4 8. PUBLIC HEARINGS.
5 None.
6 9. NEW APPLICATIONS.
7 9.1 Concept Review re: Proposed Request by Mako,Inc.to Deed Private Alley to the City of St.
8 Anthony.
9 Bergstrom reviewed this issue for the Planning Commission by stating that Mako, Inc. (Judy and
10 Chet Makowske)was interested in deeding an alley to the City of St. Anthony. The alley is 20 feet
11 wide and it begins at Rankin Road and dead ends into the Arbors townhouse Development.
12 According to the Makowskes,the neighboring properties are amendable to deeding the alley to the
13 City.
14 It was noted that a public hearing is not required for this request; however, the City Council was
15 looking for Planning Commission opinion at this time and possibly a resolution
16 At this point, Mrs. Judy Makowske approached the Commission and offered to answer any ques-
® 17 tions. Stille inquired if the City owns any other alleys. Mrs. Makowske noted that the City owns
18 and maintains a number of alleys.
19 Thomas asked for a brief history of the concept of donating the alley to the City. Mrs. Makowske
20 introduced her husband,Chet Makowske,and invited him to address that question. Mr.Makowske
21 noted that his parents originally bought a tract of land in the area. Mr. Chet Makowske later built
22 his home in the middle of a field and, prior to the Village coming in, the road was supposed to go
23 in front of his house. However, the road was not placed in front of his house, and his home faces
24 the alley instead. The alley has had to be closed off because there was traffic going through.
25 Mr. Makowske continued by stating that insurance is impossible to obtain because it the alley is
26 viewed as public land. The property is in excellent condition with approximately 6 inches of asphalt.
27 The Makowske's would like to deed the property to the Village.
28 Bergstrom asked for Commissioner's input and received general approval.
29 Motion by Bergstrom, second by Stille, that the City of St. Anthony accept the private alley from
30 Mako, Inc. to be owned by the City and maintained by the City.
31 Motion carried unanimously.
• 32 9.2 Concept Review re: Monument Sign for City Hall.
33 Bergstrom reviewed this matter for the Commission by stating that the City Council is interested in
34 a monument sign in front of the City Hall/Community Center Building. At this time, Council and
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes
November 21, 2000
Page 3
1 Staff are looking for input from the Planning Commission during this concept review. If necessary,
2 a public hearing will be held at a future meeting, either in January or February.
3 Additionally, it was noted that.Jay Hartman, Public Works Director, has been working with the .
4 LeRoy Sign Company and has received a quotation for the proposed sign in the amount of$37,015.
5 At this point,Bergstrom recommended that a subgroup be formed by the Planning Commission to
6 review this matter. Bergstrom and Stille volunteered to be members of the subgroup to provide
7 some research and input to the Planning Commission and ultimately the City Council.
8 It was decided that Bergstrom and Stille would meet with Jay Hartman(Public Works Director)and
9 Michael Morrison (City Manager), regarding this matter and would report back at a later time.
10 10. Neighborhood Meeting Report re: Proposed Walgreen's Store for the Corner of Silver Lake
11 Road and 37th Avenue.
12 Bergstrom acknowledged that Mr. Mike Kalscheur of TOLD Development was present to discuss
13 the neighborhood meeting report for the proposed Walgreen's Store for the corner of Silver Lake
14 Road and 37th Avenue North.
15 Mr. Kalscheur reported that the neighborhood meeting was held last Wednesday,and that a mailer
• 16 had been sent out to residences within a 350-foot radius. The residents were invited to attend the
17 Neighborhood Meeting so that issues could be addressed. Several residents appeared at the meeting,
18 and Mr.Kalscheur felt that the meeting was positive and an excellent exchange of information. One
19 issue that was of significance was the site lighting. Mr. Kalscheur reminded the Commission that
20 Walgreen's had agreed to utilize a certain type of lighting that is consistent with the plans that the
21 City has agreed upon. Different specific styles of lighting were discussed by Mr. Kalscheur and he
22 explained some types of lighting that various existing Walgreen's store have used. The Walgreen's
23 intent is to have an agreeable balance that would suit the surrounding residents as well as the City
24 and Walgreen's. Mr. Kalscheur would continue to work with Assistant City Manager Sue Henry
25 specifically on the lighting issue.
26 In summary, Mr. Kalscheur noted that the design plans would be available for the Commission's
27 review at the December 2000 meeting. Additionally, Mr. Kalscheur rioted that Walgreen's is in-
28 vestigating types of signs that would be used for the new store.
29 Bergstrom noted that the Planning Commission understands that Walgreens and any commercial
30 establishment needs to have light levels that are safe. Additionally, most everyone would like the
31 lighting to be contained on the site as much as possible. He noted that the Planning Commission's
32 intent was to encourage a certain type of style of outdoor lighting for the new store,but that the City
33 encouraged Walgreen's to have a type of lighting that meets the store's expectations as well.
is34 Bergstrom acknowledged that the concept review for the Walgreen's store has been helpful and he
35 thanked Mr.Kalscheur for holding the neighborhood meeting to encourage input from the residents.

1 10.2 Review Engineering Comments re: Accurate Wire Solutions Proposal to Purchase City-
2 Owned Property.
3 Bergstrom reviewed for the Commission that Accurate Wire Solutions is interested in a street va-
4 cation for Anthony Lane. In.this respect, Bergstrom directed the Commission's attention to Todd
5 Hubmer's letter of November 10,2000. Mr.Hubmer's letter stated that WSB&Associates,Inc.has
6 reviewed the current request by Accurate Wire Solution for the City to vacate a portion of Anthony
7 lane right-of-way to accommodate the proposed building expansion in St. Anthony Industrial Park.
8 Mr. Hubmer's letter noted that, should the City decide to accommodate this request, the following
9 actions are recommended: (1) the right-of-way could be vacated and a utility easement could be
10 taken over that portion of the right-of-way within-which the City's watermain is located; (2) a
1 ► driveway easement could be dedicated to ensure that the property located in St. Anthony Industrial
12 Park 2nd Addition, Block .1, Lot 2, is provided access to Anthony Lane; and (3) the'proposed
13 building should meet City standards for building setbacks from the rear property line as the City'
14 watermain runs parallel to the eastern lot line.
15 Thomas suggested that if the Planning Commission did accommodate this request, besides incor-
16 porating everything that WSB suggested, the costs should also be added in. Specifically, that the
17 costs should be borne by the company.
•18 11. OTHER ITEMS.
19 11.22. Review Terms to the Planning Commission.
20 Bergstrom noted that the following Commissioner's terms will expire at the end of this year:
21 Melsha, Hatch, and Bergstrom. He noted that December 1, 2000 is the deadline for submitting
22 letters of renewal.
23 11.2 Report From the Antenna Ordinance Subcommittee.
24 Melsha reported that the subcommittee met in the earlier part of November. Melsha stated that
25 Hatch had suggested that a survey be performed and some research done with the communications
26 companies. The information obtained would be to see where those companies foresee antennas
27 being placed and the technology that would be needed. The subcommittee has discussed the
28 possibility of meeting next week to formalize the information and will be working with Staff in the
29 meantime. Stille noted that Hatch had found a pertinent article on a webpage,and the-possibility had
30 been discussed about engaging a particular firm for guidance in connection with the antenna
31 ordinance. The cost of such a service was not expected to be prohibitive.
32 Bergstrom reviewed that there is a one-year moratorium on this ordinance,and he requested that the
33 subcommittee put together a type of timeline for their research as it would be helpful to the Planning
34 Commission.
35 Melsha noted that he and the other members of the subcommittee would be coordinating the project
•36 with Assistant City Manager Sue Henry.

