Anthony. He noted he had heard 52 frequently about the water plant problems and their solutions . 1 REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING • 2 APRIL 28 , 1992 3 PAGE 2 4 5 6 Referring to the recently adjourned Legislative Session , 7 Senator Marty felt it had been productive and there was 8 considerable bipartisan cooperation. A good example of this 9 spirit of cooperation was the Healthright bill . The Senator 10 felt this was a step in the right direction to get a handle on 11 health costs , although it will be several years before the 12 cost savings and actual costs will be realized. 13 14 Senator Marty authored both a DWI bill and a Crime'`Package . He 15 noted that the Crime Package passed unanimously in both the 16 Senate and the House. 17 18 The Senator ' s position on the sales tax is that it affords_. 19 more equity. He noted that -the Governor ' s proposed cuts on 20 Local Government Aids would not have impacted school 21 districts , counties or townships . The sales tax has more merit 22 as it affects all entities . 23 24 Representative McGuire advised that the Workers ' Compensation 25 bill which passed offers a sixteen percent reduction in rates-, 26 controls medical costs and has administrative reforms . She 27 noted this legislation will be monitored closely to see if it • 28 does what was intended . 29 30 The education reductions did not cut as much as if shifting 31 had been implemented. Violence prevention and criminal -12 incarcerations were funded dollar for dollar . A teacher 33 internship pilot program and higher education courses for high 34 schools were fully funded. 35 36 Representative McGuire noted that the environmental issues did__ . _ 37 not fare so well during this session. A landfill clean up 38 account was instituted and programs were put in place to 39 control eurasion milfoil . A park development program for the 40 metro area was also funded. Other programs which were 41 addressed and implemented were energy efficient standards for 42 highway lighting and funding of Metro Mobility. - She advised 43 that the 1 . 2 million dollars allocated for Metro Mobility will 44 reduce some portions of the program if the agency does not 4_5 find additional funding. 46 47 Ramsey County has been authorized as an Housing and 48 Redevelopment Authority. This authorization will sunset in two 49 years . 50 51 Representative McGuire offered her assistance to the City with 52 the EPA regarding the granular carbon filtration plant . She • 53 also indicated a willingness to help with the re-routing of 54 the MTC bus in St . Anthony . I REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING 0 APRIL 28 , 1992 PAGE 3 . 4 5 6 The Mayor gave the current status of the re-routing issue. He 7 referred to the statutory authority of MTC to determine routes 8 for its buses . A letter will be sent under the Mayor ' s 9 signature which will address this authority. The letter will 10 be copied to Senator Marty, Representative McGuire and 11 Hennepin County Commissioner Makowske. 12 13 Representative McGuire noted that she is monitoring the 14 emissions from Metro Recovery Systems in Roseville. She will 15 be following up on the review process of all of the plants in 16 the area and will advise the councils of the respective cities 17 in the area . 188 19 She also has some information regarding bathroom requirements 20 which she will give to the City Manager . 21 22 Marks inquired what special items were not addressed during 23 the recent legislative session . He recalled that in the past 24 moving city financing away from property taxes had been a 25 consideration . He noted that Local Government Aids are always 26 a target for cuts . He wondered if there are any plans to 7 "revisit" this issue specifically in the form of a Constitutional Amendment so funding for cities is unavailable _ for "tinkering. " 30 31 Senator Marty observed that the Local Government Trust Fund 32 was supposed to be- dedicated to that goal . He felt giving 33 cities local options , such as the sales tax, would be prime 34 targets for "raiding" and that some communities have few 35 options for local sales taxes . 36 37 Marks stated that a Constitutional Amendment could address 38 dedicating a certain portion of the sales tax for Local 39 Government Aid . 40 41 Mayor Ranallo advised that St . 'Anthony has a "stand in place" 42 budget and when the projections of LGA came down things looked 43 even worse than first was thought . He felt the State should 44 start looking at its own spending. 45 46 The Senator felt the State did not receive great marks for 47 good budgetary processes . The State does to the cities what 48 the federal government does to the State . He noted that the 49 State refers to taxes as fees , charges , etc . Fleming suggested 50 some areas she felt the State could make cuts . 51 52 Representative McGuire advised that the .reduction in transit funding will impact the performance level of Metro Mobility in St . Anthony . Fleming noted that an increase in fare box I REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING 2 APRIL 28 , 1992 • 3 PAGE 4 4 5 6 charges would solve the funding problem. 7 8 Marks stated that the Council may request some assistance if 9 it is decided to extend and continue some tax increment 10 financing districts . 11 12 13 5.

Verified Claims 50 51 Motion by Marks , second by Fleming to approve the three pages of the verified claims . 4 Motion carried unanimously 1 REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING • 2 APRIL 28 , 1992 3 PAGE 6 4 5 6 SILVER LAKE ROAD EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FROM RAMSEY COUNTY 7 8 Dan Soler, Project Manager from Ramsey County Public Works 9 Department , stated he is attending the Council meeting at the 10 City Council 's request . His purpose is to give an update on 11 the Silver Lake Road Reconstruction Project . The proposed 12 reconstruction will be on Silver Lake Road from Silver Lane to 13 I694 . 14 15 Soler advised that there are three options for the proposal : 16 1 ) cities can agree on the project and give their approval to 17 proceed ; ( the cities involved are St . Anthony and New Brighton 18 along with Ramsey County) ; 2 ) recycle or overlay the roadway ; 19 or , 3 ) do nothing. 20 21 The Mayor inquired if the sidewalk on the west side of Silver 22 Lake Road adiacentto _the Sa.lvat_i_on—Army__Camp—i.s___sti-ll 23 included in the project . He was advised that this is still the 24 case . 25 26 Marks questioned if an environmental assessment needed to be 27 conducted. Soler responded that no wetlands will be impacted • 28 by this project . No wetlands will be taken by it but perhaps 29 a narrower boulevard or retaining wall may have to be 30 considered to protect the wetlands and the marshy areas . 31 32 Enrooth observed that the impact which may be experienced by 33 the development of Wexler Heights was not taken into account 34 regarding Silver Lake when the project was initially being 35 considered. Burt stated that Silver Lake is already being 36 impacted upon by the runoff from the development . 37 38 Soler noted that the developer of Wexler Heights has requested 39 having a storm sewer pipe installed on the county road in the 40 easement area. Soler felt this issue was separate from the 41 Silver Lake Road reconstruction project . He felt the Rice 42 Creek Watershed District will work very closely with St . 43 Anthony when dealing with. storm water runoff of .Silver Lake 44 Road . 45 46 Burt stated that at this point in time the sidewalk proposal 47 has been left in the plan and that the City Council has not 48 been requested to make a decision on that matter . He also felt 49 if CUB located a store in Apache Plaza there would be an 50 impact on the area and on the traffic on Silver Lake Road. 51 52 It was the observation of the City Manager that the original • 53 plan for this reconstruction included a redesign of the 54 roadway to accommodate more traffic, but it was quickly scaled 1 REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 28 , 1992 _ PAGE 7 4 5 6 7 down to make safer turn lanes . Now the additional traffic 8 generated by a CUB store should be a consideration. 