Regular Agenda Item 12. Adjourn Revised 04/16/04 3:35 p.m. mmg Jeff Smyser From: HawkLaw1@aol.com Sent: Monday, April 19, 2004 11:06 AM To: Jeff Smyser Subject: Century Farms North park Jeff: This is written in response to your request for further clarification on my opinion that the developer has satisfied the park dedication requirements for the plat of Century Farm North. Century Farm North is a plat which consists of 95.12 acres. There are 9.84 acres of wetland which leaves a net of 85.27 acres subject to park land dedication under our ordinance. Furthermore, a part of this plat was previously platted as Sunset Oaks Addition. 14 Tots in Sunset Oaks Addition are included at 10,800 sq. ft. per lot equaling 151,200 sq. ft. (3.47 acres). The developer was required at that time to make a park land dedication of 10% so the total area subject to dedication must be reduced by this 3.47 acres since the city cannot charge park fees twice on the same property. Therefore the total land area subject to dedication is 81.80 acres. The number of new units in this development is 249. The residential unit cash park charge is $1,665.00. This was based upon a Comprehensive Park needs analysis performed by Al Brixius. This equals a total cash payment, if cash only was required, of $414,585. In this plat, however, land is being dedicated. A total of 8.12 acres is included as park land in Century Farm North. Our ordinance provides that we are to value the land dedication based upon a formula set out in the ordinance. The formula is the total land dedication times the land value. Previously, the City Council adopted a resolution establishing land value of $28,000, however, it is our opinion that number is not reasonable in view of recent comparable sales which indicates the value should be nearly double that amount for buildable residential property in Lino Lakes. Mr. Uhde has indicated he feels the and has a value of at least $50,000 per acre. If we apply this value times the land that is being dedicated we arrive at a total cash land value for land dedicated of $406,000. Mr. Uhde is also contributing $70,000 of trail construction within the development which will be a part of the City's park system. I believe it is reasonable to give him credit for this as a cash contribution. Based upon this information, I came to the conclusion that Mr. Uhde was more than fully satisfying his park dedication requirements and that the combination of land and park trail construction were satisfactory. See the following table: 249 units X $1,665.00 = $414,585.00 Credits 8.12 acres X $50,000.00 = $406,000.00 Trail Construction $ 70,000.00 Total $476,000.00 If you have any further questions, please contact me.

Development and Gary Uhde in connection with the residential development known as Century Farm North. Last summer, we objected to the City's proposed imposition of a park dedication fee in connection with the final plat for the First Addition of Century Farrn North. Specifically, the City sought to impose the amount of $103,821, in addition to park land valued at $405,000, according to an appraisal supplied to the City by Mr. Uhde. It was our contention then, and remains so today, that the City was not lawfully entitled to impose a park fee on G.M. Development, in addition to the park land dedication. Following negotiations with City staff, it was agreed that the value of the land dedicated to the City with the plat for Century Farm North fulfilled G.M. Development's obligations. I am surprised and disappointed to learn that the City Council once again has raised this issue and used it arbitrarily to deny the final plat for Century Farm North, Second Addition. 1 urge the City Council immediately to reconsider and reverse its prior decision on this matter given the prior negotiated resolution of this question. Mr. Uhde's builder - customers have lot -sale commitments that are adversely affected by the City Council's unfortunate action. Any damages resulting from the City's denial will be the responsibility of the City. Please call me if you have any questions. Sincerely, Pet- J. Coyle, for Larkin Hoffman Daly & Lindgren Ltd.

