1 C. CODE AMENDMENT. Request to amend the City(zoning)code for a change from
2 C-1 Commercial to a C-2 Commercial which would allow a change from strictly retail uses
3 to office, commercial, warehouse, and light industrial uses.
4 Chair Bergstrom opened the Public Hearing at 7:14 p.m. and requested a report from Staff.
5 Assistant City Manager Isom reported that the members of the Planning Commission,City Council;
6 Staff,and John Shardlow,of Dahlgren,Shardlow,Uban("DSU")took a bus tour hosted by Hillcrest
7 Development. The tour visited a few of Hillcrest's recent commercial and light industrial
8 developments.
9 Hillcrest Development has requested the following (1) an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan
10 to accommodate an Office/High-tech designation; (2) a petition for new zoning district for the
11 Apache Property from a C-1 Commercial to a C-2 commercial. This would allow a change from
12 strictly retail use to office,commercial,warehouse and light industrial uses; and(3)an amendment
13 to the zoning ordinance for a change from C-1 to a C-2 district. -
14 Subsequent to the tour, the Planning Commission, Staff and the consultant from DSU held a
15 worksession to discuss,the route that would be in the City's best interest. It was determined that the
® 16 best avenue would be to:(1)amend the City's Comprehensive Plan to accommodate an Office/high-
i7 tech designation; (2)change the City Code to allow for Planned Unit Development(PUD); and(3)
18 ask Hillcrest to proceed with the development of Apache Plaza under the newly created PUD
19 process.
20 Chair Bergstrom introduced and welcomed Anthony Gleekel, attorney for Hillcrest Development,
21 and Scott Tankenoff, Hillcrest Development.
- 22 Mr. Gleekel began by explaining that-initially an application had been made to redesignate the area
23 for zoning. The application proposed new zoning for a C-2 district,which application was drafted
24 prior to the City's planner being retained. This application included the opportunity for office,
25 warehouse,and light industrial. However,during discussions with DSU(planner),it was determined
26 that a better approach was needed and he was present to address that issue. It was his intention to
27 simultaneously process the Comprehensive Plan Amendment,Petition for new zoning district,and
28 amendment to zoning ordinance under the new approach recommended by the City's planner.
29 Mr. Gleekel felt that the concept would be acceptable to his client (Hillcrest Development) and
30 would continue to provide the opportunity needed and the flexibility required in order to successfully
31 redevelop Apache Plaza.
32 Mr. Gleekel continued by stating that a letter would be forthcoming announcing the agreed-upon
33 withdrawal, and a guide plan would be drafted.
34 Bergstrom expressed his belief that a PUD would meet Hillcrest Developments needs as well as the
35 City's and essentially benefit all parties.

1 Bergstrom thanked Mr. Gleekel for his information and presentation.
2 In connection with the Comprehensive Plan Amendment,Isom stated that the amendment would be
3 submitted and the action would be that the Planning Commission could make a motion-to proceed
4 with an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan.
5 To offer additional information, Chair Bergstrom introduced Phil Carlson, Dahlgren, Shardlow,
6 Uban(DSU), who was present for John Shardlow.
7 Mr. Carlson stated that he is a senior planner at DSU and was present to provide additional in-
8 formation regarding the Comprehensive Plan amendment, zoning changes, and Planned Unit
9 Developments (PUDs) in John Shardlow's absence.
10 Mr. Carlson presented a zoning map which depicted specific boundaries and zoning requirements
11 and proposals. Mr. Carlson reviewed the map in detail with the Commission and answered ques-
12 tions. Additionally, Mr. Carlson directed the Commission's attention to a document entitled
13 "Proposed Comprehensive Plan Text Change"wherein the proposed changes were highlighted and
14 reviewed. In part,this document stated that a proposal had been brought to the City to convert the
15 former mall(Apache Plaza)to a high-tech office space. In response to changing market conditions,
•'6 the City intends to guide the mall under a new land use plan category, Commercial.Mixed Use, in
_7 order to facilitate.redevelopment.
18 Stille inquired about the stages for change and approval of the Comprehensive Plan.
19 Bergstrom and Mr. Carlson together explained the process of approval of the Comprehensive Plan,
20 which included a recommendation by the Planning Commission to the City Council,-and a good-
21 faith approval by the City Council contingent upon approval by the Metropolitan Council.
22 Ken Soley,2817 Silver Lake,inquired how the PUD arrangement would affect the zoning of the area
23 depicted on the map. Mr.Carlson explained that mixed uses would be allowed in the area,and there
24 were many possibilities which fall into that mixed use. He reassured Mr.Soley that the allowed uses
25 and potential for his property would not change by the PUD arrangement for Apache Plaza.
26 Doug Jones, 2505 Silver Lane, stated that he is a member of the Silver Lake Homeowners Asso-
27 ciation. He mentioned that the Association had held a meeting with Scott Tankenoff and plans
28 regarding the Apache Plaza redevelopment had been discussed.
29 Mr. Jones stated that he was personally concerned that the redevelopment of Apache Plaza did not
30 contain any specific plans for stormwater drainage. Said drainage flows directly into Silver.Lake
31 and Mr.Jones felt that the redevelopment efforts of Apache Plaza were an excellent opportunity to
32 correct and alleviate the existing drainage problems that the residents of Silver Lake have
0 3 experienced in the past. Mr. Jones stated that he would like to have feedback from the Planning
34 Commission about a time during the redevelopment phase when this issue could be addressed._

l Bergstrom responded that the Planning Commission has not been presented with specific,detailed
2 plans for Apache Plaza, but the plans are in the process.
3 Bergstrom added.that he did not believe the City was in a position at this time to direct Hillcrest
4 regarding stormwater drainage from Apache. It has been the City's experience in the past with
5 respect to developments that the City does not retain a stormwater ordinance,and those issues have
6 been referred to Rice Creek. He"would anticipate that would be the process with stormwater and.
7 Apache Plaza as well. Additionally, in the absence of specific design plans, the issue cannot be
8 addressed at this time. However,once the Commission arrives at a certain stage in the PUD process,
9 that would be an appropriate time to discuss stormwater.
10 Mr. Jones stated that a problem that the Silver Lake Homeowners Association has experienced of
11 which the Commission might not be aware, is that the requirements that were made of the earlier
12 development by OPUS have not been met and those issues have not been addressed. Mr. Jones
13 continued by stating that water has been bypassing the ponds that were created and, consequently,
14 frustration has been experienced and Mr.Jones urged the Commission to carefully review the issues
15 at hand.
16 Bergstrom offered that Rice Creek has the resources to battle these problems and to effectively
7 alleviate these types of-complaints.
18 In this respect, Bergstrom asked that Mr. Jones coordinate with Assistant City Manager Isom to
19 provide Isom with any letters and documentation necessary in order to work effectively with Rice
20 Creek on this matter.
21 Jake, 3800 Apache Lane,stated that he is anxious for the redevelopment of Apache Plaza to occur.
22 However, he was concerned that since specific details about the 'redevelopment had not been
- , 23 provided to.the Commission.as of this date, he felt the proposed,changes in the.zoning.could.be.._
24 premature. In addition,he inquired about the proposed uses of the land and felt that the scope and
25 definition of the PUD was too broad.
26 Bergstrom responded that a PUD is a signed agreement between a property owner and the City,and
27 the City would have a significant amount of control over the potential uses of the property.
28 Additionally, Bergstrom stated that any redevelopment would be done within the context of the
29 surrounding area so that issues are not created regarding conflicting land use. The main reason,he
30 stated,that the City is considering the revised land designation has to do with the range of uses that
31 Hillcrest Development is contemplating for the redevelopment of Apache Plaza.
32 Mr.Carlson(DSU)wished to clarify that under the current zoning requirements,there is less control
33 by the City over which businesses choose to utilize the zoning uses. Under a PUD, he stated, the
4 rules change and the City would be able to utilize more control over the property.
35 Jim Waters,Quest Real Estate,wished to state that he represented the owners of the Apache Medical
36 Building, and expressed the support of the owners of the building toward the redevelopment of

1 Apache Plaza. In addition,he stated,his clients would like to work with City Staff about the impact
2 of the redevelopment as the process goes forward.
3 After calling for additional input from the audience and hearing none, Chair Bergstrom closed the
4 public hearing at 7:55 p.m.
5 Chair Bergstrom asked for Commissioner comments.
6 Hanson offered that he would view the PUD as providing the City additional control over the
7 property. Additionally, he believed the PUD would provide leverage for the City to work toward
8 the improvement of water quality and to deal with those issues, as opposed to simply rezoning the
9 property.
10 Motion by Stille, second by Thomas, to approve the amendment to the Comprehensive Plan as
11 proposed in the document prepared by Dahlgren, Shardlow, Uban (entitled "Proposed Compre-
12 hensive Plan Text Change").
13 Motion carried unanimously.
14 Chair Bergstrom directed City.Staff to work with the consultant(DSU)to submit this proposed
•
15 amendment to the City Council at the meeting scheduled for Tuesday, April 25, 2000, for review
16 and/or approval.
17 2. PUBLIC HEARING. A request for approval of a conditional use permit to allow con-
18 struction of a wireless antenna on the Apache Medical Building, 4001 Stinson Boulevard.
19 Chair Bergstrom opened the public hearing at 7:57 p.m. and requested a report from Staff.
20 Assistant City Manager Isom stated that Nextel Communications is requesting a conditional use
21 permit to allow construction of a wireless antenna site for their telecommunications network. Jim
22 Nelson of Buell Consulting, Inc. is in attendance at the meeting as a representative of Nextel
23 Communications.
24 Nextel Communications has reached an agreement with the owners of Apache Medical'Building for
25 the placement of three sets of panel antennas. Additionally, City Ordinance 1160.02 requires a
26 conditional use permit for telecommunications antennas.
27 Bergstrom added that Mr. Nelson had previously presented a concept review to the Planning
28 Commission at the regular meeting in March 2000.
029 Chair Bergstrom introduced and welcomed Mr.Jim Nelson,Buell Consulting and representative for
.o Nextel Communication and invited him to address the Commission.
31 Mr. Nelson presented a photographic rendering of the proposed installation on the roof of the
32 Apache Medical Building. The depiction indicated a mechanical room and the antenna installation,

