38 for the installation of a new motor at Well #3 . The City Manager noted
39 that the funding for this will come from the State. He also advised
40 that an electrical consultant was employed to overse-e the installation
41 of power at the well as a separate service in case of a power outage.
42 The City Manager will check on this matter. The fourth bill from this
43 firm related to a grant amendment . Councilmember Enrooth suggested the

30 The minutes of the June 19, 1990 Planning Commission meeting were dis-

32 to reflect accurately what transpired at the June 19th meeting.
33
34 Councilmember Wagner stated he will abstain on any Council votes re-
35 garding items acted upon from the June 19th meeting as he was seated

38 1 . D. Drews, setback variance request for 2609 St. Anthony Boulevard
39 Mr. Drews is requesting a one foot variance to the setback requirement
40 of the City' s Zoning Ordinance. His proposed garage 'would be three feet
41 from the property line as required by ordinance, however , the overhang
42 of the garage would be one foot into the three foot requirement. The
43 ordinance requires such a structure to have a three foot setback from
44 the property line including the overhang.
4c
46 Mr. Drews noted that there is a telephone pole in the driveway so he would
47 need this extra foot to approach his garage. Councilmember Enrooth
48 observed that all of the houses on St . Anthony Boulevard have a peculiar
49 problem in that residents seldom, if ever, park on St . Anthony Boulevard .
50 They usually park in the alley. He felt the location the telephone pole

1 is at could be considered a hardship.
2
3 Councilmember Makowske referred to the three questions asked in
the variance request. She felt there was no hardship, but rather
5 an inconvenience.
6
7 Councilmember Marks advised that the Council , by State law, are not
8 supposed to approve any variance unless it is truly a hardship. He
9 referred to examples of hardships.
10
11 Noting that the members of the Planning Commission recommended approval
12 of the variance request by a four to three vote, Commissioner Faust
13 advised the Council how members of the Commission reached their vote.
1,
15 Councilmember Makowske observed that in the past the Council had granted
16 variance to property owners who were building garages but she stated she
17 did not really see anything unique nor extraordinary with this request .
18
19 The City Manager stated that staff checked the records regarding any
20 precedence which may have been set in prior situations. He gave two
21 examples of variances granted for garages in Mr. Drews' neighborhood.
22
�3 The City Attorney said the question is one of an existing hardship.
24 He felt there is no hardship that could meet the test of the State
•25 nor City ordinances. Councilmember Enrooth stated he hopes the Council
26 continues to apply stricter enforcement of the ordinance.
27
23 Motion by Makowske, second by Marks to deny the request for a setback
29 variance at 2609 St . Anthony Boulevard there being no conditions which
30 would allow the Council to grant the variance.

35 Motion carried.
36 2. S. Clarke, setback variance for 3305 Edward Street
37 Sharon-Lee Clarke is requesting an 11 .43 foot variance to the back yard
38 setback requirement of the City Zoning Ordinance to be allowed to con-
39 struct a 12 foot by 9. 33 foot three season porch. The Zoning Ordinance
40 requires that there shall be a rear yard measuring in depth a distance
41 equal to 20% of the depth of the entire lot, but in no case less than
42 twenty-five feet . Twenty percent of the Clarke lot is less than 25
43 feet , therefore the required backyard setback would be 25 feet. If
44 the variance were granted , the backyard setback from the porch would
45 be 13.57 feet .
46
47 Ms. Clarke stated she had grown up in this area and has family close
48 to the site she has chosen on which to build her home . She revie,,.ed
49 for thz Council her criteria for choosing this parcel . They are as

