Mr. Bob Kinsella, owner Steele & Hops, addressed the City Council. 4
5
Councilmember Jenson complimented Mr. Kinsella on the business and thought it would be a 6
good fit in St. Anthony. He asked what type of food format this will be. Mr. Kinsella explained 7
it will be similar to their restaurant in Woodbury, Tamarack Taproom and also their Barley and 8
Vine Restaurant in Lakeville. These menus will find success especially in a little more suburban 9
setting like this and there will be a mixture of offerings and price points. 10

150 to 180 but was not sure at this time. 13

well. Mr. Kinsella indicated the restaurant does well at hiring from the area and young kids 25
looking for their first job. He stated they love bringing those kids into the restaurant 26
environment and want to make sure it is positive for them and a positive experience. Some other 27
things that have been done, which is different at each location and what the community asks of 28
them, the restaurant will do fundraisers for teams and schools. He reviewed some of the events 29

City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
February 26, 2020
Page 4
1
Councilmember Walker explained there was discussion about the mission statement and the 2
vision statement and in the document, it says that no changes were made, and he was curious if 3
that was final or could there be future discussion, or will things stay as they are. Mr. Casey 4
stated in regard to the document stating no changes were made, as of what was presented in 2019 5
Strategic Plan and a couple of years before that compared to what is presently in front of the 6
Council there were no changes that were made so that would reflect why that comment was 7
made. In regard to the question of if there are opportunities for that, it would be up to the City 8
Council as policy makers to see if that discussion should be revisited. He believed that the 9
facilitator that led it, stated his opinion and talked a little on Friday morning that there are 10
organizations that do take a look at their mission and vision and the amount of time it takes to 11
make sure it gets its just due of conversation because those are the guiding direction for this 12
organization and is something that should have a lot of dialogue and time to make sure it is done 13
carefully in regard to any changes. 14
15
Councilmember Walker stated at the Thursday session there was a comment regarding the term 16
inclusion and the document Mr. Casey sent out it was noted that the word was too political, and 17
he was not sure exactly what that meant. Mr. Casey stated the comments that are being referred 18
to is discussions throughout the sessions on Thursday, the facilitator, as he led the discussions 19
used several big white pieces of paper to try to capture what the discussions were. The facilitator 20
offered to type up the information on the white sheets into a document. He noted the information 21
was documented but he was not sure who said the comment or how it was stated in the 22
discussion. 23
24
Councilmember Randle indicated the comment was made by him and he stood by that comment. 25
He stated inclusion today has been used so much as a political buzzword to the point that people 26
do not actually know what it means anymore. He noted that is only from his standpoint. What 27
he wanted was for someone to talk and tell him what the City needs to do to be more inclusive or 28
how does the City feel it is not being inclusive. 29
30
Councilmember Webster thanked Mr. Casey and his staff to planning the goal setting. She 31
appreciated the reports from the Department Heads to help her understand what will be on the 32
Council’s radar a year, three years, five years and ten years from now. 33

VII. REPORTS FROM CITY MANAGER AND COUNCIL MEMBERS. 10
11
Councilmember Webster stated she attended Coffee with the Council at Autumn Woods with 12
Mayor Stille on Saturday, February 15th. There were about a dozen community members that 13
attended that event. She really liked the event and getting to know people. She also noted on 14
February 21st, Metro Cities hosted a session put on by the Minnesota Housing Departments on 15
how to access State resources for affordable housing. There was some remarkable data on the 16
shortage of housing across the State along with the shortage of affordable housing as well. One 17
of the pieces shared at the event was for senior age 65 to 74, that is the least likely age group to 18
move and the trends are certainly showing aging in place. She also indicated she has a goal to 19
meet with all of the department heads and has appreciated meeting with Chief Mangseth, and 20
Ms. Rueckert the City’s Finance Director along with Mr. Hartman the Public Works Director. 21
Two things she has appreciated about those meetings is it has allowed her to learn more about 22
their commitment, not only to the City but to the residents as well and it has also been fun to 23
learn more about their three, five- and ten-year goals for their departments. 24
25
Councilmember Randle stated on behalf of Sister Cities they are still looking for residents who 26
are willing to host their friends from Salo and if anyone is interested in hosting to contact himself 27
or Bonnie Brever or anyone from Sister Cities. He noted the date’s needs are July 25, 2020 to 28
August 4, 2020. 29
30
Mayor Stille stated on February 12, 2020 he attended the Hickory Hog ribbon cutting ceremony 31
and this is a unique business that started out of a food truck. He noted this is a homegrown 32
product and the food is really good. 33
34
Councilmember Jenson stated on February 14th he attended the Ramsey County Local League of 35
Governments and at the meeting were guest speakers Susan Brower, the State Demographer and 36
Julie Woods, the Ramsey County Policy Director, and they are part of this Complete Count 37
Committee that is represented by the State and talked a lot about how the State is going to ensure 38
access to apartment buildings for the Census. There was also talk about expanding or developing 39
the strategic direction on moving community engagement activities. He explained on February 40
15th he also attended the Coffee with the Council event. Three things talked about were trying to 41
understand the affordable housing system and process how that works and there was talk about 42
some developments and identification along Kenzie Terrace and advertising on fencing. Plus, 43
the group really wanted to make a point that a lot of good things that are happening in St. 44
Anthony that could be better published. He thought it was a very good meeting. He stated on 45
February 20th he attended the Metro Cities Board of Directors meeting and the guest speaker 46

