Item Description: Approve Willow Pond Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW)
Project
1
2 Background
3 Citywide, there are 200+ public storm ponds that were installed since the 1950’s to meet
4 water quality goals, reduce stormwater rate, and help manage localized flooding issues.
5 Over time, the ponds fill with sediment and the design functionality diminishes. Staff is
6 currently prioritizing ponds to have preliminary engineering completed to quantify the
7 material that needs to be removed, determine potential water quality improvements, and
8 estimate costs based on removals.
9
10 Staff is working towards acquiring pertinent permits to dredge the accumulated sediment
11 from Willow Pond. The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) requires an Environmental
12 Assessment Worksheet (EAW) as part of their permit application. With Roseville being the
13 responsible government unit (RGU) for the EAW review, staff sent out a request for quotes
14 (RFQ) for consulting services to prepare the EAW on the City’s behalf. By having a
15 consultant prepare the EAW, Roseville would remove any bias from the review process.
16
17 Kimley-Horn prepared the EAW documents in conjunction with City staff that were used for
18 the 30-day public comment period as required by the EAW process. The process consisted
19 of providing public notice through the Pioneer Press and having the document available on
20 the Environmental Quality Board (EQB) portal for review. Roseville also sent a mailing to
21 the residents adjacent to Willow Pond (Cty Rd B2 north to Oakcrest Avenue, Hamline
22 Avenue east to Lexington Avenue). During the comment period, only one comment was
23 received that was submitted by the MN Department of Natural Resources (MN DNR) where
24 the EAW didn’t note that Bennett Lake is listed as an Impaired/Special Waters within one
25 mile of the proposed Willow Pond Project. The EAW will be updated based on this
26 comment.
27
28 If the EAW is approved by Council, City staff will complete the MN DNR permit to dredge
29 Willow Pond. Once a permit is approved by the MN DNR, staff will start the process to get
30 bids for the work that will happen during the winter of 2026-27, or during the summer of
31 2027, depending on the preference of the contractor.
32
33 Staff has deferred major pond maintenance for the past two years in preparation for the
34 Willow Pond Project, which is estimated to be over $1 million to complete. Through the CIP,
Page 1 of 2
Page 3 of 55835 there is $585,000 annually allocated towards this type of work.
36
37 Policy Objectives
38 It is City policy to improve and maintain drainage to reduce the risk of localized flooding,
39 and to keep infrastructure in good working condition.
40
41 Equity Impact Summary
42 There should be no equity impacts associated with this agreement as maintaining our
43 storm sewer infrastructure benefits all residents and property owners.
44
45 Budget Implications
46 There is no budget implications associated with the review and approval of the EAW. There
47 will be budget implications if the project is approved after receiving bids for the work which
48 is planned for late 2026. There will be additional Council meetings associated with the
49 future project that discuss costs associated with the work.
50
51 Staff Recommendations
52 Staff recommends the City Council approve the EAW and pass a resolution that is required
53 by the MN DNR.

Executive summary
Title: Willow Pond Maintenance EAW findings of fact and record of decision
Recommended action: Motion to adopt Resolution certifying the environmental assessment
worksheet (EAW) as an adequate examination of the environmental impacts and accepting the
record of decision, declaring no need for an environmental impact statement for the Willow
Pond Maintenance project.
Policy consideration: Does the findings of fact and record of decision for the EAW satisfy the
requirements for making a negative declaration regarding the need for an environmental
impact statement (EIS)?
Summary: Staff requests adoption of findings regarding the EAW for the Willow Pond
Maintenance project, located north of County Road B2 West, east of Hamline Ave North, south
of Brooks Avenue West, and west of Dunlap Street North. The EAW was distributed for public
comment via the city website, a news release, and the Environmental Quality Board (EQB)
Monitor on March 31, 2026.
The EAW examined the potential environmental impacts of the proposed project. Projects
determined to have the potential for significant environmental effects must do further
environmental review, in the form of an environmental impact statement (EIS).
The city received comments from three agencies (Minnesota Pollution Control Agency,
Metropolitan Council, and Department of Natural Resources) and no public comments during
the comment period. The comments and responses are included in the attached findings of fact
and record of decision document (Exhibit A to the Resolution). Responses will be sent to the
individual commenters following the city council’s record of decision in accordance with
Minnesota Rules.
Review of the EAW is complete. City staff find that the Willow Pond Maintenance project does
not have the potential for significant environmental effects and does not warrant an EIS.

Title: Willow Pond Maintenance EAW findings of fact and record of decision
Discussion
Background: City staff seek to address known problems in Willow Pond including sediment
accumulation, deteriorating habitat quality and aesthetic value, and decreasing stormwater
function. Given its classification as a Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Public Water,
the proposed dredging of Willow Pond requires preparation of an EAW pursuant to Minnesota
Rules. The city contracted Kimley-Horn to prepare the EAW which was distributed for public
comment on March 31, 2026.
The EAW analyzed the impacts of the Willow Pond Maintenance project, which includes
dredging the bottom of the pond and temporary construction staging. The project site is
located north of County Road B2 West, east of Hamline Ave North, south of Brooks Avenue
West, and west of Dunlap Street North. The project will not change existing cover types or land
uses within the project site. Construction is anticipated to occur for a month during the winter
of 2026-2027. Alternatively, if construction occurs during the summer of 2027, contractors
would perform a wet dredge and utilize floating barges to remove dredged material.
Dewatering may be required to expose the sediment for excavation.
The EAW examined the potential for environmental impacts of the proposed project including:
a detailed project description, review of required permits, and analysis of land use and zoning;
geology, soils, topography; water resources; contamination and hazardous materials; ecological
resources; historic properties; visual effects; air/GHG emissions; noise; and transportation.
The City received comments from three agencies during the comment period:
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency’s (MPCA) comment stated that they have no
comments at this time.
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources’ (MnDNR) comments pertain to required
information for compliance with MnDNR permits for dredging a public waterbody; the type,
location, and volume of material to be dredged; and mitigation for wildlife impacts.
The Metropolitan Council comments pertain to consistency between the project Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and the EAW as well as a recommendation to consider
staged dredging.
The City received no public comments.
The comments and responses are included in the attached findings of fact and record of
decision document (Exhibit A to the Resolution). Responses will be sent to the individual
commenters following the City council’s record of decision in accordance with Minnesota Rules.
Present considerations: Staff recommend adoption of findings regarding the Willow Pond
Maintenance EAW, record of decision, and a negative declaration regarding the need for an EIS.
The findings of fact and record of decision document includes all the EAW comments received
and the responses to those comments.

Title: Willow Pond Maintenance EAW findings of fact and record of decision
None of the regulatory agency comments indicated the need for an EIS.
Next steps: If the attached resolution is approved, staff will distribute the findings per
Minnesota Rules to the EQB distribution list, surrounding jurisdictions, and individual
commenters.
If the council approves the resolution, the negative declaration of need for an EIS will be
submitted to the EQB monitor on June 9, 2026 and available in the EQB monitor on June 16,
2026.

Title: Willow Pond Maintenance EAW findings of fact and record of decision
1. Administrative Background
The City of Roseville is proposing to dredge approximately 20,000 cubic yards of sediment from
Willow Pond. Construction is anticipated to occur for a month during the winter of 2026-2027.
Alternatively, if construction occurs during the summer of 2027, contractors would perform a
wet dredge and utilize floating barges to remove dredged material. Dewatering may be
required to expose the sediment for excavation. Stormwater infrastructure in or near the pond
would be upgraded as needed.
The City of Roseville is the Responsible Governmental Unit (RGU) for this project. An
Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) has been prepared in accordance with Minnesota
Rules Chapter 4410. The EAW was mandatory per Minnesota Rules, part 4410.4300, subpart
27: Public waters, public waters wetlands, and wetlands.
The EAW was filed with the Minnesota Environmental Quality Board (EQB) and circulated for
review and comment to the required distribution list. A notice of availability was published in
the EQB Monitor on March 31, 2026. A notice was also published in the X newspaper. This
notice included a description of the project, information on where copies of the EAW were
available, and invited the public to provide comments.
The EAW was made available electronically on the City of Roseville’s website at
https://www.cityofroseville.com/willowpond and in hard copy at the following locations:
• St. Louis Park City Hall, 5005 Minnetonka Boulevard, St. Louis Park, MN 55416
The EAW comment period extended from March 31 to April 30, 2026. Written comments were
received from three agencies. No written comments were received from the public. All
comments received were considered in determining the potential for significant environmental
impacts.
Based on the information in the record, which is composed of the EAW for the proposed
project, the comments submitted during the public comment period, the responses to
comments, and other supporting documents, the City of Roseville makes the following Findings
of Fact and Conclusions.
Page 13 of 558 City council meeting of June 8, 2026 (Item No. [Item No.]) Page 7
Title: Willow Pond Maintenance EAW findings of fact and record of decision
2. Findings of Fact
2.1 Project Description
The project would consist of dredging up to 1.7 feet of sediment across approximately 11 acres
of Willow Pond with an estimated volume of 20,000 CY, a MnDNR Public Waters Wetland, in
Roseville, MN. The proposed project would not be phased; construction is anticipated for up to
a month in December 2026 or January 2027 if it is completed over the winter. Dewatering
would be required to expose sediment and potentially would include continuous 24-hour
pumping for the duration of construction depending on the conditions and type of excavation.
Water from Willow Pond will be pumped into temporary best management practices (BMPs)
for storage. The equipment needed for dredging and dewatering would require a small
construction staging area that would be returned to existing conditions after completion of the
project. Erosion control BMPs would be installed during construction in accordance with the
project stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP). Alternatively, depending on the
contractor’s preference, construction could occur in the summer of 2027, using a wet dredge
method and floating barges to remove dredged material. Regardless of timeline and dredging
method, stormwater outlet improvements would be made as needed if rebar in pipes or flared
ends is exposed. The dredged sediment would consist of Level 2 material and be disposed of
off-site at a nearby landfill or reused for industrial purposes. No permanent impacts to the
pond or ongoing operations are proposed following construction.
2.2 Corrections to the EAW or Changes to the Project since the EAW was Published
There have been no changes to the proposed project design since the EAW was published. No
corrections have been made to the EAW.
2.3 Agency and Public Comments on the EAW
During the comment period, the City of Roseville received no written comments from the public
and three written comments from the following agencies:
• Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA)
• Metropolitan Council
• Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MnDNR)
Consistent with state environmental rules, responses have been prepared below for all
substantive comments received during the comment period. Original comments in their
entirety are included in Appendix A.
1) Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA), April 22, 2026
Comment: “Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) staff has reviewed the EAW
and have no comments at this time.”
Response: Comment noted.
Page 14 of 558 City council meeting of June 8, 2026 (Item No. [Item No.]) Page 8
Title: Willow Pond Maintenance EAW findings of fact and record of decision
2) Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, April 30, 2026
Comment: “DNR’s Public Waters Work Rules have specific standards for waterbasin
excavations (Minn. R. 6115.0201, subp. 3). To be approved, a proposed project must be
intended to achieve one or more of the following public purposes: (1) to improve
navigation, swimming, and other recreational uses; (2) to reduce winter fish-kill
potential; (3) sediment removal to eliminate a source of nutrients and/or contaminants.
To be approved, a waterbasin excavation project must be designed to achieve at least
one of the specific purposes mentioned in the rule. While evidence is presented in the
EAW indicating the presence of accumulated sediment meeting the MPCA’s dredged
material management Level 2, it is not clear that the area and depth of proposed
dredging shown in Appendix A, Site Plan, are specifically designed to be the minimal
impact solution to address this problem.”
Response: The City of Roseville will coordinate with the Minnesota Department
of Resources, as necessary, to ensure all requirements for work in Public Waters
are met prior to the start of any construction activities in Willow Pond.
Comment: “Item 6.b…states that the dredged sediment would consist of Level 2
material. Part 6.d further explains that surveys identified the accumulated sediment as
Level 2 Material, which will require disposal in a landfill or reuse for an industrial facility,
pending coordination with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). However,
Appendix B, Pond Surveys, indicates that out of four sediment samples collected from
Willow Pond, only one (Sample 10-005-1) tested as Level 2. The three other samples
tested as Level 1, indicating the sediment is non-regulated and suitable for reuse or
disposal without any special considerations.”
Response: The City of Roseville will coordinate with the Minnesota Pollution
Control Agency, as necessary, to ensure all dredged material is properly disposed
of.
Comment: “Item 6.b…states that the project will consist of dredging up to 1.7 feet of
sediment across approximately 11 acres of Willow Pond. The value of 1.7 feet appears
to be sourced from the 2025 WSB Sediment Core Sampling Report in Appendix B, which
indicates there is 1.7 feet of accumulated sediment at core location #1. However, Sheet
C-01 of the Site Plan for the project indicates up to 3.07 feet of sediment will be
excavated from Willow Pond. There is no explanation in the EAW for this discrepancy.”
Response: The City of Roseville will coordinate approval of excavation depths
with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources prior to the start of any
construction activities in Willow Pond. The volume of dredged material will not
exceed 20,000 cubic yards.
Page 15 of 558 City council meeting of June 8, 2026 (Item No. [Item No.]) Page 9
Title: Willow Pond Maintenance EAW findings of fact and record of decision
Comment: “The EAW identifies Blanding’s turtles as possibly being affected by this
project. The EAW discusses the possibility of impact on Blanding’s turtles if work is done
in the overwintering period but does not list specific measures to avoid impact if work is
done in the active period (April 15-Sept 15). Determining potential for impact would be
easier if specific measures were listed in the EAW (possible measures may include items
from the Blanding’s fact sheet, as the EAW states, among others).”
Response: If the City of Roseville chooses to conduct a summer dredge during
the Blanding’s turtle active period (April 15 – September 15), the Blanding’s
Turtle Fact Sheet will be reviewed and measures for avoiding and minimizing
impacts to the species will be considered.
Comment: “Appendix A, Site Plan, Sheet C-01 states: ‘APPROXIMATE SEDIMENT
REMOVAL QUANTITY = 28,00 TONS (20,000 CUBIC YARDS). VOLUME DETERMINED
THROUGH COMPARISON BETWEEN SURVEYED TOP OF SEDIMENT ELEVATIONS IN 2015
(BARR), 2024 (WSB), AND 2025 (BARR), AND BOTTOM OF SEDIMENT POINTS COLLECTED
IN AUGUST 2025.’ A more thorough explanation of how the sediment removal volume is
calculated will be needed when applying for a DNR Public Waters Work Permit.”
Response: Comment noted. The City of Roseville will provide a more thorough
explanation of the proposed volume of dredged material during the permitting
process with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.
Comment: “Appendix B, Figure 2-C indicates that the existing stormwater inlets to
Willow Pond are all located in the southern portion of Willow Pond. Accordingly, it
would be reasonably expected that the majority of accumulated sediment would be
located in the southern portion of Willow Pond. However, Sheet C-01 of the Site Plan for
the project shows proposed dredging depths that do not appear to correspond to this
expectation.”
Response: Comment noted.
3) Metropolitan Council, April 30, 2026
Comment: “Information in the project Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) is
inconsistent with information in the EAW. Section 2.1 Special and Impaired Waters
states that no impaired waters are located within one mile, however Bennett Lake
(impaired for consumption and recreation) is within one mile of the project area.
Section 2.5 of the SWPPP indicates that the project does not include any Drinking Water
Supply Management Areas (DWSMA), but the project site overlays a low vulnerability
DWSMA. The information in the SWPPP should be made accurate and consistent with
the information in the EAW.”
Response: Comment noted. The City of Roseville will prepare an updated SWPPP
for the project prior to any construction activities in Willow Pond.

Title: Willow Pond Maintenance EAW findings of fact and record of decision
Comment: “If wet dredging is conducted in the summer, consider implementing staged
dredging by working one section of the pond at a time to limit the total disturbed area
in each phase.”
Response: Comment noted.
2.4 Decision Regarding Need for an Environmental Impact Statement
The City of Roseville finds that the analysis completed for the EAW and the additional
information considered in this document of findings of fact and conclusions are adequate to
determine whether the project has the potential for significant environmental effects based on
consideration of the four criteria identified in Minnesota Rules, part 4410, subpart 7.
2.4.1 Type, Extent and Reversibility of Impacts
The City of Roseville finds that the analysis completed for the EAW is adequate to determine
whether the project has the potential for significant environmental effects. The EAW described
the type and extent of impacts to the natural and built environment anticipated to result from
the proposed project. Based on the EAW analysis and mitigation commitments, the proposed
project is not anticipated to result in substantial impacts. Below is a summary of the findings
regarding the potential environmental impacts of the project are as follows:
• Land Use – The project will be compatible with nearby land uses, land uses planned, and
zoning.
• Soils and Topography – A National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
Construction Stormwater permit is required, and a Stormwater Pollution Prevention
Plan (SWPPP) will be prepared accordingly.
• Water Resources – The proposed project is anticipated to improve the function of
Willow Pond and is not anticipated to create any permanent impacts to Willow Pond or
other surface waters.
• Stormwater Management – The project is anticipated to improve Willow Pond’s
function as a stormwater basin. A SWPPP will be prepared to prevent stormwater
pollution during and after construction.
• Contamination/Hazardous Materials – Any dredged Level 2 material will be
appropriately disposed of in a landfill or reused at an industrial site, pending
coordination with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency.
• Wildlife and Habitat – Mitigation measures to control invasive species during
construction will be implemented. The city will consider reseeding disturbed grasslands
with native seed mixes to avoid impacting the Rusty patched bumble bee. Any tree
clearing will occur between November 1 and March 31 to avoid impacts to the northern
long-eared bat. The city will consider appropriate mitigation measures to avoid
impacting the Blanding’s turtle. The DNR has completed a Natural Heritage Review for
the proposed project.
• Historic Resources - There are no known historic or archeological resources on site. No
impact to historic or archeological resources are anticipated as part of this
development.
• Visual – The project is anticipated to improve the aesthetic quality of Willow Pond.

• Air – The project could generate temporary fugitive dust emissions during the
excavation and of dredged material. These emissions will be controlled by sweeping,
watering, or sprinkling, as appropriate or as prevailing weather and soil conditions
dictate. Contractors will follow best management practices to reduce dust emissions
• GHG Emissions – The city will consider potential mitigation measures during
construction.
• Noise – If overnight pumping is required, the city will obtain a variance from the city
code. No other variances from the City of Roseville construction noise ordinance are
anticipated.
• Transportation – No road closures or major traffic impacts are anticipated as part of the
project. A signage plan would be created for construction to notify the public of the
proposed project.
2.4.2 Cumulative Potential Effects of Related or Anticipated Future Projects
Cumulative effects result from the incremental impact of the proposed project when added to
other past, present, and reasonably foreseeable future actions, regardless of what agency or
person undertakes such other actions. No cumulative potential effects are anticipated for this
project. Overall, the project proposes no permanent changes to the existing project site.
2.4.3 Extent to which the Environmental Effects are Subject to Mitigation by the Ongoing
Public Regulatory Authority
The mitigation of environmental impacts will be designed and implemented in coordination
with regulatory agencies and will be subject to the plan approval and permitting process.

Contamination The dredging will remove ~20,000 cubic yards of
Level 2 material, “suitable for use or reuse on
properties with an industrial use category.” The city
will coordinate with the MPCA on transporting this
material to an appropriate landfill or to an industrial
site for reuse.
Protected Species Invasive species would be controlled on site during
construction and disturbed areas would be
reestablished using appropriate native and
stabilization seed mixes. State requirements
necessitate the control and spread of state listed
noxious weeds and/or invasive weeds if encountered
prior to construction. Page 28 of 558Impacts and Mitigation Summary

Area
Protected • Reseeding disturbed grasslands with native seed mix is
Species recommended by the DNR to avoid potential impacts to
(cont’d) the rusty patched bumble bee.
• The northern long-eared bat uses select trees, bridges, and
other structures to roost during the day and/or night. Tree
clearing must occur between November 1 and March 31.
• The city will consider a summer wet dredge to avoid
impacts to any Blanding’s Turtles that may be using Willow
Pond during the hibernation season (September 15
through April 15). Further, the city will consider requiring
mitigation measures listed on the Blanding’s Turtle fact
sheet to protect any potential populations from
construction related impacts. Page 29 of 558Impacts and Mitigation Summary

Historic Properties The SHPO database response noted several resources
nearby; however, no known resources were identified
within the project site. According to the Office of the
State Archaeologist (OSA), there are no identified
archaeological sites in or near the project site.
Visual Dredging accumulated sediment from Willow Pond is
anticipated to improve its aesthetic value.
Air The project could generate temporary dust impacts.
Contractors will follow best management practices to
reduce dust emissions.
Page 30 of 558Impacts and Mitigation Summary

11 The subject site is approximately 4.53 acres or 197,321 square feet in area, and the proposed Centre
12 Pointe Fourth Addition plat would create two lots in conformance with the 1997 Centre Pointe PUD
13 #1177. Plans submitted in support of the proposal are included with this RCA in Attachment 3.
14 Subdivision proposals resulting in three or fewer lots are considered minor plats, requiring City Council
15 to hold the public hearing (unlike a major plat that requires the Planning Commission to hold the public
16 hearing).
Page 1 of 3
Page 34 of 55817 Legislative Authority
18 When considering subdivision requests, the role of the City is quasi-judicial; to determine the facts
19 associated with a particular proposal and apply those facts to the legal standards contained in the
20 ordinance and relevant state law. In general, if the facts indicate the application meets the relevant legal
21 standards and will not compromise the public health, safety, and general welfare, then the applicant is
22 likely entitled to approval. The City is, however, able to add conditions to a subdivision approval to
23 ensure that potential impacts on parks, schools, roads, storm sewers, and other public infrastructure on
24 and around the subject property are adequately addressed. Subdivisions may also be modified to
25 promote the public health, safety, and general welfare, and to provide for the orderly, economic, and
26 safe development of land, and to promote housing affordability for all levels.
27
28 Public Hearing
29 The purpose of the public hearing is to consult the public; it is an opportunity for the public to learn the
30 relevant facts about the proposal, ask clarifying questions, and provide input on the analysis of the facts
31 presented by City staff.
32
33 Preliminary Plat Analysis
34 Roseville’s Development Review Committee (DRC) met to review the proposed subdivision plans and
35 did not have any concerns about the proposal. Specific comments from the DRC review are discussed
36 below. In addition, Attachment 4 has been provided by Engineering staff, which includes various
37 technical comments pertaining to the proposed subdivision and end-use development.
38
39 Proposed Lots
40 The Centre Pointe PUD requires a minimum lot size of 60,000 square feet. Proposed Lot 1 is 137,107
41 sq. ft, exceeding the minimum requirement. Proposed Lot 2 is 60,217 sq. ft., slightly in excess of the
42 minimum requirement. The improvements represented in the plans submitted with the Minor Plat
43 application conform to applicable zoning standards like minimum setbacks and maximum impervious
44 coverage, although a more detailed analysis will be conducted at the time of building permit to ensure
45 conformance with all requirements contained in the City Code.
46
47 Storm Water Management
48 Roseville's Environmental Manager indicated the applicant's engineer has provided plans and staff feel
49 that they can meet the City and Rice Creek Watershed District stormwater requirements.
50
51 Tree Preservation
52 There are very few trees on the subject property, with the majority being located along the existing
53 access road from Centre Pointe Drive that provides access into the large parking lot associated with
54 Cohesity. This access road, and the 10 trees located along it, will be removed and replaced further to
55 the west. Each development will be responsible for their required trees, shrubs, and perennials in
56 conformance with tree preservation and landscaping requirements outlined in the Zoning Code. Based
57 on existing conditions and the applicant’s anticipated development of the lots, such tree preservation
58 and landscaping requirements will be met.
59
60 Park Dedication
61 The Centre Pointe Business Park was mostly developed by Ryan Companies, which included a planned
62 unit development agreement (#1177, 1987) and a developer’s agreement. Park dedication was paid to
63 the city at the time Ryan Companies developed Centre Pointe. More specific to the subject property,
64 payment was made at the time the building permit was issued for the Veritas office building project,
65 which occurred around 2000 and amounted to $3,474.90.
66
67 Public Comment
68 As of the time this RCA was drafted, Planning Division staff had not received any communication from
69 the public.
70
71 Policy Objectives
72 Facilitate development and redevelopment of land consistent with the guidance of the future land use
Page 2 of 3
Page 35 of 55873 plan. Ensure all subdivisions of land lying within the incorporated limits of the City fully comply with the
74 regulations set forth in the Subdivision Code or Subdivision Variances are granted where necessary.
75 Regulations and requirements for the subdivision of land are necessary to preserve the health, safety,
76 general welfare, convenience, and good order of the community.

To: Thomas Paschke, City Planner
From: Jennifer Lowry, Roseville Public Works
RE: Centre Pointe Business Park 4th Addition Plat
The Public Works Department reviewed the proposed plan and plans for the project noted above
and offer the following comments with regard to the project’s impact on City services and/or
infrastructure:
1. Site Plan
o The proposed development did not require a traffic study per the City policy.
Additionally, the area has had prior traffic studies performed and review of those
studies confirmed that a study is not needed. A minor increase to traffic on Centre
Pointe and other nearby roads is expected but will not create any significant
issues.
o If setbacks, easements, or lot sizes change, the changes will need additional
review.
o Public Works appreciates that comments previously provided regarding driveway,
parking, and sidewalks have been addressed.
2. Utilities
o Water
. Watermain is available for connections
. MDH Water Permit may be required.
o Sanitary
. Sanitary sewer main is available for connections.
. If the new buildings will have commercial kitchens, be aware that the City
has a FOG ordinance that requires a 1000 gallon grease interceptor.
o Storm Sewer
. The development has to meet city, Rice Creek Watershed District, and
NPDES stormwater and erosion control standards.
. Any onsite stormwater BMP will require an executed Operation &
Maintenance Agreement in favor of the City of Roseville that has been
recorded with Ramsey County. The template agreement can be found at
www.cityofroseville.com/privatebmp.
3. Ramsey County
Page 60 of 558 Attachment 4
o A County review of construction plans and a County Right-of-Way (ROW) permit
may be required.
o The existing Cleveland ROW meets or exceeds the County’s requirements noted
in the 2019 Approved Major Street Plan.
4. General
o Final construction plans will be approved by the City prior to issuing permits.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide feedback and on this project at this time. As the project
advances, Public Works Department staff will continue to review any forthcoming plans and

REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
Date: 6/8/2026
Item No.: 7.c.
Department Approval City Manager Approval
Item Description: Receive Aldine Street Right-of-Way Natural Trail Feasibility Study
1
2 Background
3 Throughout 2025, the City Council considered several potential future uses of the Aldine
4 Street Right-of-Way (ROW) located between Ryan Avenue and Roselawn Avenue,
5 including vacation of the ROW, preservation of the corridor for future use, and development
6 of a pedestrian connection. The discussion generated significant public interest, with
7 residents expressing differing views regarding access, neighborhood connectivity, tree
8 preservation, and potential impacts to adjacent properties.
9
10 To help inform future decisions, the City Council requested that the Parks and Recreation
11 Commission (PRC) evaluate the recreational value of the corridor and its potential role
12 within the City's parks and recreation system. Over meetings held on August 7 (Attachment
13 2) and September 2, 2025 (Attachment 3), the PRC received public comment, toured the
14 site, reviewed a tree inventory and topographic survey, and discussed issues related to
15 accessibility, cost, and environmental impacts.
16
17 Following their review and discussion, the Commission adopted the following motions:
18 Motion #1: The Parks and Recreation Commission acknowledges that the Aldine Street
19 Right-of-Way has value for the Parks and Recreation System.
20 Vote: 7 Yes, 0 No, 1 Abstention
21 Motion #2: The Parks and Recreation Commission recommends that the City Council
22 direct staff to engage a consultant to conduct a feasibility study for a non-traditional
23 pathway through the ROW, evaluating: (1) pathway alignment options, and (2) specific tree
24 impacts;
25 and that a final decision be made immediately following the receipt of the study.
26 Vote: 8 Yes, 0 No.
27 On October 27, 2025, the City Council directed staff to solicit proposals for such a study.
28 On January 26, 2026, the Council authorized an agreement with TKDA to complete the
29 feasibility analysis.
30
31 In response to requests from residents, the City also retained Three Trees Horticulture to
Page 1 of 3
Page 64 of 55832 provide an independent arboricultural review of potential tree impacts identified through the
33 study process.
34
35 The Aldine Street ROW Trail Feasibility Study has now been completed and is included in
36 the Council packet (Attachment 1). Dana Schumacher, PLA, ASLA, of TKDA will present
37 the study findings and be available to answer questions from the Council.
38
39
40 Policy Objectives
41 The purpose of the feasibility study is to provide the City Council with information regarding
42 the potential opportunities, constraints, impacts, and estimated costs associated with
43 establishing a pathway connection within the Aldine Street ROW.
44
45 The Parks and Recreation System Master Plan identifies neighborhood connectivity as an
46 important component of the City's park system and encourages connections between
47 neighborhoods, parks, and community destinations. While the Aldine ROW is not identified
48 as a priority corridor within the City's Pathway Master Plan, it has been recognized as a
49 potential local connection between nearby residential areas and Evergreen Park.
50
51 Equity Impact Summary
52 Residents living near the Aldine Street ROW are among the few neighborhoods in
53 Roseville that remain outside of a ten-minute walk to a public park. While a pathway
54 connection through the corridor would not fully achieve the ten-minute walk standard, it
55 could improve pedestrian access by providing a more direct route to Evergreen Park and
56 other destinations.
57
58 In addition, the informal pathway historically used within the corridor does not meet current
59 accessibility standards due to steep grades and narrow clearances. Any future pathway
60 developed by the City would be required to comply with applicable accessibility
61 requirements, improving usability for residents of varying ages and abilities.
62
63 Budget Implications
64 The feasibility study identifies two potential pathway concepts. The preferred alignment
65 (Option 1) is estimated at approximately $120,100, while Option 2 is estimated at
66 approximately $78,100.
67
68 These estimates are preliminary planning-level opinions of probable cost and do not
69 include additional improvements that may be considered outside the ROW, such as
70 enhanced pedestrian crossings, traffic control measures, or other related infrastructure. No
71 funding has been identified or authorized for pathway construction at this time.
72
73 Staff Recommendations
74 Receive the presentation and ask questions of TKDA as needed.

