VL GENERAL BUSINESS OF COUNCIL.
A. Presentation by Hennepin County Commissioner Linda Higgins
9 Mayor Faust introduced Hennepin County Commissioner Linda Higgins.
10
11 Commissioner Higgins reported that the Hennepin County Board has begun its 2014 budget
12 hearings that will continue until December when the final budget is passed. She advised that the
13 Board has been working on finding a site for household hazardous waste collection and the
14 County has been looking for a collection site in northeast Minneapolis for several years, however
15 the proposed site was met with resistance and the County is looking for a different site. She
16 stated the County purchased new voting equipment with many localities in the midst of elections
17 including Minneapolis that has 35 people running for mayor. She advised that a Hennepin
18 County Works project has recently started on Lowry Avenue east from the river to the city limits
19 of St. Anthony and Minneapolis and the project will look at intersections rather than wholesale
20 changes along the avenue. She reported that the County is embarking on a new round of sports
21 grants and requested that the City send her a copy of its application if it submitted a grant
22 application for this round. She thanked the City Council for inviting her to visit.
23
24 Councilinember Roth asked about the traffic barrier on Lowry Avenue east of Central Avenue.
25
26 Commissioner Higgins agreed to look into this and report back to the City.
27
28 Councilmember Stille thanked Commissioner Higgins for her presentation and stated the City
29 appreciates its relationship with Hennepin County. He expressed thanks on behalf of the
30 community and the school district for the sports grants as well as the County's work with St.
31 Anthony on the Silver Lake Road project and the library project. He indicated he has received
32 some calls from residents indicating they would like to see more grants for the arts and theater
33 and asked if the County has any grant money available for the arts.
34
35 Commissioner Higgins stated when the arts and cultural legacy sales tax was enacted, part of that
36 money goes to the arts and the grants are administered through the State Arts Board that delivers
37 grants to communities throughout the State. She added the State Historical Society also offers
38 grants for arts work that has a historical bent.
39
40 Mayor Faust stated the library is an important part of the community and commended Hennepin
41 County for taking over the Minneapolis library system. He expressed appreciation to the
42 counties for working together on hazardous recycling to make it easier for residents in the seven
43 county metro area to dispose of hazardous materials. He commended the County Board for
44 working with the City and asked that Commissioner Higgins extend the City's thanks to the
45 Board.

1 B. Appeal of City Ordinance 97.11; Decks. Mark Casey. City Manager, presenting.
2
3 City Manager Casey presented the appeal of the Pire Marshal's decision and recited § 97.11(A)
4 of the City Code that states an open flame is prohibited in any structure containing three or more
5 dwelling units and that no person shall kindle, maintain, or cause any fire or open flame on any
6 balcony above ground level or on any ground floor patio within 15' of the structure. He advised
7 that Mr. Brown questioned the City Code and the Fire Marshal replied on September 19, 2013, in
8 an email that stated "our interpretation of our existing ordinance remains the same. If a structure
9 has 3 or more dwelling units grilling is not allowed on any balconies or decks. Grilling on a
10 patio is acceptable if you can get 15 feet away from the structure." He advised that City staff
11 agrees with the Fire Marshal's interpretation, adding the ordinance applies to any structure
12 containing three or more dwelling units, whether a structure is one story or multi -storied makes
13 no difference for purposes of enforcement, and fires and open flames are prohibited on any
14 balcony above ground level and any ground floor patio within 15' of the structure; at the ground
15 level, whether it occurs on what is labeled a patio or deck or otherwise, an open flame within 15'
16 of the structure is expressly prohibited.
17
18 Mayor Faust stated that the City Manager is the City Zoning Administrator so he normally
19 handles these issues but if there is a conflict, someone can appeal to the City Council; in this
20 case, the City Council will have an opportunity to ask any questions of Mr. Casey, then Mr.
21 Brown will have an opportunity to speak and answer any questions of the City Council, and then
22 the City Council will discuss the appeal and adjudicate the issue.
23
24 Councilmember Roth asked if a side-by-side unit, e.g., a duplex, could have a patio or deck and
25 be allowed to have a gas grill.
26
27 City Manager Casey stated the interpretation of the ordinance refers to balconies or decks in
28 dwelling units of three or more.
29
30 Fire Marshall Fuller stated the Fire Code defines a structure as the outer walls and the dwelling
31 units have to be within that structure so they are combined.
32
33 Councilmember Roth noted that the ordinance as stated does not specify if a patio is a wooden or
34 cement structure or whether a patio is defined as some type of non-flammable structure and
35 requested further information about the definition of a patio.
36
37 City Manager Casey stated the City Code does not define materials comprising a patio.
38
39 Councilmember Roth asked if the City Code makes the assumption that a patio is at ground
40 level.
41
42 City Manager Casey replied in the affirmative.
43
44 Mr. Ken Brown, 3422 Silver Lane NP;, appeared before the City Council and stated that he felt
45 that § 97.11 does not apply to their situation because most of the townhomes have a deck on
46 ground level and the Code states that it prohibits decks above ground level. He stated the
47 Minnesota State Fire Code issued a fact sheet in 2003 and an "Appendix H" that the City