John Johnson 935357.1 • WS -3 WORK SESSION MEMORANDUM Date: April 21, 2004 To: City Council From: Gordon Heitke, City Administrator Ann Blair, City Clerk Re: Local History Project A few weeks ago, there was a meeting between Gordon Heitke, Ann Blair, Betsy Friesen and Jerry Berg of the Lino Lakes History Project to discuss the overall status of the existing history project. At this meeting, Volunteer Coordinator Friesen expressed her interest in expanding her activities to preserving a couple of privately owned buildings in Lino Lakes. She was interested in seeing the City of Lino Lakes become a "Certified Local Government" in order to be eligible to apply for historic preservation grants. Jerry Berg, who is now assisting Betsy Friesen, indicated that he wants to see the City require archaeological surveys done in conjunction with excavations in Lino Lakes, whether or not they are required or recommended by the State Historic Preservation Office or the Office of the State Archaeologist. An e -mail (copy attached) was received last week from Betsy Friesen of the Lino Lakes History Project in regard to fundraising for local preservation projects. The fundraising question needs an immediate answer, but this is a good time to review the original intent of the project authorized by the Council and discuss the Council's interest in: 1) expanding the scope and activities of the Lino Lakes History Project and 2) becoming eligible for historic preservation grants through the formation of a historic preservation commission and becoming a Certified Local Government. Local History Project Background As you may recall, on December, 2002, the City informally formed a committee designated the "Lino Lakes History Project" and a volunteer coordinator (Betsy Friesen) was designated. This was not specifically listed as an annual appointment for the duration of the project timeframe, although that appears to have been the intent. The Council's Resolution No. 02 -182 (attached) which designated the position, listed job duties as including documenting the information that the City currently has, systematically gathering additional information and organizing it. At the time the history project was designated, the estimated timeframe for completion was prior to the city's 50th anniversary in May, 2005. Since its inception, the group has appeared before the Council at a work session to give a brief report in July of 2003. At 1 that time, the project coordinator had located a number of documents owned by the City, which she was reviewing and indexing. In August of 2003, Mike Koop of the State Historic Preservation Office gave a presentation regarding Historic Preservation Commissions in general. Fundraising Request The fundraising question in the attached e-mail raises a few concerns, as we do not believe the City intended to authorize fundraising through its original Resolution No. 02- 182 at the time the history project was formed. The City Attorney has agreed and has cautioned that state statutes apply which would require formal procedures and reporting of use of these monies. A separate, non -profit organization not affiliated with the city could theoretically solicit funds for these activities. In any case, if a history project coordinator were involved in these efforts, it should be made clear that they are acting in the capacity of an individual and not as a volunteer of the city. Historic Preservation Commission /Certified Local Government Although Staff has compiled research and some draft ordinances from other cities on this subject, Staff has not come forward with a recommendation to proceed with a Historic Preservation Commission at this point. A primary consideration is that this activity goes far beyond the scope of the resolution and the original authorized history project has not been completed. Another consideration is that Betsy Friesen stated that her only interest in the formation of a historic preservation commission is that it is a requirement to be eligible to apply for historic preservation grants. Staff has researched the potential for accessing grant funds and has learned that there have been numerous state funding cuts and grant programs are being phased out, recent grant award amounts have been small, there seems to be little likelihood of sites getting Historic Register status, a source of local matching funds for grants is required. There are, of course, additional city policy and budgetary considerations. The formation and operation of a Historic Preservation Commission and staff resources would need to be incorporated in the city budget. The enactment of a historic preservation ordinance and the designation of properties subject to alteration restrictions as part of seeking Certified Local Government status are undertakings that should not take place casually, and certainly not without extensive discussions and approval of policies to implement these projects. 2 Ann Blair om: Betsy Friesen [b -frie @umn.edu] t: Tuesday, April 13, 2004 12:30 AM Ann Blair Subject: st joe's fundraising Hi Ann! The Lino History Project and some parishioners from St. Joe's are teaming up to raise funds for Old St. Joe's. We have a printed list of companies, from the City, for local businesses, but i am wondering if, by any chance you would have this list in an electronic format. If so, could you send it a long to the address shown above. Thanks so much! Betsy AGENDA ITEM 4A STAFF ORIGINATOR: Linda Waite Smith, City Administrator MEETING DATE: December 16, 2002 TOPIC: Consider Resolution 02 -182 Designating Volunteer Coordinator for Lino Lakes History Project VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5 BACKGROUND: The Lino Lakes City Council has wanted to collect and organize information about the City's history before documentation is lost and memories of long -time residents can no longer be captured. The City requested assistance from the community and one of the respondents was Ms. Betsy Friesen. Ms. Friesen is a twenty-one year resident of Lino Lakes. She is also a librarian and historian. Because of her interest and qualifications, staff is recommending the City Council designate Ms. Friesen, through Resolution 01 -182, Volunteer Coordinator of the Lino Lakes History Project. We anticipate that Ms. Friesen will assess the documentation the City has in its possession, then develop a plan for systematically gathering additional information and organizing it. That information will include maps, newspaper articles, historical documents, photographs and oral histories. The City will provide periodic work space, staff assistance, storage space and supplies out of the current operating budget. This project will be ongoing and the City will continue to encourage residents to participate in the project or contribute information to it. OPTIONS: 1.

