Mayor Stille opened the public hearing at 7:04 p.m. 1
2
Finance Director Rueckert presented the 2021 final Tax Levy and General Operating Budget. 3
4
Councilmember Webster thanked Ms. Rueckert for the presentation and commended her on how 5
the property taxes are broken out on the property tax statements and thought that was a really 6
important overview. She appreciated the transparency of the breakdown of portion of property 7
taxes that go to the City. She thought a piece that was important for the residents to know is in 8
the General Fund budget, only thirteen percent of the City’s revenue comes from local 9
government aid from the State. On the flip side sixty percent comes in the form of property tax 10
levy. She asked Mr. Rueckert to review the fluctuation in local government aid and how that has 11
impacted City budgets. 12
13
Ms. Rueckert reviewed the history of local government aid in the City. 14
15
Councilmember Randle indicated when he looked at the budget, he looked at the difference 16
between how the taxes are between the City and School and there is not much difference. He 17
wondered if there was any information regarding how the difference is between other districts. 18
Ms. Rueckert indicated quite often this is almost split equally into thirds if everyone was blended 19
together. It seems like the County is generally a third, the City is a third and the School District 20
is generally a third. She noted it all can change over time and move back and forth. She thought 21
they have been somewhat consistent in the sharing the last few years and she has not compared it 22
to other cities. 23
24
No one from the public wished to address the City Council 25
26
There being no additional public input, Mayor Stille closed the public hearing at 7:28 p.m. 27
28
Motion by Councilmember Walker, seconded by Councilmember Randle, to approve Resolution 29

of St. Anthony Village. 31

Interstate Development Multi-Family Residential Project of 38 Dwelling Units at 3725 38
Stinson Boulevard NE. 39
40
City Planner Grittman reviewed the resolution with the Council. 41
42
Councilmember Jenson explained targeted audiences for this project or people that rent are 43
people that are the lower end of the earnings scale, forty thousand dollars or less per year, which 44
equates to twenty and hour. The units are going to be small but very nice and a good place for 45
people just starting out. He thought since they are targeting this income range, it is a way to get 46

some form of affordable housing without asking the taxpayer to subsidize the cost. He indicated 1
he was eager to see how this works out and is hoping it will work out well. 2
3
Mayor Stille indicated there is another step which is the development agreement and will have to 4
be recorded in conjunction with Final PUD with the County. He asked if the development 5
agreement will come back before the City Council. Mr. Grittman stated that was correct. The 6
Council will have to approve the development agreement as a separate formal action. 7
8
Mayor Stille asked if there will be things such as posting a letter of credit or cash to make sure 9
the trees are planted and are seasoned so they do not die, things of that nature. Mr. Grittman 10
explained there will be securities to secure the survival of the landscape installation and other 11
site improvements. The securities will be primarily for private improvements on the site. 12
13
Mayor Stille explained the maintenance of this project is the modular construction component, 14
which he is excited. He thought this can be done right and a model for other housing throughout 15
the region. 16
17
It was noted the developer was at the meeting to answer questions. 18
19
Councilmember Webster explained out of an abundance of caution and in order to avoid even the 20
perception of a conflict of interest she will be recusing herself from discussion or voting on the 21
final PUD approval, Resolution 20-089 and also Ordinance 2020-04 due to her personal 22
appointments. 23

CITY OF SAINT ANTHONY VILLAGE
STANDING RULES FOR CONDUCTING
CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS
INTRODUCTION
In the belief that the best decisions are made by the best informed decision makers and
that public decisions are best served when the public has every opportunity to present
views, the following rules are established to govern regular and special Council meetings as
well as formal public hearings. There are several goals behind these rules.
In general, free and open discussion by all interested parties should be an essential part of
the decision making process.
The Council process should have as little procedural overhead as possible.
Time is better spent on substantial matters rather than performa matters.
MEMBERSHIP
The formal Council membership consists of four Councilmembers and the Mayor. All five
have one vote each and all five can introduce motions. For purposes of leading the
meeting, the Mayor, or in the absence of the Mayor, the Mayor Pro tem will be considered
the Chairperson. A quorum is required to do official business and a quorum of the Council
consists of three members.
Meetings of the Council shall be held on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month at
7:00 pm. Council work sessions will be called from time to time, as the Mayor and Council
deem necessary.
RULES
Order of Business
The following shall be the order of business of the Council:
CALL TO ORDER
PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
ROLL CALL
APPROVAL OF MEETING AGENDA
PROCLAMATIONS AND RECOGNITIONS
CONSENT AGENDA
These items are considered routine and will be enacted by one motion. There won’t be
separate discussion of these items unless a Councilmember or citizen so requests, in which
31
2021
event the item will be removed from the Consent Agenda and placed elsewhere on the
agenda. Donations to the city will be handled in the same accordance as long as it follows
the City of St. Anthony Donation Policy.
Significant revisions requested of minutes should be emailed ahead of the meeting to the
City Manager or Commission Staff Liaison.
PUBLIC HEARING
COMMISSIONS AND STAFF REPORTS
REPORTS FROM COUNCILMEMBERS AND CITY MANAGER
COMMUNITY FORUM
Individuals may address the City Council about any City business item not included on the
regular agenda. Speakers are requested to come to the podium, state their name and
address for the secretary’s records, and limit their remarks to five minutes. Generally, the
City Council will not take official action on items discussed at this time, but may refer the
matter to staff for a future report or direct that the matter be scheduled on a upcoming
agendas.
INFORMATION AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
ADJOURNMENT
AGENDA
To be considered, an item must be on the agenda and the agenda must be distributed to all
the Councilmembers and any other persons having responsibility for an item at least three
working days prior to the meeting. An agenda can be modified with addendum by a
majority vote but this should be used only for minor items or items with extreme time
constraints.
An item can be moved from the consent agenda to the action agenda at the request of the
Mayor or Councilmember.
With there being cable TV and in-person audience, who are not as familiar with each item,
the Mayor will give a brief explanation of each item as it is addressed.
The order of items on the agenda need not be followed absolutely. The Mayor may adjust
the order in the interest of:
▪ Filling in time before a scheduled item, i.e. a public hearing.
▪ Grouping several items to best make use of consultant time.
32
2021
▪ Accommodating individuals who have attended the meeting specifically to provide
input on an item.
PROCESS REGULAR AND SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETINGS
For these proceedings the Council will use the “open discussion” procedure. That is,
discussion is open to any member before or after a motion is made. The privilege is also
extended to the City Manager, and any of the consultants who may have an interest in or
can contribute to the item at hand.
The Mayor can make liberal use of the “unanimous consent” procedure. That is, items that
in the judgment of the Mayor are likely to be unanimously approved can be introduced for
approval with the statement: “If there are no objections, stands approved (or denied).” If
any Council member has an objection, the item reverts to the standard motion procedure.
This “unanimous consent” procedure cannot be used for items requiring formal votes, i.e.,
resolutions or for approval of the consent agenda.
The standard motion procedure is that each motion requires a second. This also applies to
amendments. Any motion, by any member shall be reduced to writing upon request of any
member. No motion shall be put to a vote until it has been stated by the maker at the
request of any member of the Council.
To eliminate confusion, only one amendment will be considered at a time and that
amendment must be germane to the motion. An amendment cannot itself be amended. If
a change to an amendment is deemed appropriate, the amendment should be withdrawn
and reintroduced accordingly.
The general mode of voting will be by acclamation but with enough clarity that individual
votes can be recorded in the minutes. If in doubt, any member can request clarification.
Each individual’s vote will be entered in the minutes.
Any member may abstain from voting or disqualify themselves. The reason for
disqualification or abstention must be stated by the member and entered into the minutes.
If a member disqualifies them self, they may leave the room while the issue is being
considered.
Roberts Rules of Order (revised) shall govern the City Council procedures not covered by
the Standing Rules of the City Council.
The meeting will be recorded, and the recording will be retained for three (3) months
following approval of the minutes of the meeting. The standard retention can be extended
if in the judgment of the Mayor, City Clerk or any other Councilmember, such action is
warranted.
33
2021
If the Council action is the result of a resident request and that request is denied in whole
or in part, reasons of the fact supporting the denial will be made part of the public record.
PROCESS – PUBLIC HEARING
Since a public hearing is a more formal procedure and often requires certain procedures
and actions to be legal, the meeting rules are changed accordingly.
The primary aim of a public hearing is to take input from the public. To accomplish this in
the most effective manner, the Mayor will introduce the hearing with an explanation of the
issues. The Mayor will give this explanation or a person designated by the Mayor. The use
of explanatory visual aids is encouraged.
Following the explanation, input from the public will be taken. Prior to accepting input
though, the Mayor will state the areas where input will be appropriate, the maximum time
to be allotted to any individual presenter and any other procedural rules deemed
appropriate to guarantee that all concerned parties have a fair and adequate opportunity
to be heard.
All individuals wishing to speak must fill out and submit an identification form and speak in
to a recording microphone. Individuals not wishing to speak in public may provide a
written statement. The Council may take up to 15 minutes to review written statements
presented at the meeting. If the Council decides not to act on the issue at the public
hearing meeting, it may by majority vote extend the time where written input will be taken
to a day not later than one week before the next meeting where a deciding vote is planned.
All speakers are to address the council, expected to be business like, to the point and
courteous. Anyone not abiding by these rules will be considered out of order.
• Everyone who wishes, will have a chance to address the Council, citizens must address all
questions and comments to the Mayor, who will then determine who will answer them.
Questions will be answered when all persons have had a chance to speak. Only one person
may speak at a time. Citizens are urged to be polite and quiet as comments are made to
the Council. Applauding or other displays of approval or disapproval are inappropriate
during City Council proceedings.
• No one will be given an opportunity to speak a second time until everyone has had an
opportunity to speak initially. Please limit second presentation to new information and not
rebuttals.
• The Council will refrain from initiating a discussion during the public input phase of the
hearing except to clarify points brought up.
• When public comments are completed, the Council closes the public hearing and starts its
own discussion. The audience is welcomed to listen quietly to the discussion but is
requested not to make comments.
34
2021
Once the public testimony phase is complete, the Mayor will announce the public hearing
to be closed and the Council will revert back to its open discussion mode of operation.
From this point on, public input will only be appropriate when solicited by the Council.
It shall be the intent of the Council to vote on the issue at the same meeting as the public
hearing and as close in time to the public hearing as possible. Should it be necessary to
defer voting until a later date, the procedure will be clearly explained to the audience.
If the motion contains conditions, as may occur in conditional use or variance requests,
those conditions will be conveyed in writing to the requestor.
If the public hearing is the result of a resident request and that request is denied in whole
or in part, reasons of fact supporting the denial will be made part of the public record.
If the public hearing is to set an assessment rate, the assessment formula(s) under
discussion cannot be altered. This implies that the Council has fully discussed any formulas
prior to the hearing and that the appropriate legal, fiscal and engineering consultants have
passed on formula(s) viability, legality, and feasibility.
If the hearing is to set an assessment, it cannot be scheduled later than the first meeting in
September. This is to allow time to correct errors prior to the time needed to certify the
rolls to the county.
MAYOR PRO TEM
The Mayor Pro tem shall be appointed in January of each year. The first Mayor Pro tem
after adoption of this rule shall be the Councilmember with the most continuous time on
the Council. The position shall be rotated among Councilmembers based on time of
continuous service. If two or more members have identical seniority, the appointment
shall be based on alphabetical order by last name. A Councilmember may not serve as
Mayor Pro tem twice until all other Councilmembers have been Mayor Pro tem. A
Councilmember must serve two years before being considered for Mayor Pro tem.
A Councilmember may decline the appointment for good cause and maintain their place in
the rotation for appointment the following year.
ADOPTION/MODIFICATON/SUSPENSION
These rules can be adopted, modified or suspended in whole or in part by a majority vote
of the Council. If suspended they are automatically reinstated at the next meeting.
ANNUAL REVIEW
These rules will be reviewed annually at the first meeting in January.
35
2021
INTERPRETATION
The Mayor will interpret the rules. However, the Mayor’s interpretation can be appealed
by any Councilmember and can be overruled by a majority vote.

