CITY OF LINO LAKES
MINUTES

. 5:35 p.m.
. 6:25 p.m.
: Council Member Stoesz, O'Donnell,
Rafferty, Roeser and Mayor Reinert
: None
Staff members present: City Administrator Jeff Karlson; Community Development
Director Michael Grochala; Finance Director Al Rolek; Economic Development
Coordinator Mary Alice Divine; Public Safety Director John Swenson; City Engineer
Jason Wedel; City Clerk Julie Bartell
1. Temporary Sign Permits — Council Member Roeser indicated that he requested a
discussion of the city's temporary sign regulations because he feels they may be too
restrictive for businesses and non profits, and as well are not well enforced. Currently a
city permit allows use of a sign for 17 days limited to once per quarter and he'd be open
to considering a longer period. Council Member Stoesz suggested the city could open up
the rules for a trial period, perhaps through January.
Community Development Director Grochala noted the issue of temporary signs would be
a lengthy discussion. A change would require an ordinance amendment. A temporary
sign is allowed to recognize that special events can be advertised. He noted that the city
must remember that everyone must be treated equally and cannot allow nonprofits
different regulations than others. From his experience, wherever the line is drawn, people
will want more from that point.
Mayor Reinert noted that the issue of signs has been discussed regularly by the city.
Does the_council wish to send a message to the Planning and Zoning Board to work on
the issue? Council-Member Rafferty added that he thinks that the council is talking about
enhancing the rules rather than bending them; he recalled that the Planning & Zoning
Board hasn't seen the need to change. The Mayor suggested that council members put
together ideas around this issue, things that could be referred to the Planning & Zoning
Board. The matter will be discussed at the next regular work session.
2. Quarterly Newsletter — Council Member Roeser noted that the council has
discussed the possibility of an all electronic city newsletter. He showed some
publications that he received at his home and indicated that they are mainly advertising
pieces that contain articles as fillers. He suggested that the city may be able to use such
publications to get news out for no cost. Economic Development Coordinator Divine
noted that the city would have no control in that type of situation.

CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION September 24, 2012
DRAFT
46 Mayor Reinert suggested that the council discuss the matter at their next work session.
47 He added that he was also thinking about adding an advertising section for Lino Lakes'
48 businesses only. Council Member Stoesz suggested that the council also discuss the
49 possibility of advertising through the parks and recreation program.
50
51 3. Traffic Accidents Caused by Deer — Council Member Roeser noted that police
52 reports for the city indicate that accidents with deer are plentiful. He noted a letter that he
53 received a letter from the City of Maplewood announcing a deer hunt within the city for
54 public safety reasons. Perhaps the city may want to consider some action to help control
55 the deer population. The council will discuss the matter at the November work session.
56
57 4. Review Regular Agenda -
58
59 2A) Resolution No. 12 -99, providing for the issuance and sale of approximately
60 $2,030,000 General Obligation Bonds, Series 2012A — Finance Director Al Rolek
61 introduced the city's financial consultant, Terry Heaton of Springsted, to review the bond
62 actions relating the signal improvement projects. Ms. Heaton noted a recommendation
63 included in the staff report. The bond issue includes the signal project funding as well as
64 a bond refunding that will provide some savings. If approved, the bonds will be
65 marketed, rated and sold. She reviewed information included in the report that indicates
66 details and expectations about the sale.
67
68 The council discussed the bond rating system with Ms. Heaton and heard about the value
69 of the city's current good rating.
70
71 6A) Resolution No. 12 -100, approving a variance to to the street and side yard
72 setbacks for Miller's on Main property — Community Development Director Grochala
73 explained that this change is related to the signal project in the area of the business. The
74 Planning and Zoning Board has found the variance to be appropriate with one condition
75 on parking stops.
76
77 6B) Resolution No. 12 -101, amending a-conditional use permit for Emcompass
78 Digital Media — Community Development Director Grochala explained that this would
79 be a next step in actions at the Encompass site and would allow the addition of a new
80 satellite and a utility building. The Planning & Zoning Board is recommending
81 approval.
82
83 The meeting was adjourned at 6:25 p.m.

19 Joe Goetz, Minnesota Chairman of the National Center for Fathering, addressed the council. He
20 explained the work of his group — many children don't have a father in their home and that can lead to
21 problems in their lives. The group works to make a difference in communities like Lino Lakes. He
22 explained their current work at Centennial Middle School and noted that they do have fund raising in
• 23 progress. Mayor Reinert asked Mr. Goetz to provide information on the group's efforts to council
24 members.

30 SPECIAL PRESENTATION
31
32 Charter Amendment Update — Community Development Director Grochala gave a presentation on
33 the charter amendment that is being proposed by the council. Mr. Grochala explained that there is an
34 important local question on the ballot this fall, namely a charter amendment dealing with the city's
35 special improvement process. This city's special improvement process, mainly dealing with road
36 improvements, was reviewed by a citizens task force in 2007. The council has taken up the subject in
37 the past year and is proposing this amendment that includes some of the same changes proposed by
38 the task force. He urges citizens of the city to get informed on the proposed amendment and noted
39 that there is explanatory information on the city Website and at a kiosk at City Hall. There will be
40 information presented on the city cable channel soon. He added that the proposed amendment
41 preserves the rights of property owners to stop projects and also right of all citizens of the city to
42 petition to put projects on the ballot. Staff will continue to offer information on the amendment
43 through the election.

71 the referendum approved signal improvement projects as well as refunding of an outstanding bond,
72 the 2003A bond. The refunding will save the city about $32,000. The council has received a
73 positive recommendation from the city's financial advisor, Springsted, for this bond sale. Mayor
74 Reinert noted that the signal projects were approved by the citizens, the amount of the project has
75 come in under budget and now the financing is very reasonable.

93 6A) Resolution No. 12 -100, Approving a variance to the street and side yard parking setbacks
94 for the Miller's on Main property - Community Development Director Grochala explained that the
95 variance requested relates to the Lake Drive and Main Street Signal Improvement Project and road
96 changes required around the Miller's on Main property. The design improvements required in the
97 project will eliminate street parking but improve sidewalk access. A variance is being recommended
98 that will allow changes in off street parking. He noted that the Planning Zoning Board has
99 recommended approval of the variance with one condition relative to parking stops.
100
101 The mayor suggested that while variances aren't normally the best solution to problems, he sees this
102 is a unique situation and will support the resolution.

110 to remove some soil from their property in order to make room for an additional satellite dish and a

112 reviewed the request and recommends approval with some conditions (that were read).

