Ordinance 2017-03 an ordinance Approving the Comcast Cable Television Franchise 45 46 Mayor Faust opened the public hearing at 7:02 p.m. 47 48 City Council Regular Meeting Minutes September 26, 2017 Page 2 Councilmember Gray introduced the ordinance for Comcast Cable Television Franchise. 1 Council is requested to approve the first of three readings of an ordinance to adopt the renewal of 2 the Comcast cable television franchise. A memorandum from Mike Bradley, Attorney for the 3 North Suburban Cable Commission (NSCC) was provided for Council review summarizing the 4 Franchise Renewal. The second reading will be on October 10, 2017 and the third and final 5 reading will be on October 24, 2017. Following the adoption of the ordinance, the ordinance 6 goes into effect upon publication in the St. Anthony Bulletin. Councilmember Gray serves as the 7 liaison to the North Suburban Cable Commission and North Suburban Access Corporation. For 8 the past four years this agreement has been worked on. Before Council is a very favorable 9 franchise agreement. He reviewed some of the highlights of the agreement. The agreement has 10 a ten-year term. There will still be a 5% franchise fee paid to each City in the NSCC (9 cities). 11 That may be at risk as in many states there is a State Franchise Agreement or it may be 12 eliminated completely by the FCC. The franchise fee is for the right-of-way. The current PEG 13 funding continues until the end of the year. After 2018 the PEG funding is cut 40% by the new 14 franchise agreement. PEG fees are on each subscriber’s bill. This is for Public, Educational and 15 Government programming. With these cuts the way CTV is run will need to be changed. 16 Councilmember Gray stated a budget is being done for next year currently. The Executive 17 Director intends to retire at some point so a new Director will be needed. A point of concern is 18 the number of people going to the internet to get their information. A consultant will be assisting 19 the Commission in looking at the future of the NSCC. The old franchise agreement included 20 universal service. This has been eliminated in the new franchise agreement. 21 22 Councilmember Stille thanked Councilmember Gray for serving on the Commission and 23 clarified the use of “we” refers to the North Suburban Cable Commission. He asked how this 24 content can be delivered to the public in the best way. Councilmember Gray stated this is a good 25 deal compared to what other States are paying across the nation. 26 27 Mayor Faust pointed out this is a user fee and no funds come out of taxpayer dollars. It is paid by 28 the subscribers to Comcast and CenturyLink. The City is not at risk for any liability or funding. 29 30 Mayor Faust closed the public hearing at 7:12 p.m. 31 32 Motion by Councilmember Stille, seconded by Councilmember Jenson, to approve First Reading 33 of Ordinance 2017-03; an Ordinance Approving the Comcast Cable Television Franchise. 34 35 Motion carried 4-0. 36 37 V. REPORTS FROM COMMISSION AND STAFF - NONE 38 39 VI. GENERAL BUSINESS OF COUNCIL. 40 41 A. Fire Prevention Presentation 42 43 Fire Department Representatives Chief Mark Sitarz and Firefighter Mattie Jaros provided the 44 Fire Prevention Presentation to Council. The Department provides education to all residents. The 45 Open Houses over the last few years has been a great success thanks to Mattie Jaros. Ms. Jaros 46 City Council Regular Meeting Minutes September 26, 2017 Page 3 stated this year’s Fire Prevention Week is October 8-14, 2017. The Fire Department Open House 1 will be held Saturday, October 7 from 1-4 p.m. This is a free event open to all ages. Some 2 photographs were shown of last year’s Open House. The Village Big Rigs will also be present. 3 She reviewed the Home Safety Surveys Program and residents are invited to call the Fire 4 Department to schedule their survey. 5 6 VII. REPORTS FROM CITY MANAGER AND COUNCIL MEMBERS. 7 8 City Manager Casey provided updates on some projects. The 37th Avenue sidewalk between 9 Highcrest and Stinson is substantially completed with just a few punch list items remaining. 10 Signal work being done includes ped ramps which are ADA compliant and countdown timers. 11 The 2017 street project is substantially completed with just a few punch list items and some 12 landscaping left to be completed. Weekly updates were sent to residents on the projects. The 13 final wear course will be going on Stinson next week. This project is substantially done and the 14 landscaping will be done next year. Mirror Lake is being drained to be able to continue work on 15 the project. 16 17 Councilmember Stille reported on September 22, he attended a reception for Fin Fest and 18 presented the proclamation from the City Council. The Sister City organization is always looking 19 for members. He attended the Planning Commission Meeting on September 25. There was a 20 comp plan meeting prior to the Planning Commission Meeting. 21 22 Councilmember Gray had nothing to report. 23 24 Councilmember Jenson attended the comp plan meeting last night as a replacement for former 25 Councilmember Brever. 26 27 Mayor Faust stated on September 21, he attended a focus group at the League of Minnesota 28 Cities office to review issues and items regarding last year’s conference and next year’s 29 conference. 30 31 Mayor Faust noted a comprehensive plan amendment was to come before Council but the 32 Applicant has requested to come before Council on October 10. He added he would not support a 33 comp plan amendment that would increase density to 48 units per acre. Mayor Faust hopes the 34 amendment has a significant reduction in density. 35 36 Councilmember Gray stated one good thing about these meetings is that it gives the public an 37 opportunity to address Council during Community Forum, noting not every City has this option. 38 The Council does not normally respond to those addressing Council. Councilmember Gray stated 39 he watched the meeting when he was absent and wanted to note the City has not lost power in 40 this process. One of the things that has been brought up a couple of times is that the City didn’t 41 lift a finger to help the residents of Lowry Grove even though it says so in the comp plan. He 42 noted the comp plan does not say we were going to assist the residents of Lowry Grove, it says 43 we will ensure they are taken care of per State law. This will be a long process which he does 44 not think will end on October 10 as there are many things still up in the air. He stated the Council 45 has not met with the developer behind closed doors. 46 City Council Regular Meeting Minutes September 26, 2017 Page 4 1 Councilmember Stille elaborated regarding Council’s stance on this and legal counsel advised 2 Council on what should be done and how it should be handled. He noted residents are concerned 3 about tax increment financing (TIF), which is not discussed until after the project is approved. 4 There has been no discussion about TIF as there is nothing to talk about at this time. 5 6 Councilmember Jenson stated on August 28, he attended the Planning Commission Meeting 7 where the development was proposed. It was not compliant to the comp plan. He read excerpts 8 from the comp plan. 9 10 Mayor Faust stated the Council/City is not here to design their project for them. They are to 11 present something for Council consideration as it is presented and whether or not it should go 12 forward. 13 14 VIII. COMMUNITY FORUM. 15 16 Ms. Ginny Lahti, 2601 Kenzie Terrace, stated she is in favor of the redevelopment but opposed 17 to the size and scope of the project. She believed that 832 units is too high density for this area 18 and would like to see a number closer to 425 and building heights of 3-4 stories. She would like 19 to see a map of the topography. She commented on Building C and would like to see that 20 building lower with a smaller footprint. She would also like a larger setback for that building. 21 22 Ms. Joanne Youngren, 2601 Kenzie Terrace, thanked the Council for explaining things to them 23 as they did. She asked about the original “plan” of assisted living, noting now they are called 24 Senior Buildings and asked what that meant. There is an assisted living building right across the 25 street that is not filled. 