1 as well as an equipment building. Mr.Nelson presented several photographs of the side,front,and
2 back views of the building with the proposed additions to the roof.
3 Additionally,Mr.Nelson stated that the maximum allowable height above the building is 18 feet per
4 City Ordinance. However, he stated that the antennas are expected to cap at 16 feet. Also, Mr.
5 Nelson stated that an engineer has reviewed the design and specifications and a letter has been
6 drafted and signed to the effect that the building is capable of supporting the proposed installation.. .
7 Chair Bergstrom thanked Mr.Nelson for his input and presentation.
8 Upon calling for additional input from the audience and hearing none, Chair Bergstrom closed the
9 public hearing at 8:08 p.m.
10 Bergstrom asked for comments from the Commissioners.
11 Thomas offered that his main consideration was aesthetics and he would like clarification as to how
12 that issue would be managed.
13 Mr.Nelson offered that the panels,as well as the mounting materials,would be painted in a manner
14 in which to resemble the building and to coordinate with the aesthetics of the building.
15 Motion by Bergstrom, second by Hanson, that the Conditional Use Permit for antenna placement
16 at 4001 Stinson Boulevard is recommended by the Planning Commission for the following reasons:
17 (1) The proposed conditional use permit is one of the conditional uses specifically listed for the
18 zoning district in which it is to be located;
19 (2). --The proposed conditional use will not be.detrimental.to the health,safety,or general welfare
20 of persons resident or working in the vicinity or injurious to property values or im-
21 provements in the vicinity;
22 (3) The proposed conditional use is necessary or desirable at the above location to provide a
23 service or a facility which is in the interest of public convenience and will contribute to the
24 general welfare of the neighborhood or community; and
25 (4) The installation equipment shall be painted in a color that coordinates with the building; and
26 (5) The operation and maintenance of this equipment shall not be deleterious to other existing
27 electronic communications in the City.
28 Motion carried unanimously.
•
29 Bergstrom reminded Mr.Nelson that the issue of a conditional use permit for Nextel Communi-
30 cations will be presented to the City Council at the April 25,2000 meeting. Additionally,he
d
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes
April 18, 2000
Page 7
1 stated that a representative from the Planning Commission would be present to review this issue
2 with the City Council at the meeting scheduled for April 25, 2000.
3 In this respect, Chair Bergstrom requested that Commissioner Hanson attend the City Council
4 meeting.on April 25, 2000 as the Planning Commission Liaison.
5 In returning to the issue of a PUD in connection with the redevelopment of Apache Plaza, Chair
6 Bergstrom invited Mr. Carlson (DSU) to speak further about the potential zoning changes and
7 explanation of a PUD.
8 Mr. Carlson stated that in developing a PUD as a zoning district, three key words are incorporated
9 into the plan: (1)flexibility;(2)mixed use;and(3)one or more parcels. Additionally,he stated that
10 the City would have greater discretion in connection with the PUD than it would have with a simple
11 zoning change.
12 In this regard,Mr. Carlson directed the Commission's attention to a handout comprising of Section
13 1655 regarding Planned Unit Developments. In essence, a Planned Unit Development (PUD) is a
14 zoning district which may include.single or mixed uses, one.or more lots or parcels, intended to
15 create a more flexible, creative, and efficient approach to the use of land and subject to the
•'6 procedures, standards, and regulations:
17 Mr. Carlson continued by reviewing Section 1655 in detail with the Commission and offering ex-
18 planations and insights into the specifics of the Section..
19 Additionally, Mr. Carlson would recommend to City Staff that an agreement be drafted in a form
20 similar to one that has been presented to the Commission. In other words,an agreement that depicts
21 rezoning to a set of drawings specific to a certain project. He proceeded to review certain terms and
22 conditions that-he would recommend be incorporated into the agreement..
23 Bergstrom mentioned that the City has incorporated a park dedication ordinance for residential
24 zoning districts. To the extent that a residential section would be allowed within the contemplated
25 PUD,he in if the 10%park dedication ordinance would be in effect. Mr. Carlson responded
26 that it would depend upon the specific wording for the PUD,but would be worthwhile to investigate
27 the possibility further.
28 Mr.Carlson stated that he would coordinate with City Manager Michael Morrison and Assistant City
29 Manager Spencer Isom to arrive at a satisfactory park dedication figure.
30 Additionally,Morrison offered that the City would need to define a certain area for the Metropolitan
31 Council to review.
102 Morrison suggested that the Planning Commission incorporate a minimum lot size as a consideration
33 for the PUD, as well as potential language regarding park dedication requirements.

1 Regarding a development review committee,Momson requested that Mr.Carlson inform him of the
2 members of the committee. Mr.Carlson suggested members of the Planning Commission,plus City
3 Staff, but would confirm that suggestion with Momson upon further inquiry.
4 Hanson confirmed that a developers agreement would be entered into if the City Council approved
5 the PUD.
6 Thomas confirmed that the PUD would allow for Hillcrest to begin the redevelopment of the Apache
7 Plaza, but would continue to allow the City to obtain public input on how the rest of the property
8 would be developed.
9 Mr. Carlson responded that the PUD could be phrased as strict or as lenient as the City deemed
10 appropriate.
11 Mr. Jones stated his belief the importance of viewing the entire parcel as a PUD.
12 Bergstrom asked DSU and City Staff to work together to arrive at a reasonable minimum standard.
13 Hanson expressed his impression that the purpose of the PUD would be to allow Hillcrest to develop
14 inside a box,so to speak,but that the City would have input regarding the development of the outlots
in the future. He.expressed his belief that such language should be incorporated into the PUD or
16 developers agreement.
17 Bergstrom responded that since Hillcrest is unsure about the particular development of the outlots
18 for the future, it would be an excellent idea to incorporate language to cover all aspects.
19 Momson agreed that the City should consider all of the property that Hillcrest owns when devel-
-20 oping the'PUD. Additionally,Morrison stated that if Hillcrest were at some,point_to relinquish the
21 property back to US Bank, the potential for subdivision of the property would be an issue.
22 Mr.Gleekel addressed the Commission and explained the process.that Hillcrest Development would
23 be starting and the issues that would be addressed in the application.
24 Mr. Tankenoff addressed the Commission and stated that his goal as coordinator of the process is
25 to determine and consider the concerns that the residents around Silver Lake have,as well as work
26 with Rice Creek about stormwater runoff.
27 Mr. Tankenoff reconfirmed that an introductory meeting had been held with the Silver Lake
28 Homeowners Association and he anticipated continued meetings. He wondered if there were other
29 neighborhoods or associations that had concerns and,if so,he would be prepared to meet with them
30 as well.
31 Bergstrom acknowledged that Mr. Tankenoff has done an excellent job of due diligence and in-
32 forming the residents,City Council,Planning Commission and the community of the progress with
33 the redevelopment of Apache Plaza.

9 IX. COMMISSION INPUT.
10 Tillmann expressed support for the PUD process. Additionally,she stated that she felt the meeting
11 with the City Council held at 5:30 p.m. that day was beneficial and she would encourage more
12 meetings to promote excellent communication.
13 Hanson felt that the PUD would be a positive enhancement for the City and would provide more
14 control for the City in the future. Additionally, he felt it was important to resolve the stormwater
5 . runoff issue; and he would request additional public input and more town meetings.
•
16 Also,he would request that City Staff check into the businesses that are not complying with runoff
17 issues, are not up to Code, and how Code enforcement could be accomplished.
18 Thomas followed up on the stormwater issue by stating that the City would need to review this issue
19 because it was recently apparent that the water runs into the streets.
20 Additionally, he is pleased that the.City is-pursuing a PUD-and suggested an outreach.program to
21 provide additional education to the public about PUDs. He would also like for the City to obtain
22 additional public input regarding the redevelopment of Apache Plaza.
23 Stille did not have any comments.
24 Bergstrom noted that the structure of the Commission's agenda packets was different and he
25 commended Isom on the excellent organization. He asked Assistant City Manager Isom to inquire
26 about the reason behind the late delivery of the packets.
27 Bergstrom noted that the Mayor had presented a three-ring binder to Commission which housed a
28 variety of information useful to the Commissioners. Bergstrom directed Assistant City Manager
29 Isom to arrange for copying of the notebook and distribution to the Commissioners.
• 1 Hanson stated that, in reviewing the broadcast of the City Council meeting held on April 11,2000,
31 he noted the interesting fact that certain residents within the City were opposed to sidewalks.
32 Furthermore,he inquired about the possibility of placing a copy of the Comprehensive Plan on the
33 City's website.

17 review the recent bid tabulation for the project at 33rd Avenue, Silver Lake Road to Stinson.
18 Mr. Foertsch approached the Council and stated that bids had been solicited and opened on April
19 14 in connection with the 33rd Avenue Street Improvement Project.
20 In this respect, Mr. Foertsch directed the Council's attention to a letter dated April 18, 2000 from
21 SEH/RCM in which the recent bid tabulation was set forth. In essence,three bids were consid-
22 ered, and"Tenson Construction, Inc."had presented the lowest bid($623,707.00). The engi-
23 neer's original estimate for the construction portion of the project was $590,969.00.
24 In response to.a question posed by Cavanaugh regarding funding sources, Morrison directed the
25 Council's attention to page 26 of the Agenda packet, which was a memorandum from Finance
26 Director Roger Larson dated April 19,2000 regarding funding for the project. In short,Mr. Lar-
27 son's memorandum stated that he was confident that the MSA funds available are adequate to
28 fund and support the four projects anticipated. Those projects are: (1) Silver Lake Bridge Proj-
29 ect; (2) Signal Light(37th and Highcrest); (3)29th Avenue Street Project(MSA Bond); and(4)
30 33rd Avenue Project(which would also include an internal loan).
•31 Thuesen expressed concern that the City would be utilizing all of the MSA funds available for
32 current projects; leaving little or zero funds available for future projects. Morrison replied that
33 over the past five years,the City has updated many or most of the MSA roads, and even though
34 other projects will be considered for the future,there should not be a conflict for the use of funds.

7 Cavanaugh expressed some concern over the outcome of the current Legislative session and the
8 possibilities for funding that are tied to the results of that session. He discussed various altema-
9 tives in the case that the funding would be different that what is anticipated.

i financial condition.continues to remain strong. The operating funds of the City, consisting of the
2 General Fund, Special Revenue,Debt Service, and Capital Project funds remained healthy. The
3 City's proprietary funds (enterprise funds -- liquor and utility)also improved.as a result of opera-
4 tions for the year. The strong financial condition of the City is reflected in the bond rating re-
5 ceived by the City from Moody's investors Services.
6 Additionally,the general fund balance as of December 31, 1999 showed an increase of 32.50%
7 from the prior year. Furthermore, revenues exceeded expenditures and Mr. Bonniwell.proceeded

10 nying financial statements, but he reviewed the specific transfers and the amounts relating thereto
1 I with the Council as set forth in his letter of March 28, 2000. In concluding his presentation,Mr.
12 Bonniwell reviewed the balance of said letter with the Council and fielded additional questions.

14 Hodson expressed interest in reviewing the City's portfolio and Cavanaugh agreed that was an
5 excellent idea.
16 Cavanaugh acknowledged that there was an action item to be addressed regarding approval of the
17 above-mentioned transfers.
18 Motion by Horst to approve the transfers reflected on page 5 of Stuart Bonniwell's letter of
19 March 28, 2000,and set forth below:

29 Motion carried unanimously.
30 Cavanaugh inquired about potential transfers of liquor profits for park improvements. Momson'
i stated that the City would require funds for Central Park improvements; however,the dollars
could be placed in the General Fund with the flexibility for transfers, or the funds could remain
33 in the liquor fund and continue to have flexibility.

1 Horst agreed the.liquor fund was an excellent source for park improvement dollars. Mr.
2 Bonniwell offered that the Council is at liberty to use the funds, change designations, etc.
3 Cavanaugh mentioned that he would prefer to leave the dollars in the liquor fund and go forward
4 knowing all the resources are in place and that flexibility has not been sacrificed.
5 Motion by Thuesen to approve the 1999 City Audit as presented by Stuart Bonniwell.
6 Motion carried unanimously.

