The Council has not received updated information ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - AUGUST 27, 2007 2 Richard Gonzalez, 3431 Lake Johanna Boulevard, recently submitted a variance application. He expressed his concerns about the process for approving a variance and the lack of opportunity for the resident to present arguments or provide additional information regarding the variance request. He stated that as an applicant he was not allowed to speak to the issue to the Councilor Planning Commission when the vote was being taken. Councilmember Holmes stated she was a member of the Planning Commission and believed the applicant did have an opportunity to speak. Mr. Gonzales stated he could have spoken at the first Planning Commission meeting, but not the second where the decision was made. City Planner Lehnhoff reviewed the process in place. He stated Mr. Gonzalez did speak at the first meeting but the Plauning Commission did not have any questions regarding the revised request at the August meeting. Mr. Gonzalez did submit a written statement and revised plans, which was provided to the Planning Commission and included in the City Council packet. The variance has been denied. Mr. Gonzalez is invited to submit a revised plan in accordance with the zoning for the area. Mr. Gonzalez stated he also has concerns about the notice given to the neighbors. He asked ifit is assumed that neighbors are opposed to a plan if they choose not to attend the public hearing. Mayor Harpstead stated that Mr. Gonzalez had requested to deviate from the zoning for the area. Mr. Gonzales questioned ifhe had to show proof that the neighbors were in favor of the project. Councilmember Holmes stated she did not believe there was an assumption of opposition based on the fact no neighbors attended the public hearing. Councilmember McClung agreed that assumption did not take place in the past, while he was on the Planning Commission, and he does not believe it is now. City Planner Lehnhoff indicated he will follow-up with Mr. Gonzales regarding this matter. 3. APPROVAL OF MINUTES A.

Motion to Approve Resolution Requesting Funding from MN/DOT Through the Metro Metro Municipal Agreement Program for Intersection Improvements to County Road H at Interstate Highway 35W. Ms. Wolfe stated that City staff is requesting that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 07-65 requesting funding from Mn/DOT through the Metro Municipal Agreement Program for intersection improvements to County Road H and Interstate 35W. Staffs recommendation is to apply for funding for the County Road Hand I-35W project. The application is due September 14,2007 as reported by Public Works Director Hoag. Councilmember Holden asked if the design for County Road H could be independently built and designed without the Highway 10 and 96 project. Public Works Director Hoag stated it is not contingent on the Highway 10 and 96 project. MOTION: Councilmember Grant moved and Councilmember Holden seconded a motion to approve the Resolution Requesting Funding from MN/DOT through the Metro Municipal Agreement Program for Intersection Improvements to County Road H at Interstate Highway 35W as presented. Councilmember Holden questioned the last "now therefore" paragraph and questioned if that was related to funding. Public Works Director Hoag stated this project is based on many funding sources. If the grant was received and the other funding sources are not secured the grant could be returned and the project would not need to be completed. Councilmember Holden asked if the request can be brought forward year after year. Ms. Wolfe stated she believes there is a time limit. Councilmember McClung asked if staff had an update on the status of the federal funds. Ms. Wolfe stated at this stage it is very preliminary but is being considered for 2009 federal transportation authorization. Councilmember McClung stated then we may be looking at 2010 authorization and may be "jumping the gun" with the state program prematurely. Ms. Wolfe ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - AUGUST 27, 2007 4 stated it may be difficult to secure the federal funds without the state match. Mr. Hoag has tentative meetings with Mn/DOT next week to discuss the plan and they would act as a supporting agent. Mayor Harpstead requested an update be given to Council of any other information obtained from that meeting. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). 6. PUBLIC HEARINGS None. 7. NEW BUSINESS A. Motion to Approve the Engineering Consultant Pool Ms. Giga reviewed the request for approval of a municipal engineering consultant pool. She reviewed the names of the recommended firms for each category. The categories reviewed were: planning, design of municipal projects, miscellaneous engineering, traffic and transportation engineering, and surface water resources engineering. Ms. Giga stated staff recommends approval of the engineering consultant pool. Councilmember Holden asked if there was an emergency what would be the response time for these firms. Ms. Giga stated all firms indicated they would accommodate the City's timeline. The level of intensity would depend on the project. All firms were very agreeable to meet the City's needs. Ms. Wolfe stated quotes could be obtained quickly from these firms without having to go through a formal bidding process since they are preapproved in the engineering consultant pool. Councilmember Holden asked how long this pool would be in effect. Ms. Giga stated approximately a 5-year period. Typically other cities that have done this type of pool process do an update every 5-7 years. Mayor Harpstead asked what the process would be for changing the members of the pool. Ms. Wolfe stated it would come before the Council. Councilmember Grant asked if any of the 11 interviewed were not selected. Ms. Giga stated nine of the eleven were recommended for inclusion in the pools. When the process was started it was thought it would be five firms per category. The potential workload was looked at and this was adjusted to three-four firms, because it was not desired to overload the pool. Councilmember Grant asked if the City of Roseville did the same process. Ms. Giga stated they did not have a pool at this point; they have a more informal process at this time. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - AUGUST 27,2007 5 MOTION: Counci1member Holden moved and Councilmember McClung seconded a motion to approve the Engineering Consultant Pool. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). B. Motion to Approve Sixth Amendment to the TCAAP Offer to Purchase Ms. Wolfe reviewed the sixth amendment to the TCAAP Offer to Purchase (OTP) dated August 28,2007. She stated at a meeting with the Army and General Services Administration (GSA) in Minneapolis on June 21, 2007, the City and Army/GSA agreed that it would not be possible to reach agreement on the credits by August 31, 2007. However, further information was needed before setting a future date by which to reach agreement on the credits. During a conference call on August 14, 2007, between the Army/GSA, the City, and RRLD, a new date of February 1, 2008 was agreed upon. It was also agreed that Attorney Mike Comodeca would prepare a sixth amendment to the OTP extending the date to reach agreement on the remediation credits to February 1, 2008. Council will need to take action prior to this Friday, August 31, 2007, to extend the deadline and preserve the OTP. Councilmember McClung asked if this is going to just keep going on, noting the City has been negotiating this for some time and another deadline has come and gone. He questioned what realistic chance there was to meet this upcoming deadline and indicated he is worried about the continued extensions. He is also concerned that once agreement is made, the federal government may require closing within 90 days. Ms. Wolfe stated that is valid input and the two previous amendments were extensions to agree on the bond. In that case, the deadline was met. There is some track record to extend some deadlines and then to meet them. It was agreed by the parties that the August 31, 2007 deadline would not be met. Ms. W oIfe stated that after discussion, the parties believe February 1, 2008 is a more realistic deadline. Mayor Harpstead asked if there was an update on the expected closing date. Ms. Wolfe stated the expected closing date is not a contractual obligation. The Army has stated they would like to work towards a July 2008 closing. MOTION: Mayor Harpstead moved and Counci1member Holden seconded a motion to approve the Sixth Amendment to the TCAAP Offer to Purchase as presented. Councilmember Holden stated a lot of time has been spent on this by City staff and the residents of Arden Hills are paying for this time. She questioned who from the City staff will be going to Washington D.C. Ms. Wolfe stated Attorney Mike Comodeca would be going and will be reimbursed for expenses by the developer as provided for in the Preliminary Development Agreement. Councilmember Holden stated it is premature to extend it only for this time period. She believes a couple more months may be added to the deadline and suggested the timeline be revised. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - AUGUST 27, 2007 6 Mayor Harpstead asked about moving the deadline to April 1st, rather than the February 1st date. Ms. Wolfe stated a discussion was not held regarding a later date, so it was unclear how the parties would react to a different date. MOTION: Counci1member Holden moved and Counci1member Grant seconded an amendment to the above motion extending the date to July 1, 2008. Mayor Harpstead asked who had suggested the February 1, 2008 date. Ms. Wolfe stated that the various parties discussed timing and reached consensus that it was a realistic date. This was based on the schedule for completing the remedial investigation and receiving results, beginning negotiations, and considering the holidays. Councilmember Grant stated as this process was started there were many reasons the GSA had that items like this could not be extended. In the past if something went more than 90 days, appraisals were out of line and now it appears not to be a problem pushing out the date. Mayor Harpstead stated this protects the City against rescission. Councilmember McClung stated there is something to be said for extending the date and saying this will be the final amendment. He is very conflicted on this issue and does not know how he would vote on the amendment. Councilmember Holden asked if negotiations have started regarding the credits. Ms. Wolfe stated there have been some very preliminary discussions, including discussion about the water treatment facility, but negotiations regarding the dollar amount have not started. Ms. Wolfe stated there was a discussion among the parties about what would be a realistic date. She does not know if all negotiations can be completed at by February 1, but all believed it was a realistic goal. Councilmember Holden stated a Preliminary Development Agreement was completed some time ago and she noted