13 Ms.Wiessner indicated that,this summer,the county appraisal staff would be focusing revaluation efforts
14 on a county-wide re-assessment of land values and on the revaluation of approximately 36,000 residential
15 parcels in neighborhoods with unusually volatile values. -
16 Ms.Wiessner indicated that the only construction work that would be going on in St.Anthony was the

18 Ms.Wiessner reviewed the Community Human Services portion of the packet. She highlighted the Living

25 two thousand families.
26 Ms.Wiessner referred to the Adoption portion of Community Human Services. She indicated that one
27 hundred eighteen children were placed in adoptive homes in the year 2000. Ms.Wiessner mentioned the
28 Out-of-Home Placements which Counties around the state were trying to get this"unfounded mandate"

031 County spends about sixteen million on Out-of-home Placements,which is a very significant amount of
32 money. She referred to a few graphs which highlighted the reasons that children are taken out of homes
33 (chemical use, unstable housing).

18 Ramsey County Juvenile and Family Justice Center. She stated that,of the adult felony offenders in 1998,

27 several things that can go into Councilmember Sparks'comments. She indicated that the more serious
28 crimes,such as homicides,are flat. She added that there has been a steady increase on DUI offenses,part
29 of which has to do with the legislature passing new laws to make penalties stiffer. Ms.Wiessner stated that
30 legislature has made the DUI offense a felony, rather than a misdemeanor.
31 Ms.Wiessner continued her response to Councilmember Sparks'comments by saying that, living in a
32 metro area,there are more people attracted to Minnesota from other states. She identified the low

19 X. GENERAL POLICY BUSINESS OF THE COUNCIL.
20 A. Northwest Quadrant update (John Shardlow, DSU, will be present, see attached summary
21 document prepared by DSU).
22 Mayor Cavanaugh stated that they seem to be getting somewhere on the Project, as there a fewer
23 updates. He indicated that John Shardlow's June 20`h letter stated that, in July, there would be a line
24 set in the sand. Mayor Cavanaugh added that the Council has a document of decisions that will lay out
25 the acceptability of the future of the city. He concluded by saying that tonight is their opportunity to
26 flush out the specifics of some of the critical issues, so that, come July, they can get closer to the
27 concluding step.
28 Craig Rapp, managing principle of DSU, introduced himself to the Council. Mr. Rapp stated that,
29 where they are in the process, is that all of the data has been collected and now it will be placed into a
30 report for them within thirty days.

32 Mr. Rapp stated that they will be in the position to make some choices, and strongly recommended that .
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
June 26, 2001
Page 5
1 they not tie the hands of the development community, by getting too specific. Mr. Rapp added that if
2 the City is too specific, they limit their choices as--well:as the quality and-responsiveness-of-the
3 development community. Instead, he urged the Council to focus on a general framework, that is
4 flexible and allows for input by the developer.
5 Mr. Rapp continued by stating that it is a partnership between the City and the developer. He indicated
6 that they would clearly document everything that the community has said, and that it would be included
7 in their recommendations in the Concept Plans. Yet, he added,they had to allow the development
s community to have a stake in the project with them. Mr. Rapp identified other communities (Burnsville
9 and St. Louis Park)that have gone through large-scale re-development projects, who learned that
10 being too specific on the front-end cost them time, money, and choices in the end.
11 Mr. Rapp stated that their role is to get them to the point of having Concept Plans to examine, but
12 stated they will not make a recommendation to them as to which Plan they believe they should choose.
13 Then, he added, Ehlers and Associates, will represent them through the process of selecting a
14 developer, and learning the financial implications associated with the project.
15 Councilmember Horst asked what, specifically, would be provided them.-Mr. Rapp responded that
16 they will receive the cost of the project, the implications for-the-city;and-the feasibility1n-the-
17 marketplace.
18 Councilmember Horst added that, looking at some of the criteria, it seems ambitious. Mr. Rapp stated
19 that the people working on the project have a tremendous amount of experience, and that some of the
20 information to be distributed at the next meeting is already prepared.
21 Mr. Rapp stated that, collaboratively, they will work with a developer on details like color of brick,
22 and placement of architectural features. Councilmember Horst added that the details have bogged
23 down this process in the past, and asked what the skeleton was going to look like. Mr. Rapp indicated
24 that there would be two Concept Plans to examine.
25 Mr. Rapp continued that there would exist criteria associated with each particular Plan, such as
26 estimated cost per square foot used in anticipating the level of development they would want to see
27 there. Mr. Rapp stated that they would need to decide on the removal of the building. He added that
28 was an implication that would be identified within the report.
29 Mr. Rapp stated that the City always has the option to do nothing, and that it was important that they
30 be aware of that.
31 Mayor Cavanaugh stated that, when they started this process, it was implied that they retained DSU in
32 order to give them a recommendation. Mr. Rapp responded that they would be giving them two
33 Concept Plans, each with pros and cons attached to them, and an.indication that the market would
34 respond to both of them, but in different ways.

1 Mayor Cavanaugh asked if they were making the recommendation responsibly, considering cost and
2 feasibility. Mr. Rapp stated that they were. He added that legislature, and=other things could impact
3 the recommendation but that they will put forward things and show them how they can be successful
4 and the choices that the City would need to be made.
5 Mayor Cavanaugh asked if the Market Rate for the City of St. Anthony is part of the study that is fixed.
6 Mr. Rapp stated that a fundamental part of the development process like this one must have a Market
7 Analysis attached to it. He added that any prudent developer would not move forward without
s understanding of what they could achieve in terms of revenue. He added that a Detailed Market
9 Analysis is part of what they would be receiving at the next meeting.
10 Councilmember Thuesen indicated that they have been hearing new possibilities all throughout the
11 process, and expressed his hope that doors have not been closed on any of the suggested possibilities.
12 Mr. Rapp stated that he was there tonight to encourage them not to try to zero in too much on details.
13 He stressed that a general framework is the key, and added that a process like this requires patience.
14 Councilmember Thuesen stated that all of the patience could still bring them nothing when they receive
15 the two Concept Plans. Mr. Rapp stated that was true,yet a project of this magnitude requires-:
16 patience so that they will get a different result than the one.they had previously.'-'71°
17 Councilmember Horst stated that the Council had decided to not be too instrumental in the project, and
18 said that they have kept out of the business of the steering committee on the project. He added that he
19 was uncertain of what preferences have been concluded. Mr. Rapp stated that all of the discussions
20 and preferences and input would be included in the information to be received next month. He added
21 that there is an inevitable balance between financial feasibility and preferences and they will need to
22 make tradeoffs in order to make them work.
23 Councilmember Horst stated that the residents have had a difficult time with spending money in the
24 past. Mayor Cavanaugh identified the anxiety they are experiencing in waiting for July and addressed
25 Councilmember Horst by saying that they will have material with which to pursue his concerns come
26 July.
27 Mark Ruff, Ehlers and Associates, stated that they would be faced with a number of people who will be
28 interested in proposing on this development. He urged them to think of this document to be received
29 next month as a list of priorities of things such as public amenities. Mr. Ruff stated that it would help
30 them later on in negotiations with developers in terms of priorities and what they want to see out of this
31 development.
32 Councilmember Horst gave an example of townhomes, and not wanting to see them anywhere in the
33 new development, and asked how that type of public input would be helpful. Mr. Ruffstated that they
34 have the majority of the control on those types of issues, by keeping track of their list of priorities.

15 Avenue Northeast, from Wilson Street to Silver Lake Road; and intersection work at Edward Street,
16 Belden Drive and 32nd Avenue.
17 Mr. Hubmer stated the purpose for this year's reconstruction will include replacement of-waterrirain-and=
18 replacement of sanitary where it is needed and in areas where it will conflict with the new storm sewer
19 system. He reviewed the specifics and the proposed schedule for the 2002 project, with an anticipated
20 completion in September 2002, with a final pavement in 2003.
21 Councilmember Tliuesen asked about the narrowness of 31 St Avenue by St. Mary's Russian Greek
22 Orthodox Catholic Church Cemetery and whether, or not, there are any plans on what can be done.
23 Mr. Hubmer stated that they have begun conversations with them and that there are a number of issues
24 associated with the cemetery. He added that were going to work with the cemetery and try to acquire
25 some land back from them in order to widen the road back the original width.
26 Councilmember Hodson asked if they have taken the underground electrical situation that may be tied
27 to the reconstruction into consideration. Mr. Hubmer stated that they have considered that, and that
28 the City needs to determine if they want to spend the money.
29 Motion by Councilmember Hodson to adopt Resolution 01-068, re: Order preparation of report on
30 2002 street and utility improvements.
31 Motion carried unanimously.

