10 7.1 John Lovelette, 3201 32"d Avenue,Review Requests for Building a New Home: (a)
11 Square Footage Variance, (b)Lot Width Variance; (c) Floor Area Ratio Variance.
12
13 John Lovelette stated that he and his wife Joan recently purchased the property located at 3201
14 32nd Avenue with the intent to remove the current structure and build a new home. He reviewed
15 the lot size and variance requests with the Commission. He explained that they plan to demolish
16 an 80-year old home currently located on the property and build a new two-story, 2,783 square
17 foot home. He noted that the property measures 50 x 175 stating that the variances necessary to
18 complete the home include a square footage variance because the property's lot size is under the
19 minimum lot size of 9000 square feet, at 8,750 square feet. He stated that they are requesting a
20 250 square foot variance for this requirement. He explained that the minimum lot width is 75-
21 feet noting that the property lot width is 50-feet, which would require a 25-foot variance. He
22 stated that the third variance is for floor area ratio noting that the floor area maximum is 30
23 percent of the lot. He explained that the proposed home would exceed the floor area ratio
24 requirement by 99 square feet and reviewed with the Commission. He stated that the variance to
25 meet the City's floor area ratio requirement would be in the amount of 99 square feet. He noted
26 that there is a discrepancy in the square footage from the Building Official figures and the plan
27 stating that the basement level and garage square footages are excluded from the calculation.
28
29 Mr. Lovelette provided the Commission with an overview of the house design and reviewed the
30 front and rear elevations with the Commission. He referenced the front and back hip roof and
31 elevations and reviewed with the Commission.
32
33 Chair Stromgren asked Mr. Lovelette to review the site plan and house design with the
34 Commission. Mr. Lovelette provided the Commission with a copy of the draft site plan for their
35 review noting that this is not the main survey version. He stated that he would submit the final
36 survey for their review by May 7, 2004 noting that it would include the dimensions.as shown on
37 the current draft.
38
39 Mr. Lovelette indicated that the driveway entrance would come off from 32"d Avenue and
40 reviewed the approach with the Commission. He noted that the current approach is 35 feet wide
41 and would in approximately 25 feet with a width of the 25-foot line, encompassing a 16-foot
42 door. He reviewed the entry sidewalk leading up to the porch, which is also shown, on the front
43 elevation design. He noted that from the back it would incur 50 feet rear yard to the front of the
44 porch. He indicated that the homes to the left and right of their property are set back further than
45 the proposed 50-feet for his proposed home and reviewed with the Commission. He noted that
lanning Commission Meeting Minutes
April 20, 2004
Page 3
1 the in the rear there would be a porch and deck that has not yet been included in the design of the
2 home. He reviewed the locations with the Commission noting that he has a five-foot setback on
3 right and a buffer with a 10-foot setback on left, which is the minimum setback required. He
4 noted that the home itself would be 35 feet wide.
5
6 Chair Stromgren asked if they meet the lot coverage requirement for impervious surface. Mr.
7 Lovelette stated that he ended up with approximately 500 feet less than the maximum allowed
8 and reviewed with the Commission noting that he does meet the requirements for impervious
9 surface.
10
11 Mr. Lovelette reviewed the location of the sidewalks that would be installed off the driveway
12 with the Commission. He provided the Commission with an overview of the interior design for
13 . all levels of the home. He indicated that there would be an internal fireplace located in the
14 family room and also in the Master Bedroom and reviewed the design with the Commission. He
15 reviewed the upstairs level design with the Commission noting that the floor plan provides the
16 option for up to four bedrooms. He indicated that one of the bedroom areas would continue to be
17 a loft area and reviewed the layout with the Commission.
18
19 Chair Stromgren asked Mr. Lovelette if he knew the vintage of the surrounding homes. Mr.
20 Lovelette explained that he recently met the neighbor to the right noting that he has lived in the
21 neighborhood for approximately 35 years. He stated that the home he purchased was one of the
22 first homes built on the block and was built in 1925. Commissioner Tillman noted that the
23 home has a 40's or 50's style appearance.
