A. Resolution 18-029; a Resolution Approving a Request to Keep 4 Chickens in an R-1 1
Zoning District at 2513 30th Avenue NE. 2
3
City Planner Rothstein reviewed staff received an inquiry from the Applicant (Rick Dallmeyer 4
2513 30th Avenue) on March 4, 2018 requesting information about what they needed to do in 5
order to be able to have chickens on their property. They were directed to provide a site plan 6
showing the location and dimensions of the proposed enclosure on the property, as well as a 7
written request to the City Council in the form of a letter. The written request and diagram were 8
provided on March 4, 2018 showing the location and dimensions of the chicken coop in relation 9
to their property. The coop will be located along the western edge of the property and will run 10
parallel to a 5’ chain link fence. The coop will be a total of 16 square feet (4’ x 4’) of wood 11
materials and stained brown like the property owner’s existing shed. The coop will have an 12
attached run of 48 square feet; 4 inches of the 12-inch long run will be located under the elevated 13
coop. Ms. Rothstein provided the City Code Section §91.56 related to the request. 14
15
Councilmember Jenson asked Mr. Dallmeyer if he has communicated this to his neighbors and 16
were any concerns expressed. Mr. Dallmeyer stated the neighbor along the fence line had no 17
concerns. 18
19
City Manager Casey stated the City has not received any comments regarding this case. Mayor 20
Faust noted no roosters would be allowed. 21
22
Motion by Councilmember Gray, seconded by Councilmember Jenson, to approve Resolution 23
18-029; a Resolution Approving a Request to Keep Four (4) Chickens in an R-1 Zoning District 24

B. Resolution 18-030; a Resolution Approving the PUD Preliminary Development 29
Plan/PUD Rezoning, and Preliminary Plat related to The Village, LLC Project located at 30
2501 Lowry Avenue. 31
32
City Planner Rothstein provided the background of the case and reviewed the applicant for the 33
proposal, The Village, LLC, with lead developer Continental Property Group, purchased the 34
Lowry Grove manufactured home park property at 2501 Lowry Avenue on June 13, 2016. In the 35
ensuing year, the manufactured home park and the former and new property owners engaged in a 36
series of state statutory requirements for manufactured home park closures. The Lowry Grove 37
manufactured home park formally closed on June 30, 2017. 38
39
On October 24, 2016, the Planning Commission reviewed an initial Planned Unit Development 40
(PUD) sketch plan submission for the site from The Village LLC. An Environmental Assessment 41
Worksheet (EAW) for the site was completed in November 2016. 42
43
On July 18, 2017, The Village, LLC submitted a series of land use applications for their 44
proposed redevelopment of the former Lowry Grove site that also included the adjacent Bremer 45

Bank site. On October 10, 2017, the City Council denied the request and adopted a resolution 1
outlining their stated reasons. 2
3
On December 22, 2017, The Village, LLC submitted new applications and requests for a 4
preliminary PUD plan/rezoning, a preliminary plat, and a comprehensive plan amendment for the 5
site. Their submission was deemed incomplete at that time, due to changes in the status of the 6
purchase agreement for the Bremer property, and The Village, LLC was properly informed of 7
this. 8
9
On January 26, 2018, The Village, LLC submitted a revised plan for preliminary plat and 10
preliminary PUD development plan for the site that excluded the Bremer Bank site. The 11
application was deemed complete by the City and is the subject of this report. 12
13
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on February 26, 2018, took public testimony on 14
the revised plan, reviewed the proposal, and recommended, 7 to 0, to approve the preliminary 15
plat and preliminary PUD development plan, subject to the conditions in the staff report, and 16
adding a condition to evaluate the intersection at 27th Avenue. The Planning Commission also 17
approved, 7 to 0, a supplemental motion recommending that the City Council strongly consider 18
tying financial tax incentives for this development to affordable housing and requiring that 19
housing being included for families and in each building within the development. 20
21
Ms. Rothstein provided a summary of the requests with their land use application for the 22
redevelopment plan for 2501 Lowry Avenue: Planned Unit Development (PUD) preliminary 23
development plan review and Re-Zoning Request and Preliminary Plat review for their re-24
development plan for 2501 Lowry Avenue. 25
26
The preliminary plat and PUD preliminary development submittal proposes a residential 27
redevelopment that includes several housing types and styles: independent senior rental housing; 28
assisted living senior housing; and general occupancy rental housing. There is a total of 430 29
housing units proposed on the site, comprised of three buildings of multifamily housing. While 30
the floor plans currently show 414 units, the developer is requesting authorization to reconfigure 31
the floor plans and unit sizes and number within the current building footprints proposed in order 32
to increase the number of proposed units up to a hard cap of 430 units. The reconfiguration 33
would result in 28 units per acre. This is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan in the zoning 34
district. 35
36
The independent senior building (Building A) is proposed to include approximately 61 studio, 1-37
bedroom and 2-bedroom units and to be 45.5 feet in height. Building B, consisting of assisted 38
living senior housing, is proposed to have approximately 128 units, which range in size from 39
very small, memory care units to larger 2-bedroom units. This building is proposed to be 45.5 40
feet in height. The general occupancy rental building (Building C) is proposed to have a mix of 41
studio (approximately 77), 1-bedroom (100 units), 2-bedroom (36) and 3-bedroom (12) units. 42
Building C is proposed to be 44 feet in height. These exact breakdowns are subject to change, 43
based on final market studies and plans. 44