how long that took for negotiations and finalization. She stated that the negotiations regarding the cost for clean-up involve a lot more money and lengthier negotiations. Councilmember Holmes asked if the closing date can be made more definitive and whether this can be built into the future discussions. Ms. Wolfe stated the offer to purchase document does not include a specific closing date. Currently they are striving toward a July 2008 closing. Councilmember Holmes suggested the time1ine be updated. Councilmember Grant stated there are a number of players involved (GSAlARMY/City/RRLD) and he shares Councilmember McClung's frustration that this is dragging on. He believes the City needs to make a statement and stand behind this last extension but if all work is completed by February 1, 2008, that would be fantastic. He stated he does not have a problem with extending to July 1, 2008. Mayor Harpstead stated there is an assumption GSA accepts the extension to July 1, 2008 and there could be a risk the City would lose its right of rescission. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - AUGUST 27, 2007 7 Councilmember Holmes stated she does not have a problem with this extension as long as there are reasons. She suggested the motion be voted on and not tabled. Ms. Wolfe stated her concern is she does not know how the GSA would accept this revision to July 1. She believes there is some risk in doing this. She stated the ability to revisit this before the end of the week would be necessary if they would not accept the amendment as proposed. She suggested some action be taken this evening to extend beyond the August 31, 2007 date. Councilmember Holden expressed her frustration that the developers have not provided the information requested by Council, noting concern regarding the ability to complete a Master Development Agreement before closing. Councilmember McClung stated he supports Councilmember Holden's amendment changing the date to July 1, 2008. He suggested if GSA does not accept that the City rescind. Councilmember Grant stated there may be other ways to bring the City's message across, noting the parties agreed to the date on the teleconference. He indicated he will vote against the amendment. Amendment motion failed (2-3). Voting in favor of the amendment were Councilmembers Holden and McClung. Voting against the amendment were Mayor Harpstead, and Councilmembers Holmes and Grant. Motion carried (4-1 ). Voting in favor ofthe original motion as presented were Mayor Harpstead, Counci1members Holden, Grant and Holmes. Voting against was Councilmember McClung. C. Motion to Approve Contracting with Bolton & Menk, Inc. for Transportation Planning Services Related to the 2008 Comprehensive Plan Update as Outlined in their Julv 20, 2007 Quotes for Services for an Amount Not to Exceed $14,018 and Authorization for the Mavor to Execute a Contract for Said Services Mr. Lehnhoff reviewed the request to approve contracting with Bolton & Menk, Inc. for Transportation Planning Services related to the 2008 Comprehensive Plan Update as outlined in their July 20,2007 Quotes for Services for an amount not to exceed $14,018 and authorization for the Mayor to execute a contract for said services. They would also be available for additional policy development and indicated they are able to provide support for the City's Blue Cross/Blue Shield grant. Staff is not requesting approval for that at this time. Ifapproved, staff will request a formal contract. The contract will be based upon the submitted quote and any changes to that quote would require City Council approval. MOTION: Counci1member Grant moved and Mayor Harpstead seconded a motion to approve contracting with Bolton & Menk, Inc. for Transportation Planning Services related to the 2008 Comprehensive Plan Update as outlined in their July 20, 2007 Quotes for Services for an amount not to exceed $14,018 and authorization for the Mayor to execute a contract for said servIces. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - AUGUST 27, 2007 8 Councilmember Holden asked if there was any opportunity for public input. Mr. Lehnhoff stated this contract does not call for public input since this quote is just for technical services; however, the Comprehensive Plan update process will include an opportunity for public input on the overall transportation system. This technical data will help inform the public input component. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). D. Motion to Approve / Deny / Table a ReQuest to Transfer Property ID 28-30-23-33- 0030 to the City of New Brighton Mr. Lehnhoff reviewed a request to approve/deny/table a request to transfer Property ill 28-30- 23-33-0030 to the City of New Brighton. Staff reviewed the request and noted that the City Council had requested Mr. Canniff to submit additional information about the building and use at the August 9, 2007, meeting. Additional information is included in the packet, and Mr. Canniff is in attendance to answer questions. He noted staff does not have a recommendation at this time. Staff was asked to look into the option of rezoning the property. A comprehensive plan amendment would be required, and Staff is recommending against rezoning the property at this time. If the property is transferred to New Brighton, Arden Hills could not attach any conditions to the development. It would be subject to the New Brighton zoning code and review process. Councilmember Holmes asked what the line was on the drawing. David Canniff stated it was an alley. Mr. Canniff indicated