12 the August Planning Commission meeting to formally consider the proposed language and
13 provide any final edits or recommendations.
14
15 Staff and the Planning Commission recommend the City Council adopts the proposed

17
18
19 Motion by Councilmember Randle, seconded by Councilmember Jenson, to approve Second
20 Reading of Ordinance 2022-07 – An Ordinance Amending the St. Anthony City Code, by
21 Amending: Sections 91.06, 91.56, 91.57 Relating to Keeping and Feeding of Animals; Section
22 94.15 and 96.02 Relating to the Use of the Public Right of Way; Section 96.03 Relating to

26 Motion carried 5-0.
27
C.28 Resolution 22-065 – Authorizing the Mutual Aid Agreement Between the City of St.
29 Anthony Village Public Works and Other Agencies Within the State of Minnesota.
30
31 Public Works Director Jeremy Gumke reviewed the purpose of this agreement is to provide a
32 process for local units of government to share public works personnel and equipment with
33 participating agencies. There is no membership or fixed cost to participate in this public works
34 mutual aid pact.
35
36 This agreement should not be interpreted as being limited to only use during catastrophic
37 situations, rather it may be leveraged for routine circumstances such as training efforts and
38 maintenance operations for example. The decision when to request assistance or provide
39 assistance is left entirely to the discretion of the requesting and/or sending party. The sending
40 party has discretion whether to provide personnel or equipment and can recall such assistance at
41 any time.
42
43 If resources are requested it should be expected that those costs would be invoiced, however the
44 agreement says that “charges may be levied”, so it is the decision of the sending party whether or
45 not to invoice the receiving party. The agreement also speaks to responsibility and liability. Each
46 party shall be responsible for its own personnel or damaged equipment. Responding personnel

1 shall be deemed to be performing regular duties for each respective sending party for purposes of
2 workers compensation.
3
4 Hennepin County Emergency Management (HCEM) has volunteered to serve as the
5 administrator coordinator for this agreement among local units of government. This agreement
6 will better position the City to coordinate and work with its partnering agencies through a
7 formalized agreement.
8
9 Staff recommends approval of the Resolution 22-065 Authorizing the Mutual Aid Agreement
10 Between the City of St. Anthony Village Public Works and Other Agencies Within the State of
11 Minnesota.
12
13 Councilmember Jenson asked if this is the first time we are doing this for public works and Mr.
14 Gumke stated it is the first time and puts the City in a better position to handle an emergency if
15 needed.
16
17 Councilmember Webster stated she appreciates Mr. Gumke’s proactiveness in pursuing this
18 agreement.
19
20 Mayor Stille stated an example is the fencing that would be available in a crisis situation and
21 manpower to construct the fencing. This is a springing framework and if the time comes it can be
22 utilized.
23
24 Motion by Councilmember Webster, seconded by Councilmember Walker, to approve
25 Resolution 22-065 Authorizing the Mutual Aid Agreement Between the City of St. Anthony
26 Village Public Works and Other Agencies Within the State of Minnesota.

permit to keep up to six chickens at their residential property at the above address. The property is
zoned R-1, Single Family Residential, and is surrounded primarily by single family neighborhood in all

The Applicants have provided a diagram of the property showing the location and dimensions of the
chicken coop in relation to their property. The proposed location is near a garden next to the alley, in an
area adjacent to a detached garage, and a separate driveway leading from the alley to a rear-loaded
attached garage. The proposed enclosed structure would be approximately 6 feet wide by 6 feet long,
with an open fenced “run” of 4 feet by 11.5 feet, extending north/east from the coop. The plans specify
height of the coop or run at between 5 and 6 feet high.
The applicants indicate that the coop and
run area are entirely enclosed by structures
and an existing privacy fence.
City Council Agenda

would be enclosed by cedar wood and poultry wire fencing.
As noted, the applicants are requesting approval for six chickens. The City’s requirements will typically

concerns. The application indicates compliance with this condition.

land, without approval of the City Council. The City Council may, before approving or denying any
request for approval, request a report from the Health Officer concerning the effect on public health.”
REQUESTED ACTION
Staff has reviewed the request, and recommends approval of the request.
1.Motion to adopt a resolution approving the request to keep six female chickens on the
property located at 2601 St. Anthony Boulevard. A draft resolution reflecting approval is
attached to this staff report. It is noted that the facility has already been constructed, and the
applicants are requesting approval after the fact.
2.Motion to deny the request for chickens at 2601 St. Anthony Boulevard, and direct staff to
prepare a resolution declaring terms of the same. In the event the City Council chooses denial
of the request, it should clearly state its reasons for the denial and direct staff to prepare a
resolution based on said findings.