The special meeting was called for the purpose of discussing economic development.
Anoka County proposal to purchase Legacy site - Economic Development
Coordinator Divine distributed and reviewed a letter from Attorney Stephen Bubul
regarding a proposal made by Anoka County regarding the tax- forfeited Legacy at Woods
Edge property. The letter outlined the downside to such a proposal. Ms. Divine
confirmed that a sign would be up soon offering the property for sale and that the
property is already listed on line on three different sites.
Dominium Townhome Project — Economic Development Coordinator Divine recalled
that the council discussed a concept proposal by Dominium at the last work session. The
council indicated they would now discuss what they would like to see developed. There
were also questions that arose and Dominium's responses are indicated in her written
report. The questions related to senior housing, one -story townhomes, apartments versus
townhomes and market studies. She confirmed that the proposal would not involve
Section 8 housing. Ms. Divine reported that the concept was discussed by the City's
Economic Development Advisory Committee (EDAC) and their comments are included
in her staff report. The group approved a recommendation thatthe concept of
affordable /rental townhomes warrants further exploration with more discussion of
financial implications to the city.
The mayor suggested that the momentum of a proposal should be good for bringing in
others. Staff assured the council that the information is out there and also explained that
they are thinking about how to best use the remaining lots in the site. The mayor
indicated that he sees interest in the project by five council members so staff indicated
that they would continue to work with Dominium on their ideas.
Staff also updated the council on other economic development efforts:
- Lino Lakes Assisted Living expansion proposal;
- Otter Lake Road improvements;

CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA ITEM 3A
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Jeff Karlson, City Administrator
MEETING DATE: October 8, 2012
TOPIC: Adoption of Minnesota Snow and Ice Control Handbook
VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5
INTRODUCTION
The City Council is being asked to adopt the Minnesota Snow and Ice Control Handbook,
which is a requirement of the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) grant program to convert
to a salt brine deicing system.
BACKGROUND
In July the City Council approved a Memorandum of Agreement with Rice Creek Watershed
District for participation in its Urban Stormwater Remediation Cost -Share Program. This
enables Lino Lakes to receive grant funding to integrate deicing into its snow removal
operations. To qualify for the grant funds, the Council must adopt the Minnesota Snow and Ice
Control Handbook as prepared by the Minnesota Department of Transportation and direct the
appropriate City staff to participate in training from the Handbook. Staff training has already
been completed.
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Minnesota Snow and Ice Control Handbook.

MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT
WITH RICE CREEK WATERSHED DISTRICT
The cities of Centerville, Circle Pines, Columbus, Lino Lakes, Lexington and Hugo are
hereinafter referred to as "Cities."
WHEREAS, the Cities have determined that the current practice of using sand and
salt mixtures on city roads is not the most effective means to control ice, and
WHEREAS, the Cities have recognized that using primarily salt in the correct
amounts is a better means of providing safe winter roads, and
WHEREAS, transitioning to salt alone, without adopting procedures and training for
staff, would likely result in excessive use of salt and unnecessarily higher cost, and
WHEREAS, deicing salt may accumulate in ponds and lakes, which over time could
have an adverse impact on the environment, and
WHEREAS, Centerville, on behalf of the cities, has secured a grant from Rice Creek
Watershed District (grant application attached as Exhibit A) to implement best
management practices for use of road deicing salt, and
• WHEREAS, the Grant Agreement (attached hereto as Exhibit B), among other
things, requires documentation and reporting activities for each of the cities.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITIES AGREE TO INDIVIDUALLY TAKE THE
FOLLOWING ACTIONS:
1. Each city council will approve participation in the activities envisioned by the
grant application in the same manner as if it were a direct party to the grant
agreement.
2. Each city will timely pay to the City of Centerville the local share for the
equipment it acquires through the grant.
3. Each city will adopt the Minnesota Snow and Ice Control Handbook as prepared
by the Minnesota Department of Transportation and will direct the appropriate
city staff to participate in training from the Handbook.
4. Each city will adopt any required policies and procedures to implement the grant
program activities.
5. Each city will keep records of snow and ice events and its use of deicing materials
as required in the grant agreement.
•
6. Each city shall be responsible for its own acts and omissions and those of its
officers, employees and agents. However, to simplify the defense of any action
the parties may consolidate liability in one or more cities. Under no
circumstances, however, shall a city be required to pay on behalf of itself and
another city, any amount in excess of the limits on liability established in
Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 466 applicable to any one city. In such cases, the
limits of liability for some or all of the cities may not be added together to
determine the maximum amount of liability for any city.
This agreement will be executed in multiple originals with separate signature page for
each city.
Approved by the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota this 9th day of July, 2012.

The purpose of this field handbook is to help promote the
understanding of the tools, best practices, and limitations for
snow and ice control. The handbook will also help you under-
stand when to use and when not to use these tools and prac-
tices. In addition, it encourages progressive changes in snow
and ice control practices that will help you reduce salt /sand
use and environmental impacts while meeting the safety and
mobility needs of roadway users.
Improved practices such as anti- icing, prewetting, and pre -
treating are emphasized in this field handbook. Also included
are standard best practices expected in a quality snow and ice
control program.
Throughout the field handbook you will find environmental
tips shown with this fish symbol )' * . These tips are provid-
ed to help you reduce environmental impacts from snow and
ice control operations.
A blanket approach will not work for the broad range of condi-
tions Minnesota experiences; different strategies are needed
for different regions and different conditions. We encourage
you to continue to test, document, and refine the practices
from this field handbook.
Less material on
roads means less
material in lakes
and streams.

WEATHER
Knowing existing and potential weather conditions is very
important for a successful snow and ice control operation. Six
pieces of information are especially valuable:
1. Start of precipitation
2. Type of precipitation
3. Total precipitation expected
4. Expected event length
5. Wind conditions (speed, gusts, directions)
6. Temperature trend
Monitor the weather closely so that you are available and pre-
pared to act early in storm situations.
Weather information sources
• Phone 511 to get road condition and travel information or
visit the Web: www.511mn.org.
• Talk to neighboring agencies and share information on
conditions.
• Subscribe to a value -added meteorological service
(VAMS). These are useful for viewing weather forecasts.
• Check the National Weather Service.
• Check all available weather sources.
PAVEMENT TEMPERATURE
Most weather stations- measure temperature and other con-
ditions 30 feet above ground, which means these conditions
can differ substantially from pavement temperatures. Thus,
use the pavement temperature —not the air temperature —to
determine your application rate.
You'll notice changes in pavement temperature first on bridge
decks; pavement temperatures will also be lower in shady ar-
eas.
Measuring with sensors or RWIS
There are two ways to measure pavement temperatures:
with sensors or with the Road Weather Information System
(RWIS).

temperatures can

temperatures.

Basic Concepts
Sensors can be hand -held or truck- mounted. Hand -held in-
frared laser sensors are pointed at the pavement to get a pave-
ment or surface temperature while your vehicle is stopped or
moving slowly.
Truck- mounted temperature sensors measure pavement or
surface temperatures while your truck is moving. Ideally, ev-
ery agency should own at least one truck- mounted unit.
RWIS— www.rwis.dot.state.mn.us —is an Internet service
provided by Mn /DOT and available to everyone. The RWIS is
a predictive system that consists of a network of towers and
temperature sensors embedded in state highways.
If you do not have road sensors in your truck, look up the road
temperature from the closest state highway on RWIS. This will
give you an idea of the local road temperatures.
DILUTION: THE CAUSE OF REFREEZE
An ice control product will work until product dilution causes
the freeze point of the brine to equal the pavement tempera-
ture. At this point, the material will stop melting and you may
experience refreeze if pavement temperatures are dropping.
This process is Dilution of Solution.
How long an application will last depends on five factors:
pavement temperature, application rate, precipitation, begin-
ning concentration, and chemical type. These factors explain
why one application rate will not fit all storm events.

Before the Winter
Take some time before the season to plan your routes and
learn the plowing policies. A little planning up -front can help
you do a more efficient job in keeping the roads safe.
POLICIES
• Make sure you have a plowing policy and meet to discuss
it. Your level of service may be based on average daily traf-
fic, environmental concerns, safety, mobility, economics,
and other factors.
• Inform your citizens of policies.
• Learn to record what and how much you apply on each
shift. Be prepared to analyze and make adjustments to
your process based on what you learn.
PLAN YOUR ROUTES
• During the fall, inspect and make sure ditches, culverts,
and surfaces are free from obstructions and ready for the
spring melt.
• Remove potential snow traps, such as tall grasses, that will
catch and accumulate snow.
• Drive the assigned routes prior to winter to identify critical
areas and find the most efficient way to cover the routes.
• Inventory all the areas prone to drifting and have a plan to
manage them.
• Know your routes. Plan which way you will start.
• Be flexible. Conditions could change the way you plow
your route.

