RESIDENTS REQUESTS AND COMMENTS FROM THE FLOOR:
• Mayor Linke explained that this portion of the meeting was designated for anyone who wished to speak to the
Council on items that were not on the Agenda. There were no comments or requests.
PUBLIC HEARINGS:
a. Informational Meeting Regarding Proposed Highway 610 Toll Road Project and
Old Highway 8 Reconstruction Plans.
Mayor Linke opened the Informational Meeting at 7:05 p.m.
Mr. Elwyn Tinklenberg, the Mayor of Blaine, representing the North Metro Mayor's Association was present
and stated as the Mayor of a neighboring community and as part of the North Metro Mayor's Association, they
are very concerned about what this proposal represents. He acknowledged the need for transportation access
in the communities and the problems in securing funding for transportation improvements throughout the metro
area, noting a profound imbalance that has occurred throughout the transportation system. He stated the 610
project is a commitment to the area and a result of the coordinated, consolidated and cooperative effort among
all of the communities, the business people and residents of the area to bring about some balance and fairness
to the region and to bring about economic opportunity and development for our area. Therefore they believe
that this proposal would be a betrayal of that effort and all of the planning that has gone into the project.
Mayor Linke introduced Mr. Bob Zauner, Chairman of the MN Transportation Group.
Mr. Zauner began by presenting slides to show the proposed project. He stated the proposal is intended to
provide an easier, more direct commute to and from work and other activities as well as reduce congestion thus
providing for better safety, and also the opportunity to achieve Economic Development much sooner. The
sooner the project can be completed in its entirety, the more attractive the area would be to potential
developers/builders/employers.

Mr. Zauner explained that the state is experiencing a transportation funding gap -the number of automobiles is
up, the fuel consumption is down and the average life of the vehicle is increasing thus funding for
transportation costs is declining.
Mr. Zauner noted that their proposal would include a second river crossing at the Mississippi River. The
original proposal for the 610 connection did not include the second bridge or improvements to the East of the
bridge. He provided a layout of the project, noting that they intend to the complete the entire project to the full
design and long-terns goals that have been established and to deliver the completion of the project within four
years.
Mr. Zauner explained how the proposed toll road would function. He noted that a transponder would be
installed to the dashboard of a vehicle and as the vehicle passes under, the vehicles use of the road would be
recorded and the driver would be charged for the use of the road that they used. Those vehicles from outside
the area that did not have the transponder device would be recorded via video imaging and those people would
be billed accordingly and charged a premium for the extra postage involved in that process.
He explained that their proposal would be privately financed and would not include tax exempt fmancing of any
kind. There would be no taxpayer risks. Furtherniore the project would be completed much sooner that it
would ever be completed under traditional methods. He noted they did not include the state resources that are
presently committed to the project and it is their vision that the state revenues would be part of a negotiation
with the Department of Transportation and the execution of the proposed agreement and that the money would
be made available to the communities in this area to fiuther provide additional infrastructure that otherwise
would not be committed to the area. He also presented a video which provided information in regard to how
the proposed toll road would function.
Mayor Linke stated he understands that their commitment would be similar to a franchise with the State
Department of Transportation. As he was told by them, after a period of time (after the contractor has
recouped his costs), that franchise would go away.
Mr. Zauner stated this is correct. From the beginning of the design process to the conclusion of the agreement
period, the State would retain the ownership of it. After the project is constructed, the contractor would
receive a franchise to operate it for the period of time necessary to retire the debt. The State and legislation
require that the project would never be used for anything other than what the purpose for which it was
intended.
Ms. Hankner asked what would happen after the debt on the project has been paid in full.
Mr. Zauner stated it would then become the property of the State for the state to do as it pleases. A special
fund would be set up for long term maintenance.
Ms. Hankner asked what the cost would be to complete the 610 project.
Mr. Zauner stated at this point they were looking at approximately $200,000,000 to complete the entire project
between 35W and 94.
• Ms. Hankner asked what is in it for their company.

Mr. Zauner stated. they would only be looking at a return on the investment of their down payment on the
project.
