allowance in there, some kind of collaboration with the community from the 10
developers. She stated the community of color’s voice in St. Anthony is missing. 11

No one was present or online to ask the applicant questions. 7

Chairperson Westrick closed the public hearing at 7:26 p.m. 9
10
Commissioner Neumann stated with this particular application usually they have a nice 11
PowerPoint up on the screen. She asked if she was missing something with the PowerPoint 12
not being on the screen with the pictures and locations for the people at home in order to see 13
what is being discussed. Mr. Grittman apologized and indicated it was in the Commission 14
packet, but staff was not able to get it on the screen. 15
16
Commissioner Neumann asked what street the sign is supposed to go on. She explained she 17
saw the picture of the sign in the packet. Mr. Grittman explained it was 29th Avenue, aka 18
County Road C where it extends into Ramsey County to the East. Commissioner Neumann 19
asked what is in that area of St. Anthony. Mr. Grittman explained there are industrial 20
buildings to the South and to the North of 29th Avenue. Commissioner Neumann asked what 21
type of businesses. Mr. Grittman explained as the applicant indicated, theirs is an industrial 22
supply company and there are a variety of manufacturers with some small warehouses and 23
different types of businesses like that. 24
25
Commissioner Neumann asked if she was to understand that in one of these pictures here, that 26
no one can reference because there is no PowerPoint up on the main screen, this fastener 27
supply sign is already out there or is this the sign the company currently has that will be 28
replaced. Mr. Grittman explained the sign that was shown in the packet of materials that 29
would have been the PowerPoint, is the proposed sign. 30
31
Commissioner Neumann stated there is a proposed sign and then another one that does not 32
look like the proposed sign with a man, the white sign. Mr. Grittman thought Commissioner 33
Neumann was referencing a photograph that the applicant included in their application, which 34
was a Google Earth photograph showing a street view with the old sign. 35
36
Commissioner Neumann asked if there is a sign at the location right now. Mr. Grittman 37
explained the sign was pulled up as a result of the road and trailway construction along that 38
area, with the expectation that the applicant would eventually come forward with a new sign. 39
40
Commissioner Neumann asked what year the sign was pulled up. Mr. Grittman stated this 41
happened within the last twelve months or less. Commissioner Neumann asked if the 42
applicant was going to replace the old sign with a new sign that was brighter and nicer in the 43
exact same spot. Mr. Grittman stated the new sign would not be in the exact same spot. It 44
would be farther away because along the street, the trailway extends across the front portion 45
Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes
September 15, 2020
Page 4
of the applicant’s grass area. As a result, the previous sign was removed and the new sign will 1
be moved farther away from the roadway. 2
3
Commissioner Neumann asked if there would be an issue with the lighting. Mr. Grittman 4
explained there are some requirements in the Code which need to meet as with any other 5
signage. Commissioner Neumann stated she was asking if the applicant was meeting the 6
Code. Mr. Grittman stated that was correct. 7
8
Commissioner Rude stated there was talk about some brightness or illumes leaving the 9
property. He asked if the City does not have anything in place that controls the brightness of 10
signs right now. Mr. Grittman stated he would have to look at the specific section of the Code 11
to confirm that. Commissioner Rude explained his concern, especially with signs near the 12
road or near residential areas, has been with illumes leaving the property. He stated he was 13
surprised the City has not adopted anything yet regarding this and wondered if the 14
Commission could put something in place on this sign. Commissioner Rude explained doing 15
that would make this sign compliant with what the City is working to accomplish. 16
17
Commissioner Neumann stated she liked that. Commissioner Rude stated most communities 18
have that regulation and he thought St. Anthony Village should have that too. Mr. Grittman 19
noted he would check into this a little further and bring it back to the Commission as a 20
discussion item at the next meeting. 21
22
Commissioner Rude asked if the motion should be amended to include this as a condition of 23
the recommendation going forward to the City Council. Mr. Grittman stated he did find a 24
reference in City Code regarding this and there is a brightness requirement. He referenced the 25
Code as 155.29, Section O, and read the requirement to the Commission. 26
27
Commissioner Erickson asked Mr. O’Brien for clarification on the setback of the sign. Mr. 28
O’Brien explained he has not met with the contractor but if the City has a requirement for this, 29
