TITLE:
Brewer Taprooms
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
No formal action at this time. Staff desires to discuss with the Council the idea of allowing
taprooms at breweries via zoning and liquor licensing amendments.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
The policy question is whether or not the City Council would like to allow brewer tap rooms, and
if so, direct staff to pursue the necessary zoning and liquor license ordinance amendments for
them.
BACKGROUND:
In 2011, State Statutes were amended to allow Brewer Taprooms to allow breweries to serve
beer on site. The Statute defines Brewer Taprooms as a place that would allow the “on-sale of
malt liquor produced by the brewer for consumption on the premises of or adjacent to one
brewery location owned by the brewer.” Statutes allow taprooms for breweries that brew
250,000 barrels or less of malt liquor annually. (See Statute attached)
The City was recently approached by Steel Toe Brewing about having a Brewer Taproom at its
facility in the Beltline Industrial Park (letter attached). In order to allow a taproom, the city
would have to change its liquor and zoning ordinances.
Microbreweries are becoming very popular in Minnesota. Steel Toe Brewing receives several
requests monthly for tours, meets the criteria, and would like to add a taproom for those people
visiting its facility.
The following MN cities have recently passed Taproom license ordinances as allowed by state
statute (attached): New Ulm, Stillwater, St. Paul, Minneapolis, and Walker. The only alcoholic
beverages sold or consumed on the premises of a taproom are the malt liquor produced by the
brewer upon the brewery premises. According to these cities’ ordinances, the brewer taproom
licenses are very different and therefore were considered exempt from maintaining minimum
food service requirements because they do not qualify as a restaurant, and are considered a
separate classification (not an on-sale intoxicating liquor license or wine license requiring a
food/liquor sales percentage ratio). The cities fees for this taproom license ranged from $200 to
$5,000. All Brewer Tap Room liquor licenses require approval by the Alcohol and Gambling
Enforcement Division prior to becoming effective.
Zoning Ordinance
The Zoning Ordinance does not allow taprooms as defined by State Statute, nor does it allow a
“Bar” land use, which is defined as “…a facility where the primary use is the sale of alcoholic
beverages for consumption on the premise. It further defines the characteristics of a “Bar” as
including late hours, high parking demand, noise, trash and litter and heavy off-peak traffic.
Special Study Session Meeting of May 21, 2012 (Item No. 1) Page 2
Subject: Brewer Taprooms
A taproom differs from a bar in the following ways:
1. Only products produced on site are sold on site.
2. The hours of operation are greatly reduced. For example, Steel Toe is proposing to close
by 8 p.m. on Sundays and Tuesday through Thursday, 10 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, and
would be closed on Mondays.
3. Due to the lack of selection and reduced hours, parking would not be in as high of demand
as would be experienced with a bar.
If the City Council would like to allow taprooms, the zoning ordinance would need to be
amended. A “Taproom” land use could be created in the Zoning Ordinance to permit a brewer to
sell their product for consumption on-site. The use would be placed into a zoning district, such
as Business Park. Conditions could be attached to the use to address concerns the Council may
have regarding hours of operation or potential or perceived nuisances.
Additional accessory uses that are complementary to the brewery and taproom could also be
permitted. For example allowing an “Assembly” use would make it possible for the
brewery/taproom to host small events.
Liquor Ordinance
If the City Council would like to allow taprooms, the liquor ordinance would need to be
amended in the following ways by adding a new classification and definition for a Brewer
Taproom License:
• The language would include the statute requirements for this type of brewer license and
any additional requirements as determined by the council for this type of license.
• The amendment would be similar to the off sale liquor license amendment adopted by
council in 2010 when language was added from state statute to allow brewers to sell
“growlers”. In the case of taprooms, ordinance language would also follow the language in
state law (attached).
• A Taproom license fee would need to be adopted.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION:
Not applicable.
VISION CONSIDERATION:
St. Louis Park is committed to promoting and integrating arts, culture and community aesthetics
in all city initiatives.

