Presentation from North Suburban Cable Commission Ms Coralie Wilson presenting. 1 2 0 6 7 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 City Council Regular Meeting Minutes January 23, 2007 Page 2 Ms. Coralie Wilson, North Suburban Cable Commission, reported Congress adjourned last year without successfully adopting legislation changing telecommunication and franchising rules for local governments. She stated the bad news is that the FCC took up the slack. Ms. Wilson stated that in 2005 AT&T and Verizon petitioned the FCC for relief from local cable franchising rules as they had plans to build new networks to provide competition to the local cable companies, however, they could not do that if they had to speak to every City Council. Ms. Wilson informed Council that when it became evident Congress would not be able to pass the Senate bill, Chairman Martin moved the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to the December 20, 2006 meeting agenda with a draft rule making. She mentioned the rule was adopted on a 3/2 vote with the authority to continue to draft the rules. Ms. Wilson indicated it would not go into effect until printed in the Federal Register. She stated this usually takes 30-60 days after it is printed. She stated the Cable Commission believes it would apply to new competitors only and not to the current cable company. Ms. Wilson explained that current applicants in a City's public rights-of-way, such as Quest, must apply for a franchise and the City Council or local franchising authority must grant or deny the franchise within 90 days. She clarified that the City Council could not require the new applicant to serve the entire city. She mentioned the City could ask for an institutional network, public educational, and/or government access support, but that support, at the company's valuation and if in kind, is deducted from the five percent franchise fee. Ms. Wilson pointed out the order included a further Notice of Proposed Rule Making that would apply to existing franchisees. She indicated it appears the inclination is to say yes, but not until the existing franchise expires in 2013 for St. Anthony. Ms. Wilson reported the local Government associations in Washington, D.C., including those the North Suburban Cable Commission belongs to, are planning a lawsuit. She indicated the national associations are in the process of selecting legal council and strategy. She reported there has been backlash from the national associations. Ms. Wilson explained one challenge to the rule making would include that the Commission exceeded its legislative authority by attempting to make its own law. She reported that secondly, it is not based on the rule on the record. Ms. Wilson explained extensive comments were filed in the Notice of Proposed Rule Making stating there was not a problem. She explained that since 2005, Verizon acquired more franchises than it could keep up with. She indicated AT&T had not been seeking franchises because they do not need to and their product plan is not working. She indicated AT&T is asking for franchises but only in areas that do not require them to serve an entire city. Ms. Wilson reported a hearing is scheduled on February 1, 2007 between the Senate Commerce Committee and the Chairman of the FCC. She stated questions for Minnesota Senator Klobuchar to ask would be forwarded. Ms. Wilson stated she would keep Staff informed as the issue progresses. She indicated they might ask for an injunction to keep this from going into effect. She mentioned these cases generally take years to run through the court system. 2 City Council Regular Meeting Minutes January 23, 2007 Page 3 Ms. Wilson stated the North Suburban Cable Commission believes Quest is preparing State legislation asking for support to introduce the bill. She pointed out Quest stated the FCC order is not good for them and believe state legislation needed. 5 Ms. Wilson informed Council a local government summit would be held on February 6, 2007 to 6 talk about the FCC order and a legislative update. She stated the Cable Commission is 7 attempting to make sure all State and local governments are on the same page. She stated that if 8 the State Legislature introduced the bill, the Cable Commission would ask the City to write 9 letters and make phone calls. 10 11 Councilmember Gray stated he did not like excessive governmental control but unfortunately in 12 areas such as telecommunication, a free market is difficult because of the way it is setup. He 13 stressed that when it comes to the City's rights-of-way being challenged, the City must defend 14 them vigorously. He encouraged Council to support the actions of the North Suburban Cable 15 Commission as a group of ten cities. 16 17 Ms. Wilson stated this began as a build out issue when the Minnesota Telecommunications 18 Association, which is compose primarily of smaller greater Minnesota independent telephone 19 companies, went to the State Legislature asking for the removal of language from the code that 20 said new franchises had to match the incumbent in terms of area served. She stated telephone 21 companies do not want to be required to serve the entire community. She indicated the 22 companies prefer to choose areas where it is easiest to build and make the most money. 