Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sFees as necessary.) ,SUMMARY; Patrick Carlson of North Star Land Services, representing US West Communications, has made application on their behalf for a Conditional Use Permit to allow the construction of an enclosure to house fiber fed telecommunication services. The enclosure serves as somewhat of a "field office" for technicians tracking service related problems in the area. The enclosure is approximately 6'x 9' with an overall height of about 6'. The height of the structure is somewhat deceiving in that an additional 3' is located below ground. US West has indicated that access to the enclosure will be necessary every two to three months and that average length of on -site personnel is two (2) hours. Location of the structure will be in the extreme northwest corner of the Multi -Tech property fronting County Road H2. US West is currently in the process of obtaining a 20'x 20' easement from Multi -Tech for its needs. The Municipal Code requires that any structure necessary for the provision of public utility service within the City obtain a Conditional Use Permit prior to its construction. Staff has reviewed the request and found it to be in compliance with the requirements of the Code. The Mounds View Planning Commission has reviewed the request and recommended approval. This item was discussed at the June 5, 1995 City Council Work Session and is provided again this evening for formal consideration. -r l e-- au1.hI'arrington, ComMunity Development Coordinator RECOMMENDATION; Adopt Resolution No. 4787 approving a Conditional Use permit for US West Communications.

Explanation/Summary (attach supplement heets ::'necessary.) ,SUMMARY; The City's quotation on the July 1, 1995 renewal of insurance coverages has been received from the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust (LMCIT). Charles Clysdale, of the Maguire Agency, Inc., will be at the June 26, 1995 Council meeting to present and review the quotation with you. Attached please find a copy of highlights of the quotation. I will briefly outline the quotation and present several options for your consideration. The 1995 renewal quotation of $155,447 is presented on the sheet entitled "Premium Summary". The quotation is $28,293 under the amounts budgeted in 1995 for various insurance coverages. A sheet entitled "Premium Comparison" shows the renewal quotation, less the Liquor Liability premium of $1,975 for The Bridges, and the premiums for the past two years. The City's total 1995 premium is $2,548 more than the 1994 premium, an increase of 1.7%. The first few pages of the attachment present information about workers compensation insurance. Note that many of the rates have been reduced for 1995. In addition, the City's experience modification has been reduced to .72 from .75, giving the City a further discount of 3% from standard rates. All of those factors result in a 1995 proposed workers compensation premium of $43,100, which is $10,960 less than the 1994 premium of $54,060. An option, which our agent is recommending, will reduce our workers compensation premium by $5,652. That option is having a deductible of $5,000 on medical costs only. The City would be responsible for the first $5,000 of medical expenses for each workers compensation claim. The agent feels that this is a reasonable option because total medical expenses incurred for the last five years were $4,026, or an average of $805 per year. Another option to be considered is increasing the City's deductible on liability and property coverages from $5,000 to $10,000. This option would produce a savings of $10,100, which is approximately 10% of the premium for those coverages. The City changed from a $1,000 to a $5,000 deductible in 1988. Since that time the City has realized a savings of approximately $115,000 in premium costs. There have been only two occasions when the City has had to pay the full $5,000 deductible. While there is no guarantee that the City will continue to have a good claims experience in the future, it may be considered reasonable to assume additional risk for a premium discount of 10%. RECOMMENDATION; An additional option, which our agent recommends Council consider, is Open Meeting Law coverage for an additional premium of $1,432. Such coverage would reimburse Councilmember's legal costs for alleged violations of the Open Meeting Law. Attached please find a memo from the LMCIT describing this coverage in detail. RECOMMENDATION: Approve the July 1, 1995 renewal of the City's insurance coverages with the LMCIT in the amount of $155,447 plus or minus options presented.

JAY SALMT'N Following the last city council meeting, I have reviewed the special assessment policy. I recommend that the following modifications be made: 1. In paragraph I .D .2. , which deals with petitions initiated by property owners, delete the sentence "In the latter case, the City Council may, without a public hearing, adopt a resolution determining such fact and ordering the improvement." This sentence should have been deleted when the sentence following it was added. That sentence requires a public hearing to be conducted on all assessments where a public improvement project has been initiated by petition of the homeowner. 2. Paragraph I .D .3 deals with developer requests. The city code does not address the issue of whether public hearings are required in such a situation. The policy, as currently drafted, states that the city may, without a public hearing, adopt a resolution ordering the improvement when it is petitioned by a developer in the entire cost of the improvement is to be assessed against the developer's property. To be consistent, I think that it is best to require a public hearing in such a case. Consequently, I recommend that the following sentence be deleted: "In such event, the City may, without a public hearing, adopt a resolution determining such fact and ordering the improvement." A question came up at the council meeting regarding the relationship between Minnesota Statutes , Section 429.111 and Minnesota Statutes, Section 429.021, subd. 3. Section 429.111 states that any city operating under a charter may proceed. either under the state statute or under its charter in making improvements "unless a home rule charter or amendment adopted after April 17, 1953 provides for making such improvements under this chapter or under the charter exclusively." Section 8.02 J3T901t1 HUT 25 - 4 P z: Michael Ulrich June 21, 1995 Page 2 of the city charter states that local improvements will "be carried out exclusively under the provisions of this Charter." Consequently, all public improvement projects involving special assessments must be done in accordance with the city charter. Section 429.021, subd. 3 states, in part, that when a council proceeds under its charter, "such provisions shall be deemed to include the requirement that notices of proposed assessments inform property owners of the procedures they must follow under the Charter in order to appeal the assessments to district court." The notices must &so inform property owners of the provisions of sections 435.193 to 435.195, _which deal with —deferments, and -the- existence of any deferment procedure established by the city. Subd. 3 also contains a provision stating that charter provisions shall be deemed to include certain provisions regarding day labor. The paragraphs quoted above from subd. 3 were adopted after Section 429.111 was adopted. Con.sequently, it is my opinion that even though all local improvements financed partly or wholly by special assessments are carried out exclusively under the provisions of the charter, the requirements in Section 429.031, subd. 3 are applicable. Please call me if you have any additional questions.

