Through this Agreement the Municipality intends to contract with NYFS to provide such services to its residents and to act as a sponsor of NYFS by providing financial support, a method to establish appropriate services to be provided and policy guidance for its activities. c.

This base amount will be adjusted annually for inflation/deflation based on the Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) and municipal population estimates based on MN State Demographic Center.

Any new municipality joining into this agreement will pay a base amount annually to NYFS that is on par with the amount paid by current participating municipalities. iv. Amounts payable by the Municipality shall be paid to NYFS on or before January 30th of each year, or at a date mutually agreed upon by both parties, to cover the Municipality’s share for that year. e.

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. As you are aware, the Council referred action on this item back to the Planning Commission to finalize and clarify its recommendation. The Commission met on January 19 and took up the item, with the 11 conditions that were incorporated into the motion at their prior meeting. Staff had included the many written submitted comments from neighbors of the property in the Commission’s packet, but the hearing had been closed on December 15, and no public verbal comment was taken. The Commission members brought the item to the table, and discussed it briefly. Comments from Commissioners predominantly related to their satisfaction that they had reviewed the subject thoroughly at their previous meeting, and did not believe it needed significant further review. With that, Commissioners asked for a vote on the full staff recommendation together with the 11 conditions, including the hours of operation condition that they had previously approved. That motion passed 4 in favor, 0 against, and 1 abstention due to that Commissioner not being a member at the time of the prior discussion. This action brings the item back to the City Council with a Planning Commission recommendation of approval of the CUP, with the attendant 11 conditions. 29 GENERAL INFORMATION Applicant: Boulevard Autoworks Owner: Boulevard Autoworks Location: 2801 Kenzie Terrace Existing Land Use / Zoning: Vacant / Zoned: C, Commercial Surrounding Land North: Single Family / Zoned: R-1 – Single Family Residential Use / Zoning: East: Commercial / Zoned: C – Commercial South: Commercial / Zoned: C – Commercial West: Multi Family Residential/ Zoned: PUD – Planned Unit Development Deadline for Agency Complete Application Date: 11-17-20 Action: 60 Days: 1-16-20 Letter Sent: Yes 120 Days: 3-17-20 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. 30 The proposed car wash building would be located toward the north/middle portion of the property, utilizing the middle of three existing curb cuts to Kenzie Terrace. The other two curb cut access points would be closed. Traffic is designed to enter the site and circulate counter-clockwise around the building to the entrance at the west end, exiting the building to the east, with access to a series of one-way driveways that provide access to outdoor vacuum stations on the south side of the building. The site plan also provides 6 additional parking stalls on the site in two separate bays. Automobile Service and Car Washes are both listed as Conditional Uses in the C, Commercial zoning district. (Sections 152.122 D. and F.). The zoning ordinance provides a series of setback requirements as follows: Front Yard (from street right of way): 35 feet Side Yard: 10 feet Rear Yard: 25 feet to an alley The zoning ordinance imposes an additional setback requirement in Commercial zoning districts adjacent to Residential zoning districts, which provides: Setbacks from residential districts. There 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 31 stacking lanes, and noise from two sources – the exit dryer location, and the proposed exterior vacuum stations shown on the site plan. To mitigate these issues, staff has proposed some specific additions and changes to the site plan designed to moderate these impacts. As noted above, it is not reasonable to require the elimination of all impacts of commercial activity on the property. However, these recommended changes are intended to address those additional impacts of the proposed use. 1. Revise the plan to shift the facility and westerly egress lane at least 5 feet to the east (see next note). 2. In this additional setback space, plant a continuous row of Spruce trees no greater than 15 feet on center, to create and grow a buffer between the access aisle and the adjoining multi-family residential building. Due to the proposed grade and retaining wall, a wider space (and thus, greater shift) may be necessary to accommodate this planting. 3. Add larger evergreen trees to the northwest corner of the site to moderate impacts of headlights in the stacking lane. 4. Reorient the parking/access lanes in the front area to 90 degree parking angles, and eliminate the one-way circulation patterns that add unnecessary pavement. 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. 11. Hours of operation limited to between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. These recommendations are illustrated, in part, as follows: 32 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. 33 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.

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. CITY COUNCIL ACTION Staff and Planning Commission recommend the following Motion: 1.