23 24 Mayor Faust explained that 15 or 20 years ago ten northern suburban cities formed a consortium 25 to provide cable access to every home at no charge. I -Ie stated the City receives CI'V channel 15 26 at no charge, which could potentially be at risk. He stated the City receives a franchise fee that 27 pays for the equipment to cover many City events. 28 29 Ms. Wilson replied the Cable Commission receives an operating grant to pay for public access to 30 provide the trucks and training. She emphasized the franchise fee is a grant permission to a 31 private entity to use public rights-of-way. She explained the franchise fees, the operating grant, 32 and the public access channel are the payment the private entity makes to use public land. She 33 stated it is unfortunate that this concept is getting lost in the debate. 34 35 Councilmember Horst asked Ms. Wilson how the under served areas of St. Anthony would be 36 covered. 37 38 Ms. Wilson replied that in 1983 it was built as an entertainment service for residential homes. 39 She explained the build out requirement was based on 40 homes per cable mile. She stated she 40 would look into the areas that are still not served. 41 42 Councilmember Horst stated cable is not available in the Silver Lake Village area. 43 Ms. Wilson explained that in the 1970's and 80's, not many multiple dwelling units existed. She 44 stated the challenge with these units is they are owned by an owner who could choose any 45 provider they want to and cut deals with satellite television systems. She stated the law is very 3 City Council Regular Meeting Minutes January 23, 2007 Page 4 1 fuzzy on what could be required in apartment units. She reported the condo or townhome 2 association decides who could provide the service. 4 B. Resolution 07-020• Conditional Use Permit to allow B'Yond Automotive to be located in 5 the Kenzie Commercial District Joel Stromgren Planning Commission presenting. 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 Planning Commission Chair Stromgren reported on the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for B'Yond Automotive presented to the Planning Commission on January 16, 2007. He stated the owner of B'Yond Automotive would like to locate his business at 2520 Kenzie Terrace. He mentioned that because modifications, parts exchanges, and repairs done to vehicles constitute an auto repair shop designation, a CUP is required. He stated the 60 -day expiration date is February 13, 2007. Chair Stromgren reported the Planning Commission recommended, if approve, the CUP include the following conditions to protect the residential nature of the neighborhood adjacent to the proposed site of B'Yond Automotive. Chair Stromgren stated the applicant agreed to the conditions as outlined by the Planning Commission that include: a. The hours of operation would be limited to Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Saturday 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and closed on Sunday. b. No outside storage of vehicles, product, or equipment. c. To mitigate and control the level of noise so as to not disrupt activities of the neighborhood, all work is to be done in the repair bay, which is proposed to be located inside the building. d. The use of solvents, paints, lacquers, or strong odor producing processes could be considered a violation of an approved Conditional Use Permit and would be cause for the City to initiate procedures to revoke the approved CUP. Councilmember Stille asked Chair Stromgren to speak about the noise issue. Chair Stromgren replied the noise issue was discussed by the Planning Commission. IIe reported Mr. Hamann indicated the automotive activities would be completed in the bay area located in the back of the building. Councilmember Stille asked if the repair area doors would be shut as stereo systems could be loud and vibrate. He indicated that in order to move forward with this CUP, the doors be required to be closed during testing. Chair Stromgren stated the City noise ordinance would be enforced. Mayor Faust asked Mr. Hamann where he is moving his business from. Mr. Hamann replied he is moving from 560 Randolph in St. Paul. City Council Regular Meeting Minutes January 23, 2007 Page 5 Mayor Faust asked about the closed doors. Mr. Hamann explained when the stereos are tested, the doors would be closed. He stated it takes about 30 seconds to test the speakers. 7 Councilmember Stille asked Mr. Hamann if he was comfortable with the outside storage 8 requirement. Ile stated he wanted him to understand the City is very strict on this point. 9 10 Mr. Hamann stated he is comfortable with the requirement. 11 12 Motion by Councilmember Gray, seconded by Councilmember Thuesen, to approve Resolution 13 07-020; a Resolution to Approve the Request for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow 14 B'Yond Automotive to be located in the Kenzie Terrace Commercial District. 15 16 Councilmember Horst asked Chair Stromgren if there was any public testimony from the 17 neighborhood. 18 19 Chair Stromgren replied there was not. 20 21 Councilmember Gray complimented Staff and the Planning Commission for the good job they 22 did on addressing all the issue of concern. He stated he is glad to see the business relocate to this 23 location. 24 25 Mr. Josh Hamann, B'Yond Automotive, addressed the City Council and welcomed questions 26 from the members 27 28 Councilmember Stille stated he would like to wordsmith the conditions of the resolution. He 29 pointed out that under item "b" to just state outside storage (period). He asked that on item "d" 30 use of solvents, paints, lacquers, or strong odor producing processes are prohibited (period). 