45 Mayor Ranallo introduced Joan Remus, who was representing the Eberhardt

49 with the St. Anthony Village Fest. The exhibition would be held on July 21 , •
50
Regular Council Meeting
May 8, 1990
page 5
1 1990 from 3 :00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. in the parking lot of the St. Anthony
2 Shopping Center.
3
4 A wrestling group associated with the Professional Wrestlers Association
5 (PWA) will participate in the exhibition. Gary Vados, owner of the St.
6 Anthony Fun Center, indicated his willingness to work with the PWA in
7 securing the booking and making arrangements. Mr. Vados also was in at-
8 tendance at the Council meeting.
9
10 Mayor Ranallo advised he had contacted Dick Horst, President of the St .
11 Anthony Merchants Association, regarding this exhibition. The Association
12 meets monthly on the first Wednesday of every month. Mayor Ranallo will
13 attend its next meeting to discuss this exhibition. He noted the Village
14 Fest Committee had discussed a wrestling exhibition for last year's fes-
15 tivities, but had ultimately selected a karate exhibition.
16
17 Ms. Remus distributed drawings of the parking lot at the St. Anthony
18 Shopping Center which indicated the location of the necessary appoint-
19 ments for the wrestling exhibition.
20
21 The City Manager advised that no permits would be required for the wrestling
22 exhibition. If the event is held outdoors, parking and restroom availability
• �3 were issues which would need to be addressed. He noted that if the weather
24 were bad and the affair were to be held indoors, restrooms, ingress, egress,
25 space for observers, etc. would be of concern. Ms. Remus stated that a
26 location to hold the event indoors, if need be, has already been selected
�7 and that other issues of concern are being addressed.
28
�9 All insurance requirements will be met by both the Shopping Center and the
30 party representing the wrestling group.
31
32 Councilmember Enrooth inquired how this event would tie in with the Village
33 Fest which is being held at the other end of the City in Central Park.
34 Ms. Remus responded that the time selected, 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. , was viewed
35 as an excellent time for the event by the Chairperson of the Village Fest,
36 Tom Thorson.
37
38 Mr. *Thorson feels it would tie in both ends of the community and had indicated
39 he had really hoped the Shopping Center would become involved. Mayor Ranallo
40 stated that the Village Fest Committee had hoped eventually to tie in both
41 of the City's shopping centers. All advertising in conjunction with the
42 wrestling promotion will be submitted to the Chairperson of the Village
43 Fest Committee for review.
44
45 Councilmember Marks suggested a parade could be considered to tie the
46 activities at Central Park and at the Shopping .Center together. He felt
47 it was a real plus to have the business people involved in the Village .
48 Fest.
• 49
50 The City Manager inquired if food will be available at the wrestling exhibition.

12 A. Council Reports
13
14 Councilmember Makowske advised she took a tour of the Ramsey County jail
15 with the delegation from the Ramsey County League of Local Governments.
16 She indicated she intends to attend the Historical Society meeting on Monday,
17 May 14th.
18
19 Councilmember Makowske noted she had received a questionnaire from the League
20 of Minnesota Cities which addressed health care issues. It -referred
21 to cities who had hospitals or health care facilities located in them,
22 but also requested information regarding general health care concerns.
23 Councilmember Makowske requested the City Manager to complete the questionnaire.
24 •
25 One of the questions also requested information about the top five city- _
26 wide issues of the City. After some discussion, a consensus of the Council
27 was the following issues of concern: infrastructure, finances, recycling,
28 need for a new City Hall , and health care for the elderly.
29
30 Councilmember Enrooth reported that the Recycling Committee had met and
31 identified three issues of concern, they are; additional education regarding
32 recycling (inclusion in City newsletter) , Clean-Up Day (possibly in the
33 Fall ) , and, possible amendments to the licensing ordinance.
34
35 Councilmember Enrooth felt the Recycling Committee may evolve into a perm-
36 ament committee, with quarterly meetings. There may be an expansion of
37 issues for the Committee's consideration which would include conservation
38 and energy.
39
40 Mayor Ranallo inquired what kind of attendance there had been at the most
41 recent meeting of the Recycling Committee. Councilmember Enrooth responded
42 of the ten members on the Committee, six had attended, three were out of
43 town, and one was ill . Counc.ilmember Makowske noted that two members had
44 attended the Recycling Committee meeting when they could have been attending
45 a recognition dinner.
46
47 The next meeting of the Recycling Committee is scheduled for June 20th.
48
49 Councilmember Marks noted that the Ramsey County Regional Railroad Authority
50 Intergovernmental Committee meeting had been cancelled.
Regular Council Meeting
May 8, 1990
• page 7
1 Mayor Ranallo advised that a meeting is being planned to discuss storm
2 and sewer water problems with residents. The City Manager will send a
3 letter to those people who have been experiencing water problems and
4 have indicated this to staff. This informational meeting will be attended
5 by the Mayor, the City Manager, the Public Works Director and an engineer.
6
7 Councilmember Enrooth felt the City has made continuing and ambitious efforts
8 to deal with water problems. He thinks the staff should be readvising
9 property owners of this so it doesn't appear that the City is doing nothing.
10
11 The City Manager said staff keeps current the list of property owners who
)2 contact the City regarding water problems. He noted that the letter regarding
13 the informational meeting will also be sent to those property owners staff
14 feels may have also experienced water problems and may not have contacted
15 City Hall .
16
17 Councilmember Enrooth inquired if the Council Chambers would be large enough
18 to accommodate the anticipated attendance at this meeting. The City Manager
19 advised the meeting could be moved into the Auditorium if the need arises.
20 He also stated that the 1988 water study report will be explained as will
21 the new possibilities for water distribution out of the City.
• 22
23 Mayor Ranallo felt it was important that the meeting be opened up for sug-
24 gestions and discussion. Councilmember Enrooth suggested that staff develop
�5 a schematic which would show what is actually present to handle the water
26 as well as indicate the problem areas. Councilmember Makowske also felt the
�7 height should be indicated.
28
�9 Mayor Ranallo had met with the staff today to discuss some of their concerns.
30 He reviewed some of the changes that have taken place in the last year, par-
31 ticularly noting three resignations in key positions. The Mayor felt the
32 staff was seeking some reassurance.
33
34 The Mayor requested members of the Council to draft five questions to ask
35 City Councilmember applicants at their interviews and to give the drafts
36 to the City Manager. He also requested that none of these questions be
37 made available to the applicants before the interviews.
38
39 The Mayor has received numerous inquiries from residents and City staff
40 regarding some type of appreciation event for Bob Sundland. Mayor Ranallo
41 will seek Bob and Ardelle Sundland 's consent before anything is done. All
42 Councilmembers agreed this would be appropriate. The Mayor indicated some
43 business people have already offered their location to be used for such an
44 event and many people have volunteered to assist.
45
46 Mayor Ranallo stated he will be in City Hall by 6:15 p.m. on regular Council
47 meeting nights. His purpose is to be available to residents to hear their
. 49 concerns or suggestions and to facilitate communications.

3 The City Manager advised that some areas in the City offices are being
4 remodelled. He noted he is still open to suggestions from the Council -
s members. Presently, plans include a conference room for use by the City
6 Council , the Village Fest Committee, and by other City committees.
7
8 The schedule for the use of this conference room would be kept by the
9 City Council and by the staff. The City Manager indicated that the remodelling
10 appears to be relatively affordable.

12 The City Manager stated that the watering techniques to be used for this
13 year are in place and will appear in the next issue of the Bulletin.

20
21 A. Resolution No. 90-021 : Increase in M.P.C.A. Contract
22 A memo from the Public Works Director to the City Manager indicated that
23 the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (M.P.C .A.) has approved the increase
24 for the renovation of Well #3. The City Manager observed. that it took two
25 years before the project actually commenced and that cost had increased
26 $20,000. If the City Council adopts the resolution the Mayor and City Manager
27 will be authorized to execute an amendment to the contract to rehabilitate
28 the well . The Public Works Director recommeded adoption of the resolution.
29
30 Motion by Ranallo, second by Marks to adopt Resolution No. 90-021 being
31 a resolution authorizing the Mayor and City Manager to execute the amend-
32 ment to the contract between the City of St. Anthony and the State of Min-
33 nesota, Minnesota P.C.A. .
34
35 Motion carried unanimously
36
37
38 The City Manager advised that the laying of the pipe under the Soo Line
39 tracks is on schedule. The Soo Line has indicated it does not intend to
40 grant an easement and there appears to- be some question -as to who actually
41 owns some of the property in the area.
42
43 The City Manager also stated that the schedule for -the building construction
44 is about three days behind. It is felt that very soon the crew will be ahead
45 of schedule.

