Meeting: Special Study Session Meeting Date: April 7, 2014 Discussion Item: 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY TITLE: Task Force for South Side of Excelsior Boulevard Design Guidelines Process RECOMMENDED ACTION: Select and appoint 12-15 members to the Task Force for the South Side of Excelsior Boulevard Design Guidelines Process POLICY CONSIDERATION: Who does the City Council wish to appoint as members to the Task Force for the creation of Design Guidelines for the South Side of Excelsior Boulevard from Quentin Avenue east to France Avenue? SUMMARY: Last fall the City Council directed that staff undertake a process for creating development design guidelines for the south side of Excelsior Blvd, east of Hwy 100. This direction was provided as a result of the proposed redevelopment of the gas station site at Natchez Ave and Excelsior Blvd. Staff has retained LHB, Inc., and SRF Consulting Group to help create the design guidelines for the south side of Excelsior Boulevard between Quentin and France Avenues. LHB is facilitating the process with the local community to create design guidelines as this area continues to receive development and redevelopment pressures. Developing “Design Guidelines” has been a useful tool for the City and neighboring community in anticipating future changes. A kick-off meeting was held on Wednesday, March 19th. Thirty neighbors and property owners attended and participated in a workshop to envision the future of this area. The process includes assembling a Task Force of 12-15 area residents and affected property owners and businesses. The Task Force will meet 4-6 times to provide information and input on the guidelines. The process is expected to take approximately 4-6 months and be completed mid to late summer. Attached are completed forms from 25 applicants, along with a map showing the addresses of the interested parties. Applicants include a mix of residential and commercial neighbors and a few property owners within the study area. In at least two cases there are two applicants from the same household. Staff suggests that only one member per household be appointed (the other could be an alternate for that member.) The limitation to 12-15 is to be most efficient in completing the work; more than this number can become unwieldy and people often feel it is less important to attend and participate, which can dilute the process. FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: The consultant fee for this process is $70,000. VISION CONSIDERATION: St. Louis Park is committed to being a connected and engaged community.

Future Study Session Agenda Planning – March 17 and 24, 2014 Mr. Harmening presented the proposed special study session agenda for March 17th and the proposed study session agenda for March 24th. Councilmember Brausen requested that Council have a study session discussion sooner rather than later regarding affordable housing and to make a decision on whether to pursue some type of requirement for affordable housing in future developments. Mr. Harmening stated that staff could bring this topic to Council sometime in April. Councilmember Sanger requested that Council’s discussion also include a discussion about Eliot if the current proposed development falls through. Councilmember Brausen stated he would also like Council to consider tasking the Environment and Sustainability Commission with a specific project and he is interested in having the Commission consider a polystyrene ban in the City. Councilmember Lindberg stated he would first like to obtain more information from the business community about a possible polystyrene ban. Councilmember Brausen stated that the Environment and Sustainability Commission is planning to have specific workgroups and felt that they could look at this and start vetting the idea in the business community and bring information to Council. Councilmember Mavity stated that the Environment and Sustainability Commission recently presented their work plan to Council and Council could have given them guidance at that time, City Council Meeting of April 7, 2014 (Item No. 3b) Page 2 Title: Study Session Minutes of March 10, 2014 adding she felt that residents should go to the Commission and ask for ways to participate and offer ideas to the Commission. Mr. Harmening stated that the Environment and Sustainability Commission’s work plan includes a goal of preparing a sustainability vision and the Commission has gone through two training sessions using the “Natural Step” approach that includes identifying initiatives to undertake. Councilmember Spano supported Councilmember Brausen’s idea and would like to discuss it in greater detail, but was not comfortable giving the Commission a specific project at this time and felt it was important to make sure the Commission finishes their initial work plan first. Councilmember Hallfin agreed and stated he did not want the Environment and Sustainability Commission to be doing anything beyond their work plan right now. Councilmember Sanger felt that the Environment and Sustainability Commission should be able to develop their own working norms and she did not want to undermine that. 2. Human Rights Commission 2013 Annual Report and 2014 Work Plan Mr. Luse presented the staff report and introduced Breanna Erickson (Community Liaison), and Rashmi Seneviratne and Brian Johnson from the Human Rights Commission. Mr. Johnson stated that the Human Rights Commission (HRC) has focused on bullying for the last two years and formed a joint commission with the School District. He advised that the HRC presented a community viewing of the film Bully and held a panel discussion with a public forum with the goal to raise awareness about bullying and the HRC felt there was strong interest in the community to do more. He advised that in 2014, the HRC has transitioned its focus to senior citizen bullying. Ms. Seneviratne explained that the HRC plans to reach out to the senior living communities in the City to learn more about senior citizen bullying and the HRC will be preparing a survey to better understand senior citizen bullying and to determine what the HRC can do, with the idea of creating a DVD of senior citizens in the community talking about what bullying means. Councilmember Mavity congratulated the HRC on an amazing year and stated that the films and discussions facilitated by the HRC were meaningful and they did a great job. Councilmember Sanger stated there is a bill pending at the legislature intended to tighten up the definition of bullying and requested information about how that might change the HRC’s work. Mr. Johnson stated the HRC’s goal was to raise awareness about bullying and that groundswell is building across the State and the nation. He indicated if the bill is successful, it will be imperative to get that message out into the school system and he felt the bill would help the HRC continue its work. Councilmember Mavity asked if Council would like to adopt a resolution to show support for the legislation. Councilmember Sanger stated she wanted to have more information on the implications of the bill before considering a resolution. City Council Meeting of April 7, 2014 (Item No. 3b) Page 3 Title: Study Session Minutes of March 10, 2014 Councilmember Hallfin thanked the HRC for its good work and asked if there was anything the HRC needed from Council. Mr. Johnson requested that Council find ways to continue raising awareness about bullying and to keep the topic in the forefront. Councilmember Mavity requested that staff prepare a summary of the current State law and a summary of the proposed bill for consideration by Council. Councilmember Spano stated he wanted to make sure the timing of any resolution was right, i.e., when momentum is growing, and urged Council to have a deliberate thought process about when it issues a resolution. Mr. Harmening agreed to provide further information to Council at its March 24th study session. Mayor Jacobs expressed the City Council’s thanks to the Human Rights Commission. 3. Police Advisory Commission (PAC) 2013 Annual Report and 2014 Work Plan Mr. Luse presented the staff report and introduced Police Lieutenant Mike Harcey and Nate Holm and Lorne Brunner from the Police Advisory Commission. Mr. Holm presented the 2013 PAC annual report and advised that the seventh annual Crime Prevention Fund golf tournament raised $3,500 for the Crime Prevention Fund. He stated that the PAC produced several public service announcements including “A Day in the Life of a St. Louis Park Patrol Officer” and felt the video was a great win for the City. He stated that the PAC has also participated in police officer interviews and serving as a community voice on the interview panels. He advised that the PAC will hold the golf tournament again in 2014 and will continue to produce public service announcements; in addition, the PAC is exploring opportunities to use social media. Councilmember Sanger questioned whether the PAC could play a role in the proposed new CERT program. Mr. Luse stated that further discussions will need to take place but he felt that the PAC could play a role in the CERT program. Council expressed its thanks to the Police Advisory Commission. 4. Annual Update – Discover St. Louis Park Mr. Basill introduced Discover St. Louis Park’s Chair-elect Doug McIntyre. He presented Discover St. Louis Park’s mission and roster of Board members and stated that Discover St. Louis Park has focused on four major groups, including group tours, SMERF (social, military, education, religious, and sports), meetings and events, and leisure. He advised that Discover St. Louis Park’s website traffic increased 63% year over year with 25,885 unique visits during 2013, with restaurant searches comprising the majority of those visits. He stated that Discover St. Louis Park experienced a 700% increase in in its Facebook fans and last year, 367 groups contacted Discover St. Louis Park representing a 23.98% increase. City Council Meeting of April 7, 2014 (Item No. 3b) Page 4 Title: Study Session Minutes of March 10, 2014 Mr. Harmening distributed a breakdown of the lodging tax revenue collected during 2011, 2012, and 2013 and indicated that total 2013 revenues were approximately $746,000 and the City retains 5% or approximately $103,000 since inception. Mr. Basill discussed lost business due to capacity issues and stated the City is maxing out on capacity, adding there has been a lot of hotel growth in neighboring communities and the City is going to face some challenges with the upcoming Highway 100 construction. He discussed 2014 activities, including You Tube testimonials, an illustrator map and coupon book, enhanced hotel partnerships, and kiosk expansion, including an Explore Minnesota travel center kiosk in the lower level of the Icon Theater. He presented several You Tube video clips containing testimonials and discussed potential future business, including the NCAA Final Four, Visonex, Showcase Hockey, and GOC Basketball Tournament. He added they are hoping for four festival events during 2014 including the Twin Cities Film Festival, You Betcha MN Made Festival, Color Dash, and a craft brew festival. Mr. Harmening stated there was interest expressed at the Health in the Park meetings for more events that involve physical activity. Mr. Basill stated there are multiple 5Ks coming to the City and they are also working on getting the City’s course certified. He added they are fortunate to have a great relationship with the City’s parks and recreation staff. Mr. McIntyre thanked Council for its support of Discover St. Louis Park. He stated that Mr. Basill has done a great job and is a true ambassador for the City. Mayor Jacobs expressed the City Council’s thanks to Mr. Basill. 5. Update on 2014 Connect the Park! Projects Mr. Sullivan presented the staff report. He stated when Connect the Park! was envisioned, it was determined that the highest quality pedestrian experience would be a boulevard style sidewalk consisting of a five or seven foot grass boulevard where trees can be planted and snow can be easily stored, adding that this provides a better experience for residents and breaks up the look and feel of the street and also has some watershed implications, adding that the City has worked to implement as many boulevard style sidewalks as possible. Councilmember Mavity stated that corner homes sometimes do not have a sidewalk and it was her understanding that the City would put in the entire sidewalk for those lots impacted by this project. She asked if the City intends to fill in gaps in the sidewalk system as part of this project, referencing several gaps in the Minikahda Vista neighborhood, and felt that in order to make an entire block useful, the City needs to fill in those gaps and she would like to revisit the City’s policy regarding filling in gaps. Mr. Sullivan explained the Connect the Park! plan was not specifically designed for filling in gaps, adding that when the City comes upon gaps near a project such as 39th Street, staff is asking for resident input, adding that the City has an assessment process in its sidewalk petition process. City Council Meeting of April 7, 2014 (Item No. 3b) Page 5 Title: Study Session Minutes of March 10, 2014 Councilmember Mavity stated that a resident suggested doing some type of block-wide special assessment if the residents are interested in having a sidewalk, similar to what has been done on other capital improvement projects. Councilmember Lindberg felt it made sense for Council to consider that part of the project cost as opposed to imposing special assessments. Councilmember Sanger requested further information about the Cedar Lake Road sidewalk and asked why the proposed project only includes construction of one block of sidewalk at this time. Mr. Sullivan explained that the goal of this segment is to create a safer connection for pedestrians. He stated there is a larger project planned along Cedar Lake Road in 2016 and acknowledged this segment could be postponed until the larger segment is completed. Councilmember Sanger expressed concern about the City’s criteria for determining whether a sidewalk is a community sidewalk or a residential sidewalk and felt that all sidewalks serve the community and the City should maintain all of them. Councilmember Brausen requested that the sidewalk on the south side of Cedar Lake Road be removed from the 2014 proposed project list as well as the sidewalk on Virginia Avenue. Council discussed the public hearing and timing of Council action on the 2014 sidewalk projects. Councilmember Hallfin stated that St. Louis Park is a fully built suburb with houses that were built on streets without sidewalks and felt that trying to retrofit sidewalks onto these streets was a difficult task creating an undue burden for residents. He felt that the 39th Street sidewalk should be designated a community sidewalk with the City taking care of maintenance and snow removal. He also requested the City change the design of the sidewalk on 41st Street and on Morningside Road to avoid loss of trees and take the burden off the homeowners. Mr. Sullivan presented several maps of 39th Street and described the proposed sidewalks in this area. He also discussed impacts to vegetation in the right of way and removal of trees. Councilmember Mavity stated one of her priorities is to save as many trees as possible, especially the mature trees that provide a canopy for the corridor and urged the City to consider what it can do to preserve as many trees as possible. Councilmember Spano stated the cost of maintaining all the City’s sidewalks would be extensive and would not serve to change the discussion about safety, adding he felt that no solution was going to be perfect. Councilmember Mavity agreed and stated the City has gone through this discussion in great detail and acknowledged that some residents would not be happy, adding she felt the process has been thorough, fair, and transparent. She suggested that Council direct staff to prepare the recommendation contained in the staff report and move forward to the public hearing. She stated it was also her preference to fill in gaps if the neighborhood wants a sidewalk and asked if Council was willing to include those segments as part of this project if the sidewalk is part of the adjacent Connect the Park! proposal. City Council Meeting of April 7, 2014 (Item No. 3b) Page 6 Title: Study Session Minutes of March 10, 2014 Mr. Harmening suggested that staff review all the projects that will be presented to Council on April 7th and identify potential gaps to fill in adjacent areas of a particular sidewalk segment related to the Connect the Park! project. Mr. Sullivan agreed to provide Council with further information regarding design changes to 39th Street, including impacts to vegetation and trees, by the end of the week. He added he would also like to hear from residents about any design changes prior to Council’s discussion. Councilmember Spano suggested putting this item on the special study session agenda for March 17th so that Council can move forward to the public hearing on April 7th. Councilmember Sanger requested that the information include the cost of the two design options. Councilmember Mavity also requested that the information include ongoing maintenance costs if the sidewalk is going to be designated a community sidewalk. Ms. Heiser agreed to provide this information on April 7th. 6. Update on Southwest LRT (Verbal) Mr. Harmening advised that the CMC will be meeting on Wednesday, March 12th, and presented the agenda for the meeting. He noted that the railroad and shippers in western Minnesota would be provided an opportunity to comment at this meeting. He stated that the next meeting with the Governor is scheduled for March 24th and Councilmember Spano will be attending. Councilmember Sanger indicated that the City’s press release was largely ignored and suggested that the City submit a letter to the editor. It was the consensus of the City Council to submit a commentary to the Star Tribune. Councilmember Mavity questioned the timing of a commentary and urged Council to submit its commentary at the most opportune time so it has the most impact and based on upcoming milestones with the project. Council discussed the recent Minneapolis City Council meeting. Councilmember Spano advised that Rep. Keith Ellison recently asked him to meet with Minneapolis Councilmember Lisa Bender and discuss the Southwest LRT project. He stated they had a good conversation and the meeting provided an opportunity to talk to each other rather than at each other. He agreed that the City should produce a commentary or op-ed and agreed that the timing of submission of the commentary needed to be considered. Councilmember Sanger felt that any commentary submitted by the City needs to point out the factual errors that Minneapolis used as a basis for their decision. She urged Council to disseminate factual information that helps the City’s residents as well as Minneapolis residents understand these factual errors. She advised that she was asked by a retired Minneapolis Park and Rec Board member to mention that when the bike trail and pedestrian trail in Kenilworth was constructed by Minneapolis, the lease agreement with HCRRA states that the bike trail and pedestrian trail are temporary and can be removed on 90 days notice upon request of HCRRA. City Council Meeting of April 7, 2014 (Item No. 3b) Page 7 Title: Study Session Minutes of March 10, 2014 She added that she has a copy of this document and the former Minneapolis Park and Rec Board member indicated he is willing to speak publicly about this. Mr. Harmening advised that the City has included the lease agreement in its comments. Councilmember Mavity suggested that the City post this information on its website. Mr. Harmening stated that Brad Meier at the TwinWest Chamber of Commerce advised him that the Chamber would be submitting a commentary or letter to the editor. He advised that staff is also working with Vic Moore to contact legislators in western Minnesota, and staff has drafted a letter for these legislators to sign and send to the Governor expressing concern about the impact of a reroute on the agricultural economy in western Minnesota and the impact on shippers. Councilmember Sanger requested that staff provide further information in response to Minneapolis Councilmember Lisa Goodman’s comment that if Minneapolis approved the shallow tunnel, the legislature would step in. Communications/Meeting Check-In (Verbal) Mr. Harmening stated that the Real Estate Forum is on Wednesday, March 12th, at the Excelsior and Grand Community Room. The meeting adjourned at 10:15 p.m. Written Reports provided and documented for recording purposes only: 7. Telecommunications Advisory Commission 2013 Annual Report/2014 Work Plan 8.