There is a total of 693 designated parking stalls proposed for the development. These include 407 1
enclosed parking stalls and 286 surface stalls. The redevelopment proposal includes two storm 2
water retention ponds proposed at grade. The City Engineer has reviewed the surface water 3
management plan and submitted comments were provided for Council review. Trails are 4
proposed throughout the development to connect with existing sidewalks and to provide intra-5
site recreational opportunities. 6
7
Ms. Rothstein showed renderings of the proposal. She reviewed the changes from the last plan 8
including exclusion of the Bremer Bank site due to expiration of purchase agreement, increased 9
surface parking, reduced building heights, no connection to alley, deeper setbacks and reduced 10
retaining wall use. The site plan also has one change from the time it was reviewed by the 11
Planning Commission which includes moving the Assisted Living Building approximately 14 12
feet more to the West. 13
14
The plan proposes to connect to the existing sewer, water, and storm water facilities located 15
under Kenzie Terrace and Stinson Parkway. 16
17
Ms. Rothstein reviewed the Zoning Guidance and noted the site is currently zoned R-1 Single 18
Family. The applicant is requesting to rezone the site to Planned Unit Development (PUD). The 19
intent of a PUD zoning designation is “to create a more flexible, creative, and efficient approach 20
to the use of land”, and may include a greater use variety and dimensional flexibility than the 21
underlying zoning district(s) would allow. 22
23
Upon review of the proposal, the only deviation found from the standards of the R-4 Multiple 24
Family Residential district is the height of the buildings. Maximum height in the R-4 zoning 25
district is 35 feet, and the maximum height of the proposed highest building is 45.5 feet. 26
27
Staff deemed the preliminary plat submission complete after reviewing the submitted elements 28
against the required information listed in Section 151.02. Ms. Rothstein summarized the proposal 29
for each element of the preliminary plat and preliminary PUD site plan. The following were 30
reviewed: Housing Types and Massing/Height, Traffic, Streets and Access, Parking, 31
Landscaping, Streetscape/Urban Design, Trails/Sidewalks, Public Spaces/Parks, Environmental 32
Assessment Worksheet, Environmental (Contamination), Grading, Storm water Management 33
Utilities, Phasing, Park Dedication Fees, Development Agreements/Contracts, Other 34
Agency/Department Requirements, State Rules Governing Completion of an EAW, Minnesota 35
Pollution Control Agency (MPCA), Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board, Mississippi 36
Watershed Management Organization (MWMO), Fire Department Review, Public Safety, and 37
Hennepin County Transportation. 38
39
Ms. Rothstein reviewed there has been much interest in the proposed redevelopment of this site, 40
starting almost two years ago and continuing to-date. Staff has received over 100 emails since 41
the initial sketch plan phase. Additionally, staff has spoken with many residents and concerned 42
neighbors and has summarized the concerns as follows: 43
44
6
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
March 27, 2018
Page 7
Concerns over the density and height of the proposal. The most common concern is the 1
opinion that the comprehensive plan should not be amended to accommodate this 2
development and that heights should be consistent with those around the site. 3
Concerns over the loss of affordable housing. People have expressed the need to 4
retain/replace affordable housing on the site. 5
Concerns over traffic and safety. People have stated the increase in traffic on Stinson 6
Parkway will reduce livability and increase congestion at key intersections. 7
Concerns regarding views for existing Kenzington Condos residents. People have 8
expressed concern over the reduction in views from their units. 9
Concerns over tree removal. 10
Concerns over school capacity and other services. 11
Concerns over the handling and treatment of storm water runoff. 12
13
Ms. Rothstein noted since the Planning Commission review the further analysis of 27th Avenue 14
requested by the Planning Commission has been completed. Staff has completed a thorough 15
review of the proposal and has the following comments and conditions for the Preliminary PUD 16
Development Plan and Preliminary Plat: 17
18
Setback from Kenzington Condos – Increase the setback from the property line by approximately 19
20 feet, shifting the development to the west. 20
21
Vacation of Easement – There is currently a watermain easement through the site, which will 22
need to be vacated through a separate action accompanying a final plat. 23
24
Engineering Comments – All changes contained in the City Engineer and storm water 25
management memoranda should be made to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. 26
27
Agency Comments – MPRB and Hennepin County permits shall be obtained and permit 28
requirements should be incorporated, as final approval by those agencies requires. 29
30
Revised Traffic Study Recommendations – All traffic mitigation efforts listed in the revised 31
traffic study shall be part of the conditions for approval, as permitted by other regulating 32
agencies (MPRB and Hennepin County). 33
34
Receipt of All Applicable Permits – All other agency permits shall be obtained, and plans 35
approved prior to construction on the site. 36
37
Planning Commission Chair Dominic Papatola thanked Ms. Rothstein for guiding the Planning 38
Commission through this process. He indicated the Planning Commission held the public hearing 39
on February 26 and there was much resident input heard at that meeting. They were heartened to 40
see that the new proposal fell within the City’s density guidelines. They were encouraged by the 41
developer’s flexibility on matters such as parking and buildings placement. The Planning 42
Commission recommended unanimously that the Council approve the preliminary PUD plan and 43
preliminary plat and corresponding resolution. Chair Papatola stated the Planning Commission 44
passed a resolution that any City financial assistance be used for the development of affordable 45
family housing throughout the development. 46

Mayor Faust noted the building was moved 14 feet and the contingency noted 20 feet. Ms. 2
Rothstein stated 14 feet meets the intent of the recommendation. 3
4
Councilmember Jenson asked what the distance is between the Kenzington and the assisted 5
living building. Ms. Rothstein replied it is approximately 100 feet. 6
7
Mr. Link Wilson, Architects, stated there are a number of team members with him this evening. 8
He introduced the presentation team members. Mr. Wilson presented the outline for their 9
presentation this evening. He gave a detailed description of the PUD, noting the public amenities 10
on the site include trails, the boulevard through the site, vast green space on the site and the long-11
term service to the community. They feel they are able to service many generations on the site. 12
Mr. Wilson noted the first site plan had many faults and many changes have been made. The 13
boulevard through the site would connect with Stinson Boulevard and Stinson Parkway; the trails 14
could be used by the residents living in the development and neighbors; and, Frana Companies 15
will be the builders of the site. They have built quality projects in Minnesota and throughout the 16
Midwest. 17
18
Mr. Wilson reviewed the affordable housing aspect and noted there are 79 apartment units that 19
meet 80% of AMI. Once the assisted living is built out, there would be 13 units of a waiver. This 20
totals 92 of the 430 units that would be affordable, which is 21% of the total project. The updated 21
traffic report was completed and provides for necessary offsite improvements consisting of turn 22
lane extensions and signal timing optimization. Mr. Wilson stated a meeting with Park Board 23
Staff will be held later this week. 24
25
Mr. Jared Ward, Wenck, was available to address any civil engineering issues with Mr. Ken 26
Haberman available to address environmental issues. 27
28
Mr. Link Wilson provided the data on the buildings. The green space calculation is 43.3%, which 29
does not include the patio to the northwest and the plaza. Ms. Susan Farr was available to speak 30
on the services for the assisted living building. It was noted that the market rate building is the 31
only one where a variance is requested. Renderings of the buildings were shown to the Council. 32
Mr. Wilson continued with bird’s-eye view renderings of the buildings, open space, and the 33
entire project area. They are attempting to preserve as many of the mature trees as possible. 34
35
Mr. Wilson reviewed the next steps if Council approves their request this evening. They will 36
apply for an environmental grant, work with the City Attorney on development agreement 37
negotiations, final plat application and final PUD approval, building inspections, and 38
construction would begin in the fall. Statistics for the culture of this community were shared. 39
40
Councilmember Jenson asked about parking and the number of parking spaces compared to 41
units. He also asked if there will be parking available for visitors. Mr. Wilson provided statistical 42
information about parking that would be provided below grade for the residents with surface 43
parking being mainly for guests as well as street parking along the boulevard. Half of the market 44
rate building surface parking would be available for visitors. He feels there is more parking that 45
is needed. 46

