Paul Milke, 5116 Brighton Lane, inquired how much the
City asked the State Legislature for in grants and
local government aid, and how much was given.
Clerk/Administrator Pauley explained grants must be
applied for individually, as they are not state aid.
The preliminary figure is a 40 percent increase in
local government aid, which would be $233,000, but
that does not mean the City's revenues are increased by
that amount, and he explained the process used. He
added they do not know yet what has happened with
homestead credit, which has been changed, and that
could have a significant impact on the City.
Councilmember Hankner explained the City has not gone
to the Legislature with a formal re.,jest, but rather
stay in touch with their local Legislators.
Clerk/Administrator Pauley explained the lobbying
process used and added that they always hope for
more, but they never know until the end what will
happen.

Considera -- n
of Request for
Clerk/Administrator Pauley reviewed the issue before
Extension of
the Council and showed an overhead map of the area
Building
and tiie surrounding property. He explained that
Permit for
in reviewing the request for an extension of the
8100 Groveland
building permit, they have discussed the possible
Road
use of the lot for access to the back of the property
for subdivision and development of the back lots.
He stated Staff is asking the Council for direction
on how to proceed, and he added that a lot split has
not been granted, and if applied for, would have to be
done at the time of the permit.
Mike Hurley identified himself as the attorney repre-
senting Julian Johnson, owner of the property. He
explained Mr. Johnson is out of the State and was not
able to come back for this hearing. fie stated they
understand that when the original building permit was
issued, a lot split was not requested or approved,
and that while their original intent was to develop
only the small, front portion, without the split they
would be dealing with the entire parcel.
The Council questioned when Mr. Johnson would ask for
a lot split.
Mr. Hurley responded that at this time he has no
intention of asking for a lot split, but has only
requested an extension of the building permit at this
time. He added that while Mr. Johnson had misunderstood
the lot split issue at the time the original permit was
granted, it is acceptable to him.
Clerk/Administrator Pauley reported a previous owner
had applied for a building permit approximately four
years ago, which the Council denied at that time.
,Mr. Hurley pointed out Mr. Johnson has a buildable'lot
and he does not see why the City should deny him a permit
to build on his property. He added if the City is
inclined to acquire the property for a future road, he
is willing to talk, and he would like direction from
the Council at this time as to what their intentions are,
as this has been discussed for years and it is time that
a decision be made. He added Mr. Johnson's intention is
to construct a home and sell the entire piece,'or he may
possibly request a lot split at a later date.
Councilmember Hankner asked what the market value of
the lot is.
Mounds View City Council
Regular Meeting
----------------------
Mr. Hurley replied they have done some estimating end
looking at comparables, and as far as the s,nall parcel
is concerned, it should be valued at $35,000, and they
do not have a price yet for the entire parcel.
Councilmember Hankner clarified that if the smaller
parcel is built on, the entire parcel would remain on
the tax rolls.
Mr. Hurley asked if any parcels in that area were land-
locked presently.
Clerk/Administrator Pauley, 'Plied the__ were, and
without a road, they would remain so.
Mr. Hurley pointed out this is not unique, then, to
Mr. Johnson. He added there is potential there for
c holdonto lthe olot oVu to
to wait andseewhatsthelCity does,
but his concern is that something be done, as the
Council has sat on this for some time. He explained
he had sent a letter to Attorney Meyers in January,
requesting the extension, with either a yes or no
answer, and five months later they are no further.
Councilmember Hankner asked if Mr. Johnson would still
want to go ahead if the building Permit extension does
^ot include the Uot split.
Mr. Hurley replied he does, yet if the City wants to
acquire it, he has plans on how the property could be
developed.
Clerk/Administrator Pauley explained if the City
acquires it, they would have to take all 77.5' of
frontage, all the way through the lot, which would
leave them an excess of Jp to hopefully sell off to
adjoining property owners.
Bill Frits, 8072 Long Lake Road, questioned the value
or cost of the property to the City.
Mayor Linke explained they are just looking at possi-
bilities now, and would need solid numbers before
taking any action.
Clerk/Administrator Pauley stated the only decision
the Council would make this evening was whether or not
to extend the building permit, and if they don't, they
would have to instruct Staff to begin the process of
acquisition, and an appraisal would have to be done.
k0Mayor Links stated that a denial of the building permit
extension does not mean the Council is going to purchase
the property.

