REPORTS
Planning Commission - June 20, 1989
Burlington Northern ?petro Community Credit , 2500 Highway 88 -
Sign variance Request
Planning Commissioner Wagner explained that the nar:e
Burlington Northern Metro Credit has been changed to
Burlir_gtcn Northern Metro Community Credit , necessitating a
request for an increase in the size of the two signs over the
business ' s drive-in. The Planning Comnission recon*mended
that the signs be one-line signs rather than two-line, that a
background be provided to :take the wording more visible than
in the past , and that the signs be 72 square feet total, or
36 square feet on each side , 18 inches high and 24 feet wide .
Al Sterner of Attracta Sign said that he believed the
4
Planning Commission to be in error because the lettering
would not fit on one line in the space available . He
proposed a two-line sign, 30 inches high, with 12-inch
letters .
Council Inember Ranallo asked what the total square footage
would then amount to. Acting City Manager VanderHeyden
calculated 120 total square feet, or 60 square feet on each
side. Commissioner Wagner stated that it was the consensus
of the Planning Commission that a one-line sign would blend
in best with the building architecture .
Council Action
Motion by Ranallo, seconded by Makowske, to grant a variance
to Burlington Northern Metro Com��,unity Credit to allow a
two-sided sign, 30 inches high, 24 feet long, 120 total
square feet , 60 square feet each side, with ivory background
fascia, to include the word "ccn.munity. "
;lotion carried L'nani;mo isly.
• Com-missioner Wagner discussed the tabling of the Nationwide
Sewing and Vacuum sign request.. He s t.atcd that rider
ad-1--ion Cf the :ew sign format for the St . Anthony Shopping
Center, the decision was made that there be no additional
signage . Although the public literary in a si.?ilar corner
location has two signs , Nationwide Sewing has no fascia -,pon
which to nount an additional sign on the side of the store.
The consensus of the Commission was to allow the owner one
month to explore alternatives to his request in light of the
shopping center sign policy.
Council Member Makowske pointed out , ' in reference to
Commissioner Hansen' s comments recorded on page 10 of the
Planning Commission minutes , that no road as mentioned is to
be built past the apartments adjacent to the shopping center .
Commissioner Wagner agreed with Council Men.ber Makowske ' s
observation and stated that the traffic pattern behind the
bowling alley has been complained about in the past and might
need to be addressed in the future .
St . Anthony Bank, 2401 Lowry Avenue - Sign Variance Request
Commissioner Wagner stated that St . Anthony National Bank,
since its acquisition by Firstar Corporation, is requesting a
variance for a sign at the southeast entrance to the bank
which will be 14.25 square feet, or 9 square feet larger than
5
the ex.istirg sign. 1:o concern was expressed by the
Comanission regarding the size or location of the southeast
entrance sign.
Commissioner Wagner reported that the Commission was opposed
to the lettering on the reader board facing the drive-in
traffic behind the bank. Although the lettering is on the
back of a directional sign, it was felt by the Commission
that the reader board constituted an additional sign and that
it required a variance, and recommended that the lettering be
removed.
Donavon Fisher of Firstar St. Anthony Bark protested the
Planning Commission' s impression that the bank was unfairly
pressuring the Commission to recommend variance by purchasing
the sign in advance of variance approval . He stated that the
bank had been informed that approval was granted by former
City tanager Childs.
Acting City Manager VanaerHeyden calculated that the bank was
still well within their limit for total sign square footage
even with the reader board lettering.
• Council Action
':y Makcwske, seconded by Canallo, to approve the
request of St . Anthony national Bark to place a second 14 . 25
square foot identification sign replacing an existing 5.25
square foot sign on the southe=ast wall near the front
entrance.
Motion carried unanimously.
Coldwell Banker Comnercial , St . Anthony Shopping Center -
Sign Variance Request
Commissioner Wagner advised the Council that the Planning
Commission had recommended that Coldwell Barker Commercial ,
which is handling the leasing operations for the St . Anthony
Shopping Center, be granted a variance to erect a 16 square
foot te-.=orary "`_Gr lease" sign on the fascia of the St.
Anthony Shopping Center facing Kenzie Terrace for six months .
Council Action
Motion by Ranallo, seconded by Enrooth, to grant the variance
per the Planning Commission recommendation.
Motion carried unanimously.

Salvation Army, 2950 W. County Road E - Sign Variance Request
Commissioner Wagner advised the Council that the Planning
Commission had recommended that the Salvation Army be granted
a variance to replace their existinng sign on Silver Lake
Road and County Road E with a 64 square foot ground surface
sign identifying the entrance to Silver Lake Camp.
