April 12, 1991
TO : Planning Commission Members
FROM :
Susan VanderHeyden Assistant to the City Manager
ITEM : REZONING PETITION
Forrest and Marty Harstad of Harstad Companies, 1900 Silver Lake Road, New Brighton, are
petitioning the City to rezone the property at 3816 Foss Road, from Light Industrial to R-4 Multiple
Family Residence District.
Harstad's had previously petitioned the Planning Commission and City Council for a rezoning from
LI to R-3 Townhomes. This request was approved on October 23, 1990. However, there was a
problem concerning capacity of the proposed number of units for the lot.
City staff has been working with the Harstad's to try to resolve this issue. To meet the capacity
requirements of the zoning ordinance, the Harstad's would have had to reduce the proposed
development to such an extent that it would not have been feasible. Therefore, the Harstad's have
changed the proposed development to 2 eight-plex condominiums which fit under the zoning district
of R-4.
The previous rezoning was to be allowed on the condition that the development occurred,
therefore, the present request is from LI to R-4.

FORREST AND MARTY HARSTAD FOR REZONING REQUEST
33 The hearing was opened at 7:35 with no one present reporting failure to
34 receive the notice of hearing or objecting to its content.
35
36 Assistant to the City Manager VanderHeyden reported the area is zoned for
37 light industrial. The lot has R-3 zoned property and Light Industrial. The
38 only phone call staff received was from a woman hoping to have some type
39 of townhome put in that area. Proposal is to put two buildings with eight
40 townhomes each. If rezoning is approved,. Harstad will have to come back
41 with the full detail plan. Right now just to consider rezoning. Staff feels it is
42 a reasonable request.
43
44 Commissioner Murphy asked if any type of a needs analysis had been done
45 and how this type of decision would effect the tax base.
PLANNING COMMISSION 2
MINUTES, October 16, 1990
1
2 VanderHeyden reported that a developer would do this type of analysis
3 usually before building. There is nothing standing vacant.
4
5 Brownell asked if the townhomes are for owner occupancy, therefore being
6 homesteaded, or if they are going to be rental.
7
8 The developer reported that they will be owner occupied.
9
10 The application requires that a map be submitted showing the land proposed
11 to be rezoned and all lands within 350 feet of its boundaries.
12
13 VanderHeyden said that there are two sides light industrial and two sides
14 residential.
15
-16 Chairman Madden questioned whether traffic on Foss Road has been studied
17 and indicated the traffic is already heavy on the 30 foot wide residential
18 street.
19
20 Madden pointed out that the building on the west side of the site is using the
21 south side of their property as a junk yard, and he recommended the City
22 look into the matter.
23
24 He suggested that there could be access from Chandler Drive as well as Foss
25 Road to help the traffic problem because Chandler is much wider. Madden
26 questioned whether rezoning guaranteed that townhomes would be on the
27 property.
28
29 It was not determined which zoning provides the City with the greater
30 amount of revenue.when developed.
31
32 VanderHeyden said that Harstad was in-the process of buying the property.
33
34 Murphy discussed the question of the site development, considering the lot
35 area per unit..
36
37 Hansen said-that the number and size of units should wait for future
38 discussion after the rezoning.
39
40 Faust questioned whether the two residential homes that are in light
41 industrial are owner occupied and if there is a plan to move them or rezone.
42 They could conceivably be resold and resold.
43
44 Public hearing opened at 7:51.
45
PLANNING COMMISSION 3
MINIITES, October 16, 1990
1 Forrest Harstad presented blueprints, photos and diagrams of his proposal
2 for the patio townhomes. Their engineer found no conflicts with variances.
3 He said the market value a-ould vary between $59,900 and $79,900..
4
5 Harstad confirmed that the plan is the same as one in Coon Rapids.
6
7 Bruce O'Brien, president of Townhomes of St. Anthony, said that he was
8 concerned that the area not be for industrial use. He said the townhome
9 proposal,is mostly favorable. Questions to the developer are with regard to
10 fire lanes, single car garages, parking and the amount of land available.
11
12 Madden clarified that the hearing was to approve rezoning only. O'Brien
13 would like to see the property rezoned regardless of the developer.
14
15 Aleda Muller, secretary/treasurer of the group asked if there was any
16 consideration of a west exit.
17
18 Harstad pointed out that there may be a grading problem making it
19 physically impossible for change in the roads.
20
21 Muller also asked if there were individual driveways.
22
23 Harstad said there were three driveways.
24
25 Hearing closed at 8:15 p.m.
26
27 Werenicz said that he favors the rezoning.
28
29 Madden expressed concern about the traffic flow. He commented that each
30 residence is responsible for five or six trips on the street per day. Supports
31 rezoning with a strong recommendation for consideration of access from the
32 west on Chandler Drive which is more capable of handling the traffic.
33
34 Hansen favors the rezoning and said the traffic could be an issue with light
35 industrial.
36
37 Murphy inquired about the history of the property. City staff was unsure.
38
39 Brownell moved to recommend approval of the request for rezoning the .
40 property at 3816 Foss Road from industrial to R3; and recommend that the
41 approval not be granted and made final until such time as a final plat plan is
42 approved by the City Council for the rezoning. We find that this mould be
43 the best and highest use for the property at this time.
44
PLANNING COMMISSION 4
MINUTES, October 16, 1990
1 Madden seconded and offered an amendment that the developer and the
2 City be encouraged to cooperatively investigate an access from Chandler to
l� 3 this land. Brownell accepted the amendment.
L4 Motion carried unanimously.

