20 B. Councilmembers.
21 Councilmember Wagner reported his attendance at a St. Anthony Merchants Association
22 Meeting. Their annual fair will be held on Saturday, August 16, 1997, and will include
23 kiddie rides and drawings. The Association also voted to move their lunch meetings from the
24 Stonehouse to the Great Dragon. Wagner noted that the Great Dragon is a member of the
25 Association.
26 Wagner noted a pin he was wearing for the ACTION group (previously known as the Healthy
27 Youth/Healthy Community group). He reported that over twenty people of this group walked
28 in the VillageFest parade and distributed buttons and t-shirts. There appeared to be a lot of
29 response and respect generated there. This group is working with the schools in St. Anthony
30 to distribute the ACTION materials. They are also sending a letter to the City to request the
31 funds the City has previously offered to donate.
32 Wagner reported his recent attendance at Trillium Park, where the Gardeners Club was
33 working to clean up. He noted there was more vandalism in the park. Three of the water
34 heads were unscrewed and thrown to the side of the road. Also the letters from the bulletin •
35 board, that is provided by the Kiwanis, were torn off and broken. Upon speaking with the
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
August 12, 1997
• Page '3
1 Fire Department, they reported this is the second time this has happened in one week.
2 Wagner stressed the vandalism in City parks needs to be addressed.
3 Wagner reported his attendance at National Night Out sites with Police Chief Engstrom.
4 They visited a total of eight sites. Although attendance was good, Wagner stated it was
5 somewhat diminished by the rainfall. Despite the rainfall, it appeared to be a good chance for
6 neighbors to get out and know each other better.
7 A. Recognition of Police Officers Jack Christman and Ron Lehner For Their Actions in
8 the Apprehension of Suspects in a Recent Homicide.
9 Police Chief Richard Engstrom reported that on August 1, 1997, while on duty in the City of
10 Lauderdale, Officer Lehner spotted a young juvenile attempting to steal a car. When he
11 investigated the juvenile fled. After a brief chase on foot, assisted by Officer Christman, two
12 suspects were apprehended. This resulted in the clearing of a homicide which had occurred in
13 St. Paul hours before. All property was recovered, the two suspects and a third suspect were
14 charged.
15 Police Chief Engstrom presented a Letter of Commendation to Officers Ronald E. Lehner, a
16 four year veteran of the St. Anthony Police Department and Jack C. Christman, a six year
408 veteran. He congratulated both officers for excellent police work.
Mayor Ranallo presented Officers Lehner and Christman with a plaque commending them for
19 outstanding community service. He complimented both officers on the outstanding work they
20 and the entire police department performs for the City of St. Anthony. He thanked them for
21 their service.
22 B. Councilmembers - Continued.
23 Councilmember Faust reported that he, Councilmember Enrooth and City Manager Morrison
24 had attended the first Storm Drainage Task Force meeting on July 30, 1997. The Task Force
25 is off to a good start and has good technical assistance that will help to provide a long term
26 solution to the problem.
27 Faust reported he will attend a League of Minnesota Cities meeting on Fiscal Futures on
28 Thursday, August 14, 1997 and will report back to the Council at the next meeting.
29 Councilmember Enrooth reported VillageFest went quite well in spite of the weather. A
30 wrap-up meeting will be held on Monday, August 18, 1997 and he will report back to the
31 Council at the next meeting.
32 C. Mayor.
33 Mayor Ranallo reported his attendance at the neighborhood meeting on storm water drainage
14 on August 4, 1997. He reported the meeting was well attended by approximately 85 people.
35 Mayor Ranallo reported Senator John Marty has sent a letter to Governor Carlson requesting
36 $1 million to help pay for damages to homes in the City of St. Anthony. Ranallo stated he

