7a. Proposed Purchase Agreement – 5725 Highway 7 (former McGarvey Coffee
property). EDA Resolution No. 15-01 and EDA Resolution No. 15-02.
Mr. Hunt presented the staff report and explained that the EDA recently reaffirmed its
commitment to work with PLACE on a concept plan for redevelopment of the McGarvey
site and that an agreement had been reached with the current property owner to acquire
the property for $2.75 million with $550,000 paid at closing and monthly payments of
$15,000 plus 4% interest for a period of 24 months at which point the remaining balance
would be due. He stated one advantage to acquiring the property under a Contract for
Economic Development Authority Meeting of March 2, 2015 (Item No. 3a) Page 2
Title: Economic Development Authority Meeting Minutes of February 2, 2015
Deed is that it allows time for the EDA to secure funding commitments from other
agencies and for PLACE to complete its due diligence and secure financing. He stated
that PLACE intends to purchase the property from the EDA prior to the end of the
contract term, thereby making the EDA financially whole. In order to preserve the
EDA’s ability to reimburse the Development Fund for expenses incurred related to the
property acquisition and property management, he recommended that the EDA approve
an Interfund Loan resolution of up to $4 million. He stated that completing this action
provides the EDA with the most flexibility to reimburse the Development Fund if and
when a TIF district is created to facilitate redevelopment of the property.
It was moved by Commissioner Brausen, seconded by Commissioner Jacobs, to adopt
EDA Resolution No. 15-01 Approving Purchase Agreement between the St. Louis Park
Economic Development Authority and DMD Properties, LLC.
The motion passed 6-0 (Commissioner Sanger absent).
It was moved by Commissioner Lindberg, seconded by Commissioner Hallfin, to adopt
EDA Resolution No. 15-02 Authorizing an Internal Loan for Advance of Funds in
Connection with Acquisition of Certain Property within Redevelopment Project No. 1.
The motion passed 6-0 (Commissioner Sanger absent).
7b. Assignment & Assumption of Redevelopment Contract – Louisiana Oaks
Apartments. EDA Resolution No. 15-03.
Mr. Hunt presented the staff report and stated the redevelopment contract between the
EDA, the City, and MSP SLP Apartments, LLC, provides that whenever the Redeveloper
wishes to convey the property at 7201 Walker Street and assign its obligations as well as
the associated TIF Note to a third party, the EDA must review and approve the
assignment. He stated the EDA issued a $3.5 million TIF Note to reimburse it for costs
associated with the development of the Louisiana Oaks apartments and MSP SLP
Apartments, LLC, recently entered into a contract to sell the complex to Sidal Crossroads
Co., LLC, and approval of the assignment means the EDA consents to Sidal Crossroads
Co.’s assumption of the obligations under the redevelopment contract and TIF Note.
It was moved by Commissioner Lindberg, seconded by Commissioner Hallfin, to adopt
EDA Resolution No. 15-03 Approving an Assignment and Assumption of Redevelopment
Contract between MSP SLP Apartments, LLC, and Sidal Crossroads Co., LLC.
The motion passed 6-0 (Commissioner Sanger absent).

CITY COUNCIL STUDY SESSION
ST. LOUIS PARK, MINNESOTA
FEBRUARY 9, 2015
The meeting convened at 6:30 p.m.
Councilmembers present: Mayor Jeff Jacobs, Tim Brausen (arrived at 6:46 p.m.), Gregg
Lindberg, Anne Mavity, Susan Sanger, and Jake Spano.
Councilmembers absent: Steve Hallfin.
Staff present: City Manager (Mr. Harmening), Director of Inspections (Mr. Hoffman), Chief
Information Officer (Mr. Pires), Director of Engineering (Ms. Heiser), Senior Engineering
Project Manager (Mr. Elkin), and Recording Secretary (Ms. Hughes).
Guests: Ms. Dana Nelson (Metropolitan Airports Commission Assistant Manager-Noise,
Environment and Planning), Mr. Chad Leqve (MAC Director of Environment), and Ms. Lisa
Peilen (MAC Representative).
1. Future Study Session Agenda Planning – February 17 and 23, 2015
Mr. Harmening presented the proposed special study session agenda for February 17th and the
proposed study session agenda for February 23rd.
Councilmember Spano requested that Council schedule time to discuss how the City plans to use
the $250,000 gift to Westwood Hills Nature Center.
Mr. Harmening agreed to add this item to a future study session agenda.
2. Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) Noise Report
Mr. Hoffman presented the staff report and introduced Ms. Dana Nelson (Metropolitan Airports
Commission Assistant Manager-Noise, Environment and Planning), Mr. Chad Leqve (MAC
Director of Environment), and Ms. Lisa Peilen (MAC Representative).
Ms. Nelson presented the Edina and St. Louis Park Noise Monitoring Study results and
conclusions and noted that the full report is available at www.macnoise.com. She explained that
the Noise Oversight Committee (NOC) approved the study scope in May 2014 and the study
focused on assessing existing aircraft noise levels in Edina and St. Louis Park for two weeks.
She presented a map depicting the Noise Monitoring Study Area and stated that Site 101 is
located at the Rec Center. She advised that the study was started on August 22, 2014, and
completed on September 4, 2014, and reviewed the arrival and departure operations during the
study period. She discussed partial Area Navigation (RNAV) flight procedures to be
implemented on March 24th that will provide the ability to use satellite navigation on board the
aircraft rather than ground based navigation for landing approach flights over St. Louis Park.
Councilmember Sanger requested further information about RNAV and the difference it might
make as far as noise and concentrating arrivals over St. Louis Park.
City Council Meeting of March 2, 2015 (Item No. 3a) Page 2
Title: Study Session Minutes of February 9, 2015
Ms. Nelson provided a brief explanation about RNAV procedures and stated the biggest change
with implementation of RNAV is going to occur further out from the airport adding she did not
know if St. Louis Park or Minneapolis would notice much of a difference. She reviewed the
Day-Night Average Sound (DNL) levels used to determine noise impact around airports and
advised that the daily DNL level for Site 101 during the study period averaged 54.7 decibels,
which is what they expected for this location and there were no surprises.
Councilmember Mavity stated that the map previously reviewed by Council (indicating full
RNAV implementation) showed a preponderance of flights concentrating south of St. Louis Park
and asked if the map presented this evening is still relevant. She stated it was her understanding
that while the southern edge of the City would be impacted by RNAV, most of St. Louis Park
would continue to see lesser impacts, but that does not appear to be the case based on what has
been presented this evening.
Ms. Nelson explained that significant concerns were raised by residents in Minneapolis and
Edina about departure operations being concentrated over those paths and the MAC took action
not to support those departure procedures and supported the RNAV procedures to the southeast
of the airport because that land area provides more opportunity to focus those aircraft events over
compatible land uses.
Councilmember Lindberg asked if there has been an increase or decrease in arrival events over
St. Louis Park over the past few years.
Ms. Nelson replied they have seen more arrivals.
Council continued its discussion regarding overall noise levels.
3. Fiber and Broadband Update
Mr. Pires presented the staff report and provided an update on the fiber study conducted by CTC
Consulting and reviewed several recent accomplishments and planned projects. He discussed the
36th and Walker Street reconstruction project planned for this summer and stated that staff is
working with engineering to add conduit along the reconstructed area, adding that the City plans
to install conduit on Louisiana Avenue from 32nd down to the area north of Walker Street where
conduit exists and will be adding conduit to the Louisiana Oaks park shelter. He stated the City
has made progress to add capacity as part of the Connect the Park! project with the goal of
collaborating with construction projects and continuing to build the fiber backbone throughout
the City. He advised that staff is interested in meeting with the SPO to talk about what is
planned for the Southwest LRT stations, e.g., security cameras and wi-fi at the stations and/or in
the parking lots. He also discussed the overall fiber strategy and advised that US Internet has
approached the City about its interest in looking for a city to partner with and putting fiber in
every premise in the City over the next three or four years. He stated that in order to distribute
fiber throughout the City, US Internet would need a distribution center and has indicated an
interest in the water tower site located at 34th and Wyoming. He advised that US Internet would
take all the risk associated with this project and US Internet is currently working with their
lenders to secure funds for the project.
City Council Meeting of March 2, 2015 (Item No. 3a) Page 3
Title: Study Session Minutes of February 9, 2015
It was the consensus of the City Council to direct staff to continue working with US Internet on a
fiber-to-the-premise (FTTP) project.
It was also the consensus of the City Council to direct staff to continue to move forward with
development of a fiber ordinance to require or incentivize fiber asset installation for new
construction.
4. Small Cell Antenna Applications
Mr. Elkin presented the staff report and advised that the Engineering Department has recently
been approached by two telecom vendors about installing small cell antennas in the City to
provide additional coverage. He explained that Verizon has requested two small cell antenna
locations in the West End area to be installed on light poles, adding that the antenna and
equipment would be mounted on a pole, which meets the City’s ordinance requirements. He
explained that AT&T has proposed using existing Xcel Energy poles in 14 locations in the
Browndale neighborhood; however, Xcel Energy does not allow equipment to be installed on the
poles so AT&T would need to install the control boxes on the ground and this placement
conflicts with the City’s ordinance requirements. He stated that he has asked AT&T for photos
of the proposed control boxes but has not yet received the photos, adding that staff has concerns
about aesthetics of the control boxes as well as public works concerns and whether there is
sufficient room in the right-of-way for the control boxes.
Ms. Amy Dresch, a consultant from Jacobs Engineering representing Verizon, stated that the
proposed small cell antennas represent a capacity solution and are intended to help offload
capacity at the West End. She stated Verizon is not proposing to have any ground equipment
with the small cell antenna.
It was the consensus of the City Council to direct staff to continue to work with Verizon on the
installation of two small cell antennas in the West End area. It was also the consensus of the
City Council that the City should not change its current ordinance in order to allow small cell
antennas on existing Xcel Energy power poles in the Browndale neighborhood.
Councilmember Spano left the study session at 8:40 p.m.
5. Check-in on Results of City Council Workshop
Mr. Harmening presented the staff report and proposed priorities/goals developed following the
workshop.
Councilmember Mavity felt the proposed priorities/goals were on target but questioned whether
there should be further mention of the importance of local/small businesses.
Councilmember Sanger suggested that the priority/goal about the LRT stations be revised to read
“appropriate, reasonable redevelopment around the three SWLRT stations is maximized to the
fullest extent possible consistent with the City’s zoning requirements.
Councilmember Brausen suggested that the “why is this important” narrative of the priority/goal
related to environmental stewardship be revised to state “because it’s the right thing and smart
thing and necessary thing to do.”

