Administrator Bakken -Heck added several people contacted the
city to inquire about what could be done to the property and one
individual appeared before the council with an idea to convert the
property to office space with rental above.
The Mayor then invited members of the public to comment.
Ms. Lambert, resident of 1803 Eustis stated she wants the property
to become single family and does not want a business there. She
inquired of the owner, Kevin Baumgartner, what he planned for the
property.
Mr. Baumgartner stated he and his brother are not certain what
they will do, however; his brother is an electrician and needs to
relocate his business. The idea is to locate the business in this
unit. The business would not create traffic issues as it is not a retail
type operation.
Ms. Lambert then inquired about the upper level. Mr. Baumgartner
stated it might be made into a one bedroom apartment to provide
living quarters to one of the employees.
Ms. Lambert then questioned the issuance of a CUP and the
process. Bakken -Heck stated the owner first needs to apply for a
zoning amendment. If the amendment is approved, then they
would have to apply for a Conditional Use Permit and possibly a
variance.
Ms. Lambert then wanted to know if the project is approved by the
council, is a business for ever. Bakken -Heck stated the CUP is
with the applicant, not the site. If the unit is sold the new owner
must come before the council for a CUP.
The Council thanked the parties for their comments.

proposed structure is a Telecommunications tower and title 10-6-2 (D) states that
telecommunications towers as well as antennas are permitted uses. Further,
there is a current telecommunications tower located on this site. Nextel analyzed
the possibility of locating their antennas and equipment on the existing tower in
accordance with title 10-15-2(c). The analysis found co -location not feasible
because it does not accommodate Nextel equipment at the proper height in
order to meet Nextels coverage objectives and connectivity.
2) Does the proposed use meet all special standards that may apply to its
class of conditional uses in Title 10?
The proposed use meets all the standard and requirement spelled out in title 10.
The tower is of monopole construction and does not require guy wires. The
structure maintains the necessary fall radius and, in fact, is constructed to
collapse upon itself thereby reducing the actual fall radius. Other facilities can
locate on the tower as well.
3) Does the proposed use result in any element or cause a condition that is
dangerous, injurious or noxious to any other property or persons?
Staff finds that the proposed tower does not create or cause a condition that is
dangerous, injurious or noxious to any other property owner. As stated
previously, there is an existing tower similar in construction located on the site
where this tower is proposed. Nextel negotiated a lease for the space with the
property owner so there are no concerns on behalf of the owner regarding this
proposal.
4) Is the proposed use sited, oriented and landscaped to produce a
harmonious relationship to adjacent buildings and property?
Nextel plans provide for the tower to be constructed in the side of an
embankment, similar to the existing tower structure. They will provide for a
masonry retaining wall and brick equipment building. Both the tower and the
building are sited on a new raised concrete pad. The retaining wall will provide
screening from Larpenteur Avenue as will the existing trees and shrubbery on
the embankment. The structures are located on the north end of NewMech's
parking lot.
5) Does the proposed use produce a visual impression and environment that
is consistent with the environment of the district?
Yes, see the staff comments above.
6) Does the proposed use organize vehicular access and parking to minimize
traffic congestion in the district?
Nextel proposes to construct the tower in the embankment as they are sensitive
to the parking issues on the NewMech site. The proposed tower does not
interfere with or add to the parking needs of NewMech. The tower requires only
minimal access on an occasional basis for Nextel service. The occasional
parking next to the site will not result in any added congestion or traffic.
7) Does the use promote the objectives of Title 10 of the City Code: Zoning,
and the Land Use & Tax Base section of the Lauderdale Comprehensive
Plan?
Staff finds the structure is consistent with the current zoning and comprehensive
plan for the City of Lauderdale.
8) Does the use comply with the following performance standards?
a. Fire Protection.
b. Electrical Disturbance.
c. Noise.
d. Vibrations.
e. Odors.
f. Air Pollution.
g. Glare.
h. Erosion.
1. Water Pollution.
The use to comply with the performance standards mentioned above.
SITE PLAN
Attached is the Site Plan for the proposed project
PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT REQUEST
The City Council published notice of the proposed conditional use and held a public
hearing. The public hearing was conducted on Tuesday, August 9, 2005 at 7:57 p.m.
Central time at the Lauderdale City Council Chambers. No persons were present to
comment on the proposed conditional use and the City Administrator received no
written, verbal or electronic comments regarding the proposal. Representatives from
Nextel were present to answer questions if need be.
CITY COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED
Following review of all the materials and comments from the public hearing, staff
recommends the City Council grant the Conditional use as requested and does not
recommend any additional conditions be added.

