13 the petitioner the current comprehensive sign plan does not provide sufficient flexibility for sign

2 a project overview noting that this project is the first to be done under the new planning
3 ordinance. He explained that they stopped at the point of articulating design principles and
4 obj ectives.
5
6 Mr. Shardlow reviewed the goals of the project noting that the intent is to redevelop a vacant
7 market-obsolete facility. He noted that this is a very important project and explained the City
8 Council's commitment to encourage and include community involvement throughout the
9 process. He stated that it is very important to the community that the water quality is improved
10 in Silver Lake through this process. He stated that throughout the planning process they were
11 able to determine ways to improve the water quality from the runoff as it occurred.
12
13 Mr. Shardlow explained that as part of the process the City appointed a 26-member Committee
14 that is comprised of a variety of members from the community. He explained that the role of the
15 Steering Committee was to provide a broad cross section of individuals from the community.
16 He reviewed the Master Framework Plan with the Commission noting that the committee wanted
17 to be sure that there was a comprehensive summary. He stated that the City began the
18 development selection process and that after reviewing several proposals they choose to the
19 Pratt-Ordway team.
20
21 Mr. Shardlow stated that it is important to note that the planning development is consistent with
22 the City's Comprehensive Plan and reviewed with the Commission. He reviewed the new land
23 use designation and provided an overview of what it would provide for the project.
24
25 He explained the Purpose section of the Planned Unit Development ordinance to the
26 Commission noting that all documents, exhibits and agreements would be recorded. He further
27 explained that this would become the standard that would govern this property going forward.
28 He stated that the PUD ordinance identifies three stages in the development process noting that
29 the proposal submitted for their review is consistent with the level of detail required for the
30 planning development stage. He clarified that the Commission would not be taking any action at
31 this time.
32
33 Mr. Shardlow explained that the Sketch Plan review is the first step in the process noting that the
34 Preliminary Development Plan coincides with the Preliminary Development Plat and that the
35 Final Development Plan coincides with the Final Development Plat. He stated that the developer
36 would like to have approval of the Preliminary Development Plan before the closing on the
37 property, which is scheduled for September 30.
38
39 Chair Melsha clarified the approval process and what they would be approving noting that this
40 would form the basis of the final agreement. Mr. Shardlow confirmed and explained that when
41 it is approved it would create a binding contract between the City and the developer and
42 reviewed with the Commission. He assured the Commission that all exhibits would be attached
43 to the contract noting that they could attach any other conditions of approval going forward.
44
45 Mr. Shardlow stated that two meetings on the planning documents will be held; the first on
46 August 26, 2003 which is a concept review by the City Council and the second on September 16,