Executive Summary
This feasibility study provides a summary of work completed by TKDA for the City of Roseville at the Aldine
Street Right of Way located between Ryan Avenue and Roselawn Avenue in Roseville, MN. The purpose of
the study was to review existing conditions and determine an accessible route to link Ryan Avenue to
Roselawn Avenue that would meander through an existing woodland space with the main priority to protect
and preserve the heritage oaks.
TKDA considered the existing conditions and 2 options as follows:
Option 1: Install raised boardwalks on spread pan supports under oak trees’ critical root zone areas
and stabilized gravel paths outside of these areas.
Option 2: Install stabilized gravel paths along the entire length of the path alignment.
Option 1 is the recommended solution because it preserves the majority of the heritage oak trees with
minimal to moderate impact while also providing an accessible route through the site.
Option 2 may provide an accessible route through the right of way and is less expensive than Option 1.
However, it will have extremely negative impacts on the oak trees that would decline within 5-10 years if this
option is advanced.

1.0 Introduction
The purpose of this feasibility study is to help the City determine whether a non-paved
accessible public pathway connection can be constructed in the Aldine Street Right of Way
(ROW) that protects both the sensitive heritage oak trees and neighboring properties, while
addressing any stormwater runoff issues and being mindful of construction costs.
The following study reviews the available information, explores the feasibility of two options,
and provides a proposed remedy and corresponding cost estimates.
2.0 Existing Information
2.1 Summary
The existing topographic survey with trees shows several large heritage oak trees located on
the property with a cluster on the north end on top of a low mound, 2 more spaced at the
middle portion of the property, and another cluster at the south end (see Appendix H for
map).
The grades in the ROW are fairly level with a mounded area on the north end. There were no
signs of erosion or excessive stormwater flow through the area.
2.2 TKDA and Arborist Site Visit
TKDA visited the site on Monday, March 23, 2026 with City staff and arborist to walk the
entire site and discuss concerns and potential path layouts. The arborist visited the site
several more times after this visit to evaluate the proposed path alignment and impact to the
trees.
2.3 City of Roseville
The City of Roseville provided CAD drawings based upon the RFQ pdf documents provided
earlier in the proposal phase. These files include the existing tree identification and
topography as well as property survey showing utilities and other features in and adjacent to
the ROW property (see Appendix H for drawings).
3.0 Feasibility Review
3.1 Site Observation/Analysis
TKDA visited the site on the morning of Monday, March 23, 2026. The weather was calm,
sunny, and dry, and the temperature was a few degrees above freezing. Most of the snow
cover was gone as well. The city-owned Aldine Street right of way (ROW) property is
approximately 30’ wide and 616 feet long (curb to curb) and situated between single family
residential lots with Roselawn Avenue along the south border and Ryan Avenue turning north
onto Aldine Street at the north end.
At the north end, Ryan Avenue was quiet and calm. There are storm and sewer utilities
running along the west side of the ROW. Uphill and to the east are several stately Burr oak
trees, northern pin oak, and a few old arborvitae trees. There are also some
Page 1
Page 77 of 558 Attachment 1
undesirable/invasive buckthorn, poplar, amur maple, green ash, and mulberry trees. The
ground cover layer was still dormant but we noticed old fern fronds from the previous season.
We climbed up to travel along the route and noted that the first property owner on the east
side installed a split rail fence several feet into the ROW property. Further south, there is a
sign on the same fence stating that the property is a “certified wildlife habitat.” We noted
redosier dogwood, cherry trees, and a large yew in the area. We noted chipmunks, squirrels,
bunnies, and birds moving about on the site.
Beyond the first lot, the center section of the right of way is less hilly and there are only two
single oaks spaced further apart in this area. In this center area, the properties along the east
side back up to the site and some encroachment with fencing, storage, as well as a small
shed. To the west is an empty wooded lot. There is a large, moss covered concrete
stormwater structure in this area. Along the ground were at least two fallen tree stumps that
could be interesting stopping points for visitors walking on the trail.
Further south, the property is bound by more backyards along the east, side, and backyards
of the homes facing south onto busy Roselawn Avenue. In this area, the property to the west
has a gravel driveway that is encroaching into the ROW and there are several large Burr oak
trees with mowed turf grass underneath. There is a specimen witchhazel tree along the east
property line. The last portion of the site along Roselawn Avenue has an encroaching steel
chain link fence and has been planted with native perennials. There is another sign posted
stating that the space is a “certified wildlife habitat.”
There is no sidewalk along Roselawn Avenue on the north side of the street. However, there
is a wide bituminous path on the south side of the road next to the University of Minnesota’s
agricultural test fields. See Appendix G for relevant site visit photos.

3.1.1 Historical Vegetation and Soils
The site’s historical soils are labeled as Map unit symbol 860C or, “Urban land-Hayden-
Kingsley complex. The Hayden-Kingsley series consists of deep well drained soils that
formed in calcareous loamy glacial till on glacial moraines and till plains. These soils are well
drained, have moderate permeability, and 0 percent flood frequency. Their slopes range from
3 to 15 percent (see Figure 1).
Figure 1 – Soils Map
The site’s historical vegetation was deciduous maple, basswood, oak, and elm forests (see
Figures 2 and 3).

3.2 Arborist Tree Rating System
Provided by Jason Johnson, certified arborist, Three Trees Horticulture
The existing trees were rated with a system measuring current health and viability with a
range between 1 and 5 where, a tree with a rating of 1 is in excellent condition and a tree with
a rating of 5 is mostly dead or dead. Below is a description of each rating.
1. Excellent: Perfect specimen, sound, and vigorous.
2. Good: Minor defects in less than 10% of the canopy, lacking full symmetry.
3. Fair: Up to 30% crown dieback, chlorotic leaves, or minor decay.
4. Poor: Severe decline, with over 70% of the canopy affected, or significant structural
defects.
5. Very Poor/Dead: Structurally unsound or dead.
The arborist analyzed the oak trees within the Aldine Street right of way (ROW) to determine
their current health rating. The spreadsheet (see Appendix D) shows the change in rating
based on the trail construction design. The oak trees at the south end and middle sections
will have moderate impact from the raised boardwalk construction. Oak #12 and #13 on the
north end as well as the two black cherry trees will have significant impact because their
Page 4
Page 80 of 558 Attachment 1
critical root zones will be greatly impacted with excavation needed to maintain a 5%
maximum grade on the path.
3.3 Tree Protection
The preservation of existing trees throughout the construction process requires a
comprehensive and proactive approach that addresses both below-grade root systems and
above-grade stem integrity. Two principal areas of concern — protection of Critical Root
Zones and prevention of mechanical damage to tree stems — must be addressed through
coordinated planning, physical safeguards, and ongoing oversight.
3.3.1 Critical Root Zone Protection
Bur and White Oaks develop extensive lateral root systems that spread well beyond the
canopy drip line — often 1.5 to 3 times the crown radius. The Critical Root Zone (CRZ),
typically calculated at a radius of one foot per inch of trunk diameter, captures the most
biologically active feeder roots, which are concentrated in the top 12 to 18 inches of soil. Any
construction activity within this zone carries significant risk of root damage and must be
carefully managed.
Bur and White Oaks are particularly vulnerable to soil compaction caused by construction
equipment. Compaction reduces pore space in the soil, restricting the movement of oxygen
and water to root systems. Even a single pass from heavy equipment within the CRZ can
initiate a cycle of long-term decline. For this reason, raised boardwalk sections supported on
pads are the preferred method of crossing CRZ areas, eliminating the need for grading or
surface preparation directly over root zones.
Unlike many other tree species, Bur and White Oaks typically exhibit a slow decline pattern
following root damage, with visible symptoms often not appearing for three to ten years after
the causative event. This delayed response makes preventive measures essential, as
remediation after the fact is rarely effective. Construction teams should operate on the
assumption that root damage is permanent and cumulative, even when no immediate stress
response is observed.
Root cutting or disturbance during the April through July high-risk window creates potential
entry points for oak wilt fungus (Bretziella fagacearum). This pathogen spreads readily
through the grafted root connections common among neighboring oaks of the same species,
meaning that damage to a single tree can threaten an entire stand. Construction scheduling
should avoid root disturbance within this seasonal window wherever possible, and any
unavoidable cutting should be immediately treated with wound sealant.
It should be noted that any path construction within the Critical Root Zone of the existing oaks
— regardless of the construction method employed — represents a likely compromise of tree
health and preservation standards. Even the least invasive approaches, including raised
boardwalk systems, involve some equipment access, ground disturbance, and ongoing foot
traffic within zones that best management practices would otherwise designate as entirely off-
limits to construction activity. Proceeding with path construction through these areas is likely
to adversely affect the long-term health of the trees.
3.3.2 Tree Stem Protection
Physical injury to the bark and cambium layer, whether caused by equipment contact,
material storage, or repeated foot traffic, can compromise a tree’s vascular system, creating
entry points for pathogens and insects that may lead to long-term decline or mortality.
Temporary protective fencing or barrier wrapping should be installed around tree trunks prior
Page 5
Page 81 of 558 Attachment 1
to the commencement of any construction activity and maintained throughout the duration of
the project. Rigid trunk guards or wooden planking secured around the stem can provide an
effective buffer against incidental equipment strikes.
Signage identifying protected trees should be posted at key locations to reinforce awareness
among all contractors and subcontractors working on the site. It is equally important that no
materials, equipment, or spoils be staged within the designated protection zone at any time
during construction. See Appendix E for post-construction oak tree care.

3.4 Grading Study for Path Alignment
Finding the best accessible route through the oaks trees proved challenging. Americans with
Disabilities (ADA) and local building code rules include the following design rules for
accessibility and safety:
1. 1:20 (5%) maximum longitudinal slope on pathways. 1:48 (2%) maximum cross slope
on pathways.
2. 4’ minimum path width on trails requires a passing zone of at least 5’ wide provided
every 250 feet maximum of path length.
3. Ramps at 1:12 (8.33%) are also considered accessible but require handrails on both
sides which would impact the oak roots greatly with post footings.
4. Tactile warning strips (eg. truncated domes) are required at curb lines and shall be
set in concrete pad.
5. Walking surfaces shall be stable, firm, and slip resistant.
6. Boardwalk maximum height above grade is 30” or less with no handrails.
Typical gravel pathways are not considered accessible because the gravel is usually too
loose or rough and difficult to navigate. However, if a stabilizer is added to a specific gravel
mix prior to installation, the surface can be considered accessible and compliant. The organic
stabilizer additive acts as a binder that creates an even and durable natural pathway. The
stabilizer is recommended for slopes up to 5%. For slopes over 5% or more high traffic areas,
a wax polymer blend is used to keep an even surface (see Figure 4).
Page 6
Page 82 of 558 Attachment 1
Figure 4 – Gravel Cross-Section
The other major challenge is to minimize impact inside the oak trees’ critical root zones
(CRZ). Many of the oaks on site have at least a 20’ radius, or, 40’ diameter CRZ (1x diameter
at breast height or dbh) which means that there is no way to avoid impacting these zones
with a new path in a 30’ wide right of way property. A solution to minimize compaction and
excavation of the CRZ’s is with a raised boardwalk system set on wide pad feet on top of the
existing grade. The exact alignment and location of the “feet” is flexible and can be adjusted
during construction if there are obvious tree roots in the way. See Appendix B for boardwalk
construction details.
Construction access to the site is limited due to the adjacent residential lots. Access is only
available at the far north end and south ends of the site. Construction will need to be extra
vigilant within the CRZ’s of the oak trees and this means that a lot of the work will need to be
done within a very narrow corridor – much of it by hand or with a small wheeled dingo type
machine (see Figure 5). It is recommended that the boardwalks be set in place first so that
the oak roots remain undisturbed during construction of the rest of the trails. The new
boardwalk can be covered with plywood to protect the planks so that materials can be
brought in without traversing and compacting the ground surface.

Figure 5 – Dingo and Electric Cart on Wheels
The gravel path construction will involve compacting the gravel after excavating down 7” total
for installation of 4” of class 5 aggregate base and 3” of stabilized gravel on top. It is
recommended to use a non-vibrating compactor or even a hand tamper in areas within the
CRZ’s (north end). In order to avoid grading further into the CRZ on the north end, large
glacial boulders set into the upslope on the path can take up the grade difference and provide
a rustic edge. An air spade can also be helpful in locating tree roots to avoid (if possible)
during construction. See Figure 6 for images of boulder edge, compactors, and air spade.
Figure 6 – Boulder Edge, Compactors, and Air Spade
3.5 Surface Stormwater Review
There are no concerns with changes in surface stormwater flow. Stormflow is unchanged in
areas with raised boardwalks since the water can continue under the walk. In gravel path
areas, the alignment follows the natural grades except for the far north end where some
additional excavation will be needed to keep the slope under 5%. This path down to the north
end would also have a 2% max cross slope which will help reduce erosion down the center of
the path. There is more impervious surface area in Option 2. However, the amount is not
enough to trigger any stormwater requirements.
Page 8
Page 84 of 558 Attachment 1
4.0 Findings and Recommended Solution
4.1 Findings
There is no accessible path alignment that will completely avoid the existing oak trees’ critical
root zone (CRZ) areas. The right of way property is 30 feet wide and many of the oak trees
have a 40 foot diameter CRZ. However, there are ways to minimize the impact and still
provide an accessible route through the property that retains a majority of the oak trees.
4.1.1 Option One: Stabilized gravel path with raised boardwalk sections under
oak tree CRZ’s
This option includes gravel paths in areas outside of the oak tree CRZ’s and raised
boardwalk in areas under the oak tree CRZ’s except for two oaks at the north end where
grades are too steep for a boardwalk. This option satisfies the need for an accessible path
while also preserving a majority of the existing oak trees. The boardwalk system is more
expensive than the gravel paths but the value of the existing oak trees outweighs this
additional cost. A total of two oak trees would be greatly impacted with this option.
4.1.2 Option Two: Stabilized gravel paths along the entire length including
within the CRZ’s
This option includes gravel paths for the entire length of the path alignment, including areas
under the oak tree CRZ’s. This option satisfies the need for an accessible path but does not
preserve a majority of the existing oak trees. Gravel paths are less expensive than the
boardwalk system but the loss of the oak trees does not justify the cost savings. A total of
fourteen oak trees would be greatly impacted with this option.
4.2 Recommended Solution
Based upon TKDA’s experience and input from the arborist, TKDA recommends that the City
proceed with Option 1 – Stabilized gravel path with raised boardwalk sections under oak tree
CRZ’s. This option provides the optimal solution for both long-term tree health and
accessibility.
With either option, it is imperative to note the need to use a qualified contractor and arborist
that understands the sensitive site conditions of heritage oak trees and who has worked on
similar projects and can provide an extensive list of past work and references.
5.0 Opinion of Probable Cost
The opinion of probable construction costs are made on the basis of Landscape Architect’s
experience and qualifications and represent Landscape Architect’s judgment as an
experienced and qualified professional generally familiar with the construction industry.
However, because the Landscape Architect has no control over the cost of labor, materials,
equipment, or services furnished by others, or over contractors’ methods of determining
prices, or over competitive bidding or market conditions, Landscape Architect cannot and
does not guarantee that proposals, bids, or actual Construction Cost will not vary from
opinions of probable construction cost prepared by Landscape Architect.
Option 1 and 2 involve installing gravel paths with concrete landings on either end with tactile
warning strips. On both options, there is a section at the north end where glacial boulders can
be used to line the path and help retain the existing grades in the CRZ’s to minimize
disturbance to tree roots. Due to the sensitive site conditions with the existing oak trees,
much of the work will need to be done carefully with small machine or by hand. The opinion
Page 9
Page 85 of 558 Attachment 1
of probable cost for Option 1 is $100,082 and $65,086 for Option 2. See Figures 7 and 8 for a
breakdown of costs.

Post-Construction Oak Tree Care
Aldine Street Right of Way — Supplemental Maintenance Recommendations
Recommended Post-Construction Care Measures
Arborist Monitoring — It is recommended that the City retain a qualified arborist to conduct
regular site visits following construction. The purpose is to detect early signs of decline, oak wilt
infection, or root-zone stress. It would be prudent to conduct a formal re-assessment at the one-
, three-, and five-year marks to track actual outcomes of tree health.
1. Plant Growth Regulator (PGR) Re-Application — Three-Year Intervals
The initial PGR/inoculant treatment included in the Option 1 construction budget ($3,000 for 14
oaks and 2 cherry trees) is an important first step in supporting root recovery. PGR efficacy
diminishes over time, and re-application at approximately three-year intervals is recommended
throughout the post-construction recovery period. Budget approximately $2,500–$3,500 per
treatment cycle, with the project arborist determining which trees require re-treatment at each
interval based on ongoing health assessments.
2. Insect Protection via Stem Injection
Construction stress significantly increases oak vulnerability to opportunistic borers such as two-
lined chestnut borer (Agrilus bilineatus). Preventive stem injection with a systemic insecticide is
recommended for trees that sustained root zone disturbance. Treatment is estimated at $250–
$350 per tree; a full-site treatment of all oak trees on site would represent an estimated
investment of $3,500–$4,900. Re-evaluation and targeted re-treatment should occur every two
to three years as directed by the arborist.
3. Supplemental Watering — During and Post-Construction
Adequate soil moisture is critical to the survival of trees with compromised root systems. The
following schedule is recommended:
• During construction: Supplement whenever rainfall is less than one inch per week,
applying water slowly within the CRZ.
• Year 1 post-construction (highest priority): Minimum 10–15 gallons per inch of trunk
diameter per week during the growing season (May–October) in dry periods.
• Year 2 post-construction: Continue supplemental watering during drought periods;
frequency reduced based on observed tree recovery as assessed by the arborist.
4. Post-Construction Site Access
Given the site’s original access limitations via only the north and south ends, ongoing
maintenance will be subject to the same entry constraints used during construction, with access
Page 102 of 558 Attachment 1
limited to the north and south ends of the ROW. The raised pathway further restricts equipment
access within the site, which will affect ongoing tree care activities, including routine pruning,
watering, and treatment applications. All future maintenance visits will need to be carefully
planned to accommodate these constraints.

5. BUSINESS ITEMS
a) INITIAL DISCUSSION OF ALDINE STREET RIGHT OF WAY
Staff reviewed maps with the Commission to show the location of the Aldine right-of-way. Staff
explained that a right-of-way is a legal designation for City-owned property that allows the
public or utilities to access land for public use, typically for transportation or utilities. The City
owns and manages numerous acres of right-of-way throughout Roseville.
Staff noted that the Public Works Department occasionally identifies right-of-way segments that
are no longer needed for future roadway purposes and may propose vacating them to adjacent
property owners. This process includes a public hearing to gather community feedback.
Staff highlighted that this right-of-way was not identified as a priority route in the City’s
Pathway Master Plan, which guides future pathway projects. However, the Parks and Recreation
System Master Plan does identify this segment as a potential “constellation link” which is a
conceptual connector that would support system-wide recreation access.
Staff reviewed Goals 4.1, 4.4, 4.5, and 4.6 of the Parks and Recreation System Master Plan with
the Commission. These goals provide guidance for the future development and management of
pathways.
On April 21, 2025, Public Works presented a proposal to vacate a one-block segment of Aldine
Street between Ryan Avenue and Roselawn Avenue. During the public hearing, several residents
provided feedback to the City Council, with opinions both in support of and in opposition to the
vacation. Following the hearing, the City Council directed Public Works to explore the
feasibility of establishing a formal pathway within the right-of-way and requested that the Parks
and Recreation Commission consider whether a non-traditional pathway could be feasible for
this location.
The issue was further discussed at the June 16 and July 21 City Council meetings. Concerns
were raised regarding the impact a traditional pathway might have on existing vegetation,
including the removal of mature trees and the need for significant grading.
Staff reported that the Aldine right-of-way is 30 feet wide. The current informal pathway extends
beyond the right-of-way and onto private property. Staff noted that multiple neighboring
properties have encroached into the right-of-way, resulting in deviations from a direct route.
While challenging conditions exist within the right-of-way, staff indicated that these challenges
do not appear to be insurmountable.
Staff outlined potential pathway options within the right-of-way. A traditional bituminous
pathway could be constructed; however, this option would likely require the removal of a
Page 117 of 558 Attachment 2
number of established trees. Alternatively, a non-traditional pathway may be feasible and less
impactful on existing vegetation, though it would still need to meet ADA requirements,
including a minimum width of four feet, slope adjustments, and appropriate curb cuts.
To date, community feedback has reflected a range of perspectives. Many neighbors have asked
the City Council to preserve some form of access from Roselawn Avenue to Aldine Street.
Adjacent property owners have petitioned the City Council to vacate the right-of-way.
Additional themes from community input include a desire to preserve as many existing trees as
possible, interest in finding a harmonious solution, and a willingness from residents to participate
in developing potential options.
As part of its exploration of the Aldine right-of-way, the City Council requested the
Commission’s input on the following questions:
• Would a non-traditional pathway or park in this location be valuable to the Parks and
Recreation system?
• Is a non-traditional pathway viable in this location?
• What impact would this have on existing trees and vegetation?
• What are the estimated installation costs?
• How would such a pathway be maintained?
Staff reiterated that the Parks and Recreation Commission is not the final governing body and
will not make the ultimate decision regarding the Aldine right-of-way. The Commission has been
tasked with providing input to the City Council on the questions outlined above. Staff also noted
that Commissioners will not be asked to weigh in on matters beyond the scope of these
questions.
Staff outlined the following planned actions:
• Conduct a topographical survey including tree locations
• Analyze grades and potential impacts on vegetation
• Evaluate the usefulness of the right-of-way for the Parks and Recreation system
• Return to the City Council with findings for a decision
Commissioner Harris acknowledged that she lives near the property in question. She stated that
she did not feel it was necessary to recuse herself, as she believes she can respond to the
questions posed to the Commission without personal bias.
Vice-Chair Beckmann asked how existing encroachments within the right-of-way would be
addressed. Staff responded that, at this time, they anticipate any encroachments would be
removed.
Page 118 of 558 Attachment 2
M. Erickson, 93 Mid Oaks Ln.
Erickson, an adjacent property owner, asked the Commission to apply the “but-for test” when
evaluating the Aldine right-of-way in relation to Roseville Parks. She explained that in legal
applications, the test is used to determine whether one action is the direct cause of another, and
suggested it is also useful in evaluating the reasoning for City action. She made the following
points:
• New Park Question: Asked whether the City would create a new 30' x 590' (.4 acre)
park absent pressure from some City Council members and residents to formalize an
unimproved shortcut while avoiding ADA requirements.
• Neighborhood Context: Cited City Council meeting minutes that she felt supported her
claim and questioned whether a 30' x 520' single-purpose park, with zero buffer between
eight 60+ year-old homes, would otherwise be pursued.
• Community Support: Asked if there is professional, inclusive, and impartial evidence of
widespread neighborhood support for diverting limited park resources to create a limited-
access shortcut.
• Precedent: Questioned whether there is precedent for a park of this size, purpose, and
proximity to existing homes.
She concluded by asking Commission members to consider the broader context motivating the
City Council’s request for input regarding the Aldine St. right-of-way.
J. Reinert, 1667 Ridgewood Ln. S.
Reinert relayed that the neighborhood has a strong pedestrian character, which he considers an
asset. He enjoys meeting new neighbors and greeting familiar ones along the connecting paths
that contribute to the area’s pedestrian-friendly environment. He emphasized the following
points:
• Neighborhood Asset: The Aldine Street right-of-way is a critical feature for both the
neighborhood and the City.
• Community Impact: Without the path, many neighbors are unhappy, while its removal
would benefit only a few adjacent property owners.
• Personal Use: He uses the path daily for medical reasons, as it reduces walking time.
• Overall Value: He believes removing the path would not benefit Roseville or the
neighborhood.
P. Veach, 1661 Ridgewood Ln. N.
Veach stated that she used the Aldine St. right of way weekly and considers it a special feature of
the neighborhood. She values the right of way for its wooded and serene atmosphere and noted
that wildlife also uses the corridor. She emphasized that she does not view it as a shortcut, but
rather as a pathway she relies on regularly, and she advocated for the continued use of the land as
a pathway.
Page 119 of 558 Attachment 2
S. Aschenbrenner, 2016 Herschel St.
Aschenbrenner noted that she enjoyed using the Alding St. right of way and appreciated the
extensive tree cover, emphasizing the importance of preserving the trees. She shared that short
walks have become much longer and more difficult since she has not been able to use the
pathway. She expressed excitement about the possibility of a parks solution and stated that she
believes many neighbors would be willing to come together to create a solution that, while it
may not satisfy everyone, would provide an important opportunity for community.
C. Gallaher, 2009 Herschel St.
Gallaher stated that she has used the Aldine St. right-of-way for 36 years and finds it to be a safer
alternative to walking along Snelling Avenue, where she feels the sidewalk is not wide enough
for pedestrian safety. She expressed gratitude for the path that was added along Fairview Avenue
and asked the Commission to consider the potential benefits of maintaining a connecting path,
including supporting property values and fostering a stronger sense of community.
D. Gault, 2021 Herschel St.
Gault shared that he has lived in Roseville for 32 years and has walked on the path more than
3,300 times. He stated that the Aldine St. right of way has become a divisive issue within the
neighborhood and expressed his belief that now is the time for healing. He noted that he would
not use the Aldine St. right of way unless all neighbors could come to a mutual agreement and
emphasized the importance of finding common solutions together. He explained that he stopped
walking the Aldine St. right of way after realizing that adjacent property owners were unhappy
with its use and concluded that his relationships with neighbors are more important to him than
continued access to the path.
A. Lottie, 90 Mid Oaks Ln.
Spoke on behalf of her three school-age children, noting that the Aldine St. right of way provides
them with a safe route to friends’ houses and as a walking route to school. She emphasized that
in a world with limited independence for children, the Aldine St. right of way offers them an
important opportunity for independence, as their family feels comfortable allowing the children
to walk alone on the path because they are familiar with the neighbors along the route. She
expressed hope that a creative solution can be found to preserve the path.
T. Brown, 93 Mid Oaks Ln.
Is a civil engineer and adjacent property owner, he stated that the Aldine St. right of way
provides valuable privacy for his home and open space for wildlife. Additionally, he raised
several concerns in response to the City Council’s questions for the Parks and Recreation
Commission:
• Value/Connectivity: Asked what parks or neighborhoods the proposed trail would
connect.
Page 120 of 558 Attachment 2
• Viability/Drainage: Noted that a storm sewer with beehive catch basins runs through the
corridor to prevent basement flooding in nearby homes. He expressed concern that
grading for a trail could disrupt drainage, introduce sediment into the receiving lake, raise
the water table, and potentially cause basement flooding to return.
• ADA Compliance: Questioned how the steep grade could be maintained, to support the
existing irrigation system, while also meeting ADA pathway requirements.
• Access/Safety: Expressed concern about pedestrian access from Roselawn Avenue,
citing high traffic volumes (approximately 3,000 trips per day per MnDOT). He stated
that children walking in the parking lane during rush hour poses safety risks and may
require special crossing treatments.
Brown concluded by noting he has additional concerns and hopes adjacent property owners will
have the opportunity to share them.
D. Wiswell, 1731 Shryer Ave. W.
Has lived in the neighborhood since 2016, stated that she frequently used the path to walk her
dog and expressed concern about the loss of safe access for children in and out of the Mid Oaks
neighborhood. She shared the following points:
• Neighborhood Access: Stated it is disheartening that children can no longer easily reach
friends’ houses, Evergreen Park, or schools using the path.
• Community Transition: Noted that the neighborhood is transitioning to younger
families and that she values accessibility for children to move safely between
neighborhoods.
• Established Feature: Emphasized that the Aldine St. right of way path has been a
longstanding feature of the neighborhood and should be preserved.
• Equity for Children: Felt that discontinuing the path would be a disservice to children
who rely on it to reach friends and schools safely.
• Safety: Stated that use of the Aldine St. right of way along Roselawn is safer than
requiring children to walk farther along Roselawn to access other neighborhoods.
She concluded by expressing a desire to find a collaborative solution that would preserve the
established path while fostering cooperation among neighbors.
Commissioner Donaldson asked staff to explain the difference between parks and trails. Staff
relayed that the Pathway- Master Plan is managed by Public Works. The Master Plan is driven
by Public Works, with input from the Parks and Recreation Department to determine the creation
of pathways. The Parks and Recreation Department handles any trail within a park as well as
providing maintenance to any trail within Roseville.
The Commission discussed how existing pathways in the City were originally established and
considered the precedent for creating new pathways.
Page 121 of 558 Attachment 2
Staff asked what materials they could provide at the next meeting to assist the Commission in
making a recommendation. The Commission requested the following additional information:
• Existing and planned sidewalks in the area
• Information on trees and vegetation within the right-of-way
• Potential drainage concerns
• Guidelines to help ensure the recommendation remains objective
• A City Attorney letter regarding the legality of using the Aldine right-of-way as a park
The Commission also discussed whether the City of Falcon Heights should be consulted. Staff
relayed that Falcon Heights has not yet been included in the discussion but noted that this could
be part of the Commission’s recommendation to the City Council.
Commissioner Harris inquired about the possibility of a site visit. Staff responded that Open
Meeting Law requirements would need to be followed but agreed to look into arranging a tour of
the site.
b) MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS CENTER UPDATE (STANDING ITEM)
Staff reported that on June 16, 2025, the City Council reviewed options for the Maintenance
Operations Center (MOC) and License and Passport Center/City Dance Studio (LPCDS). The
Council indicated support for Concept C, which would relocate daily maintenance operations to
a renovated facility south of Woodhill Drive and place yard and storage functions north of
Woodhill Drive. Concept C also calls for construction of a two-story LPCDS on the southwest
corner of the Veterans Park parcel, with expanded shared parking alongside the VFW. This
approach reduces yard space and operational efficiency compared to the full Campus Master
Plan but preserves much of Veterans Park and allows the VFW to remain in place.
At its July 7 meeting, the City Council considered whether LPCDS operations should be moved
off-campus but voted 3–2 to construct the facility on the City Campus. On July 21, the Council
approved release of a Request for Proposals for architectural services and a Request for
Qualifications for construction management at-risk services to move the project forward.
Chair Matts-Benson stated that she feels Concept C represents a potentially great outcome to a
complex problem. The Commission discussed how the new concept would affect Veteran’s Park.
Staff noted that little work has been done in the park in recent years due to uncertainty about the
property’s future and indicated that the park would likely be approached as a blank concept plan
when planning begins.

