.

Grant also asked for an explanation regarding the narrowmg of roads and the lack of infrastructure for Stormwatcr system. Mr. Applebaunl rcsponded that the storm watcr ponding and piping systcm is not neccssarily applicable evcrywhere. Thcy try to deal with Stormwatcr as a resource and not as a waste product, and in some locations they havc bccn able to construct curbing that assists in protecting the road-bed. Council Member Grant asked if at thc Arbor Lakes project, which projects came first - the large scale retail format or the smaller retails bchind. The group responded that this was fairly typical, but at Arbor Lakes, they had previously dcsigned the smaller scalc rctail as a part of the largc scale format. City Council Member Larson askcd if large scale retail use is not part of the development of TCAPP, is OPUS still interested in this project. Mr. Murnane said they would still look at the TCAAP project, and bring in thcir main dcvclopment type, which is officc and commercial developmcnt. He also said thcy would not "kid thcmselves" as to what the City wanted. Council Member Larson asked, if the developmcnt IS primarily rcsidential, IS succcss still possible. Mr. Ncwman rcsponded by saying he believed that redevelopment can be supportcd primmily by residential developmcnt. Council Membcr Rcm asked about the time frame and what is rcalistic.

Council Membcr Larson asked how they would get around a landlord that wants to release thc property with a clean-up Icvcl only to industrial standards. The group responded that therc are funds available [at the Congressional level] to assist in cleaning up a site to a higher standard, and they could look to Senator Dayton for assistance. Mr. Rockenstcin pointed out that there is a gap in land value; the Amry cannot market thc propcrty as commcrcial/residential standards, which would ultimately impact the valued that is detcrmincd for the property. . . . :.~""',O ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES APRIL 8, 2002 "~I ,.0,', 4 Mayor Probst indicated that they would Iikc to find someone to partner with the City, and use the dcvcloper's moncy for investigation and planning.

