1 VI. REPORTS FROM COMMISSIONS AND STAFF.
2 A. Planning Commission—August 19, 2003.
3 1. Resolution 03-073, re: St. Anthony Shopping Center, 2900 Pentagon Drive;
4 comprehensive sign amendment.
5 Planning Commissioner Todd Hanson noted a public hearing had been held August 19, 2003,
6 regarding the St. Anthony Shopping Center, LLC, request to amend its comprehensive sign plan.
7 He added the Center had recently signed leases with two tenants that had regional and national
8 scope: Bumper to Bumper and Subway. He explained these tenants had developed a logo with
9 uniform signage to promote their stores and gain recognition; however, the current
10 comprehensive sign plan did not provide sufficient flexibility of sign design to accommodate
11 regional and national tenants who had distinctive and uniform signage for all their locations.
12 Commissioner Hanson stated the petitioner was requesting an amendment to the St. Anthony
13 Shopping Center's comprehensive sign plan to allow for logo signs which deviated from what
14 was currently allowed.
15
16 It was noted staff recommended approval of the comprehensive sign plan amendment for the St.
17 Anthony Shopping Center, recognizing the marketplace with logo signs and the need for store
18 recognition.
19
20 Councilmember Horst stated he was involved with the original sign plan, which was meant to
21 keep a consistent, modern appearance to the shopping center. He noted the other tenants had
22 been expected to follow the plan. He indicated he would be disappointed if this sign amendment
23 allowed signs like the current Bumper-to-Bumper sign, as he felt"it stuck out like a garage-sale
24 sign."
25
26 Councilmember Horst noted the national franchises were not locked into only one sign. He
27 discussed ways the signs could be changed to be acceptable. He stated a quality tenant should be
28 expected to have quality signage. Councilmember Horst indicated he was opposed to amending
29 the signage criteria.
30
31 Commissioner Hanson asked a representative of the petitioner, if he had a rebuttal. The
32 representative responded he did know Bumper to Bumper had other criteria they could use;
33 however, he felt the City did not want to place restrictions on good employers who were bringing
34 jobs and businesses to the City. He added he understood examples of signs had been submitted.
35
36 Councilmember Horst indicated the example he had seen was the kind of sign the City had been
37 trying to avoid in the shopping center. He stated he did not want to prohibit tenants but wanted
38 to provide a consistent look to the shopping center. The petitioner's representative responded
39 these were reasonable thoughts; however, he did not think Bumper to Bumper could reengineer
40 its signs for each community.
41
42 Councilmember Horst indicated he felt Bumper to Bumper had a wide range of sign choices.
43 The petitioner noted he would hesitate to put up a lot of barriers to bringing them into the City.
44 He added updated signage that would be more consistent for the Center could be considered.
45

City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
August 26, 2003
Page 3
1 Councilmember Faust asked if this was the first sign that would be different from the others.
2 Councilmember Horst responded it was and described the difference between what was
3 acceptable and the sign Bumper to Bumper wanted to use.
4
5 Councilmember Thuesen indicated some businesses were able to custom-make their signs, since
6 other tenants had been expected to stay with what was expected.
7
8 Councilmember Horst noted he had seen catalogs of signs for franchisers to fit the criteria across
9 the country and they would just have to match the criteria with what was in their catalogs.
10
11 Councilmember Thuesen asked Councilmember Horst what his thoughts had been when he
12 opened up his business. Councilmember Horst responded it would have been easier to put up a
13 "canned" sign; however, all the surrounding businesses had been expected to meet the criteria.
14 He restated he did not want to discourage business from coming into the City; however, he felt
15 meeting the criteria would not be a hardship for either Bumper to Bumper or Subway.
16
17 Discussion followed regarding the procedures and time limits involved in having the Planning
18 Commission revisit this issue. City Manager Morrison explained a 60-day extension could be
19 given if Council sent the amendment request back to the Planning Commission.
20
21 Councilmember Horst stated he would recommend sending the amendment request back to the
22 Planning Commission.
23
24 Councilmember Thuesen noted one of the positive things about the shopping center was the
25 uniformity of its signage. He added he wrestled with this issue because he did not want to
26 discourage good businesses; however, he felt Councilmember Horst had made good arguments.
27 Councilmember Thuesen stated he would be comfortable sending this issue back to the Planning
28 Commission.
29
30 Councilmember Horst stated the City could extend the period of time the banner was allowed
31 until the issue was resolved.
32
33 Mayor Hodson agreed. He stated he did not want to put the City in a position where it was
34 discouraging businesses, especially in a shopping center that was in need of improvement.. He
35 agreed with moving toward a compromise for the sign.
36
37 City Attorney Gilligan indicated an extension of 60 days should be allowed to consider the
38 resolution.
39
40 Motion by Councilmember Horst to send Resolution 03-073, approving an amendment to the
41 Comprehensive Sign Plan for the St. Anthony Shopping Center, back to the Planning
42 Commission and offering a 60-day extension on the application from St. Anthony Shopping
43 Center, LLC.
44
45 Motion carried unanimously.

