The City That Soars!
Item Lauderdale Plowing Proposal
Description
The City of Lauderdale has reached out to the City of Falcon Heights to see if we
could provide plowing services for our neighboring community. Ramsey County,
who once plowed both Lauderdale and Falcon Heights, has indicated to Lauderdale
that they will not be able to offer plowing services for the 2022 season.
Staff has reviewed the requirements with Lauderdale, and we believe it is well within
our capacity to provide plowing services. The proposed contract accounts for labor,
equipment, salt, depreciation and overhead costs associated with providing the
service. Unlike the previous fire contract, Lauderdale will not be asked to participate
in capital equipment purchases as that cost is built in to the contract.
Lauderdale is understanding that the priority of plowing would be that the West
Plow would finish routes in Falcon Heights (University Grove / Falcon Woods /
Lindig / Tatum) before beginning in Lauderdale.
Lauderdale Public Works would be responsible for any sidewalk, clean up, or other
services.
Budget
Impact
The contract would bring unanticipated revenue in 2022. The proposed starting fee
for services will be $24,300, with an annual increase of 2.5% or CPI, whichever is
greater.

Administrative Manual Section VII
D. GUIDELINES FOR SNOW AND ICE CONTROL
1. Introduction
The City of Falcon Heights believes that it is in the best interest of the public for the city
to assume basic responsibility for control of snow and ice on city streets. Reasonable ice
and snow control is necessary for routine travel and emergency services. The city will
provide this in a safe and cost effective manner, keeping in mind safety, budget,
personnel and environmental concerns. City crews remove snow on local streets, streets
designated by contract within the City of Lauderdale, some public pathways, designated
city parking lots at City Hall, Community Park and Curtiss Field, and ice rinks.
2. Commencement of Operations
The city’s Public Works Director will decide when to begin snow or ice control
operations on city streets. The criteria for that decision are:
a. Accumulation of 2 inches or more, with continual snowfall,
warrants commencement of plowing operations;
b. Drifting of snow may warrant partial or full operations
depending on conditions;
c. Icing of pavements may warrant partial or full sanding
operation depending on conditions;
d. Time of snowfall in relationship to anticipated level of use
of streets.
Snow and ice control operations are expensive due to personnel and equipment costs.
Consequently, street snowplowing operations will not generally be conducted for
snowfalls of less than 2 inches.
3. Procedures
Snow will be plowed in a manner so as to minimize any traffic obstructions. The snow
shall be pushed from left to right. The discharge shall go onto the boulevard area of the
right-of-way without regard for driveways or sidewalks.
It is the city’s goal to have the entire street system cleared after a “typical” snowfall in
approximately 5 hours. Depending on snowfall conditions, duration of the storm,
equipment and personnel, cleanup operations can fluctuate.
Page 2 of 5
One of the most frequent and most irritable problems in removal of snow from the public
streets is the snow deposited in driveways during plowing operations. Snow being
accumulated on the plow blade has no place to go but in the driveway. It is not possible
to comply with special requests or conduct special maneuvers in attempt to minimize
snow in driveways.
4. Priorities and Schedules
a. Street snowplowing
The city has designated Prior Ave. (off of Larpenteur Ave.) and Garden Ave.
(Hamline to Snelling Aves.) as top priorities. This classification is based on need
to provide access for emergency vehicle fire and medical services and for access
to the elementary school. Clearing of these streets is followed by the following
neighborhoods subject to weather conditions, weather forecasts, equipment, and
availability of crews.
Typical routes if equipment and crews are available:
East Plow West Plow
1. Northome 1. University Grove
2. Northeast 2. Falcon Woods
3. Snelling West 3. Lindig/Tatum
4. Hollywood Court 4. Lauderdale
b. City Hall parking lot
Clearing of snow from the city hall parking lot will be the first priority of the
work week day for the Parks/Public Works staff. Evening and weekend snow
removal will be done at the discretion of the Public Works Director based on
scheduled meetings and facility rentals.
c. Public pathways
There are approximately 6 miles of paved public pathways for commuter and
recreational pedestrian use. The city will plow all trails and sidewalks that abut
city property and parks as conditions permit, as well as the areas along Larpenteur
Avenue that are zoned Residential as indicated on the map in Appendix A.
