Motion carried unanimously . During the past few years the City residents have registered complaints with the Council about what they perceive to be an increase in the number of planes taking off over the City each day . Mayor Sundland had written a letter to the Metropolitan Airport Commission expressing these concerns and indicated one resident, John Dotolo, 2616 West Armour Terrace, had recently called him to report he had counted,- 44 low-flying planes over his home one Sunday . The resident also indi- cated he had received a very unsatisfactory response when he made • this complaint to an airport official. It was agreed that another . letter, signed by all five Council members , should be directed to the eight Commissioners of the Metro Airport Commission to make them aware that the Council is receiving complaints from their constituents about the extent of air traffic over St. Anthony and to request the Commis- sion to see what they could do to divert some of the traffic away from this area. The July Fire Department report and liquor operations summary and the August 2nd staff notes were accepted as informational as was the six month investment report. The Metropolitan Council intends to follow up their August 2nd pre- sentation by developing a work program for the City 's capital improve- ment plan , according to Mr. Childs , who said this work program would be presented for Council consideration in September . The Manager indicated the budget transfers he recommended in Resolution 83-039 would reflect the actual salary and fringe payments expendi- tures- made in 1983 and would not create a deficit in the 1983 Budget. Motion by Councilman Ranallo and seconded by Councilman Letourneau to adopt Resolution 83-039 . RESOLUTION ' 83-039 • A RESOLUTION MODIFYING THE 1983 BUDGET Motion .carried unanimously.

ANTHONY PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES August 16 , 1983 The meeting was called to order by Chair Makowske at 7: 35 P .M. Present for roll call : Zawislak, Bowerman, Makowske, Bjorklund, Wagner, and Jones . Absent: Franzese . Also present: David Childs , City Manager; and Jerry Gilligan, Acting City Attorney . An omission in the July 19th minutes was corrected a's follows : Page 1, para. 2 : Add Commissioner Jones ' name to, those in attendance. Motion by Commissioner Bowerman and seconded by Commissioner Jones to approve as amended the minutes of the Planning Commission meeting held July 19 , 1983 . Motion carried unanimously . Mr. Gilligan, who was sitting in for William Soth, was introduced to • the Commissioners . The Commission will be represented by Chair Makowske at the next Council meeting , August 23rd. . At 7: 36 P .M. , the public hearing on the Elmwood Lutheran Church con- ditional use' permit request was continued with approximately 20 interested -persons in attendance: Dick Jones , 5157 - 6th Street N.E. , who said he was representing the church as a trustee, read his prepared statement reporting on the meeting August 4th between church officials and six neighbors to the south of the church property at which five alternatives to the proposal submitted 'July 19th were explored. , In his statement, Mr. Jones cited the various reasons the building committee had for not constructing the addition in any other way than they had originally proposed , including the architect' s advice that several suggestions might be structurally unsound and the fact that with all other alternate plans the additional restrooms and kitchen expansion would not provide the seating in the sanctuary would be reduced from the number proposed with the addition of a fellowship hall . Mr. Jones further contended that when the building permit for the existing building was issued in 1964 , tacit approval was given for the proposal as presented July 19th as well as for the future construction of a new sanctuary when the congregation can afford it. Mr. Jones reported the ardhitect 'Could not be present that 'evening' because -he was on vacation and would probably not be back- before the • August 23rd Council meeting. He added that the minutes of the meeting July 20, 1964 at which the Council had approved the building permit for the existing building had been found in the City files , but the -2- Planning Commission' s recommendation for such action seemed to be missing. He presented a print of the original site plans which had been drawn up June 7, 1963, which he indicated was fifteen months before the home at 3501 - 36th Street N.E. and 18 months prior ,to 'the construction of the Esau home at 3505 - 36th Avenue N.E. to the south of the church property. Commissioner Jones indicated he had visited the site and disagreed that the structure would only be the height of a two story house, saying Mr. Esau would actually be facing a building which is 34 feet higher than his property because of the higher elevation of the church site. The church trustee agreed there was a variation in the height of the bank at the south end of the lot and later indicated that though the total elevation of the church addition would be 24 . 8 feet , with the existing grade, the building would actually be an additional six feet higher for the Antczak property and between seven or eight feet higher than the Esau home . Commissioner Bowerman questioned the implication that the 1964 Council had given complete approval to all the plans presented to them at that time , believing they would not have approved any future plans without having detailed site plans for those improvements . He also asked whether the architect had taken core testings on which he had based his advice that the existing footings might not be adequate to support a second floor to which Mr . Jones responded that no such testings -had been taken to date but that alternate would still not be • acceptable to the building committee because with it the larger kitchen, narthex and restrooms the congregation needs would not be provided. Reverend Joseph Ol Valtinson, Jr . , 5215 Pierce Street N.E. , pastor of the Elmwood church, indicated he perceives his church provides a service to the community having a food shelf which provides for those who need help in the area and a licensed psychologist who ministers to City residents as well as parishioners of the church . Because no agreement was- reached at the August 4th meeting, Pastor Valtinson said he was appealing to the Planning Commission to settle the dif- ferences fairly. He mentioned that in his own- case, his view of the whole City. of Minneapolis was obstructed when his neighbor built his home and another neighbor had sued that neighbor for the same reason. He also cited what he perceives would be a similar incident in Edina, where a fast growing church enlarged its parking lot over the objections of the neighbors and provided enough plantings to provide a buffer which made the expansion less objectionable. The minister indicated he didn.' t:believe the size of the addition would be much wider than a normal home with an attached garage. Commissioner- Bjorklund indicated his experience with estimating church property had caused him to expect the cost of the proposed addition would be, closer to $300, 000 than the $150 , 000 reported by Mr. ,Jones . in his statement since at $150 ,000 the church would only be paying $20 . 