Subd. 6b.Brewer taproom license.
(a) A municipality may issue the holder of a brewer's license under subdivision 6,
clause (c), (i), or (j), a brewer taproom license. A brewer taproom license authorizes on-
sale of malt liquor produced by the brewer for consumption on the premises of or adjacent
to one brewery location owned by the brewer. Nothing in this subdivision precludes the
holder of a brewer taproom license from also holding a license to operate a restaurant at
the brewery. Section 340A.409 shall apply to a license issued under this subdivision. All
provisions of this chapter that apply to a retail liquor license shall apply to a license issued
under this subdivision unless the provision is explicitly inconsistent with this subdivision.
(b) A brewer may only have one taproom license under this subdivision, and may not
have an ownership interest in a brewery licensed under subdivision 6, clause (d).
(c) A municipality may not issue a brewer taproom license to a brewer if the brewer
seeking the license, or any person having an economic interest in the brewer seeking the
license or exercising control over the brewer seeking the license, is a brewer that brews
more than 250,000 barrels of malt liquor annually or a winery that produces more than
250,000 gallons of wine annually.
(d) The municipality shall impose a licensing fee on a brewer holding a brewer
taproom license under this subdivision, subject to limitations applicable to license fees
under section 340A.408, subdivision 2, paragraph (a).
(e) A municipality shall, within ten days of the issuance of a license under this
subdivision, inform the commissioner of the licensee's name and address and trade name,
and the effective date and expiration date of the license. The municipality shall also
inform the commissioner of a license transfer, cancellation, suspension, or revocation
during the license period.

1. Project Update - Highway 100 Reconstruction Project
Mr. Brink presented the staff report and presented the tentative project schedule, noting that a
public open house will be held on May 15th at the high school; in addition, informational
meetings were recently held for residents most impacted by the project. He stated that the Noise
Advisory Committee has met to hear from Mn/DOT and the noise consultants regarding the
public process for installing noise walls. He stated that Mn/DOT’s analysis indicates that noise
walls will be part of the project and Mn/DOT will go back out to the public later this summer to
explain how residents can keep or take out the noise walls. He indicated that Mn/Dot is working
toward achieving municipal consent from the City this fall, leading to plans and specifications,
right-of-way acquisition, and construction in 2015. He presented the most recent diagram of the
project layout and stated one of the questions that has been raised has to do with what happens to
the extra space when the existing ramps come out. He explained that Mn/DOT is performing
drainage analysis in this area and noise walls are proposed to be installed in this area. He also
pointed out that the layout provides for removal of the ramp from westbound Highway 7 to
southbound Highway 100.
Councilmember Spano asked if Mn/DOT will retain the right-of-way in the existing off-ramp
from southbound Highway 100 onto Highway 7. He questioned whether it would be possible to
expand the park in this area.
Mr. Brink replied that this will depend on whether Mn/DOT needs the land and stated the City
could consider expanding the park if excess land is available. He then discussed the tight
diamond interchange at Minnetonka Boulevard and Highway 100 and noted that the biggest
difference is that drivers exiting onto Minnetonka Boulevard from southbound Highway 100 will
no longer end up behind the Holiday station.
Councilmember Sanger asked if Mn/DOT will take the car wash from the Holiday station.
Mr. Brink explained that the Holiday station will lose its access off of Minnetonka Boulevard
and Mn/DOT will have to acquire property from Holiday but it is not yet known how much of
the Holiday property will be impacted. He stated that Mn/DOT has been talking with residents
along Utica Avenue and any work in this area would be a separate project. He noted that people
have been generally favorable of the proposed layout. He stated that residents along Toledo
City Council Meeting of May 21, 2012 (Item No. 3a) Page 2
Subject: Special Study Session Minutes of May 7, 2012
were a little disappointed that the street/alley behind their homes will be narrowed but these
residents will still have access to their garages. He indicated the City has stressed the importance
of bicycle and pedestrian movement to the County and Mn/DOT and alternatives will be flushed
out at the public meetings. He then presented the results of the noise analysis which indicate a
noise wall will be required to extend north of the project area because of the apartment buildings
that fall within the range of the project area. He noted that placement of the noise walls is
preliminary and the exact location has not yet been determined.
Councilmember Mavity stated she can live with the proposed layout but expressed continued
concern about north-south connections. She stated that Council has discussed adding a north-
south connection as one of the goals of this project and was previously told during its discussions
regarding light rail that if the City does not get a north-south access through the Highway 100
project, a north-south access might be provided as part of another project. She stated the only
option appears to be Raleigh Avenue but those plans do not appear to be anywhere near
realization. She indicated this provides no guarantee that light rail will address the north-south
access, adding that Ottawa Avenue is entirely inadequate for this access.
Mr. Rardin indicated that Community Development has been meeting with SRF and is actively
pursuing the north-south access.
Councilmember Mavity stated that Raleigh Avenue has been presented as the best option for
traffic flow but this represents a big change in how this area functions. She expressed concern
about agreeing to Raleigh Avenue as the north-south access if the consultants determine that
Raleigh Avenue will not work for this purpose and was worried the City might lose its
opportunity to get a north-south connection during the Highway 100 project. She stated at one
point the layout showed a two-way frontage road on the east side of Highway 100.
Mr. Rardin indicated that Mn/DOT had issues with a two-way frontage road and did not sign off
on the frontage road. He stated the earlier studies indicated that a frontage road will exacerbate
traffic flow at the intersection with Minnetonka Boulevard.
Councilmember Sanger agreed with Councilmember Mavity’s concerns regarding a north-south
connection. She asked whether this design leaves enough room for a north-south bike trail on
the east side of Highway 100 going north from Minnetonka Boulevard. She also asked about the
City’s cost share with Mn/DOT on the project and asked if Mn/DOT has made a final
determination about the taking of properties and whether that decision has been communicated.
Mr. Rardin stated the City’s share of project costs is fairly minimal and would not include the
rebuilding of Utica Avenue. He noted the utility costs for Utica Avenue have been built into the
CIP and is approximately $2 million. He stated the City will also participate in the cost of the
intersection at Lake and Vernon and Minnetonka Boulevard and is estimated at $200,000. He
advised it was his understanding that Mn/DOT is able to live within their right-of-way on Toledo
Avenue and the only property impacted is the Holiday site.
Mayor Jacobs stated he would like to have something definitive from Mn/DOT regarding the
Toledo Avenue properties.
Mr. Rardin stated that Mn/DOT will continue gathering input and will then bring the final layout,
including right-of-way acquisition, to the City for municipal consent later this summer.

