A. Presentation by Mark Lenz, Bearence Management Group regarding City Insurance
Program. _
Mr. Mark Lenz, Bearence Management Group, stated he is an independent broker. He is the
agent for League of Minnesota Cities. He has worked in the insurance industry for over 20 years.
They cover property, liability and worker's compensation for the cities. He works with over 100
entities within the State.
2
I Mr. Lenz provided a brief overview of the municipal coverage. The Insurance Trust has been a
2 stable force for 35 years. The business practices are very conservative. Claims handling is very
3 good. Commercial general liability, Directors' liability, liquor liability, auto liability,
4 employment liability, etc.
6 The Insurance Trust has merged all the liability coverage together. For the last 5 years, worker's
7 compensation in St. Anthony was low and reduced the cost from 25-30% per year. Risk
8 Management and Fiscal Risk Management are self-insured for deductibles. The City Manager is
9 fiscally responsible with the taxpayer's funds.
10
11 B. Resolution 15-037; a Resolution Regarding Renewal of Municipal Insurance Coverage
12 and the Non Waiver of Tort Liability Limits for the League of Minnesota Cities
13 Insurance Trust.
14
15 Mayor Faust noted this decreases St. Anthony's liability.
16
17 Councilmember Stille asked if the level of liability is comparable to other cities. Mr. Lenz stated
18 for St. Anthony it is prudent for the City to have extra coverage. Councilmember Stille stated he
19 fully supports this policy.
20
21 Motion by Councilmember Stille, seconded by Councilmember Gray, to adopt Resolution 15-
22 037; a Resolution 15-037; a Resolution Regarding Renewal of Municipal Insurance Coverage
23 and the Non Waiver of Tort Liability Limits for the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust.
24
25 Motion carried unanimously.
26
27 C. Resolution 15-038; a Resolution Confirming the Extension of Limited Clean Up and
28 Property Damage Protection for Sewer Back Ups and Water Main Breaks for Water and
29 Sewer Customers.
30
31 Mayor Faust stated this is a benefit to the residents.
32
33 Motion by Councilmember Gray, seconded by Councilmember Brever, to adopt Resolution 15-
34 038; a Resolution Confirming the Extension of Limited Clean Up and Property Damage
35 Protection for Sewer Back Ups and Water Main Breaks for Water and Sewer Customers.
36
37 Motion carried unanimously.
38
39 D. Presentation by on Fire Department's First Responder Program. Mark Sitarz, Fire Chief
40 presenting
41
42 Fire Chief Mark Sitarz gave a presentation on the Fire Department's First Responder Program on
43 "Sudden Cardiac Arrest". SCA strikes about 42 men, women and children every hour in the US.
44 It is not a heart attack. It is an electrical malfunction in the heart causing an abnormal rhythm.
45 Heart attack is a problem with the plumbing of the heart resulting in ineffective blood supply.

This will cause pain and symptoms. A severe heart attack can lead to SCA but most of the time
they are separate events.
Treatment. Time is Critical. The success of resuscitation drops about 10% every minute. After 10
minutes in cardiac arrest, a person's chance of survival is only about 2%. Fast response. Early
Identification of Cardiac Arrest. Good CPR — either automated or manual. AED (Automated
External Defibrillator) — Early Defibrillation. Transport from the field to the hospital.
A new key tool in the toolbox is the Lucas 2 Device. "Game Changer". In conjunction with an
AED. Allows us to do more with less. Rather than 10 people in a house, we can operate with 6 or
less. Forefront — Technology. Cooperation between HCMC and the departments. Open House
Demonstrations.
Fire Chief Sitarz provided three success stories where all three people were legally dead and now
have been given a second chance.
Mayor Faust stated the Lucas 2 device was obtained through fundraising. The Council has
always been very supportive of the training the fire department goes through and will continue to
be supportive. St. Anthony is a Heart Safe Community.
Informational; no action required.

REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Meeting Date: June 9, 2015

OVERVIEW:
In front of you this evening is a Public Hearing for an on -sale intoxicating liquor license and a Sunday

published in the St. Anthony Bulletin.
Minnesota Statutes § 340.412, Subd. 2 directs that the City should conduct a preliminary background
and financial investigation into the applicant for an on -sale liquor license. Staff has reviewed the
background of the applicant, applicant's credit/financial history and calls for service at the applicant's
existing bar (Sporty' s 2124 Como Ave SE, Minneapolis). Staff recommends approval of the liquor
license at 3701 Stinson Boulevard.
In addition to tonight's Public Hearing, the applicant has also applied for a Text Amendment of the
City Code to increase the number of on -sale liquor licenses from three to four (later in tonight's
agenda) and a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow a restaurant with a bar which will be on the June
22, 2015 Planning Commission agenda.

MEMORANDUM
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council members
From: Breanne Rothstein, AICP, City Planner
Date: May 26, 2015
City Council Regular Meeting for June 9, 2015
WSB Project No. 02170-180
Request: Request for a Variance from the Required Rear and Side Yard Setback in
Order to Re -Construct and Expand a Garage on the Property located at
2832 Coolidge St NE.
RECOMMENDATION
The Applicant's request for a variance to allow for the re -construction and expansion of the existing
garage is reasonable and consistent with the intent of the Zoning Ordinance and the City's
Comprehensive Plan. Based on the review, staff recommends approval of the requested variance for
the property located at 2832 Coolidge St., subject to the conditions as outlined in the resolution.
The Planning Commission met on May 18, 2015, conducted a public hearing (no one spoke regarding the
variance request), and recommended unanimously (5 to 0) to approve the requested variance.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Applicant/Owner: Kevin Burns
Location: 2832 Coolidge St
Existing Land Use / Low Density Residential/zoned: R-1; Single Family Residential
Zoning:
Surrounding Land North: Low Density Residential / Zoned R-1 - Single Family Residential
Use / Zoning: East: Low Density Residential / Zoned R-1- Single Family Residential
South: Low Density Residential / Zoned R-1- Single Family Residential
West: Low Density Residential / Zoned R-1- Single Family Residential
Deadline for Agency Application Date: 04-23-15
Action: 60 Days: 06-22-15
Letter Sent: No
120 Days: 08-21-15
CONSIDERATIONS RELATING TO THE PROPOSED VARIANCE
1. Background
The Applicants wish to tear down and re -construct a garage on their property in a location that does
not meet the required 5 foot setback. The garage is located one foot from the rear property line.
17
W
Because the applicant is planning to tear down and expand the existing, legal non -conforming
garage, a variance is needed in order to construct in the same, but expanded, location.
2. Applicable Codes.
Title XV Land Usage, Chapter 152 Zoning Code, Section §152.176 ACCESSORY BUILDINGS (B)
Minimum Setback states that "the wall of an accessory building shall not be locate less than five feet
from any property line.
Title XV Land Usage, Chapter 152 Zoning Code, Section §152.245 VARIANCES (A) Application states
that "An owner of property with an existing structure which does not comply with the zoning code,
or of property on which such a structure is proposed to be constructed, may apply for a variance
upon payment of the fee specified in Chapter 33".
3. Criteria for and Consistency with Criteria for Variance Approval. Title XV Land Usage, Chapter 152
Zoning Code, Section §152.245, (C) Evidence, lists the criteria the City Council must consider in
determining whether to grant or deny a variance. The applicable criteria include:
1. The subject matter of the application is within the scope of this section.
The request for a variance for a setback for a garage is within the scope of this section because a
setback is a dimensional standard, and city code allows deviations from setbacks through the
variance process. Criterion met.
2. Strict enforcement would cause practical difficulties because:
a. The property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted
by the zoning code,
The property owners propose to increase the size of their garage from an existing one -
car garage to a two -car garage. They are not proposing to increase the non -conformity
from the rear setback, and are proposing to locate the new garage in its current, but
expanded, location. Therefore, the use of the property, as proposed is reasonable.
Criterion met.
b. The plight of the property owner is due to circumstances unique to the property not
created by the property owner;
The existing garage does not meet the setback, which is out of the control of the
property owner. However, the property owner is proposing to expand the garage, which
is an action by the property owner, which is necessitating the need for the variance.
Criterion not met.
c. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality;
The existing garage, and the garages on the alley, are set back one foot from the
property (see pictures in Exhibit C). Since the garages on the block are set back one foot,
and many are two car garages, granting this variance would be in keeping with the
character of the neighborhood. Criterion met.
d. Economic considerations alone are not the basis of the practical difficulties.
The basis for the practical difficulties is that the garage is currently set back one foot
from the property line. Also, increasing the size of the size increases the livability of the
home and property, which may have a positive impact on the property's value. While
economic considerations are a factor, as the value of the home may increase as a result
of the new garage, it is not perceived that they are the sole basis of the practical
difficulty. Criterion met.
WE
3. The variance, if granted, would be consistent with the City's comprehensive land use plan.
If the variance is granted the use of the property would remain the same land use as it is today,
single-family residential. The comprehensive plan guides this area for single-family use and the
proposed garage will not alter that use. Criterion met.
4. The granting of the variance is in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the zoning
code.
The intent of the zoning code is to protect the health, safety, and general welfare of the city and
its people through the establishment of minimum regulations governing land development and
use. The zoning code is established to protect the use districts; promote orderly development
and redevelopment; provide adequate light, air, and access to property; prevent congestion in
the public streets; prevent overcrowding of land and undue concentration of structures by
regulating land, buildings, yards, and densities; and provide for compatibility of different land
uses.
The proposed garage addition is keeping with the intent of the zoning ordinance. It does not
threaten the nature of the neighborhood and it promotes the orderly improvement of
properties in the area without impeding the general purposes of the zoning ordinance to protect
surrounding properties from incompatible land uses. Criterion met.
POSSIBLE ACTIONS
1. Adopt a resolution approving the variance. The City Council may refer to Exhibit C and may
modify the draft resolution for approval to include any conditions that it deems necessary.
Request Additional Information and Table Action. The Applicant appears to have provided
enough information for the City Council to take action.
Deny the Variance. In the event the City Council chooses denial of the requested variance, it
should clearly state its reasons for the denial and direct staff to prepare a resolution to be
brought back at the next meeting.