PURPOSE The purpose of this Assessment Policy is to provide a_fair and equitable manner_ of recovering and distributing the cost of public improvements. While there is no perfect assessment policy, it is important that assessments be implemented in a reasonable, consistent and fair manner. There may be exceptions to the Assessment Policy when unique situations or circumstances exist which may require special consideration and discretion by the City Council. Therefore, the assessment policy is intended to serve as a guide for a systematic assessment process in the City of Mounds View. This policy shall relate only to those public improvements allowable under Chapter 429, Minnesota Statutes. These public improvements may include the following: a) Sanitary sewer utility system improvements b) Water utility system improvements c) Storm sewer, holding pond and drainage systems d) Streets, curb and gutters, grading, graveling e) Pedestrian ways f) Tree trimming, care and removal g) Abatement of nuisances h) Public mails, plazas and courtyards I) Service charges which are unpaid for the cost of rubbish removal from sidewalks, weed elimination, and the elimination of public health or safety hazards, upon passage of appropriate ordinances j) Surface water maintenance, ie ditch and pond cleaning B. PROCEDURE The procedures used by the City of Mounds View ("City") for levying special assessments are those specified by Minnesota Statutes and the City Charter, which provide that all or a part of the cost of improvements may be assessed against benefitting properties. The procedures for local improvements are summarized in Exhibit "A". While establishing the authority by which communities may proceed to construct public facility projects, the statutes provide no guide as to how costs are to be apportioned. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the local legislative body to establish a fair and reasonable method by which properties will be assessed. Page 2 C. ASSESSMENT CRITERIA Three basic criteria must be satisfied before a particular parcel can be validly assessed. They are: 1. The land must have received special benefit from the improvement. , 2. The amount of the assessment must not exceed the special benefit. 3. The assessment must be uniform in relation to the same class of property within the assessment area. The primary test for determining the validity of a special assessment is whether the improvement for which the assessment was levied has increased the market value of the property against which the. assessment operates in at least the amount of the assessment. An exception might be a project initiated by a single property owner/developer where market value increase may not be a relevant factor given the nature of the improvement. Another test for determining the validity of a special assessment is whether the assessment is based on a uniform method for all like classes of property. For example, the use of a front foot assessment for some properties and the use of a per lot assessment for other properties of the same class for the same improvement could result in a non -uniform assessment rate which could mean the assessment would be set aside or could be thrown out by the courts. D. INITIATION OF IMPROVEMENTS Public improvements may be initiated in the following manner and is a summary of the Mounds View Charter, Chapter 8, Section 8.04: 1. Council Initiated. The City Council, on its awn motion and without petition, may order the improvement on at least a 4/5 vote of the City Council. However, the City must still follow all statutory provisions which are specified in Minnesota Statutes, 429.021, subd. 3. Page 3 2. Property Owner Petition. The City Council may decide, by simple majority, on an improvement after receiving a petition for said improvement from the owners of not less than twenty five (25%) of the properties abutting on the streets named in the petition benefitting from the improvement. In addition, all owners of real property abutting upon any street named as the location of any improvement may petition the City Council to construct the improvement and to assess the entire cost against their property. However, as required by the City code, a public hearing shall be conducted on such improvements prior to adoption of a resolution ordering the improvement. The City Council may decide not to proceed with an assessment unless it receives an agreement, signed by all affected property owners, agreeing to the amount of proposed assessments and waiving their rights to appeal such assessments. Developer Request. A developer who is the owner of all the property within the proposed subdivision may petition the City Council to construct the improvement and to assess the entire cost against the developer's property pursuant to Minnesota Statutes. However, a developer's agreement, including a valid and enforceable waiver of its right to appeal the levy of special assessments, shall be negotiated and executed prior to said authorization. It may also be advisable.to conduct public hearings on the improvement to avoid misunderstanding by the petitioners and to also inform the general public about the nature of the project. E. PROJECT COSTS Project costs shall include, but not be limited to, the following: 1. Construction costs (day labor or contractual). 2. Engineering and consulting fees. 3. Administrative fees. 4. Right -of -Way acquisition/condemnation costs. 5. Legal fees. 6. Capitalized interest. 7. Financing costs. Page 4 The entire project shall be considered as a whole for the purpose of calculating and computing an assessment rate. However, project costs for work of a dissimilar nature (ie., where a project contains different types of work such as street resurfacing in one project area and street reconstruction in another area) shall be calculated separately and assessed separately according to benefit received. If City staff has doubt as to whether or not the costs of the project may exceed the special benefits to the property, the City Council should obtain such appraisals as may be necessary to support the proposed assessment. Appraisals may be obtained anytimeafter the improvement- has been ordered including prior to actually awarding the bid or entering into a contract for the work. The City Council may also conduct assessment hearings and actually adopt the assessment roll anytime after the improvement hearing and before a contract for the work is awarded. The Assessment Policy, in brief summary, consists of six (6) main sections addressing General Policy Statement, Methods of Assessment, Improvement Type and Cost Apportionment, Assessment Conditions, Supplementary Guide section and Definition section. Page 5 SECTION II - METHODS OF ASSESSMENT The nature of an improvement determines the method of assessment. The objective is to choose an assessment method which will arrive at a reasonable, fair and equitable assessment which will be uniform upon the same class of property within the assessed area. The most frequently recognized assessment methods are: the unit assessment, the front footage assessment and the area assessment. Depending upon the individual project, any one or a combination of these methods may be utilized to arrive at an appropriate costdistribution. City staff will consider all methods and weigh their applicability to the project and present a recommendation to the City Council in the form of a mock assessment roll (or rolls). A description of each assessment and its corresponding policy application is presented. A separate section (Section III) will identify the appropriate matchup of method with a specific type of project and analyze why each is generally used. The purpose of assessment formulas is to allocate assessed costs among benefitted properties without an actual determination, on a property -by -property basis, of special benefits received. However, the formula should result in a allocation of assessments which is reasonably related to the benefit received. Any one predetermined formula will not be appropriate in all cases because of circumstances unique to the relationship between the specific project and the specific properties benefitted. When considering an assessment method or formula for any given project, it may be necessary to combine assessment methods or to modify the methods described below. Therefore, the following description of methods of assessments should be regarded as guidelines, which may not be appropriate in all cases. Page 6 Unit Assessment. A unit assessment shall be derived by dividing the total