Ms. Trade asked if the state has contracted with their company for a set rate of return on that investment.
Mr. Zauner stated this would be a part of the negotiation as well. They would need to establish a maximum.
Furthermore if the traffic was greater than what was anticipated, that would also be subject to negotiation as far
as how it would be split up. He stated communities such as Mounds View could certainly be a part of that.
Ms. Trade asked if the state would be able to limit fee increases.
Mr. Zauner stated that would be regulated by the rate of return.
Mayor Linke stated he could see potential camera imaging problems in reading license plates during winter
months due to snow cover. He wonders if it would even work in an area such as this.
Mr. Zauner stated they are presently installing a system like this in Toronto. That road will be open in the Fall
and they will provide guarantees on the readability of the plates and the collections of the fees for the
• transponders.
Ms. Hankner asked what Mr. Zauner feels the payback time frame would be for this project, estimating
$200,000,000.
Mr. Zauner stated the payback would be on the invested capital, not on the $200,000,000.
The amount financed would be approximately 20% of the total cost. They will not be able to determine the
time frame until they see how the project is finally envisioned in its final forn~ and agreed to.
Ms. Trade stated generally toll ways have fewer entry points and she wondered if this proposal has fewer than
what the federal government has been working with.
Mr. Zauner stated their proposal is the same work plan as far an entrances and exits are concerned as they were
envisioned by MNDOT. He noted that"toll roads generally have a better safety record than other roads
primarily because they provide a high level of service and they are better maintained than traditionally funded
roadways.
Ms. Trade stated she is concerned that many of the occasional users the area roads (in particular many vehicles
pulling Recreational Vehicles) may not find the tolls reasonable. Their charges may seem high because they
have many axles or they are pulling a heavy load. Additionally there is much semi traffic. She feels many of
these types of vehicles will not use the toll roads but will rather use the free roads.
Mr. Zauner stated they feel they can provide a higher level of service such that the fee that they pay to use that
road will actually be a savings in comparison to the time that is saved.
Mayor Linke asked how the fee schedule works for those vehicles who have a transponder.

Mounds Vtew Crty Council
Mr. Zauner explained that it can be run on a debit or a credit system, whichever is preferred. The transponder
would run between $30 and $40, however there could also be some type of incentives set up.
Ms. Trude asked what the fees run for use of the toll road.
Mr. Zauner stated the total corndor is approximately ] 6 miles. The driver would only pay for the actual area he
traveled on the corridor. Based on a rate often cents per mile, a vehicle would pay twenty cents if he drove
two miles. The type of vehicle (passenger or commercial) would deternune the rate.
Duane McCariy, $060 Long Lake Road, stated he would like to know what the cost differential is for public
versus private over the life of the project -which is the most expensive and how much?
Mr. Zauner stated he is not able to anticipate what the cost differential would be because no one knows what
would not happen if the project is not completed. He stated he was told by the MN Department of
Transportation that there is no vision at all for the far portion of this project west of 169 or the river crossing.
Mr. McCarty stated he thinks that the public needs something more solid in terms of factual information before
any decision is made. He thinks that perhaps the communities should look as hard at the possibility of doing
. the project ourselves as we have in the past. He thinks the public should look into dedicating the motor vehicle
excise tax Yo a transportation trust fund, rather than see it put into the general fund of the State of MN.
Kent Allen, 7295 Silver Lake Road, asked what would happen if the revenues are not generated that are
anticipated. Would the State be forced to take the project back over and therefore experience an expense that
Mr. Zauner claims does not exist. He also wondered what would prevent use of the system by police force to
issue speeding violations. Also, if someone was hauling a boat trailer, what would prevent a fine from being
generated by the transponder only being registered with the car and not also the trailer.
Mr. Zauner explained that they are a private company and they do not share information with the police
department. If the project should fail, it is their risk and the investor's risk. The legislation states that the
project must continue to be used for what it is designed at. The state would either operate it or it would be sold
to another investor. The road would not be shut down.
