Commissioner Faust will attend the next 29 Council meeting. 30 31 PUBLIC HEARINGS: 32 33 NEDEGAARD CONSTRUCTION FOR EVERGREEN TOWNHOMES; SIGN 34 VARIANCE REQUEST. 35 36 The hearing was opened at 7:35 with no one present reporting failure to 37 receive the notice of hearing or objecting to its content. 38 39 Assistant to the City Manager VanderHeyden reported that Nedegaard wants 40 to place one sign on each of its four monument structures. The signs are 41 within the fifty square feet sign surface allowed by the ordinance and they 42 are also well-constructed and very aesthetically pleasing to the area. Staff 43 feels it is a reasonable request. 44 Motion carried unanimously. 45 A L. PLANNING COMMISSION 2 MINUTES, September 18, 1990 1 In response to Hansen's question as to whether the staff was shown the • 2 location of the four signs that were not included in the packet, 3 VanderHeyden said yes. Hansen said that it is important that detail of this 4 type be given to the Planning Commission prior to the meeting. 5 6 Madden clarified that the sign in the packet was not the same sign that was 7 erected. 8 9 Hansen asked if the applicant consulted with staff before the construction of 10 the monuments and whether they were ever given any indication regarding 11 permission for signage. VanderHeyden said they had consulted with staff 12 and that no commitment had been made regarding signage. 13 14 Brownell was concerned about the height of the fence. Werenicz added that 15 when that issue came up previously it was suggested that there might be a 16 request for a hand rail because of the drop in the grade. 17 18 Murphy said that the ten feet and 150 square feet overall plus the 19 monument indicates that maybe the variance should address that as well. 20 21 Brownell said there is a height problem, plus the 150 square foot problem, 22 plus the actual number of signs and the actual dimensions which may not be • 23 correctly stated. He said he is also concerned about the height of the fence. 24 25 Madden asked for a picture of the sign. The Commissioners reviewed the 26 photos and plans brought to the meeting by a representative of the 27 Company.. 28 29 VanderHeyden said that the first she learned of the change in signs was 30 tonight's meeting. 31 32 Madden said that while the development appears to be a welcome addition 33 to the community. He doesn't want the Company to feel the Commission is 34 nit-picking but the petition is lacking. However, there is need for clear 35 definition and actual sign design presented in advance. And the front yard 36 fence height should be addressed 37 38 Faust questioned whether all the information has-been provided to the 39 Commission and to the public for a public hearing to even be opened. 40 41 David P. Newman, from the Nedegaard Construction Company apologized for 42 any confusion caused. He clarified that a separate sign company constructs •, 43 the signs. He asked that the public hearing be opened because the request 44 for sign variance was less in scope than what was presented to the public. 45 PLANNING COMMISSION 3 MINUTES, Septenber IS. 1990 1 The public hearing opened at 7:51. �f 2 3 Newman first responded to the height question: city staff had reviewed the 4 dimensions of the monument including the height. The original proposal was 5 eight feet. That was changed to seven feet and staff was satisfied that it 6 conformed with city ordinances. Mr. Newman confirmed that there were no 7 agreements made regarding signage. The Company believes that is it 8 beneficial to have the monuments on both sides of the street. The place of 9 four signs is for one on each side of the driveway. 10 11 Newman said reasons for placing the variance request is because there are 12 two driveways entering the project and both should be marked. This 13 signage would give balance. He discouraged use of the median for signs. 14 Should the request be denied by the Commission, Newman said the Company 15 can live with one sign but this would present problems with identity and 16 aesthetics. 17 18 Hansen asked about the identification of addresses served by both 19 driveways. 