the location of a sewer pump (lift station). Mr. Lehnhoff stated the alley vacation has not been approved by New Brighton. Mayor Harpstead asked if Mr. Cauniff has filed any documents with the City of New Brighton. Mr. Canniff was noted that all New Brighton building codes have been followed in the plans but they have not proceeded because they do not know where the building would lie. Mayor Harpstead asked about the property at Northwestern College and the buildings that cross the City boundary. Mr. Lehnhoff stated it has been done in the past but it is preferred to be avoided. Councilmember Holmes asked for clarification on whether it would affect the R-2 zoning if the property is sold. Mr. Lehnhoff stated if the portion in Arden Hills were developed separately, the City would have to work with the owner because a house could not be built on that portion of the property within guidelines. The variance process would have to be used to allow reasonable use of the property. Councilmember Holden quoted portions of the New Brighton industrial code. She stated this is a highly residential area for both Arden Hills and New Brighton. The industrial code allows for reasonable amounts of truck traffic, which would conflict with the residential uses in Arden Hills. Councilmember Grant asked if both properties were owned by Interp1ant Sales of Hopkins. Councilmember Grant stated Ramsey County shows that property as a commercial property. Is it common for a County to call a property "commercial" while a city calls the same property ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - AUGUST 27, 2007 9 "residential". Mr. Lehnhoff stated that it does happen occasionally and is related to property taxes. Councilmember Grant asked why the building in one drawing looks square and in another drawing looks rectangular. Mr. Canniff apologized that this is not the correct drawing. He stated all traffic would go in through 3'd Avenue rather than New Brighton Boulevard. This would be the sales facility for Interp1ant Sales and include higher end items. The building would 25,200 square feet. The New Brighton property is 1.2 acres. Mayor Harpstead asked what the time process was to transfer land to the City of New Brighton. Mr. Lehnhoff stated it would require a resolution giving the property to New Brighton and also a resolution from New Brighton accepting the property. MOTION: Mayor Harpstead moved and Councilmember Grant seconded a motion to table consideration ofthis item. Mr. Canniff stated he would like to know fairly quickly where he can put the soil borings. Mayor Harpstead stated there is not enough information at this time to make a decision. The drawings are not correct and he believes it should wait until New Brighton has something before them to make a decision. Councilmember Holmes asked if the building couldn't just be moved to be located in New Brighton. Mr. Canniff stated it would be a better building if the property was transferred to New Brighton. Mayor Harpstead stated a specific property plan needs to be presented. The motion carried (3-2). Voting in favor of the motion to table were Mayor Harpstead, Councilmembers Grant, and Holmes. Voting against were Councilmembers Holden and McClung. Mr. Lehnhoff asked what level of approval is necessary from New Brighton. Mayor Harpstead suggested Mr. Lehnhoff work with his counterpart at New Brighton to make that determination. Mr. Lehnhoff stated that would work just fine. 8. UNFINISHED BUSINESS A. TCAAP Update Ms. Wolfe provided an update on the TCAAP project. Stacie Kvilvang from Ehlers provided a written TCAAP update. Councilmember Holden questioned the AUAR work session date and asked if the meetings can be changed to accommodate Councilmember schedules. Administrator Wolfe responded that staff would review the proposed dates. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - AUGUST 27, 2007 10 Mayor Harpstead asked if more information could be obtained regarding relocation reimbursements and suggested it would be appropriate if the discussion could be limited to 10 minutes for the presentation. Councilmember Holmes stated it may require more than 10 minutes. Councilmember Grant stated this is an important issue and could be 30 minutes. Councilmember McClung stated his preference that it be done at a regular meeting with as much time used as necessary. Ms. Wolfe stated guidance could be provided on the length of the presentation. The relocation discussion will be scheduled at the next Council meeting. Staff will be meeting with legal counsel to discuss topic of land acquisition. Staff will schedule the topic of Highway 10 and 96 for a future Council work session. Mayor Harpstead stated a special meeting is needed to discuss the Master Development Agreement. The meeting has been scheduled on August 31, 2007 at 7:30 a.m. for staff and two Councilmembers to meet with RRLD. 9. COUNCIL COMMENTS AND REQUESTS A. Ms. Wolfe stated a Congressional letter is drafted and will be sent soon. Meetings with the Senator Coleman, and with Senator Klobuchar's Chief of Staff, have been scheduled in order to update them regarding TCAAP. Ms. Wolfe stated the TCAAP Q&A document was distributed to Council for review prior to distribution. Ms. Wolfe asked if Council would like to be involved in the selection of a consultant for the market study. She suggested perhaps a subcommittee of two Counci1members may be appropriate. Councilmember McClung suggested Council participation be included. Staff is requesting to select two Councilmembers to serve on the subcommittee. B. Councilmember