PLANNING REPORT
TO: Little Canada Planning Commission
FROM: Dan Sjordal /Stephen Grittman
DATE: 8 April 1996
RE: Little Canada - Regnier Garage Conditional Use Permit
FILE NO: 758.09 - 96.09
BACKGROUND
Mr. David J. Regnier has submitted an application for a conditional use permit to allow the
construction of an additional garage building at 2947 Centerville road. The property
currently has a single family home, and a two car, detached garage. The new garage
would be located behind the house, to the north of the existing garage. Interstate 35E
borders the property to the west, Centerville Road to the east, the Valentos property to the
north, and the Frattalone property to the south. The applicant wishes to build the garage
for storage of motor vehicles, boat and maintenance equipment. The property is zoned
R -1, Single Family Residential.
ANALYSIS
The conditional use permit is required for two reasons. Under the current Ordinance,
single family homes are permitted a maximum of one garage structure (regardless of size)
and no more than 1,000 square feet of accessory building. This proposal would establish
a second garage structure and result in exceeding the 1,000 square feet of garage space
by 300 square feet. The City of Little Canada has traditionally allowed accessory buildings
as a conditional use between 1,000 to 1,500 square feet in size.
If the new garage were attached to the existing garage, the garage buildings would be
considered one garage structure and a conditional use permit would be required only for
size.
5775 Wayzata Blvd,- Suite 555 • St. Louis Park, MN 55416 • (612) 595- 9636•Fax. 595 -9837
Page 3
It is not clear from the application why this option is not being pursued. However, due to
the size of the lot, the proximity of I -35E, and the surrounding land uses, this building
should not have a negative impact.
The Zoning Ordinance lists the following criteria to be considered when reviewing a
conditional use permit request:
Consistency with the City's Land Use Plan.
Compatibility with current and future land uses in the area.
• Conformance with all performance standards.
• No depreciation of property values.
• Ability of the use to be accommodated at existing levels of public services.
The proposed building easily meets all setback requirements, and should add to the value
of the existing property. Finally, there is no impact on City services, since the use of the
property would remain residential.
CONCLUSION
The proposed conditional use permit appears to meet the intent of the Ordinance in regard
to preserving and enhancing the long term residential use of this property. We would
recommend approval of the conditional use permit subject to the following conditions which
are designed to assure this intent:
1. Any replacement of the existing garage with another garage is required to meet R -1
District requirements and setbacks.
2. The buildings are utilized exclusively for residential and storage uses, with no
commercial use permitted.

MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING
PLANNING COMMISSION
LITTLE CANADA, MINNESOTA
MAY 9, 1996
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof a regular
meeting of the Planning Commission of the City of
Little Canada, Minnesota was held on the 9th day of
May, 1996 in the Council Chambers of the City Center
located at 515 Little Canada Road in said City.
Chairman Gene DeLonais called the meeting to order at
7:30 P.M. and the following members of the Commission
were present at roll call:
MEMBERS PRESENT: Mr. Gene DeLonais
Mr. Scott Barraclough
Mr. Dennis Carson
Mr. John Keis
Mr. Dan Knudsen
Mr. Rick Montour
MEMBERS ABSENT:
Mr. Fred Schletty
ALSO PRESENT: Mr. Scott Richards, City Planner
Mrs. Kathy Glanzer, Admin. Asst.
There being no corrections to the minutes of the April
11, 1996 Regular Planning Commission, the minutes stood
approved as submitted.
Mr. David Regnier, 2947 Centerville Road, appeared
the Commission requesting approval of a Conditional
Use Permit to construct an accessory building on
his property, bringing his total accessory building
area over 1,000 square feet. Regnier reported that the
garage he would like to build would be 28 feet by 30
feet, and would be used to house his two vehicles, two
snowmobiles and a boat. Regnier reported that his
existing garage has a low ceiling and a 7 -foot door and
he cannot get his 1 -ton truck nor 4 X 4 vehicle into
the garage.
There was no one present from the general public
wishing to comment on this matter.
Keis asked if the second garage would be used for
storage purposes rather than put to an industrial use.

MINUTES
PLANNING COMMISSION
MAY 9, 1996
Regnier replied that the second garage would be used to
store his personal belongings.
The Planner noted that if the second garage structure
were combined with the existing garage, the CUP would
be necessary only for size. However, given that the
existing garage does not have enough clearance, the
additional space probably needs to be a separate
structure.
Keis pointed out that the proposal is within the range
of square footage the City has approved in the past.
Montour asked the height proposed for the garage.
Regnier reported that he is proposing a 10 -foot ceiling
and an 8 -foot garage door.
The Planner pointed out that the City's height
limitation is 15 -feet to the mid -point of the roof peak
if the structure has a gable roof. The Planner also
pointed out that there must be a minimum separation of
6 feet between the two accessory buildings.
Carson recommended approval of the Conditional Use
Permit for a second accessory building resulting in
total accessory space in excess of 1,000 square feet as
requested by Mr. David Regnier for property located at
2947 Centerville Road subject to compliance with the
recommendations of the City Planner as outlined in his
report dated April 8, 1996, and subject to the
accessory structure meeting all building code
requirements.
Motion seconded by Knudsen.
Motion carried 6 - 0.
PRELIMINARY Mr. Ken Gust appeared before the Commission requesting
PLAT - preliminary plat approval of Stoneridge Addition, a
STONERIDGE single - family development consisting of nine lots.
ADDITION Gust reported that a wetland delineation has been
prepared. That delineation has been reviewed and
accepted by the Watershed.
The Planner pointed out that the preliminary plat was
before the Commission earlier this year. At that time,

