AMENDMENT TO THE SIGN ORDINANCE—TEMPORARY OUTFIELD SIGNS Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes April 21, 2009 Page 2 1 2 Chair Stromgren opened the public hearing at 7:03 p.m. 3 4 Assistant City Manager Moore-Sykes discussed the history of the proposed amendment to the 5 sign ordinance to allow temporary outfield signs. She stated Mr. Stephen Peterson, representative 6 from the St. Anthony Baseball Association, contacted staff about requesting variances to the 7 City's sign ordinance in order to be allowed to post temporary advertising signs on the outfield 8 fences in Palm Field at Central Park. Staff presented the Association's request to the Planning 9 Commission at a Concept Review during the March 17, 2009 Planning Commission meeting. 10 The determination of the Planning Commission was that it was more appropriate to request an 11 amendment to the City's sign ordinance to allow for the posting of signs on fences. The Planning 12 Commission Chair indicated that as part of the variance process, the applicant is required to 13 show a unique hardship that is particular to the site and not the owner's doing. The Planning 14 Commission agreed that the Baseball Association and the School District would not be able to 15 prove such a hardship. 16 17 Assistant City Manager Moore-Sykes reviewed the text amendment requested by the 18 Superintendent of Schools to Title XV, Section 155, Signs. She advised that the proposed text 19 amendment proposes to: 1) limit the size of the sign; 2) the signs are to be temporary in nature 20 for seasonal removal; 3) signs will not be permitted to be animated or flashing; 4) the signs 21 cannot be closer than 250 feet to any residential district; and 5) they must face inward toward the 22 playing field. Other conditions may be added as the result of the City's approval process. In 23 addition, the proposed amendment would require the applicant to apply for a conditional use 24 permit. Assistant City Manager Moore-Sykes stated staff received some calls asking for more 25 information about the proposed amendment with one opposing this text amendment. 26 27 Mr. Eric Brever, Foster&Brever,PLLC, representing St. Anthony Baseball Association 28 (SABA), addressed the Planning Commission and stated they are present tonight in response to 29 the Concept Review last month for consideration of placing signs on the outfield wall at Palm 30 Field. They have worked with Assistant City Manager Moore-Sykes to put together an ordinance 31 amendment that would give room for potential flexibility if they were to want to expand the 32 scope to a football stadium as well. The primary goal of SABA is to look at Palm Field. As part 33 of the process a conditional use permit would need to be obtained from the City. 34 35 Commissioner Jensen indicated he would prefer that the text amendment apply to both football 36 and baseball fields. He questioned if there has been a measurement of the actual dimensions to 37 verify that the distance from the left field fence to the properties to the east is 250 feet. Mr. 38 Brever stated they have talked with the group currently working on renovations at the high 39 school about conducting measurements of the distance from the football field to the fence line; 40 this could be part of that as well. 41 42 Commissioner Jensen stated he recommends that the dimensions be verified prior to moving 43 forward with the requested text amendment. Assistant City Manager Moore-Sykes stated the 44 distance from the baseball field has been measured and is within the guideline; however, there is 45 not a measurement for the football field. 46 J Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes April 21, 2009 Page 3 1 Commissioner Jensen noted the previous Commission meeting included a discussion about the 2 signs being of a temporary nature, and that the requested text amendment states that the signs 3 must be of a temporary nature to facilitate seasonal removal. He inquired about including an 4 additional description in the conditions to propose the duration for the signs to be taken down. 5 Mr. Brever replied that it has been suggested that the signs be of a non-permanent nature. The 6 conditional use permit would be specific on the dates. 7 8 Chair Stromgren noted as proposed the text amendment would require a conditional use permit, 9 so there would be a specific application for the sign installation being proposed that would come 10 before the Planning Commission and the City Council. 11 12 Commissioner Heinis noted there is a discrepancy in the ordinance amendment proposed by the 13 school district limiting the size of individual signs to be no larger than 60 square feet, while the 14 draft amendment included in the Commission's packet states a limit of 24 square feet. Mr. 15 Brever indicated that SABA would prefer the larger limit with the conditional use permit 16 narrowing down specific sign requests to the appropriate size. 17 18 Commissioner Jensen noted that a 60 square foot sign limitation would allow vinyl banner type 19 of signage. 