23 per square foot, a completely unrealistic. .figure with today' s • construction costs . Reverend Valtinson indicated the cost estimate had come-from a contractor who was willing to let church members do the finishing work. : The minister assured the Commissioner that the s -3- • building constructed with donated labor would meet all state and city codes and standards . Commissioner Bjorklund then questioned whether the same method of calculation had been applied to reach the $750 ,000 cost estimated for the future sanctuary addition on the north which he said he would expect would cost $101 per foot for the same size addition as on the south. Mr. Jones told him he was also surprised when the architect had quoted those figures to him, but believed the difference could be accounted for because the two additions would not be alike at all since the addition on the south would resemble a single family con- struction and on the other hand, the. sanctuary would require laminated beams , stained glass windows and a lot more brick and stone work. The $750 , 000 represented a finished, much larger addition, where the contractor' s estimate for the current proposal , which the architect had said could run between $200 , 000 and $225 ,000, but not $300 , 000 , represented the builder' s costs for roughing the structure in and permitting the church members to do all the painting and tile instal- lation. He added that the church could not afford the more expensive addition at this time. An Elmwood deacon , Martin Gavin, 141 Hartman Circle , cited the fact that the church had traded the property where the Esau home is now for the property to the north- with the Billman Construction Company and perceived this proposal as a continuation of the "give and take" process . He said he is a plumbing inspector for the City of Minneapolis and would supply much of the plumbing_, labor. and materials - and--anoth-er church member who is a builder has indicated he would provide the materials at cost. Mr. Gavin therefore indicated he believed a cost of between $150 , 000 and $200 , 000 would not be unrealistic for the southern expansion. In response to the claim that the properties to the south of the church would be harmed by the addition, Mr. Gavin said those homes already have a buffer of a large cottonwood tree and two evergreens to shield their view, as illustrated in the pictures taken by another parishioner, Dennis Olson , 3117 Rankin Road, which were passed around for the Commission and staff to see . The plumbing inspector also stated all water and sewer service was in the south end of the building and it would be very expensive to build the kitchen or restrooms on the north side . When Commissioner Bjorklund inquired why the church didn' t just add more church services as other Lutheran churches do, if they are needed, Mr. Gavin told him the Elmwood church philosophy is family oriented and the Sunday school classes are held so the children and parents can attend the church services as a family. He said there would be another service added this month to follow the Sunday school which would give the families a choice of services to attend, but, adding another service would not solve the lack of class space. The deacon admitted that up to three years ago, there had been only 20 - 30 Elmwood parishioners attending regularly , but ,said that number -had grown to over 350 , plus children, a: figure the pastor corrected to "closer to 200" . Mr. Olson indicated he was one of the first members of the congregation and said, "The Lord answered our prayers for more members abundantly by providing more than we would handle" in the existing facility . -4- The minister told the Chair he was certain the building committee would be amenable to providing opaque windows for the Sunday school rooms because that would prevent the children from being distracted during class . Commissioner Bowerman indicated he was having trouble making a decision on the proposal without seeing what actual elevations , exterior finish -and roof line would be provided. Mr. Jones said he was sorry he had not brought the elevation drawings which he had presented at the July 19th meeting back to this hearing , but assured the Commis- sioner that the building would be designed to match the fascia and roof line of the existing building as closely as possible. The elevation of the building above grade, he said, would be 24 feet 8 inches . Gundrun Hodenfield, 1401 Mooney Drive; Mary Jane Johnson, 3132 Silver Lake Road; and Paul Stewart, 3085 Old Highway 8, indicated they would be in favor of granting the permit but chose not to speak further to the issue at that time . Donald Esau, 3505 - .36th Avenue N.E. , read his prepared statement in which he reiterated his own and his neighbors ' objections to the construction of the addition on the south side of the existing build- ing and requested the City not compound what he perceives to be the original error in permitting the church to construct the existing building perpendicular to the adjoining homes on the south and only 15 feet from the lot line on that side at the same time the elevations of the church property were elevated approximately eight feet above the residential lots adjacent to it. He contended the proponents could not accurately indicate on the application form that the proposed addition would not be "detrimental to the health , safety , and general welfare" of at least two of the neighbors since he believes both he and the Antczaks would suffer decreased property values as a result of the addition and a personal loss to his family of the benefits of the new family room and deck he had added to the back of his home not fore- seeing an addition would be made to the existing church building . Mr . Esau then indicated he saw no relevance in the tradeoff of property 20 years ago to the current proposal and told the Commission members he has always considered the cottonwood tree on the church property to be a real nuisance and had intended asking that it be cut down . Commissioner Bowerman told Mr. Esau having homes in the City built perpendicular to each other and with less than 15 foot side yards is not unusual at all and the church could have built within five feet of the lot line under the City ordinance. He said his home on Croft Drive in which he lived for 15 years was only 72 feet from the lot . line and his neighbors back yard was also perpendicular to his . Mr. Esau still insisted the back yard setback requirement should have been applied in a case like this . Erling Weiberg, 3409 — 36th Avenue N.E. , read the written statement. from Larry and Sandy Antczak, who live directly south of the church at 3501 - 36th Avenue N.E. , who were away on vacation, in which they reiterated the objection they had made during the July 19th hearing to the expansion which, in their view, was "too large and too close to single family dwellings; could only intensify the water runoff problems 1 -5- they experience now, and would lower the market value of their home . " • They also raised the question of whether the addition might cut off the access to their property for emergency vehicles and power company service for the transformer in their back yard. Mr. Weiberg then told the Commission members he had served as spokes- person for the six affected property owners along 36th Avenue at the meeting with the, church officials and had been requested to present a petition, signed by 23 of his neighbors , representing 13 households on 36th Avenue and Wendhurst, against the addition which they perceive would be "injurious to property values of the existing homes" and requesting an environmental study, including the potential for water runoff damage and possible hazard of cutting off utility and Fire Department access to their homes , before final approval of any build- ing plan is given. In response to the latter, Commissioner Zawislak said he imagined NSP would follow their usual procedure of moving a transformer when access becomes difficult. Raul F . Cifuentes, who indicated he had moved to his home at 3413 36th Avenue N.E. in June of this year, asked why he had not been notified about the two hearings on this proposal. He was told the tax rolls which list the previous owner had been used for the mailing of notices and that person had apparently not returned the letter to him. Mr. Cifuentes indicated he believed the proposed addition would be a problem for all the residents on 36th with the increase of cars and noise on the property and said he would never have purchased the • home if the realtor had '"t61-d­h m­a15out the- proposed expansion.