2. Beltline Boulevard Trail Improvement Options
Mr. Rardin presented the staff report and asked what is the problem? There are several possible
options for infrastructure improvements depending upon what Council feels is wrong and what
outcomes they would like to see.
Councilmember Mavity stated there is a complete lack of clarity for drivers and trail users in this
area; in addition, trail user safety as currently laid out is compromised and the current crossing is
not sufficiently safe.
Councilmember Sanger agreed that safety is severely compromised in this area and stated that
the expectations currently placed on drivers and trail users are different than the expectations
placed on them in other communities. She added the City is not in harmony with other
communities and has contributed to the confusion. She stated the current problem needs a
temporary solution because the only viable long-term solution is a grade separated crossing.
Councilmember Santa stated that drivers and trail users in this area do not know what to do and
traffic flow on Beltline is compromised. She indicated she has seen people driving along
Beltline and because there is no marked crosswalk, they believe they have the right-of-way until
bikes come through the intersection.
Councilmember Spano stated the City is likely not the first community to have confronted this
issue and pointed out a recognized authority looked at the intersection and has presented two
options to Council for improving safety in the area. He felt the real challenge for the City is to
get everyone on the same page as it relates to trail crossings.
Councilmember Ross stated that the consultants felt that painted crosswalks were not an option
and provided Council with their suggestions for improving the intersection.
Councilmember Mavity indicated the consultants said painted crosswalks were not an option
without other additional improvements such as a traffic signal.
Councilmember Sanger stated one of things that appalled her about the expert’s suggested
solution was that there was nothing that addressed educating drivers about their obligations.
Mr. Rardin stated if the City wants to give trail users the right-of-way this will have to be a
marked crosswalk and signalized intersection, which will impact traffic flow on Beltline. He
noted that the activation of a signal would also have to be tied into the railroad crossing.
Councilmember Mavity stated that narrowing the roadway to two lanes might work as indicated
in Option 4.
Mayor Jacobs stated that Option 4 would impact traffic flow and did not agree that this option
would work.
Councilmember Hallfin suggested adding signage for drivers to make it clear that trail users have
to stop and street traffic has the right-of-way.
City Council Meeting of May 21, 2012 (Item No. 3a) Page 4
Subject: Special Study Session Minutes of May 7, 2012
Councilmember Ross felt that Option 3 was the cheapest alternative and appeared to make the
most sense in the short term. She added that Council will revisit this issue once light rail comes
through.
Councilmember Sanger stated she did not agree with Option 3 and was vehemently against this
option. She stated it was important to remember that a trail user has nothing to protect them in a
crash and the City needs to provide a way for trail users to operate safely and in the same manner
as in other communities. She felt that Option 3 would waste $150,000 and would do nothing to
make this a safer crossing.
Councilmember Hallfin stated residents have told him that the issue is that the crossing is
confusing and nobody knows what to do. He felt that adding signs on the trail telling trail users
what they are supposed to do would help and stated he was in favor of Option 3 with the addition
of some signage that gives clear direction to drivers.
Councilmember Mavity stated that Option 3 simply provides four more feet in the median but
the nature of the crossing does not change. She felt if the City was going to spend $150,000, a
signalized crossing with a crosswalk should be installed because this will tell everyone exactly
what they are supposed to do and would provide absolute clarity for drivers and trail users.
Councilmember Spano agreed that Option 3 does not change what is happening inside the street
but it does provide a wider median and by changing the trail user’s approach to traffic, it
hopefully makes them more aware of traffic in the area.
Mayor Jacobs and Councilmembers Hallfin, Ross, Santa, and Spano were in favor of Option 3.
Councilmember Mavity requested that the minutes state that Council indicated at the beginning
of this discussion that complexity or confusion was the main problem with the Beltline crossing.
She noted that Option 3 is the only solution that does not appear to address the complexity issue.
Councilmember Sanger suggested that the City install a sign before spending $150,000 to see if
it makes any difference in driver behavior and whether people stop with any consistency.
Councilmember Spano stated that Option 3 does not preclude the City from moving to Option 2
and installing a signalized interchange in the future.
It was the majority consensus of the City Council to proceed with Option 3 - street users have
priority (right-of-way) over trail users (4-lane street) and to install additional signage as
appropriate.
Mr. Harmening noted that staff will need to consult with the City Attorney regarding signage.
The meeting adjourned at 7:13 p.m.

