PLANNING COMMISSION Minutes of the Regular Meeting Planning Commission - City of Little Canada Sept. 3, 1981 The regular meeting of the Planning Commission of the City of Little Canada was held on the 3rd day of Sept., 1981 at 7:35 p.m. at 515 Little Canada Rd. in said city. The following members were present: Peter Costa, Eugene DeLonais, Sharon Timmons, Roy French, Myers Frattalone, LeRoy LeMay, Jim Steele, Joe Vitale. Absent: Tom DuCharme Also present: Brad Nielsen, Northwest Associated Consultants. Minutes approved as read from last meeting. DOROTHY AUGER PROPERTY DIVISION Driveway to her home is on adjoining lot. She wants to split the driveway off of a smaller lot and adjoin it to larger lot. New smaller lot will be 17,805 sq. ft. Motion made by Eugene DeLonais to recommend approval of property division for Mrs. Auger. Seconded by Sharon Timmons. Motion carried 7 -0. REVISION OF HOLZSCHUH PLAT Bill Bartels (Realty World Midway Realty) appeared with a copy of new plat drawing for Hulzschuh plat. Brad Nielsen - lots to the east were shortened so that lots east of the development could later by developed. Allen Ave. now deadends at Greenbrier to the east. Brad Nielsen stated that the Holzschuh plat is roughly outlined as follows: The area bounded by LaBore on the south, Co Rd D on the North, Payne Ave. on the west and a row of lots that front on Greenbrier on the east side. The city has had requests by several owners as to how to develop the area. The Holzschuh lots would all front on Payne Ave. If Holzschchs were to use all their land, it would leave Mr. Newman with an unbuildable piece of property. The Holzschuhs have changed the depths of the lots to 114' and made the lots wider so they still come out to 10,000 sq.ft. The Planners modified the Engineers road plan to address some of the problems they saw, in regard to the NSP easement and the amount of roads which will run from "D" to LaBore. The Planners suggested to Mr. Holzschuh that he include Allen Ave. on his plan just in case it is needed as a way to get into the area -not necessarily as an indication that Allen Ave. be extended all the way through to Greenbrier. Brad presented the modified plan that the planners propose. Their plan calls for one street out the North onto D and 2 streets out the South to LaBore. The NSP easement cannot be built on. The planners are recommending that the city look into using the easement area(NSP easement and possibly a small portion of the adjoining land) as a park. 1. PLANNING COMMISSION page 2 9 -3 -81 HOLZSCHCH con't: The proposed roads follow property owner lines so that owners do not have to sell part of their land to adjoining owners to be able to develop their land. The county ditch will have to be rerouted along lot lines so that drainage is adequate for the area. Don Carley explained the existing drainage system in the area. The current county ditch runs in from the north and curves to the east. The ditch that comes off Payne Ave. is a private ditch and is not necessary to the drainage of the property. There is a graded swail along the back of the lots on the west side of Payne Ave. which will drain into the county ditch. Mr. Carly stated that a street will cost about $200.00 per running foot (sewer, water, concrete curbs, etc.). Mr. Floyd Holzschuh is opposed to putting Allen Ave. through at all. He is in favor of Mr. Carley's plan. Mr. Doug Peterson lives on vacated part of Allen Ave. to the west of Payne Ave. He is opposed to Allen Ave. being put in across the street from him. He says they have had no problem with Payne Ave. being a long block. He would rather see long streets through the area instead of short cut up streets. Mr. Don Valento and Mr. Jespersen stated that before the Holzschuh plat was approved,theywould like the whole street plan approved for the whole area. Mr. Valento and Mr. Jespersen have agreed tobuy the Holzschuh out lot. They need to know if Allen Ave. will be approved or not. They are both against Allen Ave. coming into the property. Brad stated that the planner cannot recommend not allowing for Allen Ave. coming into the area. The subdivision ordinance states that a block cannot be over ; mile long. Motion to send back to Planner and City Engineer to try to work out a plan which might eliminate Allen Ave. made by LeRoy LeMay. Discussion- Brad stated that he felt that was not necessary. If you eliminate Allen Ave. on the planners plan, you have a plan without Allen Ave. Richard Holzschuh also appeared. Mr. Valento stated that putting Allen Ave. through also creates a drainage problem because the drainage for the whole area runs from LaBore to D. Seconded by Gene DeLonais. Mr. Carley and Mr. Nielsen both felt nothing could be accomplished by sending it back to them. Motion denied. Ayes -3 Nos -4 Ron Flynn appeared (owns Landin property- 15 acres). He is in favor of Brads plan without Allen Ave. Motion to approve the Holzschuh proposal (without Allen Ave. being included on the plan) and including the outlot on the east of the property as proposed made by Sharon Timmons. Seconded by Joe Vitale. Ayes -2 Nos- 5 Motion denied. 7 e �' PLANNING COMMISSION page 3 Sept. 3, 1981 HOLZSCHCH CON'T Motion to table issue until 2 weeks made by Gene DeLonais. Seconded -LeRoy LeMay. Motion carried 8 -0. EXPANSION OF PEPPINOS The Planning Commission would like all property owners notified of a special meeting of the Planning Commission to be held two week from tonight. The Planner will have different plans to hopefully settle the problem,ready by then. Amendment to Ordinance to permit 50 ft. widths in streets: Brad stated that, because of lot configurations, 60 ft. wide streets are not possible. in the area. He stated that both he and Mr. Carley are in favor of reducing the required 60' to 50' in residential streets. All roads on both the Planners plan and the City Engineers plan are 50'. Motion to recommend that the council approve to amend Sec. 1006.030 allowing 50' minimum instead of 60' minimum on local residential streets made by Joe Vitale. Seconded by Jim Steele. Motion carried 8 -0. Addition on the west end of the building, 20' by 50'. (1,000 sq. ft.). Six parking spaces are lost by putting on addition. Motion to recommend approval of addition subject to Planner approving number of parking spaces made by Sharon Timmons. Seconded by Roy French. Motion carried 8 -0. POLE BLDG.PROPOSAL Charles Webber appeared. 2962 No.Rice (on north side of Antler Corp. and apartment building) is the address where Mr. Webber is requesting permission to build a 24' X 40' pole building, to make cement ornaments. Brad stated that the use of the property cannot be added to, without granting a variance or changing the zoning on the property. Motion to grant variance to construct 24' X 40' structure ( to replace 2 previously existing buildings in poor condition) made by Roy French. Seconded by Jim Steele. Motion carried 8 -0.

