Discussion Item: 1
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Debt Model and Upcoming 2017 Bond Issue Review
RECOMMENDED ACTION: No action required. In addition to discussing a proposed 2017
bond issue, Staff desires to review with the Council a comprehensive debt modeling tool created
by the Finance Division staff.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does the City Council wish to proceed with the bond issuance
for the 2017 projects?
SUMMARY: Annually, as a best practice, staff would like to review a newly created and
interactive 10-year debt model for upcoming bond issuances. While things will change, the debt
model is flexible enough for long-term planning purposes to forecast future issuances and amounts
needed based on identified projects in the capital improvement plan (CIP) and potential impacts.
Staff will present the updated debt model and go over assumptions used.
2017 bond issuance amounts are subject to change since not all bids have yet been awarded. The
anticipated bond issue in 2017 would include the following:
General Obligation Improvement Bonds – Connect the Park (est. $2.5million)
General Obligation Utility Revenue Bonds – Filter #4 project (est. $1million) based on anticipated
amount expended in 2017 and the remaining will be issued in 2018.
General Obligation Utility Revenue Bonds – Water and Sewer capital projects (est. $3.9million)
General Obligation Improvement Bonds – SWLRT and Fiber (est. $1million)
By staying under $10 million, the bonds will be bank qualified. In addition, Ehlers will examine if
the City can refund any existing bonds for interest rate savings. The process to issue the 2017
bonds will begin over the next two months. Future action is on May 15th where the council would
be asked to approve the pre-sale report/resolution and on June 19th award the bond sale via
resolution.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: 2017 projects are identified in the Capital
Improvement Plan and awarded contracts.
VISION CONSIDERATION: Not applicable.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: 2017 St. Louis Park Board of Appeal & Equalization
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Mayor to convene the meeting as follows:
1. Convene the St. Louis Park Local Board of Appeal and Equalization
2. Roll Call of Board Members – Declaration of Quorum
3. Motion to Appoint Chair
4. Acknowledgement of Trained Members (Mavity, Lindberg & Brausen)
5. a. Accept Roster of Appellants
b. Call for Any Additional Appellants
c. Motion to Close Roster of Appellants (subject to DOR instructions)
6. Motion to set Date and Time for Continued Proceedings (Reconvene)
Suggested as May 15, 2017 prior to special study session
7. Instruct Assessor to:
a. Inform Appellants of Reconvene Date & Board Process via Telephone and Mail
b. Inform Appellants of the County Board Application Date (May 17 deadline)
c. Re-Inspect and Re-Appraise Parcels Under Appeal
8. Completion of the Local Board Certification Form
9. Motion to Recess
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Local Boards and/or Open Book Meetings are required by law.
The Board must conclude its business within 20 days of convening (the convene date of May 1 is
day one, May 20 is therefore the deadline for completion).
SUMMARY: Minnesota statute requires that all properties are valued at full market value. All
property owners, tenants and those having an interest in real property are entitled to appeal their
classification and market value. The property classification is determined by the actual use of
the property. The market value is an opinion based on records maintained for every property and
the market conditions as of the date of assessment (January 2).
In most jurisdictions and following our historic practice, the St. Louis Park Board of Appeal and
Equalization is accomplished in two meetings. The first meeting is used to convene the Board, set
the Board process, accept the roster of appeals and announce that appeals are resolved at the
reconvene meeting. The second meeting (reconvene) is used to hear and decide the merit of each
appeal. The Local Board process depends on active participation from all parties involved
including the board members, the property owner and assessing staff.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: Not applicable for budgeting from the
perspective of the taxing jurisdictions. Changes made by the Board may affect the property
owner’s share of the total property tax budget levy in the Pay 2018 tax period.
VISION CONSIDERATION: Not applicable.

LBAE Meeting of May 1, 2017 Page 2
Title: 2017 St. Louis Park Board of Appeal & Equalization
SUMMARY OF DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
LOCAL BOARD OF APPEAL AND EQUALIZATION
Most of the responsibilities listed under the Local Board of Appeal and Equalization are statutory,
primarily found in Minnesota Statutes 274.01.
• The valuation notices shall be in writing and be sent by ordinary mail at least ten calendar days
before the meeting of the board. The valuation notice will include the dates, places and times
set for the meetings of the Local Board of Appeal and Equalization as well as the Hennepin
County Board of Appeal and Equalization.
• The City Clerk shall give published and posted notice of the meeting at least ten days before
the meeting. The meetings must be held between April 1 and May 31 including reconvene
meetings. The board must complete its work and adjourn within 20 days from the time of
convening stated in the notice of the clerk, i.e. calendar days – original date is day one.
• The Local Board of Appeal and Equalization is an official public meeting similar to a City
Council meeting and cannot convene without a quorum. The local assessor, the county
assessor, or one of his/her assistants is required to attend.
• At least one member present at each meeting of the Local Board of Appeal and Equalization
must be certified as having completed the DOR Board of Appeal and Equalization training.
The compliance date is December 1 of the year prior to the current year’s meeting.
• The board should run the meeting as a fair and impartial review of the appeals. The property
owner is the appellant and the assessing staff act as the respondent. The board may ask
questions to clarify facts and background on the appeal. It is suggested that all appeals are
heard before the Board begins deliberations on each.
• Local Boards of Appeal and Equalization must see that all taxable property is properly valued
and classified for the current assessment year only. The board does not have the authority to
reopen prior assessments on which taxes are due and payable. The board may add a property
to the assessment roll if it has been omitted.
• Individual board members cannot participate in actions or discussions of appeals involving
their own property, property of relatives, or property in which they have a financial interest.
• The Local Board may not increase or decrease all assessments in a district of a given class of
property. Changes by class may be made by the County Board of Equalization.
• The Local Board may not make a market value or classification change that would benefit the
property in cases where the owner or other person having control over the property will not
permit the assessor to inspect the property and the interior of any buildings or structures.
• Although the Local Board of Appeal and Equalization has the authority to increase or decrease
individual assessments, the total of such adjustment must not reduce the aggregate assessment
by more than one percent. If the total reductions would exceed one percent, none of the
adjustments may be made. The assessor shall correct any clerical errors or double assessments
discovered by the board without regard to the one percent limitation.
LBAE Meeting of May 1, 2017 Page 3
Title: 2017 St. Louis Park Board of Appeal & Equalization
• If an assessment was made after the local board meeting or if a taxpayer can establish not
having received the notice of market value at least five days before the meeting, they can appeal
to the County Board of Appeal and Equalization.
• The board may find instances of undervalued properties. The board must notify the owner of
the property that the value is going to be raised. The property owner must have the opportunity
to appear before the board if they so wish.
• The local boards do not have the authority to address exemption issues. Only the county
assessor (and the tax court) has the authority to exempt property. They also have no jurisdiction
over special programs for which an application process is required (Veterans Exclusion,
Market Value Homestead Exclusion, Green Acres, etc.).
• A taxpayer may appear in person, by council, or written communication to present his or her
objection to the board. The focus of the appeal must center on the factors influencing the
estimated market value or classification placed on the property.
• All changes will be entered into the assessment record by the county assessor’s office.
• Before adjourning, the local board should prepare an official list of the changes. The law
requires that the changes be listed on a separate form. All assessments that have been increased
or decreased should be shown on the form along with their market values.
• Administrative Rules from the Department of Revenue beginning with the 2013 Local Board
of Review: The Assessor may not make administrative changes to the valuation or
classification less than 10 days prior to the Board. All contemplated changes should be brought
to the Board for review and approval. Each appeal must be ruled on separately.
• Directive from the Department of Revenue beginning with the 2015 Local Board of Review:
assessing staff from Hennepin County will attend Local Board meetings.
• Directive from the Department of Revenue (April 2017) – the Board is required to hear appeals
from those who show up at the reconvene meeting. A comment: It has been the practice of the
St. Louis Park Board to close the roster at the completion of the published meeting date – the
new DOR directive effectively eliminates roster closure until adjourned. To comply with the
DOR directive it is recommended that the Board decide last moment appeals on a case-by-
case basis which may be as simple as acknowledging the appeal with no change ranging up to
hearing the appeal in-depth.
• Following each board meeting, a letter is sent to the owner of each property in appeal. The
sample letter following the initial convene meeting is attached.
• At the convene meeting on May 1, the Board will be given two outlines to assist you in
conducting an efficient and productive meeting. One will be the Agenda as the Board
process is quite specific in format. The other will be the Board roster which is updated
at 4:30 pm. Further reference, if you desire, can be provided via the MN Department of
Revenue Board Training Manual (2015 update). This manual gives considerably greater
detail as to the process and role of the Board in the assessment process.

Re: St. Louis Park Local Board of Appeal & Equalization
Subject Address
Property ID #: xx-xxx-xx-xx-xxxx
Dear :
The Board convened on May 1 and the above-referenced property has been entered onto the appeal
roster. You are receiving both a telephone call and this letter to inform you that the reconvene
date has been scheduled for X:XX pm on May 15, 2017 in the City Hall Council Chambers located
at 5005 Minnetonka Boulevard, St. Louis Park, MN 55416.
Appeals will be heard at this meeting. The following are important for you to know:
• The property owner may appear in person, by representative, and/or by written communication
to the Board. Assessing staff will visit with you or your representative to understand your
perspective and explain our perspective as well.
• If the Assessing staff has not already inspected your property within the last year, they must
complete an interior and exterior inspection to revalue the property. Important: Refusing
access precludes the Board from taking action that would benefit the owner (MN statute
274.01).
• Assessing staff will then complete their revaluation and contact you prior to the May 15
meeting to inform you of their conclusion. This is an important component of the Local Board
process. If the assessing staff and you as the owner can mutually agree to resolve the matter,
the agreement will be reported to the Board. While it is common that that the Board ratifies
mutual agreement, please note that the Board is the decision maker on the issue. This method
of resolution is often preferred by property owners as it is not necessary to speak before the
board.
• When agreement cannot be reached, the Board hears the case. Past practice has been as
follows: You, as the appellant, are allowed about 5-10 minutes to present information
supporting your value position. The assessing staff, as the respondent, is allowed about 3-5
minutes to present information and their conclusion. The Board hears the information and
decides the market value and/or classification as of January 2, 2017. The Board has full
authority to sustain, increase, or decrease individual assessments. The Board does not have
authority to reopen prior assessments. The Board does not have authority to change current
and past real estate taxes.
• The Board appreciates receiving written information before the meeting. We strongly
recommend fact based locally competitive market information pertaining directly to your
property (competitive sales, appraisals, etc.). National or regional information, while
interesting, may not correlate to this specific local market. The assessing staff prepares a
LBAE Meeting of May 1, 2017 Page 5
Title: 2017 St. Louis Park Board of Appeal & Equalization
written report on all parcels under appeal and submits it to the Board prior to the meeting. If
you would like your written documentation to be included in the Board packet, please provide
it to my office by 12:00 Noon on Wednesday May 10 to allow time for copying or scanning.
Otherwise, please prepare ten (10) copies of your written materials to be brought to the Board
meeting on May 15.
• Upon completion of the Local Board, you will be notified via letter of the Board action. If you
do not agree with the Local Board decision, you are eligible to attend the Hennepin County
Board of Appeal & Equalization which convenes in June. An application to appear before the
County Board is required no later than May 17, 2017. Please keep in mind that you will not
know the determination of the St. Louis Park Board until the reconvene meeting on May 15th.
If you have any further questions on the Local Board process, do not hesitate to contact me directly.

Title: Economic Development Authority Meeting Minutes of April 3, 2017
7a. Call for Public Hearing to Consider Establishment of Elmwood Apartments
TIF District. Resolution No. 17-05
Mr. Hunt presented the staff report. He noted there is a financial gap in the Elmwood
Apartments project proforma which precludes the project from proceeding, and as a result
the developer has requested TIF assistance. Calling for a public hearing is the first step in
creating a TIF district. The EDA will have the opportunity to consider the business terms
of the financial assistance in the near future, and those terms will be incorporated into a
redevelopment contract with 36th Street LLC, expected to be brought to the EDA for formal
consideration on May 15th, the same evening as the proposed TIF district public hearing.
Staff recommends approval.
It was moved by Commissioner Brausen, seconded by Commissioner Spano, to waive the
reading and adopt EDA Resolution No. 17-05, requesting the City Council call a public
hearing relative to the establishment of the Elmwood Apartments Tax Increment Financing
(TIF) District within Redevelopment Project No. 1 (a redevelopment district).
The motion passed 7-0.
7b. Purchase Agreement with Hennepin County HRA – Wooddale Station
Properties. Resolution No. 17-06
Mr. Hunt presented the staff report. He noted this topic has been discussed at multiple study
sessions. The non-profit developer PLACE proposes to purchase and redevelop several
remnant parcels, which total approximately 4.9 acres on the north side and 2 acres on the
south side of the future SWLRT Wooddale Station with a mixed-use, mixed-income,
transit-oriented, and sustainable development. Regardless of whether the proposed PLACE
project proceeds, the EDA has provided direction to acquire the subject parcels so as to
assemble sites large enough to spur redevelopment on either side of the future SWLRT
Wooddale Station. He added that terms of the proposed purchase agreement were provided
in a written report for the March 27 study session, and the proposed agreement has been
reviewed by the EDA’s legal counsel, who recommends its approval.
Commissioner Sanger stated she agrees that purchasing and assembling these properties
would be very beneficial for future development in the area; however, she will not support
the purchase of these parcels from Hennepin County at this time, as she knows this is to
benefit the PLACE project, which she does not support.
Commissioner Spano asked if the EDA purchased these properties and the PLACE project
did not move forward, if the EDA would still own them. Mr. Hunt stated yes, and then the
EDA would seek a new developer.
It was moved by Commissioner Lindberg, seconded by Commissioner Brausen, to waive
the reading and adopt EDA Resolution No. 17-06, approving the Purchase Agreement
between EDA and the Hennepin County Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HCHRA)
relative to four remnant parcels adjacent to the future SWLRT Wooddale Station.
The motion passed 6-1 (Commissioner Sanger opposed).

7c. Collateral Assignment of E2 TIF Note – Bader Development to Crown Bank.
Resolution No. 17-07
Mr. Hunt presented the staff report. He stated this resolution concerns the approval of the
collateral assignment of the E2 TIF Note between Bader Development, Mandalay
Investment, and their lender, Crown Bank. Mr. Hunt added that if Bader Development were
to default, the future TIF payments would be made directly to the lender. Additionally, this
assignment is similar to other collateral assignments of TIF notes that the EDA has seen
with other development projects supported through tax increments.
Commissioner Lindberg stated he will abstain from this vote as his wife’s father works for
Crown Bank.
It was moved by Commissioner Brausen, seconded by Commissioner Miller, to waive the
reading and adopt EDA Resolution No. 17-07, approving the Collateral Assignment of the
E2 TIF Note between Bader Development, Mandalay Investment and their lender, Crown
Bank.
The motion passed 6-0 (Commissioner Lindberg abstained).

Ms. Grove presented the grant application report. She noted that PLACE is requesting the
EDA submit three grant applications on behalf of the PLACE project. PLACE is requesting
the EDA apply for approximately $600,000-800,000 in contamination clean-up grants from
the Metropolitan Council and DEED to mitigate costs associated with the clean-up of the
contaminated soils on-site. Clean-up grant applications are due May 1, 2017. PLACE is
also requesting the EDA apply for an $850,000 Livable Communities Transit Oriented
Development grant from the Metropolitan Council to be used for solar, public art, and place
making elements. Ms. Grove added that the EDA would be the designated applicant on all
three grants but would have no financial obligation other than to serve as a conduit for the
grants. Staff would administer all grants if they are awarded.
It was moved by Commissioner Brausen, seconded by Commissioner Miller, to waive the
reading and adopt EDA Resolution No. 17-08, authorizing submission of grant application
to the Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) Contamination

7b. Excelsior & Monterey Redevelopment.
Mr. Walther noted the council had determined it was not in the best interests of the city to
sell the 3743 Monterey Drive parcel to the developer at this time, and the appropriate action
for the EDA is a motion to deny the TIF application and decline the developer’s offer to
purchase the property.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Establishment of the Wooddale Station Tax Increment Financing District
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
• Motion to Adopt Resolution approving the elimination of a parcel from the Elmwood
Redevelopment Tax Increment Financing District (Hennepin County TIF District No. 1312),
within Redevelopment Project No. 1, in the City of St. Louis Park).
• Motion to Adopt Resolution approving the establishment of the Wooddale Station Tax
Increment Financing District within Redevelopment Project No. 1 (a redevelopment district)
• Motion to Adopt Resolution authorizing an Interfund Loan for advance of certain costs in
connection with the administration of the Wooddale Station TIF District.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does the EDA support moving the 5925 Highway 7 property
from the Elmwood TIF District and establishing the Wooddale Station TIF District to facilitate the
construction of a major mixed use redevelopment at the southeast quadrant of Highway 7 and
Wooddale Ave and the northeast corner of W 36th Street and Wooddale Ave.?
SUMMARY: PLACE’s application for Tax Increment Financing assistance in connection with
its proposed redevelopment at the southeast quadrant of Highway 7 and Wooddale Ave and the
northeast corner of W 36th Street and Wooddale Ave. has been extensively reviewed at multiple
study sessions, EDA and City Council meetings where it received consensus support. Constructing
the PLACE project is not financially feasible but for the use of the proposed tax increment
assistance. At its March 20th meeting, the City Council set a public hearing date of May 1st for
consideration of the proposed Wooddale Station Redevelopment TIF District. It is now time to
take the final step in the TIF process which is to formally authorize the creation of the
Redevelopment TIF district. Such authorization enables the EDA to designate tax increment
generated from the completed PLACE redevelopment as partial reimbursement for certain
qualified redevelopment costs incurred in connection with the construction of the project so as to
make it financially feasible.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: Creating the TIF district provides the funding
vehicle to reimburse PLACE for a portion of its qualified project costs. The actual terms and
amount of TIF assistance are specified within the Purchase and Redevelopment Contract with
PLACE E-Generation One, LLC which is also scheduled for consideration May 1st. Authorizing
an Interfund Loan allows the EDA to recoup certain costs in connection with the administration of
the new Wooddale TIF District.
VISION CONSIDERATION: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a well-maintained and
diverse housing stock.

DISCUSSION
BACKGROUND: PLACE (Projects Linking Art, Community & Environment), a Minneapolis
501(c)(3) nonprofit developer, is proposing to redevelop a 5.2 site (net of easements and rights-of-
way) located at the southeast quadrant of Highway 7 and Wooddale Ave and the northeast corner
of W 36th Street and Wooddale Ave. The site is divided by the CP RR line and the Cedar Lake
LRT Regional Trail and located in the Elmwood Neighborhood.
Location of PLACE redevelopment at Wooddale Station
CURRENT PROPOSAL: PLACE proposes to acquire the subject nine properties from the EDA
and City, raze two structurally substandard buildings, and construct a major mixed-use, mixed-
income, transit-oriented, environmentally sustainable development. Current plans depict four
buildings split on the north and south sides of the future SWLRT Wooddale Station. On April 17
the City Council approved a Comprehensive Plan amendment for the project along with the first
reading of the PUD ordinance. The proposed PLACE project consists of the following
components:
• 2 apartment buildings with a total of 299 residential units between them
(of which 200 would be affordable and 99 would be market-rate)
including 99 mixed-income live/work units.
• 110-room hotel
• 10,200 SF e-generation/greenhouse facility
§ Approximately 16,200 sq. ft. of ground floor commercial/retail space for a café, coffee
house, bike shop, and five microbusinesses
§ 4,000 SF small business co-working hub
§ Woonerf (Placemaking Plaza)
• 447 parking spaces (structured, surface, and street)
• 510,778 SF. of total program space
• 1 AC “urban forest” with children’s play area and public art
Economic Development Authority Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 7a) Page 3
Title: Establishment of the Wooddale Station Tax Increment Financing District
The entire project is being designed to achieve LEED Silver or Gold certification.
Developer’s Request for Public Financing Assistance
The Total Development Cost (TDC) to construct the proposed PLACE redevelopment is
approximately $123 million. There are significant extraordinary costs associated with
redeveloping the subject site. These include: environmental investigation and reporting, asbestos
abatement, building demolition, contaminated soil removal and disposal, site preparation,
underground stormwater retention, circulation enhancements and structured parking. Altogether,
these costs exceed $9.5 million and prevent the PLACE project from achieving financial
feasibility. Consequently PLACE applied to the EDA for Tax Increment Financing (TIF)
assistance to offset a portion of these costs. Tax increment financing uses the increased future
property taxes generated by a new development to finance certain qualified development costs
incurred by that project for a limited period of time.
Level and Type of Financial Assistance
PLACE’s sources and uses statements, cash flow projections, and investor rate of return (ROR)
related to each component of the PLACE project were reviewed by staff and Ehlers (the EDA’s
financial consultant). Based upon its analysis of the PLACE project proformas, Ehlers determined
that the PLACE project is not financially feasible but/for the provision of $5.66 million in tax
increment financing. The assistance would be provided in the form of a TIF Note and would be
made available to exclusively reimburse PLACE for a portion of the extraordinary site preparation
costs cited above. Upon project completion, tax increment generated from the increased value of
the subject property would be provided to PLACE on a "pay-as-you-go" basis, which is the
preferred financing method under the City's TIF Policy. Upon completion, the proposed project
would generate the requested assistance in approximately 15 years.
TIF Application Review
The EDA/City Council reviewed PLACE’s TIF Application for the proposed PLACE project at
the February 13th and April 3rd Study Sessions. Following discussion there was consensus support
for favorably considering the Developer’s request for tax increment assistance. As a result, staff
was directed to call for a public hearing on the proposed Redevelopment TIF District and to begin
drafting a formal purchase and redevelopment contract with PLACE.
TIF District Approvals
At its March 20th meeting, the City Council set a public hearing date of May 1, 2017 for
consideration of the proposed Redevelopment TIF District. The EDA will consider the approval
of the purchase and redevelopment contract that same evening.
The Planning Commission reviewed the Wooddale Station Tax Increment Financing Plan on April
19th, as required by the MN TIF Act, and determined it was in conformance with the City’s
Comprehensive Plan.
Synopsis of the Proposed Wooddale Station TIF District
The subject site is located within the boundaries of the City’s Redevelopment Project Area which
is the portion of the city where TIF districts may statutorily be established. Inclusion of the
proposed project within a designated Redevelopment Project Area allows the EDA/City Council
to establish a TIF district so as to enable the EDA to provide the proposed financial assistance to
the PLACE project. The proposed Wooddale Station TIF District consists of the following nine
parcels as shown in the attached TIF District map.
Economic Development Authority Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 7a) Page 4
Title: Establishment of the Wooddale Station Tax Increment Financing District
• 5925 State Hwy No 7
• 5815 State Hwy No 7
• 5725 State Hwy No 7
• 3520 Yosemite Ave S
• 3565 Wooddale Ave
• 3548 Xenwood Ave S
• 3575 Wooddale Ave
• 5816 36th St W
• 5814 36th St W
Together, these parcels equal approximately 7 acres including adjacent rights of way. The
proposed TIF district is further detailed in the attached TIF District Overview and Wooddale
Station TIF Plan.
The 5925 Highway 7 property currently lies within the Elmwood TIF District. Therefore, the EDA
will be asked to decertify the property from the Elmwood TIF District in order to include it in the
proposed Wooddale Station TIF District.
Attached is an Overview which summarizes the basic elements of the proposed Wooddale Station
TIF District. Details of the proposed TIF District may be found in the attached Wooddale Station
TIF District Plan. Both the Overview and TIF Plan were prepared by the EDA’s TIF consultant,
Ehlers. In a general sense, TIF Plans may be viewed as enabling legislation. They establish the
proposed TIF district’s classification, geographic boundaries, maximum duration, maximum
budget authority for tax increment revenues and expenditures, fiscal disparities election as well as
estimated impact on various taxing jurisdictions along with findings which statutorily qualify the
district. The specific mutual obligations between the EDA and the Redeveloper as well as the
precise terms of the financial assistance are contained in the separate Purchase and Redevelopment
Contract between the parties. Both the TIF Plan and the Redevelopment Contract need to be
approved in order for redevelopment projects involving tax increment to proceed.
Qualifications of the Proposed TIF District
Consulting firm LHB was retained to conduct a TIF district feasibility analysis to determine if the
subject site qualified as a Redevelopment District under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174,
Subdivision 10, After inspecting and evaluating the subject properties and applying current
statutory criteria, LHB made the following findings in its report entitled: Report of Inspection
Procedures and Results for Determining Qualifications of a Tax Increment Financing District as
a Redevelopment District: [Highway 7 & Wooddale] Redevelopment TIF District, St. Louis Park,
MN dated November 22, 2016):
• The proposed TIF District has a coverage calculation of 88.7 percent which exceeds the 70
percent requirement.
• 100 percent of the buildings are structurally substandard which exceeds the 50 percent
requirement.
• The substandard buildings are reasonably distributed throughout the geographic area of the
proposed TIF District.
Thus the proposed Wooddale Station TIF District met both the “Coverage Test” and the
“Condition of Buildings Test” and thereby qualifies under Minnesota Statutes Section 479.174,
Subdivision 10 as a redevelopment TIF district. Other findings for the qualification of the proposed
TIF District are contained in Appendix G of the attached TIF Plan.
Economic Development Authority Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 7a) Page 5
Title: Establishment of the Wooddale Station Tax Increment Financing District
Duration of the Proposed TIF District
Under the TIF Act, the duration of redevelopment districts is up to 25 years after receipt of the
first increment by the City (a total of 26 years of tax increment). The date of receipt by the City
of the first tax increment is expected to be 2020. Thus, the full term of the district is estimated to
terminate in 2045. The EDA and City have the right to decertify the District prior to the legally
required date. The City’s expressed obligations to the Redeveloper are estimated to be satisfied in
approximately 15 years. Once those obligations are satisfied, the City may terminate the District.
TIF District Budget
The TIF Plan authorizes the use of tax increment generated by the District to pay for certain
qualifying project expenses and capital improvements associated with the District should they be
necessary. It should be noted that the financing uses and project costs reflected within Subsection
2-10 (Uses of Funds) of the attached TIF Plan is a not-to-exceed budget and not the actual expected
project budget.
Fiscal Disparities Election within the Proposed TIF District
The proposed redevelopment will contain commercial property; therefore the proposed TIF
District is subject to the fiscal disparities calculation. Consistent with the city’s TIF Policy and
past practice, the Wooddale Station TIF District will contribute to fiscal disparities (as opposed to
the tax base of the City making the contribution).
Recommendation
The EDA’s financial consultant, Ehlers, prepared the proposed Wooddale Station TIF Plan in
consultation with the EDA’s legal counsel, Kennedy & Graven and staff; all of whom recommend
approval of the resolutions eliminating the 5925 Highway 7 property from the Elmwood TIF
District, establishing the Wooddale Station Tax Increment Financing District and authorizing an
Interfund Loan in connection with the administration of the new Wooddale TIF District. .
NEXT STEPS: The Purchase and Redevelopment Contract with PLACE which specifies the
terms and amount of TIF assistance related to the PLACE project is also scheduled for
consideration by the EDA May 1st.

RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING AN INTERFUND LOAN FOR ADVANCE
OF CERTAIN COSTS IN CONNECTION WITH THE WOODDALE
STATION TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of St. Louis Park, Minnesota (the "City"), intends
to establish the Wooddale Station Tax Increment Financing District (the "TIF District") within
Redevelopment Project No. 1 (the "Project"), and will adopt a Tax Increment Financing Plan (the
"TIF Plan") for the purpose of financing certain improvements within the Project.
WHEREAS, the St. Louis Park Economic Development Authority (the “EDA”) has
determined to use tax increments from the TIF District to pay for certain costs identified in the TIF
Plan, which may include land/building acquisition, site improvements/preparation, utilities, other
qualifying improvements, interest and administrative costs (collectively, the "Qualified Costs"),
which costs may be financed on a temporary basis from EDA funds available for such purposes.
WHEREAS, under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.178, Subd. 7, the EDA is authorized
to advance or loan money from the EDA's general fund or any other fund from which such
advances may be legally authorized, in order to finance the Qualified Costs.
WHEREAS, the EDA intends to reimburse itself for the Qualified Costs from tax
increments derived from the TIF District in accordance with the terms of this resolution (which
terms are referred to collectively as the "Interfund Loan").
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Commissioners (the "Board")
of the St. Louis Park Economic Development Authority as follows:
1. The EDA hereby authorizes the advance of up to $1,600,000, or so much thereof as may
be paid as Qualified Costs, from any legally authorized EDA fund. The EDA shall
reimburse itself for such advances together with interest at the rate stated below. Interest
accrues on the principal amount from the date of each advance. The maximum rate of
interest permitted to be charged is limited to the greater of the rates specified under
Minnesota Statutes, Section 270C.40 or Section 549.09 as of the date the loan or advance
is authorized, unless the written agreement states that the maximum interest rate will
fluctuate as the interest rates specified under Minnesota Statutes, Section 270C.40 or
Section 549.09 are from time to time adjusted. The interest rate shall be 4% and will not
fluctuate.
2. Principal and interest ("Payments") on the Interfund Loan shall be paid semi-annually on
each August 1 and February 1 (each a "Payment Date"), commencing on the first Payment
Date on which the EDA has Available Tax Increment (defined below), or on any other
dates determined by the Executive Director of the EDA, through the date of last receipt of
tax increment from the TIF District.
Economic Development Authority Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 7a) Page 10
Title: Establishment of the Wooddale Station Tax Increment Financing District
3. Payments on this Interfund Loan are payable solely from "Available Tax Increment,"
which shall mean, on each Payment Date, tax increment available after other obligations
have been paid, or as determined by the Executive Director of the EDA, generated in the
preceding six (6) months with respect to the property within the TIF District and remitted
to the EDA by Hennepin County, all in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Sections
469.174 to 469.1794, all inclusive, as amended. Payments on this Interfund Loan may be
subordinated to any outstanding or future bonds, notes or contracts secured in whole or in
part with Available Tax Increment, and are on parity with any other outstanding or future
interfund loans secured in whole or in part with Available Tax Increment.
4. The principal sum and all accrued interest payable under this Interfund Loan are pre-
payable in whole or in part at any time by the EDA without premium or penalty. No partial
prepayment shall affect the amount or timing of any other regular payment otherwise
required to be made under this Interfund Loan.
5. This Interfund Loan is evidence of an internal borrowing by the EDA in accordance with
Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.178, Subd. 7, and is a limited obligation payable solely
from Available Tax Increment pledged to the payment hereof under this resolution. This
Interfund Loan and the interest hereon shall not be deemed to constitute a general
obligation of the State of Minnesota or any political subdivision thereof, including, without
limitation, the EDA. Neither the State of Minnesota, nor any political subdivision thereof
shall be obligated to pay the principal of or interest on this Interfund Loan or other costs
incident hereto except out of Available Tax Increment, and neither the full faith and credit
nor the taxing power of the State of Minnesota or any political subdivision thereof is
pledged to the payment of the principal of or interest on this Interfund Loan or other costs
incident hereto. The EDA shall have no obligation to pay any principal amount of the
Interfund Loan or accrued interest thereon, which may remain unpaid after the final
Payment Date.
6. The EDA may amend the terms of this Interfund Loan at any time by resolution of the
Board, including a determination to forgive the outstanding principal amount and accrued
interest to the extent permissible under law.

Section 2 - Tax Increment Financing Plan
for the Wooddale Station Tax Increment Financing District
Subsection 2-1. Foreword
The St. Louis Park Economic Development Authority (the "EDA"), the City of St. Louis Park (the "City"),
staff and consultants have prepared the following information to expedite the establishment of the Wooddale
Station Tax Increment Financing District (the "District"), a redevelopment tax increment financing district,
located in Redevelopment Project No. 1.
Subsection 2-2. Statutory Authority
Within the City, there exist areas where public involvement is necessary to cause development or
redevelopment to occur. To this end, the EDA and City have certain statutory powers pursuant to Minnesota
Statutes ("M.S."), Sections 469.090 to 469.1082, inclusive, as amended, and M.S., Sections 469.174 to
469.1794, inclusive, as amended (the "Tax Increment Financing Act" or "TIF Act"), to assist in financing
public costs related to this project.
This section contains the Tax Increment Financing Plan (the "TIF Plan") for the District. Other relevant
information is contained in the Modification to the Redevelopment Plan for Redevelopment Project No. 1.
Subsection 2-3. Statement of Objectives
The District currently consists of nine parcels of land and adjacent and internal rights-of-way. The District
is being created to facilitate the development of approximately 200 affordable apartment units, 99 market rate
apartment units, a 110 room hotel, approximately 16,200 square feet of commercial property, and
approximately 10,200 square feet of a greenhouse/e-generation facility in the City. Please see Appendix A
for further District information. The EDA has not entered into an agreement but anticipates entering into an
agreement with PLACE E-Generation One LLC, a limited liability company. Development is likely to occur
in late 2017 or early 2018. This TIF Plan is expected to achieve many of the objectives outlined in the
Redevelopment Plan for Redevelopment Project No. 1.
The activities contemplated in the Modification to the Redevelopment Plan and the TIF Plan do not preclude
the undertaking of other qualified development or redevelopment activities. These activities are anticipated
to occur over the life of Redevelopment Project No. 1 and the District.
Subsection 2-4. Redevelopment Plan Overview
1. Property to be Acquired - The EDA or City currently owns nine parcels of property within
the District. The remaining property located within the District may be acquired by the EDA
or City and is further described in this TIF Plan.
2. Relocation - Relocation services, to the extent required by law, are available pursuant to
M.S., Chapter 117 and other relevant state and federal laws.
3. Upon approval of a developer's plan relating to the project and completion of the necessary
legal requirements, the EDA or City may sell to a developer selected properties that it may
acquire within the District or may lease land or facilities to a developer.
4. The EDA or City may perform or provide for some or all necessary acquisition, construction,

relocation, demolition, and required utilities and public street work within the District.
Subsection 2-5. Description of Property in the District and Property To Be Acquired
The District encompasses all property and adjacent rights-of-way and abutting roadways identified by the
parcels listed in Appendix C of this TIF Plan. Please also see the map in Appendix B for further information
on the location of the District.
The EDA or City may acquire any parcel within the District including interior and adjacent street rights of
way. Any properties identified for acquisition will be acquired by the EDA or City only in order to
accomplish one or more of the following: storm sewer improvements; provide land for needed public streets,
utilities and facilities; carry out land acquisition, site improvements, clearance and/or development to
accomplish the uses and objectives set forth in this plan. The EDA or City may acquire property by gift,
dedication, condemnation or direct purchase from willing sellers in order to achieve the objectives of this TIF
Plan. Such acquisitions will be undertaken only when there is assurance of funding to finance the acquisition
and related costs.
Subsection 2-6. Classification of the District
The EDA and City, in determining the need to create a tax increment financing district in accordance with
M.S., Sections 469.174 to 469.1794, as amended, inclusive, find that the District, to be established, is a
redevelopment district pursuant to M.S., Section 469.174, Subd. 10(a)(1) as defined below:
(a) "Redevelopment district" means a type of tax increment financing district consisting of a project,
or portions of a project, within which the authority finds by resolution that one or more of the
following conditions, reasonably distributed throughout the district, exists:
(1) parcels consisting of 70 percent of the area in the district are occupied by buildings, streets,
utilities, paved or gravel parking lots or other similar structures and more than 50 percent
of the buildings, not including outbuildings, are structurally substandard to a degree
requiring substantial renovation or clearance;
(2) The property consists of vacant, unused, underused, inappropriately used, or infrequently
used rail yards, rail storage facilities or excessive or vacated railroad rights-of-way;
(3) tank facilities, or property whose immediately previous use was for tank facilities, as defined
in Section 115C, Subd. 15, if the tank facility:
(i) have or had a capacity of more than one million gallons;
(ii) are located adjacent to rail facilities; or
(iii)have been removed, or are unused, underused, inappropriately used or infrequently
used; or
(4) a qualifying disaster area, as defined in Subd. 10b.
(b) For purposes of this subdivision, "structurally substandard" shall mean containing defects in
structural elements or a combination of deficiencies in essential utilities and facilities, light and
ventilation, fire protection including adequate egress, layout and condition of interior partitions,
or similar factors, which defects or deficiencies are of sufficient total significance to justify
substantial renovation or clearance.

Tax Increment Financing Plan for the Wooddale Station Tax Increment Financing District 2-2
Economic Development Authority Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 7a)
Title: Establishment of the Wooddale Station Tax Increment Financing District Page 20
(c) A building is not structurally substandard if it is in compliance with the building code applicable
to new buildings or could be modified to satisfy the building code at a cost of less than 15
percent of the cost of constructing a new structure of the same square footage and type on the
site. The municipality may find that a building is not disqualified as structurally substandard
under the preceding sentence on the basis of reasonably available evidence, such as the size,
type, and age of the building, the average cost of plumbing, electrical, or structural repairs or
other similar reliable evidence. The municipality may not make such a determination without
an interior inspection of the property, but need not have an independent, expert appraisal
prepared of the cost of repair and rehabilitation of the building. An interior inspection of the
property is not required, if the municipality finds that (1) the municipality or authority is unable
to gain access to the property after using its best efforts to obtain permission from the party that
owns or controls the property; and (2) the evidence otherwise supports a reasonable conclusion
that the building is structurally substandard.
(d) A parcel is deemed to be occupied by a structurally substandard building for purposes of the
finding under paragraph (a) or by the improvement described in paragraph (e) if all of the
following conditions are met:
(1) the parcel was occupied by a substandard building or met the requirements of paragraph
(e), as the case may be, within three years of the filing of the request for certification of the
parcel as part of the district with the county auditor;
(2) the substandard building or the improvements described in paragraph (e) were demolished
or removed by the authority or the demolition or removal was financed by the authority or
was done by a developer under a development agreement with the authority;
(3) the authority found by resolution before the demolition or removal that the parcel was
occupied by a structurally substandard building or met the requirement of paragraph (e) and
that after demolition and clearance the authority intended to include the parcel within a
district; and
(4) upon filing the request for certification of the tax capacity of the parcel as part of a district,
the authority notifies the county auditor that the original tax capacity of the parcel must be
adjusted as provided by § 469.177, subdivision 1, paragraph (f).
(e) For purposes of this subdivision, a parcel is not occupied by buildings, streets, utilities, paved
or gravel parking lots or other similar structures unless 15 percent of the area of the parcel
contains buildings, streets, utilities, paved or gravel parking lots or other similar structures.
(f) For districts consisting of two or more noncontiguous areas, each area must qualify as a
redevelopment district under paragraph (a) to be included in the district, and the entire area of
the district must satisfy paragraph (a).
In meeting the statutory criteria the EDA and City rely on the following facts and findings:
• The District is a redevelopment district consisting nine parcels.
• An inventory shows that parcels consisting of more than 70 percent of the area in the District are
occupied by buildings, streets, utilities, paved or gravel parking lots or other similar structures.
• An inspection of the buildings located within the District finds that more than 50 percent of the buildings
are structurally substandard as defined in the TIF Act. (See Appendix F).

Tax Increment Financing Plan for the Wooddale Station Tax Increment Financing District 2-3
Economic Development Authority Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 7a)
Title: Establishment of the Wooddale Station Tax Increment Financing District Page 21
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.176, Subd. 7, the District does not contain any parcel or part of a parcel that
qualified under the provisions of M.S., Sections 273.111, 273.112, or 273.114 or Chapter 473H for taxes
payable in any of the five calendar years before the filing of the request for certification of the District.
Subsection 2-7. Duration and First Year of Tax Increment of the District
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.175, Subd. 1, and Section 469.176, Subd. 1, the duration and first year of tax
increment of the District must be indicated within the TIF Plan. Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.176, Subd. 1b.,
the duration of the District will be 25 years after receipt of the first increment by the EDA or City (a total of
26 years of tax increment). The EDA or City elects to receive the first tax increment in 2020, which is no
later than four years following the year of approval of the District. Thus, it is estimated that the District,
including any modifications of the TIF Plan for subsequent phases or other changes, would terminate after
2045, or when the TIF Plan is satisfied. The EDA or City reserves the right to decertify the District prior to
the legally required date, including without limitation pursuant to M.S. 469.176, Subd. 1(b).
Subsection 2-8. Original Tax Capacity, Tax Rate and Estimated Captured Net Tax Capacity
Value/Increment and Notification of Prior Planned Improvements
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.174, Subd. 7 and M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 1, the Original Net Tax Capacity
(ONTC) as certified for the District will be based on the market values placed on the property by the assessor
in 2016 for taxes payable 2017.
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.177, Subds. 1 and 2, the County Auditor shall certify in each year (beginning
in the payment year 2019) the amount by which the original value has increased or decreased as a result of:
1. Change in tax exempt status of property;
2. Reduction or enlargement of the geographic boundaries of the district;
3. Change due to adjustments, negotiated or court-ordered abatements;
4. Change in the use of the property and classification;
5. Change in state law governing class rates; or
6. Change in previously issued building permits.
In any year in which the current Net Tax Capacity (NTC) value of the District declines below the ONTC, no
value will be captured and no tax increment will be payable to the EDA or City.
The original local tax rate for the District will be the local tax rate for taxes payable 2017, assuming the
request for certification is made before June 30, 2017. The ONTC and the Original Local Tax Rate for the
District appear in the table below.
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.174 Subd. 4 and M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 1, 2, and 4, the estimated
Captured Net Tax Capacity (CTC) of the District, within Redevelopment Project No. 1, upon completion of
the projects within the District, will annually approximate tax increment revenues as shown in the table
below. The EDA and City request 100 percent of the available increase in tax capacity for repayment of its
obligations and current expenditures, beginning in the tax year payable 2020. The Project Tax Capacity
(PTC) listed is an estimate of values when the projects within the District are completed.

Economic Development Authority Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 7a)
Title: Establishment of the Wooddale Station Tax Increment Financing District Page 22
Project Estimated Tax Capacity upon Completion (PTC) $1,332,706
Original Estimated Net Tax Capacity (ONTC) $84,410
Fiscal Disparities Contribution $146,425
Estimated Captured Tax Capacity (CTC) $1,101,871
Original Local Tax Rate 1.24745 Pay 2017
Estimated Annual Tax Increment (CTC x Local Tax Rate) $1,374,529
Percent Retained by the EDA 100%
Tax capacity includes a 3% inflation factor for the duration of the District. The tax capacity included in thischart is the estimated tax capacity of the District in year 25. The tax capacity of the District in year one isestimated to be $327,802.
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 4, the EDA shall, after a due and diligent search, accompany its
request for certification to the County Auditor or its notice of the District enlargement pursuant to M.S.,
Section 469.175, Subd. 4, with a listing of all properties within the District or area of enlargement for which
building permits have been issued during the eighteen (18) months immediately preceding approval of the
TIF Plan by the municipality pursuant to M.S., Section 469.175, Subd. 3. The County Auditor shall increase
the original net tax capacity of the District by the net tax capacity of improvements for which a building
permit was issued.
The City has reviewed the area to be included in the District and found some building permits that
have been issued in the past 18 months, but none that should increase the original tax capacity. The list
of building permits issued within the District in the past 18 months is available in the office of the City
Economic Development Coordinator.
Subsection 2-9. Sources of Revenue/Bonds to be Issued
The costs outlined in the Uses of Funds will be financed primarily through the annual collection of tax
increments. The EDA or City reserves the right to incur bonds or other indebtedness as a result of the TIF
Plan. As presently proposed, the projects within the District will be financed by a bond issue, pay-as-you-go
note, and interfund loan. Any refunding amounts will be deemed a budgeted cost without a formal TIF Plan
Modification. This provision does not obligate the EDA or City to incur debt. The EDA or City will issue
bonds or incur other debt only upon the determination that such action is in the best interest of the City.
The total estimated tax increment revenues for the District are shown in the table below:
SOURCES OF FUNDS TOTAL
Tax Increment $24,189,701
Interest $2,418,970
TOTAL $26,608,671
The EDA or City may issue bonds (as defined in the TIF Act) secured in whole or in part with tax increments
from the District in a maximum principal amount of $16,998,906. Such bonds may be in the form of pay-as-

Title: Establishment of the Wooddale Station Tax Increment Financing District Page 23
you-go notes, revenue bonds or notes, general obligation bonds, or interfund loans. This estimate of total
bonded indebtedness is a cumulative statement of authority under this TIF Plan as of the date of approval.
Subsection 2-10. Uses of Funds
Currently under consideration for the District is a proposal to facilitate the development of approximately 200
affordable apartment units, 99 market rate apartment units, a 110 room hotel, approximately 16,200 square
feet of commercial property, and approximately 10,200 square feet of a greenhouse/e-generation facility in
the City. The EDA and City have determined that it will be necessary to provide assistance to the project(s)
for certain District costs, as described. The EDA has studied the feasibility of the development or
redevelopment of property in and around the District. To facilitate the establishment and development or
redevelopment of the District, this TIF Plan authorizes the use of tax increment financing to pay for the cost
of certain eligible expenses. The estimate of public costs and uses of funds associated with the District is
outlined in the following table.
USES OF TAX INCREMENT FUNDS TOTAL
Land/Building Acquisition $6,547,600
Site Improvements/Preparation $2,830,000
Utilities $1,700,000
Other Qualifying Improvements $3,502,336
Administrative Costs (up to 10%)$2,418,970
PROJECT COST TOTAL $16,998,906
Interest $9,609,765
PROJECT AND INTEREST COSTS TOTAL $26,608,671
The total project cost, including financing costs (interest) listed in the table above does not exceed the total
projected tax increments for the District as shown in Subsection 2-9.
Estimated costs associated with the District are subject to change among categories without a modification
to this TIF Plan. The cost of all activities to be considered for tax increment financing will not exceed,
without formal modification, the budget above pursuant to the applicable statutory requirements. Pursuant
to M.S., Section 469.1763, Subd. 2, no more than 25 percent of the tax increment paid by property within the
District will be spent on activities related to development or redevelopment outside of the District but within
the boundaries of Redevelopment Project No. 1, (including administrative costs, which are considered to be
spent outside of the District) subject to the limitations as described in this TIF Plan.
Subsection 2-11. Fiscal Disparities Election
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 3, the EDA or City may elect one of two methods to calculate fiscal
disparities. If the calculations pursuant to M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 3, clause b, (within the District) are
followed, the following method of computation shall apply:
(1) The original net tax capacity shall be determined before the application of the fiscal disparity
provisions of Chapter 276A or 473F. The current net tax capacity shall exclude any fiscal
St. Louis Park Economic Development Authority
Tax Increment Financing Plan for the Wooddale Station Tax Increment Financing District 2-6
Economic Development Authority Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 7a)
Title: Establishment of the Wooddale Station Tax Increment Financing District Page 24
disparity commercial-industrial net tax capacity increase between the original year and the
current year multiplied by the fiscal disparity ratio determined pursuant to M.S., Section
276A.06, subdivision 7 or M.S., Section 473F.08, subdivision 6. Where the original net tax
capacity is equal to or greater than the current net tax capacity, there is no captured tax capacity
and no tax increment determination. Where the original tax capacity is less than the current tax
capacity, the difference between the original net tax capacity and the current net tax capacity
is the captured net tax capacity. This amount less any portion thereof which the authority has
designated, in its tax increment financing plan, to share with the local taxing districts is the
retained captured net tax capacity of the authority.
(2) The county auditor shall exclude the retained captured net tax capacity of the authority from the
net tax capacity of the local taxing districts in determining local taxing district tax rates. The
local tax rates so determined are to be extended against the retained captured net tax capacity
of the authority as well as the net tax capacity of the local taxing districts. The tax generated by
the extension of the less of (A) the local taxing district tax rates or (B) the original local tax rate
to the retained captured net tax capacity of the authority is the tax increment of the authority.
The EDA will choose to calculate fiscal disparities by clause b.
According to M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 3:
(c) The method of computation of tax increment applied to a district pursuant to paragraph (a) or
(b) shall remain the same for the duration of the district, except that the governing body may
elect to change its election from the method of computation in paragraph (a) to the method in
paragraph (b).
Subsection 2-12. Business Subsidies
The EDA and City will comply with M.S., Sections 116J.993 to 116J.995, as amended (the “Business
Subsidy Act”) to the extent required. Pursuant to Section 116J.993, Subd. 3 of the Business Subsidy Act,
the following forms of financial assistance are not considered a business subsidy:
(1) A business subsidy of less than $150,000;
(2) Assistance that is generally available to all businesses or to a general class of similar
businesses, such as a line of business, size, location, or similar general criteria;
(3) Public improvements to buildings or lands owned by the state or local government that serve a
public purpose and do not principally benefit a single business or defined group of businesses at
the time the improvements are made;
(4) Redevelopment property polluted by contaminants as defined in M.S., Section 116J.552, Subd.
3;
(5) Assistance provided for the sole purpose of renovating old or decaying building stock or
bringing it up to code and assistance provided for designated historic preservation districts,
provided that the assistance is equal to or less than 50% of the total cost;
(6) Assistance to provide job readiness and training services if the sole purpose of the assistance is
to provide those services;
(7) Assistance for housing;
(8) Assistance for pollution control or abatement, including assistance for a tax increment financing
hazardous substance subdistrict as defined under M.S., Section 469.174, Subd. 23;
(9) Assistance for energy conservation;
(10) Tax reductions resulting from conformity with federal tax law;

(15) Assistance for a collaboration between a Minnesota higher education institution and a business;
(16) Assistance for a tax increment financing soils condition district as defined under M.S., Section
469.174, Subd. 19;
(17) Redevelopment when the recipient's investment in the purchase of the site and in site
preparation is 70 percent or more of the assessor's current year's estimated market value;
(18) General changes in tax increment financing law and other general tax law changes of a
principally technical nature;
(19) Federal assistance until the assistance has been repaid to, and reinvested by, the state or local
government agency;

Development Administration; and
(23) Property tax abatements granted under M.S., Section 469.1813 to property that is subject to
valuation under Minnesota Rules, chapter 8100.
The EDA expects that this development will qualify for an exemption under Section 116J.993, Subd.
3(17) of the Business Subsidy Act.
Subsection 2-13. County Road Costs
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.175, Subd. 1a, the county board may require the EDA or City to pay for all
or part of the cost of county road improvements if the proposed development to be assisted by tax
increment will, in the judgment of the county, substantially increase the use of county roads requiring
construction of road improvements or other road costs and if the road improvements are not scheduled
within the next five years under a capital improvement plan or within five years under another county
plan.
If the county elects to use increments to improve county roads, it must notify the EDA or City within
forty-five days of receipt of this TIF Plan. In the opinion of the EDA and City and consultants, the
proposed development outlined in this TIF Plan will have little or no impact upon county roads, therefore
the TIF Plan was not forwarded to the county 45 days prior to the public hearing. The EDA and City are
aware that the county could claim that tax increment should be used for county roads, even after the
public hearing.
Subsection 2-14. Estimated Impact on Other Taxing Jurisdictions
The estimated impact on other taxing jurisdictions assumes that the redevelopment contemplated by the
TIF Plan would occur without the creation of the District. However, the EDA or City has determined that
such development or redevelopment would not occur "but for" tax increment financing and that,
therefore, the fiscal impact on other taxing jurisdictions is $0. The estimated fiscal impact of the District
would be as follows if the "but for" test was not met:

The estimates listed above display the captured tax capacity when all construction is completed. The tax rate
used for calculations is the actual Pay 2017 rate. The total net capacity for the entities listed above are based
on actual Pay 2017 figures. The District will be certified under the actual Pay 2017 rates, assuming
certification of the District is made before June 30, 2017.
Pursuant to M.S. Section 469.175 Subd. 2(b):
(1) Estimate of total tax increment. It is estimated that the total amount of tax increment that will be
generated over the life of the District is $24,189,701;
(2) Probable impact of the District on city provided services and ability to issue debt. A minor impact
of the District on police protection is expected. The City does track all calls for service including
property-type calls and crimes. With any addition of new residents or businesses, police calls for
service will be increased. The City estimates an increase of 50 to 100 calls per year based on
development population estimates. New developments add an increase in traffic, and additional
overall demands to the call load. The City does not expect that the proposed development, in and of
itself, will necessitate new capital investment. The development will be incorporated into police
district operations.
The probable impact of the District on fire protection is not expected to be significant. Typically new
buildings generate few calls, if any, and are of superior construction. The existing buildings, which
will be eliminated by the new development, have public safety concerns that will be ameliorated by
the new development.
The impact of the District on public infrastructure is expected to be minimal. The development is not
expected to significantly impact any traffic movements in the area. The current infrastructure for

Title: Establishment of the Wooddale Station Tax Increment Financing District Page 27
sanitary sewer, storm sewer and water will be able to handle the additional volume generated from
the proposed development. Based on the development plans, there are no additional costs associated
with street maintenance, sweeping, plowing, lighting and sidewalks. The development in the District
is expected to contribute an estimated $2,485 in sanitary sewer (SAC) fees per unit and $750 in water
(WAC) connection fees per WAC unit.
The probable impact of any District general obligation tax increment bonds on the ability to issue
debt for general fund purposes is expected to be minimal. It is not anticipated that there will be any
general obligation debt issued in relation to this project, therefore there will be no impact on the
City's ability to issue future debt or on the City's debt limit.
(3) Estimated amount of tax increment attributable to school district levies. It is estimated that the
amount of tax increments over the life of the District that would be attributable to school district
levies, assuming the school district's share of the total local tax rate for all taxing jurisdictions
remained the same, is $4,216,265;
(4) Estimated amount of tax increment attributable to county levies. It is estimated that the amount of
tax increments over the life of the District that would be attributable to county levies, assuming the
county's share of the total local tax rate for all taxing jurisdictions remained the same, is $8,548,640;
(5) Additional information requested by the county or school district. The City is not aware of any
standard questions in a county or school district written policy regarding tax increment districts and
impact on county or school district services. The county or school district must request additional
information pursuant to M.S. Section 469.175 Subd. 2(b) within 15 days after receipt of the tax
increment financing plan.
No requests for additional information from the county or school district regarding the proposed
development for the District have been received.
Subsection 2-15. Supporting Documentation
Pursuant to M.S. Section 469.175, Subd. 1 (a), clause 7 the TIF Plan must contain identification and
description of studies and analyses used to make the determination set forth in M.S. Section 469.175, Subd.
3, clause (b)(2) and the findings are required in the resolution approving the District. Following is a list of
reports and studies on file at the City that support the EDA and City's findings:
• Elmwood Area Land Use, Transit, and Transportation Study (2003)
Subsection 2-16. Definition of Tax Increment Revenues
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.174, Subd. 25, tax increment revenues derived from a tax increment financing
district include all of the following potential revenue sources:
1. Taxes paid by the captured net tax capacity, but excluding any excess taxes, as computed under M.S.,
Section 469.177;
2. The proceeds from the sale or lease of property, tangible or intangible, to the extent the property was
purchased by the authority with tax increments;
3. Principal and interest received on loans or other advances made by the authority with tax increments;
4. Interest or other investment earnings on or from tax increments;

which the request for certification was made after August 1, 1993; and
6. The market value homestead credit paid to the Authority under M.S., Section 273.1384.
Subsection 2-17. Modifications to the District
In accordance with M.S., Section 469.175, Subd. 4, any:
1. Reduction or enlargement of the geographic area of the District, if the reduction does not meet the
requirements of M.S., Section 469.175, Subd. 4(e);
2. Increase in amount of bonded indebtedness to be incurred;
3. A determination to capitalize interest on debt if that determination was not a part of the original TIF
Plan;
4. Increase in the portion of the captured net tax capacity to be retained by the EDA or City;
5. Increase in the estimate of the cost of the District, including administrative expenses, that will be paid
or financed with tax increment from the District; or
6. Designation of additional property to be acquired by the EDA or City,
shall be approved upon the notice and after the discussion, public hearing and findings required for approval
of the original TIF Plan.
Pursuant to M.S. Section 469.175 Subd. 4(f), the geographic area of the District may be reduced, but shall not
be enlarged after five years following the date of certification of the original net tax capacity by the county
auditor. If a redevelopment district is enlarged, the reasons and supporting facts for the determination that
the addition to the district meets the criteria of M.S., Section 469.174, Subd. 10, must be documented in
writing and retained. The requirements of this paragraph do not apply if (1) the only modification is
elimination of parcel(s) from the District and (2)(A) the current net tax capacity of the parcel(s) eliminated
from the District equals or exceeds the net tax capacity of those parcel(s) in the District's original net tax
capacity or (B) the EDA agrees that, notwithstanding M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 1, the original net tax
capacity will be reduced by no more than the current net tax capacity of the parcel(s) eliminated from the
District.
The EDA or City must notify the County Auditor of any modification to the District. Modifications to the
District in the form of a budget modification or an expansion of the boundaries will be recorded in the TIF
Plan.
Subsection 2-18. Administrative Expenses
In accordance with M.S., Section 469.174, Subd. 14, administrative expenses means all expenditures of the
EDA or City, other than:
1. Amounts paid for the purchase of land;
2. Amounts paid to contractors or others providing materials and services, including architectural and
engineering services, directly connected with the physical development of the real property in the
District;
3. Relocation benefits paid to or services provided for persons residing or businesses located in the
District;
4. Amounts used to pay principal or interest on, fund a reserve for, or sell at a discount bonds issued
pursuant to M.S., Section 469.178; or

Title: Establishment of the Wooddale Station Tax Increment Financing District Page 29
5. Amounts used to pay other financial obligations to the extent those obligations were used to finance
costs described in clauses (1) to (3).
For districts for which certification was requested after July 31, 2001, no tax increment may be used to pay
any administrative expenses for District costs which exceed ten percent of total estimated tax increment
expenditures authorized by the TIF Plan or the total tax increments, as defined in M.S., Section 469.174, Subd.
25, clause (1), from the District, whichever is less.
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.176, Subd. 4h, tax increments may be used to pay for the County's actual
administrative expenses incurred in connection with the District and are not subject to the percentage limits
of M.S., Section 469.176, Subd. 3. The county may require payment of those expenses by February 15 of the
year following the year the expenses were incurred.
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469. 177, Subd. 11, the County Treasurer shall deduct an amount (currently .36
percent) of any increment distributed to the EDA or City and the County Treasurer shall pay the amount
deducted to the State Commissioner of Management and Budget for deposit in the state general fund to be
appropriated to the State Auditor for the cost of financial reporting of tax increment financing information
and the cost of examining and auditing authorities' use of tax increment financing. This amount may be
adjusted annually by the Commissioner of Revenue.
Subsection 2-19. Requirement of Qualified Activity
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.176, Subd. 6:
if, after four years from the date of certification of the original net tax capacity of the tax
increment financing district pursuant to M.S., Section 469.177, no demolition, rehabilitation
or renovation of property or other site preparation, including qualified improvement of a
street adjacent to a parcel but not installation of utility service including sewer or water
systems, has been commenced on a parcel located within a tax increment financing district
by the authority or by the owner of the parcel in accordance with the tax increment financing
plan, no additional tax increment may be taken from that parcel, and the original net tax
capacity of that parcel shall be excluded from the original net tax capacity of the tax
increment financing district. If the authority or the owner of the parcel subsequently
commences demolition, rehabilitation or renovation or other site preparation on that parcel
including qualified improvement of a street adjacent to that parcel, in accordance with the
tax increment financing plan, the authority shall certify to the county auditor that the activity
has commenced and the county auditor shall certify the net tax capacity thereof as most
recently certified by the commissioner of revenue and add it to the original net tax capacity
of the tax increment financing district. The county auditor must enforce the provisions of this
subdivision. The authority must submit to the county auditor evidence that the required
activity has taken place for each parcel in the district. The evidence for a parcel must be
submitted by February 1 of the fifth year following the year in which the parcel was certified
as included in the district. For purposes of this subdivision, qualified improvements of a
street are limited to (1) construction or opening of a new street, (2) relocation of a street,
and (3) substantial reconstruction or rebuilding of an existing street.
The EDA or City or a property owner must improve parcels within the District by approximately May 2021
and report such actions to the County Auditor.

property located in the District for the following purposes:
1. To pay the principal of and interest on bonds issued to finance a project;
2. To finance, or otherwise pay the cost of redevelopment of the Redevelopment Project No. 1 pursuant
to M.S., Sections 469.090 to 469.1082;
3. To pay for project costs as identified in the budget set forth in the TIF Plan;
4. To finance, or otherwise pay for other purposes as provided in M.S., Section 469.176, Subd. 4;
5. To pay principal and interest on any loans, advances or other payments made to or on behalf of the
EDA or City or for the benefit of Redevelopment Project No. 1 by a developer;
6. To finance or otherwise pay premiums and other costs for insurance or other security guaranteeing
the payment when due of principal of and interest on bonds pursuant to the TIF Plan or pursuant to

These revenues shall not be used to circumvent any levy limitations applicable to the City nor for other
purposes prohibited by M.S., Section 469.176, Subd. 4.
Tax increments generated in the District will be paid by Hennepin County to the EDA for the Tax Increment
Fund of said District. The EDA or City will pay to the developer(s) annually an amount not to exceed an
amount as specified in a developer's agreement to reimburse the costs of land acquisition, public
improvements, demolition and relocation, site preparation, and administration. Remaining increment funds
will be used for EDA or City administration (up to 10 percent) and for the costs of public improvement
activities outside the District.
Subsection 2-21. Excess Increments
Excess increments, as defined in M.S., Section 469.176, Subd. 2, shall be used only to do one or more of the
following:
1. Prepay any outstanding bonds;
2. Discharge the pledge of tax increment for any outstanding bonds;
3. Pay into an escrow account dedicated to the payment of any outstanding bonds; or
4. Return the excess to the County Auditor for redistribution to the respective taxing jurisdictions in
proportion to their local tax rates.
The EDA or City must spend or return the excess increments under paragraph (c) within nine months after
the end of the year. In addition, the EDA or City may, subject to the limitations set forth herein, choose to
modify the TIF Plan in order to finance additional public costs in Redevelopment Project No. 1 or the
District.
Subsection 2-22. Requirements for Agreements with the Developer
The EDA or City will review any proposal for private development to determine its conformance with the
Redevelopment Plan and with applicable municipal ordinances and codes. To facilitate this effort, the

Tax Increment Financing Plan for the Wooddale Station Tax Increment Financing District 2-13
Economic Development Authority Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 7a)
Title: Establishment of the Wooddale Station Tax Increment Financing District Page 31
following documents may be requested for review and approval: site plan, construction, mechanical, and
electrical system drawings, landscaping plan, grading and storm drainage plan, signage system plan, and any
other drawings or narrative deemed necessary by the EDA or City to demonstrate the conformance of the
development with City plans and ordinances. The EDA or City may also use the Agreements to address other
issues related to the development.
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.176, Subd. 5, no more than 25 percent, by acreage, of the property to be
acquired in the District as set forth in the TIF Plan shall at any time be owned by the EDA or City as a result
of acquisition with the proceeds of bonds issued pursuant to M.S., Section 469.178 to which tax increments
from property acquired is pledged, unless prior to acquisition in excess of 25 percent of the acreage, the EDA
or City concluded an agreement for the development or redevelopment of the property acquired and which
provides recourse for the EDA or City should the development or redevelopment not be completed.
Subsection 2-23. Assessment Agreements
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 8, the EDA or City may enter into a written assessment agreement
in recordable form with the developer of property within the District which establishes a minimum market
value of the land and completed improvements for the duration of the District. The assessment agreement
shall be presented to the County Assessor who shall review the plans and specifications for the improvements
to be constructed, review the market value previously assigned to the land upon which the improvements are
to be constructed and, so long as the minimum market value contained in the assessment agreement appears,
in the judgment of the assessor, to be a reasonable estimate, the County Assessor shall also certify the
minimum market value agreement.
Subsection 2-24. Administration of the District
Administration of the District will be handled by the Economic Development Coordinator.
Subsection 2-25. Annual Disclosure Requirements
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.175, Subds. 5, 6, and 6b the EDA or City must undertake financial reporting
for all tax increment financing districts to the Office of the State Auditor, County Board and County Auditor
on or before August 1 of each year. M.S., Section 469.175, Subd. 5 also provides that an annual statement
shall be published in a newspaper of general circulation in the City on or before August 15.
If the City fails to make a disclosure or submit a report containing the information required by M.S., Section
469.175 Subd. 5 and Subd. 6, the Office of the State Auditor will direct the County Auditor to withhold the
distribution of tax increment from the District.
Subsection 2-26. Reasonable Expectations
As required by the TIF Act, in establishing the District, the determination has been made that the anticipated
development would not reasonably be expected to occur solely through private investment within the
reasonably foreseeable future and that the increased market value of the site that could reasonably be expected
to occur without the use of tax increment financing would be less than the increase in the market value
estimated to result from the proposed development after subtracting the present value of the projected tax
increments for the maximum duration of the District permitted by the TIF Plan. In making said determination,
reliance has been placed upon written representation made by the developer to such effects and upon EDA
and City staff awareness of the feasibility of developing the project site(s) within the District. A comparative
analysis of estimated market values both with and without establishment of the District and the use of tax

Tax Increment Financing Plan for the Wooddale Station Tax Increment Financing District 2-14
Economic Development Authority Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 7a)
Title: Establishment of the Wooddale Station Tax Increment Financing District Page 32
increments has been performed as described above. Such analysis is included with the cashflow in Appendix
D, and indicates that the increase in estimated market value of the proposed development (less the indicated
subtractions) exceeds the estimated market value of the site absent the establishment of the District and the
use of tax increments. More detail as to the City’s and EDA’s “but-for” findings is included in Appendix G.
Subsection 2-27. Limitations on the Use of Tax Increment
1. General Limitations. All revenue derived from tax increment shall be used in accordance with the TIF
Plan. The revenues shall be used to finance, or otherwise pay the cost of redevelopment of the
Redevelopment Project No. 1 pursuant to M.S., Sections 469.090 to 469.1082. Tax increments may not
be used to circumvent existing levy limit law. No tax increment may be used for the acquisition,
construction, renovation, operation, or maintenance of a building to be used primarily and regularly for
conducting the business of a municipality, county, school district, or any other local unit of government
or the state or federal government. This provision does not prohibit the use of revenues derived from tax
increments for the construction or renovation of a parking structure.
2. Pooling Limitations. At least 75 percent of tax increments from the District must be expended on
activities in the District or to pay bonds, to the extent that the proceeds of the bonds were used to finance
activities within said district or to pay, or secure payment of, debt service on credit enhanced bonds. Not
more than 25 percent of said tax increments may be expended, through a development fund or otherwise,
on activities outside of the District except to pay, or secure payment of, debt service on credit enhanced
bonds. For purposes of applying this restriction, all administrative expenses must be treated as if they
were solely for activities outside of the District.
3. Five-Year Limitation on Commitment of Tax Increments and Six-Year Rule. Tax increments derived
from the District shall be deemed to have satisfied the 75 percent test set forth in paragraph (2) above
only if the five year rule set forth in M.S., Section 469.1763, Subd. 3, has been satisfied; and beginning
with the sixth year following certification of the District, 75 percent of said tax increments that remain
after expenditures permitted under said five year rule must be used only to pay previously committed
expenditures or credit enhanced bonds as more fully set forth in M.S., Section 469.1763, Subd. 5.
4. Redevelopment District. At least 90 percent of the revenues derived from tax increment from a
redevelopment district must be used to finance the cost of correcting conditions that allow designation
of redevelopment and renewal and renovation districts under M.S., Section 469.176 Subd. 4j. These costs
include, but are not limited to, acquiring properties containing structurally substandard buildings or
improvements or hazardous substances, pollution, or contaminants, acquiring adjacent parcels necessary
to provide a site of sufficient size to permit development, demolition and rehabilitation of structures,
clearing of the land, the removal of hazardous substances or remediation necessary for development of
the land, and installation of utilities, roads, sidewalks, and parking facilities for the site. The allocated
administrative expenses of the EDA or City, including the cost of preparation of the development action
response plan, may be included in the qualifying costs.
Subsection 2-28. Summary
The St. Louis Park Economic Development Authority is establishing the District to preserve and enhance the
tax base, redevelop substandard areas, and provide diversified housing options in the City. The TIF Plan for
the District was prepared by Ehlers & Associates, Inc., 3060 Centre Pointe Drive, Roseville, Minnesota

PART 1 – EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
PURPOSE OF EVALUATION
LHB was hired by the City of St. Louis Park to inspect and evaluate the properties within a Tax
Increment Financing Redevelopment District (“TIF District”) proposed to be established by the City.
The proposed TIF District is located at Highway 7 and Wooddale Avenue (Diagram 1). The purpose
of LHB’s work is to determine whether the proposed TIF District meets the statutory requirements
for coverage, and whether two (2) buildings on nine (9) parcels and two (2) right of way parcels, located
within the proposed TIF District, meet the qualifications required for a Redevelopment District.
Diagram 1 – Proposed TIF District
SCOPE OF WORK
The proposed TIF District consists of nine (9) parcels and two (2) right of way parcels with two (2)
buildings. Two (2) buildings were inspected on September 27, 2016 and October 14, 2016. Building
code and Condition Deficiency Reports for the buildings that were inspected are located in Appendix
B.

