EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Xcel and CenterPoint Franchise Agreement Renewal
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: No action at this time. The purpose of this report and study
session discussion is to inform the City Council of the status of discussions with the renewal of
the two franchise agreements with CenterPoint Energy and Xcel Energy.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does the City Council have questions about the franchise
agreement renewal terms and process?
SUMMARY: Since 2013, the City has been working on renewing the franchise agreements with
CenterPoint Energy and Xcel Energy. The City has approved two extensions, one in 2012 and one
in 2015. The latest extension is set to expire on December 31, 2016. City staff has been in contact
with both utilities regarding this upcoming deadline, and there is mutual interest in working on
this new agreement. The approval for these agreements through the City Council and Public
Utilities Commission takes approximately 5 months.
The City has been working with Xcel since March on the terms of the agreement renewal. City
Attorney, Soren Mattick, has been involved in the discussions and has reviewed and commented
on the proposed agreement. The two utility companies have reviewed city staff/ attorney
comments on the draft agreement, and we are seeking council feedback on one outstanding item
with Xcel relating to the term of the franchise agreement. A draft agreement will be provided to
the City Council prior to the meeting on Monday.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: The City’s Pavement Management Program
is currently funded by franchise fee revenues, collected by both Xcel and CenterPoint Energy.
Based on the current fees, total franchise fees generate approximately $2.3 million annually
(CenterPoint - $889,524; Xcel - $1,420,116). The City is not able to receive these revenues without
a franchise agreement with each utility.
VISION CONSIDERATION: Not applicable.

Title: Xcel and CenterPoint Franchise Agreement Renewal
DISCUSSION
BACKGROUND: The City currently has franchise agreements with Xcel Energy and with
CenterPoint Energy. City staff approached staff from these two utilities earlier this year to begin
discussing renewal of their respective franchise agreements. At that time staff discussed issues/
concerns with each respective utility. Since then each utility has provided us a proposed agreement
for consideration. City Attorney, Soren Mattick, has been involved in the renewal discussions and
has reviewed and commented on the proposed agreements. The most recent conversations held
during the past several weeks involved discussing the adoption process, schedule, issues, and
proposed agreements. Each utility is currently considering city staff/ attorney comments to the
proposed agreements.
Xcel Energy (Xcel)
After reviewing city staff/ attorney comments, there were three areas of the agreement where Xcel
and the City did not agree. They were:
Permit fees: Initial comments from Xcel indicated that they wanted to include language in the
agreement that waived the requirement to collect right- of- way permit fees. Subsequent
discussions with Xcel have indicated that they have agreed to pay for right- of- way permit fees,
and would not require this language in the document. This issue has been resolved.
Performance bond language: In lieu of performance bond language, Xcel Energy has agreed to
include a section in the agreement that will formalize their commitment to work with us on
reliability, performance and infrastructure planning. This issue has been resolved.
Franchise term: Xcel has proposed a franchise agreement term of 20 years. The City has indicated
a 10 year term would be acceptable. City staff feels 10 years is reasonable given anticipated
significant changes in technology, science, and energy production methods in the future. Xcel is
not in support of this position. This issue has not been resolved and is something staff desires to
discuss with the Council.
Assuming an agreement can be reached with Xcel, staff is proposing to adopt the new Xcel
Franchise Agreement and Franchise Fee increase at the same time utilizing the process, steps, and
schedule shown below.
CenterPoint Energy (CPE)
City staff has not identified any issues associated with adoption of a new franchise agreement with
CPE. Staff is proposing to revise the CPE agreement to make it consistent with the Xcel agreement.
CPE generally seems amenable to these proposals.
Staff is proposing to adopt the new CPE Franchise Agreement and Franchise Fee increase utilizing
the same process, steps, and schedule as that proposed for Xcel.
Adoption Process and Schedule
The following adoption process applies to each of the franchise agreements:
1. Ordinances must contain all the terms and conditions of the franchise
2. These ordinances require a public hearing
3. Hearing notice must be published at least once in the City's official newspaper at least
twenty (20) days prior to the public hearing.
Special Study Session Meeting of July 18, 2016 (Item No. 1) Page 3

4. At least seven days must pass between first reading (public hearing) and 2nd reading
5. At second reading motion will be “Motion to adopt the ordinance, approve the summary
and authorize summary publication”
6. Ordinance becomes effective 15 days following summary publication OR date certain
specified (must be a minimum of 15 days following summary publication)
7. Utility requires a 90 day review / notice period after Council adoption in order to implement
the ordinance and franchise fees and notify the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Assessment Policy
RECOMMENDED ACTION: No action at this time. This report is a continuation of a several
month long process the Council has been going through to update the City’s assessment policies.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does the draft policy reflect the direction provided by the
Council?
SUMMARY: The City’s assessment policy was last updated in 2000; prior to that the policy was
updated more frequently. The following improvement areas are ones that have historically been
assessed in the City of St. Louis Park:
1. Paving, Curb and Gutter- Discussed on 11/9/15

Title: Assessment Policy
DISCUSSION
BACKGROUND: Since November 2015, the City Council has provided direction on the use of
special assessments to fund a number of public improvements. In general, the City Council’s
direction for the public improvements discussed as a part of this policy was “If there is a public
purpose for the infrastructure, the City should fund construction.” In discussing the proposed
policy with the City Attorney, it was determined that the policy should only include those areas
where the City will assess for public improvements that are not covered by City Code. Many of
the improvements in the 2000 policy are incorporated into the City Code. What follows is a
summary of how each area that was originally in the 2000 Assessment Policy have been addressed.
1. Streets:
It is recommended that Franchise fees and Municipal State Aid funds be used to pay for street
rehabilitation and reconstruction projects. The updated policy does not include street
assessments.
2. Alleys:
It is recommended that franchise fees be used to pay for alley reconstruction projects. The
updated policy does not include alley assessments.
3. Sidewalks:
City Council supports active transportation, including Bikeway, Sidewalks and Trails. In the
interest of constructing a continuous network of sidewalks throughout the City as robust as our
street system, City Council has developed a Connect the Park! Capital Improvement Plan. The
projects currently identified in Connect the Park have been factored into a longer term financial
plan. It is recommended that General Obligation Bonds/ Property Tax Levy be used to pay for
Bikeway, Sidewalk and Trails. The updated policy does not include sidewalk assessments.
4. Street lighting:
As requests for streetlights are received, consideration for installation will be given based on
public purpose. The main public purpose would be safety; aesthetics alone would not be
considered a public purpose. It is recommended that streetlights installed for a public purpose
be paid for using General Obligation Bonds/Property Tax Levy.
5. Administrative Items:
Administrative items include:
Storm Sewer, Sanitary Sewer Mains and Services- covered in code, no changes
Watermain and Services - covered in code, no changes
Delinquent Charges - covered in code, no changes
Fire Sprinkler Systems – included in policy, no changes
Many of these areas are initiated through a petition from the property owner to assist with financing
of private improvements or the extension of a public utility line to serve a new development.
Others are set up in our ordinances as ways to recoup costs for unpaid bills or nuisance
abatement. There were no proposed changes to these items. However, most of the items are
included in the City Code, so they are not included in the attached policy. Below is a cross
reference to indicate the areas that were removed from the Special Assessment Policy and
where in the City Code they are covered.

Upon review, staff has determined that these code sections should be updated to ensure that
they are consistent with each other and with our current City policies. Code updates will be
brought to the City Council at a future meeting.
6. Fire Sprinkler Systems:
Our current assessment policy provides an opportunity for property owners to finance the cost
to install a fire sprinkler system in existing buildings. The Fire Department strongly supports
this program. This opportunity is available to all land uses. This process is initiated by the
property owner through a petition, and the conditions of the reimbursement are laid out in a
contract that is approved by City Council. All the costs incurred by the City are reimbursed
by the petitioner.
This area is included in the attached assessment policy.
7. Municipal Parking Lots:
The city owns and operates 10 municipal parking lots. These lots are located throughout the
City and are not adjacent to City buildings. The primary uses for these lots is for transit park
and ride or private property parking. Annual and seasonal maintenance are performed by
Operations. Staff has developed a plan that will reconstruct these parking lots over 6 years,
between 2017 and 2023. The draft assessment policy includes municipal lots.
In order to move forward with each project, the following process will be followed:
The City Council will order a Feasibility Report for each lot. This would happen the
year before proposed reconstruction.
Complete a parking study to determine which properties have customers or employees
that are using the lot.
Complete a land use review to determine parking ratios required by City Code.
Determine if the property has adequate private parking.
Using this information, determine the number of stalls to assign to each property to
meet the City Code parking requirements.
Work with all property owners surrounding the lots to discuss the projects and proposed
assessments.
Provide a recommendation to the City Council on the project. Recommendations may
include moving ahead with reconstruction or elimination of the parking lot.
Once a lot is reconstructed, staff would work through a process to assess property owners
for annual maintenance. The City Attorney is assisting staff on the best way to move this
forward.
Assessment Policy- Draft
I. Introduction
A special assessment is a levy on a property for a particular improvement that benefits
the owner(s) of the property. The authority is provided to cities through MN Statutes §,
Chapter 429. Special assessments assign cost of the improvement to those receiving a
direct benefit from the improvement.
Assessment amounts are based upon the total cost of the particular improvement and are
allocated by the Council as guided by this policy. The amount assessed against any
particular parcel shall not be greater than the increase in the market value of the property
due to the improvement.
The City Council has the authority to deviate from this policy as deemed appropriate by
the Council or when the law requires such a deviation. When the City deviates from the
policies identified in this document, it will identify the reasons for the deviation in the
feasibility report or at the public hearings associated with the public improvement.
This policy does not supersede or replace assessment references in the City Code.
II. Improvements to be Assessed
A. Municipal Parking Lots
The city owns and operates municipal parking lots that are not adjacent to City buildings.
The primary uses for these lots is for Transit park and ride or private property parking.
1. Costs to be Assessed
a. Reconstruction or Rehabilitation
When the condition of the parking lot requires reconstruction or rehabilitation, the total
project cost may be levied as a special assessment to benefitting properties in accordance
with this policy. The assessment will be levied on a project specific basis.
b. Maintenance Costs
Annual, seasonal, and preventative maintenance are performed by the City. The total
cost may be assessed to benefitting properties on an annual basis.
2. Benefitting Properties
The following information will be used to determine the benefitting properties and the
number of stalls to assign to each benefitting property for the assessment rate:
A parking study will be completed to determine the parking lot users. Benefitting properties
are ones that have customers or employees that are using the lot.
A land use review of surrounding properties will be done to determine parking ratios required
by City Code and prior approvals. This is done to determine if the properties have adequate
private parking. If a property does not have adequate private parking or if parking spaces in
Special Study Session Meeting of July 18, 2016 (Item No. 2)
Title: Assessment Policy Page 4
Draft- July 10, 2016 Page 2 of 5
the lot were counted to meet their parking ratios, they will be considered a benefitting
property.
3. Assessment Rate
The assessment rate shall be per parking stall. To calculate this rate, the total cost will be
divided by the number of stalls in the parking lot. Each benefitting property will be assigned
a number of stalls within the parking lot.
This rate will be applicable to all reconstruction or rehabilitation projects and annual
maintenance costs.
The stall assignment is for assessment purposes only. The parking stalls are not for exclusive
use of the properties assessed.
B. Fire Sprinkler Systems
Property owners may petition the city to assess the costs install a fire sprinkler system in an
existing building. To be considered under this policy, the proposed work shall result in the
sprinkling of the entire building in compliance with the applicable City ordinance and state
laws. Petitions will be responded to by the Fire Department.
1. Petition
The petition must meet the requirements of MS Chapter 429, as they apply to fire
sprinkler systems. The petition, can be in the form of a letter or email, and shall include

installation and proper operation of the fire sprinkler system.
d) The petitioner(s) must waive all rights to the public hearing and any appeal of the
special assessment adopted by the City Council and
e) Signatures of all property owners.
All petitions for the special assessment of the project must be received and acted upon by
the City Council prior to the start of any fire sprinkler installation. The City shall not
approve the petition until it has reviewed and approved the plans, specifications, and cost
estimates contained in the petition.
Consideration of any petition made under this policy is subject to a determination by the
City Council, in its sole discretion, that sufficient City funds are available for the project.
City staff will periodically advise the Council with regard to the availability of
appropriate funds.

Inspections, Operations, and Engineering have been reviewing this policy and updating it so that
it is current and consistent with legal guidance.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: The recommended assessment policy for the
various improvements will have funding implications. Information regarding financial impacts
are discussed in this report.

