GENERAL BUSINESS OF COUNCIL. 10 11 A. July 16, 2011 Flood Information presentation 'Todd Hubmer, City Engineer,.presenting. 12 13 City Engineer Hubmer presented an update regarding the July 16, 2011, flood event and stated 14 that the report is being prepared in collaboration with New Brighton City staff. He explained 15 that there are three Ramsey County ditches being reviewed, including Ditch No. 5, Ditch No. 3 16 which goes down Silver Lane and enters Ditch No. 5 at which point it turns into Ditch No. 2 17 which drains into Pike Lake on the north side of 694. Ile presented photographs taken of the 18 July 16°i flooding in both St. Anthony and New Brighton and provided an update on activities to 19 date, including completion of the Mirror Lake pond survey and televising of the storm sewers. 20 He stated they are currently working on rainfall analysis and modeling efforts and added that 21 they now have a detailed survey of the outlet structure. He indicated they are aware that Mirror 22 Lake spilled over the berm and found some settlement but nothing significant. He advised that 23 on the south end of the City, they have completed televising in the industrial park which includes 24 two drainage systems that drain to the back of the industrial park with most of the flooding 25 occurring in one particular building. He noted that this storm sewer was found to be clean and 26 functioning as intended, but the system that goes to the south is full of debris and they are in the 27 process of cleaning it out. Ile advised that they are looking at a hydraulic analysis for additional 28 storage to provide additional protection to the buildings between the cemetery and industrial 29 buildings. He discussed the televising done in the Mirror Lake area where it attaches to Silver 30 Lane and is the beginning of Ditch No. 3 and this was found to be clear of debris and in proper 31 working order. He provided information regarding the rainfall analysis for a 24 hour, 100 year 32 storm event, which showed that St. Anthony received a one hour equivalent of 3.3" and a 2.5 33 hour event was 3.9". He stated that the Fridley weather station reported 4.18" in 2.35 hours and 34 an additional 1.25" for a total of 4.53". He noted that another site in Fridley recorded 5.88" and 35 New Brighton recorded 3.75" in a 2.5 hour period. He indicated that because rainfall can be 36 variable, they are reviewing radar images over a 36 hour period showing the intensity of the rain 37 event and this data will be input into a model that will show actual performance of the system 38 over the entire watershed during the time of the storm. He advised that once modeling is 39 complete, they will begin to review next steps, complete the rainfall analysis, and evaluate the 40 performance of the system to see if there are any locations where the system did not perform as 41 designed. He stated they believe that one pipe in New Brighton may not have been in the best 42 condition and they intend to develop alternatives to improve flood protection levels to elevate 43 and increase protection. He added that their findings will be reviewed with the City and its 44 residents and they anticipate completion of the report sometime this winter. 45 City Council Regular Meeting Minutes October 11, 2011 Page 3 1 Councilmember Roth indicated that he did not see anything related to the flooding by Emerald 2 Park and a lot of residents received water in their basements in this area. 4 City Engineer Hubmer advised that they are aware of this area and have included it in their 5 review. 6 7 Councilmember Stille asked if other governmental agencies will be involved in this process. He 8 also asked if removal of the debris on the Hennepin County side might have helped or lessened 9 the impact of the flooding. 10 11 City Engineer Hubmer stated that they are currently working with the Rice Creek Watershed 12 District as well as County agencies and will be looking at various alternatives. He added that 13 they worked with other government agencies during the 1997 flooding and those agencies may 14 have the ability to assist if public improvements are needed, including the Department of Natural 15 Resources which may have grant mitigation funds available. He indicated that removal of the 16 debris will definitely assist in reducing the occurrence of flooding. 17 18 Councilmember Jenson requested further information regarding next steps and the timeframe for 19 bringing forth proposals. 20 21 City Engineer Hubmer replied they anticipate sitting down with City staff sometime in January 22 or February, once the models are run, to look at alternatives and evaluate the likelihood that 23 improvements can be constructed, as well as to review budget parameters, impacts to the 24 community, and available resources. 