August 12, 1997
Page 4 •
1 had called Marty's office today and was informed that a special session will be held on
2 August 19, 1997.
3 Mayor Ranallo reported that tomorrow he and City Manager Morrison will be meeting with
4 Hennepin County Commissioner Stenglein and Ramsey County Commissioner Weisner to
5 discuss funding possibilities. Ranallo also reported he had received a letter from Bruce Vento
6 which mentioned the use of CDBG Funds. Ranallo stated he was concerned that the CDBG
7 Funds would require too many restrictions to be useful.
8 Mayor Ranallo reported that VillageFest was a great success. The committee is in need of a
9 new chairperson for next year. Mr. Jacobs and Mr. Bartz have led the committee for the past
10 three years and have done an outstanding job but the job is quite tasking. Ranallo reported
11 that Friday, August 15, 1997, there will be a party for all the volunteers involved with
12 VillageFest. Councilmembers are also invited.
13 1. Mary Bower Comments.
14 Ms. Bower thanked City Manager Morrison for the efforts he made in resolving the problem
15 of the Wisconsin Central train stopping on the tracks across from Mirror Lake Manor and
16 leaving the engine run for hours. - She noted the problem did stop for awhile but started again
17 last Sunday.
18 D. City Manager. •
19 City Manager Mornson reported the Building Inspector process is more costly. There
20 normally are two fees charged by the Building Inspector and the current Inspector, Duane
21 Grace has only been charging one fee. The funds to pay this are structured into the fees
22 received from building permits.
23 Morrison reported the Public Works Director's last day is November 21, 1997. The ad for the
24 position will be in the Star Tribune and League of Minnesota Cities bulletin. The closing
25 date is September 9, 1997.
26 Morrison reported that due to recent legislation the levy can be increased from the projected
27 $36,000, a 2.4% increase, to $59,000, a 3.6% increase. Morrison suggested the City increase
28 the levy to the $59,000 figure as they can reduce it at a later date but cannot increase the
29 figure. He also reported the Truth in Taxation statements have been changed. They will now
30 include the 1997-98 budget, 1997 and 1998 taxes and percent of increase.
31 There was Council consensus to discuss the levy increase at the September work session.
32 Morrison reported he is still working with the contractor to have the City Hall project
33 completed. . He noted the second portion of that contract is the site preparation for the tennis
34 court area. Due to the leakage of an underground storage tank on that site, the excavation
35 costs have increased. The HRA will consider a change order tonight for an increase in cost •
36 for excavation in the amount of$3,850.00. The cost may increase even more. Morrison
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
August 12, 1997
• Page 5
1 noted the City does have insurance through the League of Minnesota Cities which will
2 reimburse all costs of excavation related to this issue.
3 Momson reported the bond proceeds for the new Liquor Store will be issued on August 20,
4 1997. The steel for the project is on backload. This has not effected the schedule of the
5 project and opening of the store is still anticipated between October 21 and November 1,
6 1997. The Council will be considering several change orders at the September meeting. The
7 funds for the change orders were included in the budget but specific costs had not been
8 determined at that time.
9 Mornson reported he will be meeting with Hennepin and Ramsey Counties tomorrow in
10 regard to funding for the flood victims. He will also be talking with CDBG staff in regard to
11 potential funding. He reported he has also placed a call to the Metropolitan Council and
12 noted Senator Marty has sent a letter to Governor Carlson requesting $1 million in assistance
13 based on the surveys received by the City last month.
14 Momson reported Hennepin County will be performing the Silver Lake Road overlay
15 September 9 to September 18, 1997.
16 Mornson reported the Town and Country Grocery Store will be closing at the end of the
0 month. He stated he has received 12 to 24 calls from residents in the area asking if the City
can do anything to get a new grocery store in the area. He noted this is a concern of the
19 population in that area.
20 Momson reported he has nominated Liquor Operation Manager Mike Larson as the Liquor
21 Manager of the Year.
22 Mornson reported a purchase agreement has been negotiated for the next house on Kenzie
23 Terrace. Today the City closed on the other house on Kenzie Terrace which was being
24 negotiated. Mornson reported the closing did include $2,500 down in an escrow account.
25 This is more than the typical amount down which is $500.
26 Mornson reported he will be providing a VillageFest cost summary of the cost of the time of
27 the Police, Fire and Public Works Departments.
28 Mornson reported he had met with Mike Peterson, President of the Sports Boosters, today and
29 Mr. Peterson presented the City with a $25,000 contribution. This brings their total
30 contribution to the City to $40,000.
31 Mornson reported the Brooklyn Center City Council presented the City of St. Anthony with a
32 Resolution of Appreciation for helping their City with the use of the wood chipper.
1. Dennis Cavanaugh Comments.
4 Dennis Cavanaugh, 2909 St. Anthony Boulevard, stated he would like to narrow the focus of
35 the communities discussion of the recent flooding on July 1, 1997. He felt everyone has
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
August 12, 1997
Page 6 •
1 treated all flooding on July 1, 1997 as equal, when in fact, a particular neighborhood was
2 impacted more severely because of a structural problem with the storm water sewer system in
3 that particular neighborhood. This neighborhood is District 6. He noted District 6 flooded
4 again on July 13, 1997. The problem is not just flooding on July 1, 1997 but is a long-term
5 embedded problem in District 6.
6 Mr. Cavanaugh stated the findings of fact of the Barr Engineering report of July 1992
7 included the following: City streets in District 6 flood with minor rainfall; Property-damage
8 has occurred; Flood damage can be reduced; City was developed without a comprehensive
9 drainage plan; and, City used a lower standard of design for storm sewers in District 6 than
10 those used today for storm sewers.
11 Mr. Cavanaugh stated the following three alternatives were proposed by Barr Engineering:
12 Non-structural alternative-building restrictions, flood protection, or flood plain evacuation -
13 cost $750,000; Improved Outlet Capacity - cost $16 million; or Ponding area construction -
14 cost $5.7 million.
15 Mr. Cavanaugh stated that based on the proposed alternatives, the Council felt the costs were
16 excessive and decided to adopt none of Barr's recommendations. The Council did establish a
17 $3.00 per quarter fee to develop a water fund to deal with the storm water sewer deficiency.
18 The fund today is $250,000. t
19 Mr. Cavanaugh stated that by the Council not adopting any of the three alternatives, a
20 decision was made. .The residents of District 6 have continued to be an integral part of the
21 City storm sewer system. Private property is being used at no cost to the other residents of
22 the City. The rest of the City residents benefit because (1) the ponding areas in District 6
23 serve as the storm water holding areas for the City and (2) all costs are avoided by the City.
24 Individual property owners in District 6 are expected to absorb the cost of the City storm
25 water surges.
26 Mr. Cavanaugh stated the impacted property in District 6 is being used for storm water
27 management without the just compensation that is required when private property is taken for
28 a public use. He suggested the following proposed action:
29
30 A. The City acknowledges that private residential property should not be a part of the
31 storm water management system in the City of St. Anthony without just compensation.
32 B. The City should immediately and formally accept liability for the property damage in
33 District 6 which resulted from the decision of the City not to implement any of the
34 recommendations in the Barr report.
35 C. Take immediate steps to reimburse residents of District 6 for out-of-pocket expenses
36 using the funds from the water fund. Purchase of the individual property may be
37 appropriate. •
38 D. Take necessary steps to increase the funding level of the water fund to cover any
39 additional out-of-pocket expenses and to provide adequate long-term storm water