Communications/Meeting Check-In (Verbal)
Mr. Harmening advised that he discussed the proposed job description for the Environment and
Sustainability Coordinator with the Environment & Sustainability Commission last week and
Commission members will provide their comments to him relative to the job description by
Wednesday. He stated the Environment & Sustainability Commission plans to meet with
Council during the first quarter to present their annual report and 2015 work plan, adding that
one of the Commission’s 2015 priorities includes having a community conversation about the
environment and what it means to be “sustainable SLP.”
Councilmember Sanger stated that the coyote population appears to be more active again and
urged the City to send reminders to residents about protecting their pets.
Mr. Harmening reported the Health in the Park community forum on mental health that was held
yesterday was a great success with approximately 300 people in attendance. He stated the
community members who put the forum together did a great job and there will likely be some
follow-up conversations.
Mr. Harmening stated the City has started posting stickers around the community identifying
various locations for wi-fi hotspots.

ST. LOUIS PARK, MINNESOTA
FEBRUARY 17, 2015
The meeting convened at 7:00 p.m.
Councilmembers present: Mayor Jeff Jacobs, Tim Brausen, Steve Hallfin, Gregg Lindberg,
Susan Sanger, and Jake Spano.
Councilmembers absent: Anne Mavity.
Staff present: City Manager (Mr. Harmening), City Attorney (Mr. Scott), Chief of Police (Mr.
Luse), Deputy Chief of Police (Mr. DiLorenzo), Chief Information Officer (Mr. Pires), and
Recording Secretary (Ms. Hughes).
1. Police Body Camera Trial Project
Mr. Luse presented the staff report and discussed the perceived benefits of body cameras,
including accountability and transparency, as well as issues related to data retention. He advised
there is no pushback from the Police Department regarding the use of body cameras and the
primary concern at this time relates to records retention and the costs associated with data
retention and public data requests.
Mayor Jacobs stated he was in favor of using police body cameras on a trial basis.
Councilmember Sanger stated she was willing to do a pilot project and asked if the Police
Department has a policy statement regarding when the body cameras are turned on and off. She
also asked if the Police Department has a draft privacy policy.
Mr. Luse stated that the City of Burnsville has a policy in place and this policy was used as a
model to provide guidance to the City during the trial period.
Mr. Scott agreed to provide Council with a copy of the draft policy and stated the document is
intended to be in place during the trial period, adding that if the City determines that body
cameras will be used beyond the trial period, the policy will need to be further reviewed.
Councilmember Sanger asked if the City has a plan for capturing the costs involved in the use of
body cameras so that Council can make an assessment regarding costs associated with data
retention as well as staff time.
Mr. Harmening indicated that staff would track any costs during the trial period, including
capital costs and staff time.
Councilmember Lindberg asked if the City currently has sufficient staff to respond to any good
faith data requests.
Mr. Luse replied that sufficient staff exists during the trial period but not beyond the trial period.
He stated that when someone submits a data request, the Police Department will work with the
City Council Meeting of February 17, 2015 (Item No. 3b) Page 2
Title: Special Study Session Minutes of February 17, 2015
City Attorney to respond to the request, adding that the Police Department will follow its policy
and the law as written today.
Councilmember Brausen stated his preference that the Police Department not use body cameras
because of the data retention issues and significant resources required. He felt that the Police
Department was doing a great job and no complaints about officer conduct are being received.
Councilmember Spano stated he would like to proceed with the trial project. He agreed that the
data retention and data request issues could become onerous and if that is the case, the Police
Department could decide to step back from the use of body cameras because it is too expensive.
Councilmember Sanger asked about criteria for evaluating whether the trial project was
successful and stated she would like an overall assessment on whether collecting the video has
been useful to the City in terms of prosecuting crime.
It was the consensus of the majority of the City Council to proceed with the police body camera
trial project.
Mr. Luse indicated that staff would come back to Council after the trial period to discuss the
results and whether to continue use of police body cameras.
Mayor Jacobs adjourned the meeting at 7:23 p.m.

