Station No. 2. It was noted that quotations had been received earlier although
no contract had been awarded in February of 1977. The recommendation was that
the five doors be purchased at the sum of $5,534 from Train City Garage Door
Company, pursuant to the earlier quotes and according to the recent 1977 revi-
sion to the municipal contracting provision. Upon motion by Wachter, seconded
Rydrych, all members voting yes, it was RESOLVED that the recommendation be
approved and the doors be ordered as recommended.

and reviewed alternates for the proposed police facility as requested by the
City Council. Sketch plans of a two-level or three-level building and general
interior sketch designs were reviewed. The consensus of the Council was for a

-I-

all members voting yes that the architect be authorized to prepare plans and
specifications to include the basement and first and second floors with the ramp
to be excluded and an elevator without freight elevator doors.
1977 PARK CONSTRUCTIOI3 PROGRAM. John Voss of Urban Planning and Design
appeared and reviewed the concept plans for improvements in four parks recom-
mended by the Park Committee. Mr. Voss requested that authorization be given
to prepare plans and specifications. Barbara Schmidt indicated that the School
District #197 Board of West St. Paul 'has agreed to pay up to $4,000 for a walk-
way and half the cost of the hockey rink grading for Pilot Knob Park. She also
indicated that--the Park Committee recently became aware that the State of Minne-
sota may fund 50 percent of lighted tennis courts,and there was discussion con-
cerning the possibility of lighted tennis court parks other than Timberline Park.
It was noted that the Timberline Association and homeowners in that area were
aware of the proposal for lighted courts. The following improvements were
reviewed:
A) Northview Park. An easement from Lexington Avenue Easterly to the North-
west corner will be provided by Lexington South, Inc. it will be a multipurpose
field.
B. Wellsite Park. The proposals provide hockey rink and grading for a
ball field.
C. South Oaks. It was suggested that future expansion be provided from
a proposed dedicated area to the West.
D. Pilot Knob Park. Explained above, Rahn moved and Smith seconded a
motion to authorize the preparation of the plans and specifications for the
project. All members voted yea.
COUNTRY HOME HEIGHTS, BLOCK 5. Mrs. Marcella Burns and a proposed purchaser
of Lots 4 and 5, Block 5, Country Home Heights Addition appeased and requested
removal of a moratorium for construction of those two lots imposed in 1964 by
the Town Board because of drainage problems. The Engineer recommended a site
-2-
7-19-77
grading plan for both prior to grant of building permits on either because of the
water ponding problems. Wachter moved and Rahn seconded a motion that a building
permit be granted on Lot 4, Block 5, Country Home Heights Addition, subject to
the submission of a proper grading plan to be approved by the City Engineer and
City Building Inspector; and further, with the understanding that the property
owners and proposed purchaser of Lot 4 is fully aware of the storm grater drain-
age problem on that lot prior to construction.
TAX ABATEMENTS. John O'Toole of the Dakota County Assessor's Office appeared
with a list of five parcels, a copy of which is attached to these minutes,
requesting abatement. Upon motion by Rahn, seconded Wachter, all members voting
yea, it was RESOLVED that the abatements according to the schedule dated July 15,
1977 be approved.
IMPROVEMENT PROJECT #162 t;SSESSMNT HEARING. The Mayor convened the assess-
ment hearing concerning Improvement Project 1162, storm sewer in Ridgeview Acres
and Jon Kroft Acres. City Administrator Hedges explained the assessment proce-
dures and roll. There were two questions from affected property owners. Polzin
moved, Rahn seconded a motion to adopt the roll and certify it to the County
Auditor. All members voted yes.
HIGHVIEW ACRES STREET VACATION. The Mayor then convened a public hearing
regarding the vacation of the East thirty feet of Lot 3, Highview Acres as
requested by Mr. and Mrs. Paul Twomey. Mr. and Mrs. Twomey were present. A
letter from Osman Properties, Inc., the adjoining property owner to the North,
requested that the hearing be continued to the next regular meeting to permit
the Osman Properties Board to respond to the request for vacation. There was no
objection from the applicant to the continuance. Wachter moved, Rahn seconded
a motion with all members voting yes to continue the public hearing until the
next regular meeting.
NISSION MILLS PD AGREEMENT. The planned development agreements for Mission
Hills North and South scheduled for review were delayed because the representative
-3-
7-19-77
of the owners was not present.
PARK CONSTRUCTION COMPANY - CEDAR AVENUE. Bob Rosene and Dale Peterson
briefly reviewed their inspection of the Cedar Avenue dumping site and indicated
that Park Construction had agreed to cut the side slope and also to post neces-
sary signs near the disposal area. Poizin moved and Rahn seconded the motion
with all members voting yea to request Park Construction Company to install a
sign on each of two sides of the disposal area, warning danger.
KENNEL PERMIT - RALPH NELSON. Mt. Ralph Nelson appeared on behalf of his
application for kennel permit at 3506 South Lexington Avenue, formerly known as
Silver Emblem Kennel. It was noted that a conditional use permit had been given,
lapsing in 1978, but that no kennel license is in existence. The 4.8 acre parcel
is zoned Agricultural, and it appeared that the kennel permit had been abandoned.
Smith moved and Wachter seconded a motion to refer the application to the Plan-
ning Commission to comply with the ordinance for conditional use variance and
kennel permit requirements.
KENNETH LEHMAN - 1385 DEERWOOD DRIVE. Mr. Kenneth Lehman appeared on behalf
of his request for building permit at 1385 Deerwood Drive. It was noted that a
basement had been constructed many years ago, and there is one existing single-
family residence on the lot. The non-conforming use provisions of Ordinance No.
52 were reviewed and because the basement would require substantial work for
