23 V. PUBLIC HEARINGS.
24 A. Karen Rosar, conditional use permit, for 4000 Silver Lake Road.
25 Chair Gondorchin opened the public hearing for a conditional use permit requested by
26 Karen Rosar which would allow a vehicle muffler and glass repair shop in a."C"
27 Commercial District.
28 In his staff report, Interim City Manager Hamer informed those present that this
property is located at 4000 Silver Lake Road and added that it was a Mobil Gas Station
010 previously and has been empty for quite some time. Addressed tonight will be the

1 landscaping, placement/replacement of the driveways, dumpster enclosures, signage,
2 and improvement of the existing structure. Hamer indicated this business is a franchise
3 combination muffler repair shop and vehicle glass repair shop. He added that the
4 property will be upgraded as set in conditions dictated by the Planning Commission and
5 City Council.
6 Commissioner Franzese inquired into the request as a conditional use listed in the
7 City's ordinance. Mr. Hamer responded that the request is for an automotive repair
8 shop, which is listed under permitted conditional uses in the ordinance.
9 The applicant, Ms. Rosar, presented a brief background of the franchise, stating that
10 Exhaust Pro and Fast Glass is currently in nine states and that she has the franchise for
11 the seven county metro area. Ms. Rosar distributed photos of existing Exhaust
12 Pro/Fast Glass sites. She informed those present that the business has been in
13 Minnesota for the last 17 years. The applicant distributed photos of an old Coke
14 Bottling building in St. Cloud which was renovated by the franchisee. She indicated
15 the City of St. Cloud was pleased with the improvements.
16 Ms. Rosar continued by explaining that they usually purchase existing buildings, •
17 oftentimes former gas stations. Every building of theirs, Ms. Rosar added, has like
18 images, with specific colors, signage, and standards.
19 Mr. Rosar was also present and emphasized that the franchise is for a long-term
20 commitment... He'reiterated that they buy the property, maintain the buildings and
21 property, and continually strive to improve the property. He asserted that they think of
22 themselves as good neighbors. He added that initially they want to start with the
23 Exhaust Pro and in all probability will expand with two additional bays for Fast Glass
24 business. They will be a separate entity from Apache Plaza. Mr. Rosar indicated that
25 because commercial real estate is so expensive, they determined they will need to run
26 two businesses out of one property. He foresees that this will occur more often in the
27 future.
28 Ms. Rosar noted their intention to perform the repairs from inside, saying there will be
29 no junk or junk cars left lying about the property. She showed pictures of existing
30 shops to demonstrate her point. The applicant emphasized that there would be no
31 outside storage and that that is the only way Exhaust Pros' franchise would allow them
32 to operate. She wanted to assure the neighbors of that fact.
33 Commissioner Makowske asked if there will be two separate signs, one for Fast Glass •
34 and one for Exhaust Pros. The applicants responded that there would be two separate
Planning Commission Minutes
• June 21, 1994
Page 3
1 signs for two separate corporations. Makowske then asked if there would be additional
2 signage. Mr. Rosar answered they want to put Exhaust Pros on the building and Fast
3 Glass on a pylon sign and Exhaust Pros on the pylon sign in front. Makowske
4 indicated that the amount of signage will be a separate issue.
5 Chair Gondorchin commented that that amount of signage would be difficult to obtain.
6 Commissioner Faust agreed.
7 Commissioner Makowske asked if the applicants had considered health and safety
8 issues. Ms. Rosar explained that there is no hazardous waste for either business.
9 Makowske wondered, too, if there were any problems with the gas station clean up.
10 Ms. Rosar added that the Environmental Protection Agency indicated clean up on the
11 site is not 100 percent done and that agency doesn't think it every will be. Rosar
12 perceived the EPA thinks the applicants' proposed usage is the best use for the
13 property.
14 Chair Gondorchin set forth some of the terms for a conditional use permit, i.e.,
15 structure improvements, landscaping, parking, driveways, dumpster enclosures, and
4 signage. Ms. Rosar asserted that signage is critical to their operation.
Gondorchin discussed the possibility. of needing variances and commented that he did
18 not want the applicants to discover that their plans would require variances that were
19 difficult to grant.
20 Mr. Rosar wondered if the roadway is a public road or a private road. Mr. Hamer
21 stated that the roadway is owned by Apache Plaza and it will need interpretation as to
22 whether or not it can be considered a public road. Hamer,added that the public uses it
23 but it's owned by Apache Plaza.
24 Commissioner Franzese asked if there might be a noise problem. Ms. Rosar responded
25 that there would not be a problem with noise because the nature of the work is repair of
26 mufflers and glass and the process is not loud.
27 Mr. Rosar said they would like to be open Sundays, but have been unable to find
28 anyone to work and therefore did not think they would be open on Sundays.
29 Commissioner Faust commented on the proposed pylon sign. Faust noted that he does
30 not believe that a pylon sign is authorized for this size of operation. Faust used the
31 Hardee's sign as the epitome of the type of signage preferred. He opined that that is
32 something the applicants need to consider.
Planning Commission Minutes

