Residents comments and concerns regarding the drainage ditch requests anti that was cleaned in the area of the proposed Harstad Comments from development, and asked whether a cost benefit study the Floor had been done prior to that work. She also asked if anything had been done to find the file of comments from the Planning Commission regarding sections of the City Code to be worked on, which had been compiled by Steve Thatcher when he worked for the City, but had not been located since he had left. ( ` Mayor Linke explained the ditgb_in question is the final outlet that serves 200 acres of the drainace basin, and if the ditch was filled, there would be massive drainage problems in the area. He added that the Rice Creek Watershed District had agreed the ditch needed to be cleaned, and it was difficult to determine a cost benefit, ai.d if it was not c.Leaned, what that damage cost would be. He stated he felt the sum spent to :lean the ditch was small and helped the whole drainage area. Mayo- Linke stated that the Council had not heard about the missing documents, but he added that in any business documents do get lost, and the City has implemented policies to have better control over documents at City Hall. He added it is time to let bygones be bygones. Steve Thatcher stated that when he left, the files on comprehensive land use and rezoning were left in both the left and right drawers of his desk. Mayor Linke noted there had been a four to five month period between Mr. Thatcher's employment with the City and the hiring of Ms. Herman, and that many people were in that office during the interim.

He added that everything is in order now and outlined the steps for the Council to follow to approve the project: Motion/Second: Quick/Wuori to approve the conEract for private redevelopment for the Mounds View Business Park. 4 ayes 0 nays Motion/Second: Blanchard/Quick to approve Development Agreement No. 87-81, for the Mounds View Business Parx. 4 ayes 0 nays Motion/Second: Wuori/Quick to approve Resolution No. 2273, providing the issuance and public sale of $6,o00,000 taxable general obligation tax increment bonds, Series 1988A, of the City of Mounds View, Minnesota, and waive the reading. 4 ayes 0 nays Motion/Second: Quick/Blanchard to table consideration of tiie bids for public improvements for the Mounds View Business Park to January 11, 1987, 4 ayes 0 nays Clerk/Administrator Pauley reported Councilmember Hankner had requested that a statement be read into the minutes, in her absence, regarding the wetlands alteration permit and preliminary plat for Greenfield Estates, and he read the statement: "Although I am not able to be in attendance, I want it noted in the minutes that I would vote "no" on the Greenfield Estates project. After much study and review by Barr Engineering I have been presented with information or evidence that indicates that the December 14, 1987 Page Three 7. Approval of Consent Agenda Motion Carriec 8. Consideration of Final Actions on Mounds View Business Park Motion Carrier Motion Motion Motion Carr 9. Consideration of Wetland Alteration Permit and Preliminary Plat for Greenfield Estates Mounds View City Council Regular Meeting ------------------------ proposal is not in compliance with the City's Wetland Ordinance. The boundary of the wetland is not accurate on the developer's plat. Of great importance and concern to me is the fact thst the Army Corp of Engineers permit has been rescinded. Given these concerns and other questions raised by Barr, I don't think that the Council can possibly approve this proposal.as it is before us today. I urge other members of this Council to vote "no".$' Jim Senden, representing the Harstad Company on the Greenfield Estates project,- reviewed the history of the project over the past year, stating they have granted the City extensions twice, and that on November 16, the C.ity's consultant presented a verbal report regarding the project and requesting the Harstad Company to do additional studies and make changes to the preliminary plat. He stated this was done, as requested, at a cost to the Harstad Company, and was presented to the City or. December 4. He further stated that on December 7, the Council considered the revised documents and decided additional time was needed to study the changes, and at that time, Barr Engineering presented a partial report, and the Council felt then, and Harstad Company agreed, that more time was needed to study some of the changes. Mr. Senden stated they acknowledge that some of'the changes were necessary due to some errors made in the original ^zlculations, and he requested a 30 day extension of time for the City to consider the new material, stating that it should be presented and fully considered before any action is taken on the matter. Mr. Senden reviewed some of the changes that had been made, and he discussed the impact of the ditch on the property, stating they do not need an outlet or ditch for this development, but they did allow the City an access easement so that the ditch could be cleaned. Mr. Senden explained that one of the items Barr had requested be done was to have the area of the development restaked, which was done, and in the restaking, it was decided some of the boundries would have to be moved in some areas, which would then change the layout. He reviewed those changes that werN subsequently made, due to both the recon- figuration and to meet requests of the area residents. He stated they are still proposing outlots A and B be deeded to the City to offset their variance request. Decenber 14,"i987. Page Pour ----------------- CI Hounds View City Council Regular Meeting ----------------------- ------------------- Mr. Senden stated one of the items Barr had requested additional information on was the phosphorous stripping capacity of the wetland. Steve Thatcher, of Merila and Associates, presented Councilthe he production and tphosphodetailing rousstripping �capacity phosphorous Of the wetland, and he made a lengthy presentation of the data in the report. Mr. Senden stated that in view of the extensive data they have presented, they would like the City to submit it to Barr Engineering for their analysis, and he added they would also like Barr to submit a full report, in writi;ig, as was asked for by the Council originally. He stated that when Harstad Company had agreed to the two extensions, it was with the understanding that Barr would be looking into the concerns expressed by the citizens and Staff, and they would now like an opportunity to review Barr's findings, and have the benefit of an independent consultants review. Mr. Senden requested the Council review and consider the new data, all the changes the developer has made so far, and the Barr Engineering report, before making any decision. He added he would also like additional time to study the Barr report, as well as their responses to what Harstad Company has done to meet their