Title: Assessment Policy Page 9
DISCUSSION
BACKGROUND: Since November 2015, the City Council has provided direction on the use of
special assessments to fund a number of public improvements. In general, the City Council’s
direction for the public improvements discussed as a part of this policy was “If there is a public
purpose for the infrastructure, the City should fund construction.” What follows is a summary of
the proposed assessment policy for each of these areas:
1. Streets:
The City has 146 centerline miles of streets under our jurisdiction. These streets are broken
down into two categories, Municipal State Aid (MSA) and local streets. There are 37 miles of
MSA streets, 108 miles of improved local streets and 1 mile of unimproved streets in the City.
The 2000 assessment policy differentiated assessments based on land use and road type. The
policy discussed with Council in November 2015 resulted in the following guidance:
Residential Property: No assessments for any level of street construction.
All other land uses: Assess up to 50% of the reconstruction cost, including Engineering
and Administration for any level of street construction.
An improved street usually requires rehabilitation every 20-30 years. Rehabilitation
techniques such as mill and overlay or reclaim and overlay are used to maintain the pavement
condition.
Unimproved streets do not have curb and gutter, adequate base or asphalt, or proper drainage.
Therefore they require complete reconstruction. After they are improved, they can be
maintained by rehabilitation.
This need to rehabilitate streets is continuous, to meet this need the City implemented a
Pavement Management Program (PMP) in 2004. This eight-year cycle focuses on
maintenance and rehabilitation activities for improved residential local streets in one area of
the City every year. An eight-year cycle was chosen based on preventive maintenance research
which shows that roads, in good condition, should be sealcoated every 6-10 years. To
accomplish this, the City was divided into 8 areas of comparable size in terms of pavement
square footage. The areas were also divided along neighborhood boundaries in order to
facilitate communications and public process.
We are a little over halfway through the second cycle of the PMP. The City uses the proceeds
of franchise fees with Xcel Energy and CenterPoint Energy to pay for local residential streets.
When there is utility infrastructure that requires replacement, franchise fees are supplemented
by Sewer and Water Utility Funds.
Based on the assessment policy direction provided last fall, staff has taken a look at the existing
PMP and updated the plan to incorporate all streets, improved and unimproved into our 10 year
Capital Improvement Plan.
In developing this plan, we took a look at the financial and process impacts of assessing a
portion of the project costs to property owners based on land use. We also took into
consideration the City Council’s general direction regarding assessments, “if there is a public
purpose for the infrastructure, the City should fund construction”
Special Study Session Meeting of July 18, 2016 (Item No. 2)
Title: Assessment Policy Page 10
Financial considerations: A 10 year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) was developed to meet
the street rehabilitation needs. Our funding sources for street rehabilitation projects are funded
using either MSA dollars, or Franchise Fees.
There are MSA dollars available to fund the MSA portion of the CIP without using
assessments.
On local roads, our average annual pavement rehabilitation cost is $2,400,000. We estimate
that an additional $670,000 is needed annually to proceed with incorporating all roads into our
PMP,for a total annual pavement rehabilitation cost of $3,070,000. With a policy of up to 50%
assessment to non-single family property owners, $335,000 (9.16%) would be specially
assessed.
Process impacts: Special assessments add a complexity to projects. The requirements to prove
benefit to property owner’s means that this funding mechanism is not guaranteed if the
proposed improvement does not demonstrably increase property values. Additional steps for
public hearings and collection of funds add administration time and process to each project.
Many of our street segments have a mix of land use. The state statute does allow the City to
develop a policy that differentiates between land uses. If we proceed with a policy to assess
all land uses except residential, this may raise questions from non-residential property owners.
Having a street system, in residential neighborhoods and in commercial areas, that is in good
condition benefits everyone in the City.
For these reasons, with less than 10% of the overall projects costs projected to be funded
through assessments, staff is recommending that we not use special assessments to fund out
local street rehabilitation projects in the City. Instead we propose that we adjust our Franchise
fees to adequately fund these projects.
Total cost: $3,070,000/ year
Assessment Policy: No Special Assessments
Funding source: Franchise Fees
2. Alleys:
There are 21.25 miles of alleys throughout the City. 16 miles of alleys have a concrete surface
and meet the minimum standard for an improved alley. 5.2 miles of these alleys are considered
unimproved according to City policy. Of the unimproved alleys, 2.36 miles are asphalt and
2.85 miles are gravel. Past policy was to assess the cost of alley improvements to the benefiting
properties. Based on Council direction last November, Staff has developed a plan that will
reconstruct these alleys over 10 years, between 2017 and 2026 utilizing no assessments. This
represents approximately one half mile a year.
Total cost: $2,853,000 ($285,000/ year)
Assessment Policy: No Special Assessments
Funding source: Franchise Fees
3. Sidewalks:
City Council supports active transportation, including Bikeway, Sidewalks and Trails. In the
interest of constructing a continuous network of sidewalks throughout the City as robust as our
street system, City Council has developed a Connect the Park! CIP. The projects currently
Special Study Session Meeting of July 18, 2016 (Item No. 2)
Title: Assessment Policy Page 11
identified in Connect the Park have been factored into a longer term financial plan. The
information below relates to those projects not yet identified.
Total cost: Determined as new projects are identified.
Assessment Policy: No Special Assessments for sidewalks constructed by the City
Funding source: General Obligation Bonds/Property Tax Levy
4. Street lighting:
As requests for streetlights are received, consideration for installation will be given based on
public purpose. The main public purpose would be safety; aesthetics would not be considered
a public purpose.
Total cost: Determined as projects are identified.
Assessment Policy: No Special Assessments
Funding source: General Obligation Bonds/Property Tax Levy
5. Administrative Items:
Administrative items include:
Storm Sewer, Sanitary Sewer Mains and Services
Watermain and Services
Fire Sprinkler Systems
Delinquent Charges
Many of these areas are initiated through a petition from the property owner to assist with financing
of private improvements or the extension of a public utility line to serve a new development.
Others are set up in our ordinances as ways to recoup costs for unpaid bills or nuisance
abatement. There were no proposed changes to these items, so there is not a financial impact.
6. Municipal Parking Lots:
The city owns and operates 10 municipal parking lots. These lots are located throughout the
City and are not adjacent to City buildings. Their primary use is for park and ride or private
property parking. Annual and seasonal maintenance are performed by Operations. Staff has
developed a plan that will reconstruct these parking lots over 6 years, between 2017 and 2023.
Total cost: $1,016,364
Assessment Policy: Assess 100% of reconstruction cost, including engineering and
Administration to benefitting property owners.
Funding source: Special Assessments
In order to move forward with each project, the following process will be followed:
The City Council will order a Feasibility Report for each lot. This would happen the
year before proposed reconstruction.
Complete a parking study to determine which properties have customers or employees
that are using the lot.
Special Study Session Meeting of July 18, 2016 (Item No. 2)
Title: Assessment Policy Page 12
Complete a land use review to determine parking ratios required by City Code.
Determine if the property has adequate private parking.
Using this information, determine the number of stalls to assign to each property use to
meet the City Code parking requirements.
Work with property owners surrounding the lots to discuss the projects and proposed
assessments.
Provide a recommendation to the City Council on the project. Recommendations may
include moving ahead with reconstruction or elimination of the parking lot.
If the lot is reconstructed, staff is exploring the process to assess property owners for annual
maintenance. More information on this will be provided to the Council with the final
Assessment Policy.
FUNDING: The two major changes in funding as a result of the recommended Assessment Policy
modifications are to use franchise fees to fund all local street and alley construction projects.
Attached is the 10 year Financial Management Plan for Pavement Management Funds. The
Council has historically considered franchise fee adjustments every other year and based on that
schedule 2017 and 2019 would be the years to consider adjusting the fees. In the long range
financial plan the current estimates reflect a $.75 increase per utility/per month for single family
home in 2017 and $.75 again in 2019 to fully fund the pavement management program. Beyond
2019, we have not programmed any changes but will review annually as part of the CIP process.
This plan reflects the 10 year CIP assuming no assessments.
Pavement Management Funds are also used to pay for city facility parking lot rehabilitation, street
sealcoating, bridge repair, and sidewalk repair/ replacement.
Information regarding proposed increase to the franchise fee to fund these improvements is
attached to this report. Finance will be at the City Council at the study session on Monday night
and will have information regarding how the proposed fees compare to franchise fees in other
metro area cities.

Title: Assessment Policy Page 13
INFORMATION ON SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS
What are special assessments?
Special assessments are a charge imposed on properties for a particular improvement that benefits
the owners of those selected properties. The authority to use special assessments originates in the
state constitution which allows the state legislature to give cities and other governmental units the
authority “to levy and collect assessments for local improvements upon property benefited
thereby.” The legislature confers that authority to cities in Minnesota Statutes Chapter 429. Court
decisions and attorney general opinions interpreting the statute add complexity to the issue.
To ensure full protection for property owners, state law and courts applying that law insist on strict
compliance with complex procedural requirements. Because these requirements have legal
implications, city councils should have the city attorney guide assessment proceedings. Special
assessments have three distinct characteristics:
They are a levy a city uses to finance, or partially finance, a particular public improvement
program.
The city levies the charge only against those particular parcels of property that receive
some special benefit from the program or service
The amount of the charge bears a direct relationship to the value of the benefits the property
receives.
What can special assessments pay for?
Special assessments have a number of important uses:
The most typical use is to pay for construction of new infrastructure, particularly when the
city is converting new tracts of land to urban or residential use. Special assessments
frequently pay for new streets; installing utility lines and constructing curbs, gutters, and
sidewalks.
Special assessments may partially underwrite the cost of major maintenance programs.
Cities often finance large scale repairs and maintenance operations on streets, sidewalks,
sewers, and similar facilities in part with special assessments.
The special benefit test
Special assessments reflect the influence of a specific local improvement on the value of selected
property. No matter what method the city uses to establish the amount of the assessment, the real
measure of benefit is the increase in the market value of the land because of the improvement.
Under the special benefit test, special assessments are presumptively valid if:
The land receives a special benefit from the improvement.
The assessment does not exceed the special benefit measured by the increase in market
value due to the improvement.
The assessment is uniform as applied to the same class of property, in the assessed area.
A special assessment that exceeds the special benefit is a taking of property without fair
compensation and violates both the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution and
the Minnesota Constitution. Property assessed must enjoy a corresponding benefit from the local
improvement. This is a different concept than property tax valuation. The Minnesota Constitution
states: “The Legislature may authorize municipal corporations to levy and collect assessments for
local improvements upon property benefited thereby without regard to cash valuation.”
As the courts have made clear, the special benefit is the increase in market value of the land as a
result of the improvement.

7a. Second Amendment to the Preliminary Development Agreement with PLACE
– Resolution No. 16-16
Mr. Hunt presented the staff report and request from PLACE, a nonprofit organization, to
amend its preliminary development agreement to include five parcels - three owned by the
city and two owned by the Hennepin County Regional Rail Authority - immediately south
of the proposed Wooddale LRT station. It was noted that under the second amendment,
PLACE is obligated to reimburse the EDA for all costs it incurs in connection with review
and analysis of the proposed development prior to the extended termination date.
President Mavity asked whether in amending this preliminary development agreement, the
city is being asked to approve the plans or vision of what will occur. Mr. Hunt explained
the amendment only includes adding these properties as part of the overall development
Economic Development Authority Meeting of July 18, 2016 (Item No. 3b) Page 2
Title: Economic Development Authority Meeting of June 20, 2016
program, and the development will come before the EDA and council for subsequent
approvals. In other words, the city is agreeing to discuss and negotiate on these properties,
and formal approvals will be subsequent.
President Mavity asked whether this type of approval has been considered in the past with
other projects. Mr. Hunt stated it is not unusual for development agreements to be amended
to add or subtract parcels from prospective developments. Mr. Locke explained that
development agreements are frequently amended, but the city does not have preliminary
development agreements with all projects.
Commissioner Sanger stated she will vote against the amendment as she does not like the
proposal for this project, which she will explain further during tonight’s council meeting.
It was moved by Commissioner Brausen, seconded by Commissioner Hallfin, to waive the
reading and adopt EDA Resolution No. 16-16, Approving the Second Amendment to the
Preliminary Development Agreement with PLACE.
The motion passed 5-2 (Commissioners Sanger and Miller opposed).

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Issuance of TIF Revenue Note to Cedar Lake Rd Apartments LLC – Eliot Park Apts
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to Adopt EDA Resolution authorizing the Issuance of a
Tax Increment Revenue Note, Series 2016 to Cedar Lake Road Apartments LLC.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does the EDA find that the conditions required for the issuance
of a TIF Revenue Note up to $1,100,000 to Cedar Lake Road Apartments LLC have been met?
SUMMARY: The EDA and City entered into a Contract for Private Redevelopment with Cedar
Lake Road Apartments LLC on July 1, 2014 related to the redevelopment of 6800 & 6720 Cedar
Lake Road (former Eliot School property) and construction of the Eliot Park Apartments (now
Siena Apartments). Under the Contract, the Redeveloper agreed to construct two apartment
buildings with 138 market rate units between them as well as two single family houses. In order
to make the project financially feasible, the EDA agreed in the Contract to reimburse the
Redeveloper up to $1,100,000 from tax increment generated by the project for qualified costs it
incurred related to environmental remediation, building demolition, site preparation and
underground structured parking (the “Public Redevelopment Costs”) associated with the
redevelopment of the former school property.
Under the Contract, the EDA agreed to issue a TIF Revenue Note to Cedar Lake Road Apartments
LLC in the maximum principal amount of $1,100,000 once certain conditions had been met. The
Contract states that the TIF Note would be issued when the Redeveloper had submitted to the
EDA, and the EDA certified, that the required Public Redevelopment Costs were actually
incurred by the Redeveloper. The apartment project was completed in November 2015. Staff has
reviewed the Public Redevelopment Costs recently submitted by Cedar Lake Road Apartments
LLC and has verified that the Redeveloper incurred more than sufficient certified Public
Redevelopment Costs within the project to warrant issuance of the TIF Note. The precise size of
the Note is pending the completion of a Lookback analysis required under the Contract which is
currently in process. Upon completion of the Lookback, the Note will be sized accordingly but
will not exceed $1,100,000. Given that the Redeveloper has met the required conditions under
the Contract for issuance of the Note, the EDA is being asked to formally approve the issuance
of the TIF Revenue Note up to $1,100,000.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: Issuance of the proposed TIF Revenue Note
will not require any cash payments from the EDA or City. All consulting costs associated with
issuance of the Note are paid from gross proceeds of the tax increment generated by the Eliot
Park TIF District.

DISCUSSION
BACKGROUND: The EDA and City entered into a Contract for Private Redevelopment with
Cedar Lake Road Apartments LLC on July 1, 2014 related to the redevelopment of 6800 & 6720
Cedar Lake Road (former Eliot School property) and the construction of the Eliot Park
Apartments. Under the Contract, the Redeveloper agreed to construct two apartment buildings
with 138 market rate units between them as well as two single family houses. The apartment
project received its Certificate of Occupancy in November 2015. Additionally, one of the single
family homes was recently completed and construction on the second is expected to commence
soon.
To make the project financially feasible, the EDA agreed under the Contract to reimburse the
Redeveloper for a portion of the qualified costs it incurred redeveloping the former school property
from tax increment generated by the project. Such qualified costs included: environmental
remediation, building demolition, site preparation and underground structured parking (the “Public
Redevelopment Costs”). Tax increment generated from the related Eliot Park TIF District would
be payable to Redeveloper according to the terms expressed in a single tax increment revenue
note (the “Note”). In order to reimburse the Redeveloper, the EDA agreed to issue a TIF Revenue
Note to the Redeveloper in the maximum principal amount of $1,100,000. The Contract states that
the TIF Note could be issued when the Redeveloper submitted to the EDA, and the EDA
certified, that the required Public Redevelopment Costs were actually incurred by the
Redeveloper. Staff and EDA legal counsel have reviewed the certified Public Redevelopment
Costs submitted by the Redeveloper and verified that the Redeveloper incurred nearly $2.5
million of such costs during construction of the Eliot Park project which was more than
sufficient to warrant issuance of the proposed Note. Under the Contract, the Redeveloper is not
obligated to have the remaining single family house completed in order to request issuance of the
TIF Note.
Pursuant to Section 7.4 of the Contract the financial assistance provided to the Redeveloper is
subject to a “Lookback” review upon the project reaching 93% lease up. The amount by which
the project’s Internal Rate of Return (IRR) exceeded eighteen percent (18%) would be
considered Excess Income. If the EDA determined that there was Excess Income, it would apply
fifty percent (50%) of that amount toward prepayment of the outstanding principal amount of the
TIF Note. The project reached 95% occupancy in early 2016. As a result, the Redeveloper was
required to submit cash flow information on the project. The Developer is currently finalizing the
required information. Upon submission, Ehlers will review it and determine if the size of the
Note requires adjustment. This work will not be completed prior to the July 18th EDA meeting so
the resolution approving issuance of the TIF Note acknowledges the Lookback review being
completed and the Note amount being adjusted accordingly, if warranted.
Given that the Redeveloper has met the required conditions under the Contract for issuance of
the TIF Note, the EDA is being asked to formally approve the issuance of the TIF Revenue Note
to Cedar Lake Road Apartments LLC up to the maximum principal amount of $1,100,000. The
precise size of the Note is pending the completion of the Lookback analysis. The Note will be
secured by available tax increment generated from the subject improved property located within
the Elliot Park Tax Increment Financing District. The Note will be “pay-as-you-go” which is the
desired financing method under the City's TIF Policy. The Note will bear interest at a rate of 5.5%,
and will have a term of approximately 5 years. The initial payment is scheduled for August 1st. The
final payment is projected to be made on February 1, 2021. A 5% administrative fee will be
charged to the District which is the EDA’s typical rate.
Economic Development Authority Meeting of July 18, 2016 (Item No. 7a) Page 3
Title: Issuance of TIF Revenue Note to Cedar Lake Rd Apartments LLC –Eliot Park Apts
To secure the Note, the Redeveloper signed a Minimum Assessment Agreement which
established the minimum market value of the apartments at $17,250,000 as of January 2, 2016
and the minimum market value of each single-family home at $250,000 as of January 2, 2017.
The apartment property’s current assessed value is $24,150,000.
The EDA acknowledges that the Redeveloper may assign the Note to third parties. The EDA
consents to such an assignment, conditioned upon receipt of an investment letter from such third
parties in a form reasonably acceptable to the EDA.
The Redeveloper acknowledged in the Redevelopment Contract that the EDA makes no
representations or warranties regarding the amount of Tax Increment, or that revenues pledged to
the Note will be sufficient to pay the principal and interest on the Note.
Given that the Redeveloper has met the required conditions under the Contract for issuance of
the TIF Revenue Note, Staff and the EDA’s attorney recommend adoption of the proposed
resolution authorizing the issuance of a Tax Increment Revenue Note, Series 2016 to Cedar Lake
Road Apartments LLC.

