Planned Unit Development There were no questions or comments from the audience and Mayor Hankner closed the public hearing ,_ad reopened the regular meeting at 7:25 PM. Mayor Hankner asked the status of the Woodale Drive extension, and whether the residents of the area are being kept informed. Tim Nelson, of Everest Development, explained an informational mailing was sent out last Friday, setting out the schedule for the work to be done in that area. Recipients were those provided on the list from the City, of those who had been notified of the public hearings. Woodale Drive will be kept open during construction, and it is scheduled to be completed by mid -November, the complete length from Edgewood to Highway 10. Mayor Hankner stated she had been to the site and it is very close to the ball field at Edgewood. Mounds View City Council Regular Meeting Councilmember Peons stated he estimates it will be 12 feet from the curb to the backstop. Mayor Hankner closed the regular meeting and opened the next public heaLIng at 7:27 PM. Ms. Hren explained Pioneer Schwinn has requested a modification to the moratorium district and a wetland mit in order to construct a building alteration per at 2261 County Road I, which will house both a Pioneer Schwinn shop and an electronics business. Harr Engineering has checked the site, and the area, which was filled around 1981, is no longer considered a wetland. The north 90 feet of the property is in the buffer zone, and half of the property is in the moratorium district. Staff has drafted a resolution approving the project, as directed by the Council. Ms. Hren noted the driveway will be Pulled back a short way toward County Road I. The Planning Commission has reviewed the request and recommends approval to the Council of a wetland alteration permit and waiver of. the Highway 10 moratorium district requirements. Mayor Hankner reviewed the history of that area, and further explained all criteria is being met. David Jones stated he owns the property to the north of this parcel and questioned how far Mounds View Drive will be coming in, and if the road is developed in the future, who would have to pay for it. Ms. Hren explained the road will go just to the driveway and not all the way to the end of the property 'line. She further reviewed the options for assessment of the road if it is completed. Clark/Administrator Pauley further explained the history of the road and how the assessments could be handled if the road was extended in the future. Rich Wolens, owner of Pioneer Schwinn, stated he is paying off the special assessments levied against the property and included in the purchase price of the property. Councilmember Quick questioned whether the road is proposed to go through in the Comp Plan. Pauley replied it is not planned, and there is a St. Paul Waterworks easement to the north and any improvements would require their approval, and it October 9, 1989 Page Three 8. Public Hearing: Request of Pioneer Schwinn for Wetland Alteration Permit and Waiver of Highway 10 Moratorium Requirements Mounds View City Council Regular Meeting has been very difficult in the past to get that approval. They would have final say on the road going through, and they would be a major obstacle. Mayor Hankner closed the public hearing and reopened the regular meeting at 7:37 PM. Mayor Hankner closed the regular meeting and opened the next public hearing at 7:37 PM. Ms. Hren explained Paster Enterprises has requested rezoning of a portion of their property at Mounds View Square from B-4 to B-3, to allow for a con- venience food restaurant, which is a conditional use in a B-3 district. The applicant has applied for a CUP for a convenience food restaurant and drive - through. They have also requested a PUD for the entire Mounds View Square shopping center. If the Council chooses not to rezone the property, the other items could not go forward, so the rezoning must be addressed first. It is important that the surrounding zoning and uses of the property be taken into consideration in a rezoning. Paster Enterprises is proposing that only the pad of the building be rezoned, not the entire parcel. The Council must also consider other uses that could go into that location, should the restaurant leave at some time in the future. The Planning Commission has reviewed the request and recommends approval to the Council of the rezoning from B-4 to B-3. Ms. Hren reviewed the