9 10 Burt inquired if the "hourglass" design would be appropriate 11 or should the design have stayed as originally proposed. 12 13 Soler advised that the New Brighton City Council has indicated 14 it will not have a decision before May 1st . The City Manager 15 suggested that the Council could meet at 5 : 30 p.m. on May 12th 16 with the New Brighton City Council to discuss the matter . He 17 will set up the meeting and its location .. 18 19 20 7 . REPORTS 21 22 A. Council reports 23 24 Report of Councilmember Wagner 25 26 Wagner attended the Ramsey County League of Local Governments Meeting last week . The guest speaker was Mary Anderson, _ Chairperson of the Metropolitan Council . She spoke on what the 29 Met Council is thinking rather than what the Met Council is 30 doing. He was relatively disappointed in the information she 31 presented . 32 33 34 Report of Councilmember Fleming 35 36 Fleming had nothing to report at this time. 37 38 39 Report of Councilmember Marks 40 41 Marks attended a meeting of the Sister City Committee on . 42 Sunday . He noted that plans for the visit of representatives 43 from Salo; Finland are progressing very well . 44 45 46 Report of Councilmember Enrooth 47 48 Enrooth had nothing to report at this time . 49 50 51 Report of Mayor Ranallo The Mayor noted that June 14th is Flag Day and the One- 4 Hundredth Anniversary of the Pledge of Allegiance is being 1 REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING • 2 APRIL 28 , 1992 3 PAGE 8 4 5 6 7 observed. Citizens are being requested to pause on June 14th 8 at 6 : 00 p .m. to recognize this event . 9 10 The League of Minnesota Cities Annual Conference starts on 11 Tuesday, June 9th. This is the date of the regular . Council 12 Meeting. The Mayor suggested the date be changed to June 2nd. 13 14 Motion by Marks , second by Wagner to change the first Regular 15 Council meeting in June to June 2 , 1992 .. 16 17 18 Motion carried unanimously 19 20 21 The City Manager requested that those Councilmembers who plan _ 22- _to-a-t-t-end—the—League-o-f--M-i-npesota--Ci-ti-es -Con-f-erence—l-e-t=h-im- - 23 know as soon as possible so the early registration discount 24 can be gotten . 25 26 •27 B. Report of the City Manager 28 29 30 1 . Sheik ' s Garden Restaurant Conditional Use Permit 31 32 The City Manager reviewed the history of this request . He 33 noted that there were some new conditions placed on 34 granting of the conditional use permit by the Planning 35 Commission in its recommendation for approval . 36 37 Approval of locating twenty-three amusement devices is 38 still the request . The original request was for thirty- 39 three amusement devices . 40 41 Howard Knutson, a resident of Burnsville and a friend and 42 legal counsel to the owner of Sheik ' s Garden Restaurant , 43 advised the Council he is supportive of approving the 4_4 request . He again stated that the owner, Mr. Alwan, is 45 focusing on operating an establishment which would 46 attract families . It is Mr . Alwan ' s intention to- monitor 47 the behavior of those using the amusement devices very 48 closely. 49 50 Marks observed that the present proposal is identical to 51 the original one which would not allow pool tables on the 52 premises , decreased the number of amusement devices and • 53 was in agreement for an annual review with the owner, the 54 City Manager and the Police Chief . 1 REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING 0 APRIL 28 , 1992 _ PAGE 9 4 5 6 Motion by Fleming, second by Ranallo to deny the request 7 of the owner of Sheik ' s _Garden Restaurant for a 8 conditional use permit . 9 10 The Mayor stated his lack of support for the request is 11 based on the history of problems which have been 12 experienced in Apache Plaza with similar amusement 13 devices . He feels that this type of activity generates 14 extra police calls , is not desirable .for public 15 convenience and has a negative impact on the welfare of 16 the City . 17 18 Marks inquired if there is a mix of adult and children 19 amusement devices . Knutson responded that is the plan . 20 The Mayor stated he had no problem with kiddy amusement 21 devices only, but could not support the fifteen adult 22 amusement devices be.ing requested. Fleming had concern , 23 with the " family environment " section of the application . 24 25 Knutson reviewed the floor plan again . He noted the 26 proposed placement of the amusement devices . It was his opinion that the economics to make the operation viable _ were very difficult and that the devices would aid in the 29 economics . 30 31 Wagner stated he had met with Mr . Alwan and requested he 32 decrease the number of amusement devices being requested . 33 34 Marks recalled that the Malt Shop had pool tables which 35 tend to attract the undesirable element about which the 36 Council appears to be concerned. Knutson inquired if the 37 Council would consider a modification of the request . 38 39 Mayor Ranallo responded that the purpose of the Council 40 is not to negotiate . He also noted that presently there 41 are four machines on the premises and only authorization 42 for three has been given. It was noted that one is not 43 operable. 44 45 Mary Ann Kuharski , 2709 Pahl Avenue, stated her 46 opposition to granting of the conditional use permit . She 47 is not supportive of having twenty-three amusement 48 devices on the premises . She felt there is a safety 49 factor which should be considered and questioned who this 50 establishment is interested in attracting. 51 Mr . Alwan felt the restaurant and the amusement devices would be beneficial for the mall . 4 I REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING 2 APRIL 28 , 1992 3 PAGE 10 4 5 6 7 Roll call : Enrooth, Fleming, Wagner, Ranallo - aye 8 Marks - nay 9 10 Motion carries 11 12 13 2 . Restrictions on Silver Lake 14 15 The City Manager gave the history of the request for 16 restrictions being placed on activity on Silver Lake . In 17 response to the request , which was from a number of 18 residents who live on Silver Lake, the City Attorney 19 drafted an ordinance which would address these concerns . 20 A first reading was held of the ordinance. 21 : 22 In_ follow up- ,to_ the _issue, the_ City__Mana.ger found- no _ 23 overwhelming support of the ordinance among the 24 residents . He recommended no further action by the 25 Council . 26 27 A letter dated April 9 , 1992 was received from the 28 President of the Silver Lake Residents Association . The 29 letter addressed the two factions of property owners and 30 their respective positions on usage and management of 31 Silver Lake, specifically motor boat activity . In his 32 letter it was noted that a compromise was arrived at 33 rather than a consensus of lake management and usage . 34 35 In light of this information , the City Manager presented 36 the same draft ordinance for the Council ' s consideration , 37 but noted that the previous reading does not apply. Marks 38 questioned the language which suggested "no speed limit" 39 would be imposed . Burt stated this language had been 40 suggested by the Department of Natural Resources ,, not.ing 41 that "unregulated" would be a preferable term. He felt 42 this would be very difficult to enforce . 43 44 Enrooth observed that there are two counties and three 45 cities involved with Silver Lake and questioned any 46 .possibility of ,enforcement by Ramsey County or the DNR. 47 He felt the only reality for enforcement may be a posted 48 notice . 49 50 Jerry Faust , 4033 Silver Lake Terrace, spoke in 51 opposition to the ordinance . He felt the issues are not 52 identified and there may actually be no problems . There • 53 54 REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 28 , 1992 _ PAGE 11 4 5 6 7 have been no police calls to his knowledge. He views the 8 whole situation as a selfish move by some lake property 9 owners . 