1 Mr. Hanka has submitted copies of the documents to the City that indicate that the Wirth
2 Companies are current owners of record as the Wirth Companies or Stinson Boulevard Corp., a
3 subsidiary of the Wirth Companies. The City Attorney has been given the proposed plat map
4 and copies of the deeds for his review.
5 Lot 1, Block 1, Beutz Addition is being subdivided and replatted to provide the Apache Medical
6 Building space for additional future parking needs and to combine the two vacant lots to increase
7 the square footage available for redevelopment of the newly replatted lot. An easement between.
8 the current lots that allows access to the Apache Medical building will continue to be maintained
9 - after the subdivision and replatting.
10 The combining of the two vacant lots will bring Lot 1, Block 1, Beutz Addition into compliance
11 with Chapter 15, Subd. 4., (1), of the City's Ordinance, which states that all lots must abut by
12 their full frontage on a public street. The replatting of the vacant lots creates a lot that meets the
13 minimum lot size requirement under the same Chapter.
14 Commissioner Makowske asked if this would change the driveway which was previously
15 determined to give Apache Medical Building street frontage.
Ms. Moore-Sykes stated that the City Attorney has determined that this driveway will still be
considered an easement and provide frontage, and the Apache Medical Building still meets all
18 the City Code requirements.
19 Mr. Hanka, Wirth Companies, reported this application had been delayed one month due to an
20 impending sale of the Apache Medical Building. However, this sale did not occur. The purpose
21 of the request is to provide more area for Lot 2, Block 2, and make it more buildable under City
22 Codes. Mr. Hanka reported the easement is not an issue. It is rarely used but will remain in
23 place with the subdivision/replat.
24 Chair Bergstrom asked if this was a private easement which could be vacated.
25 Ms. Moore-Sykes stated this is correct. She noted however,that the Car Wash does depend on
26 this easement to access 39'Avenue.
27 Chair Bergstrom closed the public hearing at 7:11 P.M.
28 Motion by Chair Bergstrom, seconded by Commissioner Horst,to recommend approval of a
29 Subdivision/Replat of Lot 1, Block 1, Beutz Addition owned by Wirth,Companies, as presented
30 in the documents provided in the Planning Commission's packet.
4 Motion carried unanimously.

1 C. 98-08 Krause Anderson- Conditional Use Permit.
2 Chair Bergstrom opened the public hearing at 7:13 P.M.
3 Ms. Moore-Sykes reported that Bill Warner of Krause/Anderson has applied for a Conditional
4 Use Permit to locate Robodyne Corp. in the vacant building at 2550 Highway 88, formerly
5 known as the Town& Country grocery store. In discussing the possibility of putting another
6 retail/commercial use at that site, Mr. Warner reported to the Planning Commission during a
7 concept review that he was unable to interest any potential tenant because vehicular access to the
8 St. Anthony Shopping Center is somewhat difficult and the rent/cost per square foot is too
9 expensive for many who would be interested.
10 Mr. Warner and the owner of Robodyne Corp., Mr. Joseph Alvitd, have stated that the vacant
11 building meets the expansion needs of Mr. Alvit6's computer development and research
12 company. Mr. Alvitd reported that he has researched relocating in the Industrial Park of St.
13 Anthony, but there is nothing available that meets his current or future business requirements.
14 Mr. Alvitd has stated that he will lease the building from Krause/Anderson for five years with an
15 option to buy at the end of the lease. He is also interested in purchasing other buildings in the
16 Shopping Center when and if they become available in the future. Robodyne has a
17 manufacturing facility in North Dakota and Mr. Alvitd has indicated that he intends to use the
is proposed site for offices and computer research and program development.
19 Staff talked with the City Attorney regarding this request and he indicated that this use could be
20 allowed either as an allowable use if the City determined that the use is educational and will have
21 scientific research offices with no laboratories; or a permitted conditional use as computer
22 research and program development. He also indicated that the City may also deny the request
23 because the use is deemed incompatible with the other uses in the area. The City Attorney
24 advised that if the City approved the proposed relocation of Robodyne to this site, that they
25 should do so as a permitted conditional use.
26 Ms. Moore-Sykes read into record a letter received by the City from Rodney Johnson, Real
27 Estate Manager for St. Anthony Minneapolis Inc., dated May 28, 1998, stating that he was
28 adamantly opposed to the granting of the conditional use permit for the relocation of Robodyne
29 to 2550 Highway 88.
