5 V. REPORTS FROM COMMISSIONS AND STAFF.
6 A. Planning Commission Items from March 16, 2004.
7 1. Resolution 04-029,re: Peterson, for 2601 —31 S`Avenue NE, variance request.
8 Planning Commission Chair Joel Stromberg noted Frank and Dolores Peterson, 2601 —31St
9 Avenue NE, had filed for an 11-foot side yard variance to allow construction of a three-season
10 porch. He explained the ordinance required a 30-foot setback and the property owner would
11 have a 19-foot setback if the variance was approved. He indicated the total square footage of the
12 property was 10,475 and the applicant currently met the requirements for lot coverage and other
13 setback requirements. He stated the Building Inspector interpreted that a side yard setback was
14 required versus a front yard setback because it was a corner lot and the City had the ability to
15 interpret the various setbacks on a corner lot based on what made the most sense from a zoning
16 perspective.
17
18 Chair Stromberg indicated the discussion among the Commissioners centered on the,fact that the
19 placement of the house on the lot resulted from the house being built before the current zoning
20 ordinances were in effect and it was agreed this created a hardship for the owners that they had
21 not created. He noted the resolution cited the odd shape of the lot as a requirement for the
22 variance; however, he stated the real issue was that the placement of the house on the lot dictated
-23 the position of the three-season porch.
24
25 Mr. Peterson indicated he and his wife were both."70 years young"and would like to have a
26 sunroom added to their home for health reasons. He explained his wife had asthma and could
27 not get outside often because of outside odors, etc., which affected her breathing. He added it
28 would not only be beneficial to him and his wife but also would enhance the neighborhood.
29
30 Councilmember Stille asked how long the fence had been located on the property. Chair
31 Stromberg responded, according to Mr. Peterson, the fence predated their purchase of the home,
32 which was five years ago.
33
34 Councilmember Horst stated he understood no residents spoke against the variance at the
35 Planning Commission hearing. Chair Stromberg responded that was correct.
36
37 Councilmember Horst asked if the porch would alter the character of the neighborhood. Chair
38 Stromberg responded it would not alter the character of the neighborhood. He added there were
39 a large range of setbacks represented in the area of the Peterson's home.
40
41 Councilmember Horst stated he assumed this would add value to the Peterson's home. Chair
42 Stromberg responded the Commission agreed it was an improvement of the home.
43
44 Councilmember Faust indicated he assumed the three requirements for a variance were met by
45 this request. Chair Stromberg responded they were, as the hardship was not created by the
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes 03
March 23, 2004
Page 3
1 owner, the variance would not alter the character of the neighborhood and the Planning
2 Commission agreed the placement of the house on the lot created a hardship.
3
4 Councilmember Faust asked if Chair Stromberg agreed the hardship was not created because of
5 health issues. Chair Stromberg replied Mrs. Peterson's health issues were not considered the
6 reason for the hardship.
7
8 Motion by Councilmember Thuesen, seconded by Councilmember Faust,to adopt Resolution
9 04-029 approving a variance request for property addressed as 2601 —3151 Avenue NE.
10
11 Discussion:
12
13 Councilmember Stille indicated he generally agreed with the motion; however, he stated the
14 issue of the fence and the shed that was located on the property line concerned him. He noted he
15 understood it was difficult to place a condition on a variance,but he thought it would improve
16 the arrangement if there was more conformity to the Code.
17
18 Mr. Peterson stated the shed was 15 feet from the street. Councilmember Stille responded the
19 site plan indicated it was on the property line.
20
21 Councilmember Faust asked if this was a nonconforming use. He noted that probably should be
22 a question for staff. He added it would not weigh against granting the variance but should be
23 considered. Councilmember Stille responded he assumed it had been considered; however,he
24 could not confirm that it had been considered. He suggested conformance would be needed if
25 this was a nonconforming use.
26
27 Motion carried unanimously.
28
29 2. Resolution 04-030, re: Tires Plus, for Lot 8, Block 7, Mounds View Acres Second
30 Addition(property next to Twin City Federal on Silver Lake Road), conditional
31 use permit and an administrative subdivision request.
32 Planning Commission Chair Stromberg indicated on March 16, 2004, the Planning Commission
33 held a public hearing for a conditional use permit and an administrative subdivision request for a
34 Tires Plus Store on Silver Lake Road on property adjacent to Twin City Federal. He explained a
35 concept plan for the property was reviewed by the Commission at its February 17, 2004,
36 meeting. He noted the property was zoned commercial and the proposed use was a permitted
37 conditional use in a C district.
38
39 Chair Stromberg stated the applicant was currently located next to the City liquor store on the
40 west side of Silver Lake Road; however, the existing building was being purchased and
41 demolished to accommodate the redevelopment of Apache Plaza.
42
43 Chair Stromberg indicated, following the public hearing held on March 16, 2004, the Planning
44 Commission recommended Council approve said requests with the following conditions:
45 1. Hours of operation would be 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. on weekdays and 7:00 a.m. to 5:00
46 p.m. on weekends.
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes 04

