06 1. Happy's Potato Chips, 3900 Chandler Drive - Outside Storage.
17 Commissioner Franzese was present representing the Planning Commission. Franzese
18 reported that the Planning Commission had unanimously recommended the City Council
19 approve the addition of outside storage at Happy's Potato Chips, 3.900 Chandler Drive.
20 In response to Marks, City Manager stated that there is no public hearing required for the
21 request. The tanks are considered outside storage sheds and according to the light
22 industrial ordinance where Happy's is located, storage sheds that do not exceed one story
23 in height have to be approved by the Council and also have to be recommended by the
24 Planning Commission.

27 Motion carried unanimously
28 2. Thomas and Diane Schroeder, 3929 Fordham Drive request for:
29 a. Lot Coverage Variance.
30 Commissioner Franzese reported that the Planning Commission had unanimously
31 recommended City Council not grant a lot coverage variance for the property at 3929
Fordham Drive in that the hardships were not sufficient to grant a variance.
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
• November 22, 1994
Page 3
1 Franzese explained that the lot did not meet all four criteria for granting a variance in a
2 hardship case. She listed the four criteria necessary as follows: 1. The property cannot
3 be put to a reasonable use without the variance. 2. The circumstances causing the
4 hardship were not created by the owner. 3. The variance, if granted, will not alter the
5 essential character of the locality. 4. Economic considerations alone are not the basis of
6 the hardship. The Planning Commission noted that the lot was of substandard size. This
7 could meet the first requirement but the items related to the other three criteria involve
8 the owner and not the property.
9 Harry Schroeder, Tom Schroeder's father spoke on behalf of the applicants. He stated
10 that he was the architect that designed the proposed home that the Schroeder's would like
11 to build on the lot. He reported that the existing house was built in 1952. In 1963,the lot
12 was subdivided. The City Ordinance regarding lot coverage was not in place at that time.
13 The Schroeders purchased the house in 1991. He provided an overhead of a sketch of a
14 hypothetical house design which would fit on this lot and adhere to,the existing lot
15 coverage ordinance. The house could only be 975 square foot, allowing for a double
16 garage and driveway, to fit within the lot coverage ordinance. He stated this would not be
17 practical as the house would have no resale value. For this reason, the variance is
creating a special extraordinary circumstance. He stated that at this time, the approximate
value of the property is $60,000 with the lot being $20,000. If the scheduled plan is
20 implemented, the Schroeders would lose $40,000 due to the demolition. He stated that
21 the Schroeders have approached the owner of the land directly south, north, and east of
22 their lot but they have not been successful in purchasing any of this land. He stated that
23 the neighbors in the area, are enthusiastic about the Schroeders project. Referring to the
24 four criteria necessary to grant the variances,he stated that they were met as follows: 1.
25 The property cannot be put to reasonable use because a 975 square foot house would'not
26 be appropriate to St. Anthony and would not have a resale value, as such. 2. The
27 hardship was not created by the owner, as it was created when the land was subdivided 30
28 years ago. 3. The variance will not alter the essential character of the locality. 4. The
29 Schroeders in demolishing their existing home will experience a monetary loss, rather
30 than a monetary gain, so economic considerations are not the basis of the hardship.
31 Mr. Botnick,the owner of the property south,north and east of the Schroeder lot, stated
32 that he has been negotiating with Bill Nygard regarding a proposed construction
33 development on his land and Nygard is interested in the project. Mr. Reed, another
34 adjacent property owner had expressed interest in selling his house and the land behind.
35 He stated if Mr. Reed were to do this, Mr.Nygard could then buy both lots, demolish the
36 homes, and split the lots in two, selling a larger lot to the Schroeders. He felt this would
37 be a better solution for all involved but he has not yet received a commitment from Mr.
38 Reed or Mr.Nygard.

