AGENDA ITEM 3C
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Linda Waite Smith, City Administrator
DATE OF MEETING: December 18, 2000
TOPIC: Authorize Additional Compensation for Acting City
Administrator
VOTE REQUIRED: Simple Majority
BACKGROUND
Recently the City Administrator took a six week medical leave of absence. During that
period Director of Administration Dan Tesch served as acting City Administrator.
In recognition of the additional responsibilities he assumed, we are requesting that Mr.
Tesch be granted additional compensation in the amount of 10% of his normal salary for
the six weeks the City Administrator was absent.
This has been our practice for unionized employees who perform higher level duties for
at least two consecutive weeks. The source of funds would be salary savings that accrued
during the administrator's leave.
OPTIONS
1. Approve 10% additional salary for Dan Tesch for six weeks.
2. Decline to approve 10% additional salary for Dan Tesch for six weeks.
3. Return the item to staff for revision.

TOPIC: Resolution 2000 -124 amending the 2000 General Fund Budget
(Amendment #2)
VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5
BACKGROUND
In 1999 the City Council accepted the 1998 Financial Report. This report identified excess
revenues in the General Fund, of which the City Council designated $24,000 towards the
purchase of voting machines. The machines were purchased in 2000. The Election capital outlay
budget should be amended to reflect the purchase of the machines and the dollars will be taken
from the General Fund Designated fund balance. (See the attached Schedule A, #1)
Secondly, the 2000 General & Water Funds should be amended to record various council actions
throughout the year for salary adjustments and technology improvements in the amount of
$75,675 to be funded by accumulated antenna lease revenues per Resolution 00 -66. (See the
attached Schedule A, #2).
Finally, the proposed Black Duck trail extension budgeted in 2000 will not occur until 2001
following final acquisition of the easements. Staff recommends that the $50,000 budgeted for the
extension in the 2000 General Fund budget be transferred to the Dedicated Parks fund to finance
the project in 2001. (See the attached Schedule A. #3).
OPTIONS
1. Adopt Resolution 2000 -124.

Staff members present: City Engineer, John Powell; Community Development Director,
Brian Wessel; Economic Development Assistant, Mary Divine (part); Chief of Police,
Dave Pecchia; and Public Services Director, Rick De Gardner
Mayor Bergeson advised Mr. Daryl Silverness is present representing the YMCA.
The Community Development Director introduced Mr. Peter Coyle, attorney for Mr. and
Mrs. Tagg, Mr. Ross Fefercorn and Mr. John Duffy, a team of developers for the Town
Center.
TOWN CENTER UPDATE, MARY ALICE DIVINE
The Community Development Director advised the second phase of the Livable
Communities application must be submitted on Friday, September 23, 2000. Progress
was made at the special Council work session last Saturday. A discussion was held
regarding the density of the project. Staff is working on a plan that would involve 22
units per acre and possibly pairing down to 20 units per acres. Staff has requested a
revision of the design that will refine the architectural design, reducing density further,
and address concerns regarding rental units. The revision will be available in
approximately six (6) weeks.
The Community Development Director continued advising the second phase of the
application will be dependent upon the Council's approval of the application. A letter has
been received from the Tagg's Attorney indicating support of the Council's approval of
the application.
Mr. Coyle came forward and stated his clients are encouraged by the progress being made
to the Town Center project. The way the plan was initially received it was clear that the
Tagg's would be partners with the City. Mr. and Mrs. Tagg have no desire to be
development partners with the City. Mr. and Mrs. Tagg would like the City to make them
1

CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION
SEPTEMBER 20, 2000
a fair offer for their property. The Tagg's would prefer they no longer be subjected to any
further details and timing issues relating to the Town Center project. The Tagg's would
like their stake in the project decided. Mr. and Mrs. Tagg would like the City to buy them
out. Currently, Mr. and Mrs. Tagg cannot move forward because they are locked into the
City's planning process. Mr. and Mrs. Tagg will continue to be supportive of the City
relating to the project.
Mayor Bergeson advised purchase of the Tagg's property is an option. The City would
like to explore that option if Council Members are agreeable. The Council can ask the
City Attorney and staff to explore that option. He stated he does not believe the City is in
the position to buy the property out right. The purchase may occur with a contract that
will hopefully come together quickly.
Council Member Carlson noted Council Members have not seen a copy of the letter sent
by Mr. Coyle. Staff distributed a copy of the letter to Council Members.
Council directed staff to work with the City Attorney and Mr. and Mrs. Tagg regarding
the purchase of the Tagg's property.
Council Member Carlson expressed concern regarding the financial implications. She
stated the consultant in 1998 advised the City it couldn't bond for more than one million
dollars. She also expressed concern regarding the City having to construct the
infrastructure. She stated she needs to see the bottom line figures.
Council Member Reinert clarified that Mr. and Mrs. Tagg would like the property sold as
one piece. The City should explore other option the property can be sold without the City
being involved. He stated he prefers the City does not become a developer.
Mr. Ross Fefercorn came forward and stated he has been working on the revisions of the
master plan for the Town Center. The revisions will address all concerns. The plan is a
prototype of a development being built in south Maplewood. He stated he attended an
urban conference in San Diego that studied Town Centers. Issues dealing with
acquisition are typical with this type of plan. It is very common for a city to become
involved in some type of acquisition. He stated he would like to put together a
presentation regarding these types of development.
Mayor Bergeson stated the Council visited Mr. Engstrom's developments. He stated he is
very interested in the details.
Council Member Carlson stated the visit to Fields of St. Croix was a real eye opener. She
asked why the two -(2) developers have not made an offer to the Tagg's for their property.
Mr. Fefercorn advised that typically a builder /developer only develops one or two (2)
types of developments. The plan calls for commercial, hotel, rental units and senior
rentals, which his company does not develop.
CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION
SEPTEMBER 20, 2000
• Council Member Carlson asked if there is the possibility for a three -(3) party partnership

to purchase the property.
Mr. Fefercorn advised a three -(3) party partnership is an option that should be explored.
Mr. Duffy stated that his company is in the rental housing business. He stated he has
provided a booklet that is available. He stated his company can only do one component
of the project.
Mayor Bergeson stated there is some concern regarding the rental property and how it
will develop.
Mr. Duffy stated he does not yet have all the numbers and dollar figures. A market study
has not yet been done on rental housing in this area. He stated he believes there is a need
for it. The City must decide what density level it will allow. There is the possibility of
16 -20 units per acre. He stated that his company typically bids the contracting out.
Council Member Dahl asked if Mr. Duffy would sell the :property to a management
company or if his company will run the complex. She also asked if they will be involved
with the senior housing.
Mr. Duffy stated his company builds and owns the complex. He stated his company is a
long -term holder of the property. He stated they would get involved in the community
and is interested in senior housing.
Council Member Reinert stated the Council has been told the project can not go above 75
units of senior housing because of a study.
The Community Development Director stated the proposal is for 75 units. Without a
study it is not known if there is the potential for more units.
Mr. Duffy added he will do a market study when a purchase agreement is in place.
Mayor Bergeson asked Mr. Duffy to comment on the concept of affordable housing.
Mr. Duffy explained that affordable housing earned a bad reputation in the past years. It
is now trying to earn back a good reputation. He stated the key to successful affordable
housing is the management of it. He gave the definition of affordable housing noting that
for the Metropolitan Council funding will be 50 — 60% of the median income and 20% of
the units will be affordable. He noted the aspects of affordable housing that his company
puts into place to make it successful. He stated his company builds affordable housing
based on tax credits, deferred loans and grants. He noted he has six -(6) development
within the Twin Cities and will provide a list of those development for Council Members.
Council Member Reinert inquired about other residential options that can be developed.

CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION
SEPTEMBER 20, 2000
Mr. Fefercorn stated residential options are limited because of the size of the property.
There is an opportunity to build to the school that would create a thread to the Town
Center and area parks.
Council Member Carlson commented on the need for assisted living in the area.
Mrs. Tagg stated the City has acted as a developer in the past. The City has made
themselves the master planner of her land and should stick to their commitment buy
purchasing the land. She stated that an offer from developers is contingent upon the
Livable Communities grant.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE, BRIAN WESSEL
Staff advised there is another Comprehensive Plan work session scheduled for Saturday,
September 24, 2000. The current Metropolitan Council contact has left and the City has
been reassigned to another representative. The new contact should attend a Council work
session to introduce himself.
Council Member O'Donnell clarified that the Council has requested information
regarding the number of buildable acres in the MUSA and MUSA bank needed to
complete the Comprehensive Plan vision.
TWILIGHT ACRES ASSESSMENT ROLL, JOHN POWELL
Staff advised consideration and adoption of the assessment roll for Twilight Acres in on
the regular Council agenda. This item has been continued from previous Council
meetings. Staff advised the work group has had further discussion regarding the issues
and the survey results have been obtained. Staff reviewed the survey results noting that
residents are generally not opposed to the project but want the assessments limited to the
benefit of the property. The assessments went from $16,000 to $8,800 on Vicky Lane.
The assessments went from $25,000 to $16,300 on Nancy Drive.
Staff continued stating the assessments are lower due to revisions in the project but are
still not in the range of the estimated benefit to the property. Staff would like to explore
the possibility of using County funds for the gap in the project costs. Staff advised the
City can make a case for the funds due to the health concern of failing septics. The City
Administrator will be contacting the Council regarding the process. Staff advised the
Council still has to deal with the original project. Staff recommended the Council not
adopt the assessment roll for the project, but direct staff to prepare a new project report
that only includes sewer and boulevard restoration. Council should also direct staff to
pursue funding from the County.
Council directed staff to prepare a resolution for the regular Council meeting that includes
the following:
•
•
•
CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION
1. Denial of the assessment roll.
2. Initiation of a new project report.
3. Initiation of a grant submittal to the County.
SEPTEMBER 20, 2000
Council Member O'Donnell asked if the City is pursuing the referendum option. Staff
advised the referendum option will not be pursued at this time. Long term, a referendum
is a possibility.
Mayor Bergeson stated there is always a judgment involved in appraisals. He asked if a
project is feasible if the appraisal is within a couple of thousand dollars of the project
cost. Staff advised the appraisal process is not a precise process. If the appraisal is