3
4 Mr. Shardlow reviewed the Design Framework Manual and intent with the Commission. He
5 stated that the manual would also be included and recorded noting that it could be used for future
6 reference as they add to the development.
7
8 Mr. Shardlow reviewed the examples in the Design Framework Manual with the Commission.
9 He referenced page 10 stating that it provides a good summary of how the basic land uses fit on
10 the site. He reviewed the access, circulation and road functions for each road with the
11 Commission. He identified the preliminary location for transit stops noting that they might add
12 additional stops in the future. He stated that this would be studied in more detail. He reviewed
13 the sidewalk installations and the connections to the park with the Commission. He provided an
14 overview of the current park design for the Commission noting that the existing stormwater pond
15 would be expanded. He stated that they would also create an additional pond and reviewed the
16 proposed location with the Commission. He stated that water quality is a priority concern for the
17 community and that presently all drainage from the roofs and parking lots would flow into the
18 ponds. He stated that the size of the ponds meet the Rice Creek Watershed District standards.
19 He reviewed the water treatment process with the Commission.
20
21 Mr. Shardlow reviewed the Preliminary Development Plan with the Commission stating that the
22 project would require a very substantial commitment to landscaping. He reviewed the
23 preliminary landscaping requirements with the Commission noting that park improvements would
24 also include asphalt and concrete trails.
25
26 Chair Melsha clarified that they do not plan on doing anything with the three existing businesses
27 along Silver Lake Road. Mr. Shardlow confirmed that the three businesses identified have not
28 been incorporated into the development plan. He referenced a summary page of the project that
29 includes and identifies what businesses would stay and which ones would go.
30
31 Commissioner Hanson stated that he was a member of the Steering Committee. He reviewed
32 their discussions regarding the amount of retail on the site and noted that they are working with an
33 additional 800 square feet of retail and asked Mr. Shardlow how this site could handle the
34 proposed amount of retail. Mr. Shardlow stated that this is a good site for discount retail and that
35 there are several who are interested in the location. He stated that the study has been revised and
36 that he would provide a copy for the Commission's review.
37
38 Vice Chair Stille referenced the parking,noting that nothing has been presented yet, and asked if
39 there would be enough parking in some of the areas. Mr. Shardlow stated that the ordinance
40 requires 5.5 spaces per thousand adding that the Commission should keep in mind that they are
41 looking to attract sit down restaurants along the area. He stated that Miles Lindberg revised the
42 site plan at the request of the discount retailers to ensure that there were 5.5 spaces per thousand.
43
44 Vice Chair Stille stated that it was his understanding that the buildings would be placed towards
45 Silver Lake Road versus the parking area and asked for further clarification. Mr. Shardlow
46 explained that they have had several discussions regarding placement of the buildings and the
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes
August 19, 2003
Page 5
1 parking area noting that this configuration was not their first choice. He further explained that
2 the developer convinced them, that this configuration was the only way to market the site.
3
4 Commissioner Hanson expressed concerns regarding access to the site noting 39`h at Silver Lake
5 Road. He clarified that his concern is that they did not have left turn lanes and that it appears
6 that they do not have enough room. He asked Mr. Shardlow what would control the traffic
7 access. Mr. Shardlow stated that the City and County would review access to the site. He stated
8 that they would present information as it becomes available from study.
9
10 Commissioner Stromgren asked if more detail on the building features is available. He noted
11 that the parkland would be extended and asked if there would be any consideration for a
12 connection to the Three Rivers Park. Mr. Shardlow explained that there would not be a
13 connection due to the residential areas. He further explained that they are considering access via
14 Silver Lake Road.
15
16 Commissioner Stromgren asked for further clarification of the water quality issue. Mr. Shardlow
17 explained that they are working with the Watershed and that they have a good understanding of
18 the standards and requirements. He stated that a fair amount of the site is not being treated at
19 this time noting that it would be part of the treatment process upon completion of the project. He
20 reviewed the treatment process with the Commission.
21
22 Commissioner Hanson asked for clarification of the City contribution and Associate contribution
23 for the overall project. Mr. Shardlow stated that he met with City Financial Consultants and
24 reviewed the negotiated agreement with the Commission. He explained that it would protect the
25 City and that it would be a `pay as you go' tax increment throughout the project. He further
26 explained that the City would not be issuing any bonds and that they are in the process of
27 seeking another livable community grant to assist with the park.
28
29 Commissioner Steeves asked for clarification of the phasing process of the project. Mr.
30 Shardlow explained that the properties located to the west have not been purchased yet. He
31 explained that Phase 1 would include all bank owned and City owned property along Stinson and
32 reviewed with the Commission. He stated that the City is not in a position to give final
33 development approval until the developer has control of the property.
34
35 Commissioner Hanson asked if Phase 1 would be mostly retail. Mr. Shardlow clarified that
36 Phase 1 would be a combination of retail and housing. He noted that the developer has entered
37 into a purchase agreement to purchase the Cub store and reviewed the agreement with the
38 Commission.
39
40 Ms. Hall clarified that they would be recommending approval of the final plan and plat for retail
41 only, not housing, at the September 16, 2003 public hearing. Mr. Shardlow confirmed.
42
43 Len Pratt, Developer, Pratt/Ordway, stated that the entire team is present and available for
44 questions. He stated that based on feedback from residents in the community, they are
45 considering retail, restaurants, walking areas, parking and a Central Park feature. He explained
46 that the first piece for consideration is the retail/office component and reviewed with the
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes
August 19, 2003
Page 6
1 Commission. He introduced his team to the Commission noting members from the Robert Muir
2 Company,Dominium, Inc, Hunt Associates, URS and KKE Architects.
3
4 Kathy Anderson, KKE, reviewed the parking issues,the importance of establishing a brand
5 identity that would draw attention to something new and upscale, the monument signs, the
6 walking areas and materials with the Commission. She explained that they would add diagonal
.7 parking versus parallel parking, as it would allow more parking at the front of the stores. She
8 stated that because of the large variety of materials that would be used throughout the
9 development they would be working very closely with the housing development and retail to
10 determine how each would fit in with the overall design.
11
12 Miles Lindberg,URS, reviewed the regional mall model concepts with the Commission. He
13 explained that part of the reason the parking field is oriented to the east side of the building is
14 because it does generate traffic and reviewed with the Commission. He stated that they are
15 trying to balance the traffic that would have to use the major access point and organize the
16 access so that there are alternatives to get in and out without creating too many conflicts. He
17 reviewed the materials and landscaping with the Commission.
18
19 Mr. Pratt encouraged the Commission to consider the evolving walking areas. He stated that he
20 has been a national judge for Smart Growth and Urbanization Projects for the last three years
21 and that through his experience he has seen that shops within walking distance to residents has
22 become an important issue when deciding to move into an area.
23
24 Mr. Pratt noted the concern regarding the relocation of Tires Plus and explained that their effort
25 is to try to accommodate as many of the existing businesses as possible. He further explained
26 that there is not a location, in the proposal, for a car service type business and that Tires Plus
27 would be relocated. He clarified that the relocation is not within this project and reviewed with
28 the Commission.
29
30 Mr. Pratt suggested that the Commission consider a historic connection. He stated that Main
31 Street would be a unique village experience and reviewed with the Commission.
32
33 Chair Melsha stated that it would be helpful if they provided a sketch that shows a view of the
34 parking lot area that includes the landscaping. Ms. Anderson provided the Commission with an
35 overview of the parking area as it looks along Silver Lake Road.
36
37 Commissioner Hanson noted the importance of phasing and asked how much occupancy has to
38 be filled in the retail area before moving to the residential phase. Mr. Pratt clarified that this
39 project is not going to be phased. He explained the process to the Commission stating that they
40 have the financial strength to put it all up at the same time.
41
42 Gary Vogel, BKV Group, reviewed the site plan with the Commission. He introduced Mark
43 Morehouse and Karen Dombrowski, Dominion Acquisition to the Commission. He stated that
44 they would incorporate the landscaping and design into the housing area. He explained that the
45 proposal calls for 64 townhome units and that it is their hope to have side-by-side townhomes
46 that would include four different styles and reviewed the proposed styles with the Commission.
47 He reviewed the access points and green areas on the site with the Commission. He
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes
August 19, 2003
Page 7