7 Commission had expensed concerns for other facets of this proposed develop-
8 meat. It was noted that only one call had been received from a resident
9 who was concerned that this zoning be for residential development.
10
11 Other concerns of the Co vnissioners dealt with the units being owner/
12 occupied and that another means of access be determined rather than
13 being limited to just Foss Road. It was noted that traffic on Foss Road
14 is already heavy and there might be some traffic studies done to include
15 Chandler Drive.
16
17 Site development in relationship to the ordinances will be reviewed by
18 staff. Commissioner Faust stated that access on the west would not be
19 possible as Tracy Printing has a building there and some of the area
20 is used by the Public Works Department and the Recycling Center. It was
21 noted that vehicular trips would decrease if this area is developed as
22 a residential area. Councilmember Makowske inquired if the noise from
23 the City property could cause. a problem. Con-nissioner Faust felt this
24 was unlikely and there was no concern expressed regarding the appearance
25 of this property.
26
27 Councilmember Marks recalled this area as having an interesting history.
28 He noted that although it was all zoned light industrial about twenty
29 years ago, it was being used in a residential manner. Some light indus-
30 trial was scattered in the area but did not cause a problem because of
31 the type of businesses which are there. He stated that in this area is
32 Mirror Lake which is sort of a residential centerpiece and there has been
33 a pathway put around it which is regularly used by residents from the area.
34
35 Councilmember Enrooth has received some phone calls requesting that this
36 R-3 zoning remain and not be considered for changing in the future.
37
38 Mayor Ranallo stated a similar situation developed at 33rd Avenue and
39 Stinson Boulevard where a property.owner requested a residential zoning.
40 When the request was granted it was with the understanding that it would
41 not revert back to light industrial zoning even if this were to increase
42 the value of the property.
43
44 Motion by Enroth, second by Wagner to follow the Planning Commission's
o
49 recommendation which is to approve the request for rezoning for property
46 at 3816 Foss Road from industrial to R-3; -and that the approval is not
47 granted and made final until such time as a final plat plan is approved
48 by the City Council for the rezoning.

41 a. Cable Commissioner Report
42 Bill Zawislak represents the City on the Cable Commission. He was appointed
43 in January of 1991 .
44
LS Recently, the cable company serving the City of St. Anthony as- well as
46 nine other cities, raised the subscriber rates without giving subscribers
47 the required notice. Zawislak advised that the cable company was sent a
48 letter by the Cable Commission requesting justification for this increase
49 and advising the firm of its violation of the franchise agreement regarding
50
•
Regular Council Meeting
February 12, 1991
page 4
1
2 proper notification to subscribers of an anticipated rate increase:
The Cable Commission has received no response from the cable company.
4 The Commission' s complaint with this procedure can be handled one of
5 two ways; notify the federal cable regulating commission of the violation
or advise the company it is expected to return the funds received from
this rate increase to the subscribers. Zawislak stated that there is
R approximately $20,000 realized from the increase.
10 9 The Cable Commission is undertaking the responsibilities of cable access
11 features of the company. Assumption of these duties requires the hiring
12 of staff and of an Executive Secretary. Cora Lee Wilson, formerly of
3 Ohio, has been hired as the Executive Secretary and has assumed her duties
1 at this point in time. Bill Bruce, who represents Little Canada on the
13
i4 Cable Commission, will be working closely with this cable access project
16 and expects it to take about three months to be in place.
17 Zawislak noted that the Cable Commission has set aside funds for a
18
19 scholarship open to a resident of any of the ten member cities.
20 This student must be a communications major and have attained the
21 student status higher than a freshman, preferably a sophomore or junior.
22 A press release regarding this scholarship program was received in the
23 City offices today.
24 Presently, all ten cities have a cable representative serving on the Cable
25
26 Commission and there are eight alternates. Zawislak was appointed to rep-
27 resent St. Anthony in January of this year. He feels the City should form
78 a Cable Commission of its own and could look to those persons who expressed
interest. in serving in the past to appoint. He inquired what the distribution
29
29 of the funds received from franchise fees was and was advised these funds
30 go back to the General Fund. While he recognized that the City is facing
32 some financial restraints he indicated he may be requesting some funding
33 for equipment.
i4 Discussion continued regarding some programming suggestions which could be
35 run on the City' s access channel . Among the suggestions were recycling tapes ,
37 monthly reports on city activities and projects, and possible reruns of
38 taped Council meetings.
39 Zawislak had attended a two day seminar which focused on cable television.
40 At the seminar activities on the federal level were discussed, noting that
41 there is presently some efforts -being made to reverse ther impact made by
42 the "Goldwater" bill which took much local control of cable operations away
,43 from municipalities. Generation of competition between cable companies is
44

