36 A. Petition Relating to the Location of the New Fire Station.
3.7 Mayor Hodson recognized those in attendance. He reviewed how a study was undertaken on the
38 facility for the Fire Station and the Needs Assessment that was done in 1999. The Study Group
39 was formed in August of 2002 and met approximately ten times and held several open houses.
40 In addition, the City sent out newsletters and the final newsletter identified the cost per
41 homeowner.
42
43 Mayor Hodson stated tonight there is not a formal process but he would like to call on the
44 spokesperson for those presenting the petition so statements can be taken. After that,Paul
45 Archambault, Chair of the Study Group, is in attendance to provide input, followed by others
46 who would like to provide input to the Council. Mayor Hodson reviewed the process that would

3 Tom Lindgren, 2804 West Armor Terrace, thanked the Mayor and Councilmembers for the
4 opportunity to appear before the Council and present a petition asking the St. Anthony Village
5 City Council to reconsider the decision to locate a new fire station in the 3500 block of Silver
6 Lake Road. The petition is signed by 1,100 adult residents of St. Anthony Village,who strongly
7 believe this is not a suitable location for a fire station. The number of petition signatures is one
8 of the highest in the history of the City and attests to the broad extent of the request to
9 reconsider. Every part of the City's residential sector is represented by these signatures and
10 additional signatures continue to be collected. Mr. Lindgren read the following statement:
11
12 "Since bids for construction of the fire station were rejected by the City Council last fall because
13 they were over budget, and because a new bidding process has not been completed,the
14 petitioners believe there is time to reconsider. Unfortunately, some expenditures have been
15 made to purchase and clear the land, but actual construction of the fire station has not started and
16 at the December 8 City Council meeting it was indicated that reconsideration was still possible.
17
18 What has happened during the past several months is that the petitioners have come to realize the
19 Silver Lake Road site was a poor selection for a fire station and do not want to live with it at that
20 location for the next 50 years. Fire Department response time and service from the temporary
21 location remain excellent and as long as there is still time to make a change, the petitioners want
22 the City Council to find a different permanent location for a fire station.
23
24 The petitioners are not misled and do not misunderstand. They know where the fire station site
25 is and they oppose locating the fire station in a R-1 zoned single family residential
26 neighborhood, especially when alternate sites are available in areas zoned for commercial and
27 industrial use. A fire station,with its heavy trucks, inherent engine noise and loud sirens,
28 itinerant personnel and 24 hour a day operation is obviously more compatible with commercial
29 or industrial zoning than single family residential zones.
30
31 In adoption a municipal zoning code,the City of St. Anthony took on a strong and preserving
32 obligation to protect single family residential neighborhoods from commercial activities and
33 other unnecessary intrusions. The idea of course, is that homeowners have a right to peace and
34 quiet and preservation of their home values. Over the years our city councils have done a
35 commendable job of maintaining the sanctity of St. Anthony's R-1 single family residential
36 zones. The petitioners believe this admirable practice,which has helped to make St. Anthony
37 Village a very desirable place to live for generations, should be upheld to the fullest extent
38 possible.
39
40 Specifically, the St. Anthony Village City Code, Chapter 16, Section 1615, defines the purpose
41 of an R-1 Single-Family District as follows: "The purpose of the R-1 District is to create and
42 maintain areas which due to the natural amenities of the land, low traffic volumes, and historical
43 development patterns are best suited for single-family detached residences." The official St.
44 Anthony Village zoning map places virtually the entire central part of the City in an R-1 Single
45 Family District. It is hard to understand and appreciate why the City Council would have
46 accepted a recommendation to locate the fire station on a hill right in the middle of an R-1
04

3 To further show the importance of protecting R-1 residential property, Section 1615 of the City
4 Code does not permit a fire station within an R-1 District. It permits only the following: a)
5 single family detached dwellings,b)public or parochial schools, c)publicly owned recreational
6 facilities including parks, playgrounds, swimming pools and athletic fields, and d) certain state
7 licensed facilities permitted under Minnesota Statutes, Section 462.357.
8
9 Section 1615 goes on to state that a fire station(also police stations, essential service structures
10 and religious buildings) is permitted within an R-1 District only if a conditional use permit has
11 been issued for that use by the City Council. The framers of the St. Anthony City Code wanted
12 the City Council to take an extra hard look at fire stations before permitting them to intrude into
13 R-1 residential property. There is no evidence that before granting a conditional use permit the
14 Council took that extra step by scrutinizing available sites, or even requested for example,
15 professional traffic or response time studies that would support the Silver Lake Road site
16 recommendation it received from the Public Facilities Study Group that consisted of City
17 residents.
18
19 According to the June 2003 Public Facilities Study Newsletter, the recommended fire station site
20 at 3501/05 Silver Lake Road had the following advantages:
21
22 1. Central location provides.the best community response times for the Fire Department
23 2. Location adjacent to City Hall connects to other City functions.
24 3. Land is immediately available.
25 4. Allows Fire Department to consolidate operations at one central location.
26 5. • Meets Fire Department needs for the next 50 years.
27
28 With respect to response times, there has been no technical analysis or other persuasive evidence
29 presented to show that response time from a central fire station location in a residential area of
30 St. Anthony Village is substantially better than the response time from a non-residential location.
31 For almost 50 years the City has provided excellent to superior fire department response times
32 from the old fire station in the commercial zone on Kenzie Terrace. From the Kenzie location
33 on the south side of the City, the Fire Department has protected Apache Plaza since the 1960s
34 when it was at its zenith; also the Apache Medical Center, the residents living on Silver Lake-
35 and the users of the Salvation Army Camp, as well as all R-1 zone residents. All these years,
36 response times have not been a problem, and there has been no evidence a dramatic change in
37 recent response requirements makes it necessary to move the fire station into the residential
38 setting. But the skill and dedication of the St. Anthony Fire Department is appreciated by all.
39
40 On the second advantage, for the past quarter century the fire station has been at a separate
41 location from City Hall without noticeable impact on Fire Department operational effectiveness.
42 There has been no evidence of recent or future problems introduced demonstrating that the fire
43 station needs to be adjacent to City Hall at the expense of intrusion into an R-1 residential zone.
44
45 The third advantage was the immediate availability of land for the Silver Lake Road site,which
46 was immediately available at a price of$500,000. One can imagine that for$500,000 a lot of
05
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
January 6,2004
Page 5
1 property is immediately available in St. Anthony Village including commercial property. Passed
2 over was the property the taxpayers of St. Anthony Village already owned, such as the Public
3 Works site and the old Custom Liquidators (bowling alley) site located half a block south of the
4 old fire station on Kenzie Terrace. Not only was the City Council willing to pay$500,000 for
5 the Silver Lake Road site, it also took this site from the tax rolls.
6
7 Consolidation of fire operations at one central location was stated as another advantage of the
8 Silver Lake Road site. That is, the Fire Department kept one fire truck at the Public Works
9 facility because the old fire station was too small to house all the fire apparatus. The new fire
10 station design would be large•enough to house all the Fire Department apparatus, regardless of
11 whether it would be located in a residential or commercial zone. The need to consolidate fire
12 operations at a central location at the expense of residential property values remains to be
13 demonstrated as a significant advantage to the,community.
14
15 Reinforcing the critical nature of the site selection decision,the last advantage was that the new
16 fire station building will be located on Silver Lake Road, in the middle of an R-1 Single-Family
17 District, for the next 50 years. The petitioners do not see that as an advantage. In fact,the
18 petitioners do riot find in any of these cited `advantages' a valid reason to locate a fire station in
19 an R-1 Single-Family Residential District.
20
21 The decision by the City Council to grant a conditional use permit for a fire station at 3501/05
22 Silver Lake Road already has had devastating effects on families and homeowners in the
23 immediate vicinity, and it may be instructive for the City Council to understand these
24 unfortunate results which are all to apparent to the petitioners.
25
26 Ms. Helen Paulno, who lives at 3507 Silver Lake Road, immediately north of the fire station site
27 had plans to move to northern Minnesota and put her home up for sale last summer,but there are
28 no-buyers. She says that when prospective buyers learn the City Council decided to build a fire
29 station next door, they walk away. A view of her home and the fire station site illustrates the
30 problem she faces. (Mr. Lindgren displayed a picture of Ms. Paulno.)
31
32 Across the street, Tim and Shannon Madden invested in a nice home at 3508 Silver Lake Road
33 that was built in 1989, thinking it would be a desirable place to raise their new baby, Cosette.
34 (Mr. Lindgren displayed a picture of the Madden family and asked Tim and Shannon to stand in
35 the audience.) They never dreamed the City Council would decide to build a fire station right
36 across the street, and when this happened last summer they immediately decided to move out,
37 although they had no prior plans to relocate. They had their home listed for an appraised price,
38 but the bids from prospective buyers have been substantially lower, meaning they have lost not
39 only their peaceful home setting but their home investment, as well.
40
41 The home owners at 3516 Silver Lake Road, Darrel and Vicky Chilstrom, feel their property
42 value has been diminished because of the fire station location and are unhappy, as are other
43 property owners in the immediate vicinity who also fear that fire truck noise will invade their
44 right to privacy and who face lower property values. (Mr. Lindgren displayed a picture of the
45 Chilstroms.) They wonder if the City Council ever considered the disadvantages of locating a
46 fire station in an R-1 residential area when it was considering the advantages.