LOUIS PARK, MINNESOTA MARCH 17, 2014 The meeting convened at 6:30 p.m. Councilmembers present: Mayor Jeff Jacobs, Tim Brausen, Steve Hallfin, Gregg Lindberg, Anne Mavity, Susan Sanger, and Jake Spano. Councilmembers absent: None. Staff present: City Manager (Mr. Harmening), Director of Engineering (Ms. Heiser), Senior Engineering Project Manager (Mr. Elkin), Senior Engineering Project Manager (Mr. Sullivan), and Recording Secretary (Ms. Hughes). 1. Highway 169 – W. 16th Street Access Closure Ms. Heiser presented the staff report and introduced Phillip Elkin, Senior Engineering Project Manager. Mr. Elkin explained that MnDOT has requested the closure of the 16th Street access because it does not meet MnDOT’s minimum standards and is asking for the City’s verbal consent in exchange for a visual barrier wall to complement the sound barrier. He added the City held an open house to obtain resident input and completed a traffic study to document existing traffic. Councilmember Brausen stated he attended the open house and the vast majority of residents were against closing this access. He indicated approximately two hundred people in this area use this access and there was some interest expressed by residents of putting a pocket park in the area if the access is closed. He added the Crestview neighborhood was surveyed about the closure and 21 residents responded with the majority stating they were against closing the access. He stated it was important to note that in 2017 MnDOT is scheduled to rebuild the Cedar Lake Road access at TH 169 and it is possible that the 16th Street access would be closed as a part of that project, adding that 16th Street would provide an alternative access to TH 169 during this period of construction and that access is important to residents. He indicated he would prefer to delay the 16th Street closure and recommended that Council not provide consent at this time. Councilmember Sanger noted that the traffic study was done in December and asked if there would have been any difference in the analysis if the traffic study had been done during the summer months. Mr. Elkin replied that the traffic study prorated the traffic counts to account for the summer traffic and did not believe it would have made a significant difference in the analysis. Councilmember Lindberg asked about the cost of the visual barrier. Mr. Elkin replied that the cost for constructing the visual barrier is $800,000. City Council Meeting of April 7, 2014 (Item No. 3c) Page 2 Title: Special Study Session Minutes of March 17, 2014 Councilmember Spano questioned how realistic it would be for the City to require a visual barrier as part of its municipal consent when MnDOT undertakes a major project along TH 169. Mr. Elkin advised that he asked MnDOT what would prompt MnDOT to close this access without any consent from the City and MnDOT indicated they would close the access if there were a very serious accident or a series of accidents attributable to the access. He added that another scenario for closing the access without the City’s consent is if MnDOT was doing a major construction project in which the lanes were being widened. Councilmember Mavity stated that this is an opportunity for the City to get the visual barrier and to have MnDOT pay for it. She stated the record should indicate that by going with what appears to be neighborhood sentiment against the visual barrier, the City is not promising that the City would pay for an $800,000 barrier in the future. Councilmember Spano stated there does not appear to be any compelling reason to close this access and felt the access should be left open for now and the City should discuss a visual barrier with MnDOT during municipal consent when the time comes for a major project. It was the consensus of the City Council to not support MnDOT’s request to close the TH 169 access at 16th Street. 2. 2014 Connect the Park! Projects Mr. Harmening presented the staff report. Mr. Sullivan advised that staff reevaluated the 39th Street sidewalk design between Lynn and Inglewood Avenues and presented several options for Council consideration. He stated that most trees along this corridor were previously replaced after the removal of diseased Elm trees and a boulevard design impacts a total of eleven boulevard trees and a back of curb design impacts ten boulevard trees. He stated it is possible to construct a back of curb design on the south side that would save a few additional trees and would require the removal of eight trees, two of which are significant trees. Councilmember Mavity stated it appears Option #1 and Option #2 are about the same, adding that when the City started this project, one of the principles included minimizing the number of trees that would be removed, particularly the larger ones. She requested further information about plowing around trees and any damage that can occur if a sidewalk is not straight. Mr. Sullivan advised the City is able to do some curvilinear sidewalks to save trees on the north side and the majority of the eleven trees are small and would be replaced or transplanted by the City. He stated the 20” Norway Maple and 20” Linden are both in a situation where the City would be on private property if the sidewalk swerved behind them and the sidewalk would swerve in front of the trees with a back of curb design, however, the City Forester has indicated he does not believe these trees would survive. He stated the 28” Linden could be preserved by placing a sidewalk behind the tree or in front of the tree and staff is currently reviewing this to see if it is possible, adding that staff believes the existing privacy fence is on public property and the City would move the fence back to the right of way to provide enough room to install the sidewalk and staff has talked to the property owner but no solution has yet been agreed upon. City Council Meeting of April 7, 2014 (Item No. 3c) Page 3 Title: Special Study Session Minutes of March 17, 2014 Councilmember Spano asked if the sidewalks could be installed without removing the larger diameter trees and then removing them only if the trees do not survive. Mr. Sullivan stated one of the two trees has to come out because of its placement. He stated that staff is working with the City Forester on options including other types of tree trimming, available pre-treatments, and different types of soil amenities as the roots are exposed, adding that the City cannot guarantee the tree would survive. Councilmember Sanger stated she was in favor of Option #1 and was not in favor of any options that do not have a boulevard strip because it provides a place for trees to be replanted as well as a place for storing snow. She stated that the definitions of community and neighborhood sidewalks overlap significantly and requested a study session discussion regarding the classification of community versus neighborhood sidewalks. Councilmember Hallfin felt that Option #2 represented the least burden on homeowners and asked if a 5’ sidewalk would provide a better option for saving trees. He felt this sidewalk should be designated a community sidewalk to lessen the burden on homeowners. Mr. Sullivan advised that another option to consider is to reduce the sidewalk to 5’ at the tight pinch points rather than reducing the entire corridor. Councilmember Lindberg agreed that a study session discussion about community versus neighborhood sidewalks was important, adding that he asked staff for information about how many neighborhood sidewalks are to the curb to better understand the impact if that were added as part of the criteria for designating community versus neighborhood sidewalks. He stated that this project was designed for safety, connectivity, and healthy li ving and it was important to balance that greater good with the burden placed on homeowners and he felt that Option #3 was the best option but would require more public process. Councilmembers Spano and Mavity recommended that Council approve Option #1 for this segment and to designate this segment a community sidewalk. Councilmember Spano recommended that Council also approve the reduction of the sidewalk to 5’ if staff feels it will help save trees. He added there is a strong likelihood that the City will have this same issue in other areas and he did not want to have this same argument for every segment being proposed in this project. Councilmember Mavity suggested providing staff with the flexibility to reduce a sidewalk to 5’ wherever appropriate throughout this project and to be creative in a way that works to save as many trees as possible. It was the consensus of the majority of the City Council to direct staff to pursue Option #1 relative to the 39th Street sidewalk design and to designate this segment as a community sidewalk. It was also the consensus of the City Council to direct staff to narrow the sidewalk to 5’ where appropriate to minimize tree loss. Council then discussed filling sidewalk gaps on street segments adjacent to the 2014 project. City Council Meeting of April 7, 2014 (Item No. 3c) Page 4 Title: Special Study Session Minutes of March 17, 2014 Councilmember Mavity felt that the City should install connector sidewalks if homeowners are requesting the City to fill a sidewalk gap and those sidewalks should be designated as residential sidewalks. Mr. Sullivan indicated that staff would notify residents and reach out to them about the missing segments, adding that staff has already heard from some residents that they would be on board with that. Councilmember Sanger asked about the implications for the rest of the community, stating that she felt if the City is going to construct the missing segment in this area, it should be doing the same thing elsewhere and provide residents with an opt out if they do not want a missing segment filled in. She also felt that Council should revisit its policy that requires residents to pay for installation of a sidewalk. Mr. Harmening indicated that the City’s practice has been to communicate with property owners to inform them that the City is considering filling a sidewalk gap to make a connection, adding that there are not many more examples like this throughout the community. It was the consensus of the City Council to direct staff to contact property owners on street segments adjacent to the 2014 Connect the Park! project to see if they are interested in having their sidewalk gaps filled. The meeting adjourned at 7:28 p.m. ______________________________________ ______________________________________ Nancy Stroth, City Clerk Jeff Jacobs, Mayor Meeting: City Council Meeting Date: April 7, 2014 Minutes: 3d UNOFFICIAL MINUTES CITY COUNCIL MEETING ST.

