in the Side Yard and Closer to the Principal Structure than allowed by the Zoning
Ordinance on the Property Located at 2909 Silver Lake Court. Paul Cincoski, Planning
Commissioner, presenting
6 Planning Commissioner Cincoski explained that the applicant is requesting a variance to allow a
7 7' x 7' x 8.5' shed in the side yard and closer to the principal structure than allowed by the Code.
8 He stated the applicant wishes to locate the shed in the side yard to avoid grading on the lake
9 side of the property and to preserve the view from the lake. He advised the shed would be
10 located within 2.5' from the eave of the home and the Code requires accessory structures to be at
11 least 5' from the principal structure. He stated the subject matter of the application is within the
12 scope of the variance process, the property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable
13 manner, and the shed will be used to store lawn and garden equipment. Ile stated the property
14 owner has limited space on the southwest side of the home and cannot meet the side yard setback
15 without encroaching into the required setback from the principal structure. He indicated the
16 variance will not alter the character of the locality, the shed will be well screened and have
17 minimal impact to adjacent properties; in addition, economic considerations are not the basis of
18 the practical difficulties, the variance is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan, and the
19 variance is in harmony with the intent of the Zoning Code. He stated the use of the property as a
20 single family home will remain, the proposal seeks to improve the property, the proposal will not
21 negatively impact adequate light or air from reaching the property or adjacent property, the
22 proposal will have no impact on congestion in the public street, the proposal will not result in
23 overcrowding of land, and the proposal will not conflict with adjacent land uses.

Re: New Brighton and St. Anthony Petition to Rice Creek Watershed District for Basic Water
Management Project - St. Anthony Village, MN
Dear Honorable Mayor, City Council, and Staff:
St. Anthony and New Brighton have been working with the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD)
to develop a response to the July, 2011 flood event. Based on these discussions, a Resolution has
been prepared for your consideration petitioning the RCWD to establish a phased Basic Water
Management Project. "chis Petition allows RCWD to undertake the following phased approach to the
July 2011 flood event:
Phase 1: Identify and analyze current conditions, challenges and opportunities related to
stormwater management and flood damage within the Cities and make recommendations for
actions likely to address comprehensive stormwater management and flood damage issues
within the Cities and those downstream areas affected by stormwater runoff including Pike
and Long Lake;
Phase 2: Develop a regional, comprehensive stormwater management and flood damage
reduction plan, to include water quality features, which identifies capital improvements and
other actions to be undertaken by the Cities and the Rice Creek Watershed District;
Phase 3: Develop implementation timelines and priorities, costs allocations and revenue
generation methods for both implementation and long term maintenance of capital
improvements and water quality features;
Phase 4: hnplement one or more of the project components identified in Phase 2 as a
coordinated series of capital improvements by the Cities and the Rice Creek Watershed
District;
The attached petition is limited to the actions set forth in Phase 1 above until such time as the Cities,
individually orjointly, amend this petition to proceed with subsequent actions contained in Phases 2 -
4.
New Brighton and St. Anthony request that the Rice Creek Watershed District initiate a phased
petition approach, by directing its engineer to evaluate the Cities' 2011 Flood Reports and further
identify stormwater management, flood damage reduction and water quality opportunities to be

f. Identifying detailed processes, including permitting, regulatory issues, and relevant local
approval processes.
The RCWD has limited funding available for this project and requested the City bring forth a petition
for this project. This petition will compel the RCWD to consider this project and identify a finding
source such as a district wide levy. The Cities request, as part of their petition, that the Rice Creek
Watershed District exercise it full authorities for generating revenues for the implementation of the
petitioned project.
This petition is authorized by resolutions of each of the City Councils authorizing their respective
Mayors and City Managers to sign and submit this petition as the action of each City.
The phased approach will build on the Flood Investigation completed by WSB & Associates, Inc.
Some of these options under consideration related to St. Anthony may include:
1. Construct new outlet and increase flood storage in Mirror Lake
2. Reconfigure County Road D storm sewer to drain Mirror Lake
3. Increase storm sewer capacity in County Ditch No. 2 leaving St. Anthony
4. Install backflow preventer at Foss Road (completed 2012)
5. Flood proof impacted homes
The attached map shows the general area included in this petition and some potential downstream
improvements that may be considered.