Consider Non -Union Salary Recommendations for 2003, Dan Tesch - Upon adoption of the agenda, this item was removed. Consider Resolution No. 02 —180, Authorizing Contract for Engineering Analyses, Linda Waite Smith — City Administrator Waite Smith advised that as staff continues to address mold issues in the civic complex, they have been advised by a representative of the Institute for Environmental Assessment and by an attorney who specializes in litigating mold cases, to obtain independent third party analyses of the building shell and of the mechanical systems. The purpose of the evaluations is to identify the source of the mold. Therefore, the analysis should be done before proceeding with remediation measures in the remaining two sections of the complex. • The cost of the two analyses is estimated to be $20,000. Consultants will assist in selecting qualified evaluators. Per Resolution No. 02 —180, Staff is requesting authorization to spend up to $20,000 11 Ws - Lino Lakes Public Services Department 600 Town Center Parkway Lino Lakes, MN 55014 (651) 982 -2440 Fax (651) 982 -2439 www.ci.lino - lakes.mn.us • • April 19, 2004 TO: Mayor Bergeson and City Council Members FROM: Rick DeGardner, Public Services Director Tim Hillesheim, Utilities Supervisor SUBJECT: DNR Water Appropriations Issues As part of updating the City's Comprehensive Water Plan, a related issue that needs to be addressed is our annual water appropriations permits from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR). To better understand this issue, we have summarized some basic points related to the permitting process. On an annual basis, the city completes an application to the DNR requesting a certain volume of water for consumption. The DNR then takes into account several factors such as historic growth, existing conservation measures, etc., to determine the city's permitted water volume. When cities exceed their approved water appropriation, the DNR fines the offending city based upon the amount of the overage. The city of Lino Lakes has exceeded the approved water appropriation the past several years. If left unchecked, the fines can become quite severe. There are several factors that the DNR takes into consideration when cities request a higher annual appropriation. The most significant issue is the cities existing conservation measures. The most common conservation measures are sprinkling bans and tiered water rates. Since Lino Lakes does not have any type of a sprinkling ban in place, our requests for additional appropriations have been denied. The same types of conservation measures are evaluated when the DNR reviews requests for additional well houses. A large percentage of the resident's water consumption is directly correlated to summer lawn sprinkling /irrigation. The table listed below summarizes the gallons of water consumed per quarter in 2003. Quarter 1 (typically Jan - Mar) is considered the Base Consumption, or domestic use that is attributed to typical household needs since outdoor watering does not occur in the winter. • • • QUARTER TOTAL CONSUMPTION (Gal AVG CONSUMP /HOUSEHOLD 1st Quarter 2002 59,269,000 18,355 2nd Quarter 2002 66,217,000 20,200 3rd Quarter 2002 121,632,000 36,146 4th Quarter 2002 107,660,000 31,360 Total 2002 354,778,000 26,665 1St Quarter 2003 63,449,000 18,317 2nd Quarter 2003 74,367,000 21,317 3rd Quarter 2003 185,594,000 52,309 4th Quarter 2003 190,205,000 53,071 Total 2003 513,615,000 36,406 Historically, Lino Lakes has had the luxury of being able to meet the peak consumption demands of residents without imposing formal restrictions. The dry conditions we experienced last year put an extreme burden on our water supply system. Peak water demand exceeded production throughout the summer months while overnight demand allowed tower levels to only slightly recover. We are also at the point of potentially comprising our public safety and fire protection capabilities. For example, the Insurance Services Organization recommends that our system be capable of a sustained flow of 3,500 gpm for a four -hour duration. The ability of our system to meet this criterion while also supplying peak domestic demand is doubtful. For the reasons explained above, as well as the philosophy that the city of Lino Lakes should be environmentally responsible to conserve our precious