IV. PUBLIC HEARINGS. 2
3
A. Ordinance 2018-02 an Ordinance Setting Sewer, Water, Storm Water charges and 4
Establishment of Fee Amounts for 2019. 5
6
Mayor Faust opened the public hearing at 7:03 p.m. 7
8
Finance Director Shelly Rueckert reviewed the utility rates recommended for 2019 which 9
illustrates the multi-year approach towards rate adjustments that began in 2012. The parameters 10
used for adjusting rates are: Align revenue sources with corresponding costs; Provide 11
transparency as to the basis of rates and rate adjustments; Maintain a structural balanced 12
operation; Ensure that rates appropriately support the ability to provide safe drinking water, 13
properly discharge sanitary sewer flows and appropriately control and treat storm water runoff. 14
15
The Water Fund expenditures are comprised of two primary operating functions Production 16
$666,871 and Distribution $628,128. The current recommendation includes continuing the 17
phase-in of a quarterly fee to support distribution system costs and the quarterly water 18
distribution fee will increase by $3.35. Staff also recommends to continue to manage the growth 19
in usage rates to recognize the revenues provided by the phase in of the water distribution fee 20
and keeping the water usage tier rates the same as 2018. 21
22
The Sewer Fund expenditures are comprised of two primary operating functions Treatment 23
$784,407 and Collection $477,265. The current recommendation includes continuing the phase-24
in of the quarterly fee to support collection system costs and the quarterly sewer collection fee 25
will increase by $3.20. Staff also recommends to continue to manage the growth in usage rates to 26
recognize the revenues provided by the phase in of the Sewer collection fee and the sewer usage 27
rate will remain the same as 2018. 28
29
The multi-year approach to Storm water rates planned for the quarterly single-family residential 30
charge to increase by thirty-five cents ($.35) in 2019 represents a 2.22% increase in rate and the 31
2.22% rate increase will be applied to all levels of storm water charges. 32
33
Councilmember Stille commented the key points in the presentation are transparent and 34
structurally balanced. The money collected for sewer and water need to be used for those 35
purposes. This makes a lot of sense. St. Anthony is in the ballpark for rates compared to other 36
cities. He noted this is a challenging thing to budget for and the City encourages residents to 37
conserve water. 38
39
Councilmember Jenson stated the quarterly flat fee is to spread the cost equally among all users. 40
That also helps reduce the volatility of the water usage from weather changes. 41
42
Mayor Faust stated price per unit is always going to go up as less is used which is a good thing. 43
He hopes in the future people realize that sprinkling their yard isn’t in the best ecological interest 44
of society or sustainable. A lot of water is used to produce electricity. 45

V. REPORTS FROM COMMISSION AND STAFF. 9
10
A. Ordinance 2018-01; an Ordinance amending the Zoning Code, Sections 152.008 11
Definitions and 152.177 Permitted Encroachments in Yards, related to decks. 12
13
Planning Commissioner Neumann presented that currently there are no provisions for decks in 14
City Code, staff has been applying the principal structure setback to deck, an administrative 15
appeal of staff interpretation went to Planning Commission, the Planning Commission directed 16
staff to prepare provisions for decks and the Planning Commission reviewed the terms and 17
ordinance at the past two meetings. 18
19
The ordinance adds the following language to the City Code. 20
21
A definition of “deck” – DECK – A platform to and projecting from the wall of a building or 22
constructed on top of a building designed to be used by people which is part of the structure. For 23
the purpose of this Zoning Ordinance a deck is considered “attached” if any part of it is within 24
five (5) feet of an adjacent wall or building. An unattached platform or a platform attached to an 25
accessory structure, shall be considered an accessory structure. 26
27
Add language in “permitted encroachments” relating to decks – Decks which are not higher than 28
thirty (30) inches above grade at any given point along the grade are permitted to encroach into 29
the rear yard setback and the side yard setback, as long as a minimum side or rear yard setback of 30
5 feet is maintained. This encroachment does not apply in the R-1A Residential Lakeshore 31
District or to decks higher than thirty (30) inches above grade at any given point along the grade. 32
Such decks must comply with the setbacks for principal structures. 33
34
Planning Commissioner Neumann stated the Planning Commission held a public hearing in 35
October and took public comment from one person (administrative appeal applicant), and 36
recommended approval of the enclosed ordinance. 37
38
Councilmember Stille asked for clarification if a deck is detached from the house can it be 39
anywhere on the lot as long as it has a five-foot setback from the rear and side yard. Ms. 40
Neumann stated if it is not attached to the house, it would not be considered a deck. 41
Councilmember Stille stated the way he understands it, if it isn’t higher than thirty inches above 42
grade, it could be located anywhere on the lot, and be five feet from the property line. This 43
would be considered an accessory structure. 44
45

Councilmember Jenson referred to slide four and five. He asked what the difference is and Ms. 1
Neumann stated it depends if it is a deck or accessory structure. 2
3
Mayor Faust stated he is confused as to what a deck is and what an accessory structure is. He 4
stated it seems this Ordinance is being changed for one property and an Ordinance should work 5
for the entire City. He requested a definition of a deck. Mayor Faust stated the wording appears 6
that a 30 inch or lower deck could be put in any size in a yard. He is not sure if that is what the 7
Planning Commission intended. Mayor Faust noted at the last Planning Commission meeting one 8
member needed to leave early and three were absent and it seemed rushed without due diligence 9
being done to affect the entire City. 10
11
Councilmember Stille stated he did not think about the mass that could occur with this 12
Ordinance. He noted one could put a deck up that invades the neighbor’s privacy. He is 13
concerned some residents would come forward asking why this Ordinance was passed. He 14
believes it needs to be looked at from a global approach. 15
16
Mayor Faust stated there is an issue of a neighbor’s enjoyment of their property. He is reluctant 17
to see this Ordinance go forward due to many unanswered questions and unintended 18
consequences that were not considered. 19
20
Ms. Neumann stated this was discussed at two Planning Commission meetings. She noted also 21
discussed was the question if someone were to construct a deck on top of their garage, would that 22
be considered a deck or not. It was difficult to give detail as far as the definition of a deck and 23
what is attached and what is unattached. 24
25
Councilmember Gray asked if the privacy issues were discussed at all and Ms. Neumann stated it 26
was discussed. Ms. Neumann cited her own personal property and there would not be privacy 27
concerns in her area. Councilmember Gray stated it seems like it could be very close to the 28
neighbors. 29
30
Councilmember Randle asked if the Planning Commission heard from the owner or residents and 31
if this is for a specific resident’s property. City Manager Casey stated this was brought forward 32
because a resident asked for a deck variance and the resident submitted an administrative appeal. 33
Mr. Casey noted whatever applies to this property if the Ordinance is passed would apply to all 34
properties within the City’s residential areas. 35
36
Motion by Councilmember Jenson, seconded by Councilmember Gray, to table consideration of 37
First Reading of Ordinance 2018-01; an Ordinance amending the Zoning Code, Sections 152.008 38
Definitions and 152.177 Permitted Encroachments in Yards, related to decks and refer back to 39
the Planning Commission for consideration and further clarification and provide a definition of a 40
deck. 41
42
Motion carried 5-0. 43
44
Mayor Faust requested the size of the deck or accessory structure and privacy to neighbors 45
should be considered. 46

