Tax Accounting section of Ramsey County. A slide pre-
sentation was shown which explained how values for
assessing purposes are determined. C.A.P.A. stands
for Computer Assisted Property Appraisal. One of the
features of the system is the utilization of a computer
to determine neighborhood bounderies and to compare
computer results with actual sales results. The use
of this will assure more reliable, accurate and readily
accessible information on all appraisals will be avail-
able and used. The increase of the value used for tax
calculation is limited to (1) loo more than last years
limited value or (2) 25o of the difference between last
years limited value and this years estimated market
value whichever is greater.
After the side presentation a question and answer period

Mayor Warkentien brought up for discussion the problem ROC-A-FELLAS
in the area around Roc-A-Fellas, 1544 W. Larpenteur,
as there have been complaints from surrounding businesses,
of people gathering in the parking lot. Mayor Warkentien
also introduced Capt. Fred Spencer, from the Ramsey County
Sheriff Dept.
Capt. Spencer explained they had received a report of a
rumble between two schools, and they had picked the area
behind the amusement center to meet.
Clerk Administrator Barnes summarized the complaints that
had been received in this office from residents and
businesses in the area. Some of the problems involved
are: hanging around in the parking lot, running through
alleys, smoking in alleys and parking lot. Smoking is not
allowed inside the amusement center at this time, also,
some reports of drinking in the area. Shakey's Pizza
complained they were shooting craps in the alley and playing
poker. Also, at a businessmens luncheon, some of the area
businessmen made known problems that have come up in the
area after the amusement center opened, they are reluctant
to stay open at night because of the groups that do hang
around in the parking lot. People are refusing to come
to sewing classes, etc in the area, so the businesses have
been closing early. If there is some way to curtail the
activities in the parking lot, it would help the situation.
Clerk Administrator Barnes also noted that Mr. James Rutzick,
owner of Roc-A-Fellas had come into the office and explained
they had retained an off-duty policeman to be there in the
evenings.
Capt. Spencer noted there has always been a problem of
drinking, etc. in that parking lot and is a regularly patroled
area, as there had been reports of drinking, etc. at the
bowling alley on the steps. When they leave the parking area
they do go through alleys and across lots in the area.
Mayor Warkentien invited the owner and manager of Roc-A-Fells
to speak before council if they cared to, not in defense of
any accusations, but to relate to council their feelings in
the matter.
Mr. Rutzick informed council the measures they have taken to
try and correct the problems. Mr. Rutzick noted that before
they were open, while they were decorating and painting,
there were groups of kids back in the lot then and they were
told by Mr. Rutzick that after they opened, they would not
be allowed back there. They considered setting an age limit,
to see if that would help, for example, after 7:00 p. m.
17 years and up only, or consider a smoking area, as this is
part of the problem. There has not been a problem inside,
just outside the building.

Mayor Warkentien questioned whether the eviction of one
party could have caused the trouble to start, with that
party bringing back friends.
Mr. Rutzick called upon his manager, Mr. Bill Schmidt
to explain that particular incident. Mr. Schmidt stated
that at no point was anyone asked to leave in a manner
that would cause them to bring anyone back for a rumble
or that sort of thing, at least not to his knowledge.
There was an incident where Officer Dittle asked a party
to leave the area and did become belligerent with Officer
Dittle.
Councilman Black wanted to know the hours and days the
officer would be on duty.
Mr. Schmidt stated they are making up a schedule. At
the present time they start at 7:00 p.m. and stay
until 10:00 or 11:00 depending on how busy they are.
Right now the schedule is irregular and based on the
amount of business there is on the weekend nights.
~ Councilman Black requested a written schedule to be
on file in the Clerk's office and also questioned if
the officer was inside the building or outside.
Mr. Schmidt stated the officer is located at the rear
of the building where he can observe the parking lot
to keep loitering down and also observe the activities
inside.
Councilman McGough noted he did not feel the amusement
center was the cause of the problem in the lot. He also
stated he did not feel it was fair to hold Roc-A-Fellas
guilty or not guilty on something that happened in the
parking lot. Councilman McGough suggested that the
officer hired not be one of our regular patrolmen from
the city.
Councilman Steele made known he had voted against the
amusement center and feels it is a bad influence on the
community. He also noted he had observed the parking
lot between the hours of 9:15 p.m. and 10:15 p.m. He
observed several patrons coming from their establishment,
not the bowling alley or Shakey's. At one point by
Wondra's, there were 12 young boys and about 15 young
boys by the old ~pplebaums. Also, in front of the
building, there were 6 young people about 14 years of
age smoking where there is no control and going back
inside.. Councilman Steele again expressed his concern
of the influence the establishment has in the neighbor-
hood.