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. 53 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. 54 From: JL Fleming <oxfordjet@gmail.com> Sent: Monday, December 7, 2020 4:56 PM To: planner@savmn.com Cc: Yvonne M <yvonnemeyer@hotmail.com>; Steve Dehler <stevedehler@gmail.com>; bbrozak <ebbrozak@comcast.net>; ljeremiason@outlook.com; David Eichinger <esw@usa.com> 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!! LJK 56 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 57 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 Comments for City Council Meetings First Name Cary and Gary Last Name Zahrbock Phone Number 612-270-0636 Email Address czahrbock@gmail.com Address 2704 27th Ave NE City St. Anthony State Minnesota Zip Code 55418 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: 59 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 60 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 61 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, Cary Zahrbock Gary Zahrbock 2704 27th Ave NE St. Anthony, MN 55418 Email not displaying correctly?

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 63 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 64 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 65 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.

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!

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). 69 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. -Thomas Isaacson 2604 Pahl Ave 70 1 Charlie Yunker From:noreply@civicplus.com Sent:Tuesday, January 12, 2021 10:48 AM To:Charlie Yunker Subject:Online Form Submittal: Public Comments for City Council Meetings Caution: This email originated outside our organization; please use caution.

Comments Hello, I am writing to notify you of my concerns with the recently proposed carwash between Blvd Auto and The Kenzington. My 73 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 74 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.

I am writing in regard to the 76 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 Email not displaying correctly?

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. 81 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. 82 4 Best Regards, Jesse Pikturna 2616 27th Ave NE Email not displaying correctly?

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. 84 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.

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.)

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 88 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 89 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, J. Michael Wandell Elizabeth C.

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.

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 97 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 Kutak Rock LLP Email not displaying correctly? View it in your browser. 98 99 100 101 102 103 104 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.(A) None of this work has been done. (B) This is a critical oversight. We believe the proposed use of the property is detrimental on all fronts. (B-1) HEALTH/SAFETY/GENERAL WELFARE Car Pollution. No environmental impact study was done by St. Anthony Planning staff. (C) 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? (D) 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. (E) NOTE A (Full Text) (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. NOTE B: (See remainder of the report) NOTE B-1: Granted the neighbors believe this, but the City must act on factual evidence, not “belief”. NOTE C: No Environmental Impact Study is indicated or required by MN Rules. Cars idling at car wash facilities (rarely exceeding 10 or so) are common throughout Twin Cities and elsewhere, with no reports of air quality violations that staff is aware of. Examples estimate approximately one car being served at competitive locations per minute. NOTE D: PC is proposing max hours of 7:00a.m. to 10:00 p.m. – owner stated 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. during PC meeting. NOTE E: Applicants submitted a lighting plan, including fixture type, location, and photometric “contour” plan. The City’s ordinance identifies lighting thresholds as a possible nuisance – this is an ongoing operational requirement, and which is also addressed in staff report (Condition 9). 105 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. (F) The neighborhood is quiet. (G) 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? (H) 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. (I) 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. (J) 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. NOTE F: Noise is addressed in City’s nuisance code, and this is an ongoing operational condition. Applicant has designed facilities to face exit garage to east, oriented away from Kenzington, approximately 170 feet from that building and 200 feet from single family to the north. Moreover, planning staff has recommended that additional screening, including permanent covered structures be added to mitigate potential noise impacts. NOTE G: This property is located along a major 4-lane County Road adjacent to, and across from, Commercial development areas. NOTE H: There is no indication from City Engineering or Public Works staff that there is any reason to be concerned about water quantities or consumption. Moreover, the Comp Plan has identified the various existing and future uses in the area (high density residential and commercial), and utility planning would have identified if there was any water supply issues that would require study prior to approval of any particular use. NOTE I: The City encourages these policies – the City does not (currently) have regulations that require them. If the City wants to require them, it would have to enact amendments to its codes to do so. NOTE J: The standards refer to the “vicinity”, the “area”, and the “district” in which the proposed CUP is located, as well as to the “public convenience” and the “general welfare”. Neighbor location and impact is important, but not the only factor. 106 VISION FOR THE SOUTHERN GATEWAY TO ST. ANTHONY Is there a big picture vision for the southern gateway (K) 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 (L) 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 (M). 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. NOTE K: The Comprehensive Plan considers the “southern gateway” to consist of the Urban Grove 15 acres – recommendations in the Comp Plan all refer to traffic management in this area – no “master plan” or other vision is part of the City’s planning documents. NOTE L: As the writer notes, the various requirements are those that bear on property value. The City’s review of the application, and conditions added, are designed to mitigate potential negative impacts. It is the duty of the Planning Commission and City Staff to judge, based on evidence presented, whether the required four factors have been addressed, or would be addressed by the proposed conditions. NOTE M: It is understood that the writer believes it to be “unlikely” that property values will not be negatively affected. Again, the Planning Commission is required to base their decision on evidence – and make a judgement about the evidence submitted – not on the generalized fears/concerns of the public. The Planning Commission did this by requiring the conditions of approval, which are designed to mitigate those concerns. The conditions include: - Increase setbacks from adjoining property; - Increase evergreen planting to create additional buffering; - Increase evergreen planting to screen headlight glare; - Reorient drive aisles to reduce pavement; - Retain current building orientation to direct exit noise away from residential areas; - Adhere to site plan change that consolidate multiple access 107 driveways to/from Kenzie to a single location; - Add solid fencing and landscaping to increase buffer toward single family area (and prohibit access to alley); - Add a permanent canopy cover, and side-walls to limit potential noise from vacuum stations; - Reduce parking lot lighting height, and ensure hooded down-cast fixtures to limit/eliminate light glare onto adjoining property; - Comply with any Engineering requirements to property manage utilities, drainage, and stormwater; - Limit hours of operation to retail business hours. Further, as noted, the operation will need to continue to adhere to existing regulations related to light, noise, odors/fumes, and related nuisance code as an ongoing requirement. These would be required conditions of any allowed commercial use on the subject property, which is zoned for such uses. Finally, the law requires that the City must consider a use identified as a Conditional Use in a zoning district to be presumptively allowed on properly zoned land. The ability of the City to add conditions that mitigate potential negative impacts is the primary scope of City authority. Denial must be based on specific factual data that cannot be mitigated, not mere speculation or concerns. Additionally we are asking that this letter be put into the public record.