26 27 Mr. Jesse Piktunia, 2616 27th Avenue, thanked Council for their comments on the Lowry Grove 28 redevelopment. He stated he has a lot of concerns about the project, noting if the site is rezoned, 29 the bottom of the density range would be desired. He does not believe the project will put less 30 demand on schools and thinks stakeholders outside of St. Anthony have no risk yet the City’s 31 residents will need to deal with increased traffic and the need for new schools. He is concerned 32 about storm water, public safety, traffic, etc., and thinks these issues need to be addressed before 33 any project can move forward. 34 35 Ms. Christine Lizdas, 3013 Townview Avenue, stated she was before Council a year ago to 36 discuss racial bias. She feels the CRIT program was not a good response to the killing of 37 Philando Castille and that an assessment of community policing practices was not a good choice. 38 She stated she researched this, talking to everyone she could about the work, and now 39 understands how the program can repair relations between the police and the community. Ms. 40 Lizdas stated the CRIT program has been discontinued and requested the Council bring the table 41 for continued discussions back. 42 43 Mayor Faust read his statement again concerning The Village LLC proposal. 44 45 City Council Regular Meeting Minutes September 26, 2017 Page 5 Mr. Thomas Issacson, 2604 Pahl Avenue, stated he attended the Planning Commission Meeting 1 and the City Planner stated there would not be a new plan presented on October 3, 2017. City 2 Manager Casey stated there will not be a new staff report. For the October 10 meeting, Council 3 will be presented with the proposal that came before the Planning Commission, the Staff Report 4 that was presented, and any new materials provided by the Applicant. This will be available 5 October 3 and placed on the website as soon as practical. 6 7 Mayor Faust stated there was a variance for a deck and it would be possible for the Applicant to 8 revise their plans before coming before Council. 9 10 Mr. Issacson asked for the public to have an opportunity to voice their comments on the “new” 11 proposal on October 10, 2017. 12 13 Mayor Faust encouraged residents to sign up for the push notifications regarding the project. 14 15 IX. INFORMATION AND ANNOUNCEMENTS. 16 17 There will be a Tech Dump on October 7 at City Hall from 9 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. 18 19 X.

The applicant is requesting a variance to construct a deck that would project 17.5 feet into the required rear yard setback to result in a rear yard depth of 7.5 feet. The Applicant’s request for a variance from the rear yard setback to allow for the construction the deck addition is not reasonable, per the findings listed in city code. Therefore, staff recommends denial of the variance to encroach into the rear yard setback. The Planning Commission met on September 25, 2017 held a public hearing (no one spoke, except the applicant) and recommended denial unaminously, based on the findings enclosed in the packet. GENERAL INFORMATION Applicant/Owner: David and Mary Friend Location: 3113 Edward St. NE Existing Land Use / Low Density Residential/zoned: R-1; Single Family Residential Zoning: Surrounding Land North: Low Density Residential / Zoned R-1 - Single Family Residential Use / Zoning: 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 Deadline for Agency Application Date: 9-5-2017 Action: 60 Days: 11-5-2017 Letter Sent: No 120 Days: NA CONSIDERATIONS RELATING TO THE PROPOSED VARIANCE October 10, 2017 Page 2 1. Background The Applicant proposes to construct a deck from the back of the house on the property located at 3113 Edward Street NE. This is a new home, built in 2015, after the original home was torn down. According to the submitted plans, the applicant is requesting to construct a two level deck that is approximately 16’ x 18’ to lead up to a 6’ deck/stoop from the existing house. This deck design would put the outermost edge of the deck 7.5 feet from the rear property line. In the R-1 Single Family Residential district, a 25’ setback from the rear property line is required. The applicant is proposing that the required setback that a deck with only 6.5’ of depth from the home would be compliant with the zoning code, but not useable. Therefore, they need the variance to add more space to make the deck planned as proposed to be more functional. 2. Applicable Codes. Title XV Land Usage, Chapter 152 Zoning Code, Sections §152.035 through 152.039 R-1 Single-Family District apply to this proposal. Section 150.039 (G) requires a rear yard setback of 20% of the depth of the entire lot or 25 feet. The applicant requests a variance to encroach 17.5 feet to result in a rear yard depth of 7.5 feet. Title XV Land Usage, Chapter 152 Zoning Code, Section §152.245 VARIANCES (A) Application states that “An owner of property with an existing structure which does not comply with the zoning code, or of property on which such a structure is proposed to be constructed, may apply for a variance upon payment of the fee specified in Chapter 33”. 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. The applicable criteria include: 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 eligible subject matter for variance criteria because these factors are related to dimensional and/or bulk standards. 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 property owners propose to use the property in a way that is reasonable. However, the proposed deck does not change the property owners reasonable use of their property without a deck of this construction, a patio constructed at grade does not require the variance process. Criterion not 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 due to the placement, construction proposed, and overall square footage of the proposed deck design. The lot is platted and home placement on the lot is relative to others in the general area. Criterion not met. c. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality; and Granting of this variance would not alter the essential character of the neighborhood. Applicants are not proposing any new use or density, decks do exist in the neighborhood. Criterion met. d. Economic considerations alone are not the basis of the practical difficulties. October 10, 2017 Page 3 The basis for the practical difficulties is that the resale of the home without a variance to grant the proposed deck addition would make the house less appealing to potential buyers. The addition to the deck is based on the desire of the Applicants to use their backyard in a different manner. It is that type of construction and the space that is designed that creates the practical difficulty. Criterion not 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, single-family residential. The comprehensive plan guides this area for single-family use and the expansion of the deck will not alter that land use. However, this is a larger deck than can be found in the adjoining properties and neighborhood. Therefore, granting of the variance would not be consistent with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. Criterion not 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. Given these factors, this application is not in keeping with the intent of the ordinance to prevent overcrowding of land and undue concentration of structures and provide adequate access to light and air. Other properties in this location would not be able to construct a deck this close to the property line, nor are there decks this close to the property line on other properties. Criterion not met. POSSIBLE ACTIONS 1. Motion to adopt a resolution denying the variance, based on the findings listed therein. 2. Motion to approve (with or without conditions) the variance and direct staff to prepare a resolution which approves the variance. 3. Request Additional Information and Continue the Public Hearing. The Applicant appears to have provided enough information for the City Council to approve or deny the request.

