Bill° Zaw'islak,. Chairman of the Planning Commission was present to report on the
Commission meeting held November 20, 1984, as reflected -in the minutes of that
meeting which were included in the agenda packet. • .
The -Commission had unanimously-recommended Council approval of both the unit density ,
variance- required to'construct the proposed 116 unit senior rental housing structure,
Chandler-Residences, and the preliminary platting of the Her.tog Gardens into seven
residential single family lots, Chair Zawislak reported, and ,neither- project had
generated neighbor opposition. The Manager .had written cover memorandums-explain-
ing the proposals and had supported the Commission's recommendation of approval in .
each case.
When the question was raised about the reference in the minutes to the height of
the apartment building being shortened. with the addition of 32 units; Chair
Zawislak explained that there would really be no change but the Commission had not
wanted to specifically identify the project height as 32 feet or four stories on
the 37th Avenue N.E. side, for fear the roof treatments and flashing might add to
that height. The project architect, Craig Hinrichs of Smiley, Glotter Associates,
1021 LaSalle Avenue South, Minneapolis, confirmed that the building plans were for
9 feet, floor to floor, which would be 32 feet and said he did not anticipate the
roofage would appreciably affect that height.
Mike Miller, Assistant Administrator of the St. Anthony Health Center, a 65 unit
nursing home at 3700 Foss Road, whose managing partners were proposing to erect
the 116 unit elderly rental residence in conjunction with that facility, reiterated
that when a five year moratorium was placed on all nursing care facilities in the
state, the St. Anthony Health Center owners had gone to market rate rental units
for the elderly who require some degree of assistance to live independently. •
Mr. Hinrichs presented the general schematics for the proposal on the image draw-
ings of the project which had been shown to the Planning Commission, drawing special
attention to the treatment of the 37th Avenue N.E. side where the congregate living
areas and a greenhouse/atrium entrance would be open to .the view from the street
and the residences across 37th . Mr. Miller told the Council he perceived good- unit
sizes offered to prospective renters ranging from 610 square foot one bedroom to
850 square foot two bedroom units, and he told Councilman Marks, that now with the
expanded kitchen and shared eating and activity areas for the two buildings, it
was quite possible that the congregate dining could be offered to other community
seniors as well . The nursing home director said the new auditorium would be
80 X 40 feet and would seat 130 at a time.
The Councilman observed that with 32 parking spaces in back of the facility, as
well as 39. underground for the residents in addition to the parking in the existing
building, there should certainly be adequate parking between the two facilities, and
he asked Mr. Miller to comment on the effect he perceives the improved traffic
flows on the site might have on the congestion being experienced on Foss Road.
Mr. Miller and Mr. Hinrichs indicated they anticipated most of the traffic generated
by the-new building would exit off Chandler rather than Foss Road, since the
major visitation parking area would be closer to Chandler. When Mr. Miller indicated
staff would probably find Chandler the best exit point, the Mayor told him it
might be a good idea for the administration to encourage their staff.to do that.
The nursing home administrator indicated there had been 200 foot borings taken on •
the 'new project site and, although pilings would not be necessary, Mr. Miller
estimated the excavation and fill costs would add at least $250,000 to the project
cost, .not to mention the drainage the Rice Creek Watershed District might require
since that property serves as a watershed for the whole neighborhood.

Councilman- Rana-1lo-Ul,d--Mr.
3-Councilman- Ranal.lo-Uld--Mr. Miller he views this project as -such an asset to the
community .he would support tax increment financing of thoseadditional costs
which were caused by: poor soi:l conditions on the site. The.-Ass.istant Administrator
told him the owners haven't finalized their financing yet, but, if the economy
tightens. up again,..they.might have: to. .come. to the City for Industrial Development
Bonds for the.- proj'ect: . -He added that Congress, wishing to encourage alternate
care for the elderly, had exempted this type. of facility from the per capita cap
on IDB's.
Tim Pekarek, 3008 Rankin Road, a St.. Anthony High School Junion, was present as an
observer to get a class credit, and he asked Mr. Miller how much the project would
cost. -The response was approximately $41 ,000 per unit, or $5,000,000 for the
whole project. Mr. Miller concluded his presentation by telling Councilman Marks
he hoped the building would be -ready for residency before Christmas of 1985.
Councilman Makowske indicated she didn't think the variance for the free standing
sign should be granted before the Council and Commission both had an opportunity to
see what it looked like and that portion of the Commission recommendation was
stricken from the motion which followed.