Page 6
1 In addition to the ill-advised decision to locate a fire station in a R-1 residential zone, there is a
2 second serious issue that bothers many petitioners, and which the City Council has not
3 addressed. This is their concern about traffic safety on Silver Lake Road in the vicinity of the
4 fire station location. It is a concern about what traffic safety engineers call the vertical curve site
5 problem and traffic flow that has been expressed since the Silver Lake Road site was first
6 mentioned as a candidate location, and which has been repeatedly dismissed without the benefit
7 of any serious or professional traffic safety analysis. (Mr. Lindgren displayed a picture of the
8 site.) When Paul Archambault, chair of the Public Facilities Study Group, presented the Silver
9 Lake Road site recommendation to the City Council on May 13, 2003,he addressed this concern
10 at that time. He said he had stepped out onto Silver Lake Road in front of the fire station site
11 and done an eyeball survey,but didn't see any problem. The Study Group had no obligation to
12 do any more than that; however, the City did have a duty to follow up with a professional traffic
13 safety evaluation because of public concern.
14
15 The fact is that Silver Lake Road is a County-State Aid Road and there are certain protocols for
16 municipalities to follow in such cases as this where traffic safety may be a problem. An expert
17 engineering study of the relevant issues is appropriate, and the Hennepin County Highway
18 Department can provide such professional service to municipalities upon request. The County
19 and the State Department of Transportation take matters such as this very seriously because of
20 past instances of injury or death to fire fighters and others as a result of inappropriately located
21 fire stations. Without an obligatory traffic safety report in hand before making its decision to
22 authorize a fire station at the site on Silver Lake Road, the City Council did not assure itself or
23 the residents of St. Anthony Village that this is a safe location. The petitioners continue to
24 believe this is not a safe location.
25
26 In summary, this is the eleventh hour. Admittedly, it is late in the site selection process, a
27 process in which zoning and traffic safety issues received inadequate consideration, especially
28 by the City Council. But it is not too late to address this shortcoming. Through this petition,
29 more than one thousand voices are calling out to you, the voices of those who elected you to
30 represent them, asking you to listen and to change course before it is too late. Specifically,the
31 City Council is being asked to stop all work on the fire station site at 3501/05 Silver Lake Road,
32 reopen the site selection process, conduct appropriate public hearings, and conduct a
33 professional engineering study of relevant site traffic safety issues.
34
35 This petition is about protecting residential property rights, our quality of life and safety. These
36 values are our biggest assets. They are fundamental to raising our families and help us find rest
37 from the challenges of daily life. For most of us, our homestead is our castle, our safety, our
38 peace and quiet. We don't want these values to be lost for the next 50 years, and we sincerely
39 ask your help in protecting the residential integrity of St. Anthony Village."
40
41 Mr. Lindgren presented copies of the petition of 1,100 signatures to the Mayor and City Council.
42
43 Paul Archambault, Chair of the Public Facilities Study Group, stated he was asked to speak
44 tonight on behalf of the task force he chaired for nine months and to explain the process for
45 arriving at the site they recommended above other sites they studied.
46
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes 07
January 6, 2004
Page 7
1 Mr. Archambault stated this has been covered extensively at open houses and other presentations
2 before the City Council. He thanked the petition committee for raising the issues and their effort
3 put forth over the holidays. He stated that is a commendable thing and he wished they had that
4 enthusiasm and knowledge to assist them while on the task force.
5
6 Mr. Archambault explained that the Study Group started out with a clean.slate and no idea if
7 they should even have a fire station or where it should be put. The Study Group was comprised
8 of 19 common citizens with different areas of expertise and the ability to ask consultants on
9 financial, safety, and construction matters. Those resources were at their disposal.
10
11 Mr. Archambault stated that when you get 19 people with infinite possibilities before them, they
12 need a process to make a recommendation. The Study Group looked at remodeling the exiting
13 location and at every open property available at that time. The temporary.site was not
14 considered since it was not available at that time. Mr. Archambault stated that through the
15 process, he was impressed with City staff, the City Council, and the people on the Study Group
16 who were sincere to find the correct answer to a problem with multiple variables. Mr.
17 Archambault stated the Study Group drilled the City staff to justify space needs, explain needs,
18 and justify their recommendation. The Group spent hundreds of hours exploring these issues.
19
20 Mr. Archambault noted that one thing that gets lost to most of us is the dedication and truly good
21 intentions and studiousness of people on the City Council. He stated he has been nothing but
22 impressed in public and private conversation with what they do. Mr. Archambault suggested
23 that many do not realize the hundreds of hours the City Council puts in on our behalf for a very
24 small stipend and also the time they take away from full-time jobs. He emphasized that the City
25 Council is comprised of very dedicated people who deserve our thanks.
26
27 Mr. Archambault stated the central location was key because in talking with fire fighters, they
28 expressed the desire to not only maintain the average response time, including people who walk
29 in with a medical emergency, to other areas and calls. As the Northwest Quadrant is developed,
30 response times to that area will become very important, especially since it will contain senior
31 housing. The farther the location of the fire station is from the core, the longer the response
32 times will be. To look at the best location for the next 50 years, it was determined that a central
33 location was critical according to the professionals that were consulted.
34
35 Mr. Archambault noted that if you have an event like a medical emergency, every second does
36 count. If the response is beyond four minutes,people begin to lose brain function. Mr.
37 Archambault noted that if the fire station is located in the southeast location, it is a six-minute
38 call to Apache Medical plus the time to get into the site and begin to administer CPR or other
39 medical attention. That did drive the central location decision.
40
41 Mr. Archambault advised that the Study Group also looked at the impact of the fire station on
42 the immediate neighborhood. They found that of all the sites studied, and every site was studied,
43 if you draw a 500-foot radius circle around the site, only one site had fewer residences than the
44 site selected. That was the former site being considered for redevelopment. He explained that
45 the bowling alley site had over 200 residents within a 500-foot radius. Some are rentals and
46 apartments but those uses also impact property values. He stated if looking at residents of the
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes 08
January 6, 2004
Page 8
1 Village, you need to look at all of them and not just those who own the most expensive homes.
2
3 Mr. Archambault stated the Study Group looked at traffic patterns and found that 63%of the fire
4 calls are north of 33rd Avenue. That leads you to believe a site north of 33rd Avenue is more
5 reasonable if looking for shorter response times. He noted that every person that lives on Silver
6 Lake Road is impacted by each call that goes north of Kenzie Terrace and asked if that is fair.
7 They are all impacted by that traffic noise. With the selected site, the residences are only
8 impacted if calls are going north or south, but not all of the calls. When you look at impact, it is
9 not just the impact to those adjacent to the fire station. Mr. Archambault stated he lived within
10 the radius circle and has been able to see the front doors.of the fire station for 23 years. He
11 explained that he was only awaken twice by a fire truck leaving in the night. On quality of life
12 and using his yard and property, he looked at his own neighborhood. Several of his neighbors
13 have added onto their houses and purchased knowing the fire station was located there. With that
14 in mind, he has found more irritation with a neighbor running their lawn mower than two
15 seconds of sound from a truck leaving the fire station.
16
17 Mr. Archambault advised that there are 900 emergency calls a year in St. Anthony, which is less
18 than three per day. He asked how many of those calls will be of concern, noting they occur at all
19 times of day, while residents are at work, sleeping, watching television, etc. He stated that the
20 Study Group looked at all of these factors and did not take them lightly.
21
22 Mr. Archambault stated he heard today that this was a hasty decision but the studies have been
23 going on since 1999 and started with professional engineering studies. But, the City wanted
24 citizen input so the Study Group was advertised on the City's web site and through newsletters
25 and bulletins to get people to be involved in the process. Mr. Archambault stated he feels badly
26 that the residents in attendance tonight did not show up for the ten open meetings, open houses,
27 or City Council meetings. He noted the City mailed four letters to resident's homes to invite
28 them to attend.
29
30 Mr. Archambault pointed out that the decision on the fire station location was made in May and
31 there has been very little activity taken since May. Yet, all of the Council was re-elected except
32 for Amy Sparks who did not run for reelection. He stated this is an affirmation of the City
33 Council's decision.
34
35 Mr. Archambault stated the Study Group was charged with keeping the cost of the fire station
36 low and looked at the cost of taking commercial property off the tax rolls versus taking
37 residential property off the tax rolls. He asked if any of the petitioners has looked at that issue.
38 Mr. Archambault explained that with the temporary location, the annual property taxes now are
39 over$14,000 per year. If that building sells for the asking price,based on last year's taxes, the
40 taxes will be$26,178. The property taxes at 3501/05 Silver Lake Road combined was$3,522 a
41 year. He noted that is an extra$1 million in taxes over the 50-year life of the fire station. Mr.
42 Archambault stated all of these issues were looked at by the Study Group but they knew that no
43 matter what recommendation was made, someone would be unhappy.
44
. 45 Mr. Archambault stated some people who had been approached to sign the petition called him
46 and indicated they were"buttonholed" after church with no time to study the issues, or at the
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes 09
January 6, 2004
Page 9
1 door with the petitioner saying they don't think the fire station should be in an unsafe location or
2 middle of the neighborhood. However, if all the information available had been presented, such
3 as what was provided at the open houses, it may have been a different decision by the petitioner.
4 Mr. Archambault stated if the petition had been presented by asking whether the resident wanted
5 a three or six minute response time,he thinks you could get 1,100 people to sign that petition.
6 Or if you ask residents if they want their taxes to go up $100 or$200 next year for the fire
7 station, you could get 1,100 signatures on a petition. Mr. Archambault stated it depends on how
8 you phrase it.
9
10 Mr. Archambault stated he thinks the residents were well served by the people on the City
11 Council and Study Group. He noted this is not dealing with a full-time staff with researchers
12 because residents don't want to pay for that. The residents want people with an attachment to
13 the community to represent them. He invited any of the petitioners who disagree to be a
14 candidate or find a candidate and change things to the way they want to see them changed. Mr.
15 Archambault suggested that no one wants to invest the time but want their outcome to happen.
16 He stated a lot of the concern is due to fear of the unknown but he does not think the fire station
17 is anything to fear. Mr. Archambault thanked the audience and Council for their time.
18
19 Mayor Hodson invited residents to step forward to make comment at this time.
20
21 Chuck Haik, 2916 Hilldale, stated that most people here are not questioning the time and effort
22 spent by the Study Group or intent of the Council to provide required services. People got
23 involved and it gathered momentum due to the budget overrun at current proposed facility. They
24 started to question if it made sense and if, indeed, other alternative locations could be found. Mr.
25 Haik stated no one is throwing any"stones"or upset. He stated he thinks people are asking the
26 Council whether it is in everyone's best interest to stand back and take another look at this. Mr.
27 Haik stated it has nothing to do with the time and effort spent by the City Council or City staff.
28
29 Tom Roman, 2700—30`''Avenue NE, thanked the Mayor and City Council for listening to his
30 comments, Paul Archambault for presenting his views, and the petitioners for presenting the
31 petition, which he signed. He stated that he does not think this is a time to blame people for not
32 participating in the process that took place since many had other priorities they had to take care
33 of and could not participate. Now they are presenting the petition in good faith.
34
35 Mr. Roman stated there is a new park building east of the proposed fire station location and
36 asked if the City wants to be remembered by the noise that will happen during a picnic with kids
37 present. He noted there are no trees to cushion the sound that is propagated from that area,
38 especially from the top of the hill. Mr. Roman asked the Council to listen and listen carefully
39 since a number of citizens want them to reconsider their decision.
40
41 Elaine Reed, 3507 Belden Drive, stated she feels strongly about zoning because when you move
42 into a residential area you expect residential zoning and when it is changed, it is a huge impact
43 on everybody. She stated the Council needs to keep in mind how the outcome is impacting this
44 area or that area. She stated that if you live across from a warehouse that has the smell of
45 candles, you expect that since it is zoned manufacturing and is an expected thing from that type
46 of zoning. But, if you move into a residential area, are living across from neighbors, and then