City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
March 27, 2018
Page 9
1
Mayor Faust asked City Attorney Phil Steger for comments. Mr. Steger reviewed the authority of 2
the Council and the procedural requirements. He quoted City Code and advised May 26 would 3
be the date by which Council has to decide the matter. 4
5
City Manager Casey noted City staff has had conversations with AEON and they are 6
aggressively engaged with Bremer Bank on the possible development of that property and 7
timelines will be coming up shortly for grant applications. 8
9
Mayor Faust stated he has been contacted by Bremer Bank and it is good to see AEON is moving 10
forward. He noted the Council has two decisions this evening in addition to the one from AEON 11
on affordable housing. With the reduction in units per acre and the building height reduction, 12
Mayor Faust indicated he is inclined to move forward on approving the preliminary plat and 13
PUD. 14
15
Councilmember Jenson stated the new revelation with AEON and Bremer Bank addresses some 16
of the concerns he would raise regarding the preliminary plat and PUD. He is happy to hear there 17
appears to be a breakthrough that would address the affordable housing concerns. 18
19
Councilmember Gray agreed the adjustments in the plan show the developers listened to the 20
concerns expressed. He feels good about AEON and Bremer Bank’s work. He noted the City-21
owned bowling alley site is also available to developers for affordable housing. He is inclined to 22
vote in favor of the preliminary plat and PUD this evening. 23
24
Mayor Faust stated he has not received any public input sheets so he would entertain a motion 25
from Council. Public input sheets were submitted. 26
27
Mr. Perry Thorvig, 3112 Townview Avenue, read a prepared statement and noted most of the 28
issues have been resolved but he has three issues remaining. He stated it is unreasonable for the 29
Kenzington to request a setback up to four times what they have in their building. He agrees with 30
the developer’s solution. He requested Council change the wording in the resolution to state that 31
the setbacks be as shown in the revised site plan dated 3/19/18. Mr. Thorvig’s second issue is the 32
park dedication requirements. He requested Council add an additional resolved statement that 33
reads as follows: “Notwithstanding the recommendation of the parks commission, the expenses 34
incurred in the construction of the 8’ walkway will not be credited against normal park 35
dedication fees for this project.” His third concern is on affordable housing. He requested 36
Council add another resolved statement requiring affordable housing units in this subdivision. 37
38
Ms. Sandy Sherman, 4008 Foss Road, stated there was an article in the newspaper. The Council 39
had promised that low-income housing would be part of this development but the only portion 40
that is affordable is the senior housing for those 80% of AMI. Ms. Sherman provided the Met 41
Council’s definition of 80% of AMI. She does not believe any of these rents are affordable when 42
the average pay is $15/hour and this does not provide a place for the Lowry Grove residents. Ms. 43
Sherman stated Bremer Bank was never part of this development. She said affordable housing is 44
supported elsewhere and she believes the City Administration does not want affordable housing. 45

She restated her belief that this development provides no housing for the low-income past 1
residents of Lowry Grove Mobile Home Park. 2
3
Ms. Barbara Sullivan stated she is concerned about the environmental clean-up as she did not 4
hear anything about the chemicals, pervious surfaces, etc. She would like Mr. Haberman to 5
address these issues. 6
7
Ms. Nancy Robinett, 3408 31st Avenue NE, stated her topic is also affordable housing and it is 8
nice to hear that AEON was in discussions on the Bremer Bank site but the future of that is 9
unknown. She stated many are happy about the prospect but it doesn’t exist this evening. She is 10
familiar with AEON and their work but pointed out there is not a deal in place. Ms. Robinett 11
added the Council doesn’t need to make a decision this evening on the 2501 Lowry site and she 12
wants to wait until the Bremer Bank deal is done. 13
14
Ms. Mel Chaput, 3537 Coolidge Street NE, stated she is concerned about affordable housing. 15
She heard from others that the Mayor had said St. Anthony is not a walled community; however, 16
she feels it is. Ms. Chaput stated equity has been in the forefront of what she’s been thinking 17
about for the past two years and it is important to know the outcome of the AEON/Bremer Bank 18
deal before a decision is made. She questioned the Council’s sincerity to do what needs to be 19
done. Ms. Chaput read an email sent to City staff prior to Lowry Grove being closed with 20
concerns about the park closing. Meetings were held and social services were requested for the 21
Lowry Grove residents. Ms. Chaput read another email she sent asking the City to assist in 22
storage of Lowry Grove residents’ property. She stated these emails should be available for 23
public review. Ms. Chaput stated she does not trust the Council and asked that this proposal not 24
be approved until the AEON/Bremer Bank deal is done because we need to take care of those in 25
the community that need help. 26
27
Ms. Kate Martin, 2513 30th Avenue, stated she understands from Mr. Casey’s announcement that 28
AEON is interested in the Bremer Bank site but no purchase agreement has been signed. She 29
noted this project in front of us now and the affordable housing component is a joke. She asked 30
that Council not approve the proposal this evening. 31
32
Mr. Jesse Pikturna, 2616 27th Avenue NE, stated he does not think this should be approved. He 33
is worried about affordable housing, traffic on 27th Avenue, the safety of the children on 27th 34
Avenue, and the impact on schools and emergency services. He stated there is no reason to 35
approve tonight and these issues need to be understood better. 36
37
In consideration of the above items, it was noted that staff recommends that the City Council 38
take action to adopt a resolution approving the preliminary PUD plan and preliminary plat, 39
contingent on the requirements and items listed in the resolution. The following actions are 40
options for the City Council to consider: 41
1. Motion to adopt a resolution, approving the preliminary PUD plan and preliminary plat, 42
contingent on the requirements and items listed in the Resolution and in the staff report. 43
2. Motion to table action on the preliminary PUD development plan and preliminary plat, based 44
on the submittal of additional information, as enumerated in the staff report. 45