1 Hanson commented that last Thursday was the first meeting of the Northwest Task Force, and that
2 he attended as a representative for Faith United Methodist Church. Hanson thought it was a good
3 meeting and he looks forward to contributing time and input towards-the process.
4 Hanson mentioned that after the Northwest Task Force meeting,he mentioned to Mayor Cavanaugh
5 that, as a member of the Planning Commission, he had been disappointed about the outcome of the
6 Hillcrest Development/Apache Plaza proposal. He noted that the Planning Commission had worked
7 hard to make an informed recommendation to the Council,and had been discouraged at the ultimate
8 decision by the Council. Hanson continued by stating that he was enlightened and encouraged about
9 the possibility of another type of activity being considered at the Apache Plaza by the Northwest
10 Task Force.
11 Additionally,Hanson reported that he received his Planning Commission meeting agenda packet at
12 8:30 p.m. the evening prior to the meeting.
13 Lastly,Hanson believes it would be a good idea to review the Planning Commission's goals for the
14 Year 2000, and he would like to encourage the three Planning Commissioners whose terms will be
15 up at the end of the year to reapply.
16 Thomas commented that he agrees with Hanson's ideas.. Additionally, he would like to call the
17 Commissioners' attention to a program that the Minnesota Finance Agency offers. In this respect,
t
18 he pointed out certain information contained in the Commission's agenda packets.
19 Additionally,Thomas would like to see the Planning Commission publicly support the Community
20 Revitalization Fund. He continued by explaining in further detail the essentials of the program.
21 He would like to suggest that the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council explore
22 the possibilities of applying for some of the grant funds and to inquire if the City is interested in
23 pursuing them. These funds would apply to the entire Village and not just the Northwest Quadrant.
24 Bergstrom noted that the deadline for these grants is December and June. Thomas said the first step
.25 . is to make a suggestion to the City Council to inquire if it is interested in pursuing these grants.
26 Then, the City Staff would go forward in taking steps to apply for the grant.
27 Bergstrom noted that this issue should move on to the City Council next week due to the deadline
28 of December. In the meantime, Bergstrom felt that he would refer this matter to Assistant City
29 Manager Sue Henry.
30 Bergstrom would discuss this issue with Assistant City Manager Henry. Additionally, Melsha
31 agreed to present this matter to the City Council at the Tuesday,November 28, 2000 meeting.
• 32 Melsha did not have any comments.
33 Bergstrom commented that he had written a memo to the Commissioners regarding the televised
34 meetings. He wished to remind the Commissioners that the meetings begin promptly at 7:00 p.m.

FROM: Susan Henry, Assistant City Manager
RE: Public Hearing: Accurate Wire Solutions Street Vacation
Requested Action:
Accurate Wire Solutions, Inc., (the petitioner) has submitted a formal petition to the City of St.
Anthony for a street vacation for St. Anthony Lane.
Background:
With an addition planned, more parking is needed and necessary (per city code) for the petitioner.
The proposed addition measures 7,000 square feet. To accommodate this, Accurate Wire is
requesting the street vacation from the City. The City codes states required parking is 200 square
feet per car. Accurate Wire plans on adding 20 cars to its parking lot, so they would be required to
have 4,000 square feet for parking. They far exceed that; they will have 27,000 square feet available
for cars.
Staff Recommendation:
It is conducive for the City to grant this request to retain this business and assist with making the
• necessary accommodation.
Staff recommends approval of the street vacation, per the City Engineer's comments on the attached
report.

• City Engineer Comments
• Proposed Building Plans submitted by Accurate Wire Solutions, Inc

Re: Accurate Wire Solutions Incorporated Proposed Building Expansion
WSB Project No. 1065-01
Dear Mike:
We have reviewed the current request by Accurate Wire Solutions for the City of St.Anthony to vacate a
portion of Anthony Lane right-of-way(ROW)to accommodate the proposed building expansion in St.
Anthony Industrial Park,Block 2,Lot 3. Based on conversations with Mr.Roger Stoick of Accurate Wire
Solutions,they are proposing the following improvements:
• Expanding the existing building approximately 100 feet to the north and 70 feet to the west. This
results in a 7,000-square foot building addition.
• To accommodate this additional building space,additional parking is required.
• They are requesting the City of St. Anthony vacate portions of Anthony Lane ROW to accommodate
expansion of parking..
• Based on this're q quest and a site review,I offer the following co mments:
• City of St. Anthony has an existing watermain which runs within the ROW requested to be vacated.
• The section of Anthony Lane requested to be vacated is currently a dead-end,and will likely remain
as such indefinitely.
• Upon vacating the ROW,the north half of Anthony Lane will be turned back to the property owner to
the north and the south half to Accurate Wire.
Should the City desire to accommodate this request,the following actions are recommended:
• The right-of-way could be vacated and a utility easement could be taken over that portion of the right-
of-way within which the City's watermain is located.
• A driveway easement could be dedicated to ensure that the property located in St.Anthony Industrial
Park 2nd Addition,Block 1,Lot 2 is provided access to Anthony Lane.
The proposed building should meet City standards for building setbacks from the rear property line as
the City watermain runs parallel to the eastern lot line.
Should the City desire to vacate the Anthony ROW,we anticipate that the cost to prepare the necessary
documents will be between$800 to$1,000. If you have any questions regarding this matter,please call me at
(763)277-5782.
Sincerely,
WSB&Associates,Inc.