10 11 It is the position of some property owners that fast 12 moving speed boats and snowmobiles are a problem. Faust 13 stated that it is actually the slow moving boats which 14 erode the lake shore . He also has observed that powered 15 boats give way to unpowered boats . In the thirteen years 16 that Faust has lived on Silver Lake , he felt it has been 17 rather quiet most of the time . The public entrance to the 18 Lake is closed from 10 : 00 p .m. until 6 : 00 a.m. . He also 19 noted that the problems which had been experienced with 20 jet skis were addressed by the Legislature last year and 21 these problems have ceased . 22 23 The City Manager noted that the all members of the Silver 24 Lake Residents Association should have been invited to 25 attend this meeting to discuss the ordinance. 26 The Mayor observed this ordinance would be very difficult _ to enforce but it had been requested by the property 29 owners on the lake . 30 31 Faust was of the opinion that the issue is 'bigger than 32 just boat activity enforcement , noting that residents of 33 both St . Anthony and Columbia Heights use the lake. He 34 again referred to the fact that some property owners are 35 focused on protecting their own interests . 36 " 37 Dennis Cavanaugh feels the idea of "privatizing" the lake 38 is outrageous and agrees with Faust that the lake should 39 be for everyone ' s use . 40 41 The City Manager inquired if the City Council wishes to 42 have another reading of the ordinance . The Mayor felt the 43 matter should be brought to a public hearing. He directed 44 the City Manager to schedule a public hearing on the 45 matter and publish the hearing notice in the City ' s 46 paper . 47 48 49 3 . Update on Signal on 37th Avenue and Stinson Boulevard 50 51 The City Manager advised this project is almost ready to be advertised for bids . Presently, the delay is because of the documentation from the State which is necessary . 4 1 REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING 2 APRIL 28 , 1992 • 3 PAGE 12 4 5 6 He hoped that Hennepin County would be in a position to 7 advertise for bids in the next thirty days . 8 9 Fleming inquired if St . Anthony, Columbia Heights , 10 Minneapolis -and Hennepin County are all involved with the 11 project . The City Manager responded they were as well as 12 Ramsey and Anoka Counties . These two counties have waived 13 their involvement with the project . The Soo Line Railroad 14 and the utility companies are also involved . 15 16 4 .- Cable Television 17 18 The City Manager noted that the City has no remaining 19 obligations to use the funds received from cable 20 television on "cable related" expenses . He went back many 21 years in cable records to research this matter . In 1991 22 there was, $15 , 000 designated to the City__fro m cable 23 - prof s' "Over $9 ,000 of this money was given back to the 24 franchise . 25 26 The City has been informed it will be receiving a 27 playback machine . This equipment will afford City staff • 28 considerable opportunities for use on the access channel . 29 Getting more city information and activities out to the 30 residents is a possibility and making of tapes for public 31 access is also a consideration . 32 33 Some of the Management Assistant ' s time will be charged 34 back to the cable fund. The City Manager advised that 35 during the audit , fees can be dedicated to cable. The 36 Finance Director has reviewed the cable records back six 37 years . The fees received by the City go up or down 38 because they are based on the expenses of the Cable 39 Commission . 40 41 The Mayor requested the City Manager to draft a list of 42 items for which the cable funding can used;. The City 43 Manager will get input from staff on this matter . 44 45 5 . Fire Department 1991 Annual Report -46 47 The Fire Chief stated there has been a gradual increase 48 in emergency medical calls . He noted that during the 49 ' 80 ' s there has been some building in the City which 50 would account for the increase. 51 52 There has, been significant increases in the walk-ins to 53 the Fire Department requesting blood pressure, checks and 54 reponses to other precautionary requests . REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 28 , 1992 _ PAGE 13 4 5 6 7 The Mayor requested some vigilance on the part of the 8 Fire Department staff to anticipate the purchase of large 9 pieces of equipment for the Department . He felt these 10 should be budgeted for before they were in .a position of 11 need and the funds may not be available . 12 13 Use of the large fire truck has been decreased . The 14 policy is never take the large truck out for only one 15 purpose . The Chief noted that cars are used more than the 16 truck . 17 18 The City Manager stated that a five year capital 19 equipment budget is being proposed. Two vehicles -in the 20 Fire Department are twenty years old . 21 22 Enrooth questioned why there appears to be increased 23 activity on Monday . The Chief responded that the level of 24 activi.ty is dependent on human activity. 25 26 Enrooth inquired if 'more medical training is needed for the firefighters . The Chief responded that is happening _ already and has been increasing for some time. 29 30 The Chief observed that the neighboring fire departments 31 have called on the St . Anthony Fire Department for 32 assistance more often than the reverse . 33 34 Mayor Ranallo noted that many favorable comments are 35 received regarding the Fire Department . The Chief felt 36 the residents have a considerable amount of confidence in 37 those who give service. 38 39 40 B . PUBLIC HEARINGS 41 42 There were no public hearings . 43 44 45 9 . NEW BUSINESS 46 47 A. Quotations for Road Materials and Water Department 48 Supplies for 1992 49 50 A memo was received from the Public Works Director with 51 recommendations for road materials and Water Department supplies for 1992 . The City Manager advised they are all low bids . 4 I REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING 2 APRIL 28 , 1992 3 PAGE 14 4 5 6 7 Motion by Enrooth, second by Marks to approve the 8 recommendations of the Public Works Director for the 9 purchase of road materials and Water Department supplies 10 for 1992 as noted in his memo dated April 23 , 1992 . 11 12 It was noted that costs are based on usage for these 13 purchases . 14 15 Motion carried unanimously 16 17 18 . B. Appoint Enaineer to do Analysis of the Drainaae System to 19 Ponds in Northeast Corner of Salvation Army Camp 20 21 The City Manager noted that the Wexford Heights 22 development is already into its second phase and there 23 appears to be no concern in place for drainage . 24 25 The Salvation Army Camp has hired Barr Engineering to 26 study the water quality. The Camp is impacted by the 27 water runoff from the Wexford Heights development as well 28 as water runoff from Silver Lake Road and County Road E. 29 30 It was suggested that St . Anthony, New Brighton, Ramsey 31 County, the Salvation Army Camp and the developer of 32 Wexford Heights all meet to discuss their mutual 33 concerns . The City Manager advised that St . Anthony will 34 take the lead in coordinating the solutions for water 35 runoff problems . He noted that Rice Creek Watershed 26 District will also be involved. The developer will pay 37 costs as will other entities for solutions . 38 39 A letter was received from Barr Engineering stating their 40 proposal for performing an. analysis of the drainage 41 system tributary to the ponds in the northeast corner of 42 the Salvation Army Camp. It was stated that the goal of 43 the study is to recommend the most cost effective 44 drainage system for the area , considering conveyance 45 needs , right-of-way and property concerns , and future 46 runoff treatment systems . 47 48 C .