CONCLUSION
After inspecting and evaluating the properties within the proposed TIF District and applying current
statutory criteria for a Redevelopment District under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10,
it is our professional opinion that the proposed TIF District qualifies as a Redevelopment District
because:
•The proposed TIF District has a coverage calculation of 88.7 percent which is above the 70
percent requirement.
•100 percent of the buildings are structurally substandard which is above the 50 percent
requirement.
•The substandard buildings are reasonably distributed.
The remainder of this report describes our process and findings in detail.
PART 2 – MINNESOTA STATUTE 469.174, SUBDIVISION 10
REQUIREMENTS
The properties were inspected in accordance with the following requirements under Minnesota Statutes,
Section 469.174, Subdivision 10(c), which states:
INTERIOR INSPECTION
“The municipality may not make such determination [that the building is structurally substandard]
without an interior inspection of the property...”
EXTERIOR INSPECTION AND OTHER MEANS
“An interior inspection of the property is not required, if the municipality finds that
(1) the municipality or authority is unable to gain access to the property after using its best efforts
to obtain permission from the party that owns or controls the property; and
(2) the evidence otherwise supports a reasonable conclusion that the building is structurally
substandard.”
DOCUMENTATION
“Written documentation of the findings and reasons why an interior inspection was not conducted
must be made and retained under section 469.175, subdivision 3(1).”
QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS
Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10 (a) (1) requires three tests for occupied parcels:
A.COVERAGE TEST
…“parcels consisting of 70 percent of the area of the district are occupied by buildings, streets,
utilities, or paved or gravel parking lots…”
Economic Development Authority Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 7a)
Title: Establishment of the Wooddale Station Tax Increment Financing District Page 48
The coverage required by the parcel to be considered occupied is defined under Minnesota
Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10(e), which states: “For purposes of this subdivision, a parcel
is not occupied by buildings, streets, utilities, paved or gravel parking lots, or other similar
structures unless 15 percent of the area of the parcel contains buildings, streets, utilities, paved
or gravel parking lots, or other similar structures.”
B.CONDITION OF BUILDINGS TEST
Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10(a) states, “…and more than 50 percent of the
buildings, not including outbuildings, are structurally substandard to a degree requiring
substantial renovation or clearance;”
1.Structurally substandard is defined under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10(b),
which states: “For purposes of this subdivision, ‘structurally substandard’ shall mean
containing defects in structural elements or a combination of deficiencies in essential
utilities and facilities, light and ventilation, fire protection including adequate egress, layout
and condition of interior partitions, or similar factors, which defects or deficiencies are of
sufficient total significance to justify substantial renovation or clearance.”
a.We do not count energy code deficiencies toward the thresholds required by Minnesota
Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10(b) defined as “structurally substandard”, due to
concerns expressed by the State of Minnesota Court of Appeals in the Walser Auto
Sales, Inc. vs. City of Richfield case filed November 13, 2001.
2.Buildings are not eligible to be considered structurally substandard unless they meet certain
additional criteria, as set forth in Subdivision 10(c) which states:
“A building is not structurally substandard if it is in compliance with the building code
applicable to new buildings or could be modified to satisfy the building code at a cost of
less than 15 percent of the cost of constructing a new structure of the same square footage
and type on the site. The municipality may find that a building is not disqualified as
structurally substandard under the preceding sentence on the basis of reasonably available
evidence, such as the size, type, and age of the building, the average cost of plumbing,
electrical, or structural repairs, or other similar reliable evidence.”
“Items of evidence that support such a conclusion [that the building is not disqualified]
include recent fire or police inspections, on-site property tax appraisals or housing
inspections, exterior evidence of deterioration, or other similar reliable evidence.”
LHB counts energy code deficiencies toward the 15 percent code threshold required by
Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10(c)) for the following reasons:
•The Minnesota energy code is one of ten building code areas highlighted by the
Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry website where minimum
construction standards are required by law.
•Chapter 13 of the 2015 Minnesota Building Code states, “Buildings shall be designed
and constructed in accordance with the International Energy Conservation Code.”
Furthermore, Minnesota Rules, Chapter 1305.0021 Subpart 9 states, “References
Economic Development Authority Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 7a)
Title: Establishment of the Wooddale Station Tax Increment Financing District Page 49
to the International Energy Conservation Code in this code mean the Minnesota Energy
Code…”
•The Senior Building Code Representative for the Construction Codes and
Licensing Division of the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry
confirmed that the Minnesota Energy Code is being enforced throughout the State
of Minnesota.
•In a January 2002 report to the Minnesota Legislature, the Management Analysis
Division of the Minnesota Department of Administration confirmed that the
construction cost of new buildings complying with the Minnesota Energy Code is
higher than buildings built prior to the enactment of the code.
•Proper TIF analysis requires a comparison between the replacement value of a
new building built under current code standards with the repairs that would be
necessary to bring the existing building up to current code standards. In order for
an equal comparison to be made, all applicable code chapters should be applied to
both scenarios. Since current construction estimating software automatically
applies the construction cost of complying with the Minnesota Energy Code,
energy code deficiencies should also be identified in the existing structures.
C.DISTRIBUTION OF SUBSTANDARD BUILDINGS
Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10, defines a Redevelopment District and requires
one or more of the following conditions, “reasonably distributed throughout the district.”
(1)“Parcels consisting of 70 percent of the area of the district are occupied by buildings,
streets, utilities, paved or gravel parking lots, or other similar structures and more than
50 percent of the buildings, not including outbuildings, are structurally substandard to a
degree requiring substantial renovation or clearance;
(2)the property consists of vacant, unused, underused, inappropriately used, or infrequently
used rail yards, rail storage facilities, or excessive or vacated railroad rights-of-way;
(3)tank facilities, or property whose immediately previous use was for tank facilities…”
Our interpretation of the distribution requirement is that the substandard buildings must be
reasonably distributed throughout the district as compared to the location of all buildings in
the district. For example, if all of the buildings in a district are located on one half of the
area of the district, with the other half occupied by parking lots (meeting the required 70
percent coverage for the district), we would evaluate the distribution of the substandard
buildings compared with only the half of the district where the buildings are located. If all of
the buildings in a district are located evenly throughout the entire area of the district, the
substandard buildings must be reasonably distributed throughout the entire area of the
district. We believe this is consistent with the opinion expressed by the State of Minnesota
Court of Appeals in the Walser Auto Sales, Inc. vs. City of Richfield case filed November 13,
2001.
Economic Development Authority Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 7a)
Title: Establishment of the Wooddale Station Tax Increment Financing District Page 50
PART 3 – PROCEDURES FOLLOWED
LHB inspected two (2) of the two (2) buildings during the day of September 27, 2016 and October
14, 2016.
PART 4 – FINDINGS
A.COVERAGE TEST
1. The total square foot area of the parcel in the proposed TIF District was obtained from City
records, GIS mapping and site verification.
2.The total square foot area of buildings and site improvements on the parcels in the
proposed TIF District was obtained from City records, GIS mapping and site verification.
3.The percentage of coverage for each parcel in the proposed TIF District was computed to
determine if the 15 percent minimum requirement was met. The total square footage of
parcels meeting the 15 percent requirement was divided into the total square footage of the
entire district to determine if the 70 percent requirement was met.
FINDING:
The proposed TIF District met the coverage test under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision
10(e), which resulted in parcels consisting of 88.7 percent of the area of the proposed TIF District
being occupied by buildings, streets, utilities, paved or gravel parking lots, or other similar structures
(Diagram 2). This exceeds the 70 percent area coverage requirement for the proposed TIF District
under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision (a) (1).

B.CONDITION OF BUILDING TEST
1.BUILDING INSPECTION
The first step in the evaluation process is the building inspection. After an initial walk-
thru, the inspector makes a judgment whether or not a building “appears” to have enough
defects or deficiencies of sufficient total significance to justify substantial renovation or
clearance. If it does, the inspector documents with notes and photographs code and non-
code deficiencies in the building.
2.REPLACEMENT COST
The second step in evaluating a building to determine if it is substandard to a degree
requiring substantial renovation or clearance is to determine its replacement cost. This is
the cost of constructing a new structure of the same square footage and type on site.
Replacement costs were researched using R.S. Means Cost Works square foot models for
2016.
Economic Development Authority Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 7a)
Title: Establishment of the Wooddale Station Tax Increment Financing District Page 52
A replacement cost was calculated by first establishing building use (office, retail, residential,
etc.), building construction type (wood, concrete, masonry, etc.), and building size to obtain
the appropriate median replacement cost, which factors in the costs of construction in St.
Louis Park, Minnesota.
Replacement cost includes labor, materials, and the contractor’s overhead and profit.
Replacement costs do not include architectural fees, legal fees or other “soft” costs not
directly related to construction activities. Replacement cost for each building is tabulated
in Appendix A.
3.CODE DEFICIENCIES
The next step in evaluating a building is to determine what code deficiencies exist with
respect to such building. Code deficiencies are those conditions for a building which are
not in compliance with current building codes applicable to new buildings in the State of
Minnesota.
Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10(c), specifically provides that a building
cannot be considered structurally substandard if its code deficiencies are not at least 15
percent of the replacement cost of the building. As a result, it was necessary to determine
the extent of code deficiencies for each building in the proposed TIF District.
The evaluation was made by reviewing all available information with respect to such
buildings contained in City Building Inspection records and making interior and exterior
inspections of the buildings. LHB utilizes the current Minnesota State Building Code as
the official code for our evaluations. The Minnesota State Building Code is actually a series
of provisional codes written specifically for Minnesota only requirements, adoption of
several international codes, and amendments to the adopted international codes.
After identifying the code deficiencies in each building, we used R.S. Means Cost Works
2016; Unit and Assembly Costs to determine the cost of correcting the identified
deficiencies. We were then able to compare the correction costs with the replacement cost
of each building to determine if the costs for correcting code deficiencies meet the required
15 percent threshold.
FINDING:
Two (2) out of two (2) buildings (100 percent) in the proposed TIF District contained code
deficiencies exceeding the 15 percent threshold required by Minnesota Statutes, Section
469.174, Subdivision 10(c). Building Code, Condition Deficiency and Context Analysis
reports for the buildings in the proposed TIF District can be found in Appendix B of this
report.
4.SYSTEM CONDITION DEFICIENCIES
If a building meets the minimum code deficiency threshold under Minnesota Statutes, Section
469.174, Subdivision 10(c), then in order for such building to be “structurally substandard”
under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10(b), the building’s defects or
Economic Development Authority Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 7a)
Title: Establishment of the Wooddale Station Tax Increment Financing District Page 53
deficiencies should be of sufficient total significance to justify “substantial renovation or
clearance.” Based on this definition, LHB re-evaluated each of the buildings that met the
code deficiency threshold under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10(c), to
determine if the total deficiencies warranted “substantial renovation or clearance” based on
the criteria we outlined above.
System condition deficiencies are a measurement of defects or substantial deterioration in
site elements, structure, exterior envelope, mechanical and electrical components, fire
protection and emergency systems, interior partitions, ceilings, floors and doors.
The evaluation of system condition deficiencies was made by reviewing all available
information contained in City records, and making interior and exterior inspections of the
buildings. LHB only identified system condition deficiencies that were visible upon our
inspection of the building or contained in City records. We did not consider the amount
of “service life” used up for a particular component unless it was an obvious part of that
component’s deficiencies.
After identifying the system condition deficiencies in each building, we used our
professional judgment to determine if the list of defects or deficiencies is of sufficient total
significance to justify “substantial renovation or clearance.”
FINDING:
In our professional opinion, two (2) out of two (2) buildings (100 percent) in the proposed
TIF District are structurally substandard to a degree requiring substantial renovation or
clearance, because of defects in structural elements or a combination of deficiencies in
essential utilities and facilities, light and ventilation, fire protection including adequate
egress, layout and condition of interior partitions, or similar factors which defects or
deficiencies are of sufficient total significance to justify substantial renovation or clearance.
This exceeds the 50 percent requirement of Subdivision 10a(1).
C.DISTRIBUTION OF SUBSTANDARD STRUCTURES
Much of this report has focused on the condition of individual buildings as they relate to
requirements identified by Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10. It is also
important to look at the distribution of substandard buildings throughout the geographic
area of the proposed TIF District (Diagram 3).
FINDING:
The parcels with substandard buildings are reasonably distributed compared to all parcels
that contain buildings.

Appendix G
Findings Including But/For Qualifications
The reasons and facts supporting the findings for the adoption of the Tax Increment Financing Plan (TIF
Plan) for the Wooddale Station Tax Increment Financing District (District), as required pursuant to Minnesota
Statutes, Section 469.175, Subdivision 3 are as follows:
1. Finding that Wooddale Station Tax Increment Financing District is a redevelopment district as
defined in M.S., Section 469.174, Subd. 10.
The District consists of 9 parcels and adjacent ROW, with plans to redevelop the area for housing
and commercial purposes. At least 70 percent of the area of the parcels in the District are occupied
by buildings, streets, utilities, paved or gravel parking lots or other similar structures and more than
50 percent of the buildings in the District, not including outbuildings, are structurally substandard
to a degree requiring substantial renovation or clearance. (See Appendix F of the TIF Plan.)
2. Finding that the proposed development, in the opinion of the City Council, would not reasonably be
expected to occur solely through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future and that
the increased market value of the site that could reasonably be expected to occur without the use of
tax increment financing would be less than the increase in the market value estimated to result from
the proposed development after subtracting the present value of the projected tax increments for the
maximum duration of the District permitted by the TIF Plan.
The proposed development, in the opinion of the City, would not reasonably be expected to occur
solely through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future: This finding is supported
by the fact that the redevelopment proposed in the TIF Plan meets the City's objectives for
redevelopment, but that due to the high costs of redevelopment on the parcels currently occupied by
substandard buildings, including costs associated with demolition, soil remediation, site
improvements, and utilities; costs to finance the proposed improvements; and costs to include
affordable housing, this project is feasible only through assistance, in part, from tax increment
financing. The developer was asked for and provided a letter and a proforma as justification that the
developer would not have gone forward without tax increment assistance.
The increased market value of the site that could reasonably be expected to occur without the use of
tax increment financing would be less than the increase in market value estimated to result from the
proposed development after subtracting the present value of the projected tax increments for the
maximum duration of the District permitted by the TIF Plan: This finding is justified on the grounds
that the costs of demolition, soil remediation, site improvements, utility improvements and
construction of affordable housing add to the total redevelopment cost. Historically, the costs of site
and public improvements and of the construction of affordable housing in the City have made
redevelopment infeasible without tax increment assistance. Although other projects could potentially
be proposed, the City reasonably determines that no other redevelopment of similar scope can be
anticipated on this site without substantially similar assistance being provided to the development.
Therefore, the City concludes as follows:
a. The City's estimate of the amount by which the market value of the entire District will
increase without the use of tax increment financing is $0.
Appendix G-1
Economic Development Authority Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 7a)
Title: Establishment of the Wooddale Station Tax Increment Financing District Page 99
b. If the proposed development occurs, the total increase in market value will be $54,725,150.
c. The present value of tax increments from the District for the maximum duration of the
district permitted by the TIF Plan is estimated to be $13,561,004.
d. Even if some development other than the proposed development were to occur, the Council
finds that no alternative would occur that would produce a market value increase greater than
$41,164,146 (the amount in clause b less the amount in clause c) without tax increment
assistance.
3. Finding that the TIF Plan for the District conforms to the general plan for the development or
redevelopment of the municipality as a whole.
The Planning Commission reviewed the TIF Plan and found that the TIF Plan conforms to the
general development plan of the City.
4. Finding that the TIF Plan for the District will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound
needs of the City as a whole, for the development or redevelopment of Redevelopment Project No.
1 by private enterprise.
The project to be assisted by the District will result in diversified housing opportunities and increased
employment in the City and the State of Minnesota, the renovation of substandard properties,
increased tax base of the State and add a high quality development to the City.
Specifically, through the implementation of the TIF Plan, the EDA or City will increase the
availability of safe and decent life-cycle housing in the City.

Public Hearing Agenda Item: 7b
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Public Hearing - Purchase and Redevelopment Contract with PLACE E-Generation
One, LLC
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Conduct the Public Hearing and motion to Adopt Resolution
approving the Purchase and Redevelopment Contract between the EDA and PLACE E-Generation
One, LLC.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does the EDA wish to continue to take the necessary steps to
facilitate the PLACE project?
SUMMARY: PLACE E-Generation One, LLC (“PLACE”) proposes to purchase nine properties
from the EDA and construct a major mixed-use redevelopment at the southeast quadrant of
Highway 7 and Wooddale Ave, and the northeast corner of W 36th Street and Wooddale Ave.
There are significant extraordinary costs associated with redeveloping the subject site including:
environmental investigation and reporting, asbestos abatement, building demolition and disposal,
contaminated soil removal, underground stormwater retention, and structured and underground
parking. Consequently, PLACE applied to the EDA for Tax Increment Financing (TIF) assistance
to offset a portion of these costs so as to enable the project to proceed. PLACE’s TIF application
was reviewed at the April 3rd Special Study Session where it received favorable support.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: The Total Development Cost to construct
the PLACE redevelopment is approximately $123 million. According to the analysis of PLACE’s
project proforma conducted by the EDA’s financial consultant, Ehlers, the project is not financially
feasible but/for the provision of $5.66 million in tax increment assistance. Such assistance is
necessary to offset a portion of the project’s $9.5 million in extraordinary site preparation costs
noted above. It is proposed that the EDA enter into a Purchase and Redevelopment Contract with
PLACE under which PLACE agrees to acquire the assembled redevelopment site from the EDA
for $6,245,000, construct the project as proposed and then be reimbursed for qualified site
improvement costs up to $5,660,000 in pay-as-you-go tax increment generated by the project over
a maximum term of 15 years. Once the TIF Note is retired the additional property taxes generated
by the project would accrue to the local taxing jurisdictions. To safeguard the EDA/City’s interests,
closing on the site will not occur until PLACE provides evidence that financing for the entire
project has been fully secured. The EDA’s financial participation in the proposed project would
leverage $62 million in new tax base, create 299 residential units (200 affordable and 99 market
rate), a hotel, live/work units and generate over 118 new jobs.
VISION CONSIDERATION: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a well-maintained and
diverse housing stock.

DISCUSSION
BACKGROUND: PLACE (Projects Linking Art, Community & Environment), a Minneapolis
501(c)(3) nonprofit developer, is proposing to redevelop a 5.2 site (net of easements and rights-of-
way) located at the southeast quadrant of Highway 7 and Wooddale Ave and the northeast corner
of W 36th Street and Wooddale Ave. The site is divided by the CP RR line and the Cedar Lake
LRT Regional Trail and located in the Elmwood Neighborhood.
Location of proposed PLACE redevelopment at Wooddale Station
The subject site is occupied by two, vacant, structurally substandard buildings (the former
McGarvey Coffee plant and a commercial structure formerly leased to Nash Frame) and a
municipal parking lot. Overall, the site exhibits low density and is underutilized from a market
value perspective given its proximity to the Highway 7 and Wooddale interchange and the multi-
story buildings to the south and east. The site has been of keen interest to redevelopers which has
become more intense now that planning for SWLRT has been finalized. PLACE has been in
discussions and working with the City on a redevelopment proposal for the subject site since 2013.
The proposed redevelopment site requires the assemblage of the following nine parcels.
• 5925 Highway 7 (EDA-owned property)
• 5815 Highway 7 (City-owned property to be conveyed to EDA)
• 5725 Highway 7 (EDA-owned property)
• 3520 Yosemite (HCHRA-owned property to be conveyed to EDA)
• 3565 Wooddale (HCHRA-owned property to be conveyed to EDA)
• 3548 Xenwood Ave (HCHRA-owned property to be conveyed to EDA)
• 3575 Wooddale (City-owned property to be conveyed to EDA)
• 5816 36th Street (City-owned property to be conveyed to EDA)
• 5814 36th Street (City-owned property to be conveyed to EDA)

Properties proposed to be purchased by PLACE
As indicated on Page 2, the EDA currently owns two of the subject properties and the City owns
four. At Monday’s meeting, the City Council will be asked to convey the four City-owned
properties to the EDA. On April 3, 2017, the EDA approved a Purchase Agreement with Hennepin
County Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HCHRA) to acquire the three remaining remnant
parcels. Closing on the transaction is expected to occur prior to June 30, 2017. Under the proposed
Purchase and Redevelopment Contract with PLACE, the EDA would convey the assembled nine
parcels to PLACE for $6,245,000.
CURRENT PROPOSAL: Upon closing on all its project financing and property conveyance
with the EDA, PLACE proposes to raze the two structurally substandard buildings, cleanup the
contaminated soils on the site and construct a major mixed-use, mixed-income, transit-oriented,
environmentally sustainable development. Development plans in conjunction with the PUD
application depict four buildings split on the north and south sides of the future SWLRT Wooddale
Station. On April 17 the City Council approved an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan for the
project along with the first reading of a PUD ordinance. The proposed PLACE project consists of
the following components:
• 2 apartment buildings with a total of 299 residential units between them
(of which 200 would be affordable and 99 would be market-rate)
including 99 mixed-income live/work units.
• 110-room hotel
§ Approximately 16,200 sq. ft. of ground floor commercial/retail space for a café, coffee
house, bike shop, and five microbusinesses
§ 4,000 SF small business co-working hub
• 10,200 SF e-generation/greenhouse facility
§ Woonerf (Placemaking Plaza)
• 447 parking spaces (structured, surface, and street)
• 510,778 SF of total program space
• 1 AC “urban forest” with children’s play area and public art

Housing Units
Both apartment buildings are mixed income with a total of 99 market-rate units and 200 units
affordable to households at 60% of the Area Median Income* (AMI) ($51,480 per year in 2016
for a family of four). Of these 299 units, 99 are designated as live/work spaces for creatives (58
affordable and 41 market rate).
Estimated Employment Projection
There is currently no employment on the subject site. It is estimated that the proposed project
would create over 118 new FTE employment positions between all the various components; many
of which are expected to be filled by residents living onsite.
Project Schedule
PLACE hopes to conduct its asbestos abatement, building demolition, contamination cleanup this
fall and commence construction by winter. Under the proposed Purchase and Redevelopment
Contract, PLACE is required to commence construction by May 31, 2018 and substantially
complete it by December 31, 2019 which provides PLACE flexibility in the event of any
unexpected delays in the project.
Redeveloper’s Request for Public Financing Assistance
The Total Development Cost (TDC) to construct the proposed PLACE redevelopment is
approximately $123 million. There are significant extraordinary costs* associated with
redeveloping the subject site. These include the following.
Extraordinary Site Improvement Cost Estimates AMOUNT ($)
Soil tests, environmental consulting, investigation & permits 171,000
Asbestos abatement, building demolition and disposal (net of grants) 128,700
Soil correction (net of grants) 666,795
Utility design & construction 696,261
Streets and roads 438,297
Structured parking 6,888,860
Woonerf 483,400
TOTAL Extraordinary Costs $9,473,313
*Extraordinary costs are expenses encountered over and above those which a developer would typically expect to
incur in a suburban development in order to correct blighted conditions causing the need for redevelopment (e.g.
asbestos removal, building demolition, contaminated soil removal and disposal, storage tank removal and disposal,
shoring, utility replacement, specialized stormwater management, street improvements, structured parking, etc.) These
types of expenses are eligible for reimbursement through Redevelopment TIF districts under the MN TIF Act.
The above costs prevent the project from achieving financial feasibility. Consequently PLACE
applied to the EDA for Tax Increment Financing (TIF) assistance to offset a portion of these
expenses. Tax increment financing uses the increased future property taxes generated by a new
development to finance certain qualified development costs incurred by that project for a limited
period of time.
Pro Forma Analysis and Recommended Level & Type of Financial Assistance
PLACE’s sources and uses statements, cash flow projections, and investor rate of return (ROR)
related to each component of the PLACE project were reviewed by staff and Ehlers (the EDA’s
financial consultant). Based upon its analysis of the PLACE project proformas, Ehlers determined
that the PLACE project is not financially feasible but/for the provision of $5,660,000 in tax
Economic Development Authority Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 7b) Page 7
Title: Public Hearing - Purchase and Redevelopment Contract with PLACE E-Generation One, LLC
increment financing. Consistent with past practice, the assistance would be provided in the form
of a TIF Note.
As a reminder, the proposed tax increment would be generated by the project itself and would only
be provided once construction has been completed and the Redeveloper supplied statements
verif ying it had incurred the specified qualified costs. Statutorily, the proposed tax increment
assistance would be made available to exclusively reimburse PLACE for a portion of the
extraordinary site preparation costs cited above. The EDA would be obligated to provide assistance
to the project only to the extent that the project generates sufficient tax increment to make the
semi-annual payments. The City, County and School District would continue to receive the
property taxes collected on the subject site’s base value.
It will take approximately 18 months to construct the proposed project. Upon project completion,
tax increment generated from the increased value of the property would be provided to PLACE on
a "pay-as-you-go" basis, which is the preferred financing method under the City's TIF Policy. It is
estimated that the project would generate the proposed tax increment in approximately 15 years.
The first increment would be paid in 2020. Once the TIF Note is fully paid, the additional property
taxes generated by the project would accrue to the local taxing jurisdictions. The Note is currently
estimated to bear interest at 5%, which is PLACE’s current proposed financing rate for the entire
project. This is subject to revision once all financing commitments are obtained for the project.
The size of the TIF Note is based upon no inflationary value in the project (as with all projects).
This is more conservative estimating and thus it is anticipated that the pay-as-you-go note will be
paid off earlier than estimated. As with most of the EDA’s redevelopment contracts, PLACE will
be required to execute a Minimum Assessment Agreement for the value utilized for projecting the
amount of TIF assistance available.
Property Value and Taxes
All the parcels in the proposed redevelopment site are currently tax exempt. The total taxable
market value of these parcels (re-estimated for establishing the proposed TIF district’s Base Value)
was recently determined to be $7.1 million. The total taxable market value of the site upon
redevelopment is projected to be approximately $62 million, at a minimum, and could be higher*.
It is estimated that the PLACE project would generate approximately $1,060,000 in annual
property taxes. The City, County and School District would receive the property taxes collected
on the subject site’s new taxable Base Value. Once the TIF Note is retired, the additional property
taxes generated by the project would be paid to the local taxing jurisdictions.
*The project could be valued higher once it is assessed for tax purposes. This was a conservative
value utilized only for estimating the amount of TIF the project would generate. Should the value
of the project at the time of completion be higher than the estimated amount, the principal amount
of the TIF Note would be paid sooner than the projected 15 years and local taxing jurisdictions
would receive the benefit of having the full value for tax purposes sooner than anticipated.
Business Subsidy
The proposed TIF assistance provided to PLACE would be exempt from state business subsidy
requirements as it relates to housing, pollution control/abatement, and redevelopment (Section
116J.993, Subdivision 3). Therefore, no public subsidy hearing is required; however, the EDA
would still be subject to modified reporting requirements.

TIF Application Review
The EDA/City Council reviewed PLACE’s TIF Application for the proposed PLACE project at
the February 13th and April 3rd Study Sessions. Following discussion there was consensus support
for favorably considering PLACE’s request for tax increment assistance. As a result, staff was
directed to call for a public hearing on the proposed Redevelopment TIF District and to draft a
formal purchase and redevelopment contract with PLACE.
Proposed Purchase and Redevelopment Contract
A list of specific business terms for selling the subject redevelopment property and providing the
proposed financial assistance was provided as a report for the April 24th Study Session. Those
terms served as the basis for the proposed Purchase and Redevelopment Contract with PLACE
(“Contract”) (attached). The proposed Contract specifies the property acquisition terms and
mutual obligations between the EDA and PLACE as well as the precise terms of the financial
assistance to be provided. The Contract is consistent with EDA Policy, past practices and previous
discussions with the EDA/City Council. The following are key terms of the proposed Contract.
1. For purposes of the proposed Purchase and Redevelopment Contract, the following parcels,
the vacated ROW between 3575 Wooddale and 5816 36th Street and adjacent rights-of-way
shall together be considered the Redevelopment Property:
• 5925 Highway 7 (EDA Property)
• 5815 Highway 7 (City Property)
• 5725 Highway 7 (EDA Property)
• 3520 Yosemite (EDA Property)
• 3565 Wooddale (EDA Property)

the City, and their governing body members, officers, and employees, from any claims or
actions arising out of the presence, if any, of hazardous wastes or pollutants existing on the

assistance was justified similar to those conducted on other projects that received TIF
assistance. The precise triggers and formula relative to the Minimum Improvements is
currently being drafted.
12. Both parties agree that any assistance provided to the Redeveloper under the Redevelopment
Contract is not expected to constitute a “business subsidy” under Minnesota Statutes because
the assistance is for redevelopment.
13. Redeveloper agrees that it will pay the reasonable costs of consultants and attorneys retained
by the EDA in connection with the preparation of the TIF Plan, the establishment of the TIF
District, the negotiation and preparation of the Redevelopment Contract and other incidental

shall provide a written and oral presentation to the City Council at a regular City Council
meeting at least 45 days prior to the Required Commencement Date or Completion Date. The
report must describe the reasons for the expected failure to meet the schedule, evidence of
Redeveloper’s due diligence in working toward construction of the relevant Phase, and a
detailed revised schedule. Approval of a modified schedule for construction by the Authority
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Failure to timely provide such
written and oral report is an Event of Default.
18. The Redeveloper shall comply with the City’s Green Building Policy, adopted by the City
Council on February 16, 2010 and as such policy may be amended as of the date of issuance

(a) The Redeveloper agrees to reserve 200 of the apartment units (66.8%) within the
North Apartments Component and South Apartments Component (collectively, the
“Affordable Apartments”) for households earning sixty percent (60%) of Area
Median Income (“AMI”) for at least twenty-five (25) years following building
occupancy.
(b) The monthly rental price for Affordable Apartments shall include rent and utility costs

to EDA approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
25. The Redeveloper agrees to file any petition or other document required to participate in the
City’s Special Service District No. 6 and to become subject to special service charges levied

hosting outdoor events, and will incorporate native landscaping and artwork.
30. At Closing, the Redeveloper shall, with the Authority, execute one or more Assessment
Agreements pursuant to Section 469.177, subd. 8 of the TIF Act, specifying an assessor’s
minimum market value for the Redevelopment Property and each of the North Components
and the South Components constructed thereon.
31. Before issuance of the TIF Note, the Redeveloper shall submit to the EDA, consultants and

Title: Public Hearing - Purchase and Redevelopment Contract with PLACE E-Generation One, LLC
32. The EDA agrees to subordinate its rights under the Contract to the Holder of any Mortgage
securing construction or permanent financing, in accordance with the terms of a mutually-
approved subordination agreement.
33. Redeveloper agrees not to transfer the Redevelopment Contract or the Redevelopment
Property (except to an affiliate) prior to receiving a Certificate of Completion without the
prior written consent of the EDA, except for construction mortgage financing and/or
permanent financing. The EDA's consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned
or delayed.
34. Redeveloper agrees that any proposed transferee, shall, for itself and its successors and
assigns, and expressly for the benefit of the EDA, expressly assume all of the obligations
of the Redeveloper under this Agreement as to the portion of the Redevelopment Property
to be transferred and agrees to be subject to all the conditions and restrictions to which the
Redeveloper is subject.
35. Redeveloper shall undertake all work related to the Minimum Improvements and Redeveloper
Public Improvements in compliance with all applicable federal and state laws, including
without limitation all applicable state and federal Occupational Safety and Health Act
regulations. Any subcontractors retained by Redeveloper shall be subject to the same
requirements. All Redeveloper Public Improvements shall be constructed in accordance with
the City Ordinance.
36. Redeveloper agrees that the EDA and the City will not be held liable for any loss or damage
to property or any injury to or death of any person occurring at or about or resulting from
any defect in the Redevelopment Property or the Minimum Improvements.
37. The Redeveloper, for itself and its successors and assigns, agrees that during the construction
of the Minimum Improvements provided for in the Contract it will comply with all applicable
federal, state, and local equal employment and non-discrimination laws and regulations.
38. Redeveloper agrees that no portion of the Redevelopment Property will be used for a
sexually-oriented business, a pawnshop, a check-cashing business, payday loan agency, a
tattoo business, or a gun business, and that such restrictions may be placed in the
Redevelopment Deed.
39. Redeveloper agrees that the EDA and the City will not be held liable for any loss or damage
to property or any injury to or death of any person occurring at or about or resulting from
any defect in the Redevelopment Property or the Minimum Improvements.
40. The Redeveloper agrees not to discriminate upon the basis of race, color, creed, sex or
national origin in the construction and maintenance of the Minimum Improvements and
Public Improvements as well as lease, rental, use or occupancy of the Redevelopment
Property or any improvements erected thereon.
41. EDA may exercise a right of reverter against the Redevelopment Property in specified
circumstances. This means EDA may retake possession and fee ownership of the
Redevelopment Property if there is an event of default. If right of reverter is exercised, the
EDA must use its best efforts to sell the Redevelopment Property to a qualified purchaser.
Economic Development Authority Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 7b) Page 17
Title: Public Hearing - Purchase and Redevelopment Contract with PLACE E-Generation One, LLC
When sold, proceeds are used to reimburse EDA for expenses related to resale, then to
reimburse Redeveloper for original purchase price/completed improvements.
Note that the right of reverter is likely to be subordinated to the mortgage for acquisition
of the Redevelopment Property and/or construction of the Minimum Improvements. Any
proposed subordination agreement must be approved by the EDA. The practical effect of
subordination is that EDA may exercise its right of reverter in the case of a default by
Redeveloper, but would have to pay off the mortgage to do so, so is unlikely to choose this
remedy.
The above terms are subject to further definition, revision and/or refinement provided they do not
alter the substance of the transaction.
Summary
The EDA has been in discussion with PLACE relative to the subject redevelopment site for nearly
four years. Selling the subject redevelopment site and providing TIF assistance to the proposed
project makes it possible to remove two structurally substandard buildings, clean up contaminated
soils along one of the city’s primary multi-modal transportation corridors and construct a major
mixed use, mixed income, highly sustainable, and transit-oriented development consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan and Elmwood Land Use and Transportation Study. The project will provide
the community with 299 expanded life-cycle housing opportunities (both affordable and market
rate), 99 live/work spaces for creatives, additional retail spaces, as well as a small business hub.
Economically it will create over 118 new employment positions (the majority of which could be
filled by people living onsite) and bring the currently tax exempt properties to optimal market value
by generating $62 million in additional tax base. Additionally, the LEED-certified redevelopment
will generate the majority of the project’s energy from renewable sources and grow organic
produce for the community. Furthermore it will provide a public plaza adjacent to the future light
rail station, a 1 acre “Urban Forest” as well as children’s play area, numerous pieces of public art
and other features. The EDA’s financial participation in the proposed project will leverage
approximately $123 million in new investment. The ratio of private to public investment in the
project is nearly $22 to $1. Finally, the PLACE project will revitalize the currently vacant site and
bring additional economic vibrancy to the Elmwood neighborhood, Cedar Lake Regional Trail and
future SWLRT Wooddale Station.
Recommendation
PLACE’s proposed redevelopment meets the City’s objectives for the provision of Tax Increment
Financing as specified in the City’s TIF Policy. The project meets all the Minimum and Desired
Qualifications for providing TIF assistance and received a final grade of “A” according to the
Project Report Card within the TIF Policy. Given the above findings, staff supports selling the
subject properties to PLACE for $6,245,000 and providing it with up to $5,660,000 in pay-as-you -
go tax increment generated by the project as reimbursement for qualified site preparation costs so
as to advance the redevelopment. The EDA’s legal counsel in consultation with staff prepared the
proposed Purchase and Redevelopment Contract with PLACE and recommends its approval. The
attached resolution of approval allows for modifications to the Contract that do not alter the
substance of the transaction without bringing the Contract back to the EDA for amendment.

Nothing in this Agreement is intended to limit the City’s authority in reviewing the preliminary
plat, or to preclude revisions requested or required by the City, provided such review and
requested or required revisions are consistent with preliminary approvals by the City.

Redeveloper of the obligation to comply with the terms of this Agreement, applicable federal, State
and local laws, ordinances, rules and regulations, or to construct the Minimum Improvements in
accordance therewith. No approval by the Authority shall constitute a waiver of an Event of
Default. If approval of the Construction Plans is requested by the Redeveloper in writing at the time
of submission, such Construction Plans shall be deemed approved unless rejected in writing by the
Authority, in whole or in part. Such rejections shall set forth in detail the reasons therefor based
upon the criteria set forth in clauses (i) through (vi) above, and shall be made within twenty (20)
days after the date of receipt of final plans from the Redeveloper. If the Authority rejects any
Construction Plans in whole or in part, the Redeveloper shall submit new or corrected Construction
Plans within twenty (20) days after written notification to the Redeveloper of the rejection. The
provisions of this Section relating to approval, rejection and resubmission of corrected Construction
Plans shall continue to apply until the Construction Plans have been approved by the Authority.
The Authority’s approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Said
approval shall constitute a conclusive determination that the Construction Plans (and the Minimum
Improvements, constructed in accordance with said plans) comply to the Authority’s satisfaction
with the provisions of this Agreement relating thereto.
The Redeveloper hereby waives any and all claims and causes of action whatsoever
resulting from the review of the Construction Plans by the Authority and/or any changes in the
Construction Plans requested by the Authority. Neither the Authority, the City, nor any employee

or official of the Authority or City shall be responsible in any manner whatsoever for any defect in
the Construction Plans or in any work done pursuant to the Construction Plans, including changes
requested by the Authority.
(b)If the Redeveloper desires to make any material change in the Construction Plans or
any component thereof after their approval by the Authority, the Redeveloper shall submit the
proposed change to the Authority for its approval. For the purpose of this section, the term
“material” means changes that increase or decrease construction costs by $500,000 or more. If the
Construction Plans, as modified by the proposed change, conform to the requirements of this
Section 4.2 with respect to such previously approved Construction Plans, the Authority shall
approve the proposed change and notify the Redeveloper in writing of its approval. Such change in
the Construction Plans shall, in any event, be deemed approved by the Authority unless rejected, in
whole or in part, by written notice by the Authority to the Redeveloper, setting forth in detail the
reasons therefor. Such rejection shall be made within ten (10) days after receipt of the notice of
such change. The Authority’s approval of any such change in the Construction Plans will not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
Section 4.3. Commencement and Completion of Construction.
(a)Subject to Unavoidable Delays, the Redeveloper shall commence construction of the
Minimum Improvements as follows: (i) with respect to the North Components, by May 31, 2018;

Components, by December 31, 2019. All work with respect to the Minimum Improvements to be
constructed or provided by the Redeveloper on the Redevelopment Property shall be in conformity
with the Construction Plans as submitted by the Redeveloper and approved by the Authority. If the
Redeveloper becomes aware that Redeveloper is not likely to meet the required deadline for
commencement and/or completion of construction of the Minimum Improvements, the Redeveloper
agrees to provide a written and oral report to the City Council of the City at a regular City Council
meeting prior to the applicable deadline. The report must describe the reasons for the expected
failure to meet the applicable deadline, evidence of the Redeveloper’s good faith efforts to construct
the Minimum Improvements, and a detailed revised schedule. Approval of a modified schedule for
construction by the Authority shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Failure
to timely provide such written and oral report is an Event of Default.
(b)The Redeveloper agrees for itself, its successors, and assigns, and every successor in
interest to the Redevelopment Property, or any part thereof, that the Redeveloper, and such
successors and assigns, shall promptly begin and diligently prosecute to completion the
development of the Redevelopment Property through the construction of the Minimum
Improvements thereon, and that such construction shall in any event be commenced and completed
within the period specified in this Section 4.3. After the date of this Agreement and until the
Minimum Improvements have been fully leased, the Redeveloper shall make reports, in such detail
and at such times as may reasonably be requested by the Authority, but no more than monthly, as to

Section 5.1. Insurance.
(a)The Redeveloper will provide and maintain at all times during the process of
constructing the Minimum Improvements an All Risk Broad Form Basis Insurance Policy and, from
time to time during that period, at the request of the Authority, furnish the Authority with proof of
payment of premiums on policies covering the following:
(i)Builder’s risk insurance, written on the so-called “Builder’s Risk –
Completed Value Basis,” in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the principal
amount of the Note, and with coverage available in nonreporting form on the so-called “all
risk” form of policy. The interest of the Authority shall be protected in accordance with a
clause in form and content satisfactory to the Authority;
(ii)Comprehensive general liability insurance (including operations, contingent
liability, operations of subcontractors, completed operations, and contractual liability
insurance) together with an Owner’s Protective Liability Policy with limits against bodily
injury and property damage of not less than $1,000,000 for each occurrence (to accomplish
the above-required limits, an umbrella excess liability policy may be used); the Authority
shall be listed as an additional insured on the policy; and
(iii)Workers’ compensation insurance, with statutory coverage, provided that the
Redeveloper may be self-insured with respect to all or any part of its liability for workers’
compensation.
(b)Upon completion of construction of the Minimum Improvements and prior to the
Maturity Date, the Redeveloper shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, at its cost and expense,
and from time to time at the request of the Authority shall furnish proof of the payment of premiums
on, insurance as follows:

a policy or policies covering such risks as are ordinarily insured against by similar
businesses.

liability (with employee exclusion deleted), against liability for injuries to persons and/or
property, in the minimum amount for each occurrence and for each year of $1,000,000, and

(iii)Such other insurance, including workers’ compensation insurance respecting
all employees of the Redeveloper, in such amount as is customarily carried by like
organizations engaged in like activities of comparable size and liability exposure; provided

497811v3 MNI SA285-104
that the Redeveloper may be self-insured with respect to all or any part of its liability for
workers’ compensation.
(c)All insurance required in this Article V shall be taken out and maintained in
responsible insurance companies selected by the Redeveloper that are authorized under the laws of
the State to assume the risks covered thereby. Upon request, the Redeveloper will deposit annually
with the Authority policies evidencing all such insurance, or a certificate or certificates or binders of
the respective insurers stating that such insurance is in force and effect. If permitted by
Redeveloper’s insurer at commercially reasonable rates, each policy shall contain a provision that
the insurer shall not cancel nor modify it in such a way as to reduce the coverage provided below
the amounts required herein without giving written notice to the Redeveloper and the Authority at
least thirty (30) days before the cancellation or modification becomes effective. In lieu of separate
policies, the Redeveloper may maintain a single policy, blanket or umbrella policies, or a
combination thereof, having the coverage required herein, in which event the Redeveloper shall
deposit with the Authority a certificate or certificates of the respective insurers as to the amount of
coverage in force upon the Minimum Improvements.
(d)The Redeveloper agrees to notify the Authority immediately in the case of damage
exceeding $100,000 in amount to, or destruction of, the Minimum Improvements or any portion
thereof resulting from fire or other casualty. In such event the Redeveloper will forthwith repair,
reconstruct, and restore the Minimum Improvements to substantially the same or an improved
condition or value as it existed prior to the event causing such damage and, to the extent necessary
to accomplish such repair, reconstruction, and restoration, the Redeveloper will apply the net
proceeds of any insurance relating to such damage received by the Redeveloper to the payment or
reimbursement of the costs thereof.
The Redeveloper shall complete the repair, reconstruction and restoration of the Minimum
Improvements, regardless of whether the net proceeds of insurance received by the Redeveloper for
such purposes are sufficient to pay for the same. Any net proceeds remaining after completion of
such repairs, construction, and restoration shall be the property of the Redeveloper.
(e)In lieu of its obligation to reconstruct the Minimum Improvements as set forth in this
Section, the Redeveloper shall have the option of: (i) if Redeveloper has assigned the Note to a
third party, paying to the Authority an amount that, in the opinion of the Authority and its fiscal
consultant, is sufficient to pay or redeem the outstanding principal and accrued interest on the Note,
or (ii) so long as the Redeveloper is the owner of the Note, waiving its right to receive subsequent
payments under the Note.
(f)The Redeveloper and the Authority agree that all of the insurance provisions set
forth in this Article V shall terminate upon the termination of this Agreement.
Section 5.2. Subordination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the rights of
the Authority with respect to the receipt and application of any insurance proceeds shall, in all
respects, be subordinate and subject to the rights of any Holder under a Mortgage allowed pursuant
to Article VII hereof.

ARTICLE VI
Tax Increment; Taxes
Section 6.1. Right to Collect Delinquent Taxes. The Redeveloper acknowledges that the
Authority is providing substantial aid and assistance in furtherance of the development through
reimbursement of the Public Redevelopment Costs. The Redeveloper understands that the Tax
Increments pledged to payment on the Note are derived from real estate taxes on the
Redevelopment Property, which taxes must be promptly and timely paid. To that end, the
Redeveloper agrees for itself, its successors and assigns, that in addition to the obligation pursuant
to statute to pay real estate taxes, it is also obligated by reason of this Agreement to pay before
delinquency all real estate taxes assessed against the Redevelopment Property and the Minimum
Improvements. The Redeveloper acknowledges that this obligation creates a contractual right on
behalf of the Authority to sue the Redeveloper or its successors and assigns to collect delinquent
real estate taxes and any penalty or interest thereon and to pay over the same as a tax payment to the
county auditor. In any such suit, the Authority shall also be entitled to recover its costs, expenses
and reasonable attorneys’ fees.
Section 6.2. Review of Taxes. The Redeveloper agrees that prior to the Maturity Date it
will not cause a reduction in the real property taxes paid in respect of the Redevelopment Property
through: (A) willful destruction of the Redevelopment Property or any part thereof; or (B) willful
refusal to reconstruct damaged or destroyed property pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof, except as
provided in Section 5.1(c) hereof. The Redeveloper also agrees that it will not, prior to the Maturity
Date, seek exemption from property tax for the Redevelopment Property or any portion thereof or
transfer or permit the transfer of the Redevelopment Property to any entity that is exempt from real
property taxes and state law (other than any portion thereof dedicated or conveyed to the City in
accordance with platting of the Redevelopment Property), or apply for a deferral of property tax on
the Redevelopment Property pursuant to any law.
Section 6.3. Assessment Agreements.
(a)At Closing, the Redeveloper shall, with the Authority, execute one or more
Assessment Agreements pursuant to Section 469.177, subd. 8 of the TIF Act, specifying an
assessor’s minimum market value for the Redevelopment Property and each of the North
Components and the South Components constructed thereon. As of January 2, 2019 and each
January 2 thereafter, notwithstanding the status of construction by such dates, the amount of the
minimum market value for the North Apartments Component shall be $______________, the
minimum market value for the North Commercial Space Component shall be $____________, the
minimum market value for the E-Generation Facility Component shall be $_____________, the
minimum market value for the South Apartments Component shall be $_____________, the
minimum market value for the South Commercial Space Component shall be $____________, and
the minimum market value for the Hotel Component shall be $_______________.
(b)Each Assessment Agreement shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as
Schedule G. Nothing in the Assessment Agreement shall limit the discretion of the assessor to

assign a market value to any Component of the Redevelopment Property in excess of such
assessor’s minimum market value; nothing in this Agreement or in the Assessment Agreement shall
limit the right of the Redeveloper, or its successors and assigns, to challenge a market value
determination that exceeds the established minimum market value for any Component of the
Redevelopment Property. Each Assessment Agreement shall remain in force for the period
specified in the Assessment Agreement.

Other Financing
Section 7.1. Generally. Before issuance of the Note, the Redeveloper shall submit to the
Authority or provide access thereto for review by Authority staff, consultants and agents, evidence
reasonably satisfactory to the Authority that Redeveloper has available funds, or commitments to
obtain funds, whether in the nature of mortgage financing, equity, grants, loans, or other sources
sufficient for paying the cost of the developing the Minimum Improvements, provided that any
lender or grantor commitments shall be subject only to such conditions as are normal and customary
in the commercial lending industry.
Section 7.2. Authority’s Option to Cure Default on Mortgage. In the event that any portion
of the Redeveloper’s funds is provided through mortgage financing, and there occurs a default
under any Mortgage authorized pursuant to this Article VII, the Redeveloper shall cause the
Authority to receive copies of any notice of default received by the Redeveloper from the Holder of
such Mortgage. Thereafter, the Authority shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure any
such default on behalf of the Redeveloper within such cure periods as are available to the
Redeveloper under the Mortgage documents.
Section 7.3. Modification; Subordination. The Authority agrees to subordinate its rights
under this Agreement to the Holder of any Mortgage securing construction or permanent financing,
in accordance with the terms of a subordination agreement substantially in the form attached as
Schedule E, or such other form as the Authority and Holder mutually agree (the “Subordination
Agreement”).

Prohibitions Against Assignment and Transfer; Indemnification
Section 8.1. Representation as to Development. The Redeveloper represents and agrees
that its purchase of the Redevelopment Property, and its other undertakings pursuant to the
Agreement, are, and will be used, for the purpose of development of the Redevelopment Property
and not for speculation in land holding.
Section 8.2. Prohibition Against Redeveloper’s Transfer of Property and Assignment of
Agreement. The Redeveloper represents and agrees that prior to issuance of a Certificate of
Completion for all of the Minimum Improvements (or the issuance of a Certificate of Completion
for the final Component):
(a)Except only by way of security for, and only for, the purpose of obtaining financing
necessary to enable the Redeveloper or any successor in interest to the Redevelopment Property, or
any part thereof, to perform its obligations with respect to undertaking the redevelopment
contemplated under this Agreement, and any other purpose authorized by this Agreement, the
Redeveloper has not made or created and will not make or create or suffer to be made or created any
total or partial sale, assignment, conveyance, or lease, or any trust or power, or transfer in any other
mode or form of or with respect to this Agreement or the Redevelopment Property or any part
thereof or any interest therein, or any contract or agreement to do any of the same, to any person or
entity whether or not related in any way to the Redeveloper (collectively, a “Transfer”), without the
prior written approval of the Authority (whose approval will not be unreasonably withheld, subject
to the standards described in paragraph (b) of this Section) unless the Redeveloper remains liable
and bound by this Redevelopment Agreement in which event the Authority’s approval is not
required. Any such Transfer shall be subject to the provisions of this Agreement. For the purposes
of this Agreement, the term Transfer does not include (i) acquisition of a controlling interest in
Redeveloper by another entity or merger of Redeveloper with another entity; (ii) any sale,
conveyance, or transfer in any form to any Affiliate; (iii) grant or conveyance of any Mortgage or
other financing obtained by the Redeveloper with regard to the completion of the Minimum
Improvements; (iv) any leases of the Redevelopment Property to residential or commercial tenants;
or (v) conveyance of any easements necessary for the Project.
(b)In the event the Redeveloper, upon Transfer of the Redevelopment Property or any
portion thereof either before or after issuance of the Certificate of Completion(s), seeks to be
released from its obligations under this Redevelopment Agreement as to the portion of the
Redevelopment Property that is transferred, the Authority shall be entitled to require, except as
otherwise provided in the Agreement, as conditions to any such release that:
(i)Any proposed transferee shall have the qualifications and financial
responsibility, in the reasonable judgment of the Authority, necessary and adequate to fulfill
the obligations undertaken in this Agreement by the Redeveloper as to the portion of the
Redevelopment Property to be transferred.

(ii)Any proposed transferee, by instrument in writing satisfactory to the
Authority and in form recordable in the public land records of Hennepin County, Minnesota,
shall, for itself and its successors and assigns, and expressly for the benefit of the Authority,
have expressly assumed all of the obligations of the Redeveloper under this Agreement as to
the portion of the Redevelopment Property to be transferred and agreed to be subject to all
the conditions and restrictions to which the Redeveloper is subject as to such portion;
provided, however, that the fact that any transferee of, or any other successor in interest
whatsoever to, the Redevelopment Property, or any part thereof, shall not, for whatever
reason, have assumed such obligations or so agreed, and shall not (unless and only to the
extent otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement or agreed to in writing by the
Authority) deprive the Authority of any rights or remedies or controls with respect to the
Redevelopment Property, the Minimum Improvements or any part thereof or the
construction of the Minimum Improvements; it being the intent of the parties as expressed in
this Agreement that (to the fullest extent permitted at law and in equity and excepting only
in the manner and to the extent specifically provided otherwise in this Agreement) no
transfer of, or change with respect to, ownership in the Redevelopment Property or any part
thereof, or any interest therein, however consummated or occurring, and whether voluntary
or involuntary, shall operate, legally, or practically, to deprive or limit the Authority of or
with respect to any rights or remedies on controls provided in or resulting from this
Agreement with respect to the Redevelopment Property that the Authority would have had,
had there been no such transfer or change. In the absence of specific written agreement by
the Authority to the contrary, no such transfer or approval by the Authority thereof shall be
deemed to relieve the Redeveloper, or any other party bound in any way by this Agreement
or otherwise with respect to the Redevelopment Property, from any of its obligations with
respect thereto.
(iii)Any and all legal documents involved in effecting the transfer of any interest
in this Agreement or the Redevelopment Property governed by this Article VIII, shall be in
a form reasonably satisfactory to the Authority.
(iv)At the written request of Redeveloper, the Authority shall execute and
deliver to Redeveloper and the proposed transferee an estoppel certificate containing
commercially customary and reasonable certifications.
In the event the foregoing conditions are satisfied then the Redeveloper shall be released from its
obligation under this Agreement, as to the portion of the Redevelopment Property that is transferred,
assigned, or otherwise conveyed.
Section 8.3. Release and Indemnification Covenants.
(a)Except for any willful misrepresentation or any willful or wanton misconduct or

party providing notice of default that the event will be cured and will be cured as soon as reasonably
possible:

Property and to terminate (and revest in the Authority) the estate conveyed by the Deed to

obligation of making or completing the Minimum Improvements as shall be satisfactory to the
Authority in accordance with the uses specified for such parcel or part thereof in the Redevelopment

and resale of the parcel (but less any income derived by the Authority from the property or part

improvements on the parcel or part thereof.
Any balance remaining after such reimbursements shall be retained by the Authority as its property.
Section 9.5. No Remedy Exclusive. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to any
party is intended to be exclusive of any other available remedy or remedies, but each and every such
remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given under this
Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. No delay or omission to
exercise any right or power accruing upon any default shall impair any such right or power or shall
be construed to be a waiver thereof, but any such right and power may be exercised from time to
time and as often as may be deemed expedient. To entitle the Authority to exercise any remedy
reserved to it, it shall not be necessary to give notice, other than such notice as may be required in
this Article IX.
Section 9.6. No Additional Waiver Implied by One Waiver. In the event any agreement
contained in this Agreement should be breached by either party and thereafter waived by the other
party, such waiver shall be limited to the particular breach so waived and shall not be deemed to

agreement on the part of the defaulting party under this Agreement, the defaulting party shall,
within twenty (20) days of written demand by the non-defaulting party, pay to the non-defaulting

St. Louis Park is engaging in two events:
Twin Cities Bike to Work Day is formally set for Friday, May 19th, from 7:30 to 9 am. The
city will have commuter “pit stops” at two locations on our regional trails to encourage and
promote bicycling to work. These rest stops will be located at Beltline Boulevard at the Cedar
Lake Regional Trail and Virginia Avenue at the North Cedar Lake Trail.
Bike the Park Family Bike Ride is formally set for Saturday, May 27th from 10:30 am to
1:00 pm. Participants will meet at the Aquila School parking lot and bike at a kid friendly
pace to Dakota Park and back.
Both events are intended to showcase the many benefits of bicycling in, around, and through St.
Louis Park.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: Not applicable.
VISION CONSIDERATION: St. Louis Park is committed to being a connected and engaged
community.