Dear Mayor, City Council, Planning Commissioners, Charlie Yunker, and Steve Grittman, I'm writing to urge you as strongly as I can to deny the CUP for the proposed car wash on Kenzie Terrace. As a retired senior, I want to stay healthy and enjoy life with my husband at Kenzington. I'm asking all of you to please hear what we neighbors who are living here, so close to the proposed car wash, are saying... Our lives will be negatively impacted daily, in multiple ways, for as many as 15 hours a day! Close to three dozen emails in opposition to the car wash have been submitted to the city, many from residents of the single-family homes nearby. Doubtless more will be sent. A petition from the Kenzington with more than 70 signatures has also been submitted. (We Kenzington seniors own our homes and value our balconies!) We have also submitted expert testimony from professionals in support of our concerns. Environmentally, this car wash will significantly increase levels of air and water pollution, and reduce water available for other local needs. We residents, including children and aging seniors, have a right to vital health, peaceful yards and balconies, neighborhood walkability, and stable property values. These are the quality-of-life basics desired by most people! Why would city officials prioritize - in violation of section 152.243(C)(3) of city code! - one man's business venture over the well-being of numerous nearby residents?

My name is Adele Kunde, email akunde21@comcast.net. I live in Unit 108. If car wash is built, it will be just outside my unit. When I moved here in 1994, my intention was to stay here until I am unable to do so. I was very surprised to get the mailing from the City about the car wash -- very short notice, in the midst of the pandemic. Needless to say, I'm upset. I've been frustrated as I'm physically unable to attend City meetings (mainly due to Covid-19), and unable to do Zoom to attend City meetings. So I'm thankful for you folks and others here at the Kenzington and residents in our neighborhood to get our message to the City. I'm thankful for whoever coordinated the petition that I signed. Whatever the outcome of tonight's meeting, I'd appreciate knowing the City's decision. If there's a posting on the St. Anthony web site, please let me know, and I could access the information. I think it would be a lot better if this proposal is put on hold until we as a community can attend in person. (My first choice would be to deny the car wash proposal.) Again, thank you for "taking on" opposition to the car wash. 111 2 Adele Kunde 612-788-4659 112 1 Charlie Yunker From:Paul McHugh <paulmchughmn@gmail.com> Sent:Monday, January 18, 2021 5:07 PM To:Charlie Yunker Cc:Marcey Westrick; Meridith Socha; Brian Rude; Corey Erickson; Paul Morita; Thomas Kuykendall; Randy Stille; Tom Randle; Jan Jenson; Wendy Webster; Bernard Walker Subject:Letter to the SAV Planning Commission Caution: This email originated outside our organization; please use caution.