he will make sure it is met. He explained the sign is going to be moved closer to the building. 30
31
Mr. Grittman explained he talked to the sign contractor who did not have a specific proposed 32
dimension but the photograph of the area showed it is expected to be approximately twenty-33
five feet, based on his measurements from what was submitted but this needed to be 34
confirmed. 35
36

Commissioner Erickson asked if the applicant would also be able to change the materials to be 1
compliant, such as natural stone or some sort of natural material. Mr. O’Brien explained they 2
will do a landscaping drawing on that. 3
4
Commissioner Neumann asked how long the applicant has been at the property and what type 5
of business is this. She stated she knew it was a manufacturing business but for the public 6
who do not have a dictionary and are not in manufacturing, could Mr. O’Brien say a little bit 7
more on the record about what the company does, what the company offers specifically to the 8
St. Anthony community, or if his company is just one of the City’s business consumers that is 9
here as well. Mr. O’Brien reviewed the history of his company and indicated the business 10
was started in 1988. 11
12
Commissioner Neumann asked what kind of programs the company has in St. Anthony. Mr. 13
O’Brien stated in this particular location they have hosted “Feed My Starving Children” and 14
the employees volunteer for different things and help out the community. 15
16
Motion by Commissioner Neumann, seconded by Commissioner Morita, to recommend that 17
the City Council approve the requested Conditional Use Permit for an electronic dynamic 18
display sign at 2827 Anthony Lane, with the conditions as detailed in the staff report. 19
20
Motion carried 5-0. 21

IV. STAFF REPORTS. 23
24
City Planner Grittman updated the Commission on the Interstate Development PUD 25
Development. He indicated prior to the City Council meeting the applicant requested to be 26
removed from the Council agenda based on some issues related to their concerns over being 27
able to affordably construct the project as anticipated. The Company is continuing to work on 28
options, and this may be back in front of the Council before Thanksgiving, if it does come 29
back. 30
31
V. OTHER BUSINESS. 32
33
City Planner Grittman stated there was a question earlier in the meeting about the disposition 34
of the Planning Commission’s consideration of Temporary Sign regulations. He indicated at 35
this time, staff is pursuing a delay in the discussion of temporary signs until the COVID 36
Pandemic has passed, and it can then be brought to the Commission for further discussion 37
after that time. 38

ANALYSIS
1. Background
The applicant proposes to construct a car wash facility with a series of outdoor vacuum stations on
the subject property, a current vacant parcel along Kenzie Terrace, just west of their current
automobile service business. The subject property has been used as overflow parking, with limited
pavement, but no buildings or other formal principal use.
The proposed car wash building would be located toward the north/middle portion of the property,
utilizing the middle of three existing curb cuts to Kenzie Terrace. The other two curb cut access
points would be closed. Traffic is designed to enter the site and circulate counter-clockwise around
the building to the entrance at the west end, exiting the building to the east, with access to a series
of one-way driveways that provide access to outdoor vacuum stations on the south side of the
building. The site plan also provides 6 additional parking stalls on the site in two separate bays.
Automobile Service and Car Washes are both listed as Conditional Uses in the C, Commercial zoning
district. (Sections 152.122 D. and F.). The zoning ordinance provides a series of setback
requirements as follows:
Front Yard (from street right of way): 35 feet
Side Yard: 10 feet
Rear Yard: 25 feet to an alley
The zoning ordinance imposes an additional setback requirement in Commercial zoning districts
adjacent to Residential zoning districts, which provides: Setbacks from residential districts. There
December 15, 2020
Page 3
must be a setback area of not less than 20 feet from any property in a residential district within
which setback area parking, storage, and/or loading facilities are excluded.
The proposed site plan appears to meet these minimum standards. In addition to the minimums,
however, a Conditional Use Permit is subject to the following requirements to qualify for City
approval, a specific in Section 152. :
(1) The use is one of the conditional uses specifically listed for the district in which the
property is located;
(2) The City Council has specified all conditions which the City Council deems necessary to
make the use compatible with other uses in the area;
(3) The use will not be detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of persons
residing or working in the vicinity or to the values of property in the vicinity; and
(4) The use will provide a service or a facility which is in the interest of public convenience
and will contribute to the general welfare.