City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
June 26, 2001
Page 8
I that must begin the Wellhead Planning Protection Process. He added that it is a requirement for the
2 State of Minnesota, and that it has to be completed within-the-next-three years.--==---
3 Mr. Hubmer indicated it was a two-phase completion: background information phase to collect
4 groundwater information that they can, as they believe a lot of the information has already been done,
5 but needs to be collaborated, and an examination of the City's water supply to determine what types of
6 policies need to be developed for land use. He added that the process needed to be completed by
7 2003.
8 Councilmember Sparks asked Mr. Hubmer to give a describe a Wellhead for the benefit of people
9 listening. Mr. Hubmer explained that a Wellhead is the area from which the well will actually draw the
10 water out of the ground. Thus, it is the area that they need to protect, in order to keep pollutants from
11 infiltrating the soil and get transmitted down into the drinking supply. Mayor Cavanaugh stated that they
12 were looking at things yet to arrive.
13 Mr. Hubmer added that the Department of Health has been very helpful and willing to help them
14 through every step of the process that they possibly can.
15 Motion by Councilmember Sparks to adopt Resolution 01-067, re Wellhead plan-proposal-from WSB
16 & Associates.
17 Motion carried unanimously.

19 Inc. (Todd Hubmer, WSB & Associates, Inc. will be present).
20 Mayor Cavanaugh stated that they all have read the update, and asked for any additional questions.
21 Councilmember Thuesen asked when the barriers will be removed along 29`h. Mr. Hubmer responded
22 that they would be removed when they believe that it is safe for the construction crews to resume the
23 regular traffic on that roadway. He continued that they have some retaining wall people that are still out
24 there doing installation, and when they are out running their equipment around, there is a safety hazard
25 when a lot of cars are using the road. He stated that they should be down by August Is'.
26 Councilmember Sparks expressed her frustration over the fact that they were originally told that the
27 barriers went up because they did not want any traffic on an un-surfaced road. She expressed her
28 irritation over the story changing from protecting an unpaved road to protecting workers. Mayor
29 Cavanaugh agreed with Councilmember Sparks, and stated that August V, 2001 seemed to be a
30 terrible stretch.
8 31 Councilmember Hodson stated they needed to consider the liability for the City. Mr. Hubmer stated
32 that it would have been open by now, had they not had all of the rain in June. He stated he would have
33 a conversation with the contractor to see what can be done.

4 received a lot of damage from the rain. He stated that it is a big project in terms of a roofing project,

24 Motion carried unanimously.
25 2. Ordinance 2001-2002, re: Electronic signs (1 S` reading).
26 Commissioner Thomas informed the Council that the discussion among the Planning
27 Commissioners was a very contentious issue, as they wanted to be proactive with an electronic
28 sign ordinance.
29 Commissioner Thomas said it was a question of whether to write the ordinance exactly how
30 they want it, line by line, or to hash out the details with the City Council's input and the
#3, recommendations of the Planning Commission and the sub-committee.
32 Commissioner Thomas stated that they wanted to essentially deal with the policy issue. He
33 added that most Commissioners agreed that the ordinance should be changed first, with the

I Commissioner Thomas stated that they were recommending a hybrid ordinance, and that, if the
2 City decides to go forward with an electronic-sign, they would.need-to-go back-to the Planning-
3 Commission to determine the aesthetic issues. He added that it was a split Commission, and
4 most felt uncomfortable without seeing the specifics of the ordinance. Commissioner Thomas
5 stated that they were willing to work with the Council to develop the final product.
6 Councilmember Thuesen asked Mr. Gilligan if he had an opinion on the issue. Mr. Gilligan
7 stated that he did not. He added that he thought it could be best used with the conditional use
8 process.
9 Commissioner Thomas stated that they were feeling they could move forward with the proposal
10 with an electronic sign.
11 Mayor Cavanaugh stated that he thought there were issues regarding public signs that should be
12 standardized. He added that the Planning Commission should institutionalize some of the
13 issues that have been brought up with the help of the legal council and draft something of
14 substance.
15 Mayor Cavanaugh stated that they could waive the readings.--Councilmember Hodson stated =--
16 that he was comfortable with the idea of dealing with the issue of operation standardization.
17 Mayor Cavanaugh stated that the Legal Council could provide some aid to the Planning
18 Commission, and that the issue should return to the Planning Commission.
19 Motion by Councilmember Thuesen to refer ordinance 2001-0.02 back to the Planning
20 Commission.
21 Motion carried unanimously.
22 Ron Hansen, a Village resident who spoke at the Planning Commission Meeting, asked when
23 his concerns regarding this issue could be addressed. Mayor Cavanaugh stated that they have
24 referred the ordinance back to the Planning Commission, and that the resolution would not be
25 acted on tonight.
26 Mr. Hansen stated that he had several questions regarding the ordinance change, and felt that
27 waiting for a month to have them heard would be too late. Mayor Cavanaugh stated that he
28 could come up and speak, but that he reserved the right to interrupt him, if he felt his questions
1#29 were inappropriate based on the decision to refer the ordinance back to the Planning
30 Commission.
31 Mr. Hansen came forward and stated he felt the way this thing was going through indicated that
32 it was a done deal. He stated he learned tonight from Mayor Cavanaugh that the City of St.

1 Anthony would have an electronic sign.
2 Mayor Cavanaugh interjected and reminded Mr. Hansen that the specifics of the sign have
3 gone back to the Planning Commission. He stated that, at the City Council meeting on July 24,
4 2001, they would have a recommendation from the Planning Commission, based on public
5 hearings.
6 Mr. Hansen asked why they are amending the ordinance. Mayor Cavanaugh responded that
7 they are amending the ordinance so that the city can build that kind of sign. Councilmember
s Thuesen stated that he believed that the majority of the residents see that an electronic sign
9 could be beneficial to the City. Councilmember Hodson agreed. Mr. Hansen stated he thought
10 that was untrue.
I t Mayor Cavanaugh continued that the Wilshire sign was not well thought out. Councilmember
12 Thuesen stated that the Wilshire sign was an embarrassment to the City. Mr. Hansen added
13 that the Wilshire sign was out of ordinance.
14 Mayor Cavanaugh stated that they were not going to rehash what w_as going to be a_ public=-
15 hearing on July 17, 2001.
16 Mr. Hansen said he appreciated their time, but was disappointed with his inability to fully
17 express his concerns with the issues surrounding the sign ordinance.
18 Mayor Cavanaugh stated that Mr. Hansen's comments from the Planning Commission Meeting
19 did accomplish a reshaping of the ordinance by the Legal Council and by the Planning
20 Commission, and that it was a situation where he needed to take one step at a time.
21 XII. REPORTS FROM CITY MANAGER AND COUNCILMEMBERS.
22 City Manager's report:
23 City Manager Morrison indicated that they are waiting for the House, Senate and Governor to resolve
24 their differences on the Property Tax Bill. He indicated that they are in limbo until then and that they
25 have their next budget presentation August 14, 2001.
26 Mr. Morrison stated that they have money in their Tax Increment Plan to demolish and remove the
27 Custom Liquidators Building. He added that he would like to have Jay Hartman work with one of their
28 firms to bid it out and see how much it would cost, in case they would have to act fast. Mayor
29 Cavanaugh stated if he thought there were funding, he would still push for a Community Building.
1030 Mayor Cavanaugh asked about the letter they received from the League of Minnesota Cities shutdown.
31 Mr. Morrison indicated that they he do not see it having a large impact. However, if the shutdown
32 would go into Labor Day, they may have some issues.

t XIII. INFORMATION AND ANNOUNCEMENTS.
2 Councilmember Sparks noted,that a group of residents were organizing an Intergenerational Theater
3 Project for the summer. She added that tryouts would be held at the High School next week on
4 Thursday and Friday evenings.
5 Councilmember Thuesen stated that the current library system would still be in the Shopping Center,
6 but the owners of the Shopping Center were not ready to publicly comment on where the new library
7 would go. He added that their latest estimation could be by the end of July, and the new library would
8 be more updated, and larger than the current library system. Councilmember Thuesen added it could
9 be up and running by November 161"
10 Councilmember Thuesen added that he read the letter from Assistant City Manager Sue Henry
I 1 regarding muffler noise, etc. He stated he would be anxious to see how it turns out, as he does not see
12 how it can be legislated. Councilmember Hodson stated that it is more of a small warning that gives the
13 officers the use of another enforcement tool.
14 Mayor Cavanaugh stated that noise is an issue for anyone living on the main roads..-,He-stated that he _.
15 was entertaining the idea to have the newspaper to do a story-on-the-noise-from:illegal mufflers:=He. --
16 stated that noise is a quality of life issue.
17 Mayor Cavanaugh stated that the worst part of being issued a speeding ticket was being pulled over.
18 He added that putting a sign up just encourages awareness and sensitivity to the noise issue.
19 Mayor Cavanaugh mentioned a letter he received from the daughter of the first mayor for the City of St.
20 Anthony. She is a senior now, who plays cards in the atrium, and asked why she has to pay a fee to
21 come up here and play cards. Mayor Cavanaugh stated that because card playing in the atrium is
22 under the community services umbrella, and community services charges fees for their programs.
23 Mayor Cavanaugh added that this was not the first time that the issue has come up, and wanted the
24 Council to be aware of his response.