Memo
To: Mark Casey – City Manager
From: Stacie Kvilvang - Ehlers
Date: March 10, 2020
Subject: Street Reconstruction Plan and 2020 Bonding
Annually the City issues 429 General Obligation assessment bonds to complete the planned
street reconstruction projects. Under the 429 process the City must assess a minimum of
20% of the project costs to benefitting property owners, which typically is not an issue. For
the 2020 street reconstruction improvements, the City is unable to meet the minimum
assessment threshold and therefore will need to finance the project through the Street
Reconstruction and Bituminous Overlay bond process instead.
The City will utilize its authority to issue this type of bonds to finance the project (City has
done this for projects in 2008 and 2014). Similar to the 429 Bonds, the portion of the project
not being paid by assessments will be paid by a general tax levy. This authority was granted
to Cities in 2002 and it generally exempts city bonds issued under a street reconstruction and
overlay program from the referendum requirements usually required for bonding expenditures
(referendum generally required if 20% of the project is not/cannot be assessed). The City is
required to hold a public hearing on its intent to issue these bonds and its 5-year Street
Reconstruction and Overlay Plan (SROP).
In order to utilize this type of financing, the City has to prepare a 5-Year SROP which is
presented at a public hearing to solicit comment and feedback from the community. The
SROP is included in the Council’s packet for review and consideration and only includes the
2020 street reconstruction and bituminous overlay project since it is anticipated that 2021 –
2024 projects will likely be able to be financed through the typical 429 assessment process.
Upon conclusion of the public hearing, the Council must approve the SROP via a two-thirds
majority vote of the members present at the meeting. Although a referendum is not required,
a reverse referendum is allowable. If a petition bearing the signatures of at least 5 percent of
the votes cast in the last general election requesting a vote on the issuance of the bonds is
received by the municipal clerk within 30 days after the public hearing, a referendum vote on
the issuance of the bonds shall be called.
Please contact me at 651-697-8506 with any questions.

