Mr. Brown stated the City developed a Parks and Trails Master Plan, which outlined the
improvements for park and trails throughout the City. The Plan was adopted in 2002 after a
resident survey was conducted and indicated that expanding the trail network was a high priority.
The Plan aims to connect the Arden Hills' community through an efficient and safe trail system
that will provide residents an opportunity for healthy exercise and inter-community
conncctedness. Currently, there are very narrow walkways on both sides of the bridge. These
inadequate walkways along the County Road E bridge over TH51 are the only crossing between
Lydia Avenue in Roseville and 1-694. This area is considered a weak link in the trail system and
a "choke point" for pedestrian traffic. For these reasons, the Council directed staff to look into
improving the pedestrian crossing and sidewalk options. The proposed plan would extend the
trail system across County Road E bridge to Lindey's Park. Future trail plans include a trail that
will connect Lake Johanna to Lindey's Park and another trail that will traverse north and south
from Lindey's Park along Snelling Avenue and Old Highway 10.
Mr. Brown indicated staff requests Council provide direction on project scope and take
appropriate action on the Resolution.
Mr. Brown noted in terms of the bridge, staff believed that this is a significant safety concern
and major "choke point" for the City. He indicated the bridge improvement was being
recommended.
Mr. Brown stated staff supported the concept of the sidewalk as a connection to an overall City
trail system as outlined in the Parks and Trails Master Plan. However, recognizing the
intrusiveness into existing residential yards, staff would recommend the least intrusive, yet viable
option available. Most likely this would be the option with a 2-foot setback with a 6-foot
sidewalk. Trail linkage and pedestrian safety were the primary reasons for supporting the
sidewalk concept.
Mayor Aplikowski clarified the reason for the Resolution was because they were asking for
funds from the State. Mr. Brown replied that was correct.
Mayor Aplikowski asked what was the difference between the Option B bridge and the Option
C bridge. Mr. Brown replied the width of the sidewalk was a factor. He noted the sidewalk
would go from 7 feet wide to 10 feet wide and there would also be an interior rail. He noted with
option B, the roadway would need to be made narrower.
Mayor Aplikowski noted the Council had already made the bridge decision, but they had not
decidcd what type of bridge they would be putting in.
Dave Webster, 3529 Snelling Avenue, stated they have lived in their neighborhood for 25 years
and they had always wanted a wider sidewalk across the bridge. He noted a car on the bridge hit
his son who was on a bike a few years ago. He stated he approved of this project and it would be
an improvement to the neighborhood.

Howard Kern, 1400 West County Road E, stated he was confused about the issues tonight
because they were told at the neighborhood meeting that this project could not go forward unless
the bridge and sidewalk were done at the same time. He stated he had suggested at a previous
meeting that a berm be placed at Frecway Park and was told it was not possible to do that
because of cost, but now he noted they already had one planned. He indicated he was not against
a trail system in Arden Hills or the bridge, but he had proposed at a couple of different meeting to
have a connection from the overpass on the new bridge to a berm that would continue down
through Freeway Park ending on Arden Place, traveling down Arden Place and connecting to
Lindey's Park. He noted this would give good access to the trail system for the people who lived
on County Road E and good access to the residents who lived west of Old Snelling. He asked
what would happen to the snow in the wintertime on the sidewalk if they put a sidewalk in. He
stated Bethel students also ran along the north side of County Road E and felt that if there were a
sidewalk, the runners would still bc running in the road.
Charles Roach, 1600 Oak Avenue, stated the westbound County Road E Old Snelling
intersection was an accident waiting to happen, as well as the intersection with the bridge. He
stated when the cars came up to the east end of County Road E to turn south on Highway 51,
there was no room for pedestrians or bicyclists at that intersection and he believed it would be
advantageous if there was some continuation for the pedestrians and the bicyclists. He noted he
was in favor of this proposal.
Jim Crassweller, 1661 Lakeview Court, stated he was a member of the PTRC and he was in
favor of this proposal. He indicated he had attended most of the meetings regarding the bridge
and sidewalk. He stated he understood there was a consensus from Council at one of their Work
Sessions that the Council was in agreement with the bridge and sidewalk. He stated he was
surprised to learn later that there probably was not enough support among the Council for the
sidewalk. He noted the PTRC recommendcd the entire project be considered in its entirety. He
indicated the PTRC did not feel it was wise to put in a bridge without a connecting sidewalk. He
stated it was a safety concern for the pedestrians as well as bicyclists if they did not put in the
sidewalk. He noted the whole project was a part of the long-term plan of the City. He stated the
City needed to find the funding for this project.
.
Ms. Wolfe stated if tbis was considered as one project, there was a funding aspect and for the
State funding of the project, the bridge portion would probably score high and would be eligible
for the funding, but the sidewalk funding would not score as high and might not be eligible for
State funding.
Mayor Aplikowski stated Council had to decide if they wanted to put a sidewalk in at this time
or sometime in the future. She noted any sidewalk that would be put in would be placed in the
right-of-way. She indicated they were trying to be sensitive to the residents along County Road
E.
Lee Kern, 1400 West County Road E, read a letter to the Council from residents along West .
COllilty Road E. The letter was given to staff to place in the City's records. She stated the plan
being proposed did not follow the stated goals of the City and noted the project leads to more

traffic, more congestion, as well as more recreational traffic into a dangerous location. She noted
they have had to replace their mailbox and to get thc post in the ground with sidewalk around it
would not be easy. She also noted snow would be piled up along the sidewalk during the winter
which posed a hazard.
Mayor Aplikowski asked if the neighborhood had spoken with other residents in the area to see
if they would agree to the resident's proposal.
Ms. Hass, 1420 West County Road E, stated they had spoken with the neighborhood and she
believed they were in agreement with the letter Ms. Kern read. She also noted if this was a
sidewalk, she understood that it could not be used by bikers, only pedestrians. She stated she
was for the bridge, preferably the more expensive bridge, but recommended the Council consider
the resident's proposal for a redirected sidewalk. She asked the Council to consider this project
as two different projects. She asked the Council to vote for the bridge and against the sidewalk.
Mayor Aplikowski stated she believed the residents that were west of this area would not be in
agreement with the West County Road E resident's proposal.
Mary Rains, 3521 Ridgewood Court, believed the primary responsibility of the Council was
the safety issues. She stated the idea of looking at this as a path solely from park to park was not
speaking to the uses that the residents had. She stated she liked to walk and she did not need a
direction in which to go, but she wanted safety. She noted walking along the road was not safe.
She stated safety needed to be a primary vision of the City and recognizing that the City had
walkers, riders, bikers, etc. who used the streets for other uses than park connection. She
indicated she understood the residents concerns, but their concerns did not balance the residents
in the City as a whole.
Mayor Aplikowski asked Ms. Rains on which side of the street did she walk. Ms. Rains stated
she walked against the traffic, but if there were a sidewalk, she would utilize the sidewalk.
Leon Hass, 1420 West County Road E, stated there was not really much pedestrian traffic
along County Road E and if safety was really a concem, why didn't the residents walk one block
away.
Ms. Rains replied she was concerned about the safety of all of the residents in the City and she
did not believe they needed to justify the volume of pedestrians on County Road E.
Roger William, 3450 Seims Court, stated safety was the issue and he believed it was the
Council's job to ensure the residents' safety. He stated he had been on a previous city council in
another city and every time there was a sidewalk being put in, there was opposition to it. He
stated it was the Council's job to go with the majority of what the residents wanted. He stated if
there were a sidewalk put in, it would be used because there was a safe place for the residents to
walk. He stated he was in favor of the bridge and sidewalk. He believed the sidewalk would link
the residents on the west side to the shopping center. He asked the Council measure and weigh
their decisions and asked them to serve the most residents. He stated only nine homes would be

affected by a sidewalk being put in, where all of the residents in the City would be affected if a
sidewalk was not put in.
Bruce Kuukel, 3452 Glen Arden Road, stated he was in favor of the bridge and sidewalk. He
noted when the new bridge was put in he believed more residents would use it because it was
safer. He requested Council be concerned about the safety ofthe residents.
Mayor Aplikowski stated this was not an easy decision and the City needed to plan for the
future. She stated the one concern she had was the connection of the two parks. She noted the
most direct route, was the route that pedestrians wanted to take. She stated they could not put in
a sidewalk on the north side because there were utilities in the right-of-way which would need to
be moved and this was not going to happen financially. She indicated she had taken everything
into consideration. She noted whatever they decide had not been an easy decision and they had
weighted the pros and cons, but noted they could not make everyone happy.
Council member Grant stated one of the reasons they were looking at the sidewalk on the south
side was because of the terrain and cost. He noted he was not sure this was the safest decision.
He stated on the south side, pedestrians would have to cross at both the clove and the diamonds
on the bridge, while on the north side, they would not have to do that. He indicated it was more
difficult for the residents on the south side to get out into the traffic. He noted if the sidewalk
were on thc north side, it would be farther away from the homes than if it were on the south side. .
He indicated the north side seemed to get more pedestrian traffic, which he believed was because
Bethel College was on that side of the road, as well as McDonalds and other businesses being on
that side of the road. He expressed concern about people using the double driveways on the
south side to make a "u" turn. He stated while a sidewalk on the south side might be financially
cheaper, he was not convinced it was the safest. He stated there were redeeming qualities having
the sidewalk on the north side. He indicated this was not the only place in the City that was not
safe. He believed they should discuss this more and he was also concerned that Councilmember
Rem was not in attendance tonight for her opinion. He asked the Engineer if they needed to
specify which side the sidewalk would be put on. Mr. Brown replied the application did ask
this, but he was not sure if it would make much of a difference if the sidewalk was on the north
or south side, but the Council would want to request funding for the most expensive proposal,
which he believed would be a sidewalk on the north side. He stated he would check with the
State if this would make a difference.
Councilmember Holden stated each time they discussed the bridge and sidewalk, something
changed, including tonight with the grant information being presented. She stated when she first
started discussing this, she wanted the sidewalk for the bikers, but since that time, she had
spoken with bikers who used County Road E, who indicated they would not use a sidewalk
because of the curb cuts. She stated she had also contacted Mounds View High School and was
informed that Mounds View High School Cross Country runners would not use the sidewalk
either because ofthe curb cuts. She noted the bikers she had spoken to indicate their greatest fear .
was residents backing up into them and not riding in the street with traffic. She asked if people
were going to take the most direct route, should the City put in sidewalks/trails everywhere. She
indicated instead of a community fight, this has turned into a neighborhood fight. She stated