1 Commissioner Hanson noted the Apache Plaza project was currently being considered and
2 wondered what would be done with the locally owned businesses and franchise locations. He,
3 added he was somewhat disappointed with the decision, as businesses and climates change. He
4 indicated he did obtain good information to bring back to the Planning Commission.
5
6 It was noted the City had been considering many variances recently, and the suggestion was
7 made that research regarding changes should be conducted and recommendations/information
8 given regarding issues such as the number of parking spaces required at restaurants.
9
10 B. Review Northwest Quadrant Planned Unit Development (PUD).
11
12 John Shardlow, DSU, noted the City of St. Anthony Village had begun to proactively pursue a
13 planning process for the redevelopment of the 250-acre Northwest Quadrant of the City. Mr.
14 Shardlow gave a project overview, which included the goals of the planning process; noted the
15 public meeting schedule and milestones; discussed the consistency of the comprehensive plan;
16 explained the Planned Unit Development (PUD); noted the process for PUD review; reviewed
17 the Design Framework Manual.
18
19 Mr. Shardlow explained site drawings from within the Design Framework Manual. He noted the
20 plans included the following: a very strong main street through the center; a strong public open
21 space within the center of the project; strong visual corridors; strong ties to park, which was
22 designed to substantially improve the runoff and would include a high level of amenities,
23 extensive landscaping and a few structures; strong pedestrian trail system; transit improvements.
24
25 Mr. Shardlow indicated the following concerns had been expressed by the Planning
26 Commission: concern the name of the development would cause some confusion; a request for a
27 specific drawing that would show the view directly across the parking lot to the discount store, as
28 the Commission wanted to see what the straight-line view would be; concern that the image and
29 character of the development emulate more directly the surrounding, older neighborhoods. He
30 stated he did not personally share that viewpoint.
31
32 Mr. Shardlow stated the next step was to put together the detailed planning report.
33
34 Councilmember Thuesen asked if access was being planned for those with disabilities or special
35 needs. Mr. Shardlow responded all areas for accessibility would be considered.
36
37 Councilmember Thuesen asked if some thought would go into transit issues, as they related to
38 development, so handicapped accessibility would be addressed. Mr. Shardlow responded it
39 would. Councilmember Thuesen added it was very important there were no barriers in a new
40 development such as this project, as all those issues should be carefully considered.
41
42 Councilmember Thuesen asked about the signage for the project. Mr. Shardlow responded a
43 visual preference survey had been done and the most favorable reaction had been to signage that
44 was unique. He added consistent locations along the fagade would be found, along with a
45 consistent standard for size and types of letters that would be internally illuminated.

1 Councilmember Thuesen stated it was not as important to have the same signage as to meet
2 expectations for quality. Mr. Shardlow responded the signage had been thought out in the .
3 context of the project.
4
5 Mayor Hodson asked how the sign criteria were set and what templates were available. Mr.
6 Shardlow responded extensive models were available and the development team would be
7 proposing sign criteria.
8
9 Councilmember Sparks asked if noise control was handled in the PUD. Mr. Shardlow responded
10 it would be handled only if there were issues that arose regarding sources of concern. He added
11 site-planning techniques were used to locate loading and service areas.
12
13 Discussion followed regarding potential sources of noise and suggestions for eliminating them.
14- Mr. Shardlow replied the development team would respond to Council's concerns.
15
16 Councilmember Sparks stated she was concerned about the"sea of parking"that would be in
17 front of the major retailer. She added she was not sure the architectural criteria presented would
18 necessarily maintain the Village character. She noted there were not many windows shown on
19 the plan, even though there was an attempt to break the mass. She indicated she did not feel the
20 design criteria had been pushed on the building.
21
22 Councilmember Sparks stated she had been told the major retailers were not flexible; however,
23 she had found examples of Wal-Mart stores and Target stores that had moved beyond the usual
24 box design. She noted one of the reasons the City had chosen this development team was
25 because of their reputation for originality and aesthetics.
26
27 Mr. Shardlow responded there were limits with what could be done, especially when many cars
28 needed to be accommodated for a major retailer. He added this prototype certainly was not low
29 standard but was custom designed and enhanced, with higher quality building materials and
30 "more of a nod"to the surrounding areas.
31
32 Councilmember Faust asked if Mr. Shardlow recalled discussion with the Planning Commission
33 regarding taking the vast amount of parking, paving half of it and "banking"the rest. Mr.
34 Shardlow responded the term used was "proof of parking,"which meant building less parking
35 now and being able to prove there was ability to build more. He did not know if that would work
36 in this situation.
37
38 Mr. Shardlow noted the development team was present at the meeting and they had been
39 working on this project the past 18 months. He added the "number one" question from residents
40 was if this was really going to happen this time. Mr. Shardlow introduced the members of the
41 team.
42
43 Kathy Anderson, KKE Architects, stated she had been part of the Robert Muir team for many
44 shopping centers. She felt Council could answer some its questions by looking at other premier
45 centers the team had completed. She listed some of those centers and showed images of the
46 prospective plan.
47

