A. Resolution 25-026 – Approving a Request for a Conditional Use Permit for An Electric 14
Dynamic Display Sign at 2708 33rd Avenue NE in the R-1 Single Family Residential 15
Zoning District. 16
17
City Planner Steve Grittman reviewed the City Council is asked to consider Resolution No. 25-18
026 approving a Conditional Use Permit for a digital (electronic) display sign for the Faith 19
United Methodist Church, replacing the existing ground sign reader board, based on findings as 20
noted in the resolution and with conditions that the sign will continue to meet all required 21
operational standards and any other applicable City Code requirements. 22
23
The applicant is proposing to upgrade an existing ground sign for message displays located at 24
2708 33rd Avenue NE. The ground sign would be located along the north side of the building, 25
adjacent to 33rd Avenue in the location of the current sign. Because a portion of the sign is 26
proposed to include an electronic digital display, the sign requires a Conditional Use Permit 27
pursuant to Section 157.24 of the City’s Sign Ordinance. 28
29
The Planning Commission reviewed the request at a public hearing on March 18, 2025. 30
Comments were received from two neighbors of the church via email and phone, one of whom 31
attended the hearing. Objections were made primarily over concerns related to current conditions 32
and traffic, and concern that the sign may have the potential to shine into nearby homes. Based 33
on a review of the proposed sign and the applicable regulations, the Planning Commission 34
adopted the findings in the staff report and recommends approval of the CUP request, with 35
conditions related to compliance with code requirements applicable to dynamic display signs. 36
37
Mr. Grittman noted the proposed sign, to remain in compliance with the terms of the CUP and 38
City Code will be required to have monochrome text only on a dark background, and the City 39
Code also requires that such signs be dimmed at night to minimize glare. While this aspect was 40
not explicitly written into the original conditions of approval, it has been added for further 41
clarity. 42
43
The Planning Commission and Staff recommend approval of the requested Conditional Use 44
Permit for an electronic dynamic display sign at 2708 33rd Avenue NE with the following 45
condition: 46

1. Compliance with the operational standards of the code in Section 155.29, notably the 2
requirements for monochromatic lettering against a solid black background, and 3
dimming of the display during night hours, as well as other applicable code 4
requirements. 5
6
Also provided for Council review were Exhibit A: Application and Supporting Material and 7
Exhibit B: City Council Resolution. 8
9
Councilmember Jenson asked if the requirements are the same as the other churches that have 10
put up dynamic signs, and Mr. Grittman stated they are the same. Councilmember Jenson stated 11
he has no problem with this request. 12
13
Mayor Webster noted this request is in line for what is in City Code. 14
15
Councilmember Doolan stated she watched the Planning Commission meeting and Mr. Grittman 16
did a good job explaining the different lighting on the sign. 17
18
Motion by Councilmember Elnagdy, seconded by Councilmember Jenson, to approve Resolution 19

14
Sustainability Coordinator Minette Saulog reviewed the Energy Action Plan, developed through 15
our participation in Xcel Energy’s Partners in Energy program, was introduced at the March 25, 16
2025, City Council Work Session. Partners in Energy staff and City Staff have taken Council’s 17
comments and feedback from that meeting to make a few adjustments and deliver a final draft. 18
19
An 18-month implementation period will begin after the plan is adopted. During this time, 20
Partners in Energy will directly support our City’s efforts to make progress on the strategies in 21
the plan. The Memorandum of Understanding outlining how the City and Partners in Energy 22
will collaborate on implementation efforts was provided for Council review. 23
24
Staff recommends the City Council adopt the Energy Action Plan and requests authorization for 25
the City Manager to sign the Memorandum of Understanding to continue the implementation 26
work with Partners in Energy. 27

Ms. Saulog reviewed a Power Point presentation titled Energy Action Plan which included the 29
Purpose, Timeline, Energy Action Plan Vision and Goal, Focus Areas – Energy Efficiency, 30