LOUIS PARK, MINNESOTA MARCH 24, 2014 The meeting convened at 6:30 p.m. Councilmembers present: Mayor Jeff Jacobs, Tim Brausen, Steve Hallfin, Gregg Lindberg, Anne Mavity (arrived at 6:34 p.m.), and Jake Spano. Councilmembers absent: Susan Sanger. Staff present: City Manager (Mr. Harmening), Director of Community Development (Mr. Locke), Chief Information Officer (Mr. Pires), City Assessor (Mr. Bultema), Planning/Zoning Supervisor (Ms. McMonigal), Civic TV Coordinator (Mr. Dunlap), Communications & Marketing Coordinator (Mr. Zwilling), and Recording Secretary (Ms. Hughes). Guests: Cindy Hoffman (Telecommunications Advisory Commission Chair), Bruce Browning (Telecommunications Advisory Commission Member), Jeff McMenimen (HKGi), and Kerri Pearce Ruch (Hennepin County). 1. Future Study Session Agenda Planning – April 21 and April 28, 2014 Mr. Harmening presented the proposed special study session agenda for April 21st and the proposed study session agenda for April 28th. 2. Telecommunications Advisory Commission 2013 Annual Report and 2014 Work Plan Mr. Pires presented the staff report and introduced Ms. Cindy Hoffman, Telecommunications Advisory Commission (TAC) Chair and Mr. Bruce Browning, TAC Commissioner. He stated the 2014 Work Plan includes the idea of analyzing TAC’s mission and vision going forward and TAC requests input from Council about TAC’s future and where TAC should spend its time in representing the community on technology issues. Mr. Browning stated that the crux of TAC’s role has changed because of the drastic changes in technology and felt that TAC’s role should include technology as part of its focus. Councilmember Spano requested information about the impact on revenue from the Comcast franchise agreement as a result of declining cable subscribers. Mr. Zwilling stated that the City has been budgeting more conservatively and revenues have continued to climb since completing the cable TV study three years ago. He acknowledged that this could change and staff will continue to pay close attention to this fund. He added that a lot of cities are in the process of negotiating their franchise agreements with Comcast and staff is closely monitoring these negotiations. Councilmember Spano referenced the City Assessor’s comment in his assessment report about online purchasing and its profound impact on real estate and stated that the online marketplace City Council Meeting of April 7, 2014 (Item No. 3e) Page 2 Title: Study Session Minutes of March 24, 2014 might be an area for TAC to start thinking about, i.e., the impact of the online marketplace across all platforms of technology. Councilmember Mavity asked if the City has any tools available to hold Comcast accountable given the number of complaints received. She questioned whether the City should explore making telecommunications services a utility with public ownership as most telecommunications services have become a basic public good that everyone needs. Mr. Pires stated that a few cities, especially those with their own electric utility, have built out the triple play over their fiber optic system resulting in more competition for the cable company and better pricing as well as more responsive service on the part of the cable company. Council discussed fiber connectivity in the City and US Internet’s program to run fiber to homes in Minneapolis. Mr. Pires stated the City (and Schools) has run fiber and/or conduit in approximately 32 miles throughout the City and has approximately 125 miles of streets. He added that the estimated cost to bring fiber to every resident and business in the City is approximately $28 million. Councilmember Mavity stated that $28 million is a significant amount and suggested that the City strategically determine how it wants to build out fiber in the City, e.g., within ¼ mile of train stations, and felt this was worth exploring and suggested using the Louisiana Avenue station as a pilot project, adding that the City’s technology strategies could serve as a catalyst for development. Mr. Pires felt that the City could identify fiber partners and mentioned US Internet is the Minneapolis private wireless partner that has also begun to offer fiber services in limited areas. He stated that TAC has a good platform from which to start with its recent fiber study and TAC could start drilling deeper into that study with a more detailed analysis and consideration of alternative strategies related to fiber connectivity. It was the consensus of the City Council to direct TAC to provide Council with strategies and cost estimates related to complete development of fiber to the premises in the City, including the possibility of public-private partnerships. Mayor Jacobs thanked the Telecommunications Advisory Commission for its report. 3. Presentation of Southwest LRT Station Area Plans Ms. McMonigal presented the staff report and introduced Jeff McMenimen from HKGi and Kerri Pearce Ruch from Hennepin County. Mr. McMenimen explained the Transitional Station Area Action Plans (TSAAP) are intended to promote opening day readiness by bridging gaps between current conditions and future needs by addressing such things as station platform locations, park and ride sites, future development potential, and storm water management options, adding that the TSAAP plans include recommended improvements for opening day as well as long term improvements. He presented the TSAAP plans for the Belt Line station and stated the Belt Line plan includes redesigning and converting Belt Line to a multimodal complete street, a grade separation from freight rail and light rail to reduce conflicts, a new signalized intersection at CSAH 25 and Lynn, and new roads City Council Meeting of April 7, 2014 (Item No. 3e) Page 3 Title: Study Session Minutes of March 24, 2014 (Lynn and Monterey) south of CSAH 25. He stated the Belt Line plan includes the long-term redesign of CSAH 25 east of Belt Line into a four lane urban boulevard and expanding the street network around the station area. He stated the Belt Line plan also provides betterment to the Cedar Lake Trail by bringing Belt Line underneath it and if this betterment is not approved, the plan suggests bringing the trail over Belt Line to reduce conflicts between trail users and motorists. He advised the Belt Line plan includes a surface lot park and ride site in the short term and long term plans call for a structured parking ramp. He presented a conceptual street section drawing of Belt Line and stated there is tremendous development potential around the Belt Line station and indicated that the TSAAP plan includes a list of improvements for each station proposed by the SPO, as well as betterments requested by the cities that are not in the SPO base project along with improvements identified during the TSAAP process to enhance access and connections to the station platforms. Mr. McMenimen then presented two options for the Wooddale Avenue station and advised that the Wooddale West option is part of the SPO base project. He explained that the Wooddale West platform is located east of Wooddale Road and south of the Highway 7 frontage road and the TSAAP plan includes a recommendation to realign the Highway 7 service road east of Wooddale that will create a larger continuous redevelopment site and help resolve redevelopment issues in this area. He stated other improvements include a signal at Xenwood and West 36th and an improved pedestrian crossing at 36th and Wooddale. He stated that long- term improvements include exploring the potential for a pedestrian bridge over Highway 100 to connect to the Park Nicollet complex. He stated the Wooddale station area includes a kiss and ride on Yosemite and on the Highway 7 service road. He advised that one of the Wooddale West station area betterments includes a grade separated crossing with the regional trail with the trail underneath Wooddale. Mr. McMenimen then presented the TSAAP plans for the Wooddale East station that locates the station a few hundred feet to the east of the Wooddale West station location between Yosemite and Xenwood. He stated they looked at taking Xenwood through which would provide greater access to those north of the station with freight rail and light rail crossing at grade, adding that this plan calls for the same realignment of the Highway 7 service road and includes a signalized intersection at Xenwood and 36th. Ms. McMonigal stated that the City has asked what it would cost to put light rail under Wooddale Avenue and that issue is still being discussed but it is not on the official betterments list. She added that the City’s engineering department is doing some traffic analysis and will prepare a cost/benefit analysis to see if this would relieve traffic at other intersections and provide better access and circulation in that area. Mr. McMenimen stated the pedestrian and bike connections for the Wooddale East station are similar to the Wooddale West station with some improved connections to those areas to the north. He stated that a kiss and ride is located on 35th across the plaza from the station platform and station area improvements include a larger plaza to make the platform more visible. Mr. McMenimen then presented two options for the Louisiana Avenue station and stated there was discussion during the project charrette to relocate the station further south because of the limited roadway network in this area inhibiting access to the platform. He stated the Louisiana North option puts the station closer to Oxford and long term roadway improvements include realigning Edgewood Avenue between Oxford and Cambridge to provide direct access to Methodist Hospital and a new roadway extending Cambridge west across Louisiana and City Council Meeting of April 7, 2014 (Item No. 3e) Page 4 Title: Study Session Minutes of March 24, 2014 connecting back to Oxford with the idea of encouraging greater density and an urban pattern around this station. He stated other improvements include a new multiuse connection from Oxford to Louisiana Circle, improved pedestrian crossings along Louisiana Avenue, and providing connections to the Cedar Lake Regional Trail. He stated the park and ride consists of a surface lot along Oxford with a kiss and ride integrated into the park and ride. He advised that station area improvements include a public plaza northeast of the park and ride lot, extended wayfinding, and several bike facilities at the platform. Mr. McMenimen then presented the Louisiana South option and explained this option includes more significant long term roadway improvements with a loop road located off Louisiana to the north of the station platform and linking back to Oxford in order to provide access to a shuttle bus drop-off facility and kiss and ride. He stated the Louisiana South option includes streetscape enhancements, improved pedestrian crossings along Louisiana Avenue, connections to the Cedar Lake Trail, and a new multiuse trail connection from the east end of the platform to Louisiana Circle connecting to Methodist Hospital. Council discussed the process for municipal consent. Mr. Harmening advised that staff is currently researching what it means when a city provides municipal consent with conditions and how binding those conditions might be as part of the municipal consent process, including any precedents set when providing municipal consent with conditions. Ms. McMonigal indicated that staff intends to provide further information to Council related to betterments and cost estimates. She advised that most cities and the County have taken action to officially receive the TSAAP plans and requested that Council take action to receive the TSAAP plans as part of its Consent Agenda, adding that this action does not approve the TSAAP plans but is intended to show that the City has officially received the TSAAP plan document. Mayor Jacobs expressed the City Council’s thanks to Mr. McMenimen and Ms. Pearce Ruch. 4. 2014 Assessment Report Mr. Bultema presented the staff report and an overview of the assessing process and appeal process. He advised that the City mailed valuation notices on March 21st and the Local Board of Appeal and Equalization (LBAE) will convene on April 28, 2014, noting that valuation changes can be made administratively until ten days before the LBAE convenes. He presented realtor data regarding sales volume over the past three years and valuation trend data for median sales prices and stated the City is in the top five of the metro area in terms of median sale price/value retention. He also presented assessed market values indicating family values are up 5.6%, condo values are up 7.8%, townhome values are up 7.4%, apartment values are up 20.2%, and commercial/industrial values are up 0.4%, for a total valuation increase of 6.2% and a total valuation of $5,440,990,800 as of January 2, 2014. He also presented examples of property tax calculations for pay 2013. He reminded Council that the City must use the traditional market as the basis for its assessed valuations and cannot use foreclosures or short sales. He advised that while the overall median value for single family residential increased 4.7%, 6% of the housing stock was reduced in value, 52% of the stock was increased 0-5%, and 27% of the stock was increased 5-10%. He presented information regarding condo and townhome sales and stated the City had a lot of distressed properties that previously overwhelmed the market and two of the eighteen townhome complexes had adjustments over 10% and these two complexes comprise City Council Meeting of April 7, 2014 (Item No. 3e) Page 5 Title: Study Session Minutes of March 24, 2014 18% of the total stock; in addition, approximately 40% of the condo stock will see value increases in excess of 10% and six of the complexes will see increases of 20-24%. He stated that the total valuation for commercial/industrial properties for 2014 is up 0.4% and the City has performed better than the metro norm. He discussed tax capacity trends and stated that from 2007-2014, the City remained remarkably stable compared to other communities in the metro area, adding that 2013 was the first year that commercial/industrial and apartments overtook residential stock. Mayor Jacobs thanked Mr. Bultema for the update. 5. Update on Bullying Legislation – HF826 Mr. Harmening presented the staff report and advised that staff has learned that most if not all of the earlier objections to the bill have been worked out and the bill is currently on the Senate floor and is eligible to come up for a vote at any time. Councilmember Mavity stated she did not feel that Council needed to do anything further at this time related to the bill, i.e., going on record in support of the legislation. Councilmember Spano pointed out there is no funding mechanism for the bill and stated he was frustrated that private schools have been exempted from the bill. Communications/Meeting Check-In (Verbal) Mr. Harmening advised that the recent Children First event would raise approximately $70,000. He requested that Council appoint a Councilmember to CEAC given Councilmember Mavity’s conflicts with her schedule. Councilmember Brausen volunteered to serve on CEAC. Mr. Harmening stated that he sent Council a link to the TranSystems final study report. He added he talked to Finance & Commerce today and told them that the City was disappointed in the report.