It would be a disaster in terms of its effect on our quality of life ("general welfare"); on our physical and evenmental health; and, for those reasons, also on the value of our property. As you know, the SAV ordinance governing the issuance of a CUP, City Code Section 152.243(C)(3), states: “(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 ...” It may be difficult to provide scientific proof of the property value impacts of this car wash. After all, proof would require an economic study based on data, yet data for such a study would be difficult to find, given the relative rarity - for reasons that should be obvious - of car washes being allowed next to residential areas. So, instead, please ask yourself how you think you'd feel living within 40-100 feet of a car wash that generated noise impacts on your home that the car wash proponent compared, in his testimony at the public hearing, to the sound of a nearby vacuum cleaner. To that noise level, add noises from mufflers, loud speakers, radios, and people shouting above all the noise. If that sounds unpleasant to you, wouldn't you expect to need to offer a lower sale price than otherwise in order to find potential buyers? Isn't this just common sense? I'd also like to comment on the Commission's process of soliciting citizen input through the December 15 public hearing. If SAV and the Planning Commission are committed to the values of genuine citizen participation and full inclusion, why would the city schedule a public hearing about a highly impactful development like a car wash, adjacent to a 55+ condominium and a family-rich residential area, for a date in the busiest month of the year, during a pandemic that makes both physical and virtual participation by seniors extremely difficult, with less than two weeks notice? And, given that the city did do this, how could anyone state with a straight face, as the city planner did at the December 15 hearing, that a "heavy burden" of proof of adverse impacts rests on the residents opposed to the car wash - when citizens clearly had very little time to examine impacts, let alone provide proof of them - especially seniors during a dangerous pandemic? In closing, let me ask you this: Given the above, before voting on the CUP, are you willing to re-examine the appropriateness of approving it in light of the 45-50 pages of public comment, including expert testimony, in the public record? If not, why not? 113 2 Thank you, Paul McHugh Kenzington Condominiums Unit 307 114 1 Charlie Yunker From:Randy Stille Sent:Wednesday, January 13, 2021 6:43 PM To:mwandell@gmail.com Cc:Charlie Yunker Subject:Re: Online Form Submittal: Send Mayor Randy Stille an Email Mr. Wandell, Thank you for your email which I have forwarded to the Interium City Manager for addition to the public record.

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 116 3 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 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 117 4 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 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, 118 5 J. Michael Wandell Elizabeth C.

As one of the residents in the Kenzington who will overlook the car wash, I am deeply concerned about how this car wash will affect the health, lifestyle, and finances of the Kenzington residents that face in the direction. I suffer from asthma and I am worried about how the exhaust fumes from cars waiting to get washed will affect me and other seniors with breathing issues. In addition, the noise from the dryers, vacuums, car radios and people talking will also be a significant problem. During the Planning Commission meeting, it was stated that the dryers will produce ‘only’ 75 decibels of noise on our balconies – that’s about the level of a vacuum cleaner. How would you like a vacuum cleaner constantly running outside your balcony for 12 hours a day? I am a night owl who sleeps late in the morning and the thought of all that unpleasant noise starting early in the morning is very concerning. If this project is allowed to be built, none of us on that side of the building will be able to use our balconies for conversation with friends or quiet relaxation or even be able to open our sliding glass doors or windows for ventilation. Another issue is financial. As a realtor, I can assure you that the value of our units will decrease once that project starts construction. There are 25 units that face that side and each is worth at least $100,000 in the current real estate market. That’s about $2,500,000 in total market value. When you add in the $1,500,000 total value of the 5 single family homes closest to the site, at $300,000 per house, you get a total market value of housing directly affect by this project of at least $4,000,000. There is no way to definitely know how much our market values will be reduced but even at a very conservative figure of 10%, the city and county will be losing at least $400,000 in taxable market value. Based on my experience with selling condos, I suspect that the market value loss is more likely to be in the 20%-25% range. I consulted with several of my realtor colleagues to make sure that I wasn’t being overly pessimistic and they agreed that the reduction in value would likely be substantial and that 20%-25% did not seem unreasonable. In addition, although there is no way of knowing for sure, I suspect that the other units in our building will also suffer a market value reduction somewhat less than those of us who face the car wash. The resulting noise, light, and air pollution make the proposed car wash about the worst use of land next to residential dwellings that I can think of and certainly violates the provisions of City Code Section 152.243(C)(3). Imagine what it would be like for you and your families to have to live next to it.