adopted and this fact sheet also had an option available to local jurisdictions to encourage
apartment building owners to incorporate language into their leases that prohibits 13BQ grills to
be used or stored on balconies and it was his understanding that this came about because of a
condominium fire in Minneapolis some time ago and that the emphasis has always been on
apartments and the fact sheet does not suggest what townhomes should put in their rules. He
indicated that in many of their townhomes, when you go in the front door you can proceed to go
out to a deck that realtors typically list as ground floor and not above ground level. He indicated
their concern is that they have a number of residents who grill in their garages and store their LP
tanks in the garage. He stated that the Code says if someone has a grill and the grill is hard wired
into the property's natural gas line, it only needs 18" clearance around the grill, yet you are
creating an open flame, but § 97.11 says you have to be 15' away from the structure so a person
cannot go out on their deck or patio and have a mosquito candle or light a cigarette unless they
are 15' away from building. He stated they have to go by what § 97.11 says and not what the
City would like to interpret the Code to say, which says above ground level, and that is what they
have in their development. He indicated the solution from Fire Marshall Fuller was to move 15'
away from the patio but most of their units do not have a patio, rather they have a deck on
ground level, and this is why it is clear that § 97.11 does not apply to them because they do not
have decks above ground.
Councilmember Stille asked if the City has vetted the smoking restriction on decks or patios and
asked if the City would in fact enforce this restriction.
City Manager Casey stated if the City enforced the literal interpretation of the Code as it relates
to open flames from smoking on any balcony above ground level, they would be in violation,
however, it does not appear this would be practical and did not believe they would be cited. He
stated the goal of the City Code is to achieve fire prevention and protect the health, safety, and
welfare of the community.
Councilmember Stille agreed with staff's interpretation of the Code and stated it was the City
Council's responsibility to review and thoroughly consider this matter and to err on the side of
safety in these situations. He noted that a townhome owner owns the land under the structure
and condominium owners have a common interest filing that enables someone to live in a space
and the City Code does not differentiate between the two, adding that safety trumps enjoyment in
this situation.
Councilmember Roth thanked Fire Marshal Fuller for adhering to the City Code and indicated he
was struggling with this because if two families share a common.wall, they can have a grill but if
a dwelling unit has three families, a grill is not allowed. He felt that safety is safety whether you
have two families sharing a common wall or three families sharing a common wall and
questioned whether grilling should be banned completely if that was the City's goal.
Mayor Faust stated the City Code says if someone is 15' away from the structure, they can have
a grill so the City is not taking away anyone's options. He indicated there are advantages and
disadvantages to living in combined housing and this is one of those situations where there has to
be give and take.