Before the Winter
All good programs
include calibration.
If you don't
calibrate your
sander, the
application
rates will not be
accurate,
CALIBRATE YOUR EQUIPMENT
Calibration is an essential procedure to measure the pounds
of salt and sand applied to the roadway at various auger set-
tings in relation to truck speed. No matter how sophisticated
or simplified your operations, always calibrate yearly.
• Because spreaders vary, calibrate each truck. Re- calibra-
tion is required if changes are made to the hydraulic sys-
tem, if the augers have extensive wear or are resurfaced or
replaced, or a different material is used.
• Follow the manufacturer's guidelines for calibration, and
contact the manufacturer for training. For manual sander
controls, refer to instructions at www.mnitap.umn.edu
/publications or see the insert in the pocket of this hand-
book.
• Calibrate separately for salt /sand mix vs. salt or sand only.
• Remember: The auger plate must be in place during cali-
bration. You are not calibrating the truck properly if the
material is gravity- flowing.
• Place the chart in your truck and check it to see how much
material will be applied at each setting, or ask your super-
visor.

ANTI-ICING
Anti-icing is often the most cost - effective and environmental-
ly safe practice in certain winter road maintenance situations.
You should consider heading in this direction.
Anti- icing —a proactive approach — should be first in a series
of strategies for most winter storms. By applying chemical
freezing - point - depressant materials before a storm, you can
prevent snow and ice from bonding to the pavement.
Anti-icing requires about 1/4 the material of deicing at 1/2o the
overall cost, making it the least expensive option for improv-
ing traffic safety. Anti-icing is effective and cost - efficient when
used correctly and approached with realistic expectations.
Guidelines for anti -icing
• Anti-icing is often effective for heavy frosts.
• Anti-icing works best when combined with accurate road
weather information.
• Early application is particularly important for frost or light
freezing drizzle.
• Liquids are the most efficient and may be applied days in
advance of an event.
• Pretreated salts will work at lower applications (lowest
possible setting, less than 100 lbs /two -lane mile) closer to
the expected event.
• See the Application Rate Guidelines on page 16 of this field
handbook.
What to do
• Apply only with stream nozzles to maintain some bare
pavement between sprayed areas to reduce slipperiness.
Fan spray is not recommended.
• Schedule applications on bridge decks and critical areas if
temperature and conditions could produce frost or black
ice.
• Consider spot- applications on hills, curves, and intersec-
tions if predicted conditions warrant.
• Use appropriate chemical for your pavement temperature
range. See the chart on page 19 of this field handbook.

Before the Storm
Use wisely.
Chlorides can
increase the
salinity of soil,
which can lead to
compaction and
erosion.
• Apply an anti-ice product during non - rush -hour traffic pe-
riods.
• When frost on the shoulder starts to move into the travel
lanes, reapply anti-icing product.
What not to do
• Don't anti-ice under blowing conditions, in areas prone to
drifting, and anywhere else you would refrain from using
salt. Be aware of areas that are prone to wind issues.
• Reapplication isn't always necessary if there is still a re-
sidual. The residual effect can remain for up to five days
after application if precipitation or traffic wear -off does not
dilute the initial application.
• Remember that the surface can refreeze when precipita-
tion or moisture in the air dilutes the chemical.
• Don't apply MgC12 or CaC12 to a warm road (above 28° F
pavement temperature). It can become slippery and cause
crashes!
• Don't apply before predicted rain.
• For the first application or after a prolonged dry spell, ap-
ply liquids at half the rate (not half the concentration). On
dry roads, liquids tend to mix with oil from vehicles and
cause slippery conditions.
• Don't apply too much or the roadway may become slip-
pery. Less is better. Always follow application recommen-
dations.
Equipment
• Anti-icing unit, i.e., transport vehicle with tank.
• Fan spray is not recommended.

Before the Storm
PRETREATING AND PREWETTING SALT AND SAND
Dry material bounces or blows off the road, so everyone should
be either pretreating or prewetting dry material. Liquids also
increase salt's effectiveness by jump - starting the melting pro-
cess. Depending on the liquid used, it can lower salt's effective
working temperature.
Because pretreating and prewetting cause material to stick to
the road, 20 to 30 percent less material is used — saving money
and reducing environmental impacts.
Guidelines for pretreating
Pretreating is mixing a liquid into the stockpile of salt or sand
before it is applied. Unlike prewetting, it does not require
equipment changes and requires no new capital investment
for equipment. You can also switch from dry application to
wet application immediately —just turn down the application
rate.
Salt stockpile
• Treat the salt stockpile with a liquid deicing chemical. It
may be purchased pretreated or mixed on site by the ven-
dor.
• When treating the stockpile at the shop, apply at 6 to 10
gallons /ton.
• Because leach risk at a stockpile is increased, store it cov-
ered on an impervious pad.
Sand stockpile
• Pretreat the stockpile to keep it flowable.
• Apply to stockpile at 4 to 6 gallons of salt brine /ton sand.
• Store the stockpile under cover.

If you must use
dry material, follow
best practices to

Q
Chemicals

a stockpile into

s64
Apply wisely. We
will never have a
chance to recover
the chlorides
applied.
Guidelines for prewetting
Prewetting is adding a liquid to the salt as it is being applied —
either at the spinner or through a soaker pipe in the auger
box —to help it stick to the road better. Although prewetting
requires some equipment changes, it provides flexibility to
switch the chemical makeup depending on conditions.
• Salt brine, calcium, magnesium chlorides, and acetates
may be used as prewetting agents.
• The optimal application rate is 8 to 14 gallons /ton for salt
brine.
• Prewetting with other chemicals at the spinner can help
reduce the application rate.
• Below 15° F, salt brine is less effective than other liquids
and may freeze hoses and valves.
• Salt brine should be mixed at 23.3 %.