As such, the standard of review is heightened by measuring how a particular use will impact both the
public and the neighboring land uses. In addition to these review criteria, it must be noted that in
Minnesota, courts have ruled that Conditional Uses are presumed to be allowed in the zoning district in
which they are proposed, but that there are special aspects of the use that require attention and
perhaps, mitigation, to ensure that they are consistent with the requirements and intent of the City’s
zoning regulations and Comprehensive Plan.
That is, there is a presumption that the use is allowed on properly zoned land – the question is whether
the impacts of the use can or cannot be mitigated to a reasonable level expected of other permitted
uses in the district.
Therefore, the review of this use must consider how a typically permitted commercial use would impact
the area, and if there are special aspects of this use that require alteration or other attention.
For the Commercial zoning district, common commercial uses include retail and office facilities, as well
as most commercial service businesses, although many services are also required to obtain Conditional
Use Permits. Outdoor commercial uses are not listed as permitted uses in the district.
For a car wash, there are some extraordinary aspects that require particular attention, over and above
the common commercial use impacts. The most notable are headlight glare from vehicles sitting in
stacking lanes, and noise from two sources – the exit dryer location, and the proposed exterior vacuum
stations shown on the site plan.
To mitigate these issues, staff has proposed some specific additions and changes to the site plan
designed to moderate these impacts. As noted above, it is not reasonable to require the elimination of
all impacts of commercial activity on the property. However, these recommended changes are intended
to address those additional impacts of the proposed use.
1. Revise the plan to shift the facility and westerly egress lane at least 5 feet to the east (see next
note).
2. In this additional setback space, plant a continuous row of Spruce trees no greater than 15 feet
on center, to create and grow a buffer between the access aisle and the adjoining multi-family
residential building. Due to the proposed grade and retaining wall, a wider space (and thus,
greater shift) may be necessary to accommodate this planting.
3. Add larger evergreen trees to the northwest corner of the site to moderate impacts of
headlights in the stacking lane.
4. Reorient the parking/access lanes in the front area to 90 degree parking angles, and eliminate
the one-way circulation patterns that add unnecessary pavement.
December 15, 2020
Page 4
5. Add a solid fence line along the north boundary/alley to create a buffer between the
commercial activity and the single family neighborhood to the north, and add landscaping in
that space to enhance the visual aesthetic and reinforce the buffer.
6. Add larger evergreen stock in the northeast portion of the stacking lane area to screen
headlights from the single family properties.
7. Add a permanent canopy cover and solid side-walls to the vacuum area to buffer noise from this
area and direct any noise to the south towards Kenzie Terrace, to mitigate noise impacts on the
adjoining multi-family building. As noted above, there is no provision for outdoor commercial
uses in the zoning ordinance, and a permanent canopy would avoid this conflict.
8. Reduce parking lot light pole height to no more than 20 feet, and ensure full cut-off hooded
fixtures to reduce light spillage onto adjoining property.
9. Specify hooded, downcast wall lighting on the building to avoid any light-source glare.
10. Compliance with the requirements of the City Engineer with regard to engineering and
construction, including utilities, stormwater, and street improvements.
These recommendations are illustrated, in part, as follows:
Without these additions to the proposal, staff could not recommend approval of the proposed
Conditional Use Permit. However, if these changes are made, staff believes that the use would meet the
expectations for the impacts of commercial land uses, minimizing those as necessary to be reasonably
compatible with the surrounding area.
2. Applicable Code Sections.
Title XV Land Usage, Chapter 152 Zoning Code, Section §152.253 establishes the process and
findings required for consideration of Conditional Use Permits.
December 15, 2020

Title XV Land Usage, Chapter 152 Zoning Code, Section §152.122 identifies the allowable Conditional
Uses in a C, Commercial zoning district.
Title XV Land Usage, Chapter 152 Zoning Code, Section §152.124 and 125 identify the performance
standards application to uses in the C, Commercial zoning district.
