A.4 Liquor Operations Annual Report.
5
6 Liquor Manager Mike Larson presented the Liquor Operations Annual Report for 2022. There
7 are two convenient locations at Silver Lake Village and Marketplace. Mr. Larson reviewed the
8 Mission and Vision Statements. Mr. Larson introduced other Liquor Operations staff that were
9 present at the meeting (Josh, Holly, and Bill). He explained the value of municipal liquor
10 operations, and the value of St. Anthony Village Wine and Spirits. Charts showing the Sales and
11 Profit Comparison 2022-2021, 5-year profit history, and 10-year profit history. Benchmarks and
12 Comparisons including Inventory Turn Ratio, Inventory Value, Labor Costs, Total Operating
13 Expense, Physical Inventory Adjustments. According to the 2021 State Auditors Report St.
14 Anthony Village Wine and Spirits ranked 14th in the State in total sales, and 10th in net profits of
15 18 metro operations. There are 177 cities operating 212 stores. It was noted that 100% of the
16 profits go into the City’s General Fund.
17
18 Current conditions include Open 7 days a week, regular store hours; Increasing product
19 availability; Continued delivery/supply chain issues; Rising product costs; and Resuming
20 Sampling events. Mr. Larson reviewed plans for the future for the stores.

22 In 2023 the Municipal Liquor Operation will be celebrating 75 Years of Public Service. There
23 have been 1.5 Million Transactions in the last five years. The website has updates on events,
24 monthly specials, news & updates, product requests, store hours and contact information for the
25 Liquor Operations.
26
27 Councilmember Randle asked about the bottle and can deposit. Mr. Larson stated a bill has been
28 presented to the Legislature for a bottle and can deposit. This presents a problem for customers
29 returning bottles and cans to stores. Mr. Larson is monitoring the situation closely.
30
31 Councilmember Webster thanked Mr. Larson for the overview. She appreciated him identifying
32 the purpose and she appreciates how helpful the employees are when she is in one of the stores.
33 She asked about the staffing situation and whether there were unfilled openings. Mr. Larson
34 stated during the last half of 2022 they were short-staffed. They are currently receiving a lot of
35 applications for positions. She is looking forward to the tour.
36
37 Councilmember Walker stated he makes purchases from either location and the staff is very
38 professional. He asked Mr. Larson if sales will be increasing in 2023. Mr. Larson stated they
39 have the opportunity to maintain a higher level of profits than 2014. It is difficult to say what
40 will take place. Some product costs are tapering. He is more concerned about road construction
41 this year.
42
43 Councilmember Jenson stated it looks like there is some relation of controls and cost of goods
44 sold. Net profits did increase and it appears to be at a steady incline which shows you have a
45 good operation and employees.

Re: Resolution Accepting and Approving the Grant Agreement for
MCES 2020 I/I Grant Program
City of St. Anthony Village, MN
Dear Honorable Mayor, City Council, and Staff:
Attached for your consideration is a resolution authorizing the application for grant monies from the
Metropolitan Council of Environmental Services (MCES) I/I Municipal Grant Program.
This program allows municipalities that have been identified as having excessive inflow and
infiltration to receive assistance with capital improvements completed between January 1, 2021 to
December 31, 2022, that reduce the amount of inflow and infiltration.
The MCES has indicated that the sanitary sewer improvements associated with the City of St.
Anthony’s 2021 and 2022 Street and Utility Improvement Program qualify as capital improvements
eligible under the I/I Municipal Grant Program.
Katie Koscielak will be available to answer your questions at your March 14, 2023 Council meeting,
or you may contact me at 612.388.9652
Sincerely,
WSB