August 26, 2003
Page 6
1 Mayor Hodson asked about the structure that had the tower form and if that was the beginning of
2 the boutique shops. Ms. Anderson responded it was, as the first buildings seen were going to-be
3 the premier spaces. She discussed the architectural visibility plans to draw in both cars and .
4 pedestrians.
5
6 Councilmember Horst asked about parking in the front and back and if all the stores would have
7 a front and back door. Ms. Anderson responded some retailers were against having two
8 entrances; however, it had been done successfully. She added diagonal parking was planned in
9 front of the stores.
10
11 Discussion followed regarding ways to make the fagade richer. It was noted the architecture was
12 best viewed from the street because most of the shoppers would be arriving by car.
13
14 Councilmember Sparks indicated many cars would be coming from the south on Silver Lake
15 Road and most would see the major retailer and not the beautiful entrance. She wanted the view
16 for those passing to be consistent.
17
18 Ms:Anderson responded she felt they were dealing with this and discussed the changes in wall
19 space, shadowing, etc. She noted the first thing that would be seen was the landscaping and the
20 buildings were the backdrops.
21
22 Councilmember Horst noted he was concerned about reaching a balance among the costs
23 involved, the building of a high-end product and meeting the needs of the retailer. He added he
24 did like the centers completed by the development team and wanted to make sure the City
25 received the same quality.
26
27 Mr. Shardlow stated the standard to be met would be in force once the City made final decisions
28 regarding the outcome.
29
30 Councilmember Thuesen asked if the City could indicate the quality in standards, during
31 discussions, by using a broad term like `Blaine-type," for example. Mr. Shardlow responded the
32 City would need to be more specific than that.
33
34 . Miles Lindberg was introduced as part of the development team specializing as a site planner of
35 retail and mixed-use development. He noted one of the conflicts with this type of development
36 was the noise generated from a retail area that was close to a residential area. He indicated the
37 development team was aware of the problem, even though solutions had yet to be designed. He
38 promised those problems would be solved if they were an issue.
39
40 Councilmember Thuesen asked if the side of the apartment building exposed to noise from a
41 loading dock, for example, could have enhanced soundproofing. Mr. Shardlow responded the
42 team was working on buffering. He added landscaping could also serve as a sound and visual
43 break.
44
45 Mayor Hodson stated noise issues were already present because of the proximity of the railroad
46 and switchyard. He added St. Anthony was a first-ring suburb and the residents had all become
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes 07
August 26, 2003
Page 7
1 accustomed to a certain level of noise. Mr. Lindberg agreed some noise had to be expected
2 because the setting was urban.
3
4 Councilmember Faust stated he did not want the sound issue to be minimized, as the problem
5 could be very irritating and needed to be addressed. Mr. Lindberg replied the team was not
6 trying to skirt the issue; however, they did not have a solution ready for presentation.
7
8 Len Pratt, Pratt-Ordway, discussed planned areas of buffering, explaining some of the buffering
9 caused challenges to visibility and "sense-of-presence"issues. He added the team was doing
10 what it could to meet the challenges; however, he noted there would always be some "edges."
11
12 Mr. Pratt indicated the team had heard Council's questions and had been taking notes. He felt
13 this was a good time for the development team to be listening to the Planning Commission and
14 the City Council.
15
16 Mr. Pratt introduced Gary Vogel, BKB Group in Minneapolis, and Mark Morehouse, Dominion
17 Group, to address the housing portion of the project.
18
19 Mr. Vogel presented Council with the site plan as it related to the housing component and
20 discussed the following information: layout to develop a sequence creating the urban
21 townhomes was in progress; descriptions of the urban townhomes and flats; the parking and
22 traffic movement; layout for the rental building; green area and access to the retail area;parking
23 provided underneath the buildings, which explained the limited parking on the surface; reasons
24 for pedestrian friendliness; 20% of the homes would be considered affordable housing.
25
26 Mr. Pratt presented proposed elevations of the flats, indicating market conditions would produce
27 the final product.
28
29 Mr. Pratt stated the team had heard"loud and clear"that there was a deep demand in the City for
30 individual walkout living, which would be repeated on the floors above. He added they would
31 learn from the first clients, as this was something new.
32
33 Mr. Vogel explained design work was being done to make the units complimentary to each other
34 and to the retail component. He added time would be needed for the full level of detail to be
35 developed.
36
37 Mr. Vogel displayed a site drawing of the side-by-side townhomes and photographic examples of
38 the side-by-side townhomes.
39
40 Mayor Hodson noted the City had been told, in the past, the affordable component was not
41 workable, yet it was said there would be a 15%to 20% affordable component. Mr. Morehouse
42 responded the affordability of the project would be closer to 15% and the team was committed to
43 meeting Met Council guidelines. He added conversations had taken place with the City's staff
44 and fiscal consultants, who indicated there were other funds available to help provide housing.
45
46 Discussion followed regarding formulas to determine affordable housing.
47
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes Q$
August 26, 2003
Page 8
1 Councilmember Faust asked if a resident living in affordable housing would be distinguished
2 from a resident who was not. Mr. Morehouse replied the only difference would be in the amount
3 of rent paid. He discussed the income ranges that would qualify.
4
5 Mr. Pratt indicated he had just come back from judging smart growth projects and had seen 24
6 projects from across the country. He stated the projects that came to the top were the ones that
7 had a good solid team and a city that wanted to share in the end result. He agreed the project
8 seemed like a huge undertaking and asked if St. Anthony was willing to take the risk. He added
9 he did not have all the answers; however, he had assembled the best possible team with
10 experience and financial strength.
11
12 Mr. Pratt explained the entire project would go up at once, which would make an immediate
13 impact proving it would really happen.
14
15 Mr. Pratt indicated the team was open to suggestions regarding the name of the development. He
16 noted the Village at St. Anthony was chosen to point out this was happening in St. Anthony
17 Village and not in one of the surrounding cities.
18
19 VII. GENERAL POLICY BUSINESS OF THE COUNCIL.
20 A. Review and approve TERM Sheet.
21 Stacie Kvilvang, Ehlers and Associates, Inc., noted progress had been made in the financing
22 while pushing for final review. She indicated the framework would be presented at the next
23 meeting and public hearings would be held regarding the final terms of agreement. She
24 explained work had been done refining the numbers, along with establishment that the developer
25 was using the same numbers. Ms. Kvilvang reviewed the procedures involved.
26
27 Ms. Kvilvang discussed bringing the housing and commercial components together into a more
28 unified package. She added, between grant requests and park dedication fees, there was a gap in
29 the park development financing. She indicated discussion regarding park development was
30 ongoing, as it was realized this was important for the City. She noted phasing would be
31 considered for that part of the development.
32
33 Ms. Kvilvang explained the concept of fiscal disparities, noting communities could choose to
34 pay within the district or outside the district. She discussed the ramifications of each choice and
35 stated she understood the City wished to use fiscal disparities within the district, if at all possible.
36
37 Ms. Kvilvang stated she anticipated the preliminary TERM sheet would be before Council in two
38 weeks.
39
40 Councilmember Faust stated he was concerned the TERM sheet had not been available for the
41 current meeting. He added, even though this project was anticipated, residents were not going to
42 be jeopardized for its completion. He stated a decision had been made not to go outside the
43 district for the fiscal disparities and that issue needed to be resolved.
44
45 Councilmember Faust stressed time was getting short, noting he was speaking personally and not
46 for the rest of the Council. He stated he hoped what was good for Ehlers and what was good for
47 the City would mesh.

