2 According to the drawing submitted by Mr. Jensen,the proposed garage will be constructed in
3 the sideyard setback located on the north side of the.property, leaving three feet to the-property
4 line. Front and-rear setbacks will be maintained according.to the requirements of the City's
5 Zoning Ordinance. Staff advised Mr. Jensen to talk with his neighbors about his proposed
6 garage construction.
7
8 Mr. Jensen will also need a variance as part of this garage setback.permit request because the
9 proposed garage is 24 feet by 30 feet and is 720 square feet. Section 1650.02, Subd. 6 of the
10 City's Ordinance states that the garage will cover an area of no more than 528 square feet and
11 will not have a dimension greater than 24 feet located either on the sideyard or rear yard. Mr.
12 Jensen is proposing to build the garage larger than allowed by Ordinance so that he can store
13 recreational vehicles and other equipment.
14
15 The lot coverage of the proposed project is 34.9%,including the driveway and sidewalk and is
16 within the City's 35%lot coverage restriction. Staff has received no calls or other
17 communication stating opposition to the Jensen's proposal.
18
19 Chair Bergstrom noted that Mr.Jensen was absent from the meeting. Ms. Moore-Sykes stated
20 that she left a message at his home yesterday regarding the meeting. In the applicant's absence,
21 Chair Bergstrom closed the public hearing at 7:07 P.M.
22
23 Commissioner Horst asked if the size of the structure was ever an issue. Ms. Moore-Sykes stated
24 that the size was discussed at the concept review and Mr. Jensen indicated he needed the space.
25 Commissioner Horst asked what criteria would be involved in getting a variance in size. Chair
26 Bergstrom stated that it would be necessary to demonstrate a hardship.
27
28 Commissioner Makowske asked whether the whole garage permit process was designed so the
29 project review process' strict guidelines would not apply. Ms. Moore=Sykes stated that the
30 setback permit process is designed to alleviate requests for variances.
31
32 Commissioner Gondorchin stated that Mr. Jensen has filled out the necessary paperwork for the.
33 setback permit and variance and questioned the necessity of demonstrating a hardship.
34
35 Chair Bergstrom noted that Mr.Jensen arrived at 7:09 P.M. and,therefore,re-opened the public
36 hearing at 7:10 P.M.
37
38 Commissioner Horst apologized for the nearly 2 months which have lapsed since the original
39 concept review and asked for a summary of the discussion as it related to the size of the proposed
40project. _
41
42 Mr:Jensen stated that the large garage is necessary to increase storage capacity. Commissioner
43 Horst asked if Mr. Jensen has consulted with all neighbors affected by this project. Mr. Jensen
-44 stated that all his neighbors are aware of and support his plan.

2 Chair Bergstrom closed the public hearing at 7:13 P.M.
: . 3 .
4 Chair Bergstrom stated that not many people have a large enough garage for their needs. He.
5 expressed uncertainty over whether a variance based on size could be granted. Commissioner
6 Horst questioned whether the large size of the garage is within the bounds of the setback
7 variance.
8
9 Chair Bergstrom stated that he was not on the Planning Commission at the time that the garage
10 setback permit process was drafted.
11
12 Commissioner Gondorchin,stated that a survey was done to determine the standard garage size of
13 residents in the City and this was incorporated into the process.
14
15 Commissioner Thompson stated that the phasing out of single car garages'is a positive trend.
16
17 Commissioner Horst stated that the trend is definitely a neighborhood improvement,but
18 expressed concern over the precedence being created and questioned the criteria upon which this
19 process is based. Commissioner Gondorchin stated that since lot coverage has expanded,the size
20 of the garage is no longer a factor.
21
22 Chair Bergstrom suggested that use of lot coverage as a basis for the granting of variances will
23 bring-forth other applicants with the same logic,and therefore the ordinance might need revision.
24
25 Commissioner Gondorchin agreed that the ordinance should be revisited as the demand for larger
26 garages increases.
27 As a general note, Chair Bergstrom stated that neighbors of Mr. Jensen had been notified and no
28 opposition to this project has been raised to City staff. He also stated that,this item will be
29 presented to the City Council at their next meeting and encouraged Mr. Jensen to attend,
30 apologizing again for the delay in resolving this issue-and stating the Commission'.s appreciation
31 for his patience.
32 Motion by Chair Bergstrom, second by Commissioner Kaczor,that the garage setback permit be
33 approved as described in submittals from Mr.Jensen with respect to 1)the 3-foot side_yard
34 setback and 2)the increase in total size of structure.
35 - Motion carried unanimously.
36 VII. OTHER BUSINESS.

37 1. Report From the Parks Commission Chair.'
38 Chair Bergstrom welcomed Parks Commission Chair Carol Jindra to the meeting, stating the
Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes
August 18, 1998
Page 4
1 Planning Commission was pleased and excited about the Parks Commission's role as part of the
2 larger redevelopment of the City.
. 3 .
4 Ms. Jindra stated that she has been a life-long resident of St.Anthony,and has participated on the
5 Parks Task Force for the past year. She stated that the Parks Commission has held two meetings,
6 the first of which was strictly introductions. The Parks Commission consists of 7 commissioners
7 as well as 3 representatives from civic groups who attend as non-voting members: the Sports
. 8 Boosters, Community Services,and the School Board. Ms. Jindra is an elected chairperson. The
9 Parks Commission to date has accomplished the designation of Parks Ordinance and By-Laws,
10 and currently its main focus is Silver Point Park because of the proposed flood mitigation
11 project. Ms. Jindra stated that discussions are on-going concerning Central Park, and they hope
12 to have final plans and decisions to present to the City Council after the Parks Commission's
13 next meeting. Ms. Jindra invited comments and input from the Planning Commission.
14
15 Commissioner Makowske questioned whether the northern area of Central Park was designed to
16 assist with drainage problems. Ms. Jindra confirmed that the northern area has been designed as
17 a berm to eliminate flooding on Skycroft Drive.
18
19 Chair Bergstrom asked whether there would be a loss or gain in the total number of existing
20 ballfields, soccer fields and rinks. Ms. Andra stated that Central Park would gain a ball field
21- which would potentially be used as a soccer field.
22
23 Chair Bergstrom asked for the reaction of the School Board to these changes, since it owns part
24 of Central Park. Ms. Jindra stated that the School Board is supportive of the Parks Commission
25 and anxious to proceed. She added that specific financial support has not been discussed with
26 them regarding the parks redevelopment. She also stated that a School Board member will attend
27 all Parks Commission meetings as liaison.
28
29 Ms. Jindra stated that because of park redevelopment,the Parks Commission is looking into the
30 possibility of the temporary leasing of some ballfields behind Unisys. In addition,the Salvation
31 Army camp may soon be up for sale and the Parks Commission hopes to participate in a program
32 of some sort with Ramsey County to acquire and/or utilize that land. .
33
34 Ms. Andra concluded that there are a multitude of issues which the Parks Commission will be
35 addressing,but because of recent flooding,their main focus is 1) Silver Point Park and 2)Central
36 Park. The Parks Commission has the full support of the City Council and hopes that the
37 Planning Commission will follow suit. She stated that the Parks Commission hopes to arrive at
38 some sort of solicitation program for residents of the City, asking for comments/input,possibly
39 through the City Bulletin. The Parks Commission is eager to involve the general public in their
40 meetings through audience participation.
41
42 Chair Bergstrom asked if the Parks Commission's project timing is being driven by the
43 reconstruction of 29th Avenue. Ms. Jindra confirmed that according to WSB,the reconstruction
44 project on 29th Avenue must coincide with the planning of Silver Point Park.