- ­He added that right now he has trouble listening to his own music on Sunday mornings because of the organ music coming from the church. His final point was his personal opinion that churches like Elmwood and St. Charles should . not be spending. money on expansions when there are so many people dying of starvation all over the world. - Commissioner Jones noted the proposed expansion would add 75 feet to the existing 60 foot church wall, resulting in a 135 foot long building for the neighbors to look at. He explored several other ways of preventing this., but Mr. Gavin told him the proposed plan was the only one the architect considered would be considered economically feasible for the additional room the church needs with the existing sewer and water service . When asked whether the architect would be available to answer the questions more specifically at the Council meeting , Mr. Jones said that person would not be able to attend that meeting either. The meeting was closed at 9 :05 P.M. , for Commission discussion and action. Mr. Gilligan indicated he would not be too concerned with any tentative expansion plans developed for the church in 1963 since he perceives the, Council in 1964 only approved the building plans for--the existing structure and not these plans . He told the Chair the City would .not be bound by any implied approval of the expansion in view of the passage of .20 years and changes in the neighbprhood makeup since that time . He .confirmed that a conditional use permit is only good for one year, if the approved use is not constructed. r. -6- Chair Makowske then stated that she perceives the question before the • Commission should be whether or not the proposal meets all three con- ditions which Minnesota and. City ordinances require must be satisfied before a conditional use permit can be authorized. There was a general consensus that the first and third questions could be answered af- firmatively by the applicants but there was a strong indication that the neighbors perceived some injury with the development of the proposal as requested. Commissioner Zawislak -indicated he did not believe the proposed height of the addition would be out of line with those of other dwellings in the City residential districts . Commissioner Bjorklund suggested that if a poll were taken of those who were present in the room at that moment or to the zoning map on the wall, it would be apparent that almost 90 percent of the homes have much more than 40 feet of backyard for recreational , etc. purposes. He, therefore , said he believed the norm in this regard had been violated with this application and told Commissioner Zawislak a 38 foot high building is the same as a three story building . Commissioner Bowerman indicated that, although he understood the congregation' s hesitancy to expend money on a more specific plan at this stage, he was still concerned that the Commission was forced to make a decision on what he perceives to be a very nebulous plan without positive site plans and no firm commitment about the landscaping, • drainage , actual height of the addition, etc . for the proposal . Chair Makowske agreed , saying she would also like to see the window treatment which would provide privacy for the neighbors since there is a great deal of difference between having a family living next door and having a whole congregation viewing your backyard. Commissioner Bjorklund said he agreed with the neighbors that there had not been a true cost analysis made for siting the addition else- where on the property and made the following motion: Motion by Commissioner Bjorklund and seconded by Chair Makowske to recommend Council denial of the conditional use permit which would allow the Elmwood Lutheran Church to add on to the existing church structure at 3615 Chelmsford Road, finding that the second require- ment in the application that "The proposed conditional use will not be detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity or injurious to property values or improvements in the vicinity" could not be answered affirmatively for the following reasons : (1) Property values for at least two of the adjacent properties to the south- could be adversely affected. (2) Plenty of available- land now exists on. the church site to accom- modate an addition .which would provide all the current_ needs of the .church without adversely affecting the neighbors .- . . . I I -7- (3) The 20 year old site plans which were considered by another Planning Commission are now invalidated because of the change in • the development of the adjacent neighborhood and the fact that they addressed the existing building and -not this proposal . (4) Estimated building costs given by the property owner did not fairly provide the Planning Commission with the ability of com- paring costs of alternate development construction. (5) Plumbing service advantages to proposed construction might also benefit an addition on the existing north side of the building . (6) Incomplete site plans addressing landscaping, exterior, and window finishing, drainage or building elevations were not available. (7) Noise encroachment would very probably result for the adjoining neighbors . (8) Major neighborhood and resident opposition was presented during the two hearings on the proposal , including a petition with 23 signatures, representing 13 homes in the same area . (9) The proposal appears to violate the community norm set for rear- yard enjoyment in a single family neighborhood by reduction in size, view, and general amenities . The motion recommending Council denial of the Elmwood request passed • unanimously . Mr. Childs was requested to let the Council members know that the Commission perceives this proposal because of the unique topography of the land, etc. , would require a personal inspection of the subject site by them. The meeting was recessed at 9 : 45 P .M. and reconvened at 9 :50 P .M. , for the public hearing on the petition for a sign variance which would allow for a sign to be placed on both sides of the existing pylon sign located at 2620 Highway 88 , to identify the LaPepiniere Montessori School and Day Care Center. The Chair read the notice of the hearing which had been mailed to all adjacent property owners within 350 feet of the subject site and published August 4th in the Bulletin. No one present reported failure to receive the notice or objected to its content. Marsh Everson, 6515 Barrie Road, Edina, president of the Montessori center, was present to answer questions about why. he believed his business , more than the existing merchants in the same shopping center , would require a lighted pylon sign to identify his facility, especially since such signage is permitted under the existing Sign Ordinance for only gas service stations and large shopping centers . He was told that ' the existing ".Bank" sign was grandfathered into the new ordinance for the bank which': had,-, left the' premises in March and that the only • reason the sign was still up was that the ordinance does not require it be removed until one year after the departure of the business it identified. He was also informed that the new ordinance also permits monument type signs only in industrial districts and -none would be permitted in a commercial district. a: -8- When asked what hardship he believes he would experience if the ordin- ance were adhered to, Mr. Everson responded that he had noticed trees • had obstructed the view of his building as he approached the center from the industrial park to the east and several of the tradesmen who . had remodeled the building for, the' school had reported they had a-hard time finding the school in- its new location. He told Com- missioner Jones the center cares for children from as far away as Columbia Heights and Roseville and some sort of identification is necessary to aid those who bring them to school to find the school . He also indicated the signage is necessary to identify the school to potential students . However, he admitted that most of -the children - are not really drop ins , but are required to attend the school for at least from six to eight hours a week. The center president said his wife had signed the petition for the variance and would have copies of the signage which they might request if they were not permitted to utilize the existing sign. He then showed the Commission members pictures of a similar sign a competitor in the Southdale Shopping Center. When Commissioner Bjorklund indicated he perceived other merchants in the same center operate successfully without this type of signage, Mr. Everson questioned the term "successfully" . Chair Makowske noted that this would be a lighted sign and told Mr . Everson other schools in the area have indicated no need for this type of signage to attract potential students who should have no -trouble • finding the school in that large shopping center . Commissioners Zawislak and Jones both perceived that the playground outside the building along side Highway 88 should serve as an immediate identification of the activity carried on within the building . Commissioners Bowerman and Wagner indicated they didn ' t deny the center needed some identification , but doubted the .school ' s situation was so much more unique than the other businesses in the same center that it required as much signage as was requested. Commissioner Jones agreed, saying he could see no reason why a shcool should require more identification than a commercial store since "yo.0 don' t pick a school in impulse as you do a pair of shoes" . At 10 :10 P.M. , the hearing was closed at which time Commissioner Bjorklund revealed that he has on occasion worked for Mr. Everson and Commissioner Zawislak indicated his daughter was employed by the center, which they perceived could appear to present a possible con- flict of interest for them both . Motion by -Commissioner Bowerman and seconded by Commissioner Wagner to recommend Council denial of the petition for a variance to the Sign Ordinance which would permit the LaPepinier Montessori School and Day . .Care- Center to be identified by substituting the two sided sign they . ,propose: .for .the existing "Bank" -sign on the fifteen foot pylon sign • - 'in -front of the building they rent at 2620 Highway 88, finding that: -9- • (1) It has not been demonstrated that there is a particular hardship which would result for the applicant if the strict letter of the City . regulations regarding signage were adhered to. (2) The applicant has ample liberty under the existing sign ordinance to advertise his business on the exterior of his establishment the same as other businesses in the same center. (3) The existing non-conforming "Bank" sign was grandfathered in with the new sign ordinance and was particular and relative only to that business which has since vacated the premises and there would appear to be no justification for continuing the use of the pylon sign for various and sundry other purposes . (4) Under the existing sign ordinance the applicant has ample liberty to advertise the business on the exterior of the establishment without using a- pylon sign for that purpose . (5) The City sign ordinance only permits lighted pylon signs of this type for identifying large shopping centers and gas service stations and it appears a poor precedent might be set for similar requests if this sign were permitted as proposed. Voting on the motion: Aye : " Bowerman, Wagner, Makowske, and Jones . Abstention: Bjorklund and Zawislak. Motion to recommend denial passed. Mr. Everson then announced that he would like to withdraw the request before it went to the Council and would prefer to return to the Com- mission with a different proposal for signage on the building itself . Commissioner Bjorklund then reported he had found the doors to the Parkview Center .had been locked for sometime during the last portion of the evening and since this was the third time this had happened to his knowledge, requested staff to contact those responsible. At 10 : 20 P.M. , the Chair opened the hearing to consider the petition for a sign variance which would allow for an additional building sign to identify the Zantigo Mexican Restaurant at 3704 Silver Lake Road from the west side of the Apache complex. Chair Makowske read the notice which had been mailed to all adjacent property owners within 350 feet of the subject site and published in the August 4 , 1983 Bulletin. No one present reported failure to receive the notice or objected- to its content.' Mr. Childs confirmed that the notice-_di,s._tance_-would not extend to the res-idents on 37th Avenue N.E. 'or to the_,;S.tandard Station owner just south of • the restaurant. The Manager confirmed: that before the new Sign Ordinance had been adopted-. there would have been no need''for Zantigo to get approval of a second sign on the building. -10- Appearing for the restaurant was K. C. George who had addressed all • three conditions and given in his August 3rd letter all the reasons he perceives the request would meet all three conditions set for granting such a variance, which the Chair indicated she had found most helpful . She also. reported noticing that the lights on the existing signs were turned off each evening as agreed to and reported discussing the additional signage with Art Thompson who lives on 37th Avenue N.E. and would be viewing the sign from his picture window and who had indicated he. would have no. problem with the proposal. Commissioner Zawislak said he was gratified to find a businessman who has the foresight not to use all his permitted s-ignage up before he knows for certain just what additional identification he needs . It was agreed that this property could be considered unique because it can be reached from two main thoroughfares and because it repre- sents an impulse buying type of business , additional signage was necessary to identify the restaurant to potential customers coming into the complex from the west to Country Store . The hearing was closed at 10 : 30 P.M. Motion by Commissioner Bjorklund and seconded by Commissioner Zawislak to recommend the Council grant the variance to the City- Sign Ordinance for the additional signage as presented on Exhibit "Z" in the agenda parcel for the Zantigo Restaurant at 3704 Silver Lake Road, finding that : • ( 1) Granting the variance would not be detrimental or injurious to other property in the same area because the restaurant is located in a commercial shopping complex and there are great distances between it and the closest residential property which could be adversely affected. (2) It would be a hardship for the restaurant if the petition for the variance were denied because of the shape of the building and its location on a small site within the confines of a large shopping center with two street frontages and accesses , and most importantly , three access directions from the west, south and east. ( 3) The conditions upon which the application is based are unique to this parcel of land because of the large exposure of the property to the west where the primary traffic is generated from the east and south, making signage uniquely difficult on this particular building and property . (4) The total signage for the existing signs on the building as well as the requested sign would be less than the permitted square - footage for. this building and in other respects this property had been developed in accordance with .al.l .City and state. codes and standards . • (5) No one•. spoke- .in :opposition to the request during the hearing. -11- Motion carried unanimously. • Mr. George indicated he would be unable to attend the Council meeting August 23rd, but would see to it that someone was present to represent the restaurant. At 10 : 45 P.M. , the public hearing was opened to consider the petition for a variance to the sign ordinance which would permit the existing free standing ; non-conforming sign which identifies Twin City Federal Savings and Loan office at 3899 Silver Lake Road to be