Councilmember Doolan thanked Ms. Saulog for her work on this, and it is an outstanding plan. 1
She noted the energy efficiency goal is 75%, which is much higher than the electrification goal. 2
Councilmember Dolan asked about the renewable energy goal. Community Facilitator, Megan 3
Weck, stated the goal is 12 subscriptions a year. Councilmember Doolan appreciates the 4
community opportunities. She asked if a church is interested in doing an energy audit, how do 5
they get started. Ms. Sofia Troutman from Xcel suggested they check out the nonprofit energy 6
savings program. Councilmember Doolan asked if someone buys an electric vehicle or does an 7
electrification, are they automatically eligible for cost savings. She asked if this program will 8
help people get the most from rebates. Ms. Saulog stated that electrification is more about 9
changing from natural gas to electricity rather than vehicles. They can include information on 10
electric vehicles. Ms. Troutman stated that sometimes the contractor may take off the rebate from 11
their cost or they may apply for the rebate for the purchaser. 12
13
Mayor Webster commented that she appreciates the strategy of the Home Energy Squad and 14
appreciates the fee is reduced based on a family’s income. 15

Liability Coverage Waiver Form Page 1
LIABILITY COVERAGE WAIVER FORM
The decision to waive or not waive the statutory tort limits must be made annually by the
member’s governing body, in consultation with its attorney if necessary.
Members who obtain liability coverage from LMCIT must decide whether to waive the statutory
tort liability limits to the extent of the coverage purchased. The decision has the following effects:
•If the member does not waive the statutory tort limits, an individual claimant could recover no more
than $500,000 on any claim to which the statutory tort limits apply. The total all claimants could
recover for a single occurrence to which the statutory tort limits apply would be limited to
$1,500,000. These statutory tort limits would apply regardless of whether the member purchases the
optional LMCIT excess liability coverage.
•If the member waives the statutory tort limits and does not purchase excess liability coverage, a
single claimant could recover up to $2,000,000 for a single occurrence (under the waive option, the
tort cap liability limits are only waived to the extent of the member’s liability coverage limits, and
the LMCIT per occurrence limit is $2,000,000). The total all claimants could recover for a single
occurrence to which the statutory tort limits apply would also be limited to $2,000,000, regardless
of the number of claimants.
•If the member waives the statutory tort limits and purchases excess liability coverage, a single
claimant could potentially recover an amount up to the limit of the coverage purchased. The total all
claimants could recover for a single occurrence to which the statutory tort limits apply would also
be limited to the amount of coverage purchased, regardless of the number of claimants.
Claims to which the statutory municipal tort limits do not apply are not affected by this decision.

MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor Webster and St. Anthony Village City Council
Charlie Yunker, City Manager
From: Stephen Grittman, City Planner
Date: City Council Meeting – April 22, 2025
GC Project No. 140.00
Request: General Code Amendments
Property Address: 2412 27th Avenue NE
Property PID: 07-029-23-23-0028
DISCUSSION AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff has received an inquiry from the applicant on April 1, 2025 requesting a permit to keep six female
chickens at their residential property at the above address. The property is zoned R-1, Single Family
Residential, and is surrounded by single family residential to the east and west, the St. Charles church to
the north across 27th Avenue NE, and the
Haven Grove senior housing facility to the
south of the intervening alley.
The applicant has provided a diagram of
the property showing the location and
dimensions of the chicken coop. The
location is just north of the parking pad,
between the owner’s and neighbor’s
garages along the alley. The chicken coop
structure is approximately 30 square feet
in area, with an open fenced “run” of 12
feet by 8 feet, extending west from the
coop. The application identifies the height
of the coop at about 9 feet in height.
For accessory buildings, a setback
requirement from adjoining side lot lines is
5 feet. The applicant should verify this
setback as a part of their approval.