1
2 Commissioner Makowske asked what the role and focus of the Parks Commission will be once
3 the configuration of these parks.is implemented. Ms.Jindra stated that the.Parks.Commission .
4 has not made any plans beyond those currently on the table. She reiterated that last week's Parks-
5 Commission meeting was really their first and to date their main focus has been the sharing of
6 ideas.
7
8 Chair Bergstrom referred to a section of the City's updated Comprehensive Plan,a document
9 required by the Metropolitan Council which is in final approval stage,which refers to park
10 planning. He suggested that Ms. Jindra obtain a copy from Ms. Moore-Sykes at her earliest
11 convenience. The plan provides an analysis of parks within the City in comparison with other
12 communities as well as recommendations regarding the acquisition of other property for
13 parkland, specifically the public works garage. The recommendations allow for the removal of
14 that facility to a new location due to conflicting use within the neighborhood, and the conversion
15 of the acreage into a park. Chair Bergstrom encouraged Ms. Jindra to bring the Plan to the Parks
16 Commission for general discussion and incorporation into their agenda. Ms. Jindra added that
17 the potential for passive parkland may exist when and if the City purchases several houses due to
18 flooding.
19
20 Chair Bergstrom thanked Ms. Jindra for her participation in the Planning Commission's meeting. .
21 2. Storm Water Management Ordinance Review
22 Ms. Moore-Sykes reviewed the Ordinance for Storm Water Management. The adoption by the
23 City Council of this ordinance is required by the Metropolitan Council before they will approve
24 the Comprehensive Plan Update.
25
26 Chair Bergstrom stated that after reviewing the proposed ordinance,he had some minor
27 comments. All state and federal water management districts' ordinances focus on construction
28 projects which are over 5 acres and do not require the same level of detail for projects which are
29 under 5 acres. He stated that the content is appropriate for commercial developments and
30 residential developments of significant size,but does not apply to small residential projects.
31 Comments or suggestions for dealing with smaller projects would be appreciated.
32
33 Ms. Moore-Sykes stated that this proposed ordinance was taken from a model ordinance
34 submitted by the Metropolitan Council, and questions or comments regarding its content should
35 be presented to the City Council for discussion. The Metropolitan Council's model document is
36 based largely on the requirements of outlying suburbs where large tract developments occur
37 regularly.
. 38
39 Commissioner Gondorchin expressed the need for reinforcement of limits to be incorporatedin
40 the proposed ordinance. He referred to Section 9 which addresses regulations for use of lawn
41 fertilizer, and the practical impossibility of imposing these regulations on the average
42 homeowner.
Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes
August 18, 1998
Page 6
1 Ms. Moore-Sykes stated that there is a push across the metropolitan community for areas with
2 lakes and wetlands such as St.Anthony to renew concern over fertilizer use and disposal of grass
3 clippings.
4 -
5 Chair Bergstrom stated that the proposed ordinance should be utilized as a guideline only, and
6 stressed the importance of recognizing that it will be difficult to enforce.
7
8 Commissioner Gondorchin agreed that the proposed ordinance should be viewed as a
9 recommendation not to use fertilizer,but if fertilizer is used,residents should follow the
10 guidelines.
11
12 Chair Bergstrom stated that other communities include these kinds of items in public education
13 notices. Ms. Moore-Sykes confirmed that the information had been included in the City's
14 Newsletter.
15 VIII. COMNMNTS.
16 Commissioner Gondorchin stated that the resident's survey provided an interesting new
17 perspective on the demographics in St. Anthony. Residents.expressed concerns regarding
18 flooding; but he expressed greater concern that residents had no concerns. He highlighted that
19 30%of residents surveyed had no priorities.
20
21 Commissioner Gondorchin asked about the absence of Lorri Kopischke,the previous recording
22 secretary. Ms. Moore-Sykes stated that she has moved to another area. Commissioner
23 Gondorchin stated that her ability to capture the flavor of the meeting will be missed and her
24 attention to detail was greatly appreciated. Ms. Moore-Sykes introduced Mary Mullen,the new
25 recording secretary.
26
27 Commissioner Gondorchin asked if there had been any progress on Apache Plaza. Ms. Moore-
28 Sykes stated that there appears that things are moving along steadily, and everyone is encouraged
29 by the developments.
30
31 Commissioner Gondorchin asked if there was any discussion on the site of New Market. Ms.
32 Moore-Sykes stated that Dick Krier will attend the September Planning Commission meeting
33 and the City Council is interested in pursuing his proposals.
34
35 Commissioner Kaczor stated that the tennis courts are definitely well-lit! The lights usually go
36 off around 11:30 p.m. or midnight. It is nice to see that they are used constantly.
37 -
38 Commissioner Makowske asked if the Commissioners would receive a copy of the most updated
39 version of the Comprehensive Plan. Ms. Moore-Sykes said that she would ensure that each
40 Commissioner received a copy.
41
42 Commissioner Thompson attended a block party on Macalaster Drive in conjunction with
43 National Night Out. Many residents expressed resentment and anger regarding the digging in

August 18, 1998
Page 7
1 Emerald Park. They felt that all the work being done was for the benefit of 2 houses at one end
2 of the park; in addition,they felt these issues should be addressed in New Brighton since.some
3 flooding comes from that city.
4
5 Commissioner Thompson also attended a parade in LeSeuer while there for his wife's class
6 reunion, both of which they enjoyed immensely.
7
8 Commissioner Horst was surprised by the overwhelming support of residents in favor of liquor
9 and food operations revealed by the resident survey. Chair Bergstrom stated that the two were
10 not mutually exclusive.
11
12 Chair Bergstrom asked if the City had received a digital map from BRW. Ms. Moore-Sykes
13 stated that she spoke with Mr. Weber on July 31, 1998 and BRW uses Freehand, a Macintosh
14 program, for their mapping system. She added that the City of St. Anthony does not have
15 Macintosh-compatible hardware,nor does any other city with which she_is familiar. Chair
16 Bergstrom stated that the Planning Commission should revisit BRW's contract, as BRW should
17 be using an IBM-compatible database.
18
19 Chair Bergstrom expressed regret at the lack of a quorum at last month's Planning Commission
.20 meeting. He formally requested that-the.City Council appoint another Planning Commissioner as
21 soon as possible,which would aid in preventing another such lack of a quorum from occurring.
22
23 Commissioner Horst stated that the City Council was waiting until the end of the year to appoint
24 another Commissioner,presupposing that a 7th Commissioner would not be important to the
25 work of the Commission. Ms.Moore-Sykes agreed and stated that she would present this issue
26 along with a summary of this meeting to the City Council at their next meeting.
27
28 Ms. Moore-Sykes stated that there has been a proposal to add a convenience store in the
29 shopping center near Town`N Country.
30
31 Chair Bergstrom addressed the audience in the Council Chamber, asking if they wished to speak.
32
33 Richard Miller,2717 30th Avenue NE,noticed the Water Management Ordinance Review on
34 this evening's meeting agenda and came to monitor the water management situation. He stated
35 that while he understands the importance of maintaining the integrity of parklands,this issue is
36 very important to residents as many backyards are involved. Chair Bergstrom thanked Mr.
37 Miller for his interest and attendance.
38 DL ADJOURNMENT.

