Title: Pilot Program with Park Nicollet Healthcare/Methodist Hospital
DISCUSSION
Pilot Program with Park Nicollet Healthcare/Methodist Hospital; Post Discharge
Firefighter Visit
The efforts continue to develop and plan for a pilot program where the fire department plays an
integral role in reducing the readmissions of high risk patients.
The problem hospitals experience is the gap in time after the patient leaves the hospital and is
then seen by Home Care or goes to their first Primary Care visit. During this time the patient is
really left to their own devices and in some cases it is during this gap that something will happen
that causes the patient to access care through 911 (which we respond to) and is then readmitted.
In many cases the issue could have been easily resolved had a visit occurred in the home
environment prior to the 911 call. Examples of tasks that would benefit the patient are as
follows:
• Validate the patients understanding of their discharge orders.
• Confirming prescriptions match with what was prescribed.
• Did the patient actually pick up the prescription?
• Could be that some symptoms are normal and the patient needs reassurance.
• Does the patient have family or friends that are checking in?
These are just a few examples of the kind of positive impact having a resource showing up in this
window of time can deliver. By managing this pre-911 situation the patient gets to stay in the
home, Park Nicollet reduces their costs and the overall patient/resident experience is improved.
Why should the City and its Fire Department be involved?
The concept being discussed is for the City’s fire personnel to partner with Park Nicollet to
undertake the visits to certain patients shortly after their discharge to preventively address issues
that might result in another 911 call and re-admittance into the hospital. After considerable
research into this issue and our discussions with Park Nicollet’s team there were several benefits
identified either for the City and/or Park Nicollet by the City undertaking the initial home visits.
The following is a summary list:
• Prevent unnecessary 911 calls and the associated costs for which there is no offsetting revenue.
• Improve the lives of our residents, some of whom are our most vulnerable, consistent with
the City’s Health in the Park initiative, which is also a partnership with Park Nicollet.
• Firefighters are among the most trusted members within the care spectrum.
• Firefighters are licensed, vetted, uniformed, and dispatched.
• Firefighters have the necessary training, and the needs of these patients conform to the
scope of practice firefighters are trained to do.
• Fire operations are scalable and can meet the unpredictable demands on the system.
• St. Louis Park Fire Department is already seeing a number of these patients post 911.
• Provides potential revenue source to the City relating to the home visits.
The pilot is intended to determine whether this initiative and such a partnership makes sense.
The close partnership and relationship between the two organizations (the City and PNHC)
already affords access to improved services, and this will extend that list. The City’s focus on
Special Study Session Meeting of March 3, 2014 (Item No. 1) Page 3
Title: Pilot Program with Park Nicollet Healthcare/Methodist Hospital
community wellness and safer communities becomes an integral component of this program and
a revenue stream to recover costs and potentially fund future growth could become a reality.
Additionally, the Park Nicollet Foundation is extremely interested in discussing how they might
support this, including partnering with outside funding sources.
Currently
Park Nicollet along with City of St Louis Park personnel and other agencies are facilitating
planning meetings guided by the Lean process management structure. The purpose of these
meetings is to identify the needs and solutions for all concerned while moving towards a mock
patient visit and ultimately a go live date sometime in early April. The parameters including
timing, length of the pilot and outcome measurements will be defined as part of the planning
process.
As of this date there have been two 2 hour planning meetings in addition to work product being
produced in between each meeting. These meetings have centered on understanding the varied
questions, road blocks and benefits of a pilot of this type.
The next meeting is March 10th. It will be at this meeting where we define more closely the
patient check list, escalation matrix, documentation and other action items stemming from the
February 24th meeting.

Team Leader: Linda Bauermeister /
Patti Betlach
Park Nicollet has been part of the Pioneer ACO since 2011. For this, PN accepted
accountability for a population of Medicare Fee for Service patients. Our charge is to
improve care based on the triple aim - quality care at a low cost and positive patient
experience.
During this time, we also joined the RARE campaign. This state program’s goal was
to increase the number of nights that patients would be at home vs. the hospital as a
result of better discharge planning and patient preparation.
These readmission reduction programs lead to a lot of changes in the way that we
deliver care that include the following: Risk stratification for those patients at high risk
of readmission, Standardized care coordination/transitions/ handoffs, Post DC phone
calls 24-72 hours after DC, Senior Services after hours call program, Care team
redesign, Home care visits for patient who do not qualify for home care, Medication
reconciliation processes and pilot, and an improved After Visit Summary
A time in the patient process that continues to concern us is from the time that the
patient is discharged to the time that home care starts or the patient comes in for a
Hospital Discharge visit. This time has caused angst for home care as well as the
clinics and decisions are made based on a gut feeling as to “will the patient be OK
until x time?”
The SLP Fire Department approached PN about becoming a community partner and
using EMS to help decrease health care costs and improve the patient experience at
the pre-911 timeframe, thus potentially decreasing 911 calls (a possible success
measure).
Patient calls to 911 dispatch police, fire as well as the vehicles they drive and the
ambulance service- often times dispatching more than what the patient really needs.
An opportunity exists is to partner with the Fire Department around a Post Discharge
Visit.
They are already seeing our patients in a crisis situation. They can
prevent a patient “crisis” by completing a planned visit within the first 24 -48hours post
DC. .
There is a high percentage of EMT’s in the area that knows how to apply their skills for
this type of patient encounter.
Using the Fire Department allows for a quick scale up or down of resources with one
phone call as they have systems in place.
Similar work has been done by other systems with success: North Memorial has
reduced readmissions using Community Paramedics for planned visits related to
chronic disease and high ER utilization.

Mr. Harmening presented the staff report and stated that Mr. Koering has done outstanding work
since his arrival in November and was pleased with his leadership in the Fire Department.