Re: MMRWMO Capitol Budget and Levy Information
Date: July 18, 2001
Enclosed are the Draft 2002 budget and supporting documents for the capitol projects of the Middle
Mississippi River Watershed Management Organization. There are both capitol projects and programs
that are proposed. As we have discussed,capitol projects for the coming year would be undertaken only
in Minneapolis in the Upper Mississippi River, the Near North Project and the South East Minneapolis
Industrial areas. Capitol programs would be watershed wide and include a nonpoint source pollution
education effort, integrated planning for flood control, and, importantly, a new effort we are proposing
• to address combined sewer overflows—a one-time payment of$200,000 for CSO that each member
could utilized to address CSO's in their respective jurisdiction. In addition, this packet contains
information on the planned levy and tax capacity of each municipality.
If you have any questions, please call Tom Frame at (612) 673 — 5807 or Jon Steadland at (612) 673 —
5814. We look forward to meeting with the Council on July 24`".

Sronnwnter will discharge from streets acrd storm pipes through forebays.nrr ass level
spreaders,and through infiltration areas. Once cleansed,water will flow iron open ponds.
A"treatment train"approach will clean runoff prior to discharge into new ponds and the Mississippi River. Treatment techniques will include grit chambers,forebays,
level spreaders,infiltration strips.turf infiltration.amended soil profiles•and dry meadow,wet meadow,and aquatic plant communities. A detailed management plan
with treament protocols mid frequencies is being developed.
Middle Mississippi River Watershed Management Organization(MMRWMO)Year 2002 allocation of$1 million will be applied to Phase 1 area construction costs
for non-point source pollution water quality treatment for more than 400 acres. Other funding sources,such as state bond funds,city capital funds and sewer
fund,and Metropolitan Council grant funds,will pay for other Near Northside water system components such as storm drains,culverts,headwalls,the opening
of the Bassett Creek watercourse,and amenity features.
This innovative project will serve as an important model for developers and municipalities--for retrofitting natural systems and integrated stonnwater management into
die urban core,and for incorporating watershed protection throughout the residential deveioliniclit planning process.

Runoff and non-point source pollution managed in the Near Northside water system will
- ---- — include not only the 143-acre redevelopment area(shown in red)but also neighboring
residential areas,commercialtindustrial parking lots,and even portions of Olson Highway,
for a total of over 400 acres(shown in blue). The various colored areas indicate the many
subwatersheds that will be tributary to the Near Northside water system.
The City of Mumeapolis'Near Northside Redevelopment project will create 900 units of mixed-income.mixed-density•high-amenity housing in
north Minneapolis on the site of four demolished public housing developments. The area has long suffered from wet areas and structural problems due to
clay and organic deposits in this ancient river valley. The innovative water and park system will be built in areas of the most problematic soils for housing
and will manage die area's rmtoff,improve water quality,create a sense of place and neighborhood pride,and bring back a watercourse and wetlands to
Bassett Creek's historic floodplain area.
Demolished barracks-style housing and superblocks--with frequent stonnwater infiltration problems as in photo at left--will be replaced wide
single-family and multi-family]lorries whose scale and style are drawn from die city's best traditions and most beloved neighborhood features.
public housing and other low-income units will be interspersed with,and indistinguishable from,market-rate housing.

Aqua Park and is the property of the City of Minneapolis. This area suffers from severe
erosion problems. The proposal includes making bank improvements to reduce soil
erosion, re-vegetating the area, and planting trees. A canoe beach is planned along with a
fishing pier to encourage public recreation in the park and to provide a link between
people and the river.
The MMRWMO has identified the City of Minneapolis Public Works Department and
• the Aquatennial Association as partners to work with to improve both the quality and
aesthetics of the riverbank and provide recreational opportunity in the park. Currently, the
Aquatennial Association coordinates community volunteers to do park cleanup on a
monthly basis.

Combined Sewer Overflows Program—Funding will be provided to public works
• departments and/or other municipal departments within the watershed to eliminate CSOs.
Problem:
Any inflow of rainwater into the sanitary sewer system; i.e. parking lot and yard drains,
area-way drains, street catch basins and building downspout connections, severely
overloads the sewer systems of municipalities in the MMRWMO. To avoid backflow
into homes in the municipality, the excessive flow is either directed to the river at
designated overflow points.
Watershed-wide project objectives include:
1. Determine excessive inflow areas in member municipalities
2. Determine capacity bottlenecks that influence CSOs.
3. Provide a prioritized list of high inflow areas
4. Establish alternative improvements to eliminate CSOs
Figure 1 shows the combined flows with overflow to the river:

One Alternative is Rain Leader Disconnect - During any rain event non-point source
pollution,via surface drainage, enters the storm sewer system and is transported to its
receiving body. As a storm increases in intensity, another problem arises: combined
sewer overflow (CSO). CSO occurs when a sanitary sewer exceeds its capacity and
overflows through an overflow regulator into an adjacent storm sewer to prevent sewage
backflows into.homes, businesses, and property. Contributors to this problem are area
roof drains and other surface area drainage that are connected to the sanitary sewer
system. The.MMRWMO looks to address this problem by eliminating these connections.
By-elirriinating.these.connections, the capacity of-the sanitary system.can be-maintained
for_its_intended_use,and--the CSO.regulators can be removed. Areas where.cross-
connections:exist.between.the.sanitary and.storm.sewers-,z-111 be the primary targets-for
this-.program.:The-estimated-cost to disconnect a rain.leade'r for a residential.property is
_approximatelyS754150; for a commercial or industrial property the cost can:run from
$75 - $100,000.
Combined Sewer Overflows Pronrrrnr
Integrated Flood/Drought Planning
Prevent Flooding-MMRWMO's goal is to prevent the flooding of streets and structures from surface water
runoff within the MMRW caused by the insufficient capacity of the stormdrain system and/or lack of detention
basins and wetlands.Flooding can occur when the capacity of existing drainage facilities is inadequate or when
new construction overloads existing drainage facilities by increasing the runoff quantity and decreasing the time
of concentration. The MMRWMO has jurisdiction over flooding of significant impact in the MMRW or when
flooding is at the border of more than one member community.
Action: Work with various government agencies, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to identify
appropriate projects that the MMRWMO can help implement. The MMRWMO will especially encourage flood
control projects that simultaneously promote improved water quality.
Design standards will be set following an intercommunity flows analysis discussed in Section 3.
Intercommunity Flows Analysis of subwatersheds will utilize a model that can be applied to these
eercommunity areas. Any resulting design standards will not be based on storm events—for instance, the City
of Minneapolis strives to design for a ten-year, one-hour event (2.29 inches of rainfall in one hour)—rather,
design standards shall be simply to reduce the probability of flooding by addressing those areas that manifested
I
as problem-flooding areas during the wet summers of the 1990's.
Drought Mitigation - Drought conditions have numerous environmental, economic, infrastructure-based,
health, and aesthetic consequences. A lack of detention basins and wetlands coupled with a high percentage of
impervious surfaces reduces the landscape's ability to store water and promotes evaporation thereby increasing
the effects of drought.
Action: (1) Monitor and engage, where appropriate, water supply planning efforts prepared.by agencies such as
.the Metropolitan.Council, US_Environmental.Protection Agency (US EPA),Minnesota Department of Natural
Resources.(MDNR),.and Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). (2)If appropriate, considering the

COMMUNITY OUTREACH
& EDUCATION PROGRAM
M. M. R. W. M. O.
r Middle Mississippi River Watershed Management Organization
The Middle Mississippi River Watershed Community Outreach & Education Program was
developed to engage the public in watershed protection. The program specifically addresses the
Middle Mississippi River Watershed Management Organization's (MMRWMO) plan for educational
opportunities within the community.
"The Middle Mississippi River Management Organization will initiate, support, and coordinate with
other units...activities that provide residents and businesses of the watershed with information about
the need to protect both water and land resources in the area."
. Community Outreach & Education Program Goal
• To address the public's watershed concerns.
• To create a link between the community and the watershed.
• To carry out community outreach and education programs.
• To engage the public in the implementation and monitoring of watershed projects.
. To publicize watershed issues, concerns, and projects.
This program encourages the community to reach out to the watershed. The Community
Outreach & Education Program will provide the community with the following support:
• Educational materials
• Technical support
• Financial support
• Staff time
• Community contacts
The Community Outreach & Education Program hopes to foster a relationship with the
community that will aid in the protection of the Middle Mississippi River Watershed. For
watershed conservation to occur, both the community and watershed partners need to take pride
in one's land and water resources and understand the importance of one's actions. Through
0 education, awareness can be accomplished.