requests. Mr. Senden asked for a 30 da- extension of time, as a period during which Staff and the consultants could review the additional information. Mayor Linke clarified the second extension was asked for so that the Council could address the project and take action at a regular meeting, which would be cable cast, and have minutes taken. He also stated that while Harstad Company has said they would give wetland in exchange for the requested variance, Chapter 48.05, Subd. 4 states the developer is required to give an easement, and he read from the Chapter. Mr. Senden explained they would give a warrantee deed rather than an easement. Mayor Linke stated that while Mr. Senden has requested a 30 day time extension, the Council would need closer to 60 to 90 days to review all the new information, considering the upcoming holidays and schedule. He added there is a great deal of data to review, and the plan has changed considerably over what was originally presented. December 14, 1987 Page Five ----------------- Mounds View City Council December 14,_1987' Regular Meeting Page Six ' ---------------- ------------------------------------- Councilmember Blanchard stated she was very opposed to another extension, as they have told the citizens that a decision would be made this evening on the preliminary plat. She further stated she agreed with Mayor Linke that a 30 day extension was not enough time to review all the new data submitted, and the changes made. She added that Barr Engineering was very rushed to do their initial report in 45 days. Councilmembers QW-k and Wuori stated they both agreed with the comments made by Mayor Linke and Councilmember Blanchard. Councilmember Blanchard asked Mr. Senden if the Army Corps of Engineers had rescinded their approval. Mr. Sendan replied they had, however, they should be able to grant a new approval within 7.0 days. He also pointed out to the Council that very few preliminary plats are submitted that do not change a great deal, and that it is a working process to get everything in order. He also pointed out the final plat can change. Mr. Senden stated that Barr Engineering has all the data, so it should not take them long to submit their findings in writing. Mayor Linke pointed out the preliminary plat has changed considerably and would require time to look at all the changes. Mr. Sende.. stated Barr is familiar with the new plat, and most of the changes were based on recommendations they had made. He added there is no reason to cut this off before everything has been reviewed. Jim Sandidge, 7817 Bona Road, stated none of the citizens have had an opportunity to review the changes made, and he recommended the developer submit a com- pletely new proposal. He emphasized how this proposed development will impact where they live, and the City from itself, and he read a letter received by Mr. Ay az the Ramsey Soil and Water Conservation District, stating they believe they have been misrepresented by the developer., and they have never taken a position or given an approval to this development. Mr. Senden explained their crntact with the Ramsey Soil and Water Conservation nistrict had been on -site, where tney agreed to the staking of the boundries by the Corps of Engineering, and nothing had been submitted to them as their approval was not required. Mayor Linke read a memo from Clerk/Administrator Pauleyto C fromhtheouncil, dated Ramsey CountyDSoilber and9waterarding the Conseletter Conservation District. Mounds View City Council December 14, 198' Regular Meeting Page Seven --------------•-------------------------------------------------------------- Councilmember Blanchard reiterated that she feels there have been substantial changes made to the plat. Mr. Senden asked that the Council be aware the development must take place in winter, when the ground is frozen, and if they are required to start over with the Planning Commission, they will miss a full season of development, and it would be a substantial hardship for the developer, and would deny him the right to develop his property. He pointed out they have responded to all the City's requests, and have snent a good deal of money doing so, and any changes made have actually enhanced their proposal. He stated the Council owes it to the developer to consider what they have done, especially since the Council asked them to do it. Mayor Linke explained there are certain things that cannot be done within the wetland ordinance, and it is up to the Council to decide if what the developer plans on doing goes along with the ordinance, and in order to do that, they have asked for assistance from an outside consultant. He added he can understand the time constraints, but the Council does not want to be hasty or make any bad decisions just for the sake of exoediencv. He stated there have been major changes, and while many were suggested by Staff or the consultant, they must still take the time to review them and make sure they meet the Code. Motion/Second: Blanchard/Wuori to deny the preliminary =.lat and w=tlands alteration permit for Greenfield Estates, b"_ed upon the following grounds, that the Corps of Engineers has rescinded their original permit for the plat, that the plat does not accurately reflect the wetlands boundaries as determined by the consultants and the Corps of Engineers, that the wetland, after development, would not meet the phosphorous stripping requirement of the wtlands ordinance, specifically 48.06, Subd. 3,A,2, and the lot size and frontage for the development does nct meet the minimum lot size and frontage requirements of Chapter 48, specifically 48.05, Subdi 5, A and B. Also, the proposed amendment of the plat, as submitted by the developer, is in the opinion of the Council, to have substantial changes in the plat because the number of lots have changed, the wetland boundaries have been altered, and the addition or change in the size and location of the holding ponds. 4 ayes 0 nays Motion Carrie Mounds View City Council December 14,•1937 Regular Meeting Page Eight -------------- -------------------------------------------------------------- - Councilmember Wuori stated that due to the substantial changes that had been made to the preliminary plat, she l felt it was a much simpler way to go back to square one. She added the information is very technical, and the Council is not engineers, and they need to call on experts for their opinion. Mayor Linke stated the Council is not denying the use of the .land, but they are caught between a rock and a hard spot, and they need to start over and look at the new information, so that when it is presented again, everything should go through smoother and faster, and the ordinance requirements will be mat. Councilmember Quick stated he agreed with the comments made by Councilmember Wuori and Mayor Linke, and he felt the Council must deny the prelimary plat tonight and allow the developer to come back with another proposal.