GENERAL INFORMATION Applicant/Owner: Apache Redevelopment, LLC/Len Pratt Location: 3725 Stinson Boulevard and 3701 Stinson Boulevard Existing Land Use / High Density Residential/Planned Unit Development Zoning Guidance: Surrounding Land North: Commercial Use / Zoning: East: High Density Residential South: Commercial (Unofficial) West: High Density Residential Deadline for Agency Application Date: 9/18/2017 Action: 60 Days: 11/17/2017 Letter Sent: No 120 Days: NA October 10, 2017 3725/3701 Stinson Blvd Minor Subdivision Page 2 CONSIDERATIONS RELATING TO THE PROPOSED MINOR SUBDIVISION AND PARCEL TRANSFER 1. Background The applicant is requesting to purchase the south 70 feet of the adjacent property at 3701 Stinson Boulevard and combine the lot with his existing lot 3725 Stinson Boulevard. The applicant, Len Pratt, is intending to combine these lots through the minor subdivision for the purposes of development. The development proposal will come forward as a separate application process. This application is to prepare the land for sale and financing. The applicant is purchasing the 70 feet from the owner of the 3701 Stinson property, who owns two parcels immediately adjacent to each other. The southernmost parcel is occupied by the Unofficial. The conditional use permit approved for the Unofficial is unaffected by this action. All parking areas, and a 10 foot buffer between the parking areas and the lot line will be maintained. The current property at 3725 Stinson and the property immediately south are vacant and undeveloped. 2. Applicable Codes. Section 151 Subdivision Regulations, Section 152.08 “Subdivision Without Platting is the applicable section of city code related to this application. This section states: “The City Council may waive compliance with the platting requirements of this subchapter and approve subdivision by conveyance of land by adoption of a resolution to that effect based upon findings by the City Council that: compliance with the platting requirements would create an unnecessary hardship or expense because of the nature of the subdivision, and failure to require the filing of a plat does not interfere with the purposes of this subchapter. The City Council may consider the number of parcels resulting from the subdivision, the complexity of the legal descriptions, the necessity for dedication of streets or drainage and utility casements, and the probability of future subdivision of the parcels.” 3. Staff Recommendation A lot line adjustment is considered a minor subdivision request. Staff supports the City Council’s prerogative to waive compliance with the full subdivision criteria and use their discretion to make a final decision regarding this lot line adjustment request. There is a rational basis for the request, in that the seller is not currently using the property for any purpose. Combined with 3725 Stinson Boulevard, it allows for a more reasonable reuse and redevelopment of both properties. Any reuse or redevelopment will be reviewed as a separate process. Staff has reviewed the proposed minor subidivision requested, and recommends approval of the applications, subject on the following conditions: 1) Satisfactory submittal of evidence to provide proof of clear title (and resolution of any outstanding title issues); 2) City Attorney review and resolution of any other outstanding legal issues associated with recording of the lot line adjustment and parcel transfer.

Motion to adopt a resolution approving (with or without conditions) the request for the requested minor subdivision and transfer parcel to the property between 3725 and 3701 Stinson Boulevard and adopt the resolution found in Exhibit C. 2. Motion to adopt a resolution denying (with or without conditions) the application. In the event of a denial (with or without conditions), the City Council must state its findings and any conditions related to denial. 3. Request Additional Information and table the item. The Applicant appears to have provided enough information for the City Council to take an action on the request. Should the City Council request additional information from the Applicant, the City Council should table the item until a later time.

A Planned Unit Development (PUD) preliminary development plan review is also requested, in accordance with the rezoning request. • Preliminary Plat review for their re-development plan for 2401 and 2501 Lowry Avenue; a preliminary plat submission must include certain required elements to be considered for complete review. Each of the components of the applicant’s land use request was accompanied by a separate narrative written by the applicant, and included as attachments. 6 August 28, 2017 Page 3 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN GUIDANCE The Comprehensive Plan’s Land Use Plan discusses the following items related to the sites at 2401 and 2501 Lowry Avenue: • It guides the 2401 Lowry Avenue (Bremer Bank) site for Commercial and the 2501 Lowry Avenue site for High Density Residential. It acknowledges that mobile home housing on the former Lowry Grove site was aging and states intent for a long-term redevelopment plan for higher-intensity use of the site. • It states that any changes in land use would be initiated by the landowner, not proactively by the City. • It states that any change in land use would require proper notification and provision for re- location under state statute. • It states the importance of provision of affordable housing in this area to the community. • It outlines a general vision, should the property re-develop, that includes a mix of multi- family housing (“townhomes and condominium apartments”) • It discusses the need for better pedestrian improvements and streetscape on Kenzie Terrace. • The density range for High Density Residential is specified as a minimum of 25-40 dwelling units per acre. ZONING GUIDANCE The 2401 Lowry Ave site is currently zoned C – Commercial, which is a zoning district that allows generally for retail sales and service uses. The 2501 Lowry Ave site is currently zoned R-1 – Single Family, which is a zoning district that allows for detached single family uses. The applicant is requesting to rezone both sites to Planned Unit Development (PUD). The intent of a PUD zoning designation is “to create a more flexible, creative, and efficient approach to the use of land”, and may include a greater use variety and dimensional flexibility than the underlying zoning district(s) would allow. City Code section §152.203 (“ALLOWED USES”) stipulates that a PUD development plan may deviate from the area’s underlying zoning and allowed uses, and that the uses defined in the final PUD agreement take precedence: “Uses within a PUD may include only those uses generally considered associated with the general land use category shown for the area on the official Comprehensive Land Use Plan. However, in some unique situations, the PUD may allow the approval of use or uses that are not listed as either permitted or conditional uses in any underlying zoning district. The specific allowed uses and performance standards for each PUD shall be delineated in an ordinance and development plan. The PUD development plan shall identify all the proposed land uses, which shall become permitted uses if the final development plan is approved.” PRELIMINARY PUD DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 7 August 28, 2017 Page 4 Staff deemed the preliminary plat submission complete after reviewing the submitted elements against the required information listed in §151.02. The following summarizes the proposal for each element of the preliminary plat and preliminary PUD site plan. Housing Types and Massing/Height: The preliminary plat and PUD preliminary development submittal proposes a residential redevelopment that includes several housing types, styles, and ownership models. The table below summarizes the housing types and massing for each segment of the proposed development. Site Element Housing Type Total Units Height Building A Senior housing 130 55’ (5 stories) Building B Market-rate 171 55’ (5 stories) Building C Senior housing 170 66’ (6 stories) Building D Market-rate 220 66’ (6 stories) Building E Affordable 110 66’ (6 stories) Townhomes For sale attached housing 32 1-2 story Total Units Proposed: 833 housing units Overall Site Density: 47.7 units per acre Buildings A and B, both proposed at five stories in height, are set back behind the townhomes located along Stinson Boulevard. Buildings C, D and E, each proposed to have six stories, front Kenzie Terrace. Buildings A and C are proposed to be managed and operated by Ebenezer, a senior home community. Buildings B and D are proposed to be constructed and operated by Continental Property Group, and Building E is proposed to be constructed and operated by Aeon, an affordable housing developer. The townhome element will be sold to a townhome developer/builder. Traffic, Streets and Access: The development plan proposes two main access points, one from Stinson Boulevard and one from Kenzie Terrace. Building E would also retain its existing access drives off of Stinson and Kenzie, but there are no proposed internal roadway connections between Building E and the remainder of the site. Roads A, B, C and D are included on the preliminary plat as Outlot A and are proposed as private roadways. A traffic study was completed as a part of the Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) review, and detailed recommendations were included in that report. The traffic study includes a recent additional memo to include and evaluate existing and proposed volumes on Stinson Parkway and Lowry Avenue. Parking: There are 1,122 total parking stalls proposed for this development. The table below summarizes the parking type, stalls and area associated with each segment of the proposed development. Site Element Enclosed