City Council Regular Meeting Minutes • October 28, 1997 Page 2 1 B. Ron Hansen, re: Signage in the City. 2 Ron Hansen, 3220 Belden Drive, stated he was present this evening as he was a long time 3 advocate of good signage in the City and he believed that there have been a lot of things done 4 lately which are destroying the good image of the City of St. Anthony. He then distributed 5 pictures of signage at various locations in the City. He noted that the City had spent a lot of 6 money to create the new signage code and owes it to the taxpayers to do a better job policing the 7 code. Of the pictures distributed he called attention to signage on New Brighton Boulevard at the 8 entrance to the City, a Rapid Oil Change banner, and a sign at the Stonehouse. 9 Mr. Hansen stated that the issue that prompted him to be present this evening is the dental office 10 of Dr. Osterbauer located at 3525 33rd Avenue. On September 14, 1997, the sign on this I I building was removed. Mr. Hansen then contacted the Public Works Director and Management 12 Assistant and asked them to please investigate the situation to determine if the proposed signage 13 was in conformance with the new signage ordinance. Mr. Hansen stated that he called the City 14 twelve times between September 14 and October 4, 1997, when the new signage was installed. 15 Mr. Hansen stated that during one call to Management Assistant, he was told that the matter had 16 been discussed with the City Attorney and the City Attorney had stated that the signage was in 17 conformance. Upon the Management Assistant stating that she did not have time to pursue the 18 issue, it was turned over to the City Manager. At this pont, Mr. Hansen asked if he could be 19 placed on the Council agenda to address the issue. 20 Mr.Hansen noted a Ietter from City Attorney William Soth dated October 23, 1997. This letter 21 does not address the question of conformance with the new sign ordinance but addresses the 22 issues of expansion of a non-confornung structure as addressed in Section 1660, 23 The request from Dr. Osterbauer included the addition of a 60 square foot fit monument sign 24 rather than the previous 2 by 2 foot sign, and also a wall sign. This request for additional signage 25 clearly required a variance and a public hearing, and is an important issue to the people that live in 26 the area and pay taxes. He noted that the application for this signage was not even in 27 conformance with the code. He also noted that Councilmember Enrooth's campaign signs were 28 not in compliance with the Ordinance. 29 30 Mr. Hansen stated that the new signage is larger than the signage for Apache Medical Center and 31 a nearby church. He noted that the ordinance allows for Inspection p ction of signs which are permitted, 32 He asked if the City performs inspections and if so, is there written documentation of the 33 inspection results. 34 Morrison stated the City performs inspections on major projects. 35 Mr. Hansen noted that if the footings are loose or if the electrical is incorrectly installed at 3525 36 33rd Avenue, there is a possibility of injury. He stated he was present this evening to make an 37 appeal of an alleged error in the determination made in enforcement of the ordinance in regard to • City Council Regular Meeting Minutes October 28, 1997 Page 3 1 the new sign at 3525 33rd Avenue. He asked that the wrong done on the sign at that location be . 2 corrected. 3 Mr. Hansen then noted that the City Cable Channel IS frequently contains outdated information. 4 He stated that the Council meetings should-be on Cable so that residents could hear what is going 5 on. He asked who was responsible for updating the channel. 6 Mornson stated he was responsible for updating the channel. 7 Mr. Hansen noted that there have been times when the channel has not been updated for over 8 three months. He suggested the City had an opportunity to make residents aware of what is 9 happening in the City and encouraged them to use the Cable Channel. 10 Mr. Hansen stated that he would like a written synapsis of what had happened with the sign at 11 3525 33rd Avenue. He would like to know why a non-conforming sign was allowed to be 12 constructed on this site. He would expect this feedback in a timely manner. 13 City Attorney, William Soth, stated that in his letter of October 23, 1997, he had responded to the 41 issue of whether a sign could be placed on a non-conforming use. He stated he had not been furnished with any information in regard to the size of the signage and whether it conformed to 16 this requirement. 17 There was Council direction to Staff to work with the City Attorney and develop a report of what 18 had occurred in regard to the signage at 3525 33rd Avenue. 19 Wagner commented that there are"temporary" signs placed in the City which remain too long. 20 This is an issue that needs to be policed. 21 Enrooth noted that he had placed his campaign signs based on the information that was provided 22 to him. 23 24 C. Presentation of a Retirement PlAQUe to Stema Koes. 30 ire EmRlovee ndth the 25 Mayor Ranallo reported that Steve Koes,who has been employed with the City of St. Anthony , 26 since 1967, will be retiring at the end of the month. He noted that Mr. Koes had also served as.a 27 volunteer fire fighter for the City during that time. He presented Mr. Koes with a Retirement 28 Platue in appreciation of his outstanding and faithful service'to the City of St. Anthony. An Open 29 House will be held in honor of 1&. Koes on Friday, October 31 at 2:00 P.M. at City Mall. Mayor 30 Ranallo thanked Mr. Koes for all the service he.had done for St. Anthony and noted it had been a 31 pleasure working with Mr. Koes. Mr. Koes thanked the City of St. Anthony. 34 VI.

