MINUTES OF CITY COUNCIL MEETING
FEBRUARY, 2004
The February, 2004 meeting of the City Council of the City of Gem Lake was called to order by Mayor Emeott on
Monday, 23 February 2004, at 8:45 PM in the first floor meeting room of Tousley Ford. Council Members Watson, Igo,
Birkebak and Bosak, and Clerk Magnuson were present. Also present were several members of the community, Bryan
Hansen and representatives of the I" Evangelical Free Church of Maplewood.
Following Mayor Emeott's request for additions, deletions, or corrections, the following actions were taken: 1)
unanimous approval ofthe City Council Meeting Minutes for 20 January 2004 as presented on motion by Watson, second
by Igo; and, 2) unanimous approval of the City Council Meeting Agenda as presented for 23 February 2004 on motion
by Igo, second by Birkebak.
Magnuson then presented General Announcements.
Magnuson then reported on the Leuthard, Scruggs and Wallin notices of violation and efforts to abate same.
Magnuson then identified November Meeting Minutes ofI-35E Corridor Management Group and Council confirmed
electronic receipt.
Magnuson then summarized the Sheriff s Annual Crime Report and the Council acknowledged receipt of minutes
of the Sheriffs January meeting. The report will be maintained in the Sheriffs files.
Magnuson then presented Commissioner Tony Bennett's response to the petitioners of Otter Lake, Goose Lake and
Scheuneman Roads received last year with no action taken.
Magnuson then reported he has spoken with Ron Launderville who indicates he has been unable to secure purchase
rights to the Leuthard property and, therefore, he is unable to go forward with his development plans. Following Council
discussion and upon motion by Igo and second by Watson, the Council voted unanimously (5 Aye / 0 Nay / 0
Abstentions) to deny the Application For a Special Use Permit submitted in 2003 by Ron Launderville (a/k/a/
Launderville Towing).
Magnuson then presented Gardner's Application for Subdivision, stating that this is a minor subdivision which
makes sense as the parcel defined to be subdivided is to be attached to the McNulty (f/k/a Bemis) property and is
otherwise land locked. Both Magnuson and Emeott as Zoning Administrators have approved this subdivision and
recommend the Council approve same, contingent upon Mr. Gardner filing a final plat with Ramsey County on or before
30 June 2004. Following Council discussion, motion by Bosak and second by Birkebak to approve Gardner's Application
For Minor Subdivision contingent upon receipt by the City Clerk of verification of filing of final plat with Ramsey
County on or before 30 June 2004 was unanimously approved.
Motion by Bosak, second by Igo to approve Accounts Payable for January/February as prepared by Magnuson
and totaling $19,849.88 was unanimously approved. Motion by Bosak, Second by Igo to accept the January Treasurer's
Report as prepared by Cobian and indicating a balance in the General Fund of $71,714.65 and in the Sewer Fund of
$44,674.57 was unanimously approved.
Mayor Emeott then recognized the representatives of the 1 S` Evangelical Free Church who presented an overview
of their desire to purchase the Hansen property (LDB) and build a new (mega) church indicating they would need several
variances and approvals to move forward. Following questions, Mayor Emeott in his capacity as Zoning Administrator
presented his written comments which are attached and will be retained in the file for the Hansen property. Following
discussion, the Council consensus was that the matter be referred to the Planning Commission for consideration prior
to Council consideration.

On approximately 22 December 2003, I received via regular US Mail an Application For Subdivision from David
K. Leslie D. Gardner. Following review, it was determined that the application qualified as a Minor Subdivision pursuant
to provisions of Section 6 of Ordinance No. 58. Based upon this determination, procedures for same were implemented.
Mr. Gardner was notified by telephone that the application was incomplete and required the following information
to be considered complete:
I . A completed survey of his entire property including both a description and an engineers rendering
of the parcel.
On 23 January 2004, said additional information was received, reviewed by Mayor Emeott and I in our capacity as
Zoning Administrators and found to be complete.
On 26 January 2004, a letter to Mr. Gardner indicated the application was now complete and that our
recommendation that the City Council approve same would be sent for consideration at the 23 February 2004 City
Council Meeting. Based upon identification of a complete application on 23 January 2004, we must act on this matter
on or before 23 March 2004 to be in compliance with the "60 Day Rule".
By means of this correspondence, we the undersigned acting in our capacity as Zoning Administrators recommend
approval of the Application For (Minor) Subdivision submitted by David K. Gardner and Leslie D. Gardner. We further
recommend that Final Approval be provided upon receipt by the City of verification of filing with Ramsey County
Property Records And Revenue and amendment of property boundary lines by the City Engineer.

MINUTES OF ANNUAL MEETING
NPDES / MS4 / SWPPP
23 February 2004
The first annual Public Meeting of the City of Gem Lake to review the City's report of performance in accordance
with the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) and the related Small Municipal Separate Storm
Sewer Systems (MS4) Phase II Permit which is guided by the City's Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program
(SWPPP) was held on 23 February 2004. A Public Notice of the meeting was placed in the White Bear Press, the City's
Legal Publication on 28 January 2004. Mayor Emeott, Councilors Watson, Igo, Birkebak and Bosak , and City Clerk
Magnuson were present along with several members of the community.
Mayor Emeott then made opening comments stating, for the record, that this hearing is required as part of our
SWPPP to provide both education of City efforts to it's residents and to make known it's accomplishments, commitments
and challenges.