2 Councilmember Sparks stated she was worried about the park.
3
4 Mayor Hodson indicated he thought everyone was perfectly clear regarding what was needed to .
5 make this happen. He asked about the value of the project, in its entirety, to the community. Ms.
6 Kvilvang responded the value was potentially$250 million with full development.
7
8 Mayor Hodson asked if fiscal disparities within the district were uncommon for a project of this
9 magnitude. Ms. Kvilvang replied she was not going to respond, as that should be a local
10 decision. She added communities have chosen both options.
11
12 Mayor Hodson asked what type of burden would come to the residents if the City went outside
13 the district. He added the City continually came to this point and then a project would dissolve.
14 He stated he felt the residents were tired of that result and they should have an opportunity to
15 review the costs and give feedback to Council. He noted he would not close the door as sharply
16 as Councilmember Faust. Councilmember Faust responded those figures would be known on the
17 30th.
18
19 Mr. Morrison suggested Ehlers be allowed to come to the next meeting with those figures.
20
21 B. Resolution 03-066 re: Sale of CUB Foods.
22 City Manager Mornson noted this resolution enabled Scott Tankenoff's group to sell its property
23 to the developer.
24
25 Motion by Councilmember Faust to adopt Resolution 03-066 acknowledging SBT, LLC's
26 acquiescence to tax increment assistance financing, planned unit development and platting a
27 portion of the Northwest Quadrant Redevelopment Project.
28
29 Discussion:
30
31 Councilmember Sparks indicated she wanted it to be clear that this did not really involve CUB
32 Foods but SBT, LLC. She asked why this resolution needed to be passed. City Attorney
33 Gilligan responded the City was acknowledging the fact that SBT would not interfere with this
34 development. He added SBT requested this and the City was trying to accommodate.
35
36 Motion carried unanimously.
37
38 C. Resolution 03-070 re: Feasibility study on 39th Avenue NE improvements.
39 Todd Hubmer, WSB and Associates, Inc., noted this resolution ordered the preparation of a
40 feasibility report for the construction of 39th Avenue from Silver Lake Road to Stinson Avenue.
41 He added the project was to be completed as a public improvement, which included construction
42 of new streets, water main, sanitary sewer and storm sewer to serve the proposed Northwest
43 Quadrant Redevelopment Area.
44
45 Mr. Hubmer provided Council a Proposed 39th Avenue Improvement Schedule.