8 City Manager Michael Morrison stated that the public hearing for the 2001 Budget took place at
9 this meeting(April 25, 2000) as opposed to the typical hearing held in October. This was in-
10 tended to allow the public to offer input and pose ideas for the upcoming budget, as well as allow
11 the City time to implement those ideas and suggestions.
12 In this respect, Morrison presented the Budget Schedule for the 2001 Budget, as noted on page 40
13 of the agenda packets,which presented important dates and a timeline for each action required by
the City.
15 Mayor Cavanaugh and City Manager Michael Morrison thanked the City Staff in attendance at
16 the meeting for being available to provide for a smooth process in evaluating the 2001 Budget.
17 Horst cautioned that he believed the City needed to be careful about potential over management
18 of the budget. In other words, that the department heads should be directly involved with the
19 budgeting process of their specific department. He was concerned about overstepping
20 boundaries with City Staff about goals and objectives.
21 Cavanaugh clarified that the Council is simply searching for input from City Staff and would not
22 interfere with the management of the departments. Cavanaugh felt that the work session in ques-
23 tion would promote dialogue and awareness amongst the Council and Staff.

Page 8
1 submitted on March 21, 2000.
2 Mr. Gleekel's letter further stated that Hillcrest withdrew the Petition, as the City will
3 adopt a new mixed use Planned Unit Development Ordinance, and Hillcrest will make an
4 application for the Property to be rezoned to PUD. Additionally,Mr. Gleekel expressed
5 his understanding in the letter that Hillcrest's general concept plan for PUD zoning will
6 be before the Planning Commission on May 16, 2000 and he would be contacting
7 Assistant City Manager Spencer Isom about the timing of the submittal of the PUD
8 application.
9 Mornson welcomed Mr. Hanson and invited him to address the Council. Mr. Hanson di-
10 rected the Council's attention to page 66 of the agenda packet, which depicted a memo
I 1 randum from Assistant City Attorney Spencer Isom dated March 24, 2000. In said
12 memo, it was stated that Hillcrest was seeking approval of the following: (1)Amendment
13 to the Comprehensive Plan; (2)Petition for new zoning district from a C-1 Commercial
14 to a C-2 Commercial; and (3) Amendment to the zoning ordinance for a change to the
15 property district from C-1 to C-2. Mr. Hanson noted that Hillcrest had withdrawn request
•16 nos.2 and 3, and the Amendment to the Comprehensive Plan was simply before the
17 Council today.
18 Furthermore, recently the members of the Planning Commission, City Council, Staff, and
19 John Shardlow of Dahlgren, Shardlow,Uban(DSU)took a bus tour hosted by Hillcrest
20 Development. Subsequent to the tour, it was determined that the route that would be in
21 the City's best interest with respect to the redevelopment of Apache Plaza would be to:
22 (1)Amendment the Comprehensive Plan to accommodate an Office/High-tech
23 -designation(mentioned above); (2) change the City Code to allow for a PUD; and(3)
24 - request that Hillcrest proceed with the development of Apache Plaza under the newly-
25 created PUD process.
26 At the Planning Commission meeting on April 18,2000, Mr. Gleekel spoke to the Co m-
27 mission and stated that the concept would be acceptable.to his client(Hillcrest Develop-
28 ment)and would continue to.provide the opportunity needed and the flexibility required
29 in order to successfully redevelop Apache Plaza. .
30 The Planning Commission held a public hearing at the April 18,2000 meeting and re-
31 ceived input from three members of the audience. Those comments are noted in the Min-

1 meeting and clarified that under the current zoning requirements,there is-less control by
2 the City over which businesses choose to.utilize the zoning uses. Under.a PUD,the rules
3 change and the City would be able to utilize more control over the property.
4 Mr. Hanson stated that in response to concerns of some residents around Silver Lake re-
5 garding stormwater runoff,he had expressed his belief at the Planning Commission
6 meeting that the PUD would provide leverage for the City to work toward the
7 improvement of water quality and deal more effectively with those issues, as opposed to
8 simply rezoning the property.
9 Mr. Hanson directed the Council's attention to a document prepared by DSU entitled
10 "Proposed Comprehensive Plan Tex Change"and invited the Council to review the text.
11 Lastly, Mr. Hanson stated that the Planning Commission(in a motion by Stille and sec-
12 onded by Thomas),had approved the Amendment to the Comprehensive Plan as
13 proposed in the document prepared by DSU and the Resolution is now before the Council
14 for approval.

16 the Comprehensive Plan, and that the Council was simply approving the Amendment on
17 the expectation that it would be approved by the Metropolitan Council.
18 Thuesen noted Mr. Hanson's comment in the Planning Commission meeting minutes of
19 April 18 regarding stormwater runoff from Apache Plaza, and inquired about the process
20 to address that issue.
21 Mr. Hanson stated that Scott Tankenoff, Managing Partner of Hillcrest Development,has
22 contacted the Rice Creek Watershed District and has begun a dialogue regarding the .
23 stormwater issue and that this subject could be addressed in the Developers Agreement.
24 Mr. Hanson offered his understanding that Mr. Tankenoff intended to go above the
25 standards provided by Rice Creek in connection with water quality.
26 Cavanaugh suggested that the document prepared by DSU entitled"Proposed Compre-
27 hensive Plan Text Change"include a heading"Amendment to St. Anthony's Comprehen-
28 sive Plan".
29 Motion by Horst to approve Resolution 00-032, a Resolution Approving an Amendment

13 runoff issue seriously and intends to meet or exceed the standards that Rice Creek
14 expects.
15 For the record, Mornson stated that occasionally concerns arise with regard to the funds
16 spent on consultants and other professionals that represent the City's interest in redevel-
17 opment projects. He wished to state that the City has a reimbursement agreement with
18 Hillcrest Development for said fees expended in connection with the redevelopment.
19 Cavanaugh thanked Mr. Tankenoff for his progress report and expressed the Council's
20- appreciation.for.his excellent work to.date.

5 antennas and expressed concern about the utilization of the water tower for placements.
6 In this respect,Mr. Hanson introduced Jim Nelson of Buell Consulting, acting as a repre-
7 sentative for Nextel Communications. Mr.Nelson addressed Thuesen's concern by stat-
8 ing that typically a space of approximately 15-20 feet must be maintained between
9 similar antennas. The issue at hand becomes compounded by the structure itself.
10 Mr. Hanson reviewed the Minutes from the April 18,2000 Planning Commission
11 meeting wherein the Conditional Use.Permit requested by Nextel Communications was
12 approved upon motion by Bergstrom, and seconded by Hanson.

1 V. COMMUNITY FORUM.
2 Mayor Cavanaugh introduced Ms. Helen Cullen, 2836 Roosevelt Street, and invited her to ad-
3 dress the Council. Ms. Cullen presented photographs of examples of snow buildup that had
4 occurred on her property over the past winter. She pointed out that there was an enormous
5 buildup of snow due to the low area of the property. She requested that the City arrange to have .
6 the highest points of the snow buildup removed because she feels it presents a potentially danger-
7' ous situation for oncoming traffic. Otherwise,Ms. Cullen wished to commend the Public Works
8 Department for the excellent performance in snow removal during the winter months.
9 Mayor Cavanaugh thanked Ms. Cullen for her input and noted that Public Works Director Jay
10 Hartman was in the audience and had made a note of her request.
11 VI. CONSENT AGENDA.
12 Motion by Horst,to approve the Consent Agenda as presented, which included:
13 1. City Council Regular Meeting Minutes of March 14, 2000;
14 2. Licenses/Permits/Petitions;
15 3. Seven pages of verified claims;
16 4. Resolution 00-026, re: Voting tabulator lease agreement with Hennepin County.
17 Motion carried unanimouslv.
18 VII. PUBLIC HEARINGS.
19 A. Resolution 00-028, re: 29th Avenue NE Sidewalk, Lighting, and Landscaping.
20 Mayor Cavanaugh opened the public hearing at 7:24 p.m.
21 Cavanaugh reviewed for the audience the purpose of holding the public_hearing, which is to e-
22 ceive public input on a proposed plan on sidewalk, lighting, and planting improvements proposed
23 to be made in conjunction with the street and utility improvements to 29th Avenue NE.
24 Additionally, Cavanaugh stated,this is the second time a similar proposal has come before the
25 Council. The previous proposal was not approved because it appeared to present various hard-
26 ships to residents.on the South side of 29th Avenue. However, certain aspects of the project have
27 changed and the sidewalks are proposed to be installed on the North side of 29th Avenue. There
28 is more public right of way on that side, and the City desired to reconsider the sidewalk issue in
29 accordance with the City's Comprehensive Plan.
30 Furthermore,the City's Comprehensive Plan is specific about sidewalks being included along
31 major streets, together with other streetscape improvements. Additionally, installation of side-
32 walks would facilitate transit service and would provide a safety zone for pedestrians.
• 33 Cavanaugh recapped that the City's Comprehensive Plan strongly recommends sidewalks for the
34 community,particularly on major corridors.

1 Mayor Cavanaugh introduced Todd Hubmer, WSB &Associates, and invited him to address.the
2 Council and the audience. .
3 Mr. Hubmer stated that he was present to provide the specific details of the sidewalks, lighting,
4 and landscaping. In this respect, Mr. Hubmer presented a drawing of the proposed reconstruction.
5 of 29th Avenue, from Silver Lake to Stinson, and Crestview to County Road 88.
6 Mr. Hubmer reviewed the concept plan by stating that there would be two, 12-foot drive lanes,
7 with 8 feet of parking on both sides of the street. Additionally, the boulevard on the north side
8 would be 6-feet,with a five-foot sidewalk. Also,the width of the road would be reduced to im-
9 plement traffic calming. In other words, the road in various places would be narrowed with the
10 implementation of chokers to reduce traffic speeds,together with the addition of tree planting
11 along the boulevard to provide a calming effect to drivers.
12 Along this line, Mr. Hubmer presented various photographs of options for decorative lighting.
13 Mayor Cavanaugh invited to audience to ask informal questions of Mr. Hubmer. Various ques-
®14 'tions were fielded, including one resident with a.suggestion.to inform residents of the types of
i plantings that are being considered by the City.
16 Mayor Cavanaugh invited the residents wishing to speak to the Council to come forward.
17 Don N. Johnson, 2816 29th Avenue, stated his purpose in attending the meeting was to raise the
18 point that the sidewalk issue was discussed and decided last year. He questioned the need for
19 adding the sidewalk and felt that personally he had elected the Council to listen to and represent
20 - the residents. He did not feel the addition.of a sidewalk would cause.a net gain and.sincerely__
21 questioned the wisdom of the proposal.
22 Richard Perrin, 3217 29th Avenue, stated that he brought questions and comments to the
23 Council. Last fall,Mr. Perrin stated that the majority of the residents of 29th Avenue signed a
24 petition against sidewalks. .The residents instead desired more trees, additional stop signs, and
25 the intersections to be made more visible. It was his impression that the Council planned to
26 consider those ideas. He suggested that the Council take a survey of the residents to see how
27 many take the bus and would continue to take the bus once'the route is changed. Additionally,
28 Mr. Perrin was concerned about adding more concrete to the City's impervious surfaces and
29 causing more stormwater runoff.
30 Kim Tillmann,2904 Crestview Drive, stated that she is a member of the Planning Commission,
31 but is not speaking to the Council in that capacity,but rather as a resident of the City. Ms. Till-
12 mann wished to state her support of the sidewalks. When she and her family moved to St.
,3 Anthony about four years ago from Northeast Minneapolis, she stated that she missed having
34 sidewalks,but stated that she has enjoyed every other amenity of residing in St. Anthony. Ms.

