(arrived at 6:39 p.m.), and Sue Santa.

1. Future Study Session Agenda Planning – January 13, 2014
Mr. Harmening presented the proposed study session agenda for January 13, 2014. He advised
that a questionnaire will be sent in the near future to obtain Council’s input on the agenda and
anticipated outcomes for the City Council retreat, adding it is assumed that housing will be the
primary topic for the full day session. He requested guidance from Council regarding the
January 13th discussion on design standards for new homes in established neighborhoods.
Councilmember Mavity stated there appears to be a trend of large homes being built that do not
always fit into the neighborhoods in which they are being built or on the lots. She stated that
while the City wants move-up housing, she would like to understand what other communities
have done to address this issue, adding that Edina and Minneapolis have some guidelines to
make sure the redesign fits into the neighborhood block.
Mayor Pro Tem Sanger agreed and added the City is also seeing a number of additions on houses
that do not fit with the rest of the house as well as with the surrounding neighborhood.
2. Health in the Park Update
Mayor Pro Tem Sanger introduced Ms. Jean Olson from the Health in the Park Team.
Ms. Gothberg presented the staff report and stated the Health in the Park initiative is an exciting
process that is getting people involved so that St. Louis Park can be a healthier community.
Ms. Olson advised they are currently working in segments of the community to talk about what
health means to community members, adding that health means different things to different
people and while the City is not going to be able to fix it for everyone, it can get people engaged
and talking about health.
City Council Meeting of January 6, 2014 (Item No. 3a) Page 2
Title: Study Session Minutes of December 9, 2013
Ms. Gothberg advised the first community conversation is scheduled for Thursday, February 20,
2014, from 6:30-8:30 p.m., and a second community conversation is scheduled for Sunday,
March 2, 2014, from 1:30-4:30 p.m. and requested that Council spread the word among their
constituents about these community meetings.
Councilmember Santa requested information about the team’s outreach to new immigrants.
Ms. Gothberg stated that the steering committee includes a Somali immigrant and a person from
Mexico; in addition, they recently spent time with immigrants that are learning to speak English
and the ELL teachers have committed to keeping them on Facebook and Twitter and some of the
students said they would come to the meetings.
Councilmember Mavity requested that staff provide an email to Council with information about
the community conversations so that the email can be forwarded on.
Councilmember Ross commented that the process to date has been very thorough and was
pleased to see that childcare was provided.
Mayor Pro Tem Sanger asked what the team hopes to have accomplished by the end of the first
year.
Ms. Gothberg stated the end of the fiscal year is June 30 and they hope to have gained an
understanding by that time of what people believe needs to be done to be healthier in the
community. She indicated that they will be working with Blue Cross Blue Shield over the next
two years to start turning what was learned into a reality. She added that Twin Cities Public
Television will begin filming its half-hour documentary sometime after the first of the year and
will probably select several people that will be telling their story
3. Update on Results from LISC Community Development Initiative Process (CDI) for
Wooddale Station Area
Ms. McMonigal presented the staff report and introduced Ms. Gretchen Nicholls from Twin
Cities LISC.
Ms. Nicholls distributed the Wooddale LRT Station Corridor Development Initiative Summary
Report and Final Recommendations. She explained they conducted a four part series of
workshops provided through a Met Council grant to support cities in predevelopment work and
they used the Wooddale station area because it represents an excellent site owned by the City and
the County. She added that a publicly owned parcel is ideal for this process because of a city’s
influence over what happens on the site. She discussed the CDI process of providing a
framework for housing and mixed use development for Twin Cities neighborhoods and
expressed thanks to the Advisory Group members and Technical Team members who
participated in the process. She also discussed the workshops and meeting topics and indicated
the block exercise was the most interesting part because it allowed the groups to test out things
they would like to see on the site and how to leverage some of those things against the financial
realities of the site. She also presented examples of some of the ideas that the groups were
testing.
City Council Meeting of January 6, 2014 (Item No. 3a) Page 3
Title: Study Session Minutes of December 9, 2013
Councilmember Ross noted that only one scenario appears to have included affordable housing.
She stated that a lot of times the idea of affordable housing is not a popular topic and she was a
bit concerned that affordable housing is not always looked at as an option for people.
Councilmember Hallfin stated that a panel of developers attended one of the meetings and the
issue of affordable housing was discussed, including the differences between nonprofit and for
profit developers, the hurdles to doing one type of housing over the other, as well as the idea of
trying to bring in more mixed housing similar to the Excelsior and Grand project.
Ms. Nicholls indicated that a lot depends on who is participating in the conversation and whether
they have a specific housing need they want to see addressed, adding that the participants in this
conversation were receptive to affordable housing. She stated there was also a lot of discussion
about traffic flow, walkability, and challenges on this site. She presented the Development
Objectives and Goals, stating there was a lot of emphasis on maintaining the neighborhood
character, not making this area a regional destination, enhancing connections to reinforce
pedestrian, bus, and bike access, and how to make this a more pedestrian friendly area. She
indicated that an RFQ process might be an ideal way to get in early with a partner to go through
a creative process to figure out how to maximize the site.
Mayor Pro Tem Sanger felt the City should consider adding design guidelines related to
architectural standards to make sure this site is visually appealing. She questioned whether the
City should consider some kind of project that includes the parcel to the east of this site.
Ms. McMonigal advised that staff talked to this property owner who indicated they were not
interested in participating at this time. She added that the panel of developers also suggested
working with that property owner to create a larger site and do a larger project.
Councilmember Mavity stated the City has a lot of thriving small businesses in this area that play
a big role in the community and urged caution when planning this site to make sure these small
businesses are not priced out of any development.
Mayor Pro Tem Sanger expressed concern about the significant traffic problems existing in this
area and urged the City to think through the traffic implications of any new development before
adding additional housing.