Middle Mississippi River Watershed Levy
r
1
The tax capacity of the watershed is listed at the top of each spreadsheet. Hennepin County
Taxpayer Services put together the spreadsheets for the watershed.
The spreadsheets include the following information:
- Tax rates by levy amount
- Projected taxes on residential and commercial properties by levy amount
After the first year of the levy, the tax rates will drop due to fiscal disparities. For example, on a levy of
$3.5 million with a tax capacity of$153,477,624:
$100,000 house would pay: $1,000,000 business would pay:
2001/2002 $26.37 $780.10
• 2002/2003 $22.94 678.53
2003/2004 $23.36 $691.18
2004/2005 $23.30 $689.47
If property values rise in Minneapolis as projected next year(approximately 30%), the tax capacity
would go from $153,477,624 in 2001/2002 to $203,060,904 in 2002/2003. For a levy of$3.5 million:
'$100,000 house would pay: $1,000,000 business would pay:

Subject: Proposal for Services
Dear Mr. Mornson;
Thank you for the opportunity to submit a proposal for Development Management Services related to
implementation of the Northwest Quadrant Study.
Assumptions
Our proposal for services is an extension of work related the Northwest Quadrant Study and is based on the
following assumptions:
❖ The City of St. Anthony Village will be selecting development options and a Design Framework for.the
Northwest Quadrant.
❖ There is a significant gap between the projected cost of acquisition, relocation, cleanup and the estimated
project revenue including land sale proceeds and tax increment. A variety of strategies will need to be
explored to make the redevelopment viable. These strategies will include land write down, phasing
acquisition, incorporating existing businesses into new development and grants.
Scope of Services
Ehlers will provide the following Development Management services:
1. Prepare requests for proposals.
2. Market project to potential developers.
3. Coordinate pre-proposal conference.
4. Coordinate proposal evaluation.
5. Prepare financial feasibility analysis.
6. Prepare developer proposal evaluation report to City Council.
7. Prepare tax increment plan.
8. Coordinate developer qualification and selection.
9. Coordinate alternative funding proposals.
10. Coordinate land write down requests.
11. Assist in negotiation of preliminary and final development agreements.
12. Coordinate project communications.
24
Project Staff
Ehlers staff assigned to this project would include Jim Prosser and Mark Ruff. Copies of qualifications are
attached for your review. Mr. Prosser is currently providing Development Management services for the cities of
Eagan, Mound, Shoreview, Osseo,.Oak Grove and Falcon Heights.-Planning service will continue to be provided
by the firm of Dahlgren, Shardlow and Uban(DSU). Planning services will be required for the pre-proposal
conference, preparation of RFP design framework summary and review/evaluation of proposals. John Shardlow
will provide those services. Communications assistance will be provided by Jill Schultz of JMS
Communications. JMS will assist in implementation of the communications plan as approved by the City
Council.
Proposed Fee for Services
Ehlers services will be billed at$150 per hour. It is estimated that project management will average 20 to 25
hours per month. DSU planning fees are expected to range from $5,000 to $7,500 depending on the number of
proposals received. JMS fees will depend on the scope of communications plan approved by the City Council.
Ehlers' Strengths
Ehlers extensive experience with municipal finance, tax increment and development management services
provide a solid foundation for assisting cities to achieve their redevelopment goals. We look forward to the
opportunity to discuss this proposal with you at your convenience.

St. Anthony Northwest Redevelopment Planning Study
Draft Communications Plan
1. The Framework for Redevelopment Communications
Redevelopment is always difficult because it involves change and change is hard for
people. They love the results,but hate the process. There are basically five different
phases of the redevelopment process for this project. Each has its own set of concerns and
issues for the public. An effective communications component to a redevelopment project
moves the public through all five phases to the results.
Redevelopment Project Phases
Phase 1 --Need Identification
The city identifies an area or areas in need of redevelopment. In this phase, the
public has little or no awareness of the potential redevelopment project and may
or may not agree with the need for redevelopment or what role the city should
play. The key communication issues during this phase include forecasting key
messages about the need, and the primary purpose for the redevelopment, whether
that is blight removal, improved tax base, enhanced "gateway".image of a
community or something else. It important to settle on'one prime goal for the
redevelopment. While there can be secondary goals, settling on a primary goal
will help to avoid measuring the redevelopment's success using different
yardsticks. That primary goal will need to be reiterated and underscored
throughout the project. A decision is made in this phase to proceed with a
redevelopment concept. A communications plan is drafted at this point in the
process to serve as a blue print for ongoing communications efforts.
Phase 2 -- Concept Development and Refinement
This phase encompasses the planning process, beginning with the design of a
redevelopment concept. A group is identified to assist with concept development,
and broad-based community input is received. The communications process
forecasts the need and purpose for the redevelopment and the planning process.
The redevelopment process identifies desired outcomes, potential redevelopment
uses and design ideas, and designates the redevelopment area.
The concept is tested for market and financial feasibility with the help of
developers and market specialists. The redevelopment concept is then refined,
based on the financial and market analysis. A critical communications/public
participation issue in this phase is the need to involve the community in the
refinements of that concept. At this phase there may be some growing awareness
of the potential redevelopment project in the community. Communications efforts
2
27
must increase knowledge about the project, especially as it relates to the need,the
purpose, the plans, the process and public participation.
Phase 3 -- Developer Selection
At this phase the city contacts qualified developers and discusses the
redevelopment concept and program, identifying developers for a qualification
process. Developers' experience and financial capabilities are assessed. One or
more developers is selected for further analysis of the redevelopment feasibility.
The city reviews general plans, including uses, design concepts, densities and
financial feasibly with developers. Communications efforts from the previous
phase continue throughout this phase. Even though community awareness of the
redevelopment project may be growing, it is likely few believe the redevelopment
will really happen.
Phase 4 --Development Agreement
Most of the planning is completed and a developer has been selected, but the
project is still months from construction. A pre-development agreement is
negotiated with one or more developers, providing a period of exclusive rights for
development. In that agreement, the developer refines plans and assesses market
feasibility. In the development agreement,the developer secures a lease
commitment and financing for the project.The developer-also completes land use -
and other regulatory reviews:Finally, the development agreement occurs-when-- --the developer removes development agreement contingencies and initiates land
acquisition and building design. By this time, the public already has some
awareness that the project has begun and is moving forward, but there is little or
no visible proof of redevelopment. Opponents continue to resist change.
Supporters don't understand what is taking so long.
Phase S -- Construction
All development agreements are final, acquisition has begun and even some initial
demolition of existing properties has occurred. Many early opponents have
accepted that the redevelopment is taking place,but the new development is still
not up and visible to the public. Public concern has shifted from the pre-existing
businesses and homes to the new development that will replace the old properties.
There are concerns about the impacts of those new businesses and housing
developments on the community. At this point, it is important to keep
communications efforts up, providing a vision for the futurd redevelopment, and
reiterating need, purpose and benefits to the community.
2. St. Anthony Northwest Redevelopment Planning Study
Background
3
28
The City of St. Anthony has been planning for redevelopment of Apache Plaza
since the mid-1990s. Constructed in 1961, the mall has declined in status and
suffered high vacancy rates due to competition in the Rosedale Mall area and
tornado damage. The City's 1998 comprehensive plan identifies Apache Plaza for
redevelopment. In the summer of 2000, Hillcrest Development-approached the
City with a proposal to reuse the mall for mixed-use office/high tech industrial
development. The City amended its comprehensive plan to create a commercial
mixed-use district. The Hillcrest proposal for a high tech office use was not
approved.
During negotiations with Hillcrest, the City discovered that the Salvation Army
planned to sell its Fresh Air Camp site located to the north of Apache Plaza.
Immediately, the City realized the unique opportunity and wants to explore
development possibilities presented by the site.
Although the City continues to receive inquiries.about the Apache Plaza site,
many of them have been for piecemeal development. The City realizes that
redevelopment of parcels of this size and desirability requires careful analysis and
ultimately a master plan. To that end, the City is conducting a master plan study
for the 250-acre area that includes both the Apache Plaza Mall and the Salvation
Army Fresh Air Camp.
3. Purpose for the Communications Plan
The purpose of this communications plan is to help St. Anthony to organize its
Northwest Redevelopment Planning Study communications and outreach efforts
with the public and with other important groups, also called"target audiences".
This plan identifies a set of target audiences, goals, key messages, tools,tactics
and strategies to accomplish that communications effort. This communications
plan looks out one year but should be reviewed quarterly and updated to maintain
a proactive communications effort.
4. Target Audiences
• All Residents
• Residents and businesses within or bordering the redevelopment study area
• City CounciI/HRA
• Other Community Opinion Leaders
4
29
-- Board and commission members, including Planning Commission
-- Chamber of Commerce/Business Community =
-- Schools
-- Civic organizations
-- Community groups
• Apache Plaza Mall property owners
Salvation Army property owners
• News Media
5. Communications Goals
The plan's communications goals correspond to the target audiences: Each of the
communications tactics and strategies listed in this plan are built from these goals.
Goal No.1 All Residents
To keep all St. Anthony residents informed throughout the study about the
need for the redevelopment, the progress of the study and its outcome,
especially as it pertains to potential development.
Goal No. 2 Residents and Businesses in and bordering the Redevelopment Area
To involve home owners, business owners and tenants in and bordering
the redevelopment area in the study; to keep them informed about the what
and why of potential redevelopment and the timing of future activities,
especially those dealing with acquisition and relocation.
Goal No. 3 City Council/HRA
To keep the City Council (HRA) informed throughout the planning
process, providing them with the information they need to address
community questions and inform community members.
Goal No. 4 Other Community Opinion Leaders
To keep community opinion leaders informed about the redevelopment
and provide them with the information they need to inform community
members and answer questions.
Goal No. 5 Apache Plaza Mall and Salvation Army Property Owners
5
S®
To keep the property owners of the Apache Plaza Mall and Salvation Army
Fresh Air Camp properties informed about the study and ongoing progress
of planning activities.
Goal No. 6 News Media
To provide the news media with accurate and timely information on the St.
Anthony redevelopment study, enabling the news media to assist in keeping
community members.informed.
6. Key Messages
The key messages for the St. Anthony Redevelopment Planning Study will grow and
evolve as the project develops. However, throughout the project it will always be critical
to reiterate the need, the purpose, the benefits, what happens if nothing is done, and how
the public can stay informed and involved.
1) St. Anthony is conducting a redevelopment planning study for an area of about
250 acres including the Apache Plaza Mall and the Salvation Army Fresh Air
Camp site.
2) Apache Plaza Mall was once a focal point of St. Anthony but changes in retail
trends have made it less relevant to the community.
3) Redevelopment would once again make the Apache Plaza Mall area a community
asset, enhancing the vitality of the entire community.
4) The Salvation Army is actively marketing the Fresh Air Camp site for sale and
development. The City wants to ensure the development of the site is
complimentary with the community's needs.
5) A citizen's group, working with a planning consultant, will conduct a yearlong
master planning study for the Apache Plaza/Salvation Army study area.
6) The study will result in a redevelopment concept for the site that will be based on
the community's needs, market demand and financial feasibility.
7) The community will be invited to attend the study's bimonthly citizen's group
meetings, a project open house and a community issues forum, and will also be
kept informed through the City newsletter, the City's website and area
newspapers.