Conditions that challenge the crews ability to clear snow include: 1) recurring
snowfalls resulting in snow accumulation; 2) drifting; 3) limited space for snow
storage and 4) availability and condition of the equipment. Pathway clearing is
conducted by the Parks/Public Works staff between 8:00 am and 4:00 pm. A map
of sidewalks and trails in included as Appendix A to these guidelines.
Page 3 of 5
d. Ice Skating Rinks
Ice rinks are maintained for the recreational pleasure of the community. Given
the high level of community use of the rinks outside of the traditional workday
and workweek, rinks are kept free of snow and open for use during these times.
Removal of snow from the ice rinks will be done at the discretion of the Public
Works Director. Generally, if a “weekend” snowfall should occur and cease prior
to noon Sunday, an attempt will be made to clear the rinks and make them
available for the weekend. Generally, if a “weekday” snowfall ceases prior to
4:00 p.m., an attempt will be made to make the rinks available for the evening.
Consideration of the following factors will be given in the scheduling of ice
rink snow removal: condition of pathways (passable), current weather conditions
and forces (favorable for skating).
5. Use of Sand and Salt
The city limits the use of sand and salt because it can have adverse effect on the
environment. Application is limited to steep grades, curves and intersections and is not
intended to provide for widespread bare pavement during winter conditions. The city is
not responsible for damage to grass caused by the sand/salt mixture and therefore will not
make repairs or compensate residents for salt damage to turf areas in the right-of-way.
6. Property Damage
Snowplowing and ice control operations can cause property damage even under the best
of circumstances and care on the part of the operators. The most common types of
damage are to improvements in the right-of-way which extends about 10 to 15 feet
beyond the curb. The intent of the right-of-way is to provide room for snow storage,
utilities, sidewalks and other city uses. The city will assume no liability for personal
property that is stored in the right-of-way. Damage to fences, trees or other structures will
be repaired or replaced by the city if they are on private property and if the damage could
have been avoided. Turf that is scraped or gouged by plow equipment will be repaired by
top dressing and seeding the following spring if the damage could be avoided. Residents
are requested to assist by watering the areas that are repaired. The city will assume
liability for mailboxes damaged during plowing, if it is determined that the plow made
direct contact with a mailbox. If a mailbox is damaged due to indirect contact, including
the force of snow, the city assumes no responsibility. Final cleaning adjacent to
mailboxes is the responsibility of each property owner.
7. Fire Hydrants
Each of the 150 or so fire hydrants scattered throughout the city are equipped with a
marker for the purpose of providing increased visibility during the winter season. In
addition, the city will encourage residents to keep hydrants clear of snow. Hydrants at
Page 4 of 5
major intersections and covered by heavy snow from plows will be kept accessible as
needed and as feasible with city crews and equipment.
8. Parking Restrictions
Providing quality snow removal on city streets requires the street to be free of vehicles or
other obstacles. Vehicles left parked on the street for extended periods of time created
significant operational problems for snowplow operators as well as safety problems due
to packed snow and ice remaining on the roadway around the vehicle.
Parking on city streets is not allowed after a 2 inch accumulation of snow. Vehicles must
remain off the streets for up to 48 hours or until a street have been plowed full-width,
whichever comes first. In the instance that streets have been plowed but an additional 2
inches or more of snowfall occurs, vehicles must remain off the street (see City Code
Section 46-28). Any vehicle parked in violation of the City Code is subject to a parking
citation and is also declared to be a public nuisance. This nuisance may be abated by
removing and towing away vehicles under the direction of the Ramsey County Sheriff’s
Department.
From November 15 to April 1, residents may park one passenger vehicle on the
unsurfaced portion of their front yard. This provision only applies to properties with a
single-width driveway. The vehicle must be parked parallel to the driveway (see City
Code Section 113-310).
9. Responsibility of Property Owners
Residents and/or their contracted snow removal company must keep all snow on the
private property. It is a public nuisance to shovel or plow snow into or across the streets
or alleys.
Clearing of alleyways is the responsibility of property owners adjacent to the alley. The
alley must be cleared within 24 hours after snowfall has ended. Residents are encouraged
to manage the alley with one contractor so as to have a uniform plowing.