25 26 Mayor Faust invited residents to come forward with any questions. 27 28 Mr. Kevin Young, Mirror Lake Manor resident, appeared before the City Council and asked if 29 build-up of silt in Mirror Pond could have affected its capability to store water. He also 30 questioned whether he should consider rebuilding given the flooding that occurred in 1997 and 31 again in 2011. 32 33 City Engineer Hubmer stated that the 1997 flooding did not impact the condominium units. He 34 indicated that any decision to rebuild rests with the property owner. He explained that when they 35 look at flood storage capacity, they look at what is available from the bottom of the pipe and 36 Mirror Pond contains a large structure that flows into an 18" culvert that goes under the road. I -Ie 37 stated they are currently determining the highest water elevation and as long as silt has not 38 impeded the flow, the flood storage is sufficient. He added that there are a couple of options 39 they will consider, including possibly lowering the normal water elevation or increasing the 40 elevation in the berm to add some additional flood storage and protection. 41 42 Mayor Faust stated that the City is committed to doing the right thing to prevent this from 43 happening in the future and will garner all available resources to minimize cost to the public. 44 45 Ms. Myrna Doran, Mirror Lake resident, appeared before the City Council and stated she has 46 lived there since 1974 and they have had many rain events before but the flooding that occurred 3 City Council Regular Meeting Minutes October 11, 2011 Page 4 1 on July 16°i has never happened before. She hoped that some of the information gleaned from 2 this will show what happened and noted that they have been told the water purification plan is 3 not the cause. She added that they do not want to go through this again and this is a major 4 problem for their condos, especially the twelve owners directly impacted by the flood. 5 6 City Engineer Hubmer stated that they are committed to seeing if changes need to occur in the 7 watershed and all the cities involved are committed to making sure the system functions as 8 intended. 9 10 Ms. Deb Larson, Mirror Lake resident, appeared before the City Council and indicated that their 11 master policy premium for flood insurance is $45,000 per year. She stated that they received a 12 quote of $12,000 per building, so three buildings out of eighteen would be $36,000 and their 13 residents cannot afford that. She added they will urge residents to take their own flood insurance 14 to cover their losses, but the twelve property owners most impacted are looking at $30,000 out - 15 of -pocket because they had no flood coverage. 16 17 Ms. Stephanie Roepke, 3901 Foss Road, appeared before the City Council and stated that she 18 previously asked about the City offering low interest loans to residents and asked if this is 19 something that would be available. 20 21 Mayor Faust explained that the only thing available would be a Housing Improvement Area for 22 the condos that would provide funding for improvements to the common areas. He added this 23 would be a decision for the homeowner's association. 24 25 Ms. Mary Lynn Waterhouse, Mirror Lake resident, appeared before the City Council and 26 requested clarification of City Engineer Hubmer's statement that the Mirror Lake property is at 27 the head of the system. 28 29 City Engineer Hubmer explained that Mirror Pond itself overtopped, upstream from the condos, 30 and contributed water at an uncontrolled rate to the 48" pipe under the railroad tracks and could 31 have caused flooding. He added that the water along Highway 88 might also have backed up and 32 they are currently reviewing this to see how the system should have performed and where the 33 problem was that led to the flooding. He indicated if the problem was just rainfall, they can look 34 for a location to store this water in the future, similar to Silver Point Park. 35 36 Ms. Deb Larson, Mirror Lake resident, appeared before the City Council and noted that 37 witnesses said when Foss Road flooded, Mirror Lake was at its normal level and when Foss 38 Road receded, Mirror Lake flooded. She felt that Mirror Lake might have contributed but it was 39 after the fact. 40 41 Mayor Faust stated it is important to let the science and engineering lead the efforts in fixing the 42 problem and these efforts will take time. He asked for the public's continued feedback and 43 reiterated the City's commitment to resolve this issue. 44 45 46 City Council Regular Meeting Minutes October 11, 2011 Page 5 B.

