Meeting No. 70 - 1C
I T E M
E The bid tabulations are enclosed and the award recommendation is
included in the tabulation. You will note that the apparent low
bidder is not necessarily recommended, because costs of transporta-
tion and vehicle time effect the actu;:l final costs of some of
these itams.
HH =1 As you know, suit has been filed agaii,st the Village to make the
Council grant a building permit to the Box Son Building Company
for the construction of apartments and townhouses on the west side
of Sterling near Brookvisti°r Avenue. The Council has also received a
request that the area in question be rezoned. The Village Attorney.
has suggested that any rezoning actio, would probably be stopped by
injunction prior to completion.
H -2 a) Bailey Seida will present some alternate types of materials which
might be utilized by the church. We :emind the Council that this i>
a subjective -type decision which can only be made by the Council ar.d
not by the administrative staff. The building in question will be
semi - public in nature and will be located in what will probably devalope
as a residential area.
b) Ruse.all C. Morgan, the owner of tie Superamerica service static-i
site at Upper Afton Road and Century avenue, has requested that the
Council Nithdraw the condition included in the plan approval vahich
restricis future additions closer to Jpper Afton Road. After placi-Ig
this iten on the agenda I discovered hat present ordinance provis!Dns
(in addition to the condition) restri;t farther .expansion tosard
Upper Afton Road; therefore, the waiving of the condition will not
solve Ma . Morgan's problem. He trill. 0e so advised.
H -3 On May 15, 1969 the Village Council a>proved a planned unit developnent,
for Dorc, Inc., to be located at the northeast corner of Larpenteux
and McKright. The approval was based on the condition that constriction
begin w;thin 12 months. This is now an impossibility. The Dolan
Engineering Company has requested an axtention of the time limit. The
applicants claim that the tight money situation has prevented con-
struction and that a financial committment has now been secured (see
encloses'). It is recemmended that th=_ request be denied and that the
applicants be advised that reapplication is the proper procedure.
Time limits are the Village's insuracce that conditions will not clange
in the area prier to construction am also that the applicants are
serious and ready to take action witiin a reasonable time. If one
time expension is granted, planned urit applicants will no longer -.ake
them seriously.
HH ^4 John Bo.and (Park R Recreation Commission) and Peter Shattuck (MP.F.!
wish to make a presentation regarding the development of the Oster,,ren
park (p :-oposed) site. We have received (and forwarded to the Commission)
an appraisal of the Ostergren land The appraisal value is $35,2:X`.
H -5 The St. Paul Ski Club has been unable to find a location for its bingo
activities (see enclosed letter) and requests that the bingo regulations
regarding location (be changed ) to allow the club to operate at
the Maplewood Bowl. The requirements of the Maplewood Code were placed
_ in effect to avoid the establishment of bingo establishments.(Sea Code
802.020).
H -6 Second reading (final adoption).
H -7 Enclosed is a report from Tom McMahon which summarizes the provisions
of the proposed agreement with the Ci:y of St. Paul for sevier service
to the V_llage. The contract provides for lower rates than are
technically in effect now and are ret::oactive to 1965. Tom's report
presents a history of the contract.
ri`8 Encloses; is a copy of the proposed street agreement with North St. Paul
which allows that Village to improve 11th Avenue from McKnight to Wnite
Bear Avenue and Ariel from 9th Avenue to Flanders Road. It also provides
for reir,bursement to North St. Paul by Maplewood for the improvements
as the abutting land in Maplewood developes.
H_9 a) This project is found feasible but it is recommended that acti m
be delayed pending improvements of Cei.tury and McKnight and pending
completion of the TOPICS program. (Report enclosed).
b) This report will be made at the meting.
H -10 Tom will present this report at the meting.
H_11 These plans are acceptable to our eng'.neer with certain changes which
will be ?xplained at the meeting.
H -12 Authorization to remove the temporary load restrictions from the st .-eets
is requested.
II =1 Mr. Weaver is having drainage problem:: which are evidently confined to
private properties. The Village cannrt legally take action in this
matter. He has been informed that it is a civil matter, but he sti'.1
wishes t) appear before the Council.
I -2 Mr. Vale:tine wishes to receive a var:ance from the provisions of
Maplewood's building code which provides for a maximum floor area o,*
750 squa ^e feet for private garages. He wishes to construct a garage
with a square footage of 1 152 square feet. It is recommended that the
request be denied. A report from the Planner which includes an int rest -
ing history on Mr. Valentine is enclo::ed. He is now operating Val';
Body Shop at that location.
1-3 a) Approval recommended (on Century north of Minnehaha).
b) Approval recommended with conditions.
1-4 A petition signed by 52.5 °6 of the prol:erty frontage has been submit;:ed.
It shout -1 be accepted and a feasibili'.y study ordered.
I -5 The release of escrow I to the Tilsen Construction Company is
recommended (report enclosed).
I -6 Routine
1-7 Authority is requested to lease a Model 5600 Pitney- Bovres Mailing
Machine for $24.32 per month on a five -year contract. The outright
purchase of the machine would cost $1;.030. The purchase price is not
included in the 1970 budgat and the leasing method provides a more
flexible operation in the type of machine used. Our present machine
which we leases cannot accomodate our sewer billing methods.
I -8 Ordinance No. 260 provides for initial terms to the Park and Recreation
of one-year (three members), two years (three members), and three