4 Discussion:
5
6 Councilmember Sparks asked if this project would have any impact on the scheduled street
7 improvements. Mr. Hubmer responded it would not, as this was a separate project.
8
9 Motion carried unanimously.
10
11 D. Discuss SAC/WAC increase.
12 Mr. Hubmer noted there was need for discussion regarding the City's current development
13 charges as they related to the sanitary sewer access charge (SAC) and water access charge
14 (WAC). He explained the City currently collected fees from developers to connect to the City's
15 trunk sanitary sewer systems and water systems and the current fees charged by St. Anthony
16 Village were approximately$150 for SAC and $200 for WAC. He indicated these charges were
17 typically collected from development as it occurred to pay for the trunk system improvements
18 necessary to serve new homes and businesses within St Anthony Village. He stated, in addition,
19 the Metropolitan Council collected a SAC charge of$1,275 for each new sanitary sewer
20 connection.
21
22 Mr. Hubmer recommended,based on a review of development anticipated within the next five
23 years in St. Anthony Village,the SAC charge be increased from $150 to $850 and the WAC
24 charge be increased from $200 to $450 for all new development and redevelopment in the City.
25 He noted the increased fees from SAC and WAC were anticipated to cover the costs to upgrade
26 and improve the City's sanitary and water system for the purposes of accommodating future
27 redevelopment. He added the City's water and sewer utility fees would cover maintenance
28 activities and routine replacement of systems.
29
30 Mr. Hubmer indicated the City Attorney would draft the necessary resolution to adjust the rate
31 schedule in accordance with the City's ordinances should Council desire to go forward with the
32 proposed increases in the SAC and WAC charges.
33
34 Councilmember Horst asked if a decision needed Met Council approval. Mr. Hubmer responded
35 the discussed fees were the local portion of these charges, as the Met Council had an additional
36 $1,275 fee.
37
38 Mr. Pratt noted this increase would add approximately$1,000 per unit for sewer and water. He
39 stated the development team would need to consider its impact on the financial aspect and
40 wanted the opportunity to discuss further how it would be incorporated. He added he was not
41 questioning the analysis; however, the team had been told the existing system possibly could
42 handle 500 units and the proposed retail would actually have less square footage. He stated these
43 were the types of events that caused unforeseen consequences.
44
45 Mayor Hodson asked if the need for the additional fees had just surfaced. Mr. Hubmer
46 responded the charges were discussed at the onset of the project and these numbers were

