E. PUBLIC HEARINGS

F. AWARDING OF BIDS
1. McKnight Road Sanitary Sewer and Watermain, Linwood to Highwood
a. Acting Manager Blank stated bids were opened for the project August 30, 1978.
The low bid is 15.1% over the original construction cost estimate of $145,000.00.
The watermain is assessed on a flat rate, and would therefore remain unchanged as
a result of the higher bid price. At the public hearing, sanitary sewer was pro-
posed to be assessed at the rate of $28.95 per front foot. The complexity of the
sewer construction and the ability to assess only one side of the project resulted
in a higher than normal rate of assessment. A substantial increase in the proposed
assessment rate would require rehearing the project and would result in an extremely
high assessment. Staff recommends that the assessment rate remain as proposed,
with the additional $12,546.23 as part of the City Share.
Staff recommends the contract be awarded to the low bidder, Orfei and Sons, Inc.
in the amount of $166,899.90.
b. A representative from Schoell and Madson explained the project.
c. Councilman Wiegert introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption
78 -9 -176
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF MAPLEWOOD, MINNESOTA, that the bid of
Orfei and Sons, Inc. in the amount of $166,899.89 is the lowest responsible bid
for the construction of sanitary sewer and watermain in McKnight Road from Highwood
Avenue to Linwood Avenue, ant the Mayor and Clerk are hereby authorized and directed
to enter into a contract with said bidder for and on behalf of the City.

Seconded by Councilman Fontaine. Ayes - all.
2. Street Opening - Lydia Avenue, Furness Court
a. Acting Manager Blank stated bids were received on September 5, 1978 for im-
provements to open Lydia Avenue, east of Ariel Street and place the final surface
course on Furness Court.
Final plans and specifications and authorization to let bids were approved May 18,
1978, on the above project plus the opening of Beam Avenue, west of Frederick
Street. Staff has been unable to acquire rights -of -entry on the Beam Avenue portion
of the project in a manner timely enough to allow completion during this construction
season. Staff therefore recommends that the City proceed with the Lydia Avenue
and Furness Court portion of the project.
At the time of the original decision to open the east -west routes, the Council
indicated a desire to open Bean Avenue, Lydia Avenue and Radatz Avenue at the same
time, in an effort not to burden any one street with traffic. On June 5, 1978, the
Council authorized the opening of the Radatz Avenue /White Bear Avenue intersection
to westbound movement to help alleviate the traffic problems associated with the
McKnight Road construction. It is assumed that the neighborhoods affected by the
previous opening of Radatz and the opening of Lydia will be concerned that the City
follows through with its intent to distribute the traffic by opening all links.
The acquisition of the right -of -entry on Beam Avenue has been turned over to the City
Attorney and staff anticipates the Beam Avenue project will be carried out in the
spring of 1979.
b. Mayor Greavu introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
78 -9 -177
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF MAPLEWOOD, MINNESOTA, that the bid of
Ashbach Construction in the amount of $51,189.45 is the lowest responsible bid
for the improvements to open Lydia Avenue, east of Ariel Street and place the final
surface course on Furness Court, and the Mayor and Clerk are hereby authorized
and directed to enter into a contract with said bidder for and on behalf of the
City.

of bikers. It is important to keep bikes off the courts because their kick
stands will leave holes in the asphalt on hot days. Staff suggests the Council
authorize the purchase of seven bike racks at a total cost of $1,500. We have
money for this purchase in our Commercial PAC Funds.
The Park Commission approved this purchase at their August 14th meeting.
2. Councilman Wiegert moved to authorize staff to purchase seven bike racks

1. Acting Manager Blank stated the 1978 Park budget includes $6,000 for im-
provements at Gethsemane Park. These improvements are for a parking lot, patio,
sidewalk, trees, shrubs, sod, etc. The bids on the work have been running
higher than anticipated. Therefore, we recommend the Council authorize the
expenditures of $2,000 out of the Beaver Lake PAC account to complete this pro-
ject.
The Park and Recreation Commission at their regular meeting of August 14th
approved this expenditure.
2. Mayor Greavu moved to authorize an expenditure of $2,000 from the Beaver
Lake PAC account to complete the Gethsemane Park improvements. (1978 Park

CITY OF MAPLEWOOD, MINiNESOTA
MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Acting City Manager
SUBJECT: Street Vacation
LOCATION: Barclay Street, Between Laurie Road and Cope Avenue
APPLICANT: James G. Liptak
DATE: September 14, 1978
Request
The applicant is requesting approval of a street vacation for Barclay Street,
between Laurie Road and Cope Avenue.
Existing Land Use
The right -of -way is undeveloped, except for a well worn pedestrian trail and a
gravel drive to the garage at 1486 Cope Avenue.
Surrounding Land Uses
The surrounding properites are developed with single dwelling homes.
Past Actions
1. A proposed street vacation for the undeveloped portion of Barclay, between
Lark Avenue and Cope Avenue, was denied on July 19, 1973.
2. The request was denied because the vacation would "limit Village alternatives
and future design of storm sewers and limits what is now a public thoroughfare
of sorts ".
Planning Considerations
1. The zoning surrounding the subject street is R -1, Single Family Residential.
2. The Comprehensive Plan has designated that this area develop as RL, Low Density
Residential.
3. Section 412.851 of State Statutes states that, "The Council may by resolution
vacate any street, alley, public grounds, public way, or any part thereof,
.on its own motion or on petition of a majority of the owners of land abutting
on the street, alley, public grounds, public way, or part thereof to be vacated.
When there has been no petition, the resolution may be adopted only by a vote
of four - fifths of all members of the Council. No such vacation shall be made
unless it appears in the interest of the public to do so after a hearing pre-
ceded by two weeks' published and posted notice. After a resolution of vacation
is adopted, the clerk shall prepare a notice of completion of the proceedings
which shall contain the name of the city, an identification of the vacation, a
statement of the time of completion thereof and a description of the real
1
�3i,.
estate and lands.affected thereby. The notice shall be presented to the County
auditor who shall enter the same in his transfer records and note upon the
instrument, over his official signature, the words "entered in the transfer
record." The notice shall then be filed with the county recorder. Any failure
to file the notice shall not invalidate any such vacation proceedings."
Public Works Considerations
1. The undeveloped stretch of Barclay, between Cope Avenue and Laurie Road, is not
needed for traffic circulation.
2. There is a water main in the Barclay Street right -of -way, between Lark Avenue
and Laurie Road. A 30 foot utility easement should be retained for maintenance
of the water line or installation of a future storm sewer.
P ublic Safeiy Considerations
1. If the street is vacated, steps should be taken to eliminate the existing curb
cuts to prevent potential accidents and "Short- cutting" of traffic.
2. The Director of Public Safety recommends that dead end barricades be erected.
The Director of Public Works feels that the curbing will be adequate and
barricades are unnecessary. This would then become a standard "T" inter-
section. Curbing would be installed by the City.
Analysis
Staff feels that Barclay Street should be vacated between Laurie Road and Cope
- Avenue for the following reasons::
1. Barclay Street is not needed for transportation purposes. Hazelwood Street
and Birmingham Street provide adequate through traffic between County Road B
- and Cope Avenue;
2. To develop Barclay Street as an improved roadway would not be feasible. The
properties abutting it are corner lots and would receive only a marginal side
lot assessment for the improvements.
In vacating this two block piece of Barclay Street, the City should retain a 30
foot walkway and utility easement. The utility easement is needed, because of a
water line buried under Barclay Street, between Laurie Road and Lark Avenue. There
is no immediate plans for storm drainage on Barclay Street between Laurie Road and
Cope Avenue. The easement would give us the fexibility to install it in the future
-if -the need would arise. The walkway 'easement is needed to allow pedestrian access
between homes on the north side of Cope Avenue and homes to the south. There is a
well worn path that attests to the need for this easement. Since State law requires
that no vacation shall be made, unless in the public interest, the above easement
should be retained. This easement should resolve the objections made in the 1973
denial. Barclay Street, although unimproved, is denoted by curb cut openings on
Cope Avenue, Lark Avenue, and Laurie Road. For traffic safety reasons, the City
Will eliminate these and continue curbing across the street openings.
.,..
2
Reconumendat•i on
Approval to'vacate Barclay Street, between Laurie Road and Cope Avenue, based on
there being no public need to develop it as a public thoroughfare as outlined in
the Analysis section above and subject to the City retaining a 30 foot walkway
and utility easement

July 13, 1978
Mr. Geoff Olson
City of haplewood
yaplewood, Minnesota
Dear Mr. Olson:
The following are the reasons we are requesting the
property be vacated:
1. The property is a hazard to adjoining
property oi-mers as iaell as sore of the
children that play in the area.
2. Both teenagers and adults use it to
dump beer cans and trash which also finds
its way into our yard as well as the
adjoining families.
3. We intend to build a double garas - e
adjoining our house w high at present
cannot be done unless the said property
is vacated.
All arrangements have been made to upgrade the
property pending the city's approval.
Sincerely yours,
Marianne (Shortridge) Liptak
rr
Secretary Olson said yes and he does agree to the rezoning.
Commissioner Pellish asked if the owner to the west should also join in
the petition or present his petition for a zone change so it would not have
to be reviewed again by the Commission.
Secretary Olson said the zone change for the property, 1111 E. County Road
C, is initiated by Staff, therefore it is not necessary for that owner to
submit a separate application. The public hearing notice would include both
parcels for zone change.
Commissioner Howard
Residential of those Darts of 1111 E. Countv Road C and 11
be
,prope rties.
Commissioner Pellish seconded Ayes all.
9. OLD BUSINE
A. Street Vacation - Barclay Street (Liptak)
Secretary Olson said the applicant is requesting approval of vacation of
Barclay Street from Laurie Road to Cope Avenue. The Commission previously
reviewed a request for vacation of just a portion of this street, 130 to 133
feet of right -of -way from Laurie Road north. The Commission at that time
asked the applicant to expand on his petition to Cope Avenue. There is
presently a well worn pedestrian trail across the right -of -way. Staff
is recommending vacation of the street, subject to retaining a 30 foot
walkway- utility easement.
Jim Liptak, 1487 E. Laurie Road, said he started the petition. He did
researched with the State of Minnesota as to proposals for Hazelwood and
traffic flow projected through 1983. He said they have no specific studies
proposed until after 1983. In 1970 or 1973 there was a brief study done on
the possible location of an interchange at Hazelwood and Highway 36. The
plan that was approved at that time was to have a bridge constructed
over Highway 36 for Hazelwood. This would not be constructed prior to 1990's.
Therefore, traffic flow will not be affected by vacation of this portion of
Barclay Street. The idea of this petition was to get away from the nuisance
that exists with the walkway. They have also been maintaining the property.
Raymond Robertson, 1470 Lark, said he wished the vacation of the street
to keep cars from driving through. There have also been motorcycles going
through. He has also had a problem with vandalism. He thought if a
walkway would be installed, the problem would still exist.
Shirley Linanski, 1486 Cope, said she would also like the street
vacated.
Dennis Peterson, 1480 Lark, said he would like to see the vacation
approved. lie has had vandalism at his property.
Mr. Liptak said he did talk with Owens Family and other families, they
also wish the vacation approved.
2
.Chairman Prow asked if the petitioners p Nperty all abut Barclay Street
right -of -way
Mr. Liptak said yes, the only person that has not signed is a Mr. Doyle
who owns a vacant lot. Ile said the petitioners do not want the walkway as
there will still be a problem with policing and maintenance.
Secretary Olson described for the petitioners what type of walkway was
recommended in the DeMars Plat when they vacated a portion of Arkwright
Street. There is no planned walkway for the Barclay area now, if there is
a walkway easement, it would have to be left open for pedestrian access.
Commissioner Howard asked if the City have thought of installing posts
to prevent vehicular traffic from going through.
Secretary Olson said yes, in the DeMars Plat a post was installed to
discourage traffic. There would be curbing installed which would also
discourage traffic.
Mr. Liptak said if a walkway is constructed as outlined by Mr. Olson,
he would not object to that type.
Commissioner Pellish i1Wed _the Planni Comm ission recommend t o the
B. Preliminary Plat, PUD, Street and Alley Vacations - English Manor
(AR -MON Properties)
Secretary Olson.said the applicant is requesting approval of a planned
unit development, preliminary plat and vacation of several streets and
alleys to develop the property in the area of English Street and County
Road B. The property is located both on the north and south sides of
County Road 13. The project would consist of 12 double bungalows and
12 four- plexes or a total of 72 units. The proposed development would not
exceed the densities of the Comprehensive Plan as it is calculated to be
14.7 people per acres. Staff is recommending approval of the preliminary
plat subject to the conditions outlined in their report. Street and alley
vacations are to be approved if the final plat is approved. Planned
Unit Development is also recommended for approval if the final plat
is approved
Commissioner Howard asked if there should be a sidewalk along the
east side of Clarence and County Road B to provide safety for school
children.
Secretary Olson said it has not been practice to put a sidewalk on
a local type street with low traffic. The Transportation Plan is to
outline where sidewalks should be installed for pedestrian safety.
Commission Howard said he thought rather than the fourplex at English
and County Road 13 it should be a double bungalow to provide a better
transition to the single family adjacent to it.