20 21 Mr. Ron Hanson addressed the Planning Commission and stated he has been a resident of St. 22 Anthony Village for 40 years. He is not against baseball or sports. He is the past sports booster 23 president and served on the Planning Commission for nine years. He is a member of the 24 American Legion Executive Board,which has donated tens of thousands of dollars to the school 25 district. He stated he is in favor of sports and youth activities. What he is opposed to is 26 commercialization of the City's parks. They have a unique situation in St. Anthony in that the 27 school district abuts the largest park in St. Anthony. 28 29 Mr. Hanson stated the following concerns regarding the requested sign ordinance amendment: 30 Every sign that would be posted on the field would be visible from every resident that 31 attends this park unless they are standing behind the pavilion. 32 Over the past two to three years they created a brand new sign ordinance for the City and 33 were very careful to make sure that the people in the City were not overrun by improper 34 signage. 35 ° Big box signage at the park. There is enough commercialization in the City as it is; it 36 does not belong in the park,which is the last place there should be signs. 37 o The school district should be embarrassed to bring this before the City after the recent 38 referendum that was passed. 39 C Allowing those that pay to have a sign posted that does not adhere to the ordinance. 40 ° The total fence area is 6,853 square feet. This would fit 114 signs under the 60 square 41 foot limit. If they were to eliminate all the other fences other than the outfield fence they 42 will be down to 4,200 square feet,which would allow 70 of these signs. The 24 square 43 foot limit would still allow 16 to 18 signs. 44 45 Mr. Hanson stated he is asking that the Planning Commission vote no on this sign amendment. 46 C Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes April 21, 2009 Page 4 1 Mr. Brever stated they greatly respect Mr. Hanson's comments, which are testament that this is a 2 very sensitive issue. The proposed ordinance addresses this by requiring the conditional use 3 permit process that allows for specific concerns to be brought up to ensure that there is not a 4 problem with visual pollution. The purpose for the signage on the baseball field is to improve the 5 field. The ivy will grow and obscure the signs from outside the field unless someone is facing 6 home plate and trees will further obscure the signage. They are trying to limit the sign view just 7 to the home plate area. The school district, and sports programs in general, are being cut because 8 of budget realities across the state. This is an unprecedented item for school districts having to 9 face this. He stated the Brainerd school district asked the community to endow their athletic 10 program. The business community in Brainerd could afford that, but that is not likely to happen 11 here. So they need to turn to creative ways to support their athletic program. The conditional use 12 permit process will ensure that whatever manner they choose to go through with any signs is 13 respectful of the concerns of Mr. Hanson and others. 14 15 Mr. Urdahl, St. Anthony High School Athletics Director, stated the goals of SABA are in 16 alignment with the Park Board to have the best facility and the best park possible. That is what 17 these dollars would do. They would like to plant trees and more ivy to beatify Central Park. In a 18 roundabout way Mr. Hanson and SABA have similar goals; they want the best park possible and 19 these dollars will be used to make this a better park and better place. 20 21 Commissioner Chaput inquired if SABA has explored other fundraising avenues. Mr. Urdahl 22 provided information on past fundraising events conducted by SABA. 23 24 Commissioner Cincoski asked if there is an estimated annual potential revenue that is targeted. 25 Mr. Urdahl replied this would depend on the willingness of businesses to participate. They would 26 hope to raise between $5,000 and$8,000 per year. The school district is not able to provide 27 anything more than cutting grass, fertilizing, and taking care of the bare bones minimum for park 28 maintenance; this would supplement that source to make improvements they have not been able 29 to do. 30 31 Commissioner Jensen inquired about funding for the landscaping design for the perimeter of the 32 ball field. Mr. Urdahl indicated there is not currently a plan in place. The first thing SABA would 33 like to see happen is trees from center field to left field. The preference for the field would be to 34 have a break and more natural boundaries such as trees. 