24
25 Chair Stromgren asked if any of the neighbors have indicated that they are not in favor of the
26 construction of this home. Mr. Lovelette stated that he has only met the neighbor to his right and
27 that he has indicated to him that he does not have any problems with the proposed structure. He
28 reviewed the condition of the current structure noting that the neighbor welcomes the work and
29 agrees that it would enhance the neighborhood. He stated he has not yet met his neighbor to the
30 left noting that he does intend to review the proposal with them soon.
31
32 Commissioner Jensen agreed that there is a need for the change stating that his only concern was
33 wit the spacing between the two lots. He stated that there is not much room noting that they have
34 laid out the design well enough to accommodate. Mr. Lovelette noted that the rear yard would be
35 larger than any yard he has had in the past noting that it is a fairly decent size yard. He noted that
36 with the capacity of the house and the dimensions of the property, 50-feet x 175-feet, it could not
37 be changed to any other layout. He stated that he did discuss the layout and dimensions with City
38 Staff and made the required changes to the square footage to match the ratio. He acknowledged
39 that he does not have a severe hardship noting that what he is proposing is based on the total
40 design of the house.
41
42 Mr. Lovelette reviewed the materials planned for the home with the Commission noting that it he
43 plans to use the craftsman style prairie look. He indicated that the stone would not be a generic
44 standard or color noting that he plans to have more impact with the colors. He indicated that the
r''lanning Commission Meeting Minutes

Page 4
1 color combination would be hues of greens and yellow noting that he has not yet selected the
2 actual siding noting that it would not be the standard blend most homes use today.
3
4 Commissioner Tillman asked Ms. Hall if the 5-foot setback requirement for the house would also
5 apply to the driveway. Ms. Hall clarified that the driveway would have to be up to the line and
6 reviewed with the Commission. Commissioner Tillman noted that Mr. Lovelette has at least 40
7 percent covered adding that it is well under the requirement.
8
9 Chair Stromgren clarified that this is why he asked earlier about the lot coverage noting the
10 potential parking issues. He thanked Mr. Lovelette for the overview stating that the Commission
11 would see him again in one month at the public hearing.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: 05/11/04 MEETING DATE: 05/18/04
TO: Chair Stromgren & Planning Commission Members
FROM: Susan M.H. Hall, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: 3201 32"d Avenue NE
Requested Action:
May 18, 2004 is the public hearing for three variances that John and Joan Lovelette are
requesting for the construction of a new home at 3201 32nd Avenue NE. The City
Council will review the requests at their May 25 meeting.
Background:
The petitioners plan to demolish an 80-year-old home currently on the property and build
a new, two-story 2,783 square foot home. The subject property measures 50 X 175.The
variances necessary to complete the project include a square footage variance as the
subject property's lot size is under the minimum lot size of 9,000 square feet, at 8,750
square feet. Therefore, the petitioner is requesting a 250 square foot variance for this
requirement. In addition, minimum lot width is 75 feet; the subject.property's lot width is
50 feet. Therefore, the petitioner is requesting a 25-foot variance for this requirement.
A third variance being requested by the petitioners is for floor area ratio (FAR). The floor
area maximum is 30 percent of the lot, or 2625 square feet in this case. The proposed
home would exceed the floor area ratio requirement by 99 square feet with the lot
measuring 8750 square feet and the proposed floor area calculated by the City's
Building Official at 2724 square feet. (The plan shows 2752 square feet on the first and
second floors.) The variance to meet the City's FAR requirement would be in the
amount of 99 square feet. The basement level and garage square footages are
excluded from the FAR calculation.
The petitioners have submitted the attached survey, which depicts new home's footprint
on the lot. It appears to meet the required setbacks on all sides. In addition, the new
home appears to meet other code requirements, such as height.
As far as the square footage and lot width requirements, precedence for cases like this
has been the City Council has approved such requests .because of the unique
circumstances and limitations surrounding the smaller lot size. The FAR requirement is
another issue. The reason for the requirement is to limit the mass of a structure. Last
year the City Council took the garage dimension out of the FAR calculation to make the
FAR not as stringent.

