History -Where Are We Now?
Prohibition enacted to protect public morals
and health. Ended in 1933.
St. Anthony opened On and Off-Sale in
1948. Reasons were control and revenue.

1996 and Stonehouse in 2003.
New Silver Lake Village Store opened in
1997 connected to Tires Plus.
2 New Stores in current locations opened in
2004.
How Did We Get Here?
City Council actively participated in
significant liquor operations business
decisions.
City Council maintained a “long view”.

Privatization
Cities exit the liquor business for one of
the following reasons:
o City is shrinking, (Loss of population or
major employer).
o Politics, (Philosophical oppositions,
personal agenda).
o Poor Council oversight, (Fear, lack of
industry knowledge).
St. Anthony has not experienced this!
Emerging Issues
Condition of Municipal Liquor
Operations in Minnesota?
What does the future hold for metro
municipal stores?
How does St. Anthony compare to other
operations?
“There are opportunities everywhere.
Adapt and win or be stagnant and lose.”
The St. Anthony Village Brand
What do we do besides control and revenue?
Front line contact with residents.
“Town Hall” atmosphere for information.
Our Customers shopping experience.
Our culture and level of service.
Convenient shopping without sacrificing
quality.
National and Local Trends
Customer shopping trends and how are
we adapting?
o 68% of customers are engaged in-store which
amplifies the importance of the shopping
experience.
o Consumption is highest at home on the same
day. (Sunday Sales)
o Planned purchases prior to entering the store is
down to 34% of the shoppers.
o 37% base their store choice on convenience.
o 18% desire wide selection product selection and
specialty items.
Customers from
surrounding
communities
contribute to our
profits and
experience our St.
Anthony Village
culture and our
concierge level of
customer service!
The Value of St. Anthony Village Wine and Spirits
The Faces Engaged With The Community!
A Community Service
The City Council, Administration and
Residents have chosen to have their own
Police, Fire, Public Works and Liquor
Departments as well as our own Schools for
good reason, namely that we can guarantee
the quality of the institutions by being
independent and not outsourcing these
services. We continue to instill a culture that
represents the St. Anthony Village Brand. All
of these decisions represent the council’s
reputation of taking the long view to
determine what is best for its residents and
the future of The Village. Each and every
department of the city reflects this vision and
process in our high level of service to the
community.

Re: Proposed Council Chambers Broadcast Equipment Upgrade
Date: October 24, 2017
Overview
St. Anthony has enjoyed the powerful communication tool of live television broadcasts and rebroadcasts
of city meetings for many years. The council chambers broadcast equipment was originally installed in
1996 when the Community Center was built. While certain pieces of equipment have been replaced or
upgraded throughout the years, some components remain and is generally the same system from 1996.
The overall system has exceeded its life expectancy and is due for a major overhaul to keep current with
industry standards.
Staff was approached by CTV to discuss upgrading our equipment in conjunction with other CTV
member cities in order to possibly take advantage of group pricing on equipment. Staff has reviewed
CTV’s proposal with them in detail and a preliminary cost for equipment and installation is $80,000.00.
For reference, the original equipment and installation cost in 1996 was approximately $50,000.00.
The upgrade would also move the city’s broadcasts to a far better visual standard of High Definition,
which became commonplace among traditional networks and cable networks in the 2002 – 2003
timeframe. Staff is not proposing any significant changes to the technological capabilities in the Council
Chambers, but the upgrade would involve enhancements like larger audience monitors and a better
document camera, for example. This will make documents and images broadcasted on television and in
the chambers clearer and easier to read on screen.
Staff believes this proposed upgrade is important for supporting the city’s goal of furthering our
community engagement and communication efforts through all types of media channels, and presenting
a professional image for St. Anthony Village.