Mayor Emeott then presented the Agenda for the Public Meeting. Motion by Birkebak, Second by Igo to approve
the Agenda for the Public Meeting was unanimously approved.
Mr. Magnuson was then recognized. Mr. Magnuson presented the thirty-one (31) page Draft Annual Report
summarizing the three (3) page formatted report and each of the twenty-eight (28) pages of criteria, allowing time for
questions and answers from the City Council or those present.
Following Mr. Magnuson's presentation, Mayor Emeott asked if there had been any written or oral input on the
City's SWPPP for consideration and inclusion in the record and for consideration as changes to the City's SWPPP. Mr.
Magnuson replied that no written or oral input had been received prior to convening this meeting. Mayor Emeott then
asked if any Councilors wished to make comments with no response from the Councilors. Mayor Emeott then asked if
anyone present wished to make comments with no response from those present. Mayor Emeott then declared that since
there were no comments, no Record of Decision (ROD) would be required and no amendment of the SWPPP appeared
necessary.
There being no further business, the First Annual Public Meeting for review of the City's MS4 / SWPPP was
adjourned at 8:45 PM.

CITY OF GEM LAKE
MINUTES OF PUBLIC HEARING
Continued From 18 February 2004
23 February 2004
A Public Hearing initially convened on 18 February 2004 before the Gem Lake Planning Commission and
continued to this date by Planning Chairman Hoeschler was called to order by Mayor Emeott on Monday, 23 February
2004, at 7:07 PM in the first floor meeting room of Tousley Ford. Mayor Emeott, Councilors Igo, Watson, Bosak and
Birkebak, and Clerk Magnuson were present. Also present were Chairman Hoeschler and Mr. Lindner of the Planning
Commission, Mr. McNulty and his consultants and several members of the community listed on the attached.
Mayor Emeott then made opening comments stating, for the record, that this hearing is a continuation ofthe hearing
originally convened before the Planning Commission to insure all interested members of the Gem Lake community had
opportunity to be heard regarding the proposed subdivision of Hillary Farm by McNulty Construction Company. Mayor
Emeott stated that Mr. McNulty has been working diligently to present alternative plans for the site for the consideration
of the Planning Commission and City Council.
Mayor Emeott then presented the Agenda for the continuation of the public hearing. Motion by Birkebak, Second
by Igo to approve the Agenda for the Public Hearing was unanimously approved.
The Clerk reported that the Notice of Public Hearing was duly published in the 04 February 2004 edition of the
White Bear Press and that direct mail notification required for the proceeding had been completed coincidental to the
legal notice publication.
Mayor Emeott then indicated that while the required hearing for a subdivision was held before the Planning
Commission, Bryan Hansen indicated at the January City Council meeting that he felt the City Council and not the
Planning Commission should receive public comment. Following receipt of Mr. Hansen's comments, the City Council
determined additional time to hear the matter could be made available on this date. The primary purpose of this
continuation of the hearing is to receive comments from those who were not heard or could not attend the 18 February
2004 hearing.
Mr. McNulty then presented to those present his concept plans identified as Plan `B", Plan "D" and Open Space
Plan for discussion noting differences as well as the opportunities and challenges of both plans.
Mayor Emeott then recognized Councilor Watson who asked for clarification of intent to sewer each or all plans
to which Mr. McNulty responded only "D" and Open Space provided for sewer and `B" utilized ISTS. Bill John asked
if any record of a 65' easement along the south edge of the golf course had been addressed and was advised that no such
easement exists according to title searches ordered by McNulty. Bill John asked if zoning changes would be required
for "D" or Open Space and the answer was yes. Bill John indicated he preferred the 3 acre zoning approved in recent
years by the City but also supported bringing the sewer into the plan. Bill John also has concerns as he only recently
replaced his ISTS and would not want additional costs at this time. Gary and Mary Limborg asked if road alignment with
Scheuneman Road could be done in such a manner as to avoid direct headlights into homes on the east side of Scheunem-
an Road to which McNulty responded yes this will be considered and can be accommodated.
Discussion of traffic counts at approximately 250 trips per day (10 trips per day for 25 homes) for `B" clarified
concerns by Hansen and corrected Hoeschler's notes regarding the hearing on 18 February 2004. Magnuson further
noted that changes to Scheuneman Road would be Ramsey County concerns as they have not met Gem Lake's criteria
for turn backs which, I turn, would allow for restructuring traffic patterns.
Discussion ofgolfcourse concerns regarding potential damage to homes was discussed and warrants considerations
of set -backs.
Bosak discussed sewer versus density and alignment to avoid adverse impact on current residents.
Hoeschler noted the City Engineer has recommended installation of sewer for all plans due to environmental
concerns. Emeott noted similar concerns from VLAWMO along with concerns over bituminous curbs and buffers at
wetlands to avoid fertilizer and other pollutants. Discussion of the possibility of an Environmental Assessment
Worksheet followed as both the City Engineer and VLAWMO thought this might be considered depending upon sewer
Page 1 of 2
and other considerations. Roger Anderson, McNulty's engineer stated that an EAW would be a waste oftime and money
and noted our Ordinance provides foe the use of ISTS in 3 acre R-1 Residential Districts. Mr. McNulty moved that his
application be declared complete, that soils are adequate for ISTS and can be done in accordance with City ordinances.