6. Public Hearings
6a. Public Hearing to Consider Allocation of 2015 Community Development
Block Grant (CDBG) Funds. Resolution No. 15-022.
Ms. Olson presented the staff report and explained that each year the City receives
federal (HUD) funds distributed through Hennepin County and the 2015 funding levels
are expected to remain close to the 2014 levels and these figures were used for planning
purposes until the 2015 allocation is finalized. She stated the City will receive $199,308
in 2015 and the proposed use of the 2015 CDBG funds reflects the City’s priorities to
preserve existing housing and increase ownership opportunities. She stated that the 2015
proposed allocations are $50,000 for the low income single family emergency repair
program, $60,000 for the low income single family home rehab loan program, $20,000 to
Homes within Reach, $10,808 to the St. Louis Park Housing Authority for rehab of
scattered home sites, $21,000 to Wayside Supportive Housing improvements, $30,000 to
Perspectives, Inc., and $7,500 for youth park programming at Meadowbrook Park.
Mayor Jacobs opened the public hearing.
Mr. Bill O’Mara, Community Action Partnership, thanked the City for its ongoing
support and stated it has been an honor working with the City.
Ms. Karina Forrest-Perkins, Wayside House, thanked the City for its longstanding
support and stated the City has been a source of consistent support for the women at
Wayside House and gives them a chance to live a rewarding life and stop the cycle of
poverty.
Mayor Jacobs closed the public hearing.
Councilmember Brausen supported the proposed 2015 allocation and commended staff
for taking a small amount of money and spreading it among a variety of programs that
have a positive impact. He urged Council to consider contributing City funds in the
future to the low income single family repair program and single family home rehab
program and felt it was important to assist these residents and preserve the City’s existing
housing stock.
It was moved by Councilmember Brausen, seconded by Councilmember Lindberg, to
adopt Resolution No. 15-022 Approving Proposed Use of 2015 Urban Hennepin County
Community Development Block Grant Program Funds and Authorizing Execution of
Subrecipient Agreement with Hennepin County and any Third Party Agreements.
The motion passed 6-0 (Councilmember Mavity absent).
7. Requests, Petitions, and Communications from the Public – None
8. Resolutions, Ordinances, Motions and Discussion Items
8a. Comcast Franchise Transfer Approval. Resolution No. 15-023.
Mr. Dunlap presented the staff report and introduced Mr. Brian Grogan from Moss &
Barnett.
City Council Meeting of March 2, 2015 (Item No. 3c) Page 4
Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of February 17, 2015
Mr. Grogan provided historical background regarding the pending merger of Comcast
and Time Warner Cable and explained that Comcast has agreed to divest itself of
approximately 4 million customers as part of the merger, with 1.4 million customers
being purchased by Charter Communications and 2.5 million customers purchased by
Midwest Cable, a new entity that will be renamed GreatLand Connections following the
closing. He stated Midwest Cable will be a separate publicly traded company with a
separate board of directors and will be 1/3 owned by Charter Communications and 2/3
owned by Comcast subscribers. He explained that all field and technical operations will
be owned and operated by Midwest Cable following the merger and many of the
operational services and customer service will be provided by Charter pursuant to an
agreement whereby Midwest Cable will pay Charter 4.25% of all voice, video and data
revenues as well as actual costs incurred. Charter will provide all programming services
under the “Spectrum” suite of services. He stated that St. Louis Park residents who are
currently Comcast “Triple Play” customers will be able to keep their telephone number
and their Comcast Xfinity equipment, however, if Comcast customers have a
Comcast.net email, their email will change to a Charter.com domain. He advised that
Comcast has indicated it will provide adequate advance notice and a continuation of the
Comcast.net domain for a period of months after the transition. He discussed the
financial review conducted by the City’s consultant and stated that the financial report
prepared for the City lays out a number of concerns as well as positive outcomes. He
presented an updated resolution for Council consideration and advised that Comcast and
Midwest Cable have agreed to the conditions, including Midwest Cable’s assumption of
all Comcast obligations, known and unknown, and an agreement by Midwest Cable to
provide the City with a corporate guarantee for the operating entity related to its financial
abilities. He stated there will also be a separate guarantee indicating that rates will not
increase as a result of the costs of the transaction; however, that does not guarantee that
programming rates will not increase if programming costs go up. He advised that
Midwest Cable is committed to meet quarterly with City staff for two years following the
close of the transaction to address customer service issues and Midwest Cable agreed to
maintain an “escalated complaint program” to help subscribers. He stated that Midwest
Cable will pay the City $8,000 to settle underpaid franchise fees and will maintain free
cable to schools and public buildings; in addition, Midwest Cable agreed to reimburse all
of the City’s costs for outside legal and financial consultants.
Mr. Pires stated that customer service has always been a top priority and City staff will
work hard with residents on the changes.
Councilmember Sanger stated she would support this because she did not think the City
had any choice. She stated it was a rocky transition when Comcast took over from Time
Warner, and she received so many complaints about poor service that she wrote a letter to
the Comcast CEO. It doesn’t give hope for a smooth transition this time, but she hopes
that the Federal Government would manage the process in a way that minimizes the pain
for residents. She said that she was concerned that the costs would go up for customers
and the service would go down.
Councilmember Spano asked if the City was able to negotiate any compensation to the
City for all the staff time that will be spent on this transfer.
City Council Meeting of March 2, 2015 (Item No. 3c) Page 5
Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of February 17, 2015
Mr. Grogan replied that additional compensation for staff time was not negotiated and
pointed out that obtaining additional funds to offset administrative expenses would have
created problems under the terms of the existing franchise.
Councilmember Lindberg said that he didn’t see any benefit to residents in the
transaction and that he didn’t think we had much choice, but he appreciated staff’s efforts
and particularly all the work that has gone into protecting residents.
It was moved by Councilmember Brausen, seconded by Councilmember Spano, to adopt
Resolution No. 15-023 Approving the Transfer of the Cable Franchise and Change of
Control of the Grantee.
The motion passed 6-0 (Councilmember Mavity absent).
8b. Consideration of Application for Zoning Text Amendments Relating to
Outside Storage. Resolution No. 15-024.
Mr. Morrison presented the staff report and provided background information regarding
the property and surrounding area. He stated that the Planning Commission received Mr.
Bell’s requested zoning text amendments and tabled consideration so that staff could
meet with the applicant and review the conditions. He advised that staff met with the
applicant and made further recommendations, which were accepted by the applicant, and
the matter was brought back to the Planning Commission on January 21, 2015, at which
time the Planning Commission recommended denial of all of the requested text
amendments. He reviewed the proposed zoning text amendments and advised that staff
disagrees with the legally non-conforming interpretation provided by the applicant. He
stated that Tim’s Tree Service is operating illegally and any change of the Code cannot
make that use a legal non-conforming use. He stated that throughout this process, the
City Attorney has reviewed the Code and has confirmed staff’s findings that the language
in the City Code is clear and does not require clarification. He discussed the goals of the
Comprehensive Plan related to General Industrial and Industrial Park properties and the
various uses allowed as well as the primary differences between the two zoning districts.
He also discussed the definition of “principal use” and “accessory use” that indicates
outdoor storage cannot occupy an area on the property that exceeds 25% of the floor area
of the building also occupying the property. He presented an aerial photograph of the
property and described the uses of the surrounding area and Mr. Bell’s property. He also
described the nonconforming uses in the district and stated that any change to the City
Code would be applied to all Industrial Park properties in the City. He stated that a
significant amount of work went into the 1989 and 1991 studies and focused on
mitigating impacts to surrounding properties, adding that the result of the 1991 study was
to rezone the Florida/Edgewood Avenue industrial area to the existing lighter industrial
zoning district.
Mr. James Smith, attorney for Mr. Martin Bell, stated the vacant lots across the street are
used for employee parking or storage of vehicles or equipment used in coordination with
the building’s office and warehouse facilities. He stated Mr. Bell used to run a wholesale
liquor operation out of the building where Tim’s Tree Service is now and that is where
the liquor trucks would sit overnight and for 20 years, Mr. Bell was operating illegally
under the City’s interpretation. He referred to the October 6, 2014, City Council minutes
and a comment that there has to be a better way than forcing Tim’s to leave and forcing
City Council Meeting of March 2, 2015 (Item No. 3c) Page 6
Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of February 17, 2015
Mr. Bell to have issues with tenancy when he has a tenant contributing to the community
and not being a nuisance. He also referenced a question by Councilmember Mavity
about whether any use of this property could constitute a legal use. He stated there was
no principal use that Tim’s Tree Service is operating under and the default has to be that
it is outdoor storage, however the Code does allow for a principal use to be a parking lot
but apparently the parking lot does not include parking on that property at night. He
stated they feel there has to be a better way than saying parking at night is somehow such
a detriment that it should be outlawed. He stated there has been some reference to the
previous studies and noted there are six vacant lots in the Industrial Park zoning district
affected by the requested text amendment, three of which are owned by Mr. Bell and they
do not think there will be problems with a significant amount of outdoor storage if the
text amendment is approved. He stated they believe that Tim’s Tree Service is not a
nuisance and has been operating since November 2013 with no complaints, adding there
are protections built into the requested text amendment to handle City staff concerns.
Councilmember Hallfin requested further information about the history of the studies and
the reason the studies were conducted.
Mr. Morrison provided historical background regarding the studies that resulted in the
area being rezoned from a heavy industrial district to a light industrial district. He stated
that industrial properties in this area have invested in their properties and are looking to
protect that investment with an industrial park setting where employees can work with
reasonable quiet and where no vehicles are being worked on outside and no materials are
being moved around outside. He stated that the City has received complaints about
erosion resulting from the materials being hauled by Tim’s Tree Service and the amount
of traffic and noise generated by the bus company. He stated that the area is subject to
flooding, and much of that water goes into the buildings on the adjacent property. It was
alleged in the complaint that the materials brought in by Tim’s Tree Service displace the
water into the adjacent properties, causing erosion and potentially more flooding.
Councilmember Lindberg asked if Mr. Bell has responded to the concerns about erosion.
Mr. Morrison replied that Tim’s Tree Service has addressed the concerns to some degree
but will have to wait until spring to finish the repairs.
It was moved by Councilmember Sanger, seconded by Councilmember Lindberg, to adopt
Resolution No. 15-024 Denying Application for Zoning Text Amendments.
The motion passed 6-0 (Councilmember Mavity absen
8c. Comprehensive Plan Amendments Related to Planned Unit Developments.
Resolution No. 15-025.
Mr. Walther presented the staff report and explained that the changes to the PUD
Ordinance provide Council with additional discretion when approving PUDs, including
additional flexibility related to density, and the proposed amendments to the
Comprehensive Plan are consistent with the recently approved PUD Ordinance and
remove density limitations in the High Density Residential, Commercial, Mixed Use, and
Office land use categories and would allow additional flexibility to allow a higher density
with a PUD.
City Council Meeting of March 2, 2015 (Item No. 3c) Page 7
Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of February 17, 2015
It was moved by Councilmember Brausen, seconded by Councilmember Hallfin, to adopt
Resolution No. 15-025 Approving Amendments to the 2030 Comprehensive Plan for the
City of St. Louis Park under Minnesota Statutes 462.351 to 462.364.
The motion passed 6-0 (Councilmember Mavity absent).
8d. Bid Tabulation – Water Meter Replacement – Project #50150001
Mr. Swanson presented the staff report and advised that TKDA analyzed the bids on a
25-year life cycle and determined that Ferguson Waterworks was the lowest cost
responsible life cycle bidder. He stated that the City’s utility rates have been analyzed
and rate adjustments have been factored into the Utility Funds to finance the project.
Councilmember Lindberg asked if the bid reflects the City’s estimated cost for this
project. He also asked if the City received feedback from other cities about Ferguson
Waterworks and asked if background checks are done on Ferguson employees.
Mr. Swanson replied that the City’s estimated cost of the project was $3.6 million. He
advised that the City of Maple Grove spoke highly of Ferguson Waterworks. He also
confirmed that Ferguson Waterworks conducts background checks on its employees.
Councilmember Sanger requested clarification about the bid process and the total
package bid that was $200,000 cheaper than the Ferguson Waterworks bid.
Mr. Swanson acknowledged that the lowest bidder was $200,000 less but the City
focused on a 25-year life cycle because the meters will need to be replaced at 14 years.
He advised that City staff spoke extensively with the City Attorney to make sure the City
could award the bid based on a 25 year low cost life cycle, adding that the City has been
forthright with all the vendors in stating that the City wanted the lowest life cycle bidder
versus lowest responsible bidder and the City followed all bidding requirements.
It was moved by Councilmember Brausen, seconded by Councilmember Spano, to
designate Ferguson Waterworks as the lowest cost responsible life cycle bidder and to
authorize the execution of a contract with the vendor in the amount of $3,423,102.70 for
Water Meter Replacement – Project #50150001.
The motion passed 6-0 (Councilmember Mavity absent).
9. Communications
Mayor Jacobs reminded residents about the home remodeling fair on Sunday, February
22nd, from 10:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. at the Eisenhower Community Center.
10. Adjournment
Mayor Jacobs adjourned the meeting at 9:17 p.m.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Liquor License Premises Amendment for Steel Toe Brewing
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to approve premises amendment to the on-sale brewer’s
taproom and off-sale brewer malt liquor licenses for Steel Toe Brewing, LLC, located at 4848
35th Street West.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does the Council wish to approve the premises amendment to
the current liquor licenses at Steel Toe Brewing?
SUMMARY: Steel Toe Brewing, located at 4848 35th Street West, has made application for an
amendment to expand the size of their building space. Steel Toe Brewing has been operating as
a small craft brewery since 2011. The current premise is licensed for on-sale brewer’s Taproom
and off-sale brewer malt liquor (growlers) liquor licenses. Jason Schoneman is the on-site
manager for Steel Toe Brewing and has entered into an agreement with landlord Belt Line Three,
LLC for leasing the additional 6,191 square feet building space adjacent to the current premises
and designated as Suite 4850. The Taproom inside area will consist of 2,189 sq. ft. and the
outdoor patio of 768 sq. ft. will be moving to the west side of the building.
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 Council approves the premises amendment to Steel Toe Brewing Taproom liquor license, no
liquor will actually be served in the amended premises new area until all required compliance is
met with City Inspections Department, including fees due for additional sewer availability
charges (SAC) yet to be determined by the Metropolitan Council.

Title: Liquor License Premises Amendment for Steel Toe Brewing
DISCUSSION
BACKGROUND: Steel Toe Brewing has been operating as a small craft brewery at 4848 West
35th Street in St. Louis Park since July 2011, and included a Brewer Taproom in November 2012
with up to 72 parking spaces available. Since they have outgrown their current Taproom space,
they are increasing their size by leasing space next door. There have been no liquor violations at
this establishment. Attached to this report are floor plans of the existing space and the proposed
additional space.
In 2012 Council adopted Ordinance 2417-12 allowing a Brewer Taproom license classification.
The ordinance allows a Brewer Taproom License to a licensed brewer who brews up to 3,500
barrels of malt liquor per year subject to the following conditions:
1. The malt liquor sold on sale for consumption must be produced by the brewer on the
licensed premises.
2. No other beverages containing alcohol may be sold or consumed on the licensed premises.
3. A brewer may only have one taproom license.
4. Taproom hours include Mon.-Thurs. 3:00 – 8:00 p.m., Friday 3:00 – 10:00 p.m., Saturday
11:00 am – 10:00 pm, Sunday 11:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m., and federally recognized holidays
11:00 am – 10:00 p.m.
5. A restaurant is not allowed at a brewery with a taproom license.
The current licensed premise requires an amendment to include the expanded area. The total
space of the entire building is increasing from 6,127 sq. ft. to 12,318 sq. ft. which will include
more storage area and a larger Taproom as shown in the chart below.

