7a. Internal Loan for Westwood Villa Association Housing Improvement Area
(HIA) EDA Resolution No. 12-10
Ms. Larsen presented the staff report and explained that the City Council previously
approved financing the improvements within the Westwood Villa HIA with a
combination of bonds and internal funding. She stated that since the May 7, 2012, City
EDA Meeting of August 20, 2012 (Item No. 3a) Page 2
Subject: EDA Meeting Minutes of July 16, 2012
Council meeting, the 45-day veto period expired on June 21, 2012, and although
objections were received, it was not enough to meet the threshold to stop the HIA. She
indicated total construction costs decreased approximately $575,000 from the original
estimate and the average fee per homeowner was reduced from $33,000 to $24,000. She
noted that lower than expected bids were received on the HVAC and elevator repair; in
addition, experts have confirmed that removal of the pipe riser replacement is not a
critical component, which saved $200,000. She stated the revised contingency costs have
been reduced from 30% to 17% saving another $200,000. She noted the actual cost of
the project will be under $1.6 million with approximately half the amount financed
through the issuance of G.O. HIA bonds and the rest financed with a loan from the EDA
Development Fund. She stated both the bonds and the EDA loan will be repaid with the
real estate taxes of property owners located in the HIA. She added the bonds and EDA
loan will have a twenty-year term with an interest rate set at 100 basis points higher than
the interest rate on the bonds with a final payment schedule prepared upon issuance of the
bonds in September.
It was moved by Commissioner Ross, seconded by Commissioner Sanger, to approve
EDA Resolution No. 12-10 Authorizing an Internal Loan for Advance of Funds in
Connection with Housing Improvements within the Westwood Villa Owners Association
Housing Improvement Area.
The motion passed 7-0.

TITLE:
Amendment to Internal Loan Fund Resolution No. 12-10 for Westwood Villa Association
Housing Improvement Area (HIA)
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to Adopt Amendment to EDA Resolution No. 12-10, authorizing an internal loan from
the EDA to the City to be used for housing improvements within the established Westwood Villa
Association HIA (“Westwood Villa HIA”), which was established on May 7, 2012.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
On July 16, 2012 the EDA authorized an internal loan of up to $1,100,000 for the $2,185,000
Westwood Villa HIA project. The $1,100,000 was to be funded with Development Funds and the
remainder of the funds needed for the project were to come from the sale of bonds. Since the
July 16th meeting the total loan amount needed for this HIA has decreased to under $1,300,000 –
an amount that can be funded solely with Development Funds. Funds from a bond sale will no
longer be needed for the Westwood Villa project. EDA approval of the increase of the internal
Development Fund loan from $1,100,000 to up to $1,300,000 is needed for the project to
proceed.
BACKGROUND:
Key dates and actions for the Westwood Villa HIA project:
• May 7, 2012 the Council adopted Ordinance 2413-12 establishing the Westwood Villa
HIA and passed Resolution No. 12-066 imposing fees.
• July 1, 2012 the City entered into a Development Agreement with Westwood Villa
Association in which the City agreed to make a loan of funds available to the Association
to finance Housing Improvements.
• July 16, 2012 the EDA approved Internal Loan Fund Resolution No.12-10 based on
estimated project costs of $2,185,000. The project was to be funded with a combination
of up to $1,100,000 from the EDA’s Development Fund and the remainder including
capitalized interest from issuance of bonds.
• August 20, 2012 the Council will consider an Amended and Restated Development
Agreement with Westwood Villa Association to reflect lower project costs funded with
internal Development Funds.
The estimated total project cost of $2,185,000 has been reduced and the final loan amount will
not exceed $130,000.
• Lower Project Costs. The final construction costs based on actual bids was $575,000
lower than estimated. The lower construction costs trickles down to decreased
administrative fees and financing costs as well.
EDA Meeting of August 20, 2012 (Item No. 7a) Page 2
Subject: Amendment to Internal Loan Fund Resolution No. 12-10 for Westwood Villa Association HIA
• Prepayment of fees by owners. Owners had the option to prepay their fee by July 20,
2012, and a significantly higher than estimated number of owners did prepay. While six
owners had indicated they would prepay, fourteen actually did, for a prepayment total of
$332,395.
Due to the lower loan amount of $1,216,228, staff and Ehlers & Associates recommend the
project be funded solely with Development Funds. The benefits are that residents would realize a
further savings by not having to pay the costs of bond issuance as well as simpler administrative
tracking by City Finance staff.
Amendment to Internal Loan Fund Resolution:
To fund the Westwood Villa loan solely from the EDA’s Development Fun, an amendment to
the July 16, 2012 Internal Loan Fund Resolution No. 12-10 is needed.
The sections of the resolution to be amended relate to financing the project using Development
Funds of up to $1,300,000 and not issuing bonds. All other conditions remain the same: the
EDA loan will be repaid to the City from the HIA fees collected with the real estate taxes of the
property owners located in the Westwood Villa HIA; the EDA loan will have a twenty year term;
the interest rate will be consistent with the interest rate for the Greensboro HIA project; and only
the amount of funds needed to pay for project costs will be advanced.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION:
The proposed method of financing the Westwood Villa HIA improvements results in the City
lending the Westwood Villa Association an amount not to exceed $1,300,000, which will come
from the Development Fund. The City’s Controller is involved in structuring the loan and
ensuring that assessment procedures are followed. The loan and resolution documents have been
prepared by EDA legal counsel. The Amended and Restated Development Agreement with the
Association ensures that the loan is secured by Association Assets, defined as dues, fees,
assessments and other income owing to the Association from unit owners. Owners that did not
prepay the fee, will begin fee payment with their property taxes beginning in 2013 and have the
option to pay-off the fee in future years.
VISION CONSIDERATION:
The Westwood Villa Association HIA improvements are consistent with Vision St. Louis Park
and the Strategic Directions adopted by the City Council: “St. Louis Park is committed to
providing a well-maintained and diverse housing stock”. The HIA tool addresses affordably
valued, aging owner-occupied townhouse and condominium housing stock. The proposed
improvements specifically address the focus of property maintenance to foster quality housing
and community aesthetics.

EDA RESOLUTION NO. 12-____
AUTHORIZING AMENDED TERMS OF INTERNAL LOAN FOR ADVANCE OF FUNDS
IN CONNECTION WITH HOUSING IMPROVEMENTS
WITHIN THE WESTWOOD VILLA OWNERS ASSOCIATION
HOUSING IMPROVEMENT AREA
BE IT RESOLVED by the St. Louis Park Economic Development Authority (the
“EDA”) as follows:
Section 1. Recitals.
1.01. The City of St. Louis Park ("City") is authorized under Minnesota Statutes,
Sections 428A.11 to 428.21 (the "Housing Improvement Act") to establish by ordinance a
housing improvement area within which housing improvements are made or constructed and the
costs of the improvements are paid in whole or in part from fees imposed within the area. The
City Council of the City (“Council”) adopted a Housing Improvement Area policy on July 16,
2001.
1.02. In order to facilitate Housing Improvements to property known as the "Westwood
Villa Owners Association" the Council on May 7, 2012, established the Westwood Villa
Association Housing Improvement Area by Ordinance No. 2413-12 (the "Enabling Ordinance")
and approved a Housing Improvement Fee (the “Fee”) by Resolution 12-066.
1.03. The City has entered into a Development Agreement between the City and the
Westwood Villa Association (the “Association”) dated as of July 1, 2012, as amended by an
Amended and Restated Development Agreement dated as of the date hereof (the “Amended
Agreement”) under which the City will make a loan of funds legally available for such purpose
(the “Loan”) to the Association to finance the Housing Improvements as described in the
Agreement.
1.04. The Amended Agreement contains provisions amending the terms of the Loan to
the Association, and the City has requested that the EDA modify its Resolution Authorizing
Terms of Internal Loan for Advance of Funds in Connection with Housing Improvements within
the Westwood Villa Owners Association Housing Improvement Area, adopted on July 16, 2012
(the “Loan Resolution”), to provide for terms of the Loan consistent with the terms of the
Amended Agreement.
1.05. The EDA has determined to specify the amended terms of the Loan in more detail
in this resolution.
Section 2. Modified Loan Terms.
2.01. The Loan will be disbursed from the EDA Development Fund to the Association
to reimburse approved costs of the Housing Improvements as incurred, in the maximum amount
of $1,300,000 or so much thereof as is actually disbursed (the “Loan Amount”).
EDA Meeting of August 20, 2012 (Item No. 7a) Page 4
Subject: Amendment to Internal Loan Fund Resolution No. 12-10 for Westwood Villa Association HIA
2.02. The Loan Amount, together with interest accruing from January 1, 2013, shall be
repaid over a 20-year term in semi-annual installments of principal and interest ("Payments") on
each February 1 and August 1, commencing February 1, 2013. Interest shall accrue on the
unpaid principal at a rate that is 100 basis points higher than the true interest cost of the City’s
Taxable General Obligation Housing Improvement Area Bonds, Series 2012A (to be issued by
the City in September 2012 to finance a portion of certain housing improvements within a
separate housing improvement area within the City) (the “Bonds”). Upon issuance of the Bonds,
the City Clerk shall cause to be prepared a finalized schedule of Payments, which schedule shall
be attached to this Resolution as Exhibit A.
2.03. Except as modified by this Resolution, the Loan Resolution shall remain in full
force and effect.