Bill John asked why mound systems were shown, stating he believed these were used primarily in areas where soils
would not support standard ISTS. Roger Anderson responded that plans for mounds were included as worst case
scenarios and that where in ground systems were appropriate they would be employed. John then indicated a preference
for 3 acre zoning and sewer.
Ken Defiel was recognized and supported John's comments.
Magnuson noted verbal comments received by Jule Hannaford, trustee for Jack Hannaford's property. Magnuson
noted that only Hanson has submitted written comments regarding traffic discussed earlier.
There being no further business, the Public Hearing was adjourned at 8:15 pm.

Hi all,
Here is my take on the locating of a Church in the LDB zoned
area of the City of Gem Lake. The City Council has been
notifed that the representatives of the Evangelical Free church
are planning on attending the Feb City Council meeting next
Monday.
These two pages are planned as a "hand-out" to the church
representatives for their consideration before the City Council
meeting. Hopefully it will give them enough to think about that
they will re -consider bypassing the normal path thru the Planning
Commission for this effort.
Paul Emeott - Mayor, City of Gem Lake
P. S. I will send a copy of this to Bryan Hansen on Monday and not
before.
Monday, February 23, 2004 America Online: GemLakeCity
City of Gem Lake, MN
Office of the Zoning Administrator
Building of a Church on land in and adjacent to the LDB Zoning District
The LDB zoning district, in the City of Gem Lake, is an 11.64 acre parcel of property in the southeastern
part of the city. It fronts on Country Rd. E and runs from the Tousley Ford employee parking lot driveway
on the East to the Residential private driveway on the West. The original intention of the owner of this
parcel of property was for it to be for the location of an "Office park".
Some specifics of what the City of Gem Lake Zoning Ordinance describes for the LDB area include:
1) A Church or Synagogue is a permitted principal use in the LDB 11.64 acre parcel.
2) 45 % of the LDB zoning district should be open space which includes green areas and areas
not covered by buildings, parking lots, access roads and storage areas. 6.4 acres
(11.64 X 55 %) of space is available for buildings, parking lots, access roads and storage
areas.
3) The hours or operation, for any business, in the LDB "office park" site are limited to be
principally during the normal work week (7 AM to 7 PM Monday thru Friday).
4) Business uses involving regular as opposed to occasional activity on Saturdays, Sundays and
Holidays or before 7 AM and/or after 7 I'M are not permitted.
5) Approvals for any use in this area (LDB Zoning Area) must be given in advance, by the
Planning Commission, and must be:
A) Generally compatible with the intent and purpose of the Zoning Ordinance and
Comprehensive plan of the City of Gem Lake and meet the Building Code.
B) Must be environmentally sound, compatible with the adjacent land uses and zone,
including sound, sight and smell and compatible with the type and volume of traffic
upon adjacent roadways.
C) Overall density of structures including parking area, walls and roadways, front ,side
and rear yards must reflect the transitional nature of the LDB district from high
density in Business districts to the low density of residential districts.
The "City of Gem Lake Comprehensive plan", adopted in 1997, generally describes the same use of the
LDB Zoning District as the Zoning Ordinance, but does suggest that:
1) Development consisting of "life cycle/condominium type residential (possibly cluster
housing) with a density not exceeding one unit per acre would be considered in the LDB area.
2) At least 45 % green space shall be provided. (Any wetlands in this area may be considered as
part of the green space).
3) All parking areas should be bermed and use natural barriers and be located away from the
residential areas bordering on the north and west.
4) Automobile traffic from any business in this area must be channeled to County Rd E and not
to the authorized private way serving the residences located on the north and westernly limit
of this planning area.
NOTES:
1) The 6 acre undeveloped residential area to the north of the LDB property and owned by the same
owner as the LDB parcel is only zoned for "one -family detached dwellings. Two possible "Rl" 3 acre
parcels of land might be available for residences.
2) No wetland del iniation has been done on the LDB parcel. There has been some Flooding reported in
Vadnais Heights from outflow to the south from this LDB parcel in very heavy rains. Parts of the
storm water drainage from this LDB parcel are included in both the VLAWMO and Ramsey -
Washington Metro Watershed districts.

Office of the Zoning Administrator
Alternate method to develop the LDB and adjacent R1 residential parcels
for a Church
An alternate method of planning for the possible construction of a Church on the 17.64 acre site, made up
of the 11.64 LDB acreage and the 6.0 acres of RI residential land directly to the North of the LDB site,
would be to request an "Institutional Overlay District" for the entire 17.64 acres. A Church is one of the
permitted uses in an area to be defined for an Institutional Overlay. The Institutional Overlay is considered
a "re -zoning" of a defined plat of land for a specific non-commercial purpose. A public hearing with its
required notices is needed for this re -zoning. You probably should be talking to and getting the approval of
the close -by residential property owners before you request such an action for a overlay district.
There are some restrictions on this overlay district. These are:
1) The total lot coverage of all buildings and other structures shall not exceed 15 %. (17.64 X 15 % _
2.65 acres).
2) The minimum open space requirements shall be 45 %, including green areas not covered by
buildings, parking lots, access roads, storage areas or other areas covered by impervious surfaces.
(17.64 X 45% = 7.94 acres). You would have 9.7 acres for your church, parking lots and access
roads.
3) A plan review is needed before work is done on start of building or remodeling that will change the
outside dimensions of any building or structure in the Institutional Overlay Area.