20 21 Newman said it could be required but the residents would probably prefer 22 just to inform guests of east or west entrance. The Company is trying to 23 have signage that is neat and uncluttered and would like to move on with 24 the project. They are pleased with their relationship with the community. 25 Although they would like to move on, the issue is not critical for them. 26 27 Discussion ensued regarding difficulty in finding addresses. 28 29 The hearing was closed at 8:06. 30 31 Hansen said that he cannot see where the request meets the second or third 32 conditions called for in the Minnesota Statutes in that it does not pose a 33 hardship nor are the conditions of this portion of land unique in that it 34 should require additional signage. He feels that there are a numbers of 35 different types of signs that could mark entrances. In addition, he said that 36 Council has been taking a very tough approach to these requests and this one 37 wouldn't be treated differently. Hansen supports one sign for each entrance 38 and believes-four are unnecessary. 39 40 Brownell finds the project aesthetically pleasing but is opposed to granting 41 the variance in its present form because there is no hardship and no 42 necessity for four signs. He also believes the monuments are too high and ` 43 that this might also be a variance problem. He recommended tabling the 44 motion for additional information or denial. 45 _ PLANNING COMMISSION 4 MINUTES. September 18, 1990 1 Murphy said that incomplete packets made the decision more difficult. He 2 agreed the development looks nice and signs on each monument will make 3 the project look more finished and balanced. 4 5 Hansen would like a definition of the monuments and how they are 6 classified. 7 8 Motion by Brownell, second by Hansen to table the petition until next 9 month and that the petitioner be. provided with.a copy of the minutes of the 10 meeting so that he will know the concerns of the Planning Commission and 11 provide the additional information requested. 12 13 Murphy asked to add to the motion a request to address the four points of 14 concern: Height of monument; total square footage of the structures and of 15 the signage itself; the fence height issue; and clarification of whether it is a 16 monument or fence. 17 18 Brownell and Hansen accepted the addition to the motion. 19 Motion carried unanimously. 20 21 As a result of tabling, the request will not appear on the City Council agenda. 22 Mr. Newman clarified that the fourth request in the motion should be 23 directed to staff. 24 25 MISCELLANEOUS: 26 27 Chairman Madden stepped down from his position and Vice-Chairman 28 Hansen conducted the remainder of the meeting. 29 30 STREET ADDRESS REQUESTED 31 32 VanderHeyden said there was no precedent they could find to make a 33 decision on the request for the address change. Staff would like a 34 recommendation. 35 36 All people involved were notified of the meeting. The only party who did 37 not support the change never commented on the issue. 38 39 Madden asked for the change because the addresses face Foss Road but are 40 listed as 37th Avenue. 41 42 Hansen said that access from 37th Avenue doesn't make sense. • 43 44 Faust expressed concern for safety and confirmed that 911, et al would be _ = 45 informed-of the.changeover. = — _ PLANNING COMMISSION 5 MINUTES. September 18. 1990 1 2 Madden said that the one unit that said "no" to the change but indicated 3 there would be no hard feelings with a change. 4 5 Motion by Werenicz, second by Faust to recommend to the City Council to 6 approve the request for a change of address for the four units from 37th 7 Avenue NE to a Foss Road address; and noting that public notices were sent 8 and no one came to speak against that change. 9 Motion carried unanimously. 10 11 Motion by Werenicz, second by Murphy to adjourn at 8:37. 12 Motion carried unanimously. 13 14 Respectfully submitted, 15 16 Dorothy Fleming, 17 Commission Secretary ain thorn • i lla e FIDTE : APPROVAL = October 12 1990 TO : Planning Commission Members :FROM: Sue VanderHe den Assistant =TEM : REZONING PETITION Forrest and Marty Harstad of Harstad Companies, 1900 Silver Lake Road, New Brighton, are Petitioning the City to rezone the property- at 3816- Foss Road, from Light Industrial to R-3 Townhomes.