Mr. Schmidt stated that he is there all the time and
on more than one occasion he has seen beer drinking
behind Lee's Billiards and walked down to talk to
the gentleman there and asked if he was aware of it.
He was told that it goes on all the time. Mr. Schmidt
then asked the group to leave and informed Ramsey
County Sheriff Dept. of it. Also, when encountering
young people smoking, he does stop it and requests they
bring their parents down and inform him they have consent
to smoke, which of course they don't.
Mayor Warkentien noted that there was nothing in our
ordinance to deny the license at the time of appli-
cation.
Mr. Harold Nilsen stated that he had visited both
businesses owned by Mr. Rutzick and found them neat and
orderly. He also suggested that allocating a space for
smokers may cut down the congestion outside and also
control the age of the smokers. It is now posted -
No smoking - No Drinking - No loitering.
Mr. Nilsen also stated he noticed cars parked every
which way in the parking lot and not in slots like they
should be. With respect to the fire lane, this poses
a problem and something should be done about it. Also,
ensure the parking lot is well lit..
Ms Judy Jensen - 1906 Sheldon, stated her objections to
the establishment as she felt it draws in the wrong type
of people. Also, if 13 and 14 year olds are smoking,
that is breaking the law and suggested they be taken in
hand at that time.
Councilman Black noted that as far as arresting kids
for smoking, when our schools put aside a smoking area
for kids, it would be pretty hard to arrest them and
uphold that law.
Mayor Warkentien suggested that Capt. Spencer, Clerk
Administrator Barnes and the owner 8 manager of
Roc-A-Fellas get together and come up with a workable
solution to the problem.
Councilman McGough commented on behalf of a friend,
that just happened to be last years foosball champion,
and as there was a comment made about the type of people,
"the worst type of people", this fellow is 27 years old,
a lawyer, makes $56,000 a year and you couldn't find a
better citizen than he is. Councilman McGough did not
feel you could blanket a whole group by just a few bad
ones.

was keeping a record of all complaints, day, hour, etc.

Mayor Warkentien called to order at 9:00 p. m. the
St. Anthony Storm Sewer second public hearing. Clerk
Administrator Barnes called roll call of council. All
were in attendance.
Mr. Greg McElroy, Ramsey County Grants Society addressed
the council and the public in attendance at the second
hearing of the St. Anthony Storm Sewer project. Mr.
McElroy stated he was"Tthe meeting to briefly explain
the project and how we arrived at this point, the
possible funding that came about. The money would be
coming from HUD (Housing and Urban Development). We
would be coming under a single purpose grant. We are
addressing ourselves to one particular need, in this
case, the storm sewer. The amount of the grant we are
requesting is $750,000. This is the maximum that we
can apply for, for this type of project. We are doing
this jointly with Ramsey County, we can get an extra
$150,000 that way. There are proceedures to follow
and one is filing a pre-application after having two
public hearings, this being the second and last hearing
before the pre-application. At this point we are

to see what the possibilities are of getting the funding
from various agencies and get input which is required by
HUD.
Engineer Brad Lemberg addressed those in attendance
and presented a slide presentation on the project
and how it will affect Falcon Heights in the areas
involved as shown in the 1957 report.
Mayor Warkentien asked those in attendance if they
had any questions of the council, engineer or
Mr. McElroy.
Mr. Rubinger questioned the engineer on the per-
centages that the U of M and Fairgounds are partici-
pating in and are they participating at the same rate
as all the residents involved in Falcon Heights?
The participation is based on a run-off factor, and
under the proposed usage of land. Business zoned
would have a different scale used that agricultural
zoning.
Mr. Rubinger questioned what the difference would
be, 3~ a square foot or what?