4) If the proposed building is not built within 12 months of the date of approval, the overlay shall
expire.
5) The overlay district is only for the organization which applied for and received the permit for the
overlay. No leases or subletting of the building or facilities operating on the Institutional Overlay is
permitted
All other conditions of use for the Institutional Overlay District are to be negotiated on a case -by -case basis
by both the Planning Commission and the City Council after the public hearing is held.
All storm water matters, for this parcel, must be approved in advance of issuing an Institutional Overlay
permit by both the VLAWMO and Ramsey -Washington Metro Watershed districts.

4488 Otter Lake Road
White Bear Township, MN 55110
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Norris:
Thank you for your letter regarding Otter Lake Road between Highway 96 and
Scheunenman Road. I have had our Traffic Engineer look at your concerns regarding
this stretch of road. I have also spent several different days at different times observing
it myself. It is my understanding that the Sheriff has also monitored the speeds in the
40 MPH section and found that most people were driving in the 40 — 45 MPH range.
My background is 30 years in law enforcement so I am quite familiar with traffic
problems. Stop signs do not necessarily slow people down. In fact, in a lot of cases,
they create more accidents. As far as speed is concerned, it has been proven that
people tend to drive a speed at which they feel somewhat comfortable. If the speed
limit is too low, the only time they will drive that speed is when there is a law
enforcement officer there to enforce it. Otherwise, they drive within their comfort zone.
Having said that, I found that there are several things that I thought could be done
immediately. I took our Traffic Engineer out there and here are some of the suggestions
that we agreed to. I understand they will be done as soon as possible.
1. We will remove the southbound 40 MPH sign just south of Park Street.
2. We will ret-nove two of Lhe 35 i,4PH curve signs and replace them with 150 MPH
curve signs on the sharper of the two curves.
3. We will move the southbound 40 MPH sign further south, to the beginning of the
straight-away area.
4. We will stripe the southbound lane at Pine Street to include a right turn lane onto
Pine Street.
The issue regarding the stop signs at Goose Lake Road and Whitaker Avenue will be
addressed based on warrant criteria established in the Minnesota Manual on Uniform
Traffic Control Devices. This will require some time as traffic counts need to be
monitored. From my observations, I suspect that Goose Lake Road may ultimately
qualify for a three-way stop after these studies have taken place. I am not sure about
Whitaker Avenue. We will also do some speed studies along that stretch.

December 2, 2003
With the new reduction of speed on the first curve, the change and relocation of speed
signs along the rest of the road, and the possibility of stop signs at Scheuneman Road,
there should be a marked improvement.
In regards to the 25 MPH speed zones you referenced, they are only legal in the areas
near schools -- and then, only when children are present.
After further study, we may be able to make some additional changes. Please let me
know if what we have done so far helps.
Sincerely,
Tony Bennett

Meeting Notes
Tuesday, November 18, 2003
Present: Bill Short, Glen Van Wormer, Ann Braden, Tim Benetti, Derek Wippich, Jim
Robinson, Marc Goess (MnDOT), Jeff Gibbens (MnDOT), Rick Arnebeck (MnDOT),
Joel Hanson (Little Canada),
1. Call to Order
The meeting was called to order at 8:35 a.m.
2. Approval of Agenda
The agenda was approved as written
3. Approval of August 12, 2003 meeting minutes.
The August minutes were changed to indicate that construction of the main component of
the Unweave the Weave project will start in 2005 and is expected to be completed in
2007.
4. I/35El1-694 Commons Section (Unweave the Weave) Project Status Report
In Frank Pafko's absence, Marc Goess briefed the committee on the status of the project.
MnDOT has requested muncipal approval from Little Canada and Vadnais Heights.
Vadnais Heights has an open house scheduled on December I" and Little Canada will
hold a workshop on November 261h. These meetings will provide opportunities for
residents to learn about the project and ask questions. A Vadnais Heights economic
development group is raising questions regarding MnDOT's plants to mitigate impacts on
businesses during construction. Marc said Kent Barnard, MnDOT would be a good
contact on this topic, and his number is 651-582-1364.
Three separate lettings have been scheduled: 1) February 27, 2004: The Edgerton Bridge
and widening of the EB 694 bridge over Highway 61. MnDOT intends to finish this
project by next Fall. 2) July 23, 2004: approaches to the Edgerton Bridge —some right
of way easements still need to be acquired. 3) December 17, 2004: Remaining portion of
the project, construction will begin in spring of 2005. Little Canada will have cost
participation for the second and third lettings. Vadnais Heights' aesthetic enhancements
for the bridge will require municipal agreement.
Jeff explained that the municipal consent process is needed to obtain approval of the
layout by communities directly impacted by the road improvement. In this case, only
Vadnais Heights and Little Canada will need to give consent. Marc said there have been
changes in the construction staging. In order to guarantee that the project could be
complete in three years, the ramp from I-35E northbound to I-694 westbound must be
--1 closed for a year. Therefore they will build a temporary ramp that will have its own ramp
onto the Edgerton Bridge. (Maps were referenced in order to describe how the detour
would operate.) 800 to 1200 vehicles are expected to use the "Edgerton bypass". It is
also hoped that the TH 61/CR E interchange will be completed next year. Mike Eng
(MnDOT) needs to connect with Dan Soler about this. Glen said he would try to get
them together.