50 A letter was received from Bill Soth, the City Attorney, which addressed
Regular Council Meeting
May 8, 1990
page 9
1 an ordinance for the issuance of temporary wine licenses.
2
3 Noting that the section in the Ordinance which requires an organization
4 to have been in existence for three years, Councilmember Enrooth inquired
5 how Village Fest could qualify for a temporary wine license for the July
6 1990 festivities. The City Manager advised they could not qualify for
7 this year's celebration but some other City organization could sponsor
8 this activity and apply for the license.
9
10 Councilmember Marks observed that each application has to be submitted for
11 approval to the State Commission of Public Safety. Councilmember Makowske
12 inquired if the fee for a temporary wine license could be waived.
13 The City Manager responded it could but there are still administrative
14 costs associated with this type of license.
15
16 Councilmember Makowske also had a question concerning that part of the
17 ordinance which referred to "proprietors of the establishments." The
18 City Manager will request an explanation of this phrase from the City
19 Attorney. She felt the phrase "or members of the governing body of the
20 sponsoring organization" should be inserted. Councilmember Enrooth felt
21 this issue was clarified further in the ordinance. Councilmember Makow-
22 ske withdrew her suggestion.
• 23
24 Motion by Ranallo, second by Enrooth to approve the first reading of
25 Ordinance No. 1990- , being an ordinance relating to the issuance of