League of Minnesota Cities Topics: 22 a. The proposed policy on Charter Authority would limit the term 23 councilmembers could serve. This proposal is being addressed by the i24 Minnetonka Charter Commission even though the Attorney General said they 25 have no authority to do so. Mayor Ranallo said that at the League meeting 26 he told the members he believes such a mandate would take the decision 27 away from the voters. In addition, there is difficulty with smaller cities for 28 administrative reasons. Councilmembers were in agreement to 29 oppose such a proposal. 30 31 b. Minneapolis has a bill and asked that the League support extending 32 on-sale liquor until 2:00 a.m. because of their convention business. Council 33 members considered whether determination of time extension be statewide, 34 each city should decide, or just the convention area. Resort and border 35 communities favor a change. Councilmembers opposed a state-wide 36 change but would support,self-determination. 37 38 c. Mayor Ranallo has asked that the issue of one class of beer/wine in 39 grocery stores be moved to a top priority issue in order to assure the sale of 40 - liquor to be in a controlled situation. 41 42 2.

There has been a problem with hockey rink maintenance in the 8 Silver Point Park because of noise. 9 10 Signage 11 Ray Nelson has asked to have new signage on the SAV Liquors to match the 12 adjacent New Market store. Mayor Ranallo recommended that Nelson get 13 more prices for a sign and to price carpeting. 14 15 Future meetings 16 On October 1, Nelson will talk about liquor business and effects. 17 18 The Barr engineer will also be coming to talk to the council and have a 19 follow-up neighborhood meeting to lay out costs and available options on the 20 water drainage problem. 21 22 Refinancing of the HRA debt will be discussed. 23 24 Road Reconstruction 25 Only three people attended the road reconstruction meeting so members will 26 be contacted to see if there is still interest and send out reminded notices 27 before meeting. Burt would like to invite the members to the committee as a 28 whole to hear Bar and then have a follow-up meeting. Then they would be 29 invited to a neighborhood meeting with follow-up. 30 31 8.

REPORTS 2 3 A. Council 4 5 Mayor Ranallo thanked all of those who participated in the City's Clean- 6 Up Day on September 15th, noting a particular thanks to Councilmember 7 Enrooth and to Sue VanderHeyden. Councilmember Enrooth stated his "public" 8 thank you to Sue, noting she coordinated the activity and worked all day 9 at the clean up site. 10 11 Mayor Ranallo suggested some form of recognition, perhaps plaques, could 12 be given to the Clean Up Day volunteers. Councilmember Enrooth said he 13 would bring some recommendations regarding recognition back to the next 14 regular Council meeting. 15 16 Recently, Mayor Ranallo received three complaints regarding for-profit 17 businesses being .operated from individuals' homes. While he recognizes 18 that this type of activity occurs, the Mayor noted these businesses 19 were being operated with an apparent lack of discretion. The Public Works 20 Director issued citations to those individuals involved. Mayor Ranallo 21 requested Councilmembers to contact the Public Works Director when they 22 are made aware of activity such as this. 23 24 Councilmember Makowske has continued to receive calls from residents 25 expressing their concern and opposition to the Silver Lake Road project. . 26 She feels this issue needs further clarification in regards to that portion 27 of Silver Lake Road located in Hennepin County. This portion of roadway 28 will not be widened. 29 30 Mayor Ranallo recalled that letters were sent to all affected residents 31 in both Hennepin and Ramsey Counties explaining the details of the pro- 32 posed project. Councilmember Makowske knew of the letters, but felt that 33 some residents may not have read the letter carefully and others needed 34 reassurance that their portion of the roadway was not designated to be 35 widened. 36 37 Councilmember Makowske has been contacted by some residents who recently 38 attended a Crime Watch Program sponsored by the City's Police Department. 39 She was advised they felt additional lights in the City would enhance 40 resident security and they were circulating petitions to support lighting 41 requests. These petitions will be presented to the Council . 42. 