the lega:I ty of the investments.
OTHER Enclosed is a copy of the Treasurer's financial statement for 1969.
Also I an enclosing a copy of the Brooklyn Center ordinance regardiig

AMENDMENT TO MINUTES OF MEETING NO. 70 -6
MARCH 19, 1970
May 7, 1970: Mr. Charles Brady stated that at the meeting of March 19,
1970 he requested information regarding the operations of the Parkside
Fire Department and their involvment in a organization known as the
J and J Realty. Nothing appeared in the minutes of the meeting.
May 7, 1970: Councilwoman Olson moved that the minutes of March 19
1970 be amended to reflect Mr. Brady's statements.
Seconded by Councilman Wiegert.
Ayes - all.
Mr. Brady, who did not identify himself, stated there was discussion
at the March 5, 1970 meeting regarding a building of a road off of
McMenemy having to do with a building that is being constructed and
part, of that land on one side of the road belongs to the Fire Department
and part of the land on the other side of the road belongs to another
company. And it seemed to him that the planner had given a legal opinion
that he had approval of 1 signature covering both areas, that because the
man was a member of the fire department and was able to sign for them and
was also a member of the development company his signature was good in
both cases. This seems highly illegal to Mr. Brady and he feels this
whole area needs an airing if this is land that was bought by a non - profit
organization and now suddenly we find it is in the hands of a profit- making
organization investigating either by the Council here or by some higher body.
He would like to see some action taken on this.
Mayor Axdahl stated there would be no official action since it is the
Attorney's opinion that this is not a proper action for the Village at
this time.

2. Building Permits
a. Holy Redeemer Church - Reconsideration
George Rossbach, 1406 E. County Road C., representing
Holy Redeemer Church, had appeared at a previous meeting
requesting approval of building plans for the new church
at Hazelwood and County Road C. He requested approval of
concrete block for the entire building. Council had
approved the plans with the stipulation that the front of
the Church be brick - front. Mr. Rossbach is requesting
reconsideration of this stipulation. He showed several
slides and photographs of concrete block buildings. It
is still the plans of the church to, in the future, face
the building on the street sides with brick, or stone.
The possibility of sealing or painting the concrete blocks
was discussed.
b. Administrator Seida presented the Staff Report and
presented photographs of alternate types of materials
which might be utilized by the Church. Discussion was
held regarding the type of eaves, window frames and the
column supports to be constructed and painted.
c. Councilman Greavu moved to approve the building plans for
the Holy Redeemer Church with the same conditions as

