22 VII. REPORTS.
23 A. Planning Commission - August 19 1997.
24 Planning Commissioner Chris Makowske was present to report on the issues addressed at the
25 August 19, 1997 Planning Commission meeting.
26 1. Rick Lorenz, for 3821 Foss Road; Side Yard Setback Variance Request.
27 Commissioner Makowske reported the Planning Commission held a public hearing on August
28 19 to consider a side yard variance request for Rick Lorenz, 3821 Foss Road. He reported
29 this is a long and somewhat narrow lot. There currently is a tri-plex on the lot and Mr.
30 Lorenz would like to construct an addition, converting the building to a four-plex with a
31 double car tuck-under garage. He is also planning to add a 10 x 20 storage room on the back
32 of the proposed addition. Mr. Lorenz is also planning to remove an existing storage building
33 to the east of the proposed addition, thereby reducing the lot coverage and getting rid of an
34 old building to improve the storm water drainage of the property.
35 Commissioner Makowske reported that the Planning Commission had difficulty finding a
36 hardship to support the granting of the variance. The Commission did not believe that
37 economic consideration was the primary motivation as the owner lives at the property. The
Commission and the neighbors of the property noted that Mr. Lorenz has improved the
qF9 grounds since he bought the property and has been a good neighbor. Without the setback
40 variance, this would be a wonderful project.

1 Commissioner Makowske reported that Commissioner Franzese made a motion to approve the
2 variance which died for lack of a second. The Planning Commission eventually voted to deny
3 the petition for variance (4-1; 2 Commissioners were absent).
4 Councilmember Faust questioned the zoning and also if a site plan had been presented to the
5 Planning Commission.
6 Commissioner Makowske stated that the property was zoned R-4. He then displayed the site
7 plan on the overhead screen and described the site.
8 Mr. Lorenz, 3821 Foss Road, stated the north side of his property abutted the back side of the
9 St. Anthony Self-Storage. He has received no complaints from the owner of that property.
10 He stated one hardship was a problem with flooding in the lower unit of the tri-plex. During
11 a'heavy rainfall the water pools in the area of the storage building and flows into the lower
12 . unit. He stated he has spent a lot of money and time on this problem.
13 Councilmember Marks asked if the area of the storage building was partially filled in by a
14 previous owner. Mr. Lorenz stated he believed it was filled with a lot of large rocks that are
15 beginning to surface in the area.
Mr. Lorenz stated another hardship was that he did not have a garage. The proposal would
OP7 also provide enough area on the asphalt so that each owner could have two parking spaces.
18 Mr. Lorenz explained that he had three different plans drawn for the site and this plan was the
19 best. There was an oak tree behind the tri-plex which precluded building in that area and the
20 south side of the lot was too low.
21 Marks commented that there was nothing particularly unusual about the shape of the property.
22 Mr. Lorenz noted that there was a berm around three sides of the property which caused
23 problems during a heavy rainfall.
24 Councilmember Faust questioned why Mr'. Lorenz would want to build an addition on a lot
25 which was already experiencing a water problem.
26 Mr. Lorenz stated the water problem was on the south side of the lot, not the north side
27 where the proposed addition would occur. With removal of the old storage building the flood
28 plain would be enlarged to allow ponding which would then drain away in the existing six
29 inch PVC piping.
30 Marks asked if the southeast portion of the property was used. He also questioned if the
31 garage could be built without a variance if it was moved further east and south on the site.

1 Mr. Lorenz stated that the open grassy area on the southeast portion of the site was used for
2 recreational purposes by the tenants of the building. The garage could not be moved to the
3 east and south as there was a hundred year old oak tree in that area.
4 Marks stated the location of the tree was not justification for granting of a variance.
5 Mayor Ranallo noted that this addition would increase the value of the property and that a
6 variance cannot be granted for the purpose of economic gain.
7 Mr. Lorenz stated he did not believe he would gain any equity in the property.
8 Marks asked if the garage could be built on the south side of the property.
9 Mr. Lorenz stated the ground was too low on the south side of the property. He noted he had
10 three drawings of the proposal at home.
11 Faust questioned if all possible options had been considered. He asked if all the plans had
12 been submitted to Staff.
13 Acting City Manager Moore-Sykes stated she was aware of one other plan being presented to
the Public Works Director. He had stated that plan would not work.