Councilmember Hallfin stated he attended one of the meetings and one of the residents from the
senior condominium complex expressed concern about the parcel of land directly across the
street, which is now green space and the resident felt there was something the City could do to
upgrade this green space and to make it more useable as a park. He indicated he wanted to make
sure this resident’s voice was heard and that Council discusses this at some point in the future.
He felt that a company like PLACE would be a great company to talk to and encouraged the City
to talk to them about this site.
Mayor Pro Tem Sanger thanked Ms. Nicholls and all of the participants for their work.
4. Traffic Studies – Methodologies
Ms. Heiser presented the staff report and introduced Marie Cote from SRF Consulting.
City Council Meeting of January 6, 2014 (Item No. 3a) Page 4
Title: Study Session Minutes of December 9, 2013
Ms. Cote explained that City staff considers several factors when determining the need for a
traffic impact study, including the size and type of development, changes in land use, and
whether a development creates a safety concern, adding there is no guarantee that every
proposed development needs a traffic impact study. She stated that a traffic impact study
evaluates potential impacts for all modes of transportation and are used to assist in long term
planning for the growth of a transportation system. She reviewed the traffic impact study
process and the elements of a traffic impact study, pointing out that they look at site access and
circulation issues as well as multimodal impacts and work with City staff to determine key study
intersections to consider. She also explained the data collection process that includes daily
traffic volumes and peak hour turning movements, noting they also take note of any queuing
problems as well as safety issues during the a.m. and p.m. peak hours. She also discussed tools
used in completing a traffic impact study and the level of service rankings used, with Level of
Service A being the best and Level of Service F indicating an intersection where demand
exceeds capacity. Levels of Service A through D are considered acceptable. Cote pointed out
that a traffic study will provide an overall level of service that is the average delay of every
vehicle in the a.m. and p.m. peak hour and there could be concerns with a particular turning
movement, e.g., westbound 36th to go north on Wooddale, and a traffic study can look at that
approach to determine the Level of Service for those vehicles in that particular area. She stated it
is not uncommon to see a lot of unacceptable results and the first step is to identify mitigation
measures, e.g., changing the signal timing, and then determining if further improvements are
needed to reach an acceptable Level of Service. She stated there could be a situation where there
is a Level of Service F for unsignalized intersections such as Cedar Lake Road near Eliot School.
The overall operations of a high volume main line such as Cedar Lake Road could be at an
acceptable Level of Service but the side streets being used to get out onto Cedar Lake Road
could reach a Level of Service F. That does not mean that a particular project will not work and
a traffic study will look at whether there is another location where drivers can get out onto the
roadway. She then presented information about wait times for signalized and unsignalized
intersections based on the average delay per vehicle.
Councilmember Ross expressed concern about the upcoming upgrade of Highway 100 and the
impact of people cutting through the neighborhoods to avoid the construction. She asked what
SRF Consulting has done in the past to address these impacts on communities and to alleviate
pressure on the neighborhoods.
Ms. Cote stated that SRF Consulting is not currently working on that area in particular and
acknowledged this is going to be a challenge.
Mayor Pro Tem Sanger asked if City staff was working on a plan to develop alternative routes to
accommodate traffic in the neighborhoods during construction.
Mr. Harmening replied in the affirmative and stated the largest impact will likely be when
Mn/DOT shuts down the Highway 7 Bridge and Minnetonka Boulevard that will require
significant detours.
Mayor Pro Tem Sanger suggested that the City consider banning parking on some streets during
the Highway 100 construction project.
Councilmember Hallfin expressed frustration that an area might already be a Level of Service F
and a traffic impact study prompted by a proposed redevelopment might indicate that the
proposed development is not going to affect traffic because it is already bad so the development
City Council Meeting of January 6, 2014 (Item No. 3a) Page 5
Title: Study Session Minutes of December 9, 2013
can proceed. He indicated that the intersection of Wooddale and Excelsior is a Level of Service
F and felt it was the worst intersection in the City with wait times approaching 4-5 minutes, yet
the traffic study indicated the intersection was fine.
Ms. Cote stated this intersection is difficult, with a County road and Highway 100 at this
intersection. The only time signals can be optimized is usually if it is a long term fix, and those
improvements need to be discussed with the County. She added there are times where they will
say in the traffic impact study that overall the intersection is operating at an acceptable level and
the overall average of all vehicles could be acceptable, however, they do add a statement that
indicates the queues are significant and intersections are being blocked.
Ms. McMonigal stated that there are a number of things the traffic study indicated that the City
could do with the County at this location and staff is pursuing those ideas, including optimizing
the signals and changing some movements. The traffic study stated that this level of service
exists regardless of the proposed redevelopment and the project itself is not causing these issues.
Councilmember Hallfin stated it seems that whenever Council reviews a development proposal,
the traffic impact study always seems to indicate that traffic will be fine.
Ms. McMonigal pointed out that a development proposal will not be presented to Council if a
traffic impact study indicates the traffic will not be okay with the proposed development, and
City staff would continue to work with a developer to make changes, e.g., reducing the number
of units, changing the housing mix, and/or changing access.
Councilmember Hallfin requested a copy of Ms. Cote’s PowerPoint presentation.
Councilmember Mavity requested that the presentation be placed on the City’s website, as well
as the Wooddale LRT Station LISC presentation.
5. Update on Solid Waste Program
Mr. Merkley presented the staff report and advised the City is happy with how well residents
have received the program changes and the City’s recycling has gone up during the first two
months of the program. He stated that only 3.5% residents have requested a smaller size
recycling cart and over 1,150 residents have signed up for organic waste collection. He indicated
that starting January 1st, a new 20-gallon garbage service level will be available and a number of
people have already signed up for this service. He advised that the City has planned some
upcoming program education and will host two open houses in January and February to continue
to promote organics and answer any questions. He announced that the City plans to introduce
new recycling/waste stations at the Rec Center that will include a recycling container, an
organics container, and a waste container, adding that additional recycling/waste stations will be
installed at other City facilities by mid-2014.