Page 4
1 2. With the exception of two vehicles stored outdoors for 72 hours only, no outdoor storage
2 of vehicles was allowed.
3 3. An enclosure would be constructed around the dumpster.
4 4. A landscaping and lighting plan would be submitted for staff approval. He noted the
5 Commission asked for additional plantings to "soften the look,"as most of the current
6 trees would be lost during construction.
7 5. Review and approval by the City Attorney and City Engineer were required. He
8 indicated the Watershed District had been involved with solving some of the drainage
9 issues.
10 6. The landscaping plan must be consistent with the surrounding neighborhood.
11
12 Chair Stromberg noted the Commission had reviewed previous conditional use permits on
13 similar facilities in recent years before making its recommendations. He added the Tires Plus
14 representatives were open to the conditions.
15
16 Chair Stromberg indicated limiting truck access through the TCF parking lot was also discussed
17 as a condition; however, the Tires Plus manager felt he could self-regulate the access.
18 Discussion followed regarding planned access to the proposed Tires Plus location.
19
20 Councilmember Host stated he was concerned about the restriction of hours placed on Tires
21 Plus. He asked the Tires Plus representatives if this was a surprise to them. One of the
22 representatives responded it was a surprise,partly because Tires Plus had been a part of the
23 business community for so many years. He noted Tires Plus gave the Planning Commission its
24 hours of operation and the Planning Commission had extended the hours a small amount beyond
25 what Tires Plus had given them.
26
27 Councilmember Faust noted the City restricted hours of operation for Exhaust Pros in 1994;
28 therefore, this was not the first time it had happened. Councilmember Horst responded he
29 agreed; however, this was the first time he had been able to object to the restriction.
30
31 The Tires Plus representative indicated flexibility was sometimes needed when it was necessary
32 to complete work on a customer's car. Councilmember Horst agreed and discussed reasons why
33 he did not agree with restricting a business to certain hours, especially a business that had been a
34 "good neighbor." He added the City should at least expand the hours to what was reasonable for
35 this type of business.
36
37 Discussion followed regarding Tires Plus' current hours of operation and situations that could
38 demand Tires Plus remain open beyond the recommended hours.
39
40 Councilmember Horst stated he felt it did not hurt Council to be flexible; however, lack of
41 flexibility could hurt the business.
42
43 Chair Stromberg indicated the Planning Commission's intention was not to hurt Tires Plus'
44 business. Councilmember Horst responded the condition would hurt Tires Plus' business.
45
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
March 23, 2004 05
Page 5
1 Discussion followed regarding the need to protect homes located close to a business that worked
2 on vehicles.
3
4 Councilmember Faust stated he disagreed with Councilmember Horst and noted Tires Plus
5 would be closer to housing than it was before. He agreed adjustment would be needed if a
6 business competing with Tires Plus was located nearby and was allowed to stay open. He
7 indicated this issue needed to be handled with consistency and added he did not foresee the City
8 "shutting them down"if they stayed open late to take care of one of the City's residents. He
9 noted this type of business could be noisy in the summer and thought it would be nice to have
10 "peace and quiet"during some parts of the day.
11
12 Councilmember Horst stated he thought Rapid Oil Change was open until 10:00 p.m. or 11:00
13 p.m. He added he knew they were open late on weekends. He agreed the City needed to treat
14 businesses equally.
15
16 Councilmember Horst stated he did not want the first condition, which restricted hours of
17 operation, included in the resolution. He noted it would be hard to enforce all conditions if it
18 was decided one of them could be ignored and he wanted to make the conditional uses realistic.
19
20, Councilmember Faust stated he felt it would be easier to hold the business to a higher standard
21 that could be relaxed rather than a lesser standard that needed tightening. Councilmember Horst
22 responded he felt Tires Plus' track record showed they did not need"tightening up."
23
24 Councilmember Thuesen asked if legal issues would surface if the City granted longer hours for
25 Tires Plus, and Exhaust Pros, for example, did not have the same hours. He questioned if this
26 was something Council needed to consider or was each situation with conditional use permits
27 different.
28
29 City Manager Morrison responded every situation was different and one of the issues considered
30 was the location of the business. He explained the Chair of the Planning Commission would ask
31 the business what its current hours of operation were, which was done in this case. He noted
32 flexibility was already shown, as the Planning Commission expanded the hours a small amount
33 beyond the cited current hours.
34
35 Mr. Momson noted Councilmember Horst had asked what would happen if Wal-Mart offered
36 tire repair service, which Mr. Morrison felt was probable. He explained that was a separate
37 issue, as Wal-Mart was zoned PUD; therefore, the hours could be more or less restrictive,
38 depending on the PUD Agreement. He added, in the Tires Plus situation,the condition involving
39 hours of operation was to stop any possible disturbances in the neighborhood.
40
41 Councilmember Stille stated he was concerned about outside storage of vehicles. He indicated
42 he understood the condition was trying to provide some flexibility so Tires Plus would not be in
