TCAAP Update Community Development Director James Lehnhoff stated Mr. Legare has stated that the GSA is continuing to work with the Army on the special terms for the Invitation for Bid. There have not been any changes to the remediation timeline or concept since the last conference call. The next conference call scheduled for Monday, April 5, 2010, will be rescheduled. The Wildlife Corridor will still be transferred as anticipated. The Army is supportive of Ramsey County's request for the 500-foot wide trailhead that crosses the Arden Hills Army Training Site (AHATS) and the Primer Tracer area with certain conditions that are still being discussed. The balance of the Primer Tracer area would be removed from the public auction and absorbed into the AHATS property if this moves forward. The 150-foot wide trail corridor along the eastern property line has not yet received support from the Army. City Staff and the County are continuing discussions on options for obtaining the trail corridor. Staff met with the Cunningham Group on Monday, March 22, 2010, to begin their involvement with the TCAAP zoning project. They anticipate completing their initial review of the draft zoning regulations by April 5 to evaluate the regulations for conformance with City goals in the Comprehensive Plan and Minnesota Statutes. The City is on track to adopt the regulations by the end of June, in time for the public auction. The TCAAP multi jurisdictional meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, April 14, 2010.

Councilmember Holden asked if Arden Hills would be able to achieve a rating of AAA given its size. Mr. North stated that the size of a City is a factor used by S&P and it is not likely at this time Arden Hills would receive a rating of AAA.

Total Project Cost Not to Exceed $16,333.75. Parks and Recreation Manager Michelle Olson stated at the November 16, 2009 City Council worksession, it was the consensus of the Council to include irrigation at Cummings Park in the 2010 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). The initial estimate in the 2010 CIP was based on watering the two sports fields exclusively. The PTRC and the Council both stated they would like to see areas around the pavilion and general park included. As a result of these discussions, the project scope was increased to include the areas surrounding the pavilion and general park areas. The irrigation installation and the plumbing for this project have been separated in order to receive the best possible cost estimate. The combined total of the two lowest bids is $15,483.75. A new water meter will also be needed to complete this project. The overall project cost is estimated to be $16,333.75. The Special Revenue Park Fund includes $17,000 for this project. Councilmember McClung asked what the balance is currently in the Special Revenue Park Fund. Parks and Recreation Manager Olson stated there are some changes coming up with the use of this fund and the PIR fund may be utilized for this project. The Special Revenue Park Fund does not have as much in it as it has in the past. She clarified that she does not have the actual balance of the Special Revenue Park Fund at this time. Councilmember Holden asked how long the bid was good for. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—March 29, 2010 5 7.A.

Total Project Cost Not to Exceed$16,333.75. (continued) Parks and Recreation Manager Olson stated that the bid was good for thirty days from the date received and she received it two weeks ago. Councilmember Holden stated she is in favor of this project. The City's annual Easter Egg Hunt is held in this park and it does not look as nice as it should. She asked how much more it would cost the City to get this park to a good standard where it is worth having the irrigation in place. She clarified that this park has not been fertilized for a number of years. Parks and Recreation Manager Olson stated a fertilization estimate without having the results of the soil sample would be about $3,263 per field per year and there are two fields at Cummings Park. The total would be a little more than $6,000 per year. This figure is with City Staff doing _ all the fertilizing. The labor cost includes putting down the fertilization, aerating, mowing, and weed control Councilmember Holden asked how the grass on the hill that goes down to the baseball field, would be maintained in the park because of the grade of the hill. - Parks and Recreation Manager Olson stated the entire park would be aerated and fertilized. The irrigation zone map being presented was the most comprehensive that the City could get. With the exception of the hockey area, the intention is to maintain the hill the same as the rest of the park. The City will aerate and fertilize this area. Councilmember Holden asked if this area would be watered as well. She also asked if grass seed was included in the fertilization estimates. Parks and Recreation Manager Olson stated grass seed was included in the fertilization estimates. Public Works Director Greg Hoag clarified that the hill area will not have irrigation but the City could utilize the sprinkler system it has used in the past for this area when it is needed or the City could add additional irrigation to this area. Councilmember Holden asked when the Council would see a maintenance schedule for all the parks. Public Works Director Hoag stated Staff is currently working on a draft and this will be brought to the Council for discussion. Parks and Recreation Manager Olson clarified the maintenance schedule could be brought to the next City Council work session for review. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—March 29, 2010 6 7.A. Award the Cummings Park Irrigation Installment to Village Plumbing, Inc. in the Amount of$1,616.00 for the Plumbing Installation; Anderson Irrigation, Inc. in the Amount of $13,867.75 for the Irrigation; Plus an Additional Amount of$850.00 for a City-Purchased Water Meter.

