23 residents should be aware that cable companies can be held responsible for necessary repairs if
24 construction is completed on residential property.
25 Thuesen reported on his attendance at the first meeting with Community Services, which

2. which have supported many youth programs in St. Anthony.
3 Mayor Ranallo,reported the Council had just left a meeting at 6:00 P.M. with the School Board
4 to discuss necessary recourse upon the event of sale of the Salvation Army camp. He stated a
5 meeting was scheduled for September 21 with Ramsey County Commissioner Jan Weissner,
6 Mike Morrison and himself. He added the City would become involved in any event for
7 rezoning purposes.
8 Mayor Ranallo stated he received a letter of resignation from Parks Commissioner Andrea
9 Lambrecht and stressed the importance of filling that position in a timely manner.
10 C. City Manager.
11 Mr. Mornson stated he had spoken with George Wagner,pertaining to his interest in beingf a
12 Planning Commission candidate, and Mr. Wagner has agreed to accept the position. He added
13 that the Planning Commission,with the addition of Mr. Wagner,will now be fully staffed.
14 Mr. Morrison stated a meeting has been tentatively scheduled with the Harding Neighborhood
subcommittee for September 23 to discuss ponding.
16 Mr. Momson stated a letter had been sent to the Metropolitan Council regarding the revised
17 Sump Pump program. The City is asking for a grant to assist with the implementation of this
18 program. In the meantime,Mr. Mornson recommends the City ordinance remain in place but the
19 inspection program be abandoned until a response is received from the Metropolitan Council.
20 Mr. Morrison stated that the number of sump pumps in residences has been reduced 7-8%to date
21 without the inspection program.
22 Mr. Mornson stated there had been a fire at the new liquor store on Friday September 4 due to
23 faulty light fixtures. He added there had been little damage but a large amount of cleanup is

25 damage reimbursement.

1 improvements associated with the home buyout program at the same time, which would account
2 for 4 ponding locations.
3 Mr. Hubmer stated the project includes the proposed replacement of the sanitary sewer system in
4 this location which has been determined to be under capacity and could result in a bottleneck. In
5 addition,the existing water mains and storm sewer system will be improved.
6 Mr. Hubmer stated that these improvements,in conjunction with the proposed storm water
7 ponding areas,will provide 100-year flood protection to the citizens of St. Anthony.
8 Mr. Hubmer stated the road sections will be replaced to the same width and configuration with
.9 only slight changes to the.grade to accommodate storm water changes and better drainage. Mr.
10 Hubmer presented depictions of the cross-sections for Wilson Street and Pahl Avenue as well as
11 the alley.
12 Mr. Hubmer stated the estimated total cost for the 1999 street reconstruction program is
13 estimated at$1.2 million. He added funding for the project will come from a variety of sources
14 including City Storm Water Utility Funds, Special Assessments,FEMA flood mitigation grant
15 funds, and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.
16 Mayor Ranallo stated the feasibility report andspecifications are the first step in the process, •
17 followed by a neighborhood meeting to be held on September 30;bid advertisement by
18 November 10; bids received by December 1.0; approval of resolutions by January 12;public
19 hearings on assessments to be held by February 9; and commencement of construction around
20 the first part of May, after the end of road restrictions.
21 Rodger Ness, 2701 Pahl Avenue,requested information from the Council regarding the area
22 surrounding his home. Mr.Ness stated the alley between Pahl Avenue and St. Anthony
23 Boulevard was repaved only a few years ago and is still in excellent condition and drains well.
24. He expressed his doubt at the necessity of repaving the alley. He added that the current proposed
25 reconstruction will present major expense to him as he lives on the comer of.Pahl Avenue and
26 Wilson Street with the alley behind, and will therefore be assessed on three sides. Mr. Ness
27 stated the total cost for him will be over$12,000 which is more than 10%of the value of his
28 home.
29 Mr. Hubmer stated the purpose of the alley reconstruction is to make sure that water will drain to
30 holding ponds, and as such the funds for same would come from the DNR.