Motion by Councilman Ranallo and seconded by Councilman Makowske to grant the
variances to the City Ordinance which would permit the St. Anthony Health Center,
3700 Foss Road N.E. , to construct as proposed on the plans presented by the project
architect, November 20 and December 4, 1984, the 116 unit elderly rental apartment
project on the vacant parcel immediately west of, and in conjunction with, the
65 unit nursing home facility on the corner of 37th Avenue and Foss Road N.E. ,
which would result in 184 units for the entire complex, where 119 would be allowed
by the City Zoning Ordinance and-a--four story structure along 37th Avenue- N.E., ------
where only three stories would be permitted under the Zoning Ordinance, finding,
as did the Planning Commission, that:
1 . Because of the particular physical surroundings, shape or topographical con-
ditions of the parcel of land involved, the proposed variances 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 on 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;
4. There had been no neighbor opposition demonstrated at any of the three hearings
on this project;
5. The proposal is for market rental semi-independent living apartments which
would be -unique because of their shared supervised living facilities with the
existing nursing home;
6. The applicants had addressed the following -in their hearings on the request :
a. . a good mix of unit sizes ranging from 535 square foot efficiencies to over
1 ,000 square feet for deluxe two bedroom apartments;
b. street access - service access and turnaround;
-4-
t.- 'parking%areas for the two buildings tied-in: 'so as to -improve the traffic
flow on the property;
d. health and.safety .provisi.ons, including fire protection;
e:. handicapped access :and seven or eight foot side halls; --
I. building height not to exceed 36.feet above grade;
g. building appearance - matching aesthetics of the existing structure;
h. landscaping; and
i . floor area ratio and open space.
7. The diminished building height would allow more open space and the siting of
the structure still addresses the unique soil and drainage problems on that
parcel .
Motion carried unanimously.
The Planning Commission Chair next reported that the request to replat the Hertog
Gardens into seven lots had gained favor with the entire Commission although the
member who lived next to the site had opposed attaching a condition to the rec-
ommendation which would have mandated undergrounding utility lines to the structures,
considering that stipulation to be a waste of time.
The applicant was unable to be present for the discussion, but the general consensus
was that further input from that source would not be vital to a decision on the
request.
Councilman Marks questioned whether a motion of approval should establish a hardship
for the project since the majority of the proposed lots would not meet the 75 foot
width requirement for residences and Lots 1 and 2 would be undersized as to total
area. Councilman Makowske questioned why the variance request application form
was not used for this project.
Mr. Soth told them the preliminary plat would be approved under the Subdivision not
Zoning Code whose requirements are very similar to those in the latter. He read
Section 330 of the Subdivision Ordinance which addressed the conditions set for
granting var-iances and suggested the Council might want to specify the lots by
number for which the total area variances would be granted.
Mr. Childs said he had scheduled a meeting with NSP representatives that week to
discuss the feasibility of mandating underground utilities for the project.
Motion by Councilman Marks and seconded by Councilman Enrooth to approve the pre-
liminary platting, of the seven lot subdivision of Hertog. Gardens on Edward Street
between 33nd and 33rd Avenues N.E. including the reduced width for all the lots from
the 75 feet required by the City Subdivision Ordinance as well as the proposed
square footage for Lots 1 and 2 which would be less than required in that ordinance,
as proposed by the applicants and in the sketch plan drawn up by Lot Surveys Company,
Inc.- , and contingent upon the provision of a five foot perimeter drainage/utility •
easement across the project and underground utilities to :the structures themselves,
if staff research proves,:underground lines to be economically and technically
feasible.
-5-
The Council::•f.inds,:-'in•.granting these variances, -as did .the Planning Commission,
that:
1 . Many similar lots..-with smaller frontages, depth, and land area, have been
platted and developed in the same neighborhood;
2. The- proposed plat would eliminate 50 foot lots which conform to the City
Zoning Ordinance in an. even lesser degree;
3. The plat would to a large extent eliminate a legal , but non-conforming, use
in this residential area; and
4. No objections to the proposed platting-were demonstrated at elither hearing on
the request by any of the neighbors who had been notified.
- The Council further finds in regard to the Subdivision Ordinance related to this
r type of project that:
a. That there are special circumstances or conditions affecting said property such
that the strict application of the provisions of this ordinance would deprive
the applicant of the reasonable use of his land;
a b. That the variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a sub-
stantial property right of the petitioner; and
•a
P c. That the granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare
or injurious to other property in the territory in- which said propertyis
situated.
Motion carried unanimously.
The November 29th staff notes had referred' to the possibility that- Chair Zawislak
s< might not seek reappointment to the Commission and this possibility was discussed
with him at length. Councilman Makowske indicated she was personally sorry to see
a Commission member who had been doing such a good job as Chairman leave that body.
a She told him she perceived the experience he had gained in the last year had made
r
him even more valuable to the City.
Mr. Zawislak responded that he had read the intent of the Council 's setting terms
for the Commission member to be that they wanted to get new blood on that body.
The Mayor disagreed, saying he perceived the Council 's intention for setting terms
had been more of a stability question.
The Commission Chair recalled how hard it had been for him to get on the Commission
and said his intention had been not to prevent another person, who wanted to serve,
from having that opportunity. However, he added he would again apply if no other
applications. were received for the two positions which would be open next year.
Councilman Marks drew on his own experience on the Commission and indicated he
perceived experience on the Commission was very important. He suggested that it
might be necessary to rewrite the position requirements, so the wording wouldn't
discourage first term Commissioners from applying for a second term. Council direction
related_ to the advertising for applicants was deferred until that action came up
• on• the agenda.

Mayor: Sundland and Councilman Ranallo touched, on the highlights of .the National
League of Cities conference they had attended- i-n Indianapolis the previous week,
specifically addressing the .group's lobbying efforts towards water contamination
legislation and -a -proposed bill -which would make a national apology-to the native
born Japanese- who were- confined in internment camps during the:war with Japan.
The Mayor indicated he would be circulating two packets of information on the
conference among the: other Council members.