1 Harry Schroeder stated that the Schroeders needed to make a decision and start
2 construction by Spring of 1995. They cannot wait without some type of guarantee. He
3 stated that they would not be satisfied unless they had a closed purchase agreement on a
4 specific piece of property within 30 days.
5 Mayor Ranallo asked Mr. Botnick if there was a possibility that the Reed property would
6 be available within the next 30-60 days.
7 Botnick reported that Mr. Reed was unsure if he wanted to sell. He was looking for a
8 place to relocate that would suit his needs.
9 Ranallo expressed that he would like to see the Schroeders reconstruct their house and
10 remain in St. Anthony.
11 Fleming asked if it was possible that there could be an agreement reached within 30 days.
12 She stated that the variance process had been created to benefit the City of St. Anthony
13 not to stop something that will improve the city. She feels the Schroeders are going to
14 improve the city with their project.
1W City Attorney Soth stated that one problem with the granting of this variance is it would
16 set a precedence. The variance does not leave the city flexibility in these cases. The
1.7 variance would have to be in accordance with the criteria set up by State Statutes. It
18 would need to be shown that the property cannot be put to reasonable use by this owner
19 or any owner, without the variance being granted. The criteria must relate to the property
20 and not to the owner.
21 Diane Schroeder stated that they have been negotiating with Mr. Botnick for 3 years. She
22 reported that they have been waiting for a long time and nothing has happened. A 974
23 square foot house could not be made accessible for her being confined to a wheelchair as
24 it would have to be more than one level. She feels this is discriminatory, as the lot cannot
25 be put to reasonable use without the granting of the variance.
26 Mr. Kirk Larson, 3509 Maplewood Drive, spoke on behalf of the Schroeders. He was in
27 attendance at the.Planning Commission last week when the variance was recommended
28 for denial and the Schroeders were told their only choice was to go before the Council.
29 He feels that granting the variance would make sense for the community and for the
30 people involved. The only precedence that would be set, is to grant a lot ordinance
31 variance for a lot that is less than normal size. He feels that this would be a reasonable
32 precedence to set. He stated that it would send a message to the people, that the City of
33 St. Anthony is flexible and concerned about the people who live there. He feels the right
thing to do is grant the variance for the Schroeders.

2 the property at 3929 Fordham Drive for 3 weeks, until the next City Council Meeting, so

8 Ranallo directed the Schroeders to meet with City Manager Morrison and Larry Hamer to
9 determine what solutions were available to them for this situation.
10 3. Apache/CUB Foods/Knox Lumber.
11 a. Drainage Plan for Apache Plaza.
12 Mayor Ranallo reported that a petition was received from the Silver Lake
�4 3 Homeowners Association requesting the Environmental Quality Board, (EQB ),
determine if an Environmental Assessment Worksheet(EAW) was necessary.
15 Since last weeks Planning Commission meeting, the City has received a phone
16 call from the EQB designating the City as the Responsible Agency for
17 determining if an EAW is necessary. The Silver Lake Homeowners Association
18 has elected six people to a board which will meet with the City and the
19 Developers. Ranallo met with this board and they presented him with a list of
20 eleven items that they would like resolved. This list has been forwarded to the
21 city staff and developers. The items are as follows:
22 1. St. Anthony Village agrees to draft and introduce ordinance in the spring of
23 1995 or before that would eliminate the use of phosphorous from lawn
24 treatment in the Silver Lake Watershed. They would encourage Columbia
25 Heights and New Brighton to adopt a similar ordinance.
26 2. Removal of snow prior to snow melt to ponding area or to alternate location
27 outside Silver Lake Watershed ( City Ordinance or special use permit).
28 3. Monthly sweepings of parking lot during the rainy season. Daily inspection
29 maintenance,pick up waste material and clear weir after rainfalls) of the
30 parking lot.
31 4. Study and work towards implementation of low flow diversion at Silver Lake
32 and Silver Lake Road. Study and work to be funded by storm water fund if
33 RCWD will not fund.
345. Reactivate or resubmit petition for study of Silver Lake. Share funding with
05 RCWD and surrounding governmental units.