1 Tillmann stated her point is that she feels that sidewalks would give a sense of community
2 feeling and provide a common-ground on which people could meet.
3 Lorraine Mlekoday, 2608 29th Avenue, wished to echo the sentiments of Mr. Perrin and Mr.
4 Johnson. Her recollection from last year was that the majority of residents did not wish to have
5 sidewalks. Although she understood the need to view the community as a whole, she does not
6 see the need for sidewalks. She inquired if the Council was aware of any pedestrian accidents
7 along 29th Avenue.
8 Julie Kimbllin, 2705 29th Avenue, held up a copy of a petition that was presented to the Council
9 last year. She was informed last year that the Council had listened,that the community had spo-
10 ken, and she was disappointed that this issue had arisen again. She agreed that she enjoyed
11 having sidewalks when she lived in Minneapolis,but doesn't feel that adding sidewalks to 29th
12 Avenue would create the community feeling because it already exists.
13 Michele Schram, 3305 29th Avenue, stated that she spoke to all the neighbors on her block, and
14 that two families were in favor of the sidewalks, two were opposed, and two were elderly ladies
�15 that were unsure. She stated she has listened to the neighbors,but the sidewalks would solve a
16 safety issue. Kids ride their bikes in the street and safety becomes a significant factor.
17 Judy Makoweske, 2919 Rankin Road, stated that she lives three houses from 29th Avenue. She
18 expressed her appreciation to the Council for revisiting the sidewalk issue because she had been
19 unaware of the issue last year. The only residents that were specifically notified were the resi-
20 dents that live on 29th Avenue. In any event, Ms. Makoweske stated that she walks 29th Avenue
21 on a regular basis and has become aware that it is a dangerous street in which to walk. Cars
22 -travel at.a significant speed.and-she views the street as.potentially_.dangerous and would-welcome
23 a sidewalk. She understands that the addition of sidewalks could impose a slight burden on some .
24 residents in terms of shorter yards,but felt that the safety factor made up for the imposition.
25 After calling for additional input from the audience and hearing none,Mayor Cavanaugh closed
26 the.public hearing at 8:02 p.m.
27 Horst felt this issue needed to be discussed further in light of the concerns of the residents. Addi-
28 tionally, Horst stated that he had been a member of the Planning Commission when the City's
29 Comprehensive Plan was adopted. The Plan came from ideas derived from the community and
30 the Planning Commission attempted to maintain and foster a feeling of community in St.
31 Anthony. The idea was to have sidewalks around the City so that residents could move freely
32 about, and this has been successfully done in other parts of the City,and without as much
•33 objection.
34 Although Horst stated he was not involved in the prior public hearings regarding the sidewalk
35 issue,he was trying to keep an open mind,yet continue to follow the agreed-upon
29
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
April 11,2660
Page 5
i Comprehensive Plan and recommendations of the community as a whole. Additionally, Horst
2 expressed confusion regarding the objection to sidewalks in light of the potential-benefits to the
3 residents particularly once decorative lighting and appropriate landscaping were implemented.
4 Sparks offered that, in looking back, it would have been beneficial to have had an informal meet- .
5 ing with the residents to present the concept and inquire if compromises could be discussed and
6 acceptance could be obtained. Sparks agreed with Michele Schram regarding the potential safety
7 issues in having busy streets without sidewalks. In this respect, Sparks relayed an incident she
8 had witnessed recently where a mother was walking on the street,pulling a wagon with children.
9 Unbeknownst to the mother, one of the children climbed out of the wagon and, .consequently,
10 into the street. Luckily there were not any cars close by, but the potential was there for an
11 accident to occur.
12 Additionally, Sparks relayed that she had performed research on her own regarding safety and
13 sidewalks. The research concluded that the residents at the highest risk for pedestrian accidents
14 were senior citizens. Sparks believed that if the City and residents could find a way to
15 implement sidewalks that it would be worth the effort,particularly in light of safety.
® ; Hodson offered that he is new to the Council and this issue, but has observed the resistance
17 expressed at this meeting to the sidewalks. Although he agreed with Sparks about the potential
18 safety issues without sidewalks, he asked the residents in attendance if that would be a compro-
19 mise available. One suggestion,he offered, was to incorporate a bike/walk path along the side of
20 the street that could be used specifically for walking and/or biking. The area could still be
21 calmed with trees and landscaping.
22 Cavanaugh noted Councilmember Brian Thuesen's absence,but wished to state that Thuesen
23 was supportive of the project. Cavanaugh noted that of the residents who spoke before the
24 Council, five were against, and three were supportive of the project. Additionally, Cavanaugh
25 stated that he had received a letter from someone that resides at 25th and Harding,that supported
26 sidewalks on every major street, and he had participated in discussions with other residents that
27 were supportive of the project.
28 Cavanugh continued by stating that the Council has attempted to address the outstanding issues
29 along 29th Avenue,which include the speed of traffic and to make the street have a more
30 residential appearance by installing decorative lighting and landscaping. This project could set
31 the standard for other streets regarding uniformity in lighting and landscaping.
32 Cavanaugh reassured the audience that he believed that Council is listening to the community.be-
33 cause the community has spoken through the City's Comprehensive Plan. Cavanaugh agreed
• 4 with-Sparks and her suggestion to have more informal input from the public. Additionally,
35 Cavanaugh would suggest that the Parks Commission work with the community on the standards
36 of the lighting issue so that all.streets would have the same lighting package.

1 Horst expressed motivation to move forward with the project, however, he had concern that this
2 was the first.public testimony heard and he would like.to discuss it further with the community.
3 Various informal questions were fielded from the audience. One resident asked about the poten-
4 tial cost from the project to individual homeowners. Mr. Hubmer responded to the question by
5 stating that 29th Avenue is a state-aid street and the funds have been allocated. However, upon
6 further investigation of state-aid standards,he will be able to determine if the City would be re-
7 sponsible for the cost difference between decorative lighting and standard lighting. In other
8 words, there is the possibility that state-aid would cover only the cost for standard lighting.
9 Horst reaffirmed that the basic construction of the sidewalks and landscaping would be the City's
10 expense. Additionally, Horst stated that the City would shoulder the responsibility for mainte-
11 nance of the sidewalks.
12 Hodson reiterated his earlier comment that he would like additional feedback from the
13 community regarding other options that would be acceptable, and he asked for specific
14 comments.
1015 Horst agreed that this issue was argued substantially last year,but he felt it was a reasonable con-
16 sideration to revisit this issue and was surprised that the residents did not feel the addition of
17 sidewalks would be an amenity.
18 A resident from the audience stated that privacy was an important issue with most residents be-
19 cause the sidewalk would be close to the front of the homes along 29th Avenue, and she did not
20 believe a safety factor should be a factor.
21 Horst responded that safety was an issue because,with the current street improvements,pedestri-
22 ans would be forced closer to traffic.
23 Sparks confirmed that chokers were a feature desired by the residents, and that the Council could
24 have actually added more,but that it would decrease the amount of space in which pedestrians
25 would.have to walk.
26 Cavanaugh explained that the sidewalks are included in the project through state-aid because
27 29th Avenue is considered to be a main thoroughfare. 29th Avenue,he stated,would take on the
28 characteristics of an internal residential street, even though it is a busy road. The sidewalks
29 would be intended to act as a refuge and, in conjunction with the chokers and trees,would make
30 the street have a more residential feel and would calm traffic. Sidewalks on major streets arein
• 31 the City's Comprehensive Plan,he stated, and the Comprehensive Plan was directed by the
32 community. Although Cavanaugh stated the proposed plan is not perfect,he believed it to be a
33 fair plan.

1 Julie Kimbllin,2705 29th Avenue, inquired if four-foot sidewalks would be possible (instead of
2 a_five-foot), and a possible reduction of the boulevard from six feet.
3 Mr. Hubmer responded that the typical sidewalk is five feet to allow for passing and the width of
4 . the boulevard would assist in reducing the potential for roots from trees to invade the concrete.
5 Hodson stated that he would be comfortable going forward with the project if the community
6 could be involved in the development process.
7 Cavanaugh stated that the purpose at hand is to agree to a concept, and then develop the specifics
8 and details at another time. In other words, if the concept plan was approved, and the community
9 and City can find a way to modify the width of the boulevard and sidewalk, that would be the
10 core and the next step would be the specifics of the plantings and lighting.
11 Mr. Hubmer explained that he would review the state-aid requirements to determine if there was
12 a possibility of reducing the boulevard width and/or the sidewalk width.
13 Sparks suggested presenting a series of plans to offer the residents to review some design alterna-
• 4 tives.
15 Horst reminded the Council that the concept needed to be adopted first. Hodson expressed his
16 support for the project if the residents could be involved in the process.
17 Cavanaugh agreed with Sparks that, once the concept was agreed-upon, that various options
18 could be presented to the residents.
19 Motion by Hodson to approve Resolution 00-0281 wherein the City Council of the City of St.
20 Anthony hereby approves the construction of sidewalk and lighting, planting improvements in
21 conjunction with the Year 2000 street project on 29th Avenue NE, with the understanding that
22 the City Council will involve the community members in the process.
23 Motion carried unanimously.
24 Mayor Cavanaugh called a recess at 9:04 p.m.
25 Mayor Cavanaugh called the meeting to order at 9:10 p.m.
26 Cavanaugh announced that Scott Tankenoff,Hillcrest Development,was in the audience and de-
27 sired to provide the Council with an update on Apache Plaza. In this respect, Cavanaugh invited
•`8 Mr. Tankenoff to address the Council.