Mounds View City Council
Regular Meeting
Mr. Hurley pointed out if the City denies the permit
extension, that is a taking, restriction and denial
of the use of the property, and he would *?ope the City
would consider that.
Attorney Meyers reviewed the alternatives that are
a:•ailable, with a study of whether the extension of
Knollwood could be developed without 'dr. Johnsons
property. He explained they have heard runny proposals
over the years. He added they could approve the lot
split %ith the agreement that the Cit✓ could acquire
the large back lot for use in a future road development.
He added that if the permit extension is denied, the
City could be liable for denial of the use of the
property. He added they could allow the issuance of
the building permit extension but still look at the
parcel in back for development of a cur -de -sac. He
further added that the extension of the timeline
would be up to Mr. Hurley.
Mr. Hurley pointed out everything has been discussed
time and time again, and his client is very anxious
to get on with developing this property.
Councilmember Blanchard asked what harm there would
be in granting an extension, as the lot split has
not been asked for or granted.
Mr. Hurley pointed out the building permit was
originally issued in June of 1987, and a statement was
written right on it by Building Inspector Jim Tobias
that it would be extended to the Spring of 1988. He
also reminded the Council of the letter sent in January,
informing them of the request for the extension.and
requesting that a decision be made in a timely manner.
Attorney Meyers advised that if the Council grants the
building permit extension, it would eliminate the eastern
access, and that is what the issue tonight really is.
Mayor Links closed the public hearing cnd reopened the
regular meeting at 7:34 PM.
Councilmember Hankner stated that i{ the extension is
granted and the Council is to talk to Mr. Johnson about
a future lot split, it would require additional time
to discuss it with him.
Attorney Meyers advised the Council must decide if the
City can really ase Mr. Johnson's parcel. He added
that if a lot split is granted, the back portion could
ultimately go back to the City for taxes in another ten
years or so.
Mayor Links stated he was opposed to anything but the
east exit, due to the health, safety and welfare issue
of the future development. He pointed out there is also

a 12" water main on Groveland which could be till into.
He stated the best way to plan for the future is to
deny this and look at the acquisition of a strip of
the property.
Councilmember Blanchard stated she was against_ tying
up the citizens tax dollars on a "maybe" project
that might not happen for 25 years, if ever, as the
majority of the property owners there do not want a
road to go through.
Mayor Links replied there is money left from the Silver
Lake Woods project, which comes from the gas tax, and
would not be tying up new money.
Councilmember Blanchard responded that either way, the
tax payers are paying for it.
Councilmember Hankner stated the City could end up
paying for it anyway, if they deny the permit extension
and it ands up in litigation.
Attorney Meyers advised the Court could assess damages
for the denial of the use of the property. The money
could theoretically be recovered if a road is put in
in the future, but they would have to prove that the
market value of each property increased by that
l i 35essment. He added they could start condemnation
proceedings for the road, but it may or may not be to
the City's benefit. He added the City could acquire
the entire pared and sell off the buildable lots to
a developer.
Councilmember Hankner stated that sounds like a terrific
gamble, as they could end up in very lengthy negotiations
and still end up paying out a lot of money. She added
she feels Mr. Johnson has put the Council in an unfair
position as hi is not available to meet with them, and
they do not know where he stands on many items, and shy
does not know if rdr. Hurley can answer for Mr. Johnson.
She furti.2r stated the date of this meeting was postponed
for Mr. Johnson's convenience and he chose r,ot to meet with
the Council.
Attorney Meyers advised the Council decide if an east
access is necessary to go from there.
Councilmember Blanchard pointed out no one has come in with
any proposals for development on any portion, and she has a
real problem voting on if Is, and's and maybes.
Councilmember Quick stated that when the last permit was
kmw denied the policy was set, and they must look to the future
to allow for development.
May 23, 1988

Regular Meeting
Councilmember Wuori stated she agreed, and planning is
involved in putting a road in at a future time, which
is always "iffy". She added they must abide by the health,
safety and welfare issues, and the eastern access takes
care of all those points.
Councilmember Hankner stated she could agree with having
Staff get appraisals and begin negotiations with Mr.
Johnson.
At the request of the Council, Fir. Hurley stated the
Preliminary price of the front portion would be $35,000,
the second piece directly west would be $20,000, or
$75,000 for the entire parcel.
Maynr Linke asked tf Mr. Johnson would be willing to
negotiate because if the road was put in, it would
open up two lots in back to Mr. Johnson. He added that
the Council was not prepared to sign any purchase
agreement at this time.
Councilmember Hankaer suggested Staff be instructed to
go ahead and get an appraisal and talk to b7r. Johnson.
Motion/Second: Linke/Quick to authorize Staff to have
one apprai—r-aT performed by the City's appraiser and
commence negotiations for th=_ possible acquisition of
the property, and discuss with Mr. Johnson possible
points for negotiation.

Attorney Meyers advised the appraisal be done for the

Clerk/Administrator Pauley explained the first
reading of Ordinance No. 441 had been held on May 9.
This would allow a conditional use permit within
a B-2 district for a veterinary and animal clinic,
with stipulations as set forth. He added Dr. Barcus
has applied for the conditional use permit to operate
a veterinary clinic at the Silver View Plaza, and he
reviewed the five conditions that would be placed on
the operation, if the permit is granted. He added
=� once it is approved, there would be a 30 day
puolication phase, and then a 30 day waiting period
before it would go into effect.

had the opportunity to place street sweepings at
Greenfield Park earlier in the spring, but it was

placed there. She showed on an overhead map of the
area where they would like to place the sweepings.

authorization to amend the wetland map as proposed
and allow a wetland alteration permit for the fill.