1 acknowledged'Vice Chair Stille's concerns regarding the parking stating that 60% of the parking
2 would be underground and would also include above ground parking sprinkled throughout the
3 site. He stated that the apartment building would have 220 units and reviewed with
4 Commission. He reviewed the extension of the Central Park area, the clubhouse and north
5 elevation with the Commission. He referenced the materials stating that they would use similar
6 bricking and stucco materials as what would be on the retail buildings.
7
8 Mr. Pratt encouraged the Commission to visit various urban developments that Pratt-Ordway and
9 other developers on his team have been involved with in order to get an idea of how these units
10 mix together. He stated that they are very aware of the need for senior housing and reviewed
11 with the Commission.
12
13 Commissioner Hanson stated that affordable housing in the Village is a concern and asked what
14 is being done to address this concern at this site. Mr. Morehouse explained that they are working
15 with the Metropolitan Council in order to define the type of housing that would meet with the
16 Metropolitan Council guidelines. He stated that they would continue to work with all
17 organizations that have an interest.
18
19 Vice Chair Stille referenced the entrance on 39`h Avenue at the west side of the site noting that in
20 June, the site plan had a softer approach with respect to where an entrance monument would be
21 placed and asked for further clarification. Mr. Pratt reviewed the changes in the road stating that
22 they stressed in the design that this would be included in the next phase/approvals of the site
23 plan. He explained that part of the curve in the road that was removed, could reappear as they
24 get into the final design. Mr. Shardlow pointed out that Stinson Boulevard is a shared boulevard
25 with Columbia Heights. He stated that Columbia Heights is planning a redevelopment in that
26 area and that they are working with them to determine if the original plan would work moving
27 forward. He explained to the Commission that the plan would evolve and change throughout
28 this process.
29
30 Mr. Morehouse suggested that the Commission visit some of the sites they have developed and
31 referenced the New Brighton project. He stated that they are currently underway and that there
32 is a model open for tours. Mr. Pratt suggested visiting the Village of Blaine at the same time and
33 suggested sponsoring a tour for the Commission. Chair Melsha stated that the Commission
34 would discuss the possibility of a tour at a later time.
35
36 Mr. Shardlow reiterated that they are currently working with Columbia Heights and that this
37 could be an additional opportunity to service water that runs into Silver Lake and reviewed with
38 the Commission.
39
40 Commissioner Stromgren referenced earlier images of housing styles that drew more on the
41 character of St. Anthony Village, noting that the design process is all very preliminary, he stated
42 that it appears that they have strayed a bit from the original design. He clarified that he is not
43 seeing this as a big problem and expressed concerns that there could be a real disconnect with
44 the character of the surrounding community. Mr. Lindberg suggested that the Commission
45 provide them with an idea of what they would like to include with respect to elements of the
46 design.
47
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes
August 19, 2003
Page 8
1 Commissioner Stromgren suggested that Mr. Lindberg take a drive along the Parkway, 33rd
2 Crestview and Silver Lane to get a feel for the design of the homes in the area. He stated that
3 there is a variety that includes the 1950-60's ramblers and starter mansions that include
4 considerable stone and brick. Mr. Lindberg agreed stating that by clarifying the specific
5 elements of each design they would like to incorporate would help them create the image they
6 are after.
7
8 Commissioner Hanson asked at what point in the project did they review and determine that
9 retail would work in this area. He noted that the initial proposal was only for housing. Mr. Pratt
10 explained that the acquisition of a mall, the restrictive cross easements, the cost of providing the
11 infrastructure, the storm ponding and relocation of people all had an impact on their decision to
12 incorporate discount and more retail into the plan. He reviewed the redevelopment process and
13 concepts of suburban areas with the Commission.
14
15 Vice Chair Stille referenced the name, Village of St. Anthony and expressed concerns that the
16 naming could cause confusion with respect to their location. He stated that he lives in St.
17 Anthony Village and when you just say St. Anthony it raises the question of location. He
18 referenced other locations that add to the confusion, the Village of St. Anthony, St. Anthony
19 Main, St. Anthony Park, St. Anthony Village and the proposed Village at St. Anthony. He stated
20 that this gives the impression of a `new' location. He stated that they have their own brand and
21 that is that they live in the Village and that being a resident, he is struggling with the concept.
22 He encouraged them to consider this issue as they move forward in the planning process. Mr.
23 Pratt stated that they have discussed the naming issue as a group noting that it is a subjective
24 issue, open for discussion. Chair Melsha stated that one of the local features of this area is the
25 lake and suggested that they take that into consideration as a possible connection when
26 considering the naming.
27
28 Mr. Pratt stated that they have been in ongoing negotiations with the owners of the Cub Foods
29 store noting that they recently completed the negotiations to purchase the store, in partnership
30 with the Robert Muir Company. He stated that in an effort to determine how they can be good
31 neighbors and meld it together so it works, Terry Kingston, Officer of SBT, LCC is present to
32 announce the agreement.
33
34 Terry Kingston, Officer of SBT, LLC, announced to the Commission that Cub Foods has agreed
35 to enter into a purchase agreement and advised the Commission that a resolution concerning this
36 is being reviewed by the City Attorney to be presented to City Council for approval at the
37 August 26, 2003 City Council meeting. He reviewed the agreement with the Commission.
38
39 Ms. Hall asked if the Commission was interested in scheduling a workshop to discuss the
40 planning issues prior to the public hearing. Mr. Shardlow stated that he is willing to do a
41 workshop between now and the public hearing to review any concerns. He stated that he could
42 put together a map of the developments for the Commission to review and tour.
43
44 Vice Chair Stille suggested providing the Commission with a list of the developments and
45 suggested that each could visit the developments as they have time versus a scheduled tour. Mr.
46 Pratt stated that if the Commission would let them know when they are coming they could have
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes
August 19, 2003
Page 9
1 a representative meet with them and provide a tour through the area. He suggested coordinating
2 the tour through Ms. Hall.
3
4 Chair Melsha suggested that if someone wants a more detailed tour to contact Ms. Hall to
5 coordinate a schedule. Ms. Hall asked if the Commission would like to schedule a workshop.
6 Chair Melsha stated that a workshop was not necessary due to Mr. Shardlow's presence at the
7 meeting.
8
9 Peter Beck, Apache Medical Building, expressed his support of the project noting that he has
10 been following the process closely. He expressed concerns regarding the potential impact the
11 project could have on the medical building. He stated that at one point in the planning process
12 they were a part of the project adding that they are no longer included in the project. He
13 explained that their major concern is the curving of the road as the plan shows that the easement
14 would be closed and asked for clarification. He stated that they plan now to do some work to
15 make the building a mixed use building. They plan to come forward with recommendations for
16 upgrading the medical building so that the building conforms and fits with the design of the area.
17 Mr. Pratt stated that access of the easement would be the same as what exists now.
18
19 Mr. Beck stated that he is very comfortable and pleased with the plan they reviewed this
20 evening. He asked if they could purchase or have access to the Design Framework Manual so
21 that as they move forward they can work with the designs and materials that would allow them
22 to be compatible.
23
24 9.2 Discuss Opinion Signs
25
26 Susan Hall stated that earlier this year the topic of opinion signs came up for discussion. She
27 referenced a letter from City Attorney Jerry Gilligan and provided a copy for the Commission to
28 review. She explained that City Attorney Gilligan reiterated that while the City can regulate
29 opinion signs by providing restrictions on the size, location, number of signs, the City cannot
30 totally prohibit opinion signs or regulate the message. She further explained that Mr. Gilligan
31 also stated that the City could possibly ban offensive content, such as profanity, from opinion
32 signs but that is as far as the City should go. She stated that any limitations beyond the items
33 outlined would be considered an infringement on freedom of speech rights. She stated that
34 Mr. Gilligan agreed that it would make sense to address the opinion sign issue and consider an
35 amendment to the City's sign ordinance, as opinion signs are not explicitly defined. She stated
36 that City Staff reviewed the New Brighton ordinance and found that they do not specifically
37 address opinion signs in residential areas. She explained that New Brighton staff said that it has
38 been City policy to treat opinion signs the same as election signs and reviewed with the
39 Commission. She mentioned that staff recommends that the Planning Commission discuss
40 the appropriate zoning parameters for opinion signs and address the language in the sign
41 ordinance pertaining to political signs and touch base with City Council with a recommendation.
42
43 Chair Melsha noted that the City of New Brighton has a commercial and political sign definition
44 but nothing that addresses opinion signs. He suggested tweaking the definitions to include
45 opinion signs in St. Anthony's sign ordinance.
46