ITEM DESCRIPTION: Resolution 11-062; Calling for a Special Meeting of the St. Anthony Canvassing Board to Canvass the Results of the 2011 Municipal Election. REVIEW: In 2010, the legislative session passed several bill amendments relating to election reform. One of the amendments was to MN State Statute 205.185 subd. 3. This amendment changed the dates in which the governing body can canvass the results of an election from within seven days after an election to between the third and tenth days after an election. Because the City Council holds their regularly scheduled meetings on the second and fourth Tuesday of the month, the City Council will need to hold a special meeting. This special meeting will be held on November 16, 2011 at 5:30 pm.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of St. Anthony hereby calls for a special meeting of the St. Anthony Canvassing Board to canvass the results of the 2011 Municipal Election on November 16, 2011 at 5:30 pm. Adopted this 25th day of October, 2011 ATTEST: City Clerk Review for Administration: Mayor Interim City Manager 12 STAFF REPORT To: Mayor and City Council Jay Hartman, Interim City Manager From: Kim Moore -Sykes, Assistant City Manager Date: October 25, 2011 Subject: 2824 - 2828 Anthony Lane South; LI CUP for Mountain of Fire Miracles Ministry Requested Action: Date Application Received: Property Address: Zoning District: 60 -Day Expires: Waiver Letter Required: Future Action: City Council Approval August 17, 2011 2824 - 2828 Anthony Lane Light Industrial October 17, 2011; December 7, 2011 Yes Yes Date Sent: 10/5/2011 No Background. The property at 2824 and 2828 Anthony Lane South is currently zoned Light Industrial and was built in 1978 as a part of the original St. Anthony Office Park. The purpose of the Light Industrial District is to designate areas for, and regulate the development of, light industry. Areas are designated as light industrial due to the proximity of high capacity roadways or rail facilities and existing development are regulated to enhance the compatibility of light industrial uses and uses within the commercial. Subsection 152.141 lists the permitted uses, which are light industrial in nature and 152.142 lists permitted conditional uses and these are uses that are only allowed by the approval of City Council as a conditional use permit. Mr. Tom Baker, KW Commercial, and the applicant are requesting a Conditional Use Permit for 2824 and 2828 Anthony Lane South to use the property as an assembly place for members of the Mountain of Fire Miracles Ministry, a Christian denomination based in Houston, TX, as allowed by Subsection 152.142, (G), with Council approval. Mr. Baker reported that this group plans to use the building mostly on Sundays and some week nights. He indicated that these times of use would not impact the surrounding properties as they are not generally open for business on Sundays or week nights. Staff has contacted the Fire Department to advise staff on any fire suppression needs for a potential occupancy of up to 200 people. This number was determined based on the information provided by Preliminary Furniture Plan and conversations with Mr. Baker. The Fire Department indicated that the 13 building had recently been renovated and as a result, it is sprinkled in the large, open areas but may need to 14 be alarmed in the office areas. Mr. Baker advised Staff that the Ministry would have adequate parking for their members. Staff counted 70 parking spaces on the subject property from a site plan that was submitted by the applicants as part of their application submission. The City's zoning code for parking (152.178(5) (g)) for Light Industrial District requires 1 parking space for every 1,000 SF of building floor area, which is 14 spaces. Staff reviewed the code for parking required for similar uses, which are churches and clubs. The parking requirement for these uses is the total designated seating capacity of the structure divided by 2.5. The seating capacity as noted on the site plan is 210 and doing the computation gives the site the minimum of 84 parking spaces; short by 14 parking spaces. Mr. Baker stated that the membership would never be more than 175 members, stating that 70 parking spaces are adequate. The Planning Commission suggested that the pastor meet with neighboring properties to secure an agreement to be able to use adjacent parking areas as overflow. Staff has received calls from one of the tenants at 2824 - 2828 Anthony Lane South for status updates on the disposition of this application. The caller, who works for the University of Minnesota, has requested that Staff keep them updated on the status because if the City approves the Mountain of Fire Miracles Ministry's application and the sale goes through, they will be required by law to find another place to rent. A neighboring property owner called to say he is concerned that the proposed buyer will not have enough parking for their congregation.