Alwan would, object to closing his 39 restaurant at 9 : 00 p.m which is the time the shopping mall 40 closes . 41 42 Mr. Alwan prefers to close at 10 : 00 p.m. noting that there is 43 a potential for business after 9 : O0 and in the summer months 44 it may still be daylight outside. It was noted that the 45 closing hour for- the restaurant previously located in the 46 shopping mall was 11 : 00 P.M. 47 48 Mr. Knutson addressed the proposed floor plan for the location 49 of the video devices and the -planned party room. The party 50 room will have a movie screen, a large television screen and 51 be available for children ' s birthday parties . He felt the 52 location of the machines would afford the management some 53 advantage in monitoring their use . • 54 1 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING 2 APRIL 21 , 1992 0 PAGE 5 5 6 The seating capacity of the restaurant is approximately fifty 7 people. Franzese inquired what the anticipated proportion of 8 income would be from food and amusement devices . Mr . Knutson 9 noted this is a variable by location and has no hard facts 10 relative to income . He stated that the restaurant ' s present 11 income from food only is very poor . 12 13 Murphy noted that the restaurant ' s goal is to be family 14 oriented and inquired what the marketing strategies are to 15 attract this type of clientele . Newspaper advertising and the 16 previously referred to party room will be part of the 17 marketing strategies . 18 19 Menu selections were discussed and there will be a special 20 children ' s menu. 21 22 The Public Hearing was closed at 7 : 57 p .m. 23 24. Werenicz stated his support for granting the conditional use 25 permit and noted that Mr . Alwan is focusing very hard on the 26 -family oriented spirit of his business . 27 40 He suggested that Condition #8 should include a reference to changing the configuration of the devices dedicated to 30 children ' s entertainment . He felt if the number of kiddy 31 amusement devices is decreased the conditional use permit 32 would be cancelled. Mr . Alwan should be required to- reappear 33 before the Planning Commission and the City Council if he 34 wishes to change the mix of children and adult amusement 35 devices . 36 37 Madden agreed with Werenicz regarding the change of the mix of 38 amusement devices and felt an annual review of the conditional 39 use permit should be added to the conditions . - 40 41 Murphy had nothing to add other than he is supportive of 42 recommending approval of the request . 43 44 Gondorchin had not comments regarding the request . 45 46 Franzese still has a concern regarding the closing time 47 staying at 10 : 00 p.m. She feels this time is too late and that 48 young children are not usually out that late. 49 . 50 Faust indicated he felt this latest request is an improvement 51 over the first request . He has no problem with the closing 52 time of 10 : 00 p.m as Daylight Saving Time adds to that part of 53 the day when families participate in activities together . • 1 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING 2 APRIL 21 , 1992 • 3 PAGE 6 4 5 6 Franzese noted that her specific concern regarding closing 7 times is that everything else in the shopping mall closes at 8 9: 00 p.m. If the restaurant is the only business open after 9 9.: 00 p.m there is a potential for young people to gather 10 there. The bowling alley closes at 11 : 00 p .m. 11 12 Faust observed that there is no eating establishment on the 13 north side of the City where parents can take their, children 14 which does not serve alcohol . He anticipates no problems with 15 the proposed 10 : 00 closing hour and does not view this as a 16 problem. 17 18 Motion by Madden, second by Werenicz to recommend to the City 19 Council that the conditional use permit request of Mr. Alwan 20 for Sheik ' s Garden Restaurant , 3800 Apache Plaza, be approved; 21 that the eight conditions as recommended by staff be included 22 in the conditional use permit approval ; that no one appeared 23 at the Public Hearing to speak against the request ; that all 24 three .questions in the application for the conditional use 25 permit were answered in the affirmative ; and, that the mix of 26 amusement devices be approved by staff . 27 28 Some discussion continued regarding what constitutes kiddy • 29 amusement devices and rides . The Chairperson suggested that 30 there was possibly an " industry standard" which could be used 31 as a guide by the staff . 32 33 Roll call : Thompson , Franzese, Murphy, Werenicz, ,Madden, 34 Faust - aye 35 36 Gondorchin - nay 37 38 Motion carries 39 40 B. James Sarna and William Vogt (Stop-N-Shop Superette) , 41 3813 Stinson Boulevard, Sign Variance 42 43 The Public Hearing was opened at 8 : 15 p.m. 44 4-5 Chairperson Faust stated that .the purpose of the Public 46 Hearing was the consideration of the request for sign 47 variance from Mr. James Sarna and Mr. William Vogt , Stop- 48 N-Shop Superette,- Inc . , 1847 Johnson Street Northeast , 49 Minneapolis , for two gasol-ine brand signs on the canopy 50 - at 3813 Stinson Boulevard, which requires variances for 51 number of signs and location . 52 53 The notice of the Public Hearing appeared in the April 8 , • 54 1592 edition of the Bulletin . PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING APRIL 21 , 1992 PAGE 7 4 5 6 Management Assistant Urbia explained that a sign variance 7 had previously been approved for the applicants to have 8 a pylon sign with the Stop-N-Shop sign and gasoline brand 9 signs . Originally, the request was for two Phillips 66 10 signs ( 44" by 44" ) . The current request is for two Conoco 11 signs ( 2 ' by 6 ' ) to be placed on the north and south ends 12 of the canopy, on the side closest to the road.* 13 14 He advised that there is no provision in the Sign 15 Ordinance for the type of canopy sign that is being 16 requested . The Sign Ordinance defines a canopy as a 17 permanent roof structure attached to and supported by the 18 building. 19 20 Urbia also stated that the Sign Ordinance allows for a 21 pylon sign for a gas station to have brand identification 22 signs . If the Conoco signs were to be allowed on the 23 canopy, there would be no brand identification signs on 24 the pylon sign and the pylon sign would be nonconforming. 25 26 Originally , staff had determined this request could be approved administratively. It was later determined that 29 the request required a Public Hearing. 30 31 A letter was received from Mr . Sarna and Mr . Vogt giving 32 the history of why they had changed from Phillips 66 to 33 Conoco. A new policy at. Phillips 66 would not allow their 34 brand sign to be placed below that of the Stop-N-Shop 35 sign . Conoco has indicated they want their .brand sign 36 placed on the canopy and not on a pole. The proposed 37 Conoco sign would be smaller in size than the proposed 38 Phillips 66 sign. 39 40 A letter from Conoco to Mr. Vogt stated that Conoco brand 41 requirements mandate the installation of the Conoco 42 capsule sign on a canopy fascia. The policy does not 43 permit co-mingling of their trademark sign and any 44 proprietary sign on a shared basis . 45 46 Urbia noted a contradiction in the Conoco letter which 47 would not allow co-mingling on a canopy sign but would 48 allow accommodations for local signage codes whereby 49 pole-mounted capsule signs would be allowed over canopy 50 or building capsule signs . 51 The City Manager noted that the owners of the Stop-N-Shop had not completed the sign request application . 4 1 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING 2 APRIL 21 , 1992 3 PAGE 8 4 5 6 Madden inquired why the Public Hearing had been published 7 if these proceedings are not a legal Public Hearing. 8 9 The City Manager stated he felt this was a legal Public 10 Hearing and noted that the owners had been given over a 11 month to complete the application. He recal led that there 12 had been a very good relationship between the City and 13 the owners and proceeded on the basis that the legal 14 publication notice deadline be met to accommodate a 15 Public Hearing at tonight ' s Planning Commission Meeting. 