15 Faust noted the Council is constrained by the State Statutes and is required to demonstrate
16 that the variance meets the requirements and that there is an undue hardship. This property
17 currently is being utilized without a variance. He suggested Mr. Lorenz work with City Staff
18 and investigate other options for the addition.
19 Mr. Lorenz stated he would withdraw the petition for the side yard setback variance for 3821
20 Foss Road and work with City Staff to determine an alternate solution for the addition.
21
22 2. Ordinance 1997-006, re: Signage for Professional Buildings ( 1st Reading ).
23 Commissioner Makowske reported the proposed amendment to Chapter 14, Signs, adds a
24 definition of a Professional Building to the City's Ordinance and includes Professional
25 Buildings in the requirements for a Comprehensive Sign Plan. The Ordinance has been
26 reviewed and approved by the City Attorney.
27 Section 1., Chapter 14, Section 1400.04, Definitions, of the City Code will be amended to add
28 the following: "Subd. 36 Professional Building. Any multi-story building of 50,000 square
29 feet or more occupied by professional service oriented businesses, such as legal, clinical or
30 health care related retail or service establishments-with parking provided on the tract.of land
31 for use in common by patrons and occupants."
Section 2., Chapter 14, Section 1400.09, Subd. 5, Signs Requiring Permits, would be amended
qP3 to add "Professional Buildings" in the title and ", strip mall, or professional building" in the
34 contents of the subdivision.

1 Commissioner Makowske explained this ordinance would allow buildings such as the Apache
2 Medical Building to utilize a Comprehensive Sign Plan which would be subject to approval
3 by the City Council and administered by the owner of the property.
4 Commissioner Makowske commended City Staff and tenants of the Apache Medical Building
5 who had worked together with the Planning Commission to arrive at this solution.
6 Motion by Marks, second by Faust to approve the 1st reading of Ordinance 1997-006, an
7 Ordinance relating to signs, amending Chapter 14 of the 1993 St. Anthony Code of
8 Ordinances, by adding Subd. 36 to Section 1400.04; and by amending Section 1400.09, Subd.
9 5. -
10
11 Motion carried unanimously.
12 Commissioner Makowske reported the Planning Commission also held a concept review for
13 St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church Addition. They are proposing to add a gathering space
14 between the church and the convent. There are several issues in regard to this request
15 including a conditional use permit, lot coverage, a backyard setback variance, and a variance
16 for 200 parking spaces.
Commissioner Makowske noted the church was constructed prior to the current City
108' requirements being in place. It may be appropriate to deal with this issue with a variance. It
19 may also be appropriate to consider a change to the Ordinance requirements for churches'as
20 various other churches are experiencing the same problems.
21 Commissioner Makowske stated the Planning Commission is always available to help the City
22 Council with other drainage issues in the City. He asked that the Council contact the
23 Commission if there were any areas where they could use assistance.
24 B. Councilmembers.
25 Wagner noted the August 1997 Minnesota Cities issue which is published by the League of
26 Minnesota Cities. The issue is devoted largely to the Healthy Youth/Healthy Community
27 Organization and includes articles on such topics as youth assets, connecting with kids, and
28 measuring assets of City schools. He stated he would see that all members of the Board of
29 ACTION receive a copy. He also recommended that all Councilmembers read the
30 publication.
31 Faust reported his attendance at the task force meeting of the League of Minnesota Cities
32 Fiscal Futures Committee. New policies and proposed new policies for the upcoming
33 legislative session were discussed. Faust stated the Committee has a better focus this year and
34 will work better with the legislature. He noted that there was also a presentation at that
35 meeting by Lyle Wray, Executive Director of the Citizen's League. Mr. Wray discussed
urban sprawl and the subsidies and costs associated with that.

1 Marks reported his attendance at the Parks Task Force meeting on August 18, 1997. The
2 Task Force began compiling a catalogue of all the actions that go on in the parks and
3 discussed the proposed plans. It was noted that the City has half the number of parks that
4 would be expected for a City of their population. Marks also noted that all the parks, with
5 one minor exception, are located east of Silver Lake Road.
6 Enrooth reported his attendance at the wrap up meeting of VillageFest on August 18, 1997:
7 The economic aspect was good with the silent.auction and kid's games doing well. Many of
8 the previous VillageFest members have volunteered for other committees with almost all
9 committees staffed for next year except the chairman position. Enrooth reported the
10 electricity for the event worked well and lessened-the burden on the generators. The date set
11 for the 1998 VillageFest is August 1.