PLANNING REPORT
TO: Little Canada Planning Commission
FROM: Cary Teague
DATE: 2 February 1996
RE: Little Canada - Stoneridge Preliminary Plat
FILE NO: 758.09 - 96.01
BACKGROUND
Royal Crest Homes is requesting preliminary plat approval for Stoneridge, a nine lot single
family residential development in the northeast corner of the City. The subject property
is located within the R -1, Single Family Residential Zoning District. The western portion
of the subject property (Lots 1 -3) is property that was previously platted as an Outlot for
the Aspen Grove Subdivision, developed in the late 1980's. This area is heavily wooded,
contains a wetland, and a 30 foot wide drainage and utility easement along the western
property line.
The applicant is also requesting a one (1) foot road right -of -way width variance at the
opening of Stoneridge Court (the cul -de -sac which will serve the proposed lots). The
variance is necessary due to an existing garage located on the proposed right -of -way,
north of proposed Lot 9. This is the only location in which roadway access is available to
the site.
Attached for reference are the following exhibits:
Exhibit A - Site Location
Exhibit B - Preliminary Plat
Exhibit C - Grading & Drainage Plan
Exhibit D - Utility Plan
ANALYSIS
Lot Sizes. In the R -1 district, the minimum lot area requirement is 10,000 square feet for
interior lots and 11,000 square feet for corner lots. The one corner lot within the proposed
5775 Wayzata Blvd. • Suite 555 • St. Louis Park, MN 55416 • (612) 595- 9636•Fax. 595 -9837
Page 13
subdivision exceed 11,000 square feet, and the interior lots all exceed 10,000 square feet,
therefore, all proposed lots exceed the requirement.
Lot Width. In the R -1 district, the minimum lot width requirement for interior lots is 75
feet, and 80 feet for corner lots. Lot widths are measured at the property setback line,
rather than at the front property line. The one corner lot exceeds 80 feet in width and all
interior lots are at least 75 feet wide, therefore, all of the proposed lots meet or exceed the
requirement.
Streets /right -of -way width variance. All nine of the proposed lots are clustered around
a new cul -de -sac street which extends south from County Road D. The proposed cul -de-
sac is forty -nine (49) feet wide at the opening, therefore, does not meet the City's minimum
right -of -way width requirement of fifty (50) feet for local residential streets, therefore, a one
(1) foot right -of -way width variance is necessary.
In considering all requests for a variance and in taking subsequent action, the City staff,
the Planning Commission, and the City Council serving as the Board of Adjustment and
Appeals shall make a finding of fact that the proposed action will not:
a. Impair and adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property.
b. Unreasonably increase the congestion in the public street.
c. Increase the danger of fire or endanger the public safety.
d. Unreasonably diminish or impair established property values within the neighborhood, or in any way
be contrary to the intent of this Ordinance.
e. Violate the intent and purpose of the City Comprehensive Plan.
The request to plat the right -of -way at a width one (1) foot less than the City requirement
at the opening of the proposed Stone ridge Court, will not have any negative effect on the
above. Also, the requested forty -nine foot right -of -way, will not effect the width of the
paved surface of Stoneridge Court.
The special conditions or circumstances which require the requested variance, are due to
the existence of an existing garage (not located on the subject property), located north of
proposed Lot 9, which is to be located on the proposed right -of -way line. Also, this is an
existing condition, as this lot was platted with this 49 foot wide opening to provide access
to the subject property. This is the only area on the subject site in which roadway access
available to the property, therefore, if the City were to deny the variance, the property
could not be subdivided, as no alternative roadway access point exists. In this instance
a one (1) foot right -of -way width variance is justified.
The street design and layout shall be subject to review and approval of the City Engineer.
Access to County Road D. Proposed Stoneridge Court is to be constructed off of
County Road D. Therefore, construction of the roadway is subject approval of Ramsey
County. In all likelihood, the County will raise issue with the close proximity of the
2
Page 14
driveway access to County Road for the home located north of Lot 9. Therefore, this
home should gain access off proposed Stoneridge Court, rather than County Road D.
As such the developer should negotiate with this property owner to provide access for this
lot via Stoneridge Court, rather than County Road D.
Setbacks. As shown on the proposed grading and drainage plan, all of the proposed
building pads meet the required setbacks for the R -1, Single Family Residential District.
The developers are cautioned that variances for setbacks resulting from the constraints
of the lots are not likely to be considered favorably. The table below, indicated the City's
minimum setback requirements within the R -1 zoning district.
Required R -1 Setbacks
Front Yard
Side Yard
Rear Yard
30 Feet
10 Feet

Grading & Drainage. The developer has submitted a detailed grading and drainage plan
which includes a holding pond in the southern portion of the site between Lots 3 and 4.
All of the grading and drainage issues must be reviewed and approved by the City
Engineer and the Watershed District for compliance to local and Watershed regulations.
Wetland De lineation. The developer has indicated on the Preliminary Plat that the
wetlands have not been delineated. Because there appears to be a large wetland in the
southwest corner of the proposed development, the exact location of the wetland may
effect the buildability of Lots 1 -3. Therefore, as a condition of approval, the wetlands must
be professionally delineated. Wetland delineation and any wetland mitigation that may
be required, must be reviewed and approved by the City Engineer and the Watershed
District for compliance to local and Watershed regulations.
If the wetland is significantly larger than that which is indicated on the Preliminary Plat, and
the buildability of one of the lots is questionable, the applicant may be required to submit
a revised Preliminary Plat.
Utilities. Sanitary sewer is available via County Road D and will extended down
proposed Stone ridge Court. Water is available from both County Road D and Labore
Road. Said Utility Plan is subject to review and approval of the City Engineer.
Easements. The applicant has provided for easement along all lot lines, wetlands and
drainageways. Also, an existing thirty (30) foot wide drainage and utility easement,
dedicated as part of the Aspen Grove subdivision, is located along the western property
line, and shall remain as part of this plat. The location and sizing of all easements shall
be subject to review and approval of the City Engineer.
Park Dedication. Lots 1 -3, were previously platted as an Outlot within the Aspen Grove
3
Page 15
subdivision, intended for parks. The applicant is negotiating with the City to purchase this
land for development of Lots 1 -3, therefore, the proposed subdivision shall be contingent
upon the sale of this property. The plat drawing shows park dedication to be made in the
southern area of the plat under the NSP easement, including a portion of wetland. The
Park Commission should review and comment on the land dedication proposal.
RECOMMENDATION
Based on the following review, our office recommends approval of the Stoneridge
preliminary plat, and the one (1) foot roadway right -of -way width variance. Said approval
is subject to the following conditions:
1. Preliminary Plat approval is contingent upon sale of the City owned property to the
applicant.
2. The grading and drainage plan is subject to review and approval of the City
Engineer.
3. All wetlands must be professionally delineated. Wetland delineation and any
wetland mitigation that may be required, must be reviewed and approved by the
City Engineer and the Watershed District for compliance to local and Watershed
regulations.
4. Should the wetland delineation determine that the buildability of any of the
proposed lots are questioned, the applicant must submit a revised Preliminary Plat.
5. The location and sizing of all easements shall be subject to review and approval of
the City Engineer.
6. The utility plan is subject to review and approval by the City Engineer.
7. The developer must obtain approval from Ramsey County to construct Stoneridge
Court off of County Road D. As part of that process, the developer shall negotiate
with the lot owner north of proposed Lot 9 to provide access to Stoneridge Court
rather than the existing County Road D access.
8. The design of the proposed Stoneridge cul -de -sac shall be subject to review and
approval of the City Engineer.
9. Park Dedication shall be reviewed by the Little Canada Park Commission.