Re: Truth in Taxation Law Changes for Payable 2002
Special Session Laws 2001, Chapter 5, Article 3, Sections 91 and 96 provide the
following changes for Truth in Taxation for levy year 2001, taxes payable in 2002:
• Due to the late enactment of the Omnibus Tax Bill and the massive changes
in the property tax system for the taxes payable year 2002, Truth in Taxation
public hearings in 2001 for taxes payable in 2002 are not required. You do
not need to publish or post a notice of a public hearing, nor do you need to
hold a public Truth in Taxation hearing this year. These hearings will once
again be required for taxes payable in 2003 and subsequent years.
• The elimination of the requirement to hold a Truth in Taxation public hearing in
2001 does not prohibit a taxing authority from holding a Truth in Taxation
hearing if it wants to. If your taxing authority chooses to hold a Truth in
Taxation hearing this year, you should follow the normal procedures for
publication/posting of a notice of a Truth in Taxation public hearing and the
normal procedures for discussion of the proposed budget for payable 2002 (2001
budget in the case of school districts) and proposed property tax levy for payable
2002.
• You should not submit a Form TNT-2002, "Certification of Truth in
Taxation —Payable 2002" to the Department of Revenue. Since Truth in
Taxation hearings are not required this year, there is no reason to complete
and submit this form. You may toss the Form TNT-2002 that you previously
received from our office.
• Your taxing authority must still submit its proposed property tax levy for payable
2002 to the county auditor by September 17, 2002 (October 1 for school districts).
The county auditor still needs this information to prepare parcel specific notices
of proposed property taxes for each parcel of real property for the taxes payable
year 2002.
Continued...
An equal opportunity employer TTY/TDD: (651)297-2196
• The Truth in Taxation parcel specific notices for payable 2002,have been
simplified. Only one column of tax information for each taxing authority will be
shown on this notice. This will be the proposed property taxes of each taxing
authority for payable 2002. The notice will also show the new state general tax
for payable 2002, as well as the actual total tax for payable 2001 and 2002 and the
percent change in the total tax. For school districts, the mandated school levy
line will show a zero levy due to the state takeover of the funding of this levy
requirement through an expanded school aid program. The parcel specific
notice will also show the telephone numbers of each taxing authority in case the
property owner/taxpayer has questions concerning the proposed property taxes for
payable 2002 shown on the notice. The parcel specific notices are to be mailed
on or before December 14, 2001.
• The Commissioner of Revenue is granted authority to modify the contents of the
parcel specific notice as necessary.
• Based on information supplied by a particular county, and at the request of
the county board, the Commissioner of Revenue may waive the requirement
for parcel specific notices or modify the form of the notices for a specific
county.
• The tax rate increase hearings and resolutions law (M.S. 275.078) is repealed
effective for levy year 2001, taxes payable 2002, and subsequent years.
County auditors do not have to certify a levy certification tax rate to the -
county board and to each city over 500 population this year. In addition,
county boards and cities over-500 population no longer have to hold hearings
on a levy certification tax rate increase and adopt resolutions approving a
levy certification tax rate increase..However, there is a new requirement for
the published Truth in Taxation notices for counties And for cities over 2,500
population for payable 2003 and subsequent years that replaces the tax rate_
increase hearings and resolutions law.

Dear Mr. Larson,
The 2001 Legislature made major changes in the way property taxes are calculated
beginning with taxes payable in 2002. Due to the significant changes needed to be
made before the Truth in Taxation notices can be prepared, the latest date to mail the
notices has been extended from November 24, 2001 to December 14, 2001.
Therefore, the requirement for the taxing jurisdictions to hold public hearings in 2001
for taxes payable in 2002 has been waived. The hearings will again be required in
2002 for payable 2003.
However, a simpler version of the Truth in Taxation notices will -be sent-out this -
year and we need to verify the accuracy of the mailing address and the phone number
that was used last year. Please review the attached form and either confirm the
information shown or make the necessary changes in the space provided.
As in the past, the expense of preparing and mailing the Truth in Taxation notices is to
be divided in thirds among the county, school, and city. Each city's portion of the third
will be determined by the number of parcels in your city. You will be billed in December
after the mailing costs have been determined.
If you have any questions, please contact me at 612-348-5100.

10 VIII. PUBLIC HEARINGS.
11 8.1 Northwest Quadrant Planning Study Report/Concept Options.
12 a. Report/Presentation by Dahlgren, Shardlow, and Uban (DSU).
13 John Shardlow indicated that he would be reviewing the final report of the Northwest Quadrant
14 Task Force. He stated that the report concentrates on the southern third of the 250-acre study
15 area, from Silver Lane to the railroad tracks and from Stinson Boulevard to Silver Lake Road,
16 focusing on the Apache Mall property.
17 Mr. Shardlow stated that the redevelopment ideas included in this report do not directly affect
18 Silver Lake or the neighborhood bordering the lake to the south except that the quality of runoff
19 entering the lake from the Apache site will be improved through redevelopment. He informed
20 the Commission that the northern third of the site, currently the Salvation Army Camp, is in the
21 final stages of acquisition by the Suburban Hennepin Regional Park District.
22 Mr. Shardlow stated that the report documents the entire planning process to date, including the
23 results of the initial background studies conducted by the consultant team.
24 Mr. Shardlow indicated that Jim Prosser, Ehlers and Associates, was present and would be the
25 person responsible for marketing the project to developers, which is the next phase in the
26 project.
27 Mr. Shardlow continued by reviewing the two basic Redevelopment Concepts that are
28 presented with this report. He added that the Concepts illustrate what could reasonably occur
29 on the site, demonstrating proper uses, site configurations, and the relative intensities of use
30 necessary to support the redevelopment. He stated that the Concepts are illustrated to exhibit
31 several key development principles and patterns.
32
33 Mr. Shardlow indicated that the Redevelopment Concepts do not contain definitive site plans
34 but they are reasonable examples of what is feasible given the current market conditions and
35 financial constraints. He added that the Concepts are important and instructive as they allow
36 the community of St. Anthony to visualize the look bLnd feel of patterns and styles of
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes
July 17, 2001
Page 3
1 development that could occur on the site as part of a full-scale redevelopment of the Apache
2 Mall area.
3 Mr. Shardlow indicated that the Report is intended to be transmitted along with the request for
4 proposals to developers. He added that it summarizes the process, and identifies the concerns
5 and issues that have been identified by the community. Mr. Shardlow added that the document
6 also includes the Master Framework Plan.
7 Mr. Shardlow continued that they have put together some designs, and that it is not a time for
8 anyone to panic.
9 Mr. Shardlow stated that the Concepts have been designed to reflect the balance between the
10 various land uses identified through the market demand study conducted for the study area. He
1 t indicated that the densities identified reflect the fact that a redevelopment project would have to
12 be capable of generating considerable revenue through tax increment financing in order to offset
13 the sizeable upfront costs associated with redeveloping the site.
14 Mr. Shardlow stated that the work of the Steering Committee, input received from the
15 community at the Community Issues Forum, and initial discussions held with the development
16 community were also used to develop the concepts.
17 Mr. Shardlow discussed the Salvation Army Building, and the likely purchase of the building by
18 the Suburban Hennepin County Park Reserves. He indicated that the potential sale would take
19 away one of the cornerstones of the economic strategy for trying to redevelop the over-tired
20 site.
21 Mr. Shardlow referred to the great financial gap in the project which would be discussed later
22 in the evening by Mr. Prosser.
23 Mr. Shardlow stated that there was a great deal of unutilized center space on the site that was
24 also inaccessible. He indicated that they felt there needed to be a strong sense of entrance into
25 the site, and that it would be necessary to reestablish some type of street system to the area.
26 Mr. Shardlow explained that the Concepts both indicate the need to add more of a parkway to
27 the center spine, with some high image open-space area. Examples of the open-space were
28 trails, a community bandshell, gazebos, etc.
29 Mr. Shardlow indicated that the reason they eliminated low-density residential development in
30 their recommendation was because it was not economically feasible to tear down the building
31 and redevelop the site, and only generate the revenue that would result from only low-density
32 residential development. He added that it was important for the concern by the community for
33 low-density residential development to be included in the evaluation criteria for the developers
34 as they come in.
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes
July 17, 2001