Mounds View City Council December 14, 1987 Regular Meeting Page Nine Mayor Linke stated no other complaints had been receivea at City :idll regarding Schulties Plumbing. Clerk/Administrator Pauley reported the Better Business Bureau did not have a record of complaints on file either.

Planner Herman reported Kunz Oil Company received a conditional use permit in 1986 for redevelopment of their property at 2901 Highway 10, and the time has run out for that permit, so they have requested an extension. She explained they appeared before the Planning Commission to request a one year extension, and they have made changes to their plan, maialy in upgrading the landscaping, and the Planning Commission recommends approval of a one year extension. She noted that the proposed redevelopment complies with the zoning code and Staff recommends approval. Councilmember Wuori clarified that the sign will be on a pole, and not mounted above the canopy, as shown in the picture presented.

He added it is not right or necessary to have half a dozen people driving around the City issuing citations, and he felt it was putting too much power in the hands of a single individual. Upon questioning by Mr. Frits, Councilmember Quick stated he could recall three citations being issued hsince andledebyaa judge, and helwasnnothey sureould whathave been the outcome of each one was. Mayor Linke clarified that the areas listed in the proposed ordinance are criminal offenses, not administrative offenses. Councilmember Quick pointed out that Mr. Frits is advocating giving all the power to the Police department, and hewould besmuch ay more e comforcomfortable with several people rather than just one body. Cour:ilmember Haekner stated there appeared to be confusion over the items the ordinance would cover, and she reviewed the areas it would cover. She added the Police Chief had met with the Council last week to review the proposed ordinance, and he was comfortable with it.