1 Vice Chair Stille wondered what the City could require in this area and noted that it references
2 the City's ability to monitor the aesthetics and ensure that it is pleasing, which includes signs
3 that are in disrepair.
4
5 Commissioner Stromgren noted that part of the problem could be enforcement issues. He
6 suggested re-writing the ordinance and reviewing the setbacks.
7
8 Ms. Hall stated that in terms of homemade signs, Mr. Gilligan did not feel comfortable that the
9 City could ban or restrict them.
10
11 Vice Chair Stille stated that Edina's code addresses indecent signs and reviewed the definitions
12 with the Commission.
13
14 Chair Melsha suggested a two or three person subcommittee to review and consider a
15 recommendation. Vice Chair Stille agreed to be on the subcommittee and suggested discussing

26 Commission to begin the process of amending the ordinance, if necessary, so the City can
27 determine the need for future parking variances. He asked Ms. Hall if she could, over the next

MEMORANDUM
DATE: 09/09/03 MEETING DATE: 09/16/03
TO: Planning Commission Members
FROM: Susan M.H. Hall, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: Northgate Office Park Ground Sign
Requested Action:
Northgate Office Park, located at 2500 Highway 88, has submitted a sign variance
request for a proposed ground sign. The variance request is for a three-foot setback
variance to allow for a 12-foot setback from the roadway.
Background:
In July, the applicant proposed a, pylon sign for the front of their building. At that time,
the applicant also presented other variance requests. In July, the City Council denied
the application because it veered too far from the City's sign ordinance.
This time, the applicant is returning to the City with an application for a ground sign and
is asking for one variance for a three-foot setback variance from the roadway to allow
for a 12-foot setback. The variance request is necessary because city ordinance states
that ground signs be located at least 15 feet from any street or other easement. The
applicant states this setback is from the east property line and is necessary so the sign
does not interfere with traffic flow.
The applicant states that no further signage are proposed is the foreseeable future and
the unsightly former drive up teller, which occupied 'a portion of the lot, has been
removed. City staff sees this as an improvement to the site.
The application states "interior lighting by means of six vertical fluorescent high-output
tubes mounted vertically on twelve-inch centers is proposed. Lighting is anticipated to be
from dusk to midnight." It will need to be clarified if this lighting mentioned is for the
inside of the sign, or what the applicant is referring to.
Finally, the applicant states landscaping will be essentially unchanged except for the
addition of small shrubs or bushes around the base of the sign support. On the current
sign plan, landscaping is not shown. The City will require a landscape plan prior to
building permit approval. Ground signs must be landscaped. Landscaping may consist
of shrubs, plants, rocks, or other decorative materials located around the pedestal. On
the last plan, the applicant proposed minimal landscaping. The petitioners' showed the
proposed sign with a shrub, evergreen tree, and decorative rock distanced a part from
the sign. The idea is the landscaping should surround the base of the ground.sign.
Page 2 — Northgate Office Park Ground Sign
Staff Recommendation:
The applicant has presented a ground sign that is aesthetically pleasing and meets city
ordinance requirements. Staff recommends approval of the variance request with the
following condition:
Prior to building permit approval, the applicant will submit a landscaping plan for
the ground sign.