5. BUSINESS ITEMS
a) DISCUSS AND CONSIDER A RECOMMENDATION REGARDING THE ALDINE
STREET RIGHT OF WAY
Staff provided background information on the Commission’s initial discussion of the Aldine
Street right-of-way (ROW), which took place at the August 7, 2025 Parks and Recreation
meeting. Since that time, the following actions have been completed:
• Several commissioners toured the site.
• Staff prepared site inventories of trees and topography.
• Staff researched accessibility requirements and tree preservation.
Staff emphasized that the Commission’s goal is to work toward an eventual recommendation for
the City Council.
The Commission reviewed the list of questions provided by the City Council, noting that not all
questions need to (or can) be answered immediately. These questions include:
• Should the ROW become a park trail?
• Does it provide recreational value?
• How many trees impacted/removed?
• Detailed impacts on vegetation and trees?
• Neighborhood engagement process?
• Use Park Dedication funds?
• Does a 30-foot-wide park make sense in Roseville?
Staff presented the results of the site analysis, which included the following findings:
• 57 inventoried trees, including 24 with a trunk diameter greater than 10” DBH (Diameter
at Breast Height, the standard measurement).
• 7 large oaks measuring over 20” DBH.
• 8 invasive green ash trees (estimated removal cost: $3,000–$5,000).
• Ground cover primarily consists of invasive buckthorn.
• Encroachments reduce overall accessibility.
• The right-of-way is located near several homes, with one as close as 18 feet.
• Preliminary Analysis: Informal trail routes appear possible with limited impact.
Because the right-of-way would serve as a community connective trail, it must comply with
PROWAG (Public Rights-of-Way Accessibility Guidelines) standards, which include:
• A firm and stable surface.
• Maximum slope of 5% and maximum cross slope of 2%.
• Minimum width of 48 inches, with designated passing spaces.
• Required curb cuts and ramps.
• Use of a non-bituminous path is possible.
Page 124 of 558 Attachment 3
As part of the tree inventory, staff identified several considerations regarding tree preservation at
the site:
• Key concern: large oak trees, with current conditions mixed and in some cases unknown.
• Risks: potential damage from soil compaction, grading, and heavy traffic.
• A traditional trail design would likely result in significant tree loss.
• A non-traditional approach could reduce overall impacts.
• Possible next step: engage an arborist and engineer to determine the potential best trail
route and ways to mitigate tree loss.
The Commission reviewed the Parks and Recreation System Master Plan guidance for pedestrian
community connections, focusing on Goals 4.1, 4.4, 4.5, and 4.6. Staff noted that the Master Plan
identified this right-of-way segment as a potential “constellation link,” a conceptual connector
intended to support system-wide recreation access. However, this segment was not identified as a
priority route in the City’s Pathway Master Plan, which serves as the guide for future pathway
projects.
Staff reviewed metrics related to park access impacts for the right-of-way:
• The ROW is located within Constellation K.
• Closest Park: Evergreen Park (Community Park).
o Distance via ROW: 0.51 miles.
o Distance via streets: 0.69 miles.
• The Mid Oaks neighborhood falls outside the Trust for Public Land (TPL) 10-minute
walk-to-a-park radius goal. Currently, 94% of Roseville residents fall within the TPL 10-
minute walk-to-a-park standard.
o Evergreen Park (via Fairview): 0.86 miles.
o Falcon Heights Community Park: 0.86 miles.
o Evergreen Park (via ROW): 0.68 miles.
• The Commission reviewed existing pedestrian connections near the ROW
Staff reviewed potential cost considerations for the right-of-way:
• Hardscape path: $84,000–$177,000.
• Non-concrete path: $20,000–$60,000 (including design and site work).
• Volunteers and staff could assist with clearing invasive species and creating informal
paths.
• Engineering work would still be required to address slopes and accessibility.
The Commission revisited several questions that had been discussed at the previous meeting:
• Other neighborhood connections were created during the platting process.
• The Parks and Recreation Commission (PRC) can make a recommendation without the
ROW becoming a park.
• The PRC may provide advice on community engagement and implementation.
• Flooding risk is considered minimal with appropriate mitigation.
Page 125 of 558 Attachment 3
• If the ROW were vacated, ownership would transfer to adjacent neighbors, and the City
would no longer have control.
• A potential crosswalk at Roselawn would require review and approval by both the City
and Falcon Heights.
Staff reviewed the next potential steps, possible recommendations, and additional considerations
with the Commission:
• Joint meeting with the City Council scheduled for September 15, 2025.
• At that meeting, the Commission could:
o Provide an update on progress.
o Share recommendations (if ready).
o Propose next steps.
o Seek clarification from the Council.
• Possible Recommendations: Recommendation One
o Does ROW provide parks and recreation value?
Yes → move to Recommendation Two
No → Option 1: Vacate
No → Option 2: Retain without change
• Possible Recommendations: Recommendation Two
o If the parcel has Parks and Recreation value, what should happen next?
1. Study alignment/tree impacts
2. Begin non-traditional trail planning
3. Begin hardscape path planning
4. No trail; vacate ROW
5. Take no action now, but preserve ROW for future
• Additional Considerations
o Convert ROW to parkland (pending legal review)?
o Use Park Dedication funds?
o Does the Commission have feedback on an implementation method?
The Commission discussed whether there is a precedent for right-of-way land being used as a
park or trail. Staff noted that precedent does exist: some ROW segments have been used to
provide access to parks, and natural spaces are also part of the City’s Park System. However, this
parcel would be unique as it would be the smallest in the system and the only one to potentially
combine both uses.
Vice-Chair Beckmann asked if there was an estimated cost for an arborist to assess the trees.
Staff responded that they anticipated the cost would range from $500 to $2,000, depending on
the level of detail required in the assessment.
Commissioner Donaldson asked how the trail would be maintained in the winter. Staff
acknowledged that it could be difficult to plow an unpaved, winding trail during winter months.
Page 126 of 558 Attachment 3
Commissioner Penny asked about existing encroachments and how they would be addressed.
Staff explained that, under City policy, homeowners are responsible for removing encroachments
at their own expense.
The Commission also discussed potential concerns related to the site’s trees, particularly the oak
and box elder species.
J. Reinart, 1667 Ridgewood
J. Reinart, 1667 Ridgewood, spoke in strong support of saving the path. He noted that he does
not have a preference for the type of trail surface but emphasized the importance of maintaining
the connection. He shared that his own use of nearby walking paths has decreased and expressed
concern that removing this path would be a disservice to the broader Roseville community.
Noting that the path connects the neighborhood to key city amenities, including parks, trails, and
the local school. He reaffirmed that retaining the pathway is in the best interest of the City and
that the trees along the ROW can be protected while preserving access.
A. Lottie, 90 Mid Oaks Ln.
A. Lottie, 90 Mid Oaks Lane, shared her support for retaining the path. She explained that she
previously lived on the ROW, moved away, and later returned to the neighborhood nearby
because her family missed Roseville and the community. She emphasized that this is not about
creating a new path but about improving an existing one that already serves as a quiet, shared
space connecting neighbors.
Ms. Lottie noted that the path provided her children with a safe, more direct route to Brimhall
School, which they could take independently because they knew the neighbors along the ROW.
While other routes exist, they are farther and less safe, as they require crossing Roselawn
Avenue or walking along the Snelling Avenue frontage road, which is both busy and in poor
condition.
She expressed appreciation for the City’s efforts to study the land carefully and to prioritize tree
protection. Her hope is that some form of the longstanding neighborhood path can be retained, as
it is important not only to current residents but also to future neighbors. With the school year
beginning, she reiterated how much her family misses the path, as her children especially prefer
walking to school, rather than riding the bus, even during the winter months.
S. Quinn, 89 Mid Oak
S. Quinn, 89 Mid Oaks Lane, spoke in opposition to converting the ROW into a park. She stated
that her home abuts the property and that she did not purchase her home with the expectation of
living next to a park, noting that she likely would not have purchased it had that been the case.
Ms. Quinn expressed disappointment that the Commission packet did not address how
converting the ROW to a public park would impact surrounding neighbors. She emphasized that
21 residents (soon to be 24) live in adjacent homes, and their loss of privacy was not highlighted.
She further raised concerns about long-term tree damage, noting that the driplines of many
mature trees extend beyond the proposed 30-foot path. She stated that no treatment could fully
Page 127 of 558 Attachment 3
prevent tree loss if roots are disturbed. Ms. Quinn also referenced recent City Communications
celebrating an award for natural resources management, which highlighted the importance of
preservation.
She urged the Commission to prioritize saving both the mature trees and the privacy of the
abutting neighbors, who did not expect or want to live next to a park.
O. Gault, 2021 Herschel St.
O. Gault, 2021 Herschel Street, spoke in favor of retaining the path. She noted that she walks the
path year-round and, although it has never been shoveled, neighbors continue to use it in the
winter. She emphasized that residents are not asking for anything new but simply want to
continue using the existing walking path, which she has relied on for the 30 years she has lived
in the neighborhood.
Ms. Gault explained that she was unaware until the initial vacate notice that some abutting
property owners did not want people walking on the ROW. In response to the closing of the path
she created an on-line petition, and within one week it received 98 signatures representing 68
households, all supporting the continuation of the path.
She expressed regret that the issue has become divisive between abutting homeowners and the
rest of the neighborhood. However, she emphasized her hope that both the path and the
greenspace can be preserved.
D. Urswell, 1731 Shryer
D. Urswell, 1731 Shryer Avenue, spoke in favor of preserving the path. She expressed concern
for children living on Mid Oaks, noting that without the path they cannot move between
neighborhoods without running across busy streets. She emphasized that the path has served as a
well-established neighborhood connection for more than 30 years and that it is unfair to isolate
children by removing it.
Ms. Urswell stated that children should have the opportunity to take the healthier route of
walking along the path, rather than being forced to rely on motor vehicles to travel between
neighborhoods or access local community amenities.
J. Pribyl, 1738 Skillman Ave.
J. Pribyl, 1738 Skillman Avenue, spoke in support of the path. He stated that he enjoys using the
path and appreciates that this unique situation is being given thoughtful and creative
consideration. He noted that the path serves as a connector between neighborhoods as well as to
the University of Minnesota agricultural fields, which welcome walkers and provides a large
open space for recreation that his family takes advantage of often.
Mr. Pribyl also highlighted the importance of the trees, noting that they have long existed
alongside and within the ROW. He expressed appreciation that everyone’s input is being
considered and that the process has allowed neighbors to hear and understand each other’s
perspectives.
Page 128 of 558 Attachment 3
A. Quinn, 89 Mid Oak
A. Quinn, 89 Mid Oaks Lane, emphasized that the situation has changed since he purchased his
home. He noted that the size of the right-of-way has decreased over time and that there have
been concerns with unwanted activity in the area. He also pointed out that portions of the
existing path are located on private property, meaning the path cannot remain in its current
location and would need to change. He added that any changes would affect the trees and
observed that everyone seems to be in agreement about the importance of preserving them.
The Commission acknowledged that there are valid points on both sides of the issue.
Commissioners emphasized the importance of protecting the privacy of adjacent neighbors while
also recognizing the value of maintaining neighborhood connections to parks and trails.
The Commission discussed and agreed that the ROW provides Parks and Recreation value,
noting that this has been acknowledged historically as the Parks and Recreation Master Plan
identified the right-of-way segment as a potential “constellation link.” Commissioners also
discussed whether the property would be best classified as a park or as a right-of-way, and how
that decision could impact the preservation of trees. In addition, the Commission considered how
future property ownership changes could affect both the neighborhood and its natural resources.
Commissioner Donaldson moved to recommend to the City Council that the Parks and
Recreation Commission acknowledges that the Aldine right-of-way has value for the
Parks and Recreation System. Commissioner Kooistra seconded.
Roll Call
Ayes: Beckman, Botzek, Donaldson, Harris, Kooistra, Matts-Benson, Penny.
Nays: None.
Abstain: Her.
The Commission discussed potential options for moving forward with a recommendation to the
City Council, emphasizing that tree preservation should remain a top priority. Commissioners
agreed that a non-traditional pathway would be the most favorable option, as it would have the
least impact on the trees, unless a detailed study determined that the existing trees are not viable.
Chair Matts-Benson moved that the Parks and Recreation Commission recommends that
the City Council direct staff to, as expeditiously as possible, engage with a third party to
conduct a detailed study of a non-traditional path that includes:
1. Pathway alignment options and,
2. Specific tree impacts
and that a final decision be made immediately following the receipt of the study. Vice-
Chair Beckmann seconded.

Abstain: None.
Vice-Chair Beckmann moved to wait to discuss the “additional considerations” until the
feasibility study has been conducted. Chair Matts-Benson seconded.
Roll Call
Ayes: Beckman, Botzek, Donaldson, Harris, Her, Kooistra, Matts-Benson, Penny.
Nays: None.
Abstain: None.
b) PREPARE FOR JOINT MEETING WITH THE CITY COUNCIL ON SEPT. 15, 2025
The Commission reviewed the PowerPoint presentation prepared by staff for the upcoming joint
meeting with the City Council.
Commissioners discussed who would lead the discussion for each topic and what information
should be included in the presentation. Specifically, they suggested having the Park Tour,
Campus Master Plan, Recreation Program Quality, and the Parks and Recreation System Master
Plan on the “Other Discussion Topics” slide. They also recommended highlighting the goals of
“Supporting and grow the three Friends groups” and “Reviewing and advising on the Volunteer
Program” when discussing the Parks and Recreation Commission Goals.
c) MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS CENTER UPDATE (STANDING ITEM)
Requests for Proposals (RFP) have been issued for an architect, and a Request for Qualifications
(RFQ) has been issued for a construction manager for the project. Proposals will be reviewed
within the next week, with an anticipated recommendation to the City Council for an architect by
the end of the month, followed by a recommendation for a construction manager shortly
thereafter.
6. COMMISSION DIRECTION ON MEMBER INITIATED AGENDA ITEMS
Commissioner Penny requested adding the following items to a future Commission agenda:
• The potential of adding electric vehicle chargers as a future park amenity.
• Opportunities for collaboration between the Parks and Recreation Commission and the
community group at Parkview School working on an inclusive playground.

RE: ALDINE STREET RIGHT-OF-WAY TRAIL FEASIBILITY STUDY
Thank you for taking the time and effort to review my comments regarding the Aldine ROW trail
proposal which has the potential to have a significant impact on my adjacent property use, enjoyment,
and monetary value. I read the TRAIL FEASIBILITY STUDY and found the arborist's work in Section
3 thorough and revealing.
FEASIBILITY STUDY SECTION 3. Tree Study
The arborist's rating of tree quality is consistent with our observations in that the trees in the ROW are
mostly in good or very good condition (Appendix D). Further we have observed that the trees on the
adjacent lots are also in very good condition. Appendix D also shows the existing quality of each ROW
tree and the quality expected after construction damage. Every living Oak tree shows significant
reduction in quality and health due to the proposed construction in either option.
The arborist's analysis in Section 3.3.1 (page 5) also raises red flags for this proposal.
1. From Paragraph 2, "Even a single pass from heavy equipment within the critical root zone (CRZ)
can initiate a cycle of long-term decline."
2. It also points out in paragraph 4 that disease from damage to one tree's roots, stems, or trunk can
be communicated to adjacent trees via extensive roots and infect and kill an entire stand.
3. Paragraph 5 states that either of the two construction options/methods included in the study "is
likely to adversely affect the long-term health of the trees."
Alarmingly, the above findings together suggest that this work could initiate Oak Wilt killing of oaks in
the ROW and transfer Oak Wilt across entire stands of oak throughout the Mid Oaks neighborhood.
The question I heard from the City Council to initiate the study was: is there an ACA compliant pathway
through the ROW that would avoid loss of trees? Clearly the Arborist has answered NO. A very clear
NO. And not just the ROW trees but all the Oak Trees in adjacent lots could be at risk from damage-
initiated disease.
This study makes it clear the risks and costs of this proposed project far outweigh the benefit to the City
at large. It also warns of a potential tragic loss of many of these quality trees inside and ouside of the
ROW. Once these trees are damaged or gone, they cannot be reclaimed.

FEASIBILITY STUDY SECTION 4. Findings and Recommended Solutions
Feasibility Studies are crucial to a successful project and to be most useful they must be accurate and
complete in examining issues and options. One essential element: The No-Build Scenario, is not
included in the Study. It allows for a broad perspective on the project goals and benefits versus the cost
compared to other options. The example below is my evaluation of the benefits and costs to the City in
the case of NOT building this trail:
Table 1. Aldine Street Right-Of-Way Trail No-Build Option CITY
COST
PROS:
1. No tree damage in the ROW or risks of tree disease spread to private lots. Maintains $0
the existing high-quality trees and canopy.
2. ROW Vacation and no trail construction. The savings to tax-payers of more than $0
$120,000 (this number does not include a safe crossing at Roselawn, ADA ramps,
long term maintenance, the cost of construction plan development, or resident costs
to remove existing encroachments).
3. Residents maintain the area without City responsibility. Residents provide a Tree $0
Conservation Restriction to protect these oaks in perpetuity.
4. Pedestrians retain available safe crossings of Roselawn Ave at both Fairview Ave and $0
at Snelling Ave
5. Preserving oak trees is complementary and consistent with Rewilding Roseville
initiative toward maintaining the tree canopy and the Envisioning Roseville ’23
report that found Roseville is "a community that treasures and preserves natural areas $0
and prioritizes conservation and sustainability."
CONS:
1. Pedestrian access between Ryan Ave and Roselawn Ave is less than 1/4 mile longer.
TOTAL $0
Section 4.1 Findings states that "there is no accessible path alignment that will completely avoid the
existing oak trees' CRZ areas." Section 4.1.1 states that Option 1 will directly impact 2 trees and Section
4.1.2 states Option 2 will impact 14 trees. This assumes all the precautions in Study Section 3.3 for the
contractor are perfectly implemented. Over my years of working to protect valuable trees during trail
construction it is clear to me that contractors in general are not reliable protectors of valuable trees. The
competitive bidding process and the need for profit often short-change the tree protection methods. Add
that to the difficulty of access for this site and you have a recipe for tree loss well beyond the study’s
prediction.
Please allow us to continue to vigorously protect these amazing community assets and vote to
abandon a trail project here and vacate the Aldine Street ROW.
Thank you for your consideration,

REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
Date: 6/8/2026
Item No.: 7.d.
Department Approval City Manager Approval
Item Description: Consider Approval of Aldine ROW Vacation
1
2 Background
3 At the June 16, 2025, City Council meeting, the Council considered the City-initiated
4 proposed vacation of Aldine right-of-way (ROW) between Roselawn Avenue and Ryan
5 Avenue but took no action. After the meeting on June 16, 2025, adjacent residents to this
6 ROW signed a valid petition to vacate the ROW (Attachment 3). At the July 21, 2025 City
7 Council meeting, the Council considered the resident-petitioned vacation of the Aldine
8 ROW. At that time, the Council tabled the vacation until a feasibility study was completed
9 on the corridor to determine if a pathway was feasible.
10
11 A new mailing notice was sent out on May 28, 2026, and a new public hearing is required.
12
13 As indicated at the previous Council meetings, the right-of-way to be vacated is only the 30-
14 foot ROW that was dedicated through the Plat of Mid Oaks in 1938. The Ramsey County
15 Recorder’s Office confirmed the western 20 feet is private property. Attachment 10 is a
16 survey exhibit that the City’s surveyor completed after the last Council meeting. It shows
17 where the City ROW is, where the informal walking path is located in relation to the ROW,
18 and where City utilities are. The survey confirms that much of the existing walking path is
19 on private property. Since the last Council meeting, the City has acquired a utility easement
20 from one of the property owners and is working to acquire a utility easement at a future
21 date from another property owner.
22
23 As detailed in the previous council action, Aldine Street ROW Trail Feasibility Study was
24 completed. The feasibility study identified two potential options with cost ranging from
25 $78,100 to $120,000 plus additional costs for crosswalk treatments, if enhancements were
26 determined to be needed.
27
28 In regard to pedestrian connectivity in the area, if a pathway was installed in the Aldine
29 ROW, the pathway would be 590 feet in length and provide a trail connection at a ¼ mile
30 spacing instead of the ½ mile spacing between Fairview Avenue and Snelling Avenue. A
31 pathway would provide shorter connections between neighborhoods and the Roselawn
32 pathway. Without the connection, the walk is approximately 1,900 feet (~3.3x) further via
33 Fairview Avenue or approximately 2,700 feet (~5x) further via Snelling Avenue. This
Page 1 of 4
Page 135 of 55834 segment is listed as a constellation link in the pathway master plan (Attachment 11) but not
35 a pathway master plan segment. Both pathway master plan segments and constellation
36 links were scored using the latest pathway master plan scoring criteria. This constellation
37 segment scored 7 points. The current plan has pathway scores that go from 5-25, so this is
38 on the lower end.
39
40 Meeting minutes from the June 16, 2025 meeting are included as Attachment 6. Meeting
41 minutes from the July 21, 2025 meeting are included as Attachment 7. Comments received
42 prior to the July 21, 2025 meeting are included as Attachment 8. Comments received after
43 that meeting are included as Attachment 9.
44
45 The vacation resolution was publicly noticed in the newspaper on May 25, 2026 and June
46 1, 2026, and a mailing to the affected residents postmarked May 28, 2026, per State
47 Statute requirements. Affidavits of Publication and Mailing are available in the office of the
48 City Engineer. Since this is a new petitioned vacation instead of the City-led vacation
49 process held previously, a new official public hearing is required.
50
51 If the right-of-way is vacated, the area will revert to the underlying property owners which,
52 in this case, are the residents directly to the east, while utility easements would be retained
53 over the vacated area. The owners will benefit from having more control over the former
54 right-of-way areas. This also helps with confusion and disagreements over how the right-of-
55 way area should be maintained with regard to vegetation control and debris management.
56 Some of the adjacent property owners have inquired (Attachment 4) about amending the
57 petition to include dedication of a conservation easement. The City Attorney will provide
58 their opinion if this can be considered at the meeting.
59
60 Since this is a petitioned vacation, a simple majority or three-fifths vote is required to
61 approve vacation of this right-of-way. No vacation will be official until such time as the City
62 Manager executes and records a Notice of Completion.
63
64 Policy Objectives
65 This action is intended to “right-size” the City’s property rights and property management
66 responsibilities for Roseville’s current and future needs.
67
68 Equity Impact Summary
69 Although the ROW is currently not dedicated as a pathway segment, if the corridor is not
70 improved as a pathway, current non-motorized users will be more negatively impacted due
71 to the longer distances required to be travelled. If the ROW is improved, it will meet ADA
72 requirements and it will be more accessible to all users.
73
74 Budget Implications
75 Aside from costs related to filing the vacations with Ramsey County, publishing the public
76 notices, and the mailings to notify the residents, there are no direct costs to the City of
77 Roseville to vacate right-of-way corridors.
78
79 If the Council decides to install a pathway in the ROW, there will be future pathway costs.
80
81 Staff Recommendations
Page 2 of 4
Page 136 of 558 82 Staff recommends that the City Council approve one of the following actions:
83
84 1. Motion to approve resolution vacating Aldine Street Right-of-Way.
85 a. Only a utility easement would be retained. No pathway could be installed.
86
87 2. Motion to approve retaining right-of-way and designate a public pathway and to update
88 the Pathway Master Plan.
89 a. This would retain the right-of-way for a future pathway and would be added to the
90 Pathway Master Plan. It does not give authorization to construct the pathway. The
91 determination when to construct the pathway, how to construct the pathway and how to
92 fund it would be made at a future date.
93
94 If the vacation is not approved, and no other motion is made and approved, the status of
95 the Aldine ROW will remain as-is. This defers future use of this right-of-way to a future
96 date.
97
98 Requested Council Action
99 Conduct a public hearing (Attachment 2) receiving any public comments related to
100 proposed right-of-way vacation.
101
102 Consider approval of a resolution approving the right-of-way vacation of a portion of Aldine
103 Street that is located between the properties located adjacent to the properties located at
104 77 Mid Oaks Lane, 85 Mid Oaks Lane, 87 Mid Oaks Lane, 89 Mid Oaks Lane, 91 Mid Oaks
105 Lane, and 93 Mid Oaks Lane in the plat of Mid Oaks. [Attachment 1]
106
107 A three-fifths vote is required for approval of the resolution, as the vacation is petitioned.
108
109 Alternative action
110 • Consider a motion to approve retaining right-of-way and designate a public pathway
111 and to update the Pathway Master Plan.
112
113 If the vacation is not approved, and no other motion is made and approved, the status of
114 Aldine ROW will remain as-is.

for the hearing. "This is a public hearing to consider whether to vacate public
easements and right of ways.”
“This vacation request was initiated by a petition from adjacent property owns. The Council
will consider resolutions to approve vacating the rights-of-way as described in the
resolution."
THE FOLLOWING AGENDA CAN BE USED AS THE FORMAT FOR THE PUBLIC
HEARING:
B. City Manager comments including, brief description of proposed vacated easement,
published and mailed notices, and written objections to the proposed vacation.
It is suggested that the City Manager should make a general comment regarding the published and
mailed notices. This should include the following language:

After all citizen comments have been completed, the Mayor should indicate that the public
hearing is closed and turn the hearing over to the City Council for action.
F. Council action on proposed vacation. Note: Only a 3/5ths vote is required for the resolution, as
the vacation was petitioned.
1. Resolution approving the right-of-way vacation of a portion of Aldine Street that lies within
the plat of Mid Oaks.
(Resolutions provided by City Engineer.)
Page 145 of 558Page 146 of 558The Aldine Street right-of-way (ROW) was established in 1938 as part of the Mid Oaks Plat, with
legal description The portion of Aldine Street that lies adjacent to 77 Mid Oaks Lane, 85 Mid
Oaks27 Lane, 87 Mid Oaks Lane, 89 Mid Oaks Lane, 91 Mid Oaks Lane, and 93 Mid Oaks28 Lane
in the plat of Mid Oaks. The planned road segment was never built, and the City has no current or
future plans to build a road. In fact, City staff identified this ROW back in 2022 as one of many
ROW no longer necessary for public benefit, so the City proposed it for vacation (Figure ·1 ).
The City Council had the opportunity to take action regarding the ROW at its June 16, 2025,
meeting. The City Council did not vote in favor of the proposal to vacate the ROW, which required
a supermajority vote to approve. Staff presented an alternative option: direct City staff to add the
segment to the City of Roseville Pathway Master Plan. The City Council did not take this action,
nor did it direct staff to take any other action to delineate a public benefit of the ROW segment.
The June 16 City Council vote completed the city-initiated ROW vacation process.
For the June 16 meeting, City staff prepared a feasibility memo regarding the potential for path
installation in the ROW. The staff memo provided various facts, including the following:
• This segment is not in the Pathway Plan.
• Because there are existing paths along both Fairview and Snelling, Pathway Plan path
spacing goals are already met.
• Constructing a path that meets Pathway Plan standards would remove dozens of mature
trees and could harm remaining trees.
• Preliminary cost estimates for path construction range up to $177,00, excluding costs for
required enhancements to create a sate crossing at Roselawn.
• The segment scored very low (7 in a range of 5-25), placing it 71-75 in a list of 79 an
ordered list of rankings. The score was calculated by City staff using the Pathway Plan
ranking criteria and process.
Owners of all 8 abutting properties are in favor of this ROW vacation request and signed the
Petition for Vacation. As noted in the staff memo, ROW vacation would help with confusion and
disagreements over how the right-of-way area should be maintained with regard to vegetation
control and debris management. We abutting property owners would appreciate clarity regarding
use of and responsibilities for the segment.
Using the City's own plans, processes, and criteria, this ROW segment is not needed for City
purposes. We therefore petition the City through this owner-initiated request to vacate the Aldine
ROW, retaining utility easements (Figure 2).
Thank you.