Councilmember Ross stated she has seen an increase in recycling at her townhome association
since the new single sort system was implemented and they may need to add more recycling
containers. She asked what the City is doing to encourage businesses to recycle and participate
in organic recycling, adding she recently attended an event at West End and was told that they do
not have recycling for things like plastic water bottles. She asked about having recycling
containers on the street or using recycling/waste stations at West End. She also urged the City to
incorporate recycling/waste stations at the light rail stations.
City Council Meeting of January 6, 2014 (Item No. 3a) Page 6
Title: Study Session Minutes of December 9, 2013
Mr. Merkley stated that working to increase recycling and organic collection for multi-family
and commercial properties is something that staff is planning to do. In addition, Public Works
staff will work with the Community Development Department to make sure they are involved in
the design process for new development as it relates to appropriate locations for recycling and
garbage collection. He added that the street collection is difficult because of contamination and
that the City has experienced contamination issues with recycling in the parks and will continue
to work to minimize the contamination.
Councilmember Santa indicated that the feedback she has received thus far has been positive,
adding that one resident stated she would use the 90-gallon container in the summer but felt it
was a waste of resources to have the 90 gallon container in the winter and questioned why she
could not have a smaller container during the winter. She stated the single sort recycling appears
to be wildly popular and she has had people ask if they can have their recycling picked up every
week because they are quickly filling up their 90-gallon containers.
Ms. Walsh stated that the industry standard for single sort recycling pick-up is every two weeks
and agreed to check on whether the pick-up can be done every week.
Mr. Merkley indicated that the City received a bid from only one provider for single sort
recycling pick-up every week and the cost was very high. He stated residents can request
another recycling cart or they could use their old recycling bins for overflow.
Councilmember Hallfin pointed out if residents have extra recycling that will not fit in the
container, they can place the recycling next to the container and the hauler will take it at no
charge. He stated that Council directed staff to come up with an enhanced recycling and garbage
collection program and tasked City staff to make St. Louis Park #1 in the area, adding he felt the
City has accomplished that and congratulated staff for their hard work. He advised he recently
toured two stadiums in Seattle and heard a presentation from the Green Sports Alliance. He
stated that the Seahawks stadium is a zero waste facility that uses only compostable materials.
He suggested that the City consider incorporating some of the Green Sports Alliance ideas in the
City, perhaps starting at the Rec Center, adding that every single cup going out of the concession
stand could be compostable and he felt there was always more the City could do.
Councilmember Mavity requested that Council acknowledge Ms. Judy Voigt from the
Environment and Sustainability Commission.
Mayor Pro Tem Sanger asked if the City has any data about contamination rates with single sort
recycling.
Mr. Merkley replied that the contamination rate with the dual sort system was about 1% and with
single sort recycling the contamination rate is about 5%, adding that staff knew the
contamination rate would increase. He added the City does not yet have information about the
contamination rate for organics but staff will be tracking that as well.
Mayor Pro Tem Sanger commended Mr. Merkley and his staff and stated the rollout went really
well.
It was the consensus of the City Council to continue to expand the solid waste program to multi-
family and commercial properties and to pursue zero waste recycling.
City Council Meeting of January 6, 2014 (Item No. 3a) Page 7
Title: Study Session Minutes of December 9, 2013
Mayor Pro Tem Sanger requested that the solid waste program be expanded to all City parks.
Councilmember Santa stated that staff has done some wonderful things within the City structure
that led the way and those efforts have made the program changes more acceptable, adding that
City staff have shown real leadership with this program.

Levy is $25,577,908, an increase of 3.50% from the 2013 Final Property Tax Levy. He
noted the Final Property Tax Levy is the same number approved by Council on
City Council Meeting of January 6, 2014 (Item No. 3b) Page 4
Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of December 16, 2013
September 3, 2013. He stated the 2014 HRA Levy is $949,359, an increase of 5.38%
from the 2013 Final HRA Levy. He stated the 2014-2018 CIP is $120.1 million over the
next five years and noted that $87.3 of this amount is from City resources such as cash on
hand, tax levy dollars, current/future utility rates, and bonding, with the remaining $32.8
million coming from non-City resources. He pointed out that the CIP does not include a
possible Community Center because Council tabled this item for six months, nor does the
CIP include purchases of property for SWLRT.
Councilmember Spano stated the City does not have a commitment at this point for the
$32.8 million in non-City recourses and asked how the City would handle changes in
funding formulas from other jurisdictions.
Mr. Swanson replied that staff would come back to Council to see if Council wants to
proceed with a particular project and if so, the City would likely issue debt for those
projects.
Councilmember Mavity stated she was pleased to report that the CIP includes a project at
the intersection of Wooddale and 36th and expressed thanks to City staff for their extra
work with the community in addressing the challenges at this intersection.
It was moved by Councilmember Sanger, seconded by Councilmember Spano, to adopt
Resolution No. 13-179 Adopting the 2013 Final Amended General Fund Budget, 2014
Budgets and Authorizing the 2014 Final Property Tax Levy, Resolution No. 13-180
Approving the 2014 Final HRA Levy, and Resolution No. 13-181 Adopting the 2014-
2018 Capital Improvement Program.
Mayor Jacobs expressed the City Council’s thanks to Mr. Harmening and the entire staff
for doing a great job with the budget.
Councilmember Mavity stated that even though this item did not take very long on the
agenda, the budget process represents hundreds of hours of staff time and many hours of
Council time throughout the year, adding that Council works hard on the budget and
recognizes what residents are being asked to pay to make St. Louis Park a strong
community and she thanked residents for their ongoing support.
