Pete Sampair, 935 Park Avenue, Mahtomedi
Councilmember Juenemann moved to adopt the following resolution for the adoption of the

RESOLUTION 06-09-120
ADJUSTMENTS TO ASSESSMENT ROLL
WHEREAS, pursuant to a resolution adopted by the City Council on September 11, 2006, the
assessment roll for the Gervais Avenue Street & Storm Assessments, City Project 05-17, was
presented in a Public Hearing format, pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 429, and
WHEREAS, two property owners filed an objection to their assessment according to the
requirements of Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 429, summarized as follows:
1. Peter Sampair, Chief Manager of Viking Drive LLC: Lot at the southeast corner of the
intersection of Gervais Avenue and Maplewood Drive, 1111 Viking Drive E (PIN
092922420008): Mr. Sampair disagrees with the assessment and objects on the basis that the
property value will not increase by the amount of the assessment.
2. Dharmendra B Bhakta, Owner: Second lot west of the northwest corner of the
intersection of Gervais Avenue and Maplewood Drive, 0 Gervais Avenue (PIN 092922130012):
Mr. Bhakta objects to the assessment that has been applied to his lot and is requesting deferral
of the assessment until the lot is developed because it would cause a financial hardship.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF MAPLEWOOD,
MINNESOTA:
A. That the City Engineer and City Clerk are hereby instructed to make the following
adjustments to the assessment roll for the Gervais Avenue Street & Storm Assessments, Projec
05-17:
Peter Sampair, Chief Manager of Viking Drive LLC: Lot at the southeast corner of the
intersection of Gervais Avenue and Maplewood Drive, 1111 Viking Drive E (PIN
092922420008): Deny cancellation of assessment. Assessments are levied to properties
abutting improvement areas in order to ease the general tax levy. Requesting cancellation of a
developed commercial site on the basis that the street improvement will not increase the
property value by the assessment dollar amount does not meet the criteria for cancellation.
Furthermore, street improvements have been shown to increase property value and spur local
re -development.
1. Dharmendra B Bhakta, Owner: Second lot west from the northwest corner of the
intersection of Gervais Avenue and Maplewood Drive, 0 Gervais Avenue (PIN 092922130012):
Grant deferral of assessment, without interest, until such time property is developed, subject to
a signed agreement by the property owner. If the property is not developed within 15 years from
the date of the assessment hearing, the deferred assessment shall be cancelled.
City Council Meeting 09-25-06
B. The assessment roll for the Gervais Avenue Street & Storm Assessments, as amended,
is hereby accepted, a copy of which is attached hereto and made a part hereof. Said
assessment roll shall constitute the assessment against the lands named therein, and each
tract of land therein included is hereby found to be benefited by the proposed improvement in
the amount of the assessment levied against it.
C. Such assessments shall be payable in equal annual installments extending over a period
of 15 years, the first installments to be payable on or before the first Monday in January 2007
and shall bear interest at the rate of 5.9 percent per annum for the date of the adoption of this
assessment resolution. To the first installment shall be added interest on the entire assessment
from the date of this resolution until December 31, 2006. To each subsequent installment when
due shall be added interest for one year on all unpaid installments.
D. The owner of any property so assessed may, at any time prior to certification of the
assessment to the county auditor, but no later than November 1, 2006, pay the whole of the
assessment on such property, with interest accrued to the date of the payment, to the office of
the city engineer, except that no interest shall be charged if the entire assessment is paid within
30 days from the adoption of this resolution; and they may, at any time after November 1, 2006,
pay to the county auditor the entire amount of the assessment remaining unpaid, with interest
accrued to December 31 of the year in which such payment is made. Such payment must be
made before November 15 or interest will be charged through December 31 of the next
succeeding year.
E. The city engineer and city clerk shall forthwith after November 1, 2006, but no later than
November 15th, 2006, transmit a certified duplicate of this assessment to the county auditor to
be extended on the property tax lists of the county. Such assessments shall be collected and