Councilmember Grant asked if the City would be doing the sprinkler blowout in the fall. Public Works Director Hoag stated the City currently blows out other y on irri ati systems in the - g City and they have the proper equipment for this. Councilmember Grant clarified that Cummings Park will be aerated, fertilized and irrigated with this project. Councilmember Holmes asked if there has been any fertilization or aeration at Perry Park. Public Works Director Hoag stated there has not been any fertilization done at Perry Park for the last several years but the park has been aerated. The City has been aerating the sports fields but not general park areas. Councilmember McClung stated he would not support this motion at this time. He does not agree with this project being included in the 2010 CIP because of the cost in relation to the amount of funds available in the Special Revenue Park Fund. The Citydoes not have a plan on how to finance park improvements moving forward and until there is a comprehensive review of park maintenance and a set policy for maintenance he would not be able to support this project. pP P roJ Councilmember Grant stated this particular field is in need of maintenance and does need to be improved. Residents use this park and these residents are paying park fees for soccer and other sports. The residents of Arden Hills deserve to have a park that they can utilize and be safe on. The parks and trails are important to the City. The proposed amount is not excessive for what the City trying to gain. The motion was called to a vote. The motion carried (4-1).

Approve Ordinance 2010-005 to Amend Section 630 of the City Code Regarding Construction Activity as Presented in the March 8, 2010, Report to the City Council, and Approve Publication of a Summary of Ordinance 2010- 005 Approve Ordinance 2010-006 to Amend the 2010 Fee Schedule to Add a Construction Activity Waiver Application Fee as Presented in the March 8, 2010, Report to the City Council, and Approve Publication of a Summary of Ordinance 2010-006 Public Works Director Hoag stated Staff is proposing amending section 630 of the City Code regarding the regulation of construction activity. Section 630 currently prohibits construction activity except between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. The regulations do not provide for a process for the City to review and approve exceptions to this requirement, nor are there exceptions provided for emergency construction activity that may be required to protect public safety, such as water main breaks or power outages. While variances may be reviewed and approved for regulations within the Zoning Code the City does not have a mechanism to grant variances to regulations within the City Code. Staff is proposing to add language to Section 630 that would allow for emergency construction activity to occur outside of the permitted hours for the purpose of public health, safety, and welfare, subject to the notification of the Public Works Director. Staff is also proposing language that would allow the City Council to grant permits to applicants seeking a waiver to conduct nighttime construction activity. A formal public hearing would not be required and Staff would notify neighboring property owners within 350 feet of the proposed construction activity prior to the Council meeting. The City Council would have broad discretion in approving or denying such requests. If the request were approved,the Council would be able to add reasonable conditions to the permit as needed. Staff discussed the proposed regulations with the City Attorney and he had no objections to the proposed language. As part of the proposal a Construction Activity Waiver Fee would be added to the 2010 Fee Schedule. Staff has determined that a fee of$250 per application would be an appropriate fee amount. Councilmember Holden asked if someone does construction and put in for a work waiver they would be able to work 24 hours. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—March 29, 2010 8 7.B. Approve Ordinance 2010-005 to Amend Section 630 of the City Code Regarding Construction Activity as Presented in the March 8, 2010, Report to the City Council, and Approve Publication of a Summary of Ordinance 2010-005 and Approve Ordinance 2010-006 to Amend the 2010 Fee Schedule to Add a Construction Activity Waiver Application Fee as Presented in the March 8, 2010, Report to the City Council, and Approve Publication of a Summary of Ordinance 2010-006 Public Works Director Hoag stated this would be at the discretion of the Council. Staff was considering the City's corporate partners when reviewing this Code and projects they may have such as parking lot maintenance. Councilmember Holden stated if this Code change was for parking lot maintenance then it should be more restrictive or targeted to this particular use. Mayor Harpstead clarified that when exceptions are being requested a permit approved by the City Council would be required,with the exception of emergency situations, which goes to Staff. Public Works Director Hoag stated this was correct. Councilmember Holmes asked what the distance was for surrounding properties to be notified. Public Works Director Hoag stated properties within 350-feet would be notified of an application before it was presented at a City Council meeting for approval. Community Development Director Lehnhoff clarified that the statement "properties within 350-feet will be notified" is not in the code and should be added. He also recommended adding "at least 10 days prior to the Council meeting" so that people have a chance to comment ahead of the Council review. Councilmember Holden stated this distance should be increased. Community Development Director Lehnhoff stated the 350-feet notification distance is statutorily required in the City's planning cases but this number could be expanded upon. Councilmember Holden clarified she does not have a problem with these changes for maintenance reasons but does not feel it should be expanded to include new construction projects. Councilmember McClung stated during the discussions for the Sand Companies proposal one of the City's corporate partners stated one of the reasons they were opposed to this project was because they may want to be doing construction during off hours. He clarified this was not allowed under the current ordinance. He does not agree with adding language that would allow someone to stop a neighbor because they did not want him or her doing it next to them. The City should have some flexibility but they should be careful on how it is used. Community Development Director Lehnhoff stated overnight reconstruction or construction of a parking lot would not be allowed under the current ordinance but they could request a permit under this ordinance but this would be subject to Council approval. AR—DEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—March 29, 2010 9 7.B. Approve Ordinance 2010-005 to Amend Section 630 of the City Code Regarding Construction Activity as Presented in the March 8, 2010, Report to the City Council, and Approve Publication of a Summary of Ordinance 2010-005 and Approve Ordinance 2010-006 to Amend the 2010 Fee Schedule to Add a Construction Activity Waiver Application Fee as Presented in the March 8, 2010, Report to the City Council, and Approve Publication of a Summary of Ordinance 2010-006 Councilmember Holmes asked if the City had people requesting to do construction outside of the hours allowed. Public Works Director Hoag stated the City gets one or two requests per year and other cities allow for this. Land O'Lakes and Boston Scientific have asked for nighttime waivers in order to do parking lot maintenance. Councilmember Holmes stated if the requests were for parking lot maintenance then the ordinance could be more restrictive. Community Development Director Lehnhoff stated this could be looked into. Mayor Harpstead stated it would be possible to limit these construction activities in industrial zones. Councilmember Holden stated it could be but the City has several businesses that are not in industrial zones such as churches, North Heights, and Trinity Lutheran. These places have large g parking lots that will require maintenance. Community Development Director Lehnhoff stated Boston Scientific is adjacent to a residential area as well. He stated the ordinance could specify non-residential uses and this would exclude homes. Mayor Harpstead stated he was concerned about keeping the overnight construction activities out of neighborhoods and by having it restricted to industrial zones the neighborhood line would still be observed. Councilmember Holden asked if there have been any requests that have not been maintenance. Public Works Director Hoag stated that he does not recall any. Mayor Harpstead stated the City does not have differences in its codes for construction versus maintenance. Community Development Director Lehnhoff requested there be direction to Staff for this. Staff could bring this back to the Council at a later time if preferred. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—March 29, 2010 10 7.B. Approve Ordinance 2010-005 to Amend Section 630 of the City Code Regarding Construction Activity as Presented in the March 8, 2010, Report to the City Council, and Approve Publication of a Summary of Ordinance 2010-005 and Approve Ordinance 2010-006 to Amend the 2010 Fee Schedule to Add a Construction Activity Waiver - Application Fee as Presented in the March 8, 2010, Report to the City Council, and Approve Publication of a Summary of Ordinance 2010-006 Councilmember Holmes stated language in Section 630.10, the final sentence, could be changed to read "the City Council may grant a permit waiving the requirements of this section for maintenance only and may impose reasonable conditions to it." Community Development Director Lehnhoff stated this would be an acceptable change and would suggest adding the notification requirements to the end of this sentence. MOTION: Mayor Harpstead moved and Councilmember McClung seconded a motion to Approve Ordinance 2010-005 to Amend Section 630 of the City Code and Amend the last sentence in Section 630.10 to read "Upon application for a waiver and notification of residence within 500-feet of the property line, the City Council may irant a permit waiving the requirements of this Section for maintenance activities and may impose reasonable conditions to it." Community Development Director Lehnhoff suggested changing the word "residence" to "properties" and to add the language "at least 10 days prior to the City Council meeting" after the phrase 500-feet of the property line. Mayor Harpstead accepted these friendly amendments. Councilmember McClung accepted these friendly amendments. The motion was called to a vote. The motion carried unanimously(5-0).

