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. 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 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. On January 26, the Council considered the item, with the clarified Planning Commission action. Due to a variety of comments, the Council was concerned that additional verification of issues raised was necessary to make a final determination. The Council directed staff to engage the necessary resources to examine potential impacts of the use on air quality, stormwater management, noise, and additionally, potential impact on neighboring property values. 30 Staff has undertaken those engagements, copies of which are included as attachments to this report. The experts were asked to examine the potential impacts of a car wash operating as proposed by the Planning Commission’s recommendation (including the conditions recommended) and consider adjustments that may be necessary to comply with legal requirements. The City Engineer’s firm provided analysis of the stormwater impacts, as well as the air quality impacts. The City Engineer’s firm engaged a noise impact expert who provided a report in that regard. An independent certified Real Estate Appraiser was engaged to provide an opinion on real estate value impacts. The City Engineer has provided a more detailed report on the environmental factors. In sum, the research in those four areas includes the following: • With regard to air quality, the engineering staff found that the emissions from the facility, based on the operation of the facility and waiting vehicles, would be less than 4 percent of the threshold at which the state Pollution Control Agency would require additional study or mitigation. • With regard to stormwater, the existing stormwater system, in concert with the required on-site stormwater management requirements of the project, is capable of handling the volume and rate of stormwater from the site, and the specific requirements of the facility will be designed to address those issues, as well as stormwater quality. • With regard to noise, the consultant indicated that without further mitigation, the facility had the potential to exceed required noise thresholds. Additional mitigation recommended by the consultant was both structural and operational. o Operational: The consultant recommends that entry doors close prior to the start of the wash operation, and exit doors remain closed until after the end of dryer operations. o Structural: Rather than the proposed condition recommended by staff, the consultant recommends the enclosure of the vacuum machinery within a structure, with only hoses extending out of the structure to the vehicles. With these requirements and the prior conditions, the proposed car wash should operate within allowable noise levels. • With regard to property values, the appraiser issued an opinion letter, noting that given the long period of time that the property has been zoned for commercial uses, the impacts of a commercial activity on neighboring property is built in to the existing value, and that development of the “commercial car wash use on the subject property does not appear to impact value to these properties.” Following is the prior staff report information on this application, with amended conditions of approval representing the recommendations of the noise consultant (item 7 replaced, and item 8 new). 31 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. 32 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 33 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. Add a permanent, noise-insulated structure to house the vacuum machinery from which only vacuum hoses may extend to buffer noise, to mitigate noise impacts on the adjoining multi- family building. The structure must be consistent with the materials of the principal building as required by City Code. 8. Operate the facility in a manner that requires entry doors to close prior to wash machinery engaging the vehicle, and exit doors to remain closed until dryer machinery has completed its cycle. 9. 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. 10. Specify hooded, downcast wall lighting on the building to avoid any light-source glare. 11. Compliance with the requirements of the City Engineer with regard to engineering and construction, including utilities, stormwater, and street improvements. 12. Hours of operation shall be limited to between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m., or other hours of operation as may be required by this or future City Council resolution. These recommendations are illustrated, in part, as follows: 34 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. 35 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, noise-insulated structure to house the vacuum machinery from which only vacuum hoses may extend to buffer noise, to mitigate noise impacts on the adjoining multi- family building. The structure must be consistent with the materials of the principal building as required by City Code. 8. Operate the facility in a manner that requires entry doors to close prior to wash machinery engaging the vehicle, and exit doors to remain closed until dryer machinery has completed its cycle. 9. 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. 10. Specify hooded, downcast wall lighting on the building to avoid any light-source glare. 11. Compliance with the requirements of the City Engineer with regard to engineering and construction, including utilities, stormwater, and street improvements. 12. Hours of operation shall be limited to between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m., or other hours of operation as may be required by this or future City Council resolution.

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 39 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: 40 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. 41 3.

The following is summary of the review and findings found in each of the memos. Water Resource As with any proposed development in the City; rate control, flood control, volume control, and water quality standards will need to conform to the rules and regulations set forth by the City’s Water Resource Plan (WRMP), the Mississippi Watershed Management Organization (MWMO), and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). Rate Control: The preliminary grading plan prepared by Alliant Engineering dated 11/20/20 indicates a proposed filtration rain garden to be constructed at the NE corner of the site. The filtration rain garden appears to provide a location for the necessary rate control however the applicant will be required to submit storm sewer design calculations for review prior to final approval. Flood Control: The proposed building elevation meets the freeboard requirements set by the WRMP. Volume Control: The project site is 0.81 acres and so the total disturbed area is not anticipated to exceed 1 acre, therefore, no permanent stormwater management is required per MWMO’s rules and therefore no volume control or alternative sequencing is required. Water Quality: The above-mentioned filtration rain garden appears to provide a location for the necessary pretreatment of runoff leaving the site however the applicant will be required to submit water quality design calculations for review prior to final approval. Noise A noise impact analysis was conducted by David Braslau Associates, Inc to review the potential sound levels associated with the proposed project and its impact on adjacent residential property. Sound monitoring was performed at an existing carwash of similar design to capture representative sound levels. 59 Mr. Charlie Yunker March 1, 2021 Page 2 Following the analysis, sound levels were found to exceed the Minnesota state daytime noise standard for the adjacent Kenzington residences and several homes along 27th Avenue NE. The carwash sound levels were also compared with the existing background sound at the proposed site and found to have a potential significant impact over existing conditions. Mitigation to meet state noise standards is recommended. For example, keeping the entry and exit doors closed when power washing and final drying of vehicles would bring carwash sound levels below the state daytime noise standard. Additionally, mitigation of vacuum noise would be necessary to bring sound levels below the state daytime noise standard. Air Quality A qualitative analysis of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission potential from the proposed project was performed in adherence with the MPCA guidelines. Following the analysis, GHG emissions were found to not be of significant impact. Because this project falls well below the threshold, the environmental impact to air quality is expected to be insignificant however, GHG emissions could be lowered by recommending or requiring vehicles to turn off their engines while waiting to enter the carwash, while inside the carwash and while using the vacuums. 60 K:\017658-000\Admin\Docs\Memo - JMessner - Water Resource Analysis - DRAFT.docx540 GATEWAY BLVD | BURNSVILLE, MN | 55337 | 952.737.4660 | WSBENG.COMMemorandum To: Justin Messner, WSB From: Joey Abramson, WSB Date: March 1, 2021 Re: Boulevard Auto Car Wash – Water Resource Requirements WSB Project No. 17658-000 On behalf of the City of Saint Anthony Village, WSB conducted an analysis of water resource requirements for the proposed Boulevard Auto Car Wash. Below summarizes each of the applicable requirements. Rate Control Per the City’s Water Resources Management Plan (WRMP) Section 5.3.3.1, redevelopment projects shall provide stormwater controls such that the critical Atlas 14 1-year, 2-year, 10-year and 100-year storm events existing condition peak discharge rates are not increased following site development. Flood Control Per WRMP Section 5.3.2.3, any new or redevelopment within the City will maintain two feet of freeboard over the Atlas 14 100-year high water elevation or one foot of freeboard over the emergency overflow elevation, and the lowest building floor elevation. Volume Control The project is located within the Mississippi Watershed Management Organization (MWMO) and the City of St Anthony Village. The MWMO’s standards language in their Watershed Management Plan requires that any development that disturbs more than 1 acre of land to meet permanent stormwater management requirements. The project site is 0.81 acres and so the total disturbed area is not anticipated to exceed 1 acre. Therefore, no permanent stormwater management is required per MWMO’s rules and therefore no volume control or alternative sequencing is required. Water Quality WRMP Section 5.2.2.2 requires that NURP-level pretreatment is provided for all runoff leaving the site as feasible. Providing 60% TP removal and 90& TSS removal will satisfy this requirement. Storm Sewer Design WRMP Section 5.3.2.2 requires that new storm sewer systems shall be designed to accommodate a critical duration Atlas 14 10-year storm event, provided that the downstream system has adequate capacity or storage available to accommodate this design. 61 Justin Messner March 1, 2021 Page 2 K:\017658-000\Admin\Docs\Memo - JMessner - Water Resource Analysis - DRAFT.docx It should be noted that there is an existing capacity issue in the downstream storm sewer system in Kenzie Terrace, though the primary mitigation to reduce the possibility of worsening any capacity issues will be that the applicant will provide on-site rate control per City requirements.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The proposed Boulevard Autoworks carwash facility in St. Anthony, Minnesota, will be located on Kenzie Terrace just east of the Kenzington Condominiums. The carwash building will be oriented east west with the entrance on the west closest to Kenzington and the exit on the east facing the roadway and commercial land uses. This report addresses potential sound levels associated with the carwash and how these could impact adjacent residential land uses. Sound levels are compared with Minnesota state noise standards and found to exceed the daytime L50 noise standard for the adjacent Kenzington residences and several homes along NE 27th Avenue. Background and traffic sound levels were monitored on a Friday afternoon and found to comply with state noise standards. Carwash sound levels were also compared with the background and found to have a potential significant impact. Mitigation to meet state noise standards is recommended to keep the entry and exit doors closed when power washing and final drying of vehicles. This will bring carwash levels below the state L50 daytime noise standard. However, this would not address noise from vacuum units which are outside of the building Mitigation of vacuum noise by shielding the area was recommended by the city of St. Anthony but would likely not shield all Kenzington units from sound. An alternate method to mitigate vacuum noise would enclose only the motors and leave hoses outside of the enclosure. 64 WSB Engineering Carwash Noise Impact Assessment David Braslau Associates, Inc.