Some sidewalks in the city must be cleared by the adjacent property owners (see
Appendix A). Public sidewalks must be cleared of snow and ice within 24 hours after a
storm has ended. Failure to do so is a public nuisance. City staff will monitor the
sidewalks and will leave door hangers to remind residents of the sidewalk snow removal
regulations. Sidewalks that are not cleared in the appropriate timeframe may be cleared
by city staff or a contracted party. The cost of abatement will be billed to the property
owner (see City Code Section 22-48). In only the most extreme instances will City staff
provide a courtesy plow of sidewalks that are not usually maintained by the City.
If snow removal occurs during a day of trash collection, receptacles awaiting pickup
should be set back at least two feet behind the curb line, not in the street.
Page 5 of 5
10. Information and Comments
Comments and complaints will be taken during normal working hours at city hall.
Complaints that warrant a short term response will typically be responded to within 24
hours of receiving the complaint, whenever feasible to do so.

Item Path/Sidewalk Maintenance Map
Description
Larpenteur Avenue
The City of Falcon Heights has sidewalks that run parallel to Larpenteur Avenue from
Hamline Avenue to Coffman Street on the south and Fulham Street on the north. These sidewalks service residential and commercial uses as well as the State Fair and the University of Minnesota.
Larpenteur Avenue is a County Road. It is classified as an A-Minor Arterial road
which contains four drive lanes servicing thousands of cars a day, approximately 17,200 in 2015 per the City of Falcon Heights Comprehensive Plan. For snow removal on Larpenteur Avenue, Ramsey County maintains a clear pavement, curb to curb policy. Due to the little, or no, boulevard on Larpenteur Avenue the snow storage for Larpenteur Avenue is de facto the sidewalk.
Currently, the City requires and specifies that all property owners must remove all snow and ice off the sidewalks within 24 hours of the end of a snow event. Generally, there must not be snow or ice on the sidewalk per the City’s nuisance ordinance.
Larpenteur Avenue presents unique challenges to this requirement. The narrow boulevard places most, if not all, ice and snow from all four lanes on the sidewalk. The
volume of snow and ice is a great burden for property owners who do not have
professional or commercial grade equipment. Additionally, the City has been notified of instances where the County will continue to plow Larpenteur Avenue after property owners have cleared their sidewalks. This makes sidewalks appear uncleared and subject to code violation even though the owner has already put in effort to clear their
sidewalk in a timely manner.
The clearing of sidewalks on Larpenteur Avenue has been an area of contention for property owners. City staff received frequent complaints from owners that remove snow multiple times and still receive letters of enforcement because the County as cleared the road later in the week and deposited additional snow on the sidewalk. City
staff also received frequent complaints from travelers on the sidewalks who complain that the walkways are not passable.
City staff recommends revisiting the snow removal policy for Larpenteur Avenue, an A-Minor Arterial road, to alleviate the burden on property owners.

Item Garden Avenue Discussion
Description
On June 1, 2022 City staff gave council an update on the Garden Avenue
project. Staff has held two public engagement meetings. Both meetings focused
on Garden Avenue possible layouts and discussion on the Ruggles right of
way corridor between Pascal and Holton. The first was on April 5, 2022, and
showed new concepts and the existing layout that could be done between
Snelling and Holton. The second meeting, held on July 20, 2022, expanded on
the first meeting by showing four concepts (A, B, C, D) from Snelling and
Holton and the existing option. Additionally, four concepts (E, F, G, and
Existing) where shown for the segment between Holton and Hamline. A
comment summary from both meetings, including phone and email comments
received to date, is included as Attachment C.
Based on the feedback from residents to date, staff has simplified the concepts
down to four options for Snelling to Holton and three for Holton to Hamline.
Any option west of Holton could work with any option east of Holton by
transitioning the roadway similar to how the road transitions today. This also
applies to possible sidewalk as it could be just constructed east of Holton.
Attachment A is an option summary that details the differences between each
option. Attachment B is a comparison table that compares how each option
meets goals of the project.
The proposed next steps related to the 2023 PMP, including when Council
decisions are need are as follows;
• August 3 - Receive Concept Presentation
• August/September – Make decision on whether sidewalks will be
assessed/maintained by the City if sidewalk is included in the
approved layout. This is needed so it can be included in concept
analysis portion of the feasibility report.
• August/September – Make decision on whether to include Ruggles
Pathway connection in the 2023 PMP prior to the feasibility report.
• September – Hold Neighborhood Meeting for Falcon Woods
• October – Make decision on if to include Falcon Woods in the 2023 PMP
prior to the feasibility report.