When he reminded the Council that Mr. Childs' contract would be coming up the first
of the -year, Councilman Marks suggested the same method as used last year should
be employed this year and that Councilman Enrooth repeat his service as one of the
two Council members who would discuss the matter with' Mr. Childs, with Councilman
Makowske to replace Councilman Marks in those discussions. .The meetings would be.
scheduled with the Manager, at his convenience.
She would be unable to attend the holiday banquet sponsored by the Ramsey County
League of Local Governments, December 19th, Councilman Makowske indicated, and she
asked whether any one else would like to take her place.
Councilman Enrooth said he too would be unable to attend the meeting of the Rice
Creek Watershed District because it was being held at the same time as the Council
meeting that evening, but he indicated he would make a report on the minutes of
that meeting as soon as he can.
The Mayor reported the : Sister Cities meeting had been held November 14th with a
fairly good attendance and that representatives of community organizations who had
been unable to come had called later to reaffirm their commitment to the program.
He said he perceived the general feeling of those who were in attendance was the
first contact city should be from a European, rather than Third World or South
American country. Ms. Polivka had indicated she had a long list of such cities
in which the City organizations might be interested and, Mayor Sundland said,
another meeting would be called to get the particulars about some of those cities
from. which the City's selection could be made.
Councilman Ranallo indicated he perceived this might be an interesting story for
the Bulletin and Northeaster readers. He then drew to the attention of Larry Jones,
the Bulletin reporter, the fact that his paper had again mistakenly inferred that
the cheese shop which operates in the same building as the SAV liquor warehouse, is
City owned.
Councilman Marks, who conducts the government training sessions for newly elected
city officials, reported a heightened interest in those seminars to the extent
additional sessions had to be scheduled to be held on the University farm campus.
He also reported the attendance at the Brainerd session the next day, was anticipated
to be between 30 and 40 persons. The Councilman also reported he had been appointed
to a special study group which would specifically research the planning and zoning
which had gone into a Shorewood development project. The focus of one of the future
sessions would be to bring entrepreneurship into local. government, Councilman
Marks said.
In his report on recent activities of the Youth Service Bureau, the Councilman
indicated a search committee has been established to find a replacement for Chris
Clausen who has resigned as Director to become a lobbyist for youth service agencies. •
Councilman Marks indicated he had received an invitation to attend the charter
meeting of a Rotary Club in New Brighton and understood the group is- looking for
I >
-7-
membership in St. Anthony, .. The Mayor agreed with the Councilman that„there would
probably not be enough interested people to support another business club in the
City .now, that the Chamber .of Commerce had been reorganized so successfully in'
St: Anthony.
In his November .9.th memorandum, 'Mr Childs had extensively reported :on the contro-
versy which had developed around the request from the Fosston Townhouse Board: of
Directors for the restriction of all" parking on the east side of Foss Road
immediately adjacent to the townhouses. The Manager had also included in the agenda
packet copies of correspondence between himself and the residents of the townhomes; .
including those whose homes abut the roadway who oppose the "No Parking" signs;
Caravelle apartment owners and residents who support the signs, and the St. Anthony
Health -Center, whose staff and visitors normally avail themselves of the one hour
parking permitted along the west side of Foss Road. A copy of Chief Hickerson's
November 14th recommendation to Mr. Childs that parking only be restricted within
the 30 feet of roadway north of the '37th Avenue N.E. intersection where the fire
hydrant is located and not on the additional 94-1/2 feet of roadway beyond the
Fosston driveways, since cars parked on that area would not interfere with vehicles
turning onto 37th Avenue, had been attached to the Manager's recommendation to the
Council . Mr. Childs ' October 29th letter to all interested parties inviting them
to attend the Council meeting had also informed them that the requested signs had
been removed until the Council had an opportunity to sort out the strong divergences
of opinion about the signs between the Fosston Townhouse Association and the six
townhome owners most affected by the erection of the signs.
There were about a dozen people present to represent those who favor or opposed the
signs. Mrs. R. E. Dobrzynski , President of the Fosston Association, Inc. and two
residents of the townhomes who support the retention of the signs, which they per-
ceive to be essential to driver and walker safety along that street, and Mr. and
Mrs. John Madden and Eugene McDonough who spoke for the homeowners along that
particular stretch of roadway who reject the signs ' necessity and perceive their
erection as "unjustified, as they would deny us the guest parking the adjacent
Caravelle Apartments complex enjoys, " were present to discuss their differences.
A neutral viewpoint was provided by Mr. Mike Miller, the nursing home representative
who had remained for the purpose of finding out just what the City intended to do
on Foss Road. The City had received a petition for the signs which had been signed
by 40 Caravelle Apartment residents, as well as a letter from the Caravelle owner,
supporting the restricting of parking in front of the townhomes.
Mrs. Dobrzynski indicated her unhappiness that the signs had been taken down after
the City had heard from a minority of the townhome owners, especially John Madden,
who she perceived as having an undue influence on the Council , opposing the signs.
Mrs. Dobrzynski indicated she believed the Council should take into account the
fact that there would be only 25 feet of roadway between curbs on Foss Road once
it snows, and there would be less than 17 feet for vehicles to pass between cars
parked on both sides of the street. She indicated many of the residents along the
street are elderly and find passing in that limited space to be very difficult.
