FROM: Kim Moore-Sykes, Management Assistant
ITEM: 98-07 Sideyard Variance Request for 3613 Edward St.
John Malenick, Buyer
BACKGROUND:
Mr. and Mrs. John Malenick recently purchase 3613 Edward Street N.E. from John and
Liesha Ingdahl. As you recall, Mr. and Mrs. Ingdahl came before the Planning Commission
on May 20, 1997 and requested a lot width variance for this parcel so they could build a home.
The recommendation to approve the lot width variance was submitted to the City Council and
was granted at a subsequent Council meeting. Apparently, Mr. and Mrs. Ingdahl have
decided not to build and put the lot up for sale.
Mr. Malenick is a full time firefighter for the City of St. Anthony and has been looking for a
residence in"St. Anthony for his family. When this vacant lot became available, it was an
opportunity to build a home to suit the needs of his family.
ANALYSIS:
Mr. Malenick submitted an application for a variance of 1'/2 feet to the north sideyard in order
to be able to construct his home. The house he proposes to build is 46.5 feet wide and has a 5-
foot sideyard on the south and 8.5 on the north side of the lot. The total square footage of
imperious surfaces is 3,806.5, including the proposed driveway and lot coverage is 23.9%.
The lot coverage is within the 35% lot coverage restriction as stipulated in the City Ordinance.
Minnesota.Statutes and City Ordinances require that several conditions-must be satisfied-for
approval of this variance request. As such, no variance will be granted unless the evidence
presented discloses that strict enforcement of the Ordinance would cause undue hardship
because the property cannot be put to a reasonable use without the variance. This parcel is
only 60 feet wide, as are many of the lots in this area; several of the homes were built between .
1930 and 1969, before insulation and R-values were possibly considerations in the construction
of these homes; and the area is zoned R-1. Keeping this lot vacant would not be a reasonable
use, nor its greatest or best use.
The circumstances causing the hardship must also not be created by the owner. As reported by
Staff during the May 20, 1997 public hearing for the lot width variance for this parcel, this lot
was platted before the City's Zoning Ordinance was adopted, therefore this hardship was not
created by the current owner.
The variance, if granted, also will not alter the essential characteristic of this residential
neighborhood because Mr. Malenick plans to build a home in which he and his family plan to
occupy. This fact also proves that economic considerations are not a basis for this sideyard
variance request.

30 A. Lot Width Variance Request for 3123 Silver Lake Road-David Newgaard,
31 Owner.
32 Ms. Moore-Sykes reported Mr.Newgaard had submitted this application before she was able to
33 talk with him. Commissioner Gondorchin contacted her with questions, and this caused her to
Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes
April 21, 1998
Page 2
1 investigate the request further. She reported this is an existing lot with a house located on it.
2 The lot currently is 66 feet in width which is too small to split under current City ordinance and
3 is unbuildable as it exists. Ms..Mobre-Sykes stated she was not clear as to the intent of the
4 request and would need to contact the applicant.
5 There was Commission consensus to table the request to allow Staff to obtain further information
6 in regard to the intent of the applicant.
7 B. Subdivision/Replat of Lot 1, Block 1, Beutz Addition- Wirth Companies,Apache
8 Medical Building.
9 Mr. Tom Hanka, The Wirth Companies, explained that the Stinson Boulevard Corporation
10 currently owns all of Lot 1, Block 1, Beutz Addition. Wirth Companies recently acquired Lot 2,
11 Block 1, Apache Plaza, which is currently vacant. It is not possible to develop this property as it
12 exists because of the size and the restrictions of the City ordinance. The proposal would split Lot
13 1, Block 1, Beutz Addition, and divide the property between the Apache Medical Building
14 property and Lot 2, Block 1, Apache Plaza. Apache Medical Center would retain area for 232
15 parking spaces, with 200 spaces required by City ordinance. This would allow Lot 2, Block 1,
16 Apache Plaza to be developed.
17 Chair Bergstrom asked if there.were any easements.on the lot and questioned the,minimum lot
18 size in a commercial district.
19 Mr. Hanka stated there is an access easement across Lot 1, Block 1, so that Apache Plaza
20 Medical Building will always have access rights. The size of Lot 1, Block 1 is 55 feet by 198
21 feet.
22 Commissioner Horst asked if the subdivision was necessary. He noted there was adequate
23 parking on the Apache Medical Building site without the additional parcel and asked if it
24 wouldn't be simpler to deed the entire parcel of Lot 1, Block 1 to Lot 2, Block 1.
25 Mr. Hanka explained that currently, including the area of Lot 1, Block 1, Apache Medical
26 Building has 325 parking spaces. With the lot split Apache Medical Building will have 232
27 parking spaces and the other property will have 90 spaces. The Apache Medical Building is
28 designed for doctor and dentist tenants and the City ordinance has restrictions for the minimum
29 parking spaces. If more of these tenants locate in the building, the additional parking spaces may
30 be necessary.
31 Ms. Moore-Sykes noted that the current ordinance requires a minimum commercial lot area of
32 15,000 square feet and a width of 100 feet. The proposed subdivision/plat approval would result
33 in two lots which did not meet the requirements. She stated the lot could be split and it will then
34 be necessary for the resulting parcels to be combined with the existing lots to meet City code
35 requirements.