29 athletic delegation.
31 Mayor Ranallo requested Councilmember Wagner to attend a Chamber. of Commerce
32 meeting to generate enthusiasm for the athletes. Parents of the participating

5 A. Planning Commission Report
L Commissioner Dennis Murphy was in attendance to report on the February
7 19, 1991 Planning Commission meeting.
R
9 1 . Sign Variance Request from Marquette Bank
10 Marquette Bank has purchased the former Midwest Federal Building just east
11 of Apache Plaza. Marquette Bank is requesting a variance for two additional
12 signs. Midwest Federal had three signs at this location before it sold the
13 building.
i4
15 The City sign ordinance allows for one identification sign up to 150 square
16 feet per commercial establishment . Marquette Bank feels the three signs
17 are necessary because of the bank' s location on a corner and the building',s
18 round structure. Three .signs are also necessary to make the bank visible
19 to traffic heading north and south on Silver Lake Road and also to shoppers
20 at Apache Plaza.
21
22 The Bank' s logo wi11 be on the sign and the word "Apache" will be added
23 to "Marquette Bank." Although the total signage dimensions of the
24 Midwest Federal signs was not available it was felt the Marquette Bank' s
25 signage may be smaller as there wou.ld not be extra space necessary for
26 the logo.
27
28 A representative of the Marquette Bank stated that the firm also plans
29 on altering the appearance of the building as it is now with different
30 color paint and may be some other siding.
31
32 The Planning Commission recommended approval of the sign variance request .
34 Motion by Fleming, second by Enrooth to approve the variance request of
35 Marquette Bank Apache, 3928 Silver Lake Road, for two additional signs as
36 described in the Notice of Hearing; noting that no one appeared to object
37 to the granting of the variance; that the conditions needed for approval
38 of the variance request have been satisfied; that the bank site is unique
39 in that only one of the three signs will be seen at a time; that the bank
40 will enhance the identity of Apache Mall ; and might help to draw customers
41 to the area in general ; that the simple architecture of the building will
42 be enhanced by the proposed signage; that the amount of signage will not be
1,3 more than the pre-existing signage; and that the hours of illumination
44 be from dusk to 1 :00 a.m. .
6S .
46 Motion carried unanimously
47
48 The representative of the bank advised the Council that the bank is
49 presently promoting a project named "Desert Aid." Participants in this
50 project will be given yellow ribbon lapel pins. Donations to the Red Cross

2 received. On Fridays in the bank pre-stamped envelopes and stationary
will be available for patrons to write to those service men and women
4 serving in the Middle East. Addresses of those serving will be at the
5 bank sites.
He noted that finacial assistance and advisors will be available at all
F of the Marquette banks for members of service people' s families.
10 Mayor Ranallo advised there are presently five residents of St. Anthony
11 serving in the Middle East. He noted that members of the City Council
12 have written to them and suggested their names and addresses be made
13 available at the Marquette Bank Apache.