MEMORANDUM
To:Mayor Stille and St. Anthony Village City Council
From:Stephen Grittman, City Planner
Date:October 5, 2022
Meeting Date:October 11, 2022
NAC Project No.323.01 – 21.07
Request:Request for a Conditional Use Permit for an amendment to a Planned
Unit Development for a new Bank building with Drive Through Facility
Property Address: 3800 Silver Lake Road
Property PID:31-30-23-34-0017
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Applicants are the owners of the property (Sterling Organization), representing Chase Bank
as a new construction tenant. The project involves amending a PUD zoning district to
accommodate a new banking facility with a Drive-Through facility. The developer proposes to
construct a new bank facility on a portion of the former Walmart parking lot, now a separate
parcel in front of the “Ruby” multi-family residential building.
The building is a 3,308 square foot structure that would sit on the south half of what is
currently a vacant paved space. The applicant proposed to remove the existing asphalt and
concrete on that portion of the site – the plans indicate that the northerly portion of the site
would be subject to the property owner’s separate work.
Banking and other financial institutions are permitted uses in the Commercial District generally,
and in the Silver Lake PUD specifically. The drive-through facility requires a separate
Conditional Use Permit. As such, the request for a Conditional Use incorporates an amendment
to the Silver Lake PUD District. In this case, the drive-through facility serves an ATM, and there
is no drive-through teller window.
To be noted is that the project construction limits relate to the south portion of the existing
parcel. No subdivision is being proposed at this time, and the northerly portion of the site has
no specific plans for modification as a part of this request.
October 11, 2022

STAFF AND PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the proposed application on September 20,
2022. No one from the public was present to speak to the proposal, and the applicant was
represented by a member of its consulting/design team. The Planning Commission discussed
the item, asked questions of staff and the applicant. The Commission commented as to access
into and out of the site, and screening and setback distances from the Ruby apartment building.
Following up on a specific question raised by the Commission, the distance from the Ruby
building to the property line is approximately 45 feet, and an additional 70 feet from the
property line is proposed to the corner of the drive-through portion of the Chase building.
After the hearing, the Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the proposal.
Staff has reviewed the project for land use compliance with the intent and policies of the City’s
Comprehensive Plan, and for zoning consistency with the C, Commercial District as a baseline.
In summary, the Comprehensive Plan promotes use of the subject properties that reflect the
proposed commercial uses in the area. The proposed Conditional Use Permit PUD meets the
requirements of the Zoning Ordinance for the baseline district zoning standards. There are no
areas requested for PUD flexibility.
As such, planning staff recommends approval of the Conditional Use Permit to amend the Silver
Lake PUD district as proposed for the banking facility with a drive-through window and lane.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Applicant:Sterling Organization for Chase Bank
Owner:Sterling Organization
Location:3800 Silver Lake Roade;
Existing Land Uses Vacant Parking Lot

Action:60 Days: October 17, 2022
Letter Sent:NA
120 Days:December 16, 2022
1.Background
Project Description. The applicants are seeking a Conditional Use Permit to amend the
Silver Lake PUD through the construction of a financial institution with a drive-through
facility on a portion of the former Walmart parking lot. The site location is just south of the
October 11, 2022
Page 3
existing Holiday station, adjoining the entrance drive to the Ruby apartments and the
Starbucks coffee shop.
The use is consistent with both the Comprehensive Plan’s land use direction, as well as with
the intent of the relevant zoning, which would be “C”, Commercial for the business areas of
the Silver Lake PUD District. For commercial property, drive-through facilities add a
Conditional Use Permit requirements for what would otherwise be permitted uses.
The facility is proposed to occupy the south half of the 1.2 acre site. The northly portion
would be reserved for future development.
2.Analysis
Site Plan Review Summary
Proposed Bank Facility - 3800 Silver Lake Road
The new bank building would be approximately 3,803 square feet. The site currently has no
direct access to Silver Lake Road, and would take its access from an internal private street in the
Silver Lake PUD. The applicants will need to confirm access permission for the subject property,
which previously had been utilized as parking for the former Walmart facility. Moreover, when
the northerly portion of the site is ready for development, a plat and revised access easements
may be required as a part of those land use applications.
Circulation, Access, and Parking. Traffic entering the site would have access to parking along
the front entry portion of the building, as well as parking along the east (front) of the lot. This
October 11, 2022
Page 4
southerly access point would also serve the drive-through lane that loops to the ATM window
on the west side of the building. A total of 31 parking spaces serve the building, a ratio of one
space per 123 square feet gross. The zoning ordinance requires at least one space per 300
square feet. The proposal is easily consistent with this aspect of the code.
The drive-through gains its access from this southerly driveway. The drive-through appears to
have stacking space for as many as six to seven vehicles, with a “by-pass” lane for vehicles that
decide to leave the queue. For ATM-only service, this stacking amount should easily serve peak
use of the facility. The bank also includes a walk-up vestibule with additional ATM services as a
part of the main banking lobby.
A second access drive is shown north of the building, connecting the private street to the north
portion of the bank driveway. In the northeast corner of the site, an internal driveway
connection would be made to the future development on the north portion of the subject
parcel. As noted, driveway easements would be required to ensure that all parcels have
continued access throughout the PUD area.
Building Materials. Building Materials are a combination of primarily brick, glass, and cast
stone with metal panel accents. The building itself would be as high as 22 feet to the top of the
highest parapet, well under the maximum 35 foot building height. No issues with materials or
general design are evident.
Signage. No signage information has been included with the permit request. It should be
noted that under the general sign requirements, each freestanding business location is
permitted to have two signs, with total area based on the code requirements applied to the site
in question. One of those signs may be a monument sign.
Staff note on signage following the Planning Commission meeting:
On the site currently exist two freestanding signs. One is in the southeast corner of the Chase
site, and is proposed to remain in place. That sign is a monument sign identifying various
tenants of the Silver Lake Village shopping district.
The other existing sign is on the developer/owner’s property in the northeast corner of the
site, the former Walmart freestanding sign. This sign is no longer applicable to the overall
project area. Approval of the Ruby project included a requirement for separate signage
approvals consistent with the requirements of the City’s sign regulations. As such, it is
expected that this abandoned sign should be removed as a condition of this amendment
approval.
Separate sign permitting will be a requirement for identification on the proposed Chase
building, and will need to take the current monument sign into account. The conditions of
approval incorporated into the Planning Commission’s recommendation have been amended
to more specifically address this aspect of the plan.