Five-Year Street Reconstruction & Overlay Plan 2
I. INTRODUCTION
In 2002, the Minnesota State Legislature passed into law a bill which
generally exempts city bonds issued under a street reconstruction
program from the referendum requirements usually required for bonding
expenditures. In 2013 the Legislature amended the law to allow
bituminous overlays to be included in the street reconstruction program.
The authorization is contained in Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.58,
subdivision 3b (the “Act”).
II. PURPOSE
A street reconstruction program represents a major expenditure of city
funds for the reconstruction or bituminous overlay of public streets. As
defined in the Act, street reconstruction and bituminous overlay projects
may include utility replacement and relocation and other incidental costs,
turn lanes and other improvements having a substantial public safety
function, realignments, other modifications to intersect with state and
county roads, and the local share of state and county road projects.
Except in the case of turn lanes, safety improvements, realignments,
intersection modifications, and local share of State and county road
projects, street reconstruction and overlays do not include the portion of
project costs allocable to widening a street or adding curbs and gutters
where none previously existed.
A Street Reconstruction and Overlay Plan (SROP) is a document
designed to anticipate street reconstruction and overlay expenditures
and schedule them over a five-year period so that they may be
purchased in the most efficient and cost-effective method. A SROP
allows the matching of expenditures with anticipated income. As
potential expenditures are reviewed, the city considers the benefits,
costs, alternatives and impact on operating expenditures.
The City of St. Anthony, Minnesota (the “City”) believes the street
reconstruction and overlay process is an important element of
responsible fiscal management. Major capital expenditures can be
anticipated and coordinated to minimize potentially adverse financial
25
City of St. Anthony, MN
Five-Year Street Reconstruction & Overlay Plan 3
impacts caused by the timing and magnitude of capital outlays. This
coordination of capital expenditures is important to the City in achieving
its goals of adequate physical assets and sound fiscal management. Good
planning is essential for the wise use of limited financial resources. The
SROP is designed to be updated on an as needed basis.
III. PLANNING PROCESS
The City Council annually reviews its capital expenditures according to
their priority, fiscal impact, and available funding as part of its Capital
Improvement Plan (CIP) process. The City assembles the specific capital
expenditures to be undertaken within the next five years. The City
Council prepares a plan based on the available funding sources. From this
information, a preliminary CIP is prepared for public discussion from
citizens and other governmental units. Changes are made based on that
input, and a final plan is established.
Over the life of the CIP, once the funding becomes available the
individual capital expenditures can be made as part of individual project
approvals. In subsequent years, the process is repeated as expenditures
are completed and new needs arise.
If bonding is necessary, the City works with its financial advisor to
prepare a bond sale and repayment schedule. Street reconstruction and
overlay planning occurs separately from the CIP process focusing
specifically on street reconstruction and overlay projects to be financed
with general obligation street reconstruction bonds under provisions of
the Act. The SROP is to describe the identified street reconstruction and
overlay projects to be financed, their estimated costs, and any planned
reconstruction or overlay of other streets in the City over the next five
years.
For a city to use its authority under the Act to finance street
reconstruction and bituminous overlay expenditures with general
obligation bonds, it must meet the requirements provided therein.
26
City of St. Anthony, MN
Five-Year Street Reconstruction & Overlay Plan 4
Specifically, the city must hold a public hearing for public input on a
SROP. Notice of such hearing must be published in the official
newspaper of the city at least 10, but not more than 28 days prior to the
date of the public hearing. In addition, the council must approve the
SROP and issuance of street reconstruction bonds by a two-thirds
majority vote of its membership present at the meeting following a public
hearing.
Although a referendum is not required, a reverse referendum is allowable.
If a petition requesting a vote on the issuance of bonds bearing the
signatures of at least 5 percent of the votes cast in the last municipal
general election is filed with the municipal clerk within 30 days after the
public hearing, a referendum vote on the issuance of the bonds shall be
required to authorize the issuance. If the municipality elects not to
submit the question to the voters, the municipality shall not propose the
issuance of bonds under the Act for the same purpose for a period of 365
days from the date of receipt of the petition.
IV. PROJECT SUMMARY
The expenditures to be undertaken with this 2020 to 2024 SROP are
limited to those listed in Appendix A. All other foreseeable capital
expenditures within the City government will come through other means
or through an amendment to this SROP.
V. FINANCING
The total amount of requested expenditures under the SROP is up to
$3,000,000. If these expenditures are to be funded, that amount of
money is anticipated to be generated through a combination of special
assessments, tax levy, and the sale of general obligation street
reconstruction plan bonds over the five-year period.
In the financing of the SROP, one statutory limitation applies. Under
Chapter 475, with few exceptions, cities cannot incur debt in excess of
27
City of St. Anthony, MN
Five-Year Street Reconstruction & Overlay Plan 5
3% of the assessor’s estimated market value (EMV) for the city. The
City’s Pay 2020 EMV is $1,099,223,200. As noted in the table below, the
City’s debt subject to this requirement, including the proposed bond
issue, is within the required threshold:
Assessor's Estimated Market Value 1,099,223,200
Multiply by 3% 0.03
Statutory Debt Limit 32,976,696
Less: Debt Paid Solely from Taxes (1,920,000)
Less: Proposed Bond Issue(s)(3,000,000)
Unused Debt Limit 28,056,696
Net Debt Limit
Under the SROP, the City plans to issue up to $3,000,000 in general
obligation bonds in the year 2020 to finance the 2020 Road
Reconstruction and Bituminous Overlay project. No future financing is
anticipated under this SROP at this time. The bond sizing is based upon
funding the estimated project amounts listed in Appendix A plus
estimated issuance costs. Current estimates of size and repayment of the
general obligation street reconstruction and overlay bonds under
consideration is shown in Appendix B.
VI. PLAN CONTINUATION
This SROP should be reviewed annually as needed by the City Council
using the process outlined in this document. It should review proposed
expenditures, make priority decisions, and seek funding for those
expenditures it deems necessary for the City. If deemed appropriate, the
Council should prepare an update to this SROP.