12 Enrooth reported that the damage to City parks is continuing, with Emerald Park in particular.
13 The City has been forced to close the restrooms as partitions have been removed, mirrors
14 taken, and toilet paper set on fire. This is an ongoing problem which is occurring almost
15 weekly.
16
17 C. Mayor.
18 Mayor Ranallo reported he and City Manager had attended the legislative hearings on August
14, 1997. They had thought they would be allowed to testify but the only person allowed to
0 testify was the Mayor of East Grand Forks. Ranallo reported that since that meeting he had
21 received a call from Representative Vento's office regarding federal funds. Residents can
22 apply for grants for temporary housing, etc. Ramsey County Commissioner Weisner is also
23 still working to determine the availability of funding for residents.
24 Ranallo reported he had spoken with the owners of Town and Country Foods and the location
25 is up for rent or sale. The owner was originally asking a price of$1.2 million. Ranallo
26 stated that he pointed out that the property did not have that high of a value. The owner is
27 currently attempting to get a price of at least $1. million or they will rent out the site.
28 D. Acting City Manager.
29 Moore-Sykes reported she has worked on the flooding issue most of the week. The League
30 of Minnesota Cities has indicated that the City of St. Anthony has made all the efforts that the
31 City of St. Paul and Minneapolis have made with the exception of receiving any private
32 donations. They reported that the monies received by donation are being held in a trust fund
33 for eligible people and will be dispersed by volunteers.
34 Mayor Ranallo reported that OPUS and Walmart are currently meeting to try to work
35 something out for locating at Apache Plaza.
VIII. PUBLIC HEARINGS.
7 Anthony Kaczor, 3008-33rd Avenue, thanked the City Council for saving the trees located on
38 the south end of the tennis courts. He also noted that one tree was lost near the City Hall.

1 Sue Kozarek, 4029 Shamrock,.stated she had reached FEMA today via the following number:
2 1-800-462-9029. She stated residents can apply for SBA low interest loans and disaster home
3 grants. She has applied for both. The application process is ten minutes and then a packet
4 will be sent to applicants and received within seven to ten days.
5 Mayor Ranallo reported that John VanHecke, Representative Vento's office, has stated that
6 there may be a shortcut to obtaining funds for homes that contain damage on the first floor
7 and above. These people may receive assistance in the form of outright funds. The
8 legislature has stated that the most money in the State of Minnesota will be given to the Fire
9 and Police Stations of East Grand Forks and that nothing will be given for damage to "non-
10 livable areas".
11 Ms. Kozarek stated she had also contacted Representative Marty's Office to obtain
12 information as to what was included in the recently passed Bill.
13 Mayor Ranallo stated that all the funds in the Bill will be given to East Grand Forks. The
14 House of Representatives did come back and put some funds in for the metropolitan area but
15 the City still has no information on that.
16 Ms. Kozarek stated that when the Flood Task Force was originally formed in July the City
Council asked for volunteers. One resident who did not volunteer but did speak to the
8 Council at their last meeting is Dennis Cavanaugh. She stated that at that meeting, the Mayor
19 verbally invited Mr. Cavanaugh to be a member of the Task Force. She stated that she would
20 like to formally request that Mr. Cavanaugh be allowed to volunteer to be a member of the
21 Task Force. She reported that 10 of the 12 members of the Task Force had gotten together
22 this past week and feel that they want him to join as he has valuable information and access
23 to legal information that other members do not have.
24 Mayor Ranallo corrected Ms. Kozarek that he had not verbally invited Mr. Cavanaugh to be a
25 member of the Task Force but had questioned why he was not a member. He asked who had
26 convened the recent meeting of the Task Force.
27 Ms. Kozarek stated it was not a real meeting. They had only gotten together to discuss their
28 frustrations with the first meeting of the Task Force. The members felt they were not able to
29 have any input.
30 Councilmembers Enrooth and Faust noted they and Acting City Manager Moore-Sykes were
31 not invited to the meeting of the Task Force which was held last week.
32 Ms. Kozarek stated this meeting was the citizens getting together. It was not a formal
33 meeting.