31 Councilmember Stille stated he would then like to add the statement below: "the violation of the 32 above conditions would be cause for the City to deem the approved CUP null and void." 33 34 Councilmember Gray stated that concerning outside storage, what the Council would like to 35 prevent is cars in lot overnight. 36 37 Councilmember Stille replied it would relate to other items also. 38 39 City Manager Mornson recommended asking the owner to agree to no outside storage as the 40 stronger the language, the easier it is to enforce. I -Ie reported the Planning Commission and 41 Staff struggled with this issue in that this is more of a specialty business, rather than a business 42 requiring cars to be stored for repair. 43 44 Mr. Hamann replied he would not want customer cars stored outside due to the liability to him. 45 46 Mayor Faust asked if he had any problem with the outside storage condition. 5 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 City Council Regular Meeting Minutes January 23, 2007 Page 6 Mr. Haman replied he did not. Councilmember Horst stated that with a service business like this, vehicles would be around, and storage could be inferred for a period of time. He stated Council could look at this reasonably and still have grounds to call a CUP null and void. Mayor Faust stated he looks at no outside storage in that people would park where business parking was allowed and they are putting in high dollar items, so if Mr. IIamann agrees, it would be wise for Council to go with this. City Manager Mornson replied that there have been issues with the enforcement of the no storage language, therefore, the stronger the language the easier it is to enforce. Councilmember Stille stated the CUP deals with the land and because Council did not know who the next building tenant or owner might be, he wants to ensure the wording is correct. Mayor Faust stated Councilmember Stille made a motion on the changes Motion to change the original motion Councilmember Stille, Second Councilmember Horst to Reword item b to no outside storage; item d is changed to the use of solvents, paints, lacquers, or strong odor producing processes are prohibited. The violation of the above conditions would be cause for the City to deem the CUP null and void. Vote called on the amendment. Vote called on the original motion. Motion carried unanimously. Motion carried unanimously. VI. GENERAL POLICY BUSINESS OF THE COUNCIL. A. Resolution 07-021; Award a Bid & Order Improvements for 2007 Water Treatment Facilities Improvements. Mr. I Iubmer reported on the award of a bid and order improvements for the 2007 Water Treatment Facilities Improvements. He stated five bids were received with the lob bid of $375,600 received from Shank Constructors, Inc. Mr. Flubmer recommended approval of this bid. He stated the new system will replace the 17 year old system and remove the manganese in the water. Councilmember Gray asked Mr. Hubmer why the bid came so far under the previous bids. Mr. Hubmer replied the engineer's estimate was $600,000 based on a quote received last year. Councilmember Thuesen asked how soon the construction would start. 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 City Council Regular Meeting Minutes January 23, 2007 Page 7 Mr. Hubmer replied it would begin within the next month and finish about May 1, 2007, Councilmember Stille asked if preliminary testing was accomplished to make sure whatever system used would work. Mr. Hubmer replied a sample filter was brought in to test the removal of iron and manganese. He indicated it worked well. Mr. Hubmer stated the change to coarse grain sand and new chemical treatment processes had a better propensity to remove the manganese. Councilmember Stille asked what color the water was after it went through the filter. Mr. Hubmer replied it was clear; crystal clear! Councilmember Thuesen asked how soon the filter would need changing and would the City know when it needed to be changed before the water turned brown. Mr. Hubmer replied the life span of the filters is 20 to 25 years. He indicated a slowdown would be noticed over time. Mr. Hubmer stated testing for manganese and tracking concentration levels would continue. Motion by Councilmember'I'huesen, seconded by Councilmember Gray, to Approve Resolution 07-021, a Resolution Awarding a Bid and Ordering Improvements for the 2007 Water'freatment Facilities Improvements to Shank Constructors, Inc. in the amount of $375,600. Motion carried unanimously. B. Resolution 07-022; Ordering Changes to the Assessment Policy for Public Roadways Mr. Hubmer explained Resolution 07-022 was being modified to reflect that all City streets, including concrete streets, would be reconstructed with bituminous asphalt pavement. He stated it clarifies the water service replacement cost assessment and general clarifications. Mr. Hubmer reported the update included routine drainage and storm sewer replacement, sidewalk replacement, new sidewalk installation, and updated front footage diagrams and calculations. Mr. Hubmer reported the comparison of concrete versus asphalt was discussed. He stated concrete is generally quieter and creates a smoother ride, is lower in initial cost, flexes with the freezing and thawing of the subgrade, the mixture could be adjusted to address specific concerns such as rutting or cracking, and it is less expensive to