Councilmember Gray suggested pervious and impervious decks be addressed. 2

Councilmember Jenson stated he has a neighbor with a walkout with a deck attached to the house 4
and it is a story off the ground. Mr. Casey stated that would need to meet the principal structure 5
setbacks. 6

WSB PROJECT NO. 12064-000 PAGE 2
Introduction / Background
St. Anthony Village residents within the neighborhood located immediately east of St. Charles Borromeo Church along 27th Avenue NE, Pahl Avenue NE, Roosevelt Street NE, Wilson Street NE and Coolidge Street NE have raised concerns with the speed and volume traffic on these roadways. As a result, the St Anthony Village City Council requested a Traffic Study be prepared to evaluate the existing traffic conditions and recommend possible improvements for the 27th Avenue NE / Pahl Avenue NE area.
To address the residents’ concerns WSB collected necessary traffic volume, pedestrian and speed data, and; identify and evaluate traffic improvements/measures to improve the safety and operation on the area streets. In addition, data from the recently completed Lowery Grove EAW Traffic Study was used to document the traffic conditions on Stinson Boulevard and St. Antony Boulevard. The evaluation process focused on determining if and where traffic issues exist and if they could be improved or eliminated by the application of alternative traffic improvements. The Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MnMUTCD); Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) Design and Traffic Engineering Manuals; and traffic engineering standard practices and principal were used as the basis for the evaluation process. The steps in the process included: 1. Documenting that a problem exists such as excessive traffic volumes and/or speeds or vehicle crashes 2. Determine the frequency or recurring nature of the problem and that it is not a random or isolated event. 3. Identifying potential measures that would improve or eliminate the problem. This includes intersection controls and/or addressing other conditions at the problem locations. Any recommendations for changes in the 27th Avenue NE / Pahl Avenue NE area have been developed keeping the following goals in mind:
• Improvement to vehicle and pedestrian safety.
• Application of least restrictive control type possible.
• Traffic control consistency within the area.
• Would not promote cut-through or diversion of traffic to other streets in the area.
• Would not promote speeding on streets within the area. The 27th Avenue NE / Pahl Avenue NE area for the purposes of this study is bounded by St Anthony Boulevard on the north, 27th Avenue on the south, Stinson Parkway on the west and Kenzie Terrace on the east. The Project Location is shown in Figure 1. The following sections of this report document the existing traffic data collected, analysis of the data, improvement alternatives and recommended improvements.

Public Input Public input is a critical element in the identification of issues and concerns in the area. For the 27th Avenue NE / Pahl Avenue NE Traffic Study a public information meeting was held on July 16, 2018 at the St Anthony Village City Hall. There were 17 residents that signed in at the meeting. The primary purpose of the open house was to update the residents on the data collection, discuss the identified issues and concerns, outline the potential opportunities and, to receive input on the issues and concerns. The primary comments received include:
• Need for pedestrian / school zone improvements
• Need for blinker signs in the corridor
• Need for additional traffic counts on Roosevelt Street
• Concern with the posted speed limit
• Concern with traffic rolling through stop signs Copies of the meeting notice, sign-in sheets and presentation materials is included in the
Appendix. Also included are all comment cards received at the Open House meet, comment cards mailed to the City and phone/email comments received.

Existing Traffic Characteristics
In order to evaluate the current safety and operational conditions in the 27th Avenue NE / Pahl Avenue NE area, the existing traffic characteristics were collected. This included:
• Traffic volumes (hourly and daily)
• Heavy vehicle volumes
• Pedestrian volumes
• Crash history
• Vehicle speeds
• Current traffic control (signing, pavement markings, sidewalks, etc.).
Traffic Volumes Hourly turning movement and daily traffic volumes were collected over a two-week period from May 18, 2018 to May 31, 2018 for most of the area roadway system. Based on comments at the public information meeting additional traffic counts were collected over a one-week period from September 5, 2018 to September 11th, 2018. In both cases the counts were conducted when school was in session to assure a worst-case condition. In general, the counts show that the volumes in the area are at those of typical residential neighborhood streets. Typical residential streets will have traffic volumes between 500 and 1000 vehicles per day(vpd). The ADT volumes on the streets in the 27th Avenue NE / Pahl Avenue NE area range from less than 100 to 750vpd
Figure 2 shows the Average Daily Traffic (ADT) volumes for an average weekday, average Saturday and average Sunday in area. Included in the Appendix is a table showing a summary of the ADT traffic volumes per day.
Figure 3 shows the hourly traffic volumes on an average weekday for the AM peak hour (7:15am-8:15am), PM peak hour (4:30pm-5:30pm) and school peak hour (3:15pm – 4:15pm). Figure 4 the hourly traffic volumes on an average Saturday peak hour and average Sunday peak hour.
Heavy Vehicle Volumes Heavy vehicle traffic volumes were collected in conjunction with the average daily traffic counts. The vehicle classification was based on the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) standard vehicle splits. The standard FHWA Vehicle Classification table is included in the Appendix. Figure 5 shows the percent vehicles, percent single unit trucks / buses and percent of heavy trucks. Typical residential streets will have heavy vehicle traffic ranging from 2% to 5%. The percent heavy vehicles in the 27th Avenue NE / Pahl Avenue NE area range from 0 to 4.7%.