in size to accommodate two cars. The addition would approximately 9 feet to the current
garage, resulting in a setback of 5 feet from the south property line. Also to be noted, the
garage would cover an existing exterior parking space, so the use (parking of a passenger
vehicle) would change only in structure.
In reviewing the proposal, the additions raise the need for a variance, as the zoning ordinance
standard is no closer than 5 feet to a side property line, with a total side setback distance of 15
feet on both sides. The current side setback on the north is shown as 5 feet on the applicant’s
site plan. Thus if the variance is granted, the total side setback area would be reduced to 10
feet (5 feet on each side) and as such, 5 feet short of the standard.
A variance from the standard is required to proceed with the project as planned. Without the
variance, the applicant is restricted to a single car garage on this parcel. Technically, an
expansion to the rear to create a “tandem” garage arrangement could be possible, however, it
would result in the loss of significant tree cover in the rear yard.
In reviewing the proposed improvements against the ordinance requirements, staff
recommends approval of the side yard setback encroachment as proposed.
Staff has reviewed for height, use, other setbacks, and impervious surface; the request appears
to meet all other code requirements. The proposed impervious surface would be just under
21%, within the allowance for up to 35% coverage.

Planning Commission recommendation.
The Planning Commission considered the application at a public hearing on February 18, 2020.
The neighbor to the south (at 3400 Roosevelt, the abutting property owner) spoke, and voiced
his opposition to the variance. His concerns related to potential increase in noise and
interference with light into his home, which includes bedrooms on the side abutting the
proposed garage. The Commission expressed concern for the impact on the neighbor, and
discussed alternatives to mitigate the potential impacts, including clarification that the
proposed garage addition would be only one story in height.
The applicant clarified that the eave on the proposed addition would be no more than 6 inches
in width, complying with the ordinance. The applicant further clarified that the existing home
and addition would be remodeled to roof the entire structure, and re-side the building, adding
some architectural features updating the front façade.
A motion was made to approve the variance with the 2 original staff conditions which included:
A. The applicant is able to verify the setback distance as a part of the building permitting
process, based on the existing survey and established lot lines.
B. The addition will consist of building materials and architecture that match the existing
structure.
After discussion, the Planning Commission voted to amend the motion to include two
additional conditions, as follows:
C. The addition will be no more than a single story in height, consistent with the existing
building height.
D. The roof of the addition will include an eave of no more than 6 inches in width, to
minimize encroachment toward the abutting property line.
The amendment passed 6-1, as did the amended full motion. With these four conditions, the
Planning Commission recommends the approval of the variance.

ANALYSIS
1. Background
The applicant is proposing to construct site modifications that will encroach into the
required side yard setback. The parcel in question is shown on the zoning map below, and
is 75 feet in width and approximately 11,550 square feet in area.
The proposed side yard setback would reduce
total side yard area on the south side from 14
feet to 5 feet. As noted, the current condition
is a paved parking pad on the south side of the
single car garage.
The zoning ordinance sets out a series of
criteria for a request to qualify for variance
consideration. Those criteria are found in
§152.245, (C) Evidence of the Zoning Chapter,
and are included in this report for reference
below. The criteria can be summarized as
whether there are unique conditions on the
property that contribute to creation of a
practical difficulty in putting the property to
what would otherwise be considered a
reasonable use – reasonable use is often
thought of as one that would be common and
acceptable in the area.
Variances may not be entirely economic in nature, nor be the result of the actions of the
applicant. In this case, there are conditions suggesting that this request is within the
requirements of the variance ordinance standards. First is the definition of “reasonable
use”. By far the most common condition in single family neighborhoods would be a two-car
garage, with many areas of three car garages not uncommon. Because the variance
standard incorporates conditions common in the area, the lack of a two-car garage can be
considered a factor in whether the regulations prohibit reasonable use on the property.
Second, the space is already used for automobile parking. The exposed parking area is
adjacent to the southerly neighbor’s living space. It is reasonable to believe that an
enclosed garage at the same setback distance would be preferable to an open parking stall.
37
March 10, 2020
Page 4
The applicants suggest that the requested encroachment will permit them to upgrade the
house, retaining or enhancing neighborhood character as a result. It is presumed that the
addition will match the existing structure architecturally and with similar materials.
The proposed design does not appear to be out of character with the neighborhood. For
any variance, the underlying requirement must be that the proposed use of property is
reasonable, that is, a condition that most would presume to be a common and expected
use of property. If so, the next test is whether unique conditions exist on the property, and
whether those conditions create “practical difficulties” in using the property reasonably.
As discussed above, the applicants could technically expand garage space to the rear,
creating a tandem design. While some homes in the neighborhood have rear yard
detached two car garages, the current condition on the subject property does not permit
adequate room to construct a driveway that would be able to access such a new garage.
Moreover, tandem garages are not common, and result in additional parking/circulation
issues for owners and neighbors. At the public hearing, it was noted that by removing the
existing attached garage, the applicant could extend a driveway into the rear yard and
construct a double garage with a 5 foot setback. However, this option would increase
impervious surface on the lot.
38
March 10, 2020
Page 5
As noted above, staff recommends approval of the variance for the side yard
encroachment for the proposed garage addition as shown in the applicants’ application.
The addition of a second garage stall is a common and reasonable use of single family
property, and the encroaching structure occupies what is currently an outdoor parking pad
area. It is furthermore noted that the 5 foot setback would be the permissible amount on
this side if the other side setback were greater, so the building separation to the south is
not out of character with the expectations set by the zoning ordinance.
2. Representative Codes Referenced.
Title XV Land Usage, Chapter 152 Zoning Code, Section §152.04 (F) Side yards. Each dwelling
must have 2 side yards, each having a width of at least 5 feet and having a combined width
of at least 15 feet. Any side yard adjacent to a street must be at least 30 feet in width
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.
Request: Request for a 5-foot variance from the required side yard setback. The applicable
criteria include:
1. The subject matter of the application is within the scope of this section.
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;
b. The plight of the property owner is due to circumstances unique to the property
not created by the property owner;
c. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality; and
d. Economic considerations alone are not the basis of the practical difficulties.
3. The variance, if granted, would be consistent with the City’s comprehensive land use
plan.
4. The granting of the variance is in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the
zoning code.