Mr. Jon Olson, County E

, County Commissioner, is present this
forward and stated the purpose of the meeting is
ject and present options that are available to the City. He
foject and noted the proposed project was discussed
, 2000. That meeting is what led to the letter from the
City and the County's ronse.
Mr. Olson reviewed option A noting that was the plan that was originally proposed in
April 2000.
Mr. Olson referred to option B noting it is a modified proposal that was presented to the
City Council in August 2000. He advised the problem with option B is it is trying to fit a
wide road section into a narrow right -of -way. The option will require an additional 5'
wide trail easement in some areas. A median could be put in place but would prohibit
left -hand turns in all locations except where absolutely necessary. The County would
purchase 100' minimum right -of -way.
Mr. Olson summarized the City's letter and the County's response advising that the road
section cannot be limited to 52' or 62' feet if it remains a County road. The County will
CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION NOVEMBER 8, 2000
consider the possibility of a number of lanes being phased in over time. Neither the
County nor the City has an jurisdiction over reducing the speed limit on the roadway.
The project intends to include a signal light for the transition from Anoka County to
Ramsey County at County Road J. Ramsey County has requested that the intersection be
completed as part of the project.
Mr. Olson continued advising that since the Public Information Meeting and the last
Council work session, Anoka County has revised its proposed cross - section for this
roadway so that the roadway includes two (2) lanes in each direction, a median, a right
and left turn lanes were appropriate. The County has removed the eight (8) foot shoulders
on each side of the roadway from its proposed design, and has lessened its right -of -way
requirements from 60 feet on each side of the centerline to 50 feet on each side of the
centerline. These changes have been made in response to public opposition to the project
and specifically to the concern about the width and distance to existing structures. The
result of this change will be that in addition to the 50 foot of roadw asement on one
side of the road, an additional trail easement may be necessary City has
requested that trails be installed. These changes are current ltnc•' sled the design work
being conducted by TKDA.
Mr. Olson reviewed option B and a drawing of what the urre roposal would look like.
He also reviewed option C noting it is a narrowed' d o' rsion of option B.

option C does require a 5' trail easement in some locations.
The City Engineer explained why the 5' easement is needed in some locations.
Council Member Dahl asked why a three -(3) lane roadway with a shared middle lane is
not an option. Mr. Olson stated that is not a safe design for a roadway unless there is a
lower speed limit.
Council Member Dahl suggested shared lanes for left turns only. She asked if that is an
option if the right turn lanes are only in strategic locations.

CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION NOVEMBER 8, 2000
• Mr. Olson advised a three -(3) lane roadway is not an option on a road that has a speed
limit over 40 m.p.h.
•
Council Member Reinert asked who has jurisdiction over the speed limit. Mr. Olson
advised the Commissioner of Transportation determines speed limits. He explained the
process used to change a speed limit noting most roadways under 55 M.P.H. will go up
after a speed study is conducted.
Council Member Reinert asked how the City could end up with a speed limit for a new
roadway as compared to the roadway that currently exists.
The City Engineer advised that if a speed study is conducted, it would include the habits
of drivers currently using the road.
Council Member Carlson expressed concern regarding receiving t urrent information
and options right before this meeting. She noted the Council h•requ g ed the
information prior to the meeting. She stated each option as sfo 105 120' of right -of-
way that perhaps is not used. She stated that is too much ght f- _ ` She noted the
meeting in March 2000 is the first the Council heard ajaou s pr ject. At that meeting,
traffic counts and a map showing the proposed project t 06 was distributed. She
stated that was not enough information. There h scussion that the project is
from Lake Drive to County Road J, however • area hows the project to 35W. She
expressed concern regarding residents on th north :.,d of the project.
Council Member Carlson stated neit thy' Shoreview plan nor the Comprehensive Plan
for Lino Lakes calls for a divided ., e current Comprehensive Plan calls for a
four -(4) lane undivided highw. T' Sho view plan calls for a two (2) lane highway.
The City of Shoreview has . reed to not extend the project north of Chippewa
for seven (7) years. The r' : s fo a 62' wide three (3) lane highway south of
Chippewa with the st '.ing o anes to be controlled by the City of Shoreview. The
City of Shoreview has fir` Bey County to come back with another plan because they
do not want a five (5)1 ®e hi hway. The City of Shoreview will reject the current plan.
She stated the City need o work with the City of Shoreview on this project. She
proposed option F, which includes the Council vote on options A -E and the City work
with the City of Shoreview and the two (2) counties to find a compromise.
Mayor Bergeson inquired about the distinction between this project and the project five
(5) years out. Mr. Olson stated the City has put pressure on the County to include the
northern stretch of roadway in the County's plans. The schedule for funding on that
portion is 2003 -2006. He stated he is willing to meet with the City of Shoreview and
Ramsey County to discuss options. He advised, however, that he will be designing the
highway, not a committee.
The City Engineer referred to a memo from the City of Shoreview to the Metropolitan
Council. The City of Shoreview has requested a regional perspective of the plan. The
CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION NOVEMBER 8, 2000
Metropolitan Council has indicated Highway 49 is a regional roadway and should be
constructed as such.
Council Member Dahl stated that each of the options has a median from 4' to 15' wide.
She asked if the County is open to eliminating the median.
Mr. Olson stated that the direction he has been given includes a median. A median will
also be constructed on the bridge.
Council Member Dahl inquired about the length of the roadway. Mr. Olson indicated the
roadway is approximately two (2) miles long.
Council Member Carlson stated that until recently, the goal of the Council and
community is to reach a compromise that will keep in mind the rights of the residents and
provide a thoroughfare for the community. She read a quote from�.horeview Council
Member regarding the forcing of traffic. She stated she wants the Couricit to vote on this
at the next Council meeting. A discussion should be at the ezc'�t tunc work session
prior to that meeting.
Council Member Reinert stated there are three (3) options tha not address the
concerns of residents. The options will be voted 6w � owever, the City will still have
a bridge that is in need of repair. He inquires l `; optioi s for the bridge.
Mr. Olson stated the City would have t a p an to improve the bridge. The
improvement would include a four (4

Mayor Bergeson inquired a idth of the existing right -of -way and the process
used to acquire right -of- , ° Olen advised the current right -of -way varies from 66'
to 83' feet. The right -•f -way `: ready been dedicated on the west side from Aggrate
Lane to north of Blue explained the process used to acquire right -of -way and
the factors that determi th- value of property. If an agreement is not reached, the
eminent domain process ill be used. He noted that 85% of property is acquired through
negotiation.
Council Member O'Donnell asked if the alignment for the road is the same for each
option. Mr. Olson advised the alignment of the road is the same as the right -of -way
except for l mile where there is vacant land.
Council Member O'Donnell requested a document that shows each option and the impact
to each business and home. Mr. Olson advised he does not have that information and the
County does not plan to provide that.
Council Member O'Donnell stated the project has a significant impact to some residents.
The City needs to understand that impact. Homes and business may be lost.

CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION NOVEMBER 8, 2000
Mr. Olson advised the County would acquire a minimum of 100' of right -of -way. This
has been part of the County's plan for decades. The City has agreed to that. The
maximum impact to homes or businesses is 12' of right -of -way.
Mayor Bergeson inquired about the x's on the map. Mr. Olson advised the setback line is
40' feet. The x's indicate where the 100' right -of -way is out of that 40' setback. There
are currently about six (6) cases that the setback won't be met.
Council Member Carlson inquired about the width of the roadway now, especially by the
townhomes. Mr. Olson indicated he does not have that number.
Council Member Carlson asked if 20' feet of additional right -of -way will be requested as
the project goes down Lake Drive. The City Engineer advised that as development
occurs, the other side of the roadway will require 20' of right -of -way.
Council Member Carlson stated this is another example of thin