Amended Agreement.

TITLE:
First Amendment to the Purchase and Redevelopment Contract and Modification of the
Assessment Agreement between the EDA and Ellipse II LLC (Bader Development)
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to Adopt EDA Resolution approving the First Amendment to the Purchase and
Redevelopment Contract and modification of the Assessment Agreement between the EDA and
Ellipse II LLC.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
Does the EDA support the proposed First Amendment to the Purchase and Redevelopment
Contract and the modification of the Assessment Agreement between the EDA and Ellipse II
LLC to facilitate the construction of the e2 project?
SUMMARY:
The purpose of this amendment is to update the legal description included in the Purchase and
Redevelopment Contract and Assessment Agreement related to the e2 project site so as to reflect
the transference of a narrow strip of land from the Ellipse on Excelsior property (3900 Excelsior
Blvd) to the e2 property (3924 Excelsior Blvd) next door. The 11 foot wide by 190 foot long
strip of land from the Ellipse property is being added to the e2 property so as to provide
sufficient land area to accommodate the 58 residential units that the Redeveloper has committed
to construct on the site. This revision to the legal description is consistent with approvals the
City Council and EDA previously provided to the e2 PUD, plat and contracts. It is essentially a
housekeeping item.
PREVIOUS ACTIONS:
The City Council approved the final plat for Ellipse on Excelsior 2nd Addition, the e2 Final PUD,
and the Major Amendment to Ellipse on Excelsior Final PUD on January 17, 2012. The City
Council also subsequently approved a Major Amendment to the e2 Final PUD on April 16, 2012.
On February 6, 2012 the EDA approved the Purchase and Redevelopment Contract between the
EDA and Ellipse II LLC (Bader Development and “Redeveloper”). This contract provided for
the sale of the property located at 3924 Excelsior Boulevard (“Redevelopment Property”) from
the EDA to the Redeveloper and pledged Available Tax Increment to reimburse certain costs
incurred by the Redeveloper in connection with the development of the e2 project on the
Redevelopment Property. Included within the contract was an Assessment Agreement which
established a minimum market value for the Redevelopment Property upon project completion.
The Redevelopment Property is adjacent to the Ellipse on Excelsior property, also owned by the
Redeveloper, which is subject to a separate Contract for Private Redevelopment between the parties,
dated February 2, 2009. That “Prior Contract” also included an Assessment Agreement (the “Prior
Assessment Agreement”), which established a minimum market value for the Ellipse on Excelsior
property.
EDA Meeting of August 20, 2012 (Item No. 7b) Page 2
Subject: First Amendment to Purchase & Redevelopment Contract between the EDA & Ellipse II LLC
In order to meet the City’s density requirements for the Redevelopment Property, the Redeveloper
intends to allocate an 11 foot wide by 190 foot long strip of land from the Ellipse on Excelsior
property (described as the Southwesterly 11.00 feet of Lot 1, Block 1, Ellipse on Excelsior,
Hennepin County, Minnesota and “Allocated Property”) to the Redevelopment Property to enable
the construction of the previously approved e2 project. With the added land the density of the e2
development is 75 units per acre, which is the maximum allowed with a PUD in the RC High
Density Multiple Family Residential District. This land transfer technically increases the density
of Ellipse on Excelsior from 59.2 units per acre to 61 units per acre, which is well within the
maximum 75 units per acre allowed with a PUD in the MX Mixed Use Zoning District.
Given the above, the Redeveloper has requested, and the EDA has agreed, to release the Allocated
Property from the Ellipse Contract and Assessment Agreement and to subject the Allocated
Property to the terms and conditions of the e2 Purchase & Redevelopment Contract and Assessment
Agreement. The proposed First Amendment to the e2 Contract allows for the addition of the
Allocated Property to the legal description of the Redevelopment Property and to subject the
Allocated Property to the terms and conditions of the e2 Purchase & Redevelopment Contract as
well as the Minimum Assessment Agreement.
The Redeveloper envisions commencing the e2 project this month and completing it in a little
more than a year.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION:
The transference of the subject 11 foot strip of land from the Ellipse property to the e2 property
will have no financial impact to the City other than it will enable the proposed $13.6 million
redevelopment to proceed toward construction.
VISION CONSIDERATION:
This project supports the strategic direction of providing a well-maintained and diverse housing stock
and being a connected and engaged community.

TITLE: Playground Junior Leader Recognition
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Mayor Jacobs is asked to recognize the Junior Leaders for their service this summer. Recreation
Coordinator Lisa Abernathy will be in attendance to provide background and current information
on the summer program. Summer Playground Director Katie Lee will also be in attendance to
assist with the presentation.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
Not applicable.
BACKGROUND:
There were 21 youth volunteers that completed the program this summer and collectively they
have volunteered over 800 hours. Several of these volunteers have been involved for many years.
The Junior Leaders Program has been part of the Parks and Recreation Department for over 19
years. Junior Leaders for the St. Louis Park Parks and Recreation Department volunteer during
June and July in the Summer Playground Program. The goal of this program is to offer 7th
through 9th grade youth an opportunity to maintain their relationship with the summer
playground program, while gaining valuable on-the-job experience assisting full-time leaders
with other youth, ages 6 to 12. The program also gives them the opportunity to be a positive role
model to younger youth in their community.
Job responsibilities included assisting leaders with program activities, set-up and clean-up, and
initiating activities for playground participants. Junior Leaders assisted program participants in
understanding games and craft projects, keeping them interested and involved in activities as
well as aware of upcoming events. Junior Leaders also assisted in limited supervision of program
participants to ensure their safety at the park. Junior Leaders demonstrated responsibility,
positive attitudes and a willingness to spend part of their summer volunteering their time at a
neighborhood park. During their time in the parks this summer, they became role models for the
program participants they worked with, as well as excellent helpers for the full-time leaders.
This summer there were 11 playground sites with a total of 810 kids registered. Along with
playground staff, Junior Leaders play a key role in providing a positive experience for each
participant. Junior Leaders were required to work a minimum of 40 hours during the Summer
Playground Program.
The Junior Leaders are rewarded with this special recognition evening, a letter of
recommendation, and passes to The Rec Center’s ice arena.

TITLE:
Second Reading of Liquor Ordinance Amendment – Brewer Taproom Licensing
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to Approve Second Reading and Adopt Ordinance amendment to Chapter 3 of City Code
concerning Brewer Taproom on-sale malt liquor licensing, approve the summary ordinance for
publication, and to approve Resolution amending Resolution No. 11-126 adopting annual fees
for Liquor licenses for the license term through March 1, 2013.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
Does the Council wish to make changes to the City Code to allow brewer taproom licensing as
proposed by staff and city attorney?
BACKGROUND:
MN Statute allows cities to issue a brewer taproom license that allows the on-sale of malt liquor
produced by a brewer for consumption on the premises of the brewery location owned by the
brewer. Steel Toe Brewing, 4848 35th Street, receives several requests for tours, meets the
criteria, and would like to add a taproom for those people visiting its facility. To allow a
licensed brewer taproom in St. Louis Park, amendments to the city code would be required. All
Brewer Tap Room liquor licenses require additional approval by the Alcohol and Gambling
Enforcement Division prior to becoming effective.
The City Council discussed the taproom option at its May 21, 2012 and June 25, 2012 Study
Sessions and directed staff to prepare amendments to the Liquor License and Zoning Ordinances
to allow taprooms. The draft ordinance has been reviewed by the City Attorney, and determined
to be consistent with State Law and existing City Ordinances.
A public hearing was held on August 6, 2012 and council approved first reading of the ordinance
amendments. A summary of the liquor ordinance amendment is as follows:
Liquor License Amendment:
1. A taproom license will be issued only to brewers that produce less than 3,500 barrels of malt
liquor per year. State Statute allows taprooms at brewers that produce up to 250,000 barrels
annually, however State Statutes only allow growler sales at breweries that produce up to
3,500 barrels annually. Staff chose to be consistent with the treatment of growler sales and
taprooms and therefore set a 3,500 annual barrel production limit for both items. As a matter
of comparison, Steel Toe currently produces 500 barrels annually. The owner of Steel Toe
does not anticipate the 3,500 barrel limit becoming a hindrance in the future.
2. The only alcoholic beverages sold or consumed on the premises of a taproom are the malt
liquor produced by the brewer on the licensed premises. This is a requirement of State Law.
3. A brewer may have only one taproom license. This is a requirement of State Law.
City Council Meeting of August 20, 2012 (Item No. 4a) Page 2
Subject: Second Reading of Liquor Ordinance Amendment – Brewer Taproom Licensing
4. Hours of operation for on-sale of malt liquor at a brewer taproom shall be within the
following hours:
Monday - Thursday: 3 pm to 8 pm
Friday: 3 pm to 10 pm
Saturday: 11 am to 10 pm
Sunday: 11 am to 8 pm
Federally Recognized Holidays: 11 am to 10 pm
5. A restaurant is not allowed at a brewery with a taproom license. The brewer would,
however, be allowed to sell simple pre-packaged snacks (chips, peanuts, popcorn, etc.) for
consumption on-site. This requirement is added to provide a distinction between a liquor
license issued to restaurants and a brewery taproom. The intent of the taproom is to provide
customers an opportunity to sample and enjoy the malt beverage produced by the brewery. It
is not intended to provide a dining experience. If the City’s zoning regulations allows
restaurants in the location of the brewery, then the brewer can choose to abandon the taproom
license and apply for an intoxicating liquor license which is typically issued to restaurants,
and the brewer would need to comply with all requirements of that license, including
food/liquor sale ratios.
Recommendation
The proposed amendments to Sections 3-32 and 3-57 of the city ordinance code would allow this
type of activity and assure the city is in compliance with state statute.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION:
Staff is recommending a license fee of $800 for an On Sale Brewer’s Taproom License to cover
costs of providing administration and enforcement.
VISION CONSIDERATION:
St. Louis Park is committed to promoting and integrating arts, culture and community aesthetics
in all city initiatives.