She and Mrs. Koch emphasized the difficulty experienced by bus riders trying to
avoid being hit .walking home from the bus line. The Association President said the
residents who were opposing the signs already had more parking spaces available
to them than the rest of the townhome residents and she questioned why they couldn't
park across the street in the one hour parking. Mrs. Dobrzynski believed those
residents' reaction to be a selfish one.
John Madden responded by saying he could see the need for restricting parking near
the intersection and fire hydrant but not that which would prohibit parking in an
area he measured to be at least 124 feet away from the intersection. Mr. Madden
indicated he perceived Foss Road to be the same diwth as other residential streets
-8-
in the community where- parking is permitted on both sides of the street. He added
.... that parking is restricted on •Chandler Drive only because that is a truck and- MTC
route. The sign opponent distributeda colored photo of .the street which •showed•
two cars passing easily between parked vehicles on..both sides of the- street.
Mr. Madden:.concl uded his i nput'•to the discussion -by commenting that he. believed the
Caravel-le signatures should -not be considered as relevant to the decision since
the apartments are too far north of the townhomes to be affected by .the parking
in front of Fosston. Mr. McDonough agreed with that- assessment and reported he
had .measured the street and found it to be 35 feet wide._ Mrs. Madden supported
the staff'sremoval of the sign north of the driveways.
Chief Hickerson cited the traffic accident report for the past five years for
Foss Road and similar residential streets near Foss, all of which intersect .37th
Avenue N.E. Foss had fewer accidents than Highcrest, Edward, Belden, or Macalaster
and the Chief said parking -had been a factor in none of the incidents on Foss Road.
He also said, if traffic counts on Foss had been taken, they had been done by
. Ramsey County in conjunction with the rebuilding of 37th and he. would have to get
those figures from them.
Mrs. Dobrzynski responded that she did not consider Foss Road, which serves two
townhome complexes, an apartment complex, and a nursing home, to be a typical
residential street. Ms. Getman said most of the Caravelle residents drive all
the way around to Chandler to avoid the Foss Road slope onto 37th in the winter.
She responded to Mr. McDonough's statement that there are sidewalks on Fosston
property which walkers could use, if they were only shoveled, by saying these
"internal pathways" have never been shoveled because residents oppose the
implementation of an assessment to keep them cleared. Mrs. Koch reiterated the
difficulty she and another Fosston resident experience trying to get home from the
bus line in the winter because the snow storage narrows the roadway between parked
cars. It was her contention that during a winter like the previous one, there was
no way the Fosston sidewalks could be kept open.
Mr. Miller recalled that at- one time all parking on the west side of Foss Road had
been prohibited. He commented that the nursing home administration had recognized
the parking problems on that roadway and had built a blacktop apron. for guests to
park who wished to use the Foss Road entrance to the nursing home.
Chief Hickerson told those present he had not been aware of the controversy when
he had made his assessment of need for parking in that area, and still maintained
the only sign which was essential for safety was the one near the busy intersection.
He concluded by saying 90% of the residential streets in the City are the same
width as Foss Road and those residents all have to walk on the streets, even when
they get narrower after it snows. He questioned whether the fact that drivers
might have to wait for another vehicle to pass really constituted a good enough
reason to justify restricting all parking away from the intersection traffic.
The general consensus of the Council and Mayor was that it would be very difficult
to not support the staff recommendation on this matter and they agreed it might be
advisable to monitor the street during the different seasons to see if there is
enough concrete evidence to justify the Council 's taking another. look at the
Association's request, probably after the rebuilding of 37th is completed.
Motion by Councilman Enrooth and seconded by Councilman Marks to implement the City
staff's recommendations to put up only one "No Parking" sign on the east .side of
Foss Road between the intersection of 37th Avenue N.E. and the Fosston driveways and
to institute a study for the next .four months which might provide justification for
reconsideration of the Association's request in the spring.
;i —9—
Motion carried unanimously.
Chief -Hickerson. .answered the questions -the Council •members:.had about the October
Police. Reports::� He.-agreed to find out- why there were discrepancies in the number
of warrant arrests and told Counc.i.lman.- Marks most of. the alarm calls originated with
.the J. C. Penny store in. Apache -or the banks. He reported his. department is taking.
steps, to: disconnect .the -store's'. alarm system since the charges for those calls have
gone unpaid but said :the City :is forced to respond to all bank calls no matter. how
` many are mistakenly .set off, by .employee carelessness. The Chief said he would see
that patrolmen .are identified by name not badge number on future reports.
The: Police Repor.t,. as well as the October Financial Report, were ordered filed
. as informational along with the November 28th staff notes, following a brief dis-
cussion of some of the items which had been reported, some of which were addressed
later on in the agenda.

Kenzie project.

2
3 Present for roll call : -Zawislak, Wagner, Bowerman, and Hansen.
4
5 Absent: Jones (.arrived at .7:48 P.M. ) , Bjorklund and Franzese.
6
7 Also present: David Childs, City Manager.
8
9 Motion- by Commissioner Wagner and seconded by Commissioner Hansen to approve as
10 submitted the minutes of the Planning Commission meeting held November 20, 1984.