read: "Break off Block may be used on four sides of the

b. Super America Station (Upper Afton Road)
Manager Miller presented a request from Super America
for Council to withdraw the condition included in
their plan approval which restricts future additions
to be built closer to Upper Afton Road. After placing
this item on the agenda Mr. Miller discovered that
present ordinance provisions restrict further expan-
sion toward Upper Afton Road; therefore, the waiving
of the condition will not solve Super America Company's
problem. They will be so advised.
Special Use Permit - Request for Time Extension (Doro, Inc.)
Manager Miller presented a request from Doro, Inc. to
extend the limit for their Special Use Permit for
Planned Unit Development at the M.E. corner of Larpenteur
Avenue and McKnight Road.
On May 15, 1969 the Village Council approved a planned unit
development, for Doro, Inc., to be located at the northeast
corner of Larpenteur and McKnight. The apnroval was based
on the condition that construction begin Within 12 months.
This is now an impossibility. The Dolan Engineering Company
has requested an extention of the time limit. The applicants
claim that the tight money situation has prevented construc-
tion and that a financial committment has now been secured.
Bill Dolan, Dolan Engineering Company stated they have in the
early part of 1970 started to make progress to put together
a joint venture with the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company
through the Northland Mortgage Company of Minneapolis. Because
of the size of he project and the fact that the mortgage will
be a "joint venture" between Doro, Inc. and the Metropolitan
Life Insurance Company the paper work and details for the
financing have taken considerably longer than they originally
anticipated. They would like to request at this time an ex-
tention to allow them to start construction on the project in
September 1970 with completion in the Spring of 1972. The
plans for the development are exactly the same as previously
approved.
- 5 - 5 -7
Robert C. Flakne, Vice President of Northland
Mortgage Company stated he will be meeting with
a representative of the Metropolitan Life Insurance
Company and since there is a great deal of paper
work involved, in fact, it could take up to 90
days to complete all the paper work in itself, he
feels a 6 month extension would be necessary. Mr.
Flakne further stated he would have a committment
within 30 days or a documentation to prove the
intent of committment. Other partners in this
"joint venture" are Oliver Ojdahl, Charles Cox,
and John Morrison.
Council stated they felt they would like something
more definite to rely on rather than just maybe
within 30 days a letter of committment will be
available. Administrator Seida stated that in
case of an extension an alternative would be to
set a time element of 45 days and post a $5,000
bond by May 15, 1970 to guarantee performance or
in the absent of it to guarantee restoration of
the property for the soil boring tests that have
made at the site.
Councilman Wiegert moved to approve the extension
of the permit for 45 days with the posting of a $5,000
performance bond by May 15, 1970, guaranteeing
performance and showing evidence to the satisfaction
of the Council of the joint venture between Doro, Inc.,
Metropolitan Life Insurance Company through the
Northland Mortgage Company, Oliver Oodahl and Associates
and in the absence of such evidence the bond would
guarantee restoration of the site.
Seconded by Councilman Greavu. Ayes - all.
Mr. Dolan questioned if it were proper within this 45 day
period, to go before the Planning Commission with his
plans.
Council stated this was proper.
Ostergren Proposed Park Site - Presentation
Mr. John Boland, representing the Park and Recreation
Commission made the presentation regarding the Ostergren
Park proposed site. Parkside area has a lack of land for
development for recreational purposes. The Commission
requests permission from the Council to proceed with
obtaining the Ostergren property. Appraisal of this pro-
perty is $35,250.00.
6 - 5 -7
b. Mr. Peter Shattuck representing the M.A.A. stated that
this additional land is needed for this area due to the
increase of population and also the increase of needed
recreation facilities for the youth. The property could
be developed now at very little cost. The Lion's Club
has donated a hockey rink of which the Recreation Department
has no land to build it on. He requested Council to act on
the acquistion of this property and to grant Staff authority
to investigate the financial aspects of the program and
negotiate with Mr. Ostergren on price; grant Staff authority
to lease this property if an agreement cannot be reached.
c. Mr. Jack Gallagher, 1785 Agate stated although he lives
west of 35E, he feels this area ( Ostergren Site) is the
Central playground. Younger children would be unable to
cross 35E to use this facility but the site would benefit
the older youth and it would be a place to start.
d. Councilwoman Olson moved that the Staff be authorized to
negotiate on the sale of the property and also for Staff
to prepare a financial feasibility study.
Seconded by Councilman Wiegert. Ayes - all.
5. Ordinance Change Request (Bingo Regulations) - St. Paul Ski Club
a. Manager Miller presented a request from the St. Paul Ski
Club to change the Maplewood Ordinance to allow them to
operate a bingo game at the Maplewood Bowl. The Ordinance
states that only one organization be allowed to operate
at a location. The Lion's Club already operates a bingo
game at the Maplewood Bowl.
b. Mr. Bill Mahre, representing the St. Paul Ski Club stated
he has been unable to find another location for its bingo
activities.
c. Councilwoman Olson moved that the Maplewood Ordinance re-
ag rding Bingo games not be changed.
Seconded by Councilman Haugan. Ayes - all.
Mayor Axdahl called a five minute recess.
Mayor Axdahl reconvened the meeting at 10:13 P.M.
During the recess, Attorney Don Lais talked with Mr. William Rosen
Attorney for Bor Son, and requested that the Council defer any
action regarding this property and continued this matter for two
weeks to give the opportunity to work out an agreement. The purpose
of this is to avoid complicating the total issue and at the same
time not lose any rights that the Council or the Village may have
in this matter at this time.
- 7 - 5 -7
Councilman Wiegert moved to defer any action on this
matter for two weeks.
Seconded by Councilman Greavu. Ayes - all.
6. Ordinance No. 266 (Adoption) License and Permit Fees
a. Manager Miller read the proposed Ordinance.
b. Councilwoman Olson introduced the following Ordinance
and moved its adoption: Final