Page 7
1 management. Also short-term non-structural and structural alternatives should be
2 aggressively pursued, e.g., implement Alternative A of the Barr report.
3 Mr. Cavanaugh stated that personally it made him sick to watch the residents in District 6
4 struggle with this huge economic load. He believed that if the county, state or federal
5 governments can help the City recoup its cost and can assist in a long-term solution - great.
6 The important issue is the immediate and necessary relief of the impacted citizens in District
7 6 by the City of St. Anthony.
8 Councilmember Enrooth stated it was unfortunate to have to have the July 1; 1997 incident to
9 bring this issue to this point. He noted that a public hearing was held in 1992 to discuss the
10 options available. At that time it was suggested that Silver Point Park be used as a holding
11 pond and the residents were against that option.
12 Mr. Cavanaugh stated that public policy issues are decisions that the individual does not
13 make. Public policy issues are part of the big picture. If residents object to funding the
14 improvements they are being selfish. He stated he was not affected by the flooding but would
15 be willing to talk with residents and explain the impact and the necessity of the
16 improvements.
Mayor Ranallo stated that if the City does not receive any aid from the county, state or
qt federal sources, the issue of spending $16 million to make the improvements may be put to a
19 referendum. He noted that even with making the improvements of$16 million, there is no
20 guarantee the problem will be solved.
21 Faust noted the purpose of the Task Force is to determine the most viable long-term solution.
22 Mr. Cavanaugh stated he was looking at short-term relief in the form of reimbursement of the
23 out-of-pocket expenses of the residents of District 6.
24 Mayor Ranallo noted there are residents who were affected in other areas of the City.
.25 Mr. Cavanaugh stated that if those residents passed the test of Barr Engineering for inadequate
26 storm sewer, they too should be covered. He noted this inadequacy is well documented in
27 District 6.
28 Morrison stated the City is attempting to obtain short-term relief for residents through the
29 special legislative session and also county, state and federal offices. The City and the Task
30 Force are trying to resolve the short-term problems first and then will address the long-term
31 problems.
2 Marks thanked Mr. Cavanaugh for helping to sharpen the public policy issue argument.
3 Anthony Kaczor, 3008-39th Avenue N., stated his frustration that Walt Sentryrz was moving
34 the Town and Country Grocery Store. He stated he felt it was the Quarry Center which put
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
August 12, 1997
Page 8
1 the Town and Country out of business. He felt the City had only been concerned with
2 Apache and CUB Foods and had forgotten about the Village. He stated that as a community,
3 efforts should be made in the Village area of St. Anthony.
4 City Manager noted that over the years the City did offer the commercial owners in that area
5 assistance.
6 Mayor Ranallo noted it was the landlord which was forcing the Town and Country to close,
7 and not the City.
8 Mike Jacobs, 2914-29th Avenue N.E., stated the landlord should be kicked out. The elderly
9 of that neighborhood rely on shopping at that store. He noted the City controls how the
10 homes are maintained and asked why they can't control the businesses.
11 Mr. Kaczor suggested that the Quarry Center residents are already complaining of increased
12 traffic in that area. He felt signage could be utilized in the Quarry area to direct people to a
13 restaurant located in the Village area. He stated he did not consider the Stonehouse to be a
14 restaurant. He considered it a bar that serves.food. He felt the Council should address the
15 split liquor issue.
16 Wagner stated the Council has discussed the split liquor issue and are willing to change but •
17 need a restaurant owner who wants to operate in the City of St. Anthony.
18 Faust noted the restaurant owners look at the demographics and determine there is not enough
19 traffic.
20 Mayor Ranallo stated the City had offered $140,000 to assist the Village shopping center.
21 The Council would like to see the addition of a restaurant in the City. Ranallo noted he had
22 approached a number of restaurant owners and they had all stated they were not interested.
23 Mr. Jacobs suggested this information has to be made available to the public in some manner.
24 Mr. Kaczor stated that he has started to see graffiti in the City. There needs to be a stop put
25 on the vandalism in the City. He suggested the vandalism be listed in the Bulletin with the
26 police reports.
27 Marks stated that when the City started redevelopment in St. Anthony, they started in the
28 Village Shopping Center area. The City attempted to provide enough residents in that area to
29 make the businesses viable. The businesses in that area should be more capable of doing
30 business now than they were 17 years ago. He stated he did not know the solution in the
31 particular case of the Town and Country where the landlord is not being responsible.
32 Sue Kozarck, 4029 Shamrock, asked if there were inspections or rules imposed on the owners •
33 of the building.
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
August 12, 1997
• Page 9
1 Mornson stated that the City can condemn the property but would still have to purchase the
2 property. The City cannot purchase property without a public purpose. The building code
3 only pertains to new construction, renovation and remodeling.
4 Mary Ann Kuharski, 2709 Pahl Avenue NE, questioned why the storm sewer improvements
5 would have to be put to a referendum. She stated residents in her area need assurance that
6 they will have a decent sewer system. She stated she had not been aware of the public
7 hearing in 1992 and questioned if this had been the last chance residents had for getting the
8 improvements. It was her understanding that St. Anthony could not have afforded the
9 solution even if the people had wanted it.
10 Enrooth stated there was a large public hearing held on the issue in 1992. It was not the last
11 chance for residents to get the improvements.
12 Mayor Ranallo stated the Council did not have the "guts" to spend $16 million of the tax
13 payers money without letting them know.
14 Ms. Kuharski stated she was offended because she paid taxes just like everyone else in the
15 City and she deserved good running water like the other residents. She stated she objected to
16 the referendum. She stated she needed to be assured that the improvements would be made
and felt that the improvements were a matter of justice.
18 Faust noted the Task Force will provide direction and the opportunity for the City to
19 readdress the improvement issue.
20 Mr. Jacobs stated his neighborhood is considered a leper colony. Their homes are worthless.
21 He stated his neighborhood is entitled to clean water, a clean environment and not to have to
22 worry every time it rains. He stated he backs up what Ms. Kuharski has said. He stated no
23 one knows the trauma his neighborhood is going through. It is a day to day thing that is
24 unacceptable. The frustration just continues to mount.
25 John Kuharski, 2709 Pahl Avenue NE, asked if anyone attempted to obtain funds from the
26 legislature in' 1992.
27 Mayor Ranallo stated the City did attempt to obtain funds in 1992 but were told there was not
28 a big problem.
29 Faust stated a dialogue was needed on the forefront to convince all parties involved that these
30 improvements are necessary.
31 Jane Hintz, 3503 Maplewood Drive, stated she was not affected by the flooding but has been
32 talking about it non-stop. She has found support in areas she did not expect. She felt there is
• more support than is thought.

Page 10
1 Ms. Kuharski stated the residents need to understand the severity of the issue. These
2 improvements are a basic need like the police and fire departments. The improvements will
3 be good for the reputation of the City and the resale of the property. She asked the Council
4 to have the guts and to go to bat for the effected residents.
5 Marks stated he would feel awkward putting this issue to a referendum as it may tend to put
6 to the people in the low part of the City against the people in the high area.
7 Faust stated the Council was very supportive of the need for the improvement but are trying
8 to resolve a problem that has continued for more than 20 years. He noted the solution needed
9 to be done right so future generations will not have to deal with this issue again.
10 Mr. Kuharski stated he is a member of the task force. As a task force member, he asked if
11 the $250,000 in the Storm Sewer Fund.could be appropriated now or if it was regulated. He
12 noted it is almost winter and some of the effected people do not even have an operable
13 furnace.
14 Mornson stated the fund can be used but the City does not want to expend these funds
15 because the other governmental agencies may then say the City does not need any assistance.
16 The City Council has control over how the funds are allocated.
M . Kuharski stated that in his response Representative Vento had stated he would support •
17 s p p pp ort the
18 effected residents in Ramsey County. She noted that he also represents residents in Hennepin
19 County and hoped that he realized this.
20 Mr. Jacobs noted he has been told that he earns too much money to qualify for low interest
21 loans.
22 Ms. Kozarck stated it is up to the residents to write to the agencies and say they have had
23 enough. They are tax payers too. She stated she has experienced a $50,000 loss and cannot
24 even get a contractor to come and fix the hole in her basement.
25 Mayor Ranallo stated it is the City's position that they do not want loans, they are requesting
26 outright funds.