20 VII. REPORTS.
21 A. Discuss EmergencyOperations Plan with Fire Chief Johnson.
22 Fire Chief Johnson presented the Emergency Operations Plan for the City of St: Anthony and
23 advised it is driven by Federal law and is a rare mandate in that it comes with a "carrot" of.
24 $4,000 to $4,500 in funding. He advised that this Plan was evaluated this Spring and the City
25 received a clean bill of health. In fact,the St. Anthony Plan is used as a model for others. Fire
26 Chief Johnson noted the map indicating siren coverage for the City and that the Salvation Army
27 Camp is not covered by the St. Anthony sirens. However, sirens from New Brighton and
28 Columbia Heights do cover that area so the Camp receives warning from those two sirens. He
29 advised the sirens are radio operated and contain a battery backup.
30 Fire Chief Johnson noted the map of the City Community Center and roles of the various rooms
31 should an emergency occur. He noted the sample memo form and advised that the Fire Station
32 has a supply of them for use to communicate during an emergency. Fire Chief Johnson
33 continued review of the Plan by noting the listing of telephone numbers for various media
34 groups, information on SOPS, fire protection,radio frequencies,mutual aid agreements, damage
35 assessment,reference to the American Red Cross involvement,debris clearance,utilities
36 restoration,radiological protection,hazardous materials protection, communications, internal
37 radio capability, series of checklists, and community service integration.
38 Mayor Ranallo asked if this Plan is similar to that used during the tornado. Fire Chief Johnson
39 stated it is with refinements.

1 Marks commented on the tremendous response from emergency vehicles and staff, some without
2 being called for help. Fire Chief Johnson stated this is correct and advised that about 100 police
3 officers volunteered to help when the tornado hit. He explained that this Plan will identify how
4 those resources can be best utilized when they arrive.
5 Cavanaugh inquired regarding the communication capabilities. Fire Chief Johnson advised they
6 will move to an 800 megahertz system which allows a broader communication range.
7 Cavanaugh asked if the mobile home park has an emergency plan. Fire Chief Johnson stated
8 they do and are under the jurisdiction of the State Department of Health.
9 Cavanaugh asked if the Williams Pipe Line property is included in an emergency plan. Fire
10 Chief Johnson noted that property is located within Roseville and their plan should address that
11 site.
12 Cavanaugh raised issues with regard to the safety and security of the City's water supply. Fire
13 Chief Johnson explained that tampering with the City's water supply would require a forced
14 entry:Cavanaugh suggested a test of the security system be completed.
15 Cavanaugh commented that it may be beneficial for'the Councilmembers to have a copy of this
16 Plan at their homes, should an emergency occur.
17 Faust commented on the need for a controlled communications center to assure procedures are
18 followed.
19 Cavanaugh concurred and suggested that a smaller informational packet be prepared which
20 Councilmembers could use should a resident need assistance with a smaller emergency, such as a
21 power outage. Fire Chief Johnson stated he could prepare such a packet of information.
22 B. Councilmembers.
23 Cavanaugh extended his appreciation to Tom Shamp and Denise Dolan for their work on
24 VillageFest, which was a huge success. He stated there was an outstanding team of volunteers
25 with great leadership. He also thanked the Fire Chief and Public.Works crew who helped with
26 set up and take down. Cavanaugh stated there was also a great golf event,parade, and fireworks
27 display.
28 It was also reported that a Generational Day will be scheduled where five generations will meet
29 for discussion of today's issues.
30 Marks announced a Sister City meeting is scheduled for this week. He reported on a Teacher
31 Exchange Program where a teacher will go to Finland and the anticipation there will be a
32 program later this fall highlighting that program. Marks advised they have also received a
33 request for an exchange with respect to the Boy Scouts Program which they will be checking out.

1 Faust stated he echos Cavanaugh's accolades about what the volunteers did for VillageFest and
2 stated that he enjoyed the silent auction. He stated he is heartened by the community survey
3 which indicates a lot of the.things being done are-validated by the community. He noted this
4 survey will be published in the next Bulletin. Faust extended his appreciation to.the VillageFest
5 volunteers.
6 C. May
7 Mayor Ranallo stated he will be sending a letter to thank the VillageFest volunteers. He stated
8 he was surprised about the high amount of bottled water which was sold during this event, to old
9 and young alike. Mayor Ranallo commented there will be a party held for volunteers.
10 Mayor Ranallo reported that the Cable Commission has been in existence for 20 years and it was
11 decided to review their mission and structure. He explained that cable companies are changing
12 tremendously and a lot of money is being made in that business. Mayor Ranallo stated he has
13 agreed to chair a ten-person task force (one from each city)to review that structure. He advised
14 that Roseville hired an attorney to review the Cable Commission activities and a favorable report
15 was received.
16 Mayor.Ranallo advised that he and the City Manager met with Lt. Colonel David Grindle and
17 Alan Stokes to discuss what will be happening with the Salvation Army. They have 77 to 119
18 acres and have outgrown that location. He advised they have looked at several options including
19 constructing a headquarters for this region, a church, and a pool, but it is almost impossible to do
20 so without having to tear down some of the existing buildings. They now have a task force
21 committee that will be researching the feasibility of keeping the Camp as it is or if they should
22 sell it and find a new location farther out where they can purchase 400+acres of land. Mayor
23 Ranallo stated they have had Realtors and Ramsey County evaluating the Camp in terms of value
24 and if they do sell, will sell to the highest bidder with the funds used to rebuild the new camp.
25 Mayor Ranallo stated this was a good meeting and the Salvation Army staff thanked the.City for
26 all they have done. If this property were to be used for residential, it would need to be rezoned.
27 Cavanaugh asked how the City should start to prepare themselves to look at options for the City
28 to purchase this land, or to do so collectively with Ramsey County. Mayor Ranallo stated it
29 would be premature to start that process now since it is not known if the property will be for sale.
30 However,the City will be the first to be notified.
31 D. City Manager.
32 Mornson reported that he has been in contact with the Metropolitan Council about the possible
33 revision to the City's sump pump inspection program to see if they will allow the continued use
34 of their loan money ($40,000) for that program. Mornson stated he and others will meet with
35 Metropolitan Council staff tomorrow and he will report back at the next meeting.
36 Mornson advised that the DNR"mock" check will be presented to the Mayor and Council on
37 August 25th. He stated the task force has been invited to attend.

1 Mornson reported that letters, as revised by City Attorney Soth,have been sent to the two
2 remaining property owners of the home buyout program.
3 Mornson noted the Harding neighborhood informational meeting is scheduled for tomorrow
4 night. He updated the Council with regard to the feasibility report for Silver Point Park and
5 estimate of fill that would need to be removed from the Park. Mornson advised of the concern to
6 find an appropriate location to place the fill since this would save a significant amount of money.
7 Staff is suggesting the fill be bid out as an alternate. Mornson stated this issue will be discussed
8 in more detail in September.