CONCLUSION
Staff recommends approval of the requested Conditional Use Permit for a car wash facility at 2701
Kenzie Terrace, only with the following conditions:
1. Revise the plan to shift the facility and westerly egress lane at least 5 feet to the east (see next
note).
2. In this additional setback space, plant a continuous row of Spruce trees no greater than 15 feet
on center, to create and grow a buffer between the access aisle and the adjoining multi-family
residential building. Due to the proposed grade and retaining wall, a wider space (and thus,
greater shift) may be necessary to accommodate this planting.
3. Add larger evergreen trees to the northwest corner of the site to moderate impacts of
headlights in the stacking lane.
4. Reorient the parking/access lanes in the front area to 90 degree parking angles, and eliminate
the one-way circulation patterns that add unnecessary pavement.
5. Add a solid fence line along the north boundary/alley to create a buffer between the
commercial activity and the single family neighborhood to the north, and add landscaping in
that space to enhance the visual aesthetic and reinforce the buffer.
6. Add larger evergreen stock in the northeast portion of the stacking lane area to screen
headlights from the single family properties.
7. Add a permanent canopy cover and solid side-walls to the vacuum area to buffer noise from this
area and direct any noise to the south towards Kenzie Terrace, to mitigate noise impacts on the
adjoining multi-family building. As noted above, there is no provision for outdoor commercial
uses in the zoning ordinance, and a permanent canopy would avoid this conflict.
8. Reduce parking lot light pole height to no more than 20 feet, and ensure full cut-off hooded
fixtures to reduce light spillage onto adjoining property.
9. Specify hooded, downcast wall lighting on the building to avoid any light-source glare.
10. Compliance with the requirements of the City Engineer with regard to engineering and
construction, including utilities, stormwater, and street improvements.

CITY OF SAINT ANTHONY VILLAGE
HENNEPIN COUNTY, MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION NO. _____________
A RESOLUTION APPROVING A REQUEST FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
FOR A CAR WASH FACILITY WITH VACUUM STATIONS AT 2701 KENZIE
TERRACE IN THE C, COMMERCIAL DISTRICT
WHEREAS, the City of St. Anthony Village received a request from Boulevard Autoworks for
a car wash at 2701 Kenzie Terrace; and
WHEREAS, the property consists of approximately .78 acres and is located in the C,
Commercial zoning district; and
WHEREAS, the subject parcel is currently vacant, with an independent parking lot, but no
principal building; and
WHEREAS, car wash facilities are allowed by Conditional Use Permit in the Commercial
District; and
WHEREAS, the car wash facility has the potential to create negative land use impacts beyond
those of typical permitted uses in the Commercial District; and
WHEREAS, the property adjoins residential uses on the west and north sides; and
WHEREAS, consideration of a conditional use permit in such areas is required to avoid
unreasonable negative impacts on adjoining residential property; and
WHEREAS, additional means are necessary to avoid those additional negative impacts; and
WHEREAS, the conditions identified as a part of an approval for the proposed Conditional Use
Permit are necessary to mitigate those impacts; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has considered all of the comments and the staff report,
which are incorporated by reference into the resolution; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on December 15, 2020 on the
application and the applicant and members of the public were provided the opportunity to present
information to the Planning Commission; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the Conditional Use Permit
with the conditions noted in the Staff report, and as listed below; and
WHEREAS, the City Council makes the following findings of fact in support of the resolution
for approval:
1. The property is located in an area of commercial land use on a major collector roadway.
2. The proposed use is identified as an allowed Conditional Use in the Commercial zoning
district in which it is located.
3. The additional impacts of the proposed use are in need of mitigation as a requirement to
meet the standards of the zoning ordinance, including compatibility with other uses in the
neighborhood.
4. With the modification to the site plan, building design, landscaping, and other
improvements identified as conditions recommended by the Planning Commission, the
proposed improvements constitute a reasonable use of the property.
5. Without those recommended conditions, the use would be incompatible with the area and
intent of the zoning ordinance regulating such uses.