project cost by the number of Residential Equivalent Density (RED) units in the project area. A RED unit is defined as a single family residential unit. All platted and unplatted property will assigned RED unit values equivalent to the underlying zoning. When the existing land use is less than the highest and best permitted use, the Council may consider the current use as well as the full potential of land use in determining the appropriate number of RED units. Otherwise, the following RED chart will apply on a per unit basis, subject to adjustment by the Council for any inequities: Single Family 1.00 RED Duplex 1.00 RED Condominium 0.80 RED Multifamily (3 units or more) 0.80 RED Townhouse 0.80 RED Commercial 2.00 Units Industrial 2.00 Units The unit approach has proven to be the best method in those instances whereby the improvement largely benefits everyone to the same degree and the cost of the improvement is not generally affected by parcel size. b. Area Assessment. The assessable area shall be expressed in terms of the number of acres or the number of square feet subject to assessment. When determining the assessable area, the following considerations will be given: 1. Ponding Assessment Consideration. Lakes, ponds and swamps may be considered a part of the assessable area of a parcel. 2. Road Right -of -Way Assessment Consideration. Up to 20 percent (20%) of the gross acreage may be deducted for street right-of-way purposes within unplatted parcels of five acres or more depending upon the parcel configuration and is only applicable to single family residential use. Parcels of less than five acres may not qualify and may be assessed full acreage. The reason for this size restriction is that, in most instances, parcels of less than five acres cannot support an internal public road system. 3. Park Dedication Assessment Consideration. When park land is dedicated as part of a residential development, as required by Subdivisions Code - Chapter 1204.02, the developer shall not be assessed an acreage charge on the portion of land dedicated. Page 7 c. Front Footage Assessment. The actual physical dimensions of a parcel abutting an improvement (ie., street, sewer, water, etc.) will generally not be construed as the frontage utilized to calculate the assessment for a particular parcel. Rather, an "adjusted front footage" will be determined. The purpose of this method is to equalize assessment calculations for lots of similar size. Individual parcels by their very nature differ considerably in shape and area. The following procedures will apply when calculating adjusted front footage. The selection of the appropriate procedures will be determined by the specific configuration of the parcel. All measurements will be scaled from available plat and section maps and will be rounded down to the nearest 1/2 foot dimension with any excess fraction deleted. Categorical type descriptions are as follows: 1. Standard Lots 2. Rectangular Variation Lots 3. Triangular Lots 4. Cul-de-sac Lots 5. Curved Lots 6. Irregularly Shaped Lots 7. Corner Lots 8. Flag Lots 9. Double Frontage Lots The ultimate objective of these procedures is to arrive at a fair and equitable distribution of cost whereby consideration is given to lot size and parcels are comparably assessed. Page 8 SECTION III - IMPROVEMENT TYPE AND COST APPORTIONMENT A. Street Reconstruction Including Curb and Gutter. The cost of street reconstruction shall be recovered by the adjusted front footage method. The front footage rate shall be determined by dividing the project cost by the total number of adjusted front feet in the project area x the individual adjusted front footage x two-thirds (2/3). The assessments per adjusted front foot may vary depending on the underlying zoning of a parcel. Assessments for residential properties whibh are on collector or arterial streets shall be adjusted so that the amount of the assessment shall be the same as if the project were constructed to residential street standards as provided in Section V.H.1. of this policy. The remaining cost shall be recovered by means of the general ad valorem property tax paid by the entire community or by other funds that may become available to the City for infrastructure cost recovery. Street Resurfacing. Street resurfacing is commonly known and referred to as street overlaying whereby a new bed of road material such as bituminous is installed over an existing paved road to a specific thickness. Assessments shall be determined by the adjusted front footage method. C. Sidewalk. Sidewalk improvements may be done in conjunction with a street reconstruction or as a separate project. In any event, cost of sidewalk improvements shall be recovered by means of the general ad valorem property tax paid by the entire community or by other funds that may become available to the City for infrastructure cost recovery. D. Sealcoatino. Sealcoating shall be treated as a general maintenance expense and shall be assessed in the same manner as street reconstruction. E. Sanitary Sewer and Water Mains. Repair and replacement of sewer or water mains is usually done in conjunction with a street reconstruction project and the cost of this work should be included as part of the total major street project cost and should also be considered to be included in the rate assessed for street reconstruction. If it is determined that the repair and replacement work results in a greater benefit to some properties and not to others, the Council should consider establishing a different assessment rate based on the benefits received. Page 9 F. Sanitary Sewer and Water Trunk Improvements. Trunk sewer and water mains are usually designed to carry larger volumes of flow than are necessary within an immediate property area in order to serve additional properties beyond the area of their immediate placement. Therefore, 100 percent (100%) of the cost of trunk improvements will be assessed on a unit basis to all properties within a district deemed to be benefitted from the trunk improvements. G. Sewer and Water Services. Individual sewer and water services benefit only the properties they serve and 100 percent (100%) of their cost shall be assessed to the property for which they are installed. H. Drainage Improvements. Storm drainage and ponding/basin systems are usually constructed to serve a specific drainage or "watershed" district. The cost of drainage improvements shall be two-thirds (2/3) assessed. The remaining cost will be paid for by the Storm Water Surface Utility and/or by an ad valorem tax basis to the properties within the district as provided by Minnesota Statutes. Storm sewer reconstruction normally takes place together with street reconstruction projects and the costs shall be assessed in accordance with the assessment policies related to street improvements. Site specific improvements would be assessed at a two-thirds (2/3) rate, to the benefitting properties. Special Conditions. Special consideration shall be given to the "age" of a street or utility system when determining the proportion of cost to be assessed to benefitted properties. If it is necessary to reconstruct or resurface a street or perform major repair/replacement work on sewer and water utilities, before a reasonable amount of time (10 to 12 years for resurfacing, 12 to 17 years for partial reconstruction and 17 to 25 years for total reconstruction) the assessment shall be calculated on a pro-rata basis. The remaining cost shall be recovered by means of the general ad valorem property tax paid by the entire community or by other funds that may become available to the City for infrastructure cost recovery. Page 10 1. Standard Lots. In this instance, the adjusted front footage for rectangular lots will be the actual front footage of the lot. The frontage measured shall be the lot width at the front lot line. MAIN AVP. SO' A 9,0 • a Adj. Front Footage EXAMPLES Lot A-50' Lot B-90' 2. Rectangular Variation Lots. For a lot which is approximately rectangular and uniform in shape, the adjusted front footage is computed by averaging the front and back sides of the lot. This method is used only where the divergence between front and rear lot lines is 20 feet or Tess. MAIN l 90' A I/O' AVVE. ao' Adj. Front Footage EXAMPLES Lot A-90 : 110 = 100' 2 Lot B-70 : 80 = 75' 2 3. Triangular Lots. For a triangular shaped lot, the adjusted front footage is computed by averaging the front and back lot lines. The measurement at the back lot line shall not exceed a maximum distance in depth of 150 feet. MAIN AVE. iCO A .L.J e \ 4.0' / I2C v i 2 0 ' Adj.