RE: Conditional Use Permit Application
Proposed Nextel Communications Cell Towe
Dear Mr. Bakken -Heck:
As you know, Nextel Communications (Nextel) is f
City of Lauderdale near the intersection of Highi
location of the proposed tower is on the property whe
1633 Eustis Avenue. The proposed tower location within the property is near ulu uvi U.
corner of the parcel. Nextel has signed a lease agreement with the landowner, 807 Farrington
Streets Associates, for the ground space necessary to install and maintain the tower and
associated equipment shelter.
The proposed cell tower will be an 85 foot tall monopole structure (no guy wires) which will
be designed to accommodate at least one additional carrier, as required by the City of
Lauderdale Ordinance Chapter 15 C(2) (Colocation Requirements), which states that any
tower that is over sixty feet but less than 100 feet must accommodate at least one additional
user. Furthermore, because the tower will only be 85 feet tall, it will not be illuminated. Also
included will be a 12 foot x 20 foot equipment shelter at the base of the tower. As shown in
the attached photos, the proposed tower will be adjacent to an existing cell tower currently
owned by Verizon Wireless. Nextel evaluated the possibility of collocating their equipment
on this existing tower because collocation is always Nextel's first priority. As mentioned
below, because of the existing antennas at the top of the Verizon tower, this tower could not
accommodate Nextel's equipment at the necessary height in order to meet their coverage
objectives and connect to adjacent sites.
Before selecting a sight, Nextel developed a "search ring" of a '/i mile radius (4-5 blocks)
which specified the area where they have a need to improve coverage. This search ring is
developed based on their existing sites, proposed sites, customer feedback/complaints,
technology, drive test data, etc. With this particular project, Nextel Engineering determined
the center of the search ring to be near the intersection of Highway 280 and Larpenteur
Avenue.
Before selecting the proposed New Mech site, Nextel evaluated several other potential sites.
Nextel evaluated the existing TMobile cell tower on the west side of Highway 280, located on
the north side of Larpenteur Avenue. Colocation on this tower is not possible due to a lack of
ground space needed for Nextel's equipment shelter. Nextel also evaluated the ATC tower on
the west side of Highway 280, located on the south side of Larpenteur Avenue. Collocation
on this tower would not be possible because it would not pass Nextel's structural analysis,
meaning it would not structurally accommodate Nextel's equipment.

As mentioned above, Nextel also evaluated the existing Verizon cell tower on the New Mech property. Because
the existing antennas are at the top of the Verizon tower, this tower could not accommodate Nextel's equipment at
the necessary height in order to meet their coverage objectives and connect to adjacent sites.
As required by the City of Lauderdale Tower Ordinance, attached are engineering drawings of the proposed
project. Furthermore, Nextel is required to comply with all applicable FCC regulations which ensure that there is
no interference with emergency and/or public safety telecommunications signals or signals from other licensed
carriers.
Attached is the completed Conditional Use Permit Application, application fee of $165.00, engineering
drawings, and site photos.
We look forward to working with the City on this project. Please let me know if you have any questions,
regarding this application. I can be reached at (763) 786-1445.

CITY OF LAUDERDALE
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
MEETING DATE: Tuesday, August 23, 2005
ITEM: Retaining wall issue 1921 Eustis
DESCRIPTION: Mr. Bryan Lindstrom attended the city council meeting on July 26,
2005 to discuss the issue of his mother's fence falling into the ally and erosion of the
embankment where a retaining wall used to be. He stated the problem began following
the ally improvement project of 2003. The Council asked staff to look into the issue and
come back to the council.
I spoke to Tom Kellogg, city engineer and to both Dave and Joe, Maintenance staff for
the city. I found out the retaining wall and fence was constructed on city right of way. I
further found that the city moved the fence for the family rather then just taking it down.
I also learned a tree existed in the area and the city offered to remove the tree as part of
the ally project. The family wanted to keep the tree. Earlier this spring, the family
removed the tree. The fence is now beginning to lean into the alley due to the family
removing the tree which was located very close to one of the fence posts. Further, the
slope was not restored and the fence post not re-established properly to prevent the
erosion and leaning of the fence.
ATTACHMENTS: none
OPTOINS/ACTION REQEUSTED:
1) request the family to fix the fence issue themselves
2) city repair the situation and bill the family
3) city repair the situation
4) do nothing