SUBJECT: 2018 UTILITY RATES
DATE: OCTOBER 16, 2017
The utility rates recommended herein for 2018 builds on the multi-year approach
towards rate adjustments that began in 2012.
Water Rates:
As part of the 2017 rate review the water expenditures were categorized by two primary
functions. These functions are the production of potable water and the distribution of
the potable water. Production costs are considered to be substantially driven by water
usage while distribution costs are relatively fixed in nature. Therefore a flat fee was
initiated in 2017 to begin funding the costs fixed in nature. This allows for the usage
rate to be re-set to cover the usage driven expenses. The transition from a singular rate
to a dual rate model was planned to be phased in over time.
The table below summarizes the 2018 budgeted water expenses assigned as either
production costs (usage driven) or distribution costs (fixed).
OPERATING DEPRECIATION OVERALL
FIXED 440,602 47% 163,984 60% 604,585 50%
USAGE 498,272 53% 111,421 40% 609,693 50%
938,874 100% 275,404 100% 1,214,278 100%
The 2017 estimated actual ratio of fixed costs to usage costs is 49% to 51%.
As part of the transition process the usage rate growth was expected to decelerate as flat
fee was phased-in. The 2017 rate review projected this phasing in of flat fees and its
impact to usage fees for 2018 and 2019. The projections assumed similar levels of water
consumption and the additional costs of operating the AOP process. Based on estimated
actual results for 2017 and updated 2018 budgeted costs the rates being proposed are
consistent with the rates previously modeled for 2018.
The recommended 2018 water rates are below:
2017 2018
Per 1000 gallons Rates Rates $ Increase
Water Tier I 3.10 3.07 -0.03
Water Tier II 3.27 3.24 -0.03
Water Tier III 3.59 3.55 -0.04
Water Tier IV 4.12 4.08 -0.04
Water Tier V 5.17 5.12 -0.05
Irrigation 4.12 4.08 -0.04
Quarterly flat fee 3.35 6.70 3.35
The above rates are expected to produce $1,044,403 in revenues assuming water
consumption similar to 2017. At this level of revenues the operating income before
depreciation is budgeted to be $109,450. While this is a 1% decrease in usage rates the
effective rate increases due to the increased quarterly flat fee. The water budget is
attached as Exhibit A.
The recommendation’s impact on 2018 Water bills are reflected below:
Lastly, the water rates were compared to the 2017 survey of Metro area city’s water
rates. The first table below reflects the 2017 the overall average billing by tiers and by
the three commonly used rate combinations. The second table presents similar data for
2018 assuming a 4% increase in usage rates and flat/minimum charges. The SAV
billings in each table below are the existing 2017 rates and the proposed 2018 rates. The
survey details are attached as Exhibit B.
2018 Tier Rates 3.07 3.07 3.24 3.55 4.08 5.12
2018 Usage levels 4,600 7,500 15,000 22,500 30,000 37,500