SUMMARY AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Side Yard Setback Variance. Staff recommends approval of the requested side yard setback
encroachment variance at 3404 Roosevelt Street NE with the following conditions:
A. The applicant is able to verify the setback distance as a part of the building permitting
process, based on the existing survey and established lot lines.
B. The addition will consist of building materials and architecture that match the existing
structure.
C. The addition will be no more than a single story in height, consistent with the existing
building height.
D. The roof of the addition will include an eave of no more than 6 inches in width, to
minimize encroachment toward the abutting property line.
This recommendation is based on a finding that the proposed addition is consistent with the
character of the neighborhood, and constitutes reasonable use of the property, overcoming
practical difficulties related to alternatives that would raise issues of impact on adjoining
property, increase impervious surface, or minimize benefit to neighborhood character.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Decision 1. Variance to Side Yard Setback
1. Motion to approve the request for a variance to the side yard setback for construction
of a single car garage addition, of a single story in height, with the proposed 5 foot
setback at 3404 Roosevelt Street NE, adopting the attached resolution declaring terms
of the same.
2. Motion to deny of the variance as requested. In the event of a vote for denial, the City
Council should state its findings related to denial.

Re: Assessment Policy – Amended February 2020
St. Anthony Village, MN
Dear Honorable Mayor, City Council, and Staff:
At the January 23, 2007, regular meeting, the City Council adopted policies related to special
assessments for public improvements in the City of St. Anthony Village. These policies serve as a
guiding document to levy special assessments, including how to assess specific types of properties.
For single-family residential lots the current policy assesses on a lineal front footage basis. This
method provides highly variable assessments to residential properties based on the configuration of
the lot.
Staff has reviewed assessment policies in surrounding communities finding many utilize the per unit
basis. The unit basis does not penalize properties due to shape, size, or total street frontage. A unit
basis is a much more consistent method by reducing the variability of the assessment to properties
receiving the same benefit.
The amended assessment policy will continue to follow the current policy regarding assessable costs
and only modify how the costs are distributed. Interior residential lots will be assessed 1 unit and
corner lots assessed 0.5 unit for each abutting street.
If you have any questions, I will be present at the March 10, 2020, Council Meeting to discuss further,
or please call me at 651.286.8465.
Sincerely,
WSB
Justin Messner, PE