RE: Larpenteur Avenue Corridor Redevelopment
As part of the Larpenteur Avenue Corridor redevelopment planning process, we have
evaluated the financial feasibility of the three concepts developed by the Brauer Group.
We have prepared a Sources and Uses Statement for each concept that assumes the
developer acquires all properties in the redevelopment area (including tenant and owner
relocation costs), demolishes the existing structures and installs public improvements.
Please be aware that we have not reviewed any of this information with developers,
which will be done as the next step of the process. For now, we have used reasonable
estimates that can be refined at a later date to reflect actual market conditions.
Assumptions
Acquisition We assumed a developer could acquire the property for a cost
equal to 150% of Pay 2005 assessed market value. Acquisition
costs are the largest unknown at this time and our estimate may be
too low.
Relocation We assumed that 287 tenants would receive relocation benefits
averaging $8,500 per tenant. Apartment owners are also eligible to
receive relocation benefits. However, many times owner
relocation benefits are waived or rolled into the total negotiated
purchase price.

Public
Improvements For purposes of our preliminary analysis, we have initially
estimated $1 million to cover the public infrastructure costs
associated with the redevelopment. Please keep in mind this
estimate will vary depending on the size and scope of each of the
redevelopment proposals.
Tax Increment We assumed that the City would establish a 25 year redevelopment
tax increment district, and use 95% of the increment to assist the
project. It is also assumed that the increment is provided on a
"pay-as-you-go" basis to reimburse the developer over the term of
the TIF District.

estimated $1 million to cover the public infrastructure costs
associated with the redevelopment. Please keep in mind this
estimate will vary depending on the size and scope of each of the
redevelopment proposals.
Tax Increment We assumed that the City would establish a 25 year redevelopment
tax increment district, and use 95% of the increment to assist the
project. It is also assumed that the increment is provided on a
"pay-as-you-go" basis to reimburse the developer over the term of
the TIF District.
OA
If the City establishes a tax increment district that meets the
redevelopment qualifications, it can collect 26 years of increment.
One of the next steps would be to investigate the area of the district
in order to qualify as a redevelopment district. If the
redevelopment area does not qualify for a redevelopment district,
other options would need to be explored but the term of the district
may be less than 25 years thereby reducing the TIF income stream
and increasing the gap even further.
Land Payments The amount a developer can afford to pay for the cleared site
depends on the improvements installed and the density of the
proposed development. We have assumed $20,000 per unit for
townhouses, $15,000 per unit for condominiums, $10,000 per unit
for apartments and $6 per square foot for the commercial space.
Financial Feasibility
Financial feasibility is measured, simply, with the following equation:
Land Sales + City Assistance + Developer Equity = Acquisition/Relocation + Public Improvements
Sources
Uses
If there is a significant "gap" between the sources and uses it can indicate that the project
may not be financially feasible. At this stage in a project, we would expect to see some
financial gap, and would measure its implications by how big it is and what options there
are to fill the gap.
The attached analysis shows that the current redevelopment concepts all show a
substantial financing gap, meaning there are more expenses than revenues for the project.
This gap is caused by high land acquisition and relocation costs due to the high density of
the existing redevelopment site. Another factor is the base value of the district today is
$17 million. It is not uncommon for a substantial financing gap to appear at this stage of
the analysis but the size of the gaps will present future challenges with regards to
financial feasibility.

Options
The City can pursue a number of options to reduce the financial gap, including but not
limited to the following:
1. The City may obtain grants through the Met Council, the State of Minnesota or
other sources.
2. The City may consider changes to the development that would reduce the gap.
For example, increasing density or phasing the project so that the whole site does
not have to be cleared for development to begin would both increase financial
feasibility.
3. Further analysis would identify the highest and lowest square footage values of all
existing parcels to determine if certain areas of the redevelopment area are more
feasible for redevelopment than others.
4. The City may consider looking at areas adjacent to the proposed redevelopment
area that may provide opportunities to increase the tax increment collected or
increase the land sale proceeds, thus reducing the financing gap.

Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
Jessica Cook and Dave Callister
Tax Increment District No. 1-1
August 18, 2005
The City has requested Ehlers & Associates review its existing Tax Increment District
No. 1 to see what opportunities there are to assist housing and redevelopment projects
within the City.
Tax Increment District No. 1 is a housing district with a maximum term of 25 years. The
district is currently generating $144,000 per year and may collect increment through
2011.
Background
Two terms are useful to understand in order to discuss the City's TIF District. These are:
Development District — an area defined by the City in which it will
spend tax increment and other resources to achieve stated public
objectives.
Tax Increment District — parcels which have been developed or
redeveloped and generate the tax increment
In 1985 the City established Development District No. 1 to enhance the community's
residential areas. When the district was established, the City's specific interest was in
developing the last significant property within the community — Rose Hill nursery — with
newer rental apartments and owner occupied townhomes. Also in 1985, the City
established Tax Increment District No. 1 to financially assist with that development. The
City issued general obligation bonds and used the tax increment to pay the annual debt
service. The debt was retired in 2004.
3060 Centre Pointe Drive (651) 697-8546 Fax: (651) 697-8555
Roseville, MN 55113-1105 jcook@ehlers-inc.com
http://),v%vw.ehlers-inc.com
In 1996 the Development District was expanded to include most of the City. In addition,
the budget in the Tax Increment Plan was modified to allow tax increment to be spent on
street and utility reconstruction in residential neighborhoods.
In 2001 through 2003, the City undertook extensive street and utility reconstruction. The
improvements were financed with improvement bonds to be repaid with special
assessments and debt levy. Available tax increment was also used to pay capital costs for
the reconstruction. In addition, tax increment is authorized to be used for debt service in
the TIF Plan, but was not pledged to payment of the bonds at the time the bonds were
sold.
Opportunities
Tax Increment District No. 1 is a housing district. Therefore, future increment may be
used to pay eligible costs for "housing projects" as defined by MS 469.174, Subd. 11
located anywhere within the City limits. A housing project is a rental or owner -occupied
housing development intended for occupancy by low and moderate income families. The
specific guidelines are as follows:
Rental Housing: 20% of the units occupied by families at 50% of median
income or 40% of the units occupied by families at 60% of
median income.
Owner Occupied: Purchased by a family with an income up to 115% of
median income, depending on family size.
Examples of potential housing projects would include new affordable rental housing as
part of the redevelopment along Larpenteur Avenue, or site acquisition and demolition
for infill lots that will be sold for new housing construction.
To undertake a new housing project, the Tax Increment Plan may need to be modified. In
addition, some attorneys have taken the position that increment collected prior to a plan
modification (i.e., your existing fund balance) may not be used for expenditures in the
modification.
Recommendations
1. Clarify that tax increment is intended to pay for debt service on the 2001, 2002, and
2003 improvement bonds by adopting a pledge agreement. The agreement would
pledge increment for debt service in the event there is a shortfall of other revenues.
The agreement would also clarify to the Office of the State Auditor (OSA) that tax
increment is obligated to pay outstanding debt, and prevent the OSA from
determining that the district needs to be shut down before 2011.

http://NvNvw.ehlers-inc.com
2. As the City responds to the need to maintain and revitalize its residential
neighborhoods, consider tax increment as a potential tool. The City may wish to
consider including housing initiatives in its TIF Plan to allow tax increment to be
expended on eligibible projects and activities.

CITY OF LAUDERDALE
2006 BUDGET NOTES
FUNDS 201-601
The Fund Budgets cover most of the cities capital expenditures such as streets, parks and utilities. There is very
little change in these budgets. The major change is the 2003 Street improvement bonds. This is the first year the
City is paying on the principle. The amount needed for 2006 is $100,000 in principle payments. However, this is
partly offset by the decrease in the amount the City is paying on the other two bonds.
Other items of note are the proposed floor replacement in the social room and seal coating of the streets
constructed in the first two phases of the road and utility improvement projects.
Revenue from the fund budgets is projected to increase approximately $100,000 over 2005. The reason for this is
the continuation of TIF District 1. All other revenue for the other funds is projected to remain close to the same.
Expenditures for the funds budget is projected to increase $145,000 over 2005. Again the main reason for this is
the $100,000 the City begins to pay on the 2003 street and utility improvement bonds.
The total budget estimate for the city is revenues of $1,539,994 and expenditures of $1,570,431 leaving a deficit of
just over $30,000. This deficit is attributable to the proposed improvements to the City Hall social room and
bathrooms. There are sufficient funds in reserve to cover this deficit.
One item the council may want to consider is to increase the levy by 3/4 of a percent and dedicate this increase to
the 2003 street improvement bond budget. The bond documents require the city to support the bonds through the
general property tax. The 3/4 percent increase moves the levy from $409,071 to $439,751 and generates the
necessary income to balance the budget.
The 2006 City of Lauderdale budget summary you have includes the suggested 3/4 percent increase in the levy.