28 VIII. PUBLIC HEARINGS - None.
29 IX. NEW BUSINESS.
30 A. Resolution 97-040 re: Receive Report and Order Plans and Specifications for 1998
31 Street and Water Main Improvement Project.
32 Mornson explained the project will include Harding Street from 34th Avenue NE to 36th
33 Avenue NE, Edward Street from 34th Avenue NE to 35th Avenue NE and Roosevelt Street •
34 from 34th Avenue NE to 35th Avenue NE. The projected 1999 improvements will include
35 these areas from 34th Avenue NE to 33rd Avenue NE to complete this section. The cost is ..•
36 estimated at $770,000.00 and will contain 2750 lineal feet. A $38.00 per foot assessment will

1 be made to each property owner. If the Resolution is approved, the next action will be to
2 hold neighborhood meetings. These meetings are tentatively scheduled for October 21, 1997.
3 There is also an MSA project on 33rd Avenue scheduled for 1998 and this will also be
4 discussed at the neighborhood meetings.

6 Motion by Marks, second by Faust to approve Resolution 97-040, re: receiving report and
7 order plans and specifications for.1998 Street and Water Main Improvement Project.
8 Motion carried unanimously.
9 B. Resolution 97-041, re: Deferrals of 1997 Street and Water Main Improvement Project.
10 Morrison explained that pursuant to Minnesota Statute 5435.193 and the City of St. Anthony's
11 assessment policy, persons who can prove that an assessment to their property would cause a
12 hardship, can defer the assessment. To qualify the applicant must be 65 years old or over, be

26 1. 7-08 Rick LoreaL 3821 Foss R oad - Sideyard Setback Variance Reguest,
27 Ms. Moore-Sykes reported Rick Lorenz, property owner of 3821 Foss Road, submitted an
28 application for a ten-foot side yard variance request to the City in order to construct an addition
29 to the tri-plea, converting the building into a four-plex with a double car tuck-under garage. Mr.
30 Lorenz intends to live in this new addition and is also planning to add a 10 x 20 storage room on
31 the back of the proposed addition. She advised the Certificate of Survey shows both the living
32 space addition and the storage room to be eight feet into the required 15-foot side yard setback.
33 The proposed layout of the addition is configured to take advantage of the existing driveway. Mr.
0 Lorenz is also proposing to remove an existing storage building to the east of the proposed
addition, thereby reducing the lot coverage and getting rid of an old building to improve the storm
36 water drainage of the property, This building appears to have been in the side yard as well.

1 The property is zoned R-4 and the lot is approximately 37,206 square feet. The existing tri-plea
2 building is 1,216 square feet. The proposed addition will be 928 square feet, increasing the
3 footprint of the building to 2,144 square feet. The total lot coverage by impervious surfaces is
4 10%and the floor area ratio with the proposed additional living space is ,06. With the exception
5 of side yard setback, the proposed addition meets the City's zoning and land use requirements.
6 The owner of the property is proposing to build the addition as his own residence. He has
7 indicated to Staff that the request for the variance is not based on economic considerations; since
8 he will be living in the proposed unit, he will not be receiving additional rental income. The
9 proposed project will not alter the essential character of the area as it is appropriately zoned for
10 this use and other multi-family properties exist in the neighborhood.
11 Ms. Moore-Sykes advised that Staff has received two inquiries from residents; one was simply to
12 better understand the project and he indicated he was in favor of the project because it would
13 "clean-up" the site with the removal of the existing storage building. The other caller was in
14 opposition because of the potential to increase parking problems that the additional unit may
15 cause. Ms. Moore-Sykes advised she explained that the proposal includes a tuck under two-car
16 garage, which may alleviate some parking problems.
17 Commissioner Franzese asked why the plan identifies it as a tuck under garage and not storage.
•
18 Ms. Moore-Sykes explained this is how it is indicated on the plan.
19 Chair Bergstrom opened the public hearing at 7:09 P.M.
20 Rick Lorenz, applicant, introduced Jack Kripentra(sp?), the builder of the project. Mr. Lorenz
21 explained he currently has a tri-plex without garage space and a storage building in the back
22 which is very old. He plans to construct a new garage and apartment to live in and will remove
23 the old storage building. He advised he has a problem with drainage during heavy rainfall. When
24 the old storage building is removed, it will create an area for a flood plain and reduce the flooding
25 problem. Mr. Kripentra explained this will be a walk-out type of unit.
26 Vice Chair Makowske stated he was not aware of the"gully"which exists.
27 Mr. Kripentra explained the drainage goes to the sedimentation pond by the lake and it is
28 imperative for this area to become cleared so the property drains properly. The current storage
29 building is quite large, very old, and is currently falling down.
30 Commissioner Thompson asked how long he has owned that property. Mr. Lorenz stated it has
31 been about three years and all tenants have cars but have to park on the driveways (one is asphalt
32 and the other is gravel). If approved, one of the tenants will have a garage to use.
33 Vice Chair Makowske inquired if the applicant is aware of the three conditions which the Planning
34 Commission is bound by the State to follow in recommending approval or denial of any variance.