1 Option A - Where does snow go onto sidewalk?
2 Option A - Snow and ice fall (in front of driveway)
3 Option A - Add curb cut (at chruch entrance)
4 Option A - Add bump outs (at Holton Avenue)
5 Option A - Lots of kids cross here (Holton Avenue)
6 Option B - Snow plow, not walkable
7 Option C - Where do parents wait for kids?
8 Option D - Who is served by this model? No pedestrian walkway and no parking?
9 Option D - This tree block view of stop sign and is in poor health. (SW corner of Asbury and Garden)
10 Option E - Loved bumpout (at Albert)
11 Option E - Is there enough room for busses to turn (school bus entrance)
12 Option E - Concerned about garage and slab. Does not want sidewalk. Considers significant impact.
13 Option F - Who plows sidewalk?
14 Option G - Where do kids walk?
15 Option G - This is a dangerous plan. Snow banks.
16 Option G - Concerned about ped safety compared to existing.
17 Use Franchise Fees to offset the assessment cost - Garden Ave shouldn't be assessed higher than the other paved streets
18 Likes bumpouts (Albert Street and Holton)
19 School district should offer plowing to get "buy-in" from residents (school block)
20 Sidewalk (south side of the church's block), mid-block bump-out (parking lot to the church), parking for disabled church members and deliveries (south side of church)
21
Wants sidewalk, prefers Option A with snow storage. Concern about children walking on a busy street. Long term goals of the city are to be walkable, safe, connecting parks and green spaces. Both
the school and church entities will be here 20 years from now.... many of these residents opposing change will NOT.
22 Leave Ruggles pathway as-is, hard for homeowners to shovel, wouldn't be used by disabled persons to get to school
23 Parking lanes are needed (school and church)
24
The city needs to find a way to help transition home owners for winter maintenance. Could the city plow the sidewalks for the first 3 years? Help find resources for those who claim they cannot
afford a plow service?
25 Strongly in favor of adding sidewalks to mitigate risks to children and families going to school. Feels unsafe walking with kids to school in winter when snow drifts keep you on the road
26 Drainage concern with winter icing, several falls (church)
27 Seems fair to share assessment for sidewalk among the whole neighborhood rather than just Garden Ave
28 Likes the options narrowing the road, it was quieter back when it was narrower.
29 Likes sidewalk on Garden Ave, likes bumpouts

REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
City of Falcon Heights, Minnesota __________________________
Item Garden Avenue – Potential Sidewalk Funding & Maintenance
Description
As noted in City Engineer Freihammer’s RCA for item D3, the City will need to
determine whether sidewalks will be assessed/maintained by the City if a
sidewalk is included in the approved layout for Garden Avenue. This is
needed so it can be included in the concept analysis portion of the feasibility
report.
Funding
The City’s Assessment Manual was last adopted in 2007. Item II (G) –
Sidewalks, trails and pathways directs that the City will assess residential
properties at a rate of 25% of the per foot cost multiplied by total front footage,
40% for commercial, and 100% for non-profits.
Current layouts that include sidewalk only have sidewalk on the north side of
the street. There are 13 total properties on the north side of Garden from
Snelling to Hamline, with the largest property being Falcon Heights
Elementary and the second being the United Church’s parking lot.
Estimates in the spring indicated that a sidewalk for the entire north side of
Garden would cost approximately $313,000.00 to install. Applying our
assessment policy as currently adopted, this would mean approximately $3,000
up to $15,000 per parcel assessment for the installation.
There are three primary options that can be considered if a sidewalk were to be
installed:
1. Apply the assessment policy as written.
2. Develop a Sidewalk Improvement District, as indicated in State Statute
435.44, with the district paying their share of the assessment up to five
years.
3. Determine that the sidewalk is a regional pathway, similar to Cleveland
and Fairview, and pay for installation of the path through a citywide
levy and/or use of fund balance.
Meeting Date August 3, 2022
Agenda Item Policy D4
Attachment Assessment Policy, 2023 G.O Bond
Estimate, Estimated Tax Effect,
Sidewalk District Policy, Sidewalk
District Map
Submitted By Jack Linehan, City Administrator
For option #2, there are approximately 450 parcels within the Northeast
Quadrant. If they were to pay 25% of the costs, estimates would be that the
average assessment would be approximately $175, or $35 per year for five
years.
