Phillip Seipp, president of SYSCO/Continental,
explained they have over 220 employees in their
company, and they are very proud of their low turn-
over rate, and they also attribute the success of
their company to their employees.
Mr. Seipp explained the site plan has evolved through ('
many discussions with City Staff and input from the `w
residents and the Planning Commission. He added they
are willing to address all the issues presented.
Scott Ki%kaid, of Ryan Construction, reviewed the
site plan and the changes made zince the last presen-
tation.
Dick Koppie, of Westwood.. Professional Building
viewed the site plan for grading, drainage, landscap-
ing and —traffic flow. He explained they have been
requested to align their roadway with existing Xylite
Street, due to anticipated traffic flow, and that,
coupled with the location of the Williams Pipeline on
the property and constraints in building near that,
resultsin the encroachment on the wetland. He added
they are working with the Rice Creek Watershed
District, Department of Natural Resources, Army Corps
of Engineers, and City of Mounds View, in meeting the
requirements of all the governing bodies.
Ron Peterson, a wildlife biolog!st, reviewed the
wetland mitigation package that has been developed,
and he reviewed the wetland boundaries and how they
were arrived at. He also presented a drawing of how
the wetlands would be after development. Mr. Peterson
reviewed the issues the ordinance requires to be addressed
and how they had approached them.

Kathy Ayaz, 7751 Bona Road, asked if the 100'
buffer zone indicated by the Mounds view Code was
included in the Corps of Engineering mitigation.
Mr. Peterson replied the boundary is actually beyond,
and the mitigation plan has been developed to offset
the encroachment within the buffer area also.
Sabri Ayaz, 7751 Bona Road, stated he felt the develop-
er was doing a commendable job and was not ignoring
both boundaries. He added, however, he feels it has
only"one boundary, and the Army Corps of Engineers is
more knowledgeable than the City, and they should only
discuss the Corps boundary. He added they should
deal with the 100' setback, which is not honored in
this proposal.
Mr. Peterson stated they did not assume the 100'
buffer zone beyond the Corps boundary.
Councilmember Hankner explained for the City to
accept the Corps boundary line would require an ordi-
nance change, which would be time consuming, and there
is not enough time with this project.
Mr. Ayaz asked why they don't use the City's boundaries
Grather than the Corps.
Mr. Peterson explained the only encroachment would be
the roadway.
City Planner Herman stated Staff had asked the City's
consultant to compare the city's requirements with
the Corps of Engineers.
Attorney Kerney advised ::he Army Corps of Engineers
far exceeds the City's 100' buffer with the exception
of a siva�l area, and they are responsibh�undacto 1iesCwere
which would have to be changed if the
moved to that of the Corps.
Mayor Links noted the current Code was changed in 1983.
Councilmem'uer Hankner reviewed 'now the City boundary
was established in 1983 or 1964.
Mr. Ayaz stated he would like a copy of all wetlands
in Lite f•1=, .. 3
he still feels this would be encroach-
ing. He was presented with a map of the City's
wetlands.
Mr. Kinkaid explained the encroachment is necessary
due to lining up the road and the placement of Williams
Pipeline, and those two issues are what is driving that
portion into the wetland. He added if they were relieved
of those two constraints, they could stay entirely out of
the buffer.
Mounds view City Council
Regular Meeting
Mr. Peterson explained if the 100' buffer was added
to the Army Corps of Engineers, it would not be
any greater than the impact from the mitigation.
He pointed out there is also the opportunity to add
additional mitigation in the future.
Mr, Ayaz stated he did not want the City to set a
precedent for other wetlands. He added an excellent
job has been done here, with the proposed wetland
being much better than what is there now, but he is
afraid the building encroachment would set a
precedent.
Clerk/Administrator Pauley replied the City has dis-
cussed this in depth with the City Attorney, and they
feel there are enough extenuating circumstances in
this case, that they could continue to enforce the
ordinance.
Mr. Ayaz replied he was satisfied.
Attorney Karney added the circumstances in this develop-
ment are unique and he feels they can remain consistent
in applying the Code on a case by case basis.
Mr. Koppie reviewed the traffic projections, clarifying
that they are for truck traffic, not cars.
Ms. Ayaz noted it had been brought up at the joint
Planning Commission/City Council meeting last week
that a good portion of the site had already been
cleaned, and in looking at the wetland ordinance,
that is a misdemenor to clear any vegetation before
the City has issued a permit. She stated she under-
stood the owner of the property had done the clearing
and asked what action the City would be taking against
him.
Clerk/Administrator Pauley replied that after consult-
ing with the City Attorney, a letter of warning was
sent to Mr. Miller.
Attorney Karney explained .that if legal action more
than a warning letter was taken against this property
own•:r, they yould have to do the same to all the other
property owners in the City, including residential,
who may nave mowcd their lawn too close to a wetland.
He added the fine could be up to $750 or 90 days in jail,
or both.
Councilmember Hankner noted in a previous case a warning
letter had been sent and thus a precedence was set to
send a warning. She added it is a problem throughout
the City with garbage and grass clippings being dumped
in the wetlands, and they must educate the public.

