CITY 'OF ST. ANTHONY
PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES
June 21 , 1983
The meeting was called to order by Chair Makowske at 7 : 32 P.M.
Present for roll call : Zawislak, Bowerman, Makowske , Bjorklund, Wagner,
and Franzese.
Absent: Jones .
Also present: David Childs , City Manager; Stephen Yurick, Arkell.
Development; and Gary Tushie , Saunders-Thalden
Architects .
Motion by Commissioner Bjorklund and seconded by Commissioner Franzese
to approve as submitted the minutes for the Planning Commission meeting
held May 17, 1983.
Motion carried unanimously.
Commissioner Jones arrived at 7: 36 P.M. , just shortly after the Chair
had opened the publichearing on the request. .from the Arkand Partner-
ship for approval of a Planned Unit Development Concept Plan for the
134 unit condominium development to be constructed on the north side
of Kenzie Terrace between the Lowry Grove Mobile Home Park and. the_
American Legion building. Chair Makowske read thenotice of the hear-
ing, excluding the legal description, which had been mailed to all
adjoining property owners within 350 feet of the project site and had
been published in the Bulletin , June 9th. 'There were six persons
present but none of them reported failure to receive the notice or
objected to its content.
The Commissioners had been provided site plans for the project which
would be developed as Phase 1 of the Kenzie Terrace Redevelopment
Project for which a recommendation of approval was being sought and
the proposal was presented by Mr . Yurick and Mr . Tushie . The latter
explained that the original plans had been modified so a four story
building could be built to accommodate more two bedroom units and to
change the type of building material to be used since his firm would
now be able to build a precast concrete structure at a more reasonable
price than the frame building they had originally. planned. With a
concrete building and the loft bedrooms built into the area where an
attic had previously been proposed , Mr. Tushie indicated the building
would actually be two or three feet shorter than the 43 foot tall
building originally proposed.
When Commissioner Bjorklund inquired about the signage for the build-
ing, Mr. Tushie indicated the only sign would be on the bus stop
building in front of the entrance which would be designed with a "guard
• house" motif.
When the question was raised whether there would be enough parking
to accommodate the type of residents who could be expected to buy the
-2-
condominiums , the architect told the Commissioners his group had done
an indepth study of parking requirements for similar projects both in •
Minneapolis and in the suburbs and had provided parking which the
developers believe would be more than adequate for both owners and
visitors use, based on the experience in complexes like the Towers
and Greenbriar, where a large amount of the parking provided is never
used. The underground stalls would be sold separately .and assigned
so they would be close to the unit they served and Mr. Yurick indicated
that, if the demand is there, additional stalls could be built under
the courtyard at the start of construction. The Arkand representative
said he would have a better idea about the parking needs when he gets
back the survey letters which were sent to the 200 persons who had
indicated an interest in knowing more about the condominiums since
those questions were directed especially to ascertain the prospective
buyers ' parking requirements . Mr. Tushie indicated there would be a
security person on duty 24 hours a day and a system would be set up
to permit guests access to the building. He also told the Commissioners
consideration would be given to providing 'a T.V. monitoring system to
provide better security for the garage area .
In response to questions from Rose Perzell, 2521 - 27th Avenue N.E. ,
the architect said each unit would be provided with a wall air con-
ditioning unit because central air conditioning would be much more
expensive. Buyers would have the option of connecting to the central
system, however, Mr. Yurick said, and the developers would be looking
into a new energy management system which might be feasible for this
building.
Mr. Yurick told Mrs . Perzell the costs of the units would run between •
the low 50 ' s and high 70 ' s with a higher cost for three bedroom units ,
if such are provided. He anticipates the association fees for a one
bedroom unit would run about $100 a month and would be about $130'
for a two bedroom condominium. He told her husband, Roy Perzell , the
units are proposed to be finished off when purchased but changes ,
except those relating to plumbing, could possibly be accommodated.
William Tabaika, 2512 - 27th Avenue N.E. , was shown on the site plans
that there could be no alley traffic from the project which would be
buffered from the residential to the north with grassy areas, and
possibly garden plots for the condominium owners . All garbage would
be hauled from the front of the building, he was told. Mr. Yurick
indicated there would be two elevators in the building , one built
large enough to accommodate a stretcher .
The hearing was closed at 8 : 17 P .M.