Re ugest
Mayor and City Council

Zone Change (M -1 to R -1)
11'17 E. County Road C
Leon Mills
September 14, 1978
The applicant is requesting approval to rezone a portion of his property presently
zoned 11 -1, Light Industrial to R -1, Single Family Residential. Staff is requesting
that the small 11-1 zoned portion of the adjacent lot to the west also be rezoned to
R -1.
Existing Land Use
1. There are two parcels involved. Each is occupied with a single family dwelling.
2. The subject parcels are deep lots measuring 70 by 1284 feet and have lot areas
of 2.07 acres each.
Proposal
1. The applicant is proposing to change the zoning of the southerly end of his
property at 1117 E. County Road C from M -1 to R -1.
2. Staff is proposing that the southerly end of the parcel at 1111 County Road
C also be rezoned from M -1 to R -1.
Surrounding Development
Northerly: Undeveloped Land
Southerly: County Road C and Single Family dwellings
Easterly: Undeveloped land and Highway 61
Westerly: Single family dwellings
Planning Considerations
1. The southerly portions of both lots (the developed areas) are zoned M -1, Light
Industrial and R -1, Single Family Residential (see map). The remaining northerly
portions are zoned F, Farm Residential
2. The Comprehensive Land Use Plan designation for the portions of both lots proposed
for the rezoning is Rm, Medium Density Residential. The northerly portions
are designated as OS, Open Space.
3. The applicant is planning on building a garage on his property at 1117 E. County
i3oad C in the M -1 zoned area. Since residential uses are not permitted in an
M-1 zone, the applicant's dwelling is a nonconforming building and use.
4. Section 915.010 (11) of the City Code defines a nonconforming building
or use as, "A building or a use of land or of a building existing at the
effective date of this ordinance, which does not conform with the require-
ments of this ordinance, or a use authorized undero9ll hereof."
5. Section 912.010 (5) dealing with the extension
"No existing building or premises devoted to a
in which such building or premises is located,
order shall be enlarged, extended, reconstruct
altered unless the use thereof is changed to a
in which such building or premises is located,
of a nonconforming use states,
use not permitted in the district
except when required by law or
2d, substituted or structurally
use permitted in the district
except as provided herein."
6. The applicant, therefore, must get the M -1 zoned portion of his property
rezoned to R -1 in order to construct the new garage.
Analysis
The proposed rezoning is consistent: with the City's Land Use Plan and would
allow the applicant better use of his property. Staff is also recommending the
rezoning of the adjacent M -1 land to the west. To leave that small triangular
portion of land zoned M -1 would be contrary to the Comprehensive Plan and be
of no value as industrial property.
Recommendation
Approval of the proposed zone change from M -1 to R -1 for both of the subject parcels.

A. Zone Change (M-1 to R -1) -
1117 E. County Road C (Mills)
Secretary Olson said the applicant
is requesting approval to rezone a
portion of his property which
is zoned M -1, Light Manufacturing to R -1, Single
Family Residential. Staff is
requesting that the small M -1 zoned portion of
the adjacent property, 1111 E.
County Road C, also be rezoned to R -1. Both
parcels are presently occupied
with single family dwellings. Staff feels
the zone change would be in conformance
with the Comprehensive Plan, therefore,
recommend approval.
Mr. Mills said the owner to
the west, 1111 E. County Road C, does agree
to the rezoning of his parcel.
'Chairman Prew asked if the
owner of 1111 E: County Road C had been
contacted by the City.
........
Secretary Olson said yes and he does agree to the rezoning.
Commissioner Pellish asked if the owner to the west should also join in
the petition or present his petition for a zone change so it would not have
to be reviewed again by the Commission.
Secretary Olson said the zone change for the property, 1111 E. County Road
C, is initiated by Staff, therefore it is not necess ary for that owner to
submit a separate application. The public hearing notice would include both
parcels for.zone change.

A. Street Vacation - Barclay Street (Liptak)
Road C
Secretary Olson said the applicant is requesting approval of vacation of
Barclay Street from Laurie Road to Cope Avenue. The Commission previously
reviewed a request for vacation of just a portion of this street, 130 to 133
feet of right-of-way from Laurie Road north. The Commission at that time
asked the applicant to expand on his petition to Cope Avenue. There is
presently a well worn pedestrian trail across the right -of -way. Staff
is recommending vacation of the street, subject to retaining a 30 foot
walkway - utility easement.
Jim Liptak, 1487 E. Laurie Road, said he started the petition. He did
researched with the State of Minnesota as to proposals for Hazelwood and
traffic flow projected through 1983. lie said they have no specific studies
proposed until after 1983. Ln 1970 or 1973 there was a brief study done on
the possible location of an interchange at Hazelwood and Highway 36. The
plan that was approved at that time was to have a bridge constructed
over Highway 36 for Hazelwood. This would not be constructed prior to 1990's.
Therefore, traffic flow will not be affected by vacation of this portion of
Barclay Street. The idea of this petition was to get away from the nuisance
that exists with the walkway. They have also been maintaining the property.
Raymond Robertson, 1470 Lark, said he wished the vacation of the street
to keep cars from driving through. There have also been motorcycles going
through. He has also had a problem with vandalism. lie thought if a
walkway would be installed, the problem would still exist.
Shirley Linanski, 1486 Cope, said she would also like the street
vacated.
Dennis Peterson, 1480 Lark, said he would like to see the vacation
approved. He has had vandalism at his property.
Mr. Liptak said he did talk with Owens Family and other families, they
also wish the vacation approved.

Mayor and City Council
Acting City Manager
PUD, Preliminary Plat, and Street and Alley Vacations
English Street and County Road i3
AR -MON Properties, Inc.
English Manor
September 14, 1978
The Applicant is requesting approval of a planned unit development, preliminary plat,
and vacation of several streets and alleys.
Existin_ Land Use
1. The property proposed for development consists of 15.5 acres on the north and
south sides of County Road Q.
2. This land is platted into undeveloped streets, alleys, and substandard 40 foot
wide lots.
3. There are no existing structures on the property.
Propos
1. The project would consist of 12 double bungalows and 12 four - plexes or a total
of 72 units.
2. The double dwelling homes are planned at the northwest corner of the plat to
provide a transition for the existing house on the lot to the west.
3. The four - plexes are planned adjacent to the railroad tracks.
4. Most of the lots north of County Road 6 would get access from a proposed through
street, connecting English Street and County Road B. The new street would have
an "eye- brow" to serve the four -plex lots.
5. Each individual unit has its own lot. The remainder of the property is to be
owned and maintained by a homeowners' association. The rules and by -laws of
the association should be submitted to the City Attorney for approval before
final plat approval to insure that the property will be maintained.
G. The applicant plans to build the entire project. Plans for the four - plexes
will have to be approved by the City.
7. The City's Park and Open Space Plan shows a linear open space corridor along
the railroad tracks for a trail. This north -south trail has been redesigned
into the project through a 20 foot wide dedicated walkway. The developer
should be required to construct the walkways to standards approved by the
City Engineer.
1
8. A, public sidewalk should be constructed along the south side of County Road B,
adjacent to the applicant's property. Section 502.020 of the City Code states
that, "Sidewalks shall be placed near schools, heavily traveled areas, and other
'locations when approved by the Village Council." This sidewalk is required by
Code and would be the only pedestrian route from this project to Weaver
Elementary School.
Surroun ding_Land Uses
1. ,Northerly: Cope Avenue. The property north of Cope Avenue is partially develop -
ed with Skateboard Park. The property on English Street is undeveloped. It
I s zoned I4 -1, Light Manufacturing and planned for LSC, Limited Service Commercial
use.
2. Easterly: The Burlington Northern tracks.
3. Southerly: An undeveloped City park.
-4. Westerly: English Street. There are three single dwelling homes on the east
side of English Street. The land on the west side is all single dwelling
homes.
Pas Actions
1. 11- 14 -72: Council denied a rezoning from R -1 to R -3 for the portion of the sub-
_ ject property north of County Road B. The basis for denial was insufficient
drainage facilities for an apartment development and unanswered questions on
the future of County Road 6 and the English Street - Highway 36 interchange.
2. 8- 21 -78: The Planning Commission tabled action on this project to allow the
developer time to make revisions.
Pla nning Consid
1. The property is zoned R -1, Single Dwelling Residential and planned for Rm,
Medium Density Residential use. — -
2. Density is as follows:
12 Double Bungalows 98.4 people
48 four - plexes 158.4 peopl (assuming three bedroom units)*
256.8 people
Net Acres 14.7 acres
Density = 17.5 people /net acre -
3. the proposed density is less than the standard of 22 people /net acre allowed
in the Land Use Plan. -
Enviro Consi
See enclosed report by the Soil Conservation Service date 6 -22 -78 and 6- 16 -78.
Note that the plan has been revised since this report was done. _
*NOTGi` 'Bedroom - mix has not been determined yet.
FO
Publ-ic Works Considerations
Watermain
A 12 inch watermain currently exists on English Street and an 8 inch water -
main on Cope Avenue. The plat is in the service area of the new water tower
scheduled to go on -line in September. Looping of the wa.termain from Clarence
back to English Street would be required along Coiihty Road B. Other improve-
ments would be internal to the plat.
Sanitary Sew
1. An 8 inch sanitary sewer exists on Cope Avenue and on English Street.
A review of the invert elevations of the sanitary sewer indicate that the
sewers are not of sufficient depth to serve the plat. It appears that the
existing sewer located at the corner of County Road 6 and Birmingham
Street could be extended to the west to serve the property. This service
may be marginal and a detailed grading plan should be prepared in con-
junction with the utilities plan to determine the adequacy of the sewer
service.
2. Since the extension of this system to the west would not benefit abutting
property, owners, it would be a requirement of the Developer. The only other
user may be the proposed "Conway Addition ".
3. If the Conway Addition uses this facility, a cost sharing arrangement between
the developers would be required.
Storm Water System
1. The proposed plat is located within an area currently being studied for an
extensive public works improvement project to upgrade the storm sewer system.
The Maplewood Drainage Plan calls for a 5 acre -foot storage pond located in
the southeast corner of this plat. Staff will be recommending that the
Council approve a feasibility for this project. This pond and the exact
location would be determined during the study.
2. The Maplewood Drainage Plan also calls for a storm sewer along the east
side of the plat, running from the pond previously mentioned, north to
Cope Avenue. A minimum twenty foot easement for this system should be
required to be dedicated.
3. Since the plat is in the downstream end of a substantial storm water improve -
ment project, it is possible for the developer to petition a less extensive
project, if the one proposed is not ordered.
4. The Ramsey - Washington Metro Watershed Board reviewed this plat and will
require that no filling be allowed on Block 3, Lots 5 and 6 below elevation
886 (see enclosed letter).
County Road B
A substantial amount of excavation on County Road 6 will be required from
English Street to Birmingham Street for the proposed utility extensions. It
does not appear that these facilities can be provided without disturbing the
pavement. In these cases, the County requires complete reconstruction and
3
will not participate in cost, unless the street is already scheduled for major
work. County Road 13 is currently not scheduled for improvement. Further
County input and cost sharing negotiations with the development will be required.
llnalyqis
This is a logical proposal that is consistent with the Land Use Plan. The PUD
proposes a transition in density from four - plexes adjacent to the railroad
tracks to double units along English Street.
Extensive sanitary sewer and storm drainage projects will be needed with this
plat. The storm drainage project is a major study that will impact the whole area.
If the project is denied, on -site drainage could probably be designed to handle
this project. Our first priority should be to resolve the overall problem. The
sanitary sewer will involve an expensive extension from Birmingham Street, without
benefiting properties to share the cost. This cost will have to be ,paid by the
developer.
A rezoning for apartments was denied in 1972 due to drainage problems and uncertainty
over the location of the Highway 36 interchange. The current PUD proposal should
be an - improvement over the apartment project. It will have a lower density and be
more compatible with the neighborhood. Staff is recommending a storm water
drainage project as a condition of this plat to resolve the drainage problem. The
City's Plan shows an interchange at Highway 36 and the railroad tracks, with English
Street elevated over Highway 36. The proposed project would not interfere with the
Highway 36 improvements. The Highway Department still has no definite plans.
Recomme ndation
Approval of the preliminary plat, subject to the following conditions:
1. Construction of walV a- in the 20 foot dedicated rights -of -wa an_d alnn_g the