I He explained that one of these conditions relates to undue hardship. He asked the applicant to
2 address why this would be an undue hardship.
3 Mr. Lorenz explained that when he purchased the tri-plex there was no garage, yet the City has an
4 ordinance requiring garages. Parking and shelter is needed plus the flooding problem needs to be
5 corrected for the lower unit. Also, the gravel driveway is deteriorating and needs to be updated.
b Commissioner Franzese complimented Mr. Lorenz on the improvements he has made to this.
7 property. She explained that some of the neighbors had questioned if the property had changed
8 hands because they saw remarkable upgrades on the property.
9 Vice Chair Makowske asked the audience to speak.
10 Bruce O'Brien, 3737 Foss Road and president of the Townhouse Association to the south of the
11 tri-plex, asked if this will remain a tri-plea, Mr. Lorenz explained it will change to a four-plex.
12 Mr. O'Brien asked if the driveways will all be asphalt. Mr Lorenz stated they will. Mr. O'Brien
13 stated the Townhomes (14 units) have also had drainage problems and he understands the need to
correct this problem. He stated they have had engineers view the drainage situation but they were
unable to find a solution. He stated his support for this request and stated he believes it will be a
great improvement that will benefit the entire neighborhood.
17 Commissioner Horst asked how this project will alleviate the drainage problems experienced by
18 the Townhouses. Mr. O'Brien stated it will not alleviate that problem but will be an overall
19 aesthetic improvement to the neighborhood.
20 Joyce Graff 3824 Foss Road, asked if this will be an addition to the existing tri-plex and if the
21 existing shed will be removed. Mr. Lorenz stated it will be removed.
22 Ms. Graff asked If the additional living unit will result in a parking problem. Vice Chair
23 Makowske stated the plan meets the City's parking requirement.
24 Chair Bergstrom closed the public hearing at 7:19 P.M.
25 Commissioner Horst commented on the existing slope to this property and asked if a PVC pipe
26 will be installed. Mr. Kripentra stated the PVC pipe was installed years ago as a drainage pipe.
27 With the use of an overhead, he reviewed the alignment of the pipe and location where it drains
28 into Mirror Lake.
29 Mr. Lorenz explained when the storage building is removed, it will allow a larger ponding area
0 where the water can stay until it drains out through the pipe.
31 Mr. Kripentra stated it is a natural area and they will install some landscaping.

1 Commissioner Horst inquired regarding the history of this property to turn it into a tri-plex use.
2 Mr. Kripentra stated when the townhouses were constructed, the same people owned most of this
3 land and remodeled the building(which was originally an old farmhouse)into a tri-plex. He
4 commented this is one of the older buildings in the area and had been deteriorating.
5 Commissioner Horst asked if it was changed from a single-family residence to a tri-plex when the
6 townhomes were constructed.
7 Ms. Graff stated it has been a tri-plex for the last 19 years.
8 Mr. O'Brien stated they have lived in the Townhouses for 20 years and the original builder of the
9 Townhouses remodeled the building 20 years ago. He stated that 20 years ago, the building was a
10 tri-plex.
11 Commissioner Thompson asked if there is room for more development. Mr. Lorenz,stated it is a
12 possibility but he has no plans at this time.
13 Commissioner Horst stated in looking at the house, he would like to see improvement to the area.
14 He stated this property is in a tough spot in being close to industrial and a newer townhome
15 development. Commissioner Horst stated he would be interested in how the architecture would
16 fit in with the existing structure.
17 Mr. Lorenz stated they will use the same type of siding, windows, shingles, and pitch of roof.
18 Mr. Kripentra displayed a sketch of the proposed addition as it would be viewed from the road.
19 He explained it will be set back a little from the existing building and they are attempting to
20 provide the appearance of a house with a two-car garage.
21 Commissioner Horst stated he is having difficulty in answering the hardship requirement of the
22 variance and asked if there is a better way to do this.
23 Mr. Kripentra stated there,is no other way to build garages due to the drainage problems.
24 Mr_ Lorenz explained the south end of the property is low.
25 Commissioner Horst asked if the lower unit is having drainage problems. Mr. Lorenz stated it is
26 and has become intolerable.
27 Commissioner Horst asked if this is the hardship resulting in the need to develop this addition.
28 Mr. Lorenz stated it is as well as the need for garage space, S
29 Commissioner Horst stated while this may be a problem, it may not be considered a hardship.

1 Mr. Kripentra stated it is hardship when heavy rains are received.
2 Commissioner Franzese stated she can reconcile the hardship requirement because of the way the
3 property is configured on three sides. She pointed out that with water draining on the south side
4 and removing the barn, it will create a holding pond and alleviate the drainage problem. She
5 noted there is no other location to build because of the topography of the property.
6 Commissioner Franzese stated she clearly sees a hardship.
7 Commissioner Gondorchin asked how this addition alleviates the water problem. Mr. Lorenz
8 explained that in July,when heavy rains were received, it created a stream through his back yard.
9 He thought perhaps the pipe was plugged but it was not and was taking as much water as it could.
10 Commissioner Gondorchin asked if an engineer has made the finding about alleviating the
11 drainage problem.
12 Mr. Lorenz stated he has not had an engineer study the drainage.
Commissioner Gondorchin stated he is having difficulty in finding a hardship and believes it is
more of a convenience than relieving a hardship. He stated he believes there is also an economic
benefit either now or when the units are sold. Commissioner Gondorchin stated the property is
16 set as it is unless the applicant changes its configuration. In addition, he would like expert
17 testimony that this addition will alleviate the drainage problem.
is Mr. Kripentra stated the storage building is currently acting like a dam in not allowing water to
19 drain properly.
20 Mr. Lorenz stated if the storage building is removed, he needs a place to store his equipment.
21 Commissioner Horst stated he understands that when the storage shed is removed, another
22 location is needed for storage and the applicant has indicated it will also eliminate the drainage
23 problem, and the hardship.
24 Commissioner Franzese stated the goal is to build a living quarters for the owner to occupy.
25 Commissioner Gondorchin stated it does not matter who occupies this unit, the owner or a tenant.
26 Commissioner Franzese stated there is no other location where Mr.Lorenz can build due to the
27 topography of the lot and water drainage to the south. This is the only place on the property that
28 is buildable. Commissioner Franzese reviewed a comment made at a meeting with the City's
residents about the recent flooding where the engineers indicated there is really no guarantee that
If it will not flood again. She inquired whether the applicant can be asked if they are sure it would
not flood again since,just recently, the City's engineers indicated there is no guarantee to
32 absolutely prevent flooding in the future.