The adjusted front footage for those lots that exist on cul- de-sacs will be calculated at the midsection of the lot at the most reasonably defined and determinable position. This line will be computed by connecting the midpoints of the two side lot lines. Or, if the lots are similar in nature and configuration, a common lot width, such as the standard set back of 30' may be assigned based upon an evaluation of typical lots within the subdivision. Adj. Front Footage EXAMPLES Lot A- 75' Lot B-110' Lot C- 80' 5. Curved Lots. In certain situations such as those where lots are located along meandering trail system streets, read patterns create curvilineal frontages. In such instances, the adjusted front footage will be the width of the lot measured at the midpoint of the shortest side lot line. A ' r Adj.

Corner Lots a) On a corner lot, 100 percent (100%) of the adjusted front footage of the short side will be assessed and 25 percent (25%) of the adjusted front footage of the long side will be assessed for improvements benefitting the respective sides. The length of the property sides and not the orientation of the principal building shall determine adjusted front footage in this case. A series of lots (two or more) under common ownership shall be considered as one parcel or lot for determining which is the short or long side of a property. However, this shall only apply to series of lots on which only one principal building is situated. at VE. L) Adj.

Properties which utilize a narrow private easement or maintain ownership of access to their property exceeding a minimum length of 125 feet, thereby having a small frontage on a street, will be assigned an adjusted front footage of 75 feet.. This dimension is consistent with the subdivision ordinance which prescribes such length as the minimum lot frontage along a public roadway. The adjusted front footage for flag lots whose driveway access is under 125 feet will be measured at the building setback line from the access terminus. :0 AVE. 1 70 ' IL; Adj.

The term of special assessments shall normally be for a ten (10) year period. However, in some cases the project costs could warrant either shorter or longer terms. Some major reconstruction projects where several types of improvements are involved could lead to a very high assessment which could create a financial hardship if assessed for a ten (10) year term. A twenty (20) to thirty (30) year term may be appropriate in this case. In any event, the assessment term should never exceed the potential life of the improvement. B. Interest Rate. The interest rate charged on assessments for all projects financed by debt issuance shall be two percent (2%) greater than the net interest rate of the bond issue or debt used to finance the improvement, or the general rate of interest available to the City for municipal borrowing if the project is funded internally. This is necessary in order to ensure adequate cash flow when the City is unable to reinvest assessment prepayments at an interest rate sufficient to meet the interest cost of debt or when the City experiences problems of payment collection delinquencies. Interest on initial special assessment installments shall begin to accrue from the date of the resolution adopting the assessment. Owners must be notified by mail of any changes adopted by the City Council regarding interest rates or prepayment requirements which differ from those contained in the notice of the proposed assessment. C. Payment Procedures. The property owner has five available options when considering payment of assessments: 1. Tax Payment. If no payment is undertaken by the property owner, then special assessment installments will appear annually on the individual's property tax statement for the duration of the assessment term. 2. Full Payment. No interest will be charged if the entire assessment is paid within 30 days of the date of adoption of the assessment roll. 3. Partial Payment. The property owner has a one-time opportunity to make a partial payment reduction of any amount against his/her assessment. This option may only be exercised within the 30-day period immediately following adoption of the assessment roll. Page 16 4. Prepayment. The property owner may at any time prior to November 15 of the initial year, prepay the balance of the assessment with interest accrued to December 31 of that year. The property owner may also choose to pay the remaining assessment balance at any time, with the exception of the current year's installment of principal and interest. D. Appeals Procedures. No appeal may be taken as to the amount of any assessment adopted unless a written objection signed by the affected property owner is filed with the City Clerk's office prior to the assessment hearing or presented to the presiding officer at the hearing. The property owner may appeal an assessment to District Court by serving notice of the appeal upon the City Clerk within thirty (30) days after the adoption of the assessment and filing_ such notice with the District Court within ten (10) days after service of the appeal upon the City Clerk. E. Reapportionment Upon Land Division. When a tract of land against which a special assessment has been levied is subsequently divided or subdivided by plat or otherwise, the City Council may, on application of the owner of any part of the tract or on its own motion, equitably apportion among the various lots or parcels in the tract all the installments of the assessment against the tract remaining unpaid and not then due if it determines that such apportionment will not materially impair collection of the unpaid balance of the original assessment against the tract. The apportionment shall be done on the same basis as the original assessment unless another method of apportioning can be done with the owner's acceptance and if the apportionment will not materially impair collection of the unpaid balance of the assessment against the tract of land. In any case, the City Council may require furnishing of a satisfactory surety bond in certain cases as specified in Minnesota Statutes Section 429.071, Subd. 3. Notice of the apportionment and of the right to appeal shall be mailed to or personally serviced upon all owners of any part of the tract. F. Senior Citizen Deferral. Chapter 202.13 of the Mounds View City Code allows the City Council, at its discretion, to defer the payment of any special assessment for local improvements constructed by the City when it determines by a three -fifths (3/5) vote that the property being assessed is homestead property and that one or more of the owners of the