18 COMMISSIONER BROWNELL TO REPRESENT PLANNING COMMISSION AT MAY 22ND
19 COUNCIL MEETING.
20 PUBLIC HEARINGS
021 Commission Repeats Recommendation of Denial for Front Yard Variance for
22 2608/10 - 37th Avenue N.E. Double Bungalow
23 The hearing was opened at 8:25 P.M. with no one present reporting
24 failure to receive the Notice of Hearing or objecting to its content.
25 Ms. VanderHeyden reported that because a modified proposal had been
26 presented by the applicants at the April 24th Council meeting, the
27 Council had directed it -to be returned to the Planning Commission for
28 their recommendation. The Assistant to the City Manager indicated the
29 applicants proposed turning the two garages around to face each other,
30 thus eliminating three feet from the requested variance. However, staff
31 had since determined that there is an 11 foot right-of-way in front of
32 the property which legally cannot have cars parked on it. This would
33 also leave only seven feet between the right-of-way and the proposed
34 garages, which would not be sufficient room for an automobile to be
35 parked.
36 Staff's concerns about vehicles being parked so close to the busy
37 street, especially when it's being plowed, as well as whether sufficient
38 ground cover for utility lines would be provided with the proposed
39 construction, had not been alleviated with the new proposal, Ms.
40 VanderHeyden added.
41 Mr. Burt reported a measurement of the distance between the existing
042 house and the curbline by staff had confirmed a 35 foot setback from the
43 property line which, with the it foot right-of-way, would leave 46 feet
44 between the house and the street.
• 3
1 Barbara Zielinska reiterated the reasons she had given the Commission
2 during her April 17th testimony for wanting more garage space to park at
3 least two of the four vehicles her family drives off the driveway. She
4 indicated she had hoped that by turning the garages around to face each
5 other and eliminating three feet from the variance she would make her
6 proposal more acceptable to the City. The applicant said she saw no
7 other solution to her parking problems during the winter months when
8 parking on the street is prohibited. She . also reported her proposal
9 would eliminate the hills in front of the double bungalow which she
10 perceived were of no value to anyone and made mowing very difficult.
11 Ms. Zielinska told the Commissioners there had been no opposition to her
12 proposal from the neighbors and it was hard for her to understand why
13 she couldn't do anything she wanted with her own property, especially
14 when it wouldn't hurt anyone else. She asked if any of them had any
15 other solution to her problem.
16 When Commissioner Hansen asked the applicant why she had failed to
17 respond to the first condition on the new Petition for Variance, Ms.
18 Zielinska indicated she had not known how to answer the question that
19 condition posed. Mr. Burt reported he had met with the applicants and
20 tried to explain what zoning meant relative . to their property.
21 The hearing was closed at 8: 32 P.M. for Commission consideration of a
22 recommendation.
23 Commissioner Werenicz said he hadn't seen anything new in the proposal
24 which would solve the concerns the Commission had expressed during the
25 April 17th hearing. He indicated he didn't believe either proposal
26 could meet the conditions imposed on approval of this type of variance.
27 He would therefore oppose recommending approval for those reasons.
28 Chair Madden and Commissioner Wagner concurred with his conclusions with
29 the latter adding that finding out the dimensions of the right-of-way in
30 front of this property had only deepened his original convictions.
31 Commission Recommendation
32 Motion by Brownell, seconded by Faust to recommend the City Council deny
33 the request for a variance from the 35 foot front yard setbacks
34 maintained by adjacent properties for two double garages in front of the
35 double bungalow at 2608/10 - 37th Avenue N.E. , finding that:
36 1. The three questions required to be answered in the affirmative in
37 the Petition for Variance had not been done so with the new
38 proposal.
39 2 . The safety factors and potential problems with the sewer line with
40 the proposed construction justified denial.
41 3 . Precedents for granting similar requests have not been established.
• 4
1 4 . The depth of the City's right-of-way in front of this property made
2 the proposal even less acceptable.
3 Motion carried unanimously.
4 Chair Madden indicated he wasn't an architect, but was trying to find
5 some solution to the applicants' parking problems which would meet the
6 City' s zoning requirements. He wondered if they couldn't cut the hills
7 down and perhaps with structure alterations cut in another single garage
8 on each side. He said, of course this wouldn't be possible if there
9 were furnaces or laundry rooms in that section of the basement, but if
10 no such impediments existed, there would then be room to park two more
11 vehicles off the driveway. The Chair added that four foot retaining
12 walls could be terraced back with some plantings to make the additions
13 aesthetically pleasing.
14 Commissioners Recommend Denial of Zoning Ordinance Amendment for Mini-
15 Storage Facility at Apache
16 The public hearing on the Weis Companies ' request for the above had been
17 held April 17, 1990, but questions regarding notification of the hearing
18 had resulted in the Commission tabling their recommendation to the
19 Council. As stated in Mr. Burt's May 9th memorandum, it was determined
20 that ,all property owners within 350 feet of the property in question did
21 receive notice.
22 David Deebach agreed with Chair Madden's statement that the Weis
23 Companies' request for an amendment to the City Zoning Ordinance
24 providing for self-service storage as a specifically listed conditional
25 use in a Commercial District had been given a full presentation at the
26 April 17th hearing. He was therefore content to limit his presentation
27 to responses to comments which might be made that evening.
28 Douglas K. Jones, 2505 Silver Lane, a former member of the St. Anthony
29 Planning Commission, whose home on Silver Lake is about 400 feet from
30 the subject site, expressed his opposition to the mini-storage facility,
31 saying:
32 * an unapproved change in the design for Apache Plaza had caused the
33 bulk of the storm runoff to run into Silver Lake rather than into
34 the Rice Creek Channel #2 down Silver Lane to Jones Lake;
35 * as a result, Apache is already responsible for the majority of
36 storm runoff which is polluting the lake as verified by the
37 study done by Terry Noonan;
38 * adding another large facility with only blacktop and extended roofs
39 would only exacerbate the problem and would use up the only green
40 space in the Apache complex which could be used for a storm water
• 41 retention site;
5
1 * he had been working with former City officials, Bob Sundland, Dave
2 Childs, as well as Larry Hamer on a plan to assess all City storm
3 users and to use the revenues for a lake saving project as well as
4 upgrading the City storm sewer system;
5 * Apache had not been a good neighbor, refusing to respond to the
6 problems their facility caused for the lake;
7 * he saw no benefit to any of the merchants from this project,
8 doubting very much whether many of the storage facility users would
9 be shopping at Apache;
10 * he couldn't understand when other cities like Roseville were
11 tearing down huge areas to add more retail commercial, why St.
12 Anthony would be even considering replacing the commercial they
13 have with an industrial use.
14 Commissioner Wagner noted that the green space in question was quite a
15 bit higher than the rest of the parking lot and he thought it would be
16 quite a job to dig the site down to catch the runoff.
17 Mr. Burt indicated St. Anthony, New Brighton, and Columbia Heights had
18 requested funding for another pollution source study but the state had
19 declined their request this year. The City Manager also pointed out
20 that the City's share of state funding had been cut off in midstream by
21 $26, 000. 00 for this year so it had become necessary to look for some
22 other type of revenue enhancement. Storm- sewer users fees are one of
23 those being looked at as a way of building up funds to replace
24 deteriorating infrastructure. However, there is little chance of
25 getting this into the budget before 1991. It would take some time for
26 the funds to accumulate for any of these projects.
27 Mr. Jones said that was one of the reasons the Silver Lake Homeowners
28 Association intended to go back to the Rice Creek Watershed District who
29 are able to impose levies on property owners whose runoff is impacting
30 the lake. The former Commissioner defended his claim that Apache was
31 responsible for 70% of the runoff and the major polluter of Silver Lake
32 by telling Commissioner Werenicz the bulk of runoff from Equinox is
33 contained on the site, according to Ramsey County researcher, Mr.
34 Noonan.
35 Ray Kahl of JVK Quality Homes, 2040 Tioga Boulevard, New Brighton,
36 identified himself as the agent who was currently marketing the small
37 shopping strip of Stinson Boulevard. He said the owner of the center
38 and its banker had been unable to be in attendance, but had requested he
39 represent their views. Mr. Kahl contended that the addition of a mini-
40 storage facility to the area would not contribute significantly to the
41 value of adjacent properties, but would rather be a detraction. He told
42 Commissioner Faust there were market studies to support his contention
43 and he perceived the proposed use would be more appropriately located in
44 an industrially zoned district.
• 6
1 Mary and Charles Finn, 2709 Silver Lane were present to oppose the
2 requests. Mrs. Finn reported on the stream of garbage which comes up
3 the hill from Apache and the Equinox Apartments. She said she couldn't
4 imagine no matter how careful the managers of the proposed facility were
5 that a storage area in the same location wouldn't only be adding to the
6 paper and plastic flying onto her property and the lake now. She
7 anticipated the facility would be a real problem for her and her
8 neighbors and so she couldn't see how it could possibly enhance property
9 values along her street.
10 Charles Finn arrived at the close of the discussions and expressed many
11 of the concerns about the proposed project as the other opponents. He
12 said he had formerly served as a zoning and planning director in another
13 part of the state and he just had to question the acceptability of
14 putting something most people would consider to be normally zoned either
15 heavy or light industrial into a commercial district. He perceived that
16 clearly the type of use this facility would generate would not be
17 appropriate under the guidelines of public service which Apache has with
18 parking, a lot of drop in business, etc. up to this point, but rather
19 that a facility like this, which is essentially storage, would only be
20 found in a light industrial district. Mr. Finn perceived this to be a
21 special type of business which needs to be dealt with specifically and
22 certainly not brought into a commercial area. He was opposed to taking
23 the last green space in Apache and would lose its potential for use as
24 a storm water retention space, which is sorely needed in that area. To
25 do so to him would be extremely short sighted, he added.
26 Jerry Cowan, 3316 Croft Drive, and Ken Solie, 2877 Silver Lane, partners
27 in Village Properties who own St. Anthony Mini-Storage and Apache Office
28 Park, were also present to speak in opposition.
29 Mr. Cowan testified that:
30 * in spite of their own competing business interests, he and his
31 partner had tried to take an objective view of what was best for
32 the community;
33 * they did not perceive the proposed facility would be the best usage
34 of that land;
35 * he had generated calls and letters to Dennis Cavanaugh, President
36 of the C. G. Rein Company, owners and managers of Apache Plaza
37 opposing the self-storage use in the shopping center;
38 * one of those letters, which he did not have a copy of, was from the
39 Chairman of the Board of Herbergers and the other, copies of which
40 had been distributed to the Commissioners, was from Sentinel
41 Management, who manage the Equinox Apartments;
r42 * he had spoken to Mr. Cavanaugh who had indicated he was "taking a
43 neutral stance" on the issue, which was self evident in the fact
• 7
1 that the Apache owner was not present that evening to speak for the
2 use, which was proposing to go into his center;
3 * the City's notification process does not include notification of
4 the tenants directly;
5 * he had found out that Apache had never tried to market the site in
6 question since they had become owners 20 or so years ago.
7 In response to the applicant's statement that there is a need for
8 300, 000 more square feet of self-storage in the immediate 5 mile radius,
9 Mr. Cowan said he had contacted several of his competitors in that area
10 and found out that:
11 * E-Z Storage, located on B-2 and Highway 35, has an occupancy of a
12 little more than 80%, but they have a 14 acre site with only 6