• Re: Anthony Lane Street Vacation
Dear Mike:
In accordance with our discussions, I have prepared and enclose the documents to vacate a
portion of Anthony Lane pursuant to the petition of Accurate Wire Solutions, Inc. Street vacations are
governed by Minnesota Statutes § 412.851, which gives the Council the authority to vacate a street by
resolution on its own motion or on petition of a majority of the owners of land abutting the street. A
petition has been submitted by Accurate Wire Solutions, Inc. If any of the street abutting the property
of other owners is to be vacated, you may wish to have them sign a petition.
When a petition has been submitted, the resolution may be adopted by a majority vote. For
future reference, if there is no petition, the resolution may be adopted only by a vote of four-fifths of all
members of the Council.
It is necessary to hold a public hearing preceded by two weeks published and posted notice.
The statute also requires that notice of hearing be mailed to each property owner affected by the
proposed vacation at least 10 days before the hearing. As we discussed, we should have WSB
prepare a proper legal description of the area to be vacated and that can then be attached as Exhibit A
where indicated in the enclosed documents. This needs to be done before the notice is published.

MEMO
• DATE: 12/13/00 MEETING DATE: 12/19/00
TO: Planning Commissioners
FROM: Susan Henry, Assistant City Manager
RE: Public Hearing: Walgreens Development
Requested Action:
On December 19, 2000, the Planning Commission will hold the public hearing for the proposed
Walgreens store for the comer of Silver Lake Road and 37`h Avenue North. The site plan shows a
14,490 square foot Walgreen's store with a drive-thru pharmacy on the site. Notification has been
sent to the property owners within.350 feet of the proposed development. TOLD Development
Company has submitted a formal petition to the City for the following four requests:
(1) Petition for Rezoning
(2) Lot Combination
(3) Petition for Sign Variance
(4) Application for Conditional Use Permit
Background:
TOLD Development Co. (the petitioner) presented information at a Concept Review on October 17,
2000. At the November 21, 2000 Planning Commission meeting, the petitioner presented the results
of its neighborhood meeting held on November 15 and presented other general information to the
Planning Commission to prepare for the public hearing.
As stated above, TOLD Development Co. has submitted four petitions for its development. Staff met
with the petitioner upon final site plan submittal and has prepared the following comments as it
relates to the request:
(1) Petition for Rezoning:
The petitioner is requesting that Lot 3, Block 1, Apache Terrace, 2"d Addition by rezoned from an
Industrial to a Commercial zoning district. This is appropriate for such request.
(2) Lot Combination:
The petitioner wishes to combine the above-mentioned lot (Lot 3, Block 1, Apache Terrace, and 2nd
Addition)with Lot 2, Block 1, Apache Terrace (Amoco site). The petitioner's intent to purchase both
pieces of stated properties for the Walgreen's development is contingent upon necessary city
approvals. According to the, City. Attorney's office, these two parcels-can be combined with a
relatively simple recorded document and it will not be necessary to replat.
(3) Petition for Sign Variance:
The petitioner is requesting a sign variance to allow for a ground (or monument sign) consisting of
50 square feet of copy on each side, for a total surface copy area of 100 square feet, with a two line
electronic reader board on each side.
The petitioner's sign variance request is two-fold: (a) sign surface area: the petitioner is requesting
100 square feet of total copy on two sides, while city code states the maximum sign copy surface
• area is 68 square feet. This request exceeds the existing code by 32 square feet; (b) electronic sign
request: currently animated/flashing signs are prohibited in the city code.
Here's more details about the electronic portion of the sign: the two electronic lines are 8 inches high
each, which equates to 13.33 square feet per side at 10 feet wide. The total proposed ground sign
Walgreens Public Hearing —p.2
• is 8 feet high, with 5 feet of electronic copy area on top of a 3 feet base. The petitioner does not
propose berming beneath the base. City code states that ground signs may not exceed 8 feet in total
height, including base, copy area, and berming. The petitioner meets this requirement.
The petitioner has stated he is unsure if they electronic sign has the capability of displaying more
than one font, however, the sign can be limited to one style if.that is the City's preference. The color
of the lettering for the electronic portion of the sign is red.
The petitioner has acknowledged the electronic sign's ability to flash and the city's code on
prohibiting flashing signs. The petitioner has stated to have the "sign change at no more than five-
minute intervals, or some other time period that is acceptable to the City."The petitioner suggests
this could be written in the development agreement, if the City is agreeable to the electronic sign.
(4) Conditional Use Permit:
The petitioner is requesting a conditional use permit for a two-lane drive-thru pharmacy for the north
side of the building. According to the plan, the 15-foot drive aisle meets the City's requirements.
According to the petitioner, the drive-thru does not utilize a loudspeaker system, and is for drop-off
and pick-up of prescriptions only. The site plan has been submitted to the police and rice
departments for their review and staff will give a verbal report at the public hearing.
Additional Issues:
(1) Stormwater Pond:
The City Engineer has requested a stormwater water retention pond on the site due to the
requirements of the 1998 Comprehensive Storm Water Management Plan. The petitioner has been
agreeable in doing so (see Sigma engineering.plans and City Engineer Todd Hubmers' comments).
• (2) Site Lighting:
The petitioner plans for lighting complimentary to city design standards, and has been working with
the City Engineer on this. Most of the parking lot lighting will be shoebox lighting; in addition, some
decorative lighting is planned (see site plan and lighting specifications). At the neighborhood
meeting, the issue of site lighting came up as it relates to keeping the garbage area to the rear of
the building well lit for safety purposes. The petitioner plans to do this.
(3) Garbage:
The plan calls for a secured garbage area.
(4) Easements:
The City Engineer has reviewed the easements on the plan and recommends approval of the
petitioner's plan.
(5) Landscaping:
The landscaping calls for the appropriate landscaping. Irrigation is planned, according to the
petitioner. The petitioner noted that a 3 foot high shrub will be installed along 37`h Avenue North to
screen headlights.
(6) Curb Cuts:
The petitioner has received approval for the proposed Silver Lake Road curb cut (see letter from
Ramsey County). The petitioner does not yet have the necessary approvals as it relates to 37`h
Avenue North curb cut; however, there is confusion as to who has control of the roadway(Ramsey
or Hennepin Counties, or the City). This is in the process of being resolved by the City Engineer.
• (7) Wall signs:
The proposed wall signs are within the City's requirements. The total wall signage planned for the
store is 284.4 square feet. City ordinance states the petitioner may have up to 150 square feet of
wall sign per right of way.
• Walgreen's Public Hearing —p.3.
(8) Engineering Issues:
Please see the letter from WSB and Associates noting the concerns of the City Engineer as it
pertains to the development site.
(9) Public Safety Design and Review:
Staff will present a verbal report to the Planning Commission at the public hearing on December 19,
2000, pertaining to public safety after the police and fire departments have had a chance to review
the site plan. The two city departments have been given the site plan to review for traffic hazards,
sight lines, and overall site issues from a pubic safety standpoint.
(10) Store Hours of Operation:
According to the petitioner, the store hours are expected to be 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. However, the
petitioner also has stated Walgreens doesn't typically set their hours until shortly before the store
opening. The City may want the hours specified as the development is approved.
(11) Rear Yard Setback:
The petitioner has pointed out the setback from the rear property line is 3 feet, and this is from the
drive aisle area.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the development, per staff comments in this memo, the City
Engineers'comments, and 37th Avenue curb cut approval, and Planning Commissioners' comments.
The Planning Commission will need to decide how to proceed with the petitioner's request for the
sign variance (i.e. if a hardship exists), especially as it pertains to the electronic portion of the sign.