Mr. Post explained that while an operating surplus could be us cd for any legal purpose, prior Council actions for the disposition of surpluscs wcre to usc thcm for onc-time cxpcnditurcs, not for operating needs. For the year ended Dccember 31, 2000, the Council approved a $150,000 transfer to Municipal Land Building's Capital Fund No. 408. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES APRIL 8, 2002 .~ ,... 6 . Mr. Post reviewed the gcncral fund balances and presented the following options for Council consideration: 1. Municipal Land & Building Fund No. 408. 2. TCAAP PlaIilling Fund No. 229. 3. Park Fund No. 227. 4. City Hall Facility - Backup Emergency Power Gencrator 5. City Hall Electronic Rccord Retention System Mr. Post stated these options are not intended to be inclusivc and asked the Council to provide dirccti on. Councilrnember Larson asked for an approximate dollar amount for the Record Retention Systcm. Mr. Post replicd the cxpcnditures would be for software, hardware, and manual input for scanning the records. He stated he did not have a specific cost analysis, but it could be $25,000 - $50,000.00 given thc number of records thcy needed to get on the electronic database. Councilmembcr Larson asked if they wcrc still in thc rcsidcntial inspcction busincss. Mr. Post replied thcy were. . Mayor Probst stated he was interested in looking at thc first two alternatives. Mr. Post statcd Fund No. 229 had approximately a $220,000.00 fund balance at present, and Fund NoA08 was essentially empty, but would be replenished by 2001 taxes payable in 2002 in an amount of$183,750.00. Councilmember Rem stated givcn the sizc ofbalancc, shc requestcd somc money be sct aside for the Record Rctention System. Shc stated an emergency portable generator was also an issue they needed to look at. Mr. Post replied a portable gcnerator would cost approximately $32,300.00. Councilmcmbcr Rem asked if the generator should be on a list of priorities. Mr. Post replied from an emergency standpoint there were options availablc to rent the generators from other suppliers. However, thc gencrators could be in short supply if thcre was a largc arca-widc powcr outage. . Councilmember Grant askcd how many gcncrators thcy currcntly had. Mr. Moore replied they currently had two. He stated of the two they had, the large generator could plug into City Hall, but the small onc could not. He stated currently the emergency plan was that the generators would run the sewer lift stations and water boostcr station. He indicated they would be able to bring one of the gcncrators over to City Hall in the event of all emergency for a short period of time (anything under 3 days), but if the powcr outage lasted longer than three days, they would need another generator. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES APRIL 8, 2002 'f~ i 7 . Mayor Probst stated they should still look at the gencrator issue, and hc would support them getting software for the Record Rctcntion Systcm, but they should wait on the rest of the requcsts at this time. MOTION: Councilmember Aplikowski moved and Councilmember Larson secondcd a motion to authorize staff to purchase a mobile generator for City Hall use in an amount not to exceed $35,000.00. Councilmembcr Grant asked ifthc rcmainder of the balancc would go into Fund No. 408. Councilmember Larson askcd if they purchased a new gencrator, whcrc would thcy put it. Mr. Post replied the generator would bc a portable gcncrator, and not a permanent one as was previously discuss cd. He asked if Councilmcmber Aplikowski's motion also included a trailcr for thc generator. Mayor Probst asked if they had a place to storc thc gcncrator. Mr. Moore replied it would be storcd in the existing maintenance building. Mr. Post rcplied thc estimatc thcy rcccived also included the trailer. He stated the pricc last was $32,302.00. Hc stated $35,000.00 would be in thc ballpark to purchasc thc gcnerator and trailer. . Councilmember Larson askcd if it was morc efficient to purchase the equipment, or should they share resources with another City considering the generator would be sitting most of the time unused. Mr. Post replied they could rcnt a generator. Hc stated thcre was a maintenance component to a generator in that they had to use it on a rcgular basis. Councilmcmbcr Larson asked if they had checked with other citics to havc acccss to a gcncrator. Mayor Probst statcd this was an idea worth pursuing. Mayor Probst stated he agrecd with thc spirit of Aplikowski's motion, but suggested they put all of the money into Fund No. 408 with the understanding that oncc thcy had considcrcd all of thc options for the gencrator, the money for the generator would still be available. Councilmembcr Aplikowski withdrew hcr motion for furthcr information. Councilmember Larson withdrew his sccond. Mayor Probst directed staff to research thc possibility of sharing a generator with another City. Mr. Lynch stated thc City docs belong to a consortium of cities that provides mutual aid in cmergency situations. However, nobody had a 200w gcncrator, and if thcy did, it was not a mobilc generator. He also statcd even if they could locate a gencrator, it might not be available at the time it was needed. . Councilmembcr Larson expressed concern about not going forward with thc Record Retcntion System. He stated if thcy did not go forward, it would keep getting pushed on the back burner. . . . ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES APRIL 8, 2002 '-Tf' it 8 Councilrncmber Aplikowski asked what typc of equipmcnt was nccdcd for thc Rccord Rctcntion System. Mr. Pamsh replied they needed to digitize the plans. He stated it was State law that the building plans be saved indcfinitcly. He indicated they wcre currcntly off-site and it was difficult to locatc them when they were necdcd. He stated to digitize the plans would cost approximately $8,000.00. Hc indicated if they went with a onc-station concept, which could rangc from $5,000.00 to $10,000.00 and to scan large format documents, they would need a large format document scanner, which was $7,000.00. He stated if they purchased this equipment, they would not need to purchase the service of scanning because it could bc donc in housc; thcy would just need to find someonc to do it. He stated there would be a hierarchy of needs, but digitizing the plans would be a top priority. Councilmember Grant stated they needed to ability to use the software and purchasing thc software without the rcmaindcr of the equipment, was not a good value. He asked how much was needcd to get this process started. Mr. Pamsh rcplicd they had some of the hardware already, but a largc format scanncr would be a necessity. On a minimal level, it would bc approximately $20,000.00, but this would not includc data input. Mr. Parrish statcd this was something they had been looking at later this summer and it be part of an overall technology plan for the City. MOTION: I Councilmember Larson moved and Councilmember Grand seconded a motion to approvc moving $130,000.00 of the operating surplus into Fund No. 408, "Land and Buildings Fund", and Icave the remaining $35,000.00 in thc Gcncral Fund for purchase of a generator. The motion camed unanimously (5-0). B. Continued Discussion Regarding Staff Reorganization Plan Councilmember Larson stated since the time the original organization chart had bcen prepared, the chart had already changed. Hc requested discussion of this issuc to sec where the Council was, and if they could not come to a conclusion tonight, then they necdcd to inform staff to move forward with a proposal that the maj ority of the Council wanted to sec adopted. Mr. Lynch presented the "Impact of Reorganization on Budgeted Salaries 2001 and 2002", and "City Reorganization Chart" bench handouts. Mr. Lynch stated there were still two positions that needed to be fillcd. The other positions had been filled. He notcd the reason for the minor changes was to bring forward a change to the City that allowed the City Administrator and staff to function in areas that seemed to make sense in terms of thc service they werc providing to the general public, and also to bring forth a change that would have the Icast impact in terms of numbers and dollars. Councilmember Aplikowski cxpresscd concern about thc dollar amount. Shc statcd she had a problem that the two positions were not equal in terms of pay and responsibility, and stated the two new positions should bc morc equal. She expressed frustration that shc was still looking for the absolute need for a second person at $60,000.00. She was hoping to be able to explore it with City Administrator bcfore it was brought back to a public meeting. She stated her main conccrn was that those two positions were not equal in terms of pay. She indicated this was a rnoney . . . ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES APRIL 8, 2002 ~.. (, y" 'f. II 9 issue. Mr. Lynch replied the cost for thc Director of Administration was an estimated amount, and it did not mcan they would bring someonc in at that amount. He stated they did not have to bring somcone in for $60,000.00. He stated they were waiting for a study to compare to what thc market was with respect to salaries. Hc indicated they could always adjust the salary at some time to make them more equal. Councilmembcr Aplikowski stated this was an issue regarding money and job responsibility between these two positions. Mr. Lynch pointed out that the education, experience and skills for both of these two positions were thc same. Councilmember Aplikowski stated the bottom line was that they had 23 people on staff with nine in thc Operations and Maintenance category. Shc stated alrnost hal f of thcm reported to one person and the rest reported to another person. She asked how the City functioned now; how often they met with staff, etc. Mr. Lynch replied currently they met on Tuesdays with Mr. Moore, Mr. Post, Mr. Scherbel, Mr. Parrish, and occasionally thc Rccrcation Program Supervisor one-officc support personnel, and the Deputy Clerk. He stated they also had a management rnecting on thc Tuesday following thc Council work session including himself, Mr. Post, Mr. Moore, and the Dcputy Clerk. Councilmcmber Aplikowski askcd if that would continue with the new structure. Mr. Lynch replied he would continue to meet with thc Dircctors on thc Tuesdays after the Work session and he did not see any change to the meetings they had after the Council Meetings. He stated this was a good time for each person to discuss general City issues among other members of the staff instead of just dealing with their own departmcnt. Hc statcd thc biggcst changc would bc in thc functional arca. Councilmember Grant indicated neither of the two organization charts focused on Councilmember Aplikowski's conccrns. He stated he was fine with a Director of Maintenance and Operations; however, on the Dircctors of Administration sidc as a goal to reducc thc number of staff that reported to the City Administrator, he was not sure he supported that. He stated he undcrstood the City Administrator wanted to have people in place when TCAAP was ready, but he indicated this could takc possibly two ycars, so thc hiring of a pcrson for that position was premature. He indicated this was one of his initial concerns, and that was why he did not votc in favor of it when it was originally presented last year. He stated he would support the creation of that position if TCAAP was going to bc a reality in the ncar future, and while he would like to see that, realistically that was not going to happen anytimc soon. Mayor Probst stated on one level he thought there seemed to bc a lumping togethcr thc communications and supervision needs, and they were different. He stated that given the size of the staff, it did not seem to him to be rcasonable to have 8 director reports out of 22 people, and because of TCAAP this was exactly the reason they needed to proceed on this. He stated in the course of the last scven working days, hc had spent 12 hours in meetings on TCAAP. He stated this would requirc a lot of time in the near futurc, and he expected that at some of the high level mcetings, the City Administrator would be the City representativc. He indicatcd this made sense to him at this time. He noted thcy werc on the verge of a lot of things starting to happen, and unless Council was going to havc someone else take a lead TOlc, there was going to be a hugc . . . ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES APRIL 8, 2002 ~ Lll ";:,j/Ili ~ 10 time commitment for thc City Adrninistrator. He stated hc strongly believed it made sense to go down this path at this time and hc would continue to support this. Councilmember Rem stated shc had spoken with the City Administrator last wcck, and from her perspective, shc did not see why the Director of Adrninistration was needed at this time. Shc indicated she was not convinced that they nccdcd that position. She stated she would support the position of Director of Maintenancc and Operations. Shc statcd that they had discussed about getting consultants doing somc of the TCAAP work, and while it would takc somc organization, it was not expccted that staff would take all of the responsibility. She stated she did not see there was a need to hire somcone. Councilmembcr Larson stated he was in favor of going forward with the Plan. Hc indicated it was his belief that TCAAP was taking off and the planning work was bcginning. He stated this planning would involvc a whole range of activities. He pointed out that Guidant was also coming up. He stated there was a wholc range of things the City had put on the back burncr because they did not have the capabilities and expertise. He statcd thc largc part of the Director of Administration position was working on TCAAP and economic development and not just administrative supervision. He statcd there were all kinds of things that staff could not do because they did not have sufficient people. Hc statcd somconc was going to devotc a lot of time to TCAAP at somc point in the future. He indicatcd this made scnse to bring on an additional person at this time. Councilmcmber Aplikowski stated shc might agrce to hirc a Director of Administration if shc believed more wholly that TCAAP was going to happen in the next 6 ~ 10 months, but she did not have that feeling, and again she stated they hired the Administrator to run the City and she would rather sce him do that. Shc statcd she would bc much happicr if thc City Administrator stayed as is, and they hired a specialist when they necded one. Shc statcd shc was not convinced they needed somcone at this time. She stated she wanted the City Administrator to run the City. Mayor Probst indicated he understood Councilmcmber Aplikowski's view, and he too wanted the City Administrator to run the City and he believed Mr. Lynch was doing a very good job of doing that. However, he indicated, after having participated in all of the meetings in the last two wccks, he was convinced they werc on the brink of making TCAAP happcn. He stated there would be huge implications with this in terms of contracts and monitoring everything. He stated thc City's senior executivc should be the person to take care of this. He indicated he did not want a "hired gun" to represent thc City's interest. He belicvcd thc City Administrator should be the represcntativc for the City. He indicated the City Administrator would be directly responsible to the Council. He stated it was not possible that the Council members cover everything. Mayor Probst statcd there were mechanisms in place now that might move things along very quickly. Hc stated therc would be countless hours involved in planning meetings and attending meetings. Hc stated the rest of Arden Hills would not be abandoncdjust to move TCAAP along, but his personal experiencc was that this was going to take an incredible amount of time, and reducing the City Administrator's supervisory responsibilities would allow him to dedicate more timc to the issues coming up. . ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES APRIL 8, 2002 ~ , t~ 11 Councilmcmber Aplikowski stated she did understand how much time this was going to take. She asked, however, if they should hire someone who was just rcsponsiblc for TCAAP. She suggested they not make any decision tonight and to put this issue on the next City Council's agenda to give her thc opportunity to have her discussion with the City Administrator. Councilmembcr Grant stated, relative to TCAAP, they did not know if this was going to bc a "long tunnel" or a "short tunnel" at this point. Hc stated they did not know if this was the right time to hirc someone. Councilmcmber Aplikowski stated if she could be assured that there was a rnore equitable division of rcsponsibility and compensation she might change hcr mind. ADMINISTRATOR COMMENTS Mr. Lynch statcd they were investigating the cost of blinds for the City Hall. He statcd whcn that was put togethcr; hc would bring it back to the City Council for revicw. Mr. Lynch statcd Nestle Purina Pet Carc had sent the City a letter indicating they were closing thcir Arden Hills facility, effective July, 2002. This dccision will affect all 24 employecs at the facility. . COUNCIL COMMENTS . Councilmcmber Grant stated the Maintcnance Facility Task Force had met and they had a pretty good idea of the facility size and what thcy would bc willing to sharc with thc County. He stated the future focus would be looking at financing options and a dcsign/build sccnario and how the City could take part in that. He stated as he received more information he would prcsent it to Council. Councilmember Larson asked if they were going to do anything with the signagc prior to thc Open House. He suggestcd thcy get rid of the temporary sign for this event. Councilmember Larson requested staff prcparc a mcmorandum that grouped the major TCAAP proposals and their respcctive team mernbers. Councilmembcr Larson stated he had sent a Rcsolution regarding Charlie Pcck, who was a long serving mail delivery man in the City and who passed away last week. He indicated it would bc nice to memorialize his service to thc City as well as send a copy to his family and co-workers. Councilmcmber Larson statcd thcy had a recent Parks, Trails & Rccrcation meeting, and had requestcd them to prioritize the capital improvcmcnts. Councilmembcr Aplikowski stated the events committcc was mccting this wcck and she thanked Pam Swecney and Michclle Olson for all of their hard work. She stated the "Day in the Park" plarming was coming along. She requested stafflook into thc possibility of placing some type of backing on the Council nameplates so they can be rcad bettcr. . . .