Date: May 18, 2004
To: St. Anthony Planning Commission
From: Perry Thorvig, City Planning Consultant on Silver Lake Village
Subject: The Dominium Group's Briefing on Final Development Plan at Silver Lake
Village
Requested Action: No formal action is required at this meeting. The Planning
Commission should listen to the Dominium briefing of their development plan and ask
questions and make comments about the plan. Dominium will present their plans to the
Planning Commission again at the commission meeting on,June 15, 2004.
Background
The purpose of the May 18, 2004 briefing is to allow the Dominium Group an
opportunity to present their plans for a 260 unit apartment building and to hear comments
and questions by the Planning Commission. Dominium will respond to questions and
comments as they can at this meeting and use the comments from the Planning
Commission to prepare their formal presentation for the June 15, 2004 Planning
Commission meeting. It is expected that the Planning Commission will make a
recommendation to the City Council at the June 15th meeting.
The Dominium project has been part of the overall Silver Lake Village plan since last
summer when the concept for the Silver Lake Village (then the Village at St. Anthony)
planned unit development was submitted to the Planning Commission and City Council
for approval. (Planned unit developments require a change to PUD zoning in a two step
process—Preliminary Development Plan and Final Development Plan.) On September
23,2003, the City Council approved the Final Development Plan for the commercial
portion of the development as well as concept plan approval for the entire Silver Lake
Village.
At this time, the Dominium Group is seeking its Final Development Plan approval. They
need to have City Council approval by the end of June to meet a closing deadline with
Pratt Ordway Properties, the master developer.
No public hearing is required. The property was rezoned on September 23, 2004 along
with the approval of the Final Development Plan for the commercial portion of the
project.
It is required that the Planning Commission review the final plans and make a
recommendation to the City Council to approve, approve with suggested modifications,
or reject the plans.
The criterion that the Planning Commission should use to make the recommendation is
the consistency of the final plans with the concept that was approved last September.
The concept (Preliminary Development Plan)that was approved last year is reflected in
the Design Framework Manual dated August 19, 2003 and the Preliminary Site Plan
dated 8/8/03. It shows the serpentine Dominium building located on the southwest
portion of the site. The diagram shows the building as "Market Rate Rental Units."
There were 220 units that were proposed last summer.
Consistency of Current Proposal with Preliminary Development Plan
Building Location and Lot Coverage—The building has only moved a few feet
to the west. Its lot coverage is very close to that shown in the concept plan.
Building Appearance—The height of the building (52 feet)has remained the
same. It's exterior appearance is also the same.
Building Density—The number of apartment units has increased from 220 to 260
(18%).
Types of Units —Seventy-nine units will be reserved for senior citizens. All of
these units will be "affordable"based on the federal Department of Housing and
Urban Development definition. The senior citizen units will be located together
in the west wing of the building.
Parking Spaces—The number of parking spaces is projected to be 415. The
zoning ordinance would normally require 520 spaces. The number of
underground spaces is 216—240 would normally be required underground.
A PUD allows flexibility because of the large nature of the use. Seventy nine
units will be reserved for seniors. Many other units in the building will also be
occupied by seniors, but no exact determination can be made because there are no
additional limits beyond the 79 units. Normal usage would suggest that seniors
will not have more than one car. Therefore, a case can be made for a departure
from the typical parking requirement of two spaces per unit.
Summary
The Planning Commission should ask questions about the building that relate to the
consistency criteria described above. The staff report on June 151'will have more
information related to these criteria so that the Planning Commission can make its
recommendation to the City Council.
Date: May 18, 2004
To: St. Anthony Planning Commission
From: Perry Thorvig, City Planning Consultant on Silver Lake Village
Subject: Briefing on Condominium Project at Silver Lake Village
Requested Action: No formal action is required at this meeting. The Planning
Commission should listen to the briefing on the condominium project proposed by Dan
Hunt and Len Pratt and ask questions and make comments about the plan. Hunt/Pratt
will present their plans to the Planning Commission again at a future meeting.
Background
The purpose of the May 18, 2004 briefing is to allow Hunt/Pratt an opportunity to present
their plans and provide an update on the final planning for the condominium project that
will be located north of the Dominium building.