MEMORANDUM
To:Mayor Stille and St. Anthony Village City Council
From:Stephen Grittman, City Planner
Date:City Council Meeting – March 14, 2023
NAC Project No.323.01 – 23.01
Request:Request for a Conditional Use Permit for Catering Facility in the Light
Industrial District
Property Address:3601 29th Avenue NE
Property PID:06-029-23-44-0036
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Applicants are seeking approval of a Conditional Use Permit to remodel and occupy an
existing building at the above address. The site is zoned Light Industrial, and is surrounded by
other Industrial parcels. The proposed use would be as a commercial catering and food
preparation business, listed as a Conditional Use in the L-I District. The applicants note that the
business supports its existing restaurant (The Tea House) at 2425 University Avenue SE in
Minneapolis. The application notes that the activity at the site may eventually expand to
include fresh and frozen food preparation for sale in groceries and restaurants.
The building is a 14,447 square foot structure that occupies the extent of the site, with its
attendant parking and circulation spaces. The building exterior would be modified only slightly
through the refitting of an existing doorway with a frost stoop to meet building code exiting
requirements. The applicant further notes that no exterior signage would be provided, with the
exception of directional/identification signage over existing entrances.
The plans show parking along the east wall of the main building, and along the north wall of the
“warehouse” portion of the building. A single at-grade dock door serves the warehouse portion
of the building along that north wall as well. No additional docks are proposed. The applicants
indicate the potential for 2 semi- or box-trucks serving the site, with no overnight parking, along
with 2 vans for deliveries, which would be parked in existing parking spaces.
PLANNING COMMISSION AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Commission considered the item at a public hearing on February 21, 2023.
Representatives of the project were in attendance, but no other members of the public offered
comment. The Commission’s discussion primarily focused on the compatibility of the use with
March 14, 2023
Page 2
the industrial neighborhood and zoning. Questions related exclusively to clarifying the nature
of the use and the site.
Staff has reviewed the project for land use compliance with the intent and policies of the City’s
Comprehensive Plan, and for zoning consistency with the L-I, Light Industrial District as a
baseline. In summary, the Comprehensive Plan promotes use of the subject properties that
reflect the proposed industrial uses in the area. The proposed Conditional Use Permit meets
the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance for the baseline district zoning standards.
As such, the Planning Commission unanimously recommends approval of the Conditional Use
Permit to allow the proposed catering facility in the subject location.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Applicant:Daniel Wang
Owner:Dio Investments (Daniel Wang)
Location:3601 29th Avenue NE
Existing Land Uses Existing Industrial Building
Zoning:L-I, Industrial
Deadline for Agency Application Complete Date: January 17, 2023
Action:60 Days: March 18, 2023
Letter Sent:NA
120 Days:May 19, 2023
1.Background
Project Description. The applicants are seeking a Conditional Use Permit to establish an a
catering facility as described above
in an existing industrial building. The
site location is at the northeast
corner of 29th Avenue NE (County
Road C to the east), and Anthony
Lane. The site is just under one acre
in area, and is occupied by a 14,447
square foot building.
The use is consistent with both the
Comprehensive Plan’s land use
direction, as well as with the intent
of the relevant zoning, which would
be “L-I, Light Industrial for the site
and the surrounding area.
March 14, 2023
Page 3
As noted in the Project Description and the applicant’s narrative, only insignificant changes
are proposed for the building, which do not alter the existing site conditions.
The zoning ordinance lists the following required findings for consideration of a Conditional Use
Permit:
(C) City Council action. A conditional use permit may be granted only by a majority vote
of all members of the City Council after determining that:
(1) The use is one of the conditional uses specifically listed for the district in
which the property is located;
(2) The City Council has specified all conditions which the City Council deems
necessary to make the use compatible with other uses in the area;
(3) The use will not be detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of
persons residing or working in the vicinity or to the values of property in the
vicinity; and
(4) The use will provide a service or a facility which is in the interest of public
convenience and will contribute to the general welfare.
The use is specifically listed in the district, and the site has been developed for industrial uses.
As noted by the applicants, only limited employee counts are likely, and even with growth,
there appears to be ample room for both the trucking and automobile parking on the site.
For Conditional Use Permits, the common consideration is whether the use can compatibly
coexist with others in the immediate area. As no changes are contemplated for the site, there
are no apparent concerns related to safety or negative impacts on the site or neighborhood.
The site has access to both 29th Avenue NE and Anthony Lane, and the low levels of traffic
generation are unlikely to raise any issues for street use or other factors.
Because the site will operate as a food processing/preparation site, staff will be requesting
comment from public works and engineering to ensure that there are no anticipated impacts to
sanitary sewer capacities or pre-treatment requirements as a function of building permit
review.
2.Criteria for and Consistency with Criteria for CUP Approval. Title XV Land Usage, Chapter
152 Zoning Code, Section §152.243.
SUMMARY AND STAFF/PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS
Conditional Use Permit for an Amendment to the Silver Lake PUD - Staff and Planning
Commission recommend approval with the following conditions:
March 14, 2023
Page 4
1.Issues related to utilities shall be subject to comment and recommendation by the City
Engineer.
2.Consideration of comments of other City Staff.
This recommendation is based on a finding that the proposal, with the conditions cited, is
consistent with the requirements for Conditional Use Permit consideration, with the long-term
objectives of the recommendations and policies of the St. Anthony Comprehensive Plan.