1 find out it changed, it is a negative impact. Ms. Reed stated you can have appraisers come out
2 and find different discrepancies but she does not think any will find a positive impact.
3
4 Ms. Reed stated she will not be impacted that much but feels for residents who will be impacted
5 and thinks the City Council needs to look at what they have done to residents by changing the
6 zoning. She suggested that zoning is like a"promise"of what will be maintained and to do
7 otherwise is like changing the"game." She stated those with young families are left"holding
8 the bag."
9
10 Ms. Reed stated she appreciates everyone's effort and maybe the petitioners are running in at the
11 last minute but that is better than to wait and then grumble once it is up and done. She thanked
12 the Council for hearing her comments.
13
14 Clarence Ranallo, 2601 Kenzie Terrace, thanked each of the Council members for serving the
15 residents of St. Anthony and the patience shown at the December 8 meeting and again tonight.
16 He reviewed that in 1995,the old school building was used as the city hall,police department,
17 and community center. That building was in need of much repair so an outside survey was
18 conducted on the needs of St. Anthony and feelings of the residents. Residents were asked if the
19 City should build a new city hall,police station, and community center. The residents said"yes"
20 but not to increase taxes by more than$24 a year.
21
22 Mr. Ranallo stated the Council hired an architect and engineering firm and they said to put the
23 fire station right here and also that the cost of putting the city hall and everything together would
24 be well over$100 per resident per year in taxes. The Council held well-published informational
25 meetings with residents, booster clubs, and the school district. He reviewed dates that meetings
26 were held and stated that only 32 different residents came forward to provide input. There were
27 also many discussions at regular Council meetings. The Council then hired a new architect who
28 was willing to meet the $24/resident/year directive. Mr. Ranallo stated the meetings continued
29 and the Fire Chief said they could live in their current fire station so don't worry about that at the
30 same time. So, the City built the city hall. Then residents came and said it looks bad,has no
31 swimming pool, and was a bad decision. In 1997, it was election time. People running for
32 election campaigned on how bad this building was,but the Council held the cost to the $24/year.
33 Two of the regular Council members were defeated.
34
35 Mr. Ranallo stated that the Council then learned that in order to get things done,you must have a
36 task force. In 1999, the Council decided to have a public facilities task force and one was
37 created in 2002. In 2003, all received a newsletter saying where the fire station would be located
38 and what the cost would be. That location was 3501/05 Silver Lake Road. He noted the election
39 came in 2003 and the Mayor ran unopposed so residents must have thought he did a good job.
40 Two other Councilmembers were also reelected.
41
42 Mr. Ranallo noted that at the December 8 meeting, it was said how badly St. Anthony is being
43 treated by the State and Federal government. However, in last 14 years, St. Anthony has
44 received $13 million in State and Federal aid and $1 million went into the park. He noted that
45 people complained about their taxes but his taxes have decreased by 50% in the last five years
46 because he sold their four-bedroom house and bought a condo at Kensington with 2-bedrooms
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes 7
January 6,2004
Page 11
1 and many other amenities. Mr. Ranallo stated that when the Northwest Quadrant is developed,
2 you can soon move up there and that will save money on taxes.
3
4 Mr. Ranallo urged the City Council to build the fire station where the Study Group
5 recommended due to response time. He explained that they had an emergency call at Kensington
6 Terrace and the ambulance got there before the fire truck so the temporary location is not a good
7 location for response time. Mr. Ranallo stated if the Council wants to relocate the fire station,he
8 would suggest a location right across.from the Kensington. However, that would not be good for
9 the complete City because it needs to be in the middle of the City.
10
11 Eric Lindgren, 3408 Silver Lake Road, stated he is hearing there is not a lot of community
12 involvement and that was a problem with the petition. He stated he knows they are 18 months
13 late but they are trying to see what they can do now. Mr. Lindgren stated when they were going
14 door-to-door, residents said they do not know how to get involved. He estimated that 80% of the
15 people he talked with asked how the decision was made to build at the top of the hill on the
16 busiest street in St. Anthony. Mr. Lindgren stated they did not"twist arms"to get signatures on
17 the petition and those people wanted to know how to get involved. He stated public involvement
18 was lacking in the decision making process.
19
20 Tom Sletten, 3220 Skycoft Drive, stated he has been a resident for twenty and a half years and
21 enjoyed living in the Village. He stated this is an interesting issue that has developed as a result
22 of the fire station and he wanted to talk about what people indicated when talking about the fire
23 station. Mr. Sletten stated some people said a fire station is somewhat invisible since people are
24 busy with other things and it does not become a reality until the site is selected and you drive by
25 it every day. He pointed out that had the bid.gone through on schedule, it would be under
26 construction and this discussion would not occur. But, sometimes things happen for a reason
27 and when opportunities present themselves,people should get involved and those people are
28 asking to take another look. He read an editorial that he had drafted suggesting it is an excellent
29 opportunity to take another look at where the fire station should be located. He stated that he
30 and other Villagers who signed the petition would like the City Council to look at the location
31 through an open forum which would show the Council is interested in the public's concern.
32
33 George Marks, 3424 Silver Lake Road, stated he has lived at that location for over 30 years and
34 appreciates the Council's open forum tonight. Mr. Marks stated he spent eight years on the
35 Planning Commission and after that 20 years on the City Council. He stated that he noted early
36 on as a new Councilmember that the meeting packets contained a lot of background information
37 from various departments of the City. He particularly remembered the reports from the Fire
38 Department related to the number and types of calls. At first, about 50%were fire calls and 50%
39 were medical calls. But, over the years, the number of medical calls has increased.
40
41 Mr. Marks explained that as the Council also looked at how to reduce costs to fund the Fire
42 Department, it was mentioned that for every medical call, the fire truck also responds. It was
43 explained that the fire truck responds to medical calls in case a fire call is received during the
44 medical call. Then the firefighters don't have to return to the fire station to get the big fire truck.
45 Mr. Marks stated that the packets also included letters from many residents for whom there had
46 been a medical call, thanking the firemen for saving the life of a family member. He stated it
12
City Council Regular.Meeting Minutes

