19 Council Meeting. Commissioner Franzese advised she may not be
20 available at this time. Commissioner Gondorchin stated he may
21 be able to attend. Commissioner Madden also stated he would be
22 available.
23
24 Urbia advised there may be no need for a representative from

36
37 A. South End Redevelopment Review
38
39 A letter had been sent to property owners within 300 feet of
40 the redevelopment area informing them of this review. These
41 are the same property owners who received a mailing regarding
42 the "Walgreen' s" proposed project .
43
44 Using an overhead, the City Manager reviewed the engineering
45 consultant ' s concept drawings for the proposed road
46 realignment in the redevelopment area. It was stated that this
47 review is for information so that St . Anthony residents will
48 be aware of the proposed changes and have an opportunity for
49 answers to any questions or concerns .
50
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
JANUARY 19, 1993

6 A graph reflected the existing roadway as well as the proposed
7 realignment . The City Manager advised the the removal of
8 Rosie ' s Restaurant and the Good Luck Cafe should be completed
9 within forty-five days . The Rosie ' s Restaurant property will
10 be converted into two residential lots . The trees which will
11 be taken with this acquisition will be replaced .
12
13 It is felt with the development of the two residential lots
14 and the placement of berms , the impact on the surrounding
15 neighborhood ' s residential profile will be minimal .
16
17 The realignment will cause some lots to either gain or to lose
18 some property area . Those who lose property will be
19 compensated. Bona ' s service station and Mr . Levandowski will
20 gain property.
21
22 Access to the service station off 27th Avenue will be
23 eliminated and access to the meat market building will be
24 limited to Kenzie Terrace . Commissioner Madden was of the
25 opinion that to bring stock into the meat market building via
26 the front door would be very unusual .
0 In response to an inquiry from Commissioner Franzese, the City
29 Manager stated there will be no need for additional
30 signalization .
31
32 A resident voiced his concern regarding the disposition of
33 water with this redevelopment . He lives near the proposed
34 realignment and has experienced water in his basement .
35
36 The City Manager advised there will be no additional water
37 introduced into the storm sewer system. There will be no
38 additional paved surfaces and there will be some green spaces
39 included in the area .
40
41 This project will not be assessable to the benefitting
42 property owners . All of the funding will come from the Tax
43 Increment District .
44
45 The owner of the service station, Roger Bona, stated his
46 opposition to any restrictions on access to his business and
47 to his building. The City Manager advised him he will be
48 gaining property.

5 The City Manager explained that the berm height will be
6 approximately three feet which will remove the initial shock
7 of headlights . Trees will also be planted on top of the berm
8 with an expected maturity height of several years .
9
10 A late April construction start is expected for the project
11 with a completion sometime in September . Preliminary platting
12 of the two newly-created residential lots will be presented at
13 the neighborhood meetings . The lots will be sold by sealed
14 bid. The City Manager felt there was a potential for building
15 homes valued about $110 , 000 and there will be a one year
16 construction period stipulated in the purchase agreements .
17
18 Commissioner Madden expressed concern with the access to the
19 meat market building. The City Manager stated that this
20 building is also owned by Roger Bona . Mr . Bona has submitted
21 three different plans for changing the buildings on his
22 property. The City Manager felt there may be some questions
23 regarding access if the property were sold. "Access taking"
24 would be a tool the City could use if this happened.
25
26 Commissioner Franzese inquired as to the potential for legal
27 action against the City if access were taken . The City Manager •
28 responded that everyone has the ability to make a claim
29 against the City. The Commissioner noted she was surprised
30 that the engineering consultant did not conduct a water study
31 in conjunction with this project .
32
33 The City Manager will contact the engineering firm regarding
34 the potential water problems mentioned by the Commissioner and
35 the resident .
36
37 Cub Update
38
39 The City Manager advised the Commissioners that the Cub
40 project is on track. He noted that the Council has never
41 viewed the Super Valu project for 18th and Central Avenues as
42 competition but rather focused exclusively on the Apache Plaza
43 project . Super Valu has abandoned the site at 18th and Central
44 Avenues for a project . He expects the Apache Plaza store plans
45 to be finalized at the first Council meeting in February.
46
47 The drainage plan for the project will be submitted to the
48 Rice Creek Watershed District in the second week of February.
49 Barr Engineering has been hired to review standards so they
50 meet the MURP requirements .
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
JANUARY 19, 1993