ZONING: On May 5, 2014 Council adopted Ordinance No. 2453-14 that changed the zoning of
the Steel Toe property from Industrial Park to Business Park allowing outdoor seating areas with
the following conditions:
a. The use must be separated from any adjacent residential use by a building wall or six foot
fence. This provision will not apply if the residential use is located on an upper story above
the principal use.
b. No speakers or other electronic devices which emit sound are permitted if the use is located
within 500 feet of a residential use.
c. The hours of operation shall be limited to 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. if the use is located within
500 feet of a residential use.
d. Additional parking is not required if the outdoor seating area does not exceed 500 square feet
or ten percent of the gross floor area of the principal use, whichever is less. Parking will be
required at the same rate as the principal use for that portion of outdoor seating area in excess
of 500 square feet or ten percent of the gross building area, whichever is less.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Special Assessment – Water Service Line Repair at 3154 Hillsboro Avenue South
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to Adopt Resolution authorizing the special assessment
for the repair of the water service line at 3154 Hillsboro Avenue South, St. Louis Park,
MN - P.I.D. 18-117-21-22-0003.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: The proposed action is consistent with policy previously
established by the City Council.
SUMMARY: Erik Rosvold, owner of the single family residence at 3154 Hillsboro Avenue
South, has requested the City to authorize the repair of the water service line for his home and
assess the cost against the property in accordance with the City’s special assessment policy.
This is a 2015 repair that was made between the home and the curb box and is not impacted by the
City’s new waterline ownership policy. Homeowners are still responsible for water line repairs that
occur between their home and the curb box located in the right of way.
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 water 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 water service line
repair and special assess the cost of the repair. The total eligible cost of the repair has been determined
to be $2,485.00.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: The City has funds in place to finance the
cost of this special assessment.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to Adopt Resolution to approve St. Louis Park Lions
Club’s request for placing temporary signs in the public right-of-way.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: None.
SUMMARY: The St. Louis Park Lions Club has requested to install temporary signs in the

sign on or over the public right-of-way for a period not to exceed ten days.”
The Lions Club is a non-profit community based organization that provides services and
resources to the people of St. Louis Park. The requested signs advertise the Lions Club’s 58th
Annual Pancake and Sausage Breakfast to be held on Sunday, March 29, 2015. This activity is a
fund raiser for services and resources provided to the residents of St. Louis Park. The request is
to install 20 sandwich board style signs as early as March 21, 2015; these will be removed on the
day of the event. Up to 28 smaller signs will be installed at local places of worship on the day of
the event.

TITLE: Final Payment Resolution - Contract 75-11 – Dale Tile Company - Project Nos. 2008-
3001 & 2008-3002
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to Adopt Resolution authorizing final payment in the
amount of $35,080.00 and accepting work for Fire Stations No. 1 and No. 2 Work Scope 14
(Tile) for Project Nos. 2008-3001 and 2008-3002, City Contract No. 75-11.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: None.
SUMMARY: Bids were received on March 31, 2011 for Two New Fire Stations – Project Nos.
2008-3001 and 2008-3002. The projects included construction of Fire Station No. 1 at 3750
Wooddale Avenue and Fire Station No. 2 at 2262 Louisiana Avenue.
The City used an agency construction manager (CM) delivery method for both fire stations,
rather than a general contractor (GM). With this approach, the City is the owner and general
contractor for the project. The construction manager acts as the city’s advisor and representative
throughout planning, design and construction of the stations. There were 31 contracts related to
the construction of the two stations. Of the 31 contracts, twenty-nine have been been closed.
Only one contract will remain following this final payment.
City Council awarded the contract for Work Scope 14 (Tile) for Fire Stations No. 1 and No. 2 to
Dale Tile Company on April 11, 2011, in the amount of $149,700.00. The contractor completed
this work at a final contract cost of $169,695.00. The $19,995.00 difference was due to owner
directed changes at both stations.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: The Fire Stations Project was programmed
in the Capital Improvement Program for construction in 2011/12 at a total projected cost of
$15,500,000. The final project costs are expected to be approximately $15,100,000.
$12.5 million of this project cost will be paid from bond proceeds issued in December 2010. The
remaining portion will be paid from the Fire portion of the Police and Fire Pension Fund.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Accept Donation from Minnesota Society of Arboriculture
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to Adopt Resolution approving acceptance of a
monetary donation from the Minnesota Society of Arboriculture in an amount not to exceed
$2,200 for all related expenses, for Jim Vaughan, Environmental Coordinator, to attend the 2015
International Society of Arboriculture Conference in Orlando, Florida.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does the City Council wish to accept the gift with restrictions
on its use?
SUMMARY: State statute requires City Council’s acceptance of donations. This requirement is
necessary in order to make sure the City Council has knowledge of any restrictions placed on the
use of each donation prior to it being expended.
The City of St. Louis Park’s Environmental Coordinator, Jim Vaughan, will represent the
Minnesota Society of Arboriculture (MSA) as their International Society of Arboriculture (ISA)
Council Representative at the 2015 Arboriculture Conference in Orlando, Florida, August 8 –12,
2015. This conference is an annual international conference for arborists covering many aspects
in the science, technology, management and practice of urban tree care. The Minnesota Society
of Arboriculture elected Mr. Vaughan as their representative to the ISA. The ISA requires each
chapter representative (i.e. Mr. Vaughan) attend each annual ISA conference. As a result of Mr.
Vaughan’s election/appointment, the Minnesota Society of Arboriculture has offered to pay all
related conference expenses in an amount not to exceed $2,200.
The City Attorney has reviewed this matter. His opinion is that state law permits the payment of
such expenses by this organization, regardless of whether the funds come from primary or
secondary sources. It is treated as a gift to the city and there needs to be a resolution adopted by
the City Council determining that attendance at this event serves a public purpose and accepting
the gift. The resolution needs to be adopted before attendance at the conference. The City of St.
Louis Park will pay for travel, the conference and hotel accommodations up front and submit
receipts to MSA for reimbursement.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: This donation will be used toward the
expenses incurred by Jim Vaughan’s attendance to the International Society of Arboriculture
conference in Orlando, Florida.
VISION CONSIDERATION: St. Louis Park is committed to being a leader in environmental
stewardship. We will increase environmental consciousness and responsibility in all areas of city
business.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Bassett Creek Watershed Management Commission Appointments
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to Adopt Resolution appointing Patrick Noon as
Alternate Commissioner, and Erick Francis as the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC)
member to the Basset Creek Watershed Management Commission (BCWMC) to serve terms
expiring on January 31, 2017.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does Council wish to appoint the commissioners as
recommended?
BACKGROUND: The City of St. Louis Park is partially located in the Bassett Creek
Watershed. The BCWMC was established by a Joint Powers Agreement authorized under
Minnesota State Statues to oversee and coordinate the management of surface water between the
nine member cities, which include Crystal, Golden Valley, Medicine Lake, Minneapolis,
Minnetonka, New Hope, Plymouth, Robbinsdale and St. Louis Park. Their mission is to control
flooding and to maintain and enhance the quality of the surface and ground water resources in
the watershed.
Each member city is entitled to appoint one Commissioner, one Alternate Commissioner, and
one member to the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) of the BCWMC. The Basset Creek
Watershed Management Commission requires committee appointments to be approved by
Resolution. Jim de Lambert currently serves as the commissioner representing St. Louis Park.
Erick Francis is the Water Resources Manager for St. Louis Park. If appointed, he will be
replacing Phillip Elkin, Senior Engineering Project Manager who served as the previous advisor
on the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) of the BCWMC. The TAC members participate
and provide input on issues before the Commission, but do not have voting privileges.
Patrick Noon was interviewed and appointed as Alternate Commissioner by Council at the
February 17, 2015 council meeting. He will be filling the vacancy for Justin Riss who served
since 2009 and resigned in 2014.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: Each member city is required to contribute
each year to the BCWMC general fund. The City’s assessment of costs associated with the
BCWMC was $18,792 for 2014 and $19,184 for 2015.
VISION CONSIDERATION: St. Louis Park is committed to being a leader in environmental
stewardship.

TITLE: Resolution in Support of Dedicated State Funding For City Streets
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to Adopt Resolution Supporting Dedicated State
Funding for City Streets.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: The recommended action is consistent with the City Councils
legislative agenda for 2015.
SUMMARY: On February 19, 2015, the League of Minnesota Cities’ Board of Directors
passed a resolution demonstrating support for new dedicated state funding for city streets. The
resolution supports “an omnibus transportation funding bill that provides additional dedicated
state funding for city streets including funding that can be used for non-MSA (municipal state
aid) city street maintenance, construction and reconstruction.” The League of Minnesota Cities
has urged cities to adopt a similar resolution and send it on to the state legislature.
Throughout the 2014 campaign season, and more recently in the news media, Gov. Dayton and
legislative leaders made statements indicating that passage of a substantial transportation funding
bill is a priority for the 2015 legislative session. The League has been an active member of the
Minnesota Transportation Alliance and other transportation stakeholder groups. Every legislative
session, the League has provided testimony at the Legislature in support of increasing
transportation investments.
Unfortunately, this support has not helped secure more discretionary transportation funds for
cities and, despite intense efforts over the last two decades on the part of the League and city
officials, the Legislature has not passed the street improvement district enabling legislation
requested by cities. The counties have secured additional wheelage tax authority as well as local
option sales taxes for transportation. The Legislature has increased the gas tax and other
revenues distributed by a constitutional formula through the Highway User Tax Distribution
Fund (HUTDF), but those revenues provide funds to Municipal State Aid (MSA) roads.
The City of St. Louis Park is responsible for 149 miles of streets. A little over 25% or 32 miles
of the City’s streets are MSA roads. The maintenance costs for the remaining 118 miles of
streets is paid for using franchise fees, property taxes, and assessments. Further, when state and
county highway investments occur, cities have the added burden of cost participation, which
diverts dollars from city streets. Additional resources will mean better roads for now and into
the future.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: None at this time.
VISION CONSIDERATION: St. Louis Park is committed to being a connected and engaged
community.

Title: Resolution in Support of Dedicated State Funding For City Streets
RESOLUTION NO. 15-____
RESOLUTION SUPPORTING DEDICATED
STATE FUNDING FOR CITY STREETS
WHEREAS, Minnesota contains over 141,000 miles of roadway, and over 19,000
miles—or 13 percent--are owned and maintained by Minnesota’s 852 cities; and
WHEREAS, over 80 percent of municipal streets are ineligible for dedicated Highway
User Tax Distribution Fund dollars; and
WHEREAS, the more than 700 Minnesota cities with populations below 5,000 are
ineligible for dedicated Highway User Tax Distribution Fund dollars; and
WHEREAS, city streets are a separate but integral piece of the network of roads
supporting movement of people and goods; and
WHEREAS, existing funding mechanisms, such as Municipal State Aid (MSA),
property taxes and special assessments, have limited applications, leaving cities under-equipped
to address growing needs; and
WHEREAS, city cost participation in state and county highway projects diverts
resources from city-owned streets; and
WHEREAS, maintenance costs increase as road systems age, and no city--large or
small—is spending enough on roadway capital improvements to maintain a 50-year lifecycle;
and
WHEREAS, for every one dollar spent on maintenance, a road authority--and therefore
taxpayers--save seven dollars in repairs; and
WHEREAS, cities need greater resources, including an additional dedicated state
funding source for transportation, and flexible policies in order to meet growing demands for
street improvements and maintenance.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY OF ST. LOUIS PARK
that the City of St. Louis Park supports an omnibus transportation funding bill that provides
additional dedicated state funding for city streets including funding that can be used for non-
MSA city street maintenance, construction and reconstruction.