2 for this proposal to meet the City Code requirements.
3 VIII. OLD BUSINESS.
4 1. Robodyne Request for Town/Country.
5 Ms. Moore-Sykes noted the tour of the Robodyne facility is scheduled for April 28, 1998 at 6:00
6 P.M.
7 Mr. Bill Warner, Kraus Anderson Realty, stated he had been present at the last Commission
8 meeting to present the possibility of a variance, conditional use permit, or rezoning to allow
9 Robodyne to relocate in.the Town& Country building. He introduced Mr. Joseph Alvite, owner
10 of Robodyne.
11 Mr. Joseph Alvite, owner of Robodyne, distributed a brochure describing his company. He noted
12 the picture of the current facilities located in the City of St. Anthony and the State of North
13 Dakota. He explained that in 1963 he moved jobs to North Dakota because the State of North
14 Dakota gave the company $2.5 million to build a manufacturing building. The investment they
15 made in the company has been paid back three times over. Robodyne was incorporated in 1990.
16 It was taken to market in 1993 and through a tremendous amount of money and patience,.has
17 developed the products it has today.
18 Robodyne has moved three times to locations in northeast Minneapolis and St. Anthony and is
19 seeking to locate in the Town& Country building to expand once more. This is an ideal location
20 which will suit the company's needs. Mr. Alvite stated he hated to move out of the community
21 because studies show that every time a business moves it robs people's lives. He stated he has
22 spent a tremendous amount of money training his employees and with a move out of the
23 community he expects to lose 20% of his workforce. The building would be a great asset to him
24 by providing the opportunity for expansion with minimal disruption.
25 Mr. Alvite displayed a rendition of the proposed changes to the exterior of the Town& Country
26 building utilizing the company colors of blue and white. He felt the relocation would provide a
27 new lease on life to the building and noted the location had plenty of parking. The relocation
28 would help him retain jobs in the City and continue to employ the people who have made the
29 company possible.
30 Chair Bergstrom explained that the City of St. Anthony wanted to do everything possible to
31 maintain and develop the tax base, retain jobs (especially high tech jobs), and retain business in
32 the City. The City is currently in the process of hiring a planning consultant to look at
33 redevelopment of the entire St. Anthony Shopping Center area over the next 10-20 years. The
34 City is concerned in general, with mixing commercial and light industrial properties. From a
35 planning standpoint, the City is reluctant to convert part of a commercial area to light industrial.
36 Chair Bergstrom questioned Ms. Moore-Sykes comment that Robodyne may be able to locate in
Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes
April 21, 1998
Page 4
1 the Town & Country Store building with a conditional use permit as opposed to rezoning.
2 Ms. Moore-Sykes reported that the commercial district allows a conditional use permit to be
3 granted to a''company who performs computer research and program development.
4 Mr. Alvite welcomed the opportunity for the Commission to visit the Robodyne site. He
5 explained that all welding, painting and fabrication is performed at the North Dakota site. The
6 work performed at the St. Anthony site is clean and efficient and the waste is minimal. He stated
7 he has an interest in two future expansion capabilities including a packaging company and an
8 component fabrication company.
9
10 Chair Bergstrom stated he did not believe that the concern of the Planning Commission or the
I I City was the waste generated or the smelter. The concern was with moving a light industrial
12 business into a.commercial zone. A group of commercial buildings is synergistic.
13 Mr. Alvite stated that in the future he would like to make the entire St. A nthony Shopping Center
14 area into a light industrial, high-tech computer center. He hoped to negotiate with other
15 companies to make the entire area into a high-tech corridor.
16 Chair Bergstrom encouraged this concept. He then noted a concern that rezoning to light
17 industrial would block the potential future development of the Northgate complex to the south.
18 Commissioner Kaczor asked how many people were employed by Robodyne in St. Anthony and
19 asked if Mr. Alvite anticipated outgrowing the Town& Country building. .
20 Mr. Alvite reported there are 35 people employed at the St. Anthony location. He stated that he
21 does not foresee outgrowing the building for at least 5 to 6 years. But if the company does, he
22 hopes there will be other buildings available in the immediate area.
23 Mr. Warner stated he was not against a conditional use pen-nit. His only concern was that Mr.
24 Alvite would ultimately be able to own the building. Mr. Alvite may not be interested in
25 investing the capital in the building if the opportunity to purchase.is not available.-
26 Chair Bergstrom stated he did not know what the future will hold for the Town& Country
27 building. In five years there may be a completely different plan for the area. However, he could
28 not imagine what the City could do that would preclude Mr. Alvite's option to buy t he building.
29 Mr. Warner asked if the Commission had a sense of their decision. He noted that Mr. Alvite's
30 current lease has expired and he is paying 200% of the normal rent for the site. Mr. Alvite is
31 looking for direction rapidly.
32 Chair Bergstrom stated he did not know that there was consensus on either the Planning
33 Commission or the City Council. Some are reluctant to locate anything in the building other