8. Resolutions, Ordinances, Motions and Discussion Items
8a. Carpenter Park Regional Stormwater Improvement. Resolution No. 17-063
and Resolution No. 17-064.
Ms. Monson presented the staff report. She noted the city of St. Louis Park is requesting a
Conditional Use Permit to construct an underground stormwater detention vault at the
southwest corner of Carpenter Park. As part of this project, the Engineering Department is
collaborating with the Operations and Recreation Department, which proposes to construct
a skate park that is approximately 6,000 square feet in area over top of the stormwater
detention vault.
Mr. Elkin stated that project benefits include removal of 27.6 lbs. of phosphorus per year,
which will benefit Bass Lake Reserve. Additionally, there will be a 16% reduction of
phosphorus into Minnehaha Creek Watershed. Benefits will also be realized to Carpenter
Park itself, including leveling out fields and creating more usable space. The total project
cost is $1,397,640. Mr. Elkin stated if approved, staff plans to open bids on May 8, with
the project beginning in June and proposed completion in September 2017.
Councilmember Brausen stated he is supportive of this project and asked staff what the
source of the phosphorus is and why are we concerned about filtering it. Mr. Elkin
explained phosphorus is based on the amount of impervious surface and is comprised of
leaves, sediment, and organic materials that get into the water, break down, and contribute
to poor water quality.
Councilmember Brausen asked Mr. Elkin for suggestions of what homeowners can do to
help limit phosphorus. Mr. Elkin stated residents can help by preventing grass clippings
from going into the street and by picking up dog waste. They can also build rain gardens
and use phosphorus-free lawn fertilizer.
Councilmember Hallfin stated that right next to the excavating land are two baseball fields.
He asked what the hours of operation are for the trucks hauling from the site. Mr. Elkin
noted the area will be fenced off, and the route used by the hauling trucks will not disrupt
parking or the baseball fields. He added working hours will be 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Councilmember Hallfin suggested that trucks not be allowed to haul until 10 p.m. on
weeknights, especially in light of the baseball fields, where 5-10-year-old children are
playing.
Councilmember Mavity stated she supports this project and has worked closely with the
Friends of Bass Lake Neighborhood Group. She noted this project is one step and will not
replace other efforts that will continue toward preserving Bass Lake. Mr. Elkin agreed and
added there will be other efforts implemented this year related to Bass Lake.
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 3a) Page 3
Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of April 3, 2017
Councilmember Sanger asked to verify where the 600 truckloads will be moving from this
parcel and that they will not be on Ottawa Avenue or Minnetonka Boulevard. Ms. Monson
confirmed that is correct.
Mr. Harmening asked about the elevation once the park is complete and if the stormsewer
will be underground. Mr. Elkin stated the stormsewer will be in an underground vault, and
the field will be leveled off with no slope.
It was moved by Councilmember Sanger, seconded by Councilmember Mavity, to adopt
Resolution No. 17-063, granting a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for the City of St. Louis
Park allowing the excavation of 6,000 cubic yards of material to construct an underground
stormwater detention system at 5005 Minnetonka Blvd, subject to conditions and to adopt
Resolution No. 17-064, approving final plans and specifications, and authorizing
advertisement for bids (Project No 4014-4001).
The motion passed 7-0.
8b. Excelsior & Monterey (Bridgewater Dominium Addition) Preliminary Plat
and PUD.
Mr. Walther presented the staff report. He stated the sites are 4424 and 4400 Excelsior
Blvd. and 3743 Monterey Drive. Council last discussed this development at a study session
in October 2016. Since that meeting, Dominium further reduced the proposed number of
apartments to 148 units and reduced the affordable housing to 8% of the units at 50% of
area median income (AMI). No other changes are proposed to the height, scale, or access
since the council’s last discussion.
Mr. Walther added that the development would combine three parcels into two parcels. He
noted that the Comprehensive Plan designates this site as Mixed Use, and the district allows
for mixed use, multi-family residential and commercial. There would be 380 parking
spaces provided on the site, with three levels of structured and shared parking.
Mr. Walther noted that access to the site is off of Excelsior Boulevard and Monterey Drive,
with an “entrance only” commercial driveway. He stated the first and sixth floors are
stepped back, and creates a colonnade on the first level. ADA ramps provide access.
Mr. Walther also noted traffic is a major issue. SRF Consulting Group did data collection
on traffic volumes during peak hours on weekdays. They also reviewed crash, sightlines,
and capacity. He noted that a dedicated right turn lane onto Park Commons Drive would
be added.
Mr. Mehl of Dominium spoke to the council and noted the biggest change to the
development is the density, which is down a total of 31 units. He added that traffic, density,
and green space were issues they addressed, along with setback. Mr. Mehl pointed out the
other developments in the area, and how theirs would be further set back, and with more
green space. He stated six stories will work, but if number of stories goes down from there,
the project will not make sense financially.
Councilmember Sanger stated she is not supporting this project for many reasons. She
stated the changes made by the developer are very minor, at best, and the project is still too
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 3a) Page 4
Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of April 3, 2017
dense. She noted there is still too much traffic in the area, not enough exits, and not enough
green space around the exterior of the building. This development will create 1,521 new in
and out movements. She stated the developer has had many meetings with council on these
issues, and the current proposal is troubling. Councilmember Sanger stated it is time to say
no to this project; to find a new developer; and to come up with a new project. She stated
she will not support it; will not support selling city owned land; and would support denial
of the PUD on the project.
Councilmember Lindberg stated he shares many of Councilmember Sanger’s comments,
noting the project is very dense and very tall. He added he does not feel like the result
reflects the interests of the citizens in this community, and it must be redone.
Councilmember Miller stated he supports denial of the project as there have been too few
changes. He added that affordable units have been lost, and the council is working hard to
put as many affordable units into the city as possible. He stated this building does not fit
well on Excelsior Boulevard, while it might work well on Highway 7 or in the West End.
Councilmember Miller stated he thinks the city can do better, especially since St. Louis
Park is very attractive to developers right now. He continued this corner can be so much
more.
Councilmember Brausen stated he has been generally supportive of this project, and was
pleased that traffic flow had been worked out, along with street changes and commercial
access. He is disappointed in the reduction of the number of affordable housing units, but
realizes it still does comport with the city’s current inclusionary housing policy. He added
he does not believe he can support the TIF the developer is looking for. Councilmember
Brausen continued that the project does improve the streetscape and does add some
affordable housing. He does support this more than he would an office building of 10
stories or more, noting that sometimes there are worse alternatives. Ultimately, he stated
he will vote in support of the project.
Councilmember Hallfin stated he cannot remember another time when there has been 99%
disapproval from constituents on a project. He added that both he and the council looks at
each project as an individual project and pointed out that he does listen to its constituents.
Councilmember Mavity stated this is a classic example that time itself does not solve
everything. She noted the project does not have the support of this council, and she will
vote in favor of a motion to deny it. She added we have guided this mixed use, and residents
have said they want more mixed use; however, she understands residents feel very strongly
against this project. Councilmember Mavity noted she has asked her neighbors what would
be an acceptable project, and they have said four stories, mixed use. However, the
developer stated this would not work. She stated she does want to see development on this
corner, noting that Excelsior Boulevard will handle more traffic. She added that the council
promised the community there would be a larger conversation, and now with Vision St.
Louis Park in process, the council wants input from residents.
Councilmember Mavity added that she liked the mixed use and not commercial-only space.
He added Dominium is a quality developer. She noted this is one project that the
community does not want. She added that there are positives; the development does
improve circulation, the step down makes it more interesting and attractive; and the
colonnade is unique and adds to the walkway. However, there are still density and massing
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 3a) Page 5
Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of April 3, 2017
issues. She said she sees the Excelsior and Monterey project issues as being more about
access and circulation, and even with the improvements that have been made to the plan,
it has not hit 100% yet.
Mayor Spano added this project does not have the votes nor the support at this time. He
stated he received many emails from residents, but all along he struggled with the density
of the development. He also cannot support that of the units that have been reduced, most
have been the affordable units that were taken out of the project. He stated that while he
understands what the developer is trying to do, the council cannot agree with taking away
two-thirds of the affordable units.
Mayor Spano also pointed out to the council that they need to be careful about comparing
projects on Excelsior with other areas of the city. We should try to take each project on its
own and give it the consideration it deserves. He added that ultimately the project does not
work for this area of the city.
It was moved by Councilmember Sanger, seconded by Councilmember Lindberg, to direct
staff to prepare resolutions and draft findings for denial of the Preliminary Planned Unit
Development and the denial of the Preliminary Plat with Variances.
The motion passed 6-1 (Councilmember Brausen opposed).
8c. Traffic Study No 677: Authorize Removal of Parking Restrictions on 31st
Street. Resolution No. 17-065
Ms. Heiser presented the staff report. She stated residents in this neighborhood contacted
staff with concerns about parking due to increased parking demand in the area. Currently,
parking is allowed on one side of 31st Street between Inglewood Avenue and the east city
boundary. The street is 30 feet wide, which is adequate to allow parking on both sides of
the street. The traffic committee recommends lifting restrictions on the south side of 31st
Street.
It was moved by Councilmember Sanger, seconded by Councilmember Hallfin, to adopt
Resolution No. 17-065, rescinding Resolution 3159 and removing parking restrictions on
the south side of 31st Street between Inglewood Avenue and the east city boundary in the
Triangle neighborhood.
The motion passed 7-0.
8d. Traffic Study No 678: Modify Parking Restrictions on Lynn Avenue.
Resolution No. 17-066.
Ms. Heiser presented the staff report. She noted staff was contacted by neighbors
requesting to adjust the parking restrictions to create additional on-street parking on Lynn
Avenue, south of Minnetonka Boulevard. The existing arrangement allows for
approximately 16 on-street parking spaces. The traffic committee recommends altering the
parking restrictions in the area. The proposed change would restrict parking on the west
side and allow parking on the east side of the street. This change would allow about 21
parking spaces, increasing on-street parking by 5 spaces.
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 3a) Page 6
Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of April 3, 2017
It was moved by Councilmember Sanger, seconded by Councilmember Brausen, to adopt
Resolution No. 17-066, rescinding Resolution 6478 rescinding Resolution 3636 and
modifying restrictions to allow continuous on-street parking on the east side of Lynn
Avenue between Minnetonka Boulevard and CSAH 25 Frontage Road in the Triangle
neighborhood.
The motion passed 7-0.
8e. Call for Public Hearing to Consider Establishment of Elmwood Apartments
TIF District. Resolution No. 17-067
Mr. Hunt noted he had nothing further to add to the staff report included in the packet.
It was moved by Councilmember Mavity, seconded by Councilmember Brausen, to adopt
Resolution No. 17-067, calling for a public hearing relative to the establishment of the
Elmwood Apartments Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District within Redevelopment
Project No. 1 (a redevelopment district).
The motion passed 7-0.
9. Communications
Councilmember Sanger noted the St. Louis Park Historical Society will present Tom Freidman,
speaking at the Jewish Community Center on Sunday, April 30. Tickets are available on the
Historical Society’s website, and there are only a few left.
Councilmember Miller stated NY columnist Peggy Ornstein, a St. Louis Park High School
graduate, will be speaking on Teen Health on April 8 at Edina Morningside Church.
Councilmember Brausen stated that in Ward 4, a couple burns will be going on, so if residents see
smoke in the area at the Westwood Nature Center and Lighter Park, be aware it is planned.
Mayor Spano stated there are still ways to engage and participate in the city’s visioning process
and asked the public to email staff or the councilmembers for more information.

Guest: Jeanne Anderson and Henry Solmer, St. Louis Park Historical Society
1. Walker Building - 6524 Walker Street
Ms. Anderson, representing the St. Louis Park Historical Society, stated the society has been
looking for a permanent home. The property at 6524 Walker Street is for sale and has been
identified by the society as a possible location for them. The building dates back to 1892 and is
the oldest commercial structure remaining in the community. Ms. Anderson noted the society
hopes the city would play a significant role in helping secure the building for their use. She
reviewed the society’s proposal with the council members.
Ms. Anderson added that the owner of the building has made many improvements, but the building
has been on the market since September 2015. The society would like it to come off the market as
soon as possible. While the building has not been appraised, the owner is asking $775,000 for it.
Ms. Anderson noted that the society cannot get a bank loan or ask for donations to purchase the
building. She stated they would need up front money in order to purchase it and would then pay
the money back as they were able. She noted there are three options:
1) City grant to buy the property
2) City loans to purchase with a flexible repayment plan based on fundraising. The society
would repay all or some of the amount of the loan over time
3) City purchase of the building and lease to the society for $1 per year. She added this is the
most common arrangement with other cities and their historical societies.
With all of the above options Ms. Anderson noted the society would need to hire a professional
fundraiser/executive director to raise donations to buy the building.
Councilmember Lindberg asked Mr. Hoffman about the condition of the building. Mr. Hoffman
stated the building is structurally sound, with a solid foundation and no evidence of rot. He stated
some mechanicals might need replacement, as well as the roof, and it would need updates to allow
for ADA access.

Title: Special Study Session Minutes of April 17, 2017
Mr. Solmer thanked Ms. Anderson and Mr. Achers, the history board chair, for their dedication.
He stated it would be a dream to own this building, and it would be great to see the building saved;
however, he felt the society would be best served if the city owned the building, and the society
was able to use some area of the building. He added the society would not be able to own and
operate the building by themselves.
Councilmember Mavity arrived at 5:20 p.m.
Councilmember Miller stated he is interested in preserving this building and in moving forward
with the city owning it. He added he sees this as a community building to be used by community
organizations, including the historical society, as well as others like the Nest.
Councilmember Sanger agreed with Councilmember Miller, stating it is critical to preserve the
building and to help develop an historic area of the Walker Lake area. She added she is not sure
this is the right spot for the Nest, but she would like it to be considered. Additionally, she noted
the city may want to lease it to the school district, adding the city needs to purchase the building
quickly before it is demolished.
Mr. Harmening stated the city has not spoken to the owner yet, but if the council wants to pursue
it, the city will do so.
Councilmember Brausen stated he is in favor of temporarily acquiring the title to the building for
the historical society and added that if the city is committed to redeveloping this area, they will
need to decide how best to do it and include more community engagement. He added it would be
useful to look at the visioning before making any decisions, adding he does not want to be
pressured into this.
Councilmember Mavity stated she has met with the historical society board and members, noting
the society does need a home. She added it makes sense for the city to invest in the building;
however, the city is not a management company and so would want a long-term private ownership.
She added the city could help to get the building on the national register and work with the owner
on an incentive for this, but again stated the city should not be managing the building or be a long-
term landowner.
Councilmember Lindberg agreed with Councilmember Mavity, and does not want the city to be in
the business of land ownership, especially when considering ongoing costs and renovating costs.
He added this is expensive, and he doesn’t favor a financial commitment or a property acquisition.
Councilmember Lindberg stated he has concerns and wants to be wise, not jumping into this
without a plan. He added he hopes for a creative solution.
Councilmember Hallfin stated he would be willing to take a leap here and help the society, noting
the council needs to get behind this effort and is in a position to do so. He asked if the purchase of
the building would involve creative financing or if the city would purchase it outright.
Mr. Harmening stated that if the council was interested in being assertive, the city has the resources
to do this through an EDA or HRA levy. However, he added that he views this project as more of
an economic development project for that area of the city, which the historical society can be part
of. He added it might be best to work with a developer and a private owner so that the city would
not have to manage the building, noting also that the city cannot underestimate the renovation costs
of this building, in addition to the purchase price.

Ms. Anderson stated that if the city or the society owned the building and it was placed on the
National Historic Register, they would be eligible for state grants, which would help with
reconstruction costs. A management company would manage the property.
Councilmember Sanger asked what the society knows about the building’s owner; to what extent
is the owner sympathetic to historic preservation; and would the owner be inclined to work with
the city. Ms. Anderson stated the owner wants the society to have the building, and he cares about
the building’s historical nature very much. After the building is sold, he would want to hold onto
part of the first floor for a time.
Councilmember Mavity stated the city will want to be sure they are not playing the marketplace
on this and that the owner is motivated to sell.
Mayor Spano said related to the issue of the Nest, he strongly encouraged the students to maintain
their vision and ideas of what they want. He asked Mr. Hoffman if the students wanted to do a
coffee shop or food prep in the building, would the remodel for that be expensive, and would there
be much work needed. Mr. Hoffman stated the building is classified as office space currently and
would need to be modernized and remodeled to meet code. He noted the costs would be high.
Mayor Spano added the city does not really have a downtown area and asked the council what the
broader vision is for this area. He stated the council has not had this discussion yet, adding that
other entities in this area might come to the council and ask the city to purchase their building also,
so care will have to be taken about setting precedent. However, he added that the city does need
to move forward on taking control of this building to create a sense of continuity, especially since
it is the oldest commercial building in the city. He noted that the downtown area buildings in his
hometown are all on the national historic register and that creates community, pride. It is a central
place people can go to and remember. Mayor Spano added this is an opportunity to get control of
one vintage building and is worth pursuing.
Mr. Harmening added if anyone would ask why the city purchased the building, he would say it
helps leverage additional redevelopment in the area. If the historical society is part of this
redevelopment, all the better.
It was the consensus of the council to have staff explore further options and the building owner’s
interest in working with the city.
Councilmember Lindberg noted that there needs to be communication with the public about this
building, as well.
2. Vision 3.0 Trends Exercise
At 6:15 p.m., the council and city staff members broke into table groups to work on a visioning
trend exercise with the consultant.
The council reconvened at 6:50 p.m. for a larger discussion with the consultant related to their
table work. The areas discussed included resources, technology, demographics and governance.
The group rated which items are ready to move forward on now and which are not ready.
The consultant stated she will bring more information back to the council related to the visioning
exercise results of the Steering Committee, as well.

5. Boards and Commissions - None
6. Public Hearings
6a. Public Hearing – Ordinance Related to Municipal Primary Elections and
Candidate Filing Requirements.
Ms. Kennedy presented the staff report. She stated that in 2016 the council discussed
several topics related to elections, including Ranked Choice Voting and the filing
requirements for candidates for municipal offices. During this discussion, a number of
concerns were raised by the council related to municipal elections, including the cost of
holding primary elections; staff resources related to the administration of primary elections;
historically low voter turnout at primary elections; perceived lack of serious candidates
filing for municipal office; and the undue burdens placed on candidates to run campaigns
for potentially both a primary and general election. At that time, it was the consensus of
the council that a switch to Ranked Choice Voting was not warranted, primarily because
the school district does not have the option to switch voting methods, and it was thought
that other measures could be taken to address the identified concerns. Staff was directed to
refer the issue to the Charter Commission for a recommendation on a potential amendment
to the charter. The Charter Commission met on February 22 and approved sending a
proposed amendment to the City Charter that would achieve several objectives, including
eliminating the need for a municipal primary election when 3 or more candidates file for a
specific office and amending the filing requirements for candidates by increasing the
number of signatures required on a nominating petition from 15 to 50. Ms. Kennedy noted
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 3c) Page 5
Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of April 17, 2017
that the Charter Commission also discussed increasing the candidate filing fee from its
current rate of $20, but ultimately decided against an increase because they did not want
running for office to become cost-prohibitive. Ms. Kennedy explained approval of the
proposed amendment would require a unanimous vote of all members of the council, and,
if approved, the amendment would not take effect until 90 days after passage and
publication.
Councilmember Mavity questioned if the proposed changes would be in effect for the 2017
election cycle.
Ms. Kennedy stated the amendment would not apply to the 2017 municipal election.
Mayor Spano opened the public hearing.
Carl Gamradt, 3347 Virginia Ave. S., stated he is present on behalf of Our Revolution Twin
Cities in support of Ranked Choice Voting. He stated people are no longer voting for the
candidate of their choice. They are voting for the opposite candidate, in order to get their
candidate in. He added they are voting for the person they hate the least, adding that voting
is too complicated. Mr. Gamradt stated we can give people the option to vote for more than
one person. Then votes are not wasted, and everyone gets to vote for who they believe in.
Councilmember Brausen cautioned that the topic of Ranked Choice Voting is not before
the council tonight and that the council can only vote on the amendment as proposed.
Bruce Fischer, 4359 Browndale Ave., stated he has been voting for a long time and has not
missed an election. He is a resident of St. Louis Park and graduated from the high school
in 1963. He stated that implementing Ranked Choice Voting may cause candidates to be
more responsive to each other in a positive manner. Additionally, a candidate may not be
a voter’s first choice but he or she might be their second choice. It might be easier for a
voter who doesn’t want to cast a negative vote.
Deb Brinkman, 4327 Alabama Ave. S., stated she is with League of Women Voters and
hopes the council would consider Ranked Choice Voting. She noted it is not new and has
been used in many local elections in Minneapolis and St. Paul. She added the benefits are
that it restores majority rule, and voters never feel like their vote is wasted. It also allows
for more voter choice and levels the playing field.
Suzann Willhite, 3905 Glenhurst Ave. S., encouraged all to vote, as it promotes
participation and active campaigns.
Jeanne Massey, 3606 Harriet Ave., commended Deb Brinkman and stated the way to
eliminate low voter turnout for primaries is to replace it with Ranked Choice Voting. She
stated it has been used for years in a dozen plus U.S. cities with a smooth transition. She
added it is well liked, preferred over the old system, and includes the benefit of reduction
of rancor between candidates. Machines are used to scan and count ballots quickly and
efficiently because the process is in place, and it is fast and transparent.
Diane Steen-Hinderlie, 2829 Yosemite Ave. S., stated she has lived in St. Louis Park for
over 30 years. She encouraged the council to eliminate the primary and adopt Ranked
Choice Voting as it ensures the majority rule and is legally proven to work.
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 3c) Page 6
Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of April 17, 2017
Denise Konen, 4228 Salem Ave. S., stated she has lived in St Louis Park since 1980 and
raised her children here. She would like to eliminate primaries and believes in Ranked
Choice Voting. She feels the city could be a role model to other cities, our state, and the
nation. She voted for everyone who did not win in the last election, and she would love the
idea that her vote could count. She would like elections where candidates treat each other
with more respect.
Sean Brown, 4228 Salem Ave. S., stated she is a 22-year resident of St. Louis Park. She
supports the amendment and encourages the council to adopt Ranked Choice Voting.
Kay Drache, 3067 Zarthan Ave. S., stated she is a longtime resident and has served as an
election judge since the 1990’s. She supports the amendment and Ranked Choice Voting.
Susana Presseller, 2200 Nevada Ave. S., stated she agrees with everything Deb Brinkman
said.
Loren Botner, 3067 Zarthan Ave. S, stated he prefers Ranked Choice Voting, adding it will
give a better opportunity to voters, while candidates need plurality. He added he has been
an election judge, as well, and would like to work the General Election only. He stated
there is now more national acceptance of Ranked Choice Voting as it allows for a more
statesman-like competition, eliminating all of the rancor. He asked the council to consider
it as an option.
Jim Levthur, 3128 Florida Ave. S., stated it would be better to vote against the proposed
amendment and do a new amendment for Ranked Choice Voting.
Douglas Johnson, 4093 Utica Ave. S., agreed with everything that has been said. He noted
when there are more than three candidates, the third-party candidate is usually the spoiler.
If primaries are eliminated, everything is moved to the General Election. He added that
Ranked Choice Voting respects all of our neighbors and our country.
David Pacheco, 8001 Victoria Lane, agreed with all that was said. He added that he agrees
with not increasing the primary fee and thinks Ranked Choice Voting is the next step. He
stated it makes every vote count, and since we are looking to promote diversity, this is very
important. He asked the council to support the proposal to eliminate the primary and
approve Ranked Choice Voting.
Luke Varian, 1345 Idaho Ave. S., stated Ranked Choice Voting allows people to run on
core ideals, adding it helps voters from polarizing their opinions.
Mayor Spano closed the public hearing.
Councilmember Mavity stated this had been a great discussion. She noted that before the
council tonight is a recommendation from the Charter Commission to eliminate the
primary, so there will be no vote on Ranked Choice Voting tonight. However, she noted it
is the first time the council has heard from residents on this issue. She stated she is certainly
listening and hopes her colleagues are, also. She would like to approve what is before the
council now and also to direct the Charter Commission to consider Ranked Choice Voting
and come back with an overall recommendation.
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 3c) Page 7
Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of April 17, 2017
Councilmember Sanger stated one comment from a speaker tonight asked the council to
include Ranked Choice Voting in the motion. She asked the attorney if that was an option
for tonight. Mr. Mattick stated it was not, and that he would prefer a vote on the amendment
as proposed without any additional direction.
Councilmember Sanger stated she is very supportive of both of these changes to the
election laws, including eliminating the primary and adopting Ranked Choice Voting. She
stated she also prefers raising the filing fee so candidates won’t file last minute and for
personal or frivolous reasons. She noted this proves costly and undercuts the process, if
candidates are not filing for office for the right reasons. She added that raising the
signatures to 50 is not enough either. She supports Ranked Choice Voting and also
requesting that the Charter Commission review and present a new recommendation to the
council.
Councilmember Brausen stated he supports the amendment as proposed, adding the council
did have a study session discussion on this, and the issue was raised related to the ability
of the school district to implement Ranked Choice Voting. He added he is also in favor of
the Charter Commission looking further into Ranked Choice Voting, noting that adopting
this ordinance amendment without adopting Ranked Choice Voting will result in plurality
winning.
Councilmember Lindberg stated he will support this amendment tonight and thanked
everyone for coming to the meeting because it is always informative and helpful to the
council. He stated that when this was discussed by the council at the earlier study session,
they talked about Ranked Choice Voting. The issue of the school district not being able to
adopt Ranked Choice Voting means that the city will have to run dual elections. He stated
that while he appreciates the motion to have the Charter Commission look further into
Ranked Choice Voting, he would prefer to take this back to a study session first for more
discussion and information.
Councilmember Hallfin agreed with Councilmember Lindberg, indicating that instead of a
motion, he would prefer another discussion on Ranked Choice Voting in study session.
Mayor Spano stated he is in support of the motion in front of the council. He added he
would also like to further discuss this at a future study session.
It was moved by Councilmember Mavity, seconded by Councilmember Sanger to approve
the first reading of an ordinance amending the St. Louis Park Home Rule Charter related
to Municipal Primary Elections and Candidate Filing Requirements.
The motion passed 7-0.
Councilmember Mavity stated this discussion has come up repeatedly, and the majority of
her colleagues have not recommended Ranked Choice Voting. She added this is the first
conversation where the community has spoken out. She hopes the council will consider
this at a study session soon.
Councilmember Sanger added she would be fine with having another study session on this
issue and wants it to include Ranked Choice Voting and other modifications to the election
system, along with further information about school board elections.
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 3c) Page 8
Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of April 17, 2017
6b. Public Hearing – PLACE Private Activity Revenue Bonds Financing
(Housing). Resolution 17-073
Mr. Simon and Mr. Locke introduced Julie Eddington, the city’s bond attorney from
Kennedy and Graven, who noted that PLACE received a multi-family housing bond
allocation from the state for $27,185,503, in January, 2017. This was less than the original
request, due to the oversubscription of housing bonds, but it is still sufficient for PLACE
to accept the allocation. As part of the acceptance, they have to issue bonds within 120
days of the allocation award date. Since financing approvals are necessary to issue the
bonds, the Private Activity Bond issue will not be complete prior to the allocation
expiration date. The borrower has requested the city issue a short-term Private Activity
Multi-Family Revenue Note, which will be a private placement. Within one year of the
issuance of the short-term note, bonds will be issued which will refund the note and finance
the remaining costs of the housing project. She stated these bonds/notes will not impact the
city’s ability to issue bank qualified bonds for its own purposes this year, and if something
catastrophic happened, any default on the part of the borrower has no effect on the city’s
credit rating and no effect on an audit with the IRS either. Further, it will not impact the
city’s bottom line.
Mayor Spano opened the public hearing.
John Standal, 9955 Spring Rd., Eden Prairie, stated he owns two buildings in St. Louis
Park at the location, and this is a big deal. He thought he would hold the building until light
rail came in and then sell it, and now he does not want to sell the building. He noted the
developer’s plan put the PLACE building too close to his building. There is no setback,
and shading is now a problem. He added there will be traffic and parking issues, with the
access from Yosemite, stating he does not think it is a good development. He stated the
developer is not the one for this project, and he asked the council to look for something
better.
Pat Wells, 3379 Brunswick Ave. S., stated he has been communicating with council
members and thinks the council are idealists, although the Mayor has an open mind. He
stated he is against the PLACE project but knows that he may be outnumbered. He stated
the developer submitted a patent request to the US Patent office. It was rejected. The project
is not as cutting edge as the council thinks. He added the city will have to help the developer
if he goes broke, noting the developer has gone into foreclosure in the past. He has concerns
and would like the council to reject the project.
J.W. Sterad, 5825 Goodrich Ave., stated that many in the community are very excited about
this project as the plans and vision fit with our community. He did, however, note he lives
1,000 feet from PLACE, and traffic will be an issue. He asked that the council apply the
brakes and do this properly.
Christina Ridley, 3381 Gorham Ave., stated she is speaking on behalf of Perspectives, a
non-profit that helps women and children in the community. She stated the housing will
help these people. It will change the city and help those who need it most. She added they
are excited for what is going to be available for them.
Roger Ankin, 3600 Wooddale Ave. S., stated he spoke to the Planning Commission about
this project. He noted he lives across from the project, and it does not fit into the area. He
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 3c) Page 9
Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of April 17, 2017
stated that the building will tower over and close in the area rather than keeping it nice and
open, as the corner is now. He added the wildlife in the area will be lost, and he is not
happy about wind turbines on top of a 100-foot building.
Mayor Spano closed the public hearing.
Councilmember Mavity stated a lot is happening in Ward 2, and she appreciates the
comments made. She stated that the council has been discussing this project for three to
four years. While she understands these comments, there have been many community
meetings over the years and many opportunities for input. She added she has been in
support of this project. She agreed it is a complex project but added at this point the city is
obliged to continue to support it, and there is no financial risk to the city. She added this
conversation is not over and stated the council wants to be sure the developer has all the
input from the community to continue to improve the project.
Councilmember Miller stated he appreciates this development and actively supports it. He
stated that while he has not supported it in its entirety, this project does give something
back to the community, and this is the threshold he uses. He noted there are lots of great
spaces in the development - retail, coffee shop, hotel, trees - as well as the wonerf, which
is open space in the middle. He added it meets the vision that has been articulated by
residents, and he supports it.
Councilmember Sanger stated she is not going to support the proposal and objects to the
timing of considering the land use proposals tonight, since the deadline for EAW comments
is only two days away, and all the comments have not yet been received. She stated the
timing of taking action on the project now makes the project’s EAW a sham, and she has
many concerns. She stated the positives include the environmentally sustainable concept
and space for artists, but there are many negatives, as well. She stated there is not enough
parking for residents and guests, and the consultant miscalculated the parking needed. She
added that the ride share numbers were overestimated, as well. Traffic is a concern, and
two-thirds of the units being affordable is too high of a concentration. She noted that if
rents cannot be raised, there will be a downward spiral in the maintenance and quality of
the buildings, noting the Cedar Riverside Apartments in Minneapolis as an example of a
mixed income project gone awry. She stated she does not want the city of St. Louis Park
to have to bail out the developer on this project. Councilmember Sanger stated the
developer has no financial skin in the game and is still $23 million short. She is deeply
concerned about the financial issues, noting the project will be valued at $67 million. She
stated that since the city owns the parcels, we should wait for a better proposal with fewer
impacts to the community.
Councilmember Brausen stated he will support this motion to approve the project. He
assured tax payers the council and staff have vetted this project for two years, and the
developer has worked with the city to develop, modify and improve the project. He added
this supports a larger purpose, and people in this community need affordable housing. He
stated the council needs to be more proactive on this, adding the project incorporates
wonderful environmental aspects, as well. He again stressed this is a challenging project
for the developer, but the taxpayers are protected. There have been many letters of support
from residents on this project. He added also that St. Louis Park is a built-up suburban area,
and traffic will always be a challenge.

Councilmember Mavity stated she appreciated Ms. Monson’s presentation, adding it was
very thorough and clear. She noted this is an enormous step forward, stating we can
cautiously celebrate each step along the way. When the project is completed, there will be
a big celebration.
Mayor Spano stated this is a bold project and not without risk. He added that the council
understands this, is willing to take these risks, and is not willfully ignorant. He added the
council has also been talking about this project and these risks for many years.
8b. Excelsior & Monterey (Bridgewater Dominium Addition) Preliminary Plat
and Preliminary PUD. Resolution No. 17-075
Mr. Walther presented the staff report. He stated the council reviewed the proposal on April
3, 2017, and approved a motion to direct staff to prepare the resolution and findings of fact
supporting the denial of the Preliminary Plat with variances and Preliminary Planned Unit
Development for the proposed Excelsior & Monterey development and Bridgewater
Dominium addition.

Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of April 17, 2017
Mayor Spano noted that Councilmember Brausen left the meeting at 10:15 p.m., adding he
has been a strong advocate and supporter of this project and hopes that a new development
will come back at a future date.
It was moved by Councilmember Sanger, seconded by Councilmember Lindberg, to adopt
Resolution No. 17-075, denying rezoning to Planned Unit Development and denying
preliminary plat with variances.
The motion passed 6-0. (Councilmember Brausen absent)
8c. Traffic Study No. 679: Snow Removal Exempt Parking List Revisions.
Resolution No. 17-076
Ms. Heiser presented the staff report. She stated the city’s snow removal ordinance restricts
on-street parking after a snowfall. In the case of a snow emergency, on-street parking is
restricted until streets are plowed from curb to curb and snowfall has ended. She noted
additionally that there are some exceptions to the winter parking ordinance, where parking
is limited due to nearby apartment buildings or commercial businesses. In these areas,
parking is allowed within the first 24 hours of the snow emergency. After the first 24 hours,
vehicles must be moved to a plowed street and vehicles not moved are subject to ticketing
and towing.
It was moved by Councilmember Miller, seconded by Councilmember Mavity, to adopt
Resolution No. 17-076 rescinding Resolution No. 03-180 and approving the revised list of
snow removal exempt parking areas.
The motion passed 6-0. (Councilmember Brausen absent).
8d. Resolution Supporting Local Decision Making Authority. Resolution No. 17-
077
Mr. Locke presented and explained that the League of Minnesota Cities has drafted a model
resolution for city councils concerned about the proliferation of 2017 legislative initiatives
aimed at restricting local decision-making. The resolution supports local decision-making
authority and opposes legislation that removes the ability for local elected officials to
respond to the needs of their businesses and constituents.
Mayor Spano stated there are currently 35 bills in the legislature which penalize local
governments for certain decisions they make.
Councilmember Mavity stated she serves on the League of Minnesota Cities Board and
this issue is the single most important issue cities are fighting for. She added this
undermining is unprecedented, and the more we can stand in alignment, the better it is for
our city.
Councilmember Miller added he hopes other municipalities continue to do this, as it is
about taking away local decision making, which includes affordable housing and sanctuary
cities. He asked that residents contact their legislators on this issue.

APRIL 24, 2017
1. Call to Order
Mayor Spano called the special meeting to order at 5:00 p.m.
Councilmembers present: Mayor Jake Spano, Tim Brausen, Steve Hallfin, Gregg Lindberg, Anne
Mavity, and Susan Sanger.
Councilmembers absent: Thom Miller.
Staff present: City Manager (Mr. Harmening) and Planning and Zoning Supervisor (Mr. Walther).
Guests: Sheldon Berg, DJR Architects
1a. Roll Call
2. Resolutions, Ordinance, Motions and Discussion Items
2a. Parkway 25 – PUD Major Amendment to Section 36-268 PUD 7.
Mr. Walther presented the staff report. He noted that Parkway 25, LLC, submitted an
application for a major amendment to section 36-268 PUD 7 that established the zoning
for the Parkway 25 redevelopment located at 4005, 4015, and 4027 County Road 25 (the
former Vescio’s restaurant and Valu Stay Inn). The council approved the Parkway 25 PUD
in September, 2016, which allowed for the construction of a five-story, mixed-use building
with 112 residential units; 8,850 square feet of ground floor commercial space; and parking
located in two surface lots and in an underground parking ramp.
Mr. Walther stated the original proposal included a restaurant and a fitness center. The
applicant is requesting an amendment to the PUD to allow for medical uses and to increase
the size of the ground floor commercial area from 8,850 square feet to 12,040 square feet.
The plan would decrease the west surface parking lot from 25 spaces to 14 spaces to
accommodate the additional commercial space and would reduce the east surface parking
lot from 30 parking spaces to 29 spaces to install a turnaround space. The change from
restaurant to medical office space decreases the parking demand, and the proposed parking
counts would meet the city’s requirements.
Mr. Walther noted the additional 3,190 square feet of commercial space would be added
to the west side of the building’s ground floor, which was previously parking spaces located
under a cantilevered portion of the building. The additional commercial space requires the
parking lot to be shifted 5 feet to the west to allow for increased circulation, resulting in
the removal of landscaping on the west property line. Additionally, landscaping is being
installed elsewhere on the site to make up for the removals. The development will include
112 residential dwelling units and will remain 5 stories in height. The only proposed
changes occur on the ground floor of the building.
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 3d) Page 2
Title: Special City Council Meeting Minutes of April 24, 2017
Mr. Walther stated the Planning Commission recommends council’s approval of the PUD,
with conditions noted by staff.
Councilmember Sanger stated she was disappointed the restaurant will not be located at
the development, as she was looking forward to it. However, she added that these other
uses are acceptable at the site.
Councilmember Mavity asked if this will be a 10 or 15-year commercial lease and also
what the term of lease is to allow for this use. Mr. Berg responded the lease term is 10-
years with two 5-year extensions, so potentially a 20-year lease term.
Councilmember Mavity asked what “private indoor entertainment” means. Mr. Walther
stated this refers to either the planned fitness center or such things as pool halls, arcades,
and bowling alleys.
Councilmember Brausen asked if the smaller commercial space on the east side of the
development could house a smaller restaurant or coffee shop. Mr. Berg said yes and added
that the infrastructure will be left in place for those types of businesses, so that could be a
possibility in the future. Councilmember Brausen stated he is happy to hear that as he hopes
the area along County Road 25 will become more pedestrian-friendly. He added that he
shares in Councilmember Sanger’s disappointment about there now being no restaurant;
however, he will still offer his support.
Councilmember Sanger asked about the timeline for the start of construction and when the
building will be open for business. Mr. Berg stated they expect to begin construction by
mid-May or early-June, and it will be completed in 14 months.
It was moved by Councilmember Sanger, seconded by Councilmember Mavity, to approve
First Reading of an ordinance amending Section 36-268 PUD 7 of the Zoning Code for
property located at 4005, 4015, and 4027 County Road 25, and set the second reading for
May 1, 2017.
The motion passed 6-0.
3. Adjournment

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Parkway 25 – PUD Major Amendment to Section 36-268 PUD 7
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to approve Second Reading and Adopt Ordinance
amending Section 36-268 PUD 7 of the Zoning Code for property located at 4005, 4015, & 4027
County Road 25, and approve the Summary Ordinance for publication.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does the City Council support the proposed Major Amendment
to the Parkway 25 PUD?
SUMMARY: Parkway 25, LLC submitted an application for a Major Amendment to Section 36-
268 PUD 7 that established the zoning for the Parkway 25 redevelopment located at 4005, 4015,
& 4027 County Road 25 (the former Vescio’s restaurant and Valu Stay Inn). City Council
approved the Parkway 25 PUD in September 2016 which allowed for the construction of a five
story, mixed-use building with 112 residential units, 8,850 square feet of ground floor commercial
space, and parking located in two surface lots and in an underground parking ramp.
The original proposal included a restaurant and a fitness center. The applicant is requesting an
amendment to the PUD to allow for medical uses and to increase the size of the commercial square
footage from 8,850 square feet to 12,040 square feet. The plan would decrease the west surface
parking lot from 25 spaces to 14 spaces to accommodate the additional commercial space, and
reduce the east surface parking lot from 30 parking spaces to 29 spaces to install a turnaround
space. The change from restaurant to medical office decreases the parking demand and parking
counts would meet the city requirements.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on April 19, 2017 and no comments were
received. Planning Commission voted 6 to 0 to recommend approval of the Major Amendment.
City Council held a First Reading of an Ordinance on April 24, 2017 and voted 6 to 0 to approve
the Major Amendment to Section 36-268 PUD 7 for Parkway 25.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: None at this time.
VISION CONSIDERATION: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a well-maintained and
diverse housing stock.

Uses: The proposal includes a mix of commercial and residential amenity space and dwelling units
on the ground floor and residential units on floors two through five. The ground level was
originally approved with 7 ground floor dwelling units split between the buildings east and west
sides and 8,850 square feet of commercial space. The developer proposes moving all ground floor
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 4b) Page 5
Title: Parkway 25 – PUD Major Amendment to Section 36-268 PUD 7
residential units to the building’s east side while modestly reducing the size of those units. The
applicant proposes commercial space on both the east and west sides of the building: 2,237 gross
square feet of commercial space on the building’s east side and 9,785 gross square feet of
commercial space on the west side, for a total of 12,040 square feet of commercial space.
Height: No changes to height are proposed. Parkway 25 will remain 67 feet and 5 stories tall.
Parking: A restaurant use requires more parking than a medical use which reduces the overall
parking requirements from 230 parking spaces to 209 parking spaces. The plans include 218
parking spaces and meet the parking requirements for the amended uses.
Landscaping: The revised plans decrease the number of trees and plantings on the site due to the
shifting of the west parking lot. The plan proposes 87 deciduous trees, 317 shrubs, and 1083
perennials, while the original plan called for 91 deciduous trees, 306 shrubs, and 1,146 perennials.
Due to the loss of landscape materials, the applicant worked with the city’s Natural Resource
Coordinator to increase the quality and diversity of the tree and plant species. The plans continue
to meet the intent of the landscape ordinance.
Designed Outdoor Recreation Area (DORA): The proposed development plans illustrate DORA
through the inclusion of the 12,626 square feet outdoor space in the rear of the building, including
11,654 square feet for an outdoor recreation plaza and a 972 square foot dog park. The plan exceeds
the City’s minimum 12% DORA requirements, and provides approximately 18.4% of DORA. The
previous approved plans included 12,187 square feet (17.7%) of DORA space.
NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING: A neighborhood meeting was held on April 6, 2017 to discuss
the proposed changes to the uses and ground floor of the building. There was disappointment that
a restaurant is no longer part of the proposed development, and there were questions to clarify the
location of parking.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends amending Section 36-368 PUD 7 and the Official Exhibits for Parkway
25:
1.The site shall be developed, used and maintained in accordance with the conditions of this
ordinance, approved Official Exhibits, and City Code.

C.Major Amendment to PUD – Parkway 25
Location: 4005, 4015 and 4027 County Rd. 25
Applicant: Sela Group, LLC
Case No.: 17-13-PUD
Jennifer Monson, Planner, presented the staff report. She noted a correction in the
proposed motion. The zoning code section to be amended is 36-268 PUD 7, not 26-268
PUD 7. She explained that the original PUD commercial uses included a restaurant. The
applicant has requested an amendment to the PUD to allow for medical uses and to increase
the size of the commercial area. Proposed changes occur only on the ground floor of the
building. The amendment would decrease the west surface parking lot and the east surface
parking lot. Landscaping on the west property line will be removed and additional
landscaping will be installed elsewhere on the site to make up for removals.
Ms. Monson presented existing approved plans and proposed plans. She reviewed uses,
height, parking, landscaping, DORA and public input.
Commissioner Person asked if the developer has a medical office tenant.
Ms. Monson responded that a medical office tenant has been named.
Commissioner Person asked about the small commercial space.
Sean Walther, Planning and Zoning Supervisor, stated that space would be an executive
office space of the medical office.
Chair Peilen asked about the pool house from the existing plan.
Dean Dovolis, architect, DJR Architecture, explained that pool equipment would have been
stored in the pool house. That equipment space has now been moved inside, resulting in
more green space outdoors.
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 4b) Page 13
Title: Parkway 25 – PUD Major Amendment to Section 36-268 PUD 7
Chair Peilen stated she was disappointed over the loss of the restaurant as an amenity. She
said she understood with the amendment that there was no longer the required parking
available for a restaurant. She asked if in the future there might be a food service of some
type.
Mr. Dovolis said it’s possible a coffee shop or food use could operate in the future.
Chair Peilen opened the public hearing. As no one was present wishing to speak she closed
the public hearing.
Commissioner Johnston-Madison made a motion recommending approval of Major
Amendment to Section 36-268 PUD 7 subject to conditions recommended by staff.
Commissioner Carper seconded the motion, and the motion passed on a vote of 6-0.

Location: 5605 W. 36th Street
Applicant: PLACE E-generation One, LLC
Case No: 17-04-CP, 17-05-S, 17-06-PUD, 17-07-VAR
Jennifer Monson, Planner, presented the staff report. Ms. Monson provided the
development summary and site information. She said for the last 20 years the city has
anticipated the site to redevelop and has actively purchased properties around the site for
that redevelopment. The expectation is that it would redevelop into a transit oriented
mixed use development. Ms. Monson spoke about the land use and transportation studies
in the area which identify the site as future transit oriented development.
Ms. Monson provided background on PLACE’s proposal which began with discussions
in November, 2013. She reviewed the public process for PLACE which has occurred
since that time.
The applicant requests a change to the future land use designation of the site to MX
Mixed Use to create a pedestrian scale mixed use building with retail service or other
commercial uses on the ground floor, and residential or office uses on upper floors. Ms.
Monson stated that MX Mixed Use is intended to facilitate a diversity of uses in certain
areas of the community. She reviewed the goals and vision of the Mixed Use designation
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 4f) Page 2
Title: Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of March 15, 2017
in the Comprehensive Plan and the availability of infrastructure which staff uses to
analyze requests.
Ms. Monson spoke about the Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) which has
been completed. The comment period for the EAW ends on April 5, 2017.
Ms. Monson discussed city improvements to be made to the transportation network
related to SWLRT and the PLACE development.
Ms. Monson provided staff analysis of the request for Preliminary and Final Plat which
would combine nine properties in the northeast quadrant of Wooddale Ave. and W. 36th
Street intersection.
Ms. Monson discussed the PUD request, including the helical wind turbine to be located
on the property. She discussed the robust mobility plan which includes a bike share and
car share. She discussed parking, building materials, landscaping, sustainability and
energy efficiency.
Ms. Monson stated on Feb. 23, 2017 PLACE held its 8th neighborhood meeting with 60
people in attendance. Concerns included increased traffic, inadequate parking, density,
hotel, number of affordable units and increase of neighborhood taxes. Support included
the density near light rail, dedication to car-free living, building design, inclusion of
affordable housing and the community offered by the project such as the woonerf and
urban forest.
Chris Velasco, applicant, PLACE E -generation One, stated that PLACE exists for the
purpose of building healthy communities for all and specializes in creating communities
that are for the arts and feature a high degree of sustainable design. He provided
examples of live/work spaces in the project.
Mr. Velasco spoke about Marriott’s interest in the proposed hotel. This would bundle
housing and jobs together. He said three independent market studies completed for hotel
at the site were positive. He spoke about PLACE and Marriott’s relationship with Park
Nicollet Health Services. Patients and families could stay one-half mile from Park
Nicollet clinics and the hospital.
Mr. Velasco explained the sustainability features of the project. He discussed benefits of
the development to the St. Louis Park community.
Commissioner Carper asked how residents would commute until 2021 when SWLRT is
projected to begin.
Ms. Monson responded that the city is requiring the developer to offer a shuttle for the
first three years or until SWLRT is complete. The hotel will also be providing a shuttle to
and from the airport.
Commissioner Carper and Ms. Monson discussed standards, height, pole, location, sound
and code regarding the proposed helical turbine.
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 4f) Page 3
Title: Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of March 15, 2017
Mr. Velasco provided dimensions for the proposed turbine.
Sean Walther, Planning and Zoning Supervisor, noted that code would allow a helical
style turbine, however the ordinance contemplated a rotary style. The main modification
being requested through PUD is to allow a rooftop mounted turbine rather than a ground
mounted turbine. He said staff believes that would also reduce the overall height of the
turbine that is required.
Commissioner Rickert asked if apartments would be sound proofed for musicians.
Mr. Velasco responded that is very difficult to do for apartment units. Four soundproof
rooms will be built, however.
Commissioner Rickert asked who would have access to the Urban Forest area.
Mr. Velasco said anyone in the community would have access to the Urban Forest area,
all year long.
Commissioner Kanne asked what would happen if the hotel fails.
Mr. Velasco responded he thinks the relationship PLACE has with Park Nicollet and
Methodist Hospital would prevent that from happening. Their use of the hotel will assure
high occupancy. He said the three feasibility studies done on a proposed hotel do not
indicate failure.
Commissioner Kanne spoke about the email sent by resident Janet Zastrow, 3700
Wooddale Ave. S., which referenced the Schmidt Artist Lofts in St. Paul as a
development community for artists. Commissioner Kanne said she understands one of the
problems with that development is that artists are resisting rules and regulations.
Mr. Velasco stated he has a great deal of experience in development for the arts and
live/work units. He spoke about very specific rules called house privileges and
commitments which are shared with applicants.
Chair Peilen asked how traffic would proceed south on Wooddale Ave.
Jack Sullivan, staff engineer reviewing PLACE, and staff liaison for SWLRT, said a
small percentage of drivers will want to make a left turn. He said driver behavior and
habits will transition over time for right turn movements at that location. Vehicle
movements will use Hwy. 100 and Hwy. 7 access locations. He said he anticipates very
little traffic heading to or from the Sorensen neighborhood. He added that the removal of
the left turn out would have happened with or without the PLACE development.
Chair Peilen said the number of required parking spots has been reduced but less car-use
is an experiment. She asked if that doesn’t work is there a way to get more parking
spaces.
Ms. Monson said the developer has been required to provide a Proof of Parking
document which shows they could provide another 55 parking spaces. There are also
other opportunities where spaces could be leased in the neighborhood.
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 4f) Page 4
Title: Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of March 15, 2017
Chair Peilen said two-thirds of the units are affordable housing. She asked if PLACE
would have the budget to maintain the building with those lower rents.
Mr. Velasco said developers must contribute heavily to capitalized operating and
replacement reserves upfront and those are deemed sufficient for maintenance and
improvements.
Chair Peilen commented that her biggest concern is that so much of the project is
predicated on light rail occurring.
Commissioner Johnston-Madison read from Walker Parking consultant conclusion on
page eight. She said she is concerned about the lag time between light rail operation and
the time people start moving into PLACE. She said she is concerned during those three
years there will be parking and traffic in the neighborhood. She said she’s concerned that
this is an experiment. She asked about the Level of Service summary.
Mr. Sullivan stated that the Level of Service designation is per intersection. Level of
Service D or better is what the Council and Engineering department have historically
used as acceptable.
Commissioner Johnston-Madison said the city needs to have developments that don’t
perpetuate Level of Service D throughout this entire quadrant. She said the City Council
has heard from many people that they are unhappy with this and it doesn’t seem the issue
is being listened to.
Commissioner Johnston-Madison asked about incentives for not driving.
Mr. Velasco said the car-free perks include a $70/month stipend to not have a car.
Commissioner Johnston-Madison spoke about poor bus service prior to light rail.
Mr. Velasco spoke about discussions held with Metro Transit about improved levels of
bus service prior to light rail operation.
Commissioner Johnston-Madison spoke about a January 2016 neighborhood meeting
where PLACE spoke about additional organic waste to be shipped in for the generator.
She asked why this has been dropped from plans.
Mr. Velasco said PLACE had been discussing working with the City’s organic program
for this but there was a mis-match in sorting. He said it seems the best thing to do was to
scale down the E-generation facility. Spent grain will also be provided by Steel Toe
Brewery to bolster PLACE’s local collection.
Commissioner Carper asked about shading.
Mr. Walther responded that there are exceptions to shading when the shadow occurs
within the PUD. On this site the northwest corner of 36th & Yosemite would be impacted.
The west wall of the existing one-story commercial building would be impacted.
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 4f) Page 5
Title: Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of March 15, 2017
Chair Peilen opened the public hearing.
Roger Onken, 3600 Wooddale Ave. S. #212, stated he loves the philosophy and design.
He doesn’t like the height of the building. He said he thinks six stories for St. Louis Park
is too high. Reducing the height would reduce the number of units and parking spaces.
He doesn’t feel assured that enough people would choose to go car-free at the
development, particularly with the delay of light rail. He said he doesn’t like the
inadequate tree and shrub count. He said the employees and customers related to
live/work units would require more parking. He said he is concerned about the impact of
a hotel of that size on the neighborhood. He said he felt there is a lot of unknown with
the proposal. He stated he is concerned about his building’s driveway exit to get on to
Highway 7. There will be a better sense of the perfect scenario with light rail in 2021.
He said he thought the turbine would be intrusive with the height of the building. He said
he didn’t like the proposed setback on 36th and Wooddale.
Sheila Asato, Monkey Bridge Arts, 6801 W. Lake St., said PLACE sounds ideal for
studio space and light rail. She asked if units are rental or for sale.
James McDonough, 2840 Cavell, a 42-year resident, said he is heavily involved in the
arts in St. Louis Park. He said he is fully supportive of the project and understands
creative visioning involves a risk. He said that is the way with all progress and
development. Mr. McDonough said his hope is that PLACE’s rental apartment
development will be his next destination. He said he encourages the Commission’s strong
and full support for the project.
Russell Griesner, 3700 Wooddale Ave S. #14, commented that as a creative he couldn’t
be more excited about PLACE. He said it is exactly what St. Louis Park needs and it is
the reason he was attracted to this community. He said he doesn’t think it is an
experiment with the traffic. He said we live in a time where car-free desire is here, now.
He stated members of his family would love to have living space which is car-free.
Alonso Ramos, 3738 Dakota Ave. S., stated that he just bought his first house and is new
in the neighborhood. He said he is concerned about decrease of property values related
to affordable. He said the project minimizes winter and car concerns. He said he used to
live in affordable housing in Minnesota. He spoke about problems and disrespect he
experienced. He said he is concerned about security and safety with affordable housing
with light rail. He said the Lake and Hiawatha rail station is scary. He spoke about a
study which shows higher housing property crimes in areas with affordable housing. He
said he isn’t opposed to the project but the location is the wrong location. Mr. Ramos
distributed copies of his notes.
Danielle Griesner, 3700 Wooddale Ave. S., #14, stated her background is public health
and she works to better the health of families and communities to make the healthy
choice the easy choice. She said is excited about walkability and sustainability which is
why her family moved to St. Louis Park and she is in full support of the project.
J.W. Starrett, 5825 Goodrich Ave. S., said his concern is traffic and parking. He said it is
a very exciting project for the community. He said he feels like they’ve been backed into
this. The expectations and innovation are good in the beginning. He said the expectations
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 4f) Page 6
Title: Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of March 15, 2017
have all moved backwards to a point where an adequate level is met for right now. He
said he is excited about the future but we aren’t ready for 2021. He said he doesn’t think
the traffic numbers are giving the right picture and he recommends that the Planning
Commission conduct another traffic study. It will make a big difference as to why this
works. Mr. Starrett said he has concerns about all the new rental units in the city which
are at full occupancy which affects traffic and parking. He said Fair Housing will make
sure everyone gets in and the management won’t be able to force everyone to be an artist
or to follow the rules. He said the city needs to be realistic about the numbers and that we
haven’t backed ourselves into a project.
Chair Peilen acknowledged the receipt of an email dated March 14, 2017, from Janet
Zastrow, 3700 Wooddale Ave. S., #5, expressing concerns about the project. Also
received is a letter dated March 13, 2017, from Joel A. Hilgendorf, attorney representing
Standal Properties, objecting to the request for variance to the shading requirement.
Chair Peilen closed the public hearing as no one else was present wishing to speak.
Chair Peilen stated that the city has very stringent rental regulations and she is assured
that PLACE will be required to do background checks on all rental applicants. She said
there is a very strong inspections and complaint process in the city as well as very strong
rental housing laws.
Mr. Walther said the live/work spaces for employee parking was factored in to studies.
Peak times are studied as largest demand in parking studies. Peak time for live/work
spaces is daytime. Peak time for hotel is around 9 p.m. Parking is not public; it is for
commercial uses, for residents and for hotel guests on the site.
Mr. Walther spoke about hotel experience in the city. The city’s parking requirement for
hotels is recognized by staff as being high and is routinely reviewed for reductions. Hotel
market professionals say .8 or 1 space per room is the going demand for parking for most
of the hotel chains. The city’s requirement is 1.5 spaces which covered other mixed uses
on a site. He said PLACE’s hotel is a limited service hotel and restaurant parking is
calculated separately.
Mr. Walther said all units are rental apartments and there are no for sale units included.
Mr. Walther said if the turbine is located on the E-generation building it would be closer
to the range of 64-66 ft. tall which is not out of line with the height of the buildings which
are proposed for the project.
Ms. Monson said the 10 feet which was mentioned as setback is the amount of land that
PLACE is dedicating to the city for right-of-way, it’s not the setback from the curb line.
The setback on Wooddale is 15 feet and on 36th Street the setback is significantly more
than 26 feet.
Ms. Monson stated the way the PUD is written all live/work type 1 cannot have any
outside employees working there. The maximum number of employees for live/work
type 2 is two.
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 4f) Page 7
Title: Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of March 15, 2017
Commissioner Johnston-Madison asked about car sharing.
Ms. Monson said PLACE is looking at using HourCar. If for some reason there isn’t a
company offering those services the developer could purchase ten cars and those could
serve as car shares for the development. Ten parking spaces have been included in the
requirements.
Mr. Walther reviewed the Environmental Action Worksheet (EAW) process and timeline.
Commissioner Carper asked for heights of the area residential developments.
Ms. Monson said the proposed Elmwood development on the east side of 36th Street is 77
feet tall (6 stories). Hoigaard Village to the north is approximately 67 ft tall (5 stories).
Tower Light directly south is 5 stories tall. Buildings kitty corner to PLACE are
approximately 3 ½ stories tall.
Ms. Monson commented that the city did a streetscape plan in 2006 looking at
landscaping and setbacks on 36th St. as well as building setbacks and how the road would
function with the lane width. The dedication required on 36th St. is being required to meet
that plan.
Chair Peilen said the project is so bold and progressive but her biggest concern are
challenges if light rail doesn’t happen. The success of project seems completely linked to
light rail.
Mr. Velasco replied that PLACE has been working closely with SWLRT and they have
said they are moving forward and have given no indication PLACE has anything to worry
about in that regard. He added that if something should go wrong and there is no light
rail, a good transit oriented development can still be done. He said the nature of car
ownership and mobility is changing dramatically and PLACE will be able to take
advantage of new technologies coming.
Commissioner Johnston-Madison said she has always liked the project and thinks it’s a
great experiment. But all the numbers that make the project work on paper are right up to
the edge on everything. She said she likes the north side of the project. But there are too
many questions about hotel and wind turbine. She said she doesn’t think the project is
ready. She said we can’t afford as a city to approve a project when the viability relates to
unanswered questions. She said she can’t recommend approval for the plat and PUD.
Commissioner Carper said he was concerned prior to the meeting but his issues have
been satisfactorily cleared up. Regarding concern of concentration of affordable housing,
he said developers have been encouraged to provide affordable housing through TIF. He
commented that affordable housing is scarce in the city. He said he is uncomfortable with
a turbine so enormous in the area but there are other existing large structures within the
city. Regarding light rail, he said PLACE could be delayed three years at great expense
and three years of an innovative project will have been lost. He said all developments
come with a risk.
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 4f) Page 8
Title: Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of March 15, 2017
Commissioner Kanne said her biggest worry has always been about traffic. She lives in
the Elmwood neighborhood and has children who ride bikes in the area. She said she has
watched all the new development happen in Elmwood and said the intersection is a
nightmare. She added that she is proud to live in a city that would bring such a project to
the city and she is in total support of it.
Commissioner Tatalovich made a motion to recommend approval of The PLACE
Comprehensive Plan Amendment changing the land use designation from OFC –Office,
BP – Business Park, RRR – Railroad, and Right-of-way to MX – Mixed Use.
Commissioner Carper seconded the motion, and the motion passed on a vote of 5-0.
Chair Peilen made a motion to recommend approval of The PLACE Preliminary and
Final Plat subject to conditions. Commissioner Carper seconded the motion, and the
motion passed on a vote of 4-1 (Johnston-Madison opposed).

Mr. Walther discussed the process and schedule for EAW comments and consideration
by City Council.
4. Other Business: None
5. Communications
Commissioner Carper asked if the turbine issue might come up for a zoning ordinance
amendment.
Mr. Walther said the PLACE PUD ordinance would create the rules for that site to allow
that particular use. But it does open up a larger policy question for other sites in the
community. He suggested that might be discussed in the upcoming revision of the
Comprehensive Plan.
Mr. Walther spoke about upcoming events including Town Hall for Vision 3.0, Facebook
Live for Vision 3.0, and the State of the City.

proposed redevelopment at the southeast quadrant of Highway 7 and Wooddale Ave and the
northeast corner of W 36th Street and Wooddale Ave. has been extensively reviewed at multiple
study sessions, EDA and City Council meetings where it received consensus support. Constructing
the PLACE project is not financially feasible but for the use of the proposed tax increment
assistance. At its March 20th meeting, the City Council set a public hearing date of May 1st for
consideration of the proposed Wooddale Station Redevelopment TIF District. It is now time to
take the final step in the TIF process which is to formally authorize the creation of the
Redevelopment TIF district. Such authorization enables the EDA to designate tax increment
generated from the completed PLACE redevelopment as partial reimbursement for certain
qualified redevelopment costs incurred in connection with the construction of the project so as to
make it financially feasible.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: Creating the TIF district provides the funding
vehicle to reimburse PLACE for a portion of its qualified project costs. The actual terms and
amount of TIF assistance are specified within the Purchase and Redevelopment Contract with
PLACE E-Generation One, LLC which is also scheduled for consideration on May 1st.
VISION CONSIDERATION: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a well-maintained and
diverse housing stock.