31 Mr.Ness questioned whether homeowners will pay the total cost of street assessments. Mayor
32 Ranallo stated they will not pay the total cost. Mr. Hubmer confirmed that the city pays 65%of
33 street reconstruction costs, and the homeowner pays 35%.

1 Mr.Ness questioned the full assessments being paid on these streets while the sidewalks.on St.
2 Anthony Boulevard are not being assessed. Mayor.Ranallo stated St.Anthony Boulevard is a
3 State MSA road, and the State has allowed the City to use state funds for sidewalks along the
4 Boulevard for the first time this year.
5 Thuesen reiterated there has been concern among residents like Mr.Ness who will.be doubly
6 charged for assessments. He questioned whether DNR funds could be applied toward flood
7 mitigation efforts in alleys. Mr. Hubmer confirmed that storm water funding will be allocated
8 toward alley construction which is necessary for flood mitigation, although he was unsure of
9 exact amounts.
10 Mr. Hubmer stated final plans and cost estimates will be available before the September 30
11 neighborhood meeting.
12 Cavanaugh stated the community needs to appreciate the project, and added the home buyout
13 issue has not been addressed yet. He added no decision had been made as yet on condemnation,
14 and the final plans can't be implemented until the home buyout issue is resolved. He questioned
15 the feasibility of successfully completing the street reconstruction program without resolution of
6 the home buyout program:
17 Mr. Hubmer stated the improvements on Pahl Avenue and Wilson Street could be completed
18 pending the purchase of the homes in the home buyout program.
19 Cavanaugh questioned the current status of the home buyout program. Mr. Mornson stated one
20 home had been purchased with another closing to be held on September 18. He added the City is
21 at a stalemate on the other 3 properties after the homeowners rejected offers based upon the
22 higher of two appraisals.
23 Cavanaugh asked what this means to the street reconstruction project, and whether it is the will
24 of the Council that the homes be condemned. He added the will of the community towards
25 condemnation has not been tested.
26 Mr. Hubmer stated the cost of the program would be doubled as the grade adjustments in the
27 alley sections would have to be done twice.
28 Thuesen asked Mr. Hubmer for his opinion on the results of the program and effects on the
29 neighborhood if the three unpurchased homes were excluded. Mr. Hubmer stated flooding
30 would occur in the designated homes as well as adjacent homes.
31 Cavanaugh asked whether property taxes will increase as a result of the street reconstruction
program. He also requested clarification on the home buyout issue and its affect on the street
3 reconstruction program.

1 Mr. Hubmer confirmed if the home buyout program is unresolved, it would have an impact on
.2 WSB's ability to provide.100-year flood protection. He added that the City has until May or .
3 June 1.999 to resolve these issues.
4 Mike Jacobs, 2914 - 29th Avenue, questioned Mr. Morrison's indication that the City would not
5 enforce the sump pump ordinance. Mr. Morrison clarified that the City will maintain the
6 ordinance but abandon the inspection program since it would cost the city$50,000 to enforce
7 home inspections. He stated less than 10%of homes currently have sump pumps and a certain
8 percelfage of these already comply with the ordinance. He reiterated that this is a temporary
9 solution until further agreement with the Metropolitan Council is reached.
10 Mr. Jacobs questioned the impact which this will have on the National Insurance Program. Mr.
11 Hubmer stated the sump pump inspection program is not a specific requirement of the National
12 Insurance Program.
13 Mr. Jacobs stated he would wish the City to be more generous with the home buyout program
14 rather than go through condemnations. Mayor Ranallo reiterated the City had two appraisals
15 completed on the properties and had offered the highest appraisal value to the homeowners.
16 Cavanaugh suggested the possibility of a 3rd party negotiator to arrive at agreements with the •
17 homeowners concerned. He added other communities utilize this process often to settle disputes.
18 Mr. Jacobs stated the flooding in his neighborhood has caused much grief and pain among
19 residents and they are concerned that a stalemate will occur in the home buyout program. He
20 added he is a willing seller, and knows of other residents on his street as well who would be
21 willing to sell their homes to the City.
22 Mr. Jacobs asked whether the Harding Neighborhood subcommittee meeting on September 23
23 and the neighborhood meeting on September 30 were open to the public. Mayor Ranallo stated
24 all meetings are open to the public.