Mr. Childs told the Commissioners that if they recommend approval of
the P.U. D. they would be also indicating their agreement with the
setback, total and unit density, height of the building, and parking
for which variances would normally be necessary to construct the
project as proposed. He told Commissioner Franzese there would be no
state mandated increase in Fire or Police Department personnel to
match the increase in population generated by this project. He said
no decision has been made as to whether or not there would be sidewalks ,
-3-
provided
3-
provided to St. Charles , but both the City and County are committed
to providing a traffic signal in front of the building and CDBG
funds have already been allocated for that purpose.
The Manager then indicated he is somewhat optimistic that the property
for this project could be acquired without condemnation. Mr. Yurick
indicated that with a concrete, building, the project could probably
be built in about eight months .
Commissioner Jones told the Arkand. representatives he perceives they
did an excellent job of presenting the project to the neighbors since
the Manager has reported receiving absolutely no complaints from the
residents about the height or any other facet of the proposal .
Motion by Commissioner Bowerman and .seconded by Commissioner Jones
to -recommend Council approval of the Planned Unit Development Concept
Plan for Phase 1 of the Kenzie Terrace Redevelopment Project as
proposed by the Arkand Partnership and detailed in prints of plans
for setbacks, floor and .unit -designs and elevations which were sub-
mitted during the public hearing before the St. Anthony Planning
Commission June 21, 1983.
Voting on the motion:
Aye : Bowerman, Jones , Makowske, Zawislak, Wagner, and Franzese .
. Abstent-ion: Bjorklund (.because of an indirect- association with the-
builder) .
Commissioner Bjorklund inquired about the illegal sign for the sale
of worms and leeches on Stinson Boulevard near 28th Avenue N.E. The
Manager told him that, with the construction by the City in that
area, he is certain the sign has already been removed. He also again
promised to see what he can do about the non-conforming sign further
up on Stinson which advertises Apache Plaza and which is very poorly
maintained. Mr. Childs would also have the Public Works Director
see to 'it that the area behind the Apache Medical Center is kept
mowed.
With his June 16th memorandum, Mr. Childs had included several pub-
lications which he believes might be helpful to the Commissioners
in developing a Six Year Capital Improvement Plan for the City . He
reiterated that he plans to have a State Department of Economics
Planning and Development representative present at the July 19th
meeting to talk on the planning process and to help the Commissioners
get started on the Plan. Referring to the 1980 City of St. Anthony
Comprehensive Plan dealing with capital improvements , Commissioner
Bjorklund indicated he would like to see smaller items , such as squad
cars, eliminated from the new plan and only major capital expenditures
included-. Commissioner Jones suggested the various department heads
start- now to prepare the lists of capital improvements they see a need
• for 'in *the 'next six years and Mr. Childs indicated he plans to have
each of these persons appear before the Commission to personally
present their proposals and plans .
-4-
During a brief discussion of a possible new liquor operations loca- •
tion, Commissioner Jones indicated he believed the City should start
now to. .try to acquire the property on the northwest corner of Silver
Lake Road and 37th Avenue N.E. for a "bottle shop only" since he does
not -believe there would be adequate parking spaces for both an on and
off sale facility in that area. Commissioner Zawislak indicated he
believes the expertise of the liquor manager should be relied on for
making that decision, but the Manager said the usual practice would
be followed of having staff present several alternatives for Council
consideration. The Chair suggested each Commissioner should write
down all their suggestions for the plan for consideration as each
project is discussed.'
She told the Manager she was very pleased to have the listing of
variances and conditional use permits which were brought before the
Commission during 1981 and 1982 included in the agenda packet..
Mr. Childs requested that the Commissioners let him know whether there
were other points of interest about each action which should be
recorded.
Motion by Commissioner Jones and seconded by Commissioner Wagner to
adjourn the meeting at 9 : 05 P.M.
Motion carried unanimously .
Respectfully submitted, •

Attention; City Manager
Dear Mr. Childs,
I am writing this letter as a trustee and a representative of Elmwood
Lutheran Church. Our congregation has grown considerably these past
three years and we are now faced with insufficient room. We desperately
need more Sunday School classrooms, a larger sanctuary and more parking
spaces. •
Attached to this letter is .a plot plan showing our property and the.
proposed addition. An enlarged parking lot is also shown that would
accomodate -148 cars. The church owns two parcels of land, identified
as #402592 and #324778, which provides adequate room for this expansion.