10 Mornson advised that a petition was filed today by group of property owners from Harding Street
11 as follows: "We the undersigned,pursuant to Minnesota Rules Part 4410.110, do hereby
12 petition requesting the preparation of an environmental assessment worksheet(EA 99 in the
13 matter of the implementation of the Comprehensive Water Management Plan (the Project)
V 14 proposed by the City of St. Anthony Village. The Project includes the implementation of flood
15 mitigation measures with a budget of approximately$6,000,000 and includes financial
16 participation by the Federal Emergency Management Agency(FEMA), Hennepin County Block
17 Grant funds, and the State of Minnesota. Potential adverse environmental effects include
18 alteration of natural drainage patterns, loss of wildlife, loss of irreplaceable mature trees and
19 significant stands of vegetation;destruction of natural and manmade resources, and substantial
20 social and economic impacts in areas of the proposed construction."
21 Mornson advised that it is the opinion of the City Engineer and City Attorney that the process is
22 as follows: An Environmental Quality Board(staff member) determines if this is a valid petition
23 within three to five days. If the petition is not valid it is submitted back to people. If the petition
24 is valid the EQB submits it to the responsible governmental unit(typically the city of the
25 project). However, this petition is asking that the City not be the responsible government unit
26 since the City is doing the project. If so,the City has a certain number of days to get legal and
27 engineering opinions and adopt a resolution'saying the EAW is not necessary. There is then an
28 appeal period to declare an EAW is needed or necessary. If that occurs, all work freezes until the
29 EAW is completed. Mornson advised that he asked the City Attorney if the projects should be
30 stopped and the City Attorney said that as long as the City has not approved any construction, or
31 issued construction bids or grading permits,they can still do research,background and feasibility .
32 studies, and hold the Harding neighborhood informational meeting. However,that is up to the
33 Council to determine.
34 Brent Gunsbury, 2701 30th Avenue NE, stated he is looking forward to the Council instituting
35 alternates that do not involve the Silver Lake holding pond. He stated he is curious to see the
36 plans for the area and looks forward to seeing all of the Councilmembers in attendance at the
37 informational meeting.

1 Cavanaugh clarified there is no plan for adoption at the meeting tomorrow but it may be the
2 beginning for discussions about the plan. He stated there has not been.a lot of fact finding or
3 discussion held yet so he had the impression the meeting would be followed by another meeting.
4 Mornson.concurred it will be the first meeting of a series of meetings.
5 Mayor Ranallo explained that members of the task force will be in attendance but it is not a
6 Council meeting. He stated the Council wants to first see what the task force has put together
7 and then the Council will review it.
8 Don Burr,2417 30th Avenue NE, stated he has observed that as the City is constructing new
9 streets and tearing up old asphalt, for entire City blocks, no additional storm sewers are being put
10 in. He stated he understands they are downhill grade and the strategy is to allow water to drain
11 downgrade to the low point where there is a means for water to exit to the storm water system.
12 Mr. Burr stated that he has also observed that the City of Minneapolis, on virtually every city
13 block, has a means for water to enter into the storm water system. He suggested that allowing
14 water to travel for more than one block allows a larger accumulation of water than can be
15 accommodated by the grate going into the storm water system, especially if that grate is blocked
16 by leaves or twigs. He stated he is frustrated by the fact that the City is spending a lot of money
17 to upgrade the roads but not upgrading the storm sewer system, especially since there are so
18 many problems in the lower part of the City, 33rd Avenue and southward. Mr. Burr suggested
19 that during future planning of road upgrades, the City seriously consider the addition of storm
20 water systems, as is being done by the City of Minneapolis.
21 Jim Kozarek, 4029 Shamrock Drive, spoke in favor of the efforts of the task force and City to
22 alleviate flooding. He advised that after the July storm,his house had 6.5 feet of water in the
23 finished basement,within 18 inches of reaching first floor. He stated that since then they have
24 spent thousands of dollars (no insurance coverage)to correct that damage. Mr. Kozarek stated he
25 is amazed that some think there is no flooding problem,and if it floods it is the resident's
26 problem and they should have known better. He maintained the City's,storm water system is not
27 adequate but the City has taken a proactive stance to hire a consultant, obtain grant funds, and
28 study the issues. Mr.Kozarek stated St. Anthony Village is a mature community with little open
29. space and a correction may result in a sacrifice. He asked that 1/5 of the time spent fighting be
30 used, instead,to work with the City's engineering consultant,the task force, and the City to find
31 a solution to stem the problem. He stated the litigation is blocking attempts to solve the
32 problems, and these problems will not go away.
33 Jane Hintz, 3503 Maplewood Drive, stated she serves on the task force and just learned about the
34 petition which may stop all of the work they have been doing for the past year. She stated she
35 understands this concern but to halt the entire project because of one area bothers her
36 tremendously. Ms. Hintz stated that the activity of the task force has been well published. She
37 stated her property was not damaged by flooding but she wanted to become involved. She stated
38 she supports hiring other engineers but not halting the project which should move forward.

1 Due to the receipt of the petition, Cavanaugh asked if the Council has determined to proceed
2 with the process. Mayor Ranallo stated the process can proceed up to the point where
3. construction is ordered. He suggested the meeting tomorrow night be held, as scheduled.
4 Cavanaugh stated it is his understanding that an EAW is part of the process and would not stop
5 the process. He reviewed the language of the petition with regard to impacts of the project which
6 would be evaluated. He stated the City may have to modify the plan or come under some
7 constraints but that would not stop the project. Cavanaugh stated this is a good State law
8 designed to protect the City and good government from an environmental perspective but it will
9 not stop the project. Also,new solutions may result from this problem but solving the storm
10 drainage problems will still occur. Cavanaugh clarified this is just another step in the process
11 and a routine process established in the State of Minnesota. He commented on the need for good
12 legal counsel on the EAW process.
13 Mayor Ranallo noted that with the Apache petition, an EAW was not needed.
14 Marks stated there are two reasons to rebuild the streets; change the surface of the street and
15 address cracking, and address the utility infrastructure contained under the streets. If the
16 engineer has declared the infrastructure is adequate, no changes would be made.
17 Marks noted that in 1971 the City of Minneapolis offered St. Anthony the opportunity to join in
18 expanding the storm sewer system and St. Anthony elected not to join so Minneapolis has a
19 larger system.
20 Mr. Burr stated maybe that would be a possibility today since the system today is not adequate
21 and in looking at examples of other cities,he believes this should be evaluated before proceeding
22 with new street projects in 1999. He stated he would also like larger pipes installed when the
23 streets are reconstructed which would be the best time financially to do so.
24 Morrison reported that a meeting will be held with the PCA regarding reimbursement of costs for
25 clean up.
26 Mornson advised the survey is available at the library and City Hall..
27 Mornson updated the Council on the 1998 Street Project which has reached closure, noting the
28 nice letters received from residents. He advised that 33rd Avenue will be done in two weeks and
29 the water tower work and new logo should be completed by Labor Day. Also,work will start on
30 the St. Anthony Boulevard and Kenzie Terrace sidewalk project.
31 Mornson provided a recap of the budget workshop from last week where the Council viewed the
32 draft budget. The next decision will be at the September 8 Council meeting where a resolution
33 will be considered on the 1999 tax levy. Mornson reviewed the future meeting schedule and
34 decisions that will be made at each step in the process.