16 17 The City Manager stated that originally staff had 18 considered an amendment but then realized that the sign 19 being considered was an entirely different type of sign 20 and would be non-conforming. He is concerned that if a 21 ; pylon sign without brand identification were allowed 22 there would be many more requests from local businesses 23 for similar. variances . 24 25 Faust stated that pylon signs are allowed only when the 26 gas brand is identified on them. 27 •28 Murphy observed that the Conoco specifications do not 29 exactly agree with the request . Urbia explained the 30 differences . Mr . Vogt noted that the canopy was 31 originally designed for Conoco . 32 33 Thompson thinks the City should be pleased to have this 34 business in the City and it would be a real asset . He 35 referred to other similar signs located at Don ' s Car 36 Wash, Pizza Hut and Firestone. It was Thompson ' s 37 observation that the other operations run by these two 38 owners had good prices and good products . 39 40 Faust felt the issue was not how good the businesses were 41 but rather how to deal with the sign problems. 42 43 Mr . Vogt advised that Phillips 66 previously had a policy 44 where they would co-mingle signs but the policy has 45 changed. He noted that his businesses have handled 46 Phillips 66 products for eight years at their other 47 outlets . Conoco wants their capsule sign on the top of 48 the gas pumps . He expressed concern that they may not be 49 able to secure a major gas company for their operation on 50 Stinson Boulevard. 51 52 Franzese inquired if any contracts had been signed with 53 Phillips 66 . Mr . Vogt responded there have been no • 54 _ contracts but he and his partner had presumed they would PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING APRIL 21 , 1992 PAGE 9 4 5 6 go ahead with that company. He advised that Phillips 66 7 is also requesting they remove their Stop-N-Shop signs at 8 their other two locations . 9 10 Urbia observed that if the Stop-N-Shop signs they may 11 have'a less difficult time getting the gas brand signs in 12 place on the canopy sign . This would result in no non- 13 conforming signs . 14 15 Werenicz felt removal of the Stop-N-Shop sign would 16 impact negatively in the visibility for the store which 17 was a major concern of the strip mall . Gondorchin also 18 felt this proposed removal would adversely affect the 19 marketing strategy. 20 21 Madden . recalled that the Standard Oil sign was not 22 approved to include "Food Shop" but this verbiage remains 23 as staff has not followed through to have it removed. 24 25 Gondorchin inquired what Mr . Vogt ' s preference would be 26 on the sign, to identify the business or the brand of gasoline . 29 Mr . Vogt responded that quite a sum of money has already 30 been spent to identify the Stop-N-Shop. Murphy inquired 31 if the partners would consider the option of having no 32 gas brand identified on the signs . Mr. Vogt felt gas 33 identification was necessary and very beneficial for the 34 credit card business . 35 36 Conoco will allow 120 days for the business to accept 37 Phillips 66 credit card charges . 38 39 Madden. felt this matter was at an impasse with the 40 present proposal . He suggested that staff and the owners 41 meet and try to work something acceptable out . He also 42 observed that there are already many signs at this 43 business in place . 44 45 Faust agreed there appeared to be an impasse and that the 46 Planning Commission is attempting to negotiate something 47 that ultimately could not be supported for approval as 48 there is no basis to approve. 49 50 The City Manager felt a change to the Sign Ordinance 51 could be a possible solution as the present draft does not address this situation . He noted that the City Attorney has been out of town., . but intends to discuss this matter with him. Burt felt there is no basis for a 1 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING 2 APRIL 21 , 1992 • 3 PAGE 10 4 5 6 hardship in the findings . 7 8 Franzese requested staff to contact other gas service 9 centers with pylon signs regarding the arrangements made 10 with their suppliers . 11 12 Burt noted there are no other operations similar to this 13 one in St . Anthony. 14 15 Thompson felt the location of this operation. requires 16 signage for visibility. 17 18 Gondorchin inquired if all of sign allowance funding had 19 been spent on the pylon sign . Mr . Vogt responded that all 20 that is remaining to be done are the footings and they 21 are not very costly . He also noted that .any oil suppliers 22 will bear the cost of a pylon . Franzese inquired if the 23 pylon signs presently in place could be used at any ;of 24 their other locations or be sold . Mr . Vogt felt this 25 would not be the case . 26 27 Faust stated that the pylon sign will remain only if • 28 there is a gasoline brand sign on it . 29 30 Burt stated that as the ordinance is written .staff has 31 come to its interpretation. If the Planning Commission 32 arrives at some Findings the request can be granted. 33 34 Murphy felt this decision would be based on a 35 "condition. " Werenicz felt this may not be workable as 36 the strip was not dependent on a gas station being 37 located in it . 38 39 Werenicz observed that - the - Planning Commission really 40 does not want to. be in the position of re-writing the 41 Sign Ordinance based on one situation . The pressure to 42 . approve a non-conforming sign is being brought by the 43 suppliers . 44 45 The Public. Hearing was closed at 8 : 41 p.m. 46 47 Faust requested that the t-hree conditions for granting a 48 variance be read. Urb i a read the three conditions for the 49 granting of a variance. They are as follows : 50 51 1 ) The granting of the variance will not be 52 detrimental to the public welfare or injurious • 53 to other property in the neighborhood or 54 village . 1 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING 0 APRIL 21 , 1992 PAGE 11 4 5 6 7 2 ) A particular hardship to the applicant would 8 result if the strict letter of the regulations 9 are adhered to. 10 11 3 ) The conditions upon which the application for 12 a variance is based are unique to the parcel 13 of land for which the variance is sought and 14 are not applicable, generally, to other 15 property within the same land-use 16 classification . 17 18 Madden felt the only action which could be taken by the 19 Planning Commission was to table the matter for thirty 20 days . 21 22 Faust felt the Planning Commission is in a position where 23 it could. not make a recommendation based on the three 24 conditions to the City Council . 25 26 Motion by Franzese, second by Werenicz to deny the request for a sign variance for the Stop-N-Shop because the request does not meet the three conditions necessary 2 for a variance . 30 31 Franzese expressed her regret at having to deny the 32 request , noting that it may meet two of the conditions 33 but not all three . 34 35 Murphy felt the situation was created by the oil 36 companies and not by the ordinance. Faust observed that 37 the request has not as yet been viewed by legal counsel 38 and after it is , the request may not have moved forward. 39 40 Madden felt tabling would have afforded staff and members 41 of the Planning Commission an opportunity to get 42 additional information. 43 44 Franzese observed - that- the City Council functions 45 independently and if the request were tabled it could 46 have been two months before it was reviewed. 47 48 Roll call : Franzese, Gondorchin, Murphy, Werenicz, 49 Madden, Faust - aye 50 51 Thompson - nay 52 The Chairperson felt it was painful for the members of the Planning Commission to deny this request but the 1 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING 2 APRIL 21 , 1992 • 3 PAGE 12 4 5 6 Commission is bound by rules and guidelines to which it 7 must adher . 