1 suggested as a result of moving through the process. He added the rate change would be applied
2 to development areas throughout the City.
3
4 Ms. Kvilvang stated SAC and WAC had been overestimated and she was not sure there would be
5 a huge fiscal impact.
6
7 City Manager Morrison suggested discussions continue with the development team regarding this
8 issue and it be brought back to Council for review.
9
10 E. Resolution 03-071, re: Award bids for Kenzie Terrace/271h Avenue NE sewer and water
11 improvements.
12 Mr. Hubmer noted a total of two bids were received for this project on August 22, 2003, and
13 were checked for mathematical accuracy and tabulated. He recommended Council consider
14 these bids and award the contract to the low bidder, Thomas and Sons Construction, Inc., in the
15 amount of$480,492.70.
16
17 Councilmember Thuesen asked if there was concern that only two bids were received. Mr.
18 Hubmer responded he did not see a problem with the bidders or the prices received.
19
20 Councilmember Thuesen asked if Council should be uneasy because the bid came in
21 considerably lower than the engineer's estimate. Mr. Hubmer responded they would be involved
22 to make sure things were done"up to standard."
23
24 Mayor Hodson emphasized the City wanted no surprises.
25
26 Motion by Councilmember Thuesen to adopt Resolution 03-071 awarding contract for Kenzie
27 Terrace/27`h Avenue NE sewer and water improvements to Thomas and Sons Construction, Inc.,
28 in the amount of$480,492.70.
29
30 Motion carried unanimously.
31
32 F. Resolution 03-072 re: Accept feasibility study for 2004 street improvements and order
33 plans and specifications.
34 Mr. Hubmer presented Council with the 2004 Street and Utility Improvements Feasibility Report
35 for the reconstruction of the following streets:
36 1. Belden Drive, between 33`d Avenue NE and 32nd Avenue NE
37 2. Hilldale Avenue NE,between Belden Drive and Silver Lake Road
38 3. 32nd Avenue NE,between Belden Drive and Silver Lake Road
39 4. Town View Avenue NE,between Wilson Street and Silver Lake Road
40
41 Mr. Hubmer stated the estimated total cost of the project was $1,860,000 and gave a breakdown
42 of the charges for each improvement. He suggested the City issue a$1.8 million public
43 improvement bond, as the costs would come down. Mr. Hubmer noted a resolution was
44 provided accepting the Feasibility Study and authorizing preparation of final plans and
45 specifications.

30 contractors had histories of meeting schedules.
31

34 foundations ready. He noted the architect was still developing the plan, which should be out
35 within the next week. He added Kraus-Anderson was currently bidding the site and ordering the
36 items that had long lead-times. Mr. Kuenstling indicated Kraus-Anderson would bid out the

34 the draft of the 2004 budget had been approved, which would be about $4 million. She added
35 approximately$77,000 was St. Anthony's portion.
36
37 Councilmember Thuesen inquired regarding Council's wishes for his attendance at the Planning
38 Commission meetings as the City moved forward with the Northwest Quadrant project. He
39 questioned whether the Planning Commission should be allowed more discussion room without
40 his presence or if he should be in attendance to answer potential questions. Councilmember
41 Horst responded the liaison person was there mostly to obtain updates and normally would attend
42 on a quarterly basis. Councilmember Thuesen agreed with Councilmember Horst but stated he

City Council Regular Meeting Minutes 14
August 26, 2003
Page 14
1 petition the Legislature to have a local sales tax for a specific project. He asked if Council
2 thought it appropriate for him to testify before the Department of Revenue asking for local
3 authority to have a sales tax, going in the direction that the residents would be required to give
4 the authority to implement it. He stated the City would not need to have a sales tax; however,
5 approval of his request would keep the City from having to go to the Legislature. He indicated
6 approval probably would not be obtained. Mayor Hodson encouraged Councilmember Faust to
7 proceed if he was willing.
8
9 Councilmember Faust stated he had been approached the previous evening at a Sister City
10 meeting regarding students wishing to correspond and/or plan a summer trip to the sister city