TO: Supervisors, Ramsey Soil. and Water Conservation District
SUBJECT: Plat review of Ar• -Mon Properties, Inc (English Manor)
1) INTRODUCTION
The proposed plat is located in southwest corner of section 10,
Range 29N., Township 22West.
This .report evaluates existing soil and water resources, their
relation to the proposed plat and offers suggestions to minimize adverse
impacts.
I1) EVALUATION GP EXISTING RESOURCES
A) Soils and Topography
The soils information presented here has limitations which should
be known. The soil survey applies to a depth of 5 feet and is intended
for general. planning purposes only. Before decisions are made concerning
specific uses on specific sites, a professional. soils engineer should be
consulted.
Two distinct soil groups are present on the plat. Their boundaries
are outlined on the plat reap. Their descriptions are below:
Soil Gr 1a
G_r_oup Descripti This group consists of well drained to excessively
drained sandy soils underlain by sandy or gravelly materials.
This group is divided into the following subgroups, based on slope
steepness:
laA = 0 to 12% slopes
laB = 12 to 1.8% slopes
The Group Characteristics below apply to subgroups. Signif-
icant variations are in narrative form following the Group Characteristics.
Group Charateristi
- No flooding or ponding hazard.
- Depth to the water table is greater than 6 feet.
- Depth to bedrock is greater. than 6 feet.
-- Soil strength is good.
- Potential frost action is low.
- Shrink- swell potential is low.
Permeability is rapid.
- Vegetation is difficult to establish because of droughtiness.w
t
a
Subgroup Variations:
1.aA This soil has good potential for building site development.
however, the sandy nature of the soil, material. requires a few special.
considerations. Foundations are easily excavated but sidewal.l stability
is poor with caving a problem. Precautionary measures should be taken.
The soil is noncohesive and can easily develop gullies if the increased
runoff from driveways, roofs and streets is not handled wisely.
laB In these locations building site potential_ is fair. The steep
slopes increase the cost of preparing building skes. Sidewal.l caving
during excavation is a problem. The increased runoff due to the addition
of streets, driveways and roofs to the landscape can create severe erosion
problems. Stormwater runoff must be handled properly. Erosion control
measures during construction are needed.
Soil Group 3C
Group Description: These soils are moderately well drained silts and l.oams
wth loamy underlying materials.
Gr P roperties:
- No flooding hazard exists.
- The seasonally high water table is within 6 feet of the surface.
- Depth to bedrock is over 5 feet.
- Soil strength for supporting small buildings is fair.
- Potential frost action is high.
- Potential. shrink -swell action is low to moderate.
- Permeability is moderate.
- Vegetation is easily established.
Group Narrative:
These soils have fair building site potential. The high water table
must be controlled or buildings placed above it to eliminate the problem
of wet basements. Streets, driveways and parking lots will suffer frost
action damage unless carefully designed.
B) water Resources
No marshes exist on the proposed plat. The plat does not show how
Stormwater surface flows will be handled or if any storm sewers are planned
on the plat. The Maplewood Drainage Plan prepared by Barr Engineering
indicates a storm sewer system is_ proposed - in the area which will carry
runoff to a proposed major ponding site located north of Gerva.is Avenue
and west of Clarence Street.
It is assumed runoff from the plat will flow to the proposed ponding
site between Gervais Avenue and Clarence Street. Since this is the last
major ponding site before flow enters lake Kohlman ( in the proposed storm
sewer system), it is an important sediment trap and will. become more so
as th6 areas around this plat; become developed.
Page 3
III) CRITIQUE AND RTCO1,11EM)ATIONS
i 1) On soil group la a top dressing'of loam material should be
applied, where grading for homesites exposes the subsoil, to provide
j - suitable conditions for plant growth. This is especially critical on .
area laB to prevent soil erosion.
i 2) Where grading and construction activities disturb vegetation
in laA, and 1aB straw mulch should be applied at the rate of 4,000 lb /ac
and punched in with a disc if sodding will not take place i.ramedi.ately.
Treatment of area laB will be especially important due to the slope. If
sodding cannot be accomplished within ten months then the disturbed areas
should be seeded with one and one half bu /ac of rye, as well as mulched.
y The seed is applied before the mulch
Areas of flow concentration over disturbed areas should be avoided.
If concentrations are unavoidable, hay bales should be staked across the
direction of flow.
3) Design care will be needed to avoid severe wetness problems
for homes in Block 1, lots 10, 11, 12 and 13; Block 2, lot 4; and Block
3 lots 2, 3,4, 5, 6 and 7. The'water table in these areas is within 6
feet of the surface (soil group 30. Further design attention will be
needed to prevent frost damage to streets and driveways.
4) The existence of the proposed pending site between Gervais
Avenue and Clarence Street with the storm water storage capacity recom-
mended by Barr Engineering should be ensured. As development progresses
In the area, this pond will become an important component in maintaining
the quality of storm water entering Kohlman Lake from the developing area.

Re: Proposed Plat of English Manor to the City of Maplewood
Dear Mr. Olson:
Upon review of the plans for the English Manor Development in Maplewood,
it was noted that a 6 acre - -foot storage basin on the south side of the
development- is shown in the Maplewood Drainage Plan. Part of this storage
basin lies in portions of Lots 5 and 6 of Block 3. Approximately one -half
of the storage basin is located on the English Manor. The other half is
located to the south of this proposed development-. Preliminary computations
of this storage basin indicate that the flood level is approximately Elevation
886. The District is aware that if restrictions for non- development are required
for portions of Lots 5 and 6, development of these lots would be several.y
jeopardized. However, until commitment is made by the City as to how this
storage basin will be developed, the District will require provisions that
no filling will be allowed below Elevation 886 on Lots 5 and 6 of Block 3
in the proposed plat of English Manor.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 920 -0655.