13 acres developed and no plans to develop the other 8 because "the
14 market is so soft right now. "
15 * Minnekada Storage, which is located on Como and Highway 280, and
16 also on Highway 694, is in a little tougher shape, running with
17 about 35% vacancy and offering one month's free storage free to get
18 customers;
19 * Berger Transfer, with buildings in both St. Anthony and Roseville,
20 are experiencing a 34% vacancy;
21 * his own operation has only a 10% vacancy, but that is also between
22 10% and 15% below the market.
23 Mr. Cowan wondered whether the loss of the subject space might put
24 Apache under their parking space requirements, especially if the lawn
25 and garden store Mr. Cavanaugh is negotiating with takes over the spot
26 which Country Club Market has just vacated. He said the Apache
27 President had indicated they would be requiring some storage space for
28 the business which could also affect the parking spaces available in the
29 center. The opponent also questioned whether an environmental impact
30 study might be required for the mini-storage facility. Mr. Burt told
31 him the size of the site in question would not require such a study.
32 Mr. Solie reported that:
33 * as a" Silver Lake resident he shared the concerns of other speakers
34 about the .adverse effect the proposal might have on the lake;
35 * he concurred with his partner's contention that there is no need
36 for more self-storage in St. Anthony at this time, which he
37 perceived was one of the conditions which had to be met before a
38 conditional use permit could be allowed;
. 39 * he also doubted whether the proposal met the second condition that
40 "the use will not be detrimental to the health, safety, or general
• 8
„
1 welfare. . . . in view of the concerns expressed by residents and
2 merchants in the same area.
3 Chair Madden commented that after hearing two people mention Herberger's
4 opposition to this proposal, he couldn't help but think that the best
5 forum for them to have expressed that opposition would have been the
6 hearing that evening or at least a letter to the City Council or Planing
7 Commission. He therefore indicated that he would be discounting those
8 reports as only "hearsay" .
9 Mr. Deebach responded to the adverse comments which had been made about
10 his proposal by stating that:
it * he didn't have the expertise or knowledge to question Mr. Jones'
12 statements about storm water retention or drainage;
13 * he could only address the applicability of this use in a commercial
14 district by telling the Commission that many communities all around
15 the U. S. and even the Twin Cities are proving that this specific
16 use is in fact a more commercial than industrial use by issuing
17 conditional use permits;
18 * less than a month ago a conditional use permit had been issued for
19 one of the Weis mini-storage facilities in a commercial district in
20 Oakdale;
21 * The City would always place conditions on their permit which would
22 prevent further development in other commercial districts in St.
23 Anthony which might be less suitable for this type of use;
24 * in _ response to Mr. Kahl Is statements related to the use not
25 contributing or enhancing adjacent property values, he perceived
26 the focus should instead be placed on what is happening to property
27 values in general because of economic conditions in many parts of
28 the Twin Cities as well as the United States, as evidenced by the
29 slow down in all real estate business;
30 * it was his own belief that the proposed use would add to the
31 property values in that area;
32 * Mrs. Finn' s complaints about the garbage stream onto lake property
33 would not be applicable to the proposed development of this
34 property because it would be of fortress style construction, with
35 buildings surrounding the perimeter except for the two south and
36 north ends which both would have fencing which would prohibit a lot
37 of materials with the potential for blowing to leave the area;
38 * there would be no one living in this development, so the generation
39 of mobile trash would be minimal because his company, through its
• 40 leasing contracts, requires all goods that are brought in to be
41 taken out;
• 9
1 * the issue of the dumpster at Equinox being left open would not be
2 applicable to this project because the dumpster would be locked and
3 only available for use after payment of a users fee and would be
4 policed by video cameras;
5 * the on site staff would also be supervising the use of the
6 dumpster;
7 * lie had done his own research of the companies Mr. Cowan had
8 mentioned as an indication that there is no need for more self-
9 storage in this area and found that E-Z Storage had been expanded
10 about three years ago because the owners perceived the demand to be
11 there, Minnekada facility down on 280, had been expanded last
12 winter, which more evidence that there is in fact such a demand for
13 this use;
14 * the information contained in his company's petition for conditional
15 use had answered many of the questions raised that evening;
16 * he perceived the proposed facility could add to the adjacent
17 property values by their being a good neighbor.
18 Mr. Jones, drawing on the experience of his ten years of service on the
19 Planning Commission, indicated he understood that once the City had
20 issued a conditional use permit for a particular use, they could not
21 arbitrarily refuse to allow a similar business to go into the same type
22 of district. He also .questioned the description of this particular use
23 as a low traffic generation in a commercial area that is just crying for
24 some additional traffic to enhance development.
25 Mr. Burt responded by telling Mr. Jones that it was true that if this
26 use was allowed in this area similar businesses could request to develop
27 in other commercial districts in the City. However, that could be
28 controlled by setting setback and lot size requirements in the ordinance
29 which would prevent such a use going into smaller commercial sites like
30 the Speedy Market on Stinson, or the small commercial area at Coolidge
31 and St. Anthony Boulevard.
32 John Zahhos, 2808 Silver Lake Road, indicated he would have a problem
33 with the proposed use from an aesthetic point of view. He recalled that
34 Apache Plaza had been an exceptional center at one time, but has
35 deteriorated over the years for whatever reasons. It needed help now
36 and he didn't think it was appropriate or wise for a Planning Commission
37 to -allow a "fortress style" structure to be built in a shopping center.
38 The comments from the public were discontinued at 9:27 P.M. for
39 formulation of a recommendation to the Council.
40 Commissioner Wagner indicated concern about all the discussions about
41 not allowing that green space to be developed in view of the fact that
42 the center owners could put a commercial use on that parcel any time
43 they wished.
10
1 Commissioner Brownell reiterated his April 17th statement that 'he
2 perceived the proposed type of activity should more appropriately be
3 categorized as an industrial use as opposed to one to be allowed in a
4 commercial area. He said he hadn't heard anything that evening to
5 change his mind. As a matter of fact, he said, he had probably heard
6 things during the discussions that evening that actually solidified that
7 opinion.
8 Commissioner Franzese recalled that the Commissioners had been told that
9 there were only two other vacant commercial areas left in the City.
10 Apart from all the other concerns raised that evening, said she
11 perceived allowing a mini-storage facility at Apache might be opening
12 all the rest of the center to "spot zoning" .
13 Commissioner Wagner indicated he shared her concern about the City being
14 able to control other property in Apache which isn't doing well at all
15 if the ordinance is changed for this use. He was also concerned about
16 losing control over other commercial areas in the City.
17 Commissioner Hansen indicated he had heard a lot of valid points of
18 opposition that evening, but his strongest feelings about the proposal
19 were that this use appeared to be a function which belonged in a light
20 industrial district. The Commissioner said he wasn't ready to give up
21 on commercial in St. Anthony, in spite of the fact that Apache wasn't
22 doing well right now. He pointed to the Metropolitan Stadium property
23 which had been empty for years, but now had the biggest shopping center
24 in the world being constructed there. He said he knew St. Anthony was
25 in a pretty key location and saw some exciting developments like the 300
26 units of housing going . in on the other end of town and a new townhome
27 development being constructed not too far from Apache, which made him
28 think there was still a real potential for commercial development in the
29 City. The Commissioner perceived that St. Anthony ought to preserve the
30 commercial it has available for future development in better times.
31 Chair Madden commented that he had mixed feelings about the request
32 before them, citing the fact that Apache is in trouble and could use
33 this help. On the other hand, he cited his own experience with a
34 similar facility, St. Anthony Storage, in his own neighborhood, which is
35 not kept up and is not a good neighbor caused him to have some
36 reservations about this proposal in spite of the assurance of the
37 applicant that their maintenance would be different.
38 Commissioner Werenicz said he had been leaning toward recommending
39 approval of the Weis Company's request after the hearing last month,
40 finding that the proposal did look like a well put together plan and
41 that it might be a good use for this property. He said the only
42 concerns which had induced him to change his. mind had been those of the
43 residents on Silver Lake who have been battling pollution from Apache
44 for years. The Commissioner wasn't sure what their chances of
0 45 correcting those problems would be, but he said he does agree that the
46 storage use would do nothing more than add to their water problems.
47 However, he was not in agreement with some of the "selfish" arguments
• 11
I from competing businessmen. He also noted that the owner of Apache, Mr.
2 Cavanaugh, who in the past had appeared before the Commission to defend
3 every sign variance request or other changes at Apache, had not seen fit
4 to come to defend this proposal or to provide input to the discussions.
5 The fact that Mr. Cavanaugh appeared to be holding letters of opposition
6 to the proposal which were written by his own tenants had not impressed
7 the Commissioner either.
8 Commissioner Faust, who lives on Silver Lake, said he did not consider
9 the discussion of the water problems to be germane to the zoning change
10 and couldn't agree that denying the proposal was the right way of
11 solving those problems, which could probably only be solved through
12 storm sewer assessments on the users. The Commissioner indicated the
13 main reason he would be concerned about the project would be the
14 potential for loss of control in planning for the future. He said he
15 perceived the applicants had presented a very attractive proposal which
16 might be nice to have in the City, but he was worried that in spite of
17 stipulations which might be put on this particular use permit, control
18 might be lost over similar requests five or ten years from now.
19 Therefore, in terms of long range planning, he said he would have to
20 oppose the ordinance change.
21 Commission Recommendation
22 Motion by Wagner, seconded by Franzese to recommend denial by the City
23 Council of the request for amendment of the Zoning Ordinance of St.
24 Anthony which would provide for a self-service storage as a specifically
25 listed conditional use in a "C" Commercial District, finding that:
26 1. The proposal doesn't meet all three conditions which must be
27 satisfied before a conditional use can be permitted, specifically
28 #3 in the petition for conditional use permit which requires the
29 use to be necessary and desirable at the proposed location to
30 provide a service or facility which is in the interest of public
31 convenience and will contribute to the general welfare of the
32 neighborhood or community.
33 2 . The neighbors to this site have expressed a real concern about the
34 desirability of this facility and the necessity for it in their
35 immediate area or location.
36 3. Although it might be true that the facility might be a handy
37 storage area for a lot of people, it wouldn't necessarily
38 contribute to the general welfare of a lot of people in the
39 neighborhood or the community at this location.
40 4. Therefore, if the proposal doesn't meet the criteria established
41 for a conditional use permit, there doesn't appear to be any
42 justification for amending the St. Anthony Zoning Ordinance for the
� 43 proposal.
• 12
1 5. There is a potential for the City to lose control over this type of
2 use more in the distant than in the immediate future with the
3 possibility of future storage facilities being located in
4 commercial districts which would not be desirable and might be very
5 detrimental to the community.
6 Motion carried unanimously.