REPORTS. 27 A Planning Commission- October 21, 1997 28 Planning Commissioner Richard Horst was present to report on the issues addressed at the 29 October 21, 1997, Planning Commission meeting. There were no public hearings at that meeting. 30 The Commission did consider a concept review of the Salvation Army Silver Lake Camp long 31 range plan and a proposed townhome construction at 33rd Avenue and Stinson Boulevard. The 32 townhome project will require a variance which will be presented at the November Planning 33 Commission meeting. 34 Marks asked if a map had been provided which illustrated the location of the buildings for the 35 Silver Lake Camp and if any of the proposed buildings were located near the shoreline. 36 Horst stated that the long range plan included renovation in locations where buildings are 37 currently located. • City Council Regular Meeting Minutes October 28, 1997 Page 5 1 Faust commented that the Silver Lake Camp has had a master plan in place since the mid 1980'x. 2 All of the buildings located there are in conformance with shoreline requirements. 3 1. Ordinance 1997-011, re: Lot Coverage and Parking for Schools, Churches, 4 Temples and Synagogues. 5 Planning Commissioner Horst,reported that the Commission had considered the proposed 6 amendment to the Zoning Ordinance re: Schools, Churches, Temples and Synagogues. After 7 lengthy discussion,the Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the amendment 8 to the Ordinance per Ms. Moore-Sykes memo of September 23 and including the minor wording 9 changes discussed. 10 Marks questioned the 35% lot coverage requirement. I 1 Horst explained that the 35% lot coverage did not pertain to permitted and permitted conditional 12 uses as listed in Section 1615.05. Those uses will are addressed in Subd. 9 Building to Land 13 Ratio. The impervious surfaces, such as the parking area, are not included in the building to lot 14 ratio. Marks clarified that the sidewalks and landscaping which used plastic ground coverings were also 06 not included in the building to land ratio. 17 City Attorney Soth noted he had reviewed proposed Ordinance 1997-011. Subdivisions 9 and 10 18 of Section 1615.05 remain unchanged, but he had revised the other paragraphs of the ordinance 19 considerably in an effort to make them clearer and more specific. 20 Mayor Ranallo noted that this ordinance requires only one reading for approval. 21 Motion by Wagner, second by Marks to approve Ordinance 1997-011, relating to zoning and land 22 use; establishing regulations for non-residential uses in the R-1 District amending Sections 23 1605.0 1, Subd. 44; 1615.05; and 1650.05, Subd. 1(f), of the 1993 St. Anthony Code of 24 Ordinances. 25 26 Motion carried unanimousily. 27 Mayor Ranallo noted that St. Charles Borromeo Church would still require a conditional use 28 permit. He asked when the Church would be soliciting bids. 29 Gerry Dezelar, architect for St. Charles Borromeo Church, stated the intent is to solicit bids for 30 the addition to the Church and obtain a building permit the first part of November. Mayor Ranallo requested that St. Charles go out for bids pending approval by the City of the 402 conditional use permit. 33 Mr. DeZelar agreed to this. City Council Regular Meeting Minutes • October 28, 1997 Page 6 1 B. Councilmembers. 2 Marks reported that negotiations continue for the visit of members of the"Hans"Band from Selo, 3 Finland in the Spring of 1998. Approximately 35 people are expected and the Sister Committee is 4 currently looking for host families. Marks asked that if anyone is interested in being a host family, 5 they contact him or City Hall. 6 Faust reported his attendance at the Storm Water Task Force meeting last Wednesday. The Task 7 Force gave direction to the hydraulic engineer and will meet again on December 2, 1997. This 8 will allow the engineer time to gather information in regard to the thirteen areas. 9 Wagner reported his attendance at the Park Task Force meeting on October 20, 1997. The Task 10 Force is requesting that the City Council approve construction of a tot lot immediately behind the I 1 community services portion of the City Hall. This will provide a play area for children in the 12 community, meet therequirements by law, and fulfill the promise made by the City. The Task 13 Force would also like to locate a larger, multi-age equipment playground near the water tower. 14 Wagner noted that there are many options being considered for Central Park and the decision 15 process may take quite some time. The space for location of the tot lot is available. The tot lot 16 would affect the size of a major ballfield in Central Park but not a minor ballfield. 17 Motion by Wagner, second by Enrooth to authorize the construction of a 5,000 square foot tot lot 18 near the community services behind the City Nall. 19 Motion carried unanimously. 