Mr. Spencer Isom
Saint Anthony Village
3301 Silver Lake Road
St. Anthony,MN 55418-1699
Re: Proposed Walgreens Development
Northwest Corner of 37`h Avenue & Silver Lake Road
Dear Mr. Isom:
This letter is intended to describe our proposed development for a new Walgreens
pharmacy at the location of the existing vacated Amoco gas station and adjacent vacant
land on the northwest corner of 37`h Avenue and Silver Lake Road.
As you and I have discussed, this project requires a fairly involved approval process, and
as such I would like to make sure that I provide you with all of the information you need
in a timely manner. Any direction you could provide me with would be greatly
appreciated. I would like to begin the process as soon as possible, and would request that
we be placed on the October Planning Commission agenda for concept review.
Protect Description
Our project would involve the demolition of the existing Amoco gas station and car wash
buildings, along with the combination of the approximately 265 easterly feet of the
adjacent property owned by Ken Solie of Village Properties. We have binding purchase
agreements signed with both BP-Amoco and Mr. Solie.
A preliminary site plan is enclosed that shows a 14,490 square foot Walgreens with a
drive-thru pharmacy on the site. We would close the existing southerly access point on
Silver Lake Road and provide much more separation between'the two access points on
37`h Avenue than what currently exists. Our plan provides for the required setbacks to
the paved parking areas, and exceeds the minimum number of required parking stalls
with a total of 74. Although not shown on this preliminary plan, we would of course be
salvaging as many existing trees as possible, especially along the north side of the
property, and would be installing quality landscaping throughout the green spaces.
The architectural design of the building is intended for areas such as this where
• residential properties are in close proximity. As a neighborhood retailer, Walgreens has
developed a building exterior that utilizes pitched roofs with residential style shingles and
MINNEAPOLIS a MILWAUKEE
6385 Old Shady Oak Road,Suite 120• Eden Prairie,MN 55344 • (952)278-9000 Fax(952)278.7574
subdued signage to fit within their surrounding. In addition, our building would be brick
• on all four sides and would utilize only quality materials.
The drive-thru operation of the building is located on the north side of the property facing
the rail line, and is thus directed away from all residences and pedestrian views. Only
prescriptions may be dropped off and picked up.at the drive-thru, and no loudspeaker
system is used in the process.
The loading area of the building is positioned on the west side facing the adjacent
industrial property and is fully screened from view by a brick wall that matches the
building exterior. Loading operations are conducted through a double door rather than a
loading dock and typically involve only one semi-trailer delivery per week.
Approvals
To facilitate development of a commercial use, we will be requesting that the vacant
parcel owned by Village Properties be re-zoned from it's current industrial classification
to that of the commercial zoning existing on the Amoco property. We would work with
Mr. Solie to see that the final platting process he has already commenced is carried out in
the manner required for our parcel. In a previous meeting with Mr. Momson it sounded
as though an administrative subdivision rather than preliminary and final platting may be
possible. Please let me.know the most efficient process to follow.
I have directed.our architect to consult the St. Anthony zoning ordinances with respect to
parking requirements and setbacks, and to the best of my knowledge we are in
compliance with all governing regulations. Our building and site signage will be
designed to meet the St. Anthony signage criteria, and can be submitted whenever
appropriate. I understand that we will'need to request a conditional use permit for the
drive-thru pharmacy operation.
Tax Increment Assistance
As I understand it from my meeting with yourself and Mr. Morrison, there may be TIF
funds that were set aside for this property some time ago. Given the costs associated with
our redevelopment, specifically the environmental clean-up that we expect, the poor soils
conditions that will require an expensive foundation system, and the significant grading
and demolition that is required, we would certainly like to pursue the possibility of tax
increment assistance.
I believe our project would not only remove a defunct store, but also would add to the
Saint Anthony tax base, and create a quality project. In addition, a national retailer with a
stable financial position could help stimulate investment and job creation elsewhere in the
area. TOLD would be leasing the building to Walgreens for a minimum of twenty years
so you can be confident that everyone involved will be making a long-term commitment
to the community.
• Spencer, I look forward to working with you, the Planning Commission and the City
Council to make this project a reality. We have been trying for nearly three years to find
a home for our client in Saint Anthony. With your help, I'm confident we can develop a
project that everyone involved with will be proud of. Please contact me at 952-278-0118
if you would like any additional information.
Sincerely,
Mike Kalscheur

Re: Proposed Walgreens Development
Northwest Corner of 37th Avenue& Silver Lake Road
Dear Ms. Henry:
Enclosed are the documents that make up our formal application for development of a
Walgreens Pharmacy at the northwest corner of Silver Lake Road and 37`h Avenue.
Specifically, I have included five sets of full size plans.dated 11/30/00 and one 11 x 17
• set of the following drawings:
TO Title Sheet
AS 1 Site Plan
Ll Landscape Plan
Al Building Elevations
SLl Site Lighting Plan
Please understand that we are submitting our engineering plans to WSB this week, will
«1Q11 conullents into our drawings, and will resubmit pions w both
yourself and WSB upon completion.
The following application forms and fees for the four actions required on this project are
included:
1. Petition for Rezoning
2. Petition for Sign Variance
3. Application for Conditional Use Permit
4. Lot Combination(submitted on Subdivision/Platting form)
In accordance with the application forms, a brief description of the requests is provided
below. In addition, a project description submitted earlier is also attached.

