2 Mayor Stille reviewed the public hearing process and opened the public hearing at 7:03 p.m.
3
4 City Manager Yunker reviewed this is a resolution to approve an On-Sale Intoxicating Liquor
5 License for The Dive Sports Bar and Grill at 3701 Stinson Blvd. The City limits number of on-
6 sale intoxicating liquor licenses, at any 1 time there shall not be more than 4 on-sale intoxicating
7 liquor licenses issued by the City. Currently we have 2 establishments with this type of liquor
8 license.
9
10 The applicant, Andy Bowman, appeared before the Council. He noted there is a Facebook page
11 for the Dive Bar. The food will be elevated dive bar food. They want to be involved in the
12 community and continue to find ways to give back. He wants to change the culture of the space.
13
14 Councilmember Walker asked in what way would it be different from the Unofficial. Mr.
15 Bowman stated there was a lot of fighting and heavy drinking. He wants the clientele to have a
16 good time and be safe. The employees were not treated well. Mr. Bowman wants to make sure
17 all bills are paid and maintenance is done. He is a very present owner.
18
19 Mayor Stille closed the public hearing at 7:07 p.m.
20
21 Motion by Councilmember Webster, seconded by Councilmember Walker, to approve
22 Resolution 23-026 – Approval of Intoxicating Liquor License for The Dive Sports Bar and Grill
23 located at 3701 Stinson Blvd.
24
25 Motion carried 5-0.
26
B.27 Land Use Application to Vacate – 2550 Hwy 88.
28
29 Mayor Stille opened the public hearing at 7:08 p.m.
30
31 City Planner Grittman reviewed the applicants are seeking vacation of an Easement Agreement
32 originally held by the HRA, but since assigned to the City of St. Anthony Village. He indicated
33 the location on a map. The cross-hatched area subject to vacation request. The yellow highlight
34 area requested by Engineering to be retained for existing drainage and utility needs. The
35 easement encumbers the northwest area of the Hannays’ commercial property at 2550 Highway
36 88. The easement was granted in 1999, with the purpose of facilitating the creation of an open
37 space and other public improvements as a part of a larger redevelopment plan. Those plans have
38 not resulted in a project to date. The applicants are hoping to have that easement released, with
39 the intention that they enclose the space with screening fence and utilize it for temporary boat
40 storage and staging for vessels they have in for service.
41
42 There are a number of issues raised by the request. First is the entitlement issue related to the
43 easement itself; second is the existence of other utilities and utility easements overlapping a
44 portion of the same area; and third, a land use issue related to the use of the property once and if
45 the easement is removed.
46
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
April 25, 2023
Page 3
1 Staff has reviewed the project for land use compliance with the intent and policies of the City’s
2 Comprehensive Plan, and for zoning consistency with the “C” Commercial District as a baseline.
3 For public easement vacations, no Planning Commission hearing is required. In summary, the
4 Comprehensive Plan promotes use of the subject properties that reflect the proposed commercial
5 uses in the area. The proposed easement vacation would facilitate that purpose for the subject
6 property. There are conditions that complicate the question, including long-term public use of the
7 area, reservation of drainage and utility easements, and further land use processing depending on
8 the applicant’s proposed use of the area in question.
9
10 The conditions provided by Staff are:
1.11 Describe and retain drainage and utility easements as required by the City Engineer.
2.12 City Council finds that there is no further need for the easement as envisioned for public use
13 or open space.
3.14 Any further land use processing is addressed separately, and not implied or approved as a
15 part of the vacation.
16
17 City Planner Grittman stated if the Council believes that the vacation is appropriate, with the
18 staff conditions and/or other requirements, staff is asking the Council to table final action and
19 direct staff to prepare a resolution, along with the required descriptions for the drainage and
20 utility easements as recommended by the City Engineer. Formal action, along with the
21 descriptions and resolution would come to the Council at an upcoming meeting.
22
23 Councilmember Jenson asked Mr. Grittman to show the map again. He asked if the yellow and
24 cross-hatched easement areas are owned by the City. Mr. Grittman stated those easements are
25 owned by the City. Councilmember Jenson asked what area the applicant is wanting to put a
26 fence around. Mr. Grittman stated it would be the rear yard area behind the building.
27
28 Mayor Stille asked to the west what does the easement border. Mr. Grittman stated the Autumn
29 Woods residential area. It also borders The Walker.
30
31 Councilmember Randle asked what the distance is between the easement and The Walker and
32 Autumn Woods. Mr. Grittman stated the distance is the property line and he would estimate that
33 to be 30 – 50 feet.
34
35 Councilmember Webster asked if there is another recent easement request. Mr. Grittman stated
36 he cannot think of another easement request such as this that has been requested. There may have
37 been some easements in the Urban Grove property.
38
39 Councilmember Walker asked if the purpose of the easement is for the possibility of future
40 development. Mr. Grittman stated if the vacation is granted that would be a finding that Council
41 would be making and there was no longer a need for redevelopment plans in the future.
42
43 Councilmember Jenson asked how close the easement is to the Walker building. Would this
44 impact their ability to park their cars. Mr. Grittman stated this is only for the Hannays’ property.
45 This would be approximately 30 feet from the building. Councilmember Jenson asked who owns