15 B. Council Reports
16
17 1 . Councilmember Enrooth
18 Councilmember Enrooth had nothing to report at this time.
19
20 2. Councilmember Marks
21 Councilmember Marks noted he had attended the most recent Planning
22 Commission meeting to view his "students". He arrived after all of the
23 agenda of the Commission was completed.
24
25 Councilmember Marks stated he had attended a number of meetings which
26 addressed the City Orchestra's upcoming trip to Salo, Finland. Salo,
�7 Finland is the Sister City of the City of S=. Anthony.
78
29 Councilmember Marks observed that the City Council has no policy which
30 addresses its relationship with a Sister City. He felt a Sister City
31 Committee should be established and suggested it have representatives
32 of the School District, City Council ,. the City Orchestra, churches in
33 the community, and community organizations represented on the Committee.
34 He felt this Committee would be necessary to give. the Sister City Program
35 some direction and make it a viable organization similar to what has been
36 put in .place for the Historical Society.
37
38 Councilmember Enrooth recalled that former. Mayor Sundland had done all of
39 the organizing for the Sister City Program and was the entire "committee."
40
41 The Mayor requested the City Manager to do some research on the Sister City
42 Program and pursue a specific agenda on this matter. He suggested that
43 the Orchestra may be interested in hosting and sponsoring some cultural
44 event in the spring which would focus on a Finnish-oriented theme.
6S
46 3. Councilmember Fleming
47 Councilmember Fleming had nothing to report at this time.
48
49 4. Mayor Ranallo
$0 The Mayor advised he has heard from several residents regarding use of volunteers.
Regular Council Meeting -
February 26, 1991
page 6
1 He has received a large volume of information regarding how volunteer
2 help is used in Sun City, Arizona. It is filled with projects which
operate strictly on volunteer services and felt some of these projects
4 may be a consideration for St. Anthony.
5 The Mayor requested an article in the City newsletter be included in
the next edition stating how the funding cutbacks expected from the
State may impact the City.
10 Mayor Ranallo attended a morning work session of the St. Anthony
11 Chamber of Commerce which was a planning session for the organization
12 to seek new goals. He felt it would be helpful if the Chamber formed
13 a liaison with the Bulletin so the work of the Chamber and its need,
i4 for new members would be available to the entire community.
15
16 C. City Manager Report
17
18 1 . Date for Dedication of the G.A.C. Facility
19 The City Manager advised he has not yet accepted the facility on behalf
20 of the .City. The Pollution Control Agency had suggested the date of
21 April l8th from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. as. the date and the time for the
22 dedication. The City Manager felt a Saturday morning may be more
23 appropriate as this would be more convenient for residents to attend.
24 The PCA felt an evening dedication would draw more political people.
25
26 He noted that the engineering firm for this project would supply the
27 food and had indicated a willingness to supply commemorative glasses
28 for the groundbreaking.
29
30 Suggested speakers for this event were Congressman Sabo, local elected
31 officials and representatives of the EPA Commission.
32
33 2. Tax Information
54 The City Manager distributed copies of examples of tax statements for
35 property taxes. These examples contained no specific addresses. Each
36 example addressed the distribution of a property tax dollar. He no
37 that the State is retaining those funds realized from the sales tax
38 rather than using it for property tax relief which was its purpose
39 when it was instituted.
40
41 Councilmember Enrooth requested a fact sheet be prepared for the Board
42 of Review which would contain all of those persons to be contacted by
43 property owners regarding the anticipated increase in property taxes.
44 He also felt their phone numbers should be on the fact sheet.
6r,
46 Mayor Ranallo agreed that residents should have the fact sheets as their
47 opinions should be expressed to the appropriate people and representatives
48 as soon as possible. He felt if the City Hall staff and members of the
49 City Council receive many calls regarding property taxes the Council
50 should consider having a "Town Hall Meeting" to discuss these concerns.
• Regular Council Meeting
February 26, 1991
page 7
1 The City Manager suggested if a Town Hall meeting is set that all
2 entities who have taxing authority and whose decisions will impact
II
on property taxes have a representative at the meeting. He noted that
4 any discussion at the present time will not change this year' s tax
5 statement but could have an effect on next year's.
The City Manager observed that the City's "rainy day" fund is designated
R to cover the City' s insurance deductibles and for severances. The State' s
9 "rainy day" fund has no such designation.
10
11 March 20th was tentatively chosen as the date for a Tax Information
12 meeting.
13
14 3. Sewer Rates
15 The City Manager distributed an ordinance which addressed sewer rates
16 and charges. He advised the Council he had received a complaint from
17 a relatively new resident on the formula for charging and computing ,
113 sewer rates.
19
20 The City Manager stated there are three methods for billing for sewer
21 usage; actual sewer rate, set sewer rate, or computed based on two quarters
22 of usage (fall and winter) and charge same through summer months.
23
24 He is proposing that the quarterly charge be dropped from a 4,000 cubic
25 feet of water to 3,000 cubic feet of water rate. The Mayor felt this
26 measure would be more equitable as a new resident is being charged more
27 than the average.
78
29 Councilmember Marks recalled a hearing held about eleven years ago which
30 addressed the whole question of equity. He said the final conclusion was
31 a difference of 25C.
32
33 Councilmember Enrooth suggested that staff can average a bill after one
54 year and adjust for the fourth billing once an average was established.
35 An overage of payments could be credited to the balance.
36
37 The City Manager felt this could be done but it would be an extra
38 administrative move. The Mayor requested that the account of the resident
39 who had complained be reviewed after one year's usage.
40
41 Motion by Marks, second by Ranallo to approve the first reading of
42 Ordinance No. 1991-002; being an ordinance relating to sewer rates
43 and charges, amending Section 540.00, Subd. 2c of the 1973 Code of
44 Ordinances.
bS
46 Motion carried unanimously
47
48 Mayor Ranallo requested this ordinance be referred to Bill Soth, City
49 Attorney, for his reviewal before the second reading.

1,3 Councilmember Enrooth attended a recent Association of Metropolitan
-44 Municipalities meeting. He noted that this organization is agressively
br, pursuing the property tax issue.
46
47 2. Councilmember Marks
48 Councilmember Marks noted that Governor Carlson has indicated he intends
49 to phase in his property tax proposal over a three year period of time.
50 In the Governor' s recent address there was no mention of Local Government