The motion passed 6-0 (Councilmember Santa absent).
8b. Resolution Approving Annual City Manager Evaluation. Resolution No. 13-
182.
Ms. Deno presented the staff report and explained that the City Manager’s performance
evaluation was conducted on December 2, 2013, in closed session and Council is
statutorily required to accept the annual performance evaluation at its next open meeting.
Mayor Jacobs advised that consultant Lynae Steinhagen facilitated this year’s City
Manager performance evaluation that included feedback from department heads. He
stated that Council received a summary of the performance evaluation on December 2nd
including written comments and numerical scores in seven categories. He stated the
overall feedback was very positive and Mr. Harmening is universally well regarded and
received the highest scores in communication skills and public relations. He indicated
City Council Meeting of January 6, 2014 (Item No. 3b) Page 5
Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of December 16, 2013
that the department heads consistently ranked Mr. Harmening as a strong leader and
strong role model with the highest ethical standards. He stated that areas of development
include continued emphasis on notably high standards, a focus on future succession
planning, and a gentle reminder from Council to take time for himself. He extended the
City Council’s thanks and appreciation to Mr. Harmening.
It was moved by Councilmember Sanger, seconded by Councilmember Ross, to adopt
Resolution No. 13-182 Accepting the Annual City Manager Evaluation.
The motion passed 6-0 (Councilmember Santa absent).
8c. 2014 Employee Compensation. Resolution No. 13-183.
Ms. Deno presented the staff report and explained that the City Council has previously
authorized the City Manager to set general salary increases and in the interest of
transparency, Council is being asked to sanction the City Manager’s recommendation.
She stated that Keystone Compensation Group reviewed salaries and the compensation
consultant recommends a salary increase of 2% based on the current market. She advised
that the City Manager’s salary was also reviewed by the compensation consultant and
recommended placing a hold on the City Manager’s salary range. She stated the salary
cap in Minnesota only increased by 1% so the City Manager is able to receive a 1%
increase in compensation in order to comply with the cap and will also receive PTO in
accordance with the program set by Council. She stated the volunteer firefighter benefit
program includes a $20,000 life insurance benefit for paid-on-call firefighters and staff
recommends continued participation in this program. She stated a new section is
proposed to be added to the Personnel Manual that allows additional duty pay for Police
Lieutenants if approved by the Chief of Police, adding this additional duty pay would be
typically set at the same rate received by Police Sergeants when they are assigned to
special duty.
It was moved by Councilmember Sanger, seconded by Councilmember Mavity, to adopt
Resolution No. 13-183 Confirming 2014 Compensation for Non-Union Employees;
Setting the City Manager’s Salary; Continuing Participation in the Volunteer Firefighter
Benefit Program; Continuing Performance Program Pay for Paid-on-Call Firefighters;
and Adding Police Lieutenant Additional Duty Pay Policy to the Personnel Manual.
The motion passed 6-0 (Councilmember Santa absent).
9. Communications – Written Report
9a. Highway 7 and Louisiana Avenue Update
Council member Spano stated the total project budget is approximately $31 million and
the written report indicates there will be additional costs to remove contaminated soils
estimated at approximately $1.75 million, which represents approximately 7-8% of the
total project budget. He requested further information about the contaminated soils and
whether the additional $1.75 million will be sufficient to remove the contaminated soils.
Mr. Harmening explained that this intersection is directly adjacent to the Reilly Tar site
and this project included numerous soil borings to identify impacted soils and the
City Council Meeting of January 6, 2014 (Item No. 3b) Page 6
Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of December 16, 2013
estimated cost to remove contaminated soils. He advised that between the time of the soil
borings and commencement of construction, the water table increased about 7’, noting
that this water is not drinking water and the City pumps and treats this water. He stated
that the groundwater then contaminated the soil resulting in an additional 7’ of soil that
had to be hauled away pursuant to PCA requirements and the cost of removing that
additional soil is approximately $1.75 million, adding the City has estimated the full cost
impact based on what is known at the site. He noted that the City will see some cost
savings in other areas based on cost estimates that came in significantly lower than
anticipated, particularly in the area of property acquisitions, and this will offset some of
the costs for the soil correction work. He added that the City has applied for a Hennepin
County Environmental Response Fund grant for $533,000.00, and this could be used to
offset the $1.75 million.
Councilmember Mavity stated that staff has worked hard to increase the communications
about the changes occurring at this intersection that have been helpful to residents. She
added residents can call City Hall or visit the City’s website to be placed on a call alert to
be notified ahead of time about changes to the project.
Mayor Jacobs wished residents a safe and happy holiday.
Councilmember Sanger stated that Met Council has scheduled a meeting to update the
community about SWLRT on Thursday, January 9th, at 5:00 p.m. at the Rec Center.
10. Adjournment
The meeting adjourned at 8:08 p.m.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Minor Amendment to PUD for Construction Hours-Knollwood Mall, 8332 Hwy 7
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to Adopt Resolution to approve a minor amendment to
the approved Planned Unit Development to allow construction to begin at 7am Monday through
Friday, instead of the approved start time of 8am.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does the Council wish to allow the construction activity to
occur within the standard hours allowed by code of 7am to 10pm Monday through Friday?
SUMMARY: Rouse Properties, LLC (Applicant) is requesting a minor amendment to allow
construction activities to begin at the standard start time allowed in the City Code stated below,
which is 7 am Monday through Friday. The Planned Unit Development that was approved by
the Council on September 16, 2013 included a condition that required construction activities for
the approved redevelopment begin at 8am Monday through Friday even though all other
construction activities in and around the mall that are not part of the redevelopment may, by City
Code, start at 7am. Staff inadvertently put in the 8 am start time rather than the standard 7 am
when it drafted the resolution of approval. Here is the language in the ordinance regarding
construction start and ending times:
City Code Section 12-124(c) Power equipment used in construction activities. No person shall
engage in, permit, or allow construction activities involving the use of power equipment,
manual tools, movement of equipment, or other activities except between the hours of 7am and
10pm on weekdays and between the hours of 9am and 10pm on weekends and holidays.