25 Faust stated the objective of the Council.is to accomplish the task of fixing the flooding problems
26 in the City, and the Council will accomplish this mission.
27 Motion by Faust, second by Cavanaugh to approve Resolution 98-068,receiving report and
28 ordering plans and specifications_for the 1999 Street Reconstruction Program.
29 Motion carried unanimously.
30 B. . Resolution 98-069,re: Approve plans and specifications and order advertisement for bids
31 for improvements to Silver Point Park
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
September 8, 1998
• Page 7
1 Mr. Hubmer presented the final plans for Silver Point and Central Parks to the Council. He
. 2. showed depictions of 2 areas_within Silver Point Park'. The first is a storm water storage area at
3 the north end, which will be a dryarea of the park except after flooding when 3-5 feet of water
4 will drawn down into the area for 6-10 hours. The purpose of this area is to protect residents
5 along the north side of the park, which were flooded in July.
6 He added also shown is the proposed location for the stockpiling of material excavated from
7 Central Park. He stated the purpose of this proposed stockpile is the lower cost of excavation
8 and storage. The stockpile would be,80,000 yards of material, approximately 20 feet high.
9 Cavanaugh asked if the Parks Commission had approved this stockpiling of material. Mr.
10 Hubmer stated this issue will be presented to them Monday, September 14. He added he had
11 attempted to schedule a Parks Commission meeting prior to this Council meeting,but conflicts
12 arose.
13 Mayor Ranallo questioned the timeframe for gaining the necessary approval. Mr. Morrison
14 stated the date for final approval has been determined as October 7; bids will be considered by
15 October 13, which gives the Parks Commission 2 more meetings to discuss the issue.
•6 Cavanaugh expressed concern that the Parks Commission needs more time and perhaps a
17 delayed decision, as requested by Carol Jindra at the last Council meeting. Mayor Ranallo
18 agreed that the Parks Commission should not be rushed in their decision. He added the Council
19 meets again September 22 and he would prefer to delay decision until then.
20 Mr. Hubmer expressed his concern that if the bid date is delayed,the City will lose potential bids
21 for November/December and will otherwise have to wait,until May/June,which will be more of
22 a disruption to the community. He added the configurations of the holding pond and stockpile
23 are the important decisions,and alternative layouts proposed will not alter the bids dramatically.
24 Thuesen stated he understands Cavanaugh's concern, but believes the Council has demonstrated
25 its trust in the Parks Commission and the timeliness of these decisions is of great importance.
26 Edna Fehr, 3008 -29th Avenue NE,expressed concern over the methods which will be used to
27 move dirt into Silver Point Park. She stated her property as well as that of other homes adjacent
28 to the park will be ruined by trucks hauling dirt through the parking lot.
29 Mr. Hubmer stated a possible alternative would be to bring the dirt in trucks off Highway 88 into
30 the park. He added there will be flagmen present, and speed will be limited, considering the high
31 traffic levels on 29th Avenue.
•2 Tom Nelson, 2840 Silver Lake Road, asked whether WSB has taken soil samples from Silver
33 Point Park to determined the depth of the water table. Mr. Hubmer stated the water table is 6 feet
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
September 8, 1998 •
Page 8
1 at the north end of the park and 9 feet at the south end. He added the soil configuration in the
2 park is tight clay which does not allow water to travel through it very.fast, so the excavation
3 process will be easier:
4 Mayor Ranallo suggested a public information meeting to discuss the parks. He suggested
5 October 13 Council meeting, instead of expecting the Parks Commission to field all questions. .
6 Motion by Thuesen, second by Faust to approve Resolution 98-069,to approve plans and
7 specifications and order advertisement for bids for improvements to Silver Point Park.
8 Motion carried unanimously.
9 C. Review concept plan for home buyout area, St. Anthony Boulevard and Pahl Avenue.
10 Mr. Hubmer presented two depictions of cross sections for the storm water ponding areas to be
11 constructed at the home buyout locations. He stated the pond depths would be 6-8 feet. He
12 stated the ponds would have sloping sides and flat bottoms with landscaping and other amenities
13 yet to be determined within the ponding area. He added the Parks Commission might wish to
14 become involved as it is an opportunity for green space.