20 Mayor Ranallo noted that the funds for the tot lot have been set aside in the budget. 21 Enrooth reported his attendance at a neighborhood meeting in regard to the project on 33rd 22 Avenue. At the meeting, the residents questioned if it is the intention of the City to plow the 23 sidewalks on 33rd Avenue to Highcrest. 24 Mayor Ranallo stated that the City currently plows the sidewalk and intends to continue. 25 Faust asked if this was a City policy. 26 There was Council direction for Staff to determine if plowing of the sidewalks is a City policy or 27 just an accepted and understood practice. 28 C. or. 29 Mayor Ranallo reported his attendance at Wilshire Park School to explain.government to the 30 children. This was a well attended event. • • City Council Regular Meeting Minutes October 28, 1997 Page 7 1. Mayor Ranallo reported that today,he and the Chamber of Commerce met with interested senior 2 high students to teach them how to successfully complete the interview process. This went very 3 well. 4 Mayor Ranallo reported that on election night, November 4, 1997, Cable Channel 15 will start 5 programming at 8:30 P.M. and will cover all the elections in the ten cities that the system covers. 6 There will be a core group in Roseville, Shoreview,New Brighton, and St. Anthony. Mayor 7 Ranallo reported that he has volunteered-to chair the group in St. Anthony. The four 8 Councilmember candidates will be interviewed in St. Anthony at 9:50, 10:25, 10:50, and 11:10 9 P.M. The School Board candidates will be interviewed at 9:05 and 9:30 P.M. Mayor Ranallo 10 asked for volunteers for the noted interviews. 11 Enrooth volunteered for 11:10 P.M. interview, Brian Theusen the 10:25 P.M, interview, Jerry 12 Faust the 9:50 P.M. interview, and Dennis Cavanaugh was given the 10:50 P.M. interview. 13 D. City Manager. 14 Mornson reminded Councilmembers of the change in meeting dates. The November 11 Regular 15 Meeting will be November 4 at 8:00 P.M. The Council's Regular Meeting schedule to the end of the year will be as follows: November 4, November 25, December 3, and December 17. 17 Mornson reported there will be a private showing of the new Liquor Store on November 13 18 which will include the vendors, City Councilmembers, Chamber of Commerce, and the 19 contractors. The Liquor Store will open on November 18. Liquor Operations Manager will be 20 holding a grand opening celebration from November 18 to December 31. 21 Planning Commissioner Horst asked if the Planning Commission would also be invited to the 22 private showing. 23 Morrison stated he would mention this to Liquor Operations Manager. 24 Mornson reported that it had been planned to install the new roof deoking on the Liquor Store 25 building over the existing roof decking at a cast of$35,000. It has since been determined that the 26 old decking will need to be removed and the new decking installed. This will be a one day project 27 and will cost $10,000. However, it will require the Tires Plus Store to be closed for one day. 28 Morrison and Liquor Operations Manager will be meeting with the owner of Tires Plus to 29 determine compensation for loss of business for that day. The compensation may be in the form 30 of a rent reduction. 31 Morrison reported the Finance Director has reported that the third quarter liquor sales have 32 resulted in a$45,000 net income. This is a$40,000 increase over last year. The SAV 11 net • income has increased by an average of$9,000 to $10,000 per month over the last year. 34 Mornson reported that the City is currently involved in negotiations with the three unions and 35 hopes to have a tentative agreement on the November 17, 1997 agenda. City Council Regular Meeting Minutes • October 28, 1997 Page 8 I Mornson reported he will be meeting with WSB, the City of Plymouth and the City of White Bear 2 Lake to discuss the Sump Pump Ordinance. The aforementioned cities have changed their 3 ordinance and hired an engineering firm or an inspection team to inspect homes for compliance six 4 months after their ordinances were in effect. 5 Mornson reported the Task Force has requested that the change to the Storm Sewer Ordinance, 6 which would increase the quarterly fee from$3.00 to $9.00,be delayed until December 2, 1997. 7 This will allow time for'WSB to determine the sewer improvements and estimate the cost. The 8 amount of increase can then be determined. 9 Mayor Ranallo expressed his frustration that the Task Force has been criticizing the City for not 10 taking any action and when the City tries to take action, the Task Force asks them to wait. 11 Faust noted that the Task Force felt it would be more prudent to wait and obtain more expert 12 advice. This suggestion was approved by unanimous vote at the Task Force meeting. 