Council Action
Motion by Enrooth, seconded by Ma:cwske, to grant the
variance per the Planning Commission recommendation.
Motion carried unanimously.
Council Member Ranallo noted the excessive amount of time
spent by both the Planning Commission and the City Council on
sign variances , and suggested that the Sign Ordinance be
re-evaluated. Commissioner Wagner acknowledged that the
Planning Commission had also discussed that issue and had
• concluded that the Sign Ordinance should be updated and then
communicated directly to all St . Anthony businesses for their
information.
The Council agreed that a moratorium on sign variances would
not be practical because it would restrict businesses in
their day-to-day operations . Commissioner Wagner stated that
although St. Anthony' s Sign Ordinance was restrictive in
comparison to those of other communities, it was also better.
Mayor Sundland pointed out that businesses have only a few
options to increase their traffic, one being to improve or
increase their signage, although he agreed with both Council
Member Ranallo and Commissioner Wagner.
Council Reports
Council Member Ranallo related the fact that a person with
several outstanding warrants for his arrest , posing as a
solicitor in Ranallo ' s neighborhood, had recently been
apprehended by the police . He cautioned St . Anthony
residents that solicitors are required to obtain a permit and
that residents are welcome to investigate the legiticimacy of
any solicitors in the community.
Council Member Ranallo then thanked the Council for their
strong support for his attempt at the nomination for the vice
7
•
presidency of the League of Minnesota Cities . He announced
his candidacy for another term as Council Member.
Council Member Enrooth took the opportunity to announce that
he also will be seeking re-election.
Council Member Makowske presented a plaque from the Ramsey
County League of Local Governments to Mayor Sundland.
Council Member Makowske stated that in the past few years the
Ramsey County League of Local Governments has become a Tore
:meaningful and influential organization and has teen of nore
service to the cities within Ramsey County. She stated that
city manager turnover was discussed at their last meeting . A
report delivered by a Mr. Morris at that meeting indicated
that city manager turnover was precipitated by mayoral change
(31%) , council turmoil (16%) , development within the
community (10%) , longevity (7%) , and idiosyncratic items
(29%) .
Council Member I,akewske reported that she was the only
attendee at a meeting of the St . Anthony historical Society
the previous evening and that no action was taken regarding
the Historical Society' s contributions to VillageFest .
Mayor Sundland invited Stan Mirocha, 2604 29th Avenue N.L. ,
to address the Council . Mr . Mirocha alerted the Council to
the problems of residents spraying their grass clippings into
the street when mowing their lawns, and of residents,
particularly those on Silver Lake Road, accumulating what
appears to be debris or garbage by their garages . The
Council and the Mayor agreed that those activities detracted
from the appearance of the City, and Mayor Sundland suggested
that a reminder of the importance of yard cleanliness be
inserted in either the newsletter or with the water bill .
DEPARTMIENTS AND COMMITTEES
Brief discussion preceded orders to file the following:
1 . June 7th report from Hance « Le'Jahn reporting various
matters conducted at Hennepin County District Court up to
and including June 7 , 1989 .
2. Financial Reports for April and May, 1989 .
3 . 1988 Fire Department Annual Report .
Mayor Sundland asked that Acting City Manager VanderHeyden
highlight for the Council areas in the financial reports
8
•
where budget was being exceeded.
Acting City Manager
Temporary Signage Request from VillageFest Committee
Acting City Manager VanderHeyden reported that the
VillageFest Committee is requesting approval of the City
Council to place a run..ber of temporary signs to advertise the
VillageFest celebration. She researched the Sign Ordinance
and found that no permit is required for signs whi.ch do not
have a surface area in excess of 32 square feet and which are
erected or displayed for period of time not to exceed 30 days
in any year. The VillageFest signs except for the banner
across Silver Lake Road meet those specifications .
Mayor Sundland asked how the Silver Lake Road banner would be
anchored. Acting City ?tanager VanderHeyden responded that
Public Works Director Larry Hamer planned to anchor the sign
to two posts on city property at the intersection of Silver
Lake Road and County Road E in such a manner as not to
obstruct traffic. Council Member Makowske requested that the
signs not be allowed to deteriorate.
Council Action
Motion by Enrooth, seconded by Makowske, to approve erection
of a Villagefest banner across Silver Lake Road at the
intersection of Silver Lake Road and County Road E for a
period not to exceed two weeks .
Motion carried unanimously.
Water Connection Request from the Silver Lane Seven
Acting City Manager presented the request of seven residents
of Silver Lane that the $135 connection inspection fee to
St . Anthony ' s water system be waived.