The City will sometimes further restrict the construction hours when the construction activity is
directly adjacent to residential. For example, the Council recently approved the construction of a
7-unit apartment building to be located approximately 30 feet from the neighboring apartment
building. In this case, the neighbors requested a later start time.
The restricted construction hours for Knollwood Mall are not needed because the construction
activity is not located directly adjacent to residential properties. The vast majority of the
construction will occur on the south side of the mall facing Highway 7, and will be located
approximately 600-1,300 feet from the closest residential, which is located across Highway 7.
The minutes of the September 16 City Council meeting and the August 21 Planning Commission
public hearing minutes do not contain any comments or concerns about construction noise.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
ST. LOUIS PARK, MINNESOTA
SEPTEMBER 16, 2013
1. Call to Order
Mayor Jacobs called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m.
Councilmembers present: Mayor Jeff Jacobs, Steve Hallfin, Anne Mavity, Susan Sanger, Sue
Santa, and Jake Spano.
Councilmembers absent: Julia Ross.
Staff present: City Manager (Mr. Harmening), Deputy City Manager/Director of Human
Resources (Ms. Deno), City Attorney (Mr. Scott), Director of Community Development (Mr.
Locke), Director of Engineering (Ms. Heiser), Planning/Zoning Supervisor (Ms. McMonigal),
Senior Engineering Project Manager (Mr. Sullivan), Assistant Zoning Administrator (Mr.
Morrison), Environmental Coordinator (Mr. Vaughan), and Recording Secretary (Ms. Hughes).
8. Resolutions, Ordinances, Motions and Discussion Items
8a. Major Amendment to Knollwood Mall Planned Unit Development (PUD).
Resolution No. 13-138.
Mr. Morrison presented the staff report and explained that Rouse Properties (Rouse)
proposes to demolish 92,500 square feet of the existing mall, construct 25,000 square feet
of new junior box retail spaces, renovate 71,400 square feet of existing mall area,
construct an 11,500 square foot retail building, renovate existing parking areas and
construct additional parking, as well as storm water improvements to the site. He
presented a diagram of the construction area and outlined the proposed changes to the
site, including parking and docking areas, and stated that parking on the site will be better
defined by landscape islands that will more clearly define the drive aisles on the site. He
stated the proposal also includes pedestrian connections to 36th Street and the addition of
a sidewalk segment along 36th Street. He stated the applicant has submitted a plan to
address storm water on the site that includes a dry pond to address and handle runoff
from the eight acres included in the proposal and the second phase includes replacement
of the dry pond and installation of in-ground tanks at some point in the future. He stated
Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD) has presented an opportunity to address
storm water in this area and is willing to contribute financially to a regional pond to treat
an additional 125-150 acres to the north and east, noting this plan will take some time to
develop but the applicant has expressed a willingness to work with MCWD on this plan.
He explained that the current proposal is for a two-phase fallback plan that handles the
storm water on site; if at some point the regional offsite plan works and the parties agree,
that plan would then come back as a major amendment to the PUD. He further explained
that if the offsite pond does not work, there is still a possibility to treat regionally the
storm water onsite by expanding the in ground tanks to treat the additional 150 acres. He
discussed the parking and traffic flow issues and also discussed the landscaping and
streetscaping options, including pocket parks with seating areas and public art. He
advised that the 11,500 square foot building on the south side will house the Panera
restaurant and will include a drive-thru, adding this will not impact traffic on the site and
no modifications are required under the PUD for this drive-thru. He also discussed the
public plazas and pedestrian walkways, pedestrian scale lighting that will help define the
City Council Meeting of January 6, 2014 (Item No. 4c)
Title: Minor Amendment to PUD for Construction Hours-Knollwood Mall, 8332 Hwy 7 Page 11
drive lanes and pedestrian walkways and advised that the required minimum parking of
2,059 spaces has been met with 2,175 spaces being proposed. He reviewed the
architectural materials that include glass, stone, brick, and stucco, adding there is a
possibility that some of the elevations along the front may change as tenants are
announced but staff will ensure that all City Code requirements are met prior to issuance
of building permits. He then introduced Mr. Kevin Connell, Vice President of
Development and Construction for Rouse Properties.
Councilmember Santa asked if the plaza outside of the area designated for Applebee’s is
for the general public or whether it will be for outside dining at Applebee’s. She also
asked about what the view will be for residents to the north looking at the mall.
Mr. Morrison replied that Applebee’s has indicated it is not interested in outdoor seating
at this time. He noted that all of the plaza area is private property. He explained there
are a number of trees along 36th Street and there is a possibility that some of those trees
will be lost when the sidewalk is installed. He added there would still be some lights on
the back of the building.
Councilmember Santa requested information about the storm water improvements and
stated she wanted to make sure that the storm water is dealt with appropriately. She
requested clarification that Rouse is not being asked to fund storm water retention for the
100+ acres around their site and is required to fund only their storm water improvements.
Mr. Morrison advised the proposal is for installation of a regional pond whether onsite or
offsite that brings in 125 acres in addition to Knollwood’s 37 acres and confirmed that
Rouse would only be required to pay for storm water improvements to their 37 acres.