13 Enrooth stated this made sense as it would then be part of the plan rather than just an increase. 14 Mornson reported that Senator Marty's assistant has asked that they be provided information in 15 regard to the water issue by December 15, 1997. 16 Mornson reported that an Open House will be held for Public Works Director Larry Hamer on 17 November 20 from 2:00 to 3:30 P.M. at City Hall. 18 VIII. PUBLIC HEARINGS. 19 Anthony Kaczor, 3008-33rd Avenue, suggested that street lights be installed on 33rd Avenue in 20 conjunction with that street project. He noted that the removal of the Parkview Building resulted 21 in the loss of the lights on the front of the building and it has become very dark. 22 Mayor Ranallo noted that the installation of street lights is generally approved by residents on the 23 . street. In this case, there are no residents on that side of the street. 24 Wagner noted that the installation of street lights would really be the replacement of the lights on 25 the Parkview building. 26 Mr. Kaczor noted that it has been proposed that the eight foot sidewalks in front of the school on 27 33rd Avenue be replaced with five foot sidewalks. He asked that the sidewalks be replaced with 28 eight foot sidewalks. 29 Brian Theusen asked if the liquor store profits reported by the City Manager were directly related 30 to a one time reduction in inventory or to an increase in sales. He stated that if the profits were a • 31 result of a reduction in inventory, they may be deceptive. • City Council Regular Meeting Minutes October 28, 1997 Page 9 1 Mornson reported that the inventory had been reduced at the end of 1996. The issue now is to 2 maintain a stable inventory. 3 Faust noted that profit is a function of the number of people working at the stores and the 4 scheduling. These are managerial issues and the Liquor Operations Manager is taking a proactive 5 approach. 6 John Kuharski, 2709 Pahl Avenue, reported that at the last Flood Task Force meeting it was 7 suggested that the increase in the sewer rate be postponed. The City Manager noted at that 8 meeting, that the funds would not be collected until the end of the first quarter of 1998 and that 9 this postponement would not affect the date the funds would first be collected. He stated that is 10 why he voted in favor of the postponement. 11 DL NEW BUSINESS. 12 A Resolution 97-045, re: Approve Plans and Specifications and Order Advertisement for 13 Bids for 1998 Street Improvements Project 14 Motion by Marks, second by Enrooth to approve Resolution 97-045, approving plans and 15 specifications and ordering advertisement for bids for the improvement of Edward Street, from 34th Avenue NE to 35th Avenue NE;Harding Street, from 34th Avenue NE to 36th Avenue NE; and Roosevelt Street, from 34th Avenue NE to 35th Avenue NE, by reconstruction of the 18 roadways and utilities. 19 Motion cArri d unanimously. 20 B. Resolution 97-050_ re: Approve Plans and Specifications and Order Advertisement for 21 Bids for the MSA Street Improvement Project on 33rd Avenue NE 22 Motion by Marks, second by Wagner to approve Resolution 97-050, approving plans and 23 specifications and ordering advertisement for bids for the concrete pavement repair and 24 rehabilitation on 33rd Avenue NE between_Silver Lake Road and Highcrest Road. 25 Mayor Ranallo questioned the proposed width of the sidewalk in front of the school. 26 Bob Moberg, Rieke Carroll Muller Associates, stated that the existing sidewalk in front of the 27 school is eight feet in width and is deteriorating and in need of repair. The proposal will replace 28 the sidewalk with a five foot width and the remaining area will be converted to grass or 29 boulevard. 30 Wagner asked if the sidewalk could be eight feet wide all the way to Silver Lake Road. He noted 31 that the section in front of the school is used a lot in both directions. Faust noted that children walking three abreast or playing on the sidewalk would require an eight foot width. He stated that eight foot is reasonable in this area. He noted there are also many 34 children which stand and wait on the sidewalk to be picked up. City Council Regular Meeting Minutes • October 28, 1997 Page 10 1 Mr. Moberg stated that the additional width is possible but may not be funded by State Aid funds. 2 The local government may have to share'in the cost of the additional three feet. 3 There was Council direction for Mr. Moberg'to check on the funding issue. 4 Mr. Moberg suggested that the Council attach a condition to Resolution 97-050, that it be 5 contingent on the approval of the variance request from NTMesota Rules for State Aid 6 Operations, Chapter 8820. 7 Marks and Wagner agreed to the proposed amendment to the motion. 8 Motion carried unanlmously. 9 C.