property is sixty-five (65) years of age or over and that the payment of the assessment would be a hardship for the owner thereof. The interest for senior citizen deferral shall be at the same rate that the City sets for other property owners for the improvement. Page 17 SECTION V - SUPPLEMENTAL ASSESSMENT POLICY GUIDELINES A. Areas Partially Served by Utilities. Any tract of land, lot or parcel whereby a project improvement, such as sewer or water lateral or ending street terminus, does not extend fully past or beyond the property shall be considered served, benefitted and assessed accordingly. The current special assessment shall be subject to an adjusted front footage not to exceed 150 feet and a maximum current acreage of 2.5 acres, provided said assessment does not exceed the special benefit conferred upon the affected property. If an improvement benefits, non -abutting properties which may be served by the improvement when later extensions or improvements are made but are not initially assessed, the City may reimburse itself for all or part of the costs incurred by assessing those non - abutting properties at the time of the later extensions or improvements. However, proper notice must be given of that fact at the time of making the extensions or improvements to the previously unassessed non -abutting properties. The City may- also establish "hookup" charges to recover costs of sewer and water main improvements not initially assessed. B. Preliminary Plat Consideration. Land could be considered for assessment based on preliminary plat consideration. This consideration will occur only when the following scenarios exits: (1) the City Council has approved a preliminary plat, and (2) a public hearing ordering the improvement project has not yet occurred. In the event this exists, assessment frontages may be calculated based upon the proposed lot configuration within the preliminary plat. Road right-of-way within the proposed street alignment will not be subject to assessment. C. Tax Exempt Property. Other than land under City ownership, there are three categories of tax exempt properties. Said properties shall be assessed as follows: 1. Churches and schools shall be assessed in the same manner as commercial and industrial zoned property, as long as the assessments do not exceed the special benefits conferred. Acreage assessment shall be based upon the gross acreage of the site. Adjusted front footage shall be similarly calculated along the building setback line in its entirety. 2. State land is subject to assessment based upon procedures set forth in Minnesota Statutes, Section 435.19, subd. 2. Page 18 3. County land is subject to assessment and shall be assessed in the same manner as if it were privately owned, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 435.19, subd. 1, as long as the assessments do not exceed the special benefits conferred. D. Municipal Property Assessments. City owner property is divided into three classifications for the purpose of determining assessment participation. They are: 1. Pubitc Facility Land 2. Public Right -of -Way 3. Park Land Public facility property is defined as land utilized for public buildings such as city halls, fire halls, libraries, maintenance garages, municipal parking lots, etc. Public facility property within a project area will participate in the total assessable cost of an improvement and will be treated in the same manner as any other benefitted parcel. Public right-of-way property consisting of all City acquired easements, subject to fee title, for the specific purpose of utility placement or street construction will be assessed and treated in the same manner as any other benefitted parcel. Park land assessment eligibility is further categorized according to the following descriptions: 1. "Community Parks" are characterized by a higher degree of intense public use and are relatively large in area size. They are normally associated with athletic events and sporting activities, ie, softball, football, baseball, hockey, etc. Park lands of this nature will be subject to assessments. Because community parks provide citywide benefit, the cost of these assessment shall be recovered by a special levy upon the ad valorem taxes. 2. "Neighborhood Parks" accommodate open space objectives within residential development and are passive in use as indicated by such features as playground structures. Because neighborhood parks are commonly used by the immediate residents of the area, such park land will not be assessed if it comprises less than 25 percent of the aggregate project area. Larger parks representing an area greater than 25 percent of the aggregate project area shall participate in the assessment process in the same manner as community parks. Page 19 3. "Parkland Dedication" is required either in the form of cash in lieu of land or a land grant. The developer shall be responsible for the payment of all special assessments existing at the time of dedication. Depending upon the amount of land involved, the development shall not be assessed trunk acreage for that portion exceeding the minimum percentage dedication requirement for park purposes. E. Tax Forfeiture Assessments. When a parcel of tax forfeited land is returned to private ownership, and the parcel is benefitted by an improvement for which special assessments were canceled because of the forfeiture, the City may, upon notice and hearing as provided for the original assessment, make a reassessment or a new assessment as to the parcel in an amount equal to the amount remaining unpaid on the original assessment. F. New Subdivisions 1. The improvement costs of new subdivisions shall be the sole responsibility of the property developer except consideration shall be given for assessing any other properties that receive special benefit from the improvements. G. Street Standards 1. Minnesota State Aid Road Funds (MSA). The City is eligible for and annually receives funds from the State for the construction of roadways and related systems which are designed to specific standards. The State Aid procedures do not dictate how the City expends its annual appropriation, but rather it approves proposed City expenditures for eligible projects. Therefore, the City has the latitude to define how much MSA funding could be used in a given project. Stated differently, the City has the ability to define a project's assessable cost, and if the assessable cost is below the project cost, fund the difference with MSA monies.. The MSA Board has extensively researched design standards for roadways. The City has approximately eight (8) miles of