Published in St. Louis Park Sailor: April 17, 2014 Meeting: City Council Meeting Date: April 7, 2014 Consent Agenda Item: 4b EXECUTIVE SUMMARY TITLE: Extension for Recording the Wooddale Flats Final Plat RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to approve an extension until October 7, 2014 for Gatehouse Properties LLC to record the final plat for Wooddale Flats. POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does the City Council wish to extend the deadline for recording the final plat? SUMMARY: Under the subdivision chapter of the City Code, the subdivider has a limited time after City Council approval to record the final plat, and the City Council may grant extensions. The City received a written request for an extension from Mr. David Carlson representing Gatehouse Properties, LLC. As indicated in the attached letter from Mr. Carlson, he is still actively pursuing the development. The two parcels being combined consist of a torrens title and abstract title, in which case Hennepin County requires a Proceedings Subsequent in order to record the new plat as torrens. Once the Proceedings Subsequent is complete, Mr. Carlson intends to pursue construction of the Wooddale Flats development. In the meantime, he plans to commence demolition of the existing buildings. Staff finds the conditions have not changed since the granting of the application. The Comprehensive Plan, zoning designation, and the planned unit development approvals all remain valid and consistent with the approved final plat. Staff recommends granting the requested extension to record the final plat. FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: Not applicable. VISION CONSIDERATION: Not applicable.

POLICY CONSIDERATION: This action is consistent with previous direction given by Council as part of the TH 100 Construction project. SUMMARY: On December 3, 2012, the City Council granted municipal consent for the Highway 100 project (from 28th Street to 36th Street). Over the last year and a half, MnDOT has put together final design plans and specifications. The project bids will be opened in early summer, construction is scheduled to begin in late summer 2014. In preparation, MnDOT is finalizing easements and permits with the City of St. Louis Park. MnDOT needs to acquire a permanent easement on a city owned parcel of land at 5100 Park Glen Road in the southeast corner of Highway 100 and the CP Rail line. This parcel is currently used for the city’s vehicle impound lot, water tower and as storage for MSC’s operations. As a part of their project, MnDOT’s contractor will reconstruct City watermain, storm sewer, and sidewalks. For the most part this infrastructure is located within MnDOT right-of-way, however portions are on City right- of- way. To perform the work on City right-of-way, MnDOT is asking for the City to approve a “Zero Dollar Permit to Construct”. FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: This is a MnDOT led project with an estimated cost of $60 million. In addition to cost participation in the Highway improvement costs, the City also has several other related costs such as upgrading our water, sanitary and storm utilities that traverse under Highway 100 and Public Art. The City’s share of the project cost is approximately $3,000,000. MnDOT has offered $79,300 for the one permanent ($39,200) and two temporary ($40,100) easements. The offer presented by MnDOT for the purchase of the permanent easement and two temporary easements have been reviewed by the City Assessor and City Attorney and have been determined to be fair and reasonable offers.

In preparation, MnDOT is finalizing easements and permits with the City of St. Louis Park. MnDOT needs to acquire a permanent easement and two temporary easement on a city owned parcel of land at 5100 Park Glen Road in the southeast corner of Highway 100 and the CP Rail line located at the very west end of Park Glen Road. This parcel is currently used for the city’s vehicle impound lot, water tower and as storage for MSC’s operations. To construct the improvements, MnDOT needs to acquire 2,799 square feet of permanent easement adjacent to their existing new right of way. The adjacent 1,624 square feet of temporary easement is needed for construction purposes. The 9,447 square feet temporary easement near the northeastern end of the parcel is needed to gain access to the south edge of the rail corridor to reconstruction the CP rail bridge. Both temporary easements will be restored to their original state and released back to the City after the construction project has been completed. Engineering staff has reviewed these easements with Operations and believes there will be no adverse effects to the City’s use or interest in the land either during construction or after construction is complete. As a part of the Highway reconstruction project, MnDOT’s contractor is reconstructing City watermain, storm sewer, and sidewalks. For the most part this infrastructure is located within MnDOT right- of- way; however portions are on City right- of- way. To perform the work on City right- of- way, MnDOT is asking for the City to approve a “Zero Dollar Permit To Construct”.

SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS: Discussion Resolution Contract Change Orders Project Summary Prepared by: Brian Hoffman, Director of Inspections Approved by: Tom Harmening, City Manager City Council Meeting of April 7, 2014 (Item No. 4f) Page 2 Title: Final Payment Resolution - Contract No. 46-13 w/ Black and Dew LLC Project 2009-1600 DISCUSSION Design criteria for creating a remodeled public entrance and first floor of City Hall initially began during 2011 before the Fire Department administration staff moved into Fire Station #1. The need for an improved service experience has been evident for many years since the relocation of the reception area to first floor in 2000 following elimination of parking on Minnetonka Blvd. The design firm of Krech, O’Brien, Mueller, and Associates (KOMA) was initially retained to develop conceptual design possibilities. A presentation to Council on July 23, 2012 resulted in approval to proceed with development of construction drawings and specifications. Following nearly a year of design discussions and plan preparation, Council awarded the project bid to Black and Dew, LLC at the May 6, 2013 meeting. The contractor began work on June 1, 2013 and was substantially completed on schedule by November 2013. Completion of all punch-list work and contract obligations, including an attic stock of replacement carpeting, was accomplished on March 31, 2014. With all items completed, the contractor is requesting final payment and release of all retained funds. The Black & Dew Change Orders attachment provides an overview of the necessary change orders approved for the general contractor to complete the project as envisioned. Removing walls and remodeling an older structure will inevitably generate changes as certain elements of the building become uncovered. Most were relatively minor and quickly resolved with the architect and contractor, a few opportunities for credits even occurred. Change Order #26 for $13,531 was one of the more significant and resulted from a sub-contractor accidentally cutting the elevator hydraulic line. This expenditure was eventually reimbursed by the contractor’s insurance carrier and is identified as revenue in the overall project financial summary. The Project Summary attachment identifies all construction, material, professional services, public art, and other incidental costs. The total project budget of $2.290 million was established based on design fees, estimated construction costs, and contingency. Initially $2.430 million had been allocated in Capital Replacement Fund leading up to this project. This summary identifies $85,030 remaining in the project budget. There are a few more items related to the 1st floor renovation not part of Black and Dew’s contract that remain to be paid. About $10,000 remains allocated for replacement of the landscape area irrigation and plants, decorative planters for the entrance sidewalk, and storage room shelving, reducing the balance remaining to approximately $75,000. The final cost of the project is estimated at $2.215 million or about 3% under budget when the exterior work is completed in May.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to adopt Resolution Declaring the Official Intent of the City of St. Louis Park to Reimburse Certain Expenditures from the Proceeds of Bonds to be Issued by the City. POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does the City Council desire to approve a reimbursement resolution to preserve the ability to bond for all of the City’s costs related to construction of a multiphase expansion to the City’s sidewalks and trails known as Connect the Park!, along with associated utility improvements? SUMMARY: Connect the Park! is the City's 10-year plan to add additional sidewalks, trails, bike lanes and bikeways throughout the community. As a result of Vision St. Louis Park, in 2007 the City worked with community members to create an Active Living Sidewalks and Trails plan. The purpose and goal of Connect the Park! is to develop a comprehensive, city-wide system of trails and sidewalks that provides local and regional connectivity, improves safety and accessibility, and enhances overall community livability. The original estimated cost of implementing the entire 10 year plan was approximately $17 – 24 million and will be financed through the issuance of General Obligation Tax Exempt Bonds over several phases of the project life as funds are needed and in accordance with required spend down provisions. In order to preserve the ability to bond for all of the City’s construction costs, a pre-existing declaration of intent by the City to use bond proceeds to finance all or a portion of the expenditures is required prior to incurring those costs. The City is also eligible to be reimbursed for “preliminary expenditures”, such as architectural, engineering, and surveying costs, etc., up to an amount allowed under the reimbursement regulations. The attached resolution covers both construction and preliminary expenditures. The $30 million reimbursement maximum would cover all projected costs with a significant contingency amount. The City is not required to issue $30 million in bonds, but via this resolution has the flexibility to do so. FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: It is currently anticipated bonds will be issued late this year or early 2015 and then, depending on scope and costs of additional segments, approximately 5 and 10 years later to help mitigate impacts to the property tax levy. This is very dependent on the timing of the process and the cost of each segment that is added to the program. VISION CONSIDERATION: St. Louis Park is committed to being a connected and engaged community. SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS: Resolution Prepared by: Brian A.

Reg. § 1.150-2 (the “Reimbursement Regulations”) providing that proceeds of tax-exempt bonds used to reimburse prior expenditures will not be deemed spent unless certain requirements are met; and WHEREAS, the City expects to incur certain expenditures that may be financed temporarily from sources other than bonds, and reimbursed from the proceeds of a tax-exempt bond; WHEREAS, the City has determined to make this declaration of official intent (the “Declaration”) to reimburse certain costs from proceeds of bonds in accordance with the Reimbursement Regulations. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ST. LOUIS PARK AS FOLLOWS: 1. The City proposes to undertake a project consisting of the construction of a multiphase expansion to the City’s sidewalks and trails, along with associated utility improvements, designated as Project Number 40140000 (the “Project”).

The City reasonably expects to reimburse the expenditures made for certain costs of the Project from the proceeds of one or more series of bonds in an estimated maximum aggregate principal amount of $30,000,000. All reimbursed expenditures will be capital expenditures, costs of issuance of the bonds, or other expenditures eligible for reimbursement under Section 1.150-2(d)(3) of the Reimbursement Regulations. 3. This Declaration has been made not later than 60 days after payment of any original expenditure to be subject to a reimbursement allocation with respect to the proceeds of bonds, except for the following expenditures: (a) costs of issuance of bonds; (b) costs in an amount not in excess of $100,000 or 5 percent of the proceeds of an issue; or (c) “preliminary expenditures” up to an amount not in excess of 20 percent of the aggregate issue price of the issue or issues that finance or are reasonably expected by the City to finance the project for which the preliminary expenditures were incurred. The term “preliminary expenditures” includes architectural, engineering, surveying, bond issuance, and similar costs that are incurred prior to commencement of acquisition, construction or rehabilitation of a project, other than land acquisition, site preparation, and similar costs incident to commencement of construction. City Council Meeting of April 7, 2014 (Item No. 4g) Page 3 Title: Approval of Reimbursement Resolution for Connect the Park! 4. This Declaration is an expression of the reasonable expectations of the City based on the facts and circumstances known to the City as of the date hereof. The anticipated original expenditures for the Project and the principal amount of the bonds described in paragraph 2 are consistent with the City’s budgetary and financial circumstances. No sources other than proceeds of bonds to be issued by the City are, or are reasonably expected to be, reserved, allocated on a long-term basis, or otherwise set aside pursuant to the City’s budget or financial policies to pay such Project expenditures. 5. This Declaration is intended to constitute a declaration of official intent for purposes of the Reimbursement Regulations. Approved this 7th day of April, 2014, by the City Council of the City of St. Louis Park, Minnesota.

POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does the City Council desire to approve the resolution allowing the City of New Hope to issue Revenue Obligations on behalf of Homeward Bound, Inc.? SUMMARY: Homeward Bound, Inc., a Minnesota nonprofit corporation, has requested that the City of New Hope issue revenue obligations in a principal amount not to exceed $3,400,000. Homeward Bound, Inc. proposes to use the proceeds to refinance one or more 30-year HUD loans for its existing housing facilities for the disabled located in the cities of Golden Valley, Crystal, Robbinsdale, Plymouth, Hopkins, Minnetonka, St. Louis Park, Maple Grove, Brooklyn Park, and New Hope. The proceeds would also be used to finance the acquisition of land and the acquisition, construction, and equipping of a new facility proposed to be located in the City of Golden Valley and to fund any required reserves, and pay the costs of issuance of the revenue obligations. More information on this matter is provided in the background section of this report (next page). PROCESS: • The St Louis Park City Council approved on February 3, 2014 to have Hennepin County act as the agent for conducting the public hearing to avoid each of the nine cities involved to conduct separate public hearings. This public hearing occurred March 18, 2014. • Now, each City Council will be asked to adopt a resolution approving the issuance of the revenue obligations by the City of New Hope and authorizing the execution of the cooperative agreement. • Following this, the Revenue Obligations will be issued by the City of New Hope, loaned to Homeward Bound, Inc., with no further action required by the City of St. Louis Park. FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: The City of St. Louis Park has no financial obligation associated with the issuance or repayment of the bonds. VISION CONSIDERATION: Not applicable.

Swanson, Controller Reviewed by: Nancy Deno, Deputy City Manager/HR Director Approved by: Tom Harmening, City Manager City Council Meeting of April 7, 2014 (Item No. 4h) Page 2 Title: Homeward Bound Private Activity Revenue Bonds Hosted By The City of New Hope DISCUSSION Homeward Bound, Inc., a Minnesota nonprofit corporation, has existing housing facilities for the disabled located in the cities of Golden Valley, Crystal, Robbinsdale, Plymouth, Hopkins, Minnetonka, St. Louis Park, Maple Grove, Brooklyn Park, and New Hope. They are interested in refinancing one or more 30-year HUD loans for their existing housing facilities and finance the acquisition of land and the acquisition, construction, and equipping of a new facility proposed to be located in the City of Golden Valley. Because a portion of the project is located in the City of St. Louis Park, the City Council is normally required to hold a public hearing on the approval of the issuance of the notes, on the cooperative agreement to be entered into with the other cities in which portions of the project are located, and on the housing program prepared by the City of New Hope in accordance with the requirements. However, the requirements also provide that public hearings by multiple governmental units may be combined into one public hearing as long as the combined hearing is a joint undertaking thereby allowing all of the residents of the participating governmental units a reasonable opportunity to be heard. As such, Hennepin County acted as the agent responsible for conducting a combined public hearing on behalf of the cities of Golden Valley, Crystal, Robbinsdale, Plymouth, Hopkins, Minnetonka, St. Louis Park, Maple Grove, and Brooklyn Park. The public hearing took place on March 18, 2014. The City Council of the City of New Hope, as the issuer of the revenue obligations, conducted a separate public hearing to satisfy the requirements of the issuer. Following the public hearing conducted by Hennepin County, each City Council will be asked to adopt a resolution approving the issuance of the revenue obligations by the City of New Hope, authorizing the execution of the cooperative agreement, and approving the housing program. Finally, the Revenue Obligations will be issued by the City of New Hope, loaned to Homeward Bound, Inc., with no further action or financial obligation required by the City of St. Louis Park.

POLICY CONSIDERATION: This is the only contract the City has for private parking on a City park facility. Is the City Council comfortable with this arrangement? SUMMARY: The City entered into a temporary agreement in 2004 with MSP Property Management to allow twenty (20) parking spaces in the south row of the south lot of Louisiana Oaks Park for overnight guest parking of the Louisiana Oaks apartment complex. Guests would display a permit in their vehicle indicating they were from Louisiana Oaks apartment complex. Staff from Engineering, Community Development and Operations and Recreation met with MSP Property Management and, with the assistance of Attorney Tom Scott, drafted an agreement both parties agree to. Overnight guests of Louisiana Oaks apartment complex will be allowed to park in the designated area of the south parking lot of Louisiana Oaks Park provided they display a permit in their vehicle. MSP Property Management will print and distribute the vehicle parking passes. MSP Property Management will pay the city $100 per space per year for twenty (20) spaces. In addition, they will plow the parking spaces in the winter and will reimburse the city for any damages to the parking lot resulting from its use by MSP Apartments and its authorized users. The lease agreement will be initiated on a year to year basis. Staff is supportive of trying this lease for one year. If this arrangement is not working for either party at the end of the year, it can be terminated. MSP Property Management is also pursuing adding some permanent parking to their site. FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: MSP Property Management will pay the City $100 per space per year to lease twenty (20) parking spaces. This funding will go into the Operations and Recreation park maintenance budget. VISION CONSIDERATION: Not applicable. SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS: Parking Lot Lease Agreement Prepared by: Stacy M.