For option #3 and a bond, the estimate of the debt levy would be $40 per
median household per year for five years, or $30 per year for seven years. This
amount is for the total project cost. Applying an assessment would reduce this
cost about $10 per year on the levy.
Maintenance / Plowing
Residents on Garden Avenue expressed concern for maintaining a sidewalk.
Currently, Public Works does not assess adjacent properties for the
replacement of existing sidewalk. This would remain the case for Garden.
The City does have the capacity to remove snow Garden Avenue’s sidewalk,
but there are concerns from neighbors in the Northhome area and other areas
that have sidewalk that the City does not shovel. Additionally, the City could
shovel snow in front of properties zoned Residential only, and leave sidewalk
shoveling of non-profit or schools to their maintenance staff

City of Falcon Heights
Assessment Manual
Adopted June 13, 2007
3/14/2012 1
The purpose of this assessment manual is to set forth a guide to be utilized by the City of Falcon
Heights when preparing assessment rolls, so as to assure uniform and consistent treatment of the
affected properties. It is the general policy of the City of Falcon Heights to assess all affected
properties according to this policy without regard to funding source.
Minnesota state law, chapter 429.010 and 429.111 provides that a municipality shall have the
power to make public improvements such as sanitary sewers, storm sewers, water source and
distribution facilities, street improvements including grading, curb and gutter, surfacing,
sidewalks, street lighting, landscaping, and recreational facilities, etc. The various procedures
that the municipality must follow including reports, notices and public hearings are well defined
within the law.
The statute further provides that the cost of any improvement may be assessed upon property
benefited by the improvement based upon the benefits received whether or not the property abuts
on the improvement and whether or not any part of the cost of the improvement is paid from
other funding sources. The law is not specific on how these benefits are to be measured or how
the costs are to be apportioned, but rather makes it incumbent upon the municipality to determine
with assistance of the city engineer, city attorney, appraisers or other qualified personnel, a fair
and equitable method of cost sharing among the properties involved. It is the intent of this
policy that the maximum value of an assessment be based on the highest and best use of
property.
Throughout this manual, the total cost of an improvement shall include the construction cost plus
all associated overhead costs. The total cost of the associated overhead for a public
improvement project would typically include city administration, engineering, fiscal, legal,
capital interest, and contingencies. The actual overhead costs incurred will be tracked and
charged to the project.
The initiation of public improvement projects may happen in two different methods. The first
method is by a petition of the affected property owners. The petition must be signed by the
owners of not less than 35 percent of the frontage of the real property abutting the proposed
improvements. The second method is to initiate the proceedings by city council direction, in
which case no petition is needed. An outline of the public improvement process is provided in
the appendix.
Any reference to land zoning in this manual shall mean the most current approved city zoning
map available at the time. It should be emphasized that the special assessment methods and
policies summarized herein cannot be considered as all-inclusive and that unusual circumstances
may at times justify special consideration. If the city should determine that the application of
these policies results in an assessment amount greater than the increase in market value to any
property, the city may limit the assessment to the increase in market value regardless of policy.
Also, any fixed cost data and rates will be adjusted periodically so as to reflect current costs.
3/14/2012 2
I. Definitions
A. Assessment Units
The following definitions refer to the assessment units to be used when determining
various assessment rates as described in the remaining sections of this manual.
1. Lot Unit
A lot unit is defined as a platted single family residential lot which, in accordance with
Falcon Heights zoning and subdivision regulations, cannot be further subdivided.
2. Gross Area
The total area, in acres or square feet, of a lot or parcel of land including any easements.
The gross area of a lot or parcel of land does not include any of the abutting right-of-way.
3. Front Footage
a. Single Frontage Lots
In platted areas, the front footage for purposes of front footage
assessments
shall be determined at the building setback line as described in the Falcon
Heights zoning ordinance, and shall be measured parallel to the property
line abutting the improvement.
b. Corner Lots
In the case of a street improvement project which abuts both sides of a
corner lot, the lot shall be treated as an interior lot and the front footage
shall be the long side of the lot. There will not be an additional
assessment against corner lots for the side lot dimension. When the street
improvement is only along the long side of the lot, the long side of the lot
will be used for determination of assessable front footage. Projects along
only the short side of the lot will not be assessed. If the property being
assessed is a non-single family residential or tax-exempt parcel, both sides
will be assessed.
