The Police Department is running checks on these persons and to date

D -2 This project (Minnehaha to Conway) is to benefit the Health Spa
being constructed on Carlton. 3M is an owner of property in the
assessment area and may want an indication from the Village that
it will be willing to cooperate in the construction of a 16 to 20
inch water line on Conway (Carl-ton to McKnight) if 3M is not to
object to the Carlton Street p:;oject.
H -1 It is suggested that you stop Jrly and listen to the tape of the
meeting pertaining to the issuance of the mobile home park permit
of the Beaver Lake Estates. Dates of importance to the permit
are as follows:
May 16, 1968 - Village Council received petition for
a mobile home park and referred it to
the Planning Ccramission.
June 3, 1968 -
Planning Commission held a public hearing
and recommended approval of the special
use permit.
June 6, 1968 -
Council received recommendation and
approved permit subject to approval of
final plans.
July 11,1968 -
Council instructed developers to take no
further action in site development.
August 1,1968 -
Temporary restraining order served on
Village.
October 24,1968
- Council held second public hearing and
granted special use permit.
July 10, 1968 -
Council approved final plan for development
with conditions.
H -2 We have invited a representative of the County Engineers' Office
to meet with you.
H -3 At the time of this writing we have not received any additional
information from the Dolan Engineering Company regarding concrete
proof of financial commitment.
H -4 The Council requested that I contact the Twin City Lines regarding
their willingness to use Ferndale and Harvester Streets for their
turn - around without using Midvale Place. They have agreed to do
so with a resolution from the Council. The Company is presently
using the East County Line Fire Station property for its turning.
H -5 Enclosed is a repo•f•t on the landfill operation on 'County Road "C"
(Elmer Stanke). The minutes do not reflect any ccraditions at all.
It is mentioned that the area was, at that time (;day 1966), a
"slew ", but it is not indicated in the minutes that this was the
reason for granting of the permit.
I -1 A valid petition for the vacation of Mayhill between Brookview
and I -94. A hearing date should be set. August 6th is suggested.
I -2 The applicants (Signcrafters Outdoor Display Co.) for this sign
permit (East Side Railing Property on Highway 36) —lured the
original permit on the basis that it was to adve- the business
located on the property. It was later discover this was
not to be the case and work was halted by the , Inspector.
As per Village Ordinance$ the permit for billb ) by 25 feet)
is referrer for yc?ur consideration. It has be Council's
policy to deny such applications (see encloser? ). It is
recommended that the Council reaffirm this po:' ,e
I -3 3M has requested -that the Village c;strict parking on Conway from
McKnight to Century to avoid "rather severe traffic operational
problems and excessive delays along Conway Avenue during the
afternoon peak traffic period." Conway was designed for four
traffic lanes and adequate off - street parking facilities are pro-
vided for 3M employees. We recommend approval of the request.
I -4 The Village of Oakdale requests permission to install an emergency
overflow connection from a lift station into our sewer system at
Century and Maryland. This connection would be for emergency use
only (ie. if the lift station should stop operating). The plans
have been approved by staff and authorization of the connection
is approved.
I -5 Included in the lot divisions is one which would result in three
lots. The Council has, to our knowledge, provided for a maximum
of two lots in the past. There is, at this time., no policy
regarding the extent to which lot divisions will be considered by
the Council.
I -6 Your staff feels that the Council should adopt a resolution requesting
the State Highway Department to install an effective median barrier
on Highway 36 east of White Bear Avenue to avoid a future occurance
of an accident such as took place last week at that location.
I -7 The General Safety Equipment Company has notified us that the new
snorkel unit can be delivered earlier than the January 1971 delivery
date. The original agreement called for $40,000. on delivery and
$10000. per year for three years. The Fire Apparatus Fund now has
a balance of $40,000. We would like authority to accept early
delivery.
OTHER We have been advised that the Maplewood school system has agreed to
pay one -half of a school liaison officer's salary up to $6,500. We
will now apply for federal funds for the project.
Staff was mistaken on the request for a street light on Junction
which was discussed at the last meeting. A paved Village street
was involved and the light has been ordered.
Enclosed is a letter from Albert J. Jirovec requesting that he be
allowed to establish a landfill on Linwood Avenue. He has been
advised that such a use will be in violation of the zoning regulations
and has been advised of the proper steps to be taken if he desires
to pursue the matter.
The Metropolitan Council accepted the Lebenon Hills location
for the regional zoo. It is of concern to your staff that the
Metropolitan Council does not appear to utilize its own "master
plan" in making such decisions.

a culvert under it. The contractor stated.it was-,,'t in his contract
to replace culverts. The other driveway now has a 3 foot ditch at
the entrance and is unuseable.
Mr. Stanke stated his own driveway,the contractor has eliminated his
culvert. It was replaced by a sandy apron and a rain would eliminate
tha ". He needs the culvert replaced.
the problems Mr. Stankc, has stated were refc..ed to the Staff.

new to the Council, she stated that all information on the Mobile
Home Park should be put together and an opinion obtained as to
what uses are allowed under a Special Use Permit and can a Special
Use Permit be expanded. She further explained the history of the

