2 Chair Gondorchin asked the Commissioners if they had any questions of staff.
3 Commissioner Franzese noted that she was not comfortable with the wording of the
4 ordinance as written. She suggested the ordinance would be clearer if the exception to
5 the 6 foot fence was listed at the end of the first sentence of Section 2, Subd. 3.
6 Commissioner Makowske asked if there were other cases that may not be covered under
7 this ordinance that should be incorporated. City Manager Morrison stated that this
8 ordinance should cover most cases and suggested new issues be addressed as they arise.
9 Dr. David M. Ferguson, 3101 Bell Lane, expressed concern on how this ordinance would
10 affect other residents living on corner lots and that it not remove anyone's ability to have
11 privacy. Commissioner Makowske reviewed situations that this ordinance will address.
12 Commissioner Franzese read the Ordinance section which addresses the height of deck
13 fences and raised deck fences. Dr. Ferguson stated he hopes the Planning Commission
14 will consider variance requests for corner lots with steep grades to assure privacy fences
15 provide privacy.
16 Chair Gondorchin closed the public hearing at 7:16 P.M.
17 Motion by Franzese, second by Horst to recommend Council approval of an •
18 amendment to the City's current ordinance relating to corner lots, amending Section
19 1605.01 by adding Subd. 80 and Subd. 82; and relating to fences, amending section
20 1320.03, Subd. 3 as presented.
21 Commissioner Franzese requested that the City Attorney review the language and
22 placement of the final sentence in Section 2, Subd. 3.
23 Motion carried unanimously.
24 B. Ordinance amendment relating to ground signs.
25 At 7:20 P.M., Chair Gondorchin opened the Public Hearing for an ordinance amendment
26 which would change the definition of ground signs to assure landscaping. The height of
27 ground signs would be increased from 5 feet to 8 feet; the surface area of signs having
28 one surface is increased from 20 to 34 square feet: the surface area of signs having two
29 copy surfaces is increased from 32 to 68 square feet; and, buildings with two or more
30 businesses are allowed 2 or more copy surfaces to total 80 square feet. The provisions of
31 the sign ordinance relating to bonuses will be removed.

1 Dr. David M. Ferguson, 3101 Bell Lane, stated that while he wants to welcome business to St.
2 Anthony, he is concerned that approval of this ordinance amendment would encourage
3 businesses to desire even larger signs, possibly billboards. He asked why this amendment is
4 being considered.
5 Commissioner Franzese reported that an in depth study of existing ground signs had been done
6 and that all existing ground signs will be in compliance with this ordinance amendment. She
7 pointed out that St. Anthony's ordinance is still more restrictive than most other communities and
8 this ordinance amendment should eliminate the need for as many variance requests. She felt that
9 these amendments would not affront anyone's good taste.
10 Chair Gondorchin expressed that the Commission's main motivation for changing the ordinance
11 was to alleviate the need for so many variance requests. Dr. Ferguson noted that variances are
.:. 12 available to ensure compliance and it may be better to consider the signs one by one. He felt
13 with the new ordinance in place,there will be no control. Chair Gondorchin noted that new signs
14 will not be any larger than current ones.
15 Commissioner Faust assured that the Ordinance will fulfill the need for standardization and solid
16 guidelines. He stated it accommodates the sensibility of city and business, and pointed out that
granting variances can bring inconsistencies.
18 Commissioner Franzese explained that it has also become more difficult for City Council to
19 grant variances because the legislation has changed and become more strict in it's policies.
20 Chair Gondorchin closed the public hearing at 7:36 P.M.
21 To assure the use of landscaping, Commissioner Franzese asked that the last sentence in Section
22 1400.04, Subd. 11 be revised to state, ". . . and landscaped to enhance the appearance of the
23 signage." Consensus was reached to make this revision.
24 Motion by Makowske, second by Horst to recommend Council approval an amendment to the
25 City's ordinance relating to signs, amending Section 1400.04 and 1400.10 of Ordinance 1994-
26 003, as presented"and with the following revision:
27 1. Section 1400.04, Subd. 11 to read as follows:
28 Any sign which.-is,freestanding by.virtue of being structurally independent of any
29 structure or object, and is affixed to the ground by means of a base with no visibility
30 between the bottom of the sign and the base on which it is attached, and landscaped to