April 22, 2025
Page 2
The chicken coop is constructed of wood and will be painted. According to the City’s accessory building
requirements, accessory buildings are required to be consistent with the exterior of the house currently
on the property, including color. The applicant should plan to paint the coop similar to that of the
principal residence. The run is to be constructed of treated lumber, with a hardware cloth (wire mesh)
enclosure material to minimize access from predators.
As noted, the applicant is requesting approval for six female chickens (hens). The City’s requirements
will typically specify that the chickens must all be hens, no male roosters permitted on the property to
avoid noise concerns. The application indicates compliance with this condition.
CITY CODE RELATED TO REQUEST
General Regulations Animals, Section § 91.56 KEEPING OF CERTAIN ANIMALS states:
“(A) General prohibition. Except as allowed for bees in division (B) of this section, no
person may keep farm animals or wild animals as defined in this code, nor more than
two dogs or three dogs allowed under §§ 91.01 through 91.03, 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.”
Section § 154.175 ACCESSORY BUILDINGS: (A)(1)(f) All accessory buildings constructed
after the construction of the principal building must be designed and constructed in a
manner consistent with the design and general appearance of the principal building.
Accessory buildings constructed of canvas, plastic, fabric, or other similar non-
permanent materials shall be prohibited, with the exception of temporary structures
regulated by § 154.190.
REQUESTED ACTION
Staff has reviewed the request, and recommends approval of the application as submitted.
1. Motion to adopt a resolution approving the request to keep six female chickens on the
property located at 2412 27th Avenue NE. This approval is subject to the following conditions:
A. The applicant shall verify that the facility is no closer than five (5) feet to the neighboring
property line.
B. The applicant shall paint the coop structure to a color consistent with that of the principal
residence.
A resolution reflecting approval is attached to this staff report.
ALTERNATIVE COUNCIL ACTION
2. Motion to deny the request for chickens at 2412 27th Ave. NE, 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

Dear City Council,
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to request the City Council’s approval to
house chickens in our backyard. We plan to have 6 hens. The structure will be constructed
of wood and the run will be enclosed by wood and poultry wire fencing. We will store the
chicken feed in our garage. The chicken coop and run will be located inside an already
existing privacy fence.
Thank you for considering our request. We look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,