Landscaping. The landscaping plan illustrates a fairly well landscaped site. Additional overstory
tree planting is shown along the west boundary adjoining the private street, and the remainder
of the site includes a variety of ornamental trees, shrubs, perennial plantings, and lawn. The
limits of construction appear to retain a row of existing trees along the common PUD driveway
along the south boundary of the site.
Trash Enclosure. The site plan also includes a detached trash enclosure facility in the
southwest corner of the site. The drawings appear to suggest bollard protection of the
enclosure, but details, materials, and other aspects of the enclosure are not identified. The
enclosure should be constructed of materials that reflect those used in the principal building.
Submission of plans verifying this requirement will be a condition of CUP approval.
3.Criteria for and Consistency with Criteria for PUD Approval. Title XV Land Usage, Chapter
152 Zoning Code, Section §152.209.
SUMMARY AND STAFF/PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS
Conditional Use Permit for an Amendment to the Silver Lake PUD - Staff and Planning
Commission recommend approval with the following conditions (as amended below):
1.The applicant provides signage details consistent with the City’s sign ordinance for
separate permitting. This condition includes a requirement for removal of the non-
conforming/abandoned former “Walmart” sign on the northeast corner of the subject
parcel, and incorporation of the existing monument sign on the Chase portion of the
project site, along the primary entrance road.
2.Access easements are updated as necessary to ensure access and cross use of common
private streets in the PUD.
3.The applicant provides plans for the proposed trash enclosure verifying consistency of
materials between the enclosure and the principal building.
4.Issues related to grading, drainage and utilities shall be subject to comment and
recommendation by the City Engineer.
5.Consideration of comments of other City Staff.
This recommendation is based on a finding that the proposal, with the conditions cited, is
consistent with the requirements for Conditional Use Permit and PUD consideration, with the
long-term objectives of the recommendations and policies of the St. Anthony Comprehensive
Plan.

MEMORANDUM
To:Mayor Stille and St. Anthony Village City Council
From:Stephen Grittman, City Planner
Date:October 5, 2022
Meeting Date:October 11, 2022
RE:St. Anthony – City Code Updates
NAC Project No.323.02 – 22.01
PROJECT STATUS
This memorandum forwards the materials for the 3rd reading of the current round of City Code updates.
The Council previously passed the 1st and 2nd readings. With approval of this reading, the amendments
would be ready for adoption, according to the attached Ordinance.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
As the Council is aware, a committee of staff has been reviewing the City Code to address various
aspects of the language, looking for updating needs, and incorporating staff experience with permitting
issues, property owner questions, and code enforcement experience. In the prior round of these
amendments, the Commission reviewed (and the City Council adopted) regulations related to Swimming
Pools, Dumpsters, Natural Landscapes, Non-commercial Signs, and a variety of other inconsistencies
that had been ongoing issues for staff.
This memorandum provides a second round of updates to the table-form list of proposed City Code and
Zoning Code amended language for City Council consideration. Staff noticed a public hearing for the
August Planning Commission meeting to formally consider the proposed language, and make any final
edits or recommendations, prior to sending the material on to City Council for consideration.
That hearing was held on August 16th. The Commission passed the proposed amendments on to the City
Council as explained in the accompanying table, and as written in the accompanying Ordinance.
The topics covered in this version include Animals; a brief supplement to the previously approved
Natural Landscapes language; extensive updates to the regulations relating to Fences; use of the Public
Right of Way; and regulations relating to Bus Benches. As with the prior set of amendments, we are not
expecting to address the boundaries of any zoning districts with this material. The changes have arisen
from staff experience with various permitting or construction issues, and various code enforcement
activities.
October 11, 2022
Page 2
The Planning Commission discussion passed the amendments, with discussion on two primary topics.
First, the fencing language was amended to set the maximum height for rear and side-yard fences at six
feet six inches, down from the previously considered change to 7 feet. This item is also addressed in the
Tomas amendment request being considered as a separate item – this change is contemplated in both
this set of general code updates, and the Tomas private application.
The second significant discussion related to bus benches, and the treatment of the off-site advertising
that supports the private placement of those benches. There was some consideration at the Planning
Commission to prohibit these types of signs altogether, with the acknowledgment that the privately-
provided bus benches would then be removed by the providers. Instead, the discussion suggested that
where the benches provide an important public service, the City should consider providing those (or
attempt to work with charitable groups to do so).
Because that option would raise more significant issues of cost, maintenance, and other aspects beyond
the normal scope of the Planning Commission jurisdiction, the Commission opted to pass on the
amendment, with this discussion as context for Council consideration. Thus, the discussion was one of
weighing the benefits of the bus benches, against the variable costs: one being the allowance of the
advertising in the public right of way, or the competing cost of financially maintaining the benches as a
governmental function.
The language for the bus bench regulation is developed from other various sources, and is proposed
here due to the occupation of the pubic right of way, and the observance that in some cases, there have
been maintenance issues in the right of way which has raised problems for (especially) sidewalk snow
maintenance. Since these benches serve an advertising purpose for their sponsors, but can raise issues
for public pedestrian circulation and/or maintenance problems, staff is bringing this forward for
consideration.
This material codifies the regulation of Bus Benches that are placed by private vendors on public right of
way at bus stops in the city. This is an aspect of the City’s right of way management, not technically a
zoning code element, although a few changes to the Sign section of the code will need to accompany
this section, included after the Bench Section below. They are usually located on main roadways, and
often on sidewalks. Neither Hennepin nor Ramsey County regulate bus benches in their rights of way.
Moreover, Metro Transit provides various levels of bench or shelter based on the number of boardings
at any particular stop. The benches in question – and the regulations proposed - are designed to
address those stops with privately-places benches below the Metro Transit thresholds.
Staff has found that these benches can generate significant income for the bench owners through
leasing advertising space on the bench. Staff has also found that neither Metro Transit nor the right of
way owners (usually Hennepin and Ramsey Counties) do not regulate these benches in their rights-of-
way. This licensing process will allow the city the opportunity to ensure that any such benches are
properly placed and maintained. It further provides for appropriate insurance of those occupying the
right of way, and requires a clause indemnifying the city in the event of a liability claim.
The benches serve a public purpose in that persons utilizing scheduled transit often rely on them as both
markers and rest while waiting for their ride. Because these benches provide advertising, they become
a de facto sign. As such, the proposed regulations provide for size, location, and various other
requirements to ensure that they serve their public purpose, but do not become a nuisance.