The concept(Preliminary Development Plan)that was approved last year is reflected in
the Design Framework Manual dated August 19, 2003 and the Preliminary Site Plan
dated 8/8/03. It shows a first phase of four condominium buildings of 64 units each with
all parking underground.
No more detailed information was available at the time this report was prepared.
Summary
The Planning Commission should ask questions about the building and make comments
so that plans can be finalized and submitted to the commission for formal review at some
time in the future.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: 05/11/04 MEETING DATE: 05/18/04
TO: Chair Stromgren & Planning Commission Members
FROM: Susan M.H. Hall, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: City Electronic Monument Sign
Requested Action:
On May 18, the Planning Commission should review and re-discuss the City's electronic
reader board monument sign. At the meeting, the Commission should also discuss a
schedule to move ahead with the public hearing concerning the sign.
Background:
The topic of a city electronic reader board goes back a few years; some on the Planning
Commission have first-hand knowledge. The City Council has put the issue to the top of
the list with it being a goal for 2004. The Council would like to see the sign installed this
summer.
In late 2000, the Planning Commission formed a subcommittee and thereafter came up
with recommendations. The first recommendation concerned the location and the
second related to the need for an ordinance amendment to allow for electronic signs.
The preferred location recommended by the subcommittee was the area in front of the
tennis courts nearby the intersection of 33rd Avenue and Silver Lake Road. The site was
preferred because the sign could be built up on the side the hill and could accommodate
plantings. The location directly in front of City Hall was discussed but not preferred due
to visibility and space constraints. In addition, a site in front of Central Park, along Silver
Lake Road, was discussed.
On June 19, 2001, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to amend the city
ordinance to allow for electronic signs, as a conditional use, in areas zoned recreational
open space on city and/or school owned property, for public information purposes only.
It was noted that considerations should be given to safety and aesthetics. The public
hearing brought a lot of discussion about what the sign would look like. The Planning
Commission noted on July 17, 2001, when the issue returned from the City Council, that
the conditional use permit process would be used to set conditions to cover at least the
following: (1) flashing and animation prohibited; (2) hours of operation are limited and
shall be between the hours of 6 a.m. and 10 p.m.; (3) message changeability should be
minimum required to accomplish the purpose of the sign; and (4) sign aesthetics such
as color, size of reader board and sign, construction materials, and landscaping; (5)
consideration should be given to safety issues; and (6) purpose of sign should be for
public services only. The City Council thereafter approved the ordinance change,
following three readings and subject to the above conditions, on July 24, 2001.
Given today's circumstances, including the addition of the Fire Station to Silver Lake
Road, staff recommends the sign be placed in the island area between the City
Page 2— City Electronic Monument Sign
Hall/Community Center front parking lot and the Central Park parking lot (see concept
site plan attached. Staff believes this is the best location because it provides adequate
space and offers the best site lines. The tennis court location is quite close to the
intersection and safety is a concern for that reason. The location directly in front of City
Hall would be centralized; however, it is less than ideal due to the trees blocking the site
lines.
Staff is recommending a 5'6' h X 10'w sign, internally illuminated top section with a red
LED message center (38"h X 10'W) incorporated in the bottom section of the sign. The
LED display with have full graphic and animation capabilities, with 3 lines of 9" high copy
available.
With the proposed sign, a variance will be necessary for copy surface area. In this case,
the City would be able to have up to 80 square feet of copy surface for two or more
tenants; however, with the proposed copy surface of 110 square feet, the City will need
a 30 square foot variance. In addition, the City will need to apply for a conditional use
permit. The sign will be setback 18 feet from the curb line; the City's ordinance
requirement is to be at least 15 feet from the curb line.
Staff has drafted the attached sign policy, which is for informational purposes for the
Commission. The Council will be looking at the policy to go along with the sign approval.

FROM: Susan Henry, Assistant City Manager 1,
City RE:
Ci Monument Sign Recommendation
.:-
As you know, the City Council is interested in an electronic city monument near the City
HalllCommunity Center Building. Last month at the Joint Meeting of the Planning Commission/City
Council, there was consensus to go ahead with the city electronic monument sign,justifying public
purpose as the reason.