1 Mr. Tankenoff began by stating that the bus tour scheduled with the Planning Commission mem-
2 bers,the City Council, Staff and-John Shardlow(City's consulting planner)had been a success
3 and provided an opportunity for viewing past projects completed by Hillcrest Development. He
4 believed it gave the participants a vision of what the Apache redevelopment could become.
5 Additionally, Mr. Tankenoff stated that Hillcrest has completed due diligence regarding Apache,
6 and has become aware of the physical issues and environmental aspects of the building. The
7 next few weeks will be critical as far as progress, he stated. Furthermore, Mr. Tankenoff stated
8 that he had an excellent introductory meeting with the Silver Lake Homeowner's Association,
9 who is also involved with the water quality task force. He felt he had obtained a clear
10 understanding of the goals and objectives those residents are searching for and he anticipates
11 additional meetings. Mr. Tankenoff s anticipates that the Apache project will solve some of the
12 residents' concerns and issues.
13 Horst wished to express his appreciation for the opportunity to have visited some of Hillcrest
14 Development's completed projects. He was impressed with the staff and with the high quality of
15 work that Hillcrest has accomplished. He was also delighted with the vision those properties
�6 provided in respect to the potential for Apache-Plaza.
17 Sparks agreed with Horst's comments and felt it was comforting to view the quality of Hillcrest
18 Development's work.
19 Cavanaugh thanked Mr. Tankenoff for his presentation and input.
20 VIII. GENERAL POLICY BUSINESS OF THE COUNCIL.
21 A. -- Resolution 00-029;-re: Award Construction Bid-for 29th Avenue NE-Improvements.
22 City Manager Michael Morrison began by stating that bids were received for the 2000 Street and
23 Utility Reconstruction project. However,the contract for sidewalks, landscaping, and street
24 lighting would be separate and would necessitate the need for a change order that would be nego-
25 tiated between the lowest bidder and WSB &Associates. The lowest bid(and 10 bids were
26 received)was from Barbarossa and Sons, Inc. in the amount of$2,049,838.66.
27 Morrison directed the Council's attention to Todd Hubmer's letter of April 10, 2000 to Bob
28 Thistle, Springsted Financial, wherein Mr. Hubmer set forth a summary of the financial needs for
29 the City's public improvement projects for the year 2000. Morrison stated that approval of
30 Resolution 00-029 would not be requested at this meeting. This is in light of the fact that the
31 previous Council had determined not to award the contract until funding was in hand. Currently,
32 the City is awaiting the results from the ongoing legislative session regarding funding.
03 Morrison invited Mr. Hubmer to address the Council in connection with this matter. Mr. Hubmer
34 briefly reviewed the letter of April 6,2000 and the various amounts of bids received for the proj-
35 ect. Mr. Hubmer was impressed with the number of bids received.
33

1 Additionally, Mr. Hubmer reviewed his letter of April 10,200.0 to Bob Thistle regarding the
2 summary of financial needs for the City: Essentially,Mr. Hubmer's letter stated that the City is
3 considering the issuance of two public bonds to fiord some improvements. The sources of
4 funding for these bonds are the City's Municipal State aid (MSA) Fund account, and the City's
5 Stormwater Utility Fund. In this respect,Mr. Hubmer reviewed specific figures and accounts
6 with the Council in potential anticipation of the issuance of bonds.
7 The consideration and potential approval of Resolution 00-029, re: Award Construction Bid for
8 29th Avenue NE Improvements,was deemed tabled at this time.
9 As an aside, Mornson stated his request to WSB &Associates to pull together various options for
10 presentation to the residents along 29th Avenue. A neighborhood meeting would be held with
11 City Staff, and Staff would return to the Council with an agreement on an option.
12 B. Discuss Bond Sale Process.
13 City Manager Michael Mornson introduced Bob Thistle of Springsted Financial and invited him
14 to address the Council. Mr. Thistle stated that he was present to explain the bond sale process
�5 and to provide the Councilmembers with an overview of the next 90 days in conjunction with a
6 potential sale.
17 Mr. Thistle presented various information to the Councilmembers that provided such an
18 overview and addressed the financial needs of the City in the upcoming months.
19 Cavanaugh asked if Mr. Thistle could provide some written documentation of his report for
20 Council review, and Mr. Thistle agreed to forward such report.
21 Cavanaugh thanked Mr. Thistle for his report and informative presentation.
22 C. Resolution 00-027 re: Adopt Strategic Planning Report.
23 Mayor Cavanaugh suggested that Resolution 00-027,re: Adopt Strategic Planning.Report,be ta-
24 bled until the next City Council meeting on Tuesday, April 25,2000 in light of the absence of
25' Councilmember Thuesen.
26 D. Review 2001 Budizet Calendar and Discuss Budget Goals.
27 Mayor Cavanaugh suggested that the issue of the 2001 Budget Calendar and Budget Goals be
28 tabled until the next City Council meeting on Tuesday,April 25, 2000 in light of the absence of

1 1. Nativity Lutheran Church for 3312 Silver Lake Road, Setback Variance Request
2 and consideration of Resolution 00-030,a Resolution Relating to 3312 Silver
3 Lake Road Variance Request.
4 City Manager Morrison introduced William Thomas, a member of the Planning Commis-
5 Sion, and invited him to address the Council.
6 Mr. Thomas began by reviewing the background of the variance request for Nativity
7 Lutheran Church. In September 1999, a representative from the Church filed a sign per-
8 mit with Staff to "change the sign out front." The intention was to change the sign so that
9 it would be easier to maintain and have a more updated appearance. The location, dimen-
10 sions, footings, electrical wiring, and base would remain the same.
11 During the course of the permit process, it was discovered that the sign was in the City's
12 right-of-way. However,the sign had been in existence since 1958, and was installed
13 prior to the City's ordinance being codified in 1976. In other words,the existing sign
14 was "grandfathered" into the ordinance.
15 Additionally,a resident had called Staff,to complain about the existing sign being located
16 in the City's right-of-way. A legal opinion from City Attorney William Soth was
17 obtained, and a public hearing was held. No objections to the location of the sign were
18 voiced at the public hearing.
19 It was the Planning Commission's determination to allow for the variance due to five
20 hardship reasons, with the understanding that the City would enter into a license agree-
21 ment (pursuant to City Attorney Soth's recommendations)that would enable the City to
22 require removal of the sign if and when it was deemed appropriate.
23 Furthermore, Thomas stated that he has been made aware of other businesses within the
24 City that are in noncompliance with the local ordinances, and it has been recommended
25 that the Planning Commission arrive at a consistent policy in which to regulate these mat-
26 , ters.
27 Hodson expressed disappointment at the time that the City has been required to spend on
28 this matter. He felt that the Church and the sign had been in existence since 1958, and
29 this issue needed to resolved and completed without further ado.
30 Motion by Sparks to approve Resolution 00-030,a Resolution Relating to 3312 Silver
31 Lake Road Variance Request,wherein the St. Anthony Planning Commission heard the
32 request from Nativity Lutheran Church, 3312 Silver Lake Road, at their March 21, 2000
133 meeting and made recommendation to the City Council to approve the setback variance
34 due to the following reasons:
35
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
• April 11,2000
Page 11
1 1. An undue hardship would-be caused if the sign was moved and.subsequently
2 caused a change to the configuration of the Church and configuration of the traffic
3 pattern;
4 2. The variance would be utilized to correct an extraordinary circumstance with re-
5 spect to the traffic pattern and the setting of the lot;
6 3. The undue hardship has been caused by the city ordinance and the sign was in ex-
7 istence prior to the codification of the ordinance;
8 4. t The agreement mentioned and recommended in City Attorney's letter dated
9 March 1,2000 would be entered into and become part of the setback variance;
10 5. There were not any significant changes to the sign in the modification and
11 updating process.
12 The City Council of the City of St. Anthony hereby approves the request made by
13 Nativity Lutheran Church, 3312 Silver Lake Road, for a setback variance for placement
14 of a sign due to the aforementioned reasons.
15. Motion carried unanimously.
10 .6 On another issue, Thomas noted that the Planning Commission has been considering various op-
17 tions in which to reduce the number of variance requests received. In this respect, Thomas
18 directed the Council's attention to Kim Tillmann's report on the lot coverage ordinance, as well
19 as a letter from Todd Hubmer dated April 6,2000.
20 In essence,the Planning Commission has researched the issue and obtained a professional
21 opinion from WSB &Associates, and determined that a viable option to reducing the number of
22 variance requests would be to:
23 1. Increase the lot coverage ratio to 40%for lots at or under 9,000 square feet;
24 2. Lots over 9,000 square foot would retain the current 35% lot coverage ratio;
25 3. Decks would be exempt from lot coverage as long as the deck was built over a
26 pervious surface; and,
27 4. When a resident applies for a building permit,they would be asked to submit a
28 water retention plan that would be a part of the building process. Additionally, an
29 educational brochure would be provided at the time of the permit application to
30 provide more information and education. When the permit is returned,the
0 31 resident would be asked to submit 2-3 paragraphs outlining the homeowner's plan
32 to provide for storm water runoff.

1 Mornson added that City Attorney Soth would review the lot coverage issue for legalities and
2 return with his opinion to the Council, at which time the readings would begin(three readings re-
3 quired) in order to change the Ordinance.
4 On another issue,Thomas reported that the Planning Commission was pleased with the tour of
5 the Hillcrest Properties and that the worksession of the Commission thereafter produced some
6 excellent ideas and thoughts. Additionally,the possibility of holding a town meeting to discuss
7 the Apache Plaza project was discussed, as well as the possibility of inviting the Mayor of
8 Burnsville to speak to the Council regarding that City's redevelopment projects.
9 Regarding the lot coverage issue,Horst asked if the Planning Commission had determined the
10 process to determine if an area underneath a-deck would be pervious or impervious. Tillmann
11 stated that a clear definition of impervious features would need to be developed.
12 In connection with the stormwater management plan for homeowners previously mentioned,
13 Mornson wanted to ensure that the process would be clearly defined and not a burden for the
14 . residents.
15 Mr. Hubmer offered that an option would be to simply handout educational brochures that
16 would provide some options on stormwater runoff. The intent, he stated, was not to provide a
17 policing problem, but to simply provide education.
18 Tillmann clarified that the stormwater management plan to be submitted by homeowners was not
19 intended,to be apart of the City's ordinance,but simply to become part of the building permit
20 process as a way to educate residents.
21 Sparks supported the change to the lot coverage ordinance and thanked Tillmann and Thomas for
22 their presentation.
23 B. Todd Hubmer, WSB & Associates will be present to give a Proiect Status Report.
24 City Manager Mornson invited Todd Hubmer,WSB &Associates, to address the Council.
25 Mr. Hubmer stated that he had met with the Parks Commission at their meeting on Monday,
26 April 10,2000, and had visited Silver Point Park with the members in conjunction with the
27 Commission's meeting.
28 In this respect,Mr. Hubmer directed the Council's attention to his letter dated April 6, 2000,
29 wherein he outlined the status of various projects that are ongoing within the City. In connection
30 with Silver Point Park,Mr. Hubmer stated that the Parks Commission is currently in discussions
31 regarding (1)the need for restroom and warming house facilities; (2)park lighting for the
32 parking lot,hockey rink,recreational rink, and security lighting; and(3)punch list items
33 remaining to be completed by the contractor.

1 Additionally, in regard to the ongoing project of the removal of homes on Pahl Avenue,prelimi-
2 nary specifications for the sale of the houses on Pahl Avenue have been prepared and reviewed
3 by the City Attorney. The bid documents will be completed and the advertisement for bids
4 published the first week of May 2000. Bids will be received at the end of May or the first part of
5 June and work will begin shortly thereafter. The project is anticipated to be completed no later
6 than fall of 2000.
7 Regarding the Harding Street Sanitary Sewer Lift Station,Mr. Hubmer stated that discussions
8 have been completed with the City of Minneapolis and preliminary approval has been obtained to
9 divert the Harding Street sanitary sewer lift station into the City of Minneapolis in the vicinity of
10 37th Avenue and Stinson Boulevard. Additionally, a letter is currently being prepared and antici-
11 pated to be presented to the Council in April or May 2000 regarding the rehabilitation of the lift
12 station.
13 Lastly, in connection with the Harding Street Storm Water Pond, a neighborhood meeting was
14 held on February 29, 2000 to receive input on a number of alternatives which were prepared and
15 presented to the residents. At that meeting, there was a consensus to take one of the four options
6 to preliminary design. A second public information meeting is anticipated for April or May and
7. a preliminary plan is expected to be presented to the Council in May 2000.
18 Mornson contributed that the City is acquiring 13 easements, and fair compensation needs to be
19 made for the value of the easements. A second appraisal is an option to arrive at fair compensa-
20 tion. City Attorney Soth added that the City cannot authorize the appraisals until the design is
21 completed. Mornson offered that a design is close to completion and the City needs to consider
22 the appraisal process.
23 In connection with Silver Point Park,Momson explained that the restroom/warming house,
24 parking, lighting, hockey rink, etc. are not items that are included in the Knutson contract. An
25 additional contract would need to be entered into to complete those items.
26 C. City-Manager.
27 City Manager Mornson directed the Council's attention to pages 102-103 of the agenda package,
28 which listed an updated summary of the City's costs for the Silver Lake Road Bridge Project.
29 Construction is anticipated to begin May 8,2000, and the project bid opening was March 22,
30 2000. The total cost for the City is estimated to be $844,629.40.
31 On another subject,Mornson pointed out page 104 of the Council's agenda package which
32 depicted a memorandum from Assistant City Manager Spencer Isom. The information in the.'
33 memorandum listed key dates of which the Council should be aware in connection with Hillcrest
.'4 Development and the Apache Plaza redevelopment.