DISCUSSION
BACKGROUND: PLACE (Projects Linking Art, Community & Environment), a Minneapolis
501(c)(3) nonprofit developer, is proposing to redevelop a 5.2 site (net of easements and rights-of-
way) located at the southeast quadrant of Highway 7 and Wooddale Ave and the northeast corner
of W 36th Street and Wooddale Ave. The site is divided by the CP RR line and the Cedar Lake
LRT Regional Trail and located in the Elmwood Neighborhood.
Location of PLACE redevelopment at Wooddale Station
CURRENT PROPOSAL: PLACE proposes to acquire the subject nine properties from the EDA
and City, raze two structurally substandard buildings, and construct a major mixed-use, mixed-
income, transit-oriented, environmentally sustainable development. Current plans depict four
buildings split on the north and south sides of the future SWLRT Wooddale Station. On April 17
the City Council approved an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan for the project along with
the first reading of a PUD ordinance. The proposed PLACE project consists of the following
components:
•2 apartment buildings with a total of 299 residential units between them
(of which 200 would be affordable and 99 would be market-rate)
including 99 mixed-income live/work units.
•110-room hotel
•10,200 SF e-generation/greenhouse facility
§Approximately 16,200 sq. ft. of ground floor commercial/retail space for a café, coffee
house, bike shop, and five microbusinesses
§4,000 SF small business co-working hub
§Woonerf (Placemaking Plaza)
•447 parking spaces (structured, surface, and street)
•510,778 SF. of total program space
•1 AC “urban forest” with children’s play area and public art

The entire project is being designed to achieve LEED Silver or Gold certification.
Developer’s Request for Public Financing Assistance
The Total Development Cost (TDC) to construct the proposed PLACE redevelopment is
approximately $123 million. There are significant extraordinary costs associated with
redeveloping the subject site. These include: environmental investigation and reporting, asbestos
abatement, building demolition, contaminated soil removal and disposal, site preparation,
underground stormwater retention, circulation enhancements and structured parking. Altogether,
these costs exceed $9.5 million and prevent the PLACE project from achieving financial
feasibility. Consequently PLACE applied to the EDA for Tax Increment Financing (TIF)
assistance to offset a portion of these costs. Tax increment financing uses the increased future
property taxes generated by a new development to finance certain qualified development costs
incurred by that project for a limited period of time.
Level and Type of Financial Assistance
PLACE’s sources and uses statements, cash flow projections, and investor rate of return (ROR)
related to each component of the PLACE project were reviewed by staff and Ehlers (the EDA’s
financial consultant). Based upon its analysis of the PLACE project proformas, Ehlers determined
that the PLACE project is not financially feasible but/for the provision of $5.66 million in tax
increment financing. The assistance would be provided in the form of a TIF Note and would be
made available to exclusively reimburse PLACE for a portion of the extraordinary site preparation
costs cited above. Upon project completion, tax increment generated from the increased value of
the subject property would be provided to PLACE on a "pay-as-you-go" basis, which is the
preferred financing method under the City's TIF Policy. Upon completion, the proposed project
would generate the requested assistance in approximately 15 years.
TIF Application Review
The EDA/City Council reviewed PLACE’s TIF Application for the proposed PLACE project at
the February 13th and April 3rd Study Sessions. Following discussion there was consensus support
for favorably considering the Developer’s request for tax increment assistance. As a result, staff
was directed to call for a public hearing on the proposed Redevelopment TIF District and to begin
drafting a formal purchase and redevelopment contract with PLACE.
TIF District Approvals
At its March 20th meeting, the City Council set a public hearing date of May 1, 2017 for
consideration of the proposed Redevelopment TIF District. The EDA will consider the approval
of the purchase and redevelopment contract that same evening.
The Planning Commission reviewed the Wooddale Station Tax Increment Financing Plan on April
19th, as required by the MN TIF Act, and determined it was in conformance with the City’s
Comprehensive Plan.
Synopsis of the Proposed Wooddale Station TIF District
The subject site is located within the boundaries of the City’s Redevelopment Project Area which
is the portion of the city where TIF districts may statutorily be established. Inclusion of the
proposed project within a designated Redevelopment Project Area allows the EDA/City Council
to establish a TIF district so as to enable the EDA to provide the proposed financial assistance to
the PLACE project. The proposed Wooddale Station TIF District consists of the following nine
parcels as shown in the attached TIF District Overview and Wooddale Station TIF Plan.
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 6a) Page 4
Title: Establishment of the Wooddale Station Tax Increment Financing District
• 5925 State Hwy No 7
• 5815 State Hwy No 7
• 5725 State Hwy No 7
• 3520 Yosemite Ave S
• 3565 Wooddale Ave
• 3548 Xenwood Ave S
• 3575 Wooddale Ave
• 5816 36th St W
• 5814 36th St W
Together, these parcels equal approximately 7 acres including adjacent rights of way. The
proposed TIF district is further detailed in the attached TIF Plan.
The 5925 Highway 7 property currently lies within the Elmwood TIF District. Therefore, the EDA
will be asked to decertify the property from the Elmwood TIF District in order to include it in the
proposed Wooddale Station TIF District.
Attached is an Overview which summarizes the basic elements of the proposed Wooddale Station
TIF District. Details of the proposed TIF District may be found in the attached Wooddale Station
TIF District Plan. Both the Overview and TIF Plan were prepared by the EDA’s TIF consultant,
Ehlers. In a general sense, TIF Plans may be viewed as enabling legislation. They establish the
proposed TIF district’s classification, geographic boundaries, maximum duration, maximum
budget authority for tax increment revenues and expenditures, fiscal disparities election as well as
estimated impact on various taxing jurisdictions along with findings which statutorily qualify the
district. The specific mutual obligations between the EDA and the Redeveloper as well as the
precise terms of the financial assistance are contained in the separate Purchase and Redevelopment
Contract between the parties. Both the TIF Plan and the Redevelopment Contract need to be
approved in order for redevelopment projects involving tax increment to proceed.
Qualifications of the Proposed TIF District
Consulting firm LHB was retained to conduct a TIF district feasibility analysis to determine if the
subject site qualified as a Redevelopment District under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174,
Subdivision 10, After inspecting and evaluating the subject properties and applying current
statutory criteria, LHB made the following findings in its report entitled: Report of Inspection
Procedures and Results for Determining Qualifications of a Tax Increment Financing District as
a Redevelopment District: [Highway 7 & Wooddale] Redevelopment TIF District, St. Louis Park,
MN dated November 22, 2016):
• The proposed TIF District has a coverage calculation of 88.7 percent which exceeds the 70
percent requirement.
• 100 percent of the buildings are structurally substandard which exceeds the 50 percent
requirement.
• The substandard buildings are reasonably distributed throughout the geographic area of the
proposed TIF District.
Thus the proposed Wooddale Station TIF District met both the “Coverage Test” and the
“Condition of Buildings Test” and thereby qualifies under Minnesota Statutes Section 479.174,
Subdivision 10 as a redevelopment TIF district. Other findings for the qualification of the proposed
TIF District are contained in Appendix G of the attached TIF Plan.
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 6a) Page 5
Title: Establishment of the Wooddale Station Tax Increment Financing District
Duration of the Proposed TIF District
Under the TIF Act, the duration of redevelopment districts is up to 25 years after receipt of the
first increment by the City (a total of 26 years of tax increment). The date of receipt by the City
of the first tax increment is expected to be 2020. Thus, the full term of the district is estimated to
terminate in 2045. The EDA and City have the right to decertify the District prior to the legally
required date. The City’s expressed obligations to the Redeveloper are estimated to be satisfied in
approximately 15 years. Once those obligations are satisfied, the City may terminate the District.
TIF District Budget
The TIF Plan authorizes the use of tax increment generated by the District to pay for certain
qualifying project expenses and capital improvements associated with the District should they be
necessary. It should be noted that the financing uses and project costs reflected within Subsection
2-10 (Uses of Funds) of the attached TIF Plan is a not-to-exceed budget and not the actual expected
project budget.
Fiscal Disparities Election within the Proposed TIF District
The proposed redevelopment will contain commercial property therefore the proposed TIF District
is subject to the fiscal disparities calculation. Consistent with the city’s TIF Policy and past
practice, the Wooddale Station TIF District will contribute to fiscal disparities (as opposed to the
tax base of the City making the contribution).
Recommendation
The EDA’s financial consultant, Ehlers, prepared the proposed Wooddale Station TIF Plan in
consultation with the EDA’s legal counsel, Kennedy & Graven and staff; all of whom recommend
approval of the resolution establishing the Wooddale Station Tax Increment Financing District.
NEXT STEPS: The Purchase and Redevelopment Contract with PLACE which specifies the
terms and amount of TIF assistance related to the PLACE project is also scheduled for
consideration by the EDA on May 1st.

RESOLUTION NO. 17-____
RESOLUTION ADOPTING A MODIFICATION TO THE
REDEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT NO. 1;
ESTABLISHING THE WOODDALE STATION TAX INCREMENT
FINANCING DISTRICT THEREIN AND ADOPTING A TAX
INCREMENT FINANCING PLAN THEREFOR.
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council (the "Council") of the City of St. Louis Park,
Minnesota (the "City"), as follows:
Section 1. Recitals
1.01. The Board of Commissioners of the St. Louis Park Economic Development
Authority (the "EDA") has heretofore established Redevelopment Project No. 1 and adopted the
Redevelopment Plan therefor. It has been proposed by the EDA and the City that the City adopt a
Modification to the Redevelopment Plan for Redevelopment Project No. 1 (the "Redevelopment
Plan Modification") and establish the Wooddale Station Tax Increment Financing District (the
"District") therein and adopt a Tax Increment Financing Plan (the "TIF Plan") therefor (the
Redevelopment Plan Modification and the TIF Plan are referred to collectively herein as the
"Plans"), all pursuant to and in conformity with applicable law, including Minnesota Statutes,
Sections 469.090 to 469.1082 and Sections 469.174 to 469.1794, all inclusive, as amended (the
"Act"), all as reflected in the Plans, and presented for the Council's consideration.
1.02. The EDA and City have investigated the facts relating to the Plans and have caused
the Plans to be prepared.
1.03. The EDA and City have performed all actions required by law to be performed prior
to the establishment of the District and the adoption and approval of the proposed Plans, including,
but not limited to, notification of Hennepin County and Independent School District No. 283
having taxing jurisdiction over the property to be included in the District, a review of and written
comment on the Plans by the City Planning Commission on April 19, 2017, approval of the Plans
by the EDA on May 1, 2017, and the holding of a public hearing by the Council upon published
notice as required by law.
1.04. Certain written reports (the ''Reports") relating to the Plans and to the activities
contemplated therein have heretofore been prepared by staff and consultants and submitted to the
Council and/or made a part of the City files and proceedings on the Plans. The Reports, including
the redevelopment qualifications reports and planning documents, include data, information and/or
substantiation constituting or relating to the basis for the other findings and determinations made
in this resolution. The Council hereby confirms, ratifies and adopts the Reports, which are hereby
incorporated into and made as fully a part of this resolution to the same extent as if set forth in full
herein.
1.05 The City is not modifying the boundaries of Redevelopment Project No. 1.
Section 2. Findings for the Adoption and Approval of the Redevelopment Plan Modification
2.01. The Council approves the Redevelopment Plan Modification, and specifically finds
that: (a) the land within the Project area would not be available for redevelopment without the
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 6a) Page 7
Title: Establishment of the Wooddale Station Tax Increment Financing District
financial aid to be sought under the Redevelopment Plan; (b) the Redevelopment Plan, as modified,
will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the needs of the City as a whole, for the
development of the Project by private enterprise; and (c) the Redevelopment Plan, as modified,
conforms to the general plan for the development of the City as a whole.
Section 3. Findings for the Establishment of the Wooddale Station Tax Increment Financing
District
3.01. The Council hereby finds that the District is in the public interest and is a
"redevelopment district" under Section 469.174, Subd. 10 of the Act.
3.02. The Council further finds that the proposed redevelopment would not occur solely
through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future and that the increased market
value of the site that could reasonably be expected to occur without the use of tax increment
financing would be less than the increase in the market value estimated to result from the proposed
development after subtracting the present value of the projected tax increments for the maximum
duration of the District permitted by the TIF Plan, that the TIF Plan conforms to the general plan
for the development or redevelopment of the City as a whole; and that the TIF Plan will afford
maximum opportunity consistent with the sound needs of the City as a whole, for the development
or redevelopment of the District by private enterprise.
3.03. The Council further finds, declares and determines that the City made the above
findings stated in this Section and has set forth the reasons and supporting facts for each
determination in writing, attached hereto as Exhibit A.
3.04. The EDA elects to calculate fiscal disparities for the District in accordance with
Section 469.177, Subd. 3, clause b of the Act, which means the fiscal disparities contribution will
be taken from inside the District.
Section 4. Public Purpose
4.01. The adoption of the Plans conforms in all respects to the requirements of the Act
and will help fulfill a need to develop an area of the City which is already built up, to provide
diversified housing opportunities, to improve the tax base and to improve the general economy of
the State and thereby serves a public purpose. For the reasons described in Exhibit A, the City
believes these benefits directly derive from the tax increment assistance provided under the TIF
Plan. A private developer will receive only the assistance needed to make this development
financially feasible. As such, any private benefits received by a developer are incidental and do
not outweigh the primary public benefits.
Section 5. Approval and Adoption of the Plans
5.01. The Plans, as presented to the Council on this date, including without limitation the
findings and statements of objectives contained therein, are hereby approved, ratified, established,
and adopted and shall be placed on file in the office of the Economic Development Coordinator.
5.02. The staff of the City, the City's advisors and legal counsel are authorized and
directed to proceed with the implementation of the Plans and to negotiate, draft, prepare and
present to this Council for its consideration all further plans, resolutions, documents and contracts
necessary for this purpose.
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 6a) Page 8
Title: Establishment of the Wooddale Station Tax Increment Financing District
5.03 The Taxpayer Services Division Manager of Hennepin County ("Manager") is
requested to certify the original net tax capacity of the District, as described in the Plans, and to
certify in each year thereafter the amount by which the original net tax capacity has increased or
decreased; and the EDA is authorized and directed to forthwith transmit this request to the Manager
in such form and content as the Manager may specify, together with a list of all properties within
the District, for which building permits have been issued during the 18 months immediately
preceding the adoption of this resolution.
5.04. The Economic Development Coordinator is further authorized and directed to file
a copy of the Plans with the Commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Revenue and the
Office of the State Auditor pursuant to Section 469.175, Subd. 4a of the Act.

EXHIBIT A
RESOLUTION NO. ___________
The reasons and facts supporting the findings for the adoption of the Tax Increment Financing
Plan (TIF Plan) for the Wooddale Station Tax Increment Financing District (District), as required
pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.175, Subdivision 3 are as follows:
1.Finding that the Wooddale Station Tax Increment Financing District is a redevelopment
district as defined in M.S., Section 469.174, Subd. 10.
The District consists of 9 parcels and adjacent ROW, with plans to redevelop the area for
housing and commercial purposes. At least 70 percent of the area of the parcels in the
District are occupied by buildings, streets, utilities, paved or gravel parking lots or other
similar structures and more than 50 percent of the buildings in the District, not including
outbuildings, are structurally substandard to a degree requiring substantial renovation or
clearance. (See Appendix F of the TIF Plan.)
2.Finding that the proposed development, in the opinion of the City Council, would not
reasonably be expected to occur solely through private investment within the reasonably
foreseeable future and that the increased market value of the site that could reasonably be
expected to occur without the use of tax increment financing would be less than the increase
in the market value estimated to result from the proposed development after subtracting
the present value of the projected tax increments for the maximum duration of the District
permitted by the TIF Plan.
The proposed development, in the opinion of the City, would not reasonably be expected
to occur solely through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future: This
finding is supported by the fact that the redevelopment proposed in the TIF Plan meets the
City's objectives for redevelopment, but that due to the high costs of redevelopment on the
parcels currently occupied by substandard buildings, including costs associated with
demolition, soil remediation, site improvements, and utilities; costs to finance the proposed
improvements; and costs to include affordable housing, this project is feasible only through
assistance, in part, from tax increment financing. The developer was asked for and provided
a letter and a proforma as justification that the developer would not have gone forward
without tax increment assistance.
The increased market value of the site that could reasonably be expected to occur without
the use of tax increment financing would be less than the increase in market value estimated
to result from the proposed development after subtracting the present value of the projected
tax increments for the maximum duration of the District permitted by the TIF Plan: This
finding is justified on the grounds that the costs of demolition, soil remediation, site
improvements, utility improvements and construction of affordable housing add to the total
redevelopment cost. Historically, the costs of site and public improvements and of the
construction of affordable housing in the City have made redevelopment infeasible without
tax increment assistance. Although other projects could potentially be proposed, the City
reasonably determines that no other redevelopment of similar scope can be anticipated on
this site without substantially similar assistance being provided to the development.
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 6a) Page 10
Title: Establishment of the Wooddale Station Tax Increment Financing District
Therefore, the City concludes as follows:
a.The City's estimate of the amount by which the market value of the entire District
will increase without the use of tax increment financing is $0.
b.If the proposed development occurs, the total increase in market value will be
$54,725,150.
c.The present value of tax increments from the District for the maximum duration of
the district permitted by the TIF Plan is estimated to be $13,561,004.
d.Even if some development other than the proposed development were to occur, the
Council finds that no alternative would occur that would produce a market value
increase greater than $41,164,146 (the amount in clause b less the amount in clause
c) without tax increment assistance.
3.Finding that the TIF Plan for the District conforms to the general plan for the development
or redevelopment of the municipality as a whole.
The Planning Commission reviewed the TIF Plan and found that the TIF Plan conforms to
the general development plan of the City.
4.Finding that the TIF Plan for the District will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with
the sound needs of the City as a whole, for the development or redevelopment of
Redevelopment Project No. 1 by private enterprise.
The project to be assisted by the District will result in diversified housing opportunities
and increased employment in the City and the State of Minnesota, the renovation of
substandard properties, increased tax base of the State and add a high quality development
to the City.
Specifically, through the implementation of the TIF Plan, the EDA or City will increase
the availability of safe and decent life-cycle housing in the City.

Section 2 - Tax Increment Financing Plan
for the Wooddale Station Tax Increment Financing District
Subsection 2-1. Foreword
The St. Louis Park Economic Development Authority (the "EDA"), the City of St. Louis Park (the "City"),
staff and consultants have prepared the following information to expedite the establishment of the Wooddale
Station Tax Increment Financing District (the "District"), a redevelopment tax increment financing district,
located in Redevelopment Project No. 1.
Subsection 2-2. Statutory Authority
Within the City, there exist areas where public involvement is necessary to cause development or
redevelopment to occur. To this end, the EDA and City have certain statutory powers pursuant to Minnesota
Statutes ("M.S."), Sections 469.090 to 469.1082, inclusive, as amended, and M.S., Sections 469.174 to
469.1794, inclusive, as amended (the "Tax Increment Financing Act" or "TIF Act"), to assist in financing
public costs related to this project.
This section contains the Tax Increment Financing Plan (the "TIF Plan") for the District. Other relevant
information is contained in the Modification to the Redevelopment Plan for Redevelopment Project No. 1.
Subsection 2-3. Statement of Objectives
The District currently consists of nine parcels of land and adjacent and internal rights-of-way. The District
is being created to facilitate the development of approximately 200 affordable apartment units, 99 market rate
apartment units, a 110 room hotel, approximately 16,200 square feet of commercial property, and
approximately 10,200 square feet of a greenhouse/e-generation facility in the City. Please see Appendix A
for further District information. The EDA has not entered into an agreement but anticipates entering into an
agreement with PLACE E-Generation One LLC, a limited liability company. Development is likely to occur
in late 2017 or early 2018. This TIF Plan is expected to achieve many of the objectives outlined in the
Redevelopment Plan for Redevelopment Project No. 1.
The activities contemplated in the Modification to the Redevelopment Plan and the TIF Plan do not preclude
the undertaking of other qualified development or redevelopment activities. These activities are anticipated
to occur over the life of Redevelopment Project No. 1 and the District.
Subsection 2-4. Redevelopment Plan Overview
1. Property to be Acquired - The EDA or City currently owns nine parcels of property within
the District. The remaining property located within the District may be acquired by the EDA
or City and is further described in this TIF Plan.
2. Relocation - Relocation services, to the extent required by law, are available pursuant to
M.S., Chapter 117 and other relevant state and federal laws.
3. Upon approval of a developer's plan relating to the project and completion of the necessary
legal requirements, the EDA or City may sell to a developer selected properties that it may
acquire within the District or may lease land or facilities to a developer.
4. The EDA or City may perform or provide for some or all necessary acquisition, construction,

relocation, demolition, and required utilities and public street work within the District.
Subsection 2-5. Description of Property in the District and Property To Be Acquired
The District encompasses all property and adjacent rights-of-way and abutting roadways identified by the
parcels listed in Appendix C of this TIF Plan. Please also see the map in Appendix B for further information
on the location of the District.
The EDA or City may acquire any parcel within the District including interior and adjacent street rights of
way. Any properties identified for acquisition will be acquired by the EDA or City only in order to
accomplish one or more of the following: storm sewer improvements; provide land for needed public streets,
utilities and facilities; carry out land acquisition, site improvements, clearance and/or development to
accomplish the uses and objectives set forth in this plan. The EDA or City may acquire property by gift,
dedication, condemnation or direct purchase from willing sellers in order to achieve the objectives of this TIF
Plan. Such acquisitions will be undertaken only when there is assurance of funding to finance the acquisition
and related costs.
Subsection 2-6. Classification of the District
The EDA and City, in determining the need to create a tax increment financing district in accordance with
M.S., Sections 469.174 to 469.1794, as amended, inclusive, find that the District, to be established, is a
redevelopment district pursuant to M.S., Section 469.174, Subd. 10(a)(1) as defined below:
(a) "Redevelopment district" means a type of tax increment financing district consisting of a project,
or portions of a project, within which the authority finds by resolution that one or more of the
following conditions, reasonably distributed throughout the district, exists:
(1) parcels consisting of 70 percent of the area in the district are occupied by buildings, streets,
utilities, paved or gravel parking lots or other similar structures and more than 50 percent
of the buildings, not including outbuildings, are structurally substandard to a degree
requiring substantial renovation or clearance;
(2) The property consists of vacant, unused, underused, inappropriately used, or infrequently
used rail yards, rail storage facilities or excessive or vacated railroad rights-of-way;
(3) tank facilities, or property whose immediately previous use was for tank facilities, as defined
in Section 115C, Subd. 15, if the tank facility:
(i) have or had a capacity of more than one million gallons;
(ii) are located adjacent to rail facilities; or
(iii)have been removed, or are unused, underused, inappropriately used or infrequently
used; or
(4) a qualifying disaster area, as defined in Subd. 10b.
(b) For purposes of this subdivision, "structurally substandard" shall mean containing defects in
structural elements or a combination of deficiencies in essential utilities and facilities, light and
ventilation, fire protection including adequate egress, layout and condition of interior partitions,
or similar factors, which defects or deficiencies are of sufficient total significance to justify
substantial renovation or clearance.

City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 6a)
Title: Establishment of the Wooddale Station Tax Increment Financing District Page 20
(c) A building is not structurally substandard if it is in compliance with the building code applicable
to new buildings or could be modified to satisfy the building code at a cost of less than 15
percent of the cost of constructing a new structure of the same square footage and type on the
site. The municipality may find that a building is not disqualified as structurally substandard
under the preceding sentence on the basis of reasonably available evidence, such as the size,
type, and age of the building, the average cost of plumbing, electrical, or structural repairs or
other similar reliable evidence. The municipality may not make such a determination without
an interior inspection of the property, but need not have an independent, expert appraisal
prepared of the cost of repair and rehabilitation of the building. An interior inspection of the
property is not required, if the municipality finds that (1) the municipality or authority is unable
to gain access to the property after using its best efforts to obtain permission from the party that
owns or controls the property; and (2) the evidence otherwise supports a reasonable conclusion
that the building is structurally substandard.
(d) A parcel is deemed to be occupied by a structurally substandard building for purposes of the
finding under paragraph (a) or by the improvement described in paragraph (e) if all of the
following conditions are met:
(1) the parcel was occupied by a substandard building or met the requirements of paragraph
(e), as the case may be, within three years of the filing of the request for certification of the
parcel as part of the district with the county auditor;
(2) the substandard building or the improvements described in paragraph (e) were demolished
or removed by the authority or the demolition or removal was financed by the authority or
was done by a developer under a development agreement with the authority;
(3) the authority found by resolution before the demolition or removal that the parcel was
occupied by a structurally substandard building or met the requirement of paragraph (e) and
that after demolition and clearance the authority intended to include the parcel within a
district; and
(4) upon filing the request for certification of the tax capacity of the parcel as part of a district,
the authority notifies the county auditor that the original tax capacity of the parcel must be
adjusted as provided by § 469.177, subdivision 1, paragraph (f).
(e) For purposes of this subdivision, a parcel is not occupied by buildings, streets, utilities, paved
or gravel parking lots or other similar structures unless 15 percent of the area of the parcel
contains buildings, streets, utilities, paved or gravel parking lots or other similar structures.
(f) For districts consisting of two or more noncontiguous areas, each area must qualify as a
redevelopment district under paragraph (a) to be included in the district, and the entire area of
the district must satisfy paragraph (a).
In meeting the statutory criteria the EDA and City rely on the following facts and findings:
• The District is a redevelopment district consisting nine parcels.
• An inventory shows that parcels consisting of more than 70 percent of the area in the District are
occupied by buildings, streets, utilities, paved or gravel parking lots or other similar structures.
• An inspection of the buildings located within the District finds that more than 50 percent of the buildings
are structurally substandard as defined in the TIF Act. (See Appendix F).

Tax Increment Financing Plan for the Wooddale Station Tax Increment Financing District 2-3
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 6a)
Title: Establishment of the Wooddale Station Tax Increment Financing District Page 21
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.176, Subd. 7, the District does not contain any parcel or part of a parcel that
qualified under the provisions of M.S., Sections 273.111, 273.112, or 273.114 or Chapter 473H for taxes
payable in any of the five calendar years before the filing of the request for certification of the District.
Subsection 2-7. Duration and First Year of Tax Increment of the District
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.175, Subd. 1, and Section 469.176, Subd. 1, the duration and first year of tax
increment of the District must be indicated within the TIF Plan. Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.176, Subd. 1b.,
the duration of the District will be 25 years after receipt of the first increment by the EDA or City (a total of
26 years of tax increment). The EDA or City elects to receive the first tax increment in 2020, which is no
later than four years following the year of approval of the District. Thus, it is estimated that the District,
including any modifications of the TIF Plan for subsequent phases or other changes, would terminate after
2045, or when the TIF Plan is satisfied. The EDA or City reserves the right to decertify the District prior to
the legally required date, including without limitation pursuant to M.S. 469.176, Subd. 1(b).
Subsection 2-8. Original Tax Capacity, Tax Rate and Estimated Captured Net Tax Capacity
Value/Increment and Notification of Prior Planned Improvements
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.174, Subd. 7 and M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 1, the Original Net Tax Capacity
(ONTC) as certified for the District will be based on the market values placed on the property by the assessor
in 2016 for taxes payable 2017.
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.177, Subds. 1 and 2, the County Auditor shall certify in each year (beginning
in the payment year 2019) the amount by which the original value has increased or decreased as a result of:
1. Change in tax exempt status of property;
2. Reduction or enlargement of the geographic boundaries of the district;
3. Change due to adjustments, negotiated or court-ordered abatements;
4. Change in the use of the property and classification;
5. Change in state law governing class rates; or
6. Change in previously issued building permits.
In any year in which the current Net Tax Capacity (NTC) value of the District declines below the ONTC, no
value will be captured and no tax increment will be payable to the EDA or City.
The original local tax rate for the District will be the local tax rate for taxes payable 2017, assuming the
request for certification is made before June 30, 2017. The ONTC and the Original Local Tax Rate for the
District appear in the table below.
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.174 Subd. 4 and M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 1, 2, and 4, the estimated
Captured Net Tax Capacity (CTC) of the District, within Redevelopment Project No. 1, upon completion of
the projects within the District, will annually approximate tax increment revenues as shown in the table
below. The EDA and City request 100 percent of the available increase in tax capacity for repayment of its
obligations and current expenditures, beginning in the tax year payable 2020. The Project Tax Capacity
(PTC) listed is an estimate of values when the projects within the District are completed.

Tax capacity includes a 3% inflation factor for the duration of the District. The tax capacity included in thischart is the estimated tax capacity of the District in year 25. The tax capacity of the District in year one isestimated to be $327,802.
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 4, the EDA shall, after a due and diligent search, accompany its
request for certification to the County Auditor or its notice of the District enlargement pursuant to M.S.,
Section 469.175, Subd. 4, with a listing of all properties within the District or area of enlargement for which
building permits have been issued during the eighteen (18) months immediately preceding approval of the
TIF Plan by the municipality pursuant to M.S., Section 469.175, Subd. 3. The County Auditor shall increase
the original net tax capacity of the District by the net tax capacity of improvements for which a building
permit was issued.
The City has reviewed the area to be included in the District and found some building permits that
have been issued in the past 18 months, but none that should increase the original tax capacity. The list
of building permits issued within the District in the past 18 months is available in the office of the City
Economic Development Coordinator.
Subsection 2-9. Sources of Revenue/Bonds to be Issued
The costs outlined in the Uses of Funds will be financed primarily through the annual collection of tax
increments. The EDA or City reserves the right to incur bonds or other indebtedness as a result of the TIF
Plan. As presently proposed, the projects within the District will be financed by a bond issue, pay-as-you-go
note, and interfund loan. Any refunding amounts will be deemed a budgeted cost without a formal TIF Plan
Modification. This provision does not obligate the EDA or City to incur debt. The EDA or City will issue
bonds or incur other debt only upon the determination that such action is in the best interest of the City.
The total estimated tax increment revenues for the District are shown in the table below:
SOURCES OF FUNDS TOTAL
Tax Increment $24,189,701
Interest $2,418,970
TOTAL $26,608,671
The EDA or City may issue bonds (as defined in the TIF Act) secured in whole or in part with tax increments
from the District in a maximum principal amount of $16,998,906. Such bonds may be in the form of pay-as-

you-go notes, revenue bonds or notes, general obligation bonds, or interfund loans. This estimate of total
bonded indebtedness is a cumulative statement of authority under this TIF Plan as of the date of approval.
Subsection 2-10. Uses of Funds
Currently under consideration for the District is a proposal to facilitate the development of approximately 200
affordable apartment units, 99 market rate apartment units, a 110 room hotel, approximately 16,200 square
feet of commercial property, and approximately 10,200 square feet of a greenhouse/e-generation facility in
the City. The EDA and City have determined that it will be necessary to provide assistance to the project(s)
for certain District costs, as described. The EDA has studied the feasibility of the development or
redevelopment of property in and around the District. To facilitate the establishment and development or
redevelopment of the District, this TIF Plan authorizes the use of tax increment financing to pay for the cost
of certain eligible expenses. The estimate of public costs and uses of funds associated with the District is
outlined in the following table.
USES OF TAX INCREMENT FUNDS TOTAL
Land/Building Acquisition $6,547,600
Site Improvements/Preparation $2,830,000
Utilities $1,700,000
Other Qualifying Improvements $3,502,336
Administrative Costs (up to 10%)$2,418,970
PROJECT COST TOTAL $16,998,906
Interest $9,609,765
PROJECT AND INTEREST COSTS TOTAL $26,608,671
The total project cost, including financing costs (interest) listed in the table above does not exceed the total
projected tax increments for the District as shown in Subsection 2-9.
Estimated costs associated with the District are subject to change among categories without a modification
to this TIF Plan. The cost of all activities to be considered for tax increment financing will not exceed,
without formal modification, the budget above pursuant to the applicable statutory requirements. Pursuant
to M.S., Section 469.1763, Subd. 2, no more than 25 percent of the tax increment paid by property within the
District will be spent on activities related to development or redevelopment outside of the District but within
the boundaries of Redevelopment Project No. 1, (including administrative costs, which are considered to be
spent outside of the District) subject to the limitations as described in this TIF Plan.
Subsection 2-11. Fiscal Disparities Election
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 3, the EDA or City may elect one of two methods to calculate fiscal
disparities. If the calculations pursuant to M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 3, clause b, (within the District) are
followed, the following method of computation shall apply:
(1) The original net tax capacity shall be determined before the application of the fiscal disparity
provisions of Chapter 276A or 473F. The current net tax capacity shall exclude any fiscal

Tax Increment Financing Plan for the Wooddale Station Tax Increment Financing District 2-6
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 6a)
Title: Establishment of the Wooddale Station Tax Increment Financing District Page 24
disparity commercial-industrial net tax capacity increase between the original year and the
current year multiplied by the fiscal disparity ratio determined pursuant to M.S., Section
276A.06, subdivision 7 or M.S., Section 473F.08, subdivision 6. Where the original net tax
capacity is equal to or greater than the current net tax capacity, there is no captured tax capacity
and no tax increment determination. Where the original tax capacity is less than the current tax
capacity, the difference between the original net tax capacity and the current net tax capacity
is the captured net tax capacity. This amount less any portion thereof which the authority has
designated, in its tax increment financing plan, to share with the local taxing districts is the
retained captured net tax capacity of the authority.
(2) The county auditor shall exclude the retained captured net tax capacity of the authority from the
net tax capacity of the local taxing districts in determining local taxing district tax rates. The
local tax rates so determined are to be extended against the retained captured net tax capacity
of the authority as well as the net tax capacity of the local taxing districts. The tax generated by
the extension of the less of (A) the local taxing district tax rates or (B) the original local tax rate
to the retained captured net tax capacity of the authority is the tax increment of the authority.
The EDA will choose to calculate fiscal disparities by clause b.
According to M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 3:
(c) The method of computation of tax increment applied to a district pursuant to paragraph (a) or
(b) shall remain the same for the duration of the district, except that the governing body may
elect to change its election from the method of computation in paragraph (a) to the method in
paragraph (b).
Subsection 2-12. Business Subsidies
The EDA and City will comply with M.S., Sections 116J.993 to 116J.995, as amended (the “Business
Subsidy Act”) to the extent required. Pursuant to Section 116J.993, Subd. 3 of the Business Subsidy Act,
the following forms of financial assistance are not considered a business subsidy:
(1) A business subsidy of less than $150,000;
(2) Assistance that is generally available to all businesses or to a general class of similar
businesses, such as a line of business, size, location, or similar general criteria;
(3) Public improvements to buildings or lands owned by the state or local government that serve a
public purpose and do not principally benefit a single business or defined group of businesses at
the time the improvements are made;
(4) Redevelopment property polluted by contaminants as defined in M.S., Section 116J.552, Subd.
3;
(5) Assistance provided for the sole purpose of renovating old or decaying building stock or
bringing it up to code and assistance provided for designated historic preservation districts,
provided that the assistance is equal to or less than 50% of the total cost;
(6) Assistance to provide job readiness and training services if the sole purpose of the assistance is
to provide those services;
(7)Assistance for housing;
(8) Assistance for pollution control or abatement, including assistance for a tax increment financing
hazardous substance subdistrict as defined under M.S., Section 469.174, Subd. 23;
(9) Assistance for energy conservation;
(10) Tax reductions resulting from conformity with federal tax law;

(11) Workers' compensation and unemployment compensation;
(12) Benefits derived from regulation;
(13) Indirect benefits derived from assistance to educational institutions;
(14) Funds from bonds allocated under chapter 474A, bonds issued to refund outstanding bonds, and
bonds issued for the benefit of an organization described in section 501 (c) (3) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended through December 31, 1999;
(15) Assistance for a collaboration between a Minnesota higher education institution and a business;
(16) Assistance for a tax increment financing soils condition district as defined under M.S., Section
469.174, Subd. 19;
(17) Redevelopment when the recipient's investment in the purchase of the site and in site
preparation is 70 percent or more of the assessor's current year's estimated market value;
(18) General changes in tax increment financing law and other general tax law changes of a
principally technical nature;
(19) Federal assistance until the assistance has been repaid to, and reinvested by, the state or local
government agency;
(20) Funds from dock and wharf bonds issued by a seaway port authority;
(21) Business loans and loan guarantees of $150,000 or less;
(22) Federal loan funds provided through the United States Department of Commerce, Economic
Development Administration; and
(23) Property tax abatements granted under M.S., Section 469.1813 to property that is subject to
valuation under Minnesota Rules, chapter 8100.
The EDA expects that this development will qualify for an exemption under Section 116J.993, Subd.
3(17) of the Business Subsidy Act.
Subsection 2-13. County Road Costs
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.175, Subd. 1a, the county board may require the EDA or City to pay for all
or part of the cost of county road improvements if the proposed development to be assisted by tax
increment will, in the judgment of the county, substantially increase the use of county roads requiring
construction of road improvements or other road costs and if the road improvements are not scheduled
within the next five years under a capital improvement plan or within five years under another county
plan.
If the county elects to use increments to improve county roads, it must notify the EDA or City within
forty-five days of receipt of this TIF Plan. In the opinion of the EDA and City and consultants, the
proposed development outlined in this TIF Plan will have little or no impact upon county roads, therefore
the TIF Plan was not forwarded to the county 45 days prior to the public hearing. The EDA and City are
aware that the county could claim that tax increment should be used for county roads, even after the
public hearing.
Subsection 2-14. Estimated Impact on Other Taxing Jurisdictions
The estimated impact on other taxing jurisdictions assumes that the redevelopment contemplated by the
TIF Plan would occur without the creation of the District. However, the EDA or City has determined that
such development or redevelopment would not occur "but for" tax increment financing and that,
therefore, the fiscal impact on other taxing jurisdictions is $0. The estimated fiscal impact of the District
would be as follows if the "but for" test was not met:

The estimates listed above display the captured tax capacity when all construction is completed. The tax rate
used for calculations is the actual Pay 2017 rate. The total net capacity for the entities listed above are based
on actual Pay 2017 figures. The District will be certified under the actual Pay 2017 rates, assuming
certification of the District is made before June 30, 2017.
Pursuant to M.S. Section 469.175 Subd. 2(b):
(1) Estimate of total tax increment. It is estimated that the total amount of tax increment that will be
generated over the life of the District is $24,189,701;
(2) Probable impact of the District on city provided services and ability to issue debt. A minor impact
of the District on police protection is expected. The City does track all calls for service including
property-type calls and crimes. With any addition of new residents or businesses, police calls for
service will be increased. The City estimates an increase of 50 to 100 calls per year based on
development population estimates. New developments add an increase in traffic, and additional
overall demands to the call load. The City does not expect that the proposed development, in and of
itself, will necessitate new capital investment. The development will be incorporated into police
district operations.
The probable impact of the District on fire protection is not expected to be significant. Typically new
buildings generate few calls, if any, and are of superior construction. The existing buildings, which
will be eliminated by the new development, have public safety concerns that will be ameliorated by
the new development.
The impact of the District on public infrastructure is expected to be minimal. The development is not
expected to significantly impact any traffic movements in the area. The current infrastructure for

Title: Establishment of the Wooddale Station Tax Increment Financing District Page 27
sanitary sewer, storm sewer and water will be able to handle the additional volume generated from
the proposed development. Based on the development plans, there are no additional costs associated
with street maintenance, sweeping, plowing, lighting and sidewalks. The development in the District
is expected to contribute an estimated $2,485 in sanitary sewer (SAC) fees per unit and $750 in water
(WAC) connection fees per WAC unit.
The probable impact of any District general obligation tax increment bonds on the ability to issue
debt for general fund purposes is expected to be minimal. It is not anticipated that there will be any
general obligation debt issued in relation to this project, therefore there will be no impact on the
City's ability to issue future debt or on the City's debt limit.
(3) Estimated amount of tax increment attributable to school district levies. It is estimated that the
amount of tax increments over the life of the District that would be attributable to school district
levies, assuming the school district's share of the total local tax rate for all taxing jurisdictions
remained the same, is $4,216,265;
(4) Estimated amount of tax increment attributable to county levies. It is estimated that the amount of
tax increments over the life of the District that would be attributable to county levies, assuming the
county's share of the total local tax rate for all taxing jurisdictions remained the same, is $8,548,640;
(5) Additional information requested by the county or school district. The City is not aware of any
standard questions in a county or school district written policy regarding tax increment districts and
impact on county or school district services. The county or school district must request additional
information pursuant to M.S. Section 469.175 Subd. 2(b) within 15 days after receipt of the tax
increment financing plan.
No requests for additional information from the county or school district regarding the proposed
development for the District have been received.

6. The market value homestead credit paid to the Authority under M.S., Section 273.1384.
Subsection 2-17. Modifications to the District
In accordance with M.S., Section 469.175, Subd. 4, any:
1. Reduction or enlargement of the geographic area of the District, if the reduction does not meet the
requirements of M.S., Section 469.175, Subd. 4(e);
2. Increase in amount of bonded indebtedness to be incurred;
3. A determination to capitalize interest on debt if that determination was not a part of the original TIF
Plan;
4. Increase in the portion of the captured net tax capacity to be retained by the EDA or City;

Pursuant to M.S. Section 469.175 Subd. 4(f), the geographic area of the District may be reduced, but shall not
be enlarged after five years following the date of certification of the original net tax capacity by the county
auditor. If a redevelopment district is enlarged, the reasons and supporting facts for the determination that
the addition to the district meets the criteria of M.S., Section 469.174, Subd. 10, must be documented in
writing and retained. The requirements of this paragraph do not apply if (1) the only modification is
elimination of parcel(s) from the District and (2)(A) the current net tax capacity of the parcel(s) eliminated
from the District equals or exceeds the net tax capacity of those parcel(s) in the District's original net tax
capacity or (B) the EDA agrees that, notwithstanding M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 1, the original net tax
capacity will be reduced by no more than the current net tax capacity of the parcel(s) eliminated from the
District.
The EDA or City must notify the County Auditor of any modification to the District. Modifications to the
District in the form of a budget modification or an expansion of the boundaries will be recorded in the TIF
Plan.
Subsection 2-18. Administrative Expenses
In accordance with M.S., Section 469.174, Subd. 14, administrative expenses means all expenditures of the
EDA or City, other than:
1. Amounts paid for the purchase of land;
2. Amounts paid to contractors or others providing materials and services, including architectural and
engineering services, directly connected with the physical development of the real property in the
District;
3. Relocation benefits paid to or services provided for persons residing or businesses located in the
District;
4. Amounts used to pay principal or interest on, fund a reserve for, or sell at a discount bonds issued

Tax Increment Financing Plan for the Wooddale Station Tax Increment Financing District 2-11
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 6a)
Title: Establishment of the Wooddale Station Tax Increment Financing District Page 29
5. Amounts used to pay other financial obligations to the extent those obligations were used to finance
costs described in clauses (1) to (3).
For districts for which certification was requested after July 31, 2001, no tax increment may be used to pay
any administrative expenses for District costs which exceed ten percent of total estimated tax increment
expenditures authorized by the TIF Plan or the total tax increments, as defined in M.S., Section 469.174, Subd.
25, clause (1), from the District, whichever is less.
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.176, Subd. 4h, tax increments may be used to pay for the County's actual
administrative expenses incurred in connection with the District and are not subject to the percentage limits
of M.S., Section 469.176, Subd. 3. The county may require payment of those expenses by February 15 of the
year following the year the expenses were incurred.
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469. 177, Subd. 11, the County Treasurer shall deduct an amount (currently .36
percent) of any increment distributed to the EDA or City and the County Treasurer shall pay the amount
deducted to the State Commissioner of Management and Budget for deposit in the state general fund to be
appropriated to the State Auditor for the cost of financial reporting of tax increment financing information
and the cost of examining and auditing authorities' use of tax increment financing. This amount may be
adjusted annually by the Commissioner of Revenue.
Subsection 2-19. Requirement of Qualified Activity
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.176, Subd. 6:
if, after four years from the date of certification of the original net tax capacity of the tax
increment financing district pursuant to M.S., Section 469.177, no demolition, rehabilitation
or renovation of property or other site preparation, including qualified improvement of a
street adjacent to a parcel but not installation of utility service including sewer or water
systems, has been commenced on a parcel located within a tax increment financing district
by the authority or by the owner of the parcel in accordance with the tax increment financing
plan, no additional tax increment may be taken from that parcel, and the original net tax
capacity of that parcel shall be excluded from the original net tax capacity of the tax
increment financing district. If the authority or the owner of the parcel subsequently
commences demolition, rehabilitation or renovation or other site preparation on that parcel
including qualified improvement of a street adjacent to that parcel, in accordance with the
tax increment financing plan, the authority shall certify to the county auditor that the activity
has commenced and the county auditor shall certify the net tax capacity thereof as most
recently certified by the commissioner of revenue and add it to the original net tax capacity
of the tax increment financing district. The county auditor must enforce the provisions of this
subdivision. The authority must submit to the county auditor evidence that the required
activity has taken place for each parcel in the district. The evidence for a parcel must be
submitted by February 1 of the fifth year following the year in which the parcel was certified
as included in the district. For purposes of this subdivision, qualified improvements of a
street are limited to (1) construction or opening of a new street, (2) relocation of a street,
and (3) substantial reconstruction or rebuilding of an existing street.
The EDA or City or a property owner must improve parcels within the District by approximately May 2021
and report such actions to the County Auditor.

City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 6a)
Title: Establishment of the Wooddale Station Tax Increment Financing District Page 30
Subsection 2-20. Use of Tax Increment

3. To pay for project costs as identified in the budget set forth in the TIF Plan;
4. To finance, or otherwise pay for other purposes as provided in M.S., Section 469.176, Subd. 4;
5. To pay principal and interest on any loans, advances or other payments made to or on behalf of the

7. To accumulate or maintain a reserve securing the payment when due of the principal and interest on
the tax increment bonds or bonds issued pursuant to M.S., Chapter 462C, M.S., Sections 469.152

These revenues shall not be used to circumvent any levy limitations applicable to the City nor for other
purposes prohibited by M.S., Section 469.176, Subd. 4.
Tax increments generated in the District will be paid by Hennepin County to the EDA for the Tax Increment
Fund of said District. The EDA or City will pay to the developer(s) annually an amount not to exceed an
amount as specified in a developer's agreement to reimburse the costs of land acquisition, public
improvements, demolition and relocation, site preparation, and administration. Remaining increment funds
will be used for EDA or City administration (up to 10 percent) and for the costs of public improvement
activities outside the District.
Subsection 2-21. Excess Increments
Excess increments, as defined in M.S., Section 469.176, Subd. 2, shall be used only to do one or more of the
following:
1. Prepay any outstanding bonds;
2. Discharge the pledge of tax increment for any outstanding bonds;
3. Pay into an escrow account dedicated to the payment of any outstanding bonds; or
4. Return the excess to the County Auditor for redistribution to the respective taxing jurisdictions in
proportion to their local tax rates.
The EDA or City must spend or return the excess increments under paragraph (c) within nine months after
the end of the year. In addition, the EDA or City may, subject to the limitations set forth herein, choose to

District.
Subsection 2-22. Requirements for Agreements with the Developer
The EDA or City will review any proposal for private development to determine its conformance with the
Redevelopment Plan and with applicable municipal ordinances and codes. To facilitate this effort, the
St. Louis Park Economic Development Authority
Tax Increment Financing Plan for the Wooddale Station Tax Increment Financing District 2-13
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 6a)
Title: Establishment of the Wooddale Station Tax Increment Financing District Page 31
following documents may be requested for review and approval: site plan, construction, mechanical, and
electrical system drawings, landscaping plan, grading and storm drainage plan, signage system plan, and any
other drawings or narrative deemed necessary by the EDA or City to demonstrate the conformance of the
development with City plans and ordinances. The EDA or City may also use the Agreements to address other
issues related to the development.
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.176, Subd. 5, no more than 25 percent, by acreage, of the property to be
acquired in the District as set forth in the TIF Plan shall at any time be owned by the EDA or City as a result
of acquisition with the proceeds of bonds issued pursuant to M.S., Section 469.178 to which tax increments
from property acquired is pledged, unless prior to acquisition in excess of 25 percent of the acreage, the EDA
or City concluded an agreement for the development or redevelopment of the property acquired and which
provides recourse for the EDA or City should the development or redevelopment not be completed.
Subsection 2-23. Assessment Agreements
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 8, the EDA or City may enter into a written assessment agreement
in recordable form with the developer of property within the District which establishes a minimum market
value of the land and completed improvements for the duration of the District. The assessment agreement
shall be presented to the County Assessor who shall review the plans and specifications for the improvements
to be constructed, review the market value previously assigned to the land upon which the improvements are
to be constructed and, so long as the minimum market value contained in the assessment agreement appears,
in the judgment of the assessor, to be a reasonable estimate, the County Assessor shall also certify the
minimum market value agreement.
Subsection 2-24. Administration of the District
Administration of the District will be handled by the Economic Development Coordinator.
Subsection 2-25. Annual Disclosure Requirements
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.175, Subds. 5, 6, and 6b the EDA or City must undertake financial reporting
for all tax increment financing districts to the Office of the State Auditor, County Board and County Auditor
on or before August 1 of each year. M.S., Section 469.175, Subd. 5 also provides that an annual statement
shall be published in a newspaper of general circulation in the City on or before August 15.
If the City fails to make a disclosure or submit a report containing the information required by M.S., Section
469.175 Subd. 5 and Subd. 6, the Office of the State Auditor will direct the County Auditor to withhold the
distribution of tax increment from the District.
Subsection 2-26. Reasonable Expectations
As required by the TIF Act, in establishing the District, the determination has been made that the anticipated
development would not reasonably be expected to occur solely through private investment within the
reasonably foreseeable future and that the increased market value of the site that could reasonably be expected
to occur without the use of tax increment financing would be less than the increase in the market value
estimated to result from the proposed development after subtracting the present value of the projected tax
increments for the maximum duration of the District permitted by the TIF Plan. In making said determination,
reliance has been placed upon written representation made by the developer to such effects and upon EDA
and City staff awareness of the feasibility of developing the project site(s) within the District. A comparative
analysis of estimated market values both with and without establishment of the District and the use of tax
St. Louis Park Economic Development Authority
Tax Increment Financing Plan for the Wooddale Station Tax Increment Financing District 2-14
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 6a)
Title: Establishment of the Wooddale Station Tax Increment Financing District Page 32
increments has been performed as described above. Such analysis is included with the cashflow in Appendix
D, and indicates that the increase in estimated market value of the proposed development (less the indicated
subtractions) exceeds the estimated market value of the site absent the establishment of the District and the
use of tax increments. More detail as to the City’s and EDA’s “but-for” findings is included in Appendix G.
Subsection 2-27. Limitations on the Use of Tax Increment
1. General Limitations. All revenue derived from tax increment shall be used in accordance with the TIF
Plan. The revenues shall be used to finance, or otherwise pay the cost of redevelopment of the
Redevelopment Project No. 1 pursuant to M.S., Sections 469.090 to 469.1082. Tax increments may not
be used to circumvent existing levy limit law. No tax increment may be used for the acquisition,
construction, renovation, operation, or maintenance of a building to be used primarily and regularly for
conducting the business of a municipality, county, school district, or any other local unit of government
or the state or federal government. This provision does not prohibit the use of revenues derived from tax
increments for the construction or renovation of a parking structure.
2. Pooling Limitations. At least 75 percent of tax increments from the District must be expended on
activities in the District or to pay bonds, to the extent that the proceeds of the bonds were used to finance
activities within said district or to pay, or secure payment of, debt service on credit enhanced bonds. Not
more than 25 percent of said tax increments may be expended, through a development fund or otherwise,
on activities outside of the District except to pay, or secure payment of, debt service on credit enhanced
bonds. For purposes of applying this restriction, all administrative expenses must be treated as if they
were solely for activities outside of the District.
3. Five-Year Limitation on Commitment of Tax Increments and Six-Year Rule. Tax increments derived
from the District shall be deemed to have satisfied the 75 percent test set forth in paragraph (2) above
only if the five year rule set forth in M.S., Section 469.1763, Subd. 3, has been satisfied; and beginning
with the sixth year following certification of the District, 75 percent of said tax increments that remain
after expenditures permitted under said five year rule must be used only to pay previously committed
expenditures or credit enhanced bonds as more fully set forth in M.S., Section 469.1763, Subd. 5.
4. Redevelopment District. At least 90 percent of the revenues derived from tax increment from a
redevelopment district must be used to finance the cost of correcting conditions that allow designation
of redevelopment and renewal and renovation districts under M.S., Section 469.176 Subd. 4j. These costs
include, but are not limited to, acquiring properties containing structurally substandard buildings or
improvements or hazardous substances, pollution, or contaminants, acquiring adjacent parcels necessary
to provide a site of sufficient size to permit development, demolition and rehabilitation of structures,
clearing of the land, the removal of hazardous substances or remediation necessary for development of
the land, and installation of utilities, roads, sidewalks, and parking facilities for the site. The allocated
administrative expenses of the EDA or City, including the cost of preparation of the development action
response plan, may be included in the qualifying costs.
Subsection 2-28. Summary
The St. Louis Park Economic Development Authority is establishing the District to preserve and enhance the
tax base, redevelop substandard areas, and provide diversified housing options in the City. The TIF Plan for
the District was prepared by Ehlers & Associates, Inc., 3060 Centre Pointe Drive, Roseville, Minnesota
55113, telephone (651) 697-8500.

PART 1 – EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
PURPOSE OF EVALUATION
LHB was hired by the City of St. Louis Park to inspect and evaluate the properties within a Tax
Increment Financing Redevelopment District (“TIF District”) proposed to be established by the City.
The proposed TIF District is located at Highway 7 and Wooddale Avenue (Diagram 1). The purpose
of LHB’s work is to determine whether the proposed TIF District meets the statutory requirements
for coverage, and whether two (2) buildings on nine (9) parcels and two (2) right of way parcels, located
within the proposed TIF District, meet the qualifications required for a Redevelopment District.
Diagram 1 – Proposed TIF District
SCOPE OF WORK
The proposed TIF District consists of nine (9) parcels and two (2) right of way parcels with two (2)
buildings. Two (2) buildings were inspected on September 27, 2016 and October 14, 2016. Building
code and Condition Deficiency Reports for the buildings that were inspected are located in Appendix
B.

CONCLUSION
After inspecting and evaluating the properties within the proposed TIF District and applying current
statutory criteria for a Redevelopment District under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10,
it is our professional opinion that the proposed TIF District qualifies as a Redevelopment District
because:
•The proposed TIF District has a coverage calculation of 88.7 percent which is above the 70
percent requirement.
•100 percent of the buildings are structurally substandard which is above the 50 percent
requirement.
•The substandard buildings are reasonably distributed.
The remainder of this report describes our process and findings in detail.
PART 2 – MINNESOTA STATUTE 469.174, SUBDIVISION 10
REQUIREMENTS
The properties were inspected in accordance with the following requirements under Minnesota Statutes,
Section 469.174, Subdivision 10(c), which states:
INTERIOR INSPECTION
“The municipality may not make such determination [that the building is structurally substandard]
without an interior inspection of the property...”
EXTERIOR INSPECTION AND OTHER MEANS
“An interior inspection of the property is not required, if the municipality finds that
(1) the municipality or authority is unable to gain access to the property after using its best efforts
to obtain permission from the party that owns or controls the property; and
(2) the evidence otherwise supports a reasonable conclusion that the building is structurally
substandard.”
DOCUMENTATION
“Written documentation of the findings and reasons why an interior inspection was not conducted
must be made and retained under section 469.175, subdivision 3(1).”
QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS
Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10 (a) (1) requires three tests for occupied parcels:
A.COVERAGE TEST
…“parcels consisting of 70 percent of the area of the district are occupied by buildings, streets,
utilities, or paved or gravel parking lots…”
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 6a)
Title: Establishment of the Wooddale Station Tax Increment Financing District Page 48
Highway 7 and Wooddale Redevelopment TIF District
LHB Project No. 160699 Page 4 of 11 Final Report
The coverage required by the parcel to be considered occupied is defined under Minnesota
Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10(e), which states: “For purposes of this subdivision, a parcel
is not occupied by buildings, streets, utilities, paved or gravel parking lots, or other similar
structures unless 15 percent of the area of the parcel contains buildings, streets, utilities, paved
or gravel parking lots, or other similar structures.”
B.CONDITION OF BUILDINGS TEST
Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10(a) states, “…and more than 50 percent of the
buildings, not including outbuildings, are structurally substandard to a degree requiring
substantial renovation or clearance;”
1.Structurally substandard is defined under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10(b),
which states: “For purposes of this subdivision, ‘structurally substandard’ shall mean
containing defects in structural elements or a combination of deficiencies in essential
utilities and facilities, light and ventilation, fire protection including adequate egress, layout
and condition of interior partitions, or similar factors, which defects or deficiencies are of
sufficient total significance to justify substantial renovation or clearance.”
a.We do not count energy code deficiencies toward the thresholds required by Minnesota
Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10(b) defined as “structurally substandard”, due to
concerns expressed by the State of Minnesota Court of Appeals in the Walser Auto
Sales, Inc. vs. City of Richfield case filed November 13, 2001.
2.Buildings are not eligible to be considered structurally substandard unless they meet certain
additional criteria, as set forth in Subdivision 10(c) which states:
“A building is not structurally substandard if it is in compliance with the building code
applicable to new buildings or could be modified to satisfy the building code at a cost of
less than 15 percent of the cost of constructing a new structure of the same square footage
and type on the site. The municipality may find that a building is not disqualified as
structurally substandard under the preceding sentence on the basis of reasonably available
evidence, such as the size, type, and age of the building, the average cost of plumbing,
electrical, or structural repairs, or other similar reliable evidence.”
“Items of evidence that support such a conclusion [that the building is not disqualified]
include recent fire or police inspections, on-site property tax appraisals or housing
inspections, exterior evidence of deterioration, or other similar reliable evidence.”
LHB counts energy code deficiencies toward the 15 percent code threshold required by
Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10(c)) for the following reasons:
•The Minnesota energy code is one of ten building code areas highlighted by the
Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry website where minimum
construction standards are required by law.
•Chapter 13 of the 2015 Minnesota Building Code states, “Buildings shall be designed
and constructed in accordance with the International Energy Conservation Code.”
Furthermore, Minnesota Rules, Chapter 1305.0021 Subpart 9 states, “References
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 6a)
Title: Establishment of the Wooddale Station Tax Increment Financing District Page 49
Highway 7 and Wooddale Redevelopment TIF District
LHB Project No. 160699 Page 5 of 11 Final Report
to the International Energy Conservation Code in this code mean the Minnesota Energy
Code…”
•The Senior Building Code Representative for the Construction Codes and
Licensing Division of the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry
confirmed that the Minnesota Energy Code is being enforced throughout the State
of Minnesota.
•In a January 2002 report to the Minnesota Legislature, the Management Analysis
Division of the Minnesota Department of Administration confirmed that the
construction cost of new buildings complying with the Minnesota Energy Code is
higher than buildings built prior to the enactment of the code.
•Proper TIF analysis requires a comparison between the replacement value of a
new building built under current code standards with the repairs that would be
necessary to bring the existing building up to current code standards. In order for
an equal comparison to be made, all applicable code chapters should be applied to
both scenarios. Since current construction estimating software automatically
applies the construction cost of complying with the Minnesota Energy Code,
energy code deficiencies should also be identified in the existing structures.
C.DISTRIBUTION OF SUBSTANDARD BUILDINGS
Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10, defines a Redevelopment District and requires
one or more of the following conditions, “reasonably distributed throughout the district.”
(1)“Parcels consisting of 70 percent of the area of the district are occupied by buildings,
streets, utilities, paved or gravel parking lots, or other similar structures and more than
50 percent of the buildings, not including outbuildings, are structurally substandard to a
degree requiring substantial renovation or clearance;
(2)the property consists of vacant, unused, underused, inappropriately used, or infrequently
used rail yards, rail storage facilities, or excessive or vacated railroad rights-of-way;
(3)tank facilities, or property whose immediately previous use was for tank facilities…”
Our interpretation of the distribution requirement is that the substandard buildings must be
reasonably distributed throughout the district as compared to the location of all buildings in
the district. For example, if all of the buildings in a district are located on one half of the
area of the district, with the other half occupied by parking lots (meeting the required 70
percent coverage for the district), we would evaluate the distribution of the substandard
buildings compared with only the half of the district where the buildings are located. If all of
the buildings in a district are located evenly throughout the entire area of the district, the
substandard buildings must be reasonably distributed throughout the entire area of the
district. We believe this is consistent with the opinion expressed by the State of Minnesota
Court of Appeals in the Walser Auto Sales, Inc. vs. City of Richfield case filed November 13,
2001.

PART 3 – PROCEDURES FOLLOWED
LHB inspected two (2) of the two (2) buildings during the day of September 27, 2016 and October
14, 2016.
PART 4 – FINDINGS
A.COVERAGE TEST
1. The total square foot area of the parcel in the proposed TIF District was obtained from City
records, GIS mapping and site verification.
2.The total square foot area of buildings and site improvements on the parcels in the
proposed TIF District was obtained from City records, GIS mapping and site verification.
3.The percentage of coverage for each parcel in the proposed TIF District was computed to
determine if the 15 percent minimum requirement was met. The total square footage of
parcels meeting the 15 percent requirement was divided into the total square footage of the
entire district to determine if the 70 percent requirement was met.
FINDING:
The proposed TIF District met the coverage test under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision
10(e), which resulted in parcels consisting of 88.7 percent of the area of the proposed TIF District
being occupied by buildings, streets, utilities, paved or gravel parking lots, or other similar structures
(Diagram 2). This exceeds the 70 percent area coverage requirement for the proposed TIF District
under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision (a) (1).

B.CONDITION OF BUILDING TEST
1.BUILDING INSPECTION
The first step in the evaluation process is the building inspection. After an initial walk-
thru, the inspector makes a judgment whether or not a building “appears” to have enough
defects or deficiencies of sufficient total significance to justify substantial renovation or
clearance. If it does, the inspector documents with notes and photographs code and non-
code deficiencies in the building.
2.REPLACEMENT COST
The second step in evaluating a building to determine if it is substandard to a degree
requiring substantial renovation or clearance is to determine its replacement cost. This is
the cost of constructing a new structure of the same square footage and type on site.
Replacement costs were researched using R.S. Means Cost Works square foot models for
2016.
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 6a)
Title: Establishment of the Wooddale Station Tax Increment Financing District Page 52
Highway 7 and Wooddale Redevelopment TIF District
LHB Project No. 160699 Page 8 of 11 Final Report
A replacement cost was calculated by first establishing building use (office, retail, residential,
etc.), building construction type (wood, concrete, masonry, etc.), and building size to obtain
the appropriate median replacement cost, which factors in the costs of construction in St.
Louis Park, Minnesota.
Replacement cost includes labor, materials, and the contractor’s overhead and profit.
Replacement costs do not include architectural fees, legal fees or other “soft” costs not
directly related to construction activities. Replacement cost for each building is tabulated
in Appendix A.
3.CODE DEFICIENCIES
The next step in evaluating a building is to determine what code deficiencies exist with
respect to such building. Code deficiencies are those conditions for a building which are
not in compliance with current building codes applicable to new buildings in the State of
Minnesota.
Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10(c), specifically provides that a building
cannot be considered structurally substandard if its code deficiencies are not at least 15
percent of the replacement cost of the building. As a result, it was necessary to determine
the extent of code deficiencies for each building in the proposed TIF District.
The evaluation was made by reviewing all available information with respect to such
buildings contained in City Building Inspection records and making interior and exterior
inspections of the buildings. LHB utilizes the current Minnesota State Building Code as
the official code for our evaluations. The Minnesota State Building Code is actually a series
of provisional codes written specifically for Minnesota only requirements, adoption of
several international codes, and amendments to the adopted international codes.
After identifying the code deficiencies in each building, we used R.S. Means Cost Works
2016; Unit and Assembly Costs to determine the cost of correcting the identified
deficiencies. We were then able to compare the correction costs with the replacement cost
of each building to determine if the costs for correcting code deficiencies meet the required
15 percent threshold.
FINDING:
Two (2) out of two (2) buildings (100 percent) in the proposed TIF District contained code
deficiencies exceeding the 15 percent threshold required by Minnesota Statutes, Section
469.174, Subdivision 10(c). Building Code, Condition Deficiency and Context Analysis
reports for the buildings in the proposed TIF District can be found in Appendix B of this
report.
4.SYSTEM CONDITION DEFICIENCIES
If a building meets the minimum code deficiency threshold under Minnesota Statutes, Section
469.174, Subdivision 10(c), then in order for such building to be “structurally substandard”
under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10(b), the building’s defects or
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 6a)
Title: Establishment of the Wooddale Station Tax Increment Financing District Page 53
Highway 7 and Wooddale Redevelopment TIF District
LHB Project No. 160699 Page 9 of 11 Final Report
deficiencies should be of sufficient total significance to justify “substantial renovation or
clearance.” Based on this definition, LHB re-evaluated each of the buildings that met the
code deficiency threshold under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10(c), to
determine if the total deficiencies warranted “substantial renovation or clearance” based on
the criteria we outlined above.
System condition deficiencies are a measurement of defects or substantial deterioration in
site elements, structure, exterior envelope, mechanical and electrical components, fire
protection and emergency systems, interior partitions, ceilings, floors and doors.
The evaluation of system condition deficiencies was made by reviewing all available
information contained in City records, and making interior and exterior inspections of the
buildings. LHB only identified system condition deficiencies that were visible upon our
inspection of the building or contained in City records. We did not consider the amount
of “service life” used up for a particular component unless it was an obvious part of that
component’s deficiencies.
After identifying the system condition deficiencies in each building, we used our
professional judgment to determine if the list of defects or deficiencies is of sufficient total
significance to justify “substantial renovation or clearance.”
FINDING:
In our professional opinion, two (2) out of two (2) buildings (100 percent) in the proposed
TIF District are structurally substandard to a degree requiring substantial renovation or
clearance, because of defects in structural elements or a combination of deficiencies in
essential utilities and facilities, light and ventilation, fire protection including adequate
egress, layout and condition of interior partitions, or similar factors which defects or
deficiencies are of sufficient total significance to justify substantial renovation or clearance.
This exceeds the 50 percent requirement of Subdivision 10a(1).
C.DISTRIBUTION OF SUBSTANDARD STRUCTURES
Much of this report has focused on the condition of individual buildings as they relate to
requirements identified by Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10. It is also
important to look at the distribution of substandard buildings throughout the geographic
area of the proposed TIF District (Diagram 3).
FINDING:
The parcels with substandard buildings are reasonably distributed compared to all parcels
that contain buildings.