1 Mr. Shardlow reviewed the Residential Redevelopment Concept and indicated that the goal is
2 to provide St. Anthony Village with a dynamic new residential neighborhood that will be
3 thoughtfully designed and built to compliment the community while at the same time establishing
4 its own sense of identity.
5 The Concept has a total of 850 housing units: 12 single family homes, 68 town-homes, a 100
6 unit senior high rise, 340 units of 3 story multiple family dwellings, and 330 units of 4 story
7 multiple family dwellings. The Concept also includes 75,000 square feet of mixed commercial
8 redevelopment.
9 Mr. Shardlow indicated that, based upon the Market Research Report, this site does not have
10 the visibility to be a"Class A"office building. But, he added, they have been contacted by
11 people who were looking for sites for corporate headquarters that were very similar to what
12 this Concept Plan includes. However, it was not without obstacles. Thus, Mr. Shardlow
13 continued, they felt the need to develop a Concept Plan that would show how they could
14 accommodate up to 500,000 square feet of corporate office on the site.
15 Mr. Shardlow reviewed the Corporate Campus/Residential Redevelopment Concept and
16 indicated that the goal is to provide St. Anthony Village with a strong base of well paying jobs
17 in a multi-building corporate campus facility on the site of the existing Apache Plaza.
18 The Concept includes 500,000 square feet of corporate offices in multiple buildings and 2,000
19 parking spaces that includes a 5 level parking facility on the east half of the site. The west half
20 would be a residential neighborhood with 406 housing units. The housing includes 150 town-
21 homes, a 100 unit senior high rise, and 156 units of three and four story multi-family housing
22 units. The Concept also includes 75,000 square feet of retail development.
23 Mr. Shardlow stated that, in order for a new development to happen, it was necessary to have
24 a Master Framework to be given to the developer. He added that the idea of the Master
25 Framework was to make sure they were clear about the major elements.
26 Mr. Shardlow stated that having the parking take a backseat to the buildings themselves and
27 framing the roadways with the buildings was the idea that they were working toward.
28 Mr. Shardlow summarized the key factors that were included in the Master Framework:
29 Development Principles and Patterns, Street Patterns, Open Spaces,Natural Environment, and
30 Building Development. He added that it was premature to get into any sign criteria at this point,
31 but the general nature would include continuity in signage and lighting.
32 Mr. Shardlow indicated that the next step would be to have meetings with Metropolitan Council
33 and property owners. He added that, prior to new legislation, they had a manageable financial
34 gap. Mr. Shardlow indicated that the changes in state tax structure took 40%of the revenue
35 out of tax increment financing, which left hundreds bf projects around the state to be under-
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes
July 17, 2001
Page 5
1 funded.
2 Mr. Shardlow concluded that this is a project perfectly positioned to bring to Metropolitan
3 Council. He added, that this is one of the opportunity sites identified by the Metropolitan
4 Council and stated that they did assist in the funding for some of the studies done for this
5 project. Fortunately, he added, this is the first project to be at this point.
6 Mr. Shardlow stated that it is also important to meet with the bank that owns the property and
7 discuss the potential ways that they feel the gap could be closed.
s Mr. Shardlow added that this is not a hopeless situation, but there exist some significant gaps
9 that need to be dealt with.
10 Mr. Shardlow stated that the decision on part of Salvation Army to probably sell to the
11 Hennepin County Park Reserve, and the change in tax structure are the two significant changes
12 that have occurred since the onset of this project.
13 Mr. Shardlow stated their recommendation is that the Planning Commission accept this report
14 and recommend that the City Council direct the consultant team to move forward in marketing
15 the site for redevelopment. He indicated that by approving this report, they will be indicating
16 their conditional agreement that developments of the style, use and intensity indicated in the
17 concepts are appropriate for the site and will be beneficial to the community.
18 Jim Prosser came forward to discuss three topics: reviewing the framework for concepts
19 included in the Plan, the financial challenges, and the specifics about the next step.
20 Mr. Prosser stated that they would provide a framework, a building block, to look at
21 redevelopment options for the area. He indicated that the information is to be used by the
22 developers to give them a very general framework for preparation of development proposals.
23 Mr. Prosser stated that it is very likely that the development proposals that result from the
24 proposal process will vary extensively from what is found in the framework. He stated it is
25 important to note that this is not any formal zoning for approval.
26 Mr. Prosser reviewed the challenges faced by this redevelopment. He stated it was an
27 ambitious undertaking to begin with. He indicated that the city involvement is critical in this
28 project, and that, without intervention on the part of the City, redevelopment would not occur.
29 Mr. Prosser stated that the challenges are quite clear. He indicated that changes in the tax
30 laws have created a nearly 40% gap in the project, versus a previously comfortable 10% gap.
31 Mr. Prosser then asked if the process was still possible, to which he responded yes. He stated
32 that there existed three alternatives: Talking to the property owners to reduce cost of purchase,
33 Looking at some of the other businesses along Silver Lake Road that could be designed into a
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes
July 17, 2001
Page 6
1 more focused retail center, and For the City to look at gaining some grant funds from
2 Metropolitan Council or the state.
3 Mr. Prosser addressed the third issue of where to go from this point. He stated that once a
4 Concept Plan is approved it would go to the development marketplace. He indicated that the
5 developers would want to see that there is a vision and a commitment from the City. He
6 indicated that they would then ask for proposals to be reviewed by Planners. Mr. Prosser
7 stated that the Planners would not be making recommendations but provide them with the tools
8 needed to make decisions.
9 Mr. Prosser stated that, once a developer(s) is selected for preliminary acceptance, the
10 developer(s) goes back to the Plan to provide more details and then go back to the community
11 before they go to the Planning Commission and the City Council. He explained that they would
12 be in the position to proceed with a more formal development procedure at that point.
13 Mr. Prosser stated that they want to seek a developer who works well with the community, has
14 a flexible track record, and has the ability to secure outside funding. Mr. Prosser indicated that
15 there are certainly challenges ahead, but they are confident that the community of St. Anthony is
16 poised to address those challenges.
17 b. Commission comments.
18 Vice Chair Stille asked Mr. Prosser if they needed to approach Metropolitan Council early on.
19 Mr. Prosser stated that they would suggest sitting down with Metropolitan Council as soon as a
20 document is approved. He stated that this project should get the attention of the Metropolitan
21 Council, even though they have several projects of the same nature that they are funding. He
22 added that they would need to have a developer before approaching Metropolitan Council.
23 Chair Melsha stated he was trying to determine how challenging the obstacles they are facing
24 really are. Mr. Shardlow indicated that the last legislative session really eliminated any sense of
25 certainty for the future. He added that the Metropolitan Council has been very clear to cluster
26 their support for the communities that are re-investing in.themselves, and stopping sprawl,
27 which is the City of St. Anthony.
28 Commissioner Tillmann asked about the Master Framework Plan, and asked for some specific
29 examples that came directly from the Steering Committee. Mr. Shardlow indicated that they
30 went through some exercises with the community and surveys of visual preferences. He stated
31 that from that input, they drafted goals for the project, which led to the Concept Plans.
32 Mr. Shardlow identified some of the concerns that have been expressed by the community
33 which were the number of school- aged kids generated from this development, and the long-
34 term maintenance of the area. He stated that what they were unable to deliver on was low
35 residential and wide-open spaces.
36 Chair Melsha referred to the Task Force and the tour that they went on with Mr. Shardlow,
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes
July 17, 2001
Page 7
1 and asked him what resulted from that tour. Mr. Shardlow stated that members of the Task
2 Force should respond to the question of their perception. He added that they looked at other
3 cities on the tour,and the people seemed to be more comfortable with the project, having seen
4 actual examples.
s Chair Melsha added that the project can be done, if done right. Mr. Shardlow added that
6 building quality, everyone wins.
7 Commissioner Tillmann asked about Corporate Campus versus Residential, and stated that one
8 of the cons of Corporate Campus stated that it might bring demand on the city. Mr. Shardlow
9 stated that real challenge would be a matter of weighing the pros and cons. He added that
10 there are traffic implications of people coming and leaving a corporate entity at the same time of
11 day that would effect traffic.
12 Chair Melsha thanked both gentlemen for their information, and invited members of the
13 community to come forward and keep their comments brief and concise.
14 C. Public Input.
15 Jim McNulte, member of the Steering Committee, stated he was now in favor of high-density..
16 Mr. Thorby stated that the tour showed them that what the city is trying to do is not
17 progressive, but other cities are doing it. He added that he was a little put off by the multiple
18 family proposal, and that the Corporate Campus Plan has obtainable objectives. He stated that
19 difficult tasks are often broken up in order to digest them, and that the Corporate Campus Plan
20 had the opportunity to speed up the process, by using several different developers. He
21 concluded that funding is a huge task for them.
22 Resident Stan Nelson read the following statement:
23 "My comments are based on the information presented tonight along with two editions of the
24 SAV Redevelopment Update brochure, the latest edition of the SAV Village Notes and
25 watching closed circuit TV coverage of the June Planning Commission and City Council
26 meetings where the consultants gave updates.
27
28 Three Recommendations:
29 1. The Planning Commission should vote to put this project on hold until the Salvation
30 Army site purchase by the Hennepin County Regional Parks has either been completed
31 or scrapped.
32 a. Geoff Batzel told me that the inclusion of the Salvation Army site in the planning
33 mix with the Apache site could change the nature of the entire project and make
34 it possible to propose a lower density option for the Apache site.
35 b. The contractors that are to be contacted surely know about the Salvation Army
36 site and they will not be bashful about asking and even demanding that the
37 future for the Salvation Army site be established before they spend
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes
July 17, 2001
Page 8
I development/proposal dollars on a Apache only site plan.
2 C. Our mayor states in the latest edition of Village Notes:
3 `We should know soon if the Salvation Army Camp has been officially purchased by
4 Hennepin Regional Parks.'
5
6 2. Again the Planning Commission should put this project on hold until you have obtained
7 and evaluated written statements from District 282 schools and from the St. Anthony
8 Police, Fire and Maintenance Departments as to what capital outlays in buildings and
9 equipment plus staff increases will be required to support this project.
10 a. I think we can assume an influx of 300 to 500 children of school age. This
I I would require the building of new school facilities plus more teachers.
12 b. The Police Department will need at the very least more policeman. The Fire
13 Department will probably need more engines, facilities and staff. The
14 Maintenance Department may need more sewage treatment infrastructure and
15 maybe a new well to support the increase in fresh water needs.
16 C. We need to know what these capital and recurring costs will be before
17 proceeding with this project because only the current citizens of St. Anthony
18 Village will be paying for these new expenditures due to Tax Increment
19 Financing. Can the current citizens of SAV afford whatever this number is?
20 3. Now that we have some concept drawings and building density estimates-the-Planning . -
21 Commission should recommend that the NW Quadrant committee seek out and visit
22 projects of equivalent size and complexity as is being proposed here.
23 a. The NW Quadrant committee has driven by several local sites to get a feel for
24 this type of project. However, only one site in Edina of 350 condos was
25 anywhere near the size of this project. Do building sites of the size and building
26 density being proposed here even exist? I don't know and I don't think you do
27 either.
28 b. Much valuable information on what works and what doesn't work could be
29 obtained by visiting equivalent sized sites. This would most likely require a
30 search of the continental U.S. to find likely candidates to visit but it would be
31 worth it.
32 C. I for one will feel a lot better about the project if it can be determined that a
33 sites of similar size and complexity built on an approximately equal land area
34 has been successfully accomplished.
35 Summary: I believe that the Planning Commission has insufficient information with which to
36 make a decision and should vote to put this project on hold until:
37 1. It is known whether the Salvation Army site is included in the Apache project or not.
38 2. Reports outlining new facility and staff costs necessitated by this project are obtained
39 from the District 282 Schools, the Police Department, Fire Department, and
40 Maintenance Department so that the added capital and recurring costs tied to this
41 package are known and can be judged for affordability.
42 3. The representatives of the NW Quadrant committee complete visiting building sites of
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes
July 17, 2001
Page 9
like size and complexity and provide their findings to the Commission.
2 Comment: All of this will take more time and push out the current schedule. In my opinion a
3 push out of a few months in schedule would have been significant 10 years ago for this site but
4 not today.
s Chair Melsha asked Mr. Prosser to elaborate on some of Mr. Nelson's points.
6 Mr. Prosser stated that the change in the tax structure puts a general education levy back on the
7 state. He added that, in any case, they need to look at the specific proposal. Mr. Prosser gave
s an example of 300-unit in Richfield that had no effect on the school system. He indicated that
9 Police services are driven more by retail and corporate. He identified the questions as good
10 and that they should be noted. Mr. Prosser added that even doing nothing is not a zero-impact
1 t option.
12 Jake Kenwalder, who owns a property within the discussed area, came forward to address the
13 Commission. He stated that notification for the public hearing was not done properly. He
14 stated his concerns were financial, and that he had received a copy of the tax increment
15 financing funds that were available. He stated that the numbers he received did not account for
16 cause and effect of buying businesses and buildings. -He was concerned-about not knowing =
17 how the cost and cash are going to be established and believed it was reason for not moving
18 forward. He stated that the actual cost of the property is the problem. He identified the 40%
19 shortfall and the cost factors involved in this project as the reasons why he does not see it
20 possible to move forward with the project. He stated he has owned an office in the City of St.
21 Anthony since 1972. He concluded that, if the 40%can be remedied, he would love to see it
22 happen, but said he would be happy to see the City wait for a year, or more and let the
23 financing get straightened out.
24 Mr. Shardlow stated that the public hearing portion of this is not to be approving anything, but
25 to recommend moving forward. He stated that they need to see if a real proposal is going to
26 happen. .
27 Commissioner Hanson asked if there was a cost associated with the City in order to move
28 forward. Mr. Shardlow stated that they have essentially completed the work that was in their
29 contract.
30 Kenwalder added that he was not the one to call it a public hearing.
31 Resident Billie Deveaulack asked if the Northwest Quadrant was zoned commercial. Chair
32 Melsha stated that it was not all zoned commercial. She asked if there was anything to prevent
33 a property-owner from selling their property. Mr. Prosser stated there was nothing to prevent
34 a property-owner from selling their property to any developer at this time. He added that the
35 reality it would be very difficult for a developer to come in at this time and do piecemeal
36 development.
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes

Page 10
1 Resident Jeanette Dick asked if the corporate offices were to definitely be where they were on
2 the map. Chair Melsha stated the maps contain concepts, and that nothing was for certain.
3 She asked if they could be placed in the empty parking lot by Apache Medical, and if the units
4 were intended to be rented, or owned. Chair Melsha stated that all are to be determined. Ms.
5 Dick concluded by saying that in the 2000 Census, half of the units that came out were rental,
6 and she feels that is enough.
7 Chair Melsha closed the public hearing at 8:25 p.m.
8 Chair Melsha thanked Mr. Shardlow and Mr. Prosser, and acknowledged the difficulties each
9 of them face in their separate roles on this project. Chair Melsha stated he believes the project
10 should happen the way that it is, with the city defining their vision, then developers coming on
11 board to adopt their vision and concepts. He added that he was very pleased with the report,
12 and the level of detail.
13 Commissioner Tillmann stated that, looking at the report she saw a lot of what was mentioned
14 in the Task Force meetings. Regarding the schools, she referred to her son and the size of his
15 class. She stated that the concern over a lot of students coming in can be absorbed through
16 normal attrition of people moving out. Chair Melsha stated that the School Board is most
17 interested in knowing what the input might be, so that they can be prepared for it.
18 Vice Chair Stille stated they have come a long way from when they started this process. He
19 stated that the report was very well put together, and that he was impressed with the content.
20 He added that, as a Planning Commission, it was difficult to add much to it. He continued that
21 every consideration has been looked at, and that sometimes they just have to look forward, and
22 deal with things as they come up.
23 Commissioner Stille continued that, since they are being somewhat forced into a higher-density
24 housing situation, he would like to see examples of how their chosen developer has handled
25 high-density housing elsewhere.
26 Commissioner Steeves stated that his experience in working with the city of Minneapolis on
27 redevelopment projects has taught him that it is an uncomfortable process, fraught with
28 uncertainty from beginning to end. He stated that they needed to be prepared for a number of
29 pitfalls along the way. He indicated that the way to mitigate the uncertainty is to keep the lines
30 of communication open. Commissioner Steeves concluded by saying that things are not further
31 along than they appear to be.
32 Commissioner Hanson stated that the public brought up several good concerns tonight. He
33 added that all of the mentioned ideas tonight were brought up by the Steering Committee, and
34 will be addressed. He asked if they needed to have a backup plan. He indicated that he did
35 not want to jinx the project, and the possibility of it not happening makes him want to work
36 harder.

1 Commissioner Hanson stated that, as a business owner, he looks at the possibility of someone
2 wanting to buy him out, which makes him uncomfortable, but realizes that selecting a good
3 developer could actually make his business more viable by total redevelopment.
4 d. Planning Commission Findings/Recommendations to City Council.