staff to prepare a draft resolution declaring terms of the same, based on the findings of the 2
City Council. 3
4
Motion by Councilmember Gray, seconded by Councilmember Randle, to approve Resolution 5
18-030; a Resolution Approving the PUD Preliminary Development Plan/PUD Rezoning and 6
Preliminary Plat Related to The Village, LLC Project Located at 2501 Lowry Avenue with the 7
following contingencies: 8
Setback from Kensington Condos – Increase the setback from the property line by 9
approximately 20 feet, shifting the development to the west. 10
Vacation of Easement – There is currently a watermain easement through the site, which will 11
need to be vacated through a separate action accompanying a final plat. 12
Engineering Comments – The full City Engineer memo and storm water management are 13
available as attachments and all changes should be made, per the memo to the satisfaction of 14
the City Engineer. 15
Agency Comments – Park Board and Hennepin County permits shall be obtained and permit 16
requirements should be incorporated, as final approval by those agencies requires. 17
Revised Traffic Study Recommendations – All traffic mitigation efforts listed in the revised 18
traffic study shall be part of the conditions for approval, as permitted by other regulating 19
agencies (Park Board and Hennepin County). 20
Receipt of All Applicable Permits – All other agency permits shall be obtained, and plans 21
approved prior to construction on the site. 22
23
Councilmember Jenson stated he has a concern about the project. He would like to see some 24
certainty that AEON is moving forward with their proposal and it is going to happen for sure 25
before he would want to approve the PUD. Other than that, he agrees with the proposal but feels 26
the certainty is needed on the AEON project. 27
28
Mayor Faust stated with certainty, that cannot be offered this evening and that is a separate case. 29
It was noted that approval takes 4/5ths of Council vote and the City won’t know certainly on the 30
AEON project. Mayor Faust stated he would bet his last dollar based on the information that is 31
being processed and his understanding of it, that it will happen. He stated he wouldn’t do this 32
unless he was pretty sure it will come to pass and there will be some type of affordable housing. 33
34
Councilmember Jenson asked Mayor Faust when the discussions were held with AEON and 35
what was their timing. Mr. Casey stated there was no specific timeline but they would like to 36
move quickly due to various grants that would be available. He stated he is not privy to the 37
discussions between AEON/Bremer Bank and there was no indication of when a purchase 38
document would be done. 39
40
Mayor Faust noted May and June is when the grants are available from the Met Council. This is 41
the window in which the grant applications need to be done so they will need to move quickly. 42
Mayor Faust stated he has heard Bremer Bank also wants it to move quickly. 43
44
City Attorney Steger clarified the 4/5ths vote requirement applies to the final plat approval. The 45
general rules of Council apply to the preliminary plat approval. 46

5
A. Resolution 18-031; a Resolution In Support of the “Mayor’s Challenge for Water 6
Conservation.” 7
8
City Manager Casey reviewed Council is requested to consider a resolution in support of the 9
Mayor’s Challenge for Water Conservation. The seventh annual National Mayor’s Challenge for 10
Water Conservation is presented by the Wyland Foundation and Toyota, with support from the 11
U.S. EPA WaterSense, Toro Company, National League of Cities, ConservaIrrigation and Earth 12
Friendly Products (makers of ECOS), which is a healthy, non-profit competition for cleaner 13
communities and a water use and pollution reduction competition between cities. It was noted 14
that residents can register their participation online by making simple pledges to decrease their 15
water use and to reduce pollution for the period of one year. Between April 1-30, 2018 the City 16
of St. Anthony wishes to inspire its residents and neighboring communities to take the “Wyland 17
Mayor’s Challenge for Water Conservation” by making a series of online pledges at 18
mywaterpledge.com to reduce their impact on the environment and to see immediate savings in 19
their water, trash, and electricity bills. Information will be available on the City website. 20
21
Motion by Councilmember Gray, seconded by Councilmember Jenson, to approve Resolution 22

B. St. Anthony Police Department Annual Report 27
28
Police Chief Jon Mangseth presented the 2017 St. Anthony Police Department Annual Report. 29
He provided a department summary, part I and part II crimes, calls for service, patrol review, 30
investigation review, education summary, police reserves, social media, community engagement, 31
progress report, what’s on deck, and how residents can stay connected to the Police Department. 32
He also provided the current headcount due to staff losses, transfers, etc. The full Police 33
Department will be on the City Website on March 28, 2018. Police Chief Mangseth named the 34
achievements of many of the officers, staff, and reserve officers within the Department. 35
36
Councilmember Gray asked about the clearance rate and how that has trended over the past few 37
years. Chief Mangseth stated they have stayed within that 43 – 49%. Councilmember Gray stated 38
the Chief and his management staff have dealt with what has gone on during the past year in a 39
fantastic way, noting community engagement is not new to the Department. 40
41
Councilmember Jenson highlighted and read the strategic principles from the full report. 42
43
Mayor Faust stated the police officers have embraced the body cams and there won’t be an issue 44
of them turning them on. He added that the consistency in leadership creates a good environment 45

sent electronically to those that have requested the push-out. 7
8
Councilmember Randle had no report. 9
10
Councilmember Jenson stated on March 22, he attended the Legislative Conference along with 11