SAV 2017 rate 3.35$ 26.60$ 51.13$ 78.05$ 108.95$ 147.73$
Usage only (1 City)-$ 21.38$ 42.75$ 65.93$ 90.30$ 114.68$
Flat fee + usage (61 Cities)18.26$ 41.47$ 63.07$ 86.56$ 111.06$ 138.18$
Min + usage (12 Cities)22.57$ 30.37$ 46.07$ 68.81$ 92.10$ 116.46$
Sewer Rates:
Again as part of the 2017 rate review the sewer expenditures were categorized by two
primary functions. These functions are the treatment of sanitary sewer flow and the
collection system for sanitary sewer flow. Treatment costs are considered to be
substantially driven by flow volumes while collection costs are relatively fixed in
nature. Therefore a flat fee was initiated in 2017 to begin funding the costs fixed in
nature. This allows for the usage rate to be re-set to cover the usage driven expenses.
The transition from a singular rate to a dual rate model was planned to be phased in
over time.
The table below summarizes the amounts of sewer operating expense and depreciation
expense assigned as treatment costs or collection costs.
OPERATING DEPRECIATION OVERALL
FIXED 390,042 35% 67,453 70% 457,496 38%
USAGE 728,812 65% 28,909 30% 757,720 62%
1,118,854 100% 96,362 100% 1,215,216 100%
The 2017 overall ratio of fixed costs to usage costs was 40% to 60%.
As part of the transition process the usage rate growth was expected to decelerate as flat
fee was phased-in. The 2017 rate review projected this phasing in of flat fees and its
impact to usage fees for 2018 and 2019. The projections assumed similar flow levels and
a 5.5% increase in Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) treatment fees.
For 2018 the MCES cost includes a 3.7% rate increase coupled with an increased flow
level of 13%. MCES treatment costs are the main component of the usage costs. The 2017
fixed costs were projected at a 4% increase are expected to finish close to that amount.
Based on estimated actual results for 2017 and updated 2018 budgeted costs the
proposed increase in the flat rate is consistent with the rate modeled previously. The
proposed usage rate will increase 1.5% (vs the 0.9% decrease modeled previously). The
Min/Flat - Tiers M/F 7,500 15,000 22,500 30,000 37,500
2018 projected at 4% annual increase 19.99$ 40.58$ 61.84$ 85.90$ 110.94$ 138.37$
SAV 2018 proposed 6.70$ 29.72$ 54.00$ 80.65$ 111.24$ 149.63$
Usage only (1 City)-$ 23.12$ 46.24$ 71.30$ 97.67$ 124.03$
Flat fee + usage (61 Cities)19.75$ 44.85$ 68.21$ 93.62$ 120.12$ 149.46$
Min + usage (12 Cities)24.41$ 32.85$ 49.83$ 74.42$ 99.61$ 125.96$
rate increase is in order to match the above average increase treatment costs expected
for 2018.
The recommended 2018 Sewer rates are below:
The above rates are expected to produce $1,175,081 in revenues in 2018. At this level of
revenues the operating income before depreciation is budgeted to be $56, 777. The
sewer budget is attached as Exhibit C.
The recommendation’s impact on 2018 billings is reflected below:
The above rates were compared to the 2017 survey of Metro area city’s water rates. The
tables below summarize the overall 2017 findings and the estimated 2018 rates based on
a 4% increase in annual rates. The SAV billing in the tables below are based on existing
2017 rates and proposed 2018 rates. The survey details are attached as Exhibit D.

Stormwater rates:
The multi-year approach to Stormwater rates in place since 2012 called for an annual
increase for single family residential (classifications 2 & 3) of thirty-five cent ($.35)
increase. This represents a 2.32% increase in rate and would be expected to generate
$4,570 in additional revenues (assuming no new construction). The 2.32% rate increase
will be applied to all levels of stormwater charges. The historical impact on a residential
single family user is as follows:
Quarterly Bill
Rate
Increase % Change
2011 13.00 - -
2012 13.35 0.35 2.69
2013 13.70 0.35 2.62
2014 14.05 0.35 2.55
2015 14.40 0.35 2.49
2016 14.75 0.35 2.43
2017 15.10 0.35 2.37
2018 15.45 0.35 2.32
The rate increase for other land use categories is consistent with the increase in single
family residential (classifications 2 & 3) as see below:
Classification-Land Use Proposed 2017 Charge 2016 Charge % Change
1-Cemeteries, parks, golf
courses, railroads, vacant land
$64.10 per acre $62.65 per acre 2.32%
2- R-1, R-1a, and R-2
residential
$61.80 per unit $60.40 per unit 2.32%
3- R-3 residential $61.80 per unit $60.40 per unit 2.32%
4- Schools and institutional
uses
$147.62 per acre $144.27 per acre 2.32%
5- R-4 Residential , churches
and manufactured home parks
$188.28 per acre $184.01 per acre 2.32%
6- Commercial and industrial $235.21 per acre $229.88 per acre 2.32%
The overall annual impact of the recommended rates for a residential customer at
each of the five tier level ranges from $28.77 to $31.78 as detailed below:
The Water/Sewer Utility fund summary budget is attached as Exhibit E.
Lastly a long range Utility revenues plan is attached as Exhibit F. The plan addresses a
2018 strategic plan goal to develop long term revenue planning. The rates are being
managed to begin supporting capital needs of the water and sewer operations. The
current plan projects that support to begin in 2022 with a transfer to Utilities
Infrastructure fund.
The plan includes assumptions regarding future City costs and MCES treatment costs. It
also factors in the retirement of water /sewer bonds occurring in 2024. A minimum cash
balance was established to recognize that the quarterly billing and collection process is
recovering 90-120 days of prior cash outlays. No growth in accounts or usage was
factored in the projection. Real growth will be noted annually through the process of
updating the base year results. With these factors in place the phase-in of the flat fee
and usage rate adjustments were determined. Staff believes the model will help guide
year to year rate increases while being flexible enough to keep the annual increases
reasonable for utility customers.
As always your comments and suggestions are welcomed.