Page 4
1 Commissioner Thompson felt the applicants could consider a monument sign, i.e., the
2 Goodyear sign.
3 When Commissioner Faust asked if all the underground tanks were removed, Mr.
4 Rosar responded that much of the soil has been replaced and the EPA does not want to
5 have any tanks in there.
6 Commissioner Faust asked about the hours of operation of a typical store of this type.
7 Ms. Rosar thought 8:00 A.M. to 7 P.M. would be the longest.
8 Chair Gondorchin expressed his desire to attach the hours of operation to the
9 conditional use permit. The applicants stated they would probably open at 8:00 A.M..
10 However, the hours would depend upon the people's traffic patterns. The hours would
11 be established when the applicants ascertained what the patters are. Gondorchin
12 inquired if similar businesses were-required to add their hours of operation to the
13 conditions of the permit. Interim City Manager Hamer said there were no hours of
14 operation attached to similar businesses' conditional use permits that he was aware of.
15 Chair Gondorchin inquired if there was any opposition to the request. t
16 Mr. Hamer had included in the packet a letter opposing the proposed business sent by
17 the Manager of Equinox Apartments.
18 Eileen Spano, was present representing the St. Anthony Court Townhomes located
19 across Silver Lake Road from the proposed business. Ms. Spano said their concerns
20 centered on (1) signage, (2) hours of operation, and (3)junk lying around the property.
21 Ms. Spano noted that these concerns had already been addressed during the meeting,
22 but that she did want to express the townhome owners' feelings about the proposal.
23 Chair Gondorchin closed the public hearing at 7:37 P.M..
24 Commissioner Thompson indicated he is in favor of the operation.
25 Commissioner Franzese believes Exhaust Pros is a better use than a gas station because
26 there will be less traffic generated. Franzese is not in favor of restricting the hours of
27 operation for this business if other businesses in the shopping center are not restricted.
28 Commissioner Faust, however, wanted restrictive hours, but agreed that those hours
29 should coincide with those of the shopping center. Faust also feels the hours of
30 operation should be specified in the conditions: He added that signage should be made
31 a part of the motion. The number of parking spaces and overnight vehicle storage
Planning Commission Minutes
• June 21, 1994
Page 5
1 should also be included in the conditions, he stated. Nonetheless, Faust was in
2 agreement that Exhaust Pros is probably the best use at this time for that particular
3 piece of property.
4 Commissioner Horst agreed. Horst added that his concerns relate to the signs, that the
5 signs will be compatible with existing signage on Silver Lake Road. The
6 Commissioner also expressed his feeling that the hours should not be restricted to an
7 unreasonable point compared to the other businesses in that area.
8 Commissioner Makowske, too, believes this proposal is an excellent use for this area.
9 Makowske was concerned about the late noise issue due to the letter which was
10 included in the packet from the Equinox Apartments manager.
11 Chair Gondorchin was in favor of recommending approval of a conditional use permit,
12 but stated he would like to attach certain conditions to it. Gondorchin felt the City
13 should be provided a detailed plan for the structure; a plan showing landscaping;
14 placement of new driveways; an overall view of dumpster enclosures; ingress and
15 egress; parking; restrictions on overnight vehicle parking.
As to the overnight parking issue, Interim City Manager Hamer commented that
17 normally businesses of this type do.not generate problems. He pointed out that
18 customers are most often in and out - oftentimes they wait for the repair to be
19 completed. Hamer also noted that the parking area meets all code regulations.
20 Commissioner Horst asked about ownership of the road into Hardee's, behind the
21 subject property. Mr. Hamer replied that when Hardee's purchased their property,
22 which is adjacent to the subject property, they needed an entrance road which they
23 obtained by being given an easement for its use. Apache maintains the road. Hamer
24 said, however, he is not sure who owns the road.
25 Commissioner Faust suggested, as a condition to recommend granting this request, that
26 no more than two cars be parked on the property, for a length of time not to exceed 72
27 hours.
28 Chair Gondorchin added that future expansion would be another item, subject to any
29 square footage and/or lot line requirements.
30 After lengthy discussion regarding hours of operation, Chair Gondorchin polled the
31 Commissioners as to their opinions on the matter. Responses were as follows:
�2 Thompson, 8:00 A.M. to 9:00 P.M. or 7:00 A.M. to 9:00 P.M.; Franzese, 7:00 A.M.
Planning Commission Minutes
June 21, 1994
Page 6
1 to 9:00 P.M.; Faust, 8:00 A.M. to 8:00 P.M.; Horst, no time restrictions; Makowske,
2 8:00 A.M. to 8:00 P.M.; and Gondorchin, 8:00 A.M. to 8:00 P.M..
3 Commissioner Franzese inquired if Firestone is restricted to 8:00 P.M. by conditional
4 use. Mr. Hamer answered that Firestone has been in that location for a long time and
5 he would have to research the answer to that question. After further discussion, the
6 Commission's consensus was that Saturday hours would be 7:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M.
7 and the Commissioners were split as to the business being open on Sundays.
8 Motion by Faust, second by Makowske to recommend Council approval of the
9 conditional use request by Karen Rosar, a franchise holder for Exhaust Pro and Fast
10 Glass, to open a repair establishment at 4000-Silver Lake Road with the following
11 conditions:
12 1. Submittal by the applicant the plans for the aesthetic improvements for the
13 structure, plans for the landscaping and driveway, dumpster enclosure and
14 signage plans.
15 2. That the hours of operation will be Monday through Friday from 7:00 A.M.
16 until 8:00 P.M.; Saturday from 7:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M.. (Note that half the
17 Commissioners voted for open on Sunday and half voted against being open on
18 Sunday).
19 3. The signage would be one of the monument styles, with no pylons.
20 4. That vehicle storage be limited to not more than two vehicles to be stored out
21 side the building and not to exceed 72 hours.
22 Commissioner Franzese added as a friendly amendment to the motion that there was no
23 opposition to this request, however, the residents from the Townhomes across Silver
24 Lake Road were present and addressed their three concerns of signage,.hours, and
25 outside vehicle storage. Commissioner Faust accepted the amendment.
26 Motion carried unanimously„
27 Chair Gondorchin urged Mr. and Mrs. Rosar to attend the City Council meeting on June 28th
28 for the final commitment of their conditional use permit.
29 B. Belair Builders, sign variance for Medical Professional Building, at 39th