Commission and Worksession along with Councilmembers Randle and Gray. 13
14
Mayor Faust stated he attended the Legislative Conference during which they were able to 15
connect with many legislators. He explained the retainage fee and contacted Senator Laine. 16
17
VIII. COMMUNITY FORUM. 18
19
Mr. Thomas Issacson, 2604 Pahl Avenue, stated he appreciated the traffic study on 27th Avenue 20
and had concerns if there is another development on 27th Avenue. He noted there was discussion 21
of making it one-way and he is concerned with the street being used as a cut-through. He is also 22
concerned about the 80 school age kids who live in the neighborhood and their safety. Mr. 23
Issacson stated he would like to work with the City to address driver behavior. 24
25
Ms. Mary Jackson, 3605 37th Avenue, raised the issue of sidewalks, the construction project at 26
Wilshire School, and the sidewalk on Highcrest that has been demolished. She is concerned with 27
the bike and pedestrian traffic safety during this construction since there have been many high-28
risk situations with people walking on the street due to the absence of the sidewalk. Ms. Jackson 29
stated she believes there needs to be a temporary route per ADA requirements as it is a tragedy 30
waiting to happen. She suggested the development plans need to be reviewed for safety of 31
children. Mayor Faust asked Ms. Jackson if she spoke with the school district. Ms. Jackson 32
asked Mayor Faust to contact the school district and stated the sidewalk is public property as 33
well as the street. 34
35
Mr. Gene Bird, 2509 Silver Lane, asked Councilmember Randle if the Council or Mayor Faust 36
had asked him to submit an application for the Councilmember seat he now has. Councilmember 37
Randle responded no. 38
39
In regard to the Worksession held at the Marriott in Brooklyn Park, Mr. Bird wanted to know 40
what the Mayor and Council thought were the dividends from this retreat will be. Mayor Faust 41
stated the plan that comes out of it every year is shared with the residents. Mayor Faust stated it 42
saves a lot of money and helps the Council to move forward. 43
44

Page 14
Mr. Bird asked why tax money was spent for this retreat while under the current leadership, the 1
City has lost money, citing the lost contract with Falcon Heights was around $674,000. Mayor 2
Faust stated under his leadership, the City has received $31,000,000 in grants. 3
4
Mr. Bird asked if the retreat location in Brooklyn Park was primary to what was developed and 5
whether it was critical to hold the meeting outside St. Anthony. Mr. Bird was invited to come to 6
the April 21, Coffee with the Council. Mr. Bird explained he is concerned that the jaunt to 7
Brooklyn Park cost $25,000 - $30,000. 8
9
Mr. Bird asked why they used Dorsey & Whitney instead of the City Attorney. Mayor Faust 10
stated they are the City Attorney. Mr. Bird asked why the meeting could not have been in St. 11
Anthony and referenced Apollo 13. Mr. Bird stated he thinks Councilmember Stille gets it 12
wrong on that and he does not see Council listening to people. Mr. Bird stated he recently met 13
with Chief Mangseth regarding an issue, the Chief listened, and the issue was resolved. 14
15
Mr. Bird stated his opinion that the appointment of Councilmember Randle, who received 4% of 16
the vote vs. another person who got 29% of the vote, is not listening to the residents. He would 17
like to hear Council and Mayor thoughts on these issues. 18

MEMORANDUM
To: St. Anthony Village City Council, Honorable Mayor, City Manager Casey
From: Breanne Rothstein, AICP, City Planner
Date: City Council meeting on April 10, 208
WSB Project No. 011104‐00
Request: Request for a variance from the required rear yard setback to allow for
placement of a proposed sunroom at 3421 Skycroft Drive
RECOMMENDATION
The City Code requires a rear yard setback of 25 feet. The applicant is requesting a variance to construct
a sunroom that would encroach into the required rear yard setback to result in a rear yard depth of 7’ 4
5/8” feet. The Applicant’s request for a variance from the rear yard setback to allow for the
construction the sunroom is reasonable, per the findings listed in city code. Therefore, staff
recommends approval of the variance to encroach into the rear yard setback.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on March 26th, 2018, no one spoke for or against the
request, and the Planning Commission recommended approval of the application, unanimously.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Applicant/Owner: Thomas and Jennifer Gille
Location: 3421 Skycroft Drive
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: 2‐29‐2018
Action: 60 Days: 4‐29‐2018
Letter Sent: No
120 Days: NA
CONSIDERATIONS RELATING TO THE PROPOSED VARIANCE
1. Background
The Applicant proposes to construct approximetly 11’ 11 ¾” by 30’ 10” for a total of 372 square feet
sunroom at the back of house on the property located at 3421 Skycroft Drive. The sunroom addition
would put the outermost edge of the deck 7’ 4 5/8” from the rear property line. In the R‐1 Single
23
April 10, 2018
Page 2
Family Residential district, a 25’ setback from the rear property line is required. As the applicants
proposed sunroom addition is only 7’ 4 5/8” from the rear property line, a variance is necessary.
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 sunroom does not change the property owners reasonable use of their
property without a sunroom, a patio constructed at grade does not require the variance
process. Due to the requirement of this lot for two front yard setbacks, the request to
construct a small porch on the rear of the house is reasonable. Criterion met.
b. The plight of the property owner is due to circumstances unique to the property not
created by the property owner;
The plight of the property owner is 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, similar sunroom additions do exist
in the neighborhood particularly, the property to the north with similar setbacks has
constructed a similar sunroom/porch Criterion met.
d. Economic considerations alone are not the basis of the practical difficulties.
Granting the variance does not effect economic considerations, although it will increase
the resale value of the home thus increasing surrounding land values. The proposed
deck addition would make the house more appealing to potential buyers in the future. It
is the type of construction and the space that is designed that creates the practical
difficulty, not economic considerations alone. Criterion met.
3. The variance, if granted, would be consistent with the City’s comprehensive land use plan.
24
April 10, 2018
Page 3
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. Criterion met.
4. The granting of the variance is in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the zoning
code.
The intent of the zoning code is to protect the health, safety, and general welfare of the city and
its people through the establishment of minimum regulations governing land development and
use. The zoning code is established to: protect the use districts; promote orderly development
and redevelopment; provide adequate light, air, and access to property; prevent congestion in
the public streets; prevent overcrowding of land and undue concentration of structures by
regulating land, buildings, yards, and densities; and provide for compatibility of different land
uses.
Given these factors, this application is keeping with the intent of the ordinance to govern
orderly land development. Other properties in this location have constructed a deck close to
the property line. Criterion met.
POSSIBLE ACTIONS
1. Motion to adopt a resolution approving the variance as requested, for the property at 3421
Skycroft Drive.
2. Motion to deny the variance, based on the stated findings and direct staff to develop a
resolution denying the application
3. Request Additional Information and Table the Application. The applicant appears to have
provided enough information for the City Council to approve or deny the request.

independent senior housing, assisted senior housing/memory care, affordable units and market-
rate units. This project will undoubtedly spur nearby/adjacent development by increasing the
population of the neighborhood by several hundred to one thousand people, and population
influx is a key driver for commercial development and reinvestment. The project will also create
a significant tax base increase, raise property values on surrounding sites, and create quality jobs
with livable wages, thus boosting the local economy and making the neighborhood an attractive
place for investment and redevelopment.