2021
ELECTED OFFICIAL OUT-OF-STATE TRAVEL POLICY
Purpose:
The City of Saint Anthony Village recognizes that its elected officials may at times
receive value from traveling out of the state for workshops, conferences, events and
other assignments. This policy sets forth the conditions under which out-of-state travel
will be reimbursed by the City. This policy will be reviewed annually by City Council.
General Guidelines:
1. The event, workshop, conference or assignment must be approved in advance by
detailed motion of the City Council at an open meeting and must include an
estimate of the cost of the travel. In evaluating the Out-of-State Travel request,
the Council will consider the following:
• Whether the elected official will be receiving training on issues relevant
to the City or to his/her role as the Mayor or Councilmember;
• Whether the elected official will be meeting and networking with other
elected officials from around the country to exchange ideas on topics of
relevance to the City and/or official roles of local elected officials;
• Whether the elected official will be viewing a city facility or function that
is similar in nature to one that is currently operating at, or under
consideration by the City where the purpose for the trip is to study the
facility or function to bring back ideas for consideration of the full
Council;
• Whether the elected official has been specifically assigned by the City
Council to visit another city for the purpose of establishing a goodwill
relationship such as a “Sister-City” relationship;
39
2021
• Whether the elected official has been specifically assigned by the City
Council to testify on behalf of the City at the United States Congress or to
otherwise meet with Federal Officials on behalf of the City;
• Whether the City has sufficient funding available in the budget to pay the
cost of the trip.
2. No reimbursement will be made for attendance at events sponsored by or
affiliated with political parties.
3. The City may make payments in advance for airfare, lodging and registration if
specifically approved by the City Council. Otherwise all payments will be made
as reimbursements to the Elected Official.
4. The City will reimburse for transportation, lodging, meals, registration, and
incidental costs using the same procedures, limitations and guidelines outlined in
the City’s policy for Out-of-State Travel by City employees as outlined in the City
Expenditure Policy of the City of Saint Anthony Village Employee Resource
Guide.
Provisions:
• Limitations on paying for Councilmembers who have announced their
intention to resign, not to seek re-election, or who have been defeated in an
election (however, there may be some benefit to the City in having newly
elected officials who have not yet taken office attend training beforehand);
• Requirements for Councilmembers to give oral or written reports on the
results of the trip a the next Council meeting;
• The ability for the city to make exceptions to the policy;
• The requirement that all frequent flyer miles to accrue to the city;
• Requirements to use the most cost-efficient mode of travel available taking
into consideration reasonable time constraints.

CITY OF SAINT ANTHONY
STATE OF MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION 21-009
A RESOLUTION FOR THE UPDATED 2021 STREET IMPROVEMENT
BOND REIMBURSEMENT
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of St. Anthony (the “City”),
as follows:
1. Recitals.
(a) The Internal Revenue Service has issued Section 1.150-2 of the Income
Tax Regulations (the “Regulations”) dealing with the issuance of obligations, all or a
portion of the proceeds of which are to be used to reimburse the City for expenditures
made by the City prior to the date of issuance.
(b) The Regulations generally require that the City make a prior declaration of
its official intent to reimburse itself for such prior expenditures out of the proceeds of a
subsequently issued borrowing no later than 60 days after payment of such expenditure,
that the borrowing occur and the reimbursement allocation be made from the proceeds of
such borrowing within eighteen months of the payment of the expenditure or, if longer,
within eighteen months of the date the project is placed in service, but in no event more
than three years after the date the original expenditure was paid and that the expenditure
must either be a capital expenditure, or a cost of issuance of the obligation.
2. Official Intent Declaration.
The City desires to comply with requirements of the Regulations with respect to the 2021 Street
& Utility Project (the Project) in order to preserve the option of the City to finance the costs of
the Project with tax-exempt obligations. The total cost of the Project is approximately
$3,000,000 exclusive of financing costs and capitalized interest, and the City intends to finance a
portion of the costs of the Project from proceeds of a borrowing. The maximum amount of debt
to be issued for the Project is $3,000,000. The City reasonably expects to reimburse all or a
portion of the expenditures made for costs of the Project out of the proceeds of an obligation, as
defined in the Regulations, and the expenditures made for costs of the Project to be reimbursed
will be of a type that is properly chargeable to capital account (or would be so chargeable with a
proper election such as an election under Section 266 of the Code) under general federal income
tax principles.
3. Budgetary Matters. As of the date hereof, there are no City funds reserved, allocated on a long
term basis or otherwise set aside (or reasonably expected to be reserved, allocated on a long term
basis or otherwise set aside) to provide permanent financing for the expenditures related to the
Project to be financed from proceeds of a borrowing. This resolution, therefore, is determined to
be consistent with the City’s budgetary and financial circumstances as they exist or are
reasonably foreseeable on the date hereof, all within the meaning and content of the Regulations.

MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor Stille and St. Anthony Village City Council
From: Stephen Grittman, City Planner
Date: City Council Regular Meeting for January 12, 2020
NAC File No: 323.01 – 20.21
Request: Request for a Conditional Use Permit for a Car Wash facility for
Boulevard Autoworks at 2701 Kenzie Terrace.
STAFF and PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS
The applicant is proposing to construct a new car wash facility at 2701 Kenzie Terrace. The facility
requires a conditional use permit, and would replace the existing parking lot on the site.
Based on a review of the application, Planning Staff recommends approval of the CUP request, with
conditions related to compliance with code requirements applicable to the impacts of the proposed use.
The Planning Commission reviewed the application at a public hearing on December 15, 2020. Several
members of the public provided written and oral comments, expressing concerns related to noise,
lights, odors, and general compatibility with the neighborhood, with the potential to disrupt quality of
life and diminish property values. The applicant expressed an interest in mitigating those concerns, and
agreed to the required conditions recommended by staff.
After the hearing, Commission discussed the item extensively, ultimately passing a motion to
recommend approval of the Conditional Use Permit, based on the findings in the proposed resolution
and with the conditions recommended in the staff report, as well as one additional condition limiting
hours of operation to 7:00a.m. to 10:00p.m. The applicant had indicated that his proposed hours of
operation would be 8:00a.m. to 5:00p.m. With those conditions, the Planning Commission vote was 7 in
favor, 0 against.

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:
46
January 12, 2021
Page 3
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
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 152.243(C):
(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
47

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.
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 §152.243 establishes the process and
findings required for consideration of Conditional Use Permits.
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 and Planning Commission recommend 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.

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 a and construction,
including utilities, stormwater, and street improvements.
11. Hours of Operation limited to between 7:00a.m. and 10:00p.m.

MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor Stille and St. Anthony Village City Council
From: Stephen Grittman, City Planner
Date: City Council Regular Meeting for January 12, 2020
NAC File No: 323.01 – 20.21
Request: Request for a Conditional Use Permit for a Car Wash facility for
Boulevard Autoworks at 2701 Kenzie Terrace.
STAFF REPORT ADDENDUM (1/5/21)
This memorandum supplements the staff report on this item.
An objection has been raised by a member of the public relating to the Planning Commission action
from its meeting on December 15, 2020. The Planning Commission’s intent was to amend the staff
recommendation with the addition of an eleventh condition of approval (limiting hours of operation).
The objection made in the public comment suggests that the Commission acted only to amend the
original motion, and failed to then take a final vote on the motion as amended.
As such, staff is recommending that the City Council action on January 12 is to refer the item back to
Planning Commission for a revised vote on the full motion as amended (that is, including the 10 staff
recommendations along with the limitation on hours of operation). Planning Commission will meet on
January 19, and could take up the full motion at that meeting, with the Council receiving the item at its
regular meeting on January 26, 2021.
The original public hearing notice stated that the item was expected to be considered by City Council on
January 12. Staff is undertaking an update notification informing those who previously received original
public hearing notice that this referral to Planning Commission is being considered by the Council, and
that if the referral is approved, the dates would shift to those noted above.
The action by Council, if it chooses to send the item back to the Planning Commission, would be as
suggested in Action number 1. below.
CITY COUNCIL ACTION
Staff recommends the following action:
1. Motion to refer the request for CUP at 2701 Kenzie Terrace back to Planning Commission for
clarification of their motion.

Boulevard Autoworks : Car Wash Conditional Use Permit
CAR WASH CUP -SITE LOCATION

CAR WASH CUP –APPLICANT’S PROPOSED SITE PLAN

CAR WASH CUP –PLANNING STAFF ALTERNATIVE
CAR WASH CUP –STAFF/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS
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
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.
11.Hours of operation limited to 7:00a.m. to 10:00p.m.

CAR WASH CUP –CITY COUNCIL ACTION
1.Motion to approve the request for CUP at 2701 Kenzie Terrace,
incorporating the conditions recommended by staff and Planning
Commission, and including the findings in the attached resolution.
2.Motion to deny the request for CUP at 2701 Kenzie Terrace, based on
findings identified following the public hearing.
3.Motion to table action on the CUP, pending supplemental information
from staff or applicant.

CITY OF SAINT ANTHONY VILLAGE
HENNEPIN COUNTY, MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION 21-010
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.
73
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 uses, 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, nor
negatively impact health, safety, or welfare of the community.
7. With the proposed conditions, the City Council finds that there is no evidence to believe
that the use will have a detrimental effect on neighboring uses or property values.
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 as recommended by staff (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. The canopy must be consistent with
the materials of the principal building as required by City Code.
74
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 12th day of January, 2021.

Subject:Proposed car wash CUP
Caution: This email originated outside our organization; please use caution.
Dear Mayor Stille and Council Members,
I am strongly opposed to the car wash proposed to be built adjacent to my condo residence at Kenzington.
My number one concern is for my health and the health of my senior neighbors.
As a senior, my health is more vulnerable than a younger person's. I survived cancer six years ago and I also
have asthma. Exhaust fumes from many idling cars and harsh chemical cleaning agents would both effect my
lungs.
Those fumes create poor air quality. The exhaust fumes would be added to the traffic that we already have on
the busy roads in our immediate neighborhood. On a day with little or no wind, or with smog alerts, the air
quality will be significantly worse.
The exhaust from multiple cars idling for nine (or even fifteen!) hours a day, every day will create an
unhealthy environment. Please remember that retired seniors spend many more hours at home than working
people.
Can any of you, in truth, say you would welcome a car wash bordering your home and yard?
Part of our Village's stated mission is to be "walkable, sustainable and safe". How does this proposal align with
our mission??
One businessman wants to build a car wash. He and his family will not be negatively impacted by it. We
neighbors will. There are a lot of us, and we don't want our lives to be negatively impacted in multiple
ways...our health, peace and quiet, property values, and more.
I'm asking you to please vote against a car wash roughly 50 ft from my condo home and balcony.

P.S. I'm searching for information supporting what I've said here. I hope to send it in a follow-up email.

approval of the carwash:
1. A need to restrict use of the alley to through traffic.

2. Limit of number of cars able to idle so close to the senior
condos and neighboring homes.
3. Security lights that will be on during night time (When Kenzie
added the back parking lot, they also added a very bright light
that shown into our former house ALL night long.)
I support developing the lot to a profitable business, although a
carwash would not be my first choice.

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.

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!!

Dear Mr mayor and all city council members. I would like to express my support for the new car wash. My
name is Peter Koch I am in unit 501 at Kenzie Terrace.
I would like to support the owners and employees in there efforts to expand thier business. That area needs
improvement and would be a great addition to the city's tax rolls! I'm not sure about other residents of the
building but my property line stops at my front door and the edge of my balcony.
As a retired homeowner I sure would not like to be dictated to by neighbors about how to use my property.
I feel that the proposed use is practical and in line with the current business.
Thank you,
Your neighbor, Peter Koch

Subject:Car Wash proposed by BLVD Auto Works
Caution: This email originated outside our organization; please use caution.
Dear Mayor Stille and Council Members,
I am a resident of the Kenzington Condominium Association. I am writing regarding the proposed car wash by
BLVD Auto Works.
I am opposed to the construction of this facility for the following reasons:
1) Oil and gas runoff from the car wash, significant noise and exhaust close to a residential building.
2) Significantly increased traffic on Kenzie Terrace and the alley.
3) Decreased walkability and safety that will negatively impact the many families, children, elderly and
disabled that frequently travel the sidewalks and use the crosswalk, which by the way, drivers seldom notice or
honor. It will be essential to install a traffic light to replace the crosswalk.
4) Kenzie Terrace is a key roadway into St Anthony Village and can be welcoming and reflect the "Village" like
community and character or change and become more commercial which will diminish the ambiance and
elderly/family friendliness of St Anthony Village.
5) I hope the Village has a larger development plan because when you approved housing for 55 plus, assisted
living, affordable housing for seniors, general rental property and the renewal of the trailer court, adding a busy
car wash on this short street is out of character to our community, leaves little green space and becomes almost
a solid wall of buildings and asphalt on both sides of the street from Lowry to Silver Lake Road.
6) The alley and the streets directly off the alley are bustling residential areas with families/people walking,
children's sports, playing & biking and neighbors gathering. This will no longer be an enjoyable safe space for
the community and families because of increased traffic and noise.
7) It is my understanding the trailer court may be developed further which will increase density and traffic as
well.
8) The current auto service type business, three of them, in this small area seems to be more than enough to
serve the needs of this community. Increasing auto related business lacks functionality. Please refrain from
making Kenzie Terrace a mini Central Avenue.
9) I am confident you have heard all about the decreasing property values concern. You know it is true, will
happen and will impact the properties beyond the Kenzington. It is my experience that once a community
begins to decrease its attractiveness, desirability, walkability, enjoyability and respect of its residents, it ripples
outward and spreads to other parts of the community in unintended ways.
I hope you consider my objections, those of other neighbors and have further discussions around the
appropriateness of a car wash and decide to vote against this construction.
Thank you,