6. The proposed ues, constructed and operated within the requirements of the Code and the
conditions of this resolution, will not impact surrounding property or public areas beyond
the expected impacts of permitted, compliant uses in the commercial zoning district.
7.
NOW THEREFORE MAY IT BE RESOVLED, that the City Council of the
City of St. Anthony Village accepts the findings and recommendations documented in the staff
report and approves Conditional Use Permit for a car wash as shown on the plans submitted on
or before November 17, 2020, at 2701 Kenzie Terrace, as revised in accordance with the
following conditions:
1. Revise the plan to shift the facility and westerly egress lane at least 5 feet to the
east (see next note).
2. In this additional setback space, plant a continuous row of Spruce trees no greater
than 15 feet on center, to create and grow a buffer between the access aisle and
the adjoining multi-family residential building. Due to the proposed grade and
retaining wall, a wider space (and thus, greater shift) may be necessary to
accommodate this planting.
3. Add larger evergreen trees to the northwest corner of the site to moderate impacts
of headlights in the stacking lane.
4. Reorient the parking/access lanes in the front area to 90 degree parking angles,
and eliminate the one-way circulation patterns that add unnecessary pavement.
5. Add a solid fence line along the north boundary/alley to create a buffer between
the commercial activity and the single family neighborhood to the north, and add
landscaping in that space to enhance the visual aesthetic and reinforce the buffer.
6. Add larger evergreen stock in the northeast portion of the stacking lane area to
screen headlights from the single family properties.
7. Add a permanent canopy cover and solid side-walls to the vacuum area to buffer
noise from this area and direct any noise to the south towards Kenzie Terrace, to
mitigate noise impacts on the adjoining multi-family building. As noted above,
there is no provision for outdoor commercial uses in the zoning ordinance, and a
permanent canopy would avoid this conflict.
8. Reduce parking lot light pole height to no more than 20 feet, and ensure full cut-
off hooded fixtures to reduce light spillage onto adjoining property.
9. Specify hooded, downcast wall lighting on the building to avoid any light-source
glare.
10. Compliance with the requirements of the City Engineer with regard to
engineering and construction, including utilities, stormwater, and street
improvements.
Passed in regular session of the City Council on the ___ day of _________, 2021.

Subject: Request to Postpone Agenda Item - December 15 Planning Commission Meeting
To Mr. Grittman, City Planner:
I am sending this individually as an affected homeowner at the property adjacent to the subject parcel mentioned
in the undated notice from the City of St Anthony regarding the "public" hearing (by Zoom) regarding 2701 Kenzie
Terrace use, currently on the agenda for Tuesday, December 15 at 7:00pm:
Request: Please postpone the December 15 meeting agenda item regarding the parcel at 2701 Kenzie Terrace to
instead be conducted in good faith at a later time, e.g., spring or summer of 2021, when there is no health crisis
and the limited participation solely by Zoom won't stifle the ability for many members of the public to provide
feedback to the meeting – esp. several directly affected homeowners on property adjacent to subject
parcel. See rationale for request for postponement:
• I believe fewer than half of the 25-30 homes at the Kenzington Condominiums most-affected by
the subject of the proposed permit use even have the technology or ability to participate in Zoom
meetings. Thus, it isn't really good-faith or equitable public access to a meeting to limit participation on
this important item to only those who have access to Zoom.
• While there is a different and separate hearing coming up - a December 8 public hearing (tomorrow) - I
note that meeting is regarding a development that, once it's built, won't have actual and known constant
disturbance of the quality of life for the specific owners of the 25-30 units instantly affected here at the
Kenzington by the proposed project at 2701 Kenzie Terrace - not asking for postponement of the
December 8 Zoom meeting. The specifically affected homeowners at The Kenzington need to be able to
have fair and full access to the meeting that is the subject of the current December 15 notification.
• This item is presumably an item on a monthly meeting agenda, but it is for a meeting just 10 days before
Christmas, during a pandemic, and there is undue stress on all Minnesotans and the populace in general,
this seems like a rush job to fluff over the subject matter of this mailed notice - doesn't feel fair. This item
could be postponed per above rationale and the rest of the meeting agenda go forward.