Appendix G
Findings Including But/For Qualifications
The reasons and facts supporting the findings for the adoption of the Tax Increment Financing Plan (TIF
Plan) for the Wooddale Station Tax Increment Financing District (District), as required pursuant to Minnesota
Statutes, Section 469.175, Subdivision 3 are as follows:
1. Finding that Wooddale Station Tax Increment Financing District is a redevelopment district as
defined in M.S., Section 469.174, Subd. 10.
The District consists of 9 parcels and adjacent ROW, with plans to redevelop the area for housing
and commercial purposes. At least 70 percent of the area of the parcels in the District are occupied
by buildings, streets, utilities, paved or gravel parking lots or other similar structures and more than
50 percent of the buildings in the District, not including outbuildings, are structurally substandard
to a degree requiring substantial renovation or clearance. (See Appendix F of the TIF Plan.)
2. Finding that the proposed development, in the opinion of the City Council, would not reasonably be
expected to occur solely through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future and that
the increased market value of the site that could reasonably be expected to occur without the use of
tax increment financing would be less than the increase in the market value estimated to result from
the proposed development after subtracting the present value of the projected tax increments for the
maximum duration of the District permitted by the TIF Plan.
The proposed development, in the opinion of the City, would not reasonably be expected to occur
solely through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future: This finding is supported
by the fact that the redevelopment proposed in the TIF Plan meets the City's objectives for
redevelopment, but that due to the high costs of redevelopment on the parcels currently occupied by
substandard buildings, including costs associated with demolition, soil remediation, site
improvements, and utilities; costs to finance the proposed improvements; and costs to include
affordable housing, this project is feasible only through assistance, in part, from tax increment
financing. The developer was asked for and provided a letter and a proforma as justification that the
developer would not have gone forward without tax increment assistance.
The increased market value of the site that could reasonably be expected to occur without the use of
tax increment financing would be less than the increase in market value estimated to result from the
proposed development after subtracting the present value of the projected tax increments for the
maximum duration of the District permitted by the TIF Plan: This finding is justified on the grounds
that the costs of demolition, soil remediation, site improvements, utility improvements and
construction of affordable housing add to the total redevelopment cost. Historically, the costs of site
and public improvements and of the construction of affordable housing in the City have made
redevelopment infeasible without tax increment assistance. Although other projects could potentially
be proposed, the City reasonably determines that no other redevelopment of similar scope can be
anticipated on this site without substantially similar assistance being provided to the development.
Therefore, the City concludes as follows:
a. The City's estimate of the amount by which the market value of the entire District will
increase without the use of tax increment financing is $0.
Appendix G-1
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 6a)
Title: Establishment of the Wooddale Station Tax Increment Financing District Page 99
b. If the proposed development occurs, the total increase in market value will be $54,725,150.
c. The present value of tax increments from the District for the maximum duration of the
district permitted by the TIF Plan is estimated to be $13,561,004.
d. Even if some development other than the proposed development were to occur, the Council
finds that no alternative would occur that would produce a market value increase greater than
$41,164,146 (the amount in clause b less the amount in clause c) without tax increment
assistance.
3. Finding that the TIF Plan for the District conforms to the general plan for the development or
redevelopment of the municipality as a whole.
The Planning Commission reviewed the TIF Plan and found that the TIF Plan conforms to the
general development plan of the City.
4. Finding that the TIF Plan for the District will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound
needs of the City as a whole, for the development or redevelopment of Redevelopment Project No.
1 by private enterprise.
The project to be assisted by the District will result in diversified housing opportunities and increased
employment in the City and the State of Minnesota, the renovation of substandard properties,
increased tax base of the State and add a high quality development to the City.
Specifically, through the implementation of the TIF Plan, the EDA or City will increase the
availability of safe and decent life-cycle housing in the City.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: PLACE St. Louis Park EAW Finding of Fact and Record of Decision
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to Adopt Resolution certifying the environmental
assessment worksheet (EAW) as an adequate examination of the environmental impacts and
accepting the Record of Decision, declaring no need for an Environmental Impact Statement for
the PLACE redevelopment project. (Requires 4 affirmative votes.)
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does the Findings of Fact and Record of Decision for the EAW
satisfy the requirements for making a negative declaration regarding the need for an Environmental
Impact Statement?
SUMMARY: Requested is an adoption of findings regarding the EAW for the PLACE
redevelopment. The city council received a written report regarding the EAW on March 13, 2017.
The EAW examined the potential environmental impacts of the proposed project. Projects
determined to have the potential for significant negative environmental effects must do further
environmental review, in the form of an environmental impact statement (EIS).
The city received 16 sets of comments from agencies and individuals/groups. Most of the
comments focused on one of four topic areas, including the anaerobic digester,
transportation/traffic, parking, and finance/management. The comments, and responses to all
substantive comments, are included in the attached Findings of Fact and Record of Decision
document (Exhibit A to the Resolution). Responses will be sent to the individual commenters
following the city council’s record of decision in accordance with Minnesota Rules.
Review of the EAW is complete. City staff find that the PLACE redevelopment project does not
have the potential for significant negative environmental effects and does not warrant an EIS.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: Not applicable.
VISION CONSIDERATION: St. Louis Park is committed to being a leader in environmental
stewardship. We will increase environmental consciousness and responsibility in all areas of city
business.

DISCUSSION
BACKGROUND: The city council received a written report regarding the EAW on March 13,
2017. The EAW has been available for review by the public since at least March 7, 2017 and the
formal comment period was open from March 6 through April 19, 2017.
The city received 16 sets of comments from agencies and individuals/groups. The comments, and
the responses to all substantive comments, are included in the attached Findings of Fact and Record
of Decision document (Exhibit A to the Resolution). The city will send the formal responses to the
individual commenters following the city council’s record of decision in accordance with
Minnesota Rules.
Please note that there are several other items and staff reports regarding the PLACE redevelopment
project included in the city council agenda packet for May 1, 2017. This report will attempt to
avoid duplication of information provided elsewhere in this agenda. The attached supporting
documents, including the EAW and Findings of Fact and Record of Decision document. They
provide much of the detail and background information reading potential impacts; therefore, there
are brief summaries provided in the discussion section of the report and the detailed information
is not repeated here.
PRESENT CONSIDERATIONS: Staff recommends adoption of findings regarding the PLACE
St. Louis Park Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW), record of decision, and a negative
declaration regarding the need for an environmental impact statement.
The new material that has not been available for city council review previously is contained in the
Findings of Fact and Record of Decision document. It includes all the EAW comments we received
and the responses to those comments.
None of the regulatory agency comments indicated the need for an environmental impact
statement.
Many of the comments from community members focused on four topic areas, including the
anaerobic digester, transportation/traffic, parking, and finance/management. A brief summary of
those topic areas is provided below.
Anaerobic Digester: In summary, the digester is a self-contained small volume (approximately
600 tons per year) unit manufactured by SEaBEnergy called the Flexibuster. The unit itself will
be inside a building designed to control, contain, and filter out odors produced. The Flexibuster is
relatively new having been invented in 2009-10, but to date has not exhibited problems in
operation.
The Flexibuster will be used to process the organic material for the PLACE project and possibly
spent grains from a nearby local brewery. Truck traffic to and from the digester site will be very
infrequent and the amount of biogas generated very small in comparison to the large commercial
and agricultural methane operations elsewhere. The energy content present in the Flexibuster at
any one time will be equivalent of 3.17 gallons of diesel fuel.
The owner of the facility will be responsible for meeting all building and fire codes related to the
construction and installation of the building and equipment, state and local permitting
requirements, and meeting the performance standards in the ordinance. This is a much smaller
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 8a) Page 3
Title: PLACE St. Louis Park EAW Finding of Fact and Record of Decision
operation than many of the examples identified by the commenters. More details about the system
and State and local review of the system will occur as part of the final design and permitting of the
building and system. While the potential exists for nuisances, and if nuisance issues occur, the city
has the authority to fine, shut down, or revoke permits issued for the use if there are violations.
The owner would be responsible to address any issues that arise or abandon the use if the issues
cannot be corrected.
It is noteworthy to add that the proposer shares in the interest to avoid such issues, as they will
own the residential and commercial properties in the development, which will also be sensitive to
these issues.
Transportation/Traffic: The traffic impact study completed by SEH on behalf of the city was a
detailed review of traffic operations. This information was presented to the community at a
neighborhood meeting in the summer of 2016. The study concluded the existing and future traffic
operations are safe and operate at an acceptable level of service.
Several comments were regarding potential delays in LRT and suggestions that the PLACE
redevelopment should not proceed, or not proceed until the status of LRT is known or actually in
service. The comments indicated that the development and study relied on LRT to be successful
and avoid traffic impacts. There were also comments regarding safety and congestion in the
immediate area.
The Metropolitan Council’s regional transportation plan and the City’s comprehensive plan have
identified light rail in the corridor for over 10 years. This has resulted in significant planning and
investment along the corridor. Certain contracts for construction of LRT are currently out for bid.
Therefore, the study assumed the presence of the METRO Green Line Extension/Southwest Light
Rail Transit Wooddale Station (LRT) and several other improvements included in the LRT project
base plan. In addition, it included city improvements to Wooddale Avenue and 36th Street and the
Wooddale Avenue bridge that are programmed for 2018-2019 and coincide with LRT work.
The traffic impact study did not include the mobility plan elements in its modeling of traffic
generation, to be conservative. The mobility measures, especially the car-free units, have the
potential to reduce the trips from the site similarly to the trip reductions that the traffic study
assumed with the presence of Southwest Light Rail.
If the LRT truly does not proceed or is significantly delayed, additional traffic analysis will be
completed to decide precisely what, if any, mitigation measures should be implemented.
Parking: The appropriate supply of parking was assessed by the applicant, city staff and an
independent consultant. Staff’s assessment and recommendation of appropriate parking reductions
based upon the site location, was more directly tied to the Mobility Plan for the project than the
presence of LRT. The Mobility Plan is a commitment of the proposer and required with or without
LRT. It is also a requirement of the approvals and agreements that would be associated with the
planned unit development. In addition, the proposer submitted a proof-of-parking plan that could
be required to be implemented if the Mobility Plan or adjustment thereto are not effective enough
to deter undue on-street parking that causes a nuisance for the surrounding neighborhood. In
addition, the city has the ability to manage the on-street parking through various restrictions to
address observed issues.
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 8a) Page 4
Title: PLACE St. Louis Park EAW Finding of Fact and Record of Decision
Finance/Management: Another category of concerns related to the financing of the project and
experience of the proposer to deliver the project and successfully manage it. Several of these
concerns related to a misunderstanding of the extent of the city’s involvement and funding of the
project.
The market studies for the project contemplated the feasibility of the project with and without
SWLRT and determined that it is feasible under both scenarios. The presence or absence of the
SWLRT project improvements is not expected to significantly impact the construction cost of the
PLACE project.
The PLACE team has stated they have experience in the creation of other similar projects for
public benefit, none of which have ever been in default or foreclosure. The PLACE Board of
Directors and Advisory Board include other developers, architects, real estate professionals,
academics, and executives from substantial corporations and the finance industry. The City’s and
Economic Development Authority’s fiscal consultants’ analyses of the proposed project found it
to be consistent with industry standards. The City’s engineering staff and independent engineering
consultants have reviewed the project. The fiscal consultants’ analyses of the proposed project on
behalf of the proposer and the city found it to be consistent with industry standards.
The responses to the comments and the staff reports in this agenda regarding the tax increment
financing district plan and the proposed purchase agreement and redevelopment agreement
describe in detail the level of the City/Economic Development Authority involvement. The
development agreement will address project requirements/objectives and the consequences if
requirements are not met.
Resolution of any project cash flow issues is not the City’s or Economic Development Authority’s
responsibility under the purchase and redevelopment agreement. It is solely the responsibility of
the developer/owner and their lenders. Any delinquency on a mortgage is also an event of default
on the purchase and redevelopment agreement. The City/Economic Development Authority is not
responsible for the financial success or failure of the PLACE project.
Other topics: Regulatory agency EAW comments included, but were not limited to, requests for
continued coordination with State and Regional agencies to ensure compatibility with existing and
planned regional improvements, awareness of contamination issues in the area, and permitting
requirements.
The individual comments included, but were not limited to, topics such as affordable housing, E-
generation system, Rusty Patch Bumble Bee, and soil conditions.
NEXT STEPS: If the attached resolution is approved, staff will distribute the findings per
Minnesota Rules to the EQB distribution list, surrounding jurisdictions and individual
commenters.

PLACE St. Louis Park 1 April 2017
1. Administrative Background
PLACE, a 501(c)(3), proposes to redevelop nine brownfield parcels in St. Louis Park into a mixed-use,
environmentally sustainable, transit-oriented community. The project will include 299 mixed-income
living spaces, including live/work space for artists; a 110-room hotel; retail space; and neighborhood
amenities like an urban forest. The project will also include an e-generation facility that will digest all
compostable materials generated on site.
The City of St. Louis Park is the Responsible Governmental Unit (RGU) for this project. An
Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) has been prepared in accordance with Minnesota Rules
Chapter 4410. The EAW was mandatory per Minnesota Rules, part 4410.4300, subpart 32.
The EAW was filed with the Minnesota Environmental Quality Board (EQB) and circulated for review
and comment to the required EAW distribution list. A notice of availability was published in the EQB
Monitor on March 6, 2017. A notice was also published in the Sun Sailor newspaper and on NextDoor

2. Findings of Fact
2.1 Project Description
PLACE, a 501(c)(3), proposes to redevelop nine brownfield parcels in St. Louis Park into a mixed-use,
environmentally sustainable, transit-oriented community. The project is being developed on parcels north
and south of an existing rail line. Descriptions of the proposed development on the northern and southern
sites is provided below.
2.1.1 Northern Site
Proposed development on the northern site includes:
• 218 apartments (including affordable, market-rate, and live-work)
• Commercial bike shop
• E-Generation facility, which will use PLACE’s patent-pending portfolio of renewable energy
systems to convert locally-sourced organic waste into energy for the project and a soil
amendment byproduct that will be used in the on-site greenhouse. The E-generation facility will
anaerobically digest food waste material generated from the residences, hotel, and commercial
establishments on-site to produce methane that will power a 30 kilowatt (kW) generator. The heat
and electrical power from the generator will be used in residences and the hotel on the project
site.
• 0.88 acres of urban forest
• Buildings, site, and program designed to support a multigenerational community where
households at all stages in life and income feel welcome
• Mobility Plan with car/bike sharing, shuttle, and car-free living incentives
• Green roofs for additional stormwater management and habitat
2.1.2 Southern Site
Proposed development on the southern site includes:
• 81 apartments (including affordable, market-rate, and live-work)
• 110-room Fairfield by Marriott hotel
• Commercial space for a café, coffee house, and five microbusinesses
• Green roofs for additional stormwater management and habitat
• Structured parking
• “Placemaking plaza” adjacent to the Wooddale LRT Station to provide pedestrian-oriented
multiuse space
2.2 Corrections to the EAW or Changes to the Project since the
EAW was Published
There has been one change to the proposed project design since the EAW was published. The two 1 MW
combined heat and electrical power generators at the E-Generation facility are no longer part of the
proposed development. The summary of impacts and mitigation provided in Section 2.4.1 of this
document reflects the current proposed design and no longer references the two 1 MW generators.

2.4 Decision Regarding Need for an Environmental Impact
Statement
The City of St. Louis Park finds that the analysis completed for the EAW and the additional information
considered in this Findings of Fact and Conclusions document are adequate to determine whether the
project has the potential for significant environmental effects based on consideration of the four criteria
identified in Minnesota Rules, part 4410.1700, subpart 7 (described in the four sections that follow).
2.4.1 Type, Extent, and Reversibility of Impacts
The City of St. Louis Park finds that the analysis completed for the EAW is adequate to determine
whether the project has the potential for significant environmental effects. The EAW described the type
and extent of impacts to the natural and built environment anticipated to result from the proposed project.
This document provides corrections, changes, and new information since the EAW was published. The
proposed design for the project includes features to mitigate the identified impacts. Based on the EAW
analysis and mitigation commitments, the proposed project is not anticipated to result in substantial
impacts.
Below is a summary of the findings regarding potential environmental impacts of the proposed project
and the design features included to avoid, minimize, and mitigate these impacts.
2.4.1.1 Land Use
The project will be compatible with nearby land uses and with land uses planned in anticipation of the
2021 opening of the Southwest Light Rail Transit (LRT ). The project will incorporate several measures to
minimize traffic impacts on adjacent properties and promote bicycle and transit ridership, as described in
Section 2.4.1.10.
2.4.1.2 Geology, Soils, and Topography/Land Forms
Geology
No geologic features were identified that will be likely to require any modifications to project designs or
mitigation measures.
Soils and Topography
Gentle slopes on the project site result in a relatively low erosion potential during both construction and
operational activities. The existing and newly installed catch basins in the project site will be protected
with appropriate erosion and sediment control devices during construction to limit erosion and potential
runoff to surface water bodies until permanent erosion control measures are established. Mitigation
strategies to limit erosion and runoff are described in Section 2.4.1.3.
2.4.1.3 Water Resources
S urface Waters
The project site does not contain any surface waters or wetlands.
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 8a)
Title: PLACE St. Louis Park EAW Finding of Fact and Record of Decision Page 12
PLACE St. Louis Park 5 April 2017
Groundwater
The project site is overlapped by the Drinking Water Supply Management Areas (DWSMAs) for the
Wellhead Protection Plans of the cities of St. Louis Park and Edina. Proposed project activities and
planned land uses are believed to pose relatively low threat to bedrock aquifers that supply the City’s
drinking water wells. To further reduce the threat to groundwater resources, mitigation measures will
include storing fuels and fuel-containing equipment over impervious surface during site construction
activities, with containment available to capture leaks and spills before they infiltrate into soils. Any
observed leaks and spills will be reported immediately to the Minnesota Duty Officer, so any required
investigation and cleanup activities can be conducted with State supervision.
Wastewater
The E-generation facility will produce a maximum volume of 1,000 gallons per day of wastewater from
dewatering of the digested organic solids (the digested food waste coming out of the anaerobic digester
system). Some of this wastewater will be used in the on-site greenhouse, but the majority will be
discharged to the publicly owned sanitary sewer system. This sewer system connects to the Metropolitan
Council Environmental Services (MCES) interceptor system, which discharges to the Metro Wastewater
Treatment Facility (WWTF) in St. Paul. The Metro WWTF treats about 250 million gallons per day, with
the capacity to treat 300 million gallons per day. The wastewater is expected to contain less than 100 mg/l
Total Suspended Solids and less than 100 mg/l Biochemical Oxygen Demand, tested over five days
(BOD5). The wastewater is expected to contain very high concentrations of ammonia-nitrogen and
phosphorus. However, due to the very low volume of wastewater, the total amount of ammonia and
phosphorus discharged to the sanitary system will be minimal. No pretreatment of the wastewater is
needed prior to discharge to the public sanitary sewer.
Stormwater
Stormwater runoff from the project site will be directed north to the MnDOT trunk storm system via pipes
and catch basins from the northern site, and to the W 35th Street and the W 36th Street storm systems from
the southern site. The north site will drain to an existing MnDOT pond to the east then be conveyed
through storm sewer to Bass Lake. The south site will drain to an existing city pond, then be conveyed
through storm sewer to Bass Lake. Runoff from both the north and south sites will be treated on site prior
to discharging to downstream waters. The entire project site will be managed by gravity systems that will
convey runoff to the east.
The north site has a total area of 4.14 acres, and 2.58 of those acres are routed to Best Management
Practices (BMPs), including a tree trench, green roof, iron-enhanced sand filtration, and stormwater reuse.
A hydrologic model of the proposed north site provides a 100-year runoff rate of 13.1 cubic feet per
second (cfs). This is based on the TP-40 100-year, 24-hour rainfall of 6.0 inches. The City’s rate control
requirement calls for a maximum runoff rate of 17.7 cfs, which corresponds to the runoff rate of the 10-
year rain event under existing conditions.
The south site has a total area of 1.96 acres, and approximately 1.15 acres are routed to BMPs including
green roofs, permeable pavement, and inline storm sewer filtration. The south site drains to an existing
stormwater pond to the east, and rate control is assumed to be provided by this pond.

Title: PLACE St. Louis Park EAW Finding of Fact and Record of Decision Page 13
PLACE St. Louis Park 6 April 2017
Water Appropriation
The project will generate an estimated annual water demand of 14.3 million gallons per year to serve
residential and commercial needs. All water will be obtained from a connection to the City of St. Louis
Park’s municipal water supply system. The City has sufficient capacity to meet current and projected
demands with existing wells.
2.4.1.4 Contamination/Hazardous Materials/Wastes
Pre-Project Site Conditions
Phase I environmental site assessments (ESAs) were completed for the northern site in July 2015 and the
southern site in September 2016. Four Recognized Environmental Conditions (RECs) were identified on
each site.
Phase II ESAs were completed for both sites in September 2016. Results of the Phase II ESA for the
northern site indicated the following:
• Arsenic soil concentrations at three locations and diesel range organics (DRO) concentrations at
eight locations exceeded their respective MPCA criteria
• Soil gas concentrations at four locations exceeded the MPCA’s 10-times residential intrusion
screening values (10X ISVs) for one or more of the following compounds: 1,3-butadiene,
chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, ethyl benzene, and xylenes
Results of the Phase II ESA for the southern site indicated the following:
• Exceedances of the screening Soil Leaching Values (SLVs) for arsenic, cadmium, and silver at
one location and tetrachloroethylene (PCE) in two locations
• Exceedances of the residential Soil Reference Values (SRVs) for arsenic, cadmium, and lead in
soil samples collected from one location
• Elevated diesel range organics (DRO) concentrations were present beneath a building
• Soil gas concentrations at four locations exceeded the 10X ISVs for one or more of the following
compounds: 1,3-butadiene, benzene, trichloroethylene (TCE), and PCE
Based on the elevated soil gas concentrations detected across the project site and the impacted
groundwater located beneath the project site, vapor mitigation for future buildings on the project site is
necessary to minimize the potential release of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) via the soil gas
pathway to the indoor air.
Response Action Plans (RAPs) for the northern and southern sites were prepared in September 2016, as
summarized below:
• Northern site
o Excavate and dispose of contaminated materials off the project site, including residual
impacts that may be detected around the abandoned in-place underground storage tanks
o Design a mitigation system for the proposed building
• Southern site
o Excavate and dispose of contaminated soils off-site
o Backfill excavations with clean soil to accommodate the development
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 8a)
Title: PLACE St. Louis Park EAW Finding of Fact and Record of Decision Page 14
PLACE St. Louis Park 7 April 2017
o Design and install a vapor mitigation system for the proposed building
Asbestos containing materials (ACMs) and regulated building materials were identified during a pre-
demolition survey conducted in September 2016. The identified ACMs and regulated building materials
will be removed prior to building demolition in accordance to applicable state and federal laws.
Project-Related Generation/Storage of Solid Wastes
Solid waste is a common occurrence on construction projects.
During demolition:
• Waste generated will consist of wood, metal, brick, black, concrete, and other typical building
materials
• All hazardous and regulated materials will be removed before demolition commences.
• Materials will be segregated as best as possible into three categories: clean concrete/brick, scrap
metal, construction/demolition debris
o The clean concrete or brick will be crushed and re-used on site, or hauled to a recycling
facility for use on other projects
o The metal will be processed and delivered to a salvage yard for reuse
o The construction/demolition debris will be hauled to a licensed landfill for disposal.
• Material will be reused as appropriate according to MPCA guidance
• Excess material or material not meeting MPCA solid waste beneficial uses will be disposed of in
accordance with state and federal requirements
During operations:
• Solid waste generated may include paper, plastic, food, glass, tin, and wood
o Solid waste will be stored in appropriate containers and licensed commercial waste
haulers will be contracted to properly dispose of the solid wastes that cannot be recycled
o Recycling will be strongly encouraged, and implementation will be the responsibility of
the developer and/or the construction contractor
• Operation of the E-Generation facility will include temporary short term storage of food waste
from on-site sources in 60 gallon containers designed for such wastes
o The containers of food waste will be emptied into the digester system at an average rate
of about two containers per hour
o The digested food waste discharge from the anaerobic digester will be dewatered on site,
and the E-Generation facility will house storage space for dewatered digested food waste
solids.
o The dewatered digested food waste will be sold or given to organic farmers for soil
amendment.
o A small amount of these organic solids will be used on-site in the greenhouse
Project-Related Use/Storage of Hazardous Materials
Chemicals/hazardous materials anticipated to be present on-site during construction include petroleum
products such as gasoline and other engine fluids for maintaining construction equipment, and materials
used in construction including paints, adhesives, and other building products. No above or underground
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 8a)
Title: PLACE St. Louis Park EAW Finding of Fact and Record of Decision Page 15
PLACE St. Louis Park 8 April 2017
ground storage tanks are anticipated for use during or after the construction project. Any hazardous
materials used during construction will be stored in leak-proof containers and secured while not in use.
The contractor will be responsible for ensuring safe handling of any chemicals/hazardous materials during
the construction.
The only hazardous wastes expected to be used during commercial/household operations are universal
wastes and very small quantities of cleaning and maintenance products. All wastes will be disposed of
according to applicable law(s).
If a spill of chemical/hazardous materials should occur during or after the construction, the Minnesota
Duty Officer will be notified as necessary. Any contaminated spills or leaks that occur during
construction are the responsibility of the contractor and will be responded to according the MPCA
containment and remedial action procedures.
Project-Related Generation/Storage of Hazardous Wastes
No hazardous waste is anticipated to be generated on the project site during or after construction.
2.4.1.5 Fish, Wildlife, Plant Communities, and Sensitive Ecological Resources (Rare
Features)
The proposed project will not have a significant adverse effect on federally- or state-listed threatened and
endangered species.
Northern Long-Eared Bat
A small number of trees are present within the project site, which may be utilized by the northern long-
eared bat (NLEB). Under the Final 4(d) Rule of the Endangered Species Act, tree clearing is not
prohibited as there are no records of NLEB maternity roost trees or a hibernaculum within the project site
or a 0.25-mile buffer.
Mitigation strategies will include:
• Prior to tree clearing within the project site, the list of NLEB records for Minnesota from the
Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS)
must be consulted to ensure activities will not 1) result in removing a known occupied maternity
roost tree, 2) occur within 150 feet of a known occupied maternity roost tree from June 1 through
July 31, or 3) occur within 0.25 mile of a hibernaculum at any time
• If possible, tree clearing will occur outside of the NLEB pup season (June 1 – July 31) to
minimize impacts on the NLEB, if present
• If a known occupied maternity roost tree or hibernaculum is identified near the project site,
additional steps, including but not limited to field surveys, must be completed
Rusty Patched Bumble Bee
The rusty patched bumble bee (RPBB) may occur in the woodland present at the project site, and more of
this species may be drawn to the project site following the development of residential parks and gardens.
To minimize impacts to the RPBB:
• Native plants that are beneficial to pollinators will be used for landscaping, including areas such
as the urban forest, entrances, boulevards, property borders, parking islands, and infiltration zones
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 8a)
Title: PLACE St. Louis Park EAW Finding of Fact and Record of Decision Page 16
PLACE St. Louis Park 9 April 2017
• The use of herbicides within the project site will be minimized or eliminated during construction
and future maintenance activities, where possible
Migratory Birds
Construction activities in grassland, roadsides, shrubland, or tree habitats within the project site may
result in the taking of migratory birds, eggs, young and/or active nests, if present. Although the provisions
of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act are applicable throughout the entire year, most migratory bird nesting
activity in Minnesota occurs approximately from mid-March to August 15.
When possible, removal of vegetation will occur outside of the bird nesting window to minimize potential
take of migratory birds, if present. If vegetation clearing cannot be avoided during the peak breeding
season for migratory birds (approximately mid-March to August 15), a qualified biologist will conduct a
pre-construction breeding bird survey within the project site to determine the absence or presence of
breeding birds and their nests. Pre-construction breeding bird surveys will meet the following criteria:
• Pre-construction surveys will occur no more than two weeks before tree and shrub clearing
activities commence. The area surveyed will include the areas where potential suitable habitat has
been identified and tree or shrub clearing has not been completed.
• If an occupied nest is observed during the survey, tree and shrub clearing activities will not be
permitted within a 0.12-mile buffer of the nest site during the breeding season or until the
fledglings have left the area. The Proposer will consult with the USFWS to avoid take of the
species.
• Upon completion, the survey results will be submitted to the USFWS, as appropriate. If breeding
birds are not present, construction can proceed with no restrictions. If breeding birds or active
nests are present, additional consultation will be performed.
Invasive Species
Construction activities that involve soil disturbance can result in the introduction and spread of invasive
species. Native plants will be used for landscaping within the project site to prevent the introduction and
spread of invasive plants and noxious weeds.
2.4.1.6 Historic Properties
A rchaeological Resources
The project is not anticipated to affect any unlisted or unknown archaeological resources.
Architectural Resources
No direct impacts to architectural resources are anticipated, but two resources listed on the National
Register of Historic Places (NRHP) are located within the 0.5-mile area of potential effect (APE) for
indirect effects:
• The Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Depot (approximately 0.06-miles from the project
Site), now the home of the St. Louis Park Historical Society
• The Peavey Haglin Concrete Grain Elevator (approximately 0.4-miles from the project site)
Based on its review of the project information, the Minnesota Historic Preservation Office has concluded
there are no properties listed in the National or State Registers (including those listed above) in the area
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 8a)
Title: PLACE St. Louis Park EAW Finding of Fact and Record of Decision Page 17
PLACE St. Louis Park 10 April 2017
that will be affected by this project. Likewise, there are no known or suspected archaeological properties
in the area that will be affected by this project.
2.4.1.7 Visual
Generators used at the E-Generation facility will emit a vapor plume that may sometimes be visible
during cold weather if the moisture in the exhaust forms condensation. The methane used to fuel the 30
kW generator will undergo treatment to minimize the moisture content; however, some moisture will
remain in the methane and in the exhaust.
2.4.1.8 Air
Station Source Emissions
No stationary source emissions are anticipated as a result of the project’s commercial, retail, or hotel uses.
The 30 kW combined heat and power generator that will be used for the E-Generation facility will burn
methane produced from the anaerobic digestion of food waste from the on-site residences, hotel, and
commercial establishments. Exhaust from the methane burning generator will contain maximum
emissions of: 200 grams per hour (g/hr) of carbon monoxide (CO), 80 g/hr of nitrous oxides (NOx), and
40 g/hr of volatile organic carbons (VOCs). These emissions will be below MPCA permit thresholds.
Vehicle Emissions
MnDOT has developed a screening method designed to identify intersections that may cause a CO impact
above state standards. This method requires an intersection to be heavily congested (Level of Service
(LOS) F) and have a traffic volume of greater than 140,000 vehicles per day in order to be considered to
have the potential for causing CO air pollution problems. None of the intersections in the study area
exceed the criteria that will lead to a violation of the air quality standards. All intersection levels of
service are expected to be LOS D or better, meaning the corridor is moderately congested and the per
vehicle delay is acceptable.
Dust and Odors
The project’s E-Generation facility will include ventilation and odor control equipment to capture and
mitigate odors from the food waste and from the anaerobic digestion facility. Intensity of odors from food
waste is expected to be low as containers will have lids. Ventilation and odor control equipment will also
capture and mitigate odors from the dewatered organics. Intensity of odors from digested organics is
expected to be low as organics have been stabilized. Odor generation can occur throughout the day;
therefore, ventilation and odor control equipment will operate continuously.
2.4.1.9 Noise
The operation of the development will have minimal noise impacts to the surrounding area. However, the
proposed development will occur in an area where existing noise levels exceed state noise standards, so
the development will be exposed to that noise. Potential mitigation could include the use of windows that
do not open, arranging the property such that residential units face away from the TH 7, and/or a noise
wall. These mitigation measures are not considered reasonable because they will have limited
effectiveness at high cost, and because noise exceedances are not a result of the proposed development.

PLACE St. Louis Park 11 April 2017
2.4.1.10 Transportation
Traffic analysis was performed for baseline conditions and various development and traffic volume
scenarios at the 2020 and the 2040 horizons. Future congestion and queuing issues at existing
intersections will largely be addressed with the proposed connection from the south site to W 35th Street.
Increased trips resulting from development of the project site, all of which are served with the W 35th
Street connection option in place, do have an impact on the roadway network. However, the overall
intersection operations are still at a LOS D or better. There is queueing between intersections due to
capacity constraints and the close spacing of the four intersections along Wooddale Avenue.
Measures that will be taken to minimize or mitigate project-related transportation impacts include:
• Constructing the driveway connection to W 35th Street in order to serve the proposed
development demands without causing an undue burden to W 36th Street
o This connection to W 35th Street provides access to the traffic signal at W 36th Street and
Xenwood Avenue and provides development traffic with controlled access and greater
route choices
• Implementing all SWLRT Base Improvements as follows:
o Traffic signals at the TH 7 ramp terminal intersections on Wooddale Avenue
o Restripe Wooddale Avenue to a 4-lane section
o New signal system and gates for the freight and LRT crossings
o New grade-separated trail crossing for the Cedar Lake Regional Trail at Wooddale
Avenue
• Constructing a left-turn lane on southbound Wooddale Avenue to the Frontage Road
• Widening the Wooddale Avenue Bridge and reconfiguring the bridge corners to improve sight
distance
• Constructing right-in/right-out access to the south site at W 36th Street
• Constructing an eastbound left turn lane at Xenwood Avenue/W 36th Street (150-feet)
o Maintain the existing northbound, southbound, and westbound geometry
o The intersection geometry should be reviewed as part of any specific redevelopment plan
and/or street improvement
• Adding flashing yellow arrow signal heads for eastbound W 36th Street at Xenwood Avenue
• Identifying travel demand management strategies for the site including but not limited to reducing
the number of parking spaces allowed from current code requirements and providing secure
bicycle storage for residents and visitors
2.4.2 Cumulative Potential Effects of Related or Anticipated Future Projects
Cumulative effects result from the incremental impact of the proposed project when added to other past,
present, and reasonably foreseeable future actions, regardless of what agency or person undertakes such
other actions. Analysis of cumulative effects is summarized by issue area in the following sections.

2.4.2.1 Land Use
A development proposal for a six-story, mixed-use residential and commercial project called The
Elmwood was approved by the City of St. Louis Park City Council in March 2017. Because this project is
consistent with land uses anticipated in the Wooddale Avenue Station Area Plan and in the background
traffic growth forecasted for the area analyzed for the traffic analysis, no cumulative potential effects are
anticipated in relation to the proposed project.
2.4.2.2 Geology, Soils, and Topography/Land Forms
Cumulative potential effects are not anticipated.
2.4.2.3 Water Resources
Cumulative potential effects are not anticipated.
2.4.2.4 Contamination/Hazardous Materials/Wastes
Cumulative potential effects are not anticipated.
2.4.2.5 Fish, Wildlife, Plant Communities, and Sensitive Ecological Resources (Rare
Features)
Cumulative potential effects are not anticipated.
2.4.2.6 Historic Properties
Cumulative potential effects are not anticipated.
2.4.2.7 Visual
Cumulative potential effects are not anticipated.
2.4.2.8 Air
Cumulative potential effects are not anticipated.
2.4.2.9 Noise
Cumulative potential effects are not anticipated.
2.4.2.10 Transportation
Cumulative potential effects are not anticipated. Overall, the proposed development scenario with
identified transportation improvements shows minimal impact to the existing roadway network under
2020 traffic demand. PLACE will implement numerous travel demand management strategies to promote
use of the regional trail, bus stops, and future LRT station. The development will offer car sharing, bike
sharing, and a Car-Free Perks program.
2.4.3 Extent to which the Environmental Effects are Subject to Mitigation by
Ongoing Public Regulatory Authority
The mitigation of environmental impacts will be designed and implemented in coordination with
regulatory agencies and will be subject to the plan approval and permitting process. Permits and approvals
that have been obtained or may be required prior to project construction are shown in Table 1.

3. Conclusions
1. All requirements for environmental review of the proposed project have been met.
2. The EAW and the permit development processes related to the project have generated information
that is adequate to determine whether the project has the potential for significant environmental
effects.
3. Areas where potential environmental effects have been identified will be addressed during the final
design of the project. Mitigation will be provided where impacts are expected to result from project
construction, operation, or maintenance. Mitigation measures are incorporated into project design and
have been or will be coordinated with state and federal agencies during the permit process.
4. Based on the criteria in Minnesota Rules, part 4410.1700, the project does not have the potential for
significant environmental effects.
5. An Environmental Impact Statement is not required for the proposed project.

Minnesota Historic Preservation Office
Comment: Based on our review of the project information, we conclude that there are no properties listed
in the National or State Registers of Historic Places, and no known or suspected archaeological properties
in the area that will be affected by this project.
Please note that this comment letter does not address the requirements of Section 106 of the National
Historic Preservation Act of 1966 and 36 CFR § 800. If this project is considered for federal financial
assistance, or requires a federal permit or license, then review and consultation with our office will need
to be initiated by the lead federal agency. Be advised that comments and recommendations provided by
our office for this state-level review may differ from findings and determinations made by the federal
agency as part of review and consultation under Section 106.
Response: Thank you for your comment.
Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT)
Comment: The City of St Louis Park is going to deed over to MnDOT the Right-of-Way that the City
currently owns that is shown to the south of the east bound ramp to TH7.
Response: Comment noted.
Comment: Work within MnDOT right-of-way will require a permit and a plan set. Permit forms are
available from MnDOT’s utility website at http://www.dot.state.mn.us/utility/. Include one plan set
formatted to 11 x 17 size with each permit application.
Response: Comment noted. Requirements will be followed.
Comment: MnDOT’s comment letter from the Plat (MnDOT review # P17-012) are still in effect. The
letter has been attached for reference (P17-012 PLACE.pdf).
Response: The property line and building are setback 22 feet from the ramp curb, leaving 22 feet of
additional MnDOT right-of-way. The frontage road has been redesigned to allow on-street parking to
occur only on the south side of the road. No on-street parking is provided along the north side of the
frontage road until after the entrance into the E-Generation facility. The drawings have been updated to
include the reconfigured ¾ intersection at the frontage road. The landscape plan has been revised, and
there are no trees within the MnDOT right-of-way. A MnDOT Drainage Permit will be obtained prior to
construction, and a MnDOT Right-of-Way Permit will be obtained prior to any work within MnDOT
right-of-way.
Comment: MnDOT’s goal is to complete the review of plans within 30 days. Submittals sent in
electronically can usually be turned around faster. There are four submittal options. Please submit either:
1. One (1) electronic pdf. version of the plans. MnDOT can accept the plans via e-mail at
metrodevreviews.dot@state.mn.us provided that each separate e-mail is under 20 megabytes.
2. Three (3) sets of full size plans. Although submitting seven sets of full size plans will expedite the
review process. Plans can be sent to:

Minnehaha Creek Watershed District
Comment: The Applicant has noted that a previously existing wetland was filled on the project site
during the construction of the Wooddale Avenue Bridge. The MCWD had approved 0.15-acre of wetland
impact to a 0.25-acre Type-1 wetland under the Replacement Plan Notice of Decision (W09-03) issued on
September 28th, 2009. The hydrology to the remaining 0.1-acre of wetland was to be maintained as a
condition of the Decision. Since hydrology was not maintained, the City of St. Louis Park is required to
provide replacement for 0.1 acre of wetland impact at a 2:1 ratio per the conditions of the Decision.
Response: The City will be replacing the wetland impacts associated with the TH 7 project, specifically
the loss of this wetland. Due to the changes in grade associated with the TH 7 bridge project, the site no
longer has the hydrology to support a wetland.
Comment: This Project will require a MCWD Stormwater Management permit for a redevelopment
project resulting in an increase of impervious surface. The City of St. Louis Park regulates the District's
Erosion Control rule and will issue the Erosion Control permit.
Response: Thank you for your comment. The permit requirements will be met.
Comment: The Applicant notes the presence of a contaminated groundwater plume on-site and that
opportunities for infiltration are limited. As part of the Stormwater Management permit, abstraction
through filtration will be credited at 50 percent. Additionally, District will require that any Stormwater
filtration BMPs that are located in areas of known contamination must be protected with an impermeable
liner.
Response: Thank you for your comment. The permit requirements will be met. Stormwater BMPs within
the boundary of the groundwater contamination plume will minimize infiltration. Filtration BMPs that
will be used within the contamination plume boundary will be lined with an impermeable layer to
minimize the infiltration. Drain tile will be used to outlet the filtered stormwater to the storm sewer
system. Stormwater reuse will also be used within the groundwater contamination plume boundary. The
reuse system will collect runoff from rooftops to be used for irrigation, and the infiltration potential to the
groundwater is seen as minimal. Infiltration BMPs will be located outside of the groundwater
contamination plume in the northeast portion of the site. Impervious surfaces that will be routed to
infiltration BMPs primarily include rooftops.
Comment: Utilizing TP-40, the Applicant has estimated that the proposed run-off rates will meet the
City's rate control requirement. When preparing the MCWD Stormwater Management Application, the

Applicant should model the Existing and Proposed Atlas-14 1-, 10-, and 100- Year storm events in order
to demonstrate proposed rates will not increase from existing rates.
Response: Thank you for your comment. The permit requirements will be met. This area was included in
a regional stormwater treatment facility at Hoigaard Village. The proposed discharge rates will meet the
City's requirements at this location.
Comment: The Applicant proposes stormwater reuse as a Stormwater Management BMP. As stated in
previous correspondence, the Applicant should identify how and where the water will be used to show
that the BMP will drawdown within 48 hours.
Response: Comment noted. The requirement will be followed and documented with the MCWD permit
submittal.
Metropolitan Council
Comment: The project proposer needs to continue to coordinate their design with the Southwest Light
Rail Transit (SWLRT) Project to resolve pedestrian and access conflicts that exist with their current
design. Design coordination items include, but are limited to, pedestrian access, maintenance access,
vehicle access and parking, location and amount of lighting, location and amount of signage, additional
retaining walls, sidewalks, stairs, accessible ramps, and landscaping.
Once design coordination is complete, changes will likely need to be made to pedestrian access to the
Wooddale Station to accommodate the PLACE design. These changes will result in a Change Order to the
SWLRT project that are not in the project scope or budget and will need to be paid for by others.
Response: The design will continue to be coordinated to resolve conflicts and improve access and
function for the project and SWLRT. The design modifications will strive to be cost-neutral for the
SWLRT project.
Comment: The EAW indicates that additional land not needed for the project would be platted as outlots
and dedicated to adjacent properties, including to the Cedar Lake LRT Regional Trail corridor. Staff from
the City of St. Louis Park indicated that Outlot A would include a trail serving as a "onramp" from
Wooddale Avenue to provide access to the regional trail corridor. Please note that this "on-ramp" trail
would be considered a local trail, not part of the Cedar Lake LRT Regional Trail. Three Rivers Park
District does not own the property that the regional trail traverses, but has a lease agreement with the
Hennepin County Regional Rail Authority for use of the corridor. City staff indicated that the outlot may
be dedicated to the City of St. Louis Park, which would be appropriate for this local trail connection to the
regional trail corridor.
Council staff recommends that the City and developer coordinate fencing, landscaping, and access
between the development and the regional trail as well as any detours during project construction with
Three Rivers Park District.
Response: Thank you for your comment. The City and PLACE will coordinate with Three Rivers Park
District as requested.
Comment: Metropolitan Council Forcemain Interceptors (8041-A and 8041-B) are within the Highway 7
service road right-of way, which runs through the project location. The interceptors were built in 2011
and are 24-inch PVC pipes at depths of approximately 7 to 10 feet. There are specific processes that must
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 8a)
Title: PLACE St. Louis Park EAW Finding of Fact and Record of Decision Page 27
PLACE St. Louis Park 20 April 2017
be followed before encroachment on our property can be granted. Before an encroachment will be
allowed, an Encroachment Agreement will be required. To assess the potential impacts to our interceptor
system, prior to initiating this project, preliminary plans should be sent to Scott Dentz, Interceptor
Engineering Manager, (651-602-4503) at the MCES for review and comment.
Response: Thank you for your comment. Plans were sent to Scott Dentz on April 17, 2017.
Comment: A draft set of TAZ forecasts for 2040 has been prepared by Met Council and reviewed by the
City in 2016. The proposed development site is a very small part of TAZ #1400. The zone is
predominantly residential west of Wooddale and mostly commercial east of Wooddale. The zone is
currently forecasted to gain 620 households during 2014-2040. The additional housing expected from the
proposed development fits within that forecast. Please consult with Metropolitan Council staff if a TAZ
forecast adjustment is needed.
Response: Thank you for your comment.
Comment: The EAW refers to TP-40 modeled rainfall events, which were used to estimate storm water
runoff rates and volumes. TP-40 data have been superseded with new data. In June 2013, the National
Weather Service Hydrometeorological Design Studies Center released new precipitation frequency
estimates in the publication NOAA Atlas 14 Point Precipitation Frequency Estimates. Please refer to the
following online resources: www.dnr.state.mn.us/climate/noaa atlas 14.html
http://hdsc.nws.noaa.gov/hdsc/pfds/pfds map cunt.html?bkmrk=mn
In the Twin Cities metropolitan area, new precipitation estimates are generally higher for the average 50-
and 100-year recurrence 24-hour rainfall events. New estimates for the average 100-year recurrence
interval for the proposed project location is approximately 7.47". The project proposer should utilize this
new data in the calculation of runoff to ensure that on-site treatment and off-site stormwater conveyance
facilities have been properly sized to accommodate future runoff events.
Response: The Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD) and City of St. Louis Park requirements
for stormwater management will be met. The City of St. Louis Park has a higher standard for discharge
from proposed conditions than the MCWD and MPCA. These rates will be met in the regional stormwater
facility at Hoigaard Village.
Comment: Page 32 of the EAW recommends that the City of St. Louis Park or the developer construct a
left-turn lane on southbound Wooddale Ave to the Frontage Road. Page 5 of the Traffic Impact Study
states that the "City has recently requested that this access be modified to include a southbound left turn
lane onto the east leg of the Frontage Road, this is currently under consideration by SPO." Please note
that this improvement is not part of the SWLRT project scope or budget. The stated SWLRT
improvements are otherwise consistent with current plans.
Response: Thank you for your comment. It is noted.
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA)
Comment: Please note that an MPCA Solid Waste Permit may be needed for the anaerobic digester. For
additional information, please contact Mike Mondloch at 651-757-2578.
Response: Thank you for your comment.

Title: PLACE St. Louis Park EAW Finding of Fact and Record of Decision Page 28
PLACE St. Louis Park 21 April 2017
Comment: The EAW refers to a net 32,680 cubic yards of excavated excess soil material that will be
removed from the property and used as fill on "other active construction sites in the area." Please note that
this activity is regulated by the MPCA because of the historic contamination present on the site. The
MPCA has extensive guidance available on the reuse of fill material off-site. Please see the MPCA web
page https://www.pca.state.mn.us/waste/cleanup-guidance ("Offsite reuse of fill materials" button) for
further information on the requirements for reuse of fill material from the PLACE development.
Response: Applicable MPCA requirements will be followed for the regulated materials.
Comment: There are three monitoring wells located on the south property. These wells are owned by the
MPCA and are part of the groundwater investigations for the Reilly Tar Superfund Site and the St. Louis
Park Solvent Plume Superfund Site (the wells are: W38 - UN00216060, Wl17 - UN00160031, W101 -
UN00149711). These wells are located in front of the former Nash Frame building located at 3565
Wooddale Avenue South in a landscaped area in the middle of the parking lot. Each of the three wells
monitors a different aquifer and are critical to these State and Federal Superfund sites and will be required
to either be protected during construction or sealed and replaced in a more accessible location after
completion of the development.
In addition, the County Well Index locates another well (UN 00462932) near the northeast portion of the
property or on the adjacent property (northeast corner of 5802 36th Street West) where the properties
intersect with the Yosemite Avenue South right-of-way. The actual location of the well is approximately
900 feet west of the PLACE redevelopment site. This well should not be an issue for the redevelopment.
Response: Thank you for the comments. The proposer and city are aware of the monitoring wells and
will coordinate with MPCA. The wells will either be protected and accommodated to maintain
accessibility by the development plans, or they will be sealed and replaced in a more accessible location.
Comment: Please be aware that stormwater runoff in this area has been shown to contain the chemicals
perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) at widely variable
concentrations. These chemicals are highly mobile in the environment and care should be taken to
minimize the infiltration of contaminated storm water into the subsurface.
Best management practices (BMPs) generally do not recommend construction of stormwater infiltration
features in areas of waste and/or soil or groundwater contamination. Infiltration of stormwater into the
subsurface could contribute to the groundwater contamination plumes associated with several sites in this
area. Be advised that stormwater features are regulated by the Stormwater Management Program at
MPCA and not by the Remediation Programs. Segments of the process may be regulated in both
programs if there is waste or contaminated media present.
Response: Stormwater BMPs within the boundary of the groundwater contamination plume will
minimize infiltration. Filtration BMPs that will be used within the contamination plume boundary will be
lined with an impermeable layer to minimize the infiltration. Drain tile will be used to outlet the filtered
stormwater to the storm sewer system. Stormwater reuse will also be used within the groundwater
contamination plume boundary. The reuse system will collect runoff from rooftops to be used for
irrigation, and the infiltration potential to the groundwater is seen as minimal. Infiltration BMPs will be
located outside of the groundwater contamination plume in the northeast portion of the site. Impervious
surfaces that will be routed to infiltration BMPs primarily include rooftops.
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 8a)
Title: PLACE St. Louis Park EAW Finding of Fact and Record of Decision Page 29
PLACE St. Louis Park 22 April 2017
Comment: The PLACE redevelopment site is located within the St. Louis Park Groundwater Plume
Superfund Site. In addition, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) St. Louis Park Vapor
Intrusion Site/MPCA Highway 7 and Wooddale Avenue Vapor Intrusion Study, EPA Reilly Tar &
Chemical Superfund Site, Curwood Minnesota/Alcan Packaging, the Douglas Corporation Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Corrective Action Site, and several other sites are located
nearby. Widespread groundwater contamination beneath the property is a concern. Contaminants known
to be present in groundwater at or nearby the PLACE development properties include trichloroethene
(TCE), tetrachloroethene (PCE), PFOA, PFOS, cis-1,2-dichloroethene (c-1,2-DCE), vinyl chloride (VC),
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), hexavalent chromium, lead, arsenic, petroleum hydrocarbons,
and other chemicals. The presence of groundwater contaminants can lead to increased potential for soil
vapor intrusion.
The EAW refers to the Response Action Plan (RAP) that was developed for the site in September 2016.
Neither the EAW nor the RAP discussions address the potential for the presence of PFOA and PFOS
compounds. Similarly, neither the RAP nor the EAW are specific regarding the need for subsurface vapor
intrusion mitigation. Vapor intrusion mitigation will be necessary for each building constructed. Plans for
removal of contaminated soil will not address groundwater contamination and the potential for soil vapor
intrusion. Because of this, MPCA recommends that each building constructed incorporate sub-slab
depressurization into the design and construction of the buildings. Active sub-slab depressurization may
be necessary in the residential buildings. Upon completion of construction, the developer will be required
to demonstrate that the mitigation systems installed provide the necessary level of protection. The design
and implementation of any vapor intrusion mitigation system should comply with MPCA BMPs for vapor
intrusion mitigation and EPA design criteria for vapor and radon mitigation systems.
Response: Active soil vapor intrusion mitigation measures will be designed to comply with MPCA
BMPs and installed in all of the proposed buildings.
Comment: Subsurface investigation results cited in the EAW indicate the presence of contamination in
soil samples that exceed regulatory criteria. Contaminants detected include TCE, PCE, c-1,2-DCE, VC,
PAHs, hexavalent chromium, lead, arsenic, cadmium, petroleum hydrocarbons, and other chemicals.
These contaminants were detected in soil, groundwater, and/or soil gas. In addition, PFOA and PFOS
have been detected in the soil, groundwater, and stormwater from nearby sites including the Douglas
Corporation RCRA Corrective Action site.
The determination of the extent and magnitude of contamination across both properties is incomplete. In
addition, some contamination issues (PFOA and PFOS) have not been addressed. The properties lie
within the groundwater plume areas for two Superfund sites and lie adjacent to or nearby several other
cleanup sites. It is imperative that the proposer be aware of this and be prepared for unanticipated
contamination issues.
Response: Active soil vapor intrusion mitigation measures will be designed to comply with MPCA
BMPs and installed in all the proposed buildings. A Supplemental Investigation is currently underway to
further delineate shallow soil contamination and to collect additional soil gas and groundwater samples as
specified by the MPCA and as detailed in the MPCA-approved Response Action Plan (RAP). This
Supplemental Investigation includes approximately 20 soil probes to 12 feet below ground surface (bgs),
17 borings to 8 feet bgs to collect soil gas samples, and 3 borings to approximately 30 feet bgs for
temporary groundwater monitoring wells.

Comment: Observations regarding the presence of hazardous substances within the existing buildings
have been made. Prior to demolition, hazardous substances will need to be removed. These may include
asbestos containing building materials, light ballasts, treated wood products, lead paint, lead pipes, and so
on. Assessment and removal of these substances is regulated under the solid waste programs at MPCA.
Additional information can be found at: https://www.pca.state.mn.us/waste/construction-and-demolition-

Response: Removal of asbestos and other regulated materials will be completed per MPCA regulations.
Steve May
Comment: They mention soil amendments. Can they give some scientific documentation on the value of
those soil amendments? That seems to be a nice term to use but what are the benefits?
Response: The soil amendments referred to are for structural purposes to reduce frost susceptibility and
provide for improved soil bearing capacities for footings and foundations. These amendments are not for
horticultural purposes. The amendments will replace soils with poor bearing capacity with more
appropriate soils such as sand and gravel.
Comment: Maybe I missed it but could we get more details on the fees that the developer is going to
charge. I am concerned that the developer is saying that this is intended to be a “green project” while the
only green is going into his pocket. That is ok but when they need to use TIF financing to accomplish this
that isn’t right. Let’s get a real public / private partnership where all the money is going to the cause or
let’s say that we are helping a developer with the financing.
Response: PLACE is reinvesting over 80 percent of the developer fee into the project, and this 80 percent
will only be received by the developer subject to the project meeting net cash flow requirements,
including TIF financing components. Ehlers was retained by the City as a third-party consultant to review
the project financials.
Comment: What are the costs/fines if the project doesn’t meet certain objectives? It sounds good to say
that a bike shop will be in the development. Do we need another bike shop? Do we know that Fairfield
wants to have a hotel there?
Response: The Developer Agreement will address project requirements/objectives and the consequences
if requirements are not met. The project proposer has discussed the project with Marriott (Fairfield), and
they have expressed strong interest, as has the operator, Aimbridge Hospitality. Contract discussions are
underway with these entities. The proposed bike shop will be focused on repair and rentals.

Comment: Can you refer me to the website of the manufacturer of the anaerobic digester?
Response: See the anaerobic digester supplemental information on page 48. The anaerobic digester
manufacturer is SEab Energy (http://seabenergy.com/about-seab/).
Comment: Direct me to the technical info on the "patent pending" process that PLACE calls E-
Generation which combines anaerobic digester, solar, wind, etc.
Response: E-Generation is a patent-pending system (U.S. Patent Office No. 14/215,369) for optimizing
renewable energy inputs. PLACE chooses complementary renewable technologies for each location, and
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 8a)
Title: PLACE St. Louis Park EAW Finding of Fact and Record of Decision Page 31
PLACE St. Louis Park 24 April 2017
then optimizes the generation of energy to meet its environmental sustainability goals and provide
residents with lower-cost energy. In this development, E-Generation optimizes wind, solar, anaerobic
digestion of food scraps, and production of food. The development remains grid-connected for
redundancy and supplementation.
Each technology connected through E-Generation has been deployed, proven, and permitted elsewhere by
PLACE’s technology providers for stand-alone energy generation or food production. The right-sizing,
energy-balancing, and connecting infrastructure among these solutions, including noise and odor
prevention, is engineered and customized by PLACE.
In the current General Industrial zoning of this property, an anaerobic digester could be allowed to
process up to 30,000 tons of organic waste each year. The proposed regulations for this development
would allow a maximum of only 3,000 tons of material per year. The facility designed for this
development is of a much smaller scale and will initially be capable of processing less than 1,000 tons per
year of organic waste, food scraps, spent or spoiled grain, and vegetation from the greenhouse and
grounds maintenance. Waste will come from the café, coffee house, hotel, any catering that occurs on
site, and the residences. E-Generation might also accept post-brewing grain from small local sources to
preserve the nutrients and energy from being wasted or from being trucked out of town at a greater carbon
cost to the public.
Use of E-generation at this project is not effected in any way by the status of the pending patent.

Comment: 18.A.1 (page 29): Proposed parking includes 447 parking spaces: 216 on the north, and 231
on the south.
PLACE is requesting approval with just 447 parking spaces rather than the 688 that would normally be
required for a project of this scope per SLP City Code. This represents a total reduction of 35%. The
reduction is based primarily on PLACE's Mobility/Car-Free Living Plan, but also includes reductions for
shared parking and its location as a transit oriented development.
Questions:
• What are the consequences to parking capacity on the site if PLACE is unable to attain the car-
free goal(s) used in the parking calculations?
• What is the plan if PLACE is unable to implement/maintain the mitigations that are the basis for
the reduction in on-site parking requirements requested in its Final PUD submission?
• Why is PLACE getting a reduction for shared parking when the parking study by Walker Parking
Consultants indicates that the peak parking for all uses occurs at the same hours, which by SLP
code disqualifies the project for that reduction?
• Who will be responsible for monitoring PLACE’s implementation and maintenance of the
mitigations in its mobility plan?
• If the SWLRT is not built, will PLACE lose that portion of its parking reduction? Where will
those cars park?
Response: If PLACE is unable to attain the car-free goal(s), they may be required to construct additional
parking or lease parking spaces off-site where surplus parking is available. The City required PLACE to
submit proof of parking, demonstrating how and where additional parking can be added to the site. This
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 8a)
Title: PLACE St. Louis Park EAW Finding of Fact and Record of Decision Page 32
PLACE St. Louis Park 25 April 2017
includes a parking ramp located near the E-Generation facility, the installation of compact parking spaces,
and leased spaces from nearby parking lots.
The peak parking for the development is at 10 p.m., a time when the coffee shop, cafe, Makers Space, co-
working space, and bike shop will either be closed or will have limited service. This allows for a parking
reduction due to shared parking. Additionally, PLACE will collaborate with the hotel operator and
commercial enterprises to hire employees from within the residential component of the development,
lessening the need for additional employee parking spaces.
PLACE will be required to report the mobility/travel demand management (TDM) plan annually to the
City for review as per the Planning Development Contract. If issues arise, PLACE will be required to
revise their mobility/TDM plan or construct additional parking to alleviate any parking issues.
The parking reductions for PLACE are based upon car-free living and shared parking, not on transit. The
City does offer a 10 percent reduction for commercial units when adjacent to an area served by bus
transit, but those reductions were not applied to the PLACE development. Regardless of SWLRT,
PLACE will be required to manage parking onsite. If SWLRT is not approved and parking is an issue, the
developer will be required to add additional mobility measures and/or construct additional parking onsite.
Comment: (Page 32): Those who choose to be car-free and receive the benefits must agree as part of
their lease that they will remain car-free.
Questions:
• How will this be enforced and what would the penalty be?
• What would prevent a resident who initially has no car, and then has a legitimate need for one,
from maintaining their perks by parking off-site on city streets?
Response: PLACE will be required to manage the parking provided onsite and will be required as part of
the Planning Development Contract to submit a parking management plan to the City. If there are parking
issues, the City will ensure compliance with the parking management plan. If the parking management
plan does not meet the City's expectations, the plan will be revised and/or additional parking will be
constructed. PLACE believes the car-free perks package will be highly sought and will make sure that
anyone enrolled in that program will not have ownership of a car. If there are cars parking on city streets,
the City will treat this issue similar to other areas where people are parking on-street and will further
manage parking in the area based on the issues observed. Additionally, the City anticipates implementing
controls on public parking surrounding the station area independent of the PLACE development to limit
nuisance park-and-ride parking in neighborhoods.
Comment: (Page 32) The Proposer will provide a car-free perks package to 90 households on a first-
come, first-served basis.
Question: Why on a first-come first-served basis, are there not enough for 90 households? Or do they
expect more than 90 households to want car-free perks?
Response: PLACE anticipates more than 90 households will be interested in the car-free living perks
package. One of the attractions of the PLACE development is that the construction, design, and location
make living car-free more accessible, and PLACE believes there will be a wait list of people interested in
the car-free living perks package.