STATE Or MINNESOTA
RICE CREEK WATERSHED DISTRICT
The matter of the petition of the Cities of New
Brighton and Saint Anthony for a Basic Water
Management Project to address stormwater
management and flooding within the Cities of
New Brighton and Saint Anthony
Petition for Watershed Project
Petitioners Cities of New Brighton and Saint Anthony, for their petition to the Board of
Managers of the Rice Creek Watershed District state and request the following:
1. In July of 2011 the Cities experienced historic rainfall and associated flooding. The
events highlighted existing flood risks and caused the Cities to evaluate the adequacy of existing
stormwater conveyance and management facilities in the Cities.
2. Fach City relies upon public drainage systems, managed by the Rice Creek Watershed
District as the Drainage Authority, as the ultimate, downstream outlet for storinwater. In most
cases the public drainage systems serve as the direct outlets for the Cities' municipal stormwater
infrastructure. The specific public drainage systems are Ramsey County Ditches 2, 3 and 5,
which are interconnected to a series of lakes, the prominent being Pike Lake and Long Lake.
3. As a result of the flooding, each City requested engineering review of the adequacy of the
conveyance infrastructure and the adequacy of existing flood storage provided by the drainage
systems and an investigation of improvements that could be pursued to reduce future flooding of
the impacted areas.
4. The Cities' engineering consultant, WSB & Associates, Inc., prepared reports for each
City entitled "2011 Flood: Investigation and Stormwater Modeling Report." A copy of each
report is appended and incorporated into this Petition by reference.
5. The report for the City of New Brighton identified specific drainage improvements to
reduce future flooding at an approximate opinion of cost of $8.7 million.
6. The report for the City of Saint Anthony identified specific drainage improvements to
reduce future flooding at an approximate opinion of cost of $1.7 to 3 million.
7. 'The spatial extent of the analysis within these reports terminated at the City boundaries,
excluding an analysis of the potential downstream consequences of the drainage improvements.
8. The costs also only consider the specific improvements identified for selected areas
within the specific cities that experienced flooding in the summer of 2011 and did not consider
22
improvements for several other areas that also experienced or a prone to flooding and associated
damages or the downstream consequences.
9. Both Cities are also subject to requirements of the National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDCS) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer (MS4S) permit and need to show
reasonable progress for improving stormwater runoff water quality. The Rice Creek Watershed
District shares the interest in improving water quality. The reports prepared by the Cities
excluded an analysis of the potential water quality benefits of the improvements.
10. On February 4, 2013, the City of New Brighton received a petition for the maintenance of
"Pike Lake channel". Pike Lake channel is a downstream extent of Ramsey County Ditch 2
between Pike and Long Lakes. The City of New Brighton's 2011 Flood: Investigation and
Stormwater Modeling Report noted specific alteration of the Pike Lake channel as one action
evaluated to provide stormwater management and flood control.
1 1. Rather than a series of individual, un -integrated projects, the Cities seek to develop a
comprehensive and integrated approach to stormwater management, flood damage reduction, and
water quality enhancement within the Cities and, therefore, seek to partner with various entities,
including the Rice Creek Watershed District, for the purpose of developing a comprehensive
strategy that implements a series of project components to achieve reasonable stormwater
management and flood damage reduction objectives.
12. The Cities acknowledge that some components of a comprehensive strategy fall solely
within the purview of the Cities, while others fall within the regional management focus of the
Rice Creek Watershed District-- including the management of public drainage systems as the
ultimate, downstream outlet for stormwater and primary conveyance infrastructure. The Cities
and the RCWD share interest in enhancing water quality.
13. 'rhe Cities believe that a comprehensive system of pro -active drainage system
maintenance, repair or improvement; the creation of stormwater retention, detention and storage;
BMPs for rate and volume controls and water quality improvement for development and
redevelopment, as well as active and passive flood proofing/damage reduction methods is
required to achieve reasonable stormwater management and flood damage reduction objectives.
14. The Cities, therefore, petition the Rice Creek Watershed District to establish a phased
Basic Water Management Project for the following purposes:
a. Phase 1: Identifying and analyzing current conditions, challenges and
opportunities related to stormwater management and flood damage within the
Cities and making recommendations of actions likely to address comprehensive
stormwater management and flood damage issues within the Cities and those
downstream areas affected by stormwater runoff including Pike and Long Lake;
b. Phase 2: Developing a regional, comprehensive stormwater management and
flood damage reduction plan, to include water quality features, which identifies
capital improvements and other actions to be undertaken by the Cities and the
Rice Creek Watershed District;
23
c. Phase 3: Developing implementation timelines and priorities, costs allocations
and revenue generation methods for both implementation and long term
maintenance of capital improvements and water quality features;
d. Phase 4: Implementing one or more of the project components identified in Phase
2 as a coordinated series of capital improvements by the Cities and the Rice Creek
Watershed District;
15. This petition is limited to the actions set forth in paragraph 14.a. above until such time as
the Cities, individually or jointly, amend this petition to proceed with subsequent actions
contained in paragraph 14.b. — d.
16. Because this petition is being submitted by the governing body of a city, no bond is
required under Statutes Section 103D.705, Subdivision 3. However, each of the Cities must pay
one-half of all costs and expenses that may be incurred in the proceedings for the proposed Basic
Water Management Project if the proceedings are dismissed or a construction or implementation
contract is not awarded for all or a portion of the project.
17. Subject to the provisions of Statutes Section 103D.705, Subdivisions 3 & 4, the Cities
may dismiss this petition or any amendment hereof. Failure to amend the petition to authorize a
subsequent phase of the project shall be deemed a dismissal of the petition.
18. This petition is conditioned upon the following process to be followed by the Rice Creek
Watershed District in implementing project phases:
a. Pre -coordination: The Cities and the Rice Creek Watershed District shall meet at
the initiation of any project phase to establish a scope of work and anticipated
cost.
b. Study/Component Development: The Rice Creek Watershed District, in
consultation with City staff shall prepare all studies and develop project features
consistent with project phases and purposes described in paragraph 14. Project
study and component development shall culminate with a joint presentation to the
City Councils of the outcomes and recommendations of the Rice Creek
Watershed District.
o, Concurrence/Petition Amendment: The City Councils, considering the
information and recommendations presented by the Rice Creek Watershed
District, shall concur or not concur with one or more of the recommendations and
either authorize petition amendment to proceed with a subsequent phase of the
project or dismiss the petition.
19. This petition is authorized by separate resolution of the City Councils authorizing their
respective Mayors and City Managers to sign and submit this petition as the action of each City.
20. The proposed Basic Water Management Project will be conducive to the public health,
safety, convenience and welfare of the Cities and their residents as well as regional providers and
consumers of goods and services within the Cities.
24
21. The Cities, by action of their individual Councils, concur in the Rice Creek Watershed
District's exercise of alternative authority to maintain and improve public drainage systems
within the Cities as provided in Minnesota Statutes Section 103D.621, subd. 4.
22. The Cities request, as part of their petition, that the Rice Creek Watershed District
exercise it full authorities for generating revenues for the implementation of the petitioned
project.
23. The Cities further request that the Rice Creek Watershed District initiate Phase 1, as
described in paragraph 14, by directing its engineer to evaluate the Cities' 2011 Flood:
Investigation and Stormwater Modeling Reports and further identify stormwater management,
flood damage reduction and water quality opportunities to be further developed in Phase 2, if so
authorized by amendment to this Petition.
24. Phase 1 actions may include but are not limited to:
a. Confirming of the study area;
b. Establishing pro ect goals and objectives;
C. Establishing design criteria and standards;
d. Reviewing the WSB reports and identify modeling approach and process needed
for more detailed investigation;
e. Developing concepts for BMPs / projects and agreement on what will be looked
at in more detail in subsequent phases;
f. Identifying detailed processes, including permitting, regulatory issues, and
relevant local approval processes.
25. All actions described in this Petition are intended to support and be implemented as part
of a petitioned Basic Water Management Project of the Rice Creek Watershed District.
26. This petition may be executed in counterparts.