requirements of a CUP and PUD. The applicant will be able to meet the zoning requirements with the exception of 34 parking spaces, however, the PUD would waive that. 503 spaces in total would be provided at the shopping center. The site does need work, specifically with asthetics, and this is the opportunity for the City to speak up and address that. Landscaping has been an issue which has been discussed many times. Both the Planning Commission and Council have said they would like the landscaping enhanced. A section has been added to the development agreement stipulating that whatever is put in must be maintained and replaced as necessary. The Planning Commission also recommends to the Council conceptual stage approval of both the CUP and PUD. October 9, 1989 Page Four 9. Public Hearing: Request of Paster Enter- prises for a Partial Rezoning from B-4 to B-3, a Condi- tional Use Permit and Planned Unit Development F Mounds View City Council Regular Meeting Paul Mielke, 516 Brighton Lane, asked for a clarifica- tion of how much property will be rezoned to B-3. It was answered that only the pad of the building will be rezoned. Doug Sinclair, of Tenant Services, Inc., a consultant to Ed Paster, presented sketches of the layout of the proposed development. He explained they had a traffic planner study the shopping center and they feel there will be minimal impact of new trips generated by Hardees. They will. be providing 503 parking stalls, whereas 537 are required by Code, yet their study shows the need or demand to be for 450 spaces total. Jim Everson, of Paster Enterprises, explained he had been working with the landscaping and he presented revised landscaping plans to the Council and reviewed sketches of the proposed landscaping and the changes made based on input from the Council and Planning Commission. He stated he feels the proposed plan will work for both the City and the developer. Councilmember Paone questioned if there would be an increased traffic hazard with the traffic leaving the center and Hardees and going onto County Road I and then onto Highway 10. Mark Thompson, of Benshue s Associates, explained he was the traffic engineer that had done the study, and he explained how the traffic projections and calcula- tions were made. He pointed out County Road I has a good deal of excess capacity and they don't anticipate any problems with increased traffic from Hardees. He also explained the traffic flow planned for the drive through facility, and routing back out. Mr. Everson reviewed the areas of the shopping center that are presently sprinkled. Councilmember Quick noted they would like the islands sprinkled also, to maintain the plantings there. Mayor Hankner closed the public hearing and reopened the regular meeting at 8:06 PM. Mayor Hankner reiterated that whenever a resident receives a notice from the City that they don't understand, they should call her, and she will get back to them herself or have Staff assist in clarifying the matter.

Ms. Hren explained she had reviewed the records and did not find that Tyson Trucking had paid a park dedication fee. The way the ordinance is set up, a fee is required to be paid if a new lot is created. This proposal, however, does not create a new lot. Mr. Pauley reviewed the history of the development of this property. He stated it was possible the original developer paid the fee when the lot was platted. Staff will research the question further. 0 Mounds view City Council Regular Meeting _---- October 9, 1989 Page Seven rove the second 12• ^.Motion/Second: Paone/Blanchard to appdopting adoption of Ordinance No • 470, a reading term financial plan, and waive the the 1989 long reading.

During my recent attendance at the ICMA Conference in Des Moines I attended a session on City Council agendas and conducting City Council meetings where various formats for City Council agendas were presented. As a result of the information. I gathered at that meeting 1 would like to propose a modification to our agendas which I hope would organize them in a more efficient manner and prove the convenience of use for members of the City Council and the public and clear up some organizational difficulties we have had with respect to placing special items on the agenda in the past. Attached to this memorandum please find a copy of how the October 9, 1989 agenda would have appeared under the proposed new format with explanations where appropriate.