Pedestrian Volumes Pedestrian volumes were collected with the hourly turning movement counts conducted at the intersections in the study area. The data indicates that the pedestrian volumes are slightly higher during the afternoon school peak hour time. The heaviest volumes were recorded: along Roosevelt Street adjacent to the school; at the Stinson Parkway crossing at 27th Avenue NE, and; at the Roosevelt Street crossing at St Anthony Boulevard.
Figure 6 shows the hourly pedestrian volumes on an average weekday for the AM peak hour (7:15am-8:15am), PM peak hour (4:30pm-5:30pm) and school peak hour (3:15pm – 4:15pm). Figure 7 shows the hourly traffic volumes on an average Saturday peak hour and average Sunday peak hour.
Vehicle Speeds In conjunction with the daily traffic counts, vehicle speeds were also collected. Vehicle speed data is typically given as the 85% speed. The 85% speed represents the speed at which 85% percent of the counted vehicles are traveling at or below. Research indicates that this value is where most drivers will operate their vehicle in a reasonable manor. The posted speed limit on the area roadways is 30 mph which is the typical speed limit on most residential streets. The data indicates that most streets in the study area have vehicles that are traveling at or below the posted speed. The 85% speed ranges from 25.0mph to 32.4mph. Figure 8 shows the average 85% vehicle speed for the average weekday and weekend on the streets within the 27th Avenue NE / Pahl Avenue NE area. Included in the Appendix is a table showing a summary of the vehicle speeds per day.
Crash History Using the State of Minnesota Crash Mapping Analysis Tool (CMAT), crash data from the past 5 years (2011-2015) was documented. The data shows that over the past five years five locations have had at least one crash. The locations that have had more than one crash are at the intersections outside the study area including: Stinson Parkway at 27th Avenue NE; St Anthony Boulevard at Wilson Street, and; Kenzie Terrace at 27th Avenue NE. NE. Of the crashes reported the majority have been either rear-end or sideswipe type crashes.
Figure 9 shows the location of the crashes from 2011-2015 in the 27th Avenue NE / Pahl Avenue NE area. Table 1 show the crash data by year for each location. Table 2 shows the type of crash by location.

Identified Issues Issues were identified based on two primary sources including neighborhood input and the data collected. The issues and concerns identified include: 1. Vehicle traffic volumes 2. Speeding 3. Cut-through traffic 4. Pedestrian and bicycle traffic / circulation 5. School traffic 6. Adjacent development
Based on the data collected three primary issues were reviewed including, safety, speed and cut-through traffic. In order to determine the magnitude of the issues and the level of improvements needed, screening criteria was developed and discussed below.
Safety The safety of an intersection or roadway segment is defined by the number, frequency and type of crashes at a location. An intersection or roadway segment is not considered to have a safety issue if there have only been one or two crashes during any multiyear analysis period. However, if there have been more than three crashes the following criteria should be used to trigger further study of an intersection or roadway segment.
• One (1) crash per year for three or more years, or
• More than three (3) crashes in one year. Based on these criteria the only location in the study area that was identified for additional study is the intersection of Kenzie Terrace at 27th Avenue NE with 7 reported crashes. All other intersections or roadway segments had three crashes or less in the 5-year period.
Speed The 85% speed is used as the primary measure of the speed on a segment of street. If the 85% speed is greater than the posted (30mph) speed limit, then the street segment should be further studied. Based on this criterion the only roadway segment that had a 85% speed over 30mph was 27th Avenue NE between Roosevelt Street and Wilson Street at 32.4mph.
Cut-Through Traffic The potential for cut-through traffic was evaluated for the 27th Avenue NE / Pahl Avenue NE area. The study area is fairly captive with a limited number of street accesses in and out. Based on a review of the area there are approximately 92 homes in the study area that could use the area streets to St Anthony Boulevard, Stinson Parkway or Kenzie Terrace.
27th AVE NE / Pahl AVE NE AREA TRAFFIC STUDY
CITY OF ST ANTHONY VILLAGE
WSB PROJECT NO. 12064-000 PAGE 18
By using standard Institute of Transportation (ITE) trip generation factors for residential homes the number of estimated daily trips that could use the area roadway was determined to be approximately 920 vehicles per day (vpd). Comparing this the existing traffic count on the adjacent streets in and out of the area, it can be concluded that the level of traffic entering or exiting the area does not indicate a cut-through issue. However, reviewing the hourly peak hour turning movement counts there appears to be two routes that may be experiencing some cut-through traffic. The first route is between St Anthony Boulevard and Kenzie Terrace using Coolidge Street to 27th Avenue NE. The second is between St Anthony Boulevard and Stinson Parkway using Wilson Street to 27th Avenue.

WSB PROJECT NO. 12064-000 PAGE 19
Improvement Opportunities For each of the identified issues there are several low cost, low impact improvement opportunities that could be implemented depending on further analysis of the conditions and data. Discussed below are some of the possible improvement opportunities and the criteria for implementations.
Vehicle Safety Improvements Safety improvements include items that could provide potential benefits by reducing the number of crashes. These improvements would include:
1. Removing obstructions – When the analysis indicates that a sight line issue is present at an intersection; where possible the sight line triangle should be cleared of obstructions. Based on a typical 25mph/30 mph city street the sight triangle is a distance between 30’ and 50’ (depending on right of way width) measured along the right of way line at the intersection. This distance should be based on calculations from the AASHTO “A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets” Green Book. If clearing the obstruction is not possible, further consideration to other intersection control should be explored.
2. Advance warning signs – Advance warning signs could include “Stop Ahead”, “Intersection Ahead”, etc. These signs would be installed where intersection control is typically in place and/or crashes indicate that sight lines to the intersection may be an issue.
3. “Blinker” signs – Blinker signs are typically used where vehicles need additional warning or in extreme cases with limited sight distance and higher traffic volumes. They can be used on either warning signs (advanced signs) or regulatory signs (stop or yield signs).
4. Pavement markings – This could include either center line or edge line markings. They would typically be used where crashes indicate issues with vehicles staying in their own lane.
5. Lighting – Intersection lighting could be used to clearly locate an intersection at night. Typically, lighting could be installed where there are a significant number of crashes occurring at night.
27th AVE NE / Pahl AVE NE AREA TRAFFIC STUDY
CITY OF ST ANTHONY VILLAGE
WSB PROJECT NO. 12064-000 PAGE 20
6. Yield signs – Yield signs are typically used in locations where there is confusion on which vehicle approaching the intersection has the right of way. These signs can be used to help clearly assign the right-of-way at an intersection with a balanced traffic flow on all approaches.
7. Stop signs – The Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices outlines warrants for the installation of stop signs. These warrants include criteria for installation of both all-way or 2-way stops. In addition, stop signs could be considered where sight distance cannot be improved.
8. Turn Lanes/By-Pass Lanes – The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) Road Design Manual and Local Road Research Board have established criteria for the addition of turn lanes or by-pass lanes based on traffic volumes and crash data. Specifically, the number of turning vehicles vs opposing vehicles and/or rear-end type crashes.
Speed Reduction Improvements Speed improvements include items that would provide potential benefits by reducing speeding in the neighborhood. These improvements could include:
1. Speed limit signs – In locations where the ADT volume is over 750 vehicles per day and there is currently not a posted speed limit sign and the 85% speed is over the posted speed limit, consideration should be given to installing speed limit signs.
2. Driver feed-back (dynamic) speed signs – Driver feed-back signs are signs that display the actual speed of a vehicle as it drives by the location. On neighborhood streets where the 85% speed is determined to be greater than 3mph above the posted speed limit, a driver feed-back sign could be used to warn the driver that they are speeding.
3. Additional enforcement – Based on the traffic speed data collected if the 85% speed is up to 3mph over the posted speed limit, consideration should be given to requesting additional police enforcement.
Pedestrian Safety Improvements Pedestrian safety improvements include items that would provide potential benefits by reducing conflicts between vehicles and pedestrians or increasing awareness of pedestrians in the neighborhood. These improvements could include:
27th AVE NE / Pahl AVE NE AREA TRAFFIC STUDY
CITY OF ST ANTHONY VILLAGE
WSB PROJECT NO. 12064-000 PAGE 21
1. School Speed Zone Signing – The City may establish school speed limits within a school zone of public or non-public school on a basis of engineering and traffic investigations based on the following parameters: The school speed zone shall only be in effect when children are present going to or leaving the school; school speed zones cannot lower the posted speed zone more than 30 mph and shall not be established below 15 mph; school zones are defined as a segment of street or highway that abuts school grounds where children have access to the roadway or where a school crossing is in place; school speed zone signing and stripping must be in accordance with the Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MMUTCD), and; any traffic violations of a school speed limit are subject to a double fine.
2. Pedestrian-activated Flashing LEDs in the Border of a
Warning Sign - Section 2A.07 in the MnMUTCD describes the use of flashing white or yellow LEDs in the border of a pedestrian crossing warning sign. The flashing LEDs may be pedestrian activated to increase their effectiveness in making the crossing sign more conspicuous when pedestrians desire to cross the roadway.
3. Signed and Marked Crosswalks – Signed and
marked pedestrian crosswalks may be used to
delineate preferred pedestrian paths across
roadways under the following conditions: at
locations with stop signs or traffic signals to direct
pedestrians to those crossing locations and to
prevent vehicular traffic from blocking the
pedestrian path when stopping for a stop sign or
red light; at non-signalized street crossing locations
in designated school zones, or; at non-signalized locations where engineering judgment
dictates that the number of motor vehicle lanes, pedestrian exposure, average daily traffic
(ADT), posted speed limit, and geometry of the location would make the use of specially
designated crosswalks desirable for traffic/pedestrian safety and mobility.
4. Sidewalk / Path Construction – In areas where pedestrian volumes and vehicle volumes are at a level where safety of the pedestrian is jeopardized, construction of a separated sidewalk or path can be considered. Sidewalks or paths provide many benefits including safety, mobility, and healthier communities. In addition to reducing walking along roadway crashes, sidewalks reduce other pedestrian crashes. Providing walkways for pedestrians dramatically increases how well pedestrians perceive their needs are being met along roadways.