LOUIS PARK The St. Louis Park Board of Zoning Appeals conducted a meeting on September 26, 2013, at St. Louis Park City Hall, 5005 Minnetonka Boulevard, St. Louis Park, Minnesota – Council Chambers Members Present: James Gainsley, Justin Kaufman, Paul Roberts, Henry Solmer Members Absent: Susan Bloyer Staff Present: Gary Morrison, Assistant Zoning Administrator Nancy Sells, Administrative Secretary 1. CALL TO ORDER – ROLL CALL Vice Chair Gainsley called the meeting to order at 6:10 p.m. 2. APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF AUGUST 22, 2013 Commissioner Roberts made a motion to approve the minutes of August 22, 2013. The motion passed on a vote of 4-0. 3. CONSENT AGENDA: None 4. PUBLIC HEARINGS A. Variance: Variance to Front Yard Location: 2930 Cavell Avenue South Applicant: Bill Worms Case No.: 13-36-VAR Gary Morrison, Assistant Zoning Administrator, presented the staff report. The applicant proposes to add a mudroom and an open covered porch to the front of the house. The applicant is also proposing to add a second story over the existing footprint. The applicant requests a 10.1 ft. variance to the required 30.0 foot front yard for the addition, and a 6.3 ft. variance to the required 20 foot front yard for the open covered porch. Mr. Morrison stated that staff recommends approval of the variances with conditions. Vice Chair Gainsley asked if most of the property is in a floodplain. Mr. Morrison responded that the elevation of the 100-year flood elevation is just beyond the actual elevation of the lake, and none of the building is in a floodplain. City Council Meeting of April 7, 2014 (Item No. 4l) Page 2 Title: Board of Zoning Appeals Minutes September 26, 2013 Vice Chair Gainsley asked about the right-of-way. Mr. Morrison said that is where the unusually large boulevard comes into play, as the distance from the curb to the property line is off-set. All the setbacks are measured from the property line, so the fact that they have a 23 ft. wide boulevard affects the front yard of this property. The property line doesn’t actually follow the curb of the street. Vice Chair Gainsley opened the public hearing. Bill Worms of Baycliff Homes, applicant, said he is working with the property owners Chris and Sarah Bauer. Vice Chair Gainsley closed the public hearing as no one else was present wishing to speak. Commissioner Roberts said he had no problem with the variance request. The grade change in the back limits the amount of area to be developed on the lot along with the 23 ft. boulevard. He commented that it is sandwiched into a box for development and there’s only so much you can do. He said he didn’t think the proposal will impact the neighborhood. There is a hardship and the solution does not impact the neighborhood. Commissioner Roberts stated that he is in favor of the request. Commissioner Solmer said he agreed with Commissioner Roberts’ comments. He said the site has a very constricted buildable area, even though theoretically it has a lot of square feet. The additions do not make the house any closer to the street except for the porch. He added that as long as the porch is kept open he does not have a problem with the variance request. Commissioner Kaufman said he had no issues with the variance request. He stated that it won’t affect the character of the neighborhood Vice Chair Gainsley said he has no problems with the variance request. He said it is a good plan and the conditions are reasonable. Vice Chair Gainsley made a motion to adopt the resolution approving a 10.1 foot variance to the required 30.0 foot front yard for the construction of an addition to the home, and a 6.3 foot variance to the required 20 foot front yard for the construction of an open covered porch with conditions recommended by staff. The motion was approved on a vote of 4-0. Mr. Morrison read the statement regarding appeal to the City Council. 5. Unfinished Business: None 6. New Business: None 7. Communications City Council Meeting of April 7, 2014 (Item No. 4l) Page 3 Title: Board of Zoning Appeals Minutes September 26, 2013 Commissioner Roberts asked about the outcome of the appeal hearing for the variance at 4701 Excelsior Blvd. which was granted by BOZA on August 22, 2013. Mr. Morrison replied that the City Council held a hearing, several people provided testimony, and the City Council unanimously voted to uphold the Board of Zoning Appeals decision to grant the variance. 8. Adjournment The meeting was adjourned at 6:25 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Nancy Sells Administrative Secretary Meeting: City Council Meeting Date: April 7, 2014 Consent Agenda Item: 4m OFFICIAL MINUTES Parks & Recreation Advisory Commission January 15, 2014, 6:30 p.m. Meeting The Rec Center Programming Office 1. Call to Order George Hagemann, Chair, called the meeting to order at 6:30 p.m. Commission members present: Jim Beneke, George Foulkes, Sarah Foulkes, Elizabeth Griffin, George Hagemann, Kirk Hawkinson, and Tom Worthington. Commission members absent: None. Staff present: Jack Sullivan, Senior Project Manager, Jason West, Recreation Superintendent, Cindy Walsh, Director of Operations and Recreation, and Stacy Voelker, Recording Secretary. Guests Present: Steve Rosen, St. Louis Park Hockey Association; Jonathan and Julian, Benilde- St. Margaret Seniors. 2. Presentations a. St. Louis Park Hockey Association (Steve Rosen) Introductions were made between Steve Rosen, President of the Hockey Association, and the Commission members. Mr. Rosen advised things are running smooth and participant numbers are consistent from last year. The goal of the Association is to increase younger participants. They have smaller teams, which provide a better opportunity for kids to get more ice time as the teams share ice. Six to seven years ago, the Hockey Association merged with Minneapolis, advised Mr. Rosen. This was successful and helped participation numbers for both organizations. They are maxed out on the ice available. They currently share the ice at The Rec Center with seven High School teams (Benilde- St. Margaret’s and St. Louis Park High School). They would use more ice and are currently working with the City on obtaining. Ms. Walsh indicated the Hockey Association has ideas to discuss with the City Council. The Commission will be advised once they can move forward. They use Hat Trick Hockey (private company) for 1% of ice and the other 99% of ice is at The St. Louis Park Rec Center. Parents prefer The Rec Center. Mr. Rosen indicated the Hockey Association receives funds from pull-tabs sold at Bunny’s. The revenue from pull-tabs went from 165 net to 365 net and are projecting 365 next year. The Association utilizes the funds to benefit the participants. They have not raised their fees in a few years; they are the least expensive association in the area. Mr. Rosen indicated they also donated $200,000 to city for capital improvement items at The Rec Center. The Hockey Association Board decided to utilize funds other places (i.e. donations) instead of reducing registration fees. The Association and city have a good partnership. City Council Meeting of April 7, 2014 (Item No. 4m) Page 2 Title: Parks & Recreation Advisory Commission Minutes January 15, 2014 Ms. Griffin commended the Hockey Association on donating money to other associations. Mr. Rosen advised they do not solicit for places to donate but do give to baseball, soccer, and the High School to provide scholarships to seniors for secondary education. The Association feels it is a community obligation to use the money in the community. Mr. Hawkinson inquired if they utilize outdoor ice. Mr. Rosen advised they currently do not. They have tried but hard to schedule due to the unpredictable weather. Ms. Walsh advised a new Public Address system will be installed in the West Arena at The Rec Center. This is possible from the money donated by the Hockey Association and the partnership with Benilde-St. Margaret’s. Mr. Rosen indicated the skate shop is also a partnership with the city. This is the second year it’s open and they offer skate sharpening, rental skates, tape, and other hockey related items. The Association is working with the ice skating director to stock items for figure skaters also. This is much needed at the rink for customers. Business has increased a lot. The revenue covers expenses; they are looking to expand. Mr. Foulkes inquired on the number of registrants. Mr. Rosen advised there are between 275 and 280. The Association offers hockey ages five to 18, has 13 traveling teams, levels 5, 6, and 7 for mites, and sponsor the Benilde-St. Margaret’s Junior Gold team. Commission members and Mr. Rosen shared appreciation for the visit. Mr. Rosen offered assistance to whatever committee needs it or has ideas for it. b. Sidewalks, Trails and Bikeways CIP (Jack Sullivan) Introductions were made between Jack Sullivan, Senior Project Manager, and the Commission members. Mr. Sullivan advised Connect the Park is a ten-year sidewalk, trail and bikeway proposal. Mr. Sullivan provided a history of the project which began in 2000. The project is to take the existing trails and sidewalks and connect them. In 2012 and 2013, the city reviewed the proposals with the public and provided education. The City Council formalized the process in 2013. The plan is to add 15 miles of sidewalk, three miles of trails and 22 miles of bikeways throughout the city. Some of the trails are near or through city parks or connecting parks to complete trial networks. There are also trails by Minnehaha Creek. Mr. Sullivan explained the definition of a walk/trail/bikeway uses a grass boulevard as a buffer, which is between five to seven feet wide. This boulevard provides a buffer from the curb or street and creates more pedestrian friendly areas. Some roads will need to have parking removed to accommodate trails but are reviewing alternative parking locations. The final design will be shown to residents soon for the 2014 official proposal. After the public meetings are held, then the proposal will be presented to the City Council. Staff hopes to begin work late March, or early April. They attempt to minimize needed altercations to areas (i.e. tree removal, etc.). This information is on the Connect the Park area of the city’s website. City Council Meeting of April 7, 2014 (Item No. 4m) Page 3 Title: Parks & Recreation Advisory Commission Minutes January 15, 2014 Staff is working to coordinate the trails with other projects that are going on including Met Council and sewer services, Operations and Recreation on park projects and other departments/projects. This is more efficient and can reduce expense. The project is estimated to cost between $10 – 20 million with a majority of the funding coming from general obligation bonds. The city will seek funding for four bridges proposed in the next 10 years, advised Mr. Sullivan. The city is always looking for other funds. They have applied for grants through Met Council and for federal money. Also, they are attempting to partner with Three Rivers Park District on their trail projects. The goal is to have strategic partners which may include Operations and Recreation, the school district, Three Rivers Park District and the Minnehaha Creek Watershed. Mr. Sullivan stated there are long term maintenance costs which need to be understood. The goal is to increase walking, decrease bussing needs and get people from the neighborhoods to the parks. Mr. Beneke commented on a contentious meeting regarding 39th Street and Zenwood Avenue South and inquired if all meetings are contentious. Mr. Sullivan advised that area has been most contentious with the Morningside/41st area similar. Resident amenities on their property may need to be removed to make room for sidewalks. In contrast, the Louisiana Oaks Park area residents are thrilled to have sidewalks to extend connections to various locations. This project also reaches into commercial districts (i.e. by Creekside Park). This item is less contentious in business areas. Mr. Hawkinson inquired how stringent staff is on the 5’ buffer. Mr. Sullivan advised 5’ is the preferred minimum for a successful sidewalk and good experience but would go down to 4’. A majority of the city right-of-ways are 10 – 15’. Some locations need private rights of entry or temporary easements. Staff has heard from the public that there is a greater need to accommodate families that are moving in to they can walk to various amenities. Mr. Hawkinson noted the narrowing of the intersection area on Alabama Avenue is challenging. Mr. Sullivan agreed it is more challenging for plow drivers. He mentioned they are discussing more with other departments to ensure roads are created or changed to accommodate the needs of all departments. They have not heard negative comments from residents but want to ensure the designs are not challenging to other departments. Ms. Walsh advised Mr. Sullivan is also the main contact who is working with MnDOT on the Highway 100 reconstruction. Mr. Sullivan has been very instrumental to ensure adequate lighting and crossings on Highway 100. Mr. Hagemann advised the city had to provide some funding for a reasonable compromise to ensure the bridge is wide enough to accommodate a bike trail. Mr. Hagemann reviewed discussions with MnDOT and advised the city compromised so there would be on road bike lane trails. While not ideal, was pleased that city staff stood behind their project and stepped up to fight for designated bike lanes on bridges. Mr. Sullivan noted they have taken the next step and now pedestrian paths have lighting on the bridge. The lighting will be integrated into other art fixtures also. Members and staff reviewed how bridges will be removed while new bridges are constructed. It will be challenging to get around the area during City Council Meeting of April 7, 2014 (Item No. 4m) Page 4 Title: Parks & Recreation Advisory Commission Minutes January 15, 2014 reconstruction. Mr. Sullivan advised the Minnetonka Boulevard Bridge will be the first reconstructed. They anticipate an exact schedule within the next month or so. Mr. Hagemann advised he was the visioning chair for the trail and sidewalk project. He feels great Council support and they are interested in spending funds on the proposal. He indicated his appreciation to Jack for his support and offered to assist in any way. They hope to build all projects, advised Mr. Sullivan, as they push through the challenges which include designing, funding, residential areas and public education. Mr. Hawkinson inquired how the routes for 2014 were chosen. Mr. Sullivan indicated initially, staff defined the lines on a map. That information was brought forth to the public, refined and Council chose which projects to undertake. A lot of public input was received and the neighborhood chose. Mr. Sullivan indicated they are at the point of presenting the specific designs to the residents. Council wants a policy in place to show that staff is doing everything we can to accommodate residents. Commission members and Mr. Sullivan shared appreciation for the visit. 3. Approval of Minutes a. October 23, 2013 It was moved by Commission member Worthington to approve the minutes as presented. The motion passed 7 – 0. 4. Old Business a. Approve 2014 Annual Calendar and Goals Ms. Walsh asked for any changes or discussion. Mr. Beneke inquired if the Commission or Operations and Recreation could get involved in the Health in the Park Initiative. Ms. Walsh advised it is a new initiative and a representative from HIP will present at the February PRAC meeting. Members discussed and agreed to add Support to the goals. This includes supporting city initiatives such as Health in the Park or other groups. Mr. Worthington would like to see a compilation of all youth activities and participants annually. Also would like participation numbers from the associations. Mr. Hagemann would like to include that information on the annual goal summary. Mr. Hagemann asked for clarification on the goal that states Community Recreation Facility: Involvement in the ongoing exploration of a city recreation facility. Ms. Walsh advised that is specific to the potential community center. City Council Meeting of April 7, 2014 (Item No. 4m) Page 5 Title: Parks & Recreation Advisory Commission Minutes January 15, 2014 Members suggested inviting the Environmental & Sustainability Commission to the Minnehaha Creek Clean up. The Commission adopted their first work plan at their January meeting. The main goal of the Commission is to have community visions reflected in their process and be involved in green step cities. In 2014 they will undertake a city-wide visioning process to get an idea of specific focuses in the city. They will then rank the projects. Have good foundation. Mr. Hagemann commented the commission started from scratch and now have a good foundation. Ms. Voelker will make the changes discussed to the goals, send to the members for approval then will present to Council at an upcoming meeting. 5. New Business a. Present George Hagemann with MRPA Commission Award Ms. Walsh advised Mr. Hagemann was nominated for a Board and Commission award through the Minnesota Recreation and Park Association. Mr. Hagemann was awarded the award but was unable to attend the MRPA presentation as he was out of town. Ms. Walsh was pleased to present the award to Mr. Hagemann. Mr. Hagemann accepted the award on behalf of all the Commission members and thanked staff. b. Elect Officials for 2014 Mr. Hagemann indicated in the past, the Vice Chair has stepped into the Chair role and a new Vice Chair elected. Mr. Beneke accepted nomination for Chair. Ms. Griffin was nominated as Vice Chair and accepted nomination. Worthington motioned to approve Beneke as Chair and Griffin as Vice Chair. The motion passed 7 – 0. c. 40th and France Area Update (Cindy Walsh) Ms. Walsh reviewed the 40th and France Avenue location and indicated a portion of it is owned by the City of St. Louis Park. The lot is also owned by Edina and Minneapolis. The top 1/3 of the area is located in St. Louis Park. The bottom 2/3 of the property is located in the City of Edina. They believe the land was acquired from a farmer. In the past, St. Louis Park proposed an official off-leash dog park on that land which was not accepted. The City of Minneapolis has declared the parcel as excess land and approached the cities of Edina and St. Louis Park indicating the land was for sale. An appraisal showed a majority of the area is located in a flood plain which would be challenging to develop. Minneapolis indicated it would rather sell the land to Edina and St. Louis Park versus a developer even though it is zoned residential. Mr. Foulkes inquired how Edina is reacting to this. Ms. Walsh advised city assessors from both cities are involved. Minneapolis feels approximately 27 lots can be built of which our assessor feels 12-16 could be built in that area. No decision has been made as neither city wants to pay for the land and the Councils concur. City Council Meeting of April 7, 2014 (Item No. 4m) Page 6 Title: Parks & Recreation Advisory Commission Minutes January 15, 2014 The Edina and St. Louis Park Assessors believe 1.5 million for that area would be a fair price. Minneapolis felt that price is too low based on their theory that 27 lots could be built. Mr. Worthington commented the water pump station would need to stay although it could be moved to another area on the site. Members discussed the very unique piece of property. Currently there are undesirable activities going on which makes it a liability to Minneapolis. It is an unofficial social area for youth. This liability would then become ours if we purchased it. The area would be a nice addition to Minikahda Vista Park. Most of the higher ground is in St. Louis Park so part of it could be developed. Residents in that area have had nature in their backyard and may need to redefine their plot. This is a great opportunity for Edina and St. Louis Park to work together, stated Ms. Walsh. Members discussed making an off-leash dog park and having amenities available that are not at other parks. Ms. Walsh mentioned Edina and St. Louis Park are meeting on Friday to discuss the proposal from Minneapolis. 6. Staff Communication Mr. West introduced himself and provided a background for the Commission. He worked for the City of New Brighton for nine years as the Assistant Recreation Director. Prior to that, he worked for the City of Cottage Grove. New Brighton has a community center which includes the Eagles Nest, a library, Subway, massage therapist, family therapies (tenant leasing), and others. He’s worked a great deal with legal teams and oversaw all recreational programs, aquatic programs and rental facilities, including a golf course. Mr. West was born and raised in Cottage Grove. He is married with two sons. The Commission welcomed Mr. West. The Spring/Summer brochure is currently being created, Mr. West advised. The department will begin utilizing Constant Contact as a communication tool which has proven successful for the Ice Skating program. Ms. Walsh updated the Commission on Council items including the proposed light rail. There will not be much known about light rail until the Governor releases information. The Commission was update d on a new study to begin in February regarding the proposed community center. A consultant has been utilized to review parking needs. A parking ramp is recommended but working on ensuring the size of the ramp is correct which results in cost adjustments. HGA is also working to provide costs of each program individually so staff and Council can review. Staff keeps moving forward on the proposal as Council is still interested are but currently looking at all the large projects in St. Louis Park. Mr. West will be involved in this project also as he brings a lot of knowledge from past experiences throughout his career. Mr. West thanked Commission. City Council Meeting of April 7, 2014 (Item No. 4m) Page 7 Title: Parks & Recreation Advisory Commission Minutes January 15, 2014 7. Member Communication Mr. Foulkes congratulated Mr. Hagemann, Mr. Beneke and Ms. Griffin on their nominations plus welcomed Mr. West. Mr. Worthington welcomed Mr. West. He inquired if there is a cat colony in St. Louis Park and suggested it may be viable to include cats in the feeding ordinance. Ms. Voelker will locate ordinance and provide to staff for review. Mr. Hawkinson inquired if neighborhood associations have their own websites and if they are tied to the city. Ms. Walsh believes some do and indicated Beanna Erickson, Community Liaison, will be invited to a future meeting. Mr. Hagemann advised Susan Schneck, one of the original founders, resigned in late 2013. She will still volunteer but not in as large of capacity as Director. Ms. Walsh advised Ms. Schneck will be recognized at the City Council’s first meeting in February. Friends of the Arts is in the midst of hiring a paid Executive Director. The Executive Director will work 25 hours per week and make $30,000 per year. Twelve applications were received; five chosen for initial screening and three will be interviewed. Final interviews will occur late January. The city’s Human Resource Department assisted with questions and interviews. The goal is for that person to create enough development to fund their position as full-time. 8. Other / Future Agenda Items Ms. Voelker distributed a tentative 2014 meeting schedule to the members. 9. Adjournment It was moved by Commission member Worthington to adjourn at 8:09 p.m. The motion passed 7 – 0.