11
12 Motion carried unanimously.
13
14 Commissioner Bowerman will report the meeting at the December 18th Council meeting.
15
16 At 7:37 P.M. , the Chair opened the hearing to consider a request from Howard
17 Applebaum, 1583 Saunders, St. Paul , for a conditional use permit to operate a video
18 cassette equipment sales and rental operation in the Apache Plaza Shopping Center.
• 19- Chai r _Zawi sl ak read._the,notice which=had._.been:.,publ i shed i n--•the,November, 27th_
20 Bulletin and which had been mailed to all property owners of record within 350
21 feet of the subject property. No one present reported failure to receive'tfiat -`
22 notice or objected to its content.
s
23
24 The Manager reported receiving no calls about the request and reiterated much of
25 his explanation of the proposal which had been stated in his December 7th memorandum
26 to the Commission. He read aloud the three conditions which would have to be
27 required of the applicant for conditional use permit approval . According to
28 Mr. Childs, Mr. Applebaum had already indicated to him that he would have no
29 problem meeting all three requirements. Mr. Applebaum told the Commissioners his
30 store would take up 1 ,900 square feet of space in the area west of the garage
31 doors on the south side of the mall where the Wards pickup and catalog departments
32 had been located. The existing door in that area would be closed off, the appli-
33 cant said, and only the side door retained, along with a three or four foot wide
34 window.
35
-36 A major portion-of his business would -come-from-the-rental--of- video--cassettes9
37, Mr. Applebaum said, but he would also be selling VCR's and television sets.
38 The store owner said he hopes to convey to the community the impression of a
39 '.family oriented establishment. The store would have. no interior mall access, and
40 Mr. Applebaum indicated he would anticipate closing .no later than 11 :00 P.M. on
41 weekends and -earlier on weekdays, although he had not made a firm decision in that
42 regard. The applicant also indicated signage and lighting of the sign would be
4 3 in conformance..wit h the requirement of the shopping center management- and City
44 codes." :.'
• 45
46 - When the Chair asked Mr_. Applebaum what effect he perceived -Cable T.V. might have
f�
47 on his business, the store owner.told him that there are eight other Video World
i
r .
-2-
1 stores in other communities and they are doing very well in those cities which have
2 cable. He said their experience had been that most people believed commercial
3 T.V. offered more than cable which is too .repititious and most of their customers
4 have :reported believing it is cheaper to rent their own choice of movies than to
5 pay to watch the same movie over and over. -
6
7 The meeting was closed at 7:46 P.M. for Commission consideration of a recommenda-
8 don to the Council . Commissioner Jones arrived during the discussion which
9 preceded that action.
10
11 Commissioner Bowerman read aloud the three statements on the application Mr. Apple-
12 baum had signed which Minnesota statutes and City ordinance require be satisfied
13 before a conditional use permit can be granted. Mr. Childs advised that Mr. Apple-
14 baum hadindicated to him he had no problem with those conditions and the applicant
15 restated that none of the conditions would pose a problem for the operation he
16 proposes to run.
17
18 Mr. Childs said he didn't recall that the City had specifically set hours of
19 operation for the two other video stores which are operated in shopping centers
20 in the southern portion of St. Anthony but had, instead, been concerned that the
21 hours proposed by those proprietors were not excessively late. He perceived the
22 only difference between this store and the Video Update across from the St. Anthony
23 National Bank was probably that the other store had 24 hour film drop off service.
24
25 Motion by Commissioner Bowerman and seconded by Commissioner Wagner to recommend
26 the Council grant a Conditional Use Permit to Howard Applebaum to operate a video
27 cassette equipment sales and rental store in Apache Plaza as proposed, subject •
28 to the following conditions :
29
30 1 . There would be no viewing of tapes in the store, except for bona fide demon-
31 strations of tapes and no viewing would be visible from outside the store;
32
33 2. The proprietors must comply with all state laws relating to obscenity and to
34 any ordinance of the City of St. Anthony thereafter relating to obscenity;
35
36 3. Conviction of the owner or any of the employees of the owner for violation of
37 obscenity laws in the operation of the store would be grounds for revocation
38 of this permit by the City Council ; and
39
40 4. Any identification of the business would be required to conform to the City
41 Sign Ordinance.
42
43 Motion carried unanimously.
44
45 The Manager reiterated the information he had given in his December 7th memorandum
46 related to the proposed signage for the Hair Station at 3909 Silver Lake Road.
47 The matter had been tabled at the last Commission meeting to permit the applicant
48 to develop a plan for a sign which would conform to the City's requirements for
49 free standing signs.
50
51 Dan Jaeger, 9418 East River Road, renter/owner of the shop, told Commission members
52 he still hoped to be allowed to incorporate the identification logo he had used
53 on his three other shops into the sign copy depicted in the concept drawing which •
54 had been included in the agenda packet. Mr. Jaeger said he had a substantial
55 investment in that logo and, if the City permitted its use, could adjust the
-3-
1 dimensions :of the•sign without -increasing its total size which would be close
2 .U 24 square ..feet -on. each side; which the Manager indicated, would be .under the
3: 50 :feet total allowed for two sides under- the Sign Ordinahce.' The Craig & Company
4 -sign had been close: to 64, square :feet and Mr.. Childs told-Com-mi ssi6ner Jones;:
5 Cadwallader had ,been .a flowed 60 square feet.
6.-
7
.7 The 'Chair indicated he had gone out to see Mr. Jaeger's Blaine shop and perceived
8 that signage with the logo produceda "very neat looking sign". He perceived the
9 applicant had been very cooperative in working with the City to develop an
10 acceptable, substantial sign. Chair Zawislak indicated he personally would have
11 no objections to having the logo worked into the sign any way Mr. Jaeger wanted,
12 as long as the square footage is not increased or the sign lit after the shop
13 is closed.