Parking Stalls Surface Parking Stalls Parking Area (SF) Stalls per unit 8 August 28, 2017 Page 5 Landscaping: The plan provides a suggestion of the development’s landscaping concept through the Site Plan exhibit. However, the application does not include a separate landscaping exhibit and the elevation renderings do not provide landscaping detail. The site plan indicates boulevard tree plantings along the roadways surrounding Blocks 3 and 4 and the park plaza. Streetscape/Urban Design: The site plan and preliminary plat shows street design, sidewalks and trails incorporated into the project design. Setbacks shown on the site plan are 20 feet along most site boundaries (30 feet along Kenzie Terrace), while internal setbacks are zero feet. The applicant has also provided a narrative description of some of the design elements of the project including overall configuration of the parks and green space elements within the site design, height and density of the buildings, and integration of the site into the existing surrounding area and land use. Trails/Sidewalks: The preliminary plat shows 6-foot sidewalks integrated into the site design along all internal roads, as well as a sidewalk trail connecting Road A and Road B through the park plaza. While there is an existing sidewalk along both Stinson Blvd and Kenzie Terrace integrated into the project design, there are no proposed enhancements to existing sidewalks nor internal sidewalk connections proposed to connect Building E with the remainder of the site. Public Spaces/Parks: The preliminary site plan includes the following park and public space elements. These are proposed to be open to the public, but privately maintained and programmed. • Park/Plaza (Lot 2 Block 2): This 1.4-acre area is dedicated park space that includes a stormwater pond, a fountain feature, and a plaza. Site plan renderings show opportunity for additional park features to be incorporated into the park design. • Building plazas/open space: Buildings A, B, C and D each incorporate a plaza or courtyard area into their design. Environmental Assessment Worksheet: A full report was completed for the analysis of the environmental impacts, including infrastructure impacts, contamination, traffic, and permitting required. Detailed information was analyzed, and this report is available on the city’s website, or at city hall. Building A 130 (underground) -- 47,000 1 Building B 222 (underground) -- 80,000 1.3 Building C 222 (underground) -- 80,000 1.3 Building D 285 (underground) -- 103,000 1.3 Building E 65 (underground) 72 (parking lot) 42,000 1.4 Townhomes 64 (garage) 64,000 2 Guest Parking -- 62 (on-street) Not given -- TOTAL 958 stalls 134 stalls 9 August 28, 2017 Page 6 Environmental (Contamination): There is contamination on the site from the apparent spreading of oil on dirt roads for dust control (historically), the location of a dry cleaner on the Bremer site, and the siting of underground petroleum tanks (historical). The appropriate Response Action Plan has been submitted and approved by appropriate agencies. The developer is intending to remediate all environmental contamination on the site as a part of redevelopment. The EAW completed for this site has listed the detailed permits and information related to this clean up effort. Grading: A grading plan has been submitted that appears to involve significant grading and changes to the grade on the site. It appears that most, if not all trees, will be removed as part of the grading. Stormwater Management: A stormwater management collection and treatment system is proposed through a system of curbing, catch basins, underground conveyance, ponding, and bio-retention. This includes traditional at grade ponds and below grade bio-filtration systems. Utilities: Public sanitary sewer and watermain extensions and hydrants are proposed as part of this development. The infrastructure is proposed under private streets, with public easements over them. Phasing: The staging plan depiction is shown below. The staging plan indicates the sequence of site development and indicates a total buildout time frame of 5 to 7 years. Building D, the roads, the utilities, the park, and the stormwater retention pond are all incorporated into the first stage of development. This will be followed by the construction of building A. Next staged are the townhomes, followed by Building C and then Building B. Building E is currently listed as “TBD” in the phasing plan. Aeon has indicated that they anticipate a 2019 construction season, depending on award of tax credits and other required funding sources. Park Dedication Fees: Park dedication is required on all new subdivisions in St. Anthony. The amount of land (or cash in-lieu) will be determined at the time of final plat. All park dedication requests will need to be reviewed by the Park Commission. More details will be needed to determine appropriate park dedication obligation and credit. 10 August 28, 2017 Page 7 Development Agreements/Contracts: A series of development agreements and contracts will be required for this project. These legal documents will be drafted and prepared at appropriate times during the final plat/final development plan stage. Other Agency Requirements: In addition to city code requirements for the review and consideration of a Planned Unit Development preliminary development plan, re-zoning and subdivision application, this re-development is subject to many other jurisdictional requirements including the following: State Rules Governing Completion of an Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW). Due to its size (over 375 attached units), State Rule 4410 requires preparation of an EAW to evaluate and identify existing environmental conditions and identify the impacts of this proposed development with regard to land use, soils, fish/wildlife, historical property, water resources, sewer, water, and transportation infrastructure and any potential noise, odor, light, or visual impacts. This document has been completed and several recommendations listed in this staff report are a result of this study. Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. As part of the developer’s purchase of the property, Phase I and Phase II Environment Assessments were completed and identified several sources of contamination on the property, which will need to be properly handled and remediated through the process established by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. Additionally, sanitary extension and construction permits will also be needed. Copies of all required permits will be required to be submitted prior to final approval of the development. Hennepin County Transportation. Kenzie Terrace is a County Road and coordination with their plans and needs regarding changes or upgrades to Kenzie Terrace is required. Copies of all access permits will be required to be submitted to the city prior to final approval of the development. Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board. MPRB has submitted comments regarding the proposed development, outlining the process and permits required. The land under which Stinson Parkway is built is considered MPRB parkland, not right-of-way. Therefore, special review and provision must be made for any upgrades or impacts to Stinson Parkway, given its designation as parkland and the MPRB jurisdiction. Copies of all required Park Board permits will be required to be submitted prior to final approval of the development. Mississippi Watershed Management Organization. This development will be subject to the rules of the MWMO and the city regarding pollutant loading reduction, discharge rates and volumes, and flood elevations. The city is the permitting agency for the MWMO. COMMUNITY INPUT TO DATE There has been much interest in this proposal, starting last year and continuing to-date. Staff has received almost 100 emails since the sketch plan phase, and has included them as an attachment. Additionally, staff has spoken with many residents and concerned neighbors and has summarized the concerns as follows: 11 August 28, 2017 Page 8 • Concerns over the density and height of the proposal. The most common concern is the opinion that the comprehensive plan should not be amended to accommodate this development and that heights should be consistent with those around the site. • Concerns over the loss of affordable housing. People have expressed the need to retain/replace affordable housing on the site. • Concerns over traffic and safety. People have stated the increase in traffic on Stinson Parkway will reduce livability and increase congestion at key intersections. • Concerns regarding views for existing Kensington Terrace residents. People have expressed concern over the reduction in views from their units. • Concerns over tree removal. • Concerns over school capacity and other public services. • Concerns over the handling and treatment of stormwater runoff. While there have been other concerns expressed, and also support expressed for the project, the overwhelming majority have stated the above concerns. ANALYSIS Comprehensive Plan Amendments Requests The City must follow statutory requirements and ensure conformity within the comprehensive plan when amending its comprehensive plan, which serves as the foundation for land use policy. Section 152.002 establishes the purpose and intent of the city of St. Anthony’s zoning code. Therefore, Staff has evaluated the request for the comprehensive plan amendments using the standards set forth in Section 152.002: A. Does the comprehensive plan amendment to increase the maximum allowable density from 40 to 48 units per acre achieve the following findings? (1) The use districts are protected. Yes, use districts are not affected by this comprehensive plan amendment request. (2) Orderly development and redevelopment is promoted. The