15 Cavanaughex ressed his unease with the project as the time gets closer to di the holes. He •
P P J g gig
16 stated he had understood there had been discussion about such a pond at the Town`N' Country
17 location, and requested an update on that.
18 Mr.Hubmer stated that possibility was researched and found to be prohibitively expensive since
19 it is commercial property. He noted its great distance from the flooding areas. Cavanaugh asked
20 whether a cost estimate for that will be available for the September 13 meeting for consideration,
21 as it might diminish the need for the home buyouts. Cavanaugh added he wished to see that
22 option pursued. Mr. Hubmer confirmed there would be an estimate.
23 Thuesen stated residents had expressed concern with regard to liability issues and fencing ofthe
24 ponds. Mr. Hubmer agreed fencing is an issue,and most communities with ponding do not fence
25 them because of maintenance issues and aesthetic reasons,as well as the obstacle which fences
26 present to rescue vehicles in case of emergency. He added lakes are also storm water receptacles,
27 but communities elect not to fence them.
28 Thuesen asked how long the storm water ponds take to fill. Mr.Hubmer stated the ponds would
29 fill within an hour or two,and the ponds will drain within 6-8 hours of rain cessation.
30 Mr. Jacobs stated with regard to the grant program, he would appreciate an explanation
31 in writing as to why his grant application was rejected._ Mr. Hubmer stated letters were
currently being sent to all residents who applied to the grant program. • .

1 D. Resolution 98-070. re: Set City's proposed 1999 tax levy and budget.
2 Mr. Mornson presented the City's proposed 1999 tax levy and budget. He stated the proposed
3 levy must be identified by September 15, 1998 for fiscal year 1999. He added the City sets the
4 levy and holds a budget work session on October 6, Truth in Taxation hearings on December 7
5 and 16, and then arrives at a final resolution.
6 Cavanaugh asked whether the levy could be changed. Mayor Ranallo confirmed the levy
7 amount could be decreased. Cavanaugh stated in his opinion the budget format is confusing
8 and needs to b enhanced. He added for a new Councilmember, the budgeting process has been
9 difficult for him to understand. He stated the October 6 meeting might be a good opportunity
10 to address this problem.
11 Thuesen stated he also had a difficult time understanding the budget process. He added the
12 budget draft appears to be comprised of numbers, and stressed the need for table of contents,
13 mission and goal statement, fiscal policies, benchmarks, goals and objectives, department
14 summaries, and glossary. He stated the City and its residents would benefit from a budget on
15 paper that includes these items. He added residents should be able to go to the library and
16 review, understand and discuss the document which in its current form is impossible.
Mayor Ranallo stated the City held a recent work session at which all Department Heads,
supervisors and the Finance Director were in attendance, and that would have been the ideal
19 format for such a discussion. He added that the full Council had been present at this work
20 session but these issues were not raised.
21 Thuesen stated as a new Councilmember he is still learning and studying these processes;
22 however, in order for them to be understandable and meaningful, changes needed to be made.
23 Mayor Ranallo stated these are the very reasons that two work sessions were held. He added
24 while a learning curve is acceptable, it should not be at the expense of the taxpayer. Thuesen
25 stated he had no intention of learning at the expense of the taxpayer.
26 Faust questioned the intent of Thuesen and Cavanaugh, asking if they meant toimply
27 skullduggery.
28 Cavanaugh stated he felt left out of the process as a Councilmember, attending the Council
29 meeting with a book that has no narrative. He invited the audience to attend the October 6
30 budget work session. Thuesen stated there was no skulduggery on his part; however, he
31 believes the City needs to work on the budget format.
32 Cavanaugh stated he requested an investment sheet from the City offices, detailing the City's
$9 million in investments. After a lengthy wait, he received a large, confusing packet of
41 information. He added he requested the same document from another community, and
35 immediately received a succinct summary printed on 9" X 11" paper. He stated since the
I
I City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
2 September 8, 1998
3 Page 10
4 Council's first responsibility is to the City, it should not be necessary to work so hard to
5 understand these documents. Cavanaugh stated he believed this dialogue regarding the budget .