repair. Mr. Hubmer stated, in comparison, concrete is generally louder, higher in initial cost, the rigid material did not flex with freezing and thawing of the subgrade which leads to increased breakups at manholes and gate valves. He indicated concrete provides a longer -lasting surface that is more costly to maintain or replace over time. Mr. Hubmer stated the 2007 Street Reconstruction Project bid for asphalt and concrete alternatives for the streets and alleys came in at $272,800 and $490,100 respectively. He 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 City Council Regular Meeting Minutes January 23, 2007 Page 8 indicated concrete had a cost of 80 percent greater than an asphalt alternative. He explained that using concrete would require increased property assessments, reduce the linear footage of reconstruction per year, and increase the cost to the CTP program. He stressed that concrete roadways have no proven impact on property value increases to residents. Councilmember Horst stated any presentation made earlier to the Council reiterated the curb and gutter areas would still be concrete to match what is currently in place and the new areas built in the City. Mr. Hubmer replied that was correct. Mayor Faust commented a water main break occurred on 33`d Avenue. He commented that because concrete can not be poured in winter a barrier remains in place. Motion by Councilmember Gray, seconded by Councilmember Stille, to Approve Resolution 07- 022, a Resolution Ordering Changes to the Assessment Policy for Public Roadways. Motion carried unanimously. C. Update on Automatic Meter Reading and Inflow & Infiltration (I/I) Program Mr. IIubmer updated Council on the work to be supplied by H.D. Supply on the replacement of water meters. He reported commercial installation began the week of January 15, 2007 and residential installation would begin the week of January 22, 2007. Mr. IIubmer pointed out the order of installation in the different areas of the City. Mr. Hubmer indicated all residents would be contacted by April 1, 2007. He stated a second contact/follow-up installation would be complete by June 1, 2007. IIe commented I & I inspections would be concurrent with the Automated Meter Read (AMR) installations. He stated residents would be notified immediately if their homes were found to be nonconforming. Councilmember Stille asked how the transition would work from the hard method of billing to the AMR process. Mr. Hubmer replied a curt off date would coincide with the date the meter was installed in the home. He explained there would be a onetime hand conversion done at City Hall and all future readings would be done off the wireless system. Councilmember Gray stated he received his card on January 22. He asked if there had been many questions. Mr. IIubmer replied there have not been many questions or issues. He indicated he receives a weekly updates on the meters replaced and the I&I inspection. Mayor Faust asked how individuals out of St. Anthony for the winter would be contacted. City Council Regular Meeting Minutes January 23, 2007 Page 9 1 Mr. Hubmer replied he has a list of most of the individuals and they would be contacted when 2 they return. 4 Mayor Faust asked what the device is that transmits the meter reading information. 5 6 Mr. Hubmer explained it is an electronic reading device that reads the meter, transmits the 7 information to a receiver on the IDS tower, downloaded to a website, and transferred to the City 8 of St. Anthony. 9 10 Mayor Faust explained it is for the betterment of the community and compliance with I&I. He 11 stated all inspectors are background checked by the St. Anthony Police Department. He stated 12 no one would come to the home outside of normal business hours, unless other appointments 13 have been made for other times. Mayor Faust encouraged anyone with questions on anyone 14 coming to their door to please call the St. Anthony Police Department. 15 16 D. Ordinance 07-001; Amending Sections 4 and 6 relating to the Automatic Water Meters 17 18 Mr. Hubmer explained the proposed amendment to Chapter 4 and Chapter 6 of the City code is 19 to reflect changes related to the replacement of the water meters and card reading system in St. 20 Anthony. He stated the ordinance is being changed to reflect the use of water from cubic feet to 21 gallons. 22 23 Mr. Hubmer detailed the changes to indicate meters would be read electronically by the City and 24 to eliminate the need for utility cards and residents to read their own meters. He stated the City 25 would no longer record water usage in cubic feet of water used, but rather to measure water 26 usage in gallons. 27 28 Mr. Hubmer stated the water rates for 2007, under the existing Ordinance, would be $1.93 per 29 100 cubic feet of water used. This has been converted to a rate of $0.0026 per gallon. Ile 30 explained the minimum charge for water usage would change from $19.30 for 1,000 cubic feet 31 of water to $19.50 for 7,500 gallons of water. He stated the minimum bill would increase by 32 $.20 as a result of rounding associated with the conversion of the system from cubic feet to 33 gallons. 34 35 Motion by Councilmember Thuesen, seconded by Councilmember Stille, to approve the second 36 reading of an Ordinance Amending Chapter 4 and Chapter 6 of the City Code Being the Storm 37 Water Facilities, Sanitary Sewer, Water, Street Excavation and Fees, Rates and Charges. 38 39 Motion carried unanimously. 40 41 VII.