1 Commissioner Gondorchin stated there have been no engineering study done on this parcel of
2 land.
3 Mr. Lorenz indicated that is correct.
4 Commissioner Gondorchin noted there is an opportunity to move earth to change the topography,
5 although that may be quite expensive. He stated he is having a difficult time, in his mind, to see a
6 clear cut hardship.
7 Motion by Franzese to recommend approval of Case 97-08, side yard setback variance request for
8 Rick Lorenz, 3821 Foss Road, to build an addition creating a four-plex with tuck under garage
9 and 10 foot side yard variance based on the following rationale:
10 1. The physical topography of the lot can be likened to a"three-sided meatloaf pan" and this
11 is the only buildable place on the lot;the north side of the current structure.
12 2. Removing the barn/accessory building will create more room on the lot to collect water as
13 a holding pond and help alleviate drainage problems.
14 3. The PVC pipe was installed by City but the water is not pooling properly to take
15 advantage of it but removing the barn should achieve that. '
16 4. This is a unique piece of property which will satisfy requirement 92.
17 5. The hardship (requirement#3) is caused by the City Ordinance for a side yard variance.
18 6. No one is speaking against the request but, rather, have affirmed it will enhance the
19 neighborhood.
20 There being no second to the motion, Vice Chair Makowske declared the motion out of order.
21 Motion.by Gondorchin, seconded by Horst, to recommend denial of Case 97-08, side yard
22 setback variance request for Rick Lorenz, 3821 Foss Road, based on the rationale that the request
23 does not satisfy the three conditions of hardship as required by the State of Minnesota.
24 Voting in favor: Commissioners Gondorchin, Horst, and Vice Chair Makowske. Voting against:
25 Commissioners Franzese and Thompson.
26 Motion carried.
27 Chair Bergstrom noted this request will be considered by the City Council at their meeting on
28 August 26, 1997,

30 1. St. Charles Borromeo Church -Proposed Construction of a Gathedne Place
31 Ms. Moore-Sykes reported that Gerry DeZelar, architect for St. Charles Borromeo, is in
32 attendance to present a proposal to the Planning Commission regarding the construction of an
33 additional building on site to be used as a gathering place. They have the space for the building,
34 but parking is and will be an issue for this project.

1 Currently,the church has 200 parking spaces, including the spaces designated for the school.
2 According to the City Ordinance and based on the current seating capacity of the church,they
3 need 400 parking spaces.
4 Gerry DeZelar, architect for the applicant, explained the proposed building will be used for a
5 gathering place after services and there will probably never be a time when the church will be
6 holding services and another event in the proposed building at the same time. Mr. DeZelar used
7 and overhead to identify the location of the current building, existing landscaping, convent,
8 proposed structure, and areas for removal of bituminous and concrete to provide a location of
9 new landscaping. He noted the proposal results in 65%building or a 2.2% increase in the amount
10 of structure.
11 Commissioner Franzese asked if the 2.2%increase in structure on the ground takes into account
12 they are adding more green space. I&. DeZelar stated it takes into account that they are adding
13 more"green." He explained that impervious areas are considered in the City's calculation of
14 structures.
Mr. DeZelar noted there will be 12,000 square feet of building but it is calculated as only 5,000
square feet since they are also removing blacktop and asphalt.
17 Commissioner Gondorchin asked if this is the area where parking will be lost.
18 Mr. DeZelar stated it is not and reviewed the site plan to identify the areas where parking exists
19 and locations where several parking stalls will be lost due to the building's configuration. He
20 explained how they will use the level of the building to become handicap accessible.
21 1Vis. Moore-Sykes explained the Church has always been short of parking spaces. Thus, the
22 requirement for a parking variance.
23 Mr. DeZelar reviewed the floor plan of the proposed building and noted the location of the
24 entrance, atrium lobby, multipurpose hall which can seat 300 for a banquet, catering kitchen, and
25 the chapel which will be open 24-hours a day.
26 Vice Chair Makowske asked what type of events they see happening in the proposed addition.
27 Mr. DeZelar explained gathering areas have become an important aspect of church services in
28 welcoming and greeting people. He stated other uses could be to hold a wake, a seminar, or
29 lecture area for the school. He stated there are no plans for allowing wedding receptions due to
30 the potential of deterioration. With regard to banquet seating, it could be used after funerals for
41 lunches or for boy scout banquets.
Mr. DeZelar described the elevations of the proposed addition and current buildings. He stated it
33 will be surfaced in stone and brick that matches the other buildings and will result in combining
34 the look of the structures.

1 Commissioner Gondorchin noted most of these activities currently take place at the convent and
2 inquired regarding the parish's position on the convent.
3 Mr. DeZelar explained that only four to five nuns are in residence and, in the future, the convent
4 may become administrative offices.
5 Commissioner Gondorchin asked if the Church is already 200 parking spaces short. Ms. Moore-
6 Sykes stated this is correct.
7 Mr. DeZelar reported the current church capacity is 1,000 seats but they are in the process of
8 removing the pews and respacing them. He explained the pews are being respaced because the
9 current configuration is too tight. The reconfiguration will eliminate 100 seats. He stated he
10 believes the parking will be adequate and noted the ordinance was adopted in the mid-1970's after
11 the Church was built (1958).
12 In response to Vice Chair Makowske, Mr. DeZelar stated they have found that the parking spaces
13 (in the parking lot) fill up but there is also parking on neighborhood streets and no one has
14 _ complained.
15 Commissioner Gondorchin pointed '
Co p out the Church is not proposing to add a lot of impervious
16 surface, but some. He inquired regarding the drainage impact to residents.
17 Mr. DeZelar stated drainage is an issue since there is no storm drainage in the immediate vicinity.
is He pointed out the location of the nearest catch basin on 27th Avenue which is part of the
19 Minneapolis system. Mr. DeZelar explained the water is currently directed into dry wells and
20 allowed to percolate into the ground. He noted the location of a large drywell which will be
21 disturbed due to the addition. He explained their intention to install a rainwater line on the east
22 side of the Church, route it under the building and parallel to the walk, and then day lighting it
23 onto the ground to allow the water to fall into the dry well or be routed to the catch basin on 27th
24 Avenue.
25 Commissioner Gondorchin inquired regarding what type of storm event this is forecasted to
26 handle.
27 Mr.DeZelar stated he is unable to answer that question but this is how the storm water is
28 currently being handled.
29 Commissioner Horst asked if the Church and grounds are not in compliance regarding ground
30 coverage. Mr. DeZelar stated the ordinance says a 37%maximum and their proposal is to
31 increase to 65%.
32 Commissioner Horst asked if this is part of the issue. Ms. Moore-Sykes stated she will research
33 that aspect.