Re: Sign Variance request
Item 1. The proposed sign conforms to all the parameters of the current.sign ordinance except for the

former driveup teller which currently occupies a portion of our lot has been removed.
Lighting: Interior lighting by means of six vertical fluorescent high-output tubes mounted vertically on

Landscaping: Will remain essentially unchanged except for the addition of small shrubs or bushes
around the base of the sign support.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: 09/09/03 MEETING DATE: 09/16/03
TO: Planning Commission Members
FROM: Susan M.H. Hall, Assistant City Manage
SUBJECT: St. Anthony Shopping Center Sign Plan Amendment
Requested Action:
September 16 is the rehearing for the St. Anthony Shopping Center, LLC,
comprehensive sign plan amendment request. On August 19, the Planning Commission
held the initial public hearing on said request. On August 26, the City Council referred
the issue back to the Planning Commission for further study and evaluation. It was
hoped that a compromise could be reached between the St. Anthony Shopping Center
and the City.
Background:
St. Anthony Shopping Center recently signed leases with two tenants that have regional
and national scope: Bumper to Bumper and Subway. According to the petitioner, the
current comprehensive sign plan does not provide sufficient flexibility of sign design to
accommodate regional and national tenants that have logo signage for all their
locations. For this reason, the petitioner has requested an amendment to the St.
Anthony Shopping Center's comprehensive sign plan to allow for logo signs which
deviates from what is currently allowed.
On August 26, the City Council discussed the petitioner's request and overall, made the
determination the proposed logo signage does not fit well into the existing shopping
center sign signage for a consistent look (see minutes attached). It was felt that the
proposed signage should be closer to the original criteria. One concern was the
proposed logo signage is all one piece versus individualized lettering.
One Councilmember's idea for the Subway sign, for instance, was to have individualized
lettering in their styled form. Or in the case of Bumper to Bumper, perhaps a way to
present it might be to have a small logo sign next to the words "Auto Parts" with
individual letters, like the rest of the shopping center. A concern raised by the St.
Anthony Shopping Center owner is how to put criteria, such as this, into a
comprehensive sign plan amendment to cover these tenants and future tenants that
want logo signs. The shopping center owner also asked, will each new tenant that wants
a logo sign need to come in front of the Planning Commission and/or City Council for
approval on a case by case basis. How can you write criteria to cover each possible logo
sign scenario? The other concern for the shopping center is they have a signed lease
with Subway, who has stated they will not go into the Center until their logo signage is
up. Hence, the shopping center owner is asking to expedite matters for this reason.
In July, the petitioner outlined the following criteria for the proposed comprehensive sign
plan amendment:
Page 2 -St. Anthony Shopping Center Sign Plan Amendment
In July, the petitioner outlined the following criteria for the proposed comprehensive sign
plan amendment:
1) The signage is substantial conformance with Tenant's internal sign criteria and
specifications.
2) The total width of the sign shall not exceed 80 percent of the Tenant's storefront
width.
3) The sign height shall be a minimum of 16 inches and maximum or 40 inches.
4) Sign color or colors are those found on typical retail signage in the
Minneapolis/St. Paul area.
5) Tenant submits two drawings for Lessor's written approval prior to fabrication of
signs.
6) Lessor approves Tenant's sign contractor.
The question at this point is how to work in the individual nuances with criteria, such as
stated above, to cover the two new tenants, Subway and Bumper to Bumper, with
possible future tenants in a comprehensive sign plan amendment.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends the Planning Commission work with the St. Anthony Shopping Center
owner to come up with a compromise sign plan amendment for the City Council to
consider at its September 23 meeting.

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

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

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

1 VI. REPORTS FROM COMMISSIONS AND STAFF.
2 A. Planning Commission—August 19, 2003.
3 1. Resolution 03-073, re: St. Anthony hopping Center, 2900 Pentagon Drive;
4 comprehensive sign amendment.
5 Planning Commissioner Todd Hanson noted a public hearing had been held August 19, 2003,
6 regarding the St. Anthony Shopping Center, LLC, request to amend its comprehensive sign plan.
7 He added the Center had recently signed leases with two tenants that had regional and national
8 scope: Bumper to Bumper and Subway. He explained these tenants had developed a logo with
9 uniform signage to promote their stores and gain recognition; however, the current
10 comprehensive sign plan did not provide sufficient flexibility of sign design to accommodate
11 regional and national tenants who had distinctive and uniform signage for all their locations.
12 Commissioner Hanson stated the petitioner was requesting an amendment to the St. Anthony
13 Shopping Center's comprehensive sign plan to allow for logo signs which deviated from what
14 was currently allowed.
15
16 It was noted staff recommended approval of the comprehensive sign plan amendment for the St.
17 Anthony Shopping Center, recognizing the marketplace with logo signs and the need for store
18 recognition.
19
20 Councilmember Horst stated he was involved with the original sign plan, which was meant to
21 keep a consistent, modern appearance to the shopping center. He noted the other tenants had
22 been expected to follow the plan. He indicated he would be disappointed if this sign amendment
23 allowed signs like the current Bumper-to-Bumper sign, as he felt"it stuck out like a garage-sale
24 sign."
25
26 Councilmember Horst noted the national franchises were not locked into only one sign. He
27 discussed ways the signs could be changed to be acceptable. He stated a quality tenant should be
28 expected to have quality signage. Councilmember Horst indicated he was opposed to amending
29 the signage criteria.
30
31 Commissioner Hanson asked a representative of the petitioner, if he had a rebuttal. The
32 representative responded he did know Bumper to Bumper had other criteria they could use;
33 however, he felt the City did not want to place restrictions on good employers who were
34 bringing jobs and businesses to the City. He added he understood examples of signs had been
35 submitted.
36
37 Councilmember Horst indicated the example he had seen was the kind of sign the City had been
38 trying to avoid in the shopping center. He stated he did not want to prohibit tenants but wanted
39 to provide a consistent look to the shopping center. The petitioner's representative responded
40 these were reasonable thoughts; however, he did not think Bumper to Bumper could reengineer
41 its signs for each community.
42
43 Councilmember Horst indicated he felt Bumper to Bumper had a wide range of sign choices.
44 The petitioner noted he would hesitate to put up a lot of barriers to bringing them into the City.
45 He added updated signage that would be more consistent for the Center could be considered.
46
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
August 26, 2003
Page 3
1 Councilmember Faust asked if this was the first sign that would be different from the others.
2 Councilmember Horst responded it was and described the difference between what was
3 acceptable and the sign Bumper to Bumper wanted to use.
4
5 Councilmember Thuesen indicated some businesses were able to custom-make their signs, since
6 other tenants had been expected to stay with what was expected.
7
8 Councilmember Horst noted he had seen catalogs of signs for franchisers to fit the criteria across
9 the country and they would just have to match the criteria with what was in their catalogs.
10
11 Councilmember Thuesen asked Councilmember Horst what his thoughts had been when he
12 opened up his business. Councilmember Horst responded it would have been easier to put up a
13 "canned" sign; however, all the surrounding businesses had been expected to meet the criteria.
14 He restated he did not want to discourage business from coming into the City; however, he felt
15 meeting the criteria would not be a hardship for either Bumper to Bumper or Subway.
16
17 Discussion followed regarding the procedures and time limits involved in having the Planning
18 Commission revisit this issue. City Manager Morrison explained a 60-day extension could be
19 given if Council sent the amendment request back to the Planning Commission.
20
21 Councilmember Horst stated he would recommend sending the amendment request back to the
22 Planning Commission.
23
24 Councilmember Thuesen noted one of the positive things about the shopping center was the
25 uniformity of its signage. He added he wrestled with this issue because he did not want to
26 discourage good businesses;however, he felt Councilmember Horst had made good arguments.
27 Councilmember Thuesen stated he would be comfortable sending this issue back to the Planning
28 Commission.
29
30 Councilmember Horst stated the City could extend the period of time the banner was allowed
31 until the issue was resolved.
32
33 Mayor Hodson agreed. He stated he did not want to put the City in a position where it was
34 discouraging businesses, especially in a shopping center that was in need of improvement. He
35 agreed with moving toward a compromise for the sign.
36
37 City Attorney Gilligan indicated an extension of 60 days should be allowed to consider the
38 resolution.
39
40 Motion by Councilmember Horst to send Resolution 03-073, approving an amendment to the
41 Comprehensive Sign Plan for the St. Anthony Shopping Center, back to the Planning
42 Commission and offering a 60-day extension on the application from St. Anthony Shopping
43 Center, LLC.
44
45 Motion carried unanimously.