2014 UTILITY RATES
DATE:
OCTOBER 14, 2013
2014 Utility Rate Synopsis:
The utility rates recommended herein for 2014 reflects a multi-year approach towards
rate adjustments that began in 2012. The concept will allow for reasonable rate
adjustments that maintain an equitable sharing of costs, encourages conservation, and
retires debt. The approach and rates will be evaluated annually.
The overall impact of the recommended rates for a residential customer at each of the
five tier level ranges from 4.44% to 4.91% as detailed below:
Tier Level

2nd -15,000

Water Rates:
The April 2012 water rate discussion resulted in the multi- year approach cited
previously. Consistent with this approach, the elimination of annual transfer from the
water operations to the general fund is carried forward to 2014. The recommended 2014
rate per 1,000 gallons is $2.87, or a twelve cent increase. This represents a 4.5% increase
in rate and would be expected to generate $39,001 in additional revenues (assuming
water usage is similar to 2013). The impact on a 7,500 gallon per quarter user would be
as follows:

Sewer Rates:
The approach to sewer rates in 2012 was the same as used for the water. Consistent
with this approach, the elimination of annual transfer from the water operations to the
general fund is carried forward to 2014. The recommended 2014 rate per 1,000 gallons is
$3.99, or a twenty-one cent increase. This represents a 5.44% increase in rate. This
increase is commensurate with the increase in 2014 treatment costs provided by
Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES). The MCES 2014 rate notification
also alluded to future rate increases in treatment costs of 6-7%. The revision in rates
would be expected to generate $46,416 in additional revenues (assuming 2014 first
quarter water usage was similar to the first quarter in 2013). The impact on a 7,500
gallon per quarter user would be as follows:

Storm water Rates:
The approach to Storm water rates in 2012 was the same as used for the water and
sewer. The recommended 2013 rate per Quarter is $14.05 or a thirty-five cent increase.
This represents a 2.55% increase in rate and would be expected to generate $4,672 in
additional revenues (assuming no new construction). The impact on a residential single

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and Members of City Council
Mark Casey, City Manager
FROM: Jay R. Lindgren, City Attorney
DATE: November 12, 2013
RE: Imposing a Moratorium on the Creation, Establishment or Operation of
Businesses That Sell Electronic Cigarettes or Allow Sampling of Electronic
Cigarettes on Their Premises
It has been proposed that the City consider amending its official controls, including its
zoning code, with respect to the regulation of the sale and use of electronic cigarettes in
businesses, and that while the City is studying the matter the City Council impose a moratorium
on the creation, establishment or operation of businesses that sell electronic cigarettes and on
the sampling of electronic cigarettes on their premises.
Under Minnesota Statutes, Section 462.355, subd. 4, if the City is conducting a study or
has authorized a study for the purpose of considering amendments to its official controls, the
City Council may adopt an interim ordinance for the purpose of protecting the planning process.
The interim ordinance may regulate, restrict or prohibit any use, development or subdivision
within all or a portion of the City for a period of up to one year.
If the City Council wishes to do so, the procedure it should follow is to adopt a resolution
authorizing a study of whether it should amend its official controls, and following the adoption of
the resolution, adopt an interim ordinance under the authority of Minnesota Statutes, section
462.355, subd. 4, imposing a moratorium on the creation, establishment or operation of
businesses that sell electronic cigarettes and on the sampling of electronic cigarettes on their
premises.