Park and Rec Director Saarion reviewed the h'story 15. ConsideraWn
of the proposed completion of the pathway at Silver of Propos® to
View Park, and the meetings that have been held and Complete
Staff's recommendation that the work be done this Silver View
coming fall. Park Pathway
Councilmember Hankner reported Staff had met with
a group of residents or May:27 to discuss the exten-
sion of the pathway, and based on that discussion,
she was ready to make a motion to direct Staff to
proceed with the work.
Mayor Linke stated he was concerned at this time with
the cost and replacement factors of using ag lime, as
was being recommended, over wood chips, and he would
prefer to stay with wood chips.
Councilmember Hankner replied the majority of the
residents are concerned with the use of wood chips, as
they blow and make more of a mesa, whereas ag lime would
offer the asthetic value the residents would like to
have. She also stated they must consider the water flow
in the area, and she feels this would be a good ccmpro-
mise for all involved.
There was discussion on the merits of ag lime versus
wood chips and where it fits into the project. o
Councilmember Wuori expressed concern with ag lime
washing into the lake and possible contamination pro-
blems. She also expressed concern with the park getting
hodge-podge for the trail system.
Dave Radamacher, 7421 Parkview Drive, stated the Park
Hoard would be rdeeting next week to discuss the lake,
and he would rather see ag lime used as it is less
threatening than wood chips, and he suggested considering
ag lime for the remainder of the park.
Motion/Second: Hankner/Linke to direct Staff to begin
The implementation of the continuation of the development
of the path around Silver View Pond, according to the
planning discussion with the residents and Staff on
May 271 1988. Staff is further directed to distribute
detailed plans to the residents and City Council prior
to actual work being done. Staff is further directed to
review and report on the environmental effects of dg lime.

Special Meeting Page Two
----------------------------------------------------------------------
John Borovsky, of Barr Engineering, explained that
they had respc.,ded as they thought appropriate to the
developer's letter, but he realistically feels that
passing judgment on this issue should be with the
Planning Commission, City Council and legal counsel,
as it relates not so much to technical issues as it
does to community standards.
Mr. Sabee reviewed the letter regarding the pl.jsphorus
stripping capacity, which interprets the intent of the
ordinance to protect the potential of the wetland
function, and he reviewed Chet intetpretat!on. He
explained there are no wetlands that can completely
strip phosphorus from the water, and due to the time
storm water spends in a typical wetland, there is not
enough time to remove the phosphorus. He added they
must also consider the intent of ti,e or-.inance, that
development should have no impact on the wetland
phosphorus stripping capacity as compared to the
existing conditions of the wetland.
Mr. Sabee recommended the Planning Commission consider
a change in the standard that would result in a
s`andar4 that states that whatever development or
alteration there is, it could not result in a decrease
in the phosphorus stripping capacity, that it can only
be maintained or improved.
Mr. Sabee stated that in addressing the Planning
Commission's concern about an average storm versus a
critical storm, the Walker Method is an alternative
that could be used for an average event, and he would
recommend some modification of the Walker Method or
another method be considered for critical storm
events. He added that they have looked at this issue
from a technical viewpoint and did not look at it as
an issue of setting precedence.
Mr. Borovsky added that with a particular development,
when phosphorus stripping is a big hurdle, they should
look at other methods for analyzing phosphorus stripping.
Mr. Sabee cautioned that their letter dealt solely
with considering the method and the attributes of
such, and does nLt apply to how the method is applied
to this development.
Jim Merila, of Merila & Associates, questioned whether
the representatives of Barr Engineering felt the
developer's proposal. strips phosphorus better than the
existing wetland using the Walker Oodel. +�
Mr. Sabee replied using a different model than that
required by the Code was dependent upon approval of
the Planning Commission and Council, and they do not