During the meeting, various issues associated with this project were reviewed and discussed. It was determined that the proposed park redevelopment does not require rezoning and that the various components of the proposed redevelopment project do comply with the City's permitted uses, accessory uses and setback requirements as outlined in Chapter 16 of the City's Zoning and Land Use Code. Representatives from Three Rivers Park District, SRF Consulting and Miller-Dunwidde Architects presented a parking study to the Planning Commission at the January 16t" Planning Commission meeting for comment. The Silverwood Park parking study shows that parking deficits will occur depending on the event scheduled. They anticipate that weddings, concerts and 'peak events' of 2,000 park visitors will generally cause deficit -parking situations. "These scenarios are presented in Appendix B of the report and their proposed alternative parking plans for large events where 2,000 or more people are expected is discussed on pages 6 -10 of the report. Requested Action: Because Silverwood Park is designated as open space/ recreational, the City's Zoning Code states that the parking requirements in the R/O District will be set by the Council according to the expected demand for a particular facility (Section 1650.05, Subd. 1, (e)(11)). Representatives from Three Rivers have presented the future expected demands in the Silverwood Park Parking Study and are requesting that the City Council review and approve their parking plan for Silverwood Park.

Background: Three Rivers Park District is redeveloping the former Salvation Army Camp on the southwest corner of Silver Lake Road and County Road E'as Silverwood Park, a .special recreation -feature park. Silverwood Park is included as a component of the Metropolitan Regional :Parks System serving the -,seven county metropolitan area. In addition to providing a regional need, Silverwood Park will. provide the City St. Anthony with public open 'space and general 'park activities such as picnicking, hiking, and lake access for small -carry -in watercraft. The master, plan for the park was presented to the City of St. Anthony Council on March ,28, 2006 and received approval from the City Council on April 25, 2006. Three Rivers Park District staff also presented an update to the City Council on October 24, 2006. Parking Considerations: Three Rivers Park District's has 'initiated the next phase of design development and anticipatesmoving forward with construction 'document . .preparation and construction in 2007.. - As the design work- for both the site development and the buildings continues, St. Anthony's city code was., reviewed to ensure that the proposed work will be in compliance with local codes. The proposed development at Promoting environmental stewardship through recreation and education in a natural resources -based park system 2/ Silverwood Park does not require any rezoning, variances or conditional use permits. The various components of the proposed development comply with. the' permitted uses, accessory uses, and dimensional regulations outlined in Section 1645. The St. Anthony City Code does not. specify parking requirements for the Recreational/Open 'Space District, and- leaves the determination of the appropriate parking'provisions up to the City Council, as, described in Section 1650.05,Subd. 1 (e): "(11) The parking requirements in the R/O District will be set by the Council according to the expected demand for a particular facility." Three Rivers Park District commissioned the parking study, which will be dent under separate cover, as a part of.the project to. evaluate the; parking demand on ,Silverwood Park, based on. the proposed park programming; experience at other parks, and recognizedstandards. As a public agency, Three Rivers Park District has,a responsibility to provide adequate parking for everyday traffic and normal peak events.' In addition,. Three Rivers Park District has a responsibility to avoid negatively impacting natural resources with careful consideration and sizing of internal parking facilities, Three Rivers Park District will. utilize alternate parking facilities to serve larger special events that may require additional parking once or twice a year. Three Rivers Park District has contacted numerous area business such as nearby Wal-Mart/Cub Foods (Robert Muir Company); LDS New Brighton Church, and Rosedale Shopping Center to utilize larger parking resources during for these infrequent occurrences: Three Rivers Park District shuttle vehicles will be utilized, or if needed, Three Rivers Park District will contract with larger carriers. Silverwood .Park's parking lot design includes 155 parking spaces at the Visitor Center, 7 parking spaces at the eaet,side of the lawn area, and 68 parking spaces at the overflow lot. These numbers are consistent with the demand shown by the parking study, In 'addition,' the following comparisons calculate the parking requirements using criteria for similar uses in City of, St. Anthony zoning districts other than Recreation/Open Space.. The calculations use the Silverwood Park Visitor Center is planned at approximately 13,500 square feet in area. . Banquet style events will seat approximately 250, and lecture style events will seat approximately 350. The majority of events will use the banquet style seating. 1. C District requires 1 parking space for every 300 sf of gross floor area (1650.05 Subd. 1, (e) (6). Silverwood Visitor Center: 13,500 sf/300 = 45 parking spaces. Silverwood Art Studio (future): 6,000 sf/300 = 20 parking spaces 2. Churches, clubs and restaurants require the seating. capacity divided by a factor of 2.5 plus one space for each employee on the largest shift. (1650.05 Subd. 1, (e) (3)., Silverwpod Visitor Center: 350 seats/2.5 = 140 +-10 (1 per employee on largest shift) = 150 parking spaces. Silverwood Art Studio (future): 6,000 sf/300 = 20 parking spaces In the case. of larger events-- such as that in•example 2 park staff will• ,minimize scheduling other. significant larger events during the same time period. If'needed, the overflow parking is also intended to be'used.for this type of event.