Douglas Jones , 2505 Silver Lane, stated that at the time the
homes were built on Silver Lane no St. Anthony water hookup
was available and the residents obtained their water from
Columbia Heights . He explained the actual procedure the City
Public Works Department would undertake to connect the homes
to St. Anthony water. He reported that it was in the City' s
interest to hook these residents up to St . Anthony water
because maintaining the old water main has become
increasingly expensive.
9
•
Motion by Ranallo, seconded by Enrooth, to waive the water
connection inspection fee for the seven residents of Silver
Lane west of Silver Lake Terrace.
Motion carried unanimously
NEW BUSINESS
Award Bid for Plumbing Work at Stonehouse
Council Member Ranallo asked whether the bids were sealed or
unsealed bids . Acting City Manager Var-derFeyden responded
that they were sealed bids . City Attorney Soth stated that
sealed bids should be taken for work which was anticipated to
be $15, 000 and above.
Council Action
Motion by Ranallo, seconded by Makowske, that Delson Plumbing
be awarded the bid to install the plumbing, drains, vents,
etc . per plans and specifications for the restrooms and
kitchen in the Apache Wells Bar and Grill for $14, 575.
• Motion carried unanimously.
Resolution 89-019 re: Minneapolis Park Board Assessments
City Attorney Soth advised the Council that the question of
the applicability of the agreement in case there ever is an
assessment in the future was unresolved, although each side
would be free to restate its position at that tire should the
issue arise. He recommended the assessment dispute be
settled, and the Council agreed that the settlement agreement
reached, while not entirely satisfactory to the City, was the
best that could be achieved.
Council Action
?ioticn by iiakowske, seconded by Ranallo, to approve
Resolution 89-019 authorizing the Mayor and ;,c-ing City
Manager to execute the settlement agreement between the City
of St . Anthony and the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board,
Motion carried unanimously.
Feasibility Report on the Repair of Minnesota State Aid
Streets in St. Anthony. `
Sidewalk Construction on the Horth Side of Kenzie Terrace
Z _ �-.
10
•
(Resolution 89-018 re: Approval of Plans and Specifications
and Ordering Advertisement for Bids) .
Bob Robertson of Reike Carroll Muller Associates, Inc. was
present to discuss the sidewalk improvement on Kenzie
Terrace. He stated that the cost estimate for 1 , 400 feet of
sidewalk plus a retaining wall by the apartments was close to
$16, 000, and that a portion of the cost was being funded with
block gr=ant funds . Acting City Manager VanderHeyden
confirmed that the City would have enough money available to
complete the project .
Council Action
Motion by Enrooth, seconded by Makowske, to approve
Resolution 89-018, a resolution approving plans and
specifications and ordering advertisement for bids for the
complete construction of approximately 1 , 400 linear feet of
five-foot wide sidewalk and appurtenant work along the north
side of Kenzie Terrace W.E.
Motion carried unanimously.
• Peter Carlson of Reike Carroll Muller Associates , Inc. was
present to disuss their findings, recommendations, and
preliminary cost estimate for the repair of the following
streets:
1. 33rd Avenue from Stinson Blvd. to Old Highway No. 8 .
2 . 37th Avenue from Stinson Blvd. to Silver Lake Road.
3. Stinson Blvd. from 37th Avenue to Silver Lake.
4. Chandler Drive from 37th Avenue to the City Limits.
Mr. Carlson informed the Council that Chandler Drive was in
the worst condition of the four areas needing repair. He
indicated that settlement occurred in conjunction with a
storm sewer project in Chandler Drive. Reike Carroll ?fuller
(RCM) recommended that a 1 , 200 foot reach of Chandler Drive
be removed and that soil exploration be done to determine the
soil condition before repaving. Mr . Carlson recommended that
Chandler Drive be repaired first due to the extensive nature
of the damage.
Council Member Makowske asked whether the cost listed for
Stinson Boulevard was the St . Anthony portion only or the
total cost for both St. Anthony and Columbia Heights . Mr.
Carlson stated that he was not aware that it was a shared
street, but that the cost listed was the entire cost.
. Council Member Ranallo suggested that Columbia Heights be
contacted about sharing the cost.
11
•
Council Member Ranallo asked whether the work could be done
in phases . Mr. Carlson responded that the Chandler Drive
work could be completed this year, and Acting City Manager
VanderHeyden stated that Public Works Director Larry Hamer
preferred that plan.
