City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Heidi Heller, Planning Associate
Item Title/Subject: Joint Discussion with Planning Commission –
Proposed County Road 10 Corridor Overlay District
The corridor continues to be the City Council’s priority and the Planning Commission has
been reviewing the Zoning Code in order to better promote and accommodate
redevelopment along County Road 10.
The Commission has been discussing the language for a Corridor Overlay District in
order to add higher standards to new development on the Corridor, but yet also allow
better use of the buildable land area. The City is willing to be flexible on requirements
such as setbacks, parking, density and height, but the City also wants projects that are
high quality.
A draft of the proposed overlay district language is attached for discussion. The Planning
Commission will be attending for a joint discussion.
Recommendation
Review and discuss the proposed language for a County Road 10 Corridor Overlay
District, and direct staff on how to proceed.
Sincerely,
Heidi Heller, Planning Associate
Attachment:
1. Proposed language for County Road 10 overlay district
PROPOSED LANGUAGE FOR COUNTY ROAD 10 OVERLAY DISTRICT
1120.03
Subd. 4. County Road 10 Corridor Overlay District
a. Purpose: The purpose of this District is to provide standards of development
for land lying on either side of the major transportation corridor along County
Road 10. The County Road 10 Corridor District is the primary gateway
through the City. The aesthetic impacts from new developments and
redevelopments must be evaluated to help ensure the long-term viability and
success of the District. Accomplishing the purpose of the County Road 10
Corridor District requires particular concern for the site layout, building
materials, site features and other related design elements. To that end, new
development and redevelopment shall conform to the standards in this and
related zoning requirements. In reviewing and approving land use
applications, the City Council shall make the final determination in the
compatibility and consistency with all provisions in this and related sections of
the Zoning Ordinance.
b. Overlay Area Defined: The following area is hereby established as being
within the County Road 10 Corridor Overlay District:
(1) All parcels that have frontage on County Road 10,
(2) All parcels that are within 200 feet of the County Road 10 right-of-way,
(3) The City may determine that a specific development area will not
benefit from the overlay district and can exclude that project area from
the district requirements.
c. Permitted Uses: The overlay district provisions apply to any base zoning
district set forth in this Title that exists within the defined overlay area.
d. Standards: For development of properties within the County Road 10 overlay
district, the following standards shall be applied where such standards
supersede requirements set forth in the B-1 (Neighborhood Business), B-2
(Limited Business), B-3 (Highway Business), and B-4 (Regional Business)
zoning districts. All other standards and requirements of the above-
mentioned zoning districts shall continue to apply.
(1) Construction Materials:
(a) At least fifty (50) percent of all exterior wall finishes on any
building shall be comprised of a combination of at least two of the
following materials:
• Brick
• Natural stone or cultured stone
• Glass
• Masonry stucco
• Other comparable or superior material as approved
by the City
1
(b) The remaining fifty (50) percent of all exterior wall finishes
shall be comprised of any combination of decorative or rock face
concrete block, concrete panels, metal or wood. All building
materials subject to approval of the City.
(c) Buildings may be constructed of primarily one of the
materials listed in Subd. 4d (1)(a), if the design exceeds the intent
of the ordinance.
(d) Non-decorative exposed concrete block buildings are
prohibited, as are pre-engineered metal buildings, corrugated
metal-sided buildings, and wood sided buildings unless such
metal buildings and wood sided buildings are enhanced on all
elevations by the application of brick, decorative masonry, or
decorative stucco surfaces in combination with decorative fascia
overhangs and trim.
(2) Architectural Design: Each building will be reviewed for at least the
following considerations:
(a) Appropriate location of structures on the site with
relationship to other site amenities, restrictions, adjacent land
usage, etc.
(b) General layout, roof treatments, proportion and quality of
exterior.
(c) In the design of buildings or clusters of buildings, developers
should orient projects so that the side(s) facing County Road 10
form the front of the project. Where front toward County Road 10
is not feasible due to the location of access roads and other site
constraints, the project should be oriented and designed in such a
manner so as to convey a pleasing appearance from County
Road 10.
(d) Screening of mechanical equipment, tanks, loading docks,
refuse handling, ancillary equipment, etc., whether on the roof or
on the site.
(e) Drainage pipes on exterior building walls facing a street
and/or County Road 10 must be integral to the design and non-
apparent.
(f) Exceptions to the architectural design standards set forth in
this section may be granted by the City Administrator or designee,
for structures of comparable design and building materials.
(3) Building and Parking Setback Requirements: Buildings and parking
lots should have no more than a five (5) foot setback from County
Road 10. The required setbacks for the other sides of the property will
be determined by the City, based on the specific project and land
usage.
2
(4) Off-Street Parking: The City will use the off-street parking
requirements in Chapter 1121.13 as a guideline, and base the final
determination of required spaces on the specific project and land
usage.
(5) Landscaping:
(a) Landscaping requirements shall be in accordance with
Chapter 1127, Tree Preservation and Landscaping.
(b) A minimum of fifteen (15) percent of the total area of each lot
shall be devoted to landscaped open space.