MEMORANDUM
To:Mayor Webster and St. Anthony Village City Council
Charlie Yunker, City Manager
From:Stephen Grittman, City Planner
Date:City Council Meeting – April 22, 2025
GC Project No.140.00
Request:General Code Amendments
Property Address:NA
Property PID:NA
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The attached ordinance presents the third and final reading of a series of proposed code
amendments for consideration and discussion. This version continues to show redlining to
identify the changes from current code, with yellow highlighting to identify updates made for
prior versions, and gray highlighting for changes since the Council’s first reading on this
ordinance on March 25, 2025. Only the first section relating to Fees (and the ability of a
permittee to request an extension) required amendment per the comments made at the first
reading. The code sections are again summarized briefly below to assist in the Council’s
discussion and review, and notations are made reflecting the comments from the prior reviews.
Also attached is a “clean” version of the ordinance presenting the final expected version,
without past references or redlining.
PRIOR ACTION
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on items specifically related to zoning actions.
The Commission passed many of these on for eventual adoption by the City Council, which staff
has prepared as a package with both zoning and general code items.
On March 25, 2025, the City Council held its first reading of this ordinance, following a March
11, 2025 worksession. The City Council held a second reading of the ordinance on April 8, 2025.
PROPOSED ORDINANCE SECTIONS
Section 1. This language incorporates a penalty fee clause for property owners who proceed to
do work without the requisite zoning or other applicable permits. The Building Code (separate
from the City Code) imposes a double-fee for those who undertake a construction project
67
April 22, 2025
Page 2
without the required Building Permit. This clause enables the City to set an appropriate penalty
fee as a part of the City’s fee schedule, which is typically adopted and updated on an annual
basis.
(Section was clarified to note the ability of applicants to seek an extension of time to
perform on an approved permit or license. There are some permits that require
additional fees, so the language is written to account for those circumstances.)
Section 2. Resets the “Retaining Wall” Definition in the fence section, changing it from “Wall,
Retaining”, for simple clarity and to track with how the term is used in the Code. The text of
the definition does not change, with the exception that a clause is added to clarify that
retaining walls must meet the requirements of other fences, consistent with current practice.
(NO CHANGES)
Section 3. This change updates the City’s recently adopted natural landscape language (from
2023) to be consistent with the even more recently adopted State statutory language from
2024.
(ADDED BACK LANGUAGE TO AVOID THE USE OF PESTICIDES)
Section 4. This change also relates to the natural landscapes language, removing the current
prohibition from planting such landscapes in the right of way, as the City has sponsored these
types of alternative gardens, and modifying the maximum height of such materials, increasing it
from 12 to 18 inches, also consistent with the 2024 state statutory language for managed
natural landscapes.
(ADDED LANGUAGE ESTABLISHING ANY EXISTING GARDENS NOT IN COMPLIANCE AS
LEGAL NONCONFORMITIES).
Section 5. This change deletes reference to the City’s Health Officer, which is not a designated
office in the city.
(INSERTED COMMA TO DISTINGUISH REQUIREMENTS FOR THREE DOGS)
Section 6. This change deletes reference to the City’s Health Officer, which is not a designated
office in the city.
(STRUCK “OF THE CITY” AS SUPERFLUOUS LANGUAGE).
Sections 7. and 8. This is a component of the Housing Maintenance chapter of the code. Prior
language dealing with Temporary Storage deleted a section that could have been interpreted to
accommodate moving container or “Pods” use, whereas the original intent was to prohibit the
use of storage and shipping containers and long-term storage structures (usually in commercial
or industrial areas). This section redefines for temporary storage specific to residential uses,
then limits size to 128 square feet, whereas industrial shipping containers are usually a
minimum of 320 square feet.
(NO CHANGES)
68
April 22, 2025
Page 3
Sections 9 and 10. This section addresses transient merchants and peddlers. The City Code has
a number of licensing and procedural requirements for such merchants, but notes also that any
such merchant is required to hold a county license. In researching this process, it was noted
that both Hennepin and Ramsey County have extensive licensing requirements for transient
merchants and peddlers. Staff proposes deletion of this City licensing/regulatory requirement
to eliminate overlap and clarify regulatory responsibilities. One existing short section is
retained, specifying that the intent of the [County] licensing may not be to limit anyone’s
legitimate exercise of Constitutional rights, including free speech, expression, press, religion,
etc.
(ADDED A TIMEFRAME FOR SOLICITORS OF 7:00am – 9:00pm, which is consistent with
current SAV Code language. Roseville uses this same time limit. New Brighton does not
appear to have a limit. Columbia Hts. uses 9:00am – 9:00pm, M-Sat, Noon – 6:00pm
Sunday) (Per discussion at the 3/25/25 Council meeting, no change was made to these
hours).
Sections 11. and 12. Adoption/Admin language. There are several sections of the code dealing
with enforcement, and that refer to the Code “Enforcement” Official. This language will be
replaced with the revised title Code “Compliance” Official.
Secondly, the current zoning language has a number of sections that refer to “permitted”
activities. Many of these are more accurately rendered as “allowed” activities. Because a
“Permitted Use” is a term of art that refers specifically to uses that DO NOT require further
permitting, the text is being updated to inclusively refer to “allowed” uses, which may be
permitted, licensed, conditional, or require some other process.
(NO CHANGES)
Section 13. Recreational Fires. This section makes changes to recreational burning in the
following ways, in response to Fire Department recommendations and recent experiences with
recreational fires in the community:
Adds a restriction for fire size that reduces allowable height for portable
fireplaces, reducing the allowance for 3 feet (for ground-level fires) to 2 feet.
Specifies that manufactured materials (such as treated wood, plastic, etc. is not
to burned in a recreational fire.
Adds clarification to the 25 foot setback for recreational fires.
Adds a requirement to extinguish the fire if it is not in compliance with the code;
and
Replaces statutory references with a general requirement for compliance (due to
constantly changing statutes, rules, and other regulations).
(DELETED DUPLICATE SUBPARAGRAPH)
Section 14. Nuisance Noise. This section modifies the recently adopted language to set a noise
decibel level at the property line, rather than a distance measurement. While the distance
measurement is arguably easier to measure, it is subjective, in that it depends on the subjective
impression of the listener. The revised language is a numeric measurement by a decibel meter.
69
April 22, 2025
Page 4
This is a verifiable standard, and while not perfect, there are a variety of smartphone apps that
provide an easy method of approximating decibel measurements to aid in ensuring compliance.
(NO CHANGES)
Section 15. Dangerous Dogs. This section is proposed to be updated to add definitions for
various terms used in the text of the existing code (and makes one statutory reference update).
The definitions are for “Dangerous Dog”, “Potentially Dangerous Dog”, “Proper Enclosure”, and
“Substantial Bodily Harm”. These definitions are drawn largely from statute, and/or from
representative ordinances in nearby communities.
(NO CHANGES)
Section 16. Temporary “For Rent” Signs on Rental Property. This update adds a category of
temporary sign to allow residential property owners to display a notice during times when they
are actively attempting to rent a dwelling unit. The ordinance language is written to specify
that the sign may be displayed during those times. However, we are not permitted to require
that such signs only advertise the rental. This would be a content-based regulation, which we
cannot require. Instead, we rely on the likelihood that most landlords will use this opportunity
to provide notice of the vacant dwelling, rather than for other speech.
(NO CHANGES)
SUMMARY/COUNCIL ACTION
The revisions are intended to reflect City Council discussion and direction on this group of Code
Updates. If they are acceptable, or with any additional direction, staff requests:
City Council approval of the Third Reading of Ordinance No. 2025 – 02.