Re: Conditional Use – Land Use Application – Project Narrative
+ Project: 21166: Asian Mill
+ Site: 3601 29th Ave NE, St. Anthony, MN 55418
To whom it may concern,
Asian Mill is requesting a Conditional Use approval of a catering facility in the light Industrial
district of St. Anthony. Catering is a permitted conditional use within this zoning district.
Asian Mill is proposing to convert the vacant building into a commercial food processing facility. It
is their intent to start by cooking fresh food to help supply their existing restaurant, Tea House
(2425 University Ave SE). They will expand into preparing fresh and frozen foods that will be for sale
in grocery stores and restaurants.
Exterior work to the building and site will be limited. An existing door along 29th Ave NE will
receive a frost stoop to comply with exiting requirements. No wall or site signage will be added to
this facility. Vinyl wayfinding signage will be included at entrance doors only. No branding or
signage is being requested.
At the Interior, the rear warehouse space will receive large walk in coolers and freezers. In the SE
portion of the building will be the new processing facility. A new commercial grade kitchen will be
constructed in a portion with the rest of the space reserved for packaging and future expansion. The
SW portion of the building will be used for support services like offices, break room and restrooms.
They will also have room for future office expansion in this area as well.
Operational details for this facility
• Business hours - 11:00 am - 9:00 pm Monday - Sunday
• Number of employees will be four (4).
• Operations anticipate three (3) trucks (a mix of semi and box trucks) per day to handle
shipping and receiving of product.
• No overnight semi truck parking is being requested but they do have two (2) vans that will
be parked in standard parking stalls.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please reach out.

PUD Amendment with the conditions noted in the Staff report, and as listed below; and
WHEREAS, the City Council makes the following findings of fact in support of the resolution
for approval:
1.The property is located in an area of industrial land use on a major collector roadway.
2.The proposed use is identified as an allowed Conditional Use in the Light Industrial
zoning district.
3.The additional impacts of the proposed use expected to be minimal due to the minimal
changes to the building and site, including compatibility with other uses in the
neighborhood.
4.The proposed business uses constitute a reasonable use of the property.
5.The proposed uses, constructed and operated within the requirements of the Code and the
conditions of this resolution, will not impact surrounding property or public areas beyond
the expected impacts of permitted, compliant uses in the commercial zoning district, nor
negatively impact health, safety, or welfare of the community.
6.With the proposed conditions, the City Council finds that there is no evidence to believe
that the use will have a detrimental effect on neighboring uses or property values.
NOW THEREFORE MAY IT BE RESOVLED, that the City Council of the

RESOLUTION 23-021
A RESOLUTION RECOGNIZING NO MOW MAY BY ADDING AN EXEMPTION TO
CERTAIN REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION 150.094(E) OF THE CITY CODE FOR THE
MONTH OF MAY
WHEREAS, in 2018, the city received a grant from Hennepin County to add pollinator
plantings resulting in the installation of 32 new gardens; and
WHEREAS, in 2019, the city adopted Resolution 19-062 to endorse pollinator protection and
promote pollinator habitat; and
WHEREAS, in 2022, the city updated Section 150.094 of the city code to include pollinator
gardens, native vegetation and natural habitat for pollinators; and
WHEREAS, insects, especially bees, serve a significant and critical role as pollinators of plants
including agricultural plants; and
WHEREAS, the ideal pollinator-friendly habitat is one comprised of mostly native wildflowers,
grasses, vines, shrubs, and trees blooming in succession throughout the growing season; and
WHEREAS, the formative period for establishment of pollinator and other insect species and
the many songbirds and other urban wildlife species that depend upon them occurs in late spring

foraging habitat; and

to limit lawn mowing practices during the month of May to provide early season foraging
resources for pollinators that emerge in the spring, especially in urban landscapes when few
floral resources are available; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of St. Anthony Village encourages interested residents
to increase pollinator-friendly habitat by practicing pollinator-friendly lawncare on their own
properties for the month of May during this formative period; and
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of St. Anthony
Village recognizes No Mow May to actively promote and educate the community about the
critical period of pollinator emergence, generation of crucial pollinator-supporting habitat and
early spring foraging opportunities.