�-1 have an option to use that as a measure for a proposed
development. He added that the questions of how it
would calculate to a critical storm event needs to be
evaluated.
He also stated the Planning Commission needs to address
what method would be used and how the standard would be
applied.
Mr. Merile: stated the existing method does not provide
an adequate manner of calculating phosphorus stripping,
and a better method is needed.
Kay Weseman, no address given, asked if there was
another approach to improving phosphorus stripping in a
wetland.
Mr. Borovsky stated he would be surprised if state of the
art phosphorus calculations didn't show the proposed
development would result in improved phosphorus stripping
capacity. He added that while that gives an indication of
the direction the development would prorsed, it does not
provide a test of whether it would be good enou,h or not.
He stated the language in the ordinance now is what the
test would be.
City Planner Herman stated they are trying to help the
City Council decide what direction they want to go, and
the issue is both how to get the end result, what model
to use as well as the end result itself.
Mr. Sabee expressed concern with the total picture and
its implications, stating they need a standard that
will look at all cases and protect the intent of the
ordinance in all cases without necessarily approving
the development.
Mr. Merila stated he feels there is a better technical
method of calculating phosphorus than what is currently
being judged, and if Barr has another method, they have
no problem complying with that versus the Walker
Method. Mr. Meril.a reviewed his letter of June 22, in
response to the June 17 letter from Barr Engineering.
City Planner Herman reviewed proposed Resolution No.
229-E8 with the Planning Commission. She stated that
regardless of whether the development is approved, she
would recommend the Coucnil address the proposed change
to the wetland boundaries and bring the wetland map
current.
There was discussion among the Commissioners regarding
setting standards. City Planner Herman read from
portions of the ordinance and questioned whether the
Planning Commission was already setting standards, and
she advised recommending to the Council that they look
at the standard rather than giving a definitive
recommendation.

-----------------------
Mr. Borovsky clarified that Barr Engineering was not
directed by the City Council or Planning Commission
to figure out how to configure the development to meet
the Code, and that should be done by the developer.
Chairman Mountin reccmmended adding another whereas
to the resolution, that the variance to the 100' set-
back should not be viewed as a bla
alteration. nket variance and
may in fact be changed by a redesign of the wetland
Savri Ayaz, no address given, stated he feels the
variances should be specific, not general.
Chairman Mountin explained this would be an open
door so that if reasonable alternatives are available,
they will be looked at, and she added there may be a
reasonable alternative here.
Mr. Merila stated he feels precedent was set aith
Planning Commission Resolution No. 93-83, for Dynamic
Designers, as a variance was granted due to a hardship
with many similarities to their proposed development.
He added Edgewood Square was approved with 90, lots,
and they are considered to be part of the wetland area.
Ile added the big issues are lot size and width, and he
questioned if there was a real need for the standards
set for development of the wetlands.
Chairman Mountin replied the variance to build in the
100' buffer is a Toot point if the preliminary plat
is not approved. She explained that without the
variances for Dynamic Designers, which was one
lot, it was just not buildable. She stated she was
not certain what tha circumstances were for. the Eigen-
heer property, but if an error was made, that does not
mean it should be repeated.
Chairman Mountin reiterated that due to time constraints,
the Planning Commission must work with what is before
them, and as there is no request from the developer to
table this to allow time for the Planning Commission to
review the information received earlier today, action