Council Member Enrooth asked Mr. Carlson to rank the projects
in order of priority. Mr . Carlson stated that 33rd would be
the second priority. Mr. Carlson and Acting City 1•;anager
VanderHeyden said that Larry Hamer advised repairing the area
in front of the school and the area on Edwards Avenue between
36th and 37th, which is a sanitary sewer repair project.
Mr. Carlson stated that the City had a total of $258 , 00000
available, and that it would be possible to obtain an advance
of up to 40 percent of next year ' s funds, giving the City an
additional $62 , 000 .
Council Member Makow_ske asked how Larry Hamer had proposed to
deal with the Type A crack repairs and the Type A joint
repairs . Acting City Manager VanderHeyden responded that he
intended to do as many of them himself as possible, somewhat
• reducing the cost of the proposal .
Acting City Manager VanderHeyden suggested that assessment
was also an option to fund the project. Council Member
Enrooth asked whether the sanitary sewer blacktop replacement
would be assessable, and Acting City Manager VanderHeyden
responded that all the projects are assessable. Council
Member Ranallo pointed out that although the projects were
assessable they were not covered in the assessment policy,
which covers replacements and not repairs . Acting City
Manager VanderHeyden noted that in that case a new policy
simply needed to be enacted.
Council Member Enrooth asked whether the City had any other
options at this time . Acting City Manager VanderHeyden noted
that a 40 percent advance on next year' s funds was a
possibility because the only major project Larry Hamer
planned for 1990 was the street signal at 37th and Stinson,
an $85, 000 project of which St. Anthony would pay
approximately one third.
Council Member Ranallo suggested that the Council consider
the fairness of assessing property owners for repairs
depending upon whether they were on a concrete or an asphalt
street, concrete repairs being generally more expensive.
Inconclusive discussion ensued regarding what assessment had
• been made for St. Anthony Boulevard repairs .
12
Mayor Sundland pointed out that once work is begun on street
repair that additional problems could be discovered. Mr.
Carlson responded that RCM' s opinion was that most of the
settling had already occurred on Chandler Drive and that they
did not anticipate major unforeseen problems .
Council Member Makowske suggested that the assessment policy
be re-evaluated in light of assessing for tarring and sanding
of asphalt streets as well as repairs of concrete streets .
Council Member Enrooth asked Mr. Carlson to describe the time
frame for the repairs to Chandler Drive. Mr. Carlson
responded that plans and specs could be ready for approval by
August, bids could be opened in early September, and that the
six weeks ' worth of construction could be completed by
sometime in October.
Council Member Ranallo stated that he could not agree with
assessing for concrete street repairs when asphalt street
repairs were not assessed. Mr. Carlson responded that
sealcoating is considered to be maintenance work, as is crack
and joint repair. Council Member Makowske pointed out that
• the proposed work for Chandler Drive involved actual
replacement of a portion of the roadway.
Council Member Makowske asked whether St. Anthony' s
assessment policy should be in place before the project was
approved and bids were advertised for. City Attorney Soth
responded affirmatively, and stated that the proper public
hearing must be held before the policy is changed. Council
Member Enrooth asked whether the school could be assessed for
work, and City Attorney Soth responded affirmatively.
Council Member Makowske questioned whether the Chandler Drive
project could realistically be completed this year. Mr.
Carlson responded affirmatively, and said that the timing
would be convenient for the Concrete Paving Association to
handle the work.
Motion and Discussion
Motion by Ranallo, seconded by Enrooth, to proceed with plans
and specifications for the repair of Minnesota State Aid
streets in St. Anthony.
Council Member Makowske asked whether a city-wide assessment
could be considered for street repairs as they occurred.
City Attorney Soth responded that such a policy would be
� . unusual because in. order to assesss any_ give.n piece of.
v _ -
13
•
property the City must make a finding tht the value of that
property is increased by reason of the improvements .
Council Member Makowske announced that she would vote against
the motion on the floor. Mayor Sundland pointed out that, in
that case, the work might not be performed this year because
of time constraints . Council Member Makowske responded that
she understood that, but felt that in fairness to the
residents of the City the assessment policy should be
re-evaluated before such repairs were undertaken. Council
Member Ranallo restated Mr. Soth' s advice that repairs which
do not increase the value of property cannot be assessed.
Council Member Enrooth asked how the Edwards Street repairs
were to be paid for. Acting City Manager VanderHeyden
responded that they would be paid for out of the sewer fund,
but that the full amount of money was not available in the
sewer fund to pay for the repairs. She stated that the
City ' s options in that case were bonding, special reserves
or, if a legal way could be found, assessments .
