Subject: CSAH 96 Landscaping Improvements
Background
The Council directed staff to develop concepts and cost estimates for potential landscaping
improvements along CSAH 96 in addition to the proposed County Scope. Kathy Ryan has
prepared two alternatives for Council consideration and comments. The following is a brief
description of the alternatives, including plant materials, cost and maintenance issues.
Renderings of the alternatives are attached to the memo. Kathy will be present at the meeting
Monday to discuss the concepts and provide renderings of the entire corridor.
Landscaping Concept Discussion
URS has prepared two alternative landscape plans and cost estimates for Highway 96. The plan
for boulevard trees is the sarne for both alternatives. Green Ash, White Ash, Red Oak and
Swamp White Oak trees are proposed in alternating groupings of three and four. These
groupings will alternate from north to south and provide a continuous rhythm along the highway
without imposing a rigid order that would accentuate missing trees. The number of trees is
similar in both alternatives, and the bulk of the cost would be taken care of by Rarnsey County.
,
The color graphics included portray two alternative median planting schemes. Each scheme
shows planting group A and planting group B. These two groups represent the different median
configurations at the intersections. The numbers of each group for each alternative are listed on
the graphics.
Alternative I consists of plantings that are linear in character and spread evenly along the
corridor. This cxplains the higher number of plant groupings in alternative 1. The preliminary
cost estimate for Alternative I includes approximately $115,000 in County costs and $190,000 in
City costs for a total project cost of $305,000. Thc cost of Alternative] could be reduced by
eliminating three or four of the planting bcds along the corridor keeping only the planting areas
near the intersections.

January 19, 2005

.
Alternative 2 relies on a higher visual impact at the intersections with a group of three larger
perennial planting areas on each side of the intersection. The preliminary cost estimate for
Alternative 2 includes approximately $115,000 in County costs and $170,000 in City costs for a
total project cost of $285,000.
Both alternatives include additional trees in the boulevard (above the County plan). These trees
would be more ornarnental in nature, such as Honeylocust or Serviceberry.
Annual maintenance costs for both alternatives are estimated in the $30,000 range. This cost is
based on a fairly high level of maintenance including the following activities:
Spring clean up and mulch top dressing
Weeding
Trash removal
Weed control
Fall clean up
Shrub shearing and seasonal pruning
Fertilizing, insect and disease control
The estimated project costs (or maintenance costs) listed above do not include an irrigation
system. The plant species selected do not require irrigation however, some watering may be .
necessary during the initial establishment period and during periods of drought. An irrigation
system would be similar in scope for both altematives and is estimated to cost approximately
$200,000.
Funding
No source of funding has been identified for thc proposed improvements (above the County plan)
however, a portion of the City's cost could be funded with state aid dollars (assuming there is
available balance in the City's account). Other potential funding sources include the General
Fund, PIR Fund and the Non-Assessable Street Fund.