WELTZIN Director and County Engineer PHYLLIS F. SPECKER Administrative Assistant The proposed development in Little Canada in the Demont Avenue corridor has caused a certain amount of concern by our department, which I indicated to you when we talked by phone last week. I asked my staff to review the status of Demont Avenue, and their findings are that the functional classification of Demont Avenue is a local road primarily serving the residents in that area. We believe that roads that do not perform a County function, as most local roads do not, are more appro- priately administered by the municipality. After reviewing the staff report, it is my desire to turn this roadway over to the City of Little Canada, and I am hereby requesting your acceptance. Once you have indicated your willingness to accept this roadway, we will request the County Board to revoke the county road designation. _4.--emWrtejS- Kenneth E. Weltzin, P.E. Director and County Engineer kew:js Att: Kirkwold Report, 8/14/81 CC: Commissioner Robert J. Orth Board of Ramsey County Commissioners 14 G INTRODUCTION Within the past four years, three roads in the City of Little Canada have, by mutual= agreement of the city and county, been removed from county jurisdiction. The juris- dictional exchange of these roads, Jackson Street, Lakeshore Drive and County Road C, was prompted by the decreasing importance of the roads in the county transportation system. Ramsey County has also examined the need for Demont Avenue in the City of Little Canada to remain under the county's jurisdiction. DESCRIPTION Demont Avenue (County Road 110) from Rice Street (T.H. 49) to Viking Drive is located in the city of Little Canada (see Project Location Map, Figure 1). This .75 mile section of bituminous roadway is 20 feet in width with gravel shoulders. The right of way width is 66 feet. Within the area bounded by T.N. 36, County Road C, Rice Street and I -35E, there are two roads under county jurisdiction which are functionally classified as local roads: County Road B -2 and Demont Avenue (see Functional Classification Map, Figure 2). Another road within this area, Viking Drive, is under the jurisdiction of the Minnesota Department of Transportation, and is functionally classified as a local road. Other roads within the area are under city jurisdiction. The existing traffic volume for Demont Avenue is 1550 west of Jackson Street and 850 east of Jackson (see Traffic Volumes Illustration, Figure 2). For year 2000, volumes on Demont are projected at 1800. ADT west of Jackson Street and 2100 ADT east of Jackson Street. 1 15 0 LITTLE CANACA - PIAI DP t P It PP ACE LADORE AVE c. 0 s 57 N A D; AU w a IRAN 51T AVE. LND PRCLIECf- ROSE LA DL roar Ay(.