MEMORANDUM
TO:Mayor and City Council
City of St. Anthony Village
CC:Charlie Yunker, City Manager
FROM:Jay Lindgren, City Attorney
Frannie LaBudda
DATE:22 April 2025
RE:Summary of Nuisance Abatement Process
At its [_],2025 Regular Meeting,the Council will discuss the nuisance conditions present at
3004 31st Avenue and 3208 Skycroft Drive as well as options for abatement.This
Memorandum provides a summary of the abatement processes under the City Code and
Minnesota Statutes,including the process for obtaining a court order for abatement of the
nuisance.In general,the City must be careful to provide the homeowner with sufficient notice
and an opportunity to be heard before moving forward with abatement measures.
I.City Ordinance Abatement Process
Chapter 92 of the City Code defines various types of public nuisances,including the outside
parking of any vehicle without a current state registration (§154.179(A)(4)),the parking of
inoperable motor vehicles in view of a public street or alley,including those that furnish a
shelter and breeding place for vermin (§92.03(L)-(N)),the outside or vehicle storage of
common household and business materials (§92.06(A-B)),and poorly maintained buildings,
fences,and other structures (§92.07(A)-(B)).The process for mandatory abatement of the
nuisance proceeds as follows:
1.A peace officer or other designated person serves a written notice on the property
owner which describes the violation and orders that the nuisance be abated,with
specified steps that must be taken and a timeframe for doing so.City Code §
92.09(A)(1), (B).
2.If the initial order is not complied with,the officer or designated person reports this fact
to the City Council. City Code § 92.09(B).
3.The property owner must then be served with a written notice of the City Council’s
consideration of the nuisance order. City Code § 92.09(B).
4.Following a hearing at which the property owner is given the opportunity to be heard,
the Council may determine that the condition is a nuisance violation and order that it
be abated within a specific time period.City Code §92.09(B).The city must provide
the property owner with written notice of the City Council’s order and notice of motion
for summary enforcement or obtain an administrative search and seizure warrant and
abate the nuisance. City Code § 92.09(B).
5.If the property owner fails to comply with the City Council’s order within the specified
timeframe, the City may seek injunctive relief in court (see below).
87
2
4924-1210-7044\2
II.State Statute Abatement Process
Minnesota Statutes Chapter 617 provides a process by which a city can seek a court order for
abatement of a nuisance condition.In order to obtain a court order under this section,the
process set forth in the state statute must be followed.Minn.Stat.§617.81,subd.1.
Additionally,in order to seek a court order under this provision there must be proof of two or
more separate nuisance incidents in the previous 12 months,such as maintaining a condition
which unreasonably annoys,injures or endangers the safety,health,morals,comfort,or
repose of any considerable number of members of the public.Minn.Stat.§617.81,subd.2
(citing § 609.74(1)). The process for obtaining a court order is as follows:
1.The City Attorney provides written notice to the property owner which (1)specifies the
nuisance,(2)summarizes the evidence of such nuisance,(3)informs the recipient that
failure to abate within 30 days may result in a court order,and (4)informing the
recipient of their ability to cancel a lease if it is a leased property.Minn.Stat.§617.81,
subd. 4.
2.The property owner has 30 days to abate the nuisance or enter into an abatement
plan with the City. Minn. Stat. § 617.82(a).
3.If the property owner does not abate the nuisance within 30 days of the notice or does
not comply with the agreed-upon abatement plan,the City Attorney may file a petition
in state court for a temporary injunction. Minn. Stat. § 617.82(b)-(c).
4.The court will then hold a “show cause”hearing,at which the property owner will have
the opportunity be heard.If the City proves that a nuisance exists,the court issues a
temporary injunction. Minn. Stat. § 617.82(c).
5.If necessary,the court will issue a permanent injunction and order for abatement of
the nuisance.Minn.Stat.§617.83.In the case of movable property causing the
nuisance,as here,the court will direct the removal and sale of the property.Minn.Stat.
§ 617.84.
III.Next Steps and Recommendations
As shown above,the City and State processes for abating nuisances are similar but not
identical.However,they can be used in an overlapping manner in a way that preserves the
City’s right to obtain a court order.
If the Council would like to move forward with abatement,we recommend the following
sequence of actions:
1.At the [_]meeting,Council authorizes staff to move forward with abatement of the
nuisance conditions present at 3004 31st Avenue and 3208 Skycroft Drive.
2.City issues a notice of nuisance violation which complies with the notice requirements
of Minn. Stat. § 617.81.
3.Following notice in accordance with City Code §92.09(B),the City Council holds a
hearing and issues an order for abatement.
4.If the order is not complied with within 30 days,the City Attorney files a petition for
temporary injunction in district court.