Issue Analysis/Conclusions Based on the identified issues and the criteria discussed above for each improvement opportunity, the following analysis conclusions were made:
• Safety Issues: As indicated, the only location that was identified with safety (crash) issues is the intersection of Kenzie Terrace at 27th Avenue NE. The majority of the crashes are northbound or southbound on Kenzie Terrace. There are no other trends with the crashes such as time of day or day or week or time of year. Based on the number of vehicles on Kenzie Terrace and with the type and number of crashes a request should be made to Hennepin County to consider a safety improvements at the intersection.
• Speeding Issues: As indicated by the neighborhood concerns and verified with the collected data, the speed of traffic on 27th Avenue between Roosevelt Street and Wilson Street has an 85% speed over the posted 30mph limit. Based on the traffic volume review it was documented that most of the traffic on these streets is local to the neighborhood. These should be people that know the area and what the speed limit and road conditions are. Based on the review of the alternatives available there are two improvements that could be considered. 1. Additional Enforcement – With the majority of the streets in the 27th Avenue NE / Pahl Avenue NE area having an 85% speed below the posted 30mph speed limit, and; with the majority of the traffic being local to the area, and; with the recommended installation of the School Speed Zone (see below); additional enforcement should be implemented. The streets should continue to be monitored and evaluated to determine if the speed limit is reduced. 2. Driver Feed-Back (DFB) Signs – Should the 85% speed not be reduced with the additional enforcement. DFB signs could be considered. Research has shown that installation of DFB signs can reduce the 85th speed by up to 3mph. This would reduce the 85% speed on 27th Avenue NE to below the posted speed limit. If this alternative is implemented, a temporary DFB should be installed as a test to determine if the installation provides the benefit anticipated.
• Pedestrian Safety: Based on the pedestrian and vehicle data collected consideration should be given to providing accommodation and/or awareness of pedestrians, especially adjacent to the St. Charles Borromeo Church and School.
There are two primary options for improving the safety for pedestrian traffic in the area.
27th AVE NE / Pahl AVE NE AREA TRAFFIC STUDY
CITY OF ST ANTHONY VILLAGE
WSB PROJECT NO. 12064-000 PAGE 23
1. School Speed Zone Establishment – Based on the State requirements and the
MnMUTCD the City can establish a school speed zone adjacent to the St. Charles
Borromeo School on 27th Avenue NE between Stinson Parkway and Roosevelt
Street. Based on the traffic volumes and speeds a 20mph school speed zone is
recommended as a solution to improve safety of the students and pedestrians
adjacent to 27th Avenue NE.
2. Construction of a Sidewalk Connection – Currently there is sidewalk connections in the 27th Avenue NE / Pahl Avenue NE area located: on the north side of 27th Avenue NE between Stinson Parkway and Roosevelt Street adjacent to the St Charles Borromeo Church and School; on both sides of Stinson Parkway between 27th Avenue NE and St Anthony Boulevard adjacent to St Charles Borromeo Church and School; on both sides of St Anthony Boulevard between Stinson Parkway and Kenzie Terrace. Based on pedestrian data collected and standard practices construction of sidewalk connections could be considered in the area. This would need to be requested by the adjacent land owners.
• Cut-Through Traffic: As discussed in the issues identification section most of the traffic in the 27th Avenue NE / Pahl Avenue NE area is local from the neighborhood. However, based on a review of the traffic volume data there appears to be to two possible cut-through routes. 1. Between St Anthony Boulevard and Kenzie Terrace using Coolidge Street to 27th Avenue NE. – The traffic using this cut-through route appears to be trying to avoid the traffic signal at St Anthony Boulevard and Kenzie Terrace. In order to discourage this cut-through route it will require making it less desirable. An option to address this issue would be to install “Stop” signs on Coolidge Street at the Pahl Avenue NE intersection making it an all-way stop consistent with the adjacent intersection. 2. Between St Anthony Boulevard and Stinson Parkway using Wilson Street to 27th Avenue – The traffic using this route appears to be avoiding the intersection of St. Anthony Boulevard and Stinson Parkway. It is unclear if this traffic is actually cutting through or destined for St Charles Borromeo Church and School. One of the concerns is with this traffic using the alleys between Wilson Street and Roosevelt Street. An option to address this issue would be to install “No Thru Traffic” signs on both ends of the two alleys between Wilson Street and Roosevelt Street.
Concern has also been raised that as the adjacent area continues to develop, traffic will used 27th Avenue NE as a cut-through. Based on the Traffic Study completed for the Lowry Grove project the majority of the traffic (approximately 85%) is entering and exiting the area from the south and west. The remining traffic will access the Lowry Grove site from Stinson Parkway or Kenzie Terrace. There is no advantage for traffic to cut-through on 27th Avenue to access the Lowry Grove site.