Dear Mr. Ashby:
I have reviewed the wetland delineation that EnviroData performed on April I7th. The wetland
delineation appears to be accurate and the Watershed District will accept this delineation.
The Watershed District will review the grading and erosion control plans for this project and will
have comments for you and your engineer as soon as possible. We hope to get this project an the
agenda for the Watershed District's June Board meeting.
Please contact me at 777 -3665 if you have any questions .
Sincerely,

WETLANDS DELINEATION DOCUMENTATION
FOR MARK ASHBY, EDINA REALTY,
PROJECT IN LITTLE CANADA, MN
John Anderson, WETLANDS DATA, Minneapolis, MN investigated the subject
property subject property tor the presence of wetland on April 17th, 1996 at the request
of Mark Ashby, Edina Realty. The site had been investigated previously on February
10th, 1996. The site was investigated again to determine the presence of wetland
during the growing season. The investigator delineated no additional area as
jurisdictional wetland.
This report is provided as an appendix to the previous report. The parameters of the
wetland /upland boundaries are provided in each delineation report form as this
information is redundant below. Please review documentation of these findings
(referenced in report and site plan). A sketch of the staked wetland boundaries is
included in the report.

LOCATION
METHODOLOGY
Wetlands are identified and delineated using the Federal Manual for Identifying and
Delineating Jurisdictional Wetlands (Interagency Task Force on Wetland Delineation,
1989) and the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual (U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers, 1987) The wetland and /or deep water habitat are classified
according to the methodologies set forth in Wetlands of the United States (USFWS
Circular 39, Shaw and Fredine, 1971) and Classification of Wetlands and Deep water
Habitats of the United States (FWS /OBS Publication 79/31: Cowardin et. a1.1979).
CHARACTERISTICS OF WETLANDS INVESTIGATED
Transect D, #I
This is a upland checksite. Dominant species are Poplar (FAC) Black Cherry (FACU)
and Red Ozier Dogwood (FACW). Soils are Barronett, a wetland soil. Surface
hydrology evidence is not met, as soil is not flooded or saturated. The site appears to
have been effectively drained by an open drainage ditch. The Minnesota drainage
guide states that a four foot deep ditch, placed in Barronett soil, will have a lateral
effect of 87 feet. This lateral drainage likely changed the hydrology from wetland to
non - wetland.

LIMITATIONS OF WETLAND ASSESSMENT
My opinions, conclusions and recommendations were based in part on information I
obtained and evaluated from current sources including state and federal agencies.
verification of the authenticity or accuracy of this information is not warranted and is not
included in the scope of my services. Wetlands delineated under winter conditions
may not be accurate and should be reinvestigated during the growing season.
I appreciate this opportunity to present this analysis.
Sincerely,
John C. Anderson

I have received and reviewed the grading and utility plans dated January, 1996 for the above mentioned project
and offer the following comments:
SAMTALLSEMLEILLWATERMAllti
The owner proposes to connect to existing City sanitary sewer and water main primarily along the southern
ditch of County Road D. Our records show that the trunk sanitary sewer along C.R. D may be somewhat
shallow and could present problems in serving all of the proposed lots by gravity.
The proposed 6" water main is shown having a 90 degree bend just north of Lot 4. Bends should be added
which would lessen the sharpness of the angle,
St 40 ' 1t ti al t tt:k,
The owner requests a one foot variance of right -of -way width at the north end of the plat. From a design and
safety standpoint, we have no objection to granting this variance.
The 55 foot radius curve in the street does not pass minimum standards for 30 tnph (275 foot). If Council
chooses to accept this plat configuration, we recommend that the owner provide appropriate warning signing
for southbound traffic.
The low point on the street is proposed to be placed at a location that is not near the proposed pond. It is not
clear where the water overflows to during heavy rainfall events. it is suggested that the low point be situated
adjacent to the pond, with a clearly defined overflow to the pond. If the current design is carried out, a swale
should be clearly defined on the grading plan at the prescribed overflow location, possibly with an easement
of additional width.
We are concerned about the drainage along the existing ditch at the west edge of this plat. It appears that the
area does not drain well now. The City should consider correcting this problem before this development
occurs. It is not clear what impact the new grading will have on this ditch. It roust be verified that drainage
in the ditch will not be adversely impacted.
Depending on the current drainage patterns along the southern ditch of C.R. D, a culvert may he needed
beneath the proposed street at it's connection to C.R. D.
296:0N 20/20:g 69:2L. 96/L6150
Page 38
S31VI30SSV 00211S3NO2
We will need to see more information regarding the design of the pond. We have concerns if the pond is
designed to hold water for an extended period of tune, given the close proximity to houses (child safety).
We are uncomfortable with the flared end section in Lot 9. If this inlet is necessary, perhaps it could be in
the form of a catch basin with R4342 casting closer to or in the right -of -way. The grades in this area must
he well thought out and detailed. For instance, the grades around the inlet must be gradual so as not to litnit
the owner's use of his yard. Also, during heavier rainfalls, when the area around the inlet floods, the overflow
onto the street must be such that the ponding Ievel remains significantly lower than the house elevation.
MISCELLANEOUS
Soil borings shall be submitted to the City for use in evaluating the proposed grading plan, pavement design,
pipe bedding and the water table elevation.
The plans show that in various areas, sanitary sewer, water main, storm sewer, ponding and trails are proposed
to lie on or abut private property. Appropriately sized easements will be required.
The owner of this development is reminded that their proposed grading and storm sewer plan should be
submitted to the Ramsey- Washington Metro Watershed District for approval. In addition, Ramsey County
may require some submittals and permits related to working within their righbof- -way, and drainage and traffic
issues.

ALSO PRESENT: Mr. Joel Hanson, City Administrator
Mr. Scott Tangen, Public Works Director
Mr. Bill Sanders, Park Consultant
Ms. Mary Granley, Rec. Secretary
MINUTES Remerowski recommended that the minutes of the January 4, 1996
meeting be approved as read.
Motion seconded by Ables.
Motion carried 5 - 0.
SCOTT TANGEN Johnson introduced and welcomed new Public Works Director
Scott Tangen. The City Administrator gave a synopsis of the
required job duties for this position, and Tangen reviewed his
previous duties as a Project Manager in the Engineering
Department for the City of West St. Paul.
DENERY PROP- Ken Gust, an engineer representing the developer of the Denery
ERTY property, presented the preliminary plat for "Stoneridge ", the
proposed development.
Sanders, assisted by Gust, clarified which portions of land
are wetland, which are earmarked for park land, which are
proposed to be dedicated in lieu of a park fee, which are
proposed to be bought by the City from the Denery landowners,
and which are proposed to be sold by the City to the Denery
landowners.
The City Administrator detailed the concept of the land
"trade" as initially discussed, emphasizing this information
is presented without benefit of a purchase agreement. The

