Mounds View City Council April 25, 1988
Regular Meeting Page Two
City Planner Herman reviewed the request of Church
Upon the Rock for a permit for a temporary classroom
structure, due to their enrollment increase. She
explained the temporary building would be an inter-
mediate step as they may expand their building or
move to another site in the future, depending upon
their needs. She stated the Planning Commission has
reviewed the request and recommends approval, and
they are also working on updating the original
conditional use permit granted to the Church and
will be sending that to the Council at a later date.
She further explained the Planning Commission has
placed a five year limitation on the placement of
the temporary building, which would allow enough time
for the Church to decide what to do, and if they
request an extension at the end of the five years,
they would be required to upgrade the parking lot at
that time.
Councilmember Blanchard noted a special use permit
is for one year only and questioned whether the
building could be placed for five years.
Attorney Meyers clarified the issue and stated it
would be allowable for five years.
Councilmember Blanchard asked if the Fire Department
had looked into the request.
City Planner Herman explained the Fire Inspector has
looked at the permanent structure and does not feel
there would be a problem, but he will have to check
again at the time of the issuance of the permit.
Mayor Linke closed the public hearing and reopened
the regular meeting at 7:14 PM.
There were no residents requests and comments from
the floor.
Motion /Second: Wuori /Blanchard to approve the con-
sent agenda, as presented, and waive the reading

Regular Meeting
Mayor Linke stated he was not happy with the contin-
gency in proposed Resolution No. 2320 which would allow
for the renewal of the conditional use permit after
five years, as he felt if they wanted to continue
using that space at that time, it should be made
permanent. He asked that that contingency be removed
and another one added stating that if the building is
sold or the main structure is vacated, that the
temporary structure would be removed at that time.
Motion /Second: Linke /Quick to adopt Resolution No.
2320, approving a conditional use permit for a
temporary accessory structure to be placed in an R -1
district at 7901 Red Oak Drive, for the Church Upon
the Rock, as amended, and waive the reading.

Mayor Linke noted this was a reduction in the cost
to the City for the first time in many years.

the resubmittal from the Harstad Companies for the
Greenfield Estates project, and per tie subdivision
code, Staff recommends the Council give it to the

in the project before.

Clerk /Administrator Pauley reviewed the necessity of
'repairs to portions of Silver Lake Road between
County Road H2 and Woodcrest, due to the settlement
of pipes. He stated they had asked Short, Elliott,
Hendrickson to advise them of the best way to proceed,
and he reviewed the three options proposed by SEH,
with the recommendation to go with ductile iron,
with a mid -range cost of approximately $300,000.
He explained, however, the cost could possibly go up
to $500,000, depending upon the amount of work to be
done. He stated the sewer fund has $88,349 available
at this time and Staff would recommend a loan from
the water fund to the sewer fund, at an interest rate
of 9 with a ten or fifteen year amortization schedule.
He also stated Staff may be recommending an increase
to the sewer rate, which woulc: enable a retirement of
the debt.
Motion /Second: Quick /Wuori to authorize Short, Elliott,
Hendrickson to conduct a building condition survey at a
cost not to exceed $15,000, and update the cost estimate
and preparation of plans and specs for Project No.
88 -1, Silver Lake Road sanitary sewer repairs.

;Councilmember Wuori questioned where the money would
come from for repairs if there is damage to any homes
or buildings as a result of the work being done.
Clerk /Administrator Pauley replied the contractor
would be required to provide insurance. He also noted
that the building conditions survey was being done to
protect the City, if they should be found liable by
the Court.
Kay Weisman, 7807 Bona Road, asked how old the pipe is.
Clerk /Administrator Pauley replied it was installed
between 1962 and 1964.
Clerk /Administrator Pauley reviewed the history of
the policy for entrance openings along Highway 10,
explaining the policy was adopted six years ago, and
now, with the development of the Mounds View Business
Park, MnDOT has requested the City reaffirm this
resolution using the names of the new property owners.
Motion /Second: Wuori /Quick to adopt Resolution No.
2318, regarding the policy on entrance openings for