We have an architect working on the detailed plan drawings and hope
to have a more complete package during July. I trust that this plot
plan will be sufficient for reviewal by the planning/zoning commission
and the city council.
Our basic plan calls for the sanctuary to- be extended to the east
about 15 feet to increase the seating area to about 300 people. We
plan to also build a split level building directly behind the sanctuary.
This addition would add about 10 new classrooms, a new kitchen and an
assembly room. The roofline would be an extension of the present build-
ing and would match the design as close as .practical..
I hope that this proposal will find approval with the city so that
we can make progress toward a completion date in October. Thank you
for your consideration.

The proposed cleanup of the property would be an improvement , however, a restaurant of
2787 square feet on two small residential lots represents a fairly intensive use and
the proposed 22 spaces would be grossly inadequate. The applicant has been advised of
the staff recommendation.
RECOWIENDATION: Depending upon final design of the restaurant and its 1 ocat i n on
the property, some expansion of the building could be accommodated, but an increase of
about 360% is not recommended by staff. Doubling the size from 765 square feet to
1500 square feet and seating 45 people would require 48 parking spaces. Staff rec-
ommends that the applicant be asked to redraw his plans for a smaller expansion, i .e. ,
1500 sq. ft. or so, and that the request be tabled for 1 month to allow him to do so.
If applicant does not wish to decrease the size, staff recommends denial .

Dear neighbors,
Let me take you several minutes to react this letter which is •
related to the expansion of Good Luck cafe, which is located at 2700,
Coolidge St . , St. Anthony Village. Due to the rising cost of real est-
ate and operating expenses, it is essential to expand the building
before I can make a profit . Also, I had lost many, customers because
they complained that my cafe is too small, so the expansion is import- .
ant for the survival of by business. Quite recently, I had discussed
with St. Anthony city manager (Ron Aerg) .in regard to this project,
according .to what he gaid, the project can only come to reality upon
the approval of the n&i.ghbors and the city planning commissioner.
Right now, I would like to listen to any honest advice and creative
suggestion--from you, so that my cafe can serve better for St. Anthony
community. On .July 18, there will be a debate on this project in the
city council . If you have any .questions concerninP this project, feel
free to call me at 791 -097?, or stop by at my rRfe.
There are several items whcih T would like to point out :
1 . Conditional use permit--The add-on building (new building) is pro- •
posed to be constructed on the residential area., a special pernit
should be issued to do it .
Vsriance for narkinr, lotappenr.a t :.qt there is not adP-
quate parking sp.qc-e.9 ( 3!.. rarkin7 spaces ) for the customers. C 80

SUMP4ARY DISCUSSION OF SUBJECT: Mayor Sundland, after speaking with tenants of
the St. Anthony Shopping enter, earned that because of the ongoing discussions
about the proposed demolition of that Center, many persons have assumed that the
existing businesses are no longer operating, and their businesses seem to have suf-
fered because of it. The Council discussed the problem and generally concurred that
the Mayor's concept for additional signage on a temporary basis would be a good
idea and would not set a precedent. The Council is seeking Planning Commission
review and comment about the idea.

CITY OF ST. ANTHONY
• COUNCIL MINUTES
June 14, 1983
The meeting was opened at 7 : 30 P .M. , led with the Pledge of Allegiance
by Mayor Sundland.
Present for roll call: Marks, Ranallo, Sundland, Letourneau, and
Enrooth.
Also present: David Childs , City Manager and Carol Johnson, Finance
Director.