Page 1 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1. Study Description This Carwash Noise Impact Assessment presents results of sound level projections at residential receptors adjacent to the proposed Boulevard Autoworks car wash facility in the City of St. Anthony. The projected sound levels are compared with state noise standards for residential land uses and general recommendations presented to bring levels down below the standards. The site is located at 2701 Kenzie Terrace, immediately east of the Kenzington Condominiums. 1.2. Study Objectives The objective of the study is to determine compliance of sound levels with the Minnesota Noise Standards. These standards are presented Table 1.1. The Kenzington Condominiums are adjacent to the site on the west. Walker Methodist housing is located south of the site and single- family homes facing NE 27th Avenue are located north of the site. These all fall under the NAC-1 classification that includes residential land uses. The standards are presented in Table 1.1. Table 1-1 Minnesota Noise Standards (Mn. Rules 7070.0040) Noise Area Classification Daytime Nighttime Noise Metric L50 L10 L50 L10 NAC-1 (residential and sensitive areas) 60 65 50 55 The L50 refers to levels that occur more than 50% of an hour while the L10 refers to levels that occur more than 10% of an hour. The daytime period includes hours between 7:00 am and 10:00 pm. The nighttime period includes hours between 10:00 pm and 7:00 am. 67 WSB Engineering Carwash Noise Impact Assessment David Braslau Associates, Inc. Page 2 2.0 PROPOSED CARWASH AND LOCATION The layout of the proposed carwash is shown on Figure 2.1. While some recommendations for improvements to mitigate visual and sound impacts have been made by the City of St. Anthony, no final plans for the project have been prepared. Since the noise analysis requires specific information, this noise assessment is based upon the plan shown in Figure 2.1. Recommended changes by the City are discussed in Section 6.0 of this report. The planned building layout shows the entry and initial washing at the west end of the building closest to the Kenzington Condominiums and final drying and exit at the east end of the building, directed away from the Condominiums. Vacuum stations are located along the south side of the building. An aerial photograph of the area is shown on Figure 2.2 with the carwash plan superimposed. This shows that, in additional to the Kenzington Condominiums, there are single family homes north of the site and Walker Methodist housing to the south. The single-family homes face NE 27th Avenue and are further from the Condominiums, but noise receptors are located on the south side of the homes. Noise receptor sites are also assumed for the Walker residence for completeness. A background sound level monitor was located on the northeast corner of the Kenzington Condominiums to provide some information on existing sound levels associated with traffic along Kenzie Terrace. 68 WSB Engineering Carwash Noise Impact Assessment David Braslau Associates, Inc.

The monitored one-minute statistical sound levels are shown on Figure 3.1. The top curve labeled L(1) represents sound levels exceeded for 0.6 seconds of the minute or essentially peak sound level of passing vehicles. The bottom curve labeled L(90) is the level exceeded for 54 of the 60 seconds, and closely represents the minimum level occurring during each minute. The L(10) level hovers around 60 dBA. The state daytime noise standard is 65 dBA. The L(50) level is well below the 60 dBA standard. A more detailed short-term measurement of octave band sound levels was also taken during the monitoring period. This shows some higher frequency levels as low as 30 dB, so there are periodically some noticeably quiet times at this location without traffic present. 71 WSB Engineering Carwash Noise Impact Assessment David Braslau Associates, Inc.

Page 8 4.0 SOUND LEVEL MODELING 4.1. Carwash Sound Sources It was anticipated that a similar carwash establishment to the one proposed in St. Anthony could be used as a basis for sound level modeling, but permission to take these readings was not granted. Therefore, sound level monitoring of another carwash (Eddiez Southdale Car Wash, 2816 W. 66th St., Minneapolis (Edina), MN 55423) with typical design was performed to capture representative levels. Source octave band spectra adjusted to 50 feet for the three primary noise sources associated with the carwash are presented in Figure 4.1. The washing and dryer levels were measured at different distances and the vacuum level was measured at 10 feet. Source elevation for the dryer exit was 8 feet and 6 feet for the washing entrance and vacuums. Precise elevations are not critical compared with distances from sources to receivers. 4.2. Model Geometry Assumed geometry for computer noise predictions is shown in Figure 4.2. One receptor is located on each balcony of Kenzington Condominiums for all five floors, to show how sound might be distributed across the building façade. Four first floor receptors are assumed for the Walker Methodist residence and one receptor 25 feet from each of the closest homes. The carwash building walls are also assumed to provide barriers to sound levels. 74 WSB Engineering Carwash Noise Impact Assessment David Braslau Associates, Inc.