6 was a healthy and necessary debate.
7 Mr. Nelson questioned the police budget statement for Falcon Heights and Lauderdale from the
8 budget document, stating there were no revenues listed. Mr. Mornson clarified the revenues
9 are listed under Intergovernmental Revenue.
10 Mr. Nelson questioned whether there are other sources of intergovernmental revenue, and if so
11 why they are not itemized separate. He pointed out the difficulty of determining specific
12 revenues based on those figures. Mr. Mornson stated all sources are included on that page.
13 Cavanaugh stated he has made numerous requests for intergovernmental revenue itemization
14 from the City to no avail.
15 Mr. Nelson asked whether the City intends to hire community services officers on grant, and
16 whether, according to past practices, the officers will remain on payroll if the grant expires.
17 Mayor Ranallo stated the city has never had community services officers before. Mr. Nelson
18 asked whether other communities have set precedence.
19 Mayor Ranallo stated this is a Federal program initiated by President Clinton to provide funds
20 for community-oriented police programs to put more officers on the streets.
21 Mr. Nelson asked whether the City would be hiring community service officers if no grant
22 were available. Faust confirmed that St. Anthony is one of the few communities in the
23 metropolitan area which does not employ these officers. He added they provide an important
24 function, carrying out administrative and liaison duties without carrying a weapon, and keeping
25 uniformed officers on the streets. He stated the community service officers will be an asset to
26 the community.
27 Cavanaugh stated the more questionable issue is the two police officers recently hired to work
28 on special projects.
29 Motion by Faust, second by Ranallo to approve Resolution 98-070, setting the 1999 proposed
30 tax levy and budget.
31 Motion carried unanimously.

Re: Proposal for Redevelopment Plan
St.Anthony Shopping Center
Dear Ms Moore-Sykes:
My understanding is that the EPA has several issues to resolve. These issues are:
• What to do with the KA property.
• How to reinforce the shopping center sales in light of the recently open Quarry.
• What to do with the office service-area near Lowry Avenue.
• How to generate money to create streetscape improvements that will make the shopping
area more attractive.
What Y would suggest is that'I spend a 21/2-hour working session with the HRA and Planning
Commission. With a little preparation on my part,that is all of the time it will take for us(TSLk
Planning Commission and myself)to formulate a redevelopment strategy for the area. This strategy.
would consist'of the following:
• Develop a realistic use for the KA property including the expected use,the economic
value it will generate for the City, and a list of possible developers who have a successful
redevelopment track record.
• Strategically position the shopping center to account for the recently opened Quarry.
• Develop a realistic use for the triangle near Lowry Avenue,including the use the value
generated and the of list of developers who can successfully complete the task
• Create a source to finance streetscape and parking lot improvements,
As you may recall X have knowledge of the Kenzie Terrace area and T have extensive experience
working on several redevelopment projects in the recent past.I have enclosed my resume and a list
of economic development and redevelopment projects,

for under$500 via the Internet. I am.so confident that we can formulate the strategy in one
workshop that I will not charge the HRA for any of my time. So the total cost to the HRA will be
under$500 to purchase the economic data.

FROM: St. Anthony Village Planning Commission
RE: Recommended Changes to Draft Ordinance 1998-010 Regarding Storm Water
Management Practices
The Planning Commission recognizes the need for storm water management ordinances, both
as a requirement of the Metropolitan Council (in order for them to approve our Comprehensive
Plan), and, more importantly, to improve surface water quality in the City. We applaud the
Council for taking the action of enacting specific storm water ordinances. We have reviewed
model ordinance supplied by the Mptm Council and offer suggestions, both specific and general,
below:
SPECIFIC SUGGESTIONS
Sec 1675.06, Sub. 2 (a)4: If wetland delineations are to be required, we suggest that the term.
delineation be defined in Sec 1675.04 as"'Delineation., A field survey of the soils, vegetation, and
hydrology completed by a person competent to perform such wetland delineations and in
accordance with the regulations of the Minnesota Wetlands Conservation Act of 1991 and the
federal U. S. Army Corps of Engineers delineation manuals.'
