MERMAID PROPOSAL
This week, Cathy and I met with Charlie Hall, Dan Hall and Barb
Haake in regards to Charlie's proposal to build a conference
center and possible hotel adjacent to his current building.
Charlie wanted to get a better understanding of Rice Creek
Watershed's restrictions, rules and general philosophy in regards
to his proposal. Barb was very receptive to the idea of Charlie
and Dan attending an informal work session of the District to
present his preliminary proposal. The purpose of the meeting
would be for Charlie and the Board to "get a feel" for the
proposed project and discuss the District's position as it would
relate to the drainage and ponding issues.
Charlie and Dan remain very excited about the project and are
pursuing all the necessary preliminary steps before investing
additional money into plans and financial pro formas.
The proposed project involves the acquisition and relocation of
the rental business and could also involve acquisition and
relocation of the antique store. Charlie is aware that any tax
increment assistance would require that the project pay for
itself in terms of sufficient increment generated to repay any
"qualifying expenses" .
Charlie and son are proceeding very cautiously with this project,
but I believe it has the "stuff of which good projects are made" .
You will be updated as events unfold.
PROPOSAL FOR SILVER LAKE ROAD AND HIGHWAY 10
Today, Paul, Cathy and I met with Jerry Lund and George Winiecki
in regards to a proposed medical clinic on the two lots currently
owned by George. A physician is very interested in building a
clinic on the corner that would also incorporate space for
George's insurance business. There was some discussion regarding
a larger medical/dental complex that could utilize not only
George's property, but also the property owned by Dale Jones.
At this point, it appears that they want to proceed only with a
concept for the two Winiecki lots, but remain open to "packaging
the property" for a larger, more inclusive development. They will
be meeting with Paul during the next couple of months to discuss
preliminary development concepts and process.
They asked about tax increment financing and I explained to them
the Council's "pay-as-you-go philosophy and the requirements of
TIF law as it relates to the "but for" clause and qualifying
costs. The discussions did not center on a specific request for
TIF, but merely an inquiry as to how it might relate to a
proposal such as the one they have presented. This is a very
exciting proposal. I think Jerry Lund (who represents the
physician) is more excited than George who, in his words "has
seen this proposed projects come and go" . As always, you will be
updated as events occur.
Arbitration
Testimony was heard on Tuesday in the arbitration hearing on the
1994 police contract. It was agreed to by all parties that the
arbitration award will cover both 1994 and 1995. The remaining
issues (wages, insurance, vacation, holidays, FTO, Senior
Officer, longevity, etc. ) will be determined after final briefs
are submitted on January 6th. We will receive the arbitrator's
decision no later than February 6th.
Samantha
NATIONAL LEAGUE OF CITIES
Last Thursday, Samantha and I attended a pre-conference seminar
on 'transformational leadership' . The seminar offered some very
interesting views on how to think about and approach leadership.
To give you a feel for what was discussed, I will quote some of
the rhetoric and jargon that was used. Some of the things that
were said include, "today's leaders must reinvent themselves as
extraordinary leaders who can make the impossible happen and
change their world. Extraordinary leaders are ordinary human
beings who re-define their reality by taking a stand for what is
currently impossible and acting to make it happen regardless of
past experience or current circumstances. Transformational
leaders must create what has never been, not fix what is there.
In order to this, they must acknowledge that the game has
changed, that everything we know is useless in the new game and
that nobody knows what the rules are in the new game. Lastly,
transformational leaders produce results regardless of
circumstances and have the ability to tolerate chaos and
breakdowns when making changes. Transformational leaders declare
the impossible, possible. "
PRICE OF GOVERNMENT CONFERENCE
Yesterday afternoon, Wednesday, 12/7, Samantha and I attended a
'Price of Government' seminar hosted by the Minnesota Chamber of
Commerce. The purpose of this conference was to debate the Price
of Government policy proposed to the Legislature in a 1992 policy
statement drafted by the Minnesota Chamber. At the start of the
1995 legislative session, the Governor is to recommend to the
legislature that they adopt a resolution that would set the price
of government for the next two years. The Governor is also to
recommend how total revenues should be divided between state and
local governments and the appropriate mix and rates of income,
sales and other state taxes.
Historically, Minnesotan's have paid about 18. 75 percent of their
personal income to state and local government in the form of
taxes and fees. The projection by the Minnesota Department of
Finance and the Minnesota Department of Revenue, as presented at
this conference, is that this amount is not expected to increase
over the next couple of years. The Chamber is OK with this.
They are, however, opposed to this percentage increasing any more
than this amount. There were several speakers who presented
their side of the argument including, Jim Miller, Executive
Director of the League of Minnesota Cities, Mark Andrew, Chair,
Hennepin County Commissioners, Dan Salamone from the MN Taxpayers
Association, Peter Hutchinson and several legislators.
It is noteworthy to add that most of the speakers were not
focusing on cost of government but value received. Peter
Hutchinson described value as quality divided by price, a concept
that was referred to throughout the conference.
ARBITRATION
On Tuesday, 12/6, City staff and Labor Relations Associates,
representing the City, and the Teamsters Union, representing the
Police Officers, met with the arbitrator to present oral
arguments. The next step in the process is for both parties to
present an official brief to the arbitrator, scheduled for
January 6. The arbitrator then has 30 days to make a ruling.
Tim C.
Marketing Task Force:
• At the last marketing task force meeting the City of Mounds View's motto was
discussed. We came up with almost 20 and will be narrowing it down to a few
of the best for consideration by the EDA. This is just one element of a report
which will be presented to the EDA in first quarter 1995. At the next meeting
on January 12, 1995 the task force will discuss entrance/exit signs and banners
designating Mounds View's boundaries along Highway 10.
Educational Linkages with Local Businesses:
• I had a meeting with Jan Quick, Career Placement Specialist at Irondale High
School, to brainstorm on how the City and the School District can help in
initiating linkages between the local businesses and graduates from the school
who will be looking for career opportunities instead of higher education and/or
technical school. We will be choosing 10 companies which may have the
potential to provide entry level positions. The key is to provide a position that
has the possibility of advancement. We will try to gain commitment from these
companies to develop a pilot program whereby companies actively participate in
seeking high school graduates for positions.
Retention Meetings:
• I met with Mounds View Inn's Norb Yenish this week. They have been fairly
stable in Mounds View attracting mostly repeat visitors such as business
travelers and truckers. They have also been working on trying to get a blue
sign designating motels, gas stations and restaurants on I-35W. MnDot
contents that there is not enough space between existing signs to add such a
sign. I suggested that they call the State Representatives and put together a
meeting with the other businesses regarding this issue.