ORDINANCE NO. 2013-04
AN INTERIM ORDINANCE IMPOSING A MORATORIUM ON THE CREATION,
ESTABLISHMENT OR OPERATION OF BUSINESSES THAT SELL ELECTRONIC
CIGARETTES AND ON THE SAMPLING OF ELECTRONIC CIGARETTES AND
RELATED PRODUCTS IN BUSINESSES
The City Council of the City of Saint Anthony Village (the "City") ordains as follows:
Section 1. Recitals.
a. The City Council has the power to adopt ordinances to provide for the government
and good order of the city; the prevention of crime; the protection of public and
private property; the benefit of trade and commerce; and the promotion of health,
safety, order, convenience and the general welfare.
b. Pursuant to Minnesota law authorizing cities to regulate tobacco, tobacco products
and tobacco related devices, sections 111.045 through 111.057 of the City Code
regulate the sale, possession and use of tobacco, tobacco products and tobacco related
devices. The purpose of these regulations is to enforce and further existing laws, to
protect minors against the serious effects associated with the illegal use of such
substances and devices, to protect individuals from secondhand smoke and to further
the official public policy of the State of Minnesota.
Section 111.057 of the City Code prohibits the smoking of tobacco, tobacco products
and tobacco related devices in all retail establishments.
d. Section 152.121 of the Zoning Code allows for the permitted use of pipe and tobacco
shops in the City's commercial zoning district. The Zoning Code, however, does not
specifically regulate or reference businesses that sell e -cigarettes or allow the use of
e -cigarettes on their premises.
e. Electronic cigarettes, commonly known as e -cigarettes, and other similar devices
provide new methods for nicotine delivery. Such devices heat a liquid infused with
nicotine and other ingredients, and the vapor is inhaled and exhaled like tobacco
smoke. Some, but not all, of these devices contain tobacco. Although not currently
reflective of the status quo of the City, e -cigarettes and the liquid products are
sometimes sold at locations where customers are permitted to "sample" the products
on site before purchasing them.
f. The State of Minnesota's only current regulation of e -cigarettes is Minnesota Statutes
section 609.6855, which prohibits their sale to persons under the age of 18.
Minnesota cities' regulation of e -cigarettes varies widely, including some cities
34
prohibiting their use in all public places and others treating the sale of e -cigarettes the
same as the sale of tobacco products.
g. The use and sale of e -cigarettes are recent developments, and further study and
consideration of potential effects that they might have on the public's health, safety,
order, convenience and general welfare is required to ensure that any negative
impacts can be addressed and mitigated.
It. Under Minnesota Statutes section 462.355, subd. 4, if a city has authorized a study to
be conducted for the purpose of considering amendments to its official controls, the
governing body of the city may adopt an interim ordinance for the purpose of
protecting the planning process and the health, safety and welfare of its citizens. The
interim ordinance may regulate, restrict or prohibit any use, development or
subdivision within the city or any portion thereof for a period not to exceed one year
from the date it is effective.
Section 2. Moratorium Imposed. For the purpose of protecting the planning process
while the City is conducting a study for the purpose of considering amendments to the City's
official controls, including the Zoning Code, with respect to the regulation of e -cigarettes and
similar devices, a moratorium is imposed on the creation, establishment or operation of any
business in the City that sells e -cigarettes or the liquid products used in them other than those
businesses that have current valid tobacco licenses as of the effective date of this Interim
Ordinance. Further, a moratorium is hereby imposed on any business currently licensed to sell
tobacco that also sells e -cigarettes from allowing on-site sampling of e -cigarettes and related
products. This moratorium shall remain in effect for a period of one year after the effective date
of this Interim Ordinance unless earlier terminated by the City Council. The term of this Interim
Ordinance and the moratorium issued hereby may be extended for a reasonable period of time by
Ordinance as may be necessary to complete the City's authorized study and to adopt any
necessary modifications to the City's official controls.
Section 3. Severability. Every section, provision, or part of this Interim Ordinance is
declared severable from every other section, provision, or part, and if any portion of this Interim
Ordinance is held invalid or unenforceable by a Court of competent jurisdiction, it shall not
invalidate any other section, provision or part of this Interim Ordinance.
Section 4. Effective Date. This Ordinance shall be effective as of its adoption.
PASSED AND DULY ADOPTED 12th day of November, 2013, by the City Council of the City
of Saint Anthony Village.