Silverwood Park Parkine Study Chair Stromgren stated he must step down from this discussion as he has a financial interest per City Code and must allow Vice Chair Hanson to continue. Assistant City Manager Moore -Sykes reported that last year Staff met with representatives from the "Three Rivers Park District concerning plans to redevelop the site formerly known as the Salvation Army Camp. She stated the representatives would present a parking plan for consideration and comment. Mr. Michael Horn, Thrce Rivers Park District, stated he is pleased to be here to review Silverwood Park and the parking requirements. He stated the Park District is moving forward with preparing plans and with the demolition of 17 of the 22 structures on the site. He mentioned the Park District is excited about moving forward with Phase I development in 2007. He stated the consultants have been working long hours on plans for the visitor's center and site work. Mr. Horn displayed a map of the site and pointed out the new park entrance off County Road E near the existing central entrance. He indicated that sweeping to the west along a new park road would be a new parking area in the approximate area of the existing tennis courts. He stated from the paved parking lot, visitors would have access to many paved and unpaved trails, the new visitor center with rest rooms, concessions, programs, and exhibit space. Ile pointed out visitors would have access to the outside performance area from the parking lot and access by paved trail to a new pedestrian bridge and over to the island. He pointed out the location of the park's open space. Ms. Joan McCloud, SRF Consulting Group, stated she has had the pleasure of working with Three Rivers to convert this space into a greater asset with activities and programs that could be done on a formal or more casual bases. She explained the purpose of a parking study is to determine how much parking space is actually needed on site to decrease overflow parking into the neighborhoods around the park. She stated they have used a methodical approach to determine the kinds of visitors that would come to the park. Ms. McCloud stated she used French Park as a basis for the study as it is similar in many ways to Silverwood Park. She 29 Planning Commission Meeting Minutes January 16, 2007 Page 6 1 explained she studied how many cars arrived and how many people were in each car during the 2 primary time for events from May to October where the most demand exists. She stated she 3 worked directly with Mr. Horn to make sure that at any point in time the park is not oversold 4 between programming and the events or programs. 6 Ms. McCloud directed the Commissioners to Appendix A of the study, which shows what is 7 anticipated for any one event. She indicated she chose a summer Saturday, Sunday, weekday and 8 a peak event that would involve the City. She explained a total supply of 296 parking spaces 9 would be built. She pointed out where 68 overflow parking spaces would be located and used 10 when needed. She also discussed the use of a shuttle service for specific events. 11 12 Mr. Horn mentioned they are working with storm water management for the correct impervious 13 surface such as porous pavement, rain gardens, and a new storm water treatment pond. 14 15 Commissioner Jenson asked how many parking spots currently exist in the park. He asked if 296 16 are what would be added. 17 18 Ms. McCloud stated that 296 spaces are planned as the total number. 19 20 Commissioner Jenson asked if that is an increase to the current number. 21 22 Mr. Horn pointed out they do not have a current count because it has not been open to the public 23 but estimates about 100 additional spaces. 24 25 Mr. Dennis Hahn, Program Director, spoke about a school weekday and the plan to include a 26 nature based program with a naturalist and nature inspired art interpretive programming. He 27 explained that after school activities would include community education, 4-11, and other 28 community groups with an interest in this type of education would take place at Silverwood Park. 29 He indicated a large formal classroom would not be constructed as in other parks, however, there 30 would be a small space in the visitor center and in some buildings being retained that could hold 31 classes. He stated parking space for busses would be provided. 32 33 Mr. Hahn stated public programs would also be sponsored. He indicated these would be smaller 34 programs. He mentioned the larger programs or site events would include from 300 to 500 35 people. He stated that occasionally special events would attract 1000-3000 people about once 36 per year. He stated in that case parking would not be adequate, therefore the park would look at 37 setting up a shuttle service to reduce traffic on park roads. 38 39 Mr. Hahn remarked that in his experience, higher use happens on weekends with numbers of 40 about 100 — 150 people per day. He anticipated this would increase to up to 300 people per day. 41 He stated a large group rental space in the visitor center for 200-250 people would be available 42 and provide space for a larger display or a larger public program. He stated these are the types of 43 visitations used to help put together parking requirements. 44 30 Planning Commission Meeting Minutes January 16, 2007 Page 7 Commissioner Galyon asked how parking shuttle use would be enforced as opposed to parking in the neighborhoods. 