ing within the limits of the Village of Maplewood.

Seconded by Councilman Haugan. Ayes - all.
7. Sewer Service Contract - City of St. Paul
a. Engineering Administrator McMahon presented a report which
summarized the provisions of the proposed agreement with
the City of St. Paul for sewer service to the Village. The
contract provides for lower rates than are technically in
effect now and are retroactive to 1965. Mr. McMahon presented
the history to the contract. Due to the fact that as of January
1, 1971 the Metropolitan Sewer Board will assume responsibility for
allocating and collecting sewer revenue, Mr. McMahon recommended
executing the sewer rate contract with the City of St. Paul at the
reduced rates to the Village that are stated so that the Village will
have a firm contract when the Metro Sewer Board takes over.
- 8 - 5 -7
Councilman Wiegert introduced the following resolution and
moved its adoption:
70 - 5- 54
WHEREAS, the City of St. Paul and Village of Maplewood have
negotiated the terms of an agreement between the City of St. Paul
and Village of Maplewood authorizing the interconnection of Public
Sewers, said Agreement having initially been determined in 1967;
BE IT RESOLVED, that the Mayor and the Clerk of the Village of
Maplewood are hereby authorized and directed to execute said
Agreement and to deliver said executed copies of the Agreement to
the City of St. Paul, Minnesota.
Seconded by Councilman Greavu.
Ayes - all.
c. Engineering Administrator McMahon requested the Council approve
a resolution objecting to section 5, paragraph 9 of the new
"Agreement for Sewer Service."
d. Councilman Wiegert introduced the following resolution and
moved its adoption:
70 -5 -54A
WHEREAS, the Village of Maplewood has authorized execution of an
"Agreement for the Interconnection of Public Sewers "; and
WHEREAS, the City of St. Paul has interpreted Section 5, paragraph 9,
of said Agreement in such manner as to cause a disproportionate share of
costs of extra - ordinary maintenance to be borne by an affected suburb;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE VILLAGE OF
MAPLEWOOD that:
1. The aforementioned interpretation is objectionable and
unreasonable;
2. The aforementioned Section 5, paragraph 9, will be deemed
reasonable and acceptable only when the basis of cost
participation is related to percentage of conduit capacity
appropriated;
3. The following be sustituted for Section 5, paragraph 9 of
said Agreement:
"9. Suburb shall pay City a charge for Suburb's share of
of the costs of jointly -used sewers serving the Suburb.
This charge is to reimburse the City for Suburbs' share
of those expenses which the City incurs in making repairs
which, under accepted accounting practice, are not embraced
in the cost of current maintenance and repair under sub-
division 6 of this Section. Suburb's share of such cost
shall be computed by apportioning the total cost thereof
between the City and Suburb in the proportion which the
total capacity appropriated for the Suburb, in the parti-
cular sewers repaired, bears to the total capacity available
through such sewers.
- 9 - 5 -7
When such extra - ordinary repairs are deemed necessary
by the City, the City shall immediately notify the
Suburb of the requirement therefore, to include an
estimate of costs of such repairs."
Seconded by Councilman Greavu. Ayes - all.

Village to improve 11th Avenue from McKnight to White Bear

Agreement also provides for reimbursement to North St. Paul
by Maplewood for the improvements as the abutting land in