She asked for research on looking at other formats for thc Performance Review process. She statcd she would be willing to get some information together for a rcview proccss with the City Administrator's assistance. Mayor Probst updated Council on various correspondence received since thc last Council meeting. Mayor Probst stated, as a Council, they had ncvcr attempted to offer advice to thc School Board, but asked if the other Council members had opinions rcgarding some of the proposcd cuts as offered by the School Board. He stated hc was not surc he wanted to support this proposal. Councilmembcr Rem suggested having a joint meeting with the School Board to discuss these types of issues. She stated it would makc sense to have some form of communication with them. Mayor Probst suggested to they meet with the School Board at the next Council Meeting at 6:00 or 6: 15 p.m. Councilmember Aplikowski suggested they draft a Ictter to the Superintendent expressing the Council's nonsupport ofthe busing proposal due to safcty issucs. Councilmember Grant stated the City did not have sidewalks, which would force children into the streets, which were not safe. He pointed out thcy had many busy County Roads, that placed the City at a disadvantage. Hc also pointed out that there werc many open areas in the City and this was a safcty issue as well because some of those open areas wcre remote. Hc agreed they should take a strong position regarding this issue and send a lettcr to the School Board, as well as have a joint meeting. Councilmember Larson stated he was agreeablc to mecting with them, but he did not believe they would be responsive. Mayor Probst updated COlmcil on TCAAP meetings he had attcnded. He stated there was clearly a perception about not inviting the public into talk to Council about thc arscnal. He suggested the Design Center at the University of Minnesota get involvcd and conduct public mcctings so they had more than just a developer team's vicws. He stated they may also need to engagc a firm that would help the City with the lobbying cfforts as wcll as the political process, and asked if Council would be willing to havc staff explore these possibilities, as well as the cost regarding both of thesc proposals. Councilmember Grant agreed they needed to take input from the public. He statcd this would be the appropriatc time to start this process. Councilmembcr Aplikowski rcqucsted they contain the public mccting part to the surrounding cities only, but to certainly invite the local business community. She statcd transportation was going to be one of the issues and she asked ifthcy wanted to invite MnDOT also. . . . ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES APRIL 8, 2002 ---,."",......-' 13 Councilmember Larson stated both ideas were good, but they might bc bcttcr idcas after they have a clcarer sense as to what thc consultants could offer. Councilmember Grant stated there were a lot of ncw rcsidcnts since the 1996 V cnto Plan was created and this could be an cducational process for the public by prcsenting the Vento Plan and taking input. Mayor Probst suggested talking with the Design Center to find out what type of cost thcy werc talking about, but to realize thcy wcre not ready to make any decisions at this time.

Planning Case 01-28: Catholic Aid Association Sign Standard Adjustment City Planner Parrish explained the applicant was requesting a sign standard adjustment from the sign code to construct a 20-foot high sign where 16 feet was required. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the adjustment based on certain fmdings and conditions. MOTION: Councilmember Grant moved and Councilmembcr Rem seconded a motion to authorize Planning Case 01-28, Catholic Aid Association Sign Standard Adjustment to construct a 20-foot high sign where a maximum of 16 feet is allowed. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). B. Planning Case 02-01: 4410 North Snelling, Minor Subdivision Mr. Parrish explained the applicant was requesting a minor subdivision to divide an existing 1.6-acre lot into two lots. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the minor subdivision request subject to certain conditions. Councilmember Aplikowski stated she could understand the feeling about not paying the full park dedication fee, but she believed there should bc some money paid. However, she did not know how they wanted to get the fee requirement modified. Councilmember Larson stated the Code was pretty straightforward, and he did not see why they would proceed in a different manner for this minor subdivision. He stated he understood this was a transfer of property from the property owner to a relative, but the intent of the park dedication fee was to recognize this fee would recover somc dollat amount from that property, which would bencfit the new residents of Arden Hills. He stated he did not believe this subdivision should be treated differently, and if this was approved, he expressed concern this would create a future precedence. He stated there should be an appraisal of the property to fmd out what the current market value of the property was. Dorothy McClung, 4370 North Snelling Avenue, pointed out the parcels were originally joined, but the owner now wanted to divide the property. She believed this was different than what was adopted when the Ordinance was adopted. She indicated the only market value was what the County had appraised this at. She stated it did not make sense to incur the cost of an appraisal when they were gifting the land. They were willing to pay what Mr. Parrish recommended identified as option 2. Councilmember Aplikowski asked if there was ever a park dedication fcc paid on this property. Ms. McClung replied there had been no park dedication fee paid. . . . ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES APRIL 29, 2002 On t;\ 7"T I L'6\~#.;,r . 4 Councilmember Larson asked what the difference would be between the County's assessed value and an independent appraisal. Ms. McClung replied the homes in that neighborhood prices had varied and she did not know what the real value of the property would be. Councilmember Larson askcd if thc value would come in higher than the County's assessed valuc. Ms. McClung replied that was a reasonable expectation. Councilmember Grant asked for a brief history of Chapter 11 of the City Code and how it had been applied in the past. Mr. Parrish replied he did not have the historical perspective as to that Chapter. He stated there were many different factors, but in terms of practice, when land was subdivided, that was when the park dedication fees were paid. Mayor Probst concurrcd with Councilmember Larson that unlcss Council identified a reason for not applying the standard, they should be looking to applying the criteria evenly under the City Code. Mr. Parrish stated the range for park dedication fees was 6 percent to ten perccnt. This property was at the low cnd of the range, for park dedication. Councilmember Aplikowski stated she was struggling with the fact that there was no sale of this property and because of this factor; it differentiated itself from the usual proccdurc. MOTION: Councilmember Aplikowski moved and Councilmember Rem seconded a motion to authorize Planning Case 02-03, 4410 North Snelling, Minor Subdivision with a $2,470.00 Park Dedication Fee, subject to the fmdings and conditions conflrmed in the staff report. Mayor Probst stated he would support the motion, but he did not agree with the justification. He stated he believcd this would be a bad ptecedcnt to set. Mayor Probst offered the following friendly amendment: The reason for making qualifications from deviating from the standard was because the lot was a constituted lot and was a previously existing lot. Councilmembcr Aplikowski and Councilmember Rem accepted Mayor Probst's friendly amendment. Councilinember Larson stated he would not support this motion. Councilmember Grant clarified the amendmcnt still left the sum of $2,470.00 for the Park Dedication Fee. Mayor Probst replied that was correct. Motion carried as amended (4-1 Larson). C. Planning Case 02-05: Guidant, Site Plan Review/Variance Request Mr. Parrish explained applicant was requesting a site plan review, setback val-iance, and height variance to facilitate an 110,900 square foot expansion of Guidant Building F (former Control Data ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES APRIL 29, 2002 ~,...", f' r""" t > ',~:,j I' -\ if-- Ll ~'i.i'<A //~;<t~ ~ 5 . facility). The proposed plan also incorporated a skyway to existing Building E. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the site plan subject to certain conditions. Mayor Probst stated it seemed inappropriate to proceed with a plat that vacated a street until the traffic analysis was completed and they knew what the inlplications were going to bc. He stated Council needed to proceed carefully so that thcy did not approve more than they should. He asked if the skyway was part of this request. If it was, and thcy were not in a position to vacate the road, it would need to be built with the proper clearances. Mr. Parrish replied the intent was to proceed in a manner that was indcpcndent of other actions. He stated Guidant could just plat the building. Hc indicated this could proceed as a stand-alone, independent project. With respect to the skyway, he stated what they attempted to do was if it was vacated, this would bc a non-issue, but if it was not vacated, there would nced to be an easement issued over F ernwood A venuc. Mayor Probst stated the two issues subject to review were the setback and the height, which was open to some interpretation. Mr. Parrish replied with respect to the height issue, it was consistent with the building. Councilrnember Grant stated this was clearly part of the larger plan for Guidant and he indicated he was supportive of the overall project, as well as this proposal. . Councilrnember Larson asked why staff did not put in the conditions that were attached to the recommendation regarding the building materials being brick masonry. Mr. Parrish replied that was what had bcen submitted and it would be in keeping with the site plan and therefore, it was not necessary to put this as a recommendation. Hc stated it was required that the developmcnt be in conformance with the site plan that had been submitted. Judd Brasch and John Larson, RSP Architects, stated thcy had submitted some elevations for the building, and it was their intent to select materials that would be compatible to the existing buildings on the campus. Councilrnember Grant asked if they were okay with the eight planning commission conditions. Mr. Larson and Mr. Brasch replied they agreed to the conditions. Bill Frankc, 1228 Wynridge Drive, stated in general he agreed with this development, but he was concerned that there was no evidence to support the level of development associated with the forthcoming Planned Unit Dcvelopment proposed was justified. He stated he was not opposed to this specific development, but he was opposed to the process thus far. . Jim Paulet, 1285 Wyncrest Court, stated he believed Guidant has been a good neighbor and they wcre providing jobs to the community, but the neighbors had concerns regarding some aspccts of the development plan. He stated they were concerned about the size of the buildings and the ramps, as well as the scope of the projcct. He expressed concern about thc traffic issues. He stated they also had drainage concerns. He stated he believed they should slow down some and the neighbors should be involved with some of the planning. He stated it seemed that all the residents doing were . . .