30 Avenue N.E. and Silver Lake Road. •
Planning Commission Minutes
• June 21, 1994
Page 7
1 At 8:11 P.M. Chair Gondorchin opened the Public Hearing for a request from Belair
2 Builders for a ground sign at the new dental complex on 39th and Silver Lake Road.
3 Interim City Manager Hamer explained to the Commissioners that the existing ground
4 sign at 39th Avenue N.E. and Silver Lake Road was built according to the City
5 Ordinance. The existing ground sign is a total of 32 square feet, which is the
6 maximum square footage allowed by City ordinance. The applicants are proposing a
7 ground sign which will require a 48 square foot variance.
8 Chair Gondorchin turned over the discussion to Mr. Murlowski, representing Belair
9 Builders.
10 Mr. Murlowski stated that the sign is a monument type sign that is comparable in
11 quality to adjacent signage at Apache Plaza and Twin City Federal. Mr. Murlowski
12 added that he spoke to the nearest resident, Ken Lee, and that Mr. Lee agrees with the
13 signage. The applicant said that Belair believes the facility is excellent and that they
14 followed through with the landscaping, irrigation, attractive parking; and enclosed
15 dumpsters.
06 .
Mr. Murlowski noted that the proposed signage is increased by a height of six to ten
17 inches because the roof top apparatus on top of the existing sign would be eliminated.
18 The width of the sign would be increased by about 12 inches on each side.
19 Chair Gondorchin asked if Belair is planning on landscaping around the base and Mr.
20 Murlowski replied that there is landscape around the base now, in the form of rock and
21 shrubbery.
22 Commissioner Faust referred to a prior meeting when the plans for the dental complex
23 were presented to the Planning Commission and signage was discussed. He stated that
24 at that time the consensus of the Commission was for a total of 32 square feet of
25 signage or 16 square feet on each side. The proposed request is for 40 square feet on
26 each side.
27 Mr. Murlowski pointed out that most people who come into the dental clinic are elderly
28 and have complained that they have difficulty in finding the facility. He said the roof
29 on the sign will be eliminated because it added to the signage area. Belair felt the roof
30 would be aesthetically pleasing, but would really decrease room for the dentists'
31 names. Mr. Murlowski noted that the proposed sign would need a 12 inch variance on
32 each side with an overall net increase of 24 inches in width.
Commissioner Faust inquired if the proposed sign, then, is 8 feet wide and 5 feet high.
Planning Commission Minutes
June 21, 1994
Page 8
1 Commissioner Franzese commented that she thinks the building is wonderful and wants
2 to do everything to help it succeed. She noted that there are dentists in the Apache
3 Medical Complex whose names are not on the outside of that building.
4 Chair Gondorchin closed the public hearing at 8:21 P.M.
5 Commissioner Faust expressed his concern about the signage and understood that the
6 Planning Commission had come to an agreement in concept of 32 square feet on each
7 side and around 64 or 65 total square feet of signage would be aesthetically pleasing
8 and would keep within the character of Silver Lake Road. Faust stressed that he
9 personally would have no problem with 32 square feet on each side, but this request is
10 for 80 square feet.
11 Chair Gondorchin felt that the existing ordinance creates a hardship for the dental
12 complex. The Chair is of the opinion that the proposed sign is not only a good
13 advertising vehicle but it offers a sense of professionalistm He added that there is an
14 unusual condition because this is a dental facility. Gondorchin also added that the sign
15 ordinance will be re-examined and he does not think granting a variance is out of line.
16 The question is how big should the sign be. •
17 Commissioner Horst felt that there needs to be an established goal and it should be
18 adhered to. Horst inquired if 32 square feet on each side would be within the realm of
19 acceptance of the applicant.
20 Mr. Murlowski responded that a mistake was made when the original sign was
21 designed -- it was too small. .Murlowski continued to explain how the,size of the sign
22 was determined.
23 Commissioner Makowske agreed that there is a hardship with the size of the existing
24 sign but felt the proposed signage was too large.
25 Commissioner Thompson indicated he felt the existing sign is unreadable and the
26 proposed size would not affect the neighborhood in a negative manner.
27 Commissioner Franzese was concerned about the precedent that recommending
28 approval of this request would set.
29 Commissioner Faust offered that because the existing signage of 32 square feet is not
30 enough, if 6 inches were eliminated from the proposed signage, the total would be very
31 near the 65 square feet the Planning Commission desires.
Planning Commission Minutes
June 21, 1994
40 Page 9
1 Chair Gondorchin proposed the applicants not add the dentists' names to the sign,
2 instead a landmark name only, which he believed would far better identify the facility.
3 Motion by Faust, second by Makowske to recommend the City Council approve the
4 variance for a ground sign from Belair Builders for the dental complex on 39th and
5 Silver Lake Road and that the sign not exceed a total of 68 square feet, 34 square feet
6 on each side. In Commissioner Makowskes' second of the motion, he added the
7 addendum that the current signage with the doctors' names appended to the sign would
8 be insufficient; that the existing ordinance creates a hardship because it does not permit
9 the proper identification of the dentists in the facility; and that the sign ordinance
10 pertaining to ground signs is in a state of review.
11 Interim City Manager Hamer brought up the bonus issue which he felt could possibly
12 be a consideration when making this recommendation. The Chair explained that the
13 sign's height could be increased, however, the signage could not be increased.
14 Gondorchin noted, too, that the Planning Commission has been trying to phase out
15 and/or eliminate the bonus.
6 Commissioner Franzese added that at the present time the ordinance states that for
1 every foot a sign is less than the maximum height permitted, there will be allowed an
18 additional 4 square feet of sign surface area up to a total of 12 additional square feet.
19 The consensus of the Commissioners was that that is a moot point.
20 Chair Gondorchin clarified as an amendment to the motion, that the Planning
21 Commissioners are not taking into consideration any bonuses for landscaping and/or
22 height.
23 Voting on the motion:
24 Aye: Makowske, Gondorchin, Franzese, Horst, Faust
25 Nay: Thompson
26 Motion carried.
27 Chair Gondorchin urged the applicant to attend the Council's June 28, 1994 meeting
28 when they will review the request.
29 VI. MISCELLANEOUS.
0 A. Ground Signs.
Planning Commission Minutes