1 6. Construct swale along Silver Lake Road as engineered by RCWD. Future
2 development to meet RCWD water management standard.
3 7. Pond#1 Many alternatives not examined including, but not limited to,
4 passive use of RR right away, swale connection with pond#2, adaptive use
5 of parking lot for storm water storage, etc. Please propose increased ponding
6 capacity approaching NURP Standards (meet a 1" pond standard between
7 Pond#1 and Pond#2 ). Additional development other than increase by CUB
8 to 88,000 square feet in this watershed will require ponding to RCWD
.9 standards. (The passive use of RR right away gets us closer to NURP
10 standards).
11 8. Pond#3. Construct a pond that meets a 2" standard.
12 9. Maintain all ponds when 25% full or sooner.
13 10. Silver Lake Homeowners will construct a demonstration shoreline
14 management project on Silver Lake and encourage all residents, the Silver
15 Lake Salvation Army Camp and the City of Columbia Heights to participate
16 and adopt Best Management Practices.
17 11. St. Anthony Village will encourage Hardee's, Goodyear and the new muffler
18 shop to design their storm water run off to flow thru weir prior to entering the
9 Silver Lake storm sewer and to use BMP where feasible (especially when the
city is granting a permit).
21 Ranallo reported that the city staff and developers have been studying these items
22 to see which items are acceptable by all parties. The petition is still in place. He
23 reported that there had been a meeting scheduled between the involved parties but
24 it was cancelled when the list of 11 items was received as there was not enough
25 time for all of the parties to investigate the items properly. Another meeting has
26 not been set at this time. He reported of a meeting held last Thursday. City staff,
27 City Manager Mornson, Mayor Ranallo, Rice Creek Watershed District, their
28 directors and two attorneys, and Mr. Cavanaugh and his attorney were in
29 attendance. This meeting was to resolve issues and ask the Watershed District to
30 fund some of the items. Rice Creek Watershed staff did not recommend that the
31 Watershed do so.
32 Ronny Bergquist, owner of the Bookstore at Apache Plaza asked what type of a
33 delay this petition and resulting action could impose on the project.
34 Mayor Ranallo stated that it could take up to 90 days and cost$40,000 to $50,000,
35 if the city is required to do the EAW. He stated that the city does have the right to
36 deny the petition at the recommendation of the City Attorney. The City Attorney
37 and C. G. Rein are looking into this possibility.

1 City Attorney Soth reported that he needed to receive the appropriate paperwork
2 from the Engineering Attorney of Apache Plaza. If Apache does not require the
3 EAW, they need to show evidence of this.
4 Marks expressed that the city as a whole wants the project. He stated that it
5 would greatly improve not only the community,but also the city taxes, and the
6 school district. He feels that the school district and Apache Plaza are the two
7 anchors in St. Anthony. The referendum for the school district was not passed
8 and Apache Plaza is failing. He stated that the project was not only necessary for
9 financial reasons, but also for environmental reasons. He stated that the holding
10 ponds have always been an important part of the development but that there also
11 must be balance. The Tax Increment Funding has been found and the City
12 Ordinances have been met. He wondered how far the city had to go to get the
13 project. He stated that the City of St. Anthony needs to get this project.
14 Ranallo reported that the Rice Creek Watershed meets tomorrow night but they
15 have to table the discussion regarding this issue, as they will not have all the
16 necessary information before them. There is a special city council meeting
467 scheduled for November 29 at 6:30 P.M. to discuss the EAW. The Rice Creek
8 Watershed District will then meet on November 30th to discuss the issues.
19 Fleming stated that the city has to all pull together for this project. She
20 questioned how the city can all pull together now if there is a petition filed that is
21 stopping the project.
22 Wagner stated that the city has demonstrated their interest in cleaning up Silver
23 Lake even before there was a proposed addition of CUB Foods and Knox at
24 Apache Plaza. They have now committed Tax Increment Financing in the amount
25 of$250,000. He feels the city is making a huge effort in this project.
26 Ranallo reported that they will be holding the special council meeting November
27 29th and asking the city attorney to get all the necessary information by that date.
28 The city will try to work with the people who live on Silver Lake,to get the
29 petition withdrawn and if this is not possible, they will be forced to go the legal
30 route. He reported that only 23 of the 50 households,who live on the lake signed
31 the petition.
32 City Attorney Soth stated that the 11 points submitted by the Silver Lake
33 Homeowners Association were not all directly involved with the Apache
34 Plaza development project. He stated that the project should not be held
hostage to the issues that were not directly related to it. The only items
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
• November 22, 1994
Page 8
1 that should be affecting this project are the items directly related to the
2 project.
3 City Council consensus was reached to review this item, drainage plan for Apache
4 Plaza, until November 29, 1994 at the Special Council Meeting.
5 b. Apache ( C. G. Rein Company)Request for Subdivision Approval for CUB