He stated the residents were conccrned that thcy were going to also lose the tennis courts at Cummings Park for parking spaces. Pat Krerr, 1230 Wyncrest Court, expressed concern about the variance of 23 feet and that they should have the building at 55 feet as required by Code. He statcd it appeared Guidant was making the assumption that the road would be vacated. He stared Guidant was a good neighbor. Brad Kessler, 1251 Wyncrest Court, asked if the City had looked if the new road would be compatible to Fernwood being lost. Mayor Probst stated the City had made a commitment either directly or indirectly with regard ro what their anticipated plans were and they would give the residents the opportunity to comment about the plans. He stated this was not an approval of the vacation of Fcrnwood at this time. He stated he believed thc Training Center could be built on that site. He indicated he was comfortable with the approval of the Training Center site plan and the variances as approved, but stated Guidant still has work to do with the street vacation. Councilmember Larson stated the residents had concerns about the hcight of the buildings, but he believed this building was fairly consistent with the othcr building, and he believed this building was as far away from the neighborhood as possible. He stated he would support this proposal. Councilmember Aplikowski stated one of the concerns she was hearing was how would this impact Cummings Park. Mr. Parrish stated this was a misconception that was out there at this point, but he assured this was in no way relatcd to Cummings Park. Going forward it would alter access if thc street vacation proceeded forward, but in terms of parking, that issue had been earlier resolvcd by the Parks Department. He stated there was a solid easement in terms of parking, so it was unlikely the tennis courts would be eliminated. There was sufficient parking available under this cascment. MOTION: Councilmember Aplikowski moved and Councilmcmber Grant seconded a motion to authorize Planning Case 02-05, Guidant, Site Plan Review/Variance Request subject to fmdings and conditions confirmed within the staff memo. Councilmember Rem asked for clarification on the platting process. Mr. Parrish replied Guidant was in the process of preparing their Master PUD. Prior to that, thcy were looking to consolidate all of their parcels into onc parceL Mr. Parrish srated this information was also available on the City's web site. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). D. Planning Case 02-06: Pilgrim House, Special Use Permit Mr. Parrish explained applicant was requesting an amendment to their cxisting Special Use Permit to allow a daycarc facility at Pilgrim House. The Planning Commission recommended denial of the requesting fmding the proposed use of the Church was an accessory operation that would be ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES APRIL 29, 2002 7 Ij :4 7 . allowed if the Church was running the daycare, but not when a commercial daycarc facility was being opcrated. Councihnember Aplikowski stared she was relieved staff had located in the City Code how daycare facilities would be addressed in Houses of Worship. Albina Lima, 748 Valentine, Spring Lake Park, stated he had been a member of the Church for 20 years and indicated that 75 percent of Minnesota mothers work and all of them at one time or another is dependant upon daycare. He stated there werc two types of daycare, the large daycare facilities and the in-home facilities. He stated there was a gap in daycare facilities and he believed this proposal would fill that gap as well as fulfilling a community service. He stated this facility would be learning oriented and he believed Pilgrim House could provide a community service by offering this type of a facility. He stated they would work \vith the neighbors to see if the minimum licensing requirements were enough, or if they would need to have more than the minimum in terms of fencing and sound barriers. He stated the neighbors had been concerned about the noise, and they were willing to work with the neighbors regarding noise. He stated the children would be supervised at all times. . Mayor Probst asked if Pilgrim Housc would agree to an extension if necessary bccausc thc Planning Commission did not have sufficient information whcn they made their recommendations. He stated it would bc his preference this return to the Planning Commission for further cliscussion and consideration. Mr. Parrish replied the Planning Commission vote was close and there may be further issues they would want to look at. Councihnember Larson noted that the Julie Carlson letter stated while she wanted to eventually have 20 children, shc believed the limit would be 12 children due to space issues. He suggested amending the special use to tlus number of children up to 15 children. Mr. Parrish stated the State/County also regulates how many childrcn could be in this type of a facility, which would override any City regulations. The City Attorney stated it was up to the Council to examine the impacts this type of a facility would have on the residents. He stated it was appropriate that the City attempt to limit what they could. Councilmember Aplikowski stated given the new information, she believed this should go back to the Planning Commission for further consideration. Jean Hoffmeister, 1201 Karth Lake Drivc, expressed concerns about the increased activity, noise, traffic, and the commercial aspect of this type of a facility. She stated it clid not appear this was a Church tun activity and expressed concern that this would be a commercial business instead. She stated the play area was directly on their back lot line and expressed concern that this was too close to their property. She asked if they were now permitted to have this daycare, would there be a limit on the numbcr of children. . Julie Carlson, Daycare Director, stated the reason she wanted to ask for 20 children was because some children needed to be accepted on a part-time business. She indicated if she got 10 full time . . . ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES APRIL 29, 2002 L./ '.'fl/l-: ~ 8 children she would be happy, but there was a possibility that there may be 10 part-time children who only came a couple of days a week. She stated at any given time, she did not expect to have over 15 children. She stated having a limit of 20 children, would also give her the opportunity to grow at some time in the futurc. She noted the State/County licensing would regulate how many children she could legally have and it was a very complicated process. She indicated this was a very structured program and the children would be supervised at all times. She stated they were willing to work with the neighbors regarding their concerns regarding noise and privacy issues. Councilmember Grant asked if they had 20 children and they were half time, which would really be 10 students. He stated the number of children would drive what they approved. Mr. Parrish stated the number of children at anyone particubr time could be a condition. Councilmember Rem asked staff to research what the State licensing guidelines for daycares were. She agreed this should be sent back to the Planning Commission for their further review. Councilmember Aplikowski statcd she did not have a problem approving this tonight, but she believcd the Planning Commission should look at this again. City Attorney stated if the Council wantcd to extend this they needcd to put it in writing and needed to obtain applicant's permission to extend. MOTION: Councilmember Larson movcd a motion to refer this back to the Planning Commission to consider the ncw information, and Council's discussion and this be put in writing to thc applicant. Mr. Lima stated if they could not be open by June 1,2001, the children in the current daycare facility would necd to find a new place to go. Mr. Parrish stated the only item that may bc difficult to get at this time would be State information requested, but this could go to the Planning Commission at thcir next mecting. He asked if the applicant needed a land use approval in place prior to the State's licensing approval. Mr. Lima stated the existing daycare facility in another church was closing May 30, 2002, and it was the intent that these children would go to the Pilgrim House daycare. Ms. Carlson stated she was unable to gct the State's approval until the City had decided to allow her to havc this daycare. She also stated she did not want to invest in supplies, furniture, ete. if the City did not allow her to tun this daycare facility. Mr. Parrish noted that the actual public hearing had already been hcld and it was not typical to renotice the public hearing. He stated this would simply go back to the Planning Commission for their further recommendation with the new information. Mayor Probst suggested the motion be withdrawn and the Planning Commission review this at their next meeting, and it come back to the Council at the May 13 meeting. . . . ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES APRIL 29,2002 9 Councilmember Larson withdrew his motion. Mayor Probst asked the applicant for an extension of seven \I) days. Mr. Lima agreed to this extension. Ms. Carlson stated her conccrn was that she would lose the fatnilies she had hoped to take with her to the new facility. Mayor Probst stated she could request they take a vote tonight, but they were required by State law to act on this tonight, unless they reccived an extension. Ms. Carlson agreed to an extension. MOTION: Councihnember Larson moved and Councihncmbcr Aplikowski seconded a motion to continue this matter to the next City Council Meeting. Motion adopted unanimously (5-0). Mayor Probst requested Item F be heard before Item E. F. Accept 2002 PMP Feasibility Report and Authorizc Preparation of Plans and Specifications. City Engineer Brown, sutntnarized the proposed project, the discussions held at tbe neighborhood meetings, and bis recommendations and costs. Mr. Bujold, stated when he received the letter with the City's recommendations, he noted errors on the fcasibility report. He stated there was no homeowner's association on tbcsc two cul-de-sacs and he did not understand this cotntnent. He indicated he was not in favor of tbe road being reduced of its present radius. It stated that while it was a nicc gesture to offer the homeowner's the opportunity to have tbeir driveways done, he believed it was the City's responsibility to do the stteets and only the streets. He asked why the overlay estimate went from $50,000.00 to $63,900.00 in just a couple on months. He asked what tbe 26 percent overbead cost was. He asked why the quantities of bituminous diffeted, and why was there different square yards us cd. He stated the size of these t\VO streets should be done for the same amount of money. He asked about thc sod price. He asked why thc sub grade excavation for Waldon Place was not smaller. He asked about the miscellaneous removal cost. He believed this was excessive. He asked what $2,000.00 would buy in the way of traffic control if used in other areas of the City. Mayor Probst asked if his concerns materially changed the outcome. Mt. Bujold stated it may not change it, but he believed that something like tbis should be as accurate as possiblc before it was sent out to the residents for review. Mr. Bujold inclicated with no maintenance on the street, tbe street had lasted 20 plus years, and be inclicated any street should last this long, espccially if it was maintained. He asked the Council consider this. He stated he the opposed the 28-foot reconstruction width. Brenda Goldman, 1146 Waldon Place, indicated she liked the current wider street. She stated the street damage was not done by frost, but by no maintenance being done by the City. She noted if . . . ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES APRIL 29, 2002 10 the City had properly maintained this street, it would not be necessary for this to be reconstructed at this time. She stated they did not have a lot of traffic. She asked that this projcct be considered when Benton Way was reconstructed in the future, Carol Schjei, 1140 Hunters Court, stated she believcd something did need to be done with the cul- de-sacs. She stated she purchased her house because of the lot. She asked what affect this proposal would have on the pond. Mr. Brown stated the pond was under privatc eascment. Mr. Post replied the issue of the privatc pond maintenancc had come up in 1995 with the overlay of other streets in the neighborhood and this had not been satisfactorily resolved at that time so this was still an open issue. Gary Drewa, 1141 Hunters Court, stated he would like to scc this projcct done when Benton Way is reconstructed in the future. He stated the road would last until Benton Way was done in five to seven years. He stated he would like the whole neighborhood be done at the same time. Mr. Moore stated he had received two calls from residents, Laura Visser, 1149 Waldon Place, stating she was in favor of the total 28 foot reconstruct and Mr. Dennis Munson, 1144 Waldon Place who also stated he was in favor of the 28 foot reconstruct. Ruth Rolfs, 1135 Hunters Court, stated she preferred the 32-foot toad width, but if they did go with the 28-foot reconstruct, she requested a surmountable curb. Councilmember Larson asked for the benefits of a 28-foot versus a 32-foot road width. Mr. Btown summarized the benefits, MOTION: Councilmember Aplikowski moved and Councilmember Larson seconded a motion to accept the 2002 PMP Feasibility Report. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). Councilmember Aplikowski stated she had listened to the residents regarding having only mill and overlay done at this time. However, it sccmed historically that as soon as this decision was made something bad would happen to the road and it was a difficult thing to value weight this. Councilmember Larson stated he was in favor of going forward witb the rcconstruction of the 28 feet. Hc stated he understood why the residents wanted to go with a wider street, but this would cost all of thc taxpayers' more money. He stated a narrower street would also calm traffic even though this was a cul-dc-sac. He stated unless there was a persuasive argument for the wider street, he would vote for a 28 foot street. He stated the residents in attendance tonight were only a small rcpresentation of all of the residents in the neighborhood. Hc statcd he was in agrcement with a surmountable curb. Councilmember Grant stated this was a difficult dccision. He stated he would have to agree with the 28-foot road because of the cost. He also agreed with the surmountable curb. . . . ,...:--...,~ .-....., ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES APRIL 29, 2002 1....../ , " 11 Councilmcmber Rem stated shc understood at the last meeting, the residents wcrc in favor of a 28- foot street and due to the cost differencc, she would reconunend it staying as it was. However, she stated if the residents wanted the wider strcct, she would agree to this, and she did not believe the cost difference would bc that great. Councilmembcr Grant asked how many residents preferrcd the 28-foot versus the 32-foot road. He indicated given the nature of the show of hands, he changed his preference to 32 feet. He stated there was a clear majority for the additional street width. Hc stated he was not convinced it was that much morc cost for the City to go with the 32-foot street. Councilmember Larson stated he was not comfortable ,vith the resident's voting on this typc of an issue. He did not belicve the vote was representative of all 16 residents living on the cul-de-sacs. He stated he believed they had an oblig>1tion to rcprcsent the City as a whole and not just certain residents. He stated the 32-foot street was extra money coming from other residents. Mayor Probst stated he believcd the appropriatc approach was to go with the 28-foot street. He stated the sub-base was not adequate right now and if thcy did a rnill and overlay, they could not guarantee how long it would last. He believed the reconstruct was the appropriatc approach. He did support the sw:mountable curb. MOTION: Councilmember Aplikowski moved and Councilmember Rem seconded a motion to authorize a reconstruct of Hunters Court and Waldcn Place with a 32-foot widc road and sw:mountable cw:b. Councilmember Aplikowski stated she was prepared to go with the 28-foot, but if the resident's wanted this, then the City should listen. She stated at this time, there is no drastic reason not to givc the residents what they wanted. Councilmcmber Larson the 28-foot width would reduce the cost and reiterated that there was not a representativc view of the residents tonight. He also stated less street coverage would create less runoff into the ponds. He stated these were good rcasons to rcducc the size of the street. Motion carried (3-2 Larson and Probst). E. TCAAP Developer Discussion Mayor Probst asked Council how they wanted to handle this discussion. MOTION: Councilinember Larson moved and Councilmember Aplikowski seconded for discussion that they go forward with the negotiation of a Predevelopment Agreement with the consortium they had talked about at the Work Session working with Centex/Glenn Rehbein/Ryan Companies proposal and Opus Corporation being a possible runner-up. Councilmcmber Aplikowski stated she was apprchensive to make a decision tonight. She stated she believed this was premature and Council had not discussed their vision for this. She stated they still needed Congressional approval for transfer of this land. She statcd Centex was not her first choice. . . . ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES APRIL 29,2002 12 She preferred Opus as her fIrst choice. She stated they had not identifIed how they felt about this whole ptocess. Mayat Probst stated the selection tonight would simply gct a partner in place that would help them move forward with the potential transfer and the environmental clean-up. He stated they had a starting point with the Vento Plan and they had a commitment to move forward honoring that plan, but the fundamental challenge before them was the issues of land transfer and environmental clean- up. He stated he suppatted proceeding along the path of the motion made. He stated this motion would not neecssarily tie the City into only using one developer. Couneilmember Rem stated her preference for Opus being her the fIrst choicc and Centex being her second. Councilmember Grant stated Centex was his fIrst choice at the prcvious Watk Session; however he belicved Opus made a better ptoposal than initially presented. He statcd both were very strong players and he liked Opus' focus on the retail/offIce environment, as well as a residential aspect to the development. He stated Centex had the environmental aspect on linc, but stated they were more rcsidential than Opus' proposal. He stated he would like to scc the Council to make this decision tonight. Mayor Probst stated it was important to him to understand where everyone was at and he hopcd they would move forward tonight, but this was the biggest decision Council would ever have to make that would affect the entire community and they needed to make a good decision and put together a team that could help them get this done. Councilmember Aplikowski stated she disagreed with Mayor Probst's comment about this being thc biggest decision. She statcd the residents everyday living would go on as is whether this was approved or not. She stated this did not have the same impact for her as it did for the Mayat and this was part of her hesitancy of moving forward. She stated she would have likcd to have had more discussions as a Council to come to some agreement. She stated the reason she chose Opus was because she believed Opus presented the better proposal, but she believed she was just uncomfortable making any decision tonight. Mayor Probst stated he believed the Army was looking at disposing of thc property and it was in the best interest of the City to be a part of this. CouncIDnember Rem stated she agreed this was a very impattant decision for the City and she felt very strongly that Opus was the bettcr choice. She stated Opus seemcd to deal very well with this sitc regarding the environmental issue, other than just getting it eleaned up. She statcd she wanted to see something more thoughtful go into this process. CouncIDncmber Aplikowski stated one of her hesitancies was that other options might not have been explored. Mayor Probst replicd there was expense that a proposed dcveloper would incur, which was greater than the City funds were able to incur. He stated whichever team they choose, they may well wish to rcach into the other teams for their assistance as well. . . . ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES APRIL 29, 2002 1< .......- 13 Councihnember Larson stated all four of the parties that made presentations and proposals could satisfy the City's needs. He stated they did not havc a proposal out that companies wcrc responding to. He stated thcy did not have a dollar amount or the specifics as to what was going to happen, but it was their job to sift through the in formation they did have and come up with the best conclusions they could. He stated he chosc Ccntex because Arden Hills was basically residential and he liked the idea that Ccntex had a strong residential component. He stated he was not cnthusiastic about having a large commercial development on that property. He stated he hoped they would end up with a smaller commcrcial/industrial development. He stated they did the best job of putting together the environmental concerns and he stated clean up of the site was a very important aspect of this projcct. He stated he thought Centex also knew how to work with Congress in getting this project dealt with. He stated Centex did the best job of communicating with Council after prcsentations were madc. He stated this indicated Centex clearly wanted this project and they had a strong interest in doing this. He stated they needed to make a decision tonight. Councilmembcr Grant reminded Council that both Opus and Glenn Rchbein Companics wcre local companies. He stated thcy both had an element of being locally based. Mayor Probst believed Councilmembcr Larson had swnmarized many of the key issues and reiterated that the many hours he had spent over the last 10-14 days on this project, and particular on the time spent last month with the Congressional delegation, he could not understate the environmental clean-up issues. He stated it was important to use a team that understood the clean- up process and the demonstrated capability to deal with that issue on an on-going basis. He stated Centex had the ability to deal with the clean-up issues. He urged the Council's support on the motion made. Motion carried (3-2 Rem and Aplikowski). MOTION: Councilmember Aplikowski moved seconded by Councilmember Rem to continue the Council meeting past 10:00 p.m. Motion carried unanimously (5-0). ADMINISTRATOR COMMENTS A.