1 Chair Gondorchin opened the discussion on ground signs.
2 Commissioners Horst, Makowske and Franzese agreed to meet as a subcommittee to
3 develop a draft for an amendment to the ordinance relating to ground signs. They will
4 schedule the meeting date following the adjournment of tonight's meeting. The
5 subcommittee will develop the amendment, submit it to the Planning Commission, and
6 the Planning Commission's final draft will then.be submitted to the City Attorney.
7 B. Fences to be Built on Corner Lots.
8 Mr. Hamer explained that the City Council requested the Planning Commission work
9 with staff to develop a policy regarding fences on corner lots. This request came
10 following the recent variance request from Paul Johnson, 2800 - 36th Avenue N.E.
1.1 The Planning Commission had recommended Council deny the request as they felt the
12 ordinance was clear that a 6 foot fence cannot be built between the structure to the
13 front yard set back line. Some Commissioners felt it might be more appropriate to
14 amend the ordinance rather than develop a policy. Hamer indicated the Council wants
15 to prevent this problem for future requests similar in nature.
16 Commissioner Horst mentioned that the new owner of Town and Country Foods is a resident
17 of St. Anthony.
18 Commissioner Makowske reported that the Economic Development/Redevelopment Task
19 Force is continuing their prioritization on undeveloped and underdeveloped lots.
20 Mr. Hamer indicated that the plans to renovate the rental properties owned by MAKO, Inc.
21 are moving forward.
22 Commissioner Franzese said Ed Fiori of American Monarch, told her that that business is
23 nearing a sale.