City Administrator stated that the triangular piece of land
was to be sold to the Denery property landowners for a price
of $15,000, and the Denery property landowners were dedicating
the southerly portion of their property to the City. He
explained this would provide the City with another segment of
property under the power lines, thus enabling the City to
further extend the trailway. He further revealed that the
City would be taking a park charge for the three lots . on the
west side of the proposed development in addition to the land
transactions.
Remerowski questioned who would be paying for the connection
segment of trail within this development, and what the trail
material would consist of. Sanders answered that the
developer is usually the one who would pay. Remerowski
questioned whether Gust was aware of this additional financial
responsibility. Gust replied he was, but wanted further
clarification as far as where the trail would begin and end.
Remerowski explained the trail would be between lots 5 and 6,
and connect to the land under the power lines. Gust stated he
would make note of this consequence for the developer.
First, Remerowski made a motion to approve a 6 foot asphalt
trail with a low split rail fence at the entrance between lots
5 and 6, to be paid for by the developer. In addition,
Remerowski further moved that land be accepted in lieu of a
park charge for the development of lots 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9,
and a park charge of $625 per lot be assessed for lots 1, 2,
and 3. Lastly, Remerowski moved that the purchase price for
the triangular piece of property to be sold to the Denery
landowners be $.40 per square foot, or approximately $15,000,
and that this money be placed in the park acquisition fund.
Holm seconded the motion.
Motion carried 5 - 0.
Gust questioned if the City had personnel assigned to
determine if trees on the edge or right of way of this
development should be removed, if necessary, and if removed,
which would need to be replaced due to a tree preservation
ordinance. The City Administrator relayed that the City does
have a tree preservation ordinance, and that Mr. Gust could
work with staff to address compliance.
Johnson stated that correspondence was received from
Roland L'Allier, 427 East Viking Drive, requesting he
be allowed to split his property.
Sanders remarked this request is standard, and the lot split
would not impact any park land. Sanders recommended the
standard lot charge.
Holm made a motion that the standard lot charge be accepted
for the lot split for 427 East Viking Drive.
Motion seconded by Johnson.

in front of the L'Allier property, the cost of which is
estimated at $14,000.
Fahey pointed out that new lots do not have the option
of putting in a well if water main is available. City
ordinance requires water main be run to a property if
that property is being divided. The City is saying
they are willing to defer this requirement, if L'Allier
will sign the Waiver. Fahey pointed out that L'Allier
could work the cost of water main into the purchase
price of the lot.
L'Allier reported he was not planning to sell the lot.
L'Allier indicated he would not proceed with the lot
split if he were required to sign a Waiver.
Mr. Fahey introduced the following resolution and moved
its adoption:
RESOLUTION NO. 96 -2 -45 - APPROVING THE DIVISION OF 427
EAST VIKING DRIVE INTO TWO SINGLE - FAMILY LOTS AS
REQUESTED BY ROLAND L'ALLIER SUBJECT TO COMPLIANCE WITH
THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE CITY PLANNER AS OUTLINED IN

ASSESSMENT FOR BOTH PARCELS FOR FUTURE WATER MAIN
IMPROVEMENT ON VIKING DRIVE WITH THE INDICATION THAT
MR. L'ALLIER WILL BE DEEMED IN FAVOR OF SUCH
IMPROVEMENT AND INDICATING THAT WHEN THE NEW LOT IS
DEVELOPED, IT WILL BE REQUIRED TO CONNECT TO CITY WATER

PRELIMINARY Fahey opened the public hearing to consider the
PLAT - preliminary plat for Stoneridge which consists of
STONERIDGE nine single - family lots on a cul -de -sac south of County
® Road D and west of LaBore Road. Fahey pointed out the
Planning Commission as well as City staff has
recommended tabling action on the plat since the
Watershed is requiring a wetland delineation be done on
the property.

There was no one from the general public present
wishing to speak on this matter.
Mr. Morelan introduced the following resolution and
moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION NO. 96 -2 -46 - CONTINUING THE PUBLIC HEARING
ON THE PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR STONERIDGE BASED ON THE
RECOMMENDATION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND CITY
STAFF UNTIL SUCH TIME AS THE DEVELOPER SUBMITS A
WETLAND DELINEATION FOR THE PROPERTY AS WELL AS A
RECOMMENDATION FROM THE WATERSHED ON THE PRELIMINARY
PLAT
The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Scalze.
Ayes (5) Morelan, Scalze, Fahey, LaValle, Pedersen.
Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted.
KELLER Fahey reviewed the results of the survey of Keller
PARKWAY Parkway property owners which asked if they supported
PARKING the posting of both sides of Keller Parkway from
SURVEY Edgerton Street to Arcade Street as no parking.
Currently, the lake side of the street is posted as no
parking. Of the 33 surveys which were mailed, 25 were
returned. 16 property owners supported no parking on
both sides of the street, 8 property owners did not
support, and 1 property owner did not check either box.
Morelan indicated that in reviewing the comments made
by property owners on the survey form, there were some
valid issues raised. Morelan stated he had a difficult
time saying property owners could not park on the
street in front of their house. Morelan suggested the
no parking on the lake side of the street be retained
and enforced. Morelan felt that would address the
safety issues along Keller Parkway. Morelan also felt
most people use the lake side of the street for walking
and biking.
Fahey pointed out the majority of property owners on
the lake are in favor of the no parking ban. Fahey
stated he appreciates comments of property owners that
living on a hill makes it difficult to provide parking
for guests. However, a no parking ban would reduce a
nuisance in the neighborhood and keep the area more
attractive around the lake. Fahey stated he would
support the no parking ban based on the comments of the