Window Treatments Mr. Lynch statcd staff had received a bid for window treatments for the City Hall, including the Council Chambers.

Staff recommended the window treatments be installed in the City Administrator's office, the west open office area, the Deputy Clerk's office, the second floor west windows, and the Council Chambers. Councilmember A plikowski stated it was disturbing this had not been dealt wid, during the design of the City Hall.

He asked if they were going to be taken down and something elsc be put in their place. He rcminded Council they still as a City did not have a Housing Maintenance Codc and requested staff look into this issue and make a rccommendation to the Council at the next meeting. Mayor Probst stated the 35W Corridor Coalition had been looking at a housing maintenancc ptogram and making recommendations. Mr. Parrish replied that was correct and once the Subdivision Ordinancc was reviewed, this would be the next Ordinancc thc Planning Commission would be looking at. . . . .

The applicant is requesting an amendment to their existing Special Use Permit to allow a daycare facility at Pilgrim House. Backaround As the Council may recall, this item was considered at the April 29, 2002 meeting of the City Council. In discussion with the City Attorney, and based on additional staff review, two additional pieces of information were presented at the meeting. First, State law currently allows daycares of 12 or less in the R-1 Zoning District. Our zoning ordinance only allows 10 or less. We cannot be more restrictive than State law. In short, a daycare could operate at Pilgrim House if 12 or less children were served. Second, and more importantly, staff found the following language in the City Code relative to daycare facilities and houses of worship: Arden Hills Zoning Ordinance, Section 6, B, 2 Accessory Uses . Day Care Facilities for Houses of Worship and Schools. Day care facilities for over ten (10) persons shall be considered as accessory uses for houses of worship and schools within all residential districts if located in the principal building. . Memo to Mayor and City Council Planning Casc #02-06, Pilgrim House Special Use Permit Amendment Page 2 of2 This language indicates that daycare is an accessory use for churches and schools. Unfortunately, this is not reflected on the Land Use Chart within the Zoning Ordinance. This should be updated in the future. Since churches and schools are special uses within the R-1 Single Family Zoning District, it is still necessary to amend the special use permit to allow for the use. Given the fact that the Planning Commission did not have the benefit of the aforementioned information, the Council eiected to refer this item back to the Commission for additional consideration. in addition, the Council requested additional information regarding state licensing requirements. The highlights the State licensing information pertinent to this request: · Outdoor activity area: Outdoor space must be at least 1500 square feet total and least 75 square feet per child; be within 200 feet of the center; be enclosed if adjacent to traffic and other hazards; be free of litter and other hazards; and have the required outdoor large muscle equipment. · Indoor space: The licensed capacity is limited by the amount of indoor space. A minimum of 35 square feet is required for each child. . Based on the applicant's request, State licensing regulations will require an enclosed outdoor play area of 1500 square feet. The indoor area of Pilgrim House dedicated to the daycare is approximateiy 1100 square feet. This represents a licensing capacity of 31 chiidren. At their May 1, 2002 meeting, the Commission recommended approval of the revised special use permit. This permit is aiso attached for your review. Options 1. Recommend approval as submitted. 2. Recommend approval with conditions. 3. Recommend denial. If the City denies the petitioners request, "...it must state in writing the reasons for the denial at the time that it denies the request."