Council Member Makowske asked whether there would be enough
time to make the repairs to Chandler Drive if the issue was
• tabled until the next Council meeting pending re-evaluation
of the assessment policy. Mr. Carlson was unable to : aye
such a prediction because of the variables involved.
Council Action
Motion by Makowske, seconded by Sundland, to table the
pending motion for two weeks .
Motion carried unanimously.
Council Member Ranallo stated his opposition to assessing
property owners for repairs to State Aid roads, and requested
that City Attorney Soth research the question in ti,-,.e for the
next City Council meeting. Council Member Makowske noted
that assessments had been made for St . Anthony Boulevard
repairs, but Council Member Ranallo pointed out that the
St . Anthony Boulevard project was construction of a new
street , not patch and repair.
Discussion ensued about the difference between "repair" and
"reconstruction" and which category Chandler Drive belonged
in. Mr. Carlson offered the information that removal and
replacement of a section of Chandler Drive will actually be
more cost-effective than patching and repairing because of
the nature of the damage. Mr. Soth suggested that the damage
:- ,-. =_..may rbe some of each, and Council Member Ranallo asked City
14
•
Attorney Soth to research that particular information.
Council Member Enrooth suggested that the underlying question
was whether St . Anthony could continue not to assess for
street repairs considering the future expense of repairing
the numerous concrete streets in the City, some of which are
apparent even now. Council Member Makowske pointed out that
the same problems will arise with the asphalt streets .
City Attorney Soth reminded the Council that although it was
legal to assess that the City would be limited by the amount
of the special benefit conferred to the property assessed.
Council Member Enrooth asked whether, if one side of a street
were repaired, the benefit was conferred to only the property
owners on that half of the street. Mr. Soth responded that
that was not necessarily the case, and that formulas could be
established to reasonably allocate benefits .
Council Member Ranallo expressed concern that those property
owners on non-State Aid streets would be unfairly burdened
with large assessments . City Attorney Soth said that in a
technical and legal sense it was irrelevant whether a road
• was State Aid funded or not , because the City could only
assess the benefit, not the cost. He stated that assessments
are not limited by the sources of the funding, and the issue
is one of City policy.
Jones Discusses RCWD and Sidewalk Issues
Douglas Jones informed the Council that Public Works Director
Larry Hamer is to meet on June 29th with representatives of
the City of New Brighton and the Rice Creek Watershed
District' s (RCWD) engineering firm to discuss the grant
project proposed by the RCWD which needs municipal support of
the affected communities . The RCWD will be asking for $3, 000
to $4, 000 from each municipality and the lake association to
participate in the grant project. He noted that, as an
alternative to the up-front contribution from each community,
state law provides that any watershed district can be
requested to make the necessary improvements and levy the
cost over the entire watershed district up to one third mil
for a period of 15 years .
Mr. Jones advised the Council that Silver Lake is heavily
impacted by runoff, particularly from Apache Shopping Center,
and said that St. Anthony could request that that problem be
dealt with immediately, whereas the grant project is looking
at doing a two-year feasibility study.

Acting City Manager VanderHeyden stated that she would be
attending the June 29th meeting in Mr. Hamer' s stead, and
that she was well informed about the problem and options for
dealing with it.
Council Member Enrooth asked what the source of funds for the
project would be. Mr. Jones responded that the grant project
is mainly funded by the State supplemented with funds from
each municipality along with other sources he was unable to
name. He added that after the two-year study was completed
the State :rust then be petitioned for another grant to
actually do the recommended work.
Mr. Jones stated that Silver Lake is an asset not only to the
people who live on the lake but to the community as a whole.
He further stated that runoff into the lake comes from more
than just one source and that the percentage from each source
has not been determined.
Acting City Manager VanderHeyden commented in response to
Council Member Enrooth' s question that the project is in the
early stages and that specific information is not immediately
forthcoming.
Mr. Jones suggested that St . Anthony look strongly at
expanding its sidewalk system, particularly on busy -roads,
some of which are State Aid roads designed to handle heavy
traffic. He said that a portion of the cost could even be
assessed to property owners because part of the benefit goes
to the property owner and part to the community as a whole.
Council Member Makowske expressed agreement with Mr. Jones' s
comments but stated that sidewalk projects were difficult to
pay for because of the City' s limited funds . Council Member
Ranallo also expressed concern about availability of funds to
maintain existing services, let alone expand upon thein.
Mr. Jones suggested that sidewalks be incorporated into new
development building plans in the future. Council Member
Makowske pointed out that such action had been taken by
working with the engineers when Kensington was developed.
ADJOURNMENT
Motion by Enrooth, seconded by Makowske, to adjourn the City
Council meeting at 9: 46 p.m.