1 the land and Mr. Grittman stated the Hannays Group. They are requesting to put fencing on their
2 property.
3
4 Mayor Stille stated he looked at City Council Meeting Minutes from 1999. The City paid
5 $135,000 for a 24sf easement for the Hitching Post and an 84sf easement near the Dairy Queen.
6 The City paid money for the easements in 1999.
7
8 Councilmember Webster asked what the benefit is to St. Anthony for vacating the easement. Mr.
9 Grittman stated that is the decision point for the Council. If there is no longer a need to preserve
10 this or have a property interest to return it to the property owners.
11
12 Mr. Nathan Brandenberg, attorney for the applicant, appeared before the Council. He stated Mr.
13 Grittman’s presentation did a good job of outlining the situation. The applicant is fine with
14 tabling this. The utility easements are not being requested to be released. At the time the property
15 was purchased by Hannays there was a possible plan to develop a park on the site. At this time
16 there is no plan for a park. This is what has brought the request forward. The parking lot is in
17 need of resurface and lighting. The applicant does not want to pay for these improvements only
18 to find the easement will not be vacated.
19
20 Mayor Stille closed the public hearing at 7:32 p.m.
21
22 Councilmember Randle questioned what this would be preserved for. The property has been
23 empty for 8-10 years.
24
25 Mayor Stille stated Council was advised by ULI to preserve the corridor. The easement gives the
26 City some leverage to help facilitate some redevelopment at some point.
27
28 Councilmember Jenson stated the $135,000 paid for the easements, would the City request those
29 funds come back to the City. Mayor Stille stated the decision is do we want to have additional
30 leverage to develop the site in the future.
31
32 Councilmember Webster there are so few places that are open spaces for new housing. The
33 southern gateway would be a possible site for that. She does not see a benefit to the City to
34 vacate the easement at this time.
35
36 Councilmember Walker stated he concurs.
37
38 Mayor Stille stated he would not want to give this leverage up especially since it was paid for.
39 There was a consensus of 4 Councilmembers.
40
41 Motion by Councilmember Webster, seconded by Councilmember Walker, to table consideration
42 of the Land Use Application to Vacate – 2550 Hwy 88 and direct Staff to come back to Council
43 with a Resolution for consideration.
44
45 Motion carried 4-1 (Randle).

MEMORANDUM
To:Mayor Stille and St. Anthony Village City Council
From:Stephen Grittman, City Planner
Date:City Council Meeting – May 9, 2023
NAC Project No.323.01 – 23.03
Request:Request for a Vacation of an Easement in the “C”, Commercial District
Property Address:2550 Highway 88
Property PID:07-029-23-24-0358
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Applicants are seeking vacation of an Easement Agreement originally held by the HRA, but
since assigned to the City of St. Anthony Village. The easement encumbers the northwest area
of the Hannay’s commercial property at the above address. Easement vacations are considered
as a part of a public hearing held by the City Council.
Per the applicant’s materials, the easement was purchased by the City in 1999 from the prior
owner, with the purpose of facilitating the creation of an open space and other public
improvements as a part of a larger redevelopment plan. Those plans have not resulted in a
project to date. The applicants are hoping to have that easement released, with the intention
that they enclose the space with screening fence and utilize it for temporary boat storage and
staging for vessels they have in for service.
At its April 25th meeting, the City Council held a public hearing on the proposed easement
vacation, and discussed the history, current conditions, and future prospects for the site in
question. The Council voted 4-1 to direct staff to prepare a resolution denying the vacation,
based on number of factors, including findings that the easement was purchased, rather than
given to the City; that the easement could still be integral in promoting its original purpose,
which include facilitating redevelopment and preservation a public open space or access to the
area; and that losing access to the easement area at this time could preclude the objectives
raised by the City’s long-term plans, even if those plans may change when full implemented.
The vote in opposition to the motion was based in support of the idea that enough time had
passed to believe that the easement was no longer necessary, and favored returning the use of
the property to the private owner.

