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.

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

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.

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.

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.

$375,600 received from Shank Constructors, Inc. Mr. Flubmer recommended approval of this

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

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

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.

STAFF REPORT
To: City Council
From: Kim Moore -Sykes, Assistant City Manager
Date: February 13, 2007
Subject: Silverwood Park Parking Study
Requested Action: Council Approval of Parking Study by Three Rivers Part District
Property Address: 4200 Silver Lake Road
Zoning District: Open Space/ Recreational
Background: On December 5, 2006, Staff met with representatives and consultants for Three
Rivers Park regarding the redevelopment plan for Silverwood Park, formerly the Salvation Army
Camp. 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.

St: Anthony, MN,55000
Re: Silverwood Park Parking Requirements
Dear Ms. Moor -Sykes:
This letter is in .response and a review of the parking requirements for
Silverwood Park with the City of St. Anthony.
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.
Three Rivers Park District staff and consultant representatives will be in
attendance . and I available for . questions at the St. Anthony's Parks
Commission on January. 16, 2007.

recommended r. Hamann attend.
IX. CONCEPT REVIEWS.
IX.1. 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

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.

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

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

24 Commissioner Galyon asked if cats would be ticketed and how it would be enforced.

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.

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.

CITY OF ST. 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.

Memorandum
To: Honorahle Mayor, City Council, and City Staff
St. Anthony Village
From: Todd E. 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.