1 VI. MISCELLANEOUS.
2 A. Variances
3 City Manager Momson explained that he had included this section of the code to furnish the
4 members with a basis upon which to guide them in their decisions regarding granting of
5 variances. He stated that the items under Subd. 3. in the code are the most important to establish
6 and he will include this page of the code in the Planning Commission's packet each time there is
7 a variance public hearing to assure the four criteria established by State Statute are properly
8 addressed.
9 B. Redevelopment Plan- 3111 Silver Lake Road.
10 In his staff report, City Manager Momson explained that the goal of the HRA is to improve the
11 housing stock and increase housing evaluation. He noted that Minnesota State Statute 469.028
12 requires an application by the HRA with a redevelopment plan. The process for the
13 redevelopment of 3111 Silver Lake Road has been as follows:
14 1. HRA applies and receives authorization to proceed from the City Council - August 23rd.
15 2. Planning Commission receives Redevelopment Plan for its study and approval. A written
16 opinion from the Planning Commission is necessary within 30 days - September 20th.
17 3. Need copy of Redevelopment Plan for Council and Planning Commission. A statement
18 of proposed financing in Plan with a written opinion of a Planning agency.
19 .4. Before approving any Redevelopment Plan,the Council must hold a public hearing on
20 the Redevelopment Plan- October 11th.
21 5. Close on the property any time after October 11th.
22 6. After closing,request proposals from developers to acquire property from City with
23 conditions to demolish and then to construct a house valued at$125,000 (includes lot) -
24 November 30, 1994, 10:00 A.M.
25 City Manager Momson explained the financing for redevelopment and introduced photographs
26 of the property for the Planning Commission's review.
27 Commissioner Faust questioned the stated "years to pay back" figure in the financial statement
28 provided by City Manager Momson. He believes that it will take more time to reimburse the
29 City for funding of the Redevelopment project since only about 18%of the total tax bill goes to
30 the City.
31 City Manager Momson explained that the pay back figure includes the total tax bill. He stated
32 that he will check the figure in question to determine the City's pay back date. He reiterated that
33 the main objective of the Redevelopment program is to upgrade the city house stock, control •
34 redevelopment and increase valuation of the community.

1 In response to Faust's question, City Manager Morrison explained that in this case the
2 property owner contacted the City indicating interest. He indicated the Council has
3 requested a report from the Building Inspector to determine whether additional variances
4 will be needed. Also, the property owner will be required to obtain an updated survey.
5 Motion by Horst, second by Franzese to approve the St. Anthony Housing and
6 Redevelopment Authority Redevelopment Plan for 3111 Silver Lake Road and
7 Authorizing.the Use of H.R.A. Funding with the following condition:

9 true value for City reimbursement.
10 Motion carried unanimously.
11 C. Work meeting to review CUB Foods/Knox Lumber project
12 Commissioner Bergstrom asked City Manager Morrison if it would be possible to
13 schedule a Concept Review regarding the upcoming issues with CUB Foods and Knox
14 Lumber prior to the scheduled October Planning Commission meeting. He expressed
15 concern that there may be many questions regarding variances, conditional use permits,
16 and site approval, that need to be researched before the public hearing.
City Manager Mornson explained that concept review is not required by the City but he
18 would communicate with CUB Foods and Knox Lumber to see if this could be arranged.
19 Chair-Gondorchin suggested that attendance of a Council representative would also be
20 helpful. He requested that staff provide the Planning Commission with a detailed
21 package containing whatever may accompany the CUB/Knox project.
22 Commissioner Thompson inquired about the progress of the development of Apache
23 Plaza. City Manager Morrison stated that things are moving forward but an agreement
24 on TIF is needed so the Planning Commission and Council has time for review. He felt
25 there should be definite progress by November.
26 D. Community Center
27 Commissioner Franzen expressed interest in regards to the Community Center progress.
28 She also commended the City for holding the tax levy increase to 2.8% and the school
29 tax to a maximum level of 4.5%. She also commented favorably regarding the reduction
30 of abatements.
31 E. Planning Commission meeting packet

35 process.

