The majority of the Conference was 15 related to that. 16 17 VIII. COMMUNITY FORUM. 18 19 Ms. Nancy Gonzalez, 3109 Rankin Road, stated she has lived there for 31 years and a dear friend 20 of hers, Frank Adelmann, took his own life on June 20. Frank lived in Lowry Grove and killed 21 himself 10 days before the City was going to evict him. He was a lifelong citizen of St. Anthony. 22 She provided a brief explanation of Frank's life in St. Anthony, indicating she had looked after 23 him and provided monetary support over the years. Ms. Gonzalez is caring for the cat that had 24 survived Frank. Ms. Gonzalez warned there will be repercussions from the closing of Lowry 25 Grove and asked why no study was done about the closing of Lowry Grove. She believed 26 Frank's death was caused by poorly executed public policy. 27 28 Mr. Howard Dotson, Maple Grove, stated he has served in St. Anthony has a hospice chaplain. 29 He believed the death of Philando Castile was a homicide and that every officer needs to have 30 CIT training. Mr. Dotson noted Officer Yanez had 2 hours of CIT training, which is the source of 31 this tragedy. 32 33 Mr. John Thompson, noted he heard the meetings the Council had attended which is just 34 checking the box. He stated he was in the courtroom when he heard black lives don't really 35 matter. Mr. Thompson stated they cannot move at Council's pace. He saw Officer Yanez shoot 36 his friend seven times and they can move forward when blood money isn't paid. Mr. Thompson 37 believed that the Council has blood on their hands and asked the Chief of Police, Mayor, and 38 Councilmembers to stand up and resign. He stated he will organize to remove all from their 39 positions and wants his friend back, not money. 40 41 Ms. Sandy Sherman, Foss Road, stated she is a member of St. Anthony Villagers for Community 42 Actions ( SAVCA). She read a statement prepared by the SAVCA and stated her belief that 43 Mayor Faust and the Council have demonstrated a pattern and practice of ignoring and 44 dismissing concerns, compromising the well -being of many community members. She believed 45 that Mayor Faust has become a liability to the city and the results of his decisions were fiscally 46 damaging to our community. The statement read by Ms. Sherman included incidents through the City Council Regular Meeting Minutes June 27, 2017 Page 4 1 past few years including the Islamic temple, the closing of Lowry Grove, the murder of Philando 2 Castile, the actions of the police department, legal fees paid by the City, and added liability for 3 the City. Ms. Sherman stated a Mayor is needed to communicate and answer questions, noting 4 she believes that violations of Title VI were also included. She stated legal settlements after -the- 5 fact do not indicate leadership and asked Mayor Faust to resign. 6 7 Ms. Antonio Alvarez, resident of Lowry Grove, speaking through an interpreter, indicated that in 8 the last 14 months she has had no representation from the City. She stated she saw Mayor Faust 9 at the vigil for Frank, who committed suicide because he was losing his home. Ms. Alvarez 10 believed the City has done nothing to provide affordable housing for the residents of Lowry 11 Grove and they do not have representation. She noted Frank voted for the Council but the chairs 12 they are in are too big for them. She wants justice for Lowry Grove residents and affordable 13 housing as many residents will end up homeless. 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 Ms. Beth Wook, Como Area 1145 Argyle, stated she is exasperated about the verdict for Officer Yanez for killing Philando Castile. She stated a cousin of Philando's was protesting for the death of his cousin, was arrested, and the trials were postponed. Ms. Wook stated she resents how Mayor Faust treated her rudely. She thinks Mayor Faust should resign and has blood on his hands as well as the other Councilmembers. Ms. Wook stated it sickens her about Frank who killed himself, noting the whole world is watching St. Anthony. She believes that Officer Yanez was not a good fit for an officer. Ms. Luann Zappa, 2501 Lowry, stated she moved in November to Mounds View and is a recovering addict. She stated she helps others with their recovery and is taking in people from Lowry Grove who have nowhere else to live. Ms. Zappa noted that others in St. Anthony have also taken in Lowry Grove residents. She stated she takes care of her people and she is a lonely disabled woman. Ms. Michelle Gross, president of the organization Communities United Against Police Brutality, stated she is supporting the residents of St. Anthony. She stated she attended the trial, is certain Officer Yanez lied on the stand, and that Chief Mangseth validated those lies. Ms. Gross stated Officer Yanez has offers to go to other communities and their 24 -hour hotline