PLANNING COMMISSION

Regnier replied that the second garage would be used to
store his personal belongings.
The Planner noted that if the second garage structure
were combined with the existing garage, the CUP would
be necessary only for size. However, given that the
existing garage does not have enough clearance, the
additional space probably needs to be a separate
structure.
Keis pointed out that the proposal is within the range
of square footage the City has approved in the past.
Montour asked the height proposed for the garage.
Regnier reported that he is proposing a 10 -foot ceiling
and an 8 -foot garage door.
The Planner pointed out that the City's height
limitation is 15 -feet to the mid -point of the roof peak
if the structure has a gable roof. The Planner also
pointed out that there must be a minimum separation of
6 feet between the two accessory buildings.
Carson recommended approval of the Conditional Use
Permit for a second accessory building resulting in
total accessory space in excess of 1,000 square feet as
requested by Mr. David Regnier for property located at
2947 Centerville Road subject to compliance with the
recommendations of the City Planner as outlined in his
report dated April 8, 1996, and subject to the
accessory structure meeting all building code
requirements.
Motion seconded by Knudsen.
Motion carried 6 - 0.
PRELIMINARY Mr. Ken Gust appeared before the Commission requesting
PLAT - preliminary plat approval of Stoneridge Addition, a
STONERIDGE single - family development consisting of nine lots.
ADDITION Gust reported that a wetland delineation has been
prepared. That delineation has been reviewed and
accepted by the Watershed.
The Planner pointed out that the preliminary plat was
before the Commission earlier this year. At that time,
2

the Watershed recommended action on the plat be tabled
until a spring wetland delineation could be prepared.
That has been done, and the Watershed has accepted the
delineation. As a result, the preliminary plat as
designed is acceptable to the Watershed. The Planner
also pointed out that a variance of one foot is
necessary for right -of -way width at County Road D.
There is 49 feet of right -of -way at County Road D, and
the Code requires a 50 -foot right -of -way for
residential streets.
The County Road D property owners immediately east of
where the road is proposed indicated that the County
would like their driveway access to come in off
Stoneridge.
Mark Ashby, developer of Stoneridge, pointed out that
the City Planner has suggested the County may raise the
issue, and that the developer should check with the
property owner to determine if their driveway access
can be via Stoneridge Court.
There was no one else present from the general public
wishing to comment on this matter.
Keis recommended approval of the one -foot variance for
street right -of -way for Stoneridge Court at its
entrance from County Road D based on the recommendation
of the City Planner in his February 2, 1996 report.
Motion seconded by Barraclough.
Motion carried 6 - 0.
Carson recommended approval of the Preliminary Plat for
Stoneridge Addition subject to the recommendations of
the City Planner as outlined in his report dated
February 2, 1996.
Motion seconded by Knudsen.

actions over the past few years in approving
Conditional Use Permits for accessory buildings.

Don Smiley informed me that the warning siren we share with
Vadnais Heights is no longer operational. The siren is over 20
years old and would cost over $4,000 to repair. Vadnais Heights
officials favor replacement of the siren and our staff concurs.
The estimated maximum cost for this undertaking is $13,500
including radio controls and installation. This amount would be
split on a 50/50 basis with Vadnais Heights.
It is the recommendation of staff that we authorize an
expenditure from our capital improvement fund for the replacement
of this siren at a cost not to exceed $6,750.

Our File No. 8381
Dear Kathy:

Facsimile
(612) 223 -5289
As you may know, the Minnesota Legislature recently enacted
new provisions of Minn. Stat. §340A relating to temporary liquor
licenses and the terminology "nonintoxicating liquor ". A copy of
the new provisions, which are effective on August 1, 1996, is
enclosed.
As you will notice, Minn. Stat. §340A.410 limits the number
of temporary licenses a city may issue. Our code, Section
702.020(2), has no limit on the number of licenses that can be
granted. Nonetheless, as long as we are aware of and comply with
Minn. Stat. §340.410, it may not be necessary to change our
ordinance on this issue.
In addition, Minn. Stat. §340A.411 has added a
subdivision 3 which reads: "A political subdivision may not
issue a 3.2 percent malt liquor license that includes the term
'nonintoxicating liquor'." The new law also has changed the term
"nonintoxicating liquor" to "3.2 percent malt liquor" wherever it
appears in Minnesota statutes. Therefore, the City should not
issue any liquor license using the terminology "nonintoxicating
liquor ". Furthermore, we may want to adjust the language in the
code in the same manner that the statutory language has been
changed.
Please contact us with direction as to what, if any, changes
the Council believes are necessary with respect our liquor
ordinances.

The Planner pointed out that the Council has asked for
the Planning Commission's input on Conditional Use
Permits for accessory buildings, and whether or not the
Commission felt there were any changes needed in the
ordinance.
The Commission discussed this issue and felt the
Conditional Use Permit process should be retained for
accessory buildings which bring total accessory space
over 1,000 square feet. The Commission felt that the
CUP process gave the City the control it needed to
review these situations on a case -by -case basis and
impose any conditions it feels necessary given the
particular situation. The Commission was also
comfortable with the 1,000 to 1,500 square foot range
which has been used as a guideline in acting on CUP
requests over the past few years. Therefore, it was
the consensus of the Commission to retain the existing
CUP process for accessory building area over 1,000
square feet in size.
Keis reported that as he has been driving around, he
has noticed most freestanding signs are backlit.
Knudsen did not feel the City would want to discourage
business by prohibiting freestanding backlit signs.
Keis felt it was more acceptable along Rice Street, the
City's downtown area, to allow freestanding signs to be
backlit.
Carson . agreed, and felt the City should retain the
existing prohibition of backlit signs on buildings.
Knudsen agreed.
The Planner reported that he has looked at the
freestanding backlit sign at the Market Place, and it
doesn't look bad. However, he would have liked to see
a little better quality sign.
Knudsen pointed out the Planning Commission has always
agreed that quality and appearance is often more
important than use. Knudsen indicated that the
Commission wants to see quality development which is
aesthetically pleasing along Rice Street.

the Watershed recommended action on the plat be tabled
until a spring wetland delineation could be prepared.
That has been done, and the Watershed has accepted the
delineation. As a result, the preliminary plat as
designed is acceptable to the Watershed. The Planner
also pointed out that a variance of one foot is
necessary for right -of -way width at County Road D.
There is 49 feet of right -of -way at County Road D, and
the Code requires a 50 -foot right -of -way for
residential streets.
The County Road D property owners immediately east of
where the road is proposed indicated that the County
would like their driveway access to come in off
Stoneridge.
Mark Ashby, developer of Stoneridge, pointed out that
the City Planner has suggested the County may raise the
issue, and that the developer should check with the
property owner to determine if their driveway access
can be via Stoneridge Court.
There was no one else present from the general public
wishing to comment on this matter.
Keis recommended approval of the one -foot variance for
street right -of -way for Stoneridge Court at its
entrance from County Road D based on the recommendation
of the City Planner in his February 2, 1996 report.
Motion seconded by Barraclough.