_— Quring_tL e Storm
DEICING
Deicing is a reactive operation in which a deicer is applied to
the top of an accumulation of snow, ice, or frost that is already
bonded to the pavement surface. Deicing generally costs more
than anti-icing in materials, time, equipment, and environ-
mental damage.
Removing ice that has already bonded to the pavement can
be difficult, and removing it mechanically can damage equip-
ment and roads. Generally, enough ice must be melted chem-
ically to break the bond between the ice and the pavement,
which requires larger quantities of chemical than anti- icing.
• Use an appropriate amount of salt. Most oversalting can
be prevented by using calibrated, speed - synchronized
spreaders and good judgment in selecting application
rates and truck speed.
• It is not necessary to melt all the snow or ice on the road
with salt. This is an overuse of materials. Apply just enough
to loosen the bond between the road and the ice so it can
be plowed off.
• See the Application Rate Guidelines on pages 17 -18 of this
handbook.
• Dilution of Solution (see page 2) also applies to deicing.
9
Use cautiously.
Many chemicals
contain trace
metals including
cyanide, arsenic,
lead, and mercury.
The goal is not to
melt everything.
The goal is to
penetrate through
the ice and snow
and break the
bond so the
pavement can be
plowed.
During the Storm
sw
Winter abrasives
use has been
documented as
an air pollution
concern.
If you use a 50/50
salt/sand mix,
you're generally
either half right or
half wrong. Using a
salt/sand mix leads
to overapplication
of both materials.
Sand that washes
into a stream
or lake may
smother some
small aquatic
organisms.
USING ABRASIVES
Use winter sand and other abrasives when temperatures are
too cold for deicing chemicals to be effective. But be aware that
sand does not melt anything. It provides temporary traction,
and only when it is on top. Sand also clogs sewers, ditches, and
streams. As a result, avoid sand use as much as possible.
A salt /sand mix is generally not recommended. Salt reduces
the effectiveness of sand, and sand reduces the effectiveness
of salt. However, a salt /sand mix may be helpful in limited
situations such as a long freezing rain event where the salt is
washed away quickly. A 25 to 50 percent sand /salt mix has
been documented as effective in increasing friction by stick-
ing the sand to the surface, like sandpaper.
• Use abrasives in slow - moving traffic areas such as inter-
sections and curves.
• If your purpose is melting, use salt only.
• Salt is ineffective in cold weather, so use sand or an alter-
native chemical.
• Sand is not cheap when you consider the handling, clean-
up, and disposal costs.
• Sweep up sand frequently, after each event if feasible.
STANDARD PRACTICES
• Know the pavement temperatures and trends to help you
use the right application at the right time. Generally use
less chemical when temperatures are rising and more
when they are falling.
• Don't apply dry salt (sodium chloride) at below 20° F pave-
ment temperature. It will not melt fast enough to help and
it will blow off the road into the ditch.
• Below 20° F, switch to other tools like CaC12 and MgC12 at
curves, hills, and intersections to obtain maximum melt-
ing. If unavailable, use sand for traction.
• Adjust your spinner speed to the lowest setting possible,
except at intersections.
• Drive at the slowest possible speed -17 to 25 mph— slight-
ly higher if prewetting.
• Don't let the traffic dictate your speed. Keep it slow to keep
material on the road.
• Apply deicers in the center of the road or high side of the
curve.
10
•
•
•
•
During the Storm
• Set spinners lower to the ground to reduce bounce and
scatter.
• Turn off auger when stopped, even briefly.
Loading /hauling
• Set up and load on a level surface wherever possible.
• Maintain loading area. Keep it clear and smooth.
• Don't overload. Avoid spilling on units.
• Remove loose material from the exterior of the dump
body.
• Watch for co- workers /pedestrians in or near the loading
area.
Effective use of plows
Plow to remove snow and loose ice before deicing applica-
tions. If snow accumulates before or after applications, plow-
ing directly before your next application will minimize prod-
uct dilution.
• Plow first before applying deicers to avoid dilution of the
salt.
• Coordinate plowing activities to eliminate windrows at
intersections and prevent plowing off another operator's
material.
• Never plow or blow snow over a bridge into the water or
onto traffic below.
• Remove snow from roads as quickly as possible to reduce
compaction; use of underbody blades helps remove com-
pacted or slushy snow.
• Make use of carbide plow blade edges.
• Adjust blade angle to maximize cutting efficiency or snow
throwing capabilities.
Public safety /operator safety
• Perform your required CDL pre- and post -trip inspec-
tions.
• Make sure you're mentally and physically prepared to
drive.
• Obey traffic laws. Use the seat belt. Clean lights and win-
dows frequently.
• Flow with traffic as much as possible. Avoid sudden moves.
Be alert to all surroundings.
• Demonstrate courtesy toward other drivers and pedestri-
ans.
11
•
Never use calcium
chloride to open
drains —it is
extremely toxic to
aquatic systems.
When slush begins
to stiffen and
kicks to the rear
from vehicle tires,
it's time to ;plow
and then reapply
chemical,
sy111
Once chlorides
enter the ground or
surface water, they
never go away.
During the Storm
Make sure a
shield is in place
to control the
application or you'll
overapply salt.
• Be aware of spinner discharge at all times.
• Avoid pushing snow over bridge rails and onto roads be-
low.
• Be alert to hazards such as downed power poles, stop
lights, overhead structures, power lines, etc.
• Know the height of your truck box. Raise box only to move
material to the back of the box. When raising the box, be
certain no overhead obstacles are present.
• Be aware of changing braking abilities from a loaded box to
an empty one.
• Keep others informed of changing conditions.
• Assist /report stranded motorists as necessary.
Snow cloud
Be aware of wind conditions and potential problems. Snow
clouds can form during any plowing operation. A very slight
snow cloud can temporarily block out any lighting configura-
tion and increase chances of being hit from the rear.
• Reduce your speed to minimize snow clouds.
• Don't plow just to plow. If plowing (shoulder) isn't neces-
sary when the wind is blowing, don't do it.
12
•
•
•
•
AfteEthe Storm
After the storm, when snow and ice control operations have
ended, evaluate what was done, how well it worked, and what
could be changed to improve operations.
• Accurately record your material use at the end of your shift
(see below).
• Attend a post -storm meeting in the shop to evaluate your
operations.
• Look for opportunities to try new and improved practices.
• Clean and check all equipment.
• Report any hazards such as low- hanging branches, raised
utilities, snow accumulation on bridges, or other potential
problems.
• At the end of the season, clean and maintain the truck,
tanks, brine - making systems, and pumps according to
manufacturer specifications.
• Place all piles on an impervious pad and cover them. This
includes salt and salt /sand mixes.
•
STANDARD PRACTICES
Documenting and charting
Good documentation helps you use less material, reduce costs
and environmental impacts, and run a more effective snow
and ice control program. Unless you document and chart, you
can't measure what you are doing.
• Track your material use.
• Understand the storm conditions and the target level of
service for each route.
• Refine your procedures and material use based on obser-
vations.
• Share observations to improve operations and learn from
each other.
• Use forms like those shown in the appendix of this field
handbook to record and track your work and observa-
tions.
• Complete forms at the end of your shift.
• Turn in documentation forms to your supervisor.

Application Rate
Develop your own application rates using the guidelines on
pages 16 -18 as a starting point and modify them incremental-

ly over time to fit your needs. You can summarize information damages roadside
gathered from your truck logs into application rates for your vegetation.
area. Be aware, though, that sample rate charts vary greatly
from one area to another, and most are very high. Make it a
goal to reduce application rates while keeping our roads safe.
You can reduce rates by following anti-icing and other strate-
gies covered in this field handbook.
GUIDELINES FOR DETERMINING APPLICATION RATES
• Sand /salt mix isn't advised but may help in some situa-
tions such as freezing rain.
• Always plow before applying chemical. For reapplication,
start with the lowest rate in the range.
• High traffic volume will work salt into the snow and aid in
melting —so use a lower rate.
• Higher traffic speeds will blow salt off the road and hinder
melting —so increase use of prewetted materials.
• Use sand for short-term traction only. It will never melt
anything.
• For application on a single lane, cut rates in hall. For an 18-
foot -wide road, use 3/4 of the listed rate (i.e., multiply rate
by 0.75).
• It is usually not cost- efficient to apply salt (sodium chlo-
ride) at pavement temperatures below 15° F.

Application Rate Guidelines
How to use the table on page 17:
1. Select the row with the appropriate pavement temperature,
temperature trend, and weather conditions.
2. Select the column that has the type of material you are us-
ing.
3. Find the box where the row and columns intersect to find
the application rate. These rates are not fixed values, but
rather the middle of a range to be selected and adjusted by
your agency according to your local conditions and experi-
ence.
4. Compare those values to the calibration chart for your
truck.
5. Dial the correct setting for the rate indicated on the Applica-
tion Rate Guidelines.
6. If you are not treating a 24- foot -wide road (typical two -lane
road), adjust the rate as follows: for application on a single
lane, cut rates in half. For an 18- foot -wide road, use 34 of the
listed rate (i.e., multiply rate by 0.75).