with the proposed development. She explained the
liminary Plat
Planning Commission would not be calling to order or
taking any action this evening, and she outlined the
guidelines to be followed, with dialogue to flow to
and from the vlanning Commission, and questions
posed to the Commission, who would then ask them of
the developer, and so forth.
The Commissioners present were Commissioners Miller,
Zollner, Burgers and Chairman Mountin, with City
Planner Herman representing Staff.
City Planner Herman explained there would be a brief presen-
4 tation by Harstad Co., and then Barr Engineering, who was hired
by the City and for by Harstad
paid Co., would answer
questions and respond to the comments made.
Jim Merila, of Merila & Associates, Inc., introduced himself
and Steve Thatcher, then made a presentation showing several
different drawings of the proposal, including two colored
renderings showing the original and the new plan, with the
road no longer going all the way through. He explained it
had been eliminated primarily to have the wetland contiguous
on both sides of Edgewood. fi, added the revised plan has been
approved by the Army Corps of Engineers, and it will be cor-
prised cf 17 lots total.
Mr. Merila showed where the c•:isting wetland and buffer are,
per the City map, and the wetland district line as determined
by the Corps of Engineers, which differs. Ile stated that
regardless of whether this development is done, the City's
wetland map needs to be updated to show the determination made
by the Corps of Engineers.
Mr. Merila stated they are proposing to fill 1.6 acres of
wetland, and to compensate for that, they will excavate an
equal area. He pointed out that presently the 100' buffer
line goes through two fully developed lots, and the current
zoning map shows five lots within the current buffer strip.
Mr. Merila stated that with t,.e iiew deliniation, three
®
additional lots will be buildable that currently are not
without a variance. With some modification, they can get
four additional lots outside the 100' buffer strip, which
Mounds View Planning Commission June 15, 1988
Public Meeting Page Two
---------------------------------------------------------
he feels would be acceptable with the Corps of Engineers.
It would require excavation of -,,proximately 10' nea, _ne
inlet to the wetland which would be moved to the south.
Mr. Merila showed the plan that was originally proposed
in 1981, which was for 24 lots. He explained the appli-
cation was submitted three days before the moritorium
was created, thus tabling the proposal. N.dgewood Square
was being developed at that time and Mr. Harstad asked for
access to the southern corner of his lots at that time, and
when it was not given, four to five lots were cut off and
land locked.
Mr. Merila stated they are now looKing for an amendment to
have the wetland boundaries modified to their correct
location, then a wetland alteration permit for 1.6 acres,
as well as a variance for buildLag within 100' setback, and
a variance from the 20,000 square foot lot size require-
ment and variance from the 125 foot lot width.
Mr. hirila stated that in a survey they did of 45 metro
communities, 80 percent do not have a wetland ordinance,
and of those that do, only two besides Mounds View have a
minimum lot size, both of which are 16,000 square feet.
He added only Mounds V" ew has a minimum lot width in the .
wetland are that is greater than the rest of the City, as
well as greater setback requirements. He added the Corps
of Engineers has jurisdiction over any development by less
than 10 acres and he feels their interpretation would be
merit for modification of the City's wetland ordinance.
Mr. Merila explained the process they plan for phosphorus
removal, with the use of sedimentation ponds. The method
they suggest for analtztng phosphorus stripping is the
method currently being used by the St. Paul Water Works.
Planner Herman presented a list of the issues that have been
raised, and called upon the representacives from Barr Engineez-
Ing to give their responses. She added <;hey had read the memo
sent tc •ne Planning Commission and fe.t comfortable with the
technical assumptions made in it.
John. Borovsky, of Barr Engineering, discussed the phosphorus
removal options avatla'le and explained the difference between
dry and wet wetisnds. He explained the developer could meet
the requirements of the ordinanne by methods that could be
contrary to the intent of the ordinance, the Planning Commis-
sion and City Council. He stated he is concerned at this time
with recommending the Wrlkar method due to possibly setting u
precedent in the community. He added that the principles
involved in the Walker method are consistent with what they
believe the City should consider, and he explained the assump-
tions involved. He advised the City Attorney address the issue
of precedence that may be set, and if it could be worked out,
this type of approach would be acceptable.
Mounds view Planning Commission June 15, 1988
Public Meeting Page Three
Peter Sabee, of Barr Engineering, stated that if the
rN intent of the ordinance is to protect the wetland the
- 'amount of stripping is not the key item to be concen-
trated on, but rather the existing conditions versus
proposed conditio:s.
Mr. Borovsky advised there are two decisions to be
made, one being the appropriateness of the procedure,
and secondly; the parameters the Planning Commission or
City Council determines would be apprc,)riate with the
ordinance.
City Planner Herman stated Barr is putting their report
in writing and it will be given to the Plannirg
Commission prior to their next regular meeting. She also
clarified the issue of the temporary injunction Mr. Harstad
had sought with the development of Edgewood.Square. Mr.
Harstad's opinion was that he should not have to provide
access to his lots, and it should be the City's role to do
so, and because it was not done, he is now claiming a hard-
ship.
Jim Sandidge, 7817 Bona Read, questioned how much property
Mr. Harstad had purchased originally, as he has developed
several homes in the area already and it is possible that
he could have land -locked himself. He added he felt it
was important the City find out.
Mr. Merila showed on one o= the maps where the land -locked
lots are, and where Mr- Harstad has developed homes already.
He also stated he has sent Clerk/Adainistrator Pauley a
letter regarding the methodology used to calculate phosporus
stripping and requesting that the Walker method be adopted.
He added that if Ramsey County Soil and Water Conservation
District modifies their report, it would satisfy the ordinance
and not require an amendment.
City Planner Herman read the applicable portion of the
ordinance.
There was discussion on when Mr. Harstad had requested
access to the lots that were subsequently land -locked, and
when the Eigenheer development was a_proved. Chairman
Mountin clarified that development is essentially approved
at the time the preliminary plat is approved.
Kathy Ayaz, 7751 Bona Road, asked at what point access was
offered to Mr. Harstad, and the opportunity given to him to
buy the necessary property. She stated she does not feel
there should be a payback now because of this situation from
some time ago.