The reason for the conditional use permit is for the church to purchase and make use of a minimally leased office/industrial building in southern St. Anthony. This is in an area of industrial/office use with some other uses that have required a conditional use, such as a daycare. The property currently has two tenants and is 26% leased. The building value has dropped by 52% from the purchase in 2005. The church is negotiating final terms of a purchase agreement which is based on receiving the Conditional Use Permit from the City of St. Anthony. The church will allow the two tenants to stay in the building, at their option, but does not plan to lease any space in the building after these tenants vacate. Mountain of Fire Miracles Ministry is a Christian Church with a national headquarters in Houston. The church would have the highest use of the property when the majority of the other businesses are closed or operating minimally. The church would use the building for Sunday services with smaller groups through the week. The church has normal attendance of 150-165 at the Sunday service. The current on site parking will handle parking for 170. The removal of 13,595 square feet of vacant space will allow the vacancy factor for the city to be favorably adjusted. The weekend use will provide activity in the area when other businesses are closed. This will be an excellent use of the building in an area bordered by industrial, retail and cemetery uses. We appreciate your consideration of the application for a Conditional Use Permit and look forward to working with the city staff on this process. Sincerely, �4l Pastor Nnaemeka C.

Uchegbu, Pastor, dated October 25, 2011. Adopted this 25th day of October, 2011 ATTEST: City Clerk Review for Administration: Mayor Interim City Manager 26 STAFF REPORT To: Mayor and City Council Jay Hartman, Interim City Manager From: Kim Moore -Sykes, Assistant City Manager Date: October 25, 2011 Subject: 3701 Chandler Drive — 25' Variance to Front Yard Setback Requested Action: Date Aoolication Received: Propetty Address: Zoning District: 60 -Day Expires: Waiver Letter Required: Future Action: City Council Approval September 27, 2011 3701 Chandler Drive R-4 November 25, 2011 Yes Date Sent: No X Background. Staff met with Mr. Alan Plutowski, Trossen Wright Plutowski Architects, PA, to discuss a renovation project at Chandler Place. The property owners are proposing to construct a Porte cochere to provide a canopy over the drop-off area at the main entrance to the facility for the safety and convenience of the residents and visitors. Because the building is built up to the property line, the property owners are seeking a twenty-five (25) foot variance in order to move forward with this proposal. The City Code states that the front yard setback for an R-4 principal structure is thirty (30) feet from the property line. Staff reviewed the property file and found that Chandler Place was built in 1966, ten years before the City codified its Zoning Ordinance. Since there were no regulations in place to prevent the owners at the time from building at the property line, the current owners have a practical difficulty if they want to build a porte cochere and are required to seek a variance for their project. Anal stets: The property owners are responsible for demonstrating why the strict enforcement of the Ordinance would cause practical difficulties for them by preventing the subject property to be used in a reasonable manner; that the plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property and not created by the landowner; that the variance if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality; and that economic considerations alone are not the basis of the practical difficulties (City Code §152.245(C)). In the written statement from the applicant, Mr. Dan Cayemburg, the project manager for Chandler Place, stated that strict enforcement of the front yard setback would allow an issue of safety to continue to exist for P:\Council Meetings\2011\10252011\Stafi3701 Chandler Dr frontyard setback variaacc.doc8taff3701 Chandler Dr front yard setback variance 27 the residents and visitors of Chandler Place during inclement weather. Mr. Cayemberg further states that 28 the granting of the variance to allow the porte-cochere will give protected ingress and egress to the facility. Since this is a public facility, it is reasonable for residents and visitors alike to expect safe access to the building. The situation of the structure being built up to the property line and in the front yard setback was not caused by the current owner. According to information in the property file, Chandler Place was built prior to the City of St. Anthony Village adopting its zoning code and therefore circumstances exist that are unique to the property. Mr. Cayemberg continues to say that if granted, the variance will not alter the essential character of the locality. Chandler Place is in the R-4 zoning district, where neighboring properties are of the same character and nature. The purpose of the R-4 zoning district is to provide areas for housing other than l- and 2 -family dwellings and townhomes. He also states that economic considerations alone are the basis of the variance request. Mr. Cayemberg further explains that the owner is willing to spend the money to improve the safety of the facility by insuring that main public entrances are safe and secure while at the same time, enhancing the appearance of the facility. Staff has checked with the Fire Department for their comments. They indicated that the height of the porte- cochere would not cause them an issue. They would like a "no parking fire lane" designation on Chandler Drive, adjacent to the entrance of the proposed porte-cochere.