1 As noted in the memorandum,the Planning Commission, Staff, and John.Shardlow(City's con-
2 sulting planner)held a worksession to discuss how best to proceed with the project.' The.Com-
3 mission determined that the City's best interest would be served if it proceeded with a new three-
4 step approach(in lieu of Hillcrest's request). Said approach would (1) amend the City's
5 Comprehensive Plan to accommodate an Office/High-tech designation; (2) change the City Code
6 to allow for Planned Unit Developments (PUD's); and(3)to have Hillcrest proceed with the de-
7 velopment of the Apache Plaza under the newly created PUD process.
8 Momson wished to remind the Council that Assistant City Manager Isom would be attending the
9 Planning Commission meetings.
10 X. REPORTS FROM COUNCILMEM 3ERS.
11 Sparks reported that ACTION (Adults and Children Together in Our Neighborhood) is having a
12 meeting on Wednesday,April 12, 2000 to promote intergenerational events over the next year.
13 The meeting is scheduled at 8:00 a.m. at the high school.
14 Additionally,ACTION would be mailing a newsletter which will go to all parents of students in
•15 the district.
16 Horst reported that on Thursday,April 13, 2000, the Chamber was hosting their annual meeting
17 and invitations have been mailed. The Business of the Year would be announced and the
18 evening promised to be eventful and interesting.
19 Hodson reported that recently the Sports Boosters and charitable gambling had approved a
20 $7,500 grant for ACTION.
21 Cavanaugh reported that on Saturday, April 15, 2000, a second meeting regarding VillageFest
22 would be held. Additionally, the Finnish/American Youth Art Exchange Grand Opening would
23 be held on Thursday,April 13,2000 between the hours of 4:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. He noted the
24 exquisite artwork displayed on the flyers advertising the event and wished to commend Ruth
25 Ann Marks and her committee on the outstanding job performed organizing the,Art Exchange.
26 Additionally, Cavanaugh announced that the Art Exchange would be open on Friday,April 14
27 from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., Saturday from 10:00 a.m.to 5:00 p.m., and Sunday from 10:00 a.m.
28 to 5:00 p.m.
29 Cavanaugh directed City Manager Mornson to add a presentation on Central Park redevelopment
30 to an upcoming Council agenda. The intent would be to update the three new Councilmembers
31 on the Park and to bring all members up to speed on the progress. Mornson responded that he
32 had envisioned this'update to take place at the joint meeting with the Parks Commission on June
1033 12, 2000.

1 Cavanaugh reported that he was informed by the Cable Commission that two new cable franchise
2 applications had been received. 'He believed that creates the possibility of increased competition
3 and potentially lower rates.
4 Furthermore, CTV's Channel 98 has invited the City to have the Council meetings televised on
5 that channel. This would be in addition to the regular telecast on cable.
6 Cavanaugh noted that at the public hearing earlier regarding 29th Avenue sidewalks, a significant
7 departure from past practice was noticed. In other words, most of the time residents are invited
8 to address.the Council from the podium and microphone. This time,residents spoke during
9 informal question and answer sessions from the audience, in addition to formally expressing.
10 opinions at the podium. Cavanaugh felt that such a variation would be a productive manner in
11 the future to promote participation and inquired about the possibility of obtaining a portable
12 microphone so that viewers at home could hear the residents.
13 Hodson agreed with the concept and stated that the ability is present to put microphones out into
14 the audience. He noted the possibility that approaching the podium and microphone could pres-
�5 ent an intimidation factor for some residents.
16 Sparks wished to remind the Council that the policy might need to be reviewed regarding more
17 informal meetings with residents prior to televised Council meetings in order to facilitate aware-
18 ness of issues and reduce the potential for conflicts.
19 XI. INFORMATION AND ANNOUNCEMENTS.

21 Motion carried unanimously.
22 IV. 33RD AND SILVER LAKE ROAD.
23 Chair Jindra stated that she would like to add this item to the agenda. She.believes this area is a
24 focal point and would like to discuss options to make it an attractive area for the community. In
25 this respect, Ganley presented photographs of another area that had been provided to him by a
26 resident. These photographs depicted a pond that is designed for drainage.
27 Todd Hubmer of WSB & Associates was in attendance and offered that to have water in that par-
28 ticular area would be difficult. Typically,he stated, if a pond is to be considered, a 10:1 drainage
29 area should be achieved.
30 V. DISCUSS SILVER POINT PARK.
31 Chair Jindra asked for Mr. Hubmer to speak about the progress of Silver Point Park. In this re-
32 spect, Mr. Hubmer directed the Commission's attention to his letter of April 10, 2000,wherein
33 he discussed the remaining construction issues and other related issues in Silver Point Park.
0. t In short,the issues remaining on the punch list are as follows:
35 1. Sanitary manhole in Silver Point Park needs to be pumped out and sealed;

43

1 3. An extra rail shall be added to the bottom of the 52-inch and 42-inch RCP aprons;
2 4. All dead trees within the park shall be replaced, and trees which are not in an upright po-
3 sition shall be positioned and warrantied.
4 5. Turf shall be established in Central Park in accordance with the plans and specifications
5 (some reseeding might need to be done);
6 6. Turf within Trillium Park shall be reviewed by the engineer and subcontractor to deter-
7 mine if seeding meets specifications;
8 7. Cleanup of material along the northern fence of Silver Point Park;
9 8. Cable television shall be removed from the trees located on the south side of Silver Point
10 Park.
11 Mr. Hubmer reminded the Commission that the above punch list items need to be completed
12 . before final payment is made to the contractor.
13 Jindra clarified the specifics of item nos. 2 and 4 above. Jindra stated that she would continue to
14 rely on Mr. Hubmer to follow up on the issues and Mr. Hubmer agreed to do so.
15 In continuation of the letter of April 10, 2000, Mr. Hubmer reviewed the restroom and warming
16, house facility issues. In this respect, Mr. Hubmer presented a depiction of the proposed fields for
�7 Silver Point Park(which included softball, soccer, and a hockey fink). Such depiction also in--
18 cluded detailed spots for lighting and parking spaces. Specifically, Mr. Hubmer asked the
19 Commission several questions in order to determine the type of warming house and restroom
20 facility desired. One question was the concept of a concession stand. Although the Commission
21 declined the option of a concession stand, it was determined that most residents would prefer
22 single-use, separate men's and women's restrooms.
23 Mr. Hubmer also presented an idea of building the warming house into the side of a hill, and set-
24 ting up a theme of colors, structure, and configuration that would be contiguous throughout the
25 City's parks. Various ideas were then discussed regarding the potential materials to be used for
26 the building, including the roof, to assist in alleviating the potential for vandalism.
27 Bob Kost, BRW,Inc. was in attendance and offered to work on some concepts for the Commis-
28 Sion and present those ideas at the next Parks Commission meeting on May 8, 2000.
29 Sports Boosters Representative Zurbey mentioned the possibility of building a warming house
30 that the walls could be removed in the summer and the warming house could then be used as a
31 pavilion. The Co mmission agreed this was an excellent concept and Mr. Kost agreed to provide
32 some sketches and details about that option. Additionally,Mr.Kost stated that there are many
33 options of sloping the roof and using different types of materials for roofing that would
34 discourage climbing on the roof and/or vandalism.
•35 Zurbe mentioned the idea of a storage room located in the warming house facility. Mr. Kost
Y g
36 cautioned the Commission against this concept due to the potential for theft.

1 Mr. Hubmer stated that,through the public hearing process and prior neighborhood meetings, he
2 has been made aware of residents' concerns regarding lighting at Silver Point Park. In this re-
3 spect., Mr. Hubmer stated that once the Commission has arrived at a lighting plan, a
4 neighborhood meeting would be held and the plan would be presented to the residents. Mr.
5 Hubmer elaborated that the height of the lights as well as the lighting schedule would be of
6 particular concern to the residents.
7 Jindra inquired about the intensity of the lights, and Mr. Hubmer responded that the intensity
8 would vary. A light-intensity study would be performed, he stated. Jindra asked if the lights
9 could be focused more directly on the fields to alleviate possible annoyances to the residents.
10 Mr. Hubmer responded that option could be considered, but potentially could increase the cost of
11 the total lighting system.
12 Jindra asked Mr. Hubmer for his opinion on the tentative date in May for the grand opening of
13 Silver Point Park. Mr. Hubmer stated that the park could be opened in May,but it would hinge
14 on the understanding that reseeding would most likely be done in the fall. Various discussion en-
15 sued amongst the Commissioners about the optimal date for the opening of the park in order to
16 allow the grass to take hold.
•? An official grand opening date of June 1, 2000 was discussed, with the option of allowing
younger children to utilize the fields after May 1. Jindra reminded the Commission that the next
19 meeting would be held on Monday, May 8, and details surrounding the grand opening would
20 need to be addressed.
21 Jindra thanked Mr. Hubmer and stated that the Commission is looking forward to discussing in
22 detail additional issues at the May 8, 2000 meeting.
23 VI. ' ' DISCUSS CENTRAUPARK REDEVELOPMENT.
24 Chair Jindra invited Bob Kost, BRW, Inc.,to address the Commission regarding the Central Park
25 redevelopment project. Mr. Kost presented the site survey of the Park to the Commission, and
26 stated that the survey is 95%complete and he is awaiting additional information for the
27 completion of the survey.
28 In short, Mr. Kost expressed disappointment that there is less ground that originally anticipated.
29 Initially, Mr. Kost stated that there was believed to be approximately 1,022 feet from the edge of
30 the trail, and in reality,the survey indicated there was 990 feet.
31 Chair Jindra introduced Mr. Gary Palm. the Athletic Director for the High School,who was in
32 attendance at the meeting. Mr. Kost presented.a sketch of the proposed redevelopment of Central
33 Park and reviewed the specifics of the drawing with the Commission and Mr.Palm. In
�4 particular,Mr. Kost pointed out the location and sizes of the fields,potential grading that would
5 be needed, the possible sloping of the land for water runoff, and the potential for a variety of uses
36 for the fields.
45
Parks Commission Meeting Minutes