ScA LE . a�c:
Chairman Prew asked if the petitioners property all abut Barclay Street
right-of.-Way
Mr. Liptak said yes, the only person that has not signed is a Mr. Doyle
who owns a vacant lot. lie said the petitioners do not want the walkway as
there will still be a problem with policing and maintenance.
Secretary Olson described for the petitioners what type of walkway was
recommended in the DeMars Plat when they vacated a portion of Arkwright
Street. There is no planned walkway for the Barclay area now, if there is
a walkway easement, it would have to be left open for pedestrian access.
Commissioner Howard asked if the City have thought of installing posts
to prevent vehicular traffic from going through.
Secretary Olson said yes, in the DeMars Plat a post was installed to
discourage traffic. There would be curbing installed which would also
discourage traffic.
Mr. Liptak said if a walkway is constructed as outlined by Mr. Olson,
he would not object to that type.
Commissioner Pellish
Commissioner Kishel seconded Ayes all
B. Preliminary Plat, PUD, Street and Alley Vacations - English Manor
(AR -11011 Properties)
Secretary Olson said the applicant is requesting approval of a planned
unit development, preliminary plat and vacation of several streets and
alleys to develop the property in the area of English Street and County
Road B. The property is located both on the north and south sides of
County Road B. The project would consist of 12 double bungalows and
12 four - plexes or a total of 72 units. The proposed development would not
exceed the densities of the Comprehensive Plan as it is calculated to be
14.7 people per acres. Staff is recommending approval of the preliminary
plat subject to the conditions outlined in their report. Street and alley
vacations are to be approved if the final plat is approved. Planned
Unit Development is also recommended for approval if the final plat
is approved
Commissioner Howard asked if there should be a sidewalk along the
east side of Clarence and County Road B to provide safety for school
children.
Secretary Olson said it has not been practice to put a sidewalk on
a local type street with low traffic. The Transportation Plan is to
outline where sidewalks should be installed for pedestrian safety.
Commission Howard said he thought rather than the fourplex at English
and County Road B it should be a double bungalow to provide a better
transition to the single family adjacent to it.
3
Secretary Olson said a double bungalow could be put there, although the
structure is oriented to County Road B. Also, 'E nglish Street will have more
traffic in the future as it will be a major street crossing over Highway 36.
'That will have much more of an impact on the single family homes than the
construction of the four- •p'lex.
John Newell, AR -MON Properties, said he has no to the requirements
outlined in the staff report. Ile showed the Commission the typical units
proposed.
Chairman Prew asked if the four -plex at English and County Road B would
require filling of the property.
Mr. Newell said yes, it will require some fill.
Chairman Prew said if that location is fil "led, he did not think any of
the existing trees could be saved.
Mr. Newell said possibly they could take the four unit building directly
to the east and move it slightly to the south, the four -plex proposed at
County Road B and English could be changed to two double bungalows or some
other type of arrangement to try and preserve the trees at that corner.
Chairman Prew said his main objection to the project is the access onto
County Road B that close to English Street. lie thought if that access could
be reorientated the development it would be beneficial. Also if the corner
of County Road B and English could remain as it is, it would benefit the
project and the neighborhood.
The applicant he thought with the landscaping they propose for the
development, once it matures, it will be a better quality than what exists
on the property.
Mr. Newell presented an alternative to the development plan, which he
thought would save the trees on the property.
Chairman Prew asked if the final grading plan would be reviewed by the
Planning Commission or Review Board as to minimizing the amount of grading
to the property.
Secretary Olson said it would be reviewed by the City Engineer.
Commissioner Barrett asked if a time limit is usually applied when a
'PUD is approved.
Secretary Olson said the Commission has recommended time limits on
some PUD's in the past. He could not see any objections to putting a time
limit on an approval if the Commission wished.
Mr. Newell said he would like to have the projected completed by this
time next year, but financing may not permit that. He would like to
construct his model either late fall or during the winter.
Secretary Olson said the proposed plat would have to be filed before
the first building is constructed.ldith the plat configuration proposed,it
would be difficult to develop the property other than what is shown on
the plan without first replatting the property.
4
Comin9ssioner Kishel said it is quite difficult for a developer to record
a plat such as proposed and stay right with the dimensions of the small parcels
that will be indicated on the plat. lie said if a building is moved, then the
plat is violated.
Mr. Newell said there is a provision in this type of zero lot line that
there is a certain number of inches one way or another as tolerance.
Commissioner Kishel asked that Secretary Olson check further into what
is 'the proper procedure of filing the plat.
Commissioner Howard asked if a one year time limit to apply for a building
permit for the first unit would be agreeable with the applicant.
Mr. Newell said that would be sufficient time.
Commissioner Barrett said he would also like to see a time limit for the
completion of the building of all units that would be satisfactory to both
the applicant and the City.
condit ions:
1. Construction of walkways in the 20 foot dedicated rights -of -way and
along the south side of County Road 6, adjacent to the applicant's
property. Walkway design must be constructed to standards approved by
the City Engineer.
2. Implementation of the recommendations in the Soil Conservation Service
report of 6 -16 -78 and 6- 22 -78.
3. Submittal of a grading plan acceptable to the City Engineer.
4. Submittal of a detailed utility plan indicating sewer invert and proposed
sewer routes to be approved by the City Engineer.
5. The final plat shall not be approved until after Council considers a storin
water improvement project to sewer the area. If such project is denied,
applicant may provide on -site pending that will assure no greater rate of
run -off than currently exists.
6. Dedication of a ponding easement in the southeast corner of the site, to be
determined by the feasibility study for the storm water improvement project.
7. Dedication of a 20 foot drainage easement along the entire east side of
the plat.
5
B: TIra -L a financial arrangement acceptable to the City Engineer be established
to pay for any restoration needed to County Road B.
9. Increase right -of -way width for County Road B to 86 feet, as required by
the County.
10. Change the common lots to outlots and renumber the buildable lots.
11. The final plat shall not be approved until the City Attorney has reviewed
and approved the by -laws and rules of the proposed homeowners' association
to assure that all common areas will be maintained.
12. Owner and applicant agree to the above conditions in writing.
Commissioner Kishel seconded Ayes all.
Commissioner Howard asked the Commission if they felt a sidewalk should
be installed on the west side of Block 2 of the proposed plat.
Commissioner Fischer said she did not think it was necessary at this
location. She did not think a walkway would be consistent with what is
recommended in the Transportation Plan.
Commissioner Pellish
1. Final Plat approval.
2. A protective planting screen, to be approved by the Community Design Review
Board, shall be provided between the four- plexes and the railroad tracks.
3. A first building permit be issued within twelve months of the Planned Unit
Development approval.
Commissioner Fischer seconded.
Commissioner Barrett asked if a time limit should be set for completion
of the entire project.
Commissioner Kishel said the Commission has in the past, set a time limit
for beginning the development not for completion of it.
Voting: Ayes - all
Commissioner Fischer
Commissioner Barrett seconded
Ayes all

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor. and City Council
FROM: Acting City Manager
SUBJECT: Feasibility Study (Hi.11crest Development - Selection of Consultant)
DATE: October 1.9, 1978
On June 15, 1978, the Council initiated a feasibility study to provide
public facilities to the Hill-crest Development properties. The study
was ordered with the stipulation that the requesting developer would
pay for the cost. At that time, the Council directed the staff to
report: back on the selection of a consulting engineer to complete
the study.
The Council has been forwarded copies of proposals from three
consulting engineering firms. The firms asked to submit qualifications
were selected as they are of the size and experience to offer a broad
range of municipal services. Staff met with principals of each firm
to discuss the nature of the study and the firm's capabilities.
The proposals received are general in nature, presenting the
qualifications for the firms and their approach to the study. It is
not possible at this time to expect firms to estimate costs as the
scope of the work is not well defined. The study will require the
engineers to investigate and incorporate a broad number of variables
into their study, including the developer's plans, City drainage,
sanitary sewerage and water facility plans, proposed McKnight Road
and Century Avenue upgrading and the probability that this project
will be combined with a project to provide adequate water service
to the Maple Greens area.
This study is typical of many feasibility studies in which the
extent of the project is determined within the study. The amount
of engineering investigation needed is determined as the study
progresses. The extent of soil borings and survey work is determined
as the alternates are developed. In these cases, it is not viable .
to select: consultants on a cost - proposal basis.
Staff would therefore recommend that the Council consider the following
approach to engineering services. For purposes of regular public
works improvement projects, the City would informally select two or
three firms with a broad range of municipal engineering capabilities.
The selection of one of these firms to complete a particular project
would be based on the project requirements and the firm's background
and performance. Feasibility study costs would be based on time and
material costs, with a "not to exceed" price negotiated when the scope
Page 2
Of the project was determined (stan(lard contract form) . For items
such as the transportation study or design of the Public Works Garage,
a formal. selection process would continue to be used.
This approach provides a number of advantages. Several firms that
regularly work for the City would provide compet�it-ion and allow
selection based on best performance. Additionally, it allows
flexibility when a particular firm may have a possible conf:l:i-ct
of interest; such as, working for. a private developer on an associated
project. Limiting the number of firms provides significant: administration
efficiency. A consulting engineer must be familiar with the City's
standards and the service level anticipated by the community. The City
officials and staff must: have confidence in the firm as it will. be making
recommendations that have a far - reaching effect on the community.
Because of the volume of relatively small projects that are ac comp lislied
by the City each year, it is not viable to follow through on a formal.
selection process, hire a variety of farms, familiarize the farms with
the City and staff requirements and be completely confident of the
results, without spending extensive administrative time. Engineering
firms are retained to provide professional services and it is not
recommended to open each job up to the market place unless performance
of existing firms is unsatisfactory.
Under this approach, staff would anticipate continued use of Schoell
and Madsen, Inc. and Kirkham - Michael and Associates as it is felt
they have been providing satisfactory service. In addition, staff
feels the City should consider Short, Elliott, Hendrickson and Associates
for providing regular engineering service. It should be noted that
Schoell and Madson was not asked to prepare a proposal for the Hillcrest

DATE June 1.2, 1.978
Hi'llcrest Development has requested the City to make available
to their property, water, sanitary sewer and a storm sewer system.
The property is located between McKnight and Century as indicated
on the attached'map.
Thc request prov:i_ des no details as to the specific improvements.
necessary. The developer has indicated the improvements are
being requested to serve a proposed development which includes
varied density residential dwellings and warehouse or light
manufacturing land uses. The City has rin received an application
for the approval of the proposed development:.
Should the Council choose to initiate a feasibility study, Staff
will work with the Developer to better define the scope of the
improvements.
As the project has been requested to serve a single development,
and it is unclear as to whether or not a petition representing
a substantial amount of the affected property can be filed, it:
is recommended that the Developer pay for the feasibility study.
Should the project be ordered, the cost would be reimbursed and
applied to the assessments.

SUBJECT Consultant Services (Agenda Item t. -2)
DATE: July 23, 1975
The question has been raised as to why the City of Maplewood does not
acquire engineering services on a competitive bidding procedure.
The State Statutes specifically exclude professional services such as
engineering and legal services from the necessity of following a
competitive bidding process. The ethics of the professional groups are
such that competitive bidding is excluded. The accepted procedure, and
the one which the City of Maplewood has followed, is to 'interview several
companies regarding their qualifications. for accomplishing the specific
job and then select the one most qualified. Plegotiations are then
conducted with that firm on such matters as compensation, services to
be performed, and time limits. If agreement cannot be reached on those
matters with the first: selected firm, then negotiations are terminated
and the next.qualified firm is selected to begin negotiations.
When a certain engineering service is a natural outgrowth of one under way
by a currently selected consultant, then at times only that specific one
is interviewed and negotiated with. This is why a considerable time is
spent by several staff personnel in selecting the consultant for such
items as drainage study, facility study, and water systems study. While
another consultant could be utilized, they would have to acquire the
necessary background which went into the studies.
The price range is fairly standard for project design, usually varying
between 6 and 7 per cent, depending on job size and complexity. Companies
also have various policies within the quoted price range as to whether this
includes secretarial services, completion of as -built plans, traveling
expenses and many other items. The preparation of specifications for bidding
to cover all contingencies would require additional manpower.
It appears that the current practice of selecting the firm on the basis of
qualifications to begin negotiations is in the best interest of the City.
One frequently used argument for the continuation of this type of procedure
is the question "If you needed a brain surgeon, would you select the one
based on low bid?

vou say' "AS130 feels that public tax
nonce spent on architectural services
shouldbe dispensed only on tilt, basis
of free and open competitive bidding”
per your perspective of how AS130
feels cones front your broad expeli-
cnce and personal contacts. However,
some ASBO mcnibco :s sere this profes-
sional fcc• slicing as it mixed bag.
I offer thc• concept that the fee sched-
ults in(- just and proper and to evalu-
ation of an architect better rests with

tects will provide seemingly unlimited

sign solutions or alternatives. Or,
there is it whole range of specialists in

architects uav ctinsult or provide for
consultation in order to better fit it

nun.