Subject:Proposed car wash next to the Kenzington
Date:Sunday, January 03, 2021 9:57:47 AM
Caution: This email originated outside our organization; please use caution.
To the Mayor and City Council:
My name is Steve Dehler and a resident of Unit 418 of the Kenzington, which overlooks the trailer park.
I have served as the President of the Board of the Kenzington Homeowners Association for 11 of the past 12 years.
In my younger years, I served as a councilman in St Joseph MN for 16 years and as Mayor for 2 years. I am well
aware of what takes place and how your decisions affect your constituents. I am still on the board at the Kenzington
but currently serving as the Secretary. I am not speaking on behalf of the Board because with the speed of the car
wash project moving to the City Council during a Covid Pandemic and the difficulty of meeting in a normal fashion,
we have not had a chance to discuss the project at a board meeting yet.
First of all, I would ask each of you to watch the planning commission’s hearing, held via Zoom and listen to what is
being said by the residents of the Kenzington and by the members of the commission. The messages speak volumes.
Secondly, the motion to send the approval recommendation to the city council was not acted upon. The only vote
taken was for an amendment to be attached to the original motion. Please have the Planning Commission take up
this issue at their next meeting to bring it before the City Council in a proper and legal manner prior to the Council
accepting their recommendation.
Thirdly, the Kenzington is not just a 5 story building next to an empty gravel lot. It is the home for 150 single
families! It is a home for the hopes and dreams of almost 200 families who have their final years planned with the
desire to live in peace and tranquillity in the city of St Anthony.
Yes, there are many examples of housing being built next to or within a commercial area. These examples are most
likely rental units designed for a more transient population and were probably built next to existing commercial
uses. The sheer imaginations of a noisy (72 decibels is not quiet) steamy car wash being built on property, 12 feet
away from a 5 story Condominium are very unnerving. Combined these with the medical implications of the
constant exposure to the car wash operations and the inability for many residents being unable to ever enjoy having
their windows open or patios used for an enjoyable conversation says to me, that this is not a proper commercial use
for this commercial lot. I, as a friend of all my neighbors here at the Kenzington, am asking you to deny the
conditional use permit application to build a car wash at 2701 Kenzie Terrace.
I am also a friend of the owner of the property and will continue to support his current businesses but am not in
favor of his current endeavor.

Subject:car wash concerns
Caution: This email originated outside our organization; please use caution.
Dear Mayor Stille and council members,
Regarding the car wash proposed by BLVD Auto Works, there are several health and safety concerns that
should be considered, as a resident/ owner that lives in the 55+ residence next door, Kensington Condominiums
in unit 319.
I am opposed to the construction of a noisy, polluting car wash very close to our building. I am one of many
tenants who have breathing difficulties, heart problems and other medical concerns. My sister and I bought our
unit to insure our retirement would be safe, secure and peaceful. A car wash would disrupt our right to peaceful
enjoyment of the property with traffic, noise and pollution. It will make our balconies unusable, and severely
affect our property values!
Please consider the needs of the neighbors. Even with proposed mitigations, allowing a car wash to be built this
close to a senior residence would be a serious mistake, with negative consequences for years to come.
Our city, with its forward-looking mission and vision, can do much better!
Sincerely,
Mary Jo Turner

Hello,
I am writing to notify you of my concerns with the recently proposed carwash between Blvd
Auto and The Kenzington. My house backs up to the proposed carwash site and I have many
concerns with the proposal. The planning work so far has many gaps. Frankly I am concerned
with the competence of the planning and zoning committee given these many gaps!
I have the following concerns:
1. Placement in a residential neighborhood
2. Alley traffic and parking
3. Lighting
4. Pollution (Noise and Car Pollution)
5. Water management
1. Although the lot is zoned commercial, it is quite small and triangular. The lot butts up
to residential housing on 2 of 3 sides. There will be a significant amount of traffic that
will negatively effect property values. We already deal with significant traffic due to the
Kenzington. The proposed site has a dumpster that faces the alley, which will result in
more traffic.
2. Due to the street layouts in the area, increased alley traffic is very likely. This is an alley
of single family homes where children frequently play and bike. Parking along our street
is already significant at times. Just this week cars were displaced from the Kenzington
parking lot due to a construction dumpster and a large crane! Currently Blvd employees
park in the empty lot. Where will Blvd and Car Wash employees park once that lot is no
longer available? There are not sufficient parking places indicated in the current plan,
accounting for the Blvd staff parking.
3. Kenzington already has extremely bright lighting along the alley that is disruptive to the
use of our home. We have had to install blackout shades in rooms facing the alley
because of the parking lot lights in order to sleep in them! The addition of the car wash
parking lot lights would add to the already present lighting problem, and further
decrease the usability of all of our yards and south facing rooms.
4. I am VERY concerned about the poor air quality that will result in area yards due to the
large volume of cars idling extremely close to my house. Car exhaust has been shown to
increase the incidence of developmental delays such as autism. Has a study been done
on the likely levels? Other area car washes have significant lines with idling cars for
hours at a time. This will be located 20 feet from fenced yards where children play
outside year round!
Additionally, there will likely be significant noise pollution from the car wash and
vacuum motors. I have not seen a study indicating how many decibels the motors will
produce. How could this have been approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission
without analyzing this data?
The volume of cars expected for a car wash is significant- as many as 600 cars on a
Saturday or Sunday, 20 feet from residents’ yards! Would you enjoy having a car wash
firing up in your back yard at 8 am on a Saturday or Sunday, nonstop, all day long? We
certainly would not like that, and I expect it will significantly reduce our property value.
I doubt any of you would appreciate that in your yard.
5. Has a full study done on water use and water management? There are already major
water drainage issues in that lot and along the alley during summer rains. Currently the
lot is permeable, and we already have this issue. How will this be managed? I have not
seen this in the plans. It seems possible that water will be directed into residents’ yards.
I do not believe the city has done their due diligence on any of these issues. I believe the Mayor
and City Council should investigate how this was passed by the Planning and Zoning
Commission with so many gaps. Regardless of the outcome of this matter, I encourage an
investigation into the competence of the Commission prior to their being presenting with
further proposals.
Given the lack of due diligence by the Planning Commission to fully analyze the project in the
interests of protecting the public and the current residents, I request that the Mayor and City
Council reject the permit application.
The Council must find that the use is not detrimental to health, safety, and general welfare of
persons residing or working in the vicinity or to the values of property in the vicinity. None of
this work has been done. This is a critical oversight. We believe the proposed use of the
property is detrimental on all fronts.