9 VII. REPORTS.
10 A. Presentation of Check to the City by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources
11 relating to flood mitigation.
12 Mayor Ranallo welcomed Ken Lockesmoe, Director of the DNB's Flood Damage Reduction
13 Program, as well as State Representative Mary Jo McGuire and Hennepin County
14 Commissioner Mark Stenglein. He thanked them all for attending and for their roles in
15 assisting the City in receiving flood relief funds. Mayor Ranallo stated Senator John Marty
16 and Ramsey County Commissioner Jan Weissner were unable to attend.
17 Mr. Lockesmoe attended the Council meeting to present the City of St. Anthony with a check
18 for $1 million. He stated since recent flooding in the Red River Valley in 1997 and local
19 flooding in July 1998, there has been increased interest in flood mitigation among legislators.
20 The Flood Damage Reduction Program was implemented 10 years ago, but these recent events
21 have given it impetus.
22 Mr. Lockesmoe confirmed the State is providing $2 million in funding for flood relief. This is
23 accomplished with the understanding further efforts are necessary and will hopefully be
24 implemented in the next legislative session. He commended all parties involved for working
25 together successfully.
26 The check for $1 million,.presented by Mr. Lockesmoe.to Mayor Ranallo, represents half the
27 amount which the City will receive.
28 Mayor Ranallo expressed gratitude and appreciation for all Mr. Lockesmoe has done in
29 collaboration with Representative McGuire, Commissioner Stenglein and Senator Marty. He
30 stated the Council is aware the City must match the funds. He added there is a group which
31 does not support these efforts, but he hopes all parties will work together toward the common
32 goal of flood relief. He stated despite numerous problems locally related to flood damage, the
33 City has been fortunate not to sustain any loss of life.
34 Mayor Ranallo stated Commissioner Stenglein, who grew up in the affected neighborhood, is
35 familiar with the flooding problems there. Mayor Ranallo added he hopes the water flow

August 25, 1998

1 problems will be solved without any disruption to residents. He welcomed Representative
2 Mary Jo-McGuire.and Commissioner Stenglein,to the address the Council.-
-3 Ms. McGuire commended the City Council for their diligence at the State Capitol in bringing
4 St. Anthony's flooding issues to the forefront. She stated each Councilmember worked closely
5 with her in communicating the importance of these issues to the legislature. She added the
6 financial support offered today would not have been possible without the efforts of the City
7 Council. She also thanked the DNR for their support.
8 Ms. McGuire stated she has been approached by numerous citizens voicing their concerns with
9 respect to flood relief efforts. She hopes through cooperation with the City Council, the issues
10 will be resolved.
11 Commissioner Stenglein applauded the efforts of the City Council and the DNR and thanked
12 Ms. McGuire for her hard work. He stated this type of community action is necessary and
13 effective, and added he is proud to represent the community of St. Anthony. He stated the
14 County is committed to supporting the City's flood relief efforts.
15 Mayor Ranallo thanked all parties involved for their efforts in obtaining the relief funds.
16 B. Planning Commission - August 18, 1998.
17 Mayor Ranallo welcomed Planning Commission Chair Bergstrom, who presented the minutes
18 from the August 18, 1998 Planning Commission meeting. He stated a few commentary items
19 related to the public hearing were omitted but will be included in the amended minutes. He
20 stated other than those few omissions, the general essence of the meeting was captured.
21 1. Jensen; for 2908 Roosevelt Street; garage setback request.
22 Commissioner Bergstrom reported a public hearing was held at the August 18, 1998
23 meeting for Robert and Doreen Jensen, owners of 2908 Roosevelt Street NE. Mr. and
24 Mrs. Jensen have submitted a request for a Garage Setback Permit in order to construct
25 a detached double car garage. There is currently a single car garage attached to the
26 residence. The Jensen are proposing to remodel the house and construct the detached
27 garage set back from the primary structure 23 feet so they can store other miscellaneous
28 vehicles and equipment.
29 According to the drawing submitted by Mr. Jensen, the proposed garage will be
30 constructed in the sideyard setback located on the north side of the property, leaving
31 three feet to the property line. Front and rear setbacks will be maintained according to
32 the requirements of the City's Zoning Ordinance. Staff advised Mr. Jensen to talk with
33 his neighbors about his proposed garage construction.
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
August 25, 1998
Page 5
1 Mr. Jensen will also need a variance as part of this garage setback permit request
2 because the proposed garage is 24 feet by 30-feet and is 720 square feet. Section
3 1650.02, Subd. 6 of the City's Ordinance states the garage will cover an area of no
4 more than 528 square feet and will not have a dimension greater than 24 feet located
5either on thee-sideyard or rear yard. Mr. Jensen is proposing to build the garage larger
6 than allowed by Ordinance so he can store recreational vehicles and other equipment.
7 The lot coverage of the proposed project is 34.9%, including the driveway and
8 sidewalk and is within the City's 35% lot coverage restriction. Staff has received no
9 calls or other communication stating opposition to the Jensen's proposal.
10 Commissioner Bergstrom stated the City Attorney had advised the Planning
11 Commission the size variance request could be handled in the setback permit. He
12 stated the size of the proposed garage is larger than what is allowable as specified in the
13 Ordinance for the garage setback permit and as a matter of course it was discussed
14 whether the size of the garage would require a variance.
15 He added it was the consensus of the Planning Commission since no opposition to the
16 project from Mr. Jensen's neighbors had been recorded by City Staff, to recommend
17 the City Council approve the setback permit as well as the increase in total size of
18 structure.
19 Commissioner Bergstrom stated it would be necessary for Mr. Jensen to locate the
20 property iron on the north side of his property. If he is unable to do so, a survey would
21 be required.
22 Cavanaugh requested clarification regarding the number of variances being requested.
23 Commissioner Bergstrom confirmed there are 2 variances involved. He reiterated the
24 City Attorney indicated since the variance request is attached to a garage setback permit
25 request, the variance can be included in the permit request.
26 Cavanaugh questioned whether the variance request and setback permit should be
27 separate since the two issues involved are so different. He asked if other requests for
28 variance of this size have been received by the City.
29 Commissioner Bergstrom stated no requests have been received since the Ordinance,
30 was put into place. He added Planning Commissioner Gondorchin was on the
31 Commission at the time the Ordinance was enacted, and the lot coverages were 30% at
32 time. Lot coverage has increased to 35% since then. He stated it might be necessary to
33 determine whether the 520 square foot garage requirement is still accurate.