State Representative John Rose indicated he was present to report on the
legislative - session which had just ended, specifically to address the
cuts in local aids mandated by the Legislature , and to make a donation
towards the St. Anthony High School Marching Band's tour of Washington,
D. C. and Philadelphia for the Independence Day celebrations .
He gave the Mayor a packet detailing the state aid cuts which include
a reduction of 23% or $60 ,000 in aid for the City in 1984 . Representa-
tive Rose told Mr. Childs he hoped one of the accomplishments of the
session had been to at least stabilize these cuts so municipalities
would be able to have some idea of what type of aid they would be
receiving in the future. The representative agreed with the Mayor and
• Councilman Rana.l-lo- that it -was unfortunate that "because. the City had
been prudent in handling its financial affairs , they were now forced
to come up $60, 000 short of anticipated revenues" . The Mayor speculated
that cities like St. Anthony would have to start charging for services
which is .nothing but another form of taxation. Ile said he was very
troubled that the legislature had not recognized that the first tier
of suburbs experience more of the same problems that the core cities
do than the second or_ third tiers d_o. _The legislator said he recog-
nized that those core cities could not be abandoned- but-th-at a hard - -
look has been taken at what those cities do with the money they are
given. Representative Rose reported that the next legislative sessions
would be short and invited the Council to avail themselves of his aid
in any problems they might experience with the legislation coming out -
of those sessions . Mayor -Sundland told him the Council is very grate-
ful for the aid he and Senator Dieterich gave them during this session
to which the legislator responded that he believes he is very fortunate
to be representing a city like St. Anthony.

Motion carried unanimously.
Reporting on the progress of the cable T.V. service for St. Anthony were
Al Kaeding, who summarized the actions taken by the North Suburban
Cable Communications Commission and Roger Franke, Director of Community
Affairs for Group W, the cable service provider, who had been 'invited
to answer specific Council concerns about the service which had prompted
them to delay the passage of a Cable Ordinance amendment.
Mr. Kaeding reported the Commission is advertising both locally and
nationally for a staff person to represent the ten communities on the
Commission and are preparing the 1984 preliminary budget which must
be submitted in August. He told the Council the City is very fortunate '
that they have already selected a cable company since the state budget
cuts have forced reductions in the State Cable Board staff to the extent
that it has been very difficult to get a franchise approved by the
Board. The City ' s representative on the 14SCCC also reported the Com-
mission is planning a luncheon to be moderated by Tom Curly which is
designed to initiate area-wide interest in cable and has taken the
lead in pushing for an institutional regional interconnection and an
access network of schools .

Mr. Franke indicated he believes the goal of making service available
to all subscribers before May , 1984 , would be met and reported some
St. Anthony residents may have service this December. Councilman Marks
had raised the original concern about the availability of institutional
service, and Mr. Franke assured him this service would be on line at
the same time it is offered to residential subscribers . He said it is
in the interest of his company to get all subscribers on line as fast
as they can because that is the only way Group W can make money and the
Group W official foresees that some day cable companies may be looking
to institutional subscribers for most of their revenues. The Com-
munity Affairs Director told Councilman Marks that if his firm gets
the St. Paul franchise, an uplink for national connection would certainly
be installed. He agreed to set up an appointment for the Councilman
to meet with persons in his firm who are more knowledgeable than he
in the areas about which Councilman Marks has so many questions . He
also indicated Jim Daniels , Group W Assistant Manager, would be the
contact person to reach through Mr. Kaeding.
Service would be provided through "two head ends and two hubs" , Mr.
Franke said, and one is already established in the building Group W
has taken over which was formerly the Lake Owasso School. In reply
to questions regarding the cable service to schools, Mr. Franke reported
Group W intends to make a $50 , 000 grant to foster educational access
and would also provide staff persons to aid the schools in setting up
their programs . Public use of the service, including televising of
Council meetings , was also discussed at length.
Motion by Councilman Marks and seconded by Councilman Letourneau to
approve the final reading and adopt the ordinance which provides for
amending the Cable Communications Ordinance by mutual written agree-
ment.

ORDINANCE 1983-003
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE 1982-009
KNOWN AS THE CABLE COMMUNICATIONS ORDINANCE
Motion carried unanimously..
Judy Makowske was present and joined Councilman Enrooth in a discussion
of garbage being left out on the streets for long periods of time . The
Planning Commission Chair ' s complaint was related to a dumpster which
had been left at an apartment house for three months .after service was
discontinued. Mr. Childs indicated that the City would follow up any
complaint called in and would address the problem in an article in the
next Newsletter . Telephone calls related to a noisy party the previous
weekend prompted a discussion of the existing ordinances dealing with
disturbances .and just what actions the Police Department is constitution-
ally permitted. The Manager indicated he would discuss the matter
further with the Chief of Police and City Attorney and report back at
a later meeting.
• Councilman Ranallo urged the' Council members to attend the annual
conference of . the League of Minnesota Ctiies which had begun on the
same day.

Before ordering the May Fire Department Report filed, Councilman
Ranallo noted that the department had spent almost 10 , hours responding •
to medical emergencies as compared to only a little over an hour on
fires . Mayor Sundland suggested that some of the disparity could be
accounted for by the .fact that the community is aging and there have
been excellent fire safety educational programs fostered by the Fire
Department.