43 Councilmember Enrooth observed that there are a number of ways home security 44 can be increased and felt they should be discussed at the Crime Watch 45 meetings. _He suggested ,convert-ing gas 1 fights. to electricity was all option.-, 46 a-s is the use of motion sensor devices. Councilmember Enrooth felt this item 47 could be a council work session agenda item. 4.8 49 Councilmember Marks received a complaint regarding the Lions Club White • 50 Cane fundraising project. A sign for the project was placed at a roadway Regular Council Meeting September 25, 1990 page 4 1 location which blocked the entrance to a resident 's driveway. The resident • 2 needed to exit his vehicle to move the sign so he could enter his drive- 3 way. Traffic flow was interrupted and the delay. resulted in some very 4 frustrated motorists. The resident stated he was supportive of this Lions 5 Club project, but the situation was awkward and disruptive. He would have 6- appreciated being notified of the location of the sign earlier and 7 indicated he would have been willing to cooperate by parking at another 8 location. 9 10 Councilmember Enrooth suggested the City Council should not give blanket 11 approval to requests such as the Lions Club request without having all 12 of the details and specifics associated with the activity. 13 14 Councilmember Marks noted he also has received phone calls from residents 15 expressing their concerns regarding the Silver Lake Road project. 16 17 Councilmember Marks has observed a relatively small number of bicyclists 18 observe traffic signs. He requested the Police Department address this 19 matter. 20 21 Councilmember Wagner attended a breakfast sponsored by the International 22 Special Olympics Competition 1991 Committee. Accompanying him was Tom �3 Miller from the Kiwanis Club and Dave Abraham from the School District. 24 25 The purpose of the breakfast was to meet with representatives of other • 26 countries, representatives of municipalities in Minnesota, School District �7 groups, and civic organizations who will be participating in this event. 28 The event will take place in July of 1991 in the Twin City area. 29 30 Councilmember Wagner stated the needs of the Competition are in the areas 31 of transportation, hosting of families, athletes, and coaches, and publicity. 32 The Rotary Club has undertaken the responsibility of finding accommodations 33 for the participants. 34 35 The Special Olympics Committee has assigned various countries to cities. 36 St. Anthony has been assigned Tunisia and the Ivory Coast . To date, there 37 are six participants coming from the Ivory Coast .and none from Tunisia. 38 Councilmember Wagner stated he attemped to have Finland assigned to 39 St. Anthony, but was not successful . St. Anthony's Sister City is Salo, 40 Finland. He noted that the School District is developing curriculum about 41 Special Olympics. 42 43 Mayor Ranallo attended a Ramsey County League meeting at which Tony Bouza 44 was the guest speaker. Bouza chairs the Charitable Gambling Commission. The 4r, Mayor cautioned that a decrease of pull tab and charitable gambling profits -746 ' " is'anticipated" and retip"lents of 'these' prof-i'ts-should not—coritinue-to depend 47 heavily on these funds. Laws governing these funds relative to municipalities 48 are to be changed by the Legislature. The Mayor has brought this to the 49 City Attorney's attention and requested some direction on the potential 50 impact this legislation may have on the City of St. Anthony. • Regular Council Meeti=ng September 25, 1990 page 5 1 Su.e VanderHeyden advised that the City Manager and the Public Works 2 Director will be meeting next week with representatives of Ramsey 3 County to discuss the Silver Lake Road project. The Mayor stated the 4 project can be stopped if this were to be the decision of the City Council . 5 G VanderHeyden noted that $198.00 was received from Sroga' s to be used for 7 the City's D.A.R.E. Program. This money resulted from two cars junked by 8 residents at the Clean-Up Day. 9 10 7. PUBLIC HEARINGS . 11 12 There were no public hearings. 