approve an exemption to certain requirements of Section 150.094(E), specifically the

Year Round Progression | 4
YEAR ROUND PROGRESSION
The process for goal setting actually begins well before the session in January. Throughout the year
elected officials and appointed staff gather community input from residents via council meetings,
Night to Unite, VillageFest, Village Big Rigs, personal interactions, phone calls, letters and emails.
Department heads also solicit input from other staff. When we gather on that day, our consultants
bring a perspective from their industry and their work in other cities. Commission chairs represent
their fellow commission members and public, and our guests offer state and regional perspectives.
This collective input creates the synergy through which we establish our mission, vision, strategic
initiatives, goals and action steps based on best practices, demographic trends, innovation, and
legislative changes. As city staff follows through with the implementation of the action steps on
The Pyramid that is guided by our mission, vision, strategic initiatives and goals, we are already
gathering data for next year. Annual goal setting is an invaluable process that keeps us continually
moving toward becoming the best community we can be.

In an era of finite resources and increased demand, the City of St. Anthony Village has found
collaboration to be fundamental to our mission of providing existing and expanding services to
our community members. Forging a network of collaboration with numerous government
entities, the City has been able to build relationships that enable us to maintain and expand a
variety of city services throughout our departments that may have otherwise not existed.
Above is a sampling
of the entities the

2022 GOALS AND ACOMPLISHMENTS
A key component of the strategic planning process in St. Anthony is the review of the previous
year’s accomplishments. It is through this examination of past achievements and continuing
initiatives that context is established for setting appropriate goals in 2023 and beyond.
The Mayor and City Manager reviewed selected accomplishments and notable items from 2022

ADAPTING THE PYRAMID
An objective this year was to revise the “top half” of the pyramid – mission, vision, strategic
initiatives and goals. Below is an overview of the process the team followed, and thoughts, ideas
and issues discussed:
Overall
A 1-page overview to use directly in the community and that the community can use
o “Pyramid” is a framing concept that Communications will make it appealing and effective
o Ideally a single purpose summary of the plan for the year + Mission, Vision, Core
o In practice can include other messaging purposes on a limited basis – less is more

Core Services
How
The direct services and tangibles provided by the City – provides detail re “How” / Mission

o Community benefits indirectly from the amenities nearby
Goals
Interim Impact
4-6 objectives that link core services to vision;
o Can be “evergreen” like above or focus areas for 3-5-7 years on the path to vision
o Include detail that makes the goal clear with key strategies or similar
Bottom Level
Near(er)-term
Implementation
Priorities
Each year assume that this is first filled with items from retreat discussions, then follow up in multi -year
initiatives, and finally timely priorities – Less is more, especially at the bottom
o Emphasize big changes/focus areas and priorities v individual steps, tactics, done, ongoing
o Make clear now/evergreen items; 1-2-year and longer duration items
Core Values These provide guides for staff as they implement the work, promises to the community

MISSION AND VISION
During 2023, the City Council determined that it was time to revisit this “top half” of the Pyramid.
The facilitator asked the Council and senior staff to complete pre-work exercise to revise the
Mission and Vision statements, and the Strategic Initiatives and Goals headings. The second
morning of the sessions was dedicated to this, and the end results are below:
CORE VALUES, CITY SERVICES AND GOALS
The Strategic Initiatives and Goals were reviewed and the City’s Core Services were added in place
of the Strategic Initiatives categories; which were collapsed into the Goals categories. In
subsequent review and discussion on the Pyramid, the Council integrated the City’s existing Core
Values into the top half of the Pyramid, and replaced Innovative with Inclusive:
S.E.R.V.I.C.E. —
The St. Anthony Way

2023 PYRAMID
BUILDING THE PYRAMID
On Friday, the Mayor, Council, City Manager, Department Heads and City Engineer reviewed the
ideas generated from the Wednesday and Thursday discussion. The 2022 Pyramid’s Action Steps
were discussed, and many removed as they are now part of routine operations. Next, the group
identified priorities for the 2023 Pyramid as shown below:
The Pyramid is used
year round by the City
to track progress and
ensure the City remains
focused on its goals.
Each spring the City
Council presents the
pyramid to both the
Parks & Planning
Commissions.
It is published in the
Village Notes
newsletter, and made
available on the City’s
website.