Transit mitigation is also needed. MnDOT, Metro Transit and the Ramsey County
Regional Authority staff have met to develop a plan. MT concluded that this project
won't really affect transit to downtown Minneapolis, but service to St. Paul will require
six more daily bus trips (3 morning and 3 evening express trips.) $600,00 per year for
additional buses is needed but is not included in MnDOT's budget. They are also looking
for accessible, vacant or underused land between CR E and Hwy 96 for a park and ride
lot. Tim suggested that Wall Mart be contacted to see if a portion of their lot could be
used. MnDOT is hoping the legislature will provide funds for transit mitigation and asked
the cities to support it.
The I-35E southbound to I-94 eastbound ramp will be shut down about the end of the first
year of construction. This will affect Vadnais Heights, Gem Lake and White Bear Lake.
Gem Lake has submitted a cooperative agreement request for improvements from CR E
to southbound 61.
_ The committee discussed issues related to traffic impacts on local streets as a
consequence of the project. Construction of the LaBore Road connection through
Structural Wood has not been scheduled. Joel said Little Canada's biggest concern is that
Traffic from Highway 96 that will be going down La Bore Road and on to local streets.
Traffic mitigation is still a major concern of the city's, since the Rice Street Bridge is not
scheduled to be done in the near future.
Marc said Ramsey County hasn't officially delayed the Rice Street project, but if
delayed, it will be constructed after Unweave the Weave. MnDOT could rebuild the
interchange when I-694 is expanded to six lanes (maybe in 2013). Glen said he could
address some of Little Canada's concerns.
Bill said ramp closings would require a traffic management plan to address impacts of
diverted traffic on local and county roads. Bill expected that such a plan would have
been done by now. Jeff said the Traffic Control Plan deals with signage, and is not the
same as a Traffic Management Plan. He said that he and Marc would contact the traffic
office and see if someone from that department could attend the February meeting. The
traffic staff will also be at the open house and workshop in Little Canada and Vadnais
Heights.
Tim showed the group the proposed "aesthetic design treatment" for the Edgerton Bridge.
The arrangement of the vertical rails symbolizes waves of grain. The concrete facing
below the railing will be "embossed" with various designs. Special tube lighting will also
be used long the bridge. Rick asked whether green and white directional signs will be
Ir -
hung from the bridge, and pointed out, that if so, they would probably cover much of the
design treatment. Tim said he would make further inquiries into that.
7. I-35 Corridor Study
Rick Arnebeck, MnDOT Area B Manager, gave a brief presentation on the I-35 Corridor
Study from I-694 to Hinckley. He said the corridor is growing and a number of specific
studies have been completed or are underway (He distributed a map showing the various
studies.) MnDOT needs to put a level of coordination to this work and develop an agreed
to vision for the corridor for 2030. MnDOT proposes to inventory recent and active
growth/development/traffic studies; evaluate for overlap/gaps/consistency; coordinate
activities and study work along the corridor. They plan to identify 2030 growth demands
on the transportation system, develop recommendations and design concepts for the
intermediate and long terms and develop an action plan and timeline recommendations.
He said this will need to be a partnership effort to be successful. They hope to begin
study activities and recruit a consultant to provide overall planning and study coordinate
by January. Rick asked that a representative from the I-35E CMT serve on the I-35
oversight committee. It will involve 3 to 4 meetings over the next 18 months. Funding
has been set aside for this. Jim Robinson suggested that Dan Soler repreent the I-35E
CMT on the group. Bill agreed to call him. If Dan doesn't want to participate in this
opportunity Tim said he is willing to serve.
8. Corridor Development
Derek said Gem Lake has not yet received an actual development proposal yet. But the
project is expected to have 20-30 high -end homes on 87 acres; five lots will be on the
lake. The city would need to extend utilities to serve the development. The city did a
traffic study on the Scheunemann Road entrance to highway 61 where the visibility is
poor. Gem Lake and Ramsey County will correct it.
Jim said White Bear Lake has approved the Haskell's Liquor Store next to the Burger
King. The Bremer Bank is open. The former Home Depot site has been sold to Mark of
Excellence Homes for an Office/warehouse development with a retail element. No plan
amendemnt will be needed.
Tim reported that Pat Goff pulled the Arcade estates project and he now wants to do six,
48-unit apartment buildings, four on the eastside of Arcade at Market rate rental, and 2 on
the west side of Arcade (senior housing).
The Green Valley Nursery site north of I-694/1-35E is trying to make drainage work.
MnDOT will help out. 105 units of apartments and 60 townhomes are planned for the
site. According to Tim the only available developable land left in Vadnais Heights is
zoned for multi -family.
N
W
The New Image Fitness site has been sold. No new design has yet been proposed. The
city has been working with the County to improve (signalize) the Kohler Road and CR E
intersection. The County will provide sidewalks on either side of CR E. If the
Centerville trail is approved it will be one of the last trail connections made.
A proposed plan amendment for a 100 unit affordable housing apartment complex at the
end of Talmage Circle is going to the Planning Commission for approval. Tim said even
though the building design looks great, he expects there will be opposition to it. A traffic
analysis per the corridor study will be needed.
In North Oaks Presbyterian Homes is constructing a 72 townhouses and 36 single family
homes.
9. Election of Officers for Next year
Bill and Ann were unanimously elected to serve, respectively, as Chair and Recording
Secretary for the I-35E CMT for 2004.