A possible timeline for adnptin0 the updated Comprehensive Plan is as fnllnws•
5/22 City Council call for a Public Hearing
6/5 Submit notice of Comprehensive Plan Amendment to newspaper
6/13 Notice published in the official newspaper at least ten days prior to the Hearing.
6/26 Hold the Public Hearing before the City Council
6/26 City Council review and approve the Plan as a major comprehensive plan
amendment, subject to review by the Metropolitan Council.
6/27 Forward the amendment to the Metropolitan Council for review.
7112 The Met Council has 10 days to comment on initial determination of completeness.
The Met Council has 60 days to render a determination of metropolitan system
impact. Since Met Council's typical finding on completeness is a request for
additional information, the 60 day clock does not start until they make a
determination of completeness. Upon City adoption, however, the City should also
present the Plan to surrounding or overlapping jurisdictions, including the County,
the School Districts, adjacent Cities, the Watershed District, and possibly others as
well.
This would be the fastest possible schedule at this point. If the City would like to hold
community meetings prior to going to a public hearing, they could possibly be held in June
(depending upon the City's schedule) or the public hearing date could be moved back one
month. Originally, we had anticipated some community meetings based on the

neighborhoods Illustrated in the Plan. However, it was our impression that the Council had
directed a simpler process, anticipating few major issues, and that community .workshops
were not necessary. If desired, we could schedule the community meetings at this stage,
with an agenda of presentation and feedback.
In one sense, the primary changes have been to the Rice Street corridor, already the
subject of significant discussion. Changes in the other neighborhoods generally reflect the
Planning Commission's and City Councirs position that except two or three individual sites,
there were few major issues relating to land use pattern. We will be prepared to discuss
this Issue further at the upcoming City Council meeting.

RE: Amendment to Loan Agreement - Market Place Redevelopment
In our capacity as the Economic Development Authority, we loaned
$500,000 to Market Place Center, Limited Liability Company to
enable the renovation and enhancement of the center. Pursuant to
the loan agreement, I am not authorized to release funds if there
are insufficient amounts remaining to complete the work in
accordance with the cost estimates that were included with the
loan documents (Exhibits "C" and "D "). Currently, about $41,000
remains to be drawn under the loan agreement. While the
developers have not completed each item under the loan agreement
as initially listed, they have done work in excess of original
estimates. Mr. Grootwassink and Mr. Hotzler would like to draw
these funds for work completed because they have been paying
interest on them since the loan closing.
Attached is a letter from Mark Hotzler which includes revised
Exhibits "C" and "D" (schedules for enhancement work and
rehabilitation work). It also indicates a source of additional
funding which they will use to complete the scheduled work as
well as additional improvements they have undertaken. I am in
receipt of a loan commitment which documents the availability of
this money.
Based upon this information, it would be my recommendation that
the EDA amend the loan agreement with Market Place Center,
Limited Liability Company reflecting the revisions to Exhibits
"C" and "D" with the condition that an additional $170,000 be
provided by the developers to guarantee completion of the
improvements to the center as originally agreed to. With this
approval, we would then be in position to release the balance of
their funds.

Re: Amending Acquisition and Construction Loan Agreement
Market Place Center
Little Canada, Minnesota
Dear Joel:
Pursuant to our meeting, please find enclosed an Amended Exhibit C and Exhibit D to the Acquisition and
Construction Loan Agreement originally executed December 27, 1995 by and between the Economic
Development Authority to the City of Little Canada (EDA) and Market Place Center Limited Liability Company
(Developer)_ If the enclosed revised Exhibits meet with the approval of the EDA, please have one fully executed
copy of this letter, acknowledged below, along with a copy of Exhibit C and Exhibit D attached to the letter
returned to my attention at the above stated address.
As per my letter to you dated May 6, 1996, Bob Grootwassink and I are refinancing another shopping center
which we both jointly own and we have ear- marked $170,000.00 of the capital that we will be receiving from the
refinance for present and future Capital and Tenant Improvements for Market Place Center. We feel that with
this infusion of capital that we not only will be able to complete the items stated in Exhibit C and D but the
additional items that we have decided to complete over and above our agreement. Some of these items are the
complete reroofing of the center and the additional metal siding instead of painting the front of the shopping
center, which we feel is substantially better for the project over the long term even though the capttal cost is
extremely higher than originally budgetted.
If you or the EDA have any questions about our request to amend Exhibit C and D of the Acquisitions and
Construction Loan Agreement or about the redevelopment of the shopping center, please just ask. We await
your response to our request.
Sincerely,
Maik. A. Hutzler

Please find enclosed the revised draft of the Heritage Office
Park Development Agreement. The Letter of Credit has been
established at $50,000 due to the fact that most improvements are
private versus public and that no permits for buildings will be
issued until infrastructure and parking is completed.
Subject to those modifications and any comments from the City
Attorney, I would recommend its approval.

be noted that we will not need to do a total roof replacement on
this building given the fact the easterly portion is in fairly
good condition. Therefore, the $25,000 roof replacement
allowance should be overstated.

TO: Mayor Fahey & Members of the City Council
FROM: Joel Hanson, City Administrator
DATE: May 17, 1996
RE: Water Main Connection for Hedlund Property
At our October 24, 1995 Council meeting, the Council deleted the
assessments for the Cardinal and Hedlund properties relative to
the Keller Parkway water main project conditioned upon their
assigning an agreement indicating they would support a future
water main project for Lakeside Court. Furthermore, should they
connect to Keller Parkway water main, they would pay a connection
charge equal to the Keller Parkway water main assessment plus
interest on the assessment to be spread over a ten year period of
7 1/4 %.
Mr. Hedlund did not want to sign a statement indicating he would
be in favor of a future improvement on Lakeside Court and
therefore requested that we assess him under the Keller Parkway
project. The issue this raised was that a water connection was
not provided for his property off of Keller Parkway based upon
his request made at the neighborhood meeting in the fall of 1994.
To add this service stub at this time would cost approximately
$3,000 based on estimates obtained by the engineers. Also,
Ramsey County does not want the roadway disturbed to facilitate
this connection.
Therefore, it is my recommendation that we delete the requirement
that Mr. Hedlund sign a statement indicating his support of the
future Lakeside Court water main project with the understanding
that his water service will come from that main when it is
installed in the future. Should the Hedlund property need to
connect to Keller Parkway water main, the owner will be
responsible for paying a connection charge equal to the Keller
Parkway water main assessment plus accrued interest and any costs
associated with providing a service connection to the main. The
basis for this recommendation is Mr. Hedlund's previous request
that he not be included in the Keller Parkway project and the
fact it is not financially practical to install a service
connection at this time.

ADMINISTRATOR
Joel R. Hanson
Council Members Morelan, Pedersen, and Scalze have requested that
the Council discuss the regulation of tobacco sales. Based on
that request, I am attaching information obtained from the
Mayors' Commission Against Drugs which compares ordinance
provisions of some other cities as well as a Tip Sheet containing
things to be considered in drafting an ordinance. Also attached
are copies of recent newspaper articles on this subject as well
as an article from the League's Magazine. Finally, I have
attached a copy of the City's existing Cigarette Sales Ordinance.
If the Council's decision is to further regulate tobacco sales,
additional information and research can be gathered to assist in
preparation of an ordinance. We may also want to consider a
workshop for additional discussion of this topic.