Mr. Kevin Connell, Rouse Properties, advised that Rouse has a portfolio of 32 regional
shopping centers and has approximately 22 million square feet of retail space under
management. He stated Knollwood meets their criteria as a priority redevelopment and
they are targeting anchor or junior anchor type retailers with a goal to execute phase 1 of
the redevelopment on this eight-acre portion, to remerchandise the shopping center with
preferred retailers, to add new retail and food service opportunities, and to invigorate the
overall mall. He stated they are investing significant capital that will boost construction
spending in the area, as well as increase both short term and long term employment, and
they have gained significant momentum with retail prospects interested in a redeveloped
property, but they must act timely to retain existing tenants as well as capture new
tenants, adding they hope to initiate work in 2013 and to be in a position to start core
demolition by March 2014. He stated they are not opposed to the addition of the north
sidewalk and they have discussed moving the sidewalk to reduce the number of trees to
be removed and they will continue to work with City staff on that issue. He stated the
storm water management plan includes an on-site dry pond to accommodate the eight-
acre redevelopment project and Rouse feels this meets the technical requirements of the
PUD for storm water treatment as well as the new requirements for ten year storm events,
adding it was their preference to defer construction of that until some other options are
vetted out including the off-site solution. He stated they disagree with the City’s
interpretation of the 2004 PUD amendment that requires Rouse to execute a full-site
solution in two phases by October 2017, stating it was their contention that they are
redeveloping an eight-acre tract thus satisfying the on-site drainage solution for that eight
acres. He added Rouse will address the storm water issues with other projects on the site
but cannot be obligated to a $4 million obligation at this time because it would result in
an infeasible project; in addition, they are executing a project that has a thin margin and
as a publicly traded trust, they are not allowed by policy to report those costs until they
City Council Meeting of January 6, 2014 (Item No. 4c)
Title: Minor Amendment to PUD for Construction Hours-Knollwood Mall, 8332 Hwy 7 Page 12
have an approved project, so at this point they are not able to convey that specific
information until the Board has approved it. He noted they have offered to put up escrow
of two times the anticipated cost of the pond to allow them to move forward as they vet
out other solutions, but a $4 million obligation dramatically compromises the project.
Councilmember Sanger expressed concerns about the storm water and was disappointed
to hear that Rouse feels it does not have to come into compliance with the environmental
requirements of the PUD. She stated the 2004 PUD put Knollwood Mall on notice that it
would have to come into compliance with these requirements at the time of its next
project, but Rouse only wants to comply partially at this point and is arguing that it
cannot afford to put forth a standard letter of credit or other financial guarantee for the
whole project. She stated when Rouse took over this property, it had clear notice that this
property included a requirement to complete the storm water management for the entire
site. She felt the City was correct to require full compliance with the environmental
storm water conditions and to require Rouse to provide a letter of credit to make sure this
will be completed within the next four years. She pointed out that Rouse is a large,
financially successful company, and many smaller developers are required by the City to
provide a letter of credit.
Mr. Connell felt it was a matter of interpretation and reiterated Rouse’s argument that
they are in compliance with the eight acres being redeveloped at this time. He stated they
have a design solution for the eight acres and Rouse does not have a project at this time
for the balance of the site and does not have a means to fund that significant incremental
cost. He stated this project is in financial distress if it has a $4 million obligation for
storm water improvements, reiterating they are not against the storm water improvements
for the eight-acre area being redeveloped. He indicated they previously worked with staff
on other uses for the site but they do not know the timing of those phases but Rouse
understands the storm water requirements and Rouse will execute that work at that time,
adding he did not know if Rouse will have projects to cover this within four years.
Mr. Jim Tiggelaar, LHB Civil Engineers, approached the City Council and stated it is
very typical to do redevelopment commensurate with storm water. He indicated in this
case, Rouse is only developing eight acres of the 37-acre site so it is typical to only do
storm water management for the eight acres. He added he felt the language of the 2004
PUD was subject to wide interpretation.
Councilmember Santa stated that full storm water management on this site has been
repeatedly deferred and without at least some sort of guarantee and end date, she feared
the storm water management would be deferred again.
Councilmember Mavity requested further information about the financial commitment
offered by MCWD.
Mr. Mike Hayman, MCWD, approached the City Council and stated MCWD has been
forthcoming in offering a partnership, adding there is a large regional area that can be
redirected on the site or off-site. He indicated that any financial commitment would have
to be worked out, including the possibility of fronting the private developer’s costs or a
portion of costs for the regional treatment that was not required through the
redevelopment process and that would be moved from the site.
Mr. Scott clarified that the resolution with conditions as proposed provides for the first
stage of storm water improvements, which is the dry pond, and the second phase within
four years that requires Rouse to provide a plan for how to bring their site into
compliance with the PUD. He stated if Rouse wants to go on their own and come in with
City Council Meeting of January 6, 2014 (Item No. 4c)
Title: Minor Amendment to PUD for Construction Hours-Knollwood Mall, 8332 Hwy 7 Page 13
a plan separate and apart from MCWD, that would be fine, and the City is in no way,
shape, or form requiring Rouse to enter into any sort of agreement with MCWD. He
stated it was his understanding that working with MCWD was the most efficient and cost
effective way for Rouse to do an on-site underground system, but Rouse is not required to
work with MCWD and Council approval is not conditioned on any agreement with
MCWD.
Councilmember Sanger asked if Rouse would need to come in with a plan and construct
the second phase of the storm water treatment by October 2017.
Mr. Scott replied that this was correct and stated Rouse would need to construct the
second phase by October 2017 and provide a letter of credit to the City to make sure the
second phase is constructed.
It was moved by Councilmember Santa, seconded by Councilmember Sanger, to adopt
Resolution No. 13-138 amending and restating Resolution No. 04-054 adopted April 19,
2004, Granting an Amendment to an Existing Planned Unit Development for a Shopping
Center over 200,000 Square Feet with a Grocery Story Under Section 36-367 of the St.