Sec 1675.06, Sub. 2 (a) 6: Since the entire City is served by City sanitary sewer, and installation
of sanitary sewer facilities is not allowed, we recommend that the language after"development
proposed" be deleted as it is unnecessary.
Sec 1675.07, Sub. 1: This section calls for City Council action on the storm water management
plan within 120 days of the application. This appears to be in conflict with the 60 day limit
recently enacted by the Minnesota Legislature. Accordingly, we recommend that°120 days" be
replaced by°60 days'.
Sec 1675.08, Sub. 2: Replace"corrosion°with °erosion°:
Sec 1675.08, Sub. 6 (a): Replace °0.5 ft/sec.'with 0.5 cu. ft./sec."
Sec 1675.08, Sub. 6 (a)2: The current specifications present the risk of being in conflict with
the NURP design standards of Rice Creek Watershed District. Replace 'Each sedimentation
basin shall have a surface area of at least one percent of the area draining to the basin and at
least three feet of depth and constructed in accordance with accepted design specifications.'
with °Each sediment basin shall be designed to National Urban Runoff Protocol (NURP)
standards.'
Sec 1675.08, Sub. 6 (d): In the first sentence, replace "pole'with "pile"
.
Sec 1675.08, Sub. 7 (a):At the beginning of the second sentence, replace "The applicant may
also make an in-kind...'with "If approved by the City, the applicant may also make an in-kind...'.
This change will give the City control over the type and size of in-kind or monetary contributions.
Sec 1675.08, Sub. 7 (a) 2: Replace"depressing"with °depressions°.
Sec 1675.08, Sub. 8 : This entire subdivision of specifications presents the risk of being in
conflict with the NURP design standards of Rice Creek Watershed District. We recommend that
the City Engineer review these standards and rectify them with Rice Creek Watershed standards.
Sec 1675.08, Sub. 12 : Replace "previous'with "pervious".
Sec 1675.08, Sub. 13 : Replace "interests.t allow'with 'interests to allow . ,
GENERAL
1. Scope: In general, current state (Minnesota Pollution Control Agency) and local (Rice Creek
Watershed District) storm water management ordinances have disturbed acreage thresholds
below which the regulations do not apply(10 acres and 3 acres, respectively). As currently
written, any citizen wishing to obtain a building permit for almost any purpose must submit a
surveyed site map (to two foot contours), a wetland delineation analysis, and a final site contour
map, all of which would require the applicant to hire out for professional services. For a
commercial or industrial development or redevelopment projects, these are appropriate requests;
for a homeowner building a deck, the subcontracted professional services costs may exceed the
cost of the deck. We also can foresee that Public Works staff could spend much of their time
reviewing (likely inadequate) submittals by homeowners, and that sticking to the letter of the
ordinance as proposed would create an adversarial relationship between the City and its citizens.
As a solution, we propose that there be two classes of requirements, one (not yet written) that
would apply to any permits issued to an individual homeowner in the City's R-1, R-1A, and R-2
zoning districts, and another(the current draft ordinance) for permits issued for all other(larger) .
residential projects and in all.other zoning districts. We recognize that surface water.quality in
the.City is everyone's responsibility(homeowner and business alike), but wish to recognize the
difference in scale and potential water quality impacts between small residential
repair/improvement projects and those of a larger construction project. The proposed residential
housing storm water management requirements would be appropriate in scale and complexity,
be able to be completed by the homeowner, be easily reviewable by City staff, and not pose
significant financial barriers to homeowners who wish to maintain or improve the City's housing
stock. We recommend that City staff contact the League of Minnesota Cities, and contact other
city governments to see what other such ordinances currently exist to serve as a model
residential storm water management ordinance. If none can be found, the Planning Commission
or the City Engineer can be utilized to draft such an ordinance.
2. Section 1675.08. Sec. 9- Lawn Fertilizer Restrictions. While this restriction on phosphorus is
desirable, as a practical matter it is virtually unenforceable. We recommend that the City.
continue its efforts of educating.its citizens about this issue, and continue to cooperate with other
local governments, conservation organizations, and concerned citizens.