Strict enforcement of the zoning code on this property will maintain an issue of safe access to the facility in inclement weather. Granting of the variance will allow construction of the drive through porte-cochere at the entry to this facility to allow safe, protected ingress and egress to this facility and to vehicles bringing people to and from the facility. The construction of the proposed porte-cochere is a permanent structure built of steel standing seam metal roofing & stucco columns attached to one side of the existing building. It is a completely reasonable feature for such a facility and it is not permitted by the zoning code due to the front yard setback requirements on this site. The construction of the proposed porte-cochere is necessary to provide safe, protected ingress and egress for residents and visitors. The setbacks are unique to the property and are not created by the property owner and the current 30' setback was not a requirement when the building was originally designed and constructed. The existing pedestrian canopy extends into this setback area and is intended to be removed with this addition. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. It will improve tine character of the area by enhancing the appearance of the facility. Economic considerations alone are not the basis of the practical difficulties. The owner is willing to spend this money to improve safe ingress and egress and enhance the appearance of the facility. Due to the layout of the building and site, this is the only way to achieve this in an effective efficient manner to the main entry of the facility. Chandler Place Variance Statement Page 2 of 2 The variance, if granted, would be consistent with the city's comprehensive land use plan. The land use plan for this site is and will remain multiple -unit residential. The porte-cochere will enhance the ability of the facility to continue the current use as multi -unit senior housing. The granting of the variance is in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the zoning code. In that the intent of the code is to "protect the health, safety, and general welfare of the city and its people through the establishment of minimum regulations governing land development and use", the granting of this variance will allow the construction of the proposed porte-cochere which will aid in providing safe ingress and egress for building residents and visitors and will also enhance the appearance of the facility, thereby improving the general welfare of the city.

ANTHONY STATE OF MINNESOTA RESOLUTION 11-064 RESOLUTION FOR APPROVAL OF THE REQUEST FOR A VARIANCE TO ENCROACH INTO THE FRONT YARD SETBACK AT 3701 CHANDLER DRIVE WHEREAS, a Public Hearing was scheduled with the Planning Commission for October 18, 2011and commenced at 7:05 PM to consider the property owner's request for a twenty-five (25) foot variance to the front yard encroachment allowance as permitted by Article XV of the City Code, subd. 152.177(D); and WHEREAS, the applicant, Alan Plutowski, TWP Architects presented a variance request that they be given a twenty-five (25) foot variance so that they could build a porte cochere over the front entrance at Chandler Place; and WHEREAS, the subd. 152.177 (D) permits up to five (5) feet encroachment into the front yard and Mr. Plutowski is requesting a twenty-five (25) foot variance to subd. 152.177(D); and WHEREAS, the applicant is required to provide evidence that discloses facts that are unique to the subject property, that strict enforcement would cause practical difficulties, preventing the subject property to be used in a reasonable manner; that the plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property and not created by the landowner; that the variance if granted will not alter the essential character of the locality; and that economic considerations alone are not the basis of the practical difficulties; and WHEREAS, 1. The applicant presented information that the property cannot be put to a reasonable use without the variance. It is historically a common practice to construct residential structures at the front yard setback line so that the structure is similarly situated on the lot in an orderly fashion. The City's Zoning Ordinances, allows a five (5) foot encroachment in the front yard setback to accommodate steps, stoops and porches for access and egress. The applicant stated that the current residential front yard setback encroachment of five (5) feet is not wide enough allow for the installation of a porte cochere that would protect residents and visitors from inclement weather and slippery conditions due to snow, ice or rain; and WHEREAS, 2. The circumstances causing the hardship were not created by the owners. The current facility was built in 1966 on a lot that for the time was quite typical; and WHEREAS, 3.