Chairman Mountin stated that in granting a variance, the
applicant should not have created his own need.
Debbie Alman, 2390 Pinewood, stated she knows of someone
who would like to purchase that property from Mr. Harstad,
but he is unwilling to sell it aAd appears to be hanging
on to it for a bargain Ug tool.
Jim Thollusy 7845 Bona Road, asked for a clarification
of the proposed drainage ditch, and what the City does to
maintain wetlands.
City Planner Herman replies. the ditches have to be cleaned
periodically, and the City has not been too active in
keeping them cleaned in the past.
Sabri Ayaz, 7751 Bona Road, stated he feels cleaning the
ditch hurts the wetland as it appears to shrink.
Sandy Krough, 7827 Bona Road, stated she had read the
ordinance and as far as changing the wetland map, there
is quite a procedure to be followed, which is time
consuming, and she did not feel the City should use the
developers revised map to consider this proposal as it
has nct been approved.
City Planner Herman stated the Planning Commission wi-1
take action on this proposal or. Wednesday, June 22, and
send it on to the Council, who is the final authority,
The Council would have adequate time in July to conduct
the necessary public hearings, if the City takes the
deliniation of the Army Corps of Engineera as an
accurate ,assessment.
Kay Weseman, 7807 Bona Road, stated she has a real problem
in accepting the Corps of Engineers authority over the
wetland, and she quoted several facts from a book she had
read at the library. stating they are pro -development, and
she asked the City to use cauticn on taking their recommenda-
tions. She added she would like to hear the DNR's comments
on the Cit,"s guidelines, and would also like to know where
Mounds View stands in comparison to non -wetland development.
She added she would also like to know from Barr Engineering
what the wetland would look like in 5, 10 or 20 years if
the City does not do anything as far as cleaning the ditches,
and so forth. She st-.ted she feels the cattails should be
reseeded and guarantees made.
Ms. Wesemaz presented a petition to the Planning Commission
of over 200 signatures of residents mostly within 350' of
the proposed development, all opposed to disturbing the
wetland.

Ms. Alman asked if the proposed change in the wetland
boundaries takes into consideration 3 dry years and
the fact the ditch was cleaned.
Mr. Borovsky replied it does, and he explained the pro-
cess used to classify wetlands.
Mrs. Ayaz asked how many proposed lots would not be
buildable if they did agree to the new boundaries and
kept the setback requirement.
Mr. Merila replied one would be buildable.
Mrs. Ayaz stated she does not see the need to give the
setback variance, and she referred to comments made at
one meeting by a member of the Auu-bon Society, con-
cerning the importance of the buffer zone, and how it is
there to protect what is there.
Mr. Sandidge stated the issue has been brought up before
that the City altered the wetland by cleaning the ditch
and he asked if the City is looking at repairing any
damage that was done.
City Planner Herman replied the City is regvired to
maintain the ditch for 2lood purposes, and they ere not
violating the ordinance by cleaning the ditch.
Commissioner Burgers stated the purpose of cleaning the
ditch was also to restore it to its prior level.
Mr. Borovsky stated there is a misconception about the
wetland, while it may be shrink:.ng'in a sense bf the water
level and the character of what is:there•; the chance in
deliniation is not affected relative to the ditch, but
rather because the original map was not done in detail,
which has been cone now.
City Planner Herman referred to City Council minutes of
September .14, 1981, at which Mr. Harstad asked that
access be provided to his lots by the City, at which time
Mr. Eigenheer offered to sell him the property needed.
Mr. Merila clarified the change in the wetland and the
accuracy of when it was originally platted.
City Planner Herman stated the Planning Commission would
discuss the issue further next week, at their June 22
meeting, and would make a final recommendation at that
time to the Council.

Dear Mr. Pauley:
Attached, please find a drawing os the proposed temporary haul
road. The temporary haul road will. have a road surface width of
15 feet and will consist of four to five feet of granular
material over a geotextile fabric installed on the existing
surface. A temporary emergency overflow at an elevation of 901.0
will bo constructed on the easterly end of the haul road. Two
temporary 24 inch diameter CMP culverts will be installed to
convey stormwater at the ditch crossing. The invert of each
culvert will match the existing ditch bottom. The slope of each
culvert will be C.1 percent.
We understand you have determined that times for staging of
development is applicr:bie for this project. Therefore, the
p-oposed development staging is as follows:
1. Install silt £once and baffled weir at Hillview Road
outlet the first day of construction and prior to
grading.
2. Start grading and install temporary access road after
installation of silt fence and baffled weir at Hillview
Road outlet.
3. Remove temporary haul road and temporary culverts and
restore the wetland with topsoil and seed.
4. Install silt fence between wetland and upland one week
after grading completion.
S. Erosion control seeding one week after grading
completion.
Mr. Don Pauley
June 22, 1988
Page 2
S. House construction and final turf establishment in
yard arele will be accompiished approximately one year
after grading completion.
7. Remove silt fence after all houses are constructed.
As previously indicated in the application, grading is proposed
to start in August 1988 :.id will take approximately three months
to complete.
We appreciate your consideration of the above information and
look forward to working with you on the project. If you have any
questions, please call me.
Sincereiy.