27 Motion carried unanimously.
28 8.2 Amendment to Section 1400 of the City Code to permit electronic governmental information
29 sipans to be located in the Recreational Open Space District.
30 Sue Henry stated that per the direction at the June 26 Council meeting, City staff has been in
31 consultation with the City Attorney's Office to draft an ordinance amendment with necessity language
32 rather than go the route of a conditional use permit, as discussed at the June 19 Planning Commission
33 meeting. She stated that the City Council consensus was to set the parameters for electronic
34 governmental informational signs in the City Code.
35 Ms. Henry continued in effect the proposed changes to the city ordinance is to permit in the
36 Recreational Open Space District an electronic message sign providing public information that is owned
37 by a governmental unit. She added that the sign must be a ground sign containing a sign surface area
38 not to exceed 150 square feet. The sign must be turned off between 11:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m., contain
39 no flashing lights, and the message may not be changed more than twice per day.
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes

Page 12
1 Resident Ron Hansen thanked the Planning Commission for having him back. Mr. Hansen stated that
2 he felt he was wasting his time here tonight, as he indicated that he learned at the City Council meeting
3 that the sign would be happening. He stated he suspected that this was a done deal at the last meeting,
4 and he was not happy. Mr. Hansen stated he was there tonight to ask the Planning Commission to say
5 no to this proposal, because it is something that they do not need.
6
7 Mr. Hansen asked, "What has been added to this proposal tonight, other than school district property,
8 and city-owned property ordinance that is included in recreational areas?"
9 The Commission requested that Mr. Hansen continue with his comments, and then they will respond.
10 Mr. Hansen identified the change in the ordinance to include the ability for the sign to flash. Chair
11 Melsha corrected Mr. Hansen by stating that the ordinance states that the sign cannot contain a flashing
12 sign. After reviewing the ordinance, and the letter from the City Attorney, they identified a conflict
13 between the two documents. Chair Melsha stated that they will adjust Ordinance 2001-002, Section
14 1400.12.
15 Mr. Hansen stated that the Planning Commission said that they wanted to eliminate the need for people
16 to have to come in to request a variance, but that amending the City Code would not accomplish that.
17 He was concerned that this was opening up to even more than before. He stated that the City should
18 be a leader for the rest of the businesses that they want in the city.
19 Mr. Hansen stated he has not seen the Communications Plan that is referred to in the quarterly
20 newsletter. He commended Ms. Henry on her addition to the newsletter. He asked if they have a
21 Communications Plan, and if they do not have a Communications Plan in place, he suggested they get
22 one. Mr. Hansen stated that the cable station indicated that you can receive a copy of the agenda for
23 this evening on their website, which he found to be untrue. Mr. Hansen suggested that they enhance
24 and better utilize the communication tools that are now in place and stated he would like to see a
25 Communications Plan in the City of St. Anthony.
26 Mr. Hansen stated that his number one problem with the sign was the safety issue. He stated he
27 drove 40 mph down the road where the sign would go every day last week, and was being passed, or
28 tailed. He added that the school has been concerned about traffic in the past. He stated that if they
29 want this City Hall to look good, why don't they look at landscaping.
30 Mr. Hansen suggested doing some research to find out what the best bang for the buck is on this issue.
31 He believes the website could be better used.
32 Mr. Hansen stated he was very disappointed, and felt as though he was wasting his time since Mayor
33 Cavanaugh said that the sign would happen. He said they are practicing bad politics, and if they really
34 want to communicate with the people, study the subject. Finally, Mr. Hansen stated he wanted
35 answers to his questions.
36 Vice Chair Stille restated the motion from the last meeting;and said that it appears that the city, or
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes
July 17, 2001
Page 13
1 school-owned property aspect of the ordinance is not included in the draft of the ordinance, and
2 needed to be discussed by the Commission. Chair Melsha stated that the Salvation Army property and
3 the Golf Course are also recreational open-space.
4 Mr. Hansen asked about the Communications Plan. Ms. Henry stated that the City does have a goal
5 regarding communication which contains a lot of the information discussed tonight. She added that it is
6 part of the City Council's goals. Ms. Henry acknowledged Mr. Hansen's ideas,and thanked him for
7 coming.
8 Mr. Hansen reiterated that it was bad politics, if the deal is done.
9 Chair Melsha closed the public hearing at 9:00 p.m.
10 Chair Melsha stated that they have taken a step back to sort of redraft.
11 Vice Chair Stille agreed and identified some of what they had taken into consideration were Mr.
12 Hansen's comments. He added that he would like to maintain control.
13 Commissioner Hanson asked about the Task Force that is looking into the beautification of the City
14 Hall Building. He suggested that Mr. Hansen, and other residents lend their time to help with the
15 improvements.
16 Mr. Hansen asked Ms. Henry if part of the findings of the Beautification Task Force was to
17 recommend the sign. Ms. Henry stated there is an initiative to work to spruce up the grounds. She
18 added that it coincides very well with the electronic sign, but that she needed to check with Jay
19 Hartman to see where the Task Force process is at this time.
20 Commissioner Hanson added that Ms. Henry inform residents in her newsletter that members of the
21 community do not have to subscribe to cable in order to have access to the city meetings. He added
22 that he does not see the lack of information on the website that Mr. Hansen referred to. Ms. Henry
23 stated that she feels they are doing well with the website, and acknowledged the importance of keeping
24 the website current.
25 Commissioner Tillmann stated that the conditional use permit is a very sensitive issue among the
26 community and among the Commission. She added that she felt that the process that they are using is
27 adequate. Commissioner Tillmann stated that after the decisions are made surrounding this sign, other
28 changes could be made.
29 Commissioner Steeves stated that the decision of the cost is for the City Council to make. He added
30 that what they have been attempting to do with this ordinance was to allow for some limited use. He
31 added that he would be opposed to what has been outlined because he feels it would never be brought
32 back to the Commission to address safety concerns, landscaping, and design guidelines. He added
33 that this change would allow for change without any permits. Commissioner Steeves stated that he felt
34 the conditional use achieved what they wanted to do while still allowing the City to proceed with its

1 plan.
2 Chair Melsha stated that they are not wed to what they have, and that it appeared that the Commission
3 wanted to go back to the conditional use route.
4 Commissioner Tillmann stated that the City Council were concerned about was that the
5 recommendation was a not specific enough. She added that she has concerns as to how the ordinance
6 was written.
7 Commissioner Tillmann distributed her suggestions for the electronic sign issue:
8 "Recommendation for ordinance change:
9 1. Add definition of"Electronic Sign" to definitions section 1400.04.
10 2. Add to Section 1400.07 Prohibited Signs:
1 t Electronic signs except public service signs owned by governmental units and located in
12 recreational/open space.
13 3. Add to Section 1400.12 District Scheduled, Subd. 4 Recreational Open Space.
14
15 Public Service, Electronic signs are a conditionally permitted use. (CUP required) The conditions
16 cover at least the following:
17 1. Flashing and animation prohibited.
18 2. Hours of operation. (Maximum allowable is 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. May be less if situation
19 warrants.)
20 3. Message changeability should be minimum required to accomplish the purpose of the sign.
21 4. Sign aesthetics such as message color, size of reader-board and sign, construction materials,
22 landscaping."
23
24 After reviewing her ideas with the Planning Commission, Commissioner Tillmann stated that she liked
25 the CUP idea because they have definite ideas for the project at hand, and she does not believe that
26 the restrictions, or limitations would be the same with every case.
27 Chair Melsha stated that the Commission does not recommend approving a permitted use permit now,
28 and asked Ms. Henry for advice.
29 Ms. Henry stated that City Attorney Jerry Gilligan could draw up the definition of electronic sign, and
30 that the information that Commissioner Tillmann outlined was quite detailed. She added that, if they do
31 not want to carry this on, perhaps they want to go with the CUP.
32 Commissioner Hanson recommended they take the information that Commissioner Tillmann outlined,
33 along with what is contained in the packet tonight and merge them together.
34 Vice Chair Stille identified Commissioner Tillmann's outline as quite detailed, but was still confused at
35 to what they should do next.
36 Commissioner Steeves stated that he was surprised at the CYty Council's decision to send the issue

July 17, 2001
Page 15
I back to the Planning Commission. He stated that they can reiterate their thoughts, or they can attempt
2 to try to make them very polished and specific. He added that Commissioner Tillmann's outline was a
3 great basis for legal staff to work from.
4 Ms. Henry stated that, if they were to do that, it would probably not be ready in time for the next
5 meeting. Chair Melsha asked if they would be waving a reading by not having the information in time
6 for the next City Council meeting.
7 Commissioner Tillmann referred to the minutes from the last Council meeting and comments made by
s Mayor Cavanaugh, and stated that they have completed some of what he has requested.
9 After discussing the option to recommend the sign with a conditional use, the Commission decided to
10 add a few things to the outline drawn up by Commissioner Tillmann, which would keep them on
1 t schedule in terms of the readings.
12 Commissioner Hanson suggested that they add a fifth point to the outline to include safety issues.
13 Motion by Vice Chair Stille, second by Commissioner Tillmann, to recommend that electronic reader-
14 board signs are allowed as a conditional use on lands zoned recreational open-space on city, or school-
15 owned property with the following conditions:
16 - Flashing and animation are prohibited.
17 - Hours of operation are limited. (Hours shall be between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 11:00
18 p.m.)
19 - Message changeability should be a minimum required to accomplish the purpose of the sign.
20 - Sign aesthetics such as message color, size of reader-board and sign, construction materials,
21 and landscaping.
22 - Consideration should be given to safety issues.
23 - Purpose of the sign should be for public services only.
24 Motion carried unanimously.
25 IX. COMMIT'T'EE REPORTS.

28 and Standards for all Wireless Telecommunications Facilities (WTFs): Siting, Color and Architecture,
29 Landscaping, Signs, Lighting, Monopole, Setbacks, Height, Safety/Environment Standards.
30 Chair Melsha asked the Commission to review the outline for the next meeting, and indicated they
31 would tweak and polish it then.

33 sale ordinance.