OFFICIAL MINUTES
ST. LOUIS PARK TELECOMMUNICATIONS ADVISORY COMMISSION
MEETING OF December 9, 2014
ST. LOUIS PARK COUNCIL CHAMBERS
MEMBERS PRESENT: Bruce Browning, Dale Hartman, Cindy Hoffman, Toby Keeler,
Rolf Peterson, Andrew Reinhardt, and Bill Theobald
MEMBERS ABSENT:
STAFF PRESENT: Reg Dunlap, Civic TV Coordinator;
1. Call to Order
Chair Hoffman called the meeting to order at 7:00 PM.
2. Roll Call
Present at roll call were Commissioners
Browning, Hartman, Hoffman, Keeler, Peterson, Reinhardt and Theobald.
3. Approval of Minutes for October 14, 2014
It was moved by Commissioner Browning, seconded by Commissioner Hartman, to
approve the minutes of October 14, 2014, without changes. The motion passed 7-0.
4. Adoption of Agenda
Commissioner Theobald and Chair Hoffman noted several corrections, that Items 6, E
should be 2014 and F and G should be 2015.
It was moved by Commissioner Theobald, seconded by Commissioner Browning, to
approve the agenda as amended. The motion passed 7-0.
5. Public Comment - None
6. Reports and Discussion
A. Comcast presentation on new cable rates and/or changes in the channel line up
Mr. Dunlap said Comcast would not attend this evening but does plan to have a
representative at the Study Session next Monday when the contract City Attorney would
make a presentation. The City has regulatory authority over basic cable rates, which did
not change. Video equipment prices didn’t change. The City has no authority over
channels being moved from one tier to another, and other Comcast video services are
deregulated. The Minnesota Public Utilities Commissioner regulates telephone service,
and high-speed Internet is not subject to price regulation. Price adjustments will be
effective January 1, 2015. Digital economy video increases $2/month. Digital Starter and
preferred video service increases $3.50/month. Digital premier video service increases
$6/month and Internet $2/month. Cable modem rental increases $2/month as well as
City Council Meeting of March 2, 2015 (Item No. 4k) Page 2
Title: Telecommunications Advisory Commission Meeting Minutes of December 9, 2014
Triple play packages increasing by $5/month. Latino packages increase $5/month.
Service protection plan is increasing $1/month. They are downgrading to no charge with
no in-home visit, formerly $2.99. Because of the 30-day notice period, customers can
downgrade services at no charge throughout December. When all prices are documented
from Comcast, he will put an all-inclusive price list on the city’s web site.
Commissioner Browning asked how this compared with last year. Mr. Dunlap replied it
was very similar. Cable modems went up $2 last year as well and customer can purchase
their own modems as long as they are compatible. He recommended renting a modem if
someone had telephone service or making sure it was compatible.
Commissioner Browning said he purchased his own modem for internet access when it
was $7 per month, so it makes sense to purchase a modem. He asked about the services
that were no longer available and if it was the entire list provided? Mr. Dunlap replied
yes, a new customer couldn’t ask for any of those services. Current customers were
grandfathered.
B. Comcast customer service update
Mr. Dunlap stated that the complaints for the year were compiled and were similar to last
year. Complaint calls were 50 in 2010, 49 in 2011, 61 in 2012, 102 in 2013 and 96 so far
in 2014. The last two years were significantly higher. Callers main concerns were hold
times, billing complaints and telephone customer service.
Commissioner Browning asked if this was representing the calls coming into the City.
Mr. Dunlap replied yes, so these are a fraction of the calls that the Comcast call center
receives. They get approximately 20,000/quarter and a tremendous call load. The calls
the City receives are a drop in the bucket.
Commissioner Browning suggested Comcast look at this in greater detail, especially with
change in ownership coming up. Can it be tied to part of the transfer? Customer service
has always been an underlying current. There is no competition because there is no one
else in the market. Can we suggest it needs to improve or have a discussion about that?
Mr. Dunlap replied this is an advisory Commission for the City Council. They can direct
staff to request call center reports be tallied for St. Louis Park and be provided in a
reasonable time, possibly on a quarterly basis. Other franchise authorities receive call
center reports. As they address the transfer, it could be included as a condition.
Commissioner Browning felt they had very little control over Comcast activities, but this
was something they had some control of. He would like to get a better handle on call
numbers.
Chair Hoffman noted from 2003 to 2013 the complaint calls had almost doubled. What
happens if people call Comcast, do they get routed to the City? Mr. Dunlap said these are
calls to the City for unresolved complaints. The number is listed on the bills. Usually
customers have had bad results with Comcast and that is when they call the City.
City Council Meeting of March 2, 2015 (Item No. 4k) Page 3
Title: Telecommunications Advisory Commission Meeting Minutes of December 9, 2014
Commissioner Keeler asked if calls that are referred to Comcast for customer service are
counted? Mr. Dunlap said no.
Commissioner Reinhardt asked if it was required to have the City number on the bill?
Where else could citizens get the idea to call the City about Comcast? Mr. Dunlap
replied they use the website to publicize their office and one of the services they provide
is taking cable complaints. City publications have information and they also do some
outreach. It is also a part of the reason these meetings are cablecast.
Commissioner Hartman said some of the calls are Comcast’s own problem that could be
avoided if Comcast would explain what’s going on. Commissioner Browning said we
sometimes hear Comcast say that customer service is getting better, but we don’t have
evidence of that. So let’s find out why.
It was moved by Commissioner Browning, seconded by Commissioner Peterson, to direct
City staff to request Comcast tally phone calls specific to St. Louis Park and have
Comcast staff attend the Telecommunications meeting to address their concerns. The
motion passed 7-0.
C. Franchise fee audit report
Mr. Dunlap noted there was no final report at this point. A draft report had been sent to
the City Attorney by Dick Treich of Front Range, the audit firm, and was also sent to
Comcast, giving them a chance to comment or correct. The auditor found an under
reporting for high definition packages that included the $10 HD technology fee, in the
range of $10,000-13,000 owed to the City. The City Attorney gave his recommendation,
which Mr. Dunlap discussed with Commissioners Keeler and Browning, along with the
Comcast offer. Comcast offered to pay $6,500 and possibly a bit higher, but not up to
$10,000, and wants to tie it to the transfer issue as it is addressed by the City Council.
This happened with last transfer in 2006, where the audit settlement was rolled in to the
transfer agreement. There’s no need for Commissioner action on the audit, and the City
Manager will make a recommendation to the City Council for action on this.
D. Complaints
Commissioner Browning asked about the person with the business issue and if it had
been resolved? Mr. Dunlap replied yes, a waiver of early termination fee was going to be
applied.
Commissioner Browning said most complaints revolved around cost with a couple of
exceptions.
Commissioner Reinhardt asked if Comcast does preemptive calling for complaints. His
rates went up dramatically recently and he called, but had to hang up before speaking to
anyone. Someone from Comcast called back and worked with him on the packages
available to provide a reduction in his rates, so they must have looked his information up.
Mr. Dunlap hadn’t heard of that happening, but he had heard about customers calling and
getting reduced rates by getting the triple play packages.
City Council Meeting of March 2, 2015 (Item No. 4k) Page 4
Title: Telecommunications Advisory Commission Meeting Minutes of December 9, 2014
Chair Hoffman said that Kate Hensing from Comcast said at a previous meeting that
Comcast offers a call back option. Commissioner Browning asked how the call back
option worked. Commissioner Hartman said it was an option when you were on hold, to
continue to wait or Comcast will call you back.
E. Draft Annual Report for 2014
Mr. Dunlap completed summaries of the activities and actions for the year. Please review
and get suggestions back to him and then it will be sent to City Council.
F. Set meetings for 2015
The following are meeting dates for 2015: February 11, May 13, August 12, October 14
and December 9.
G. Draft Work Plan for 2015
Mr. Dunlap added topics to the work plan would add the dates that were just selected. .
H. Elect Chair and Vice Chair, effective next meeting
Chair Hoffman asked for nominations for Chair.
Commissioner Keeler nominated Commissioner Browning and it was accepted.
Chair Hoffman called for nominations for Chair two more times. Nominations were
closed.
Chair Hoffman called for nominations for Vice Chair.
Commissioner Browning nominated Commissioner Keeler for Vice Chair who declined
because he was Vice Chair this year.
Commissioner Browning nominated Commissioner Reinhardt and it was accepted.
Chair Hoffman called for nominations for Vice Chair two more times. Nominations were
closed.
A voted was taken on the nominations of Bruce Browning as Chair and Reinhardt for
Vice Chair. The motion passed 7-0.
7. Communication from the Chair, Communications from City Staff
Commissioner Keeler indicated they should think about on specific call service data from
Comcast, and making it part of the franchise approval. They already know on the bill to
show the St. Louis Park contact number, so they can sort the complaints based on that. It
could be done relatively easy.
City Council Meeting of March 2, 2015 (Item No. 4k) Page 5
Title: Telecommunications Advisory Commission Meeting Minutes of December 9, 2014
Commissioner Keeler asked what the role of the Commissioners would be at the study
session and how should they participate? Mr. Dunlap replied after the regular Council
meeting, Brian Grogan will meet with City Council for the work session and give an
update of all of the options. The City Council will decide how to move forward.
Commissioner Browning asked if any other cities had approved the transfer. Mr. Dunlap
replied the North Suburban Cable Commission got a two-year extension of their existing
franchise. They approved the transfer with a small group of conditions. There are other
communities that have been talking with Comcast as well.
Commissioner Keeler reported that the MACTA Board had their annual planning session
last week, and is keeping tabs on Century Link, state legislation and the Time
Warner/Comcast merger. MACTA will hold their annual conference in June.
Commissioner Browning offered to help on PEG and conference planning committees.
8. Adjournment
Commissioner Keeler made a motion, Commission Peterson seconded to adjourn at 7:49.
The motion passed.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Public Hearing/Project Report: 2015 Connect the Park!
RECOMMENDED ACTION: The City Council is asked to conduct a public hearing and
review the proposed 2015 Connect the Park! projects. Formal action for final Council approval
of the 2015 projects is scheduled for March 16.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does the City Council wish staff to continue to pursue the
installation of the proposed 2015 sidewalk, trail, and bikeway segments?
SUMMARY: Connect the Park! is the city's 10-year Capital Improvement Plan to add
additional sidewalks, trails, and bikeways throughout the community. This initiative proposes to
build 10 miles of sidewalk, 3 miles of trail, 3 bridges, and 32 miles of bikeways. As part of
Vision St. Louis Park in 2007, the city worked with community members to create an Active
Living Sidewalks and Trails plan. The Connect the Park! initiative will work toward
implementing many of the elements of the plan between now and 2023.
The primary goal of Connect the Park! is to develop a comprehensive, city-wide system of
sidewalks, trails, and bikeways that provides local and regional connectivity, improves safety
and accessibility, and enhances overall community livability. This is achieved by creating a
system plan that provides sidewalks approximately every ¼-mile and bikeways every ½-mile in
order to improve pedestrian and bicycle connectivity throughout the community.
Public comment will be accepted at the March 2, 2015 Council meeting. However, formal action
on the 2015 Connect the Park! plan is proposed to be taken at the March 16, 2015 Council
meeting.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: The construction cost estimate for the 2015
projects is estimated at $1,852,500. The original estimated cost for implementing the entire 10
year plan was $17 - 24 million dollars. These improvements will be funded using General
Obligation bonds.
VISION CONSIDERATION: St. Louis Park is committed to being a connected and engaged
community.