Originally, the sign subcommittee considered an update to the sign portion of the code to allow
electronic signs citywide. While this is still under consideration, that is not the recommendation at
this time. Allowing the City.to have electronic reader board signs requires making an ordinance
change to allow electronic signs for public purposes only, in specially zoned areas, such as
Recreational/Open Space. If the Planning Commission were agreeable with pursuing this, the
public hearing on the ordinance change would take place on June 19. The Council would then have
three hearings on the-case (June 26, July 10 and 24).
-The Monument Sign.Subcommittee was formed elate last year to study the issue as it relates to
need, location,.and current city-code. After studying the potential, the. preferred is on the hill .near
the tennis courts at 37t' and Silver Lake Road.-The recommendation includes the monument sign
to be attractively landscaped and built into the side of the hill. This scope of work will probably cost
more than originally planned due to the fact that its more elaborate. However, this location makes
the most sense and ties in with the City improving the City Hall/Community Center campus. An
alternate location is in front of Central Park, along Silver Lake Road. This option would probably
cost less money. It may be a budgetary decision to eliminate the more elaborate sign location.
Currently, there is not money budgeted for this item. The Council will need to take a look at funding
of the expenditure in 2001 or 2002, if necessary. The expenditure is unknown at this.time until the
design concept and bids are received for the project..
Once the ordinance change has gone through its procedural channels, city staff can go ahead and
begin working.with a firm for design concepts. What input would the Planning Commission like to
give to the design firm in terms of what the:sign should look.like? The design firm could draw
concepts for both potential sign locations.:ls it important to establish standards for maintenance
and operation? This is an`approp.nate time to make those comments. The Council and Planning
Commission mentioned at the joint meeting the importance of tying the project to the same firm that
will be working on Central Park. This way there can be design consistency between the public
areas. Once the design concept is completed, the plans will be forwarded to the Planning
Commission for comment, then onto the City Council for final approval. if approved, it is hoped the .
project can be accomplished yet in 2001.
Staff Recommendation: Send the project recommendation to the City Council for comment. Begin
the process by making an ordinance change to the sign code stating that the city can place
electronic signs in areas zoned recreational/open space for the purposes of public information.

Re: 4/17/01 PC/CC Joint Meeting Summary
is
Main Topics Discussed:
1) Electronic City Monument Sign: The consensus was the City favors an electronic style sign,
using the newer technology for public informational purposes. The group discussed the f
commercial versus public dilemma where electronic signs are placed.The consensus was it is best f
to change the city code as it relates to the electronic sign-for public. Most agreed the location by the
tennis courts is preferred, if it fits in the budget, otherwise choose the alternate site,which is in front .
of Central Park-along,Silver..Lake.Road. There was some discussion about articulating what the.'
sign.should look like,and for.that vision to be conveyed to the City Council.
2) St. Anthony Shopping Center. The area surrounding the St Anthony Shopping Center was
discussed. Redevelopment was the focus of conversation, like what to do at the site, especially
with the Stonehouse and the Fire Station. With the City acquiring 40,000 square feet at Custom
Liquidators plus the 40,000 square feet already acquired at Kenzie Terrace and the 26,000 square
feet Hitching Post easement One frustration discussed is the lack of investment or interest on the
Shopping Center's part to construct green space. Why should the City put $200,000 - $300,000 .
into the area if the Center owners aren't doing anything? One idea discussed is to get the
easement back, and to get money back, if possible.
planning is underway. The process and
3) Northwest Quadrant: The redevelopment master
potential was discussed. !' !
4) Housing Stock: Housing code issues were.discussed. A point of sale-ordinance was mentioned
as to possibly reviving its potential again.

i IV. PUBLIC HEARINGS FOR IMPROVEMENT PROJECT FOR 39TH AVENUE NE AND
2 FOR SAID ASSESSMENTS FOR THE PROJECT.
3 Mayor Pro Tem Thuesen opened the public hearing at 7:05 p.m.
4
5 Todd Hubmer, WSB and Associates, Inc., noted the following resolutions were currently before
6 Council for its consideration:
7 1. A resolution ordering improvements. He explained this resolution stated that Council
8 had completed the public hearing process and ordered the project to be completed.