2. McKnight Road Plans
a. Manager Miller stated he had nvited a representative of the Ramsey
County Engineer's Office to atteMthe Council meeting to discuss the
proposed construction of McKnight Road from County Road C and County
Road D. The Staff is concerned about the projected traffic count as
it is higher than initially planned and that the roadway is proposed
for 44 foot width in North St. Paul while the roadway in Maplewood
is 48 foot wide. Staff feels 52 foot width would be adequate for
McKnight i:oad from County Road C. to County Road D.
b. Assistant County Engineer Floyd Snyker appeared before the
Council to answer any questions on the proposed plans to construct
McKnight Road from County Road C to County Road D. It would be
impossible for No. St. Paul to expand the roadway to 52 feet. The
County would probably have to delay the McKnight plans if agreement
cannot be reached, or until the County can see if the traffic
projections provided by the Village are correct..
The County has appropriated the necessary monies for the original
plans and the preliminary plans have been presented to Maplewood
with the changes asked for by the Council at the time of the public
hearing in June, 1969.

the original plans as approved at the public hearing of June, 1969 with

3. Planned Unit Development Conditions -
Dolan Engineering Company.
a. Manager Miller stated the Village has not received any
additional information from the Dolan Engineering Company
regarding proof of financial committment. It was the under-
standing that a financial committment would be presented to
Staff before July 2, meeting.
b. Bill Dolan stated that perhaps there had been a misunder-
standing as to the committment. The Village Attorney is now
reviewing the financial committment. (Village Attorney Lais
was handed a copy of the financial committment during the
recess).
c. Mr. Bob Flakne stated he can show the Council a copy of
the committment and a copy of the check to the investor con-
firming the financial arrangements. The developers are now
requesting an extension of 60 to 90 days to complete all
paper work and obtain a Building Permit.
d. Since Attorney Lais just recieved the copy of financial
committment, he cannot give a final opinion. From what he
has studied, he feels it is valid.
e. Councilwoman Olson questioned the developer if he was
going to revise his building plans or site plans in any way.
Mr. Dolan stated "no" there would be no changes. He stated
the basic plans would be available to the Staff within two
weeks.
f. Administrator Seida stated he had written to the
developers inf�,rming them of the stipulations of the original
approval of th Special Use Permit for Planned Unit Development
and the subsequent stipulations added at the time of the approval
of the extensions. If the requested extension is granted, Staff
requests a time limit of 60 days from this date in which to bring
in plans adequate upon which to rule on issuance of permit and
120 days limit from this date a building permit must be drawn
with detailed specifications, and construction started on the
property, and if the developers do not comply and exceed these
time limits a new public hearing will be called on this
Planned Unit Development. These requirements would be for Phase I.
- 8 - 6 -18
g. Councilman Greavu moved to approve the extension of 60 days
from this date to bring in adequate plans on which to issue a
permit and 120 days from this date a building permit must be
drawn and construction started and if these time limits are
exceeded, a new public hearing will be required.
Seconded by Councilwoman Olson. Ayes - all.
4. Bus Route (Harvester - Ferndale)
a. Manager Miller stated he had contacted the Twin City Bus
Lines regarding their willingness to use Ferndale and Harvester
Streets for their turn - around without using Midvale Place. Twin
City Lines have agreed to do so with a resolution from the Council.
The Company is presently using the East County Line Fire Department
property for its turning.
b. Councilwoman Olson introduced the following resolution and
moved its adoption:
70 -7 -85
WHEREAS, requests have been received from residents
in the Harvester - Ferndale area for the return of said
bus route; and
WHEREAS, the Village of Maplewood is requesting bus
service on Stillwater Road to Highway 120; Highway 120 to
Harvester Avenue, Harvester Avenue to Ferndale Street;
Ferndale Street to Stillwater Road;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE VILLAGE OF
MAPLEWOOD, MINNESOTA, that the Twin City Lines, Inc. be
requested to provide a bus route for the above stated
Village Streets.
Seconded by Councilman Greavu. Ayes - all.
5.. Landfill Operation - County Road C.
a. Manager Miller stated the Staff had reviewed the minutes pertaining
to Mr. Elmer Stanke's permit to operate a landfill operation. The
minutes do not reflect any conditions at all.
b. Mr. Elmer Stanke stated in November 1969, the Village Engineering
Administrator called him and asked him to sign an easement to dump
fill dirt on this easement. Consequently the person who was to provide
fill material for this landfill, was told to hold up on any fill because
the Village was going to provide a large amount of fill material for
covering the dump. It has come to past only a small amount of fill was
provided.
- 9 - 6 -18
Henceforth, that is -lhe reason there is delay in providing
a covering for the dump. Mr. Stanke also stated that it
would be another six months for the completion of the
landfill operaion. Mr. Stanke further stated that one of
his monuments was never replaced after the recent sewer
construction. Mr. Stanke informed the Council that his
neighbor, Mr. Gonzales, would like to fill his property too.
c. Administrator Seida stated Staff's concern was that
the Ordinance for landfill operation is not being met and
that stipulations should be imposed and some controls be
placed on this operation. As to Mr. Stanke's neighbor
being allowed to fill his own property, this would have to
be investigated.
d. Councilman Wiegert moved to refer the matter to Staff
to outline the conditions and stipulations to be applied
so the property owner and the Village will have an agreement
spelled out,with a copy given to the property owner and one
filed in the Villaqe Office.
Seconded by Councilman Greavu. Ayes - all.
Staff will state conditions of the landfill, operation and submit
it to Council at the next meeting. As to the monument being
replaced, staff will contact the contractor.
Mr. Richard Kveton, requested the Council delay any action on
the burning ban ordinance for the present time until the Task
Force Committee has presented their final report.

The applicants, Signcrafters Outdoor Display Co. for this