Page 12
1 was critical to look at how those people were being saved. Many times lives were saved by their
2 hearts being restarted during that critical time when they can survive. Mr. Marks noted that a
3 substantial number of people are able to live a full life because the fire department could get
4 there on time.
5
6 Mr. Marks stated that he heard there was a search for a fire station site and the old Christian
7 property was going to be looked at. He stated that he knows that property is nearly the
8 geographical center of town, which he believes is the correct place since it could provide
9 uniform service throughout the City and a lower response time. Mr. Marks stated this location is
10 by his house and he knows there will be some noise issues,but he also knows it is the best site.
11
12 Mr. Marks stated he walked the sidewalk up the hill on Silver Lake Road and it looks to him like
13 the recommended site is about the safest place to get out onto Silver Lake Road. He noted that
14 most fire calls drive on Silver Lake Road already. He stated that he believes the City Council
15 has already picked the best site and he hopes the Council moves forward with that site. He
16 stated he hopes the fire station is in place by next summer.
17
18 Jennette Dick, 3519 Harding, stated she has lived in St. Anthony for 34 years and has no
19 problem with trucks on Silver Lake Road, Stinson, or 37th Avenue. She stated she hears the fire
20 trucks and knows they are trying to save someone's life. Ms. Dick stated that last year she had
21 to call the fire department and they also had a call for back up. She noted they are not all full
22 time and asked how long the response time would take if the fire trucks had to come from one
23 end of the City. She suggested that in small towns the fire stations are located in the
24 neighborhoods. Ms. Dick stated the fire department deserves a brand new fire station,not a
25 renovated warehouse. She stated she thinks the residents need to come together and not be
26 divided over this issue.
27
28 Gary Shun, 3504—36`s Avenue, stated he is in support of the fire department,but does not
29 support the decision on the location. He stated it has been said very eloquently that there is a
30 great group of folks providing public safety and that is not the issue. He stated he read an article
31 where the Fire Chief had said that the response time was not appreciably different from the
32 temporary location as from the Kenzie location. He said that the fire department is generally
33 going to Chandler Place,but that is a non-issue.
34
35 Mr. Shun stated it is his personal opinion that the fire station does not belong on Silver Lake
36 Road or in that particular location on Silver Lake Road. He thanked Paul Archambault and those
37 who served on the Study Group for the work they did. He stated he works 50 hours a week so he
38 can pay his taxes and doesn't mind paying his taxes. Mr. Shun stated he is relatively aware of
39 what is going on in St. Anthony but did not know anything about the selected locations until the
40 last newsletter came out that indicated the site. He stated that he thought the site would be a
41 commercial site, closer to Apache Plaza, or a substation at Chandler Place. Mr. Shun stated that
42 if it wasn't for this particular location being selected, he would not be in attendance tonight.
43
44 Robert Lundeen stated he has lived in St. Anthony for 40 some years at 3912 Fordham Drive.
45 He stated the location bothers him and he does not understand why it is by the ballfields where
46 so many people will be parking. He stated that someone said the City Councilmembers serve for
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes 13
January 6,2004
Page 13
1 an average of 15 years and that's because St. Anthony is a small community. Mr. Lundeen
2 stated that he thinks the location at the top of the hill will be a problem for seeing traffic coming
3 or going. He asked what the alternative sites were.
4
5 Mayor Hodson stated that the alternative sites were published several times and also mentioned
6 tonight.
7
8 Bill Volna, 3501 Coolidge Street, stated some residents started coming to meetings about a year
9 ago because they were concerned and have gone through this countless times. He stated that last
10 spring there were 600 calls but they laid a hose only four or five times. He stated they argued for
11 small high-speed vehicles to bring the medical equipment but instead a big fire truck responds
12 and that makes no sense at all.
13
14 Mr. Volna stated that it is curious to him that Mr. Ranallo indicated the ambulance arrived prior
15 to the fire truck, which does not say much for the response time. He stated that last May he
16 spent time at the Council meetings, and it came up again tonight, about locating the fire station
17 on the top of the hill. Mr. Vo1na stated that in the last few days he talked to a friend at MnDOT
18 who said, off the record, that it is not a good site for a multitude of reasons and that they may
19 even have to buy the house to the north to satisfy the line of site requirement. Mr. Volna stated
20 another_issue is the turning radius of a large fire truck. It may be tight and the fire truck could
21 invade the south-bound lane during the turning movement. Mr. Volna stated that the County is
22 available to do the study, for sure.
23
24 John Mondati, 3420 Highcrest Road, stated the medical calls are a serious issue that the Council
25 has not addressed. He stated there are too many medical calls and a task force should be formed
26 to bring down the number of medical calls. He commented on a friend of his who had a heart
27 attack and stated that none of the businesses have a full aspirin tablet that could save lives. Mr.
28 Mondati stated he told the Council about the need for a defibrillator and now each of the police
29 cars have defibrillators. He stated that police officers are trained just like fire fighters and if a
30 squad car can get there fast, they can address medical problems. He suggested that a paramedic
31 be put on the force during the time when most heart attacks occur and that the City should
32 address how to reduce the number of medical calls. Mr. Mondati stated he thinks the number
33 can be cut in half.
34
35 Mr. Mondati stated that when he fractured his leg, it took 20 minutes before the ambulance
36 arrived. He added that when he had an appendicitis, he drove himself to the hospital. He urged
37 the Council to make some changes to save people lives since the fire truck does not get there
38 first, the police squad gets there first. Mr. Mondati noted there are very few fire calls, but a lot
39 of medical calls and urged the Council to do something about it.
40
41 There were no additional public comments.
42
43 Councilmember Horst thanked the citizens for getting involved and talking to their neighbors.
44 He stated a petitioner also came to his house and they discussed this issue. He stated that a lot of
45 assumptions are being stated, such as assuming fire departments are always bad neighbors when
46 others have praised having a fire department come in. He stated he does not know of many fire
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes 14
January 6, 2004
Page 14
1 department locations that are not somewhat adjacent to residential neighbors, if not in the
2 neighborhood. Councilmember Horst stated this was City property,not a taking of property or
3 dropping this in the middle of a residential area. He noted that it was also stated the location was
4 taken off the tax rolls, but that was addressed by Mr. Archambault. He explained that the City
5 will gain a tremendous amount of property tax relief by redeveloping the property on the south
6 end of town.
7
8 Councilmember Horst noted that people are also saying this is the"eleventh hour" and there is
9 an opportunity to change what has already been done. He stated it is not the"eleventh hour,"but
10 "1:30" and well past the decision point. He noted the City has already spent money, gone
11 through the process, and done all that's possible to make the best decision with public input.
12 Now,because a small group of people decides to rally neighbor and pit neighbors against
13 neighbor,the petition is presented.
14
15 Councilmember Horst stated he has heard comments that this is a danger to the park, and might
16 harm children. He suggested that it is far more likely, due to the proximity of the fire
17 department, to help a child with an injury or heat exhaustion than a fire fighter not watching
18 where they are going. He stated this type of speculation is paranoia.
19
20 Councilmember Horst stated he supports the process that was followed and all the public input
21 offered which had more input than any decision ever made. He recommended the City should
22 stay the course.
23
24 Councilmember Thuesen stated he has a feeling that it is better late than never for residents to
25 express their feelings but it is disappointing that it is at this late hour. He stated that he hopes
26 more neighbors will be involved in future issues. Councilmember Thuesen stated he will not
27 rehash the items one by one or the process but wants to mention that they were brought a petition
28 of 1,100 people but there are approximately 8,200 people in St. Anthony and he believes about
29 4,000 adults are out there who did not sign the petition, which is more of a mandate to stay put.
30
31 Councilmember Thuesen stated it is not uncommon to locate a fire station in an R-1 zone and
32 mentioned several areas where that is the case. He stated that Councilmember Horst touched on
33 that issue and has experience on the Planning Commission. He stated from personal experience,
34 he lived across from the old fire station for eight years and knew what he was buying in that
35 location. Councilmember Thuesen commented that it was an"eyesore"but not a hardship to his
36 family. He stated that he spent a lot of time outside and saw the eyesore but found that there was
37 peace of mind to have it so close, far from'a hardship. He commented that sometimes it is easy
38 to claim that a project will lower property values but he is not an appraiser so he can't say.
39 However, he lived closer to the fire station and did not have any negative impact when they
40 decided to move due to family needs.
41
42 Councilmember Thuesen noted that the issue of children safety was raised but he looks at it
43 differently and finds that view to be an over reaction. He stated he looks at it as a positive with a
44 park nearby that will be heavily used. He commented that when emergency people come,those
45 who have had the need have a different point of view about response time. He reviewed the
46 number of children that use the City Hall building facility to attend programs and advised that
15
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
January 6, 2004
Page 15
1 911 has been called several times. Councilmember Thuesen stated with response time, seconds
2 do matter. He urged residents to ask those parents how they view response times.
3
4 Councilmember Thuesen stated he supports the process used and the effort taken to get the
5 community involved. He stated the City Council is not trying to sneak something through and
6 the Mayor has tried very had to get people from all areas involved no matter what their views
7 are. That same process was used with the citing of this fire station. He stated he supports the
8 process and the location selected.
9
10 Councilmember Stille stated that he could take the easy way out since this is his first meeting
11 and he did not vote on the location. He commented that he was anxious to hear the feedback
12 tonight from the petitioners and Task Force Chair. Councilmember Stille thanked all for coming
13 to the meeting tonight and getting involved. He stated that after hearing the testimony and
14 weighing on it himself, he believes the process was viable, logical,methodical, and
15 communicated. He stated he went back and looked at the summer of 2002 and past notes sent to
16 the residents that contained advertisements on the need for task force members. He stated all
17 need to keep abreast of what is going on in their community.
18
19 Councilmember Stille stated he served on the Planning Commission and they did not make a
20 recommendation on a site since a fire station is a permitted conditional use in an R-1 residential
21 property and that is similar to what is allowed in other communities. He stated that in terms of
22 redevelopment, there is acquisition, development, infrastructure, and construction. He stated
23 that common sense does not say the City Council can turn back and go the other direction at this
24 point, and that is where he stands.
25
26 Councilmember Faust thanked the audience for coming to the meeting and commented on the
27 importance for residents to be involved.. He stated he spent 23 years in the military to protect
28 freedom and that is what attending a meeting tonight is about, freedom. He stated he appreciates
29 a concerned group and has several comments to make to give a sense of where the Council came
30 from, how it got to this point, and the thought process involved. He stated the ground swell of
31 concern was mentioned and that the City Council does not take its decision lightly. It was also
32 mentioned that the Council is not unwilling to look at a decision if they feel there is something
33 that is not as it should be. So the question is not whether there is a need for public facilities,that
34. process started in 1989. He noted that Mr. Archambault said they were given a clean slate to
35 look at it but were told that the cost had to be reasonable.
36
37 Councilmember Faust stated he also spent six years on the Planning Commission and six years
38 as a real estate appraiser where you need to demonstrate by comparable that there is a negative
39 impact. In those years, he has never seen where a school, church,playground, public building,
40 or fire station, negatively effected a property. He stated that while it may not be for everybody,
41 he has not been able to demonstrate that it negatively effects the property. Councilmember Faust
42 commented that change always makes people nervous but his sense is that once it is done, it will
43 be compatible with residential uses. He stated he also heard talk about devaluing but would
44 submit that if it would devalue property where it is going, property would appreciate where it
45 was. However, he does not think that can be demonstrated in an appraisal process.
46