13 information and-advice regarding language, culture, etc.
14
15 Mayor Hodson reported he would be attending a Transportation Advisory Board meeting for the
16 League the following day.
17
18 Mayor Hodson encouraged City staff, consultants to the City and the development team to work
19 together on the discussed issues, as the City had watched many projects get to a certain point and
20 then fade away. He stated the residents of the City were tired of that process.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Sue Hall
FROM: Jerome P. Gilligan
DATE: May 22, 2003
RE: Proposed Fireworks Ordinance & Minnesota Statutes, Section 624.20, as
amended by the 2003 Legislature
Enclosed please find a proposed ordinance that addresses license fees and regulation of
the sale and use of Consumer Fireworks.
A new law that is awaiting the Governor's signature will restrict the authority of cities to
regulate the sale of Consumer Fireworks. Under the new law, a city may not(1) charge an
"...annual license fee of,each retail seller..." in excess of certain amounts, (2) "prohibit or restrict
the display of items for permanent or temporary retail sale...that comply with National Fire
Protection Association Standard 1124 (2003 edition) ("NFPA Standard 1124"), and(3) impose
bond or insurance requirements on a retail seller if such requirements are not "imposed on the
same basis on all other business licensees." The actual language of the amendment to Minnesota
Statutes, Section 624.20, Subdivision 1 appears below in its entirety:
(d) A local unit of government may impose an annual license fee for the retail sale
of items authorized under paragraph (c). The annual license fee of each retail seller that is
in the business of selling only the items authorized under paragraph (c) may not exceed
$350, and the annual license of each other retail seller may not exceed $100. A local unit
of government may not:
(1) impose any fee or charge, other than the fee authorized by this
paragraph, on the retail'sale•of ite'rns authorized under paragraph (c)•
(2)prohibit or restrict the display of items for permanent or temporary
retail sale authorized under paragraph (c) that comply with National Fire
Protection Association Standard 1124 (2003 edition); or
(3) impose on a retail seller any financial guarantee requirements
including bonding or insurance provisions containing restrictions or conditions
not imposed on the same basis on all other business licensees.
[EFFECTIVE DATE.] This section is effective the day following final enactment.
Since the new law is effective the day after enactment and in anticipation that it will be
signed by the Governor, in the proposed ordinance we have addressed these limitations on the
ability of the City to regulate the sale of Consumer Fireworks as follows:
DORSEY & WHITNEY LLP
22
624.20, Subdivision I(d)(1). We have limited the license fees to the amounts provided in
the new law. We have maintained the "per location" license fee language as is the case with
respect to many other license fees in the City. The actual language of the new law could be
interpreted to prohibit the "per location" application of license fees so that a retail seller with
multiple locations may only be charged one license fee, but it does not, on its face, dictate such
application. Therefore, it is within the discretion of the City to decide whether to maintain the
"per location" language. If the City decides to eliminate the "per location" language with respect
to the Consumer Fireworks license fees, companion language in the last sentence of 580.06 of
the proposed ordinance should also be deleted.
624.20, Subdivision 1(d)(2). We have included a provision that states that retail sale
displays must be in accordance with NFPA Standard 1124.
Additionally, we have included fairly restrictive provisions regarding the storage of
Consumer Fireworks which we understand to be consistent with NFPA Standard 1124 because
the new law does not apply to storage. However, we raise as an issue for the City's consideration
that Standard 1124 apparently permits the storage of up to 1,000 pounds of Consumer Fireworks
rather than 100 pounds as provided in the proposed ordinance.
It is possible to interpret the broad language of the new law to spare Consumer Fireworks
from application of the City's existing zoning code provisions which regulate retail sales in the
City and to remove the ability of the City to prohibit sales of Consumer Fireworks at non-
permanent places of business. Since such an interpretation has serious implications and since the
language does not clearly require such a reading, we have drafted the proposed ordinance to
require that sales of Consumer Fireworks be in compliance with the zoning code and to prohibit
sales of Consumer Fireworks at non-permanent places of business. However, because of this
broad language, it is possible that a retail seller could challenge these provisions of the proposed
ordinance. Again, this is an issue for the City to consider.
624.20, Subdivision 1(d)(3). We have removed the insurance provision suggested by the
City that was included in our initial draft due to the apparent absolute prohibition in the new law
unless the City imposes such requirements on all business licensees, which it does not.

Re: 06 029 23 22 0066, Unassigned Address
Dear Mr Morrison:
As indicated in my earlier phone call the above property is landlocked (see attached
map) and would not be buildable if a person bought it at public sale. The Resolution
passed in December 1999 says the property is approved for public auction. As the
cover letter indicated when we notified the City of the availability of the parcel, when a
parcel has characteristics that make it unbuildable the City should classify it for sale to
adjacent owners only.
Therefor if the City will pass and send us an official copy of a resolution that says this
parcel is reclassified and apprnvpd fnrs:!�±� adjaGan+ owners only"
s we will sell it at the
next available adjacent owners auction and return it to the tax roles.
Any questions call me at 348-8648.