Recommendations Based on the issues analysis and the analysis conclusions, the following low impact, low cost improvements are recommended for the 27th Avenue NE / Pahl Avenue NE area.
Figure 11 shows the location for the proposed improvements.
Safety Improvements
• Continue working with Hennepin County on the future improvements at Kenzie Terrace and 27th Avenue NE.
Speed Improvements
• Provide additional speed enforcement in the area.
• Develop a policy for the use of and possible installation of driver feed-back signs in the City.
Pedestrian Improvements
• Develop City policy for the location of a School Speed Zone (20mph). This may be applied to 27th Avenue NE and Stinson Boulevard.
• Changes to Stinson Boulevard will require approval from the Minneapolis Park Board.
Cut-Through Traffic
• Review additional signage on northbound and southbound Coolidge Street at Pahl Avenue NE.
• Consider “No Thru Traffic” signs on both ends of the alleys between Wilson Street and Roosevelt Street.
• Continue to monitor the traffic in the 27th Avenue NE / Pahl Avenue NE area as the adjacent development continues.

TRAFFIC DEVICE INSTALLATION POLICY
INTERSECTION CONTROL POLICY
PURPOSE
This document outlines policies for determining the location and type of intersection control signage on
roadways owned and maintained by the City of St. Anthony Village. The City of St. Anthony Village is
implementing this policy for several reasons:
Effective traffic control is achieved by exercising the least intrusive control to achieve safe traffic
flow. When excessive control or unnecessary control is used, motorists feel imposed upon and
frequently will ignore the traffic control device. This can lead to severe consequences involving
collisions and possibly personal injury.
Consistent application of intersection control devices increases safety to both motorists and
pedestrians within the community.
Research conducted by the Federal Highway Administration shows that adding stop signs are not
effective in addressing the issue of speed. The purpose of stop signs is to assign right‐of‐way at an
intersection, not to control speeding.
The Federal Highway Administration also concluded that adding stop signs do not necessarily
improve safety at an intersection.
A common misconception is that stop signs at an intersection are needed because an accident has
occurred there recently. It is important to keep in mind that accidents are random events. Many
collisions are the result of driver error and are not the fault of poor design or insufficient traffic
control.
Public understanding of the function of stop signs is one of the most critical elements in reducing
speeding and traffic accidents.
A consistent application of the policy serves both the motorist and resident within the City. Stop signs
can be an effective safety measure if properly warranted. However, they should not be installed
inappropriately where they may be ignored by drivers, needlessly interrupt traffic flow, and negatively
affect fuel consumption, the environment, or cause needless noise.
The traffic control at an intersection is critical to the operation of both intersecting roadways. If
incorrect traffic control is installed for the existing traffic conditions and topographic characteristics of
the intersection, undue delays and even unnecessary accidents could occur. The traveling public,
especially persons not familiar with the area, typically drive based on instinct. Drivers subconsciously
evaluate their surroundings to determine if a stop sign should or should not be located on an
intersection approach.

Our mission is to be a progressive and welcoming Village that is walkable, sustainable, safe.
PROCESS
City staff will formalize the traffic safety concern or request. City staff will assist concerned residents to
complete a “Traffic Study Request Form” (appendix A) and gather the pertinent facts to help clearly
define the problem and seek a possible solution. Traffic Study Request forms will be reviewed by the
City Manager (or designee), Public Works Director, Police Chief and City Engineer. City staff will
complete an “Intersection Control Justification Worksheet” (Appendix C) and share the results with all
interested parties. If a disagreement with the decision or additional information and/or facts that are
persuasive as related to the City warrants/policies for the requested sign, interested parties may appear
at a City Council meeting and present viewpoint. Any subsequent review of the same or similar request
is at the discretion of the City Council.
The City Council is the final authority on traffic safety matters, in all cases of traffic control changes to
intersections under City of St. Anthony Village jurisdiction, approval by resolution by Council shall be
required. Requests for removal of a sign will follow the same process.
POLICY
The following information explains St. Anthony Village’s policies on intersection traffic control and the
correct use of stop signs.
LOCAL STREET “RESIDENTIAL” STOP SIGNS
The purpose of the local street stop sign policy is to provide fair and uniform treatment of all
requests for stop signs in residential areas.
1. The provisions of the Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) shall be
followed. Relevant speed, volumes, accident records and sight obstructions shall be reviewed
when considering the installation of a stop sign. The following MUTCD standards will be applied:
a. If an intersection experiences five (5) or more right angle accidents in a three (3) year
period, stop signs should be considered.
b. If the presence of a sight obstruction is contributing to accidents at an intersection, removal
of the sight obstruction should be sought before considering a stop sign.
c. If the 85th percentile speed on any leg of an intersection is more than five (5) MPH over the
posted speed limit, a stop sign should be considered for the intersecting street.
d. If traffic volumes exceed 500 vehicles per day on each of the intersecting streets, stop signs
should be considered.
2. Absent traffic data which clearly indicates the need for a stop sign, a residential intersection
should be left uncontrolled.
3. Residential stop signs shall not be installed in an attempt to control speed.
4. Residential stop signs shall not be installed in an attempt to control volume.
5. Residential stop sign appropriateness will be reviewed as part of any street reconstruction.

COLLECTOR STREET STOP SIGNS
The purpose of the collector street stop sign policy is to provide fair and uniform treatment of all
requests for multiway, all way, and 4‐way stop signs.
1. The provisions of the Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) shall be
followed. Relevant speed, volumes, accident records and sight obstructions shall be reviewed by
City Staff when considering the installation of a stop sign.
2. Any of the following conditions may warrant a multiway stop sign installation:
a. An accident problem, as indicated by five or more reported accidents in a 12‐month period
of a type susceptible to correction by a multiway stop installation. Such accidents include
right‐ and left‐turn collisions as well as right angle collisions.
b. Minimum traffic volumes:
1) The total vehicular volume entering the intersection from all approaches must average
at least 500 vehicles per hour for any 8 hours of an average day, and
2) The combined vehicular and pedestrian volume from the minor street or highway must
average at least 200 units per hour for the same 8 hours, with an average delay to minor
street vehicular traffic of at least 30 seconds per vehicle during the maximum hours, but
3) When the 85‐percentile approach speed of the major street traffic exceeds 40 miles per
hour, the minimum vehicular volume warrant is 70 percent of the above requirements.
3. Multiway stop signs shall not be installed in an attempt to control speed.
4. Multiway stop signs shall not be installed in an attempt to control volume.
5. Absent traffic data, which clearly indicates the need for a multiway stop sign, control devices at
an intersection will remain unchanged.
6. Multiway stop sign appropriateness will be reviewed as part of any street reconstruction.