3. Available Tax Increment.
(a) Payments on this Note are payable on each Payment Date solely from and in the

(b) The Authority shall have no obligation to pay principal of and interest on this
Note on each Payment Date from any source other than Available Tax Increment and the failure
of the Authority to pay the entire amount of principal or interest payable on this Note on any
Payment Date shall not constitute a default hereunder as long as the Authority pays principal and

outstanding principal amount of the Note in inverse order of principal installments due. Ten days’
prior notice of any such prepayment shall be given by first-call mail by the Registrar to the
registered owner of the Note. No partial prepayment shall affect the amount or timing of any
other regular Payment otherwise required to be made under this Note.
(b) Upon receipt by the Redeveloper of the Authority’s written statement of the
Participation Amount as described in Section 7.4 of the Agreement, fifty percent (50%) of such

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Playground Junior Leader Recognition
RECOMMENDED ACTION: The Mayor is asked to recognize the Junior Leaders for their
service this summer. Recreation Superintendent, Jason West, along with Junior Leader
Coordinator Matt Terry and Summer Playground Director Katie Lee will in attendance to assist
with the presentation.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: None at this time.
SUMMARY: There were 34 youth volunteers that completed the program this summer and
collectively they have volunteered over 1,400 hours. Several of these volunteers have been
involved for many years.
The Junior Leaders Program has been part of the Parks and Recreation Department for close to 30
years. Junior Leaders for the St. Louis Park Parks and Recreation Department volunteer during
June and July in the Summer Playground Program. The goal of this program is to offer 7th through
9th grade youth an opportunity to maintain their relationship with the summer playground program,
while gaining valuable on-the-job experience assisting full-time leaders with other youth, ages 6
to 12.
Job responsibilities included assisting leaders with program activities, set-up and clean-up, and
initiating activities for playground participants. Junior Leaders demonstrated responsibility,
positive attitudes and a willingness to spend part of their summer volunteering their time at a
neighborhood park. During their time in the parks this summer, they became role models for the
program participants they worked with, as well as excellent helpers for the full-time leaders.
This summer there were 13 playground sites with a total of 900 kids registered. Along with
playground staff, Junior Leaders play a key role in providing a positive experience for each
participant. Junior Leaders were required to work a minimum of 40 hours during the Summer
Playground Program.
The Junior Leaders are rewarded with this special recognition, a letter of recommendation, and
passes to The Rec Center’s ice arena and Aquatic Park.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: Not applicable.
VISION CONSIDERATION: St. Louis Park is committed to being a connected and engaged
community.

1. Future Study Session Agenda Planning –Month June, 2016
Mr. Harmening presented the proposed Study Session agenda for June, 2016.
2. Bass Lake Update
Ms. Heiser presented an update on the Bass Lake Preserve Project. She stated that at the April 4,
2016, Study Session, an update was provided to council describing the study of the preserve and
the resulting improvement projects recommended to meet the goals of the project reviewed by
council in June, 2012. She explained the direction was to define a project which provided
functional restoration to the basin, with a desire to incorporate aesthetic and environmental
improvements. These improvements discussed at the April meeting were developed after
examining the existing infrastructure, upland vegetation and basin conditions. Improvements were
explored that would improve water quality, reduce point source pollution, and improve overall
aesthetics.
Staff’s presentation addressed questions the council had regarding improvements. Materials
attached in the report outline the physical characteristics of the basin, the identified improvements
and staff recommendations.
Councilmember Mavity stated she is glad the improvements are being incorporated into the plan
for Bass Lake. She asked about a grant that was received from the Metropolitan Council several
years ago to look at storm water and light rail areas and how this grant was linked to the project.
She added that the grant received was for work on an aerial plan, not a plot by plot plan, and she
has concerns this does not align with the improvements being presented. She added that she wants
to be sure staff is looking at this project long-term and that there is a planning vision, not a new
plan each time there is a new development.
Councilmember Sanger asked about future recreational purposes for Bass Lake, stating she did not
recall this had ever been clarified or discussed. She further stated this needs to be focused on at
some point. Secondly, she asked what can be done so that landowners living further upstream are
not polluting the wetlands and so that infrastructure will not need to be rebuilt over and over.

phosphorus is not used in fertilizers.
Councilmember Miller asked about the reduction of water volume. Mr. Hathaway from Barr
Engineering stated this is a technique to hold water back so it flows more slowly and helps with
pre-treatment and flooding issues that can occur downstream.
Councilmember Miller also asked about the removal of cattails and if the city really wants them
to be removed. Mr. Elkin stated this is a trade-off. By removing cattails, more desirable native
plants will appear.
Councilmember Miller asked about the impact of rain gardens and what the big picture plan is for
land use. He asked if staff is only focusing on functional restoration. Ms. Heiser noted the 2012
project was specifically for functional restoration and dredging the basin, adding there is no master
plan. She added that the dredging project was recommended at that time and sediment was
removed from the basin in the 1990’s.
Mr. Harmening added these are improvements to take care of the outlet that the Friends of Bass
Lake would support. He added he is not sure how this would affect future recreational use of Bass
Lake, but at this point, staff needs to know how the council would like them to proceed.
Councilmember Miller also asked about dredging and if it is beneficial to do this. Mr. Hathaway
noted there are limited benefits with dredging, with the exception of maintenance dredging, so it
is difficult to justify the expense. Councilmember Miller also referred to the upland vegetation
management project, noting it is expensive, and with an annual maintenance cost, it becomes a
questionable project.
Councilmember Hallfin asked about the Carpenter Park Project and what area would be addressed
there. Mr. Harmening stated the far southwest corner. Ms. Heiser added that they are also working
to move the water from the pipes under this chamber to Bass Lake. She noted this water moves
under the France and Excelsior intersection into a pond at Minikahda Golf Course and then to Lake
Calhoun. She added that another part of this is to control the water elevation. She noted that the
feasibility studies will review how much cleaner the storm water will be when it leaves the city.
Mr. Harmening stated that a funding source will be identified for this project, adding the city has
been adjusting rates in the storm utility fund as a means of planning for these projects
Councilmember Brausen noted he is in favor of these projects, with the exception of Carpenter
Park, especially given the concerns of the Friends of Bass Lake. He added he would like to know
what other storm water projects can be addressed.
Councilmember Mavity added the report was helpful and on all future development, the city needs
to be sure to have long-term goals and milestones so all projects are clearly defined for the long-
term vision and goals of the city. Further, she noted the council will need to know the metrics and
proximity to goals in order to be in alignment with the Community Development Department as
well.
City Council Meeting of July 18, 2016 (Item No. 3a) Page 3
Title: Special Study Session Minutes of June 6, 2016
Mr. Harmening summarized the following information related to this discussion. The council
would like a cost benefit analysis on Carpenter Park in order to clarify what is being accomplished
for the money spent on this project. Additionally, the Parkland Drive improvements are acceptable
to the council. An additional study will be needed on the northeast corner of BMP, and the outlet
improvements need to be more tangible. He concluded saying that this project will be revisited,
and past studies will be reviewed in order for the council to understand how it all fits together.
Councilmember Mavity acknowledged this process and the input received from residents as
exactly how this should have occurred.
The Study Session recessed at 7:24 p.m. and reconvened at 8:40 p.m.
3. PLACE Development Update
Ms. McMonigal introduced Mr. Velasco from PLACE, who presented a high level concept plan
to the City Council, in order to discuss details and the council’s expectations for the redevelopment
of the area in question.
Mr. Velasco noted the concept plan showing development on both sides of the rail/trail corridor.
He pointed out the e-generation and 198 residential units on the north side; a 110-room hotel; and
102 residential and live-work units on the south side of the corridor. Additional features include
commercial/retail on the south side, including a restaurant, preschool, and coffee shop.
Ms. McMonigal noted that staff has not yet analyzed the concept plan details, including specific
building locations, heights, residential densities, parking, setbacks, access and circulation. The site
plan will be reviewed and refined over the coming months, prior to a formal application.
The traffic review has been completed, showing the development can work with certain
stipulations. These include driveway access over the property to the east to Yosemite Avenue;
limiting the driveway access to 36th Street to a right-in/right-out only; creating a left-turn lane from
36th Street to Xenwood Avenue going north; and a left-in only to the north development frontage
road. Advantages to the new plan include utilizing both sides of the LRT station; better location
for building height; PLACES commercial components on 36th Avenue; a better LRT passenger
drop-off area; and better traffic outcomes.
Additionally, staff is working with Hennepin County on the Nash Frame property, which is owned
by the County Rail Authority. It is expected the property will be conveyed to the city and then sold
to PLACE. Also, the city has received a Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Grant from
Hennepin County for the PLACE development for acquisition, demolition and infrastructure.
Mr. Velasco noted in the development discussion there will be room for an urban forest and also
an e-generation program, which will help to utilize sun and wind sources and save the city money
with the organics and growing program.
Councilmember Sanger asked for clarification on the new roadway from PLACE to Xenwood
Avenue. The developer stated they are working on a concept related to this connection.
City Council Meeting of July 18, 2016 (Item No. 3a) Page 4
Title: Special Study Session Minutes of June 6, 2016
Councilmember Miller asked for an explanation of the drop-off point for the Xenwood station.
Ms. McMonigal stated the entrance will be from Yosemite Avenue, and PLACE will have to work
with the Southwest Project Office (SPO) in final plans.
Councilmember Mavity asked if the developer is creating a new roadway access into the
development. She added if this project goes forward, there will be issues. Discussions will be
needed regarding Yosemite and the possibility of conflicts about traffic in that area. Ms.
McMonigal agreed that this would need further discussion.
Councilmember Mavity pointed out that one of the positive opportunities with this project is the
possibility of integration of the LRT station and platform. This possibility does not exist on the
blue and green lines, and therefore, makes this a better plan. Councilmember Mavity further
pointed out key concerns related to access and entry to the residential area on the south side. She
noted that entering through this dense area is a concern and that pedestrians will need to be given
priority over cars.
Councilmember Sanger asked the height on each of buildings on the north/south and east/west
sides, adding she is concerned about shadowing on the north side. Mr. Velasco stated they are five
stories, five stories and twelve stories, adding that for most of the year, the shadowing doesn’t pose
a problem. Councilmember Sanger also asked if affordable units were still included in the
development. Mr. Velasco stated yes. They would be fully mixed into the project. Councilmember
Sanger asked where customers will park at the development. Mr. Velasco stated there will be some
short-term parking and also two levels with 261 spaces of visitor, hotel and apartment resident
parking.
Councilmember Sanger stated the new revised project works if improvements are made to
accommodate traffic. Mr. Sullivan agreed and said there will be improvements to the 36th Street
turn in. Councilmember Sanger stated she thought MNDOT wanted a median to prevent left turns
into the development. Mr. Sullivan stated this is a requirement of the Metropolitan Council, and
staff is also working on this. Councilmember Sanger asked if two lanes are going north, and two
are going south, how will there be enough room to accommodate a left turn lane. Mr. Sullivan
stated staff is working on how to make it more accessible, which may include bridge widening. He
added there is a solution; however, it is too early at this point to know what that will be.
Councilmember Sanger asked if this whole project assumes the bridge will be widened. Mr.
Sullivan stated yes; however, it is still being worked on in order to optimize the design, and plans
are proceeding cautiously. Councilmember Sanger added she has concerns about U turns being
made at 36th Street and on Highway 7, and asked how it will be prevented. Mr. Sullivan stated
staff will look at all mitigation measures, adding this is part of the analysis of this project, and as
the plan is refined, all of this can be talked through.
Councilmember Miller stated his chief concern is the 36th Street and Wooddale intersection and
the acceptable level of traffic there, adding he would like to understand better what the plan is if
PLACE is not built.
Councilmember Hallfin stated he is excited about this project but knows it is all preliminary at this
point.
Councilmember Mavity asked about a planned driveway and stated there will need to be a walkway
and a road at this location -- coming up to the station. The developer agreed.
City Council Meeting of July 18, 2016 (Item No. 3a) Page 5
Title: Special Study Session Minutes of June 6, 2016
Councilmember Brausen stated he is agreeable to the project and appreciates all the hard work.
Councilmember Mavity asked about rent targets. The developer stated the rent will be close to an
average St. Louis Park home - not low income, but affordable.
Councilmember Lindberg added the council will need to have a conversation about the context of
affordable housing.
Mayor Spano noted that this project area shares space with a freight line, and asked what this will
look like, and will it be safe and controlled. He stated the council will need to see visuals on this
and have further discussion.
Communications/Meeting Check-In (Verbal)
There were none.
The meeting adjourned at 9:40 p.m.