resources, staff is recommending that a sprinkling ban be implemented. The proposed ordinance implements an odd /even sprinkling ban from May 15 - September 15. The City Administrator will also have the authority to further restrict the sprinkling of lawns as needed when an extreme water shortage exists. The first violation shall result in a $25 citation, and a $50 subsequent violation to those individuals who repeat violations within the same calendar year. The adoption of seasonal watering restrictions is a necessary and reasonable measure to control water consumption during periods of peak demand. A sprinkling ban with reasonable enforcement will put us in a better position to increase our annual water appropriations. Also, A sprinkling ban with reasonable enforcement will delay the need for additional well houses that are very costly to build and maintain. In order to be allowed to increase our water appropriations and build additional well houses, a sprinkling ban needs to be implemented. A sprinkling ban is commonplace throughout the metro area. The proposed ban is not as restrictive as other communities such as Centerville. Assuming the City Council is comfortable with staff's recommendation, we will begin an informational campaign to inform our residents of the new ordinance (ie, city newsletter, flyer in water bills, Quad, etc.). 4/19/2004 RD /Utilities /2004 DNR issues • • (Ns -6 CITY JOF IN KE MEMORANDUM DATE: April 19, 2004 TO: City Council FROM: Michael Grochala RE: Black Duck Lift Station Property The City Council authorized the reconstruction of the Black Duck Sanitary Sewer Lift Station in 2003. As part of the project, the lift station was relocated from the west side of Black Duck Drive to City owned property on the east side of the street. The old location was a 30' x 30' parcel obtained in 1972 when the station was constructed. As shown in the attached diagram the parcel extends into the adjacent single family residential lot. With the removal of the lift station the parcel is no longer needed for public purposes. The adjacent property owner has expressed his interest in the parcel to remove the "notch" in his property. Staff is recommending that the parcel be sold to the abutting property owner for the nominal fee of $1. The sale of the city property must be completed by ordinance. Staff is proposing to place this on the city council agenda in May.

(Island) Mr. Ed Vaughan has submitted additional information regarding a bridge to his proposed island development. The submitted information includes several photos and figures of different types of bridges. A narrative refers to specific elements from the different bridge types. The question before the City now is if the information is adequate to make a decision on whether or not there is the potential for significant environmental effects. The Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) process has not yet been completed, pending complete information on the bridge. Once the information is sufficient, staff will need to prepare findings and a recommendation on whether or not an Environmental Impact Statement is warranted. To assist in the discussion, the history of this project is summarized below. 2002, January Planning & Zoning Board recommends denial of proposed project, including comprehensive plan amendment, rezoning to planned unit development, and preliminary plat. Februray 2002 Received petition for Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW). March 2002 City Council orders EAW. March - August 2002 Information collection from applicant and preparation of EAW. August 2003 Distribute EAW for public comment. September 2003 Public comment period ends. October 2003 Notified applicant that additional information is needed on bridge and noise impacts. December 2003 Received some additional information, sent letter 12/23 stating information still missing on bridge.' January 2004 City Council work session, staff discusses declaring need for Environmental Impact Statement. City Council and applicant decide to postpone decision, applicant will submit additional information on bridge. March 31, 2004 Mr. Vaughan leaves note: "Have "bridge" picture, can I show you ? ", also leaves voice mail message. April 5, 2004 I returned call, is told Mr. Vaughan is out of town. Mr. Vaughan callsed back.