35 36 Mr. Hanson stated there is no plan and no accountability. This is obviously a fundraiser to raise 37 $5,000 to $8,000. He pointed out that the school district just bought a new mower for the fields, 38 which cost roughly$26,000. The American Legion gives tens of thousands of dollars and has 39 never asked once to have their name displayed. He sympathizes with SABA, but the people that 40 come to the park should not be exposed to this type of pollution. He expressed concern that the 41 same situation will soon spread to the tennis courts and hockey rinks. 42 43 Chair Stromgren closed the public hearing at 7:38 p.m. 44 45 Commissioner Jensen there is a mechanism for debate to be handled under the conditional use 46 permit process whereby criteria in the City Code requires that a plan specifically must show what J Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes April 21, 2009 Page 5 1 is being asked and the conditions by which that plan would be allowed. The conditional use 2 permit would then be voted up or down. There are safeguards with this process and he would be 3 in support of placing a motion to allow the City Council to have that discussion. 4 5 Chair Stromgren stated he had input on some of the items attached to the amendment through 6 conversations with Assistant City Manager Moore-Sykes and Mr. Brever. Specifically the 7 concerns raised by Mr. Hanson in terms of adding the 250 foot distance were addressed. This 8 was to deal with tennis courts and hockey rinks and conditions that are too close to homes in his 9 opinion. In the Concept Review the applicant showed a photo shop rendering showing the 10 concept they planned which was small signs surrounded by ivy. Concept Review is the time that 11 the landscaping plan and schedules would be presented. The task tonight relates to the ordinance 12 change but does not approve any signage to be installed. The total square footage of 24 square 13 feet for individual signs came from the Concept Review presentation; the quantity discussed at 14 that time was 10 to 20 signs. This could be part of the conditional use permit. Chair Stromgren 15 expressed concern that item 5 is open ended and suggested changing it to state that signs may not 16 be displayed for more than six months out of the calendar year. 17 18 Commissioner Jenson noted the question has come up of whether this sets a precedent, such as 19 with fencing around tennis courts. He stated this needs to be thought through to make sure that 20 the right precedent is being set for the long term. 21 22 Commissioner Chaput noted item #4 states that individual signs cannot exceed 15%. He 23 suggested amending this to state that the cumulate area of all signs shall not exceed 15%. He 24 pointed out that there has been discussion about ivy being on the signs,but ivy takes time to 25 grow. It was mentioned that the conditional use permit would be up to two years; the ivy may not 26 be established in that time period so they could be looking at vinyl signs attached to a chain link 27 fence. 28 29 Commissioner Heinis suggested addressing illumination under item#2. 30 31 Commissioner Jensen noted that the field currently has illumination, and over time will have 32 more bells and whistles. He inquired whether there was a permitting discussion when the 33 scoreboard was installed. Assistant City Manager Moore-Sykes indicated that staff can provide 34 information on this. 35 36 Commissioner Jensen inquired whether the preferred method would be to include a condition 37 that the signage would be approved for no longer than a couple of years and then revisited,rather 38 than creating a temporary use category. He noted in some communities topics that are deemed 39 sensitive are granted temporary conditional use permits and are subject to review and renewal. 40 He suggested looking at the 24 square foot area as the maximum sign size, fleshing out language 41 in the differences between the two sizes, and proposing a cap. There was discussion at the last 42 Commission meeting,which was to say that the sign area would be no more than 10% of the 43 fencing area. He suggested the conditions include a requirement that the sign area would be no 44 more than 10%of the fence area within bulleted items 1-5 of the proposed amendment. He 45 indicated he would be open to table this to allow for a revision of the language that the school 46 district would like to advocate since they are the entity being described in the code amendment. Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes April 21, 2009 Page 6 1 He stated his preference to have the dimensions of the distance from the field to the nearby 2 properties verified prior to moving forward with the ordinance amendment. 3 4 Commissioner Crone inquired whether it would be appropriate in this format to tighten up 5 restrictions on language allowed on the signs. Chair Stromgren noted that the discussion at 6 Concept Review referred to school district policy about tobacco and alcohol. He suggested 7 attaching a copy of the policy to the conditional use permit. He stated his preference for the code 8 amendment not being too restrictive with the conditional use permit taking care of what is 9 proposed at the specific moment in time. 10 11 Motion by Commissioner Jensen to table the amendment to the sign ordinance, temporary 12 outfield sign; to the May 19, 2009 Planning Commission meeting, with the school district to 13 propose more specific language or confirm that they would like an area greater than 24 square 14 feet per sign. 15 16 Assistant City Manager Moore-Sykes stated this is an amendment to the ordinance and the City 17 Council will be holding three readings. It is possible that the language could be fleshed out 18 during this process and also in the conditional use permit process. 