most of the residents outside of this specific area would not use the sidewalk. She expressed
concern about a lack of communication with the neighborhoods. She noted the City might not
get the grant and they had to take this into consideration. She stated she was not in favor of any
sidewalk until they dealt with the intersection east of the bridge. She noted she was not
comfortable voting for a sidewalk and invited residents to walk along the sidewalk when that
intersection was so unsafe. She stated she was in favor of the bridge, but not the sidewalk until
they addressed that intersection.
Councilmember Larson stated he supported this and there were good reasons to support it
including the pedestrians and public safety. He stated a primary duty of the Council was to
protect the residents' safety. He stated they had a park plan approved by the PTRC and Council,
and the top priority of the residents was they wanted trails which were rated highest. He stated
he believed people wanted to have options for moving around the City and not always having to
be in an automobile. He noted they had no connection between the east and west side ofthe City
and this was the one place where they had the one opportunity to make an east/west connection.
He stated this was on the public right-of-way and they were not taking anyone's property. He
noted there was nothing they were doing that was different than what any other city would do.
He indicated this was not unusual and it was something most cities did. He asked if they did not
put in a sidewalk here, where would they put one in. He stated he was a biker and he probably
would not use the sidewalk, but that did not mean there aren't other people, including children,
who would want to be up on the sidewalk. He did not believe bikers not using the sidewalk
should be an influence as to whether they should put in a sidewalk or not. He noted there would
be an increase of traffic on County Road E and he believed there would also be an increase in
pedestrian traffic and they needed to ensure their safety. He stated the benefits of having a
sidewalk was a better alternative than leaving them in the street. He stated the City's goal was to
put in trails that would keep people off the streets. He stated they needed to provide some off-
road alternatives for the residents. With respect to a north side sidewalk, he believed the grade
was such that if a sidewalk was put in, retaining walls would also be needed and it would not
connect the park. There are also utilities in the right-of-way and a very short driveway at 3609
County Road E. If a car should be parked in that driveway, it would block the sidewalk. He
stated the Council could not base their decision on where the residents were going, but the
Council knew the residents crossed the bridge to use the businesses on the other side. He asked
what they would gain by delaying this decision. He noted traffic would only get worse on
County Road E and he did not know what they would learn later that they did not already know.
He noted just because some homeowners opposed the sidewalk did not mean the Council should
ignore the remainder of the neighborhood. He stated they had tried as a Council to be sensitive
to the homeowners and they had come up with a compromise that would address the residents
concerns that included a sidewalk up to the road and a narrower sidewalk than originally
proposed. He stated the Council has a history on how they proceeded on this and every step of
the way they were in support of this and the only new ingredient now was the opposition of some
of the homeowners. He believed it was time for the Council to show some vision and some
leadership. He stated it was important to him to represent the entire City, and for that reason he
was going to support this because he wanted to protect the public safety of all of the residents.
He also expressed concern if they did not go forward with this project, it would be more difficult
in the future to put in trails and sidewalks into other neighhorhoods throughout the City.

Mayor Aplikowski read the Resolution the Council was considering.
Councilmember Larson stated it made sense to vote on the larger issue first and if they could
not agree to go forward with a bridge and a sidewalk, then they needed to make a decision to go
forward with the bridge itself.
Mayor Aplikowski stated they were already in agreement with the bridge, but they needed to
decide which bridge option they wanted. She stated she did not believe a sidewalk on the north
side was financially feasible for the City, even if most of the pedestrians now walked on the north
side.
MOTION: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember Grant authorized
Resolution 04-56: Requesting MNIDOT Consideration of a Cost Sharing
Cooperative Agreement for Pedestrian Improvements to County Road E
Bridge Over Trunk Highway 51 and insert Bridge Option 1 into the
Resolution.
Conncilmember Larson noted he had a difficult time voting on this before they knew if the
sidewalk was going to be approved. He suggested they deal with the sidewalk issue first and .
then take up the bridge issue. However, if the sidewalk failed, he hoped a future Council would
have the vision and courage to address this in the future.
Mayor Aplikowski stated she heard Councilmember Holden say she would not support a
sidewalk until thc intersection on the east side of the bridge was taken care of. She stated she
hcard Councilmember Grant say he was in favor of the sidcwalk on the north side, but wanted
further discussion regarding this proposal and also wanted Councilmember Rem's opinion.
Council member Larson stated he would not vote in favor of this. He stated he did support the
bridge, but if the sidewalk would not be put in at the same time, he could not support the bridge
proj ect.
Councilmember Holden called the question.
The motion carried (3-1) (Nay - Councilmember Larson)
MOTION: Councilmember Larson moved and Mayor Aplikowski seconded a motion
to approve a six-foot sidewalk connection from the bridge to Old Snelling
on the south side of the street with a two-foot colored/stamped stripped.
Councilmember Grant stated he had brought up his comments regarding the sidewalk on the
north side for discussion purposes. Mayor Aplikowski stated she did not want the sidewalk on
the north side due to the financial expense.

Mr. Brown stated there would be a significant grading issue, as well as a utility relocation issue
on the north side. He indicated they could try to get the utilities moved for free, but it was rare a
utility company would be willing to move their utilities for a sidewalk or trail at no cost. He
stated there would also be a significant expense for retaining walls if the sidewalk were located
on the north side.
Councilmember Larson stated he had addressed the issues of a sidewalk on the north side,
including utilities, grading, and the sidewalk not connecting to the parks, as well as one
resident's garage sitting close to the curb and cars parked in front of that garage would block the
sidewalk.
Councilmember Holden stated she did not understand Councilmember Larson's concerns
regarding the garage being too close to the sidewalk on the north side. Councilmember Larson
clarified that that resident would not be able to park in front of their driveway because a car
would block the sidewalk.
Councilmember Grant noted while there would be an increase in money needed if a sidewalk
was put on the north side, he believed a sidewalk on the north side would be used more.
The motion failed (2-2) (Nay - Councilmembers Grant and Holden)
Mayor Aplikowski suggested they take a break from the discussion and requested this be
revisited. She asked when the Engineer needed an answer. Mr. Brown replied he would check
with the State, but he suggested they go with the higher figure for a sidewalk, which would be on
the north side and if necessary, they could reduce it in the future if the sidewalk went on the
south side.
Mayor Aplikowski asked the Council if they were in favor of a sidewalk, whether it be on the
north or the south side.
Councilmember Holden stated she wanted an answer on the intersection before agreeing to a
sidewalk, but if the intersection were addressed, she would be in favor of a sidewalk.
Mayor Aplikowski noted Council was in favor of a sidewalk, whether it be located on the north
or south side of the strect. She stated at least the bridge was underway and there would be a
sidewalk put in with the location to be determined at a future date.
Councilmember Larson thanked the PTRC for working hard on this issue. He stated this was
exactly what the PTRC should do was to advocate for the parks and trails.
Mayor Aplikowski thanked the residents for their opinions also.
Mr. Crassweller clarified that the Council had agreed to a sidewalk and a decision would be
made in the future as to which side. He asked if they could do a motion to this effect. Mayor

Aplikowski stated this was being taped and she was not sure she could get Council to do a
motion tonight.
.
MOTION: Mayor Aplikowski moved and Councilmember Larson seconded a motion
to agree that there will be a sidewalk on either the north or south side of
the County Road E after further study was done on the safety of the
intersections and the feasibility of it being on the north side. The motion
failed (2-2) (Councilmembers Grant and Holden).
Councilmember Grant stated he would like Councilmember Rem's opinion also as well as
further information on the feasibility of the sidewalk being put on the north side.
Council member Holden stated she wanted information regarding the intersection.
Mayor Aplikowski inquired if they wanted this to be tabled to a future meeting once staff had
obtained the requested information.
MOTION: Councilmember Grant moved and Councilmember Holden seconded a
motion to postpone the discussion of the sidewalk on County Road E to a
future Council meeting once additional information was obtained on safety
concerns at the intersection and the application process at the State. .
Ms. Wolfe stated the City Engineer had suggested they make a recommendation to put the
sidewalk on the north side and he would check with the State as to how difficult it would be to
change it to the south side, if necessary.
The motion carried unanimously (4-0).
Mr. Filla arrived at 9:20 p.m.
B. Agreement for the Economic Development Commission to Prepare an Economic
Development Assistance Study
Mr. Clark slated on September 29, 2004, the first Economic Development Commission (EDC)
meeting convened. The main discussion centered on the first charge of the group. It was decided
that the preparation of a position paper to the City Council regarding economic development
assistance to the TCAAP project would be appropriate based upon consensus by the Council.
Mr. Clark outlined the tasks to be performed by the EDC. He noted the EDC was prepared to
hegin work immediately and it was assumed the EDC would need at least three to four months to
complete the assignment as presented with all meeting being scheduled from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00
a.m.
MOTION: Councilmember Larson moved and Mayor Aplikowski seconded a motion
to allow the Economic Development Commission to prepare a study paper

on "Does the TCAAP project need economic development assistance and
what types of issues does this present to the City as a whole".
Conncilmember Grant requested the Commission also look at ways for TCAAP to finance
itsclf. Mayor Aplikowski noted this was a part of this study.
Councilmember Grant stated he wanted to make sure there would not be a financial impact
with respect to an increase in taxes to the current residents because of TCAAP.
The motion carried unanimously (4-0).
7. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
A. Guidant Corporation Extension for Addition J
Mr. Hellegers explained the applicant had requested a one-year extension for the start of
construction on Addition J. The extension would be a one-year extension to currently permitted
one-year time period between approval of the Final Plan PUD and issuance of the Building
Permit.
Mr. Hellegers noted on September 13,2004 staff received a letter from Dan Riehle, Facilities
Manager for Guidant Corporation requesting an extension of one-year for the construction of
Addition]. Addition J would house research and development functions and include offices and
workstations for research and development employees. Mr. Riehle had indicated that Addition J
was a project that Guidant was committed to building and anticipated that construction would
likely begin sometime between late spring and early fall, 2005. An extension of one-year would
allow Guidant the flexibility to submit building plans within that timeframe and still begin
construction in 2005.
Mr. Hellegers stated staffrecommends approval of the one-year extension to allow Guidant to
have an approved Building Permit for Addition J no later than February 23,2005.
MOTION: Councilmember Grant moved and Councilmember Larson seconded a
motion to approve a one-year extension for the start of construction on
Addition J to allow Guidant to have an approved Building Permit no later
than February 23,2005. The motion carried unanimously (4-0).