ADJOURNMENT: FWA MEMO TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL ^ FROM: CLERK -ADMINISTRATOR _ 1 DATE: OCTOBER 9, 1989 SUBJECT: SERVICE AWARDS As you know, the City currently provides a pin to each employee after having worked for the City 5, 10, 15 and 25 years. Although these pins are appreciated by staff and worn by many with great pride, I have continued to look for other forms of recognition or appreciation for employees continuing service with the City. Recently I was approached by a salesman handling what is known as the "Amagift Albums". These albums are essentially a catalog of gifts that can be ordered by an individual who has received a gift certificate from someone. While employed in the private sector my employers used this type of a system to recognize employees for service as well as for Christmas gifts and it is my understanding that several cities in the Metropolitan Area, including Richfield, provide these gifts to their employees as awards for anniversaries recognizing length of service. The gift certificates and albums range from a price of $9.99 to $5UO per gift item. Although I am not suggesting that this be the system the City uses to recognize length of service by our employees besides the City pin, I thought that the Council would be interested in looking at it and considering the possibility of such an award. Should the Council decide to do some- thing like this and place a value of say S10.00, $15.00, $20.00, $25.OU, $30.00 and $40.00 for 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 years of service respectively between now and the year 2000 the cost to the City would average $150.00 per year with the highest year being 1997 at $285.UO. I will bring the Amagift Album to the October 16 Agenda Session and simply request that we discuss the philosophy of providing an award to employees for length of service besides the current practice of providing service pins and, if it is your desire to look into this matter, direction regarding dollar value and type of gifts you would he interested in providing. DFP/MJS kd lf�,72) 7 MEMO TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL FROM: MARY SAARION, DIRECTOR PARKS, RECREATION AND FORESTRY DATE: OCTOBER 31, 1989 SUBJECT: ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES FOR DISPLAYING FIREWORKS AT LAKESIDE PARK Staff prepared a memo for the Parks and Recreation Commission regarding the advantages and disadvantages of moving fireworks om City Hall to Lakeside Park for the annual "Festival in the Park" celebration. Since the Parks and Recreation Commission is designated by the City Council as the advisory commission of the "Festival in the Park" celebration, their input was requested. After much discussion and brainstorming of possibilities and potential problems, the Parks and Recreation Commission agreed upon a motion. Gary Stevenson made the motion to direct staff to request the City Council to consider moving the Festival in the Park" celebration from City Hall Park to Silver View Park in 1990 and to consider the possibility of having the fireworks display at Lakeside Park and to consider changing the Festival from a Sunday event to a Santrday event to be held in September, 1990 for these reasons: 1. Holding the Festival at Silver View could be the community kick-off of the new shelter building, as the required Celebrate 1990 event stipulated in the Celebrate MN grant. 2. If the fireworks were held at Lakeside Park, Silver View Park would be within walking distance, and is located on the same side of Highway 10. 3. Fireworks at Lakeside Park would be within the recommended safety distance from buildings and could provide a mirrored effect over the water with more visible ground displays. 4. The Saturday event may reduce the number of Sunday conflicts including church services, Vikings game and school night bedtimes. The motion was seconded by Commissioner David Long. The motion passed unanimously. With the Park and Recreation Commissioners' direction, staff is bringing this idea to the City Council for discussion and direction. MS/SL MEMO TO: PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION FROM: MARY SAARION, DIRECTOR PARKS, RECREATION AND FORESTRY DATE: OCTOBER 18, 1989 SUBJECT: SUGGESTIONS FOR 1990 FESTIVAL Attached to this memo is information given to the City Council at the October 16 agenda session. Representatives from Northern Lighter Pyrotechnics offered information regarding optional locations for fireworks. As you can see by their letter to Mayor Hankner, their greatest disadvantage at the City Hall location is lack of space for both safety factors and fireworks display flerdbility. Of the many places visited in the City, the representatives selected Lakeside Park as at, ideal place for the fireworks display. They recommended shooting the ground displays on the beach and aerials from the grassy area, overshooting the lake. Spectators would view the show from the south side of the lake, along the shore. There are advantages and disadvantages with this site. ADVANTAGES 1. Lakeside Park is already fenced and therefore entries can be easily closed and I e secured to secure the fireworks launching areas. 2. The aesthetic pleasure of the mirrored effect that the lake would present on an aerial and group display would add a special touch. 3. The distance away from homes meets the fireworks regulations. 