Park and Rec Director Saarion explained Staff had
asked approval from the Council at the April 11
meeting to place street sweepings at Greenfield Park,
to help level the land and make it more usable. She
reviewed the plans of the Park and Rec Department
for the park if the work is done, explaining that it
is so uneven now that it is difficult to use. She
added the concern had been over the wetlands in the
park, so Staff had contacted Tom Peterson from the
Ramsey Soil and Water Conservation District, and
after studying it, it is his opinion that this is
not a wetland, and she reviewed his letter of April
22.
Park and Rec Director Saarion stated that if approval
is not given this evening for the sweepings to be
placed there, the Public Works Department will have
to move them elsewhere.
Clerk /Administrator Pauley read the letter from
Mr. Peterson. He explained the work Staff is proposing
to do would establish a maintainable turf area, and
the filling and grading would not encroach on the area
that was previously classified as wetland. He added
Staff would recommend the Council request Mr. Peterson
to accomplish a formal review of the entire area, for
Council consideration of an amendment to the wetland map.
Attorney Meyers advised the Council on the process
that would have to be followed to encroach on a wetland
area.

Clerk /Administrator Pauley explained Staff is
requesting a study of the Ardan Avenue drainage
area be done to determine the proper size of the
pipe to be placed under Long Lake Road, to handle
the Ardan Avenue drainage area.
Mayor Linke explained they are attempting to find a
good way to use the existing wetland areas for
holding area, and right now there is no wetland in
that area that could be used, and it will take time
to find a functional plan.
Clerk /Administrator Pauley stated it was hoped that
any work which needed to be done on Long Lake Road
for the storm sewer could be done the same as it was
on County Road I, using Municipal State aid funds,
with no assessment to the property owners.
Pat Rickaby, 8343 Groveland Road, asked when the work
would be done.
Clerk /Administrator Pauley replied the County has
scheduled the reconstruction of Long Lake Road for
1989 -1990, and the City would have to do this work
beforehand.
Motion /Second: Wuori /Quick to authorize Short,
Elliott, Hendrickson to develop a storm water
management plan for the Ardan Avenue drainage area
at a cost not to exceed $15,000, to be charged to

Councilmember Blanchard had no report.
Councilmember Wuori asked how high the piles of sand

signs, hoping to keep youth out of the construction
area.
Councilmember Quick had no report.
Mayor Linke reminded everyone of the penny jugs
located throughout the City for the Pinewood Playground
project, and he also reminded everyone of Clean -Up

in June, and pick -up will be the third Tuesday of each
month, for paper, cans, bottles and plastics.
Clerk /Administrator Pauley reported flyers would be
out soon, describing the recycling program, and he
strongly urged residents to take part in the program,
as everyone must work to reduce the amount of garbage
going tv the landfills.
Clerk /Administrator Paul,ly reported that two weeks ago
there had been a report of the smell of oil in a local
pond, and upon investigation by Williams Pipeline Co.
and the Police and Public Works, it was discovered
that fuel oil had been dumped into the sewer line by
someone. He reported that Williams assisted in the
clean -up and he also pointed out the City provides a
free dump site for used crank case oil at the Public
Works garage. Clerk /Administrator Pauley emphasized
the sanitary sewers are not for the disposal of toxic
wastes, and the danger of people abusing the use of
them.
Clerk /Administrator Pauley reported Everest Development
'zas requested a temporary occupancy permit for 5201
Program Avenue, and he reviewed the contingencies
recommended by the Building Inspector and the work to
be completed yet. He added that Everest Development
has agreed to all the conditions.

Mayor Linke stated he wanted to emphasize the
seriousness of dumping of wastes, as discussed by
Clerk /Administrator Pauley, and he asked that anyone
observing dumping by someone call the Police.
Kay Weisman stated she agreed with the comments made
regarding the disposal of hazard wastes and pollution
and she stated it would be helpful to have a list
available of what should not be dumped. She
mentioned a specific concern with anti freeze being
dumped into the sewer system.
Mayor Linke explained they had checked on anti freeze
before, and it is not on the hazardous waste material
list.
Clerk /Administrator Pauley reviewed some of the items
that are on the list and he stated there would be an
article going in the next newsletter about it.
Dave Rademacher, 7421 Park View, stated he agreed that
it was a very important issue and people should be
reminded frequently. He also questioned whether water
from swimming pools could be put directly into the
system.