Mr. Koering discussed the onboarding process and stated that one of the first priorities is to
develop a current set of standard operating guidelines. He advised that a process for developing
these guidelines has been established and five guidelines have been implemented to date, adding
that every month he will send out three to five guidelines for review so that by the end of the
year the Fire Department should have a complete set of standard operating guidelines. He stated
that other priorities include increased communication and succession planning for the
department. He indicated that the Fire Department will have some retirements during 2014 that
will create opportunities for people to move up within the department. He advised that the City’s
emergency operations plan is currently being reviewed and compared to the updated Hennepin
County plan documents. He indicated that final updates to the EOCs are planned for 2014 with
the goal of having the primary EOC at the police station. He discussed the implementation of
Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT) and advised that CERT team members are
community volunteers who are trained in basic disaster response skills and basic fire prevention,
as well as traffic control during community-wide events. He added that he recently learned
about some grant money that may be available to fund the development of CERT and agreed to
provide further information to Council regarding CERT in the near future.
Councilmember Lindberg expressed support for the CERT program and urged the City to make
sure it secures the necessary resources to fund this program if the grant funds are not available.
Councilmember Mavity stated the CERT program represents an opportunity to identify different
leaders within the community and felt it would be important to consider how the City recruits for
this program.
Mr. Koering provided an update regarding the pilot program being considered with Park Nicollet
in response to the Affordable Care Act whereby the Fire Department would schedule five or six
home visits per day to check on recently discharged patients with the goal of keeping these
people from being readmitted to the hospital or becoming high volume users of the emergency
response system. He stated that keeping these patients in their homes will improve the patient
City Council Meeting of March 3, 2014 (Item No. 3a) Page 2
Title: Special Study Session Minutes of February 18, 2014
experience and improve the brand of the City and the Fire Department. He explained that the
Fire Department would get a list of discharged patients and schedule visits with these patients to
check whether they have their prescriptions filled, verify discharge orders, and make sure the
patient is off to the right start until the home nurse comes to assure continuity of care and keep
them out of the emergency room, adding that if a patient does need to go back to the hospital, the
Fire Department can be on scene in acute situations more quickly than in the past. He stated that
staff believes this program represents a great partnership with Park Nicollet and there are a
number of fire departments looking into this type of program.
Mr. Harmening stated that the Affordable Care Act includes penalties to hospitals if patients are
readmitted to the hospital within the 30-day period following discharge and the pilot program is
intended to avoid re-admittance and to provide a better level of service to residents who are not
in an emergency situation. He stated that further work needs to be done on the program,
including the revenue the City would receive from Park Nicollet for providing this service,
adding that Park Nicollet is very interested in working with the City on this program. He noted
that conversations have also been taking place with the unions about the program.
Mr. Koering discussed the timeline for implementation of the pilot program and stated that a
complete test of the concept will take place on March 19, 2014, and suggested that he follow up
with Council after that time.
Mayor Pro Tem Sanger felt that Council needs to have a further discussion before agreeing to
implement the program.
Councilmember Mavity felt it would be informative to hear back from staff after the test on
March 19th and Council can make a determination at that point whether to proceed with the
program.
Mayor Pro Tem Sanger stated she would like further information about how this program would
impact the City’s ability to fight fires, as well as any additional costs to the City and whether
additional staff would be needed.
It was the consensus of the City Council to direct staff to bring this item back to Council for
further discussion in a Study Session on March 3.
The meeting adjourned at 7:32 p.m.

City Council Meeting of March 3, 2014 (Item No. 3b) Page 4
Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of February 18, 2014
8. Resolutions, Ordinances, Motions and Discussion Items
8a. First Reading – Zoning Ordinance Amendments Related to Anaerobic
Digesters.
Mr. Kelley presented the staff report and proposed Zoning Ordinance amendments to
allow anaerobic digesters in the I-G General Industrial zoning district and explained the
amendments are in response to a specific development concept presented by PLACE at
the site of the former McGarvey building that includes a suite of renewable energy
recourses including an anaerobic digester. He stated the digester is controlled
composting that occurs in an enclosed container within a controlled environment that
produces biogas to produce electricity or heat. He explained that the proposed CUP
conditions are based on PLACE’s concept project and include conditions related to truck
traffic, odor, and require that materials deposited from trucks take place in an enclosed
system inside the building. He presented photographs of the receiving bin and digester
unit, adding that additional conditions also address where material is coming from, how
energy is used, and what permitting is involved from other State or County agencies.
Councilmember Mavity expressed support for the digester and felt this project has the
potential to produce a pilot project that could be replicated in other areas. She asked if
this model has been used in other locations and also asked if the success of this project
was dependent on PLACE securing a contract for organics recycling or whether it stands
on its own. She also asked what leverage the City has to address any adverse smells
emanating from the site and whether the digester would be required to be removed if
housing does not occur as planned on the site.
Mr. Kelley replied that if nuisances occur, staff would go out and check the system to see
whether it is functioning as intended and if not, there are additional odor controlling
devices that could be required. He stated that staff has been told that during the initial
phase there would be odor control and air scrubbers in place and the City would not
require installation of additional devices during the initial phase because they may not be
needed, however, the City could require additional measures to control odor in the future
if the need arose. He added the City could also consider revoking the CUP if the
conditions are not met.
Mayor Pro Tem Sanger felt it would be better to add a condition that states no odor
should be detected beyond the digester so that the City has a clear method of enforcing
the ordinance and felt it was PLACE’s obligation to comply with that requirement.
Mr. Naresh Pallager 7602 South Bay Circle, Bloomington, appeared before the City
Council on behalf of PLACE and stated that there are similar digesters in place
successfully generating power.
Councilmember Mavity asked if there was still a market for this project if PLACE does
not secure a contract for organics recycling.
Mr. Pallager replied in the affirmative and stated PLACE might get a smaller quantity
than they anticipated and they are looking at other sources.
City Council Meeting of March 3, 2014 (Item No. 3b) Page 5
Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of February 18, 2014
Mr. Kelley stated that Council is being asked to amend the Zoning Ordinance to allow
anaerobic digesters in the I-G district and stated if a CUP was approved, then the digester
could operate on this site. He stated the City would likely not be able to add a condition
that requires construction of phase 2, adding that it appears it would not be economically
viable to operate only a digester on this site.