1 Commissioner Horst stated the Planning Commission had debated other.applications that were
2 only two parking spaces short. He asked how the Planning Commission would consider this and
3 what rationale could be cited.
4 Ms. Moore-Sykes stated she contacted other churches in the area and had responses from three of
5 the five. The other two churches have similar problems with having to use off-street parking and
6 several have problems with lot coverage as well due to parking areas. She reported several are
7 well beyond the 35% required in R-1 districts. However, churches are conditional uses in
8 Residential Districts and may be exempt from that lot coverage requirement.
9 Mr. DeZelar advised that in order to comply with 200 more parking spots they would need an
10 additional 2.5 acres of land which would displace homes and residents.
11 Commissioner Franzese stated there is no lot coverage requirement for Commercial, only R-1 and
12 R-2 Residential.
13 Commissioner Gondorchin concurred that parking is a self-limiting aspect.
Vice Chair Makowske recapped that parking and Iot coverage may be issues to address.
15 Mr. DeZelar added that setback may be another issue. According to ordinance, the building needs
16 a 25 foot rear setback or 20% of the depth of the lot. He explained that in this case, 20%would
17 be 73.5 feet from the property line which means the corner is nine feet into the setback.
18 Commissioner Horst stated this may require the need to request a variance. With regard to the
19 parking situation, he stated there is a problem getting down St. Anthony Boulevard when cars are
20 parked on both sides. He stated he would like to see the parking issue addressed by the architect
21 as well as reasoning for a setback variance.
22 Commissioner Franzese asked staff to obtain a ruling from the City Attorney whether the parking
23 issue is grandfathered in since the church was built 20 years prior to adoption of the Parking
24 Ordinance. She noted that a conditional use permit is not lost in this type of situation where an
25 addition is being proposed.
26 Vice Chair Makowske stated the use is non-confirming currently so if left, no adjustments would
27 be required. However,with an addition, it could be required to be brought up to Code.
28 Commissioner Franzese stated she does not know if this will be an issue.
Ms. Moore-Sykes stated the City Attorney has indicated it needs to be dealt with by either
considering a variance or changing the Ordinance,
31 Commissioner Gondorchin inquired regarding the potential for a conflict of interest with Planning
32 Commissioners who are members of St. Charles.

1 Vice Chair Makowske stated this was checked and the City Attorney indicated there is only a
2 conflict of interest if the Planning Commissioner will derive direct economic benefit by the way
3 they vote on the proposed project. He explained the need for the Planning Commission to find a
4 hardship when considering a variance request. Vice Chair Makowske encouraged the applicant to
5 make creative use of the property.
6 Mr. DeZelar stated the City's ordinances create the hardship and to fulfill the required parking
7 spaces it will create a hardship because they will need to displace homes and families. If not
8 approved, it will pull away from the worship functions which go on in today's churches.
9 Vice Chair Makowske suggested when the formal application is presented to the Planning
10 . Commission, that the applicant be prepared to speak to the hardship issue, the parking shortage,
11 the lot coverage issue, and landscaping.
12 Commissioner Horst stated he believes it will be difficult to find a hardship or to determine there
13 is no other building which could be built. He stated he would like to find a way, if possible, for
14 the project to be exempted from that setback requirement without the need for a variance.
15 Mr. DeZelar noted the garage is also within the setback. '
16 Commissioner Horst stated he would have a hard time recommending a variance be granted for
17 the setback.
18 Vice Chair Makowske stated this is an R-1 zone so the requirements to be met would be those of
19 an R-1 single family dwelling. He stated if there are several other churches with these identical
20 problems, perhaps the Planning Commission should revisit that issue on a larger basis (rather than
21 just an individual variance).
22 Chair Makowske noted this will be presented formally and a public hearing held on this
23 application at the September 16, 1997, meeting.

25 1. Proposed Amendment to Sign Ordinance for Professional Buildings

7 2. Comprehensive Plan Update.
8 Ms. Moore-Sykes noted the July 30, 1997, letter received from W. Paul Farmer, the City of
9 Minneapolis Planning Director, indicating he has examined the review draft of the Comprehensive
10 Plan update and found it to be a professional document,'appropriate for a fully-developed first-
11 ring suburb and meeting the central goal of retaining the village-like character of St. Anthony
12 Village. She reviewed the number of agencies which were sent a copy of the Comprehensive Plan
13 after it was adopted by the City Council. All of those entities have 60 days to respond but so far
this is the only response.
40 In response to Commissioner Horst, Ms. Moore-Sykes explained the purpose is to mitigate
16 incompatible land uses between bordering cities. She advised this process is on schedule.
17 IX. COMMENTS
18 Commissioner Horst reported the City is losing Town& Country Foods and commented this may
19 be the start of erosion of the south end as the Comprehensive Plan predicted. He stated this may
20 not impact the tax base but is something to be aware of
21 Commissioner Thompson stated he drove by the Lorenz property and was amazed and impressed
22 with the mini-storage business located to the north. He stated this looked like a super business.
23 Commissioner Franzese asked Staff for an update on Apache Plaza and if Staff had been able to
24 research the commercial lot coverage requirement used by other cities.
25 Ms. Moore-Sykes provided a brief update on Apache Plaza and explained she only had a chance
26 to call one community which had no lot coverage requirement.
27 Commissioner Gondorchin asked about a property on Stinson Boulevard and whether different
28 conditions exist for the fenced portion versus open portion relative to storage of vehicles. He
29 reported the area outside of the fenced area has many totaled out vehicles with no salvage value.
0 Commissioner Gondorchin stated this is very unsightly.
31 Ms. Moore-Sykes stated she will check with Staff to determine whether this is a violation of City
32 Code.