Also accepted as informational were the April Financial Summary, the
May Liquor Operations Summary and the minutes of the Chemical Abuse
Information Committee meeting May 10th.
An in depth .report from Public Works Director Hamer on the collapse
and repair of the sanitary sewer in front of the high school had been
included the the agenda packet. The Council consensus was that the
decision to only black top the road because of the possibility of
settling, had been a prudent one . Mrs . Makowske reported she had
picked up several warning signs on the construction site which had
blown over with the high winds experienced that day.
The June 7th staff meeting notes were noted and ordered filed.
Motion by Councilman Marks and seconded by Councilman Enrooth to accept
the City Manager' s recommendation that staff should request the Hennepin
County ' Commissioners to reconsider in this time of- tight budgets , their
requirement that the City buy new radio equipment from the County to
replace the radios presently used by the Police Department , since , even
though all radios in the system might not be brand new, or the same
color, by permitting the City to buy the equipment they have now, the
St. Anthony system would continue to be functional and could be updated,
as needed by the City, over a period of years .
Motion carried unanimously .
Mr. Childs reminded the Council members that a public hearing to
consider the Metropolitan Pollution Control Agency ' s study of the City
water system is scheduled to be held during the Council ' s June 28th
meeting.
At 8 : 35 P .M. , the Mayor opened the public hearing on the City ' s proposal
to amend its Year VII Urban Hennepin County Community Development Block
Grant planning allocation to reflect a $3, 541 modification in that
allocation suggested by the auditors by which the City could be re-
imbursed for previously paid expenditures .
There was no one present to object to the amendment, or to provide
input into the discussion, and the hearing was closed at 8 : 37 P .M.
Motion by ' Councilman Ranallo and seconded by Councilman Enrooth to
approve the $3, 541 modification of the CDBG planning allocation for
Year VII , as presented.

Chairman Sundland called the meeting to order at 9 :00 P.M.
Present for roll call: Sundland; Vice Chairman Letourneau, Secretary/
Treasurer. Marks; .and Commissioners Ranallo and
Enrooth..
Also present : David Childs, Executive Director; and Dick Krier of
Westwood Planning & Engineering, Inc . , Planning Con-
sultant.
Motion by Commissioner Ranallo and seconded by Vice Chairman Letourneau
to approve -as submitted the minutes of the H.R.A. meeting held May
24, 1983.
Motion carried unanimously .
The real -estate appraisals from O. J-. Janski &. Associates for both
parcels of land which the HR.A-. would have to acquire on the north- side
of Kenzie Terrace to- develop Phase 1 of the Kenzie- Terrace Development -
Project; the immovable fixtures appraisal from C. R. Pelton & Associates
for the auto body garage on one of the- parcels; and the review
appraisals of both by Donald Hennessey had been submitted in separate
memorandums. for H.R.A. consideration by Mr. Krier along with his
recommendations for establishing just compensation based on the
appraisals -for those parcels so the Executive .Director , Attorney and
the Consultant .could make. offers to the .owners .to buy the properties .
Mr. Krier indicated ..the appraisers who had' been selected are so well
known and-accepted in legal •circles that he anticipates there would-
be no problems having the compensation figures accepted by the court,
if- condemnation-is required.
The Planning Consultant reported his. firm is doing. the inventories of-
the garage building- and relocation. costs- have not been negotiated with
the owner yet but- all these figures would be made.. available to the
H.R.A. in the near future. Because the condemnation process is a
lengthy one, Mr. Krier indicated it would be necessary to initiate the
proceedings now-, so in case negotiations should be bogged down , the
property would be available. for an October- 15th construction start.
The consensus- was that Mr . Krier should proceed as he had proposed and
should develop a . resolution authorizing the condemnation for considera-
tion at the next- H.R.A. meeting..
Motion by Secretary/Treasurer Marks and seconded 'by Commissioner Ranallo
to adopt the resolution which establishes a just compensation of
$122 , 500 for the vacant parcel of land at approximately 2601 Kenzie

COUNCIL MINUTES
June 28, 1983
The meeting was opened at 7: 30 P.M. with the Pledge of Allegiance led by .
Mayor Sundland.
Present for roll call: Marks , Ranallo, Sundland, Letourneau, and Enrooth.