increase in density requested does not promote orderly development since it is inconsistent with surrounding densities and inconsistent in density and scale with past re-development. Recent development in the city has been approved at 38 units per acre and 4 stories in height. (3) The proposal provides adequate light, air, and access to property. No, the proposed density does not allow adequate access within the site due to the location and placement of several, large retaining walls. The internal road and trail network does not allow for adequate access around all buildings. (4) Prevent congestion in the public streets. No, allowing an additional increase in density will not prevent congestion on public streets. While an increase in traffic is expected, and the traffic study calls for the completion of required improvements associated with the traffic study, an increase in density will not improve the current or proposed traffic situation. (5) Prevent overcrowding of land and undue concentration of structures by regulating land, buildings, yards, and densities; The proposed density of the development exceeds what the site 12 August 28, 2017 Page 9 can reasonably accommodate, given the surface water and grade challenges on the site. The site would be better configured if the density was a max of 40 units per acre; (6) Provide for compatibility of different land uses. The proposal provides for a variety of residential land uses on the site. B. Does the comprehensive plan amendment to change the land use at 2401 Lowry Avenue from commercial to high density residential achieve the following findings? (1) Protect the use districts. The proposed land use is high density residential, which is a change from the commercial designation. (2) Promote orderly development and redevelopment. In staff’s review of the proposal, a change to land use from commercial to high density residential does promote orderly development since a commercial use of the parcel on the corner would be isolated from most nearby commercial. (3) Provide adequate light, air, and access to property. The land use change does not affect the provision of adequate light, air, and access. The proposed access to the site will need to be evaluated and commented on as part of the overall PUD request. Generally, high density residential uses generate less traffic than commercial uses. (4) Prevent congestion in the public streets. The land use change proposed does not prevent, or substantially affect, congestion in the street. (5) Prevent overcrowding of land and undue concentration of structures by regulating land, buildings, yards, and densities. The land use change proposed does increase the overall density on the site, but generally, high density residential is considered less intense than a full utilization of the site as a commercial use. (6) Provide for compatibility of different land uses. The proposed land use change provides for better compatibility with the rest of the development, which is proposed as high density residential. The integration of the site will be addressed as part of the PUD review. Staff has completed a thorough review of the Preliminary PUD Development Plan and Preliminary Plat proposal and has the following comments and requested changes:  Full streetscape exhibit. Currently the site plan is lacking in detail about the design and plan for the streetscape for the project. The look and feel of the streetscape is a critical feature for a site of this scale. Staff requests the submission of a full and separate streetscape exhibit that includes more detail regarding dimensions of sidewalks and trails, curbs, parking bump-outs, driveways, public infrastructure in streetscape (hydrants, utility boxes, etc), and boulevards and boulevard landscaping. This includes the area along the alleyway on the north side as well as on all public and private streets. Specifically, the following additions/considerations are requested: 13 August 28, 2017 Page 10  A trail plan is requested that connects all of the building areas together.  Many retaining walls are proposed. The site needs to be re-evaluated to reduce the number of retaining walls, especially in areas critical to urban design (along Kenzie Terrace and along private streets; between Building E and Building C; and in the northeast corner of the site. This also relates to the grading and drainage plan, and stormwater management plan.  Boulevard trees and sidewalks are requested on each of the streets.  The removal of all existing encroachments into Stinson Parkway.  The addition of street lights along Stinson Parkway, in coordination with the Park Board on number and spacing.  Landscaping Plan. Staff is requesting submittal of a landscape plan that details the location and programming for greenspace (particularly over the areas labeled “biofiltration basin.”) All areas in the development need intentional landscaping and programming. More information is required regarding the green spaces indicated interior to Building B. All areas not proposed as greenspace (driveways in alley, Building B interior, biofiltration areas, patio on Building D) should be removed as “green” from the site plan. An effort should be made to indicate the preservation of trees, where possible.  Details regarding building plans. Staff is requesting more detail about the proposed style(s) of the townhomes, and confirmation that there are no driveways proposed for the townhomes on Stinson Parkway and details regarding the off-street parking for these units (distance from garage door to curb along Road C). Additionally, there seem to be measurement discrepancies shown on the site plan for the lengths of the north side driveways as well as driveway access. Staff requests that the Applicant examine the accuracy of these measurements and submit revised plans showing details of access along the alley, including location, grades, and building elevation views of the north side of those townhomes. Staff is also requesting all four building elevations for each building and labeled for ease in reading/evaluating. Urban design and the interaction of the building with the street, walkways, and views from surrounding properties needs to be evaluated. The proposed number of 1, 2, and 3 bedroom apartments proposed should also be indicated, by building.  Details on Parking. Staff is requesting more information on the details on the parking garages proposed is missing (underground, at-grade, or above grade, and proposed lowest floor elevations of underground garages). Also, more information is requested regarding guest parking (how many numbers of underground and at grade guest parking), handicap parking stalls (how many and location). Since the number of 14 August 28, 2017 Page 11 proposed stalls is well below the city code requirement of 2 stalls per unit, staff is requesting information regarding best practices for the provision of parking at other recent development sites in the vicinity and more data to support allowing a reduction in the parking spaces required.  Area breakdown by use. Similar to the table provided with the existing conditions exhibit, staff would like the Applicant to provide a table showing the areas associated with each proposed use of the development. This table would include the square footage associated with each type of residential (market, affordable, townhome, and senior), streets, trails and sidewalks, public use and/or open space. This should also include the estimated number of 1, 2, and 3 bedroom apartments proposed, by building.  Staging detail. Staff is requesting a more detailed estimate of the timeline associated with each stage of the development. There is an understanding that uncertainty exists with development timing; however, staff would like a better understanding of the expecting duration of each stage of development.  Revised Plans for Building E. Since a new developer is now involved, revised plans for Building E and the surrounding site are requested. As proposed, Building E (which contains the affordable housing associated with this project) is physically isolated from the remainder of the site by a large retaining wall and a bioretention area. There are no internal roadway or sidewalk connections to other site buildings or features, including the park and open space areas, and there is both a parking lot and retaining wall that act as a separation cutting off the building from the development overall. The design of this building could be better incorporated into the site plan and could be integrated into overall development in a more inclusive way with the addition of a trail. Grading changes are required to eliminate or reduce the grade change between Building B and D.  Vacation of Easement. There is currently a watermain easement through the site, which will need to be vacated through a separate action accompanying a final plat.  Engineering Comments. The full engineering staff report is available as an attachment.  There appear to be many outstanding questions and concerns with the stormwater management systems, especially as it relates to the rest of the site. Resolution of these questions and issues will require coordination with City Engineer.  An erosion control must be submitted and reviewed.  Soil borings and logs must be submitted and reviewed.  Details on the operations and maintenance of the privately held stormwater facilities will be required to be enumerated in the development agreement. 15 August 28, 2017 Page 12  Detailed requirements for transportation improvements are listed in the traffic study, and incorporated here by reference. It has been concluded that the improvements listed in the report are satisfactory, in staff’s recommendation, to meet the demands generated by this development. While there are intersections in the vicinity that currently experience congestion during peak hours, these conditions are not created by this development proposal.  