19 20 Commissioner Jenson indicated that he would like to see a plan, rather than just a concept. He 21 pointed out that this is setting a precedent and needs to be thought through. 22 23 Chair Stromgren stated that a specific plan should be considered at some point,but would be 24 more suitable for the conditional use permit process. 25 26 Motion seconded by Commissioner Jenson. 27 28 Commissioner Jensen clarified that the applicant should provide direction on whether it would be 29 preferred to follow a temporary or conditional use permit process, the preferred size limitation, 30 and whether there is a cap which would relate to a total fundraising goal. 31 32 Mr. Brever stated with regards to the specific categories of temporary or a conditional use, he 33 does not see much of a difference and feels it could go either direction based on how the 34 Commission and Council would like to proceed when the permit request is submitted. There 35 could be an option whereby the conditional use permit would be good for three years with an 36 evaluation; he does not believe a new temporary category would be needed. With regard to the 37 size of the signs, allowance for a larger sign in the ordinance amendment would likely be 38 preferred, while a smaller size could be required in specific conditional use permits. With regard 39 to submitting a plan, this would be done during the conditional use permit process. 40 41 Chair Stromgren requested the following changes to the conditions included in the proposed 42 Amendment to Title XV, 155.29 (D): 43 13 Item#4: Individual signs cannot exceed 15%or a cumulative of 500 square foot total, 44 whichever is less. 45 o Item#5: Signs may be displayed for up to six months per calendar year. 46 J Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes April 21, 2009 Page 7 1 Chair Stromgren stated his position that the referenced 60 square foot sign area is too big, and 2 that the proposed language submitted by the school district is far to open ended. He suggested it 3 could be specified that signs would only apply to Palm Field with other options ruled out. 4 5 Commissioner Jensen commented there are times when there are many different things like 6 Village Fest and walkathons going on in Central Park. He requested verification that these types 7 of things will not be ruled out and noted that a conditional use permit process to allow for 8 temporary signs could be beneficial. Chair Stromgren noted the possibility of a permit being 9 obtained for a one week time period. 10 11 Motion carried unanimously. 12 13 VIII. CONCEPT REVIEWS 14 15 VIE.1 CUP REQUEST FOR ELECTRONIC SIGNS (2)— ISD 282 16 17 Assistant City Manager Moore-Sykes stated staff was contacted by Mr. Linn Bjornrud, Wold 18 Architects and Engineers, contacted staff to ask about the process for obtaining a conditional use 19 permit to allow for the placement of electronic signs on the St. Anthony Middle (SAMS) and St. 20 Anthony High School (SAHS)properties. Staff advised Mr. Bjornrud of the process and the City 21 sign ordinance requirements. Mr. Bjornrud indicated that animation had been planned as part of 22 the software program the school district was interested in using for the electronic sign. 23 24 Mr. Linn Bjornrud, Wold Architects and Engineers, addressed the Planning Commission and 25 provided information on the conditional use permit proposal for electronic signs with animation 26 and flashing for the SAMS and SAHS properties. The school district would like to replace the 27 current SAMS and SAHS monument entrance signs with a sign centralized between the schools. 28 The sign will provide communication on happenings in academics and activities at the schools. 29 The school district has requested discussion on the possibility of displaying students' 30 photography on the sign. They are aware that would cross over into the animated sign category, 31 which is prohibited in the ordinance. They would like discussion from the Commission on 32 whether it would be worth submitting an application for this request. 33 34 Chair Stromgren stated in regards to the issue of animation, the City went through a conditional 35 use permit process to put up the electronic sign on Silver Lake Road. There are specifics on the 36 length of time a message has to be up due to concern of safety hazards with things that change 37 too quickly and may be distracting to drivers. Approval of animation in the sign by the Planning 38 Commission or City Council would likely be fairly small. 