Date: November 4, 2013
Planning Commission Regular Meeting Held on October 28, 2013
City Council Regular Meeting for November 12, 2013
WSB Project No. 02170-030
Request: Request for a Variance from the Required Side Yard Setback in Order
to Construct a Stairway Along the North Side of the Property to Access a
Garage Attic at 3400 Harding Street NE
RECOMMENDATION
The Applicant's request for a variance to allow for a stairway within five feet of the side property line for
the purpose of providing access to attic space above the garage is reasonable and consistent with the
intent of the Zoning Ordinance and the City's Comprehensive Plan. Based on review, staff recommends
approval of the requested variance for the property located at 3400 Harding Street NE subject to the
conditions as outlined in Exhibit D.
The Planning Commission recommended approval of the requested variance with a vote of 6-0 following
a public hearing on October 28, 2013.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Applicant/Owner: Carla and Paul Peterson
Location: 3400 Harding Street NE

Deadline for Agency Application Date: 10-02-13
Action: 60 Days: 11-30-13
Letter Sent: N/A
120 Days: 01-29-13
CONSIDERATIONS RELATING TO THE PROPOSED VARIANCE
1. Background
The property owners wish to construct a stairway adjacent to the north side of their garage leading to
the attic above their garage. They wish to finish the attic so that it may be used as an art studio,
which is the occupation of Mr. Peterson. While the business for which Mr. Peterson works for is not
out of the home (i.e. a home occupation), the art studio space would allow adequate room for him to
work on his pieces which would be transported to an off-site location for viewing and sale. A second
41
42
November 4, 2013
Page 2
story door is planned to be installed on the north side of the garage, which would be accessed by the
proposed stairway.
The attached garage is currently five feet from the side (north) lot line and the stairway would extend
four feet out from the garage, leaving one foot between the steps and the side lot line. The Zoning
Code allows for steps to encroach into required side yards up to five feet, so long as they are at least
five feet from any property line. The Applicants have explored other options for providing access to
the space which would not require a variance, but have found the proposed solution to be the most
reasonable.
One option considered by the Applicant included locating the art studio in the basement of the home,
however the basement is a finished basement and the Applicant has indicated that a significant
investment would be required to create a space within the basement that would be sufficient for the
nature of work done by the Applicant. Additionally, the conversion of finished floor area within the
basement would eliminate space currently used by the Applicant's as part of their living space. The
Applicants have indicated that finishing off space in the garage attic would allow for an economic
opportunity for Mr. Peterson to work from home but not impact their existing living space.
A second option considered by the Applicant includes constructing the stairway within the existing
attached garage space, however the way the roof line is constructed would make it difficult to provide
adequate access to the attic space without a significant remodel of the roof pitch (to allow enough
head room along the back or side of the garage) or would place the stairway in the middle of the
garage. Furthermore, Section § 152.179 (A) (5)(a) of the Zoning Code states that "Single-family
detached units must have at least 2 fully enclosed parking spaces". Having a stairway within the
existing 2 -car attached garage would eliminate one or both enclosed parking spaces, thus creating a
nonconformity.
Another option considered by the Applicant included the construction of a stairway along the rear
(west) side of the attached garage. In this scenario, significant changes to the layout and construction
of the roof and attic space would need to occur in order to gain adequate access to the attic from this
side of the garage.
2. Applicable Code.
Title XV Land Usage, Chapter 152 Zoning Code, Section § 152.177 Encroachments in Yards (E)
states that "terraces, steps, stoops, uncovered porches, and patios which extend into a side yard not
more than 5 feet and are not closer than 5 feet from any property line" shall be a permitted
encroachment.
3. Criteria for and Consistency with Criteria for Variance Approval. Title XV Land Usage, Chapter
152 'Zoning Code, Section § 152.245, (C) Evidence, lists the criteria the City Council must consider in
determining whether to grant or deny a variance. The applicable criteria include:
1. The subject matter of the application is within the scope of this section.
The application for a variance is necessary considering the proposed steps are located closer to
the side lot line than is allowed by the Zoning Code. Criteria met.
2. Strict enforcement would cause practical difficulties because:
a. The property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not per» ritted
by the zoning code,-
The
ode;
The property owners propose to make reasonable use of the attic above of the garage by
using it as an art studio. In order to use the space for this purpose, a new point of entry is
needed. Building a staircase on the north side of the garage provides the most reasonable
point of entry. Criteria met.
November 4, 2013
Page 3
b. The plight of the property owner is due to circumstances unique to the property not
created by the property owner;
'file existing garage is currently five feet from the side property line. "Therefore, there is
no way the proposed staircase could be constructed on the north side of the property in a
way to meet the code. Other options available to the property owners would be to
construct the staircase inside the garage, which would result in the loss of at least one, if