For all other improvements such as sanitary sewer or water, the front
footage shall be the footage established for the long side of the lot when
both sides of the lot are being affected by the improvement. Where the
proposed improvement project is only along the long side of a corner lot,
the long side front footage shall be used for assessment purposes.
4. Residential Equivalent Assessment Rate
The residential equivalent assessment rate shall be based on a portion of the cost
of the street construction for a typical residential street section. This residential
equivalent assessment rate shall be determined by the city council and based upon
comparable project data available to the city.
3/14/2012 3
B. General
1. Petition
Petition shall mean a written document presented to the city council for purposes
of initiating a public improvement project. All signatures shall be accompanied
by the address of each signator, the date of the signature and a printing of each
signator's name. Only one signature per property is allowed. An example of the
usual form of petition is included in the appendix.
2. Total Project Cost
Total project cost shall mean the final construction cost plus all associated
overhead costs. Overhead costs shall include but not be limited to city
administration, engineering, legal, fiscal, interest during construction, and land
acquisition.
3. Assessment Period
The length of payment period on various types of improvement projects shall be
as follows:
Sanitary sewer 10-15 years
Storm sewer 5-10 years
Street reconstruction 10-15 years
Street mill and overlay 5-7 years
In the case where several of the improvements listed above are included in the
same project, the assessment period may be 10-15 years. In no event shall an
assessment period exceed 15 years.
4. Assessment Interest Rate
The interest rate charged on assessments shall be set by the city council.
Typically, the rate is set at about 2% over the general obligation bond rate used to
fund the project. If no bond is issued for the improvement, the rate will be set at
2% over the projected general obligation rate as determined in consultation with
the city’s financial advisors.
5. Municipal State Aid (MSA) Streets
Municipal state aid streets are routes designated by the city council and approved
by the commissioner of transportation for inclusion in the city's state aid system.
All routes included begin and end on another municipal state aid road, county
state aid road, or trunk highway and are eligible for the use of MSA construction
funds.
6. Municipal State Aid Construction Funds
Municipal state aid construction funds are monies apportioned to the city from the
state to be used for the construction of routes designated on the municipal state
3/14/2012 4
aid system. All construction funded with these monies must be done in
accordance with the MnDOT office of state aid design criteria.
7. Pending Assessment
An assessment is pending against a particular property if the city has determined
that the property is benefited by a public improvement project which has been
ordered or constructed, but for which an assessment has not yet been levied
against the property.
8. Federal and State Highways
These streets are classified as expressways, freeways, and major arterials
constructed and maintained by the Minnesota Department of Transportation.
They carry large volumes of traffic at peak loading times. In Falcon Heights,
Snelling Avenue is in this category. Assessments levied by the City of Falcon
Heights will be based upon a residential equivalent assessment rate.
9. County State Aid Highways (CSAH)/County Road
These streets are classified as major and minor arterials and collectors constructed
and maintained by the Ramsey County public works department. These streets
typically carry high volumes of traffic at peak loading times. In Falcon Heights
the streets in this category include Larpenteur Avenue, Hamline Avenue (north of
Larpenteur), Fairview Avenue, Cleveland Avenue and Fulham Street (north of
Larpenteur). Assessments levied by the City of Falcon Heights will be based
upon a residential equivalent assessment rate.
10. Deleted and incorporated into #5
11. Collector Streets
Collector streets are those streets generally considered to collect traffic from
specific areas of the city and convey it to arterial routes.
12. Residential Streets
This is the minimum street design acceptable as a public street within new
subdivisions or developments. They carry relatively small volumes of local
neighborhood traffic. The typical urban residential street is 30 feet wide with
concrete curb and gutter and a 7-ton design. If the street is to be designated as a
municipal state aid street, it must meet applicable MnDOT standards.
13. Alley
These are narrow paved surfaced driving areas constructed within city
rights-of-way. They provide a means of ingress and egress to the rear of property.
They are typically constructed to in accordance with current MnDOT standards.
14. Appurtenances
3/14/2012 5
A. Pathways
Pathways (also known as sidewalks or trails) are pedestrian and bicycle
facilities running along the sides of streets.
B. Street Lighting
Street lights are provided to create a safer environment by reducing the
amount of dark areas in a neighborhood. They can also be installed to
create a more aesthetically pleasing, consistent theme in a neighborhood.
Costs for installing non-standard streetlights shall be 100% assessed to
benefiting property owners.