MEMORANDUM
To: St. Anthony Village City Council Worksession
From: Breanne Rothstein, AICP, City Planner
Date: October 13, 2017
WSB Project No. 02170-390 Phase 5
Request: Update to Right-of-Way ordinance relative to regulating small wireless
facilities
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Recent legislative action has brought to attention the need for Cities to update their right-of-way
ordinances to accommodate the installation of small wireless facilities within the public right-of-way.
The League of Minnesota Cities (LMC) has provided guidance in updating local ordinances in order to
better regulate private development in the public realm, as well as to insure appropriate safeguards are
in place to manage this development.
Attached is an edited version of Chapter 96: Right-of-Way Management that incorporates the
recommended changes provided by the LMC. The existing ordinance does not differ significantly from
the model ordinance provided by the LMC, with the exception of the language specific to small wireless
facilities.
Included with this item is a memorandum from Kennedy & Graven regarding the implications of the
recent legislative action regarding regulation of small local wireless facilities, as well as the updated
model right-of-way ordinance.
Also, as a part of this amended ordinance, the city should examine the Right of Way fees they charge,
and include a statutory-set fee for small wireless facilities. Also, staff would like to evaluate the
establishment of a degradation
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends that the City Council review the proposed changes and direct staff to initiate a text
amendment to update Chapter 96 to conform with the ordinance language provided by the League of
Minnesota Cities.

Exhibit B: Memorandum from Kennedy & Graven including Model Ordinance
Exhibit C: ROW Fees (current and proposed)

§ 96.01 FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.
To provide for the health, safety and welfare of its citizens, and to ensure the integrity of its
streets and the appropriate use of the rights-of-way, the city strives to keep its rights-of-way in a state
of good repair and free from unnecessary encumbrances.
Accordingly, the city hereby enacts this new chapter of this code relating to right-of-way permits
and administration. This chapter imposes reasonable regulation on the placement and maintenance of
facilities and equipment currently within its rights-of-way or to be placed therein at some future time. It is
intended to complement the regulatory roles of state and federal agencies. Under this chapter, persons
excavating and obstructing the rights-of-way will bear financial responsibility for their work. Finally, this
chapter provides for recovery of out-of-pocket and projected costs from persons using the public rights-
of-way.
This chapter shall be interpreted consistently with 1997 Session Laws, Chapter 123, substantially
codified in Minnesota Statutes Sections 237.16, 237.162, 237.163, 237.79, 237.81, and 238.086 (the
"Act") and 2017 Session Laws, Chapter 94 amending the Act and the other laws governing applicable
rights of the city and users of the right-of-way. This chapter shall also be interpreted consistent with
Minnesota Rules 7819.0050 —7819.9950 and Minnesota Rules Chapter 7560 where possible. To the
extent any provision of this chapter cannot be interpreted consistently with the Minnesota Rules, that
interpretation most consistent with the Act and other applicable statutory and case law is intended. This
chapter shall not be interpreted to limit the regulatory and police powers of the city to adopt and enforce
general ordinances necessary to protect the health, safety and welfare of the public.
§ 96.02 ELECTION TO MANAGE THE PUBLIC RIGHTS-OF-WAY