Arden Hills City Engineer
Date: January 19, 2005
Subject: County Road E Pedestrian Sidewalk Improvements
Background
The Council directed staff to look into improving the pedestrian crossing and sidewalk options
along County Road E between Connelly Avenue and Old Highway 10. A number of concepts
have been discussed at neighborhood informational meetings aIJd Council meetings over the past
12 months. On October 12, 2004 Council passed Resolution 04-56 requesting Mn/DOT
consideration of a cost sharing cooperative agreement for pedestrian improvements to the County
Road E bridge over Trunk Highway 51. The City Engineer subsequently submitted a request to
MnDOT to be considered for the 2006 cooperative agreement funding cycle. The Council passed
a resolution at the November 29, 2004 meeting approving the sidewalk for the north side of
County Road E from Old Highway 10 to Connelly A venue. The City Engineer received verbal
notification from MnDOT earlier this week that the County Road E project was reviewed along
with 35 other projects and ranked 14th in priority for funding. A total of 10 projects are currently
funded with the next four being considered as alternates for funding if one or more of the top ten
are not completed. MnDOT staff indicated that based upon past history of the cooperative
agreements prograrn, funding of tbe County Road E sidewalk project is unlikely in this cycle.
Current Situation
The following is a compilation of options available to the council at this time:
A) Proceed with north sidewalk along bridge to Old Highway lOusing State Aid funds for
construction ($350,000) and local funds for engincering/inspection ($115,000).
Construction in late 2005.
B)
Proceed with north sidewalk along bridge only using State Aid funds for construction
($200,000) and local funds for engineering/inspection ($66,000). Construction in late
2005.
C)
Wait and see if other projects drop out of program allowing our project to be partially
funded by MnDOT. Reapply for next year's program - Construction in 2006
County Road E Pedestrian Sidewalk Improvemcnts
January 19, 2005
Page 2
.
D) Proceed with south sidewalk along bridge to Old Highway 10 using State Aid funds for
construction ($190,000) and local funds for engineering/inspection ($60,000).
Construction in late 2005. This option will require a new resolution by Council.
E) Proceed with south sidewalk along bridge only using State Aid funds for construction
($130,000) and local funds for engineering/inspection ($40,000). Construction in late
2005. This option will require a new resolution by Council.
Funding Discussion
The current State Aid balance is approximately $425,000 however, the 2005 PMP project is
progranmJed to tap into State Aid funds ($175,000 in CIP) as well as the Ramsey County
Lexington Avenue project ($185,000 in CIP). The final arnount of State Aid funding allocated
for the 2005 PMP will depend upon decisions made by the Council regarding project scope. The
actual amount of state aid funds needed for Lexington Avenue will depend upon the cost of
property acquisition underway by Rarnsey County; although, the Council's past decision to
construct a sidewalk in lieu of an 8 foot trail should reduce the ROW acquisition costs
significantly compared to the budget cost in the CIP.
Schedule Discussion
As noted above, in order to complete construction in 2005, the Council will need to authorize .
staff and the Engineer to proceed with design within the next 2-3 weeks.
. Final Design Period - February - April 2005
. Bid Opening - June, 2005
. Begin Construction - August, 2005
. Complete Construction - October, 2005
Public Involvement
URS has been contacting all of the residents along the northside of County Road E and will be
able to provide Council with an update on feedback from residents at the worksession.

FROM: Thomas J. Moore; Director of Operations & Maintenance
SUBJECT: Trail Dedication for Arden Hills Resident and Former Governor,
Mr. Elmer Anderson
.
BACKGROUND
At the December 14, 2004 PTRC meeting, the committee members reviewed different options on
how the City could honor and memorialize Arden Hills resident and former Governor, Mr. Elmer
Anderson. The different options reviewed were the renaming of a City park, a street or naming
of a trail section. Thus, you could have Elmer Anderson Park, Elmer Anderson Avenue or the
Elmer Anderson Trail. After some discussion, the PTRC thought that the trail option might be
the best alternative. The renaming of a park or city street may have some legal as well as
community sensitivity issues, whereas currently the trails are not designated by name. The
naming of a trail segment after a prominent and historically significant resident may present
some positive benefits. Those benefits might be community awareness and recognition of 'our'
past, community pride, and financial contributions/grants for the trail system.
The PTRC, having reviewed the entire trail system, has selected a segment of trail that they
thought would be appropriate to honor and memorialize Mr. Elmer Anderson. That trail segment
is located in the southwest quadrant of the City and runs from Glenpaul A venue and Cleveland
Avenue to West County Road E and Indian Place. The PTRC, on a 4-0 vote, recommended that
the City Council consider naming that trail segment the Elmer Anderson Trail.
REOUESTED COUNCIL ACTION
Staff is requesting direction on the process. Possible options could be:
1. Do not name the recommended trail segment after Mr. Elmer Anderson.
2. Ask the PTRC to recommend a different trail segment.
3. Ask the PTRC to recommend a different option, i. e. a City park.
4. Form a task force, made up of residents, to study possible options on how to honor Mr.
Elmer Anderson.
5. Accept the recommendations of the PTRC.