Title: Public Hearing/Project Report: 2015 Connect the Park!
DISCUSSION
BACKGROUND: The Connect the Park! Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) was approved by
Council in June of 2013. In 2014, the CIP was modified in order to take advantage of some of
the other projects already identified in the City’s CIP and minimize construction scheduling
impacts from other transportation projects proposed by Hennepin County, MnDOT and
Southwest LRT. The proposed segments and associated build year for this plan can be found in
the attached graphics.
PROPOSED 2015 CONNECT THE PARK! SEGMENTS
In total, seventeen sidewalk and trail segments are recommended for construction in 2015. This
equates to over 11,750 feet (2.2 miles) of new sidewalks and 4250 feet (0.8 miles) of trails.
This is the second construction season for the plan. Staff has utilized the last nine months to
engage the public in the design process.
A Connect the Park! communication plan was created with the help of the City’s
communications department that included a website “connectthepark.org”, an action plan for
resident engagement that includes open houses, social media, and the use of email to share
information about the project as well as receive feedback.
Open houses were held in late November and early December, 2014 as an opportunity for
residents to learn more about the proposed 2015 sidewalk segments and to gain insight on the
right of way directly in front of their house. The initial round of open houses lumped
geographically similar segments together for a general discussion about sidewalk along their
roadway. The preliminary plan showed a 6 foot wide sidewalk with a 5 to 7 foot wide grass
boulevard behind the curb. This cross section was consistent with the sidewalk design included
in the Connect the Park! plan.
Staff presented to the residents the following design criteria that we would use to evaluate the
feasibility of constructing sidewalk.
• Minimize impacts to city boulevards
• Minimize tree impacts
• Driveway grades
• Driveway lengths
• Maintain a minimum of one side on street parking
• Distance from proposed sidewalk to homes
• Location of private utilities that occupy the boulevards (electric, gas, communications)
Other items discussed
• Staff discussed the Right of Way policy for addressing private amenities in the public
right of way.
• Snow removal
• Sidewalk replacement
• Funding
The goal of the first meeting was to educate the residents on the process and gain feedback on
their concerns and issues related to the proposed sidewalk. Many residents asked questions,
wrote post it notes on the layouts and provided suggestions for modifications to this base design.
Staff tried to incorporate these comments into a refined design.
City Council Meeting of March 2, 2015 (Item No. 6a) Page 3
Title: Public Hearing/Project Report: 2015 Connect the Park!
The following are the key issues staff heard in this initial round of open houses:
• Concern about impacts to trees and other vegetation in the boulevard
• Close proximity of the sidewalk to the house
• Shortening driveway lengths
• Sidewalks were not needed
If property owners were unable to attend the meetings, or if they had specific concerns that they
wanted to walk through, staff met with them on site. Using the information gathered from the
first round of open houses, individual site visits, phone calls and emails, staff revised the
sidewalk design to try to minimize the number of impacts within the boulevards. When impacts
could not be avoided, staff proposed mitigation of the impacts.
Engineering staff worked closely with Operations and Recreation staff to ensure the network of
sidewalk being built would meet the objectives for tree preservation/ replanting and acceptable
widths and design features for snow removal on community sidewalk segments.
Staff also worked closely with Operations and Recreation, Police and Fire to understand
appropriate street widths for efficient snow removal and safe travel for emergency response
vehicles.
The following pages of the summary discuss the design modifications staff used to minimize the
impacts to the property owners along these sidewalk segments.
The proposed final design plans were presented to residents at a second round of open house
meetings in January and February 2015. These meetings were held in a similar format to the first
round were residents were able to ask questions and staff asked for their feedback. Staff shared
with the residents the next steps in the process and informed them of opportunities to contact
staff and Council members, the upcoming study session and future Council reports prior to start
of construction.
ADDITIONAL COMMUNICATION: Staff has received a limited amount of communication
from residents, neighborhood groups and businesses expressing their feedback on the proposed
sidewalk segments.
Staff has included correspondence from residents with this Council report.
SIDEWALK SEGMENTS
Flag Avenue, 18th Street, Hillsboro Avenue and 14th Street
Segment Overview: Approximately half of this sidewalk (north of 16th Street) is planned
to be constructed in conjunction with the 2015 Pavement Management project. The
remainder of the sidewalk south of 16th street is adjacent to streets the City will not be
reconstructing this year.
Community Significance: This area of town is currently underserved by pedestrian
facilities. The installation of sidewalk on these streets will connect the sidewalk along
Flag Avenue to Wayzata Boulevard.
Public Process: Staff has held two public open houses and on-site meetings with
residents to discuss issues and concerns.
Design: The construction of a five foot wide concrete sidewalk with a variable width
boulevard (4-6 feet) along the east side of Flag Avenue north of the Minneapolis Golf
City Council Meeting of March 2, 2015 (Item No. 6a) Page 4
Title: Public Hearing/Project Report: 2015 Connect the Park!
Club and the north side of 18th Street. At the intersection of Hillsboro Avenue and 18th
Street the sidewalk switches to the west side of the roadway as it heads north to 14th
street. The sidewalk continues on the south side of 14th Street from Flag Avenue to the
Frontage Road of TH 169. The walk continues north along the west side of the Frontage
Road to Wayzata Boulevard. There are a number of trees that will need to be removed
along Hillsboro Avenue between 18th Street and 14th Street. The City is proposing to
narrow the street from 30 feet to 28 feet to minimize tree impacts and driveway grades
where feasible.
Walk Type: This is proposed to be a community sidewalk and would be maintained by
the City for snow removal.
Cost: The engineering cost estimate for the 3,600 feet of sidewalk is $241,500.
Construction Schedule: This sidewalk segment is planned to be built in conjunction
with the Pavement Management street reconstruction project scheduled to be completed
in the summer of 2015
Segments Around Louisiana Oaks Park
There are three segments of sidewalk and/or trail that “ring” Louisiana Oaks Park and the former
Reilly Tar & Chemical Site. The City is required to complete additional permitting in order to
complete any excavation near the site. The timing of the permitting necessitated postponing
these segments until the 2015 construction season. This aligns well with the 2015 Municipal
State Aid road project proposed for Walker St, the completion of the Highway 7/ Louisiana
interchange project and the improvements programmed for Louisiana Oaks Park. These
segments are discussed in more detail in the following pages of the report:
1. Louisiana Avenue Trail (From Walker Street to 32nd Street)
2. 32nd Street Trail (Pennsylvania Ave to Oregon Ave)
3. Walker Street Sidewalk (Texas Ave to 37th St) and Walker Street Trail (Adjacent to
Louisiana Oaks Park)
City Council Meeting of March 2, 2015 (Item No. 6a) Page 5
Title: Public Hearing/Project Report: 2015 Connect the Park!
1. Louisiana Avenue Trail (From Walker Street to 32nd Street)
Segment Overview: This segment is currently has a 5 foot wide concrete sidewalk on the
west side of the roadway. The sidewalk will be replaced by an 8 or 10 foot wide asphalt
trail. This will continue the wider multi-use trail that was built in 2014 from Oxford
Street up to Walker Street.
Community Significance: This trail creates a direct connection to the Three Rivers
Regional trail and future SWLRT station.
Public Process: Staff held a public meeting in 2013 and two more public open houses in
late 2014/early 2015 with residents to discuss issues and concerns.
Design: The construction of a 10 foot wide asphalt trail with a variable width boulevard
(4-6 feet) along the west side of Louisiana Avenue from 36th Street to the pedestrian
bridge over Louisiana Avenue. North of the pedestrian bridge the trail will narrow to 8
foot wide to minimize tree impacts. Staff is proposing to reconstruct the approach to the
pedestrian bridge and the trail entrance in to Louisiana Oaks Park.
Walk Type: This is proposed to be a community trail and would be maintained by the
City for snow removal.
Cost: The engineering cost estimate for the 2,900 feet of trail is $550,000.
Construction Schedule: This trail segment is planned to be built in conjunction with the
Walker/ 36th Street 2015 Municipal State Aid reconstruction project scheduled to be

2. 32nd Street Trail (Between Pennsylvania Avenue and Oregon Avenue)
Segment Overview: This segment is a gap in the trail network that wraps around
Louisiana Oaks Park. Currently there is a dirt path within the City’s 32nd Street right of
way.
Community Significance: This trail completes a gap in the Louisiana Oaks Park trail
system that will create a continuous walking and biking loop around the park.
Public Process: Staff has held a public meeting in 2013 and two more public open
houses in late 2014/early 2015 with residents to discuss issues and concerns.
Design: The construction of a 10 foot wide asphalt trail that connects the trail network
currently in place around Louisiana Oaks Park. This area is currently heavily wooded.
Staff has worked with the City Forester to minimize tree impacts.
Walk Type: This is proposed to be a community trail and would be maintained by the
City for snow removal.
Cost: The engineering cost estimate for the 350 feet of trail is $55,000.