Councilmember Brausen asked if the City could require that all energy generated be used
on site.
Mr. Scott replied that the City could add that as a condition.
Mr. Kelley noted that in some cases, all of the electricity generated cannot be used on site
and they should be allowed to sell the excess electricity back into the grid.
Councilmember Lindberg stated he would like the City to promote the project, but was
concerned that if the City approved these standards, the City might find itself in the
position of deciding whether this is the actual use it wants to see and was hesitant to say
yes at this point.
Councilmember Mavity asked staff to further research whether the digester is an
appropriate use in an area where the City is trying to promote density.
Councilmember Spano felt that Council should set its allowable expectations for the
digester, e.g., no discernable odor, and allow PLACE to figure out how to meet those
expectations with the understanding that the City retains the ability to pull the CUP if
they do not meet all the requirements.
Mayor Pro Tem Sanger felt there should be no discernable noise at the nearest residential
property and requested this be included in the ordinance. She also requested further
information about truck traffic carrying the end products not used on site. She expressed
concern about potential fire hazards from the gases being produced and questioned
whether there should be an insurance requirement to deal with hazardous issues. She also
felt the City needed to find a way to tie the digester to the housing project and did not
think using the site for the digester alone was a good economic use of the property.
Councilmember Brausen suggested that Council consider creating a separate zoning
district for properties that qualify for placement of a digester so the City could determine
whether it should rezone a particular property for this purpose.
Ms. McMonigal stated the City has developed conditions for this type of use anywhere in
the I-G district and felt there were sufficient safeguards in place with the CUP process.
Councilmember Mavity stated she would prefer to approve first reading and have a study
session discussion to address Council’s ongoing concerns prior to second reading.
It was moved by Councilmember Spano, seconded by Councilmember Mavity, to approve
First Reading of Ordinance Amending the St. Louis Park Ordinance Code Relating to
Zoning by Amending Sections 36-4, 36-142, and 36-244, and to set Second Reading for
March 3, 2014.

The motion passed 6-0 (Mayor Jacobs absent).
8b. Law Enforcement Labor Services (LELS) Local #218 Police Sergeants Labor
Agreement 2014-2015. Resolution No. 14-031.
Ms. Deno presented the staff report and advised that the LELS Local #218 contract is a
two-year contract with a 2% wage increase for 2014 and a 2.5% wage increase for 2015
and the employer contribution for health insurance is consistent with other groups. She
stated this contract also includes assignment pay of $360, for crisis negotiators which is
the same amount provided to other staff assigned to the Emergency Response Unit and
the contract provides double time pay for unscheduled hours on Christmas and
Thanksgiving and is consistent with the Patrol and Local 49 groups.
It was moved by Councilmember Spano, seconded by Councilmember Brausen, to adopt
Resolution No. 14-031 Approving the Labor Agreement between the City of St. Louis
Park and Law Enforcement Labor Services, Local #218 Police Sergeants (January 1,
2014 – December 31, 2015).
The motion passed 6-0 (Mayor Jacobs absent).
8c. Law Enforcement Labor Services (LELS) Local #220 Dispatch Labor
Agreement 2014-2015. Resolution No. 14-032.
Ms. Deno presented the staff report and advised that the LELS Local #220 contract is a
two-year contract with a 2% wage increase for 2014 and a 2.5% wage increase for 2015,
the employer contribution for health insurance is consistent with other groups, and
provides double time for Christmas and Thanksgiving, consistent with the other union
groups. She stated that the Police Chief has requested special recognition for five
dispatchers who performed outstanding work under extreme staffing conditions and the
contract provides a one-time net payment of $250 to each of the five dispatchers.
Councilmember Mavity stated she was proud of the staff and proud of the City for
recognizing its employees. Other Councilmembers also agreed with Councilmember
Mavity and are appreciative of the work of dispatch staff.
It was moved by Councilmember Mavity, seconded by Councilmember Hallfin, to adopt
Resolution No. 14-032 Approving the Labor Agreement between the City of St. Louis
Park and Law Enforcement Labor Services, Local #220 Police Dispatchers (January 1,
2014 – December 31, 2015).
The motion passed 6-0 (Mayor Jacobs absent).
8d. Mayor Pro Tem Policy. Resolution No. 14-033.
Ms. Deno presented the staff report and proposed policy relating to the appointment of
the Mayor Pro Tem, which provides that the Mayor Pro Tem shall rotate every four
months with appointments based on seniority. She noted that if a question arose
regarding seniority with councilmembers elected at the same time, the rotation would be
based on alpha by last name.
Mayor Pro Tem Sanger asked what would happen if a councilmember had to resign.
Mr. Scott advised that if for any reason a councilmember were unable or unwilling to
serve as Mayor Pro Tem, the position would go to the next person based on seniority.
City Council Meeting of March 3, 2014 (Item No. 3b) Page 7
Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of February 18, 2014
Councilmember Spano stated the policy appears to state that if, for example,
Councilmember Brausen was Mayor Pro Tem and had to step down, Councilmember
Lindberg would step in and fill out the balance of Councilmember Brausen’s rotation as
Mayor Pro Tem and then serve his rotation as Mayor Pro Tem.
Ms. Deno stated that the policy provides that in the absence of the Mayor and Mayor Pro
Tem, the most senior available Councilmember will serve as Acting Mayor Pro Tem.
Mr. Harmening stated that staff would review the policy and clarify the issues raised.
It was moved by Councilmember Hallfin, seconded by Councilmember Spano, to direct
staff to add additional language regarding rotation to the proposed resolution amending
the St. Louis Park City Council Rules of Procedure Relating to the Appointment of the
Mayor Pro Tem.
The motion passed 6-0 (Mayor Jacobs absent).