43 violation if they did have to leave a vehicle outside at night; however, it was his understanding
44 the outside storage of vehicles was"avoided at all costs."
45
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
March 23, 2004 06
Page 6
1 The Tires Plus representative indicated outside storage of a vehicle would be a rare occurrence,
2 as there were eight bays within the Tires Plus building. He explained the Tires Plus' policy was
3 to bring vehicles into the shop every night for security and safety reasons. He noted sometimes
4 Tires Plus would give an estimate to repair an"undriveable"car and the owner would decide it
5 needed to be towed to a junkyard; however, situations like that were exceptional.
6
7 Councilmember Stille noted the conditional use permit was connected to the land and not the
8 business; therefore, he would rather"keep it tight,"with the option to consider modifying it at a
9 later date if Tires Plus found a need for an adjustment and chose to request it.
10
11 The Tires Plus representative asked Councilmember Stille if he agreed with the 72-hour
12 allowance. Councilmember Stille responded he did not agree; however, on the other hand,he
13 did not want to adversely affect Tires Plus' business.
14
15 The Tires Plus representative stated he could not give an opinion regarding whether or not a
16 vehicle would ever be outside;however,he felt flexibility from Council was needed. He
17 indicated Tires Plus' policy was to bring vehicles indoors at night. He added someone could
18 drop off their car and put the keys in the night drop and Tires Plus would not know it was there
19 until the next morning, for example.
20
21 Councilmember Stille noted it would be difficult for staff to monitor"what cars were where
22 when" if the 72-hour condition were allowed. The Tires Plus representative responded that Tires
23 Plus had been located in the City for many years and it had never received complaints regarding
24 this situation. He indicated he was flexible but also wished for a stipulation of flexibility within
25 the resolution that would cover the uncommon situations.
26
27 Mayor Hodson requested the resolution move forward as it was written,with the understanding
28 that Council was receptive to alterations if Tires Plus came forward indicating that market
29 conditions had changed.
30
31 Motion by Councilmember Faust, seconded by Councilmember Thuesen,to adopt Resolution
32 04-030, approving a conditional use permit and an administrative subdivision request from Tires
33 Plus, for property described as Lot 8,Block 7, Mounds View Acres Second Addition(located
34 next to Twin City Federal on Silver Lake Road), with the stated conditions.
35
36 Discussion:
37
38 Councilmember Horst stated he wished to amend the conditional hours of operation to 7:00 a.m.
39 to 10:00 p.m. on weekdays and 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on weekends, which would allow Tires
40 Plus flexibility if they needed to be open beyond the currently cited hours.
41
42 Councilmember Faust responded he did not accept Councilmember Horst's amendment as a
43 friendly amendment.
44
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes 07
March 23, 2004
Page 7
1 Councilmember Thuesen indicated he felt Council should move forward with the resolution as it
2 was presented by the Planning Commission. He added he encouraged Tires Plus to come before
3 Council in the future if market conditions should change and it felt alterations were necessary.
4
5 Councilmember Faust stated Tires Plus had been a good corporate citizen and Council would
6 make sure they were able to compete. He noted Tires Plus was moving to a new location that
7 presented a different sort of circumstances and it might have a different impact. He added
8 Council would work with Tires Plus.
9
10 Councilmember Stille indicated he agreed with Councilmember Faust and, in addition, stated he
11 would like to exclude condition number 2 from the resolution, keeping in mind"we are going to
12 keep it tight."
13
14 Councilmember Faust responded he also considered Councilmember Stille's amendment an
15 unfriendly amendment.
16
17 Mayor Hodson requested a motion to move forward with the resolution as stated. He noted two
18 friendly amendments had been made, one regarding hours and the other regarding stored
19 vehicles. He indicated he was in favor of leaving the resolution as it was brought forward, as
20 Council could consider any changes that were needed in the future.
21
22 Councilmember Horst stated he would remove his friendly amendment since he was outvoted.
23
24 Councilmember Stille stated he would also withdraw his friendly amendment.
25
26 Motion carried unanimously.
27
28 VI. GENERAL POLICY BUSINESS OF THE COUNCIL.
29 A. Todd Hubmer, WSB and Associates, Inc., to present the following_
30 1. Resolution 04-031, re: Consider bids for water plant.
31 Mayor Hodson noted Mr. Hubmer was not present due to a death in his family.
32
33 City Manager Mornson explained a total of four bids were received for this project on Thursday,
34 March 11, 2004. He noted WSB and Associates forwarded the bid tabulation, indicating the low
35 bidder was Magney Construction, Inc., Chanhassen, Minnesota, in the amount of$608,300. He
36 noted this bid was $100,000 below the estimate from last year.
37
38 Mr. Mornson stated WSB and Associates recommended Council consider these bids and award a
39 contract to Magney Construction, Inc., in the amount of$608,300.
40
41 Mr. Mornson explained two years ago Council ordered a Water and Sanitary Sewer Study of the
42 entire City to find out if there were any defects or problems within the system that would make it
43 unable to support the current growth and expected growth of the City's population. He noted
44 this project was a top priority issue.