TITLE:
Bid Tabulation: Street Maintenance Project (Sealcoat Streets - Area 4) – Project No. 2012-0001
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to designate Allied Blacktop Company the lowest responsible bidder and authorize
execution of a contract with the firm in the amount of $277,879.43 for Street Maintenance
Project (Sealcoat Streets - Area 4 – Project No. 2012-0001).
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
Does the City Council wish to continue the practice of sealcoating as part of the Pavement
Management Program for maintaining the City’s streets?
BACKGROUND:
History
Sealcoating is the surface application of an asphalt material followed by the placement of
aggregate (rock) which is embedded into the asphalt material while it is liquid. The purpose of
this treatment is to add surface friction to the pavement, facilitating vehicle traction, and to seal
the surface from oxidation and the effects of moisture. Sealcoating can extend the life of a
pavement, in good condition, by 5-9 years. The City’s Pavement Management Program provides
for the sealcoating of each street once every eight (8) years.
Area 4 of the Pavement Management Program is scheduled for sealcoating in 2012. These
streets were last sealcoated in 2004. Area 4 comprises the streets in the Bronx Park, Birchwood
and Sorensen neighborhoods. A map of the streets to be sealcoated is attached.
Not all streets in Area 4 will be sealcoated. Based on the City’s computerized pavement
management software and visual inspections by City staff, several streets in the area were
determined to be in need of more aggressive maintenance than has been done in the past.
Sealcoating these streets at this time would be an inappropriate use of resources. Thus, they have
been eliminated from this sealcoat project with the understanding that they are scheduled for
higher levels of maintenance or rehabilitation in 2016, as part of the overall Pavement
Management Program.

POLICY CONSIDERATION:
Does the City Council wish to continue the City’s practice of replacing sidewalk, curb and gutter
and catch basins in need of repair?
BACKGROUND:
Bid Information:
Bids were received on May 8, 2012 for the annual repair and construction of sidewalk, curb and
gutter, and storm sewer catch basins at various locations in the city. Staff annually surveys the
condition of sidewalks to identify hazards for repair. Panels of sidewalk that are cracked or have

in this contract. Curb and gutter with similar defects that create drainage or safety problems are
also repaired. Deteriorating catch basins that are within the work area will also be repaired or
rebuilt. Most of this work will be concentrated in next year’s sealcoating area (Area 5, which
includes the Aquila, Cobblecrest, Minnehaha and South Oak Hill neighborhoods). In addition,
this year unexpected necessary minor concrete pavement repairs on Louisiana Ave south of
Minnetonka Blvd have also been included in this contract.

The Towers at West End Final Plat and Final Planned Unit Development Time Extensions
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
Motion to approve an extension until May 31, 2013 for Duke Realty to file the final plat and
final planned unit development (PUD) applications for The Towers at West End.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
Should the City allow Duke Realty additional time to file applications for final plat and final
PUD approval for The Towers at West End?
BACKGROUND:
Under the zoning code, Duke Realty is required to submit an application for final plat and final
PUD within 90 days of City Council preliminary plat and preliminary PUD approvals. The 90-
day deadline originally was set to expire on May 31, 2009. On April 20, 2009, May 3, 2010, and
May 16, 2011, the City Council approved one year extensions to the deadline. The City has
received a written request from Duke Realty for another extension.
As indicated in the attached letter from Duke Realty, market conditions have made it difficult to
proceed with an office project at this time. Staff concurs with this determination recommends
approval of the extension.