• The applicant for this item's conditional use permit should understand that postponement of this item
would be a sign of good faith dealing with residents in the community, and is not requested with an
adversarial intention at all. When it's safe to conduct Planning Commission meetings in person for the
public at City Hall, then let's have this meeting.
Thank you.

Caution: This email originated outside our organization; please use caution.
Hello, my name is Lee John Kurtz, and I reside at 2601 Kenzie Ter apt 109, the Kenzington
Condominiums in St Anthony. I was deeply disturbed yesterday by a letter I received about a possible car
wash being constructed at 2701 Kenzie Ter sometime in the future. My unit is one of the unlucky 25 that
overlooks the property. I have talked to 3-4 of my neighbors and we are vehemently AGAINST this
project! I'm sure NO ONE in their right mind would want a noisy car wash operating so close to their
home. The fact that I work from 4:15 PM until 2:30 AM makes this even WORSE for me as I generally
sleep from 4 AM until 11 or 11:30 AM during the work week. I see there is a ZOOM meeting scheduled
about this in a week or so, but my work schedule and my non experience with Zoom ANYTHING, makes
it a no go for me. I just want you all to know that, if necessary, I will rally the residents to at LEAST sign a
petition against the possible car wash being built AND a boycott of Blvd Auto. A couple of the neighbors
that I have talked to are 10 or more years OLDER than me (I am 60) and would enjoy the hell out of re-
living their activities of the 1960's and fighting for a cause/protesting for the greater good (greater good
being the residents of our building, and the 7 or 8 houses along 27 Ave NE that would also be affected by
this project.) I'm sure there are available industrial use type properties somewhere in the area where a
car wash can operate WITHOUT disturbing the lives of property tax paying citizens. Also, IF this car wash
were to be allowed to operate on this property, I am SURE that our property values ( along with our
property tax amounts) would take a tremendous turn downward. In my case, for example, I purchased my
unit in 2017 with the full intention of selling it in June of 2025, to help finance my relocation to my native
northern MN after my retirement. There as as many financial plans for the people living here as the
number of people living here. Originally, I thought about sending an e-mail to Tom (?), the owner of Blvd
Auto, to log my complaint, but reconsidered and decided to leave it to the people whose sworn oath is to
protect the citizens of this city. I am neither a Democrat, or a Republican. I generally vote for the person
who I think will do best at the job. Some of you I voted for, and others I did not. What I HAVE seen during
the almost 4 years of living here, is that St Anthony is WAY better ran than Minneapolis, where I lived the
majority of the 40 years since I relocated from Duluth in 1980. This is a simple quality of life issue. A car
wash will SEVERELY deter the quality of life for quite a few people if built here. I can only speak for
myself when I say that the farther along the plans for this proceed, the bigger the effort to stop it will be. I
am BEGGING you to nip this in the bud BEFORE we have to spend the time and effort to fight this. I am
ALL IN for this cause and consider myself to NOT be a "cause guy" at all normally. Thank you for your
time. I can be reached at this e-mail address or 612-789-7172 between the hours of 11 AM and 2 PM
Mon-Thurs, or anytime after noon on Fridays. I assume you take weekends off, but would be willing to
discuss this with anyone from city hall ANYTIME on the weekends. Thanks once again!!

MEMORANDUM
TO: St. Anthony Planning Commission
FROM: Stephen Grittman, City Planner
DATE: December 10, 2020
RE: St. Anthony Village – Planning Commission Meeting –
December 15, 2020
2021 Goal Setting
NAC FILE: 323.01
Attached is a copy of the 2021 Draft Planning Commission Work Plan.
In early January, the City Council, along with staff, Commission representatives, and
other public officials will be meeting to set 2021 goals. The Planning Commission has
been asked to discuss these and/or other goals that the Commission believes would be
valuable to pursue in the coming year. This discussion will also serve as the basis for a
work plan for the Commission and the planning department staff for the coming year.
Because the Covid situation interrupted much of what the Planning Commission’s normal
year might have been, many of these are holdover items from 2020.
Please take time to review the material in anticipation of the December meeting. If any
thoughts or questions arise between now and then, please feel free to contact staff to
provide opportunity for additional research or preparation.