The granting of the variance will not alter the essential character of the locality. It will improve the character of the area by enhancing the appearance of the facility; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commissioners unanimously voted to recommend approval of the proposed twenty-five (25) foot variance to the Front Yard Setback Encroachment for 3701 Chandler Drive. BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of St. Anthony does hereby agree with the Planning Commissions recormnendation; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of St. Anthony does hereby approve the twenty-five (25) foot variance to the Front Yard Setback Encroachment for 3701 Chandler Drive. Adopted this 25th day of October 2011 ATTEST: City Clerk Reviewed for administration: Mayor Interim City Manager 41 STAFF REPORT To: Mayor and City Council From: Jay Hartman, Interim City Manager Date: October 25, 2011 Subject: Garage Setback Permit Request — 3205 - 36th Avenue NE Requested Action: Date Application Received Property Address: "Zoning District: 60 -Day Expires: Waiver Letter Required: Future Action: City Council Approval September 23, 2011 3205 — 36°i Avenue NP R-1 November 21, 2011 N A Date Sent: _ No Background. Mr. and Mrs. Donald Pavelka, owners of 3205 - 36th Avenue NE, plan to build a six (6) foot addition to an existing attached single car garage on their property to convert it to a more useable double car garage. The current garage is located nine (9) feet from the side property line and if allowed to build the six (6) foot addition, the addition will be 2 feet into the five (5) foot side yard setback. The owners are requesting a Garage Setback Permit to build the addition, giving them a double car garage. The neighbor's to the west of the subject property have a fence that is approximately one foot from the property line, according to the applicant. The City's zoning code requires that anyone wanting to build a garage in the rear yard setback and/or side yard setback of their property have to apply for a Garage Setback Permit and have it approved by the City Council (152.176 (F)). The property owners are responsible for demonstrating why the strict enforcement of the Ordinance would cause practical difficulties for them by preventing the subject property to be used in a reasonable manner that the plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner; that the variance if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality; and that economic considerations alone are not the basis of the practical difficulties (City Code §152.245(C)). They have stated in their written statement that the existing attached garage is a single car garage. They can only have one car in the garage at a time and since they own two cars, they would like be able to put both cars in the garage year round. In Minnesota, it is reasonable to have a double car garage and it would not alter the essential character of the neighborhood as most, if not all houses have double car garages.

This was not a situation that the Pavelkas created and economic considerations alone are not the basis of the practical difficulties. The addition of six (6) feet to the existing garage adds 144 SF of impervious surface. Without the addition, lot coverage is at 12%; with the addition, lot coverage becomes 18%, well within the 35% lot coverage maximum for an interior residential lot. The addition also increases the size of the existing garage to 528 SF, the maximum size allowed in the rear yard setback and the side yard setback.

Ms. Rachel Sanzone, property owner of 3219 Stinson Boulevard, is requesting a Garage Setback Permit and a 308 SF variance to rebuild her garage that was severely damaged in one of this year's summer storms. She had originally requested a building permit to rebuild but when Staff was reviewing Ms. Sanzone's building permit application, they discovered that a previous owner had built a 396 SF 'garage addition to an existing garage in 2003. Ms. Sanzone, who purchased the property two years ago, was called and advised that she could not rebuild the size of garage that she previously had, as it had been built illegally. She responded that she used the garage and expected to be able to replace it; that she had called her insurance company about the storm damage and had contractors ready to start rebuilding. Analysis. Ms. Sanzone testified that she was not aware at the time of purchase that the garage was illegally built and stated that the garage was the reason that she bought the property. Ms. Sanzone's lot is 50' x 163' or 8,150SF; is an interior lot; is non -conforming due to its width and total area; and has a maximum lot coverage of 40%.

Because of this act of God which was beyond my control, I am being penalized. This has been a long and drugged out process that has not only caused me to not be able to use my garage, but it has and will continue to cause me a lot of unnecessary stress in my life. I am asking to put my garage and property back to what it was, prior to the storm and nothing more. I do not believe this garage caused any issues or complaints before and will not alter or change the character of the locality or affect any neighbors. If granted I would be able to have my garage back in time for winter. I would like to get this issue resolved so I can move on with my life, and be able to use my garage in the same manner as I was able to before the storm hit.