MEMORANDUM
To: City of Saint Anthony Village City Council
From: Richard Sonterre, City Code Official
Date: April 22, 2025 City Council Meeting
Request: Abatement Process and Request 3004 31st Avenue
The City of St. Anthony Village mission statement is “to promote a high quality of life to those we serve through
outstanding city services.” We put a priority on making sure that properties are maintained as they result in
higher property values which transforms into better neighborhoods, schools and a place of doing business.
Since 2020, city staff has made numerous attempts through in-person, educational materials, violation notices
and direct mail in an attempt to encourage Mr. Glen Peterson who resides at 3004 31st Avenue in St. Anthony.
Many of the violations started as complaints from his neighbors while others were proactive actions from code
enforcement inspectors.
The violations were documented both in written form as well as numerous photos which have been taken over
the past several years. I have included various photos and observation dates and efforts for you to view. The
common violations were vehicles in inoperable condition, expired registrations, significant amount of household
items and debris stored both outside on the front drive as well as in the vehicles themselves, as well as
significant housing maintenance code issues.
Various areas that code compliance focuses on are the health, safety and welfare of both the residents and their
properties. Keeping significant debris in areas for long periods can promote rodent harborage. This can have far
reaching consequences for the neighboring properties from both a safety standpoint as well as an overall
negative impact on their residences. In short, this large amount of debris does detract from the other well
maintained properties on this street.
The amount of debris and household items on this property has been changing over the years. One area that has
not are the vehicles that have been parked and used as storage vessels for the debris.
Our goal over the years has been to try to work with Mr. Peterson. We have tried numerous times to speak to
him be it in person or over the phone and numerous letters have been left at his residence asking him to call the
City Code official directly. However, we are continually being ignored. The abatement process is in our opinion is
the only option left to gain any resolution on this matter.
We are asking that following violations be abated at the property:
•Inoperable vehicle with expired tabs and used as a storage vessel, plate AJX-683
•Inoperable vehicle with expired tabs and used as a storage vessel, plate BRZ-581
•Vehicle with expired tabs, plate AJX-726
•Any household items/debris stored outside on the front yard, including the driveway, which we will
work with him to identify the specific items
•Housing maintenance code items, including the rodent harborage resulting from the violations.