Tom Snell, Director of the Metro North/Anoka County Chamber of Commerce stated that their Board of
Directors is opposed to this toll road and they believe that a toll road located in their community would
potentially adversely impact future economic development. Moreover it would represent a break in the bi-
partisan pledge to build and fund this project with support from the State of Minnesota. They feel that they
should continue to press that this project can be completed with full support of the State of Minnesota and they
would vehemently oppose a toll road.
Mike Aanestad, 3127 131st Avenue N.W., Coon Rapids, asked what existing roads would be taken into the
project.
Mr. Zauner stated their proposal would just connect 35W and Interstate 94
• Bruce Brasaemle, 5127 Long Lake Road, asked if Hwy. t ] 8 would be part of the mainline corridor. He also
wondered what the State and local government's benefit would be for the highways that were a part of the
Page 7
• January 22, 1996
Mounds Vtew Crty Counctl
mainline already in existence. What kind of return on investment could they expect for private companies and
private individuals on that part of the highway?
Mr. Brasaemle asked where Mi•. Zauner is expecting to relieve congestion. He believes there would be a
highway open with people who were willing to pay for a little further north that was free of congestion, but
there would still be the same congestion here, especially if the traffic is expected to increase dramatically by
2010. Is there any way of insuring that the economic development would truly benefit the eastern end of this
corridor?
Mr. Zauner stated that the return the local communities and users would get is that they envision that there
would be some upgrading and improvement to that stretch. That would lower the cost of the development,
lowers the amount that would need to be financed and in essence it would reduce the fee that would have to be
paid. In regard to economic development, they have not done any research on it but he feels quality
transportation would encourage development.
A resident of Coon Rapids on 94th Circle stated her development is located at the off-ramp for 610 and the
State has been negotiating with them to acquire some of their land. She wondered who they would be selling
the land to -the state or a private investment company? Does that make a difference in how much they should
. be receiving for that land?
Mayor Linke explained that he would assume that they would continue to deal with the MN Department of
Transportation.
Jim Sailthoip, 8250 Eastwood Road, stated he wondered why the project includes both the 118 corridor and
the area over in Brooklyn Park. Is that actually two different projects and could they be separated and still be
viable?
Mr. Zauner stated the completion of the project in its entirety is of the most benefit. Tying it all together creates
a root of value for all users and that is the way the project was envisioned.
Gary Henrickson of Northeast Minneapolis, stated he feels the November timetable given for a decision to be
made in regard to the project is inadequate. He further stated if we are connecting and using highway 118, we
have already paid for that highway and he would not want to be party to paying for that a second time.
Mr. Henrickson also wondered if a person with a transponder in their vehicle would be paying a monthly fee
even if they did not use the toll road. Also why would those without transponders be billed at a premium rate?
Mr. Zauner explained that there would not be a charge if the toll road was not used. The premium rate is
merely the same rate of usage plus postage and handling.
Andy Piilolia, 2649 Brighton Avenue N.E., representing MN Trucking Association, asked what the toll rate
would be for large trucks and what constitutes a "large" truck. He stated he also has concerns in regard to
freight movement and interstate truck operators that will be passing through the area. Also, trailers are
interchanged among trucks and he wondered how those trailers would be tracked. He understands that $82.5
million will come from MNDOT. That is money that is paid by highway users and if they would also be
required to pay a toll, he feels it is double taxation.

Mounds View City Council
Mr. Zauner stated the federal money incorporated into the project merely reduces the cost of the fmancing and
also the cost of the toll. As far as the trucker's license plates, the front of the vehicle will also be scanned.
The amount charged would commensurate with the use and damage impacted on the roads by trucks in relation
to automobiles. Generally the rate for trucks is 3-4 times what the cost of a car is.
Dave Wagner, 3252 Mississippi Street, New Brighton, stated he understood from a recent radio talk show that
there is some concern as to whether or not MNDOT is managing its funds appropriately or whether there are
other things we should be looking at in terms of transportation funding. He feels we should separate the issues
of toll roads from the issue of private financing.
Kevin McCarty, 219 91st Lane N.E., Blaine, asked what the official standing of MNDOT is on this issue.