Police and Fire Comments. The full comments from Police and Fire and available as an attachment. In particular, the following changes are requested:  A 20 foot clear zone around each building, free of any trees, structures, ponds, or grade changes, and reinforced with material acceptable to the engineer for the purposes of access. This is particularly important between Buildings B and D, east of C, and east of A. This can be accomplished with a paved trail in many locations. A lesser width may be allowed in certain areas, with approval of the fire chief.  Placement of a hammerhead at the eastern terminus of Outlot A/Road B. This will require re-evaluating the 114 foot long retaining wall in this location.  Hydrants added to Stinson Parkway (on private property).  Location of building entrances, and distances to nearest hydrants, and provisions for emergency vehicle parking.  Closer review of access points along Kenzie and proximity to the Lowry/Stinson intersection. Hennepin County will need to review and approved these access points.  The EAW incorporates many detailed comments and permitting requirements, all of which is incorporated by reference. STAFF RECOMMENDATION In consideration of the above items, staff recommends that the Planning Commission take the following actions: • Concerning the comprehensive plan amendment to increase the allowed density on the site from 40 to 48 units per acre -- Staff recommends denial of the comprehensive plan amendment to increase density, based on the findings enumerated in the staff report. • Concerning the comprehensive plan amendment to change 2401 Kenzie Terrace land use designation from commercial to high density residential -- Staff recommends approval of the comprehensive plan amendment, based on the findings enumerated in the staff report. • Staff recommends tabling of the preliminary PUD plan and preliminary plat until such a time that the comprehensive plan amendments are acted upon and revised plans are submitted that are consistent with the comprehensive plan, as may be amended. 16 August 28, 2017 Page 13 SUGGESTED MOTION The following actions are options for the Planning Commission to consider: 1) Motion to recommend denial of the comprehensive plan amendment to increase density for the subject property from 40 to 48 units per acre, based on the findings listed in the staff report; motion to recommend approval of the comprehensive plan amendment to change the land use on 2401 Lowry from commercial to high density residential, based on the findings listed in the staff report; and motion to table action on the preliminary PUD development plan and preliminary plat until resolution of the comprehensive plan amendment request (RECOMMENDED MOTION); 2) Motion to table action on the comprehensive plan amendments, preliminary PUD development plan, and preliminary plat, based on the submittal of additional information, as enumerated in the staff report; 3) Motion to recommend denial of the comprehensive plan amendments, preliminary PUD development plan, and preliminary plat, and direct staff to prepare a draft resolution declaring terms of the same.

Equal Opportunity Employer | wsbeng.com S:\1Planning Commission\2017\08282017\Village LLC Traffic Study Supplemental Information 081517.docx Memorandum To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Mark Casey, City Manager City of Saint Anthony Village From: Charles Rickart, PE, PTOE, Traffic Engineer WSB & Associates Inc Copy To: Breanne Rothstein, Planner & Todd Hubmer, City Engineer WSB & Associates, Inc. Date: August 15, 2017 Re: The Village LLC Traffic Study Supplemental Traffic Review WSB Project No. 2170-300 A Traffic Study was prepared for redevelopment of the existing 15-acre, 200 unit manufactured home/RV park community located in the northeast quadrant of the intersection of Kenzie Terrace (CR 153) and Stinson Parkway in the City of St Anthony. The purpose of the study was to determine the potential transportation impacts from the redevelopment of the site. The study was prepared to be included as part of the Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) process. The proposed Village LLC development is anticipated to consist of a combination of multi- family residential units (townhomes and apartments). The project is proposed to include five, 3 to 5 story multi-unit buildings with a mix of apartments, senior living, and continuing care uses consisting of approximately 800 units. In addition, the project will include approximately 37, 2- to 3-story townhome units. As part of the review process questions were raised with respect to the traffic conditions and impacts to Stinson Parkway south of Lowry Avenue/Kenzie Terrace (CR 153) and on Lowry Avenue west of Stinson Parkway. The propose of this supplemental traffic review is to address the following questions: 1. How many vehicles are there today on: Stinson Parkway south of Lowry Avenue/Kenzie Terrace and Lowry Avenue west of Stinson Parkway (ADT and peak hour)? AM and PM peak hour turning movement and daily counts were conducted during the week of October 10th, 2016 for the intersections and roadways surrounding the site including the intersection of Stinson Parkway at Lowry Avenue / Kenzie Terrace (CR 153). The traffic volumes were shown on Figure 4 and Figure 5 from the study. 201 The Village LLC Traffic Study – Supplemental Traffic Review August 15, 2017 Page 2 S:\1Planning Commission\2017\08282017\Village LLC Traffic Study Supplemental Information 081517.docx Table 1 below shows the existing traffic volumes, based on the counts completed in October of 2016. Table 1 – Traffic Volume Summary Location Existing 2016 2030 No-Build 2030 Build 2040 ADT ADT AM Peak PM Peak ADT AM Peak PM Peak ADT AM Peak PM Peak Stinson Pkwy - South of Lowry Ave /Kenzie Tr 8,000 698 1,053 8,200 716 1,078 10,250 886 1,293 11,500 Lowry Ave - West of Stinson Pkwy 7,000 793 1,117 7,150 812 1,142 7,500 833 1,168 8,100 2. How many vehicles would there be at full build (2030) of the site on: Stinson Parkway south of Lowry Avenue/Kenzie Terrace and Lowry Avenue west of Stinson Parkway (ADT and peak hour)? The 2030 no-build condition was determined by projecting the existing traffic volumes with a background growth factor of 0.15% per year based on the Metropolitan Travel Demand model projections. The 2030 full build traffic volumes were then determined by adding the proposed site traffic to the 2030 no-build volumes. The estimated trip generation from the proposed redevelopment project was based on rates for other similar land uses as documented in the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Manual, 9th Edition. Table 1 above shows the 2030 no-build and 2030 build traffic volumes. 3. How many vehicles would there be by 2040 on: Stinson Parkway south of Lowry Avenue/Kenzie Terrace and Lowry Avenue west of Stinson Parkway (ADT and peak hour)? The original Traffic Study did not evaluate the year 2040 conditions. However, the City’s Comprehensive plan update currently being prepared did provide projections to 2040. The plan has not been approved by the City or Met Council so they are still considered draft projections. Peak hour volumes have not been determined or analyzed. Table 1 shows the 2040 ADT traffic volumes from the draft modeling which has been completed. 4. Can the current roadway designs handle the additional traffic? Will it worsen congestion during peak hour? With any increase in traffic volume congestion would worsen, however an analysis needs to be completed to determine what impact it would have on the area intersections and roadway segments. 202 The Village LLC Traffic Study – Supplemental Traffic Review August 15, 2017 Page 3 S:\1Planning Commission\2017\08282017\Village LLC Traffic Study Supplemental Information 081517.docx Roadway congestion is based on the capacity of the roadway. The City’s current Comprehensive Plan update, Transportation Section, includes a table (Table 1) that indicates planning level thresholds for roadway segments. Based on this table a two-lane undivided has a threshold of 10,000 to 12,000 vehicles per day. Based on projections shown in Table 1 above, both Stinson Parkway south of Lowry Avenue/Kenzie Terrace and Lowry Avenue west of Stinson Parkway, have adequate capacity with the existing roadway sections through 2040. In addition, based on the analysis in the original Traffic Study mitigation improvements were recommended for 2018 with the proposed development and by 2030 as the area continues to develop. Specifically, at the Stinson Parkway and Lowry Avenue/Kenzie Terrace intersection these recommendations include: 2018 with Lowry Grove Development: • Lengthen the westbound left turn from Kenzie Terrace (CR 153) to southbound NE Stinson Parkway by shortening or removing the existing left turn lane from Kenzie Terrace to the Bremer Bank Building. • Lengthen the northbound left turn from NE Stinson Parkway to westbound NE Lowry Ave from 150 feet to 300 feet. 2030 with Future Area Development: • Consider a roundabout or other traffic control improvements at the intersection of Kenzie Terrace (CR 153)/NE Lowry Ave at NE Stinson Parkway. 5. Should the CR 88 at Stinson Parkway also be analyzed? During the development of the original Traffic Study it was determined based on direction from Hennepin County that the intersection of CR 88 and Stinson Parkway would not need to be included in the analysis. The primary reason was that this location is the intersection of two county roads and has been identified with operational issues with existing conditions. The increase in traffic from the proposed redevelopment will add traffic to this intersection however, the magnitude of increase compared to the existing traffic will not significantly change the overall operation of the intersection.