Holmes asked about the meeting with Congresswoman Betty McCollum. Mayor Harpstead stated it was a general information discussion regarding TCAAP and it was requested that her office be updated and copied on the amendments. Councilmember Grant requested they receive all the amendments. The intersection of County Road H and I-35W was discussed regarding the federal funding sources available but the timing appears to be delayed for a year. Mayor Harpstead stated there are still opportunities for the State to earmark funding projects. Councilmember Holden stated Rehbein and Ryan are not partners in RRLD any longer, so the City would be working directly with Ryan. C. Councilmember Holmes stated she is struggling with the Communication Plan regarding TCAAP. She is concerned about receiving additional information. Ms. Wolfe stated that Ms. Kvilvang is working with the League of Minnesota Cities to obtain additional references. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - AUGUST 27, 2007 11 D. Councilmember Holden asked for an update on the rental license fees and if that wonld come before Council this year. Ms. Wolfe stated that the issue is scheduled for an upcoming work session, either in September or October. Councilmember Holden noted previously there was also a discussion regarding the number of votes needed for a major decision. E. Councilmember Holden stated the tree preservation ordinance was discussed and she had asked for an update. Mr. Lehnhoff stated he has been researching the tree preservation ordinance but the number of planning cases and other projects has delayed further development of the tree preservation ordinance. This proj ect does remain a top priority. F. Councilmember Holden asked whether a tanker truck would be purchased this year. Mr. Hoag stated in April staff requested to go out for bids. This is a project that one of the internal superintendent candidates is working on and the truck may still be purchased this year although it may take six months to receiving after placing the order. G. Councilmember Holden questioned regarding Ms. Kvilvang's duties as a project manager. Ms. Wolfe stated Ehlers has two contracts with Arden Hills; one for financial management services, including negotiation on the MDA. Both Ms. Kvilvang and Mr. Inman assist in providing those services. The other agreement is for project management services. Ms. Kvi1vang provides those services. In addition, another Ehlers employee, Jonathan North, will be working on the resource plan, which is part of the financial services contract. H. Councilmember Holden asked what happened to the water tower lease from Cingu1ar One. Mr. Lehnhoff responded that Cingular has not been back in contact with the City regarding their request. 1. Councilmember Holden asked about the purchase of another screen for the Council chambers. Staff responded that they have been researching a "Smart Board", which would provide viewing capability for a large attendance at the Council meetings in addition to other functions. Ms. Iverson has contacted a City that may have a surplus Smart Board for sale. J. Councilmember Holden asked if a number of diseased trees have been removed. Mr. Hoag stated approximately 60 resident calls have been responded to, in relation to private trees. All trees on public property that needed to be removed have been removed and costs are still under budget. K. Councilmember Holden asked about design standards for the B-2 district. Mr. Lehnhoff stated he is tentatively bringing that to the October Council meeting. He noted that a change to the zoning code requires a public hearing before the Planning Commission. Mayor Harpstead stated this would not have any impact on the proposed Arden Plaza redevelopment. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - AUGUST 27, 2007 12 L. Councilmember Holden asked if the software was purchased for permits. Ms. Iverson stated it is not yet purchased but is being researched. M. Councilmember Holden asked about the Pay Study.

Councilmember Holden stated she received an emai1 from Dave Munson regarding a property where items are being dumped. Q. Councilmember Holden stated she received phone calls from residents on Beckman Avenue regarding State Fair parking on the street and commended Mr. Hoag for putting up no parking signs to allow for mail delivery. P. Councilmember Grant stated he did some research on the Comprehensive Plan and noted some items of interest relating to density, owner occupancy of affordable housing, trail maintenance, re-surfacing of tennis courts, street rehabilitation, City Hall, and the maintenance facility. He wondered where the 100 acres went with TCAAP, questioned the financial capacity of TCAAP, and requested an answer to his question asked in May. Councilmember Holden asked Ms. Wolfe to go back to the May 17 minutes where Mr. Inman stated he would provide financia1s. Q. Councilmember Holden suggested the National Guard proposal be discussed at an upcoming work session. R. Councilmember Grant asked if the1998 Comprehensive Plan already has proposed residential densities for the TCAAP area, then how do we end up with the different densities in the concept plan for TCAAP. He asks if the proposed densities for TCAAP would be in violation of the 1998 Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Lehnhoff stated that the densities in the 1998 Comprehensive Plan would be amended to reflect the final chosen densities for the TCAAP property. The new densities would then carryover into the 2008 Comprehensive Plan. S.