The motion carried unanimously (5-0). 8. UNFINISHED BUSINESS A. Request for Wild Turkey Control ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—March 29, 2010 11 8.A. Request for Wild Turkey Control(continued) Community Development Director Lehnhoff stated on February 23, 2010, the City was contacted by Ms. Heiman, at 3635 Snelling Avenue North, regarding concerns with aggressive wild turkeys in her yard that were also causing damage to the landscaping. The resident asked the City to obtain a permit from the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to have the turkeys removed. Staff spoke with Ms. Heiman on March 9 and March 22. Ms. Heiman reported that the turkeys were in her yard on both days and that the turkeys were continuing to create a nuisance. She reiterated her request to have the City apply for a permit from the DNR to have the turkeys eliminated. She also extended her offer to pay for the turkey removal. There is no cost for the permit. Another resident at 1398 Arden View Drive also submitted a letter with pictures expressing concern about the increasing number of wild turkeys in Arden Hills, though they did not request the City to remove the turkeys. The turkeys will be difficult to remove at this time because it is spring and it is the start of their mating season and turkeys often disburse once the snow has melted. He also stated that there have been some concerns expressed about coyotes in the City. Councilmember Holden asked if Staff has been to the location to assess the problem in person. She has been by the property and not seen any turkeys. Community Development Director Lehnhoff stated he had been by the property on three - occasions and had not noticed any turkeys on the property. Mayor Harpstead stated he has seen these turkeys and they are still in the area. Councilmember Grant stated he saw six turkeys this morning at this location and he has seen them on other occasions. Mayor Harpstead stated these types of requests would come to the Council from time to time. He stated the Council should wait to see if there are any chicks this year and then do something either in the fall or early spring next year if there is a problem. Councilmember McClung stated this is not a new issue and he felt that the only reason this was being brought to the Council at this time was because there had been a similar request in the newspaper for Shoreview. Councilmember Holden stated wildlife is cyclical. She felt that the turkey problem may be at its peak now and will start to lessen. As far as the coyotes, these are shy animals and will run from humans so she did not see a problem with them at this time. Councilmember Grant clarified this particular resident is not bringing this item to the Council because of a newspaper article about a similar situation in Shoreview. The animals can be fun to watch but having twenty or more in your yard could be a problem. Even though it is spring and they may be dispersing the issue will return either in the fall or next spring and it will need to be looked at again because it is an issue. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—March 29, 2010 12 8.A. Request for Wild Turkey Control (continued) Mayor Harpstead asked the Council if the direction to Staff at this time would be to do nothing because they will be difficult to catch and they may be dispersing. The City will need to be vigilant regarding this particular issue. Community Development Director Lehnhoff stated Shoreview had gotten a permit for seventy- five turkeys but quit after getting only five because they had dispersed and were no longer in the area. She recommended residents go to the DNR Web site for information on keeping these and other animals from staying in your yard. Mayor Harpstead stated this is an issue that will come back to the Council and the Council will need to find a way to be more measured in these requests. It was the consensus of the Council to direct Staff to do nothing regarding this matter at this time. Community Development Director Lehnhoff clarified that in the future Staff could provide this type of information to the Council in the Admin Update. 9. COUNCIL COMMENTS AND REQUESTS Councilmember Holden stated April 6, 2010 was the Arden Hills/Shoreview Rotary meeting and she encouraged Arden Hills' residents to attend. Last year there had not been a large number of Arden Hills' residents present. The meeting will be held at Anchor Bank. Councilmember McClung reminded residents that the 2010 Census forms were out and they need to be mailed in. He also stated Ramsey County is still holding their Friends of the Park tree sale. He stated residents could donate trees to the City's parks. There is information on the City's website including a list of desired trees for the City. Community Development Director Lehnhoff stated extra Census forms could be obtained at City Hall. He also stated that on April 16 there is a Healthy Planning Workshop meeting at City Hall. There are two open seats for any City Council members who wish to attend. Councilmember McClung stated he was not able to attend this meeting. Mayor Harpstead stated he would take one of the reserved seats if it were still available. Councilmember Holmes stated on Wednesday, March 31, 2010, the Minnesota Department of Transportation was holding an open house to discuss the I-694 Corridor project. Councilmember Grant asked Community Development Director Lehnhoff to provide an update on the Highway 10 and County Road 96 project in the Admin Update. Community Development Director Lehnhoff stated he would talk with Civil Engineer Giga and provide this information to the Council. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—March 29, 2010 13 9.