PROJECT LOCATION MAP i6 $GALE t"A = 2.000' v' ►FORTH Land use within the vicinity of Demont Avenue is a mixture of commercial, public and residential (see Land Use Map, Figure 3). The area is bisected by a Soo Line railroad track. Commercial development is clustered along Rice Street and Little Canada Road. There are multi - family residential areas along I -35E accessible by Viking Drive, County Road B -2 and Demont Avenue. Two schools are located within the area, Capitol View Middle School and Kellogg High School. Other land use is single - family residential. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN RECOMMENDATIONS There is overlap between local and collector functional classification and jurisdic- tional classification. The County and cities both have collectors and locals under their jurisdiction. Ramsey County Comprehensive Plan, 1980, recommends that roads which are functionally classified as locals and are under county jurisdiction should be reviewed for their contribution to county residents. The County believes that roads which do not perform a county function, as most local roads do not, are more appropriately administered by local (municipal)' jurisdictions. If Demont Road, therefore, is appropriately classified as a local road which does not perform a function within the county road network, a recommendation can be made that it should be removed from the County's jurisdiction. FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATION Demont Avenue is classified currently as a local road. According to the Metropolitan Council's functional classification criteria, which Ramsey County's Comprehensive Plan has adopted, local roads are within neighborhoods and collectors are on edges or within neighborhoods. Collectors connect neighborhoods within and between sub- regions. Locals connect blocks within neighborhoods. Collector spacing is recommended at 0.25 to 1.0 miles and local spacing at one block. 2 17 COUNTY COUNT`( to lil DRE S ob. • 0 LAN1n US-_ E comMeRcIAL. SINGLE FAMILY, RESIflMNTIM- Q MULTI .

A recommendation was made in the Plan that Demont Avenue be classified as a - collector from Rice Street to Viking Drive. However, because of the land use along County Road B -2 and the higher existing and projected traffic volumes on that street, it would be more appropriate that Demont Avenue retain its local classification and County Road B -2 be upgraded to a collector. Demont Avenue serves residential land uses. There is no access to Kellogg School from Demont. The access to both Kellogg and Capitol View Schools is from County Road B -2. Demont Avenue performs a function more appropriate to the municipal, rather than the County, road system.

Dave Mr. Dave Frattalone appeared before the Council and asked the Council Frattalone the status of the proposed assessment against his property. Mr. Frattalone Assessment was informed that the assessment was levied against his property. However, there was discussion about the agreement the City was to have made with Mr. Frattalone to defer these assessments. The Engineer and the Attorney will be checking their records to determine if such an agreement was made. If such an agreement is found, the assessments will be deferred. Mr. Mike Frattalone appeared before the Council. Mr. Frattalone stated that he thinks he has been assessed twice for sewer on Allen and Desoto Streets. The Engineer stated that he will check this out and get back to Mr. Frattalone. Public Hearing Improvement No. 78 -12 Improvement No. 78 -12 is the improvement by watermain of Brooks and Arkwright.