COUNCIL ACTION
Staff has prepared the requested resolution, attached to this memorandum for Council review

RESOLUTION 23-029
A RESOLUTION DENYING A REQUEST FOR A VACATION OF AN EASEMENT
AND EASEMENT AGREEMENT IN THE C, COMMERCIAL DISTRICT
PID: 07-029-23-24-0358
PROPERTY ADDRESS: 2550 HIGHWAY 8
WHEREAS, the City of St. Anthony Village received a request from the property owner to
vacate an existing easement held by the City of St. Anthony Village over a portion of the subject
property; and
WHEREAS, the property consists of approximately 2.1 acres, of which approximately 0.5 acres
is covered by the easement in question; and
WHEREAS, the subject easement was acquired by the City’s HRA in 1999 as a part of a
purchase, subsequently transferred to the City; and
WHEREAS, the purposes of the easement was for the preservation and establishment of open
space, and to facilitate a redevelopment plan, in an area of primarily commercial uses; and
WHEREAS, the easement grants the City of St. Anthony Village an ownership interest in the
property in an effort to ensure that the public purposes are eventually realized; and
WHEREAS, release and vacation of the easement would interfere with the public’s
redevelopment and open space objectives for the area; and
WHEREAS, the release and vacation of the easement would raise the likelihood of private uses
that would be inconsistent with the public’s redevelopment and open space interests; and
WHEREAS, the City Council makes the following findings of fact in support of the resolution
for approval:
1.The easement in question was acquired for a fair-market value purchase price at the time
of acquisition.
2.The objective for acquiring the easement, although not yet achieved, continues to be a
valid public purpose and is a key component of realizing the long-term land use
objectives for the area.
3.While the plan for redevelopment is not specifically defined, preservation of the public
access and use of the area are important factors in the planning for the subject property.
4.The current business located on the property acquired the parcel with the easement in
place, and with knowledge – actual or constructive – of the long term public ownership
interests in the property.
5.With the other findings, the City Council finds that release and vacation of the easement
would not be in the public interest.
NOW THEREFORE MAY IT BE RESOVLED, that the City Council of the
City of St. Anthony Village adopts the findings herein, and denies the request to release and
vacate the subject easement located on a portion of the property at 2550 Highway 8.
Passed in regular session of the City Council on the 9th day of May, 2023.

MEMORANDUM
To:Saint Anthony Village City Council
From:Charlie Yunker, City Manager
Date:May 9, 2023 City Council Meeting
Request:Approval of Resolution 23-030 Approving Contract with the City Planner
BACKGROUND
For the past 5 years, Steve Grittman has served as the contract City Planner for the City of Saint
Anthony Village, through a contractual relationship with Northwest Associated Consultants, Inc.
(NAC). NAC is re-ordering it’s work and company arrangements, to become effective on June 1,
2023. NAC will continue as a company handling the majority of the company’s current clients,
but under new ownership.
Mr. Grittman will be transferring his ownership share to a senior staff member with the
exception that he will retain the contracts of four current clients, one of which is Saint Anthony
Village. The others being Monticello, and Buffalo, and for the current time, Montrose.
This change will allow for relinquishing some of the other client and supervisory responsibilities,
a significant amount of company administration, allow him to be responsive to his retained
clients, and shed some of the current overhead, which allows for cost efficiencies that can be
passed on to the City.
“I have served the City of St. Anthony for more than 5 years now. It has been a privilege and a
centerpiece of what I have enjoyed about planning and zoning work. St. Anthony has permitted
me to share a wide range of my experiences, and also challenged me to continue learning and
growing in my professional life. Mostly, I enjoy working with the staff and the public officials,
and am proud to be part of the team.” Steve Grittman, City Planner.
PROPOSAL
The attached contract serves as Mr. Grittman’s proposal to retain Saint Anthony as a client.
Essentially, it creates 3 categories of work:
1.City-initiated routine/daily work, research, and correspondence as part of a retainer;
2.Privately-initiated work assignable to development applications and escrows;
3.Non-retainer City work, which would be jointly budgeted due to the uniqueness and
scope of each project.
March 14, 2023
Page 2
For the work under the retainer, items such as meetings, routine City correspondence and
ordinance/planning work that is generated and initiated by the City itself (as currently done
with NAC), would be covered for all related City-initiated costs. The proposed retainer level in
the attached contract draft is set to reflect the pattern of the last few years of City-initiated
invoicing. Looking back to see NAC’s City-initiated invoices to the City, they have averaged
slightly more than the proposed amount on an annual basis.
The second category is the work that is generated/initiated by private property
owners/developers, etc. who usually (perhaps not always) will have established an escrow for
their inquiries and applications with the City. Mr. Grittman would continue to invoice for this
work on a detailed basis so the City could assign his costs to the applicant’s escrow account.
The third category is a separately budgeted set of City projects, but outside of the routine
correspondence, research, and inquiries. These would be projects that the City may ask him to
work on under either an hourly or fixed-fee amount. These are relatively rare, usually larger
projects, and would be negotiated as they come up.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval, as Mr. Grittman has served the City very well to date, and little
would change from the form and substance in service to the City.
To effect this change, the City would cancel the agreement with NAC as of May 31, 2023, and
approve a new contract with Grittman Consulting, LLC effective as of June 1, 2023.
