City Council Regular Meeting Minutes

Page 2
Mayor Faust opened the public hearing at 7:03 p.m. 1
2
City Manager Casey stated this public hearing is for an on-sale intoxicating liquor license and 3
Sunday on-sale license for the former I-Hop restaurant. He advised that staff reviewed 4
background information along with the applicant’s credit and financial history and calls for 5
service to the applicant’s existing bar and staff recommends approval of the liquor license. He 6
explained that in addition to the public hearing the City Council would consider an amendment 7
to the City Code to increase the number of on-sale liquor licenses from three to four as well as a 8
Conditional Use Permit that will be considered at a Planning Commission public hearing on June 9
22, 2015. He then introduced the applicant, Mr. Chris Christopherson. 10
11
Councilmember Stille requested further information about the 60-40 rule. 12
13
City Manager Casey explained that the City Code requires all liquor establishments to have 60% 14
of its gross receipts related to food and 40% or less related to liquor sales. 15
16
Councilmember Gray asked about the history of the City’s limit on liquor licenses. 17
18
City Manager Casey stated that the City Code limit is a local condition and the State regulates 19
how many liquor licenses are allowed in cities based on its population, adding there are also 20
exemptions for restaurants, bowling alleys, or hotels and a city can impose an overall limit and 21
St. Anthony chose to limit the number of liquor licenses. 22
23
Mayor Faust stated the City went to a referendum in 2003 and at that time there were only three 24
potential applicants that wanted a liquor license. He stated the City Council found it prudent at 25
that time to limit the number of liquor licenses to three, knowing that the City could increase the 26
number and still retain control over the number of liquor licenses issued. 27
28
Councilmember Gray stated the City Council approves all liquor licenses anyway so that control 29
is already in place and felt this seemed like an extra step that might not be necessary. 30
31
Ms. Joan Menken, 1067 14th Avenue SE, stated she lives in the neighborhood near Sporty’s and 32
Mr. Christopherson has been focused on the neighborhood and families and has been incredibly 33
responsive to the neighborhood, including participating in neighborhood events. She stated Mr. 34
Christopherson met all their expectations and there has never been an issue with his 35
establishment on Como Avenue, adding he runs a very responsible business and she supported 36
his plan to revitalize the former I-Hop property. 37
38
Mr. Chris Christopherson stated he has lived in the Twin Cities all his life and has worked in the 39
restaurant business since the age of 13 and spent the last ten years at restaurants like Pittsburgh 40
Blue. He stated he would like to expand his business and feels that the former I-Hop property 41
would be a great opportunity. He stated they have a strong focus on service, atmosphere, and 42
providing a strong community gathering place and the restaurant supports local charities. 43
44
Councilmember Stille asked Mr. Christopherson if he would have any problem complying with 45
the 60-40 rule. 46

Mr. Christopherson replied he did not believe he would have a problem complying with the rule, 1
adding that they were required to comply with this in the City of Minneapolis. He stated they 2
serve a lot of premium beer and premium cocktails and a lot of their food menu is low priced 3
with happy hour focused on food rather than alcohol. 4