Another example of variance among
architects is the• inspection services
provided during the construction
phase. The regular contract with air
architect slaters ... I'ht Architect shall
make periodic visits to the site to fa-
miliarize himself goncratly with the
progress and quality of the Work and
to determine in general if the Work is
proceeding in accordance with the•

his on -site observations as an Archi-
Wet, he shall cndenyor to guard the

Architect shall not he required to make
exhaustive or continuous on -site in-
spections to check the quality or quan-
tity of the Work. The Architect shall
not be responsible for construction
means, methods, techniques, sequences
or procedures, or for safety precau-
tions and programs in connection with
the GVork, and he shall not be respon-
sible for the Contractor's' failure• to
carry out the Wurlc in accordance with
the Contract Documents."
There is much latitude for varying
interpretations (and corresponding;
services rendered) under this clause.
'rhen there's the entire area of finan-
cial accountability of a construction
project. The architect has the deter-
mination of degree of completion for
partial payments and the duty to arbi-
trate and adjudicate disputes. Again
a range of services can be provided in
fully and carefully ae_rounting for the
project or by routinely accepting and
approving the (. ontractor's submisisor;s.
One step beyond this variabititv.in
services, let's examine some issues of
the fee structure.
The architects fee schedules are
based on loCatlOu, size•, an(I eromplexity
of a project. By inference., these fac-
tors affect the cats that the architem-
tural firm expects to incur in undertak-
ing the project.
A national across -tire -board average
for architectural fees would be in the 71,
range of 643l, a very small part of �
the total cost of a project. If a frac -lion

MEMORANDUM
TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ACTING CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: COIN OPERATED AMUSEMENT DEVICE AT 19 NO. CENTURY AVENUE
DATE: OC'TOBE'R 13, 1978
On July 20, 1978, the Council took action to revoke the permit for the Coin Operated
Amusement Device (Pinball Machine) at the Li'7. General Store, 19 No. Century Avenue.
Notice was served upon the store. Mr. Sam Ni.lva, National Amusement Company, disputes
the revocation for the reasons that he was never notified and he is the one who paid
for the permit.
It is recommended that the permit be revoked. It is also suggested that the place
or business where coin operated machines are located be licensed as well as a permit
be required for the machine itself.

WI3EREAS, the Council of the City of Maplewood held a public
hearing on the matter of issuing said license at its regulat council
meeting on Thursday, October 5, 1978, wherein testamony and reports
were made and given;
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED
1. That the Council of the City of Maplewood finds that the
location sought is properly zoned.
2. That the operation of such business would constitute a
severe traffic hazard because of lack of vision while drivina
westward on Larpenteur Avenue and that left turns would be necessary
for traffic moving easterly on Larpenteur, all in the proximity
Of a railroad track.
3. That there are many children in the area and the location
of this building, while properly zoned, is within an essentially
residential. area without any other businesses in proximity to it and
that the location of such business would be detrimental to the
neighborhood and dangerous to the children in the neighborhood.
A.otion by Councll`oI
Sv lId {r�
g143.:

9. Many people in the neighborhood appeared and spoke in
Opposition to the running of an on -sale 3.2 license at that
location.
5. That the applicant for the license is presently the owner
of another on -sale license in the City of St. Paul and it is believed
that he would be dividing his time between the two operations and
that he would not be in full Lime management of the establishment
in the City of Maplewood.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that upon the facts as outlined above,
the City of Maplewood does hereby deny the application for the 3.2

'Transfiguration Church
Board Member Sjolander moved the Board recommend to the City Council approval
of the proposed building addition at Transfiguration Church at 2333 Harvester
Avenue as proposed.
Board Member Herauf seconded Oyes all
MEMORANDUM
T0:
Mayor and City Council
FROM:
Acting City Manager
SUBJECT:
Site Changes and Drive -Up
APPLICANT:
Earl Balzer for Hardee's
LOCATION:
3100 White Bear Avenue
DATE:
October 6, 1978
Service Window /Addition
RecTuest_
The applicant requests approval to install a drive -up service drawer at the Hardee's
restaurant at County Road D and White Bear Avenue. The proposed window will require
some site changes regarding traffic circulation and parking.
Existing-Land Use
1. The subject property is developed with a Hardee's restaurant.
2. There are presently 50 parking stalls on site. For a restaurant: of this
size, code requires 25 parking stalls.
3. The subject property measures 162 by 2.20.62 feet and has an area of 35,740
square feet.
Proposal
1. The applicant is proposing to install a drive -up take -out service drawer in
the southerly elevation of the building at the existing window.
2. No other exterior building changes will be made.
3. A portion of the existing sidewalk along the southerly elevation will be removed
so cars can drive close to the building.
4. There are presently six right angle parking stalls in this location. They are
proposed to be redesigned as four angle parking stalls to make room for an
eight foot pick -up lane. This will create a 22 foot double loaded drive - aisle
for the 14 existing parking stalls along the southerly lot line and the four
proposed angle parking stalls.
5. The City's standard for right angle parking is for a 25 foot access drive aisle
to the parking stalls. The 22 feet shown, however, is very adequate for the
diagonal parking stalls.
6. A drive aisle is proposed which would eliminate the two westerly parking stalls
adjacent to the boulevard in front of the building. These two existing stalls
are not shown on the enclosed plan.
:11ot3. on by Gotr11011ry
Da L cl_ - _
7. The applicant is planning to route the drive -up service traffic in from the
County Road D entrance. This is to be accomplished by a number of traffic
control directional signs.
Sidnage_
1.
Directional signs are not subject to Board approval since the sign
ordinance
provides that proposal can be reviewed on a staff level. However,
since the
applicant has included his directional signage proposal on the site
plan,
staff will address it in this report.
?..
Subparagraph 5 of Schedule No. 1 of the sign ordinance permits "Directional
signs not more than two (2) in number indentifying the location and
nature of
a building, structure, or use which is not readily visible from the
street,
serving such buildings, structure, or use on lands forming part of
the site of
such buildings, structure, or uses, provided that each such sign is
not more
than ten (10) square feet in area."
3.
The ordinance restricts the total number of directional signs to be
maximum
of two. The applicant has proposed three directional signs located
adjacent
to the White Bear Avenue entrances to direct drive -up customers in
through the
County Road D entrance.
4.
There is also a "preview" menu sign proposed (two are shown, but,
only one
is to be put in) and a phone station for placing orders.
Past Actions
6 -8-72: Council approved building and site plans for the Hardee's Restaurant at
the southeast corner of White Bear Avenue and County Road D subject to the
following conditions:
1. Landscaping of the boulevard;
2. Provide proper outdoor trash recepticles for customers;
3. Provide self contained refuse containers properly screened;
4. No flashing or revolving lights.
10-5 -72: Council moved to approve a request by Hardee's for a freestanding sign
and a wall sign subject to the following conditions:
1. Reduction in the overall height to a maximum of 25 feet;
2. No Mashing row or individual lights on the sign;
3. the sign shall be a minimum of 15 feet from White Bear Avenue measured to the
closest portion of the sign from the right -of -way;
4. Sight clearance from all streets and from the parking lot onto the street shall
be approved by the Village Engineer.
2
5 -7 -73: The Council denied a request by Ilardee's for a readerboard addition to their
i sign.
Plannin Cons iderations
1. The subject property is zoned BC, Business Commercial.
2. The Land Use Plan has designated that this property _develop as an LSC,
Limited Service Commercial Center.
Analysis
There are some problems which may arise if the project is developed as proposed.
The proposed location of the instruction sign #2 is located in an area where it
might be hazardous to the traffic flow on White Bear Avenue. Drives may have a
tendancy to slow down to read the sign and decide where to go to get to the pick up
lane. Another problem is in the proposed width of the pick up lane. The eight
foot wide lane is too narrow for safe manuevering. If the curb between the pick
up lane and the diagonal parking stalls is meant as a wheel stop for those cars,
their front bumpers will be sticking into the pick up lane by two to three feet,
therefore, creating a serious hazard. Staff feels that the pick up lane should be
increased to 10 feel: and wheel stops provided in the diagonal parking stalls.
Increasing the width of the pick up lane will decrease the width of the double
loaded drive aisle south of the proposed diagonal parking stalls. This should
not create a problem though. If the 14 right angle stalls are realigned as
diagonal parking stalls, the traffic flow would improve, and the resultant 20 foot
wide access drive aisle would be more than adequate.
To eliminate the chance of vehicles attempting to enter the pick up lane from the
southerly entrance on White Bear Avenue, Staff recommends that the proposed
drive aisle curb be extended westward to adjoin the existing curbing at the
northerly edge of the curb cut. This would block off the adjacent parking stalls
north of the pick up lane, but, would eliminate confusion and a potential traffic
hazard. Directional signage could be placed on site to help facilitate traffic
flow.
Recommendation
Approval based on the above analysis and subject to the following conditions:
1. The applicant shall submit a revised site plan providing for:
a. A 10 foot wide order and pick up lane;
b. Wheel stops in the proposed diagonal parking stalls;
c. Restriping of the right angle parking along the southerly lot line to
diagonal parking;
d. Continuation of the pick up aisle curbing to adjoin the existing curb at
the northerly side of the White Bear Avenue entrance;
e. The design for the above are subject to review and approval by the City
Engineer;
2. Proposed directional signs are subject to the requirements of the sign ordinance;
3. Owner and applicant agree to the above conditions in writing.

SUBJECT: Feasibility Study, Frost Avenue Connection
DATE: October. 16, 1978
The Council has previously approved the roadway connection between
East Shore Drive and Frost Avenue, The County Engineering Department
is preparing the preliminary plans and has asked for input as to
what City improvements should be incorporated into the design. Staff
has reviewed the roadway plans and feels that watermain and storm
drainage facilities will be necessary. Additionally, it is anticipated
that the City will be responsible for the installation of curb and
gutter as has been the past practice.
On April 6, 1978, the Council ordered a feasibility study for the
extension of watermain on East Shore Drive, from Adele Street to
1000 feet West. The study was in response to a petition from the
owners of the apartment complex located on East Shore Drive, just
west of the proposed connection. As work on this feasibility has
not begun, it is advisable to combine this watermain project with
the Frost Avenue Connection. improvements.
In addition, the need for watermain on Frost. Avenue, West of English
Street has become apparent. This main would loop the improvements
indicated above along with providing needed faire protection to the
non- residential land uses along Frost Avenue.
It is therefore recommended that the Council initiate a feasibility
study for the construction of curb and gutter, watermain and storm
sewer within the project limits of the proposed Frost Avenue Connection
and for the construction of watermain on Frost Avenue from English
Street to the proposed Frost Avenue Connection.
It is also recommended that the above feasibility be combined with
Project 78 -9, Water Improvements, East Shore Drive from Adele Street
to 1000 feet West.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council,
FROM: Acting City Manager
SUBJECT: Feasibility Study -- Boxwood Avenue
DATE: October 16, 1978
The City is in receipt of a petition from Mr. James Miller for the
improvement of Boxwood Avenue from Dorland Road to approximately
970' East, and for the necessary storm sewer facilities for the
development of Miller's Battle Creek Addition.
On October 5th, the Council tabled the preliminary plat of Miller's
Battle Creek Addition until a feasibility study was completed to
determine the location of Boxwood Avenue. In addition, the staff
report indicated that the plat will. necessitate a public works
improvement project to construct drainage ponds which are located
outside of the developer's property. To date; a feasibility study
of this matter has not been ordered.
Mr. Miller's petition calls for construction of approximately 970' of
Boxwood, thus providing a second access to the proposed plat from
Dor.land Road. The petition represents 35% of the front footage.
The petitioned project would appear to matte the proposed plat viable.
Staff feels it is necessary to look at the overall transportation
network in the area. Although it may not be necessary to construct
all of Boxwood in conjunction with the proposed plat, it is felt the
study should address Boxwood from McKnight Road to Sterling Street.
Staff recommends that the Council initiate a feasibility for the
improvement of Boxwood Avenue from McKnight Road to Sterling Street
and for drainage improvements necessitated by the proposed Miller's
Battle Creek Addition. A