3. Walker Street Sidewalk (Texas Ave to 37th St) and Walker Street Trail (Adjacent to
Louisiana Oaks Park)
Segment Overview: Although Walker Street has a substantial amount of sidewalk and
trails, many of the segments are not connected. This creates gaps that pedestrians and
trail users need to manage. Since Walker Street is scheduled for reconstruction in 2015
staff believes this is the right time to create these connections.
Community Significance: The construction of these sidewalk and trail segments fills
gaps in the current pedestrian network between Louisiana Avenue and Texas Avenue.
Both Texas and Louisiana are major north- south routes connecting destinations and the
regional trail system.
Public Process: Staff held a public meeting in 2013 and additional public open houses in
late 2014 with residents to discuss issues and concerns.
Design: Along the north side of Walker Street from the west edge of Louisiana Oaks
Park to Louisiana Avenue an 8 foot wide bituminous trail would be built with a
boulevard that ranges from 6 to 20 feet. A 6 foot wide concrete sidewalk is proposed
along the south side of Walker Avenue from Quebec Avenue to 37th Street and then along
the north side between Texas Avenue and Quebec Avenue. These sidewalks fill in the
gap segments that exist today.
Walk Type: These are proposed to be a community sidewalk and trail that would be
maintained by the City for snow removal.
Cost: The engineering cost estimate for the 2000 feet of sidewalk and 1000 feet of
asphalt trail is $130,000. Final estimates will be available with the MSA Roadway
Improvement project report on March 16, 2015.
Construction Schedule: This sidewalk and trail segment is planned to be built as part of
the Walker/ 36th Street 2015 Municipal State Aid reconstruction project scheduled to be
completed in the summer of 2015.

Title: Public Hearing/Project Report: 2015 Connect the Park!
IMPACTS, EASEMENTS AND RIGHT OF ENTRY: All the proposed sidewalks for 2015
are challenging to build in a fully development community such St. Louis Park. The design and
implementation of these segments require flexibility in design standards and creativity in design
alternatives. Each sidewalk segment is unique and requires its own set of design solutions to
minimize and mitigate impacts to the community.
The designs presented to the residents and in this report acknowledge that tree loss and
temporary impacts to private property are two very sensitive issues. The proposed design
endeavors to balance the need for increased pedestrian facilities within the City with the impacts
to residents who live along these proposed sidewalks, trails and bikeways.
If these projects are approved, staff will work with residents to obtain the easements and right of
entry documents necessary to construct the various sidewalk and trails.
NEXT STEPS: The proposed schedule for the segments recommended by staff to facilitate
construction in 2015 is as follows:
Council Study Session February 23, 2015
Submit Project Report and Public Discussion March 2, 2015
Council Approval of Project Report March 16, 2015
Council Awards Construction Bids April 6, 2015
Construction May through October 2015
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: Each sidewalk segment is unique and
requires its own set of design solutions to minimize and mitigate impacts in the right- of- way.
Often this requires more expensive solutions then is typically considered for standard sidewalk
construction. The increase in costs to construct these segments was acknowledged in the original
estimates during the Connect the Park! planning. Staff is confident that the estimates shown
above are within the budget approved by Council in June 2013.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Project Report: Pavement Management Project – Area 3 - Project # 4015-1003
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to Adopt Resolution accepting the project report,
establishing Improvement Project No. 4015-1003, approving plans and specifications and
authorizing advertisement for bids for these improvements.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does the City Council wish to continue implementation of the
City’s Pavement Management Program?
SUMMARY: Annually the City rehabilitates several miles of local residential streets. This
year, the streets to be rehabilitated are located in Pavement Management Area 3 (see attached
exhibit). The street rehabilitation work generally consists of removing and replacing the existing
bituminous pavement and replacing portions of concrete curb and gutter as needed. Other work
includes sewer repairs and select watermain replacement.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: This project was included in the City’s
Capital Improvement Program with an estimated budget of $2,642,250. The costs for
construction of this project have increased by approximately $500,000. The increase is
attributed to the inclusion of the Connect the Park! sidewalks at approximately $240,000 and the
industry’s cost escalator of 6-10% on construction materials and labor that is expected in 2015.
Project funding will be provided by the Pavement Management Fund and Utility Funds. The
Engineer’s estimate for the total cost of the project is $3,171,880 which includes 5% for
contingencies and 10% for engineering & administration. Cost and funding details are as
follows:
Estimated Costs
Construction Cost $2,758,156
Contingencies (5%) $137,908
Engineering & Administration (10%) $275,815
Total $3,171,880
Funding Sources
Pavement Management Fund $1,747,468
Watermain Fund $902,632
Storm Sewer Fund $258,673
Sanitary Sewer Fund $142,071
Connect the Park! GO Bonds $241,518
Total $3,171,880

Title: Project Report: Pavement Management Project – Area 3 – Project #4015-1003
DISCUSSION
BACKGROUND: The City’s Pavement Management Program proactively addresses the
condition of the residential streets within the city. Many of these streets are now approaching 40
years of age or more. The city’s residential streets are still in relatively good condition due to the
fact that the streets were built well, are generally situated on good soils, utilize curb & gutter for
drainage and have been well maintained. City maintenance crews have continually worked to
keep residential streets in good condition using maintenance strategies such as patching, crack
filling and seal coating. However, as pavements age, more aggressive maintenance strategies are
needed to prolong their life.
The Pavement Management Program was developed to extend pavement life and enhance
system-wide performance in a cost-effective and efficient way by providing the right pavement
strategy at the right time. Using the City’s pavement management software, staff obtains street
condition ratings and monitors their performance. Staff then evaluates the condition of streets
and selects cost-effective treatments to extend pavement life.
2015 Proposed Project
This year’s work, Project No. 4015-1003, will be performed in Area 3 of the City’s eight
pavement management areas. It includes work in the Cedar Manor, Crestview, Westdale and
Westwood Hills Neighborhoods. The attached exhibit identifies which streets in Area 3 have
been selected for rehabilitation. Selection was based on street condition surveys and field
evaluations to determine current conditions of the pavement, curb and gutter, and the city’s
underground utilities. A team of staff members worked together to select streets and to
recommend appropriate rehabilitation techniques for inclusion in this year’s Pavement
Management Projects. The team included staff from Operations, Utilities, and Engineering.
The residential streets selected this year for rehabilitation were all originally constructed in a
similar fashion. The structure of most of the streets consists of a two (2) inch layer of asphalt
pavement over six (6) inches of quality gravel. Staff has determined that an appropriate
treatment for rehabilitating the streets consists of removing the old asphalt pavement and
replacing it with three and one half (3-1/2) inches of new pavement. The thicker asphalt section
is being used to provide for heavier vehicles, such as garbage trucks, and the increased volume of
traffic on the streets. This will also allow for flexibility of future maintenance. For example,
with a 2-inch thickness of asphalt, a typical mill and overlay is not possible because the asphalt
layer is too thin. With 3-1/2 inch thickness, 1.5 inches of asphalt can be milled off and replaced
with the same thickness of new pavement.
The work is split in to the following three areas (see attached exhibit):
Area A (14th St, Flag Ave, Hillsboro Ave. Independence Ave and sidewalk segments)
This area will consist of the replacement of the watermain, water services to the curb stop and
the majority of the curb and driveway aprons replaced. The asphalt pavement will be removed
and replaced. In addition, the storm sewer inlets, at the corners of the blocks, may also be rebuilt
or replaced as part of the project work.
This area also includes a proposal to install concrete sidewalk (the line shown in blue on the
attached exhibit) on 14th Street, Hillsboro Avenue and 18th Street. This would connect Wayzata
Boulevard to Flag Avenue.
Area B (18th St, Utah Drive, Virginia Ave and Westwood Hills Dr)
This area will have the majority of the curb and gutter, driveways and the entire asphalt
pavement replaced. Minor repair to storm inlets and hydrants will also occur.

Title: Project Report: Pavement Management Project – Area 3 – Project #4015-1003
Area C (Aquila Ave, Boone Ave, Boone Ct, Xylon Ave, Yukon Ave and Zinran Ave)
This area will have the entire asphalt pavement replaced and minor replacement of the existing
curb and gutter. Minor repair to storm inlets and hydrants will also occur.
Sidewalk Construction in Area A
In addition to the street rehabilitation project, the Engineering staff is completing the feasibility
analysis and public process for sidewalks that are proposed to be built on Flag Avenue, 18th
Street, Hillsboro Avenue, 14th Street and the Frontage Road. These sidewalks are identified in
the Connect the Park! Capital Improvement Plan and an extensive public engagement process
with the neighborhood has been completed.
The public hearing for this portion of the work is scheduled for March 2, 2015. The estimated
cost for the pavement management project does include these sidewalk segments; however the
sidewalk construction is proposed to be included as a bid alternate in this contract. That will
provide the Council the ability to accept or reject this bid alternate when the contract is awarded
based on its decision scheduled for March 16.
Private Utility Construction
Utility companies have been contacted to inform them of the city’s proposed construction work
and schedule. For those companies that have buried utilities, staff has asked them to consider
replacing aging systems prior to our paving of the streets. CenterPoint Energy has indicated that
they have significant upgrades to their gas main lines and service lines planned on the majority
of the streets in the project area this spring.
Public Process:
Staff invited the property owners and neighborhood associations to an open house to review the
preliminary plans for the proposed street construction work on December 18, 2014. Twelve
residents attended the open house. Typical questions were raised about the timing of the project
and what construction impacts would be felt by the residents while the project is underway.
A second open house was held on January 29, 2015 and focused solely on the residents who had
sidewalk proposed in the boulevard adjacent to their yard. This meeting was attended by
approximately 13 of the 61 impacted property owners.
Project Timeline:
The project is anticipated to start in May and will last approximately 5 months. Work on any one
block will usually last about five to six weeks. Streets with watermain work may take longer to
complete. During that time, crews will replace the curb and gutter, if needed, then remove the
pavement, grade the street, and then pave the first layer of bituminous. During this work,
residents will nearly always have access to their driveways and overnight parking will be
allowed on the street. However, driveways will not be accessible for one week if concrete
aprons are replaced. The final layer of bituminous is typically placed near the end of the project
and will result in another day of disruption for any one block.
Should the City Council approve this Project, the following schedule is proposed:
• Approval of Plans/Authorization to Bid by City Council March 2, 2015
• Advertise for bids Early March, 2015
• Bid Opening March 27, 2015
• Bid Tab Report to City Council; Award contract April 6, 2015
• Begin Construction May, 2015

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Methodist Hospital Expansion - Major Amendment to PUD
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to Adopt Resolution Approving a Major Amendment to
the Final Planned Unit Development (PUD) for Methodist Hospital.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does the City Council support the proposed expansion of
Methodist Hospital?
SUMMARY: Park Nicollet Health Services requests approval of a major amendment to the
existing PUD for the Methodist Hospital Campus to allow construction of improvements to its
patient rooms and surgical center. The additions are primarily vertical expansions of the east and
west towers of the main hospital building at 6500 Excelsior Boulevard and would add 58,869
square feet to the building. Essentially, the additions do not change the footprint of the building.
The plans are consistent with the long-range General Development Plan for the campus that Park
Nicollet prepared in 2003.
Park Nicollet, Neighborhood, and City representatives met twice to discuss the proposed plans.
The discussions focused on a list of neighborhood concerns and goals to which Park Nicollet
Methodist Hospital has responded. Park Nicollet documented the neighborhood’s concerns and
the proposed resolutions in an “Issues and Resolution List” that is attached for your information.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on February 4, 2015. No one spoke at the
public hearing and the Planning Commission recommended approval of the application.