4 Ms. McCloud replied advertising would be done similar to what the State Fair does. She stated 5 strategies of valet parking and police directing traffic would also be an option. She mentioned 6 signage and or guidance out on public streets would regulate traffic flow and public safety. She 7 stated the reason they choose Roseville as a location for the shuttle is to eliminate confusion. She 8 stated for smaller events, they have talked with churches and other parking areas to use for 9 shuttle park. 10 11 Mr. Hahn explained he is working with the City for posted signage stating no parking during 12 events and for the City's help with enforcement. He indicated advertising in the brochures 13 would clearly explain where parking is allowed. He mentioned that valet, park police, or City 14 police help with directing traffic for overflow parking would be used. 15 16 Commissioner Galyon stated it could be brought back to the City Council for a mitigation 17 strategy. 18 19 Ms. McCloud stated definitely. She indicated they are not anticipate throwing a large event right 20 away and would work closely with the City to find ways to mitigate problems. 21 22 Commissioner Galyon pointed out the parking area and asked if this is where all 296 spaces 23 would be located. 24 25 Ms. McCloud explained they are working with the currently paved areas and extending 26 somewhat south. She stated they are trying to keep many of the trees in place. 27 28 Commissioner Galyon asked if there is room for cars to pass on the road, but not to park. 29 30 Ms. McCloud replied yes. 31 32 Commissioner Galyon stated if there would be separate areas for bikers to enter the park and 33 would skate boarding be allowed. 34 35 Ms. McCloud pointed out where the bike/pedestrian entrance would be located. She stated bike 36 storage racks would be provided in specific areas. She mentioned she is not sure skateboarding 37 would be prohibited. 38 39 Commissioner Jensen mentioned he is unclear how the ratio per car was reached. He stated it 40 almost appears to be a design over -park for the very large events that are difficult to predict. 41 42 Ms. McCloud replied there would be 150 spaces in Phase I and this is a balancing act based on 43 what they have experienced at other parks for specific events. She stated they are trying not to 44 create too much demand at any given point and balance events so large events are not planned at 45 the same time. 31 Planning Commission Meeting Minutes January 16, 2007 Page 8 Commissioner Jensen stated there is a pot to spend and if it is needed for maintenance in the future it is hard to get. Ms. McCloud replied she is saying they want to have enough parking for people until other areas of the park are develop. She stated that if the demand for parking is not what was anticipated, Phase 2 would not be completed. She explained this would remain grass unless additional pavement becomes warranted. 10 Commissioner Jensen stated a number of different scenarios such as a proof of parking where the 11 spaces are not built right away have been looked at. He stated the space is allocated per the 12 master plan but different approaches to parking are tried when it is primarily the peak events that 13 take the spaces and most of time the park would be vastly over -served with parking. 14 15 Ms. McCloud replied that some analysis did indicate that it was over built and they backed off 16 from what was previously built in other parks. 17 18 Commissioner Jensen indicated that some of the slightly reinforced grass paver systems used is a 19 way to introduce some of the other green technology that would hold up better to cars after a 20 significant rain event than typical grass. 21 22 Ms. McCloud replied that was the intent 23 24 Commissioner Galyon asked if cats would be ticketed and how it would be enforced. 25 26 Mr. Hahn stated when the Park District has large events, the park police are out in force to patrol 27 the area and keep people moving. He reported that when the study was done, one aspect studied 28 was the large group rental. He reported they found one would think cars would come full when 29 they were actually arriving with 1.9 people per car. 30 31 Commissioner Jenson asked if parking would be allowed on County Road E. He stated when a 32 large event is planned, people would go to the event to try to park, and asked how do you steer 33 them away when parking is full. 34 35 Mr. Hahn stated parking is not allowed on County Road E. Ile restated the park police and 36 signage would be used to direct people. 37 38 Commissioner Jenson stated if Phase I was to have 150 paved parking places, would a ramping 39 up process be implemented as the size of the events are planned. 40 41 Ms. McCloud stated the visitor center is the only building planned and this did not put a lot of 42 people in the park. She explained that right now events would be planned to use the existing 43 parking or to use of a shuttle for larger events. 44 45 Commissioner Jensen mentioned that in the past the St. Anthony Police Reserve was used. 32 Planning Commission Meeting Minutes January 16, 2007 Page 9 Mr. Hahn stated the Park District would be excited about opening the park when Phase I is complete and he assumes a large number of people would attend. He stated that in this case they would plan to have shuttle service for the opening day of the park. Mr. Horn clarified by pointing out where Phase I parking spaces would be. He stated this includes 155 paved parking spaces and the 68 overflow parking spaces in the grassy area. 9 Ms. McCloud stated there is room to expand the grassy area if needed. 