any landscaping done, but if an irrigation system were put in, the City would probably maintain
it.
.
Mr. Moore stated the City would take over the maintenance of the irrigation system, if one was
put in, but he did not believe an irrigation system would be put in.
Councilmember Holden asked if the new 800MHZ system was in affect and how the City was
maintaining their 911 system separate from St. PauL Ms. Wolfe replied they had a meeting on
this last week and they had worked through a lot of the concerns brought up in the recent letter
that had been sent. She stated the County Board directed they locate a site that would ultimately
be large enough to dispatch for the entire County, but they were not moving into that until they
could address the cost issues.
Councilmember Grant - Stated he believed the neighborhood meetings were well attended.
However, he indicated there was confusion among residents that the residents could not attend
meetings outside of their precinct. He suggested they change the name of their meetings to not
include precinct numbers, but instead name them City meeting 1 of 4, etc. He stated some of the
new street signs were up and most of them were looking good, but some of them were at 45-
degree angles to the streets, but he understood those would be corrected in the near future. He
stated the County had acquired the property on the other side of the railroad north of Tony
Schmidt Park. He indicated the idea of painting crosswalks in a number of locations was a good .
idea and requested staff look at other areas in the City where a crosswalk would be beneficiaL
He asked how the move into the new maintenance facility was progressing. Mr. Moore replied
that all of the large equipment had been moved into the new maintenance facility and now
personal items and tools were being moved into the facility. He noted as of this week, they were
up and operational at the new facility with the phones and fax being operational tomorrow.
Councilmember Larson - Stated he agreed with Councilmember Grant regarding changing the
names of the neighborhood meetings as well as putting in crosswalks in the City at intersections
that needed them. He requested a future discussion with the Council as to what they visualized
for the old City Hall site, now that there was a possible development proposal being discussed.
Mr. Clark stated he understood staff did have authorization to have discussions with the
developer and they had received an offer today on the property and this was on the agenda for
discussion at their Work session next week.
Mayor Aplikowski - Stated she had returned from a conference in Duluth today and Aaron
Parrish sent greetings back to the CounciL She stated she hoped the City paint crosswalks at
intersections because this was an important issue. Mr. Moore replied these were County
crosswalks and in the past the City was not permitted to do the work on the crosswalks and the
crosswalks would be done by the County when their schedule permitted. However, he indicated
he would check with the County as to whether they would move this up on their schedule, or
whether they would give City maintenance staff permission to stripe the crosswalks themselves .
and would update Council on this in the future.

Mayor Aplikowski - Stated they would need to put a reminder in the City newsletter when these
crosswalks were put in that it was against the law to proceed through an intersection when there
was a pedestrian in the crosswalk.
Mayor Aplikowski - Agreed they should change the name of the neighborhood meetings and
suggested they simply list them as City meetings.
Mayor Aplikowski - Stated the Shoreview Council was very upset with the decision made on
the Lexington Avenue sidewalk. She stated the Shoreview Council wanted the bituminous trail
to he on the Arden Hills side. She indicated she would not ask the Council to reconsider their
dccision, but asked ifthe Council stood by their decision on the Lexington Avenue sidewalk.
Councilmember Grant - Stated he was fine with their previous decision.
Councilmember Larson - Stated he had spoken with a Shoreview Councilmember and he
understood their concerns, but he believed if they were going to be asked to act, he wanted the
request to come from the Shoreview Council as a whole and not one Councilmember. Ms.
Wolfe stated she had heard a rumor that the Shoreview Council was not pleased with the
decision made at the last meeting and inquired with a Shoreview staff member and the Mayor
about this who indicated they understood the Arden Hills Council's decision.
Mayor Aplikowski agreed that unless this was a formal request made by the Shoreview City
Council, their decision would stand as it was.
Mayor Aplikowski adjourned the Regular City Council Meeting at 9:51 p.m.

CITY OF ARDEN HILLS, MINNESOTA
SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION
OCTOBER 12, 2004, 9:35 P.M.
CITY HALL COUNCIL CHAMBERS, 1245 WEST HIGHWAY 96
Meeting called to order at 9:35 p.m.
Those in attendance: Mayor Aplikowski, Councilmembers Grant, Larson and Holden.
Staff: Michelle Wolfe, City Administrator; Scott Clark, Community Development Director; and
Jerry Filla, City Attorney.
CRR, Inc. Representation: Bart Rhehbein and Jeff Knutson, Rheinbein and Associates; Collin
Barr, Ryan Companies; John Shardlow, DSU.
The first item of business was thc review of the draft Framework Plan. The development team
was encouraged to give comments so these could be shared with the Master Planning Advisory
Panel. Mr. Shardlow asked if another presentation ofthe Plan should be made and it was decided
that it was not necessary. Mr. Shardlow did point out that there is a 60 acre deficiency in the Plan
and that a boundary survey will be needed to determine where the shortfall lies.
Mr. Barr, representing CRR's portion, stated that their concerns were:
The ratio of tax generating acreage to other parcels created a Plan that could be
economically unfeasible. To gain an understanding of this he passed out a matrix,
dated October 12, 2004, showing other major twin cities development/redevelopment
projects and their ratios.
Additional characterization may cause changing of some land uses.
The Council asked about phasing. Mr. Shardlow and CRR responded that a key part
of phasing is that the major north/south roadway and some of the physical design
attributes may have to be constructed ahead of actual development causing additional
project cost. Some of the other issues that will have to be addressed are how
demolition is staged, which lands uses to market first, etc. Also, the issue of LRT to
the site can be flexible.
Mr. Shardlow's next step will be the completion of Phase 3. He stated that it was important to
complete this Plan which creates the vision. He also stated that MnDOT views this Plan as
workable.
Councilmember Larson liked the Plan as a vision. Councilmember Holden had concerns if the
Plan was affordable, especially since the costs of clean-up have not been finalized.

There was also a discussion regarding future phases and that a shift in the implementation work
to the City will be in order, albeit, keeping the Master Planning Advisory Panel informed. The
Phase 3 planning process should be completed by the end of the year.
.
The next item was discussion on a proposed new Interim Agreement. Mr. Clark gave a history of
the current negotiations to date.
Mr. Knutson gave a presentation for CRR, Inc. He stated that since the existing Interim
Agreement terminates in November, one path would be to let the Agreement expire and for
CRR, Inc. to take time off of the project. He felt that the City needed time to come to an internal
conscnsus regarding an economic development assistance policy.
Mayor Aplikowski stated that she understood that CRR and staff had discussions regarding a
compromise position. Mr. Knutson produced a six month extension memorandum which
contained business points including a capped escrow, reimbursement for past efforts and a
provision that the City would be directing the Economic Development Commission to assist
them in developing financial policies. After some discussion, it was directed that the City
Attorney would prepare an extension Agreement for the Council to act on at their October 25,
2004 meeting. A handout ofthe same would be given out at the October 18th Work Session.
Councilmembers Grant and Larson gave a brief recap of their 35W Solutions Task Force.
.
Meeting adjourned at II :45 p.m.
Respectfully submitted by Scott Clark, Community Development Director.

.
DATE:
October 20, 2004
Agenda Item 3.C
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council ""'s
FROM: Murtuza Siddiqui, Finance DirectorlTreasurer
SUBJECT: Utility Rate Study
BACKGROUND:
In July 2004, the Council approved hiring Abdo, Eick, and Meyers (consultant) to perform a
Utility Rate Study. The City had not reviewed or adjusted its water rates since 1999, and sewer
and storm water rates since 2001. Currently, the enterprise funds are breaking even from a
routine operational perspective. This does not take into account major maintenance projects. The
existing rate structure does not appear to be adequate and is not able to accommodate .
maintenance of the sewer, storm water, and water infrastructure in the long-term.
DISCUSSION:
The consultant has completed the Utility Rates Study. The study not only reviewed the City's
rates and analyzed the cash flow requirements, but it has also compared rates with eleven other
cities from the surrounding communities. The attached report is very comprehensive with
summary recommendations on page nine. It should be noted that this study does not assume
debt issuance and has used the most recent 5 year CIP data.
The study took a multi pronged approach. First it reviewed the city's rate structure and
compared it with a number of surrounding communities of comparable size. The next approach
was to determine the future cash flow requirements in order to have adequate funds to support
the undertaking ofthe proposed projects, as well as maintaining a desirable fund balance in the
enterprise (utility) funds. A draft Utility Rate Study document was presented at the September
20, 2004 Work Session. The Council was not comfortable with the proposed rate increase and
expressed a comfort level with a residential rate increase of $18 per quarter for a residential
account that uses an average of 15,000 gallons per quarter. Based on this directive, st~fworked
with the consultant to modify the rates and adjust the cash flow data accordingly. A final version
of the Utility Rate Study was presented at the October. 18th Work Session. This version
incorporated the direction provided by the Council with regards to the CIP, as well as the
suggested rate increase.

Memo
Utility Rate Study
2
Overall, if the City accepts the consultant's recommendation, an average resident that uses
15,000 gallons of water per quarter in winter will see an increase of about $18 on their quarterly
bill. A commercial account with an average usage of 120,000 gallons of water per month will
notice a rate increase of about $146 per month. The rate change is to be implemented the first
quarter of 2005. The proposed rate structure recommends an increase ofthis magnitude in the
first year, however, in subsequent years, the increases are significantly lower. The study details
the rate structure.
The Utility Rate Study is a "cash flow" model. Anticipated revenues and expenditures have a
direct impact on the fund balance or cash on hand at a given point in time. There is a direct
correlation between revenues and expenditures. For example, if expenditures are adjusted while
not adjusting the revenue side will result in an increase or decrease in fund balance. Similarly,
adjusting the revenue side and not adjusting the expenditure side will also have an impact on the
fund balance. The Council may want to consider establishing a target cash balance amount in the
utility funds. (Please refer to thc attached Utility Rate Study).
It should be noted that the proposed rates by the consultant can be modified if the City decides to
modify the list of future CIPIPMP projects by either adding to or deleting from the list of
proposed projects. The results of the study and the determination ofthe rate structure are based
on a list of anticipated CIPIPMP projects.
Staff has summarized the changes to the utility rates that are proposed in this document as a
cover sheet to the Utility Rate Study document.
The consultant's report/study is very comprehensive and is attached with this memorandum. The
consultant will provide the "cash flow" model - spreadsheet based, to the City for its records.
Moving forward, the City staff should be able to maintain it, and if necessary, modify it.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Staff recommends that the Council accept the Utility Rate Study and direct staff to implement
the new rate structure effective the first complete billing cycle of 2005.