Re: Proposed Convenience Store at 2400 37th Avenue N.E.
To Whom It May Concern,
C.M.Group, Inc. , on behalf of Merle Olson (Owner), is requesting a variance
on front, rear, and both sides of the property at the address noted above.
As a consulting service for the petroleum industry, it is our's and Merle
Olson's opinion that the variance is needed for the following reasons:
1) In an effort to improve traffic flow on that corner by eliminating- two
driven, we require the area to maintain proper drive lanes and parking as
needed.
2) Building size and canopy size are being kept at a minimum compared to
industry standards, but still extend beyond setbacks as required by the
City.
3) To install a convenience store with the area allowed by the given set-
backs, the site would not be adequate to provide a service or a facility
which is in the interest of public convenience.
4) The Owner has given us these guidelines for building size and fueling
area as he requires to make a profitable business on this corner.
Please note that we have spoken with the neighbors on both the south and
east sides and they have no objections to our proposal.

TO (CONDUCT.A LaETED REMpL MV1MSTIOAMON (M) FOR
Environmental Products, Inc. Site: Stop-N-Go, Leak # 00001118
Contact: Mr. Carl McKee 2400 37th Avenue Northeast
4390 McMenemy Road St. Anthony, Minnesota
St. Paul, Minnesota 55127
OBJECTIVE :
To define the extent and magnitude of petroleum contamination from a tank
release in the soils and groundwater; identify impacts from the release
through methods outlined in the work plan; and collect information
sufficient to design a corrective action plan. To compile this information
into a limited remedial investigation (RI) report format according to
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency guidelines.
DATE: July 19, 1994
SCOPE of SERVICES:
Provide environmental consulting, engineering, technical, drilling, and
laboratory services for the project and objective referenced above.
Included are the following tasks designed to accomplish this work.
PROPOSED WORK PLAN:
.1). Drill three test borings (TB) positioned on property at the Stop-
XT-Go service station, to an estimated depth of approximately 18-
20 feet, to assess the vertical and horizontal extent of petroleum
contamination in the soils and the uppermost unconfined
groundwater aquifer. Borings will be completed with hollow
stem augers using ASTM designation 1586 standard penetration
sampling methodology, and advanced at least five feet beyond
the deepest measurable contamination or the water table (8 to 16
feet), whichever is deeper.
La.) The second test boring (TB-02) will be advanced
downgradient of the current tank basin, pump islands,
• and upgradient of the sanitary sewer line (i.e., near the