1 Councilmember Faust explained that location is the determining factor of value for properties
2 located on Silver Lake Road. He reviewed changes that occurred to Silver Lake Road since
3 1982 and noted that at that time,no one parked along Silver Lake Road.
4
5 Councilmember Faust stated the driving issue for him is public safety and response time. He
6 stated his responsibility as an elected official is to provide the best service to all the citizens of
7 St. Anthony. He stated that when you look at everything, to him it becomes obvious that a
8 centrally located response team is the way to go. He stated that may not make everyone happy
9 but in his opinion it is the right thing to do.
10
11 Councilmember Faust stated that former Councilmember Marks made a comment about getting
12 thank you letters in the Council's meeting packet and in the last year,the Council got a letter
13 from a lady who had a 14-month-old son. With that emergency call, the response was within the
14 required time and the child was transported to HCMC. That woman credited the Fire
15 Department with saving the life of her child and she was a registered nurse. Councilmember
16 Faust explained that those letters are not announced or discussed due to the privacy needed. He
17 stated that fire fighters save lives. That does not always get into the newspapers, but maybe it
18 should.
19
20 Councilmember Faust stated his conscience drives him to the decision to provide equal
21 protection to all citizens. He stated that Councilmember Horst is right that it is beyond the
22 "eleventh hour"but the Council would consider the decision if it was proper to do. He stated
23 that this is a democracy and all work together so we need to come together to work with this
24 issue. He appealed to the residents to use their many talents, early on in a process, so they can
25 be utilized. He noted that the Apache development will need a lot of public help.
26
27 Councilmember Faust stated he would maintain the decision made and affirmation that the
28 process is now closed and will move forward as planned. He stated that is not to say the Council
29 didn't appreciate the effort or that it didn't have an impact because it raises the level of
30 awareness for noise and public input. He stated that he will also talk with the City Manager and
31 Fire Chief to assure the Fire Department is a good neighbor but the project needs to proceed.
32
33 Mayor Hodson stated that when he originally heard about the petition,he was upset because the
34 City had followed a process and he wanted to ask where these people were during that process.
35 He stated that in a telephone conversation with former Mayor Cavanaugh, it was stated that this
36 is what the Council created and wanted, to get residents involved. However, he wished it had
37 occurred earlier and that there were more than 19 members on the task force.
38
39 Mayor Hodson stated that complacency is one of the issues we all face and he wished more
40 public input had been provided. He stated that the petition does allow the City to encourage the
41 audience to become involved with recommendations and bring forward items of communication
42 they can be better at. He stated it is easier for the Council to manage the issues if public input is
43 provided. He encouraged residents to participate in all the issues, not just this one.
44
45 Mayor Hodson stated that he did read through all of the names in the petition and thanked those
46 involved for providing this information. However,he agrees with the rest of the
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes ,�7
January 6,2004
Page 17
1 Councilmembers that the process has been followed. Mayor Hodson stated that when the bids
2 came in too high, a discussion occurred and it was decided to proceed but to reduce the costs.
3
4 Mayor Hodson stated that the Councilmembers have each voiced their reaffirmation to continue
5 with the process that has been identified. He stated that is what the Council has committed to do
6 tonight.
7
8 Mayor Hodson stated he will recommend the Council discuss forming a task force to determine
9 how the City can better deliver services. He stated he would like to see many of the residents
10 present tonight participate in that task force. He urged the residents to help the Council manage
11 the issues of the City.
12
13 Mayor Hodson called for a recess at 9:05 p.m. The meeting was reconvened at 9:20 p.m.
14
15 B. Planniny,Commission—December 16, 2003.
16 1. Resolution 04-011, Lot Coverage Variance Request: and,
17 1. Resolution 04-012, Front Yard Setback Variance Request by Rod Rabine 2800-34`h
18 .Avenue NE.
19 Planning Commission Chair Melsha addressed Council and provided an update on the lot
20 coverage variance and a front yard setback variance request. He explained that the Rabine
21 request is for two variances to add a room to their house because his mother is confined to a
22 wheelchair and it would facilitate extended visits by providing a handicapped accessible
23 bathroom on the main floor. The addition space is proposed to be a bedroom and the new
24 handicapped accessible bathroom will be created in an existing bedroom,which is adjacent to an
25 existing bathroom.
26
27 Planning Commission Chair Melsha stated there was a lot of concern with the front yard setback
28 since it is the most visible by neighbors and creates conflict with views. In addition, the
29 Planning Commissioners were not convinced that there were other alternatives that were not
30 completely unreasonable. The Planning Commission did not find a hardship and recommended
31 the Council deny the front yard setback variance request.
32
33 Planning Commission Chair Melsha stated the lot coverage variance was more straight forward
34 and a similar request had been discussed before. He explained how the buildings and driveway
35 are configured and noted that the Planning Commission has recommended approval in other
36 similar requests. He stated that the Planning Commission found this to be a unique situation due
37 to the location of the buildings and it is less than a 3%variance request. The Planning
38 Commission found sufficient hardship and recommended approval of the lot coverage variance
39 request.
40
41 Councilmember Faust reviewed the schematic contained in the Council information that showed
42 the Rabine property. Planning Commission Chair Melsha reviewed the location of the front yard
43 setback. Councilmember Faust asked if the Planning Commission had recommended an
44 alternative to add to the rear of the house. Planning Commission Chair Melsha stated that
45 alternative was discussed.