The values in bold, associated with either the entry on the west where preliminary washing takes place, or on the east where drying takes place are the primary contributors to the overall levels. The dominant source adjacent to the Kenzington Condominiums is the west entry, which is assumed to be open for this analysis. The receptor middle homes and the Walker residence are further from these sources and partially shielded by the carwash building. Figure 5.1 shows the sound level spectra of contributing sources to the closest Kenzington receptor A1. Only three distributed vacuum sources are included for this demonstration. Note that the west entry wash spectrum dominates the spectra. The higher 125 Hz level from the dryer was probably related to some mechanical fan noise and less shielded (in the model) by the building. Otherwise, the vacuum levels are generally higher than the dryer at this receptor. 77 WSB Engineering Carwash Noise Impact Assessment David Braslau Associates, Inc.

Page 13 6.0 PREDICTED LEVELS RELATIVE TO BACKGROUND While carwash sound levels are over the Minnesota noise standards, it can be shown in Section 7 that closing the carwash entry door before washing can lead to compliance. This section compares carwash levels with the observed background spectrum. Figure 6.1 compares the estimated carwash spectrum at receptor E5, which on the 5th floor and closest to Kenzie Terrace, with measured background spectra. When there is no traffic on Kenzie Terrace (L90), the carwash sound level could be as much as 20 dB above the background at some frequencies. With traffic, the carwash level is still estimated to be higher, thus reducing the perceived sound level impact. Figure 6.2 compares the estimated carwash spectrum at receptor A1, closest to the carwash entry. Receptor A1 is further from the roadway than the background monitor and is more shielded by half of the traffic noise by the Kenzington building itself. With a lower background sound level, the impact of carwash noise relative to background would be much more severe. 79 WSB Engineering Carwash Noise Impact Assessment David Braslau Associates, Inc.

Page 16 7.0 NOISE MITGATION OPTIONS 7.1. Minnesota Noise Standards As noted in Figure 5.1, the daytime L50 level of 60 dBA is predicted to be exceeded at residential receptor sites closest to the carwash entry and exit. The simplest and most effective way to bring these levels down to or below the 60 dBA standard is to close the entry and exit doors when initial power washing and final drying takes place. Even a clear vinyl with a surface weight of 1 lb/sq can provide significant sound reduction. Figure 7.1 shows the reduction in the sound level spectrum that could be achieved with a closed door of even this material. The A-weighted decibel could be dropped at receptor A1 from 63 dBA down to 36 dBA. Also, the level at Homes 3 through 6 could be reduced from 63 dBA associated with the dryer exit down to 36 dBA as well. Therefore, to ensure the daytime noise standard is achieved, it is recommended that the entry and exit doors be closed during initial washing and final drying of vehicles. 7.2. Background Noise Impact Figure 7.1 also compares the door open and door closed spectra with the background level estimated at A1. However, closing the doors will have no impact on the exterior vacuum units. Figure 7.2 shows the sound level spectra for three individual vacuum units, the combined level with three vacuum units operating at the same time, and the combined level with six vacuum units operating at the same time and compares this with the quieter background sound level at receptor A1. Similar comparisons, perhaps not as severe, could occur at all of the Kenzington receptor sites. In Figure 7.3, the City has recommended shielding the vacuum units with some type of a partial enclosure open only to the south to allow for vehicle parking while vacuuming. This is shown schematically in Figure 7.4. This recommendation is problematical for a number of reasons, some of which are the noise paths to Kenzington that could still occur with the partial barrier. In addition, to be effective, the barrier would have to be sound absorptive on interior surfaces to keep levels down to acceptable levels for users and Kenzington receptors. A more preferred option to this partial barrier is to put the vacuum motors in an acoustical enclosure with only the hoses coming out of the enclosure. This alternative was mentioned in a document on the website carwash.com. Some air suction noise at the cars will still be audible at Kenzington but the higher frequency sound will decay faster in the atmosphere. A canopy could be helpful to shield this noise but might still expose the Kenzington units closest to Kenzie Terrace to some noise. Another way to minimize vacuum sound level impact on Kenzington would be to provide barriers with sound absorptive surfaces between each vacuum position. How to shield residents from vacuum noise will require some further analysis. 82 WSB Engineering Carwash Noise Impact Assessment David Braslau Associates, Inc.

Page 22 8.0 FINDING AND CONCLUSIONS An analysis of noise associated with the proposed Boulevard Autoworks carwash facility in St. Anthony finds that, without any mitigation of sound levels, the Minnesota daytime L50 standards could be exceeded at the adjacent Kenzington Condominiums east of the site and several homes along NE 27th Street north of the site. Background and traffic noise was monitored on a Friday afternoon, demonstrating compliance with state noise standards. Projected sound levels from the carwash could exceed background levels by significant amount without mitigation. To comply with state noise standards, recommendations are made to keep entry and exit doors closed during power washing and drying operation. A fairly light-weight door material would be sufficient to bring levels below the daytime 60 dBA L50 standard. To minimize sound level impact from vacuum equipment outside of the building, alternative methods have been reviewed. The City of St. Anthony recommendation for a “shed” over the vacuum area does not appear to be adequate for shielding all Kenzington units. An alternative might be enclosing the vacuum motors with only hoses exposed to the outside. This issue will require some additional study. y:\jobs\2021jobs\221006\report\blvd-autoworks-noise-assessment-final.docxocx 88 K:\017658-000\Admin\Docs\Memo - JMessner - GHG Analysis - DRAFT.docx540 GATEWAY BLVD | BURNSVILLE, MN | 55337 | 952.737.4660 | WSBENG.COMMemorandum To: Justin Messner, WSB From: Alison Harwood, WSB Date: March 1, 2021 Re: Boulevard Auto Car Wash – Greenhouse Gas Analysis WSB Project No. 17658-000 On behalf of the City of Saint Anthony Village, WSB conducted a qualitative analysis of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission potential from the proposed Boulevard Auto Car Wash. The proposed project is located in Hennepin County (Major Watershed 20), an area that has seen a general increase in both average temperature (0.23° F/decade) and rainfall (0.30”/decade) over the past century. The proposed project would result in approximately 3,760 square feet of impervious surface. No trees are present on the site, so tree removal will not occur, but the project will convert the existing turfgrass vegetation to impervious surface. City storm and sanitary sewer systems will provide stormwater and wastewater management, respectively, for the project. Construction of the project is anticipated to begin in Summer 2021. Upon construction, the car wash will operate between 8:30 am – 5:00 pm. In terms of GHGs, the types of emissions likely to be of concern include those produced by mobile source fossil fuels (i.e., gasoline). The sum of GHG emissions for gasoline is reported in carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2-e). Based on data gathered from the US Department of Energy, the typical passenger vehicle burns between 0.16 and 0.84 gallons of gasoline/hour. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that 1 gallon of gas creates 19.6 pounds of CO2-e. During operation, we assume 450 vehicles/day on average will utilize the car wash. Based on that, the potential fuel consumption output would be approximately 72 – 378 gal/day. This equates to approximately 0.7 – 3.7 tons of CO2-e/day (256 – 1351 tons CO2-e/year). This assumes that the car wash is operating every day of the year, which is unlikely. If a proposed project is expected to produce less than 100,000 tons CO2-e/year of GHGs, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency views the GHG emissions as not significant. Because this project falls well below that threshold, the environmental impact to air quality is expected to be insignificant. To reduce GHG emissions, the following recommendations are provided: Require vehicles using the vacuums turn off their engines Require vehicles inside the car wash turn off their engines Post signage recommending vehicles waiting to enter the wash turn off their engines If you have any questions related to this analysis, please contact me at aharwood@wsbeng.com or 763-231-4847. 89 Report Type Real Estate Consulting Letter Report (Restricted Appraisal) Effective Date February 20, 2021 Prepared By: Ethan Waytas, MAI, Appraiser William R.