Mayor Faust closed the public hearing at 7:17 p.m. 6

V. REPORTS FROM COMMISSION AND STAFF. 8
9
A. Resolution 15-039 Approving Variance at 2832 Coolidge St NE. Jim Gondorchin, 10
Planning Commissioner, presenting. 11
12
Planning Commissioner Gondorchin explained the applicant plans to demolish and replace the 13
existing garage that does not meet the required 5’ setback. He presented an aerial view of the 14
site showing the proposed garage and the existing garage and stated the variance would allow the 15
new garage to be constructed in line with the rest of the garages in the neighborhood. He 16
reviewed the criteria for variance approval and advised that the applicant is proposing to expand 17
the garage, which is necessitating the need for a variance; however, all other variance criteria 18
have been met and the Planning Commission recommends approval of the variance. 19
20
Councilmember Stille asked about lot coverage. 21
22
City Planner Rothstein advised that this lot is approximately 7,800 square feet and is at 39% lot 23
coverage so the variance keeps lot coverage under 40%, adding that if the applicant met the 5’ 24
setback with a 5’ concrete apron, their lot coverage would exceed the Code and the variance 25
allows the applicant to construct the garage closer to the alley with a smaller concrete apron. 26
27
Motion by Councilmember Brever, seconded by Councilmember Jenson, to adopt Resolution 15-28
039 Approving a Variance from the Required Rear and Side Yard Setbacks in Order to Construct 29
a New Garage 1 Foot from Side and Rear Property Line Along the Allley of the Property located 30
at 2832 Coolidge Street NE. 31
32
Councilmember Gray noted there are not that many alleys in the City and questioned whether the 33
City should amend its Ordinance to allow this without having to go through the variance process 34
and to come up with a reasonable standard for these situations. He stated all the garages in the 35
alleys are about 1’ from the property line and it might make sense to amend the Ordinance to 36
make an exception for alleys like this. 37
38
Motion carried unanimously. 39
40
VI. GENERAL BUSINESS OF COUNCIL. 41
42
A. Ordinance 2015-03 an Ordinance Amending Chapter 112.15 to allow 4 On-Sale Liquor 43
Licenses Within the City. Mark Casey, City Manager, presenting. 44
45
City Manager Casey presented the Ordinance to amend the City Code and stated the City 46
currently has three on-sale liquor licenses and the text amendment would bring the total number 47
of liquor licenses to four. 48

Motion by Councilmember Gray, seconded by Councilmember Jenson, to approve First Reading 2
of Ordinance No. 2015-03 Amending Chapter 152 to Change the Number of On-Sale Liquor 3
Licenses Allowed in the City. 4
5
Motion carried unanimously. 6
7
B. Ordinance 2015-04 an Ordinance Amending Chapter 152.008 and 152.187 pertaining to 8
Solar Energy Systems. Breanne Rothstein, City Planner, presenting. 9
10
City Planner Rothstein presented the proposed Ordinance to allow a variety of changes to the 11
current solar ordinance related to solar energy systems in residential and commercial zoning 12
districts. She explained that the purpose of the amendment is to incorporate more detailed 13
standards governing solar installation, provide clarity for staff, solar energy installers, and 14
property owners, to set standards for building-mounted and freestanding systems, and to clarify 15
that solar access may be purchased from nearby property owners. She stated that the Planning 16
Commission and City Council discussed adding a definition for flush-mounted systems to clarify 17
that only flush-mounted systems may be installed on the front of homes to minimize visual 18
impacts to surrounding properties. She stated the Planning Commission and City Council also 19
determined that freestanding systems would be allowed as long as they follow the setback 20
requirements and are located in the rear yard and do not exceed 10’ in height. She stated that a 21
CUP would be required for all commercial installations and light pole mounted solar installations 22
would be allowed through the issuance of a CUP and limited to 3 square feet. She advised that 23
the Planning Commission held a public hearing and recommended approval of the Ordinance, 24
adding that the Ordinance is consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Land Use Plan and the 25
City’s goal of finding ways to be sustainable as a community. 26
27
Councilmember Stille felt the proposed Ordinance captures what the City is trying to accomplish 28
and protects the integrity of its neighborhoods, adding that it was important to recognize that this 29
Ordinance will be fluid given the rapid changes in technology. 30
31
Motion by Councilmember Stille, seconded by Councilmember Gray, to approve First Reading 32
of Ordinance No. 2015-04 Amending Section 152.008 Definitions and §152.187 Solar Energy 33
Systems to Update Provisions Pertaining to Solar Energy Systems. 34
35
Motion carried unanimously. 36
37
C. Resolution 15-040 Approval of Elections Services Agreement with Ramsey County 38
Elections Office for 2015 through 2016. Mark Casey, City Manager, presenting. 39
40
City Manager Casey stated that Ramsey County currently provides election services to nine other 41
cities and is extremely efficient in providing these services. He stated if the agreement is 42
approved, the City would incur an additional $7,569 per year for Ramsey County to manage its 43
elections, adding that all three precincts are covered under the agreement. 44
45
Councilmember Stille noted that the Ramsey County Attorney’s Office would advise and 46
represent the City on election-related issues with the exception of anything related to City Code. 47

Date: May 26, 2015
For Regular June 23, 2015 City Council meeting
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;
31
Page 2
City Council 1st Reading
June 9, 2015
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
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends approval of the enclosed ordinance amending Sections 152.008 and 152.187 of City
Code to incorporate revised standards for solar energy systems.