Mayor Roe suggested that Nine North should keep considering appropriate policies
forvideo content, especially as AI technology progresses. He thanked Mr. Ongstad
for the presentation.
b. Consider Approval of Aldine ROW Vacation
Public Works Director Jesse Freihammer briefly highlighted this item as detailed
in the Request For Council Action and related attachments dated June 16, 2025.
Mr. Freihammer provided background on the Aldine right-of-way vacation, noting
that the city owns only the eastern 30 feet of the right-of-way. He explained that
the feasibility report indicated constructing a pathway would impact numerous trees
and cost between $84,000 and $177,000.
Councilmember Groff asked whether city staff had been going through Roseville
to identifypieces ofland that have not been used or connected, and that the Council
has been initiating some of those.
Mr. Freihammer explained that back in 2022, the staffsubmitted a list to the council
of properties the city wanted to vacate, and this right-of-way was included on that
list. This marked the fifthphase ofright-of-way vacations brought back forreview.
Councilmember Groff explained that when this item was first presented, the city
was unaware of the pathway.
Mr. Freihammer indicated that it was correct. The city was not aware of an existing
pathway, which was not identifiedon the pathway master plan.
Councilmember Strahan asked Mr. Freihammer if he could confirm whether a
pathway had been cut there fora potential path.
Mr. Freihammer indicated that on the north side ofRyan, there is a curb cut, but he
did not have any history about why it exists. However, it was probably done in the
90s when the road was redone.
Councilmember Schroeder asked if the city were to proceed with the pathway, a
number of mature trees would have to be removed.
Mr. Freihammer indicated that it was correct. Creating any type of improved
pathway there would impact the trees, resulting in significant tree loss.
Mayor Roe sought clarification on the impact of asphalt on tree health, even if no
trees would be removed.
Mr. Freihammer explained that, depending on the type oftree, some trees are more
susceptible than others. If the city were to improve the pathway, it would need to
Page 152 of 558Regular City Council Meeting
Monday,June16,2025
Page4
meet ADA requirements and be leveled to some degree, which would also impact
the trees.
Councilmember Strahan asked for confirmation on whether any items in the
pathway could obstruct it, such as semi-permanent fixtures, fences, and the like.
Mr. Freihammer explained that he had walked that corridor once, and a complete
survey had not been conducted, so he did not know for certain, but he thought there
were probably some encroachments.
Councilmember Bauer asked which side of the street the public utilities are on and
whether the city needs to secure them.
Mr. Freihammer explained that the city has a sanitary line running along most of
the corridor and a storm sewer that spans the entire length of the corridor. He noted
that these are located within the existing twenty feet. He also indicated that staff
will need to collaborate with the City Attorney on a process to ensure the city
secures those easements.
Mayor Roe asked if the city also has any utilities in the thirty-footsegment.
Mr. Freihammer explained that the city lacked utilities in that corridor, but there
are power lines and other semi-public utilities. This is why there is a thirty-foot
easement retained in the proposed vacation resolution: to access those utilities.
Mayor Roe opened the floor for public comment and explained the rules, with
Councilmember Strahan emphasizing the need for civility from everyone.
Public Comment
Ms. Anne Lottie, Mid Oaks Lane
Ms. Lottie shared her family's experience and conveyed a message of unity and
hope regarding the path issue at hand. She indicated that she had mixed feelings
and could empathize with both sides. She noted that her family uses the path
regularly and has friends and neighbors who live along it. She found it sad to see
the tight-knit community become divided, as the path has been connecting people
and neighbors for decades. She addressed safety concerns regarding the children
who walk the path, as well as the sense of community that surrounds it. She also
discussed the environmental impact of paving the pathway and mentioned that a
less formal option, such as a natural footpath or low-impact pathway, could be
constructed. She advocated for some form of compromise. She explained that the
Aldine path has contributed to the community's fabricand connections fordecades.
She urged the council to maintain the right-of-way as it is for now, hoping for a
plan that preserves an informal, quiet, natural footpath.

Page5
Ms. Eleni Skevas Mid Oaks Lane
Ms. Skevas addressed the council and thanked Ms. Lottie for her excellent
presentation. She also advocated for the city to maintain the right-of-way and
highlighted that the footpath provides access to Evergreen Park and Brimhall,
making it a lovely walk for the community.
Mr. Joe Donaghue Ridgewood Lane South
Mr. Donaghue explained that he uses the pathway twice a day and has done so for
years, since he discovered it while walking his dogs. He thought it was a wonderful
pathway filled with nature, and he enjoyed it. He agreed with the previous speakers.
Ms. Mary Bland Ridgewood Lane
Ms. Bland indicated that she has been walking the pathway for between 40 and 50
years and feels it is a little piece of heaven. She hopes the council will consider
preserving it for futuregenerations to enjoy as well.
Mr. Andrew Rehmann, Mid Oaks Lane
Mr. Rehmann stated that he has been using the pathway since 1994. He mentioned
having a five-year-oldson who will start at Brimhall, and he is looking forward to
his son being able to use the path. He indicated that he used the pathway as a child
and hopes his children will have the same opportunity.
Mr. Art Quinn, Mid Oaks Lane
Mr. Quinn indicated that he supported keeping the path. He explained that he didn't
mind people walking up and down it. He noted that he would consider the idea of
a natural path because he didn't want trees to be removed for a paved pathway.
Ms. Olivia Gault, Herschel Street
Ms. Gault stated that she spoke at the last meeting in support of maintaining a
natural pathway. She expressed her surprise at the animosity toward people using
the path. She explained that she and two other neighbors collected 98 signatures
from fellow residents in just one week, asking to preserve the path.
Mr. Kyle Fitzwater, Mid Oaks Lane
Mr. Fitzwater indicated that he and his husband have lived at 32 Mid Oaks Lane
for the past 21 years. He urged the council to vote against vacating the land in
question. He explained that generations of familieshave come to rely on the access
and use of the pathway. The path has become a safe alternativethat allows adults,
children, and pets to avoid traffic.The path is a neighborhood asset and serves many
residents and neighbors.
Ms. Michelle Pribyl Skillman Ave
Ms. Pribyl explained she was at the meeting to speak in favorof not vacating the
pathway. She frequently uses the trail to walk her dog and enjoy a beautiful stroll
in the neighborhood. They appreciate the woodland path as it is and support keeping
it as an informational pathway while preserving as many trees as possible.
Page 154 of 558Regular City Council Meeting

Page6
Ms. Carla Lewis, Mid Oaks Lane
Ms. Lewis indicated that she lives in the neighborhood and considers herself a
neutral party. Her concern is that there is considerable confusion regarding what
will happen with the pathway. She mentioned that some residents who do not use
the path and do not have dogs are worried about its appearance. She understands
that for liability reasons, there may need to be pavement, maintenance, and
additional liability considerations. She would like to know what the pathway will
look like and how it will impact those who live very close and own property
adjacent to it.
Mr. Kevin Watson, Aldine Street
Mr. Watson explained he lived three doors up from the start of the path. He has
three kids, a large dog, and uses the path frequently. He understood that many
people use the path and enjoy it, but he thought they have to think about the people
who are coming with new development in the area, and he thought it would be a
nice connection to a neighborhood to connect with people or places that are across
Roselawn.
Mr. Tim Brown, Mid Oaks Lane
Mr. Brown indicated that he attended the meeting a couple of months ago and was
one of the adjacent property owners who, for several reasons, prefer the vacation
of the right-of-way. He explained that one of his concerns was about the talk of a
"magical dirt trail" and how it would become an amenity the city planned to engage
in and take responsibility for, but it might not be suitable foreveryone unless it was
ADA compliant. He believed the Council needed to consider that whatever is
approved should be accessible to people in wheelchairs and those with limited
mobility. He noted that many bikers zoomed through the trail, which raised safety
concernsfor pedestrians. He believed that making the pathway ADA compliant and
ensuring a safe connection at Roselawn was necessary forpublic safety.
Ms. Cindy Gallaher, Herschel Street
Ms. Gallaher indicated that she attended the last meeting and believed that,
regarding ADA compliance, the pathway could use crushed rubber or limestone
instead of asphalt, as this would have a less significantimpact on the area.
Ms. Mindy Erickson, Mid Oaks Lane
Ms. Erickson asked the Council to vote to vacate the Aldine Street right-of-way.
She indicated that the right-of-waywas established about seven decades ago for a
street that was never built and was identified by city staffin 2022 as no longer
necessary for public benefit. This segment is not included in the Roseville pathway
plan because it is approximately a quarter mile from existing paths along both
Fairview and Snelling, and the existing path spacing already meets the layout goals.
In addition to deviating from layout norms, a city path on this right-of-way could
create a peculiar singular deviation from path location norms. It would create the
first and only city path situated between eight residential properties. The segment
Page 155 of 558Regular City Council Meeting
Monday,June16,2025
Page7
ranks very low when all city path priorities are taken into account. She asked the
council to vote forthe original city proposal, which included the complete vacation
of the Aldine Street right-of-way.
Ms. Rachel Brown, Roselawn Avenue West
Ms. Brown believed the staff did an excellent job presenting the two options and
explaining the reasoning behind the vacation. However, she found the pathway to
be intrusive, noting that part of it crosses private property. She agreed that if the
pathway were to be constructed, it should be done correctly and made ADA
accessible.
Ms. Sherri Middendorf, Mid Oaks Lane
Ms. Middendorf indicated that her property abuts the path and that she supports the
vacation because much of the path currentlyruns on private property. Rerouting the
path would disrupt a lot of the tree canopy that everyone cherishes.
Mr. Joe Pribyl, Skillman Avenue
Mr. Pribyl requested that the city consider a broader context. There is a nice right
of-way between Aldine and Roselawn. Still, there is also a network of other right
of-ways in the neighborhood that work in conjunction with this one, making the
. area more walkable and inherently safer, especially when pedestrians and those
using these walkways do not have to share a surface with motorists. He concurred
with all the comments regarding what contributes to the greatest good achievable
with the available resources. He acknowledged the need forADA compliance but
believed it unnecessary to engage in further discussion about the idea that if it were
not ADA compliant, it could not be used by anyone with a disability. They aim to
be sensitive to everyone. He felt they could collaborate to create a solution that
works well for all, maintaining a public space that serves the greater good and
benefitsthe most significantnumber of people, allowing everyone to contribute in
a way that benefitsthem.
Ms. Stephanie Kiihn Ashenbrenner, Herschel Street
Ms. K.iihnAshenbrenner explained that she had spoken at the last meeting, where
this was presented, and she believed a more creative response was needed that
struck a balance, allowing for a win-win situation. She questioned whether the
decision needed to be made at this meeting, suggesting that there were still
alternatives to consider and that a full evaluation of them might be in everybody's
best interest.
Ms. Sarah Quinn, Mid Oaks Lane
Ms. Quinn explained that she has lived in her home forfour years, even though the
property technically belongs to the city; she had taken care of it lovingly. She
indicated she has eliminated all of the buckthom and has a beautifulunderstory of
wooded plants there. She noted that she had never minded the people walking back
there, but she wanted to save the trees. Given that the entrances were each on private
Page 156 of 558Regular City Council Meeting
Monday,June16,2025
Page 8
property, she did not know how the path could exist as it did now. She asked the
council to vacate the right-of-way.
Mayor Roe closed public comment. He thankedthe public fortheir comments and
emphasized the importance of finding a solution that benefits the community.
The council discussed the feasibilityof constructing a pathway, the impact on trees,
and the potential costs involved.
Councilmember Groffasked about the public use of the right-of-way and the city's
ownership of utilities in the area.
Mr. Freihammer confirmed that the city owned the sanitary and storm utilities in
the area and would work with the city attorneyto secure the necessaryeasements.
The Council considered the options of vacating the right-of-wayor retaining it for
a public pathway, with a focuson findinga compromise that addressed community
concerns.
The Council acknowledged the complexity of the issue and the need for further
discussion and evaluation.
Groff moved, Strahan seconded, denying the right-of-way vacation of Adline, not
adopting the Resolution.
Council Discussion
Councilmember Groff indicated these issues are challenging, having listened to the
comments tonight. However, once the council approves a right-of-way vacation,
there is no turning back. If this occurs, that property is permanently lost, and the
city will never regain it. He believed enough discussion was presented tonight
regarding pathways and other alternatives. Perhaps considering a different type of
pathway or exploring a surface that could be ADA compliant is worthwhile. As a
councilmember, he feltuncomfortable proceeding with a decision that would result
in the permanentdissolution of the right-of-way, which is why he is voting to deny
the vacation.
Councilmember Strahan reiterated her earlier comments and expressed hope that
this would not serve as a divider in the neighborhood, but rather as a chance for
opportunity.
Councilmember Schroeder explained that if this passes, it must be acknowledged
that twenty feet is no longer available, making that part of the path not an option
for people to walk through others' property. Please respect the owners' rights and
Page 157 of 558Regular City Council Meeting
Monday,June16,2025
Page 9
wishes. She stated she did not want to see anything done to the mature trees, so she
would not support making this an officialpath.
Councilmember Bauer agreed with Councilmember Schroeder. His concernfor the
future is that if the city were to return this property to the neighborhood for their
decision, what would happen? He worried that if the city continues to designate this
as a right-of-way, it will be necessary to improve the pathway, potentially resulting
in the loss of trees. Vacating this property does not mean a path cannot exist; it
simply means the neighborhood will have the authority to decide. He believed it
made sense to vacate this and hand it back to the neighborhood to determine the
next steps. He expressed significant concern that the city should not maintain
involvement.
Mayor Roe reminded everyone that the motion is not to adopt the resolution or
vacate the right-of-way, essentially maintaining the status quo. He was not sure that
this is the ideal solution due to many of the points made. For example, a point was
made about the current setup being unavailable because it could be on private
properties, which would require workarounds. If the city pursues the step of
identifying it as a planned pathway, the status quo may be impaired because
development will be ongoing. The City still has the issue of private property
conflict. He believed that vacating it provides some certainty to the property
owners, but it does not address access and long-term use. There may be other
solutions out there that none of them are aware of at this point. In the future, there
could be some kind of action to return the property to a form of private ownership
that mightnot necessarily involve the adjacent property owners.
Mayor Roe explained that if this is a City facility, it is City property, and the City
must take action to improve it. He noted he would support maintaining the status
quo although it is not an ideal solution.
Roll Call
Ayes: Groff and Strahan.
Nays: Bauer, Schroeder, and Roe
Mayor Roe indicated the motion failed and asked if there was another motion to be
made.
Schroeder moved, Bauer seconded, adoption of the Resolution (Attachment 1)
entitled, "Resolution Approving the Vacation of a Certain Portion of Aldine Street".
City Manager Trudgeon noted a bench handout for the resolution.
Mr. Freihammer clarified the bench handout regarding the maintenance of the
utility easement along the right-of-way.
Page 158 of 558Regular City Council Meeting
Monday,June16,2025
Page10
Mayor Roe confirmed with the maker and seconder of the motion that the bench
handout resolution was what was being moved.
Councilmember Schroeder stated that this is what the staff presented. Initially, it
was meant to pass this as the city has done with many other properties. She
expressed significant concern about the tree canopy, and now that the city doesn't
have the twenty feet, it changes many things.
Councilmember Bauer seconded Councilmember Schroeder's thoughts. He
indicated that he had complete confidence that the best use of this for the
neighborhood is to vacate it, giving it back to the neighborhood, allowing them to
decide what to do with it going forward, and providing clarity for the future.
Councilmember Groff did not believe it would be returningto the neighborhood. It
conveys the property to the adjacent property owners. He did not want to mislead
the residents by suggesting that it was being returned to the neighborhood, as they
do not have the option to work on and build a pathway through that area.
Councilmember Bauer clarified that returning it to the neighborhood would allow
them to develop their solutions and collaborate on either maintaining this path or
considering other options, as the mayor previously mentioned, such as forming a
pathway association or something similar.
Councilmember Strahan agreed with Councilmember Groff. If the city returnsthis
pathway to the owners on the east side, it effectively becomes their property and is
no longer available for the community to consider.
Mayor Roe expressed uncertainty about whether the vacation was the right decision
at this time. He believed he had the luxury of opposing both motions while
maintaining the status quo.
Roll Call
Ayes: Schroeder and Bauer.
Nays: Groff, Strahan, and Roe
Mayor Roe clarified that the motion to vacate the right-of-way has failed, and the
status quo remains in effect. He acknowledged the need for further investigation
and possible futureactions to address the right-of-way and pathway issues.
Recess
Mayor Roe recessed the meeting at approximately 8:00 p.m. and reconvened at approximately

c. Consider Approval of Aldine ROW Vacation
Public Works Director Jesse Freihammer briefly highlighted this item as detailed
in the Request for Council Action and related attachments dated July 21, 2025.
Mr. Freihammer submitted the petition to vacate part of Aldine Street's right-of
way. Residents initiated the petition due to the low priority given to the pathway
and the associated environmental and financial costs of building an ADA
accessible path. He explained the history of the right-of-way, the survey results,
and the potential costs of constrncting a city path. He mentioned that the council
was asked to either approve the vacation or to retain the right-of-way and designate
it as a public pathway.
City Attorney Tierney submitted a memo on the legal issues of designating
dedicated right-of-way as parkland without a specific transportation connection.
Mayor Roe thanked Mr. Freihammer for the presentation. He also expressed
appreciation to Attorney Tierney for the memo, as he believed that after the last
meeting about this matter, the idea of possibly considering a park-based solution
had occurred to him and might have occurred to others as well. The question was
whether that could be a possibility.
Mayor Roe summarized the memo fromthe city attorney.
Public Comment
Mayor Roe opened the floorfor public comment.
Ms. Mindy Erickson, Mid Oaks Lane
Ms. Erickson requested that the Council vacate the Aldine Street right-of-way. She
explained that in 2022 and again over the past fewmonths, city staff used the city's
own criteria, processes, and plans to determine whether there is a city purpose for
retaining the right-of-way. In 2022, city staffdetermined that this segment, along
with many others across the city, was no longer needed for its original city use. The
1938 Mid Oaks plat described the segment as Aldine Street. This portion of Aldine
Street was never built and is no longer planned. More recently, staff and city
officials evaluated the constrnction of a city path. The June 10 path feasibility
Page 161 of 558Regular City Council Meeting
Monday, July 21, 2025
Pages
memo reports that building an ADA-accessible city path in the right-of-way would
be both environmentally damaging and expensive. The memo also notes that the
segment ranked extremely low compared to paths already planned across the city.
And finally, the recent land survey by the city shows that about three-quarters of
the length of the much-discussed dirt shortcut was on private property west of the
right-of-way, in the open, flat, low corridor around the stonn sewer aligmnent. The
city establishes processes and plans, in part, to guide fact-based decision-making
amid misinfonnation, conflicting opinions, and emotion. Please cast your vote to
respect the city's processes and plans, to preserve dozens of mature trees, to
recognize the city investments already made in paths along Fairview and Snelling,
and to redirect the city's limited resources-both time and money-toward critical
infrastructure, housing, public safety, and other city-wide challenges facing our
community. Please vote to vacate the Aldine Street right-of-way promptly.
Mr. John Reinart, Ridgewood Ln S
Mr. Reinart urged the Council to vote against the petition. He explained he and his
wifebought their starter home on Ridgewood Lane 35 years ago and have enjoyed
living in the neighborhood ever since. As long as he could remember, they had used
that path. For the past decade, he has had a home office for his employer, Oracle,
where he works as a software engineer. He stated he uses the path multiple times a
day; enjoying it and using it daily for medical reasons, taking walks, and reaping
the health benefits. The city, considering closing the path, does not benefit the
neighborhood. It seems to benefit only a few people, but it does a disservice to the
much larger majority.
Mr. Dan Gallaher, Herschel Street
Mr. Gallaher stated that his familyhad lived about two blocks away fromthe north
entrance to the trail since 1989, using the path in question frequently during that
time. To understand the issues at hand and explore the potential justification for
vacating public land forprivate use, he explained that he conducted online research
to detennine the basis for this decision and found a Minnesota statute that speaks
to the vacation of streets. It is 412. 851; the critical part that's relevant to this
discussion is that it says no vacation shall be made unless it appears in the interest
of the public to do so. This path is frequentlyused. It's used by many people in the
neighborhood. The petition that you received addresses this point, and
consequently, it's . challenging for him to understand how making that path
unavailable by vacating the land for private ownership would be in the public
interest. And so, he would ask the city council not to do that, not to vacate the land,
but to take public land and give it to people who have been occupying it for 60
years, perhaps longer. So that's one point. The second point is simply that you're all
familiar with the 2040 comprehensive plan. He would like to draw their attention
to the final part of the first sentence of that plan, where it states that the plan is
intended to develop over the coming decades and reflects the desires of the entire
community. And he would argue that the overwhelming number of people in this
community favor maintaining a path of some sort through there. He has heard
Page 162 of 558Regular City Council Meeting
Monday, July 21, 2025
Page 6
several times references to trees and damage to trees. He stated it was nonsense. It's
very easy to put a path through there without damaging any trees. No trees need to
come down. He thought that was obvious to anybody who would walk the path and
look at it. So, he would urge the council not to vacate the land. It belongs to the
public now, and it should remain so. The city should be allowed to make a path
through that area for the continued enjoyment of the many dozens, perhaps 100
people, who use that path. Thank you for your time.
Ms. Anne Lottie, Mid Oaks Lane
Ms. Lottie explained she lived at 90 Mid Oaks Lane with her husband and three
children. She stated that her family'sperspective is somewhat unique, as they used
to live in one of the Mid Oaks homes that abutted the path for 17 years; the path
was a quiet, lightly used feature of their backyard. It gave them a chance to say
hello to the occasional passerby and their kids a place to explore and play in the
woods. At the start of the pandemic, they relocated 30 minutes away to an outer
ring suburb, where neighbors were farther apart and tended to keep to themselves.
Four years later, this last summer, they moved back to the Mid Oaks neighborhood
just around the cornerfrom their old house. She noted they missed their village, its
warmth, its walkability, and most of all, its strong sense of community. She thanked
the city for conducting a survey and providing clarity regarding property lines.
Since the last meeting, her family has effectively stopped using the path. Their
school route is now uncertain. If the remaining 30 feet are vacated, she fearedthey
• would lose the opportunity for a practical, common-sense path solution. She
explained she would happily clear buckthorn, lay mulch, etc, to create a clearly
defined path that is fullyon the right of way. If a path ceases to exist, it would be a
great loss, not so much for her, even though she enjoyed passing through the
woodland, but for all the kids. Yes, they can ride the bus to school or walk the
longer, less saferoute along Fairview or Snelling A venues to friends' houses. And
while those options are feasible. They don't offer the same joy, freedom, or
connections. The Aldine path has been in existence fordecades. Over the years, the
route has shifted, fences have been erected, vegetation has encroached, and epic
stick battles have ensued. Native woodlands have been restored, and their
community has felt a connection. Please vote against vacation tonight, not to take
sides, but to give the city and its community time to come together and find a
thoughtfulsolution, one that preserves a simple footpathand the spirit of connection
it represents.
Ms. Mary Parnell, Ryan
Ms. Parnellstated she lives at 1760 Ryan. If Wheeler were extended fromBrimhall
to Roselawn, it would run along the east side of their property. She noted that they
currentlyexperience trafficfrom Roselawn through their home on Wheeler because
there are hard-surface walkways between Schreyer and Skillman, and again,
between Eldridge and the school. She explained they haven't discouraged anyone
fromdoing that. They have a similar wooded area, which she called no man's land,
between their home and the home on Roselawn, but she asked the council to vote
Page 163 of 558Regular City Council Meeting
Monday, July 21, 2025
Page 7
against vacating it. She mentioned that it might be better to finda creative solution
for the existing easement rather than increasing traffic, as there is a need for
schoolchildren to travel fromthose neighborhoods to their school. There is no fence
right at Roselawn. There's about a six-foot piece offencethat needs to be removed.
The fence running north and south could stay in place, and the path could be placed
on the other side of that fence. Creating a simple, natural path instead of a paved
one wouldn't have to cost much, and maybe neighbors could help with that.
Ms. Janet Risinger, Schreyer
Ms. Risinger explained that she lived at 1797 Schreyer, which is not very close, but
close enough to the pathway that they have used since moving into their home in
1991. She stated that they love that path, but ever since she discovered it, she has
never understood why the chain-link fence is up at the end. And to her, the simple
solution is to have that fence put where the line should be, so that you can walk
where it is and not where the path should be, instead of going through the driveway
of that neighbor. She noted she would like to know the reason why that chain-link
fence is there. It doesn't seem like it's in the right place.
Mr. Donald Gault, Herschel Street
Mr. Gault explained that he lives at 2021 Herschel Street here in Roseville. He
stated that he and his wife moved into their house 32 years ago, so they have lived
there for nearly half their lives. He noted he would not go into details about that,
but he has truly been living in Roseville for almost half of his life. One thing he
wanted to start with was saying that they love living in Roseville. He was reading
the city newspaper, which talks about the work this city does that all of you lead,
which is to connect us. You create a connected, caring community. He has walked
on that path thousands of times-literally thousands. If you take 32 years, multiply
that by two or three times a week at a minimum, and by 52 weeks a year, it totals
16,384 walks down that path. During those times, he has seen neighbors with homes
bordering the path, and everyone waves and smiles at each other. There has never
been any concern he's known of until this issue of vacation came up. He said this
should be funnybecause vacation always sounded like a happy word to me, but this
situation has caused great harm. He was not saying that to judge anyone here or to
criticize city staffor any of you. No one truly understood what you were doing, and
he thought at the time that this vacation request went through, there were probably
dozens or hundreds of similar requests. One question he had was, have any other
communities come forward with concernsand care about vacation requests like this
one has raised? He was not asking the council to say yes or no tonight. What he
was asking was for the council to help find and lead a healing process for our
community. When they drove to City Hall tonight, he noticed, and he thought many
of the residents did, that they were looking at each other, wondering, "Are you on
my side or the other side?" He explained that they are neighbors, and our country
is struggling right now, and everyone needs to be the adults who show how people
can live and care for each other. So, whatever happens tonight, we must move
forward and find ways to be caring neighbors again.