has received calls from people regarding Officer Yanez. She believed that Officer Yanez has an anger management problem. Ms. Gross stated people had attempted to complain about Officer Yanez and St. Anthony kept him knowing he had a problem. She believed that people don't give others close to $3 million if they have no liability and that there are more lawsuits coming. Ms. Gross stated the Council needs to bring back materials from conferences they attend and do something with it. She believed there was a problem with the culture of the leadership of the community and the police department and that Mayor Faust should step down immediately. A speaker who did not identify herself stated she was born and raised in St. Anthony and lived in Lowry Grove. She now lives in Edgemere and her son was stabbed when across the street of her home. She stated had a fence downed and tried to complain to the City. She stated she was harassed by a neighbor so her son came and stayed with her because she was afraid. Then she was notified by the City Attorney that her son would need to leave since he was parking his business equipment. She stated she is not black, she is not poor, and the City has done nothing 4 City Council Regular Meeting Minutes June 27, 2017 Page 5 for her. She was also questioned when her son was at her home about taking care of her lawn. She stated her son was stabbed seven times and Mayor Faust stated he was not aware that had happened. She stated has had some issues with a neighbor on numerous occasions and expressed concern for no lighting on the sidewalk. 6 Mr. Curtis Avent stated he has been to these meetings before, St. Anthony is a beautiful 7 community, and he has worked with people in this community to try to solve some of the issues. 8 He referred to the DOJ training and his belief that the officers taking the training did not want to 9 be there. He stated he was sorry to hear about Frank who committed suicide as everyone 10 deserves housing they can live in. He stated he does not live in St. Anthony but supports those 11 that do as he is part of the "community," and thinks it was ridiculous that Officer Yanez was put 12 back on duty. He noted that $3 million will come from somewhere and yet no affordable housing 13 is available. He believed that the Council needs to address the issues raised by the residents and 14 questioned which communities have given shout outs to St. Anthony per Mayor Faust. He 15 believed the Council is screwing up, not listening to the community, and people can only take so 16 much before they begin to react negatively. He stated the Council's job is to listen and 17 implement what the residents need. He stated the former officer's actions are now getting the 18 current officer's death threats and that the Council let a murderer back into his position, which 19 was not okay. He stated Officer Yanez can still be a police officer in another community, which 20 he believes is horrible as all officers and Council take an oath to protect and respect the 21 community they make decisions for. He believed that Officer Yanez had numerous complaints 22 before the murder and the DOJ had to come to St Anthony twice. He stated there needs to be 23 communication and response between Council and their constituents so it does not surprise him 24 that people are asking for resignations. He believed that if Council can't do it they should step 25 down and give the positions to someone that can, noting he will continue to help the community. 26 27 Ms. Julie Pierce, resident of New Brighton, stated she feels betrayed, manipulated, and lied to 28 because they been told to wait. They waited and there still is no justice. She stated she assumes 29 that everyone present saw the dash cam video. 30 31 Mayor Faust stated Council saw it when it was on television. Chief Mangseth stated the tape was 32 turned over and confirmed it was not viewed prior to being turned over to the BCA. 33 34 Ms. Pierce stated she sees what the City is trying to do is in vein and believes that true change 35 will not come with Mr. Faust as Mayor since he has shown what white privilege and classism 36 looks like. She believed that Mayor Faust is the epitome of the problem, noting a community 37 forum or town hall meeting has never been called. Ms. Pierce believed the youth leadership 38 group has helped more than the Council and she has been shocked with Mayor Faust's lack of 39 respect. She asserted that Mayor Faust said in a meeting "At least in the south black people know 40 their place ". Ms. Pierce stated she found Mayor Faust's ownership over the Council and staff is 41 disgusting and St. Anthony shouldn't be treated as Mayberry. She stated enough is enough, St. 42 Anthony needs a new leader, and asked for Mayor Faust's resignation. 