1 Cavanaugh stated this request for additional space should.not be considered a hardship
2 since most residents probably do not have adequate storage.space. He expressed
3 concern over constructing a structure of this size in a residential area. He
4 recommended the issue be tabled and returned to the Planning Commission for further
5 discussion.
6 Robert Jensen addressed the Council, stating the proposed garage will be a standard 3-
7 car garage in both width and height. He requires the extra space to store his
8 recreational vehicles and the standard garage is not deep enough. He stated he wishes
9 to comply with City ordinances regarding on-street overnight parking to keep his
10 residence uncluttered. He added the garage will have the same aesthetic profile as the
11 house.
12 Mr. Jensen stated the additional space, including a family room and kitchen extension,
13 would greatly benefit his family of 6.
14 Faust asked whether the existing home is a rambler as the drawing submitted by Mr.
15 Jensen depicts an L-shaped home.
16 Mr. Jensen stated the drawing is of the home, after renovations have been completed.
17 Thuesen asked whether Mr. Jensen has discussed the size of the garage with his
18 neighbors. Mr. Jensen stated his neighbors were in full support of his plans. He added
19 some of his neighbors had attended the first Planning Commission meeting at which the
20 Jensen's proposed garage was discussed to show their support of Jensen's plans.
21 Thuesen stated the Council could possibly be setting a precedence for the size of
22 residential structures. He added he is not opposed to the project, but would like to keep
23 the subject open for discussion.
24 Marks stated he is specifically concerned about the variance request, irrespective of the
25 City.Attorney's recommendation. He questioned whether the Planning Commission
26 had used variance requirements for granting the variance and whether any discussion
27 ensued. Bergstrom confirmed the Commissioners had considered the variance
28 requirements, but no discussion was undertaken after the City Attorney's opinion was
29 obtained.
30 Marks questioned whether the Council could determine a hardship if in fact a variance
31 request was involved.
32 Cavanaugh stated he is uncomfortable with allowing the increased garage size in a
33 residential area, which is over the current average garage size. He added it would be

August 25, 1998

1 best to limit garage size to what is needed for modest consumption and.off-site storage
2 is always available..
3 Commissioner Bergstrom stated the Planning Commission is regarding this request as
4 an example of new standards for residential construction.
5 Cavanaugh noted there are imbedded constraints in 75 foot residential lots.
6 Commissioner Bergstrom stated the Planning Commission wishes to encourage
7 residents to upgrade and expand their current homes rather than leave the community in
8 search of new housing.
9 Marks questioned whether the City Attorney's opinion had been received in writing.
10 Commissioner Bergstrom stated the opinion had been received verbally by the
11 Commission.
12 Faust stated the issue is not as onerous as the Council's discussion might indicate. He
:13 stated typically in new construction a 3-car garage is standard.. The Jensen's proposed
14 structure includes a hip roof with 8-foot sidewalls, and as such it will not bean
15 obtrusive structure. The project represents an upgrade on the Jensen's current
16 residence, the request meets lot coverage, and the hardship meets City-approved
17 standards at 528 square feet.
18 Thuesen stated as the structure is 24 feet wide and 30 feet deep, its appearance from the
19 street would be favorable. He asked Mr. Jensen what he intended to store in the
20 proposed garage.
21 Mr. Jensen stated he owns a boat and trailer but not a recreational vehicle.
22 Faust stated the contents of Mr. Jensen's proposed garage are immaterial to the issue.
23 Thuesen stated it is necessary for the City to monitor the storage location of
24 recreational vehicles on personal property.
25 Marks stated his concern is whether this is a permit process or a variance process. He
26 agreed the construction of a larger garage will enable the community to remain current.
27 Mayor Ranallo stated new construction today typically includes 3 or 4 car garages. He
28 added 5 years ago, there was an initiative by the City to encourage residents not to park
29 their vehicles at the front of the house or on the street. Mr. Jensen is attempting to
30 comply with the interests of the City.

3 Roosevelt Street, based on the findings of the Planning Commission and be required to,
4 locate property irons and to include the Attorney's written report in the variance.
5 Motion carried unanimously.
6 Commissioner Bergstrom stated the Planning Commission is one member short and
7 would appreciate the appointment of a 7th Commissioner by the City Council as soon
8 as possible. He stated the Commission works best as a body at its full strength, even if
9 the 7th member is temporary.
10 Mayor Ranallo stated all planning education classes begin in the spring, so a 7th
11 Commissioner would be acting without planning education. He stated the Commission
12 had indicated George Wagner was interested in serving on the Commission.
13 Mr. Mornson stated the Council had decided to wait since 2 current Commissioners are
14 due for re-appointment. .The City was also focussing on appointing Parks
15 Commissioners.
16 Faust stated he had also heard George Wagner was interested in filling the position. He
17 added he was not opposed to an interim appointee if it prevents the lack of a quorum.
18 George Wagner, having served previously, would be an ideal candidate for an interim
19 position.
20 Cavanaugh stated there might be other interested candidates as well.
21 Thuesen asked whether any legal constraints might affect the decision to appoint an
22 interim Commissioner.
23 Mayor Ranallo stated..an appointee could be designated for 3 or 4 months until the end
24 of December.
25 It was agreed Mr. Mornson would contact George Wagner about possible appointment
26 to the Planning Commission.
27 Motion by Marks, second by Faust to.approve appointment of George Wagner to the
28 Planning Commission if he accepts the position.
29 Motion carried unanimously.