(A) If the city determines that the applicant has satisfied the requirements of this
chapter, the city may issue a permit.
(B) The city may impose any reasonable conditions upon the insurance of a
permit and the performance of the applicant thereunder in order to protect the public
health, safety, and welfare, to ensure the structural integrity of the right-of-way, to protect
the property and safety of other users of the right-of-way, to minimize the disruption and
inconvenience to the traveling public, and to otherwise efficiently manage use of the
right-of-way.
(C) Small Wireless Facility Conditions. In addition to subdivision 2, the erection or
installation of a wireless support structure, the collocation of a small wireless facility, or
other installation of a small wireless facility in the right-of-way, shall be subject to the
following conditions:
1) A small wireless facility shall only be collocated on the particular wireless support structure,
under those attachment specifications, and at the height indicated in the applicable permit
application.
2) No new wireless support structure installed within the right-of-way shall exceed 50 feet in
height without the city’s written authorization, provided that the city may impose a lower

3) No wireless facility may extend more than 10 feet above its wireless support structure.
4) Where an applicant proposes to install a new wireless support structure in the right-of-way, the
city may impose separation requirements between such structure and any existing wireless
support structure or other facilities in and around the right-of-way.
5) Where an applicant proposes collocation on a decorative wireless support structure, sign or
other structure not intended to support small wireless facilities, the city may impose reasonable
requirements to accommodate the particular design, appearance or intended purpose of such
structure.
6) Where an applicant proposes to replace a wireless support structure, the city may impose

Right-of-Way Management 69
The standard collocation agreement shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, the required small wireless
facility permit, provided, however, that the applicant shall not be additionally required to obtain a license
or franchise in order to collocate. Issuance of a small wireless facility permit does not supersede, alter or
affect any then-existing agreement between the city and applicant,
Note: Minn. Stat. § 237.163, Subd. 6(g).
(E) Action on Small Wireless Facility Permit Applications.
1. Deadline for Action. The city shall approve or deny a small wireless facility permit
application within 90 days after filing of such application. The small wireless facility
permit, and any associated building permit application, shall be deemed approved if the city
fails to approve or deny the application within the review periods established in this
section.
2. Consolidated Applications. An applicant may file a consolidated small wireless facility
permit application addressing the proposed collocation of up to 15 small wireless facilities,
or a greater number if agreed to by a local government unit, provided that all small wireless
facilities in the application:
a) are located within a two-mile radius;
b) consist of substantially similar equipment; and
c) are to be placed on similar types of wireless support structures.
In rendering a decision on a consolidated permit application, the city may approve some
small wireless facilities and deny others, but may not use denial of one or more permits as a
basis to deny all small wireless facilities in the application.
(F) Tolling of Deadline. The 90-day deadline for action on a small wireless facility permit
application may be tolled if:
(1) The city receives applications from one or more applicants seeking approval of
permits for more than 30 small wireless facilities within a seven-day period. In such
case, the city may extend the deadline for all such applications by 30 days by
informing the affected applicants in writing of such extension.
(2) The applicant fails to submit all required documents or information and the city
provides written notice of incompleteness to the applicant within 30 days of receipt
the application. Upon submission of additional documents or information, the city
shall have ten days to notify the applicant in writing of any still-missing information.
(3) The city and a small wireless facility applicant agree in writing to toll the review
period.

70 St. Anthony - General Regulations
(A) Excavation permit fee. The excavation permit fee shall be established imposed by the city in an
amount sufficient to recover the following costs:
(1) The city cost;
(2) The degradation of the right-of-way that will result from the excavation; and
(3) Restoration, if done or caused to be done by the city.
(B) Disruption fees. The city may establish and impose a disruption fee as a penalty for
unreasonable delays in excavations, obstructions, or restoration.
(B)(C) Obstruction Permit Fee. The city shall impose an obstruction permit fee in an amount
sufficient to recover management costs.
(C)(D) Payment of permit fees. No excavation permit or obstruction permit shall be issued
without payment of all fees required prior to the issuance of the permit unless the applicant shall
agree ( in manner, amount, and substance acceptable to the city) to pay the fees within 30 days of
billing therefor. All permit fees shall be doubled during a probationary period. Permit fees that were
paid for a permit which was revoked for a breach are not refundable. Any refunded permit fees shall be
less all city cost up to and including the date of refund.
(E) Use of permit fees. All obstruction and excavation permit fees shall be used solely for city
management, construction, maintenance, and restoration costs of the right-of-way.
(D)(F) Application to Franchises. Unless otherwise agreed to in a franchise, management costs
may be charged separately from and in addition to the franchise fees imposed on a right-of-way user in
the franchise.
(1993 Code, § 1165.12)
§ 96.1315 RIGHT-OF-WAY RESTORATION.
(A) Timing. The work to be done under the excavation permit, and the repair and restoration of the
right-of-way as required herein, must be completed within the dates specified in the permit, increased by
as many days as work could not be done because of extraordinary circumstances beyond the control