43 Manager, along with 15 part-time employees who complimented the full-time staff. He noted
44 the two Store Managers were present at the current meeting.

1 Mr. Larson cited the Liquor Operations' Mission Statement: "Our goal is to control the sale of
2 beverage alcohol to minors and intoxicated persons while simultaneously generating revenue for
3 the community, in accordance with City, State and County liquor laws and ordinances."
4
5 Mr. Larson indicated the overall Liquor Operation sales for 2003 were$4,198,930, with an
6 unaudited net profit of$172,000, taking into consideration that all the debt service remaining in
7 the Liquor Operation was assumed by Store#2. He explained there was an overall decrease in
8 sales of$885,795 caused by the closing of Store#1 and the Stonehouse Bar and Grill. He
9 indicated $125,000 of the profits was transferred to the general fund and $28,000 was transferred
10 to capital equipment purchases.
11
12 Mr. Larson noted some of the 2003 activities of the Liquor Operations were as follows:
13 launched a web site for the liquor stores, renamed the liquor stores "St. Anthony Village Wine
14 and Spirits,"participated in the St. Anthony Chamber of Commerce Golf Tournament, increased
15 wine selection, held additional wine tasting events and increased beer selection with emphasis on
16 imported and specialty beers.
17
18 Mr. Larson indicated the City's Liquor Operation was the winner of the 2003 Lillie Newspaper's
19 Reader's Choice Awards for Best Beer Selection. He added it also successfully passed all of the
20 alcohol and tobacco compliance checks performed by the Police Department.
21
22 Mr. Larson provided a breakdown of Liquor-Operation sales by stores and products. He noted
23 the Liquor Operations had serviced approximately 206,000 customers during 2003.
24
25 Mr. Larson also presented an eight-year net profit history, noting the City had realized over$1.4
26 million in net profits over the last eight years. He explained those net profits had been
27 transferred to the following City enterprises: general fund, capital equipment purchases, Central
28 Park projects, Skateboard Park project, the offset of LGA cuts and improvements to the Liquor
29 Operations.
30
31 Mr. Larson stated the following projects were planned for 2004: complete construction of off-
32 sale store at 2700 Highway 88,begin construction of new off-sale store at Silver Lake Village,
33 relocate current store to new location when construction is completed and expand the web site
34 capabilities. He noted the web site address was the following:

39 monthly specials, coupons, product list, new products, list of events, sign-up for Wine Club,

1 Mr. Larson noted the Liquor Operations' project was one week ahead of schedule and on budget.
2 He added the City Council and Chamber of Commerce Ribbon Cutting Ceremony would be -
3 scheduled between May 17 and June 1, 2004; and the Public Grand Opening Celebration would
4 be scheduled for June 21 through June 26, 2004.
5
6 Mr. Larson provided the following time line for the new store: cooler installation began on
7 Monday, March 22, which was one week ahead of schedule; exterior finishes to be completed on
8 April 6; windows, interior walls,plumbing and floor tile to be completed on April 26; blacktop
9 parking lot on May 15.
10
11 Mr. Larson stated he and the Store Managers wished to thank all the departments within the
12 City, especially the Public Works Department, for assisting the Liquor Operations in many ways.
13
14 Councilmember Faust stated he understood the Wine and Grocery Bill was currently on the
15 inactive list at the Legislature, which was important to the community because it would
16 potentially allow wine to be sold by someone under the age of 21. He added City control would
17 also help keep the City"in the black"with liquor sales, which helped pay property taxes. He
18 indicated the City had support from the School Board and noted it was good public policy from
19 both a children's safety and a financial'point of view.
20
21 Councilmember Faust thanked Mr. Larson for"a good job,"both for the City and at the
22 Legislature.
23
24 Mayor Hodson also thanked Mr. Larson and the Store Managers for the excellent work they had
25 done. He noted Mr. Larson had begun working with the City's Liquor Operations in 1996, at
26 which time it realized a net profit of approximately$20,000. He indicated the net profitability

1 Mr. Hartman stated, beginning in 1999, the City-Wide Flood Mitigation Program Initiative was
2 incorporated with the Street Reconstruction Program and, to date, about 95%of the City-wide
3 flood improvements had been completed, with street improvement projects continuing on a
4 yearly basis. He explained the final component to complete the flood mitigation was to
5 construct a storm water retention pond at the corner of Silver Lane and Shamrock Drive, which
6 was to be completed during the summer of 2004. He added, based on the current schedule, all
7 bituminous roadways west of Silver Lake Road would be completed by 2008 and, at that point,
8 the City would be in a position to address the reconstruction of the remaining concrete segments
9 throughout the City, which made up approximately 42% of the City's roadway infrastructure.
10
11 Mr. Hartman indicated the 2004 street utility reconstruction would consist of the following:
12 Hilldale Avenue between Silver Lake Road and Belden Drive, Belden Drive between 33'd
13 Avenue and 32"d Avenue, 32"d Avenue between Belden Drive and Silver Lake Road, and

21 Confidence Report(CCR), which would be included in the April newsletter.
22
23 Mr. Hartman indicated the capital improvement projects proposed for 2004 were as follows:
24 purchase of Public Works maintenance equipment scheduled for 2004, chemical equipment

26 of the Well-Head Protection Plan, annual 2004 street reconstruction, upgrade of City street signs,
27 and a community electronic sign in front of City Hall and a City entrance ground sign at the

29
30 Mr. Hartman displayed a drawing of the new Public Works facility, noting construction was far
31 ahead of schedule. He indicated the move-in date was anticipated to be sometime between the
32 middle of April to early May. He stated he"could not have asked for a better team to make this
33 happen." He thanked those who helped make this project a success,noting it could not have
34 been accomplished without the 20-member task force, the team of Oertel Architects/Kraus-
35 Anderson, and Council. He added an open house would be planned and residents should look
36 for the flyer in an upcoming newsletter.
37
38 Mr. Hartman noted the following 2004 upcoming events: Annual Spring Clean-Up Day on May
39 1, 2004; Public Works Facility Grand Opening on June 24, 2004, from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.;