Hennepin County Residential Recycling Grant Agreement
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to Adopt Resolution authorizing the Hennepin County Grant Agreement to fund the City’s
residential curbside recycling program.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
Does the Council wish to receive assistance from the County to help pay for our recycling program?
BACKGROUND:
History
Annually in February the city submits a grant report and application for SCORE funding. SCORE
(Select Committee On Recycling and the Environment) was established by Governor Perpich to
provide a funding source for solid waste programs throughout Minnesota. SCORE funds are derived
from a 6.5% tax on garbage collection and disposal fees. These funds are distributed to Counties for
solid waste programs, particularly recycling collection. Since 1988 the City has received annual
grants from Hennepin County as an aid in supporting the residential curbside recycling program that
serves all single family through four-plex residential structures. The County’s share of SCORE
funds is divided between cities on a proportional basis by the number of households.
The County’s current funding policy (grant program) covers the period from January 1, 2012
through December 31, 2015, and provides for the proportional distribution of SCORE funds, which
the County receives from the State of Minnesota.
This report and request is based on a Hennepin County requirement to provide a Council Resolution
authorizing each agreement. This particular resolution covers the Municipal Recycling Grant
Agreement terminating December 31, 2015. The Agreement also lists the initial grant payment, for
the year 2012 at $101,630. The terms of this agreement are the same as in the past agreements.
Summary
Attached to this report is a resolution authorizing execution of the Residential Recycling Grant
Agreement with Hennepin County to aid in funding the City’s curbside recycling program.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION:
The funding from this grant program is used to help pay for the City’s recycling program.
VISION CONSIDERATION:
The activities above support or complement the following Vision area/Strategic Direction:
St. Louis Park is committed to being a leader in environmental stewardship. We will increase
environmental consciousness and responsibility in all areas of city business. Community members

TITLE:
Authorization to Distribute EAW - Minnehaha Creek Remeander
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to authorize distribution of the mandatory EAW starting the 30-day EAW public
comment period.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
Does the City Council wish to release the EAW for public distribution and comment?
BACKGROUND:
The City has been partnering with the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD) to
complete the steps needed to allow the MCWD to move forward with the reconstruction of the
Minnehaha Creek channel between Louisiana Avenue South and Meadowbrook Road. The channel
reconstruction, also called a “remeander,” will result in ecological improvements to the creek’s
natural function, stormwater improvements that will benefit water quality and reduce potential
flooding, vegetative improvements to reduce invasive species and improve habitat for native
plants and animals, and trail improvements that will increase the creek’s accessibility by the public.
The collaborative process between the City and MCWD started in 2009. A brief chronology of
the work completed to date includes:
• December 2010: The City, with assistance from MCWD, is awarded a $300,000 grant
from the state Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) to help fund the remeander.
The funds are available as part of the Clean Water Legacy Amendment passed in 2008.
• February 2011: The City Council authorizes a grant agreement between the City and
BWSR to allow for the funds to be used by MCWD to pay for engineering and
construction.
• February 2011: The MCWD hired Interfluve and HR Green to prepare design the
meander and prepare the EAW.
• May 2011: The City Council reviews a Study Session report with an update on the
project status.
• July 2011: The City Council reviews the project at a Study Session, with information
provided by City Staff and MCWD Staff.
• August 2011: The City and MCWD hold a public open house for community review of
the project at the Municipal Service Center. Approximately 15 business owners and
residents attend the meeting.
• November 2011: The MCWD Board holds a public hearing on the remeander project at
their offices in Deephaven, and orders that the project move forward.
Following the MCWD Board action in November, the project consultants began work on the
mandatory EAW regarding the remeander project. An excerpt of the EAW is attached to the report.
City Council Meeting of May 21, 2012 (Item No. 4e) Page 2
Subject: Authorization to Distribute EAW - Minnehaha Creek Remeander
Under the MN Environmental rules modifying a creek channel requires a ‘mandatory’ EAW,
meaning an EAW must be completed to allow the Minnehaha project to move forward.
Although the project’s intent is to restore the creek channel to a more natural location, state
statutes require environmental review any time a major change to a creek channel is proposed.
The purpose of the EAW is to provide the factual basis for determining whether an Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS) is necessary.
Preparation and review of the EAW is the responsibility of the designated Responsible
Governmental Unit (RGU). Because the project occurs fully within St. Louis Park boundaries,
the City will serve as the RGU for the EAW project. As the RGU, the City must approve the
EAW for public distribution, oversee the commenting process, and collaborate with the MCWD
to ensure that all comments are adequately addressed. The bulk of the work will be completed
by the MCWD and its consultants.
When the comment period is completed, 30 days after distribution, the City must determine
whether an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is necessary, prepare findings of fact, and
approve a resolution making a finding of fact supporting the final determination as to whether an
EIS is necessary.
The first step is to approve the EAW for distribution. The EAW was prepared by the MCWD’s
consultant, and has been carefully reviewed by City Staff from various departments.
Future Actions:
Following the conclusion of the EAW process, the remaining steps to complete the project are:
• Approval of a Conditional Use Permit for Excavation and Fill in excess of 400 cubic
yards of material.
• Authorizing the final design of the remeander project.
At the present time, the project schedule calls for construction to begin in late October or early
November of 2012. To meet this schedule, the Conditional Use Permit and final design
approvals are expected to come before the City Council in late June or early July.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION:
A grant of $300,000 was awarded by the Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) for this
project from the Clean Water Legacy Amendment passed in 2008; the MCWD is providing the
balance of the funds. Currently no city funds are proposed for the project.
VISION CONSIDERATION:
The proposed re-meander, its associated environmental attributes, and the potential for trail
construction along the creek meet various Vision goals. The project would enhance the City’s
environmental stewardship of Minnehaha Creek, and, by bringing residents closer to the creek,
increase environmental consciousness within the community. The project would also help
develop the city’s network of trails.