INTRODUCTION
The City of Arden Hills, Minnesota (the City) owns and operates water, sanitary sewer and surface water management
utilities. These services are provided to over 2,500 residential and commercial customers. There is no growth projected
in the number of accounts over the life of the projection. As a result, the City will need to rely on rate increases in order
to fund increased operating costs. Current numbers of accounts are listed below:

CITY OF ARDEN HILLS, MINNESOTA
RATE STUDY
SEPTEMBER 9, 2004
INrRODUCTION - CONTINUED
This rate study analyzes the cash flows of the water, sanitary sewer and snrface water management funds of the City.
Sonrces and uses of cash are projected for the years ending December 31,2004 to December 31, 2009. The study uses
the current number and type of accounts to project future revenue at different rate scenarios for the each fund.
Average annual capital costs are projected at approximately $687,000 for the projection period for all three funds
combined. For the years ended December 31, 2000 through 2003, the average annual capital expenditure for all three
funds was approximately $450,000. The increase in capital cost along with a decline in operating margins over the last
several years will result in the elimination of reserves and working capital in a fairly short time frame even ifrates are
raised at a 3 percent inflationary rate over the next seven years.
The tmancial projection is based on sales at current usage patterns and expenses projected as discussed in the
assumptions below and presents. to the best ofmanagement's knowledge and belief, the City's expected results of cash
flows for the projection period if such usage patterns and uses of cash ocenr. Accordingly, the projection reflects its
judgment as of September 9,2004, the date of this projection, of the expected conditions and its expected conrse of
action if such usage and expense totals were attained. The presentation is designed to provide information to the City
Council concerning recovery of expenses that might be achieved if rates were raised and usage totals are realized and
should not be considered to be a presentation of expected future results. Accordingly, this projection may not be useful
for other purposes. The assumptions disclosed herein are those that management believes are significant to the
projection. Furthermore, even if the stated population growth and usage totals were attained, there will usually be
differences between projected and acmal resuIts~ because events and circumstances frequently do not occur as expected
and those differences may be material.
II.
ASSUMPTIONS
Usage Assumptions
The water usage assumptions were based on consumption information from the Banyan Data Systems utility module for
the most recent fonr quarters. These quarters included 3'd and 4ili quarter 2003 and J" and 2nd quarter 2004. This
consumption information was broken down by number of senior accounts and number of accOlmts over and under the
base fee by quarter. This information was used as the basis to project future usage. No change in total gallons billed per
household was anticipated.
We also used the usage information to calculate a usage based rate for sanitary sewer. TIlls scenario calculated a rate
based on 'Winter quarter usage.
Expense Assumptions
Personal services - The fIrst year of the projection $20,000 was added along with a 3 percent inflationary increase for
salaries. The $20,000 was added as a result of the increase in employee insnrance costs. After 2004, a 3 percent
inflationary increase was added per year.
Supplies and maintenance - 3 percent inflationary increase per year based on fairly consistent expenses each year.
Other services and charges - The three years of history were averaged and, for years 2004 and thereafter, a 3 percent
inflationary increase per year were added along with a fIxed $75,000 per year for unexpected maintenance of
deteriorating infrastructure. The $75,000 is allocated 40 percent to the water fund, 40 percent to the sewer fund and 20
percent to the surface water management fund.
Rent. Increased to a total of$56,000 based on county projection for 2005, allocated 50 percent to each of the Water and
Sanitary Sewer funds, with a 3 percent increase from that point starting in 2006.

SEPTEMBER 9, 2004
ASSUMPTIONS - CONTINUED
Debt assumptions - The City did not intend to issue debt during the projection period. If debt were issued it would have
an impact on what rate increases would be necessary to cover costs within the projection period.
Ill. WATER RATE STUDY
Currently the City's water rate structure is as follows:

Non- Senior
Commercial
Most categories are consistent with what other cities have except for the senior category. The senior category represents
17 percent of the total residential accounts and they only pay for usage. There is no base fee. For the last 4 billing
periods the seniors that have been under the base have averaged 166 accounts and these accounts have used
approximately 7,000 gallons per quarter. This translates to an annual discount of approximately $4,500 to the senior
aCcOlUlts which is relatively insignificant to the total.
We have presented projections of cash flow under three different scenarios:
I. Rates stay the same for all categories
2. Rates increase 3 percent per year for all categories starting in 2005
3. Rate are increased to cover the increased costs and maintain a cash reserve at approximately $1.2 million

Rate scenario I is not an option without issuing debt to finance a large portion of the planned capital projects. Rate
scenario 2 projects results based on a 3 percent inflationary increase per year starting in 2005. The cash balance is
adequate nntil the 2008 projects are completed. After 2007 the cash balance is not adequate for working capitaL
Rate scenario 3 uses the fonowing increases to arrive at the cash flow described above:
Percent
Year Category Rate Increase
2004 Usage per 1,000 gallons $ 2.20 0%
Base up to 10,000 21.95 0%
2005 Usage per 1,000 gallons 2.53 15%
Base up to 10,000 25.24 15%
2006 Usage per 1,000 gallons 2.66 5%
Base up to 10,000 26.50 5%
2007 Usage per 1,000 gallons 2.79 5%
Base up to 10,000 27.83 5%
2008 Usage per 1,000 gallons 2.93 5%
Base up to 10,000 29.22 5%
2009 Usage per 1,000 gallons 3.02 3%
Base up to 10,000 30.10 3%
.
If rate scenario 3 is chosen, the City will have the second highest residential water rates as calculated in the comparison
table. The average for all II communities presented excluding Arden Hills is $46.43. Currently Arden Hills falls in the
middle of the comparison cities. There are 5 cities with higher rates based on 24,000 gallons (average for Arden Hills'
customers) and there are 6 with rates lower than Arden Hills. If Arden Hills' rate goes to $2.53 per 1,000 gallons the
average residential bill for 24,000 gallons of usage will go from $52.33 to $60.24 or 30 percent higher than the average.
The top 5 cities in the comparison average approximately $58 per quarter. A comparison to the top 5 indicates that the
increase would be approximately 3 percent higher than the top 5 cities in the comparison list. The commercial rates
would also be the second highest in the comparison and would be 28 percent higher than the average.
IV. SANITARY SEWER RATE STUDY
Currently the City's sanitary sewer rate structure is as follows:
Cate~ory Type Amount
Senior per quarter charge $ 33.95
N on- Senior per quarter charge 50.95
Connnercial per 1,000 gallons 2.63
The senior acconnts total 17 percent of residential acconnts. The rate structure results in a total disconnt of $28,000
annually to the senior category when compared with regular residential billing. One of the other observations we made
wben compiling data for all acconnts is the fairly large number ofacconnts that use over 15,000 gallons of water during
the winter quarter. We noted that 955 of 1989 residential accounts or 48 percent use more than 15,000 gallons in the
winter quarter. To obtain winter quarter statistics we used the February 2004 billing for Group 1, March 2004 billing fOe
Group 2 and April, 2004 billing for Group 3. The average usage for the 955 accounts was approximately 24,000 gallons
in the winter quarter. We established a usage rate for sanitary sewer based on winter quarter data.

Rate scenario 1 is not an option without issuing debt to finance a large portion of the planned capital projects.
Rate scenario 2 projects results based on a 3 percent inflationary increase pe' year starting in 2005. The cash balance is
not adequate for working capital starting in 2006 and ends at negative starting in 2007 and continuing nntil 2009. This
option would only work with a debt issuance.

Rate scenario 3 uses the following increases to arrive at the cash flow described above. The senior and commercial
usage rates would increase at the same percentage:
Dollar Rate
Increase Per Percent
Year Category Rate Quarter Increase
2004 Base $ 50.95 $ 0%
2005 Base 58.59 15.29 15%
2006 Base 61.52 3.31 5%
2007 Base 64.60 3.47 5%
2008 Base 67.83 3.66 5%
2009 Base 69.86 2.30 3%
.
This rate scenario would result in Arden Hills having the third highest sewer rate of the 11 cities presented. Currently
Arden Hills has the sixth highest of I!. This scenario would allow the City to finish the projection period with a cash
reserve at nearly the same level as December 31,2003 while paying for $1,362,700 of projected project costs.
Rate scenario 4 incorporates a usage component for non-senior residential customers that use more than 15,000 gallons
per quarter in the winter quarter. The senior and commercial usage rates would increase only] 5 percent in the frrst year
and theu would be adjusted in snbsequent years. As mentioned previously, the top 955 accounts average 24,000 gallons
in the winter quarter. This would result in the higher users paying $25 on average more per quarter than those that use
under the base. The rates and increases would be as follows:

RECOMMENDATIONS
In order to cover the costs of operations with no bonding, the following rates are recommended.
. Water - Rate scenario 3 which results in aJ 5 percent increase in usage rates beginning 1 st quarter 2005.
. Sanitary sewer - Rate scenario 4 which adds a usage component for higher residential users beginning 1 st
quarter 2005. The base would be set in winter quarter. The residential customer would incur a usage fee per
1,000 gallons when they exceed 15,000. This structure would result in a 15 percent increase over current rates
for all categories and would incorporate the usage fee of$2.80 per 1,000 gallons forresidential usage above
15,000.
. Surface water - Rate scenario 3 which results in a 100 percent increase in the current rates and adjusts the rates
by 3 percent annually beginning I" quarter 2005.
The effeet on the bill of a residential customer that uses 15,000 in the winter quarter would be as follows.
.
New Rate Old Rate Increase
Residential
Water $ 37.59 $ 32.25 $ 5.34
Standby 6.00 5.00 1.00
Sanitary sewer 58.59 50.95 7.64
Surface water 8.16 4.08 4.08
Total $ 110.34 $ 92.28 $ 18.06 .
The effect on the bill ofa commercial customer that uses 120,000 gallons of water per month and has 6 acres would be
as follows:
New Rate Old Rate Increase
Connnercial
Water $ 296.40 $ 258.00 $ 38.40
Standby 54.00 45.00 9.00
Sanitary sewer 362.40 315.60 46.80
Surface water 104.00 52.00 52.00
Total $ 816.80 $ 670.60 $ 146.20
In addition we recommend the City implement the annual increases in order to keep pace with inflation.