• 1 follows: .buildability, maintenance ease, *holding of value, accessibility,
2 convenience,, affordability and accommodation to furnishings already
T purchased: She showed the Council plans for the house noting that it
4 meets the grade of the parcel , conforms to the property and that the
5 deck is integrated into the design of the house. She intends to add
le
to the deck a roof and screening which would require the variance.
7
8 Ms. Clarke also advised the Council she had taken water flow on the
9 property into consideration when the plans were being drafted. She
10 noted in photos she presented for the Council 's viewing there was
11 standing water on the property after a recent rain. The rear of the
12 house is well removed from this water and her porch will only .
13 have footings so there will be no foundation under it which would
i,4 interfere with water flow nor drainage.
15
16 Ms. Clarke stated that one objection raised at the Planning Commission
17 was that of no certain dateset for completion of the roof and screening.
18 She has a signed statement which indicates she is prepared to complete
19 this building within a three year period. She stated she has also
20 considered all of the alternatives for changing the house plans which
21 would not necessitate her requesting a variance. Ms. Clarke anticipates
22 a hardship if she is requested to alter her plans, among them is the
�3 continued storage of her personal belongings, cost increases and moving
24 in the winter months.
25'
26 Councilmember Marks inquired if Ms. Clarke had anything which would
�7 fit the definition of a hardship. He again stated the terms which
28 must be met to be considered a hardship. Ms. Clarke stated that no
�9 one on the Planning Commission could define "hardship."
30
31 Councilmember Makowske inquired of the City Attorney if the peculiar
32 topography .of the land would qualify as a hardship. The City Attorney
33 felt the question1which needed to be answered would be could this
34 house be built complying with the setback requirements and not requiring
35 variances. Councilmember Makowske observed that the way the water drains
36 from the property might have influenced where the house was sited.
37
38 Ms. Clarke stated that in 1982 water came up to the top of the railroad
39 ties so the location and design are really a factor in this location.
40 She attended the Water Committee meeting to discuss these concerns.
41
42 Councilmember Marks observed that what may appear a hardship for Ms.
43 Clarke is not considered a hardship for granting a variance.
44
tc The builder of the home, Frank Bielinski , 21st Century Builders, stated
46 that the garage could be moved back but it may impede water flow.
47
48 Councilmember Enrooth commended Ms. Clarke for her presentation and
49 the plans and -photos she brought for Council review. He felt the
50 Council had the opportunity to view much more material regarding this

9 3. V. Berggren, sign variance for 2508 38th Avenue (Apache Country Store)
10 Mr. Berggren, owner of the Apache Country Store at 2508 38th Avenue, is
11 requesting a -variance to the City sign ordinance. The sign ordinance
12 allows for 150 square foot of signage per business.
13
14 The variance is to allow a 881 .5 square foot sign as well as a 28 square
15 foot sign designating the store's entrance. The total proposed signage
16 would be 909.5 square feet. The existing signage is 927 square feet or ,
17 17.5 feet larger than the proposed signage. The substantial size of
18 the existing and proposed signage is based on the great distance. the
19 store -is from Silver Lake Road.
20
21 The Planning Commission had requested staff to provide the City Council
22 with historical information relating to previous sign variances granted
23 this property so that it may consider that information in its deliberations
24 at this Council meeting.
25 •
26 The Assistant to the City Manager advised that staff could not locate
�7 any records of variances being granted to this store.
28
29 The Planning Commission recommends granting the variance request as
30 submitted finding that the request meets the three statutory require-
31 ments for a variance, that the store' s distance from the main traveled
32 roadway and limited visibility constitutes a distinct and unusual hard-
33 ship which justifies a sign large enough to draw customers' attention
34 to the store, that no one spoke against the request and that no semi-
35 trailers be parked in the store's lot for a period longer than 72
36 continuous hours. Commissioner Faust stated that this motion in the
37 minutes accurately reflects the Planning Commission's position on the
38 request.