The Inter-Governmental Advisory Committee of the Ramsey County Regulatory
4 Railroad Authorty met recently and Councilmember Marks attended the meeting.
5 Light rail transit was discussed as were the proposed corridors. He
noted that the Northeast corridor was being considered which would run
from Downtown St. Paul to White Bear Lake. This route is the least expensive
p of all of those being proposed. Other routes discussed included the Manger
9 Trails.
10
11 BRW is handling the Southeast corridor which runs to and through Dakota
12 County. John Findley, Chairman of the Railroad Authority for Ramsey
13 County, has advised that it takes one-tenth of the energy to move a person
i14 by light rail transit than by a vehicle . LRT also reduces congestion and
15 noise and air pollution. Councilmember Marks noted that when one is fifty
16 feet from LRT tracks there is less noise from the train than from a car.
17 The next meeting of this body will be in two months.
18
19 Mayor Ranallo inquired when LRT will become a reality. Councilmember Marks
20 responded it could be from ten to twenty years depending on the capital
21 funding available. He felt that the Minneapolis north route will probably
22 be the first route to be completed. He also advised that President Bush
23 has indicated his support for funding of Amtrak.
24
25 3• Councilmember Fleming
26 Councilmember Fleming attended the most recent Village Fest meeting. Mr.
27 b Mrs. Thorson had indicated their willingness to continue to chair the
28 event. She noted that all of the Committee Chair positions have been filled.
29 Councilmember Enrooth is the Village Fest Treasurer.
30
31 A golf tournament will be held on Friday and the "Rockin Hollywoods" will
32 entertain on Friday evening. Saturday will be a family day filled with
33 events for the entire family. There will be a pancake breakfast on Sunday.
34
35 "Seed'' money has been contributed by the City and the Kiwanis Club and
36 the Chamber of Commerce has each committed to donations of $2,000.
38 The next Village Fest meeting is scheduled for March 25th at 7:00 p.m. .
39
40 4. Councilmember Wagner
41 Councilmember Wagner gave a progress report on the Special Olympics.
42 Tunisia and the Ivory Coast have decided against sending athletes
43 to participate. St. Anthony will now be hosting athletes from St.
44 Vincent Island which is located in the , Lesser Antilles in the Caribbean.
bS Fourteen athletes, two coaches and one coordinator will be attending from
46 the island. He noted that this is a relatively poor area .and speculated
47 that no parents nor family members will be accompanying the athletes.
48
49 Councilmember Wagner distributed material received from Marcia Bystrom
50 who is working on coordinating Special Olympic events. He advised that
•
Regular Council Meeting
March 12, 1991
page 5
he will be contacting civic groups encouraging their sponsoring some
1 interest in these athletes and promoting attendance at their. specific
2 events . Councilmember Wagner does not know where the St. Vincent
athletes will be housed so there would be limited if any opportunity
4 to visit with them personally or to have them visit St. Anthony.
5
He feels the need to promote the events and to attend all of. those
7 activities in which the St. Vincent athletes participate should
R receive .special attention from the City' s residents. Mayor Ranallo
9 suggested that a schedule be worked out whereby a member of the
10 Council would be able to plan on attending the events. Councilmember
11 Wagner felt this may be difficult as it depends on which events are
12 won by participants from St. Vincent Island. He noted that all events
13 are free to the public.
i4
15 Councilmember Wagner attended the National League of Cities in Washington,
16 D.C. . He attended a number of sessions during the Conference and noted
17 that budgets and funding were a prime topic. He noted that many of the
16 congressional staff were very well informed regarding what is happening
19 in the cities.
20
21 Councilmember Wagner felt 'that Community Development Block Grants and
22 Aid to Small Cities will probably be included in the federal budget
23 cutting. Many representatives of cities expressed a concern with mandates
24 without funding. Massachusetts recently passed legislation which required
25 that forty percent of people' s gross income must be passed on to cities.
26 Florida State also passed a bill requiring funding for federal mandates.
27
78 The National League of Cities and the Governors' Commission lobbied
29 for direct funding to cities.
30
31 Councilmember Wagner felt the Clear Water Act would be a priority item
32 on the federal level but expects caps to be imposed.
34 He attended the League of Minnesota Cities reception for Minnesota delegates.
35 He observed that the number of city delegates attending has decreased from
36 past years. Representative Sabo also attended and Councilmember Wagner
37 delivered an invitation to him to attend the dedication of the treatment
38 facility. Congressman Sabo will be unable to attend the dedication.
39
40 5. Mayor Ranallo
41 Mayor Ranallo met with the mayors of Roseville, New Brighton and Shore-
42 view to discuss mutual concerns and problems. A meeting for the mayors
43 has been scheduled for the end of April to discuss the Silver Lake Road
44 project. The mayors have decided not to pursue the fiscal disparities
hr, act as they agreed there were other items with more priority.
46
47 The Mayor felt the fiscal disparities issue does not affect St. Anthony
48 very much but feels the matter will resurface again.
49
• 50 A survey was received from the St . Anthony Bank from Steve Barton. The
Regular Council Meeting
March 12, 1991
page 6
1 Mayor and City Manager will complete the survey. The main purpose of
2 the survey is determine how the Bank can be of help to the City of
St. Anthony. The Mayor noted that it had previously offered to handle
the administration of First Time Homebuyers Loan Program applications.
5 He felt that St. Anthony was a difficult city to implement this type
L of program as there were limited opportunities for purchasing a home
that would meet the requirements of the program.
R
9 Mayor Ranallo attended a Girl Scout meeting which included scouts from
10 Wilshire Park School and St . Charles School . He presented the proclamation
11 designating Girl Scout Week.
12
13 B. Report of the City Manager
ly
15 1 . Purchase/Replanting of Boulevard Trees
16 The Council received a draft letter which will be sent to residents who
17 have expressed an interest in purchasing boulevard trees. The letter
18 indicated that the City no longer has funds to purchase trees but could
19 offer tree purchases to residents at substantial discounts.
20
21 The Mayor stated he really dislikes the loss of trees if no residents
22 are willing to purchase them. He suggested that service organizations
23 in the City requesting funding for trees be contacted. The City Manager
24 noted he has a letter already drafted for just this request of service
25 organizations.
26 S
27 Mayor Ranallo inquired how the nursery is progressing which was started
78 ten years ago. The City Manager advised there are only about four trees
29 left and they will be planted near the cemetary.
30
31 Councilmember Enrooth inquired how the City usually plants trees and what
32 source of funding has been used. The City Manager responded that funding
33 has previously 'come from the Beautification Fund but those funds are
54 now being used for the Recycling Center. Also, money from the Doppler Fund,
35 which was left , allowed for the planting of twenty trees last year.
36
37 Doug Jones, a St . Anthony resident, advised that service organizations
38 will provide the funds but would not provide the labor for planting.
39 The City Manager stated that City crews will plant boulevard trees.
40
41 2. Road Reconstruction Task Force - Interim Report
42 Connie .Kozlak represented the Task Force and presented its Interim Report.
43 She observed that the considerations of the Task Force did not include
44 boulevard trees. Ms. Kozlak also noted that there were relatively few
br, members who attended all of the meetings of the Task Force. Mayor Ranallo
46 felt some publicity could be done to -interest residents- to participate. -
47 He referred to the experience of the Recycling Committee after some pub-
48 licity was given and it generated considerable community interest and
49 participation.