The City of Chanhassen Zoning Ordinance non -wetland minimum lot
area (15,00o aq, ft.) is th9 same as the wetland minimum lot
area. The wetland ordinance does not have a minimum lot width,
while the minimum lot width for non -wetland lots is 90 feet. We
are enclosing amended copies of our letter dated May 31, 1988.
The amended copies include the City of Chanhassen.
The rational for the Riley -Purgatory -Bluff Creek Watershed
Districts 200 foot greenbelt (100 feet on each side of the creek)
requirement is to maintain open and green space along the creek.
The IOC foot requirement has been reduced f ?0 feet in two

Re: Greenfield Estates
Project No. 35-137
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:
Harstad Companies currently owns and has applied to develop as
Greenfield Estates, the 12.1 acre tract of lane lying along
Edgewood Drive between Pinewood Circle and Hillview Road in the
City of Mounds View.
Even though 4.9 acres of the property is outside of the wetland
area as defined by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the current
J city wetland ordinance and wetland district map renders the
entire 12.1 acres unbuildable unless variances from the current
ordinance a_a granted.
In order to put into prospective the restrictiveness of the City
of Mounds View's Wetland Ordinance, we conducted a survey to
determine how other cities regulate development of property
within and adjacent to wetlands. Forty-five cities in the Twin
Cities hatropolitan area were contacted.
A brief summary of t;e survey is as follovs:
WETLAND WETLAND MINIMUM BLDG
MINIMUM MINIMUM SETBA0, FROM
CITY LOT SIZE LOT WIDTH WETLAND
40 Cities None None None
Minnetonka None None 35 FT
Chanhassen 15,000 SF Nonei 75 FT
Oakdale 16,000 SF 75 FT None
Vadnais Heights 16,000 SF 85 FT None
Mounds View 2U,000 SF 125 FT 100 FT
Note: The Survey Summary anI location map are attached for your
review. Copies of the respective wetland ordinance are on
file with the city planner.
City Council and
Planning Commission
May 31, 1988
(Amended June 22, 1988)
Page 2
The results of the survey are as follows:
1. Seventy-eight percent (35) of the cities do not have
wetland ordinances.
2. Eleven percent (5) of the cities (including Mounds View)
have wetland ordinances with minimum lot size, minimum
lot width, or minimum building setback requirements.
3. Eleven percent (5) of the cities have wetland ordinances
without minimum lot size, minimum lot width or minimum
building setback requirements. These cities generally
regulate wetlands by minimizing erosion, siltation and
pollution.
4. The Cities of Minnetonka a:,d Chanhassen are the only
other cities with a uinimum building setback from
vetlands and that distance is only 35 Zest and 75 feet,
respectively. The City of Mounds View's setback
distance is 100 feet and is 2.8 times greater than
Minnetonka's setback distance and 1.33 times greater
than Chanhassen's.
5. Moundp View is the only city Where the minimum lot width
for a single family residential lot in a wetland
district is wide_ than the minimum lot width for a
single family residential lot in a non -wetland district.
6. Cities directly adjacent to Mounds View do not have
watland ordinances.
7. Mounds View is the only city where phosphorus stripping
capacity is established by Ramsey Soil and Water
Conservation District.
In the City of Mounds View and in all other cities in the State
of Minnesota, wetlands are regulated by the Minnesota Dep; ,ment
of Natural Resourc=s (MnDNR), the U.S. Arvy Corps of Engineers
:CUE) and the respective watershed distr.c.ts or watershed
management boards. Of the cities surveyed, 78 percent rely
exclusively on outside agencies for watland regulation.
Based on the above survey information and the prohibition of
development on approximately 4.9 acres of land lying outside of
the wetland defined by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, we
strongly believe the City of Mounds View Wotlar.d Ordinance to be
overly restrictive. IR

We request that the city grant the requested variances and
conditional use permit or revise the wetland ordinance to conform
with the wetland ordinances of the vast majority of other cities.
We appreciate your consideration of the above request and look

SUBJECT: 1988 CLEAN-UP DAY PROFIT/LOSS STATEMENT
Attached please find the Profit/Less Statement for the 1988
Clean -Up Day. You will note that the City, even though
contributing $3,300 to to the cost of Clean -Up Day, still
experienced a net loss in the amount of $2,538.54. This
resulted directly from the increased cost for disposal of
such items as tires and appliances and the fact that 18
30 yard containers, a new record, were taken out on Clean -Up
Day.
Staff would like to discuss with you the three options we
feel are available for avoiding a loss in this program in
1989, namely increasing the City subsidy, increasing
disposal Fees, or a combination of the two. This item will
be placed on your July 5th Agenda for discussion.

Dear Mr. Pauley:
At ycl=r request we have personally inspected the subject
property, located on Groveland Road in Moundsview,
Minnesota, for the purpose of estimating the Fair Market
Value of various parts of the subje.:t property.
The subject property consists of 1.7 acres of residential
land.
As a result of our appraisal and analysis, it is our opinion
that the various portions of the site had estimated Pair
:!nrket Values as of June 7, 1988 as follows:
Alternative 41 - $55,000.00
Alternative 112 - $27,000.00
Alternative 43 - $38,000.00

the market value of this property. all three ap-
In estimating e the Market Data
proaches to value have been considered. They ar
Approach, the Cost Approach, and the Income Approach.