1 Jindra mentioned that the Commission has been attempting to locate an area for skateboarders to
2 use. In this respect, Jensen stated that he has spoken with the City of Shoreview, and was in-
3 formed that Shoreview's skateboarding area is located alongside the Community Center. Addi-
4 tionally,he stated that the City has had a good experience with that location. Jensen continued .
5 by directing the Commission's attention to information concerning skateboard ramps and
6 accessories that he had obtained from a company. Jensen inquired of Mr. Kost the approximate
7 size of an area by the St. Anthony Community Center as depicted on the sketch. Mr. Kost
8 responded that the area is approximately 80 x 120 feet. Jensen responded that a 60 x 100 foot
9 skateboarding rink could be installed by the City(repaving, ramps, and any accessories) for
10 approximately $50,000.
11 In returning to the issue of the proposed fields for Central Park, Mr. Palm offered his suggestions
12 regarding the proposed fields as well as the existing fields. Discussion ensued regarding the
13 length of time the fields would be out of commission during the redevelopment. Mr. Kost stated
14 that the fields in Central Park would be lost to athletic competition for two seasons.
15 Zurbey asked what the Commission needed to do now to move this project forward. Mr. Kost
16 said that since the survey is 95% complete,his recommendation would be to narrow the options
17 regarding the specific types of facilities the Commission desires in the Park.
1018 Mr. Palm mentioned the possibility the City purchasing a resident's home that is located near
h' tY P g
19 Central Park. Mr. Wagner offered that it was his understanding that when the resident was ready
20 to move, he would consider selling his home to the City at that time.
21 Jindra mentioned that the Commission's joint meeting with the City Council would be
22 forthcoming in June and that these issues would be excellent topics for discussion.
23 Jindra confirmed that Mr. Kost would be in attendance-at the next Parks Commission meeting on
24 May 8, 2000 and asked him to provide more details regarding Central Park at that time.
25 In respect to skateboarding, Wagner suggested at least a temporary place for the skateboarders.
26 School Board Representative Denise Dunn stated that she had found out some information re-
27 garding potential skateboarding at the school. Apparently, there is an agreement that once the
28 busses leave the school,the kids can skateboard in that area in front of the school. However, the
29 area behind the bleachers of the football stadium would not be available for skateboarding this
30 summer(as had been previously discussed)because of the work being performed on the bleach-
31 ers.
32 Zurbey mentioned the possibility of the upper parking area for skateboarding. Dunn requested .
33 that the Commission determine a specific request that could be provided to the School Board.
04 In reference to the skateboarding materials obtained, Jensen inquired of the Commission the
35 types of questions in which to ask the Company about the ramps and accessories. It was decided
36 that Jensen would inquire if the ramps could be temporarily installed and have the ability to be

2 Commission at the May 8, 2000 meeting with an update. He mentioned the possibility that a
3 representative from the,Company could attend the next meeting to provide more details.
4 In connection with Water Tower Park, Jindra stated her uncertainty whether fencing off a par-
5 ticular area to redirect foot traffic was the answer. Hallada suggested planting a type of vegeta-
6 tion that would redirect foot traffic around the rose bushes. Additionally, Jindra noted that the :
7 satellite bathrooms were installed; however, she did not see the hand sanitizers in the bathroom
8 as had been expected. Public Works Director Jay Hartman agreed to check on that matter.
9 With respect to moving forward with Central Park,Mr. Kost advised the Commission to review
10 the Central Park Master Plan and determine all the components that should be entered into the
11 Plan. Jindra asked Mr. Kost to assist by using the previously agreed-upon list and add to that list
12 the items that have been discussed in order to give the Commission a baseline from which to
13 work.
14 Koehntop inquired if a sprinkler system had been factored into the plans. Mr. Kost and Hartman
15 agreed that a sprinkler system had been included.
5 Jindra thanked Mr. Kost for his presentation and attendance at the meeting.
17 VII. REPORTS.
18 A. Community Services.
19 Community Services Representative Diana Roadfeldt stated that Community Services did not
20 meet this month. Additionally, Roadfeldt stated that she would be resigning her position as
21 Community Services Representative due to time constraints, and stated a new representative was
22 expected to be appointed by the next Parks Commission meeting.
23 B. School Board.
24 School Board Representative Denise Dunn stated that she had provided information from her re-
25 port(regarding skateboarding at the school) earlier in the meeting.

Dear Mike and Spencer:
As I represented at the April 18, 2000 Planning Commission meeting, Hillcrest hereby withdraws
its Petition for Amendment to Zoning Ordinance (to add a C-2 zoning district) and its Petition for
Rezoning the Property to C-2 ("Petitions"). The Petitions were submitted on March 21, 2000.
Hillcrest withdraws the Petitions, as the City will adopt a new mixed use Planned Unit
Development Ordinance, and Hillcrest will make an application for the �roperty to be rezoned to
PUD.
It is my understanding that Hillerest's general concept plan for PUD zoning will be before the
Planning Commission on May 16,2000. I will talk to Spencer regarding the timing for submittal of
the PUD application.

April 28, 2000
Members of the Planning Commission and City Council
St. Anthony Village
3301 Silver Lake Road
St. Anthony, MN 55418
Dear Members :
We herewith submit an application for a renewal of your Planning
Commission action of May 18, 1999 and City Council action of May
25, 1999, which actions you took in response to our March. 12, 1999
petition for lot width and area variance pertaining to a parcel of
land on which we desired to build a single-family residence.
Here is a summary of events leading up to your unanimous approval
of our petition: in the fall of 1999, we agreed to purchase from
Arvid and Eleanor Johnson their property at 4008 Fordham Drive.,
which at the time included a 60 foot wide portion we recognized as
an ideal site for a new home. During our negotiations with the
Johnsons, we informed them that our purchase of their property
would be subject to Planning Commission and City Council approval
of our Petition for Variance, which we subsequently submitted. -
Upon your approval of our Petition, we completed the purchase of
the entire property from the Johnsons on June 25, 1999, using a
mortgage to finance it. At about the same time, Ramsey County
completed its process of splitting off the 60-foot-wide .lot and
assigned it a separate PIN for tax and other purposes . The location
of the lot makes us assume that the house number of the home we
build will be 4004 Fordham Drive.
The May 18, 1999 Minutes of the Planning Commission state:
Motion by Horst, second by Bergstrom to approve the lot width and
lot variance requests for 4004 Fordham Drive as it would not alter
the essential character of the neighborhood and is in keeping the
intention and spirit of the Zoning Code.
Motion carried unanimously.
The Minutes of the May 25 meeting of the City Council stater
• Motion by Marks, second by Faust to approve lot width and lot area
variance for ' 4xxx Fordham Drive, David Sperry, Buyer,
Motion carried unanimously
-- -2-
For your convenience, we have attached a copy of our Petition and
its cover letter dated March 12, 1999, and also the relevant
sections of the minutes of the May 18 and May 25, 1999 meetings of
the Planning Commission and City Council respectively, from which
we have taken the above quotes .
We offer the following reasons for submitting this current Petition
for an extension of time to proceed with our plans to build a home
on the lot we now own:
1. We were unable during the summer of 1999 to sell our New
Brighton home, leaving us in the financial predicament of having to
make payments on two mortgages. Our original plan was to sell our
New Brighton home and live temporarily in our newly acquired home
at 4008 Fordham Drive while we built our new home on the adjoining
lot, using the approximately $180, 0.00 equity from the sale of our
New Brighton home. In fact, at one time last summer we were
negotiating with a potential buyer of our New Brighton home, but'
negotiations came to an end when the buyer lost his job.
At that time we revised our plans as follows:
2 . ' We decided for financial reasons, namely two mortgage
• payments, to sell our newly purchased house at 4008 Fordham Drive.
Even before advertising it on the open market, we agreed to sell it
to David and Mary Lindman, our neighbors just down the street at
3928 Fordham Drive. We were able to complete that sale on November
1, 1999, after the Lindmans sold their home.
3 . Because November was too late to begin building, we had no
choice but to postpone the project until spring of 2000 . During
this past winter and spring, we have been involved in the time-
consuming- process of working- with Planning .& Design, -Inc.. to_ draft
a suitable house plan.
That process has finally met with success; with a plan now in hand
we are ready to begin building within days of receiving a building
permit. We have already lined up a $154, 000 home equity line of
credit from Firstar Bank, St. Anthony branch.
Even though it came to our attention only recently that the Village
has a policy regarding expiration of variances (Section 1665 .06
Variances, Subd. 6) , following your granting of the petition in May
1999, the financial pressure of too much indebtedness left us
little choice but to delay building until one or the other of our
two homes sold. As noted above, we closed on the Fordham house on
November 1, 1999 .
To date, our investment in the lot and other items related to this
project is close to $50,000.
• - -3-
Since we believe ( 1) that both the St. Anthony Village Planning
Commission and City Council used the appropriate criteria to
approve unanimously our May 1999 Petition for Variance, and (2)
that our Petition continues to meet the appropriate criteria for
granting of variances (the situation now is the same as it was
then) , we therefore request you to approve this new Petition.
We regret any inconvenience we have caused the Planning Commission
and City Council as a result of this current petition, but we are
nevertheless grateful for this opportunity to submit it.
Sincerely Yours
David and Paul etta erry,

Members of the Planning Commission and City Council
St. Anthony Village
3301 Silver Lake Road
St. Anthony, Minnesota 55418
Dear Members:
We are pleased to submit the attached Petition for Variance, the granting of which will
permit us to build a single family home on a vacant lot, the PIN # of which is 31-30-23-
42-0167-8,with a probable address of 4004 Fordham Drive,N.E., St. Anthony, MN.
Our need to apply for a variance arises from the fact that the lot is smaller than required
by the current St. Anthony Zoning Code. The lot measures 60 feet wide by 133.085 feet
in average depth, leaving it 15 feet less in width (75-60) and 1,015 sq. feet less in square.
footage (9000-7985). There is no available adjoining land to add to it. There are several.
• other lots in the vicinity which are substandard, either because they existed before the
current Zoning Code went into effect or because variances have been granted under the
.provision of the current Zoning Code.
We believe this Petition is consistent with the conditions St. Anthony Village has spelled
out for granting a variance (1665.06, Variances), namely by presenting the following
factual evidence(Subd.3. Evidence
(a) The subject matter of the application is within the scope of this
Subsection.
(b) Strict enforcement would cause undue hardship because:
(1) The property cannot be put to a reasonable use without the variance.
(2) The'circumstances .causing the hardship were not created by the
owner.
(3) The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the
locality.
(4) Economic considerations alone are not the basis of the hardship.
(c) The circumstances causing the hardship are unique to the individual
property under consideration.
(d) The granting of the variance is in keeping with the spirit and intent of the
Zoning Code.
• We believe that the variances we are requesting conform to these,facts.
We are-not petitioning for a variance of the Zoning Code requirements relative to the
•' setback of a house from property lines (a total side-yard setback of 15 feet but not less
than 5 feet on one side) and the 35% maximum area of the parcel which can be used for a
house, including its driveways, walkways, decks, etc. We plan to stay within these limits.
We propose that the setback of our home from the curb_ be 58 feet which.is the average of
the setbacks for the two adjoining houses.
Attached is the footprint of the house we plan to build and its proposed location on the
lot. At this time we are unable to make available a full set of drawings. * However, it is
our understanding that the final full set of house plans is subject to Village approval prior
to breaking ground. But we want to assure you that we have enough equity in the home
we currently live in to allow us to build another that will be in stylistic harmony with
homes in the neighborhood as well as being an asset to the Village of St. Anthony.
As a historical note, the matter of this lot was taken up by the St. Anthony Village
Planning Commission on September 17, 1985 and by the City Council on September 24,
1985. Copies of the minutes of those meetings are attached.
We have signed a Purchase Agreement for this property, contingent on our being granted
this Petition for Variance. We await your favorable response, believing that our Petition
is both reasonable and in harmony with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code of St.
Anthony.
Sincerely yours,
David and Paulletta Sperry