Regular Council Meeting

page 7
• 1 The City Manager advised that meeting times and dates were run on
2 community access on cable and notices were placed on the Kiwanis
community bulletinboard and only one phone call was received.
4
5 Mayor Ranallo felt it was essential to publicize the Task Force and
L to get the information out before its recommendations come to the
"J City Council for consideration and action.
tw
9 Ms. Kozlak advised that the Task Force has discussed streets, water,
10 sanitary sewers, storm sewers, sidewalks, and electric and communication
11 utilities. Many of the streets in the City need to be replaced. The
12 Task Force is recommending that the streets be replaced with the same
13 type of surface materials as were used originally. The City should
4 adopt a formal pavement management system. The City should examine the
15 need to replace water mains when the streets are replaced. The City
16 actively televises its sewers as part of routine maintenance. Records
17 should be reviewed to determine which sanitary sewer lines may need to
18 be replaced. The Task Force supports an ordinance which would allow
19 the City to inspect properties at the time of sale and enforce separation
20 as many homes in the City have sump pumps connected directly to the
21 sanitary sewer. The Task .Force recommends a storm sewer utility charge
22 to all property owners which would establish a fund to be used to
23 repair aging storm sewers. Existing sidewalk locations were reviewed
24 and the need for additional sidewalk locations was discussed. When
25 there are street construction projects it was advised that utility
26 companies be contacted and requested to bury existing above ground
27 utilities lines where feasible.
28
29 Future activities of the Task Force will involve an assessment policy
30 and funding alternatives, pavement management system, and a public
31 education plan. Councilmember Enrooth felt it was imperative that a
32 public meeting be held before any assessment policy is authorized
33 by the Council
54
35 Mayor Ranallo felt the Task Force had done excellent work and inquired
36 if there were any suggestions for following up on its recommendations
37 and possible sources of funding.
38
39 Ms. Kozlak felt there would be resistance and recommended that the
40 Council not wait until all of the streets needed costly work but
41 rather to replace or repair one street to be used as an example or
42 solve one storm water problem.
43 -
44 The City Manager advised there is a meeting scheduled for March 19th
bS at 2:30 p.m. to discuss water problems being experienced in the City.
46 It will be attended by representatives of Hennepin County, Commissioner
47 Makowske, Senator Marty, -Representative McGuire and other representatives
48 of Minneapolis. He noted that the water problem being experienced near
49 Highway #188 may not be exclusively a problem of St. Anthony. He stated
50 that the water does not drain but rather backs up into the City. He Said
Regular Council Meeting
March 12, -1991
page 8
1 that if any member of the Council plans on attending that meeting •
2 he be advised.
4 The City of St. Anthony is in Storm Sewer Districts #16 and V. Minneapolis
5 has requested St. Anthony be a coparticipant in the application for
separation of sanitary and sewer lines.
7
P Councilmember Marks inquired as to the recommendations of the Task
9 Force regarding sidewalks. Ms. Kozlak responded that the places
10 where they are really needed are on streets which are under other
11 jurisdictions. She noted that it is more cost effective if sidewalks
12 are installed when work is being done on the street.
13
is Doug Jones -felt the City should have a policy on sidewalks. He was
15 of the opinion that there should be a sidewalk on the north side
16 of the pie shop on Stinson Boulevard and that the property owners
17 of the parcels north of the Firestone building on Stinson Boulevard
18 should be required to install sidewalk.
19
20 Mr. Jones also felt that the City should require storm water to be
21 stored on site wherever possible. He noted that the Rice Creek Watershed
22 District has this policy for any development . The Silver Lake Residents
23 Association has sent a letter to the Watershed District requesting that
24 Apache Plaza be required to contain its storm water on site in a holding
25 pond. Members of the Association feel that the storm water runoff from
26 Apache Plaza has affected the water quality of Silver Lake.
27
28 Mayor Ranallo had recently attended a St. Anthony Merchants Association
29 meeting and noted there are four new stores locating in the Center.
30 The Association has its own newsletter which has proven to be quite
31 effective.
32
33 On March 13th there will be a Social for the School District and the
54 City Council .
36 The upcoming Council retreat was discussed. Members of the Council have
37 received some goal setting material and a tentative agenda.