were valid. Return with Mark to take pictures for Carlson letter

Complainant (neighbor) called to report that despite some improvements in debris, no change to downspout which is impacting his
property. He did speak with the owner and offered to help alter the path of the water, the owner has not followed up on purchasing the
necessary materials. A visual inspection of the property found that there was some, although in my opinion limited, improvements to the
amount of household items and debris outside the property, no improvements to the issues of downspout, structural damage, rodent harborage,
unlicensed or inoperable vehicles has occurred.

MEMORANDUM
To: City Council, City of Saint Anthony Village
From: Richard Sonterre, City Code Official
Date: April 22, 2025 City Council Meeting
Request: Abatement Process and Request 3208 Skycroft Drive
The City of St. Anthony Village mission statement is “to promote a high quality of life to those we serve through
outstanding city services.” We put a priority on making sure that properties are maintained as they result in
higher property values which transforms into better neighborhoods, schools and a place of doing business.
Since 2020, city staff has made numerous attempts through in-person, educational materials, violation notices
and direct mail in an attempt to encourage Mr. John Kelly who resides at 3208 Skycroft Drive in St. Anthony.
Many of the violations started as complaints from his neighbors while others were proactive actions from code
enforcement inspectors.
The violations were documented both in written form as well as numerous photos which have been taken over
the past several years. I have included various photos and observation dates and efforts for you to view. The
common violations were vehicles in inoperable condition, expired registrations, significant amount of household
items and debris stored both outside on the front drive as well as in the vehicles themselves.
Various areas that code compliance focuses on are the health, safety and welfare of both the residents and their
properties. Keeping significant debris in areas for long periods can promote rodent harborage. This can have far
reaching consequences for the neighboring properties from both a safety standpoint as well as an overall
negative impact on their residences. In short, this large amount of debris does detract from the other well
maintained properties on this street.
The amount of debris and household items on this property has been changing over the years. One area that has
not are the vehicles that have been parked and used as storage vessels for the debris.
Our goal over the years has been to try to work with Mr. Kelly. We have tried numerous times to speak to him
be it in person or over the phone and numerous letters have been left at his residence asking him to call the City
Code official directly. However, we are continually being ignored. The abatement process is in our opinion is the
only option left to gain any resolution on this matter.
We are asking that following violations be abated at the property:
• Vehicle with expired tabs and used as a storage vessel, plate RFJ-905
• Vehicle used as a storage vessel, collector plate 025719
• Commercial vehicle not meeting the parking requirements in an R-1 zoned property, plate LM8407
• Any household items/debris stored outside on the front yard, including the driveway, which we will
work with him to identify the specific items