17. What contaminants have been identified at the site? Elevated concentrations of petroleum
compounds, primarily diesel range organics (“DRO”), have been identified in soil in two distinct
Hot Spots. Elevated concentrations of volatile organic compounds (“VOCs”) have been
identified in soil vapor and groundwater, including concentrations of benzene, naphthalene,
1,3,5-trimethylenebenzene and total xylene in groundwater that exceed Health Risk Limits
established by Minnesota Department of Health, as well as concentrations of tetrachloroethene
(“PCE”) in soil vapor that exceed thirty-three times residential Intrusion Screening Values (“R-
ISVs”) and ten-times R-ISVs (the applicable action limit at the time the Phase II and Voluntary
Response Action Plan were written).
18. To qualify for cleanup funding, you must attach a copy of the RAP and written approval of
your Response Action Plan from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. A copy of the
RAP approval is attached.
19. What is the likely source of contamination?
Contamination likely originated from historic uses on the property by prior owners and historic
uses on adjacent properties, including the following:
Pilgrim Cleaners was located southwest-adjacent to the property at 2407 Lowry Ave NE
from 1965 to 1977 and Popko Cleaners was located south-adjacent to the property at
2510 Kenzie Terrace from 1983 to 1988. The regional groundwater flow is reportedly to
the southwest; however previous environmental investigations conducted for the property
indicated that shallow perched groundwater flow direction may be northerly. These
historic uses may be related to the PCE identified in soil vapor and groundwater at the
property.
Prior to The Village’s acquisition of the property, two former fuel oil underground
storage tanks (“USTs”) were removed from the laundry/shower building. Previous
57
FY 17
Cleanup - 6
investigations determined that at least one of the two USTs had leaked and released
product to soil and groundwater. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (“MPCA”)
closed the leak site in 2013, but contamination may have remained after closure.
20. Summary of Contamination Information:
A. Provide a concise description of the identified contamination and proposed RAP. The
description should include the occurrence of the contamination (i.e., are there distinct
areas of contamination or is contamination widely disseminated across the site? Is the
contamination at the surface or at depth?
Soil impacts above applicable MPCA criteria were identified in two distinct Hot Spot
locations, as shown on attached figures. The larger of the two Hot Spots is below the footprint
of a future residential building. The smaller of the two Hot Spots is adjacent to a residential
building in a future greenspace area. Impacts to soil vapor above MPCA action limits were
identified in two sampling locations, LGP-1 and SV-2, as shown on attached figures.
The following response actions (“RAs”) will be conducted at the property in according to the
MPCA-approved Voluntary Response Action Plan and Voluntary Response Action Plan
Addendum:
Soil with petroleum impacts above the cleanup goal (MPCA criteria for unregulated
excess fill) will be transported off-site to a permitted landfill from the following areas (as
shown on attached figures):
o RA Area 1: Soil located near a former underground storage tank in the northwest
portion of the property. Soil will be excavated as determined during RA
implementation activities to a maximum depth of 12 feet.
o RA Area 2: Soil located in the southwest corner of the property at LGP-2. Soil
will be excavated to a depth of 2 feet.
The quantity of contaminated soil is estimated at approximately 2,000 cubic yards.
Excavated soil meeting cleanup goals and the definition of unregulated fill will be reused
onsite or offsite whenever possible.
Excavation dewatering procedures will be implemented during RA activities and
construction. Because the groundwater contains low level concentrations of VOCs,
proper permitting, sampling and reporting for discharge will be required. It is likely
dewatering will be necessary for construction.
Install an active venting system in southern-most proposed building, nearest to the two
investigation locations where impacts to soil vapor exceeded applicable MPCA action

criteria.
As stated, prior to cleanup and construction, four structurally substandard buildings will be
demolished, including a concrete block garage/workshop building (2,112 square feet), a
residential duplex (2,586 square feet), a one-story rental office/commercial barber shop
building with a storm shelter in the basement (3,096 square feet), and a laundry/shower
building (2,925 square feet). Structures are currently vacant, dilapidated and would need
significant repairs if they were to be used any longer. Asbestos containing materials were
identified in three of the four buildings and will be properly abated prior to demolition.
B. Complete the following table for soil contamination (be sure to include areas of
contamination that have been identified at the site but will not be treated or removed as
part of the approved RAP):
Note: In order to reduce volume of data, the following tables contain data only for primary
contaminants of concern. For a full list of parameters identified at the property, refer to