9 2. A resolution adopting and confirming assessments for the various public improvements.
10 He noted assessments which were calculated in accordance with the City's assessment
11 policy for the 39`h Avenue Street and Utility Improvement Project were provided to
12 Council, declared the amount to be assessed at$2,205,000 and outlined the assessment
13 process in accordance with Minnesota Statutes Chapter 429.
14 3. A resolution awarding a bid for Phase 1: 39th Avenue street and utility improvements.
15 He indicated this resolution awarded the contract for Phase 1 to the lowest bidder, which
16 was Veit and Company, Inc., with a bid amount of$399,999.
17
18 Mr. Hubmer stated this project consisted of street reconstruction, new construction and
19 replacement of water main, sanitary sewer and storm sewer on 39`h Avenue NE from Stinson
20 Boulevard to Silver Lake Road. He noted the anticipated cost of the project was as follows:
21 street reconstruction at$1,320,000; sanitary sewer improvements at$231,000; water main
improvements at$200,000; storm sewer improvements at$280,000; pond improvements at
$569,000; sidewalk, pedestrian trail and street lighting at $380,000. He added the anticipated
24 total was $2,980,000.
25
26 Mr. Hubmer stated it was proposed the project would be funded from the following sources:
27 Federal grant at$750,000; special assessments at $2,205,000; a City contribution of$25,000.
28
29 Mr. Hubmer explained the adjacent property owners would be assessed according to the City's
30 assessment policy based on front footage and would be assessed 50% of the street reconstruction
31 cost from Stinson Boulevard to Silver Lake Road. He added a storm sewer assessment would
32 also be levied on those parcels.
33
34 Mayor Pro Tem Thuesen reviewed the public hearing procedures and asked if there were any
35 comments or questions from the audience. No one came forward.
36
37 Councilmember Faust indicated the City had received$750,000 from the Federal government,
38 which normally did not happen. He noted taxpayers would have needed to pay that amount
39 without the grant and stated he wanted to acknowledge the efforts of City staff and the Council
40 to obtain the funding.
41
42 Mayor Pro Tem Thuesen closed the public hearing at 7:15 p.m.

Mr. Hubmer indicated he also had received letters from Equinox Apartments, as well as Cub
2 Foods and the tenants of Apache Commons, which reserved their rights to appeal the
3 assessments.
4
5 Mr. Gilligan explained there was a right to appeal special assessments under Minnesota law and
6 either an appearance before Council or the submission of a written appeal was necessary to
7 preserve that right.
8
9 A. Resolution 04-036, re: Ordering street and utility improvements.
10 Mr. Hubmer indicated this resolution authorized the project to proceed and stated ten days
11 mailed notice and two weeks published notice in advance of the current hearing was given,
12 noting all persons desiring to be heard at the hearing were given an opportunity to be heard.
13
14 Motion by Councilmember Faust, seconded by Councilmember Stille, to adopt Resolution 04-
15 036 ordering improvements, which consisted of street reconstruction, new construction and
16 replacement of water main, sanitary sewer and storm sewer on 39`h Avenue NE from Stinson
17 Boulevard to Silver Lake Road.
18
19 Discussion:
20
21 Councilmember Horst stated he wanted to clarify the appeal process, as no one came forward to
speak against the assessments. Mr. Gilligan explained residents who wished to appeal the
assessments either needed to appear at the current hearing or file an appeal prior to the hearing.
24 He added only those who had filed an appeal via letters preserved their right to take the issue to
25 court for appeal, as the public hearing was closed.
26
27 Motion carried unanimously.
28
29 B. Resolution 04-037, re: Confirming assessments.
30 Mr. Hubmer explained the assessments would be spread over a period of 15 years and the total
31 value of the assessments was $2,205,000.
32
33 Motion by Councilmember Stille, seconded by Councilmember Faust, to adopt Resolution 04-
34 037 adopting and confirming assessments for 39th Avenue street and utility improvements.