Dave Jankee, of Eastwood Road, asked why the public
hearing had been cancelled.
Mayor Links explained Staff did not get notice to
the paper in time for their cut-off, so the public
hearing had to be rescheduled to November 14 to
allow for proper notice.
Mr. Jankee asked how long it would be before action
would be taken.
Mayor••Linke replied they are working as fast as they
can.
Councilmember Hankner explained the procedure that
is followed,and what happens once a proposal is
received by the City. She stated they may or may
not take action on November 14, depending on the
issues that are resolved or unresolved at the
conclusion of the public hearing. She added they
could keen the hearing open for a time or could close
it and wait for further Council discussion, or close
it and take action that night.
Mr. Ayaz asked what advantages were offered the
developer as a tax increment district.
Clerk/Administrator Pauley they have only had
one negotiation meeting so far and nothing has
been formulated at this point.
Mayor Linke closed the regular meeting and opened
the public hearing ac 8:14 PM.
Finance Director Drsger presented overhead graphs
showing water fund expenses comparing 1988 to 1989,
project -income and loss for 1989, and water rates
for 1963-1939, and sewer fund expenses comparing
1.988 to 1989, project income and loss for 1989 and
sewer rates for 1983-1989. He noted there will be
a sizeabl,_ increase in the sewer and water billing
for the average customer, of $8 per quarter.
Mr. Ayaz noted the sever increase is approximately
20% and questioned why it was so high.
Finance Director Bracer explained it is connected
io the billing for sewer treatment from the Metro
Waste Control Commission and increases to the City.
He explained 60% of the cost of the sewer budget is
® for treatment of sewage.
Mayor Linke closed the public hearing and reopened'
the regular meeting at 8:30 PM.

Clerk/Administrator Pauley explained that after the
special meeting with the Library Board, they were
notified the Board will be having a special meeting
on November 1 to authorize the issuance of bonds,
and they would like some idea of thn preference
of the Council for the location of the library by
City Hall. He stated he had directed Public Works
supervisor Minetor to review the options available
using the feasibility study the Library Board
developed and zcview them with the Council.
Mayor Linke stated there had been discussion with
Mr. DeGross, owner of the gas station, last week,
and he has not had negotiations with the County.
He stated the contamination on the site has been
determined to be from 1963.
Public Works Director Minetor presented overhead
maps of the property in question and reviewed the
three options possible for the location of the library
and its future expansion.
Clerk/Administrator Pauley explained the Library Board
will make the final decision on the options presented
by the City, so the Council should be clear in stating
if they have a preference. He also advised they state
that if the land used is donated by the City so the
County doesn't have to go out and purchase it, the
funds saved should be reinvested in the Library, in
meeting rooms or some other manner. He added the
Council will have development and site review on the
plan.
Councilmember Hankner stated she was not happy with
taking commercial property off the tax rolls, es-
pecially when it could require a good deal of clean-up.
She also pointed out the City has administrative costs
on that site for trying to get it cleaned up.