13 14 8. NEW BUSINESS 15 16 A. Presentation of Information Regarding School Referendum 17 Crystal Meriwether, Superintendent of School District #282 explained that 18 the purpose for which the Referendum is being discussed at this meeting 19 is twofold. The first purpose is to explain why the Referendum is being 20 placed on the ballot at this point in time and the impacts it would have 21 if it were not approved; the second purpose is to solicit support from 22 Councilmembers individually and as an elected body. She referred to the �3 longstanding relationship of cooperation which has existed between the 24 City Council and the School Board. • 25 26 Dave Shapely, Finance Director of the District, distributed material which 27 addressed an overview of the 1990 Referendum Campaign. With the use of 28 overhead slides, Shapely reviewed costs, student population and expenditures 29 over the last ten years in the District. He noted that the School District 30 is experiencing a modest growth in resident students and nearly one hundred 31 students from open enrollment. He observed that there have been "controlled" 32 expenditures being administered by the School District, but that the revenues 33 have been "erratic" as they are controlled- by the Legislature. 34 35 The Referendum is seeking $750,000. The failure of the 1989 Referendum 36 finds the School District operating by using the Fund Balance. If the 37 1990 Referendum fails, the School District will be operating at a deficit. 38 39 Councilmember Makowske inquired what the impact of open enrollment would 40 have on the School District's funds. Shapely responded that for each five 41 students coming in via open enrollment , one leaves. The adjustment for the 42 gain in student population and flat foundation dollarsis not known until 43 October so the School Board could not use this data in its budgetary 44 deliberations. 46 Shapely stated that the referendum levy is discretionary and that the School 47 Board is not required to levy the entire amount approved. 48 49 Mayor Rana] lo requested Shapely to explain why the school's portion of tax • 50 dollars decreased in 1989. There were three reasons for this decrease. Regu 1 a r--Counc i-1-.Mee t i ng -- - September 25, 1990 page 6 1 The debt service was retired as the capital bonds were paid off. The 2 second factor is there was a $260,000 error made by the County which 3 resulted in an incease of that amount in 1988-1989. The third reason 4 is that tax law changes shifted a large portion of state aid funds to 5 the school districts away from cities. 6 7 The Mayor felt residents should be informed that they were previously 8 paying school taxes at an .higher level , 59% tax capacity before it 9 dropped last year to approximately 33%. It was noted this percentage 10 will raise again but the reason for its decline should be made clear. 11 Shapely agreed. 12 Councilmember Marks advised that about seventeen years ago he had served 13on a Declining Enrollment Task Force in the School District. He noted that 14 5 at that time the District had very low administrative costs. He inquired 15 how today's administrative costs compared to. surrounding school districts. 17 Shapely responded that administrative costs are higher as there are 18 fewer students and these costs also include non-instructional personnel 19 _salaries. 20 21 Michael Volna, School Board Chairperson, stated that School District #282 22 is the second smallest district in the State, but offers quality education �3 in that 70% of the District' s teachers have their Master Degree. He also 24 noted the dissolution or .reorganization of the District would not save 25 any taxpayer dollars. • 26 27 June Stuhr, a resident, stated she and her family moved to St. Anthony 28 because of the opportunities for quality education. She feels the District �9 is unique and provides a very positive atmosphere for academic achievement. 30 Mrs. Stuhr is of the opinion that property values would ,decrease if the 31 School District were dissolved. Sherry Granrud, also a' resident, shared 32 Mrs. Stuhr's opinions and feels opportunities afforded her children in 33 school are very valuable. 34 35 The Director of Community Services stated that whatever avenue the 36 School District takes will impact on the community services programs. 37 Dissolution would cease all operation of the Department. Tuitioning or 38 closing portions of the School District would seriously handicap some 39 of the Department's activities and deny the use of some facilities. 40 ,41 Councilmember Enrooth said that 83% of the City's residents do not have 42 children in school . He felt an important factor to be stressed is that a 43 large percentage of community residents do participate in community 44 service programs. Every age group would be impacted if these programs were 45 d i scone i:nued. .. _ - . .