Public Comment January 8, 2021
Dear City Council members and City planner,
We have been pleased to be St Anthony residents since 1984,
and have owned our house on 27th Ave NE since July of 1987.
We are writing to express our concerns about the planning
commission’s approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for
the proposed BLVD Carwash at 2701 Kenzie Terrace. In order
for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to be given, the existing
laws regarding impact of the project must be satisfied,
specifically, in order for the CUP to be approved, The Council
must find that the use is not detrimental to health, safety, and
general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity or
to the values of property in the vicinity.
As owners of a single family home adjacent to the lot under
consideration, we have the following concerns that have not
been addressed and resolved by the St Anthony planning
commission:
2
1. Location next to residential property
2. Health/safety/general welfare
a. Air Pollution
b. Noise Pollution
c. Safety concerns
3. Water capacity and runoff management
4. Property values
1. LOCATION: The proposed carwash is in the middle of a
residential area. Our single family homes, zoned R-1 would be
adjacent to a carwash. Our neighbors to the South, the
Kensington, is a multi-family housing building. My sister, Jan
Cavanaugh, is an owner in the Kensington and shares our
concerns about the impact of a car wash built at this location.
There is no precedent in St. Anthony for a carwash adjacent to
an R-1. It is a poor choice for the use of the land considering
the housing nearby.
2. HEALTH/SAFETY/GENERAL WELFARE
A. Air Pollution. No environmental impact study was done by
St. Anthony Planning staff regarding the air pollution resulting
from idling cars. The plans submitted show a maximum
capacity of 16 cars in staging---all presumably idling. Imagine
having 16 cars idling outside your backyard for many hours a
day while in your back yard. There is no evidence presented by
the planning commission that assessed this impact. When
neighbors and I spoke with Tom, from Blvd, his business
projections are an average of 100-120 cars per day. As
someone who regularly uses a car wash, there are many rainy
or snowy days that would be eliminated, leaving the bulk of the
car washes occurring on nice days, when we would like to be
outside of our home.
B. Noise Pollution. The plan and planning commission
assessment does not include an analysis of decibel levels
during operating hours of the car wash.
a. Specific noise concerns from our perspective are cars idling,
car radios (imagine the cacophony of multiple car radios
playing different radio stations, including at least one with a
very loud bass thumping), multiple vacuums in use, and the
noise of the engine noise, buzzers, brushes, water spray and
dryers from the carwash itself. There is lack of analysis, or
demonstration that the proposal is compliant with existing city
and state noise ordinances. We believe that it is the planning
staff’s duty is to ensure that these noise elements have been
studied and submitted and are compliant.
b. Hours of operation are of concern, as the initial response of
the planning commission was to expand the requested hours of
3
the car wash from 7 am to 10 pm, 7 days per week. This
neighborhood is quiet, so that currently, we can have
conversations with neighbors outside, enjoy the sounds of birds
and can sleep past 7 am on the weekends. Imagine living next
to the noise identified above, 7 days per week, 15 hours per
day. This is obviously detrimental to the health and general
welfare of residents.
C. Safety concerns. During a cordial and thoughtful discussion
with Tom, from Blvd, we discussed the proposed fencing that
would be bordering the north side of the proposed car wash.
His plan (in accordance with the planning commission’s
recommendation) would be to build a wooden fence at least 6
feet high the length of the alley. While this could provide some
relief from car wash noise and visually, the planning
commission did not provide an analysis regarding the impact
on neighborhood safety. We have concerns about the potential
risks to safety and property damage when the fence reduces
sightlines to potential criminal behavior.
3. Water capacity and runoff management: There are millions
and millions of dollars in upcoming proposed housing projects
that will all need water. When the Lowry-Grove project was
analyzed concerns were identified relative to insufficient
infrastructure to accommodate the water needs of that project
as well as the impact of water runoff by reduction of permeable
surfaces. The projects on this end of the city, Kenzie Terrace
and Stinson Parkway development, Development 65, and
Trident Redevelopment Bremer site are under consideration for
approval. We are concerned about potential impact on R-1
water volume and adequate volume for fire suppression. In
addition, by changing the current permeable surface of the
vacant lot to non-permeable surfaces, we are concerned that
the sewer infrastructure may be inadequate to manage the
volume of water used by the carwash as well as the change to
non-permeable surface. The planning commission has not
addressed or resolved this concern.
4. Property values: As required per ordinance for a CUP
request, the City Must demonstrate there is no adverse
devaluation of the R-1 occupancies. Until all the proper
analysis of these key factors has been done
(Health/Safety/General Welfare), there is no way to make an
assessment of what will happen to property values. Given the
impacts identified above - air pollution, noise pollution, safety
concerns and water capacity, it is hard to imagine that the
value of our property will not be negatively impacted. This will
not only impact the homes along the 27th Ave alley, but also
houses even a block or two away. Certainly, the value of the
4
Kenzington condos overlooking the carwash will be negatively
impacted. From our perspective this proposed use will force
depreciation of property values. That is unacceptable to the
existing residents nearby who are paying considerable taxes to
be a part of this lovely area.
The Council must find that the use is not detrimental to health,
safety, and general welfare of persons residing or working in
the vicinity or to the values of property in the vicinity. None of
this work has been done. This is a critical oversight. We believe
the proposed use of the property is detrimental on all fronts.
In consideration of the lack of due diligence by the Planning
Commission to analyze and protect the public by examining
data required by law, we believe that the Council must reject
the conditional use permit.
Additionally we are asking that this letter be put into the public
record.
Respectfully Submitted,

Caution: This email originated outside our organization; please use caution.
Please sign this in to the City Council Meeting for January 12, 2020:
Dear Mayor and City Council,
I live at the Kenzington Condos, a 55 + building, with my husband. Our home is facing and very near to the
proposed car wash, as are 24 other condo units.
I'm a cancer survivor of 6 years and I have asthma. My health is not as robust as a young person's. I'm sure that
other seniors in our building of 150 units can say the same about their health. We are a vulnerable population.
The idling car fumes from many cars, much of the day, everyday, is my biggest concern. This will negatively
impact our air quality. Most of every day, I won't be able to open any of my windows nor use my balcony
because of my health.
I'm asking you to please oppose the construction of this car wash for the health of the seniors in the Kenzington
condos. (Many retired seniors are at home much of the day.)
Thank you,
Barbara Gottfried
Unit #307
This letter is to notify the St. Anthony City Council and Planning Commission of the many critical
omissions in the proposal for the BLVD Carwash that is going to the council for approval based
on the recommendations of the Planning Commission guided by the City Planner. In order for a
Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to be given, the existing laws regarding impact of the project
must be satisfied. There is much that has not been done.
The proposal carwash is in the middle of housing. To the immediate south is the Kensington, a
large condominium complex; to the east and south across the street is Autumn Woods, a large
apartment complex; to the north and west, single family homes, some of which would be in the
neighborhood of 30 feet away from the proposed carwash. The housing is R-1 zoned. There is
no precedent in St. Anthony for a carwash adjacent to an R-1. It is a poor choice for the use of
the land considering the housing nearby.
The Council must find that the use is not detrimental to health, safety, and general welfare of
persons residing or working in the vicinity or to the values of property in the vicinity. None of
this work has been done. This is a critical oversight. We believe the proposed use of the
property is detrimental on all fronts.
HEALTH/SAFETY/GENERAL WELFARE
Car Pollution. No environmental impact study was done by St. Anthony Planning staff. The
plans submitted show a maximum capacity of 16 cars in staging---all presumably idling. Once
these 16 spaces are used, where will the other waiting cars be? I can only assume they will be
on Kenzie Terrace—a county road? People using a carwash may choose to leave their cars idling
when using the vacuums. What is the projected emissions and it’s impact on the health of the
people in the homes and condos and apartments? How many cars per hour are projected at
peak use? I,Tom Deegan, spoke to two staff persons at the nearest carwash similar to the
proposed BLVD Carwash---Mr. Carwash at 44th and Central Ave. in Columbia Heights. They told
me,Tom Deegan, that at peak the number of cars per day is between 600 -800 cars (hours
7:30am-7pm). What is expected volume of cars projected? What are the proposed hours for
the carwash? It is something to note that Mr. Carwash is quite loud and is nowhere near an R-1
zone.
Light Pollution. The current lighting at BLVD Auto, right next to the proposed carwash, is
exceedingly bright and, we believe, already there is a negative impact to existing housing. We
believe that the existing lighting needs remediation and is possibly not within the ordinance.
Now with the added light expected at the carwash, there would seem to be an issue of further
light pollution. There needs to be an elevation submitted that demonstrates the projection of
the lights proposed do not impact the adjacent R-1 dwellings.
Noise Pollution. Where is the analysis of the decibel levels when the proposed carwash is
working at full capacity? Specifically, cars idling, all vacuums being used, and the noise of the
dryers from the carwash itself. We can only assume there will be car stereo noise. Are the
plans compliant with existing city noise ordinances? The planning staff’s duty is to ensure that
these noise elements have been studied and submitted and are compliant.
The neighborhood is quiet. This is one of the reasons people enjoy living in this area. We like
to walk our dogs and visit with our neighbors. It is impossible to fully capture the negative
impact of this project on the overall quality of life and desirability of being a homeowner, a
condo owner, an apartment dweller in this neighborhood.
WATER CONSUMPTION
There are millions and millions of dollars in upcoming proposed housing projects that will all
need water. At the time of the first iteration of the Lowry-Grove project there was concern
that there may need to be added infrastructure to accommodate the water needs of that
project. While that project went away, new projects are coming. The projects on this end of
the city, Kenzie Terrace and Stinson Parkway development, Development 65, and Trident
Redevelopment Bremer site are under consideration for approval. Where is the analysis of
water usage for the BLVD Carwash and the expected needs of the area as there is further
development been considered? How will this affect R-1 occupancies water volume? Will there
be adequate volume for fire suppression? What is the big picture in terms of water needs to
the community?
We are a top tier Green City. There are systems for car wash facilities that are Green
compliant. As there are few specifics throughout the proposal being brought forth by the
Planning Commission, the Council cannot determine if this is a Green compliant project. In fact,
it is possible to wash a car with less than 15 gallons of water then recapture and reuse almost
100% of that water. (See Denver, CO – Gleam carwash)
All of the Health/Safety/General Welfare questions are about the impact of the proposed
carwash on the health of the neighborhood’s residents. As a Green City it would seems we can
do better to protect our citizenry by being diligent and following the law before bringing this
submission to the Council.
VISION FOR THE SOUTHERN GATEWAY TO ST. ANTHONY
Is there a big picture vision for the southern gateway to the city? Does a carwash fit into that
vision?
PROPERTY VALUES
As required per ordinance for a CUP request, the City Must demonstrate there is no adverse
devaluation of the R-1 occupancies. Until all the proper analysis of these key factors has been
done (Health/Safety/General Welfare), there is no way to make an assessment of what will
happen to property values.
Will this carwash in such close proximity be detrimental to the value of the Kenzington condos
which will overlook it? Will this carwash not affect the value the homes along the 27th Ave alley
as well as across 27th Ave. most directly? Will it not affect the housing even a block or two
away, especially in terms of air quality and noise as well as and property values? We believe it
will. It seems very unlikely that these property values will Not suffer. From our perspective this
proposed use will force depreciation of property values. That is unacceptable to the existing
residents nearby who are paying considerable taxes to be a part of this lovely area.
Finally, we can only wonder at the negligence of the Planning Commission and the City Planner.
How can it be that such shoddy work has been even proposed? We are concerned and
dismayed and would like the Mayor and the City Council to investigate what is going on and do
the necessary work of oversight of the Planning Commission. We are concerned that a very
careful choice is made for the permanent City Planner.
In consideration of the lack of due diligence by the Planning Commission to analyze and protect
the public by examining data required by law, we believe that the Council must reject the
conditional use permit.
Additionally we are asking that this letter be put into the public record.
Respectfully Submitted,