CMA (Calcium Magnesium Acetate)— Delivered
as a powder, crystals, pellets, or liquid. Liquid CMA is
used mainly on automated bridge deicing systems. Non-
corrosive, biodegradable. Sometimes added to sodium
chloride as a corrosion inhibitor. Alternative for areas
where chloride use must be limited. Higher cost.
20° F
32%
KAc (Potassium Acetate)— Delivered as a liquid. Used
on automated bridge deicing systems. Use for anti - icing,
deicing, and prewetting. Non- corrosive, biodegradable.
Alternative for areas where chloride use must be limited.
Higher cost.

Winter Sand /Abrasives — Winter sand is sand treated
with brine or another blend. It is often used as an
abrasive for low- temperature conditions when chemicals
are not effective. Sand provides temporary traction and
only works when it is on top of the ice.
Never melts— traction
only
Liquid chlorides are available with corrosion inhibitors.

Materials and Quality Control
MATERIALS TESTING
Test your materials to ensure that they are delivered as ordered
and will perform as needed. Refer to your contract or Material
Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for specific gravity.
Testing liquids
• Before unloading the tanker truck, use a clean container to
obtain a small sample (about 2 cups).
• Measure the specific gravity or percent saturation using a
hydrometer or salimeter.
• Make sure you have the correct hydrometer for your mate-
rial.
• Salt brine should have a salimeter reading of 85% or a hy-
drometer reading of 1.176, which equates to 23.3% salt in
the brine.
• If the specific gravity is not within specifications, don't un-
load, and notify your supervisor.
Testing sand
• Conduct a visual inspection of the material to make sure it
is clean.
• Note that each user has its own specifications based on
available materials.
Testing solid salt
• Make sure someone is present to watch the load being
dumped and observe if it is wet.
• Test salt for moisture content. You are looking for a mois-
ture content of less than or equal to 1.6 %. (Check your
agency's specification.)
How to measure the moisture content of rock salt:
• Get your supplies: an accurate scale and 1/2 cup to 1 cup of
salt taken from the pile, away from the outer edge.
• Microwave on high for 1 1h minutes, stir and repeat.
• Record the information on the worksheet on page 22 and
calculate % moisture.

Snow and Ice Control
Calibration Procedures for Spreaders
Four basic steps
1. Measure the amount of sand and salt discharged in one
auger revolution.
2. Count the number of auger revolutions per minute at
each setting.
3. Determine the discharge rate by multiplying the number
of revolutions per minute by the amount of sand and salt
discharged per revolution.
4. Multiply the discharge rate by the minutes it takes to
travel one mile.
Example:
Speed Time to travel one mile
20 mph = 3 minutes
Minutes /mile x Discharge rate /minute = lbs /mile at
setting number 4
3 min. /mi. x 200 lbs /min. = 600 lbs /mi.
Step -by -step calibration procedures
1. Move the spinner out of the way and set the spinner
control to zero. In most situations it is not necessary to
disconnect the hydraulic hose.
2. Set the auger control for a normal operating mode.
3. Clean the shaft end of the auger and place an index mark
on it, so you can count the number of auger revolutions.
4. Instal an auger shield to gain the most accurate measure-
ment.
5. Place enough sand and salt in the truck to put a load on
the spreader. The material used for calibration should be
of the same percentage mix as what you normally use on
the roa-d.
6. Rev the engine to normal operating speed of at least 1500
RPM.
7. Let the auger discharge for a few revolutions until there is
a steady flow of sand and salt.
8. While the material is flowing steadily, the observer tells
the collector to hold the pail under the discharge of the
spreader.
9. The observer counts aloud the revolutions of the auger.
When the pail is two - thirds full, the observer gives a ver-
bal signal and the collector removes the pail.
10. The observer records the number of auger revolutions on
the Calibration Worksheet Field Collection Chart.
• 11. Weigh the pail containing the sand and salt sample.
Remember to deduct the weight of the pail. Record the
pounds for this first sample on the Field Collection Chart.
12. Perform steps 9 through 12 two more times, collecting a
total of three samples. Record this data on the Field Col-
lection Chart. Calculate the average by adding the three
numbers together and then dividing that total by three.
Record your calculated average pound per revolution on
the Field Collection Chart in the bold box and in column
C on the Calibration Worksheet Application Rate Chart.
13. This completes the steps to collect and weigh the three
samples.
14. Next, count the number of auger revolutions at each set-
ting of the sander. One person counts the auger revolu-
tions for 15 seconds at every setting while another person
times this procedure. Record the results on the Calibra-
tion Worksheet, Application Rate Chart Column A. Mul-
tiply by 4 to get revolutions per minute (RPM) and record
in Column B.
15. Calculate the Discharge Rate by multiplying Column B by
the Average Pounds per revolution from Column C (trans-
ferred from the Field Collection Chart).
16. Determine the Application Rate (pounds discharged per
mile) by multiplying the Discharge Rate (Column D) by
the minutes to travel 1 mile at varying speeds as shown in
the columns labeled E. Repeat for each control setting.
17. Transfer the numbers from Column E of the Applica-
tion Rate Chart to the Calibration Cab Card in the truck.
Round off all numbers to the nearest 25 pounds.

CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA ITEM 6A
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Joe Langel, City Attorney
Michael Grochala, Community Development Dir.
MEETING DATE: October 8, 2012
TOPIC: Consider Resolution No. 12 -59, Establishing
Cartway, Otter Lake Drive
VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5
INTRODUCTION
The City received a petition from Mr. Adam Johnson, 2055 Otter Lake Drive, to establish a
cartway easement to provide access to a landlocked parcel he owns. Minnesota Statutes, Chapter
435.37 provides a process for the establishment of a cartway subject to certain minimum criteria.
Staff is requesting council consideration of Resolution No. 12 -59 establishing cartway and
determining damages.
BACKGROUND
The City Council held a public hearing on July 9, 2012, to consider a petition from Mr. Adam
Johnson, 2055 Otter Lake Drive, to establish a cartway to provide access to a landlocked parcel
he owns. At the work session on September 10, 2012, the Council requested additional
information from the parties, which was subsequently received. The following outlines the
factors for creating a cartway and provides some guidance on damages if a cartway is
established.
Establishing a Cartway
In order for a petitioner's request for a cartway to be approved, the following statutory factors
must be satisfied:
1.) Own a tract of land containing at least five acres.
There is no question that the subject property satisfies the acreage requirement.
2.) No access except over a navigable waterway or over the lands of others, or the
existing access is less than 33 feet in width.
The subject property is bordered by the lands of others on three sides and by the
Otter Lake channel on the west side. The channel is a navigable waterway as that
term is used in this context.
•
•
•
The Homeowner's Association ( "HOA ") now argues that Mr. Johnson can access
the subject property via his own bridge, which they assert does not constitute
"access by navigable waterway," so a cartway is not required. This argument is
without merit.
The statute requires the establishment of a cartway if there is no access "except
over a navigable waterway or over the lands of others..." Minn. Stat § 435.37,
subd. 1(a). This means that if a property owner has to cross a navigable waterway
in some fashion, then he does not have adequate access and a cartway is to be
established. If a property owner could build a bridge, he is still going "over a
navigable waterway" and the test is satisfied. The methods available for crossing
are irrelevant. If a waterway exists and is navigable, the cartway statute treats it
in the same manner as if it was land owned by others. The Otter Lake channel
acts as a barrier to access and satisfies this element of the cartway statute.
With both the acreage and access requirements met, the statute requires that a
cartway be established.
Public use or purpose
The HOA continues to argue that establishment of a cartway is a taking and that all takings must
be for a public use or purpose, pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Chapter 117. Because the Council
previously indicated that it intended to retain private ownership of the HOA road and does not
want to spend public funds on it, the HOA claims that the City is precluded from establishing the
public cartway. This argument does not accurately reflect the law.
While establishing a cartway is an exercise of eminent domain, it is not a taking under Chapter
117. The procedures and requirements contained within that eminent domain chapter do not
control the cartway process. Cartways are established under separate statutory authority.
Moreover, all cartways are for public use when initially established. Once constructed, the
landowner can consent to designating it a private driveway. Minn. Stat. § 435.37, subd. 1(e).
This was the hope and intent of the Council when the statement was made in March. If the HOA
will not provide such consent, then the cartway will have to remain public. That does not mean,
however, that it will be maintained by the City. The Council has indicated throughout this
process that it will not spend public funds to maintain the cartway and it is not required to do so.
Enormous Reaction /Small Problem
The HOA argues that establishing a cartway for Petitioner's limited use is overkill. The use of
the subject property however, is irrelevant. Petitioner made the decision as to the necessity for
the cartway when he submitted the petition. The City's role is to determine whether the statutory
requirements have been met to establish a cartway, and if so, then to determine the location of
the cartway and determine damages. The extent to which Petitioner uses the cartway is up to
him.
•
•
•
Cartway Location
Petitioner Johnson requests that the cartway be coextensive with the HOA's existing driveway to
a point where the cartway turns to the northeast into the subject property. The driveway meets
the statutory requirement for a cartway that is two rods wide (see attached survey) without any
unused width.
The statute provides that an alternative route may be selected by the Council if the alternative is
deemed "less disruptive and damaging to the affected landowners and in the public's best
interest." Minn. Stat. § 435.37, subd. 1(b). Given the existing driveway and bridge, their
location relative to the subject property, and the minor amount of modifications required on the
HOA's property, no other route meets the statutory standard.
Damages
Damages must be paid by Petitioner to the City before the cartway is opened. Minn. Stat. §
435.37, subd. 1(c). Damages "means the compensation, if any, awarded to the owner of the land
upon which the cartway is established" along with maintenance costs and the City's costs. As
you are aware, the parties' positions on damages are wildly divergent.
In most cases, cartways are created where no road exists, so the use of the land changes when the
cartway is built. What was once open land, timber or field is now a road. Here, a road two rods
wide already exists except for a 4' /z' x 33' section where the cartway turns northeast into the
subject property. The questions is, what are the damages to the HOA for establishing a cartway
upon a portion of the existing driveway, where the only new section of road will be
approximately 147 square feet for the turn off?
Petitioner
Petitioner's most recent damage calculation is as follows:
The cartway is 16,120.5 square feet in size. Using the HOA's land value of $.50 per square foot,
the total land value of the cartway is $8,060.25. Because Petitioner is just one of six property
owners who will utilize the cartway, his share (1/6) of the land value to be paid as damages is
$1,343.38.
This analysis does not take into account the impact, if any, on the remaining HOA property,
including the improvements, incurred as a result of creating the cartway, nor does it address
ongoing maintenance costs.
HOA
The HOA asserts damages of at least $747,987.25, which consists of three components:
land value, improvement value and severance damages.
•
•
•
Land Value
The HOA's appraiser values Outlot A at $.50 per square foot. Using the entire width and
length of the Outlot, which is calculated as 131,304 square feet, the estimated value of the entire
Outlot is $65,652. The HOA takes this number and simply adds it to their damage calculation.
A few issues come to mind with this approach.
First, the $.50 per square foot amount was calculated using the sales comparison
approach. The properties used as comparable sales appear to all be home lots, whereas Outlot A
is an outlot platted for the specific purpose of being used as a road. Roadway outlots and single -
family home sites are not terribly comparable. Such outlots are jointly owned whether directly
or through a homeowners association by those who use it. It is essentially a servient parcel that
benefits only those owners. As a dead -end private right -of -way, it is of no value to the general
public and would never be sold to anyone else. Consequently, the value derived by using
wooded, single family home sites as comparables is likely inflated.
Second, the HOA's damage number is calculated using the entire length and width of
Outlot A. The cartway sought, however, is the road width (which happens to be two rods wide —
the cartway minimum) and just enough length to get to the point of entry for the subject property.
This amounts to 16,121 square feet, or only 12.28% of the total. Staff is unaware of any
legitimate justifications for establishing a cartway wider or longer than Petitioner requested.
Third, the appraisal calculated the land at sale value. While that approach is commonly
used, for example, when more frontage is acquired from a property owner to widen a street or
land is acquired to build a new street as part of a neighboring development project, it may not
make sense when establishing a cartway over an existing road. Unlike in the typical situation,
this land is already expressly dedicated for, and is used as, a roadway. In fact, that is the reason
Outlot A was created in the first place. The land is therefore not being connected in the same
manner as in a typical road project. The use is not changing at all; it was a road before and still
will be if a cartway is established.
What is being created, in essence, is a license to access a portion of a private road without
any of the restrictions that can accompany a license. This is arguably a lesser impact to the
existing rights of the HOA and, consequently, it gives rise to lesser damages than the typical
creation of a new right -of -way easement. Thus, even if one only looks at the 16,121 square feet
sought by Petitioner, the full sale value of $.50 per square foot (or whatever it ought to be) may
be overstated. It is not as if the HOA will lose its use of the road. Rather, they will simply have
to share it with another person and his guests. There is a value to that loss of privacy, but it may
be less than the full sale value of $.50 per square foot.
Improvements
The HOA appraiser valued the roadway and bridge at $519,080. The Petitioner only
seeks access across the bridge to his property. Adding the bridge value ($273,700) to 12.28% of
the roadway, lighting and signage value ($30,133) equals $303,833. This is the estimated total
value. As discussed above, these improvements are not being taken in total for this cartway.
•
•
•
Rather, the usage of the existing road will simply broaden from the five HOA members to those
five plus Petitioner and his guests. It is illogical to assign as damages the total current value of
the improvements when the HOA will continue to utilize the improvements in essentially the
same manner as before, with the only difference arising out of Petitioner's occasional use.
Petitioner is not "taking" the improvements and converting them to his exclusive use. He is
simply gaining a legal right to use the existing improvements. That usage is not likely to have a
significant impact on the depreciated value of the bridge and road.
Severance Damages
The HOA appraiser estimated 5 -10% severance damages to the adjoining properties,
which the HOA calculates as at least $163,255. The problem with this argument is that these
purported damages are attributed to separate parcels that are not directly involved in this action.
These damages have nothing to do with Outlot A on which the cartway is located. The single
family home lots owned by the HOA members have not been severed in any respect. Severance
damages cannot be attributed to parcels that merely adjoin the parcel at issue. Staff sees no merit
to the severance damages argument.
Damages — Conclusion
The creation of a cartway over an existing private road will adversely affect the value of
the road. Even though the anticipated usage of the cartway is minimal, it will nevertheless no
longer be a truly private road and will be viewed as a loss to the owners. It is very difficult to
put a dollar value on that diminution in value.
Petitioner suggests using the HOA's land value of $.50 per square foot multiplied by the
square footage of the cartway, which equals the sale value of the land underlying the cartway,
and then dividing by six to take into account the six property owners who will utilize the
property. This 1/6 concept was also used by the HOA in its maintenance fee proposal. This
approach results in the following:
Land Value $1,343
Improvements $50,639
Total damages $51,982
Maintenance
The HOA provided historical maintenance figures and then suggested that a set annual amount
would not be equitable given anticipated future costs. That argument makes sense, although it
makes the amount variable and possibly more difficult to enforce. The formula proposed by the
HOA, however, suggests that 1/6 of the entire private road be factored in, not just the cartway
portion. As stated above, staff sees no merit in that approach. Instead, the maintenance costs
should be broken down into two parts: those unique to the bridge and the road underlying the
cartway, and those common to the entire road. Petitioner should pay 1/6 of the former and 1/6 of
•
•
•
12.28% of the latter. In that manner, Petitioner will pay his portion of the maintenance costs
related to the cartway.
RECOMMENDATION
The council will need to make a determination regarding the location of the cartway and the
damages associated with the establishment of such cartway. The information contained herein is
intended to provide council with guidance in reaching this conclusion. The draft resolution will
need to be completed by staff and the City Attorney based on the council's deliberation.