MSA designated streets. These streets are classified minor collectors and must be constructed to MSA Specifications to received funding. In most cases, the widths of these roads will be thirty six (36) to thirty eight (38) feet. A select number of non -system streets may also be classified collectors based on their traffic counts and function. Residents residing on these streets will be assessed for a thirty two (32) foot wide street. The remaining street width will be funded from State assistance. Page 20 Residential streets will be designed and constructed for nine (9) ton and thirty two (32) feet wide. (This thirty two (32) feet, as all streets, is a face of curb to face of curb measurement.) Page 21 SECTION VI - DEFINITIONS ADJUSTED FRONT FOOTAGE The number of feet actually utilized in calculating an assessment for a particular property. This may differ from the actual front footage of the property. ASSESSMENT The dollar amount charged against a property receiving an improvement benefit. CONDOMINIUM DRAINAGE DISTRICT LATERAL MULTIFAMILY NUISANCE ABATEMENTS Individual ownership of a unit in a multi -unit structure (similar to an apartment building). A special relationship exists whereby the individual owns the actual air space within the physical confines of the unit but not the barrier walls themselves. An area defined by the City Engineer which shall form the physical boundaries where benefit exists within a storm sewer project. Property to be included within a district shall be all land which contributes to storm water runoff, as well as land serving as a collector basin for storing such water. Natural geographical features normally form these boundaries. A lateral sewer is designated to collect the sewage from a project area for conveyance to a trunk facility. A water lateral is sized to provide water in 'sufficient volumes and pressure as required to serve a defined project area. A structure of more than two (2) units, the primary purpose of which is to provide rental or leased living space to the general public. Building characteristics include common hallways for access purposes and a common parking lot. The elimination of a nuisance whereby the City acts on behalf of the property owner as authorized by ordinance to eliminate problems such as junk, weeds, dead trees, etc. The City may collect the charges for all or any part of the cost of eliminating any such nuisance by levying a special assessment against the property benefitted. Page 22 OVERSIZING A pipe which is designed and constructed larger and/or deeper than necessary to serve a specific project area. PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT TOWNHOUSE A project undertaken by the City under the authority granted in MSA 429.021 for the purpose of installation of improvements such as street, curb and gutter, sewer, water, etc. A public hearing shall be conducted to determine the necessity and common good of the project as it affects the community. Upon authorization, the City will proceed with -construction and administration of the project. Single family attached units in structures housing three (3) or more contiguous dwelling units, sharing a common wail, each having separate individual front and rear entrances; the structure is that of a row -type house as distinguished from multiple -dwelling apartment buildings. UTILITY IMPROVEMENT A defined area within which all properties are deemed AREA to have been served by an important project and are considered to receive the benefit.

Explanation/Summary_ (attach_s_upplemen heets a ecessary.) SUMMARY; Pinewood Elementary School has made application for a Development Review of their proposed building expansion at 5500 Quincy Street. The proposal, if approved, would allow the construction of approximately 5600 square feet of classroom and meeting room space on the south side of the existing structure. Judd Brasch of RSP Architects has met with Staff on a number of occasions to discuss the project and provide required materials. The proposed addition will be placed in an area which currently has bituminous cover and therefore will not increase the total impervious surface of the site. Based on this fact, the City Consulting Engineer has no concerns related to storm water runoff on the site. Additional parking required due to the facility expansion will be obtained on the north side of the building via a curb -cut relocation. Staff has reviewed the plan and found it to be in compliance with all requirements of the Municipal Code for a facility of this type. The Mounds View Planning Commission has also reviewed the request and recommended approval of the project. The City Council reviewed this item at the June 5, 1995 Work Session and it is provided again this evening for formal consideration. e-e- Pul Harrington, Co unity Development Coordinator RECOMMENDATION; Adopt Resolution No. 4788 approving a Development Review for Pinewood Elementary School, Planning Case No. 418-95.

Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as necessary.) SUMMARY; When Tim Cruikshank left the position of Assistant to the City Administrator to assume the position of City Administrator for the City of Lauderdale, direction was given to staff to advertise for an Administrative Intern. The City received over 25 applications for the position and on Wednesday, June 21, 1995, seven candidates were selected for an interview and an In - basket exercise. The In -basket exercise consisted of a test of computer skills, writing skills and attention to detail. Each candidate was asked to duplicate the Human Resources Budget on either Lotus or Excel and then write a staff report explaining the increases/decreases in the Budget. Each candidate was also told that several mistakes existed on the budget format and they were to find and correct the mistakes (i.e.: Mounds View was spelled as "Moundsview"). Out of the seven candidates, one performed exceptionally in the oral interview and In -basket exercise. She is Dawn Postudensek, currently an Intern with the City of St. Louis Park and former elementary school teacher. She will be receiving her Masters Degree in Public Administration next year. Her references described her as energetic, bright, willing to always go the extra mile and very knowledgeable about municipal operations. As we have entered the 1996 Budget process and are involved in many on- going projects, the additional assistance will be greatly appreciated. Therefore, staff is requesting that the Council approve the hiring of Dawn Postudensek as Administrative Intern, effective July 10, 1995 at an hourly wage of $9.25/hr.