I than commercial. Others would rather not see the property sit vacant.
2 Mr. Warner stated the property.would not remain vacant. He does have a commercial client,.a
3 storage rental facility business, interested in the site.
4 There was direction to'Staff to look into the possibility of a conditional use permit and to consult
5 with the City Attorney forhis opinion.
6
7 2. Review Point of Sale Ordinance for Qfty.
8 Ms. Moore-Sykes noted a proposed ordinance for point of sale housing evaluation which is a
.9 compilation of a variety of other ordinances received through the League of Minnesota Cities.
10 This ordinance would essentially be a way to get a handle on code enforcement in the City. Also
I I included in the Commission packet are copies of housing evaluation forms that the City of St.
12 Louis Park uses., and informational brochures which they make available to the residents
13 regarding the reasons for the inspection program and the procedure. St. Louis Park provides an
14 application for housing inspection and requires that it be completed before the sale of the house
15 is closed so that the buyer is aware of any existing problems. Also included in the packet is an
16 article which was in the Focus regarding the possibility of the City of Roseville establishing a
17 task force to discuss housing preservation and a newspaper article that appeared in the Star&
18 Tribune.
19 Chair Bergstrom asked if the point of sale housing ordinance was limited to the correction of
20 immediate hazards.
21 Ms. Moore-Sykes stated that most of the point of sale ordinances focus on this.
22 Chair Bergstrom questioned how normal maintenance and upkeep would be monitored.
23 Ms. Moore-Sykes stated that monitoring is a continuous process of inspecting people homes.
24 The assessor would have the easiest access to this information. The question is how intrusive the
25 City will become when they receive the information.
26 Chair Bergstrom noted Carrie Luther had advised him that the Hennepin County Assessor does
27 make a general observation of the housekeeping, etc., and this information is available to the
28 City. He suggested this infonnation should be obtained and monitored to establish general trends
29 in the housing stock.
30 Chair Bergstrom stated he did not know how much fin-ther the City could go on a point of sale
31 basis. The existing City Codes include housing maintenance and probably should be re-
32 examined. He did not comprehend the mission of establishment of a task force. He stated
33 discussion he has seen lately at the City level relates to reluctance and difficulty of enforcement.
34 Ms. Moore-Sykes noted there is reluctance on both sides of the issue. The current code enforcer
Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes
April 21, 1998
Page 6
I is taking more of a pro-active and gentler approach, and since November has been quite
2 successful. He is distributing brochures and explaining the opportunities, for clean-up. He.has
3. had contact.with the property owners at Silver Lane and Silver Lake Road on two o*ccasions and
4 feels he has achieved a degree of success. He offers offenders a solution rather than
5 recrimination.
6 Commissioner Kaczor stated he has spoken with the Fire Chief and he has stated that he is
7 promoting Clean-Up Day in the City and will deal with what remains a problem after that event.
8 Ms. Moore-Sykes noted the Fire Chief does submit a report every week on code e nforcement and
9 this can be made available to the Planning Commissioners so they can see the progress being
10 made.
I I Chair Bergstrom noted that St. Louis Park collects a fee and questioned the concept of this.
12 Ms. Moore-Sykes suggested that the fee may be to cover administrative work to deal with the
13 application process. The ordinance may be more friendly to residents if they are not required to
14 pay a fee.
15 Chair Bergstrom questioned Section 1306.7, Subd.-7 of the proposed ordinance, "A buyer
16 intending to correct immediate hazards must have written consent from the City." He asked if
17 this was overly intrusive on the part of the City.
18 Ms. Moore-Sykes stated this was included so the City would have proof that the work was
19 actually completed.
20 Chair Bergstrom suggested a second inspection be required with a report submitted to the City to
21 verify that all work had been completed.
22 Commissioner Kaczor noted that an inspection can cost$300. These costs are likely to be added
23 to the price of the house.
24 Chair Bergstrom asked how the City can.stop a transaction.
25 Ms. Moore-Sykes stated the enforcement options are addressed in 1306.08, Subd. 3. Options can
26 include mandamus, injunction, or other appropriate remedy in a court of competent jurisdiction.
27 Ms. Moore-Sykes noted the ordinance will be presented to the Council at their May 5 work
28 session. She is also preparing a proposed Park Commission Ordinance to be presented at that
29 work session.
30
31 Chair Bergstrom noted that some of the items addressed in point of sale ordinance are'also
32 addressed in the Uniform Building Code and the Fire Code and should be referenced. He stated
Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes
April 21, 1998
Page 7
1 he had other comments but would give his notes to Staff for consideration.
2 3. Information on Phalen Center Project and Roseville Cornerstone Project.
3 Ms. Moore-Sykes noted a substantial amount of information on these two projects included in
4 the Commission packet for review. Also included for review are several pages from the City's
5 proposed Comprehensive Plan Update that discuss the St. Anthony Shopping area, including the
6 -residential "triangle" at Kenzie Terrace and Lowry Avenue.
7 Ms. Moore-Sykes reported she had also contacted the City of New Brighton's Economic
8 Development Specialist and she suggested the City compose a letter that specifics what they
9 would-like to see in the development. Ms. Moore-Sykes has presented this to the City Manager
10 but he felt St. Anthony was more interested in an RFP.
11 Commissioner Kaczor reported he had spoken with Roseville Planning Cornmissioner Doug
12 Wilke about the Cornerstone Project. He stressed that if the City works with a consultant who
13 presents ideas for development, the residents need to be kept informed and they need to
14 understand the difference between the actual plan and the conceptual ideas.
15 4. Task Forces Update.
16 Ms. Moore-Sykes reported.that the last Parks Advisory Task Force meeting was held last night.
17 The Task-Force plans to present their recommendations to the City Council at the April 28, 1998
18 Council meeting. A report was made by the sub-committee who has been working on the
19 equipment design for the tot lot. A vendor has been chosen. The Public Works Department will
20 perform the site preparation and the vendor will perform the installation and landscaping. The
21 project will cost approximately $25,000. The Task Force is discussing an open house to be held
22 after the playground is installed to help raise support and funding for the park system. Bob Kost,
23 BRW, Inc., has suggested that along with the Sports Boosters, a Friends of the Park group be
24 established to help with fund-raising.
25 Ms. Moore-Sykes explained that when the Task Force was initiated, they were charged with
26 consideration of redevelopment of all the parks in the City. This was then delayed due to the
27 water issues and it was decided to stress the redevelopment of Central Park. This wa's also
28 decided as there was not enough funds to complete major redevelopment of all the parks and the
29 redevelopment of Central Park will complete the redevelopment of the entire area(with the
30 Community Center/City Hall,tennis courts, etc.). The Task Force is recommending the storm
31 water retention area in the northeast comer of Central Park be enhanced from what it is now.
32 The fields to be reconfigured in a shamrock design, a concession area with restroorns facilities,
33 restroorn facilities on the outer edges of the park, a trail system which will,interconnect the fields
34 and City Hall, a play area for older children on the south end.near the water tower, and a gradual
35 development of a play area on the north end of the park as well.
36 Chair Bergstrom asked if a bandshell was included in the plan. He also questioned if funds were
37 available for the plan.
Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes
April 21, 1998
Page 8
I Ms. Moore-Sykes stated a bandshell is included in the Central Park design. The plan will be
2 completed as theftinds become available. The possibility of grants and fund-raising will be
3 pursued.
4 Commissioner Kaczor asked when the tennis courts would be completed.
5 Ms. Moore-Sykes stated they will be completed by August. In response to Commissioner Horst,
6 she explained the delay has resulted due to the Public Works Department trying to work on the
7 tennis courts in between all the other scheduled projects.
8 Chair Bergstrom noted the Boy Scouts could help spread the woodchips at the tot lot site and
9 save approximately $1,000 in contractors cost. Bergstrom will organize the efforts but requested
10 a 7-10 day notice.
11 Ms. Moore-Sykes reported the next scheduled Storm Water Task Force meeting is May 13, 1998.
12 5. Comprehensive Plan Status Update.
13 Ms. Moore-Sykes reported Jim Larson, Water Resource Division of the Metropolitan Council
14 has requested supplemental inforination in regard to water conservation plan, storm sewer,
15 infiltration inflow, erosion policies, and wetland. Also an Erosion Ordinance needs to be drafted.
16 Ms. Moore-Sykes stated she had submitted the supplemental information approximately two
17 weeks ago and expects a response within 60 days.
18 IX. COMMENTS.
19 Commissioner Kaczor reported he had visited the Smart Stop on 33'Avenue. The back room
20 they have recently enclosed looks nice and the store is well kept. Kaczor presented Chair
21 Bergstrom with'a Code Enforcement Procedure which has been drafted by the Fire Chief and was
� 22 presented at a Council work session. He noted the County Assessor was also present at that
23 meeting and it bothered Kaczor that from the way the Assessor talked, the whole City of St.
24 Anthony was inundated with water. Kaczor reported that residents of the Equinox Apartments
25 will be recognized.at the April 28, 1998 Council meeting for resuscitating a drowning victim in
26 their pool. Kaczor noted he is the solicitation person.for-VillageFest and he has been able to
27 recruit 13 people to help with the event. VillageFest is also looking for a co-chair.
28 Chair Bergstrom reported he had seen Doug Jones at the Freedom Gas Station and Mr. Jones was
29 talking with the Assistant Manager of the store in regard to how the station is not in compliance
30 with the plans submitted and approved by Rice Creek Watershed. Mr. Jones has since sent
31 Bergstrom copies of the correspondence and the plan that has been resubmitted to Rice Creek
32 Watershed District. Bergstrom stated he is philosophically in agreement with Mr. Jones that
33 protection of the water quality that is going into Silver Lake is important. He was pleased to see
34 someone keeping track of the issue and also pleased to see Rice Creek Watershed District
35 remaining firm on the requirements.