Rush Line Corridor
Councilmember Rossbach provided an update from the recent Rush Line Corridor meeting
which included the 2007 budget and studies on routes and modes of transportation. Mr.
Rossbach wanted to be sure everyone understood that the county trail systems
(i.e. Vento Trail) are transportation corridors owned by Ramsey County Regional Rail Authority
and could potentially be used for other forms of transit other than bike trails.
City Council Meeting 09-25-06
2. Police Assault Report
Councilmember Hjelle stated that he has been informed that he did not assault a Maplewood
Police Officer and added that the statement by Fire Fighter Union Representative Mike
Stockstead was simply a lie.
3. Fire Fighters Union Contract
Councilmember Hjelle informed council that the Fire Fighters Union has not submitted a labor
contract proposal as of yet and asked Interim City Manger Copeland what provisions have been
made if the firefighters simply walk -out. Mr. Copeland stated that a walk -out would clearly be in
violation of their contract and would like to think Mr. Stockstead was not serious about his threat
and, being essential personnel, the firefighters would not withdraw their services unilaterally.
4. Bureau of Mediation Services Meeting
Councilmember Hjelle thanked Mr. Copeland for supporting and not opposing department
managers and other staff in the formation of a union bargaining unit. He further commended
him for not wasting further tax money on such an enterprise and that if the Department
Managers and various staff want to form a labor union, and be considered, treated,
compensated and paid like labor, that is their right and the city should not oppose their wishes.
5. Newspaper Article
Councilmember Cave wanted to go on record that she does not have a strong dislike for Kelly &
Fawcett as was printed in a recent newspaper article. Ms. Cave did not support paying the firm
from a contract that was signed between former City Manager Fursman and Patrick Kelly but
not agreed upon by council. Mr. Rossbach responded to the newspaper article saying "he
stated his personal belief which he has a right to state."
6. Attendance at Meetings
Mayor Longrie commended and thanked Mr. Copeland for attending recent Parks and
Recreation Commission and Historical Preservation meetings. The Mayor relayed from
commissioners that his attendance was well received and appreciated.

City Council Meeting 09-25-06
Mayor, City Council members, Mr Ahl and other members in attendance:
I am addressing you tonite on behalf of many residents of the neighborhood bordered by
Rosewood, Kennard, Maryknoll and Harris.
We are in agreement and would be grateful for a stop sign to slow traffic on the
Kennard/Maryknoll/Rosewood intersection.
We would also be in agreement with Mr Keller's request to move the "No Parking" signs
currently on the north side to the south side of Harris, however we are here to express our
concerns relative to that request so a permanent, written record is created should future
concerns arise. Our concerns are:
0
1. Mr Keller agrees not park any of his vehicles on the street overnight, after dusk or
before dawn, or for more than 4 hours on the street.
2. Mr Keller park no more than one vehicle at a time on the street.
3. Mr Keller park the vehicle only on the straightaway of Harris and not directly
obscuring traffic near his driveway entrance. This is a safety issue and a concern
of many neighbors attempting to view oncoming traffic as they are approaching
the curve of Harris. Mr Keller currently parks directly across from his driveway.
4. Mr Keller park his vehicles fully and completely onto his driveway, without the
tail end of any vehicle or trailer remaining partially in the street. ;
5. Mr Keller agrees to park no more than 1 automobile, 1 pickup truck, 1 jffwA4=w ✓,e.-pt6bK s
and 1 boat on his property, and that he continues to use rental space or other
offsite locations to park trailers, dump trucks or any additional vehicles or
implements he purchases.
6. That the City Council will agree that, with no less than three calls in one day from
neighbors in the area to the police reporting a violation of the above, that the City
Council will, at the least, review the parking violation issues, or place "No
Parking" signs on both sides of Harris. We request this addition because Mr
Keller has physically threatened the elderly neighbors, the teenage children of the
neighborhood and myself with bodily harm. We would prefer to be able to
address issues personally with Mr Keller, but he has been unable to control his
temper or have any neighbor disagree with him without threats to their personal
safety, thus we find it necessary to air our concerns in this public arena and to call
the Maplewood Police Dept whenever we attempt to resolve our concerns.
7. That the City of Maplewood approve a permit request by Mr Keller should he
consider an additional driveway on the west end of his property (also on the
straightaway I previously mentioned), within the City ordinance restrictions and
within the guidelines we've requested.
Many Qf the neighbors in this neighborhood have been here 30 + years and we have
always been able to resolve our differences without resorting to the police or publicly
addressing the issues. We are a cooperative, constantly evolving group of varying
ages, race and beliefs. We all regret that, as a result of one new neighbor forcing his
will upon the neighborhood, that it is necessary to be standing here requesting these
guidelines. Thank you for the time you gave me to express our views.