1 Mayor Ranallo stated the Parks Commission Chair, Carol Jindra, would present the
2 Commission's first report to the City Council. He welcomed Ms. Jindra, thanking her
3 for accepting the position of Chair of the Parks Commission.
4 Ms. Jindra stated the Parks Commission appreciates the opportunity to come before the
5 City Council each month to keep the Council appraised of Parks Commission
6 developments and activities. She stated the Parks Commission consists of 7 newly-
7 appointed members addressing the redevelopment of Silver Point Park, Central Park
8 and Emerald Park. The Commission will address all three parks in a timely manner;
9 however, they are currently focussed on addressing issues in Silver Point Park.
10 Ms. Jindra stated there are some crucial decisions to be made regarding flooding in
11 Silver Point Park with the assistance of Todd Hubmer and WSB. There are other
r 12 factors involved in the timetable, such as the 29th Avenue corrections next spring. She
13 added the Commission is concerned about making important decisions so quickly and
14 would like to defer decision if possible. She questioned whether the City Council would
15 move forward without a decision from the Parks Commission regarding Silver Point
16 Park, or if it.could be deferred for another month.
17 Ms. Jindra indicated one issue'is the loss of a ballfield; as the Council may be aware,
18 the Sports Boosters and other groups are concerned about the total number of available
19 fields. She added the Parks Commission is concerned about the timeliness of these
20 decisions. Ms. Jindra stated WSB would like to begin the project in October
21 and the Parks Commission is concerned about holding up the
22 process.
23 Mayor Ranallo asked Todd Hubmer, WSB, to address the Council. Mayor Ranallo
24 stated many residents have expressed concern over the reconstruction of Silver Point
25 Park. He asked if reconstruction could be delayed until Spring 1999 to obtain support
26 and agreement from all sides. He asked what WSB's timetable is for the necessary.
27 work to be done.
28 Todd Hubmer, WSB, explained the main reason for completing Silver Point Park this
29 fall is 29th Avenue is scheduled for improvements in Spring 1999. When those
30 improvements are completed, water will be redirected towards Silver Point Park, and
31 the park has to be equipped to deal with the excess water. If the upgrading of the park
32 can be done in the fall, and restoration of 29th Avenue completed in the spring, the
33 park will be able to withstand the waterflow.
34 Cavanaugh asked for the status of the Harding residents group's environmental
35 worksheet.
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
August 25, 1998
Page 10
1 Mr. Hubmer stated he had spoken with the Environmental Quality Board, and the
2 petition was dismissed at that level and their attorney has been notified of that fact.
3 Mayor Ranallo asked whether the completion of Silver Point Park and 29th Avenue
4 would affect the outcome of the construction of a holding pond on Harding and St.
5 Anthony Boulevard.
6 Mr. Hubmer stated Silver Point Park is only in the first phases of redevelopment.
7 Faust asked for a deadline from WSB so the Parks Commission can continue their
8 discussion without rushing to make a decision.
9 Mr. Hubmer stated the Parks Commission had requested 2 or 3 alternative layouts for
10 Silver Point Park depicting various amenities, ballfields, etc., for presentation at the
11 next Parks Commission meeting. After that, a public meeting would be held to get
12 feedback from residents before construction bids are received. WSB would require
13 approval from the City Council at their September 8, 1998 meeting to obtain bids from
14 contractors after getting preliminary input from the Parks Commission.
15 Ms. Jindra stated other factors still need to be considered, including the possibility of
16 adding 1 adult field which brings into question the issue of lighting.
17 Ms. Jindra stated she and the other Parks Commissioners are concerned WSB needs
18 decisions regarding excavation from the City this fall. She added the Parks
19 Commission, having met only once to date, is probably not ready to make such
20 decisions and remain responsible to the City and its residents.
21 Mr. Hubmer stated a bulkhead system could be installed on 29th Avenue to suspend its
22 function for a year. However, Silver Point Park would be unusable longer than if the
23 grading was done this fall.
24 Cavanaugh asked if only 80% of the park could be reconstructed so people could still
25 use it this fall. He stated part of the work could be done in the fall and it would then be
26 finished in the spring.
27 Mr. Hubmer stated this would cause problems regarding the construction bidding
28 process.
29 Marks questioned the holding capacity of Silver Point Park. Mr. Hubmer stated the
30 holding capacity-would be 22 acre feet.

1 Ms, Jindra stated the Parks Commission would.like to delay the decision until October
2. to give them a chance to meet two more tunes.
3 Peter Willenbring, WSB, stated a rough grade for Silver Point Park can go to the
4 bidding process. He stated the drawbacks against waiting until Spring 1999 to
5 reconstruct the park are numerous: there are no load limits in the fall; construction
6 won't commence until May or June in the spring; residential construction is more
7 feasible in the fall as windows are closed. He added the reconstruction can be
8 postponed if necessary.
9 Ms. Jindra reiterated there are a wide range of issues to be discussed and decisions to
10 be made, beyond those which are flood-related. She added the Parks Commission
11 wishes to provide an open forum for discussion to City residents and extend an
12 invitation to residents to attend meetings, hear discussion, and submit ideas and
13 information. Mayor Ranallo asked Mr. Mornson to assist with an article to be published
14 in the local paper regarding the Parks Commission.
15 Ms. Jindra stated in addition to the 3 parks in the City now, there is the potential of.
16 passive green space due to the City's purchase of homes damaged in the flooding. In
17 addition, the public works area may be utilized at some point. The Parks Commission
18 - is also looking into the possibility of a joint effort with the Salvation Army Camp to
19 open that space to the community for use.
20 Mayor Ranallo stated he and Mr. Mornson had met with the Director of the Salvation
21 Army who indicated the residents of St. Anthony were not utilizing the camp due to its
22 proximity and residents' desire to go spend vacation time away from home. Ms. Jindra
23 stated she was unaware the camp was open to the public.
24 Ms. Jindra continued the Parks Commission is considering a number of possible
25 projects, including a program with the golf course, winter activities, and the use of the
26 Unisys ballfields.
27 Mayor Ranallo thanked Ms. Jindra, and invited her and the Parks Commission to bring_
28 issues to the City Council as often as necessary.
29 D. Councilmembers.
30 Marks reported his attendance at a meeting of the Sister City .Committee, and noted the group
31 is progressing with respect to obtaining a 501-C3 IRS designation. He stated some of the
32 members of the Committee recently visited Salo, Finland, including David Braslov, and
33 returned with greetings from the city government of Salo to the City of St. Anthony.

1 Marks added there are groups from St. Anthony, including the Sports Boosters and the Boy
.2 -. - . Scouts, who have expressed interest in.traveling to Salo, Finland. He stated David Braslov has
3 started an initiative for an art exchange to take place between the two cities within the next few
4 years. He suggested the perfect place for such artwork would be the City Hall's front hallway.
5 Marks stated Salo has recently opened its own art museum, housed in a restored building
6 previously used for storage of locomotives.
7 Salo's Mayor Lindquist has expressed interest in continuing the relationship between the two
8 cities, but wishes to take additional steps toward creating commercial partnerships and
9 exchanges. Marks added when he visited Salo in 1991, such partnerships were discussed but
10 never realized; he suggested the Chamber of Commerce might contact the Salo trade
11 organization to exchange business which would be beneficial to both communities.
12 Marks stated the Sister City Committee will possibly be having an open house this fall and will
13 be looking for residents interested in participating as members of the Committee. Chris
14 Ravenal has agreed to speak at the event. Marks promised to keep the City Council informed
15 on all developments.regarding the Sister City Committee.
16 Marks added he will be absent from the next City Council meeting on September 8, 1998 as he
17 will be in Great Britain and France.
18 Cavanaugh stated the state government of Minnesota has recently enacted an economic
19 development program with Finland which might prove beneficial to the City's efforts with
20 Salo.
21 Cavanaugh reported on his attendance at a neighborhood meeting with Harding Avenue
22 residents, and came away impressed with WSB's handling of the questions which residents
23 posed. He added the overall impression was of an excellent meeting at which progress had
24 been made on a difficult question.
25 Thuesen reported the VillageFest was a great success and extended a personal thanks to all
26residents involved. The events were well planned and attendance was high, and all the
27 volunteers were dedicated to the success of the celebration. He added these volunteers
28 contribute to the quality of life in the Village, and thanked them again for their time and
29 efforts. Thuesen thanked Jay Hartman, Public Works Director, and his staff for the cleanup of
30 Central Park after VillageFest.
31 Thuesen reported he has recently had several conversations with City residents from the south
32 end who are concerned over flood mitigation plans, specifically home buyouts. They
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
August 25, 1998
Page 13
1 expressed concern over the lack of information reaching them, and have many questions about
2 the project as a whole.
3 Thuesen suggested a neighborhood meeting would be an excellent way of disseminating
4 information and obtaining the residents' opinion which will assist WSB and the City'in the
5 planning of this project. In addition, other important concerns can be dealt with before the
6 project timeline makes it impossible.
7 Faust reported he received a phone call from John Madden, a member of the Ramsey County
8 Library Board and a resident of St. Anthony. Mr. Madden reported the possible demolition of
9 the Arden Hills Library which will have a serious impact on residents in the City's north end.
10 Mr. Madden will be talking to Mary Ann Reuse, Executive Director of the Arden Hills
11 Library, and will report any necessary information back to the Council.
12 Faust reported on his attendance at a meeting of the League of Minnesota Cities, at which the
13 affect of electronic commerce and taxation on city commerce was discussed. The League is
14 recommending the Chamber of Commerce's consideration of that future problem as it pertains
15 to sales tax collections. The League will consider a policy for legislature on point of sale, and
16 Faust.will report back to the City Council on this issue.
' 17 Faust received another call regarding 33rd Avenue, and suggested a survey be completed of the
18 recipients of improvements to determine changes necessary in the process.
19 E. Mayor.
20 Mayor Ranallo reported on his attendance at the first task force meeting of the local cable
21 commission and area cities. The purpose of this group is to explore various changes and the
22 ensuing update of descriptive language used, since the face of cable is changing rapidly to
23 overall communications.
24 F. Ci1y Manager.
25 Mr. Mornson reported on.his meeting with School District Superintendent Warren Rolek and
26 Mayor Ranallo regarding the sale of the Salvation Army Camp. The School Board is
27 requesting a joint meeting at 6 P.M. on September 8, 1998 prior to the regular City,Council
28 meeting. He suggested the meeting might be a bit premature, but the School Board wishes to
29 begin conversations about the Camp immediately as the issue is generating much public
30 discussion.
31 Mr. Mornson stated he has also received 2 calls from the Ramsey County Parks Director
32 requesting a meeting on the same subject with Mayor Ranallo on September 21, 1998.
33 He added the City will be involved despite the outcome of the sale due to community zoning as
34 the camp is within City boundaries.