northeast corner of the station building) to determine if
contamination migration .from these areas could be
impacting the sanitary sewer.
1.b.) The third test boring (TB1#3) should be advanced in the
grassy area west-southwest of the pump islands, to define
the magnitude of contamination within the soils of this
area.
2). Field screen test boring samples with a flameionization detector
and laboratory analyze one soil sample per boring for BETY,
AME, and THGAS parameters to document levels of petroleum
contamination to soils.
3). Because there is evidence that groundwater is impacted, we will
convert test boring (TB) 7#2 to a flush thread PVC screened
monitoring well to define the extent and impact of contamination
to the uppermost unconfined confined aquifer. Based on existing site
information, it appears that this well should be completed near
grade.
4).. Stabilize monitoring well and sample for levels of petroleum
hydrocarbons and other volatiles as outlined by e NEFC .
Collect water elevation (from this well plus other 5 on site) data
on least two dates to plot groundwater- samples per MPCA
guidelines for Remedial Investigation: first round MDH 465D
DRO, VOC's, NME, and dissolved lead.
5.) Complete well recovery rate (slug test) tests on at least two of
the monitoring wells, and complete a sieve analysis on at least
one soil sample representative of the aquifer soil to provide
information for the consideration and possible design of a
corrective action system.
6.) Conduct a health risk assessment which gathers information on
known and potential impacts to public health and the
environment, including an area well search and a utility conduit
vapor survey.
7.) Prepare a limited report according to _MPCA Remedial
Investigation (RI) Report guidelines, including the section on
proposed corrective actions. If conclusions indicate that "no
action" or "continued monitoring" position is justified as
corrective action, the RI report will be completed within this
scope of service. If conclusions are that a Corrective :fiction

Design will be required by the MPCA to remediate contaminated
soils or groundwater, the Corrective Action Design portion of
the report will be completed with client authorization, and the
additional costs proportional to design requirements.
8.) Bid on the quarterly, groundwater and sewer vapor monitoring
program outlines as follows:
Monitoring well sampling and a utility vapor survey
should be conducted on a. quarterly basis in accordance
with MPCA guidance document, "Petroleum Vapor Risk
Assessment and Survey", dated May, 1991.

RE: Review of Project Status And Recommendations For Continued Site Activities At
the Mico Oil Company Property.Located At 2400 37th Avenue N.E., St. Anthony,
Mn. Site #: LEAK00001118
Dear Mr. Olson;
As per our discussion concerning your property located at the above mentioned location, I
have completed the following scope of services:
Reviewed.the MPCA working file for this site
Reviewed past and current environmental site activities occurring on site
O - Reviewed past request by the MPCA for specific site activities to be
completed
Compiled information within these reports to verify current Petrofund
reimbursement possibilities
Recommend future activities that will complete site work and qualify
property owner for partial reimbursement from the state reimbursement
fund
On March 24th, 1994, E products Inc. reviewed the site file at the offices of the Minnesota
Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). At this time, all pertinent coorespondance relating to
the past activities at the Mico Oil site was copied and is attached (see Enclosure 1). Items
of interest included the current MPCA attitude of the MPCA towards past site activities
and references towards future activities that were required and not yet completed.
As stated in the 1YtPCA letter dated January 17, 1992, the MPCA requested additional work
to be completed by Mico Oil Company. The MPCA staff had reviewed Nova's September
24, 1991 Corrective Action Design (CAD) and agrees with most of the conclusions
recommended within the report. However, the MPCA staff would like some additional
work completed and had listed their request very clearly. I could not do a better job of
explaining their position that the attached review report completed by Ms. Ginny Yingling,
MPCA, dated September 3, 1992-

Page 2 •
During the review of all MPCA's file concerning the above mentioned site, I did not detect
any dissatisfaction with work completed on site , only the timeliness of the work
performed. Mi. Yingling stated to me in a telephone conversation that she would
appreciate the continuance of the project in a well planned and coordinated effort that
would resolve issues presented by the MPCA. Please take note of the recommendation
portion of Ms. Yingling's September 3, 1992, review, stating,"CAD not approved, request
additional Remedial Investigation". This statement is consistent throughout the MPCA file.
Complete the required work and the MPCA will partially approve the CAD issued Nova.
My recommendation is to complete the following.
Complete the most recent request stated by the MPCA. The tasked
requested are not significant and will help this project to reach the final goal
of reimbursement.
Request that Nova or the following consultant to assemble all monitoring
data for the past three years into one single report for implementation into
an updated CAD. Because of the lapse of time the best recommendation
would be to organize the site and site activities. This would show the
MPCA of your interest to work with them as a responsible property owner. •
Each of the above recommendations are only stating the obvious, the MPCA
would like to see some progress and you will have to spend some money to
achieve these results. The best advice is to shop around for the best prices
for the eventual work that will occur.
The MPCA will most likely approve a CAD upon the-completion of the
above scope of services. This approval will allow you to seek
reimbursement for any funds spent in the past. A question of
reimbursement that will still need to be asked is if the current property
owner receives reimbursement from monies spent by the previous owner.
Thank you for the opportunity to review this file. I will continue to look for a cost savings
approach to completing the next portion of site work at your property. If you would like
EPI to gather all the loose parts of this project, manage future activities in a cost effective
and timely manner, please feel free to call.
Sincerely