Park Director Saarion stated that as an advocate of
City Hall park, she would like to see the park kept
as activity oriented as possible, without land being
taker.. She pointed out the park is used extensively
for picnics as well as other activities, and she felt
the first two options presented would add to the
activity potential, whereas the third option would
remove it, along with the soccer field. She also
questioned how much impact there would be on the trees
on the property and pointed rnt the City coul- lose
the designation of a community park.
Mr. Ayaz stated he agreed, that option three would
be a noisier location and would take away the soccer
field.
Public Works Director Minetor stated the gas station
site would be favored over the other two, specifically
because of the loss of property and use of that property
with the other two options, and the noise involved.
Councilmember Blanchard stated she had received a call
last week from someone on the Library Board, and does
not feel the Council has to make a definite recommenda-
tion or decision.
Councilmember Quick stated they could possible place `
the building to the center, and it is up to the Council
to decide the impact they would agree to most.
Park Director Saarion pointed out if a softball field
is ta:.en out, it would eliminate 16 teams of uj, to 20
players each, and considerable revenue from their fees.
She added it would not help much to add lights to
other fields, as there is a 10 PY curfew anyway.
Clerk/Administrator Pauley suggested ;raving Staff indicate
the Coureil's desire for the Library Board to ursue
P -
negotiatiuns on the gas station site, and if that is not
successful, the Council would then have options they
could propose at that time. It was agreed by the Council
to take that approach.

MEMO TO: Clerk -Administrator and City Council
FROM: City Planner Herman
DATE: November 3, 1988
SUBJECT: SYSCO/CONTINENTAL MINNESOTA
At their November 2, 1988, meeting the Planning Commission took
formal action on the PUD Concept for the SYSCO development. A
copy of the resolution is attached for your review.
Additionally, the Planning Commission discussed the wetland
issues asociated with the project and made the following
conclusions:
1) Per the verbal presentation by Barr Engineering, the
Commission recommended the granting of a wetland
alteration permit. To clarify, at the present time, Barr
Engineering has not received all required information to
make their analysis, particularly information on storm
water run-off from parking areas. However, they feel the
criteria for granting an alteration permit for filling and
dredging can be met. Barr Engineering feels the missing
information is about issues that can be easily worked
out. Barr Engineering did point out that they cannot
determine if the effects of the filling or dredging has a
"substantial or significant" adverse effect upon the
wetland. This conclusion, per Chapter 48.06 must be
determined by the City Council.
2) The Planning Commission felt that a variance from the 100
foot setback for the roadway could be granted. The
Planning Commission felt that the issue of safety, because
of the traffic generated by the development, creates an
extraordinary and exceptional circumstance which applies
Lo this property which does not apply to other properties
in the samF: area. The two counties involved, Anoka and
Ramsey, have requested that the roadway be aligned with
Xylite due to the tiafety issue; therefore these special
conditions are not a result of the applicant but ratter
from the actions of the governing bodies. The future
changes in County Road J which will create a steep g:ade
on the western portion of the property, not allcwing for
site access, also creates extraordinary or exceptional
circumstances not created by the applicant.
3) The Planning Commission felt that a variance from the 100
foot buffer could be granted because of the extraordinary
circumstances of the pipeline being on -site. The pipeline
location constricts the buildable area of the site and
forces the developer to move the building farther east.
-z-
There is some indication that the building may be shifted
40 feet to the west which would remove the building from
the 100 foot buffer. This is measured as the 100 foot
buffer from the wetland after filling and reconfiguration
as would be approved by the Council by granting a wetland
alteration permit.
At Monday night's meeting, Barr Engineering will give the Council
a verbal presentation on their wetland analysis of the proposal.
At that time the developer will be presenting a revised site plan
addressing comments obtained from previous meetings.