Mr. Daniel Ruen, Mid Oaks Lane
Mr. Ruen stated he lived at 20 Mid Oaks Lane. He noted he had lived there with
his spouse, Claire, for the last four years. He wanted everyone to imagine a
playground where kids have been playing together for years and have even grown
to love each other. Then, a PTA Working Group and a playground use Task Force
decided to allocate the tire swing area to only one group of kids, who happen to use
it more frequently than others. Naturally, the kids will start fighting,but it's not the
PTA Task Force's fault. They're just applying this rule across the school district.
However, what those kids need at that moment is for the principal, school
counselor, or some caring teachers to step in and say, "Hey, you know what? We
didn't think this through. Let's bring everyone together and figure this out for
everyone's best interest. 11 He knew all analogies can break if stretched too far. He
didn't see himself as a child who couldn't work things out with neighbors, but he
hoped everyone would take away two important points fromhis analogy. First, this
isn't their fault. As this gentleman said, "Well, this isn't our fault. The city imposed
this situation. 11 It's really on all of you to help us address it, not just legally but
relationally. Second, we are trying to followthe rules given to us, but we need your
support to think outside those rules with the help of a neutral third-party mediator.
Because, beyond wanting a community walking path-which I support-we need
positive, trusting relationships in our community. He truly enjoys his neighbors,
especially Art and Sarah, who are here, and Tam, along that right-of-way. Our
relationships are essential now, and will be more so in the future.Lastly, he believed
the city was overlooking a key opportunity to build resilience as a trusting
community. At the last meeting on this issue, he heard many say, "We want to work
together on a compromise. We ask for your help to be creative. We want to slow
this down. We can find a different way forward.11 He explained he was willing to
volunteer his time, so he asked, if the city can't guide them through such situations,
what will happen when they face 15 inches of rain, straight-line winds knocking
down trees, or a tornado? Or what if ice accumulates and causes more people to
disappear for ridiculous reasons? We just heard alarming reports fromthe county.
These challenges are already here. It means they will need each other, and the
residents will need the city. As a resident, he was not very encouraged by what he
had experienced so far. So, he urged the council to look beyond this situation,
beyond legal or policy issues, and think about the real investment in Roseville: our
relationships. It's not purely about money; it's about our collective will. He
explained he is a pastor at St. Anthony Park Lutheran Church, working closely with
the Community Council and Community Foundation, which offers resources for
pro bono, neutral third-party mediators, perfectfor this kind of situation. He would
be happy to share that infowith the city. Please, slow down this process, work with
the residents, and fulfill their roles as teachers, principals, and counselors, so we
can strengthen our resilience and relationships.
Ms. Michelle Pribyl, Skillman Avenue W
Page 165 of 558Regular City Council Meeting
Monday, July 21, 2025
Page 9
Ms. Pribyl explained that she lives at 1738 Skillman Avenue West. She mentioned
that she had emailed everyone over the weekend, so she wouldn't read her email
now, but she wanted to highlight a fewkey points to ensure everyone heard them.
First, she thanked Mr. Freihammer foranswering her question about the path and
the constellation related to the Parks Department. It's important to note that not only
those present who signed the petition about using the path recognize its importance,
but the Parks Department also acknowledged it as crucial for connecting the
neighborhood to schools and the park system. In her work, she often navigates
conflicting rules to find creative design solutions-that's what we need here: an
innovative solution that can address multiple issues. There are precedents for
options that are not necessarily what was initially proposed for the path. It doesn't
need to be a six- to ten-foot-wideconcrete or asphalt path; there are ADA-compliant
paths made of crushed rock, which are much narrower, and we have examples of
this in Roseville. Sunset Park, mentioned earlier, utilizes some of the crushed rock
on County Road B, allowing you to see how it's applied there. Additionally, paths
just north of this area, such as the one between Aldine and Ridgewood, are about
four feet wide, narrower than the pathways shown. There's also precedent for
pathway easements on private property. We have focused on creating a pathway
within the existing right-of-way, which she understood was the topic tonight.
However, she understood that an easement might be needed for utilities on the
current private property, and there could be an opportunity to create a new pathway
easement that follows the existing path. This could help preserve trees, fences, and
other vegetation while allowing fences to remain intact for neighbors. She believes
there is a way forward that can keep the community connected, and she hopes the
council will consider it.
Mr. Tim Brown, Mid Oaks Lane
Mr. Brown stated he lives at 93 Mid Oaks Lane. He explained they face the right
of-way, so they have frequent, ongoing experience with that area. What they
mainly see is that it's a convenient shortcut, which adds value. It doesn't reach the
recreational level that has been somewhat implied here, and honestly, they don't
see much trafficthere. Their position is that this public right-of-way was
dedicated in 1938 and hasn't received any maintenance, improvements, or
development fornearly 90 years. It is neglected-a no man's land-just a dirt
path that comes and goes, cutting through private property and being freelyused.
Bikes race through, people walk their dogs off-leash, and they don't pick up after
them. It's a chaotic and poorly maintained area, raising many questions about
what should be done there. He explained that they strongly support the city's
policy of adjusting property rights and management responsibilities, allowing
property owners to benefit fromreleasing land from the right-of-way. They also
see that the city's pathway plan doesn't prioritize this area highly in terms of
value. He mentioned there are many projects around the city, some much larger in
scope, that are prioritized fortransportation purposes. When setting priorities, this
should probably be low on the list due to its limited quality and usage. For these
reasons, they ask the council to vacate that right-of-way so residents can properly
Page 166 of 558Regular City Council Meeting
Monday, July 21, 2025
Page 10
maintain it and move forward, as this has been a challenging process over the
summer.
Mr. Richard McGehee, Mid Oaks Lane
Mr. McGehee explained that he lives at 77 Mid Oaks Lane and has lived there for
50 years. He mentioned that he was somewhat surprised by what he heard tonight
because he has lived near that path forthe same 50 years, and he does not recall
seeing so many people walking down there. There are occasional pedestrians, but
it's not as busy as described, and he hasn't seen the romanticism being depicted.
What he has observed there, besides some people walking their dogs, includes
some kids in the past who gathered and used it as a spot to smoke marijuana. He
knows it is legal now, but it wasn't back then. He has also seen kids causing
mischief in that area. Finally, he thought it was quite harsh to suggest that those
who bought the property without much knowledge should now have the fence
taken down. It just seems like a particularly cruel thing to do to your neighbors.
Mr. Joe Pribyl, Sldllman Avenue West
Mf. Joe Pribyl stated he lived at 173 8 Skillman A venue West in Roseville. He
thanked the council forallowing more public comment on the issue. He just wanted
to say that every time we have a public comment, the longer this process continues,
the more information we learn, and it's important. To think that a decision could
have been made weeks ago, or even longer, to vacate this property without the
information we now have would suggest that we made a hasty decision. There
probably needs to be more time to consider the options, especially given what we
are learning now, tonight, and recently. He could see a real danger in vacating
public land to private owners because once the discussion is closed, the land will
likely never be available for public use again, and he did not know what process
would be needed for it to be made available again. Many of the concerns expressed
can be or have been addressed. He wanted to emphasize that we all come with
goodwill. We can find reasons to vacate and reasons not to, but there is a clear
majority opinion, if not consensus, about what to do with this connection. At the
very least, he asked that the city avoid making hasty decisions or decisions based
on ideology that may have already predestined the outcome forthis right of way.
Please consider the views of the majority of the public, especially those who live
here, and strive to find a fair solution for everyone.
Ms. Rachel Brown, Roselawn Avenue W
Ms. Rachel Brown explained that she lives at 1705 Roseland Avenue West and
wanted to thank the Mayor and Council members for the opportunity to speak
again. She finds it interesting that the survey continues to be referenced or that
people claim the majority, and she understands there's a large crowd here today.
However, she has spoken to many who aren't present but have been respectful, kind,
and thoughtful-people who have stopped walking on the private trail on their
private land. She urges the council not to define what constitutes a majority based
solely on the number of people present. Many have moved on after learning the
Page 167 of 558Regular City Council Meeting
Monday, July 21, 2025
Page 11
facts. She wanted to address three points. First, she asked the council not to do
anything. As an English teacher by training, she intentionally used a double
negative, "do not do nothing," because people act as if this issue is settled. She
understands the sense ofloss for those who enjoyed the shortcut trail. But many are
not interested in the facts, and misinfonnation persists, particularly regarding the
20-foot detail. In some comments and documents, it was falsely claimed that land
was ceded or given back, which is not true. The city did not return twenty feet; it
was never the city's to give. The original ownership dates to the 1950s, when city
officials considered some land exchanges but never finalized them. So, it has
always been private land. It's troubling that some continue to spread this
misinformation. It's also clear where her land begins, as you can walk right through
the driveway past her house. What's less clear is the northernhalf, which Council
Member Schroeder has seen, but she doesn't know if anyone else has, since the
survey was completed. Nearly three-quarters of the shortcut runs on private
property, and people continue to walk on it, oftenignoring property lines. She has
had to post signs and ask people to respect private property. She states she now sits
on her frontstoop, wondering if someone might just wander by. She's fine with the
usual neighborhood sounds, but imagine someone walking along your home,
backyard, or side yard. For the six property owners involved, the current or
proposed trail would move closer to their yards, nearer to patios, play areas, and
backyards. She has endured months of people walking over her bee balm, despite
her efforts to deter them with signs. She thanks the council for listening. She asks
the council to vote to vacate the land, respecting that this community, built around
these eight property owners, has been gentle and respectfulin its engagement with
staff and the council. Please prioritize decisions that benefit those most impacted:
the eight property owners.
Mr. Kevin Watson, Aldine Street
Mr. Watson explained that he lives a couple of doors down from the north end of
the trail. He asked the council to consider two options. First, a prescriptive easement
over the current path on private property, which would maintain public use of that
path. You can consult your city attorney about what that process might involve, or
the city could assist neighbors in establishing a new path on the existing right-of
way; a new dirt path could avoid trees if fences were relocated. It sounds like this
plan is part of the constellation, although he was unsure what that meant. The
constellation plan has been considered over the years and envisioned, perhaps not
recently or by this council, but it exists. He sent the council an email with many
examples of dirt paths and connections throughout the Northeast Metro. One
example he wanted to highlight tonight was the final drive. At the end of Heinle
Drive, near Lake Owosso, there's a path extending fromthe cul-de-sac, crossing the
railroad, and serving as a dirt path between the railroad and County Road C, ending
at County Road C. There's no ADA ramp or crosswalk, similar to the trail at the
end of Al dine Drive. Some say this is a trail to nowhere because it terminates at
Roselawn, but it connects the Mid Oaks neighborhood to Brim Hall and Evergreen
Park. It also provides access for residents in Ridgewood and Woodside
Page 168 of 558Regular City Council Meeting
Monday, July 21, 2025
Page 12
neighborhoods to farm fields, the Roselawn trail, or the State Fair. Likewise, the
Heinle trail probably links to Central Park or the County Road C trail. Recently,
you learnedthis has been identifiedas a connection. He encouraged the council to
honor that constellation plan and support the neighborhood. It seems that
volunteers, including myself, are willing to help install a dirt path if fencescan be
moved to access the right of way. Thank you.
Mayor Roe closed the public comment period. He expressed gratitude to residents
and acknowledged the need for furtherreview and possible action on the petition.
Mayor Roe and councilmembers discussed the need foradditional information and
the potential benefits of a parkway woodland path.
Councilmember Strahan highlighted the absence of fence permits for certain
properties and how it affects the use of the path.
Councilmember Groff apologized for the city's part in the issue and proposed
focusing on shared solutions.
Councilmember Schroeder expressed concernabout tree removal and the safety at
the path's end.
Councilmember Bauer highlighted the importance of maintaining the
neighborhood's beauty and discussed the challenges of developing a path.
Mayor Roe proposed delaying the issue so the Parks and Recreation Commission
could review it.
Groffmoved, Strahan seconded, to table this item until further information is
received fromthe Parks and Recreation Commission about the possible use of the
right-of-way as a park containing a more natural type of path.

Page 169 of 558Page 170 of 558It was infonnally suggested that there may be room for a creative third option: the
neighborhood working together to create and maintain an info1mal path in the right-of-way,
perhaps a wood chip path that winds around the few trees at the south end. Toward this option
and as a staiiing point, we are asking the city to fo1mallysmvey the remaining right-of-way,
so that it is clear what land is and is not included in the right-of-way.

ROW and move on, but this trail is one of the things that makes this neighborhood special and
stand out from any other neighborhood in town. Below I have a handful of thoughts and ideas
I'd like you to consider and direct staff to bring back for discussion.
The City needs to conduct a survey of this ROW. Where is the path, where are the
fences, sheds, big trees, etc.? That's the first step to make a decision about the future of
this path.
The comment at the meeting after both votes failed was that status quo remains. But
that's not the case because the western portion of this trail is more than likely on private
property as the western 20ft of ROW were given back to the properties to the west.
Now you have residents knowingly or unknowingly walking on private property along
this trail. The status quo for the past 50 years is most likely gone. Again, a survey
should be conducted.
The western 20ft of ROW that never was is peculiar. Clearly a mistake by the
forefathers of the City. Mistakes happen. The City never did the correct title work and
installed city infrastructure under private property. The only way for the City to remedy
that is to pursue a prescriptive easement and to pay the market rate for that easement
after an appraisal. I believe when you are pursuing this acquisition, you could do the
same for the trail and pay for the path to remain on private property through that
easement. The public has been using this path, similar to the infrastructure underground,
for over 50 years and likely has a legal right to continue to use the path. Shouldn't be too
heavy of lift since the City will already be pursuing this for the underground
infrastructure. If the City does pursue this, I'd suggest they adequately delineate the
path to ensure people don't walk on private property. A low split rail fence should be
sufficient.
The other option is to reroute a path on the 30ft ROW. I think you have a willing group
of volunteers that would clear buckthorn, weed trees, etc. to make a new path. This is
my assumption. I'm sure the neighbors would take any help the City public works staff
would give them as well. A day or two by them would clear it pretty quick. Prime the
clearing with a week or two of goat munching perhaps??? Scapegoat Farms is one I'm
familiar with. But the problem with a new path is the fenced yard along Roselawn....
and by association, the fence at the intersection of Ryan/Aldine off the corner Mid Oaks
property.
The fenced yard is a problem. It's been there for 20+ years. How was it permitted in
ROW? Was it permitted? I believe the City should ask the property owner to move the
fence onto private property. If the City did in fact permit this fence, the City should pay
to move the fence back to private property. Right this wrong. I understand the path used
to travel through the fenced area before the fence was installed.
Lastly, so much was made about this path being ADA and needing to be concrete or
asphalt to do so.... and in turn destroying the trees to make the room. Liabilty concerns
were thrown around loosely which needed clarity on it's accuracy. Is this ADA
requirement a city policy? If so, does the Pathways Master Plan contradict that policy.
The plan states, "Non-paved pathways will be limited in use (walking, hiking, etc.)."
Limited is not the same as never. Regardless, city policies can always be tweaked by
the will of the City Council. The neighborhood DOES NOT want a paved or concrete
path. The abutting neighbors don't want that either. I believe I heard many abutting
neighbors say they only supported the vacation because they didn't want an asphalt path
that destroys the trees. One abutting neighbor said he would be ok if the path just
remained as is. This focus by the City that the path needs to be paved and ADA is
Page 176 of 558 distracting and is exacerbating that animosity between neighbors. Someday, when the
underground infrastructure needs to be replaced, and the trees are cut down to do so, put
in the asphalt ADA path. But there are plenty of examples in Roseville and the
northeast metro where pathways are dirt, bark chips, grass or gravel. While many are in
parks (county parks especially), there are some that serve as shortcuts or neighborhood
connections. Attached you'll find a pdf I put together that I started compiling 'non-
paved" paths over the past several weeks as I visited different communities in the area.
I took some pictures (some from google maps) and attached a map for each.
In the first example, it's the best example I could find in Roseville to the situation
we are dealing with. Maybe some of you are familiar. At the west end of Heinel
Dr., there's a paved path that travels west for about 800 feet. Then it terminates as
there's a railroad crossing that never got completed. Probably because Railroads
don't like ped crossings and they are notoriously difficult to deal with. But the
resiliency of the neighborhood prevailed and they have completed the connection
with a dirt footpath up to County Rd C and outlets just East of the
Victoria/County Rd. C intersection. Looking at old aerials, I think this is old
Heinel Dr. ROW that used to cross the railroad. It's a very similar situation and
by all accounts, the neighborhood accepts it as a dirt path. It's not ADA
compliant. Is the City any more liable for this path than the Aldine
scenario. More so since theres an actual paved trail that deadends? A trail to
nowhere for those in a wheelchair. I don't think there's any liability in either
situation. These paths just exist because the neighborhood/community wants
them, not necessarily because formal city decisions choose where paths should be.
If you've gotten this far, I appreciate your interest and support to help keep the Aldine trail
connection. I'm asking the City Council to be creative and do the right thing to keep this
community asset and also respect the private property owners rights to enjoy their properties.
You have talented staff I know can present you with a variety of options that can satisfy the
neighborhood and the abutting neighbors. The City staff may not have known about it, but it's
still a community asset organically created by generations of neighbors. Don't strip this away
from our neighborhood because once the ROW is vacated, the trail is never coming back no
matter how good the neighbors get along.
Bottom line, this trail can exist in Roseville. It SHOULD continue to exist. There are
examples of trails like this in Rosevile and the surrounding region. Lets slow down..... and
keep these vital community connections!
Page 177 of 558Trail Connection from County Rd. C to Heinel Dr. There’s a bituminous path from the end of
the Heinel culdesac to the west until it crosses the railroad track. The asphalt trail doesn’t
continue over the tracks but becomes a dirt path up to County Rd. C. The dirt path is not
ADA accessible. The day I visited, I saw a woman on a bike ride up the trail on the
southside of County Rd. C on the trail. Walk her bike across the county road, jumped on
her bike on the dirt path. There are no ped ramps to access this trail on County Rd. C.
Page 178 of 558The Lake Josephine County Park has parkland east of Lexington Ave. There are no
amenities but there is a trail connection that connects the neighborhood to Lexington Ave,
the Dairy Queen and the Lake. There’s also connections between the neighborhood as
well. It’s a dirt path in Roseville and not ADA accessible with no ped ramps from Brenner
Ave. or Lexington Ave. I’d guess most users are neighbors that use it to walk their dog and
loop the neighborhood.
Page 179 of 558In North Oaks at their Southpointe Park, they have a gravel path that connects the parking
lot to the neighborhood. Additionally there’s a dirt path between the City of North Oaks
parking lot and the park. This trail is organic and allows for overflow parking. Clearly
accepted by the City.
Page 180 of 558In Arden Hills there are quite a few un paved paths thru their community. The specific one I
highlight goes straight between two homes through the woods to Valentine Hills
Elementary. This appears to be a nice short cut for the neighborhood.

Street. A great connection for a dog walk or walking to the commercial district.

Park which connects to a couple other neighborhoods.
Page 183 of 558In Falcon Heights, there used to be a dirt path connecting these streets near the school
together. It worked this way for decades. Again, there’s no rush to pave this trail. Falcon

compared to paths that are already planned across the City. The segment was not added to the
Roseville Pathway Plan.
Owners of all 8 abutting properties favor ROW vacation and signed the Petition for Vacation.
As noted in the staff memos from both the April 21 the June 16 Council Meetings, ROW
vacation would help with confusion and disagreements over how the area should be
maintained with regard to vegetation control and debris management. Abutting property
owners would appreciate clarity regarding use of and responsibility for the segment.
Please cast your vote to respect the City’s processes and plans, safeguard dozens of mature
trees, value the substantial investments already made in building accessible paths along both
Fairview and Snelling, and direct the City’s limited resources – both time and money – toward
the high-priority issues facing our city.
Please vote to vacate the Aldine Street right-of-way on July 21.
Thank you for your service to our community.

Dear Erik,
I am writing to thank you, the other city staff,and the City Council for working to vacate the
unused Aldine Street right-of-way that runs along the full length of my property at 1705
RoselawnAvenue West.
I am in full support of the vacation and deeply hope that the City Council Members will
vote in favor of the proposed resolution at the meeting on April 21, 2025.
The home was built in 1934, well beforethe 20-footright-of-way was set on what is now my
property.
Since I moved here in 2000, I have been a diligent steward of the city land along my property
line - mowing grass, mulching leaves, and pruning trees and bushes. The proposed vacation will
allow me to have more control over these activities on the 2,640 square feet that is set to be
released to me (132 ft. x 20 ft), subject to utility easement.
More importantly, the vacation will let me address the problem created when the right-of-way
was established in 1951 and made more problematic when the existing garage was extended a bit
(sometime in the 1960s): there is no viable option forme to have a driveway that is solely on
my property and connects to my garage. The existing gravel driveway is expensive to
maintain, a challenge for snow removal, and non-compliant with city code.
When I received notice of the vacation, I was delighted to have a long-awaited resolution to this
problem. As I plana home remodel, including a garageto replace/expandthe very small 1-car
one, I amlooking forwardto having access to landthat will allow me to create a code-compliant
driveway that is paved and fully on my property.
Again, many thanks for your work on this. Please let me know if there is anything I cando to
make this happen as plannedon April 21.

Caution: This email originated outside om organization; please use caution.
Hi Mayor Roe,
I am one of the 8 tmderlying property owners of the Aline Street Vacation (Area V) that you
will be voting on tonight.
I ask you to please vote Yes on the full vacation of the Area V tonight.
All 8 prope11y owners are eager to have full access to our land (subject to the utility easement).
We also all agree that we do not want a formal, city-code compliant paved path that would
completely alter om landscapes, change our use of our prope1ties, disrupt our lives during
planning and construction, remove or distress, existing oak trees, and cost the city a lot of time
and money.
And forme, personally, the full vacation lets me finallyaddress signifiantissues on my
prope11y where I have lived for 25 years.
1) The ROW line is just a few feet frommy garage ently. (First photos below shows the
approximate line from two perspectives). The house, built in 1934, well before the 1950's
ROW was enacted, had a small tuck-under garage. A 1960s addition (white siding part)
extended the garage a bit, but either way, the ROW was ve1y close to the garage. This means
that in order to have car access to the garage, my driveway must be on the ROW land.
2) Because of this, I have a gravel driveway that is not code-compliant and is expensive to
maintain. (Third photo shows one of the gravel piles, left on the lawn after a season of snow
removal.) Full re-graveling costs about $2,000 and needs to be done eve1y 2-3 years.
3) The raising of the roof line in the 1960s remodel also created an issue with the back
bedroom windows - they were originally windows to the outside; now they open into the
garage (fowthphoto). This is a problem.that I intend to coITect with a garage/house remodel.
But without the ROW po1tion returnedto me, there is little space for me to build a normal
garage.
All this to say, I was ve1y thankfulto learn of the city's plan to vacate the ROW for me and
the other underlying prope11y owners of this land.
My fiance and I have begun work with an architect on the home and garage design, but we
cannot move fo1ward with this until the ROW issue is resolved.
So we really hope you will vote yes for the full vacation tonight.
Thank you foryour consideration.

Item 7.a

To: Roseville City Council
Director of Public Works, Jesse Freihammer
Assistant City Engineer, Erik Henricksen
I am writing to the Council as I will be unable to attend the meeting tonight. However, I have
learned that there may be discussion of the creation of a formal City pathway along the
Aldine/Roselawn easement.
There are several reasons I believe a formal City pathway here is unnecessary, unsafe, costly,
and damaging to the neighborhood environment. I am hopeful that the Council will vacate the
easement as recommended by Public Works for the reasons outlined below.
1. The City has held this land forwell over 40 years without a plan or identifieduse.
2. This trail is not now and has never been part of the Pathway Master Plan and does not
appear to meet the usual and standard criteria for such a designation.
3. This right-of-way area has never been maintained by the City.
4. Toundertake any formal pathway project would result in the destruction of many large,
heritage trees, including some that have been used by significantwildlife in our area.
5. Construction of a formalpathway would have considerable financial costs for both
construction and maintenance, costs borne by the public for very limited.
6. The school district provides safe bus service to all school age children on Mid Oaks Lane
and Mid Oaks Road with a pick-up point on the Lane for elementary students.
7. The current safe and accessible Fairview pathway links to pathways along Roselawn and
across Snelling and both north and south along Fairview.
8. There is no pedestrian crossing along Roselawn at the point of this pathway, and
Roselawn is a busy street, especially at rush hour.
9. There is excellent access forthe entire area north of this proposed vacated area to the
well-maintained, established, safe, and accessible pathway along Fairview.
10. The predominant use of this trail is by dog owners accessing the University Fields. The
safer and easier route is to use the existing Fairview pathway and accessing the
Roselawn pathway and University Fields at the four-way stop and pedestrian crossing at
Fairview and Roselawn.
Thank you for your consideration.

Easement Adjacent Homeowner
Page 208 of 558Page 209 of 558neighbors use this ROW for outdoor storage or dumping leaves. Most have fences that
buffer them from the ROW, although the end property at Mid Oaks/Roselawn extended
the fence into the middle of the public ROW back in the 80s/90s
I'm writing today to ask the City Council to direct the City staff to explore what it might
take to retain or make a permanent trail/sidewalk through the easement known as area V
(the extension of Aldine Street from Aldine/Ryan intersection to Roselawn). I believe this
trail would support your current Strategic Plan priorities related to environmental
sustainability, pedestrian connectivity and inclusivity. The City has owned this ROW for
decades. Affording more time to explore a permanent trail solution through it would be
prudent. Lastly, I recognize the old farmhouse uses the ROW to access their garage. I'm
confident there's an option for the City and the homeowner to work around a trail.
https://share.icloud.com/photos/0efm9Mm3Gu11kKDgaudZ4HXuw
Lastly, as far as the neighborhood, I have no concerns about the vacation of ROW for
Area U and W. The extra area surrounding the existing sidewalks can be given to the
neighbors as they are maintaining them anyway. I envision a similar solution could be
created for the Aldine extension. These trails are such an amenity to the neighborhoods
and kids walking to Brimhall Elementary for school. I would imagine some also use this
Aldine ROW to walk to school or baseball practice at Evergreen Park.
I plan to be at the meeting tonight to make a similar request, but wanted to share the
video if you haven't walked this stretch yet.
Kevin
Page 210 of 558Page 211 of 558packet materials, current transportation and pathway plans were
used to identify the list of ROW no longer needed by the City.
ROW vacation benefits to the City and adjacent property owners
were noted to include more owner control of property use and
clarity regarding responsibility for vegetation control and debris
management.
A turnback of the Aldine ROW that includes a 20-foot pathway
easement would place an undue burden on property owners and
would not align with the purpose of the City’s ROW vacation
actions. Property owners would be forced to assume
responsibility and risk without receiving the rewards of property
ownership. The Aldine ROW also has about a dozen mature oak
trees, which would be vulnerable during and after construction of
a potential future pathway.
The 2021 City of Roseville Pathway Master Plan (Plan) includes
detailed maps of existing and proposed paths. Proposed
pathways were vetted and prioritized according to a well-defined
process. Plan maps (pages 44-49) illustrate pathway placement
and spacing norms across Roseville and a few short sidewalk
segments between residential properties. There are no long
pathways, existing or proposed, between residential properties.
The Aldine ROW is not in the 2021 Plan, presumably because
there are already two off-street paths with controlled intersection
crossings within about ¼ mile of the Aldine ROW. Inserting a
spontaneous pathway on the Aldine ROW would create both a
dangerous, uncontrolled crossing at Roselawn and a singular
departure from Roseville’s normal pathway placement and
spacing.
Roseville’s mission statement says in part that the City will
provide ethical and efficient government, and that the City
aspires to prioritize environmental conservation. Methods for
upholding the mission statement are laid out in processes and
planning documents. The City-proposed Aldine ROW vacation
has been impeded by misinformation and emotion. Fortunately,
the City has established processes and thoughtful plans in-place
to aid unbiased, fact-based decision-making when faced with
disagreement.
As career civil servants ourselves, we respect and appreciate the
effort and expertise of City staff, the value of established
processes and precedent, and the significance of forward-looking
planning documents. We are also grateful to you, the citizen
elected officials of Roseville, who have agreed to impartially and
equitably act in good faith on behalf of all Roseville residents.
Please vote to vacate the Aldine Street right-of-way retaining the
existing utility easement, as the City originally proposed and in
alignment with the 2021 City of Roseville Pathway Master Plan.