30 Mr. Alvitd stated he is still interested in the property. He stated he appreciated the letter from the
31 Real Estate Manager and understood why he was scared. However, he did not agree with the
32 letter and noted that Krause/Anderson has tried for a year to lease the property for commercial
33 use and has not been successful.
34 Bill Warner of Krause/Anderson stated he had gone to great lengths to secure a retail tenant for
this property and had also spent a lot of time and energy on the concept of a new building
containing a strip center with an end cap gas station on this site. Neither effort was successful.
37 He stated that an office use of property can stimulate growth and traffic as well as a retail use.

1 He asked that the Commission consider his request.
2 Chair Bergstrom asked when Krause/Anderson had begun to market the site.
3 Mr. Warner stated the site has been actively marketed since June of 1997.
4 Chair Bergstrom closed the public hearing at 7:21 P.M.
5 Commissioner Horst stated he would decline discussion or voting on this issue due to his
6 relationship with Mr. Alvitd.
7 Chair Bergstrom noted that Mr. Johnson has indicated that the Shopping Center is for sale.
8 Commissioner Horst stated this sale would include the entire shopping center with the exception
9 of the liquor store and the fire station.
10 Chair Bergstrom noted that the City is in the process of hiring a Planning Consultant to study the
11 whole south area of the City. If a conditional use permit is granted it may include a condition
12 related to expiration. Bergstrom stated that personally he was concerned with keeping a viable
entity, especially a technological employer, in the community. He was inclined to vote in favor
of granting the conditional use.
15 Commissioner Gondorchin stated that he was much more concerned about the potential conflict
16 with the redevelopment plans for the south end of the City. He noted that Mr. Alvitd proposes to
17 lease the property with the option to purchase after five years and there is a possibility that the
18 redevelopment plan will call for that property to be leveled. He suggested that the conditional
19 use permit not be granted unless it was for a very short period.
20 Chair Bergstrom stated that he agreed and suggested that the conditional use permit expire in five
21 years.
22 Commissioner Gondorchin asked if the knowledge that in five years there may not be an option
23 to purchase the property and that the lease money had not been applied to the purchase of the
24 building would diminish Mr. Alvitd's interest in the building.
25 Mr. Alvitd stated this would be contrary to the papers which he has signed with
26 Krause/Anderson.
27 Mr. Warner noted that the benefit of this agreement to Mr. Alvitd is that his capital could be
28 better spent to expand his business at this time, rather than spent on the physical building. In five
years, he would be offered a discounted purchase price on the building based on the rent money
injected, at a purchase price already agreed upon.

1 Mr. Alvit6 noted that a significant infusion of cash will be necessary to make the building better
2 suited to fit his needs. He questioned the benefit to the developer if the building was purchased
3 from him or from Krause/Anderson.
4 Commissioner Gondorchin explained that if the conditional use permit expired in five years, Mr.
5 Alvit6 would no longer be able to operate his business. This use would not be allowed in that
6 location.
7 Chair Bergstrom stated this does not preclude the possibility that Mr. Alvit6 would be able to
8 operate. The City does not know what the redevelopment plan will include. He stated that the
9 City does genuinely want to keep Robodyne in the City of St. Anthony, they just do not know if
10 this use of the Town& Country site will be compatible with the redevelopment plans.
11 Motion by Chair Bergstrom, seconded by Commissioner Thompson to recommend approval of a
12 Conditional Use Permit to locate Robodyne Corp. in the building at 2550 Highway 88 for the use
13 Krause/Anderson has proposed as presented in the Commission's packet based on the following:
14 1. The proposed conditional use is a conditional use specifically allowed for this zoning
15 district.
2. The proposed use will not be detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of
10 persons residing or working in the vicinity or injurious to property values or
18 improvements to the vicinity.
19 3. The proposed use is necessary or desirable at the above location to provide a service or a
20 facility which is in the interest of public convenience and will contribute to the general
21 welfare of the neighborhood or community.
22 4. The Conditional Use Permit will expire five years from the date that it becomes valid.
23 Commissioner Gondorchin questioned the enforcement of the expiration of the Conditional Use
24 Permit and asked when Staff expected the redevelopment of the south end of the City to take
25 place.
26 Ms. Moore-Sykes stated she would check with the City Attorney prior to the Council meeting in
27 regard to the legality of the expiration of the Conditional Use Permit. She was not certain of the
28 timing of the redevelopment but noted that redevelopment will occur via voluntary sales and
29 possibly occur in five to ten years. She noted that one suggestion had been that the shopping
30 center be converted to office use. She indicated that she did not know if the City will exercise
31 eminent domain rights to take property.