FINANCIAL INFORMATION
33. Please submit a copy of the applicant’s most current audit, or financial statement if an audit
is not available. If this information is available electronically, you may submit the web
address in lieu of a paper copy. A financial report is attached.
34. Is there a possibility that the site will be cleaned up without DEED money? ☒ Yes ☐ No
63
FY 17
Cleanup - 12
Explain your answer to the question above.
Without DEED funding, The Village may be forced to reduce to the degree to which
contamination at the property is cleaned up. Additional contaminated soil may be left on site, and
this may necessitate a modification in the position and size of the proposed buildings, thus
delaying the development and potentially reducing the number of housing units created and
future tax capacity. Additionally, reducing the degree to which the property is cleaned up reduces
the positive impact of the redevelopment on the community and increases the likelihood that
contamination will need to be addressed during future modifications or redevelopments at the
property.
IV. DEVELOPMENT PLAN AFTER CLEANUP
35. Describe in detail the Development Plan for the site after implementation of the RAP?
(Number of buildings or housing units, square footage, etc.).
The Village intends to redevelop the property for residential use. Three residential buildings and
693 parking stalls will be constructed; one building (approximately 34,000 square feet in size)
will support 61 units of independent senior living, one building (approximately 47,000 square
feet in size) will support 128 units of assisted senior living, and one building (approximately
57,000 square feet in size) will support 146 units of market-rate housing and 79 units of
affordable housing. Buildings will be three and four stories tall. Of the 693 proposed parking
stalls, 407 stalls will be underground and 286 stalls will be surface parking.
The project will incorporate sustainable features and activities into building construction,
cleanup, and water usage whenever feasible. 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.
The Village was the primary interested party and conducted market analysis in order to
determine that the property be used residentially after development. The property is currently
zoned R-1 Single Family Residential and will be rezoned to Planned Unit Development to
accommodate a more flexible, creative, and efficient approach to land use. Preliminary approval
for the project was granted by the City on March 27, 2018.
The community will derive benefit from the redevelopment because it will provide a large
amount of quality, high-density housing to an in-demand and livable area of the City. Prior to
acquisition of the property, the property supported a blighted mobile home park with ageing
structures spread inefficiently across 15 acres. By redeveloping and remediating the property,
there will be vastly more housing available and the housing will be free of possible influence
from soil, soil vapor and groundwater contamination and therefore safer for residents. This
redevelopment will also create a significant tax base increase and create jobs at the property.
64
FY 17
Cleanup - 13
The density proposed meets the Comprehensive Plan guidance for Multi-Family Residential
properties, and the redevelopment is consistent with the City’s housing goals, which are to
achieve the housing goals of the Metropolitan Land Planning Act and Livable Communities Act,
to expand housing choices within the City, and integrate new development into existing
neighborhoods (as found in their 2008 Comprehensive Plan).
Redevelopment plans are attached.
36. Have all of the required local/city approvals necessary for this project to proceed been
obtained (planning commission, zoning, etc.) ☐ Yes ☒ No If not, what remains to be
done and what is the process for completing the process of obtaining approvals?
Preliminary Plat and PUD approval has been granted, the next step will be final plat
approval (expected May 2018).
37. What is the estimated cost of the Development (construction costs not including the cleanup
costs)? $98,929,989
Of these how much is public? $0 private? $98,929,989
38. Is all of the financing in place for the final development of the site? ☐ Yes ☒ No If yes,
attach evidence that funds for the project have been secured. If not, what is the process to
secure the funds and the timeline for securing them? The Village is waiting to secure
cleanup funding before they can commence construction (expected June/July 2018).
Options for construction financing have been identified. Letters of interest from funders are
attached.

9. If you answered YES to any of the questions in the above table, please clearly describe what
is needed and why, the timeline, and additional steps necessary or planned. For funding
sources contributing to the project, complete the attached Table 1 - Funding Sources
Summary.
(1) The Village is actively pursuing other sources of environmental funding other than ERF,
including Department of Employment and Economic Development Cleanup funding.
Funding decisions are expected by June/July 2018.
(2) The Village is waiting to secure cleanup funding before they can commence
construction. Options for construction financing have been identified. Letters of interest
from funders are attached and details are in provided in Table 1 – Funding Sources
Summary.
(3) Details of TIF financing are included above and in Table 1 – Funding Sources Summary.
10. Describe why ERF funding is needed. Although construction funding is committed for the
proposed redevelopment, successful cleanup of the property is contingent upon receiving
funding from the granting agencies. The cost of remediation is significant in order to comply
with Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (“MPCA”) requirements and to ensure that the
redevelopment is protective to human health. The remediation costs make the property
undevelopable without significant contributions of public funding.
11. Describe the effect on the project if ERF funds are not awarded.
Without ERF funding, The Village may be forced to reduce to the degree to which
contamination at the property is cleaned up. Additional contaminated soil may be left on
site, and this may necessitate a modification in the position and size of the proposed
buildings, thus delaying the development and potentially reducing the number of housing
units created and reducing future tax capacity. Additionally, reducing the degree to which
the property is cleaned up reduces the positive impact of the redevelopment on the
community and increases the likelihood that contamination will need to be addressed
during future modifications or redevelopments at the property.