of the permit holder or when work was prohibited as unseasonable or unreasonable under § 96.1618.
In addition to repairing its own work, the permit holder must restore the general work area of the work,
and the surrounding areas, including the paving and its foundations, to the same condition that existed
before the commencement of the work and must inspect the area of work and use reasonable care to
maintain the same condition for 36 months thereafter.
(B) Repair and restoration. The permit holder shall repair its own work. In addition, in its
application for an excavation permit, the permit holder may choose either to have the city restore the
right-of-way or to restore the right-of-way itself.
(1) City restoration. If the permit holder chooses to have the city restore the right-of-way, the
permit holder shall pay the costs thereof within 30 days of billing. If, during the 36 months following
the restoration, the pavement settles due to the permit holder’s improper backfilling, the permit holder
shall pay to the city, within 30 days of billing, the cost for the resultant degradation as well as for any and
all additional city costs associated therewith.
(2) Permit holder restoration. If the permit holder chooses at the time of application for an
excavation permit to restore the right-of-way itself, the permit holder shall post an additional
performance and restoration bond in an amount determined by the city to be sufficient to cover the cost of
restoring the right-of-way to its pre-excavation condition. If, 36 months after completion of the
restoration of the right-of-way, the city determines that the right-of-way has been properly restored, the
surety on the performance and restoration bond posted pursuant to this division (B)(2) shall be released.
(C) Standards. The permit holder shall perform the work according to the standards and with the
materials specified by the city. The city shall have the authority to prescribe the manner and extent of
the restoration, and may do so in written procedures of general application or on a case-by-case basis.
The city, in exercising this authority, shall be guided but not limited by the following standards and
considerations:
(1) The number, size, depth, and duration of the excavations, disruptions, or damage to the
right-of-way;
(2) The traffic volume catted by the right-of-way; the character of the neighborhood
surrounding the right-of-way;
(3) The pre-excavation condition of the right-of-way; remaining life expectancy of the right-
of-way affected by the excavation;
(4) Whether the relative cost of the method of restoration to the permit holder is in reasonable
balance with the prevention of an accelerated deprecation of the right-of-way that would otherwise result
from the excavation, disturbance or damage to the right-of-way; and
(5) The likelihood that the particular method of restoration would be effective in slowing the
deprecation of the right-of-way that would otherwise take place.
72 St. Anthony - General Regulations
(D) Guarantees. By choosing to restore the right-of-way itself, the permit holder guarantees its
work and shall maintain it for 36 months following the completion. During this 36-month period, it
shall, upon notification from the city, correct all restoration work to the extent necessary, using the
method required by the city. The work shall be completed within 5 calendar days of the receipt of the
notice from the city, not including days during which work cannot be done because of extraordinary
circumstances or days when work is prohibited as unseasonable or unreasonable under § 96.1618.
(E) Failure to restore. If the permit holder fails to restore the right-of-way in the manner and to the
condition required by the city, or fails to satisfactorily and timely complete all repairs required by the
city, the city at its option may perform or cause to be performed the work. In that event, the permit
holder shall pay to the city, within 30 days of billing, the cost of restoring the right-of-way. If the permit
holder fails to pay as required, the city may exercise its rights under the performance and restoration
bond.
(F) Degradation fee in lieu of restoration. In lieu of right-of-way restoration, a permit holder shall
pay to the city a degradation fee to cover city costs associated with a decrease in the useful life of a public
right-of-way caused by excavation and repairs. Payment of a degradation fee does not relieve the permit
holder of the obligation to make necessary right-of-way repairs.