Louis Park Ordinance Code Relating to Zoning for Property Zoned C-2 General
Commercial for Property Located at 8332 State Highway No. 7.
Mr. Connell requested clarification about what the letter of credit would need to entail.
He also expressed concern about the timeline for completing these improvements because
it could take 12-18 months to vet out the off-site solution.
Mr. Scott advised that the letter of credit would include the amount of the estimated cost
of completing the phase 2 storm water improvements to bring the 37-acre site into
compliance. He stated if Rouse can reach agreement with MCWD then the letter of
credit should include Rouse’s share of the cost of these improvements.
The motion passed 6-0 (Councilmember Ross absent).

3. Public Hearings
B. Knollwood Mall - PUD Major Amendment
Location: 8332 Highway 7
Applicant: Rouse Properties
Case No.: 13-28-PUD
Gary Morrison, Assistant Zoning Administrator, presented the staff report. The request
for a major amendment to the existing Planned Unit Development is to reconstruct a
portion of the mall, construct a new free standing commercial building, reconstruct a
section of the parking lot, and stormwater improvements.
Mr. Morrison spoke about stormwater requirements. He said there is a condition in the
existing PUD approval that requires that stormwater be brought up to code for the site
with future improvements affecting parking lot and construction. The Minnehaha Creek
Watershed District (MCWD) has proposed an opportunity to expand on Knollwood’s
stormwater obligations to convert it from a stormwater area that treats Knollwood
ponding, but also becomes more of a regional facility. Mr. Morrison said while that is
being pursued staff has asked the applicant to put together a fallback position. If the off-
site solution does not work, the city would need to see something that works on-site. The
fallback position would be approved as part of the current proposal. He reviewed two
proposed phases.
Chair Robertson noted that the Commission has had an opportunity to discuss the
proposal at a study session.
Commissioner Johnston-Madison asked for clarification about new docking stations. She
also asked about trees which will be removed for sidewalk on 36th St. She asked that
neighborhood leaders be notified about that tree removal.
Mr. Morrison spoke about the descending grade change at 36th Street. He added that
section of sidewalk has been a point of discussion in the Sidewalk and Trail Plan for over
a year.
Commissioner Morris asked if snow is removed or stored on site.
City Council Meeting of January 6, 2014 (Item No. 4c)
Title: Minor Amendment to PUD for Construction Hours-Knollwood Mall, 8332 Hwy 7 Page 15
Mr. Morrison responded it is both removed and stored on site. He said there will still be
room for on-site storage with the new construction.
Commissioner Morris commented that 36th St. is a one lane street that is extraordinarily
wide. He asked if the sidewalk could be widened by two feet.
Mr. Morrison said staff could discuss that with the Engineering Dept.
Commissioner Carper asked if there were discussions about increasing permeable surface
and LED lighting.
Mr. Morrison stated that the proposal decreases the impervious surface, primarily with
the landscaped islands. He said discussion about LED lighting has not occurred. He
said if an applicant can’t manage the landscaping on site there may be conversations
about lighting. He added if a property is subject to TIF or other municipal funds the city
will have some lighting requirements.
Commissioner Carper asked about transit from the proposed Blake Rd. LRT station to the
mall.
Mr. Morrison said pedestrian connections from Hwy. 7 to Knollwood will be improved.
He said there have been conversations about circular shuttle routes.
Kevin Connell, Rouse Properties, applicant, discussed the proposal.
Commissioner Carper presented personal recommendations to the applicant. These
included monuments or kiosks adjacent to the sidewalks with the ability for changeable
community displays; sculptural elements on plazas in addition to the primary public
sculpture; LED lighting; food trucks; and shuttle transport to/from the Blake Rd. LRT
station.
Commissioner Person asked about the City’s public art requirements for a site this size.
Mr. Morrison said the requirement is broader than art and includes landscaping, plazas,
and pedestrian walkways. Art is considered a physical improvement that occurs within
those areas. There isn’t a requirement for a certain value or certain number of pieces of
art. The city asked for an art element to cap the physical improvements and the applicant
has obliged.
Chair Robertson opened the public hearing.
Daniel O’Bresky, Subway Restaurant, 8127 Hwy. 7. Knollwood Mall, stated that he is
very excited about the project as the mall has needed some attention for awhile. He said
he is glad to see the changes to the drive-thru on Panera. He said he is concerned about
traffic lanes as the plaza and pedestrian areas will not be as easy to maneuver. He said
getting from one side of the mall to the other side will be far more challenging. Mr.
O’Bresky said he operates 18 restaurants in the Twin Cities and has a lot of experience
with being a tenant in large projects. He suggested that smoothing out the traffic lanes
will allow a better flow. He said the proposed turns and twists throughout the plan will
City Council Meeting of January 6, 2014 (Item No. 4c)
Title: Minor Amendment to PUD for Construction Hours-Knollwood Mall, 8332 Hwy 7 Page 16
lead to more accidents and pedestrian issues. He asked the developer to pay attention to
that as plans move forward.
Mr. O’Bresky stated that food trucks are a serious problem for the two downtown
restaurants he operates. He said as St. Louis Park moves forward with addressing food
trucks it needs to understand what is happening to restaurants. He said he has lost 10%
volume to food trucks in downtown Minneapolis. He added that in his area of operations
5% of the restaurants have closed due to food trucks. Mr. O’Bresky spoke about the
noise of food truck compressors, propane gas, and idling of trucks. He commented that
food trucks aren’t paying property taxes. He spoke about sales tax and income tax
reporting of food trucks.
Commissioner Person spoke about traffic flow discussions which were held at the study
session. He said the Commission was told that the future configuration would improve
traffic flow throughout the mall.
Chair Robertson stated that the flow is good up and through the site but traveling from
Target to Cub it does not look smooth, so it is something to consider.