PARKS,
RECREATION
AND FORESTRY
PARKS:
* The "big yellow submarine" (water truck) is not the "big white beluga whale".
It looks great after its sandblasting and painting ordeal. I understand that blue
and gray stripes will be put on yet.
An engine was found for the truck to replace the old one and the Parks crew
has been installing that engine this week. We hope to have it up and running
for weekend flooding.
* Residents living around Groveland Park have volunteered to do weekend
flooding again this year. What a nice gift of service that these people offer to
their neighborhood!! I'm not sure of all those that will be doing the work, but I
do know that Ernie LaPore is the spearhead of this group.
RECREATION:
* The numbers for Holiday Caroling continue to rise. Over 60 people have now
called in for the evening of caroling. Two busses (snow trains) were ordered to
accommodate this large group. It should be lots of fun! DECEMBER 17TH!!
* Mary is chaperoning a middle school day program at Vertical Endeavors, a rock
climbing / instruction place. The Middle School students have the day off this
day, Friday, December 9.
* We have prepared a great package of Winter activities in this coming
newsletter. We have planned a Winter Spectacular program of activities - in
response to a recommendation from the Focus 2000 Neighborhoods and
Housing group.
* Over 20 entries have been received for the Holiday Lights contest. The number
of participants continues to increase each year. Monetary awards are donated
by the Lion's Club.
* We have hired 8 rink attendants but still feel that we could use a few more for
substitutes. If you know of someone that would be interested please encourage
them to call the department. It's a great temporary second job and a great job
for college students.
GOLF COURSE:
* This week is the Minnesota Golf Association Conference - which Kurt is
attending. He has a fist-full of cards which he will be distributing to anyone and
everyone to introduce and publicize the course.
* Final equipment and supply purchases have yet to completed hopefully before
the end of the year - including cash register, computer, safe, range ball picker,
ball washer, range balls, range mats, benches, flags, tee ball washers, etc. Kurt
is hunting out the best prices.
THE DEPARTMENT WISHES TO EXTEND AN INVITATION TO ALL COUNCIL
MEMBERS AND THEIR FAMILIES AND TO STAFF MEMBERS AND THEIR FAMILIES
TO COME AND JOIN US IN COMMUNITY HOLIDAY CAROLING, SATURDAY,
DECEMBER 17 FROM 7-9:00 P.M. CIDER AND COOKIES AND FELLOWSHIP WILL
BE ENJOYED BY ALL AFTER WE RETURN TO CITY HALL.

FINANCE
• THE BUDGET HAS BEEN ADOPTED! THE BUDGET HAS BEEN ADOPTED! THE
BUDGET HAS BEEN ADOPTED!
• Now that the budget has been adopted Staff will begin preparing the many
reports that go to the County and State. State reports include certification of
compliance with the Truth In Taxation Law and a report on the adopted budget.
• Finance Staff is also busy preparing the budget book to go to the printer.
• An accountant from Honeywell has been busy gathering data on energy costs
from our records and files as part of the proposed partnership with Honeywell.
• Kitty Hickok will be attending a meeting on year end procedures at
Computoservice in Mankato Thursday.
• An official from MFJ Companies called and stated that they had made the last
payment on $1,500,000 Industrial Development Revenue Bonds issued in 1973,
which acquired the land and built the Century Motor Freight facility, and that
the agreement they had made with the City calls for the City to sell them the
facility for $1 . During the time the bonds were outstanding the facility has been
owned by the City and leased to MFJ Companies. Staff is looking for records
to verify this. When more information is available Staff will report its findings to
Council.
Don
POLICE
* Our Department assisted the Drug Task Force in searching three
apartments in Mounds View. Narcotics and a sawed-off shotgun were seized,
two people were arrested.
* In the last week, we have arrested four people at Mario
Bros. Video for shoplifting. We will be meeting with management and suggest
some security measures.
* The Chief, Roger K., and Larry S. spent Tuesday morning in
arbitration.
* We received the DARE contract from the School District. After
signing it, we will receive $9,033. You may remember that we get this money
as a result of a $1 per capita levy that the School District collects.
* Tim Brennan is spending this week in Jamaica, man. His wife
is also with him.
Tim R.
PUBLIC WORKS
* Staff met with representatives from Honeywell on Monday to discuss work
plans, and completed an introductory tour of the City facilities. They returned
on Tuesday to proceed with the site inspections and evaluations.
* Staff picked up the tanker truck on Monday and has started to install the parts -
- the parts removed prior to the sandblasting and painting. Tim, Steve, and Jeff
have now begun the task of removing and installing a new motor that Gary
found at the Federal Surplus Outlet in Arden Hills. This motor is brand new and
was purchased for $500. When the City purchased the truck we knew the
engine was in need of some work. An estimate was received to rebuild the
original engine for $1,800. Gary has been thanked many times for his discovery
of the new engine.
* Staff has been fine tuning the snow plowing procedure and operator's
assignments. These new procedures will produce more accountability, fewer
breakdowns, and increased customer service.
* Staff will be advertising for bids to perform preventative wellhead maintenance
in the next couple of weeks for two well sites. Review of specifications must be
performed prior to advertisement.
* Staff has completed the review of the RFP that will be advertised after the final
copy is typed. We expect to have a report to Council by the February work
session. As everyone involved in the water meter situation (reading, billing, and
servicing), knows staff is anticipating a good report and possible implementation
of the project!

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
UPDATE ON GREENFIELD PONDS WATERMAIN BREAK RESPONSIBILITY
Last week I informed you that Catherine Harstad of the Harstad Companies had
written the City a letter in September in which she requested the City assume
financial responsibility for a watermain break which resulted from the Greenfield
Ponds development construction. Within the past two weeks, I have received a
second letter from Harstad's attorney reiterating their position.
This week, I had an opportunity to sit down with Public Works Director Mike Ulrich
and City Attorney Jim Thomson to discuss the matter in detail. Based on Mike's
recollection of the incident and the fact that an engineer under the employ of
Harstad attributes the break in part to the operation of heavy equipment over the
Main, Jim Thomson is confident the City will not be responsible for the cost of
repair. Jim will be drafting a letter to Harstad's attorney stating the City position
and, suggesting a meeting to discuss the issue.
I will keep you informed on any further developments.
MOUNDS VIEW NUISANCE CODE UPDATE
At their December 7, 1994 meeting, the Mounds View Planning Commission
conducted a final review of the Nuisance Code. The majority of their comments
focused on grammatical errors, spelling and repeat information. In addition, certain
areas of the Ordinance were reworded for purposes of clarification. I will be
setting the Public Informational Meeting for January followed, hopefully, by
introduction and adoption of the Ordinance in early February.

Public Hearing - Truth in Taxation November 30, 1994
An unidentified person in the audience asked why the City was going to
hire a housing inspector.
Mayor Linke replied that the City's Building Inspector does not have the
time to inspect all apartment buildings (each unit) more than once per
year. Linke explained that in the near future this position may help
homeowners with point of sale inspections. Linke stated that this person
may be able to help elderly residents receive low interests loans so that
they can upgrade their homes so that they can sell it. A discussion
followed regarding mobile home parks.
Bill Frits, 8076 Long Lake Road, stated that he received a letter in the

10 Consideration of Resolution No. 4669 Approving the Conditional Use
11 Permit Request of Peter McIntyre, 2917 County Road H2 , for an
12 Oversized Accessory Building
13
14 Mayor Linke opened the public hearing at 7: 05 p.m.
15
16 Paul Harrington, Community Development Coordinator, explained that
17 following the construction of a new garage on Peter McIntyre's
18 property, the old garage remains. Mr McIntyre has decided to
19 utilize the old garage, which is 308 square feet, as an accessory
20 building. Municipal Code allows for an accessory building up to
21 216 square feet in size with an over-the-counter building permit,
22 and an accessory building up to 400 square feet in size with the
23 issuance of a Conditional Use Permit.
24
25 Harrington commented that this item had been reviewed by the Mounds
26 View Planning Commission. Based on their review, the Planning
27 Commission has recommended approval of a Conditional Use Permit
28 with the following conditions:
29
30 (1) The Conditional Use Permit shall be recorded with Ramsey
31 County.
32
33 (2) The building shall be maintained to provide a uniform
34 appearance with the dwelling unit.
35
36 (3) The accessory building does not exceed 400 square feet.
37
38 (4) The only vehicles that may be stored in the accessory building
39 are licensed collector vehicles.
40
41 (5) There shall be no improved driving surface leading up to the
42 accessory building.
43
44 Harrington reported that he had prepared Resolution No. 4669 for
45 consideration of this item by the Council.