Adjournment by Mayor Links. Respectfully submitted, Donald F. Pauley Clerk -Administrator DFP/mjs MEMO TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNC[I�L�(�\J� FROM, CLERK-ADMINISTRATO DATE: DECEMBER 23, 1987 SUBJECT: OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER p},nucl Mee4ircl As I indicated at your December 21st Agenda Session, the FOCUS Newspaper published by POST Publications has been acquired and merged with Gannett Publishing of Portland, Maine. This acquisition and merger has resulted in a change of operations of the FOCUS Newspaper and they are now attempting to obtain designation as the City of Mounds View's Official Newspaper for 1988. Attached please find copies of a letter from POST Publications dated December 10, 1987 outlining their proposal and a letter from the New Brighton Bulletin dated December 15, 1987 outlining their proposal for remaining the City's newspaper. Discussions with Mr. Lee Canning, General Manager of POST Publications reveal that the FOCUS Newspaper can provide no guarantees regarding the levels of coverage provided the City of Mounds View for Council Meetings or any other general press coverage. This type of situation is currently the same position the City faces with the New Brighton Bulletin. As of January 1, 1988, Mr. Harvey Rockwood will become the reporter assigned coverage of the City of Mounds View along with several other cities in the area. Again, the City receives no guarantees regarding the level of coverage Mr. Rockwood will provide the City of Mounds View. The publ+cation dates for the FOCUS are not that different from the New Brighton Bulletin and both serve as a weekly newspaper with delivery to all residents in the City of Mounds View, however, in both cases delivery of the newspapers has been spotty. It would appear that the main difference between the FOCUS proposal and that of the New Brighton Bulletin is with respect to the cost of publishing legal notices. The FOCr!S would charge $4.92 per column inch whereas the Bulletin would charge $5.18 per column inch for the initial publication. Due to the fact that the City of Mounds View, except for unusual situations such as the publication of an entire City Zoning Ordinance expends approximately $1500.00 per year in legal notices. This $.26 inch per column inch cost would not appear to be significant enough to be the sole justification for changing Official Newspapers. In view of the above information and the fact that neither publication will guarantee level of coverage nor delivery of their papers, staff has no recommendation regarding the selection of an Official Newspaper for 1988 between these two proposals. Your direction in this matter would be greatly appreciated. DFP/mjs December 10, 1987 City of Mounds View 2401 Highway 10 Mounds View, Minnesota 55432 Dear City Manager: DEC 1987 RfQIVED Qr/ 4F MOUNDS TEW We are pleased to announce that beginning with the December 30, 1987 issue of the Focus Newspaper, Post Publications will coordinate the publishing of legal notices for the City of Mounds View. The only visible change in the Focus Newspaper will be the switch from the MSN logo to the POST logo located in the left corner of the masthead. The changeover from the Minnesota Suburban Newspaper Group to Post Publications was brought about by the acquisition and sub- sequent merger of Post and MSN by the Guy Gannett Publishing Company of Portland, Maine. Because of the location of Post in relation to the Focus, it was decided that Post Publications should be responsible for the publication of the Focus Newspapers. Your designation of the Focus Newspaper to be your official newspaper ;br the year 1988 will be most appreciated. One of our highly qualified reporters is in frequent contact with your city council; therefore we are familiar with the actions that are taken by the City of Mounds View. The new rate structure for legals effective December 30, 1987 will be as follows: 1 Col. width 2 Col. width 3 Col. width First insertion: 4A��ne 86.30 per line 94C per line Subsequent insertion: 16C p r fi a 32� per line 48S per line isgjl We will provide, at no charge 2 notarized affidavits on each of vour publications.

ATTEST: Mayor (SEAL) Clerk -Administrator APPROVED AS TO FORM: City Attorney a MEMO T0: MAYOR AND CITY COUWL FROM: CLERK-ADMINISTRATC k DATE: DECEMBER 15, 1987 SUBJECT: JACKSON DRIVE AND GROBERG STREET INTERSECTION STORM WATER DRAINAGE It was pointed out to me by Gary Kardell that the City might wish to consider the extension of a stoad ImandwJacksoner tDriveut in on the southeast corner of County as part of the County Road I reconstruction to the irtersect;nn of Jackson Drive and Groberg Street. As some of you prcbably know, this intersection frequently becomes flooded during storm events as a result of the poor drainage that currently exists there. This poor, drainage occurs because of the condition of the ditch on the WeSt side of and Jackson Drive between County Road I and Groberg Streetthe overland drainage to the west to the Landmark Estates ponds. As a result of Gary's suggestions, I requested that City Engineer Dan Boxrud look at this mattes and dprovidewith this recommendations regarding possible way dealing issue. Mr. Boxrud suggests that the storm sewer line be extended along the ditch on Jackson Drive with catch basins being placed en the northeast and southeast corners of the Cintersection and a possible catch basin on the southwest corner of the intersection. This would allow the filling of the ditch on Jackson Drive, which has become a significant maintenance problem for the City dueit the the Mweedsgrowth and View the fact that the children residing round area. Also, by Estates apartments use this as a playg eliminating the pending of water in the intersection of Jackson Drive and Groberg Street it would eliminate traffic hazards experienced during winter months with the development of ice in the intersection and hopefully, reduce the deterioration of the pavement that is occurring at this intersection. Mr. oxrd the cost of constrtion be underu$10,�000aand has tsuggested to meeverbally would that this work could be performed by the contractor for County Road I next spring when they return to the site to finish the catch basin work and paving that remains to be done. I have attached a rough drawi.ne to Mr. Boxrud's memorandum to show the approximate drainage area for this intersectiun as well as the locations of cal-ch basins and storm sewer line. Should Co,incil agree with the recommendation that this work could to done; Staff could negotiate a contract with PCI for the work to be completed next spring with the monies coming from the City's Storm Water Management Fund. Your direction in this matter would be appreciated. DFP/mjs Attachments: MWNE50TASSII7 t. EL11 dBd0�12•'.