8 9 6 . MISCELLANEOUS 10 11 A. Concept Review - St . Anthony Dry Cleaners , 3005 37th 12 Avenue Northeast 13 14 The site at 3005 37th Avenue Northeast was recently 15 purchased by Mr. Yash Patel . He plans to open a dry 16 cleaning service at this site. Mr . Patel is proposing to 17 have a drive through service at the current site. 18 19 As the site is presently situated, the proposed drive 20 through is not a viable proposal . Staff has met with Mr. 21 Patel to discuss solutions for the proposed drive through 22 concept . These solutions would address staff concerns 23 regarding parking requirements and traffic flow. 24 25 Urbia advised the following solutions have been proposed 26 to Mr. Patel : 27 •28 1 ) The back of the lot be filled in 29 30 2 ) Obtain an easement or ownership to approximately 31 six feet of Rapid Oil Changes ' property 32 33 3 ) Move an utility pole 34 35 4 ) Provide parking in the rear portion of the 36 building which would require this area be filled in 37 38 Urbia noted that out of courtesy. to Mr. Patel this 39 request was brought to the Planning Commission. Staff 40 felt this could be a dryc.leaning business but not with 41 drive through services . 42 43 Burt advised that the "grandfathered" parking privileges 44 of the previous business no longer apply. Faust also 45 observed that some accommodations must be considered for 46 employee parking. 4.7 48 Burt stated that the newly-installed overhead door 49 already has eliminated two parking spaces . 50 51 Murphy inquired if the building were torn down would 52 there be enough property to include a drive through on a 5.3 new building. Burt felt this was a possiblity, -but . 54 observed that Mr. Patel probably does not have enough 1 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING APRIL 21 , 1992 .40 PAGE 13 4 5 6 capitol for a venture of this kind as he has already 7 purchase the building and done some remodelling. 8 9 Franzese felt staff should make recommendations to Mr . 10 Patel for some other site in the City . Burt advised he 11 has already purchased this site and building as well as 12 installed some drycleaning equipment . 13 14 Franzese suggested the service could address patron 15 comfort by " taking out" the product rather than having a 16 drive through . Burt said he will pass this suggestion on 17 to Mr . Patel , but a parking variance may be needed to 18 accomplish this type of service. 19 20 B. Review of Proposed Revisions to Parkina Ordinance 21 22 Residents have been calling City Hall to express their 23 concern with the parking of recreational vehicles and 24 . equipment in the yards of their owners . By some, these 25 have been considered visual pollution and invasions of 26 the aesthetic appearance of the City. In response to these concerns , staff has driven 9 throughout the City videotaping some of the situations 30 where this type of problem exists . 31 32 Burt noted that some of the problems have developed from 33 the ordinance requirement to have these vehicles and 34 equipment parked on a paved surface. Many of these items 35 were parked on the back of the lot or in the back yard 36 but were not on a paved surface. Recreational vehicles, 37 mobile homes , boats and wood piles are some of the 38 examples which were videotaped. 39 40 Also, some of these vehicles are parked in the right-of- 41 way. The City Council has requested staff to develop a 42 recommendation to alleviate these perceived nuisances . 43 44 Burt read the staff recommendation , which is as follows: 45 "No commercial , recreational vehicles , recreational 46 trailers , watercraft or utility trailers will be 47 permitted to be parked in front of the front yard in any 48 R-1 , R-lA, R-2 , or R-3 district for more than any forty- 49 eight hour period . 50 51 The City Manager stated the City Council wants feedback 52 from the Planning Commission on this matter . Franzese inquired if the reason behind the parking 1 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING 2 APRIL 21 , 1992 • 3 PAGE 14 4 5 6 prohibition was because of clutter , safety hazards , etc . 7 8 The City Manager responded that some felt the City is 9 beginning to have a "cluttered" appearance. 10 11 Gondorchin noted he has never been bothered with the 12 parking of recreational vehicles in his neighbor 's back 13 yard but another neighbor has . He questioned what the 14 criteria might be for determining what vehicles would be 15 addressed with this ordinance revision . Burt noted that 16 height and weight had been considered as criteria. 17 18 Franzese felt this ordinance revision is trying to 19 pinpoint some specific matters , yet is using a 20 "broadbrush" approach and has a very narrow approach. 21 She felt it may be difficult to enforce. 22 23 Madden is of the opinion that large boats and 24 recreational vehicles parked in front yards are very 25 ugly. He felt there is some very affordable storage space 26 available and is supportive of the ordinance revision. 27 28 Burt will pursue the "weight " criteria with the Police • 29 Chief . 30 31 Faust noted that a forty-eight hour limit could not apply 32 on a long weekend. 33 34 The Public Works Director sent out forty violation 35 letters on parking violations recently. These violations 36 were noted in a very small area of the City so the 37 practice appears to be widespread. 38 39 Werenicz inquired when a citation is actually issued. 40 Burt gave the timeframe for violations . First a letter is 41 sent to the owner advising him of the violation and ten 42 days is given to contact the City and to comply. If there 43 is no response in ten days , a second letter is sent to 44 the violator and if there is no acknowledgement , then a 45 citation is written. The whole process takes about forty- 46 five days . 47 48 Werenicz stated his- support for more active enforcement 49 of the ordinance. 50 51 Franzese felt the issue of safety, especially for 52 children, should be a consideration . 53 54 1 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING is APRIL 21 , 1992 PAGE 15 4 5 6 Murphy inquired if staff has contacted other cities with 7 regard to their ordinances for parking of recreational 8 vehicles and equipment . Burt responded some cities have 9 a prohibition of parking of commercial vehicles in 10 residential areas . 11 12 Gondorchin felt the length criteria. would be more 13 effective to write the ordinance revision on . He thinks 14 the larger units are more irritating. 15 16 Werenicz suggested that the Police Department be made 17 aware of some of the community concerns in this matter 18 and to concentrate on enforcement . Burt noted that if the 19 Police Department were responsible for enforcement there 20 would be the added dimension of better record keeping. 21 22 C . Review of Proposed Revisions to Sian Ordinance 23 24 The proposed revisions to the Sign - Ordinance were 25 distributed at the Planning Commission Meet.ing. 26 7 The proposed revisions were briefly scanned by members of the Commission . The document had not been proofread and there were some paragraphs left out . 30 31 Burt noted that the.Management Assistant had added to or 32 redefined some of the language of the current Sign 33 Ordinance rather than that drafting an entire new 34 ordinance . He felt the Commission members should be aware 35 that the City is expecting some sign requests which may 36 not have been made in the past . Some examples are for the 37 CUB Store if the project goes ahead, a movie theater and 38 monument signs . 39 40 Urbia recommended that a subcommittee be formed from 41 among members of the Planning Commission, representatives 42 of the St . Anthony Chamber of Commerce, business people 43 in the City, and representatives -of the two shopping 44 malls in the City. He suggested this subcommittee plan to 45 meet in the next couple of weeks . 