not both of the required enclosed parking spaces. Constructing the staircase on the west
side of the garage would require significant modifications to the structure to allow for a
door. Criteria met.
c. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality; and
Allowing the proposed stairway is not perceived to have more of an impact on the
essential character of the locality than if the stairway were constructed alongside the
garage in a location that did meet the zoning code setback requirements. If the staircase
was five feet off the side property line, it would not require a variance, but it would create
the same visual impression on the neighborhood as it will in this instance. The stairway
is narrow (4 -feet wide) and will not detract from the visual aesthetic of the neighborhood.
The Applicant has expressed that the neighbor to the north is not opposed to the proposed
staircase. Criteria met.
d. L;conornic considerations alone are not the basis of the practical dtfficerlties.
The basis for the practical difficulties is that the garage is already constructed five feet
from the side lot line and does not allow for steps to be constructed in a way that would
comply with the Zoning Code. The other options available would either result in a
parking space being lost within the garage, which is a requirement of the Code, or require
that significant modifications be done to the garage to accommodate for the second story
door. While economic considerations are a factor, it is not perceived that they are the sole
basis of the practical difficulty. Criteria met.
3. The variance, ifgranted, would be consistent with the city's comprehensive land use plan.
If the variance is granted the use of the property would remain the same land use as it is today.
The Applicant is not proposing (nor would they be allowed) to house their business out of the
space; rather utilize it for a studio to provide work for his business with off-site sales. The
comprehensive plan guides this area for single family use and adding the steps will not after that
use. Criteria met.
4. The granting of the variance is in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the zoning
code.
The intent of the zoning 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 zoning code is established to:
a. Protect the use districts;
The proposal would not change the use of the property or create a disruption to the
Single -Family Residential District. The current use (and proposed use) as a single-
farnily home is consistent with the City Code. Criteria met.
b. Promote orderly development and redevelopment;
The proposal seeks to make an improvement to the property by allowing the property
owners to make use of the space above their garage. The proposed steps would not be
detrimental to the neighboring property. Criteria met.
c. Provide adequate light, air, and access to property;
43
44 November 4, 2013
Page 4
'rhe proposal would not negatively impact adequate light or air from reaching the
property or adjacent properties. The proposed steps will extend four feet from the side of
the garage and be nine feet high. In addition, the space below the steps will not be
enclosed, allowing light and air to pass through the steps and around the posts. Although
the steps will be within the required setback from the side lot line, they should not
prevent adequate light or air from reaching adjacent property, which is the garage side of
the neighboring home. Criteria met.
d. prevent congestion in the public streets;
The proposal will have no impact oil the amount of congestion in the public sheet.
Criteria met.
e. prevent overcrowding of land and undue concentration of structures by regulating land,
buildings, yards, and densities;
Allowing the requested variance will not result in overcrowding of the land or an Undue
concentration of structures. The steps would not impact the amount of impervious
surface on the property. The steps will not be higher than the existing principal structure
and are not significant in terms of massing. Although the steps will be within the
required setback from the side lot line, they should not result in an overcrowding of
structures. The Applicant has indicated to staff that the adjacent property owners have
also stated his support for the proposed variance. Criteria met.
f provide for compatibility of different land uses;
The proposal will not result in a change of land use, nor will it conflict with adjacent land
uses. Criteria met.
CONCLUSIONS
If the existing home were located further off of the side lot tine than it is today, the reality is that the
stairway could have been constructed without the need for a variance, thus resulting in the same visual
impression within the neighborhood. While alternatives do exist for locating the steps on the property in
such a way that would not require the need for a variance, staff feels the Applicants' request for a
variance is "reasonable" given the limitation of the other alternatives, and that the variance will not
adversely affect the surrounding property or the Applicants' property.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Request Additional Information and Continue the Meeting. The Applicant appears to have
provided enough information for the City Council to approve or deny the request. Should the City
Council request additional information from the Applicant, the City Council should continue the
meeting until a later time.
2. Approval (with or without conditions) of the Variance. In the event of a vote for approval
(with or without conditions), the City Council may refer to Exhibit D and may modify the draft
resolution for approval to include any conditions that it deems necessary.
3. Denial of the Variance. In the event the City Council denies of the requested variance, it should
clearly state its reasons for the denial and direct staff to prepare a resolution to be brought back at
the next meeting.