16 COUNCIL BUSINESS:
17
18 A. Consideration of Adoption of Resolution No. 4665, Hiring of
19 Recycling Intern
20
21 Tim Cruikshank, Assistant to City Administrator, reported that
22 in April of this year, the City's Recycling Coordinator/Code
23 Enforcement Officer left the City of Mounds View for another
24 position. At that time, the Council requested the position to
25 be reevaluated in order to meet the needs of the community.
26 As a result, a full-time Code Enforcement Officer position was
27 created. In the meantime, the recycling duties that had been
28 performed by that position were being handled by existing
29 members of the Community Development Department. Those
30 responsibilities have not been fully performed for staffing
31 purposes, but rather to the extent to keep the program
32 functioning.
33
34 At the October 10, 1994 Council Meeting, the City Council
35 adopted Resolution No. 4637 which approved the filling of the
36 Recycling Intern position. Since then, Cruikshank and Paul
37 Harrington, Community Development Coordinator, interviewed six
38 candidates and determined that Laurie Mezera-Kerr was the most
39 qualified to fill the position. It is a 19 hour per week
40 position, at $8 . 00 per hour and receives no benefits.
41
42 Cruikshank recommended to Council the hire of Laurie Mezera-
43 Kerr for the position of Recycling Intern with funding to come
44 from Ramsey County SCORE Grant.
45
46 Councilmember Trude asked if this was a position that the
47 County would provide funds for. She also questioned if the
48 duties of this position would include getting the multi-family
49 dwellings on line for recycling, coordinating the Clean-Up

19 Consideration of Resolution No. 4670 Approving the Conditional Use
20 Permit Request of Dennis Patterson, 8121 Edgewood Drive, to Allow
21 for the Construction of an Oversized Accessory Building
22
23 Mayor Linke opened the public hearing at 7: 10 p.m.
24
25 Paul Harrington, Community Development Coordinator, informed
26 Council that this item was very similar to the previous request for
27 a Conditional Use Permit. Mr. Patterson has a single-family home
28 with an attached garage. He is proposing to add a 14' x 22' (308
29 square feet) accessory building for storage. The Mounds View
30 Planning Commission reviewed this item and recommended approval
31 with the following conditions:
32
33 (1) The Conditional Use Permit is recorded with Ramsey County.
34
35 (2) The building shall be maintained to provide a uniform
36 appearance with the dwelling unit.
37
38 (3) The accessory building does not exceed 400 square feet.

40 (4) The only vehicles that may be stored in the accessory building
41 are licensed collector vehicles.
42
43 (5) There shall be no improved driving surface leading up to the
44 accessory building.

46 Harrington said the he had prepared Resolution No. 4670 Approving
47 a Conditional Use Permit for Dennis Patterson on the recommendation
48 of the Planning Commission.

10 Consideration of Request for a Wetland Alteration Permit, for Louis
11 Downing, Woodale and Longview
12
13 Mayor Linke opened the public hearing at 7: 15 p.m.
14
15 Paul Harrington, Community Development Coordinator, explained that
16 Louis Downing, the owner of Lot 2 , Block 1 of Downing Addition, has
17 made application for a Wetland Alteration Permit. Mr. Downing is
18 in the process of selling this property to a potential buyer based
19 on whether the lot is buildable or not. The Wetland Zoning
20 Ordinance requires that a Wetland Alteration Permit be issued for
21 the construction, alteration, or removal of any structure in or
22 upon a Wetland Zoning District. Mr. Downing's property is
23 primarily within the Wetland Buffer Zone, which is a 100 foot strip
24 that surrounds the wetlands. The City has a controlling interest
25 in those Buffer Zones because of the potential impacts on the
26 wetlands themselves. In Mounds View, those wetlands are used for
27 storm water retention and detention and they play an important role
28 in the storm water management plans of the City. For that reason,
29 a public hearing is required.
30
31 Harrington said this item had been reviewed by himself as well as
32 by Rocky Keene, the City Consulting Engineer, for compliance with
33 the Municipal Code. Harrington commented that the City Consulting
34 Engineer did not see a problem with the home being constructed on
35 the property. It should not adversely affect the wetland itself.
36 However, the applicant has indicated on a site plan some additional
37 landscaping and clearing of the property and installing of sod.
38 Harrington and the City Consulting Engineer both felt that would
39 not be in the best intentions of the Code. He explained that the
40 Code does not encourage the elimination of natural vegetative cover
41 in the areas of wetlands and that includes the Buffer Zones.
42
43 Harrington said that he and the City Consulting Engineer had
44 reviewed the issues of storm water runoff and the impacts to the
45 wetland. With the use of an overhead projector, Harrington
46 presented a map which indicated the location of the property at
47 Longview and Woodale Drive, noting that the map had been forwarded
48 to him by the prospective buyer and not by the applicant. This map
49 showed the proposed location of the home in relation to the wetland
50 and the 100 foot Wetland Buffer Zone. He pointed out that the City
Mounds View City Council Page 7
Regular Meeting November 29, 1994
1 delineated wetland area, which was at an elevation of 892' ,
2 encompassed a large area of the property. That elevation was based
3 on field surveys done by the DNR, Army Corps of Engineers, and
4 Ramsey County. The map indicated proposed and existing elevations
5 on the site.
6
7 Harrington said the City Consulting Engineer reviewed the property
8 in relation to the Wetland Zoning Ordinance and what the
9 hydrological impacts will be to other properties and to the
10 wetland. City Code requires that all drainage be maintained on the
11 site and cannot impact any of the surrounding properties. The Code
12 does allow for the development of property with those conditions
13 being met. The City Consulting Engineer was satisfied that other
14 neighbors will not be impacted by the proposed construction of a
15 home and that the impact on the wetland will be minimal.
16
17 Harrington shared the concern of the City Consulting Engineer in
18 regard to the extensive landscaping which would require clear
19 cutting a wooded area and installing sod. The prospective buyer
20 had been consulted to preserve the existing vegetation, which would
21 still allow for a yard while causing less impact to the wetland.
22
23 Harrington said the City Consulting Engineer's opinion was that the
24 house, garage and driveway would not have a negative impact on the
25 wetland. He was concerned about the landscaping and suggested that
26 the Council consider this Wetland Alteration Permit, adopting the
27 plan that Harrington presented which showed the downsized area to
28 be sodded, allowing the preservation of the existing vegetation.
29
30 Councilmember Trude asked if the corner of the house was just a few
31 feet from actual standing water. Harrington said it was not
32 standing water--just wetland soils. The extent of the wetland soil
33 was vegetative types. The Buffer Zone was established by the City
34 because anything within that zone has an impact on the wetland and
35 the City wanted to maintain a controlling interest.
36
37 Linke pointed out that the front of the house was 130 feet from the
38 front of the property, requiring a long driveway.
39
40 Harrington explained the elevations at which the presence of a
41 wetland existed. He commented that the elevation at which the
42 wetland was delineated changed from area to area. Harrington
43 advised that the lowest slab elevation of a home is in relation to
44 the flood plain and not to the wetland itself. The Local Water
45 Management Plan indicated that the lowest slab elevation in this
46 area has to be at 891. 9. The map indicated the lowest floor at
47 891.9 and the top of block 899. 9, which would be the basement and
48 8 feet of block. The proposed house would meet the elevation
49 requirements.