6 Staff has been approached by a group of dentists who wish to
7 construct an 8 , 300 square foot office building at 39th Avenue
8 and Silver Lake Road . This building will house six dentist ' s
9 offices . The dentists will do the bonding and pay for all
10 improvements required . They will use the "pay as you go"
11 method on the bonds . The City Manager explained this strategy.
12
13 The dentists have requested a land write down in the amount of
14 $125, 000 . It is anticipated this project , if approved, will
15 commence in March and no variances will be needed at this
16 point in time. The Tax Increment District is still being
17 viewed for a ten year payback even with the inclusion of this
18 building.
19
20 Commissioner Franzese inquired what the future of New Market
21 may be. The City Manager has been advised that there is a
22 proposal for use of the entire building but was not at liberty
23 to give further information .
24
25 Commissioner Gondorchin wanted to know if the impact of
26 increased traffic on Silver Lake Road from patrons of the Cub
Store had been considered during the reconstruction
discussions . The City Manager noted that it had been a
29 consideration but that no significant impact is expected as
30 peak traffic times are not when people traditionally go to the
31 grocery store. This traffic pattern is more constant .
32
33 The City Manager advised that zero lot line and setback
34 variance requests will have to come before the Planning
35 Commission . This will be a future agenda item.
36
37 B. Accessory Structure Permit
"3 8
39 This information is being presented by the City Attorney to
40 the Planning Commission as a method that could allow
41 flexibility for the City in finding a hardship to allow a
42 variance. Previously, the ordinance made this very difficult .
43
44 Staff is requesting input on the wording of this information
45 for inclusion in the new code. Also, amending the code just
46 for the building season could be a consideration .
47
48 Commissioner Madden inquired as to what the present
49 requirements are for putting up a shed .
50
•
1 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
2 JANUARY 19, 1993
3 PAGE 6
4
5
6 Urbia responded a permit must be applied for and the shed must
7 comply with the Uniform Building Code. Commissioner Madden
8 inquired what the requirements are for sheds already built .
9 Urbia noted that a cement pad is necessary and a permit
10 probably would be required for prefab shed.
11
12 Discussion continued regarding meeting certain standards ,
13 future requests for double garages and possible locations for
14 garages . It was noted that presently only garages which are to
15 be located beside or behind the house are addressed and only
16 side or rearyard setbacks would be needed.
17
18 Urbia noted that the Council prefers only side or rear
19 setbacks .
20
21 Commissioner Madden inquired what impacts storage sheds may
22 have on neighbors . Urbia will pursue this information . He also
23 suggested that perhaps sheds should not be included in this
24 section of the code since the initial interest was only for
25 garages .
26 •27 Commissioner Murphy felt that the dimensions are confusing as
28 worded and suggested there may be no need to include
29 dimensions as they could be viewed as arbitrary.
30
31 Commissioner Werenicz felt a "permit" hearing would be
32 necessary rather than a "variance" hearing and meeting the
33 three conditions for a hardship would no longer be needed.
34
35 Chair Faust and Commissioner Franzese felt the dimensions
36 should remain in the code. Chair Faust suggested the
37 dimensions would allow the Planning Commission more
38 flexibility -and would comply better with the law.
39
40 Urbia stated that this section of the code may require
41 rewriting in a few years as dimensions may be subject to
42 change.
43
44 Members of the Commission felt that the phrase "or other
45 drawing" should be deleted from Subsection 2 and that only a
46 survey be required. It was also a consensus of Commission
47 members to delete (b) and any reference to storage buildings
48 and sheds . Urbia will change the title of this section to more
49 accurately reflect what is being addressed.

13 C. Sian Ordinance - Amortization
14
15 Staff had been requested to research the concept of the useful
16 life of a sign . Three larger sign companies were contacted to
17 determine if there is an industry standard or other
18 guidelines .
19
20 Representatives of all three companies gave similar answers
21 regarding the useful life of a sign. They noted that materials
22 used impact on the life of a sign . If a metal cabinet is used
23 the 1-ife can be anywhere from ten to twenty years . The surface
24 cover will usually wear out before the cabinet or become
25 outdated.
26
Chair Faust felt ten years was a reasonable time to allow a
non-conforming sign . Commissioner Werenicz agreed with a ten
29 year allowance of time and felt twenty years was too long.
30
31 Commissioner Madden inquired how many non-conforming signs
32 were located in St . Anthony. Urbia did not have the exact
33 number but noted there were a few.
34
35 Motion by Faust , second by Werenicz to recommend that the City
36 Council adopt a ten year amortization deadline for legal , non-
37 conforming signs from the effective date of the amendment to
38 the sign ordinance.