6. Description:
a. Provide a project summary of 50 words or less to be published in the EQB Monitor.
The Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD) is proposing a restoration of 3,557 linear feet of
straightened channel of Minnehaha Creek by restoring former channel sinuosity, improving stormwater
filtration, updating canoe access, developing recreational trails and maximizing restored stream, wetland
and riparian habitats along the creek within St. Louis Park (See Figures 1 & 2).
b. Give a complete description of the proposed project and related new construction. Attach additional
sheets as necessary. Emphasize construction, operation methods and features that will cause physical
manipulation of the environment or will produce wastes. Include modifications to existing equipment or
industrial processes and significant demolition, removal or remodeling of existing structures. Indicate
the timing and duration of construction activities.
This project involves adding natural sinuosity, re-shaping the cross-sectional geometry, and adding
large wood to the channel (See Figure 7), thereby restoring some of the normal geomorphic functions of
the stream. Currently, the channel is wide and featureless, with aggradation of fine sediment degrading
potential fish and wildlife habitat. Restoring sinuosity will add habitat area and encourage natural
channel scour and depositional areas at bends, which will increase the complexity of the stream channel
and provide more niches for aquatic habitat.
The new channel will be roughly excavated. Soil excavated from the new channel will be stockpiled
onsite and used to partially fill in the old channel and construct banks. Channel banks will be
constructed on the outside of meanders using fabric encapsulation and soil bioengineering techniques.
This is accomplished by confining soil with a combined layer of both woven and non-woven
biodegradable coir fiber blankets. Large woody debris will be secured and incorporated into banks to
provide unobtrusive fish and macroinvertebrate cover, to help define banks and also allow the natural
maintenance of pool habitat. Protection against buoyant and tractive forces will be provided by soil
ballast and possibly by anchored buried logs. The inside of meander bends will be stabilized by simple
grading and shaping of banks and trenching in of biodegradable erosion control fabrics. Between
meander bends, Small gravel will be incorporated into riffles to provide suitable substrate for fish
spawning. Previously completed sediment transport analysis will ensure proper sizing of riffle material.
Although during winter and dry summer, the channel has historically gone dry due to closing of the
Grey’s Bay dam outlet structure, it is likely that some dewatering or diversion of the creek flow will be
needed. This can be accomplished through coffer dam construction and pumping, or through the
construction of diversion channels or water diverting barriers. Groundwater in the project area, if a