Agenda Item 2.E
TO: Mayor and Council
Michelle Wolfe, City Administrator
FROM: Thomas J. Moore; Director of Operations & Maintenance
SUBJECT: Installation of Energy Saving Traffic Signal LED Lights.
.
BACKGROUND
The Ramsey County Public Works Department has approached the 0 & M Department about the
possibility of a 2005 joint work project. The project would entail the replacement and upgrade of
the traffic signal LED lights within the City of Arden Hills. The City would purchase the
replacement LED lights and Ramsey County would provide the equipment and labor. The
intersections that are being considered are; County Road E/Cohnelly, County Road ElPine Tree
Drive, Hwy 96lHamline, Highway 96/Round Lake Road and Lexington/County Road F. This is
not a mandated replacement program and the current traffic lights are in working condition.
COST
The cost of the project before XceJ Energy rebates is $9,632.00. Xcel Energy is providing a
rebate in the amount of $4,990.00. A final overall project cost, including Sales Tax is $4,642.00.
Additional savings will be realized through energy usage. It is estimated that each intersection
with the replacement LED lights will save 100KW per month. The current price, as of January
1,2005, per KW is $4.56. The financial savings in energy efficiency is $456.00 per month, or
$5,472.00 per year. The five proposed intersection in this potential project would produce an
annual energy savings of $27,360.00. There is no money allocated in the 2005 CIP or General
Budget for this project.
REOUESTED COUNCIL ACTION
Staff is requesting work direction on this process. Possible options to be considered;
I. Do not proceed with this possible project at this time, because it was not a budgeted
expense and the existing traffic lights are in working order.
2. Proceed with the project, but at a limited scope. The City Council will determine the
number of intersections that will receive replacement LED lights.
3. Proceed with the project as stated. Council will direct Staff to determine a funding source
and to submit this project for Council approval at the February 14, 2005 Council
. Meeting.

FROM:
SUBJECT:
1104 Amble Drive - Requested Pedestrian Way Vacation
Karth Lake Hills plat; Block 2
Overview
The resident at 1104 Amble Drive (Karth Lake Hills; Lot I, Block 2), Mr. Len Gallus, has
contacted staff and requested that the Council review vacating the Pedestrian Way shown on the
Karth Lake Hills plat from October of 1977. His property abuts a 10' by 150' strip dedicated as
a Pedestrian Way, on which a path has never been constructed. The current plans for Lexington
Avenue include a path that will be constructed to the east of the Pedestrian Way in Ramsey
County right-of-way. The resident of 1104 Amble Drive currently has some sbrubslhedges in
the County right-of-way to the east of the Pedestrian Way, which gives the Pedestrian Way the
appearance that it is actually part of the resident's lot. The resident has essentially used the
Pedestrian Way as part of his property and maintained the property accordingly for
approximately 28 years. However the recent discussions of Lexington Avenue renovation
alerted the resident that he actually had less property than he had thought.
Typically lots in the R-l Zoning district are supposed to have minimum dimensions of 95 feet by
130 feet and 14,000 square feet in area. Mr. Gallus' property is irregularly shaped with the
smallest side along the northern property line (Amble Drive) at approximately 84 feet. The other
dimensions (150 feet, 120 feet, 155feet) and area meet the R-l district requirement. In addition
to the one property dimension not meeting the City standards, this property is also non-

~
. .
conforming due to the Side Yard Comer setback. The Side Yard Comer setback regulation
creates a setback for comer properties which is equivalent to the front yard setback. In this
particular situation, the resident's property would require a Side Yard Comer setback of 40 feet,
where the resident's home is approximately 19 feet from the east property line.
.
Potential Options for the City Council to Consider:
1. The City Maintains Ownership of the Pedestrian Way: Staff has reviewed the resident's
request with the City Engineer, Director of Operations and Maintenance, and Ramey
County's Project Manager for the Lexington Avenue project. All of these individuals
indicated that while the Pedestrian Way has not been used yet, it may be required in the
future. They have pointed out that additional right-of-way had to acquired from the
property owners to the north for the current round of Lexington A venue improvements.
In addition, if a signal or additional utilities needed to be located in the right-of-way to
the east of the Pedestrian Way, it may require shifting the pathway to the west and
perhaps onto the Pedestrian Way. The resident has indicated that if the City is to retain
the property he would like to see the City maintain the property. ~
a. Staff's Action: If the Council determines that the City should retain the
Pedestrian Way, staff's action would be to write a letter to the resident stating that .
the City Council is not interested in vacating the Pedestrian Way.
2. Vacate the Pedestrian Way, attach the vacated property to Karth Lake Hills, Lot 1,
Block 2 (1104 Amble Drive): The process to vacate the Pedestrian Way is similar to the
process to vacate a right-of-way. The City would have to hold a public hearing and make
a finding that the Pedestrian Way was no longer necessary for a public purpose. The
vacated Pedestrian Way would then be adjoined to the resident's property to the west.
a. Staff's Action: If the Council determines that the Pedestrian Way should be
vacated, staff would set a public hearing for the vacation to be held before the
Planning Commission.
Reuuested Actiou
Staff is seeking work direction for this process.