C. Boulevard Trees
Boulevard trees are planted along roadways to provide shade and create an
aesthetically pleasing appearance. The city is responsible for pruning and
removing trees located in the rights-of-way, while individual property
owners are responsible for trees located on private property.
D. Seeding/sodding
Boulevard restoration by seeding/sodding is included in the construction
costs as part of street improvement projects.
II. Assessment policy by project type
A. Sealcoating
Sealcoating involves applying a thin coat of oil on the street and then laying gravel on
top. Current city practice calls for this project to be performed every seven years. This
type of project is considered routine maintenance and is funded without assessing
benefiting property owners.
B. Mill and Overlay
Mill and overlay projects involve grinding the top few inches of roadway off and
replacing it with a layer of asphalt. This type of repair can typically extend the life of the
roadway by 15 years. Project costs will be calculated on a per-foot basis and assessments
will be applied based on the property’s front footage in the following manner:
1. Residential properties – 40% of the per foot cost multiplied by the total
front footage
2. Commercial properties – 60% of the per foot cost multiplied by the total
front footage
3. Tax-Exempt properties – 100% of the per foot cost multiplied by the total
front footage
C. Roadway Reconstruction
Reconstruction projects are typically more comprehensive and performed every 30 years.
This type of project involves totally removing the existing roadway, replacing the base
3/14/2012 6
materials, and oftentimes performing utility work (water, sewer, etc.) at the same time.
Project costs will be calculated on a per-foot basis and assessments will be applied based
on the property’s front footage in the following manner:
1. Residential properties – 40% of the per foot cost multiplied by the total front
footage
2. Commercial properties – 60% of the per foot cost multiplied by the total front
footage
3. Tax-Exempt properties – 100% of the per foot cost multiplied by the total
front footage
D. Alleys
For the most part, alleys in the City of Falcon Heights serve a private residential purpose.
As such, maintenance and repair of the alleys are the responsibility of the property
owners. Project costs will be calculated on a per-foot basis and assessments will be
applied based on the property’s front footage in the following manner:
1. Residential properties – 90% of the per foot cost multiplied by the total front
footage
For alleys which also serve non-residential purposes, a traffic study will be performed to
determine the amount of traffic created by the non-residential users and the assessment
amounts will be altered to reflect estimated usage. It is the intent of this policy to set the
assessment amount as fairly as possible, using best engineering practices, for all
benefiting property owners.
E. Sanitary Sewers
Periodically sanitary sewer systems need to be replaced or have major repairs conducted.
Usually these repairs are coordinated to occur at the same time as road reconstruction
projects to eliminate redundant road repairs. Sanitary sewer project costs will be
calculated on a per-foot basis and assessments will be applied based on the property’s
front footage in the following manner:
1. Residential properties – 40% of the per foot cost multiplied by the total front
footage
2. Commercial properties – 60% of the per foot cost multiplied by the total front
footage
3. Tax-Exempt properties – 100% of the per foot cost multiplied by the total
front footage
The City of Falcon Heights (or its contractors) will only conduct work in the public right-
of-way. At the discretion of the city, work on private property may be performed but
only after receiving a written request from the property owner and the entire cost of the
private repair will be assessed to the benefiting property owner.
If a project is being completed on a public street, property owners on private streets
receive a benefit of the improvement without having front footage on the public street. A
traffic study may be performed to determine the amount of traffic created by the private
3/14/2012 7
street users and the assessment amounts will be altered to reflect estimated usage. It is
the intent of this policy to set the assessment amount as fairly as possible, using best
engineering practices, for all benefiting property owners.
F. Storm Sewers
1. Definitions
A. Storm Sewer Trunk Facilities
Ponds
A basin or wetland constructed or naturally located within a permanent
easement for the purpose of containing storm runoff. May be either a
retention (permanent) pond, detention (temporary) pond, or a combination
of both.
Pipe Network
A network of pipes ranging in size generally from 30 inches through 60
inches. The trunk pipe networks are designed to collect storm run-off
from an area generally larger than 10 acres.
Channels
An open ditch conveyance network constructed within permanent
easements for the purposes of transporting storm run-off.
B. Storm Sewer Lateral Facilities
A network of pipes ranging in size generally from 12 inches to 27 inches
designed to collect storm run-off from a specified small area to a trunk
facility. The lateral facilities also include street overland flow and inlet
structures such as catch basins, manholes and flared end sections.