MEMO TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: City Planner
DATE: November 3, 1988
SUBJECT: 1989 RECYCLING BUDGET
In late October I received a memo from Ramsey County requesting
Mounds View's proposed budget for recycling in 1989. Because
this budget must be to the County by November 15, our first
course of action was to receive an updated estimate from Super
Cyle, our recycling contractor. The Council may recall that
during the last bidding process, only two bids were received; one
from Super Cycle and another bid that did not meet the
requirements set forth in the City's proposal request.
Although Ramsey County has not approved their recycling budget,
it seems that they will have the option to provide for twice a
month collection, increases in public education costs, and a
grant for 50 percent of the price of containers for participating
households. These potential increases present some opportunities
to the Council. would the Council, if the City can receive
funding, like to increase the pick up to twice a month rather
than the current once a month collection. From all information
available, an increase to twice monthly does increase the level
of participation communities. This is generally believed to be
the case because of the convenience factor for individuals. They
do not have to store the recyclables as long, and if they miss
one of the pick-ups, the have the opportunity to make the other
pick-up. The other issue is, if the City would like to pursue
the idea of providing containers for the households participating
in the program. As earlier stated, the County feels that the
funding for containers will likely consist of 50 percent grants
for the cost of the containers and distribution up to a maximum
of $5.97 for each household that would receive containers. The
City would have to come up with remaining 50 percent of the
cost. Is thi Council interested in lool:inc; into the provision of
containers? An option may be that the City obtains the grant
from Ramsey County which will pay for 50 percent of the
containers and then giving residents the option to purchase the
containers at a cost which covers the remaining 50 percent.
Attached you will find a quote from Super Cycle regarding a
recycling contact for 1989. In 1988, we were paying Super Cycle,
$1,692.00 per month for pick-up service. Under the new terms of
the contract we would pay el'933.nn for once a month aiek-up.
This represents a 14 percent increase over last year. You may
notice that the twice a month service would cost the City
$3,480.00. The twice a month figure represents a savings for the
City because each of the pick-ups only costs the $1,740.00,
whereas, the once a month pick-up is $200.00 above that figure.
lam,,
-2-
Staff would recommend that the Council obtain the twice a month
pick up service. I believe this would help our participation
level and help create better awareness of the recycling program
in the City.
A final issue for consideration is; does the Council wish to
continue with Super Cycle, Inc. or should we go out for bids.
Staff would recommend that the City continue with Super Cycle,
Inc.
In general, the recycling program in the City has gone rather
smoothly. While we do receive comments from residents on
recycling day about missed pick-ups, Super Cycle does provide
late pick up if notified. Other problems that we have
encountered in the program are residents not placing the
recycables out in containers that Super Cycle will pick up. I
believe that this is an issue the City should try to resolve in
better educating the residents. Another reason why Staff feels
that the City should continue with Super Cycle is that we did not
receive any bids of the same quality during our last bidding
which was in the Spring of 1988. Because of the provision that
Ramsey County requires; all recycled material must go to the
Ramsey County waste treatment facility, it has been uncompetitive
for some bidders outs4le of Ramsey County to bid in the County.
It is my understanding that this provision has not been lifted as
a requirement of the County, and therefore, I do not believe that
we would receive any competitive bids if we went out for
bids again.
I would like to poin!out to the Council Item 42 in the letter
from Super Cycle. This states that there is an option of the
service area being expanding to include 17 housing structures
which is 591 multi -family units. Wiat this means is currently
the contract with Super Cycle is for multiple family dwellings of
17 units or less; it is my hope th;it throughout the 1989 year we
can start working with apartment owners of buildings greater than
17 units and get their participation. This would involve working
with each of the owners individually and setting up a system for
storing the recyclables in one convenient location until the
Pick-up date. It is my understanding that Super Cycle does
provide larger containers plus pick-up for these multi -family
units with an additional charge of $25.fo per multi -family
'truCt uiC dnQ 70 service. There areper unit f8r certain apartmenitsuthatfdorly notreceiving r nl the

There was little or no real interest in establishing a fishery in

City with a contract to perform the tasks above omitting the tasks
which deal with fisheries. 04

want to be sure that the consensus of the people is to omit the
fisheries and concentrate on wildlife habitat and pond aesthetics.

Memo To :Mayor and City Council Members
From :Ric Minetor, Director of Public Works
Date :November 1, 1988
Subject :No Parking Zone - Hillview Park
South Side of Hillview - Greenwood to Long Lake Road
We have received a petition from the residents along the south
side of Hillview Road for a "NO PARKING" zone between Greenwood
Drive and Long I-ake Road. They are requesting this because of
their concern for safety of pedestrians and problems with lawn
damage. ( See attached letter. )
There appears to be only one concern with this proposal: There is
a limited amount of parking at Hillview Park. Previously, we
decided not to provide parking within the park and to provide
parking on the street adjacent to the park. There would be
approximately to parking spaces along Long Lake Road and
approximately 20 spaces along the north side of Hillview Road.
The only concern is whether 30 spaces will be considered
sufficient for this park. The down -sizing of the hockey rink will
probably lessen parking demand this winter. At this time I do not
see a problem, but should parking demand increase eye will need to
review the situation.
My recommendation is to grant this request with the undersranding
that future conditions may require review of this decision.