MEMORANDUM
DATE:
October 20, 2004
Agenda Item 3.D
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council '""'\ S
FROM: Murtuza Siddiqui, Finance Director/Treasurer
SUBJECT: CIP/Pavement Management 2005 - 2009
BACKGROUND:
At the July 19, 2004, September 20, 2004, and October 18, 2004 Work Session meetings, the
Council discussed the proposed CIP/Pavement Management projects for 2005 - 2009. A number
of issues were discussed at these meetings, including the merits of specific projects. At these .
meetings, staff also provided a cash flow analysis of under taking these projects and the impact it
has on various city funds. Two action items/outcomes resulted from the July's and September's
meetings.
One of the outcomes of these meetings was to conduct a Utility Rates Study. The city proceeded
to hire Abdo, Eick, and Meyers (consultant) to conduct the study. The study took a multi
pronged approach. First it reviewed the city's rate structure and compared it with a number of
surrounding communities of comparable size. The next approach was to determine the future
cash flow requirements in order to have adequate funds to support the undertaking of the
proposed projects, as well as maintaining a desirable fund balance in the enterprise (utility)
funds. A draft Utility Rate Study document was presented at the September 20,2004 Work
Session. The Council was not comfortable with the proposed rate structure and directed staff and
the consultant to revise the rate structure, using the most current CIP data. A final version of the
Utility Rate Study was presented at the October 18th Work Session. This version incorporated
the direction provided by the Council with regards to the CIP, as well as the suggested rate
changes.
The second outcome of these meetings was to review the feasibility of the future projects based
on the direction provided by the Council. The City staff has worked with the Greg Brown, City
Engineer (URS) to layout a proposed five year CIP plan, while taking into account the direction
provided by the Council.

DISCUSSION:
Staff is providing two sets of documents with this memorandum. The first set of documents is
the five year Proposed 2005 - 2009 CIP spreadsheet that summarizes the outlay by year and
capital project. This spreadsheet, labeled, "Proposed 2005 - 2009 Five Year Capital
Improvement Plan 10/11/04" provides a summary of all Construction Projects, Technology
Upgrades, Public Safety Equipment, Parks & Trails Improvements, and Operations and
Maintenance Equipment.
The second set of documents is a detailed listing of individual projects that describe the scope of
the project, including the rationale for undertaking it.
It should be noted that the projects outlined in the CIP have been incorporated into the Utility
Rate Study and as mentioned previously, any changes to the CIP have an impact on the fund
balances.
At the October 18, 2004, Work Session, the Council further reviewed and discussed the
Proposed 2005 - 2009 Capital Improvement Plan and directed staff to finalize the document.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Staff recommends that the Council adopt the proposed 2005 - 2009 Five Year Capital
Improvement Plan.

i PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
I Replace vehicle #13 and #2 with a larger and more powerful pick-up truck for hauling
! supplies and materials to the different job sites, The proposed replacement vehicles are
i two F-450 Ford pick-up trucks. City staff recommends that the City purchases two
! vehicles that have a super heavy duty front end suspension, Tommy Lift gates, and safety
I lights. In order to properly sell vehicles #13 and #2, they would be placed in an
, upcoming State of Minnesota auction, All proceeds from the sale of the two vehicles
I would be applied to the purchase price of the new vehicle. The anticipated revenue from
I auctioning the two trucks is roughly $6,000 to $9,000.
! Project Rationale:
I Both vehicles were originally scheduled for replacement in 2003, Staff moved the
I origiI?al rep~a:~ment date back m:o years to, 2005, Both vehicles are ~sed for snow
i plowmg actJV1tJes and are underSized for this type of work, Staffbeheves that a Ford F-
I 450 pick-up truck would be more effective in completing snow removal activities,
I Recently vehicle #13 has developed a gas tank leak and transmission problems. Vehicle
I #2 currently has an oil and antifreeze leak. Neither truck has been repaired at this time.
i Staff feels that the purchase ofFord F-450 pick-up trucks would improve the City's truck
! fleet life span by minimizing the wear and tear currently being experienced by F-250 and
! F-350 trucks, 'The purchase of two F-450 trucks would also provide O&M staff members
, with the necessary equipment to more efficiently complete routine maintenance
i activities. Both replacement trucks have had two front end replacements and are in need
! of other maintenance repairs.

r PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The Red Fox/Grey Fox/Dunlop area of Arden Hills is considered a commercial district.
In 2005, Red Fox and Grey Fox are scheduled to be milled and over-Iayed. The Dunlop
area is scheduled for a complete reconstruction, In addition water, storm water, and
sanitary sewer lines repairs will be necessary, City staff will televise the utility lines to
determine what is the extent of the repair work that needs to be done in this area,
"--' ----
Project Rationale:
The Red Fox/Grey Fox/Dunlop area has not been milled or overlayed since the road was
constructed in 1973. Since 1973, this area has only been seal coated once. Red Fox was
seal coated in 1993 and Dunlop in 1998, Grey Fox has not bcen seal coated since the
road was constructed. The current PCI rating is in the 60's, This rating was taken in
2001. O&M staff has televised the sanitary and storm water system and have found a
large 15 foot pipe that has collapsed in the Grey Fox neighborhood. The storm water
system is also in poor condition and needs to be improved.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The Karth Lake east neighborhood is currently not looped/tied in to another water
system, Due to the lack of a water main extension, this area does not have a back-up
water system that is capable of providing water in an emergency situation, In addition
part of the current water system is currently running underneath Karth Lake. Staff is
unable to repair a leak in the water line that runs underneath the lake.
Project Rationale:
. This project could be tied together with the Lexington Avenue reconstruction project
The construction company would have the capability to lay the new water pipe
underneath this project. Ramsey County would complete the earth work and then bury
the water pipes for the City. The City would save money on engineering and
construction costs for this project.

i Project Rationale:
i Ridgewood Road is the only street in this neighborhood that has been milled and
i overlayed during the last 16 years. The last seal coat project that was completed in this
I neighborhood was done in 1995. Siems Court and Ridgewood Road were seal coated
I that year,
i The City currently does not have a storm water management program for this area,
I Currently the City does not have a grit chamber to filter out the dirt and other particles
! before it enters Lake Johanna,
,
i The 2000 PCl ratings for Siems Court and Arden Place were two of the lower ratings for
i the City.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Replace the play stmcture at Valentine Park with an ADA approved structure, The play
structure will be designed for the 4 - 9 year old age group. It will match the existing
color pattern of the current play structures in the City. The play structure will also
include a new, improved wood chip base with a plastic wood base. In addition, the play
structure will be relocated to a different area in the park,
Project Rationale:
The play stmcture was installed in 1990. It is the last of the metal/wood structures in the
City and it does not meet code, It is rusting in many places and the wooden stmctures
are in poor shape, It was scheduled to be replaced in 2002, but was rescheduled for
2006.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Purchase a new all season trail maintenance/plowing vehicle which is called "a holder".
The holder is all wheel independent drive. It is capable of sweeping, plowing, hauling,
and cutting, trimming, and mowing all City trails, The vehicle has been field tested on
our trail sections.
Project Rationale:
The Arden Hills Trails Systems has some unique maintenance challenges associated with
it. Some trails are paved, other wood chipped. Trail widths vary, many steep hills, and
many of the trails run through woodlands, This vehicle will improve the safety of the
work environment for other staff, In addition, efficiency will improve because now there
will be one piece of equipment performing the job task that multiple pieces once did,

i stations, booster stations, and water towers. All lift station and booster stations are
i SCADA compatible and ready to go for installation. The SCADA will assist staff
I members by sending information to the City's computer system, A laptop computer will
I allow staff members to monitor the lift stations, booster stations, and water tower from a
i remote location.
r - -- ... -'.. ..
Project Rationale:
The SCADA system would cut down on the number of call outs during non-business
hours and eliminate the need to visually check the City's 14 lift stations and booster
I stations on a daily basis, This would be free up manpower for other city functions,
I The new SCADA system would allow the O&M staff to view level readings from a
computer. In addition corrections can be made to the pumps or equipment through the
SCADA computer system, thus saving staff members a trip to the site.

I Ashbury Avenue was milled and overlayed in 1995.
I Glendale Avenue was milled and overlay in 1989 and 1998.
I According to the City's records, no other streets in this neighborhood have been milled
and overlayed or seal coated since 1985, The City's existing storm water system is very
poor in this area and the sanitary and water lines were installed in the 1960's, City staff
will televise the utility lines to determine if any repair work is needed,

ip;;';~~t Rationale:
I The current PCI rating for the Glenhill neighborhood is 60~ 79%. In 2009, staff believes
'I' that the PCI ratings will decrease greatly due to the age of the infrastructure system. This
, project may be a candidate for reconstruction in 2009.

Planninl! Commissioners Q&A IPoints of Discussion
_ Following are some of the questions and answers from the Planning Commission meeting
('paraphrased not direct quotes):
.
.
Safety
Q: Does nitrogen gas pose a risk of explosion?
A: No the nitrogen gas is an inert gas and does not pose a risk of explosion (applicant)
Q: How do we ensure the storage tank/distillation tower will not be a safety hazard?
A: The Fire Marshal and Building Official have reviewed the proposal and determined
that the distillation tower did not pose a safety hazard, In addition the applicant will
be required to get building/mechanical permits for the installation of the nitrogen
generation system (staff)
Noise
Q: Even though the generator noise level is less than the ambient noise level, does the
cumulative impact of adding the generator noise to the ambient noise, raise the ambient noise
level?
A: Yes it does raise the ambient noise level but not significantly, approximately 1-3 dba
(applicant)
Q: What is a typical/average residential ambient noise level?
A: Approximately 55 dba in a metro area (applicant)
Q: Is the noise from the generator constant or does it cycle on and off?
A: The system would run constantly and the noise level would be consistent (applicant),
Aesthetics
Q: Why is the storage tank/distillation tower 50 feet in height, couldn't it be placed on its side or
a few smaller storage tanks used instead?
A: The contractor indicated that 50 foot height was necessary for the distillation process
and due to this being a high purity system (applicant)
Q: Has the applicant looked into sinking the storage tank/distillation tower into the ground to
lower the profile?
A: We had the contractor look into this but sinking the distillation tower presented some
maintenance issues [i.e, would need to have ability to access the lower part of the
distillation tower so would need to an area that would sit even lower for the workers
to access the distillation tower] so this was not favored by the contractor (applicant)
Resident Comments
There was no one that attended the Planning Commission meeting speaking in opposition to the
planning case, However, staff received a voice mail from Kay Stahley, 1551 Arden View Drive,
who stated she was opposed to the installation of the nitrogen generator and storage
tank/distillation tower.