Also present: David Childs, City Manager.
At 7: 31 P.M. the Mayor opened the public hearing to receive a report on.
temporary water- supply alternatives .for the City 's water system which
had been scheduled to precede another public meeting to be conducted in
another room in the Parkview building by the Minnesota Pollution Control
Agency.
Participating in the presentation of the report were Steve Lee and Sue
Brustman of the MPCA; Karen Valdgogel, the U.S . Environmental Protection
Agency representative from Chicago; and Robert D. Schilling and Tom Card
of CH2M Hill Consultants , Bellevue, Washington,. whose engineering firm
had been retained to prepare a temporary drinking water feasibility
study conducted under the federal EPA'.s "Superfund" and to recommend
alternatives for temporarily providing safe drinking. water for the City
of St. Anthony in the event the contamination now present in trace
amounts in the City wells should increase .to levels beyond government
human health guidelines . About a dozen other persons were present for
the report.
Mr. Lee indicated that, although there is convincing evidence that the
volatile organic hydrocarbons now present in the City 's water supply had
originated from the Twin City Arsenal in Fridley, there is no definite
proof that the arsenal is ,the only source of contamination and in order
to determine dust which par-ty -and/or_ parties should be held accountable
for cleaning up the contamination and providing clean drinking water
for the affected communities, it would be necessary for a two year study
of the area' s water production system to be undertaken.
The MPCA representative assured those present that the State Health
Department' s testing had given no indication that contaminants had
reached levels in the St. Anthony wells which would justify the shutting
down of any wells , but Mr. Lee said he .agreed with the City Council that
plans should be made for contingencies in case the water condition should
deteriorate rapidly. However, he cautioned that federal funding would
be used only to -provide a temporary remedy for the problem, since when
the responsible party and/or parties are identified, they would be
directed to provide permanent solutions towards the provision of clean
drinking- water. .
Copies of the CH2M Hill. study and recommendations were handed out to the
Council members and Mr.- Schilling indicated copies would be made available
• to the public at the City offices and the St. Anthony library. The
City wells would have -to be tested' at least over two summer pumping
seasons to identify the .sources of contamination so public funds spent
on the study and remedy can be .recovered. from the responsible parties , _
according -to the engineering firm representative.
-2-
Ms. Brustman distributed two MPCA informational sheets to all present in
which the historical background of the discovery of the ground water
problems -affecting the water supplies in � Arden Hills, .New Brighton, and
St. Anthony was given along with recommendations from CH2M Hill for
temporary City action should the levels of contamination increase to an
undesirable level. The study recommended the City should continue to
closely monitor the quality of the water;.. plan for implementation of
permanent means of obtaining clean water; adoption of a water conserva-
tion program in case a well has . to be closed; and in the event two
wells should have to be taken off line, and conservation doesn ' t provide
adequate drinking water, immediately :implement one of the temporary
measures suggested by the engineers :. - These options and- their costs were
discussed by Mr. Schilling who reiterated it would be much less expensive
for the City to tie-in to the Roseville water system than with that of
Columbia Heights or to install either an air stripping or carbon filtra-
tion system, or combination of both, on the existing wells. Drawbacks
of the latter two options were explored at length with the engineer who
said his firm' s experience with the air stripping filter system in
Tacoma had been that the discharge of pollutants from the stacks had
been pretty well diluted and widely dispersed but the cost of the system
itself is prohibitive for this purpose . and the cost and difficulty of
disposing of the carbon made the operation and maintenance costs of
the carbon filtration system very expensive.
Frank Budnicki, 3124 Wilson N.E. , asked whether it had been determined
which direction the underground water flowed in this area and was told
• that generally, water could be expected to flow from northeast to
southwest, but pumping could divert some of the flow. Mr. Lee assured
him that after the two year study in which wells would be sunk at
various points there should be a more definitive answer to his question
upon which the City could base a permanent solution.
Mayor Sundland indicated he perceived that the Council was working on
the assumption that contaminant levels in the City wells would increase
and, since both Roseville and- St. Paul , who provides the water for
Roseville, had indicated to Mr. Schilling they would be amenable to
continuing a discussion with St. Anthony about the possibility of the
City connecting with their water system on a temporary basis , believes
there is a general consensus on the Council that a discussion should be
initiated with the officials of both cities to determine the possibility
of St. 'Anthony making both a temporary and permanent connection to their
water system in the event the City ' s drinking water becomes unsafe to
drink.