6. Public Hearings
6a. Public Hearing – 2015 Annual MS4 Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
(SWPPP) Meeting
City Council Meeting of July 18, 2016 (Item No. 3b) Page 4
Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of June 6, 2016
Mr. Francis presented the staff report regarding the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.
The purpose of the report is to provide the council with a summary of stormwater activities
conducted in 2015, to promote initiatives in 2016, and to solicit comments from the public
on the operation and management of the stormwater throughout the city as a part of the
Municipal Separate Stormwater System (MS4) permit. The city has a permit with the
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) for the discharge of stormwater from the
city. As part of the permit, the city is required to hold a public meeting in which residents
have an opportunity to review the stormwater pollution prevention plan and comment on
the city’s Stormwater Management Program. These comment are considered for
incorporation in the city’s program and to increase awareness.
Mayor Spano opened the public hearing.
Mr. Scott Carpenter, President of Friends of Bass Lake and a 35-year resident of
Minnekahda Neighborhood, spoke to the Council. He stated the city must include a capital
project to reduce water volumes. He noted he has been a Boy Scout leader for six years
and has worked with scouts at Bass Lake on projects that have helped many of the scouts
become interested in a career in forestry and biology. He added these are boys who are not
involved in sports and who may be on medications for attention deficit issues. This lake
has provided them with an outlet and an area in which to learn. Mr. Carpenter noted that
while there are not large numbers of residents speaking out on Bass Lake, it is a concern
to many in the area. He read a letter written 30 years ago to the St. Louis Park City Council
that told of residents’ deep concerns about the Bass Lake area and encouraged the City
Council to address the issues of concern at that time. He stated this letter could have also
been written today to address some of the same concerns about preserving Bass Lake and
the area around it.
Mayor Spano closed the public hearing.
Councilmember Hallfin asked where sediment goes when it is washed away. Mr. Francis
stated that this sediment typically is landfilled.
Councilmember Mavity acknowledged Mr. Carpenter’s presentation and appreciated his
perspective. She agreed there are many underrepresented voices; however, she added this
does not mean it is not an important issue. She added she appreciates what Mr. Carpenter
and the Friends of Bass Lake are doing to make sure that Bass Lake remains on the City
Council’s radar, and to guide the Council, even though complexities continue to be a challenge.
Councilmember Mavity stated she appreciates all the work being done by staff on this
issue, and asked if the city is fully in compliance with the city’s regulatory partners at this
time. She also asked about metrics that staff has for measuring the amounts of sediment
removed. Mr. Francis stated the city is making great strides to maintain compliance. He
noted the city would fare very well if audited by the MPCA.
Mr. Harmening added the city is in compliance with what the regulators require. The city
does have certain goals to meet and show progress on. He added the city must reduce its
levels of phosphorus and also show the MPCA that this is being worked on. He reiterated
he does not want anyone to think the city is not in compliance, because the city is in
compliance. Mr. Francis agreed.
City Council Meeting of July 18, 2016 (Item No. 3b) Page 5
Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of June 6, 2016
Councilmember Mavity thanked Mr. Harmening for the clarification and stated it would
be helpful in the future to have year over year comparisons.
Councilmember Sanger thanked staff for the information and asked what steps the city
takes to educate the average home owner on storm sewer dumping. Mr. Francis stated there
is a lot of community outreach and education on this issue, such as the clean water
partnership program. The city needs to work on reaching more people and having a more
focused message on discharge, such as pollutants and pet waste.
Councilmember Sanger stated it is incumbent on the city to help educate homeowners on
this and asked what the penalty is if a homeowner dumps pollutants into the stormwater
sewer. Mr. Francis stated there are several levels of enforcement, and fines may be levied.
A major polluter would likely be handed over to the MPCA, and enforcements or legal
action would ensue.
Mayor Spano added the city has issued letters of warning and asked why the city does not
issue citations. Mr. Francis stated that most likely because the builders were able to clean
up and come back into compliance before a time limit expired. Typically, once notified,
builders respond quickly.
Mayor Spano stated if a resident did not clean up within the timeframe, he would suggest
a fine or citation. He also asked about the larger polluters that would be handled by the
MPCA and if these would be businesses or if it is volume based. Mr. Francis stated it may
be both, but the city typically handles smaller situations, and larger situations would be
referred to the regulatory agencies.
Councilmember Brausen noted the state outlawed phosphorus fertilizer for residential use
but not for commercial uses, such as golf courses. He asked about this and if it is correct.
Mr. Francis stated that phosphorus is allowed for one-time use for the establishment of
vegetation but not for subsequent uses.
6b. Zarthan Avenue South Right of way Vacation
Mr. Morrison presented the report. He explained that staff requests the vacation of Zarthan
Avenue right-of-way (located just north and east of 36th Street and Wooddale Avenue, near
the future Wooddale LRT station) for the purpose of preparing the land for future
redevelopment. This property is currently owned by the city and used for public parking.
The right-of-way is not needed for public purposes; therefore, it can be vacated and
combined with the adjacent properties. The city owns the adjacent properties to the west
and east of the subject right-of-way, so it will receive the majority of the land. A small
piece of the right-of-way at the north end will go to the Hennepin County Regional Rail
Authority because it owns property located at the north end of the right-of-way.
Mayor Spano opened the public hearing. There were no speakers. Mayor Spano closed the
public hearing.
Councilmember Hallfin asked staff to clarify if this action is to allow for planned
redevelopment in this area. Mr. Morrison stated the vacation is being proposed in
anticipation of future development.
City Council Meeting of July 18, 2016 (Item No. 3b) Page 6
Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of June 6, 2016
Councilmember Mavity asked if there is a specific development planned for this site,
noting that a proposal in this area will be discussed at the study session following the
meeting. Mr. Morrison confirmed that it is not in preparation for a specific development.
It was moved by Councilmember Mavity, seconded by Councilmember Miller, to approve
First Reading of the Ordinance vacating the right-of-way and set the Second Reading of
the Ordinance for June 20, 2016.
The motion passed 7-0.
7. Requests, Petitions, and Communications from the Public – None
8. Resolutions, Ordinances, Motions and Discussion Items
8a. Conditional Use Permit – Super America Express, 6405 Minnetonka Blvd.
Resolution No. 16-074
Mr. Morrison presented the staff report. He noted the applicant wants to reopen the vacant
motor fuel station located at the intersection of Minnetonka Blvd. and Dakota Avenue and
operate it as a Super America Express gas station. A motor fuel station is allowed in the
C1 Neighborhood Commercial zoning district by Conditional Use Permit (CUP). A CUP,
however, was not previously approved on this site; therefore, a CUP must be approved
before the fuel station can reopen. The applicant intends to reopen the fuel station as it
exists today, with some minor site changes to improve traffic flow through the site, and to
bring the property closer to compliance with landscaping and lighting. There was a
neighborhood meeting on April 14, 2016, and ten residents attended and were supportive
of the proposal to reopen the station. Screening of the station from the residential properties
to the west and south was an important concern. The hours of operation for the station will
be 7 a.m. - 11 p.m. Mr. Morrison added that the Planning Commission recommends
approval of the CUP.
Councilmember Hallfin asked if the applicant wants to change the station’s hours in the
future, would he have to come back to the city to do so. Mr. Morrison stated the applicant
would need to come back because the hours of operation are regulated by Conditional Use
Permit in the C-1 District.
Councilmember Sanger asked if given that the station will be closed overnight, will the
city require the applicant to turn off all exterior lighting during the overnight hours. Mr.
Morrison stated this is not written into the CUP, adding that the applicant would want to
have some overnight lighting for security purposes.
Councilmember Sanger stated she is concerned about lights shining into resident’s homes
at night. Mr. Morrison said staff will work with the applicant so the overnight lighting will
be dim and not intrusive.
Councilmember Lindberg asked if all issues have been reasonably addressed in this CUP
and everyone is in agreement on all. Mr. Morrison said yes, except for the southwest corner
where staff is recommending additional landscaping.
City Council Meeting of July 18, 2016 (Item No. 3b) Page 7
Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of June 6, 2016
Councilmember Lindberg asked if all has been taken care of in terms of property
maintenance. Mr. Morrison stated yes. All sidewalks will be repaired and all pumps
replaced with new ones. The building will be branded with new Super America signage.
Councilmember Brausen asked if any trees will impact the line of sight at the intersection.
Mr. Morrison stated the plan has been reviewed by the city forester, and what is proposed
meets all requirements.
Councilmember Lindberg asked about the county requirements of the grass grid, what they
are trying to accomplish here, and what the city’s role is related to this. Mr. Morrison stated
the grass grid provides a visual barrier designed to discourage use of the access by
motorists, but to allow access for the fuel delivery truck. The city is facilitating the
discussion between the applicant and county.
Mayor Spano asked with all the new trees, new landscaping, new signage, and the use of
an old building, which has not been used in a while, what is the applicant’s plan to upgrade.
Mr. Morrison stated that the applicant has been addressing graffiti and maintenance issues
over the years while the building was vacant. Recently, the applicant painted and cleaned
the building in preparation for reopening. He will add new signage.
It was moved by Councilmember Lindberg, seconded by Councilmember Sanger, to waive
the reading and adopt Resolution No. 16-074, Conditional Use Permit to allow a motor
fuel station with conditions as recommended by staff.
8b. Authorize execution of a professional services contract with Kimley Horn in
the amount of $195,200 for the Municipal State Aid (MSA) Rehabilitation
Project - Texas Ave (Highway 7 to Minnetonka Blvd) Project No. 4017-1101.
Councilmember Lindberg noted this is a reconstruction project at Oakhill and Aquila. He
thanked staff for their hard work on this and on engaging the public in this infrastructure
project. Councilmember Lindberg explained if council moves forward with this item, a
letter will immediately go out to residents regarding the survey work that will be
conducted. He added a summer open house will be held to gather public input, including
information on traffic redesign and the potential of more bike facilities on Texas Ave.
Councilmember Lindberg added there will be a decision by council in early 2017, which
would require a discussion about parking and other impacts for residents. He stated he
wants the public to be aware of this. He noted there will be a lot of opportunities for
public input on this project, and he invited citizens to participate.
It was moved by Councilmember Lindberg, seconded by Councilmember Brausen, to
authorize execution of a professional services contract with Kimley Horn in the amount
of $195,200 for the Municipal State Aid Rehabilitation Project – Texas Ave (Highway 7
to Minnetonka Blvd).
The motion passed 7-0.
City Council Meeting of July 18, 2016 (Item No. 3b) Page 8
Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of June 6, 2016
9. Communications
Mr. Harmening noted there will be a clean-up event from 8 a.m.–1 p.m. on Saturday, at the
Municipal Service Center on Oxford Street. He added that there will be an open house
next Tuesday at the Fire Department-Station 1, from 5:30–8:30 p.m., near Wooddale and
Oxford St.
Councilmember Brausen commented on an item from the consent agenda, noting that city
staff recommended the city reject bids on a concrete project. He thanked staff for helping
to maintain fiscal integrity.
Mayor Spano recognized the St. Louis Park historical society, and pointed out the great
information that is available on their website.
10. Adjournment

process/community engagement, and comprehensive plan update.
2. Highway 7 Rehabilitation Project in Knollwood Area
Ms. Heiser introduced MnDOT representatives to provide council with an introduction to their
proposal to rehabilitate Hwy. 7 and close the access from west bound Hwy. 7 into Knollwood
Mall.
Mr. Griffith, MnDOT, noted the project would be to resurface Hwy. 7. As a part of that, MnDOT
would like to move forward with closing accesses but will need permission from the city to do so.
Mr. Casey, MnDOT, presented maps and information related to the overlay of Hwy. 7 from Hwy.
494 to Louisiana Avenue and also 2011-2015 crash data. He noted this project would help make
the road smooth and improve safety for drivers and pedestrians, as well as address drainage issues.
Councilmember Lindberg expressed concern about the plan and creating a worse traffic situation
on Aquila at Hwy. 7.
Mayor Pro Tem Mavity noted the potential of a traffic stacking issue at the location. Mr. Griffith
explained MnDOT is only hoping to improve the traffic on Hwy. 7, but agreed that it may be at
the expense of Aquila, noting it is a tradeoff.
Mayor Pro Tem Mavity asked about the status of getting pedestrians safely across Hwy. 7 and how
it relates to the proposal. Ms. Heiser explained that Hennepin County has also proposed an
improvement along Blake Road, along with a City project to repave Aquila Avenue. As a part of
the MnDOT project, a pedestrian island would be added. Additionally, pedestrian ramps along
City Council Meeting of July 18, 2016 (Item No. 3c) Page 2
Title: Study Session Minutes of June 13, 2016
Blake Road would be replaced in order to be ADA compliant, along with countdown timers and
an audible pedestrian system at this intersection.
Councilmember Lindberg noted his concern again for Ward 3 and with the closure of the ramp
into the Knollwood area, the potential of creating a traffic issue that currently does not exist. He
has concerns about traffic moving to Texas Avenue, adding that he would like to understand the
numbers. He does not want his constituents to be surprised, and added that he wants them to have
time for feedback before the council makes a final decision.
Councilmember Brausen added the council will need feedback from the owners of Knollwood
Mall, also, as the impact will be large.
Councilmember Miller added that traffic stacking may become a concern here with so much traffic
in the intersection.
Mayor Pro Tem Mavity asked what the timeline is on this project. Ms. Heiser stated staff will
continue to meet with MnDOT on the project details and wanted to bring this issue to the council
first before bringing it to the public. At this point, staff will want to coordinate the Blake Road and
the Aquila Avenue projects with the MnDOT project. She added staff wants to be certain all
agencies are involved with the public process.
Mr. Griffith noted with the improvements to the signal on Texas Avenue and Aquila Avenue,
MnDOT believes there will be reasonable access into the Knollwood Mall.
Councilmember Lindberg stated he would still like to know how much traffic currently uses this
Knollwood ramp, and how it will impact people getting to their homes and the mall. He noted he
needs to understand the broader impact and the numbers before making a decision
Mr. Griffith explained that the council is looking at the situation as it exists today, but MnDOT is
looking at how it can be improved. He added MnDOT does not see the access into Knollwood
Mall as needed, adding it creates extra conflicts when vehicles slow down and has potential for
crashes to occur. He noted that closing this access would be proactive and added that the access
point into the mall off Hwy. 7 would not be approved today.
Councilmember Brausen noted there have been less than one dozen accidents in a one-year period
there, adding if access to the mall is closed at that location, council would need to talk to the mall
owners. He added he is concerned about fixing something that isn’t a giant problem. Most of the
council members noted they use this access point into Knollwood Mall quite often.
Councilmember Sanger agreed with Councilmember Brausen, stating if the access into Knollwood
is closed at this location, how much more of a traffic problem will be created on Texas Avenue.
Mayor Pro Tem Mavity stated the council needs to prioritize pedestrians in this project.
Mr. Harmening stated MnDOT will continue to work with staff to answer the questions of the council
related to this project.

3. Assessment Policy Discussion – Financial
Ms. Heiser and Mr. Simon presented this report. They noted the report is a continuation of a
process whereby the council will update the city’s assessment policies. Staff will bring back an
overall comprehensive assessment policy for council to consider later this summer. The report
presented to council was a summary and a financial management plan for 10 years. Since the last
update in 2000, council direction, improvement costs, and infrastructure needs have changed in a
number of areas covered by the policy. The recommended assessment policy for the various
improvements will have funding implications, noted in the report. There will be a cap on franchise
fees, which can only be 5% of the revenue collected by the city. Mr. Simon noted that forecasted
over the next 10 years, this assessment policy fits well with the CIP, accounting for inflation. He
added this will be reviewed each year.
Councilmember Hallfin asked if the updated CIP takes into account the alley by Birchwood Park
and if it will be repaved. Ms. Heiser stated yes.
Councilmember Sanger asked about assessments for commercial industrial roads. If these roads
get more traffic and heavier traffic, is it appropriate to eliminate the special assessment there? Ms.
Heiser stated those roads are designed for heavier trucks, are built to 10-ton standards, and have
greater thickness than other roads, so they are designed to accommodate the heavier trucks and
traffic. The improvement schedule is the same as residential streets - every 20 years.
Councilmember Sanger added if the city eliminates assessments, she is concerned there will be
spill over costs for residents. She added some residents have commented to her they prefer their
taxes be raised vs. ‘nickel and diming’ them with franchise fees. Mr. Simon stated staff could look
further into this issue.
Mr. Harmening pointed out the city now collects $2.3 million in franchise fees on a yearly basis,
noting if this were collected in taxes, the costs would increase to residents.
Mr. Simon added the franchise fees are proportionately higher for commercial properties vs.
residential.
Councilmember Brausen stated the real impact would be about $17 per year. He added the only
thing missing is street lighting. Councilmember Brausen asked where the city stands on this issue
and how far along the city is in addressing the use of LED. Ms. Heiser noted the city maintains
1300 lights, and Xcel maintains 1800 lights. She added the city is working to have all city owned
lights changed out to LED, and this is programmed into the budget, as well.
Councilmember Lindberg added he would prefer not to go through a special assessment and asked
if the city’s fund balances are healthy enough. Mr. Simon answered yes. The funds are comfortable
at this point, but this will be reviewed each year.
Councilmember Miller pointed out, even though there will be no charge for alley improvements,
there will still be residents who will be upset, as the city will need to be in backyards making these
improvements. Ms. Heiser stated the city will send out a proactive mailing to residents related to
the alley improvements, along with a timeline.
City Council Meeting of July 18, 2016 (Item No. 3c) Page 4
Title: Study Session Minutes of June 13, 2016
Councilmember Brausen asked if there will be a robust public process around this project or a
public hearing. Councilmember Miller added this would be worth discussing further. Ms. Heiser
stated the city will reach out to the community. Mr. Harmening added the council can hold a
public hearing on this, along with social media and informational mailings to the public.
Councilmember Hallfin added the council is elected in order to conduct business such as this, so
he does not think it would be necessary to conduct a public hearing, even though he would agree
to it if the majority of the council requests it.
Councilmember Sanger stated she does not think anyone will disagree with these improvements,
but added there should be an article regarding the policy change in the city newsletter.
The council members agreed that public communication will need to be robust on this policy
change.
Mr. Harmening stated staff will bring council a draft policy for approval later this summer.
4. Reuse of Former Holiday Station Property (Hwy 100/Minnetonka Blvd.)
Ms. McMonigal presented the report. The former Holiday Station at 5430 Minnetonka Blvd. was
acquired for the Hwy. 100 project by MnDOT. It currently is being used by MnDOT for highway
construction staging. The site has been used as a gas station since 1958, and in 1994 the gasoline
pumps and canopy were reconstructed. In 2006, Holiday constructed a new convenience store
building and dramatically improved the site with new pavement, parking and landscaping. Holiday
used some MnDOT property for parking and was aware of the pending highway reconstruction.
The property is zoned Commercial C-2.
Councilmember Sanger stated she does not think the property should be zoned commercial any
longer as there is no access from Minnetonka Boulevard. She continued by saying that it is across
from residential, and now is an opportunity to have single family houses built there. She added
this corner has been a gas station for decades and asked if there has been an assessment about how
polluted it is and if housing could be built there.
Mayor Pro Tem Mavity stated with a residential development, there is money available for
property clean-up if the land is used for multi-family housing, but not if it’s used for single- family
housing.
Councilmember Sanger asked if the median at the location now could be made shorter to allow for
driveways on the site to access Vernon Avenue. Ms. McMonigal stated staff would look into that
option.
Mr. Locke explained that MnDOT is not responsible for clean-up of the site because the last party
who owned the property typically is responsible for clean-up.
Councilmember Miller asked if the entrance into the property is currently closed. Ms. McMonigal
stated it is closed. This is a county road, and MnDOT has an access restriction easement over it.
Councilmember Miller quoted a resident as saying to him, “It’s a gas station, so why doesn’t it just
remain a gas station?” Mr. Locke stated it is staff’s expectation there is interest in returning the
City Council Meeting of July 18, 2016 (Item No. 3c) Page 5
Title: Study Session Minutes of June 13, 2016
property to a gas station; however, there is no access from Minnetonka Boulevard currently.
Councilmember Miller added, without that entrance, it may not be appropriate for a gas station
any longer.
Councilmember Brausen stated he is not interested in this being a gas station as there are others in
the area; however, he would like to repurpose it and see a teen center go into the site. He added
that transportation and location are good in this area, and it is close to the high school, also.
Councilmember Hallfin added, if rezoning is an option, he would be fine with single-family homes
or townhomes in the location, while the existing roads could be used for in and out access.
Mayor Pro Tem Mavity stated building it is easy; however, sustaining it over time is more difficult.
Councilmember Hallfin added the lot is prime for different ideas, and council should not close the
door on any idea yet.
Mayor Pro Tem Mavity stated it is not attractive for single-family homes. She noted cluster
housing; low-density multi-family; tiny homes; or townhomes could work well there.
Councilmember Sanger liked the teen center suggestion and noted there is a group of teens working
with advisors already planning this center, to be affiliated with the high school. She added this idea
should come from the students and not from the council. Additionally, she agreed there is already
another gas station and convenience store across the street; however, residents say it is in great
need of clean up.
Councilmember Miller stated he envisioned the teen center in the Walker Lake area and added
students are hopeful to get this going sooner than 18 months from now. He added it is difficult to
envision single-family homes in this location; however, there are smaller homes in Birchwood,
and potentially three smaller homes might be built on the lot to face Utica Avenue.
Councilmember Lindberg stated single family homes are still very important; however, council
needs to leave some options open at this point. He added he is not convinced this is the right spot
for housing but is open to thinking about different ways to develop this site. He cautioned the
council to think about the exact type of housing they envision for this site.
Councilmember Miller asked if this is a potential Habitat for Humanity house site.
Mayor Pro Tem Mavity stated yes, it could be. Additionally, the goal is for home ownership;
however, this is a difficult market on this corner for single-family homes.
Councilmember Hallfin noted the recently built homes on Minnetonka Boulevard sold for
$400,000. He added the market could decide on what should be built at the site.
Councilmember Brausen pointed out that Minnetonka Boulevard is a different story at Hwy. 100.
Councilmember Sanger stated this site has better access to transit and she is in favor of rezoning
this site at the council’s first opportunity in order to allow for more leverage with developers who
may want to build multi-family housing there.
City Council Meeting of July 18, 2016 (Item No. 3c) Page 6
Title: Study Session Minutes of June 13, 2016
Councilmember Miller stated he would like to think more about the opportunity at this site and
possible creative ideas for development.
Mayor Pro Tem Mavity added this could be an interesting study site for the council to pursue.
Councilmember Sanger noted that Webster Park is also partially owned by MnDOT, so the city
should discuss this issue with them now. Ms. McMonigal explained MnDOT does not want to
begin discussions until after Hwy. 100 is completed and the landscaping project is done.
Mr. Harmening noted staff will bring this back to council when the time is right. He added he liked
Mayor Pro Tem Mavity’s idea to have the Urban Land Institute look at the site for potential uses
and to provide feedback to council. He noted there is a cost involved in using their services.
Councilmember Sanger noted also that Urban Land Institute will study this from the development
point of view, and she has concerns about this. Ms. McMonigal stated staff would inquire about
this.
Communications/Meeting Check-In (Verbal)
Councilmember Brausen noted the solid waste program and organics recycling currently have a
14% participate rate. He stated the city is hoping to increase the overall rate of collection for trash
service and added if this method is preferable, why not incorporate it into the city’s fee structure
and have all residents participate with no opting out. Mayor Pro Tem Mavity and Councilmembers
Sanger and Miller concurred.
Mr. Harmening stated this will be discussed later this fall, when rate structures for utility funds are
discussed.
It was noted the Zero Waste event was held, but attendance was less than hoped for. There were
approximately 50 vendors and about 40 citizens. Councilmember Brausen commended staff for
promoting this event; however, he is not sure it was worth it since the participation rate was low.
Councilmember Brausen added the Bring Your Own Bag Ordinance has also had too much time
and attention paid to it. He added the city should not have to instruct retail on how to do this,
adding the city has heard public comment on the subject. He does not think this will have a cost
impact.
Councilmember Lindberg agreed and cautioned on how to move forward on this issue. Mr.
Harmening stated staff is trying to continue the robust public input but still has some loose ends to
clean up in the policy.
Councilmember Miller noted citizens did a great job on clean-up day, and a great crowd was
present.
Mr. Harmening reported the city has upheld their Standard and Poor’s AAA bond rating.
Council members discussed the July 5 meeting and decided to cancel it unless any official business
arises.
City Council Meeting of July 18, 2016 (Item No. 3c) Page 7
Title: Study Session Minutes of June 13, 2016
Mr. Harmening reported the tour with Marian Green was very well done, and a newsletter was
handed out at the end. There will be another meeting on July 23 with Ms. Green related to the 5-
year capital plan, and he asked council to encourage moving this along.
Mayor Pro Tem Mavity stated it is not too early to get requests in for budgets, as work has begun
already on 2017 budgets.
Councilmember Lindberg added that the meeting with Ms. Green was well done and since then
she has scheduled another meeting with Environment and Sustainability Commissioners Ryan
Griffin and Rachel Harris to discuss a living streets policy in St. Louis Park.
The meeting adjourned at 8:30 p.m.

CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL STUDY SESSION
ST. LOUIS PARK, MINNESOTA
JUNE 20, 2016
The meeting convened at 6:15 p.m.
Councilmembers present: Mayor Jake Spano, Tim Brausen, Steve Hallfin, Gregg Lindberg, Anne
Mavity, Thom Miller, and Susan Sanger.
Staff present: City Manager (Mr. Harmening), Controller (Mr. Simon), Deputy City
Manager/Human Resources Director (Ms. Deno), Communications Specialist (Ms. Pribbenow),
and Recording Secretary (Ms. Wirth).
Guest: David J. Mol, Redpath and Company.
Future Agenda Item
Councilmember Mavity referenced a letter received that asked the city to conduct a climate change
study and asked if that person had received a formal response. Mayor Spano stated he did respond
saying the city is in the process of finding a consultant to craft that plan.
1. 2017 Budget
Mr. Harmening reported staff has started 5-10-year capital budget planning, and work on the 2017
operating budget will start shortly. He explained this item is being presented tonight in case there
is particular council guidance to department directors in the area of the property tax levy, targets,
or program service changes/additions that staff should research for a future report.
Mr. Simon presented the 2017 budget report and asked whether the council is comfortable with
the budget guidelines. He stated the capital plan budget will be presented later this fall. With regard
to communication, a budget website is available to receive input from residents and the council,
and it is periodically updated. Mr. Simon reviewed the anticipated timeline and asked for the
council’s input.
Councilmember Lindberg commented on the funds expended by the city for the Southwest LRT
and asked how much more will be spent. Councilmember Brausen suggested that the city’s work
on the project stop when the Met Council says it will not be moving forward. Mayor Spano agreed
that when the Met Council steps away from the project, the city also has to make a decision.
Councilmember Mavity asked about other options, noting this is the year for the federal
application. She asked if a funding application can be made next year if it doesn’t fly this year.
Mr. Harmening explained that deadlines are coming up by the beginning of next year when the
state has to show that all the funding sources have been put into place in order to keep moving
ahead. Councilmember Miller also asked if there is a chance to come back in 2017 and make
application again. Councilmember Hallfin stated in that case, the city would be at the end of the
line. Mayor Spano stated he does not know the mechanics, but it doesn’t feel like the city will
make application again next year unless the fall elections show something different.
City Council Meeting of July 18, 2016 (Item No. 3d) Page 2
Title: Special Study Session Minutes of June 20, 2016
Councilmember Brausen agreed the Federal Government will wait to see what happens with the
elections to determine if funding will be revived.
Councilmember Mavity stated with regard to the debt management plan, she would find it helpful
to put future projects in as placeholders. She stated she appreciates the well written staff report and
asked if there have been changes in benefits have been helpful. Ms. Deno stated the city is not
receiving negative feedback on its benefits or compensation package. Recruitment is going well,
and paid parenting leave is appreciated and being used.
Councilmember Mavity asked whether funds are budgeted to implement any of the race and equity
initiatives. Ms. Deno explained a proposal has been received to train staff on a multilevel system
and anticipated using 2016 funding. For 2017 this work should be incorporated in what we do
similar to Vision.
Councilmember Mavity asked about organics and if changes are going to be made to incent more
residents to use this program. Ms. Deno stated staff is looking at incentive-based programs and
that information will be presented during the budget discussions later this fall.
Councilmember Mavity stated she has heard from residents that they want high quality services so
she is comfortable if a levy would be a higher levy amount than average. She stated the council
has discussed a potential community center and asked if there is a method to put money aside early
on as residents have been asking for it.
Councilmember Brausen referenced support for a community center and stated the council has to
be clear that a facilities expansion will also mean maintenance as an on-going and growing
expense. He asked whether facility maintenance should be included as a program so it is listed as
a priority during budget planning.
Councilmember Brausen stated his understanding that property valuations are shifting with larger
increases in multi-family and commercial, and lower increases in single-family properties.
However, higher multi-family taxes are shifted to the renter, which can be a concern. He asked
whether that can be addressed through tax relief at the state level. Mr. Simon agreed that decision
is with the legislature.
Councilmember Brausen supported shifting the cost of organics recycling to all and not only those
who are involved. He felt the separate cost for organics creates a disincentive.
Councilmember Sanger stated she agrees with the importance of sharing organics cost among all
residents and the need to plan for a community center. She suggested a study session discussion
on creating placeholders for future projects, including the community center.
Councilmember Sanger stated concern that some residents have to shovel their sidewalks, or they
are penalized. Some sidewalks are shoveled by the city, and many residents have no sidewalk. She
stated the council has raised the issue of equity and asked what can be done to build in the cost to
provide sidewalk shoveling for all. She noted the city has indicated sidewalks are a community
benefit, so she believes the city should plow them. Councilmember Sanger stated she found the
past staff report not to be complete as it did not include the option to hire part-time staff to shovel
sidewalks; the cost if staff does the work on overtime pay; or the existing cost incurred for the
sidewalks the city does plow. She stated if the council wants to be equitable to all residents, she
would suggest the city plows all walks or no sidewalks, so all are treated the same.
City Council Meeting of July 18, 2016 (Item No. 3d) Page 3
Title: Special Study Session Minutes of June 20, 2016
Councilmember Sanger stated she is more concerned about the quality of services provided than
the exact percentage of the increase because she has heard the same feedback mentioned by
Councilmember Mavity that residents want good services.
Councilmember Miller noted the high school uses equity coaches and asked if the council should
consider an equity coach for certain study sessions. He supported looking more closely at
development in Walker and Lake Street area and what it might look like from a city investment
perspective. Councilmember Miller noted the teen center could take a lot of different forms in how
it is handled and financed, so that should be discussed.
Mayor Spano stated he agrees with quality service over a one-half percent increase to the levy. He
noted the tax bill has not been signed and asked about the impact with LGA. Mr. Simon stated
since the budget bill was not signed, staff used a conservative figure without an increase in LGA.
Mayor Spano agreed that the race and equity work should be factored into the budget. He supported
a discussion on mitigating the long-term water treatment cost of the Riley site and asked if
additional funding is needed for this. Mayor Spano stated that as the new Outdoor Recreation
Center is nearing completion, he’d like staff to address short-term upkeep of the Rec Center;
needed maintenance and upkeep, and what work may be needed on the pool.
Councilmember Lindberg asked staff to provide information on how St. Louis Park compares and
ranks with peer cities in terms of taxes. He supported funding for the Rec Center for additional
maintenance needs and studying the option of how we handle cost sharing for boulevard trees and
would like discussion if the program should shift to be city’s full responsibility.
Councilmember Mavity stated she agreed with the teen center planning and would like to discuss
that topic at the same time there is a discussion about a Community Center. She stated support for
funding for additional sidewalk requests and addressing Connect the Park! locations of sidewalk
and trail disconnects, and how those connections can be completed.
Councilmember Hallfin asked what the city can do to increase funding to assist residents
experiencing rent shortfalls and to continue to help those in naturally occurring affordable housing.
He noted that people asking for funds go to the county first and if turned away, go to agencies such
as STEP. Councilmember Hallfin stated he does not know where the city’s place would be with
rent assistance, but maybe that is an area where the city can help, so he would support holding a
policy discussion on that topic.
Councilmember Sanger stated her reluctance to have the city provide rent assistance as she believes
it would be never ending, and the city should not be in the social service business. Councilmember
Mavity stated she does not consider rent assistance to be social services, noting the HRA provides
rent assistance to 267 families through vouchers plus other assistance.
Mayor Spano stated the council has indicated that support is needed for work to be done when we
have the climate action plan. If the city is going to have a plan, we need funds to make the plan
changes.
Councilmember Lindberg stated with naturally occurring affordable housing, he would like a
budget conversation related to assistance with rehab and upkeep for the project in Blackstone. He
stated he would also like more information on the city’s benefit package and whether it is
competitive.

2. Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the Year Ended December 31, 2015
Mr. Simon presented the staff report, noting the city received a clean and unqualified audit opinion.
David Mol, CPA and partner with Redpath and Company, presented the Comprehensive Annual
Financial Report (CAFR) for the year ending December 31, 2015, and key financial points. He
stated their role is to assure the financial statements are free of misstatements and are reported in
accordance with generally accepted accounting standards. He congratulated the city on receiving
the Government Finance Officers Association’s Award for Excellence in Financial Reporting for
the 32nd consecutive year. Mr. Mol stated that in looking at internal controls, they included one
item relating to the requirement to reflect adjustments made in financial statements as a result of
the audit. Mr. Mol reviewed the report on Minnesota legal compliance and explained how those
tests are performed. Their audit revealed no items of noncompliance related to those statutory
standards. Mr. Mol presented the items listed in the report on communications to those charged
with governance relating to changes in accounting standards. He described what is required to be
reported relating to the 2015 implementation of Governmental Accounting Standards Board
Statement No. 68 and the city’s share of PERA’s net pension liability. He recommended no change
in funding at this point as this is a book entry, and the city is only required by the State to contribute
towards PERA based on wages. He reported they encountered no difficulties in performing the
audit, and there were no disagreements with staff.
Councilmember Mavity asked what peer cities are contributing to PERA. Mr. Mol explained it is
a state pension plan, so all cities pay the same percentage based on wages.
Mr. Mol reviewed a chart depicting the constraints on fund balances; debt service funds
(outstanding bonds); cash available for that debt; and source of repayment. Mr. Simon stated staff
will present more information on this area in the future when we discuss the financial management
plan and long range projections.
Mr. Mol reviewed the status of the water and sewer utilities. Mr. Harmening pointed out those
dollar figures include the amount paid to the Met Council for disposal. Mr. Mol then reviewed the
status of the solid waste utility.
The council discussed what should be included in the public audit presentation at tonight’s council
meeting and reached consensus to support a detailed presentation as it supports transparent
government, and the audit is one of the most important things the council oversees.
Communications/Meeting Check-In (Verbal)
None.