APPROVAL :
DATE
May 9 . 1990
TO : Planning Commission Members
FROM : Sue VanderHeyden, Assistant to the City Manager
2 TEM s SETBACK VARIANCE REQUEST - 2608/10 - 37TH AVENUE N.E.
Ms. Barbara Zielinska and Z. H. Zawieruszynski, owners of the property
at 2608/2610 - 37th Avenue N.E. , are requesting a variance to the front
yard setback requirement of the City Ordinance to be allowed to build
two double garages at the front of the double bungalow.
This request was first presented to the Planning Commission at the April
10, 1990, meeting, at which time the Commission recommended denial of
the variance to the City Council. The Council, at its April 17th
meeting, was presented with an amended plan and therefore, the Council
referred the request back to the Planning Commission.
• Staff is still very concerned about the safety issue with cars parked in
the driveway being extremely close to the street and thus also being a
hazard when snow plowing occurs and the utility lines not having
sufficient ground cover. In addition, there is an 11 foot right-of-way
which legally cannot have cars parked on it, leaving only 7 feet between
the right-of-way and the beginning of the proposed garages.

Status of applicant. (owner, buyer, renter, agent, etc. ) :
Street address and/or legal description of property petitioned for
variance:
Zoning district in which property is located:
Request:
Pursuant to Section 15, Subd. 5 , of the City of St. Anthony Zoning
Ordinance, a variance shall not be granted for any use not permitted in
the zone in which a particular parcel lies.
• 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 of land involved, the proposed
variance would relieve an undue hardship, as distinguished--from a mere
inconvenience, should the applicable ordinance be strictly enforced.
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.
3) The alleged difficulty or hardship is caused by City Ordinance and .
has not been created by any persons presently having an interest in the
parcel of land.

CITY OF ST. ANTHONY
PETITION FOR VARIANCE 1 � •
3) The alleged difficutly or hardship is caused by City
Ordinance and has not been created by any persons presently
having an interest in the parcel of land.
The first city ordinance that created difficulty is the ordinance
that prevents parking on the street during the winter months.
Because the cars then have to be parked in the driveway, a
reshuffling of the cars ig necessary every time you want to
remove a car from the garage. Replacing the two single car
garages with two double car garages would solve the parking
problem.
The second city ordinance that creates difficulty is the setback
requirement of 35 feet. Right now, cars are parked from the
street until the 35-foot setback. The variance would allow that
the cars would be parked in that same area, but have them
enclosed in a garage which would improve the appearance of the
front of the house.
We have owned this parcel of land for less than two years. This
hardship was not created by us. However, we are . trying to
resolve this hardship and to improve the appearance of our
property.

30
31 A. Planning Commission - April 17, 1990
32
33 The minutes of the April 17, 1990 Planning Commission meeting were distributed
34 to the City Councilmembers. Commissioner Hansen stated that the minutes accurately
35 reflect the proceedings of the meeting. '
36
37 Commissioner Hansen is representing the Planning Commission at this meeting.
38
39 1 . Setback variance request - Barbara Zielinska, 2608/10 37th Avenue N.E.
40 This request is to allow a twenty foot front yard variance to the 35 foot
k, front yard setback required by ordinance to.-allow the construction of two
42 double garages.
43
44 The Planning Commission had recommended denial of this request noting
45 their shared concerns regarding safety, inability to answer all of the
46 questions affirmatively on the Petition for Variance and the nature of
47 this request being based on actual undue hardship.
48
• 49 Ms. Zielinska directed the Council 's attention to the plans and drawings
50 she brought of the proposed garages. She noted that these plans and drawings
Regular Council Meeting
April 24, 1990
page 3
1 were different than those she brought to the Planning Commission meeting.
2 She stated that the major change in the plans was the distance from the
3 street to the garages. VanderHeyden indicated her concern with this con-
4 struction interfering with the public right-of-way.
5
6 The City Attorney reviewed the plans and felt he could not give a opinion
7 without knowing where the lots lines were . He suggested a survey should be
8 gotten of the parcel .
9
10 Councilmember Enrooth felt the Council should*'be making a decision on the
11 same plans the Planning Commission had viewed. Commissioner Hansen agreed
12 and noted that one of the concerns of the Planning Commission has been the safety
13 factor. Councilmember Enrooth noted that this type of situation had happened
14 before and felt it did a diservice to the Planning Commission.
15
16 Mayor Pro-tem Ranallo observed that the site lines of this home are in One
17 with those adjacent to it .
18
19 Councilmember Marks wondered if this changed plan could still answer the three
20 questions affirmatively of the Petition for Variance.
21
22 Ms. Zielinska again stated her family's need for additional parking. The
�3 family presently has four vehicles and she feels it is more unsafe for the
24 area when any of the cars are parked on the boulevard. •
25
26 Councilmember Makowske inquired of Commissioner Hansen if he thought the
�7 Planning Commission might have responded to this request differently if
28 it had these new plans and drawings. He said the concerns of the Planning
�9 Commission and of the City staff focused on safety and public right-of-way.
30 He felt if the Planning Commission were to address this issue again it would
31 be very helpful to know exactly where the right-of-way is located.
32
33 Motion by Makowske, second by Marks to table this matter so the Planning
34 Commission can take a second look at it. Councilmember Makowske suggested
35 that the changed plans and drawings be shown to the Planning Commission
36 and that the matter of the lot lines be reviewed. She suggested that Ms.
37 Zielinska meet with the City Manager who will obtain the survey showing
38 the lot lines.
7._x=:-40. Motion carried unanimously
2. Setback Variance Request - James Pirino, 2917 33rd Avenue N.E.
43 Commissioner Hansen again stated that the minutes of the April 17, 1990
44 Planning Commission meeting accurately reflected the proceedings of the
45 meeting.
46
47 Pirino stated his position, under the advise of legal .counsel , that a variance
48 is not required. He is requesting a front. yard variance of twenty feet from
49 the average front yard setback (53 feet. 4 inches) of the two adjacent pro-
50 perties. •

7 Ms . VanderHeyden restated some of the concerns staff had regarding
8 the variance which had been presented in her April 10th memorandum
9 in. the agenda packet . These included potential safety problems with
10 a driveway only 15 feet long as well as concerns that the private
11 service sewer lines into the units which are now buried in the slope
12 in the terrain in front of the projects might not be adequately covered
13 when t e Garage .:nits are constructed over 'k"-eInl. She also mentioned
'_- the possibility of liability for the City should the City snow p_cws
15 hit one of the cars parked in the driveway during the winter.
16 The Assistant to the City Manager also reported finding no
17 precedent for allowing a similar variance in the City other
13 than for non-conforming front yard structures which were grandfathered
19 in with the 1973 ordinance or allowed after the 1984 tornado. •
20 She said the only instance she could find was for a garage
21 in front of the Hance home on Silver Lake for which the Council
22 had found a hardship resulting from the stringent requirements
23 imposed on lakeshore property by the DNR.
24 Mr. Burt indicated the City ' s utility lines in the public right of
25 way would not be impacted by the proposed construction.
26
27 The public hearing was opened at 7 : 43 P . M
28
29 Barbara Zielinska, the only spokesperson for the variance, reported
30 her family was now driving four vehicles and needed more than a single
31 garage for their three bedroom bungalow. She indicated a double garage
32 would allow them to hide two of the vehicles from view and would leave
33 only two vehicles on the driveway rather than the three which will have
34 to be parked there during the winter when the City ' s parking restriction
35 are in force. The applicant also pointed out that three vehicles parked
36 on her driveway posed a greater obstruction to the view of neighbors
37 exiting onto that busy street .
38
39 Mrs . Zielinska reported the applicants had a contractor friend as
a 40 well as an uncle who is an architect who would help them with the projec
41 and assure a nice appearance for the garage exteriors. The existing
42 'garages would be sealed off and perhaps utilized as living space later
43 on she told Commissioner Franzese. However, the need for more garage
44 space for the four vehicles was the prime consideration right now.
45 The applicant also told the Commissioner she had discussed the prof
46 with her neighbors and they had indicated no objection based on the
47 knowledge of the "good care her family already gave their property. "
48
49 There was no one else present to speak to the issue and the public
50 hearing was closed at 7:49 P. M. for Commission consideration.