Re: Elizabeth French Lighting Issue
This memorandum is a follow-up on the e-mail I forwarded to you all, except the mayor as I
do not as yet have his e-mail address.
As I wrote in the e-mail, I visited with Elizabeth French on Monday, August 15, 2005 at 10:00
p.m. Craig Gallop from MUSc0 Sports Lighting was also present as were a couple of
neighbors. Excel energy had two trucks and several crew members present to switch off the
street light.
I arrived and spoke to Craig and Elizabeth and Craig took some light meter readings with the
street light on. In the street the light read 3 foot candles on a horizontal plane (lying flat on
the street in the brightest part). He then read the light at the curb and the meter registered
1.5 foot candles maximal plane (holding the meter at a point to get the best reading).
I then proceeded to the warning house and activated the hockey lights. Craig took readings
again and the amount of light did not change. Excel then switched off the street light and
Craig took readings. The meter read 0 foot candles of light in the street and in Elizabeth's
front yard. We then proceeded into her house and with the lights turned off in the house, did
not see any visible light coming into the house from the park. As the sky was clear and the
moon nearly full, some light from the moon spilled in. Craig did not get any reading on the
meter as he could not see the meter.
At this point, Elizabeth continued to complain about the light. She said it is somewhat better
but said there is still spotlighting. We disagreed on this and she asked if I was implying that
she was seeing things. She could not believe that I could not see the spotlighting or read the
music on her piano.
Excel then turned the street light back on and I shut down the park lights. We returned to her
house and I stated it was lighter now then when the park lights were on and the street light
was off. Again there was general disagreement and Craig left after telling her the park lights
are not spotlighting. While outside, Craig spoke to Elizabeth's next door neighbor. He said
the park lights have never been a problem for him.
I stayed and talked with Elizabeth until about 11:25 p.m. During this chat, she told me about
her driveway issues and produced several notes and documents regarding this. She then
told me she feels the light is directed at her house at the direction of Northvale Construction
because of the driveway issue. She then said all she wants is the light to be redirected. I told
her the light was adjusted and she became upset again and told me it was not. When I told
her it was adjusted down beyond the point it is designed for, she said in an exasperated
manner, she doesn't want it adjusted down, but adjusted laterally so it is not pointed at her

This letter is a follow-up to our visit Monday, August 15, 2005 when we discussed the issue of the
hockey rink lights in the park. Craig Gallop was also present as was an Excel energy crew.
We evaluated the affect of the park lights on your property and in your house with the street light on
and off. Craig collected data using a light meter and measuring light intrusion in the street, at the curb,
in your front yard and in your living room. With the street light only, Craig measured 3 foot candles of
light in the street and 1.5 foot candles of light at the curb. When the park lights were activated, these
measurements did not change.
Excel then extinguished the street light with the park lights on. Craig took measurements. He did not
get a reading from the meter in the street, at the curb, in the yard or in the house. Further, neither Craig
nor I saw any spot lighting in the living room from the street light. As you recall, I indicated the living
room was so dark it was hard for me to see my feet, the coffee table and what was on it or the notes on
the sheet music on the piano. Craig stated he could not see his light meter.
I then went back to the park and turned off the hockey rink lights and the Excel crew turned on the
Street light. We then went back into your home and spent several minutes discussing the light issue. I
commented with the street light on I could see my feet and the things on the coffee table. I also
reiterated that I did not notice any light intrusion in the living room from the park lighting.
We discussed the issue of what you wanted and you indicated all you wanted was the light to be
adjusted so it did not shine on your house. By I understood you to mean moved down, and you
corrected me that what you wanted was to have the light moved in a lateral direction. I said I would
look in to the feasibility of doing this but did not promise or guarantee it would be done. I said the safety
of those using the hockey rink comes first.
I spoke to Craig on Wednesday, August 17, 2005 about moving the lights laterally. He told me they
move that way, however, moving them a degree or two will not solve your problem as you see it. If the
lights are moved too much further, it impacts the lighting of the hockey rink creating a potential hazard
for the skaters. Based on this, I do not believe moving the lights in this fashion is a good idea.
At this point, I do not believe there is anything more the City of Lauderdale can do in this situation. The
City of Lauderdale adjusted the lights and recently installed lighting shields. Staff and council members
visited your home and found little to no light intrusion from the park lights. I am sorry I can not do more
for you in this situation.