A motion was made by Secretary Rhodes, seconded by Commissioner Lee to approve the Fire Captain Eligibility Roster and certify the top three names: Steve Powers, Shawn Glapa, and Eric Curran-Bakken. Motion carried unanimously. 7) Discussion about anticipated future vacancies continued. As there are multiple expected retirements in 2014, Commissioner Lee asked if the Commission could certify another name on the Firefighter Eligibility Roster to speed the hiring process. The Commission and Union were supportive of this move, as long as it was understood that the first hire must be made from names 1, 2, or 3 on the roster. A motion was made by Commissioner Lee, seconded by Secretary Rhodes to certify the next name on the Firefighter Eligibility Roster: Tony Hanson. Motion carried unanimously. 8) Chief Koering presented his first annual report (attached). Highlights include a statistical review of 2013 with fewer structure fires and increased medical calls. A review of major 2013 fires/incidents was presented, including a well-publicized incident where our staff heroically saved the lives of three children by pulling them from a car submerged in a freezing holding pond. Other areas of discussion were education, technology, training, and staffing. In the future, Commissioners have requested to have a copy of the Chief’s Report prior to the meeting. 9) The next meeting will be held at Fire Station 2.

SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS: None Prepared by: Kay Midura, Office Assistant - City Clerk’s Office Reviewed by: Nancy Deno, Deputy City Manager Approved by: Tom Harmening, City Manager Meeting: City Council Meeting Date: April 7, 2014 Public Hearing Agenda Item: 6a EXECUTIVE SUMMARY TITLE: 2014 Connect the Park! Projects – Project No. 4014-0000 RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt Resolution accepting the project report, establishing Improvement Project No. 4014-2000, approving plans and specifications and authorizing advertisement for bids for these improvements. POLICY CONSIDERATION: The proposed improvements are consistent with the City Councils adopted Connect the Park! sidewalk, trail and bikeway system plan. SUMMARY: Upon the approval of Connect the Park! master plan by the City Council in June 2013 staff began focusing on the feasibility analysis for twelve sidewalk segments for construction in 2014. Staff has utilized the last nine months to engage the public in designing sidewalks that achieve the goal of Connect the Park! while avoiding, minimizing or mitigating many of the impacts to the residents who live along these proposed segments. Staff has presented the 2014 Connect the Park! projects at multiple public open houses and two Council study sessions. From these discussions staff is presenting a recommendation for construction of six segments of sidewalk that total over 7000 feet (1.3 miles). 1. 39th Street Sidewalk (Natchez Ave to France Ave) 2. 41st Street Sidewalk (Utica Ave to Wooddale Ave) 3. Joppa Avenue Sidewalk (North of Minnetonka to North of Sunset Blvd) 4. Louisiana Avenue Sidewalk (Lake St to Oxford St) 5. Morningside Road Sidewalk (Utica Ave to Browndale Ave) 6. Oxford Street Sidewalk (West of Louisiana Ave to MSC) If Council would like to take additional time to discuss the proposals, the resolution accepting the improvements could be continued to the April 21, 2014 Council meeting without negatively affecting the bidding and construction schedule. FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: The construction cost for the 2014 proposed project is estimated at $1,087,900. This includes monies for engineering and easement acquisition. The original estimated cost for implementing the entire 10 year plan was $17 - 24 million dollars. The anticipated funding for these improvements is from the issuance of General Obligation bonds. VISION CONSIDERATION: St. Louis Park is committed to being a connected and engaged community.

Projects – Project No. 4014-0000 DISCUSSION BACKGROUND: The following pages of the summary discuss the design modifications staff used to minimize the impacts to the property owners along these sidewalk segments. These segments were discussed in greater detail at the March 10 and March 17, 2014 Council study sessions. SIDEWALK SEGMENTS 39th Street Sidewalk (Natchez Ave to France Ave) Community Significance: Connections to Susan Lindgren Elementary School, Excelsior and Grand, Minnekahda Vista Park, and the Minneapolis chain of lakes pathway system. Public Process: Staff has held two public open houses and numerous on-site meetings with residents to discuss issues and concerns. Design: The construction of a six foot wide concrete sidewalk with a variable width boulevard (4-6 feet) along the south side of 39th Street from France Avenue to Inglewood Avenue then switching to the north side until it ties into an existing segment of sidewalk at Monterey Avenue. In order to minimize impacts to driveway lengths and boulevard trees staff is recommending narrowing the north side of the road from 30 foot to 26 foot between Inglewood Ave and Lynn Ave. Along with the narrowing these 3 blocks would be posted no parking along the north side of the road. This segment will require four temporary easements in order to blend the existing driveways and steps into the new sidewalk. Walk Type: This was originally proposed to be a residential walk and would be maintained by the residents for snow removal. However, based on Council feedback during the study session on March 17, 2014 staff is recommending this become a community walk and that the City perform snow removal. Cost: Approximately $370,000 for 2,300 feet of sidewalk. Construction Schedule: This is planned to be independent sidewalk work that can be completed in the summer of 2014. 41st Street Sidewalk (Utica Ave to Wooddale Ave) Community Significance: An east/west connection that utilizes the Highway 100 pedestrian bridge overpass to connect both the Browndale and Brookside neighborhoods to the west and Susan Lindgren Elementary School to the east. Public Process: Staff has held two public open houses and numerous on-site meetings with residents to discuss issues and concerns. Design: Staff is recommending the construction of a six foot wide concrete sidewalk along the south side of 41st Street from Highway 100 to Wooddale Ave. This sidewalk would be a back of curb walk (no boulevard). The south curb line would be moved north City Council Meeting of April 7, 2014 (Item No. 6a) Page 3 Title: 2014 Connect the Park! Projects – Project No. 4014-0000 to narrow the street from approximately 27.5 feet to 24 feet. Along with the narrowing the street it would be posted no parking along the south side of the road. Walk Type: This is proposed to be a community walk and would be maintained by the City for snow removal. Cost: Approximately $95,000 for 850 feet of sidewalk Construction Schedule: Staff would recommend constructing this segment in conjunction with the Pavement Management Area 2 street reconstruction that will be occurring in summer 2014. Joppa Avenue Sidewalk (North of Minnetonka to North of Sunset Blvd) Community Significance: Connection for the Fern Hill and Triangle neighborhoods, the synagogues in the area, and Fern Hill Park. Public Process: Staff has held two public open houses and numerous on site meetings with residents and property owners to discuss issues and concerns. Design: Staff is proposing a five foot sidewalk and a five foot boulevard along the west side of Joppa Avenue from just north of Minnetonka Boulevard to the south end of the Torah Academy. Due to some steep driveway grades staff is recommending narrowing the roadway near the intersection with Sunset Boulevard. The west curb line would be moved east five feet. Along with the narrowing the street would be posted no parking along the west side of the road through the narrowed section. Permanent right of way, sidewalk easements and temporary construction easements are needed to facilitate construction of this segment. Walk Type: This was originally proposed to be a residential walk and would be maintained by the residents for snow removal. However, after the study session on March 17, 2014 staff is recommending this become a community walk and that the City perform snow removal. Cost: Approximately $110,000 for 400 feet of sidewalk Construction Schedule: This is planned to be independent sidewalk work that can be completed in the summer of 2014. Louisiana Avenue Sidewalk (Lake St to Oxford St) Community Significance: This project will tie directly in to the Highway 7/Louisiana Ave sidewalk and extend south along the west side of Louisiana Ave to Oxford Street. This will pass near the future Louisiana Ave LRT station and complete connections from Louisiana Oaks Park south to Methodist Hospital and the newly constructed Minnehaha Creek trail project. Public Process: Staff has held two public open houses. The open houses were very lightly attended and there has been minimal feedback from the commercial property owners along this segment. City Council Meeting of April 7, 2014 (Item No. 6a) Page 4 Title: 2014 Connect the Park! Projects – Project No. 4014-0000 Design: Staff is proposing a six foot wide concrete sidewalk with a variable width boulevard (typically five to seven foot) along the west side of Louisiana Ave from Oxford Street north to the limits of the Highway 7/Louisiana reconstruction project. This segment will require some temporary easements to facilitate construction of driveways and parking lots near the southwest corner of Lake Street and Louisiana Ave. Additional permanent easement at this corner is also required. Walk Type: This is proposed to be a community walk and would be maintained by the City for snow removal. Cost: Approximately $105,000 for 1,200 feet of sidewalk. Construction Schedule: Proposed to be constructed at approximately the same time as the work associated with the Highway 7 and Louisiana Ave improvements. Morningside Road Sidewalk (Utica Ave to Browndale Ave) Community Significance: Connection for the Browndale neighborhood to Browndale Park and larger sidewalk networks to the north, south and east Public Process: Staff has held two public open houses and numerous on site meetings with residents to discuss issues and concerns. Design: Staff is recommending the construction of a five foot concrete sidewalk along the south side of Morningside Road from Mackey Avenue to Browndale Avenue. This sidewalk would a back of curb walk (no boulevard). The south curb line would be moved north to narrow the street from approximately 27.5 feet to 24 feet. Along with the narrowing the street it would be posted no parking along the south side of the road. Walk Type: This is proposed to be a community walk and would be maintained by the City for snow removal. Cost: Approximately $70,000 for 870 feet of sidewalk. Construction Schedule: Staff would recommend constructing this segment in conjunction with the Pavement Management Area 2 street reconstruction that will be occurring in summer 2014. Oxford Street Sidewalk (West of Louisiana Ave to MSC) Community Significance: The Oxford Street sidewalk will connect Creekside Park and the Minnehaha Creek trail on the west to the future SWLRT platform, Methodist Hospital and Louisiana Avenue on the east. Public Process: Staff has held two public open houses. The open houses were very lightly attended and there has been minimum discussion from the commercial property owners along this segment. City Council Meeting of April 7, 2014 (Item No. 6a) Page 5 Title: 2014 Connect the Park! Projects – Project No. 4014-0000 Design: Staff is proposing a six foot wide concrete sidewalk with a seven foot grass boulevard along the south side of Oxford Street from Louisiana Avenue to the sidewalk in from of the Municipal Service Center (MSC). This segment will require some temporary easements to facilitate reconstruction of the commercial driveways. Walk Type: This is proposed to be a community walk and would be maintained by the City for snow removal. Cost: Approximately $110,000 for 950 feet of sidewalk Construction Schedule: Proposed to be constructed at approximately the same time as the work associated with the Highway 7 and Louisiana Avenue improvements. Staff is recommending that the following five segments receive additional analysis, coordination and study prior to bringing them forward to Council for approval. Cedar Lake Road Sidewalk (Virginia Ave. to Texas Ave.) The is the first segment in a much larger system along the south side of Cedar Lake Road that stretches from Boone Ave to Nevada Ave. This segment from Virginia Ave to Texas Ave will be evaluated when the remainder of Cedar Lake Road is studied in greater detail. The anticipated schedule for Cedar Lake Road is 2021. Virginia Avenue (28th St to Cedar Lake Rd) Staff is recommending that the Virginia Avenue Sidewalk from 28th Street to Cedar Lake Road be postponed until additional progress can be made with BNSF railroad regarding the rail bridge over Virginia Avenue. Two open houses were held to discuss installing a new sidewalk on the west side of Virginia Avenue from 28th Street to Cedar Lake Road. Most of the discussion from the meeting indicated that the lack of a “pedestrian portal” on the west side of the road and an undersized portal on the east side of the road made this segment undesirable for pedestrians and cyclists. Staff has been working with the railroad to better understand the ability to open up these portals for pedestrian and bicycle use. Until this is resolved it does not seem prudent to move forward with designing sidewalk either north or south of this bridge. 32nd Street Trail (Pennsylvania Ave to Oregon Ave) Louisiana Avenue Trail (36th St to 32nd St) Walker Street Sidewalk (Quebec Ave to 37th St) Walker Street Trail (Adjacent to Louisiana Oaks Park) These four segments of sidewalk “ring” Louisiana Oaks Park and the former Reilly Tar & Chemical Site. The City is required to complete additional permitting in order to complete any excavation near the site. The timing of the permitting necessitates that these segments be postponed until the 2015 construction season. This aligns well with the 2015 Municipal State Aid road project proposed for Walker St, the completion of the Highway 7/ Louisiana interchange project and the improvements programmed for Louisiana Oaks Park. City Council Meeting of April 7, 2014 (Item No. 6a) Page 6 Title: 2014 Connect the Park! Projects – Project No. 4014-0000 Next Steps: The proposed schedule for the segments recommended by staff to facilitate construction in 2014 is as follows: Council Public Hearing April 7, 2014 Council Approval of Project Report April 7 or 21, 2014 Council Approves Construction Bids June 2, 2014 Construction Mid June through October 2014 FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: All the proposed sidewalks for 2014 and beyond are challenging to build in a fully development community such St. Louis Park. The design and implementation of these segments require flexibility in design standards and creativity in design alternatives. Each sidewalk segment is unique and requires its own set of design solutions to minimize and mitigate impacts to the community. Often this requires more expensive solutions then is typically considered for standard sidewalk construction. The increase in costs to construct these segments was acknowledged in the original estimates during the Connect the Park! discussion and are now evident during feasibility analysis. Staff is confident that the estimates shown above are within the budget approved by Council in June 2013. PROJECT CORRESPONDENCE: Since engaging the public last November staff has received a number of new correspondence. Attached are resident letters, a petition and a letter from Susan Lindgren Elementary school. City Council Meeting of April 7, 2014 (Item No. 6a) Page 7 Title: 2014 Connect the Park!