storage shall be landscaped with trees, shrubs, berms and
planted ground cover.
(6) Signs: In accordance with Chapter 1010.
(7) Outdoor Storage and Dumpster Screening:
(a) No outdoor storage shall be permitted unless such storage is
visually screened from view from County Road 10 and all
adjoining residential properties, with suitable solid fence
constructed of masonry or wood at least six (6) feet in height.
Screening shall be well maintained.
(b) No dumpsters may be located on the sides of buildings
fronting County Road 10, except if in the opinion of the City no
other suitable location is reasonably available for such purpose,
and provided the dumpster area is developed in a manner so as
to minimize it’s appearance from County Road 10.
(c) All dumpsters shall be entirely screened by a masonry or
solid wooden fence, with gate, or a comparable screening, at
least six (6) feet in height.
(8) Existing Uses and Structures: Uses and structures in this District that
were conforming prior to the effective date of this Ordinance will
remain conforming upon adoption of this Ordinance.

constructed after the erection of an original building after the date of
adoption of this ordinance, shall be:
(a) Constructed of materials comparable to those used in the
original construction, and,
(b) Shall be designed in a manner conforming to the original
architectural design and appearance, and,
(c) Meet all other standards set forth in this ordinance.

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Don Peterson, Public Works Supervisor
Item Title/Subject: Review Proposed Interior Improvements at Community Center
Background:
The City of Mounds View has an agreement with the YMCA to run the City of Mounds View
Recreational programs as well as the Community Center operations. Under section 4 of Exhibit
lll of the agreement, entitled “Duties and Responsibilities of City”, the City will adopt a budget
and a 5 year capital improvement plan for the community center on or before December 31 for
the subsequent year. In addition, these improvements will be planned with YMCA to develop
and implement the capital improvement plan for the subsequent year.
Discussion:
Public Works staff has meet with the YMCA staff members for building alterations for the
community center. Public Works staff contacted contractors to receive budget estimates to
present to the YMCA Advisory Committee to gain input and further direction. The Committee
recommended that the proposed improvements be discussed with the City Council. The
following is a breakdown of the improvement projects being proposed:
• Expand the cooler room A120 and A102 into one room. The room would be turned into
a large prep room kitchen for the banquet center. Individuals renting the event center
and would like some food would not need to be a licensed caterer.
Cost for this remodel $28,421.00.
• Remodel the office room B101 Move the event coordinator into the main office currently
being used by the YMCA Program director. Add a door to the west wall, construct two
office spaces in East end of the main offices. Relocate a window into room A110 and
confert this into a large conference room.
Cost for remodel $22,137.00
• Fitness area; Construct a wall in active area room B113. Remove wall in room B114
turn the entire area in the fitness area. The old fitness area would be turned into the
youth room. Closer to the main offices and active area.
Cost for remodel $37,461.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that Council review the proposed improvements and, if agreed to,
improvements will be scheduled and added to upcoming budgets.
Respectfully submitted,
Don Peterson - Public Works Supervisor

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Mark Beer, Finance Director
Item Title/Subject: Discussion of Priorities for the 2015 Budget
City staff has been busy working on the details of the 2015 budget.
This item is placed on the agenda to give the City Council and residents the opportunity to
provide input to staff early in the process. Department Heads can then use this guidance as
they work on the details of their proposed budgets.
Key 2015 Budget Issues:
Local Government Aid is projected to increase in 2015 as long as state revenue projections
hold. In our case, the 2015 amount is estimated to be $655,531 compared with $597,024 in
2014. We won’t have revenue forecasts until late fall reflecting the current legislative changes.
It has been the Council’s position to not budget for LGA so if there are further cuts it won’t be as
painful. The Council will have some flexibility for one-time purchases or replenishing the
Special Projects and Vehicle and Equipment funds.
Inflation is modest at present. (1.5% - 2%) The City’s charter cap would allow a levy increase of
(3.5% – 4%) and excludes debt service levies and capital project levies from inclusion in the cap
calculation. A 1% levy increase would generate an additional $42,650 in tax revenue. Property
taxes account for 69.7% of General Fund revenues.