Hello I am a resident at 2601 Kenzie Terrace. Please consider the following before you vote to allow a car wash: 1. what are your plans for traffic control? 2. how will this additional business affect traffic jams? 3. have you made a plan to safely guide traffic through this area? 4. where will the excess traffic flow? 5. are extra traffic lights going to be necessary and if so, does this affect driver safety? 6. the plan seems excessive along with other businesses on the other side of the street. Have you taken that into consideration? I am not concerned about my property value. I am concerned about safety. The traffic flow will most likely double because as the COVID crisis abates, all the businesses will go back to experiencing significant numbers entering in and out of their lots. How much backup traffic can this area 2 hold? From the intersection of St. Anthony Blvd and 2601 it is only about 2 blocks long. Two stop and go lights between. Will you redirect traffic to accommodate the change? I am very concerned!!! This plan will be a danger to drivers and pedestrians. Also, there is a bus stop in front of my property. How will the increase in traffic affect the safety of riders? Please vote no for the building of this unsafe business. We cannot improve the economy of St. Anthony if it means bringing danger to our community. I know there would be an increase in tax banks, but is that worth the price? I appreciate any consideration you will give to this situation. It is clearly a difficult choice to say "NO". But leaders have to make a choice to commit to safety in our streets.

Caution: This email originated outside our organization; please use caution. Hello, I am writing to make one last plea that the council and mayor vote AGAINST the proposed car wash at 2701 Kenzie Ter. I have looked at the "packet" of info for the meeting provided on your website. Counting the 70 or so people that signed a petition against this there are close to 100 DOCUMENTED examples of people that are against this!! Also, I have talked to a few people here that have sent e-mails, or letters via US Mail, that are NOT included in this packet of info. Also, a couple of people, have talked to council members on the phone. I counted 3 ( Tom of BLVD Auto included) documents in support this project. One being from well known NE business owner Walt Sentyrz, who lives in St Anthony, but nowhere NEAR the proposed car wash. He merely provides a shining endorsement of Tom Archambault, which I or anyone against this project, does NOT dispute. Many people here have all their car service needs taken care of by Tom, and are very happy with that. I cannot BELIEVE that ANYONE would disregard the wishes of THIS many neighbors and customers, for their own possible financial gain. I would bet EVERYTHING that I own, that if this proposal was 40-50 feet from YOUR windows and ONLY outdoor space you would all be vehemently opposed to it as well. We (Kenzington residents and single family homeowners nearby) are UNITED in an effort to stop this project from happening. We DO have a lawyer, and are prepared to fight this to the bitter end. I hope it does NOT come to that! Your own" City Code Section 152.24 (c) (3)" ( I shouldn't have to type it out for you,) PROHIBITS this thing being built. Are you REALLY willing to break your OWN law to support this? We stand to lose THOUSANDS in home values if this thing is built. You've all seen the MANY reasons that this thing should be voted down. You've seen information from a sound expert and realtors. What more do you need to do the right thing for the majority of people affected? We have no problem with Tom building some kind of building on his property. Hopefully, it would be something quiet. Outside of a rock and roll, or rap music night club, I cannot think of ANYTHING worse than a car wash to be FORCED to live so close too! I'm sure the city coffers are salivating at the amount of property taxes that could be generated by this project. I'll bet that the amount of money that it would generate would be MORE than offset by the 40 or so homeowners whose home values plummet and the reductions in property tax amounts that will follow. A friend of mines wife, who is a realtor, told me that not ONLY would the property values go down for the 25 homeowners on this side of the building, but for EVERYONE in this building. 150 homeowners in all. I'm sure that in addition to the houses along 27th Ave, a few houses on Cleveland St NE and Pahl Ave would be affected as well. I'm guessing another 15 or so single family homeowners would be affected. Supposedly, we live in a democracy, even though the last 4 years have put THAT theory to a major test! Elected officials should be voting for what the MAJORITY of their constituents want. NOT their own feelings about the project or the assumed financial gain for the city. Going by YOUR packet of info, there are 30 or so people against this for every 1 person for it! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, think about us and vote AGAINST this project. Thank you.

Two years ago I considered myself lucky to purchase a retirement home here in St.Anthony. I fear that may soon turn into a major regret should the city allow the proposed car wash adjacent to my bedroom and living room windows to proceed. I realize that by using their property as a storage and packing lot is an under utilization of their property, but locating a car wash so close to a residential building of senior adults is a bad choice and I am asking the city to deny their request. The sight of a car wash out my windows is not what concerns me, it is the noise that will come with it along with the smell of the car exhaust from idling automobiles. Should the car wash be approved I will probably attempt to sell my Condo but I doubt I would have many buyers willing to purchase a home with a noisy car wash outside their windows. Thanks for your consideration John LaDuke 2601 Kenzie Terrace 308 St. Anthony Mn. 55418 P.S.