NSCC Item IV.A
July 7, 2013
to: Commissioners
from: Cor Wilson, Executive Director
subject: Recommendation to Extend Cable Television Franchises
Preparation of the Request for Renewal Proposal (RFRP) and
associated documents has taken longer than anticipated, partly due to the time
taken for rate order settlement discussions, responses to the Comcast appeal of
the rate orders to the Federal Communications Commission, and our appeal of
Comcast's effective competition petition to the FCC and partly due to the
complexity of the documentation of the RFRP. As a result, we thought it prudent
to discuss with Emmett Coleman whether the company would be willing to
consider extension of the current franchises, and they were.
Initially, we considered a six-month extension, primarily because
the company and the City of St. Paul had prepared a franchise extension
agreement for that length of time. However, Steve Guzzetta developed a
timeline for the formal renewal process that included, at Comcast's request, up to
four months for the company to respond to the RFRP and, according to the
federal renewal regulations, up to four months for us to review and make a
recommendation on the proposal, and it became clear that six months would be
insufficient to complete the formal renewal process if we followed it all the way
through. A copy of the timeline is attached for your information. In addition, each
of the 10 cities would have to adopt a resolution or ordinance extending its
franchise, and we did not want to have to go back to the cities again in six
months.
Emmett Coleman and his colleagues at Comcast agreed with our
assessment and with our recommendation for a 12 -month extension of the
franchises. They have reviewed the attached extension agreement, which will
have to be adopted by each of the cities, and have deemed it acceptable.
I want to emphasize that we still hope to conclude franchise
renewal negotiations using the informal process well before the end of this
extension.
Action Requested: Motion to recommend that the member cities
adopt the resolution extending the term of the cable television franchise
ordinance and agreement held by Comcast of Minnesota, Inc.

informally on a dual track with the formal process (if yes, the timeline
may need to be extended to accommodate the informal process)

based on Comcast proposal)
a. See if Comcast is interested in settling and reaching renewal
informally (if no prior informal renewal) on a dual track with the
formal process (if yes, the timeline may need to be extended to

extension period expires on November 23, 2014.