IT WILL BE FINALIZED AND DELIVERED FRIDAY AFTERNOON. For the Week of June 19, 1995 - June 23, 1995 Well, this has been the week from Hell certainly hot as and certainly as chaotic as. We have been working on the 1996 Budget amidst all the other events, activities, the heat, phone calls, resident concerns, the heat, watering ban questions, the opening of the golf course, the heat, insurance renewal, network crashes, copier crashes, phone system malfunctions, broken ankles, and a whole host of things that have made this the week it was. Jim Hess is the one with the broken ankle - broke it playing ball over the weekend. He has been told by his doctor to "stay off that foot" so he won't be back in until next week. As the note on the top of the agenda indicated, we will deliver the first draft of the 1996 Budget tomorrow. Listed below is the top ten list why the Budget will be completed tomorrow: 10. The fire in Ely has burned our paper supply. 9. Tim Ramacher was the first to complete his budget and the rest of the staff are struggling to come up to his new standard of excellence. 8. The heat has melted basic brain functions. 7. We voted not to even do a budget this year, but too many of us have kids in college.... 6. Paul's computer won't cooperate with his printer. 5. My computer won't cooperate with me! 4. The network system won't cooperate with anyone. 3. It's just too damn hot! 2. The Mayor told us it was okay And the Number 1 reason the Budget won't be delivered until Friday: 1. THE COPIER WENT ON STRIKE AND THE REST OF THE STAFF REFUSE TO CROSS THE PICKET LINE! Okay, okay...the real reason. We have been working on this Budget in the midst of an agenda packet and everything else and just need one more day to finalize details. ******************* SATURDAY IS THE -DAY! THE BRIDGES FINALLY OPENS WITH THE DEDICATION CEREMONY AND SUNDAY WILL BE THE GRAND OPENING FOR THE PUBLIC! Can you believe it is finally happening!! This has been such a long, involved and labor intensive project from beginning to end. Please give Mary, Brus and Mike a big Thank You Saturday for all their work. They have been working so hard for so long to get the course ready. I believe everyone will agree that our course looks exceptional for its very first operational season. Remember Saturday, 10:00 a.m.! Also, the Pioneer Press was here today taking pictures and will be doing an article on the Bridges either Friday or Saturday. ******************** I received a letter by FAX from Tom and Theresa Welty regarding a request for sidewalk along County Road I, west of Silver Lake Road. I have included it herein. ******************** Mary Tatarek received a call this week from a New Brighton resident. I have also included the phone message log herein. ******************* Cathy and I interviewed 7 Administrative Intern candidates. The candidate that we are recommending for Council approval was the top choice by us and also by Audrey, Lynnette and Tracy who all participated in the process. Dawn Postudensek (she is getting married soon, so we will only have to say that name for a short time) is an energetic individual who will fit in just right with the entire staff and I am sure that the Council will be very impressed with her. I received outstanding recommendations for her from her current and past employers. I can't wait until she begins. I didn't realize how much of the little, but incredibly time consuming things that Tim did that I now find myself fully immersed in on a day-to-day basis. ********************* SEE YOU SATURDAY!! ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Site Tour: • After responding to several Metro East Development Partnership's request for proposals, Mounds View has been selected for a site tour. A fortune 500 company from the east coast is interested in facility space in Mounds View Business Park and over by the Bridges. I have arranged the tour and will market Mounds View as the best site for this company. Pride, Progress and Partnership T-shirts: • Garment Graphics has designed a logo for Mounds View Pride, Progress and Partnership T-shirts and Sweatshirts that will be sold at the Marketing Task Force Booth during Festival in the Park. The booth will also feature games for the kids and information regarding a monument sign, banners and marketing campaigns. We will be asking for volunteers to help implement the marketing program for the City. Design School Intern: • Jennifer, Samantha and I will be meeting with a representative from the University of Minnesota School of Design. The Design School is studying suburban housing and how to integrate rehabilitation efforts with design elements that enhance the community. We hope to have a representative use Mounds View as a research project for the program. Cathy PERSONNEL Cable TV Technician/Programmer. To date we have received three applications for this position. The deadline for accepting applications is Monday, June 26, 1995. (Hopefully we will receive a bundle before the deadline.) M.A.U.M.A. MEETING I attended a M.A.U.M.A. meeting Thursday morning along with Barbara Jeanetta, Assistant to City Administration, from the City of New Brighton. Discussion focused on Jobs for Public Affairs/Admin. Grads outside of Government location. This was my first time attending a M.A.U.M.A. meeting and was greatly appreciative to Barbara for the introduction to the board members along with the other members. Lynnette * Fedor's Market was hit again this week. Suspect broke window in front door and grabbed cartons of cigarettes. We had "staked -out" the store until 0415hrs., the incident took place at 0500hrs. Fedor's is taking security measures to make it a little more difficult for the suspects. * Dave Brick's mother-in-law/step-mother, passed away on Wednesday night. The funeral will be on Monday. * The Chief and Pat attended a Data -Privacy class on Wednesday. Pat will be attending an additional class on Thursday. It's starting out to be a "long hot summer". Kids, vandalism, assaults, we've been very busy. Tim R. Chuck Clysdale, the City's insurance agent, and I have received renewal rates on our property and casualty and liability insurance policies. We will present the renewal rates and some deductible options at the June 26, 1995 Council meeting. Budget preparers have been busy with the first draft of the 1996 budget. have heard some grumbling and groaning. The first draft is always the toughest. Attached is a chart of Bank Credit Card Interest Rates which was published recently in the Wall Street Journal. If you use a credit card you may be able to get a better rate from one of the listed banks. Most have 800 phone numbers. Call information (1-800-555-1212) for the phone number of a bank listed on the chart. Don * Mike is attending an AWWA Conference in Anaheim, CA. He will be back in the office Friday afternoon. * The Streets Department is into their 2nd week of patching. The weather, as you know, has-been smoldering. So if you happen to see them out there or any of the other maintenance crews, cherry popsicles taste pretty good * And of course with the higher temperatures, we have been in contact with NSP everyday, regarding peak control. If there is a peak control demand, we must shut off all power to the wells. If not, a substantial fine will be imposed. * This past weekend, the power was out (3) times on Saturday! This meant that all of the wells were down. Tim Fredberg and Bill Hanson were able to keep the water flowing by putting the wells on alternate power generators. * A watering ban was put into effect, June 19. We will observe the past requirements; complete ban noon-4pm, and the odd/even process. An article was put in the New Brighton Bulletin and information put on the City Sign. Tracy COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT NETWORK FILE SERVER Over the past weekend, City hall experienced a power outage which necessitated the file server going to battery