2 Commissioner Faust indicated his concern with the conformity of the
3 project with other :rant yard setbacks in adjacent properties and t o
4 safety factor of having only 15 feet of driveway which even ogle normal
5 sized car would fill .
6
7 Commissioner Wagner said he was also concerned with the length of
8 drive-Nay to accommodate the vehicles but his greatest concern was
g the size of the variance, 20 feet which would make t,-.e new garages so
10 far out of alignment with other front yards in the same area .
11
12 Commissioner Hansen said he was also concerned about the safety factor
13 with parking even two cars on only 15 feet of driveway exiting onto that
14 busy street . Fe imagined that a driver would almost be out in the street
15 -efore he cr she had a chance to judge the _speed of approaching vehicles .
16
17 Commissioner Brownell questioned whether the three questions which the
18 applicant had to answer affirmatively on the Petition- for Variance could
• 19 realistically have been answered thus for this project . lie perceived
L0 the variance relieved more of an inconvenience than an undue hardship;
21 saw no extraordinary circumstance related to that particular parcel to
22 justify a variance, and did not agree that the City Ordinance caused
23 any particular difficulty or hardship for the property owners . He indi
24 Gated he would therefore oppose granting the variance.
25
26 Commissioner Werenicz also questioned the validity of affirmative replies.'
27 to the three questions and joined the other Commissioners in their
28 opposition to the variance.
29
30 Chairperson Madden said the magnitude of the discrepancy in structure
31 alignment with adjacent properties in addition to the problem the shorter
32 driveway might pose for the City snow removal plows prompted his
33 opposition to chanting the variance.

35 Motion by Werenicz, seconded by Wagner to recommend that the City Council

37 backs maintained by adjacent properties for two double garages in front
38 of the double bungalow at 2608/10 37th Avenue N. E. finding that ( 1) the
39 Commission did not perceive the three questions in the variance applicati
40 could be answered in the affirmative; ( 2 ) the safety factors and potentia
41 problems with the sewer line with the construction justified the denial
92 of the variance as well as (3) the lack of precedence for granting simila
43 requests in the past .

I T EM : ZONING AMENDMENT AND CONDITIONAL USE REQUESTS FROM
WEIS COMPANIES FOR SELF-STORAGE IN A "C" COM14ERCIAL
DISTRICT
The applicant, Weis Companies , has petitioned for an amendment to the
Zoning Ordinance to add self-service storage (mini-storage) as a
specifically listed conditional use in a Commercial District.
The applicant feels that since the ordinance was adopted in 1973 , the
business of self-service storage has evolved to be more of a passive
commercial use. Staff has contacted surrounding communities to find out
what zoning districts self-storage is permitted in.
Arden Hills Zoned Industrial , may put in Commercial by
conditional use.
Shoreview Industrial only. Not allowed in Commercial
district.
Roseville Light Industrial ( I1) with special use permit,
Heavy Industrial (I2) permitted use. Not allowed
in Commercial district.
New Brighton Light Industrial only. Not permitted in Commercial
district.
Columbia Heights Industrial district only.
Fridley: Industrial, special use for Commercial .
As evident from the survey, the concept of self-storage in a Commercial
district is not well received in surrounding suburbs.
If the Commission recommends approval of the Zoning Amendment, the
applicant is requesting approval of a conditional use for a self-storage
facility on the Apache Plaza site. The location is north of 39th Avenue
. N.E. directly east of the apartments (see map) . The applicant has
submitted a site plan, landscape plan, and letter for your review.
PLEASE RETURN PLANS AND RENDERINGS FOR THIS REQUEST TO MR BURT OR

Mr . Thomas D. Bu'rt , .City Manager
City of St . Anthony
3301 Silver Lake Road
St . Anthony, MN 55418
Re : Request to construct a self-service storage facility on the
northwest quadrant of 39th- Avenue Northeast and Apache
Lane, St . Anthony, Minnesota.
Dear Mr . Burt :
As per our meeting of March 21 , 1990, I am writing to initiate the
municipal approval process to allow for the construction of a
self-service storgge facility at the above referenced location .
This request is focused at two issues:
• 1. We seek an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance of the City
of St . Anthony providing for self-service storage as a
specifically listed conditional use in a Commercial
District . Application attached.
2 . We seek approval of the attached Application For
Conditional Use Permit .
Self-service storage, more commonly referred to as mini storage,
is not referenced in the St. Anthony Village Zoning Ordinance as
adopted in 1973 . Since that time this land use has evolved to a
level representing over one hundred (100) individual facilities
and nearly three and one half million (3 ,500, 000) square feet in
the twin city metropolitan area . Further, the Minnesota State
Legislature adopted a statute (M.R.S. Section 514. 970.514 .979) in
1988 providing : a legal definition for a self-sery-ice storage
facility, a lien procedure for personal property stored at a
self-service storage facility, the recognition of a difference
between a warehouse and a self-service storage facility.
The retail nature of the product has evolved to a point where many
of the traditional design and operating norms are no longer the
standard. A state-of-the-art , self-service storage facility is
not located in an industrial area. It is, however , close to the
retail center of a community providing the customer with the same
convenience as other commercial/retail businesses . The user base
is not industrial in nature . In fact, most customers (90t on the
average) are private individuals storing household goods.
• The ro osed self-service storage facilit y will not be detrimental
to the health, safety, or general welfare of persons residing or
working in the vicinity or injurious to property values or
improvements in the vicinity.
Mr . Thomas D. Burt •
April 2 , 1990
Page 2
Average traffic generation at a self-service storage facility of
the size proposed is approximately ten ( 10) trips per hour . Few,
if any land uses , generate this low level of vehicular traffic .
The low level of activity as generated my this use will serve as
a desirable transitional use between the com:rercially zoned Apache
Plaza to the east and the apartments (R-4) to the hest . All
activity within the complex will be passive in nature with no
noise generating , active functions allowed .
The nature of the contents stored in each individual storage space
is limited contractually by the Rental Agreement with each
Occupant . Items generating a risk to the community are strictly
prohibited . Also, as already mentioned , the vast majority of the
users of the product are residentially oriented storing personal
possessions , furniture or seasonal and sporting goods .
The parcel has never been developed partly because of its narrow
width as compared to the length. Self-service storage is
conducive to the dimensions of the property. Also, this
development will enhance the area by providing an architecturally
pleasing structure accompanied by well maintained landscaping. •
The proposed self-service storage facility is desirable at the
requested location as it will provide a service which is in the
interest of public convenience and will contribute to the general
welfare of the community. Currently, there is no conveniently
located self-service storage facility offering state-of-the art
security and operations to the residents of St . Anthony. The
proposed project will offer the latest in technology insuring the
best product available today and in the future.
The site plan we have submitted for approval incorporates
requirements of both the St . Anthony Zoning Ordinance and our
internal dictate to construct an economically feasible project .
As the revenue generated by the proposed project is directly
proportional to the finite amount of space available to rent and
the pricing and space availability of competitive facilities
within the primary market, it is critical that a pleasing and
acceptable facility be constructed while stringent budgetary
guidelines are adhered to. The site plan as submitted will
achieve this goal .
Sincerely,
David H. Deebach •

19 be approximately 100 feet from the Apache Medical Office building on
20 Stinson Boulevard . Mr. Solie then identified himself and Gerry Cowan
• 21 who was with him as the owners of Village Properties who are part owners
22 of the medical building . He said they had received no notice of the
23 hearing and only learned it would be held during a casual conversation
24 within the last few days . The City Manager indicated he assumed their
25 company was not listed on the tax rolls for that building which was
26 used to identify those who are required by law to be notified of such
17 a hearing.
28
29 When asked , Mr. Solie indicated he and Mr. Cowan would not object
30 to continuation of the hearing but because they had no opportunity to
31 review the plans for the new facility might request the Commission
32 consider tabling a recommendation after the testimony of other interestec
33 parties present that evening was taken .
34
35 Staff Report
36
37 Mr. Burt discussed his April _10th memorandum to the Commissioners in-
38 cluding the results of an informal survey he had made of surrounding
39 suburbs to ascertain how they treated similar facilities in their
40 ordinances . He said from the response he had concluded that typically
41 self-storage facilities remained an Industrial use and were still
42 viewed as "warehousing uses. "
43
44 The City Manager reported receiving three inquiries of where the
45 facility would be located from Silver Lane residents who were concerned
46 the vacant area at Stinson and Silver Lane might be the site of the
• 47 proposed development. When the callers realized where the facilities
48 were being requested, they were no longer concerned.