1 Commissioner Hanson noted the Apache Plaza project was currently being considered and
2 wondered what would be done with the locally owned businesses and franchise locations. He
3 added he was somewhat disappointed with the decision, as businesses and climates change. He
4 indicated he did obtain good information to bring back to the Planning Commission.
5
6 It was noted the City had been considering many variances recently, and the suggestion was
7 made that research regarding changes should be conducted and recommendations/information
8 given regarding issues such as the number of parking spaces required at restaurants.
9
10 B. Review Northwest Quadrant Planned Unit Development(PUD).
11
12 John Shardlow, DSU, noted the City of St. Anthony Village had begun to proactively pursue a
13 planning process for the redevelopment of the 250-acre Northwest Quadrant of the City. Mr.
14 Shardlow gave a project overview, which included the goals of the planning process; noted the
15 public meeting schedule and milestones; discussed the consistency of the comprehensive plan;
16 explained the Planned Unit Development(PUD); noted the process for PUD review; reviewed
17 the Design Framework Manual.
18
19 Mr. Shardlow explained site drawings from within the Design Framework Manual. He noted the
20 plans included the following: a very strong main street through the center; a strong public open
21 space within the center of the project; strong visual corridors; strong ties to park, which was
22 designed to substantially improve the runoff and would include a high level of amenities,
23 extensive landscaping and a few structures; strong pedestrian trail system; transit improvements.
24
25 Mr. Shardlow indicated the following concerns had been expressed by the Planning
26 Commission: concern the name of the development would cause some confusion; a request for a
27 specific drawing that would show the view directly across the parking lot to the discount store,
28 as the Commission wanted to see what the straight-line view would be; concern that the image
29 and character of the development emulate more directly the surrounding, older neighborhoods.
30 He stated he did not personally share that viewpoint.
31
32 Mr. Shardlow stated the next step was to put together the detailed planning report.
33
34 Councilmember Thuesen asked if access was being planned for those with disabilities or special
35 needs. Mr. Shardlow responded all areas for accessibility would be considered.
36
37 Councilmember Thuesen asked if some thought would go into transit issues, as they related to
38 development, so handicapped accessibility would be addressed. Mr. Shardlow responded it
39 would. Councilmember Thuesen added it was very important there were no barriers in a new
40 development such as this project, as all those issues should be carefully considered.
41
42 Councilmember Thuesen asked about the signage for the project. Mr. Shardlow responded a
43 visual preference survey had been done and the most favorable reaction had been to signage that
44 was unique. He added consistent locations along the fagade would be found, along with a
45 consistent standard for size and types of letters that would be internally illuminated.
46
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
August 26, 2003
Page 5
1 Councilmember Thuesen stated it was not as important to have the same signage as to meet
2 expectations for quality. Mr. Shardlow responded the signage had been thought out in the
3 context of the project.
4
5 Mayor Hodson asked how the sign criteria were set and what templates were available. Mr.
6 Shardlow responded extensive models were available and the development team would be
7 proposing sign criteria.
8
9 Councilmember Sparks asked if noise control was handled in the PUD. Mr. Shardlow responded
10 it would be handled only if there were issues that arose regarding sources of concern. He added
11 site-planning techniques were used to locate loading and service areas.
12
13 Discussion followed regarding potential sources of noise and suggestions for eliminating them.
14 Mr. Shardlow,replied the development team would respond to Council's concerns.
15
16 Councilmember Sparks stated she was concerned about the "sea of parking" that would be in
17 front of the major retailer. She added she was not sure the architectural criteria presented would
18 necessarily maintain the Village character. She noted there were not many windows shown on
19 the plan, even though there was an attempt to break the mass. She indicated she did not feel the
20 design criteria had been pushed on the building.
21
22 Councilmember Sparks stated she had been told the major retailers were not flexible; however,
23 she had found examples of Wal-Mart stores and Target stores that had moved beyond the usual
24 box design. She noted one of the reasons the City had chosen this development team was
25 because of their reputation for originality and aesthetics.
26
27 Mr. Shardlow responded there were limits with what could be done, especially when many cars
28 needed to be accommodated for a major retailer. He added this prototype certainly was not low
29 standard but was custom designed and enhanced,with higher quality building materials and
30 "more of a nod"to the surrounding areas.
31
32 Councilmember Faust asked if Mr. Shardlow recalled discussion with the Planning Commission
33 regarding taking the vast amount of parking,paving half of it and"banking"the rest. Mr.
34 Shardlow responded the term used was "proof of parking,"which meant building less parking
35 now and being able to prove there was ability to build more. He did not know if that would
36 work in this situation.
37
38 Mr. Shardlow noted the development team was present at the meeting and they had been
39 working on this project the past 18 months. He added the"number one"question from residents
40 was if this was really going to happen this time. Mr. Shardlow introduced the members of the
41 team.
42
43 Kathy Anderson, KKE Architects, stated she had been part of the Robert Muir team for many
44 shopping centers. She felt Council could answer some its questions by looking at other premier
45 centers the team had completed. She listed some of those centers and showed images of the
46 prospective plan.
47
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
August 26, 2003
Page 6
1 Mayor Hodson asked about the structure that had the tower form and if that was the beginning of
2 -the boutique shops. Ms. Anderson responded it was, as the first buildings seen were going to be
3 the premier spaces. She discussed the architectural visibility plans to draw in both cars and
4 pedestrians.
5
6 Councilmember Horst asked about parking in the front and back and if all the stores would have
7 a front and back door. Ms. Anderson responded some retailers were against having two
8 entrances; however, it had been done successfully. She added diagonal parking was planned in
9 front of the stores.
10
11 Discussion followed regarding ways to make the facade richer. It was noted the architecture was
12 best viewed from the street because most of the shoppers would be arriving by car.
13
14 Councilmember Sparks indicated many cars would be coming from the south on Silver Lake
15 Road and most would see the major retailer and not the beautiful entrance. She wanted the view
16 for those passing to be consistent.
17
18 Ms. Anderson responded she felt they were dealing with this and discussed the changes in wall
19 space, shadowing, etc. She noted the first thing that would be seen was the landscaping and the