Sipdature of Ap(5liZnt
#1 Due to the very limited vacant property sites available in St. Anthony, we are forced to
negotiate with a somewhat narrow lot. The home design we believe will fulfill our
growing family's needs would be slightly wider than ordinance allows.
#2- Many modem building techniques and code requirements result in somewhat large,
bulkier homes(i.e.;-thicker walls to increase R-value insulation ratings).
#3 As we understand the ordinance, a 60'wide lot would limit the width of a house to 45'.
It is our wish to build a homeAlrwide, requiring a,3variance to the applicable City
ordinance.
It is our intention to build our home with modem and traditional building materials
including a concrete block foundation, wood framing, and aluminum siding with an asphalt
shingle roof
Landscaping would include a rock boarder around the house with a standard lawn. The
natural slope to the lot may require a small retaining wall to allow fora walk-out basement
door.
Storm water would be managed with a combination of a drain tile gravity flow and sump
pump system where by storm water would be moved away from the house and out.to the
center of thefi-ont yard.

ITEM: R-1 Lot Width Variance for 3613 Edward Street
John and Liesha Ingdal, Buyers
BACKGROUND:
Mr. and Mrs. Ingdal are proposing to buy a vacant lot at 3613 Edward Street. The lot is
60 ft. x 265 ft, giving it 15,900 sq. ft., which is more area than is required for an interior
R-1 lot. The problem is that this vacant lot is only 60 ft. wide, making it-a non-buildable*
lot according to the City's Zoning Ordinance.
Most of the lots in the neighborhood are only 60 ft. wide or less, but were developed
before the Ordinance was codified in 1978. The house on the property directly south of
the subject property, 3609 Edward Street, was constru6te.d.in 1964; the construction date of
the property north of the subject property was 1945.
When Mr. and Mrs. Ingdal met with-Staff, there was some concern that this lot had been
illegally subdivided from one of the adjacent properties. The City Zoning Code does not
allow for the subdivision of property that creates a lot that is smaller than the minimum
lot size required, (Section 1650.01, Subd. 1). But upon examining the tax records and
speaking to the Ingdals, City Staff determined that the platting of these lots had occurred
prior to August 18, 1976 and the subject lot was not and had not been owned by the
owners of the adjacent lots.
Mr. and Mrs. Ingdal have indicated to Staff that they will attend this evening's Planning
Commission meeting to present their construction proposal, assuming they will be granted
a lot width variance for this property. The Public Hearing for this request is scheduled for
the June 17, 1997 Planning Commission meeting.

9 Mayor Ranallo stated he had spoken with Mr. Morgan, 3933 Silver Lake Road and

11 attend the meeting this evening but-stated he is still in opposition to the request.
12 Vote on the motion: Ranallo, Enrooth, Faust, Marks and Wagner voted naye.
13 Motion failed.
14 Marks suggested the City Attorney draft the conditions for approval of the conditional use
15 permit to ensure.the City obtain the desired results.
16 Mayor Ranallo questioned if the conditional use permit request was still valid due to the
17 denial of the variance request. The entire layout of the proposal may need to be changed.
18 Soth questioned if the applicant would want to proceed without the car wash.
19- Faust suggested consideration of the conditional use permit be tabled to allow the applicant to
20 make these decisions.

25 Mornson noted Mr. Rosar has offered to present the City with a cash escrow to guarantee the

26 improvements. The Planning Commission was not comfortable as they have not'required this
27 in the past.
28 Soth stated this could be a condition of the conditional use permit. He also reiterated if the
29 conditions of the conditional use permit are not met, the business is in violation of the permit.

ornmissioner Gondorchin reported a public hearing was held for consideration of a 15 foot
lot width-variance for 3 613 Edward Street. This is a vacant lot which is 60 foot-wide. The
3 Ingdals would like to place a single-family home.on.this la and City Ordinance'requires a lot
4 width of 75 feet. A preliminary plan of the proposed home'was presented whic'h'would
5 require no variances of any kind.
6 The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the lot width variance of
7 15 feet based on the following:
8 1 Strict enforcement would create undue hardship;
9 2. The hardship was not created by the landowner but is unique to the individual;
10 3.. This lot could'not be put to reasonable use in its current state without the variance;
11 and,
12 4. This variance is within the spirit of the redevelopment of St. Anthony and economic
13 considerations are not the sole criteria.
14 Cornmissioner Gondorchin reported one resident spoke in opposition to the variance request.
15 He challenged that if the City Ordinance requires 75 feet, how could the Commission accept
16 60 feet. His intention at that meeting was to challenge the City.
17 Marks noted this is a classic case where a variance is necessitated by a change in the
18 Ordinance.
19 Mayor Ranallo noted that every lot on that street is only 60 feet wide.
20 Faust remarked that the land could not be put to any other good use.
21 Motion by Marks, second by Wagner to approve the 15 foot variance to the lot width
22 requirement for 3613 Edward Street based on the findings of the Planning Commission.