Overview
\\Earth\PJanning\Planning Cases\20Q4\04-18 Guidant PUD Amendment Nitrogen Generator (PENDING)\10-20-04 PC Report Guidant PUD
Amendment for Nitrogen Generator.doc
Page 2 of6
The applicant has requested a Master Plan PUD (5th) Amendment to allow the installation of a
nitrogen generator and 50 foot tall (6 feet in diameter) nitrogen gas storage tank to the east of
Building B at the Guidant Corporation's campus located at 4100 Hamline Avenue, Currently
there are several storage tanks to the east of Guidant Building B which house the liquid nitrogen
that Guidant uses for research and development of their products, The liquid nitrogen is
frequently brought in by truck. Guidant has been interested in utilizing a nitrogen generator but
until recently believed that the nitrogen from a generator would not reach the necessary purity
level necessary. After discovering that the nitrogen generator unit could produce the necessary
purity level, Guidant approached staff to discuss what process would be necessary to install the
nitrogen generator and storage tank at the Guidant campus. Since the installation of the nitrogen
generator would be a change to the uses contemplated at the time the original Master Plan was
approved, a Master Plan PUD amendment and site plan would need to be approved for the
proposal to go forward,
Included in the information submitted by Guidant Corporation are plans, pictures of similar
generator units and storage tanks, pictures of the location for the proposed generator and tanks,
renderings of what the storage tank may look like viewed from a few angles, and a plan showing
the noise levels that may be expected from the generator. The plans show that at points north,
west, and south of Building B, the noise created by the generator would not reach the level of
ambient noise, even at 4 AM, The storage tank would rise 4 feet above the penthouse of
Building B and may be partially visible from the area west of Hamline Avenue, The areas south
and north of Building B should effectively screen the storage tank from view, The wooded area
to the north of Buildings A and B and distance to the homes to the north should provide effective
screening. The area to the south of Building B is more commercial in nature, screening to the
south should be provided by the wooded are along County Road F and by the recently
constructed Parking Ramp # I.
Plan Review
Following is staffs analysis of the proposal relative to applicable requirements,
1. Zoning - Meets Requirement
The Guidant campus is located in an I-I: Limited Industrial Zoning District and has a Master
Plan PUD Overlay which is the governing docmnent for the campus. The addition of a
nitrogen gas generator is not shown on the site plan for the Guidant Master Plan PUD nor is
it mentioned in the Guidant Master Plan PUD submittals, The Master Plan PUD Amendment
will ensure that the site plan is accurate and up to date.
2. Aesthetics - Meets requirement
This proposal would present a potential visual impact on residents along the west side of
Hamline Avenue and perhaps to the north of the Guidant Campus, The storage tank for the
nitrogen gas generator is proposed at 50 feet tall with a diameter of 6 feet. Staff has
discussed with Guidant the possibility of reducing the height ofthe tank but it appears that
\\Earth\Planning\Planning Cases\2Q04\04-18 Guidant PUD Amendment Nitrogen Generator (PENDING)\IO-20"()4 PC Report Guidant PUD
Amendment for Nitrogen Generator.doc
Page 3 of6
-
.
.
-
e
.
the height of the storage tank is necessary due to the distillation process ofthe nitrogen. The
applicant has stated that the storage tank would meet Guidant's current need plus leave room
for approximately 12% extra. This extra room should sustain Guidant's nitrogen need for the
near future. If additional tanks were necessary in the future staff would recommend keeping
the height at 50 feet or less instead of adding a taller tank.
It appears that sightlines to the nitrogen storage tank should be partially or completely
obscured in most locations, Some ofthe locations are obscured behind the penthouses of
Buildings A, B, and C. Other locations are not obscured by the penthouses but do have
wooded areas which should provide some screening, mostly seasonal. In addition, the
nitrogen storage tank would be more than 700 feet from any residence. Due to the distance
and screening, most properties would not have a clear view ofthe proposed nitrogen storage
tank. However, the top 8-20 feet may be partially visible from some locations,
The buildings along the west side of the Guidant Campus are: Building A - 43 feet main
roof{l023 Above Sea Level), 57 feet penthouse (1037 ASL); Building B - 28feet main
roof (1 008 ASL), 42feet penthouse (1022 ASL); Building C - 28feet main roof{1008
ASL), 42 feet penthouse (1022 ASL).
3. Noise - Meets requirement
Guidant Corporation had a noise test performed to determine the noise level produced by the
nitrogen generator in comparison to the noise at three points to the North (location A), West
(location B), and South (location C) of the Guidant Campus. The noise test concluded that
noise levels produced by the proposed system should not exceed 46 dba. In comparison the
noise levels at locations A, B, and C would not be less than 56 dba (tested at 4:30 AM) when
the area should be at its quietest levels, Based on the conclusions of this test staff is
comfortable that the nitrogen generator should not have any noise impact on the surrounding
residential area,
4. Parking - Meets requirement
Currently the area where the nitrogen generator, vaporizers, and storage tank are proposed is
occupied by an impervious surface which houses motorcycle parking and approximately 5
cars wcre also parked there (not designated on Master Plan as parking stalls). It appears that
there should continue to be adequate parking through the two surface lots directly north and
south of this site and also the newly completed parking structure located to the southwest of
this site,
5. Traffic, Access, and Circulation - Meets requirement
The impact on traffic, access, and circulation to the site may be noticed both internally to the
campus and to the broader community. Internally, the proposed equipment would be out of
the traffic flow lanes and should not have a negative impact on the internal traffic flow, In
addition, the reduction of trucks delivering liquid nitrogen also eliminates much of the
\\EarthIPlanning\Planning Cases.\2004\04-18 Guidant PUD Amendment Nitrogen Generator (PENDING)\lO-20-04 PC Report Guidant PUD
Amendment for Nitrogen Generator.doc
Page 4 of6
possibility of the delivery trucks having to interact with passenger vehicles.
The impact on the broader community would be the reduction of truck trips. Currently liquid
nitrogen is brought in by truck every day to day and a half. The nitrogen generator would
allow Guidant Corporation to produce nitrogen on-site and therefore decreases the need for
delivery trucks. The liquid nitrogen tanks and vaporizers would remain and would serve
primarily as a backup system for the nitrogen generator, Assuming that the nitrogen
generator is not out of service for any stretch, the generator could allow for as few as one
truck trip per month for the liquid nitrogen, This potential reduction in several hundred truck
trips per year would serve as a benefit to Arden Hills and the regional road system as well.
6. Grading and Utilities - Meets Requirement
The City Engineer has reviewed the plans provided by the applicant and did not believe that
the proposed nitrogen generator and storage tank would impact the City of Arden Hills'
utilities or infrastructure,
7. Plan Review Comments
A. Building Permit Plans shall be submitted to the Building Official a minimum of two (2)
weeks before the planned start of construction,
B. No construction shall begin before plans are approved by the City of Arden Hills'
Building Official.
C. Adequate safety bollards andlor fencing should be used separate the vehicle and
pedestrian traffic from the generator, vaporizers, and storage tank (i.e, safety bollards to
prevent a vehicle from damaging the vaporizers or storage tank),
D, Any company names, logos, or other attention getting devices on the nitrogen generator
storage tank shall face the internal portion of the site and/or be located below the main
rooflines of buildings Band C,
Staff Recommendation
In Planning Case #04-18 staff recommends approval of the Planned Unit Development Master
Plan (Fifth) Amendment and Site Plan Review subject to the following conditions:
I, The applicant shall continue to abide by the conditions of approval as stated in the
approved Master Plan PUD except as amended by tbe four subsequent amendments.
2. A PUD Amendment form, drafted by the City Attorney, shall amend the PUD and
encompass all five amendments to the Master Plan PUD. Such PUD Amendment form
shall reference the proposed revision to the Site Plan from Planning Case #04-18,
Building permits may only be issued after the PUD Amendment document receives the
approval of the City Council and is executed by both the City Council and the applicant.

CITY OFAADEN HIllS
RE: Partial Settlement
Rochon Construction
Pete's Water and Sewer, Inc.
Our File No.: 10450,97-3
Dear Michelle:
As you know, part of the City's claim against Rochon involves damages to the traffic signal
located at the intersection of Highway 96 and Hamline Avenue. The damages were caused
by one of Rochon's subcontractors. I n order to correct the problem, the City incurred expenses
of $11,250.00, .
The insurance carrier for the subcontractor has offered to reimburse the City in return for a
partial release of claims. I am enclosing a proposed Settlement Agreernent and Partial
Release. I recommend that the City accept the offer and authorize the Mayor to sign the
agreernent.
If this offer is accepted, the City will reduce its clairn against Rochon by this amount and
proceed with the remaining claims in the arbitration proceeding.
If you have any questions, please contact me.
VeryJfuly yours,

SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AND PARTIAL RELEASE
I.
RELEASE:
PARTIES TO THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AND PARTIAL
ll1is Settlement Agreement and Partial Release is entered into by and between the City of
Arden Hills ("the City"), Pete's Water and Sewer, Inc, ("Pete's") and General Casualty Company
of Wisconsin ("General Casualty").
2. RECITALS:
WHEREAS, the City has made claim against Rochon Corporation ("Rochon") for damages
arising out of the construction of a new City Hall; and
WHEREAS, as part of the City's contract with Rochon, Rochon subcontracted underground
utility work to Pete's; and
WHEREAS, the City has asserted a claim against Rochon for work performed by Pete's,
in the AAA Arbitration; and
WHEREAS, the City retained Collins Electrical Systems for signal loop repairs alleged to
have pertained to Pete's work pursuant to subcontract for traffic signal loops at Highway 96 and
Hamline A venue, in Arden Hills; and
WHEREAS, Rochon has tendered its defense to Pete's and General Casualty, which has
been rejected by them; and
WHEREAS, Pete's and General Casualty deny any obligation to defend and/or indemnify
Rochon because Pete's alleges and claims it did not "damage" any property of the City in its work
as a subcontractor of Rochon; and
..
.,
WHEREAS, Pete's and General Casualty contend, however, that almost all of the damages
sought by the City in the AAA Arbitration are those associated with the work of Rochon, and/or
other subcontractors; and