Commissioner Morris said he recalled the Commission asking about the next stage east.
The developer would look at the east configuration for smoothing out the parking as step
two.
The Chair closed the public hearing as there was no one else present wishing to speak.
Chair Robertson said the comments on circulation were good and there would be
opportunity for tweaking plans. He stated that the proposal should move forward.
Commissioner Carper said the project looks excellent. He said he appreciated the study
sessions on the proposal.
Commissioner Morris made a motion to recommend approval of the Major Amendment
to the Knollwood Mall Planned Unit Development (PUD) subject to conditions
recommended by staff. Commissioner Carper seconded the motion, and the motion
passed on a vote of 5-0.

It was moved by Commissioner Peterson, seconded by Commissioner Keeler, to approve the
minutes of August 28, 2013, with one amendment. The motion passed 6-0.

City Council Meeting of January 6, 2014 (Item No. 4f) Page 2
Title: Telecommunications Commission Minutes October 23, 2013
A. Complaints
Mr. Dunlap explained that he’d followed up on complaint number 7, the one with the
missing DVD player. The customer said Comcast has given a $100 credit so she considers
the complaint resolved. Since there were other people helping the customer move, it was
not certain a Comcast technician took the DVD player, and the customer didn’t plan to use it
any more since she had a DVR installed. Mr. Dunlap suggested the customer look for You
Tube videos to demonstrate how to use the DVR effectively, and the customer liked that
idea because she has watched other You Tube training videos.
Chair Theobald asked about the total number of complaints and how they were trending.
Mr. Dunlap said there were 19 in the last two months, and in some years, they had received
a total of 50, so they seem to be up for the year. He will have a tally for the Commission to
review at the December meeting, when a Comcast customer service rep will be on hand to
field questions about customer service.
8. Communications from the Chair
Chair Theobald thanked Comcast for the tour and staff for their work. Commissioner Keeler
reminded the Commission about the MACTA conference coming up next week.
9. Communications from City staff
10. Adjournment
Chair Theobald adjourned the meeting at 8:55 p.m.

3. Unfinished Business
a. Edina Commission Discussion: Bill Sierks shared how the Edina Commission
works. Their main purpose is to Recommend and Educate. They have a staff
liaison. They look at dollars, time and resources to help them rank what is
important. They coordinate with other city commissions. They focus on only a
few key things each year to stay on track and get things done. Things they have
worked on are: Commercial Recycling, Residential Organics, Green City Projects
–most of this was about educating the community.
b. Alliance for Sustainability Discussion: Sean Gosiewski, Alliance for
Sustainability, explained what the Alliance does with cities. He gave examples of

Title: Environment and Sustainability Commission: Sustainable SLP Meeting Minutes of November 6, 2013
c. Work Plan Discussion: Mike Lamb brought information from the September
meeting. There were three parts to this exercise:
i. Commissioners put the areas they wanted to see the Commission work
on, using three index cards and one idea per card.
ii. Those ideas were then put on the wall, and Commissioners each had three
colored dots to vote on what they believed was the most important for
moving forward.
iii. There was dialogue around these items. Many in the group felt that this
process pointed toward the need for a more detailed community visioning
process, to direct the work of the Commission to reflect community needs.
Mike Lamb took this data and will bring back to the Commission in December.
There was also a handout on Sustainable SLP: Process and Organizational
Diagram Suggestions. It was agreed that the commission would not work with
this handout at this point in time and would keep it for the future.
4. New Business:
a. Term renewals were noted by staff liaison Gothberg for Mary Karius, Renee
McGarvey and Cindy Larson O’Neil. They will receive an email with a
Reappointment Status Form to complete and a deadline for returning it. This will
be completed in December and sent to City Council for approval on January 6.
b. December meeting will be held on the 11th due to conflicts of staff. The meeting
will be two hours and start at 6:30, which is a half hour earlier than previous
evening meetings.
5. Communications:
a. Commissioner Rachel Harris is completing her Master’s Degree and invited
Commissioners to attend her presentation.
b. Commissioner Cindy Larson O’Neil leased an electric car. If anyone wants to test

No. 13-17.
Mr. Heintz presented the staff report and stated that the HRA Levy Fund is being used to

Title: Economic Development Authority Meeting Minutes of December 16, 2013
EDA continue the HRA Levy at the maximum allowed by law for 2014, or $949,359,
which is an increase of $48,426 from the 2013 HRA Levy.
It was moved by Commissioner Sanger, seconded by Commissioner Jacobs, to adopt

Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.033, Subdivision 6, and Approval of a Final

7b. Fund Transfer. EDA Resolution No. 13-18.
Mr. Heintz presented the staff report and explained that a fund transfer of $500,000 is
recommended from the Park Center TIF District to the Housing Rehabilitation Fund to be
used for eligible housing programs. He pointed out that all of the previous obligations in
the Park Center TIF District have been satisfied consistent with the City’s long range
financial management plan.
It was moved by Commissioner Hallfin, seconded by Commissioner Sanger, to adopt
EDA Resolution No. 13-18 Authorizing Fund Transfer.
Commissioner Spano asked if the Housing Rehabilitation Fund was not designed to be
sustainable on its own long term and requested further information about the fund’s
sustainability challenges.
Mr. Heintz stated that the Park Center TIF District is generating a fair amount of tax
increment each year that is being used to fund some of the programs in the Housing
Rehabilitation Fund. He advised that City staff is reviewing expenditures in the fund and
considering ways to reduce or limit expenditures and is also reviewing the revenues for
this fund to address the long term sustainability challenges.
Mr. Harmening stated that the most significant challenge facing this Fund is the loss of
approximately $600,000 the City receives from issuing private activity revenue bonds,
the bulk of which currently comes from Park Nicollet.
The motion passed 6-0 (President Santa absent).