1 Mr. Mornson reported budget work sessions are tentatively set for December 9 and 16, 1998.
2 They will have to be changed to December 7 and 16, 1998.
3 Mr. Mornson reported he met with Chuck Janske, WSB, and the Metropolitan Council to
4 redefine the Sump Pump Inspection Program. The Metropolitan Council may allow the City to
5 utilize funds to make improvements to the existing sewer system, and Mr. Janske is working
6 on a proposal for presentation to the Metropolitan Council some time in December.

4-
8 5 weeks from now. He added the residents have been asked to set up a subcommittee to meet

11 WSB is compiling a Q&A which will require.the assistance of City staff.
12 Mornson reported that he had no pending issues for the September Work Session. However,
13 Councilmember Cavanaugh has some concerns he would like addressed.
14 Cavanaugh requested some discussion on the focus of the Planning Commission as it relates to
15 comprehensive planning, especially in light of the upcoming Commission openings. He also
16 expressed concern over issues surrounding next year's budget. These concerns could be
17 addressed in early 1999.
18 Cavanaugh stated the flooding solution may be related to Harding Street and it is necessary for
19 the Council to focus on the specifications of that plan. He added a number of areas of the
20 City, including Central Park and St. Charles' parking lots as well as the holding pond in front
21 of City Hall, suffered after last week's heavy rain and may not be working properly.
22 Cavanaugh requested clarification on the City's street and alley lighting guidelines. He has

1 Thuesen stated due to the growing number of meetings regarding this project, residents need a
2 specific forum to ask questions and,receive information.
3 Mr. Mornson stated it would be unwise to hold a public hearing until the home buyout
4 program is complete. Currently, only 2 homes have been purchased and the City is at a
5 stalemate on the 3 remaining homes. He will put this issue on the September 8`h meeting
6 agenda.

City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
August 25, 1998
Page 16
1 Mr. Hubmer made the following points regarding the work of task force formation and
2 petitioning the Rice Creek Watershed:Distriet for improvements at Silver Lake:
3 1. Homeowners are interested in reviewing the diagnostic feasibility report for Silver
4 Lake;
5 2. It is necessary for the City to develop an implementation plan for water quality
6 improvement, not to be contingent upon water management; and
7 3. The City must authorize permission for use of Silver Lake water.
8 Mr. Hubmer stated the Silver Lake Homeowner's Association has agreed to contribute to the
9 undertaking of the feasibility study commencing Spring 1999. He added the Council had
10 received a lengthy description of the feasibility study for Silver Lake, including the monitoring
11 of outfalls throughout 1999, as well as in-lake sampling with residents.
12 Mr. Hubmer added a Water Quality Task Force project team will be formed for the feasibility
13 study consisting of residents from St. Anthony and Columbia Heights, City representatives,
14 and representatives from the Rice Creek Watershed District and Ramsey County. Mr. Hubmer
15 stated this will be an excellent forum for the development of policies as all parties involved
16 have something to contribute to the process. This Task Force will be an excellent opportunity
17 for the residents of St. Anthony to aid in the protection of the quality of water in Silver Lake.
18 Mr. Hubmer called the Council's attention to Section 7 of the Plan, which includes a list of
19 items requiring action by the City as well as anticipated capital improvements. He added a
20 number of federal and state grants are available for water quality programs. The primary
21 component of such grants is specific projects be identified in a comprehensive water resource
22 management program; therefore, the City's Plan is a step toward obtaining grant funding in the
23 future.
24 Mr. Hubmer reviewed in detail his recommendations for the adoption of the City of St.
25 Anthony Water Resource Management Plan as detailed in his August 18, 1998 letter to the
26 City staff. He introduced Doug Jones, 2505 Silver Lane, a representative of the Silver Lake
27 Homeowner's Association.
28 Mr. Jones thanked the Council for the opportunity to present the Association's position on the
29 Comprehensive Water Management Plan. He stated the Association met with Todd Hubmer to
30 discuss issues which they felt the Plan did not address.
31 Mr. Jones stated the Association is concerned the City has no ordinance which requires sites
32 over 2-1/2 acres to address their water run-off. He expressed the Association's desire to
33 prevent businesses such as Exhaust Pro from doing nothing to prevent water run-off. He
34 added as a responsible community, residents need to be aware of storm water problems and
35 take measures to prevent overflows and contamination from occurring.

1 Mr. Jones stated he has spoken with Bill-Carr and Hank Ford regarding the Salvation Army
2 Camp sale, and.the Association is encouraged by the possibility of utilizing the camp. He_
3 added many camp users are leery of using the lake because it becomes more and more dirty as
4 the summer progresses.
5 Mr. Jones thanked the Council for their time and the opportunity to speak, and stated he hopes
6 the Council will adopt the Plan and move forward with improvements affecting the City's
7 water.
8 Mayor Ranallo suggested the Storm Water Task Force deal with Silver Lake's current issues.
9 Marks stated the Plan recommends including stakeholders from other organizations such as
10 Ramsey County, and such a forum would become too unmanageable.
11 Motion by Marks, second by Faust to approve adoption of the City of St. Anthony
12 Comprehensive Water Resource Management Plan.
13 Cavanaugh stated he prefers the concept of a city-wide water task force dealing with city-wide
.14 water issues. He added as it currently stands, the task force would seem to be related only to
15 Silver Lake water issues.
16 Mr. Mornson agreed the task force should take all water issues into consideration.
17 Mr. Jones stated the Association feels certain issues are specific to the treatment of lake water.
18 Motion carried unanimously.
19 XI. ADJOURNMENT.