reconstruction, a variance or lot split would be required. No action was taken.
EFFP.ESS ADDITION ASSESSMENT DEFERMENT. A letter from Pete Parranto request-
ing that assessments be deferred for Lots 1-5 of Effress Addition because of the
inability to sell the lots due to proposed I-35E. A request for tax abatement
has been filed with Dakota Counts and it was understood that no action had been
taken. Wachter moved and Rydrych seconded a motion that the request for defer-
ment of the assessments be denied because the assessments have already been
levied and there does not appear to be provision for deferral; further, it would
be defeating the purpose of the City of assessing the property within the •
• -4-
7-19-77
proposed rights of way for interstate highways prior to acquisition by the DOT.
DONNYWOOD PARK DEVELOPMENT. A large group of affected property owners around
the proposed Donnywood Park area near Lemay Lake appeared and indicated that they
are concerned about the hard surfacing of certain pathways on Outlots A and B
connecting with Donnywood Park. The Park Committee recommended to continue path-
ways plan for Outlots A and B and recommended extension beyond the back lot
lines. A formal petition of about 30 persons opposing blacktopping Outlot A
because of its closeness to Mr. John Tanshef's house and for other reasons includ-
ing the threat to the wildlife area with excessive people. There was a request
that the park be designated a wildlife area and that the City refrain from filling
in any more of the pond. Also requested was that the path be installed adjacent
to Outlot E rather than Outlot A, but it was noted that the development contract
with the Donnywood developers provides for installation of blacktopping for Out-
lots A and B, and additional fill in the swamp area adjacent to Lots 1 and 2,
Block 3 of Donnywood Addition, in the event that sufficient fill is available.
Mrs. Schmidt stated that the park is too small for a nature preserve and that as
a park, it should have general access for the public; further, that blacktopping
Outlot A would give clarity for marking access to the park. There was a petition
from five owners favoring the blacktopped trails, and a very lengthy discussion
ensued. It was noted there were no specific plans for long term use of the park,
but it could be eventually expanded to the East at the time of development in that
area to provide for a natural area. It was noted that Outlot E would require addi-
tional fill for a pathway, and it was suggested that fill be placed in that loca-
tion. It was further suggested that the paved portion be narrowed as much as
possible on Outlot A and moved as far away from the Tanshef property as practical.
A motion was made by Wachter and seconded by Rydrych with all members voting in
favor to request the developer to install the blacktop path on Outlot B and also
on Outlot A, but that the path be moved as faraway on the 10-foot easement on
Outlot A as possible from the Tanshef house; further, that the Park Committee
-5-
7-19-77
review the possibility of installing fill on Outlot E for future access to the
Eastern portion of the swamp area.
WESCOTT ROAD - PROJECT #195. The City Clerk submitted the list of bids for
Project #195, street improvements for Wescott Road. The City Engineer and City
Attorney reviewed the two low bids, including Enebak Construction Company, which
without alteration would be $140 above Minnesota Valley Surfacing Company. Enebak
construction's base bid was $352,183.48 less•a revision of $11,100.00, ash Minne-
sota Valley Surfacing Company's base bid was $352,048.40. It was noted, however,
that Enebak Construction had made alterations on a line item for 30" PC pipe
sewer reducing the line item bid from $39 to $34 per linear foot with an extended
reduction from $86,580 to $75,480. It was further noted, however, by City Attor-
ney Hauge that the written amount per unit had not been changed, but the numerical
amount and extension had been changed and initialed by Enebak. Because of the
confusion concerning the change, a representative of each company appeared together
with attorneys, Allan Faulconer for Minnesota Valley Surfacing Company, and Win-
ston Johnson of Faribault for Enebak Construction Company. 1Ir. Johnson argued
that Enebak Construction Company should be awarded the contract because it did
comply with the technical bidding requirements, and Mr. Faulconer requested that
the bids be rejected because of the alteration and suggested that the Council
readvertise for bids. it appeared that litigation would be imminent in the
event that the contract was awarded to either company. The City Engineer indi-
cated that there would be time to commence construction and do a substantial
portion of the road construction during 1977 by readvertising. Upon motion by
Smith, seconded Wachter, all members voting yes, it was RE-SOLVED that City Coun-
cil reject all of the bids for the reasons mentioned above in view of the irregu-
larities in the Enebak bid, and the uncertainty as to the outcome and delays of
litigation in the event such occurs and that the Clerk be authorized to read ver-
tise for bids to be opened on August 19, at 3 p.m. at the City Hall.

are the most critical, and the estimated cost for installation by the City would
be $350 per unit. Wachter moved and P.ahn seconded a motion that the City Coun-
cil authorize the acquisition of seven booster pumps by the City at the Cityts

lowest pressure with the understanding, however, that the homeowner will main-
tain the booster pumps.

the plans for the 2 million gallon water reservoir to be located on the well

Fredrickson Excavating Company would complete the portion of Ches Mar Drive
abutting the Eagan properties ITorth of Cliff road at a cost of approximately
$6,500 plus inspection and staking. Iir. Posen recommended approval by the
Council of the award of that contract to Fredrickson Excavating Company because
of what appeared to be a significantly more reasonable cost than having to adver-
tise for bids for that project alone. It was noted, however, that State law
requires that quotations be acquired for projects of over $5,000 and less than
$10,000, and upon motion by Wachter, seconded Smith, all meanbers voting in favor,