This is the Healthy 29 Community/Healthy Youth organization which has been named locally(ACTION). They are 30 making an effort to increase the level of assets in the youth of the community. It has been proven 31 that increasing the assets of youth makes them less apt to get Into trouble with the law. ACTION 32 is working with the Search Institute in providing information to the public and developing 33 programs to reach the youth. ACTION is.currently operating from the funds provided initially by 34 Nativity Lutheran Church and is in need of additional funds.

Mornson, City Manager Saint Anthony Village 3301 Silver Lake Road St. Anthony, MN 55418-1699 Dear Mr. Mornson: Per our conversation Tuesday evening, we are writing you regarding the placement of a stop sign on Edward Street at 34th Avenue. Currently, the only traffic control on Edward Street is a yield sign on 35th Avenue (which is often ignored) giving speeders free run on Edward from 33rd Avenue to 36th Avenue. We have many children riding bikes and crossing the street to the bus stop on Edward Street and have witnessed drivers exceeding the speed limit every day. Presently, we have tire tracks on our front lawn from a reckless driver. ® With a stop sign on Edward Street at 34th Avenue (which is a school bus stop) , drivers will be slowed down, if not deterred, from using our street as an expressway. Attached, please find our neighbors ' signatures in support of a stop sign on Edward Street at 34th Avenue: Thank you for your attention to this matter.

St. Anthony, MN 554118 Dear Mr rnson: �/K e: • As you know, for the past three years the North Suburban Cable Commur ications Commission has been involved in preparing new cable franchises on behalf of its Member Cities: Arden Hills, Falcon Heights, Lauderdale, Little Canada, Mounds View, New Brighton, North Oaks, and Roseville. As part of this process the Commission has completed a comprehensive and detailed assessment of all of the telecommunications needs and interests of the communities, has been reviewing and assessing the proposal submitted by Meredith Cable . to meet those identified needs and interests, and has initiated final negotiation of the renewed franchises. The Commission has accepted a proposal which meets the broad teleconununications needs of the communities . and is currently engaged in negotiating final franchise language with Meredith Cable. Upon completion of this process in the near future, the Commission will recommend a final franchise to the Member Cities for review, consideration and adoption. It is expected that negotiation and drafting of a final franchise document, and co asideration and adoption of such franchise by the respective Member Cities will require the next two to three months to complete. However, the respective current franchises each expire on or about November 8, 1997. Accordingly, the Commission and Meredith Cable have agreed to an extension of the current franchises to Jarmary 19, 1998 to accommodate completion of this process. Extension of the franchises requires that,the Member Cities amend their franchise to provide for an expiration date of January 19, 1998. Enclosed please find a draft Ordinance Amendment which provides for such an extension of the franchise term. Please place this issue on the Council's agenda for consideration and action at die next meeting. Upon adoption by the Council, please return a copy of the Ordinance Amendment for my records. In summary: • 1. Cable franchises expire November 8, 1997. 2. Enclosed is extension(recommended by Cable Commission) to January 19, 1998. 3. Adopt attached. 4.