zoned for farm residential use and planned for RL, Low Density Residential
use.
3. There is also a 1.16 acre parcel, with a single dwelling house fronting on
Carver Avenue.(2445 Carver Avenue).
4. Southerly: Carver Avenue. There is a .87 acre parcel, with a single dwelling
house fronting on Carver Avenue (2.431 Carver Avenue). There is also a 4.6
acre parcel with a single dwelling house fronting on Carver Avenue (2405
Carver Avenue). (loth of these properties are zoned F, Farm residential and
planned for RL use.
5. Westerly: Several single dwelling homes fronting on Dorland Road.
F ?laming C
1. The property is zoned - for P, Farm Residential use and planned for RI.., Low
Density Residential use.
2. The project does not exceed the density requirements of the Comprehensive Plan.
Environmental Considerations
1. The area contains two prominent water related features. A gully running
through the center of the area and a marsh at the south end. The marsh
actually is part of a larger one that has been divided by Carver Avenue. The
portion of the marsh ghat is located in the plat area is less than one acre
in size. The gully is roughly 640 feet long and 6 feet deep at its deepest
point. The gully is well vegetated and stabilized.
2. That portion of the marsh in the plat, collects a portion of the runoff from
the proposed plat area. The entire marsh area ( including parts not in the
plat area) receives all of the flow from' the plat. The marsh and plat area
are part of the larger watershed area that floss into Fish Creek. As such,
the marsh functions to control peal: storm flows, as well as sediment loads
into Fish Creek by providing a temporary ponding area.
3. The primary problems associated with the plat are related to the sandy
nature of the soil material, the slopes involved, and the storm flow from the
remainder of the watershed to the north. Potential erosion problems that may
arise during construction are listed below.
a. The major concentration of storm flout occurs through the major gully of
the area and passes through lots 14,15, 16, 17, 18, 35, and down the access
road. Construction operations along this flow route present potentially
serious erosion problems due to the concentration of flow in the area.
p �,
b. The grading required for lot development on these sandy soils could result
in significant: soil loss and present difficulties 'in revegetating and
stabilizing the slopes.
4. After construction, there is one aspect of the plan which is not clear. The
plan does not indicate if the runoff coming down the access road flows directly
onto Carver Avenue or if this flow wiII be temporarily p oil de d in the marsh
area, as it is now. If this provision has not already been made, then a means
of directing this runoff into marsh for temporary storage should be provided.
5. The Soil Conservation Service recommends the folloc -,sing conditions for plat
approval:
a. Construction should be done in two phases. Streets ,Uti1ities and storm
-crater control measures should be installed and stabilized followed by
grading of and construction of the lots.
b. In carrying out both phases of development, a few precautions will
reduce the erosion hazards, loss of soil, and thus the sediment load
entering the marsh area at the south end of the development:
(1) Construction and grading should be done in a manner i:hat will disturb
the smallest areas possible, leaving as much established cover in
tact as possible.
(2) Exposed areas should be stabilized with mulch if not built on within
60 days. For temporary cover (2 -12 months) an anchored straw mulch
may be used. The mulch should be spread at the rate of 4000 pounds
per acre and anchored by netting or punched in with a blunt disc. On
areas where flogs concentrate, hay bales may be staked across the
channel to help reduce flow velocity.
(3) Permanent vegetation should be established immediately upon completion
of final grading. Permanent vegetation may be established by adding
12 to 18 inches of loamy material to the final grading and then sodding.
On areas that will have concentrated flow, the sod should be staked.
(4) The major gully on the property handles major storm flows. Provision
will need to be made to handle flows both during and after construction
to prevent erosion. The area designated for pond'ing (lot 1) should
be permanently reserved for such use, so that no building is ever
placed on the property. Responsibility for maintenance of the
ponding area should also be established so that it does not become an
eyesore.
Public Safetv Considerations
1. The Council has required two means of access in the past for emergency vehicles.
It is approximately 1460 feet from Carver Avenue to the end of the west cul -de-
sac. It is important that a cul -de -sac of this length have a second access.
2. Boxwood Avenue must be constructed with this project for effective delivery
of public safety services.
3
_ 9"W7
Public works t,on!:inera(ions
Drainage
1. The engineer for the Ramsey - Washington Watershed Board has reviewed the
plans and feels that there would be no problem in obtaining a Watershed
Permit (see enclosed le'Lter).
2. The City Engineering Department feels that the construction of the proposed
pond designated as lot 1 and the remaining 6.2 acre- -feet that is proposed
west of the development and south of Carver Avenue should be. constructed
With this project. The ponds should be constructed by the Ci'Ly as a
public improvement project.
Sewer
Sewer service is available from the interceptor in Carver Avenue.
Water
Water is available, but should be looped through the plat along Boxwood Avenue
and clown Dorland Road to Carver Avenue or to McKnight Road, if Boxwood Avenue
is put through to PicKnight Road. This would be a public; - improvement project.
Streets
1. A half- street right -of -way for Boxwood Avenue is proposed. The final
plat should not be approved, unless Council orders the construction
of Boxwood Avenue.
2. The preliminary plat should be tabled, until a feasibility study is done
on the location of Boxwood Avenue. The alignment shown on the preliminary
plat runs along the base of a steep hill. This would make it difficult
to assess the costs of the street. The location and feasibility of this
street will have a major impact on the design of the proposed plat..
3. Both the east: and west cul -de -sacs should be put through to Boxwood Avenue.
4. The east cut -de -sac creates three double frontage lots, is costly to
maintain, and provides only one access. The grade would also be
quite steep. The existing grade is about 15 %. The street grade would
have to be graded down, but would still be steep. Compare this to a
4% grade on Frost Avenue, ,just west of White Bear Avenue. This grade
problem further emphasizes the need for a second access - particularly,
on slippery winter days.
5. The west cul -de -sac is proposed to be temporary. This would leave lots
24 and 2.5 without access. Putting the street through would provide a second
access to Boxwood Avenue and avoid the problems of a temporary cul -de -sac
and extending a street in the future.
6. because of the steep contours in this area, a final grading and drainage
plan, with proposed street grades, should be submitted to the City
Engineer for approval before final plat approval.
4-
a III ill ii num of cu (i0 foot. r ig ht- oI.wa,y. This proble!n must be resolvcxl
before final plat approval. There are three alternatives:
a. Obtain a deed for i:he 30 feet on the property to the west before final
plat approval.
b. Petition the Council to condemn the land as a public improvement project.
The developer must construct the road, however.
c. Move the entire 60 foot right on 'Lo the applicant's property.
A 'lot would probably be lost.
8. Council should be aware that putting this road along the lvesL property
line will probably prevent the owner of 2U1 Carver Avenue from splitting
off a lot on the front of his property.
9. In order to provide street access for the future development of the pro-
perty to the west, a street stub should be constructed from the proposed
west cul -de -sac, south through lot 32 to the property line.
Analysis
There are several important changes recommended in this report. These changes
will require the realignmenL of lots and sLrent locations. These changes should
be made before the preliminary plat is. approved. The most important consideration
is to determine the location of Boxwood Avenue. This will have a major impact
on the configuration of lots. Because of the varied contours and questions of
feasibility, an engineering feasibility study should be done before preliminary
plat approval.
Recommend
Table, until a feasibility study is done to determine the location of Boxwood Avenue
and until the design changes recommended in this report are incorporated into
the proposed plat. Staff Mould also recommend that the applicant work with staff
to determine appropriate street names.

The applicant w ilI redesign the plat so all corner lots will meet the minimum
requirements. The Soil Conservation Service has suggested care during
construction to prevent erosion of the property because of the gully and
sandy soil conditions. Public Safety is concerned with providing service
to the long cut -de --sac streets. The Public Works Department would like to see
construction of three ponds along with development of the plat. There are
a number of changes required to the plat, therefore, Staff is recommending
at this time the Commission recommend to table the project until a feasibility
study can be done on Boxwood Avenue and until design changes as reconairended
in the Staff report: are considered.
The Commission discussed the feasibility of construction of Boxr
Avenue and the future development of the area and possible extension of
Sterling Street.
Secretary Olson said it would be difficult to extend Sterling because
of the contours.
Gene Peterson, representing the Millers, said the land slopes from north
to south. 1 - here are a lot of trees on the property which they wish to save.
There is a natural ponding area in the southerly portion of the property.
There have been various street patterns discussed and considered. The end
result is the cul -de -sacs as proposed on the plat.
Commissioner Howard asked if consideration had been given to larger lots.
The applicant said the size of the lots were determined by what the
market will support in terms of costs. The utilities add to the cost
of the lots.

MEMORANDUM
Roger's Garden Lots
The City Council reviewed this application on September 21, 1978 and tabled
action to allow Staff to discuss a proposed road with the County Parks
Department. The applicant had indicated that the County was intending to
purchase property south of his proposed lots as part of the Ramsey County
Open Space program. Staff has since met with the County.
Both the County and City Staff feel that the proposed open space corridor
across Mr. Kavanagh's property could be moved further south to allow the
construction of a road along the south property line of the proposed lots
with an additional 150 feet for two more lots south of the proposed road.
A 100 foot wide open corridor could then be acquired south of these two
new additional lots. The purpose of this corridor is to provide a trail
linkage between the County Open Space property to the east and the City's
Four Seasons Park to the west. The enclosed map illustrates this proposal.
The exact location of the proposed road would have to be determined through
a feasibility study.
The proposed road has a number of advantages:
1. It would eliminate the dead end on Bittersweet.
2. It would allow further development of Mr. Kavanagh's property as well as
the properties to the east and west.
3. It would not require the removal of the garage on the property to the north
of Mr. Kavanagh.
If this road is not approved the proposed lots would be unbuildable, since they
do not front on an improved street as required by Code. Any action on the lot
split should, therefore, be "tabled until such time as the Council orders the
proposed street. The applicant should submit a petition for the proposed street
or request the Council to initiate a feasibility study. If the applicant re-
quests the Council to initiate the project, he should be asked to share in the
costs of the feasibility study.
Recommendati on
Table action on the lot split until Council orders the proposed street.