4. Because of the safety zone distance, fireworks of greater flair and height and show could be used. DISADVANTAGES 1. The fireworks display would be held at a different location than the other Festival activities requiring participants to "up and move". Rather than parking lot space, people would park along residential streets and walk into the spectator area. 3. Food concessionaires would need to move from the Festival activity site to the fireworks location. • 4. Since Lakeside Park is a joint venture with the City of Spring Lake Park, permission would need to be granted for such use. Also, since a portion of the spectator's area is a park belonging to the city of Fridley, a request for use would be proper. •2. A few other thoughts to consider is: A The oppormnirl to hold this `reworks display as a joint city junction, splitting 1 the cost and benefiting more people. Would the concessionaires opt to follow the crowd and continue sales at the Spring lake site. Are food concessions needed during fireworks? Could community groups make better profits by selling snacks to the crowd, i.e. candy, popcorn and pop? Perhaps fireworks could be the "announcement" of "Festival" the night before rather than the end finale on "Festival" day. The Park and Recreation Commission is the designated advisory board for "Festival in the Park". Staff has been directed to come to the City Council with information regarding advantages and disadvantages to an optional fireworks display location. Staff requests recommendations from the Parks and Pecreaiioii Corarnission regarding the 1990 "Festival in the Park". i will be arudous to hear your thoughts and ideas at the meeting on October 24, 1989. MS/SL d.J MEMO TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL FROM: MARY SAARION, DIRECTOR PARKS, RECREATION AND FORESTRY DATE: OCTOBER 3, 1989 SUBJECT: FIREWORKS FOR FESTIVAL IN THE PARK At the agenda session. on Monday, October 16, representatives from Northern Lighter Pyrotechnics will be present to discuss with the Council their concerns regarding the current location of the Festival fireworks display. They wish to discuss possible options and alternatives for future fireworks displays. Please see their letter attached.

During the September Parks and Recreation Commission meeting, Commissioners reviewed Joanne Valley's letter regarding the Festival. FEEDBACK Commissioner's Long and Silvis participated as volunteer workers at the Festival. They expressed their pleasure regarding the number of community organizations participating in the events. One of the reasons for changing the date to September was to encourage participation by school groups, church groups and organizations. Commissioners reported that they had good feedback regarding the Festival. DATE The Festival date is determined by the availability of the showmobile. Although the preferred date was September 10, the alternate date of September 17 was approved because of the availability of the showmobile. In retrospect, the September 17 date was probably more advantageous than September 10 because it gave school groups more time to organize considering that the first day of school was September 5. COMMUNITY GROUP PARTICIPATION Fifteen (15) community groups participated in the 1989 Festival. They included: Sunnyside PTA Pinewood PTA IHS Cheerleaders Cross of Glory Church Mounds View Lioness Club New Brighron Firstar Bank of Mounds View Fire Department Robot Display Early Childhood Family Education Mounds View Lion's Club IFS Girls Volleyball Booster Club IHS Hockey Moms Lindy's Gymnastics Club bIV Community Theater Explorer Post Volunteers Boy Scout Troop 400 -2- /'1 PUBLIC CIY r (r A standard publicity program is implemented for "Festival in the Park". A Est of marketing procedures is as follows: Flyers to schools (1,500) Public Service Announcements to radio and newspapers (25) Flyers to ball teals (60) Flyers to volleyball teams (30) Letters to food concessionaires (15) Letters to crafters (150) Letters to merchants with posters (160) . Posts in local community facilities; i.e. Edgewood Community Center, Bel Rae, church, schools - Articles to local newspapers: Focus and Bulletin - Publicize in two City Newsletters reaching every residence in Mounds View - Post on City sign Listing on Charnel 16 cable P/ Interview opportunities: MNO Radio Years ago, the Festival Commission made a practice of nailing up posters on telephone poles. This practice was discontinued in an effort to discourage the unsightliness of telephone poles littered with signs throughour the Cry. Also, the telephone companies do not encourage such practices. -3- r'+ CONFLICTS The July Festival date always seemed to conflict with the Aquatennial and other City festivals, and family vacations. The September Festival conflicted with church carnivals and the Vikings football game. This metropolitan afea is besieged by various festivals, events, bazaars, parades, etc. held on various weekends and special dates. Conflicts will arise on any given date. RFCONIMFNDATION FOR 1990 If Council agrees that the "Festival in the Park" should continue to be held it•. September, staff recommends that the chosen date be a Saturday rather than a Sunday for three reasons: The "Festival" would not be competing with a televised Viking game. 2. The "Festival" would not interfere with church or Sunday School services. 3. Fireworks would be held on a non -school night, allowing children to stay up longer for the fireworks display. Staff wishes to discuss this recommendation at the October 16 agenda session to get a feel for Councils desires for the 1990 "Festival in the Park".