20 buildings were the backdrops.
21
22 Councilmember Horst noted he was concerned about reaching a balance among the costs
23 involved, the building of a high-end product and meeting the needs of the retailer. He added he
24 did like the centers completed by the development team and wanted to make sure the City
25 received the same quality.
26
27 Mr. Shardlow stated the standard to be met would be in force once the City made final decisions
28 regarding the outcome.
29
30 Councilmember Thuesen asked if the City could indicate the quality in standards, during
31 discussions,by using a broad term like"Blaine-type," for example. Mr. Shardlow responded the
32 City would need to be more specific than that.
33
34 Miles Lindberg was introduced as part of the development team specializing as a site planner of
35 retail and mixed-use development. He noted one of the conflicts with this type of development
36 was the noise generated from a retail area that was close to a residential area. He indicated the
37 development team was aware of the problem, even though solutions had yet to be designed. He
38 promised those problems would be solved if they were an issue.
39
40 Councilmember Thuesen asked if the side of the apartment building exposed to noise from a
41 loading dock, for example, could have enhanced soundproofing. Mr. Shardlow responded the
42 team was working on buffering. He added landscaping could also serve as a sound and visual
43 break.
44
45 Mayor Hodson stated noise issues were already present because of the proximity of the railroad
46 and switchyard. He added St. Anthony was a first-ring suburb and the residents had all become
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
August 26, 2003
Page 7
1 accustomed to a certain level of noise. Mr. Lindberg agreed some noise had to be expected
2 because the setting was urban.
3
4 Councilmember Faust stated he did not want the sound issue to be minimized, as the problem
5 could be very irritating and needed to be addressed. Mr. Lindberg replied the team was not
6 trying to skirt the issue; however, they did not have a solution ready for presentation.
7
8 Len Pratt, Pratt-Ordway, discussed planned areas of buffering, explaining some of the buffering
9 caused challenges to visibility and"sense-of-presence"issues. He added the team was doing
10 what it could to meet the challenges; however, he noted there would always be some"edges."
11
12 Mr. Pratt indicated the team had heard Council's questions and had been taking notes. He felt
13 this was a good time for the development team to be listening to the Planning Commission and
14 the City Council.
15
16 Mr. Pratt introduced Gary Vogel, BKB Group in Minneapolis, and Mark Morehouse, Dominion
17 Group, to address the housing portion of the project.
18
19 Mr. Vogel presented Council with the site plan as it related to the housing component and
20 discussed the following information: layout to develop a sequence creating the urban
21 townhomes was in progress; descriptions of the urban townhomes and flats; the parking and
22 traffic movement; layout for the rental building; green area and access to the retail area;parking
23 provided underneath the buildings, which explained the limited parking on the surface; reasons
24 for pedestrian friendliness; 20% of the homes would be considered affordable housing.
25
26 Mr. Pratt presented proposed elevations of the flats, indicating market conditions would produce
27 the final product.
28
29 Mr. Pratt stated the team had heard"loud and clear"that there was a deep demand in the City for
30 individual walkout living, which would be repeated on the floors above. He added they would
31 learn from the first clients, as this was something new.
32
33 Mr. Vogel explained design work was being done to make the units complimentary to each other
34 and to the retail component. He added time would be needed for the full level of detail to be
35 developed.
36
37 Mr. Vogel displayed a site drawing of the side-by-side townhomes and photographic examples
38 of the side-by-side townhomes.
39
40 Mayor Hodson noted the City had been told, in the past, the affordable component was not
41 workable, yet it was said there would be a 15%to 20% affordable component. Mr. Morehouse
42 responded the affordability of the project would be closer to 15% and the team was committed to
43 meeting Met Council guidelines. He added conversations had taken place with the City's staff
44 and fiscal consultants, who indicated there were other funds available to help provide housing.
45
46 Discussion followed regarding formulas to determine affordable housing.
47
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
August 26, 2003
Page 8
1 Councilmember Faust asked if a resident living in affordable housing would be distinguished
2 from a resident who was not. Mr. Morehouse replied the only difference would be in the amount
3 of rent paid. He discussed the income ranges that would qualify.
4
5 Mr. Pratt indicated he had just come back from judging smart growth projects and had seen 24
6 projects from across the country. He stated the projects that came to the top were the ones that
7 had a good solid team and a city that wanted to share in the end result. He agreed the project
8 seemed like a huge undertaking and asked if St. Anthony was willing to take the risk. He added
9 he did not have all the answers; however,he had assembled the best possible team with
10 experience and financial strength.
11
12 Mr. Pratt explained the entire project would go up at once,which would make an immediate
13 impact proving it would really happen.
14
15 Mr. Pratt indicated the team was open to suggestions regarding the name of the development.
16 He noted the Village at St. Anthony was chosen to point out this was happening in St. Anthony
17 Village and not in one of the surrounding cities.
18
19 VII. GENERAL POLICY BUSINESS OF THE COUNCIL.
20 A. Review and approve TERM Sheet.
21 Stacie Kvilvang, Ehlers and Associates, Inc., noted progress had been made in the financing
22 while pushing for final review. She indicated the framework would be presented at the next
23 meeting and public hearings would be held regarding the final terms of agreement. She
24 explained work had been done refining the numbers, along with establishment that the developer
25 was using the same numbers. Ms. Kvilvang reviewed the procedures involved.
26
27 Ms. Kvilvang discussed bringing the housing and commercial components together into a more
28 unified package. She added,between grant requests and park dedication fees, there was a gap in
29 the park development financing. She indicated discussion regarding park development was
30 ongoing, as it was realized this was important for the City. She noted phasing would be
31 considered for that part of the development.
32
33 Ms. Kvilvang explained the concept of fiscal disparities, noting communities could choose to
34 pay within the district or outside the district. She discussed the ramifications of each choice and
35 stated she understood the City wished to use fiscal disparities within the district, if at all
36 possible.
37
38 Ms. Kvilvang stated she anticipated the preliminary TERM sheet would be before Council in
39 two weeks.
40
41 Councilmember Faust stated he was concerned the TERM sheet had not been available for the
42 current meeting. He added, even though this project was anticipated, residents were not going to
43 be jeopardized for its completion. He stated a decision had been made not to go outside the
44 district for the fiscal disparities and that issue needed to be resolved.