30 1 Granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to

STAFF REPORT
DATE: May 19, 1998
TO: Planning Commissioners
FROM: Kim Moore-Sykes, Management Assistant
ITEM: 98-05 David G. Newgaard, 3123 Silver Lake Road
Lot Width Variance Request.
BACKGROUND:
David G. Newgaard submitted a lot width variance application for the vacant lot at 3123 Silver
Lake Road..,Mr. Newgaard reported to Staff that his mother, who resided at 3127 Silver Lake
Road, split her lot years ago, which created 3123 Silver Lake Road. He and his brother
inherited these two properties and are interested in selling 3123 Silver Lake Road. The lot,
which is zoned residential, is 66 feet wide, rather than the required 75 feet wide, and is not
currently a buildable lot.
ANALYSIS:
Minnesota Statutes and City Ordinances require that several conditions must be-satisfied for
approval of a variance request. No variance can be granted unless evidence is presented that
strict enforcement of the Ordinance will cause undue hardship; that the circumstances causing
the hardship were not created by the owner; that the property cannot be put to reasonable use
without the variance; if the variance is granted, it will not change the essential character of the
area; and economic considerations alone are not the basis of the hardship.
Because the current owners inherited this property from their mother, the circumstances
causing the need to request a-variance were not caused by the owners. Mr. Newgaard stated to
Staff that his mother had the lot split years ago and it is platted as a separate lot on the
Hennepin County Plat Maps.
As shown by th e plat map, several residential properties along Silver Lake Road are less than
the required 75 feet. The owners of those properties have either obtained a lot width variance
or are grandfathered in. In order for the vacant lot on 3123 Silver Lake Road to be buildable,
which would be a reasonable use in this residential district, it will require a lot width variance
and the granting of this variance request will not alter the essential character of the
neighborhood.
While it is true that the owners are requesting this lot width variance because the lot will be
more saleable with a variance, economic considerations are not the only reason for their
variance request.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: May 15, 1998
TO: Tom Hanka, Wirth Companies
FROM: Kim Moore-Sykes, Management Assistant
ITEM: Public Hearing for Subdivision of Property.
This memo is being addressed to you to inform and advise you that the Public Hearing
of Wirth'Companies' request for subdivision of property has been postponed to the June
16, 1998 Planning Commission meeting. It was originally scheduled for May 19, 1998
but due to lack of requested and required information, the.City was advised by its legal
counsel to postpone said Public Hearing.
in addition, the City has learned that a closing on the sale of the property is scheduled
for Monday, May 18, 1998. Our City Attorney has advised us that because the
property will be sold the day before it was originally scheduled for Public Hearing for
subdivision, your application for this subdivision may not be valid. I An application to
subdivide the property will have to be filed by the buyer, once he is the owner of the
subject property.
If you have additional questions or require more information, please call me at 612-
789-8881.
MEMORANDUM
DATE: May 1, 1998 .
TO: Michael J. Mom' son, City Manager
FROM: Kim, Moore-Sykes, Management Assistant
ITEM: Robodyne
I'talked with Bill Soth about whether or not Robodyne could locate in the old Town &
Country building with a conditional use permit. He said that there exist two
possibilities for them to obtain a conditional use permit under the City Code. The
Commercial zoning regulations allows for (ee) educational And scientific research
offices without laboratory facilities. It was his opinion that what Mr. Alvit6 calls
laboratories is not what is meant by the Ordinance.
Also, Bill thought the citation regarding computer research and program development
could also fit Robodyne's situation. He would like, to see Robodyne apply for a
conditional use permit thereby allowing the City more control over the proposed use.
When I explained to him that Robodyne does do some manufacturing in the
development of customer specifications, Bill maintained that he didn't consider that
manufacturing; it is still researching an idea to determine-if it will work. He said that
the Council may want to amend the Ordinance to make the language more clear if they
are not comfortable with the language as it currently exists.
I met with Mr. Alvit6 this afternoon and he said he is willing to meet with the Council
and the Planning Commission again to answer other questions or concerns that they
have. So, their request will not be on the May Planning Commission agenda.

14 be presented as a change order.
15 5. Morrison met with Dan Solar,Ramsey County,today and it is Mr. Solar's opinion that

1 C. Momson met yesterday with Kent Locksnoe, Director of the DNR. It is Mr.
2 Locksnoe's opinion that the City of St. Anthony will receive $2 million in ftinding
3 provided a contract with the State of Minnesota i's worked out. Mo.rnson will
4 meet with DNR staff within 30 days to start working on the contract.
5 d. Staff is proposing that the Storm Water Task Force meeting which is scheduled
6 for May 6 be postponed to May 13 as there is a conflict with the Annual Chamber
7 of Commerce meeting. Staff will also direct WSB to determine a
8 recommendation for use of the $4 million(as this is a matching grant) and present
9 this to the Task Force. The Task Force will present their recommendation for the
10 use of the ftinds at the Council's May 26 meeting. Morrison has talked with Sue
11. Kozarek and it may be that the Task Force's work will be done after the May 13
12 meeting. The members would be forwarded any Council agenda items which
13 pertain to the recommendations they have made. This decision will be discussed
14 at the May 13 Task Force meeting. We are now going into a decision-making
15 stage which will require a large amount of Council involvement.
16 e. More good news! On April 13, 1998, the Metropolitan Council approved a loan
17 in the amount of$40,000 to the City,of St. Anthony to pay WSB for the sump
18 PUMP inspection program. The loan will be forgiven if it is certified to the Met
19 Council every year that the Sump Pump Ordinance is effective for a five year
20 period.
21 f, The utility bills will be mailed on April 17, 1998. These bills will include the
22 increase in the Storm Water Utility Fee from $3 to $13.
23 Ranallo stated that Senator John Marty had voted against the Bonding Bill because it was tied
24 into other issues. He did however, put forth a great effort to help the City of St. Anthony with
25 the flood relief issue.
26 Morrison noted Senator Marty had set up the initial meeting with the Director of the DNR.
27 8. The Legislature-has voted for levy limits to remain in place for 1999.. The tax rate for
28 commercial will decrease again from 4.0%to 3.5%. Morrison has directed the Finance
29 Director and Bob Thistle of Springsted to detennine how this will affect the tax districts.
30 The only real concern is the Apache district. The Legislature does have a provision that
31 if the decrease in the tax rate impacts the ability of the City to pay its bond,the City can
32 set up a special district to levy against the benefitted property to assist in paying the bond,
33 or use other TIF money.