32 Commissioner Makowske asked if a condition should be included in regard to hazardous waste.
Chair Bergstrom stated there are State and Federal agencies who monitor this issue.
Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes
• June 16, 1998
Page 6
1 Commissioner Gondorchin noted that the creation of hazardous waste would violate the
2 conditional use which is being approved.
3 Mr. Warner noted the lease with Mr. Alvite will not commensurate until February 1, 1999 to
4 allow improvements to be made to the building, including a new roof and facade. He asked if the
5 Conditional Use Permit could become effective on February 1, 1999 or the date that Mr. Alvite
6 opens for business, whichever comes first.
7 Chair Bergstrom questioned the consequence of delays in construction.
8 Mr. Warner stated he was confident that there will be no delays. The papers are signed.
9 Chair Bergstrom amended Condition#4 of the motion to state, "The Conditional Use Permit will
10 expire five years from February 1, 1999 or five years from the date that Mr. Alvite opens for
11 business, whichever comes first." Commissioner Thompson agreed to the amendment.
12 Voting on the motion: Bergstrom, Gondorchin, Kaczor, Makowske, Thompson voted aye. Horst
13 abstained.
0 The motion carried.
15 VII. OTHER BUSINESS.
16 A. Concept Review.
17 1. Proposed Residential Garage Expansion.
18 Ms. Moore-Sykes reported this resident had been advised of the concept review process and
19 asked to provide copies of a drawing of the proposed project. The resident has not submitted
20 anything for review by the Planning Commission.
21 This item was kept on the agenda because the resident was informed when the Planning
22 Commission meeting was to be held. No one appeared at the meeting to address this request.
23 2. Proposed Residential Garage Reconstruction.
24 Ms. Moore-Sykes reported that Robert Jensen, 2908 Roosevelt Street NE, is proposing to
25 remodel his home, remove an existing breezeway, and construct a new double-car garage. The
26 garage will be setback on the property and the driveway will be extended to that point. This will
27 require a lot coverage variance of 82 square feet for the driveway and the garage. The proposal
28 will also require a garage setback permit.
29 Chair Bergstrom questioned the side setback requirements for a garage setback permit. He also
30 asked if a variance would be required for the principal structure.
•1 Ms. Moore-Sykes noted that the principal structure will not require a variance. The garage
32 setback permit allows a sideyard setback of three feet and the proposed structure will have a five
Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes
June 16, 1998
Page 7
1 foot sideyard setback. She noted that the garage setback permit also addresses issues such as the
2 proximity of the garage to other structures on adjoining properties, screening and vegetation,
3 approval of neighbors, and location of other garages in the area. It is similar to a variance
4 request in that it requires a public hearing.
5 Commissioner Gondorchin noted the proposed garage is 720 square feet. This is larger than a
6 standard double-car garage. Also the garage setback permit refers to a garage of no more than
7 528 square feet. He questioned the rearyard setback requirement.
8 Ms. Moore-Sykes stated the-rearyard setback requirement is the greater of 20%of the depth of
9 the entire lot or 25 feet. The proposed garage has a 15 foot rearyard setback and is not in
10 compliance with the requirement.
11 Robert Jensen, 2908 Roosevelt Street NE, explained that the home is a small rambler with a
12 minimal amount of kitchen area. The addition will come off the breezeway and around the back
13 of the house. It will provide an expansion to the kitchen, a breakfast nook area in the place of the
14 current breezeway, and a family room. The garage is setback from the addition to provide room
15 to maneuver the cars into the garage. It is 30 foot deep to provide room for a workbench area in
16 the back. Mr. Jensen stated he had not been aware of the rearyard setback requirement.
Commissioner Gondorchin questioned the distance from the house to the front of the garage.
18 Mr. Jensen stated this distance is 23 feet.
19 Chair Bergstrom noted the garage is recessed seven feet from the south of the house.
20 Mr. Jensen stated this locatiori is based on a sideyard setback requirement of five feet. The
21 garage could be offset a little based on the permitted three foot setback.
22 Chair Bergstrom explained that the City is sensitive to adding impervious surface due to the
23 flooding issues. He noted that the requested overage is generated primarily by the length of the
24 driveway and suggested that the driveway be shortened by eight feet or narrowed by one foot.
25 He noted that the garage is 10 feet into the rearyard setback and suggested that the orientation or
26 location be adjusted to alleviate this.
27 Mr. Jensen noted the location of a tree near the proposed garage. He stated he would work with
28 the suggestions of the Commission.