32 c. CUB Foods Variance Request.
33 Commissioner Franzese reported that the Planning Commission has unanimously
recommended that Council approve the setback variances for the CUB
redevelopment, specifically the 15 foot setback variance on the north end of the
36 CUB property. The hardships were found for the following reasons: 1. With the
37 60 foot Uniform Building Code normal separation,the property cannot be put to
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes

Page 9
1 reasonable use without this variance. 2. The circumstances are not created by the
2 owner of the property. 3. This will not.alter the essential character of the locality.

14 south entrance of the center, from Silver Lake Road. This sign will be 15 feet
15 long and 12 feet wide. Herbergers is proposing a monument sign at the north
16 entrance of the center. Apache Plaza is anticipating development of a fast food

1 Bill Mackey, CUB Foods, stated that they look forward to getting the project
2 under construction. He said CUB was pleased with the reception they received at
3 the Planning Commission meeting last week. He feels there is a lot of support in
4 the community for the project. CUB appreciates the support and looks forward to
5 working with St. Anthony.
6 Kim Johnson, 3304 Skycroft Drive, reported that earlier this year,he served on
7 the Economic Redevelopment Task Force Commission. Their mission was to
8 look at undeveloped or underdeveloped areas in St. Anthony. He stated that his
9 initial personal view at the time, was that Apache Plaza would best be suited for
10 residential purposes. He has since changed his mind. He fully supports the
11 redevelopment project now. He states he is also a member of the school board.
12 Apache Plaza is a major contributor in the school abatement. He supports the
13 City Council and thanked them for their leadership in this project. He stated that
14 he has met with several members of the school board and they are in.full support
15 of the CUB Foods and Knox Lumber project. They feel it is best for the city, the
16 school district and the general community.
07 Ranallo stated that the City Council will be working hard next week to get the
8 petition withdrawn and get the residents on the lake to agree to some other plan.
19 To date, the City has obligated $250,000 to.improve lake quality by 20% and
20 catch 75-78% of Apache Plaza run-off with the proposed 3 ponds. He reported
21 that this is the maximum monetary amount the City can afford. Until now, all TIF
22 programs have been funded for ten years. This project, due to delays-and
23 increased interest rates has been extended to 17 years. If it were allowed to go
24 any further, it would endanger the City. Ranallo assured CUB Foods and Knox
25 that something will be done next week to resolve these issues. He encouraged
26 residents of St. Anthony to talk to the homeowners on Silver Lake and ask them
27 to withdraw the petition. Ranallo commended Commissioner Horst for his article
28 to the editor of the Northeaster and the St. Anthony Bulletin. He stated that it is
29 necessary for all the citizens of St. Anthony to put the benefits of the entire
30 community before the benefits of one person.
31 Jim Hoska, 3209 31st Avenue N.E.,thanked the City Council, City Attorney and
32 Planning Commission for all the work they have done for this project. He
33 encouraged the City Council to get Apache "up and running".
34 B. Mayor.
35 Mayor Ranallo reported that this year is St. Anthony's 50th year anniversary. The first
406 event to be held in celebration of the anniversary will be a prayer service which will be
7 held on January 17th. All the churches in St. Anthony will be involved in the prayer
38 service. He hopes that this annual prayer service will continue every year. The second
39 event will be the annual community dance, held at Apache Plaza on February 12th.