1. With the rew snowplowing program in effect in 1989,
it is essential that I am capable of making it to
work to supervise and instruct new operators.
2. A training program is being developed where each
operator will be required to ride with a qualified
operator for a certain period of hours and then.
operate accompanied by a qualified operator for a
certain number of hours before they are qualified
to operate the truck individually.
3. The ether reason being that, should the need arise
for another snowplow we would have a pick up
equipped to handle this. I have discussed all
these issues with Ric Minetor and have his support
based upon my recommendations. I would like you to
approve these pick ups as soon as possible due to
the fact that the current water department truck is
in dire need of repair and the 4 wheel drive will
be needed for winter use.
The bid received by Polar Chevrolet included the following
additional equipment which was not bid by Viking Chevrolet.
For this reason we are receiving more for the money spent
than by taking the lower of the bids.

This past summer we had the demonstration of a Howard Price
180 and a Toro 560. If you remember the comparison of these
two machines and the reasons I stated at that time, for the
obvious choice of the Howard Price, were that it will do our
cutting of our parks throughout the summer and then has the
capability of also being equipped with a 6'. blower to clear
our sidewalks and hockey rinks. The Toro does not have ':he
capability of being outfitted with a blower. Prior to this
demonstration, we had the opportunity to use the Howard
Price for three days in which we mowed the'cntire City in
approximately 2 1/2 days. My employees ghat did operate the
nachine recommend it very highly for reasona of
manueverability, serviceability and excellent mowing
capacity. This is the only machine that met specifications
and can be equipped with a 6' blower to clean our sidewalks
and rinks. No other manufacturer can supply this type of
equipment. That basically, is the reason we received only
one bid. The budgeted amount for this equipment was

Memo To :Mayor and City Council Members
From :Ric Minetor, Director of Public Works/City Engine
Date :November 2, 1988
Subject :Water Treatment Plant Study - Update
During the last few months we have taken water samples and filter
media samples in an attempt to determine the problems with the
filter plant and an overall course of action for improving filter
effectiveness. SEH is scheduled to present their report at the
November 21st agenda session.
We have already made some changes to our operations and are
reviewing other operations. We super -chlorinated the filters to
clean the media. We have also adjusted the backwash operation to
improve the removal of insoluble material filtered out of the
water. We are also reviewing the permanganite equipment to
insure proper dosage rates for this chemical. The filter beds now
appear more uniform and the backwash water appears dirtier than
previously ( this would mean improvement in iron and manganese
removal). We will be sampling finished water again to confirm the
effectiveness of the filters.
The long term outlook for this plant must also address the
capacity restriction of our filtering system. Although we rarely
operate wells 1,2, and 3 together; when we do we have to bypass
filtering of one of the wells. The plant capacity is only 2000
gallons per minute: The wells each put out 1000 gallons per
minute. Additionally, we will need to consider the operation of
well 4. Currently we have no iron or manganese removal from water
produced by well 4. 1 have asked SEH to include information
regarding this long term outlook in their report.

Memo To :Mayor and City Council Members
From :Ric Minetor, ilirector of Public Works/City Engineer
Date :November 2, 1988
Subject :School Speed Zones - Update
I have received information from the Minnesota Department of Al
Transportation regarding establishment of school speed zones. To
establish a school speed zone, a traffic and enainperina
investigation is required. This investigation consists of
preparing a school route plan and conducting a school zone hazard
evaluation.
The school route plan should be prepared jointly by school and IL
traffic officials. The main objective of the plan is to minimize
the number of street crossings and maximize the safety of the
street crossings designaced on the plan.
The hazard evaluation needs to address and review roadway
information, traffic volumes, pedestrian volumes, parking and/or
loading zones, traffic control devices, sidewalks, fencing,
accident history, and current speed zones.
I will have a copy of the "GUIDE" at the november 7th agenda
session for further discussion.