-. .r; ... 46 47 Councilmember Wagner observed that there would also be an impact on property 48 values if the Referendum is not approved. 49 . 49 Motion by Wagner to endorse the Referendum passage. Mayor Ranallo suggested • Regular Council Meeting September 25, 1990 page 7 1 no action be taken by the Council at this time, but the matter be 2 placed on the -next Council meeting_ agenda. 3 4 B. Planning Commission Action 5 Commissioner Jerry Faust was in attendance representing the Planning 6 Commission. 7 8 VanderHeyden noted that at the Planning Commission's last meeting there 9 was public hearing. That public hearing was held to discuss a request 10 from Nedegaard Construction regarding a sign variance request for the 11 Evergreen Townhomes project. The request was tabled and therefore was 12 not on the Council agenda. 13 14 1 . Request to Change Street Address 15 A petition dated August 28, 1990 was received by the Planning Commission 16 and the Council requesting street address changes for the following 17 addresses in Fosston Townhouses: 18 From 3501 37th Avenue Northeast to 3501 Foss Road 19 From 3503 37th Avenue Northeast to 3503 Foss Road 20 From 3505 37th Avenue Northeast to 3505 Foss Road 21 From 3507 37th Avenue Northeast to 3507 Foss Road 22 23 The members of the Planning Commission unanimously recommended that the • 24 Council approve the request for these address changes. 25 26 Councilmember Enrooth inquired if these changes would result in any 27 direct costs to the City. VanderHeyden responded that only staff time 28 would incur some costs. She noted that no precedent in this type of 29 request existed and so no actual costs could be determined. Councilmember 30 Marks recalled that this type of request had been granted twice in the 31 past but this was before VanderHeyden and the present City Manager were 32 employed by the City. 33 34 Motion by Marks, second by Makowske to approve the street address change 35 as recommended by the Plan..ing Commission and as detailed in the minutes 36 of the September 18, 1990 Planning Commission meeting. 37 38 Motion carried unanimously 39 40 C. Fire Utility Truck Bid 41 Fire Chief Johnson introduced Rod Miller, a newly-hired firefighter and 42 Jay Olson, who was promoted to rank of Captain in the Fire Department. 43 44 Chief Johnson advised the Council that two bids for the fire usility._t.r-uck._.._ 45 had been received. The low bid is from Road Rescue in the amount of $69, 154. 46 He noted that this item had been budgeted for in the 1989 and 1990 budgets. 47 The low bid is approximately $3.000 more than was budgeted. Also, the 48 bid received from Conway did not meet the bid specifications as the truck • 49 was too tall to pass under the door of the fire department, the proposed 50 location of the heater was incorrect and the compartment doors did not Regular Council Meeting September 25, 1990 page 8 1 meet -the specifications. 2 3 Chief Johnson also noted that the calculations of the Conway Company 4 were incorrect and would have resulted in the Department receiving 5 much more equipment than was listed in the options. b 7 Motion by Marks, second by Wagner to accept the bid of Road Rescue 8 including the options as recommended by the Fire Department. 9 10 Motion carried unanimously 11 12 The Chief advised that this unit will be used to store hazardous materials 13 so there will be less reliance on neighboring fire departments. Some of 14 these hazardous materials are presently being stored in the department 15 building and. they are bulky and require considerable space. 16 17 9. UNFINISHED BUSINESS 18 19 A. Sections 700 and 1300 of the Proposed Recodified City Ordinances 20 VanderHeyden advised that those sections which need dramatic changes Y1 are being taken out of the Code and reworked. Some sections merely 22 need updating. 23 24 Councilmember Wagner noted that the last page of the material supplied 25 appears to be incomplete. 26 �7 Councilmember Marks observed that Section 700 Park Rules which addresses 28 Practice of Sports appears to need no change. This was confirmed by Vander- 29 Heyden. 30 31 Councilmember Makowske stated that these sections contain all ' the rules 32 but none of the fines if these rules are not observed. 33 34 VanderHeyden stated that fines are covered in another section. 35 36 10.