43 44 Ms. Nona Kennedy - Carlson 2926 Armour Terrance, stated she is far past being reasonable and 45 will go over 5 minutes. She referred to the joint statement from Philando's mother and the City 46 of St. Anthony. She asked where the "continuous healing" is happening as St. Anthony is a 0 City Council Regular Meeting Minutes June 27, 2017 Page 6 1 community divided, actions of the Council were just checked off on a list and her 50+ emails 2 were ignored. She stated there has been no reaching out to the community. Ms. Kennedy - Carlson 3 recapped the meetings she had with Councilmembers, asserting the Mayor controls the 4 councilmembers. She stated the murder of Philando Castile has been referred to by Council as an 5 incident and the amount of the contract with Falcon Heights did not cover the liability St. 6 Anthony had. Ms. Kennedy - Carlson stated there was a resolution that put all risk and liability to 7 Falcon Heights and Falcon Heights had also questioned the capability of the St. Anthony Council 8 to lead the City. She stated she had a conversation with the Middle and High School students, 9 was there to listen first, and heard that the black and brown youth in the community are terrified 10 as those students are racially harassed. Ms. Kennedy- Carlson believed that Mayor Faust is not a 1 I leader, is a bully, a liability, and he should step down as Mayor of St. Anthony. 12 13 Ms. Rebecca Erler, 3155 and Edward, stated she moved here seven years ago. They chose St. 14 Anthony as an amazing place to raise kids. She asked the Mayor and Council why they are in 15 public service and stated she is ashamed to say she voted for the Mayor and Council. Ms. Erler 16 stated the last year has been very tough and this whole situation has opened her eyes. She 17 appealed to the residents and stated the Council did not want to deal with what was happening in 18 front of them, thinking they were not charged with solving the race problem in the nation. She 19 feels if she were in place of Philando and being pulled over, she would be alive. Ms. Erler stated 20 running for office is a huge responsibility. She regrets not knowing who she voted for and will 21 never do it again. 22 23 Mr. Steve Hanson stated he has lived in St. Anthony for 30 years and is ashamed to be a resident 24 of St. Anthony. He could not believe Officer Yanez could get off and that the Lowry Grove 25 situation was horrible. Mr. Hanson asked if the Council ever thought about what they were 26 doing to those people and if they attend church. 27 28 Ms. Vanessa Gadberry, resident of Minneapolis, stated she has lived in Twin Cities her entire 29 life. Her grandfather villainized the Black Lives Matter movement. She stated she works full 30 time and is passionate about her career, just like Philando Castile. Ms. Gadberry stated whether 31 or not a person has a job does not speak to their worth. She is a human who values other humans 32 and believes the Council should note the faces that appear before them. She stated Black Lives 33 Matter and this should be heard from the City officials and police department. 34 35 Ms. Erin Jordahl - Redlin, 3012 Armor Terrace, described her experience while attending a racial 36 bias training session with St. Anthony employees. She paraphrased comments made during the 37 training, finding most of the people were respectful but several St. Anthony employees acted 38 hostile and unwilling to be at the training. These employees were members of the Police 39 Department. Ms. Jordahl - Redlin relayed that several police officers shared their thoughts, felt 40 they were under attack, asked why people of color did not like members of their profession, and 41 whether they should continue in their jobs. She stated she heard very much anger and pain and 42 left the training upset by what she heard. Ms. Jordahl - Redlin believed mental health counseling 43 should be available to the police officers and that there is a culture of bias problem within the 44 Police Department. She stated officers attend warrior training to make them think more like 45 warriors but believed they don't spend enough time working to de- escalate situations. She stated 46 she is worried about the training for the police officers and lack of mental health counseling. Ms. 7 City Council Regular Meeting Minutes June 27, 2017 Page 7 1 Jordahl - Redlin believed that no changes will happen until those in power are gone, stating she 2 has lost confidence that the leaders of St. Anthony can address the problems. 