(1993 Code, § 1165.13)
§ 96.1416 JOINT APPLICATIONS.
(A) Joint application. Registrants may jointly make application for permits to excavate or obstruct
the right-of-way at the same place and time.
(B) With city projects. Registrants who join in and during a scheduled obstruction or excavation
preformed by the city, whether or not it is a joint application by 2 or more registrants or a single
application, are not required to pay the obstruction and degradation portions of the permit fee.
(C) Shared fees. Registrants who apply for permits for the same obstruction or excavation, which
is not preformed by the city, may share in the payment of the obstruction of excavation permit fee.
Registrants must agree among themselves as to the portion each will pay indicate the same on their
applications.
(1993 Code, § 1165.14)
§ 96.1517 SUPPLEMENTAL APPLICATIONS.
(A) Limitation on area. A right-of-way permit is valid only for the area of the right-of-way
specified in the permit. No permit holder may perform any work outside the area specified in the
permit, except as provided herein. Any permit holder which determines that an area greater than that
Right-of-Way Management 73
specified in the permit must be obstructed or excavated must before working in that greater area make
application for a permit extension and pay any additional fees necessitated thereby, and be granted a new
permit or permit extension.
(B) Limitations on dates. A right-of-way permit is valid only for the dates specified in the permit.
No permit holder may begin its work before the permit start date or, except as provided therein, continue
working after the end date. If permit holder does not finish the work by the permit end date, it must
make application for a new permit for additional time it needs, and receive the new permit or an
extension of the old permit before working after the end date of the previous permit. This
supplementary application must be done before the permit end date.
(1993 Code, § 1165.15)
§ 96.16 18 OTHER OBLIGATIONS.
(A) Compliance with other laws. Obtaining a right-of-way permit does not relieve permit holder of
its duty to obtain all other necessary permits, licenses, franchises, or other authorizations and to pay all
fees required by the city, any other city, county, state, or federal rules, laws, or regulations. A permit
holder shall comply with all requirements of local, state, and federal laws, including M.S. §§ 216D.01
through 216D.09, as they may be amended from time to time, (“One Call Excavation Notice System”).
A permit holder shall preform all work in conformance with all applicable codes and established rules
and regulations, and is responsible for all work done in the right-of-way pursuant to its permit, regardless
of who performed the work.
(B) Prohibited work. Except in the case of an emergency, and with the approval of the city, no
right-of-way obstruction or excavation may be performed when seasonally prohibited or when
conditions are unreasonable for the work.
(C) Interference with right-of-way. A permit holder shall not so obstruct a right-of-way that the
natural free and clear passage of water through the gutters or other waterways shall be interfered with.
Private vehicles may not be parked with adjacent to a permit area. The loading or unloading of trucks
adjacent to a permit area is prohibited unless specifically authorized by the permit.
(1993 Code, § 1165.16)
§ 96.17 19 DENIAL OR REVOCATION OF PERMIT.
(A) Reasons for Denial. The city may deny a permit for failure to meet the requirements and conditions
of this chapter or if the city determines that the denial is necessary to protect the health, safety, and
welfare or when necessary to protect the right-of-way and its current use.
(B) Procedural Requirements. The denial or revocation of a permit must be made in writing and must
document the basis for the denial. The city must notify the applicant or right-of-way user in writing
within three business days of the decision to deny or revoke a permit. If an application is denied, the
right-of-way user may address the reasons for denial identified by the city and resubmit its
application. If the application is resubmitted within 30 days of receipt of the notice of denial, no
additional application fee shall be imposed. The city must approve or deny the resubmitted
application within 30 days after submission..Note: Minn. Stat. § 237.163, Subds. 4(c) and 5(f).
(1) Mandatory denial. Except in the case of an emergency, no right-of-way permit will be