2. Determining Storm Sewer Assessment Rates
A. Storm Sewer Trunk Rates
Design and estimate of the total improvement cost of the ultimate trunk
system needed to provide complete service to each property in the Service
District considered.
B. Determine the base assessment rate by dividing the ultimate system cost
previously described by the sum total of the following to determine the cost per
square foot of the project:
Gross area of Single Family residential properties.
3/14/2012 8
Gross area of multi-unit residential properties
Gross area of commercial properties
Gross area of tax-exempt properties
C. The assessment rate would be set as follows.
Residential properties- 40% of the per square foot cost multiplied by the area
of the parcel
Multi-Unit residential and commercial properties- 60% of the per square foot
cost multiplied by the area of the parcel
Tax exempt properties- 100% of the per square foot cost multiplied by the
area of the parcel
G. Sidewalks, trails and pathways
Off-street facilities provide a safe walking alternative for pedestrians. As such, the City
of Falcon Heights recognizes the importance of these facilities and will construct them
when possible. Project costs will be calculated on a per-foot basis and assessments will
be applied based on the property’s front footage in the following manner:
1. Residential properties – 25% of the per foot cost multiplied by the total front
footage
2. Commercial properties – 40% of the per foot cost multiplied by the total front
footage
3. Tax-Exempt properties – 100% of the per foot cost multiplied by the total
front footage

A RESOLUTION APPROVING A SPECIAL ASSESSMENT DEFERRAL POLICY
WHEREAS, the City of Falcon Heights uses special assessments in order to construct public
infrastructure, such as streets, sewers, sidewalks, and other public facilities; and
WHEREAS, these assessments can sometimes cause a financial hardship to those on fixed
incomes; and
WHEREAS, State of Minnesota Statute 435.19 allows cities to adopt policies allowing for the
deferral of special assessments in certain circumstances; and
WHEREAS, the City of Falcon Heights currently has a policy but desires to amend it;
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Falcon Heights hereby establish the
standards and guidelines for determining the eligibility for special assessment deferrals:
1. In order to request a deferral of an assessment, the homeowner must request a deferment
before the close of the public hearing adopting the special assessment roll. The request

ESTIMATED TAX EFFECT OF SIDEWALK BOND AT $313,000
NOTE: City Debt from the issuance of a bond is paid off by a debt levy included in the calculation of the property tax
levy for each year the debt exists.
The following estimates are based on a median value home of $352,300 for 2023 as provided by Ramsey County.
After the market value exclusion the tax capacity of a median value home of $352,300 is $3468. This tax capacity is used
to calculated the estimated effect of a bond worth $313,000 for a median value home. We attempted to keep all other
variables constant in the tax calculation to see what effect only the $313,00 bond would have.
IF WE DID A 5 YEAR BOND WORTH $313,000, THE PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY $64,500
EACH YEAR.
Tax increase would be approximately $40 per year.
IF WE DID A 7 YEAR BOND WORTH $313,000, THE PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY $46,064
EACH YEAR.
Tax increase would be approximately $30 per year.
435.44 SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENT DISTRICTS; COSTS SPLIT BY BENEFIT.
Subdivision 1.Authorized.
Any municipality may, by ordinance, establish sidewalk improvement districts within a municipality, and have authority to defray all or part of the total costs of sidewalk construction and repair by district benefits and apportioning the district's cost to all of the parcels located in the district on a direct or indirect benefit basis.
Subd. 2.For safety.
The governing body of any municipality may establish sidewalk districts on the basis that all areas within each district have safe pedestrian walkways to and from schools and school bus stops, public transportation facilities, and other services to the neighborhood and community.
Subd. 3.Uniformity; wide sidewalks; indirect benefit.
The total costs of sidewalk district improvements may be apportioned and assessed to all parcels or tracts of land located in the established assessment district on a uniform basis as to each classification of real estate. Where sidewalk widths are wider than the standard width of the district, the additional costs may be assessed as a direct benefit to the abutting property. An indirect district benefit assessment may involve all parcels or tracts of land located in the assessment district without regard to location of sidewalks, as it is deemed that all parcels or tracts of land within the assessment district benefit equally.
Subd. 4.Up to five years.
The governing body may assess the costs on all district sidewalk improvements up to a maximum of five years on equal annual installments, plus interest on the unpaid balance.