period of 24 months. The School District is proposing to remove the existing
unit and replace it with a two classroom portable.
The School District is located in the Recreational/Open Space District and
because this is a temporary building it requires the approval of the Planning
Commission and City Council.
Some of the conditions that you will want to consider are as follows:
1. Twenty-four months from the time the unit is in place.
2. Removal of the existing-unit 60 days after the new unit is in place.
3. The heating and electrical systems are reviewed and approved by Public

Dear Mike,
Enclosed is the St. Anthony-New Brighton School District's Application for
Conditional Use Permit as we discussed.
It is our intent to place a two classroom portable unit on the property of
Wilshire Park Elementary School. The one room unit currently in place will
be removed. We will need the larger unit in place for two years.
We have yet to determine the exact location,however,I will get this informa*
lion to you in the near future as I know it is important to your posting for
Hearing. I know it will not be in the same location as the one room unit as
this is a likely construction site assuming we pass a bond referendum.
No plumbing hook-up is required since the portable will be used as a small
group break-out room rather than a specific classroom. Heating remains in
question as the unit we have in mind is equipped for gas heat. Does the City
allow propane?
Give me a call if.you need further detail. Thanks for your help.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: August 9, 1994
TO: Michael Morrison, City Manager
CC: Larry Hamer, Public Works Director
Planning Commission Members
FROM: Chris Makowske, Planning Commissioner
RE: RECOMMENDATION ON CORNER LOT FENCE POLICY
In summarizing our findings regarding corner lot fences in St. Anthony, Mr. Hamer
indicated that the difficulty might be solved by the addition of an ordinance regarding
interior side yards. Based on that, and in accordance with the City Council's directive
on formulation of a policy for corner lots, I have drafted the following proposals for
the next Planning Commission meeting:
• Add to definitions in Section 1605.01:
Subd. 80. Yard, Exterior Side. A side yard which abuts a street or
public right-of-way [along the side lot line] .
Subd. 82. Yard, Interior Side. A side yard which abuts an adjacent side
yard or back yard [along the side lot line] .
• Re-number present Subd. 80-84.
• Add to Section 1320.03, Subd. 3 or as a separate Subd.:
On corner lots where an interior side yard abuts the back yard of an
adjacent property [along the side lot line] , a fence not exceeding 6' in
height may be built on the interior side yard forward to the front lot
line and a fence not exceeding 4' in height may be built on the exterior
side yard. (See definitions in Section 1605.01)
or alternately, using simpler, but less clear, wording:
Corner lots. Where an interior side yard abuts the back yard of an
adjacent property, a 6' fence may be built in the interior side yard
forward to the front lot line and a 4' fence may be built in the
exterior side yard.