Moore - Operations and Maintcnance Director J. Perron - Operations and Maintenance Superintcndcnt T. Post - City Accountant .. Background Currcnt Operations and Maintenance cmployec Mike McKinncy has announced hc will be leaving thc City of Arden Hills at the end of Octobcr, 2002. Mike has becn an Arden Hills cmployee for 30 years. With this announcement, staff thought this would bc a great opportunity to hire a rcplacement employec bcfore the departurc of anothcr. This is a bit unusual, but staff believes there are advantages to this opportunity. In a typical hiring process, which can take as long as two or three months, other staff would bc required to pitch in and pcrform jobs and duties that they might not othcrwise have to until a replacement was hired. A newly hired employee usually docsn't have thc opportunity to lcarn the history, nuances and peculiarities about the systcms, and how they operate from an employec who has performed those tasks directly. Usually, these tasks are learned by asking a lot of qucstions, a lot of trial and error, and sometimes, missteps on lost time duc to lack of "direct" knowledge of the situation. In this case, the new employee can "pick thc brain" of thc person hc/she is replacing and learn thc particulars and nuances about the system directly. , A third advantage is an opportunity for thc newly hircd employcc to learn and apply knowledge gained without some of the prcssures that come to bear when filling a position that has becn open for some period of time. . . . ~ ~ ~ EN HILLS MEMORANDUM DATE: May 7, 2002 TO: Mayor and City Council City Administrator Joc Lynch r FROM: Aaron Parrish, City Planner /1 r SUBJECT: 2002 Mctropolitan Council Opportunity Grant Attachcd is a draft grant application for thc Metropolitan Council Livable Communitics Demonstration Account Opportunity Grant program.

Tasks and Outcomes - What are the tasks to be performed, and what are the expected outcomes or products of these activities proposed to be funded by this opportunity grant?

Since a master planner has not been retained at this point, specific tasks for the public planning component have not been enumerated. Prior to retaining a master planner, the City will be facilitating a "civic engagement" process in conjunction with the University of Minnesota's Design Center for the American Urban Landscape. This will allow a common vision to be developed for the site prior to more refined analysis. c. Timeline - What is the general timeline for this proposed project and the tasks outlined above? When do you anticipate beginning your project? (Or, if project has already begun, list steps completed or begun). What is the expected completion date of this project? Describe any circumstances relating to time constraints or development pressures on the project. Based on the timeline above, it is anticipated that master planning will be completed near the end of 2002 or early in 2003. The "civic engagement" element will begin in the near future. With regard to timing, the City would like to have a master plan developed as soon as possible to help facilitate the land transfer process. As stated previously, timing of the overall project is dependent on actions by the Federal government. If the Federal government elects to "dispose" of the property by deeding it directly to the City, this process could take approximately 2-4 years. Alternatively, the City could pursue the property through special Congressional legislation. This could potentially expedite the process. As an aside, there is significant pressure by a variety of groups to obtain portions of the property for uses consistent with their particular mission and objectives, but not necessarily consistent with the City's comprehensive plan. . 3. PROCESS AND PARTNERSHIPS (begin new page - two page limit) a. Local involvement. Describe the role of the applicant city officials and staff and the nature of community involvement in the project. . Community officials and staff: While the particular planning approach has not been identified at this point, it is anticipated that community officials will be central to the process. Preliminarily, it is anticipated that a task force will be convened to act as a master planning working group. This group would consist of members ofthe Planning Commission; Parks, Trails, and Recreation Committee representatives; and other interested community members. As outlined in the Project Team element below, staff will serve to facilitate the process. . Public Involvement. Given the size, scope, and potential implications of such a large project, a comprehensive public involvement strategy is paramount to the development of a plan that is accepted by members of the community. Presently, the City of Arden Hills is working with the University of Minnesota's Design Center for the American Urban Landscape to facilitate a "civic engagement" process. This will allow interested community members the opportunity to refine a collective vision and provide the foundation for planning outcomes in conjunction with the selected master planner. . b.

List names or qualifications of consultants you would propose hiring. Staff or Consultant Name Name of Firm if a Iicable) Joe Lynch, City Administrator City of Arden Hills .

Master Planning Consultant (Engineering, environmental, and market To be determined subconsultants will also be incorporated), . In addition to the above, throughout the civic engagement process and master planning for the site, the City will rely on the experience and expertise of Centex Multifamily, Ryan Companies, and Glenn Rehbein Companies. This development team has recently been designated by the City Council as tentative master developer for the site. While at this time the relationship between the City and the development team has not yet been formalized on a legal basis, it is anticipated that the Centex team will be integral with regard to land acquisition. The collaboration will also provide an invaluable market perspective. c, Partnerships. List and briefly describe the type and nature of partnerships in the project among government, private, for-profit and non-profit sectors (as applicable). In anticipation for the reuse of TCAAP property, the City of Arden Hills has established several formal and informal partnerships. These partnerships include: . · 1-35W Corridor Coalition and Adjacent Communities: The 1-35W Corridor Coalition, a coalition of seven cities adjacent to 1-35W, has provided strong support to the City's redevelopment efforts for the TCAAP site, As the project progresses, partnering with Coalition cities will promote positive intergovernmental cooperation and provide a subregional context for decision-making. The Coalition Board, along with the Cities of New Brighton, Mounds View, Roseville, Blaine, and Circle Pines have all provided resolutions of support with regard to Arden Hills' TCAAP redevelopment goals. · Metropolitan Council: While a partnership has not been formally established, it is anticipated that the Metropolitan Council will be active in planning and supportive of the reuse of the TCAAP property. Recently, with recommendation from the Livable Communities Committee, the Metropolitan Council has provided a resolution supporting Arden Hills' effort to redevelop the property. . Congressional Representatives: The City of Arden Hills has been working closely with congressional representatives and their staff. In particular, the Mayor and City Administrator have been working close with Representative Betty McCollum on a multiplicity of issues impacting the site. . Public - Private Partnership: As previously mentioned, the City has designated a tentative master developer for the site. As such, the Centex development team will provide resources (both financial and in-kind) to facilitate the reuse and acquisition of the TCAAP property. However, it should be noted that the City will guide the planning process independent of the selected development team. . . . . 4. FUNDING REQUEST (begin new page) Eliqible Uses of Funds: Preparation of master plans or detailed redevelopment plans; market studies to assist in determining retail/office/housing mix and cost; conducting design workshops and developing design standards; zoning and land use implementation tools, such as overlay zones, special zoning districts. Ineliqible Uses of Funds: Land acquisition, infrastructure, construction costs, administrative overhead, project coordination, activities prior to the start of the grant project; legal fees; permits, licenses or authorization fees; costs associated with preparing other grant proposals; operating expenses; comprehensive planning costs; and prorated lease and salary costs. Use attached table (Attachment A) to provide requested information, then respond to the following questions (one page limit): a. Total Amount Requested: $100,000 Based on the project scope and size, we are requesting funds in excess of $75,000 b. If fewer dollars are available than requested, how would you prioritize the components in your request. See item 40 c. How would a smaller grant affect your ability to move the project forward? See item 40 d. What could not be accomplished in the project but for receipt of an Opportunity Grant? It is anticipated that the planning process for TCMP would go forward absent any financial support from the Livable Communities Demonstration Account. However, no funding or a reduction in funding would have two primary impacts. First, the scope of the planning work would have to be reevaluated. This would limit the amount of information available for decision-making and planning purposes. If the project scope were reduced, areas that may not be able to be incorporated include comprehensive market analysis; higher quality graphics, mapping, and other visual representations; select land use implementation tools; and innovative public involvement strategies/processes. Second, a reduction in funding may have an adverse impact on the quality of planning consultant that is retained for the project. Given the size and scope of the project, it is hoped that a planning consultant with significant experience in the area of military reuse, contemporary urban planning principles, transportation, and design could be retained, Funding constraints may place the City in a position of selecting the low bidder for the project.