prey, squirrels, chipmunks,
raccoons, coyotes, weasels, wild
ferrets, sheep, goats, swine,
monkeys, chimpanzees and deer.
This section adds
definitions for 3 classes of
animals: Domesticated,
Farm, and Wild.
The current regulations in
code address how
“domestic” animals are
regulated, but have no
definition.
A few farm animals are
listed as being prohibited,
but the list is not very
inclusive, so the ordinance
creates a definition, and a
list that is more inclusive.
(Chickens would continue
to be treated as they
currently are: prohibited,
but with the allowance by
Council permit).
Finally, a definition for wild
animals is created, and
then a series of provisions
to regulate/prohibit the
feeding of such animals is
new text. An exception
made for songbirds and a
few other specific
situations.
§ 91.56 KEEPING OF CERTAIN ANIMALS. No
person may keep swine, cattle,
horses, goats farm animals or wild
animals as defined in this Code, nor
more than 2 dogs or 3 dogs allowed
under § 91.01 through 91.05 or
fowl, within the city nearer than 500
feet to any human habitation or
platted land, without approval of
the City Council. The City Council
may, before approving or denying
any request for approval, request a
report from the Health Officer
concerning the effect on public
health.
The current language
allows 2 dogs, or a “kennel”
license for 3 dogs. No
change is proposed in that
language. Cats (addressed
by some city’s codes), are
not subject to these
limitations.
§ 91.57 KEEPING OF CERTAIN ANIMALS.
FEEDING OF WILD ANIMALS.
1) ) No person shall intentionally
feed wild animals within the City.
Intentional feeding means the
provision of any grain, fruit,
vegetables, nuts, salt licks, or any
other food that attracts wild
animals.
a) Living food sources such
as trees and other live vegetation
shall not be considered food for wild
animals.
2) Feeding Songbirds. The feeding of
songbirds is permitted under the
following conditions:
a) Feeding is done from a
bird feeder that is designed
to prevent other wild
animals from feeding and is
placed at least 5 feet above
the ground.
b) The bird feeder does not
become an attractive nuisance to
other wild animals.
c) Songbird feeding occurs
on private property owned or
controlled by the person
responsible for the feeder.
3) Exemptions.
a) Specific to Section
91.57(2a), persons that
cannot physically place
materials 5 feet or higher
from the ground, must place
feeder at the highest point
physically possible and must
comply with the other
standards contained in
Section 91.57(2).
b) Snakes (less than four (4)
feet in length), gerbils,
hamsters, guinea pigs mice,
turtles, fish (not prohibited
by Minnesota DNR) and
birds (not prohibited by
Minnesota DNR) kept inside
of a residence and within a
restrictive cage or habitat
c) Animal Species otherwise
allowed and/or licensed by
the City.
d) The provisions of Section 91.57
shall not apply to the employees or
agents of the City, County, the
State, the Federal government or
veterinarians who in the course of
their official duties have wild
animals in their custody or under
their management.
§ 91.5758 INTERFERENCE WITH CITY
PERSONNEL. No person may in any
manner molest, hinder, or interfere
with any person employed by the
city to capture and impound dogs or
other animals while the person is
within the course and scope of
employment.
This section is renumbered,
with no text changes.
Gardens and
Yards
§150.094 (E) (E) Yard cover. Every yard of
premises on which a dwelling stands
must be covered by lawns and/or
ground cover of vegetation,
gardens, hedges, shrubbery, rock or
wood mulch, or related decorative
materials consistent with those
commonly available at home and
garden stores, and must be
maintained. Once an area has been
converted to turf grass the land
owner shall not allow the turf grass
to exceed the height of 6 inches or
be allowed to go to seed. No land
owner may permit or maintain on
the land any growth of weeds, grass,
brush or other rank vegetation to
exceed the height of an average
height greater than 6 inches, any
This proposal cleans up a
reference that should have
been removed from the
Code as a part of the prior
round of updates. That
Code established a setback
requirement of 3 feet from
adjoining property; and it
has been the City’s policy to
allow/promote pollinator-
friendly plantings in the
right of way. This change
deletes the conflicting
language.
Additional language will
help limit the
encroachment and extent
of natural landscapes in the
setback or public areas.
accumulation of dead weeds, grass
or brush, or any noxious weeds or
plants as defined by the Minnesota
Department of Agriculture. Gardens
(pollinator, vegetable, flower, rock,
etc.) are permitted types of yard
cover, and must be maintained. and
not encroach on other property or
the right of way.
Fences
§ 150.071 BUILDING ZONING PERMITS
REQUIRED.
A building zoning permit is required
for the construction or alteration of
a fence, and for any additions to a
fence. The permit must be obtained
in the name of the owner of the
property on which the fence is or
will be located. Applications must be
made on forms provided by the city.
The applicant must provide the
Building Inspector with a set of
plans and specifications for the
fence. Permit fees must be paid in
accordance with Ordinance 33.061
of the City Code.
This change corrects the
application process and
permitting, which is no
longer a building permit
under that separate code.
The zoning ordinance
regulations fences, so a
zoning permit is the proper
avenue.
§ 150.072 REQUIREMENTS.
(A) Location. Any fence constructed
or altered after 6-3-1982 must be
located entirely upon the private
property of the owner to whom the
building permit was issued.
Ownership of the permit fence
passes with ownership of the
property. The fence must be setback
a distance from the owner’s
property line sufficient to avoid
encroachment onto adjoining
private or public property or a
public right-of-way. The applicant
represents that the fence will be
entirely on the property of the fence
applicant. At its sole discretion, the
city may require the applicant for
the permit to locate and mark the
property line abutting the public
property by having a registered
surveyor place permanent survey
pins or stakes on the property line.
Add the requirement for
survey data to the location
section, as it applies to any
fence permit (not just when