Description of Request
We would like to build a new 2 -car garage to replace our existing 1 -car garage. In order to
maintain the consistency of the garages along our alley, and to minimize the loss of yard space,
we request a variance to allow the new garage to be built with the same setbacks as the
existing garage. A picture is included with this request showing an overhead view of the alley.
The desired location of the garage and driveway is sketched on the picture, along with the
approximate location needed to meet the 5 -foot setback requirement. Additional photographs
show the relationship of the current garages along the alley.
Currently, the 3 other garages along the alley are all 2 -car garages, and all are built 1 foot from
the alley -side property lines. In addition, our current garage is directly behind the garage of our
neighbor to the north, and we plan our garage to be the same width as that garage. By building
our garage that width, and using the setbacks of the existing garage, the uniformity of the
garages along the alley will be maintained, as well as the sight lines between yards.
Utilizing the setbacks of our current garage will also reduce the loss of yard, and increase in
width (and cost) of the driveway. The garage immediately behind our existing garage is less
than 1 foot from the side property line, so moving our garage farther away would create a
larger strip of unusable space between the garages that would get very little sunlight and would
be difficult to maintain. By maintaining the existing setbacks of the garage, more space would
be available for lawn and gardens.

RESOLUTION 15-039
RESOLUTION APPROVING A VARIANCE FROM THE REQUIRED REAR
AND SIDE YARD SETBACKS IN ORDER TO CONSTRUCT A NEW GARAGE 1
FOOT FROM SIDE AND REAR PROPERTY LINE ALONG THE ALLEY OF
THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2832 COOLIDGE STREET NE
WHEREAS, the City of St. Anthony Village received a request from the
Applicant Kevin Burns for a variance from the rear and side setback to allow for the
construction of a new garage at the property located at 2832 Coolidge Street, NE on April
23, 2015, legally described as follows:
Lot 003, Block 002, Murray Heights Addition to Minneapolis, Hennepin County, Minnesota
WHEREAS, the property located at 2832 Coolidge St, NE is located within the
City's R1 Zoning District; and
WHEREAS, a 5 -foot rear and side yard setback is required within the R1 Zoning
District for detached garages; and
WHEREAS, the Applicant has requested a 4 -foot variance from the rear and a 4 -
foot variance from the side yard setback to allow for the construction of a new garage
located 1 foot from both the side and rear property line; and
WHEREAS, the existing garage is located 1 -foot from the north property line;
and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission acting as the Board of Adjustments and
Appeals, reviewed and considered the request based on the related documents shown in
the Applicant's application in a public hearing at their regular meeting on May 18, 2015;
and
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
St. Anthony Village approves the Applicant's variance request based on the following
findings:
1. The requested variance is consistent with all the standards for granting a
variance as described in Section § 152.245 of the St. Anthony Village Zoning
Code. More specifically, the City Council finds that the requested variance is
justified for the following reasons:
a. The property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner.
36
b. The existing garage is current 1 foot from the side and rear property line,
rendering it a legal nonconforming structure. Therefore, there is no way
the garage could be expanded and adhere to the City's Zoning Code.
c. Allowing the proposed new garage will have no impact on the essential
character of the locality. In fact upgrading the home with a two -car garage
enhances the neighborhood.
d. The basis for the practical difficulties is that the garage is already
constructed one foot from the rear and side property lines.
e. If the variance is granted the use of the property would remain the same
land use as it is today. The comprehensive plan guides this area for single
family use and adding a larger garage will not alter that use.
f. The proposal would not change the use of the property or create a
disruption to the Single -Family Residential District. The current use as a
single-family home is consistent with the City Code.
g. The proposal seeks to make an improvement to the property by allowing
the property owners to make better use of the garage by expanding it. The
proposal does not increase the non -conformity.
h. The proposal would not negatively impact adequate light or air from
reaching the property or adjacent properties.
i. Allowing the variance is in harmony with the general purposes and intent