41 Motion carried unanimously

8 Urbia provided a copy of the recently adopted Edina Parking
9 Ordinance.
10
11 Commissionr Gondorchin had presented a checklist of issues to
12 consider in the old parking ordinance. The ordinance has been
13 recodified and staff is requesting input from members of the
14 Commission regarding definitions , provisions and any issues
15 which may need clarifying.
16
17 Discussion continued regarding the establishment of a Parking
18 Subcommittee. Having this on the agenda of a Planning
19 Commission work session was the desire of some of the
20 Commission members . It was agreed that the work session was to
21 be a public meeting but would not allow public input . It was
22 also agreed that notification of this meeting should be made
23 in a similar fashion as all other public meetings .
24
25 Commissioner Gondorchin had hoped this issue could have been
26 dealt with earlier so it could have been in effect before the
27 next storage season. •
28
29 Motion by Madden, second by Murphy that the Planning
30 Commission schedule a work session to discuss the parking
31 ordinance and that the work session be published in the same
32 manner as the City Counicl work sessions are published.
33
34 Commissioner Franzese inquired as to the objections to using
35 the ordinance adopted by the City of Edina. She noted that
36 City had studied the issue for many months . Commissioner
37 Werenicz felt it could be a helpful tool . Commissioner
38 Gondorchin stated that the Edina ordinance did not include any
39 definitions as regards -weight , load limits , etc .
40
41 The date and time for the Planning Commission work session was
42 set at 5: 30 p.m. on February 17 , 1993 . Box lunches were

24
25 The letter reviewed the activities , accomplishments and
26 issues addressed by the Planning Commission in 1992 . The •

28 and members of the Planning Commission as well as the
29 cooperation of the City Council .
30
31 E. Staff Report - Sign Ordinance Issue
32
33 Previously, Commissioner Madden had suggested that Subs .
34 2 ( 1 ) be amended to require each identification sign
35 allowed per right-of-way frontage to face the frontage .
36
37 Urbia noted that the staff recommendation is to allow
38 more flexibility in these types of situations . Staff also
39 felt a more restrictive ordinance could be viewed as
40 harassing business owners in - the City. Urbia stated that
41 members of the Planning Commission can discuss this
42 matter directly with members of the City Council . It
43 would not be a problem to change the newly recodified
44 ordinance.
45
46 Commissioner Madden inquired what was the rationale to
47 allow two signs on a business which fronts on two
48 streets . Urbia responded this would afford the business
49 more visibility.

7 retreat , address non-conforming signs as well as sign
8 ordinance enforcement .
9
10 Commissioner Madden inquired as to the response from the
11 City Council regarding the illegal signs at Stop ' N'
12 Shop. Commissioner Murphy, who attended the Council
13 Meeting where these signs were discussed, advised they
14 did not discuss this illegality. He noted that the
15 Council unanimously approved the "B5" type of sign for
16 this business .
17
18 Commissioner Madden observed that even though there is a
19 newly approved sign ordinance the City Council has
20 already approved illegal signs in a Comprehensive Sign
21 Plan . He suggested the Planning Commission should no
22 longer discuss signs .
23
24 The Chair also felt the sign ordinance should be enforced
25 and that some enforcement plan should be considered . It
6 should be enforced fairly and firmly was the opinion of
Chair Faust and not have enforcement left to the staff .
He also stated that the Planning Commission should
29 articulate its concerns with enforcement and observed
30 that the Planning Commission has spent considerable time
31 and effort on sign regulations and now there are already
32 violations of the new ordinance. He recognizes that the
33 problems did not happen overnight and will not be solved
34 overnight .
35
36 Commissioner Franzese requested that Urbia obtain the
37 City' s policy regarding sign code enforcement and
38 implementation. Commissioner Werenicz had requested this
39 information several months ago and he felt enforcement
40 was a process of notifications . He stated that . an
41 ordinance is a law and it is being broken in the City and
42 should be enforced.
43
44 Commissioner Franzese noted that the subcommittee on the
45 sign ordinance had spent considerable time on developing
46 a workable sign ordinance and had reviewed ease of
47 enforcement . Commissioner Murphy felt that presently
48 there is uneven enforcement or no enforcement .