the fence is adjacent to the
public right of way as in (B)
below).
If the survey information is not
available and the applicant elects
not to establish the property line by
survey, the permit will not be issued
unless the applicant signs an
affidavit stating that the applicant is
the owner of the premises upon
which the fence exists or is to be
located.
(B) Abutting public property. If a
fence is or is to be adjacent to a
street, alley, public right-of-way, or
other public property, the city may
require the applicant for the permit
to locate and mark the property line
abutting the public property by
having a registered surveyor place
permanent survey pins or stakes on
the property line. If the survey
information is not available and the
applicant elects not to establish the
property line by survey, the permit
will not be issued unless the
applicant signs an affidavit stating
that the applicant is the owner of
the premises upon which the fence
exists or is to be located.
This section is deleted, with
the elimination of the
building permit
requirement, and the
inclusion of the property
line notes in (A) above.
(C) Fence size. All fence and wall
heights shall be measured from the
finished grade, except that the
height of a railing, wall, fence, or
screening affixed to a deck
constructed on the ground but
raised above ground level, will be
measured from the elevation of the
raised deck for that portion which is
affixed to the raised deck. The grade
at the fence line shall not be altered
in any way that artificially increases
the maximum permitted height of
the fence. Required fence height
shall be measured and applied only
at each post, and no section of
fence between posts shall exceed
the height of the higher of the two
posts between which such fence is
constructed.
These sections are under
separate consideration by
the City Council due to a
pending application.
This addition specifies
measurement
requirements. Because
land can fluctuate, there is
a potentially infinite
number of locations for
fence measurement. By
restricting the
measurement locations to
the posts only, planning,
construction, and
enforcement of fence
regulations is simplified.
The proposed language
specifies that the fence
sections may not exceed
the height of the post(s) to
which it is attached.
These clauses also
accommodate fences
constructed on a slope, in
which the manufactured
fence panels can be
installed without running
afoul of the height
regulations as the ground
falls away to the next
(lower) post location.
(C)(1) Residential Uses.
a. Front Yards. No fence, fence post,
or post cap shall be over four (4)
feet fifty-two (52) inches in height
within a required front yard setback.
b. Side Yards. No fence , fence post,
or post cap shall be over six feet six
inches (6’-6”) feet in height. A fence
up to six feet six inches (6’-6”) in
height shall be allowed on corner
lots along the corner side behind
the nearest front corner of the
principal building.
c. Rear Yards. No fence, fence post,
or post cap, shall be over six feet six
inches (6’-6”) in height.
Height is changed here to
accommodate the
fluctuations noted above by
allowing a slight increase
over current height
limitations, again to
accommodate slope, and to
acknowledge that posts
(and ornamental post caps)
will often extend above the
top line of the fence itself.
Further, the change from 6
feet to 7 feet incorporates
the building code change
that increased the height
threshold for when a
building permit is required
for fences and other
structures.
150.072
C.2, C.3, D, and E.
C. (2) Commercial/Industrial Uses.
a. Front Yards. No fence shall be
over six (6) seven (7) feet in height
within a required front yard setback.
Fences may extend to a total height
of eight (8) with a security arm for
barbed wire if a conditional use
permit is obtained.
b. Side Yards. No fence shall be over
six (6) seven (7) feet in height.
Fences may extend to a total height
of eight (8) with a security arm for
barbed wire if a conditional use
permit is obtained.
c. Rear Yards. No fence shall be over
six (6) seven (7) feet in height.
Fences may extend to a total height
of eight (8) with a security arm for
barbed wire if a conditional use
permit is obtained.
d. Exemption. Through the approval
of a conditional use permit (CUP),
Ffence heights as listed above in
This section incorporates
the changes from 6 feet to
7 feet heights into the
Commercial District.
No changes are proposed to
Industrial or Recreational
fencing standards. Sight
visibility at intersections is
likewise retained as
currently stated.
§150.072, C, 2, a-c may be increased
for the following types of fencing
§ 150.073 CONSTRUCTION AND
MAINTENANCE.
Every fence must be
constructed in a
substantial manner and of
substantial material,
reasonably suitable for the
purpose for which the
fence is intended as listed
in the criteria below. Any
fence which is dangerous
by reason of its
construction or state of
disrepair or is otherwise
injurious to public safety,
health, or welfare is
hereby declared to be a
nuisance.
(A) Fences and walls shall be
constructed in a manner and of such
materials that do not adversely
affect the appearance of the
neighborhood or adjacent property
values. Fences shall not be
constructed from poultry netting
(chicken wire), non-prefabricated
welded wire, snow fence, branches,
or materials originally intended for
other purposes, unless upon the
showing of a high degree of
architectural quality achieved
through the use of such materials
and prior approval is granted by the
Zoning Administrator or other
Authorized Agent.
Staff discussed the
prohibited materials
portion of this section,
acknowledging that some
(particularly the welded
wire) were commonly
available as fencing
material within wood
framing or other options.
Apart from this note, and
because this element has
not otherwise been a
significant issue, no other
changes are proposed.
(B) Fences and walls
hereafter erected shall be
durable, weather
resistant, rust proof, and
easily maintained.
(C) Fences shall have structural
supports (posts/footings) as
required by the Building Official to
ensure that the fence will continue
to be structurally sound.
This change replaces
“Building Official” review
(which does not occur) with
general language.
(D) Fences and walls shall be
constructed of new or like new
materials. Like new materials used
shall require prior approval is