39 40 Commissioner Crone requested further information regarding the display of photos on the sign. 41 Mr. Bjornrud replied that the school district sees the sign as a tool for communicating to the 42 community. They were asking the question of what media would be acceptable and would like to 43 know whether the school district,which provides a benefit to the community of getting messages 44 out, would be allowed to use this type of signage. 45 Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes April 21, 2009 Page 8 1 There was discussion on traffic safety concerns associated with animation being allowed on the 2 sign. 3 4 Commissioner Jensen noted that the ability to review the image field is controlled and the 5 conditional use permit would clearly limit or be able to describe those portions of the software 6 package. He stated he would be open to adding that opportunity to be out there. They are 7 constantly seeing variations of signage in the community with a variety of ways to promote the 8 community feature and it is nice to have the ability to have a little more data out there. 9 10 Chair Stromgren stated to address the specific proposal, the specific design looks very nice but 11 the ordinance lists a restriction on ground signs in a recreational open space at 150 square feet 12 and this greatly exceeds that amount. Also, there is an aerial image suggesting the location but 13 the Commission would need to see a specific site plan and landscaping. There is a requirement to 14 be at least 15 feet from the curb. 15 16 Commissioner Jenson noted the height requirement is conforming at 8 feet. � � q g 17 18 Commissioner Jensen asked if this location is being prewired soon. Mr. Bjornrud replied it will 19 not be wired until school is out; no sooner than the middle of June. 20 21 Commissioner Jensen asked whether this is the only alternative location for the sign that the 22 school district would like or whether there are two to three other sign locations being considered 23 on this frontage. Mr. Bjornrud replied that there is currently an existing sign in front of the 24 middle school and one in front of the high school. These signs will be removed and replaced with 25 this one sign. It is an ideal location with a similar setback from the street and centralized between 26 the middle school and high school entry. 27 28 Assistant City Manager Moore-Sykes clarified that the request is for one sign. Mr. Bjornrud 29 explained that the sign will be double-sided. Ultimately the school district wanted a preliminary 30 discussion to see whether it would be advisable to seek a conditional use permit for an electronic 31 sign or whether it would be acceptable to pursue something beyond that. 32 33 Commissioner Chaput asked if the school logos will be illuminated. Mr. Bjornrud replied that the 34 logos will be precast concrete with external lighting shining onto the logos. 35 36 Commissioner Chaput requested further information regarding the animated electronics display. 37 Mr. Bjornrud explained this is part of what the school district would like to establish tonight with 38 discussion on whether to seek an approval for an electronic message sign or to request approval 39 for a sign with LCD display and capabilities to display photographic quality images. 40 41 Chair Stromgren noted that the technology used may not be as important as what is being 42 displayed. He noted that the hours and use would apply; this has always been a discussion any 43 time illuminated signs are near residences. 44 45 Commissioner Chaput pointed out that with an LCD sign the hours of operation would be 46 important to note under Section 155.22 of the City ordinance. Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes April 21, 2009 Page 9 1 2 A resident addressed the Planning Commission and stated he lives on 33`d Avenue across the 3 street from the school. He is very concerned with having what appears to be a very large sign, 4 possibly with flashing. The signs that are there now are already very bright for the neighbors 5 across the street and anything brighter than that would be disruptive. Their bedrooms face the 6 road. They already deal with a lot of things with the school that they did not deal with when they 7 bought the house, and now they will be changing the entire front and taking away all the green 8 space. He stated they need to tone this down and realize that signage is important, but it also 9 needs to relate to the residents. 10 11 Chair Stromgren explained that City Code prohibits flashing signs. 12 13 Assistant City Manager Moore-Sykes indicated that there is a specific amount of time that the 14 sign is allowed to be illuminated. 15 16 VIII.2 CUP REQUEST FOR T-MOBILE—KENSINGTON 17 18 Assistant City Manager Moore-Sykes stated staff was contacted by Mr. Jed Kruthcen from T- 19 Mobile about the process for obtaining permission from the City to install a cell phone tower on 20 the roof of a building. He had been working with the association board of Kensington Condos. 