Comment: The St. Louis Park Planning Commission recently approved The Place Project. The Place
Project will be located close to the Spanish Immersion School at Hwy 7 and Wooddale at the old
McGarvey Coffee site.
The Place Project will include an anaerobic digester, residential housing, a hotel, and freight rail
(including oil) all in the same place. There is the potential for unprecedented problems.
Response: Thank you for your comment. Please note that the planning commission has an advisory role
and makes recommendations to city council. The city council makes the final decision.
Comment: Is the garbage digester technology legitimate? The patent pending for the project (Life to
Waste to Energy Complex) has been rejected by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Communities have had trouble with the digesters. Can we believe that the digester will be order free and
safe?
Response: See the anaerobic digester supplemental information on page 48.
Comment: Where are the reputable CPA projections and independent professional engineering
evaluations for the project? The project cost is estimated at $123,000,00 with the estimated market value
at completion at $62,000,000. How can this be a good deal?
Response: The project proposer hired Novagradac and the City retained Ehlers for financial analyses.
Many projects built for public benefit have a similar economic profile.
Comment: Is the developer capable? Negative history in Ventura California. Is the developer a CPA or
an engineer? Does the developer have skin in the game? Deferred developers fees are soft money and
should be viewed with skepticism. Where are the reputable CPA projections and independent professional
engineering evaluations for the project?
Response: The PLACE team has stated they have experience in the creation of other similar projects for
public benefit, none of which have ever been in default or foreclosure. The members of the limited
liability company that was formed to complete this project in St. Louis Park have contributed a
combination of cash and in-kind equity to the project financing. The project consultant team includes
CPAs and engineers. The PLACE Board of Directors and Advisory Board include other developers,
architects, real estate professionals, academics, and executives from substantial corporations and the
finance industry. The City’s and Economic Development Authority’s fiscal consultants’ analyses of the
proposed project found it to be consistent with industry standards. The City’s engineering staff and
independent engineering consultants have reviewed the project. The fiscal consultants’ analyses of the
proposed project on behalf of the proposer and the city found it to be consistent with industry standards.
Comment: Given the risks involved, with the PLACE project, should the City of St. Louis Park protect
the City, the citizens, and the investors with a mitigation plan for when things go wrong? Here are
suggestions for mitigating foreseen and unnecessary losses:
1. Provide by agreement with the developer that the garbage digester will be removed promptly if the
digester produces unpleasant smells or is unsafe. The cost of digester removal should come first from the
deferred developer fees (not real $ anyway - soft $) with the rest to come from a city contingency fund.
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 8a)
Title: PLACE St. Louis Park EAW Finding of Fact and Record of Decision Page 34
PLACE St. Louis Park 27 April 2017
2. Create a plan to build a parking ramp to handle parking space shortages when parking space becomes a
problem at The PLACE. The parking ramp will be paid for from a city contingency fund.
3. Create a workout lending process to deal with the anticipated developer cash flow problems. The
workout process should include the possibility of having to buy out the first mortgage on the property,
assuming that the city takes a second mortgage position. The cash flow problems and potential mortgage
buyout and foreclosure should be funded from a city contingency fund. The agreement with the developer
should insure that the developer does not profit if the property is foreclosed.
4. When one of the above items occur, begin a due diligence workout process which includes large firm
legal advice, large firm CPA advice, and large firm engineering advice. The due diligence workout should
be funded from a city contingency fund.
5. Create a basis for a City of St. Louis Park tax to fund the city contingency fund. The proposed city tax
increase should be put on a 6 month review basis to provide additional taxes as needed as The PLACE
problems occur.
I would encourage additional mitigation suggestions. I request that the above mitigation plan be made part
of the record.
Response: Thank you for your comments. The anaerobic digester may only operate if it is in compliance
with state and local regulations and the terms of the redevelopment agreement, purchase agreement, and
planning development contract. Any cost associated with the shut down or removal of the digester will be
the responsibility of the owner and operator.
Plans for the expansion of parking, if needed, is a requirement of the planned unit development approval
through a proof of parking plan. The cost of implementing the proof of parking plan is the responsibility
of the developer/owner. Resolution of any project cash flow issues is not the City’s or Economic
Development Authority’s responsibility under the purchase and redevelopment agreement. It is solely the
responsibility of the developer/owner and their lenders. Any delinquency on a mortgage is also an event
of default on the purchase and redevelopment agreement. The City/Economic Development Authority is
not responsible for the financial success or failure of the PLACE project.
Comment: The Place Project assumes that SW Light Rail will happen at the Place project site. SWLRT is
not a done deal. If SWLRT happens, it could be many years away. We should wait and see what happens
with the SWLRT.
Response: Thank you for your comment.
Comment: The present traffic problems at The Place project site are already severe. No further
development at this site should be approved until the present traffic problems are resolved in a
satisfactory manner. It is simply unrealistic to plan to add apartments and a hotel and to encourage
residents not to drive. The Place Project will bring more traffic.
Response: The traffic impact study indicates an acceptable level of service on 36th Street and Wooddale
Avenue.
Comment: Building apartments and a hotel next to a freight rail route is unsafe and would result in
unacceptable noise levels for all residents.

Response: The separation between the residential buildings and the freight rail line is comparable to the
separation for other similar buildings in the project area. Triple-paned glazing or dual-paned glazing with
acoustical applications will be evaluated for the windows, as will other acoustical enhancements to the
HVAC systems. It is anticipated that the tighter building envelope required to meet the energy efficiency
goals of the project will also likely result in less sound transmission into the residential units.
Comment: The entire The Place project is based on economic speculation. The project depends on artists'
lofts, experimental energy sources, people who do not drive, the SWLRT, etc.
Response: The project proposed has completed due diligence regarding the location and timing and has
supporting market feasibility studies.
Jackie and Jim Doyle
Comment: As a resident of the Elmwood neighborhood, we wanted to provide some feedback on the
PLACE proposed development near 36th and Wooddale. We are concerned about the assumptions in the
PLACE proposal that are related to the SWLRT project. If the light rail does not come to fruition, we are
very concerned about the disruption to traffic flow in the area of 36th and Wooddale. I’m sure you
already know that intersection gets very congested during peak traffic times. Of course, we are also
concerned about what that congestion will do to our residential neighborhood. Paragraph 18C of the EAW
is an example of an assumption associated with the SWLRT project that is for mitigating adverse traffic
impact by moving a driveway but primarily relying on the changes associated with the SWLRT project
and other SLP capital projects that may or may not happen (see excerpt below). Another example is the
assumption in the Walker Parking Consultant report related to factors incenting lower car dependency
(see second excerpt below). There are several incentives cited, but I have to believe that the light rail is
more significant than a hotel shuttle, car share, bike share or “temporary” residential shuttle they plan
until the light rail is operational. That brings up another question regarding the residential shuttle and the
viability of that as a permanent option if the SWLRT project is significantly delayed or cancelled. It
seems it might be prudent to delay the approval of this project until the future of the SWLRT, which is a
significant factor in the proposal, is known.
Response: The Metropolitan Council’s regional transportation plan and the City’s comprehensive plan
have identified light rail in the corridor for over 10 years. This has resulted in significant planning and
investment along the corridor.
The traffic impact study did not include the mobility plan elements into its conservative modeling of
traffic generation. The mobility measures, especially the car-free units, have the potential to reduce the
trips from the site similarly to the reduction of trips that the traffic study assumed with the presence of
Southwest Light Rail.
If Southwest Light Rail is delayed, additional traffic analysis will need to be completed to better
understand the impacts associated with this development and to identify mitigation measures. The City
could program some of the improvements that the traffic impact study assumed would occur with
Southwest Light Rail.

Comment: I am concerned about the anaerobic garbage digester being planned as part of the PLACE
project to be located at Highway 7 and Wooddale. I am a SLP homeowner and live about 4 blocks away
from the proposed site. I have loved living in the Park for the past 38 years.
Most digesters appear to be safe, but things can go wrong (faulty or aging equipment, operator error,
equipment sparks, lightening, welding, repair or cleaning people being overcome by gas fumes, for
example). If the garbage supply is not carefully and safely transported from point of collection until being
fed into the garbage digester, there can be problems with odor, vermin, flies.
News stories about garbage digester accidents report that residents were told by developers/owners that
the digester was safe, and forward looking, but were irate when the garbage digester failed and stink filled
their air. As I understand it, the gases that can cause issues are methane, ammonia, hydrogen sulfide.
Most garbage digester installations appear to be in farm, rural, or industrial locations, not in high density
residential areas. The PLACE project is planning a high density residential community – low income
housing, artists lofts, a hotel – very close to the garbage digester location. Senior housing and a child care
facility are also nearby.
Response: See the anaerobic digester supplemental information on page 48.
Comment: The EAW does not give adequate information about the garbage digester planned for
Wooddale/Hwy7.
When was the digester invented / patented?
How long has it been in use?
Who produces/manufactures it?
How is it constructed?
What does it look like visually?
Who is responsible for the installation/contractor?
How many of this type digester are currently in use?
What is its safety record?
Are other garbage digesters similar to this one located in high density residential communities?
What do residents living near it say about its performance?
What safety procedures will be in place?
How does the garbage get collected, stored, and transferred to the digester?
Who will train the residents and staff as to what can and cannot be sent to the digester (garbage rules)?
Who is responsible for enforcing garbage rules compliance?
What plans are there for the digester operators safety training?
How will air quality be measured and what steps will be taken if there are issues?
How is water quality monitored (part of the garbage dewatering process)?
How is the exhaust from the “vapor plume” monitored and who is responsible for doing this?
Will monitored safety level information be available to the public?
Will the fire department be trained to deal with a fire or explosion, if it should occur?
Will the Council be employing an independent professional engineering consultant to evaluate the
viability of the digester project or do you rely on City Hall engineering staff?

Title: PLACE St. Louis Park EAW Finding of Fact and Record of Decision Page 37
PLACE St. Louis Park 30 April 2017
With regard to the "vision" aspect of the garbage digester, I have the following additional questions:
Who owns our neighborhood garbage? The city? Or does the hauler obtain rights through a contract?
Can citizens opt out of municipal garbage collection and make separate arrangements for garbage
removal? Do citizens have garbage privacy rights?
If the garbage digester at Wooddale needs additional garbage from SLP residents in order to provide
energy for PLACE project residents only (energy is not sent to the grid), will the owner of the SLP
garbage agree to sell (or give?) local garbage to the digester operators? Does this require a contract?
Something like this may happen in Texas: http://www.beaumontenterprise.com/news/article/Beaumont-
could-make-400K-annually-selling-your-5684399.php
Can residents wanting fertilizer have free access to the digestate/fertilizer produced by this project?
Who would be responsible for ensuring that only appropriate garbage would be sold to digester operators
(no batteries, glass, plastic, metal, animal waste and such)? What kind of sorting, investigating, x-ray,
electromagnetic processing is needed? Do residents bear any liability for garbage sorting mistakes?
If we expand the Wooddale garbage digester project to include garbage from SLP residents living outside
the PLACE project, will the increased traffic in the area from numerous garbage trucks be a problem? Is
there adequate space for parking waiting garbage trucks.
If the garbage digester at Wooddale is successful, is it part of the city vision to install a garbage digester
in each neighborhood or ward in St Louis Park? Would this be safe, economically feasible, able to be
scaled to match existing garbage levels, visually attractive, acceptable to residents?
Thank you for carefully considering safety and other issues that affect the community that we all love.
Response: See the anaerobic digester supplemental information on page 48 for more information.
The organics recycling material is owned by the property owner until it is collected. At the time of
collection the hauler takes ownership. By contract, the City has the right to determine where the hauler
takes the material to be processed.
Citizens can opt out of City organized collection, if they provide annual verification of the
disposal/processing location to ensure the material is being properly disposed of. Residents are not
allowed to hire another contractor to collect in the city.
The City’s organics material contains compostable paper and plastics and is collected with grass
clippings, leaves, and brush; therefore, the City informed PLACE that our material is not conducive to be
processed in the proposed anaerobic digester.
Comment: I am concerned about transit opportunities for tenants of the apartments, for hotel guests, for
visitors, and for employees at the proposed PLACE project. This project is designed to encourage public
transportation and to discourage car use.
The following information is from the PLACE EAW p. 30: The site is served by Metro Transit bus routes
615 and 17. Route 17 picks up passengers on W. 36th Street and provides regular route service to
downtown Minneapolis. Route 615 also stops on W. 36th Street and provides hourly service between
Minnetonka, Hopkins and St. Louis Park.
I am a homeowner and have lived near the PLACE project site for over 30 years. I believe in using public
transportation and have been a bus rider during the entire time I have lived here.
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 8a)
Title: PLACE St. Louis Park EAW Finding of Fact and Record of Decision Page 38
PLACE St. Louis Park 31 April 2017
Bus service at the PLACE site is not good. The Route 17 has very limited service at W 36th street. Except
for a few trips to this area, nearly all regular 17 bus trips go down Minnetonka Blvd in this area of SLP
and not W 36th Street.
Buses on this special W 36th Street 17 route to downtown stop here at 6:57am, 7:18am, 7:55am and
3:04pm weekdays. Weekdays only. That is it. No weekend service. If you want to use the bus towards
downtown at other times during the day or anytime at night, or on weekends, you will need to find
another route, the regular 17 bus route which runs down Minnetonka Blvd or the 12 route which runs
down Excelsior Blvd. Both of these choices involve a substantial hike to the nearest bus stop. Older
people, people with disabilities, or people with children may find this hike difficult, especially in the rain,
snow, cold, or summer heat.
You can use the other bus choice, the Route 615, to transfer to the route 12 or 17 buses during some parts
of the day. Route 615 does not go downtown. It runs across town from Excelsior Blvd to Ridgedale.
Smaller shuttle style buses run on this route.
Eastbound 615 buses stop on 36th Street near the PLACE development site eastbound once an hour from
7:38am to 7:38pm and westbound once an hour from 7:56am to 6:56 pm. Slightly less hourly service is
available on Saturday and there is no service on Sunday.
Because these 615 shuttle buses run only once and hour and do not run at night or on Sunday, they do not
provide the kind of transport option most people would choose. The scheduled service does not provide
the flexibility people need, and it is time consuming to take these buses.
Bus service to, for example, the University East Bank on Friday at 9:30 am would take an hour and 13
minutes and would involve taking the 615, transfer to the 12x, transfer to the 6, then transfer to the 2C
(this is the route recommended by the Metro Transit Trip Planner). What could go wrong with that?
If light rail is available eventually at this site, transit opportunities for people living and working at the
PLACE development site would improve. Without the light rail, most people living at, working at, or
visiting this site would want to have a car in order to have the kind of travel flexibility everyone needs.
I read about plans for car/bike sharing at this site, but that would have to involve many vehicles/bicycles
and need to be carefully scheduled in order to adequately meet the needs of all the tenants, employees,
and hotel guests.
If we go ahead with the PLACE development without light rail, the city needs to work with Metro Transit
to get better bus service at this bus stop. Otherwise, the project developers need to plan for more tenant,
visitor, employee and hotel guest parking at this site. We may have a vision of a car free future, but at this
point, people have to deal with their transit realities.
Response: Thank you for your comment. The City and PLACE recognize public transit includes
limitations regarding service and routes. LRT is expected to greatly improve transit to the area. The
PLACE Mobility Plan includes a number of measures to help residents navigate the existing transit
system, as well as other options such as car share and shuttle to help access transit or other destinations.
Comment: I think residents need more time to consider the environmental worksheet for the PLACE
project. The comment deadline comes just after our holy weeks for Passover and Easter. People have a lot
of other things on their minds this week and may not have the time to give careful consideration to the
PLACE EAW. Please give us some additional time to study the issues and make informed responses.

Response: The EAW was available March 6th, with the comment period originally scheduled to end April
5th. It was extended two weeks to end on April 19th.
Daniel Kriete on behalf of the Sorenson Neighborhood Steering
Committee
Comment: Per section 13b of the PLACE EAW, "The Rusty Patch Bumble Bee is known to inhabit
prairies, grasslands, wetlands, woodlands, agricultural areas, and residential parks and gardens. It is active
from April to September, and needs a constant source of floral resources throughout that time period.
Although woodland and maintained grassland is present, due to the lack of prairies, wetlands, residential
parks and gardens, it is unlikely the project site contains suitable habitat for the RPBB."
However, according to Fish and Wildlife Service website, which was referenced in the EAW, the
development sight falls within .56 miles of a "high potential zone" (red polygons on map) for the RPBB
and within a "low potential zone." (yellow polygons) Please see maps below. For high potential zones
Section 7(a)(2) of the Endangered Species Act, requires federal agencies to consult with the FWS to
ensure that their actions do not jeopardize a species' continued existence. The FWS recommends scientific
recovery permits and nonlethal surveys in the low potential zones.
Under step 1 of Section 7(a)(2) of the Endangered Species Act: Due to the species' restricted distribution
(see maps), agencies should first determine whether an action (i.e. development) area overlaps with
locations where the species is likely to be present - high potential zones. The action area is not only the
immediate area involved in the action, but includes all areas to be affected directly or indirectly by the
Federal action (50 CFR § 402.02). The action area is not always limited to the "footprint" of the action,
but encompasses the biotic, chemical, and physical impacts to the environment resulting directly or
indirectly from the action.
The PLACE development will most likely have biotic, chemical, and physical impacts to the high
potential zone.
Response: The Rusty Patched Bumble Bee (RPBB) is a federally listed species. No federal action is
required for this development, and there is no requirement to consult with US Fish and Wildlife Service
or complete a survey.
Since the project is 0.56 miles outside of the high potential zone, USFWS consultation is not required.
USFWS recommends surveys within the low potential zones; however, it is not required by the
agency. USFWS recommends surveys in the low potential zone so they can collect additional data which
will further refine the distribution model. Considering the existing vegetation and the prime habitat
identified by USFWS for the species, this site is does not contain suitable habitat for the species.
Comment: There is no evidence in the EAW that a survey was conducted in the area. There was no
reference to how the process of development could adversely affect this highly endangered species. In
section 13c of the EAW Stantec writes: The RPBB may occur in the woodland present at the project site,
and more of this species may be drawn to the project site following the development of residential parks
and gardens. To minimize impacts to the RPBB, native plants which are beneficial to pollinators will be
used for landscaping, including areas such as the urban forest, entrances, boulevards, property borders,
parking islands, and infiltration zones. In addition, the use of herbicides within the project site will be
minimized or eliminated during construction and future maintenance activities, where possible.

Title: PLACE St. Louis Park EAW Finding of Fact and Record of Decision Page 40
PLACE St. Louis Park 33 April 2017
Planting a few beneficial pollinators after destroying multiple acres of potential zones will not minimize
nor negate the impacts to the RPBB.
My question is: As the initial financing of the development and the financial sustainability of this project
is dependent on various federal and state funding sources, and federal agencies are required to consult
with the FWS before taking an action that may jeopardize a species' continued existence, why hasn't a
survey been conducted?
Response: This project does not involve a federal action, and no survey or consultation is required.
Comment: It has been indicated in the PUD application that there may be a Helical-type Wind Energy
Conversion System associated with the E-Gen facility:
What danger does this present to birds, waterfowl and bats?
What danger do birds, waterfowl and bats present to the WECS?
Response: The proposed wind turbine is a Windside WS-4B vertical turbine (www.windside.com).
According to the manufacturer's literature, these vertical wind turbines produce no vibration, are
soundless (0 dB) measured at a 2 meter distance from the vane, and are safe for people and animals (i.e.,
they do not kill birds).
Comment: As residents that live roughly 700 to 1000 feet from the freight rail tracks, we can hear the
train and feel the vibrations as it travels through the corridor. Has PLACE included additional structural,
vibration and noise mitigations in their building designs?
Response: The design team includes experts regarding noise and vibration issues. Triple-paned glazing or
dual-paned glazing with acoustical applications will be evaluated for the windows, as will other acoustical
enhancements to the HVAC systems. It is anticipated that the tighter building envelope required to meet
the energy efficiency goals of the project will also likely result in less sound transmission into the
residential units. Opportunities to minimize the transmission of vibration into and within the buildings
from the freight rail will be explored, recognizing the noise and vibration properties of the proposed
construction types.
Comment: (page 29): Proposed parking includes 447 parking spaces: 216 on the north, and 231 on the
south.
PLACE is requesting approval with just 447 parking spaces rather than the 688 that would normally be
required for a project of this scope per SLP City Code. This represents a total reduction of 35%. The
reduction is based primarily on PLACE's Mobility/Car-Free Living Plan, but also includes reductions for
shared parking and its location as a transit oriented development.
Questions:
• What are the consequences to parking capacity on the site if PLACE is unable to attain the car
free goal(s) used in the parking calculations?
• What is the plan if PLACE is unable to implement/maintain the mitigations that are the basis for
the reduction in on-site parking requirements requested in its Final PUD submission?
• Why is PLACE getting a reduction for shared parking when the parking study by Walker Parking
Consultants indicates that the peak parking for all uses occurs at the same hours, which by SLP
code disqualifies the project for that reduction?
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 8a)
Title: PLACE St. Louis Park EAW Finding of Fact and Record of Decision Page 41
PLACE St. Louis Park 34 April 2017
• Who will be responsible for monitoring PLACE's implementation and maintenance of the
mitigations in its mobility plan?
• If the SWLRT is not built, will PLACE lose the TOD portion of its parking reduction? Where
will those cars park?
Response: If PLACE is unable to attain the car-free goal(s), they may be required to construct additional
parking or lease parking spaces off-site where surplus parking is available. The City has required PLACE
to submit proof of parking, demonstrating how and where additional parking can be added to the site.
This includes a parking ramp located near the E-Generation facility, the installation of compact parking
spaces, and leased spaces from nearby parking lots.
The peak parking for the development is at 10 p.m., a time when the coffee shop, cafe, Makers Space, co-
working space, and bike shop will either be closed or will have limited service. This allows for a parking
reduction due to shared parking. Additionally, PLACE has collaborated with the hotel operator and
commercial enterprises to hire employees from within the residential component of the development,
lessening the need for additional employee parking spaces.
PLACE will be required to report the mobility/travel demand management (TDM) plan annually to the
City for review as per the Planning Development Contract. If issues arise, PLACE will be required to
revise their mobility/TDM plan or construct additional parking to alleviate parking issues.
The parking reductions for PLACE are based upon car-free living and shared parking, not on transit. The
City does offer a 10 percent reduction for commercial units when adjacent to an area served by bus
transit, but those reductions were not applied to the PLACE development. Regardless of SWLRT,
PLACE will be required to manage parking onsite. If SWLRT is not approved and parking is an issue, the
developer will be required to add additional mobility measures and/or construct additional parking onsite.
Comment: Some of these apartments are designated as live/work spaces, the renters will want to sell
their merchandise (i.e.: art fairs and special events) which will bring traffic to the area. Was this
additional traffic factored into SEHs traffic study? Also with the planned reduction in parking as this is a
transit orientated community, where will the customers park?
What types of businesses are allowed to be run out of PLACE?
If businesses like daycares are allowed, they generate multiple trips a day, were those additional traffic
trips factored into SEHs traffic study?
Response: The draft planned unit development (PUD) ordinance includes performance standards for
home occupations allowed in the live/work spaces. These uses will be the same or similar to the lists
allowed in other residential districts in the city. Certain home occupations will specifically be prohibited,
and others must conform the current city regulations. The draft ordinance for this development excludes
group day care facilities and will either prohibit or strictly limit family day cares in the PUD. The traffic
consultants took into account live/work units. Regarding the possibility of special events, the City has
permitting requirements for such events and the logistics associated with those events are handled on a
case-by-case basis.
Comment: (Page 32) Travel Demand Management Strategies: The Proposer will provide a car-free perks
package to 90 households on a first-come, first-served basis.
Why on a first-come first-served basis, are there not enough for 90 households?
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 8a)
Title: PLACE St. Louis Park EAW Finding of Fact and Record of Decision Page 42
PLACE St. Louis Park 35 April 2017
Do they expect more than 90 households to want car-free perks?
Those who choose to be car-free and receive the benefits must agree as part of their lease that they will
remain car-free. How will this be enforced and what would the penalty be?
What would prevent a resident who initially has no car, and then has a legitimate need for one, from
maintaining their perks by parking off-site on city streets?
How will SWLRT riders be prevented from parking at PLACE or the immediate area?
Will there be neighborhood or tenant parking permits?
Who will bear the cost of signage and enforcement?
Won't the potential need for parking at PLACE and SWLRT station increase the traffic congestion in the
area as people look for spaces?
Response: St. Louis Park and other cities along the SWLRT line are in discussions to conduct a parking
management strategy plan for all SWLRT station areas, as potential “hide-and-ride” parking is not an
issue unique to the Wooddale Station area. PLACE will be responsible for managing parking (signage,
permitting, etc.) on their properties, and the City will be responsible for managing parking (signage,
permitting, etc.) on city right-of-way. There are no SWLRT parking spaces located at the Wooddale
Station. Park-and-ride facilities will be available at the Beltline Station and Louisiana Station in St. Louis
Park.
Comment: (page 31) Table 18 - 3
The traffic study provided uses traffic counts extrapolated from a 2013 Traffic Study to assess current and
future traffic congestion.
Do the numbers used reflect the increase in traffic only from PLACE or do they include the Elmwood as
well?
Does the actual growth in the 35th street corridor, including PLACE and The Elmwood, exceed the base
growth projections used in the study for both 2020 and 2040?
Will additional growth beyond that of The Elmwood and PLACE exceed the base growth projections
used in the study for both 2020 and 2040?
Do the numbers include the SWLRT intersection upgrades?
What is the plan, going forward, as more development occurs in this area?
Response: This traffic study factors in existing traffic and future growth based on the city’s established
land use plan to determine traffic volumes. Analysis was completed to understand opening day (2020)
traffic and 2040 traffic volumes for consistency with the Southwest Light Rail transit project. The traffic
analysis incorporated the Southwest Light Rail’s and City’s planned improvements to Wooddale from TH
7 to W 36th Street. As additional development projects are proposed in the area, traffic analysis and
mitigation measures may be necessary.
Comment: (Page 32)
Per the Traffic Impact Study, proposed intersection improvements for the area include:
• Traffic signals at the TH 7 terminal intersections on Wooddale
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 8a)
Title: PLACE St. Louis Park EAW Finding of Fact and Record of Decision Page 43
PLACE St. Louis Park 36 April 2017
• Restripe Wooddale Ave to a 4-lane section
• Restrict the full access Frontage Road intersection to right-in/right-out access (the City has
requested that the access be modified to include a southbound left turn lane onto the east leg of
the Frontage Road; this is currently under consideration by SPO)
• New signal system and gates for the freight and LRT crossings
• New grade-separated trail crossing for the Cedar Lake LRT Trail at Wooddale (underpass)
• Widening of Wooddale Bridge and reconfiguration of bridge corners to improve sight
lines
• Construct a right-in/right-out access to the south site on W 36th St
• Construct eastbound left turn lane on to Xenwood from W 36th St
• Add flashing yellow arrow signal heads for eastbound traffic on W 36th St on to Xenwood
Intersection proposed improvements at Hwy 7/south frontage road/freightrail/LTR crossing are tied to
SWLRT, which has not broken ground yet. If SWLRT isn't built, who will pay for the necessary
intersection improvements?
Response: The improvements identified in the traffic impact study are a collection of capital
improvement projects programmed by SWLRT and the City.
It is expected that the widening of Wooddale Bridge, the 36th Street left turn lane at Xenwood, and the
right-in/right-out access of the south frontage road will be built by the City with various scheduled
improvements.
Other improvements, such as the grade separation of the Cedar Lake Regional Trail, will be a joint effort
of the City, Three Rivers Park District, and Hennepin County.
Comment: The proposed south frontage road right-in/right-out access to NB Wooddale Ave (no access to
Wooddale SB) is problematic: Drivers wishing to go SB on Wooddale will find another spot along
Wooddale to make a u-turn to go south on Wooddale, thus creating a different traffic issue elsewhere.
Wooddale Ave serves as a primary access to two schools: SLP High and Central/PSI. In the recent past,
left turns from HWY 7 exit ramps were prohibited and most drivers complied, others simply made U-
turns elsewhere along Wooddale to correct their course.
How will you ensure the right-in/right-out access won't create other traffic issues elsewhere along
Wooddale?
Since the city requested left-in access, is it possible to design the intersection to allow for left-out as well?
How will the safety of students walking, biking or driving be ensured?
Response: The Metropolitan Council’s regional transportation model and traffic impact study project 90
percent of the traffic from the site is destined for Highway 7 or Highway 100. Less than 5 percent of the
overall traffic from the entire development is projected to be destined for 36th Street. The impact of
preventing vehicles from turning left out of the frontage road is projected to be very limited, especially in
comparison to the much larger number of vehicles turning left from the highway exit ramps. The overall
performance of Wooddale Avenue/W 36th Street is much better with the restriction of left-turns from the
frontage road.
The City has programmed improvements to the Wooddale bridge for 2018-2019 that will expand
sidewalks and bike lanes and improve visibility at the freeway ramps.

Title: PLACE St. Louis Park EAW Finding of Fact and Record of Decision Page 44
PLACE St. Louis Park 37 April 2017
Comment: Table 18 - 3 does not reflect the PM peak traffic flow reported in the SEH traffic studies for
2020 & 2040 with both PLACE and 35th Street connection in play. For 2020, there are 8 intersections at
LOS D and 4 at LOS E. Two of the LOS E intersections are at PLACE access and 36th Street. For 2040,
there are 6 intersections at LOS D, 8 intersections at LOS E, and 8 that are at LOS F. As 2020 is less than
3 years away, it means that the PLACE development would open in an already congested area.
Is there any plan to increase the LOS to C or better?
Response: The City’s standard for intersection level of service (LOS) is for LOS D or better. Individual
legs of an intersection may fall below that threshold; however, the aggregate LOS for the development
out to 2040 with 35th Street are all LOS D or better.
Designing and building intersections with LOS C or better are not always possible in an urban
environment due to economic and space constraints.
Comment: Given that the TIF executive summary notes that the EDA's own financial consultant cautions
there is a lack of financial feasibility of the high percentage of residential units with restrictive (affordable
rents):
How would future federal or state budget cuts to low income housing, vouchers, services etc. affect the
financial viability I sustainability of the PLACE project?
What would be the alternative resources for this funding? How much of PLACE's total revenue in their
operating budget will be derivatives of this revenue stream?
What other kinds of options as PLACE and City Council considered to narrow this gap?
Response: The project will not be affected by cuts in future federal or state affordable housing programs.
The City’s and Economic Development Authority’s financial consultant’s analyses of the project showed
that the residential component of the project is not feasible but for the provision of $5.6 million in tax
increment assistance. The assistance is local funding generated by the property taxes from the new
development and not state or federal funds.
Comment: According to the PLACE 15 year operating PROFORMA, the annual debt service payment
beginning year 1 is more than 5M Dollars and the net projected cash flow annually in first 10 years never
exceed $1.5M.
What are the offset revenue options to maintain positive operating expense streams if any segment of the
current projections ramp more slowly than anticipated (or fail)?
Response: The project will maintain industry standard operating reserves.
Comment: If the SWLRT project is not completed or is delayed beyond the present projections:
What financial implications to the PLACE Project will there be budgetarily?
How will the recent potential bus line and metro transit cuts announced in the Star Tribune on April 27,
2017 impact the transportation plans of this project if those cuts are made and how will that add to the
cost of the PLACE Project?
Response: There are no anticipated financial impacts on the PLACE project from SWLRT project delays;
and what future funding from Metro Transit will be, and what, if any, changes to transit service in St.

Louis Park or the PLACE project would result, are not known. An potential cost may be the need to
provide the shuttle service for a longer period of time until LRT or other transit service is available. The
City will continue to work with Metro Transit to provide effective transit service. Generally, Metro
Transit focuses its services on areas of high ridership opportunities and transit-oriented developments
similar to the PLACE design.
The market studies for the project contemplated the feasibility of the project with and without SWLRT
and determined that it is feasible under both scenarios. The presence or absence of the SWLRT project
improvements is not expected to significantly impact the construction cost of the PLACE project.
Comment: Given that more than one third of PLACE's revenue budget is expected to come from this,
according to the PLACE 15 year OPERATING PROFORMA:
What are the financial commitments and what length of commitment is the Hotel entering into with
Place?
Is the hotel planning to accept any other non-retail hospitality revenue sources to maintain profitability?
(ie, homeless vouchers, corporate relocation contracts, etc.).
Will the hotel workers be a part of a union and what obligations will PLACE legally place upon the
Marriott Corporation to pay a living wage and provide full time work?
How will PLACE define living wage in absence of city ordinance that defines it?
Response: The contract with Marriott has not been completed at this time but will be completed
according to typical development timelines and standards.
Comment: What is the expected occupancy rate of the hotel in years 1-5?
Will Methodist Hospital or other corporate clients be committing formally to agreements with legally
binding financial obligations to the Place Project?
Who are these entities and who has met with them?
Are minutes of those meetings and/or financial commitments available for public inspection?
Response: The project proposer commissioned three independent market studies over the past 18 months.
The most recent was completed in November 2016. All of these studies supported the economic viability
of the hotel. Discussions with Methodist Hospital are ongoing, but a positive outcome from these
discussions is not critical to the economic performance of the hotel as defined in the market studies.
Comment: As the Hotel has been named by PLACE as an anchor for financial sustainability of the
Project:
What is the current occupancy rate of the hotel stock within 5 miles of this development (ie, the 394
business corridor and WestEnd area)?
Earlier documents provided at City study sessions indicated this occupancy rates that were less than 90%;
how does the PLACE budget apply occupancy swings in its formula for revenue projections and what
financial resources will be budgeted and by whom (ie, PLACE or City of SLP) to keep these rooms
filled?

Response: The project proposer commissioned three independent market studies over the past 18 months.
The most recent was completed in November 2016. All of these studies supported the economic viability
of the hotel.
Comment: Will live/work residents be required to maintain commercial liability insurances and
commercial property insurances?
How will that be managed by PLACE (ie, will they be required to purchase from PLACE under an
umbrella policy managed by one insurance company, show proof of insurance and each tenant will have
own policy, etc.)?
Could taxpayers end up with any financial liability for such?
Response: The majority of the live/work units (94 out of 99) are residential units and do not have a
commercial/retail function. The remaining 5 will be required to carry insurance as required for other
commercial establishments in the city. Tax payers will not be subject to financial liability for these
live/work units.
Comment: Given that PLACE is a non-profit organization and that a high percentage of this development
will be built with municipal monies, in the absence of significant equity at the front end to borrow
against:
Will the PLACE organization have contingency funds in the bank guaranteed in event of an unforeseen
financial development, significant cost overruns, or necessitated shift in scope of project?
Do the Ventura Wave Project and Curley School Project run annually in the black?
How many years of the last 10 years have these projects been run at the projected income and expense
budget and /or without deficit?
Response: The project will maintain industry standard operating reserves. The City will require that all
financing is secured before the City will sell the property to PLACE. The commercial components of the
development will likely be financed with conventional terms including down payments. The project is not
being built with municipal monies. The City has agreed to issue conduit revenue bonds for the PLACE
project, which means the City is using its bonding authority to allow PLACE to borrow funds to finance a
portion of the PLACE project. These are not the City’s monies, and the obligation to repay the borrowed
funds is not the City’s responsibility.
Comment: According to the PLACE website and research on the professional background, presently
among the PLACE staff and the entire PLACE Board of Directors, there is no one with specific business
expertise in financial management, budgeting, or finance/accounting and 50% of your board is not local
to MN.
How will PLACE conduct, engage, and ensure prudent and sustainable fiscal practices in the development
and management of this project without staff or board expertise in this critical area?
Response: The PLACE team has stated they have experience in the creation of other similar projects for
public benefit, none of which have ever been in default or foreclosure. The members of the limited
liability company that was formed to complete this project in St. Louis Park have contributed a
combination of cash and in-kind equity to the project financing. The project consultant team includes
CPAs and engineers. The PLACE Board of Directors and Advisory Board include other developers,

architects, real estate professionals, academics, and executives from substantial corporations and the
finance industry. The City’s and Economic Development Authority’s fiscal consultants’ analyses of the
proposed project found it to be consistent with industry standards. The City’s engineering staff and
independent engineering consultants have reviewed the project. The fiscal consultants’ analyses of the
proposed project on behalf of the proposer and the city found it to be consistent with industry standards.
Separate management firms will be hired for the hotel and residential apartments.
Comment: How will the PLACE project fund potential additional infrastructure costs that will come as a
result of this development so that it does not ultimately become burdensome to the tax base of Saint Louis
Park.
Potential unplanned infrastructure or associated costs may be:
• Public Safety and Security (including enforcement of parking restrictions, presence of urban
forest, presence of retail clients
• Potential Human Services support for low income residents to help them thrive in our community
(i.e. ESL for schools, transportation, jobs training/re-training in Place enterprises, etc)
• Schools and associated education related costs
Response: The City considers impacts to city service (police, fire, public works) when preparing tax
increment financing plans.
Comment: The anaerobic digester, which seems to be an important part of the E-Generation for PLACE,
is not well addressed in the EAW. The following questions are related to multiple Sections of the EAW,
including Transportation, Air, Water, and General Safety.
Is there an operating anaerobic digester of equivalent capacity in an urban setting currently operating
anywhere in the United States and/or the world?
How well does it fulfill the needs for which it was installed?
What were the needs for that project and compare them to PLACE.
What is the name(s) of the project(s)
Where are they located?
How does the amount of waste required for that project(s) compare with the projected amount produced at
Place?
Describe any similarities or dissimilarities between those and the one to be used at PLACE.
Response: See the anaerobic digester supplemental information on page 48.
Comment: How will you insure the quality and appropriateness of waste materials that will be collected
from tenants and put into the digester?
Response: See the anaerobic digester supplemental information on page 48.
Comment: How will the food waste be collected from the 299 residential units, 110 hotel rooms, cafe
and coffee house for the digester?
How and when will it be transported to the E-generation facility?
How many trips per day?

What impact will this have on air quality (odors)?
Response: See the anaerobic digester supplemental information on page 48.
Comment: The raw material has to be closely monitored or the dewatered solid waste will be unusable:
Who will be responsible for monitoring the quality and consistency of the material being sent to the

How many positions have been designated for the pick-up, storing, feeding and maintaining the digester?
What impact will this have on parking at PLACE?
Response: See the anaerobic digester supplemental information on page 48.
Comment: It is stated that an average of 120 gallons of food waste per hour will be needed for
the digester. (EAW pg 18) That is a total of 2880 gallons of food waste per day.
Is it realistic that that much food waste will be generated on site? Where is the data to back that claim?
If there is not enough daily food waste from the PLACE to run the anaerobic digester, PLACE will need
to obtain matter from other sources.
Is that delivery calculated in the traffic report?
Will that food waste be delivered in 60 gallon containers with lids as the on-site waste is to reduce odors?
affect daily operation and your financial bottom line?
Response: See the anaerobic digester supplemental information on page 48.
Comment: It is stated (EAW pg 18) that 357 lbs/day of dewatered waste will be produced.
How much will need to be stored on site?
How often will it be shipped out?
Will the disposition of the dewatered waste require large trucks?
Is this traffic included in the traffic study?
Response: See the anaerobic digester supplemental information on page 48.
Comment: Does the number "5 daily trips" cited in the traffic study, account for the total movement of
raw material to the system and the disposition of the dewatered material that is created? Does it account
for the type and size of vehicle required?
Response: The traffic study accounts for the total movement of materials to and from the E-Generation
facility.

Response: The project will comply with MPCA requirements for air quality monitoring.
Comment: The anaerobic digestion process appears to require attention for proper operation and has,
under certain circumstances, resulted in explosion and fire.
Who will be charged with the training, monitoring and maintenance required by the anaerobic digester?
Who will be charged with maintenance of safety protocols?
Who will generate those protocols?
Is the SLP fire department currently trained to deal with the potential of a methane explosion and fire at
the E-Gen facility?
Is City staff trained to perform the necessary and required inspections of the equipment?
If not, who will do so?
How many positions have been designated for the pick-up, storing, feeding and maintaining the digester?
Response: The City of St. Louis Park Fire Department is equipped and trained to respond to such
incidents. City of St. Louis Park Inspections and Fire Departments will inspect and enforce state building
and fire codes related to this type of operation. If determined during the permitting process that State of
Minnesota or other third party expertise is required, the City will engage those resources.
Comment: How does the PLACE project affect the immediate areas walkability score?
Response: Walk scores are based on the number of amenities located within a 5-minute walk. Since
PLACE is adding a cafe, coffee shop, hotel, and other amenities, the development should increase the
walkability score for the surrounding area.
Comment: Should there not be more 3 and 4 bedroom units for creatives with larger families, particularly
single women?
At the first few PLACE public meetings, PLACE stated its project would be all encompassing; singles to
families.
Why were the 4 bedroom apartments removed from the design?
What is the adult/child maximum for each of the apartment designs?
Would childcare be allowed in any of the units in the project?
Response: The proposed tenant mix is supported by market research. The development includes two
four-bedroom units and 27 three-bedroom units.
The adult to child maximum per unit will be per Minnesota Housing Finance Agency (MHFA) limits for
affordable units and per MetroPlains guidelines for market rate units.
The proposed planned unit development ordinance may allow licensed family day care as a home
occupation on the south site only, with certain restrictions, similar to other residential zoning districts in
the city. Group day care (non-residential) will not be allowed. PLACE will allow day care on the south
site consistent with MHFA requirements.

Comment: On the City of St. Louis Park website, the description of this project said that it will produce
electricity via solar, wind, and co-generation. I did not find any information about the wind or solar
portions of the project described in the EAW. Where can I find more details about those items?
Specifically, with the wind generation, will the generation process contribute any noise or vibration to the
neighborhood. Has the process been assessed for potential effects on birds or other wildlife?
Response: The proposed wind turbine is a Windside WS-4B vertical turbine (www.windside.com).
According to the manufacturer's literature, these vertical wind turbines produce no vibration, are
soundless (0 dB) measured at a 2 meter distance from the vane, and are safe for people and animals (i.e.,
do not kill birds).
Comment: Considering the co-generation process, my understanding was that the digesting process
would produce methane and then the methane would be used to produce energy. I don’t see in the EAW
how this methane will be managed. It isn’t listed in section 12c. As methane can be explosive, what steps
are in place to ensure it will not pose a risk? How will the methane be controlled, contained and
transported? What are the back-up plans to prevent it from posing a hazard to the neighborhood if it
escapes its primary system?
Response: The two 1 megawatt cogeneration units are no longer proposed for the project. See the
anaerobic digester supplemental information on page 48.
Comment: Section 17 discusses sensitive receivers to noise. The properties at 3600 Wooddale and 3640
Wooddale do not appear to be considered in the EAW but should also be considered. These properties are
closer to the property than some of the others mentioned and do not have any noise barriers between them
and the proposed e-generation site.
Response: The E-Generation facility is rated by the manufacturer for 70 decibels at ten meters. Since
point source noises decay at a rate of approximately 6 decibels per distance doubling, noise levels will be
roughly 64 decibels at the site boundary. This noise level is lower than the noise associated with noise
from traffic on Highway 7. Noise from the site will continue to decrease at greater distances and will not
cause increased noise levels at adjacent sensitive receptors. The properties at 3600 and 3640 Wooddale
are over 450 feet from the location of the proposed location for the E-Generation site. Noise levels at this
distance will be approximately 48 decibels, which is well below the state standards for daytime and
nighttime noise levels.
Comment: Question 18, page 29 states that the proposed parking includes 447 parking spaces: 216 on the
north and 31 on the south. 216 + 31 ≠ 447. Where will the additional parking spaces be located? I
understand that residents will be incentivized to not have their own automobiles on site. I encourage the
city to ensure that a mechanism exists to ensure that these incentives will be available in perpetuity. The
neighborhood cannot handle overflow parking in the streets.
Response: There are 231 parking spaces on the south, not 31 as originally stated in the EAW.
Comment: Page 32 describes that the project will include constructing a “RI/RO access to the south site
at W. 36th St.” I am concerned that this additional access may be too close to an already problematic
intersection and will need to be carefully considered. The Wooddale-36th St intersection is already
constrained by its non-perpendicular geometry and its close proximity to the rail road crossing.

Furthermore, the Village in the Park (VIP) subdivision has a Right-In/Right-Out (RI/RO) access in the
near vicinity that does not appear to have been considered with the traffic study. My experience with this
VIP access is that it is often not used as designed. Vehicles routinely turn left both into and out of the
access area. Potential collisions from this misuse are, theoretically, mitigated by drivers having a good
view and understanding the flow of traffic through the intersection. However, adding another unexpected
or less-visible access to the intersection could increase the confusion and potential for increased
collisions. It appears that the PLACE RI/RO access will have limited visibility to the entire intersection
and will not be able to see any traffic in the northern portion of the intersection. Knowing the misuse of
the VIP RI/RO, how has the PLACE RI/RO design considered safety for all parts of the intersection, and
how has the PLACE RI/RO design alleviated its potential misuse?
Response: The access locations studied in the traffic impact study provide satisfactory egress and safety
for vehicles traveling to and from the development and 36th Street. The area will be analyzed in greater
detail and additional geometric revisions could be pursued with the upcoming 36th Street and Wooddale
Avenue road rehabilitation project. This could include such modifications as a RI/RO island at the
driveway or a median on 36th Street.
Comment: The traffic study also pointed out some challenges with the PLACE RI/RO. I agree that
because it would turn from and onto a frequently queued right-turn only lane, there will be delays to both
entering and exiting vehicles as well as delays to the regular traffic trying to flow through the intersection
around PLACE. Also, as the study points out, “a vehicle exiting PLACE would have to execute a difficult
maneuver to enter the left turn lane (to travel from 36th street) and travel southbound on Wooddale
Avenue in order to access southbound TH 100.” Therefore, with these challenges, the design for the
PLACE RI/RO must be carefully considered. I suggest that it is worth considering eliminating the RI/RO
access. At the very least, there should be very good, abundant and clear signage directing people to use
the 35th street vehicular entrance to reduce pressure on the RI/RO access.
General signage at the intersection must be carefully planned as well. A sign placed at the intersection
visible from westbound 36th street near the left turn lane is frequently knocked down and replaced.
Response: The access locations studied in the traffic impact study provide satisfactory egress and safety
for vehicles traveling to and from the development and 36th Street. The area will be analyzed in greater
detail and additional geometric revisions could be pursued with the upcoming 36th Street and Wooddale
Avenue road rehabilitation project. This could include such modifications as a RI/RO island at the
driveway or a median on 36th Street.
Renee Klemetsen
Comment: The potential and likely smell of the anaerobic digester. Until there is a guarantee that this
will not smell now can this move forward? I haven’t seen a proven success story for a digester and yet
many disaster stories have been brought to light. I grew up in a small town with a smelly paper mill and
that is what we were known for. I do not want this to happen and depreciate the value of my home.
Everything issued on how this will work seems to be hypothetical, untested, and recently I believe a
patent was recently rejected, I have yet to find out why but it offers even more concern.
Response: See the anaerobic digester supplemental information on page 48. The City of St. Louis Park
regulations for anaerobic digesters include performance standards for odor control, as well as nuisance
regulations. The development must comply with these and any other regulations through the MPCA

permitting. The building containing the operation will also be constructed in accordance with applicable
building and fire codes.
Comment: The light rail that it is dependent upon for success is years away, and not a “sure thing”.
While we do have metro transit buses, as someone who often tries to use them because I do like the
benefits of public transit, I frequently have to drive to a spot for a pickup or spend over an hour trying to
get 5 miles, this is not an exaggeration, due to the Mpls hub-and-spoke routing of buses.
Response: Thank you for your comment. The city and PLACE recognize public transit includes
limitations regarding service and routes. LRT is expected to greatly improve transit to the area. The
PLACE Mobility Plan includes a number of measures to help residents navigate the existing transit
system, as well as alternatives to Metro Transit service that do not rely upon personal automobile
ownership.
Comment: More low income housing is frustrating considering the near $6k I pay in property taxes each
year. I live behind a low income apartment and have trash thrown over my fence on a regular basis, cars
without mufflers waking me up at all hours, consistent police activity due to crime. I apologize if this
seems insensitive but at some point I have to express it. Let’s bring in more high end development ideas
to increase our property values rather than have them decline. How about instead have a housing
development using the sustainable development ideas considered in this project.
Response: Thank you for your comment.
Comment: The space being used for this large development is very small and at a busy area that is
already congested.
Response: The City has extensively studied the size and intensity of the PLACE development including
traffic, parking, stormwater, water, sewer, and the other items studied in the EAW, which demonstrate
capacity for the development. The development meets the City's required setbacks for all City owned
right-of-way, and the height, size, and density of the development is similar to other mixed-use
development located along West 36th Street.
Comment: The cost; I understand that it’s non-profit but it is financed with what I believe is $150M, this
is a LOT of money that I feel could be put to better use for our city and residents.
Response: The private development cost of the project is estimated to be $123 million. The City has
agreed to issue tax exempt bonds to finance a portion of the proposed 299 housing units in the project in
the approximate principal amount of $27.1 million. These notes/bonds will not impact City debt capacity,
do not constitute a general or moral obligation of the City, and will not be secured by the taxing powers of
the City or any assets or property of the City. PLACE has requested $5.66 million in tax increment
financing (TIF). The TIF assistance will be pay-as-you-go and reimbursed with tax revenue generated by
the development when it is built.

Comment: I live on 35th street across from the Park Spanish Immersion school. The PLACE project
must not move forward.
The entire project depends on the implementation of the SW light rail project. I find it hard to believe that
the state government is willing to scuttle the project after expending so many resources in development.

However, the Republican controlled Minnesota state house and senate have clearly voiced their intentions
to block the SW light rail project, even if it means losing federal funding.
Without the light rail, the lack of parking for the hotel and the apartments will cause more problems, and
overshadow any benefits that the project could ever hope to accomplish for the lower income residents of
the city. The Wooddale Ave. bridge over Highway 7 already has high traffic levels, and the worst
visibility in the city. Low income apartments will mean quite a few children will be moving into this
apartment complex. 400 extra cars crowding the Wooddale intersections will be dangerous for all
residents in the immediate area.
I believe you should draft a new report assessing the environmental impact assuming the SW light rail
will not be constructed. The city council needs accurate information.
Response: Thank you for your comment. The development does not depend on LRT to succeed. The
development will need to implement its Mobility Plan (travel demand management) and parking
management plans. If Southwest Light Rail is delayed, additional traffic analysis will be completed to
better understand the impacts associated with this development and to identify mitigation measures and
what, if any, traffic improvements are needed. Widening of the Wooddale bridge is a City initiated project
to improve visibility and accommodate wider sidewalks and bike lanes, and this improvement is not
dependent on the SWLRT project moving forward and is programmed for 2018-2019.
Pam Reierson
Comment: I do want to contact you directly about my strong feelings opposing the propose Place
development. The Place development sounded very exciting until I realized that the project requires far
more space than is available at the Wooddale, Highway 7, 35th and 36th street area.
My husband and I have lived in the St. Louis Park Fern Hill neighborhood for over 40 years. We raised
two children there, and one of our daughters currently lives on Park Glen Road.
The area around Wooddale and Highway 7 is an area through which I travel very frequently - even
several times a day. For me and others as well, traffic and congestion (car, rail, bicycle and walking trail)
are already overwhelming and therefore unsafe. Many St. Louis Park residents depend on or use the
intersections on Wooddale, 36 Street, and Highway 7. We drive through there to get to and from Miracle
Mile, Lunds and Byerlys, Target, the High School, PSI, the Library, Knollwood, the Super Target to teh
West of Knollwood, and Walgreens on Blake Road just south of Knollwood.
Former Mayor Jeff Jacobs used any number of colorful phrases when he spoke publicly. One, which
alarmed me at the time and continues to do so in the present was "congestion is a good thing."
While I support some of the concepts of the Place development (e.g. affordable housing) and except for
the Urban Forest, I deeply oppose its proposed location. The available area for the proposed site is far too
small.
Response: Thank you for your comments. The traffic impact study indicates acceptable level of service in
this area. The access locations studied in the traffic impact study provide satisfactory egress and safety for
vehicles traveling to and from the development and 36th Street. The area will be analyzed in greater detail
and additional geometric revisions could be pursued with the upcoming 36th Street and Wooddale Avenue
road rehabilitation project.

Comment: There are times in the morning when southbound traffic on Ottawa crossing Highway 7 to
continue south on Beltline Boulevard is backed up to Minnetonka Boulevard. Some of this is related to
stoplights on Highway 7. But some of this is also related to Twin Cities and Western railroad traffic that
blocks Beltline Boulevard. According to Minnesota Statute 219.383 Sub. 3, trains cannot block roadways
for over 10 minutes. This applies to stopped trains only, and there are certain exceptions. There is nothing
in the law about trains that are moving and blocking roadways as they move. There are times when both
directions of Beltline Boulevard are blocked far longer than 10 minutes, either by trains that are stopped
or moving. At time, northbound traffic on Beltline Boulevard is backed up past of Park Glen Road. Even
as I support light rail, I shudder to think of the effect of adding light rail to this.
The same conflict is even more intense at Wooddale and Highway 7. That traffic will worsen if/when
light rail becomes a reality.
The intersection of Wooddale and 36th Street is challenging because westbound drivers must turn left on
Wooddale in response to posted signs that direct access to southbound Highway 100. Drivers must make
the same turn to travel on Excelsior Boulevard in either direction.
Truly workable solutions to the Highway 7/Wooddale area and the Wooddale/36th Street intersections are
needed right now. Once these improvements are developed and effected, then perhaps minimal additional
development in this area can be considered. But, please do not approve development of The Place at this
time and in this area.
Response: Thank you for your comments. The traffic impact study indicates acceptable level of service at
36th Street and Wooddale Avenue. The access locations studied in the traffic impact study provide
satisfactory egress and safety for vehicles traveling to and from the development and 36th Street. The area
will be analyzed in greater detail and additional geometric revisions could be pursued with the upcoming
36th Street and Wooddale Avenue road rehabilitation project.
Comment: Aimbridge, the hotel operator, may well have “…experience with hotels on the LRT line and
will encourages guests to come by transit.” However, I believe that too many of their ideas are completely
unrealistic and extremely expensive as stated.
A “transportation concierge” “…helping residents and the public to navigate the Twin Cities area using
the many transit options available that do not require a personal vehicle.” There are very few such options
available in the Twin Cities. Thus, the word “many,” though well intended, is completely misleading.
A “shuttle” that provides transportation to key destinations for residents and hotel guests.” Given the size
of the Urban area of Minneapolis and St. Paul and surrounding suburbs and the vast number of potential
“key destinations,” I see this intent as unworkable.
“A free hybrid shuttle to run regularly to high demand destinations for residents and hotel guests…”?
“The destinations and scheduling will be determined through conversations with hotel management and
residents.” Again, I see this as unworkable even if it is well intended.
Therefore, I cannot agree that there will be “…minimal impact to the existing roadway network under
2020 traffic demand.”
On the contrary, I believe there will be major impact on our “existing roadway network…” I have not
examined the EAW carefully enough to determine which entity will be responsible for the proposed
modifications to the Highway 7 entrance and exit ramps. I have not been able to find a timetable for their

completion. I am certain the City of St. Louis Park will fund and make the appropriate changes to restripe
Wooddale Avenue and to reworking city intersections. But, what realistic timetable is proposed for
completing these projects?
Lest you perceive me as completely negative, I do support many of the exciting and positive concepts of
The Place Project. However, I see that the proposed area is far too small and that the Place Development
deserves to be constructed in a far larger and more workable location and thus, a different location from
the Wooddale/Highway 7/36th Street site.
Response: Thank you for your comments. The traffic impact study indicates acceptable levels of service
within the project area. The development will need to implement its Mobility (travel demand
management) Plan. The area will be analyzed in greater detail and additional geometric revisions could be
pursued with the upcoming 36th Street and Wooddale Avenue road rehabilitation project.
Regarding your question about the timetable for improvements to the Wooddale bridge, the City has these
changes programmed in the capital improvement plan for 2018-2019. Other transportation improvements
are scheduled to occur over the next few years and are included as part of, or in coordination with, the
construction of SWLRT (2017-2021) or the PLACE project itself.
Anaerobic Digester: Supplemental Information
System Description
The project is using a pre-manufactured, self-contained anaerobic digester manufactured by SEaB Energy
Ltd (http://seabenergy.com). The specified model is the FLEXIBUSTER Anaerobic Digestion (AD)
Model FB72. The FLEXIBUSTER was first invented in 2009/2010 and went through several versions
during 5 years of development. The current version (version 5) went to market in 2015. The system is
designed to be installed outdoors and is fully contained in ISO Intermodal shipping containers that are
either 10-feet or 20-feet in length, painted green. Although the system is designed to be installed outdoors
in the elements, the anaerobic digesters on the PLACE project will be fully enclosed within the E-Gen
building.
The anaerobic digesters are partially manufactured by SEaB Energy's own production facility and also in
collaboration with production partners in the United Kingdom and the United States. Global patents for
the system have been obtained over the years.
The PLACE St. Louis Park system is designed for 600 tons per year. The organic source separated food
waste from apartments and the café is estimated as follows:
• Café: 300 lbs/day
• 300 apartments: 1,200 lbs/day
An additional estimated 1,600 lbs/day of spent grain from a local brewery will be used at the E-Gen
facility. The combination of these sources results in an organic waste stream of approximately 570 tons
annually.
The facility includes a drying unit to dry the digestate material, further reducing the amount of trucking to
and from the facility. The end product will be in powder form or similar. It will be stored on pallets inside
the E-Gen building and can be shipped using smaller cube vans rather than full sized semis.

Technology and FLEXIBUSTER Product History
Anaerobic digestion technology has been used throughout the world for decades. Large scale facilities
using food wastes to create energy exist throughout Europe to power cities. The smallest scale anaerobic
digesters occur in Africa and use the manure from two cows to heat and power a home. In addition, in the
United States, landfills use gas created from decomposing materials to generate heat and electricity. The
PLACE St. Louis Park E-Gen facility uses this same general technology on a community scale.
The FLEXIBUSTER is a standard, factory-built appliance. A version 5 FLEXIBUSTER unit has been
running since May 2015 at a business park in Southampton, UK and since May 2016 at a large
supermarket in Portugal (high density). A previous version has been running at the business park in
Southampton since 2012 until it being replaced by version 5 in 2015. All systems have been running
according to expectations and without any safety issues.
The FLEXIBUSTER system was recently installed right next to the central hospital in Southampton, UK
and is expected to be switched on for the first time within weeks. The first US systems are currently being
finalized, with installation taking place soon.
Impacts to Adjacent Uses
The FLEXIBUSTER anaerobic digester system is unique and distinguishable from other anaerobic
digestion systems because the system is fully contained within standard containers, which allows all air
and gasses in and from the system to be fully controlled and filtered. The manufacturer has test
certificates of the effectiveness of the odor control for the system at a business park in Southampton, UK.
This testing shows no odorous particles being detected after the standard system filtering.
The system is also micro-scale compared to other anaerobic digestion solutions, making the system
manageable and aiding in the controllability as described above. A FLEXIBUSTER has been running
successfully next to a large supermarket in the middle of Porto, Portugal without any odor issues.
Installation, Operation, and Safety at PLACE St. Louis Park
The facility will be designed to meet applicable local, state, and federal standards and regulations. The
proposer will be responsible for the installation of the SEaB equipment in accordance with the
manufacturer’s written instructions. The FLEXIBUSTER is a standard piece of equipment, for which the
installation process follows carefully reviewed guidelines that include pressure testing and inert gas
purging to prevent the risk of any explosive atmosphere arising during commissioning.
Local operators will be trained by SEaB to ensure the anaerobic digester system is operated properly and
safely. The FLEXIBUSTER has been designed for safe and easy operation and for that purpose is
equipped with remote monitoring capabilities and automatic alarm messaging systems. It has been found
by an independent safety consultant to comply with all regulations for dangerous substances and
explosive atmospheres (DSEAR). The small scale of the FLEXIBUSTER means that concerns that may
apply to conventional, large anaerobic digestion plants do not necessarily apply to the FLEXIBUSTER.
For example, the maximum amount of biogas present inside the FLEXIBUSTER at any time is
comparable in energy content to 2.64 to 3.17 gallons (10 to 12 liters) of diesel fuel.
The system will be remotely monitored by SEaB as well as by on-site operators. The on-site operators
will be trained by the equipment manufacturer SEaB. SEaB will also provide an operation and

maintenance manual with complete instructions and safety procedures. Once trained the operators will be
responsible for maintaining safety protocols.
The FLEXIBUSTER system continuously monitors the quality (i.e., composition) of the biogas upstream
of the combustion process. Wastewater from dewatering of the digested solids can be periodically
sampled and tested by a certified lab for wastewater parameters. This wastewater will be discharged to the
local sanitary sewer system. As previously stated, air within the digester container walls and within the
building space will be monitored continuously and connected to an alarm system that will shut down the
digester system if needed and alert operators.
The fact that the system is fully containerized allows full control of the biogas content. The system is
furthermore equipped with a number of safety measures that include monitoring of the air composition
within the containerized units and automatic shutdown of the system if a gas leak is detected. The
building space containing the digester will also have gas detectors that will alert operators through a
control system. Methane is contained with the digester containers and the gasholder container then
conveyed by closed pipe to the combined heat and power (CHP) generator. The CHP generator will be
housed in a separate room from the digesters to reduce the risk of explosion should a gas leak occur. The
control system will be equipped with a dialer system that will call operators in the event of an alarm.
Safety and monitoring information will be available for review upon written request.
Organic Waste Collection
PLACE will communicate with and provide training to the residents for source separation of food waste
and will monitor the food waste collection process and maintain the quality of the organic waste material.
Mitigating odor is one of the E-Gen project’s highest priorities. Food waste will be centrally collected in
typical 96-gallon recycling bins. This will be collected on site multiple times a week to reduce odors. The
material from these 96-gallon bins will not be tipped into a larger truck, thus further reducing odors. The
bins will be picked up and moved on-site with electrical utility vehicles directly inside the E-Gen building
prior to unloading. These vehicles have zero emissions and are quiet due to the absence of an internal
combustion engine.

6. Project Description:
a. Provide the brief project summary to be published in the EQB Monitor, (approximately 50
words).
PLACE is redeveloping nine brownfield parcels into a mixed-use, environmentally sustainable,
transit-oriented community. The project will include: 299 mixed-income living spaces, including
live/work space for artists; a 110-room hotel; retail space; and neighborhood amenities like an
urban forest. The project also includes an e-generation facility that will digest all compostable
materials generated on-site.
b. Give a complete description of the proposed project and related new construction, including
infrastructure needs. If the project is an expansion include a description of the existing
facility. Emphasize: 1) construction, operation methods and features that will cause
physical manipulation of the environment or will produce wastes, 2) modifications to
existing equipment or industrial processes, 3) significant demolition, removal or remodeling
of existing structures, and 4) timing and duration of construction activities.
PLACE, a 501(c)(3), will develop the site into a mixed-income, mixed-use, multigenerational,
environmentally sustainable, transit-oriented development. The project is being developed on
parcels north and south of the existing rail line, including:
Northern Site:
• 218 apartments (including affordable, market-rate, and live-work)
• Commercial bike shop
• E-Generation facility, which uses PLACE’s patent-pending portfolio of renewable energy
systems to convert locally-sourced organic waste into energy for the project and a soil
amendment byproduct that will be used in the on-site greenhouse. The E-generation facility will
anaerobically digest food waste material generated from the residences, hotel, and commercial
establishments on-site to produce methane that will power a 30 kilowatt generator. The heat
and electrical power from the generator will be used in residences and the hotel on the project
site. In addition, the E-generation facility will include two 1 Megawatt combined heat and
electrical power generators running on natural gas. The heat and electrical power from these
units will be used on the project site and not be fed into the electrical grid.
• 0.88 acres of urban forest
• Buildings, site and program designed to support a multigenerational community where
households at all stages in life and income feel welcome
• Mobility Plan with car/bike sharing, shuttle, and car-free living incentives
• Green roofs for additional stormwater management and habitat
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 8a)
Title: PLACE St. Louis Park EAW Finding of Fact and Record of Decision Page 61
page 3
Southern Site:
• 81 apartments (including affordable, market-rate, and live-work)
• 110-room Fairfield by Marriott hotel
• Commercial space for a café, coffee house, and five microbusinesses
• Green roofs for additional stormwater management and habitat
• Surface parking on the northern site as well as underground parking south of the rail, which
leaves ground space for a “placemaking plaza” adjacent to the Wooddale LRT Station to
provide pedestrian-oriented multiuse space
At this time, redevelopment of the project site is estimated to be accomplished in 18 months
beginning in July 2017. Redevelopment of the project site will result in the creation of new access
drives, new or upgraded private utility connections to serve the project area, and limited
improvements to infrastructure and roadways in the immediate vicinity of the project area.
Any existing equipment will be removed from the site and disposed of according to all applicable
city, state and federal regulations. Two existing structures will be demolished and replaced by
new structures on the project site. These structures include the former McGarvey Coffee building
on the northern site and the Nash Frame, Hennepin County Library Storage and Tree Trust
structure on the southern site. See Question 12 for more details on these removals. Typical urban
development methods will be used and all wastes from construction will be reused or disposed of
according to all applicable city, state, and federal regulations. All construction wastes will be
removed and disposed of off-site according to all applicable city, state and federal regulations.

d. Explain the project purpose; if the project will be carried out by a governmental unit,
explain the need for the project and identify its beneficiaries.
PLACE, a 501(c)(3) is working closely with the City of St. Louis Park to develop a vacant
industrial site and municipal parking lot adjacent to the future Wooddale Avenue Station into a
landmark mixed-use, mixed-income community. The project includes 299 residential units, 200
of which will be restricted to households earning 60 percent or less of the area median incomes.
Of the 299 units, 99 will be designated as live-work space for artists. The project will generate
100 full time equivalent, living wage jobs, be home to at least 90 car-free households, and be
healthy for people and the planet with LEED certification across the site. In addition to LEED,
the project team is maximizing the sustainability potential for design, cleanup, construction and
operation to minimize the use of energy, water, materials and other resources, and to regenerate
the environment.
The program of mixed-income housing, live/work, local businesses, E-Generation, Mobility Plan,
and LEED is based on PLACE’s experience developing healthy, mixed-income communities, and

TOTAL 6.94 5.25
The current parcels, which total 6.94 acres, include the eastbound TH 7 on-ramp and the TH 7
Service Road. Through the platting of this project, public right of way will be dedicated to both of
those transportation facilities, and additional land will be platted as outlots with the purpose of
conveying it to the adjacent properties, including to the Cedar Lake LRT Regional Trail corridor.
Subtracting these right of way and outlot areas from the current parcel areas results in a final site area
of 5.25 acres.
Note: As described in Question 11a, a wetland that previously existed on the project site was filled
during the recent construction of the Wooddale Avenue bridge, an action unrelated to the proposed
project. The City of St. Louis Park and the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District are discussing
appropriate mitigation for this wetland. However, both have agreed that this is unrelated to the
proposed project and outside the scope of this environmental review.