i
MARKET DATA APPROACH
The Market Data Approach is a value estimate predicated upon
prices paid in actual market transactions and current listings,
the former fixing the lower limit of value in a static or advar.-
cing market (price -wise) and fixing the higher limit in P
declininn market; and the latter fixing the higher limit in any
market.
COST APPROACH
The Cost Approach estimates the value of the subject property
based on the current coat of replacing the improvement on today's
cost levels, less reasonable allowances for depreciation which
has taken place over the years, and includes land value and other
component parts of the property. The cost or constructing the
subject property is based primarily upon comparison with the cost
of constructing other similar types of buildings in the general
area.
ITJCf-N5C1�1 E�

I
INCOME APPROACH
The Income Approach estimates the value of the subject property
based on its ability to develop and produce an income stream.
Primarily, investors are concerned with the quantity, quality,
and durability of the income which can be generated from a given
Income producirg property.
LEGAL DESCRIPTION
The subject property is legally described as, except the North
152.5 feet of the East 200 feet, the North 1/2, subject to road,
of Lot 47, Auditors Subdivision #89, Ramsey county, according to
the recorded plat thereof and or. file in the Register of Deeds
Office, in and for said county.
SITE DESCRIPTION
The subject site is a residential site which is located on
Groveland Roa6 in Moundsview, Minnesota. The site contains a
total square foot area of 1.70 acres or 74,052 square feet. The
highest and best use for the site is estimated to be as zoned.
Water and sewage disposal systems are provided by public water
and sewer. There appear to be no advarse soil conditions noted
that would adversely affect the marketability of the subject
property. There also appears to be no violations or
encroachments noted that would affect the market value of the
subject property. Photographs of the subject site and
improvements have been i.icluded in this report.
The su:,ject pr�perty is generally L-shaped and has 77.5 feet of
frontage on Grcveland.; This frontage is approximately 448 feet
deep and there is additional land on the north side of the s".e
152 feet wide a!-ng the rear 258 feet. There is a pl^t map
showing the parcel found on the following pages. The site
contains matu_a trees and small brush and has some �Io^p�enn area -.I
® 5C V /WOa'IES
0
SITE DESCRIPTION (CONT.)
If the City were to condemn the whole parcel, because of
severance damage in alternative 2 or 3, the cost to the City
would be $55,06J.00 for the land. Costs to develop $30,000.00 to
$40,000.00 and probably t'-- lower figure, equalling a cost of
�. $85,000.00 to $95,00u.00. The 3 resulting lots again having a
value of $93,000.00 make for generally a wash with expense versus
return and the addition of 3 homes to the tax rolls and an
orderly development in the area.
It would ar;aas from an appraisal standpoint with regard to the
greatest retui.i, that thn installation of a roadway and the
development of the 3 sites is the most logical and orderly course
to fallow for the subject property.

SITE DESCRIPTION (CONT.)
At the present time the parcel is capable of supporting only 1
dwelling because of its limited access to Groveland or any other
)
public street. This is one of the alternative values for the
parce'__ The parcel has been valued as if it is only 1 building
site with 77.5 feet of frontage on Groveland and containing 1.7
acres.
Another valuation alternative is the portion of the site which
fronts on Groveland or 77.5 feet and being 190 feet deep. This
is also assumed to be a site capable of holding a single
dwelling. It nmst Lc noted however that if the owner of the
subject propeziy were to sell this portion of the site, the sear
.=s
part would be land locked and therefore have limited value. It
could be sold to adjacent owners but probably at a very reduced
figure becaa_^, of the p.:�tential limited use as anything other
than yard area. Further, if the City of Mounfisview were to
?
condemn this hart of the site it would cause severance damage
5
which would amount to basically a taking of the whole parcel.
The appraiser hay kept this in mind and has valued the frontage
area without regard to severance de.age. In affect if severance
damage were considered the value. of the front parcel and
severance damag:; would be very nearly the same as the value
ascribed to the wb ole parcel or the previously mentioned
i
valuation.
r
i
UMTJCt�E5
0
SITE DESCRIPTION (COST.)
The third alternative is to value the strip of around 77.5 feet
wide and approximately 448 feet deep. This again would be a
single buildable site deeper than what is typical. As previously
mentioned, this would result in severance damage'to the remainder
and if this were considered this valuation would be similar to
t:je other 2 alternatives including severance damage.
The reason for the various valuation alternatives is because of
the development potential of the site. Genera)2y speaking the
77.5 feet of frontage would be used to allow accesP, that Is
Improved with a street, to develop 3 additional sites at the rear
of the site.
In 66.ne cases the City of Moundsview would condemn the land -
alternati.ve 03 which would generally give the owner of the
property $38,000.00 in damages and allow for development of 3
lots with a retail value of $93,000.00. This would involve an
estimated $30,000.00 - 540,000.00 in development cost or a net to
the owner of th± property of about $91,000.00 to $101,000.00.