Mayor Spano read a proclamation celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Lenox Foundation.
Councilmember Lindberg commented on the commitment and work of this group.
Councilmember Sanger concurred with Councilmember Lindberg’s comments.
2c. Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the Year Ending December 31,
2015
Mr. Simon introduced David Mol, CPA and partner with Redpath and Company, noting a clean
and unqualified opinion has been received on the 2015 audit.
Mr. Mol presented Redpath’s opinion on the city’s financial statement and reports, including an
opinion on the fair presentation of the financial statements; internal controls; Minnesota legal
compliance; and communication to those charged with governance. Mr. Mol announced the city
received the Government Finance Officers Association’s Award for Excellence in Financial
Reporting for the 32nd consecutive year, showing the city’s commitment to clear and transparent
reporting. Mr. Mol explained the auditor’s role to determine whether statutory requirements have
been complied with and described the seven guides used to make that determination. Mr. Mol
stated with the report on internal controls, one item was noted relating to adjustments of financial
statements as a result of audit procedures. With regard to the report on Minnesota legal compliance,
their role is to determine whether statutory financial requirements are complied with. Mr. Mol
provided several examples of that compliance evaluation and stated they noted no items of
noncompliance. He reviewed the items listed in the report on communication with those charged
with governance that addressed changes in accounting policies or standards. He noted
Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 68 was implemented in 2015 and
requires pension reporting in the financial statements. Mr. Mol stated there were no difficulties in
performing the audit or disagreements with management. He advised of changes in 2016
accounting standards and stated in summary, a clean and unqualified opinion was issued. There
were no items in legal compliance, and only one item noted on internal control relating to changes
in financial statements as a result of an audit.
Councilmember Brausen noted this is a quick summary of a 202 page report that the council has
reviewed to assure accuracy. He stated the full report is available on line.
Mayor Spano asked what is meant by an ‘unqualified’ audit. Mr. Mol explained it is the technical
term to say the audit opinion includes no qualifications. Mayor Spano referenced the bulleted
points that he felt were important to point out indicating there had been no difficulties in
performing the audit, meaning the auditors experienced no interference in obtaining the
information needed to perform the audit.

City Council Meeting of July 18, 2016 (Item No. 3e) Page 4
Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of June 20, 2016
8a. Series 2016A G.O. Bonds – Indoor/Outdoor Rec Center Projects. Resolution
No. 16-078
Mr. Simon presented the staff report, noting on May 16, 2016, the council had authorized
the issuance of $10 million general obligation bonds, series 2016A. On June 1, staff
conducted a credit review with Standard and Poor’s and on June 14, Standard and Poor’s
affirmed the city’s AAA rating with a stable outlook. Mr. Simon stated only 19 Minnesota
cities are rated as AAA by Standard and Poor’s. He introduced Stacie Kvilvang, Municipal
Advisor with Ehlers & Associates, to present the bid results.
Ms. Kvilvang reviewed the Standard and Poor’s report and explained the significance of
the city receiving a strong rating in five rating categories. She stated the city received five
bids with the lowest responsible bidder being Stifel Nicolaus and Company, with a true
interest rate of 1.37%. Ms. Kvilvang noted the bid included a premium bid of nearly
$400,000 for the construction fund so the city won’t need to use as much planned general
fund dollars and could reprogram those dollars for future capital projects when interest
rates may be higher.
It was moved by Councilmember Lindberg, seconded by Councilmember Mavity, to waive
the reading and adopt Resolution No. 16-078, Awarding the sale of General Obligation
Bonds, Series 2016A.
8b. Floodwall CUP and a Variance Request for Compensatory Flood Storage.
Resolution No. 16-079 and Resolution No. 16-080
Ms. Monson presented the staff report and request of Park Nicollet Health Services (PNHS)
for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to construct a floodwall, storm sewer modifications,
and compensatory flood storage through wetland restoration. She explained a CUP is
required to place fill in the floodplain and for any project that involves the import or export
of more than 400 cubic yards of soil. This request proposes construction of 1,175 cubic
yards of floodwall within the floodplain and the export of approximately 1,815 cubic yards
of soil from the existing wetland. Ms. Monson reviewed the anticipated construction
schedule. She stated staff and the Planning Commission reviewed this request in detail and
presented their findings.
Ms. Monson also presented the request of PNHS for a variance to construct compensatory
flood storage within the existing floodplain. City ordinance requires compensating storage
to be provided outside of the existing floodplain boundary. She displayed a graphic
depicting the wetland boundaries and elevations. Ms. Monson indicated no one made
comment at the Planning Commission’s public hearing on May 18, 2016. The Planning
Commission unanimously recommends approval of the CUP and variance, both with
conditions as recommended by staff.
Councilmember Mavity asked about the location of the floodplain and how, if at all, it
would impact the vision developed as part of the Southwest LRT planning area. She also
asked if this area was envisioned for other uses and indicated she does not want to impact
those plans. Mr. Walther stated the area under this requested permit does not conflict with
previous plans for the Louisiana LRT station.
City Council Meeting of July 18, 2016 (Item No. 3e) Page 5
Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of June 20, 2016
It was moved by Councilmember Mavity, seconded by Councilmember Hallfin, to waive
the reading and adopt Resolution No. 16-079, Granting a Conditional Use Permit (CUP)
to add 1,175 cubic yards of fill due to construction of a floodwall subject to conditions
recommended by staff and to waive the reading and adopt Resolution No. 16-080, granting
a Variance to allow excavation of 1,815 cubic yards of material to provide compensatory
storage within a floodplain subject to conditions recommended by staff.
Councilmember Lindberg noted this project would only have benefit upstream with
floodwater. Ms. Monson stated that is correct.
Councilmember Brausen asked whether this project will be able to deal with a flood such
as experienced in 2014. Robert Riesselman, Park Nicollet Health Services, stated that they
took that flood seriously and described the options they had considered. Mr. Riesselman
explained the proposed floodwall runs along the most vulnerable location, and they will
provide additional sandbagging, if needed, for a flood event. Councilmember Brausen
stated Methodist Hospital is such a tremendous community asset, he wants to assure it is
adequately protected.
Mayor Spano stated he lives near this site and knows hours of operation during construction
activity will be a concern for nearby residents. Mr. Riesselman concurred and stated if they
exceed those hours of activity, he quickly receives an e-mail from Mr. Harmening. He
explained that Barr Engineering designed this project, and the compensatory storage was
partnered with the watershed to improve the degraded wetlands.
The motion passed 7-0.
8c. Second Amendment to the Preliminary Development Agreement with
PLACE. Resolution No. 16-081
Mr. Locke stated this is a companion item to the item acted on by the EDA relating to the
second amendment to the Preliminary Development Agreement with PLACE to expand
the site area for future redevelopment.
Councilmember Sanger explained she had asked to pull this item from the consent calendar
for discussion and to advise the community why she is not supportive of the current PLACE
proposal. Councilmember Sanger stated she thinks the developer who is proposing this
project is putting more emphasis on having trendy, politically correct amenities and
features in the plan rather than putting an emphasis on the impact of the plan on the larger
surrounding community. With the current proposal, she has two items of concern. One is
the traffic impact with 300 apartments, 100 hotel units, and commercial space in the area
of Wooddale Avenue, 36th Street, and the frontage road of Hwy. 7. She stated the traffic
generated on Wooddale Avenue and that intersection and bridge will also impact the
Sorensen neighborhood, and she finds that traffic impact to be too overwhelming as there
already are traffic issues at that intersection and bridge.
Councilmember Sanger stated her second concern deals with the developer wanting to
include 60% “affordable” housing units, which in theory sounds fine until you think about
what happens with that many lower income people confined into a dense development. She
thinks that much concentration of lower income people results in maintenance issues,
City Council Meeting of July 18, 2016 (Item No. 3e) Page 6
Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of June 20, 2016
which will be a huge issue on the surrounding community. Councilmember Sanger stated
St. Louis Park has a 100% rating on affordable housing through the Met Council Housing
Performance Index, so the city is not deficient in providing affordable housing. She stated
there is a big need for affordable housing, but she preferred to see it spread out and de-
concentrated. Councilmember Sanger stated those are the reasons she is not supportive of
this proposal.
Councilmember Miller stated he also does not support this preliminary development
amendment. He has no issue with the affordable housing component but does not support
the location in which it is proposed. Councilmember Miller stated when thinking where
else it could be located, there are difficulties, but Highway 7 and Louisiana has
infrastructure in place. He noted the proposed intersection has light rail coming into that
space, and there is a bridge with design difficulties. Councilmember Miller stated he thinks
the proposed development at this intersection will be a huge issue for the Sorensen
neighborhood and those living south of the intersection. He does like the live, work,
affordable, and open space components; however, he believes the proposed project is too
dense at that intersection.
Councilmember Brausen stated a traffic study has been done for the proposed location and
the amendment will expand the footprint and allow the ability to address the traffic issues
that Engineering and the study felt Wooddale Avenue would deal with. Councilmember
Brausen stated he supports this project and amending the agreement so the developer has
the opportunity to develop a plan that works for all. He stated the council will do all it can
to make sure the project does fit and incorporates the design features and densities the city
wants along the light rail system. Councilmember Brausen felt this project would be a
community asset at this location.
Councilmember Lindberg stated he is supportive of this action. From a broad community
standpoint and after taking input received from community members, he thinks expanding
the site will allow density and height and other issues to be further vetted through the
development process. He pointed out that the council is not taking a vote on the project
tonight, noting that will involve more discussion. Councilmember Lindberg stated this
developer has brought a robust public process. In addition, this project involves transit
oriented development, to which the council has committed, as well as partnering with the
community along this corridor. This project fits from that perspective, too. Councilmember
Lindberg reminded the audience that the council is not making decisions on the
development tonight but, rather agreeing to continue the conversation about the vision for
the area.
Councilmember Mavity stated the framing provided by Councilmember Lindberg is
helpful as this land is owned by public entities, including the city, and will never be
developed into anything unless the city offers a development agreement so that a developer
can explore it with neighbors and the council. She stated this amendment allows that
conversation, discussion, and ability to envision what it will look like. Councilmember
Mavity stated she has never seen a development agreement remain the same from the start
to the finish. She stated her kids spent many years at Kids’ Place, and those taking care of
them probably made a salary well below the maximum income levels allowed under the
current proposal of this developer, as some are calling “affordable housing” and “those
City Council Meeting of July 18, 2016 (Item No. 3e) Page 7
Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of June 20, 2016
people.” Councilmember Mavity stated “those people” are those who cared for her kids,
live here already, and may be struggling to pay their rent.
It was moved by Councilmember Mavity, seconded by Councilmember Brausen, to waive
the reading and adopt Resolution No. 16-081, Approving the Second Amendment to the
Preliminary Development Agreement with PLACE.
The motion passed 5-2 (Councilmember Miller and Sanger opposed).
9. Communications

1b. Roll Call
2. Resolutions, Ordinance, Motions and Discussion Items
2a. Approve Right-of-Way Purchase – Highway 7/Louisiana Avenue Interchange
Project (Project 2012-0100)
Mr. Hunt presented the purchase agreement for 7341 State Highway 7. He noted that on
February 18, 2016, the agreement was finalized on the NE parcel. Staff is now seeking
council approval of the purchase agreement for the SW parcel. When the parcel is
combined with the adjacent EDA property, the site will likely be very desirable for
commercial purposes, due to its proximity to Highway 7 and Louisiana Avenue and to the
proposed SWLRT station. The plan for this property is to eventually sell it to a developer
to recoup the cost of acquisition. Staff is currently working with legal counsel to close the
purchase agreement before the June 30, 2016 deadline in order to save $21,000.00 in tax
payments.
Ms. McDowell Poehler noted this is Torrens property, and quit claim doesn’t happen until
the city settles on the whole piece. In light of the short timeframe, a quit claim deed will
be needed, along with title insurance on the whole piece of property. She added there is
minimal risk in doing this.
Councilmember Brausen asked if a title company had been identified. Ms. McDowell
Poehler stated yes.
It was moved by Councilmember Sanger, seconded by Councilmember Brausen, to approve
the Purchase Agreement between the City and Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc. for 7341 State
Highway 7 located in the Southwest (SW) quadrant of Highway 7 & Louisiana Ave., and
City Council Meeting of July 18, 2016 (Item No. 3f) Page 2

to grant city staff authority to make any necessary changes to the wording of the purchase
agreement, as needed, in order to complete the purchase agreement by June 30, 2016.
The motion passed 6-0. (Mayor Spano absent.)

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Traffic Study No. 665: Authorize the Removal of Permit Parking Areas
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to Adopt Resolution authorizing the elimination of
permit parking restrictions in front of 3026 Salem Avenue South, 3212 Dakota Avenue South, and
4212 Wooddale Avenue.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: The proposed action is consistent with City policy.
SUMMARY: The City has a program for authorizing permit parking for residents who have a
medical need for parking adjacent to their homes. Each year, staff contacts residents who currently
have permit parking to ensure that it is still required. Several residents have notified the City that
their permit parking is no longer necessary and may be removed. Staff has already removed the
permit parking signs. The final step is to rescind the original resolutions authorizing the permit
parking.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: The cost of removing these controls is
minimal and will come out of the general operating budget.
VISION CONSIDERATION: Not applicable.

TITLE: Special Assessment – Sewer Service Line Repair at 3032 Maryland Avenue South
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to Adopt Resolution authorizing the special assessment
for the repair of the sewer service line at 3032 Maryland Avenue South, St. Louis Park, MN.
P.I.D. 17-117-21-21-0046.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: The proposed action is consistent with policy previously

SUMMARY: Mark Genzlinger, owner of the single family residence at 3032 Maryland Avenue
South, has requested the City to authorize the repair of the sewer service line for his home and
assess the cost against the property in accordance with the City’s special assessment policy.
The City requires the repair of service lines to promote the general public health, safety and welfare
within the community. The special assessment policy for the repair or replacement of water or sewer
service lines for existing homes was adopted by the City Council in 1996. This program was put into
place because sometimes property owners face financial hardships when emergency repairs like this are
unexpectedly required. Plans and permits for this service line repair work were completed, submitted,
and approved by City staff. The property owner hired a contractor and repaired the sewer service line
in compliance with current codes and regulations. Based on the completed work, this repair qualifies
for the City’s special assessment program. The property owner has petitioned the City to authorize the
sewer service line repair and special assess the cost of the repair. The total eligible cost of the repair has
been determined to be $5,000.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: The City has funds in place to finance the
cost of this special assessment.

Title: Final Payment Resolution- Sanitary Lift Station #1 Reconstruction- Project No. 4014-3000
DISCUSSION
BACKGROUND: The project scope included the construction of a new wet well outside of the
curb line, installation of a standby generator, and construction of a new control panel. Staff
believes this work will ensure that Lift Station No. 1 operates efficiently and effectively for many
decades.
The existing lift station was built in 1964 and had three main issues. The first issue was an
undersized wet well, which caused the pump to cycle more often than recommended. The next
issue was lack of a standby generator. This means that in an emergency situation, staff was required
to bring the portable generator to the site. The last issue with this station was that the access was
located within the roadway. Maintenance of the existing lift station created traffic disruptions as
well as a safety concern for staff due to the location. All of the issues listed above were fixed with
the construction of the new lift station.
Change Orders $5,871.70
There were two change orders for the project which totaled $5,871.70. There were four items
included with the change orders. An extra wire was needed to power the lift station and the mast
needed to be enlarged to include a light fixture. In order to fit the standby generator (which was
provided by the City) on the lift station pad, extra concrete was needed along with a curb retaining
wall.
Overrun $34,314.03
An overrun relates to the project scope being enlarged. There was existing bituminous curb
adjacent to the new concrete curb which was not draining properly so it was replaced with concrete
curb. Additional pavement was necessary for the connection to gas service. The location of the
gas main was further from the site than anticipated. Also, two of the sanitary manholes which were
connected to were in a condition which needed replacement.

The event is a celebration of the five-year anniversary of Steel Toe Brewing. The current licensed
premises includes an outdoor patio area approximately 650 square feet in size. The applicant has
proposed expanding the outdoor patio area an additional 1,920 square feet for the event on August
20th.
The five-year anniversary event will feature Steel Toe beers, soda, water, multiple food trucks,
and live outdoor music during the afternoon and evening. The perimeter of the outdoor space will
be fenced off and guests will be required to show ID at the entrance to obtain a wristband if they
are 21 years of age or older. Steel Toe staff will provide security for the event. Overflow parking
has been arranged at the neighboring establishments in the Beltline Industrial Park.
City Ordinance Section 3-68 (a) states that each liquor license shall be issued only for the exact
rooms and square footage described in the application. A license is valid only in the compact and
contiguous building or structure situated on the premises described in the license.
City Ordinance Section 3-106 states that proposed enlargement or substantial alteration which
changes the character of the licensed establishment or extension of a premise previously licensed
shall not be allowed unless the City Council approves an amendment to the liquor license.
If approved the temporary extension of the patio area would be valid only for the event on August
20, 2016.