Plans have been prepared by Wenck Associates., dated July 17, 2017. The plan includes the storm water management plan, site plan, grading plan, sanitary sewer, water, and storm utility plans. We have the following comments and recommendations for this development plan review. General 1. Prior to the start of any construction, permits will need to be obtained and submitted to the city from the following agencies: a. MPCA Construction General Permit b. MPCA Sanitary Sewer Extension Permit c. MnDOH Watermain Extension Permit 2. An operations and maintenance component will be required to ensure that the stormwater treatment facilities will be maintained long term. The declarations must at a minimum include the following: a. Annual inspection and reporting to the city b. Maintenance of all erosion control measures including, but not limited to: rip rap, storm sewer outlets, catch basin inlets, etc. (annual documentation required) c. Verification of system drawdowns with 48 hours (annual documentation required) d. Removal of sediment, trash and debris (annual documentation required) Existing Conditions, Erosion, and Sediment Control 1. Submit erosion control plans. 2. Identify and label construction limits. 3. Identify and label benchmark elevations. 4. Submit boring report and logs. Grading Plan 1. Label top and bottom elevations of the proposed retaining walls. 205 Ms. Traci Tomas August 9, 2017 Page 2 S:\1Planning Commission\2017\08282017\MEMO - Development plan review - City Engineer.docx 2. Structural calculations for the proposed retaining walls greater than 4.0’ in height need to be submitted for review prior to construction of the walls. The submittal will need to include: a. Certification of a qualified MN licensed professional b. Soil boring logs and geotechnical recommendation for support c. Identify the type of material for the wall and design details d. Provide details of the wall construction e. Provide a safety railing or fence above the wall 3. The legend shows a floodplain boundary and a shoreland tier boundary. If those exist on the site, identify their locations. 4. Buildings A and D appear to have adjacent sidewalk elevations higher than their FFE. Document this need. 5. The slope south of Building B may require a retaining wall. 6. The northeast corner of Building A may require a retaining wall. 7. Label all steep slopes with minimums or maximums (i.e., 3:1 max). 8. Clarify the 919 contour between Pond 13P and Road B. Storm Water Management 1. Label emergency overflow locations and elevations for all BMPs (aboveground and underground systems). Add flow arrows as necessary. 2. According to the Mississippi Watershed Management Organization, any new or redevelopment requires 2’ of freeboard over the 100-year HWL or 1’ over the EOF and lowest building floor elevation. Basin 9P, Basin 10P, Pond 12P, and Pond 13P do not have a 2’ separation from the 100-year HWL. 3. The underground detention area near Stinson Parkway are not modeled. A design in HydroCAD with labeled EOF and HWL is required to ensure it will not flood downstream structures. 4. Avoid short circuiting with Basin 10P if possible, or provide explanation as to why the inlet/outlet configuration is necessary. 5. Provide detail on outlet control structures and pond sections. 6. Match HydroCAD values to plan set in final submittal. 7. Provide pretreatment structures and details for all permanent BMPs. 8.

Incorporate 40% voids for all biofiltration basin models. 15. Label pond side slopes. 16. Label NWL and HWL for all structural BMPs. 17. Provide casting and structure size information. Sanitary Sewer and Watermain 1. Label lighting fixture locations on final plan set. 2. Connection to the existing sanitary manhole to be core drilled and filled with a watertight boot. 3. MH-1 should include an outside drop. 4. The sanitary minimum velocity is 2 fps. 5. Where are the sanitary and water service connections to the building? The locations and elevations will be critical to ensure service can be met to the lower units and underground parking facilities. 6. Label the valves or cleanouts on final plan set. 7. Ensure separation distances between all utilities. 8. Hydrants shall be located to provide coverage of the building pad within a radius of 250 feet. 9. Ensure all hydrants are equipped with the proper nozzle treads per the City Standard Specifications. 10. Provide 4” thickness of insulation at watermain and storm sewer crossings where storm sewer and drainage structures provide less than 3.5 feet of cover over the watermain. 11. Verify an 8” watermain as proposed will provide adequate fire flow and pressure to serve the number of units and building elevations being proposed. 12. Watermain material – the plans call out PVC, city standard specification is ductile iron pipe with poly wrap. 13.