I have been selling residential Real Estate in the Metro Area for 31 years, and have been selling units at the Kenzington since 1993. I have listed and sold and resold well over a hundred units at the Kenzington. I know from my professional experience that properties next to a light industrial-type business such as a car wash will sell for less than properties that aren’t. A car wash, to be successful would have a constant stream of customers, with the associated traffic, noise, radios, exhaust, loud drying fans etc. It is common sense that a car wash would certainly affect the quality of life, values of the properties and personal life of residents living next to a car wash. People have always bought at the Kenzington due to it being a 55 plus age building and ha ve relied on it being a quiet environment. In my professional opinion a car wash will definitely have a negative impact on the values of the Kenzington condos and any other single- family homes adjacent to it (FYI, there are several such homes directly across the alley from the parcel).

Dear City Manager: I am an owner who has lived at the Kenzington Condominiums for over 10 years. The thought of putting a car wash adjacent to my home is a not a good idea. There are more than enough places to get vehicles washed within a few miles. My main concerns are: more noise and air pollution, lighting nuisance, and increased traffic congestion on Kenzie Terrace and back alley way. Something in addition to consider is there are already enough semi tractor trailors, ocean container flat beds, and scrap metal haulers using Kenzie. County Road 88 makes more sense to divert this kind of traffic over and keep t he wear, tear and noise on an appropriate roadway for that use. It seems to me with the permit for the proposed car wash already being approved that few, if any, are listening to the taxpayers who will be most affected. I'm aware that developed property brings more tax revenue to the city. If a car wash is approved and after the novelty has worn off, this type of business could easily fail. What could that building be used for? Simply another car wash. Then back to square one. There are alternative things to put on that site that would serve the city, the neighborhood and the residents of St. Anthony much better. I strongly urge you and those involved to not approve a car wash for that parcel of land. If you disagree, than how would it be if one is constructed next to your home?