The proposed car wash is located at the following address: 2701 Kenzie Terrace Saint Anthony, MN 55418 Currently, the property is a vacant lot with an area of 35,219 SF (0.81 acres). There appears to be a small parking lot on the site. The county shows the site outlined in blue: 92 Letter Report – Continued The surrounding uses are: North: Single family residential South: Commercial gas station East: Multi-tenant commercial and retail West: Age 55+ residential condominiums Zoning Map: The city indicates the subject’s zoning is C, Commercial. The black arrow on the map indicates the subject location. The permitted zoning uses are a variety of retail and office. There are also multiple conditional uses, one of which is a car wash. The zoning requirements indicated by the code for the commercial district is: Height: 35’ Lot area: 15,000 SF Lot width: 100’ Floor area ratio: May not exceed 1.0 Side yards: 10’ from interior, 35’ from a street Rear yards: 20’ or 25’ if there is an alley 93 Letter Report – Continued Per documents provided by the city, there is a proposed car wash on the site. It appears, based on the documents, the car wash design and use would meet the city’s requirements. Typically, when a use, either permitted or conditional, meets a city’s requirements the use must be approved. The city required multiple accommodations to limit disruption for adjoining properties, including additional screening and reduced business hours. Impacts on Nearby Properties: The subject appears to have been zoned for a commercial use for many years. While the site has been vacant, the existing zoning and future guided use (commercial) are publicly available. The definition of market value, per the Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, Sixth Edition, Appraisal Institute, is: “The most probable price which a property should bring in a competitive and open market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, the buyer and seller each acting prudently, knowledgeably, and assuming the price is not affected by undue stimulus. Implicit in this definition is the consummation of a sale as of a specified date and the passing of title from seller to buyer under conditions whereby: (A) buyer and seller are typically motivated; (B) both parties are well informed or well advised, and acting in what they consider their own best interest; (C) a reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market; (D) payment is made in terms of cash in U.S. dollars or in terms of financial arrangements comparable thereto; and (E) the price represents the normal consideration for the property sold unaffected by special or creative financing or sales concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale.” The key point is part B, which in effect means that both buyers and sellers are informed and/or advised when purchasing a property. This includes consideration of surrounding properties and what those properties could be used for. This results in buyers and sellers being aware of what is allowed on and around a property being purchased; if there are potential negative detriments the price is adjusted accordingly. 94 CONCLUSION The surrounding uses are: North: Single family residential South: Commercial gas station East: Multi-tenant commercial and retail West: Age 55+ residential condominiums For uses to the south and east, commercial and retail, a commercial car wash use on the subject site would not impact value. For the residential homes to the north, there is significant screening and an alley separating the properties from the car wash use. In addition, many of the properties were purchased when the subject was zoned commercial; the buyers would have been aware or had available i nformation to understand that the subject site could be developed with commercial uses. A commercial car wash use on the subject site does not appear to impact value to these properties. For the residential condominiums to the west, specifically overlooki ng the subject site, the buyers would have been aware or had available information to understand that the subject site could be developed with commercial uses. A commercial car was use on the subject site does not appear to impact value to these properties. Overall, because the subject site has been zoned commercial with a variety of uses for many years, buyers would have been aware and priced in any discount when purchasing their property. To illustrate a situation where there could be a negative impact, consider a site zoned and guided residential. Adjoining property owners purchased their sites with the understanding that the property was zoned residential. If the city at a later point changes to the zoning to commercial or industrial, then the property owners could possibly consider a negative impact to their property as the adjoining zoning changed. In the current car wash situation, the underlying zoning and uses are not changing; therefore, there is no impact to adjoining properties.

The property is located in an area of commercial land use on a major collector roadway. 2. The proposed use is identified as an allowed Conditional Use in the Commercial zoning district in which it is located. 3. The additional impacts of the proposed use are in need of mitigation as a requirement to meet the standards of the zoning ordinance, including compatibility with other uses in the neighborhood. 4. With the modification to the site plan, building design, landscaping, and other improvements identified as conditions recommended by the Planning Commission, the proposed improvements constitute a reasonable use of the property. 5. Without those recommended conditions, the use would be incompatible with the area and intent of the zoning ordinance regulating such uses. 6. The proposed use, constructed and operated within the requirements of the Code and the conditions of this resolution, will not impact public areas beyond the expected impacts of permitted, compliant uses in the commercial zoning district. 7. The proposed use, constructed and operated within the requirements of the Code and the conditions of this resolution, with not negatively impact health, safety, or welfare of the community. 8. 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. 104 7. Add a permanent, noise-insulated structure to house the vacuum machinery from which only vacuum hoses may extend to buffer noise, to mitigate noise impacts on the adjoining multi-family building. The structure must be consistent with the materials of the principal building as required by City Code. 8. Operate the facility in a manner that requires entry doors to close prior to wash machinery engaging the vehicle, and exit doors to remain closed until dryer machinery has completed its cycle. 9. 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. 10. Specify hooded, downcast wall lighting on the building to avoid any light-source glare. 11. Compliance with the requirements of the City Engineer with regard to engineering and construction, including utilities, stormwater, and street improvements. 12. Hours of operation shall be limited to between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m., or other hours of operation as may be required by this or future City Council resolution. Passed in regular session of the City Council on the 9th day of March, 2021. ____________________________________ Randy Stille, Mayor ATTEST:____________________________ Nicole Miller, City Clerk Review for Administration: ____________________________________ Charlie Yunker, City Manager 105 1 Charlie Yunker From:Maxine Baker <maxbaker71@hotmail.com> Sent:Friday, January 22, 2021 12:59 AM To:Charlie Yunker Subject:Car Wash on Kenzie Terrace Caution: This email originated outside our organization; please use caution. Dear St Anthony Village City Council please, please do not vote for the car wash. It is just not necessary, in my opinion. There are two car washes that I know of within about a mile. I worry that it will be very, very disturbing to the residents of The Kenzington . If it is open at night the lights would certainly be disturbing to the residents on at least first and second floors. I just don’t think it is a good fit so close to our home.