Re: Proposed Increases to the City of St. Anthony's SAC/WAC Charges
WSB Project No. 1065-86
Dear Mayor, City Council, and Staff.
This letter is provided to you for discussion on the City's current development charges as it
relates to the sanitary sewer access charge (SAC) and water access charge (WAC). The City
of St. Anthony currently collects fees from Developers to connect to the City's trunk sanitary
sewer systems and water systems. The current fees charged by St. Anthony Village are
approximately$150 for SAC and $100 for WAC. These charges are typically collected from
development as it occurs to pay for the trunk system improvements necessary to serve new
homes and businesses within St. Anthony Village. In addition, the Metropolitan Council
collects a SAC charge of$1,275 for each new sanitary sewer connection.
# The northwest quadrant and southern portions of St. Anthony Village are anticipated to
redevelop, which will require trunk sanitary sewer and water system improvements. The
October 2002 sanitary sewer and water system plan updates completed by WSB for St.
Anthony Village identified approximately $2.2 million in sanitary trunk system improvements
and'$1.1 million in water system improvements that are needed to accommodate the
redevelopment activities proposed in St. Anthony Village. In light of these costs, it is
proposed that the SAC and WAC charges iii St. Anthony Village be adjusted for proposed
redevelopment areas to collect the revenue necessary to complete these system improvements.
Based on a review of development anticipated within the next five(5) years in St. Anthony
Village, it is recommended that the SAC charge be increased from$150 to $850, and the
WAC charge be increased from $200 to $450 for all new development and redevelopment in
R the City.
The increased fees from SAC and WAC are anticipated to cover the costs to upgrade and
Ir415 improve the City's sanitary and water system for the purposes of accommodating future
Me : redevelopment. Maintenance activities and routine replacement of systems will be covered by
the City's water and sewer utility fees.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: September 2, 2003
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Michael Mornson, City Manager
SUBJECT: 2004 CITY TAX LEVY
Enclosed please find Resolution 03-075, prepared by the Finance Director setting the City's 2004
levy. As you know, the levy is impacted this year by changes made at the State level,which
effected revenue that the City received in the LGA program.
The City will receive $267,348 less in State Aid in 2004 than the City was to receive in 2003.
The State is allowing cities to make up 60% of the loss in revenue by authorizing levy increases.
This would provide the City with$160,409 of the $267,348 reduction. There is no other authority
given to cities to adjust for inflation increases, cost of living increases, etc.
The debt levy for roads equipment, Public Works and Fire Station are exempt from levy limits.
The following changes have been or will be implemented to balance the 2004 budget:
1. Budget line item cuts (VillageFest fire works. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $26,500
volunteer dinner, ACTION contribution)
2. Staff reductions (4 vacancies have not been replaced . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $100,000
1 Public Works employee
1 Community Service officer
2 full time liquor clerks
3. Future staff reduction . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . est. $64,000
1 equivalent full time not to be replaced, restructure
1 full time office position to 3/4
4. 0% increase in salaries for 2004 (needs to be negotiated
with the unions.
5. Capital equipment budget reduced from $500,000 annual to $150,000.
This is funded by liquor store profits and revenue from Lauderdale and Falcon
Heights contracts. We're not sure how much revenue will get from liquor
operations in 2004 because of the shut down of one store for 6 months.

Staff is recommending approval of resolution 03-075, which sets the levy for 2004 as well as sets
the Truth in Taxation date at December 8, which may be the last meeting of 2004. If a second
meeting is needed, it would be on Monday, December 15.

1 Discussion:
2
3 Commissioner Sparks stated she did not think it had been made clear that this was a public
4 hearing scheduled for September 23, 2003, regarding the TIF Plan for the Northwest Quadrant
5 and Apache Plaza. She added this was a big step, as it was the first step in the redevelopment of
6 Apache Plaza.
7
8 Commissioner Thuesen noted it might seem Council was being nonchalant regarding this issue.
9 He indicated there had been countless work sessions and meetings over the last two years before
10 this step was reached.
11
12 Commissioner Horst asked if this was the second public hearing. City Attorney Gilligan
13 responded this resolution was requesting the City Council hold a hearing for the proposed plan,
14 as the TIF plan was an H.R.A. plan. He noted State law required Council approve a TIF plan.
15
16 Commissioner Horst noted that the public hearing was an opportunity for those interested in
17 addressing the TIF plan. He also asked if this issue would come before the Planning
18 Commission. Mr. Gilligan replied the Planning Commission was required to give a
19 recommendation to the Council by State law.
20
21 Executive Director Mornson explained there would be two public hearings: The Planning
22 Commission hearing regarding development would be held September 16, 2003. The public
23 hearing before the City Council was scheduled for September 23, 2003. He suggested those who
24 wished to comment on TIF come before the Council and those who wished to comment on the
25 PUD come before the Planning Commission. He added press releases would be issued.
26
27 Commissioner Thuesen explained that"TIF"referred to Tax Increment Financing, which were
28 dollars contributed by the City toward redevelopment. Mr. Gilligan added "TIF"was
29 incremental tax revenue generated by development that would be used to reimburse or pay for
30 public redevelopment costs associated with that redevelopment.

32 Motion carried unanimously.