DRIVER FEEDBACK SIGN INSTALLATION POLICY
PURPOSE
The purpose of this policy is to outline the processes and procedures for installing Driver Feedback (DFB)
signs as a traffic calming device. The City of St. Anthony Village is implementing this policy for several
reasons:
Currently local City streets in the City of St. Anthony Village have a speed limit of 30 mph. On some
of these streets the speed of traffic is a concern that maybe actual or perceived.
Driver feedback signs are traffic calming devices designed to slow speeders down by alerting them
of their speed. They are designed to increase driver speed awareness and roadway safety in
residential communities, schools, hospital zones, business parks, highway and road construction
sites, police enforcement zones or just about anywhere speeding is a problem.
Vehicle speeds on local City streets are determined based upon guidelines from Minnesota Statutes,
Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) policies and Minnesota Manual on Uniform
Traffic Control Devices (MnMUTCD) (see Appendix B).
DFB signs display the speed of approaching vehicles, making speeding drivers aware that they are
exceeding the speed limit.
DFB signs may be used to address excessive mean speed and 85th percentile speed issues. Studies
have shown that: speeders will slow down up to 80% of the time when alerted by a radar sign;
typical speed reductions are from 10‐20%, and; overall compliance with the posted speed limit will
go up by 30‐60%.
PROCESS
City staff will have primary responsibility for determining the need for installation of DFB’s on St
Anthony Village city streets. City staff will assist concerned residents to complete a “Traffic Study
Request Form” (Appendix A) and gather the pertinent facts to help clearly define the problem and seek
a possible solution. Traffic Study Request forms will be reviewed by the City Manager (or designee),
Public Works Director, Police Chief and City Engineer.
It is the policy of the City of St Anthony Village to follow the guidelines and recommendations contained
in the most current approved Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MnMUTCD) to
make decisions on design, locations, installation and maintenance of signs, pavement markings and
traffic calming devices. Minnesota State Statute 169.06, Sub. 3 states, "All traffic control devices
erected shall conform to the state manual and specifications." (Appendix B)
Following a determination that the street segment meets the eligibility guidelines; City staff will
complete a Driver Feedback sign justification and share the results with all interested parties. If a
disagreement with the decision or additional information and/or facts that are persuasive as related to
the City warrants/policies for the requested installation, interested parties may appear at a City Council
meeting and present viewpoint. Any subsequent review of the same or similar request is at the
discretion of the City Council.
3301 Silver Lake Road, St. Anthony, Minnesota 55418‐1699 www.savmn.com (612) 782‐3301 Fax (612) 782‐3302
Our mission is to be a progressive and welcoming Village that is walkable, sustainable, safe.
The City Engineer or designee is responsible for coordinating with other agencies (park board, state and
county) when a traffic evaluation request is received regarding a park board, state or county roadway
within the city limits.
The City Council is the final authority on traffic safety matters, in all cases of traffic changes to streets
under City of St. Anthony Village jurisdiction, approval by resolution by Council shall be required.
Requests for removal of a sign will follow the same process.
EVALUATION
If a speed concern is identified where a Driver Feedback (DFB) sign is an appropriate solution, the
following guidelines should be followed:
Step 1 ‐ Eligibility:
In order for a roadway to be eligible for consideration of a DFB, it needs to meet the following minimum
criteria.
Classified as a local or collector street
Length greater than 1,000 feet
Traffic volumes greater than 1,000 vehicles per day
Posted speed of 30 mph
Cannot be a cul‐de‐sac
Step 2 ‐ Data Collection:
For eligible roadway segments, available data should be collected including:
Average Daily Traffic Volume
Crash History
Pedestrian Traffic Volumes (if applicable)
Vehicle Speeds
Site Topography
Step 3 ‐ Evaluation Process:
If the roadway is eligible for consideration for a DFB sign, a study will be conducted using the collected
data. In analyzing the speed data, the 85th percentile speed and Pace of the traffic of the collected data
will be calculated. Pace and 85th Percentile speed are defined as follows:
Pace – The 10 MPH range of speeds containing the largest number of observations
85th Percentile Speed – The speed at or below which 85 percent of the traffic is moving.
Typically, the 85th Percentile Speed is within two miles per hour of the upper limit of the Pace. A normal
speed distribution will contain approximately 70% of the sample within the Pace with 15% above and
15% below.

Our mission is to be a progressive and welcoming Village that is walkable, sustainable, safe.
Based on the data collected for streets with a posted speed limit of 30 mph the following criteria will be
used to determine if a DFB sign or other mitigations should be considered:
1. 85% Speed less than 30 mph with less than 15% over the Pace:
No further action required
2. 85% Speed between 30 mph and 33 mph with less than 15% over the Pace:
Continue to monitor location
Additional enforcement
3. 85% Speed between 33 mph and 35 mph with more than 15% over the Pace:
Installation of Driver Feedback Signs
4. 85% Speed is greater than 35 mph with more than 15% over the Pace:
Installation of Driver Feedback Signs
Consider evaluation for potential engineering solutions.
Step 4 – Implementation/Funding:
Upon the recommendation of City staff and approval by the City Council, the appropriate measures will
be implemented by the City once funding is secured. Possible funding sources include:
Inclusion in the City’s Capital Improvement Plan (CIP)
Special request from the City Council
Assessment process

SPEED LIMIT DETERMINATION
The City of St Anthony Village will address speed limit related concerns based upon guidelines
from Minnesota Statutes, Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) policies,
Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MnMUTCD), and engineering
judgement.
The basis for setting a speed limit follows the Minnesota State Statutes and the MnMUTCD. The
following segments of information were taken from the Minnesota Statutes and MnMUTCD,
those of which apply to the City of St Anthony Village. A exert from the FHWA discussing best
practices is also included showing how engineering studies are used to set new speed limits or
change existing ones.
Minnesota Statues:
169.011 DEFINITIONS
Subdivision 64. Residential Roadway
A “residential roadway” is a city street or town road whose length is up to a half‐mile.
169.14 SPEED LIMITS, ZONES; RADAR.
Subdivision 1. Duty to drive with due care.
No person shall drive a vehicle on a highway at a speed greater than is reasonable and prudent
under the conditions. Every driver is responsible for becoming and remaining aware of the
actual and potential hazards then existing on the highway and must use due care in operating a
vehicle.
In every event speed shall be so restricted as may be necessary to avoid colliding with any
person, vehicle or other conveyance on or entering the highway in compliance with legal
requirements and the duty of all persons to use due care.
Subdivision 2. Speed limits.
(a) Where no special hazard exists the following speeds shall be lawful, but any speeds in excess
of such limits shall be prima facie evidence that the speed is not reasonable or prudent and that
it is unlawful; except that the speed limit within any municipality shall be a maximum limit and
any speed in excess thereof shall be unlawful:
(1) 30 miles per hour in an urban district;
(Subdivisions 2.2‐2.7 do not apply here, therefore were excluded)
(8) 35 miles per hour in a rural residential district if adopted by the road authority
having jurisdiction over the rural residential district.
(c) A speed limit adopted under paragraph (a), clause (8), is not effective unless the road
authority has erected signs designating the speed limit and indicating the beginning and end of
the rural residential district for the roadway on which the speed limit applies.