50 The agenda packet contained copies of the detailed site and landscaping

i plans as well as a letter from the applicants giving justifications for
2 making the requested zoning change . Mr. Burt identified the owner of
3
the pro.erty as =pache and not the applicants .
6 T ha e public ::oaring opened at 8 : 03 P. �i. with i;eiss Companies repre-
6 sentatives , Norman Brody, David Deerach, and Charles Habiger answering
7 Commission questions related to the 700 unit storage facility the
8 :roposed constructing predicated upon approval of the site plan .
9 The development location would be within a narrow 800 foot long
1p space which has remained undeveloped since the apache mall has been
11 in existence .
12
13 The Weiss Companies representative told the Commissioners market
14 studies had show this area of multi residential development would be
i5 very conducive to their proposed facility which they anticipated
16 would be designed for 90 residential and 10°b commercial use as
17 adjusted fcr user mix. The study indicates a need for 300 , 000 square
18 feet of self service units within a , five mile radius .
19 The owners intend to operate the facility much like a regular retail
20 operation from an office in the facility which would be retain in nalee
21 with large windows , a decorative canopy in front and signage to matc.
22 the adjacent retail mall operation . The facility would be open to its
23 users only during regular store hours . There would probably be no access
24 to the building much after 9: 00 P. M. Security would be provided by
25 a secure card access which would be recorded on a print out system
26 in the office . The hours the facility would be open would be designed
27 not to adversely affect the nearby residential neighbors and users woul
28 be locked out of their units after normal business hours .
-)g
30 The applicants indicated there would be a 10 foot buffer around the
31 perimeter of the facility which would meet all pertinent codes .
32
33 'There would be nine different sized units with only 15 or 20 of the
34 larger 30 foot wide by 30 foot deep available for merchants use. The
35 smaller units would be mostly located on the second . These would be
36 the size of a small closet, 5 feet by feet, designed for use of
37 apartment dwellers who need additional space for seasonal equipment,
38 etc. Other sized units could be utilized by residents who for one
39 reason or another are downgrading their housing needs .
40
41 Twenty foot driveways should be sufficient for the type of vehicles
42 expected to use ' the majority of these units. Most users of the larger
43 units would be expected to bring materials to and from the units in
44 vehicles not anticipated to exceed two axles like pickups. Only rarely
45 could a multi axel vehicle be expected to access the building and then
46 only for a short time. Commissioner Madden had noted that a similar
47 facility in the Village had 34 foot driveways and mentioned that sore
48 vans were stored in those units. Mr. Brody indicated seven foot .headers
49 on the doors would probably prevent large .vans from being stored inside.
50
Planning Commission Meeting
April 17 , 1990
Page 6
1 Concerns about flammable materials being stored in the facility would also
2 have to come. into play with probably only cars stored there long term when
3 the tans would have to be emptied .
5 Commissioner Werenicz that the pylon sign idicated on the plans would,
6 not be allowed by the City Sign Ordinance and only one sign would be
7 allowed on the building .
8
9 The building would be a masonry project with decorative block on the walls
10 exposed to .the exterior . Accent earth tone striping would probably be used .
11 A standing seam steel roof is anticipated but bids are being taken now
12 on a masonry or precast concrete roof .
13
14 The definition of the facility is "pure passive storage" to comply with
15 the self storage law enacted in Minnesota in 1988 . Therefore only one
16 light fixture would be provided to the large units and because the
17 facility would only be open during daylight Lours the smaller units
18 wouldn ' t even need that fixture . There will be no climate control in
19 the building and no opportunity for unit owners to work on cars or anything
• 20 else in tseir units .
21
22 Summer time hours might be extended out to accomodate contractors , etc .
23 who start work earlier and finish later to get their equipment out of then
24 units . Activity diminishes in t*he winter hours so the hours of operation
25 would be shortened up during that season . Gate hours when a unit owner
26 may access the building electronically may differ from the office hours
27 just like banks with .ATM facilities . The gate hours in the winter may
28 be from 7 : 00 in the morning until 8 : 00 at night with the office only
29 open from 8 : 00 A. M. to 6 : 00 P. M. In the summer hours the gate would be
30 from 6 : 00 A. M. to 9 : 00 P. M. but the office hours would be the same.
31 For security reasons the company does not desire to be open in the late
32 evening hours and they don ' t want anybody in the facility after closing
33 time. In deference to the apartment dwellers near the facility all
34 exterior lighting would be downlighted .
35
36 All storage of hazardous waste would be contracurally prohibited in these
37 units . The storage of toxic or flammable materials or even materials that
38 might degrade, including food will be prohibited in the rental agreements .
39 Control will be provided by. the onsite management . However they can only
40 inspect materials when they are put into or taken out of the units since
41 they have no access into the units themselves when they are unattended.
42 Mr. Brody added that apartment garages in the area offered less security
43 than they provided behind locked gates, electronic security and video
44 cameras throughout. He then described the print out system which keeps
45 track of any egress to the building.
• 46
47 Access to the second story units it by stairwell or mechanically operate
48 hydraulic lifts designed to transport materials but not people which come
49 in at the west side of the center building.

1 Commissioners were also advised that the Weiss Companies had negotiated
2 a lease which was a 20 year lease with 4 five year extensions . The building
3 would not be sprinkled . They were assured that if the onsite security is

6 The height of the security fence would be whatever the City code allowed

9
10 Ken Solie indicated that the owners of the office building were concerned
11 that with all the distressed commercial in the area adding industrial use
12 would only add to the poor image already present in that center. He said
13 he wasn ' t very comfortable with the proposed industrial use in an area
14 which is and should be developed increasingly with successful and strong
15 commercial use .
16
17 the public hearing was closed at 8 : 37 P. M. for Commission discussion.
18
19 It was determined that the only City street in the complex was 3941-1h
20 revenue.
21
22 Comments by the Commissioners were as follows :
23 Commissioner Hansen said his primary concern i.as allowing an industrial
25 use in a commercial area . He preferred a retail shopping strip.
26 Commissioner Brownell agreed the use fit more appropriately in an indus-
27 trial rather than a ,commercial area . However, he said he thought this
29 would be a good use for this spot because there are already commercial
30 endeavors which haven ' t met with much success in this center . He perceived
31 putting another small shopping center would not particulary benefit the
32 existing property owners .
34 Commissioner Werenicz said he would like to research the recent Minnesota
35 statute on this type of use. He indicated he found the concept "very
interesting and thought it might work in this particular area . He didn' t
36 view this as an industrial type use and perceived the applicant had made
37 some valid arguments about times changing which might make the City Zoning
39 Ordinance somewhat outdated when it comes to new uses like this one.
40 He didn ' t see the need for another commercial strip in that location where
41 two are already dying. He couldn ' t perceive any other use going into
42 that particular space.
44 Commissioner Franzese indicated she agreed with what had been said about
5 the existing uses in that center and questioned whether a closed in facilit
45 like this one really fit in that area or might rather be detrimental to
47 the surrounding vicinity.
49 Chairperson Hadden thought the facility would provide a good buffer betweei
50 the residential Equinox and the commercial Apache. He didn' t see this as
Planning Commission Meeting
April 17 , 1990
Page 8
1 - "nuisance providing environment . " However he thought to amend the
2 ordinance for the use would be a big step he wasn ' t really sure
3 he wanted to take because it would open the commercial districts
4 in the City to this special use as well . He agreed the City didn ' t
5 have that ,:zany areasavailable for commercial anyway and -.e said he
6 wouldn ' t want to make the wrong choice on one that is still open .
7
8 Commissioner Wagner indicated he would tend to favor the request .
9 He pointed out that there aren ' t that many large units in the facility
10 to lend it to an industrial use although he anticipated 15 or 20 of
11 the largest units might be too many to really pursue the residential
12 and private storage . If it remains gauged for primarily that type of
13 use , he didn ' t think it would be such a bad operation for that location
14 nor would it adversely impact the rest of the area . The Conditional
15 Use Permit can be written to assure the facility would be kept up
16 and the area around it properly maintained . e perceived if kept up
17 this facility would look as good as the back of the garages now which
18 it would shield . He wondered if this facility might not even bring
19 in more shoppers for the area . However , with control of the materials
20 which can be stored there he didn ' t see how the facility could be
• 21 detrimental to the surrounding area and questioned whether the Fire
22 Department would allow the building not to be sprinkled .
23
24 Commissioner Faust commented that the market studies had indicated this
25 to be the highest and best use for that land. He said if that area has
26 been vacant all those years he couldn ' t help but believe a 100 unit
27 facility was bound to bring in people z•.ho might want to shop in Apache
28 Plaza while they were there.
29
30 Mr. Burt advised there was no vehicle for treating this area separately
31 because to do so could easily be viewed as "spot zoning" . However,
32 size requirements could be put in the ordiance which would prevent the
33 use in smaller commercial areas . you could also limit the site size by
34 citing a maximum amount of land or acreage which could be used for that
35 type of facility . He pointed out that there are only two vacant pro-
36 perties in the City now besides Apache and they are both quite small .
37 He identified these as the triangular piece of land in the Kenzie
38 Terrace area and the area just north of Firestone near the medical
39 office. However it would be prudent to put restrictions of size in
40 the ordinance in case a commercial area did move out.
41
42 The City Manager told Commissioner Franzese he was aware of only one
43 industrial area 'open to development inthe City now and that was the
44 land east of American Monarch which is up for sale now. Chair
45 Madden observed that parcels location right across from residential
46 made it less desirable for this type of use than the parcel considered
• 47 that evening.
48 Chair Madden indicated he used the storage facilities near his home
49 and perceived the resident manager was not doing a good job of maintenai
50 outside.