2 Code.
3 Commissioner Gondorchin asked if the shopping center on the south side of St. Anthony still has
4 a foreign owner. Ms. Moore-Sykes answered affirmatively.
5 Commissioner Horst reported the owner visited the property last year for first time in 15 years.
6 Commissioner Gondorchin inquired regarding the owner's intent. Commissioner Horst stated it is
7 to sell the center. He commented on the difficulty of getting a timely response to repairs when the
8 building is not locally-owned.
9 Vice Chair Makowske stated he attended the resident's flood meeting and was amazed by the high
10 attendance. He named the elected officials who were either in attendance or represented at this
11 meeting.
12 Ms. Moore-Sykes advised that City Staff has met with all of these representatives and is
13 attempting to find short-term financial assistance for these residents. However, this may not
14 happen due to focus on the major flooding of Bast Grand Forks by the Red River. She reported
15 Staff did attempt to provide testimony before the legislative committee but were unable to since
16 their focus was East Grand Forks. Ms. Moore-Sykes advised the question is what the City can do
17 in the future to alleviate this from happening again. She noted the City's water engineers said that
18 even if the City had spent money on a drainage system in 1982 it would not have prevented the
19 flooding in 1997 since it was caused when the rain fell too fast for any system to keep up with it.
20 Vice Chair Makowske announced that the next flood meeting will be held on Wednesday, August
21 27, 1997, at City Hall.

FROM: Kim Moore-Sykes, Management Assistant
ITEM: 97-08 Side Yard Variance Request
Rick Lorenz, 3821 Foss Road
BACKGROUND:
Mr. Rick Lorenz, property owner of 3821 Foss Road, submitted an application for a 10-
foot Side Yard Variance Request to the City in order to construct an addition to the tri-
plex, converting the building into a four plex with a double car tuck-under garage. Mr. '
Lorenz intends to live in this new addition.
He is also planning to add a 10 x 20 storage room on the back of the proposed addition
that will house equipment that is currently stored in an existing storage building. The
Certificate of Survey shows both the proposed apartment addition and the storage room to
be 8 feet into the required 15 foot side yard setback. The proposed layout of the addition
is configured to take advantage of the existing driveway. Mr. Lorenz is also proposing to
remove the existing storage building to the east of the proposed addition, thereby reducing
the lot coverage and getting rid of an old building which will improve the storm water
drainage of the property. This building appears to have been in the side yard as well.
ANALYSIS:
The property is zoned R-4 and the lot is approximately 37,206 square feet. The existing
tri-plex building is 1,216 square feet. The proposed addition will be 928 square feet,
increasing the foot print of the building to 2,144 square feet. The total lot coverage by
impery ious surfaces is 10% and the floor area ratio with the proposed additional living
space is .06. With the exception of side yard setback, the proposed addition meets the
City's zoning and land use requirements.
While these dimensions indicate that there is enough land to build the addition so that it
would not encroach into the side yard, the topography of the site makes an alternative plan
difficult because of existing berms on three sides of the lot and the naturally occurring
slopping of the area to the south.
The owner of the property is proposing to build the addition as his own residence. He has
indicated to Staff that the request for the variance is not based on economic considerations;
since he will be living in the proposed unit, he will not be receiving additional rental
income. The proposed project will not alter the essential character of the area as it is
appropriately zoned for this use and other multi-family properties exist in the
neighborhood.
Staff has received two inquiries from residents; one was simply to better understand the
project. He indicted that he was in favor of the project because it would "clean-up" the '
site with the removal of the existing storage building.
The other caller was in opposition because of the potential to increase parking problems
that an additional unit may cause.• I explained that the proposal includes a tuck under 2-car'
garage, which may alleviate some parking problems. The caller indicated that she was
pleased to hear about the 2-car garage.

To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing this letter concerning my Triplex located at 3821 Foss Rd. There are two hardships which I would like to
have addressed. The first being my need for a 2 car garage and the second being a substantial water drainage problem
which has caused repeated problems on the property.
Proposal-To remove a very old and unsightly storage building and build a new attached 2 car tuck under garage
with a 2 bedroom apartment above it. I would also request a 10'x 20' storage locker as part of this structure.
Response to City Concerns
1. How would this variance relieve an undue hardship?
a. It would allow me to aquire some much needed garage space
(b. )It would allow me to delete a unsightly gravel driveway on the North side of my home and replace it with a new
asphalt driveway.
(c. )Removing the.old storage building would allow me to.create a drainage area at an existing 6"P.V.C. drainage
pipe which is was intended to carry water away from the house but currently cannot handle any substantial rain
or spring thawing. With my proposal there would be a small flood plain created to hold the water until the pipe
can carry away the excess water.
(d. )I believe the asthetic value would be greatly improved.
Thank you for your time and cosideration
Sincerely,
Rick Lorentz

Re: Proposed amendments to Zoning Ordinances regarding medical
laboratories
iDear Kim:
I have reviewed your memo of June 17 regarding the above. I am afraid the
language that is proposed. to be added at the end of Section 1635.01 presents a
number of problems. What this would do is open up the entire.list of permitted
uses to any other uses which an individual might claim are "compatible" with the
enumerated uses. I do not think this is a good idea, and it might even be challenged
as being unconstitutionally vague. By being very specific about the uses, someone
with a new uses that is not covered by one of the permitted uses needs to seek an
amendment'to the zoning ordinance.
If the suggested language were used, such new uses could be approved
without notice, without a hearing and without any amendment of the zoning
ordinance. I think residents and city officials might be uncomfortable with any such
provision. In addition, there would be no standards set forth in the ordinance as to
what is or is not compatible. This would leave open the question of who would
make this determination. If nothing else was specified, the zoning official would
need to make the determination. This could put the zoning official in a very
difficult position.
. As we discussed by telephone, I agree with your suggestion that the medical
laboratories be included as a permitted conditional use rather than a permitted use.
This would give the Planning Commission and Council greater control over such

Re: Proposed sign ordinance amendments•
. Dear Kim:
Enclosed are my suggested revisions to the sign ordinances regarding ground
signs in residential districts. I think we should amend paragraph (1) of Section
1400.12, Subd. 1 to make it clear that the sign may identify only the resident, not the
resident's business. The other changes are simply clarifications and changes to make
the language consistent with the rest of the ordinances.
If you have any further questions on this, or need anything further, please let
me know.
Very y ours,