TITLE:
Zoning Ordinance Amendment for Brewery Taprooms – Second Reading
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to Approve Second Reading and Adopt Ordinance pertaining to brewery taprooms,
and approve the summary ordinance for publication also contained in the agenda materials.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
Does the City Council wish to make changes to the City Code to allow brewer taprooms?
BACKGROUND:
MN Statutes were recently amended to allow municipalities to issue a taproom license to a state
licensed brewer. The City has been approached by Steel Toe Brewing, located at 4848 35th
Street in the Beltline Industrial Park, about allowing a Brewer Taproom at its facility. Before the
City can issue a taproom license, changes have to be made to the Zoning Ordinance to identify
which zoning districts a taproom is allowed, and the conditions in which it can operate.
The City Council approved the first reading of the proposed ordinance on August 6, 2012. A
summary of the ordinance follows:
Zoning Amendment:
1. Staff is proposing the following land use definitions:
Taproom means a facility where on-sale of malt liquor produced by the brewer for
consumption on the premises of, or adjacent to, the brewery location owned by the brewer at
which the malt liquor is produced.
Brewery means a facility that manufactures alcoholic and/or nonalcoholic malt liquor. This
definition does not include breweries operated in conjunction with a restaurant as an
accessory use.
2. Breweries are proposed to be allowed in the Business Park, Industrial Park and General
Industrial Zoning Districts as permitted uses with the following conditions:
Business Park and Industrial Park - the brewery shall not produce more than 3,500 barrels
per year.
General Industrial Park – no additional conditions. A brewery in this district can produce
any amount of beverage.
3. Taprooms are proposed to be located in the Business Park and Industrial Park Zoning
Districts with the following condition:
Up to 25% of the gross floor area of the Brewery in a Business Park District, and up to15%
in the Industrial Park Zoning District may be used for any combination of retail and a
taproom.

permits and may impose conditions and safeguards in the permit as a condition of its approval.

strict application of the provisions of this chapter and the requirements of all applicable state
law.
(1) Variances are not permitted for:
a. Any land use that is not allowed under the zoning ordinance for property in the zone
where the affected person’s land is located.
b. Floor elevations lower than the flood protection elevation in the floodplain district.
(2) The City may grant variances upon consideration of the following:
a.(2) The board of zoning appeals may grant a variance from the strict application of the

ordinance and,
cb. When the The request is variances are consistent with the comprehensive plan.
d.(3) The Variances may be granted when the applicant for the variance establishes that there
are practical difficulties in complying with the zoning ordinance. “Practical difficulties,”
as used in connection with the granting of a variance, means that:
1.a. The property owner proposes to use the property for a land use permitted in the
zoning district in which the land is located. A variance can be requested for
dimensional items required in the zoning ordinance, including but not limited to
setbacks and height limitations in a reasonable manner not permitted by the zoning
ordinance;
2b. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not
created by the landowner; and

City Council Meeting of August 20, 2012 (Item No. 4c)
Subject: Second Reading of Zoning Ordinance Amendment - Conditional Use Permits Page 10
4d. Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties. Practical
difficulties include inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems.
5. Practical difficulties include inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy
systems.
(4) The City board shall consider the following criteria when evaluating a variance request:
ea. There are cCircumstances unique to the property include the shape, topography, water
conditions, or other physical conditions unique to the property.
fb. The granting of the variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right of the applicant.
gc. The granting of the variance will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to the
adjacent property, unreasonably increase the congestion in the public streets, increase the
danger of fire, or endanger public safety.
hd. The granting of the variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant but is
necessary to alleviate a practical difficulty.
(35) The City board may impose conditions in the granting of variances. A condition must be
directly related to and must bear a rough proportionality to the impact created by the variance.
(46) Variances shall be granted for earth sheltered construction as defined in section 216C.06,
subdivision 14, when in harmony with the ordinance.
(57) Variances involving a floodway, flood fringe and floodplain. If the application for a variance
involves property within a floodway, flood fringe and floodplain district, then a copy of all
decisions granting variances shall be forwarded by mail to the Commissioner of Natural
Resources within ten (10) days of such action. In determining whether the property owner is
proposing to use the property in a reasonable manner, the following additional variance criteria
of the Federal Emergency Management Agency must also be satisfied:
a. Variances shall not be issued by a community within any designated regulatory floodway
if any increase in flood levels during the base flood discharge would result.
b. Variances shall only be issued by a community upon (i) a showing of good and sufficient
cause, (ii) a determination that failure to grant the variance would result in exceptional
hardship to the applicant, and (iii) a determination that the granting of a variance will not
result in increased flood heights, additional threats to public safety, extraordinary public
expense, create nuisances, cause fraud on or victimization of the public, or conflict with
existing local laws or ordinances.
c. Variances shall only be issued upon a determination that the variance is the minimum
necessary, considering the flood hazard, to afford relief.
d. No variance shall allow a lower degree of flood protection than the Regulatory Flood
Protection Elevation.

the base flood level will result in increased premium rates for flood insurance up to
amounts as high as $25 for $100 of insurance coverage and (ii) Such construction below
the 100-year or regional flood level increases risks to life and property. Such notification
shall be maintained with a record of all variance actions. A community shall maintain a
record of all variance actions, including justification for their issuance, and report such
variances issued in its annual or biennial report submitted to the Administrator of the
National Flood Insurance Program.
(b8) Process. A request for a variance shall be considered by the board of zoning appeals. The board
of zoning appeals shall consider the strict application of the provisions of this chapter and the

appeal is taken from the decision of the board of zoning appeals, the city council shall hear the
appeal within 30 days of the filing of the appeal unless that period is extended with consent of
the appellant. The city council may reverse a decision of the board of zoning appeals by an
affirmative vote of the majority of its full membership. The city council shall render a decision
within 30 days concluding the appeal hearing. A decision of the board of zoning appeals shall
not become effective until the end of the appeal period has expired. If an appeal is filed before

by the city council may not reapply for the same variance within 24 months from the denial date
unless the physical conditions of the property or land in question have changed. A change in the
physical conditions would include, but is not limited to, a division or combination of the land or
a taking of part of the land for public purpose.
(e) Refund of fees. If any application for a conditional use permit, variance, zoning amendment,
PUD, continued special permit, Comprehensive Plan amendment, subdivision, or vacation is withdrawn
in writing by the applicant or is not processed by the city for any other reason so that a final decision is
not made by the city, the applicant is entitled to a refund of the application fees paid to the city according

chapter is derived in cases where, due to the level of complexity of the application under consideration,
excessive costs beyond those normally incurred by the city as a result of the administration of the
ordinance from which this chapter is derived are incurred. The excess costs result from problems
presented in review, analysis, and evaluation which necessitate intensive investigation and research. The
intent of this section is to ensure an adequate level of review of these cases and to ensure that the adverse
effects of development on the city are minimized and compliance with goals and objectives of the
comprehensive plan and this chapter are obtained.

already paid to the city, but not needed to cover the costs and expenses incurred by the city in
reviewing their application or request.

(1b) Conditions where reimbursement authorized. The city may, in its sole discretion, require
reimbursement of city costs under the following conditions:
a.(1) When the city manager finds multiple planning commission and city council meetings are
required to review a particular item and additional staff time is expended on that item
subsequent to the initial meeting.
b.(2) When the city manager finds it necessary to retain consultants and experts to review requests
and advise its staff of specific impacts of a proposal, including but not limited to impacts on
traffic, utilities, drainage, and aesthetic or environmental characteristics of the community.
c.(3) When it is necessary for the city attorney to review a proposal.
d.(4) When the city manager finds that other extraordinary costs are incurred by the city as a
result of the administration of this chapter.
(2c) Procedure.
a.(1) The city shall notify the applicant that the city will incur additional costs at the earliest
possible time and, if possible, provide the applicant with an estimate of the expected
additional cost.
b.(2) The applicant shall pay the estimated additional cost to the city by certified check or bank
money order. If the amount paid to the city initially is insufficient to cover all city costs, the
additional amount shall be billed to the applicant. Any money which has not been used to
pay additional costs after the applicant's request has been processed shall be refunded to the
applicant.
c.(3) No certificate of occupancy for any project subject to this section shall be issued until all
money owing to the city has been received.
d.(4) All costs billed under this section shall be based on the actual cost to the city of staff time,
overhead, material costs, and actual billings from consultants, experts and attorneys.

holder has failed to complete the work within that year, unless a valid building permit
authorizing such work has been issued and work is progressing in an orderly way.
(11) Occurrence of certain events. If the holder of a conditional use permit or variance fails to make
actual use of vacant lands or lands and structures which were existing when the permit or
variance was issued and no new structure, alteration, or substantial repair to existing buildings
was required; or if a new structure was required by the conditional use permit or variance and
no building permit has been obtained, the conditional use permit or variance shall be revoked

permit has been discontinued prior to the end of two years, the city council may consider
or approve, by resolution, such requested extension if the city council finds the use to be
acceptable and a satisfactory reason exists to grant an extension; however, such extension
shall not be granted if it would allow the discontinued use to extend more than an
additional three years beyond the original two years.
(132) Plan change not required. In the event the City adopts an amendment to this Chapter that
results in a building, land use or conditional use permit becoming non-conforming prior to the
commencement of construction of the building, then changes to the plan will not be required if
construction begins within 90 days after the effective date of the ordinance amending this

adopted after that effective date or if a conditional use permit has been approved, the provision
of this chapter or any later amendment shall not require a change in the plans, or in the size or
use of the land if the construction described in the permit or those plans is started within 90
days of the effective date of the ordinance from which this chapter is derived or later
amendment. If, however, building construction is voluntarily discontinued before completion of
construction of the structure described in the permit or the plans by the permit holder for a
period of 90 days, any further construction shall conform to the provisions of this chapter or the
later amendment.