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 112 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 fo r 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 120 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 121 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. 122 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." 123 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.

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 128 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. Sincerely, Katherine King Unit #413 We are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided.

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 fo r 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. If the city decides to approve this car wash, I am requesting that the developer be required to replace the sliders and windows in the 30 Condominiums that will adjoin this car wash in an effort to mitigate some of the noise and exhaust. 131 1 Charlie Yunker From:Paul McHugh <paulmchughmn@gmail.com> Sent:Friday, January 22, 2021 4:21 PM To:Charlie Yunker Cc:Randy Stille; Tom Randle; Wendy Webster; Jan Jenson; Bernard Walker Subject:Fwd: Professional opinion on effect of proposed Kenzie Terrace car wash on value of nearby properties Attachments:Kenzie 2.pdf Caution: This email originated outside our organization; please use caution.

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). Sincerely Kathy Daniels 133 Coldwell Banker Realty 612-701-0248 134 1 Charlie Yunker From:J Waite <jdwaite18@yahoo.com> Sent:Monday, January 25, 2021 12:13 PM To:Charlie Yunker Subject:Proposed car wash at 2701 Kenzie Terrace Caution: This email originated outside our organization; please use caution. 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?

Charlie Yunker I am against the car wash. 1. Commercial noise and appearance. 2. Destroys the theme of the area peacefulness on both sides of the street 3. Junkyard appearance 4. Decrease in value of condo 5. Ugly view for residents Richard and Marie Wiener, Residents of Kinzington condo Tank you Sent from my iPad 136 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 137 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. 138 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." 139 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.

Dear Mayor, City Council Members, Charlie Yunker, and Steve Grittman, Two vulnerable populations are living in the immediate vicinity of the proposed car wash: seniors at the Kenzington, and growing children in single family homes. Seniors: Many seniors are already living with chronic illnesses: heart disease, lung disease, cancer, diabetes. Growing children: There is increasing awareness of the negative health impacts of idling cars on school children. St Anthony has a "Young Lungs At Work" initiative in response. Our previous emails submitted to SAV city officials, and general public knowledge, point to the reality that exhaust fumes from idling cars damage our health. A car wash right next to our homes would expose our vulnerable seniors, growing children, and other residents to more than 100 harmful compounds in idling car exhaust (see article excerpted below). This would occur all day, every day. Mayor and City Council, I'm simply asking you to follow the pertinent city code and deny the CUP. Protect our neighborhood from harm! Be contributors to our health!

Vehicles are a major contributor to poor air quality in urban areas; 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.

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). 154 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. 155 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 156 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. Respectfully Submitted, Thomas Deegan Susan Guthrie 2616 Pahl Ave. St. Anthony, MN 55418 157 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 159 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 160 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: 162 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 163 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 164 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 #307 166 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 167 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 168 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.

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). 172 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 173 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.

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 179 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?

With an all African American unit, and risked his life for this country. When he returned from the war, he had to sit in the back of the bus and drink from separate water fountains. When the Confederate Flag was flown in the Nation Capital and how it has become a staple of the Ku Klux Klan rallies and how it has been it is waved to intimidate Black children who were integrating schools after Brown vs. the Board of Education. There should be no place for it in public places. The Confederate Flag represents the states that disfranchise Black Citizens. It is a flag that will be associated with the January 6 insurrection. The Rebel Flag had never been flown to my knowledge inside the halls of Congress. In the picture that shows the Confederate flag in the halls of Congress, there is a picture in the background of Summer, a representative from Mississippi who was beaten by Preston Brooks in May of 1856 on the floor of Congress for speaking out about slavery. So an Ordance should be introduced banning the Confederate flag from being displayed in public places. Thanks, Dan Spriggs 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. 184 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. 185 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. 187 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 191 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 192 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.

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 200 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?