nts without them
The City Engineer stated the City is giving the County a eas Tent but is saving money
on the project. A typical County plan includes 6 fight -of -way from the center
line.
Mr. Olson advised that as part of the Co .r � Plan, there is a requirement for
right -of -way. In 1994, a letter was to rom e County asking cities to consider
right -of -way for County road dev ere is a new law in effect where the cities
must allow for a 30 day review e •r th ounty. Right -of -way is sought after because
it lowers the cost of project : s . a o a way for development to help defray costs.
Ms. Margaret Langfi - d, Coun ommissioner, came forward and reminded the Council
there are two (2) other • . he apologized that the Council did not receive this
information prior to the p ' eeting. She stated it is the primary job of the County Engineer
to design safe roads. It i° . so the job of elected officials. This issue is not about how the
road looks or how close it is too homes. The project only affects six (6) properties. She
stated the County does not want to take property. However, the County can not fix the
state issue of road problems. The Metropolitan Council feels the project is appropriate.
A solution is needed to move traffic. She stated that possibly the traffic volume amount
is negotiable. She stated it would be helpful to have a meeting with both cities and
Counties. The City has hard choices to make. The State has told the County to do this
project. The County won't be back for this project for 4 -5 years and that may be too late.
The City and County need to think about the future.
Council Member O'Donnell asked if the Council has received information before about
the six (6) properties that are affected. Mr. Olson advised six (6) properties will be non-
conforming because of the setbacks.
CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION NOVEMBER 8, 2000
Council Member O'Donnell advised he needs that level of detail to better understand the
impact and to take a vote. Mr. Olson stated the City Engineer has the information to
determine which properties are non- confoinung.
Council Member O'Donnell stated he needs to know how many homes and businesses
will be lost and which ones.
Ms. Langfield stated the City does not have to conform. There are creative things that
can be done. Some homes and businesses will have to be moved.
Council Member O'Donnell advised he can not make a decision without that information.
Mayor Bergeson directed the City Engineer to work with the County to get a summary of
that information. The City Engineer advised that information can be obtained. However,
assumptions about the roadway will have to be made.
Mr. Olson stated information about the appraisal will not be c = °ad. e average
property owner will lost approximately 17 feet.
Council Member Reinert stated the big concern is t e width o e roadway and right -of-
way. He asked why the County can't build a road e s than 100' feet of right-of-
way. Mr. Olson advised the County is buyingxtlr rht-o - ay so it won't be an issue in
the future if it is needed. Additional right -o way is eeded for utilities and a path. Most
of the right -of -way will be green space . »If th=; oad< constructed under the minimum
design, it is probable that the road w e to be widened in the future. A standard
arterial roadway in Anoka Count M ` of right -of -way.
Council Member Reinert st.t= ounty is pushing the limits with 100' of right -of-
way. He stated he would R t? see other option. Option C seems to be the most
reasonable but flexibility is n " ®ed.
Mr. Olson stated he has direction regarding the design of the road from the County.
Council Member Reinert stated his goal is to have the road constructed in as small a
space as possible. Mr. Olson explained the reason for different widths of a roadway.
Council Member Reinert asked if there are any variations possible regarding the width of
the berms and median in option C. Mr. Olson stated he believes the City will be very
unhappy with option C. Option C is available except for the intersections at Ash and
Birch.
Council Member Carlson asked if option C will be wider and Birch and Ash. Mr. Olson
advised option B would be used at the intersections of Birch and Ash.

Council Member Carlson stated she would like to see a drawing where the roadway is in
relation to the houses. She stated there are six (6) properties at the intersections that will
be impacted. She stated she needs more detail.
Mr. Olson stated he has provided the drawings to the City Engineer. Buildings and
setbacks are indicated on the drawings. There are two (2) businesses at the intersection
that are non - conforming. The property owners will be compensated for market value,
business value, and relocation costs.
Mayor Bergeson directed the City Engineer to make copies of the drawings available to
Council Members and residents.
Ms. Gail Weiner, 6356 Hodgson Road, came forward and stated she is representing her
neighborhood. She stated the project will directly affect her and her neighbors. She
stated the neighbors have had discussions regarding the project an ve indicated it is all
or nothing. Phasing the project is a problem relating to selling e pro. y. The property
is lower in value and can't be sold. She stated the roadway will X19' et from her front
door. The roadway will be 18 -20 feet from all the neighbors' font° •rs. She indicated
there is no compromise for this neighborhood. She std d ho would have to be
moved back or bought out completely. She stated she 11 e buy out by
approximately 10' feet. If the County takes 100 -1e` roperty will lose value. At this