Mayor Linke stated it is his understanding that this is just out for proposals and they are looking for some input
from the communities themselves.
Bruce Brasaemle, 5127 Long Lake Road, asked if this meeting is the only opportunity that will be given for
input from the public.
• Mayor Linke stated he was initially told that a decision needed to be made by February, however it appears this
date has been extended. A decision will not be made tonight and he encouraged input from the public, asking
that they call or write to city hall give their opinions as well as keep themselves posted as to the council
agendas.
Bill Fritz, 8072 Long Lake Road, asked what this proposal will do for him as a resident of Mounds View. In
comparison, what will it do TO HIM?
Rhonda Smieja, 5298 Steffen Street, asked if the project was bid competitively.
Mr. Zauner stated the MN Department of Transportation solicited proposals. The project goes through a
competitive process.
There were no further questions in regard to this project and Mayor Linke recessed the meeting at 8:30 p.m.
The meeting was reconvened at 8:40 p.m. by Mayor Linke. He explained that Mr. Dave Rholl of the Ramsey
County Public Works Department was present to discuss the proposed reconstruction plans for OId Hwy. 8.
Mr. Rholl explained that this project is basically a partnership between Ramsey County and the City of Mounds
View. He provided a diagram to indicate the proposed realignment of the roadway which would include turn
lanes, new curb & gutters, etc. The proposal also includes a trailway and a parking area for canners.
Mr. Rholl stated Ramsey County anticipates that it will take four to five months to obtain the necessary permits
for the reconstruction of the roadway. They plan to start that process within the next six to eight weeks. It
appears that the bulk of the construction will be done in 1997.
. Mr. Greg Lane of Midwest Industrial Supply stated the area has been a congestion problem for a number of
years. He noted some concern about the four Lanes being reduced to two lanes just in front of his building.

Barbara Matelsky, 4949 Old Highway 8, stated she purchased her home in February of 1994. At that time, she
inquired as to whether there were any proposals which would affect her property. She was not provided with
any information in regard to this. She was concerned that acquisition of a portion of her property would bring
the roadway too close to her home.
Ms. Trude asked if trees on the property would be lost.
Mr. Rholl noted that as proposed, some mature trees would be lost. The proposal provides fora 40 foot
roadway, which is a very popular roadway size.
Gil Groberg, 2657 Sherwood Road, suggested that they look at different design options.
Chet Glisan, 4943 Old Highway 8, stated he felt it would be necessary to provide sidewalks to address the
safety issue. He noted that the area is used regularly for rollerblading and he feels a safe area should be
provided for these people as well as other pedestrians. He further stated he felt they may need to acquire more
land than what is currently anticipated. He stated trucks turning onto Mustang Drive create problems in the
flow of traffic.
• Mr. Bruce Brasaemle, 5127 Long Lake Road, stated he is in favor of providing a solution to the continual
congestion problem at County Rd. H and Hwy. 10. He however, would suggest that the county look at
providing a 36 foot roadway rather than 40 foot and install a sidewalk for the kids at the mobile home park.
Mr. Rholl stated he would like to schedule a neighborhood information meeting in approximately one month to
provide further information in regard to the proposed project.
There were no further questions and Mayor Lirilce closed the informational meeting at 915 p.m.
Public Hearing to consider a Conditional Use Permit request to allow an oversized garage at 2908 Ardan
Avenue. Mayor Linke opened the Public Hearing at 9:15 p.m.
Ms. Joyce Pruitt, Planning Associate, explained that Mr. Anthony Honkomp had made an application for
Conditional Use Permit to allow for the construction of a 994 square foot attached garage to his proposed
single family home at 2908 Ardan Avenue. She stated the Mounds View Zoning Ordinance allows, by
conditional use permit, up to 1,264 square feet of garage/accessory buildings square footage on one lot.
Ms. Pruitt stated the Planning Commission has reviewed the request and has recommended approval.
However, approval of the request would be based upon two conditions which she outlined in the resolution.