3 4 Ms. Kelly Regen, 2614 30'x' Avenue NE, stated they moved to St Anthony two years ago before 5 they knew. She apologized she did not step up and join the residents and asked Mayor Faust to 6 step up and step down. 7 8 Ms. Heidi Andermack 2705 Townview Avenue NE, quoting Franklin Roosevelt, stated `the only 9 thing we have to fear is fear itself.' She believed a lot of decisions have been made by the 10 Council out of fear in the last year and that St. Anthony is in a downward spiral due to fear and 11 decisions made. She stated the energy of the people present is going to take back the community 12 because they are fired up and ready to go. 13 14 Ms. Sophia Valdez, 2404 27' Avenue NE, stated she appeared before the Council a year ago and 15 spoke about progress. She believed that progress did not happen following Philando Castile's 16 death. She quoted the definition of a good leader and asked the Council to exercise their 17 strengths. 18 19 Ms. Kate Martin 2513 35`s Avenue, stated she has attended Lowry Grove meetings every week 20 for the past year. She shared examples of how community members have helped the Lowry 21 Grove residents and stated she is very sad about what happened at Lowry Grove. She believed 22 that while the Council attended different meetings, they found no time to help the Lowry Grove 23 residents and this group of leaders has ignored the Lowry Grove residents. 24 25 Ms. Jennifer McGuire, 3408 31' Avenue NE, stated she shared last year about an incident that 26 occurred in her front yard. She has spent a lot of time searching the database made available to 27 her, spoke to the DOJ, spent some time with Lowry Grove residents, and a family from Lowry 28 Grove is moving into her home. Ms. McGuire stated she is a member of the Police Advisory 29 Council and her wife was at the meeting where the Police Department annual report was 30 presented but was not allowed to ask Chief Mangseth any questions. Ms. McGuire stated she 31 found Mayor Faust's treatment of her wife at that meeting to be horrible and disrespectful 32 including homophobic commentary, which she does not appreciate that. She stated it is 33 inappropriate to make commentary about people who are not like yourselves. 34 35 Mayor Faust asked if anyone else wished to speak. No one appeared at the podium 36 37 IX.

The Applicant is requesting to construct an attached deck behind their home at 3204 Townview Avenue. The proposed deck is 14 feet by 14 feet in size. Currently, the applicant's home is set back 31 feet from their rear property line. The addition of a 14 -foot deck would reduce their rear -yard setback to 17 feet. The minimum required setback in the R -1 district is 25 feet. The applicants are therefore requesting an eight -foot variance to the 25 -foot setback requirement to allow their deck to be set back 17 feet from their rear property line. The applicant's lot length, at 119 feet, is a short lot compared to nearly all other lots on this block of Townview Avenue. Both neighboring lots, and all lots on the block, have a lot length closer to 137 feet. Were the applicant's lot to be sized similarly in terms of length, the proposed deck would not require a variance as the rear setback would exceed 25 feet. Because the applicant's plight is due to a unique feature of their property dimensions, staff are recommending approval of the variance request. The Planning Commission met on June 25, 2017, held a public hearing, and recommended unanimous approval of the request, as proposed. One person, the backyard neighbor, spoke against the variance, claiming that the proposal impeded on their privacy. GENERAL INFORMATION Applicant: Viktor & Katherine Adamcsek Owner: Viktor & Katherine Adamcsek Location: 3204 Townview Avenue Existing Land Use / Low - Density Residential / Zoned: R -1 Single Family District Zoning: Surrounding Land North: Low - Density Residential / Zoned: R -1 Single Family District Use / Zoning: East: Low - Density Residential / Zoned: R -1 Single Family District South: High Density Residential / Zoned: R -1 Single Family District West: Low - Density Residential / Zoned: R -1 Single Family District irA in July 11, 2017 Page 2 Deadline for Agency Application Date: 05 -24 -17 Action: 60 Days: 07 -23 -17 Letter Sent: No 120 Days: 09 -21 -17 CONSIDERATIONS RELATING TO THE PROPOSED VARIANCE 1. Background The Applicant is requesting to construct an attached deck behind their home at 3204 Townview Avenue. The proposed deck is 14 feet by 14 feet in size. A deck is exempt from impervious surface calculations, but is subject to setback requirements. Currently, the applicant's home is set back 31 feet from their rear property line. The addition of a 14- foot deck would reduce their rear -yard setback to 17 feet. The minimum required setback in the R -1 district is 25 feet, or 20 percent of the lot depth, whichever is greater. The lot in question is 119 feet deep, so in this case a 25 -foot setback is the greater of the two and is therefore the qualifying rear yard setback distance. Because their proposed deck encroaches upon the 25 -foot rear yard setback dimension, the applicants are requesting an eight -foot variance to the 25 -foot setback requirement to