(a) Conditional uses. The conditional uses shall be consistent with the comprehensive plan,
regulations, purposes and procedures of this chapter. The city council shall approve all conditional use
permits which are issued and may attach such conditions to any permit as shall be determined to be
necessary or convenient to better accomplish the intent of the comprehensive plan and this chapter and to
minimize the impact of the use on adjacent properties. The city council may consider the provisions
relating to the use of the land of any redevelopment plan or development district program approved
pursuant to state law, as amended from time to time, and may incorporate such provisions in a conditional
use permit when deemed necessary. Conditional uses shall be consistent with the general conditions listed
in subsection (b) of this section. Other more specific conditions for any use requiring a conditional use
permit may be included in this article which regulates use districts or may be imposed by the city as a part
of the conditional use permit if the topography or other characteristics of the land or the character of the
use or manner of operation of the use shall require them.
(b) General conditions. No conditional use permit shall be issued unless the following findings are
made:
(1) It is consistent with and supportive of principles, goals, objectives, land use designations,
redevelopment plans, neighborhood objectives, and implementation strategies of the
comprehensive plan.
(2) It is not detrimental to the health, safety, morals and general welfare of the community as a
whole.
(3) It is consistent with the intent and purpose of this chapter and the zoning district in which the
conditional use is located.
(4) It will not have undue adverse impacts on governmental facilities, services or improvements
which are either existing or proposed.
(5) It will not have undue adverse impacts on the use and enjoyment of properties in close
proximity to the conditional use.
(6) It is subject to the design and other requirements of site and landscape plans prepared by or
under the direction of a professional landscape architect or civil engineer registered in the state
and adopted as part of the conditions imposed on the use by the city council. These plans shall
be presented to the community development director with the application for the conditional use
permit. The community development director shall prepare a report for the city council
reviewing the adequacy and feasibility of such plans.
(7) It is subject to drainage and utility plans prescribing locations for city water, sewer, fire
hydrants, manholes, power, telephone, and cable lines, natural gas mains, and other service
facilities prepared by a professional civil engineer registered in the state and adopted as part of
City Council Meeting of August 20, 2012 (Item No. 4c)
Subject: Second Reading of Zoning Ordinance Amendment - Conditional Use Permits Page 21
the conditions imposed on the use by the city council. These plans shall be presented to the
director of public works with the application for the conditional use permit. The director of
public works shall prepare a report for the city council reviewing the adequacy and feasibility of
such plans.
(8) It is subject to the imposition of additional conditions as part of the conditional use permit when,
in the opinion of the city council, such additional conditions are necessary to protect the general
welfare, public safety and neighborhood character. Such additional conditions may be imposed
in those situations where the other dimensional standards, performance standards, conditions or
requirements in this chapter are insufficient to achieve the objectives contained in section 36-1.
In these circumstances, the city council may impose restrictions and conditions on the
conditional use permit which are more stringent than those set forth in this section and which are
consistent with the general conditions listed in this subsection (b).

SECTION 1. Section 1-14 and Appendix A of the City Code are hereby amended as
follows:
Sec. 1-14. Civil Penalties.
(a) Purpose.
(1) Administrative offense procedures established pursuant to this section are intended to
provide the public and the city with an informal, cost effective and expeditious
alternative to traditional criminal charges for violations of certain ordinance provisions.
(2) The procedures are intended to be voluntary on the part of those who have been
charged with administrative offenses. At any time prior to the payment of the
administrative penalty as is provided for hereafter, the individual may withdraw from
participation in the procedures in which event the city may bring criminal charges in
accordance with law. Likewise, the city, in its discretion, may choose not to initiate an
administrative offense and may bring criminal charges in the first instance.
(3) In the event a party participates in the administrative offense procedures but does not
pay the monetary penalty which may be imposed, the city will seek to collect the costs
of the administrative offense procedures as part of a subsequent criminal sentence in the
event the party is charged and is adjudicated guilty of the criminal violation.
(b) Administrative offense defined. An administrative offense is a violation of a provision of
this Code and is subject to the administrative penalties set forth in the schedule of offenses and
penalties referred to in subsection (h), hereafter.
(c) Notice. Any person employed by the city, authorized in writing by the city manager,
shall, upon determining that there has been a violation, notify the violator, or in the case of a
vehicular violation, attach to the vehicle a notice of the violation. Said notice shall set forth the
nature, date and time of violation, the name of the official issuing the notice and the amount of
the scheduled penalty.
(d) Payment. Once such notice is given, the alleged violator may, within seven days of the
time of issuance of the notice, pay the amount set forth on the schedule of penalties for the
City Council Meeting of August 20, 2012 (Item No. 4d) Page 3
Subject: City Code Amendment Pertaining to Administrative Penalties – Second Reading
violation. The penalty may be paid in person or by mail, and payment shall be deemed to be an
admission of the violation.
(e) Appeal. Any person who is required by the city to pay an administrative penalty may
make a written appeal of the penalty to the city manager, or designee, within seven days of
notice by the city of the penalty. The city manager, or designee, will have authority to reduce the
fine or determine whether the appellant is to be charged with a penalty.
(f) Failure to pay. In the event a party charged with an administrative offense fails to pay the
penalty, a misdemeanor or petty misdemeanor charge may be brought against the alleged violator
in accordance with applicable statutes.
(g) Disposition of penalties. All penalties collected pursuant to this section shall be paid to
the city and may be deposited in the city's general fund.
(h) Offenses and penalties. Offenses which may be charged as administrative offenses and
the penalties for such offenses may be established by resolution of the city council from time to
time and listed in appendix A to this Code.
(i) Subsequent offenses. In the event a party is charged with a subsequent administrative
offense within a 12-month period of paying a penalty for the same or substantially similar
offense, the subsequent administrative penalty shall be increased by $10.00 above the previous
administrative penalty.
***
(a) Purpose. The city council finds that there is a need for alternative methods of enforcing
the city code. While criminal fines and penalties have been the most frequent enforcement
mechanism, there are certain negative consequences for both the city and the accused. The delay
inherent in that system does not ensure prompt resolution. The higher burden of proof and the
potential of incarceration do not appear appropriate for most Code violations; and the criminal
process does not always regard city code violations as being important. Accordingly, the city
council finds that the use of administrative citations and the imposition of civil penalties is a
legitimate and necessary alternative method of enforcement. This method of enforcement is in
addition to any other legal remedy that may be pursued for city code violations.
(b) Alternative methods of enforcement.
(1) The administrative hearing process provided for in this Article shall be in addition to
any other legal or equitable remedy available to the city for city code violations.
(2) The city may initiate a civil enforcement action to obtain code compliance before,
during or after an administrative enforcement proceedings.
(3) If the final adjudication in the administrative penalty procedure is a finding of no
violation, then the city may not prosecute a criminal violation in district court based on
the same set of facts. This does not preclude the city from pursuing an administrative
penalty or a criminal conviction for a violation of the same provision of the City Code
based on a different set of facts. A different date of violation will constitute a different
set of facts and a separate offense.
City Council Meeting of August 20, 2012 (Item No. 4d) Page 4