9. Land use:
a. Describe:
i. Existing land use of the site as well as areas adjacent to and near the site, including
parks, trails, prime or unique farmlands.
St. Louis Park is a fully-developed suburb and no prime or unique farmlands are adjacent to
the project site. Portions of the site are currently vacant; other parcels contain the vacant
McGarvey coffee factory and a municipal parking lot. The project site is divided into
northern and southern parcels by the existing rail corridor and the Cedar Lake LRT
Regional Trail running parallel to the rail. Both northern and southern parcels on the project
site are adjacent to the future Southwest LRT Wooddale Avenue Station.
Land uses adjacent to the project site are transitioning from industrial and commercial uses
to higher-density mixed uses consistent with the Wooddale Avenue Station Area Plan.
Tower Light is a five-story senior living residential project across W. 36th Street from the
PLACE project. Hoigaard Village is a mixed-use, multi-building development on W. 36th
St. between Xenwood Ave. and Highway 100. The project includes four multi-family
residential buildings including a total of 420 apartment and townhome units constructed
between 2008 and 2013. The project also includes approximately 25,000 square feet of
ground-floor retail in one of the apartment buildings and a regional stormwater pond.
Cityscape Apartments is a five-story residential project immediately east of the PLACE
project’s northern site. The property immediately adjacent to the southern site is a one-story
commercial structure. See St. Louis Park 2008 Existing Land Use Map in Figure 8-1.

Cumulative Potential Effects
In addition to these existing structures, a development proposal for a six-story, mixed-use
residential and commercial project will be reviewed by the City of St. Louis Park City
Council in March 2017. The project, called The Elmwood, includes 85 residential units
restricted to ages 55+ and 4,400 square feet of commercial space. The project has been
recommended for approval by the City of St. Louis Park Planning Commission. Because
this project is consistent with land uses anticipated in the Wooddale Avenue Station Area
Plan and in the background traffic growth forecasted for the area analyzed in Question 18,
no cumulative potential effects are anticipated in relation to the proposed project.
ii. Plans. Describe planned land use as identified in comprehensive plan (if available)
and any other applicable plan for land use, water, or resources management by a
local, regional, state, or federal agency.
The project’s northern site is currently guided Office on the western portion of the site and
Business Park on the eastern portion in St. Louis Park’s 2030 Comprehensive Plan. The
southern site is currently guided Mixed Use in the Comprehensive Plan. See Figure 8-2.
The Wooddale Avenue Station Area Plan produced by Hennepin County identifies the
parcels in the PLACE project as development opportunities for Multi-Family Residential,
Mixed-Use Residential, and Retail and other Commercial.
The City of St. Louis Park and Hennepin County produced the Elmwood Area Land Use,
Transit and Transportation Study in 2003. The study recommends redeveloping the
McGarvey Coffee site (northern parcel of proposed project site) to High Density Multiple
Family Residential. The study contemplated low density office use or related professional
services that would generate low vehicle trips on the west side of the northern site. It noted
that building design and finish was important given the gateway nature of this site these
parcels.
iii. Zoning, including special districts or overlays such as shoreland, floodplain, wild and
scenic rivers, critical area, agricultural preserves, etc.
The Proposer has submitted a PUD application to the City of St. Louis Park to rezone this
property. Current zoning, depicted in Figure 8-3 includes:
• I-G (north parcels) The purpose of the I-G general industrial district is to provide
locations for large and small scale industrial enterprises engaged in such activities as
manufacturing, processing, assembly, storage and warehousing.
• C-2 (south parcels west of Yosemite) The purposes of the C-2 general commercial
district are to: (1) Allow the concentration of general commercial development for
convenience of the public and mutually beneficial relationship to each other in those
areas located away from residential areas designated by the comprehensive plan; (2)
Provide space for community facilities and institutions that appropriately may be
located in commercial areas; (3) Provide adequate space to meet the needs of modem
commercial development, including off-street parking and truck loading areas; (4)
Minimize traffic congestion; and (5) Carefully regulate the intensity of commercial
development as it refers to both internal site factors and external impacts.

• I-P (south parcels east of Yosemite) The purpose of the I-P industrial park district is to
provide locations for large and small scale industrial enterprises engaged in such
activities as assembly, storage, warehousing and light manufacturing which are not
typically associated with high levels of noise, soot, odors and other potential nuisance
impacts upon adjoining properties in an industrial park setting. The requirements of this
district include relatively low maximum floor area and impervious surface ratios.
• No overlay district
b. Discuss the project’s compatibility with nearby land uses, zoning, and plans listed in Item
9a above, concentrating on implications for environmental effects.
The project is compatible with nearby land uses and with land uses planned in anticipation of the
2021 opening of the Southwest LRT. As described in the Wooddale Avenue Station Area Plan,
the area immediately surrounding the station is expected to transition to higher-density, mixed
uses with more residential and commercial components than what has been historically present in
this vicinity. The Proposer has applied for a PUD to the City of St. Louis Park and a
comprehensive plan amendment to reguide the property as mixed use to reflect these trends.
The northern parcel on the project’s site plan is compatible with its eastern neighbor, the
CityScape Apartments. The proposed project’s primary residential structure is sited immediately
adjacent to that use. The project’s E-Generation facility is located at the corner of TH 7 and
Wooddale Ave and is not immediately adjacent to any commercial or residential buildings,
minimizing impacts of this facility to surrounding properties. The E-Generation facility is
compatible with uses identified in the Elmwood Area Land Use, Transit and Transportation
Study, as it provides architecturally unique features to the project, has minimal traffic impact, and
will provide environmentally sustainable energy resources to the overall project.
On the project site’s southern parcel, increased commercial activity is compatible with
commercial uses immediately east of the site. Commercial components on the southern site
include street-level commercial/retail space, including a shared workshop maker space, a shared
office co-working space, a coffee house, a café, five small business storefronts and a 110-room
select services hotel. These components will be owned by PLACE to guarantee public benefit
consistent with PLACE’s 501(c)(3) mission; lessees will be selected for financial strength,
compatibility with existing local businesses, and contributions to local benefit (for example,
employers committing to priority hiring from the immediate area).
The project will support transit ridership on the Southwest LRT via the adjacent Wooddale
Avenue Station by increasing density around the station and transforming vacant parcels into
active residential and commercial uses.
c. Identify measures incorporated into the proposed project to mitigate any potential
incompatibility as discussed in Item 9b above.
The project incorporates several measures to minimize traffic impacts on adjacent properties and
promote bicycle and transit ridership, described in Question 18.

10. Geology, soils and topography/land forms:
a. Geology - Describe the geology underlying the project area and identify and map any
susceptible geologic features such as sinkholes, shallow limestone formations,
unconfined/shallow aquifers, or karst conditions. Discuss any limitations of these features
for the project and any effects the project could have on these features. Identify any project
designs or mitigation measures to address effects to geologic features.
Depth to bedrock at the project site is estimated to vary between 75 feet and 125 feet, based on
the Hennepin County Geologic Atlas and examination of nearby well records in the Minnesota
Well Index. The first bedrock unit encountered is the Platteville Limestone, which is present at
approximately 5 to 20 feet in thickness at or near the project site. The bedrock is overlain by a
mixture of unconsolidated drift deposits containing sand, gravel, and clay. The water table is
approximately 25 to35 feet in depth at the site, indicating that the bedrock layers are fully
saturated at all times.
While the uppermost bedrock is carbonate in nature, the likelihood for karst is fairly low. Karst
conditions are more prevalent in areas where the depth to the carbonate bedrock is less than 50
feet and where the top of the water table fluctuates within the bedrock layer. Neither of these
conditions are encountered at the project site.
No geologic features have been identified that are likely to require any modifications to project
designs or mitigation measures.
b. Soils and topography - Describe the soils on the site, giving NRCS (SCS) classifications and
descriptions, including limitations of soils. Describe topography, any special site conditions
relating to erosion potential, soil stability or other soils limitations, such as steep slopes,
highly permeable soils. Provide estimated volume and acreage of soil excavation and/or
grading. Discuss impacts from project activities (distinguish between construction and
operational activities) related to soils and topography. Identify measures during and after
project construction to address soil limitations including stabilization, soil corrections or
other measures. Erosion/sedimentation control related to stormwater runoff should be
addressed in response to Item 11.b.ii.
The Web Soil Survey classifies the entire project site as “urban land, Udipsamments”
(classification code U4A). The February 2016 American Engineering Testing, Inc (AET)
Preliminary Report of Geotechnical Exploration and Review and the October 2016 AET Report
of Geotechnical Exploration and Review references test borings in the project site indicating that
the upper 1 to 19 feet from the land surface is comprised of fill material. The fill in the northern
site consists of mostly clayey sand and silty sand with some fill containing non-soil material. A
petroleum-type odor was observed at multiple test boring locations. The fill in the southern site
consists of mostly silty sand, clayey sand, and sandy lean clay. Slab-on-grade building on the
existing fill are not recommended without additional foundational support. Underlying fill for the
northern and southern sites was predominately coarse alluvium.
Gentle slopes in the project site result in a relatively low erosion potential during both
construction and operational activities. The existing and newly installed catch basins in the
project site will be protected with appropriate erosion and sediment control devices during
construction to limit erosion and potential runoff to surface water bodies until permanent erosion
control measures are established. The mitigation strategies in Question 11.b.ii discuss methods to
limit erosion and runoff.
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 8a)
Title: PLACE St. Louis Park EAW Finding of Fact and Record of Decision Page 69
page 11
Groundwater was encountered in four of the 25 test boring with depths ranging from
approximately 23.5 to 37.5 feet below grade. The on-site coarse alluvial soils are predominately
fast draining sands. A contaminated groundwater plume limits the ability to infiltrate stormwater
in portions of the northern site and the entire southern site. The groundwater plume is discussed
in greater detail in Question 12.
The PLACE project will disturb approximately 6.35 acres of land between the northern and
southern sites and will result in net 32,680 cubic yards of excavated, or cut material. This excess
material will be used on other active construction sites in the area. Areas of existing fill on the
site will require soil corrections for geotechnical purposes prior to constructing the buildings. It is
anticipated that areas of existing fill will be reused on site outside of the building footprints.
Cumulative Potential Effects
Cumulative potential effects are not anticipated. No geologic features have been identified that
are likely to require any modifications to project designs or mitigation measures. Gentle slopes in
the PLACE project area result in a relatively low erosion potential during both construction and
operational activities.
11. Water resources:
a. Describe surface water and groundwater features on or near the site in a.i. and a.ii. below.
i. Surface water - lakes, streams, wetlands, intermittent channels, and county/judicial
ditches. Include any special designations such as public waters, trout stream/lake,
wildlife lakes, migratory waterfowl feeding/resting lake, and outstanding resource value
water. Include water quality impairments or special designations listed on the current
MPCA 303d Impaired Waters List that are within 1 mile of the project. Include DNR
Public Waters Inventory number(s), if any.
The project site does not contain any surface waters. No wetlands are indicated on National
Wetland Inventory mapping, and no DNR Public Waters are identified. A wetland is
indicated on the Hennepin County Wetland Inventory mapping. This wetland was previously
filled during the construction of the Wooddale Avenue bridge that crosses TH 7. The project
site drains to the east into Bass Lake, and it is within 1 mile of Minnehaha Creek which is
identified as an impaired water with an EPA-approved TMDL on the MPCA 303d Impaired
Waters List.
ii. Groundwater – aquifers, springs, seeps. Include: 1) depth to groundwater; 2) if project
is within a MDH wellhead protection area; 3) identification of any onsite and/or nearby
wells, including unique numbers and well logs if available. If there are no wells known
on site or nearby, explain the methodology used to determine this.
Depth to groundwater at the project site is approximately 25 to 35 feet, based on soil boring
and nearby well logs.
The project site is overlapped by the Drinking Water Supply Management Areas (DWSMAs)
for the Wellhead Protection Plans of the cities of St. Louis Park and Edina. The DWSMA for
Edina is largely considered to be non-vulnerable across the project site, while the DWSMA
for St. Louis Park is considered to be vulnerable. Differing methods to establish vulnerability
may have been employed, while other factors (such as age dating testing of the water) may
have resulted in different vulnerability levels for each community. The geologic sensitivity
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 8a)
Title: PLACE St. Louis Park EAW Finding of Fact and Record of Decision Page 70
page 12
map for the Prairie du Chien-Jordan aquifer in the Hennepin County Atlas identifies the
project site as ranging between “moderate” and “low” sensitivity.
Proposed project activities and planned land uses are believed to pose relatively low threat to
bedrock aquifers that supply the City’s drinking water wells. The depth to these aquifers is
approximately 260 to 280 feet at the project site, with multiple bedrock layers and confining
units between the land surface and these bedrock aquifers. The shallow water table aquifer is
more susceptible in the project area, with depth to groundwater 25 to 35 feet below the land
surface. While the water table aquifer is rarely used as a drinking water resource in this area,
contaminated water could eventually infiltrate to deeper aquifers over time. To further reduce
the threat to groundwater resources, mitigation measures will include storing fuels and fuel-
containing equipment over impervious surface during site construction activities, with
containment available to capture leaks and spills before they infiltrate into soils. Any
observed leaks and spills will be reported immediately to the Minnesota Duty Officer, so any
required investigation and cleanup activities can be conducted with State supervision.
An examination of the Minnesota Well Index database identifies that two test and observation
wells are located on the project site (with unique numbers 149711 and 216060). A third
monitoring well (unique number 780548) is shown by the Minnesota Well Index to
potentially be on the project site, although accurate coordinates for this well are not available.
These wells are further discussed in Question 11.b.iii.
b. Describe effects from project activities on water resources and measures to minimize or
mitigate the effects in Item b.i. through Item b.iv. below.
i. Wastewater - For each of the following, describe the sources, quantities and
composition of all sanitary, municipal/domestic and industrial wastewater produced
or treated at the site.
1) If the wastewater discharge is to a publicly owned treatment facility, identify
any pretreatment measures and the ability of the facility to handle the added
water and waste loadings, including any effects on, or required expansion of,
municipal wastewater infrastructure.
The E-generation facility will produce a maximum volume of 1000 gallons per day of
wastewater from dewatering of the digested organic solids (the digested food waste
coming out of the anaerobic digester system). Some of this wastewater will be used
in the on-site greenhouse but the majority will be discharged to the publicly owned
sanitary sewer system. This sewer system connects to the MCES interceptor system
which discharges to the Metro Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF) in St. Paul.
The Metro WWTF treats about 250 million gallons per day, with the capacity to treat
300 million gallons per day. The wastewater is expected to contain less than 100 mg/l
Total Suspended Solids and less than 100 mg/l Biochemical Oxygen Demand, tested
over five days (BOD5). The wastewater is expected to contain very high
concentrations of ammonia-nitrogen and phosphorus. However, due to the very low
volume of wastewater, the total amount of ammonia and phosphorus discharged to
the sanitary system will be minimal. No pretreatment of the wastewater is needed
prior to discharge to the public sanitary sewer.

Title: PLACE St. Louis Park EAW Finding of Fact and Record of Decision Page 71
page 13
2) If the wastewater discharge is to a subsurface sewage treatment systems (SSTS),
describe the system used, the design flow, and suitability of site conditions for
such a system.
Not applicable.
3) If the wastewater discharge is to surface water, identify the wastewater
treatment methods and identify discharge points and proposed effluent
limitations to mitigate impacts. Discuss any effects to surface or groundwater
from wastewater discharges.
Not applicable.
ii. Stormwater - Describe the quantity and quality of stormwater runoff at the site
prior to and post construction. Include the routes and receiving water bodies for
runoff from the site (major downstream water bodies as well as the immediate
receiving waters). Discuss any environmental effects from stormwater discharges.
Describe stormwater pollution prevention plans including temporary and
permanent runoff controls and potential BMP site locations to manage or treat
stormwater runoff. Identify specific erosion control, sedimentation control or
stabilization measures to address soil limitations during and after project
construction.
Stormwater runoff from the project site is directed north to the MnDOT trunk storm
system via pipes and catch basins from the northern site, and to the W. 35th Street and the
W. 36th Street storm systems from the southern site. The north site drains to an existing
MnDOT pond to the east then is conveyed through storm sewer to Bass Lake. The south
site drains to an existing city pond, then is conveyed through storm sewer to Bass Lake.
Runoff from both the north and south sites will be treated on-site prior to discharging to
downstream waters. The entire project site will be managed by gravity systems that will
convey runoff to the east.
Stormwater management on the project site is regulated by the City of St. Louis Park,
Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD), and the State of Minnesota. The City
requires that the post-redevelopment 100-year stormwater runoff peak rates be no more
that the pre-redevelopment 10-year stormwater runoff peak rates. The MCWD permits no
increase in stormwater rates over existing conditions for the 1-, 10-, and 100-year storm
events, using rainfall depths and Type II distribution from National Weather Service
Technical Paper No. 40 (TP-40). Both the City and MCWD require stormwater
abstraction in the amount of 1.0-inch of runoff over the impervious surfaces. This can be
achieved in aggregate over the north and south sites. The City requires no net increase
over existing conditions for total suspended solids (TSS) and total phosphorus (TP). The
MCWD requires that, in areas where it is infeasible to meet the MCWD volume control
standard, that phosphorus control be provided in the amount equivalent to that which
would be achieved through the abstraction of 1.0-inch of rainfall from the site’s
impervious surfaces. The NPDES Stormwater Permit requires treatment of 1.0-inch of
runoff from new impervious areas, if more than one acre of new impervious area is
created. The NPDES Stormwater Permit also requires temporary erosion and sediment
control measures be implemented.
A hydrologic analysis was performed for the project site. The total drainage area is 6.10
acres and includes disturbed areas outside of the property boundaries. The total proposed
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 8a)
Title: PLACE St. Louis Park EAW Finding of Fact and Record of Decision Page 72
page 14
impervious area within the drainage area is 4.04 acres, or approximately 66 percent of the
total area. The north site has a total area of 4.14 acres, and 2.58 of those acres are routed
to Best Management Practices (BMP), including a tree trench, green roof, iron-enhanced
sand filtration, and stormwater reuse. The south site has a total area of 1.96 acres, and
approximately 1.15 acres are routed to BMPs including green roofs, permeable pavement,
and inline storm sewer filtration. A hydrologic model of the proposed north site provides
a 100-year runoff rate of 13.1 cfs. This is based on the TP-40 100-year, 24-hour rainfall
of 6.0 inches. The City’s rate control requirement calls for maximum runoff rate of 17.7
cfs, which corresponds to the runoff rate of the 10-year rain event under existing
conditions. The south site drains to an existing stormwater pond to the east, and rate
control is assumed to be provided by this pond.
The north site includes four proposed BMPs. The northwest area includes two proposed
BMPs, iron enhanced filtration and stormwater reuse. Most of the proposed parking lot
will be routed to an iron enhanced filtration basin, while the roof drainage from the
proposed building will be routed to an aboveground cistern for reuse. The remaining
northwest area will be routed directly to the storm sewer system. The northeast area
includes two proposed BMPs, green roof and tree trench infiltration. The proposed
building will include a green roof BMP. The roof drainage and the area south of the
building will be routed to a large tree trench infiltration system. The tree trench will be a
feature of the urban forest. The tree trench will include an elevated drain tile that will
convey any outflows to the west to connect to the storm sewer system.
The southern site includes four BMPs: two green roofs, permeable pavers, and an inline
storm sewer filtration structure. The two proposed buildings will each include a green
roof system. Each green roof will be routed to the permeable paver system for additional
treatment. The permeable paver system will discharge to the existing W. 36th Street
storm sewer system. The north portion of this area will be routed to the east to connect to
the existing storm sewer system along W. 35th Street. Prior to discharging off-site, the
storm sewer flows will be routed through a structural filtration system to provide
additional water quality treatment.
Temporary erosion and sediment control measures will also be provided during the site
construction. Such measures will include storm drain inlet protection, construction
entrance protection, silt fence, sediment basins, and designated concrete washout areas.
iii. Water appropriation - Describe if the project proposes to appropriate surface or
groundwater (including dewatering). Describe the source, quantity, duration, use
and purpose of the water use and if a DNR water appropriation permit is required.
Describe any well abandonment. If connecting to an existing municipal water
supply, identify the wells to be used as a water source and any effects on, or
required expansion of, municipal water infrastructure. Discuss environmental
effects from water appropriation, including an assessment of the water resources
available for appropriation. Identify any measures to avoid, minimize, or mitigate
environmental effects from the water appropriation.
The project will generate an estimated annual water demand of 14.3 million gallons per
year to serve residential and commercial needs. All water will be obtained from a
connection to the City of St. Louis Park’s municipal water supply system. The City
currently operates 10 municipal water supply wells, 9 of which are used for primary
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 8a)
Title: PLACE St. Louis Park EAW Finding of Fact and Record of Decision Page 73
page 15
water supply, with the remaining well used as an emergency backup well. The wells
obtain their water from the Prairie du Chien, Jordan, and Mt. Simon aquifers. The system
has a firm capacity of 12.24 MGD (million gallons per day).
The City of St. Louis Park’s water supply system is currently permitted to pump 2.5
billion gallons per year. Current water usage for the past five years has ranged between
2.0-2.2 billion gallons per year. The City is currently in the process of updating its DNR
Water Supply Plan to develop water use projections for the next ten years. This will
determine if the overall demands over the next decade will require an increase in the
water appropriations permit. Regardless, the City has sufficient capacity to meet current
and projected demands with existing wells. No other wells are anticipated to be drilled in
the future, unless one of the current wells exhibits a problem and would need to be
replaced. The following table shows the addition usage that the project would add to the
City’s water supply system:
Table 11-1 Water Use Summary
Total Firm System Capacity (MGD) 12.24
City Peak Usage (MGD), 2015-2016 average 8.50
Current Capacity Available (MGD) 3.74
Proposed Project Usage, Peak Day (MGD) 0.10
Projected Total City Usage, Peak Day (MGD) 8.60
Capacity Available (Post-Construction) (MGD) 3.64
Percent of Total System Utilized 70.26%
As part of the City of St. Louis Park’s DNR water appropriation permit, the city is
required to demonstrate that groundwater withdrawals are sustainable and do not have a
negative impact on groundwater-dependent natural resources or other nearby well
owners. When a new well is to be constructed or appropriations increased, the DNR will
identify any potential concerns and outline any required testing or studies to demonstrate
that any impacts are negligible.
At present, it is believed that the depths of the City’s existing wells do not place them in
direct connection with sensitive natural resources (wetlands, fens, trout streams, etc.) and
therefore the risk of impacts is relatively low. However, cumulative groundwater
withdrawals across the Twin Cities area are a source of concern for water appropriation
permitting. Any amendments to the DNR water appropriation permit may take into
account region-wide trends that call for greater water conservation measures.
No active water supply wells are believed to be located on the project site. An
examination of the Minnesota Well Index database identifies that two test and
observation wells are located on the project site (with unique numbers 149711 and
216060). A third monitoring well (unique number 780548) is shown by the Minnesota
Well Index to potentially be on the project site, although accurate coordinates for the well
are not available. Other groundwater wells may potentially be on the project that are not
in the State’s database, but may be encountered during project construction activities. It is
assumed any unsealed wells will be sealed as part of the project development, unless they
are still required for investigational purposes. In that case, the wells will either need to be
retained (if possible) or re-drilled in a nearby location to provide comparable information.
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 8a)
Title: PLACE St. Louis Park EAW Finding of Fact and Record of Decision Page 74

No dewatering is expected as part of the project activities. Groundwater depth is believed
to be below the maximum depth of any planned excavations (20 feet).
iv. Surface Waters
a) Wetlands - Describe any anticipated physical effects or alterations to wetland
features such as draining, filling, permanent inundation, dredging and
vegetative removal. Discuss direct and indirect environmental effects from
physical modification of wetlands, including the anticipated effects that any
proposed wetland alterations may have to the host watershed. Identify
measures to avoid (e.g., available alternatives that were considered), minimize,
or mitigate environmental effects to wetlands. Discuss whether any required
compensatory wetland mitigation for unavoidable wetland impacts will occur in
the same minor or major watershed, and identify those probable locations.
One potential wetland has been identified in the project site through the Hennepin
County Wetland Inventory mapping. This wetland was filled during the construction
of the Wooddale Avenue bridge and is no longer on site. A replacement plan
application was submitted and approved in 2009 that gave replacement
responsibilities to the City.
b) Other surface waters- Describe any anticipated physical effects or alterations to
surface water features (lakes, streams, ponds, intermittent channels,
county/judicial ditches) such as draining, filling, permanent inundation,
dredging, diking, stream diversion, impoundment, aquatic plant removal and
riparian alteration. Discuss direct and indirect environmental effects from
physical modification of water features. Identify measures to avoid, minimize, or
mitigate environmental effects to surface water features, including in-water Best
Management Practices that are proposed to avoid or minimize
turbidity/sedimentation while physically altering the water features. Discuss
how the project will change the number or type of watercraft on any water
body, including current and projected watercraft usage.
No surface water features have been identified on the project site.
Cumulative Potential Effects
Cumulative potential effects are not anticipated.
The project site does not contain any surface waters or wetlands.
Proposed project activities and planned land uses are believed to pose relatively low threat to
bedrock aquifers that supply the City’s drinking water wells. The depth to these aquifers is
approximately 260 to 280 feet at the project site, with multiple bedrock layers and confining units
between the land surface and these bedrock aquifers. supervision.
No pretreatment of wastewater from the project’s E-generation facility is needed prior to
discharge to the public sanitary sewer.
Both the City and MCWD require stormwater abstraction in the amount of 1.0-inch of runoff over
the impervious surfaces. This can be achieved in aggregate over the north and south sites.

page 17
The City has sufficient capacity to meet current and projected demands with existing wells. No
other wells are anticipated to be drilled in the future, unless one of the current wells exhibits a
problem and would need to be replaced. At present, it is believed that the depths of the City’s
existing wells do not place them in direct connection with sensitive natural resources (wetlands,
fens, trout streams, etc.) and therefore the risk of impacts is relatively low.
12. Contamination/Hazardous Materials/Wastes:
a. Pre-project site conditions - Describe existing contamination or potential environmental
hazards on or in close proximity to the project site such as soil or ground water
contamination, abandoned dumps, closed landfills, existing or abandoned storage tanks,
and hazardous liquid or gas pipelines. Discuss any potential environmental effects from pre-
project site conditions that would be caused or exacerbated by project construction and
operation. Identify measures to avoid, minimize or mitigate adverse effects from existing
contamination or potential environmental hazards. Include development of a Contingency
Plan or Response Action Plan.
Phase I environmental site assessments (ESAs) were completed for the Northern Parcels (5925
Highway 7, 5815 Highway 7, 5725 Highway 7, and 3520 Yosemite Avenue) in July 2015 and the
Southern Parcels (3548 Xenwood Avenue South, 3565 Wooddale Avenue, 3575 Wooddale
Avenue, 5816 36th Street West, 5814 36th Street West, and Right-of-Way) in September 2016.
Recognized Environmental Conditions (RECs) identified on the Northern Parcel include: St. Louis
Park Solvent Plume; Abandoned Rail Ties; Documented Releases On Site; and Documented Soil
Contamination. RECs identified on the Southern Parcel include: St. Louis Park Solvent Plume;
Evidence of Undocumented Fill; Documented Soil Contamination; and Evidence of Buried Debris.
In response to the identified RECs, Barr completed Phase II ESAs for the Northern and Southern
Parcels in September 2016. Results of the Northern Parcel investigation indicated that arsenic
soil concentrations at three locations and diesel range organics (DRO) concentrations at eight
locations exceeded their respective MPCA criteria. Soil gas concentrations were compared to the
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency’s (MPCA’s) 10 times residential intrusion screening values
(10X ISVs). Analytical results indicate that soil gas concentrations at four locations exceeded the
10X ISVs for one or more of the following compounds: 1,3-butadiene, chloroform, carbon
tetrachloride, ethyl benzene and xylenes. Results of the Southern Parcel investigation indicated
exceedances of the screening Soil Leaching Values (SLVs) for arsenic, cadmium, silver at one
location and tetrachloroethylene (PCE) in two locations. The results also indicate exceedances of
the residential Soil Reference Values (SRVs) for arsenic, cadmium, and lead in soil samples
collected from one location. Elevated DRO concentrations were also present beneath the building.
Soil gas concentrations were compared to the MPCA’s 10X ISVs. Analytical results indicate that
soil gas concentrations at four locations exceeded the 10X ISVs for one or more of the following
compounds: 1,3-butadiene, benzene, trichloroethylene (TCE) and PCE. Based on the elevated soil
gas concentrations detected across the project site and the impacted groundwater located beneath
the project site, vapor mitigation for future buildings on the project site is necessary to minimize
the potential release of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) via the soil gas pathway to the indoor
air.
In response to the identified contamination, Barr prepared Response Action Plans (RAPs) for the
Northern and Southern Parcels in September 2016. The RAP for the Northern Parcels will
consist of excavating and disposing contaminated materials off the project site, including residual
impacts that may be detected around the abandoned in-place underground storage tanks. The
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 8a)
Title: PLACE St. Louis Park EAW Finding of Fact and Record of Decision Page 76
page 18
excavation will be backfilled with clean soil to accommodate the development and a vapor
mitigation system will be designed for the proposed building. The RAP for the Southern Parcels
consists of excavating and disposing contaminated soils off- site, backfilling the excavations with
clean soil to accommodate the development, and designing and installing a vapor mitigation
system for the proposed building
Existing buildings on the project site will be demolished. As the request of Barr, Environmental
Health Testing Services (EHTS) conducted a pre-demolition asbestos and regulated building
survey for the former McGarvey Coffee Plant, former Nash Frame Design, Hennepin County
Library and Tree Trust buildings in September 2016. The surveys identified asbestos containing
materials (ACMs) and regulated building materials. The identified ACMs and regulated building
materials will be removed prior to building demolition in accordance to applicable state and
federal laws.
b. Project related generation/storage of solid wastes - Describe solid wastes generated/stored
during construction and/or operation of the project. Indicate method of disposal. Discuss
potential environmental effects from solid waste handling, storage and disposal. Identify
measures to avoid, minimize or mitigate adverse effects from the generation/storage of solid
waste including source reduction and recycling.
Solid waste is a common occurrence on construction projects. The waste generated during
demolition will consist of wood, metal, brick, black, concrete, and other typical building
materials. All hazardous and regulated materials will be removed before demolition commences.
During demolition, materials will be segregated as best as possible into 3 categories; clean
concrete/brick, scrap metal, construction/demolition debris. The clean concrete or brick will be
crushed and re-used on site, or hauled to a recycling facility for use on other projects. The metal
will be processed and delivered to a salvage yard for reuse. The construction/demolition debris
will be hauled to a licensed landfill for disposal. Material will be reused as appropriate according
to MPCA guidance. Excess or material not meeting MPCA solid waste beneficial uses will be
disposed of in accordance with state and federal requirements.
Rough quantities for demolition include:
• Northern Parcels - 900 cy demo debris, 1700 cy concrete/block, 200 tons metal
• Southern Parcels - 700 cy demo debris, 500 cy concrete/block, 30 tons metal
Solid waste generated during operations may include paper, plastic, food, glass, tin and wood.
Solid waste will be stored in appropriate containers and licensed commercial waste haulers will
be contracted to properly dispose of the solid wastes that cannot be recycled. Recycling will be
strongly encouraged during construction and operation phases, and implementation will be the
responsibility of the developer and/or the construction contractor.
Operation of the E-Generation facility will include temporary short term storage of food waste
from on-site sources in 60 gallon containers designed for such wastes. The containers of food
waste will be emptied into the digester system at an average rate of about 2 containers per hour.
The digested food waste discharge from the anaerobic digester will be dewatered on site. The E-
Generation facility will house storage space for dewatered digested food waste solids. The
dewatered digested food waste will be sold or given to organic farmers for soil amendment. A
small amount of these organic solids will be used on-site in the greenhouse. At system design
capacity, the facility will produce 357 lbs/day of dewatered organic solids (35% total solids
content).

c. Project related use/storage of hazardous materials - Describe chemicals/hazardous
materials used/stored during construction and/or operation of the project including method
of storage. Indicate the number, location and size of any above or below ground tanks to
store petroleum or other materials. Discuss potential environmental effects from accidental
spill or release of hazardous materials. Identify measures to avoid, minimize or mitigate
adverse effects from the use/storage of chemicals/hazardous materials including source
reduction and recycling. Include development of a spill prevention plan.
Chemicals/hazardous materials anticipated to be present on-site during construction include
petroleum products such as gasoline and other engine fluids for maintaining construction
equipment, and materials used in construction including paints, adhesives and other building
products. No above or underground ground storage tanks are anticipated for use during or after
the construction project. Any hazardous materials used during construction will be stored in
leak-proof containers and secured while not in use. The contractor will be responsible for
ensuring safe handling of any chemicals/hazardous materials during the construction.
The only hazardous wastes expected to be used during commercial/household operations are
universal wastes and very small quantities of cleaning and maintenance products. All wastes will
be disposed of according to applicable law(s).

13. Fish, wildlife, plant communities, and sensitive ecological resources (rare features):
a. Describe fish and wildlife resources as well as habitats and vegetation on or in near the site.
A detailed description of the land cover within the project site is provided in Question 7. Due to
the lack of wetlands or surface waters present, the project site does not contain suitable habitat for
aquatic species. The project site is primarily developed (i.e., impervious area). Isolated trees and
unmaintained grass areas (.57 acre) within the project site, primarily found north of Cedar Lake
LRT Regional Trail, provide limited habitat for urban wildlife species such as mice, rabbits,
raccoons, squirrels, and song birds, among others.
b. Describe rare features such as state-listed (endangered, threatened or special concern) species,
native plant communities, Minnesota County Biological Survey Sites of Biodiversity
Significance, and other sensitive ecological resources on or within close proximity to the site.
Provide the license agreement number (LA-____) and/or correspondence number (ERDB
_____________) from which the data were obtained and attach the Natural Heritage letter from
the DNR. Indicate if any additional habitat or species survey work has been conducted within
the site and describe the results.
Federally Listed Threatened and Endangered Species
Per a review of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s (USFWS’s) Endangered Species website 1,
there are four federally listed species with a geographic range including Hennepin County:
• Higgins eye pearlymussel (Lampsilis higginsii) – Endangered
• Northern long-eared bat (NLEB; Myotis septentrionalis) – Threatened
• Rusty patched bumble bee (RPBB; Bombus affinis) – Endangered
• Snuffbox (Epioblasma triquetra) – Endangered
Due to the lack of wetlands or surface waters present in the project site, no further investigation
or an assessment of potential impacts to the Higgins eye pearlymussel or snuffbox was
conducted.
In the winter, NLEB hibernate in large caves and mines that have large passages and entrances,
constant temperatures, and high humidity with no air currents. No caves or structures are present
within the project site that would provide suitable winter habitat for this species.
In the spring, summer and fall, NLEB use a wide variety of forested habitats for roosting,
foraging and traveling, and may also utilize some adjacent and interspersed non-forested habitat
such as emergent wetlands and edges of fields. This species has also been found roosting in
structures like barns and sheds (particularly when suitable tree roosts are unavailable; USFWS
2016b). Roosting habitat includes forested areas with live trees and/or snags with a diameter at
breast height (dbh) of at least three inches with exfoliating bark, cracks, crevices and/or other
cavities. Trees are considered suitable roost trees if they meet those requirements and are located
within 1,000 feet of another suitable roost tree, woodlot, or wooded fencerow (USFWS 2016b).
Maternity habitat is defined as suitable summer habitat that is used by juveniles and reproductive
females. After hibernation ends in late March or early April, most NLEB migrate to summer

roosts. The NLEB active season is the period between emergence and hibernation from April 1 –
October 31 (USFWS 2016b). Woodland in and near the project site was assessed for bat summer
habitat suitability (i.e., non-winter) using published literature on home range size (Owen et al.
2003 2, Carter and Feldhamer 2005 3, Lacki et al. 2009 4) and USFWS guidance on the NLEB
(USFWS 2016b). Due to the small number (<15 acres) of trees within the project site or lack of
connectivity (i.e., <1,000 feet) to foraging/roosting areas, the project site does not likely contain
suitable summer habitat for the NLEB.
However, little is known about the migration patterns of bats, specifically how they disperse
across the landscape during migration. Therefore, it is not possible to accurately predict an
individual bat’s route during migration. Based on this, NLEB have the potential to exist anywhere
within the species’ geographic range, including the trees within the project site.
Direct mortality from collision with construction equipment is unlikely given that construction
activities will occur during daylight hours when bats would not be active. However, tree clearing
within the project site may indirectly affect the NLEB. Per a review of the USFWS’s White-Nose
Syndrome (WNS) Zone map dated August 31, 20165, Hennepin County, Minnesota is located
within 150 miles of a location where WNS has been detected. Therefore, the project site falls
within the WNS buffer zone per the Final 4(d) Rule under the Endangered Species Act (ESA).
For areas within the WNS buffer zone, the incidental take (e.g., the harm, harassment or killing of
a bat as a side effect of otherwise lawful actions, like tree clearing) from tree removal activities is
not prohibited unless 1) it results in removing a known occupied maternity roost tree, 2) if tree
removal activities occur within 150 feet of a known occupied maternity roost tree from June 1
through July 31, or 3) tree removal activities occur within 0.25 mile of a hibernaculum at any
time. Tree removal activities may then proceed without a permit and there is no need to contact
the USFWS.
Due diligence is generally required to determine if a maternity roost tree or a hibernaculum is on
the property; however, per the Final 4(d) Rule, private landowners are not required to conduct
surveys on their lands. In Minnesota, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MNDNR)
maintains records of maternity roost trees or a hibernaculum within its Natural Heritage Inventory
System (NHIS) database.
Based upon a guidance document issued by the MNDNR and the USFWS on April 1, 2016 6,
there is one known NLEB record within Hennepin County: a hibernaculum located more than six
miles east of the project site. As there are no records of NLEB maternity roost trees or a
hibernaculum within the project site or a 0.25-mile buffer, incidental take of NLEB as a result of
tree removal activities is not prohibited under the Final 4(d) Rule under the ESA.

The RPBB is known to inhabit prairies, grasslands, wetlands, woodlands, agricultural areas, and
residential parks and gardens 7. It is active from April to September, and needs a constant source
of floral resources throughout that time period.
Although woodland and maintained grassland is present, due to the lack of prairies, wetlands,
residential parks and gardens, it is unlikely the project site contains suitable habitat for the RPBB.
Migratory Birds
Construction activities and development within the project site have the potential to impact birds
protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA). The MBTA makes it illegal for anyone
to take (i.e., to harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, or collect, or to
attempt to engage in any such conduct) any migratory bird, or the parts, nests, or eggs of such a
bird except under the terms of a valid permit issued pursuant to Federal regulations.
Under the MBTA, construction activities in grassland, roadsides, wetland, riparian (stream),
shrubland, or woodland habitats that would otherwise result in the taking of migratory birds,
eggs, young and/or active nests should be avoided. Although the provisions of the MBTA are
applicable throughout the entire year, most migratory bird nesting activity in Minnesota occurs
approximately from mid-March to August 15, per the MNDNR 8.
According to the USFWS Information for Planning and Conservation (IPaC) Database 9, there are
22 migratory birds of concern with the potential to be present within the project site.
State-Listed Threatened and Endangered Species
Based upon a review of the MNDNR NHIS database under license agreement LA-760, there are
no known records of state-listed species within the project site or a 1-mile buffer.
In addition, an analysis of Minnesota Biological Survey (MBS) data, there are no mapped high
quality plant communities or MNDNR-mapped Sites of Biodiversity Significance within the
Project site or the immediate vicinity. A desktop review of the MNDNR’s Regionally Significant
Ecological Areas map (2003) indicates that no portions of the project site have been mapped as
areas of ecological biodiversity.
No protected species surveys within the project site were completed due to the prominence of
developed land and lack of high quality plant communities.
c. Discuss how the identified fish, wildlife, plant communities, rare features and ecosystems may
be affected by the project. Include a discussion on introduction and spread of invasive species
from the project construction and operation. Separately discuss effects to known threatened
and endangered species.

Potential Impacts
This project site analysis determined that proposed activities will not have a significant adverse effect
on federally or state-listed threatened and endangered species within the project site. In addition, the
project will not result in impacts to aquatic species.
A small number of trees are present within the project site, which may be utilized by NLEB. Under
the Final 4(d) Rule of the ESA, tree clearing is not prohibited as there are no records of NLEB
maternity roost trees or a hibernaculum within the project site or a 0.25-mile buffer.
The RPBB may occur in the woodland present at the project site, and more of this species may be
drawn to the project site following the development of residential parks and gardens. To
minimize impacts to the RPBB, native plants which are beneficial to pollinators will be used for
landscaping, including areas such as the urban forest, entrances, boulevards, property borders,
parking islands, and infiltration zones. In addition, the use of herbicides within the project site
will be minimized or eliminated during construction and future maintenance activities, where
possible.
Urban wildlife may be impacted by the removal of trees throughout the project site and disturbance to
unmaintained grasses adjacent to the Cedar Lake LRT Regional Trail and the railroad corridor;
however, these habitat generalist species are typically adaptive to development activities and would
likely relocate to undeveloped areas in the vicinity or continue to live in the converted green spaces
and newly planted trees within the project site.
Construction activities in grassland, roadsides, shrubland, or tree habitats within the project site may
result in the taking of migratory birds, eggs, young and/or active nests, if present. Although the
provisions of the MBTA are applicable throughout the entire year, most migratory bird nesting
activity in Minnesota occurs approximately from mid-March to August 15.
Construction activities that involve soil disturbance can result in the introduction and spread of
invasive species. Minnesota statutes (Chapter 18) regulate management of noxious weeds and
invasive species. In addition, St. Louis Park Chapter 34 Articles III and IV regulate noxious weeds
and vegetation maintenance for properties within the city.
d. Identify measures that will be taken to avoid, minimize, or mitigate adverse effects to fish,
wildlife, plant communities, and sensitive ecological resources.
Mitigation Strategies
• Prior to tree clearing within the project site, the MNDNR/USFWS-issued list of NLEB
records for Minnesota10 must be consulted to ensure activities will not 1) result in
removing a known occupied maternity roost tree, 2) occur within 150 feet of a known
occupied maternity roost tree from June 1 through July 31, or 3) occur within 0.25 mile
of a hibernaculum at any time. The MNDNR anticipates updating this list twice annually
on April 1 and October 1.
• If possible, tree clearing will occur outside of the NLEB pup season (June 1 – July 31) to
minimize impacts on the NLEB, if present. If a known occupied maternity roost tree or

page 24
hibernaculum is identified near the project site, additional steps, including but not limited
to field surveys, must be completed. Refer to the detailed analysis above.
• When possible, removal of vegetation will occur outside of the bird nesting window to
minimize potential take of migratory birds, if present. If vegetation clearing cannot be
avoided during the peak breeding season for migratory birds (approximately mid-March
to August 15), a qualified biologist will conduct a pre-construction breeding bird survey
within the project site to determine the absence or presence of breeding birds and their
nests. Pre-construction breeding bird surveys will meet the following criteria:
o Pre-construction surveys will occur no more than two weeks before tree and
shrub clearing activities commence. The area surveyed will include the areas
where potential suitable habitat has been identified and tree or shrub clearing has
not been completed.
o If an occupied nest is observed during the survey, tree and shrub clearing
activities will not be permitted within a 0.12-mile buffer of the nest site during
the breeding season or until the fledglings have left the area. The Proposer will
consult with the USFWS to avoid take of the species.
o Upon completion, the survey results will be submitted to the USFWS, as
appropriate. If breeding birds are not present, construction can proceed with no
restrictions. If breeding birds or active nests are present, additional consultation
will be performed.
• If project activities will receive general obligation bond funding from the State of
Minnesota, building and other construction designs must adhere to the Minnesota B3
Guidelines, which include strategies for developing bird-safe buildings and meet other
sustainability goals. These guidelines can also be used on a voluntary basis on any
project.
• BMPs and Erosion and Sediment Control Devices will be used during construction
activities to prevent sediment-laden stormwater runoff from the project site onto adjacent
properties or public ways.
• Native plants will be used for landscaping within the project site to prevent the
introduction and spread of invasive plants and noxious weeds. In addition, seeds
beneficial to pollinators will be included to the restoration seed mix, to minimize impacts
on the RPBB.
• The use of herbicides within the project site will be minimized or eliminated during
construction and future maintenance activities, where possible.

14. Historic properties:
Describe any historic structures, archeological sites, and/or traditional cultural properties on or
in close proximity to the site. Include: 1) historic designations, 2) known artifact areas, and 3)
architectural features. Attach letter received from the State Historic Preservation Office
(SHPO). Discuss any anticipated effects to historic properties during project construction and
operation. Identify measures that will be taken to avoid, minimize, or mitigate adverse effects
to historic properties.
On February 14, 2017, the Minnesota State Historical Society (MSHS) conducted a review of the
Minnesota State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) records for the area within one mile of the
project site, including portions of Sections 6 and 7, Township 28 North, Range 24 West; Section 31,
Township 29 North, Range 24 West; and Sections 8, 9, 16, 17, 20 and 21, Township 117 North,
Range 21 West in St. Louis Park, Hennepin County, Minnesota. Mr. Cinadr’s review of the
Minnesota Archaeological Inventory and Historic Structures Databases (SHPO Databases) identified
558 architectural resources and two archaeological resources. Of these 558 architectural resources,
one resource; the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Depot (approximately 0.06-miles from
the Project Site), the Peavey-Haglin Concrete Grain Elevator (approximately 0.4-miles from the
Project site) are listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). No additional architectural
resources within the approximate 1.0-mile buffer utilized for review were listed on the NRHP or the
Minnesota State Register of Historic Places.
According to the current database search, however, no previously recorded architectural resources
were located within the project site, however, the buildings on the parcels, according to tax
assessment records, were constructed in 1947. Neither mid-twentieth century resource has been
previously surveyed. The building located on the northern parcel of the project site is north of the
existing railroad tracks and is a large, one-story brick clad building supported by a concrete block
foundation. Several loading dock bays are located on the northwest side of the building. The loading
dock bays on the southeast side of the building, likely accessed at one time by a railroad spur, have
been in-filled. Small vinyl sliding windows have been added to each bay and have replaced a majority
of the windows throughout the building as well. See Figures 14-1 – 14-4.
The former Nash Frame building, located to south of the railroad tracks at 3565 Wooddale Avenue, is
also a one-story building. The building is constructed of concrete block with brick veneer on the front
façade. The building has been heavily altered on the exterior with the addition of a frame, vinyl clad
second story on the southwest end of the building and the replacement of the original windows with
modern sliding and fixed vinyl or metal windows. See Figures 14-5 – 14-8.
According to the database search, no known archaeological resources are located within the Project
site. The site is located within an area previously disturbed by construction activities during the
installation of the Canadian Pacific Railroad, TH 7, and other mid-twentieth century commercial and
industrial development. Due to the disturbed nature of the soils, it is unlikely that intact, if any,
archaeological resources are present within the Project site. Therefore, the project is not anticipated to
affect any unlisted or unknown archaeological resources.
A 0.5-mile Area of Potential Effect (APE) for indirect effects, for the purposes of the current project,
was chosen due to the density of the built environment surrounding the project site. In addition, the
areas in the vicinity of the two NRHP-listed resources consist of modern commercial and residential
development and substantial highway infrastructure. The two NRHP-listed resources located within
the 0.5-mile APE include the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Depot (approximately 0.06-
miles from the Project Site), now the home of the St. Louis Park Historical Society, and the Peavey-
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 8a)

Haglin Concrete Grain Elevator (approximately 0.4-miles from the Project site). The Chicago,
Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Depot, located near the corner of W. 37th Street and Brunswick
Avenue South, is surrounded by several large trees, which may shield the resource from any visual
effects. In addition, a one-story modern commercial building is located immediately to the northeast
of the resource. The Peavey-Haglin Grain Elevator is located to the northeast of the proposed project
site and is surrounded by asphalt parking areas. The building, aside from the adjacent water tower, is
the tallest structure in the immediate area.
Since several of the proposed buildings to be located at the project site will be approximately six
stories in height, the NRHP-listed the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Depot and the
Peavey-Haglin Concrete Grain Elevator may view the proposed buildings. To determine potential
visual effects, it is understood that field verification may be requested by the SHPO to determine the
level of potential visual impact the proposed development may have on the NRHP-listed resources. If
the proposed project is determined by the SHPO to have an adverse visual effect on the railroad
depot, trees may be planted to shield the resource from the new buildings as potential mitigation to
lessen or eliminate any adverse indirect impacts to the resource. Vegetative plantings for the grain
elevator, due to the height of the resource, may not be a viable option if it is determined that the
proposed project has an adverse effect on the NRHP-listed resource. Instead it is proposed that a
global mitigation project be offered (to be determined and in coordination with the SHPO) for
mitigation of effects if the resource is determined adversely visually impacted by the current project.
Cumulative Potential Effects
Cumulative potential effects are not anticipated.
15. Visual:
Describe any scenic views or vistas on or near the project site. Describe any project related
visual effects such as vapor plumes or glare from intense lights. Discuss the potential visual
effects from the project. Identify any measures to avoid, minimize, or mitigate visual effects.
The E-Generation facility will include one 30 kiloWatt generator fueled by methane and two 1
Megawatt generators fueled by natural gas. The generators will emit a vapor plume that may
sometimes be visible during cold weather when the moisture in the exhaust will condensate. The
methane used to fuel the 30 kW generator will undergo treatment to minimize the moisture content,
however some moisture will remain in the methane and in the exhaust. The exhaust air flow from the
30 kW generator will be equivalent to a furnace exhaust for a large (4,000 sf) home.
The natural gas will be used directly from the utility provider to power the 1 megawatt generators.
Once the generator engines and exhaust system is warmed up, no visible vapor/exhaust plume is
expected even during cold temperatures. These engines and generators are expected to be operating
95 percent of the time and will not be starting and stopping except for annual maintenance.
Cumulative Potential Effects
Cumulative potential effects are not anticipated.

16. Air:
a. Stationary source emissions - Describe the type, sources, quantities and compositions of any
emissions from stationary sources such as boilers or exhaust stacks. Include any hazardous
air pollutants, criteria pollutants, and any greenhouse gases. Discuss effects to air quality
including any sensitive receptors, human health or applicable regulatory criteria. Include a
discussion of any methods used assess the project’s effect on air quality and the results of
that assessment. Identify pollution control equipment and other measures that will be taken
to avoid, minimize, or mitigate adverse effects from stationary source emissions.
No stationary source emissions are anticipated as a result of the project’s commercial, retail or
hotel uses.
The project’s E-Generation facility will include a 30 kW combined heat and power generator that
will burn methane produced from the anaerobic digestion of food waste from the on-site
residences, hotel and commercial establishments. Exhaust from the methane burning generator
will contain maximum emissions of: 200g/hr CO, 80 g/hr NOx, 40 g/hr VOC.
The two 1 Megawatt natural gas burning co-generators will produce emissions containing a
maximum of: 7,340 g/hr CO, 3,230 g/hr NOx, 880 g/hr Non-Methane Hydrocarbons (NMHC).
b. Vehicle emissions - Describe the effect of the project’s traffic generation on air emissions.
Discuss the project’s vehicle-related emissions effect on air quality. Identify measures (e.g.
traffic operational improvements, diesel idling minimization plan) that will be taken to
minimize or mitigate vehicle-related emissions.
The Minnesota Department of Transportation has developed a screening method designed to
identify intersections that may cause a CO impact above State standards. This method requires an
intersection to be heavily congested (Level of Service F) and have a traffic volume of greater than
140,000 vehicles per day in order to be considered to have the potential for causing CO air
pollution problems. None of the intersections in the study area exceed the criteria that would lead
to a violation of the air quality standards. All intersection levels of service are expected to be LOS
D or better, meaning the corridor is moderately congested and the per vehicle delay is acceptable.
Dust and odors - Describe sources, characteristics, duration, quantities, and intensity of
dust and odors generated during project construction and operation. (Fugitive dust may be
discussed under item 16a). Discuss the effect of dust and odors in the vicinity of the project
including nearby sensitive receptors and quality of life. Identify measures that will be taken
to minimize or mitigate the effects of dust and odors. The project’s E-Generation facility will
include ventilation and odor control equipment to capture and mitigate odors from the food waste
and from the anaerobic digestion facility. Intensity of odors from food waste is expected to be
low as containers will have lids. Ventilation and odor control equipment will also capture and
mitigate odors from the dewatered organics. Intensity of odors from digested organics is expected
to be low as organics have been stabilized. Odor generation can occur throughout the day and
therefore ventilation and odor control equipment will operate continuously.
Cumulative Potential Effects
Cumulative potential effects are not anticipated.

17. Noise
Describe sources, characteristics, duration, quantities, and intensity of noise generated during
project construction and operation. Discuss the effect of noise in the vicinity of the project
including 1) existing noise levels/sources in the area, 2) nearby sensitive receptors, 3)
conformance to state noise standards, and 4) quality of life. Identify measures that will be taken
to minimize or mitigate the effects of noise.
Nearby Sensitive Receivers
The operation of the development site will have minimal noise impacts to the surrounding area.
Traffic generated by the site is one potential noise source. Typically, traffic volumes would need to
double for a change of noise level that would be considered barely perceptible. Traffic generated by
the development will be a small fraction of the existing traffic that exists in the area, resulting in noise
level changes that would typically be associated with changes that are barely perceptible.
Surrounding receptors include an apartment building immediately to the east and southeast of the
proposed project. South of the project are predominantly commercial businesses, with the Cedar
Lake LRT Regional Trail, proposed LRT line, and an existing freight rail line dividing the
development site.
North of TH 7 is a residential neighborhood, with the nearest residences (apartment building), being
approximately 250 feet away and across TH 7.
The E-generation facility is a component of the development site will generate noise. The
manufacturer has provided noise emission levels for the site, rated at 70 decibels at ten meters. Since
point source noises decay at a rate of approximately 6 decibels per distance doubling, noise levels
would be roughly 64 decibels at the site boundary (approximately 20 meters from the noise source) of
the E-generation facility. As demonstrated in the next section, 64 decibels is lower than the noise
associated with noise from traffic on TH 7. Noise from the site would continue to decrease at greater
distances, and will not cause increased noise levels at adjacent sensitive receptors.
Local Ordinance Requirements
The St. Louis Park noise ordinance identifies the same noise metrics and noise levels as Minnesota
Administrative Rule 7030.0040 Noise Standards, and specifically exempts trains, and traffic from
state and county roads.
Existing Noise Levels
The State of Minnesota’s noise standards are defined in Minnesota Administrative Rule 7030.0040
Noise Standards. The standards for L10 and L50 noise levels, which are the noise levels exceeded ten
percent and 50 percent of a period, typically one hour. Since ten percent of an hour is six minutes,
and fifty percent of an hour is 30 minutes, noise from trains typically would not cause exceedances of
the state’s standards, since the trains will not be present for 6 minutes or 30 minutes out of an hour.
The train frequency typically will not be greater than one train per hour.
TH 7 is immediately adjacent to the site. Existing traffic on TH 7 is approximately 31,000 vehicles
per day. The FHWA’s STAMINA 2.0 was used to evaluate the worst-case noise level on the project
site. The results show that the project site currently exceeds both daytime and nighttime state
standards.

The exceedance of the state standards is not from noise caused by the project, but from noise
generated by TH 7. The City’s ordinance exempts noise sources such as state highways, including
the noise from TH 7, and therefore the existing noise is not a violation of the City’s ordinance.
However, the proposed development would occur in an area where state noise standards are already
higher than the standard, and would therefore be exposed to that noise.
Potential mitigation could include the use of windows that do not open, arranging the property such
that residential units face away from the highway, and/or a noise wall. These mitigation measures are
not considered reasonable because they would have limited effectiveness at high cost, and because
noise exceedances are not a result of the proposed development. No further action is required.
Cumulative Potential Effects
Cumulative potential effects are not anticipated.
18. Transportation Describe traffic-related aspects of project construction and operation. Include:
1) existing and proposed additional parking spaces, 2) estimated total average daily traffic
generated, 3) estimated maximum peak hour traffic generated and time of occurrence, 4) indicate
source of trip generation rates used in the estimates, and 5) availability of transit and/or other
alternative transportation modes.
a. Discuss the effect on traffic congestion on affected roads and describe any traffic
improvements necessary. The analysis must discuss the project’s impact on the regional
transportation system.
The development is in two parts. The north side will be accessed via the existing frontage road,
while the south side will use existing driveways onto W. 36th Street.
1) Proposed parking includes 447 parking spaces: 216 on the north, and 31 on the south.
2) Estimated total average traffic generated is 3134: 1236 on the north side, 1898 on the south.
3) Peak hour traffic generated is 260 vehicles: 116 on the north side, 144 on the south. This
occurs in the afternoon peak hour.
4) Source of trip generation rates is as follows:
Trip generation estimates were developed using the Institute of Transportation Engineer’s
Trip Generation Manual, 9th Edition. Some of the proposed commercial/retail space within
the development would fall into the “Specialty Retail Center” category within the trip
generation manual, however, since there is limited sample data within the manual, a blend of
different retail generation rates was used.

It should be noted that the vehicle trips used in the traffic impact study (TIS) were more
conservative than those shown in Table 18-1, above. At the time, the sizes and numbers of units
were less precise and have since been revised. The TIS used the following numbers in their
analysis, compared to the revised PLACE development:

5) Trip reductions were taken based on land use type and facilities in the area for transit,
cycling/walking, pass-by traffic, and internal capture. The site is served by Metro Transit bus
routes 615 and 17. Route 17 picks up passengers on W. 36th Street and provides regular route
service to downtown Minneapolis. Route 615 also stops on W. 36th Street and provides
hourly service between Minnetonka, Hopkins and St. Louis Park. The project site will be
served by the Green Line Extension via the adjacent Wooddale Avenue Station when it opens
in 2021. The project site has access to the regional bicycle system via the Cedar Lake LRT
Regional Trail, which bisects the site. Achievement of these trip reductions will require the
site to employ travel demand management strategies such as secure bicycle parking and
transit incentives.

b. Discuss the effect on traffic congestion on affected roads and describe any traffic
improvements necessary. The analysis must discuss the project’s impact on the regional
transportation system.
A traffic impact study has been completed for this development. The report is attached.
Traffic analysis was performed for baseline conditions and various development and traffic
volume scenarios at the 2020 and the 2040 horizons. The future congestion and queuing issues at
existing intersections are largely addressed by adding a connection from the south site to W. 35th
Street. The results of these analyses are as follows:

Increased trips resulting from development of the project site, all of which are served with the W.
35th Street connection option in place, do have an impact on the roadway network. However, the
overall intersection operations are still at a LOS D or better. There is queueing between
intersections due to capacity constraints and the close spacing of the four intersections along
Wooddale Avenue.
c. Identify measures that will be taken to minimize or mitigate project related transportation
effects.
The driveway connection to W. 35th Street will be constructed as part of the redevelopment of
the proposed project in order to serve the proposed development demands without causing an
undue burden to W. 36th Street. This connection to W. 35th Street provides access to the traffic
signal at W. 36th Street and Xenwood Avenue and provides development traffic with controlled
access and greater route choices.
In addition to this connection to W. 35th Street, the below-listed improvements are recommended
with the proposed development project in order to maintain levels of service noted in Table 18-2
for 2020 and 2040. Many of these projects are currently budgeted for in St. Louis Park’s Capital
Improvement Plan and others are anticipated to be developed in conjunction with the construction
of the proposed PLACE project or the Southwest LRT. Others will be constructed as future City
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 8a)
Title: PLACE St. Louis Park EAW Finding of Fact and Record of Decision Page 90
page 32
projects as capital budgets permit or right of way becomes available through subsequent
redevelopment. Overall, the proposed development scenario with the below-listed improvements
shows minimal impact to the existing roadway network under 2020 traffic demand.
• All SWLRT Base Improvements as follows:
− Traffic signals at the TH 7 ramp terminal intersections on Wooddale Avenue
− Restripe Wooddale Avenue to a 4-lane section
− New signal system and gates for the freight and LRT crossings
− New grade-separated trail crossing for the Cedar Lake Regional Trail at Wooddale
Avenue
• Construct a left-turn lane on southbound Wooddale Avenue to the Frontage Road.Widening
of the Wooddale Avenue Bridge and reconfiguration of bridge corners to improve sight
distance.
• Construct RI/RO access to the south site at W. 36th Street
• Construct eastbound left turn lane at Xenwood Avenue/W. 36th Street (150-feet). Maintain
existing northbound, southbound and westbound geometry. Review the intersection geometry
as part of any specific redevelopment plan and/or street improvement.
• Add flashing yellow arrow signal heads for eastbound W. 36th Street at Xenwood Avenue
• Identify travel demand management strategies for the site including but not limited to
reducing the number of parking spaces allowed from current code requirements and
providing secure bicycle storage for residents and visitors.
By 2040, the increase in background traffic demand as currently forecasted, combined with the
proposed PLACE development, would reach the capacity of both the Wooddale Avenue and W.
36th Street corridors under the proposed street network and interchange configuration at
Wooddale Avenue and TH 7. It is recommended that updated traffic counts be obtained as other
sites in the area are redeveloped and following the opening of Southwest LRT and the TH 100
project, such that the existing condition may be established. Forecasts and/or trip generation for
other developments in the area should be added to the newly obtained existing volumes and the
operation of the street network should be evaluated to determine future transportation needs.
Travel Demand Management Strategies
The Proposer has initiated numerous travel demand management strategies to promote use of the
regional trail, bus stops, and future LRT station. The development will offer car sharing, bike
sharing, and a Car-Free Perks program.
The Proposer will provide a car-free perks package to 90 households on a first-come, first-served
basis. For car-free households, PLACE will pay annual memberships in car-sharing and bike-
sharing programs, pay a monthly cash stipend, and provide Go-To passes with a modest monthly
starting balance. A mobility concierge will help connect people with transit options to make
smooth connections and to help overcome technological unfamiliarity. Households will register
their vehicles by license number with the management company. Those who choose to be car-free
and receive the benefits must agree as part of their lease that they will remain car-free.
Residential parking entry, likely controlled by swipe card or fob, will be programmed by
apartment accordingly. Car share cars will have their own swipe cars, so that car-free residents
may still use parking when in a car share vehicle.