Mr. Ken Reichert, 6669 P • s lac :;came forward and stated his property backs up to
Hodgson Road. He s • ted he : reciates where the County Engineer and the County
Commissioner are co Their objective is to move traffic. He asked if the
residents of Lino Lakes e r 'sponsible to make traffic run smoother for other
communities. The main bjective of this road is to make traffic connection. He stated
that eventually this community won't care and there will be nothing for residents to
protect. This project will affect everyone in the City of Lino Lakes. He asked who was
going to build the road before turn back money became available. He referred to an
earlier plan that did not include a divided highway.
Mr. Olson advised the County had the choice of taking the road back from MnDOT. The
County chose to take the road back to be eligible for the funds.
The City Engineer advised the City was never going to be reconstructing this roadway.
Mr. Olson stated MnDOT may have had a conceptual plan that did not show a divided
• highway.
CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION NOVEMBER 8, 2000
The City Engineer stated that project was for the original bridge project to Birch Street.
Mr. Reichert stated that the point he is making is that the County gets money and they
have to spend it. This is a very emotional issue. The residents here are not concerned
about Blaine residents going to Blaine. The project will end up with additional traffic.
Six (6) homes are affected. He stated he wants to make sure the Council is representing
the City and not the County. He stated he agrees with safety issues, however, does not
see how it will be safer with the additional traffic. He stated the speed limit is being
stuffed down the resident's throats. He added that complaints can reduce the speed limit
on that road.
Mayor Bergeson advised the County Engineer has indicated what typically happens when
a traffic study is done.
Mr. Reichert stated he does not believe the speed limit would gc up. w - width of the
road is a big concern. Another concern is the divided highway 4 a dian. Turns will
be unsafe. If the road goes to 55 m.p.h. people will drive h. there will be even
more accidents. People will be losing property. How °il 6ple ack out of their
driveways across five (5) lanes of traffic? He stated the ity ° s to represent all the
citizens of Lino Lakes. Living on the roadway is not -only issue. He stated his family
has enjoyed living here but will move if this rit8ttgoes rough. He stated he feels very
strongly about this issue because it will ruin he community of Lino Lakes.

Mr. Richard Anderson, 6 e Heron Drive, came forward and asked if his home

The City Engineer indi &ed his home does not meet the setback. He advised he will
investigate why it does n t meet the current setback.
Mr. Anderson asked if someone from the County will come out and discuss the value of
his property that is lost. He stated the impact will be dramatic. A roadway that goes from
one lane to two (2) lane will also impact this neighborhood tremendously. The accesses
have to be controlled or there will be more accidents. He stated he does not want to live
on his property if the project goes through. He begged the Council to choose option E.
He stated the City should slow down traffic. He indicated he does not care if the bridge
falls down. If the project goes through he stated he wants his house torn down. He stated
he researched the area and was told the road would not change. He stated he will not be
able to get his car out of the driveway with the new road. He stated he cannot sell his
house now because of the project. He stated the County will have to buy him out if the
road goes in.

CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION NOVEMBER 8, 2000
Mr. Olson stated there will be no additional right -of -way purchased in this case and
between Aggrate and Blue Heron.
Mr. Anderson stated the proposed road would decrease the value of his property.
However, the County does not see it that way since no additional right -of -way is needed.
Mr. Olson stated property value going down because of a new road is subjective. He
stated he would be surprised if an appraisal would show decreased value.
Mr. Anderson stated that is not correct. A new roadway would be like building 35E in
your backyard. He stated he will not be compensated and this will happen to other
families as well.
The City Engineer advised the County is pursuing a 100' right -of -way, not 120'.
Mr. Olson advised that when the property was platted, Hodgso . vas a incipal arterial.
It was platted with 50' of right -of -way. He stated he can't irpgi <that appraiser

a bus company that needs to get buses in and out.
Mayor Bergeson advised the City will get input from the Police Department and Fire
Department regarding emergency vehicle access.
Mr. Olson stated conflict points are not eliminated with painted medians. The traffic
knows where it should be with medians. The median is an important part of the project.
Ms. Skibsted stated she has lived here for 16 years and the road does need work. She
stated accidents have decreased with the additional stop signs. She stated a 15' foot
median is ridiculous. She stated she commutes and drives slowly and has yet to see an

A freeway will destroy the community.
Mr. Greg Gongeo, 6011 Hodgson, Farmers Insurance, asked if his business is non-

the City should be above the state method.
Mr. Olson stated there are two (2) businesses at the intersection that are non - conforming.
Mr. Gongeo wondered how much of a driveway his business will have. He also inquired
about access and parking for his business.
Mr. Olson referred to a map indicating the non - conforming properties. He stated he can't

this issue is indirectly aw;+ut(afety. The roadway is not necessary unsafe now. Stop
lights and a bike lane areneeded. A new road will not make it safer. He stated he wants
the Council to reject the options then work on the speed limit issue. He said the speed
limit should be lowered. The City of Shoreview is concerned about what Lino Lakes will
do. He stated he has a problem with any Council Members saying the issue is only 2.2
miles. Everyone knows that what is done here will be done in other sections. The City
does not want to look at that because then there will be even more problems. He stated
he would applaud the Council coming to a vote on this issue. He stated he does not know
what else the Council needs to look at. A vote for the project would be irrespective to
residents and the City of Shoreview. He indicated he would rather do nothing to the road.
The City can go from there after the options are voted down.