FROM:
SUBJECT:
Planning Case #01-05
Extension for Master Plan POD - NE Quadrant/Interstate Crossing
Chesapeake Companies
NE Quadrant ofI-694 and 1-35W
Requested Action
The applicant has requested a one-year extension for the Master Plan POD.
(The Zoning Ordinance states that "within six months after obtaining Master Plan approval, or
within such extended period aftime as the council has agreed to" [See, 5N6aJ, the applicant
shall submit a Final Plan PUD).
Backl!rlmnd
.
At their meeting on March 26,2001 the Arden Hills City Council approved a Master Plan POD
for Chesapeake Companies subject to 13 conditions. Condition 13 states that "Due to the time
requirements of land acquisition and securing major tenants, the time requirement for the final
plan to be submitted no more than six months after the date of City Council's approval of the
Master POD be changed to eighteen months for this proposa1." It is clear that the Council at that
time recognized that this project would not be ready for development within the standard POD
framework. Subsequent to this approval the office market fell to its lowest level in years and has
not since fully rebounded, Chesapeake came back to the Council on two other occasions for
extensions to their POD,
The major issues that surrounded this project in the past appear to be approaching resolution,
Chesapeake has a signed purchase agreement with the owners of the ATS Steel property and has
also signed a purchase agreement with MT Properties who owns the old railroad spur. These
two accomplishments have all but assembled the property to the configuration which had been
proposed in the Master Plan POD. The property assemblage problem appearing solved,
Chesapeake has been working with Northstar Partners to market the property to potential tenants,
Marketing activities include executive marketing letters, monthly broadcast e-mails, marketing
material preparations, and even sponsoring a hole at a MNCAR golftoumament. However, even
Page 10[4

\\Earth\Planning\Planning Cases\2001\OI ~05 Chesapeake\IO-25-04 CC Report 1 Year Extcnsion.doc
e
.
with all the marketing activities, the office market has been slow to improve, Peter Carlson of
Chesapeake states in his letter that the extension of their Master Plan POO would allow them to
be more successful in promoting the sites to major tenants who tend to be very risk averse,
It is important to recognize that the Chesapeake Master Plan POO would potentially include up
to two eight story office buildings, This sort of development is more consistent with what you
typically see at major interstate junctions than the underlying Gateway Business Zoning would
otherwise produce. The Gateway Business Zoning District appears to be geared toward
office/warehousing users and most likely did not adequately plan for the future potential of the
Northeast Quadrant property. Granting an extension to the Chesapeake Master Plan PUD not
only gives Chesapeake certainty, it gives the City of Arden Hills certainty that a high caliber
development would be built on the property within the parameters established through the POO,
While it seems advantageous to grant the extension to the Master Plan POO, it would also be in
the City's best interest to reserve the right for an updated traffic study, EA W, or other
supplementary documents as necessary at the time of application for the Final Plan POO, If
there are additional development regulations that change significantly between now and the time
of application for the Final Plan POO, the City should also reserve the right to have Chesapeake
comply with those regulations, Staff has included this language as a condition of approval.
Staff Recommendation
Staffrecommends approval ofthe requested one-year extension (to allow Chesapeake
Companies to submit a Final Plan PUD no later than September 25, 2005) subject to the
applicant continuing to abide by the 13 existing conditions of approval and adding a 14th
condition of approval. The conditions of approval would read as follows:

Mr. Peter Hellegers
Octobcr 4, 2004

Our stratcgy is to continue to aggressively pursue quality companies when they come to the
market.
With the market slowly improving, larger companies are starting to plan for consolidations and
new facilities. As they do, we believe they will be hotly pursued by all viable landowners and
City's. For this reason, it is important that we have as few barriers or obstacles as possible to
secure a quality tenant.
By having our approvals/zoning in place, 1) zoning tbat allows 100% office users and
multi-story office buildings; 2) we eliminate a significant uncertainty in tbe analysis from
tbe prospective company. In light of the current economy, most corporate executives are very
risk adverse, They do not want to spend time or money pursuing a site that has any uncertainty
or risk. Therefore, they frequently reject sites if they pose any risk of not closing.
If vou approve our PUD extension, it puts our site and efforts to secure a tenant at an
enbanced position in a competitive marketplace. Some of the other landowners, developers,
and City's do not have these advantages and will have to overcome the issues of uncertainty of
City approvals, excessive time to achieve approvals, and additional expense that we have
proactively achieved.
We invested a lot of time and money to make our site as marketable as possible to potential
users. All of the essential issues have been completed such as wetland delineation, civil
engincering, survey, topos, environmental, EA W, and Master PUD.
We hope you continue to support our efforts to develop this property into a high quality campus
that we can all be proud of. Extension ofthe POO approval places Interstate Crossing in an ideal
situation to capture business growth opportunities as soon as possible in a manner that advances
the specific policies and goals stated in the City's comprehensive plan.
Sincerely,
CMK ARDEN HOLDINGS

A. Plannifll! Case No. 01-05: Chesapeake Master Plan PUD Extension
Mr. Parrish stated the applicant was requesting an extension of the previously
approved Master Plan PUD. He indicated staff had sent a letter to ATS Steel
representatives infonning them of the extension request. He noted the City
Attorney indicated there were no significant legal implications if the extension
were to be granted again. He stated, however, the applicant was requesting a 24-
month extension, but since the City's development regulations could change over
a 2-year period, staff would suggest a l2-month extension instead. He noted the
owners of ATS Steel were objecting to the l2-month extension.
Councilmember Grant asked why staff was recollll11ending 12 months instead of e
24 months,
Mr. Parrish replied in the event development regulations were changed, staff
believed two years was too long of a period to have this reevaluation.
Mr. Filla stated good faith negotiations between the two parties should not be an
issue for the Council to consider, He indicated these negotiations were private and
did not involve the City.
Daniel Beeson, representative for Peggy and Mark McKee, stated Mrs. McKee
has been actively engaged in marketing the property for its fair market value since
fall 2000, He stated his clients were adamantly opposed to the extension of the
PUD as it related to their property. He noted this developer had two and one-half
years to develop this property, which they have not done. He stated condition
number 14, required the acquisition of the McKee parcel and he did not believe
Chesapeake had negotiated in good faith. He stated the condition did not give any
incentive for Chesapeake to negotiate in good faith, and he noted his clients had
been harmed by this condition. He asked the Council to deny the extension, a
exclude the McKee property, or start a condemnation proceeding. He stated Mrs, .,

McKee was unable to market this property in the market place with this "cloud"
over the property.
Councilmember Rem joined the meeting at 7:18 p.m.
Councilmember Larson stated if Chesapeake had a major tenant, he believed
Mrs. McKee would have a major advantage for negotiations. He noted he was not
convinced by the argument that the Council needed to do something.
Mr. Beeson replied the playing field was not level at this time and the concern
was not with the City Council, but the Council had given Chesapeake an unusual
leverage. He again asked the Council to exclude his client's property so they
could market it on the open market.
Mayor Aplikowski asked what would happen if they did not grant the extension.
Mr. Parrish replied Chesapeake could have to go through the process again. He
noted Chesapeake would like the extension, so when they had a tenant, they would
be ready to proceed, He stated in the past, the Council had no interest in a
condemnation process. He noted this property was a legal non-conforming to date
and it could be used as a manufacturing warehouse facility, but they could not
expand. He indicated Mrs. McKee was not obligated to sell to Chesapeake. He
noted Mrs, McKee could sell the property and let the new owner negotiate with
Chesapeake if they wanted.
Mayor Aplikowski asked how they could "carve out" this property,
Mr. Filla replied they would have to conduct a public hearing to amend the plan.
Councilmember Grant stated he did not believe it would make sense to exclude
this property from ofthe PUD,
Peter Carlson, Chesapeake Companies, stated they were attracted to this parcel
because it was in a redevelopment district. He stated the request for the PUD did
not affect ATS property, He noted ATS was a non-conforming use under the
Gateway Business District. He stated the PUD did not change ATS' ability to
market the property, He noted the limiting factor was the non-conforming use and
the PUD was not the inhibitor to a sale. He stated they did not change the legal

status of ATS' property, He stated the Master PUD Plan was a good step for them
to pursue and it is a good compromise between the developer and the City, He
stated they had attempted to purchase the A TS property since fall 2000 and he
believed they had negotiated in good faith, He indicated he did not believe they
were that far apart in the purchase price and valuations, but they could not pay a
premium for this property. He noted they had no animosity with ATS and wanted
to sit down and discuss an offer.
Councilmember Larson asked if there was a reasonable period of time in which
the City could say they had given Chesapeake. He noted the City's interest was to
see this land developed,
Mr. Carlson replied Chesapeake was the owner of the property and the market at
this time was not good for development. He indicated they could hold onto the
property for many years until the market turned around.
Council member Grant asked if A TS Steel were to get a buyer and close on the
deal, if he understood Chesapeake would need to start negotiations all over again .
with the new buyer.
Mr. Carlson replied they understood this, but if Mrs. McKee were asking too
much for this property, they would simply develop their parcel and leave the A TS
Steel parcel as a non-conforming use,
Councilmember Grant asked if Chesapeake would oppose a condemnation
property,
Mr. Filla replied condemnation was not part of the City's plan at this time, and if
Chesapeake wanted to develop the area, they would need to acquire the A TS
property and the City was not in the position to mediate the sale of this property.
He noted there was no cloud on the property and A TS could continue to use the
property under the City's zoning regulations. He stated the City had made it very
clear that the sale of this property had to occur in the private sector and no
condemnation had been talked about.
Councilmember Grant stated it was not his intent to have the City condemn the
property,

3. Chesapeake Master Plan PUD Extension
Mr. Parrish explained in March, 200 I, the Council had approved a Master Plan
Planned Unit Development for Chesapeake Companies, He stated since the
eighteen months timeline for submitting a final plan would lapse in the near future,
the applicant was requesting a twelve-month extension of the Master Plan PUD .
approval. He noted A.T.S. Steel, Inc. and HPMK, LLC were opposed to any
extension for reasons as noted in their attorney's letter dated September 4,2002,
Mr. Filla stated he had read the correspondence from A,T.S. Steel, Inc. and HPMK
LLC's attorney, He indicated there were some recent Minnesota and National
cases that dealt with matters such as this, and most of those cases involved cities
entering into development agreements, which indicated the cities would exercise
their power of eminent domain. In his judgment, the facts in this case did not rise
to that level. He stated the Minnesota courts probably would not accept those
arguments at this time, considering the facts it had before them. He stated the City
at no time indicated it would exercise its eminent domain or interfere with A.T,S.
Steel, Inc.'s property. In conclusion he stated the City had the authority to extend
and if they chose to do that, the City Code gave them that power.
Daniel Beeson, Attorney representing A.T.S. Steel, Inc. and HPMK, LLC,
stated his clients were adamantly opposed to any extension of the 18-month
deadline for the Chesapeake development proposal. He indicated his clients were
opposed to this because there had been absolutely no attempt on behalf of
Chesapeake over the past year to acquire the property. He stated his clients had .
owned their property for 20 years, and had successfully operated their business
from the building, He stated his clients had not opposed the Master Plan PUD or