raised 2 feet 2 inches to accommodate additional wording which would inform TCF customers of the location and existence of a 24 hour teller machine within the building. The notice of . the hearing, which had been mailed to all adjacent property owners within 350 feet of the bank, had been published in the August 4th issue of the Bulletin, was read by the Chair . No one present reported failure to receive the notice or objected to its content. Because two of the questions -on the petition form which are required to be answered affirmatively had been answered in the negative and the application had not been signed, Commissioner Jones questioned whether the applicants should not be given the opportunity of indicat- ing whether or not they fully understood the questions . The Chair . and Commissioner Bowerman indicated, since this sign was already non- -conforming because such free standing signs are not permitted in - • commercial districts , they would not want to make the sign larger than it already was and would like to take the action necessary to prevent that this same evening. However, they agreed to accept the testimony of the only person present to speak to the issue . Kenneth Lee , 3904 Penrod Lane , indicated he had always liked the sign and if it were raised, he would be able to see the time and temperature - from his window more easily . The hearing was closed at 10 : 50 P.I.I. Commissioner Bjorklund indicated he was concerned that because he does work for TCF on occasion, it might appear he could have a conflict of interest in voting on the- matter. However, because he opposed tabling the matter, he indicated he would vote on that motion, if it were made. Motion by Commissioner Bowerman and seconded by Commissioner Wagner to table the decision on the. additional signage for Twin City Federal. Voting on the motion: Aye : Bowerman, Wagner, and Zawislak. Nay : Jones , Bjorklund, and .Makowske. Motion to table not carried. . -12- Motion by Chair Makowske and seconded by Commissioner Jones to recommend Council denial of the request for more signage for the Twin City Federal Savings and Loan office at 3899 Silver Lake Road for the • following reasons : (1) Questions 1 and 31n the petition for the variance dated August 4 , 1983, were not answered affirmatively .as required by Minnesota statutes and City ordinances. (2) The Commission does not want to add more spare footage to a 'sign which is already non-conforming to the City Sign Ordinance. (3) - Although the existing sign could be perceived to be a public service, the addition could be considered to be a nuisance. (4) There was no signature on the petition and no one appeared to speak for the petition during the public hearing. Voting on the motion: Aye: Makowske, Jones , Bowerman, Wagner , and Zawislak. Abstention: Bjorklund. Motion to recommend denial carried. Chair Makowske reported receiving inquiries about the Good Luck Cafe proposal and was told the proponents had requested the matter be .laid over at the last Council meeting. She then told the Commission members that Commissioner Franzese was unable to attend the meeting, that evening because she was attending a planning seminar which she would be reporting at the next meeting. Motion by 'Commissioner Zawislak and seconded by Commissioner Bowerman to adjourn at 11 :00 P.M. Motion carried unanimously. . i CITY OF ST.

The rear of the Zantigo restaurant is very visible to the balance of the shopping center complex to the west and by not having any indentification does create a hardship upon the operation of Zantigo business . We feel a certain loss of business does result by not having some indentification to the customer entering Apache Plaza from the west . A Division of Kentucky Fried Chicken C o n ' t 3 . ) Because the rear of the Zantigo building does not contain , at present , any indentification creates a unique situation not normally found in other Zantigo locations within the metro area . We find 'a great deal of business activity does , in fact , enter the 'Apache Plaza complex from the west (Stinson ) end and leaves by the same route . The location of the Zantigo building facing Silver Lake Road(east) can best be indentified from activity upon Silver Lake Road and not Stinson Bouelvard.

Motion by Commissioner Bjorklund and seconded by Commissioner Franzese to approve as amended the minutes for the Planning Commission meet- ing held June 21, 1983. Motion carried unanimously . Commissioner Bowerman will report the minutes of the meeting at the Council meeting July 26th. At 7: 40 P.M. the Chair opened the public hearing to consider a condi- tional use permit which would allow the Elmwood Lutheran Church to Z on to the existing church building located at' 3615 Chelmsford Road by reading the notice which had gone out to all property owners within 350 feet of the subject property and had been published -in the Bulletin July 7, 1983. No one present reported failure to receive this notice or .objected to its content. Mr. Childs reported that traditionally churches have- to meet the- same setback requirements as are set for .residential dwellings , - and this proposed addition of 4300 square feet to the east of the existing . church structure conforms to all parking setback requirements. of the : .Zoning Ordinance. He : told Commissioner. Bjorklund he. does not believe guidelines have.beeh- established in. the City Ordinance dealing with . set :standards, of height as. related 'to-'setback. The Manager -also confirmed that the existing church structure location was -approved after the 1962' Zoning Ordinance was adopted'.. The application for -the -2- permit had been made by Dick Jones, 5157 - 6th Street N.E. , a trustee • for the church and a member of the Building Committee and Mr. Jones was present to answer questions about the proposal. He reiterated that the addition would increase the existing sanctuary seating capacity to 300 , would provide 10 new classrooms, a kitchen and an assembly (Fellowship) room with a split level structure to be con- structed immediately behind the sanctuary. The church trustee told of the rapid growth of the Elmwood congregation under the leadership of Pastor ,Valtinson and the desperate need for additional Sunday .* School classrooms which would be' met temporarily by renting six rooms in the -Wilshire building this winter while the expansion is: being constructed. Mr. Jones assured the Commissioners that it would not be necessary to remove any of the evergreens or bushes which provide a buffer for the adjoining properties from the existing parking lot when that lot is enlarged five feet to provide parking for 148 cars . The Manager confirmed that the City Ordinance only requires 120 parking spaces for an expansion of the size proposed. He also reported the applicant had notified him that he had misunderstood the meaning of Condition ;#2 in the application and had mistakenly answered that question in the negative. Mr. Jones also confirmed that the architect who had drawn the site plans had inadvertantly omitted the existing garage from the drawings . When Commissioner Bowerman inquired why an addition would not be built across the back of the existing structure, making a square building which would not so adversely affect the properties immediatel to the south , whose lot lines would be only 15 feet from the structure the church trustee indicated the building committee had considered -other alternatives but had concluded the expansion of the roof line to the east would be more logical since the sanctuary had been built with a stud wall and not concrete, so such an expansion could be made , and so as not to foreclose the possibility of adding another' sanctuary on the west when the congregation could afford that improvement. There was a discussion of the drop in grade elevations between the church .property and the adjoining lots to the east and the possibility of adverse effect of water runoff from the new structure on those properties . The retention of the opaque windows in the Fellowship Iiall to provide privacy for the neighbors , provision of accessibility for the handicapped, and buffering to -prevent headlights from shining on the neighbors ' homes when night services are held were also explored. Erling .M. Weiberg, 3409 - 36th Avenue N.E. said his property would not be adversely affected by the expansion but he was present to support the concerns of his neighbors -about the expansion. - Don Esau .who owns the property_ at 3505: .