(c) General provisions.
(1) A violation of a provision of the city code or a violation of the terms and conditions of
a city approval, including permits and licenses, required and granted under this code is
an administrative offense that may be subject to an administrative citation and civil
penalties. Each day a violation exists constitutes a separate offense.
(2) An offense may be subject to a civil penalty not exceeding $2000.00 per separate
offense.
(3) The city council will adopt by ordinance a schedule of fines for offenses initiated by
administrative citation. The city council is not bound by the schedule when a matter is
appealed to it for administrative review.
(4) The city council may adopt a schedule of fees to be paid to administrative hearing
officers for his or her services.
(d) Administrative citation.
(1) A person authorized to enforce provisions of the city code may issue an administrative
citation upon belief that a code violation has occurred. The citation must be issued in
person or by first class mail to the person responsible for the violation. The citation
must state the date, time, and nature of the offense, the identity of the person issuing the
citation, the amount of the scheduled fine, and the manner for paying the fine or
appealing the citation. If the city seeks to impose more than one fine for a continuing
violation, a separate citation shall be issued for each violation date.
(2) The person responsible for the violation must either pay the scheduled fine or request a
hearing within ten calendar days after issuance of the citation. Payment of the fine
constitutes admission of the violation. A late payment fee of 10% of the scheduled fine
amount will be imposed in accordance with section 1-14(h).
(e) Administrative hearing.
(1) The city council will periodically approve a list of attorneys licensed to practice law in
the State of Minnesota, from which the city manager will randomly select a hearing
officer to hear and determine a matter for which a hearing is requested. The accused
will have the right to request no later than five calendar days before the date of the
hearing that the assigned hearing officer be removed from the case. One request for
each case will be granted automatically by the city manager. A subsequent request
must be directed to the assigned hearing officer who will decide whether he or she
cannot fairly and objectively review the case. The city enforcement officer may
remove a hearing officer only by requesting that the assigned hearing officer find that
he or she cannot fairly and objectively review the case. If such a finding is made, the
officer shall remove himself or herself from the case, and the city manager will assign
another hearing officer. The hearing officer must not be a city employee. The city
manager must establish a procedure for evaluating the competency of the hearing
officers, including comments from accused violators and city staff. These reports must
be provided to the city council.
(2) Upon the hearing officer's own initiative or upon written request of a party
demonstrating the need, the officer may issue a subpoena for the attendance of a
witness or the production of books, papers, records or other documents that are material
to the matter being heard. The party requesting the subpoena is responsible for serving
the subpoena and for paying the fees and expenses of a witness in accordance with the
City Council Meeting of August 20, 2012 (Item No. 4d) Page 5
Subject: City Code Amendment Pertaining to Administrative Penalties – Second Reading
same rules governing civil lawsuits in state court. A person served with a subpoena
may file an objection with the hearing officer promptly but no later than the time
specified in the subpoena for compliance. The hearing officer may cancel or modify
the subpoena if it is unreasonable or oppressive. A person who, without just cause,
fails or refuses to attend and testify or to produce the required documents in obedience
to a subpoena is guilty of a misdemeanor. Alternatively, the party requesting the
subpoena may seek an order from district court directing compliance.
(3) Notice of the hearing must be served in person or by mail on the person responsible for
the violation at least 10 calendar days in advance, unless a shorter time is accepted by
all parties. At the hearing, the parties will have the opportunity to present testimony
and question any witnesses, but strict rules of evidence will not apply. The hearing
officer must tape record the hearing and receive testimony and exhibits. The officer
must receive and give weight to evidence, including hearsay evidence, which possesses
probative value commonly accepted by reasonable and prudent people in the conduct of
their affairs.
(4) The hearing officer has the authority to determine that a violation occurred, to dismiss a
citation, to impose or modify (increase or decrease) the scheduled fine, and to modify,
stay, or waive a scheduled fine either unconditionally or upon compliance with
appropriate conditions. When imposing a penalty for a violation, the hearing officer
may consider any or all of the following factors:
a. The duration of the violation;
b. The frequency or reoccurrence of the violation;
c. The seriousness of the violation;
d. The history of the violation;
e. The violator's conduct after issuance of the notice of hearing;
f. The good faith effort by the violator to comply;
g. The economic impact of the penalty on the violator;
h. The impact of the violation upon the community; and
i. Any other factors appropriate to a just result.
(5) The hearing officer's decision and supporting reasons must be in writing.
(6) Except for matters subject to administrative review under subsection (f) Appeal to City
Council, the decision of the hearing officer is final without any further right of
administrative appeal.
(7) The failure to attend the hearing constitutes a waiver of the violator's rights to an
administrative hearing and an admission of the violation. A hearing officer may waive
this result upon good cause shown. Examples of “good cause” are: death or
incapacitating illness of the accused; a court order requiring the accused to appear for
another hearing at the same time; and lack of proper service of the citation or notice of
the hearing. “Good cause” does not include: forgetfulness and intentional delay.
(f) Appeal to City Council.
City Council Meeting of August 20, 2012 (Item No. 4d) Page 6
Subject: City Code Amendment Pertaining to Administrative Penalties – Second Reading
(1) The hearing officer's decision in any of the following matters may be appealed by a
party to the city council for administrative review by submitting a request in writing to
the city clerk within 10 calendar days after the hearing officer's decision:
a. An alleged failure to obtain a permit, license, or other approval typically granted by
the city council as required by an ordinance;
b. An alleged violation of a permit, license, other approval, of the conditions attached
to the permit, license, or approval, that was granted by the city council; and
(2) The appeal will be heard by the city council after notice served in person or by
registered mail at least 10 calendar days in advance. The parties to the hearing will
have an opportunity to present oral or written arguments regarding the hearing officer's
decision.
(3) The city council must consider the record, the hearing officer's decision, and any
additional arguments before making a determination. The council is not bound by the
hearing officer's decision, but may adopt all or part of the officer's decision. The
council's decision must be in writing.
(4) If the council makes a finding of a violation, it may impose a civil penalty not
exceeding $2,000.00 per violation, and may consider any or all of the factors contained
in section 1-14(e)4. The council may also modify, stay, or waive a fine unconditionally
or based on reasonable and appropriate conditions.
(5) In addition to imposing a civil penalty, the council may suspend or revoke a city-issued
license, permit, or other approval associated with the violation, if the procedure in the
city code for suspension or revocation has been followed.
(g) Judicial review. An aggrieved party may obtain judicial review of the decision of the
hearing officer or the city council in accordance with state law.
(h) Recovery of civil penalties.
(1) If a civil penalty is not paid within the time specified, it constitutes:
a. A personal obligation of the violator;
b. An obligation of a business or person(s) that is conducting an activity licensed by
the City if the violation relates to the maintenance of the property or to an activity,
use or delivery of services associated with the business or activity; and
c. A lien upon the real property upon which the violation occurred if the violation
relates to the maintenance of the property or to an activity, use or delivery of City
services associated with the property.
(2) A lien may be assessed against the property and collected in the same manner as
taxes. The lien may include the administrative and legal costs incurred by the city in
connection with collecting the unpaid administrative penalty. Prior to assessing the lien
against the property, the city must attempt to obtain voluntary payment of the
administrative penalty and provide the property owner listed on the tax record with
notice and an opportunity to be heard.
(3) A personal obligation may be collected by any appropriate legal means.
(4) A late payment fee of 10% of the fine will be assessed for each 30-day period, or part
thereof, that the fine remains unpaid after the due date.
(5) During the time that a civil penalty remains unpaid, no city approval will be granted for
a license, permit, or other city approval sought by the violator or for property under the
violator’s ownership or control.
City Council Meeting of August 20, 2012 (Item No. 4d) Page 7
Subject: City Code Amendment Pertaining to Administrative Penalties – Second Reading
(6) Failure to pay a fine is grounds for suspending, revoking, denying, or not renewing a
license or permit associated with the violation.
(i) Applicable laws. Where differences occur between provisions of this chapter and other
applicable code sections, this chapter applies.

CITY OF ST. LOUIS PARK
RESOLUTION NO. 12-____
APPROVING A FIRST AMENDMENT TO DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
IN CONNECTION WITH HOUSING IMPROVEMENTS
WITHIN THE GREENSBORO CONDOMINIUM OWNERS ASSOCIATION
HOUSING IMPROVEMENT AREA
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council (“Council”) of the City of St. Louis Park (the
“City”) as follows:
Section 1. Recitals.
1.01. The City is authorized under Minnesota Statutes, Sections 428A.11 to 428.21 (the
"Housing Improvement Act") to establish by ordinance a housing improvement area within
which housing improvements are made or constructed and the costs of the improvements are
paid in whole or in part from fees imposed within the area. The Council adopted a Housing
Improvement Area policy on July 16, 2001.
1.02. In order to facilitate Housing Improvements to property known as the
"Greensboro Condominium Owners Association" the Council on December 5, 2011, established
the Greensboro Condominium Owners Association Housing Improvement Area by Ordinance
No. 2406-11 (the "Enabling Ordinance") and approved a Housing Improvement Fee (the “Fee”)
by Resolution 11-134.
1.03. Pursuant to the Enabling Ordinance, the City entered into a Development
Agreement (the “Agreement”) between the City and the Greensboro Condominium Owners
Association (the “Association”), dated as of April 12, 2012, under which the City agreed to make
a loan of funds legally available for such purpose (the “Loan”) to the Association to finance the
Housing Improvements as described in the Agreement. The Agreement provides that the Loan
will be funded both from the proceeds of an internal loan from the EDA Development Fund (the
“Internal Loan”), as provided in the Internal Loan Resolution adopted by the EDA on May 7,
2012, and from the proceeds of the City’s taxable general obligation housing improvement area
bonds, to be issued in September of 2012.
1.04. .The City and the Association have agreed that it is necessary to modify certain
terms of the Agreement to reflect the final terms of the Internal Loan and final project costs
related to the Housing Improvements, and have proposed to enter into a First Amendment to
Development Agreement (the “First Amendment”) in the form presented to the Council.
Section 2. First Amendment approved.
2.01. The First Amendment as presented to the Council is hereby in all respects
approved, subject to modifications that do not alter the substance of the transaction and that are