Greg Kozulla of Kozulla & Associates, is an architect working with the owners of the St. Anthony Shopping Center to update and renovate the look of the Center. Mr. Kozulla is before the City Council with a request to review the proposed update to the information on the technical aspects of the Shopping Center's current comprehensive sign plan and to pass the proposed St. Anthony Shopping Center Sign Plan. The Planning Commission reviewed the Sign Plan at their September 20th and October 18th meetings. The Planning Commission is recommending approval with the updates and changes that Mr. Kozulla presented on October 18, 2011. An attached spreadsheet shows the proposed changes; the comprehensive sign plan that was adopted in 1989; and the current City Ordinance requirements for signs in the Commercial District. Mr. Kozulla has also provided a matrix of the proposed sign area calculations for the West and North buildings. Mr. Kozulla addressed other issues in his letter to the City dated September 8, 2011 as the result of questions asked of him by the Planning Commissioners. The City Code requires that a commercial property installing a parking lot today have one (1) parking space per 300 SF of gross floor area, measuring 9' by 19'. The mill and overlay that is part of the planned renovation of the Shopping Center is being done as maintenance of a parking lot, which has existed at the current site and mostly unchanged since construction was completed in the 1960's. As such, the parking lot for the Shopping Center is considered grandfathered in and is not required to conform to the City's Zoning Ordinance on Commercial Parking, which was passed in 1976.

This property contains three buildings. The north building (46,052 s.f.), the west building (39,388 s.f.) and the Dairy Queen (1,124 s,£), totaling 86,564 gross square feet. A factor of 300 s.f. suggests 288 parking spaces required. The existing parking lot has a total of 294 spaces, thus meeting current quantity requirements. It is the intent of the proposed parking layout to replicate that of the existing striping layout; however accessible ramp locations and accessible space locations will differ from the existing layout. Space widths vary from 8.78' to 10' depending on the location. Existing striping is 18' long. Because the landscaped islands dimensionally lock the parking lot striping layout, the 18' space length must be maintained. If we find the 18' length can be increased, the design will accommodate. Setbacks — In some cases, this property has zero lot setbacks. It is my understanding that since this project is nota redevelopment project setback restrictions will be grandfathered. Comprehensive Sign Plan — This project submitted a Comprehensive Sign Plan to the City, This Sign Plan was briefly discussed at the August 16 Planning Commission, however not to detail. The City is currently reviewing the proposed property Sign Plan and scheduled to be on the September 20 Planning Commission agenda. Site Drainage — Communications were held with the City and WSB &Associates with respect to storm water management. Given it is the intent to do a mill & overlay rather than a replacement; it was determined an underground storm water management system or specific site retention local ion not be required. Planning Commiasionand City Counci — Glveti the project is not requesting any rezoning, variances, easements, etc., it is the opinion of this offtoe the project is more of an administrative City process, hoyyever, this project's representatives are witling to work with City staff, Planning Commission; and City Council,as ifece$shry. Letter to Ms. Moore -Sykes September 8, 2011 Page 2 Plan Review and Building Permit — It is the intention to submit the construction documents to the City for Plan Review upon completion of the design documents. Concurrent to the plan review timeframe, the project will be competitively bidding to multiple general contractors. The successful contractor shall apply and pay for the permit.

Ground Signage (Site Signage) 1. At the time of this Comprehensive Sign Plan execution, the Owner is not planning for new ground signs and chooses to keep the existing pylon/monument sign intact and make non- structural improvements to the sign. If the Owner would like to install Grounds Signs in the future it will coordinate with City staff. As part of the Comprehensive Sign Plan, the owner shall not be obligated to remove and/or replace the existing site signage or, if the owner determines existing site signage be removed, that it not be obligated to install new site signage. Given this property has two main vehicular entrances, the owner shall have the option to provide a future ground sign at the Kenzie Terrace entrance in addition to the Service Drive entrance. 76 Comprehensive Sign Plan Area Calculation St. Anthony Shopping Center St. Anthony, MN 10/13/11 West Building Unitl A B C D E I F G H I 1 K L(1) M(1) Wall Length ft 141.75 17.75 5700 21.33 3317 41.00 3350 23.50 53.58 22.58 30.90 82.30 75.10 _.._ Wall Height ft 1733 - 1617 2100 _ 1617 _ 1967 . _ 2400 1967 16.00 2000 - 1600 1350 1350 1500 Wall Square Footage sf 1 J23 69 ..._ 286 96 1092 00 344 90 652 29 - 984.00 658 84 _ 376.00 1071.67 361.33 417 15 _.. 1111.05 1126.50 15/ Max Area sf-1108.55 114.00 43 04 163 80 51 74 97 84 147 60 98 83 56.40 160 75 54 20 62 57 166 66 168.98 _ Max Length with 48 Letter k 27.00 _ 10.56 39.00 12.50 24.001 30.75 24.50 74.00 40.06 13 50 15.50 30 75 28.00 48 Letter Max Square Footage sf 108 00 42 00 156 00 50.00 96 00 123.00 98 00 56.00 16000 54 00 62.00 123.00 112.00 Max.