Decrease in value of condo 5. Ugly view for residents Richard and Marie Wiener, Residents of Kinzington condo Tank you Sent from my iPad Cary Zahrbock, on behalf of concerned neighbors, including single family home owners on 27th Ave NE as well as many residents of the Kenzington at 2601 Kenzie Terrace. 1. We have no animosity toward Tom Archambault personally, and do appreciate that he has been a “good neighbor” with his car business. However, a car wash is not consistent with St. Anthony code and is not an appropriate use of the land he owns. We would be very willing to engage with him around planning for an alternate business, and would have engaged if he had reached out prior to submitting his application to the planning commission. 2. The planning commission has not fulfilled their statutory responsibility relative to the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for this commercially zoned property adjacent to single family and multi-family homes. 3. The granting of a CUP is governed by the required findings set forth in SAV Code 152.243. 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;”. 4. Burden of Proof concerns: a. During the 12.15.20 Commission discussion, Commissioner Socha asked Interim City Planner Steve Grittman, what the definition of “detrimental” is, because she “had a hard time seeing how it would not be detrimental to some effect, to some point on neighboring property values”. “She was not so sure about health and safety, but general use of it, which does affect property value.” b. When asked whose burden it was to provide hard evidence, Mr. Grittman incorrectly stated that the burden “would be on the people making the claim of detrimental value.” In fact, as noted in the letter from Tim Keane, Attorney at Law (City Council packet pgs. 97-98) MN case law shows that 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 a CUP. 5. Concerned St. Anthony residents wrote letters and a petition signed by >70 residents of the Kenzington (City Council Packet) identifying numerous concerns not addressed by the planning commission. As noted, the law requires that the Applicant prove, based upon facts, that the use will conform to standards. There has been no such request from the planning commission to the Applicant. 6. In addition to community members identifying numerous concerns with the proposed car wash CUP, expert evidence was provided to the Planning commission for January 19th meeting (which they did not consider) by residents negatively impacted by potential CUP approval. a. Two independent real estate agents, Kathy Daniels (letter submitted to city manager on 1/22 to be included in addendum to packet and Ella Ritzman (considered as experts relative to property values) submitted letters (City Council packet pg. 92) noting significant negative impact on property values of residential properties. Consistent with Commissioner Socha’s opinion. b. Noise expert opinion by Steven Pletisha, Professional Engineer (City Council packet pgs. 93-95) stating that if vacuum and/or car wash dryer noise occurred for more than six minutes in one hour, the levels would exceed State noise pollution standards. The decibel levels used in his analysis were based on the information provided by Tom Archambault in response to a question from neighbors during the public hearing. Nowhere in the application, nor the city planner’s analysis of the request were specific decibel levels described nor analyzed. The planning commission approved the request without sufficient information to assess the potential risk to health, safety or general welfare. 7. The planning commission neglected to consider the impact of air pollution from idling cars and offered no mitigation from this detrimental impact. The car wash plan allows for two lanes of cars idling resulting in at least 16 idling cars waiting their turn in the car wash. The impact of emissions from these idling cars in a residential area was not assessed by the city planner or planning commission. Adding this necessary component of a car wash is not consistent with St. Anthony’s Sustainability plan that has committed to a reduction of cars idling through the “Young Lungs at Work” initiative. Minneapolis codes prevents cars from idling more than 3 minutes within an hour. State of MN policy prevents State employees from idling a state-owned vehicle for more than 3 minutes. You can expect that a continuous line of up to 16 cars will consistently exceed that standard. The detrimental health effect is not only to children living and playing in their homes, but also seniors in the Kenzington and all residents in the area. 8. The planning commission neglected to consider the impact of noise pollution from car radios while cars wait their turn in the car wash and offered no mitigation to this detrimental impact. 9. City staff neglected to evaluate the impact of stated light illumines for the project. While they did recommend downward facing lights at 20 feet, they provide no evidence that this will mitigate concerns. Currently, the Blvd is violating the light ordinance with the light directly beside 2800 27th Ave NE. City staff are aware that this has been discussed with Tom, but no action has resulted. 10. City staff neglected to evaluate water usage. While St. Anthony states the goal of being a Green City, there was no evaluation of whether the systems for this car wash is Green compliant. 11. In summary, the planning commission has not fulfilled their statutory responsibility relative to the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for this commercially zoned property adjacent to single family and multi-family homes. 12. The granting of a CUP is governed by the required findings set forth in SAV Code 152.243. 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;”. 13. We respectfully request that the St. Anthony City Council fulfill your statutory responsibility and deny the Conditional Use Permit for the Blvd Car Wash. We support Tom’s right to use his property and would be happy to engage in solution finding to support that right. The Car Wash CUP must be denied as it does not meet CUP requirements. 1 Charlie Yunker From:Paul McHugh <paulmchughmn@gmail.com> Sent:Tuesday, January 26, 2021 4:04 PM To:Charlie Yunker; Randy Stille; Jan Jenson; Bernard Walker; Wendy Webster; Tom Randle Subject:Car wash CUP: health impacts of idling vehicles in stacking lanes Caution: This email originated outside our organization; please use caution. (Please include this letter in public comment on the car wash CUP.) Mayor Stille and City Council members: As you know, the car wash CUP application envisions two "stacking" lanes with up to 16 idling cars waiting their turn. The health impact of the resulting tailpipe emissions in a residential area was not assessed by the city planner or planning commission. And it definitely should have been, because idling cars are a well-documented source of health-harming air pollutants. According to the EPA, "Idling vehicles contribute to air pollution and emit air toxins, which are pollutants known or suspected to cause cancer or other serious health effects." And the MN Pollution Control Agency says, "...exhaust from an idling engine contains more pollutants than that from moving cars." What's in car exhaust? A summary by the UCS of the major pollutants from motor vehicles includes: Particulate matter (PM), Volatile Organic Compounds or VOCs (including the toxic air pollutants benzene, acetaldehyde, and 1,3-butadiene), nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), and carbon dioxide. The MPCA says: "...the list of harmful ingredients in car exhaust runs to more than 100 compounds. Studies have linked pollution from vehicles to increased rates of cancer, heart and lung disease, asthma, and allergies." St. Anthony Village city code Section 152.243(C)(3) forbids the city to approve a CUP that would permit land use "detrimental to the health…of persons residing or working in the vicinity..." Let's look in more detail at expected detrimental health impacts of these idling vehicles. The proposed car wash would be located within 50-100 feet of up to 31 homes, including 3 families with children and 25 households at the age 55+ Kenzington. Children and elders are, in fact, the age groups whose health is the most vulnerable to air pollutants. How do we know this? 1. Seniors and air pollution: The health of older people is vulnerable to air pollution, including car exhaust. A study from London's Royal College of Physicians states, "Older people are more susceptible to air pollution than younger [adults] because of health problems such as myocardial infarction and stroke." And an EPA report, "Older Adults: An Environmentally Susceptible Population", says: "Exposure to air pollution particles is associated with increased morbidity and mortality attributable to cardiovascular and pulmonary causes in older adults. "Those with heart disease… are especially susceptible to the adverse effects of inhaled particulate matter." 2 Finally, it should also be noted that, on average, elders are less able than others to relocate in response to increased air (and noise) pollution, due to their often fixed incomes and reduced adaptability. 2. Children and vehicle exhaust: From the MPCA: "Exhaust from idling cars isn't good for anyone, but ...the impact is greatest on kids. Children breathe more rapidly and inhale more pollutants per pound of body weight than adults, and their lungs are still developing." The EPA adds, "Children’s lungs are still developing, and when they are exposed to elevated levels of [air toxins from idling vehicles], children have an increased risk of developing asthma, respiratory problems and other adverse health effects." It should be noted that St. Anthony Village’s Sustainability plan aims to reduce vehicle idling through its “Young Lungs at Work” initiative. The implications for locating a car wash with constantly idling cars near family residences should be obvious. In summary, by allowing a car wash into close proximity to families and elders, the city would clearly be doing harm to the health of some of its most vulnerable citizens.