FIRST AMENDMENT TO DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
This agreement is made as of __________, 2012, by and between the CITY OF ST. LOUIS
PARK, a Minnesota municipal corporation (the “City”) and GREENSBORO CONDOMINIUM
OWNERS ASSOCIATION, a Minnesota nonprofit corporation (the “Association”).
WHEREAS, the City and the Association entered into that certain Development Agreement
dated as of April 12, 2012 (the “Contract”) providing, among other things, for the construction by
the Association of certain improvements (the “Housing Improvements”) on property within a
housing improvement area (the “Housing Improvement Area”) duly established under Minnesota
Statutes, Sections 428A.11 through 428A.21 (the “Act”) and legally described within the Contract
(the “Property”); and the financing of the Housing Improvements by the City through an Internal
Loan and the issuance of Bonds (as such terms are defined in the Contract); and
WHEREAS, the parties have determined to amend certain provisions of the Contract to
reflect the final terms of the Internal Loan and final project costs related to the Housing
Improvements.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual obligations of the
parties hereto, each of them does hereby covenant and agree with the other as follows:
1. Amendment to Section 3.1 of the Contract. Section 3.1 of the Contract is amended
as follows:
Section 3.1. Financing. In order to provide funds to defray the costs of the Housing
Improvements, the City will (i) make an Internal Loan from funds legally available for such
purposes, in the maximum principal amount of $2,525,000 (“Loan Amount”), and (ii) issue Bonds
in the maximum principal amount described in Section 3.3 (the "Bond Amount"). The parties agree
and understand that the Bonds and the Internal Loan will be repaid from Fee Revenues. The terms
of the Internal Loan and of the Bonds shall be as specified in this Article.
2. Amendment to Section 3.2 to the Contract. Section 3.2 of the Contract is amended
as follows:
Section 3.2. Terms of Internal Loan. (a) As of the date of this Agreement, the source of
funds for the Internal Loan is the development fund administered and controlled by the Authority.
The Authority has agreed to make such funds available to the City for purposes of making the
Internal Loan, all pursuant to the Internal Loan Resolution approved by the Authority on May 7,
2012. The Internal Loan Resolution establishes a Project Fund; specifies that interest shall accrue
on the Loan Amount at a fixed annual interest rate that is 100 basis points higher than the true
interest cost of the Bonds, with interest accrual beginning January 1, 2013; and specifies payment
dates and other terms consistent with the terms of the Fee Resolution and this Agreement.
(b) The Loan Amount has been constructively deposited in the Project Fund as of the
effective date of the Internal Loan Resolution. Internal Loan monies in the Project Fund shall be
advanced to the Association as Housing Improvement costs are incurred, as provided in Sections 3.7
and 3.8, or to pay administrative costs, legal fees, financial advisor fees, rebates of prepaid Fee
Revenues and soft costs (collectively, “Administrative Costs”).
City Council Meeting of August 20, 2012 (Item 4e) Page 6
Title: Approve First Amendment to Development Agreement for Greensboro Condo HIA
Internal Loan moneys in the Project Fund shall be subject to withdrawal only for the
purposes of paying the costs of Housing Improvements (including the Administrative Costs
described above) or subject to any applicable provision of law, for payments theretofore made by
the Association for such costs. None of the funds in the Project Fund shall be used for any purposes
other than payment or reimbursement of such costs, except as otherwise provided in Sections 3.3
and 3.6 hereof.
Administrative Costs in the amount not to exceed $450,000 may be disbursed from the
Project Fund at any time after the effective date of the Internal Loan Resolution.
(c) Fee Revenues will be applied as repayment of the Internal Loan in accordance with
the terms of the Internal Loan Resolution, and will be credited by the City to the Authority fund
from which the Internal Loan was derived.
(d) The City and Association agree, and the Internal Loan Resolution provides, that
interest earnings on funds in the Project Fund and any other revenue fund established under the
Internal Loan Resolution shall be credited to the Authority fund that was the source of the Internal
Loan.
3. Amendment to Section 3.3(a) of the Contract. Section 3.3(a) of the Contract is
amended as follows:
Section 3.3. Terms of Bonds. (a) The City shall issue the Bonds in the maximum
principal amount that is supported by the Fee Revenues and that will, in conjunction with the Loan
Amount and all Fee Revenues prepaid by owners of Housing Units prior to issuance of the Bonds in
accordance with the Fee Resolution, produce total funds in the maximum amount of $3,500,000.
At closing on issuance of the Bonds, proceeds (net of capitalized interest and costs of issuance)
together with prepaid Fee Revenues and proceeds of the Internal Loan as described in Section 3.2
hereof, shall be deposited by the City into the Project Fund for disbursement to the Association in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Bond proceeds in the Project Fund shall be subject to
withdrawal from time to time only for the purposes of paying the costs of Housing Improvements,
or subject to any applicable provision of law, for payments theretofore made by the Association for
such costs. None of the Bond proceeds in the Project Fund shall be used for any purposes other
than payment or reimbursement of such costs of Housing Improvements, except as otherwise
provided in the Bond Resolution and Section 3.6 hereof. The City will issue the Bonds by October
31, 2012, subject to Unavoidable Delays and the City's ability to issue the Bonds under existing
laws and market conditions.
4. Miscellaneous. Except as amended by this Amendment, the Contract shall remain in
full force and effect. Upon execution, the Association shall reimburse the City for all out-of pocket-
costs incurred by the City in connection with negotiating, drafting and approval of this Amendment.

TITLE:
Approve Amended and Restated Development Agreement for Westwood Villa Housing
Improvement Area (HIA)
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to Adopt Resolution amending and restating Development Agreement in connection with
housing improvements within the Westwood Villa Association HIA.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
The Resolution approves an amended and restated Development Agreement based on funding
the Westwood Villa HIA from the Development Fund, rather than a combination of internal
Development funds and bond proceeds.
BACKGROUND:
Key dates and actions for the Westwood Villa HIA project:
• May 7, 2012 the Council adopted Ordinance 2413-12 establishing the Westwood Villa
HIA and passed Resolution No. 12-066 imposing fees.
• July 1, 2012 the City entered into a Development Agreement with Westwood Villa
Association in which the City agreed to make a loan of funds available to the Association
to finance Housing Improvements.
• July 16, 2012 the EDA approved Internal Loan Fund Resolution No.12-10
• August 20, 2012 the EDA will consider an amendment to Internal Loan Fund Resolution
No. 12-10 to fund the project solely from Development Funds.
The Development Agreement was based on the city issuing bonds along with authorizing
internal financing to cover the estimated Westwood Villa project costs of $2,185,000. The loan
amount actually required is just over $1,200,000. Due to lower costs to construct the
improvements and higher levels of fee prepayments than anticipated the entire loan may be
funded from the Development Fund and it is not necessary to issue bonds to finance the
Westwood Villa housing improvements. Kennedy & Graven, EDA counsel, drafted the
amended agreement which removes all language relating to bond financing. Aside from changes
related to the project costs and financing, the Development Agreement remains as previously
agreed upon.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION:
The executed Development Agreement with the Association ensures that the loan is secured by
Association Assets, defined as dues, fees, assessments and other income owing to the
Association from unit owners. Owners that did not prepay the fee, will begin fee payment with
their property taxes beginning in 2013 and have the option to pay-off the fee in future years.

“City”) as follows:
Section 1. Recitals.
1.01. The City is authorized under Minnesota Statutes, Sections 428A.11 to 428.21 (the
"Housing Improvement Act") to establish by ordinance a housing improvement area within
which housing improvements are made or constructed and the costs of the improvements are
paid in whole or in part from fees imposed within the area. The Council adopted a Housing
Improvement Area policy on July 16, 2001.
1.02. In order to facilitate Housing Improvements to property known as the "Westwood
Villa Association" the Council on May 7, 2012, established the Westwood Villa Association
Housing Improvement Area by Ordinance No. 2413-12 (the "Enabling Ordinance") and
approved a Housing Improvement Fee (the “Fee”) by Resolution 12-066.
1.03. Pursuant to the Enabling Ordinance, the City entered into a Development
Agreement (the “Agreement”) between the City and the Westwood Villa Association (the
“Association”), dated as of July 1, 2012, under which the City agreed to make a loan of funds
legally available for such purpose (the “Loan”) to the Association to finance the Housing
Improvements as described in the Agreement. The Agreement provides that the Loan will be
funded both from the proceeds of an internal loan from the EDA Development Fund (the
“Internal Loan”), as provided in the Internal Loan Resolution adopted by the EDA on July 16,
2012, and from the proceeds of the City’s taxable general obligation housing improvement area
bonds, to be issued in September of 2012.
1.04. Due to lower costs to construct the Housing Improvements and higher levels of
prepayment of the Fee than anticipated, the City has determined that the entire Loan may be
funded from the proceeds of the Internal Loan, and that it is not necessary to issue bonds to
finance the Westwood Villa Housing Improvements.
1.05. .The City and the Association have agreed that it is necessary to amend and
restate the Development Agreement to reflect the City’s determination not to issue bonds to
finance the Housing Improvements, and have proposed to enter into an Amended and Restated
Development Agreement (the “Amended Agreement”) in the form presented to the Council.