1 Trude asked if Mr. Keene was concerned with the construction of the
2 slab at that level and if he felt there would be water problems in
3 the home. Harrington replied that the City Consulting Engineer did
4 not feel there would be water problems.
5
6 Steve Feldner, 5168 Longview Drive, expressed concern regarding
7 fertilizer runoff into the wetland, the exact location the sump
8 pump would drain to, and the possibility that the prospective
9 property owner would build a fence, spoiling the view of the park.
10
11 Harrington pointed out the n . i • • slain -• - •
12 been downsized because of the possibility of fertilizer runoff.
13 The proposed sod line allowed for approximately 100 feet to be
14 preserved in a natural vegetative state. He also indicated the
15 areas for the sump pump to drain to.
16
17 Mary Feldner, 5168 Longview Drive, commented that the soil of the
18 property was spongy even though it didn't appear to have standing
19 water. She felt that anyone who tried to build a house on this
20 property would have water problems.
21
22 Sherri Ruf, 1829 NW 127 Lane, Coon Rapids, stated that her father
23 has owned the property for 20 to 25 years. The property is a one-
24 acre lot. She asked that, if they aren't ever going to be able to
25 sell the property to build a home on, what is just compensation for
26 the people who have not been able to use the path to walk to the
27 park. The person who proposes to build it is a builder and the
28 person who proposes to live in the house is the builder's daughter.
29 She said that her father had paid taxes on this property for the
30 past 20 years and questioned the justification of the City not
31 allowing them to build on property that is buildable from an
32 engineering standpoint.
33
34 Todd McCall, 5164 Longview Drive, said his concern was that the
35 builder would change the landscaping plans after the approval of
36 this alteration application was received. Mayor Linke replied that
37 the builder would have to apply again if the landscaping plans were
38 to be changed.
39
40 Mr. Hjelle, 5161 Red Oak Drive, stated that he had lived in his
41 home for almost 30 years, and knew that the property contained a
42 lot of peat. He questioned the stability of the soil, and felt
43 there would be drainage problems which would impact the wetland.
44
45 Sandy Giancola, 5133 Red Oak Drive, said that she represented
46 several neighbors who could not be at the meeting and were
47 concerned about the development of this property. She expressed
48 concern regarding the wetland area, and asked if the prospective
49 owners would be allowed to put in a swimming pool and ice skating
50 rink. Harrington replied that they would be able to as long as it
L. , ,,,, nn n r
,, L, k 1 ll'
Mounds View City Council Page 9
Regular Meeting November 29, 1994
1 was outside the Buffer Zone. She also wondered what impact an ice
2 skating rink would have on the wetland, if one were constructed in
3 Woodcrest Park.
4
5 Linke explained that Woodcrest Park is below the elevation of the
6 property being considered for this application, so there would be
7 no impact to the wetland.
8
9 Councilmember Blanchard reported that she had received a phone call
10 from Ray Schelonka, 5139 Red Oak Drive, who was unable to attend
11 the meeting but expressed his concern about potential drainage
12 problems on the property. He is opposed to granting a Wetland
13 Alteration Permit.
14
15 Ms. Hjelle, 5161 Red Oak Drive, asked when the property was rezoned
16 from R2 to Rl. Linke explained that it had not been rezoned.
17 There could be R1 housing built on an R2 lot.
18
19 Trude asked if the proposed house could be built outside the Buffer
20 Zone.
21
22 Harrington explained that a 30 foot wide sanitary sewer easement
23 was taken by the County a number of years ago, which renders the
24 southeast corner of the property not buildable. A structure is not
25 allowed on the easement. There simply is no other buildable site
26 on this lot.
27
28 Trude asked if there was a situation in the city where an entire
29 new home, garage, and driveway were all constructed within a
30 Wetland Buffer Zone. Linke cited two examples.
31
32 Harrington explained that the purpose of the Wetland Buffer Zone
33 was to give the City a certain amount of control close to the
34 wetlands for storm water management. City Code does have
35 provisions to allow for development within those Buffer Zones if it
36 will not have a negative impact on the wetland itself.
37
38 Trude expressed concern that Councilmembers did not have adequate
39 time to review this issue, and said she would like to have the City
40 Consulting Engineer present for discussion.
41
42 Blanchard felt that the concept of having a Buffer Zone would be
43 destroyed by allowing an entire home to be built within it.
44
45 Linke said that by not allowing development on the only buildable
46 site of this property, it was basically a taking by the City. He
47 questioned what the City's liabilities would be in that case. He
48 added that the Buffer Zone was created ten years ago; prior to that
49 time this property could have been built on.

1 Steve Feldner used a map to indicate the area that he thought held
2 standing water, which included the proposed sod area. He was
3 concerned that this was a ploy to increase the property value, and
4 force the City to buy the lot.
5
6 Joel Sheldon, 5143 Red Oak Drive, said that there was six inches of
7 water standing in the proposed building site.
8
9 Trude commented that having the City Consulting Engineer available
10 to answer questions would be helpful. She would also like to have
11 a reportrom the engineer for the proposed developer and would
12 like to have a copy of the soil boring report.
13
14 Allen Sheldon, 5143 Red Oak Drive, said that water came in his
15 garage and he was also concerned about the drainage problems on
16 this property.
17
18 Mayor Linke closed the public hearing at 8: 07 p.m.
19
20 Blanchard expressed frustration in receiving this information at
21 the last minute, not allowing sufficient time for review. She felt
22 the City Consulting Engineer should be present and possibly the
23 City Attorney.
24
25 Councilmember Quick said that adequate time has been afforded for
26 discussion and suggested that Councilmembers curious with regard to
27 precedent setting review the minutes pertaining to Woodale Drive
28 developments (7656, 7660, 7662 , and 7664) and Harstad developments.

47
48 Mayor Linke read the Ordinance and explained that he had
49 presented this Ordinance at the previous Council Meeting. He
50 felt that the duties of the Environmental Quality Commission
, , i‘4 , , ,?,„
, ,
1 i c
Mounds View City Council Page 11
Regular Meeting November 29, 1994
1 could be taken over by the Planning Commission and the Parks
2 & Recreation Commission, noting that recycling issues will be
3 taken over by the Recycling Intern position. He cited the
4 difficulty of the EQC in maintaining adequate membership and
5 noted that New Brighton had abolished their EQC Commission as
6 well, dispersing the duties to other Commissions.
7
8 Richard Oman, 8205 Groveland Road, commented that he was the
9 Chairperson of the EQC and explained the difficulties in
10 maintaining adequate membership over the last year. He felt
11 that previously there had been adequate membership. He cited
12 issues contained in the FOCUS 2000 Final Report which he felt
13 pertained to the EQC, noting the establishment of the Greenway
14 Plan. Oman stated that his term as Chairperson would be over
15 this year, but he would still like to serve as a Commissioner
16 of the EQC.
17
18 Muriel Brainard, 7900 Greenwood Drive, said this action seemed
19 precipitous. She had understood that Mayor Linke requested
20 Samantha Orduno to inform the EQC members of the action being
21 taken regarding the EQC and wondered why Orduno had not
22 informed her.
23
24 Samantha Orduno, City Administrator, stated that she had
25 contacted Richard Oman, Chair of EQC, and asked if he would
26 like her to contact the other members or if he would prefer to
27 contact them himself. He informed Orduno that he would prefer
28 to contact the members himself.
29
30 Brainard presented two suggestions from Linda Hanson, a member
31 of the EQC. The first is that if a lack of interest does
32 exist, it is more important than ever to have an Environmental
33 Quality Commission. Hanson felt the problems with membership
34 were short-term.
35
36 Brainard suggested that the EQC meet quarterly or five times
37 a year. She announced that Gina Hennen, the student member of
38 the EQC, is now a voter and would make a fifth member.
39 Brainard felt the Council had failed to make a strong effort
40 to get members. She asked for clarification as to whose
41 responsibility it was to recruit new members to the EQC.
42
43 Linke said that it was the responsibility of the City Council
44 to advertise for members, but before that action can be taken,
45 the Commission must inform the Council that members are
46 needed.
47
48 Brainard urged the Council not to act precipitously on this
49 issue.