CITY OF ST. ANTHONY VILLAGE
SPECIAL ASSESSMENT POLICY
Updated August February 20192020
ASSESSMENT PERIOD
For multiple improvement types that occur as part of the same project, the assessment shall be 15
years. No assessment for a single improvement shall exceed 10 years.
Sanitary Sewer 10 years
Water Main 10 years
Storm Sewer 10 years
Street Construction 10 years
Street Resurfacing 10 years
Sidewalks 10 years
The following sets forth the City’s general assessment policies, but these policies may be modified
to the extent necessary to result in special assessment amounts which do not exceed the special
benefits to the respective properties being assessed, unless greater assessments have been agreed
to by the owners impacted by the proposed improvements.
UPGRADING OF PUBLIC ROADWAYS
For reconstruction of existing roadways, the City’s policy is to replace the existing surface, whether
concrete or bituminous, with bituminous roadways and concrete curb and gutter.
For street reconstruction, 35% of the cost for a project will be obtained from sources other than ad
valorem taxes. For street overlay, 50% of the cost for a project will be obtained from sources other
than ad valorem taxes.
All property will be assessed on a basis of front footage as specified below.
1) Residential Properties:
a. Non tax-exempt property zoned R-1, and R-1A, R-2, and R-3 shall be assessed on a
per unit basis at a minimum of 35%, and the overlay 50%, of the actual cost for a
107-ton, 302-foot wide bituminous pavement with concrete curb and gutter and
routine drainage. The above property shall be assessed for this type of roadway
even if the width or strength is greater. Interior lots will be assessed 1 unit and
corner lots assessed 0.5 unit for each roadway frontage.
b. Non tax-exempt property zoned R-2 and R-3 shall be assessed on a per unit basis at
a minimum of 35%, and the overlay 50%, of the actual cost for a 10-ton, 30-foot
wide bituminous pavement with concrete curb and gutter and routine drainage.
The above property shall be assessed for this type of roadway even if the width or
strength is greater. The unit cost is calculated by applying the front footage method
to the parcel and distributing the portion of the allocated project cost equally to all
residential lots/units, regardless of density.
1)
85
Page 2
2) All tax-exempt property regardless of zoning class, such as, but not no necessarily limited to
schools, churches, parks, and government land, shall be assessed on a front footage basis at
50% of the cost of a 107-ton, 302-foot wide pavement with concrete curb and gutter and
routine drainage. The above property will be assessed for this type of roadway even if the
width or strength is greater.
3) All property not covered in the above description shall be assessed on a front footage basis at
50% of the cost for improvements to the roadway that they abut.
In addition to the costs above, all property may be assessed a proportional share on a footage basis
for expenses such as right-of-way and easement acquisition needed for that segment of the project
including any roadways abutting the property.
ALLEYS
Alley reconstruction or overlays shall be assessed at 100% on a front footageper unit basis to the
abutting properties.
CONDOMINIUMS
Assessments shall be spread by dividing them according to the percentage of interest in common
elements of the street improvements.
MUNICIPAL STATE AID ROADWAYS
Assessments on Municipal State Aid roadways shall be levied against the benefited properties on
the same basis as other public streets.
Municipal State Aid funding provided for reconstruction of a particular segment of street will be
used by the City to fund non-assessed costs and will not be used to reduce assessments to the
properties adjacent to these facilities.
STORM DRAINAGE
Improvement costs for storm drainage shall be paid for wholly out of the storm drainage utility fund
and not assessed to benefited properties.
SANITARY SEWER & WATER MAIN
Improvement costs for sanitary sewer and water main line improvements located within City right-
of-way or City easement shall be paid for wholly out of their respective utility funds and not
assessed to benefited properties.
Repair, replacement, or installation of new water service lines for individual properties shall be
assessed at 100% of actual costs. Water service line improvement costs shall include the
installation of new service line pipe, corporation stops and/or fittings, curb box shut off, and/or new
gate valves, depending on the size of the water service.
Repair or replacement of sanitary sewer service lines for individual properties located within City
right-of-way or City easement shall be paid for wholly out of the respective utility fund and not
assessed to benefited properties. Property owners may petition the City to include the cost of
86
Page 3
sanitary sewer service line repair or replacement work from the property line to home into their
assessment on adjacent infrastructure improvement projects.
SIDEWALKS
Sidewalk replacement as part of street reconstruction projects shall be assessed to all properties
abutting the project at the same rate as for street reconstruction, subject to front footage
requirements outlined within this policy.
New sidewalk installation performed as part of the City’s Comprehensive Plan shall not be assessed
to adjacent property owners.

METHODS FOR DETERMINING FRONT FOOTAGE
TAX EXEMPT, R-2, R-3, COMMERCIAL, AND INDUSTRIAL ONLY
STANDARD LOT
Front footage equals the length of
the lot abutting the street receiving
the improvement. See Figure 1
FOUR SIDED ODD SHAPED LOTS
Front footage equals the area of
the lot divided by the average of
the two depths. See Figure 2.
Figure 1
Figure 2
88
Page 5
ODD-SHAPED LOTS WITH GREATER
THAN 4 SIDES
Front footage equals the area of
the lot divided by the average
depth of lots in the immediate
vicinity. See Figure 3.
CORNER LOTS
Front footage equals the dimension
of the shorter side plus one-third of
the long side if work is done on
both streets. If work is performed
on the short side only, front
footage equals the short side
length. If work is performed on the
long side only, front footage equals
one third of the long side length.
See Figure 4.
Figure 3
Figure 4
89
Page 6
CORNER LOTS WITH CURVES
Front footage is determined for
corner lots with curves as in
standard corner lots, with ½ of the
curve length applied to the short
side of the lot and ½ of the curve
length applied to the long side of
the lot. See Figure 5.
DOUBLE FRONTAGE LOTS
Front footage is determined similar
to a corner lot. Work on one street
is assessed full length while the
other street is assessed 1/3 of its
length. In cases where the double
frontage includes an alley, the
street side shall be assessed the full
length, and the alley side shall be
assessed the 1/3 length.
See Figure 6.