granted by the Zoning Administrator
or other Authorized Agent prior to
issuance of the required zoning
permit.
(E) The finished appearance of
fences and walls shall be
constructed with the higher quality
finish directed toward the exterior
of the property outward toward
adjoining property or public right of
way if the visual quality of the fence
or wall is not the same on both
sides.
Minor change to clarify
intent.
(F) The framing and posts
of wood, chain link, picket,
stockade, and decorative
metal fences shall face the
inside of the parcel area
fenced. The side of the
fence considered to be the
face (facing as applied to
fence posts) shall face the
abutting property.
(G) No more than two (2)
types of related fencing
materials shall be used in
any fence and wall.
(H) Both sides of any fence or wall
shall be maintained in a condition of
reasonable repair and appearance
by its owner and shall not be
allowed to become and remain in a
condition of disrepair or danger, or
constitute a nuisance, public or
private. Property owners should
take due care in selecting
maintenance-free fence materials,
or in placement of fence location, in
areas where ongoing maintenance
activities may require access
through adjoining property or is
otherwise restricted.
This addition reinforces the
caution to fence builders
that maintenance should
be considered and will
continue to be a
requirement, despite
conditions that could
restrict maintenance
requirements.

responsible for providing proof of

MEMORANDUM
To:Mayor Stille and St. Anthony Village City Council
From:Stephen Grittman, City Planner
Date:October 5, 2022
Meeting Date:October 11, 2022
NAC Project No.323.01 – 22.01
Request:Request for an amendment to the City Code related to fence height
Property Address:NA
Property PID:NA
STAFF AND PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
As the Council may recall, this item came before the City as an independent code amendment
request related to fence height. On a parallel track, the City’s Code Review Committee was
considering recommendations to a more comprehensive overhaul of the fence section in the
code. As time has passed, the two items have converged, with the larger Code amendment
incorporating the changes requested by the private property owner/applicant, along with the
other Committee-generated elements. Both the applicant’s request, and the City’s proposed
ordinance, have resulted in a proposed fence height of 6’-6”.
Since the Council has conducted two prior readings of Ordinance 2022-07 (the City Code
Committee version) as now written, staff believes that it would be appropriate to dismiss action
on Ordinance 2022-06 (the Tomas application version) with the height specification as moot.
Therefore, the requested Council Action below recommends dismissing Ordinance 2022-06,
pending adoption of 2022-07 in a prior action.
For additional background:
The applicant for this item proposed an increase in fence height from the current 6 foot
maximum to 6 feet, 6 inches to accommodate variations in the grade causing measurements of
a standard 6 foot fence panel to exceed the height standard. Staff had recommended shifting
the amendment to 7 feet, as this was consistent with building code thresholds, and the
Planning Commission passed that proposal.
Following the Commission’s action, the Council took up work session discussion of a broader
code amendment (separately brought forward in this agenda). When this applicant’s request
was brought forward to Council, there was concern noted over the full 7 feet height, and the
October 11, 2022
Page 2
item was tabled. In the interim, the Planning Commission took up the broader amendments,
which included other fence standards. The Commission agreed that a height of 6 feet, 6 inches
would suffice for the purposes of both the applicant and the general code overall. As such, this
amendment is changed to the 6’-6” height standard, adjusting the request downward from 7
feet as had been proposed by staff.
In the larger City Code amendment on this same agenda, we have adjusted the fence height to
match this request.
With the Planning Commission recommendation, Staff recommends approval of the attached
amendment increasing maximum height of residential fences at 6’-6”, and establishing clearer
standards for measurement.
REQUESTED COUNCIL ACTION:
Motion to dismiss Ordinance No. 2022-06 as moot, related to residential fence height and
measurement in Section 150.070(C), based on the finding that the proposed change has been
incorporated into a prior adopted amendment as Ordinance No. 2022-07.
Alternative Actions: 1. Motion to Adopt Ordinance 2022-06, based on findings identified by
the Council.
2. Motion to Table action on the amendment, pending addition
information from staff, applicant, or other sources.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Applicant:Mark Tomas
Address:3308 Skycroft Drive
Deadline for Agency
Action:60 Days: August 20, 2022
Letter Sent:August 12, 2022
120 Days:October 19, 2022
ANALYSIS
1.Background
The applicant is proposing that the City amend the current fence regulations to allow an
increase in residential fence height. The amendment would alter fence height throughout