6 Center has been removed. There-are existing fuel tanks near the Public Works building which

15 B. Ordinance 1998-007, re: Cable TV Franchise Tenn (Waive First 2 Readings and Adopt).
16 Mayor Ranallo noted that.City policy is to have two readings and then adoption of any ordinance
17 change. This situation is unique in that the City did approve an extension of this ordinance 2-3
18 months ago which will expire on April 20, 1998. He explained that Meredith Cable is in the
19 process of selling the cable company and the company was to be purchased by U.S. West. U.S.
20 West was not allowed to purchase the cable company as it would infringe on the open policy
21 regarding cable. U.S. West has since decided to split it's company and include Media One who
22 would then purchase the cable company. He requested the Council approve this ordinance
23 amendment to allow the law firm time to continue to make progress on this issue.
24 Motion by Marks, second by Thuesen to waive the first two readings and adopt Ordinance 1998-
25 007, an ordinance amending Cable Franchise Ordinance 1982-009, Article II., Section 4,

I VIL REPORTS.
2 A. Presentation of Certificates of Appreciation to Two Residents Who Saved Another's Life
3 at the Equinox Apartments Swimming Pool.
4 Fire Chief Dick Johnson reported that the Fire Department responded to'a report of a drowning
5 victim at the Equinox Apartments on March 30, 1998. When Firefighters, arrived at the scene,
6 Dominic Turner and Brad Olson, residents of the Equinox Apartments, had pulled the victim,
7 Daniel Debi, out of the pool and started administering first aid. Mr. Debi has since reached full
8 recovery.
9 Chief Johnson noted the official response time of the Fire Department was 2 minutes. The
10 ambulance responding to the scene, however, did not arrive for 21 minutes. The efforts of Mr.
I I Turner and Mr. Olson helped to save Mr. Debby's life.
12 Chief Johnson presented Mr. Turner and Mr. Olson each with a Certificate of Appreciation.
13 Mayor Ranallo thanked Mr. Turner and Mr. Olson. Counc itmember Faust congratulated the two
14 men.
15
16 B. Parks Task Force ReRort.
17 Bob Kost, BRW, Inc., reported that for the past ten months,the Parks Task Force has been
18 c.onvehing monthly to look at the overall park system in the City of St. Anthony with the primary
19 focus of redevelopment efforts in Central Park. He noted that the Task Force members have
20 brought a lot of energy and shared visions of a playground and park that will serve both active
21 and passive needs.
22 Mr. Kost displayed a conceptual design of the proposal for redevelopment of Central Park. He
23 explained that there will be a sidewalk along 33'Avenue that will extend to the comer at Silver
24 Lake Road. Adjacent to the drainage area will be a seating area that will provide a place for rest
25 and conversation with benches and flowers. There will be a sidewalk along the tennis courts
26 from Silver Lake Road back to the parking lot and a sidewalk on the south side of the tennis
27 courts. The plan includes a new multi-age play area located near the water tower and placed in
28 conjunction with the existing trees with$100,000 - $150,000 of new equipment and resurfacing.
29 There will be a trail between the high school and the water tower. This trail will go throughout
30 the entire park and will provide access in and out of the park while other activities are occurring.
31 The plan includes a new full-size basketball court, and the area to the north will be the future
32 location of a performance center. The high embankment would be graded down to allow the
33 installation of 4 new full-size ballfields with multipurpose outfields for football or soccer use.
34 There will be a concession area and satellite bathroom facilities. The hockey arena will be
35 reinstalled and there will be a small ice skating rink. A new play area designed for 3 - 6 year
36 olds for community service will be installed next to the Community Center. There will be a
37 playground area installed on the north portion of the property and the.wetland area will be used
38 in conjunction with Storm Water Task Force recommendations. The wading pool will remain
39 and the sledding hill will be regraded and retained.

1 Mr. Kost stated this is an ambitious long-range plan. The entire cost of the plan is $710,000 -
2 $720,000. The Parks Task Force is recommending that the multi-age playgrgund be installed as
3 a first phase. This project could be installed without interrupting other facilities in the park. The
4 Task Force is recommending that ftind-raising be initiated to help defer the costs.
5 Mr. Kost stated the Task Force is also recommending the establishment of a full-time Park
6 Commission.
7 Mayor Ranallo asked if the reason that no plans were included for the other parks was due to the
8 water issue.
9 Mr. Kost stated that is the primary reason. The other reason is that given the nature of the task
10 and all the issues with Central Park, there was not time to give the other parks the consideration
I I they deserved.
12 Mayor Ranallo noted that the other parks in the City would not be forgotten. Those parks may
13 have to be lowered due to the water issue and they will be reexamined at that time.
14 Mr. Kost noted BRW's recommendations for Silver Point and Emerald Park are included in the
Comprehensive Plan Update.
16 Faust complimented the Task Force on their good work. He then' questioned the size of the
17 ballfields and the appearance of the satellites. He also asked if the $720,000 figure included the
18 entire plan with the exception of the bandshell.
19 Mr. Kost stated the ballfields will be full-size with a 300 foot outfield. The satellites will be
20 similar to those'located at Lake Harriet, Lake Calhoun and Theodore Wirth Park. They will be
21 enclosed on three sides and will be located on a concrete pad. The cost of the performance center
22 is not included in the estimated cost and could cost $10,000 or more depending on the design.
23 Thuesen asked if the ballfields would be lit.
24 Mr. Kost explained that there had been a lot of discussion on this issue. It was determined that
25 the placing of the lights would detract from the flexibility to allow multi-fiinction fields and
26 should not be installed.
27 Carol Jindra, 3001 Hilldale Avenue NE, stated she is a life-long resident of St. Anthony and this
28 project is very near and dear to her heart. She asked that the Council consid*er installing the
29 multi-age play area now, as the residents have waited long enough to have good play facilities
30 for children ages 6 - 14. She suggested that an open house event be held for the entire
community. The various vendors could attend and the community could vote and give their
input on the parks. This event may also be a catalyst for fund-raising.