CITY OF LINO LAKES
RESOLUTION NO. 12 -59
ESTABLISHING A CARTWAY — OAK BROOK PENINSULA
WHEREAS, Petitioner Adam C. Johnson petitioned for a cartway pursuant to Minnesota
Statutes section 435.37; and
WHEREAS, the Council passed Resolution 12 -29 calling for a hearing on the Petition,
which hearing took place on July 9, 2012; and
WHEREAS, the Council received evidence offered by Petitioner and the affected
landowners and has adhered to the statutory requirements for establishing a cartway.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that, based upon the evidence in the record,
the Council makes the following findings of fact and conclusions:
Findings of Fact
1. All affected landowners were served with the Petition, which was also posted at City
Hall.
2. Petitioner resides at 2055 Otter Lake Drive in Lino Lakes.
3. Petitioner owns a tract of land containing at least five acres, the legal description of
which is attached hereto as Exhibit A ( "the Land ").
4. The Land is abutted on the west by a channel leading to Otter Lake and on all other sides
by lands not owned by Petitioner.
a. The channel is man -made and was constructed to provide boat access to Otter
Lake from a number of parcels, including Petitioner's residence. The channel
separates Petitioner's residence from the Land.
b. According to Anoka County GIS, the channel is approximately 25 -30 feet wide
where it runs between Petitioner's two parcels.
c. The existing private bridge over the channel was built instead of a culvert for the
express purpose of allowing boat access to Otter Lake via the channel.
d. The channel's depth varies from year to year, but it was designed to be navigable
and was in fact previously navigated by boat.
5. An existing private drive extends from the eastern terminus of Otter Lake Drive along the
entire southern boundary of the Land. The private drive is Outlot A of Oak Brook
•
•
Peninsula and is owned by the Oak Brook Peninsula Homeowners Association (the
"HOA ").
6. The private drive can serve as the cartway for purposes of accessing the Land.
7. It is reasonable to utilize the existing paved portion (which is two rods wide) of the
private drive for the cartway, beginning at the eastern terminus of Otter Lake Drive and
extending eastward as shown on the survey attached hereto as Exhibit B. In addition, to
provide reasonable access from the north edge of the existing paved drive north to the
southern boundary of the Land, the cartway is to include a portion of Outlot A 33 feet in
width as shown on Exhibit B.
8. The City has incurred costs and expenses in connection with these cartway proceedings.
Petitioner escrowed $7,500 to apply to the City's costs. Any costs incurred over and
above that amount shall be paid by Petitioner.
9. Petitioner intends to use the cartway for the following purposes:
a. Occasionally accessing the Land with residential lawn maintenance equipment;
and
b. Occasionally accessing the Land with normal residential vehicles.
10. The Land is not to be used for commercial purposes or any other purpose contrary to City
ordinances.
11. As the owner of Outlot A, the HOA will incur the following damages as a result of the
creation of the cartway:
a. Damage to the underlying land: $
b. Damage to the existing improvements: $
12. It is not appropriate for the City to maintain the cartway given its private usage. The cost
of maintenance must be equitably divided between the HOA and Petitioner based on
factors such as:
a. Frequency of use.
b. Type and weight of vehicles or equipment.
c. Distance traveled on the cartway to Petitioner's property.
13. The City finds that:
a. Petitioner's use will be sporadic and infrequent. The HOA members will
continue to use the private drive as a residential street for access to their homes.
•
•
•
b. Residential vehicles and lawn maintenance equipment will be utilized by
Petitioner. The HOA members will cause typical residential traffic to occur on
the private drive.
c. The distance traveled over Outlot A for the cartway is less than half the distance
of the existing private drive.
d. The HOA's costs for maintaining the private bridge and road vary from year to
year, depending upon the type of maintenance required.
Conclusions
1. Petitioner owns a tract of land containing at least five acres that is accessible only by a
water channel or over the lands of others.
2. The channel is a navigable waterway.
3. Because of its size, there is no practicable access across the channel in the absence of a
bridge.
4. Petitioner has met the statutory requirements for establishing a cartway in order to obtain
access to the Land.
5. Utilizing the existing private drive along Outlot A as the cartway is the least damaging
and disruptive location for the cartway. It would be unreasonable and more disruptive to
require another bridge to be built over the channel between Petitioner's two parcels.
6. The cartway shall be the full width of the existing drive, plus an area to the north of the
drive for access to the Land, as further described in Exhibit B.
7. All costs incurred by the City shall be deducted from Petitioner's escrow and the
remainder, if any, returned to Petitioner. Any and all additional costs shall be paid by
Petitioner.
8. It is not in the public's interest to expend City funds on the cartway, either for initial
construction or ongoing maintenance.
9. Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes section 435.37, subdivision 1(c), Petitioner shall pay the
City $ in damages for the establishment of the cartway. Said damages
shall be forwarded to the HOA. Damages must be paid to the City before the cartway is
opened.
10. Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes section 435.37, subdivisions 1(d) and 2, all costs of
construction and maintenance of the small access area between the north edge of the
existing private drive and the south boundary of the Land, as illustrated in Exhibit B,
shall be the sole responsibility of Petitioner.
11. Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes section 435.57, subdivision 2, Petitioner shall pay the
HOA for maintenance costs directly related to maintenance of the existing private drive
3
•
•
•
to the extent it serves as the cartway, as shown on Exhibit B. The remainder of the
existing private drive shall continue to be maintained by the HOA at its sole cost.
Petitioner shall pay 1/6 of the maintenance costs directly attributable to the bridge and
that portion of the roadway underlying the cartway. To the extent maintenance costs are
incurred for the entire road as whole, Petitioner shall pay 1/6 of 12.28% of the total cost.
Said payments shall be made at the same time and in the same manner as members of the
HOA are required to make such payments for the same maintenance costs.
Adopted by the Council of the City of Lino Lakes this day of October, 2012.
The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was introduced by Council member
and duly seconded by Council Member and upon vote
being taken, the following voted in favor:
And the following voted against:

Joe:
Mr. Johnson obtained the exact distance from the end of the Cul -de -sac to the point of entry (483.5'), including the
distance from road to his property at the entry point (5'.) See attached. Using the requirement for width of a cartway
pursuant to MN Stat. 435.37, the required size would be 488.5' x. 33' (16,120.5 square feet.)
A fair way to look at the minimal damage issue is to take the Respondent's appraisal of $.50 cost per sf for unimproved
land (Appraisal, p. 3) and multiply it by the size of the easement:
Cost Per Square Foot $.50
16,120.5 sf
Easement
1
Total Value of
• Land $8,060.25
Because Mr. Johnson is only seeking access by easement you would further divide the total land value by the number of
properties that routinely use the easement, which is 6 including Mr. Johnson, for a total damages of $1,343.38. Note
that my calculation does not take into account Mr. Johnson's minimal use of the roadway. The City Council would
certainly be justified in ordering lesser damages.