45 �,:roup Home - 3512 Silver Lake Road
47 A property owner at 3507 Belden Drive expressed his concerns regarding
48 the group home immediately behind his home. He had questions about
the landscaping, final grade for water runoff and the rumor he had
49
49 heard that the City may be paying for the landscaping.
" :- �ular Council Meeting

pace 9
• 1 He was assured that the property -owners will be paying for the land-
2 scaping and not the City. Councilmember Enrooth noted there had been a
3 plastic silt fence put in. The neighbor acknowledged this was true but
silt is still coming into his yard.
5
6 Tom Reid, the property owner at 3507 Belden Drive, inquired how this
j group home could have been located in an R-1 District. He stated he
8 could find no information regarding a state license nor how this
could have been allowed by the City's ordinance. Mr. Reid felt his
10 home was being devalued by its close proximity to this group home.
11 He has observed increased noise and traffic at the group home and
12 he inquired how many of these types of facilities could be placed
13 in a neighborhood and how many people can reside in one.
14
15 The City Manager responded that several letters have been sent to
16 the property owner regarding the landscaping. It was noted that the
17 landscaping must be completed by July 13th or the City will be forced
18 into enforcing its landscaping regulations.
19
20 The City Manager stated the group home is licensed through the State
21 of Minnesota and can accommodate a maximum of four residents. He re-
22 viewed the legislative mandate governing group homes which states
23 that a state licensed group home can be placed in any residential
24 area. The facility has to be built before it can be licensed. The
25 fire and building codes were met by the building contractor.
• 26
27 The City Manager advised that the City was notified in January of
23 this year of the proposed group home and was given thirty days to
29 respond if the proposal was in conflict with City ordinances. The
30 original proposal was for a home for chemically dependent residents .
31 This proposal was turned down.
32
33 Four full time and four part time care providers come to the group
34 home. Regarding the traffic, the City Manager stated there appears
35 to be a pattern. Typically, the cars, handicabs and vans come to
36 the home to service the residents or belong to the staff. The City
37 Manager noted the house was observed by City staff for three days.
38
39 Mr. Reid still had concerns with a "for-profit" business operating
40 in his neighborhood. The City Manager noted that State laws circum-
41 vent St. Anthony ordinances. Councilmember Enrooth stated the Council
42 had been advised there was nothing it could do. Representative Mc-
43 Guire contacted the City Manager and advised him that State law
44 supercedes local ordinances.
45
Curren, House Manager of the group home, stated that since 1989
47 federal laws prohibited refusal of handicapped housing being located
48 in any area.
49
50 The City Attorney noted the City was originally contacted regarding
^.: I a Council Meeting

1 the placement of a chemical dependent counselling house to serve
2 sixteen people at this location. He responded to the State stating
J this would not be acceptable and the license application was not
4 completed.
5
6 The City Attorney stated the State license issued for this facility
7 was for the head-injured population and he read the appropriate
statute section regarding zoning. The City Attorney also cited the
9 court case from Two Harbors which found on behalf of the head-injured
10 people. He noted that State statute does pre-empt City ordinances.
11
12 Parents of two of the group home's residents addressed how well their
13 family members were cared for and how much they have progressed.
14
15 Mrs. Elaine Reid, 3507 Belden Drive, had questions regarding super-
16 vision, safeguards for proper treatment and staff licensing. Ms. Curren
'•7 responded that the facility is inspected quarterly, is followed on a
18 weekly basis by licensed home care personnel and has twenty-four hour
'a Ck
answering service for nursing assistance.
20
21 Mayor Ranallo observed it would have been helpful if residents of
22 St. Anthony and staff had been able to get some information on this
23 residence as it was being built. Councilmember Enrooth. agreed and
24 suggested the owners alter their methods when dealing with communities.
�5 He noted that since this is a business they should make some effort
26 in the area of public relations. Councilmember. Makowske suggested that
�7 as new neighbors they should have introduced themselves.
28
�9 Councilmember Marks referred to an on-going problem being experienced
30 by group homes , that being ; one of concentration. He noted that State
31 officials took pressure off the local officials by passing laws on
32 the state level and set some uniformity of standards for group homes.
33 Councilmember Marks feels the group home will be a real resource for
34 the community and that diversity is an asset to any neighborhood.
35
36 B. Council Reports
37
38 Councilmember Enrooth reported that his attendance at the recent
39 League of Minnesota Cities Annual Conference was very beneficial .
40 He noted that this Conference had the largest attendance of any
41 annual conference and was the first group to use the new facility
J42 in Duluth. He felt the facility was very impressive and the sessions
43 for the conference were very good.
44
�6 Mayor Ranallo also attended the League of Minnesota Cities annual
47 conference in Duluth. During one of the sessions he learned of a
48 weekly memo from the City Manager to the Council . He felt this
49 practice may be helpful for St. Anthony Council and also requested
that a calendar of upcoming events in the City be included. •