Special Assessment - Water and Sewer Service Line Repairs at 7035 West 24th Street
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to Adopt Resolution authorizing the special assessment for the repair of the water and
sewer service lines at 7035 W. 24th Street, St. Louis Park, MN - P.I.D. 08-117-21-13-0103.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
The proposed action is consistent with policy previously established by the City Council.
BACKGROUND:
Eric Hitchings, owner of the single family residence at 7035 W. 24th Street, has requested the City to
authorize the repair of the water and sewer service lines for his home and assess the cost against the
property in accordance with the City’s special assessment policy.
Analysis:
The City requires the repair of service lines to promote the general public health, safety and welfare
within the community. The special assessment policy for the repair or replacement of water or sewer
service lines for existing homes was adopted by the City Council in 1996. This program was put into
place because sometimes property owners face financial hardships when emergency repairs like this
are unexpectedly required.
Plans and permits for the water and sewer service line repair work were completed, submitted, and
approved by City staff. The property owner hired a contractor and repaired the water and sewer
service lines in compliance with current codes and regulations. Based on the completed work, this
repair qualifies for the City’s special assessment program. The property owner has petitioned the City
to authorize the water and sewer service line repairs and special assess the cost of those repairs. The
total eligible cost of the repairs has been determined to be $6,000.00.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION:
The City has funds in place to finance the cost of this special assessment.

Not applicable.

The City has received a request to install a “No Parking” area on the west side of Zarthan
Avenue, south of Minnetonka Boulevard (see attached map). The request was made because of
observations that when vehicles are parked on Zarthan Avenue, it can be difficult for vehicles to
pass one another on Zarthan Avenue. This becomes a problem when vehicles are entering or
exiting Minnetonka Boulevard. This “No Parking” area would provide additional space for
vehicles to pass one another.
City staff has contacted the residents adjacent to the proposed “No Parking” area and there were
no objections to this change. City staff finds this request reasonable and is therefore
recommending Council approve the attached resolution authorizing the installation of “No
Parking” restrictions on the west side of Zarthan Avenue from Minnetonka Boulevard to a point
50 feet to the south.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION:
The cost of enacting these controls is minimal and will come out of the general operating budget.
VISION CONSIDERATION:
None.

Traffic Study Number 636: Authorize Installation of Parking Restrictions on Powell Road
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
Motion to Adopt Resolution authorizing “No Parking” restrictions on Powell Road.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
Does the City Council wish to authorize the installation of the parking restrictions as noted in
this staff report?
The proposed action is consistent with City policy.
BACKGROUND:
The City has received a request to limit parking along both sides of Powell Road from
Meadowbrook Road to the City boundary (see attached map). Semi-truck parking on both sides
of the street makes it difficult for vehicles to get through. Engineering staff has worked with the
Police Department staff who have noted that the semi-trucks parking in this area are not
associated with any of the businesses in the area; these are private haulers that are using the City
streets as parking space, frequently staying in one place for over 48 hours. Installing “No
Parking” restrictions in this area would prevent this type of parking, as well as match existing
parking restrictions adjacent to the area in Hopkins.
City staff has contacted the property owners adjacent to the proposed “No Parking” area and
there were no objections to this change. City staff finds this request reasonable and is therefore
recommending Council approve the attached resolution authorizing the installation of “No
Parking” restrictions on both sides of Powell Road from Meadowbrook Road to the City
boundary.

POLICY CONSIDERATION:
None, this is a recordkeeping measure.
BACKGROUND:
The City Council approved the final plat for Ellipse II on Excelsior on January 17, 2012. During

I. Call to Order
Chair Johnson called the meeting to order at 7:37 p.m.
A. Roll Call
Commissioners Present: Brian Johnson, Jeff Mueller, Rashmi Seneviratne, Mary Tomback
and Rhoda Quick
Staff: Marney Olson and Amy Stegora-Peterson
B. Approval of Agenda
It was moved by Commissioner Tomback, seconded by Commissioner Seneviratne, to
approve agenda as presented. The motion passed 5-0.
C. Approval of Minutes
It was moved by Commissioner Seneviratne, seconded by Commissioner Tomback, to
approve the minutes of April 17, 2012, as presented. The motion passed 5-0.
II. Commissioner and Committee Reports
A. Individual commissioner and staff reports
Ms. Olson indicated City Council approved a proclamation thanking Commission volunteers
for their community service. Commissioner Tomback noted she recently heard that many
other cities look to St. Louis Park as a model for their commissions and community
involvement.
III. Recap from Children First Ice Cream Social
Ms. Olson indicated the ice cream social was very busy and 81 kids signed the anti-bullying
pledge. They had a wheel for kids to spin that was very popular.
IV. Anti-Bullying Task Force Update
Chair Johnson reported the task force met prior to this meeting. He received a phone call that
the Director of the movie Bully could speak for $15-20,000 and they believed they would be
speaking to a very large group. That wasn’t something the Commission is able to do. The
movie Producers want to run the movie in theaters for a few more months and won’t be ready
to release a DVD until November. The Commission could organize an event at ICON to
show the film to a group of kids (people would need to pay).
The task force decided to start an anti-bullying campaign as a forum first. They discussed
how they wanted to approach it and decided to have a forum to frame it, get a definition and
talk about bullying first and also show the trailer to Bully. There was a concern about
City Council Meeting of August 20, 2012 (Item No. 4m) Page 2
Subject: Human Rights Commission Meeting Minutes of June 19, 2012
kindergarten age kids to 5th graders seeing the film. By showing the trailer, it would allow
parents to decide if they should see the entire film.
Ms. Olson noted the task force created a working definition and language around bullying.
At last months meeting, the Principal and Counselor present were concerned about showing
movie and not having resources available to people and how they would handle questions.
That led to the idea of a forum and then showing the movie a few months after.
Commissioner Tomback thought that was a good idea. They can buy a copy of the DVD and
show as part of the film series and at other places.
Chair Johnson said after the forum they could do a public viewing of Bully (at theater) and
then show as part of the film series, a second showing presented by the HRC. They can
reach two populations, the school and at City Hall. The senior community would probably
be more likely to attend at City Hall and City Council showed an interest in having seniors
involved.
Commissioner Tomback noted she received a phone call from a citizen to talk about senior
bullying. Ms. Olson noted the police department was invited to talk to two different senior
living communities regarding bullying.
Chair Johnson said seniors might not be able to access resources and it can be a different
issue than with middle schoolers or high schoolers, etc. The forum could continue discussion
and people become more aware of the issues.
Commissioner Seneviratne added if they do as an HRC film series, they could look further
into elderly bullying. Commissioner Tomback agreed to look into more information.
Ms. Olson stated the task force is for one-year and this can be done as a second year.
Commissioner Mueller stated the focus should be on the victims, and by stander and what
they can do. Ms. Olson added that the task force also talked a lot about the by standers.
V. Marriage Amendment Forum Discussion
Commissioner Mueller stated with the marriage amendment coming up, he wondered what
they can do in St. Louis Park and thought they could hold an educational forum (not debate).
Minnesotans United for All Families is opposed to the amendment and could do a
presentation. They could also get a couple to talk about their experiences.
Ms. Olson indicated she talked with the City Manager about this and he said they needed the
City Council and City Attorney opinions. City Council passed a Resolution against the
amendment. Council said if the City Attorney was comfortable with it, they would support
it. The City Attorney said yes, this could be done, however no government funds could be
used (marketing, mileage, speakers). The Commission needed to discuss further and come
up with a plan for the City Attorney to review.
Chair Johnson wrote a public policy paper on the marriage amendment and got information
from both sides about the amendment. He also did an additional paper for his law class. He
had good information about this issue and would love to be involved in a forum.
City Council Meeting of August 20, 2012 (Item No. 4m) Page 3
Subject: Human Rights Commission Meeting Minutes of June 19, 2012
Commissioner Tomback liked the idea of making sure people understood what the
amendment said. She would be nervous about it presented as “meet opponent to marriage
amendment and gay couples.” It could be ripe for protestors. They should market it as an
opportunity to learn about the amendment and the affect on the community and that people
can ask questions of MN United.
Ms. Olson stated it should be advertised as educational and not as, “Vote NO.” but clear
about the organization who was educating them.
Commissioner Tomback noted they could tie it to the Resolution that the City Council
recently passed and that they had set a position. It was an opportunity to learn more. They
would be hosting the forum and have set guidelines and enforce rules. It would need to be a
controlled Q & A.
Commissioner Seneviratne suggested questions be submitted in writing.
Chair Johnson indicated if marriage amendment supporters asked why they were not
represented, they would note it was in response to the City Resolution.
Commissioner Tomback suggested finding out the type of presentation MN United would do.
Commissioner Seneviratne has a friend who does outreach for them and would contact them.
Commissioners decided they could plan to do the presentation in September or October and
present the language, ramifications of the marriage amendment and what would and would
not change. They could also provide handouts. There would be no solicitation of funds and
no telling people how to vote.
It was moved by Commissioner Mueller, seconded by Commissioner Quick, to organize an
educational forum about the marriage amendment.
The motion passed 5-0.
Ms. Olson suggested doing a sub-committee on the marriage amendment education forum.
VII. New Business
Chair Johnson suggested the July meeting begin at 7:30.

from the Commissioners for more information related to the contractor’s efforts to