Dcar Review Committee:
We recently purchased the home lotated at 3400 Harding Suet NIS and tt=ish to finish
unused garage attic space for use as an an studio. In order for this space to be used tin'
our intended purpose. a nety point of entry is needed. We v,ould like to build a deck -like
staircase on the north side orthe garage. tt�hich would alhrw access to the attic studio,
Linfortunately. the home is already placed on the north side of our pruperty, located just
rite feet (gain the northern property line. Strict enforcement of pruperty zoning would
not alloty us to build the staircase needed. The north side of the garage is the only
possible location for an external staircase. Building a staiI ase inside our garage would
be nurch more cued), acid would reduce the value ofour home due to loss ofat least one
M garage stall.
Adding an external staircase "Al not change the character of our home or the homes
around us, I hope that you twill consider granting us a variance to build the stairs. which
(trill allow us to build our an studio and my husband space to continue his work as an
artist.
Sincerely.

RESOLUTION 13-072
RESOLUTION APPROVING A VARIANCE FROM THE REQUIRED SIDE
YARD SETBACK IN ORDER TO CONSTRUCT A STAIRWAY 1 -FOOT FROM
THE PROPERTY LINE ALONG THE NORTH SIDE OF THE PROPERTY TO
ACCESS A GARAGE ATTIC ON THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT
3400 HARDING STREET NE
WHEREAS, the City of St. Anthony Village received a request from the
Applicants Paul and Carla Peterson for a variance from the side yard setback to allow a
stairway to be constructed along the north side of the property located at 3400Iarding
Street NE (PID 0602923240038) on October 2, 2013, legally described as follows:
Lot 3, Block 4 Belden Ro
WHEREAS, the Applicant has requested a 4 -foot variance from the side yard
setback to allow for the stairway to be constructed l -foot from the north property line;
and
WHEREAS, the existing home is located 5 -feet from the north property line; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission acting as the Board of Adjustments and
Appeals, reviewed and considered the request based on the related documents shown in
the Applicant's application in a public hearing at their regular meeting on October 28,
2013; and
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
St. Anthony Village approves the Applicant's variance request based on the following
findings:
The requested variance is consistent with all the standards for granting a
variance as described in Section §152.245 of the St. Anthony Village Zoning
Code. More specifically, the City Council finds that the requested variance is
justified for the following reasons:
a. The property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner.
The steps will allow them to make reasonable use of the space above their
garage as an art studio.
b. The existing garage is currently five feet from the side (north) property
line. Therefore, there is no way the proposed stairway could be
constructed on the north side of the property in a way to meet the Zoning
Code. Other options available to the property owners would be to
construct the staircase inside the garage, which would result in the loss of
at least one parking space, which would violate the code requirement of
providing at least two enclosed parking spaces. Constructing the staircase
74
on the west side of the garage would require significant modifications to
the structure to allow for a door access to the attic.
c. Allowing the proposed staircase will have no impact on the essential
character of the locality. If the stairway was five feet off the side property
line, it would not require a variance. The stairway is narrow and will not
detract from the visual aesthetic of the neighborhood. The neighbor to the
north is not opposed to the proposed staircase.
d. The basis for the practical difficulties is that the garage is already
constructed five feet from the side lot line and does not allow for steps to
be constructed in a way that would comply with the Zoning Code. The
other options available would either result in a parking space being lost
within the garage or require that significant modifications be done to the
garage to accommodate for the second story door.
e. If the variance is granted the use of the property would remain the same
land use as it is today. The comprehensive plan guides this area for single
family use and adding the stairway will not alter that use.
f. The proposal would not change the use of the property or create a
disruption to the Single -Family Residential District. The current use as a
single-family home is consistent with the City Code.
g. The proposal seeks to make an improvement to the property by allowing
the property owners to make use of the space above their garage. The
proposed stairway would not be detrimental to the neighboring property.
h. The proposal would not negatively impact adequate light or air from
reaching the property or adjacent properties. The proposed stairway will
extend only four feet from the side of the garage and be nine feet high. In
addition, the space below the steps will not be enclosed, allowing light and
air to pass through the steps and around the posts. Although the steps will
be within the required setback from the side lot line, they should not
prevent adequate light or air from reaching adjacent property.
Allowing the variance is in harmony with the general purposes and intent
of the City's Code relating to preventing congestion in public streets. The
project will have no impact on congestion.
Allowing the requested variance will not result in overcrowding of the
land or an undue concentration of structures. The stairway would not
impact the amount of impervious surface on the property. The stairway
will not be higher than the existing principal structure and are not
significant in terms of massing. Although the stairway will be within the
required setback from the side lot line, they will not result in an
overcrowding of structures. The adjacent property owner has also stated
his support for the proposed variance.
k. Allowing the variance is in harmony with the general purposes and intent
of the City's Code to provide for compatibility of different land uses. The
project will have no impact on land use compatibility.
APPROVED in the regular session of the City Council on this 12°i day of November,
2013.