April 28, 1998

I Ms. Jindra complimented the work done by Mr. Kost. She noted the Task Force had worked
2 hard to look at active and passive activities in the park. She stated she would like the process to
3 continue with Silver Point and Emerald Park.
4 Mayor Ranallo stated the open house was an excellent idea. He suggested maps be laid out and a
5 brief meeting be held to obtain the resident's input.
6 Lance Johnson, 3500 - 31"Avenue NTE, stated he was grateful to seethe plan. Histwosonswill
7 not play at the playgrounds in St. Anthony because they are boring. He supported the multi-age
8 playground being a part of the first phase of redevelopment. He thanked the members of the
9 Task Force for donating their time. Even though he lives on the south side of town, he did not
10 feel slighted that Central Park was being redeveloped before the other parks. He noted that
I I Silver Point Park may be used for run-off and suggested that the old Country Market site be used
12 instead.
13 Mayor Ranallo asked if the project could be divided into three or four phases and how much the
14 multi-age playground would cost to construct.
15 Mr. Kost estimated that the multi-age pay area would cost approximately $150,000.
16 Thuesen stated he had spoken with a person who worked with the Castle Heights project in
17 Columbia Heights which was built with 100%volunteer labor and 100%donations. Although
18 the process is not easy and requires a lot of hard work from the whole community, it can be
19 accomplished.
20 Mr. Kost stated the Task Force had spent a lot of time discussing financing. The playground
21 under the water tower makes the most sense for the first phase. As the project moves north, one
22 improvement will affect the other and it will become more difficult. Mr. Kost estimated that the
23 project could be done in three phases.
24 Cavanaugh stated his initial impression was disappointment. He had thought that.a solid plan of
25 implementation would be presented this evening with dollar figures and priorities for the parks.
26 He had-a sense that there was an urgency to this issue and he did not feel that urgency being
27 resolved in this presentation.
28 Thuesen stated that as a representative of the Task Force, his impression was that their task was
29 to provide a nice overall plan of what the community would like as a potential for the final
30 product. A Park Commission would now be established and would move the plan forward. He
31 noted there is a lot of uncertainty with funding. The City Staff has been focusing their efforts on
32 the flooding issue and the parks were second to that issue.
33 Marks noted that this park plan is very multi-generational. It will provide facilities for childhood
34 ages to people of advanced ages. Not only will this be the geographical center of town but it will
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
April 28, 1998
Page 6
also be the meeting center of town. This plan captures what the community was looking for. He
2 noted the flood relief issue had more specific matters.in regard to funding that could be carried
3 out. The parks are not so clear. Marks stated he would like the City to have an overall plan to
4 send to the Park Commission that the Council would like to implement the proposed plan for
5 Central Park and would like it to be completed in 3 -4 years. The Parks Commission can then
6 develop a phasing plan and determine means of funding.
7 Mr. Kost stated the project could be completed in approximately 2 years if the City had the
8 necessary funds.
9 Faust stated that$1.5 million is being raised for the water issue by increasing the Storm Water
10 contribution to $13 per quarter. He noted that$750,000 could be raised by increasing the fee by
11 $6.50.
12 Cavanaugh stated that$750,000 is not a lot of money. He would like to see the plan broken into
13 three phases with a specific agenda.
14 Faust stated the Task Force had not been charged with developing a specific agenda and
15 determining the funding.
Mayor Ranallo stated the Task Force had done exactly what it was asked to do. It is the City's
17 responsibility to determine funding sources. He-questioned where the children would play if all
18 three parks were under construction at the same time.
19 Ms. Jindra stated she agreed that the flooding issue had been more important than the parks. She
20 asked the Council to move forward on some part of the plan to show the community they are
21 serious and help the community to get excited. Some type of City action would also help with
22 the grant process. She stated there are a number of corporations that would match City money
23 for the parks.
24 Mayor Ranallo expressed his support of involving the community. Fund-raising could be
25 investigated and possibly some of the cost would need to be put on the tax roll.
26 Ms. Jindra expressed concern with fanding the park improvements with taxation. She stated the
27 young people who can really use this park may not be able to afford additional taxes.
28 Cavanaugh noted that all the feasibility work has been completed and asked if the Council could
29 authorize funds to progress to the next design stage.
30 Mr. Kost stated it would be beneficial to obtain a physical survey of Central Park. A plan could
then be drafted of how this project would progress from beginning to.end. The physical survey
could be completed within 2 weeks and a map created within 24 days. Physical boring data

April 28, 1998
Page 7
I would need to be obtained. The project could then progress to the schematic design stage. This
2 would typically cost 8% - 9%of construction costs.
.3 Mayor Ranallo suggested a community meeting be scheduled for June 2, 1998'. '
4 Marks recommended the Council direct City Manager to draft an ordinance based on the
5 recommendations for the establishment of a Park Commission.
6 Cavanaugh noted the restrooms at Central Park are inadequate and asked that temporary satellite
7 be installed.
8 George Wagner, a member of the Parks Task Force, stated the Task Force had been charged with
9 developing a concept plan for Central Park. He thanked Mr. Kost for his guidance on this effort
10 and stated this could not have been accomplished without his strong support. He suggested a
I I Park Commission be established immediately to continue the work that the Task Force has done.
12 Morrison stated the timing of a community meeting on June 2 will work well as the Storm Water
13 Task Force will be meeting on May 13 and presenting a report to Council on May 26. He
14 suggested a member of WSB attend this community meeting. He stated that one reason there
15 was not.a deadline on Central Park is that the other two neighborhood parks will be taken out of
I.6 service in 1999 and 2000. He questioned if the community will want all'three parks out of
17 service at the same time.
18 Mayor Ranallo thanked the members of the Task Force for volunteering and for the amount of
19 give and take which occurred during this process.
20 C. Fire Department 1997 Annual Report.
21 Fire Chief Dick Johnson noted the City of St. Anthony Fire Department 1997 Annual Report and
22 stated a copy is filed at the public library, City Hall and the Fire Department.
23 Chief Johnson stated that personnel is the key to a�successful outcome. There are currently 25
24. members-of the Fire Department and he is in the process of hiring 5 more part-time members.
25 Each firefighter goes through 200-245 hours of training and most do so without pay. It is quite a
26 sacrifice and these members are key to the operation.
27 Chief Johnson noted the Equipment Inventory on Pages 2-3 of the report. This provides an idea
28 of the capability of each piece of equipment.
29 Chief Johnson reported that the Fire Department responded to 708 emergency calls during 1997.
30 The fire loss was $1.60 per capita opposed to $35 statewide. Medical constituted 70% of the
31 calls in 1997 which is consistent with past years. The average age of patient in 1997 was 67
32 years which increased from 64 years in 1996. The total fire loss was $12,475 and a total of 474
33 patients were treated.