Subject:CUP for Car Wash on Kenzie Terrace
Caution: This email originated outside our organization; please use caution.
Dear Mayor and City Council,
Please add this to the public comments for the January 12th meeting at 7:00.
I want to emphasize a question I wrote in my previous email to you.
Can any of you, in truth, say you would welcome a car wash bordering your home and yard?
We, as the many neighbors bordering the proposed car wash on both sides have submitted our list of negative
impact statements and a petition.
I'm a senior. Seniors are a vulnerable population! And, we seniors are a protected class under the law.
Please keep in mind, the Kenzington Condos are not just a building to be counted as one neighbor. There are
more than 150 people living here.
Thank you,

Subject:BLVD Car Wash Proposal
Caution: This email originated outside our organization; please use caution.
Hello Mayor, Council Members and City Staff,
Regarding the proposed BLVD car wash on Kenzie Terrace:
The northern boundary of the proposed plan, the side that abuttes the single family residential neighborhood,
lacked considerable definition in comparison to the western boundary where The Kenzington is located.
Elevation, vehicular access, garbage collection and details of the screening considerations for light, sound and
visual aesthetics were not included in the proposal. Before the project is voted upon I think these details need
to be established so that the neighborhood knows exactly what is being proposed.
This development exacerbates what is a rather confusing area from a planning and safety perspective.
1.
2. The 27th Ave. alley that
3. runs next to the proposed development site is rumored to be a one-way intersection between Wilson
and Kenzie Terrace and two-way between Wilson and Stinson (a stretch that runs uninterrupted for 1.5
blocks, which is unusual). The correct traffic designation
4. could not be confirmed by the city management upon request for clarification (again, unusual).
5.
6.
7. The exit of the alley on
8. Kenzie Terrace is a safety concern (confirmed with the police department) because you cannot make a
legal left or right turn out of it, which may be why the traffic at this point of the alley is intended to be
one-way (again, unconfirmed).
9.
10.
11. The intersection of the
12. 27th Ave. alley and Wilson is signed as a dead end when approaching from the north however traffic
flows through the intersection.
13.
14.
15. There is visual obstruction
16. in the NE corner of the intersection which is a hazard for pedestrians, cyclists and drivers, all of whom
regularly use this route.
17.
I feel strongly that any development on this lot does not contribute further to traffic in the single family
neighborhood immediately to the north. This triangle neighborhood is essentially an island surrounded by the
major thoroughfares of St. Anthony Boulevard, Stinson and Kenzie Terrace that also experiences traffic from
St Charles Church and School (not to mention NE cut through traffic along 27th Ave).
2
Finally, I feel like the peak operating times of the car wash are the exact opposite of what they should be for
successfully coexisting with the neighborhood. During normal times, people are home during the weekend and
that is when car washes are at peak times with constant operations. Any concerns around pollution (exhaust,
noise and light) would be amplified during times when people are home. This goes against the conditional use
permit approval condition of "not be detrimental to health, safety, general welfare of persons residing or
working in the vicinity or to the values of property living in the vicinity." in my opinion.

Comments Hello,
I am writing to notify you of my concerns with the recently
proposed carwash between Blvd Auto and The Kenzington. My
2
house backs up to the proposed carwash site and I have many
concerns with the proposal. The planning work so far has many
gaps. Frankly I am concerned with the competence of the
planning and zoning committee given these many gaps!
I have the following concerns:
1. Placement in a residential neighborhood
2. Alley traffic and parking
3. Lighting
4. Pollution (Noise and Car Pollution)
5. Water management
1. Although the lot is zoned commercial, it is quite small and
triangular. The lot butts up to residential housing on 2 of 3
sides. There will be a significant amount of traffic that will
negatively effect property values. We already deal with
significant traffic due to the Kenzington. The proposed site has
a dumpster that faces the alley, which will result in more traffic.
2. Due to the street layouts in the area, increased alley traffic is
very likely. This is an alley of single family homes where
children frequently play and bike. Parking along our street is
already significant at times. Just this week cars were displaced
from the Kenzington parking lot due to a construction dumpster
and a large crane! Currently Blvd employees park in the empty
lot. Where will Blvd and Car Wash employees park once that
lot is no longer available? There are not sufficient parking
places indicated in the current plan, accounting for the Blvd
staff parking.
3. Kenzington already has extremely bright lighting along the
alley that is disruptive to the use of our home. We have had to
install blackout shades in rooms facing the alley because of the
parking lot lights in order to sleep in them! The addition of the
car wash parking lot lights would add to the already present
lighting problem, and further decrease the usability of all of our
yards and south facing rooms.
4. I am VERY concerned about the poor air quality that will
result in area yards due to the large volume of cars idling
extremely close to my house. Car exhaust has been shown to
increase the incidence of developmental delays such as
autism. Has a study been done on the likely levels? Other area
car washes have significant lines with idling cars for hours at a
time. This will be located 20 feet from fenced yards where
children play outside year round!
Additionally, there will likely be significant noise pollution from
3
the car wash and vacuum motors. I have not seen a study
indicating how many decibels the motors will produce. How
could this have been approved by the Planning and Zoning
Commission without analyzing this data?
The volume of cars expected for a car wash is significant- as
many as 600 cars on a Saturday or Sunday, 20 feet from
residents’ yards! Would you enjoy having a car wash firing up
in your back yard at 8 am on a Saturday or Sunday, nonstop,
all day long? We certainly would not like that, and I expect it
will significantly reduce our property value. I doubt any of you
would appreciate that in your yard.
5. Has a full study done on water use and water management?
There are already major water drainage issues in that lot and
along the alley during summer rains. Currently the lot is
permeable, and we already have this issue. How will this be
managed? I have not seen this in the plans. It seems possible
that water will be directed into residents’ yards.
I do not believe the city has done their due diligence on any of
these issues. I believe the Mayor and City Council should
investigate how this was passed by the Planning and Zoning
Commission with so many gaps. Regardless of the outcome of
this matter, I encourage an investigation into the competence
of the Commission prior to their being presenting with further
proposals.
Given the lack of due diligence by the Planning Commission to
fully analyze the project in the interests of protecting the public
and the current residents, I request that the Mayor and City
Council reject the permit application.
The Council must find that the use is not detrimental to health,
safety, and general welfare of persons residing or working in
the vicinity or to the values of property in the vicinity. None of
this work has been done. This is a critical oversight. We believe
the proposed use of the property is detrimental on all fronts.
Best Regards,
Suzan Cox