PAYMENT OF ASSESSMENTS
The owner of any property so assessed may, at any time prior to certification, make payments
(partial or full) towards the balance owed.
The owner may, at any time after certification, pay the whole of the assessment, with interest
accrued to the date of payment, except that no interest may be charged if the entire assessment is
paid by November 30th of the assessment year.
The owner may, at any time thereafter, pay to the Finance Director the entire amount of the
assessment remaining unpaid, with interest accrued to December of the year in which such
payment is made. Such payment must be made before November 14th or interest will be charged
through December 31st of the succeeding year.
SENIOR CITIZEN DEFERRAL OF SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS
ESTABLISHMENT OF DEFERRAL: Pursuant to Minn. Stat. 435.193 et seq., special assessment
installment payments payable by senior citizens and persons retired by virtue of permanent and
total disability are deferred if payment of such installments would create hardship.
CRITERIA: In determining whether or not a person is eligible for deferral of special assessment
installment payments, the following criteria are established:
SENIOR CITIZENS:
Senior citizens special assessment deferral applies to qualifying special assessments against all
properties classified as “homestead” pursuant to Minn. Stat. Chapter 273, where one or more
of the owners of such property is 65 years of age or older and it would create a hardship for the
owner or owners of the property to pay the special assessment installments as they become
due.
The senior citizen shall be required to prove eligibility for this special assessment deferral on the
basis of age.
PERSONS RETRIED BY VIRTUE OF PERMANENT AND TOTAL DISABILITY:
The special assessment hardship deferral for persons retired by virtue of permanent and total
disability applies to special assessments levied after the date of the adoption of this resolution.
This special assessment hardship deferral applies to qualifying special assessments against all
properties classified as “homestead” pursuant to Minn. Stat. Chapter 273 where one or more of
the owners of the property is retired by virtue of permanent or total disability and it would
create a hardship for the owner or owners of the property to pay the special assessment
installments as they become due.
91
Page 8
It shall be presumed that a property owner is retired from employment by virtue of a
permanent and total disability if:
a) The individual has in fact retired from employment; and
b) The individual suffers from the total and permanent loss of the sight of both eyes, the loss
of both arms at the shoulder, the loss of both legs so close to the hips that no effective
artificial members can be used, completed and permanent paralysis, total and permanent
loss of mental faculties, or any other injury which totally incapacitates the person from
working at an occupation which brings an income.
The owner of the properties must provide proof and verify under oath that he or she qualifies
under the criteria defining a permanent and total disability. In cases where exceptional and
unusual circumstances exist, the City Council may determine that a permanent and total
disability exists despite the fact that the definitional requirement of Section 2, B(3) are not met;
such cases shall be decided by the Council on a case-by-case basis.
HARDSHIP: It shall be presumed that a hardship exists if:
a) The annual assessment installment exceeds one (1) percent of the previous year’s total
adjusted gross incomes, for Federal Income Tax purposes, for all owners of the property; in
no event shall “total adjusted gross income” include social security benefits, railroad
retirement benefits, retirement benefits attributable to employee contributions, disability
benefits, personal injury awards, or worker’s compensation payments.
b) All live owners of the property verify, under oath, that they meet the criteria for establishing
a hardship by completing an application provided by the City or the County.
In cases where exceptional and unusual circumstances exist, the City Council may determine
that a hardship exists despite the fact that the minimum income requirements of the Hardship
Section are not met; such cases shall be decided by the Council on a case-by-cases basis.
INTEREST: Interest shall be charged on any assessment deferred pursuant to this document at a
rate equal to the rate charged on other assessments for the particular public improvement project
the assessment is financing.
TERMINATION OF DEFERMENT: The option to defer the payment of special assessments pursuant
to this document shall terminate and all installment amounts previously deferred, and applicable
interest, shall become due upon the occurrence of any of the following events:
a) The request of the property owner.
b) The death of the property owner who qualifies for the deferral, providing the surviving
owner is otherwise not eligible for the deferral.
c) The sale, transfer, or subdivision of the property or any part thereof.
d) The loss of homestead status of the property.
e) The City determines that a hardship no longer exists.

REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Meeting Date: March 10, 2020
Ordinance – Amending Chapter 150 - Access to Multi-family Housing Structures for US Census
Employees
OVERVIEW:
In front of you, this evening is the final reading and adoption of an ordinance amending Chapter 150 of
the City Code concerning access to multi-unit housing structures by United States Census Bureau
employees.
The City is partnering with the State of Minnesota Demographer's office to ensure a complete count in
the 2020 Census. A complete count is important to St. Anthony and Minnesota on a number of fronts,
including funding and representation. In particular, the City receives some formula funding based on
Census population. A complete list of funding based on census population is attached.
Hard-to-count (HTC) communities are present as part of St. Anthony's residents housing,
approximately one half of our total housing units are in multi-unit housing structures. Traditionally,
these communities have been under counted in the census. One of the significant barriers to reaching
hard-to-count communities is getting access to them as many live in apartment buildings with
restricted access. The proposed ordinance is designed to assist census takers in St. Anthony in gaining
access to these restricted buildings.
The ordinance is modeled after Minnesota Statute 211b.20, which grants candidates access to
apartments and has been on the books since the 1970's. Access provided under this ordinance is limited
to sworn decennial census workers and does not extend to other governmental agencies at the federal,
state, or city level. The Census Bureau and its employees are required by law to keep answers
confidential.
The ordinance will take effect upon publication in the official City newspaper, Star Tribune.

ORDINANCE NO. 2020-01
SAINT ANTHONY VILLAGE, MINNESOTA
AN ORDINANCE ADDING A SECTION TO CHAPTER 150 OF THE HOUSING MAINTENANCE
AND OCCUPANCY ORDINANCE
The City Council of the City of Saint Anthony Village ordains as follows:
Section One. Amendment to the City of Saint Anthony Village City Code to add a section to Chapter 150
of the Housing Maintenance and Occupancy section of the City Code of the City of Saint Anthony Village is hereby
amended as follows. The deleted language is represented by strikethrough text. The additional language is
represented by single underlined text.
150.097 Access to Multi-Unit Housing Structures by United States Census Bureau Employees
Subd. 1. Declaration and Purpose:
A. The United States Constitution directs a decennial census count of all persons
living in the United States.
B. Complete, accurate census data is of critical importance to all residents of
St. Anthony for equal political representation, fair distribution of federal and state
funding, and sound planning and investment infrastructure, real estate, business
development, and public policy and programming.
C. During the decennial census, the United States Census Bureau conducts Non-
Response Follow-up Operations (NRFU), when employees of the United States Census
Bureau visit households that have not yet submitted a census form.
D. Renters and others who live in multi-unit housing structures have historically
been at higher risk of being undercounted in the decennial census, with the number of
renter households in an area being the most influential variable affecting an area’s
census self- response rate; in other words, the more renters in an area, the lower the
self-response rate of that area.
E. The risk of an undercount is compounded in areas with high concentrations of
communities that have been consistently undercounted in the past and who are more
likely to be renters, including low income households, communities of color, Native
American/American Indian communities, immigrants and refugees, and young people.
F. Multi-unit housing structures can be difficult for Census Bureau employees to
enter due to security barriers.
G. It is critical that Census Bureau employees have access to multi-unit housing
structures during the decennial census, so they can reach households that have not yet
participated.
H. 13 U.S. Code § 223 authorizes Census Bureau employees to access “any hotel,
apartment house, boarding or lodging house, tenement, or other building”.
97
Subd. 2. It is unlawful for a person, either directly or indirectly, to deny access to an apartment
building, dormitory, nursing home, manufactured home park, other multi-unit structure used as a
residence, or an area in which one or more single-family dwellings are located on private roadways, to
employees of the United States Census Bureau who display current, valid Census Bureau credentials and
who are engaged in official census counting operations during the Census Bureau’s standard operational
hours of 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. (local time) during the decennial census.
Subd. 3. Census Bureau employees granted access must be permitted to leave census materials
in an orderly manner for residents at their doors, except that the manager of a nursing home may direct
that the materials be left at a central location within the facility.
Subd. 4. This section does not prohibit: 1) denial of admittance into a particular apartment,
room, manufactured home, or personal residential unit; 2) denial of permission to visit certain persons
for valid health reasons, in the case of a nursing home or a Registered Housing with Services
Establishment providing assisted-living services meeting the requirements of Minnesota Statutes,
section 144G.03, subdivision 2; 3) limiting visits to a reasonable number of census employees; 4)
requiring a prior appointment or notification to gain access to the structure; or 5) denial of admittance
to or expulsion of an individual employee from a multi-unit housing structure for good cause.
Section Two. Effective Date. This Ordinance amendment shall be in full force and effect upon its publication
as provided by law.
Effective Date: This ordinance shall become effective as of its publication.
First Reading: February 11, 2020
Second Reading: February 25, 2020