RESTRICTING YOUTH ACCESS To TOBACCO— TOBACCO
ORDINANCE PROVISIONS
Licensing Tobacco Vendors
Local ordinances that contain regulations and provisions can make a difference in
restricting youth access to tobacco. The vast majority of Minnesota cities with a
population over 2,000 already Require vendors to have a license to sell tobacco.
Tobacco ordinance govern all licensed tobacco vendors in a connnnnity; however,
local ordinances are effective only if enforcement measures ate in place.
Compliance checks give a community the enforcement tool needed to monitor
underage selling of tobacco products and other provisions of an ordinance and to
enforce penalties.
Ordinance Provisions
Fees
The license fee should cover the cost of enforcement through compliance checks.
Costs include: staff time to coordinate checks, fstradva timsstipends
License
youth buyers and adult trivets, mileage costs,
fees typically range from $12 to $250 a year.
Penalties
Ordinances that include penalties on license beldam of increasing severity for
repeated sales to minors and which culminate in suspension or revocation of the
tobacco retail license can be a vary strong incentive for vet** compliance. The
more straightforward the penalty, the easier it will be to enforce.
There is debate about how to deal with the cleric who sells tobacco to minors. Some
believe a modest fine on the clerk is warranted, or a graduated penalty fee, while
others feel the burden of compliance belongs on the license holder, the person who
profits from the tobacco sales. Community discussion can determine how to
decide this issue.
Point of Purchase Restrictions
Banning or restricting self - service displays may reduce youth access to tobacco in
two ways:
1) Youth are less likely to try and buy tobacco products when they need to request
service from a stop employee.

r�
2) The absence of displays makes it more difficult to steal tobacco products.
The ideal situation is to have all tobacco products behind the counter and
accessible only with assistance of the clerk.
Age of the Seller
The seller of the tobacco product should be over the age of 18. The rationale is that
minors have more difficulty turning down sales to other minors. This is an issue
that can cause debate — some communities are unwilling to include a provision
that could deny employment opportunities fox minors.
Vending Machines
At least 20 Minnesota cities have adopted a total ban of vending machines. A total
ban is easy to understand and enforce and sends a strong message that the
community wants to protect its youth from tobacco. Minnesota state law restricts
the locations of cigarette vending machines and specifies that in most locations the
machine must be in plain view of an employee and furnished with a locking device.
In 1991 surveys conducted by the University of Minnesota showed that the law
made it only slightly harder for a 15 year old to buy from a vending machine than
before the law was passed.
Enforcement Measures
Compliance checks are an effective way of finding out whether vendors are
complying with the law. Some ordinances require compliance checks and dedicate
license fee moneys to pay for regular compliance checks. When they involve
working with local law enforcement, compliance checks can be a valuable tool in
pendi_Jng those merchants who do not comply with the law, and rewarding those
wbo do.
Many communities use local youth groups to assist with compliance checks. Check
with your local D.A.RE. officer, Girllfoy Scouts, Camp Fire, 441, or other youth
organizations for possible resources for conducting compliance checks.

It's illegal to sell cigarettes to teenagers in Minnesota, but some communities
enforce the law strictly; others do not. When teens went undercover to try to
buy cigarettes, guess where they found it easiest.
Many stores in Minnesota still selling .
cigarettes to teenagers, study finds
By Conrad deFlebre
Star Tribune Staff Writer
--The first widespread survey of
compliance with Minnesota's ban
on tobacco sales to minors has
found that underage buyers were
able to buy cigarettes at more
than a third of the stores visited.
The results released Monday
showed similarities with national
Studies showing that more than
•two- thirds of U.S. stores sell to-
bacco to children under 18. But
the Minnesota findings also reig-
:,v
nited a long - running controversy
over how best to keep kids away
from cigarettes.
In the Minnesota communities
with strong local penalties for
merchants who sell to minors,
only 21 percent of attempted
buys by undercover teenagers in
the study were successful. In
communities without such penal-
ties, the success rate was more
than twice as high: 49 percent.
"These findings show that lo-
cal ordinances can literally save
young lives," said Attorney Gen-
eral Hubert Humphrey III, the
state's most prominent crusader
against teen smoking.
But retail and tobacco industry
representatives used the results
to argue exactly the opposite:
that statewide controls are need-
ed to attack underage smoking in
places lacking tough local laws.

"These findings show why to-
bacco lobbyists are pulling out all
the stops to try to ban local to-
bacco ordinances," Humphrey
said. "They know that if kids
don't start smoking as minors .. .
most won't start at all."
Under state law, selling tobac-
co to a minor is a gross misde-
meanor. It is seldom enforced
against store clerks, however, and
contains no penalties for propri-
etors. A growing number of cities
have enacted such penalties,
ranging from fines to license sus-
pensions and revocations, but
many more have not.
In the spot checks, none of the
19 cities and townships with
strong local tobacco laws had
more than 49 percent noncompli-
ance. The spot checks were con-
ducted at 914 stores over the past
seven months by youths working
with adult supervision. The pro-
ject was sponsored by the Minne-
sota Health Department and the
Minnesota division of the Ameri-
can Cancer Society.
In some places, new laws pro-
duced startling results. In Fergus
Falls, for example, compliance
checks before passage of a local
ordinance showed 50 percent of
the stores selling to minors. In
the latest survey, that was cut to 3
percent.
Noncompliance in areas with-
out local laws ranged from 0 to
100 percent. One of the 100 per-