Section One. Amendment to the City of Saint Anthony Village City Code to Amend Section
§152.187. Section §152.187 of the City Code of the City of Saint Anthony Village is hereby amended as
follows. The deleted language is represented by strikethrough text. The additional language is
represented by double underlined text.
§152.008 DEFINITIONS.
BUILDING-INTEGRATED SOLAR ENERGY SYSTEM. A solar energy system that is
an integral part of a principal or accessory building, rather than a separate mechanical device,
replacing or substituting for an architectural or structural component of the building. Building-
integrated systems include but are not limited to active photovoltaic or hot water systems that are
contained within roofing materials, windows, walls, skylights, and awnings, or passive systems
that are designed to capture direct solar heat.
BUILDING-MOUNTED SOLAR ENERGY SYSTEM. A solar energy system affixed to
a principal or accessory building.
FLUSH MOUNTED SOLAR ENERGY SYSTEM. A solar energy system that is
installed on the roof of a building in which the solar panels are parallel with the finished roof
materials.
FREESTANDING SOLAR ENERGY SYSTEM. A solar energy system with a
supporting framework that is placed on, or anchored in, the ground and that is independent of any
building or other structure. Garages, carports or similar structures that incorporate building-
integrated or building-mounted solar energy systems shall not be classified as freestanding solar
energy systems and shall instead be subject to regulations governing accessory structures.
SOLAR COLLECTOR SURFACE. Any part of a solar energy system that absorbs solar
energy for use in the system’s transformation process. The collector surface does not include
frames, supports, and mounting hardware.
33
Draft revised 5.26.2015
SOLAR ENERGY. Radiant energy received from the sun that can be collected in the
form of heat or light by a solar collector.
SOLAR ENERGY SYSTEM. A device, set of devices, or structural design feature
intended to provide for collection, storage, and distribution of solar energy for purposes including
heating or cooling buildings or other energy-using processes, electricity generating by means of
any combination of collecting, transferring, solar-generated energy, or water heating.
Section Two. Amendment to the City of Saint Anthony Village City Code to Amend Section
§152.187 Solar Energy Systems. Section §152.187 of the City Code of the City of Saint Anthony Village
is hereby amended as follows. The deleted language is represented by strikethrough text. The additional
language is represented by double underlined text.
§152.187 SOLAR ENERGY SYSTEMS
(A) Purpose. Regulations governing solar energy systems are established to provide for appropriate
locations for solar energy systems, to ensure compatibility with surrounding uses, and to promote safe and
effective use of solar energy to increase opportunities for generation of renewable energy. St. Anthony
Village finds that it is in the public interest to encourage the use and development of renewable energy
systems that enhance energy conservation efforts, but result in limited adverse impacts on nearby
properties. As such, the City supports the use of solar energy systems.
(B) Permitted Uses and Specific Standards
(1) In general. Solar energy systems shall be permitted in those zoning districts where permitted
as an accessory use, subject to the standards of this article. Solar collector surfaces and all mounting
devices shall comply with the minimum yard requirements of the district in which they are located,
unless otherwise specified herein. Screening of solar collector surfaces shall not be required, except
as required in Section 152.187 (C) 1.
(2) Building-mounted solar energy systems.
(a) Zoning district standards.
(1) Residential zoning districts. Notwithstanding the height limitations of the zoning
district, building mounted solar energy systems shall be constructed and maintained at or
below the ridge level of a roof on a structure with a gable, hip, or gambrel roof as long and
not visible from the nearest edge of the street frontage right-of-way other than an alley.
Building- mounted solar energy systems that are visible from the nearest edge of the
street frontage right-of-way shall be flush-mounted and not have a highest finished pitch
steeper than the roof pitch on which the system is mounted, and shall be no higher than
twelve (12) inches above the roof surface. Solar energy systems on all accessory structures
shall be flush-mounted, regardless of the location on the structure.
Building integrated solar energy systems shall be allowed regardless of whether the
system is visible from the public right-of-way, provided the building component in which the