Should the Council have any questions or concerns regarding our comments, please let them be
known to the Planning Commission and we will do whatever we can to support implementation of
the new ordinances. We appreciate the opportunity to comment on these draft ordinances, and
look forward to continue to work with the Council on this issue.

DATE: September 15, 1998
TO: St. Anthony Village Mayor and City Council
cc: Mike Mornson
FROM: St. Anthony Village Planning Commission
RE: Recommendations of Planning Commission Regarding Implementation of 1998.
Comprehensive Plan
The successful implementation of the 1979 City Comprehensive Plan was due to both the
specific planning contained in the plan (especially as it related to the Kenzie Terrace
redevelopment) and to the vision and tenacity of the City Councils and Planning Commissions
since 1979. In this spirit, the Planning Commission here proposes priorities and offers its
suggestions and general plans to implement the 1998 Comprehensive Plan, soon to be
approved by the Metropolitan Council.
Between joint Council/Commission meetings, the input of the Comprehensive Plan Task Force,
consultant recommendations, surveys, and widely disseminated discussion, we believe we
share the same vision of the City of St. Anthony held by the City Council. The consensual
Major goals identified through these discussions include:
1. To remain a relatively small, self-contained entity, which is better able to respond to the,
concerns of its citizens;
2. To retain a stable sense of community, create a sense of place, and to evolve into a true .
"suburban village";
3. To preserve and enhance residential, commercial, and industrial property values through
continued development and redevelopment; and
4. To remain fiscally responsible.
In order to relate these goals to present and future actions, the Planning Commission reviewed
the 1998 Comprehensive Plan with an eye toward identifying specific tasks that would be most
productive in achieving the goals above. Accordingly, the discussion below itemizes those
issues and opportunities that the Planning Commission believes have an immediacy of need to
reach the goals above.
1. Commercial Redevelopment: .
A. Apache Plaza-The City Council has worked long and hard on the redevelopment of Apache
Plaza, with early successes. Due to the potential positive property tax revenue impacts to the
City, it makes sense that this be the number one priority for commercial redevelopment efforts
of the City. As a developer, Opus is involved in worldwide large construction and development
projects. Although we believe that Opus has been acting in good faith to promote
redevelopment of the property, we question where a small shopping center redevelopment falls
in project priorities of Opus. Also, being passive results in Opus solely controlling the type and
design of proposed commercial tenants and uses.
B. St. Anthony Shopping Center: A commercial tax base of the second order to the City, this
shopping center remains marginally viable but its long-term health in its present configuration is
questionable at best. Recent years have seen an uneven quality of stores, traffic, crime and
vacancy rates. The recent request of Robodyne exemplifies the pressure for mixed use. As a
property owner adjacent to the shopping center, the City has a vested interest in the outcome of
the center's eventual redevelopment.
C. Industrial Park: The city's industrial park is in serious decline and in.need.of redevelopment.
Buildings are deteriorating and many are approaching their useful life. The park is in danger of
becoming an economically depressed blight, and property tax revenues will soon suffer without
active redevelopment. By contrast, nearby Roseville industrial development is booming.
Recommendations:As a planning arm of the City, the Planning Commission strongly
recommends that the City hire at least a half-time economic development person to promote
redevelopment of all three of these properties. Past objections by the City Council to this idea
center on the fact that the position has not been a budgeted item and that the normal course of
development will take care of the issue. We believe that the relatively modest investment of
part-time salary dollars will more than be offset by long-term increases in property taxes in
these areas, as well as throughout the City. For instance, expedited (and City-friendly)
redevelopment of Apache Plaza alone could increase the tax revenues of the City by over
$500,000 per year; thereby offsetting 25 years of direct salary dollars for the position. We
believe that the City cannot afford not to take this action for the long-term commercial and
industrial health of the City, and that it is time for alternative thinking on redevelopment issues
and their resolution. To make this recommendation more real, the Planning Commission is in
the process of developing a detailed discussion paper in order.to flesh our ideas.