The hotel operator, Aimbridge, has experience with hotels on the LRT line and will encourage
guests to come by transit. A transportation concierge will help residents and the public navigate
the Twin Cities area using the many mobility options available that do not require a personal
vehicle. Before the LRT comes online, a shuttle will provide transportation to key destinations for
residents and hotel guests. A free hybrid shuttle will run regularly to high demand destinations for
residents and hotel guests, with a higher level of service before the Wooddale Avenue Station
becomes operational. Destinations and scheduling will be determined through conversations with
hotel management and residents.
The Proposer has planned two part-time jobs for shuttling people by bicycle “pedicab” at no
charge among the North and South buildings and the station during reasonable weather. The
Proposer has begun conversations about transit passes with Metro Transit. The current main
option for companies and organizations is the Metropass for $76/month per rider. PLACE has
targeted the amount of a monthly car-free stipend to cover a discounted, unlimited transit pass if
that is what the household chooses as a priority. The hotel management company, Aimbridge, has
experience providing transit stipends for employees who serve hotels near major transit, and
anticipates a robust employee transit program.
Cumulative Potential Effects
Cumulative potential effects are not anticipated. Overall, the proposed development scenario with
identified transportation improvements shows minimal impact to the existing roadway network
under 2020 traffic demand. The Proposer has initiated numerous travel demand management
strategies to promote use of the regional trail, bus stops, and future LRT station. The development
will offer car sharing, bike sharing, and a Car-Free Perks program.
19. Cumulative potential effects: (Preparers can leave this item blank if cumulative potential effects

Title: PLACE St. Louis Park EAW Finding of Fact and Record of Decision Page 149
Meeting: City Council
Meeting Date: May 1, 2017
Action Agenda Item: 8b
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: PLACE – Preliminary and Final Plat; Second Reading of the PUD
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
• Motion to Adopt Resolution approving the Preliminary and Final Plat subject to conditions
(requires 4 affirmative votes); and
• Motion to approve Second Reading and Adopt Ordinance adding Section 36-268-PUD 9 to the
Zoning Code and amend the Zoning Map from IG-General Industrial and MX-Mixed Use to
PUD 9 for the property located at the southeast quadrant of Highway 7 and Wooddale Avenue
and the northeast corner of West 36th Street and Wooddale Avenue, and approve the Summary
Ordinance for publication (requires 4 affirmative votes).
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does the City Council support the proposed Preliminary and
Final Plat and PUD to allow for the PLACE redevelopment?
SUMMARY: PLACE (Projects Linking Art, Community & Environment), a Minneapolis
501(c)(3) nonprofit developer, proposes to construct a landmark mixed-use, mixed income, transit
oriented, and environmentally sustainable development. Project components include: two
apartment buildings with a total of 299 residential units (200 affordable and 99 market rate), a 110-
room hotel, a 10,000 SF e-generation/greenhouse facility, approximately 15,400 SF of ground
floor commercial/retail space, parking structures, and an “urban forest”.
The Plat is needed to combine nine properties, create three development parcels, and dedicate
right-of-way and easements, and the PUD is needed to rezone the property from I-G General
Industrial and MX Mixed Use to allow for a mixed-use development. On April 17, 2017, the City
Council amended the Comprehensive Plan to reguide the property to mixed-use and voted 6-1 to
approve the First Reading of the PUD Ordinance.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: There are extraordinary costs associated with
the proposed redevelopment site that prevent the project from being financially feasible.
Consequently, the developer submitted an application for tax increment financing to defray a
portion of these expenses. The developer will purchase the City/EDA owned parcels for
$6,245,000.
VISION CONSIDERATION: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a well-maintained and
diverse housing stock.

DISCUSSION
DEVELOPMENT SUMMARY: PLACE E-generation One, LLC (PLACE), a 501(c)(3),
proposes to redevelop property north and south of the future SWLRT Wooddale Avenue Station
into a mixed-income, mixed-use, multigenerational, environmentally sustainable, transit-oriented
development with live/work units for creatives. The development includes:
• 299 apartments (200 affordable, 99 market-rate), including 99 mixed-income live/work
• 110-room Fairfield by Marriott hotel
• Café, coffee house, bike shop, and five microbusinesses
• PLACE’s E-Generation facility on the northern site, which uses PLACE’s patent-pending
portfolio of renewable energy systems to convert locally-sourced organic waste into energy for
the project and a soil amendment byproduct that will be used in the onsite greenhouse.
• 0.88 acres of urban forest, for public access to nature, stormwater management, and habitat
• 29,500 square feet of green roof for additional stormwater management and habitat
• Buildings, site and program designed to support a multigenerational community.
• Mobility Plan with car/bike sharing, shuttle, and car-free living incentives
• Surface and underground parking on the northern site as well as underground parking south of
the rail, which leaves ground space for a “woonerf/place-making plaza” adjacent to the LRT
station to provide pedestrian-oriented multiuse space
The development will generate 100 full time equivalent, living wage jobs, be home to at least 90
car-free households, and will be LEED, Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, certified
buildings across the site. In addition to LEED, the project team is maximizing the sustainability
potential for design, cleanup, construction and operation to minimize the use of energy, water,
materials and other resources.
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 8b) Page 3
Title: PLACE – Preliminary and Final Plat; Second Reading of the PUD
The program of mixed-income housing, live/work, local businesses, E-Generation, Mobility Plan,
and LEED is based on PLACE’s experience developing healthy, mixed-income communities, and
its mission to link arts, community and environment.
The proposed buildings range in height from one-story for the e-generation building to a five-story
mixed-use building on the northeast site, and two six-story buildings on the south site.
REQUEST: The applicant requests that the city:
1. Approve a preliminary and final plat to combine parcels for development.
2. Amend the zoning map and zoning ordinance to rezone the subject properties from I-G
General Industrial and C-2 General Commercial to Planned Unit Development.
SITE INFORMATION: The proposed redevelopment site is located in the Elmwood
neighborhood at the southeast quadrant of Highway 7 and Wooddale Avenue and the northeast
corner of West 36th Street and Wooddale Avenue. The site is divided by the CP Bass Lake Spur
railroad tracks and the Cedar Lake LRT Regional Trail. It is adjacent to the future SWLRT
Wooddale Avenue Station, and it is currently served by Metro Transit Bus Routes 615 and 17F
along West 36th Street. The proposed redevelopment is near to Central Community Center, Park
Spanish Immersion School and St. Louis Park High School. Nearby parks include Jorvig Park to
the west, Center Park to the south, and Wolfe Park and Lilac Park to the east.
Site Area: 5.2 acres
Current Uses: Vacant land and vacant buildings
Comprehensive Plan: MX-Mixed Use
Current Zoning: I-G General Industrial, C-2 General Commercial
Proposed Zoning: PUD-Planned Unit Development
Surrounding Land Uses: North: Highway 7
East: Small scale commercial and Cityscape Apartments
West: Wooddale Avenue
South: West 36th Street / TowerLight

Site Location Map.
Site Conditions: Topographically both sides of the development property are relatively flat. The
proposed redevelopment site requires the assemblage of nine parcels. The north side of the
proposed redevelopment includes the following four properties.
• 5925 Highway 7 is a vacant 1.16 AC remnant site.
• 5815 Highway 7 is a vacant 0.18 AC remnant site.
• 5725 Highway 7 is the former McGarvey Coffee manufacturing property.
• 3520 Yosemite is a vacant 0.4 AC remnant rail site.
The south side of the proposed redevelopment includes the following five properties.
• 3565 Wooddale is a 0.065 AC parcel occupied by a 16,739 SF commercial building that
was leased to Nash Frame.
• 3548 Xenwood Ave is a vacant 0.8 AC remnant rail site.
• 3575 Wooddale is an approximate 0.37 AC parcel.
• 5816 36th Street is an approximate 0.36 AC parcel which is part of a municipal parking lot
constructed in 1976 for commercial parking purposes.
• 5814 36th Street is an approximate 0.25 AC parcel which is part of a municipal parking lot
constructed in 1976 for commercial parking purposes.
BACKGROUND: This area has been planned for redevelopment for over two decades. The
Economic Development Authority and Hennepin County Regional Rail Authority have purchased
properties in anticipation of redevelopment and transportation improvements, including the
Highway 7 and Wooddale interchange and light rail transit SWLRT/Green Line Extension. There
have been several land use, transportation, redevelopment, zoning, and transit corridor studies over
that time.
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 8b) Page 5
Title: PLACE – Preliminary and Final Plat; Second Reading of the PUD
Public Input: PLACE hosted numerous well attended public meetings from August 2015 until
February 2017. The original program was located north of the rail corridor and was 12 to 14 stories
tall. However due to traffic and height concerns, PLACE sought out an alternate program using
both sides of the rail/trail corridor. The height of all buildings was reduced to be six stories or less.
The applicant has sought the advice of the community in the overall design of the buildings, the
site amenities, access into and out of the site, and the programming of the development.
In addition to neighborhood meetings and meetings with the City Council and the Planning
Commission, PLACE has also met with numerous agencies in the area including: Perspectives, St.
Louis Park Historical Society, Friends of the Arts, STEP, SEEDS, St. Louis Park School
Superintendent, St. Louis Park Health in the Park, Mu Performing Arts, Springboard for the Arts,
experts from the University of Minnesota to discuss car-free living, Integrated Project Delivery,
and winter greenhouses, and Partnership Resources.
The 8th neighborhood meeting was held at Fire Station 1 on February 23, 2017. Approximately 60
people attended the meeting to review the development proposal. There were some attendees who
supported the development, and others with concerns. Concerns generally related to: an increase
in traffic, intersection congestion, congestion and sight lines over the Wooddale/Hwy 25 Bridge,
amount of parking, the impact a hotel might have in the area, the inclusion of affordable housing,
and the uncertainty of the SWLRT project. Comments of support generally included liking: the
overall building design, the pedestrian and bicycle amenities, the inclusion of affordable dwelling
units located close to reliable and frequent transit, the urban forest and proximity to the Cedar Lake
Regional Trail, and the density of the development.

Environmental Analysis: State rules, administered by the Minnesota Environmental Quality
Board (EQB), requires an Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) be completed for the
PLACE development due to the number of residential units and gross square feet of commercial
space. An EAW is designed to disclose information about the potential negative environmental
effects a proposed development may have and methods to avoid or minimize any negative impacts
before the project is permitted and built. An EAW analyzes the effects of a project on land use,
zoning, geology and soils, water resources, stormwater, contamination, sensitive or endangered
species, historic properties, noise, and traffic.
The EAW for the PLACE development was completed by the consulting firm Stantec and was
reviewed by the City of St. Louis Park and the city’s consultant Kimley Horn. It was approved
for distribution by the City Manager on February 27, 2017. Notice of its availability was published
in the EQB Monitor on March 6, 2017. The complete document is available for review on the city
website, at city hall and the St. Louis Park Library. The comment period on the EAW ended on
April 19, 2017. The City of St. Louis Park reviewed and responded to the submitted comments.
No significant environmental impacts were identified and the City Council will be asked under a
separate action to make findings of fact, record of decision, and negative declaration regarding
additional environmental review on May 1, 2017 prior to taking final action on the Plat and PUD.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
Preliminary and Final Plat Analysis: PLACE is seeking approval to combine nine properties
located in the northeast quadrant of the Wooddale Avenue and West 36th Street intersection to
develop an energy generating, mixed-use, mixed-income, transit-oriented development. The
proposed development includes 299 residential dwelling units (including 99 live/work units), 110
room hotel, a café, a coffee shop, a bike shop, a co-working space, a makers space, and an
anaerobic digester. The plat meets the requirements of the city’s subdivision ordinance, and will
be named PLACE.
Lots: The subdivision proposal will create three lots and three outlots.
Lot 1, Block 1, PLACE will have a lot area of 1.1018 acres. This lot will be the location of the
proposed E-generation and greenhouse building, 56 parking spaces, and a solar canopy. No
residential development is proposed on this site. The proposed floor area ratio is 0.2.
Lot 1, Block 2 PLACE will have a lot area of 2.2816 acres. The north residential building will be
constructed on this lot. It will have 218 dwelling units, a 2,570 square foot bike shop and a 2,624
square foot Maker Space. The proposed residential density for this site is 95.56 units/acre. The
proposed floor area ratio of the commercial space is 0.052, and 2.3 including the north residential
building.
Lot 1, Block 3 PLACE will be 1.7761 acres in size and will be the location of the 110 room hotel
and the south residential building. The south residential building has 81 dwelling units. The
proposed residential density for this site is 45.6 units/acre. The proposed floor area ratio of the
hotel and commercial space is 0.91, and 3.2 including the south residential building.
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 8b) Page 7
Title: PLACE – Preliminary and Final Plat; Second Reading of the PUD
The overall density of the development is 57 unit/acre and the floor area ratio for the total
development is 2.11.
The plat will also create three outlots: Outlot A, Outlot B, and Outlot C. Outlot A is 0.1198 acres
and is located between the Hwy 7 Frontage Rd and the Cedar Lake Regional Trail. Outlot B and
Outlot C are 0.2349 acres and 0.2165 acres, respectively. They are located east of Yosemite
Avenue and north of 35th Street, and will be owned by the City of St. Louis Park for future
development opportunities.
Easements: Lot 1, Block 1, PLACE is providing a 5 foot to 10 foot drainage and utility easement
along the south property line, adjacent to the Hwy 7 Frontage Rd, and a 10 foot drainage and utility
easement along Wooddale Avenue.
Lot 1, Block 2, PLACE is providing a 10 foot drainage and utility easement along all property
lines. The applicant is granting a 10 foot easement between Lot 1, Block 2 and Cityscape
Apartments to construct a pathway connection to the Cedar Lake Regional Trail. PLACE has
worked with the city and Three Rivers Park District to identify this future connection.
Lot 1, Block 3 PLACE is providing 10 foot drainage and utility easements along West 36th Street
and Wooddale Avenue, and a 5 foot easement along the north property line adjacent to the SWLRT
line. PLACE has collaborated with the Southwest Project Office, Hennepin County, and the city
to determine easement width to accommodate easements needed for the future Southwest LRT
line. A 5 foot drainage and utility easement on the east side of the property is also provided.
Right-of-Way Dedication: The City of St. Louis Park hired SRF in 2006 to analyze the street
design of 36th Street to accommodate vehicular traffic while providing a welcoming streetscape
for pedestrians and bicyclists. The enhancement design calls for a bike lane, and increased
landscape materials in this area. PLACE is dedicating 26 feet (6,908 square feet) of right of way
along 36th Street, and 10.5 feet (1,569 square feet) of right-of-way along on Wooddale Avenue to
accommodate the city’s plans for these streets.
In 2009 St. Louis Park obtained right-of-way along the south side of Hwy 7 to construct the
Wooddale Avenue overpass and to reconstruct the Hwy 7 Frontage Rd. The city never platted this
land and the current frontage road is not constructed in official right-of-way. The city is selling the
surrounding land to PLACE for redevelopment, and PLACE is dedicating 41,328 square feet of
right-of-way to the city. PLACE is also dedicating 22,332 square feet of right-of-way on the north
side of Lot 1, Block, 1 to the Minnesota Department of Transportation for the Hwy 7 entrance
ramp.
Total right-of-way dedications equal 1.66 acres of land.
Park Dedication: The Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission reviewed park and trail
dedications for the proposed development on March 15, 2017. PRAC recommends cash-in-lieu of
park land dedication.
For mixed-use developments, the city collects dedication fees for each project component:
residential portion based on dwelling unit, and the commercial/industrial portion based on 5% of
the assessed value of land for the ground floor area of the commercial/industrial buildings.
According to Hennepin County records, 5 parcels have been platted and four parcels are unplatted.
It is assumed commercial/industrial dedication fees have already been paid for the platted parcels.
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 8b) Page 8
Title: PLACE – Preliminary and Final Plat; Second Reading of the PUD
Residential dedication fees for all parcels will need to be collected and commercial/industrial
dedication fees for the unplatted parcels will need to be collected. The 2017 fee schedule sets the
residential Park Dedication Fee at $1,500 per dwelling unit and the residential Trail Dedication
Fee at $225 per dwelling unit. PRAC recommends PLACE dedicate $448,500 in park fees and
$67,275 in trail fees for the residential portion of the development, and $16,963 for the commercial
portion of the development located on unplatted parcels. The total cash-in-lieu dedication
recommended by PRAC is $532,838.
PUD Analysis:
Description: The developer requests approval of a preliminary and final Planned Unit
Development (PUD). A PUD is a rezoning and zoning text amendment that establishes the
regulations for a specific property. The site is currently zoned I-P Industrial Park and C-2 General
Commercial.
The 5.2-acre site meets the minimum 2 acre requirement to request a Planned Unit Development.
The use of a PUD zoning for this property is recommended as it allows for conditions and
requirements that fit the context and character of the individual site and the proposed development
at the SWLRT Wooddale station.
Comprehensive Plan: On April 17, 2017 the City Council voted to amend the city’s 2030
Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map to reguide the parcels at the southeast quadrant of Highway 7
and Wooddale Avenue to mixed use. Therefore, the Comprehensive Plan designates the entire site
for mixed use. This category allows for multifamily uses, provided commercial uses are also
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 8b) Page 9
Title: PLACE – Preliminary and Final Plat; Second Reading of the PUD
included. The proposed PUD would create a new zoning district and zoning regulations for uses
and dimensional standards that are unique to this site and the proposed site and building plans.
Staff finds that this site is suitable for the proposed mixed use development which generally
follows the height, density, and floor area ratios of the other mixed-use developments in the area.
The proposed plans achieve several of the city’s long term goals and the city’s vision for a mixed-
use transit-oriented development at the Wooddale SWLRT Station as specified in the 2030
Comprehensive Plan. Those goals include:
Livable Communities Goal #1: Provide attractive public streets and spaces that contribute to
creating connections and a sense of community.
Policy 1-C: Incorporate “complete streets” design principles into future improvements of
the community’s streets to accommodate all transportation modes where feasible.
Policy 1-D: Provide pedestrian and bicycle pathways that connect key departure points and
destinations throughout the City and require installation of identified connections during
the redevelopment process.
Policy 1-F: Promote high quality design of public and private open spaces that will benefit
anticipated users with proper consideration given to use, design, maintenance, appearance,
location, and accessibility of the space.
Policy 1-G: Encourage placement of works of art, sculpture, or fountains throughout the
City to help increase civic prominence and a unique sense of place where appropriate.
Policy 1-K: Work with internal and external partners to ensure that all roadway and
pedestrian facilities, including bridges, located in the City are functionally and aesthetically
appealing and contribute to the use, overall design scheme (if appropriate), and enjoyment
of the City.
Residential Land Use Goals Goal #1: Create a mix of residential land uses and housing types to
increase neighborhood housing choices and the viability of greater neighborhood services through
redevelopment or infill development.
Policy 1-A: Consider opportunities for allowing a broader range of housing types and
densities within or adjacent to existing low density residential neighborhoods that are
complementary and compatible with the existing neighborhood character.
Policy 1-B: Promote and support the development of medium and high density residential
land uses near commercial centers and nodes.
Policy 1-C: Ensure that new and redeveloped medium and high density residential land
uses are located within walking distance of transit services.
Mixed-Use Goals Goal #2: Pursue redevelopment of future transitway station areas as transit-
oriented mixed-use centers.
Policy 2-A: Promote and support the Wooddale Station Area as a transit-oriented mixed-
use neighborhood.
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 8b) Page 10
Title: PLACE – Preliminary and Final Plat; Second Reading of the PUD
Mixed-Use Goals Goal #3: Expand the development of mixed-use areas within St. Louis Park to
create a more livable and connected community.
Policy 3-A: Encourage and support mixed-use infill and redevelopment where the design
of the project enables compatibility with existing surrounding land uses.
Approving the Planned Unit Development will allow for additional housing units, including
affordable units, in an area that is well served by transit, and along a vibrant commercial corridor.
The general area of the development proposal consists of a mix of smaller scale commercial
buildings and several mixed-use projects including Towerlight, a development for aging residents,
and Hoigaard Village. To the southwest is Village in the Park, a community comprised of condos
and townhome residential units. The Comprehensive Plan calls for an increase in the availability
of neighborhood housing choices, mixed-use redevelopment and transit-oriented development.
The proposed PLACE development would provide higher density apartment housing, including
affordable units, in a building that enhances the street frontage along 36th Street and Wooddale
Avenue and demonstrates principles of pedestrian- and transit-oriented development.
The development also achieves the city’s vision for this area that was established in the 2003
Elmwood Area Land Use, Transit, and Transportation Study. The Elmwood study identified the
parcels north of the rail line as high density residential with some lower density office/commercial
space, and the parcels south of the rail line as a transit-oriented, mixed-use development.

Building and Site Design Analysis: PLACE meets the PUD ordinance goals for building and site
design. The ordinance requires the City to find that the quality of building and site design proposed
will substantially enhance aesthetics of the site and implement relevant goals and policies of the
Comprehensive Plan. In addition, the following criteria shall be satisfied:
(1) The design shall consider the project as a whole, and shall create a unified environment within
project boundaries by ensuring architectural compatibility of all structures, efficient vehicular and
pedestrian circulation, aesthetically pleasing landscape and site features, and design and efficient
use of utilities. Staff finds the plan meets this requirement.
(2) The design of a PUD shall achieve compatibility of the project with surrounding land uses,
both existing and proposed, and shall minimize the potential adverse impacts of the PUD on
surrounding land uses and the potential adverse effects of the surrounding land uses on the PUD.
Staff finds this criteria will be met.
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 8b) Page 12
Title: PLACE – Preliminary and Final Plat; Second Reading of the PUD
(3) A PUD shall comply with the City’s Green Building Policy. This is a condition of approval.
The architect is working with Xcel Energy, Centerpoint Energy, and the City of St. Louis Park to
comply. The buildings are also being designed to LEED standards.
(4) The use of green roofs or white roofs and on-site renewable energy is encouraged. The
development includes approximately 29,500 square feet of green roof. PLACE is also producing
approximately 90% of all energy consumed by the development onsite through renewable energy
sources including wind, solar, and bio-gas.
Zoning: The following table provides the development metrics. The property will be rezoned to a
Planned Unit Development (PUD). The proposed performance and development standards, as
indicated in the development plans, establish the development requirements for this property if
approved.
Uses: PLACE proposes to develop a mixed-use, mixed-income community for creatives. The
proposal includes:
• 299 apartments (200 affordable, 99 market-rate), including 99 mixed-income live/work
• 110-room Fairfield hotel by Marriott
• Café, coffee house, bike shop, and five microbusinesses
• Maker’s space and Co-working space
• PLACE’s E-Generation facility on the northern site, which uses PLACE’s patent-pending
portfolio of renewable energy systems to convert locally-sourced organic waste into energy for
the project and a soil amendment byproduct that will be used in the onsite greenhouse.
• 0.88 acres of urban forest, for public access to nature, stormwater management, and habitat
• 29,500 square feet of greenroof for additional stormwater management and habitat
• Solar panels on roofs and vertically integrated into the building facades
• Surface and underground parking on the northern site as well as underground parking south of
the rail, which leaves ground space for a “woonerf/placemaking plaza” adjacent to the LRT
station to provide pedestrian-oriented multiuse space
The 299 dwelling units are comprised of a mix of studios, 1 bedroom, 2 bedroom, 3 bedroom, and
4 bedroom units. 200 dwelling units (66.8%) will be designated as affordable at 60% area median
income.
The community will be marketed toward creative entrepreneurs and 99 of the 299 dwelling units
will be designed as live/work units. PLACE proposes two styles of live/work units: live/work
Type I and live/work Type II. There are 94 live/work Type I units that will include a large working
space within the dwelling unit, but no physical storefront. 18 live/work Type I units are located on
the north site and 76 units on the south site.
Live/work Type II includes a large work space within the dwelling units and storefronts. There are
no live/work Type II dwelling units on the north site, and five on the south site. Three units are
located along West 36th Street and two are located near the woonerf/place-making plaza. There is
also a small store front on the east side of the south residential building that acts as a rotating
gallery/storefront for residents living in live/work Type I.

The development includes a 110-room Fairfield hotel by Marriott. There are 27 double rooms, 58
king rooms, 24 extended stay suites, and one presidential suite. The hotel includes a lobby, a pool,
a fitness center, a small business center, and a bar. There are no large conference spaces provided
in the hotel.
Located on the ground floor of the hotel is a 1,173 square foot coffee house located near the
Wooddale LRT Station platform, and a 4,644 square foot restaurant/café. The café’s main entrance
is located along West 36th Street between the hotel and south residential building. Outdoor seating
is proposed along West 36th Street.
A 7,675 square foot leasing office and a 1,571 square foot co-working space are located on the
ground floor of the south residential building. There is also 2,415 square feet of co-working space
located on the second floor of the building. The co-working space is designed to provide for a
shared office and large artistic workspace for artists. People who live outside the development are
able to lease portions of the co-working space.
Linking the hotel and the south residential building is a fourth floor bridge. The bridge will connect
the live/work and hotel buildings with a multipurpose space. This creates a pathway for hotel
guests to explore live/work studios during specific visiting days when creatives open their doors
to the public.
Also located on the south site is a Woonerf or Placemaking Plaza. The placemaking plaza is located
between the hotel and south residential building adjacent to the SWLRT Wooddale Station area
platform. The placemaking plaza is primarily a pedestrian plaza that is open to cars and bicyclists.
This space can be programmed to host outdoor events, and will be infused with native landscaping
and artwork. A wide “mews” passage will connect 36th Street to the woonerf and LRT station,
with potential for live/work and café activity to expand into the space.
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 8b) Page 14
Title: PLACE – Preliminary and Final Plat; Second Reading of the PUD
On the ground floor of the north residential building there is 2,484 square feet of retail space and
2,624 square feet of Maker Space PLACE proposes the retail space be a bike shop to serve the
community and people utilizing the Cedar Lake Regional Trail. The Maker Space is a membership-
driven studio that provides access to everything someone needs to make things; instruction, tools,
software, and space. Maker Space is an open-access, DIY workshop and fabrication studio.
Other site amenities for residential units include indoor bicycle storage, exercise rooms, sound
proof rooms, storage, laundry facilities, play structures, and the urban forest.
Located on the corner of Wooddale and Hwy 7 Frontage Rd is PLACE’s patent-pending E-
Generation system, located in a 4,264 square foot building and a 4,723 square foot greenhouse.
The E-generation system provides renewable energy and food generation. The system actively
balances electricity generation from solar, wind, cogeneration, and anaerobic digestion. The
completely enclosed anaerobic digestion element will convert locally-sourced food waste into
methane for electricity. The soil amendment and excess heat byproducts from the anaerobic
digestion process will support a greenhouse growing food year-round.
Architectural Design:
LEED:
PLACE proposes to design the entire project to LEED standards. This would be the first LEED
certified project in St. Louis Park.
Materials:
The applicant is requesting Nichiha, a large format high performance fiber cement rain screen
cladding system, and Enduramax, an integrated insulation with brick veneer high performance rain
screen cladding system be considered Class I Materials. These materials are proposed due to their
sustainability features and long-term warranties on both materials and installation. PLACE also
proposes installing vertically integrated photovolic panels (solar panels) as part of the building’s
façade. This material would qualify as a Class I glass material under city code.
Staff are supportive of the use of these products as Class I materials in this development.
Design:
The proposal is for a six-story mixed-use hotel at the intersection of Wooddale Avenue and West
36th Street, a six-story mixed-use building along West 36th Street, a one-story E-generation
building in the southeast quadrant of Wooddale Avenue and Hwy 7, and a 5 story mixed-use
residential building along the Hwy 7 Frontage Rd.
The mixed-use hotel is designed to be pedestrian friendly along the right-of-way, with large
transparent windows, but to but to deter LRT drop-offs from occurring on Wooddale and West
36th Street. The main entrances to the hotel and coffee shop are located on the east side of the
building, facing the woonerf/place-making plaza and the LRT station. The primary entrance to the
café is located along West 36th Street located close to the south residential building. The south
residential building’s main pedestrian entrance is opposite the café, also on West 36th Street. There
is also access from the south residential building to the woonerf. Live/work Type II storefronts
comprise the remainder of the first floor West 36th Street frontage. The primary building materials
are fibrous cement (Nichiha), brick veneer (Enduramax), glass and solar panels. The first floor of
the two south buildings are Enduramax and floors two through six are two colors of Nichiha.
Integrated near the top of the building are vertically integrated solar panels. The eastern façade of
the parking garage is cladded in a metal screen that can be utilized as a green wall, and has metal
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 8b) Page 15
Title: PLACE – Preliminary and Final Plat; Second Reading of the PUD
panels that will be used for public art. All facades of the hotel and residential building are
comprised of more than 85% of Class I materials.
The bridge linking the hotel and south residential build is located on the fourth floor and is
constructed out of metal and glass. 76.5% of the north and south facades are comprised of Class I
materials.
The north residential building materials are similar to the buildings on the south site. The first
floor is cladded in Enduramax, while floors two through five are a combination of Nichiha and
vertically integrated solar panels. The building wraps around the 0.88 acre urban forest to the
south, and is oriented to follow the frontage road to provide a welcoming pedestrian realm. The
building is primarily 5 stories in height, except for the building’s west wing, which is one story in
height with a rooftop amenity. The one story portion of the building is the location of the retail
and Maker Space. All facades are comprised of at least 98% Class I materials. There is a 16’-4”
helical wind turbine proposed on the roof of the north residential building. The wind turbine is 3’-
5” wide, and is located in the middle of the building at the location of a slight bend in the building
structure.
The E-generation building is a one to two story building. It is designed to be a prominent
component of the community, highlighting the development’s dedication to sustainability and
desire to produce energy on site. The primary façade materials include Nichiha, glass, and metal
panels. The design is intended to showcase the industrial aspect of E-generation. All facades are
comprised of at least 60% Class I materials.
Height: The hotel is proposed to be 6 stories or 75 feet 9 inches in height. The south residential
building is proposed to be 6 stories or 78 feet 8 inches in height. The north residential building is
proposed to be 5 stories or 60 feet 2 inches in height. PLACE’s E-generation building is proposed
to be 1 to 2 stories or 32 feet 10 inches in height. There is one ventilation tower at 39 feet 4 inches
tall. The solar canopy over the off-street parking lot is 18 to 20 feet tall.
Lighting: The current photometric plan meets the recommended level of 0.5-1 foot candle past the
property line. The LED lighting features chosen are consistent with the aesthetic features of the
building and are not anticipated to present a nuisance to neighboring properties.
Access:
Vehicular:
Vehicular access to the north site is from the Hwy 7 Frontage Rd via Wooddale Avenue. The
Wooddale Avenue intersection will be reconfigured to a right-in/right-out and a southbound left
in. A left turn from the frontage road onto Wooddale Avenue will be prohibited. There will be
two-way access to the E-Generation building to accommodate vehicles bringing organic material
to the building, and for residential parking.
The north residential building will be accessed via the Hwy 7 Frontage Road. A driveway on the
south side of the frontage road will be used to access the underground parking garage.
The hotel and south residential building will be accessed via a driveway off West 35th Street and
Yosemite Avenue. Traffic will come from West 36th Street and Yosemite Avenue or West 36th
Street and Xenwood Avenue. Xenwood Avenue is a signalized intersection, providing for
controlled vehicular movements in all directions. It is likely all traffic entering or exiting the
development wishing to make a left turn will utilize the signalized intersection at Xenwood
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 8b) Page 16
Title: PLACE – Preliminary and Final Plat; Second Reading of the PUD
Avenue. The hotel and south residential building can also be accessed through a right-in/right-out
entrance through the community’s south parking garage. Emergency access will occur from the
35th Street/Yosemite Avenue driveway, however, the area between the hotel and south residential
building is designed to accommodate emergency response vehicles including fire trucks.
Cedar Lake Regional Trail: PLACE has worked with the Three Rivers Park District to facilitate
two new trail connections from the public right-of-way. One of the access points is located
between the PLACE north residential building and the Cityscape apartments. The second access
point is located on the west side of the north residential building, and is designed to accommodate
higher bicycle and pedestrian traffic that may want to utilize the bike shop located directly off the
trail. PLACE is working with Three Rivers to design these access points to meet the Park District’s
standards.
Wooddale Station: PLACE has collaborated with the SWLRT Project Office to design the project
with the LRT station in mind. A SWLRT kiss and ride is located near the 35th Street/Yosemite
Avenue driveway, and PLACE has made every effort to include the SWLRT plans into the
proposed development plans. PLACE has also worked with the city and the Project Office to
design the development to discourage drop-offs along West 36th Street and Wooddale Avenue.
Loading/Service Areas: The north residential building has trash, recycling, and organic material
collection occurring on the first floor of the building, with direct service access to the Hwy 7
Frontage Road. The hotel service and trash areas are located on the first floor with direct access to
the woonerf/place-making plaza. Trash, recycling, and organic material will be collected on the
first floor of the south residential building. Organic material will be collected from the site and
transported to the E-Generation building.
A residential loading zone is provided near the entrance to the parking garage for the north
residential building, and a residential loading area is provided in the wonder/place-making plaza
for the south residential building. There are also areas for loading within the south parking garage.
Mobility Plan: PLACE proposes to develop a community that encourages a lifestyle where
residents can easily live car-free. To facilitate car-free living PLACE has developed a robust
mobility and transportation demand management plan.
PLACE will provide a car-free perks package to 90 household on a first-come, first-served basis.
For car-free households, PLACE will pay annual memberships in car-sharing and bike-sharing
programs, pay a monthly cash stipend, and provide Go-To passes with a modest monthly starting
balance. A mobility concierge will help connect people with transit options to make smooth
connections and to help overcome technological unfamiliarity. PLACE is not able to predict which
apartments will be car-free. Given the size of the cash stipend PLACE is able to offer and greater
bicycle and car-sharing experience among younger people, PLACE predicts early participation
from the one- and two-bedroom households, especially in the live/work component. Households
will register their vehicles by license number with the management company. Those who choose
to be car-free and receive the benefits must agree as part of their lease that they will remain car-
free. Residential parking entry, likely controlled by swipe card or fob, will be programmed by
apartment accordingly. Car share cars will have their own swipe cars, so that car-free residents
may still use parking when in a car share vehicle.
Parking: Parking will total 447 stalls for the overall development. After extensive research of
parking in transit-oriented developments, city staff feel that rational parking discounts are
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 8b) Page 17
Title: PLACE – Preliminary and Final Plat; Second Reading of the PUD
warranted due to the development’s proximity to light rail and PLACE’s robust mobility plan and
dedication to provide a car-free living environment. Discounts to parking are given based on
Exhibit 62 of the Official Exhibits.
A total of 216 parking spaces are located north of the rail line. PLACE is providing 61 on street
parking stalls along the Highway 7 Frontage Rd, 56 parking spaces in an off-street parking lot
located between E-Generation and the north residential building, and 99 spaces in an underground
garage. 231 parking spaces are located south of the rail line. 227 parking spaces are provided in a
four story parking garage, and four spaces are located within the woonerf, or place-making Plaza.
There are no parking spaces located along West 36th Street or Wooddale Avenue.
Staff commissioned Walker Parking Consultants to analyze PLACE’s parking proposal and
mobility plan, city parking discounts, and to share their expertise in shared parking and parking
requirements for transit-oriented development. Walker studied the city’s existing zoning
ordinance, other cities’ zoning ordinances, and case studies in similar cities. Walker also applied
their shared parking model to analyze PLACE’s proposed parking. The Walker Parking Consultant
study found that there is some risk with the amount of parking PLACE is providing, but with all
mitigations in place, the Walker Shared Parking Model suggests that the parking and development
proposed by PLACE could supply sufficient parking. The Walker shared parking model examined
peak parking hours for both week day and weekend use. The shared parking model found there to
be sufficient spaces during the week, and a 1 vehicle deficit on the weekend when 443 parking
spaces were proposed. PLACE is providing 447 parking spaces in the submitted plans.
The programming of the parking spaces is still being determined, but it is likely that parking spaces
on the north side of the property will be assigned to individual units, while parking on the south
site will have more opportunities for shared use. On-street parking will be permitted to prevent
LRT park and ride parking. There are designated LRT park and ride ramps located at the future
Beltline LRT Station and Louisiana LRT Station, both within St. Louis Park, and park and ride
activities are discouraged at the Wooddale Station.
Electric Vehicle Parking: PLACE has provided 15 electrical vehicle charging stations throughout
the development. 5 Electric car charging stations are located in the south parking garage, 5 in the
north residential underground garage, and 5 located in the off-street parking lot near E-Generation.
Bicycle Parking: Total bicycle parking provided for the project exceeds the required 344 spaces.
The applicant has provided 494 bicycle parking stalls, 335 of which are located on the north site
and 159 on the south site. There are 8 outdoor bicycle parking spaces at the E-Gen building, 24
outdoor bicycle parking spaces at the north residential building, and 24 spaces located on the south
site; 12 spaces are located near the Wooddale Station area platform and 12 spaces are located on
West 36th Street. There is one bicycle parking space located at each underground parking stall,
except the stalls with electric charging stations, and a dedicated 2,650 square foot bicycle storage
room in the north residential building.
Transit Access: This property is located at the future Wooddale Southwest LRT station, and is
served by Metro Transit Bus Route 17 and 615.
Landscaping: The landscape plan indicates 245 deciduous trees, 12 coniferous trees, 8 ornamental
trees and 422 shrubs. The project does not meet the city’s planting and tree replacement
requirements, however, the plan includes provided a variety of alternative landscaping measures
in order to meet the intent of the landscaping ordinance. These alternative measures include:
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 8b) Page 18
Title: PLACE – Preliminary and Final Plat; Second Reading of the PUD
29,500 square feet of greenroofs, a woonerf/place-making space, outdoor play structures,
fireplaces, outdoor space located on the roof, and plentiful public art. The landscaping along West
36th Street exceeds the suggested landscaping plan completed by SEH in 2006 and the landscaping
on Wooddale Avenue will enhance the pedestrian realm and will deter drop-offs along both street
frontages.
Designed Outdoor Recreation Area (DORA): The plan exceeds the City’s minimum 12% DORA
requirements, and provides approximately 16.4% of DORA. The proposed development plans
illustrate DORA through the inclusion of the 37,575 square feet of designed outdoor space.
PLACE proposes 33,560 square feet of urban forest located adjacent to the Cedar Lake Regional
Trail. The urban forest will provide active outdoor space for both residents of the development
and the greater St. Louis Park community. Within the urban forest programmed space will include
play equipment and residential amenities (fire pits, grills, outdoor seating) and informal walking
paths. Public art installments will also be incorporated into the urban forest.
In addition, the northern residential building includes 1,376 square feet of shared balcony space
and 735 square feet of rooftop amenity space. The shared balcony space is located on the east side
of the building, with views to downtown Minneapolis, while the rooftop space is located on the
west side of the building near the bike shop and the entrance to the regional trail.
The south site includes 728 square feet of rooftop space located above the bridge between the hotel
and the residential building, and 424 square feet of performance space located in the Place-making
Plaza. A 752 square foot dog run is located on the east side of the residential building.
Public Art: As a community for creatives, PLACE proposes a vigorous public art plan throughout
the development. Beyond live/work, art will be integrated throughout the site via art installations
curated by the Museum of Outdoor Arts. Community-led art components will involve
collaboration with local artists, schools, and organizations. 8 to 10 art installations will be
interwoven into the urban forest, and additional pieces will be installed in the woonerf, and other
publicly accessible pedestrian areas within the development, including areas on the buildings
themselves. Multipurpose spaces will feature exhibits and presentations from creatives as well as
host community gatherings. PLACE is also working with the city to maintain and reuse the existing
public art that is located along W. 36th Street.
Sustainability and Energy Efficiency: Every inhabitant of the development will benefit from low
energy costs; the Project will produce approximately 90% of its own energy, achieve LEED
certification, and meet Minnesota Green Communities criteria.
PLACE’s patent-pending E-Generation system will bring additional benefits to the development
and the broader community with renewable energy and food generation. The system actively
balances electricity generation from solar, wind, and anaerobic digestion. The completely enclosed
anaerobic digestion element will convert locally-sourced food waste into methane for electricity.
The soil amendment and excess heat byproducts from the anaerobic digestion process will support
a greenhouse growing food year-round.
The E-Generation facility will hold the anaerobic digestion, energy storage, and greenhouse, and
will be placed in a highly visible location on Wooddale to showcase the state-of-the-art energy
generation equipment and greenhouse. Organization and school tours will offer a deeper dive into
understanding the inner workings of E-Generation.
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 8b) Page 19
Title: PLACE – Preliminary and Final Plat; Second Reading of the PUD
The city adopted zoning regulations to allow for anaerobic digesters in April 2014. Those
regulations allow for a system that processes up to 30,000 tons of material annually to be located
in an I-G General Industrial zoned parcel, which is the current zoning for the E-Generation parcel.
The ordinance established the conditions related to odor control, noise, operating procedures,
storage, and permitting relating to anaerobic digestion. These regulations were adopted based upon
research and expertise from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, planning staff in other cities,
environmental specialists, Hennepin County organics/recycling staff, managers of other digesters,
and professors at the University of Minnesota. City staff included Building Official, Fire Marshal,
Planning, and Operations staff.
E-Generation will be required to adhere to the city’s zoning regulations for anaerobic digesters.
PLACE’s E-Generation system will process less than 1,000 tons of organic material annually, with
a maximum capacity of 3,000 tons annually. This is one-tenth the material allowed under the
existing zoning. The building and all internal systems will be built to all applicable building and
fire codes, and in accordance with any other required permits. PLACE is using a pre-manufactured,
self-contained anaerobic digester manufactured by SEaB Energy Ltd. The system is fully
contained within an ISO Intermodal Shipping Container which will be fully enclosed within the
E-Generation building.
The organic material will be collected from within the PLACE development and possibly from a
local brewery. Approximately one trip per day with 6 to 10 55-gallon plastic drums will be picked
up from the brewery and will be brought to the E-Generation facility. The drop off will occur
within the confines of the building. The organic waste material collected from within the PLACE
development will occur on a daily basis with approximately two trips per building per day. The
drop off happens within the confines of the building. A small electric cart will be used to deliver
organic material to the facility. A total of 10 electric cart trips per day will supply all of the organic
material needed to operate the E-Generation system.
All materials will be transported to E-Generation in lidded containers and will be unloaded within
the confines of the building. The system employs negative pressure and triple-redundant carbon
filtering to eliminate any odors. The zoning ordinance and the language in the PLACE PUD
prohibits any odors from being detectable outside of the building containing the digester system.
The byproduct of E-Generation is organic feed that is dried to 80 percent. No odor can be detected
and the finished feed material will go out on 40”x42” pallets. Up to 14 pallets of material will be
picked up weekly. The pickup will be every other day to twice a week depending upon output. The
door will open and material will be loaded to a cube truck. This will be done with an electric
fork. Returned pallets will be stacked internally and will not be placed outside.
As part of E-Generation, a greenhouse will produce enough organic food to fill subscriptions to
300 Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) shares for the PLACE community. There is a cold
storage unit for storing produce within the E-Generation facility and food will be shuttled through
the PLACE development using the electric vehicle. Loading will happen internally with a
vestibule.
Solar photovoltaic panels will be located throughout the site on building roofs, over the surface
parking lot, and incorporated into building façades. A helical wind turbine will be located on the
top of the north residential building. The wind turbine is 3’5” in width and 16’4” tall. It will be
installed in the middle portion of the north residential building. The wind turbine’s fall zone is
located completely on PLACE’s property and does not pose a risk to adjacent properties. The
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 8b) Page 20
Title: PLACE – Preliminary and Final Plat; Second Reading of the PUD
applicant proposes illuminating the wind turbine, showcasing PLACE’s use of renewable energy
sources. The city’s zoning ordinance allows wind turbines and the Planning Commission is
supportive of the helical wind turbines location on the roof of a building verses ground-mounted
wind energy.
Signs: A sign plan was not submitted for review. Signs will require permits and shall comply with
the MX Mixed Use District standards.
Utilities: All small utilities will be placed underground. Utility service structures, such as a
generator and transformer, will be screened completely from off-site with materials consistent with
main building facade. Per the development agreement, buildings will provide the necessary
infrastructure to take advantage of fiber-optic service lines in the vicinity of the development.
Maintenance: The south hotel and residential buildings are located within Special Service District
#6. The property owner pays a special service assessment annually, and the city provides
landscaping and street maintenance for the 36th Street streetscape. The properties will remain in
Special Service District #6. PLACE will be required to maintain all other streetscape maintenance
responsibilities and any privately owned site amenities including public art, trails, and the urban
forest. Maintenance details will be addressed in the Planning Development Contract.
PLANNING COMMISSION: The Planning Commission held a public hearing on March 15,
2017 to gather comments on the PLACE development. Three people voiced concerns regarding
the development and asked that the decision be delayed. Four people spoke in favor of the
development.
Concerns included increased traffic, concerns regarding lessened parking requirements, dislike of
the six-story height, concerns about the uncertainty of LRT construction, and safety concerns with
the development’s affordable component. Comments of support for the development included
support for artistic communities, desire to live car-free, supportive of live-work opportunities, and
supportive of opportunities to better the health of families through walkability and sustainability.
The Planning Commission voted 5 to 0 to recommend approval of the Comprehensive Plan
Amendment, and voted 4 to 1 to recommend approval of the preliminary and final plat and the
preliminary and final Planned Unit Development with conditions recommended in the staff report.

3. Public Hearings
A. PLACE Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment; Preliminary and Final PUD;
Preliminary and Final Plat
Location: 5605 W. 36th Street
Applicant: PLACE E-generation One, LLC
Case No: 17-04-CP, 17-05-S, 17-06-PUD, 17-07-VAR
Jennifer Monson, Planner, presented the staff report. Ms. Monson provided the
development summary and site information. She said for the last 20 years the city has
anticipated the site to redevelop and has actively purchased properties around the site for
that redevelopment. The expectation is that it would redevelop into a transit oriented mixed
use development. Ms. Monson spoke about the land use and transportation studies in the
area which identify the site as future transit oriented development.
Ms. Monson provided background on PLACE’s proposal which began with discussions in
November, 2013. She reviewed the public process for PLACE which has occurred since
that time.
The applicant requests a change to the future land use designation of the site to MX Mixed
Use to create a pedestrian scale mixed use building with retail service or other commercial
uses on the ground floor, and residential or office uses on upper floors. Ms. Monson stated
that MX Mixed Use is intended to facilitate a diversity of uses in certain areas of the
community. She reviewed the goals and vision of the Mixed Use designation in the
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 8b) Page 48
Title: PLACE – Preliminary and Final Plat; Second Reading of the PUD
Comprehensive Plan and the availability of infrastructure which staff uses to analyze
requests.
Ms. Monson spoke about the Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) which has
been completed. The comment period for the EAW ends on April 5, 2017.
Ms. Monson discussed city improvements to be made to the transportation network related
to SWLRT and the PLACE development.
Ms. Monson provided staff analysis of the request for Preliminary and Final Plat which
would combine nine properties in the northeast quadrant of Wooddale Ave. and W. 36th
Street intersection.
Ms. Monson discussed the PUD request, including the helical wind turbine to be located
on the property. She discussed the robust mobility plan which includes a bike share and
car share. She discussed parking, building materials, landscaping, sustainability and
energy efficiency.
Ms. Monson stated on Feb. 23, 2017 PLACE held its 8th neighborhood meeting with 60
people in attendance. Concerns included increased traffic, inadequate parking, density,
hotel, number of affordable units and increase of neighborhood taxes. Support included
the density near light rail, dedication to car-free living, building design, inclusion of
affordable housing and the community offered by the project such as the woonerf and urban
forest.
Chris Velasco, applicant, PLACE E-generation One, stated that PLACE exists for the
purpose of building healthy communities for all and specializes in creating communities
that are for the arts and feature a high degree of sustainable design. He provided examples
of live/work spaces in the project.
Mr. Velasco spoke about Marriott’s interest in the proposed hotel. This would bundle
housing and jobs together. He said three independent market studies completed for hotel
at the site were positive. He spoke about PLACE and Marriott’s relationship with Park
Nicollet Health Services. Patients and families could stay one-half mile from Park Nicollet
clinics and the hospital.
Mr. Velasco explained the sustainability features of the project. He discussed benefits of
the development to the St. Louis Park community.
Commissioner Carper asked how residents would commute until 2021 when SWLRT is
projected to begin.
Ms. Monson responded that the city is requiring the developer to offer a shuttle for the first
three years or until SWLRT is complete. The hotel will also be providing a shuttle to and
from the airport.
Commissioner Carper and Ms. Monson discussed standards, height, pole, location, sound
and code regarding the proposed helical turbine.
Mr. Velasco provided dimensions for the proposed turbine.

Title: PLACE – Preliminary and Final Plat; Second Reading of the PUD
Sean Walther, Planning and Zoning Supervisor, noted that code would allow a helical style
turbine, however the ordinance contemplated a rotary style. The main modification being
requested through PUD is to allow a rooftop mounted turbine rather than a ground mounted
turbine. He said staff believes that would also reduce the overall height of the turbine that
is required.
Commissioner Rickert asked if apartments would be sound proofed for musicians.
Mr. Velasco responded that is very difficult to do for apartment units. Four soundproof
rooms will be built, however.
Commissioner Rickert asked who would have access to the Urban Forest area.
Mr. Velasco said anyone in the community would have access to the Urban Forest area, all
year long.
Commissioner Kanne asked what would happen if the hotel fails.
Mr. Velasco responded he thinks the relationship PLACE has with Park Nicollet and
Methodist Hospital would prevent that from happening. Their use of the hotel will assure
high occupancy. He said the three feasibility studies done on a proposed hotel do not
indicate failure.
Commissioner Kanne spoke about the email sent by resident Janet Zastrow, 3700
Wooddale Ave. S., which referenced the Schmidt Artist Lofts in St. Paul as a development
community for artists. Commissioner Kanne said she understands one of the problems
with that development is that artists are resisting rules and regulations.
Mr. Velasco stated he has a great deal of experience in development for the arts and
live/work units. He spoke about very specific rules called house privileges and
commitments which are shared with applicants.
Chair Peilen asked how traffic would proceed south on Wooddale Ave.
Jack Sullivan, staff engineer reviewing PLACE, and staff liaison for SWLRT, said a small
percentage of drivers will want to make a left turn. He said driver behavior and habits will
transition over time for right turn movements at that location. Vehicle movements will use
Hwy. 100 and Hwy. 7 access locations. He said he anticipates very little traffic heading to
or from the Sorensen neighborhood. He added that the removal of the left turn out would
have happened with or without the PLACE development.
Chair Peilen said the number of required parking spots has been reduced but less car-use
is an experiment. She asked if that doesn’t work is there a way to get more parking spaces.
Ms. Monson said the developer has been required to provide a Proof of Parking document
which shows they could provide another 55 parking spaces. There are also other
opportunities where spaces could be leased in the neighborhood.
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 8b) Page 50
Title: PLACE – Preliminary and Final Plat; Second Reading of the PUD
Chair Peilen said two-thirds of the units are affordable housing. She asked if PLACE would
have the budget to maintain the building with those lower rents.
Mr. Velasco said developers must contribute heavily to capitalized operating and
replacement reserves upfront and those are deemed sufficient for maintenance and
improvements.
Chair Peilen commented that her biggest concern is that so much of the project is predicated
on light rail occurring.
Commissioner Johnston-Madison read from Walker Parking consultant conclusion on page
eight. She said she is concerned about the lag time between light rail operation and the
time people start moving into PLACE. She said she is concerned during those three years
there will be parking and traffic in the neighborhood. She said she’s concerned that this is
an experiment. She asked about the Level of Service summary.
Mr. Sullivan stated that the Level of Service designation is per intersection. Level of
Service D or better is what the Council and Engineering department have historically used
as acceptable.
Commissioner Johnston-Madison said the city needs to have developments that don’t
perpetuate Level of Service D throughout this entire quadrant. She said the City Council
has heard from many people that they are unhappy with this and it doesn’t seem the issue
is being listened to.
Commissioner Johnston-Madison asked about incentives for not driving.
Mr. Velasco said the car-free perks include a $70/month stipend to not have a car.
Commissioner Johnston-Madison spoke about poor bus service prior to light rail.
Mr. Velasco spoke about discussions held with Metro Transit about improved levels of bus
service prior to light rail operation.
Commissioner Johnston-Madison spoke about a January 2016 neighborhood meeting
where PLACE spoke about additional organic waste to be shipped in for the generator.
She asked why this has been dropped from plans.
Mr. Velasco said PLACE had been discussing working with the City’s organic program
for this but there was a mis-match in sorting. He said it seems the best thing to do was to
scale down the E-generation facility. Spent grain will also be provided by Steel Toe
Brewery to bolster PLACE’s local collection.
Commissioner Carper asked about shading.
Mr. Walther responded that there are exceptions to shading when the shadow occurs within
the PUD. On this site the northwest corner of 36th & Yosemite would be impacted. The
west wall of the existing one-story commercial building would be impacted.
Chair Peilen opened the public hearing.
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 8b) Page 51
Title: PLACE – Preliminary and Final Plat; Second Reading of the PUD
Roger Onken, 3600 Wooddale Ave. S. #212, stated he loves the philosophy and design.
He doesn’t like the height of the building. He said he thinks six stories for St. Louis Park
is too high. Reducing the height would reduce the number of units and parking spaces.
He doesn’t feel assured that enough people would choose to go car-free at the development,
particularly with the delay of light rail. He said he doesn’t like the inadequate tree and
shrub count. He said the employees and customers related to live/work units would require
more parking. He said he is concerned about the impact of a hotel of that size on the
neighborhood. He said he felt there is a lot of unknown with the proposal. He stated he is
concerned about his building’s driveway exit to get on to Highway 7. There will be a better
sense of the perfect scenario with light rail in 2021. He said he thought the turbine would
be intrusive with the height of the building. He said he didn’t like the proposed setback on
36th and Wooddale.
Sheila Asato, Monkey Bridge Arts, 6801 W. Lake St., said PLACE sounds ideal for studio
space and light rail. She asked if units are rental or for sale.
James McDonough, 2840 Cavell, a 42-year resident, said he is heavily involved in the arts
in St. Louis Park. He said he is fully supportive of the project and understands creative
visioning involves a risk. He said that is the way with all progress and development. Mr.
McDonough said his hope is that PLACE’s rental apartment development will be his next
destination. He said he encourages the Commission’s strong and full support for the
project.
Russell Griesner, 3700 Wooddale Ave S. #14, commented that as a creative he couldn’t be
more excited about PLACE. He said it is exactly what St. Louis Park needs and it is the
reason he was attracted to this community. He said he doesn’t think it is an experiment
with the traffic. He said we live in a time where car-free desire is here, now. He stated
members of his family would love to have living space which is car-free.
Alonso Ramos, 3738 Dakota Ave. S., stated that he just bought his first house and is new
in the neighborhood. He said he is concerned about decrease of property values related to
affordable. He said the project minimizes winter and car concerns. He said he used to live
in affordable housing in Minnesota. He spoke about problems and disrespect he
experienced. He said he is concerned about security and safety with affordable housing
with light rail. He said the Lake and Hiawatha rail station is scary. He spoke about a study
which shows higher housing property crimes in areas with affordable housing. He said he
isn’t opposed to the project but the location is the wrong location. Mr. Ramos distributed
copies of his notes.
Danielle Griesner, 3700 Wooddale Ave. S., #14, stated her background is public health and
she works to better the health of families and communities to make the healthy choice the
easy choice. She said is excited about walkability and sustainability which is why her
family moved to St. Louis Park and she is in full support of the project.
J.W. Starrett, 5825 Goodrich Ave. S., said his concern is traffic and parking. He said it is
a very exciting project for the community. He said he feels like they’ve been backed into
this. The expectations and innovation are good in the beginning. He said the expectations
have all moved backwards to a point where an adequate level is met for right now. He said
he is excited about the future but we aren’t ready for 2021. He said he doesn’t think the
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 8b) Page 52
Title: PLACE – Preliminary and Final Plat; Second Reading of the PUD
traffic numbers are giving the right picture and he recommends that the Planning
Commission conduct another traffic study. It will make a big difference as to why this
works. Mr. Starrett said he has concerns about all the new rental units in the city which
are at full occupancy which affects traffic and parking. He said Fair Housing will make
sure everyone gets in and the management won’t be able to force everyone to be an artist
or to follow the rules. He said the city needs to be realistic about the numbers and that we
haven’t backed ourselves into a project.
Chair Peilen acknowledged the receipt of an email dated March 14, 2017, from Janet
Zastrow, 3700 Wooddale Ave. S., #5, expressing concerns about the project. Also received
is a letter dated March 13, 2017, from Joel A. Hilgendorf, attorney representing Standal
Properties, objecting to the request for variance to the shading requirement.
Chair Peilen closed the public hearing as no one else was present wishing to speak.
Chair Peilen stated that the city has very stringent rental regulations and she is assured that
PLACE will be required to do background checks on all rental applicants. She said there
is a very strong inspections and complaint process in the city as well as very strong rental
housing laws.
Mr. Walther said the live/work spaces for employee parking was factored in to studies.
Peak times are studied as largest demand in parking studies. Peak time for live/work spaces
is daytime. Peak time for hotel is around 9 p.m. Parking is not public; it is for commercial
uses, for residents and for hotel guests on the site.
Mr. Walther spoke about hotel experience in the city. The city’s parking requirement for
hotels is recognized by staff as being high and is routinely reviewed for reductions. Hotel
market professionals say .8 or 1 space per room is the going demand for parking for most
of the hotel chains. The city’s requirement is 1.5 spaces which covered other mixed uses
on a site. He said PLACE’s hotel is a limited service hotel and restaurant parking is
calculated separately.
Mr. Walther said all units are rental apartments and there are no for sale units included.
Mr. Walther said if the turbine is located on the E-generation building it would be closer
to the range of 64-66 ft. tall which is not out of line with the height of the buildings which
are proposed for the project.
Ms. Monson said the 10 feet which was mentioned as setback is the amount of land that
PLACE is dedicating to the city for right-of-way, it’s not the setback from the curb line.
The setback on Wooddale is 15 feet and on 36th Street the setback is significantly more
than 26 feet.
Ms. Monson stated the way the PUD is written all live/work type 1 cannot have any outside
employees working there. The maximum number of employees for live/work type 2 is
two.
Commissioner Johnston-Madison asked about car sharing.
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2017 (Item No. 8b) Page 53
Title: PLACE – Preliminary and Final Plat; Second Reading of the PUD
Ms. Monson said PLACE is looking at using HourCar. If for some reason there isn’t a
company offering those services the developer could purchase ten cars and those could
serve as car shares for the development. Ten parking spaces have been included in the
requirements.
Mr. Walther reviewed the Environmental Action Worksheet (EAW) process and timeline.
Commissioner Carper asked for heights of the area residential developments.
Ms. Monson said the proposed Elmwood development on the east side of 36th Street is 77
feet tall (6 stories). Hoigaard Village to the north is approximately 67 ft tall (5 stories).
Tower Light directly south is 5 stories tall. Buildings kitty corner to PLACE are
approximately 3 ½ stories tall.
Ms. Monson commented that the city did a streetscape plan in 2006 looking at landscaping
and setbacks on 36th St. as well as building setbacks and how the road would function with
the lane width. The dedication required on 36th St. is being required to meet that plan.
Chair Peilen said the project is so bold and progressive but her biggest concern are
challenges if light rail doesn’t happen. The success of project seems completely linked to
light rail.
Mr. Velasco replied that PLACE has been working closely with SWLRT and they have
said they are moving forward and have given no indication PLACE has anything to worry
about in that regard. He added that if something should go wrong and there is no light rail,
a good transit oriented development can still be done. He said the nature of car ownership
and mobility is changing dramatically and PLACE will be able to take advantage of new
technologies coming.
Commissioner Johnston-Madison said she has always liked the project and thinks it’s a
great experiment. But all the numbers that make the project work on paper are right up to
the edge on everything. She said she likes the north side of the project. But there are too
many questions about hotel and wind turbine. She said she doesn’t think the project is
ready. She said we can’t afford as a city to approve a project when the viability relates to
unanswered questions. She said she can’t recommend approval for the plat and PUD.
Commissioner Carper said he was concerned prior to the meeting but his issues have been
satisfactorily cleared up. Regarding concern of concentration of affordable housing, he
said developers have been encouraged to provide affordable housing through TIF. He
commented that affordable housing is scarce in the city. He said he is uncomfortable with
a turbine so enormous in the area but there are other existing large structures within the
city. Regarding light rail, he said PLACE could be delayed three years at great expense
and three years of an innovative project will have been lost. He said all developments come
with a risk.
Commissioner Kanne said her biggest worry has always been about traffic. She lives in the
Elmwood neighborhood and has children who ride bikes in the area. She said she has
watched all the new development happen in Elmwood and said the intersection is a
nightmare. She added that she is proud to live in a city that would bring such a project to
the city and she is in total support of it.

City Council.
4. Other Business: None
5. Communications
Commissioner Carper asked if the turbine issue might come up for a zoning ordinance
amendment.
Mr. Walther said the PLACE PUD ordinance would create the rules for that site to allow
that particular use. But it does open up a larger policy question for other sites in the
community. He suggested that might be discussed in the upcoming revision of the
Comprehensive Plan.
Mr. Walther spoke about upcoming events including Town Hall for Vision 3.0, Facebook
Live for Vision 3.0, and the State of the City.