Title: Methodist Hospital Expansion - Major Amendment to PUD
DISCUSSION
Project Description: Park Nicollet proposes three additions to Methodist Hospital located at
6500 Excelsior Boulevard. The building additions are described below.
Patient Room Modernization: This part of the project is comprised of two level (5th and 6th
floor) vertical expansion above the existing hospital building totaling 38,334 square feet for new
in-patient private rooms with associated family and nursing space. The project also includes
renovation of existing patient room space on floors 4-7 of the existing west tower of the hospital
converting them from semi-private (two patients) to private (single patient) rooms. When the
Patient Room Modernization is complete nearly all of the rooms at Methodist will be private.
Surgery Expansion/Renovation: The hospital also proposes a one level vertical expansion for
Surgical Services on the west side of the hospital campus. This addition comprises a total of
20,535 square feet, of which 2,800 square feet is at the Ground Floor, 3,235 square feet is at the
First Floor and 14,500 square feet is at the Second Floor. The project is a major renovation of the
Surgery Center. It adds pre-op and post-op rooms. Also, sixteen operating rooms will be
renovated and upgraded to accommodate state of the art equipment and have a standard layout
which will increase safety and efficiency. Shell space for two additional operating rooms will be
available for future expansion. Six small existing operating rooms will be decommissioned.
“Link” Addition: A small (200 square feet) addition is also proposed on the third floor
connecting the Meadowbrook Building to existing shell space above the Cancer Center.
Background: In 2003, Park Nicollet prepared a General Development Plan for the Methodist
Hospital campus that described short-term and long-term plans for expansion. Park Nicollet
worked closely with Brooklawns neighborhood representatives to arrive at this plan. The City
approved the General Development Plan Phase II (longer-term) improvements in concept only.
This project advances another portion of Phase II improvements and requires a PUD Major
Amendment.
The City completed an Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) in 2003, which analyzed a
future total hospital building area of 1,235,927 square feet based on the proposed General
Development Plan. The current building area is 1,039,000 square feet. The proposed addition
would add 58,869 square feet for a total of 1,097,869 square feet, which is still below the area
analyzed in the EAW. The locations of the currently proposed vertical building expansions were
shown in the General Development Plan.
Park Nicollet, Neighborhood, and City representatives met twice to discuss the latest proposed
additions. The discussions centered on a list of neighborhood concerns and goals to which Park
Nicollet Methodist Hospital has responded. Park Nicollet documented the neighborhood’s
concerns and the proposed resolutions in an “Issues and Resolution List” that is attached for your
review.

Floodplain: Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) issued a Letter of Map Revision
(LOMR) that became effective on September 28, 2007 that established the predicted 100-year
flood elevation in the Methodist Hospital Campus area at an elevation of 890.
A small portion of the proposed west addition will encroach upon the 100-year floodplain. The
use of the floor area within the floodplain will be a stairway and storage. The building will be
constructed of flood resistant materials. Based on these factors, the encroachment may be
allowed, provided compensatory storage is provided for any loss in flood storage capacity.
There will be 77 cubic yards of fill in the floodplain and 122 cubic yards of excavation near the
truck loading docks. Staff finds the required compensatory storage will be provided.
Zoning Analysis: The proposed addition to the west side of the building meets all the
requirements of the Zoning Code. A PUD modification for the building height is needed for a
portion of the east tower addition; otherwise, it meets all the Zoning Code requirements. The
modification will be discussed in the building height section below. In 2003, the City granted a
PUD modification for the existing eight-story hospital building.

Architectural Design:
The height, massing, roof treatment, proportions and architectural character of the proposed
additions are contextual and complementary with the existing hospital. There are brick and glass
elements that match the existing building. The plans introduce more prefinished metal materials
on the building walls than has been previously included on the existing building. The hospital
has previously used prefinished metal as an accent material near the building main entrances as
either siding or in the canopies. The building meets the minimum 60% Class I materials
requirement.
Building Height
The proposed west surgery addition is 45 feet tall and meets all the code requirements.
The east side expansion will require a PUD modification for building height in order to proceed.
The building will be 71.96 feet tall (el. 977.1) measured to the roof. There are also parapet walls
that extend 2.7 feet and 7.75 feet higher than the roof.
City Council Meeting of March 2, 2015 (Item No. 8b) Page 5
Title: Methodist Hospital Expansion - Major Amendment to PUD
In the RC zoning district, the maximum height is generally 75 feet with some allowances for
parapet walls and elevator penthouses to be taller than 75 feet. However, hospital buildings are
limited to 45 feet tall within 100 feet of R-1, R-2 or R-3 zoning districts. The existing hospital
building is 93 feet from the R-2 district to the east.
The PUD modification would allow the building addition to be between 27 feet (to the roof) and
35 feet (to the tallest parapet wall) taller than normally allowed within 100 feet of a single-family
residential zoning district.
The proposed PUD modification was discussed during the neighborhood meetings and Park
Nicollet shared the following points:
• The existing east tower (circa 1978) was designed to allow expansions up to 8 stories
(matching the height of the existing central hospital tower).
• The 2003 General Development Plan contemplated vertical expansion in this location,
and received conceptual support from the neighborhood and City of St. Louis Park.
• There are structural engineering limitations to stepping the building addition back seven
feet on the east side.
• Stepping the building addition back seven feet would also cause practical difficulties in
the layout of the planned patient rooms and cause ongoing operational (nursing/staffing)
inefficiencies of those areas.
• The proposed taller parapet walls would better screen some of the rooftop mechanical
equipment from off-site.
• The architect evaluated the shadowing impacts of the proposed addition on the
neighboring residential properties. With computer modeling the architect was able to
attribute some additional shadowing on the back yards of the some of the residential lots,
but the exhibits also indicated the shadowing would be almost imperceptible in
comparison to the shadows from the existing 8-story tower. The shadows produced by
the hospital building, both existing and proposed, do not violate the zoning code
architectural design regulations.
Staff would add the following three points when considering the merits of this modification
request:
• Based on the floor area proposed in the 2003 EAW for the vertical expansions, the
proposed floor area for the two additional floors on the east tower seem consistent with
the General Development Plan.
• The PUD ordinance allows for modification of the height restrictions in the ordinance.
• The proposed addition would be set back a distance greater than the proposed building
height from the neighboring single-family residential properties in accordance with the
PUD regulations.
Also of note, there will be an elevator penthouse and mechanical equipment that rise to total
heights of 92.8 feet (el. 994.3) and 84 feet (el. 989.1) respectively. These are within the
maximum 100 feet height allowed by the zoning code and are not within 100 feet of the
residential properties.
Landscaping
Revised landscaping plans for the east side of the site were recently approved by the City
Council as a minor amendment to the PUD. No additional plantings are required as part of this
project. Over the next four years the landscaping along the east side of the building will be
City Council Meeting of March 2, 2015 (Item No. 8b) Page 6
Title: Methodist Hospital Expansion - Major Amendment to PUD
disturbed by either this construction, or due to Xcel Energy landscaping restrictions under its
overhead high voltage power lines. The landscaping will be replaced with suitable plantings
within four years in compliance with the recently approved landscaping plan. Landscaping plans
are not included in the exhibits.
Drainage, Grading and Utilities
The sanitary sewer, storm sewer, and water mains are adequate to serve the facility and the
proposed additions.
Wetlands and water quality are governed by the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District
(MCWD). The applicant shall meet MCWD permitting requirements. This is included in the
conditions of approval.
Lighting
The proposed photometric plan meets City Code requirements. In addition, to the City’s
regulations for exterior lighting, the architect has tried to address the neighbors’ questions and
concerns about lighting impacts from inside the building and shared a light study exhibit with the
neighborhood representatives. The City Code does not address this issue directly.
Parking
The proposed addition is not expected to generate additional parking demand. The
improvements do not increase the number of patient rooms or hospital staffing. The existing on-
site and off-site parking supply will be adequate to serve the campus.
Conclusion: Park Nicollet has worked with the neighborhood to resolve issues and the proposal
is consistent with the Methodist Hospital General Development Plan. The Planning Commission
and staff recommend approval of the PUD major amendment with a modification for the
building height.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Meadowbrook Golf Course Rezoning
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to Approve First Reading of Ordinance rezoning
Meadowbrook Golf Course from R-1 Single Family Residential to Park and Open Space (POS),
and set the Second Reading for March 16, 2015.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does the City Council support the rezoning of Meadowbrook
Golf Course to be consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan land use designation?
SUMMARY:
Meadowbrook Golf Course was established in 1926 and spans St. Louis Park and Hopkins. In
St. Louis Park, there are two parcels that total 140.76 acres. Currently, both parcels are zoned R-
1 Single-Family Residential. The majority of the land is located in the FEMA Floodplain and is
guided in the City’s Comprehensive Plan as Parks and Open Space.
In 2006, the City adopted a Park and Open Space Zoning District (POS) to preserve City-owned
parks, undevelopable land and areas with valuable environmental qualities, such as open space,
to ensure the continued health, safety and welfare of the community. City owned parks were
rezoned POS at that time. Recently, the City began the process of rezoning other publically-
owned properties as well. Therefore, the City has proposed the rezoning of Meadowbrook Golf
Course, owned by the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB), from R-1 to POS to
make the property consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan and the current use of the
property.
The MPRB supports the rezoning of the property so long as the current use is not in violation of
the POS District, and if the property ceases to be used as a golf course, other open space and
recreational uses will be allowed on the property. Golf courses and recreational uses are
permitted uses within the POS District, and they legally fit within the POS District.
On February 4th, 2015, the Planning Commission held a public hearing for the rezoning of
Meadowbrook Golf Course. No one was present to speak. The Planning Commission
recommended the approval, 6-0, to rezone Meadowbrook Golf Course.
VISION CONSIDERATION: St. Louis Park is committed to being a leader in environmental
stewardship.