"� lr Council Meeting
JU-)e 26, 1990
• page 11
1
Councilmember Marks noted that a number of the City's crosswalks
2 need painting badly and there are some crosswalks whose markings
are almost unseeable. He felt if they were painted as early in the
year as possible this may allow for another painting late in the fall .
5
U The City Manager noted that painting of some of the crosswalks was missed
7 last year. To do the painting the City crews need a constant temperature
A of 55 degrees and no rain.
9
10 Councilmember Marks had received a call regarding the foot bridge
11 at Mirror Lake. The caller indicated that the bridge appears to be
12 off its footings. The City Manager advised that one of the footings
13 has settled when the frost left the ground. Crews are working on this
i4 now and on the approach to the foot bridge as well .
15
t6 Councilmember Marks observed that the fence erected to prevent people
17 from using the foot bridge is down and the approach has sunk down as
18 well . The City Manager responded that the ground has been too wet to
19 drive a truck into the area for the repair.
20
21 Councilmember Makowske advised she had attended the John Carver Work-
22 shop and distributed copies of her notes from the Workshop to members
23 of the City Council .
. 24
25 She and Councilmember Wagner attended the Ramsey County League of
26 Local Government ' s program which addressed the D.A.R.E . Program.
27 She cited some of the speakers at the program.
28
29 The City Manger and the Police Chief attended the League' s meeting
30 which addressed the Ramsey County Charter. Councilmember Makowske
31 noted that Ramsey County League of Local Government chooses not to
32 take a position on the Charter until it receives input from City
33 Councils of those cities located in Ramsey County. The City Manager
34 advised a member of the Commission would like to make a ten minute
35 presentation regarding the Ramsey County Charter.
36
37 Councilmember Makowske attended the Regional Transit Board meeting .
38 The new lift buses were demonstrated and Councilmember Makowske rode
39 on one of the buses. Each bus holds two passengers and it takes about
40 two to three minutes for a passenger to board via the lift .
41
42 Councilmember Makowske spoke to the Chair of the Regional Transit Board
43 and a member of the Metropolitan Transit Commission regarding service
44 in the City. She stated her intention to meet with these representatives
u, transit affairs again to discuss the needs of St. Anthony residents
46 in the area of public transportation.
47
48 Councilmember Makowske attended the St . Anthony/New Brighton Community
49 Service Group meeting . She noted that this group is seeking input
50 and ideas to make their programs more effective.
Regular Council Meeting
June 26, 1990
page 12 •
1 Councilmember Makowske attended a Youth Service Bureau meeting last
2 week. She noted that being added to their regular services is an
3 adolescent health care center which will be located in Roseville.
4
5 Mayor Ranallo advised that Auto Trac on 37th Avenue and Silver Lake
6 Road is requesting a special sign which will remain up for ninety
7 days. He noted that the St. Anthony Shopping Center is making a
8 similar request . The Mayor inquired if the Councilmembers felt
9 these requests should go before the Planning Commission .
10
11 Councilmember Marks was of the opinion these requests should be
12 considered by the Planning Commission but the Council should be
13 kept apprised of what the Planning Commission' s position is on
14 each request .
15
16 Mayor Ranallo felt the reason for these requests was for more
17 visibility. Councilmember Enrooth agreed noting that business
18 is down which is a reflection of the economy.
19
20 The Mayor advised the Council that the residents of Autumn Woods
21 have indicated their intention to establish a memorial to Bob
22 Sundland in the form of a tree planted in his memory.
23
24 Mayor Ranallo attended the recent meeting of the St. Anthony Chamber •
25 of Commerce Board of Directors . He noted the Chamber ' s members are
26 interested in participating in the Village Fest. The Chamber is holding
27 a golf tournament on July 20th, the first day of the Village Fest ,
28 and has requested contributions to the tournament .
29
30 The Mayor noted that at the last Iea1sIative session approval for
31 Councilmembers to participate in the City' s deferred compensation
32 plan was given. The Mayor suggested if there were any Council -
33 members interested in participating they should contact the City' s
34 Finance Director.
35
36 Mayor Ranallo has received phone calls regarding a compost pile in
37 the City. He requested the Assistant to the City Manager to write
38 an article addressing this matter for the next City newsletter.
39
40 A Council work session is scheduled for July 3rd at 7:00 p.m. .
41
42 The City Manager showed the Council some of the handout materials
43 he received at the D .A.R.E . meeting. He advised that he and the
44 Police Chief will be discussing the D .A.R.E . program with civic
L; groups with the intention of receiving support for the program.
46 There will be a tent at the Village Fest with D.A.R.E . materials
47 and information regarding the program.
48
49 The City Manager advised that the room in the City Hall building
50 designated as a meeting room is ready for occupancy , but the City
regular Council Meeting
June 26, 1990
page 13
1 Manager was soliciting input from the Council regarding placement
2 of the room' s furnishings .
3
4 The Mayor suggested that Counci ]members go through their files in
5 this room and remove any material no longer needed.