Soil gas vapor VOCs
Regulated building
materials
NA
Other NA
16. Provide a brief synopsis of the site’s land use history and explain why the site is believed to
be contaminated (if the application is for an assessment grant) or how the site came to be
contaminated (if the application is for cleanup). The description should include the
occurrence of the contamination with respect to the site conceptual model and, where
applicable, the proposed development (i.e., are there distinct areas of contamination or is
contamination widely disseminated across the site? Is the contamination at the surface or at
depth?).
Please limit your response to 300 words. Refer to required table and figure attachments
as appropriate to aid in your discussion
Attached figures show investigation locations, areas of identified contamination relative to
the footprint of the property development, and Response Action (“RA”) areas.
80
The property was initially developed as a wooded campground with cabins prior to 1938. By
1947, the property supported both temporary structures (mobile homes) and permanent
structures (rental house, garage/tornado shelter, and bathhouse) and was used as a mobile
home park. Mobile home park uses continued at the property until 2017.
VOC impacts to groundwater and soil vapor at the property likely originated from
drycleaners that formerly operated adjacent to the property. Pilgrim Cleaners was located
southwest-adjacent of the property at the 2407 Lowry Ave NE from 1965 to 1977, and Popko
Cleaners was located south-adjacent to the property at 2510 Kenzie Terrace from 1983 to
1988. The regional groundwater flow is reportedly to the southwest; however, samples
collected from wells in the vicinity indicate that shallow perched groundwater may be
flowing from south to north.
Petroleum impacts to soil at the property likely originated from former underground storage
tanks (“USTs”). Two former fuel oil USTs were present in the former laundry/shower building.
Previous investigations determined that at least one of the two USTs leaked and impacted
soil and groundwater. The MPCA closed the leak site in 2013, but contamination may have
may remained after closure.
Soil impacts above applicable MPCA criteria were identified in two distinct Hot Spot
locations, as shown on attached figures. The larger of the two Hot Spots is below the
footprint of a future residential building. The smaller of the two Hot Spot is adjacent to a
residential building in a future greenspace area. Impacts to soil vapor above MPCA action
limits were identified in two sampling locations, LGP-1 and SV-2, as shown on attached
figures.
17. Has a party (or parties) responsible (RP) for the contamination been identified and, if so, is
the RP assisting with cleanup costs? If not, please explain.
Former drycleaners are no longer in business adjacent to the property. No cost recovery
measures can be conducted.
81
V. ADDITIONAL CONTAMINATION INFORMATION – CLEANUP APPLICANTS ONLY
For applicants requesting assistance for cleanup, completed the following additional questions:
18. Provide a concise description of the proposed RAP activities. Limit your response to 300
words. Include the following additional details:
a. Describe demolition activities necessary to perform the cleanup, including age,
condition of structures and required asbestos and/or lead paint abatement.
b. Describe efforts to reuse contaminated soils on site. If soil is not being reused, why is
this not feasible?
The following RAs will be conducted at the property according to the MPCA-approved Voluntary
Response Action Plan and Voluntary Response Action Plan Addendum:
Soil with petroleum impacts above the cleanup goal (MPCA criteria for unregulated
excess fill) will be transported off-site to a permitted landfill from the following areas (as
shown on attached figures):
o RA Area 1: Soil located near a former underground storage tank in the northwest
portion of the property. Soil will be excavated as determined during RA
implementation activities to a maximum depth of 12 feet.
o RA Area 2: Soil located in the southwest corner of the property at LGP-2. Soil will
be excavated to a depth of 2 feet.
The quantity of contaminated soil is estimated at approximately 2,000 cubic yards.
Excavated soil meeting cleanup goals and the definition of unregulated fill will be reused
onsite or offsite whenever possible.
Excavation dewatering procedures will be implemented during RA activities and
construction. Because the groundwater contains low level concentrations of VOCs,
proper permitting, sampling and reporting for discharge will be required. It is likely
dewatering will be necessary for construction.
Install an active venting system in southern-most proposed building, nearest to the two
investigation locations where impacts to soil vapor exceeded applicable MPCA action
criteria.
Prior to cleanup and construction, four structurally substandard buildings will be demolished,
including a concrete block garage/workshop building (2,112 square feet), a residential duplex
(2,586 square feet), a one-story rental office/commercial barber shop building with a storm
shelter in the basement (3,096 square feet), and a laundry/shower building (2,925 square feet).
82
According to Hennepin County property records, structures were constructed in 1950. Structures
are currently dilapidated and would need significant repairs if they were to be used any longer.
Asbestos containing materials were identified in three of the four buildings and will be properly
abated prior to demolition.
19. Complete the following table:
Total volume of contaminated soil
(cubic yards) identified:
2,000
Total volume of contaminated soil
(cubic yards) to be remediated (all
contaminant types):
2,000
VI. DEVELOPMENT FEATURES
20. Provide a brief, general description (i.e., executive summary) of the site conditions, planned
development, and project goals.
Please limit your response to 300 words and cover the following details:
Explain the planned use of the site after investigation and cleanup and how this was
determined (give examples of prospective developers, interested parties, zoning
requirements, etc.).
Describe how this project will incorporate sustainable activities and features in the
project design, construction and operation, and/or in the cleanup remedy. Sustainable
activities or project design may include but are not limited to: deconstruction and
salvaging for building and/or material reuse, development planning that incorporates
the cleanup remedy (i.e., building footprint/parking lot and site grading as capping
feature), and environmentally friendly building and site design (i.e., sustainable building
design and natural landscaping, green renovations and preservation, low/no stormwater
discharge management, and greenspace enhancement/development).
Describe how the community will derive benefit from the project. Describe to what
extent the project will remove blight. Also indicate other benefits such as green space
creation, affordable housing creation, tax base increase or other economic benefits that
83
help quantify the community benefit of your project.
If the project includes a residential component, indicate how the project contributes to
the local municipality’s approved livable communities housing mix goals and benefits
for the local community. Also complete the attached Table 3 – Housing Summary.
The Village intends to redevelop the property for residential use. Three residential buildings and
693 parking stalls will be constructed; one building will support independent senior living, one
building will support assisted senior living and memory care, and one building will support
market-rate and affordable housing. Buildings will be three and four stories tall. Of the 693
proposed parking stalls, 407 stalls will be underground and 286 stalls will be surface parking. A
unit matrix is provided in Table 3 – Housing Summary.
The project will incorporate sustainable features and activities into building construction,
cleanup, and water usage whenever feasible. 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.
The Village was the primary interested party and conducted market analysis in order to
determine that the property be used residentially after development. The property is currently
zoned R-1 Single Family Residential and will be rezoned to Planned Unit Development to
accommodate a more flexible, creative, and efficient approach to land use. Preliminary approval
for the project was granted by the City on March 27, 2018.
The community will derive benefit from the redevelopment because it will provide a large
amount of quality, high-density housing to an in-demand and livable area of the City. Prior to
acquisition of the property and demolition, the property supported a blighted mobile home
park with ageing structures spread inefficiently across 15 acres. By redeveloping and
remediating the property, there will be vastly more housing available and the housing will be
free of possible influence from soil, soil vapor and groundwater contamination and therefore
safer for residents. This redevelopment will also create a significant tax base increase and create
jobs at the property.
The density proposed meets the Comprehensive Plan guidance for Multi-Family Residential
properties, and the redevelopment is consistent with the City’s housing goals, which are to
achieve the housing goals of the Metropolitan Land Planning Act and Livable Communities Act,
to expand housing choices within the City, and integrate new development into existing
neighborhoods (as found in their 2008 Comprehensive Plan).
Redevelopment plans are attached.
84
21. Describe the proposed construction schedule. Discuss the potential for delays and other
issues that may arise. Describe what must occur before investigation and/or development
and cleanup activities can proceed:
City approvals must be finalized before The Village can proceed with cleanup and
redevelopment. No delays are anticipated. In concept, factors that could delay this schedule
include the inability to secure adequate public funding for cleanup or delays in obtaining the
necessary governmental approvals. However, The Village is committed to avoiding such delays
through tight communication with the City and the surrounding neighbors, and observance of
the City’s development review process.
Anticipated start date: 07/01/2018
85