Page 213 of 558Page 214 of 558Page 215 of 558Page 216 of 558standards detailed in the 2021 City of Roseville Pathway Master
Plan (Plan). The Plan describes path essentials such as
preferred location on ROW, accessibility by all, and sufficient
width for both bikers and pedestrians. ROW also provides clarity
of the City’s responsibility for tree trimming, dead tree removal,
other long-term maintenance activities and costs, and liability.
City liability should be clear because a new path will create a
dangerous mid-block intersection at Roselawn, a high-volume,
fast-moving traffic road during rush hour when kids travel to and
from school. As a homeowner, a ROW turnback that includes a
path easement is a worst-case scenario: new responsibility, risk,
liability, and costs while receiving no beneficial use of “our”
property.
In contrast, a ROW turn-back would clarify our full responsibility
and allow our beneficial use. The dozen beautiful oak trees and
many other mature trees in the ROW would be preserved. In our
opinion, we already have enough asphalt, including two existing
off-street paths, along both Fairview and Snelling, each just ¼
mile away. We value protecting every mature tree in the ROW
more than we value the convenience of using the neighborhood
shortcut: Oaks over Asphalt.
A ‘footpath petition’ reportedly has many signatures intended to
show wide support for the neighborhood shortcut. Unfortunately,
the online petition version included misconceptions and
misstatements regarding this process. Also, during the April 21
public comment period some shortcut advocates voiced
opposition to a paved path. We also support Oaks over Asphalt
in the Aldine ROW, but we disagree regarding a City-sanctioned
neighborhood shortcut for privileged use by only the able-bodied.
Additionally, a formal City shortcut on the Aldine ROW would
create an irregular, singular occurrence in the entire City of
Roseville: the first and only long City path sited between
numerous (8) residential properties (Plan maps, pages 44-49).
Roseville’s mission statement says in part that the City will
provide ethical and efficient government, and that the City
aspires to prioritize environmental conservation. Please put the
mission statement into action by respecting Plan spacing and
siting norms, valuing the substantial investments already made
building accessible paths along Fairview and Snelling,
safeguarding mature trees, and spending limited City resources –
our taxes – on higher-priority paths than a neighborhood shortcut
just ¼ mile from two existing paths. Please vote to vacate the
Aldine Street right-of-way with a utility easement, as the City
originally proposed.
Sincerely yours,
Melinda Erickson and Tim Brown

Please Share Your Dear Councilmembers,
Comment, Question or
Concern I'm writing to convey by opposition to the city building a trail
between Ryan and Roselawn. The project will clearly harm the
old growth trees in the area. The feasibility report by Dana
Schumacher clearly shows the loss section 3.3.1 and Appendix
D. It is imperative that Roseville keep as much as it's old growth
canopy as possible.
I have no opinion on whether or not the right of way should be
vacated.
Thank you,

Please Share Your Like many of my fellow Roseville resident, I have a serious
concern that building an accessible path through the Aldine
Comment, Question or
Street right‑of‑way would create significant, irreversible
Concern environmental damage while offering minimal public benefit.
The City‑funded arborist report makes clear that the large,
century‑old oaks and surrounding trees are currently healthy, yet
both proposed path designs are “likely to adversely affect the
long‑term health of the trees” and that “even a single pass from
heavy equipment within the (tree) critical root zone can initiate a
cycle of long‑term decline.” These findings indicate that most
assessed trees, and many smaller, unassessed trees, would be
killed or permanently compromised.
Page 222 of 558 The study also acknowledges the risk of oak wilt spreading
through interconnected root systems, meaning tree loss could
extend far beyond the construction corridor and into the
surrounding neighborhood canopy.
Financially, the quoted $120K construction estimate omits major
costs, including a safe Roselawn crossing and long‑term
maintenance. For a short, seasonal path located just a
quarter‑mile from two existing year‑round routes, this represents
poor fiscal stewardship.
Finally, the feasibility study does not evaluate a No Build option,
despite its clear advantages: preserving environmental benefits,
avoiding unnecessary spending, and reducing long‑term City
maintenance obligations.
For these reasons, I strongly urge the Council to vote to vacate
the Aldine Street right‑of‑way and avoid a project that is
environmentally harmful, fiscally inefficient, and unnecessary.

Please Share Your I support the Roseville City Council approving the resident

Comment, Question or
Concern There are about 50 established, beneficial trees in the right-of-
way: white oak, bur oak, silver maple, American elm, box elder,
and others. This urban forest provides food, homes, and shelter
for dozens of species of insects, birds, and mammals, as well as
shade to adjacent yards and homes. Undeveloped, this area of
urban forest could live decades to centuries longer.
Using the City’s own plans, processes, and criteria, this right-of-
way segment is not needed for City transportation purposes, and
building any type of new, accessible shortcut would be expensive
Page 225 of 558 and environmentally damaging. Building a new shortcut would
divert funds away from City-wide amenities at a high
environmental cost. In contrast, vacating the right-of-way would
“right-size” the City’s property management responsibilities,
leave all environmental benefits intact, and cost the City nothing
more.
Please vote for fiscal and environmental responsibility by voting
to vacate the right-of-way.

Please Share Your I want to voice my support for the Roseville City Council
approving the resident petition to vacate the Aldine Street right-
Comment, Question or
of-way.
Concern
In this time of rising property taxes, I think it is absolutely
irresponsible to be spending taxpayer money on an unnecessary
shortcut connecting two roads. We're talking here about building
a shortcut path would be a convenience for only a few Roseville
residents. What else could this taxpayer money be spent on?
We can also talk about the environmental impact. You're
considering tearing down an urban forest of over 50 beneficial
trees. We've already seen too many trees being torn down in
Page 236 of 558 Roseville. We'll never get these trees back. And you also risk
causing damage to the neighboring trees.
I hope that someone will read this and consider the
overwhelming negative impacts of this shortcut project. Vote to
vacate. It's the fiscally and environmentally responsible choice.

Comment, Question or
Concern It sounds like neighbors feel the trail is not necessary. Mature
oaks are a precious keystone species and should not be
endangered!
The City should maintain the ROW and not build the trail. Who
knows what infrastructure may be needed 50 years from now.
We’ve experienced Dutch elm and Emerald ash borer. Perhaps
there will be an infrastructure need and no trees! It’s deeded
public ROW and should be maintained as such.
Thank you!

Please Share Your Dear Roseville government officials,
Comment, Question or
I am writing to express my concerns about the proposed project
Concern on Aldine Street which would require the removal of large, old
growth trees. From my understanding, this project benefits very
few residents while costing the rest of the citizens of Roseville
not only tax dollars but valuable nature. The removal of these
trees is a permanent detriment to both human and animal
residents of our city. It would take generations to try and claim
back what is lost once it became evident the mistake that was
made, just so a few people could have a shorter walk. There are
alternative paths very close by to the proposed project, and I
believe it's about time people start prioritizing what is best for the
Page 250 of 558 whole over what is slightly more comfortable for themselves.
I urge you to cancel this project. Our tax dollars and manpower
can and should be spent on things that enhance the lives of as
many Roseville citizens and visitors as possible. There are things
much more deserving of our money and attention that would
continue to make this a great place to live.
Thank you,
Kara Simmons
25-year Roseville resident

Comment, Question or
I am contacting you regarding the upcoming vote on the Aldine
Concern ROW. I'm asking you to preserve both the habitat and our tax
dollars by voting to vacate the ROW.
Those trees are irreplaceable in any of our lifetimes. They
support established wildlife that is losing habitat in our area
everyday. Unless we make decisions that will preserve habitat,
future generations of our city will not be able to enjoy the natural
element we do today.
The cost can be avoided entirely and used for higher priority
Page 253 of 558 purposes. It seems like everyone benefits from a vote to vacate.
Thank you for your consideration,
Keith Knepper

Please Share Your I ask that the City Council vote to vote to vacate the Aldine Street
right-of-way on June 8.
Comment, Question or
Concern We, as Roseville Residents, value fiscal responsibility and good
stewardship of century-old tree systems. The proposed 30-foot-
wide right-of-way has about 50 beneficial trees, and there is no
good reason to kill these trees, which is what will likely happen
per 3 City path studies which reviewed this scenario. This expert
review has caused many neighbors who previously wanted it to
change their minds. Adjacent homeowners have already formally
agreed to protect oak trees in perpetuity.
While I may not be able to give my residential opinion about a

our wishes regarding this City vote.
Thank you.

Re: Aldine Street Right of Way Path to Chop down Old Growth
Comment, Question or
Trees
Concern From: Linda Lange, Burke Ave West Roseville
Date: 6-3-26
Dear Council Members,
Question: What can citizens of Roseville do to help save our
climate?
Answer: Saving century-old oak trees from extinction by vacating
the Aldine Street right-of-way.
Page 261 of 558 Trees have proven, positive environmental impacts.
Trees convert polluting carbon dioxide into energy, providing life
sustaining oxygen. Old growth oaks are exceptional specimens
capable of vast carbon dioxide conversion, based on their huge
size, and far-reaching roots and canopies. Humans cannot do
this.
Trees shade the ground, lowering the temperature, particularly in
urban areas, thus saving humans, plants, and animals from
excessive heat. Humans cannot do this.
Trees provide habitat for bugs, birds, and mammals. Humans
cannot do this on the same scale.
Trees are stable, long-term reservoirs for polluting carbon
dioxide. Humans cannot do this.
Trees are flood control devices because of their heft and root
structures. Humans are not flood control devices.
Established old growth Tree Killing Elevated Path is not a Legacy
to be proud of.
Taxes spent to implement this pathway at the expense of trees
for the benefit of a few is a sacrifice of the many.
Taxes spent to undercut citizens from WALKING a bit further is
not a health-minded solution. Minnesota after all has harsh
winters; few citizens walk then anyway.
It is not shameful to end this tree-devastating boondoggle of a
tax dollar waste of money at this City Council meeting.
Every City Council action has a legacy impact on the overall
fiscal stability of its citizens. Spending on this construction project
is not even a valuable asset. Metro mobility rides for local
disabled folks would be a far better and CHEAPER investment.
A legacy to be proud of is regard for the planet, for avoiding
degradation of nature’s trees, for health and well-being of fitness
of citizens (including transportation subsidies), for carbon dioxide
sequestration, and for saving tax dollars for worthy public safety
projects commonly called police and fire departments.

Mayor Roe, Council Members, and Roseville residents,
As a homeowner adjacent to the Aldine Street right-of-way (ROW), I offer two observations
“from my backyard.”
First: the City has posed the greatest threats to the health and well-being of the dozen majestic
oak trees and other large trees in the ROW, both in the past and projecting into the future. Past
work by the City or City contractors killed big ROW trees. Both path feasibility studies prepared
over the past year were unambiguous that building an accessible path in the ROW would
devastate its currently healthy urban forest.
From my perspective, unless the right-of-way is vacated, the corridor remains at risk of
environmental devastation by the City at a huge financial cost to the City (aka all Roseville
taxpayers). Alternatively, we adjacent Mid Oaks Lane homeowners formally offered to protect the
trees with a legally binding agreement, such as a conservation easement, to be permanently placed
on our property records. This offer to the City would protect the trees in perpetuity for community
benefit and cost the city nothing more.
Second: the Aldine Street ROW was originally taken from the platted adjacent lots specifically to
build Aldine Street, a requirement for plat approval by Ramsey County back in 1938. But the
platted Aldine Street was too close to the platted western part of Mid Oaks Lane: 150 feet rather
than 300 feet away, which is the typical minimal street spacing in Roseville, elsewhere in the
state, and now specified by MN-DOT for an intersection between a residential street and a busier
street (Roselawn Ave, formerly called Co Rd A2). By the time the City started to consider
building Aldine Street in the '50s, when houses were being built and the platted Mid Oaks streets
were built, Aldine Street was not built, presumably because of the "too close" spacing issue.
“But for” the requirement that the 1938 plat include Aldine Street, the 30 feet would have
originally been platted as part of the western Mid Oaks Lane lots. These western Mid Oaks Lane
lots would then have been of similar depth to the other Mid Oaks lots and other lots in our
neighborhood. Instead, these western lots are shallower. Isn’t 88 years long enough to wait for the
City to correct a mistake perpetuated since 1938?
On June 8, please vote to vacate the Aldine Street right-of-way, both to protect the trees in
perpetuity and to remedy a long-standing oversight by your predecessors.
Thank you,
Mindy Erickson

Please Share Your Dear Roseville City Council members,
Comment, Question or
Concern I am a Roseville resident (Midland Hills) and wish to express my
support to vacate the proposal for an Aldine Street right-of-way
path.
There are already two accessible paths within one quarter mile of
this location. The loss of mature trees as well as the cost to
construct and maintain a project that will benefit only a small
number of residents does not seem reasonable.
Adjacent Mid Oaks Lane homeowners formally offered to protect
the trees with a legally binding agreement permanently placed on
their property records. This offer would protect the trees in
perpetuity and cost the city nothing more.
In Midland Hills we are already losing a huge green space to
development, so saving these precious oxygen-producing
community trees that are also homes for birds and wildlife is
important to me.
I urge you to vote to vacate the Aldine Street right-of-way on
June 8.
Thank you,
Nancy Morales

Please Share Your Hello,
Comment, Question or
Concern I am writing to express my concern over the growing threat to
Roseville's urban canopy. We have lived in Roseville for 25 year,
and have watched our precious micro-forests dwindle to make
way for more developments as well as to be used as park
spaces. While we love public parks/spaces, they must not come
at the expense of essential, irreplaceable urban wild spaces.
I would like to share a research paper my daughter wrote on this
topic for one of her classes, but I do not see how to add a link to
this form. Having grown up in Roseville, she cherished these
urban forests and has been alarmed to see the rate they have
been declining.
Today, we are specifically asking the council to vote to vacate
the Aldine Street right-of-way and take action to protect all
remaining urban forests. Please consider that we must protect
these spaces for the benefit of all. Once removed, we cannot get
them back.
Best Regards,
Leah Ybarra

FROM: Tim Brown, Mid Oaks Lane
RE: ALDINE STREET RIGHT-OF-WAY VACATION
In 1938 Ramsey County approved the plat for the Mid Oaks Addition which included a 30 foot
strip of right-of-way easement across the western portion of 6 lots on the western edge of the
plat. It was mapped as Aldine Street and was clearly intended for use as a Street. Though this
potential use was abandoned within 20 years or so, the easement was not vacated and stands in
limbo some 88 years after establishment.
In April of 2025 the City Council initiated a vacation process to "right size" the City's property
holdings and clearly place responsibilities for maintenance on underlying property owners.
During this process the City Council and City Staff have done a thorough examination of
potential transportation use and found that the benefit of developing a transportation
infrastructure here is not commensurate with the cost. Therefore, the intended use of this
easement will likely never be met.
We support the vacation currently under consideration and the benefits it brings to the City and
the adjacent residents.
Opponents of the vacation would like the City to retain the easement assuming that will allow
people to walk through as a short cut between the center of the neighborhood to the north and the
University of Minnesota's trial fields. The cost in Oak trees and in dollars of establishing a
pathway that meets ADA and City requirements is prohibitive. Otherwise, a dirt-worn trail short-
cut serves a small number of residents and doesn't alone justify the continuance of the easement
or the cost for maintenance and the safety issues posed by the outlet mid-block of a busy street.
From the start of the process, the vacation opponents have apparently recognized the limited
justification for the easement and resorted to emotional appeals. Over the year of meetings amid
public comment and letters we have been accused of:
1. Initiating this process
2. Greedily trying to steal public property
3. Threatening and intimidating opponents
4. Being anti-community
5. Being responsible for the problems facing America
6. Putting a fence across the easement to block passage
7. Plotting to remove the Oak trees once the easement is vacated.
Page 279 of 558None of these accusations are true or based on any knowledge or conversations with us. It
appears to be a cynical attempt to distract and vilify those of us in favor of the vacation.
Especially frustrating is the charge that we are not advocates for our beautiful Oak trees. 88
years since the imposition of the easement and the trees are standing strong and healthy. Several
generations of homeowners on 6 lots have respected and helped the trees thrive.
The Oak trees are a primary reason we purchased our home. Every landscaping move we make
we consider them first. Toward stewardship of the Oaks in our yard and the ROW, we have
removed hundreds of square feet of impervious surface from inside the trees drip lines. We have
spent hundreds of dollars watering these trees during time of drought. We spent $3,500 to
carefully remove an aggressive Siberian Elm that was damaging the Oaks in the easement. We
have also spent many hours removing other understory invasive plants in the Easement and
elsewhere.
We will continue to fight for these trees. From the start of this process we have had the trees
front and center to our motivations. The City of Roseville has no Tree Protection Ordinance nor
strong Tree Protection Policies. The City of Roseville has presented a project for feasibility
which has the potential to cause wide-spread loss of the Mid Oaks namesakes. Meanwhile the
concern that we, who have most to lose by damage to the Oaks, will cut these trees down is
infuriating.
Please finally end this imposition on our lots of this easement without justification. We want to
continue to conserve and steward this land as long as we can and pass it to the next generation
with a full canopy.
Thank you

Please Share Your I am puzzled by the project currently proposed for little Aldine
Street. Mature trees are to be felled, and those that remain are to
Comment, Question or
have their roots disturbed by the stress of construction and the
Concern traffic of dog-walkers who are enticed by the charm of having a
poop-path especially for them. As this little street runs along
BEHIND established houses, who will make sure that the elect
few will pick up their dog-deposits, so as not to befoul the
ambient air that embraces the bedrooms of these established
houses?
Two options are suggested for the paving of this special route,
gravel or “boardwalk.” It takes very little imagination to grasp that
the established, well-paved streets that parallel the little street,
Page 282 of 558 Ryan Avenue and Roselawn Avenue, provide more secure
walking, and more incentive to remove the unsightly waste left on
their routes by the pooper patrol.
As a historian, I feel it necessary to mention that trees have
already been sacrificed in the name of Aldo Manuti, whose
Aldine Press (as it is known in English) was the major publisher
of literary monuments worthy of humanistic study in the Italian
Renaissance. Leave Aldine Street alone, and don’t deprive the
Roseville community of its trees and precious old natural
habitats.

Mr. Trudgeon,
Thank you for providing access to the Aldine Street ROW Feasibility Study early enough for
people to review before the June 8 meeting.
While the study did address some of the questions about costs (e.g., cost estimates for two
path options, 5 year impacts on trees), there are still many that were not included.
I know you and City staff are busy with other work and there is not much time before
Monday.
But will you please provide answers to the questions below before or during the June 8
meeting?
Even if there is not time to get hard numbers for all the cost questions, I hope even the
questions themselves will help Council assess the extraordinary expense and impact of a
possible path before they make their decision on the ROW vacation petition.
Thank you.
Rachel Brown
Roselawn Ave W
QUESTIONS
Use
1) Is it true that a path - either option - would be for pedestrians only? I did not see
reference to bike traffic in the study or proposed plans. At only 4 feet wide, the path is well
below the 10-feet needed for shared use by pedestrians and bikers, as noted in the Roseville
Bike Plan. With the turns, slight change in grade, and speed issues, there are significant safety
concerns for mixed use.
2) If no bikes are to be allowed, this may be surprising to people. How would the City
communicate a no biking restriction?
3) Given issues we have seen with people continuing to walk and bike (including dog-powered
and electric bikes) on the private land to west of the ROW, how would the City enforce a no
biking restriction?
4) When and how would a path - either option - be closed for the snow/ice season? Ice and
snow are particularly concerning for the boardwalk option, given how the wood would
become very slippery. It has been mentioned before that City staff would not plow or shovel a
Page 284 of 558 path in this area. Similar to the no biking question, how would this be communicated and
enforced?
Initial Cost
5) How much would it cost to install a crosswalk at the south end, crossing Roselawn? As
noted in the study, Roselawn does have a high traffic level, even more so at times like now
when other construction projects (e.g., 280) divert traffic into our neighborhood. Without that
crosswalk, there are serious safety concerns.
6) Given experience with other projects in Roseville, does City staff believe that the cost
estimate provided by TKDA is accurate for either option and if not, what are their
estimates? For example, the necessary construction method in the 30 foot space - building the
path from either end in in portions and then using each stretch of path to build on to the next -
seems particularly inefficient and seems likely to be more expensive that the cost noted.
Utility Issues
7) With a path, how would City staff or contractors access the power lines and other poled
utilities? This includes to periodically clear trees branches and brush. Would a path - either
option - allow for staff to access the space to do the needed work, without damaging the trees
further?
8) There is a 16.5 foot sewer easement, from the ROW west into properties at 1705 Roselawn
and 1706 Ryan. But my understanding is that there was also to be sewer easement to the east
as well. If so, how would City staff or contractors access the sewer if needed, particularly
at the corner where all of the sewage that runs from all the Roselawn houses from
Fairview to the ROW turns north. Note that that critical manhole seems to be very close to
the boardwalk in the boardwalk path option.
Maintenance
9) What would be the ongoing costs to maintain a path - either option - annually and
long term. This would include re-grading and resupplying the gravel and, for the boardwalk
option, ongoing patchwork maintenance and full replacement at the end of its anticipated
lifespan.
10) What would be the plan and cost for tree maintenance in the space? With many trees
in danger of decline, there will be tree loss. Some trees when close to death may be
strategically removed. Others may fall, adding damage to nearby trees, structures, and the
path. How will City staff or contractor access those trees and the related damage spots via the
path - either option - without inflicting more damage on the other trees?

Comment, Question or Support for Vacating the Aldine Right-of-Way:
Concern
Dear Council Members,
Last year, I originally signed the petition to oppose the ROW
vacation to save the pathway. I thought the path would stay the
same- a narrow dirt walkway through a pretty forested area. In
the fall, when I learned more detail from the surveys and pathway
development plan, I changed my mind in favor of vacating the
ROW. With the recently released TKDA feasibility report, I must
restate that I support the ROW vacation.
The forested area in question would be effectively ruined by
developing the pathway. This forest represents a small but
important Roseville wild area: trees and vegetation will be killed
or damaged and many resident nonhuman animals would be
displaced. For the past 27 years I’ve lived adjacent to the
pathway on Aldine Street. I have enjoyed seeing the wildlife that
depend on this undisturbed forested area. Examples: many birds
(including turkeys, owls, hawks, bald eagles), coyotes, raccoons,
opossum, red and grey squirrels, and more. These creatures
(also plants and trees) are Roseville residents and deserve
consideration.
I think we need to preserve this wild area and others that we still
have in Roseville. I recently read the latest May/June 2026 issue
of the Roseville City News: there is a major article on pages 4-5
about "Rewilding Roseville". I agree that we should be preserving
these suburban wild areas, rather than damaging/cutting down
healthy trees to enlarge and develop this pathway that relatively
few people will likely use.
I’ve reread the minutes and public comments from the Council
meeting of June 16, 2025: people noted how they’ve enjoyed this
path through a beautiful wooded area. But if this path were to be
modified (either Option 1 or 2 of the feasibility report), its natural
beauty would be lost. For example, Option 1 was predicted to
have the least impact on trees: it would consist of a 4’ wide
pathway of raised boardwalk on pads (pad material unknown),
and gravel containing a stabilizer, with 5’ square concrete pads
at each end of the path.
Page 287 of 558 As described in section 3.4 of the TKDA feasibility report and
Figure 4 (pages 6-7), making the path ADA-compliant will be
difficult and would involve significant work. Cost: over $120,000
for Option 1; over $78,000 for Option 2. With continuing inflation,
the actual costs will likely be higher. In my opinion, we currently
have significant economic challenges in our state and country
and should be prudent about how we spend our money. This is
not the time to be spending hard-earned tax dollars for a project
that is not essential and will diminish the quality of our
neighborhood.
Respectfully,
Sandra Armstrong

Comment, Question or
Concern I am asking you to approve the petition to vacate the Aldine
ROW.
Protecting the oak trees has always been at the forefront of our
vacation petition. The recent feasibility study shows that any path
will be detrimental to the health of the oaks. Several smaller trees
will also be sacrificed for a path.
The petitioners have formally promised to protect these oaks if
you approve the vacation.
Please vote yes to vacate the Aldine ROW.

Please Share Your I am writing on this issue as an adjacent property owner who has
Comment, Question or cared for a portion of this ROW for many years. I have removed
Concern nettle, burdock, Siberian elm, green ash and buck thorne from
much of the adjacent area. I have pruned, watered, and fertilized
the major oaks in the adjacent ROW area. I have planted native
plants in my yard and part of the ROW and have certified my
yard as a wildlife habitat.
I am writing in support of a motion to vacate the Aldine ROW.
The Council has examined this issue extensively and spent a
considerable amount of public money to study the options. This
area of heritage trees, including oaks, cannot be safely used as a
“pathway” or “shortcut” without putting the existing ROW trees at
risk as well as adjacent oaks residing in private yards. (Refer to
the Feasibility Study and the analysis of Tim Brown.) As seen in
the Feasibility Study, the “path” which was referred to by
residents as having been used in the past did not and does not
intersect with the existing ROW except for a very short portion in
the very center of the ROW. Both “entrances” to the limited ROW
portion are entirely on private land. Given the report by TKDA
and the area previously used as a “shortcut” being outside the
ROW, it seems to me that the initial staff recommendation for
vacation was proper and correct.
The ROW was established in 1938, 88 years ago, as a
government requirement necessary to obtain approval of the Mid
Oaks Plat. The document itself calls out public use of “Streets,
Avenues, Lanes, and Roads”. Aldine Avenue is not now nor can
it be an Avenue, Street, Lane, or Road from Ryan to Roselawn. It
is simply an ROW which is “surplus” land because it is not
possible to use it for its specified purpose. The standard use of
such land is to return it to the adjacent property owners from
whose lots it was originally subtracted.
I appreciate the City’s effort to be sure that all voices were heard
and acknowledged by requesting a feasibility study. The
consultants hired did a thorough analysis and identified many
shortfalls and costs of building anything within the ROW. Building
a pathway in the 30’ ROW would exact a heavy financial price
and an even heavier environmental price. The financial price
would fall on all the residents of Roseville while providing limited
value to a very few. It is hard to evaluate the environmental loss
Page 292 of 558 should the trees become unhealthy, diseased, or die over the
next few years due to any work within their root zones. Given the
City’s climate and sustainability goals, this potential unnecessary
tree loss is difficult to support and painful to imagine.
I believe all appropriate steps have been taken and impacts
studied to arrive at the correct decision. The Aldine ROW has
been “surplus” land since 1938. I urge you to return the 30’
Aldine ROW to the adjacent property owners and to support a
conservation agreement that ensures the ongoing health and
protection of these trees and Roseville’s flyway canopy for next
88 years and beyond.

watering, fertilizing, and pruning. This care has included some of
the oaks in the ROW.
I am now writing to urge the Council to return the Aldine ROW to
the adjacent land owners and to consider implementing the Tree
Conservation Restriction document signed by adjacent land
owners. I fully support this document or an equivalent document
that ensures the ongoing protection and health of the major trees
within the ROW in perpetuity. I feel very strongly about the
protection of these trees because I am also an expert in
environmental mathematics and climate change models, subjects
I research and teach as a faculty member at the University of
Minnesota. The loss of any trees contributes to the degradation
of the Earth’s environment and to the changing climate that the
planet is now experiencing. I applaud the City’s commitment to
preserve the health of its trees, and I urge the Council to apply
that commitment to the stand of trees within the Aldine ROW by
returning them to the care of the adjacent land owners.