Mayor Ranallo stated that this is a City appointed Task Force and all meetings where there is
5 a quorum have to be announced and open to the public. He stated that the results of the
36 meeting that he has heard lead him to believe that it was a formal meeting.

2 Ms. Kozarek stated that the citizens wanted to make sure that they had the information for the
3 engineer because they did not feel like they were able to have any input. They want the
4 information to be brought forward and the meeting not to be bogged down.
5 Mayor Ranallo stated that the Task Force is in control of the meeting.
6 Ms. Kozarek stated that the citizens had requested to meet more often than once per month.
7 Moore-Sykes stated that the facilitator had stated that this was not possible because the
8 necessary information would not be available earlier than one month. She also stated the
9 Open Meeting Law may be applicable in this situation and the City Attorney is looking into
10 the situation. As the Task Force was appointed by the City Council, the members may have
11 liability under the Law.
12 John Kuharski, 2709 Pahl Avenue NE, stated this was an informal meeting and no votes were
13 taken. The Task Force would like to meet more often and felt that they were pushed off by
14 City Staff and Councilmembers. Mr. Kuharski complained that at the first meeting of the
15 Task Force no minutes were taken and the input of the citizens was not even recorded by the
16 facilitator. The facilitator controlled the whole meeting.
07 Enrooth asked why the Task Force members had not brought their concerns to the attention of
18 City Manager or Management Assistant.
19 Mr. Kuharski stated he had raised his concerns at the first Task Force meeting.
20 Bob Lohmar, 2512 St. Anthony Road, stated he felt the City Council was getting irritated
21 because they had asked the Task Force to do something and now members were asking for
22 feedback. He stated he had requested information from Management Assistant the day after
23' he applied for the Task Force and he still has not received it. He stated the Task Force
24 should have all the information available so that they can do the job they are supposed to.
25 Mayor Ranallo stated he was not aware that Mr. Lohmar had not received the information he
26 had requested.
27 Mr. Kuharski questioned how members of the Task Force could have liability if their legal
28 duties were not explained to them. He noted that six or seven members of the Task Force
29 were present at another meeting in regard to the flooding. He felt that volunteers should be
30 able to speak to anyone interested. He stated he did not sign anything accepting any liability.
31 He noted the facilitator had mentioned a mission statement at the first Task Force meeting but
32 then it was dropped and never talked of again.
Mayor Ranallo stated his concern that the first Task Force meeting did not go the way the
s4 members wanted it to and the Council was not made aware of it until now. He noted that the
35 Planning Commission is a volunteer Commission and they are required to post their meetings.

• Page 9
1 Mr. Kuharski asked if this requirement was explained to them. He stated that as a member of
2 the Task Force he was never made aware of this requirement. He stated it seemed like the
3 Council was telling the Task Force members that they had done a bad thing and they were in
4 trouble.
5 Mayor Ranallo stated that the Task Force had to be careful that all of their meetings were
6 posted. If they have another meeting they have to be certain that all members of the Task
7 Force are invited.
8 Faust noted that all the members of the Task Force were not invited to this meeting.
9 Mr. Kuharski stated that every non-elected resident was invited.
10 Enrooth stated that it appeared that this subverted the process of establishing the Task Force.
11 Mr. Kuharski stated he felt the process was subverted at the first meeting and the residents
12 were only trying to fix it. He stated if the City was doing their job they would have
13 explained the Task Force members duties at the first meeting. He questioned the Management
14 Assistant's role on the Task Force.
Moore-Sykes explained that she was the Staff liaison and was available to help with questions
10'6 or provide information.
17 Mayor Ranallo addressed the question of Mr. Cavanaugh being appointed to the Task Force.
18 The Park Task Force had requested that an additional member be added and the Council
19 denied the request as the application period had been opened and closed. That person chose
20 not to make it an issue as he could still attend the meetings.
21 Mr. Kuharski questioned when the application period for the Flood Task Force had been
22 opened and closed. He noted it was closed the day before a Council meeting but his wife
23 attended the meeting and mentioned.that he wanted to be on the Task Force and he was
24 accepted after the cut-off date. He also noted that Jane Hintz had been appointed a couple of
25 days after he was.
26 Mayor Ranallo noted that Mr. Kuharski and Ms. Hintz were mentioned and part of the
27 appointment the evening of the Council meeting.
28 Mr. Kuharski stated he could name at least three people who were appointed after the cut-off
29 date.