East Half of Lot 3, E.
John Kavanagh
September 15, 1978
G. Roger's Garden Lots
Applicant is requesting a lot split to divide the existing lot into three lots.
Existing Land Use
1. The existing parcel is rectangular in shape. The parcel has an average
width of 165.56 feet and a depth of 12.49.54 feet, with an area of 4.75 acres.
2. There is a small single - dwelling home on the south half of the property.
Proposal_
1 The applicant is proposing to split the subject parcel into three parcels
(see enclosed map).
2. Lot A would have 165.825 feet of frontage on Gervais Avenue and an area of 4.19
acres.
3. Lot B would have 82 feet of frontage on a 33 foot undeveloped easement for
Demont Avenue. The lot depth would be 150 feet. The lot area would be 12,300
square feet.
4. Lot C would have 83.25 feet of frontage on a 33 foot undeveloped easement for
Demont Avenue. The -lot depth would be 150 feet. The lot area would be
12,487.5 square feet.
Surrounding Properties
1. Northerly: The property north of the existing parcel is developed with a
single family dwelling with frontage on Flandrau Street.
2. Easterly: The northern most parcel to the east is undeveloped with frontage
on Bittersweet Lane. The southern most parcel to the east is developed with a
single family dwelling.
3. Southerly: Gervais Avenue. South of Gervais Avenue is Washburn Laboratories.
4. Westerly: The southern most parcel to the west is developed with the Victory in
Christ Lutheran Church.The northern most parcel to the west is occupied by a
single family dwelling with frontage on Fremont Avenue.
Past Action
1. 8-- 26 -76: After residents complained of foot and vehicular traffic over the
undeveloped Demont Avenue right -of -way, Council directed Staff to post the
Demont Avenue right -of -way, between Flandrau Street and Bittersweet Lane as not
being a public thoroughfare.
2. 9- 8 - -77: Council approved a lot split for an 82 by 200 foot lot at the south --
westerly corner of the subject property. This split has not been recorded.
Planning Considerations
1. The City Plan designates proposed Lots B and C for RL, Low Density Residential.
The northern portion of proposed Lot A is designated for a trail between Four
Seasons Park and - the Ramsey County Open Space property to the east. The
southern portion is designated for Rh, High Density Residential.
2. The existing parcel is zoned R -1, Single Fancily Residential.
3. Section 501.02.0 of the City Code slates that, "No building permits will be
issued for any construction within the Village unless the building site is
located adjacent to an existing street which is dedicated and maintained as
a Village street, or unless prov'is'ion for street construction has been made
in full compliance with this code and in no case until grading work as
provided herein has been completed and certified to the clerk by the Village
Engineer; except that in isolated instances the Council may enter an agreement
with a property owner for special handling of an unusual situation which agree-
ment shall be recorded so as to run with the land affected."
4. Since Demont Avenue is undeveloped, building permits could not be - issued for
Lots B and C.
Public Works Considerations
1. Proposed Lots B and C could receive water service from a watermain located in
the Demont Avenue right, -of -way. Water service is available to proposed Lot A
from a watermain in Gervais Avenue.
2. Proposed Lot B could receive sanitary sewer service from a manhole located on
the northeast portion of this lot. There is no sanitary sewer service avail-
able to proposed Lot C. Sanitary sewer service is available to proposed Lot A
from a main in Gervais Avenue.
3. The City has no plans to construct Demont Avenue between Flandrau Street and
Bittersweet Lane. Access to proposed Lots B and C would be limited to the
undeveloped 33 foot easement which abuts the north property lines.
Publi Sa Co
A paved, well maintained and snow plowed access road is essential for emergency
vehicles.
Analysis
This lot split should be denied to avoid creating two unbuildable lots. Without
frontage on an improved street, Section 501.020 of the City Code prohibits the
issuance of a building permit.
2
RM
Off feels that Demont Avenue may not be put through in the future. Council has
already gone on record in 1976 as being opposed to pedestrian or vehicular traffic:
using this route. So far, only the south half of the right-of-way has been acquired.
Acquisition of the north half would involve removing the house at Flandrau Street
and Demont Avenue.
This property should not be divided any further, unles.s.it is done with a plat.
Council already approved one split for this property on Gervais Avenue. It is
clear that further land divisions should not be allowed until a street system is
designed for this area as part of a plat.
Recommendation
Denial of the proposed lot division on
access onto an improved and maintained
Municipal Code.
the basis that neither lots 0 or C have
street, as per Section 501.020 of the

FROM Acting City Manager
SUB'JEC'T: Negotiations with international Brotherhood of
Teamsters Vocal 320 and the City
L'
The Metropolitan Area Managers Association (M.A.M.A,) has
asked the nineteen previous participating cities and others
for an indication by October 18 on their desire to partici-
pate in joint negotiating with Local 320 I.B.T. for the 1979
contract agreement,
For several years the City of Maplewood has participated in
this joint. approach. At this time, Staff feels, the city has
four possible options to follow. They are
l' M.A..M.A. joint negotiating.
2. Retaining a private consulting firm.
3. Retaining a private consultant.
& City Staff handling.
Fast experience has indicated that this endeavor is very time
consuming and almost beyond the time available for City Staff
to handle. This appears to rule out the fourth option at this
time.
Staff recommends the City Council consider and decide on one
of the first three options.

general information on this matter which we intend to use
for public information purposes as we approach the oral.
argument date. We would like to include in this material.
a list of the Minnesota cities that acted to support
Richfield in this litigation.
If your city is considering action to support Richfield,

sideration.

RESOLUTION SUPPORTING CITY OF RICHFIELD
LAWSUIT CONTESTING PELRA COMPULSORY
BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISIONS
WHEREAS, the City of Richfield has initiated a lawsuit contesting
the compulsory binding arbitration provisions of PELRA (City of
Richfield vs. Local No. 1215, International Association of Fire Fighters
and State of Minnesota, Intervenor), and
WHEREAS, this lawsuit is currently under appeal to the Minnesota
Supreme Court, and
WHEREAS, the PELRA binding arbitration provisions delegate
fundamental decisions regarding the kind, extent and cost of govern-
mental services to private, politically unaccountable individuals,
and
WHEREAS, cities .in Minnesota have generally had poor experience
with these binding arbitration provisions in that decisions have
been unfair, inflationary and detrimental to the collective bargaining
process, and
WHEREAS, other viable, more fair and just alternatives do exist
to the PELRA binding arbitration provisions.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City
of , Minnesota, as follows:
1. That this city supports the City of Richfield in this
lawsuit and directs that a copy of this resolution of
support be filed with the League of Minnesota Cities.
2. (optional) That the sum of $100 is hereby authorized
to be paid to the League of Minnesota Cities to assist
in financing the cost of appealing this lawsuit to the
Minnesota Supreme Court.
Passed by the City Council of the City of
Minnesota, this day of August, 1978.
I am writing to provide information and seek the support
of your city in our lawsuit contesting the compulsory
,binding arbitration provisions of the Minnesota Public
Employees Labor Relations Act.
This action was initiated by the Richfield City Council
as a result of an arbitration panel award issued
March 31, 1977 for a 1976 labor contract with Local 1215,
International Association of Fire Fighters. In addition
to the question of whether binding arbitration is con-
stitutional, the lawsuit involves Issue IX of this arbi-
tration award concerning contract duration.
The Attorney General intervened at the district court
level'on the side of the bargaining unit to defend the
constitutionality of the statute. In addition, the
American Federation of State, County and Municipal
Employees AFL -CIO joined the proceedings as amici curiae
at this lower court level in support of the bargaining
unit position. On January 19, 1978, Judge Allen Oleisky
in Hennepin County District Court issued an Order and
Memorandum denying the city's motion to declare the com-
pulsory binding arbitration provisions of PERLA uncon-
stitutional and refusing to vacate the arbitration award
pertaining to Issue IX.
The Richfield City Council decided to appeal the lower
court decision to the Minnesota Supreme Court. -While
a Supreme Court hearing date has not yet been set, the
court has indicated a preference to hear this matter
early in the fall term and we can anticipate a date in
late September or early October.
In June, 1977, the League of Minnesota Cities Board of
Directors voted to support this Richfield action. The
Board found it to have very great potential impact on
cities throughout the state. Moreover, the Richfield
TV

position was consistent with adopted League policies on impass
resolution with public employee unions. The League has joined
the proceedings as amici curiae at the Supreme Court level and
will assist in coordinating efforts of individural local governments
who wish to support the lawsuit.
The City of Richfield and the League of Minnesota Cities have both
filed their Supreme Court briefs. On the other side, the Attorney
General, and AFCME have filed their briefs. The IAFF has not yet
filed its brief but is expected to do so shortly. In addition, the
Minnesota Education Association has intervened at the Supreme Court
level and will file a brief on behalf of it's membership in support
of the arbitration provisions.
This lawsuit is the first attempt to determine the constitutionality
of the compulsory binding arbitration provisions of PELRA since
first enacted in 1971. However, similar efforts have occurred in
other states with varying degrees of success. The most recent
litigation occurred in Texas where a lower court decision found the
Texas arbitration law unconstitutional. Early in July the Hartford,
Connecticut Superior Court found that state's compulsory arbitration
law unconstitutional. A copy of an NLC news article on this Connecticut
decision is attached.
You will note in the article on the Connecticut decision that 75
Connecticut municipalities helped to support the action initiated in
that state. We believe that in addition to LMC support it would be
very helpful for the court and our state legislatures to know that
a large number of cities in the state are concerned with the binding
arbitration provisions in the state statutes. Therefore, I am asking
that you bring this matter to the attention of your city council and
recommend that your city support our action through adoption of the
attached resolution.
We are requesting that interested cities help defray the cost of the
Supreme Court appeal with a $100 contribution (should contributions
exceed costs, we will return the balance on a pro rata basis). How-
ever, please note that the contribution is not a prerequisite for
the resolution of support. It is most important that cities indicate
their positions with respect to this litigation by adopting a resolution
similar to the sample which is attached.
Please send a copy of your city's resolution to:
Mr. Stan Peskar, General Counsel
League of Minnesota Cities
300 Hanover Building
980 Cedar Street
St. Paul, Minnesota 55101
Checks should be made out to the League of Minnesota Cities and
designated for this binding arbitration lawsuit.

Inasmuch as the Supreme Court could hear this case as early as next
month, we would appreciate a response as soon as possible. Any
inquiries on details of the case should be directed to Stan Peskar,

FROM: Acting City Manager
SUBJECT: Budget Transfer - Overhead Projector
DATE: October 16, 1978
Staff is requesting that Council transfer $424.00 from the General Fund
Contingency Account for the purchase of a 3M overhead projector. The
previous projector was being used from the Office of Emergency Prepared-
ness. It was taken to a repair shop after a fire developed in it at a
Planning Commission meeting. The repair shop informed us that this was
an obsolete unit and parts were no longer available. Also, the fire had
made the unit unsalvageable.

SUBJECT: 1978 Budget Transfer Request
City General Fund Contingency 161 -4910 to Police
Capital Outlay 121 -4640
The ° 1978 labor agreement between the City and I.B.T. 320 as
the result of arbitration under Article XIX lists firearms
as a required article of clothing and equipment. The City
has never furnished firearms in the past. However, several
other cities have not done so either, but are making arrange-
ments to do so at the present time. According, Staff proposes
to purchase a standard police handgun and have it engraved
"City of Maplewood ". These weapons will become department
issue to each officer with the City retaining ownership.
Preliminary bid inquiries indicate a cost of approximately
$150.00 per weapon. Fifty guns will allow spares and for
replacements for the foreseeable future.
Staff recommends a budget transfer of $7,500.00 from the 1978
City General Fund contingency budget account 161 -4910 to
Police capital outlay, other equipment, 121 -4640.