Engr Lemberg stated the normal run-off factor on ENGINEER
residential properties is approx. 450, on business BRAD LEMBERG
property, a 90% run-off factor is used due to the
area covered by hard surface. But the amount of
.concentration must be looked at to determine the
run-off factor. The cost per square foot, based
on the runn-off factor of 45o would be 3~ a sq.ft.
and a 90o run-off factor, would be 6~ a sq. ft.
Mr. Rubinger questioned Mr. McElroy regarding the AL RUBINGER
holding of 350 of the funds and requested a
clarification on that.
Mr. McElroy explained that in a single purpose grant MR. McELROY
they are setting aside 350 of the available funds for
this type of project, where the comprehensive plan is
setting aside 65o and this has come through the
legislature. That may change, but that is the way
they have it set up at the present time.
Mr. Rubinger asked how acurate the figures are, as
at times they can be way out of line at the final
figuring. They always seem to run higher, never
lower.
The original estimate was made in 1963, brought up
to date in 1970, 1974 and now April, 1978. At this
point that is as far as it can be extended. These
are estimated figures in order to apply for the grant,
no figures have been settled on. No one is committed
until the final contract is let on the project. If
the project were approved, there would be several
hearings before any bids can be approved.
Councilman Steele noted, assuming we go with the
project, is there a projection as to what the cost
would be? If the grant goes through at a fixed
price and costs go higher, is the grant increased?
Ii
~~
No, the grant would be a fixed figure, if costs go
higher, the City would have a larger share to pay.
In regard to runoff, you are talking 3~ a square foot,
typically, if you have a large driveway and parking
lot, do they figure double the whole square footage
(900) or how do .they figure that?

It can go to an extreme in measuring, the lot, the ENGR. LEMBERG
roof, grass area, etc. to determine just how much run-
off would result from an apartment complex. Normally
what is done, is an average of the whole lot is taken,
Normally you set residential, commercial 8 agricultural
rates. Apartments are considered commercial, at a 900
runoff rate. These estimates are based on a straight
3~ per square foot. A more detailed study would have
to be made at a later date on how much area is surfaced
and how much is not, if the project is approved.
Mr Boyd noted that the residents of his apartments would
end up paying the assessment in increased rent they
would have to pay and some of his. people are retired on
a fixed income and could cause some difficulties for
them. He also questioned why the project did not go
through 8 to 10 years ago.
Engr Lemberg replied that the reason being, we were un-
able to get funding as we possibly get now, as without
the funding we could not assess the properties for the
amount required, the cost would have been prohibitive
for the City.
Is the amount of the grant negotiable or not and in DICK WINKS
what terms? 1825 Fairview
No it is not. MR. McELROY
Mr. Winke wanted to kow about the standing water in
his back yard, it is only there a short time and then
goes away.
Part of it goes down into the ditches, part into the ENGR. LEMBERG
pond and soaks into the ground.
On this runoff factor, is that measured in early spring DICK WINKS
when the ground is still frozen, is there more runoff
then than later after the ground thaws out and can
sink into the ground.
It is determined on an unthawed condition and not full ENGR. LEMBERG
saturation point. This is just surface runoff. It is
the same runoff factor the soil conservation dept.
uses.