6385 Old Shady Oak Road,Suite 120•Eden Prairie,MN 55344 • (952)278.9000 Fax(952)278-7574
• Petition for Rezoning
We are requesting that Lot 3, Block 1, Apache Terrace, 2nd Addition be rezoned from
Industrial to Commercial. This would allow us to combine the vacant industrial parcel
with the existing commercially zoned Amoco property and make our proposed retail use
compatible with the zoning. Because of the small size_of the Amoco'property., our
feeling is that the adjacent industrial.property will be needed for any proposed
commercial development, and that commercial development is certainly the highest and
best use for this location.
Since the vast majority of the properties within 350 feet of ours are residential, we have
included a list of these property owners rather than a drawing indicating their property
locations. I hope you will find this acceptable.
Petition for Sign Variance
We are requesting that we be allowed to construct a single monument sign that is eight
feet high and ten feet wide, and includes 50 square feet of copy surface on each side (100
square feet in total). We are also requesting that a two line electronic readerboard be
allowed.
Because our building is a stand-alone building, and therefore does not meet the strict
definition of a shopping center, a Comprehensive Sign Plan is not required. At the same
• time, our building size is typical of neighborhood.shopping centers or.strip malls.
Because of this, I have included a Comprehensive Sign Plan with my application, and
would ask that our building be treated as though it were a shopping center or strip mall.
By viewing our building as a strip mall under 75,000 square feet in size,.the Planning
Commission and City Council could consider our sign plan as a whole and approve a
ground sign with an area of up to 150 square feet.
Our Comprehensive Sign Plan is sensitive to the surroundings and in scale with the
building as a whole. We have reduced the size of the wall signs on our building to cover
unly about 5% of iue building, surface area, and limited the signs to two sides of the
building. This is only one third of the 15% allowed by code. We feel that.a slightly
larger ground sign(16 square feet per side), accompanied with dramatically reduced
building signs is,a better solution than having three timesmore wall sign area coupled
with a slightly smaller ground sign as would otherwise be allowed. I hope that the City
Staff, Planning Commission and Council will use their discretion and agree with our
intent to have a total sign plan that is in scale with our building and sensitive to the
surrounding area.
Further, we understand that flashing signs are not allowed. Since an electronic
readerboard could have the physical ability to "flash",we would certainly agree to have
our sign change its message at no more than five-minute intervals, or some other time
period that is acceptable to the City. This condition could be written into our
development agreement as a condition of approval.
This variance would not be detrimental to the public welfare or to other property in the
neighborhood, and would be based on our buildings unique condition as a stand alone
retailer that.is neither very large (and therefore under different guidelines) or of a typical
smaller size stand-alone retailer where the sign code provides for a design that is in scale
with the overall project.
Conditional Use Permit
Our application also includes a conditional use permit request related to the drive-thru
pharmacy. We are requesting approval of a two lane drive-thru on the north side of the
building, away from the residences to the south and not in direct view of the two primary
roadway frontages. The drive-thru does not utilize a loudspeaker system, and is for drop-
off and pick-up of prescriptions only. (i.e. no other items may be purchased thru the
drive-thru window).
The drive-thru is primarily intended as a service to elderly customers and parents with ill
children. Of course any customer may use the service, but a typical Walgreens sees far
less traffic than other traditional drive-thru users such as fast food and banks.
This conditional use would not be detrimental to the health, safety nr apnp-1 ,,.oif,ro nf'
the public, nor would it adversely affect property values nearby. The use is specifically
listed in the commercial zoning district, and is an integral.part of new Walgreens stores.
The concept has been deemed by Walgreens as.a necessary part of their new stores; and
accepted by the public as a desirable shopping amenity.
Lot Combination
We are proposing to combine the two lots shown in our drawings, and have included an
application form for subdivision and platting. From our conversations with the City
Attorney, it appears this combination can be done with a fairly simple document and no
formal procedure from the Planning Commission or City Council. However, I have
included the application because it Is iiie closest one in funs to what we are doing, and
have included the fee that would be assessed for a subdivision.
I hope you find our application complete and well designed, and thank you, the Planning
Commission, City Council and other staff members that have helped us thus far in our
process. We look forward to developing a successful project that will help improve an
already wonderful community.

Re: Review of Proposed Walgmen's Site in the City of St. Anthony
WSB Project No. 1065-52
Dear Sue:
The following documents regarding the above site have been received and reviewed:
• Pond outlet control structure detail;hydrologic calculations;preliminary site plan faxed on 11/30/00,prepared by
Sigma Development,Inc.
• Site plan submittal prepared by Told Development Co.,dated 11/30/00.
Based on our review of the above documents and conversations with the City staff and the developer, the following
comments are made:
o The proposed westerly entrance to the site from 371 Avenue North should be aligned with Belden Drive on the
south side of 37te Avenue.
• • Access permits to Silver Lake Road and 37`' Avenue will need to be acquired from the County and copies
submitted to the City of St.Anthony.
• The proposed site discharges directly to Silver Lake. Therefore,treatment to NURP recommended standards will
be required. However, due to site restrictions, it is suggested that a 5:1 slope could replace the 10:1 bench
requirement at the normal water elevation.
• The developer should receive approval of the development plan from the MPCA.
• Due to existing soil contamination,the pond should be lined to address any concerns of the MPCA.
• The outlet from the proposed ponding area should provide skimming for floatable materials. This may be
accomplished by submerging the outlet pipe below the normal water elevation. In regard to the proposed outlet
structure,the top of casting on the manhole should be an open grate set at an elevation below the overflow so as
to provide an emergency outlet in the case that the primary outlet is plugged or iced up during spring conditions.
If you have any questions regarding this matter,please call me at(763)277-5782.

Dear Mr. Kalscheur:
The Ramsey County Public Works Department has reviewed the proposed site plan and
survey for construction of a Walgreens store in Saint Anthony at 37`h Avenue and Silver
Lake Road.
Ramsey County has the following comments regarding access and traffic flow.
I. Ramsey County is in agreement with the proposed access configuration on Silver
Lake Road. This includes closing the two existing access points and constructing a
new right in/right out access to Silver Lake Road immediately north of the existing
northern access point.
2. An existing catch basin is in place on Silver Lake Road where the new driveway is
proposed. This catch basin will need to be relocated to the north. You may wish to
consider shifting the driveway slightly to the south in order to avoid this catch basin.
3. The County is still in the process of completing the construction of the bridge north of
this site. This will include median installation, bituminous overlay and restoration
next spring. We will coordinate our work with the development of this site to avoid
any possible duplication of efforts.
4. An access permit from Ramsey County will be required. We would prefer if the
developer rather than the contractor acquired this permit. This can be done in the
spring prior to construction and can be coordinated through myself.