The hearing was closed at 8 : 19 P.M.
Rosemary 'Franzese was present to report to the Council the actions taken
by the Planning Commission during their June 21st meeting as reflected
in the minutes for that meeting.
At 8: 20 P.M. the Mayor opened a public hearing on the request from Arkand
• -Partnership for approval. of a Planned "Unit _D_ evelopment Concept Plan for
Phase ' l of the Kenzie Terrace Redevelopment Project which the Commission
had recommended the Council approve as - presented. _
-3-
Commissioner Franzese reported the Commission approval had been given
with some reservations . about the adequacy of the parking the developers
plan to provide for the project and indicated some minor changes in the
minutes as they had been recorded. Steve. Yurick of Arkell Development
was present and he- agreed :with- Commissioner Franzese that the building
which is now proposed would be 43 feet tall which would.- be two or three
feet shorter than had •be' en. .originally proposed. The Commissioner also
provided some clarification of how the parking stalls . would* -be assigned,
saying she understood the "walking -distance from each parking stll would
be equalized according '.to- the location of the unit it matched" .
Planning Commission .Chair Makowske reported she had discussed the parking
provisions with Commissioner- Jones since the June 21st meeting and shared
his concerns that the parking provided for the over 55 age group who
could be anticipated to' buy the condominiums at this time might not be
-adequate to serve a change in resident population ten or 15 years down
the line when there might'-be an appreciable increase in the number of
Vehicles owned which would force parking on the adjoining streets . She
said Commissioner Jones still believes the parking study being done by
the Arkand group should include the parking provisions for the LaBelle
condominiums being constructed on Central Avenue since he perceives the
parking for the elderly housing on Stinson Boulevard is inadequate to
the point that residents have to park on that busy street.
Mr. Yurick indicated the LaBelle project had been one .of the developments
included in the study and -assured the Council that his firm would want
• to provide all the parking the prospective buyers would need since the
units would only be marketable if sufficient parking is available . He
agreed a possible change� in resident population should probably be
taken into. account. Although the figures could not be considered,
decisive, Mr. . Yurick- said out of 25 to 30 surveys returned from the more
than 200 sent to--prospective buyers of the condominiums , 4 have indicated
they would need no parking stalls and no one asked for two. . When the
remainder of the surveys are returned, he believes he -would have 'a more
realistic picture of the parking needs . Mayor Sundland noted the - dif-
ferences in the LaBelle and Kenzie Project locations and discussed
possible outdoor parking near the Legion Club, etc. He also said the
City could restrict parking on 27th Avenue or Wilson as well. Councilman
Marks commented that the City had historically required more parking
than needed as evidenced in the Industrial Park.
Councilman Ranallo said when his company had included in its building
plans the possibility of adding another floor in the future, the City of
Golden Valley had required them to provide parking to serve that potential
space. He said he would rather see a whole floor of unused parking
stalls in the Kenzie project than- to -force future condominium residents
to park on the adj oining' streets .
No other input from =the public- was provided and the -hearing was .closed
at 8 : 31 P.M..
• Motion by 'Councilman -Marks,*.:and seconded by Councilman. Enrooth to follow
the recommendations of the :'Planning- Commission to :approve the, Planned Unit :
Development Concept Plan .for Phase .1--of the Kenzie Terrace Redevelopment
Project as proposed by. tho Arkand. Partnership and detailed 'in the prints
-4-
of the plans for setbacks , floor and unit designs , and elevation which
were submitted at the public hearings before the Planning Commission
June 21, 1983 and the Council, June 28 , 1983.
Motion carried unanimously.
Frank Koes, 2817 Stinson Boulevard, ..was present to discuss the sign for
sale of -worms and leeches in front of his home to which a reference
had been made in the Commission minutes . He said the person who had
come ' to his home :to tell his family to remove the sign had not identi-
fied himself and Mr. Koes wondered why -this notification was not made
by letter instead. Mr. Childsindicated it has been staff ' s experience
that most people get more upset with a letter notification than with
having someone just drop by to discuss violation of the City ordinance
with them. Mr. Koes was told he could not put a sign on the City right-
of-way and his sign would have to conform to the new Sign Ordinance
requirements.