7 cited an instance of non-conforming signs in his
8 neighborhood which he had reported to staff on numerous
9 occasions. He felt his concerns had been ignored.
10
11 Motion by Franzese, second by Madden to inform the City
12 Council there is a perception that there is a lack of
13 enforcement of the sign ordinance which is a frustration
14 to the members of the Planning Commission, and that the
15 Planning Commission requests that the City Council
16 provide guidance to the City staff on the enforcement of
17 the new sign ordinance in view of the preceived lack of
18 enforcement of the previous ordinance.

20
21 Motion carried unanimously
22
23
24 Referring to the issue addressed in Subd. 2 ( 1 ) ,
25 Commissioner Madden feels this subsection should be
26 stated so it is understood the intent was for one sign to
27 face one street and not two signs facing the same street . 0
28 He felt identification signs. were intended to face two
29 different streets and not as staff had recommended.
30
31 Motion by Madden, second by Franzese to recommend to the
32 City Council the sign ordinance be amended to require
33 each idenfication sign face one right-of-way frontage ;

• STAFF REPORT
DATE: January 29, 1993
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: David Mark Urbia, Management Assistant
ITEM: PUBLIC HEARING -- ACCESSORY STRUCTURE SETBACK PERMIT
BACKGROUND
The Planning Commission recommended the proposed accessory structure setback permit
to only allow flexibility for attached or detached garages. The amended language has been
provided.
Although the definition of an accessory structure/building includes more than garages, the
proposed ordinance defines which accessory structures are being addressed for the permit.
Therefore, I recommend leaving the name of this ordinance as proposed.
• The definition for accessory building is below. I found no definitions for storage buildings
or sheds. The section numbers of the proposed ordinance will be assinged upon City
Attorney review. The City Attorney provided the City with the original ordinance language,
which was also used in Deephaven.
1605.01; Subd. 1. Definitions; Accessory Building. A subordinate building on the same lot
as the primary building on a lot, the use of which is incidental to the use of the primary
building.
RECOMMENDATION
Recommend to the City Council the adoption of the accessory structure setback permit.
•
• CITY OF SAINT ANTHONY
NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
Notice is hereby given that the Planning Commission will hold a public hearing to consider
the proposed accessory structure setback permit on Tuesday, February 16, 1993 at 7:05 P.M.,
or as soon thereafter as possible. Public Hearings are held in the Council Chambers of the
City Hall, 3301 Silver Lake Road (enter northeast corner).
An attached or detached garage may be located within the side setbacks
and/or rear setbacks set forth in Sections 1615.04, 1616.04, and/or 1620.04 if
a setback permit has been issued. The garage area will cover an area of no
more than 528 square feet and no dimension.of which is greater than 24 feet.
In granting or denying the setback permit, the Council will consider criteria