1 Councilmember Horst asked about the setback request. Planning Commission Chair Melsha
2 stated they used the rule of the average setback of the two adjacent properties so it would be a 32
3 to 33 foot setback. Councilmember Horst stated that to grant the requested setback variance,the
4 house would not look the same as the other houses in the neighborhood.
5
6 Councilmember Horst asked about the feasibility of adding a bathroom to the back of the house.
7
8 Rod Rabine, applicant, stated he has not explored that option because the plumbing would not be
9 as accessible.
10
11 Marilyn Jedinak; 2712- 34`h Avenue, stated she is opposed to both requests, the lot coverage
12 variance and the front yard setback variance. She stated the neighbor to the east had explained
13 to her that the applicant wanted to add a master bath to their house. She stated at that time she
14 did not imagine how large the bathroom would be or the impact to the setback.
15
16 Ms. Jedinak stated she appreciates getting the letter from the City about this request. She stated
17 she came to the City and asked questions about the application and the setback. At that time, the
18 Assistant City-Manager stated the setback hadn't been considered yet so she would review that
19 issue. Ms. Jedinak stated she then got a letter for the second variance request. She stated if this
20 is approved, the entire site of her house would disappear from 34`''Avenue. Also, she has an east
21 facing window that would have no view of the road. She stated that she understands wanting to
22 have your mother visit, but believes losing the site of her house will negatively impact the value
23 of her house. She stated she proposed using the back of the house and does not think it would be
24 impossible to do so. Or, an option to build up could be considered.
25
26 Ms. Jedinak stated another issue is water drainage, which has always been a problem. She stated
27 her property is downgrade from the Rabine property.
28
29 Councilmember Thuesen asked if there was discussion about the total lot coverage and impact
30 on water drainage. Planning Commission Chair Melsha stated it was such a small percentage of
31 increase, it was considered the drainage impact would be negligible.
32
33 Councilmember Faust asked Todd Hubmer to respond to the issue of water drainage.
34
35 Todd Hubmer, WSB &Associates, Inc., stated he is at a disadvantage to answer because he does
36 not know the existing lot coverage or proposed increase. He stated that 220 square feet of
37 impervious surface results in a small amount of water during a normal storm event. He advised
38 that the calculations for the City's stormwater designs are based on 40% coverage.
39
40 Motion by Councilmember Horst, seconded by Councilmember Thuesen, to adopt Resolution
41 04-011, Approving Lot Coverage Variance Request for 2800 - 34th Avenue NE.
42
43 Discussion:
44
45 Councilmember Horst stated that the City always wants to encourage property owners to
46 improve their property and increase its value. He stated that this is a small lot so it is difficult to
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes 19
January 6, 2004
Page 19
1 improve without considering a small variance.
2
3 M_ otion carried unanimously.
4
5 Motion by Councilmember Horst, seconded by Councilmember Faust, to adopt Resolution 04-
6 012, Denying Front Yard Setback Variance for 2800- 34`h Avenue NE.
7
8 Discussion:
9
10 Councilmember Horst stated he supports denial of the front yard setback variance request
11 because of the importance of maintaining the view of a neighborhood and not radically change
12 it. He noted that the previous consideration still allows the property owner some options.
13
14 Councilmember Stille explained that the City is required by State Statutes to find a hardship and
15 economics is not a consideration for a hardship.
16
17 Councilmember Faust stated that he served six years on the Planning Commission and has seen
18 issues for a front yard setback. Over the years, the Council and Planning Commission have tried
19 to maintain front yard setbacks and are required by Minnesota Statutes to maintain those values.
20 He encouraged Mr. Rabine to pursue a different avenue to make the improvement and stated that
21 he thinks value will be gained back since the character of the neighborhood would be unchanged.
22
23 Motion carried unanimously.
24
25 Councilmember Thuesen stated he wanted to publicly thank Chris Melsha for his service on the
26 Planning Commission.
27