Regular Meeting November 29, 1994
1 Mr. Brasaemle, 5127 Long Lake Road, said that he is employed
2 by the Minnesota Department of Environmental Assistance and is
3 here to speak as a resident of Mounds View. He strongly
4 opposed any movement to repeal the EQC. He felt the need for
5 members had not been well publicized and stated that he would
6 be willing to serve if the Commission continues. He cited the
7 wetland issue discussed earlier in the meeting as an area that
8 would fall within the duties of the EQC.
9
10 (The Meeting was informally recessed due to a false fire alarm. )
11
12 Mr. Brasaemle went on to explain that the Planning Commission
13 considered issues based on Ordinances rather than the
14 environment. He felt that be removing the EQC, the Council
15 would be going against the constituency of Mounds View, and
16 suggested that an aggressive ad campaign be done to recruit
17 members. More residents would be made aware of the EQC if it
18 were given a higher profile.
19
20 Ruth White, 2917 County Road I, commented that she perceived
21 this action as being politically motivated. She stated that,
22 although she had no background concerning this, she felt it
23 was vindictive because two members of the Commission were
24 candidates for the City Council and this action was started
25 immediately following election.
26
27 Linke said that was not what had precipitated this action.
28
29 Councilmember Trude mentioned that the Council should
30 advertise for members for the EQC and provide the same amount
31 of support for this Commission that the Council provides to
32 the other Commissions. She felt the hiring of a Recycling
33 Intern would help add the support services this Commission
34 needs. A direct work plan should be provided from the Council
35 so that the activities of the Commission are ones that the
36 Council wants.
37
38 Trude felt that often her viewpoints regarding environmental
39 issues were not shared by the other members of the Council.
40 She felt the EQC was necessary to help make the City a place
41 that our children and grandchildren will be proud to inherit.
42 The issues to be considered by the EQC should be directed from
43 the Council so there are no misunderstandings, and Trude felt
44 the Council should accept blame for the problems of the EQC.
45
46 Trude suggested that the EQC suspend meetings until there are
47 seven members and that a strong effort to recruit members
48 should be made. She commented that the work plan of the EQC
49 should begin at the Council level and be directed to the
50 Commission, with results being returned to the Council.

1 Trude offered that, having attended Planning Commission
2 meetings for a year, she was certain the issues of improving
3 recycling goals, improving recycling at multifamily dwellings,
4 and other issues of the earth would not be handled by them.
5 She is opposed to the adoption of this Ordinance.
6
7 Councilmember Wuori said that the Planning Commission had
8 always been involved in wetland issues, whether it concerned
9 beautification or adherence to Codes. Regarding the
10 membership problems of the EQC, she commented that
11 participation of members is not something that can be
12 predicted. There are many different areas involved in the
13 environment and the Environmental Quality Commission, and the
14 members have been unable to focus on single issues.
15
16 Wuori noted that the EQC members have had their own personal
17 interests regarding the environment which included the areas
18 of garbage, recycling, trailways, and wildlife. The members
19 have not worked together, perhaps due to a lack of leadership
20 from Council or due to fragmentation of the group itself.
21 There were always new ideas and new reports but the issues
22 were not being followed through to completion. There didn't
23 seem to be the cohesiveness amongst themselves that is found
24 in the other Commissions.
25
26 Wuori said the duties of the EQC could be taken over by the
27 other Commissions quite easily and the members could bring
28 their areas of interest to those Commissions.

47
48 Mayor Linke explained that he had met with the Staff Officers
49 of the Police Department and was informed they only had two
50 computers, one of which is very old. There are two additional
1 174\ 0 n 77 n n ri‘ til-
Mounds View City Council Page 14
Regular Meeting November 29, 1994
1 computers that the individual Highway Patrol personnel have
2 been bringing for the Officers to use. Linke suggested that
3 three computers are needed, one for the secretary, one in the
4 Patrol station and one for the Sergeant's station. The
5 secretary would be able to use the existing printer and an
6 additional printer would be located in the Patrol area.
7
8 Tim Cruikshank, Assistant to City Administrator, reported the
9 computer and printer bid specifications that were furnished to
10 vendors. He stated that responses had been received from four
11 vendors for the computers: Ameridata, Zeos International,
12 Global Computronics and P.C. Tailors. The low bid was
13 received from P.C. Tailors in the amount of $1, 521.89 for each
14 computer. Responses had been received from three vendors for
15 the printer: Ameridata, Global Computronics and Dodd
16 Technical. The low bid was received from Global Computronics
17 in the amount of $1, 658 .21.
18
19 Cruikshank explained the purpose of Resolution No. 4667 was to
20 transfer funds from the Franchise Fee Contingency Account to
21 Police Department Capital Account for the purchase of three
22 computers, one printer, and a computer desk, which was
23 budgeted at $650, for the police secretary.
24
25 Councilmember Trude asked if the computer bid specifications
26 of 33Mhz would be adequate for the CD-ROM drive.
27
28 Cruikshank replied that 33Mhz would work for the CD-ROM drive,
29 but an upgrade would make it faster, thus more efficient.
30
31 Trude related her personal experience with the low bidder for
32 the computers and felt their service was poor. She was
33 concerned about the quality of that company.
34
35 Samantha Orduno, City Administrator, commented that she also
36 had previous experiences with P.C. Tailors and agreed that the
37 service provided by them was poor. Orduno mentioned that the
38 street directories and State Statutes were going to be on CD-
39 ROM and the speed of the computers would be important.
40
41 MOTION/SECOND: Trude/Blanchard to Adopt Resolution No. 4667
42 Approving the Transfer of Funds from Franchise Fee Account for
43 Purchase of Computer Equipment for Police Department in the
44 Amount of $9, 000
45
46 Trude noted that the amount to be transferred in Resolution
47 No. 4667 should be changed from $7, 000 to $9, 000. She
48 explained that Staff would be directed to make a wise
49 purchase.

11 Paul Harrington, Community Development Coordinator, explained
12 that State Law and City Ordinances require that people who
13 have the availability to hook up to Municipal Sanitary Sewer
14 must do so and eliminate any type of septic system located on
15 their property. Owners of the property located at 7604 Spring
16 Lake Road have approached the City regarding the possibility
17 of assessing the charge for hook-up. Harrington cited the
18 other properties within the City that previously had that
19 charge assessed. Because the hook-up is a State requirement,
20 the City wants to help the residents to be able to meet that
21 requirement.
22
23 Harrington reported that he had prepared all documents and
24 sketches required to proceed with a special assessment. He
25 has discussed the item with the City Attorney and City Finance
26 Director. This item is very similar to the ones the City has
27 done in the past.