34
Draft revised 5.26.2015
system is integrated meets all required setbacks, land use or performance standards for the
district in which the building is located.
(2) Commercial, industrial and recreational open space (ROS) zoning districts.
Notwithstanding the height limitations of the zoning district, building mounted solar energy
systems shall be constructed and maintained at or below the ridge level of a roof on a
structure with a gable, hip, or gambrel roof and shall not extend higher than ten (10) feet
above the surface of the roof when installed on flat or shed roof.
(b) The solar collector surface and mounting devices for building-mounted solar energy
systems shall be set back not less than one (1) foot from the exterior perimeter of a roof for every
one (1) foot that the system extends above the roof surface on which the system is mounted to
ensure ready roof access in the event of a fire or other safety related occurrence whereby roof
access is needed. Solar energy systems that extend less than one (1) foot above the roof surface
shall be exempt from this provision, however shall be set back from the roof edge by a minimum
of 1 foot.
(c) The collector surface and mounting devices for building-mounted solar energy systems
shall not extend beyond the exterior perimeter of the building on which the system is mounted or
built.
(d) Solar energy systems shall be designed to blend into the architecture of the building to
the maximum extent practical. or be screened from routine view from public rights-of-way other
than alleys. The color of the solar collector is not required to be consistent with the roofing
materials.
(e) Building-mounted systems, excluding building-integrated systems, shall not cover more
than 80% of the roof upon which the panels are mounted to ensure ready roof access in the event
of a fire or other safety occurrence whereby roof access is needed.
(f) A conditional use permit is required for any solar installations in the commercial district,
subject to the conditions and criteria for review in accordance with Section 154.243 (C) of the
City Code.
(3) Freestanding solar energy systems.
(a) Freestanding solar energy systems, measured to the highest point of the system, shall not
exceed ten (10) feet in height and shall meet double the minimum setback requirements of an
accessory structure as outlined in §152.176, as measured from the outermost perimeter of the
solar panel to the property line. Freestanding solar energy systems are only permitted in rear
yards.
(b) In all residential districts, the area of the solar collector surface of freestanding solar
energy systems shall not exceed three (3) percent of the lot area. In all other districts, the area of
the solar collector surface of freestanding solar energy systems shall not exceed five (5) percent
35
Draft revised 5.26.2015
of the lot area. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the maximum area of solar
energy systems shall be calculated independently of the floor area of all other accessory structures
on the zoning lot.
(c) The supporting framework for freestanding solar energy systems shall not include
unfinished lumber.
(4) Lightpole mounted solar energy systems.
(a) Any solar installation on a light pole shall require the issuance of a conditional use permit,
and shall take into account the surrounding land uses, the proposed visual impact, and the
structural integrity relative to size and height of the proposed solar installation. No lightpole
mounted solar installation shall exceed 3 square feet in size.
(C) Design and Performance Standards. In addition to the standards required above, the following
standards shall apply to all solar energy systems.
(1) Compatibility with nearby properties. The visual impact of rooftop equipment on nearby
properties shall be minimized through such means as location on the roof, flush-mounting to the roof,
screening, or other integration into the roof design. Screening shall be of durable permanent materials
that are compatible with the primary building materials. Screening shall be done to the extent
possible without reducing the systems efficiency.
(2) Feeder lines. Any lines accompanying a solar energy systems, other than those attached to
on-site structures by leads, shall be buried within the interior of the subject parcel, unless there are
existing lines in the area which the lines accompanying a solar energy system can be attached. The
Zoning Administrator may grant exemptions to this requirement in instances where shallow bedrock,
water courses, or other elements of the natural landscape interfere with the ability to bury lines.
(3) Maintenance. Solar energy systems shall be kept in good repair and free from damaged