21 She explained to him that a conditional use permit would be needed. Mr. Kruthcen got approval 22 from the association board to proceed with this application for a conditional use permit. Mr. 23 Kruthcen is attending tonight as a Concept Review. T-Mobile has provided an installation plan 24 for the cell phone tower. 25 26 Mr. Joey Gay, representative of T-Mobile,presented the installation plan for the proposed cell 27 phone tower and answered questions of the Planning Commission. He explained the objective of 28 T-Mobile is to get coverage in the neighborhood behind Kensington. This is the best location to 29 obtain coverage in the area. The tower would be located on the northwest side of the building 30 and would be painted to match the building. 31 32 Commissioner Jensen suggested that a mock up with photos be prepared for the public hearing to 33 address any concerns. 34 35 VIII.3 LOT SPLIT REQUEST—4017 SILVER LAKE ROAD 36 37 Assistant City Manager Moore-Sykes stated that Susan Lindberg is a personal representative for 38 her father's estate. As a result she is heir to a lot at 4017 Silver Lake Road. It is an extremely 39 long lot extending from Silver Lake Road to Penrod. The request is to split the lot into two lots to 40 facilitate an easier sale. There is an agreement with someone to purchase the lot once it is split 41 and approved. Assistant City Manager Moore-Sykes presented the proposed survey depicting the 42 lot split with both lots conforming. The lot with the structure will be approximately 11,000 43 square feet and the other lot will be approximately 10,000 square feet. There is a public easement 44 for an alley on the lot. When this area was originally platted there was the thought of putting an 45 alley in;however this is the only lot with an alley easement. In talking with the City Attorney he 46 indicated that he did not see any issues if the easement were to remain because both lots would Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes April 21, 2009 Page 10 1 be conforming. It would be up to the owner if they would like to request that the City vacate the 2 easement. 3 4 Chair Stromgren commented that Penrod consists of all single family homes. Commissioner 5 Jenson noted that the addition of a home on Penrod following the lot split would likely be more 6 characteristic of the Penrod neighborhood. 7 8 Assistant City Manager Moore-Sykes stated that the survey has been completed; the application 9 and fees have been submitted. A public hearing will be scheduled for the May Planning 10 Commission meeting. 11 12 IX. OTHER BUSINESS. 13 14 None. 15 16 X.

INFORMATION AND ANNOUNCEMENTS. 27 28 XI.1 CLEAN-UP DAY—MAY 2, 2009—9:00 A.M. — 1:00 P.M. —3801 CHANDLER 29 DRIVE 30 31 Chair Stromgren noted that Clean-Up Day is scheduled for May 2, 2009. The newsletter states 32 what is accepted and includes information about community groups providing assistance to 33 citizens that need help. 34 35 Commissioner Crone stated she attended Government Training Services Conference a couple 36 weeks ago and would like to thank the City for investing in the commissions in this way. 37 38 Commissioner Chaput inquired if the Silver Lake Road overlay is scheduled for May. Assistant 39 City Manager Moore-Sykes stated the final level will put down and landscaping work done the 40 end of April and into May, weather permitting. 41 42 Commissioner Jensen asked if there is an effort to have the homeowners help in adopting 43 plantings,rather than presume that the City will keep them alive. Assistant City Manager Moore- 44 Sykes replied that individuals can contact city hall for the particulars on the plantings; it is hoped 45 that homeowners would assist with the plantings. 46 Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes April 21, 2009 Page 11 1 XIII.

The signs would advertise local businesses,would be tasteful, and would only be up for a 120 day period during the summer months. We are very fortunate to have one of the premier high school baseball fields in the state of Minnesota. -The income generated from the signs will supplement all of the volunteer labor that we receive from the St. Anthony Baseball Association(SABA) and allow us to continue to provide a first class playing field. The varsity field is used by a wide variety of groups—including our town ball team, the St. Anthony Hogs, our senior men's league team—the Norsemen, and several others. With the extensive use of the fields to these groups, we need to continue the high level of maintenance to keep our field in great shape. This is done outside of the school board budget as resources are not available for the level of field maintenance that we have become accustomed to at Palm Field. We very much appreciate your cooperation on allowing for a temporary installation of signage at Palm Field. Your assistance will allow us to maintain a source of community pride in our varsity baseball field—home to the State Champion Huskies!