29 Commissioner Horst noted that the plan does not appear to be drawn to scale and suggested that
30 this be done for the public hearing. He suggested that the garage either be scaled down or a
41 hardship be demonstrated as to why a garage of this size is necessary.
Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes

1 Commissioner Gondorchin asked if there were any structures on the adjoining properties located
2 in the same area as the proposed garage.
3 Mr. Jensen stated there are not. Both adjoining properties have the same layout as his property
4 currently has.
5 Commissioner Horst asked if Mr. Jensen had discussed the proposal with his neighbors.
6 Mr. Jensen stated the neighbors are aware of the proposal and seem to be comfortable with it.
7 One neighbor has offered access through his yard during the construction process.
8 Chair Bergstrom suggested that Mr. Jensen encourage his neighbors to attend the public hearing
9 or to send a letter of their opinion to the City. He stated the City is generally supportive of this
10 type of improvement as it will enhance the entire community.
11 Commissioner Gondorchin encouraged Mr. Jensen to have a current survey performed before
12 initiating construction.
13 Chair Bergstrom recessed the meeting at 8:08 P.M. and reconvened at 8:10 P.M.
0 B. Interviews of Planning Consultants.
16 Bill Weber, Director of Community Planning, BRW, Inc. noted the written proposal which was
17 submitted to the City. He stated that he, Bob Kost, and Auggie Wong have substantial
18 experience in helping clients plan the development or redevelopment of commercial properties,
19 and have conducted several projects similar to this one. He suggested that the St. Anthony
20 Shopping Center's days are numbered. The site has great possibilities and provides an
21 opportunity to do something special as it occupies a special location as a gateway to the west side
22 of the City. He noted that he and Mr. Kost provided planning assistance for an aging shopping
23 center on Bass Lake Road in Crystal, for the Linden Hills area, and the area of 50'h and France
24 Avenue in Edina. BRW advocates the urban approach to design and believes it should have a
25 civic and pedestrian orientation. He noted that he has worked with the City of St. Anthony since
26 1980, has built good trust and has a desire to retain his relationship with the City.
27 Chair Bergstrom asked Mr. Weber if most of BRW's work had been with municipalities. He
28 also asked that in a situation where neither the City nor BRW has control over the property how a
29 redevelopment is implemented.
30 Mr. Weber stated that all the locations which he had assisted with redevelopment have been
31 municipalities. He explained that redevelopment can be initiated through the land use plan, the
32 zoning ordinances, or public improvement to streets. The City can also have some type of
participation in the project including the creation of a TIF District or creation of a park or a civic
project. The City can become an equity partner in the project. The City can also exercise their
Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes
• June 16, 1998
Page 9
1 eminent domain powers for the public purpose of redevelopment and then sell to a private
2 developer to implement the plan.
3 Commissioner Horst asked if any part of this plan would take into account the tax implications of
4 business versus residential.
5 Mr. Weber stated this was not included in the proposal as he understood the City's request to be
6 for concept stage planning. However, BRW has provided this service on previous occasions.
7 -Commissioner Horst asked how the proposed process varied from the Comprehensive Plan
8 process which was just completed.
9 Mr. Weber stated this is a more detailed level of planning. It would include planning the
10 arrangement of buildings,the type of buildings,providing sketches of the plans, and attendance
11 at four to five meetings. He noted discussion of the tax implications could be included very
12 easily.
13 Commissioner Horst stated that earlier in the meeting the Real Estate Manager of the Shopping
14 Center had stated in a letter that he believed that retail use was still an appropriate use for the
shopping center. Horst stated that as a business owner he agreed. He wished that the planners
would look at the center with an open mind.
17 Commissioner Gondorchin explained the Robodyne request. He also noted that the shopping
18 center is currently for sale.
19 Commissioner Horst noted that the shopping center has been for sale for a couple of years. He
20 also explained to Mr. Weber that Mr. Alvite envisions a technical parkin the shopping center
21 area. He suggested that this vision may not be compatible with the vision of the Planning
22 Commission, City Council or BRW.
23 Mr. Weber stated that was not the use for the area which came to his mind. He suggested that
24 office use may be appropriate for the area. Mr. Weber explained that his role in the process
25 would be to facilitate discussion, bring ideas, provide sketches, and help the group to brainstorm.
26 Chair Bergstrom questioned the "next step" after viable ideas had been developed. He asked if
27 BRW would obtain the developers.
28 Mr. Weber stated this was not included in the proposal. However, BRW can act as an advisor in
29 that process. He suggested that the planning process would include talking with the various
30 owners of the area and obtaining their input, determining one to three ideas,testing the
41 marketplace, and then moving forward with acquisition of property, etc.