Dear Mr. Karlson:

Maintenance Expenses
At the Council workshop, the Homeowner's Association was asked to provide some figures
relating to the historic costs of maintenance of the private roadway.
EXPENSES
SNOW PLOW
BLVD MOW
INSURANCE
STREET LIGHT
MISC
LEGAL FEES
STORM SEWER
TOTAL
2011
$2,350
$1,550
$652
$480
$200
$5,232
Five Year Total $28,766
2010 2009 2008 2007
$1,575 $2,100 $1,750 $1,200
$1,300 $1,400 $1,390 51,135
$628 $628 $628 $625
$480 $480 $480 $480
$18 $200
$105 212
$6,700
$4,108 $4,838 $4,448 $10,140
Five Year Average $5,753.20 per year
As is depicted above, the Association has incurred average annual expenses of $5,753.20 over
the past 5 years. The expenses have varied with the highest year being $10,140 in 2007 and
the lowest year being $4,108 in 2010. Additionally, these figures do not include actual
maintenance and repair of the infrastructure as none took place during that timeframe. The
Association recognizes that it needs to now crack fill and seal coat the road. It has obtained
bids for both. The crack filling will cost 59,130 and the seal coating will cost $17,150. The
association plans to do the crack filling in 2013 and the seal coating in 2014.
Given the variations in expenses and the fact that the Association will likely be facing
significantly higher maintenance costs for mill and overlays, bridge repairs and eventually,
road and bridge reconstruction, we do not believe attempting to set a dollar figure for the
Petitioner's contribution towards maintenance and repairs would be an equitable approach,
even with an automatic inflationary increase.
A much more equitable approach would be to fix a percentage of the actual future costs that
would be the responsibility of the Petitioner. The Association believes a 1/6 or 16.67%
obligation would be the most equitable approach to the Petitioner's share of the street
maintenance and repair expenses.

In re Cartway Petition
September 13, 2012

Thresholds That Would Require the Creation of a Cartway Have Not Been Met.
At the Workshop, the City Council seemed to assume that no dispute existed as to whether
the threshold issues are met in this case obligating the Council to create the Cartway. To be
dear, the Association does not believe the threshold issues are met or that the Council must
grant the Cartway. First, the Petitioner has access to the land to which he seeks a cartway;
specifically, with a bridge over the creek. The Council seems to be operating under the belief
that such a bridge would fall within the navigable waterway exception, but that is not the
case. The cartway statute was relatively recently amended to provide that when access is
available, but only by navigable waterway, then a cartway should still be required. The
predicate to the creation and application of the navigable waterway exception was that the
use of the navigable waterway is actually the sole means of access. In Mr. Johnson's case,
he can access the land without utilizing the creek. As the Association has demonstrated, he
could build a bridge over the creek. As such, the answer to the threshold question of
whether he has access to the land should be "yes" and the Council is not therefore obligated
to create the Cartway.
Additionally, as stated in our July 9, 2012 letter to the Council, as of 2006, all takings of
private property by Cities in Minnesota must be for public use or purpose. Minn. Stat.
§117.012, subd. 2. In the Council's March 26, 2012 Resolution the Council found that "[ilt is
the Council's intention to retain private ownership of that driveway. It is not in the public's
interest to expend public funds on the cartway or to make the cartway into a public road."
Based on that finding, we believe the Council is precluded by State Law from taking the
private property rights from the Association.
The Petitioned -For Cartway is an Enormous Reaction to a Small Problem
It is useful to recall that the objectives of the Petitioner that have lead to the Petitioner's
request that the City of Lino Lakes convert the existing private roadway to a public roadway
were the stated need to walk to his land 2 -3 times per week, to drive an ATV to his land 1 -2
times per week in the Spring, Summer and Fall seasons, and to drive a small tractor to his
land 2 -3 times per year. First, these objectives can easily be accomplished with a small
bridge over the creek for those seasons. Further, the Petitioner already has access during
periods of low water and winter. Second and importantly, the alternative being suggested,
to create a cartway and in so doing, taking private property interests for public use, exposes
the City of Lino Lakes to significant exposure for damages from the taking, with only the
Petitioner to turn to for indemnification. This is another reason the bond required should be
for the damages that could be awarded.
At the hearing, the valuation of the taking was established. The only credible information in
the record as to amount of the damages that will result from the taking is the appraisal that
was provided by the Association. Pursuant to that appraisal, when factoring in the value of
the underlying land that is being taken, the depreciated value of the private improvements
that are being taken for public use and the severance damages (the reduction in value of the
Association homeowners' retained land due to the conversion from a private to public road),
the damages are at least $747,987.25. Though the Council may believe that this figure seems

high, when considering that sometime in the future, this cartway and the property owner's
use of the newly- created public road could result in an ability to devlop that land that would
not otherwise exist. If not today, that right could be of great value to this large parcel of
land.
It appears that the Council is contemplating the following steps:
1. Deciding that no access is available to the land, despite the clear example by the
Association's bridge that the Petitioner has reasonable access by building a
bridge.
2. Deciding that the City has authority to take private property for a use that is has
already said will not be public.
3. Defining the size of the cartway to be something less than the full roadway
despite knowing that the public will inevitably use the entire roadway if for no
other reason than to turn around on the dead -end road.
4. Setting a damages figure less than $747,987.25, despite the fact that no evidence
in the record supports any lower figure and therefore anything less would be
arbitrary on its face.
5. Setting a fixed - dollar - amount maintenance obligation that cannot function as an
equitable share of the future road maintenance and repair costs over the
subsequent decades and longer.
The question for the Council is why consider taking any of these steps and exposing itself as
a risk agent for Mr. Johnson, just to solve a stated need to occasionally walk to the land and
sporadically drive and ATV or tractor. Particularly when a much smaller solution exists that
does not involve the City - namely Mr. Johnson should build a small bridge that will
accommodate pedestrians, ATV's and a small tractor.
Very truly yours,

CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA ITEM 6B
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Jason C. Wedel, City Engineer
MEETING DATE: October 8, 2012
TOPIC: Consider Resolution No. 12 -103 Approving Final Pay Request for
Sealcoat Striping
VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5 Vote Required
BACKGROUND
At the August 13, 2012 meeting, City Council awarded the contract for the striping of the 2012
Sealcoat project areas to Century Fence.
The striping is now complete and he contractor is requesting fmal payment in the amount of
$15,388.70. A copy of the fmal invoice is attached. The contractor has satisfactorily completed all
work and has provided all necessary documentation.
The original contract amount was for $13,230.00. The final payment therefore exceeds the original
contract amount by $2,158.70. The additional cost is due to the actual amount of striping that was
performed exceeding the estimated quantities included in the request for quotes. The fmal
quantities were measured and confirmed and staff is confident that the fmal payment accurately
reflects the amount of work that was performed.