It is our opinion that the future amenity of a library is only
advantageous if it does not negate a current City amenity, namely, ^
City Hall Park. To swap one popular amenity for another, we `
believe, is not in the best interest of the citizens.
A library is truly a favorable amenity and cooperative leisure
recreational programming potential is exciting. For thin reason, we
favor the site of Long Lake Road and Highway 10. We, therefore,
encourage the Council to urge the Library Board to successfully
negotiate for the Phillips 66 location for the future Ramsey County
Library.

Peter Lazowi, 7971 Woodlawn, stated he has a one acre
lot and would like to be able to build a larger
garage without going through this process, frustration at not being able He expressed
to park his car in his
driveway to sell. He added he uas no problem with
this proposal.
Mark Barenz, 7953 Woodlawn Drive, stated he is in
favor Gf larger garages and would like to see the City
consider allowing other out buildings to remain on
large :ots when an oversized garage is built.
.Mayor Linke explained one acre lotm are not the norm
in the City, and they must look at the City overall.
He added that the 1,000 s.f. allowance has loosened
re3trictions overall.
Mr. Barenz asked if the condition could be based Ln
the size of the lot. Mayor Links replied they have
had several subdivisions this 'summer and there are
problems no matter how this is approached.
Councilmember Hankner stated Mr. Barenz has a valid
Point, and the City could think about that in the
future. She asked how long ago the previous ordinance
had gone into effect.
Clerk/Administrator Pauley responded that it was some
time in the mid 701s.'
Attorney Karey advised the present ordnance ie
similar to that in most other cities.

tKathy Ayaz, 7751 Bona Road, asked that Item A be
o removed for questions.
Motion/Second: Quick/Wuori to approve the consent
agenda, minus Item A, and waive the reading of the
resolutions.
5 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried
Ms. Ayaz stated she had not heard anything about any
type. of wetland alteration permit from the Planning
Commission or Environmental Quality Review Board and
questioned why she hadn't heard anything. Slie added
s0e felt scheduling a public hearing was rushing things.
City Planner Herman explained the proposal was presented
to the Planning Commission at their October 5 meeting,
at their agenda session following adjournment of the
regular meeting. She noted that it was announced
during the regular meeting that the presentatior.
would be following, as well as it was listed on the
agenda. She advised the Pladning Commission is in the
process of reviewing it and it is on their agenda for
their October 19 meeting.
Ms. Ayaz stated that would be five days prior to the
®public hearing, which she did not feel wqs adequate
time to study the proposal. She also asked if it
would be going to the Environmental Quality Review
Board.
Clerk/Administrator Pauley stated the City does not
have a review board, but they do have an Environmental
Quality Task Force, and issues are presented to them
at the direction of the Council.
Councilmember Hankner puinted out that having a
public hearing is one ray gather early comments
f-nn the residents and bri.., any questions or issues
ch. She added they woL.d noL have to take any
action at that hearing and could continue it.
Ms. Ayaz stated it would be hard to educate them-
selves in five days.
Clerk/Administrator Pauley explained the deve.�p_r
was present and Staff has requested them to make a
presentation tonight of the entire project in
detail.
Sandy Krough, 7827 Bona Road, asked if it had been
sent to the Environmental nuality Task Force.
Mayor Linke replied it had not.

Regular MeetingPage --------------------------------------------- Four
--------------- --------------
Councilmember Hankner explained the Task Force has only �^
met on two occasions so far, both of which were organi-
zational meetings. She added they will be meeting
this Tuesday evening, but they are not geared up at
this point to do a substantive review. She further
explained the City Council and Planning Commission
will be reviewing it together. She also pointed out
that if the process is too spread out, by the time the
public hearing is reached, they are just hearing about
issues that should have surfaced earlier.
Jim Sandidge, 7817 Bona Road, reviewed what he thought
was the process of events, which he did not believe the
City was following this time.
City Planner Herman again explained the proposal had
been presented to the Planning Commission on October 5
and was listed on their. agenda.
Mr. Sandidge stated he was concerned another wetland
issue is being jumped into very quickly and there seems
to be an awful rush on this.' He added they are not
getting information on it.
Councilmember Hankner noted that no matter how much time
is allowed, the Council is still accused of not giving
the public enough information or time..
Ms- Ayaz stated she felt the agenda for tonight was very
confusing as she did not see the correlation batween
setting the public hearing and receiving the EAW.
Ms. Krough stated she thought the Environmental Quality
Task Force was set up to give expertise to the Council.
She stated they should have tt s infurmation way in
advance to study. She also asked if a resident could
request something for the Task Force to do. She also
noted Barr Engineering had been paid to do a study of
the wetland ordincnce, in which they suggested the City
categorize the wetlands, and she urged the Task Force
do that and make it a top priority.
Councilmember Hankner explained there are a set number
of days in which a request must be dealt with, and not
everyone on the Task Force has the expertise to deal
with this. They are working, though, to bring them up
to that level.
City Planner Herman clarified the time limit is 120 days
from the time application is made with the City.
Councilmember Hankner explained this is a way to deal
with the questicns now, and they need them at the l
beginning, not at the hearing.