It was moved by Councilmember Hallfin, seconded by Councilmember Spano, to adopt
Resolution No. 14-033 Amending and Restating Resolution 14-003 Regarding
Appointment of Councilmembers to the Office of Mayor Pro Tem.
The motion passed 6-0 (Mayor Jacobs absent).
9. Communications
Mayor Pro Tem Sanger stated the City’s streets are becoming very narrow due to all the
snow with some streets becoming impassable and the City is implementing a mandatory
system of parking only on the odd side of those streets that are the most difficult.
Mr. Harmening stated the City will be sending out notification to property owners who
will be affected by the parking restrictions and signs will be posted later this week.
Mayor Pro Tem Sanger stated the City recognizes this will cause some inconvenience
and the City does not take this step lightly, but the City has the responsibility to keep its
roads open and accessible. She stated that once the signs are posted, the City can enforce
the parking restriction and vehicles will be ticketed and towed. She thanked residents for
their cooperation and stated these restrictions will be in effect until the end of the winter.
Mayor Pro Tem Sanger reminded residents of the annual home improvement fair on
February 23rd at Eisenhower Community Center in Hopkins from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Mr. Harmening reminded residents of the Health in the Park community meeting on

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
$2,000 for all related expenses, for Jim Vaughan, Environmental Coordinator, to attend the 2014
International Society of Arboriculture Conference in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
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 2014 Arboriculture Conference in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, July31 -
August 6, 2014. 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 $2,000.
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 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 Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
VISION CONSIDERATION: St. Louis Park is committed to being a connected and engaged
community.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Bin & Keg, LLC, Conditional Use Permit (CUP)/Variance – 8128 Minnetonka Blvd.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
• Motion to Adopt Resolution approving a 76 foot variance to allow a Restaurant with
Intoxicating Liquor License to be located 24 feet from a parcel zoned Residential instead
of the required 100 feet.
• Motion to approve Conditional Use Permit to allow a Restaurant with Intoxicating Liquor
License with conditions as recommended by Staff.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Is the proposed Variance and CUP consistent with the zoning
ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan?
SUMMARY: The subject property is a tenant space in the Texa-Tonka Mall located adjacent to
the YESmart, and was previously occupied by the New York Bagel business that closed
approximately 10 years ago. The applicant is not proposing to make any exterior changes.
The subject property is zoned C-2, General Commercial. Restaurants with intoxicating liquor
are allowed in this district with conditions. One of the conditions is that it must be located at
least 100 feet from a parcel that is zoned Residential. The proposed restaurant will be located 24
feet from a residential property to the north, therefore, the variance was requested.
A floor plan and menu was included with the application, and is attached to this report. The
restaurant will provide cooked to order seasonal food, and provide a wide variety of locally
crafted beer on tap. The floor plan shows seating for up to 67 people with 17 of those seats at a
bar.
An intoxicating liquor license is required for this proposal. The background check for the liquor
license is not complete at this time; therefore, the CUP/Variance application is proceeding to the
Council separate from the liquor license application. The applications have to be separated
because State law requires all zoning applications, including CUPs and variances to be answered
by the City Council within 120 days from the date the application was submitted. The 120 days
expires on March 15, 2014. The March 3, 2014 City Council meeting is the last meeting before
the 120 days expires. The 120 day limit does not apply to the liquor license review.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: Not applicable
VISION CONSIDERATION: Not applicable.

dine. It will feature gourmet bar food with a wide selection of beer on tap, many of which will
come from local Minnesota breweries. The restaurant will use fresh ingredients and a cook to
order concept.
The proposed restaurant will be located in the west side of Texa-Tonka Mall, adjacent to the
Yesmart. It is approximately 5,140 square feet in area, and is proposed to have 67 seats.
Location:
Zoning Regulations:
Comprehensive Plan: Commercial
Current Zoning: C-2 General Commercial
Existing Use: Former New York Bagel tenant space located in the
Texa-Tonka Mall.

Title: Bin & Keg, LLC, Conditional Use Permit (CUP)/Variance – 8128 Minnetonka Blvd.
ZONING ANALYSIS – CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT:
Restaurant with Intoxicating Liquor License:
Restaurants with an Intoxicating Liquor License are permitted in the C-2 Zoning District by
Conditional Use Permit. The Restaurant must have a full service kitchen capable of:
1. Preparing food on-site from fresh ingredients.
2. Serving the food in individual portions for consumption on-site.
3. Meeting all building and health code requirements.
The floor plan submitted with the application shows sufficient detail to confirm that the
restaurant meets the parking requirements and that there is a kitchen. The plan does not,
however, confirm that there is sufficient space for a full-service kitchen that meets all building
and health code requirements. A more detailed plan, drafted by an architect, will be required for
the City building permit and County health code review. The plan will also have to conclusively
show that the menu presented to the Council for review under the CUP approval can be prepared
in the kitchen plan submitted for building and health code review.
A copy of the proposed menu and description of the restaurant is attached.
The conditions of approval of the CUP should include the following:
1. A detailed floor plan and kitchen plan, prepared by a licensed architect, shall be
submitted to the City Inspections Department and County Health Department for review
and approval.
2. The kitchen plan must show that the menu presented to the City Council for Conditional
Use Permit approval, and attached herein as “Exhibit A” can be prepared in the proposed
kitchen. The menu may change without further review by the City; however, the menu
must remain consistent in form and substance as that shown in the attached exhibit.
Liquor License:
Bin & Keg, LLC applied for an Intoxicating Liquor License in November of 2013. The
application is currently being reviewed by the City Clerk’s office, and the background check is in
process. Typically the Liquor License application and the CUP for the restaurant would be on
the same City Council agenda, however, the CUP and Variance is subject to a State mandated
timeline that the liquor license is not. The State requires the City to respond to all zoning
applications such as Conditional Use Permits and Variances within 120 days. The application is
deemed approved if the City Council does not approve the application within the 120 days. The
120 days for the Bin and Keg CUP and Variance applications expire on March 15. Therefore,
the applications must be heard by the City Council on March 3rd since it is the last City Council
meeting prior to the March 15th deadline. This also means that the City Council cannot table
consideration of these applications without written consent from the applicant. To date, the
applicant has not authorized an extension. He would like the City Council to act on the CUP and
Variance applications on the March 3rd meeting.