The Commission report was concluded with a short discussion of the
Commission' s plans for developing the Capital Improvement Plan and a
recognition of the -new variance and conditional use recording system
initiated by the staff which both Commission representatives said they
. found very helpful.
The Mayor said he had written to the Clark Oil Company regarding the
unkept appearance of their property on the. corner of 33rd Avenue N.E.
and Stinson Boulevard.
Senator Dieterich was present for the .MPCA presentation and remained to
discuss the various pieces of legislation passed in the last session of
the Legislature and to offer his assistance with any bills which would
come up in the mini sessions .
He said he had voted for the "Superfund" and would be willing to do
anything he could to improve the water situation in St. Anthony and
New Brighton. The legislator indicated he had found the Council ' s
input towards the Metro Council member appointment most helpful and
would be glad to hear any suggestions they might have about the upcoming
Metro Waste Commission and Metro Health Board appointments . He noted
- that the Chairman of the Metro Council had become "very responsive" to
suggestions from municipalities related. to those appointments .
The Senator then indicated he would be happy to exert any influence
he might have with Attorney General. Humphrey regarding a request for a
class action suit submitted by New Brighton against the parties they
perceive to be responsible for the contamination of - their water supplies .
Mayor Sundland recalled that St. Anthony had declined to joint with
New Brighton in a lawsuit last year because no contamination of the City
wells was present at that time . He indicated he now believes the City
might not be ill advised to joint in that litigation and requested staff
be directed to .discuss the possibility with New Brighton. Senator
• Dieterich- requested he be sent a copy of that correspondence so he can
contact the Attorney General.
The Mayor commented that he believes -the City has excellent representa- -
tion from Senator Dieterich and Representative Rose at the State Legisla-
ture and urged the Senator to drop in for a visit any time .

Motion by Councilman Marks and seconded by Councilman Letourneau to
direct the petitioned street light be installed on the existing pole
between 2612-2616-31st Avenue N.E. , as recommended by the Public Works
Director in his June 27th memorandum, finding that this installation
conforms to both the City and NSP programs for lighting for St. Anthony.
Motion carried unanimously.
Councilman Enrooth reported the difficulties he and other Skycroft and
Edgemere residents are experiencing when the black top fill recently
installed on- their streets softens whenever the temperature reaches 80
degrees . The factory representative of the company who furnished the
-6-
fill would be coming out soon to discuss the problem, the Manager said.
Since so many of this type of complaints are directed to the Council
members personally, Councilman Ranallo suggested it might be advisable
for staff to alert them whenever one of these blacktop repair projects
are undertaken so the Councilmen would at least know what the callers
are talking about.
Councilman Letourneau requested that whoever is responsible for keeping
up the North. Gate property on Highway 88 be contacted regarding the
maintenance of the site . since in its present condition it gives a very
poor first impression of the City.
There was a good response from participants , most of whom were from
outstate , to the annual conference for the League of Minnesota Cities
held in Bloomington,' according to Councilman Ranallo who helped to plan
the meeting. Ile anticipates future conferences would be scheduled out
of the. metropolitan area where prices are not so high and there is more
interest.
The Chemical Abuse Information Committee minutes for June 8th were
accepted as informational as was the May Police Department Report after
a brief discussion. Councilman Enrooth indicated he appreciated the
new format for the Police report, which he perceives to be much more
expansive. It was speculated that the new Crime Watch program might
be responsible for increased participation by residents .
The general consensus was that the use of proceeds -from the police
auction primarily for equipment for the physical fitness program was a
good decision. The Manager indicated the intital testing is completed
and he was very pleased to find that no City employees had any heart
problems which would have prevented their participating in the exercise
program. A portion of the funds would be allocated towards the purchase
of an airdyne bicycle, Mr. Childs said.
Motion by Councilman Ranallo and seconded by Councilman Enrooth. to
approve the allocation of proceeds from the police auction of unclaimed
property for the uses proposed in the Police Chief 's June 21st memorandum.
Motion carried unanimously .
Larry Hamer' s June 20thmemorandum reporting the necessity of replacing
a bearing in Well #4 was accepted as informational when the Manager
indicated the billing would be submitted later.
Mr. Childs indicated Fire Chief Lee Entner had secured the high school
pool and gym for one evening a week for participants in the fitness
program.
Motion by Councilman Marks and seconded by Councilman Ranallo . to approve
the second reading of Ordinance 1983-004 .