10. SEH Proposal for Continued Consulting Services
Glen proposed to keep the budget ($4,500) the same for next year. He thinks traffic
mitigation work may be needed and may cost as much as $2000. He will resubmit last
year's resolution to the cities. The goal is to have all participating cities approve the
Jresolution before the February meeting.
11. Other Business and Adjournment
Marc said that in 2009 MnDOT is planning to reconstruct I-35E from I-94 to Maryland.
St. Paul has asked for aesthetic design guidance committee. MnDOT will be requesting
communities to have a representative on it.
Ann mentioned that Georgeanne Hilker is the new Metro Council representative for most
of the cities in the corridor.
There being no other business, the meeting ended at 10:50.

Arm Braden

Memo to Mayor Emeott:
From: Jack Hoeschler, Chairman
Date: February 5, 2004
Re: Gem Lake Planning Commission Meeting of February 3, 2004
The Gem Lake Planning Commission held its regular February meeting at Tousley Ford on Tuesday, February 3,
2004 and all members were present along with Fritz Magnuson and Paul Emeott acting as co -zoning
administrators. Other guests were also present along with the McNulty team.
The first item of business was a report by Mr. Becicka that he is awaiting comments by the City Attorney on his
draft of the adult use ordinance. We expect to review that in further detail once we have those comments.
The next item of business was a review of the McNulty submissions regarding Hillary Farm. There is a formal
application for consideration of a plat showing 3 acre lots throughout except for one lot along Scheuneman Road.
There is another application for a mixed open space, 1acre and 3acre plat which has been submitted in the
alternative. Mr. McNulty briefly described both proposals and then Mr. Magnuson and Mr. Emeott gave their
reviews of the submissions in their roles as co -zoning administrators. The administrators reported that they have
given a letter to Mr. McNulty listing the items needed for his submission to be considered complete and for the 60
day clock to start to run. After a discussion of some of the technical issues raised by the administrative review,
there was a fairly free ranging question and answer session during which several points were made.
The Swomleys stated a strong preference for the straight 3 acre plat approach (Plan B). There was significant
discussion of the City's requirement that septic fields be located at least 200 feet back from the lake. The
Chairman asked Mr. McNulty's engineer to review the impact of having all drain fields back at least 200 feet with
none on the property of a neighbor (as is shown in one case). The impact of the tree ordinance was also
discussed and the Chairman indicated that the Commission preferred to solve the tree issues with the developer
rather than have those issues shifted down to the individual lot buyers who are harder to deal with. Mr. Emeott
spoke in favor of a plan that would have all of the lots served by sewer. Currently the alternative proposal has
sewer but there was concern expressed by several with the one acre lots in that plan. Mr. Wippich suggested that
if the sewer were added to Plan B (the 3 acre lot plan), perhaps the easterly half of the alternative plan could be
grafted onto Plan B with the result that the open space in the SE quarter would be retained, some one acre or
some duplex lots could be shown in the NE quarter and the rest of the Plat would have 3 acre lots as shown on
Plan B. This would result in a total lot count of 31, sewer for all, open space along Sheuneman Road, and large
lots along the lake and the westerly boundary that would be consistent with existing patterns there. Mr. Hoeschler
and Mr. Emeott stated that that approach was what they had suggested in earlier meetings with the McNulty
team. There was some enthusiasm for this approach expressed by others but Mr McNulty is yet to be heard from
in this regard.
The next meeting on this subject will be a formal public hearing on the 181th of February followed by the regular
March meeting. We had to leave due to the closing of the building shortly after 9 pm.

PUBLIC HEARING MINUTES - HILLARY FARM SUBDIVISION
Memo to: Paul Emeott
From: Jack Hoeschler, Chair
Re: Gem Lake Planning Commission Meeting February 18, 2004
Date: February 19, 2004
The Gem Lake Planning Commission held a special meeting at 7 pm on
Wednesday, February 18, 2004 at Tousley Ford pursuant to published notice
to receive public comments regarding the McNulty proposals for the Bemis
Property (Hillary Farm at Gem Lake). All members except Mrs. Robins
were present along with Messrs. Emeott and Magnuson as co -zoning
administrators. Numerous members of the public were also present along
with Mr. McNulty and members of his team.
The Chairman opened the meeting by giving a brief description of the nature
and status of the process, the way the meeting will be conducted and an
introduction of key individuals. He then asked Mr. McNulty to give a brief
overview of his primary (25 lots mostly 3 acres except for the estate lot and
one 36,000 SF lot on Scheuneman) and alternative (49 units on 33 lots)
proposals, which he did. Mr. Emeott then gave a brief report on the
VLAWMO review of the project (which urged use of public sanitary sewer
instead of septic systems, monumented no -cut areas around wetlands, and
avoiding any impact on wetlands by driveways).
Various residents then asked questions and/or raised a number of points
including the following:
• The open space provided in the alternate plan will not be public but
rather owned and maintained by the Home Owners Association. After
30 years there is some risk that that use may change. The claimed
open space (42.9 acres) seriously overstates the reality.
• The so-called open space plan places the houses too close to the golf
course and this will likely result in conflicts from errant balls.
• Each lot will generate about 10 trips per day (per the developer's
engineer) and thus the traffic on Scheuneman Road will increase by
about 25%. It was suggested that is possible that the two entries and
the additional traffic will actually slow traffic on Scheuneman.