Title: Final Payment Resolution - Traffic Signal Project - W. 36th Street - Project No. 4014-1300
DISCUSSION
BACKGROUND: Signal/ Intersection Improvements at Wooddale and 36th Street were installed
in anticipation of traffic being re-directed to this intersection as part of the MnDOT Highway 100
improvement project. The signal at Xenwood, originally planned for 2018, was added to this
project to address the anticipated re-development and traffic modifications which will accompany
the construction of SWLRT. The improvements have assisted in moving traffic through these
intersections during the closure of the Hwy 7 Bridge.
The schedule to complete this work was critical, since the project was underway while the
Minnetonka Boulevard Bridge was closed to traffic. 36th and Wooddale is the local detour route
for traffic. During final design and construction, a number of unexpected items came up that
needed to be addressed. This resulted in the cost for the project being $59,164.54 over the awarded
amount. A summary of the additional costs is as follows:
Extra Work $31,688.98
The scope of the project was increased primarily due to changes made in how the curb and
pavement matched into the final Southwest Light Rail Transit (SWLRT) design. Upon SWLRT
office review, engineers from the SW project office requested changes in the curb alignment.
Those changes resulted in extra work including curb, sidewalk removals, additional pavement
removal and additional paving. These changes also required pavement milling to be added to the
work as part of Change Order 1.
Change Order 1 $27,475.56
Since this project included underground construction in a developed area with limited space, a
number of utility conflicts arose during the project. Buried obstacles such as abandoned pipes,
unidentified pipes, utility lines and underground sprinkler systems which did not show up when
we completed our utility locates, forced changes to locations for three of the signal poles. As a
result, additional costs were incurred by the contractor to re-mobilize crews while new locations
were identified and waiting for utilities to be relocated.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Reauthorizing Membership in the 4M Fund
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to Adopt Resolution reauthorizing membership in the
4M Fund in order to allow the investment of the 2016 Bond proceeds.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Is the 4M Fund an appropriate tool for investing the 2016 Bond
proceeds?
SUMMARY: The Minnesota Municipal Money Market Fund (the 4M Fund) was formed in
1987 in accordance with Minnesota State Statutes and provides an opportunity for government
units to jointly invest funds to enhance interest earnings while maintaining liquidity. The City of
St. Louis Park has been a participant in the 4M Fund since 1989 and commonly uses the 4M
Liquid Asset Fund to invest cash needed in the short term.
As permitted by Minnesota State Statutes, the proceeds from the sale of the 2016A General
Obligation Bonds for financing the indoor refrigeration replacement and the outdoor recreation
facility can be invested in 4M Fund fixed rate investments during construction. The City has
used the 4M Fund in the past on bond projects. PMA Financial Network, Inc. administers the
4M Fund and its fixed rate investment program. Approval of the attached resolution is required
to authorize PMA Financial Network, Inc. as service provider for the 4M Fund fixed rate
investment program allowing for investment of the bond proceeds.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: Investing the bond proceeds in fixed rate
securities of the 4M Fund follows the City’s Investment Policy and will provide for safety,
liquidity, and enhanced interest earnings during the spend down of the bond proceeds.

A. Variance: Variance for Fence Height in a Front Yard
Location: 4120 West 28th Street
Applicants: Eric and Johnna Rossbach
Case No. 16-10-VAR
Nicole Mardell, Associate Planner, presented the staff report. The applicants are
requesting a variance to allow the construction of a 6 foot high privacy fence in the front
yard of a property zoned R-1 Single Family Residential. The applicants propose to erect
a fence located in the front and side yard of the property to create a private outdoor living
space. The applicants state that due to the location of the principal building on a corner
lot, there is no adequate outdoor living space in the rear yard. The applicants have
reviewed the layout of the home with professional landscapers to determine an alternative
solution to a fence, but no adequate solution has been found. The current height
maximum for a fence in the front yard is 4 feet.
Ms. Mardell explained that the property is located on a corner lot with frontage on
Inglewood Avenue and a side yard abutting West 28th Street. The home has a minimal
City Council Meeting of July 18, 2016 (Item No. 4l) Page 2
Title: Board of Zoning Appeals Meeting Minutes of March 24, 2016
setback along the north and east property lines and a large setback on the west and south
property lines. Ms. Mardell noted there has been some confusion on the designated yards
for the property per the zoning code. She presented an aerial view of the property
indicating the designated yards.
Ms. Mardell stated that a letter was received from James W. Keenan, 2808 Inglewood
Ave. S., on March 21, 2016. The letter of objection was distributed to the board. Mr.
Keenan’s key points assert that the variance may set a precedent for similar approvals and
that the same level of privacy could be resolved with natural plantings.
Ms. Mardell said staff finds the front of the house faces the side yard abutting the street
and the placement of the house on the corner presents difficulty in creating a semi-private
usable area typical of a single family lot. The narrow lot width presents a practical
difficulty resulting in 5 feet of usable space behind the house. The side yard is the only
opportunity to provide private open space for the property. The preferred fence is not
adjacent to a neighboring driveway and will not impact vehicle sight lines.
Ms. Mardell stated staff recommends approval of the 2 foot variance to the fence height
requirement in the front yard to allow for a 6 foot fence rather than the allowed 4 foot
maximum, subject to the 50 ft. visibility triangle being maintained at Inglewood Avenue
and West 28th Street.
Ms. Mardell read the 10-day appeal process.
Commissioner Solmer said his copy of the zoning ordinance states that the height of the
front yard fence is 3 ½ feet. He asked if that has been changed.
Ms. Mardell responded that it is 4 feet.
Commissioner Solmer asked the procedure for determining what is the front yard and
side yard of this house.
Ms. Mardell responded said staff determined the front yard looking at the measurement
of the lot. The shortest side of the corner lot is determined as the front.
Vice-Chair Kaufman said given the letter received from Mr. Keenan and concerns about
the neighborhood he wondered if the city granted other similar variances in this
neighborhood in the past.
Gary Morrison, Assistant Zoning Administrator, responded similar variances have not
been granted in this neighborhood. He said other applications have been entertained in
the past, but not very often. One such variance was approved but the fence was not built.
He said every circumstance is different so the idea of precedent doesn’t come into play.
Vice-Chair Kaufman opened the public hearing.
Eric Rossbach, applicant, said the staff report properly outlines the request.
City Council Meeting of July 18, 2016 (Item No. 4l) Page 3
Title: Board of Zoning Appeals Meeting Minutes of March 24, 2016
Commissioner Bloyer remarked that the applicant indicated they had spoken with some
landscape architects. She asked if he was looking for something other than a fence. She
said she was curious why a landscape architect would not recommend shrubbery.
Mr. Rossbach said the idea of shrubbery came up. However they have dogs and will be
having children. There will be grills and other items in the outdoor space and they felt the
shrubbery wouldn’t provide adequate security and that is why they wanted a fence. He
said they did look at having the 6 ft. fence along 28th St. and came to the conclusion that
wouldn’t be an adequate aesthetic appeal and character for the home or neighborhood.
Commissioner Solmer said he didn’t follow the aesthetic statement. He asked if the
applicant felt it would be more aesthetic to run the fence all the way around.
Mr. Rossbach said they looked at different variations and thought for a 6 foot high fence
they needed to be under current zoning code along W. 28th St. and in order to accomplish
that there is more lineal footage. They looked at different designs and given where the
front door of the home is located they weren’t able to come up with a design that looked
good with the home.
Commissioner Bloyer asked if there is a doorway next to the sun room.
Mr. Rossbach responded there is not currently a doorway next to the sun room. He said
their intent is to have that installed this spring.
The Vice-Chair closed the public hearing as no one was present wishing to speak.
Commissioner Solmer said he lives nearby. He said he has observed the corner lots
recently and most of them do not have a fence. They all have the same problem. Most of
their available yard space is devoted to the setback on the two streets. Most do not have a
fence. For those that do have a 6 foot fence typically it doesn’t start any further forward
than the front part of the house which is what is allowed by current code. He spoke about
the visibility triangle issue with this corner house.
Commissioner Bloyer remarked the applicant has worked around the visibility triangle
issue.
Commissioner Solmer said they have to run it at an angle and the point is that is going to
cut directly on the land the applicant is hoping to enclose. He said he doesn’t think there
is any other house in the area that has a front yard walled off. It would look like a fort or
stockade. He said it would set a bad precedent. He spoke about a discussion at the July
23, 2015 BOZA meeting about eyes on the street philosophy and the importance to
maintain visibility. He said it helps for security. He stated he thinks the open look of the
front yards in St. Louis Park is more friendly, welcoming and neighborly instead of being
all blocked off which is seen in other communities.
Commissioner Solmer said one of the things BOZA is supposed to consider is the impact
on the character of the neighborhood. He said if this variance is approved it would have
an irreversible impact on the character of the neighborhood by allowing this front yard to
be blocked off.
City Council Meeting of July 18, 2016 (Item No. 4l) Page 4
Title: Board of Zoning Appeals Meeting Minutes of March 24, 2016
Commissioner Bloyer said it was a mitigating factor for her that the only spot the
applicant has for a play and socializing area is the legally defined front yard. She said she
thinks they have a legal alternative and that is the problem she has, not to mention that 4
feet is not so low that a dog can jump over it, unless it is a big dog.
Vice-Chair Kaufman said the location the fence would not create a wall around the front
of the house. It is a fence on the side of the house. It is a high traffic area for pedestrians.
A 4 foot fence doesn’t provide privacy. He said given the unique nature of the house and
the fact that in the neighborhood there is no real back yard or any privacy area, he is less
concerned with what would be a 6 foot wall on the side of the house, than if they would
put a 4 foot fence around the actual front of the house, and how that fits in with the
community. He said because of that, and with the staff recommendation that this meets
the qualifications for a variance, he said his inclination is to approve the variance.
Gary Morrison, Assistant Zoning Administrator, showed the side of the house which is
technically the front yard as it is constructed. He said the board could choose as a
condition of the variance that the homeowner could also be limited to a 4 foot height
along the whole side yard abutting the street. He remarked that it is not uncommon for
front yards to be up against someone’s back yard and therefore up against a 6 foot fence.
Staff’s analysis was that it isn’t uncommon for that neighbor to the north to have a 6 foot
fence in the front yard. He said staff’s major concern in considering the request was that
there is not a driveway up against the proposed fence so by allowing a 6 foot fence a
visibility hazard for a car coming out of the driveway onto the street is not created. The
concern was that here is a house that really has no outside privacy and for quality of
housing staff felt that was a major concern. He said he would recommend that the board
adds a condition that the side yard abutting the street be limited to a 4 foot height and that
the 6 foot fence is limited to the front face of the house as constructed along 28th St. That
way the sight line down 28th St., which is the front of the house, is preserved just like it
normally would be.
Commissioner Bloyer asked if there is a point hypothetically at which the fence could be
pulled in far enough away from the sidewalk so a variance wouldn’t be necessary.
Mr. Morrison responded there is not. The appropriate limit is all the way to the setback
line.
Vice-Chair Kaufman said the photo provided of a proposed 6 foot fence is not quite the
fortress perhaps it is made out to be.
Commissioner Solmer said the example provided in the photo is a more typical
application where the fence starts next to the house. It does not enclose the front yard.
This is seen all over the neighborhood. A lot of people do it but it is often not located in
the front of the house but rather the side or rear.
Commissioner Bloyer said what would help her would be more emphasis on both
minimum lot size and width smaller than the minimum requirements. She said what she
wants to avoid is having precedent for tall fences in legally defined front yards. That
really is the issue here. She said BOZA needs to make sure that it is narrowed down in
scope enough to avoid opening up precedent for more fortresses. It is a problem of
City Council Meeting of July 18, 2016 (Item No. 4l) Page 5
Title: Board of Zoning Appeals Meeting Minutes of March 24, 2016
precedent plus the fact that the yard has no shrubbery. She said her stipulation is that it is
defined more narrowly.
Mr. Morrison thanked Commissioner Bloyer and said the condition of 4 foot fence height
on the side yard abutting the street along 28th St. is to avoid the barricaded look and
preserve the front yard as constructed. He said a condition could be added that the fence
must be removed and built to the limiting front yard height should the house be rebuilt or
remodeled so that the front faces Inglewood.
Commissioner Bloyer said she agrees with that but it also has to say explicitly in th e
rationale that it is also minimum lot size.
Mr. Morrison said that can be called out in the findings along with lot width or lot size,
corner lot, house constructed facing side yard instead of front yard, and the fact that the
fence does not create a visibility problem for neighbors as far as the driveway is
concerned.
Commissioner Solmer said hypothetically if the definition was changed for what is front
and side for this lot, then the homeowner would not need a variance.
Mr. Morrison responded staff wrestles with that as it comes up with more than fences. It
comes up with a few situations for residential and commercial. The code is written for
the shape of the lot.
Commissioner Solmer asked if that should be considered by City Council in a stud y
session.
Mr. Morrison said because there are so many situations and circumstances the answer
always comes back that it is probably best handled in a variance.
Vice-Chair Kaufman said aside from the legal definition of front and side, by every
intention the front yard of this property is the side yard. He said setting a precedent isn’t
an issue for him as Mr. Morrison came up with one example over eight years and in that
case the fence was not even built. Vice-Chair Kaufman said he isn’t very receptive to the
argument that the whole character of the city will change by allowing one fence. He said
it is just a matter of practicality in this case.
Commissioner Bloyer said the board does have a limit as to how much it can interpret.
Vice-Chair Kaufman made a motion to adopt a resolution approving an application for a
6 foot fence in a front yard at 4120 W. 28th Street.
Commissioner Bloyer made a friendly amendment to the motion to grant the variance
with the condition that if the house orientation changes such that the legal front yard
becomes the de facto front yard that the fence has to be taken down to 4 feet and that the

A. Methodist Hospital Floodwall – Conditional Use Permit & Variance Request
Location: 6500 Excelsior Blvd.
Applicant: Park Nicollet Health Services (PNHS)
Case Nos. 16-15-CUP and 16-16-VAR
Jennifer Monson, Planner, presented the staff report. The applicant requests a Conditional
Use Permit to construct a floodwall, storm sewer modifications, and construction of
compensatory storage through wetland restoration. A variance is requested to construct
compensatory floodplain storage within the existing floodplain. Ms. Monson explained
that the applicant is proposing a floodwall to help prevent future flooding on and around
the hospital.
Ms. Monson discussed the partnership between PNHS and Minnehaha Creek Watershed
District (MCWD) on the project.
Ms. Monson reviewed how the criteria for conditions of approval for the Conditional Use
Permit have been met.
Ms. Monson presented the findings for each criteria to grant the variance request.
Commissioner Robertson asked if the project would alleviate water backing up through
manholes which was a problem during the 2014 flood.

Title: Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of May 18, 2016
Robert Riesselman, PNHS, said the seepage underneath was a big problem during the
2014 event. He said that problem will be addressed through the floodwall design. Sean
Walther, Planning and Zoning Supervisor, added that a back-flow prevention system is
part of the design on the existing on the existing stormwater pipes that penetrate that
system. Water can escape but not back into the site.
Commissioner Carper asked if the construction would create an increase in mosquito
breeding areas.
Mark Kretschmer, Barr Engineering, said there will be some standing water. Mr.
Riesselman noted that compensatory storage work will be done in the winter when things
freeze up. He said in general there will be more standing water than less when the project
is completed.
Commissioner Robertson remarked that by building the wall the footprint decreases
which adds depth and less surface. The wetlands, which are currently degraded, will be
upgraded through the project.
There was a discussion about water elevation during a 100 year flood.
Mr. Riesselman noted that the creek channel from Louisiana to Excelsior is fairly shallow
and has sometimes been dry in extreme years.
Chair Johnston-Madison opened the public hearing. As no one was present wishing to

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Conditional Use Permit – Parking Lot for Perspectives, Inc.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to approve the Conditional Use Permit to locate 39
parking spaces required for Perspectives Inc. to a parking lot located at 7008 Walker Street with
conditions as recommended by staff.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does the proposal meet the conditions of the Comprehensive
Plan and the Zoning Ordinance?
SUMMARY: The Applicant, Perspectives Inc., is in the process of planning an expansion of their
facility located at 3381 Gorham Avenue. The expansion will require additional parking, which
cannot be constructed on their site because the property is too small to accommodate both the
addition and the required parking. Therefore, the Applicant purchased the property at 7008 Walker
Street, and constructed a new parking lot. It is their intent that the new parking lot will provide
the minimum number of parking spaces required for the expansion.
The new parking lot is a permitted use, and does not require council action for its construction.
The conditional use permit (CUP) is required to allow Perspectives to locate 39 required parking
spaces off-site. If approved, the CUP will require an irrevocable off-site parking agreement that
encumbers the new parking lot located at 7008 Walker Street for use by the use located at 3381
Gorham Avenue (currently the Applicant).
Future owners of the parking lot and facility will be bound by the CUP and the parking agreement.
Approval of the CUP will enable the Applicant to proceed with fundraising and planning for the
facility expansion.
The application was presented to the Planning Commission on June 15, 2016. No comments were
received at the public hearing, and the Planning Commission recommended approval with a 5-0
vote. The Planning Commission meeting minutes are attached.