If it were proven that the runoff factor is other than DICK WINKS
what the assessment is based on that can be taken through
normal channels and appealed to the other factor if it
can be demonstrated. For instance agricultural land
has a lower assessment on runoff value .than your normal
lot or commercial runoff. If a commercial property can
demonstrate their runoff factor is the same as a home lot,
will they be assessed on that basis?
I would assume so, basically the commercials are normally ENGR
assessed at a different rate because of the large amount LEMBERG
of surfaced area.
~~
Now we know where the average citizen stands, what about HAROLD NILSEN
the U of M and State Fairgrounds? What is their commit-
ment of funds?
They have not reported any more that west was discussed at
the. lases meeting we h.ad. The University-feels or did
feel they had everything financed and we are going to
have to convince theme that this is construction costs
and of course it has to go to the Regents, but my appeal
is to Prof. Donald Drown, Finance Director. I think the
State Fairgrounds does have some benefits, they have some
doubt as to their connection cost in the Como-Stella area
connection. Of course that is something they .will have
to negotiate later with the City of St. Paul as well as
the University. I did inquire of St. Paul and I believe
it was $1,200,000 the U of M has already paid to the City
of St. Paul for that connection.

On the pre-application we do not have any commttment of MR. McELROY
monies, if we are accepted on our pre-application, then on
the final application we will need the committment.
Mr. Rubinger question Engr. Lemberg on the change of
aprartments from residential to commercial property.,
therefore raising the assessment cost. You said that
we would be assessed as commercial tonight.
What I was trying to emphisis is that, first of all,
there has been no proceedure set up. In many cases,
commercial because of the type of runoff that they have,
would be assessed at a double or commercial rate, it it
is double the runoff as residential. There has been
nothing set up, the estimate that we have right now
is based strickly on the same amount per square foot
throughout the area. _

Councilman McGough noted his interest in the project
and said he had taken the amount of land Mr. Rubinger
owned and figuring that at 3~ a square foot the
assessment would come out at an estimated rate of
$6,522.24, figuring the apartment units over a five
year period, it would be 86~ per unit per month for
five years, now if that were doubled, it would be $1.72
per unit per month for five years. To give you and idea,
my particular lot in Falcon Heights would be a little
over $5.00 per month for five years. I'm not trying
to compare apartments to single family dwellings, I'm
just pointing out the maximum and minimum. This is a
computation per dwelling unit I have estimated the
breakdown on.
I just wondered if there is an engineering possibility
of bringing some of the water more directly down into
the sand, this area has a lot of sand. If there were
feasible ways of doing this, at a number of spots,
that might greatly reduce the total amount of runoff.
I'm still bothered by the fact that we bring the run-
off into these pipes and down to the river, I'm just
wondering if the cause of the low water table is due
to to much drainage.
I agree that it is a good idea to try and replace our
natural water resources. However, the State Health
Dept. frowns on it. What you are looking at is
normally called an inverted well. I know of only one
that is operating at the present time. The reason they
do not allow it is because of the pollution problem
of the ground water table and we are very fortunate
being on top of an underground lake. In an area such
as this, we probably wouldn't have any problem, but
if they allowed it in some areas, they would have to
do so in others and this they can not do.
In my back yard I have a natural inverted well that
drains off an area of about 4 to 5 acres and I have
water standing there a day maybe two depending on
how long it takes the frost to go out. So that at
least on a natural basis, what happens when you run
a line through it and disrupt the gravel layer under-
neath, is it going to seal up, are we going to have
a problem that has not occured before.

Your lines would only be 12" to 36" tiles down on
Larpenteur Avenue, looking at an average 7' depth.
Trench being 15' to 20' wide at the widest point
and the 12" line will be quite shallow. Some of
these things are figured into the estimates on the
runoff,"that is why we say a 45o runoff, the rest
is going into the ground. These flooding problems
that we have are not in the middle of summer .when
the ground is thawed out, but rather when we get
the quick thaws in the spring time.
How do you reconcile your runoff on a non-saturated
soil and non-frozen condition when the problem
occurs maybe on a frozen soil.
Again, these are based on various storm amounts
of water coming down. I believe these were figured
on a 25 or 50 year storm, last year we had three 100
year statistical storms, you have to allow some
temporary ponding in some streets and low areas and
this type of thing. So these are figures that are
used to come up with some sort of economical, feasible
system based on a lot of different figures.