RE: Request for Tax Increment Assistance
Professional Building
3901 Silver Lake Road
St. Anthony, Minnesota
Dear Mr. Burt:
With this letter and attached documentation, I would like to request City assistance in the form of tax
increment financing (TIF) to enable our dental group to redevelop two (2) lots located at the northeast
corner of 39th Avenue and Silver Lake Road (across from Apache Plaza). The proposed redevelopment
would require the removal of an existing structure and the construction of a new professional office
building; our proposal is described by the following summary.
Existing Situation
I currently own.Lot 2, Block 1, Holien's First Addition, Ramsey County. This is the second lot north
of 39th Avenue on the east side of Silver Lake Road. I have an option to purchase Lot 1, Block 1
which is on the northeast corner of 39th Avenue and Silver Lake Road and immediately south of my
lot. This Lot 1 is currently occupied by a structure that was originally constructed as a single family
home. It most recently was used as a real estate office and it now remains vacant. There was also a
house on Lot 2, which because of some deficiencies, was demolished approximately one year ago:
Pmposed Proiect
The proposed project involves the removal of the existing structure, the combining of the two lots, and
the subsequent construction of an 8,300 square foot professional building. Ile building would be of
very high quality design and construction, it would provide the parking spaces required to meet city
ordinances, and it would comply with city setback requirements. The design, (see the enclosed building
elevation), would be residential in flavor, intended to blend with the family-style neighborhood to the
north and east.
The building-would be home to our dental practice and to other dental specialists. Personally, I have •
been practicing for 30 years and our clinic is currently located at 2958 Johnson St. N.E., Minneapolis,
MN. The dental specialists are those that I currently work with and they will provide quality service
and compliment our operations. We would like to begin construction early in 1993, and take occupancy
in the summer of 1993.
Request for Tax Increment Assistance
A. Tvne of District - We are requesting that the City establish a Redevelopment District. It is our
opinion that when the properties are combined, they will qualify under Section 469.174 Subd.
10.1 in that the substandard building occupies over 15% of the area. In that regard, please find
attached a letter and a property survey summary dated
12-1-92 prepared by the Runyan/Vogel Group, Inc. In short, the Runyan/Vogel Group has
documented extensive building and fire code deficiencies that would be cost prohibitive to
correct.
B. Amount Requested - We are requesting that the City provide $125,000 of assistance to the
project. This assistance will be in form of a land write down. The total purchase of Lot 1 is
$125,000. It is our consultant's estimate (see attached cash flows dated
12-3-92, 4 pages of 4 and 1 page of 1) that we can achieve $125,000 in approximately 10 years
of tax increment.
C. Method of Projects for Tax Increment - We are requesting that the City use the "Pay-as-you-go
method for tax increment, to be paid over ten years. A sample form is shown on page 4 of our •
consultant's cash flow.
D. But-for analysis - In order to justify the request for tax increment financing and complete the
but-for analysis, we have prepared a pro forma. This model compares the project with a similar
market rate rental to determine whether or not the investment of equity is valid under current
market conditions. You will note that under the column entitled "Without Tax Increment
Assistance" the return on equity is approximately $17,000 or 5.3%. This amount is obviously
too low of a return on an investment, given current market conditions. The second column
entitled "With Tax Increment Assistance" allows a return of approximately 9.22% which is
closer to the needed return to attract investment-quality equity.
E. LGA Method We are proposing that the City use a portion of its allowed 10% administrative
fee to cover the LGA loss. Page 3 of our consultant's cash flow demonstrates how this process
might work..
F. TIF Assistance - Page 1 of the consultant's cash flow provides the assumptions we used in our
analysis.
Enclosed, please find the requested escrow deposit of$2,500.00. My understanding is that the escrow
is used for the City's costs of legal and fiscal help; expenses not incurred should be refunded.
Conclusion
The property at the northeast corner of 39th Avenue and Silver Lake Road needs to be redeveloped.
The proposed project would eliminate a dysfunctional land use with a quality building that would add
both value and service to Silver Lake Road and the neighborhood. The assistance requested would
enable the project to proceed and would be consistent with the effort to upgrade the Apache Plaza area.
I am anxious to begin this project and hope that the City concurs with' me on the importance of this
project to this area. If I can provide additional information, please feel free to contact me or Mark
Murlowski, Project Manager for Belair Builders, Inc. our general contractor.
Sincerely,
Jolla

STAFF REPORT
DATE: February 9, 1993
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: David Mark Urbia, Management Assistant
ITEM: CONCEPT REVIEW -- 3901/3909 SILVER LAKE ROAD
BACKGROUND
The proposed site plan with ten foot variance is the item for discussion. The people desiring
to take part in this redevelopment would appreciate Planning Commission comments
towards a variance to allow for additional parking.
Section 1635.05, Subd. 7 requires a setback area of not less than 20 feet from any property
in a residential district within which setback area parking, storage and/or loading facilities
are excluded. The variance would be for ten feet of the parking setback from a residential
district. There are two potential advantages of granting a variance: (1) additional parking
area, and (2) the refuse/recycling area would be less visible. In addition, the abutting
residential property is vacant.
RECOMMENDATION
Review the proposal and provide input.

Re: Proposed St. Anthony Professional Building
Silver Lake Road and 35th Avenue
Project 92-73
Dear Mr. Burt:
Per our recent meeting, we are including ten copies of 11" x 17" plans of the following:
1. Proposed Site Plan acknowledging all existing setbacks for parking and building.
2. Proposed site plan with 10' variance depicting a variance request for changing the
• parking setback from 20' to 10' on the southern portion of the-east property line
abutting the undeveloped residential comer lot.
3. An image sketch of the Silver Lake Road view of the proposed facility.
As indicated in our earlier meeting, this would be an informal request of the Planning
Commission at the February 16 meeting to determine their feelings about this variance.
This change would generate four additional and better accessed parking spaces. It would
also locate the trash enclosure further north, away from 39th Avenue and behind or east of
the new building. If the reaction is positive, we would seek a formal request at the March
meeting.
The remaining 10' green area would be utilized to provide the required visual screening
through heavy landscaping and/or aesthetic fencing.
We appreciate, in advance, your presentation of,this request to the Commission. Please call
if you have any questions.