1 Mayor Ranallo said he has received calls about the closure of the Recycling
2 Center. He explained to the callers that the Recycling Center was closed
3 because the City no longer receives grant money to operate it and, in addition,
4 recyclables are picked up curbside from their haulers.
5 Ranallo reported that the legislature is still considering-rates for cable TV. If
6 restrictions are removed, consumers will be able to receive cable channels, with
7 the exception of community channels, by US West or Hubbard's disk for less
8 cost than cable.
9 The Economic Development/Redevelopment Task Force met for the last tune.
10 Ed Hance and another Task Force member will report the findings and
11 recommendations of the Task Force at the July 26th Council meeting. The
12 Mayor expressed his hope that the Task Force will stay together because the
13 Council may need future assistance for the development or redevelopment of
14 certain areas of the City.
15 Mayor Ranallo reported that Michael Mornson, Larry Hamer and he met with
16 Payless Cashway representatives to discuss preliminary plans for the Knox
17 Lumber Co. Payless Cashway is in the process of purchasing property on the
18 north end of Apache Mall from the C. G. Rein Co. After the Payless Cashway
19 Board approves the plans, the proposal will be presented to the Planning
20 Commission. Before the conditional use request is heard by the Planning
21 Commission, however, the Zoning Ordinance will need to be amended to add
22 hardware and building supply stores with a lumber yard as a permitted
23 conditional use in a commercially zoned district. One of the water retention
24 ponds will need to be moved, and there still will be three ponds. The J. C.
25 Penney Store, which is closing in the mall, will need to be reconstructed.
26 Ranallo pointed out that customers will not be able to enter Knox from Apache
27 Mall. Knox operates about 200 of these types of stores, which are about
28 90,000 square feet in size. Knox plans to employ 100 full time and 25 part time
29 employees. The hours of operation they are considering are weekdays from 8
30 A.M. to 9 or 10 P.M., Saturday close at 6 P.M. and Sunday 9 A.M. to 6 P.M.
31 Ranallo distributed pictures of the proposed building and tentative plan. The
32 Mayor noted too, that the Planning Commission and Council will more than
33 likely need to hold special meetings for planning issues. The targeted opening
34 is spring, 1995.
35 Councilmember Enrooth said that the VillageFest Committee plans to meet on
36 July 13th and 27th. He added that the parade entries are being submitted at a
City Council Regular Mee_ting Minutes

2 booth from which profits will be donated to the swim team.
3 Councilmember Marks reminded the Councilmembers of the dinner they will be
4 hosting for the President of Salo, Finland and his family on August 9th.
5 Councilmember Wagner met with the architects who are working on improving
6 or building the Community Center. The architect would like to attend the
7 August 3rd Work Session to provide Councilmembers with an update of the
8 plans. Wagner is hoping the decision to reconstruct or remodel will be able to
9 be made by September of this year. The Mayor suggested that Council receive
10 input from residents at Town Meetings before the final decision is made.
11 Councilmember Fleming noted that residents have relayed to her their
12 satisfaction with the street construction manager, saying he is cooperative and
13 even cordial.
14 Fleming noted that the Library Task Force is appreciative of the article in the
Focus newspaper about the library. She said that Mayor Ranallo had sent the
Nnew Library Director, Charles Brown, a letter and she suggested a definite date
17 be set for the meeting the Mayor had mentioned in that letter. Volunteers are
18 still needed for the door-to-door campaign for the library, which will take place
19 on Monday, July 18th. Councilmember Fleming asked the other
20 Councilmembers to assist in the campaign and said volunteers will meet in
21 Room 9 before 4:00 P.M. She suggested that the library message be placed on
22 the Kiwanis community Bulletin Board. She also said that in the Hennepin
.23 County portion of St. Anthony 3,935 persons have a library card. This
24 campaign can serve as a reminder to card holders to use their cards. The
25 Councilmember added that she hopes news reporters will be present for this
26 event and that she would like to see it on the City's cable TV channel.
27 B. City Manager,
28 City Manager Mornson listed a tentative schedule for the Knox proposal:
29 August 16th, Planning Commission will hear the amendment to the Zoning
30 Ordinance for a permitted conditional use in a "C" Commercial, District, and at
31 either the August 16th or September 20th Planning Commission meeting, the
32 hearing for the conditional use permit request will be set. Councilmember
33 Wagner inquired if the lumber yard will be attached. The City Manager
responded that it was not and therefore will remove the word "attached" in the
proposed ordinance amendment.

8
9 A letter, dated July 15, 1994, from Northern States Power Company, was
10 included in the agenda packet, and explained NSP charges for installation of a
11 street light. The cost is $1,215.10 plus there is a monthly fee of$5.30. NSP

13 petitioners should consider other alternatives. Judy Makowske, who lives in the
14 area on Rankin Road which is effected, said that even though there are lights
15 near the area that the residents want lit, the situation is that trees block out the
16 light. The petitioners are asking that a shorter light be installed so the light
17 would be beneath the branches. Makowske indicated that she will poll residents
18 in her area during the National Night Out neighborhood event. There was no

29 in their agenda packets. Relative to the hours of operation, it was noted that
30 Tires Plus is open until 9:00 P.M. and Good Year is open until 8:00 P.M.

32 too, may keep their shop open until 9:00 P.M., if they wish.
33
34 Councilmember Enrooth asked about the space behind the existing building.
35 Mr. Rosar responded that it is a drive and behind that is the road into Hardee's.