Chief Johnson noted the distribution of emergency calls. He reported that 500 of the calls
2 responded to-the area north of 291h Avenue., 121 of these calls were to the nursing home and
3 Chandler Place. The amount of calls between 291h Avenue and 37'Avenue has increased.
4 significantly. 10 calls were responded to in Roseville with one-half of these calls responding to
5 car accidents at Highway 88 and County Road C-2. In response to questions raised by resident
6 Tom Nelson at a recent Council Meeting, Johnson stated that a County-wide program is in place
7 which requires the Fire Department to respond to critical cases only at care facilities with trained
8 staff.
9 Chief Johnson noted the amount of emergency runs continues to increase with a new plateau of
10 700 calls per year. The major increase is in medical calls and is consistent throughout the
I I metropolitan area. Johnson noted it is cost effective to use existing resources to meet the greater
12 demand. Seven members of the Fire Department are full-time and they all respond to medical
13 calls. 50%of the volunteers also respond to medicals.
14 Chief Johnson reported the median age of patients in 1997 was 75 years old. He noted there has
15 been an increase in pediatric cases.
16 Chief Johnson noted the loss per fire for the years 1992 through 1996 which was compiled from
State Fire Marshal statistics. In terms of fire protection costs per capita, the State of Minnesota
ranks#41 in the nation.
19 Marks stated it would be interesting to obtain similar data based on a per capita basis.
20 Chief Johnson noted the Out-of-Station activities report. He noted that the Code Enforcement
21 listed for 1997 includes only the Fire Code Enforcement. The 1998 report will include City
22 Code Enforcement.
23 Chief Johnson noted Training Report and Statistics. The Fire Department consists of 1
24 paramedic, 14 EMT's and 10 first responders. The minimum requirement for full-time EMT's is
25 110 hours and the requirement for First Responders is 40 hours.
26 Mayor Ranallo thanked Chief Johnson for the presentation. He asked that the Chief convey the
27 Council's appreciation to all members of the Fire Department, Reserves, and Part-time members,
28 for the job that they do.
29 D. Councilmembers.
30 Thuesen reported his attendance at a Minnesota Finance Workshop for Elected Officials. Good
31 information was presented which dealt with understanding the City's Financial Program and
32 financial policy decisions typically made by the City Council. He stated this was a worthwhile
workshop that provided information which will be useful to him when discussing the budget.

I I impression.
12 Faust reminded that the City Clean-up Day is scheduled for Saturday, May 2, 1998 from 9:00
13 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
14 Faust presented literature with regard to a Juvenile Correction Program at Camp Ripley which
15 was approved by the Legislature last year, for children ages 11 - 14 years,old.
16 Marks reported that the final Parks Task Force meeting was interesting and inspiring. It was a
17 culmination of ideas, enthusiasm and vision of the people gathered together.
18 Marks reported the Sister City visit was a success. He thanked the many people who helped.
19 Many friends were made and the final concert was exciting with Finlandia being played together
20 by the Salo Band and the St. Anthony Orchestra. The Salo Band performed at the High School
21 and Wilshire Park.
22 Mayor Ranallo noted that many people complimented the Public Works Department for their
23 work in setting up the various events.
Cavanaugh stated the Sister City event was fun.- His family had four people and a host family at
25 his home. It was nice to learn about the history and also to meet the host family. -
26 Cavanaugh reminded that the Volunteer Dinner will be held on Saturday, May 2, 1998 at 6:00
27 p.m. Over 200 people will be in attendance at this event.

5 F. Cily Manager.
6 Morrison reported Management Assistant and the Public Works Director have been doing a lot of
7 organizing for the Clean-up Day to be held on Saturday and Faust will represent the Council at
8 the event. Six Kiwanis members will also be on hand to help.
9 Morrison reported the Water Tower Study Report and the MSA sidewalk improvement plan will
10 be presented at the May 12, 1998, Council Meeting. Mark Fladden, Risk Manager for the City,
will also be in attendance at that meeting to review renewal of insurance.
12 Mayor Ranallo asked if the City would be receiving a dividend on their insurance this year.
c
13 Morrison stated the City is in a self-insurance pool through the League of Minnesota Cities with
14 other cities, for the liability portion of their insurance. Last year a reftind of premium was given
15 based on the amount of injuries incurred. This year the City will also receive a dividend on the
16 worker's compensation policy. There will also be a reduction on the liquor portion of insurance
this year.
18 Morrison reported the School Board approved the additional fimds for the new play equipment
19 for Community Services.
20 Morrison reported the survey questions have been placed in Councilmember's boxes. The
21 questions listed are basically the questions suggested by Council. The survey will begin in June.
22 Morrison reported his attendance-at a meeting with representatives of WSB and the DNR. It
23 appears that the City may receive $2.6 million in grant money rather than the original $2 million.
24 Apparently some of the other cities that had requested ftinds have received ftinding from other
25 sources. WSB has been directed to develop a plan by which the City will spend $5.2 million(as
26' this is a matching grant). Options'for the grant money include street improvements and park
27 improvements.

4 Cavanaugh questioned the issue of the necessity of buying all five of the homes suggested to
5 received ftinding.
6 Morrison noted that WSB has stated that in order to make the flood protection the most effective,
7 all five homes will have to be purchased. He reported that FEMA has not yet notified the City if
8 they will receive the grant money. The City does have funds from Hennepin County and
9 Morrison recommended those funds be used this year.