Re: Final Plat of APACHE TERRACE 2ND ADDITION.
Dear Mayor Cavanaugh and Members of the Council:
I have reviewed the Final Plat of APACHE TERRACE 2°d ADDITION being proposed by
Village North, LLP and Apache Animal Medicine, P.A., and have the following comments:
1. My letter of September 10, 2000 to the Planning Commission regarding the Preliminary
Plat, a copy of which is attached for your reference, discusses various matters relating to the plat and
the ordinance requirements.
2. The final plat is essentially the same as the Preliminary Plat referred to in my previous
letter, except that the line between Lots 2 and 3 has been moved to the east. Lot 3 originally had a
frontage of 313.36 feet on-37'Avenue N.E. and it now has a frontage of 265 feet. Although Lot 3 is
reduced in size, it still meets the requirements of the ordinances. This change also serves to increase the
space available for parking for the building on Lot 2, which is an advantage.
3. As you probably know, it is the intention of Mr. Solie to sell Lot 3 to the developer of
• the property to the east for a Walgreen's Store. If this occurs, Lot 3 and the property to the east can
DORSEY & WHITNEY LLP

Page 2.
be combined with a relatively simple recorded document, and it will not be necessary to replat those
two parcels as one lot.
4. I call your attention to the 20-foot utility easement shown along the east line of Lot 3.
This is an existing utility easement of 10 feet per document No. 24546738 and an additional 10 feet
which is being dedicated in the plat. With the dedication of this easement, no part of the Walgreen's
building can be located on this 20-foot strip.
5. The owners of the animal clinic had hoped to include a portion of the railroad right of
way in Lot 1; but there were delays in establishing good title to the right of way. For this reason, they
have left the railroad property out of the plat and will need to combine it with Lot 1 at a later date.
Again, this combination can be done with a relatively simple document to be recorded in the real estate
records, and it would not be necessary to replat the property at that time.
• approval, but if you have an further questions,
6. I believe the plat is now ready for app o y y q ,
please let me know.
A uly yours,
William R. Soth

RE: Response to City of St. Anthony Preliminary Plan-Approval Status
Proposed Walgreens at 37`" Avenue North and Silver Lake Road, St. Anthony, MN
Dear Ms. Henry:
The purpose of this letter is to respond to the City of St. Anthony's Review of Proposed
Walgreen's Site in the City of St. Anthony, dated December 7, 2000. The following
information is in response to the comments provided to Sigma:
Item 1: The proposed-westerly entrance to the site from 37 1' Avenue North should be
aligned with Belden Drive'on the south side of 37" Avenue.
• Response: The alignment of the Walgreens entrance and Beldon Drive was
addressed and coordinated with TOLD Development and is now shown on the
preliminary plan, Sheet C1 .
Item 2: Access permits to Silver Lake Road and 37" Avenue will need to be acquired
from the County and copies submitted to the City of St. Anthony.
Response: This item will be addressed at a later time and will be coordinated
with TOLD Development.
Item 3: Storm water treatment to NURP recommended standards will be required.
Response: The NURP recommended standards are being met by providing 0.25
ac-ft of dead storage (see hydrologic calculations). A slope of 5:1 is being used
instead of the 10:1 bench requirement at the normal water elevation. Due to
lot size limitations, the live storage discharge requirements can not be met, as
shown in the hydrologic calculations. This will be addressed in the final
engineering process with input from the city.
Item 4: The developer should receive approval of the development plan from the MPCA.
Response: This will be addressed with the final engineering.
Item 5: Due to existing soil contamination, the pond should be lined to address any
concerns of the MPCA.
® Response: The pond liner will be addressed at a later time with the MPCA
approval process.

Item 6: The outlet from the proposed ponding area should provide skimming for
floatable materials. This may be accomplished by submerging the outlet pipe
below the normal water elevation. In regard to the proposed outlet control
structure, the top of casting on the manhole should be an open grate set at an
elevation below the overflow so as to provide an emergency outlet in the case
of the primary outlet is plugged or iced up during spring conditions.
Response: The outlet pipe is shown submerged 1 foot below normal water
elevation. An additional skimmer will be addressed at a later time with the final
engineering process. The outlet control structure type and configuration will be
furthur addressed in final design.
Please feel free to contact us at 414-768-7140 with any questions regarding this response.

11 be presented at a later meeting for future discussion.
12 Hodson asked if the City acquired the Custom Liquidators building, is it something that could be

14 rounding area could be developed and other projects integrated into that site.

6 review this matter. Bergstrom and Stille volunteered to be members of the subgroup to provide
7 some research and input to the Planning Commission and ultimately the City Council.

10 0. Neighborhood Meeting Report re: Proposed Walgreen's Store for the Corner of Silver Lake
Road and 37th Avenue.
12 Bergstrom acknowledged that Mr. Mike Kalscheur of TOLD Development was present to discuss
13 the neighborhood meeting report for the proposed Walgreen's Store for the corner.of Silver Lake
14 Road and 37th Avenue North.
. 15 Mr. Kalscheur reported that the neighborhood meeting was held last Wednesday,and that.a mailer
16 had been sent out to residences within a 350-foot radius. The residents were invited to attend the
17 Neighborhood Meeting so that issues could be addressed. Several residents appeared at the meeting,
18 and Mr.Kalscheur felt that the meeting was positive and an excellent exchange of information. One
19 issue that was of significance was the site lighting. Mr. Kalscheur reminded the Commission that
20 Walgreen's had agreed to utilize a certain type of lighting that is consistent with the plans that the
21 City has agreed upon. Different specific styles of lighting were discussed by Mr.Kalscheur and he
22 explained some types of lighting that various existing Walgreen's store have used. The Walgreen's
23 intent is to have an agreeable balance that.would suit the surrounding residents as well as the City
24 and Walgreen's. Mr. Kalscheur would continue to work with Assistant City Manager Sue Henry
25 specifically on the lighting issue.
26 In summary, Mr. Kalscheur noted that the design plans would be available for the Commission's
27 review at the December 2000 meeting: Additionally, Mr. Kalscheur noted that Walgreen's is in-
28 vestigating types of signs that would be used for the new store.
29 Bergstrom noted that the Planning Commission understands that Walgreens and any commercial
30 establishment needs to have light levels that are safe. Additionally, most everyone would like the
31 lighting to be contained on the site as much as possible. He noted that the Planning Commission's
32 intent was to encourage a certain type of style of outdoor lighting for the new store,but that the City
33 encouraged Walgreen's to have a type of lighting that meets the store's expectations as well.
034 Bergstrom acknowledged that the concept review for the Walgreen's store has been helpful and he
35 L_"banked Mr.Kalscheur for holding the neighborhood meeting to encourage input from the residents.

RE: Electronic Signs - Issues Report
Requested Action:
Please review Chapter 1400 of the City's code as it relates to the issues mentioned below on the
subject.of electronic signs.
Background:
As you know, the City is contemplating a monument sign for the front of City Hall. The concept plan
for the proposed electronic monument sign includes the capability for the sign to "flash," or have
"animation"which is currently prohibited in St. Anthony's city code. Walgreen's is also proposing an
electronic.sign for their development. Upon review of the City monument sign concept and in light
of the Walgreen's request, the City monument sign subcommittee has decided to study the electronic
sign issue and look at potential changes to the sign code as it relates to electronic signs. The
following are'issues to consider as the city code relates to electronic signs:
(1)'.' Maximum number of copy lines.
.• (2) How long one message stays up before it changes.
(3) Acceptable colors.
(4) Sign copy surface area.
(5) Size of lettering.
(6) What to call electronic signs in the code.
(7) Multi-sided signs.
(8) Setback/easement requirements
(9) Required Maintenance (no burned out bulbs)
I have reviewed several city codes from the.League of Minnesota Cities Research Department
pertaining to electronic signs.- When it comes to flashing or animated signs, most cities prohibit
them. The cities that do have electronic signs as permissible had stipulations in the code, such as
how often the message can change. One city had a public service requirement attached for any
business sign. While the codes I looked did not.cover certain top_ ics, such as size or color, the
Commission may want to consider those areas.
For your information, I have attached the a-mails from Commissioners Doug Bergstrom and Randy
Stille on the subject.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff does not have a recommendation at this time.