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

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

1 Mayor Hodson asked if the need for the additional fees had just surfaced. Mr. Hubmer
2 responded the charges were discussed at the onset of the project and these numbers were
3 suggested as a result of moving through the process. He added the rate change would be applied
4 to development areas throughout the City.
5
6 Ms. Kvilvang stated SAC and WAC had been overestimated and she was not sure there would
7 be a huge fiscal impact.
8
9 City Manager Morrison suggested discussions continue with the development team regarding
10 this issue and it be brought back to Council for review.
11
12 E. Resolution 03-071 re: Award bids for Kenzie Terrace/271h Avenue NE sewer and water
13 improvements.
14 Mr. Hubmer noted a total of two bids were received for this project on August 22, 2003, and
15 were checked for mathematical accuracy and tabulated. He recommended Council consider
16 these bids and award the contract to the low bidder, Thomas and Sons Construction, Inc., in the
17 amount of$480,492.70.
18
19 Councilmember Thuesen asked if there was concern that only two bids were received. Mr.
20 Hubmer responded he did not see a problem with the bidders or the prices received.
21
22 Councilmember Thuesen asked if Council should be uneasy because the bid came in
23 considerably lower than the engineer's estimate. Mr. Hubmer responded they would be involved
24 to make sure things were done "up to standard."
25
26 Mayor Hodson emphasized the City wanted no surprises.
27
28 Motion by Councilmember Thuesen to adopt Resolution 03-071 awarding contract for Kenzie
29 Terrace/27`h Avenue NE sewer and water improvements to Thomas and Sons Construction, Inc.,
30 in the amount of$480,492.70.
31
32 Motion carried unanimously.
33
34 F. Resolution 03-072 re: Accept feasibility study for 2004 street improvements and order
35 plans and specifications.

37 for the reconstruction of the following streets:
38 1. Belden Drive, between 33`d Avenue NE and 32"d Avenue NE
39 2. Hilldale Avenue NE, between Belden Drive and Silver Lake Road
40 3. 32"d Avenue NE, between Belden Drive and Silver Lake Road
41 4. Town View Avenue NE,between Wilson Street and Silver Lake Road
42
43 Mr. Hubmer stated the estimated total cost of the project was $1,860,000 and gave a breakdown
44 of the charges for each improvement. He suggested the City issue a $1.8 million public
45 improvement bond, as the costs would come down. Mr. Hubmer noted a resolution was
46 provided accepting the Feasibility Study and authorizing preparation of final plans and
47 specifications.

31 contractors had histories of meeting schedules.

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

46 the League of Minnesota Cities on Friday, August 15, 2003. He stated the 2003 Legislature had

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

20 then fade away. He stated the residents of the City were tired of that process.