backup. The configuration of the file server allows for battery backup for a maximum of 20 minutes, at which time the server shuts down. The 20 minute "grace period" allows for Staff to shut the server down manually. Because the power outage occurred during the weekend, no Staff member was available to manually shut down the server. Consequently, when the 20 minute battery grace period elapsed, the server experienced a "hard" shutdown. This resulted a the Toss of a few files from the hard disk. Because of this occurrence, Staff sent out for quotes this week for a new file server with more disk space and, a built-in safeguard against the kind of hard shutdown which occurred this past weekend. The cost for a new file server was budgeted for in 1995 - Staff will forward all quotes received to the Council for review. MHFA GRANT Jennifer received word this week that the grant she applied for through MHFA was awarded to the City in the amount of $262,000! This money will be available for financially qualifying residents to make home purchases and improvements. The City had applied for up to $750,000 in grants through the program but, due to the tremendous number of applications received by MHFA, only $262,000 was awarded. In any event, the money will allow the City to get a good start on the Housing Rehabilitation Program. Paul PARKS, RECREATION AND FORESTRY PARKS: * Graffiti was placed on several sites within the City over last weekend, June 17, and the park that was hit was Woodcrest Park building. The graffiti was removed by painting over the paint. As a result to all the graffiti on the buildings, the paint on the buildings don't match. The buildings will be painted in entirety when time allows. * Large trees were planted in the space on the berm at City Hall where the old MV used to be. That area became much too overgrown and weedy and a labor intense affair. Citizen Odas Newton used to volunteer his time weeding the garden area. Since Odas is no longer with us, the area went to weeds. The space was sodded over last year by an Eagle Scout. Now it has trees to match the surrounding area, offering shade for soccer spectators and a nice ambiance for City Hall landscaping. These trees do get sprinkling so it is an excellent space for planting trees. * Parks crew has been busy with normal daily park tasks as well as preparing park areas for special events including weekend graduation and family reunion parties. The parks crew also prepared Silver View for the Senior Day Picnic June 21. * Rough cut contracting services have been provided for cutting along areas which need special cutting equipment. Areas along Woodcrest Park storm water drainage ditch and similar type areas have been cut. * Along with other lakes in the Twin Cities, Lakeside Park beach has had swimmer's itch. The beach was recently treated again in anticipation that it will remedy the situation. The warm weather heightens the probability of swimmer's itch. It is hoped that once the hot temps dissipate, the problem of swimmer's itch will disappear also. RECREATION: * The Senior's Day Picnic at Silver View Park was once again a popular social event. Over 100 seniors spent the day at Silver View picnic shelter enjoying wonderful food, games, fellowship and- entertainment byTheMoldy Figs, abarber-shop- singing and musical group. Western Bank and the Mounds View Lionesses and Lions sponsored the event with contributions. Several volunteers helped during the event including the Lionesses and Diane Wuori. Sharie Linke organized this popular and well attended senior event. * Summer Playground programs began this week, June 19. The first trip to Crystal Caves in Wisconsin will be held Friday, June 23. The programs are all going good, with lots of Mounds View children spending summer days at the parks participating in activities. * Mary Johnson spent many volunteer hours last week burning the midnight oil scheduling over 190 youth volleyball teams from the entire state of Minnesota for the Star of the North Games. The schedules include pool play which incorporates many games, using many regional community school gymnasiums and resulting in a horrendously detailed scheduling assignment. Well, they picked the best when they picked Mary because he is a wizard when it comes to scheduling tournaments and leagues. I know the State Amateur Athletic Association is very happy to have the volunteer services of Mary Johnson. FORESTRY: * Rick arranged for the planting of many trees at the Golf Course last week, June 16. Several evergreen trees were planted around the first tee, several trees planted along Hole #8 to screen Highway 118 and several large Amur Maples were planted along the property line of Hole #2 tee screening the trucking company. Trees were also planted at City Hall as was earlier mentioned. GOLF COURSE: Staff has been picking up supplies and equipment for the Dedication and Grand Opening including food. Everyone is anxious to begin golf course operations. An electrical power failure in the City disrupted the schedule of sprinkling the golf course over the weekend and it becomes apparent how quickly new grass can become stressed. Arrangements have been made to immediately inform Mike Mueller when such power failures occur in the future so that he can readjust or do what is appropriate to ensure the sprinkling schedule of the golf course. Landscaping, trees, benches, tee markers and signs have been placed on the course. In addition, a portable restroom has been placed on the front side of the course. Water jugs will be placed before Saturday. Greens cups and flags will be placed for the first time on Saturday morning for the Dedication. CABLE TV: There has only been 3 applications received for the Cable TV Technician/Producer position. Staff is hoping that additional applications are received before the deadline. The Cable TV Committee and Coralee Wilson met with Steve Novak to express a concern State and Federal legislation regarding use of City rights of way by telephone companies who have the capability of providing cable tv activities - without being charged a fee for use of the right of way which cable tv companies are now doing, which funds local government access. This would impact funding for local cable tv activities. .TUN-22-1995 14:43 FROM MICRO -TECH TO 7843462 P.01/01 June 22, 1995 City of Mounds View 2401 Highway 10 Mounds View, MN 55112 Dear Mayor / City Council, As residents of Mounds View and the parents of two small children (ages 3 and 9-months) we have enjoyed the wonderful park facilities we have in our city. We have particularly enjoyed Silver View Park which is the park nearest our home. The problem we continually encounter, however, is accessing the park via foot, bike, stroller, wagon, etc. The park is within walking -distance -from our house, but to do so requires walking along County Rd. 1, which can be a very dangerous walk. We are writing to request that the city consider adding a side walk or trail along County Rd. 1, west of Silver Lake Road. One of the reasons we selected Mounds View as the place to raise our children was the abundance of parks and a perceived commitment on the part of the city towards sidewalks and trails. A sidewalk along the west extension of County Rd. I would provide the many families in our neighborhood (South of Hwy 10 and West of Silver Lake Road) safe access not only to Silver View Park, but also to the businesses and restaurants in the area (and to Bridgeman's and Mounds View Square once the pedestrian bridge is complete). As we watch the city council meetings on TV, it seems that safety is at the heart of many issues, We feel that it is extremely unsafe to access the park on foot (or bike) from our house at this time. As you plan your (our) budget, we hope you seriously consider our suggestion, Please feel free to call us if you have any questions or comments. Sincerely, *-111`^i Tom and Theresa Welty 7565 Groveland Rd.