18
19 A. A letter was received from John Cape] ] , Chief Administrator of the
20 Metropolitan Transit Commission (MTC) .
21
22 The letter addressed the reinstituted policy of the MTC regarding bus
23 shelters. For a number of years the MTC has not been installing bus
24 shelters and is now requesting input from various communities re-
25 garding their suggestions for placement of bus shelters.
26
27 The Council discussed various locations which should be considered for
28 a bus shelter and reviewed those presently in place. It was noted that
29 the MTC will install the shelter, but the City must supply the pad for
30 the shelter and maintenance.
31
32 Councilmember Marks suggested the Council not make any final decisions
33 for placement of bus shelters until the re-routing in the City is
34 complete.
35

44 C. Proposals to provide feasibility studies for a storm sewer system
Lc a sanitary sewer system
46
47 At a previous Council meeting the City Manager had been requested
43 to seek additional proposals for feasibility studies. He felt
49 this was a very good suggestion in that three consulting firms
53 responded.
r,;:gular Council Meeting
June 26, 1990
page 15
1 Putnam Consultants submitted a proposal and the City Manager noted
2 the price quoted was t-he lowest of the three received . The City
Manager felt the consultant from Putnam was a very good communicator
4 and has invited him to attend the next Council work session.
5
U The second proposal was received from Rieke Carroll Muller Associates
7 Inc. The City Manager noted that this firm did the study in 1988 and
the Public Works Director indicated he is very comfortable with this
9 firm's work.
10
11 Councilmember Enrooth observed that RCM is very good in hydrology and
12 has supplied credentials.
13
i4 The City Manager noted that the costs submitted by Barr Engineering
15 were very high.
16
i7 Mayor Ranallo felt the firms should definitely supply references. He
18 also stated the City needs someone who can explain the study in a
113 fashion understandable by everyone. Councilmember Enrooth stated
20 he is not impressed with RCM.
21
22 Councilmember Makowske inquired if the City Attorney had reviewed the
�3 proposal . She was advised that it had been drafted by the City Attorney.
24
�5 D. Water Committee Meeting
26
�7 This meeting was attended by approximately seventy five people out
28 of a possible five hundred. The Mayor felt it was an excellent
�9 meeting and much positive information was presented and discussed.
30
31 Some of the suggestions made by residents to deal with water problems
32 included having sandbags available in the maintenance yard , pumps to
33 assist in removing water from homes and property, and make available
34 the use of self-generating pumps if there is a power failure.
35
36 Upon reflecting on what transpired during the most recent heavy rain ,
37 members of the Council felt a written , formal policy should be drafted
38 for use by the Police Department , Fire Department and Public Works
39 Department . This plan of action should address what each department
40 should be expected to do when responding to water problems.
41
42 It was noted that many of the attendees at the meeting viewed this
43 action by the Council as a positive one.