I am writing on their behalf to confirm posi- tions outlined in a letter I received from Don Carley. A copy of that letter is attached. It is our understanding that the City Council has agreed to accept drainage easements from Mr. Hammond in two loca- tions extending north from County Road 32 and also over the pond. It is our understanding that the City of Little Canada, at its own expense, will excavate these various easements. We further understand that any excavation in the easements falling within the flood plain which is in the elevation from 859.0 to 863.6 will be credited to Mr. Hammond and may be allocated by him to compensate for any fill in the flood plain on his or the Reid's property. The compensating excavation may be applied by Mr. Hammond to comply with the terms of any Ramsey - Washington Metro Watershed District permit or any other permit, rule, regulation or ordin- ance or other law providing for no net filling in the flood plain. We also understand thatthe engineering firm of Milner W. Carley and Associates, Inc. is preparing plans for a water - main project on County Road B2 which will include the easement work described above. Based on discussions with Mr. Carley, we believe that the completion 22 ErnUI SEP 2 1961 CITY OF LITTLE CANADA September 1, 1981 Page Two of those plans is imminent and that the work will commence before the end of this year. If this letter does not accurately sum- marize the City's understanding of its agreement with Mr. Hammond or if the City does not want Mr. Hammond to rely on Mr. Don Carley's representations regarding this project, please inform me as soon as possible.

Minnesota 56378 3523664 August 4, 1981 We met with Mr. Bruce Foley regarding the Hammond property on County Road B2 in Little Canada, Minnesota. The City Council of Little Canada has agreed to accept drainage easements in two locations extending north from County Road B2 and also over the Pond. The City will excavate the easements and portions of the Pond in order to accomplish drainage throughout to Gervais Lake. There is approximately 900 cubic yards of fill which was recently placed on the Hammond lot. After we have calculated the amount of soil excavated by the City, Mr. Hammond will remove the balance so that the total removed equals 900 cubic yards. We have recommended that this work be done in conjunction with other construction work in the City. On July 24th, the City Council ordered the construction of watermain on County Road B2. Consequently, we are in the process of preparing plans which will include the aforesaid drainage easement work. Yours truly, MILNER W. CARLEY & ASSOCIATES, INC. Donald 0. Carley, P.E.

Dear Mr. Chlebeck: Your letter to the Department of Public Service has been forwarded to our office for response. The Minnesota Department of Transportation was given authority to handle grade crossing matters in November, 1976, when the Department was established. Under the Federal Highway Act of 1973, funds were appropriated for up- grading warning devices at grade crossings with federal funds paying 90% of the cost and the local road authority (City) assuming the remaining 10 %. A review of the crossing by this office has determined that it does not qualify for this program at this time. If the City of Little Canada wishes to pursue the matter further, the City Council should pass a resolution requesting the Commissioner of Transporta- tion to conduct a public hearing to determine if additional warning devices are required for the crossing and to allocate the costs thereof. There are limited State funds available to offset a portion of the costs allocated to the public. However, 25 to 100% of the costs could be allocated to the City of Little. Canada. Modern automatic signal systems cost in the area of 60 to 90 thousand dollars. If we can be of any further assistance, please feel free to contact this office. Sincerely, Robert G.

D.P. luus Dear Mr. Neumann: Regretfully I must inform you it appears that the assessment for Improvement No. 78 -10 did not appear on your 1980 taxes. The mix -up was caused by an error in Property I. D. Nos. The assess- ment rolls came out with one number and the property tax listing came out with another number, and it did not appear on your taxes. Therefore the assessment payment due in 1981 will be recom- puted for the 1981 taxes collected in 1982. Your payment schedule will not be for fifteen years but for 14 years, commencing with the 1981 taxes collectable in 1982. 'I am also sending a copy of this letter to Mr. Gilbert. It may be possible in the selling of the home an escrow fund was established for the assessment. The balance for the assessment as of this date is $1,948.60. You can pay this in full at the City Office of Little Canada with- out interest. Y..am considering this as a deferred assessment at the present time.