-- 36th Avenue N.E. , just south of the. church, reiterated the points .made in the letter to the Plan- ning. Commission which he gaffe the . secretary for inclusion' in the minutes which stated Mr. Esau' s belief �tha.t- the proposed .addition • -would ".substantially reduce- my quality�­of: life and also reduce' the, -value of my property" and indicated .the. residen.t intends to take legal action .if--those judgments are confirmed. ,,- Mr.: Esau invited the -3- commission members to sit on the deck he had built on his home to improve his view to see how that view and air quality would be blocked by the church addition. He was also concerned that the run- off from that building would ruin the planted areas to the back of his property. The resident told of the many ways in which he had supported the church which at first was "very poor" and of his dis- appointment that church officials hadn' t discussed their expansion plans with him.. He indicated the neighbors had always understood any expansion of the church property would be to the north where the 150 foot wall would only face the school. lair. Esau also contended. the addition would not be of' benefit to the City if adjoining property values and taxes were decreased. Mr. and Mrs . Lawrence Antczak whose backyard at 3501 - 36th Avenue N.E. is about 75%. blocked off by the existing structure, said, with the expansion, their property would be completely cut off- and the pro- blems they now- experience with runoff would be intensified. They joined Mr. .Esau in saying they supported an expansion of the church in any other direction than proposed and were disappointed that they had not been consulted about. the proposed addition. Mr. Dick Jones indicated he appreciated the neighbors ' comments and apologized for not taking the initiative for talking to them, which had had believed another church - official had done. He said the church needs the added space primarily for classrooms and the original plans which had been referred to that evening , calling for • - an expansion to the north; --had been drawn) by a-high sclyool-student and if followed, would prevent the addition of a new sanctuary later when the church could afford it. The trustee said he would talk to the architect to see what could be done to prevent the runoff onto the adjacent properties and would be open to suggestions from the neighbors about the plans . Commissioner Bowerman recalled the questions raised about the obstruc- tion of sunlight by the elderly housing structure on Kenzie Terrace and wondered what effect 34 feet of obstruction would have across the back of the adjacent properties , even though the church is north of the adjacent properties . Since the church official had indicated the final plans would not be submitted for approval before the annual meeting in January, Commissioner Jones asked him if -he would be amenable to tabling the Commission decision for a month in which time the proposal could be presented to the neighbors at a meeting between the groups . Mr . Dick. Jones indicated he would welcome an opportunity to invite the neighbors to meet with the building committee and the pastor to try to work out their differences.. Mr. Esau then indicated he also. was happy to hear the Commission member' s suggestion since he perceives the church has done a .wonder�ful job of bringing its message to the community-and-he had not...understood_,why the-decision had been-made to obstruct his property., -4- i" At 8: 30 P.M. , the Chair closed the public hearing for consideration by the Commission. '• I Commissioner Bjorklund indicated he would oppose tabling the matter if no major -change in the proposal were to be made. He recalled previous instances where neighbor opposition had atrophied with time. He believed certain areas of concern about the proposal had not been addressed, including what he perceives is a departure from traditional practice in - the City of having at least 150 feet of backyard between dwellings. : ,Mr.. Esau reported his home is only about 40 feet from the lot line: Commissioner Bjorklund then indicated he would like to hear more about what the City 's liability would be . if "it permitted a development where the runoff caused damage to a neighbor's property. Commissioner. Wagner indicated lie believed church officials would have ample time to work out any differences with their neighbors in the month between meetings which tabling the matter would provide. Mr. Childs said that all six adjacent property owners closest to the proposed addition would be notified of the continuation of the hearing . Motion by Commissioner Jones and seconded by Commissioner Bowerman to continue the public hearing on the Elmwood Lutheran Church expan- sion plans to 7: 30 P.M. during the PlE.nning Commission meeting August 16 , 1983, to give the church building committee an opportunity of working out their mutual concerns about those plans with their neighbors and to report back any adjustments in the plans which resulted from those meetings . Motion carried unanimously. At 8: 45 P.M. the Chair opened the public hearing to consider granting a conditional use permit which would allow for the operation of a non-alcoholic bar in a commercial district for the property previously operated as Chick' s Billiards at 2523 Harding Street N.E. , by reading the notice of the hearing which had been mailed- to all property owners within 350 feet of the subject property and published in the Bulletin July 7th. No one present reported failure to receive the notice or objected to its content. The Manager confirmed that he had received no calls or letters related to the proposal from any of those who had received the notice. He indicated the applicant, .Robert Slick, 3400 Buchanan Street N.E. might want video games sometime in the future but these would not be transferable from Chick ' s under the City Ordinance. No permit for music or dancing is required under the City Ordinance, he added. Mr... Slick said , he would be renting directly from 'Mr. Salitermari, , since the shopping center owner considered the property to be abandoned by the Chick 's proprietors . " He said his establishment would be named "The Alternative" since it would provide an alternative to alcoholic .beverages' and.. atmosphere normally found in -other types_ of bars . He i anticipates -there.: is a real need for ,an establishment of this -type since. none. has-_.been provided. -closer than Blaine and told of the (• successful operation of . a similar facility., the Dry Dock, . on Highway 10. . To the Planning Commission of St. Anthony Village Dear Ladies and Gentlemen; We, of the- building committee, of Elmwood Lutheran Church, wish to express our thanks for this hearing extension. It has given us the opportunity to do some additional homework, and also provided us the chance to meet some of the neighbors. As you may know, the officers of a church usually change every 1 to 3 years so we do not always have the continuity that is important at these times. The committee held a meeting with the six neighbors on the south--on Thursday, August 4th. We- were able to express our views and concerns and to also listen to theirs. There is actually only two families that would be affected by our proposal, the Antczak family and the Esau family. The attached sketch show the approximate location of their homes in relation to the proposed addition. The Antczak property is already 75% aligned with the present church building and would therefore lose about 19 feet of northerly viewing. The Esau property presently has about 1/2 of their view blocked by three large trees. The church addition would restrict their view directly to the north over the church's back yard. Their 2 large evergreens block most of the view to the Northeastf the park. As was stated in the first hearing, the church chose this plan of ex- pansion for numerous reasons. We also considered alternate plans then and just recently after our neighborhood meeting. Our main concerns • for this expansion are as follows; we need about 10 more classrooms; We -need to expand the sanctuary to seat another 100 people; we need to enlarge the kitchen to better serve our needs; we need to provide more restrooms; we need to expand the narthex to avoid the crowding that we presently hav_e; _ even though we are growing, we have limited funds. I have outlined some of the alternate plans here; A - Expand the sanctuary 15 feet to the west and add a classroom wing off of the present educational wing. 1 - Advantage - no need for a variance. 