Minnesota Statutes and City Ordinances require that the following.conditions must be satisfied
for approval of this request. Please respond to these conditions using additional sheets if
necessary.
® 1. Because of the particular physical surroundings, shape, or topographical conditions of
the parcel or lot, the proposed variance would relieve an undue hardship, as
distinguished from a mere inconvenience, should the applicable ordinance be strictly
enforced.
The current Zoning Code does not permit a single family home to
be built on this 60 foot lot unless a variance be granted, in
which case the lot can be put to its best and greatest use .
2. The purpose-of the proposed variance is not based exclusively upon a desire to-increase
the value or income potential of the parcel of land, but would correct extraordinary
circumstances applicable to this property but not applicable to other property in the
vicinity or zoning district.
Granting the variance would correct the extraordinary circum-
stance that the lot has no adjoining land that can be added to
it to meet current Code requirements, meaning that-without the
variance the new owner is unable to use it for building a home.
3. The alleged difficulty or hardship is caused by the City Ordinance and has not been
created by any persons presently having an interest in the parcel of land.
Prior to the passage of the current Zoning Code, many homes in
St. Anthony Village were built..on lots less than 15 feet in
width and 9000 in square feet, ` , d since pas ge of current Cod-
variances have been grante !E
for lots in the vicini y 7a'
• smaller than current tare of Applicant
Code specifications.
Note: We are petitioning only for variances on lot width and square feet.

allowed for our home and its driveway, walkways and decks will, be honor

2 amphitheater previously located on the site.

4 Hanson asked for an approximate distance between the proposed sidewalk and the sidewalk on
5 St. Anthony Boulevard. Mr. Bridges estimated a vertical distance of 15 feet.
6
7 Bergstrom closed the public hearing at 7:16 PM.
8
9 Bergstrom stated the Sunset Park had a concept review recently and the issue presented no
10 particular concern to him. Hatch asked whether a heavy snowfall would affect the structure as it
11 relates to city ploughing. Bergstrom stated this was not the case due to the slope.
12
13 Horst stated the hardship is the apparent danger to employees,heavy equipment access, and the
14 inconvenience to families. He expressed understanding that there was some question in the
15 original plans as to whether sidewalk would be considered part of the structure.
16
• 7 Motion by Horst, second by Bergstrom to approve a five-foot variance to allow for construction
8 of a five-foot wide-sidewalk in the setbacks on the northeast and northwest sides of the
mausoleum as this does not alter the essential character of the area and strict enforcement would
20 cause undue hardship.
21
22 Motion carried unanimously.
23
24 Bergstrom stated the Commission would make its recommendation to the City Council at their
25 May 25, 1999 regular meeting and encouraged representatives from Sunset Memorial Park to be
26 in attendance.

28 B. 99-03 Dave Sperry, 4004 Fordham Drive Lot Width and Lot Area Variance Requests.
29 Bergstrom opened the public hearing at 7:19 PM.
.30\y31 Ms. Moore-Sykes stated that Arvid and Eleanor Johnson, owners of 4008.Fordham Drive,
32 recently filed a lot split and replat with Ramsey County that had been approved by the City
33 Council twelve years ago. They had delayed this filing because they felt that they would be
34 adversely affected by property taxes and they were not ready to sell the resultant vacant parcel.
35 Staff called the property offices in Ramsey County and verified that they had recorded the lot
36 split and replat.
37
®z8 Mr. and Mrs. David Sperry, currently residing in New Brighton,have a tentative purchase
s9 agreement with the Johnson's,to purchase the lot that was resultant from the split of 4008
Fordham Drive. Mr. and Mrs. Sperry would like to build a$130,000 home for themselves on
�+1 this vacant lot but would like to have the variances approved before they close on this property.

Page 4
1 Staff has advised them that they also need to be aware of the setbacks.and lot coverage
2 restrictions for this zoning district. As their letter indicates,they are aware of the need to address
3 those issues without requesting additional variances.
4
5 The lot in question is 60 feet wide and its area is 7,985 square feet and as such, not considered a
6 buildable residential lot according to City Ordinance. The Ordinance states that.a residential lot
7 in the R-1 Zoning District must be at minimum 75 feet wide and an interior lot must be not less
8 than 9,000 square feet. The Sperrys are asking for a lot width variance of 15 feet and a lot area
9 variance of 1,015 square feet.
10
11 In granting the variance,the essential character of the neighborhood would not be altered and
12 would be in keeping with the intention and spirit of the Zoning Code. It is also possible that this
13 lot can not be put to reasonable use without these variances.
14
15 Mr. and Mrs. Sperry contend that there is a hardship in that the owner did not create this situation
16 and that the Council had approved this lot split in September 1985.
'7
18 Horst asked whether the Ordinance regarding minimum lot size was.written prior to 1985 when
i the Johnson's original lot split was approved. Ms. Moore-Sykes stated the Ordinance was
20 written in 1978 when many 60-foot wide lots existed and the City wanted to set a new tone for
21 available vacant property.
22
23 Stille asked how old the community was, and when the plat was originally filed. The Johnson's
24 confirmed their house was built in 1963 and was one of the first on the block.
25
26 Melsha noted a question had been raised with regard to storm water issues in that neighborhood
27 and a building moratorium which had been imposed. Ms. Moore-Sykes stated that moratorium
28 was no longer in effect.
29
30 Bergstrom invited the Johnson's and Sperry's to address the Council. Mr. Sperry presented
31 plans for his proposed home, adding the home fits in with the style of homes in the neighborhood
32 and falls within the 35%lot coverage.
33
34 Tillman noted a petition signed by neighbors in support of the request, and asked whether all
35 surrounding neighbors were included on the petition. The Johnson's confirmed that all the
36 surrounding neighbors have signed the petition.
37
38 Bob Graham, 4020 Fordham Drive, expressed concern over flooding issues in the neighborhood
39 which the City has done nothing to rectify after promising to address them before any
construction could commence. He requested that the City understand that continued deviation

1 from its policy by the continued issuance of such variances affects other resident's rights in
2 ' regard to storm sewers and flooding.
3
4 Horst asked whether Mr. Graham believes that the addition of a new home on the resultant lot
5 would mean less impervious surface and cause more run-off. Graham stated that none of the
6 neighbors know what it will take to cause flooding,but every inch of water is of concern. Horst
7 stated that he was unaware that area was under consideration for flood correction. Ms. Moore-
s Sykes stated this area is still part of the overall plan for flood relief in the City.
9
10 Keith Gordon, 4012 Fordham Drive, expressed support of the Johnson's planned lot split, stating
11 he has been their neighbor for 30 years and is a civil engineer. He added he had done some
12 calculations and noted that flood problems in the neighborhood would not be caused by this new
13 construction but because the Silver Lake Road watermain is undersized to handle flooding from
14 major storms. He noted that constructing 1 home is insignificant in terms of water added to the
15 storm sewer system.
16
7
'Bergstrom.closed the public hearing at 7:38 PM.
,8
Horst stated that in his opinion the City would not have approved the lot split in 1985 without
20 also approving of the intention to put a home on the resultant lot. He added the request is in
21 keeping with the current goals of the City, including the improvement of housing stock and
22 increased tax revenues.
23
24 Horst expressed his support of the request, stating the only negative aspect of the request is the
25 creation of a less*than ideal-sized lot, although no further variances would be required and there
26 is strong neighborhood support.
27
28 Hanson expressed concern that a precedent would be set for lot size, adding the Ordinance
29 pertaining to lot size might need to be revisited. He added the lot in question is a beautiful treed
30 lot and could present a.potential flood situation. Bergstrom stated a precedent has already been
31 set and where appropriate the City is willing.to consider and approve such requests.
32
33 Stille stated the hardship issue is not caused by the Johnson's who obviously did their homework
34 when they purchased the lot.
35
36 Motion by Horst, second by Bergstrom to approve the lot width and lot area variance requests for
37 4004 Fordham Drive as it would not alter the essential character of�the neighborhood and is in

4 C. 99-05 Coppo Partners,2837 Anthony Lane South,Rear Yard Variance.
5 Bergstrom opened the public hearing at 7:51 PM.
6
7 Ms. Moore-Sykes stated that Mr. Geoffrey Benedict of Vanguard Construction, Inc., and as agent
8 for Coppo Partners, 2837 Anthony Lane,has submitted a request for a rear yard variance in order
9 to construct a proposed addition. The current principal structure already sits five feet into the
10 rear yard setback. The proposed addition is planned to be constructed along the same line as the
11 rear of the existing building and as such requires a five-foot variance to the City's rear yard
12 setback ordinance for industrial properties.
13
14 The proposed 200 foot by 84 foot addition will be constructed on the northeast side of the current
15 principal structure and will provide an additional 16,800 square feet of warehouse. The proposed
16 addition will also allow for the construction of four additional loading docks. As the site plan
• -7 indicates, the owners intend to also reconfigure the layout of the parking area to allow for an
18 additional curbcut,drive and parking stalls. If their request for a variance is approved,they will
be required to install additional parking spaces. By ordinance they are required to install 32
20 parking spaces and the site plan indicates they will provide 38 parking spaces.
21
22 Staff researched the file to determine if a variance was granted for the existing structure and
23 found that the original building was constructed in 1972,which was before the Zoning Code was
24 codified. With this being the situation, there was no variance required in 1972 because the
25 building is considered "grandfathered" in.
26
27 Staff received no comments regarding this variance request.
28
29 Bergstrom invited Mr. Geoffrey Benedict to address the Commission. Mr. Benedict stated he
30 represents Coppo Partners who own the operating companies that occupy the existing building.
31 He added the owners have a need for more warehouse space, docks and additional parking to
32 carry out their business.
33
34 Horst asked what was the type of business in which the owners are involved. Mr. Benedict
35 stated the structure is a warehouse distribution facility for automotive specialty adhesives. Horst
36 noted that the petition for variance was not entirely completed. Mr. Benedict noted that an
37 economic hardship would exist if the owners were not permitted to build the addition.
• 38
39 Tillman.asked whether the addition could be moved in.5 feet. Ms.Moore-Sykes noted the
i variance is for the existing building as well. Bergstrom asked what would be the structural

14 Marks stated there is clearly a hardship in this case as created by City ordinance.
15
16 Cavanaugh stated a reference had been made to water problems in the area, and asked if.
® 17 that issue had been.resolved. Stille stated a resident of that neighborhood,who is a civil
18 engineer, indicated he believes water problems in that neighborhood are caused by
19 inadequate pipes on Silver Lake Road and not the addition of 1 home.

30 2837 Anthony Lane.
31
32 Marks asked what hardship was associated with this request. Stille stated the building
33 was built in 1972 while the zoning code was modified in 1978 and as such the code
34 created the hardship. Marks asked whether the proposed addition requires a variance
35 because of its placement in relation to the existing building. Stille stated the variance
36 relates to the whole structure because it was grandfathered in.
37
38 Faust stated the building is nonconforming at its present site, and the addition requires a
39 variance as it is being added to a nonconforming use.