significant issue during winter construction, will be pumped out of the constructed channel into
temporary infiltration basins established onsite in accordance with guidelines set forth in the Minnesota
DNR’s water appropriation permit conditions for stream construction dewatering.
Soils in the project area are soft and will require special construction techniques for wetland stream
channels. The channel will be constructed by building a temporary haul road over the proposed channel
alignment. This temporary road will be composed of wood or plastic mats, or could be lined with
geotextile fabric and a layer of gravel or wood chips. Construction equipment will travel up and down
the temporary road, thus minimizing impacts to the surrounding wetland surface. Channel construction
will begin at either end of the haul road which will be removed as construction proceeds. This basic plan
may have some variation in methodology depending on the contractor used.
The project will be constructed in short segments between 500 and 1,000 feet in length. The lower end of
the new constructed channel segments will be connected to the existing ditch when the new constructed
channel segments are established with all erosion control measures in place. Once this temporary
connection is made, the Minnehaha Creek flow will be diverted on the upstream end into the new channel.
The old channel segments will be partially filled with onsite soils, creating depressional wetlands.
Old channels are susceptible to being recaptured by the stream during flood flows in channel restoration
projects such as this one. Thus, partial filling is required to raise the old channel bed. The need for partial
filling of the old channel will allow for a balance of cut and fill material during construction and eliminates
the need for off-site disposal of excavated soils. This fill area will also provide a base for roughness
elements such as large woody debris to help prevent channel avulsion (stream recapture) during flood
events and will also provide reptile and amphibian habitat. The channel ends will be secured and
stabilized with the same bioengineering techniques used in the channel construction. Flow will be diverted
from active construction areas using sediment booms and other pre-approved methods for in-stream
construction if there is significant flow during the winter construction period.
An important aspect of the design of Reach 20 is integration of stormwater best management practices
(BMPs), the location of which is determined in this case by the existing outfalls at Excelsior Boulevard,
Powell Road, and Meadowbrook Lane (See Figure 7). Each of the listed BMPs will control stormwater
drainage from significant acreages; 74.1 acres, 236.3 acres, and 5.1 acres, respectively. The National
Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) TR-20/TR-55 methodology was adopted when determining
hydrologic properties for each of the three BMP subwatersheds and examination of the existing
topography, land uses, storm sewer network and soil types was used to identify drainage patterns within
each subwatershed. Hydrologic properties of each subwatershed were then incorporated into a water
quality and hydrology and hydraulic (H&H) model to both correctly size BMPs and assess their future
performance.
Following stream and BMP construction, a boardwalk will be constructed to allow public access into or
adjacent to the wetland area (See Figure 7). This boardwalk will be a compacted gravel trail in upland
areas or either a standard piling mounted boardwalk or floating boardwalk in wetland areas. The final
configuration will depend upon final hydrologic modeling results. The boardwalk will be constructed to
allow handicapped access for both the general public and Methodist Hospital users; this trail will
ultimately connect to the SW LRT trail between the Louisiana Ave. and Blake Rd. Stations.
The reach currently has two canoe launch locations, and both are maintained in this restoration design. The
Creekside Park canoe launch will be rebuilt into a tiered step design that will allow for easy parallel
launching over a range of water levels and will give a variety of boaters an easier launching experience.
No changes will be made to the parking area, but a spur off of the main trail will provide a 100 ft portage
to the launch. The canoe launch on the downstream end of the project reach, near Louisiana Avenue, will
either not be impacted or will be rebuilt if disturbed.

Recreational Boating Opportunities
Threading through the heart of the west
metro area, Minnehaha Creek offers a
unique experience for recreational boaters.
Making the creek more accessible to
canoeing and kayaking is a long-term
maintenance goal of the Minnehaha Creek
Watershed District and surrounding
communities.
The plan for Reach 20 includes
replacement of an existing canoe launch
with one specifically designed for easy
access. The stepped design shown here
allows for low water boat entry over a
range of water levels, and will be more
convenient for people with limited mobility
or small children. A trail will extend from
the existing canoe launch parking lot,
through the floodplain wetland and down to
the streambank launch.
This plan preserves the existing canoe
launch locations in Reach 20, with some
slight modifications. The Creekside Park
trail connection will connect the parking lot
with the stream, and may run along the main
trail for a short distance. We anticipate a
portage of no more than 150 feet.