I live at 2708 27th Ave NE. I am writing today in regards to the proposed car wash on Kenzie Terrace. I know there has been many others writing in opposition to the proposal on many fronts, today I am writing about what I have learned talking to several neighbors of Tommy’s Express Wash in New Hope, the car wash that I understand to be of the same design and built by the same builder as the proposed car wash in St. Anthony Village. Many of my neighbors on 27th, in the Kenzington Condominiums, and the nearby surrounding area have been raising their concerns about the potential for noise, traffic, and pollution from the proposed project. Those concerns have been called unfounded and “a fear of the unknown” by the business owner. I decided to travel to New Hope to the same car wash the city engineer is using as a model for the measurements of sound and pollution asked for by the council and mayor. I trust the city engineer and the team of engineers tasked with studying the New Hope car wash will take accurate measurements of the machinery and mechanics of the car wash, but I felt what was missing was the real world application of those machines by the people using them, the customers. I visited the New Hope car wash on Saturday February 27, around noon. I parked my car across the street from the duplex on Maryland, kitty corner from the car wash. As soon as I pulled in to the parking lot I could already hear the radio of one of the customers using the vacuums, my car was running with the windows up, I was approximately 75-100 feet away. When I stepped out of my car the music sounded like it was coming from next to me it was so loud. The customers were also speaking to one another as they used the vacuums, but to do so they obviously had to speak at a louder volume than the vacuums, again they were easily heard from where I had parked. I walked across the street to knock on the door of duplex home nearest that sits just to the south behind a 8 ft wooden fence at 5543 Maryland Ave N. from the time I walked to the door from my car I heard a loud recorded message playing every time a car entered the washing area giving them directions to remove their foot from the brake, this message played about every 90 seconds and was easily heard from the street. I knocked on the door but no one was home, I left a not with my phone number. I arrived home and received a call about an hour after leaving the note from resident of 5543 Martland, Doug Nygaard. Mr. Nygaard was very happy to talk about the problems he has had with the car wash since the day it opened, primarily the noise coming from the customers using the vacuums. He has said he regularly has had to contact the car wash about the noise he can hear inside and outside his home. He also told me about the trash that has blown from the vacuum area into the streets in front of their homes. Mr. Nygaard was also aware of others that have been complaining, including the Dentist office across the street to the East. I contacted the Dentist office on MOnday, they also said they have had to 211 contact the car wash regularly about noise coming from the vacuum area. They have even had to contact the city when the car wash management did not take action, this was confirmed by the New Hope Development Department. The Development Department also told me that the increase in traffic on Bass Lake Road going into the car wash, on busy days, exceeds what the city allows on that stretch of road. The 2017 New Hope council records and the records of the New Hope Planning committee meetings during their car wash proposals initial hearings are easily familiar to those currently happening in our city. During those meetings the builders assured everyone that noise would not be an issue, but they were only measuring the sounds of their machines, not how they will be used. Those assurances from the builder are what the New Hope council used as reason to pass the proposal. Let us not be fooled by the same rhetoric, we now know the true impact this car wash will bring. Lets learn from what New Hope is going through and not repeat it here in St. Anthony Village. The noise and pollution that will come for this car wash is no longer unknown, it is known, it has already happened, and this is not written out of fear, but out of knowledge. Let me say that I trust that on paper everything in the proposal meets the minimum standards of both state law and city code, but when we look at the real world applications of this proposal it falls far short of what St Anthony should want for its future. Please oppose this proposal, and let come together as a community to find a development that meets everyone’s needs. Dave Colling 2708 27th Ave NE St Anthony Village 55418 P.S. In summary: ●Tommy's Express Car Wash in New Hope is a model for what the Kenzie Terrace Car wash proposal will be. ●The Neighbors of the New Hope car wash have identified several issues over the last year: ○The customers using the vacuums are playing radios loud enough to hear inside homes in the neighborhood. ○Customers using the vacuums talking to each other speak at very loud volumes to be heard over the vacuums, carrying through the neighborhood. ○Trash collects in the residential areas that blows from the vacuum area of the car wash. ○Neighbors have to contact the car wash constantly for the noise coming from the vacuum area. ○Traffic going into the car wash during busy times exceeds city code. ●These are all issues likely to come to St. Anthony if this proposal is allowed to be built. 212 March 3, 2021 Subject: Notice of Action on Proposed Car Wash 2701 Kenzie Terrace My name is John Kufus and I reside at 2712 27th Ave. NE. I am one of the property owners who will be most adversely affected by the above proposal. My property is along the alley directly opposite the proposed car wash site. I wish to strongly disagree with the Planning Commission’s decision to approve a conditional use permit to Boulevard Autoworks for the construction of a carwash at 2701 Kenzie Terrace. My concerns are principally: Noise - Car wash doors will continually be open during periods of heavy traffic and therefore provide no mitigation of dryer blower noise. In addition, there will be noise due to vacuum cleaners, idling cars and car radios. Traffic congestion along Kenzie Terrace resulting in blocked alley access. Air Pollution due to idling cars. Decrease in property values due to the above concerns. Sincerely, John A. Kufus 2712 27the Ave. NE St. Anthony Village, MN 55418 612-419-0722 213 1 Charlie Yunker From:daveh0330@gmail.com Sent:Wednesday, March 3, 2021 11:17 AM To:Charlie Yunker Cc:Randy Stille; Wendy Webster; Jan Jenson; Tom Randle; Bernard Walker Subject:Proposed CUP for a car wash on Kenzie Terrace Caution: This email originated outside our organization; please use caution. Please include this email in the packet for the City Council meeting on March 9 about the CUP for the proposed car wash on Kenzie Terrace. To the SAV Mayor, Council members and City Manager, I am writing in opposition to the application for a conditional use permit for a Car Wash to be built on Kenzie Terrace adjacent to multi-family and single-family residences. Although the property is zon ed as commercial, St. Anthony Village code requires that certain conditions be met prior to approval of a Conditional Use Permit due to potential conflicts between commercial and nearby family residential buildings. Condition number three requires “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”. A car wash has aspects of the business that will inevitably be detrimental to the health, safety, general welfare of persons, as well as detrimental to property values of adjacent residential homes. The close proximity of existing residences – both multi-family and single family – is a particular cause for concern. I live on the 4th floor of the Kenzington facing that lot and my balcony will be only 40-50 feet from the proposed car wash. The noise of the machinery (car wash, dryers, vacuums) in addition to the noise associated with idling cars (car mufflers, radios, conversation etc.), water runoff and the air pollution associated with idling cars will make this business a very unpleasant neighbor. Imagine that you had to put up with all that for 12 hours a day, 7 days a week at your home. None of the proposed mitigations will help someone like myself unless Tom plans to build a 50 foot high wall between the Kenzington and the car wash. Even a cursory review of the situation makes it clear that this proposed use does not meet CUP requirements for many reasons. I would also like to speak about an important issue that relates to my particular area of expertise. I am a Realtor as well as a resident of the Kenzington and I am very concerned about how this business will impact the values of surrounding residential properties. As I stated in a previous letter, although there is no way to determine the exact impact of this business on surrounding property values, it is clear from my research and from consultation with knowledgeable real estate colleagues that there will almost certainly be a significant negative affect on nearby property values. Even if this business causes only a 10% reduction in property values (and my research indicates that it will likely be significantly larger than 10%), that is a painful hit to the residents of the Kenzington, many of whom are living on relatively modest fixed incomes. There are 24 condos at the Kenzington with balconies that face the proposed car wash face and 5 single family homes directly across the alley behind the car wash. Kenzington condos are currently valued at $100,000+ per unit and all 5 single family homes are valued above $300,000 each. Multiplying 24 times $100,000 gives you a total market value of $2,400,000 for the Kenzington condos. The 5 single family homes have a total market value of at least $1,500,000. The combined market value for the homes most directly affected by this proposal is at least $3,900,000. 214 2 Even a 10% reduction in property values of just the residences that are closest to the proposed car wash would mean a property value reduction of at least $400,000. My professional opinion is that it is more likely going to be twice that amount. That effect on surrounding property values is alone a sufficient reason to deny this application. As our elected officials, St. Anthony Village residents rely on you to thoroughly consider fact-based evidence as you make decisions consistent with our city ordinances. It is clear that this application for a CUP to allow a car wash to be built in this existing neighborhood does not meet the statutory requirements of St Anthony Village. I strongly urge you to deny the CUP application by BLVD Autoworks. Respectfully, David Hess 2601 Kenzington Terrace #409 215 St. Anthony City Council and Mayor March 3, 2021 I am writing you this letter at the request of St. Anthony resident Dave Colling. Dave visited my home to talk to me about Tommy’s Express Car Wash on Bass Lake Road in New Hope and my experience living near the facility. We were not able to talk when he visited but he left his phone number and we were able to speak on the phone. Dave asked if I would submit a letter of my experience and I agreed. As I understand from Dave the car wesh being proposed in St, Anthony near his home will be built the same as the one next to mine. I live directly behind the car wash at 5543 Maryland. The entire neighborhood within our area has been dealing with noise problems and garbage caused by the customers using the vacuums at the car wash. Most of the noise comes from radios playing and people yelling to each other over the noise of the vacuums. Although the noise coming from the vacuums is loud enough for me to hear, even with the 8 foot wood fence between us, it’s the noise coming from those using the car wash that has caused me to call and speak regularly with the workers at the car wash. Early on the recorded message telling customers entering the car wash to take their foot off the brake was so loud I could hear it in my home. The recording was eventually turned down and now I am only able to hear it outside or in my home with the windows open. I wanted to let you know what it is like living next to this car wash, and the constant noise I have to live with both inside and outside my home. As I told Dave I hope that you can take my experience as a warning to what he and his neighbors are in for if it's built. Thank you for your time.