41 Paul Harrington explained that in 1991 the City Council
42 approved a Lot Combination for the property owned by the
43 Estate of Arlien Newton. At that time, the representatives of
44 the estate indicated they would want to further subdivide the
45 property in the future. They would now like to subdivide the

UMMAItY;
At the December 5 1995 Council Work Session, staff requested that funds

selected wells was unable to be performed. With the shut down of those two
wells for nearly a year and a,half, remaining wells had to supply the City
with water.
Following the transfer of these funds, staff will advertise for to
inspect and perform maintenance of two wells . The funds transferred will
be $13 , 000 from Water Account # 700-4122-515 to the same account in the
1995 budget .

would allow any use that is prohibited in the zoning district in which the
property is located or which will:
a. Result in incompatible land uses or which would be detrimental to
surface and ground water resources.
b.-Increase the financial burdens imposed on the community through
increasing floods and overflow of water onto land areas within this City
or onto land areas adjacent to Rice Creek.
c. Be not in keeping with land use plans and planning objectives for the
City or which will increase or cause danger to life or property.
d. Be inconsistent with the objectives of encouraging land uses
compatible with the preservation of the natural land forms, vegetation and
wetlands within the City.
e. Include development of land and water areas essential to continue the
temporary withholding of rapid runoff of surface water which contributes
to downstream flooding or water pollution or development of land and
water areas which provide ground water recharge or development which
diminishes the land or water which are necessary to carry increased flows
of storm water following periods of heavy precipitation.
Subd. 3. Supporting Data: No permit or variance shall be issued unless the
applicant, in support of his application, shall submit engineering data,
surveys, site plans and other information as the City may require in order
to determine the effects of such development on the affected land and
water areas. (Ord. 505, 4-27-92)

'UBLIC HEARINGS:
[ayor Linke called the public hearing to order at 7:08 p.m. to consider a
.evelopment request known as Greenfield Estates, Harstad Companies.
aul Harrington, City Planner, reviewed Staff Report No. 92-314C regarding
his development request. Harrington introduced Jeff Roos, a representative
rom McCombs, Frank, Roos Associates, Inc. on behalf of Harstad Companies,
o go through the development request and Mr. Sabee, the City's consultant,
rom Barr Engineering. Mr. Roos went through the development request and
hat it entailed.
Mounds View City Council Page T"--==
'gular Meeting July 13,
Following Mr. Roos' presentation, Peter Sabee, Barr Engineering, the Cid==
consultant on this development, reviewed the application from Harstad and
how it complies with the conditions and standards brought forth in the
Mounds View Municipal Code. Sabee stated that there are twenty-one
conditiona that the applicant has to meet and, at this point, they have m=
eighteen of those conditions. Harstad still has to forward to Sabee
additional information on the wildlife values and water quality enhance.
values with regards to this development. The other item is that Harstad
to obtain a variance from the City allowing for the location of single
family homes within the 100 foot wetland buffer zone at setbacks ranginc
from 20 - 80 feet.
After Mr. Sabee's report, Mayor Linke asked for questions from the City
Council regarding the development.
•
Councilmember Rickaby asked if it would be possible to develop this area
without a variance for wetland setbacks. Rickaby asked if this developme
could be accomplished by moving the boundaries back.
Jeff Roos stated that all large lots abut the wetland and have a 100 foot
setback line.
^ouncilmember Rickaby asked if there could be a change in the lot lines
.ze of the lots so no building would take place in the wetland area.
Councilmember Rickaby also asked how this development agreement got this
through the process without complete documentation regarding the wildlife
enhancement value and water quality enhancement information.
Mayor Linke asked Peter Sabee what Harstad had given him to this point.
Peter Sabee stated that Barr Engineering had received a fair amount of
documentation on each item. Sabee stated that he has questions with
computations that were used to arrive at the numbers they have and he has
asked for clarification of these computations. This item could be handl z
by Harstad forwarding more detailed information to Barr.
Mayor Linke stated that Harstad had been turned down in the past for this
development because it did not meet many portions of the City's ordinances._
Mayor Linke asked if Harstad has now met the items that they had been tui .
down in the past. Mayor Linke stated that he had voted against the
development proposal in the past and that the reasons for his negative v—
would be very defensible in a court of law.
Sabee, Barr Engineering, stated that in general they have complied with
ordinances. All key issues were made to comply with the City's Wetland
Ordinance, other than the request for variance.
uncilmember Rickaby asked what the differences were in that the old
uevelopment did not meet what the new proposal meets.
Mounds View City Council Page Four
Regular Meeting July 13 , 19c^
Peter Sabee stated that the key issues had to do with location of wetland
boundary, criteria for setbacks, lot width and lot area. Mr. Sabee
explained the change in wetland boundary and how it was derived. Mr. Sabee
also stated that the lot size and area are in compliance. Lot area came in
to compliance by widening lots and bringing the lot lines further into the
wetland.
Councilmember Rickaby asked what had changed in the wetland boundary.
Mr. Sabee stated that basically the change was the method used to delineate
the wetland boundary.
Mr. Sabee explained that another concern was the method used for calculating
water quality enhancement. Many communities use the Walker method. This
method works by providing storm water storage to settle sediment particles
from storm water runoff. The more particles settled greater value of water
quality. Wildlife enhancement initial concerns are the shape and topography
of the ponds. Irregular sides and irregular bottom contours of ponds are
better.
Councilmember Rickaby asked if on this proposal there were fewer lots, but
greater proposed development area.
Mr. Sabee responded that there was probably more square footage in lots.
Councilmember Rickaby asked about a ditch in the proposal. Mr. Roos
described the location of the ditch, where it ran and the location of the
ponds.
Councilmember Rickaby asked what the effects on the flood plain would be
when one is preventing the lowering of the ground water level.
Mr. Roos stated that there would be no effect on water flow characteristics.
Councilmember Wuori asked if this development was changing the 100' setback
on the south and east sides. Are the setbacks the same as before or do they
extend further.
Mr. Roos stated that the south side doesn't change. On the east there will
be a change in the wetland zone at the south one third. There will be less
on the west side. Homes on the east side encroach further on the wetland
zone than before.
Paul Harrington, City Planner stated that houses that are currently in place
will remain as they are.
Councilmember Wuori also stated that it was her understanding that the
persons purchasing this property are purchasing a portion of wetland that
cannot be used and could not be maintained as a garden or part of their
yard.
Mounds View City Council Page Fi
egular Meeting July 13, __
Mr. Roos stated that the property owners will still have significant rear
yards.
Paul Harrington, City Planner, explained that in the wetland buffer zone
gardens can be maintained, sod and mowing can be accomplished, but not in
the wetland itself.
•
Councilmember Wuori stated that homes in that area during high water times
had flooding in their basements from ground water. Wuori asked if this
development—would increase the groundwater level.
Mr. Roos indicated that this development would not increase the groundwat4.
Councilmember Rickaby inquired of staff if the City has, since the wetland
ordinance was adopted, allowed people to develop wetlands. Councilmember
Rickaby stated that the City has given variances for what's in the wetland
100' buffer but what about in the wetland.
Paul Harrington, City Planner, stated that two commercial properties
developed wetlands. They were Sysco and Tyson Trucking. Harrington furtb—
stated that research could be done to see if any others had been granted
variances to do work in the wetland.
)uncilmember Rickaby stated that these are both commercial lots, but has
the City done this for persons buying lots with wetlands on them. Rickabv
stated concern that people with wetlands on their lots will make requests
develop these wetlands and how the City will monitor this. Councilmember
Rickaby further stated that the City has no prohibition on what the people
who buy properties with wetlands on them do to them.
Paul Harrington, City Planner, stated that the City can control what the
people do to the wetlands. The wetland buffer zone allows for yard
maintenance and landscaping. Harrington further stated that the City can'-
always catch the persons doing the work, but if reported the City can fol
up on it.
Councilmember Wuori stated that it could be years before the City could
catch them doing work on the wetland.
Sherry Nelson, 8303 Red Oak Drive, had concerns with fertilizer going int:
the ponds and asked what effect this would have on wildlife and other
growths.
Mayor Linke stated that the City does not regulate the use of these items,
but had looked at this problem in the past.
Peter Sabee, Barr Engineering, stated that nutrients put on lawns does en
the wetlands through the water drainage system. Sabee stated that he
)esn't know what can be done, perhaps, the City could develop some type =_
ordinance on a City wide basis. Other than that he doesn't know what car. la