2 - Disadvantage - Costly to move the existing7_-liri_c1-- vall and stained glass window; the added classrooms would block the existing windows and restrict future expansion to the north; this would allow no provision for enlarging the na?hex, the kitchen or the restrooms. B - Expand the sanctuary by removing the block wall and exposing the beams which would, in effect, widen the room rather than lengthen it. 1 - Advantage - no variance required. 2— Disadvantage - the view of the altar area would be restricted; the narthex area would be reduced rather than expanded; and. again, . there is no room to add restrooms or enlarge the kitchen. C - Build a balcony at the rear of the sanctuary. 1 - Advantage - additional seating within the present room, no variance required. _ .2 - Disadvantage - insufficient height except at the center and would require two stairways thereby greatly reducing the seating. D - Build a second floor over the present classrooms. • 1 - Advantage - no yard space consumed. 2 - Disadvantage - costly since entire roof would have to be removed; this taller structure would detract from the overall appear- ance of the church. not sure whether the present footing are a equate to support the added weight..__ still need larger kitc en ,-narthex and restrooms. E - New sanctuary and classrooms at the north end of the property. 1 - Advantages - new larger facility and classrooms away from property line; no need to change present facility. 2 - Disadvantages - too costly at this time (9750.000) ; will still need to enlarge kitchen and add restrooms; tn-Ls plan is in the future plans when we experience further growth. H' Present plan as proposed. 1 - Advantage - sanctuary can be enlarged for the least possible cost; additional classrooms and a fellowship hall can be added within the same structure for lowest cost; new kitchen to be located in the most desireable area" narthex and added restrooms, all contained In the same construction area; proximity to the present service lines; use of the fellow- ship hall to provide additional seating for the sanctuary over- . flow; full-fill our T;i-(,ds for the next 5 to 10 years; provide an overall buildinL, thgtrwill he an aesthetic asset to the area, since the church was originally dasigned with this addition in mind; it is, by far, the least costly, estimated at >150.000. It should.he -minted out that a site plan was draw on 6/7/63 and approved by the planning n.nning commission on 7/20/64_: shows this very nlan ac a f'nture -Ytension. It also shows the future sanctuary at the north ena. The builcili ng permit for the church was granted to Elmwood on 7/28/64, which is 18 months prior to the Esau residence (1/7/66) and 15 months prior to the Antczak residence (10/19/65) . We feel that since this expansion area was originally approved and that the church was first to obtain their building permit, that we should be allowed to continue with this plan. It is really the only feasible plan that can meet our needs and fit into our budget at this time. The proposed structure would be about _24--feet in height which is within a .foot of the height of a two-story hone. Since our building lies to the north of the affected property owners, there would be no obstruction of sunlight nor would the prevailing winds be blocked. We are more than willing to plant extra shrubbery along the line and also to provide drain tile for water runoff if that is also desired. We certainly do not wish to create bad feelings within the neighborhood and we want the church to be an asset to the community, however we do feel that this is a necessary and proper .proposal and will meet build_Ing and city codes. We would appreciate .the City granting us the necessary rear-yard setback and subsequent permit to proceed. Thank You.. Respectfully submitted, Dick Jones, Trustee August 1.2, l9£?3 PETITION to City cf St. Anthony Village Officials We, the tax paying citizens of the City of St. Anthony, residing on 36th Avenue, N.E. and adjoining streets in close proximity to Elmwood Lutheran Church, object to the location of the proposed addition of the church. We feel that extending- the church along the south end of the property would be injurious to-property values of the existing homes. Therefore we respectively request that the Church propose alternate plans for consideration. We further request that an environmental assessment be made and reviewed prior to final approval. of any building plan. This .assessment, as a minimum, should include the effect of rain water and utility and Fire Department access.

We are Larry and Sande Antezak. We own the property exactly South of the existing church. Our address is 3501- 36th Ave N.E. As we have stated before, 65% of the church now blocks our back yard. By adding another 75ft to the building, would totally block off any back yard acc�'g_!p-. We strongly oppose the proposed addition, ?. re feel it could possibly endanger our family physically, We question the fire access to the back of our house, electric power Co. access to the power pole and transformer on the corner of our lot. And also the air current quality, with that building bloc'•-ing our North exposure. 3ut r_ostly would it indeed effect • the value of our property or if we decide to sell,one day in the future, i•rould that large of a. building directly be'r:ind the �.ouse, effect the mar'tiet availability of t�:e property?? We ask ..!het-.er the zoning code for this circumstance s_-.ould be questioned . Its just to large of a building, to close to fa.-ily dwellin¢s . ide live here 7 days a week, the church is used at theost maybe 2 days by all the paris_".ioners. Ide were present at the meeting between the Church people and the neighbors, and nothing could be resolved. They presented us with no alternatives. One of the church members even mentioned that as they were planning their remolding in the . beginning, they knew they. were going .to have problems with 2 families. So we see that they must of had some doubt that these plans were • not in the best interest for all. We have had , in the 4 years we have lived at this address, somewhat of a water runoff problem from the existing church. • We personally have packed the rut, it has made in the bank with dirt and rocks, hoping to block any runoff onto our property. We also have continued tornow the steep bank, but not letting our boys do so, because it is very dangerous. In doing so we feel we have done our part of being a -good neighbor to the church, up to this point. With so much land owned by the church whir should it be vital to rile everything on the south end of the lot, when to the north they have no farily dwellings to contend with. We es tax paying citizens ask you the planning commission to reject the proposal of this building. Our final statement is we are opposed only to the PRESENT Proposal build ng. site, when more ada.quate locations exist- on the grounds.