Subject: signs
Here are my thoughts on the ordinance change:
Section 1400.07, Subd 15 (Prohibited Signs) I am inclined to have a longer period of time
between changes. Not that it's right, but I think Woodbury's is twice per day. My thought is
maybe once per hour or V2 hour. Good point to discuss with the commission.
Section 1400.10, Subd 3 (Surface Area) Instead of"Electronic Animated Signs", I would put
"Electric Signs"to be consistent with our definition. I excluded "Animated" as I still would consider
Animated signs to be prohibited. (Section 1400.07 Subd. 15). However, as I think of this issue,
these signs have animation capacity, but we don't want them to animate. This may need to be
addressed.
Also,to be consistent, maybe we should add Subd. 5"Electric Signs having 2 or more copy
surfaces may have up to 32 feet square feet for all surfaces." This is 2 times the single side copy
surface allowance, which is what is allowed in number 2 above. This would in affect limit larger
multisided signs.
With regard to the 16 square foot proposal, maybe we should see the size Walgreens is looking
for so we do not have to look for a variance.
Section 1400.10, Subd,.5 (Design and Location) Let's see if we could substitute 15 foot setback
requirement with another number, maybe 5 or 10 feet so we do not have to give up any more
structure than we have to. We should look to see just where our sign would go and adjust
• accordingly.
Section 1400.06 Subd. 5 (Maintenance) I am not good at wordsmithing here, but should we
consider implementing a requirement to maintain the electronic nature of these signs? In other
words, no burned out light bulbs.
Give me a call at work if you need to discuss. (612-667-8091)
Sorrty this is late. I typed the wrong address in otherwise you would have had this last night.

Subject: Electronic sign ordinance changes
Folks,
Here are my thoughts on what we need to change in the current ordinances to reasonably allow
electronic signs:
1. Section 1400.04, Subd. 6 (Changeable Copy Sign); Redefine as"Any sign which is
.characterized by manually changeable copy, ...°. This will distinguish this category from
signs that are changed electronically.
2. Section 1400.07, Subd. 15(Prohibited Signs); Add definition such as"Except ground signs
that have electronic changeable copy, any portion of which changes less than once per
minute". I'm not sure what the right frequency of change is here; could also be different than
that-your thoughts?
3. Section 1400.10, Subd 3. (Surface Area); Add "(4); Electronic animated signage may not
exceed 16 square feet of any sign copy surface". I believe this is the size of the sign we
looked at last week.
4. Section 1400.10, Subd. 5. (Design and Location); Modify to"Signs must be located at least
15 feet.from any street". This would allow the City to put up its sign at the easement limits on
Silver Lake Road.
That's all I can see; please comment. Thanks.
Doug

29 Cavanaugh inquired about a fallback plan if concrete could not be poured. Mr. Hubmer said eve-
30 rything will be grated with gravel,the only thing missing would be the concrete if the weather

36 projects.

1 Deb Henry from the audience stated that she had placed a call fora damage problem and.was
2 asked for a claim number. She mentioned that she had not been given a claim number. Mr.
3 Hubmer stated that he was aware of the situation and he would pursue a remedy.
4 One of the residents in the audience mentioned her concern about the lowering of the street. She
5 did not feel that the issue had been communicated accurately to the residents. Mr. Hubmer noted
6 that it had been discussed that certain areas of the street would be lowered approximately 1 - to 1
7 Meet with retaining walls for some homes. The resident felt that this was a surprise to everyone
8 living on that street and that information had not been communicated appropriately. The resident
9 also indicated she would appreciate the driveways being poured with concrete before winter so
10 that gravel does not need to be the surface beneath the snow on the driveways.
11 Another resident discussed with Mr. Hubmer the possibility of using a snowblower and shovel
12 on a gravel surface. Mr. Hubmer assured the resident that gravel freezes in the winter and it is
13 possible to shovel and use a snowblower on such a surface. Although it is not an ideal condition,
14 Mr. Hubmer stated that it is possible to maintain during the winter.
15 Cavanaugh noted that the City would be involved in some way for maintaining the driveways
® 16 over the winter that are not poured with concrete.
17 Mr. Hubmer offered to visit the construction site on Wednesday and speak with residents about
18 the project and their concerns.
19 A resident from the audience inquired about the insurance settlement for the sanitary sewer
20 backup. Cavanaugh stated that an offer must be made from the insurance company and that
21 would be the starting point for negotiations or settlement.
22 A resident living at 2816 29th Avenue inquired which direction the storm water runoff flows.
23 Mr. Hubmer noted that the water runs east towards Silver Lake Road, and a small section that
24 flows back towards Roosevelt.
25 Mr. Hubmer stated that he has appreciated the residents' patience on the 29th Avenue project. He
26 would request that if residents have concerns to contact the construction manager or himself.
27 Some of the residents in the audience noted that they have approached the construction crew
28 repeatedly. Cavanaugh noted that Mr. Hubmer would be visiting the construction site and some
29 of the concerns and issues may be resolved.
30 Cavanaugh encouraged the residents to continue to speak with the construction manager.
31 Mayor Cavanaugh asked for input from the audience on any issue that is not on the regular
32 Council agenda, and hearing none, moved forward.