allow their deck to be set back 17 feet from their rear property line instead. The applicants' lot, shown below outlined in blue, is notably shorter in depth that nearly all other lots on this block of Townview Avenue. The applicants' lot is 119 feet deep, while neighboring lots on the block appear to be between 134 and 137 feet deep. While the size and shape of the applicant's home does contribute to a smaller rear yard overall, their rear yard depth is also impacted considerably by the short length of their lot. Were the applicants' property to be the same length as either of their neighbor's, the proposed 14 -foot deck would have a rear yard setback closer to 35 feet and would therefore not trigger a variance request. _- —+� _ - ..-r fir- _ F ` �• , � Nom L 77W 2. Applicable Codes. Title XV Land Usage, Chapter 152 Zoning Code, Section §152.039 DIMENSIONAL REGULATIONS (F) Rear yards in "R -1 Single Family District ". The rear yard must have a depth equal to the greater of 20% of the depth of the entire lot or 25 feet. Title XV Land Usage, Chapter 152 Zoning Code, Section §152.176 ACCESSORY BUILDINGS (C) Accessory buildings attached. If an accessory building is attached to the principal structure, it will be considered a part of the principal building and must comply with all setbacks and other requirements applicable to the principal building. 19 July 11, 2017 Page 3 3. Criteria for and Consistency with Criteria for Variance Approval. Title XV Land Usage, Chapter 152 Zoning Code, Section §152.245, (C) Evidence, lists the criteria the City Council must consider in determining whether to grant or deny a variance. 1. The subject matter of the application is within the scope of this section. The application for a variance to the rear yard setback is an eligible subject matter for variance criteria because these factors are related to dimensional and /or bulk standards, which are the purview of Zoning Code. Criterion met. 2. Strict enforcement would cause practical difficulties because: a. The property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by the zoning code; The Applicant is proposing to construct a 14 by 14 foot deck off the rear portion of their home. The Applicants are proposing to build a deck of a reasonable size and placement, but is not allowed by the Code because deck will encroach upon the rear yard setback. Criterion met. b. The plight of the property owner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the property owner,• The plight of the property owner is a not circumstance created by the property owner, because the property in question is of a unique size and depth compared to nearly all surrounding lots in this area. While the size and shape of the applicant's home is a factor in creating a shorter rear yard depth, their home meets the dimensional requirements of zoning code. The greatest factor contributing to the applicant's need for a variance is their anomalous short lot depth. Were the lot to be sized the same as their neighbors on the block, they would not require a variance to construct this deck. Criterion met. c. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality; and The addition of a deck in the rear yard of the property in question will not alter the essential character of the locality. Rear yard accessory uses are common in this area. Criterion met. d. Economic considerations alone are not the basis of the practical difficulties. The Applicants do not stand to receive economic gain from the granting of this variance. Criterion met. 3. The variance, if granted, would be consistent with the City's comprehensive land use plan. If the variance is granted the use of the property would remain the same land use as it is today, low- density residential. The comprehensive plan guides this area for detached housing units and granting this variance request will not alter that land use. Criterion met. 4. The granting of the variance is in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the zoning code. The intent of the zoning code is to protect the health, safety, and general welfare of the city and its people through the establishment of minimum regulations governing land development and use. The zoning code is established to: protect the use districts; promote orderly development and redevelopment; provide adequate light, air, and access to property; prevent congestion in the public streets; prevent overcrowding of land and undue concentration of structures by regulating land, buildings, yards, and densities; and provide for compatibility of different land uses. 20 July 11, 2017 Page 4 Granting an eight -foot rear yard variance for the construction of a proposed deck will not substantially alter the development order imposed on the R -1 district, and is otherwise compatible with the general purpose and intent of the zoning code. Criterion met. CONCLUSION Staff recommends approval of the requested variance at 3204 Townview Avenue, on the basis that the request passes the practical difficulties test and meets all of the eligibility criteria for variance approval outlined in Title XV Land Usage, Chapter 152 Zoning Code, Section §152.245, (C). The plight of the landowner and the need for a variance can be attributed to the unique short length of the lot in question, and but for the unique shape of the lot, the applicants would not require a variance. Staff recommends the variance be approved with the following conditions of approval. 