31
32 A. Police Chief' s Report
33 Chief Engstrom attended the meeting to respond to Council and resident
34 concerns relative to recent burglaries in residential areas of the community.
35
36 The most recent incidents of burglaries were between March 1st and March
37 7th at which time three daytime burglaries occurred. In referring to one
38 of these burglaries , Chief Engstrom gave details as to what was done
39 immediately after the crime was reported. He stated that Crime Lab staff
40 took fingerprints, noted tire tracks and heel marks, and observed pry
41 marks at the point of entry,. Although there were no eyewitnesses, some
42 neighbors mentioned seeing a strange blue van in the vicinity and the
43 mailman observed suspicious activity.
44
br, The Chief said that all information regarding the three burglaries was given
46 to the Minneapolis Eastside Precinct , to investigation departments in the
47 area and sent over the teletype. He noted that all of the missing property
48 was etched with numbers from Operation Identification. He did feel this
49 property would be quickly disposed of by the burglars.

1 Chief Engstrom stated there had been 98 burglaries in 1990, 70 of
2 which were at private homes. The pattern of the most recent burglaries .
differed from those in 1990 as they were carried out during daylight
4 hours.
5
L Mayor Ranallo had spoken to two of the property owners whose. homes had
7 been burglarized and they recall some instances of strange vehicles
R being in their area. The Chief stated that reporting of unfamiliar
9 vehicles by residents has steadily increased.
10
11 Councilmember Marks inquired as to the number of Crime Watch neighborhoods
12 in the community and any statistics generated in these areas. The Chief
13 said there are 38 or 39 Crime Watch neighborhoods, but no data regarding
i4 crimes. Residents need only contact the Police Department to initiate
15 a Crime Watch program. Presently, less than half of the City has participated
16 in the program.
17
18 Mayor Ranallo noted that one of the homes buralarized had an alarm system,
19 but the property owner left the house without turning it on.
20
21 Dennis Cavanaugh inquired if burglaries have moved to a different time
22 than last year which was around 3 :00 a.m. . The Chief responded that crimes
23 are now being committed during afternoon hours. He also noted that
24 statistics for burglaries have shown they have been decreasing. Seven
25 burglars have been arrested recently in the metropolitan area .
26
27 Mr. Cavanaugh noted he had an alarm system installed in his home and has
28 found it quite effective. He inquired if the Police Department has a
29 routine for squad cars to follow or a policy that requires some pre-
30 dictability for police activity.
31
32 Chief Engstrom felt any predictability would be unwise , but did advise
33 there are many methods for patrol and police observation employed by
34 members of the Department.
35
36 Mayor Ranallo stated he had observed part of a drug investigation on
37 March 15th. Chief Engstrom advised the Council of the outcome of that
38 investigation and what was recovered.
39
40 B. Discussion of Alarms
41 VanderHeyden said this item was on the agenda so the Council could
42 consider a revision to the alarm policy. Presently, a property owner
43 pays a $25.00 permit fee for an alarm installation permit. She recom-
44 mended this fee be continued as well as the $10.00 annual fee for
6S administration costs to update records in City Hall . Each alarm owner
46 receives three false alarm calls at no charge in a six month period,
47 thereafter, they are charged $50.00 for each false alarm.
48
49 Mayor Ranallo has received a call from a new resident who stated his
• 50 opposition to the $25.00 permit fee.
Regular Council Meeting h
March 26, 1991
page 6-
1 Chief Engstrom stated there were 302 alarm calls in 1990, 301 in
2 1989 and 369 in 1988. He noted nearly all of these calls were to
3 private homes. Councilmember Enrooth inquired how many property
4 owners were fined for an excess of the alarm calls which were
5 false alarms. The Chief responded there were no fines levied as
:. his department is not set up yet to handle the data. Councilmember
7 Enrooth suggested the Council may want to consider changing the calls
R in six months to two. It was felt that alarm systems did discourage
9 quite a few burglaries.
1C
11 Dennis Cavanaugh felt property owners who have alarm systems are
12 getting an extra level of service from the Police Department and
13 should be expected to pay for it . Councilmember Enrooth suggested
i4 a clearer explanation for the $25.00 permit fee should be drafted
15 for residents by staff. Mayor Ranallo requested VanderHeyden and Chief
16 Engstrom collaborate on drafting this document .