Therefore, the conditions of approval of the CUP should include a condition requiring approval
of the intoxicating liquor license applied for by Bin & Keg, LLC in November of 2013.
City Council Meeting of March 3, 2014 (Item No. 8a) Page 4
Title: Bin & Keg, LLC, Conditional Use Permit (CUP)/Variance – 8128 Minnetonka Blvd.
Parking:
Per the zoning ordinance, the restaurant requires 72 parking spaces. The entire mall, with the
proposed restaurant and the existing Than Do restaurant, requires 299 parking spaces.
There are a total of 326 parking spaces available. 172 parking spaces are located in front of the
Texa Tonka Mall. Another 154 spaces are located off-site, on the east side of Texas Avenue,
across the street from the mall. These off-site spaces are owned by the owner of the Texa Tonka
mall, and are held for required parking for the mall.
Staff finds that parking requirements are met.
Conditional Use Permit-Conditions of Approval:
Restaurants with intoxicating liquor license are allowed in the C-2 General Commercial zoning
district by CUP with some conditions specific to this use. A review of the conditions follows:
a. Access shall be to a roadway identified in the comprehensive plan as a collector or arterial
or shall be otherwise located so that access can be provided without generating significant
traffic on local residential streets.
Access is to Minnetonka Blvd and Texas Ave. Minnetonka Blvd is Arterial Minor Reliever,
and Texas is a Minor Collector. This condition is satisfied.
b. Buildings shall be located a minimum of 100 feet from any parcel that is zoned residential
and used or subdivided for residential or has an occupied institutional building including but
not limited to a school, religious institution or community center.
The space in the mall occupied by the proposed restaurant is located 24.1 feet from a parcel
zoned residential. The proposed restaurant does not meet this condition, and a variance
request is included as part of the requested CUP. An analysis for the variance application is
below, following the CUP analysis.
c. Separate pedestrianways shall be constructed to allow for the separation of pedestrian and
vehicular movements within the parking lot.
There is a sidewalk along the entire front of the mall that will safely conduct pedestrians to
the restaurant from the parking lot, including the off-site parking lot. There is also a
sidewalk along Minnetonka Blvd and Texas Ave. This condition has been met.
d. The use is in conformance with the comprehensive plan including any provisions of the
redevelopment chapter and the plan by neighborhood policies for the neighborhood in which
it is located and conditions of approval may be added as a means of satisfying this
requirement.
The property is guided commercial in the comprehensive plan, and it is located in the Texa
Tonka Neighborhood. The Texa Tonka plan by neighborhood chapter of the Comprehensive
plan calls for:
1. Continued efforts to revitalize and redevelop the Texa Tonka commercial node.
2. Encourage the addition of neighborhood-oriented retail businesses such as a small
grocery store, coffee shop and pub.
The proposed restaurant is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan and Plan by
Neighborhood policies.

ZONING ANALYSIS - VARIANCE:
The following variance is requested:
A 76 foot variance to allow a Restaurant with Intoxicating Liquor License to locate 24 feet
from a parcel zoned residential instead of the required 100 feet.
Below is an analysis of the proposal based on the City’s criteria for granting variances found in
Section 36-34 of the Zoning Ordinance.
Consideration of the effect of the proposed variance upon the health, safety and welfare of
the community.
The restaurant is proposed to locate within the existing Texa Tonka mall, and the closest
residential property is located behind the mall. The restaurant is oriented toward Minnetonka
Boulevard with the primary entrance facing Minnetonka Boulevard, placing the activity of the
restaurant away from the residential properties behind. The parking lot is also on the front side
of the mall, opposite the residential properties. The parking lot has direct access to Minnetonka
Blvd and Texas Ave, so traffic should not impact the residential properties.
Staff finds this criterion has been satisfied.
The request is in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the ordinance.
The request is in keeping with the general purpose and intent of the ordinance. Staff believes the
intent of the ordinance is to provide a buffer between residential areas and uses with potential
noise and traffic impacts. This restaurant with intoxicating liquor license use is located in a mall
with the primary entrance fronting Minnetonka Boulevard. Additionally, the parking lot is
between the mall and Minnetonka Boulevard. The area between the mall and the residential
properties behind is a private service alley that is currently used for the other businesses within
the mall.
Staff finds this criterion has been satisfied.
The request is consistent with the comprehensive plan.
The request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan as demonstrated below:
Section IV, Goal 4 of the Comprehensive Plan states: Preserve and revitalize neighborhood
commercial nodes that provide essential neighborhood commercial services, unique
neighborhood identity, and neighborhood gathering opportunities.
Section F. Plan By Neighborhood – Texa Tonka Neighborhood Improvement Opportunities
states: Continue to revitalize and redevelop the Texa-Tonka commercial node; and Encourage
the addition of neighborhood-oriented retail businesses in commercial nodes, such as a small
grocery store, coffee shop, pub.
Allowing this use to locate in the Texa Tonka mall provides a neighborhood gathering
opportunity, removes a vacant storefront and contributes to the vitality of the Texa Tonka mall.
Staff finds this criterion has been satisfied.
City Council Meeting of March 3, 2014 (Item No. 8a) Page 6
Title: Bin & Keg, LLC, Conditional Use Permit (CUP)/Variance – 8128 Minnetonka Blvd.
There are practical difficulties in complying with the Zoning Ordinance. Practical
difficulties are defined as follows:
1. The property owner proposes to use the property for a land use permitted in the zoning
district in which the land is located.
The applicant is requesting to open a restaurant with intoxicating liquor, which is permitted
with a Conditional Use Permit in the zoning district.
2. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the
landowner.
The plight is the result of the zoning ordinance requiring a 100 ft. distance between the use
and residentially zoned properties, and the applicant is proposing the use in an existing
building as opposed to new construction. The use would be located within an existing mall
which currently contains businesses serving alcohol. The mall building provides a buffer
between the primary entrance to the restaurant and the parking lot.
3. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality.
The proposed use is to be located within an existing mall which currently houses other
businesses such as: restaurants, a convenient store and a bowling alley. The addition of this
restaurant would provide a unique dining and public gathering option in the area, while
coalescing with the character of the Texa Tonka mall.
4. Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties.
Major considerations for the variance are for consistency with the character of Texa Tonka
Mall and the Comprehensive Plan.
5. Practical difficulties include inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems.
This is not applicable.
Staff finds that these criteria, as applicable, are met.
Neighborhood Meeting:
The applicant held a neighborhood meeting on December 5, 2013 at City Hall. Notices were
mailed out to property owners within 350 feet of the subject property and the neighborhood
leaders of the Texa Tonka, Aquila and Oak Hill neighborhoods were notified.
There were six residents in attendance. All spoke in favor of the proposed concept and welcomed
this addition to the neighborhood.
Planning Commission:
A public hearing was conducted on December 18, 2013. Neighbors spoke in favor of the
application. The Commission voted (5-0) to recommend approval of the requested CUP and
variance. A copy of the minutes is attached for review.

ZONED AND USED. THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT 8128 MINNETONKA
BOULEVARD
BE IT RESOLVED BY the City Council of St. Louis Park, Minnesota:
Findings
1. On November 15, 2013, Bin & Keg LLC applied for a variance from the requirements of
Section 36-194(4)(b) of the Zoning Ordinance to allow a 24 foot setback instead of the
required 100 feet between a Restaurant with Intoxicating Liquor License and Residential
Zoned and Used property. The property is located in the C-2 Zoning District at the
following location, to-wit:
Par 1: Lots 24, 25, 27 and 28, Block 4 Texa-Tonka Addition.
Par 2: Tracts A, B and C, Registered Land Survey No. 176, Hennepin County,
Minnesota.
Par 3: The West 130 feet of the North 160 feet of the East 210 feet of the South 293 feet
of all that part of the Southeast Quarter of the Southeast Quarter of Section 7, Township
117, Range 21 commencing at the Northwest corner of the Southeast Quarter of the
Southeast Quarter of said Section; thence East along the North line of said Southeast
Quarter of Southeast Quarter a distance of 438.5 feet; thence turning South at right angles
and running to the South line of said Southeast Quarter of Southeast Quarter; thence West
along said South line a distance of 437.8 feet to the Southwest corner of said southeast
Quarter of Southeast Quarter; thence North to place of beginning, excepting therefrom
the Great Northern Railroad right of way, said right of way being a strip of land 100 feet
wide, being 50 feet wide on each side of the center line of the railway of the Great
Northern Railway as now constructed across said land.
Par 4: Lots 14, 16, 17, 18. 19. 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, and 27 and Lot 15, except that
part thereof lying Southeasterly of a line drawn from a point on the South line of said lot
line distant 18 feet West of the Southeast corner of said Lot 15 to a point on the East line
of said Lot distant 18 feet North of said Southeast corner.
All in Block 2, Texa-Tonka Addition.
2. On December 18, 2013, the Planning Commission held a public hearing, received
testimony from the public, discussed the application and moved approval of a variance to
reduce the required 100 foot setback for a restaurant with intoxicating liquor license to a
residential property.
3. The Planning Commission has considered the effect of the proposed variance upon the
health, safety and welfare of the community, existing and anticipated traffic conditions,
light and air, danger of fire, risk to the public safety, the effect on values of property in
the surrounding area, and the effect of the proposed variance upon the Comprehensive
Plan.
City Council Meeting of March 3, 2014 (Item No. 8a) Page 8
Title: Bin & Keg, LLC, Conditional Use Permit (CUP)/Variance – 8128 Minnetonka Blvd.
4. Because of conditions on the subject property and surrounding property, it is possible to
use the property in such a way that the proposed variance will not impair an adequate
supply of light and air to the adjacent property, unreasonably increase the congestion in
the public streets, increase the danger of fire, endanger the public safety, unreasonably
diminish or impair health, safety, comfort, morals, or in any other respect be contrary to
the intent of the Zoning Ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan.
5. The special conditions applying to the structure or land in question are peculiar to such
property or immediately adjoining property and do not apply generally to other land or
structures in the district in which such land is located.
6. There are practical difficulties in complying with the Zoning Ordinance. The proposed
use will be located in an existing mall, and the existing building serves as a buffer
between the residential neighborhood and the front entrance of the proposed restaurant.
7. The contents of Planning Case File 13-41-VAR are hereby entered into and made part of
the public hearing record and the record of decision of this case.
8. Under the Zoning Ordinance, this variance shall be deemed to be abandoned, revoked, or
canceled if the holder shall fail to complete the work on or before one year after the
variance is granted.
9. Under the Zoning Ordinance, this variance shall be revoked and cancelled if the building
or structure for which the variance is granted is removed.
CONCLUSION
The application for the variance to allow a restaurant with intoxicating liquor license to be located
24 feet from a property zoned residential and used for residential purposes instead of the required
100 feet is granted based upon the findings set forth above, and with the following conditions:
1. The variance shall be null and void if the liquor license applied for by Bin & Keg, LLC in
November of 2013 is not approved by the City Council.
2. The variance shall be null and void if the use is discontinued for more than one year.
3. The variance is applicable to that portion of the mall proposed to be occupied by Bin & Keg,
LLC as represented in the attached floor plan labeled “Exhibit A”. The restaurant cannot be
expanded in floor area without further amending this variance.
The City Clerk is instructed to record certified copies of this resolution in the Office of the
Hennepin County Register of Deeds or Registrar of Titles as the case may be.