RE Annual Audit - 1978
DATE October. 12, 1978
DeLaHunt, Voto & Company, our present auditing firm, has pre-
sented for approval and execution an agreement for auditing
services for the year 1978. The proposed agreement reflects
an increase in hourly rates that will increase the audit cost
to approximately $14,310. This is $778 or 5.75% greater than
the 1977 audit bill.
DeLaHunt, Voto & Company has provided Maplewood with satisfac-
tory auditing services since 1967. The firm is experienced
in municipal audits and presently has approximately twelve
other governmental bodies as clients including the cities of
White Bear Lake, South St. Paul, Stillwater, and New Brighton.
Therefore, it is recommended that staff be authorized to
execute an agreement with DeLaHunt, Voto & Company for the 1978
audit.

TO : Mayor and City Council
FROM . Acting City Manager
SUBJECT: Court Lease - 1979
DATE October 12, 1978
Request
/ e
A representative of Ramsey County has requested a lease proposal from
the City to allow the Municipal Court to remain in the City Hall during 1979.
Background
When the City's Municipal Court was abolished effective January 1, 1975,
a two -year lease was entered into with Ramsey County at $10,320 per year.
This amount was based upon a rate of $5.00 per square foot determined by a
comparison of market rental rates for comparable office facilities. This
rate of $5.00 per square foot was also used by the cities of New Brighton,
North St. Paul, and White Bear Lake in their court leases. When the lease
was renewed for 1977 and 1978, the rate was left at $5.00 per square foot.
However in 1978, the usage rate for the court reporter and attorney offices
was increased from 60% to 100% which increased the annual rent from $10,320
to $10,350.
Analysis
Continuation of the Court lease requires an analysis of the City costs
associated with the Court in order to set a fair lease rate. This analysis
involves cost accounting calculations and was based upon guidelines used
by Hennepin County for their leases of court facilities. A breakdown of the
costs is found in Exhibit A and indicates total costs are estimated at
$10,721 for 1979. Relating this amount to the court rental area of 2,070
sq. ft. yields a square footage rate $5.18.
Other cities in Ramsey County were surveyed to determine the rate that
they are charging the county for court space. This survey indicated the
following rates per square foot:
The rate charged by Roseville has always been higher because they have a new
City Hall. Proposed rates for 1979 are 6% greater than 1978. Maplewood did
not increase its rental rate for 1978 from $5.00 to $5.30 because last year's
cost accounting analysis indicated City costs were only $4.86 per square foot.
The 1979 Budget includes estimated court lease revenue of $10,970 which
represents a 6% increase over 1978 and $5.30 per square foot. The 6%
anticipated increase in rent in the 1979 Budget was based upon an agreement
between the Ramsey County city managers that they would all request the same
percentage increase.

anticipated increase in rent in the 1979 Budget was based upon an agreement
between the Ramsey County city managers that they would all request the same
percentage increase.
ulterhatives
1. Increase the lease rate from $5.00 to $5.18 per square foot to
recoup only the estimated actual costs of the City for leasing
the court space. This would generate $10,722.60 per year ($893.55
per month).
2. Increase the lease rate by 6% from $5.00 to per square foot
in order to match the percentage rate increase proposed by other
cities. This would generate $10,971 per year ($914.25 per month).
3. Increase the lease rate from $5.00 to $5.62 per square foot in
order to match the rate charged by other cities. This would
generate $11,633.40 per year ($969.45 per month).
Recommendation
Staff suggests the third alternative because for,the past several years
the suburbs have attempted to keep the lease rates the same. Therefore, it
is recommended that staff be authorized to execute a lease agreement with
Ramsey County for court space during 1979 at $5.62 per square foot.

FROM: Acting City Manager
RE Commercial Revenue Note Request - Wendy's Restaurant
DATE: October 13, 1978
Request
G.y
On October 11th the attached request (Exhibit A) was received from Gerald
Mogren requesting to be placed on the October 16th Council meeting agenda.
Mr. Mogren is requesting a City commercial revenue note for financing a
Wendy's restaurant. A summary of the proposed project is outlined-in
Exhibit B. The location of the proposed restaurant is on the northwest
corner of White Bear Avenue and Woodlyn Avenue.
Background
The steps involved in this type of financing are as follows:
1. Developer signs agreement to pay all costs involved in the issuance
of a note to finance the project.
2. Staff determination of whether the proposed project meets the
criteria adopted by the Council on December 8, 1977 (Exhibit C).
3. If the proposed project meets the City's criteria, the Council
adopts a resolution authorizing an application for State approval
of the proposed project.
4. Upon State approval, the Council adopts a resolution authorizing
the issuance of a revenue note.
In the past, the Council has received two applications for financing of this
type and both were approved. These were:
Date Note Amount
Authorized Project of Note Mortgagee
4 -20 -78 Maplewood Square $1,600,000 Midwest Federal
6 -1 -78 Denny's Restaurant $ 475,000 Hillcrest MidAmerica
The financial consultant representing the developers.in both of these projects
was Juran and Moody, Incorporated. The bond counsel representing the City in
both of these projects was Briggs and Morgan, Professional Association.
Analysis
Mr. Mogren has signed an agreement to pay all costs involved in financing the
proposed project. The project clearly meets all of the criteria outlined in
Exhibit C except for item 0. The only question here is whether or not the
City desires another restaurant in this area. The property is zoned properly
for restaurant use. The Planning Commission however, has indicated a concern
regarding the number of restaurants in this area.
.,
The financial consultant representing the developer for this project is
First Corporate Services, Incorporated. Their report on the economic
feasibility of the project is outlined in Exhibit D. The bond counsel to
represent the City for the proposed project is Briggs and Morgan based upon
the developer's request and the City Attorney's recommendation.
Recommendat
Staff recommends that the Council adopt the attached resolution (Exhibit.E)
if an additional restaurant is desired in the area specified. If the Council
believes that there are too many restaurants in this area, the proposal does
not meet criteria three and then the attached resolution should not be
approved.

RE: Proposed $350,000 Commercial Development Revenue
Note of the City of Maplewood, Minnesota
( Mogren Bros Restaurant Project)
Gentlemen:
At the request of Mr. Gerald Mogren, we have conducted an informal
study as to the economic feasibility of the proposal that the
City of Maplewood issue its revenue obligations under provisions
of the Minnesota Municipal Industrial Development Act to provide
funds for the construction of a restaurant facility on property
located in the City of Maplewood.
Our study has led us to conclude that on the basis of current
financial conditions, the project is economically feasible and
the revenue obligations of the City can be successfully issued
and sold. We propose to act as agent for the City and the
Company in arranging for the private placement of the obligations
with one or more financial institutions, on a best efforts basis,
subject to the approval of the project by the City of Maplewood
and the Minnesota Department of Commerce and subject to final
agreement among the City, the Company and the ultimate purchasers
as to the terms and conditions of the issuance and sale of the
obligations.
Very truly yours,

RELATED MATTERS IN CONNECTION WITH SAID
PROJECT
WHEREAS,
(a) The request of Mogren Landscaping, a Minnesota
partnership (hereinafter "Mogren ") for assistance in financing
its Restaurant Construction (hereafter "Project ") warrants
the support of the City of Maplewood, because (i) the City
has an interest in delivery of commercial services to area
residents; and (ii) additional job opportunities will be
generated by the Project.
(b) The purpose of Chapter 474, Minnesota
Statutes, known as the Minnesota Municipal Industrial
Development Act (hereinafter called "Act ") as found and
determined by the legislature is to promote the welfare of
the state by the active attraction, encouragement and
development of economically sound development proposals.
(c) The City Council has received from
Mogren a proposal, which proposal is outlined in a letter,
a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A, that the
City assist in the financing of the Project through
the issuance of a Revenue Note pursuant to the Act, and,
if necessary, to issue one or more notes on an interim
basis in anticipation of payment from the proceeds of such
note.
Exhibit E
(Page 2 of 7)
(d) The City of Maplewood desires to facilitate
the selective development of the community and to help it
provide the range of services and employment opportunities
required by its population and said Project will assist the
City in achieving that objective.
(e) Mogren will be engaged as a developer in the
acquisition and improvement of restaurant properties. The
Project to be financed in whole or part by the proposed
commercial development revenue note will be new facilities
containing retail rental space, anticipated to be used for
a restaurant of approximately 7a person seating capacity,
and consists of the construction and installation thereon
of land, buildings and improvements from this date forth,
and will result in the employment of fifty full or part -
time people to work within the new facilities.
(f) The City has been advised by representatives
of Mogren that conventional, commercial financing to pay
the capital cost of undertaking the Project is available
only at such costs of borrowing that the economic feasibility
of undertaking the Project would be reduced, and Mogren has
also advised this Council that with the aid of municipal
financing, and its resulting lower borrowing cost, the
Project is economically enhanced.
(g) First Corporate Services, Inc., Investment Bankers,
Minneapolis, Minnesota, has advised that on the basis of
information submitted to them and their discussions with
representatives of Mogren, such note could in their opinion
be issued and sold upon favorable rates and terms in the
amount required.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council

upon any property or funds of the City except the Project

the City be subject to any liability thereon. The bondholders
shall never have the right to compel any exercise of the
taxing power of the City to pay the note or the interest
thereon, nor to enforce payment thereof against any property

the use of interim, short -term financing, subject to

and if delivered, but otherwise without liability on the
part of the City.

RE: Mogren Project
Gentlemen:
As you know, we are embarking on a Restaurant
Construction Project, the details of which are indicated in
the summary description attached to this letter.
Upon consulting with First Corporate Services, Inc.,
Investment Bankers, it appears desirable for us to ask
your assistance in financing of the project through sale
of a revenue note of the City. This procedure, which we
understand to be at no cost nor risk to the City, would
allow us to obtain financing at more favorable rates, and
will allow the passing of such savings on to users of the
Project. There are other traditional reasons why we
believe you should take the minimum steps necessary to
assist us in this request, and they are summarized in the
preliminary resolution which has been prepared and reviewed
by Briggs and Morgan, bond counsel, and First Corporate Services,
Inc.
We hereby confirm our representation that we
have no present binding financing commitment, no general
contract, nor any legal obligation to undertake and finish
the proposed project, and it is not certain the Project
would be completed without the assistance requested
herein.
We respectfully request approval of the draft
resolution.
Upon such approval, you have our commitment as
to the following preliminary details:
I. Mogren Landscaping, a Minnesota
Partnership, (hereinafter called "Mogren ")
shall provide for the construction, acquisi-
tion and installation of such facilities
Exhibit E
(Page 6 of 7)
(hereinafter called "Project ") at its Maplewood
location as Mogren deems necessary for the
purpose of meeting its Project plans.
2. In the event that Mogren shall
determine that adequate long term private
financing is not reasonably available for said
Project, Mogren shall request the City of
Maplewood to issue a Commercial Development
Revenue Note of the City in a total amount of
approximately $350,000, provided that the
following conditions are met:
(a) That the Project be approved
by the Commissioner of Securities.
(b) That the details of said
financing and the security for the
same be subject to final approval by
the City Council and of Mogren, which
approvals shall not be unreasonably
withheld by the City Council or Mogren.
3. Mogren shall pay any and all costs
incurred by the City in connection with
the Project whether or not the Project is
completed and whether or not the Project is
ultimately financed by a Revenue Note of the
City.