To make this determination, we have reviewed the following: 1. T'ie construction plan for County Road I. 2.

Ideally, a third catch basin would be installed nthe sside of the street the intersectionnow overflowsthroughtheapbrtm3nt buildinghere parking lot. If a storm sewer system was installed as described, it would �need eed to flow under a "head" in order to convey the i1VW year +' frequency storm. The 10.8 acre drainage area will generate about 9.4 cfs, which will require that the water in the catch basinb at Groberg and Jackson will need to build up to within about a foot of the surface in order to force its way Lhroug.. his should nothbe a"problemplastiC pipe.

I City of Mounds View December 7, 1987 Page 2 In summary, it appears to be a reasonable way of getting rid of the gnisting high maintenance ditch. The storm sewer will adequately convey the five-yaar average frequency storm. Larger storms would continue to overflow to the west through the apartment building driveway and parking lot. We estimate that the construction cost would be under $10,000 allowing for informal quotations from contractors. If you require anything further, please advise.

First, we want to briefly reacquaint you with the services pruvided by the Dispute Resolution Center (DRC) and secondly, we want to advise you of our financial situatic:i for 1988. As perhaps you are aware, the Dispute Resolution Center has been assisting local governments and citizens of Ramsey County resolve a wide variety of disputes over the past 4-1/2 years. The Center provides mediation and conciliation services t^ assist disputing parties to work together In developing mutually agreeable solutions to their differences. Our service area Includes all of Ramsey County. Nearly thirty percent of our clients reside outside of the City of S'. Paul. We have successfully mediated over fifty cases through the Maplewood and White Bear Lake branches of Conciliation Court in the first eight months of 1987. The services are beneficial to the City of Mounds View because we can handle cases which demand an Inordinate amount of city staff time and energy. Citizen -based disputes Involving neighbors, business and consumers, or landlords and tenants can be referred to the Center for quick and inexpensive resolution. In addition, we assist cities to resolve disputes where the city is a party, Inc!uding disputes over land use, contracts for service, special assessments or a host of other Issues where a strictly legal Interpretation may not apply or result le the most satisfactory long-term solution to the problem. Governor Perplch will proclaim the week of November 15-21 as Dispute Resolution Week. The purpose of the Week Is to Increase the public's awareness of the advantages of settling disputes out of court and of the services available through facilities such as the Center. As part of the Week's activities, we will make a presentation at the Ramsey County League of Local Governments monthly meeting on November 18th. We will demonstrate how you can use our services effectively and answer any questions you might have. Since the Center's Inception In 1982. our primary financial supporters have been Ramsey County. the City of St. Paul and Private foundations. Foundations cannot be viewed as a long-term stable source of funding and grant -writing requires a large expenditure of staff time. The Center's Board of Directors discussed funding options at Its last meeting. The Board has decided to Initiate a fee schedule to help cover the cost of actual mediations beginning this Fall. Under the plan. all parties, including cities, will pay a modest fee for dispute resolution services. But In addition, the PDard felt that the time had come to broaden the base of basic acknin:strative support - for keeping the doors oiler. so that services are available when the need arises. Therefore. we are asking !or a voluntary uoniriuuiiun of $250.00'from each city within Ramsey County. We appreciate your favorable consideration of this request. During the coming year, we hope you encourage your constituents to try us before going to court or before their disputes escalate to unmanageable proportions.

Attached is a letter from Fire Chief Fagerstrom requesting that the City consider the possibility of doubling our payments in February, March, April and May to assist them with cashflow difficulties they experience during this time as a result of their insurance = premiums. The City would then not be responsible for payments in September, October, November and December of 1988. Consultation with Finance Director Brager has indicated that the City would suffer an investment earnings loss of approximately $70.00 ;sr month as a result of this advanced payment. Staff has no recommendation for the Council w`h respect to this item at this time and would request Council uirection. _ DFP/mjs CAttachment: I n