done
9r"done other than people can take the responsibility to use good practices.
Jeff Roos, Harstad, stated that the computations on the project had to
encompass the entire drain basin which is approximately 150 acres even
though the lots are 5 1/2 or 6 acres in total. All flood storage and
enhancement calculations based on what could be done for the entire 150
acres. The water quality enhancement study was done for the entire basin.
William Werner, 2765 Sherwood Road, stated according to the presentation
made by Mr. Roos, the wildlife value will decrease by 1/10 of 1_ percent
which is 8, 657 vs. 8, 651. Werner ,asked if this computation can be made then
why can't the question of what percent of these lots will be in the wetland
itself be answered and can gardens be put in the setback area and will half
of the houses be in the setback area.
Duane McCarty, 8060 Long Lake Road, stated he would spare the Council the
litany now that the Council is experiencing the effects of changing the
wetland ordinance from preservation to enhancement. Mr. McCarty further
asked why the City, if it can control acts in wetland areas and maintain its
integrity, would it take park dedication property in lieu of the 10% park
dedication proposal.
Mayor Linke responded that the City Council would not accept the park
dedication proposal being offered by Harstad.
Muriel Brainard, 7900 Greenwood Drive, asked why the houses need to be built
in the wetland area. Why do we encroach on wetlands?
Mayor Linke stated that Mr. Harstad had owned this property for many years.
Linke further stated that he did not understand why Mr. Harstad did not
build on this property before the wetland ordinance came into effect.
Harstad then could have filled and put lots of houses in there.
Fortunately, it did not happen.
Muriel Brainard concurred with Mayor Linke and asked the City to stick to
the ordinance.
Roger Stigney, 8400 Eastwood Road, opposed alterations or variances to the
ordinance although he does not live close to this particular project.
Stigney asked why this development couldn't be modified so it didn't
encroach on the wetland.
Patricia Eggers 7944 Groveland Avenue, stated her opposition to building on
any part of wetlands. Eggers stated she wonders if Harstad should be
liable for the sewer system damage if the City has floods. Eggers further
stated that Harstad should guarantee no floods for fifty years and pay all
damages in the event floods occur.
Jeff Roos, Harstad, stated that Harstad is in compliance with the storm
water drainage plan. Roos stated that he didn't know anyone alive that
Mounds View City Council Page Seven
gular Meeting July 13, 1992
would make guarantees on behalf of mother nature. This development will not
impact waterflow characteristics of this site one bit. This development
provides more storage area. The watershed volume is increased, not
decreased.
Kay Weseman, 7807 Bona Road, stated she was very disappointed with the City
as only four years ago the City had gone through the same action and that
this proposal doesn't look significantly different, in her opinion, than the
one rejected by the City Council in 1988, other than Harstad is__ asking for
13- lots- instead-of- 17 or 18 . -Ms. Weseman stated that, in her opinion,-
this
developer has not met the intent of the ordinance at all. Ms. Weseman
stated her frustration that when persons went to the Planning Commission
with concerns and nothing was done to respond to these concerns with this
development, they were treated with tokenisms and told that it was not their
job to change the proposal. Ms. Weseman stated that this from the leader of
the Planning Commission on down is reprehensible. Ms. Weseman found out
that Peter Sabee was working with the developer in order that he could
comply with the City's wetland ordinance.
Kay Weseman asked how many times the public has to sign petitions and answer
surveys that are paid for by the taxpayers money questions that we do not
want to see wetlands encroached upon. Wetland boundaries should not be
^hanged. Do boundaries change over time? Are the boundaries the same as
stand here now. Ms. Weseman asked if the boundaries had been resurveyed
since 1987 to see if they are still in tact.
Sabee, Barr Engineering, responded that the boundaries established in 1987
have not been resurveyed. Sabee further stated that if there is a
significant change in watershed, such that on an average basis a lot more
water was moving through this wetland a lot more often, a boundary could
change. If some type of alteration were done within a wetland where a ditch
outlet was constructed that could have an impact on the boundaries. Also,
if the elevation were raised or lowered. The method of measuring the
wetland by the Corps of Engineers is based on things or features in the
field that do not change rapidly such as communities of vegetation, soil
markings indicating saturation, groundwater levels or water on top.
Kay Weseman inquired about ditch cleaning and drought having a significant
impact on the boundaries of the wetland if they had occurred previous to a
site inspection.
Sabee stated that drought would not change features that would be looked for
in a vegetative community or in the soils. There would be a predominance of
species but it would not change as rapidly. Perhaps it would not have a
good season, but would still be there.
Kay Weseman asked if it would change during a 10 year dry cycle in weather
patterns.
Mounds View City Council Page E;
Regular Meeting July 13, 1.--
•
Sabee stated that a 10 year dry cycle may have an effect. Sabee stated
he couldn't couldn't tell what the weather was like in 1987. The wetlands were drier
in drought years. One could walk in some wetlands where one wouldn't get
their feet wet and since that time those wetlands may have come back. S
are wetter now. According to the lines the Corps of Engineers uses, this
wetland has not changed. Communities of vegetation are very slow to
respond. Markings on the soil are there forever until someone disturbs
them. These types of features are not quick to disappear. If conditions
have been changed it makes delineation difficult.
Kay Weseman asked if a 10 year major ditch cleaning and a 10 year drought
cycle of weather patterns would have an. effect.
Sabee stated that if ditch cleaning were done one year previous, in his
opinion, it would have not effect.
Mayor Linke stated that the boundaries in the past were decided by aerial
photography and not by walking the site.
Kay Weseman stated that if these boundaries are being cast in cement, she
wants to know if the consultant feels at ease casting them in cement.
Mayor Linke responded that Peter Sabee had answered that question.
Duane McCarty stated that the Rice Creek Soil and Water Conservation
District had walked that site and used USGA MAPS.
Councilmember Rickaby stated that the size of the wetland has changed since
1987. Molly Shodeen, field inspector, had written a letter stating that
1979 - 1980 she had conducted the Ramsey County Wetland Inventory which
involved field inspection and typing of all potential wetland areas meetin=
certain criteria. When Ms. Shodeen field checked the wetland in 1980 she
found that the vegetation type was accurate and the wetland was Type 2.
In August, 1987, Ms. Shodeen stated that the wetland had changed character.
There had been a wetter period and there is now more development in the
area. Shodeen further stated that when there is more impervious surface
from roofs, driveways and streets, storm sewers direct more runoff into
wetland areas. Shodeen also states that in her opinion the increased
development has added significantly more water to this basin to cause the
vegetation to become, over time, predominantly cattail. Cattails require =_
wetter moisture regime than grasses and shrubs. Instead of being seasona
flooded as is characteristic of a Type 2, Shodeen stated in her letter, it
now appears to be at least waterlogged throughout the growing season in
order to support the cattail growth. Shodeen stated if she were to type
wetland at the time the letter was written she would have called it a good
Type 3 .
Mounds View City Council Page Nine
lgular Meeting July 13, 1992
Mayor Linke stated the Shodeen had stated the water had increased.
Sabee, stated that the Corps of Engineers measures the wetland as larger
than the DNR stated because of its method of delineation.
Kay Weseman, asked with regard to wildlife, what percentage of each type was
found within the wetland boundaries.
Mr. Roos stated the following square footages of each type of wildlife that
—was Bund.
18,270 sq. ft. Type II - marshland
30, 000 sq. ft. Type V - open water
80, 000 sq. ft. Type VI - shrub swamp (willows, poplar sprouts)
250, 000 sq. ft. Type III -
Kay Weseman stated that she was under the premise that this development
would create more Type III wetland.
Roos stated that there would be an increase in Type 5 open fresh water. The
Type 3 would decrease by 10%. No decrease in Type 2 . There would be a 30%
decrease in Type 6.
Jos stated that Harstad had not accounted for wildlife habitat in the
wetland buffer zone. The City's ordinance did read that there will be no
work done during the breeding season. This will cause the wildlife habitat
to re-establish very quickly.
Kay Weseman asked what it would cost to maintain the ponds and who would
maintain them.
Ric Minetor stated the costs would be taken from the general fund. The
clean out of the ponds would have to be accomplished every 5 to 7 years at a
annual cost of about $500.
Kay Weseman asked exactly what the purpose is, as indicated in the wetland
ordinance, of the wetland buffer zone.
Ric Minetor stated that the wetland buffer zone is there so the City has an
area adjacent to the wetland that gives the City more right to review as to
what happens in that area.
Rickaby stated that, in her opinion, the primary reason for the buffer zone
was to not impact the wildlife habitat and that a house could not be built
there because there is too much activity going on and it impacts wildlife
habitat.
Tray Weseman stated that the City and residents will be facing this question
.me and time again so why not have the foresight to create a fund to
purchase property if these areas are to serve as storm water drainage. Leave