Mayor Links also stated they need to get the informa-
tion and questions up front, and once everything is
presented, the wheels can start going on what the
questions are. He added this process will help
everyone.
Mr. Sandidge stated the residents need time to get
the information and review it, and it was only due
to an error on the part of Staff in issuina the
public notice that they had additional time with the
last -wetlands proposal. He stated he has been moni-
toring the Planning Commission and City Council
.agendas and meetings.
Mayor Linke noted the residents could not get any
earlier notice than what they are getting now.
Councilmember Quick stated they have consistently
stalled public hearings 'to allow the constituents to
come forth and make their complaints, and they could
do so again.
Ms. Ayaz asked for reassurance that if any questions
or problems come up, that no action would be taken at
the public hearing.
Councilmember Hankner replied that was reasonable to
t / expect that.
Councilmember Blanchard stated she has questions also
and does not plan on making a decision at the public
hearing. It will be used as an ooportnnity to get
input from the developer, residents and Council.
Councilmember Hankner asked what control the Council
has over the EAW. Clerk/Administrator Pauley replied
the Council has total control as long as they are in
compliance with governing rules.

City Planner Herman reported the Environmental 11.
Assessment Worksheet was received by the City last
Friday. She added the developer, potential owner
and consultant were in attendance to make a presen-
tation tonight.
Philip Seipp, President -of Sysco/Continental Minne-
sota, explained their company is in the business of
food service distvibutior., and he reviewed their
operaticn. Products are received in during the
day, loaded onto the docks at'night and shipped out•
the next day. They have outgrown their present
facility and anticipate the proposal of 240,000 s.f.
would handle their needs for the next five years.
The plan will be designed for expansion for future
needs.
Mr. Seipp stated it is very important to them that
the reuidents see this as a desirable and appropriate
use of land, and it be a harmonious relationship.
They expect to employ 300 people by the time they move
into the new facility, with eventual growth to 500.
Mr. Seipp stated they would be very willing to have
a public informational meeting before the public
hearing, to meet with the public r.nd hear and address
their questions and concerns.
Scott Kinkade, of Ryan Construction Company, gave a
brief overview of the design. 209,000 s.f. would be
warehouse space, with 35,000 s.f. of office space.
The layout on the property has been planned to minimize
the impact on the wetland and be appealing in appearance.
Mr. Kinkade reviewed the lighting, signage, driveway
layout and material plans. He stated their goal for
occupancy is November 1989, which is driven by a number
of concerns, with one of those being the need to begin
grading before a hard freeze.
Dick Koppy, of :destwood Professional Services, Inc.,
reviewed the storm drainage plans and preliminary
landscaping plans. He explained 90 percent of all
the water from the site will drain directly into the
pond they are proposing in the upland area, not the
existing wetland area. Mr. Koppy reviewed the
alternatives for providing water services to the site,
as well as the plans for sanitary sewer and site
lighting.