NAME OF FIRM BY TITLE ADDRESS DATE MEMO TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: CLERK -ADMINISTRATOR DATE: OCTOBER 26, 1989 SUBJECT: COMMUNITY CENTER Pursuant to your direction at the October 9th Council Meeting, I have conducted some very basic research regarding community centers in general as background information on this matter. The issues I identified during my research can be broken down into four areas as listed below: 1. Site - The location of a community center in the City of Mounds View would be dependent upon two factors. The first being the size of the site needed to handle the proposed size of the community center. The second factor would be the desire, or lack thereof, to interconnect the community center with other city facilities such as City Hall or tied in with a city park. The decision regarding location could be more accurately addressed once the Council has decided whether or not they wish to pursue the matter of a community center, the types of facilities they would like to see in the community center and services provided. This would allow us to determine the size of the facility and, therefore, site and the advisability of inter- connecting it with the City Hall or other city facilities. 2. Construction Costs - At the current time the cities of Crystal, Plymouth and Shoreview are constructing community centers. The cities of New Brighton, Maple Grove, Vadnais Heights, Eagan and Minnetonka are investigating the construction of community centers. As part of my research I contacted most of these cities to determine the size of building they intended to construction, the facilities and services available within the building, and construction costs for the building. Based upon this information it is clear, that at the current time, the construction of a community center costs between $100 and $110 per square foot including furnishings. This amount stayed the same whether or not a pool was included in the plans for the community center as is evidenced by the Plymouth facility which will cost $100 per square foot and includes a pool and the Crystal facility at $107.14 per square foot not including a pool. 3. Study Committee - In each of these cities a special - committee was appointed by the City Council to study MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL PAGE TWO OCTOBER 26, 1989 the issue of a community center. This committee included members of the City Council, Parks and Recreation Commission, Planning Commission, and general citizenry, particularly individuals from the general public who would be using the facilities. 4. Survey -• Every one of the cities previously mentioned used Decision Resources Ltd. as the agency to perform a survey within their community on a community center. Attached for your information is a copy of the Maple Grove survey which Dr. Morris of Decision Resources felt was the best example of the kind of survey being done in the metropolitan area on this subject matter. You will note that the survey includes questions regarding the desire for a community center, the types of facilities and services desired in a community center, and the willingness of the surveyed individual to pay additional property taxes for the community center. �. I hope that the above information adequately responds to many of the questions and concerns you might have regarding this matter. If not, I will be happy to provide whatever other information is necessary upon your request.

The entire corridor has been acquired with the exception Of a 1 mile segment which passes through the Twin City Arms Plant, owned by the US. Department of Defense. Portions of the trail have been developed for recreational use. The overall development concept includes land trails for multiple -use as well as canoeing on Rice Creek. The segment through the Twin City Arms Plant is the 'ss' in the entire 14 mile owridor. Since Rice Creek is in integral part of the trail corridor project, no reasonable alternative exists for the completion of the trail. Ramsey County has attempted over the years to secure access through the Arms Plant site; however, the Department of Defense has been unwilling to give serious consideration to their request. This is a case where several local units of government, two counties, and a regional authority (metropolitan Council) have been unable to implement a reasonable plan because of an apparent unwillingness of the Federal Government to seriously consider alternatives. The Friends of St. Paul and Ramsey County Parks would like to secure resolutions from all of the municipalities involved, and both counties, i% Mary Saarion Page Two stressing the importance of this :ink for the completion of the trail corridor. We would then in turn send these resolutions to Senators Rudy Boschwitz and David Durenberger, and Representatives Bruce Vento and Gerry Sikorski to enlist their aid in negotiations with the federal government. I am enclosing the resolution passed by Ramsey County regarding this matter. Please forward the resolution from Mounds View to me, and 1 will in turn send all of the resolutions together to our federal delegation. I will keep you informed regarding any correspondence I receive regarding this matter. Thank you.