MnMUTCD:
2B.13 Speed Limit Sign
A Standard: Speed zones (other than statutory speed limits) shall only be established on the
basis of an engineering study that has been performed in accordance with traffic engineering
practices.
The engineering study shall include an analysis of the current speed distribution of free‐flowing
vehicles.
The speed limit (R2‐1) sign shall display the limit established by law, ordinance, regulation, or as
adopted by the authorized agency based on the engineering study. The speed limits displayed
shall be in multiples of 5 mph. Speed Limit signs, indicating speed limits for which posting is
required by law, shall be located at the points of change from one speed limit to another.
An Option: Other factors that may be considered when establishing speed limits are the
following:
Road characteristics, shoulder condition, grade, alignment, and sight distance
The pace speed
Roadside development (nearby school) and environment
Parking practices and pedestrian activity (mainly children)
Reported crash experience for at least a 12‐month period
Methods and Practices for Setting Speed Limits: An Informational Report by the FHWA Safety
Program:
Most engineering approaches to speed limit setting are based on the 85th percentile speed—
the speed at which 85 percent of free‐flowing traffic is traveling at or below. The typical
procedure is to set the speed limit at or near the 85th percentile speed of free‐flow traffic.
Adjustments to either increase or decrease the speed limits may be made depending on
infrastructure and traffic conditions.
The 85th percentile speed method is also attractive because it reflects the collective judgment
of the vast majority of drivers as to a reasonable speed for given traffic and roadway conditions.
This is aligned with the general policy sentiment that laws (i.e., speed limits) should not make
people acting reasonably into law‐breakers. Setting a speed limit even 5 mph below the 85th
percentile speed can make almost half the drivers illegal; setting a speed limit 5 mph above the
85th percentile speed will likely make few additional drivers legal.
Under the operating speed method of setting speed limits, the first approximation of the speed
limit is to set the speed limit at the 85th percentile speed. The MnMUTCD recommends that the
speed limit be within 5 mph of the 85th percentile speed of free‐flowing traffic. The posted
speed limit shall be in multiples of 5 mph.

Our mission is to be a progressive and welcoming Village that is walkable, sustainable, safe.
While the MnMUTCD recommends setting the posted speed limits near the 85th percentile
speed, and traffic engineers say that agencies are using the 85th percentile speed to set speed
limits, the speed limit is often set much lower. At these locations, the 85th percentile operating
speeds exceed the posted speed limits; and, in many cases, the 50th percentile operating speed
is either near or exceeds that posted speed limit as well. Many agencies deviate from their
agency's written guidelines and instead post lower speed limits. According to an ITE Engineering
Council Technical Committee survey, these reduced speed limits are often the result of political
pressures.
NOTE: Federal and State speed limit guidelines define the 85th percentile speed as a
“reasonable speed” or the speed in which 85% of motorists travel at or below. Experience has
shown that the 85th Percentile Speed most closely provides for a safe and reasonable speed
limit. Therefore, it can be expected that on a typical roadway, approximately 15 percent of the
vehicles may be traveling at speeds greater than the posted speed limit.
It is important to note that setting speed limits lower than 85th percentile speed does not
encourage compliance with the posted speed limit.

MEMORANDUM
To: St. Anthony Village City Council
From: Molly Just, AICP, City Planner
Date: November 18, 2018
City Council Regular Meeting for November 27, 2018
WSB Project No. 002170-230: Comprehensive Plan Update
Recommendation: Approve the St. Anthony 2040 Comprehensive Plan and Authorize
Submission to Metropolitan Council for Formal Action
Background. A comprehensive plan is the city’s guiding policy document related to the built
environment. State law requires preparation of a comprehensive plan every ten years. This is an update
of the comprehensive plan adopted by the City of St. Anthony Village in 2008. The current
comprehensive plan was preceded by a plan adopted in 1998, and prior to that a plan in 1979. St.
Anthony is a desirable place to live, work and play in part because of a strong history of planning. Long-
range planning has provided certainty and direction to homeowners and investors and helped the City
make cost-effective investments in streets, parks and utilities.
The purpose of a comprehensive plan is to cast a vision and to establish policy direction for those
elements over which the City has jurisdiction. These primarily include the pattern of land development
and public facilities such as streets, utilities and parks. Land development is regulated through the City’s
zoning ordinance and map, which is prepared or amended with guidance from the comprehensive land
use plan map and policies.
Recent development interest in St. Anthony, particularly the re-development of the Lowry Grove, and
development trends toward re-development, has sparked interest in the importance and value of the
Comprehensive Plan as a guiding vision document for growth and development in the city. This interest
has generated a high level of community engagement and input into the plan. Given this, the city
undertook a major update and overhaul of the comprehensive plan.
Process. A comprehensive planning process is strengthened by input from residents, business owners,
interest groups and advisory committees.
This nearly three year process began with a presentation at the City’s strategic planning session by the
Planner on January 14, 2016. A steering committee was formed which included the Planning
Commission and two members of the City Council. The steering committee provided feedback and
direction to staff during the creation of the plan.
The Comp Plan Steering Committee, had their first meeting on February 22, 2016. The Comp Plan
Steering Committee’s twelfth (12) and final meeting was held on November 14, 2018.
In that time period, Input was collected throughout the process from over 15 engagement sessions,
including: a visioning meeting, a sustainability focus group, around the community, at the high school,
27
the rental complexes, Village Fest, and the community education classrooms, and social media, engaging
over 250 residents and community members.
Highlights of Outreach Efforts:
Community Visioning Day - Wine Tasting at St. Anthony Wine & Spirits - ECFE Class Chats and
Community Ed Parent Council - Key Club - Engage Seniors Where They Live - Sustainability Planning with
US Green Building Council - Citizens for Sustainability - Park Board - Online Engagement Forum
Key Themes: What we heard from the community.
What people love
•The schools are great and an attraction to people and the community is great for children.
•Proximity is to the Twin Cities is one of the city’s biggest assets.
•The city has a reputation for being a sustainability leader.
•People love St. Anthony in general, and believe it is a great place to live.
•It’s peaceful, quiet, and has a small town feel.
Opportunities for change
•People want more physical connectivity through bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure.
•There should be options for long-time residents to stay, as well as accommodate new people.
•Sustainable initiatives are underway yet will continue to be important to the community.
•Housing affordability is an increasing challenge as rents and property values go up.
•People support new housing options on underutilized property (including some density).
•Silver Lake Road is a main thorough-fare and is dangerous to cross.
On May 22, 2018 a Public Hearing was conducted and council authorized submittal to the Metropolitan
Council and adjacent communities for review. The adjacent community review process is a mandatory 6
months, per state statute (unless all comments are received prior to that). Adjacent community review
includes all adjacent communities, Hennepin and Ramsey Counties, Three Rivers Park District,
Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board, MnDOT, and the DNR.
For More Information. See the plan’s web page for a list of public comments with responses, a
summary of key strategies from the public engagement process, and to see packets from
Comprehensive Plan Steering Committee meetings. You can also view the Draft Comprehensive Plan.
Recommendation. This robust planning process has been designed to meet the deadline for submission
of an approved plan to the Metropolitan Council by December 31, 2018. Staff recommends that the City
Council approve the St. Anthony 2040 Comprehensive Plan and authorize submission to the
Metropolitan Council for formal action. Once formal action has been taken by the Met Council, the plan
will return to the City Council for adoption and implementation.