A new bill was been signed into law on April 19 that will restrict the use of lawn fertilizers containing phosphorus throughout the state. Minnesota is the first state in the nation to take such an action to further improve the quality of our waters and thus reduce the public costs to treat the effects of phosphorus pollution. . Your support and that of over 50 cities, other local governments and associations, largely through governing board resolutions and contacts with legislators at key moments, were critical to the passage of this legislation. I would like especially to acknowledge the financial support given to Shorewood by the cities of Cottage Grove, Eagan, Eden Prairie, Falcon Heights, Plymouth, and Stillwater. While we sought State regulation of the sale of these fertilizers, this broad of a scope proved unpassable. By restricting the use of such fertilizers, however, we believe that manufacturers and retailers will not want to cause or abet illegal activity by their customers; hence, they will need to make low- and no-phosphorus fertilizers readily available to consumers. The key provisions in the legislation, nearly all of which will take effect January I, 2004: . · Maximum of 0% phosphorus content in the seven-county Metro area, and 3% phosphorus content in the rest of Minnesota, will be allowed to be used. (Reasonable exceptions, of course: establishment of new turf, or soil test results showing a deficiency of phosphorus.) . Non-metro local units of government may adopt ordinances to go to 0% phosphorus, provided that they subsequently notify the Department of Agriculture. . Local ordinances more restrictive than the new law are grandfathered if they were effective prior to August 1,2002. (The League of Minnesota Cities and Association of Metropolitan Municipalities are developing sample/model ordinances for cities that may want to have restrictions on the sale of fertilizers with phosphorus.) . Golf courses and commercial applicators are exempted, provided they have State license, training, or certification. · The Department of Agriculture, with consultation from other interested organizations, will develop point-of-sale information. no t:.J PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER . Lawn Fertilizer Legislation April 30, 2002 Page Two . The Department of Agriculture, with involvement of the University of Minnesota extension service and other interested or affected parties, will evaluate effectiveness of the law and report to the Legislature by January 15, 2007. . The scope of the legislation is turf fertilizers. Cities may not regulate fertilizers containing phosphorus for agricultural uses or application. Being involved in the process of passing a piece oflegislation is interesting, to say the least. This proposal certainly had its ups and downs. Despite the overwhelming support (55 - 3 in the Senate, 116 - 16 in the House, on each body's fIrst reading), there were severa! times that the bill might be held up to miss committee deadlines, and several times that the nose-counting did not appear in our favor. There were many long or sleepless nights. Ultimately, hard work at fInding common ground as well as good old common sense prevailed. This law was the result of the involvement of many people and organizations. I am greatly appreciative and personally humbled by the support shown by so many, Shorewood is proud to be a member of the broad coalition backing and pushing this bill. Thank you again for being a part of this unprecedented legislation, . Sincerely, .;.'L'.,' etG iU / Woody Love Mayor c: City Manager/Administrator .

The mayor became very concerned over the media coverage after yesterday and is respectfully asking us to cooperate in keeping publicity very low profile at this time. He is concerned the congressional delegation and other groups may get the wrong impression over these reports. Redevelopment of TCAAP is a very sensitive issue for many and the less said the better at this time. I told him we would supply no more information to the media until we had met with the city and could coordinate how communication with the media will take place. I told him we were in complete agreement with the mayor on this issue. I also emphasized we were not attempting to solicit interest from the media over the TCMP developments but that we have been contacted by media based on the decision the city council made Monday night. erhe bottom line at this point is that it is in the city and our best interest to keep this process low profile at this time. I would request that for the time being any requests to our team from the media for information on this matter be forwarded to the City of Arden Hills, and we will let them handle it until a more formal process and procedure can be mutually agreed to. If you have any comments or concerns on this please let me know.

City Administrator City of Arden Hills VIA FAX RE: County Maintenance Facility TeAAP Property Our File No,: 10450/920001 Dear Joe: . As you may know. Ramsey County is the only charter county in the State of Minnesota. The Ramsey County Charter includes the following provisions: 1. To acquire by gift, devise, purchase or condemnation any property on such terms as the Cou nty Board deems appropriate, and to sell or lease any property of the County, if needed, for the full discharge of the powers and duties of the County, subject to this Charter and State law, (Ramsey Charter Section 2.02, Subd. l). 2. To contract for acquisition, construction, or improvement of real property or buildi ngs in a manner determined by the County Board, to serve the interests of the public in regard to cost, speed, and quality of construction. Alternative construction procurement methods inciude, but are not limited to: (1) the solicitation of proposals for construction on a design/build basis and subsequent negotiation of contract terms; or (2) the solicitation of proposals for a construction management agreement which may include a guaranteed maximum price, (Ramsey County Charter Section 2.02, Subd. M), It is the County Attorney's position that the flexible design/build provisions of its Charter supersede the competitive bidding requirements of the Uniform Contracting Law (M.S. ~4 71.345). The County has utilized its design/build process in the past and anticipates that it will follow this process if it constructs a maintenance facility on the TCAAP Property. .

May-Ol-ZDDZ 13;33 T-610 P 003/003 F-337 From-PETERSON FRAM BERGMAN 6512Z91753 May 1, 2002 Page 2 Assuming that the County undertakes the construction project, State law would permit the County to lease or convey all or a portion of the property to the City. Any county, town, city or other public corporation may [ease or convey its lands for a nominal consideration without consideration or for such consideration as may be agreed upon to the state or to any governmental subdivision, to the United States or to any agency of the federal government, another public corporation, or to the Minnesota State Armory Building Commission for public use when authorized by its governing body. (M.S. H65,035). There are many ways to structure a sale or lease option between the City and the County. The City could sign an agreement to lease or purchase the property. As part of that agreement, the City could define the manner in which it wants to participate in the design phase of the project. The agreement could also address issues relating to construction materials, setbacks, landscaping, and other issues relating to zoning.

During those meetings, many citizens expressed that keeping cuts out of the classroom should remain the highest priority. The community also suggested that transportation was one area where reductions were possible, and they encouraged the Board to consider offering a fee-for-service option. On April 11, the School Board revised the 2002-2003 transportation policy. Following are the most commonly asked questions and answers related to this decision. What changes will occur ill bl/sing for ne.xt year? The Board voted to include a fee for transportation for students residing within two miles of their school. The District currently provides transportation services that exceed the minimal state requirements by offering busing for middle and high school students who live one mile or more from their school, elementary school students who live Y:, mile from school and kindergarten students who live 1,400 feet from school. . What savings are expected? Total cost savings are not yet available and will be affected by fee-for-service participation and safety measures. For example, the Board addressed four hazardous crossing areas by adding more buses to transport affected students at no cost, and directed the District to create a comprehensive safety plan. What is the fee for service? The Board approved a fee-based option for those students who live less than two miles from school. The fee will be $200 per student with a family cap of $500 per year. Anyone seeking transportation service within two miles must complete the application form and submit the appropriate fee for service. The payment and registration deadline is June 14. Students who will be bused (those living beyond two miles and those that have paid for bus service) will receive postcards that may be used as a bus pass next school year. Details concerning the procedure for riding the bus will be explained in future communications. Are there opportunities for financial assistance? Families who qualify for free-and-reduced lunch will receive a fee waiver. Applications for the free-and-reduced lunch are available on the web site (www.moundsviewschools.org/foodservice/foodbenefits.asp ). Applications are also available at your child's school or at the District Food Service Office (651-639-6011). . How is the District determining its two-mile boundaries? . Computer-aided measurements are taken directly from the school site to the homc address to detennine distances. The distances are determined along circuitous routes of roadways. Will this change affect schools' start and end times? The start/end times will not change next year. Buses will continue to operate on the four- tier system. How will tliis change affect the length of typical bus rides? This information is not yet available, as we do not know the number of students who will ride buses. The elementary routes will not see much change since their routes are located in such close proximity to the school. Is transportation for special education students affected? Special education transportation is federally mandated and is not affected by the changes. How will transportation to day care facilities be affected? Ifa student's day care facility is beyond two miles of the school, transportation will be free. If the facility is within two miles of the school, transportation will be available for a fee. . What are the hazardous crossings and whom will they affect? A Bus Safety Committee will be studying hazardous crossings. Details will be explained in future communications. What other safety precautions are being taken? The Bus Safety Committee will be evaluating each school's site for safety precautions that can be established. The committee consists of Fay Gallagher, Transportation Supervisor for Mounds View Public Schools; a safety officer from the bus company; the school safety patrol officer with the Ramsey County Sheriffs Department; a representative from the City Police Department where applicable; a representative from the City Public Works Department; and a representative from each school. For those who feel unsafe, the District encourages you to participate in the fee-for-service program or to independently arrange for transportation. Can students walk to a pick-up point and receive transportation? Only students whose names are on the passenger list (or new students with passes) may ride a bus. . . . . . How early can families drop off a stude11f? How late? Guidelines will vary, school by school. Please contact your school for details. How are tile private scllools affected by tllis challge? The law requires equal treatment in transportation service for private schools, and the District will continue to follow its policy. The current bus tiers will remain in place for private schools next year. Are restoratiolls ill service possible? A transportation task force will continue to study transportation issues, explore efficiencies and ultimately recommend long-term solutions to the administration.