11 'N' Shop )
12
13 Owners of the Stop ' N ' Shop, James Sarna and William Vogt ,
14 submitted a comprehensive sign plan for a strip mall they own
15 at 38th Avenue and Stinson Boulevard . This plan consists of
16 three elements : ( 1 ) wall signs , ( 2 ) replacement pylon sign ,
17 and ( 3) ground sign for a strip mall .
18
19 Some of these signs are already in place and were allowed to
20 stay until the new sign ordinance had received approval . This
21 ordinance defined what criteria must be met to be designated
22 as a "strip mall . " The Stop ' N' Shop station and the adjoining
23 businesses meet the criteria and the existing signage can now
24 be reconsidered under that category .
25
26 The submitted plan also includes a request for a reader board .
The City Manager stated his concerns with this reader board
noting that it could impact on the surrounding neighborhood
29 and traffic as it is very large .
30
31 Commissioner Murphy advised that the Planning Cormnission
32 viewed two sign types , B5 and B6 . Currently Mr . Sarna and Mr .
33 Vogt have a B8 type of sign which is 150 . 84 square feet at
34 their station at 33rd Avenue and Stinson Boulevard. The
35 Planning Commission did not have a rendering of a type B8 sign
36 at their meeting.
37
38 In the fall of 1991 a variance was granted to these owners for
39 a B5 type of sign at this location which was 208 . 7 square
40 feet , had four price signs , a smaller gasoline brand sign , a
41 strip mall identification sign and six feet of ground
42 clearance . tinder the new sign ordinance, the number of price
43 signs and price sign size is not a consideration as the new
44 total sign surface area allowed is 150 square feet .
45
46 The City Manager advised that the owners are requesting 200
47 square foot signage and he noted that a B5 would be 190 square
48 feet . They feel a B8 sign would be too small for the site
49 although it would be in conformance with the new sign
50 ordinance .

11
12 Councilmember Marks noted that the policy of the Council had
13 traditionally been to keep the size of signs limited as this
14 is more. effective and gives an uncluttered appearance.
15
16 Councilmember Enrooth observed that the red color of the sign
17 will make it very obvious .
18
19 Motion by Wagner , second by Marks to approve the comprehensive
20 sign plan with the condition that a B5 sign is used and there
21 will be landscaping which allows it to be seven foot ground

32 the proposed by- laws . The City Manager stated that there
33 appeared to be no problem with having them. The Council is
34 being requested to procedurally approve the by-laws as they
35 did not need to be adopted by the Council .
36
37 Noting there was an abstention by a Planning Commission
38 commissioner on approving the comprehensive sign plan , Mayor
39 Ranallo suggested that abstentions should not be used unless
40 there is a conflict of interest . He recommended that there
41 should be a "nay" vote when an issue is not supported rather
42 than an abstention . The Mayor felt this issue should be
43 included in the by-laws .

34 Anthonv "Dollars" nor gift certificates do not constitute
35 legal tender and would not be acceptable to replace
36 salary increases .
37
38 The City Manager had hoped that St . Anthony "Dollars"
39 would have been used as holiday gifts and he will pursue
40 this matter with local businesses in the future .
41
42 The City Manager noted that Mr . Weehoff has also felt
43 City employees should reside in St . Anthony . This is not
44 constitutional . Councilmember Enrooth -suggested this is
45 a State matter and should be pursued on that level of
46 government .

50 1 . Letter From Super Valu
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING
JANUARY 12 , 1993
PAGE 7