Todd Hubmer City Engineer 207 THIS PAGE LEFT INTENTIONALLY BLANK 208 Fire Department Review of Land Usage Lowry Grove Redevelopment Review of plans were performed by: Fire Chief – Mark Sitarz Fire Marshal – Chris Fuller In reviewing the plans we have put together a listing of our comments and concerns below. The City of St. Anthony is currently under the 2015 Minnesota State Fire Code (MSFC), based on the 2012 International Fire Code. All plans will be reviewed according to this and any reference to standards in that code. • Access Roads: Appendix D of the MSFC has been adopted by the City of St. Anthony and provides rules for access roads and turn arounds. Additional requirements are in Chapter 5. Specifically detailed is roads shall be maintained to within 600 ft. in sprinkled R occupancies. It was difficult to determine if this is being met by the site drawing. • A hammerhead style turn around will be needed in NE corner of development. One of our concerns relates to winter parking and snow accumulation in that area. • There are various sides of the structures that will require additional access roads with a 20 foot width and engineered to provide access for fire apparatus • It was unclear if there will be access to the courtyard areas. • There were various areas of concern on whether road width appears to be in compliance. • Hydrant spacing was difficult to determine from drawing. • As a reminder that hydrant placement is tied to where the FDC (fire department connections) are placed as well as building standpipes. As of now, we do not know where the FDC locations on the structures will be and those locations will need to be determined and approved by the Fire Marshal. • There were no hydrants noted on Stinson Boulevard. Those need to be added to the plan. • All buildings, as currently proposed, will be sprinkled. • Building entrances are not indicated on the drawing. Proposed building entrances are important for planning access issues, fire department connection locations, and fire lane restrictions. Garage entrance locations also need to be considered. • Considerations for the actual buildings cannot be addressed until detailed plans are submitted for the actual buildings. A plan review process will occur for all proposed buildings and will reference the codes in force when the plans are submitted. 209 • With the underground parking, radio communications may not be possible for Fire\Police and EMS. Installation of a wired communications system may be required or a “booster” of some type. We have been asked by residents as to the effect that an 833 unit development will put on our Fire\EMS services. Adding density will impact requests for service however to what degree we cannot be certain. We have noted that in past developments market rate housing does increase the demand however not to the extent that senior housing and assisted living do when it comes to EMS calls. 210 Public Safety Review Project Address: 2401 and 2501 Lowry Avenue Department: Police Department Review Completed By: Name: Police Chief Jon Mangseth Police Department Review of Proposed Development: The Village Site project, 2401 and 2501 Lowry Avenue, is forecast to be an 833 unit site comprised of a distinct affordable housing component, as well as a component that integrates market-rate, senior focused and for sale townhome elements. Concern was raised with regard to access to the development off of Stinson Boulevard and Kenzie Terrace, as well as egress from the development onto these streets. An exit/entry point off of Lowry Avenue would be very close to the intersection of Lowry Avenue and Stinson Boulevard. Vehicles leaving the development onto WB Lowry Avenue would have low risk for accident. Those leaving onto EB Lowry Avenue and Kenzie Terrace would present additional risk for vehicle, bicycle and pedestrian traffic. Vehicle exit/entry off of Stinson Boulevard would present minimal risk for area vehicle, bicycle and pedestrian traffic provided entry/egress is limited to NB traffic only. If a crossover to SB Stinson Boulevard is constructed, the risk potential would increase. It remains to be seen what influence the Minneapolis Park Board will have in regards to traffic management on Stinson Boulevard. The layout of outdoor parking at this development should be consistent with other area developments. It is recommended that the development allow for easy access for police patrol cars, fire apparatus and local ambulance services. Provisions for emergency vehicle access should allow for easy access/egress to the property. There should be continuity with regard to pedestrian and vehicle circulation within the site, which will aid in police, fire and EMS response. Building entrances should be in close proximity to pedestrian walk ways and vehicle parking areas. On street neighborhood parking on Stinson Boulevard and surrounding side streets, in St. Anthony and Minneapolis, may be impacted by a development of this size. Care should be given to future roadway design of Stinson Boulevard and Lowry Avenue/Kenzie Terrace. On street parking on Lowry Avenue should be avoided due to roadway design in that area. Due care should be taken in regard to a development of this size and existing residents as it pertains to quality of neighborhood life concerns related to traffic, parking, noise and littering complaints. The demands an 833 unit site puts on the police department can be projected in two ways. First, a performance based approach to staffing that takes into account projected call load. Second, and more common, is the average ratio of full time officers per 1,000 residents. The first, being more accurate, would be appropriate to consider. Seeing how this development will be phased in over multiple years, it will be important to do yearly monitoring of calls for service to this site when making staffing decisions. 211 THIS PAGE LEFT INTENTIONALLY BLANK 212 G F G F G F G F G F G F G F G F G F 977' 977' 948' 951' 951' 951' 938' 938' 941' 958' 944' 925' 925' 925' 925' 908' 908' 908' 908' 908' 931' 935'935'935'935' 935' 931' 928' 902' 941' 958'954' 954' 954' 951' 908' 958' 928' 921' 921' 925' 918' 921' 912' 912' 980' 976' 925' 925'991' 978' 987' 944'941'951'951'951' 951' 938' 935'941'941'941' 935'935'935'935' 938'938'938'941' 941' 941'941' 935'938' 925'925'928'928'928'928'928' 921' 921' 921' 921' 918' 918' 918' 918' 921' 921' 921' 925' 925' 925' 928' 928' 928' 953'943' 928'918' KENZ I E T E R ASH 27TH AVE N E ELM PINE GUM CEDAR OAK ST I N S O N P K W Y N E LO W R Y G R O V E LOCUST IRONWOOD HEMLOCK JUNIPER LOWRY AVE N E WI L S O N S T N E P I N E ELM 1 inch = 225 feet D o c u m e n t P a t h : K : \ 0 2 1 7 0 - 3 0 0 \ G I S \ M a p s \ L i d a r B u i l d i n g s . m x d D a t e S a v e d : 8 / 1 4 / 2 0 1 7 9 : 4 5 : 5 8 A M St. Anthony, MNElevations 0 225Feet¯ Existing Buildings G F Proposed Buildings Lidar Project Location XXX'- Base ElevationXXX'- Building ElevationXXX'- Proposed Building Elevation 213 Southern Gateway Redevelopment Project PLANNING COMMISSION PUBLIC HEARING AUGUST 28, 2017 Purpose of Tonight’s Meeting First formal step in the city land use approval process Planning Commission will: Receive the staff report Receive a presentation from the applicant Hold a public hearing regarding the proposal Receive input from the public Review all the information submitted in the application and all information presented tonight Formulate a recommendation for the City Council to consider in making a final decision (no final decisions are made at Planning Commission) Applications Submitted Developer Request for: Comprehensive Plan Amendment to increase the maximum density allowed in the High Density Residential land use district from 40 to 48 units per acre; Comprehensive Plan Amendment to change the land use designation on 2401 Lowry Avenue from Commercial to High Density Residential; Request for Preliminary Planned Unit Development (PUD) Development Plan/Re-zoning to Planned Unit Development; Request for Preliminary Plat to subdivide the property.

It was also noted that in my remarks I acknowledged the potential for property value decline as density or affordability of housing increases. I would like to take this opportunity to clarify my views on both of these issues. First, as to the issue of density, it is true that higher densities are more common in cities than they are in suburban areas, and that existing infrastructure in larger cities is, in general, better able to accommodate higher residential densities. I have no record of my exact words the evening that I spoke to members of the Council, but the notes from which I spoke contain nothing about making a flat recommendation to cap densities at 20 units per acre, nor would I ever make a broad recommendation like that. The fact is that each development site has its own characteristics and each site should be analyzed on its own for what types of densities it can bear. I know of many very successful suburban housing developments that well exceed 40 units per acre. Second, as to the potential property value impacts of density or affordable housing, I do not believe that affordable housing drives down property values. My own research and the research of others, including research done in suburban communities of the Twin Cities, show that affordable housing can have positive effects on nearby values. The impact of any development on nearby values depends on a great number of things, including what was on the site before, the site and building design of the new development, and various characteristics of the development and its surrounding area. On the basis of my experience and research I would not have said to a group of policymakers that affordable housing drives down values. But, what I do often say is that neighbors are frequently concerned that affordable housing and higher densities will drive down their property values. This is why site and building design are important, as is management of the building over time. But good site and building design, and good management are important for all land uses, not just affordable housing. I apologize for the fact that my earlier remarks to the St. Anthony Council may well have been unclear on these issues. But, I hope that this message can clarify any misunderstandings that there might have been. Sincerely, Edward G. Goetz Professor, Urban and Regional Planning Director, Center for Urban and Regional Affairs