30 Enrooth stated the others were appointed to obtain the desired twelve members.
•1 Mr. Kuharski asked if the second cut-off date was published.
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
August 26, 1997
• Page 10
1 Mayor Ranallo stated that the cut-off date was the day before the Council meeting. The night
2 of the Council meeting Mrs. Kuharski mentioned that Mr. Kuharski wished to be on the Task
3 Force and Ms. Hintz also expressed a desire. The Council stated that if the applications were
4 received the next day, these residents would be appointed.
5 Wagner noted the names were verbally entered into the record.
6 Mr. Lohmar questioned why the Management Assistant was on the Task Force. She does not
7 even live in the City. He stated that she is Staff and should not be on the Task Force. He
8 stated the Council was intimidated by Mr. Cavanaugh's knowledge.
9 Faust noted that there needs to be someone present to take requests and answer questions.
10 Mr. Cavanaugh stated this is why the City Manager is there.
11 Marks stated his personal view was that if residents wanted to volunteer for the Task Force
12 the Council should let them. He noted that there may be others who would also like to
13 volunteer. He suggested that the positions should be advertised.
14 Enrooth noted there had been others in attendance at the first Task Force meeting who had
asked if they could participate. They had been told that the objective of twelve Task Force
*16 members had been achieved. If additional members were being considered it should be open
17 to any others interested. He noted additional members could conceivably extend the process.
18 Mr. Kuharski stated he would mention that the application process would be opened again at
19 the Task Force meeting.
20 Mayor Ranallo stated it would be published. He stated he objected to Mr. Lohmar's comment
21 in regard to Mr. Cavanaugh. He had never stated that he did not want Mr. Cavanaugh on the
22 Task Force in fact he had questioned why he wasn't on the Task Force. He stated in order to
23 be fair the application process would have to be reopened.
24 Mr. Lohmar asked if one of the members could resign and Mr. Cavanaugh could be appointed
25 in their place.
26 Mayor Ranallo stated that if the process was open, it must be open to all residents.
27 Mr. Cavanaugh apologized for not applying for the Task Force in the first place. The reason
28 he would like to be on the Task Force is that he feels the short-term issues are not being
29 addressed. He expressed concern that opening the application process would slow the work of
30 the Task Force. New members would not be in attendance at a meeting until the end of
31 September. He asked if he would be allowed to stand as a resource to the Task Force in a
manner similar to that of the Management Assistant.

1 Mayor Ranallo stated this was not possible. He recommended that an article appear on the
2 front page of the Bulletin on September 2 and the application process would close on
3 September 8, with appointments made on September 9, 1997. Ranallo stated that a member
4 of the Planning Commission and the School Board should also be included on the Task Force.
5 He noted that if changes were proposed to Central Park this could also include property which
6 belonged to the school and not the City.
7 Mr. Cavanaugh stated that it was incumbent upon the City to lay out the Open Meeting Law
8 to the citizens that volunteered for committees. He stated that freedom of speech is still a
9 fundamental right. He felt the recent Task Force meeting was only a group of citizens that is
10 well energized and well intentioned sitting down to strategize as citizens.
11 Mr. Kuharski recommended that a member of the Planning Commission and School Board be
12 appointed to the Task Force this evening so as not to slow down the process.
13 Mayor Ranallo stated this was not possible. Commissioner Makowske stated he planned to
14 attend the Task Force meeting as an observer.
15 Motion by Marks, second by Faust to publish the reopening of the application process to the
16 Flood Task Force and publish the opening in the Bulletin on September 2, 1997 with a
closing date of September 8, 1997 and appointment at the September 9, 1997 City Council
qP8 meeting.
19 Motion carried unanimously.
20 Mary Ann Kuharski, 2709 Pahl Avenue NE, stated she had not been at the recent Task Force
21 meeting. She stated she felt the meeting had resulted out of the frustration felt by the affected
22 residents who had to deal with this issue on a daily basis. The affected residents would like
23 this process to move forward quickly. She stated she did not want the Task Force members
24 to leave this meeting with the fear that there may be legal ramifications.
25 Wagner stated the Council was by no means trying to threaten the Task Force members.
26 There were however, concerns raised by the City Attorney.
27 Mr. Kuharski asked if the meeting could be considered a work session.
28 Mayor Ranallo stated that work sessions also were required to be posted.