Request:
Amendment to Chapter §152.176, §152.179 and §152.180 of the Saint
Anthony Village City Code Relating to Accessory Buildings and
Driveways
OVERVIEW
It is beneficial to review sections of the City Code on a regular basis in order to identify potential issues
before they are found through a request or land use application. In addition, it ensures that the City Code
is reflective of what is desired for the community. Following a cursory review of the City's Zoning
Ordinance, staff created a list of code provisions to review and potentially update, to be reviewed by the
Planning Commission. At the regular meeting of the Planning Commission on January 28, 2013, the
Planning Commission reviewed this list and created a "Work Plan".
The Work Plan is a schedule of objectives established by the Planning Commission, which provides an
efficient method of prioritizing projects and achieving the most important goals of the Planning
Commission and the community. Among potential projects in 2013, the Planning Commission prioritized
a list of projects they would like to work on. The City Council, at their regular meeting on April 12, 2013,
approved the Work Plan as presented by the Planning Commission.
Item #1 on the Planning Commission Work Plan is to "review accessory buildings/structure standards"
and item #3 is to "review residential driveway standards". The ordinance is expected to provide clarity
and predictability while ensuring accessory buildings and driveways may be installed in a manner that
allows for effective use of individuals property. Further, the standards are intended to ensure that these
buildings are installed in a manner that would not unduly affect community character. The proposed text
amendment would:
• Provide clarity for City staff as well as contractors and property owners; and
• Set standards for accessory buildings and driveways throughout the City.
The proposed text amendment provides for an administrative review process. For accessory buildings or
driveways that do not or cannot comply with the new standards a request for a variance would be needed.
Staff discussed proposed amendments with the Planning Commission at a work session on June 14, 2013
and with the City Council on July 30, 2013 and August 28, 2013.
A public hearing was held at the regular meeting of the Planning Commission on October 28, 2013 where
the Planning Commission recommended approval and adoption of the ordinance with a vote of 6-0.
NEXT STEPS
Staff has prepared a draft Ordinance for your review and adoption. The double underlined text shows the
additions and the str-i ethr-nugh ,ext. shows the deletions.

REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Meeting Date: November 12, 2013
Resolution 13-073; a Resolution to Allow the City of St. Anthony Village to Re -Open the
Three (3) Union Contracts for 2014 Health Insurance Premiums and Authorize the Mayor
and City Manager to Execute Such Contracts
REVIEW:
During the last negotiated session, the City of St. Anthony's Police, Fire and Public Works
Union Contracts were negotiated with a health insurance re -opener clause for 2014. The re -
opener was necessary due to the unknown 2014 Health Insurance Premium cost. The 13.3%
premium increase was on average divided equally between the City and employees. The