35
36 Discussion:
37
38 Mr. Hubmer stated one question that was consistently asked regarding assessments was if an
39 individual assessment could be paid without any interest being added. He explained that the
40 owner of any assessed property might, at any time prior to certification, make partial or full
41 payments toward the balance owed. He added the owner might, at any time after certification,
42 pay the entire assessment, with interest accrued to the date of payment, except no interest would
43 be charged if the entire assessment was paid by November 30 of the assessment year.
. ,
Councilmember Horst asked regarding the interest rate. Mr. Hubmer responded the rate was the
46 bond interest rate plus two points, which had been between 3% and 5%.

2 City Manager Morrison noted letters were sent to the affected property owners explaining the
3 options available to them. He indicated the letters would probably be sent sometime in the fall.
4
5 Motion carried unanimously.
6
7 C. Resolution 04-038, re: Award construction bid.
8 Mr. Hubmer noted this resolution awarded a contract for Phase 1 of the 39`h Avenue
9 reconstruction, which included storm sewer, water main, sanitary sewer and appurtenant work.
10 He stated no street reconstruction would be completed with this phase of the project, as
11 requirements must be met before the Federal funds could be received. He added that was why
12 the project was in two phases, noting it was anticipated Phase 2 would begin sometime in July.
13
14 Mr. Hubmer indicated the low bidder was Veit and Company, Inc., Rogers,Minnesota, in the
15 amount of$399,999.
16
17 Motion by Councilmember Horst, seconded by Councilmember Faust, to adopt Resolution 04-
18 038 awarding a bid for Phase 1 (391h Avenue street and utility improvements) to Veit and
19 Company, Inc., Rogers, Minnesota, in the amount of$399,999.
20
21 Discussion:
Councilmember Horst asked if it was true that street paving would not be done in the-first phase.
24 Mr. Hubmer responded that was correct, as the pavement would be done as part of Phase 2. He
25 indicated Phase 1 consisted of putting in utilities from Silver Lake Road to the existing 39`h
26 Avenue and all of the road work, street work and utilities on the west side of the project would
27 be completed in Phase 2. He explained additional reasons for the phasing were as follows:
28 1. Some of the utilities needed to be installed before the foundation area of Apache Mall
29 was filled, which would save money because that area would not need to be reopened at a
30 later time.
31 2. Utilities were needed so construction could begin on the adjacent stores.
32
33 Councilmember Horst asked regarding the street that went to the liquor store. Mr. Hubmer
34 responded that street segment would be finished before the liquor store was completed, which
35 would also be part of Phase 2.
36
37 Councilmember Stille asked if the phasing of the project was because of funding. Mr. Hubmer
38 responded the project needed to be split into two phases, as it was necessary to complete the
39 approval process to receive the$750,000 Federal grant.
40
41 Councilmember Stille asked regarding the large differences between the bids. Mr. Hubmer
42 responded the project estimate was $547,000; however, he thought Veit and Company's low bid
43 indicated they wanted to keep control of the site, as they were doing the demolition of Apache
Mall.

2 V. REPORTS.
3 A. Presentation of Police Department 2003 Annual Report by Captain Ohl.
4 Captain Ohl reviewed the Part I and II crime statistics as they had occurred in Saint Anthony
5 Village over the past five years. He noted the overall clearance rate in 2003 was 55% and
6 indicated there was a slight increase in Part II criminal offenses of approximately 1% and an 8%
7 increase in Part I offenses.
8
9 Captain Ohl noted the Department had a consistently high crime clearance rate, adding it was
10 higher than the overall rate in Hennepin and Ramsey Counties. He cited a proactive patrol force
11 as one of the reasons for the high clearance rate, noting the patrol force did pursue many of the
12 offense reports and actually cleared them.
13
14 Captain Ohl indicated Part I crimes such as burglary and larceny had increased, which was
15 typical for a first-ring suburb. He noted it was one of the prevalent problems in the City.
16
17 Councilmember Horst asked if shoplifting was considered larceny. Captain Ohl responded
18 shoplifting was essentially a theft and larceny was a type of theft.
19
20 Discussion followed regarding the definitions of larceny, theft and burglary. Captain Ohl
21 indicated most of the incidents were thefts from automobiles, shoplifting, etc.