City of Roseville Pathway Master Plan
6. PREFERENCE LIST OF PATHWAY SEGMENTS
Previous versions of the Pathway Master Plan included a list of priority projects and
ranking based on qualitative evaluation criteria as defined by the Pathway Advisory
Committee (a defunct group of citizens that served as a steering committee for the
Pathway Master Plan). Committee members identified the list of priority projects and
individually scored them based on the evaluation criteria. The scores were then
weighted and added up to provide a composite score and rank for each project. While
the ranking process was beneficial, there was concern that scoring system provided
inconsistent results, and that future updates could result in different ranking results.
As part of the 2017 Pathway Master Plan update, the PWETC revised the scoring
system and evaluation criteria for use in this plan. The updates were intended to be
simplified, quantitative, and easily replicated for future use. The PWETC assessed and
consolidated the 10 previous evaluation criteria down to 6 criteria. The PWETC then
modified the scoring for each criterion and established quantifiable measurement
tools using readily available GIS data and City maps. In addition, the PWETC revised
the list of projects for evaluation to eliminate previously completed pathway segments
and divide up longer segments to reduce the potential for over-scoring due to project
length. Based on the updated evaluation criteria, City staff utilized GIS data to apply
the scoring system to the updated list of preferred projects.
The following evaluation criteria were used by the PWETC to rank projects based upon
the applied scoring system.
Evaluation Criteria
1) Connects multiple destinations.
Provides safe and convenient access to businesses, schools, churches, work, parks and
other community amenities and destinations.
Add one point for each type of destination within 1/4 mile of pathway
• 1-Each-Institutional use (school, university) within 1/4 mile
• 1-Each-Park/Open Space use within 1/4 mile
• 1-Each-Public facilities within 1/4 mile
• 1-Total-Industrial/Office use (employment centers) within 1/4 mile
• 1-Total-Commercial use within 1/4 mile
Measurement tool: City’s Future Land Use Map
2) Volume of usage.
The pathway corridor has shown a consistent need for facility development based on
its ability to serve the surrounding population and employment base.
Total population within 1/4 mile of pathway
• 3-Population is 3,000 or greater
October 11, 2021 Page 29
Page 297 of 558 City of Roseville Pathway Master Plan
• 2-Population is 2,000 to 2,999
• 1-Population is 500 to 1,999
• 0-Population is less than 500
AND
Total employment within 1/4 mile of pathway
• 3-Employment is 3,000 or greater
• 2-Employment is 2,000 to 2,999
• 1-Employment is 100 to 1,999
• 0-Employment is less than 100
Measurement tool: US Census Block Dataset
3) Connects to regional system.
Provides linkage to the larger network of pathways that extend beyond Roseville. The
pathway serves longer trips within Roseville and into neighboring cities.
• 3-Regional corridor (county road, regional/state trail, RBTN route)
• 2-Local pathway that directly connects to regional corridor or Parks &
Recreation System Master Plan Trails and Parks Constellation Link.
• 1-Pathway provides local connection only
Measurement tool: City’s Pathway map and regional bikeways mapping
4) Addresses a gap or barrier in the transportation network.
Addresses a pathway network gap along the transportation network and/or crosses a
major barrier. Eliminates a major barrier or safety concern in the pathway network
that may inhibit bicycle or pedestrian travel.
• 5-Provides enhanced safe crossing (grade separated or improved
intersection) of major highway (I-35W, TH 36, Snelling Avenue) or railroad
• 4-Completes pathway along A-Minor Arterial roadway
• 3-Completes pathway along Other Arterial roadway
• 2-Completes pathway along Major Collector roadway

Scoring Results
The following table shows the cumulative results of scoring the preference list of
pathway projects using the evaluation criteria established by the PWETC. See
Attachment 6 for a more detailed Project Preference List and Scoring Results.
Segments with * next to the project name are new segments added to the plan.
Segments with # next to the project name are segments that are shown on the Parks
& Recreation System Master Plan Trails and Parks Constellation link.
Segments that are highlighted in green are pathway segments on arterial roadways
with volumes greater than 4,000 ADT which do not have a pathway on either side of
the roadway.

The results of the scoring exercise will be used by the City to assist in prioritizing future
pathway projects as part of the annual capital improvement program update.
However, it is important to note the list of preferred projects will not be implemented
based on the ranking results, as this list is intended to be updated periodically. In
addition, there are several factors that can affect the timing and cost of developing
pathway projects. These factors include coordination with planned roadway
improvements (when it may be most feasible to construct new pathway segments),
the availability of right-of-way, utilities, constructability, and magnitude of project in
terms of both length and cost. For example, if a proposed pathway project is located
along a roadway that is programmed for reconstruction, then coordinating the
pathway improvements with the road improvements is the best opportunity to
implement the project (regardless of project ranking). Likewise, the ability for a
proposed pathway project to obtain external funding could also accelerate the
development of such a project.

1. Only have 30’ of potential ROW for a pathway.
2. Segment is 590’ long.
3. TKDA study identified two potential options.
4. Costs vary between $78,100 and $120,100 plus additional costs for crosswalk treatments, if enhancements were
determined to be needed.
5. Aldine pathway would provide ¼ mile connection. Without the connection the walk is approximately 1,900 feet (~3.3x)
further via Fairview Avenue or approximately 2,700 feet (~5x) further via Snelling Avenue.
6. Based on Pathway Master Plan scoring criteria, the preference points are 14 (Constellation Link CK-2). The current plan
has pathways that go from 5-25. This pathway would rank 23.

Mayor Roe and Council members,
On behalf of myself and about 730 people from about 600 Roseville households, I transmit to you the
following clear request from all of us:
Please vote for fiscal and environmental responsibility by voting to vacate the
Aldine Street right-of-way. Vacating the right-of-way would “right-size” the City’s
property management responsibilities, leave all environmental benefits intact, and
cost the City nothing.
I want to acknowledge that the City Council could have taken the easy route last summer: deny the
resident petition to vacate on the heels of denying the City’s own petition to vacate. But you did not take
the easy route; you took the harder, longer route to ask the right questions. You put the City’s
aspirational statements regarding accessibility and environmental preservation into action by asking
experts to (1) study whether an ADA-compliant route is feasible, and (2) evaluate potential impacts to
significant trees, including both intentional and long-term unintentional impacts. The consultant/arborist
path feasibility study is unambiguous: developing an accessible path is possible but would severely
damage the existing healthy urban forest.
Please keep upholding the City’s value of accessibility through your decision. Vote yes to vacate because
denying the petition to vacate solely to allow privileged right-of-way use by the able-bodied would be
inconsistent with the City’s stated values and would be questionable as an official City position. Public
facilities and public grounds should be inclusive for use by people with mobility impairment. Mobility-
based exclusion is at odds with City, State, and Federal requirements – and at odds with the espoused
City aspiration that public spaces are suitable for all people regardless of ability.
The following attachments document the City-wide and neighborhood support for you voting to vacate
the Aldine Street right-of-way on June 8:
• Attachment 1 (page 2): The full statements of support.
• Attachment 2 (page 3): Maps illustrating the ~600 Roseville households in support of the City
Council voting to approve vacation of the Aldine Street right-of-way.

• Attachment 4 (page 13): Numbered list of the subset of ~85 supporter names in the
neighborhood bordered by Roselawn, Fairview, County Rd B, and Snelling. Many of these
neighbors signed last year’s “path petition” but changed their minds.
Please vote YES on June 8 to vacate the Aldine Street right-of-way.
Respectfully yours,
Melinda Erickson

Page 310 of 558Attachment 1 – Full statements of support to vacate the Aldine Street right-of-way.
General statement of support to vacate the Aldine Street right-of-way
I support the Roseville City Council approving the resident petition to vacate the Aldine
Street right-of-way.
There are about 50 established, beneficial trees in the right-of-way: white oak, bur oak,
silver maple, American elm, box elder, and others. This urban forest provides food, homes,
and shelter for dozens of species of insects, birds, and mammals, as well as shade to adjacent
yards and homes. Undeveloped, this area of urban forest could live decades to centuries longer.
Using the City’s own plans, processes, and criteria, this right-of-way segment is not needed for City transportation
purposes, and building any type of new, accessible shortcut would be expensive and environmentally damaging.
Building a new shortcut would divert funds away from City-wide amenities at a high environmental cost. In
contrast, vacating the right-of-way would “right-size” the City’s property management responsibilities, leave all
environmental benefits intact, and cost the City nothing more.
Please vote for fiscal and environmental responsibility by voting to vacate the right-of-way.
Neighborhood statement of support to vacate the Aldine Street right-of-way*
I support the Roseville City Council approving the resident petition to vacate the Aldine
Street right-of-way, a follow-up to the April 2025 City-initiated petition to vacate.
The City’s recent studies show that developing an accessible path in the right-of-way will
kill or risk killing most of the 50 established trees in the right-of-way. I live in the
neighborhood, and I am OK using the existing paths on Fairview or Snelling because I value
conserving these neighborhood trees more than I value the convenience that a new path may provide. I support the
City Council approving the petition to vacate the right-of-way to “right-size” the City’s property management
responsibilities, leave all environmental benefits intact, and cost the City nothing more.
Please put the Roseville Mission Statement of “...aspiring to be a community that prioritizes environmental
conservation…” into action. Vote for environmental conservation by voting to vacate Aldine Street right-of-way.
* Many of our neighborhood supporters also signed last year’s “path petition.” Neighbors changed their minds
after having misrepresentations corrected and the facts about monetary and environmental costs revealed.

Mayor Roe and Council members,
Thank you for directing City staff and others to spend time studying the Aldine Street right-of-way
(ROW) over the past 6 months. The survey of established trees and the rough elevation survey provide
certain details – but they omit many important factors. As you deliberate next steps in your decision-
making, please consider the surveys from the multi-dimensional perspective of tree locations, tree drip
lines locations (locations of the edges of the tree canopies), ground elevation and slope within tree drip
lines, tree species, tree ages and natural life spans, city fiscal priorities, and the broad environmental
benefits provided by established trees. Below are a few photos and other information to aid your
visualization and contemplation of the currently healthy urban forest in the ROW.
The tree survey tagged about 50 established, beneficial trees (excluding ash and Siberian elm): white
and bur oak (estimated ages 75–140 years), silver maple (27–70 years old), American elm (12–60 years
old), box elder (9–33 years old), and others. This patch of urban forest provides food, homes, and cover
for dozens of species of insects, birds, and mammals, as well as shade to adjacent yards and homes.
Undeveloped, this area of urban forest could live decades to centuries longer. White oak trees have a
natural life span of 500 to 600 years; bur oaks 200 to 400 years. Silver maples live 100 to 150 years,
while American elms can live 175 to 200 years. Even box elder trees live 60 to 75 years.
Oak trees are particularly valuable species within
Minnesota’s forest ecosystems. Oaks are also
particularly vulnerable to root damage and eventual
death from construction disturbances. Construction
disturbances can include compaction, cutting away
soil and roots, filling in soil or other material over
roots, and raising soil pH due to placement of high-pH
substances such as limestone gravel.
Protective fencing at each tree or group of trees’ drip
line is the ‘best practice’ for construction around
established trees. Root protection is especially
important around oaks. Figure 1 illustrates placement
of effective, protective drip line fencing in a Falcon
Heights construction site at Roselawn and Cleveland.
You can use your own eyes to test whether
constructing a new, accessible shortcut outside of
established tree drip lines is possible in the 30-foot-
wide Aldine Street ROW. Just take the 590-foot walk
from Ryan at the north end of the ROW, to Roselawn
at the south end, to run your own little experiment. Looking up, walk and try to find a continuous, end-
to-end route in the ROW that is outside of the canopies of the 14 oak trees (Figure 2); ignore the other
3 dozen established trees for your experiment.

Please Share Your Mayor Roe and Council members,
Comment, Question or I am a Roseville resident not previously engaged in the Aldine
Concern Street right-of-way matter, and this issue has been much
discussed with my neighbors and with residents on both sides
of this issue. Your decision on this matter affects the quality of
our community, the healthy ecosystem, and the tax burden on
the city as we are voting to approve another huge property tax
increase for schools, and we urge you to vote against any
funding of any new outside experts, and to deny any requests
to spend money on studying the destruction of mature tree
canopy, and to oppose the use of city tax funds to install some
kind of pathway that only a handful of residents desire.
• Spending money to build (or further study) a shortcut in the
Aldine Street right-of-way would divert funds away from City-
wide amenities, and while we are considering to vote in favor of
increasing taxes for school purposes, any move to waste
money on this pet project we see as undisciplined in the light of
our city’s budget needs and we may reconsider the way we
vote on that.
• Any plan to create a city owned and maintained shortcut here
will destroy healthy and beautiful trees that make our city great.
The area in question has dozens of established, beneficial
trees which we see out of our home, and which provide canopy
for animal life that makes our community a serene and peaceful
one. Building any type of accessible shortcut in a location that
was never in the parks priorities is wasteful, will kill and
damage an unknown number of these healthy trees, and
reduce the value of our houses.
• The shortcut through private property adjacent to the Aldine
Street right-of-way has been effectively closed since June.
Prior to the raising of this issue early in 2025, very few people
used this shortcut, and after this issue was raised we noticed a
big spike in shortcutters, which since June has trickled down to
very few people cutting through this property. Residents have
adjusted to the absence of the shortcut. Dogs are being
walked. People are exercising. Children are getting to school
safely. The parks department has not said this is a priority in an
Page 364 of 558 already tight budget, this right-of-way segment is not in theAttachment City 8
of Roseville Master Pathway Plan, and the Plan’s path spacing
goals are already met by the existing paths along Fairview and
Snelling. Please respect the City’s processes and plans,
safeguard dozens of mature trees, and direct the City’s limited
resources toward City-wide amenities by voting to vacate the
right-of-way.
Please vote for fiscal responsibility and environmental
preservation, and please stop any pursuit of investing precious
tax dollars to this shortcut. It would seem that voting to vacate
the right of way is a good way to just prevent this kind of waste
and to remove the liability to the city. In any event, spending
more city money on this local shortcut is just wasteful in light of
our parks priorities and our city’s fiscal position, and we most
strongly oppose any such wasteful spending of time and
resources.

Page 370 of 558At the end of the day, in my opinion, the former "path" was at best a "shortcut" used by a veryAttachment few 8
residents. Since the "path" turned out to be located on private property and was subsequently closed
by the property owners, nothing has changed. The children are still going to school (the bus stops at the
end of their driveway), children and adults are still safely visiting friends, and the dogs that usually went
to the field are still being taken there. The City has negotiated access to its infrastructure with the
private property owners as necessary as the infrastructure thought to be in the easement turned out to
be on private land.
As a resident and one who, for 40+ years, has had pruned, had fertilized, and have watered 2 of the
large oaks that in the easement, I cannot tell you how distressing it is to contemplate their potential
deminse as part of an effort to create an expensive, unsafe, and unnecessary "shortcut." To the issue of
the trees, I am also attaching a previous document, (e.g. Trees, arks,P and Pathways, 9/10/25) sent to
the Parks and Recreation Commission which indicates the tree protection zone (TPZ) for many of the
trees standing in the easement. In some cases, this protection zone exceeds the entire width of the
easement itself.
I hope the Council now feels they have now gathered sufficient information to evaluate the issue before
them and will support the request by the adjacent property owners to approve the vacation of the
Aldine Street easement.
Thank you,
Tam

Memorandum
TO: Roseville City Council
FROM: Tam McGehee
DATE: October 27, 2025
RE: Vacation of Aldine Easement
The Council has carefully executed its process of deliberation on the issue of the vacation of the
Aldine Street easement. The vacation was brought forward twice, both times supported
unanimously by all adjacent property owners and City staff. Both times the Council sought
additional information most recently from the Parks and Recreation Commission. During this
time several items became clear and were supported by substantial and careful work by staff and
commissioners.
This process seems to have made some things clear:
1. All contiguous property owners support and request the vacation of the easement (e,g.
letter from Ericksons, Mid Oaks Lane, dated October 2025).
2. The Parks and Recreation Commission does not appear interested in developing a non-
ADA compliant pathway.
3. The Parks and Recreation Commission is not interested in expending Park Dedication
Funds to develop a pathway or park on this easement.
4. An ADA compliant pathway requires 20 feet that is level and clear of impediments.
5. An ADA compliant pathway in this 30-foot easement would result in the loss of some
30+ mature trees, particularly oaks.
6. This 30-foot by 590-foot strip of land is not appropriate or necessary as a park.
7. A vast majority of the neighborhood does not want trees removed or threatened.
8. All data presented by residents (e.g., 9.15.2025 letter to Parks and Recreation
Commission) show that the “tree protection zone” for most of these mature trees exceeds
the 30-foot easement width, including trees on adjacent property.
9. This site is not on the City’s Pathway Master Plan. If placed on the Pathway Master Plan
and analyzed using the City’s pathways criteria, this site is at the lowest priority.
10. Since the existing pathway which is on private land has been closed, all activities in the
neighborhood have continued—children are getting to school, children are visiting their
friends, and dogs are being walked—and getting to the University Fields.
11. Returning this easement property by vacation spares all Roseville residents the
unnecessary expense and liability of either retaining or developing the easement.
12. All city utilities for water and sewer are located on private land, not the easement.
Access to this infrastructure has been negotiated with the private landowners.
This 30-foot easement is identified as “Aldine Street” in the 1938 Plat Map of Mid Oaks. There
is no Aldine Street nor space to construct a “street, lane, or avenue” in this 30-foot easement. It
appears that the easement’s specified purpose is no longer possible, hence the City staff correctly
recommended that the property be vacated and returned to the adjacent owners. This vacation is
therefore appropriate and would remove the City’s responsibility for and maintenance of the
easement.

Page 372 of 558 Attachment 8
MN Statute, 412.851 VACATION OF STREETS, 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. Vacation of a public way may be made upon a finding that it
appears in the public interest to do so. Among other things, the Council can consider public
benefit and conservation of natural resources.
A vacation of the Aldine Easement is overwhelmingly in the public interest and can be supported
by any or all of the following findings.
Public Interest:
1. The easement has no value to the public as a street, road, or alley, as discussed above.
2. Any marginal value of use of the easement as a pathway, if any, is vastly outweighed by
the public benefits of vacation:
A. Vacation saves taxpayers the considerable expense of constructing and maintaining an
acceptable pathway (even if possible without damaging adjacent owners).
B. Vacation frees resources for other pathway projects in the city of higher priority.
C. Vacation accepts and approves the unanimous request of contiguous property
owners.
D. Vacation frees the City of the maintenance and liability of the area.
E. Vacation makes the neighborhoods north of Ryan and those along the easement
more secure by the elimination of through-foot and non-motorized
vehicle traffic.
F. Vacation eliminates legal discussions and work to determine whether conversion to a
part or path is possible under MN Law.
G. Vacation conserves natural resources by:
i. The mature trees are and will continue to be a benefit to the entire community
as a wildlife corridor.
ii. The mature trees will continue to sequester carbon, clean the air, and reduce
noise in the neighborhood.
There has been more than enough study, research, review, evaluation, hearings, and
communication by all parties involved to determine that vacation of this easement is the best
decision in the public interest, legally, financially, and environmentally. All of this information is
part of the record before the City Council and strongly supports a determination that vacation of
the Aldine right-of-way is in the public interest.
I urge the City Council to vote to vacate the Aldine Street right-of-way under consideration.

RE: Aldine Vacation Information
I wanted to be sure that the Council had all the information that has been provided to the Parks
and Recreation Commission regarding the protection of the trees existing in the ROW. After
much testimony regarding the “magic” and “trees” along this ROW, it seems that protecting that
canopy and the trees that create it should be of primary consideration. To that end, I have
attached a memo that I sent to the Parks and Recreation Commission with its attendant
attachments.

If the City does not feel it already has enough credible evidence that construction of such an
ADA compliant path would likely damage and/or kill many of the mature trees in the 30’ ROW, I
urge you to hire an impartial expert who is not seeking further employment opportunities with
the City of Roseville. Dr. Lee Frelich is the best, and likely the least expensive, expert the city
could engage for this purpose. He is Director of the University of Minnesota Center for Forest
Ecology, is internationally known and respected as an expert, and provides much pro bono
information in our state. In fact, I heard Dr. Frelich speak for the local League of Women Voters
2 or 3 years ago, and he will be speaking to the Ramsey County Master Gardeners later this
month.
Apart from the tremendous loss of mature canopy, there are other considerations in this issue
such as number of individuals served, costs for construction (tree removal, grading), liability,
legal process for converting an ROW to a park, and ongoing maintenance of the pathway.
And, is this really a park?

Members of the Parks and Recreation Commission,
I wish to reinforce the information earlier provided by Dr. Mindy Erickson regarding protection
of the trees in the ROW. (Attachment 1) I have included a graphic comparison between
Cottontail Park which was discussed as a model for converting the Aldine ROW into a park for
the purpose of developing a path. (Attachment 3) Cottontail Park is very large relative to the
ROW and the path there is limestone and relatively level. The Cottontail Park path is located
over 50’ from the nearest residence, not 18 to 30 feet as it would be if a path were created in the
Aldine ROW.
As Dr. Erickson noted, the International Society for Arboriculture has provided guidelines and
best practices. With trees in the 30’ ROW identified it is possible to compute the Tree Protection
Zone (TPZ) for the trees using the book entitled Managing Trees during site Development and
Construction, Third Edition, published by the International Society of Arboriculture.
(Attachment 2) The book defines the tree protection zone (TPZ) as the “area within which certain
activities are prohibited or restricted to prevent or minimize potential injury to designated trees.
The size and shape of a TPZ should consider tree species’ response to construction impacts, size,
condition, and maturity….”.
The method of determining the TPZ used in the publication takes the diameter at breast height
(DBH) and multiplies by a factor between 6 and 18 based on the species’ construction tolerance
and the trees’ maturity. A chart for construction tolerance by species and a chart for maturity of
individual trees is provided in the publication. (pg.19) It is further recommended that “when the
minimum calculated TPZ is less than 5 ft in radius, a 5 ft radius should be recommended…”
(Attachment A) An example supplied states, “a mature tree with medium tolerance to
construction damage (a factor of 12) and a 30-inch trunk diameter would have a TPZ radius of
360 inches which is equal to 30 ft” (pg.18)—the entire width of the ROW.
Additional best management practices state that “if trees on adjacent properties have branches
and roots extending into the construction area, TPZs should be established on the project site
itself. Tree protection measures for trees on adjacent properties should be similar to those for on-
site trees.” (pg.20) It should be noted here that many of the adjacent properties contain large
oaks whose roots and branches extend well into if not across the ROW.
A group of trees, in a stand or where closely spaced, share root space and shelter each other from
wind. The best management practices for groups of trees suggests that “preserving a mix of tree
ages, species, and understory plants within a stand will conserve a natural assemblage and reduce
exposure to interior vegetation.” (pg.21)
Using the measurements and information created by the city and the best management practices
of the International Society of Arboriculture, one can compute a few of the TPZ for mature trees
Page 375 of 558 Attachment 8
along the ROW. Working with only the oaks which are known to have considerable issues with
soil disturbance, compaction, and change in grade, white being more susceptible than Burr, I
used Medium species tolerance for Mature Burr oaks (12) and Low species tolerance for Mature
White oak (15). (Chart pp19).

Near Roselawn, partial group
51 Burr Oak 26 26’
52 Burr Oak 25 25’
55 Burr Oak 20 20’
57 Burr Oak 23 23’
With the information compiled by the city departments of Parks and Recreation and Public
Works, it appears irrefutable that any attempt to install even a “dirt path” within the 30-foot
ROW would result in significant mortality among the large, mature oaks. Work of the type
necessary to level the grade would negatively impact and possibly kill oaks in the ROW and
possibly some on the adjacent private properties along Mid Oaks Lane. In addition, due to the
narrow dimensions of the ROW, any pathway would be much closer to residential homes than
the paths in Cottontail are to residential homes.
We appreciate thoroughness and the work done by the city to complete a survey of the ground, to
map the topography, and to identify the trees within the ROW. We hope the Commission will
support best management practices find that this area is unsuitable for either a park or a path.
Thank you,
Tam and Dick McGehee

` Dr. Mindy Erickson’s memo regarding the trees and their protection.
Hello Parks and Recreation Commission members,
As you continue your consideration of the five questions from the City Council about the Aldine
Street right-of-way (ROW), please consider, first and foremost, protection and preservation of
the many majestic oaks and other trees in and near the ROW. All stakeholder groups agree that
tree preservation is paramount.
Many of the established trees have a dripline diameter that exceeds 30 feet. The ROW is only 30
feet wide, so there are inherent limitations to following construction “best practices” in
proximity to these established trees. The International Society of Arboriculture and other
sources note key facts and best practices related to construction projects around established
trees:
1. A barrier or fence surrounding trees at the driplines is one of the most effective
damage- prevention measures during construction. A barrier at a tree’s dripline during
construction protects both the above-ground portion of the tree and the highly
sensitive root system.
2. Most established trees, including oaks, will not tolerate any appreciable disturbance of
the root system without showing some adverse effects. Few, if any, species, will
withstand extensive changes in aeration of soil around the root system without being
injured.
3. Reduced aeration of soil around the root system can suffocate tree roots. Reduced
aeration is caused by compaction of soil under trees due to movement of machinery,
trampling, piling construction materials, and purposeful mechanical compaction.
4. Fill to raise a grade causes many changes in soil aeration, drainage, and soil microflora.
Clay fill can result in reduced aeration, lower nitrogen, higher pH, and improper
drainage.
5. Cuts to lower a grade should position new retaining walls at or near tree driplines so
that the original depth of soil covering the root systems will be maintained. Removal of
large amounts of soil from the root system of an established tree will cause permanent
damage.
6. Most common shade tree species, including oaks, grow best in slightly acidic soil.
Limestone gravel is alkaline and can raise soil pH, making soil more alkaline. When soil
Page 377 of 558 Attachment 8
becomes too alkaline, it interferes with the tree's ability to absorb essential nutrients,
leading to nutrient deficiencies and increased vulnerability to other damaging stresses.
7. Construction-related tree injury increases vulnerability to drought, winter, disease, and
pests.
8. Invisible, irreparable tree injury may present itself only long after construction ends.
Environmental conservation is espoused in Roseville’s mission statement. All stakeholder groups
agree that preservation and protection of the oaks and other established trees in the ROW is a
predominant factor in decision-making. Please carefully weigh whether rerouting a shortcut
from private property to the ROW is “valuable” or “viable” on balance with endangering dozens
of established trees.
Construction damage can cause long, slow tree death years after project completion. Two
nearby City paths already exist, so is the risk of killing any to many of the established trees a
reasonable trade-off for a shortcut?
Thank you for your consideration of the majestic oaks and other trees in and around the ROW.

There are three maps created using the city’s GIS program showing the size of Cottontail
Park. This was the park used as an example of a park with unpaved walking paths. Map one
shows the relative size of the park, 270+ feet wide and 600-700 feet long. Substantially larger
than the Aldine ROW at 590 feet by 30 feet wide.
The second map shows graphically the difference between Cottontail Park and the ROW,
shown in red and drawn inside the map of the park.
The third map shows the closest residences to the park trails, 54.2 feet on one side and
97.9 feet on the other. The corner of the Aldine ROW is only 18 feet from the nearest home.