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. 220 2 Adele Kunde 612-788-4659 221 Dear City Councilmembers of St. Anthony, The BLVD Auto carwash CUP application is flawed. Ryan Construction, the applicant’s representative, is an experienced developer and builder. They definitely know what is required to satisfy the elements for a CUP. A CUP is a Request and the City, in its quasi-judicial capacity, must ensure that the four elements required by City ordinance and State law (health, safety, general welfare, and that property values of neighboring properties will not be adversely affected) are completed to make an informed determination as to the worthiness of the project as a City asset. The applicant did not provide the studies required to satisfy the requirements in a CUP application. Sadly, the city planning committee did not outright reject the plan and send the applicant back to complete these studies. Instead, it was sent off to you to approve, based on the city planning committee’s recommendation to approve an incomplete application. Mr. Steve Grittman, in the last council meeting, seemed to think the CUP was adequate. This concerns me greatly. That a paid, contracted, experienced city planner would not know the law or worse, has decided not to follow the applicable ordinances is completely unacceptable. Let me be clear. In speaking with attorneys specializing in land use as well as persons who have worked in city planning for the city of Minneapolis, as well as reading all the applicable laws myself, Mr. Grittman is wrong in his understanding of the law here. It worries me that the city is getting advice from him. I suggested to Mayor Stille, after the last council meeting that what we have here is two opinions with a critical divide and that it might be wise to bring in St. Anthony legal counsel. He said that Steve Grittman is an attorney. I do not know if St. Anthony legal counsel has been brought into the matter, but I maintain that since we have competing understanding of the legal requirements, perhaps a third party, another attorney should weigh in on the issue at hand. Please refer to MN State Statute 462.3595. The applicant is responsible for meeting the 4 elements of the CUP as described in paragraph 1. At his own expense. This is a legal requirement. For the city to “take over” the responsibility of the applicant and do the work the applicant is required to do, creates a real legal dilemma for the city. By completing the studies for the applicant, you are in fact working for the applicant and against those constituents opposed to the project. It is a conflict of interest. You are to be a trier of facts, not the assembler of facts. The applicant is gaining an unfair advantage as the city works to help him with his CUP. This is His work, not the city’s work. As a quasi-judicial body, the city council must be completely divorced from working on this CUP. A complete ordinance review will be coming your way soon. The city must remain true to it’s commitment to equity as stated in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. This does not seem equitable. As a citizen of over 25 years, I have watched the city wrestle with other developments, the original iterations of Lowry Grove in particular but also the incredibly predictable outcome of 222 the mosque dilemma. I am stunned that after some of the poor planning of the past, we have sunk to a new low. In those cases, the planning committee did at least part of the work. The planning committee’s work on this project is shoddy. There seems to be no way other than rejection of the CUP because it was so poorly handled by the planning committee and now, at the direction of the Mayor, the city engineers are tasked to do work fundamental to the applicant’s CUP. It is unclear to me if the taxpayers will be paying for this service. Once again, we can only assume there will be legal challenges at the cost to the taxpayers. We have been down this road too many times. I’m asking for the Council and Mayor to reject the CUP. Any work done by the city for the applicant must be discarded. I would also suggest that the council investigate and evaluate what is happening at the planning committee and Mr. Grittman’s ability to do the job that St. Anthony needs in this moment. I am aware of much larger projects coming up that will require robust, detailed work by the planner and committee. I question the ability of the planning committee as well as the key person who is advising this whole process, the city planner. As council members, you have not been put in an enviable position as words are probably flying from both sides. This is why it is critical that the work be done to review job performance of the planner and planning committee. It will make all of our lives better to take the time to evaluate and take appropriate action however unpleasant it may be. To the credit of past planning committee members, city staff, and council members, the Lowry Grove debacle was resolved equitably after significant contributions from the constituency in this neighborhood. The city listened, recognized the deep expertise of constituents, and came to a better outcome and one to be proud of. I am wanting to be optimistic that the city planner will diligently watch the new, approved project. But can any of us really be optimistic? And here is another moment. Let’s look at the big picture of the south St. Anthony gateway. Does a carwash really fit into the 2040 vision of what is possible for a desirable gateway? Certainly, there are many types of land use options for the applicant that would garner support and even possibly excitement from their neighbors. In a meeting with neighbors, the applicant had actually asked for ideas from neighbors. Perhaps he is amenable to a different enterprise. It is a poor use of the land considering the R-1 zoning abutting the property. I’m not happy that I have had to drill down to understand all of this and “Fight City Hall” when I am clearly not a paid person, nor should I need to be an expert. I should be able to count on the city to follow and drill down into ordinances and hire personnel who are able to expertly do their jobs. Of course, as a citizen concerned with my neighborhood, I should remain engaged and I will continue to do so. I would appreciate hearing from all of you! I am open to an email or a phone call that could possibly lead to a meeting. Please send me an email telling me you have read my message to 223 you. I am concerned that some of the council members are not reading correspondence from constituents. This cannot be the case. Sincerely, Susan Guthrie 2616 Pahl Ave. St. Anthony, MN 55418 612-616-6117 Susanguthrie56@gmail.com 224 Mayor Randy Stille February 9, 2021 City of St. Anthony, MN Dear Mayor, As a citizen of St. Anthony along with approximately 90 other citizens, I am concerned that the approach and process of the city in regard to the CUP for the carwash on Kenzie is flawed. This is because the actual city ordinances are not being followed. Another email and letter should be coming soon to give you direct ordinance language. But of course, you can access this at any time. Let me be clear: I am not asking for the city to deny the CUP just because I don’t want the project. I believe that if the project can pass required studies the carwash should be allowed to proceed. I do believe that when the appropriate experts weigh in, the CUP will have to be denied based on their evaluations. I cannot know this for sure of course, but I know that as residents we deserve to know the expert’s findings. The City Engineer is not the appropriate person to be doing the analysis. Typically, as I am sure you know, the Applicant pays for appropriate expert analysis and presents this to the city to demonstrate that the project will not affect the Health, Safety, and Welfare of those surrounding the project. It must not negatively affect the property values of the adjacent and other neighboring properties. Mr. Grittman certainly knows this. A CUP is a Request to build based on the elements described in the ordinances of St. Anthony. Mr. Grittman has not followed the ordinances and I believe if you inquire the City’s attorneys, not just Mr. Grittman, you will find that the city is not following the standard of other cities and indeed not the standard the city has operated on for years through many projects. CUP’s are requests to proceed once the standard has been met. I hope you will reconsider and direct the applicant to obtain appropriate expert studies be done by professional engineers. As a taxpayer I am unhappy that the city would do this for the applicant but not for me. I’m sure Mr. Grittman would not have a city planning person develop a plan for me to build a deck. Why would the city assist the applicant to obtain the CUP by doing their work? While our city engineer may be quite talented, in order to do these evaluations, he/she must be recognized as having an expertise in these matters—state law requires it. An engineer cannot work outside of his/her expertise. And even if the city engineer has all of these qualifications, the taxpayers should not be paying for this work. If necessary, the CUP should be rejected until these studies are completed. The applicant can reapply. Of course, this is a burden for the applicant in one sense. But in another, the applicant did not provide the information required by the city ordinances. If the applicant was misled by Mr. Grittman, that is another matter. But Ryan construction is a big firm and they certainly know what is required. My question is why? Why is this happening? Even with the Lowry Grove project, these studies were done. Mr. Hoyt paid for the studies and assessment. The city, rightly, directed him to do 225 so. The applicant may choose to sue. But the city must do it’s work properly anyway. As a citizen, my concerns and rights must not only be considered, but work must be done to ensure my safety, welfare and quality of life. The four elements of a CUP must be adhered to following city ordinances. Please have a staff member call me and let me know you have read this letter. Thank you for your time. I will be sending this via mail as well as email so that I can be sure it reaches you.