6 Planning Commission Chairperson Gondorchin was present representing the Planning
7 Commission.
8 Gondorchin reported that the Planning Commission received input from Dr. Ferguson
9 regarding his concern about larger signs being permitted. However, the Planning
10 Commission feels the amendment will result in fewer variance requests and establishment
11 of consistent signage standards. Therefore,they recommended Council to approve the
12 requested ordinance amendment with the following changes:
13 a. Section 1400.04, Subd. 11. to read as follows:
Any sign which is freestanding by virtue of being structurally independent of
10 any structure or object, and is affixed to the ground by means-of a base with no visibility
16 between the bottom of the sign and the base on which it is attached, and landscaped to
17 enhance the appearance of the signage.
18 Councilmember Fleming questioned if the new sign on Silver Lake Road will conform
19 with the amendment to the ordinance.
20 City Manager Mornson reported that the proposal for that sign has been submitted and
21 will conform to this amendment.
22 Cindy Schulte,Imaginality, Inc., shared a photograph of a proposed sign for a St.
23 Anthony business that complies with the ordinance amendment. She expressed concern
24 as to when the amendment would be adopted, so their sign could be put into place before
25 frost.
26 Mayor Ranallo explained that there are always 3 readings by Council on an amendment
27 before it is adopted. This is done to ensure the public ample time to attend Public
28 Hearings and express their opinions. He stated the amendment would be adopted at the
29 October 25th Council meeting and suggested to Ms. Schulte,that the base for the sign
30 could be installed now.

1 Wagner reported on his attendance at the recent Friends of Library Club meeting at the St.
2 Anthony Branch. Charles Brown, Hennepin County Library Director, stated at the meeting that
3 there were no immediate plans for closing this branch library. Mr. Brown is plans to meet with
4 all the City Councils by the end of the year. There is a meeting at the Ridgedale Branch Library
5 for all members of the Hennepin County Friends of Library and volunteers on November 5th.
6 Wagner distributed peanuts and reminded those present of the upcoming Kiwanis.Peanut Day, a
7 fundraiser to be held on September 30, 1994.
8 Wagner also expressed sorrow at the recent passing of Ed Hance, who has been the City's
9 prosecuting attorney. He spoke of the need for service organizations in the St. Anthony area to
10 make a major effort in the drive for organ donors.
11 Fleming commented that there are two things involved with the risk of the St. Anthony branch
12 library closing. One being the budget and the other being low usage. She emphasized that it is
13 up to the residents to keep the library open by obtaining library cards and using the library.
14 Marks reported on a telephone call he received today from a St. Anthony resident. This resident
15 was concerned with having a large business, such as Knox, move into Apache. He felt it would
cause a hardship on the smaller hardware stores. Marks said he understood the resident's concern
but felt that St. Anthony will greatly benefit by the addition of Knox and CUB Foods. These
18 businesses will help the tax base which in turn funds the schools and other city matters.
19 Enrooth reported his attendance at a meeting of the Environmental Quality/Recycling Task
20 Force. They are becoming quite active and are writing an article which will be included in the
21 City's next newsletter.

1 Morrison reported that the Planning Commissiondid recommend the HRA proceed with the
2 purchase of 3111 Silver Lake Road. There is a public hearing scheduled for the Redevelopment
3 Plan on October 11th. The City will then close on the property with the owner with the
4 assistance of Dorsey and Whitney. At that time, they can begin to request proposals from
5 developers.
6 Mornson reported that the Planning Commission also requested that a Concept Review meeting
7 be scheduled with Knox Lumber and CUB Foods prior to the public hearings. Morrison added
8 that he has been in contact with both businesses and they have agreed to the idea. He stated that
9 the Planning Commission also requested that one or two of the councilmembers be in attendance
10 to offer their input.
11 Ranallo agreed to the idea and thought it would be of benefit to the Planning Commission. He
12 suggested that it be scheduled separately from the Planning Commission meeting.
13 Marks noted that it would also be helpful to have the City Attorney present at the Planning
14 Commission meeting when these issues were being addressed. Morrison responded that this has