PLANTINGSFLOW - Logs and fallen wood
make up an important part of the woodland stream
ecosystem. Wood offers hiding cover for fish,
nesting opportunities for waterfowl, perches for
wading birds, and resting or hiding places for
amphibians and reptiles. The Reach 20 design
features low profile wood installation underneath
banks on the outside of meander bends. In addition
to providing valuable habitat, wood provides long
term (10-20 years) stability of the bank, protecting
the stream from immediate erosion. The wood will
be placed low to the streambed, so that during
boatable flows, canoes and kayaks will float over
the top of the installed wood. Similar installations
can be found just downstream of Louisiana Avenue in
the restored section of the Methodist Hospital
wetland.
- Reach 20 is currently an important
spawning reach for fish using Lake Minnetonka and
Minnehaha Creek. These fish include sunfish, bass,
suckers and various minnow species. Included in the
design are riffles that provide spawning gravel of
the size used regularly by these fish.
- Streams that transport fine
sediment and sand downstream often deposit this
material on banks during floods. These deposits
take the form of natural levees that might be a
foot or two higher than the adjacent floodplain
surface. Our design for Reach 20 repeats the work
done in Reach 19 of the Methodist Hospital area
project, where we included levee features to
provide topographic variability. Levees offer slightly
dryer wetland surfaces that promote the
establishment of planted cottonwood, silver maple
and black willow trees common to the riparian
corridor.

TITLE:
Acceptance of Donation to Fire Department
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to Accept Donation from Residential Mortgage Group in the amount of $100. The Fire
Department would like to use the donation for restoration of the 1928 American LaFrance fire
truck.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
Does the City Council wish to accept the donation?
BACKGROUND:
State statute requires the City Council’s acceptance of donations. This requirement is necessary
in order to make sure the City Council has knowledge of any restrictions placed on the use of
each donation prior to it being expended.
Residential Mortgage Group is graciously donating to the Fire Department an amount of $100 as
part of their “Refer a friend. Build your community”™ program. Every loan that Residential
Mortgage Group closes results in $100 being donated to one of several options locally that is
chosen by the mortgagee. The St. Louis Park Fire Department regularly receives these
donations.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION:
These donations will assist the City in restoring the antique fire engine that is currently unusable
without mechanical improvements.

TITLE:
Project Report: Railroad Crossing Signal Replacement – Brookside Ave. Proj. No. 2013-1301
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to approve project and Adopt Resolution authorizing entering into a cooperative
agreement with the Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) and Soo Line Railroad
Company (Canadian Pacific Railway) for Project No. 2013-1301 (Brookside Avenue).
POICY CONSIDERATION:
Does Council desire to move forward with this project as identified in the City’s Capital
Improvement Program (C.I.P.)?
BACKGROUND:
History
Several years ago, the City conducted a review with Mn/DOT railroad staff to identify crossings
requiring equipment replacement and/or upgrade needs. The crossing at Brookside Avenue was
identified as having such needs and was also determined to be a candidate for federal safety
funding. As a result, Federal Highway Administration safety funds have been made available,
administered through Mn/DOT. The improvement would replace old antiquated signal
equipment with new railroad signals and gates. This project was previously identified in the
Capital Improvement Program (C.I.P.) and is consistent with other infrastructure replacement
and public safety needs.
Mn/DOT has provided the agreement for the City’s consideration. The improvements would be
funded 90% using federal safety funds with a 10% match by the City, with the railroad being
responsible for future signal maintenance costs. Construction of the improvements would be
performed by the railroad and administered by Mn/DOT. This project has been in the C.I.P. for
several years and the federal funds need to be encumbered or they will be forfeited. The
agreement is a standard Mn/DOT signal agreement that will reimburse the railroad for actual
costs incurred. Actual construction is expected to occur in the fall of 2013 or spring of 2014.
Considerations
Based on earlier discussions regarding the uncertainty of freight rail relocation and whistle quiet
zones, staff does not feel this crossing improvement project (simple replacement) would preclude
any future crossing change or adjustment. The new signal system can be adjusted or relocated in
the future should this need arise. This project should either enhance or have a neutral effect on
our ability to implement a Whistle Quiet Zone in the future. Since this project is a safety related
priority and availability of the federal funds is limited, staff recommends this project be pursued.
And, Mn/DOT recently notified us they are planning on replacing the Yosemite Avenue crossing
just to the south of Brookside Avenue this summer. This replacement is being funded entirely
City Council Meeting of May 21, 2012 (Item No. 4g) Page 2
Subject: Project Report: Railroad Crossing Signal Replacement – Brookside Ave. Proj. # 2013-1301
with special State Bond funds as part of an “antiquated equipment” replacement program; the
City is not required to contribute to the Yosemite replacement.
Summary and Recommendations
Staff believes it would be beneficial for the City of St. Louis Park to replace this signal before
the old one fails.
To move this replacement forward, the Council must approve the project and enter into
cooperative agreement with Mn/DOT and the Soo Line Railroad Company (CP Rail). A
resolution for this crossing project has been provided. The City Attorney has reviewed the
Agreement and does not have any issues.