years, at which time they would then expand to
accomodate future growth.
Ms. Weisman inquired how old the pipeline is that
is in place. Mayor Linke replied it is from 1957,
and the City is going to CourL on it on January 1.
Clerk/Administrator Pauley added that indications
from Williams are that they feel the pipeline is
acceptable and if they are required to replace it,
it would be left in the same location, just maybe
lower•.
Ms. Weisman asked what the comparison was with
the Type 2 and 7 wetlands between the Corps of
Engineers and City's bouhdaries.
Mr. Koppe explained they are different, and both
bodies do approach it differently. He stated they
are attempting to keep out of'the City's bcundary
with the exception of the .7 acre.
Ms. Weisman asked what the advantage of a PUD would
be versus the alternatives.
Mayor Linke explained the advantages, stating that
since thev are working with both the pipeline and
the wetlands, this would allow them some flexibility.
Clerk/Administrator Pauley reported the Mounds View
Business Park and Kraus Anderson development of manor
homes and commercial area long Highway 10 are all:
PUD's, and he reviewed the PUD process and the
benefits it provides to both the City and the
develuper.
Ms. Weisman challenged the City to stay firm with
one set of boundaries for the wetlands and suggested
having the Environmental Quality Task Force address
that. She also stated a lot of information needs to
be absorbed and she is concerned with the pressure
with the time element. She added the developer should
have acted quicker.
Mr. Seipp replied he could understand her concerns.
He explained, however, that they began their process of
looking for land to develop three years ago and had
approval from their Board of Directors one year agc,
but the company was then put up for sale and all pro—
jects were put on hold for seven months. He added that
has created a major problem for them with the time
element. He also reiterated it would be their intent to
hold whatever meetings are necessary to answer any
questions and address any concerns.

wetlands and will be meeting the conditions of both

Clerk/Administrator Pauley advised Staff would
publicize the meeting to the best of their
ability. It will be caole cast, and word of mouth
would be very helpful also. He also assured
Ms. Ayaz that a packet of all available information
would be personally delivered to her home first
thing in the morning, so that she could begin her
review.
Clerk/Administrator Pauley reported the Council had 12
previously authorized Staff to begin negotiations
with the owner of 8100 Groveland Road for the
purchase of his property. He stated the City's
appraiser has placed the value at $38,000 for the
entire parcel, but Mr. Hurley, attorney for the
owner, Julian Johnson, has untcr cffer.d at
$45,000, which is not negotiable. fie stated funds
would be available from the Silver Lake Woods
account.
Attorney Karney advised the costs of condemna-
tion could be quite high and he would not
recommend that alternative. He added the costs

could well exceed the $7,000.00 difference between the
City's appraisal and Mr. Johnson's price.
Mr. Frits stated he had spoken against the project
wher. it came up some months ago, and he does not
feel the city of Mounds View should be in the real
estate business. He added this road may or may not
occur in the future, and where the money comes from
now is inconsequential as it comes from the packet
of the taxpayers one way or the other. He added he
objects strongly and feels a shotgun is being held
to the City's head. He suggested going ahead and
.letting Mr. Johnson develop the property.
Roy Droel, 8080 Groveland Road, stated he does not like
the idea of an easement,'as they will be buying too
much land. He stated there are other layouts that
would work better. He also stated the City does not
take care of easements they have now.
Counciimember Blanchard read a letter given her by
Mr. Droel, stating his position, and requested that
it be attached to the minutes.
Don Gross, 8060 Groveland Road, asked who would pay
for the assessment when the road is put in, if it
ever is.
Mayor Linke replied the benefited properties would
pay.
Mr. Cross pointed out that for those who do not want
to sell off their property, they would still have to
come up with the money somehow.
Mayor Linke stated the Council has taken the stance
that they will not go ahead on the road unless 100
percent of the property owners are in favor of it.
Mr. Gross questioned why the City would eve^ buy iL
then, as fie and Roy Droel would never agree to it,
and they would not have their 100 percent. He
suggested giving Mr. Johnson the permit to build
rather than pay the price he has stated.
Ms. Weisman stated she would rather see the City go
through condemnation proceedings than give Mr. Johnson
more than fair market value. She added she would
rather give the money to an attorney to prove him wrong.
Attorney Karney stated he did not believe an appraisal
was done by Mr. Johnson. If the City were to proceed
with condemnation, the City would be required to place
the $38,000 with the Court up front, and the Court
could possibly approve the $45,000 figure, and he
reviewed the process to be followed.

Mr. Hurley explained they did not have an appraisal
done, due to the cost, and he explained how they
arrived at the $45,000 figure, taking the $38,000
value of the front lot, and adding $7,000 for the
rear. He added the process has been on -going for so
long and he and his client would like it to be
resolved now. He also showed on the map the other
parcel Mr. Johnson owns.

chase of 8100 Groveland Road for the price of $45,000,

but not the non -negotiation process.

negotiate $1,000 but no more than that.