of the City's Code relating to preventing congestion in public streets. The
project will have no impact on congestion.
j. Allowing the requested variance will not result in overcrowding of the
land or an undue concentration of structures.
k. Allowing the variance is in harmony with the general purposes and intent
of the City's Code to provide for compatibility of different land uses. The
project will have no impact on land use compatibility.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Council's
approval of the requested variances is contingent on the following:
1. The Applicant shall obtain all necessary permits and approvals prior to
beginning construction.
2. This variance shall expire one (1) year from the date of the resolution if
the construction of the new garage does not commence. City Council
approval shall be required for an extension.

WSB Project No. 02170-002
Request: Consider Ordinance to Amend Sections 152.008 and 152.187 of City Code
Pertaining to Solar Energy Systems
OVERVIEW
In completion of the 2015 Work Plan, the City of St. Anthony Village is pursuing the development of an
amended solar ordinance to allow for greater applications of solar on residential and commercial
structures. An ordinance to allow solar energy systems was adopted in 2014 to allow systems within the
ROS — Recreational/Open Space and LI — Light Industrial Districts. With increased interest in renewable
energy by homeowners, more specifically for the installation of solar energy systems, staff has prepared
a draft Ordinance relating to Solar Energy Systems, specifically in residential and commercial zoning
districts.
The purpose of the amendment is to incorporate more detailed standards governing the installation of
solar energy systems. The ordinance is expected to provide clarity and predictability while ensuring that
solar energy systems may be installed in a manner that allows for effective energy production. Further,
the standards are intended to ensure that these systems are installed in a manner that would not
unduly affect community character. The proposed text amendment would:
• Provide clarity for City staff as well as solar installers and property owners;
• Set standards for building -mounted and freestanding (i.e. ground mounted) systems;
Clarify that solar access easements may be purchased from nearby property owners, consistent
with state statute.
The Planning Commission held a work session on February 24, 2015 to review and discuss a draft
ordinance to permit solar energy systems in residential and commercial zoning districts. The Planning
Commission had several recommendations that Staff brought to a City Council worksession for
discussion. At this worksession, staff received a number of recommendations from City Council, as
outlined below.
The Planning Commission met again at a worksession on April 27, 2015 and reviewed the revised
ordinance. They directed staff to make several changes, as indicated through tracked changes on the
enclose ordinance, including:
1) Allowing solar on accessory structures;
2) Requiring solar systems to be located at or below the ridgeline of the home;
43
M,
3) Adding a clause to allow the continuation of existing solar systems, unless an upgrade requiring
a building permit is proposed;
4) Clarifying the structural integrity requirement to add "to the satisfaction of the building
inspector"
5) Referencing conditional use permit criteria in city code;
6) Eliminating the requirement for a licensed contractor- allow homeowner to install, with the
issuance of a building permit.
The City Council held a work session on May 4, 2015 and again reviewed the revised ordinance. They
accepted the recommended changes of the Planning Commission and recommended the following
additional changes:
1) Solar energy systems on accessory structures must be flush mounted;
2) Any solar installation mounted to a light pole shall not exceed three (3) square feet.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on May 18, 2015, and no one spoke on the draft
ordinance. They recommended approval to the City Council, with minor edits, which are reflected in the
attached ordinance.
SUMMARY OF ORDINANCE AMENDMENTS
As proposed, the ordinance makes the following changes from the original solar ordinance:
1) Adds a clarifying definition of "flush mounted solar energy systems"
2) Clarifies and expands the purpose of the ordinance
3) Allows for solar panels in residential districts and required standards
4) Requires conditional use permit for all commercial installations
5) Added a caveat about ready roof access for emergency access
6) Requires proof of structural integrity to the satisfaction of the building inspector
7) Allows free standing solar energy systems in the rear yards of residential, with applicable
standards, including double the side yard setback
8) Added specific standards for lightpoles
9) Added design and performance standards for solar energy systems

REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Meeting Date: June 9, 2015
Elections Services Agreement with Ramsey County Elections for 2015 through 2016.
OVERVIEW:
In front of you this evening is an agreement between Ramsey County, St. Anthony -New Brighton
School District and the City of St. Anthony for Elections Services in 2015 -2016. Staff recommends
approval.
Attached is a draft agreement for contracting election services for the entire City through Ramsey
County. Currently Ramsey County Elections provides election services for the cities of St. Paul,
Roseville, Moundsview, Arden Hills, Vandais Heights, Falcon Heights, North Oaks, Gem Lake and
White Bear Lake Township. Elections Manager Joe Mansky anticipates the cities of Shoreview and
White Bear Lake joining in the near future. Mr. Mansky stated that once a city has contracted with
Ramsey County Elections for their services there hasn't been a city that has gone back and resumed
the responsibility of elections. Ramsey County Elections is all they do and they are extremely
efficient. The City Clerk would be the point of contact/liaison for elections. If approved the City Clerk
would reallocate the time spent on elections toward a greater focus on communications efforts.
From a resident prospective there will be no changes, except residents may have the option to travel
downtown St. Paul to vote at the Elections Office in St. Paul if they wish.
Below are prices for 2015 and 2016:
2015 — City and School District General Election
City share — 40% of St. Anthony total
School district share — 60% of St. Anthony total, plus 50% of New Brighton 1B (this may vary a little,
based on our agreement to share costs with New Brighton)
• Based this breakdown on the average amount of the ballot devoted to City and School District candidates and ballot
questions from 2003-2014.
2016 — State Primary and State General Election
City share — 100%
City total would be $39,200 or $4,900 per quarter for the 2015-2016 biennium. This would cover one
City election and two state elections per biennium. This would be an overall increase of $7,569 per
year to the budget.

represented employees approved by the Ramsey County Board of
Commissioners; 3) changes in the Consumer Price Index for the
Minneapolis -Saint Paul metropolitan area, as determined by the
U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics for the previous two-year period; 4)
changes in state, federal, County or City legal requirements, as
applicable; and 5) other factors having a significant impact on
election costs.

election.

as a result of the enactment of new election laws.

Re: Chris Christopherson
Proposed future business-37th/Stinson (closed IHOP)
I live in Southeast Mpls near the University of Minnesota. Chris came to our
neighborhood several years ago with a plan to revitalize a business in our area
that had existed since the 1920's. (Sporty's — 22nd and Como Ave SE)
He came to us with experience in the restaurant business, he knew what he
wanted. He focused on the neighborhood, the families and the people working in
the nearby businesses.
Chris had been incredibly responsive to the neighborhood including participating
in neighborhood events and serving on the neighborhood board.
A liquor license was not the issue, responsible ownership and management were.
He met all our expectations, people living nearby came and will come to his new
place if approved. There will be no concerns with the environment— noise,
crowd, etc. have never been an issue. He runs a very responsible business.
I would support his plan to revitalize a property I have driven by for years.
Thank you for listening.