Anthony, Minnesota 55418= We have examined the financial statements of the City of St . Anthony for the year December 31, 1982 and have issued our report thereon dated June 3, 1983. As part of our examination, we reviewed and tested the City's system of internal accounting control as required by generally accepted auditing standards. Under these standards, the purpose of such evaluation is to establish a basis for reliance thereon for determining the nature, timing and extent of other auditing procedures that are necessary for expressing an opinion on the financial statements. Our evaluation of the City' s system o.f internal control, which was made for the purpose set forth above, would not necessarily disclose all weaknesses in the system. However, such evaluation disclosed the following matters that we believe warrant the attention of. the City' s management . Several of these comments appeared in a similar letter for the preceding year. They are essentially repetitious but are repeated because we believe they have continuing relevance. Segregation of Duties Segregation of duties and responsibilities is an important element of internal accounting control. When an organization has few employees involved in certain accounting functions, however, optimum segregation of duties is usually impracticable , but procedural changes which contribute to strengthened controls are often possible. One employee presently performs substantially all cash• receipting procedures which includes opening mail, issuing receipts and preparing the daily deposit. The same person maintains utility billing records,- :including individual Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City of St. Anthony June 30, 1983 • Page 2 customer's receivable balances. As-previously recommended, the mail-opening task should be assigned to another employee, who would restrictively endorse checks received before submitting them to the individual responsible for preparing and issuing receipts. Bank reconciliations are being prepared by an employee involved in cash disbursement procedures. We recommend that they be prepared by an employee independent of cash functions. Accounts Receivable Revenue generated from other sources billed by the City are not recorded until cash is received. We recommend that "other" accounts receivables be recorded when invoices are prepared to assure that all revenue is timely recorded and subsequently collected. Each month the general ledger should be reconciled with the subsidiary ledger maintained to assure the accuracy of the receivables. Special Assessments Control sheets established for assessment rolls are not being maintained adequately. Prepayments , additions, deletions, or other changes should be entered on these sheets and they should be balanced annually with information furnished to the City by each county. Grant Reimbursements At December 31, 1982 there were several Community Development Block Grant projects with costs which had not been submitted for reimbursement . These projects had been previously closed and the remaining funds reallocated to other projects. We understand additional Council action is required to reopen these projects and reallocate funds necessary to recover the costs incurred. The need to take such action could be avoided in the future by requesting funds to cover expenditures as incurred. i I Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City of St . Anthony • June 30, 1983 Page 3 Chart of--Accounts The present chart of accounts is not being consistently used in accounting for -the activity of various funds. In several instances, different accounts are used to record the same type of revenue within the same fund. In addition, similar expenditures may be assigned different account classifications. We also noted revenue and -expenditure coding errors which required correction. We recommend the chart of accounts be reviewed,- updated as necessary and consistently applied in accounting for transactions. General Fixed Assets As previously noted, the City does not maintain fixed asset records as required by generally accepted accounting principles . We suggest a property ledger be maintained for City-owned furniture and equipment. Such a ledger would: • -aid in periodically adjusting insurance values and-----.-. establishing proof of loss in the event of an insurance claim; -identify costs of assets sold or disposed; -establish responsibility for control of assets by departments; and -assist in efficiently utilizing existing equipment . Physical identification can be accomplished by attaching prenumbered tags to the property, with the tag -numbers corresponding to an item listed in the ledger. The ledger should include all .pertinent information for each item of property, such as date purchased, cost, vendor and estimated life. Effective control can be maintained by taking a physical inventory periodically and comparing assets with items listed. i.n. the ledger.. Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City of St . Anthony • June 30, 1983 Page 4 Other Matters The operations of the water and sewer funds incurred losses in 1982 of approximately $33,000 each. These losses are similar to. losses incurred in 1981. We suggest that user rates be reviewed annually to determine the adequacy of income generated since operating expenses have increased significantly during the past several years. The rates charged by the City are not intended to generate sufficient income to recover the depreciation on contributed assets, but the rates should be sufficient to generate income to cover other operating expenses. During our examination, we noted that two resolutions amending the 1982 budget were not implemented. We recommended to the City manager that these resolutions be rescinded in 1983 and understand this has been done. We appreciated the cooperation extended us by the City's manager and staff during the engagement . We would be pleased to discuss • any of the comments further with you at your convenience.

Those present were Dave Childs , Larry Hamer, Ray Nelson, Carol Johnson, Don Hickerson, and Lee Entner . Connie Kroeplin was absent. Ray Nelson reported that it appears that the new liquor store at 26th and Central is cutting into the business of our off sale on Kenzie Terrace. He has checked prices and although we are lower, the convenience factor for many of our regular customers who live in that area is causing them to buy closer to home. Larry Hamer reported that : 1. The sewer line in Edward Street between 36th and 37th will be • repaired during the next week or so. The company that does the lining process cannot install the liner until two major breaks in the line are .repair.ed. This means that a' small portion of the street will still have to be dug up, but nowhere near the 390 feet which would otherwise need to be excavated if the line were replaced. When the two repairs are completed, the line will be retelevised and if everything is in order, the lining process will begin shortly thereafter. 2 . The sealcoating will be swept up the week of the 15th and the sand will be saved for ice control on the streets use this winter. It should be noted that sealcoating was done in two phases this year. Sand swept up from the first phase was saved for use on the second phase. Sand swept from phase 2 will be used for ice control as noted and sand swept up next spring from winter sanding will be used as backfill -material for water and sewer line repairs . Larry Hamer also mentioned pending repairs to the overhead doors at the fire hall and to the chimney at the Stonehouse . Carol Johnson reported that during the past several months our com- puter service has- been. changing over to a newer machine .