J
• The developer confirmed that only riparian lots would have access to
the Lake. The present irrigation pump from the lake will be removed
and the duck pond south of the main house will be filled by the well at
the main house.
• The so-called open space plan will have 49 homes on 33 lots and most
attendees were unhappy with that type of density even though it
would have public sewer and leave the southeast quadrant
undeveloped.
• The prospect or danger of further subdivision of the three acre lots on
the primary plan was raised and briefly discussed.
• Bryan Hansen spoke strongly in favor of the need for public sewer but
said that he thought the developer was capable of a better plan.
A straw vote of the public present at the meeting was held to get an
indication of whether any of the various proposals had predominant support.
It was clear that a vast majority of the public present preferred the standard 3
acre proposal over the more dense alternatives.
The chairman announced that the public hearing would be continued to the
Council meeting next Monday, February 23, to allow others to express their
opinions on this important project. The Planning Commission will meet
again on Tuesday, March 3, to begin detailed discussions of the terms of a
Developer's Agreement and other requirements for any development. He
indicated that there would be more detailed analysis of the implications of
the septic system proposal for the 3 acre layout since there was great concern
that we not be simply delaying greater problems later.

CITY OF GEM LAKE
MINUTES OF PUBLIC HEARING
Continued From 18 February 2004
23 February 2004
A Public Hearing initially convened on 18 February 2004 before the Gem Lake Planning Commission
and continued to this date by Planning Chairman Hoeschler was called to order by Mayor Emeott on
Monday, 23 February 2004, at 7:07 PM in the first floor meeting room of Tousley Ford. Mayor Emeott,
Councilors Igo, Watson, Bosak and Birkebak, and Clerk Magnuson were present. Also present were Chair-
man Hoeschler and Mr. Lindner of the Planning Commission, Mr. McNulty and his consultants and several
members of the community as listed on the attached.
Mayor Emeott then made opening comments stating, for the record, that this hearing is a continuation
of the hearing originally convened before the Planning Commission to insure all interested members of the
Gem Lake community had opportunity to be heard regarding the proposed subdivision of Hillary Farm by
McNulty Construction Company. Mayor Emeott stated that Mr. McNulty has been working diligently to
present alternative plans for the site for the consideration of the Planning Commission and City Council.
Mayor Emeott then presented the Agenda for the continuation of the public hearing. Motion by
Birkebak, Second by Igo to approve the Agenda for the Public Hearing was unanimously approved
The Clerk reported that the Notice of Public Hearing was duly published in the 04 February 2004
edition of the White Bear Press and that direct mail notification required for the proceeding had been com-
pleted coincidental to the legal notice publication.
Mayor Emeott then indicated that while the required hearing for a subdivision was held before the
Planning Commission, Bryan Hansen indicated at the January City Council meeting that he felt the City
Council and not the Planning Commission should receive public comment. Following receipt of Mr.
Hansen's comments, the City Council determined additional time to hear the matter could be made avail-
able on this date. The primary purpose of this continuation of the hearing is to receive comments from those
1 who were not heard or could not attend the 18 February 2004 hearing.
Mr. McNulty then presented to those present his concept plans identified as Plan `B", Plan "D" and
Open Space Plan for discussion noting differences as well as the opportunities and challenges of both plans.
Mayor Emeott then recognized Councilor Watson who asked for clarification of intent to sewer each
or all plans to which McNulty responded only "D" and Open Space provided for sewer and "B" utilized
ISTS. Bill John asked if any record of a 65' easement along the south edge of the golf course had been
addressed and was advised that no such easement exists according to title searches ordered by McNulty.
Bill John asked if zoning changes would be required for "D" or Open Space and the answer was yes. Bill
John indicated he preferred the 3 acre zoning approved in recent years by the City but also supported bring-
ing
the sewer into the plan. Bill John also has concerns as he only recently replaced his ISTS and would not
want additional costs at this time. Gary and Mary Limborg asked if road alignment with Scheuneman Road
could be done in such a manner as to avoid direct headlights into homes on the east side of Scheuneman
Road to which McNulty responded yes this will be considered and can be accommodated.
Discussion of traffic counts at approximately 250 trips per day (10 trips per day for 25 homes) for "B"
clarified concerns by Hanson and corrected Hoeschler's notes regarding the hearing on 18 February 2004.
Magnuson further noted that changes to Scheuneman Road would be Ramsey County concerns as they have
not met Gem Lake's criteria for turn backs which, in turn, would allow for restructuring traffic patterns.
Discussion of golf course concerns regarding potential damage to homes was discussed and warrants
considerations of set -backs.
Bosak discussed sewer versus density and alignment to avoid adverse impact on current residents
Hoeschler noted the City Engineer has recommended installation of sewer for all plans due to environ-
mental concerns. Emeott noted similar concerns from VLAWMO along with concerns over bituminous
curbs and buffers at wetlands to avoid fertilizer and other pollutants. Discussion of the possibility of an
Environmental Assessment Worksheet followed as both the City Engineer and VLAWMO thought this
Page 3 of 4
might be considered depending upon sewer and other considerations. Roger Anderson, McNulty's engineer
stated that an EAW would be a waste of time and money and noted our Ordinance provides for the use of
ISTS in 3 acre R-1 Residential Districts. Mr. McNulty moved that his application be declared complete,
that soils are adequate for ISTS and can be done in accordance with City ordinances.