The purpose of the plan is to identify the optimal pavement management program (including reconstruction and maintenance) to maximize the life of City streets at the minimum cost to the community. Staff is anticipating completion of the plan by July of 2004. While the management plan will address, from an engineering and financial standpoint, a preferred method of maintaining city streets, implementation of the plan will most likely require additionally city council/charter commission discussions. At this time staff is requesting direction from the City Council regarding street reconstruction projects. Due to time constraints and project planning purposes we need to determine if a referendum for street reconstruction will be held in November of 2004. TKDA is completing feasibility studies for certain areas of the City that were authorized as part of the original 5 year plan. If we are to proceed with a fall 2004 referendum several questions will need to be addressed. For example: 1. Should sanitary sewer and water extensions be included in the feasibility studies? Most of the reconstruction areas lack these services. 2. If the answer to No. 1 is yes, is staff to assume that the comprehensive plan amendments, that would be required in most situations, would be facilitated by the City. J:\mgrochala \Staff Reports \City Council \Work Sessions \2004 \4 -21 -04 Pavement Management - referendum.dot • 3. Is there a standard assessment policy that staff should be using as a basis for assessments for the street portions of projects i.e., benefit, percentage of project cost? • These are just some of the questions related to proceeding with a project. We would like the opportunity to discuss these and any other questions at the work session.

Studenski, City Engineer RE: Marilyn Drive /Country Lane Utilities Petition The City has received a petition from residents and property owners on Country Lane and Marilyn Drive for sanitary sewer and water service. A copy of the petition and a map of the resident locations are attached. When the City has received utility petitions from neighborhoods in the past, the first step has been to hold a neighborhood meeting before any formal study is prepared. At the neighborhood meeting, we discuss the public improvement process, the City Charter, the location of existing utilities, and an overview of the construction process. A feasibility study would follow the neighborhood meeting. The study will address, on a preliminary basis, design, cost, assessment, schedule, and other issues as they relate to providing City utility service to this area. The area of the petition is defined as Low Density Unsewered Residential. It is outside of the Stage 1 and 2 Growth Areas. Country Lane is outside of the MUSA boundary. City Staff is requesting City Council for direction on how to proceed with this petition to extend city utilities. 600 Town Center Parkway, Lino Lakes, Minnesota 55014-1182 Phone: 651- 982 -2400 • Fax: 651 - 982 -2499 • TDD: 651 - 982 -2410 Jim Studenski, Lino Lakes City Engineer March 26, 2004 Dear Jim Studenski: APR 0 5 2004 CITY of Qv° Due to fact that our septic systems have been tested and declared as failing systems, we are writing this letter to ask the city to have our homes connected to city sewer & water. The newly built homes at the end of our street have brought city sewer & water very close to our homes and we are hoping this makes "hooking up" more feasible now than when the city first considered this project in our area We would like express our feeling that putting in anything other than city sewer & water would not make any sense to us considering the age of the homes in our development area, and the fact that some of the other people in the area have expressed interest in a petition for city sewer & water. We are concerned that if we install something at this time other than city sewer & water, the city will come right behind us shortly and offer it We will have to do .something soon to replace our existing systems so any assistance you can be to help us with this problem would be greatly appreciated. (Jim it looks like a petition will be coming soon with a number of names on it from the people living at the end of our block, they came around asking about who might be interested and it sounds like a number of people are) Sincerely, William Beach 7761 Marilyn Drive Lino Lakes, Mn 55014 (651) 780 -9376 Dan Gunderson 7773 Marilyn Drive Lino Lakes, Mn 55014 .