Comments Hello,
I am a resident of St. Anthony Village and live on 27th Ave NE
between Stinson Blvd and Wilson. I am writing in regard to the
2
proposal of putting in a public car wash at the end of the alley
between 27th Ave NE and Kenzie Terrace. I would like to state
my strong desire for you to reconsider the location of this, and
if that is not an option, at least consider what implications
having this business in this location does to the surrounding
residents. At the very least, I would expect to see some
conversations around removing access to the alley for non-
residents so they don't use it as a thoroughfare or cut through
for easier access to the car wash.
I would beg you to think of adding barricades to restrict access
to the alley from Kenzie Terrace or Wilson at the fence line of
the apartment building. I can only imagine the increased traffic
and noise we would see, not to mention the deterioration of the
already compromised alleyway. We use this alleyway for
access to our garage while driving, and also use it when we are
walking our dog or out with our children. As with all updates to
the residential and commercial areas, I would hope and expect
the city to have the safety of our citizens at the forefront of all
decisions.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Sarah Cole, and family
2420 27th Ave NE

Comments Mr. Stillie
There should be an ordinance that would bar the Confederate
Flag from being displayed in any public venue in the city of St.
2
Anthony Max Spriggs, my father, fought at D-day. With an all
African American unit, and risked his life for this country. When
he returned from the war, he had to sit in the back of the bus
and drink from separate water fountains.
When the Confederate Flag was flown in the Nation Capital
and how it has become a staple of the Ku Klux Klan rallies and
how it has been it is waved to intimidate Black children who
were integrating schools after Brown vs. the Board of
Education. There should be no place for it in public places.
The Confederate Flag represents the states that disfranchise
Black Citizens. It is a flag that will be associated with the
January 6 insurrection. The Rebel Flag had never been flown
to my knowledge inside the halls of Congress.
In the picture that shows the Confederate flag in the halls of
Congress, there is a picture in the background of Summer, a
representative from Mississippi who was beaten by Preston
Brooks in May of 1856 on the floor of Congress for speaking
out about slavery.
So an Ordance should be introduced banning the Confederate
flag from being displayed in public places.
Thanks, Dan Spriggs

Comments Mayor Stille,
I am writing to notify you of my concerns with the recently
proposed carwash between Blvd Auto and The Kenzington.
2
This site is just across the alley from my backyard. The
proposed project will negatively impact me and my family. If
approved it will be detrimental to our quality of life. I am
shocked that such a project was recommended for approval by
our Planning Commission.
I would like to call on the city to deny this project based on the
following concerns. All of these should have been raised by the
Planning Commission. Their oversight is cause for broader
concern as many larger projects are proposed in St. Anthony
over the next several years.
I have the following specific concerns with regard to the
proposed car wash:
Adjacency to a residential neighborhood
Alley traffic and parking
Noise pollution
Air pollution
Lighting
Adjacency To A Residential Neighborhood
The lot itself may not be zoned as residential, but the lot itself is
very small. Residential housing neighbors it. If the project
moves forward, neighboring single family homes will be
impacted by activity at the site: traffic, noise, traffic, air
emissions, and water pollution. Our quality of life will suffer. I
believe my property value will suffer. I certainly would not have
purchased my home had there been a car wash across the
alley at the time. I am aware of no study that has been
completed that demonstrates that property values cannot suffer
as a result of such a project. As such, the concern is real and
should have been addressed by the Planning Commission.
There is a reason why new construction of car washes next to
residential areas is rare, if it happens all.
Alley Traffic and Parking
The alley is already heavily used and this project might result in
congestion in the alley. It could well result in our neighbors
losing access to their garages if cars back up in the alley while
waiting for washes. I understand too that there is potential for
garbage trucks to access the alley to remove trash from a large
dumpster on the site, a very different activity from unloading of
small residential cans. Such activity could generate a lot of
noise in the neighborhood. Additionally, I anticipate traffic and
parking spilling onto Wilson and 27th Ave, creating crowding
and potentially safety issues.
3
Noise Pollution
I am aware of no study that has been done to quantify the level
of noise that will be in our neighborhood after this project is
complete. However, I have a swing set in my backyard. If
children play on the swing set, I want them to be able to do so
without damaging their hearing. I want my children to be able to
sleep at night. I have no confidence that the carwash, if
approved, will not result in disruption to my family. The
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency has set thresholds for
noise in residential areas. The project has not demonstrated
that noise in our neighborhood will be below those thresholds
upon completion. It has not demonstrated that noise will be
below thresholds during construction. This work needs to be
done before anything can be approved on this site.
Air Pollution
I have no idea what impact a number of idling cars will have on
the air in the alley, but I want people to be able to walk down
the alley and use their garages without suffering ill effects from
fume inhalation. I want our neighbors at the Kenzington to be
able to use their balconies without suffering ill effects from
exhaust. I am aware of no study that has been done to study
these impacts.
Lighting
I am very concerned about the light pollution that could be
produced by this project. Bedroom windows in my house face
the site. Children sleep in those rooms. Light pollution from the
construction project and/or from the finished project could
negatively impact my children. It could cause issues with their
sleep. It could cause issues with their ability to learn in school.
It could be detrimental to our quality of life.
I do not believe the proposed project has done the necessary
work to address any of these issues. In order to approve, the
Council must find that the use is not detrimental to health,
safety, and general welfare of persons residing or working in
the vicinity or to the values of property in the vicinity.
However, this project, if approved, will be detrimental to
general welfare. There is also good reason to suspect that it
could lower property values and cause ill effects on health. For
those reasons, the council should reject the application.
In addition, the council should review the qualifications of
members of the Planning Commission members and offer
training or take other steps to ensure competent work by the
members.

Hi Randy,
It's Mike Wandell. I'm not sure we've ever really formally met outside of National Night Out events where you
end up talking to too many people to keep track of but we were on a Healing Circle call together a month or so
ago so I'm assuming my name might ring a bell.
I'm writing because I live on the south side of 27th Ave NE and the alley behind my house bumps up to the
proposed Car Wash development location and I have several concerns about that empty lot becoming a car
wash.
I'm very concerned about the environmental and economic impact that it will have on our neighborhood and
ultimately the community as a whole. Some broad stroke concerns I have are:
Air Pollution
Noise Pollution
Light Pollution
Water Runoff and Sewer Capacity
Traffic on 27th Ave and Kenzie Terrace
And of course how all the above will affect Property Values
I believe I have heard that the proposal for this Car Wash is going to be sent back to the Planning Commission
instead of being voted on tomorrow but I also have concerns as to how this was initially approved by the
planning commission without taking many of my above concerns into consideration - let alone that idea
building a car wash on that site means that there will always be a car wash in that location as the building
won't be easily converted into another type of business which probably isn't in line with the City of Saint
Anything Village's comprehensive growth plan.
2
My wife Beth and I would appreciate an opportunity to discuss the proposal with you before this goes to a
vote. Is that something you'd be willing to do?
Also, I'd like to reinforce the fact that I'm a concerned citizen and neighbor to this proposed development. I'm
not someone that opposes change and/or growth and opportunity for SAV.
In fact, I've been a resident of SAV since 2002 and am actively involved with several organizations - Current
President of the WPPA, Board Member of the SANBE Foundation, Co-Navigator (leader) of the Voyager
Organization along with Mark Kalar who you know from his days on the Planning Commission, Boosters Soccer
Coach, Nourish 282 Volunteer and Fundraiser, the official unofficial mayor of SOSA (this title is quite an honor)
and supporter of all things in Saint Anthony Village that I believe in, including helping out neighbors in need
(example: Mark Sitarz and Richard Sonterre recently reached out to me asking if I could get a team together to
help clear out significant yard overgrowth for a house on Edward Street where the homeowner is physically
and financially unable to get his yard up to code). Oh, and I voted for you too if that counts for anything.
Anyway, please let me know when a good time to talk might be.
Thank you,

Dear Planning Commissioners,
I live at the Kenzington Condos, a 55 + building, with my husband. Our home is facing and very near to the
proposed car wash, as are 24 other condo units.
I'm a cancer survivor of 6 years and I have asthma. My health is not as robust as a young person's. I'm sure that
other seniors in our building of 150 units can say the same about their health.
The idling car fumes from many cars much of the day, everyday, is my biggest concern. This will negatively
impact our air quality. Most of every day, I won't be able to open any of my windows nor use my balcony
because of my health.
I'm asking you to please oppose the construction of this car wash for the health of the seniors in the Kenzington
condos. (Many retired seniors are at home much of the day.)
Thank you,
Barbara Gottfried