the zoning districts or land uses to which it is effective. In this case, the relevant land uses
are single family residential parcels in the R-1 zoning district.
The current fence ordinance has a number of issues related to permit processing, code
consistency (including consistency with building code), and technical or practical aspects
including measurement. The City’s Code Review Committee has separately been
contemplating a series of amendments to the fence regulations for these reasons. While a
October 11, 2022
Page 3
number of those amendments are likely to come forward with other code amendment
recommendations, this resident is seeking amendments to the height regulations as a
separate application. The applicant’s request specifically relates to the section of the fence
code relating to height. That section reads as follows:
(C) Fence size. All fence and wall heights shall be measured from the finished
grade, except that the height of a railing, wall, fence, or screening affixed to a
deck constructed on the ground but raised above ground level, will be measured
from the elevation of the raised deck for that portion which is affixed to the raised
deck. The grade at the fence line shall not be altered in any way that artificially
increases the maximum permitted height of the fence.
(1) Residential Uses.
a. Front Yards. No fence shall be over four (4) feet in height within
a required front yard setback.
b. Side Yards. No fence shall be over six (6) feet in height. A fence
up to six (6) feet in height shall be allowed on corner lots along the
corner side behind the nearest front corner of the principal
building.
c. Rear Yards. No fence shall be over six (6) feet in height.
When this code was written, fences of more than 6 feet in height required a building
permit, with review and permitting through the Building Official. The revised building code
has changed this height to 7 feet. One of the reasons for this change is an
acknowledgement that fence construction often occurs over uneven terrain, and a fence
that uses 6 feet tall material (a commonly available dimension) is often a few inches more
than 6 feet above the ground below it. Moreover, many types of fence construction include
post design where the tops of the posts extend a few inches above the top line of the fence
panel.
These conditions have been prevalent for many years. Technically, such fences were
required to obtain building permits, be reviewed by building inspection staff, and be
inspected by the building official. In practice, this was not happening, whether in St.
Anthony or most any other locality when these variations were only a few inches above the
6 foot mark. As such, the writers of the Building Code amended that code from 6 feet to
the 7 feet now in force.
October 11, 2022
Page 4
The taller dimension accommodates the variations noted (terrain and post design), with the
understanding that the majority of such fences utilize fence panels of 6 feet (see illustration
above).
To remedy this conflict, staff believes that an amendment to the existing code is
appropriate. As noted, the applicant has suggested that the fence height be increased to 6
feet, 6 inches, and thus the following amendments are proposed, with the changes shown
in redline:
(C) Fence size. All fence and wall heights shall be measured from the finished
grade, except that the height of a railing, wall, fence, or screening affixed to a
deck constructed on the ground but raised above ground level, will be measured
from the elevation of the raised deck for that portion which is affixed to the raised
deck. The grade at the fence line shall not be altered in any way that artificially
increases the maximum permitted height of the fence. Required fence height shall
be measured and applied only at each post, and no section of fence between
posts shall exceed the height of the higher of the two posts between which such
fence is constructed.
(1) Residential Uses.
a. Front Yards. No fence, fence post, or post cap, shall be over four (4)
feet fifty-two (52) inches in height within a required front yard setback.
b. Side Yards. No fence, fence post, or post cap, shall be over six feet six
inches (6’-6”) in height. A fence up to over six feet six inches (6’-6”)in
height shall be allowed on corner lots along the corner side behind the
nearest front corner of the principal building.
c. Rear Yards. No fence, fence post, or post cap, shall be over six feet six
inches (6’-6”) feet in height.
The applicant notes in his application materials that other nearby communities have
amended their fence regulations to make this change, or something similar. These include
Columbia Heights, New Brighton, Fridley, and Roseville. It is planning staff’s experience that
many other communities have adopted similar changes.
On a separate track, there are related amendments that would be relevant to other
portions of the fence code, including permitting, and the application of fence height in
commercial and industrial areas. Those amendments are expected to accompany other
general code updates being proposed by the Code Review Committee.