Hello Charlie, Please include this letter in the public record on the car wash CUP, and the public comment forwarded to the Planning Commission. Thank you, Paul McHugh Dear members of the St Anthony Village Planning Commission: My wife and I own and live in one of the 25 units at Kenzington Condos that overlook the site of the proposed car wash. In my view and that of many of my neighbors, construction of this car wash would be a disaster for those of us in the adjoining residential area. 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? 227 2 Thank you, Paul McHugh Kenzington Condominiums Unit 307 228 1 Charlie Yunker From:David Tessier <damars07@yahoo.com> Sent:Wednesday, January 27, 2021 11:54 AM To:Randy Stille; Tom Randle; Bernard Walker; Jan Jenson; Wendy Webster; *SAPlanner; Charlie Yunker Subject:Proposed BLVD Auto Works Caution: This email originated outside our organization; please use caution.

As a resident of St. Anthony since 1961, I am opposed to the proposed application for a car wash at 2701 Kenzie Terrace. Annually you ask residents ‘conserve precious water resources’ and imposed permanent water restrictions (Resolution 17-032), yet we are looking to approve a car wash that washes vehicles using a fair amount of water. The City for many years has implemented a water conservation plan for commercial and residential usage. Not just within St. Anthony but nationwide, we all play a role in conserving water and being responsible water consumers. In addition, by reducing water consumption, it diverts harmful agents from our groundwater, rivers, and wastewater treatment systems. We need to examine the impact of water usage on our City, if we consider approximately 35 gallons per vehicle, and we heard at the January 26 meeting, they are proposing an average 100 cars a day — that is 3,500 gallons a day, 105,000 gallons per month, or 1.26 million gallons per year of water consumption and sewer usage. Please consider the long term effects this proposed development will have on the residents of St. Anthony, we ask that you deny the CUP application for a car wash.

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 231 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 232 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, 233 5 J. Michael Wandell Elizabeth C.

Mayor Stille and City Council members, I hope you will view this 3-minute video, recorded at Tommy's Car Wash in Crystal on February 26: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Y2ekCX-D7sVTrhF7nTGTzNkkJFxofZt-/view?usp=drivesdk It shows clearly that at the Crystal car wash, the exit door does not close when there is a continuous line of cars. BLVD's proposed car wash is purportedly very similar to this one. The implications for resulting noise problems are obvious. Regards, Paul McHugh St Anthony Village 235 AFFIDAVIT OF DAVID M. HERNANDEZ: Observations of Fact at My Car Wash l, David M. Hernandez, swear that the information in this statement. is truthfulto the best of my knowledge and understanding. My name is David Hernandez. I am 38 years old and reside in south Minneapolis. I am married and am the father of 2 children. I started working in the car wash industry in 2003. I have been the owner of North Star Car Wash at 3801 Stinson Avenue in St. Anthony Village since May 1st, 2424. My car wash was built in 2000. There are two large multi-family rental properties on adioining property to the east. The one closest to me is an age-55+ rental building dating from 2015; the other building originated in 2005. Both have many units with balconies. I estimate that my business washes about 1000 vehicles per week during the winter months and 600 vehicles per week during the summer months, an annual average of 800 vehicles per week. I have been asked to state what I have observed at my car wash regarding noise and illegal activities. 1. Noise: A, Mechanieal noise: Mechanical noise from my car wash comes primarily from two sour@s: dryer fans located at the exit of the car wash tunnel, at the Stinson Avenue end of the building; and, secondarily, 3 vacuum stations. There are also, on average, 50-75 car wash customers per week who generate loud noise. I have observed three main sources of customer noise: loud vehicle sound systems, "loud mufflers," and verbal altercations between customers. B. Loud vehicle soundsystems: A certain number of my customers play music at an extremely loud volume on stereo systems equipped with powerfulsubwoofers. They generally do this throughout the time they are at my car wash (8-10 minutes for the average customer). The majority of this music includes obscene language. I estimate that in an average week, I have at least 30 of these customers. C. Loud exhaust systems ("Loud mufflqrs"): I also have some customers whose vehicles'exhaust systems are extremely loud ("loud mufflers"). ln my experience, these vehicles make roughly as much noise, when moving forward, as the loud subwoofer audio systems mentioned above. I would estimate that I also see an average of at least 30 of these vehicles per week at my car wash. D. Loud verbal altercations: Although I work hard to keep cars moving quickly through my car wash, customers can get frustrated with other customers they may perceive as delaying their forward progress in line. This sometimes leads to vefual attercations with loud yelling, often including obscene language. These occur about 2-3 times a week on average. They typically last between 30 seconds and 2 minutes. 236 2. Criminal Activity: Soon after I opened my car wash, I observed clear signs of periodic drug dealing at the vacuum stations and parking area to the south side of the building, averaging about one incident a week. (l have also observed many clear instances of drug dealing at two other car washes, both in south Minneapolis.) I immediately began to actively and diligently work to discourage this illegal activity, by proactively speaking with customers whose behavior seemed suspicious. I have also reported suspicious behavior to the police and worked cooperatively with them. After 6 months, in November I started to see the drug dealers operating on 38th Street, one-half block from the car wash, instead of on my property. I am hopeful that my continued diligent efforts will succeed at keeping criminal activity off of my property. l, David M. Hernandez, once again swear that the information above is a complete representation of the facts to the best of my knowledge.