From: Kim Moore-Sykes,Assistant CityManager Ob Date: May 19,2009 Subject: Lot Split for 4017 Silver Lake Road Requested Action: Lot split for 4017 Silver Lake Road to create two single family residential lots;4017 Silver Lake Road and proposed 4016 Penrod Lane Date Application Received: April 21,2009 Property Address: 4017 Silver Lake Road Zoning District: R 1 60-Day Expires: June 22,2009 Waiver Letter Required: N/A Yes Date Sent; No Future Action: Council Action to approve proposed lot split. Background: Earlier this year,Ms Susan Lindberg contacted Staff looking for information about applying for a lot split of 4017 Silver Lake Road. Ms.Lindberg had inherited this property and has had it on the market for sale. The marketing of this property has produced an interested buyer for the portion of the current lot that would be vacant should the lot split be approved by City Council. A recent survey of the lot as it currently exists shows it to be an interior lot of 21,214 square feet or.487 acres. Of this 21,214 square feet,99 square feet is reserved as a right-of way for Silver Lake Road and 1,117 square feet that was originally intended for an easement for an alley that was never used. The resultant lots,if the lot split application is approved,would have Parcel A with 11,166 square feet, including the alley easement and Parcel B with 10,048 square feet. Both parcels will be conforming lots as required by the City's Zoning Ordinance with a minimum of 9,000 square feet. Parcel A will retain the address of 4017 Silver Lake Road and Parcel B will be 4016 Penrod Lane. The buyer proposes to build a single family structure once he closes on the purchase of Parcel B. Staff asked the City attorney if it was necessary for the City to vacate the alley easement. He indicated that since it is wholly contained within the lot and of no use, it is not necessary to vacate it.

Background: Ms. Kalthum Jama,Ikram Childcare, LLC, has requested a Conditional Use Permit to allow Ikram Daycare to locate at 3055 Old US Hwy. 8,also known as the St.Anthony Business Center. The subject property is zoned Light Industrial. The applicants presented a CUP application to the Planning Commission in a concept review held at the March 17,2009 Planning Commission meeting. Application Review: The applicant has followed the procedure in applying for Conditional Use Permit(CUP) as outlined in Section 152.243 Conditional Use Permits. An application for the CUP was made on forms provided to Ms.Jama by Staff. The application was signed and dated and the fee in the amount as specified in Chapter 33 of the City Code was attached to the competed application. The public hearing notice for the May Planning Commission meeting was published in the City's legal newspaper and notices were mailed to property owners adjacent to the property, according to Sections 30.45 through 30.48. The application is scheduled for the May 26, 2009 City Council meeting for consideration. The CUP application be reviewed and considered with the following items in mind: a.)

We want to provide a fun, loving, educational environment for young minds. The St Anthony Business Center will help us establish such a space. Our child care facility is designed to create a fun, loving and nurturing environment for our growing children. We believe that children have the desire to learn and grow and our skilled staff will nurture this need at an early age. Our staff consists of loving mothers and highly trained teachers who will provide an environment that values diversity, promotes family values and helps children reach their full potential. Our staff will implement safe and age appropriate lessons designed to foster a growing mind and we believe that the city of St. Anthony would be the right place to do so. 2) Our hours of operations will be from 6:00 am to 6:OOpm Monday through Friday. In order to accommodate the potential build up of traffic, we will offer rides to and from the center which will reduce the number of cars that come into our center everyday and also the traffic our daycare will cause. Parents are welcome to come and check on their children at any time, but since we will have scheduled parent-teacher conferences, we don't expect it to happen very often or cause any problems with our neighbors or the other tenants in our building. Since safety is our number one concern, outside play will be minimum and scheduled. More over, if you look at the site plan of St. Anthony Business Center, you will see the parking lot on the South end of the building, as well as the one way loop. The Southern parking lot will be used for parents to park and bring their children inside, and for pickup, the one way loop will easily accommodate the parents picking up their children, as there is enough space to stop as well as let traffic flow past. We believe that controlling our traffic and minimizing outside play, we will prevent conditions that may cause issues with our neighbors. 3) We got into this business to create a place where children could be creative,playful and nurture. To create such a space, we picked a building that is safe and have enough room where children could be children. We hired nurturing teachers who will give each child the individual attention that he/she needs. We also hired a health and safety person who will ensure that our policies and procurers as well as the city and state rules and regulation are carried out.