14 '
15 The beautician told the Commission members he plans to utilize the existing sign
16 base, which he would rebrick, berm up and add shrubbery to in -the spring. He
17 said the sign surface would be laminated wood or plastic, with no raised lettering,
18 and would be ground lit. Commissioner Hansen said he liked the shrubbery aspect
19 because it would give the sign the ground hugging appearance which is desired by
20 the City.
21
22 Commissioner Jones indicated he shared the other Commissioner's appreciation of the
23 effort put into the final sign plans and he told Mr. Jaeger he hoped he had not
24 misunderstood his own statement at the last meeting which had been prompted by
25 his unhappiness with the sign which had identified the former business in that
26 building, he had personally found "quite offensive". He also said he liked the
27 idea of berming up the sign, perceiving that would be necessary with the snow
2.8 plowing on Silver Lake Road.. ..
.29
30 Commission.:members also indicated their happiness with Mr. Jaeger 's plans to
31 change the appearance of the building to look more like a business establishment
32 than a residence and they indicated they would have no problems with the shop
33 proprietor's use of his telephone number in his sign as long as it didn 't increase
34 the sign's size. There was also concurrence with Mr. Childs ' suggestion that
35 the sign be considered "under construction" until spring due to the difficulty
36 of brick work and beginning in the winter.
37
38 Motion by Commissioner Wagner and seconded by Commissioner Bowerman to remove the
39 Hair Station sign request from the table.
40
41- Motion carried unanimously.
42
43 Motion by Commissioner Wagner and seconded by Commissioner Hansen to recommend the
44 Council grant the variance to the City Sign Ordinance which would accept the
45 design proposed for the free standing sign for the Hair Station to be erected as
46 proposed by the owner, Dan Jaeger, with the option of incorporating into the sign
47 copy the company logo and/or a. telephone number as long as the total square footage
48 for the sign doesn't exceed the 50 square feet allowed by the Sign Ordinance and
49 to allow the sign to be ground lit during the hours of -operation. The Commission
50 further- recommends the applicant be-given until June 1 , 1985, to complete all -work
51 on the sigh-he had proposed De&6m'ber°,.11 1984.
52
53 Motion-carried unanimously.

55
-4-
1 In his December 7th memorandum, Mr.- Childs had reported -Craig Belisle's unhappiness
2 at being required. to turn off.the flashing lights in the window of his store,. the
3 Video Update at 2501 Kenzie Terrace and indicated Mr. Belisle had requested he be
4 given the opportunity of appealing staff's interpretation of the Sign Ordinance
5 that the flashing lights would not constitute an historical symbol because of their
6 resemblance to a theater marquis, as was stated in the store owner's November 26th
7 letter, which had been included in the agenda packet.
8
9 Mr. Childs reiterated that it was staff's belief that it would take a substantial
10 stretch of interpretation of the Sign Ordinance to consider the lights symbolic
11 of a theater marquis, which` in any event, the ordinance would not permit to flash.
12
13 Mr. Belisle asked what the City had against lights, saying his store is #11 in
14 -25 other Video Updates around the metropolitan area, -half of which he believes are
15 allowed the same lighting arrangements he had in his window. He then identified
16 three of these as the Maplewood, Eden Prairie stores and the store on Rice Street
17 in St. Paul .
18
19 The store proprietor questioned why the Public Works Director had not told him
20 the City would not allow this type of lighting when he initially discussed the
21 store with Mr. Belisle, saying he had undergone a great deal of expense installing
22 the lights, only to be told they had to be turned off. According to Mr. Belisle.,
23 it would cost him around $60 to purchase the computer chip to turn the flasher off.
24 The complainant then distributed copies of a letter from the Video Update
25 Corporate Counsel supporting his contention that his lighting should be permitted
26 under the section in the Sign Ordinance which states a commercial establishment
27 is allowed one historical identification symbol not exceeding five square feet.
28
29 Commissioner Hansen responded that, even if the lighting could be considered an
30 exception to the Sign Ordinance, the window size itself would bring it into non-
31 conformance with the same ordinance. Commissioner Jones read Section 430:30 which
32 specifically prohibited any flashing lights, .except those which gave time and
33 temperature readings, which he read as meaning even if the lights could be
34 considered a theater marquis, they could not flash under that section. The
35 Chair agreed, saying if a theater were located in the City, the ordinance would
36 probably prohibit flashing lights on the marquis.
37
38 Commissioner Bowerman told the store owner he perceived there had never been an
39 ordinance intent to consider flashing lights as historical symbols because the
40 section prohibiting flashing lights in signs had originally been written into the
41 ordinance because the City perceived they might create a distraction for drivers
42 along busy thoroughfares. He told Mr. Belisle that although the Commission wanted
43 to be fair to him, they could foresee that, if they let him have that type of
44 lighting, that decision might be very hard to live with if sometime in the future,
45 a similar request came ,in for a business located on a busy street like 'Stinson
46 Boulevard. The Commissioner also questioned the concept that flashing lights are
47 historical symbols for all theaters, many- of which now use other types of lighting
48 in their marquis.