These include: (a) the conditional use permit be recorded with Ramsey County within 60 days of City Council
approval, and a receipt of such recording shall be provided to the City of Mounds View; and (b) the building be
designed and maintained to provide a uniform building appearing with the dwelling unit.
Mayor Linke closed the Public Hearing at 9:19 p.m.
MOTION/SECOND: Trude/Quick to approve Resolution No. 4878, Approving a Conditional Use Permit to
• Allow and Oversized Garage for Anthony Honkomp, 2908 Ardan Avenue.

Public Hearing to Consider Request for Conditional Use Permit, Development Resource Group, 7295 Silver
Lake Road.
Mayor Linke opened the Public Hearing at 9:.19 p.m
Ms. Joyce Pruitt explained that Terry Malley had applied for a Conditional Use Permit to operate a software
and hardware engineering firm at 7295 Silver Lake Road. The property is zoned B-1 and the Municipal Code
allows for professional and commercial offices by Conditional Use Permit. She stated the application is in
compliance with the Municipal Code and the Planning Commission has reviewed the request and
recommended approval with the three following conditions:
a. As per the direction of the City Forester, landscaping including the placement of three 2-inch shade trees,
American Linden or Sugar Maple, on the north boulevard of the property.
b. Repair potholes and seal cracks on the parking lot of the property.
c. The Conditional Use Permit shall be recorded with Ramsey County within 60 days of City Council
approval, and a receipt of such recording shall be provided to the City of Mounds View.
Ms. Pruitt stated the city had received a concern from a neighbor. He noted that the spotlight shines directly
into his duplex. She has talked with the applicant in regard to this concern and he has agreed to angle the light
downward to alleviate the problem. The second concern addressed the fence on the back end

provide a report of the official statements, the annual audit and material events, which his company would be
able to complete on behalf of the city for a fee. The sale of the bonds would take place on February 12, 1996.
MOTION/SECOND: Trude/Hankner to authorize staff to begin preparing necessary documents for the
refunding of the municipal bonds.
Mayor Linke called for a Special Meeting to be held at 6:00 p.m. on Monday, February 5, 1996 to further
discuss this item. A resolution will be presented to the City Council for their consideration at this meeting.
VOTE: 4 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried
B. Consideration of Resolution No. 4889, Appointing Pedestrian Bridge Citizen Task Force.
Ms. Trude explained that the time has come in which to appoint a Citizen Task Force for the Pedestrian Bridge.
As per the contract with BRW, it allows for a Task Force to meet three times with the architect to come up
with recommendations in regard to the bridge design to be presented to the City Council. The following
recommendations have been made to the Task Force Committee: Sue Fisher (Marketing Task Force), Sue
• Weber, Pam Starr (Parks & Rec.), Delayne Welsch (Hwy. 10 Task Force), Florence Johnson (wheelchair
user/resident of Wildwood Manor), Ed Hanson (Manager of Snyder's), Sue Hankner, Julie Trude and staff
members Mary Saarion, Mike Ulrich, Joyce Pruitt, and Rick Jarson who would serve an advisory role.
MOTION/SECOND: Trude/Quick to approve Resolution 4889, Appointing a Task Force to Select a Design
for the Highway 10 Pedestrian Bridge.
VOTE: 4 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried
C. Use of Contingency Funds for Brush Removal.
Mr. Paul Harrington explained that City Forester Rick Wriskey went through the city to assess the damage from
the ice storm. He has recommended that a City Clean Up be funded. His concern is that damaged limbs, if
not removed, could cause further damage and the potential of disease. He has estimated that the total cleanup
will cost between $5,000 and $ l 0,000. The City would be divided into quadrants and certain days would be
established to have residents put their brush on the right of way and a contractor would pick it up. Mr.
Harrington explained that a flyer could be printed, it would be run on Cable TV, and it would be run in the
Bulletin and the Focus Newspaper.
MOTION/SECOND: Hankner/Trude to authorize the use of Contingency.Funds not to exceed $10,000 for
brush removal.
VOTE: 4 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried
Ms. Trude noted that seniors who need assistance getting their brush to the curb can contact the Northwest
Youth and Family Services.