TO: MARK CASEY, CITY MANAGER
FROM: SHELLY RUECKERT, FINANCE DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: 2019 UTILITY RATES
DATE: OCTOBER 30, 2018
The utility rates recommended herein for 2019 builds on the multi-year approach
towards rate adjustments that began in 2012. The parameters used for adjusting rates
are as follows:
Align revenue sources with corresponding costs
Provide transparency as to the basis of rates and rate adjustments
Maintain a structural balanced operation
Ensure that rates appropriately support the ability to:
o Provide safe drinking water
o Properly discharge sanitary sewer flows
o Appropriately control and treat stormwater runoff
Water Rates:
As part of the annual rate adjustment process the water production and distribution
costs are categorized as fixed in nature or usage driven. The 2019 budgeted water costs
are comprised of $628,128 in fixed costs and $666,817 in usage driven costs, see table
below:
OPERATING DEPRECIATION OVERALL
FIXED 452,243 45% 175,885 63% 628,128 49%
USAGE 563,520 55% 103,297 37% 666,817 51%
1,015,763 100% 279,182 100% 1,294,945 100%
37
The Multiyear approach to water rates includes the phase in of the flat fee which began
in 2016. The transition process expected the usage rate growth to decelerate as flat fee
was phased-in. Based on estimated actual results for 2018 and updated 2019 budgeted
costs that expectation is reflected in the proposed rates for 2019.
Proposed 2019 water rates:
2018 2019
Per 1000 gallons Rates Rates $ Increase
Water Tier I 3.07 3.07 ‐
Water Tier II 3.24 3.24 ‐
Water Tier III 3.55 3.55 ‐
Water Tier IV 4.08 4.08 ‐
Water Tier V 5.12 5.12 ‐
Irrigation 4.08 4.08 ‐
Quarterly flat fee 6.70 10.05 3.35
The above rates are projected to produce $1,058,928 in revenues assuming water
consumption similar to 2018. At this level of revenues the operating income before
depreciation is budgeted to be $43,165.
The recommendation’s impact on 2019 Water bills are reflected below:
2019 Tier Rates 3.07 3.07 3.24 3.55 4.08 5.12

Sewer Rates:
As part of the annual rate adjustment process the sewer treatment and collection system
costs are categorized as fixed in nature or flow volume driven. The 2019 budgeted
sewer costs are comprised of $477,265 in fixed costs and $784,407 in flow volume driven
costs (usage), see table below:
OPERATING DEPRECIATION OVERALL
FIXED 406,312 35% 70,953 70% 477,265 38%

1,160,310 100% 101,362 100% 1,261,672 100%
The Multiyear approach to sewer rates also includes the phase in of the flat fee. As part
of the transition process the usage rate growth was expected to decelerate as flat fee was
phased-in. Based on estimated actual results for 2018 and updated 2019 budgeted costs
that expectation is reflected in the proposed rates for 2019.
Proposed 2019 Sewer rates are below:
2018 2019
Per 1000 gallons Rates Rates $ Increase
Sewer Usage rate 4.69 4.69 -
Qtr. Collection system charge 6.40 9.60 3.20
The above rates are projected to produce $1,213,153 in revenues in 2018. At this level of
revenues the operating income before depreciation is budgeted to be $52,843.
The recommendation’s impact on 2018 billings is reflected below:
2019 Tier Rates 4.69 4.69 4.69 4.69 4.69 4.69
2019 Usage levels 4,600 7,500 15,000 22,500 30,000 37,500

DIFFERENCE 3.20 3.20 3.20 3.20 3.20 3.20

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 2.22% increase in rate and should generate $4,440 in
additional revenues (assuming no new construction). The 2.22% rate increase will be
applied to all levels of stormwater charges. The historical impact on a residential single
family user is as follows:
The rate increase for other land use categories is consistent with the increase in single
family residential (classifications 2 & 3) as see below:
Quarterly Bill Usage Rate % 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 2.32
2018 $15.45 $0.35 2.27
2019 $15.80 $0.35 2.22

6- Commercial and industrial $240.38 per acre $235.21 per acre 2.22%

The overall annual impact of the recommended rates for a residential customer at
each of the five tier level is a flat increase per tier, see below:
The Water/Sewer Utility fund summary budget is attached as Exhibit A.
Lastly a long range Utility revenues plan is attached as Exhibit B. The plan addressed
a 2017 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.

REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Meeting Date: November 27, 2018
Resolution- a resolution Designating Polling Places for the 2019 Election Year.
OVERVIEW:
In from of you this evening is a resolution to designate our polling places for 2019 election year. The
council previously adopted this resolution in October, however our long standing Ramsey County precinct,
Chandler Place has decided they no longer wish to be a polling location.
We are fortunate that the management of The Legends in Silver Lake Village, located in Ramsey County,
had previously contacted us expressing their interest in becoming a polling location.
Ramsey County Elections and our City Clerk have toured The Legends and have determined it meets all the
requirements to be designated a polling place.
Once this resolution is approved staff will work with Ramsey County Elections to notify the affected voters
of the polling location change. We will also communicate this change via the website, newsletter, social
media, etc.