The City's ordinance restricts the height of fences at the building setback or behind to six (6) feet. Mr. Severson reported that his property is adjacent to 2916 Silver Lake Court, the owners of which were granted a 2-foot variance in 2008 to install an 8-foot back fence to block out traffic noise and street lights from Silver Lake Road. Mr. Severson indicated that he too has to deal with the same traffic noise and street lights. Application Review: Staff provided Mr. Severson with information about the application and approval process for obtaining a variance,including a timeline. He agreed to come to a concept review to explain his request and receive input from the Planning Commission.

From: Kim Moore-Sykes, Assistant City Manager OAI-?Date: May 19,2009 Subject: Formal Approval of the City's 2008 Comprehensive Plan Update Requested Action: Recommendation for Formal Approval of the City's 2008 Comprehensive Plan Update Date Application Received: N/A Property Address: N/A Zoning District: N/A 60-Day Expires: N/A Waiver Letter Required: Yes N/A Date Sent: No Future Action: Approval by Resolution of the 2008 Comprehensive Land Use Update by City Council. Background: In Minnesota, authority for land use planning and regulation has been traditionally placed with local governments,i.e.,cities, townships or counties. In 1976, the state legislature passed a law,The Metropolitan Land Planning Act that required local governments in the seven-county metro-area to develop local comprehensive land use plans. The Act has been amended several times since 1976 but still requires local government to update maps and data showing current and future land use; development plan for communities planning to expand their urban service area;a housing plan; a surface water management plan;plans for public facilities and infrastructure,i.e. transportation,sewers, and parks;and other elements that are pertinent to that municipality. A jurisdictions local comprehensive land use plan is required to be reviewed and updated every ten years. St. Anthony's Comprehensive Plan was last updated in 1998. St. Anthony City staff began working with an ad hoc task force comprised of interested residents,Bill Weber, a planner with McCombs, Frank Roos & Assoc. and the City Engineer in 2006 on updating the City's Comprehensive Land Use Plan Update. Once all the changes and improvements were noted and compiled into a preliminary document, the City submitted its draft comprehensive land use plan update to the surrounding communities, Hennepin and Ramsey counties,and other interested governmental and quasi- governmental agencies for their review and comment. Once the comments period had expired,any comments that Staff received were submitted to Mr. Weber for inclusion in the Comp Plan Update. Council was then asked to approve by resolution the submission of the preliminary Comp Plan to the Met Council for its review. Staff received several comments from the Met Council which were incorporated into the Plan Update and resubmitted to the Met Council. 05192009 Formal Comp Plan Approval.doc In March 2009,chapters from the City's Comprehensive Land Use Plan Update went before various Met Council committees for review and approval. The whole document was then submitted to the full Council for approval on March 25,2009. On March 27,2009,Staff received a letter advising the City that the City's Update meets all the Metropolitan Land Planning Act requirements,conforms to the regional system plans, including transportation,aviation,water resources management,and parks. The Plan is also consistent with the 2030 Regional Development Framework. The letter also stated that the City's Plan may be put into effect. The Met Council did pass on several recommendations,which are as follows: 1. Put its Comprehensive Plan Update into effect; 2. Revise the Update to reflect toe corrections listed for transportation; 3. Advise the Met Council when the watersheds have approved the City's Water Resources Management Plan(WRMP) and send a copy of the final WRMP if revised; 4. Continue to implement conservation programs targeted at reducing residential water use. 5. Approve the City's Tier H Comprehensive Sewer Plan. These recommendations do not prevent the City's Plan Update to be put into effect;most are simply items that are currently being worked on and once completed,will be inference become part of the current plan and incorporated into the next update. Action: Recommend formal approval of the City's 2008 Comprehensive Land Use Plan Update to the City Council.