2
3 Discussion:
4
5 Councilmember Faust asked if the property owners have been notified by mail. Mr. Hubmer
6 answered in the affirmative and stated that a public information meeting will be held on January
7 28, 2004 and the formal notice of assessment will be sent out next week.
8
9 Councilmember Thuesen stated he is close to this year's construction project and, at a recent
10 neighborhood get together, a concern was brought up about a drainage issue in relationship to the
11 street project. Mr. Hubmer stated at the first public information meeting the residents mentioned
12 a number of back yard drainage issues. Some of the areas have been addressed and the others
13 were added.
14
15 Councilmember Thuesen asked how they approach the issue to make sure all areas of drainage
16 problems are addressed. Mr. Hubmer stated they try to address those issues through the public
17 information process where input is gathered from residents, including the issue of drainage. He
18 stated there are a few areas that will need to be addressed in the long term once the money
19 becomes available. He stated the residents usually notify City staff and notes are made to assure
20 they are brought forward during the project.
21
.22 Councilmember Thuesen asked Mr. Hubmer to emphasize to the residents that they need to bring
23 those issues forward to make sure all are addressed. He asked when the issues of topography
24 and change in elevation are addressed. Mr. Hubmer stated with last year's project there was
25 only one area where the property elevation was changed. With the 2004 project, there are no
26 major changes in elevation.
27
28 Councilmember Stille stated while campaigning he heard concerns from residents related to
29 timing of construction. He asked if the contract requires the contractor to keep to a certain
30 schedule. Mr. Hubmer stated the contractor is required to submit a schedule and notification if
31 there are changes to the schedule. He stated that the schedule is also sent to the residents to keep
32 them informed. In addition, a refrigerator magnet is given to each resident that contains
33 telephone numbers to call if questions arise.
34
35 Motion carried unanimously.
36
37 2. Resolution 04-014, re: Declare Cost to be Assessed and Order Preparation of

40 $1,288,929.58. The City's portion is $1,310,000 and property owner's portion is $390,000.

10 B. Ordinance 2004-001, re: Amend Building Code Section of Ordinance and Building Fee
11 Charges (first reading).
12 City Manager Momson stated the City implements the State Building Code and when it changes,
13 the City must amend its ordinance. He stated that the amendment has undergone an extensive
14 review process by the State Building Department. However,the last amendment did not include
15 the building fee schedule. A recommended fee schedule was created by a committee formed by
16 the League of Minnesota Cities, the Association of Metropolitan Municipalities,building
17 officials, community development directors, and finance directors from metropolitan area cities.
18 He stated that the benefit to the City-is that a higher building permit fee can be realized.

21 Ordinance 2004-001, re: Amend Building Code Section of Ordinance and Building Fee Charges.
22
23 Discussion:

25 Councilmember Faust asked if these are State-wide uniform building permit fees. Mr. Momson
26 stated that may be the intent and the Builders Association is currently conducting a study of the
27 building permit fees being charged by different cities. He noted that the proposed amendment
28 will get St. Anthony's fees in line with what is being charged by other cities.