Bill John asked why mound systems were shown, stating he believed these were used primarily in
areas where soils would not support standard ISTS. Roger Anderson responded that plans for mounds were
included as worst case scenarios and that where in ground systems were appropriate they would be em-
ployed. John then indicated a preference for 3 acre zoning and sewer.
Ken Defiel was recognized and supported John's comments.
Magnuson noted verbal comments received by Jule Hannaford, trustee for Jack Hannaford's property.
Magnuson noted that only Hanson has submitted written comments regarding traffic discussed earlier.
There being no further business, the Public Hearing was adjourned at 8:15 pm.

The Minutes of December 18, 2003, were approved as written.
APPROVAL OF 2004 MEETING SCHEDULE & AGENDAS
The 2004 Meeting Schedule & Agendas was approved as submitted. Schwerm
noted that all meetings will begin at 8:00 a.m.
800 MHz
Luey reported that he is a member of an 800 MHz team, whose purpose is to
advise the County Board. He encouraged the cities to let Paul Kirkwald, Project
Manager, Ramsey County 800 MHz, know of their level of service concerns
relating to consolidation of the communication center. He noted that there is a
strict timeline for the 800 MHz, which is linked to a grant. He stated that he
believes that there is a March or April deadline to advise the Policy Committee on
the number of recommended dispatch centers.
Urban noted that he likes the idea of a potential link to other counties in the Metro
area.
Minutes
Sheriff Contract Group Meeting
January 22, 2004
The Group advised Luey to let them know if he needs representation from any of
the contract communities or elected officials.
Schwerm noted that their Fire Chief is opposed to a consolidated communication
center. Schwerm stated his opinion that if Maplewood and White Bear Lake still
want their own communication centers, it is a service decision for them, however
they should implement 800 MHz.
TRAFFIC DEPUTY YEAR END REPORT
Deputy Tim Entner distributed the Year -End Traffic Report. He reminded the
Group that there will not be a Safe & Sober Grant next year. He stated that he
will be able to reapply for the grant for an additional three years, after taking one
year off. He reported that he won another laser (approximately $3,500.00
value), through a prize drawing.
Urban requested information on cameras that are mounted at intersections,
suggesting their effectiveness, if only for warnings (i.e. the running of red lights).
Schwerm noted that private companies have been hired in other states, to take
photos, identifying problem intersections. Altendorfer cited the public debate
with regard to how much monitoring is being done.
There was discussion with regard to the effectiveness of large speed boards.
Altendorfer noted that electricity must be available to plug in these units. It was
stated that the boards on Snelling Avenue are very effective in slowing traffic
down to the speed change. Altendorfer felt that the boards would be more
appropriate on County roads where there is higher volume. He will check on the
cost of the boards, including smaller, portable units with batteries.
Altendorfer discussed the possibility of replacement of one of the older speed
carts, stating concern about high maintenance costs. He reported that the oldest
cart is nine or ten years old, and that the new carts are less expensive, more
efficient, easier to set up, and more user friendly. He stated that he will continue
to explore the purchase and look for funding.
Portable speed boards that can be attached to the back of a squad cars were
discussed. Their cost is believed to be approximately $3,000.00 — $3,500.00.
These boards must be attached to something, and most agencies put them on a
back-up squad car and park it somewhere. Entner stated that he will check with
the City of Blaine where he believes that their Public Works Department has
installed posts in different areas where they place speed boards as needed. He
will report back at a future meeting.
It was noted that the budget reflects savings calculated to a 0% increase for
2005, due to salary projections based on less senior personnel, as the years of
service will drop.
2
Minutes
Sheriff Contract Group Meeting
January 22, 2004
Urban asked about the calculations used for the gas budget. Altendorfer
explained that they are usually based on the previous year, with a small
increase.
FOURTH QUARTER CRIME STATISTICS
Altendorfer distributed the Fourth Quarter Crime Statistic Report. He noted that
mail theft and theft from autos are both up again, which is primarily associated
with identity theft.
Short reported that he had just viewed a commercial on identity theft where it
was recommended to place mail in the blue boxes, and not to place it in your
own mail box with the flag up.
It was reported that the Post Office has been eliminating mail drop boxes. Urban
suggested that this be a future agenda topic, and that the postmasters be invited
to a meeting.
Altendorfer reviewed some of the current cases under investigation, reporting
that the Investigations Unit is nearing completion of the Thomas Cady homicide
in Little Canada, which he noted has over 1,000 hours of investigative effort. He
reviewed the recent armed robbery at the Arden Hills TCF, reporting that a
similar incidents have been occurring throughout the metro area, and a suspect
has been identified.
ARDEN HILLS POLICE SERVICE
Wolfe reported that the Arden Hills Council Members will discuss their next step
at an annual retreat this Friday and Saturday. She stated that she should know
the steps on Monday, and if they will need the additional 30 days. She noted
that last weeks presentation by the Sheriff's Department went well and that the
City Council was receptive to the information.
Altendorfer noted that if Arden Hills chooses to leave the Group, it will result in
serious staffing issues, since it involves seven positions.
LONG RANGE PLANNING
The Group decided that this matter should be discussed after Arden Hills decides
if they are still going to be a part of the Contract Group. It was suggested that it
be scheduled on the April agenda.
Urban suggested that each community think about what they feel will be needed
during the next five years.