.
the original 18-month extension because they believed Chesapeake was intending
to negotiate, and intended to acquire this property. He stated his clients believed
18 months was reasonable, but there had been no due diligence in proceeding on
this or acquiring the property, and Chesapeake has had no communication with his
clients for the past year. He stated his clients had listed the property for $300,000
below the market rate from two years ago. He noted nobody was interested in
purchasing this property for market value as long as there was a cloud of
redevelopment. He stated his clients wanted to be released from this cloud of
redevelopment so they could market their property. In the alternative, he suggested
they extend the Master Plan PUD approval for as minimal time as possible, and to
require Chesapeake to negotiate with due diligence, However, he respectfully
requested that the extension be denied. He noted their appraiser had indicated it
was very unlikely that anyone who had an interest in this property was going to
buy it and then move their business operation into it knowing that at anytime they
could be forced out because of a possible redevelopment. He stated this
significantly affected what interest there was in the marketplace. He asked the City
hold Chesapeake to a standard of good faith and due diligence. He stated A.T.S,
Steel, Inc. had communicated directly with Mr. Carlson, but there had been no
willingness on Chesapeake's part to engage in negotiations, and the previous
Chesapeake offer had been withdrawn.
.
Peter Carlson, Chesapeake Companies and CUK Holdings, updated Council
on what had happened since they had granted the PUD, He stated they were not
able to start marketing the property until after the closing with Morris
Communications on December 31, 2001. He indicated it took approximately one
month after that to start the marketing of the property. He indicated they have had
seven full months to market the property, and they had spent a substantial amount
of money to market it and finalize different analysis from civil engineering,
surveys, etc, He indicated they had been pleased with the response, but with the
economics of the nation at this time, the market had gotten worse from when they
first started this process, He stated they were right now talking with a national
company and were hopeful these negotiations would work out. In response to
A.T.S. Steel, Inc, comments, he believed Chesapeake had attempted to negotiate
with A.T.S, Steel, Inc, on this. He stated they could not pay a premium however as
this would ruin the viability of their project. He stated their first offer had been
rejected. He indicated when he had met in August with Mr. Beeson and A.T.S,
Steel, Inc. they had an asking price of 3.4 million. He indicated Chesapeake was
trying to be reasonable, but could not afford $88.00 per square foot, so they turned

that offer down, He indicated the next proposal was 2.6 million and Chesapeake
pay V. of the real estate taxes in 2002, He noted, this again, was approximately
$66,00 per square foot and after touring the building, they had to turn that offer
down also because they did not believe the property was worth that much. He
stated they had told AT,S. Steel, Inc, that they could not pay the $2,6 million, but
they would not interfere if A.T.S. Steel, Inc. chose to market or lease the property,
He stated he had learned a month ago that AT.S. Steel, Inc. was marketing the
property for 2.0 million. He stated once they found that out, they had been
attempting to contact AT.S. Steel, Inc. because this was a range they felt was
more reasonable for this property. He stated they had never refused to meet or talk
with AT.S. Steel, Inc. or their attorney. He indicated he believed they could still
work something out that would work for both parties. He stated their interest was
to do the best thing for both AT.S. Steel, Inc. and Chesapeake Properties. He
stated he hoped to have this ready in 12 months, but there was a possibility he
might need to come back to the Council in 12 months and request another
extension. He indicated it took a lot of time to work out this type of a development
with a large company, He indicated an extension of their PUD was separate from .
their negotiations with AT.S. Steel, Inc,
Council Member Aplikowski indicated she was struggling with the request for the
12-month extension.
Mayor Probst noted it was not the Council's job to negotiate a selling price
between the buyer and seller and it appeared both the buyer and the seller were at
least willing to sit down and negotiate the sale of this property. He indicated it was
in the City's best interest to extend the time and urged the Council to approve this,
Council Member Grant asked if they had the authority to extend this extension
past the 12 months, if necessary, Mr. Filla replied the Council had this authority
and noted this was not a City redevelopment project, and it was not a project the
City had agreed to exercise its powers on and beyond that, the City had the
authority to do what was in the City's best interest.
MOTION: Council Member Grant moved and Council Member Larson seconded
a motion to approve the twelve-month extension of the Chesapeake
Master Plan Planned Unit Development. The motion carried (4-1) .
(Council Member Aplikowski).

MEMORANDUM
DATE: October 20, 2004
TO: Mayor and City Council
Michelle Wolfe, City Administrator
FROM: Scott Clark, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Interim Agreement Amendment
Proposal
Attached is the proposed "Interim Agreement Amendment No. I-Extension of Term" as
discussed at the Council meetings on October 12th and the 18th. The current TCAAP Agreement
between CRR, Inc. and the City expires on November 8, 2004 and since more time is needed to
resolve various issues, e,g. a City policy position on economic development assistance, a six
month extension was viewed as the best mechanism to continue the current development team
contractual relationship, A key premise of the Agreement is the City working on an economic
development assistance policy with an understanding that some type of policy position will be
arrived at before the Extension's termination date in May.
Extension of Term
Thc key components ofthe Extension of Term are as follows:
1) The Agreement runs for six months and terminates on May 9, 2005.
2) The City will dircct its Economic Development Commission to determine if the
development of the TCAAP site requires economic development assistance and how, if
given this assistance, would impact the City as a whole,
3) The Developer will contribute up to an additional $48,000 in escrows as prescribed in
Section 3,0 B.
4) Phase 3 Planning will be completed as part of the aforementioned escrow,
Interim Agreement Extension
October 20, 2004
Page 2 of2
e
5) The Developer will provide build-out estimates to assist in determining potential ranges
of assistance,
6) The key change from the original Agreement is Section 3.0 F. Under the new terms CRR,
Inc, will recover all escrow amounts (except for the $ 50,000 paid for staff time) if the
City brings in a new developer within a three year period of time. This total dollar figure
is approximately $ 350,000, which includes the new $48,000 described in item "3".
Under the old Agreement the termination of the Agreement, by simple expiration, would
not trigger this type of reimbursement. From a City perspective, there has been a great
deal of value from the actions taken to date including the planning process and a
preliminary framework Plan, maintaining a slow but increasing public recognition that
the TCAAP project is real and moving all ofthe decision makers closer to various
negotiation points. The City could request that any new developer would have to pay an
"entry fee" of $350,000 so the City would not have to absorb any reimbursement cost.
Another policy consideration is whether the $350,000 would preclude another developer
from bidding on a future request for proposal if the current extension terminates in May
and is not extended in some fashion, This dollar amount represents less than two cents
per square foot of cost based on the acquisition of 600 acres so the reimbursement should
not be an issue, The key question for any new developer will be the assurance that the .
project can happen.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval ofthe Extension of Term as written. Without this Extension the
existing Agreement will terminate on November 8, 2004 and the City will possibly have to 1)
Restart the entire development process and 2) Any future costs to move this project along would
have to be absorbed by the City,

'Dd" L"''''<~
2.0 Recitals, ~
A. WHEREAS, the Twin City Army Ammunition Plant ("TCAAP Site") is
located in Ramsey County and within the corporate boundaries of the City;
8, WHEREAS, a re-utilization plan for the TCAAP Site has been prepared;
generally illustrates a major area of continuing control and use by the
Minnesota Army National Guard, an area for open space and recreational
use, and an area for residential and commercial use; and is commonly
known as the "Vento Reuse Plan" which is attached hereto as Exhibit A;
c.
WHEREAS, the U.S, Department of the Army bas determined that
approximately 774 acres (the "Excess Area") of the TCAAP Site are no
longer necessary for V,S, Army purposes, and has reported to the General
Services Administration ("GSA") that the Excess Area is available for
distribution;
D. WHEREAS, at the present time, the City anticipates that 661 acres of the
Excess Area will be conveyed to the City ("AH Reuse Area"), and that 113
acres of the Excess Area will be conveyed directly to Ramsey County
("Rice Creek Corridor Area"), as generally illustrated on Exhibit B
attached hereto;
E, WHEREAS, the parties are aware that the V.S, Postal Service ("Post
Office") and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources ("DNR")
have expressed an interest in specific portions of the AH Reuse Area;
F. WHEREAS, the potential Post Office and DNR sites should be integrated
with other uses within the AH Reuse Area pursuant to a land use plan and
an infrastructure plan so that property values can be maintained and/or
enhanced and so tbat any areas devoted to such Post Office or DNR use
will be developed in a manner that is compatible with other uses in the AH
Reuse Area;
G.
WHEREAS, the parties agree that those areas of the TCAAP Site which
are under the control of the Minnesota Army National Guard, and which
are illustrated as potential development areas on the Vento Reuse Plan
should be taken into consideration when adopting a land use plan and an
infrastructure plan for the AH Reuse Area, even though the Minnesota
Army National Guard will continue to use and control such areas fOr an
indefinite period of time;
e
H. WHEREAS, the parties agree that the AH Reuse Area will be developed
pursuant to the Vento Reuse Plan, but acknowledge that the Vento Reuse
Plan is a broad framework for development which may need to be refined
when the environmental remediation analysis for the AH Reuse Area is
completed;
1. WHEREAS, the City has selected the Developer to be the Master
Developer for the redevelopment of the AH Reuse Area subject to the terms
and conditions of a Disposition and Development Agreement ("DDA");
J.
WHEREAS, Developer, at its sole cost and expense, has agreed to assist

undertake an extensive environmental analysis of the AH Reuse Area in
order to determine if it is economically feasible to proceed with
environmental remediation and redevelopment; and
.
K. WHEREAS, the parties wish to enter into an Interim Agreement which
describes the obligations of the parties relating to the transfer of the AH
Reuse Area, the environmental survey and analysis of the AH Reuse Area,
the preparation of a DDA which would become effective upon transfer of
the AH Reuse Area to the City and the preparation of an Amendment to the
City's Comprehensive Land Use Plan and official controls for the TCAAP
Site ("Comprebensive Plan Amendment").
NOW, THEREFORE, in reliance upon and in consideration of the mutual undertakings
herein expressed, City and Developer agree to the following terms and conditions:
3.0 Guidin!!: Principles. The parties acknowledge that the transfer of the AH Reuse
Area; the environmental survey of the AH Reuse Area; the preparation of a land
use and infrastructure plan; and the negotiation of the DDA will be a complex and
expensive undertaking which will require the cooperation of the parties and the