43 noted it was able to attain the goals of each department and provide the needed services to the
44 City's residents. He indicated the success of the Department was due to the knowledge and
45 dedication of its employees, who made the Village of St. Anthony a great place to live. He

2 works agencies.
3
4 Councilmember Thuesen asked if Mr. Hartman had any information regarding a gate'system that
5 could be placed'on the snowplows, noting the gate system could be put down to prevent pushing
6 snow into driveways. He questioned if Mr. Hartman could comment on how this would affect
7 the time factor of removing snow and the cost. Mr. Hartman responded he had been asking
8 questions regarding the gate system and, at this point, did not understand how it worked. He
9 added he would have better answers to Councilmember Thuesen's questions when he was able to
10 find information about the gate system.
11
12 Councilmember Thuesen asked if any cities within the metropolitan area used the system. Mr.
13 Hartman responded he was not aware of any cities that used such a system.
14
15 Councilmember Thuesen asked if the Department would provide opportunity for chipping of
16 branches, etc., this spring. Mr. Hartman responded curbside chipping would be provided in the
17 spring and, if a resident missed the curbside chipping, he/she could bring the materials to the
18 new Public Works facility, where they would be handled at that time.
19
20 Councilmember Faust noted he encouraged residents who liked to keep their trees trimmed to
21 use the curbside chipping offered by the Public Works Department. He added he also
22 appreciated the street sweepers, who did an excellent job keeping the City clean.
23
24 Councilmember Faust asked how the new park at Silver Lake Village would affect the
25 Department's staffing. Mr. Hartman responded he would be meeting with the design team in
26 about two weeks regarding this issue. He added one of the items needing consideration was
27 whether maintenance would be split with the property owners in the area or if the City would
28 take responsibility and charge back to the affected residents. He noted decisions would be made
29 after further discussion had taken place.
30
31 Councilmember Faust asked Mr. Hartman to thank his department for its hard work,which"kept
32 the City working really well."
33
34 Mayor Hodson thanked Mr. Hartman and noted he had received comments of appreciation from
35 residents regarding the Public Works Department.

Report Date: March 31, 2004
Meeting Date: April 13, 2004 Agenda Section: V, Public Hearings; A
ITEM DESCRIPTION: Forecast/proposed 2005 City budget.
MANAGER'S REVIEW: For the past 5 years, the City Council has held a Public
Hearing in April to receive input on the next fiscal year's budget. The purpose of
this early hearing is to receive input from those interested in participating in the
process prior to development of the 2005 operating budget.
The following are points of interest of the 2005 budget:
Summary of Expenditures:
Salaries/Wage adjustments 2% increase
Health insurance contribution $30.00 increase per month
Capital Equipment Funding:*
Funding available in 2004 $165,000
Funding available in 2005 $165,000
* In previous years, Liquor Operations contributed $100,000 toward the
funding of capital equipment. This amount has been reduced to reflect the
change in the liquor stores and the funds will not be available for use in
2005.
The opening of the new SAV I is scheduled for May/June of this year with
projected 2004 profits from operations of $175,000. The amount of these
profits will cover the 2004 General Fund transfer.
Summary of Additional Expenditures:
1.) With the opening of Central Park, the City could incur increased costs that
could require additional funds be allocated to Parks. Costs for
maintenance, ballfield lights, and higher usage may impact the Parks
budget.
24
2) Grandfather levv - the City has agreed to fund a portion of the recreation
costs that Community Services provides. Previously, the School levied for
this funding, however, recent legislation eliminated the School from doing
so. This is estimated at $52,175.
3) 2004 streetproject will reflect an increase in the road levy (collectible in
2005).
Summary of Changes in Revenues:
Spring telephone lease $16,200
Building permits During the construction phase of Apache, revenues
from permits could significantly increase
Tires Plus Lease The City receives $76,800 per year in lease revenue.
After September 1, the City will -no longer receive those
funds.