compassion from the City Council. It looks like the City will work toward what is best
for the City and its residents. She stated Ms. Langfield previously spoke about this issue
with compassion and understanding. However, after tonight it is clear where she stands
on this issue. She requested a copy of the road map noting the median is 15' sloping to 4'
and will not change. She stated the residents want to remind the Council there are 30
homes that will be affected. She asked that the Council take a vote on November 27,

Mayor Bergeson advised Council Member Carlson has suggested a vote be taken on
November 27, 2000. A vote on the issue will be discussed at the work session prior to

present listening and c psi. y help. He stated he would like to make it clear that
residents know that im -. ve ' ents are needed. He stated a two (2) mile stretch of
highway coming to an ar%pt halt seems ridiculous. Channeling four (4) lanes into two
(2) lanes will back traffic up to Lake Drive. The road does need lights, a wider bridge
and turn out lanes. Those items will eliminate a lot of problems. The County Engineer
saying that widening the road at Blue Heron will not impact his property is ridiculous.
The County knows there will be an impact. He asked that the Council consider all
comments and taxpayers when voting on this project.
Ms. Judy Bartels, 247 Baldwin Circle, stated she does not see any proposals on how
traffic will get out of the trailer park. She asked how residents are supposed to get to
work. She stated she was just in Boston and they have no left turn lanes with four (4)
lane highways. She stated there are no options for other streets either. She stated the
residents are taxpayers and a petition was brought forward. She inquired about what
happened with the petition keeping in mind that this is a Charter City. She stated the

petition should mean something. She stated the residents do not want this road. The
County should fix the bridge and put in lights.
Mr. Dan Lahlum, 6828 Sunrise Drive, came forward and stated the project does not affect
him now but it will. He asked if anyone knows how much stretch of the road that
Ramsey County has. He stated Ramsey County probably has five (5) times more than
Anoka County. Ramsey County should be dealing with this problem before Anoka
County. He inquired about the way Ramsey County is avoiding this. He asked how he
would cross Lake Drive to Highway 49. He stated this will be a huge problem for
snowmobiles. The road will bring in more pollution and noise. He stated he will want to
have his house filtered and sound proofed because it will affect him and his family. He
stated he already has enough pollution on his property from Lake Drive. He stated he can
not afford to move. He stated he does not want the roadway to be a detour to 694. He
stated the County Engineer is being very heavy handed by saying the project will be all or
nothing.

Council Member Reinert stated he would like to see other options from the County. He
stated if the current options are the only options, he is ready to take a vote. He stated he
would like to have a collected effort from the two (2) Counties and cities to improve the
roadway.
Council Member Dahl stated she is in support of a vote. She stated she also supports the
Council Members in Shoreview. She stated this issue is a symptom of a larger problem.
The major highways need to add lanes. The Metropolitan Council and the State need to
work together. Everyone needs to think beyond today. She noted County Road J to
Blaine is a four (4) lane highway because it had to be done that way. The roadway is now
a ghost lane. More traffic at 50 m.p.h. does not equal more safety. The project may
aleviate some problems on other roads. She stated that she believes there is a
compromise. She stated putting off the vote will not be beneficial. A vote should be
taken so the City can move forward.

TOWN CENTER UPDAT Y ALICE DIVINE
The Community Developmen��i, ector advised Dellwood, LLC, is putting together a
development proposal a` ' e bein site in the Town Center. He noted the proposal is
very preliminary. Staf as met with the developer and a video presentation will be made
at the next Council work ession. He referred to a map indicating the location of the site
and reviewed a timeline regarding the project. He noted the critical issue is the road.
The City Engineer advised a traffic impact study will be conducted from 77th Street down
to Lake Drive. The developer is sharing in the cost of the study.
The Economic Development Assistant advised direction is needed from Council. She
referred to the Calthorpe Plan noting that the proposed development is a conventional
suburban development and has nothing to do with the design standards. The main street
character will be lost. The question is if the Council wants to hold to the same direction it
has been going for years, or go with the Conventional development with staff using the
design standards as a guide. Staff noted the Calthorpe plan will take longer to develop
than the conventional type development.