6 A letter , dated January 12 , 1993 , was distributed to the
7 Council . The letter reaffirmed Super Valu ' s commitment to
8 build an 88 , 000 square foot Cub Store at Apache Plaza .
9
10 Mayor Ranallo referred' to a recent article in a local
11 newspaper which addressed the concerns of a Minneapolis
12 City Councilmember , the Central Avenue Commercial
13 Association and MCDA regarding Super Valu ' s decision not
14 to build a Cub Store at 18th and Central Avenues . It was
15 their consensus opinion that the store was not being
16 built as Super Valu is building at Apache Plaza .
17
18 The City Manager suggested that this situation has never
19 been viewed as one' of competition and that the City of
20 St . Anthony has never been concerned with what happened
21 at 18th and Central Avenues . He noted that Super Valu has
22 abandoned the store project . at 18th and Central Avenues
23 for reasons other than a store being built at Apache
24 Plaza , two of them being the soil conditions and the size
25 of the parcel available .
26
It had been suggested that there may be a higher and
better use for the land at Apache Plaza where Super Valu
29 is intending to build . Alternative uses were examined by
30 the City Council . It was found that a residential
31 development , such as Wexford Heights , would still not
32 generate taxes equal to that of commercial or industrial
33 developments . Councilmember Wagner noted that extreme
34 density of residential property may work but would have
35 to be low, moderate income residential developments .
36
37 The City Manager observed that tax increment financing
38 could not be used for a residential development .
39
40 The Mayor requested staff to review records for other
41 proposals for development of this property. He also
42 recalled that . Bob Thistle, of Springsted Financial
43 Advisors , recommended commercial development and
44 inclusion in a tax increment finance district .
45
46 Councilmember Enrooth noted that Apache Plaza had
47 requested two tax abatements in as many. years . He felt
48 the addition of the Cub Store was the only way to reverse
49 this trend.

7 would attract other businesses into Apache Plaza thereby
8 benefitting all the other businesses . He also suggested
9 since the City does not own the site , it does not control
i0 it .

24 price was reasonable .
25
26 Mayor Ranallo noted that the property has been vacant for
27 the last year . It would be beneficial for the City to •
7. 8 demolish the house and offer the property for sale to a
29 developer who would build a home on it .

7 Discussion was held as to the appropriateness of continuing
8 the practice of recognizing the City ' s volunteers at a dinner
9 and an evening hosted by the City Council . Members of the City
10 Council took a position that this practice should be
11 continued . There is funding included in the budget for this
12 affair .
13
14 Referring to comments received last year regarding this
15 evening, Councilmember Enrooth felt it was a response to the
16 climate of the economy and the war . He observed this is a very
17 effective way to say "Thank You" to the many volunteers who
18 give service to the City. Councilmember Marks felt it should
19 focus on the City' s mission .
20
21 4 . Contract Police Proposal
22 The City of Lauderdale has requested a quote for police
23 protection from St . Anthony. Presently, they contract for
24 police service from Roseville. The City Manager felt a very
25 competitive quote -could be given .
26 •27 This contract would not affect the level of police service for
28 St . Anthony. The City Manager felt there would be advantages
29 for St . Anthony from this contract with the possible purchase
30 of another squad car, funds generated from data entry, radio
31 costs and prosecution costs .
32
33 Noting that Lauderdale is adjacent to St . Anthony' s border,
34 there would be excellent response time. It is about five-
35 tenths of a mile away.
36
37 Councilmember Marks observed that the addition of the
38 aformentioned advantages would enhance the St . Anthony Police
39 Department ' s opportunities to increase its service to its own
40 residents .
41
42 The Council directed the City Manager to present a quote to
43 Lauderdale.
44
45 5 . Crime Watch

8 Council organize a group of residents to work on initiating
9 crime watch programs in all areas of the City . This could be
10 done on a door-to-door basis and function with volunteers .
11
12 The City of Falcon Heights has 100% participation in its Crime
13 Watch Program. One staff member in the City of Roseville is
14 responsible for administering this program in that city.
15
16 The Mayor felt the Crime Watch Program is very important and
17 it should be operated through the City Manager and the Police
18 Chief . He noted that the Police Chief did not address this
19 particular program in his annual report .
20
21 Councilmember Enrooth recalled this issue had been discussed
22 with the Police Chief and he had advised there was not
23 sufficient manpower available to implement the program
24 throughout the City.
25
6 The City Manager advised that one of the police reserves is
finishing his training in the Crime Watch Program. He will
talk to the Police Chief about setting up goals for the
29 program and involving residents in its promotion .
30
31 Councilmember Marks questioned if residents perhaps saw no
32 value in the program or were just not knowledgeable enough
33 about it .
34
35 The City Manager felt the program just needs to be more widely
36 addressed on an informational level and residents need to
37 become involved to make the program a success . He cited the
38 example of attempting to put a Crime Watch Program into Autumn
39 Woods . He noted there was a definite lack of enthusiasm among
40 the residents . This complex has experienced some inside
41 security problems and it would have been a very effective
42 location for the program.
43
44 Councilmember Enrooth has observed that in some areas of the
45 City there is a good deal of "watching" out for other ' s homes
46 and property.