Tom Burt, City Manager

St. Anthony, MN 55418
Dear Mr. Burt,
Thank you for allowing the Ramsey County Charter Commission to
appear before the St. Anthony City Council at their regular
meeting on July 10, 1990 at 7:30 p.m. Enclosed are fifteen
copies of the proposed Charter, fact sheets, and Council
Resolution of support of our educational efforts for
distribution to the Council and staff prior to the meeting.
We will have a short slide presentation (8-10 minutes) and a
Charter Commission member, Bob Beutel, will be present to answer
any questions the Council members may have. We would then ask
that the Council pass a Resolution urging city residents to
become informed and vote on the Charter question in the November
election. The Charter Commission would welcome a resolution of
support for the Charter, but as a non-partisan Commission whose
role is to educate the public, we cannot advocate for support.
This Resolution would then be sent to the local newspaper to
begin the public educational campaign.
We will also ask for an in-kind contribution to be worked out
with staff. This would take the form of distribution of our
fact sheet through a City newsletter or making information
available to the public at a licensing desk or similar outlet.
The volunteers of the Ramsey County Charter Commission have
spent over two years creating this document for the people of
Ramsey County and appreciate your assistance in bringing this
important issue to them for their consideration on the
November 6, 1990 ballot. Thank you becoming a part of this
historic event.
Sincerely,
Judy S.;"Grant

RAMSEY COUNTY CHARTER COMMISSION
356 COURT HOUSE
15 WEST KELLOGG Bot-LEVARD
SAINT PAUL, 1%ur:vEsoTA 55102
298-4111
This is the first home rule charter ever written for a county in the
history of Minnesota. Some cities have home, rule charters; they serve
as a constitutional blueprint and allow more decisions to be made at the
local level by elected officials. This is the first time the State
Legislature has allowed a county to draft a charter, and the voters will
decide on adopting this county constitution at the November 6, 1990
general election.
Vhat vill the Charter change?
1. It will give the people the power to pass ordinances
by Initiative, to vote on existing ordinances by
Referendum, and to Recall irresponsible elected
officials. A valid petition for these actions
requires a specified percentage of the voters to sign
the petition; currently this number in Ramsey County
would be 23,500;
2. It provides for professional management which will
lead to greater efficiency and effective use of county
resources. Currently, the professional form of
management can be changed by a vote of four county
board members;
3. It gives limited bonding authority with increased
citizen participation through public hearings;
4. It provides for more direct citizen participation in
decisions regarding park land transfers;
5. It requires coordination of county activities with
local units of government but does not change any
powers local governments currently have; and
6. It allows the voters to change and amend the Charter
to reflect changing needs in our society.
The Charter recognizes that many things are working well in the county
and has included these in the charter framework. In addition, some
things will not change.
Vhat vill not change?
1. County Commissioners will be elected by districts for
staggered terms;
2. - The Sheriff and County Attorney will continue to be
elected positions;
3. The powers of cities or other local governments will
not be affected; and
4. Personnel policies will continue to be governed by
state law.
This historic Charter is the result of two years of research, public
input, and drafting and re-drafting by a group of civic volunteers who
serve on the Ramsey County Charter Commission. The Commission was
created by the state legislature and the members were selected by
district court judges. They represent all areas of the county and have
had considerable experience in service to their communities. This is a
document written for the people of Ramsey County by the people of Ramsey
County.
Adoption of the Charter will be on the November 6, 1990 ballot. If you
would like more information or would like a speaker with a short slide
presentation to explain the Charter to your group, call the Ramsey County
Charter Commission office at 298-4111.