32 Chair Bergstrom thanked Mr. Weber for his presentation.

1 C. Status of Comprehensive Plan Update.
2 Bill Weber, BRW, Inc. stated he expects to receive a response from the Metropolitan Council the
3 first part of July and the City Council can then approve the final version of the Comprehensive
4 Plan Update.
5 B. Interviews of Planning Consultants - Continued.
6 Ms. Moore-Sykes reported RFPs had been submitted to seven companies and two responses were
7 received within the deadline. She also noted that City Manager has been contacted by Wendell
8 Smith and a meeting is scheduled with him on Wednesday morning. City Manager has informed
9 Mr. Smith that he has missed the deadline and Mr. Smith has stated that he did not realize this.
10 Chair Bergstrom stated there is a large disparity between the two proposals which were received.
11 He noted that DSU had applied for the Comprehensive Plan Update and suggested that.an RFP
12 be submitted to them. He asked if the Commissioners had any other companies in mind.
13 Commissioner Makowske stated he would not be comfortable that this would be money well
14 spent without looking at other options.
15 Ms. Moore-Sykes stated she would look at the list of companies who received the RFP for the
Comprehensive Plan Update.
17 VIII. COMMENTS.
18 Commissioner Gondorchin again suggested that the City place an advertisement in the Bulletin
19 requesting the resident's plan for the south end of the City. He noted there could be hidden talent
20 in the Village and this would also provide citizen input.
21 Ms. Moore-Sykes stated she would investigate this idea.
22 Commissioner Gondorchin apologized for missing the Ice Cream Social - Parks Meeting event.
23 Commissioner Kaczor reported his attendance at a VillageFest meeting on June 1, 1998. He
24 noted the committee is looking for volunteers for the sponge throwing event and suggested that
25 participation in the event may be a way to provide exposure to the Planning Commission.
26 Commissioner Kaczor reported he has been in contact with the Public Works Director and the
27 trees which are being removed for installation of the tennis courts will be replaced and the courts
28 will be open for the VillageFest tournament.
29 Commissioner Kaczor reported his attendance at the Ice Cream Social event and stated there was
30 a huge number of residents in attendance. He supported Gondorchin's idea of citizen input and
6 suggested that a box for submittal of ideas could be included at VillageFest.
32 Commissioner Kaczor noted the noise from airplane traffic last Sunday and stated this may

1 increase substantially with the opening of the north-south runway.
2 Commissioner Gondorchin.suggested the possibility of having a piece of park equipment on
3 display at VillageFest as an opportunity to solicit funds for the equipment.
4 Commissioner Makowske apologized for missing the last two Commission meetings. He
5 reported that the Storm Water Task Force has folded barring any new problems. There will be a
6 social event on June 27 which is being hosted by Councilmember Faust and his wife, Diane.
7 Commissioner Makowske reported that the St. Anthony Civic Orchestra recently held two major
8 concerts, one with the Sister City Band of Salo, Finland and one for the purpose of fund-raising.
9 Both events were very successful.
10 Commissioner Makowske noted there has been a lot discussion in regard to empty buildings in
11 the Industrial Park and asked if there was anything the City can do to help remedy this situation.
12 He noted this would appear,to be an ideal location as it is near the downtown area.
13 Ms. Moore-Sykes stated she was not aware of, and did not sense a need for assistance in that
14 area.
Commissioner Makowske stated he hoped that as the City starts to look at the south end of the
16 City it will go beyond ideas and take action.
17 Commissioner Thompson stated he was impressed with the landscaping at the Freedom Gas
18 Station site.
19 Chair Bergstrom stated he is involved with the Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts in the area and they
20 recently held their Scouting for Food Event. As a result of this event,2,091 pounds of food from
21 the City of St. Anthony were delivered to the SACA house.
22 Ms. Moore-Sykes reported the Blanske Brothers, who built the Mini Storage and the townhouses
23 across from Goodyear on Silver Lake Road, are interested in the City-acquired property on
24 Kenzie Terrace. They are considering single-level townhouses and will be meeting with Staff to
25 discuss this further.
26 Chair Bergstrom questioned the status of the Point-of-Sale Ordinance.
27 Ms. Moore-Sykes stated the proposed Ordinance was discussed by the City Council at a Work
28 Session and will again be presented for consideration to the Planning Commission.
Chair Bergstrom reminded the Commission of the Work Session scheduled for July 16 at 6:00
P.M. to discuss implementation of the Comprehensive Plan. He asked the Commissioners to
31 look through the Plan and come prepared with ideas.