Projects – Project No. 4014-0000 Page 20 Please put sidewalks in so we as parents feel safe walking our kids to school. Melissa Lange St. Louis Park, MN 55416 Jan 30, 2014 I love living on 40th St. in St. Louis Park. My wife and I have been here since 1994. But I've always thought it both uncivilized and unsafe that we don't have sidewalks for kids and pedestrians to share. My wife and I like to go for walks, but we have to wear flashing lights on our bodies, especially in the winter, because we're walking in the street to get around! WHY would a city that cares about the health and well-being of its citizens NOT provide sidewalks. Hey, I hate shoveling as much as the next guy. But I also don't like being buzzed by fast moving traffic just because I want to go for a walk in my neighborhood. Gary Bingner St Louis Park, MN 55416 Jan 30, 2014 Safety First!

It will only get worse with the new housing planned at Wooddale and 40th. People already use our block as a short cut to avoid the intersection at Excelsior and Wooddale. That intersection is a mess, poorly planned and a cluster. pam st louis park, MN 55416 Jan 30, 2014 Margie SLP, MN 55416 Jan 30, 2014 Alexandra Pokorny St. Louis Park, MN 55416 Jan 29, 2014 Mindy Krone St Louis Park, MN 55416 Jan 29, 2014 My children are in the Minikahda Vista nhood all of the time visiting school friends. They deserve safe passage in their community. I respect that these homeowners have enjoyed the City's property for many years, but it is time the City to use its easement rights for the public good. It should have been done long ago.

POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does the City Council wish to continue implementation of the City’s Pavement Management Program? SUMMARY: Annually the City rehabilitates several miles of local residential streets. This year, the streets to be rehabilitated are located in Pavement Management Area 2 (see attached map). The street rehabilitation work generally consists of removing and replacing the existing bituminous pavement and replacing portions of concrete curb and gutter as needed. Other work includes sewer repairs and select watermain replacement. FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: This project was included in the City’s Capital Improvement Program with an estimated budget of $1,914,160.00. The estimate assumed that this project would only include street rehabilitation and about $316,000 of watermain replacement. Due to the condition of the street, concrete curb, and the need to replace watermain, sanitary sewer and storm sewer on segments of the road, full-depth pavement rehabilitation is necessary. Project funding will be provided by the Pavement Management Fund and Utility Funds. The Engineer’s estimate for the total cost of the project is $2,666,627 which includes 5% for contingencies and 10% for engineering & administration. Cost and funding details are as follows: Estimated Costs Construction Cost $2,318,806 Contingencies (5%) $115,940 Engineering & Administration (10%) $231,881 Total $2,666,627 Funding Sources Pavement Management Fund $1,604,771 Sanitary Sewer Fund $131,951 Storm Sewer Fund $149,134 Watermain Fund $668,771 City of Edina $112,000 Total $2,666,627 VISION CONSIDERATION: Not applicable. SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS: Discussion Resolution 2014 Local Street Rehab Exhibit Joint Powers Agreement - Edina Prepared by: Jack Sullivan, Senior Engineering Project Manager Reviewed by: Debra Heiser, Engineering Director Jay Hall , Utilities Superintendent Approved by: Tom Harmening, City Manager City Council Meeting of April 7, 2014 (Item No. 8a) Page 2 Title: Local Street Rehabilitation Project – Pavement Management Area 2 – Project # 2013-1000 DISCUSSION BACKGROUND: Several years ago, the City Council adopted a Pavement Management Program to proactively address the deteriorating streets within the city. Many of the roads are now approaching 40 years of age or more. The city’s streets are still in relatively good condition due to the fact that the streets were built well, are generally situated on good soils, utilize curb & gutter for drainage and have been well maintained. City maintenance crews have continually worked to keep streets in good condition using maintenance strategies such as patching, crack filling and seal coating. However, as pavements age, more aggressive maintenance strategies are needed to prolong their life. The Pavement Management Program was developed to extend pavement life and enhance system-wide performance in a cost-effective and efficient way by providing the right pavement strategy at the right time. Using the City’s pavement management software, staff obtains street condition ratings and monitors their performance. Staff then evaluates the condition of streets and selects cost-effective treatments to extend pavement life. 2014 Proposed Project: This year’s work, Project No. 2013-1000, will be performed in Area 2 of the City’s eight pavement management areas. It includes work in the Browndale, Minikahda Vista, and Triangle Neighborhoods. The attached map identifies which streets in Area 2 have been selected for rehabilitation. Selection was based on street condition surveys and field evaluations to determine current conditions of the pavement, curb and gutter, and the city’s underground utilities. A team of staff members worked together to select streets and to recommend appropriate rehabilitation techniques for inclusion in this year’s Pavement Management Projects. The team included staff from Operations, Utilities, and Engineering. The residential streets selected this year for rehabilitation were all originally constructed in a similar fashion. The structure of most of the streets consists of a two (2) inch layer of asphalt pavement over six (6) inches of quality gravel. Staff has determined that an appropriate treatment for rehabilitating the streets consists of removing all of the old asphalt pavement and replacing it with three (3-1/2) inches of new pavement. The thicker asphalt section is being used to provide for heavier vehicles, such as garbage trucks, and the increased volume of traffic on the streets. This will also allow for flexibility of future maintenance. For example, with a 2-inch thickness of asphalt, a typical mill and overlay is not possible because the asphalt layer is too thin. With 3-1/2 inch thickness, 1.5 inches of asphalt can be milled off and replaced with the same thickness of new pavement. The Engineering Staff has prepared plans and specifications for this year’s project. In conjunction with the pavement replacement, water main will also be replaced on Toledo Avenue from Wooddale Avenue to Morningside Road and on Utica from Wooddale to 41st 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 watermain, 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. City Council Meeting of April 7, 2014 (Item No. 8a) Page 3 Title: Local Street Rehabilitation Project – Pavement Management Area 2 – Project # 2013-1000 Work in Edina Staff is recommending that we reconstruct Brook, Coolidge and Mackey Avenues from the south city limits of St. Louis Park south to north side of 44th Street in the City of Edina. Edina has agreed to the reconstruction work that totals approximately $112,000. It is the policy of Edina to assess residents for street reconstruction work. The assessments that Edina will charge their residents range from $1,500 to $5,000. A joint powers agreement between the City of Edina and St. Louis Park has been completed and is attached for approval. Sidewalk Construction In addition to the street rehabilitation project, the Engineering staff is completing the feasibility analysis and public hearing process for sidewalks that are proposed to be built on Morningside Road and 41st Street. The public hearing for this portion of the work is scheduled for April 7th. If Council approves the installation of these two segments of sidewalk, staff would include these segments with this contract for cost savings and contractor coordination efforts. The estimated costs for the pavement management project do not include these two sidewalk segments, the sidewalk construction will be bid as a bid alternate. Council will have the ability to accept or reject this bid alternate during the May 19, 2014 council meeting. Private Utility Construction 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 completed some of their replacement work last fall and will be finishing up the gas main lines and service lines on all the streets in the project area this spring. CenterPoint Energy has a larger gas main to replace along Wooddale Avenue from Excelsior Boulevard to 42 ½ Street. Due to the location of this main it is expected that Wooddale Avenue will either be closed for a 3 weeks or reduced to a one way road (most likely south bound only). If this closure is necessary the posted detour will be to use Quentin Avenue from Excelsior Blvd to 42nd Street. Public process: Staff the property owners and neighborhood association leaders to an open house to review the preliminary plans for the proposed street construction work on February 27, 2014. Twelve residents attended the open house. Typical questions were raised about the timing of the project and what construction impacts would be felt by the residents while the project is underway. The project is anticipated to start in May and will last approximately 5 months. Work on any one block will usually last about five to six weeks. Streets with watermain work may take longer to complete. During that time, crews will replace the curb and gutter, if needed, then remove the pavement, grade the street, and then pave the first layer of bituminous. During this work, residents will nearly always have access to their driveways and overnight parking will be allowed on the street. However, driveways will not be accessible for up to one week if concrete aprons are replaced. The final layer of bituminous is typically placed near the end of the project and will result in another day of disruption for any one block.