10 11 Commissioner Galyon asked what type of lighting was planned for the parking area. 12 13 Mr. Horn replied they would follow the Park District and local zoning standards for lighting 14 requirements. He explained the lighting is a down light in the parking area only. 15 t6 Ms. McCloud mentioned there would be limited lighting to the visitor center and possibly low 17 level lighting. She explained the Park District did not generally light the trails. 18 19 Commissioner Jensen asked if cross country ski trails would be included. 20 21 Mr. Hahn replied cross county ski trails are not planned at this time. He explained poles on the 22 paved trail are destructive and not conducive to vigorous cross country skiing. Ile stated there 23 would be snow shoeing activities. 24 25 Commissioner Jenson complemented them on the detailed analysis as they tried to anticipate and 26 understand scenarios. 27 28 Vice Chair Hanson stated this would be a great asset to the community and asked when Phase I 29 would begin. 30 31 Mr. Horn replied construction should begin this summer. 32 33 Vice Chair Hanson asked what the timeline might be. 34 35 Mr. Horn did not want to put an actual date but perhaps some trails would be open in 2008. 36 37 Commissioner Jenson asked when it would be open for walking. 38 39 Mr. Horn replied probably summer or fall 2008. 40 41 Vice Chair Hanson asked Staff if a public hearing would be held. 42 43 Assistant City Manager Moore -Sykes stated that according to the ordinance, Council must 44 approve any parking plan for recreation open space. She stated there would probably be a public 45 hearing or review of the plan to give the Council a chance to review it. 33 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 3.5 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 Planning Commission Meeting Minutes January 16, 2007 Page 10 X.

ANTHONY VILLAGE, MINNESOTA PRESALE REPORT FEBRUARY 13, 2007 Proposed Issue: $2,050,000 General Obligation Improvement Bonds Series 2007A Purpose: The Bonds will finance the 2007 road reconstruction projects. Description: These Bonds are being issued for the purpose of financing the construction of roadways and sewer and water improvements and are being issued pursuant to Minnesota Statues, Chapter 429 and 475. Term/Call Feature: The Improvement Bonds are being issued for a 15 -year period. Principal on the bonds will be due on February 1 in the years 2009 through 2023. Bonds maturing February 1, 2015 and thereafter will be subject to prepayment at the discretion of the City on February 1, 2014. Funding Sources: The Bonds are general obligations of the City and as such are secured by a pledge of the City's Rill faith, credit and taxing powers. Under Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 429, principal and interest on the Bonds is payable from special assessments against benefiting property owners and a tax levy. The special assessments amount is $523,454 and will be levied in the years 2007 through 2021 for collection in 2008 through 2022 at a rate of 2.0% per annum over the true interest cost of the Bonds. The remaining balance will be paid from a tax levy. The required 105% coverage on the Bonds shows a need for the City to levy approximately $144,000 annually for this project. Discussion Issues: Principal payments maturing in 2008 through 2023 are structured to maintain level debt service in the amount of approximately $190,000 per year and assumes special assessments are paid on a level payment basis. Li The first interest payment on the Bonds will be February 1, 2008 and semiannually thereafter on February 1 and August 1. The projected debt service and flow of funds are attached to this report.

HuGmer, PE' Date: Jammy 3, 2007 Re: Revisioits to City Ordinance Section 4.10 - Water System, Section 605 - Sewer, and Section 61.0 - Water It is proposed to amend Chapter 4 and Chapter 6 of the City code to reflect changes related to replacement of the water meters and the card reading system in St, Anthony Village. The attached Ordinance 07-001 has all the proposed changes to the City code outlined for your review. The Ordinance changes reflect the following changes to the City's water system and billing system. Meters will now be read electronically by the City and will eliminate the need for utility cards and residents to read their own meters. 2. The City will no longer record water usage in cubic feet of water used. The City is converting to measure water use in gallons. The water rates for 2007, under the existing Ordinance, would be $1.93 per 100 cubic feet of water used. This has been converted to a rate of $0.0026 per gallon. 4. The minimum charge for water usage will go from $19.30 (1,000 cubic feet) to $19.50 (7,500 gallons). The minimum bill will increase by .20 cents as a result of rounding associated with the conversion of the system from cubic feet to gallons. This concludes the report on the proposed Ordinance for amending Chapter 4 and Chapter 6 of the City code. I will be present at the January 9, 2007, Council Meeting to discuss these changes with you. If you have any questions prior to the meeting, please call me at 763-287-7182.