A. Conditional Use Permit and Variance
Location: 8128 Minnetonka Boulevard
Applicant: Bin & Keg LLC (Brent Olson)
Case No.: 13-40-CUP and 13-41-VAR
Ryan Kelley, Associate Planner, presented the staff report. The application is for an
American Grill restaurant with intoxicating liquor license at Texa Tonka Mall. A 76 foot
variance is also requested to allow a restaurant with intoxicating liquor license to be
located 24 feet from a parcel zoned Residential instead of the required 100 feet. Mr.
Kelley reviewed staff findings regarding the site orientation which results in impacts to
the residential properties being minimal and meeting the intent of the ordinance
condition. He discussed how the application would meet the intent of the
Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Kelley noted that there is consistency with an existing
approved restaurant with intoxicating liquor at Thanh Do which is within the same Texa
Tonka mall.
Mr. Kelley spoke about the neighborhood meeting that was held on December 5, 2013.
He said the residents in attendance at the neighborhood meeting spoke in favor of the
proposed concept. Mr. Kelley noted that one letter of support was received and is
included in the staff report. He added that one phone call was received from a resident
opposing the project. That resident is located to the southeast of the mall, across
Minnetonka Blvd.
Commissioner Carper asked if the Thanh Do restaurant needed a variance for its liquor
license based upon its location.
Mr. Kelley responded that in 1999 a variance and a conditional use permit were granted
for the space now occupied by Thanh Do. Thanh Do met those same conditions.
Commissioner Kramer asked if the Indian restaurant and Texa Tonka Lanes at the mall
required a variance for intoxicating liquor license.

Title: Bin & Keg, LLC, Conditional Use Permit (CUP)/Variance – 8128 Minnetonka Blvd.
Mr. Kelley said beer and wine is permitted in the C2 District without the distance
requirement. The Indian restaurant has beer and wine only. Texa Tonka Lanes does
have an intoxicating liquor license and conditional use permit. He said he would have to
check on the variance. Texa Tonka Lanes is within 100 ft. of the residential to the north.
Brent Olson, applicant, said the concept intent is for full liquor, wine and a feature of 15-
20 fine craft beers on tap. It’s intended to be a full service restaurant with an upscale,
urban concept. The intoxicating liquor will be an option at the bar, but not a feature.
Mr. Olson said he is hoping to open in March.
Chair Robertson opened the public hearing.
Brandon Gallagher Watson, 2912 Texa Tonka Ave., stated that a couple of months ago
he and his wife hosted a neighborhood gathering, which included Councilmember Santa,
looking at what they as citizens could be doing to improve the look and feel of the
community. Mr. Watson said the proposed upscale bar/grill is perfect and he hopes it
kicks off the revitalization of the Texa Tonka area.
Josh Grossman, representing Fine Properties of MN, said he wanted to reassert the
support of Fine Properties as mentioned in the letter included in the staff report.
Commissioner Kramer asked that the message be passed along that more development is
encouraged at the mall.
Thomas Walker, 2953 Texa Tonka Ave., said his property is the parcel which is 24 ft.
from the proposed restaurant. He said he and his wife have met with the owner and they
are very impressed and look forward to the development. He asked that the Planning
Commission approve the request.
Brett Brown, 2940 Virginia Ave. S., said an issue which has been brought up to the city
before is the traffic which will go around the loop. He spoke about the problem of
turning in from Minnetonka to Virginia and then to Texas. He said Fine Mgmt. was
supposed to comply with having some type of a stop system or parking barrier within the
parking lot. It’s been proposed to change the exit and entrance to Virginia. Mr. Brown
said he is in favor of rejuvenating the whole area but on-going parking concerns should
be addressed and complied with by Fine Management.
Chair Robertson closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Morris stated that he is hearing that it is good to have a new business but
the site itself is in need of improvement. He said the parking situation is bad. There is no
parking striping or greenscape. The traffic situation getting in and out is abysmal. He
asked at what stage in redevelopment of Texa Tonka with new tenants does the city get
involved with site development and issues of parking and traffic management.
Meg McMonigal, Planning and Zoning Supervisor, responded that staff will talk with the
applicant and property owner about those issues prior to the City Council meeting to take
a closer look and see if something could be done; particularly regarding striping and clear
traffic patterns. She said that could be a condition of a conditional use permit.

Title: Bin & Keg, LLC, Conditional Use Permit (CUP)/Variance – 8128 Minnetonka Blvd.
Commissioner Morris said he understood that Minnetonka Blvd. is a county road, but
possibly the ingress and egress on Mtka. Blvd. could be moved down more to allow for
better ingress. The divided roadway on Texas is prohibitive for getting in and out.
Commissioner Morris said if this were a stand-alone site and the developer was
proposing to bring in a strip mall and we were looking at the existing traffic and parking
situations, we’d be saying this has to be improved. At some point the property owner has
to bring a better site plan into the city.
Chair Robertson said he agreed with Commissioner Morris’ comments completely. He
said additional traffic worries are justified.
Commissioner Kramer remarked that he is in favor of the applicant’s proposal. He said
historically he didn’t see the property owner making changes on that property voluntarily.
It needs to be a mandated requirement.
Commissioner Morris made a motion recommending approval of the Conditional Use
Permit to allow a restaurant with intoxicating liquor license and a 76 foot variance to
allow a restaurant with intoxicating liquor license to be located 24 feet from a
residentially zoned parcel instead of the required 100 feet. He added to his motion the
additional comment that as the site continues to utilize its rental/retail space the
Commission agrees that it’s a unique situation and there is no reason to penalize
businesses or the community from having a vibrant type of entity. He added a condition
that staff takes a serious look at future development of the Texa Tonka Mall as to the
traffic and parking conditions that exist there.
Commissioner Kramer seconded the motion to recommend approval with comment and
condition, and the motion passed on a vote of 5-0.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Project Report: Municipal State Aid Project – Pennsylvania Avenue – Project No.