"It was kind of weird that so
many clerks sold to me,” said one
undercover 17- year -old who got
cigarettes at 12 of 16 stores in
Bloomington. "I don't think I
look like I'm 18, but they just set
the cigarettes on the counter and
said, 'Here you go.' "
Regulating
tobacco sales
KENT SULEM
tudies indicate that a vast
majority of smokers start
smoking by the time they
are 18. Studies also show
that if individuals can make
it to 18 without starting to
smoke, they will likely never become
smokers. Minnesota Statute 609.685
makes it illegal to sell tobacco and
tobacco related products and devices to
anyone under the age of 18 years. The
statute also makes it a misdemeanor for
any person under the age of 18 to
possess tobacco or tobacco related
products and devices. Despite these
legal prohibitions, it is a common sight
to see groups of teenagers smoking
outside of school buildings, fast food
restaurants and other popular teen
hangouts.
Cities frequently ask two questions
when faced with the issue of smoking
by minors. The first question is, "Why
should cities worry about this prob-
lem?" There are several reasons why
cities should be interested in curbing
illegal smoking by minors. First,
smoking by minors is a violation of the
law. Cities should always be interested
in reducing the amount of illegal
activities occurring within their limits.
Second, and related to the first reason,
a city's overall image is enhanced by
creating a cleaner and healthier
environment for its youth and adults.
Finally, smoking related health care
costs drain federal and state budgets of
millions of dollars per year. Tightly
enforcing the law and reducing the
number of underage smokers will help
reduce government spending for
smoking related health care costs, thus
freeing up funds to be used for other
city interests.
The second question cities ask when
confronted with the problem of
smoking by minors is, "What can we do
about it ?" This question is answered by
state law authorizing cities to adopt an
ordinance at least as restrictive as the
requirements of M.S. 609.685. Such an
ordinance would allow a city to take
responsibility for enforcing the
prohibition of the sale to and the
possession by minors of tobacco and
tobacco related products and devices.
Several cities across Minnesota. and
nationwide. have already adopted very
strong ordinances regulating the sale
and possession of tobacco and tobacco
products and devices. Some cities in
the United States are also adopting new
and innovative ways to combat the
problem.
The courts appear to be allowing
increasingly restrictive regulations as
long as the primary purpose of the
ordinances is to prohibit unlawful
access by youth to tobacco and tobacco
related products and devices. Restric-
tions on the advertising of cigarettes
and other tobacco products and
related devices are also becoming
increasingly popular. Several decided
and current cases will determine the
extent that such advertisements can be
restricted.
A city interested in regulating the
sale of tobacco and tobacco related
products and devices to minors, should
consider adopting the following types
of provisions:
Require all vendors of tobacco
and tobacco related products and
devices to obtain a license to sell
such items.
Treat the license like any other
license, but set the fee high enough to
help cover minimal inspections of
licensed premises. Fees of $200 to
$500 per year are common. Some
cities are finding success with a
graduated fee schedule that sets the
initial fee at an amount, such as $500,
and provides discounts if the store
owner agrees not to have vending
machines, prohibits or restricts self -
access, or trains the store's clerks in
checking for age identification and in
spotting false identification cards.
A pro -rated fee schedule provides an
incentive for the vendor to take some
action, rather than relying solely on
city regulations and involvement. The
Page 120
ordinance should also provide that the
illegal sale of tobacco or tobacco
related products and devices shall be
grounds for the suspension and /or
revocation of the license. A graduated
penalty scale is advisable with increas-
ing suspensions for initial violations
and revocation after multiple viola-
tions. A penalty scale will encourage
store owners to require their clerks to
ask for proof of age before selling
tobacco or tobacco related products
and devices 10 anyone who appears to
be under the age of 18 years.
Regulate cigarette vending
machines.
Since vending machines offer minors
easy access to tobacco products, the
courts have been receptive to tight
restrictions on such machines. Some
cities completely ban vending ma-
chines, while others require that
machines have restricted access and be
in the plain view of employees so that
only persons who are at least 18 can
obtain cigarettes.
Prohibit self - service stations of
tobacco and tobacco products
and devices.
This provision would make it illegal
for stores to have open racks of
cigarettes. Tobacco and tobacco
related products and devices would be
kept behind the counter and would
only be accessible to employees, thus
reducing access by minors as well as
cutting down on the risk of shoplifting.
At the very least, a city should prohibit
the self - service display of individual
packages of cigarettes.
Make it a misdemeanor for
minors to possess tobacco or
tobacco related products and
• devices.
The ordinance should also make it a
misdemeanor to alter one's age by use
of false identification, or by use of
another person's identification. This is
the current law, but such a provision
allows for easier local enforcement.
In addition, the ordinance should
define all major terms and specify
enforcement procedures, such as the
right of the city to perform random
...- MINNESGTA C;T:ES AUGUS -'^-:

c
inspections of licensed premises by
using undercover minors.
Other possible regulations might
include prohibiting the sale of tobacco
within a set distance from any school,
church, residence or other similar
areas; establishing "smoke -free" or
"tobacco-free" zones; and adopting
stricter clean indoor air requirements
than currently provided for under state
law (possible pre-emption problems
would have to examined).
Based on the argument that tobacco
sales should be as tightly regulated as
alcohol sales, at least one city has tried
to make it illegal for anyone under the
age of 18 to sell tobacco or tobacco
related products and devices. Another
option is to establish policies of not
advertising tobacco related products in
recreational facilities owned by the city
and used by youth who are under the
age of 18.
Finally, there is growing support for
a ban on "point -of -sale" advertising.
One Minnesota city is currently
involved with a legal challenge to its
ordinance that prohibits the use of
tobacco advertising, except for black
and white text signs, on any premises
licensed to sell tobacco or tobacco
related products and devices. This ban
prohibits advertisements on clocks,
shopping carts, check-out line dividers,
trash cans and other popular mini -
advertising sites. A number of cities
have expressed interest in this type of
prohibition. The League is following
this case and will advise cities of their
rights after a decision has been
reached.
Another resource for cities faced
with the issue of smoking by minors, is
the Minnesota ASSIST program of the
Minnesota Department of Health and
the American Cancer Society. Minne-
sota ASSIST works to promote a
tobacco-free environment. Minnesota

RE: North Suburban Youth Association Donation Request
In early March, I applied for a grant from the North Suburban
Youth Association for the funding of a permanent batting cage,
pitching machine, and storage building to be constructed in
Pioneer Park adjacent to the basketball court. The total amount
of the grant request was $15,500. I appeared at NSYA's monthly
board meeting held on April 30th to present this grant request,
which was subsequently denied by the Board.
In discussing the denial with Bob Matson, he encouraged the City
to re -apply in the future, indicating that the Board may react
favorably to the request if a portion of the project was funded
by other sources.
Since that time, I have been trying to identify other funding
sources for this project. To date, I have a commitment from an
individual resident for $1,000. I have also discussed the
project with the Little Canada Recreation Association and
requested a $1,000 donation from this organization. However, the
LCRA does not meet until early June so the outcome of that
request will not be known until then. I would also like to
request $2,000 in funding for the project from the City's 10%
Fund.
Anticipating approval of these funding requests, I have submitted
a revised grant application to the NSYA in the amount of $11,500.
I anticipate this request will be considered by the NSYA Board on
May 28th. Therefore, I would like to have a commitment for as
much of the remaining $4,000 in project costs as possible.
It is my recommendation that the City expend $2,000 from the 10%
Fund for this project in the expectation that the additional
$13,500 would be donated as outlined above. If you have any
questions, please contact me prior to Wednesday's Council
meeting.