1. The rear yard setback dimension at 3204 Townview Avenue shall be as shown in the application materials. 2. Issuance of a building permit for proposed addition that meets all the requirements of the building code, all other provision of the zoning code not subject to this variance, and all other applicable regulations. POSSIBLE ACTIONS 1. Motion to adopt the resolution approving of the request for a variance at 3204 Townview Avenue. 2. Motion to deny the variance, and request that staff prepare a resolution declaring terms of the same. 3. Request Additional Information and Table Action. The Applicant appears to have provided enough information for the City Council to approve or deny the request.

We are the owners immediately to the south of 3204 Townview Avenue, and it is our property line against which the above variance is being requested. We are against the granting of the variance due to the fact that the proposed deck would materially diminish the privacy of our property. What the applicants' proposal neglects to consider is the natural downhill slope of the two lots from North to South. See the below picture of the view from the back of our house to the applicants' house. Combined with the recently extended depth of the applicants' house — already significantly greater than most of the rest of the houses on their block —the position of a raised deck would give the applicants an unsettling view directly into our bedroom (and home office and living room). This is, of course, undesirable for us and would most likely force us to seek relief by putting up a fence on the property line in order to restore our privacy, something we would find burdensome to do. Thank you for your consideration. 28 r. 3204 Townview Avenue Variance Request City Council Meeti 111Iv 11 2017 . ain thoiry i a (% iew Feral MInformation Applicants: Owners: Location: Existing Land Use / Zoning: Viktor & Katherine Adamcsek same 3204 Townview Avenue Low Density Residential R -1 Single Family Residential Surrounding Land Use/ Zoning: A North: Low Density Residential / Zoned R -1- Single Family Residential East: Low Density Residential / Zoned R -1- Single Family Residential South: Low Density Residential / Zoned R -1- Single Family Residential West: Low Density Residential / Zoned R -1- Single Family Residential Via hou (% WSB 29 nview Avenue • R -1 Z � ' t o D t ning is nc -E A "Short" lot compared to almost every other lot on the block VNI, TIP . *1a o�ryh(J own= w Avenue • Overview wse — Rear yard setback in the R -1 District is 25 feet, or 20% of lot length, whichever is more. — Lot is 119 feet, so in this case the 25 -foot setback prevails. — Proposal to construct a 14' x 14' deck off the rear portion of the home. — Request for an 8 -foot rear yard setback variance (proposed deck is 17 feet from rear property line) ain tho�ry wse Lot line of neighboring — - properties ain ""0 I a C% Actual lot line of this property ONa Review • Subject matter of the application is within the scope of this section; — Criterion met • The property owner purposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by the zoning code; — Criterion met • The plight of the property owner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the property owner; — Criterion met ain thong I a CJ AB "B KM 31 WOMMerial Review • The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality; — Criterion met • Economic considerations alone are not the basis of practical difficulties; — Criterion met • The variance, if granted, would be consistent with the City's comprehensive land use plan; — Criterion met • The granting of the variance is in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the zoning code; — Criterion met ain tho�ry a (% lSB -u Ave • Recommendation — The Planning Commission met on June 24, 2017 and unanimously recommended approval of the requested variance at 3204 Townview Avenue, on the basis that the request passes the practical difficulties test and meets all of the eligibility criteria for variance approval. — The plight of the landowner and the need for a variance can be attributed to the unique short length of the lot in question, and but for the unique shape of the lot, the applicants would not require a variance.