18 C. Council Reports
19
20 1 . Mayor Ranallo' s Report
21 Mayor Ranallo attended a meeting last week to discuss storm water. Com-
22 missioner Makowske , two staff people from Alderman Dziedzic' s office,
23 two City of Roseville staff members and two representatives of Barr
24 Engineering attended. The Mayor noted that Senator Marty and Repre-
25 sentative McGuire had been invited but did not respond nor attend.
26
27 Barr Engineering staff explained that water backs near 29th Avenue
28 from St . Anthony Boulevard and Wilson Street . The pipes going down
29 Highway #88 are 54'' in circumference. Three 48'' pipes come into the
30 54'' pipe from Minneapolis , St . Anthony and Roseville. The engineering
31 firm felt that pipes with the dimension of 48'' all emptying into
32 a 54'' pipe simultaneously could be the cause of the back up as could
33 the fact that the pipe from St . Anthony enters the larger pipe at an
54 angle.
35
36 Barr Engineering advised it would charge $1 ,200 to do an engineering
37 analysis. Minneapolis indicated it has no funds and feels this is
38 not a problem of their City. Hennepin County may have some funding.
39
40 Barr Engineering will be making a presentation on this project at
41 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday, April 3rd in the St. Anthony City Hall . This
42 will be on the agenda of the April 9th Council Meeting.
43
44 On Saturday, March 23rd, Mayor Ranallo attended a meeting with the
br, mayors from New Brighton, Arden Hills , Moundsview and Shoreview. Com- _
46 missioners Salverda and McCarthy from Ramsey County and Hennepin
47 County Commissioner Makowske attended as did Metropolitan Council

9 Andy Zurek contacted the Mayor to request the Council to consider the
10 installation of sidewalks across the street from his home on Silver Lane.
11 He is aware this would be an assessable project and he indicated a wil-
12 lingness on behalf of his neighbors to pay for the project.
13
i4 2. Councilmember Wagner 's Report
15 Councilmember Wagner attended the annual meeting of the St . Anthony
16 Merchants Association. He noted that Dennis Cavanaugh, of the Apache
17 Plaza Management Company, has offered payment of additional funds to
18 the Association to offset dues past from those businesses which have
19 moved out of Apache Plaza. It was noted at the meeting that St . Anthony
20 has not been paying its dues and has not been very cooperative with the
21 Merchants Association.
22
23 Councilmember Marks inquired how delinquent the dues were and the Mayor
24 responded four or five months . Mayor Ranallo remarked there had been a
25 change in promotional activity for Apache Plaza and he had received calls
26 from residents who expressed rather pessim' stic : c' ninrs aeci;t tle CFn+ar ' c
27 future.
28
29 Councilmember Wagner feels the occupant' rate at Apache Plaza will increase.
30 At the annual meeting , it was stated that Herberger 's is planning to expand ,
31 the laundromat will relocate to another space in the Center and expand ,
32 and that J.C. Penney' s lease renewal is out for signatures. Bonanza is
33 still interested but it may be some time before they can move in.
34
35 3• Councilmember Fleming' s Report
36 Councilmember Fleming attended the information meeting at Wilshire School
37 regarding the future of the School District. The meeting focused primarily
38 on consolidation and approximately 150 people were in attendance.
39
40 District #282 School Board Chair, Mike Volna, chaired the meeting. Council-
41 member Fleming felt the public was generally uninformed and noted that
42 some attendees suggested every option other than consolidation had not
,43 been explored. Consolidation among the St. Anthony, Columbia Heights,
44 New Brighton and Spring Lake Park school districts was discussed. Mayor
L{ Ranallo said joining the Moundsview school district had been a recommendation
46 at the Mayors ' meeting on March 23rd .

Request:
Pursuant to Section 15, Subd. 5, of the City of St. Anthony Zoning
Ordinance, a variance shall not be granted for any use not permitted in
the zone in which a particular parcel lies .
Minnesota Statutes and City Ordinances require that the ,following
conditions must be satisfied for approval of this request. Please
respond to these conditions using additional sheets, if necessary.
1) Because of the particular physical surroundings, shape, or
topographical conditions of the parcel of land involved, the proposed
variance would relieve an undue hardship, as distinguished from a mere
inconvenience, should the applicable ordinance be strictly enforced.
2) The purpose of the proposed variance is not based exclusively upon a
desire to increase the value or income potential of the parcel of land,
but would correct extraordinary circumstances applicable to this
property but not applicable to other property in the vicinity or zoning
district.
3) The alleged difficulty or hardship is caused by City Ordinance and
has not been created by any persons presently having an interest in the
parcel of land.