Mayor Linke gave an example of a case in Eagan where the City Council deni
et
a developer full use of his land and the developer sued the City. The Co`
decided what the developer's land was worth, approximately twice the amour-
Kay Weseman stated that the City finds funds for good uses such as the watertower and in her opinion wetlands meet that criteria. Weseman stated that
she is sympathetic to the developer as he deserves to be compensated for tra
land he pays taxes on. Weseman stated _that__the_City-_does studies and --
surveys on everything else with the taxpayers money.
Mayor Linke stated that water towers and wetlands is like trying to compare
apples and oranges. He asked Ms. Weseman which wetland should the City br-.
Kay Weseman asked if the City of Egan had a wetland ordinance. Weseman
stated that the City has rights and did Mayor Linke believe that the federal
government would shoot us down for upholding our rights.
Duane McCarty asked how this project would be affected by House File 1,
the Wetland Conservation Act.
Sabee stated that he couldn't give a definite answer. Most projects as cf
the passage of that law need to address or meet conditions of the law.
There is a grandfather provision within the law. Mr. Sabee stated that as
he understands the law, it is for projects that have superstructures in
place or that have been improved.
Mr. McCarty gave Mr. Sabee a copy of House File 1 and asked him to read it
carefully before any decisions were made.
Ric Minetor stated that Rice Creek Watershed would be the responsible unit
of government according to the law. Should the development be approved,
then it needs Rice Creek Watershed permits.
McCarty stated that Rice Creek Watershed District should do their process
before the City finishes theirs.
Mr. Roos stated that it is a tennis game. Rice Creek Watershed is aware =_
the project but will do nothing until it is approved by the City.
Sandy Krogh, 7827 Bona Road, asked if the wetland map had been amended.
Mayor Linke stated that it was part of the resolution for the development.
Sandy Krogh asked if there was a process to follow in amending the wetland
map.

Ray Weseman stated that the people of the City of Mounds View are willing to
pay to have the wetlands preserved.
Councilmember Rickaby will bring in a copy of the newsletter.
Councilmember Quick stated that the people want a lot of things but the
bottom line is that the people in Mounds View do not want their property
taxes raised.
Councilmember Rickaby-stated-that she has a copy- of the 1988 and 1990 survey
and there was a question in the 1988 survey that asked, "Do you favor the
City buying wetlands to preserve them. " Over 501 of those surveyed answered
yes.
Muriel Brainard, How many homes could be built without making special
considerations?
Roos, without the variance there could only be two to three homes. Roos
stated that he wanted to make a point that the City is not giving up the
wetland. Roos explained that the wetlands were exchanged to create a larger
area of wetland.
Councilmember Rickaby asked why then there wasn't a development plan to
develop a wetland. :f
Roger Stigney, 8400 Eastwood Road, asked what the City Attorney's opinion is
in regard to legal concerns with this development.
Mayor Linke stated that if Harstad met all of the criteria and we still said
no to the development, we would go to court and loose. To not approve this
development, the City has to make sure that it has legal grounds that are
defensible in a Court of Law.
Jim Thomson, City Attorney, stated that the Council has to act reasonably
with regard to this matter. Thomson stated that the ordinance should be
looked at to see if the did follow the criteria stated in the ordinance.
Even if the criteria is followed, but the City deprives the owner of full
use of his property a court case could take place. If in compliance the
City Council has to make a decision.
Councilmember Rickaby stated that not only is the City guided by ordinance
but also by past decisions in this area. She asked if the City sets a
precedence when it makes a decision.
Jim Thomson responded yes in some cases. Does it mean that the City has to
do the same thing for all situations. Thomson stated it is very difficult
to have two cases exactly the same, but if they were it would be very
difficlut to do one thing with one and another thing with another.

Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as necessary.)
SUMMARY;
Within the past two years, the City of Mounds View has been in the process
of requiring all properties not hooked-up to Municipal Sanitary Sewer to
do so as required by City and State Codes. The property located at 2748
County Road J has approached the City regarding the possibility of
assessing the charge for hook-up.
Staff has prepared all documents and sketches required to proceed with a
special assessment. Upon consultation with the City Attorney and City
Finance Director, a special assessment for the project appears to be the
best alternative for bringing the property into conformance with the
aforementioned codes.
Attached to this memorandum you will find Feasibility Report Plans and
Specifications for the project, a sketch of the proposed hook-up and, a
petition and waiver requesting the assessment. Additionally, please find
City Council Resolution No. 4686 requesting the approval of the items
listed above as well as awarding of the contract for the work.
For your information, this is the last remaining property in the City which
is not hooked up to Municipal Sanitary Sewer.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to give me a call.

SANITARY SEWER CONNECTION
FOR 2748 COUNTY ROAD J
MOUNDS VIEW, MINNESOTA
SEPTEMBER 19, 1994
Introduction
The City of Mounds View has reviewed its policy regarding
sanitary sewer service. The City Code requires that any existing
building for human habitation be connected to the municipal sewer
system. This is also a requirement of State Statutes. The city
has been actively pursuing those properties that need to connect.
Existing Conditions
The property at 2748 County Road J. is a single family residence,
which was built before municipal sewer became available.
Municipal sewer mains were later installed and a service stub was
provided for this property. The property owner at that time
declined to connect to the municipal system. The existing septic
system is showing signs of failure.
The current owners have indicated that they are unable to finance
the entire project along with the sewer availability charge
(SAC) . The estimated cost of construction is $1,500 - $2 , 500 and
the SAC is $800.
Recommendations
Because of the possible operational problems of the existing
septic system and in the interest of public health, it is
important to have this property connected to the municipal sewer
system as soon as possible.
Due to the financial difficulties of the owners, it is
recommended that the owner pay the SAC and the construction costs
be financed by a special assessment to the property.