Mayor Roe and Roseville City Council members,
Since the City’s first formal consideration of vacating the Aldine Street right-of-way (ROW) in
April, much additional work has happened. Two City Departments drafted findings memos,
three surveys were completed by City staff, and six City Council or Park and Recreation
Commission meetings have considered or touched on the matter. It has been established that the
ROW was platted as “Aldine Street” in the 1938 Mid Oaks Plat, and that the road segment was
never built, and further that the City has no plan to ever build the road.
Public Works Director Jesse Freihammer’s June 10 path feasibility memo to the City Council
noted the following:
• This segment is not in the City of Roseville Master Pathway Plan (Plan).
• Plan path spacing goals and intent are met by existing paths along Fairview and Snelling.
• Using the Plan ranking criteria and process, the segment scored as a very low priority
within a list of ordered rankings of city-wide proposed paths.
• Constructing a path that meets Plan standards would likely destroy some of the 14 oaks
and 35 other established trees, and harm surviving trees.
• Preliminary cost estimates for path construction range up to $177,000 plus the costs for
creating a safe crossing at Roselawn as well as long-term maintenance of the path.
At its September 2 meeting the Park and Recreation Commission presented mixed messages
regarding its interest in and commitment to building a park or path in the ROW. While they
acknowledged that the ROW has some value for Recreation they also determined that the ROW
would serve only as a local shortcut rather than as a city-wide amenity and that its 30-foot by
590-foot dimensions and small size (0.4 acre) would preclude its function as a traditional park.
They reiterated that tree preservation is a top priority, and that building any type of accessible
shortcut will damage an unknow number of beneficial trees. And that funding for professional
arborist and engineering studies are needed to quantify environmental and monetary costs.
Finally, Park Commissioners concluded that potential ROW improvements would not merit use
of Park Dedication Fees. The ROW dimensions and size, limited geographic relevance and lack
of connection to a park or other defined public feature make it a low funding priority.
Evaluating the City’s own plans, processes, and priorities, this ROW segment is clearly poorly
suited to City transportation purposes. Building any type of accessible shortcut would be
expensive and environmentally damaging. Establishing a park is not strongly supported by the
Commission, as evidenced by reluctance to support Park Dedication Fees to fund a project.
Local residents have adjusted to the absence of the former shortcut, affirming that the Snelling
and Fairview paths meet neighborhood needs. People and dogs are walking along Roselawn and
elsewhere. Kids are getting safely to school. Socializing between neighborhoods continues.
We ask again that you respect the City’s processes and plans, safeguard dozens of mature trees,
and direct the City’s limited resources toward city-wide amenities rather than a shortcut that
would be a convenience to a very small proportion of Roseville’s 35,000 residents. Please vote
to vacate the Aldine Street right-of-way.
Thank you, Tim Brown and Melinda Erickson, -

Subject: Re: Other feasibility questions (cost, impact) for Aldine ROW path options
Rachel, sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Here are the responses from staff:
QUESTIONS
Use
1) Is it true that a path - either option - would be for pedestrians only? I did not see
reference to bike traffic in the study or proposed plans. At only 4 feet wide, the path is
well below the 10-feet needed for shared use by pedestrians and bikers, as noted in the
Roseville Bike Plan. With the turns, slight change in grade, and speed issues, there are
significant safety concerns for mixed use.
Although designed for walkers, at this time, the City would not restrict cyclists from
using the path. This pathway is actually wider than the required 3-feet for an ADA
mountain bike path.
Page 469 of 558 2) If no bikes are to be allowed, this may be surprising to people. How would the City
communicate a no biking restriction?
If such a restriction were needed, we would install signage. However, it is VERY unlikely
we would effectively and actively enforce it.
3) Given issues we have seen with people continuing to walk and bike (including dog-
powered and electric bikes) on the private land to west of the ROW, how would the City
enforce a no biking restriction?
We typically wouldn't proactively police this. As with any private property, residents are
able to install fencing or signage on their private property.
4) When and how would a path - either option - be closed for the snow/ice
season? Ice and snow are particularly concerning for the boardwalk option, given how
the wood would become very slippery. It has been mentioned before that City staff
would not plow or shovel a path in this area. Similar to the no biking question, how would
this be communicated and enforced?
Similar to natural trails elsewhere, the pathway would not be "closed" but would not be
maintained.
Initial Cost
5) How much would it cost to install a crosswalk at the south end, crossing
Roselawn? As noted in the study, Roselawn does have a high traffic level, even more so
at times like now when other construction projects (e.g., 280) divert traffic into our
neighborhood. Without that crosswalk, there are serious safety concerns.
About $5,500 which would include an ADA ramp on the south side of the street and
crosswalk blocks and signage. We have a similar crosswalk on Roselawn east of Snelling
at Simpson which has similar traffic volumes.
6) Given experience with other projects in Roseville, does City staff believe that the
cost estimate provided by TKDA is accurate for either option and if not, what are
their estimates? For example, the necessary construction method in the 30 foot space -
building the path from either end in in portions and then using each stretch of path to
build on to the next - seems particularly inefficient and seems likely to be more
expensive that the cost noted.
We believe the cost estimate is as accurate it can be at the stage. The final cost may be
more or may be less depending on a lot of variables such as scope change, pricing of
materials, unexpected delays, etc.
Page 470 of 558 Utility Issues
7) With a path, how would City staff or contractors access the power lines and other
poled utilities? This includes to periodically clear trees branches and brush. Would a
path - either option - allow for staff to access the space to do the needed work, without
damaging the trees further?
All trees in utility easements are at some risk of being damaged to maintain utilities. For
overhead utilities, we have limited ability to regulate trees in utility easement or right-of-
way if they are doing maintenance for example to trim trees to maintain clearance for the
power lines. Either pathway option will likely make the damage risk less as there will be
better access.
8) There is a 16.5 foot sewer easement, from the ROW west into properties at 1705
Roselawn and 1706 Ryan. But my understanding is that there was also to be sewer
easement to the east as well. If so, how would City staff or contractors access the
sewer if needed, particularly at the corner where all of the sewage that runs from all
the Roselawn houses from Fairview to the ROW turns north. Note that that critical
manhole seems to be very close to the boardwalk in the boardwalk path option.
Installing a pathway would not make utility work harder for the city. We would use our
easement machine in this area for routine maintenance. We have numerous
improvements in similar ROW’s or easements already such as fences, pathway and
retaining wall that we already work around. Depending on the type of work the pathway
could actually help prevent damage to trees by providing better access.
Maintenance
9) What would be the ongoing costs to maintain a path - either option - annually and
long term. This would include re-grading and resupplying the gravel and, for the
boardwalk option, ongoing patchwork maintenance and full replacement at the end of
its anticipated lifespan.
As with any City parcel, an active pathway would require somewhat greater attention
such as mowing and Natural Resources. In speaking with vendors, the boardwalk would
have a lifespan of 20 years (give or take), so I would estimate around $50,000 every 20
years, and annual maintenance (largely natural resource or repacking etc) of perhaps
$3,000-$7,000 annually.
10) What would be the plan and cost for tree maintenance in the space? With many
trees in danger of decline, there will be tree loss. Some trees when close to death may
be strategically removed. Others may fall, adding damage to nearby trees, structures,
and the path. How will City staff or contractor access those trees and the related
Page 471 of 558Page 472 of 558***
Mr. Trudgeon,
Thank you for providing access to the Aldine Street ROW Feasibility Study early enough for
people to review before the June 8 meeting.
While the study did address some of the questions about costs (e.g., cost estimates for two
path options, 5 year impacts on trees), there are still many that were not included.
I know you and City staff are busy with other work and there is not much time before
Monday.
But will you please provide answers to the questions below before or during the June 8
meeting?
Even if there is not time to get hard numbers for all the cost questions, I hope even the
questions themselves will help Council assess the extraordinary expense and impact of a
possible path before they make their decision on the ROW vacation petition.
Thank you.

REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
Date: 6/8/2026
Item No.: 7.e.
Department Approval City Manager Approval
Item Description: Consider Approval of Purchase Agreement with Roseville VFW Post
#7555 for a Portion of their Property
1
2 Background
3 The City and the Roseville VFW Post #7555 have been discussing the purchase of the
4 western portion of the VFW property for the use of the City as part of the Civic Campus
5 Master Plan improvements. The property purchased will be used for stormwater
6 management purposes related to the overall project and will eventually serve as shared
7 parking space for the City and VFW.
8
9 On May 19, 2026, VFW membership agreed to enter into a purchase agreement with
10 Roseville to sell the western 30,960 square feet of their property for the amount of
11 $400,000. The sale, as negotiated by the parties, was contingent on the following:
12 1. At no additional cost, the VFW will provide the City with a stormwater easement
13 covering the entire VFW parking lot.
14 2. The City will reconstruct the entire VFW parking lot due to the stormwater
15 infrastructure installation at its cost, including that portion remaining on the VFW
16 parcel, to include 150 overall parking spaces for joint use by the City and VFW
17 subject to the following conditions:
18 a. The existing 1990 joint use agreement will be terminated, and the VFW and
19 the City enter into a new joint use agreement for the parking lot that covers
20 the following items:
21 i. Identification of primary spaces to be used by the public for the License
22 and Passport Center, the City’s dance studio, and Veterans Park and
23 primary spaces for VFW patrons.
24 ii. Cross access easements to allow for parking and access related to the
25 License and Passport Center/Dance Studio, the Maintenance
26 Operations Center, and Veterans Park to occur on the VFW-owned
27 parking lot and for VFW-related parking to occur on the City-owned
28 parking lot.
29 iii. Inclusion of language in the agreement governing how disputes are
30 resolved, overflow parking is managed, and special event parking.
31 b. The new joint agreement will cover the reconstruction of the current parking
32 lot and maintenance of the future parking lot. Specifically, the agreement will

Page 475 of 55834 i. The responsibility of the City to construct the new parking lot at its own
35 cost
36 ii. The responsibility of the VFW to provide all necessary permissions and
37 approvals related to the construction of the new parking lot.
38 iii. A mutually agreed plan for temporary parking for the VFW during the
39 construction of the new parking lot.
40 iv. All ongoing (snow plowing, lighting and landscape maintenance),
41 short-term (pavement repairs, crack sealing, and pavement markings),
42 and long-term (milling and overlay and reconstruction) maintenance
43 costs are split equally between the City and the VFW.
44 3. As part of this purchase, the City, at its own cost, will subdivide the existing tax
45 parcel (03.29.23.44.0033) into two tax parcels (the city purchased land and the
46 remainder of existing VFW property).
47
48 With the approval of the purchase agreement, staff will work with the VFW in finalizing the
49 joint use agreement and documents necessary for closing on the property. Staff will bring
50 forward the joint use agreement for City Council approval at a later date.

53 Policy Objectives
54 The acquisition of a portion of the VFW property for the Civic Campus Master Plan
55 supports the City's Strategic Plan, specifically the goal to “Implement the civic master
56 plan on time, within budget, and with community input” under the Reliable and
57 Sustainable Infrastructure strategic direction. This purchase also aligns with the desired
58 impact that “Roseville’s assets and infrastructure are effectively, efficiently, and
59 sustainably planned, maaged, and funded.”
60
61
62 Equity Impact Summary
63 The acquisition of a portion of the VFW property supports greater access to City services
64 and facilities. Expanding the Civic Campus footprint enables the City to design public
65 spaces, programs, and facilities that are more accessible and responsive to the needs of all
66 residents. By consolidating civic functions in a centrally located area, the City can improve
67 service delivery, and ensure that future infrastructure investments benefit a broad and
68 diverse cross-section of the community.
69
70
71 Budget Implications
72 The City's bond counsel, Mary Ippel of Taft Law, has reviewed the reasons for the
73 purchase of the VFW property and its subsequent use and has determined that sales tax
74 funds can be used for the transaction, the installation of stormwater infrastructure, and
75 restoration of the property as follows:
76
77 1) The purchase of the portion of the VFW property can be fully funded with the use of the
78 local sales tax.
Page 2 of 3
Page 476 of 558 79
80 2) The installation of stormwater infrastructure to serve the overall project can partially be
81 funded by the local sales tax. Only stormwater infrastructure costs that serve the
82 Maintenance Operations Center can utilize local sales tax dollars. The exact breakdown of
83 revenue sources will need to be determined at a later date once the stormwater
84 infrastructure is fully designed.
85
86 3) The restoration of property disturbed by the stormwater infrastructure installation can be
87 fully funded by the local sales tax dollars as long as it is restored to its original state (park
88 and parking lot).
89
90 Based on that legal opinion, the $400,000 purchase cost will be covered by local sales
91 collected for the Maintenance Operations Center project. To date, the City has received
92 $4.1 million in local sales tax revenue since July 2025.
93
94 Staff Recommendations
95 Staff recommends the City Council approve the resolution authorizing the Mayor and City
96 Manager to enter into the purchase agreement with Roseville VFW Post #7555 for the
97 purchase of a portion of their parking lot.
98
99 Requested Council Action

Re: Maintenance Facility
Dear Pat:
The city is authorized pursuant to special legislation and voter approval to issue General
Obligation Sales Tax Revenue Bonds (the “Bonds”) to finance the construction of a new
maintenance facility. As set forth in your attached letter dated May 28, 2026, it is necessary for
the construction to occur that certain project costs, as described in the letter, be incurred by the
city so that the construction can take place.
Pursuant to the special legislation, the Bonds will be issued under Minnesota Statutes,
Chapter 475 which authorizes municipality to issue bonds for acquisition and betterment of
facilities, in this case the maintenance facility. Chapter 475 defines “acquisition” to include
purchase, condemnation, construction, and acquisition of necessary land, easements, buildings,
structures, machinery or equipment and “betterment” to include reconstruction, extension,
improvement, repair, remodeling, lighting, equipping and furnishing. All of the costs referenced in
your letter constitute acquisition and betterment costs.
You have asked certain questions in your letter. In regard to question 1, because the
acquisition of the portion of the VFW parking lot is necessary for the installation of the stormwater
management utility required for the maintenance facility it can be financed by the Bonds.
In regard to question 2, the stormwater management utility will be sized to accommodate
the maintenance facility and also the License Passport Center and Dance Studio (the “license
facility”) proposed to be constructed by the city on an adjacent site. The city will need to allocate
the stormwater maintenance costs related to each facility. The portion of the stormwater
management that is attributable to the maintenance facility can be financed by the Bonds.

Page 2
Additional capacity added to the stormwater management utility related to the license facility
cannot be financed by the Bonds as the city’s authority to issue the Bonds only relates to the
maintenance facility.
In regard to question 3, the costs of restoring the parking lot, both on city owned land and
on land owned by the VFW can be financed by the Bonds. The restoration of the VFW parking lot
is a condition of the sale of the land and would be considered an acquisition cost of the land. The
restoration of the city owned land can be financed by the bonds because it is a reconstruction
cost caused by the construction of the maintenance facility.
In regard to question 4, the cost of restoring Veterans Park from the damage caused by
the installation of stormwater management and staging for the maintenance facility can be
financed by the Bonds because it is a reconstruction cost caused by the construction of the
maintenance facility. If the city as a part of the reconstruction of Veterans Park determined to add
additional facilities that were not a part of the park prior to the damage to the park, such additional
facilities would not be considered a reconstruction cost and could not be financed by the Bonds.
If you have additional questions, please contact me.
Sincerely,
Taft Stettinius & Hollister LLP

If Buyer timely notifies Seller of Objections, Seller will use Seller’s best efforts to cure

condition of the Property, including, but not limited to, land surveys, wetland delineations, ecological
surveys, archeological surveys and testing, Phase I and II environmental assessments, limited site
investigations and geotechnical investigations (collectively, “Inspections”). Seller agrees to cooperate in
answering questions about the Property as necessary to complete the Inspections. Buyer agrees to
indemnify Seller for damages caused by Buyer’s Inspections. Buyer agrees to reasonably repair damage to
the Property caused by the Inspections and to return the Property to substantially the same condition as
existed prior to Buyer’s Inspections. These obligations of Buyer shall not be construed to require Buyer to
perform any removal or remediation of any hazardous substances revealed by Buyer’s actions nor fix any
damage caused by Seller. The terms of this Section 6 shall survive expiration or any termination of this
Agreement, provided that Buyer’s obligations herein shall be limited to those conditions which existed
upon the date of such termination or expiration of this Agreement.
7. Buyer’s Contingencies. In addition to satisfaction with title and survey in accordance with
Section 5, Buyer’s obligations in this Agreement are contingent upon Buyer’s satisfaction or waiver of each

15 Equity Impact Summary
16 Local governments play an important role in building racially equitable and inclusive regional economies.
17 Payments to vendors contribute to the local economy by supporting businesses within the community,
18 including those owned by people of color. Ensuring equitable distribution of contracts and payments
19 among vendors, particularly minority-owned businesses, can help promote economic equity. This
20 supports the broader goals of reducing racial economic disparities as well as Roseville's aspiration to
21 have a community that is economically prosperous with a stable and broad tax base and vibrant small
22 businesses.

REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
Date: 6/8/2026
Item No.: 10.b.
Department Approval City Manager Approval
Item Description: Approve General Purchases Exceeding $10,000 or Sale of Surplus
Items
1
2 Background
3 City Code section 103.05 establishes the requirement that all general purchases or contracts in excess
4 of $10,000 be separately approved by the City Council, independent of the budget process or other
5 statutory purchasing requirements. In addition, State Statutes generally require the Council to authorize
6 the sale of surplus vehicles and equipment. Attachment 1 includes a list of items submitted for Council
7 review and approval.
8
9 Staff will note that, unless noted otherwise, all items contained in this report were previously identified
10 and included in the adopted budget or Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) submitted for Council review
11 during the most recent budget cycle. This information package included a CIP Project/Initiative summary
12 which identified the type of purchase, estimated cost, funding source, and other supporting narrative.
13 Where applicable, these project/initiative summaries are included with Attachment 2.
14
15
16 Policy Objectives
17 Required under City Code 103.05.
18
19
20 Equity Impact Summary
21 Payments to vendors contribute to the local economy by supporting businesses within the community,
22 including those owned by people of color. Ensuring equitable distribution of contracts and payments
23 among vendors, particularly minority-owned businesses, can help promote economic equity. This
24 supports broader goals of reducing racial economic disparities as well as Roseville's aspiration to be a
25 community that is economically prosperous with a stable and broad tax base and vibrant small
26 businesses.
27
28
29 Budget Implications
30 Funding for all items is provided for in the current budget or through pre-funded capital replacement
31 funds.
32
33
34 Staff Recommendations
35 Staff recommends the City Council approve the submitted purchases or contracts for service and, where
36 applicable, authorize the sale/trade-in of surplus items.

Key
Sir-Lines-A-Lot was the only contractor of four to respond to the City's RFQ with a quote to paint 267,538 LF of streets as
part of the 2026 Annual Contractual Pavement Painting. This is part of the 2026 operating budget in the streets department
(a)
which budgeted $25,000 for centerline painting. The request is overbudget due to lack of bids and rising costs. There is an
additional $5,000 in the budget for pavement contractors which will be used to help cover the additional costs.
This request is for the purchase of 38 new squad computers to replace the current 30 aging units. The Police Department
maintains a scheduled technology replacement program to ensure staff have secure, reliable, and efficient equipment
necessary to support operations and public service. 30 of the 32 current units were purchased in 2020 and have reached
their maximum life. Due to the increase in staffing over the last 5 years, 8 additional computers will be purchased to bring
(b)
the total to 40. The cost will be $134,672 for the 38 replacements. This is part of the 2026 CIP budget where there is
$150,000 budgeted. The remaining budget will be used for 8 additional IT management licenses needed at $1,100 per
license. There will also be additional expenses for extra computer mounts. The total will fall just below the budgeted
$150,000 amount.

Item No.: 10.e.
Department Approval City Manager Approval
Item Description: Approve Agreement with the Minnesota Department of Public Safety
for 2026 Pathways to Policing Grant Funds
1
2 Background
3 For many years, the Roseville Police Department (RPD) has taken proactive measures to recruit, hire,
4 and retain highly qualified candidates. As part of this effort, RPD works to broaden its applicant pool and
5 reduce barriers to entry into the profession, recognizing that attracting candidates from non-traditional
6 backgrounds continues to be a challenge. The department values candidates who bring a wide range of
7 life experiences, skills, and perspectives that strengthen service delivery and enhance connections with
8 the community.
9 Since 2019, the Roseville City Council has authorized RPD to apply for and accept funding through the
10 Minnesota Department of Public Safety’s Pathways to Policing Program. Over multiple grant cycles,
11 RPD has successfully secured and utilized Pathways funding to reduce financial barriers for aspiring
12 officers. These funds have supported tuition, books, equipment, and educational expenses for
13 Community Service Officers (part-time) and Cadet Officers (full-time) pursuing Minnesota Peace Officer
14 licensure.
15 On March 16, 2026, the City Council authorized RPD to apply for additional Pathways to Policing grant
16 funding for the 2026–2027 grant cycle. RPD has now been awarded $50,000 through the Minnesota
17 Department of Public Safety Pathways to Policing Program for the grant period beginning in summer
18 2026 through June 30, 2027.
19 The awarded funds will support two candidates at up to $25,000 each to assist with tuition, salary,
20 equipment, fringe benefits, and other educational expenses associated with completing the Skills
21 program and becoming eligible for Minnesota POST licensure as a peace officer.
22 Recruitment and retention continue to be significant challenges for law enforcement agencies
23 nationwide. Attracting candidates into the profession, particularly individuals from non-traditional
24 backgrounds, remains increasingly difficult. The Pathways to Policing program helps offset financial
25 barriers and supports the development of qualified future officers.
26 By maintaining access to Pathways funding, RPD can continue supporting CSOs and Cadets in
27 achieving licensure and transitioning into full-time sworn positions. In addition to investing in current
28 employees, the availability of tuition and educational assistance serves as a valuable recruitment tool for
29 the CSO and Cadet programs, which are critical components of the department’s long-term hiring
30 strategy. Like many law enforcement agencies, RPD has experienced ongoing challenges not only in
31 hiring licensed officers, but also in recruiting qualified candidates for CSO and Cadet roles. Offering
32 educational support through the Pathways program enhances the competitiveness of these positions,
33 particularly for candidates who may face financial barriers to pursuing a law enforcement career.
34 Strengthening this pipeline helps ensure a sustainable, high-quality applicant pool for future sworn
35 vacancies.

37
38
39 Policy Objectives
40 Acceptance of the Pathways to Policing grant funds supports the City’s strategic priorities related to both
41 Responsive Services and Safety and City Operations. This grant aligns with the Responsive Services
42 and Safety strategic priority to develop and implement a prioritized multi-year resource allocation
43 strategy and structure to ensure people, resources, training, and technology are in place to respond to
44 the needs of the community. One of the identified success indicators within this strategic priority is that
45 grant funding contributes to improved resources and organizational capacity. The Pathways to Policing
46 grant directly supports this objective by helping fund the recruitment, development, and training of future
47 police officers while strengthening the department’s long-term staffing pipeline.
48 The grant opportunity also advances the City Operations strategic goal that the City attracts and retains
49 a diverse and innovative group of employees who support the mission, vision, and values of the strategic
50 plan. By reducing financial barriers associated with peace officer education and supporting internal
51 career pathways for Community Service Officers and Cadets, the City enhances recruitment and
52 retention efforts while building a sustainable workforce prepared to meet the evolving needs of the
53 community.
54
55
56 Equity Impact Summary
57 The Pathways to Policing program promotes equity by addressing financial barriers that can limit access
58 to careers in law enforcement. The cost of peace officer education, including tuition, books, equipment,
59 and training expenses, can present significant obstacles to entry into the profession.
60 By providing educational and employment-related support to Community Service Officers and Cadet
61 Officers, RPD creates meaningful opportunities for individuals who may not otherwise be able to pursue
62 licensure. This program helps cultivate a workforce that reflects a broad range of experiences and
63 perspectives representative of the community.
64 Increasing representation and expanding access to the profession strengthens cultural competency,
65 enhances relationships with diverse populations, and improves the department’s ability to deliver fair,
66 inclusive, and responsive public safety services.
67
68
69 Budget Implications
70 The Minnesota Department of Public Safety awarded RPD $50,000 in Pathways to Policing grant
71 funding for the period beginning in summer 2026 through June 30, 2027.
72 The grant will fund two candidates at up to $25,000 each for tuition, salary, equipment, fringe benefits,
73 and related educational expenses associated with completing the Skills program and obtaining
74 Minnesota POST eligibility.
75 A one-to-one local match is required. The required match is already incorporated into the Police
76 Department’s adopted budget through existing Cadet and Community Service Officer salaries, tuition
77 reimbursement allocations, and training expenditures. As a result, there is no additional budgetary
78 impact to the City.

REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
Date: 6/8/2026
Item No.: 10.f.
Department Approval City Manager Approval
Item Description: Approve Agreement with Department of Public Safety for Funding
through the 2027-2029 Auto Theft Prevention Program
1
2 Background
3 On February 23, 2026, the City Council authorized the Roseville Police Department (RPD) to apply for
4 grant funding through the Minnesota Automobile Theft Prevention Program administered by the
5 Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. The program provides funding to support prevention,
6 investigation, response, and prosecution efforts related to automobile theft and associated crimes.
7
8 RPD was recently notified that it was awarded the maximum available funding amount of $309,000 over
9 a three-year period for continuation of the department’s dedicated auto theft investigator position. The
10 grant period runs from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2029, and provides reimbursement of up to
11 $100,000 annually toward salary and fringe benefits, along with up to $3,000 annually for training
12 expenses. The program is highly competitive, and of the agencies statewide that qualified to apply
13 based on auto theft-related statistics, only 13 investigator positions were funded.
14
15 Since 2021, RPD has utilized this funding to maintain an embedded Community Action Team (CAT)
16 investigator dedicated exclusively to auto theft and auto-related crimes. In addition to investigating stolen
17 vehicle cases and recovering stolen vehicles, the investigator handles related crimes including catalytic
18 converter thefts, identity theft and fraud involving vehicle dealerships and repair shops, and
19 sophisticated organized groups involved in “re-VIN’ing” vehicles and bypassing electronic ignition
20 systems.
21
22 The position has also strengthened regional coordination and intelligence sharing with neighboring
23 jurisdictions and statewide partners. As a first-ring suburb located between Minneapolis and St. Paul,
24 Roseville frequently experiences criminal activity that quickly crosses city boundaries. The dedicated
25 investigator has helped ensure proactive collaboration with other agencies, allowing RPD to identify
26 crime trends, pursue organized offenders, and prevent Roseville from becoming a gap in metro-area
27 enforcement efforts. These collaborative efforts have contributed to reductions in auto thefts and related
28 crimes across the region.
29
30 RPD has experienced declines in motor vehicle thefts in recent years. Similar decreases have also
31 occurred in other auto-related crimes, including catalytic converter thefts. While multiple factors have
32 likely contributed to these reductions, the proactive and collaborative work of the dedicated auto theft
33 investigator has played an important role through focused investigations, public education, intelligence
34 sharing, offender identification, and coordinated enforcement efforts.

2025 83 2 56
41 Without a dedicated investigator assigned to these cases, many auto theft and related offenses would
42 be difficult to investigate due to the existing caseloads carried by other detectives. The position allows
43 RPD to prioritize investigative follow-up, pursue leads that may otherwise go unaddressed, support
44 victims, coordinate with prosecutors, recover stolen vehicles, and disrupt organized criminal activity
45 impacting Roseville and surrounding communities.
46
47 Acceptance of this grant will allow RPD to continue the existing grant-funded CAT auto theft investigator
48 position for an additional three years. The current grant expires June 30, 2026, and this funding would
49 extend the position through June 30, 2029. This does not create a new position, but instead sustains an
50 established and effective investigative resource that has become an important component of RPD’s
51 regional crime reduction efforts.
52
53 The grant agreement has been reviewed by the City Attorney.
54
55 Policy Objectives
56 Acceptance of the Minnesota Automobile Theft Prevention Program grant directly aligns with the City’s
57 Responsive Services and Safety strategic goal and supports the desired impact of ensuring services
58 remain responsive to ongoing needs, keeping the community safe and secure, and positively impacting
59 residents’ quality of life.
60 Continuation of the dedicated auto theft investigator position helps ensure the resources are in place to
61 effectively respond to evolving crime trends and community needs. This proactive approach strengthens
62 RPD’s ability to prevent crime, support victims, and enhance overall public safety while demonstrating
63 responsible stewardship through the use of external funding opportunities.
64
65 This grant also aligns with the City’s success indicator of pursuing and obtaining grants and other
66 outside funding sources to enhance services and improve public safety resources. By securing
67 competitive state grant funding, RPD is able to sustain critical investigative capabilities and regional
68 partnerships without creating additional financial burden on the City’s general fund.
69
70
71 Equity Impact Summary
72 Automobile theft affects community members across all demographics; however, the impacts can be
73 especially significant for historically disadvantaged populations who may face greater barriers to
74 recovery after a loss. Reliable transportation is often essential for maintaining employment, accessing
75 healthcare, attending school, securing childcare, and meeting daily needs. When a vehicle is stolen, the

77 stress.

86 Budget Implications
87 The grant award totals $309,000 over three years, providing reimbursement of up to $103,000 annually,
88 including up to $100,000 per year toward salary and fringe benefits and up to $3,000 per year for
89 training expenses.
90 As in prior years, any salary or benefit expenses exceeding the annual grant amount would be the
91 responsibility of the City. The Police Department’s operating budget can absorb costs above the grant
92 amount for the second half of 2026. Any additional expenses for future years would be incorporated into
93 the department’s annual operating budget requests.
94 There is no obligation for the City to continue funding the position following the expiration of the grant.

2 Background
3 Chapter 313 of City Code requires the licensing of non-owner-occupied short term rentals of dwelling
4 units, subject to certain exemptions. On May 26, 2026, an application for the renewal of a short term
5 rental license was submitted by the property owner (Attachment 1). The property is a four-bedroom,
6 single family home. The property owner has certified and attested to the requirement of lodging tax
7 payment, as well as the maximum occupancy of four or less unrelated adults or one family. City records
8 indicate there have been no nuisance or property maintenance violations during the last license
9 period. The original short-term rental license for 1885 Shady Beach Avenue was issued on June 22,
10 2021. Short term rental licenses include the requirement of minimum stays based on on-season (10
11 days) and off-season (7 days) times of the year.
12
13 Upon issuance, the license will be valid for 365 days and will require notification to residential properties
14 within 300 feet of the subject property. If approved, this property will be one of ten properties with a
15 current short term rental license. A copy of the license must be posted in the rental unit, along with
16 copies of City Code Sections 404, 405 and 602. A draft of the license is provided as Attachment 2.
17
18 The applicant has supplied all required license information and paid the license fee of $540.00. In
19 accordance with Section 313.03, the process for licensure is outlined in Chapter 301, which requires
20 presentation to the City Council. Based upon the requirements outlined in the ordinance, the property
21 owner is entitled to the license.
22
23 Policy Objectives

25 February 12, 2024. The purpose of the license is to ensure that non-owner-occupied short-term rentals
26 of dwelling units is conducted, operated, and maintained so as not to become a nuisance to the
27 surrounding neighborhood or an influence that fosters blight and deterioration or creates a disincentive
28 to reinvest in the community. The operation of a short-term rental property is a business enterprise that
29 entails responsibilities required of the owner, local agent, and guests.