safety, and welfare, to prevent interference with the safety and convenience of ordinary travel over
the right-of-way, or when necessary to protect the right-of-way and its users. The city may
consider 1 or more of the following factors:
(1) The extent to which right-of-way space where the permit is sought is available;
(2) The competing demands for the particular space in the right-of-way;
(3) The availability of other locations in the right-of-way or in other rights-of-way
equipment of the permit applicants;

installation of new equipment, and the replacement of old equipment shall be done underground or
contained within buildings or other structures in conformity with applicable codes unless otherwise
agreed to by the city in witting, and the agreement is reflected in applicable permits.
(B) Corridors. The city may assign specific corridors within the right-of-way, or any particular
segment thereof as may be necessary, for each type of equipment that is or, pursuant to current
technology, the city expects will someday be located within the right-of-way. Excavation, obstruction,
or other permits issued by the city for good involving the installation or replacement of equipment may
designate the proper corridor for the equipment at issue and the equipment must be located accordingly.

is located, move that equipment to its assigned position within the right-of-way, unless this requirement
is waived by the city for good cause shown, upon consideration of factors such as the remaining
economic life of the facilities, public safety, customer service needs, and headship to the registrant.
(D) Nuisance. One year after the passage of this chapter, any equipment found in a right-of-way
that has not been registered shall be deemed to be a nuisance. The city may exercise any remedies or
rights it has at law or in equity, including, but not limited to, abating the nuisance or taking possession of
the equipment and restoring the right-of-way to a usable condition.

right-of-way. In making the decisions, the city shall strive to the extent possible to accommodate all
existing and
82 St. Anthony - General Regulations
potential users of the right-of-way, but shall be guided primarily by considerations of public interest, the
public’s needs for the particular service, the condition of the right-of-way, the time of year with respect to

conditions, permanently remove and relocate its equipment and facilities in the right-of-way whenever
the city requests the removal and relocation, and shall restore the right-of-way to the same condition it
was in prior to the removal or relocation. The city may make the requests in order to prevent inference
by the company’s equipment or facilities with a present or future city use of the right-of-way; a public
improvement undertaken by the city; an economic development project in which the city has an interest
or investment; when the public health, safety and welfare requires it; or when necessary to prevent
interference with the safety and convenience or ordinary travel over the right-of-way.

§ 96.3335 RESERVATION OF REGULATORY AND POLICE POWERS.
The city, by granting of a right-of way permit, or by registering a person under this section, does not
surrender or to any extent lose, waive, impair, or lessen the lawful powers and rights, which it has now or
may be hereafter vested in the city under the Constitution and Statues of the State of Minnesota to
regulate the use of the right-of-way by permit holder; and the permit holder by its acceptance of a
right-of-way permit or of registration under those ordinances agrees that all lawful powers and rights,
regulatory power, or police power, or otherwise as are or the same may be from time to time vested in or
reserved to the city, shall be in full force and effect and subject to the exercise thereof by the city at any

§ 96.3436 SEVERABILITY.
If any division, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion of this chapter is for any reason held invalid or
unconstitutional by any court or administrative agency of competent jurisdiction, that portion shall be
deemed a separate, distinct, and independent provision and the holding shall not affect the validity of the
remaining portions thereof. If regulatory body or a court of competent jurisdiction should determine by
a final, nonappealable order that any permit, right, or registration issued under this chapter or any portion
of this chapter is illegal or unenforceable, then any such permit right or registration granted or deemed to
exist hereunder shall be considered as a revocable permit with mutual right in either party to terminate
without cause giving 60 days written notice to the other. The requirements and conditions of such a
revocable permit shall be the same requirements and conditions as set forth in the permit, right or
registration, respectively, except for the conditions relating to the term of the permit and
86 St. Anthony - General Regulations
the right of termination. If a permit, right or registration shall be considered a revocable permit as
provided herein, the permit holder must acknowledge the authority of the City Council to issue the
revokable permit and the power to revoke it. Nothing in this chapter precludes the city from
requirements set forth herein.
(1993 Code, § 1165.34)