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. 121 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. 122 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 shall be limited to between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. Passed in regular session of the City Council on the 26 day of January, 2021. ____________________________________ Randy Stille, Mayor ATTEST:____________________________ Nicole Miller, City Clerk Review for Administration: ____________________________________ Charlie Yunker, City Manager 123 THIS PAGE LEFT INTENTIONALLY BLANK 124 SNOW PLOW EVENT PRESENTATION TO COUNCIL Forecast 7 day forecast is checked daily 2 day forecast closer monitoring 24 hour monitoring, updates Communicate with other local municipalities leading up to the event with input on how to handle the event-main roads, full city, salting, etc. via group emails Radar, newscasts Public Notification Public can elect to sign up for email and/or text notification of the city’s anticipated plowing start time-allows for open communication and includes a reminder regarding the parking ordinance Plowing notification is also posted on the city website Pre-Wet with Salt Brine F-250 flatbed with 300 gallon tank and spray bar 24 hours before event arrival 23% saltwater brine solution measured with a salinity hydrometer Mix 200 pounds of salt per 300 gallons of water 100-200 gallons per event Plowing Main Roads Start 30 minutes before the snow stops or at 5 am Routes are run with the 4 single axle plow trucks in teams of 2 Routes are divided into 2 zones; 33rd Ave NE divides the north and south routes Parking lots at City Hall, Police Dept, Fire Dept, SAV High School, and Wilshire Park Elementary Completion takes 2 hours 125 Plowing Residential Streets, Sidewalks, and Ice Rinks Following completion of main roads 4 single axle plow trucks-routes are divided into four quadrants of the City 2 sidewalk machines-routes are divided into 2 zones; 33rd Ave NE divides the north and south routes Cul-de-sacs, alleys, and short roads are cleared with 2-ton and 1-ton pickup trucks Completion generally takes 2-3 hours Questions 126 St. Anthony Village Snow and Ice Control Forecast •7 Day •2 Day •24 Hours •Communicate with other local municipalities •Radar •Local newscasts 127 Public Notification •The public can sign up for email and/or text notification of when city plows will be clearing roads •Plowing notifications will be posted on the website and social media Pre-wet with Salt Brine •F-250 flatbed pickup truck with 300 gallon tank and spray bar •24 hours before event •23% saltwater brine solution •Mix 200 pounds of salt per 300 gallons of water •100-200 gallons per event 128 Plowing Main Roads •Begin plowing 30 minutes prior to end of event •Routes are run with four single axle plow trucks in teams of two •Currently two of the plow trucks are equipped with salt tracking technology •Routes are divided into two primary zones; 33rd Ave NE divides the north and south routes •Parking lots at City Hall, Police Department, Fire Department, and SAV High School & Wilshire Park Elementary •Completion generally takes 2 hours Plowing Residential Streets and Sidewalks •Follows completion of main roads •Four single axle plow trucks-routes are divided into four quadrants of the City •Cul-de-sacs, alleys, and short roads are cleared with 2-ton and 1-ton pickup trucks •Two sidewalk machines-routes are divided into 2 zones •Completion generally takes 2-3 hours 129 Questions 130 REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION Meeting Date: January 26, 2021 Resolution- Approving the Hiring of Charlie Yunker as the City Manager for the City of St. Anthony OVERVIEW: The City of St. Anthony has completed the search of a new City Manager.