STAFF/PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION AND FINDINGS OF FACT
Application 1. Staff recommends dismissal of an amendment to the fence regulations as
identified in this report based on adoption of Ordinance No. 2022-07 incorporating the
proposed amendment with other fence language.
If the Council wishes to act separately, adoption of Ordinance 2022-06 could proceed based on
the following findings:
A.The current fence regulations related to height are inconsistent with the regulations of
the Building Code.
B.The current fence permitting practices are not consistent with the procedures required
by the code
C.The current height regulations for residential fences do not comport with common
construction practices, nor account for inconsistencies in grade or terrain.
D.The amendment would be consistent with current practice, with the language of the
Building Code, and the practices of many other nearby communities.

MEMORANDUM
To:Saint Anthony Village City Council
From:Nicole Miller, Assistant to the City Manager
Date:October 11, 2022 City Council Meeting
Request:Approval of Resolution 22-073 Authorizing final contract negotiations with Aspen Waste
Services Inc. for Solid Waste and Recycling Services
BACKGROUND
Our current organized collection contract for solid waste and recycling ends April 1, 2023. Staff has engaged in
discussion with the Council on desires for the next solid waste and recycling contract.
Through discussions with the Council, and guidance from Foth Infrastructure & Environment, LLC, the below
items were identified to be included/revised from the previous RFP:
Seek proposals from a single hauler to service the whole City
Curbside organics collection
Weekly recycling collection
In addition to the above listed updates, the following items have also been included:
Inclusion of collection of waste and recycling for all City facilities
Inclusion of hauler-staffed Spring Clean-Up Event
Separation of refuse collection and disposal prices for increased transparency
PROPOSAL EVALUATION
The City received two proposals for our next solid waste and recycling contract. Those proposals were from
Walters Recycling & Refuse and Aspen Waste Systems, Inc.
City staff assembled a Proposal Review Committee, comprised of our City Manager, Assistant to the City
Manager, Public Works Director, Finance Director, and Ramsey County Environmental Health Specialist.
The committee reviewed the proposals as submitted and evaluated the following areas:
Disruption of service
Experience and Capacity
Thoroughness and Responsiveness to RFP
References
Foth provided financial analysis and comparisons to the group on for both proposals.
The committee formulated follow up questions for both haulers prior to in person interviews. These additional
questions as well as the in person interview allowed the committee to dive deeper into conversation with the
haulers on items such as; customer service, organics and pricing.
Customer service:
The review committee discussed the importance of providing a high level of service for all of our residents. Some
of the specific items that were discussed were: plan for rolling out new hauler, cart size selection for residents,
communicating customer set out incidents (blocked cart, unacceptable materials, etc.), and communications
specific for St. Anthony residents.
Both proposals received demonstrated the shared vision for providing a high level of service to our residents. In
addition, during the interviews both haulers appeared to be willing to work as a team with city staff to ensure a
high level of communications and service levels for our residents.
Curbside organics:
Through conversations with both haulers along with Ramsey and Hennepin counties, there are still unknowns as
to how a curbside organics program for St. Anthony would work given the different states of readiness in each
County. For example, currently Ramsey County’s food scraps durable compostable bag pilot program is
anticipated to start sometime in 2023. And currently Hennepin County’s curbside organics program is a separate
cart for organics only, that is picked up by a separate truck and brought to an industrial compost site.
The haulers also discussed the challenges of an opt-in option for residents tends to realize low usage, and an
opt-out option with everyone paying for the service but the option to opt-out of receiving the service approach,
tends to be more cost efficient for both the haulers and the residents overall.
The review committee recommends having a reopener clause for curbside organics in the future in the contract.
This reopener clause would allow the city and hauler to reopen the contract to only discuss cost of curbside
organics and program details when the time comes.
Weekly Recycling:
Both proposals included every other week recycling prices as well as alternate every week recycling price.
The haulers discussed the logistics for conducting every week recycling and the low return on investment for the
city/residents due to additional cost for the subscriber and wear on roads having additional truck on the streets
every week vs. every other week. Both haulers are open to working with the city if this is a desire in the future.
The review committee recommends having a reopener clause for adding every week recycling in the contract if
trends and demand for weekly recycling service shift within the term of the contract.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the resolution authorizing final contract negotiations with Aspen Waste Services Inc. for Solid Waste
and Recycling Services.

each proposer and written responses prepared by the proposer were received by August 29,
2022. Individual interviews were then conducted with each proposer on August 30, 2022.
Foth calculated the estimated five-year total costs over the life of the contract based on
proposed prices from the two respondents and assumptions in the RFP. Foth also calculated
the estimated five-year total costs of the “current contract” prices with the existing group of
three haulers. The same assumptions were used for annual inflation adjustments.
Table 1 is a summary comparison of the total cost of services over the five-year contract period
of the contract. These costs do not include taxes and environmental fees.