46 47 Faust inquired what regulations would have to be 48 considered regarding this subcommittee to be in 49 compliance with the Open Meeting Law. It was determined 50 that it could be served by two or three members of the 51 Planning Commission . Burt advised that the subcommittee 52 meetings will be posted in compliance with the Open Meeting Law. I PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING 2 APRIL 21 , 1992 3 PAGE 16 4 5 6 Faust polled the Planning Commission members and it was 7 unanimous to support the forming of a subcommittee to 8 review the sign ordinance revisions as presented by 9 staff . 10 1T Franzese inquired what the process would be for the 12 recommendations and comments which will be forthcoming 13 from the subcommittee . Burt responded this information 14 will go to the Planning Commission who will then hold a 15 public hearing on the matter . 16 17 Franzese and Faust indicated an interest on serving on 18 the subcommittee and will set up meeting dates for about 19 three meetings . It was recommended that Councilmember 20 Wagner also serve on the subcommittee . 21 22 Faust requested input from all of the Planning Commission 23 members regarding the sign ordinance revisions . 24 25 There is a joint meeting scheduled between the City 26 Council and the Planning Commission for 7 : 00 p.m. on May 27 19th . 28 29 D. Update on South End Study 30 31 The BRW consulting firm presented three concepts to the 32 South End Task Force . 33 34 The City Manager advised that the original purpose in 35 placing a development moratorium on the south end of the 36 City was to discuss the land use plan and the traffic 37 patterns . 38 39 He noted that all three plans presented by BRW have the 40 same street alignments . The Council is considering 41 extending the Tax Increment Financing District to include 42 this area. 43 44 The City Manager reviewed all three plans presented by 45 the consulting firm and the fourth plan as formulated by 46 the South End Task Force. 47 48 Miles Lindberg, a consultant with BRW, will be attending 49 the May Planning Commission meeting to discuss his firm' s 50 concepts regarding the South End . 51 52 Gondorchin inquired if the City Manager had a priority 53 list would he be including this development of the -South 54 End . The City Manager responded he most likely .would be 1 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING 40 APRIL 21 , 1992 PAGE 17 4 5 6 focusing on the environmental issues regarding Silver 7 Lake . 8 9 E. Review Housina Maintenance Ordinance 10 11 Urbia advised that this version of the Housing 12 Maintenance Ordinance includes the recommended changes 13 requested by the Planning Commission . He noted that the . 14 "Truth In Housing" section has been removed as it cannot 15 be enforced . 16 17 Some discussion followed regarding errors which are in 18 the draft and some paragraphs which were omitted. 19 20 Commissioners Gondorchin and Madden felt they needed 21 additional time for review of the draft ordinance. 22 23 Urbia stated that the goal of the City Council is to hold 24 a public hearing on the ordinance in September. 25 26 Faust requested that copies of the corrected draft are 7 sent to members of the Planning Commission. 30 7 . STAFF UPDATE 31 32 Apache Plaza 33 34 The City Manager met with representatives of Super Value last 35 week. He felt the article which appeared in the Bulletin 36 erroneously reported the situation as to the delay in the CUB 37 decision. The article made it appear as though the City is 38 causing the delay. 39 40 Super Value representatives were upset by the article but have 41 found out why the incorrect information was printed. 42 43 . The City Manager noted that Dennis Cavanaugh has not been 44 cooperative with Super Value and has changed both of the 45 proposals received. for the CUB Store. The City Manager felt 46 this proposed store is the last hope for Apache Plaza. 47 48 Demographics in the St . Anthony area were supportive of this 49 store. If Super Value were to put a CUB store at both Apache 50 Plaza and at 18th and Central Avenues , both of the stores 51 would be smaller . If only one CUB store were built , and it was 52 located at Apache Plaza , it would be larger . I PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING 2 APRIL 21 , 1992 3 PAGE 18 4 5 6 Pirino Property 7 8 The City Manager contacted the attorney handling the Pirino 9 case for the City ' s insurance company. - The attorney stated he 10 had thought the case had been closed . The judge had ruled that 11 Pirino could build the garage on the front portion of his lot . 12 13 Pirino has not begun building the garage and the permit has 14 expired. 15 16 Staff inspected the, exterior of the property and found twenty- 17 six violations . Pirino must submit plans for the property and 18 pay for permits . A home which has been moved into the City 19 must also be inspected inside. This has not been done yet . 20 21 The City Manager stated that a letter was received from Pirino 22 today. The City ' s response letter will state the time 23 deadlines for doing the work . If these deadlines are not met , 24 tags :will: be issued for the violations . 25 26 8 . COMMISSIONERS ' COMMENTS 27 28 Faust thanked staff for the activities calendar . 29 30 Madden inquired if there is a report on the St . Anthony Self 31 Storage issue yet . He was advised that this has not been done . 32 The City Manager observed that the owners fo this building 33 appear to be waiting until the sign ordinance is completed. 34 Faust suggested that Madden bring this matter up at the next 35 Council Meeting. 36 37 The City Manager stated he will bring the matter up at the 38 next Council Meeting.

BACKGROUND A sign variance has been previously approved for the applicants to have a pylon sign • with the Stop -N- Shop sign and gasoline brand signs. Originally, the request was for two Phillips 66 signs (44" by 44"). The current request is for two Conoco signs (2' by 6') to be placed on the north and south ends of the canopy, on the side closest to the road. In the Sign Ordinance, 430.15, Subd. 5, a canopy is defined as a permanent roof structure attached to and supported by the building. There is no provision for a canopy sign that is being requested. In addition, Section 430.40, Subd. 9(b)(2) of the Sign Ordinance allows for a pylon sign for a gas station to have brand identification signs. If the Conoco signs were to be allowed upon the canopy, there would be no brand identification signs on the pylon sign, hence the pylon sign would be nonconforming. RECOMMENDATION The application does not meet the three conditions. Further, it is a sea change in direction from the variance allowed only a few months previous. • Instant Cash 24 Hours 3 NORTHEAST LOCATIONS 1847 JOHNSON STREET NE MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 55418 • 6121789-0105 City of St. Anthony St. Anthony, Minnesota We originally came before the St. Anthony City Council , and received approval for Stop-N-Shop Superette to have a Phillips 66 sign placed below our sign located on the pole. At the time we came before the Council we didn't know there would be a problem with Phillip 66, as we already have there sign placed on our pole at our other locations. When we got back to Phillip 66, we were advised that they no longer agreed to having their sign placed below ours due to a new policy. We have now approached Conoco Oil Company, since it was originally a Conoco Station. Conoco has stated that they are interested in having • their brand sign placed on our canopy and. not on the pole. The square footage of their sign would be smaller than the proposed Phillipp 66 sign would have been. . We are therefore requesting a variance to have the Conoco Logo sign placed on our canopy. Would you please review our request and advise us accordingly. Respectfully, ames Sarna William Vogt • CITY OF ST. ANTHONY NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING SIGN VARIANCE , .