Captain Ohl displayed a chart that listed Part I crimes per month. He noted there appeared to be
24 a higher rate of motor vehicle thefts, especially in January, and speculated that could be caused
25 by more people leaving their cars running.
26
27 Captain Ohl indicated the Department was cognizant of and working towards diminishing the
28 number of property crimes. He added crimes against persons, as they related to Part II offenses,
29 were substantially less.
30
31 Captain Ohl displayed a chart that listed Part II crimes per month. He asked Council to note the
32 wide gamut covered by Part II crimes, indicating they ranged from DWI arrests to domestic
33 assault to certain types of fraud and forgery.
34
35 Captain Ohl discussed the call load of the Police Department and gave statistics regarding the
36 calls to which the Department responded. He stated the Department appreciated calls from
37 residents regarding suspicious persons and vehicles, adding those types of calls were increasing.
38 He noted residents knew what was suspicious within their neighborhoods and stated the
39 Department needed the public's help and direction regarding its responses within specific areas.
40
41 Mayor Pro Tem Thuesen asked if Captain Ohl had a rough estimate regarding the percentage of
42 calls from residents that prevented a crime in progress. Captain Ohl responded the vast majority
43 of the calls represented a"cousin coming into town late at night" or a neighbor who locked
himself out of his house and was crawling into his window. He noted he did not have a statistic
to give; however, he added, when a burglar was caught, it was because a neighbor knew
46 something was amiss.

2 , Captain Ohl provided information related to the 2003 investigative totals, noting, including the
3 contract cities, there were a total of 1,097 criminal cases and 574 of them were cleared. He
4 indicated the Saint Anthony Village portion of those numbers was 676 criminal cases with 367
5 cleared, which was a respectable statistic. He commended the patrol staff for the number of
6 cases cleared by arrest and listed other ways cases could be cleared.
7
8 Captain Ohl provided a list of 2003 Department accomplishments and noted the Department had
9 kept turnover at almost zero during 2003. He noted it was expensive to bring in an officer and
10 train him/her and it was "a shame" when officers took their talents away from the City.
11
12 Captain Ohl stated the Department maintained a representation in Family Services Collaborative,
13 which had been good for the Police Department and the citizens and children in Saint Anthony
14 Village.
15
16 Captain Ohl explained the Department was working hard to address weapons of mass destruction
17 and potential terrorist incidents, stating it was getting as ready as possible. He stated each of the
18 City's officers had been through training and protective gear for first responders was obtained
19 through grants. He noted this would continue in 2004.
20
21 Captain Ohl indicated the Police Department was dedicated to a community-oriented policing
'. strategy, which was to arrest offenders, prevent criminal offenses, problem solve within the
community and improve the overall quality of life for the City's citizens.
24
25 Mayor Pro Tem Thuesen asked Captain Ohl to briefly discuss the police reserves, noting he was
26 impressed by the number of hours given through the police reserves. Captain Ohl responded he
27 would have a hard time putting a dollar amount on the time given through the police reserves,
28 stating it was an excellent resource for the Department. He indicated there were 10 current
29 reserves and the Department had an allotment of 14 reserves. He noted, currently, the majority
30 of the reserve officers were not interested in pursuing a career in law enforcement. He added it
31 was almost impossible to think of operating without the reserves.
32
33 Councilmember Faust stated he wished to compliment the Police Department on its
34 responsiveness during difficult budget times and thanked all the officers who were "out there"
35 every day, as they were a good connection with the community. He noted National Night Out
36 helped Police Department personnel connect residents and"put a face behind the badge."
37
38 Captain Ohl indicated the officers were supportive of the Council, the Mayor and City staff. He
39 added the officers felt "very supported" by the City Council.
40

16 who received awards in 2003 for saving lives, as that was a significant accomplishment.

19 warnings. Fire Chief Hewitt responded he believed most schools relied on the outdoor warning
20 system. He added he read about a request for parents to donate a Noaa radio to the principal's
21 office or clerk's staff so schools would be notified of an incident. He stated he hoped the
citizens would consider providing such equipment.
24 Councilmember Faust asked Mr. Morrison to "ask the question"regarding warning equipment
25 for the schools.