49
50 Commissioner Bowerman wondered whether a variance to the Sign Ordinance might not
5:---Y'hay_e, to be granted if the .l fights.were to be turned on again:-_and told Mr. Belisle if
52 ' 61 t '`were so, he might have a d ifficult time proving a unique hardship had been •
53 created for him by the ordinance which had not been created for other businesses
54 in the same area.
55
i.
-5-
1 The-- store -owner, -responded- -that he still believed he should have been made aware of
2 the-.ordinance restriction against flashing- lights before he had .made an investment
3 in them for his store. He continued to insist Mr: Hamer should have provided him
4� with -a copy of the ordinance when his signage was initially discussed. Mr. Childs
5 told-.Mr. Belisle that, because the store owner had originally stated his signage
6 would consist of only a.4 X 6 foot unlighted sign, the Public Works Director had
7 no way of knowing he intended to include flashing lights in the future. The
8 Manager also mentioned that the City had recently required flashing lights on the
9 City's own liquor store be turned off.
10
11 When Mr. Belisle said he- perceived ,the City Ordinance was hard to get hold of and
12 mentioned it would cost him 20a a copy to have that large document copied, Com-
13 missioner Jones told him the Sign Ordinance is only seven pages and long and is
14 available, not only at City Hall , but also in the library located close to his
15 store. The Commissioner then told Mr. Belisle the Commission really appreciated
16 the fact that he had turned off the lights until the question could be resolved.
17
18 At the conclusion of his report, the Chair discussed the conversation related to
19 the end of two terms on the Commission in December and said he understood the City
20 would be advertising for applicants to fill those openings. Mr. Childs said the
21 Council had encouraged the incumbents to apply for those positions and indicated
22 he perceived they might decide not to interview any more applicants if the in-
2 3 cumbents expressed the desire to stay on. He urged_ Commissioners Bowerman and
24 Zawisl-ak to submit written applications if they wanted to continue their service.
25
26 A motion to adjourn was made by Commissioner Wagner and seconded by Commissioner
27 Hansen but, before it was voted on, the Chair made a motion to wish the Council a
28 very Merry Christmas, which resulted in an affirmative vote from all the Commissioners
29 with the exception of a friendly "Bah Humbug" from Commissioner Bowerman.
30
31 The motion to adjourn passed unanimously at 8:35 P.M.

BOARD OF HENNEPIN COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
2400 GOVERNMENT CENTER
MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 55487
December 7, 1984
Hon. Robert Sundland
Mayor of St. Anthony
3301 Silver Lake Road Northeast
St. Anthony, MN 55418
Dear Mayor Sundland:
On September 25 the Hennepin County Board of Commissioners unanimously
approved a Structure and Composition Plan for a Hennepin County Community
Action Agency and resolved that the Hennepin County Office of Planning and
Development assemble and file the necessary papers requesting official
designation from the state of Minnesota. This resolution culminates several
years of discussion about the possibility of initiating a CAA for suburban
and rural Hennepin County and will allow access to funding for services to
• County residents that had previously been unavailable.
The Office of Planning and Development has been working with the suburban
human services councils, the County Attorney's Office, and the State to
assemble the package of materials required for recognition. This package
includes Articles of Incorporation for this private nonprofit agency, start
up plan for the organization , demographic material describing the service
area , and a description of the process used in developing the structure.
The package requesting designation has been submitted, and it is my expecta-
tion that the State will respond to this request early in 1985.
The plan originally proposed for the CAA was reviewed in detail by the Board
and a major effort was made to ensure public accountability of the new
organization. The Board of Directors will consist of nine public officials
(three Hennepin County Commissioners and six elected suburban officials) ,
nine representatives from the private sector, and nine members of the
low-income population. The County's open appointment process will be used to
appoint the six suburban elected officials who will serve .on the Board of
Directors.
Following the State's recognition of-the CAA, the County and the human
services councils will begin the important process of recruitment and
selection of the initial Board of Directors and other start up activities.
'Letter to Mayor Sundland
December 7, 1984

It is our hope that you will bring this opportunity to the attention of your
.fellow council members so that they may consider applying for these important
positions when nominations for the board are solicited.
Thank you- for your continuing support and interest in this important effort. '
Sincer ly,
issioner John E. Derus , Chairman
nnepin County Board of Commissioners

HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT .AUTHORITY MINUTES
• December 4, 1984
The meeting was called to order by- Chairmarr Sundland at 10:1.6..P.M.
( Present for roll call : *Sundland, Vice Chair Enrooth, . Secretary/Treasurer Marks,
and Commissioners Ranallo and Makowske.
!
Also present: David Childs, Executive Director; William Soth, Attorney; and
Richard Krier of the Derrick Land Company, Consultant.
' Motion by Commissioner Ranallo and seconded by the Chair to approve as submitted the
i minutes of the H.R.A. meeting held November 13, 1984.
Motion carried unanimously.
Motion by Commissioner Ranallo and seconded by Secretary/Treasurer Marks to approve
payment of $105 to Dorsey & Whitney for legal services rendered the H.R.A. in
relation to the 202 senior housing development during October, 1984.
Motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Krier distributed copies of his proposed agenda and recommendations for action
related to the H.R.A. ' s acquisition of the irregular parcel of land containing
110,912 plus, square feet which is owned by the Walbon family at the corner of
Old Highway 8 and 33rd Avenue N.E. In his memorandum, the Consultant had listed
five developers who had indicated an interest in doing the project and Mr. Krier-
had attached to his memo copies of the real estate, fixture, review, and relocation
appraisals for the project.
As he had stated in his memorandum, Mr. Krier reiterated his recommendation that
the H.R.A. should authorize signature of the Purchase Agreement with the Walbons.
Although he and Mr. Childs had negotiated with the Walbons without first securing
a redeveloper or developing a Redevelopment or Tax Increment Plan which would have
to be accomplished before the redevelopment could occur, the Consultant said he
based that recommendation on the positive neighborhood response to the proposed
townhome redevelopment of the property and the demonstration of interest of
developers in doing the project as well as the fact that the Walbon's had an
opportunity to acquire relocation property, which was contingent upon the sale of
their property and the agreement had to be closed before December 28th, with little
chance of extension of the offer. Mr. Krier indicated he perceived the Walbons
might withdraw their offer to sell their property if that happened.
Commissioner Ranallo indicated that, in view of the problems with financing which
had been experienced with the Kenzington project, he would be very wary of having
the H.R.A. acquire any more land without a concrete proposal from a developer.
The Secretary/Treasurer indicated he perceived the H.R.A. would be gambling no
matter which course of action was taken and he pointed out that the agreement called
j for the Walbon's leasing the land and paying for the utilities, insurance, and other
operating costs until their.-new building is completed, which would at least- pay
the interest in the interim.
!
-2-
The H.R.A: decision was to proceed with -the Purchase-Agreement as long as it was
made contingent upon securing a. redevel-oper. Mr. . .Soth said -he perceived that, •
if the Walbons would accept -that contingency, they would probably not object too
...-strenuously to-.the: addition of the rezoning of t.he.-.property: and 'a Redevelopment :.
and Tax Increment Plan as well .
Mr. Krier then 'recommended he and Mr. Childs be- authorized to take proposals from
developers which could be presented for H.R.A. consideration at the December 18th
meeting. The Executive Director said that would give him time to inform the
Planning :Commission of the latest developments in the Walbon matter during their
December 11th meeting. Mr. Childs also suggested the acquisition be financed
internally by the City and that the 202 funding be incorporated for bonding when
.the 202 funding is available. Mr. Soth agreed that the property would have to ,be
bought by the City, not the H.R.A.
Motion by Councilman Enrooth and seconded by Councilman Ranallo to adjourn the
St. Anthony Housing and Redevelopment Authority at 10:50 P.M.
Motion carried unanimously.
Respectfully submitted,
Helen Crowe, Secretary

DATE: December 14 , 1984
TO: St. Anthony Housing and Redevelopment Authority
FROM: David Childs , Executive Director
SUBJECT: Phases II and III Property Acquisition - Arkell
Development
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The attached memo from Arkell Development is a clear and concise
presentation of the issue relating to the City ' s acquisition of the
property for Phases II and III of the Kenzie Terrace Project.
Under the circumstances , if Arkell were to request that we begin
acquisition of Phases II and III at this time or any time in the 'near
future , I would recommend that the City not begin any acquisition at
this time .
No debt has been incurred relating to Phase I and about $300 ,000
initial debt will be required relating to the 202 project . With this
very minimal exposure , we are in an excellent financial position
relating to the project . In fact, we are presently in a no loss
situation with a $400 ,000 Letter of Credit and about $300 ,000 in
total pending debt. Thus , I recommend that our move into Phases II
and III be carefully considered.
The one-year extension is a reasonable request and Bill Soth is
drafting the proper documentation for granting an extension. Your
other alternative would be to find Arkell Development in default and
draw on their Letter of Credit. That is not a recommended alternative
at this time.
Steve Yurick will be present to answer any questions that you may
have about the extension or other aspects of the Kenzie Terrace
Project.

Re: Extension of time for progressing with Phases II and III
Dear Members
According to provisions of our Redevelopment Agreement
for the Kenzie Terrace area, we are scheduled to advise you
to proceed with the acquisition of the property for
Phases II and III by December 31, 1984 .
The plan as presently approved calls for a combination of
202 rental housing and general market-rate condominiums for
this site . The rental portion through Walker is progressing
• and the existing plan for acquisition should be maintained
for that portion.
We hereby request a twelve month extension of time to
notify the HRA to proceed with any further acquisition of
Phase II or III property for three primary reasons . First,
we have all heard or experienced the difficulty in obtaining
financing for seniors condominiums and have learned that
financing for market rate condos is even more difficult,
if not virtually impossible at this time. This is directly
related to general market conditions in the condominium and
housing industry. Second, the City of St. Anthony ' s
exposure has been kept to a minimum through the acquisition
and sale of Phase I property and we suggest now is not
an appropriate time to change that position. Finally, we
feel it appropriate to have Phase I 80-85% sold out prior to
commencing marketing on other condo units.
As a result, we are asking for the additional flexibility to
determine a time during calendar 1985 to advise you to
proceed with acquiring the .balance of the property.