2016-1100
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
• Motion to Adopt Resolution accepting the project report, establishing Improvement
Project No. 2016-1100, approving plans and specifications, and authorizing
advertisement for bids for Improvement Project No. 2016-100.
• Motion to Adopt Resolution authorizing installation of “No Parking” restrictions on
Pennsylvania Avenue between Wayzata Boulevard and Franklin Avenue.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does the City Council wish to continue implementation of the
City’s Pavement Management Program?
SUMMARY: Each year the City rehabilitates several miles of local residential streets. This
particular street is a Municipal State Aid (MSA) street. The street rehabilitation work generally
consists of removing and replacing the existing bituminous pavement, curb and gutter, and
watermain. Other work includes storm sewer and concrete repairs. Access to properties is
typically maintained throughout construction.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: This project was planned for and is
included in the City’s adopted Capital Improvement Program with an estimated budget of
$395,000. This amount of financing estimated assumed that the street would be rehabilitated
with a mill and overlay. Due to the condition of the street, concrete curb, and the need to replace
the watermain, a full depth rehabilitation is necessary. Project funding will be provided by two
sources, Municipal State Aid, for the street work and the Water Utility Fund for the watermain
work. The engineer’s estimated cost of the project is $871,965.63 which includes 10% for
contingencies and 15% for engineering & administration
Cost and funding details are as follows:
Estimated Costs
Construction Cost $ 697,572.50
Contingencies (10%) $ 69,757.25
Engineering & Administration (15%) $ 104,635.88
Total $ 871,965.63
Funding Sources
Municipal State Aid $ 585,384.38
Water Utility Fund $ 286,581.25

DISCUSSION
BACKGROUND:
The 2014 MSA Street Project, Project No. 2016-1100, is located on Pennsylvania Avenue from
Wayzata Boulevard to Franklin Avenue. The project includes installation of water main, curb
and gutter replacement, and bituminous replacement. Pennsylvania Avenue is an MSA road. In
order to use MSA funds to reconstruct the street, the new road must meet MSA standards.
The selection of Pennsylvania Avenue was based on previous condition surveys of the streets
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 soil borings for Pennsylvania Avenue show that the road was constructed with a uniform
section of 4 inches of bituminous over silty sand/ gravelly base. Staff has determined that an
appropriate treatment for rehabilitating the streets consists of removing old asphalt pavement and
replacing it with four inches of new pavement over 8 inches of Class 5 aggregate base. This will
meet the 10 ton road design required by MSA standards.
The majority of the street is 32 feet wide. To meet MSA standards, parking is only allowed on
one side of a 32 foot wide road. To allow parking on both sides, the street would need to be
widened to 38 feet wide. Staff took a look at the road and the existing driveways and determined
that widening the street to accommodate parking on both sides would create steeper driveways
and require the removal of a number of mature trees. As a result, staff is proposing to keep the
road width as 32 feet and establish additional parking restrictions.
Between 13th Lane and 14th Street the road is only 30 feet wide. This segment will be widened
by two feet in order to accommodate parking on one side of the street.
Parking restrictions were discussed with the property owners during the public meeting; a full
discussion of the restrictions is in the “Public Process” section below. A no parking resolution is
attached for City Council approval.
The Engineering Staff has prepared plans and specifications for this year’s project. In
conjunction with the pavement replacement, watermain will also be replaced from Franklin
Avenue to 14th Street. During the installation of the new watermain, water service will be
maintained to each of the properties through a temporary system. Along with replacing the water
main, the residents on this street will have the option of replacing their water service line, at their
expense, from the main to the shut-off valve located at the property line. The city’s contract will
include items for this work. The bid price on these items will be charged against those properties
choosing to replace their water service line. Owners will be requested to prepay or be specially
assessed this cost. Owners may also opt to arrange to do this work utilizing their own hired
contractor, provided it does not interfere with or delay work on the city contract. Other utility
work will include curb and catch basin repairs and hydrant replacement at various locations
throughout the project.

Title: Municipal State Aid Project – Pennsylvania Avenue – Project No. 2016-1100
Utility companies have been contacted to inform them of the city’s proposed work plan and
schedule. For those companies that have buried utilities, staff has asked them to consider
replacing any aging systems prior to our paving of the streets. Centerpoint Energy has indicated
they will be replacing gas main lines and services on Pennsylvania Avenue. Centerpoint Energy
typical begins their gas main work in mid to late April about a month prior to the start of the
street work.
Public Process:
Staff invited the property owners that live on Pennsylvania to an open house to review the
preliminary plans for the proposed street construction work on January 18, 2014. Five residents
attended. 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. The main topic of
discussion was parking; the property owners requested that we do what we can to maximize the
number of stalls available on the street.
The initial proposal for parking restrictions was to restrict parking on the west side of the street
for the entire length of the project. Staff responded to the feedback from the property owners by
making some changes to the “no parking” areas to get the most available parking stalls. The
proposed parking restrictions are as follows:
• No parking on the west side of Pennsylvania Avenue from Wayzata Boulevard to W.
16th Street.
• No parking on the east side of Pennsylvania Avenue from Wayzata Boulevard to 1333
Pennsylvania Avenue.
• No parking on the east side of Pennsylvania Avenue from W. 16th Street to Franklin
Avenue.
A letter was sent out updating the property owners of the modifications to parking in early
February along with the attached parking exhibit.
Project Timeline:
Should the City Council approve this Project, the following schedule is proposed:
• Approval of Plans/Authorization to Bid by City Council March 3, 2014
• Advertise for bids Mid-Late March, 2014
• Bid Opening April 10, 2014
• Bid Tab Report to City Council; Award contract April 21, 2014
• Begin Construction Late May, 2014
The project is anticipated to last approximately 4 months. During this work, residents will nearly
always have access to their driveways and overnight parking will be allowed on both sides of the
street. However, driveways will not be accessible for 7 days where concrete aprons are replaced.