3 Agenda consisted of-
4 1. City Council Meeting Minutes of Octo-c:24, 2000.
5 Change the abbreviation of"WMO" to "MMRWMO" beginning on page 6 and
6 throughout the rest of the minutes where it appears.
7 2. Licenses and Permits. Cavanaugh had concerns about the Motor Vehicle Starting
8 License of All Star Metro Towing. He has requested that Staff look into the issues he
9 raised, although he stated his concerns would not prevent him from voting to approve the
10 License.
11 3. Claims.
12 Motion carried unanimously.
13 VIII. PUBLIC HEARINGS.
• -14 None.
15 IX. GENERAL POLICY BUSINESS OF THE COUNCIL.
16 A. Resolution 00-087 re: Northwest Youth and Family Services.
17 Cavanaugh recommended that the Council table this issue because Councilmember Amy Sparks
18 is currently drafting a letter in response to the request from Northwest Youth and Family
19 Services. Thuesen inquired about the basis for the concerns of the other Councilmembers.
20 Sparks noted that the City is currently investigating how much the service offered by Northwest
21 Youth and Family Services would be utilized by the City, and if the contribution that is being
22 considered is being justified.
23 Thuesen cautioned the Council against denying the service unless a similar service could be insti-
24 tuted. Sparks noted that such.an issue.is part of the investigation.
25 B. Resolution 00-089 re: Sale of Liquor in Grocery Stores.
26 Morrison noted that this is a big issue for the grocery stores and the Minnesota Municipal Bever-
27 age Association. The City is currently a member of the Minnesota Municipal Beverage Associa-
28 tion(MMBA). Apparently,this issue is top priority for the MMBA and is going to various City
29 Councils and asking the Councils to approve a resolution opposing the concept of allowing
30 liquor sales. Staff feels it is important that the City support the resolution from the MMBA.
31 Horst felt that it was possible that the MMBA was simply trying to protect profits.

.1 Thuesen noted that he agreed with the MMBA that it could encourage underage sales of liquor if .
2 sales were allowed through the grocery store.
3 Michael Larson,Liquor Operations Manager, was introduced and invited to address the Council.
4 Mr. Larson noted that the priority was to eliminate underage liquor sales. However, he agreed
5 with Horst in that profits were also trying to be protected.
6 Mr. Larson felt that if grocery stores would begin to sell liquor, it would encourage underage
7 sales because many of the grocery store employees are under the age of 21. Typically, liquor
8 stores only employ individuals 21 years of age or over.
9 In response to a question by Horst,Mr. Larson stated that there is a bill that has been created in
10 the legislature that would create a loophole that could encourage liquor sales to minors.
11 Cavanaugh stated that, although he approved of the Resolution,he opposes the involvement of
12 government in liquor sales.

1 E. ,Mako Alley Deed - Chet Makowske.
2 Mornson reviewed for the;Council that he has been working with Chet Makowske and Donald
3 Makowske'regarding the intent of Mako, Inc. to deed an alley(identified as Lot 13 in
4 Subdivision 377)to the City of St. Anthony. The property,which is classified as a common area
5 by the Hennepin County Assessors Office, has no taxes assessed.
6 The alley in question serves four families. Momson stated that he has reviewed this issue with
7 the Fire Chief and has not found any obstacles of note that would prevent.the transaction.
8 However, Morrison noted that he was unsure of the proper way to handle this unusual matter and
9 thus he invited the Makowskes to attend the Council meeting to discuss the issue in greater
10 detail.
11 The matter was discussed further and then Cavanaugh inquired of the feelings of the Council
12 about the prospect of inheriting an alley from the Makowskes. Horst noted that he would like to
13 hear from Jay Hartman, Public Works Director, and City Staff about the potential costs of main-
14 taining this property.
15 Mr. Chet Makowske provided a brief summary of the background of how the property for the al-
• 16 ley was obtained.-He stated that in the`early 1940's his folks bought piece of land. Many years
17 later, Mr. Makowske built his home in the middle of the field thinking that the road would be
18 placed in front of his house. Through a process, an alley has become a part of the property
19 around his home and is being shared by other families. Mr. Makowske stated that insurance has
20 been impossible to obtain for the alley property and he does not have any intended uses for the
21 property. In short, the Makowskes would like to give the property to the City.
22 Cavanaugh stated that he appreciated the Makowske's generosity and would refer this matter to
23 the Planning Commission. Additionally,Momson noted that the City would review the cost of
24 the maintenance for that property; however, he did not expect that cost to be high. After a review
25 from the Planning Commission, Staff would refer the matter to the City Attorney for final
26 consideration.
27 Horst inquired what role the Planning Commission would take in this issue. Moi. son clarified
28 that the Planning Commission would be reviewing the matter in more detail and providing a rec-
29 ommendation to the City. It is an unusual circumstance, and it was simply thought that the Plan-
30 ning Commission could provide further insight.
31 Horst noted that he does not foresee any further discussion is necessary and that he is not sure
32 specifically what the Planning Commission would need to review.
• 33 Cavanaugh noted that there are not any action items necessary on this issue at the meeting,and
34 that City Staff had enough direction to go forward on the issue. Momson noted that he was sim-
35 ply looking for input from the Council and would place this issue on the Planning Commission's

5 Cavanaugh noted that a representative from Short Elliott Hendrickson, Inc. ("S.E.H.")was in at-
6 tendance to provide the physical needs assessment report for the public facilities. In that respect,
7 Ms. Nancy Schultz was invited to address the Council.
8 Ms. Schultz began by stating that the purpose of the assessment is to evaluate the existing condi-
9 tion of St. Anthony's facilities and make recommendations for current and future improvements.
10 The Assessments would serve as a guide for an improvement plan and provide estimated costs
11 associated with the improvements.
12 The assessment report involves nine recently surveyed individual buildings, the Space Needs
13 Study for the Public Works Department, and the recently built City Hall and SAV 2.
1.4 The facilities included in the report can be fit into four groupings according to their improvement .
15 needs. Those four groups included: (1) Liquor Operations Building SAV 2, GAC_Plant, and
16 City Hall; (2) Booster Station, Well Houses, and Water Filtration Plant; (3) Fire Station#1 and
17 Public Works; and (4) Liquor Operations Building SAV 1 and Stonehouse:
18 The representative continued by detailing the proposed improvements and repairs to the facilities
19 as well as the anticipated costs and recommendations.
20 Cavanaugh reviewed some of the details on the "Executive Summary" page of the physical needs
21 assessment report and raised some issues and concerns for discussion and investigation.
22 Sparks noted that she would like.to implement into the City's budget for facility improvement
23 some aesthetic improvements to the Community Center.
24 Thuesen mentioned that he would like to increase the air quality of the Stonehouse. Mr. Larson,
25 Liquor Operations Manager, detailed for the Council the type of filter that is currently being used
26 to increase air quality.
27 Mornson mentioned that this issue, as well as retaining some restaurant consultants, should be an
28 issue for the goal setting retreat for next year. Additionally,Momson reported that the
29 Stonehouse building will be in need of repair shortly and other improvements could be
30 considered as part of the goal setting retreat.
31 Cavanaugh thanked Ms. Schultz from S.E.H. for her report and input.

11 be presented at a later meeting for future discussion.
12 Hodson asked if the City acquired the Custom Liquidators building, is it something that could be
13 considered for intergenerational youth space? This would be on a short-term basis until the sur-
14 rounding area could be developed and other projects integrated into that site.
15 Cavanaugh asked Ms. Schultz from S.E.H. to review the building and provide a report to the
• 16 Council. Mornson agreed that some due diligence would be in order with the building as,well as .