2014 after TIF Dist 3 decertified and 3% levy increase 7,275,106 44.323 4,392,960
The above is an estimate of the effect on property taxes after TIF District 3 is decertified.
Taxes will decline by 2.51%
The City has settled all three union contracts (LELS Patrol, LELS Sergeants, and Public Works)
for 2014, 2015, and 2016, with a cost of living wage increase of 2%. In addition, 19 employees
will receive step or longevity increases in 2015 of 2% to 10%. The 2013 and 2012 budgets
provided 1½% wage increases and the 2011 and 2010 budgets provided for no cost of living
wage increase. Health insurance cost increases are not known, we will receive our rate notice
in mid August. The impact to the budget will depend upon the size of the unknown rate
increase. The City’s health insurance contribution increased $20 in 2014 to $980 per month
compared with $42.67 in 2013. After some plan changes and being considered a small group
the 43% proposed increase was reduced to an actual premium rate increase was 5.1% for
2014, 20% for 2013, 21% for 2012, and 0% for 2011.
The employer’s share of PERA will increase by .25% to 7.50% for Coordinated (non-police
officer) plan members, PERA coordinated rates have increased from 5.53% in 2005 to 7.50% in
2015. The Police plan will increase from 15.3% to 16.2% (.9%) in 2015, police PERA rates
have increased from 9.3% in 2005 to 16.2% in 2015. The Police PERA increase will add
$13,852 and Coordinated PERA will add $4,995 in 2015.
The payroll cost for 49.5 FT employees is $2,380 per hour, $19,040 per day, $95,200 per 40
hour week and $4,949,616 per year. Work comp will increase by $48,100 due to a significant
change in our experience mod from 1.01 to 1.33. Overall, pay and benefit costs will increase by
approximately $295,000 across all funds and $201,000 for the General Fund.
County dispatch fees will increase, 2014 proposed fees increased $8,903 or 8.82% to $109,819.
Fire department costs will increase by about 4% in 2015, our share will depend on the cost
sharing formula. Capital costs should be stable.
Information technology costs will increase by $2,000 to $4,000 for 2015.
Fuel prices were budgeted at $4.00 for 2014, staff would recommend using $3.25 for 2015.
Overall most revenues that are tied to economic activity will be flat to improving. Investment
income will remain flat to increasing in 2015 as a result of Federal Reserve activities and the
weak economic recovery. The franchise fee rate is at 4.00%, the revenue is split between the
General fund and the Street fund. The revenue generated from this fee will be dependent on
commodity prices and economic activity in 2015 but should be consistent with 2014.
2013 General Fund unassigned fund balance is $3,097,666 this represents 52.11% of 2014
budgeted expenditures and transfers. The General Fund also has Assigned fund balance for
Levy Reduction of $5,928,819, and $533,944 to balance the subsequent budget. It has been
the Council’s policy to draw down these funds over time. One of the City’s goals is to develop a
sustainable budget. The General Fund deficit will be over $830,000, this will be partially offset
by the drawdown of assigned (levy reduction) funds of $191,000. This will leave a deficit of
approximately $639,000.
Conclusion
Staff is looking for direction from the Council on priorities for the budget and property tax levy.
The above items are some of the issues that will drive the 2015 budget and are presented for
your consideration.

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: James Ericson, City Administrator
Item Title/Subject: Review Proposed Revisions to the Economic Development
Specialist Position Description
Introduction:
Staff advertised to fill the vacant Economic Development Specialist position and
interviewed candidates. Second interviews were conducted and an offer was extended to
the identified top candidate. The candidate ultimately rejected the City’s offer, leaving us to
re-evaluate the process and consider changes to the position to better match our
expectations.
Discussion:
It became clear during the interview process that some of the tasks and responsibilities
which we felt were critical to the position were not expressly articulated in the job
description. Duties such as marketing, communications, social media outreach and web
development were under-emphasized in the existing description if mentioned at all.
Conversely, given the limited availability of developable land in the community, certain
other tasks and duties were agreed to be less important. With these points in mind, draft
revisions to the Economic Development Specialist position were presented to the Economic
Development Commission on May 23, 2014. The Commission agreed with the revisions
and supported the re-naming of the position to Business Development Coordinator. The
Commission and Staff believe that a position focused on matters of business development
and business retention would be more consistent with the community’s present needs.
Recommendation:
Staff requests the City Council review the proposed changes and offer any additional
revisions that might be necessary. If the Council is in agreement with the changes, staff
would plan to present the job description for approval at an upcoming meeting along with
authorization to re-advertise to fill the position.