2. Maintenance of Residential Housing Stock:
The City of St. Anthony Village rightfully prides itself on its stable population and good housing
stock, especially owner-occupied housing. It is without question that some of this housing stock
is starting to deteriorate, and that the demographics of the City are gradually changing. To
keep up the housing stock, we believe that at least two processes need to be in place: housing
code compliance inspections and financial assistance programs. It is in the City's best interest
to see that housing stock is maintained, as property values and corresponding tax revenues
follow the condition of the stock.
Recommendation: The Planning Commission recommends that the City adopt a Point-of-Sale
ordinance similar to that previously drafted. There will be resistance, but other urban cities (e.g.
Minneapolis) and first-ring suburbs (e.g.. St. Louis Park, Richfield, Columbia Heights, Roseville)
have either adopted these ordinances or are in the process of doing so. The former chair of the .
Columbia Heights Planning Commission told us that the Sheffield neighborhood problem would
have been avoided if only the city had a "housing code with teeth in it." It is our feeling that
both owner-occupied and multifamily housing should be covered in the ordinance, and that
inspections by a third party would relieve some of the confrontations between citizens and City
staff.
Also, we believe it is in the best interest of the City to have a City-administered and controlled
financial assistance program (low interest loans) for homeowners who wish (or are forced) to
make significant capital improvements to their dwellings. We envision that there be some sort
of income means-testing as prequalification, and that the funds used would be in a City
revolving fund set up for this purpose. Currently, City staff provides advice on other entities to
contact for such money, but the process is poorly understood by most homeowners and many
give up in frustration. Local control would result in more investment by homeowners and
consequently result in better maintenance of the housing stock.
3. City. Infrastructure
Much of the embodiment of the goal for special "sense of place" comes about through small
construction projects that are often associated with municipal infrastructure construction (e.g..
Silver Lake Road lake overlook, brick-like crosswalks on 33rd Avenue, proposed Silver Lake
Road bridge over railroad tracks, Trillium Park, etc.). A number of community "identity" projects
are suggested in the Comprehensive Plan, such as decorative lighting along Silver Lake Road,
landscaping in the boulevards along 37th Avenue, sidewalks along collector streets,
landscaping in the median of Silver Lake Road, unique street signage, community gateway
signage, etc. While it may not be feasible to accomplish all of these improvements at once, it
can be feasible to plan for these identifying amenities as construction opportunities come up.
For example, the opportunity for unique lighting along the length of Silver Lake Road will be
driven first by the railroad bridge replacement on Silver Lake Road. A decision on the lighting
standards would need to be made before those design plans become finalized.
Recommendation: We recommend that the Director of Public Works meet twice a year with
the Planning Commission to discuss upcoming construction projects that may provide
opportunities for construction of"identity" projects. In this way, the Planning Commission can
help keep these suggestions alive during the normal course of City infrastructure work.
As a planning arm of the City, we feel obligated to promote those recommendations that we
truly believe will be cost-effective and result in progress toward the City's future goals. We look
forward to discussion of our recommendations with the Council, and hope that these
recommendations will be given seriously consideration. The Planning Commission is also more
than interested in spearheading, developing and implementing any or all of these ideas on
behalf of the City.

Re: Municipal State Aid(MSA)Funding for Street Lighting
RCM File No. 10415.01
Dear Mr.Hartman:
Following the City Council meeting on July 28, 1998,we briefly discussed the use of MSA
funds to pay for the installation of street lighting on municipal state aid streets. In particular,
the question arose related to constructing ornamental lighting on St.Anthony Boulevard in the
area of the current sidewalk project. MSA rules that the Minnesota Department of
Transportation has promulgated do allow the use of MSA funds on lighting projects. The
extent of eligibility for project funding is presently dependent upon whether the lighting project
is a"standard"lighting system or an"ornamental"lighting system.

Jay, I hope that this discussion satisfactorily responds to the City's questions about using
MSA funds on street lighting projects. If you have additional questions or for further
discussion,please do not hesitate to call me. We welcome the opportunity to work with you
and other City officials to implement a street lighting project in the city.