Dear Randy,
2
This is a more detailed and formal follow up to the email I sent
directly to your email address (randy.stille@savmn.com)
requesting the opportunity to speak with you regarding the
BLVD Autoworks proposed Car Wash addition.
My wife Beth and I are proud members of the Saint Anthony
Village community. We are active in many volunteer
organizations within the community and have done our best to
try and make SAV a better place. I am the current President of
the WPPA and a Co-Navigator (leader) in the Voyagers
organization. This organization has recently helped with
several situations that have directly helped the city and its
residents.
Beth volunteers for countless events and activities within the
community as well. She is also a substitute teacher at Wilshire
Park and was one of very few subs that was willing to work this
fall, which helped keep the school open as long as possible.
We have owned our home on 27th Avenue NE since 2002 and
have been very happy with our little pocket in the SAV
community (SOSA as it’s known).
We are reaching out to you because we are very concerned
about the planning commission’s approval of a Conditional Use
Permit (CUP) for the proposed BLVD Carwash at 2701 Kenzie
Terrace. In order for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to be
given, the existing laws regarding impact of the project must be
satisfied, specifically, in order for the CUP to be approved, The
Council must find that the use is not detrimental to health,
safety, and general welfare of persons residing or working in
the vicinity or to the values of property in the vicinity.
As owners of a single family home adjacent to the lot under
consideration, we have the following concerns that have not
been addressed and resolved by the St Anthony planning
commission:
1. Location next to residential property
2. Health/safety/general welfare
a. Air Pollution
b. Noise Pollution
c. Safety concerns
3. Water capacity and runoff management
4. Property values
1. LOCATION: The proposed carwash is in the middle of a
residential area. Our single family homes, zoned R-1 would be
adjacent to a carwash. Our neighbors to the South, the
Kensington, is a multi-family housing building.
As far as I am aware, there is no precedent in St. Anthony for a
carwash adjacent to an R-1 and we feel that building a car was
3
is a poor choice for the use of the land considering the housing
nearby.
2. HEALTH/SAFETY/GENERAL WELFARE
A. Air Pollution. No environmental impact study was done by
St. Anthony Planning staff regarding the air pollution resulting
from idling cars. The plans submitted show a maximum
capacity of 16 cars in staging---all presumably idling. Imagine
having 16 cars idling outside your backyard for many hours a
day while in your back yard. There is no evidence presented by
the planning commission that assessed this impact.
B. Noise Pollution. The plan and planning commission
assessment does not include an analysis of decibel levels
during operating hours of the car wash.
a. Specific noise concerns from our perspective are cars idling,
car radios (imagine the cacophony of multiple car radios
playing different radio stations, including at least one with a
very loud bass thumping), multiple vacuums in use, and likely
most concerning is the constant noise of the blowers inside the
car wash along with the added noise of the sprayers and other
noises that emit from a carwash. There is lack of analysis, or
demonstration that the proposal is compliant with existing city
and state noise ordinances. We believe that it is the planning
staff’s duty is to ensure that these noise elements have been
studied and submitted and are compliant.
b. Hours of operation are of concern, as the initial response of
the planning commission was to expand the requested hours of
the car wash from 7 am to 10 pm, 7 days per week. This
neighborhood is quiet, so that currently, we can have
conversations with neighbors outside, enjoy the sounds of birds
and can sleep past 7 am on the weekends. Imagine living next
to the noise identified above, 7 days per week, 15 hours per
day. This is obviously detrimental to the health and general
welfare of residents.
3. Water capacity and runoff management: There are millions
and millions of dollars in upcoming proposed housing projects
that will all need water. When the Lowry-Grove project was
analyzed concerns were identified relative to insufficient
infrastructure to accommodate the water needs of that project
as well as the impact of water runoff by reduction of permeable
surfaces. The projects on this end of the city, Kenzie Terrace
and Stinson Parkway development, Development 65, and
Trident Redevelopment Bremer site are under consideration for
approval. We are concerned about potential impact on R-1
water volume and adequate volume for fire suppression. In
addition, by changing the current permeable surface of the
4
vacant lot to non-permeable surfaces, we are concerned that
the sewer infrastructure may be inadequate to manage the
volume of water used by the carwash as well as the change to
non-permeable surface. The planning commission has not
addressed or resolved this concern.
4. Property values: As required per ordinance for a CUP
request, the City Must demonstrate there is no adverse
devaluation of the R-1 occupancies. Until all the proper
analysis of these key factors has been done
(Health/Safety/General Welfare), there is no way to make an
assessment of what will happen to property values. Given the
impacts identified above - air pollution, noise pollution, safety
concerns and water capacity, it is hard to imagine that the
value of our property will not be negatively impacted. This will
not only impact the homes along the 27th Ave alley, but also
houses even a block or two away. Certainly, the value of the
Kenzington condos overlooking the carwash will be negatively
impacted. From our perspective this proposed use will force
depreciation of property values. That is unacceptable to the
existing residents nearby who are paying considerable taxes to
be a part of this community.
The Council must find that the use is not detrimental to health,
safety, and general welfare of persons residing or working in
the vicinity or to the values of property in the vicinity. To date,
none of this work has been done. This is a critical oversight.
We believe the proposed use of the property is detrimental on
all fronts.
In consideration of the lack of due diligence by the Planning
Commission to analyze and protect the public by examining
data required by law, we believe that the Council must reject
the conditional use permit.
Additionally we are asking that this letter be put into the public
record.
Respectfully Submitted,

Hi Charlie,
Please forward the attached to mayor and City council.
Neither of these statements were written by me, but rather by professionals in real estate and noise
assessment.
Both deserve close examination by the council in evaluating the car wash CUP proposal.
Thank you,

Re: Proposed car wash at 2701 Kenzie Terrace
To Whom it may concern;
A resident from 2601 Kenzie Terrace reached out to me today. He asked if I would give an
opinion on the proposed development of a single lane car wash with 9 to 12 car vacuum
stations abutting his residential senior living condominium unit. I have not seen the property
but from what Paul McHugh explained to me I imagine that these are some of the
considerations that should be weighed:
Air pollution from idling cars
Noise pollution from vacuums, idling cars and the running carwash
Noise from the customers (loud talking,auto music, mufflers, etc)
Reduced value of residential property facing the car wash(potentially severe)
Reduced quality of life for the residents being subject to all of the above
I have never met Mr. McHugh. A fellow real estate broker gave him my name. Although the
above observations are expressed by a real estate professional they seem to me to be
obvious.

RE: Conditional Use Permit Application for Car Wash located
at 2701 Kenzie Terrace
Dear Mayor and Council Members:
This letter is offered on behalf of multiple residents of the
Kensington Condominiums relating to the conditional use
permit (CUP) application for a car wash located at 2701 Kenzie
Terrace, St. Anthony Village, Minnesota (Property).
The proposed car wash is located contiguous to the
Kensington Condominiums (the Kensington) to the east, and
single family residential to the north. The Kensington is a senior
(55+) eligible building, occupied and owned by many residents
2
with aging conditions. The five-story Kensington has 19
balconies that will directly overlook the entry to the car wash.
The granting of the CUP for this use is governed by the
required findings set forth in SAV Code §152.243. The burden
is on the applicant to prove, based upon facts in the record,
that the use will conform to the stated standards and criteria for
the issuance of the CUP. Roselawn Cemetery v. City of
Roseville, Minn. App. 689 NW2d 254, 259. SAV Code
§152.243(c)(4) provides:
(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
Nearby residents of the Property have provided substantial
testimony on the record directly bearing on this finding. Fact-
based comments, concerns and testimony has addressed
issues relating, but not limited to:
• Adverse noise impacts from dryer blowers, vacuums, idling
vehicles;
• Adverse air quality impacts due to exhaust of idling vehicles,
airborne particles, potentially affecting the health of adjacent
senior residents;
• Adverse impacts on adjacent residential property values.
Additionally, sound expert, Stephen Platisha PE, submitted an
assessment of noise impacts of the proposed car wash and
nearby residential receptors, concluding that the car wash
operations could likely cause a violation of state standards.
Given the intensity of the car wash impacts of vehicle trips,
noise, air pollution and safety concerns, this use is simply
incompatible with existing surrounding neighboring residential
land uses. The undisputed evidence in the record compels the
conclusion that the proposed use for the Property would
produce adverse impacts, detrimental to the health, safety, or
general welfare to persons residing or working in the vicinity or
to the values of property in the vicinity. Based upon the facts
and the record, we respectfully submit that the CUP application
must be denied.
Sincerely,
Timothy J. Keane