Council Member Carlson inquired about any impact on the grant application. Staff
advised they do not believe the conventional development on the north side will have any
impact on the grant application, which was for The Village site

letter sent to the Metropolitan Council. He advised the committee that the letter is not an
indication of the City moving away from the project.
Mayor Bergeson continued stating the conventional development may be an opportunity
to get a particular retailer into the community. That opportunity does not come around
very often. He stated he feels the City should try to work with them.
Council Member Dahl asked if the developer will comply to some of the design
standards. Staff advised the design standards create something totally different from this
proposed concept plan. The design standards do not fit the project, he core of a

be kept in place in the southern quadrant.
Council Member Carlson expressed concern regarding residents, truck traffic and
accesses.
The Community Development Director advised a neighborhood meeting should be held.
A buffer would have to be provided. Those issues will have to be addressed.

Council Member Carlson stated the user would be a business that will be an asset to the
community. She expressed concern regarding moving away from the standards entirely.
She stated the 20/20 Vision indicated the residents don't want a conventional shopping
center. She stated she does not want the project to cost citizens money. The developer
should be doing something because they will not have to abide by the standards. She also
expressed concern regarding the type of businesses that will go in.
Council Member O'Donnell indicated he is in favor of moving forward with the project
and stick with the architectural standards as much as possible. He asked if the City

TtRA LOCATION, JEFF SMYSER
Staff distributed a me ng the Council discussion of the West Shadow ponds
project at the Septembe, werk session. The City Council agreed that the extension of
West Shadow Lake Drive hould be extended to the 62nd Street right -of -way with a
barricade constructed. Removing the barricade to allow the new road connection to 62nd
Street will be determined in the future.
Several of the Council Members expressed concern over the trail location and preferred
that it be moved into the drainage easement. At the time, it seemed feasible. Staff
received a letter from the developer stating that further analysis reveals that moving the
trail to the easement would require additional wetland fill. This is undesirable from both
an environmental and a regulatory perspective.
The trail as proposed does provide for connection to a longer trail. It creates a nice loop
using Fox Road. The developer proposes screening and landscaping options to provide
privacy for existing lots in Birchwood Acres. This was anticipated in the creation of the
15
CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION NOVEMBER 8, 2000
trail corridor. To accommodate screening, the corridor was made 30 feet wide instead of
the standard 15'.
Staff advised this issue has been discussed with Mr. DeGardner, Director of Public
Services. He concluded that the trail should be included and should be in its proposed
location. Staff referred to a drawing that shows that moving the trail one lot would
require crossing (and filling) additional wetland. Staff also referred to a plan for
Birchwood Park that shows the planned trails.
Council Member Reinert asked when the park will be developed. Staff advised the actual
time table is unknown. It is intended that the trail will be paved right away.
Council Member O'Donnell asked if the alternatives outlined have been shown to the
homeowners.
Mr. Rick Carlson, developer, came forward and stated he has nc

Council Member Carlsoireferred to the first page of the memo. She expressed concern
relating to the statement that the Council agreed about the extension and how it relates to
the larger issues of the road. She stated she was not present at that meeting. She asked
how many votes will be needed to pass the project. Staff advised a 4/5 vote will be
needed.
The City Engineer advised the roadway would have a turn around constructed with
barricades. In the future the barricades will be taken down.
Council Member Carlson expressed concern regarding the language used in the memo.
She stated the compromise was to bring the residents in to help make a decision. She
stated she very clearly wants to support the developer and the residents. The residents

Council directed staff to put this issue on a future work session agenda. Residents should
be contacted about the meeting date.
Council Member Dahl requested Mr. Carlson be very specific with residents about what
type of fencing and screening is acceptable.
NORTHWEST SADDLE CLUB, DONNA CARLSON
Council Member Carlson distributed information regarding the Northwest Saddle Club to
Council Members. She stated her main concern relates to the Comprehensive Plan. She
stated this plan has very small lots with 212 units per acre. She stated the Council needs
to consider what this will mean to the Comprehensive Plan.
The City Planner advised the project has not yet been submitted: e pin is going
through the concept stage. The developer has been told t at p oe land is not in the

have a hard time approving small lots without seeing what the City is getting in return.
The developer stated those issues were apparent at the Planning and Zoning Board
meeting this evening. He stated he is still working on the plan. At this point the plan is
conceptual.
Council Member Carlson stated the City already has an excess of residential acreage in

was not included in the City's submittal.
In order to provide for following through on the 1999 actions, three (3) actions would be
needed:
1. Rezone Lot 13 Sunset Oaks to R -1.
2. Allocate 2.55 acres of MUSA reserve to the area to be sold to the