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, the City Council of the City of St. Anthony does hereby approve the application from Kozulla & Associates, to amend the Sign Plan to the St. Anthony Shopping Sign Plan as originally adopted in 1989 and 2003. Adopted this 25th day of October, 2011 ATTEST: City Clerk Reviewed for administration: Mayor Interirn City Manager all 91 To: Jay Hartman — Interim City Manager Roger Larson — Finance Director From: Stacie Kvilvang Date: October 25, 2011 Subject: Refinancing of Public Facilities Lease Revenue Bonds, Series 2003 Overview In 2003, the City issued $5,530,000 in lease revenue bonds to finance the construction of the Fire Station and Public Works Facility. The date on which these bonds can be called (refinanced or paid off) is February 1, 2013. However, the City has the ability to complete what is called an advance refunding on any bond issue, meaning you can refinance it prior to the call date, once in the life of the bond. We are recommending moving forward with an advance refunding on this bond issue due to the very favorable interest rates within the market. In addition, we are recommending refunding these bonds as general obligation bonds to further reduce interest costs, thus increase savings to the City. Primary Issues to Consider: 1. Why are we refunding these bonds as General Obligation bonds? 2. What is the process for the issuance of these bonds? 3. What is the timeline for the issuance of these bonds? Analysis of Issues: 1. Why are we refunding these bonds as General Obligation bonds? The reason we are recommending to refinance these bonds as general obligation bonds is to further increase the annual interest savings to the City. Lease revenue bonds have a higher interest rate associated with them because the repayment is based upon a pledge of revenues, which in this case is an annual appropriation in the General Fund budget by the City. Since the bonds are not backed by the City's general obligation pledge of its taxing authority, they are viewed to be more risky because the City could choose in any year not to levy for the payment. Current interest rates on these bonds are 3.2% to 4.15%. If these bonds were refinanced as lease revenue bonds, there would not be adequate interest rate savings to justify refinancing them. Based upon refinancing the bonds as general obligation bonds, the interest rates are estimated to ``' (J QQ 3060 Centre Pointe Drive H LE RJ Roseville, MN 55113-1105 e.._.._.__..._.___...______.

In addition, lease revenue bonds require a debt service reserve fund, which the City currently maintains on the existing bonds. This amount is approximately $437,430 and was funded by the City's Water Filtration Fund. By refinancing as general obligation bonds, these funds will no longer be restricted for the City. 2. What is the process for the issuance of these bonds? In order to utilize this type of financing, the City has to prepare a 5 -Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for the refinancing which is presented at a public hearing to solicit comment and feedback from the community. Upon conclusion of the public hearing, the Council must approve the CIP via a 3/5th vote. Although a referendum is not required, a reverse referendum is allowable. If a petition bearing the signatures of at least 5 percent of the votes cast in the last general election requesting a vote on the issuance of the bonds is received by the municipal clerk within 30 days after the public hearing, a referendum vote on the issuance of the bonds shall be called (if a vote is taken and the referendum passes, the taxes would be levied on market value rather than tax capacity). It should be noted that since the reason for issuing these bonds is for interest (cost) savings to the community and tax payers, a reverse referendum petition is unlikely. 4. What is the timeline/process for the issuance of the bonds? Following is the proposed schedule for the issuance of the bonds: November 8, 2011: City Council holds public hearing at 8:00 p.m. on CIP Bonds and on Capital Improvement Plan and adopts resolution giving preliminary approval for their issuance and approving Capital Improvement Plan by at least 3/5°i of the Council members December 8, 2011: Reverse referendum period ends December 13, 2011: City Council accepts offer for Bonds and adopts resolution approving Please contact me at 651-697-8506 with any questions.