Title: Conditional Use Permit – Parking Lot for Perspectives, Inc.
DISCUSSION
REQUEST: Requested is a Conditional Use Permit to locate 39 parking spaces required for
Perspectives Inc. to a parking lot located at 7008 Walker Street.
LOCATION:
Comprehensive Plan: Perspectives – Commercial
Parking lot - Industrial
Zoning: Perspectives – Commercial
Parking lot - General Industrial (IG)
Neighborhood: Lenox
Background:
Request: In 2015, Perspectives purchased 7008 Walker Street and demolished the small building
located on the property with the intent of constructing a parking lot to meet their parking needs
and to provide parking for a future expansion at their facility located across the street at 3381
Gorham Avenue.
Construction of the parking lot is nearly complete, however, Perspectives cannot count the parking
spaces toward their number of parking spaces required by the zoning ordinance for the operations
they are conducting at 3381 Gorham Avenue until a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) is approved
authorizing the off-site parking, and the conditions of the CUP are met.
About Perspectives: The following summary of who Perspectives is, and what they do, was taken
from their website, www.perspectives-family.org.

Title: Conditional Use Permit – Parking Lot for Perspectives, Inc.
Perspectives started in 1976 by a small group of women committed to increasing awareness around
chemical dependency and its consequences. Now four decades later Perspectives has grown into
an award winning, multi-program, human service agency for women and their children suffering
from addictions, mental illness, and poverty. Their goals are to:
Maintain sobriety
Improve mental health
Enhance a child’s academic and social skills
Improve employability
Reunite parents with their children
Decrease child abuse
Increase parenting skills
Augment healthy life styles of children with daily nutrition
Build community
Advance citizenship
The services offered are extensive and span from recovery and mental health programs to
employment and parenting education. Perspectives is the only supportive housing program that
provides a 12-month, in-house academic, social, and nutritional enrichment program for children.
Their programs successfully return 83% of their residents to permanent housing. They have been
recognized by 25 awards both nationally and locally, and nearly 100% of their clients reside in
Hennepin County. Self-sufficiency is at the foundation of all their programs.
Zoning Analysis: The following is an analysis of the zoning requirements for the parking lot and
the requested CUP.
Parking Lot: Parking lots are permitted as a principal land use in the I-G General Industrial zoning
district, therefore the parking lot permit was administratively reviewed. The permit has not been
finaled, as staff is waiting for a revision to the plans showing two additional trees to be planted
along Gorham Avenue, and a public sidewalk to be installed along Gorham Avenue. Staff is
recommending a condition to the CUP that the parking lot must receive final approval from the
city stating that all building, zoning, and engineering requirements have been met prior to allowing
the parking to satisfy minimum parking requirements for 3381 Gorham Avenue.
Conditional Use Permit: The zoning ordinance requires a minimum number of parking spaces for
all uses. The number of spaces required depends upon the use occurring at the property. The
parking spaces are required to be located on the same property as the use, except that, the property
owner may also count the on-street parking spaces located adjacent to their property.
The property owner may apply for a CUP to locate some, or all, of the required parking spaces on
a separate parcel. As part of the application, the applicant needs to demonstrate that the property
meets the following conditions:
(1) Paved pedestrian access shall be provided and maintained between the off-site parking
facility and the principle structure.
(2) The off-site parking facility shall be located no farther than 300 feet from a residential
structure and no farther than 500 feet from a non-residential structure. Shuttle service may
be provided as an alternative means of access for non-residential uses.
City Council Meeting of July 18, 2016 (Item No. 8a) Page 4
Title: Conditional Use Permit – Parking Lot for Perspectives, Inc.
(3) Off-site parking facilities shall be protected by an irrevocable covenant recorded by the
County. A certified copy of the recorded document shall be provided to the Zoning
Administrator within 60 days after approval of the agreement by the City Council.
Staff finds that all conditions can be met. An analysis of the conditions follows:
(1) Paved pedestrian access shall be provided and maintained between the off-site parking
facility and the principle structure.
There is a sidewalk along Walker Street that leads to the intersection of Walker Street and
Gorham Avenue. There
is also a sidewalk that
extends from the parking
lot to the existing
sidewalk along Walker
Street at the intersection.
To meet this requirement,
Perspectives will install a
crosswalk across Gorham
Avenue and a sidewalk
along the east side of
Gorham Avenue that will
bring customers and
employees to the front door. (See photograph)
(2) The off-site parking facility shall be located no farther than 300 feet from a residential
structure and no farther than 500 feet from a non-residential structure. Shuttle service may
be provided as an alternative means of access for non-residential uses.
The parking lot is located less than 100 feet from the Perspectives property. The path of
travel from the front door to the parking lot is approximately 230 feet. This condition will
be met with the construction of the sidewalk and crosswalk.
(3) Off-site parking facilities shall be protected by an irrevocable covenant recorded by the
County. A certified copy of the recorded document shall be provided to the Zoning
Administrator within 60 days after approval of the agreement by the City Council.
Perspectives owns both properties, and the agreement will be completed following the
approval of the CUP.

PARKING FOR THE USE LOCATED AT 3381 GORHAM AVENUE
SOUTH
BE IT RESOLVED BY the City Council of the City of St. Louis Park:
Findings
1. Perspectives, Inc., located at 3381 Gorham Avenue has made application to the City Council
for a Conditional Use Permit under Section 36-361(h) of the St. Louis Park Ordinance Code for
the purpose of permitting off-site parking located at 7008 Walker Street. The properties are
legally described as follows:
3381 Gorham Avenue:
Lots 45 to 53 inclusive, Block 174, “Rearrangement of St. Louis Park”
and
7008 Walker Street:
Lots 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 and the East 18 feet of Lot 22, Block 36, “Rearrangement

Hennepin County, Minnesota
2. The City Council has considered the advice and recommendation of the Planning Commission
(Case No. 16-21-CUP) and the effect of the proposed off-site parking on the health, safety and
welfare of the occupants of the surrounding lands, existing and anticipated traffic conditions, the
effect on values of properties in the surrounding area, the effect of the use on the Comprehensive
Plan, and compliance with the intent of the Zoning Ordinance.
3. The Council has determined that the off-site parking will not be detrimental to the health,
safety, or general welfare of the community nor will it cause serious traffic congestion nor hazards,
nor will it seriously depreciate surrounding property values, and the proposed off-site parking is
in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Zoning Ordinance and the Comprehensive
Plan.

3. Public Hearings
A. Perspectives – Conditional Use Permit
Location: 3381 Gorham Ave. and 7008 Walker St.
Applicant: Perspectives, Inc.
Case No.: 16-21-CUP
Gary Morrison, Assistant Zoning Administrator, presented the staff report. He explained
that the applicant is requesting the conditional use permit to locate 39 required parking
spaces to a parking lot located at 7008 Walker Street. He reviewed conditions required for
off-site parking and noted that all conditions can be met.
Commissioner Carper commented that there is no continuation of sidewalk up to Walker
St. Mr. Morrison said Perspectives will construct a public sidewalk from the NE corner up
to the sidewalk that leads to their front door. The city is also asking the applicant to
construct a sidewalk on the west side of Gorham Ave. This is separate from the conditional
use permit but tied to the redevelopment of the parking lot.
Commissioner Carper asked about the crosswalk across Gorham. He asked why a private
party would establish a crosswalk when it is implicit there is a crosswalk between any
corners of a street. He asked why, if necessary, this wouldn’t be a city responsibility.
Mr. Morrison responded that this was reviewed with the Engineering Dept. He said it is
correct that it is implied that there is a crosswalk even though it isn’t striped. There have
been a few circumstances where a route of travel is unique and specific to a business and
the city has asked the business to install and maintain the crosswalk.
Commissioner Carper asked what maintenance of crosswalk entails.
Mr. Morrison stated that it has to be installed and maintained to city standards. It will need
to be repainted every 2-3 years depending on the wear and tear on the street.
City Council Meeting of July 18, 2016 (Item No. 8a) Page 9
Title: Conditional Use Permit – Parking Lot for Perspectives, Inc.
Commissioner Tatalovich asked if there is anything between the parking lot and the
building to prevent jay walking.
Mr. Morrison said the sidewalk is extended to the parking lot to direct people from the lot
to the path. He spoke about a natural grade change at the north end of Gorham which will
discourage cutting across. There is also some vegetation at the north end of Gorham to
discourage cutting across.
Cheryl Cochrane, CFO of Perspectives, said they are very excited to have additional
parking adjacent to their building. They have evening programming and cars are parked
pretty far down Gorham Ave. The parking lot will provide a safe spot for participants,
especially in the winter.
The Chair opened the public hearing. As no one was present wishing to speak she closed
the public hearing.
Commissioner Carper made a motion recommending approval of the conditional use
permit. Commissioner Tatalovich seconded the motion, and the motion passed on a vote
of 5-0.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: First Reading of a Zoning Ordinance Amendment – Floodplain Districts
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to approve First Reading of an Ordinance amending
Division 10. Floodplain Districts Section 36-292(f) of the City Code to allow compensatory flood
storage be provided using accepted engineering practices to achieve the goal of eliminating any
increase in flood stage as a result of a project, and to set the second reading for August 1, 2016.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Should the City Code be amended to allow compensatory flood
storage to be located within the floodplain?
SUMMARY: St. Louis Park requires compensatory flood storage for all projects within the
Floodplain District overlay where development occurs in the floodplain in order to avoid any
increase in flood stage. Historically, the City of St. Louis Park has required compensatory flood
storage be constructed outside the existing floodway, which is unique. Federal, State, and
Watershed Districts do not require this provision in managing the floodplain.
Requiring compensatory flood storage be located outside the floodplain essentially forces a land
exchange of upland (land out of the floodplain) for filling within the floodplain. While this rule
may have discouraged projects in the floodplain, it does not add flood protection to the city and
may expand the existing footprint of the flooded areas. The proposed amendment would allow
required compensatory storage to be constructed within the existing floodplain, following the
natural water patterns in the area.
The City of St. Louis Park recently approved a variance request allowing compensatory storage be
located within the existing floodplain at Methodist Hospital. There are additional projects which
this rule would impact including Meadowbrook Golf Course Restoration and city bridge
replacement projects such as the West 37th Street Bridge and the Louisiana Avenue Bridge
replacements. The rule would also likely impact all future bridge replacements across Minnehaha
Creek. To avoid future variance requests of a similar nature, city staff advise updating the city’s
Zoning Ordinance to allow compensatory storage both within and outside the existing floodplain.

City Council Meeting of July 18, 2016 (Item No. 8b) Page 2
Title: First Reading of a Zoning Ordinance Amendment – Floodplain Districts
DISCUSSION
BACKGROUND: The applicant for this amendment is the City of St. Louis Park in order to
update the city’s Floodplain District within the Zoning Ordinance. If Council adopts this
amendment it will apply to all properties located within Floodplain Districts within St. Louis Park,
and will provide more flexibility regarding where compensating flood storage is provided.
Floodplains are, in general, land areas which are subjected to flooding or standing water during
extreme precipitation events. These areas are defined by topographical conditions and are typically
situated adjacent to areas of water collection such as wetlands, lakes and streams. Floodplains are
therefore “flood-prone” and are hazardous to development activities if the vulnerability of those
activities exceeds an acceptable level.
Flooding events are defined in terms of their statistical frequency. A “100-year flood” or “100-
year floodplain” describes an event or areas subject to a 1% probability in any given year. This
concept does not mean such a flood will occur only once in one hundred years, rather each year
there is a 1% chance of a flood event occurring. The frequency of inundation can also depend on
where substantial rainfall occurs in a particular season each year, or where the annual flood is
derived principally from snowmelt. Certain areas of a floodplain may be inundated nearly every
year.
Federal and State regulations require cities to regulate floodplains. Floodplains are defined as flood
hazard areas along water bodies or low areas that are subject to periodic inundation during storm
events that produce heavy or sustained rainfall events. The Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) and Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) are the responsible
regulatory bodies involved. In addition, the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District also requires
permits relative to stormwater storage.
Required regulation includes the establishment of floodplain districts, permitted uses, conditional
uses, flood protection for structures, and maintenance of floodplain areas. The DNR has created
model ordinances that cities can adopt, and many cities adopt these verbatim. In 1976, the City of
St. Louis Park adopted and has periodically amended a Floodplain ordinance which regulates
development and management of floodplain areas within the City. This ordinance includes a
provision which requires filling within the floodplain be off-set with compensatory storage located
outside the floodplain.
Compensatory storage is a provision that ensures that development within the floodplain will not
increase the elevation of the floodwaters. Each watershed holds a specific volume below the flood
elevation. When fill material or buildings are placed in the floodplain, the flood storage areas are
diminished and flood elevations will go up because there is less room for the floodwaters. The
compensatory storage requirement maintains flood storage by ensuring any fill materials will be
replaced by an equal volume of storage space.
St. Louis Park’s requirement that compensatory storage be located outside of the floodplain is
unique. Federal, State and Watersheds do not require this provision in managing the floodplain,
and it is not included in the model ordinance. This additional requirement has created the need for
variances within the city. City staff has reviewed the impact of this requirement on projects with
public benefit and has determined that it has unnecessarily increased cost and is impractical as a
floodplain management tool.
City Council Meeting of July 18, 2016 (Item No. 8b) Page 3
Title: First Reading of a Zoning Ordinance Amendment – Floodplain Districts
While it is unclear why the city adopted such a restrictive rule for compensatory storage, it is safe
to assume that the intent was to discourage development from altering floodplain areas. The
existing rule requires that if an applicant wishes to fill in the floodplain, they must have land
available outside the floodplain to create compensatory storage. This essentially forces a land
exchange of upland (land out of the floodplain) for filling within the floodplain. While this rule
may have discouraged projects in the floodplain, it does not add flood protection to the city and
may add to the existing footprint of the flooded areas.
The rule has also had negative impact on infrastructure and flood protection projects. In areas of
limited space and available upland, the rule forces flood protection projects to find upland far from
the project to meet the storage requirements. The proposed amendment would allow any required
compensatory storage to be constructed within the existing floodplain, following the natural water
patterns in the area.
The City of St. Louis Park Planning Commission has recently recommended approval for a
variance request allowing compensatory storage be located within the existing floodplain at
Methodist Hospital. There are currently an additional two projects which this rule would impact
including city bridge replacement projects such as the West 37th Street Bridge and the Louisiana
Avenue Bridge replacements. The rule would also likely impact all future bridge replacements
across Minnehaha Creek. To avoid future variance requests of a similar nature, city staff advise
updating the city’s Zoning Ordinance to allow compensatory storage both within and outside the
existing floodplain.
Zoning Amendment:
(f) Compensating storage. The city may approve such structure, fill, deposit,
obstruction or storage of materials or equipment if it otherwise complies with the
provisions of this chapter and provision is made for compensating storage of
floodwaters displaced by the activity listed in this subsection (f). Such
compensating storage shall be located where it will achieve the goal of eliminating
a stage increase. The area where the compensating storage is proposed shall be an
area which was outside the 100-year flood zone before development as
compensating storage.