COMPANY PHILOSOPHY
At Putnam Consultants , the primary goal is to provide clients with
quality service by working hard to design and develop solutions that
are practical and cost effective . Too many consultants will assign a
relative inexperienced engineer to manage a project or provide daily
engineering services to clients , especially municipalities , and will
only have their principals become involved if a problem arises . In
fact , the principals usually form the real backbone of a consulting
firm ' s expertise and should be involved in the daily , continuous
service to the clients . At Putnam Consultants , the principal will be
doing the design and will personally review all work performed .
This approach is the only way to assure the clients that the project
is getting the attention that results in quality design that you
deserve .

Mr. Larry Hamer
Director of Public Works
City of St. Anthony
3301 Silver Lake Road
St. Anthony, Minnesota 55418
Dear Mr. Hamer:
Barr Engineering Co. is pleased to present this proposal for evaluating
a diversion option to reduce the risk of flooding in Drainage District No. 6
in the City of St. Anthony. It is our understanding that you wish to
evaluate the feasibility of a pumped diversion to the City of Minneapolis to
relieve flooding along 29th Street and other . areas within Drainage
District 6. This option was not included in the 1988 RCM Report. The work
would be completed in three phases.
• Phase 1 - Prepare for June 25th Public Meeting.
Prior to the public meeting Barr will contact the City of Minneapolis to
determine whether the City of Minneapolis is willing to consider permitting
diversion of stormwater from St. Anthony into the Minneapolis system. This
preliminary contact will determine whether additional expenditures for the
preparation of a more detailed feasibility report are warranted. Barr will
also conduct a historic review of pumping station costs to determine whether
the capital expenditures associated with this option offer a significant
savings over the options discussed in the 1988 RCM Report. The conclusions
of the Phase I work will be summarized in a letter delivered on or before
June 25th; the cost for this phase of work is expected to be approximately
$800. 00.
Phase II - Feasibility Analysis
If the City of St. Anthony feels the results of Phase I suggest that a
more detailed feasibility analysis is warranted, Barr will prepare a
preliminary design and cost estimate for the storm sewer modifications
pumping station and force main. The existing storm sewer system will be
evaluated to determine the impact of the diversion on the operation of the
existing storm system and the ability of the modified system to significantly
decrease the risk of flooding problems now being experienced. During this
phase of work, continued discussions with the City of Minneapolis are
anticipated as is attendance at one council meeting and one public hearing.
The cost for the Phase II effort is expected to be approximately $7,900.00.
Mr. Larry Hamer June 18, 1990 Page 2 •
Phase III - Preparation of Plans and Specifications
Based upon an assumed project cost of $400,000.00, total engineering
fees might be expected to be in the range of $34,000.00. Based on this
assumption, and until the scope of the project and services are better
defined, we estimate that the cost of the Phase III work, including
assistance with bid evaluation would be approximately $25,000.00.
We propose to do the work with a time and expenses contract; total fees
would not exceed the amount to which we had previously agreed for each of the
phases. We have completed several projects of this type, where remedial
upgrades of existing storm sewer systems were necessary to provide local,
cost-effective relief. I anticipate that the person who might be assigned to
this work would include myself, Steven Klein, and Randy Peterson. All three
of us have applicable experience in remedial storm sewer improvements,
pumping stations, and municipal utilities. Resumes are attached. Of course,
we also have access to the experience of many other staff members with
similar experience. All of Barr' s 150 person staff are located in our local
office.
Thank you for this opportunity to serve the City. Please contact me
with any questions that you may have. Barr looks forward to an opportunity
to participate with the City of St. Anthony in reducing your District 6
drainage problems. I am returning your copies of the storm sewer and •
sanitary sewer studies prepared by RCM for the District 6 and Wilson Street
areas.