I think that this can be handled in a way that still allows some freedom of choice to area residents. We presently have at least 3 haulers on our short street, each using 2 trucks to pick up trash and recyclables. Why not write a contract that allows only one hauler, specifies the recyclable products to be picked up and has the hauler bill each homeowner directly. That way each resident can use multiple containers, get senior discounts, or have no pick up at all. The rates could be set for a 2 or 3 year contract with cost of landfill dumping increases allowed in the contract. I would be available to help with drafting such a contract if you need a volunteer. Silver Lake Road Sidewalks - I would like to have the Village finish the Silver Lake Road sidewalks. Several blocks are missing on the east side of the road. There is one block of walk missing on the east side of the road, south of 33rd Avenue. Now that homes are on this block, it is timely to complete these walks. I use the Silver Lake walks at least twice a week and am pleased that they are available as Silver Lake Road is too busy to use without the walks. The land elevation between Hilldale and 33rd Is different than most of the walks completed earlier but this should not prevent an attractive, maintainable, satisfactory walk on that block. The walk on the east side between 29th and St. Anthony Boulevard should also be completed. This should be easy as It is all flat land without tree Interference. The walks from the tennis courts to 37th also would be desirable. If I can be of help in effecting these changes, I would be happy to assist. Thanks for considering these- items.

Burt, City Manager ITEM: PARKING PROBLEM --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BACKGROUND: This spring we have received several complaints on parking. As we responded to these complaints, some frustration and anger by our residents has become evident. One case that is unique is at 2424 27th Avenue. At this site the owner of the property is not able to park in front of her home. Due to the "T" intersection and the crosswalks at this location, no parking is permitted 30 feet on either side of the stop sign and crosswalk. The resident at this address (Janice Winter) has parked in front of her home for several years. In September, 1991, the City received a complaint and issued her a ticket for parking illegally. Since she does not want to get another ticket, she is asking staff where she and guests can park. Her driveway off the alley is very small and only able to fit one car. She prefers parking on the street for convenience since it is closer to her home than the garage off the alley. She is also concerned for her personal safety since she works evening hours. This is a difficult situation with no easy answer. To make it legal for her to park in front of her home the stop signs and crosswalks would have to be removed. The resident is a not financially able to build a larger driveway off the alley and it is only a matter of time before her neighbors get upset with her car in front of their home. � d 9 r T (44) V V W A $ PAHL to (I) 60 60 (45) 60 60 (46) Z C;• ;� tz tt 21 s to 5t 19 to C) � C) — (66) (65) — (64) — (63) — — 't Z (76) (47) ,..� N 60 60 60 60 60 60 60 60 60 w 60 (4) R 7.5 S \\ L J (5) Cco3Sc��k..5 .

First Reading: April 14, 1992 Second Reading: April 28 , 1992 Adopted: May 12, 1992 Mayor ATTEST: City Clerk Published: St. Anthony Bulletin 1992 Barr Engineering Company 8300 Norman Center Drive Minneapolis,MN 55437-1026 Phone: (612)832-2600 Fax: (612)835-0186 April 28, 1992 Mr. Thomas Burt City Manager City of St. Anthony 3301 Silver Lake Road St. Anthony, Minnesota 55418 Dear Mr. Burt: This letter will provide clarification regarding the work tasks in my April 22 proposal for analyzing the County Road E drainage system. As a part of the work task labeled "System Study" in my April 22 proposal, I intend to assume that ponding will occur within New Brighton (as proposed on the grading plan for the Wexford Heights development) and that ponding will • occur within the Salvation Army camp near the intersection of Silver Lake Road and County Road E for water quality reasons and control of peak flow. The work will include sufficient analysis to determine the incremental impact of this development on the flood levels and outlet for Silver Lake. Since the Wexford Heights area already contributes runoff to Silver Lake and the Salvation Army camp, I expect that the incremental difference associated with this development will probably not be noticeable at Silver Lake. However, it will, be important to evaluate ponding within the Salvation Army camp to assure that the system has no impact on the operation of the lake's outlet and the -stormsewer for the proposed upgrading of Silver Lake Road. . However, the work proposed in my April 22 letter does not include analysis of options for drainage of Silver Lake Road. If you have any questions please contact me. Sincerely, Dennis E. Palmer DEP:dsd 00\03\092\TB2.LTR Barr Engineering Company 8300 Norman Center Drive Minneapolis,MN 55437-1026 Phone: (612)832-2600 Fax: (612)835-0186 April 22, 19 9 2 Mr. Thomas Burt City Manager City of St. Anthony 3301 Silver Lake Road St. Anthony, Minnesota 55418 Dear Mr. Burt: This letter will present our proposal for performing an analysis of the drainage system tributary to the ponds in the northeast corner of the Salvation Army camp, in the northern portion of the City. The goal of the study is to recommend the most cost effective drainage system for the area, considering conveyance needs, right-of-way and property concerns, and future runoff treatment systems. I. anticipate the following tasks will be necessary to perform the work: Data Review. During this task Barr will meet with representatives of the communities and agencies that may have an interest in the configuration and cost sharing recommendations of the report. This would include St. Anthony, Columbia Heights, New Brighton, Anoka County and Ramsey County. We would also meet with representatives of Short Elliot Hendrickson (SEH) to go over the recommendations which that firm presented in their August 25, 1983 report to the City. Available information will also be obtained from the Rice Creek Watershed District. This task is expected to account for approximately 30 percent of the work effort. Treatment Options Assessment. During this task, the use of the existing ponds as treatment basins -to protect the water quality of Silver Lake will be considered. Optional configurations to adapt the ponds for this purpose will be considered since the ideal pond configuration may have an impact on the options for configuration of the conveyance system.. This task will account for about 5 percent of the required work effort. System Study. Barr will perform a limited preliminary design of optional configurations for the conveyance system to drain the watershed, the tributary to County Road E west of Silver Lake Road. Two configurations will be considered, one in County Road E and one within the Salvation Army camp area. Sufficient analysis will be performed to permit the preparation of a preliminary cost estimate to • allow comparison of the two systems. Approximately 35 percent of the work effort is required. for this task. Mr. Thomas Burt April 22, 1992 Page 2 • Cost Sharing Formula. Barr will suggest a formula for the allocation for the costs for the recommended system and explain the basis for the suggested allocations. The formula will consider design factors such as contribution to flow and watershed area, as well as factors such as special benefits which might be associated with each configuration. This task amounts to about 15 percent of the work effort. • Report/Administration. A report will be prepared which summarizes the analysis and the recommendations for consideration by affected cities and agencies. This task accounts for approximately 15 percent of the work effort. Barr proposed to perform the work on a time and expenses basis with a cost not to exceed $3,700. Time would be billed in accordance with our current fee schedule, a copy of which is attached. Expenses would be billed at cost. The cost of the study would ultimately be shared between the affected parties in the same proportion as construction. In the meantime, you may wish to consider cost sharing for the study by St. Anthony, New Brighton, Ramsey County, and possibly the developer of Wexford Heights. We are prepared to begin this work immediately and finish within 30 days . of being directed to proceed. If this proposal meets with your approval, please countersign a copy and return it to me. Please contact me with any questions you may have. Sincerely, ennis UE Palmer Vice President Accepted this day of 1992 City of St. Anthony by DEP/lah cc: Les Proper, City of New Brighton James J.