12 The meeting was recessed from 8 : 58 P .M. to 9: 05 P.':,4. when Chairperson
13 Madden read aloud the Notice of Hearing to consider the request from
14 James and Harriet Pirino to allow a 33 foot front yard setback from
15 the average front yard of the two adjacent lots of 53 feet required --y
16 Ordinance. Approval of the petition for the 20 foot variance would
17 allow the applicants to locate the home they had moved into St . Imnthcny
18 facing east on their property at 2917 33rd Avenue N. E. with a garage
19 proposed in the front of the house leaving a front yard -setback of only
20 33 feet.
21
22 The notice had been published in the April 4th Bulletin and sent to AN
23 property owners of record within 300 eet of the subject property. No
24 one present reported failure to receive the notice or objected to its
25 content .

27 Staff Report
28
29 City Manager Burt reiterated much of the information in his April 10th
30 1990 memorandum and gave the timetable of events which had prompted
31 Public Works Director Hamer to issue a stop work order on the constructio
32 of the garage early in March. As noted in his memorandum , Mr. Burt
33 indicated the project was allowed to proceed with the understanding
34 on the part of the applicants that finishing the block work on the garage
35 would be at their own risk and could be ordered out, pending the outcome
36 of the variance request.
37
38 The City Manager reported he had consulted City Attorney Soth regarding
39 the lanquage in the City Ordinance regarding front yard setback require-
40 ments. Mr. Soth agreed that the 1973 Ordinance might be open to intre-
41 pretation which he perceived could be made by the Planning Commission
42 'and Council. A copy of the pertinent section of the ordinance had
43 been provided in the agenda packet.
44
45 The City Manager also indicated he had driven around the City and re-
46 searched the files regarding any non conforming front yard setbacks.
47 This had led him to conclude that except for the homes which were de*y
48 ed by the 1984 tornado and were allowed to be reconstructed on their
49 original foundations as well as those which had been grandfathered in
50 with the adoption of the 1973 Ordinance, there was only one home where

29 Commissioner Ranallo inquired what the funds in the H.R.A. account can be
30 used for. The City Attorney advised these funds can be used for public imp-
31 rovements within the District. Some examples of uses is streets and utilities.
32 He will contact an associate regarding the usage of H.R.A. dollars allowed by
33 current law.

35 The City Manager advised he has been contacted regarding the purchase of a
36 home on Harding Street which is in very poor condition. It had been sug-
37 gested that H.R.A. funds could be used for this purpose. A neighbor in the
38 area felt the H.R.A. could purchase the home and rehabilitate it or clear
39 the property and sell the parcel . It was noted that the house has never been
40 owner/occupied and there is considerable debris in the yard.
41
42 Commissioner Enrooth suggested that the fund could be used as a revolving
43 fund to upgrade problem housing in the City. The City Manager felt the fund
44 could also be used to address water problems being experienced. He sug-
45 gested it could be spent on a feasibility study and for the services of
46 an engineer. This would need approval of the City of Minneapolis.

I T EM : DRAINAGE PROBLEM - EASEMENT FROM OSBORNE PROPERTIES
The attached letters from Kraus Anderson address a concern they have
about the development of Autumn Woods Apartments' impact on the drainage
of their property. Kraus Anderson is requesting the City have an
engineer firm determine if the existing catch basin is adequate to
handle run off as the parking lot now exists.
Until the City agrees to this, Kraus Anderson will not grant the City a
.utility easement for the vacated section of Coolidge Street. I have
discussed this with Bill Soth and he agrees that the H.R.A. should
consider hiring an engineer to review the drainage for this area.

Re: Town & Country Food Store, 2550 Highway 88,
St. Anthony, Minnesota
Dear Mr. Burt:
As of the date of this letter, this office has not received any
answer or action from the City of St. Anthony in response to my
letter to you dated April 17, 1990. The principals of the St.
Anthony LaNel Partnership have spoken with management of this
office, but Osborne Properties' position on this matter, as set
forth in my April 17, 1990 letter, remains unchanged.
Until the City addresses the issues raised in my letter, Osborne
• Properties has no alternative but to protect its rights as land
owner. These rights include prohibiting the City or any other
party from entering upon the Osborne parcel for purposes of
maintaining, installing, or repairing the' City owned utility
lines located within vacated Coolidge Street, for which the City
has no easement. Regrettably, Osborne Properties has no choice
but to enforce its rights until the City satisfies Osborne's
concerns to Osborne's satisfaction. We believe that prompt
action by the City will be for the mutual benefit of all parties
involved, and I look forward to the City's response.

Re: Quit Claim Deed for part of Town & Country Food Store
Property, 2550 Highway 88, St. Anthony, Minnesota
Dear Mr. Burt:
This letter is in response to your request for Osborne
Properties to execute a Quit Claim Deed for a portion of the
referenced property. There are some legitimate concerns that
need to be addressed before consideration is given to this
Quit Claim Deed.
• First, agreeing to the Deed severely impairs the value and
future development of this property. As you are aware, the
proposed property to be deeded, runs through the middle of
the property. In addition, the City would like us to execute
a private utility easement for Autumn Woods which connect to
the public utility lines for which the City is requesting a
Quit Claim Deed. These lines were installed across our
property without our knowledge or consent. We have already
denied the private utility easement as this further decreases
the value of the property.
Secondly, when a portion of our land was condemned for Autumn
Woods, we lost- 1--wo catch basins that* G 1Gi•i our pdYiI• :y lot.
.
A third catch basin that drains the lot is on the Autumn
Woods property. Already this spring that basin was not
properly maintained and caused a major "lake" in our parking
lot and when it finally drained, it left sand and gravel
spread over the lot. To resolve this issue, we are asking
the City to hire an independent licensed engineering firm.
We ask that they study the current situation to determine if
the existing catch basin is adequate to handle the run-off as
the parking lot now exists. If it is, we need a permanent
easement to drain the run off of our parking lot and the
reassurance that the basin will be properly maintained to '
accept the run-off. If the current situation is not
adequate, or if the City cannot promise us an easement; then
523 South Eighth Street • �lllllllapc�li�, \linnc;c�t , 57)-1()-1-Ilt7S • ((A2) 3321-1241
•
the engineering firm should recommend what the City should
do, at their expense, to make sure our property drains
properly. This may include grade changes, the installation
of one or more catch basins on our property, and returning
the premise to existing its condition.
Mr. Burt, we are anxious to resolve this issue. I will be
happy to answer any questions you might have. Otherwise, I
will await your response.
Sincerely,
KRAUS-ANDERSON REALTY COMPANY