30 Motion carried unanimously.

Report Date: December 30, 2003
Meeting Date: January 6, 2004 Agenda Section: VII, B
ITEM DESCRIPTION: Ordinance adopting new State Building Code and Fee
Schedule
MANAGER'S REVIEW: The newest version of the State Building Code, which the
City of St. Anthony uses as a guide for building permits, was adopted this year by the
State. It was last updated in 1997. With the adoption of this code, we are also adopting
a new fee schedule. See example of new vs old fee schedule from the League of
Minnesota Cities memo.,
To give you an example of how the new fee schedule will work:
The Amcon project paid $8,740 in 2003 under the old fee schedule. The same project
in 2004 would provide us with a fee of$8,955 - an increase of$485.
�I Adoption of the new fee schedule will provide the City the ability to capture more
1
revenues.

RE: Vacation of Portion of 39th Avenue N.E.
At its meeting on January 27th the City Council will be holding a public hearing on the
vacation of a portion of 391h Avenue N.E. as dedicated in the plat of Apache Plaza. In
connection with the commercial development occurring in connection with the redevelopment of
Apache Plaza, the right of way for 39th Avenue N.E. in the development area will be relocated
slightly and rededicated in the plat of Silver Lake Village. I have prepared a resolution vacating
the portion of 39th Avenue N.E. to be relocated and I recommend that the City Council adopt this
resolution with the condition that it should not be filed with Ramsey County until 39th Avenue
N.E. is rededicated in the plat of Silver Lake Village. This condition should be made in the
motion to approve the resolution.

ITEM DESCRIPTION: Applications for a conditional use permit and variance for
3259 Stinson Boulevard
MANAGER'S REVIEW: January 20 is the public hearing at the Planning
Commission level for 2 requests concerning Ali's Mini Mart, located at 3259
Stinson Boulevard. The petitioner is interested in adding two new refueling
islands with four pumps as well as one steel canopy. Griffin Contracting has filed
a conditional use permit and variance applications for the owner of the Mini Mart
in December. A concept review of the plan was held at the December 16, 2003,
Planning Commission meeting.
Background: With the proposed plan, the petitioner has filed a variance
application for the parking requirement, as their plans do not show enough
parking. The City's commercial zoning code requires 10 parking spaces for the
site, which is one space per 300 square feet of gross floor area, which is 2,960
square feet. The petitioner's plan shows five spots, plus two specifically
designated as employee parking. City code does not specify for whom the
parking spaces are designated for; they are located in the City's right of way,
which is not allowed by code. The petitioner has commented there are 8 parking
positions at the islands. Staff has relayed to them that would not count towards
the required 10 parking spaces. Thus, the parking variance is for 5 parking
spaces for walk-in customers.
More notes regarding parking: according to the City code, parking spaces must
be at least 9 feet by 19 feet and must be clearly marked and outlined. Currently,
at the subject property, the petitioner told staff the parking spaces are not clearly
marked and outlined. However, the petitioner said that would be added as well.
Please note that according to City code, parking is prohibited in the following: (a)
within five feet of a side lot line; (b) within 10 feet of the front property line; and (c)
within 10 feet of the rear lot line. Also, when a commercial property, such as this,
abuts residential areas, it is unlawful to park a vehicle or provide a parking space
41
closer than 20 feet. Residential housing is at the southern (side) line of the
subject property and at the eastern (rear) property line. The other two sides are
roadways.
A conditional use permit is also required and has been filed by the petitioner for the gas
station use in the commercial zoning district.
At the December concept review, Planning Commissioners viewed the proposed plan
and offered comments. In general, Commissioners were concerned the site will be too
dense with adding the proposed pumps. They felt circulation o the site would be difficult
and reducing the number of parking spaces is moving in the wrong direction. One
Commissioner gave an idea the petitioner could consider: to add a one-sided island on
the grassy area. The petitioner has not submitted revised plans since the December
concept review.

INTEROFFICE MEMO ANDUM
TO: MICHAEL J.MORNSON
FROM: JOEL A.HEWITT
SUBJECT: HENNEPIN MUTUA AID CONTRACT
DATE: 1/16/2004
CC:
Background:
The fire service has developed a Mutual-Aid reciprocal agreement contract to provide resources in
time of need when resources have been depleted on an incident or several incidents on a no fee basis.
However,recently it has been found to be reimbursed by FEMA for services rendered due to a
disaster,many contracts are now including the ability to charge after 8-12 hours of services provided.
These events usually are very few and far between,that the majority of assistance requests lye within
the scope of The original intent of these contracts.
Currently,our fire department participates in two contract associations The Capital City which allows
us to request assistance from Ramsey County area departments and the North Suburban which
allows us to request assistance from the Northwest suburbs from Minneapolis to as far as Big Lake.
We also participate in the statewide system,which is a resource that provides assistance of any type
from any participating department in the system This system is typically used for large extensive
incidents,such as a hazardous materials release,a man-made,or natural disaster.
We currently as all departments in Hennepin County do not have a formalized agreement to call
assistance from across the width and breadth of Hennepin County.The county is currently severed
by two agreements not covered by one agreement limiting on who can be called to provide mutual
aid.To alleviate this problem,The Hennepin County Fire Chiefs Association has recently written a
contract(attached) to provide county fire departments to call assistance from any fire department
located in Hennepin County.
Pro s
My request is to approve the attached is a resolution to authorize the City Manger to enter into a
mutual aid agreement on behalf of the ST.Anthony Fire Department with the Hennepin County
Chief s Association Mutual Aid contract.
If you have any questions or concerns,please call on me,thank you.
HENNEPIN COUNTY CHIEFS ASSOCIATION 53
Founded 1961
Dear Members,
At the August 14,2003,meeting of the Hennepin County Chiefs Association,the proposed countywide mutual aid
agreement and bylaw changes were unanimously accepted by the members present. It is now up to each Department
to get the approval needed so that signed copies,accepting the terms of the agreement,can be put on file with the
Secretary of the Association.
This agreement is based on the League of Minnesota Cities Mutual Aid Agreement Model with just a few
exceptions. The first of these is the addition of"Specialized Activities"in the definition section. This allows
departments to assist each other for non-emergency activities. Such activities could be arson investigation,training,
sharing of fire instructors,equipment and facilities.
The next exception is the addition of Section Three,"PARTIES". This section explains the administrative process
required to be part of the agreement. Section 4 also was changed with the addition of the Minnesota Incident
Management System(NIIMS)to the"Command of Scene" subdivision.
The final changes are in Section Seven "Charges to the Requesting Party". This section calls for the responding
party to be reimbursed for any assistance that exceeds eight hours and all supplies used regardless of assistance time.
This was added to comply with the Federal Emergency Management Agency's(FEMA)rule. The rule states that if
local governments do not have a written agreement that provides for charges to be paid to the Responding Party,
FEMA will not reimburse the Responding Party for those cost's. The rule allows short-term assistance to be given
for no charge. The eight-hour figure was decided on by the membership.
The by-laws were changed to allow Fire Departments outside the boundary lines of Hennepin County to be Affiliate
Members of the organization. They would have the privileges of an active member except for voting and holding
office. Their dues would be ten dollars a year,the same as an active member,to cover any administrative costs.
For those that must go to council a sample resolution has been provided. Certified copies of the resolution and/or
executed copies of the agreement must be sent to Hennepin County Chiefs Association Secretary,Greg Pederson,so
that a current list of parties to the agreement can be maintained.
Questions regarding the agreement or process should be directed to President George Esbensen,952-949-8336,or
Committee member Luke Stemmer,952-924-2596.

George Esbensen,President