TITLE:
Call for Sale of General Obligation Bonds for Greensboro Square
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to Adopt Resolution Providing for Sale of:
• $1,290,000 Taxable G.O. Housing Improvement Area (HIA) Bonds, Series 2012A
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
• Does the City Council agree with staff and consultants that there are sufficient resources
available over time to repay the bonds to be issued?
• Are the bonds issued for a period of time that is equal to or less than the expected useful
life of the assets to be constructed?
BACKGROUND:
On December 5, 2011 the Council established Ordinance 2406-11 establishing the Greensboro
HIA and passed Resolution No. 11-134 imposing fees. This was done in response to Greensboro
Condominium Owners Association’s petition to the Council to conduct a public hearing
regarding the establishment of Greensboro Condominium Owners Association as an HIA.
The total project cost was originally estimated to be $3,835,000 and has been decreased to
$3,445,862, of which $2,947,394 is for construction costs with the remainder for soft costs and
bond issuance costs. The City received $1,047,260 in prepaid special assessments. This means
the City will need to loan the association $2,398,602 to pay for all costs associated with the
project. $1,290,000 will be financed through the issuance of Taxable General Obligation
Housing Improvement Area bonds. The remainder of the cost, $1,108,602, will be financed
through a loan of funds from the EDA’s Development Fund. Both the bonds and the EDA loan
will be repaid to the City from the HIA fees collected with the real estate taxes of the property
owners located in the Greensboro HIA. Both the bonds and the EDA loan will have a twenty
year term, and the interest rate on the EDA loan will be set at the interest rate on the bonds, with
a finalized EDA loan payment schedule to be prepared upon issuance of the bonds. Any of the
remaining 191 property owners that did not prepay their HIA fee will have the opportunity to
prepay at any time during the 20-year term of the bonds and EDA loan.
The bond sale is currently scheduled for September 24th, with the bond proceeds being available
in late October. Since Greensboro HIA is moving forward with improvements now, the EDA
will need to potentially lend the City $2,398,602 of the project costs, since the prepaid HIA fees
will not be adequate to cover the construction costs and the bond proceeds won’t be available
until October. Since the funds are being loaned from the EDA to the City, this constitutes an
internal loan and a resolution authorizing the loan was approved by the EDA May 7, 2012. The
internal loan will be for an amount up to $2,525,000 and only the amount of funds needed to pay
for project costs will be advanced. A portion of this internal loan will be repaid to the EDA
City Council Meeting of August 20, 2012 (Item No. 8a) Page 2
Subject: Call for Sale of General Obligation Bonds for Greensboro Square
when bond proceeds are received in October and the remaining will be repaid through collection
of the HIA fees over 20 years.
The Bonds will carry taxable interest rates because the improvements are on private property
rather than the typical public improvements. It is the intent of the City to levy a housing
improvement area fee on each unit to support 105% of the debt service beginning with taxes
payable beginning in 2013 for those owners that did not prepay.
The attached memo and proposed schedule represent their estimate of the potential interest rates.
The actual rates and dollar amount of the sale will vary depending on the market conditions on
the sale date.
Next Steps
Upon approval, Ehlers is authorized to solicit proposals for the sale of bonds. On September 24,
2012, Council will consider sealed proposals and awarding the sale of the bonds.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION:
Issuance of these bonds is necessary to provide partial funding for the project, and to allow for
the City’s liquid financial assets to be available for other projects within the City.
VISION CONSIDERATION:
The Greensboro Condominium Owners Association HIA improvements are consistent with
Vision St. Louis Park and the Strategic Directions adopted by the City Council: “St. Louis Park
is committed to providing a well-maintained and diverse housing stock”. The HIA tool
addresses affordably valued, aging owner-occupied townhouse and condominium housing stock.
The proposed improvements specifically address the focus of property maintenance to foster
quality housing and community aesthetics.

City Council Meeting of August 20, 2012 (Item No. 8a)
Subject: Call for Sale of General Obligation Bonds for Greensboro Square Page 4
Executive Summary of Proposed Debt
Proposed Issue: $1,290,000 Taxable GO HIA Bonds, Series, 2012A
Authority: The Bonds are being issued pursuant to Minnesota Statues, Chapter
428A (Housing Improvement Areas) and 475 (general bond statute).
Purposes/Funding Sources:
The majority of the owners of the 260-unit Greensboro Condominium
Association have petitioned the City to create a housing improvement
area and to issue Bonds and an EDA loan to fund approximately
$3,446,000 of improvements to the exteriors of the units (inclusive of
all soft costs). The funding sources are $1,108,602 in an EDA loan,
$1,047,260 in prepaid assessments and the remaining $1,290,000 in
Bond proceeds. The Bonds will carry taxable interest rates because
the improvements are on private property rather than the typical
public improvements.
It is the intent of the City to levy a housing improvement area fee on
each unit to support 105% of the debt service (for both the Bonds and
the EDA Loan) beginning with taxes payable in 2013. The fees are
very similar to special assessments for public improvements and can
be pre-paid in whole or in part at any time during the term of the
Bonds. The EDA Loan and the Bonds have been sized to allow for
the majority of prepayments to go to repay the EDA loan first, then to
prepay on the Bonds. The reason being is that the Bonds cannot be
refinanced for approximately 8 years (call date) and therefore if the
City were to receive substantial prepayments in the first 8 years, they
would not be able to invest the funds at any rate near the estimated
interest rate of 4.25%. To date 69 of the home owners have prepaid
the housing improvement fee and this amount was taken into
consideration when determining the size of the Bonds and EDA loan
(as noted above).
Risk Factors
The average fee per unit for the 191 unit owners that have not prepaid
the assessment is expected to be approximately $12,500. This
amount of fee may result in delinquency of fees, or ultimately a
potential property tax foreclosure (the risk of tax foreclosure is
expected to be minimal if at all). The requirement to levy 105% of
the debt service will assist in mitigating making Bond and EDA loan
payments due to delays in payments from unit owners and/or
delinquencies. It should be noted that it has been the experience of
the City that delinquencies and foreclosures have not been an issue
with past HIA districts the City has created.
Term/Call Feature
The Bonds are being issued for a 20-year period. Principal on the
Bonds will be due on February 1 in the years 2014 through 2033.
Bonds maturing February 1, 2020, and thereafter will be subject to
prepayment at the discretion of the City on February 1, 2019.
Bank Qualification
Because the Bonds are taxable, they do not count against the City’s
Bank Qualification limit for issuing future tax exempt bonds this
City Council Meeting of August 20, 2012 (Item No. 8a)
Subject: Call for Sale of General Obligation Bonds for Greensboro Square Page 5
year.
Rating:
The City’s most recent bond issues were rated “AAA” by Standard &
Poor’s. The City will request a new rating for the Bonds.
Method of Sale/Placement:
In order to obtain the lowest interest cost to the City and thus the
homeowners, we will solicit competitive bids for purchase of the
Bonds from national and regional bidders.
We have included an allowance for discount bidding equal to 1.25%
of the principal amount of the issue. The discount is treated as an
interest item and provides the underwriter with all or a portion of its
compensation in the transaction.
If the Bonds are purchased at a price greater than the minimum bid
amount (maximum discount), the unused allowance may be used to
lower the borrowing amount.
Review of Existing Debt:
We have reviewed all outstanding indebtedness for the City and find
that there is the opportunity to do a current refunding this fall of the
2005A GO Bonds. We will continue discussions with staff regarding
the desire to pursue the refinancing of these bonds and the timing
thereof.
Continuing Disclosure:
Because the City has more than $10,000,000 in outstanding debt
(including this issue) and this issue is over $1,000,000, the City will
be agreeing to provide certain updated Annual Financial Information
and its Audited Financial Statement annually as well as providing
notices of the occurrence of certain “material events” to the
Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (the “MSRB”), as required
by rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The
City is already obligated to provide such reports for its existing
bonds, and has contracted with Ehlers to prepare and file the reports.
Arbitrage Monitoring:
Because the Bonds are taxable securities, they are not subject to
arbitrage.

Bid Tabulation: Street Project - Beltline Boulevard Trail Crossing - Project #2012-1307
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to designate Midwest Asphalt Corporation the lowest responsible bidder and authorize
execution of a contract with the firm in the amount of $82,348.70 for Street Project - Beltline
Boulevard Trail Crossing, Project No. 2012-1307, upon receipt of a construction permit from the
Hennepin County Regional Railroad Authority.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
Does the City Council wish to take the final step to allow this project to move forward?
BACKGROUND:
Bid Information:
On July 16, 2012, Council adopted a resolution that included approving plans and specifications
and authorizing advertisement for bids for improvements at the Cedar Lake Regional Trail
crossing at Beltline Boulevard. This project essentially involves widening the roadway to the east
and holding the west curb line and re-aligning the trail approaches. This will allow for the center
median to widen up to 12 feet, while maintaining the existing traffic lane widths.
Bids were received on August 14, 2012. An advertisement for bids was published in the St.
Louis Park Sun-Sailor on July 26, and August 2, 2012 and in the Construction Bulletin on July
30, and August 6, 2012. In addition, plans and specifications are noticed on the City Website
and are made available electronically via the internet by our vendor Quest CDN.com. Email
notification is provided to five minority associations and final printed plans are made available
for viewing at the AGC of Minnesota Planroom and at City Hall.
Twenty-one contractors purchased plan sets with three Disadvantaged Business Enterprises
(DBE’s) identifying themselves as subcontractors.
A total of four (4) bids were received for this project. A summary of the bid results is as follows:

City Council Meeting of August 20, 2012 (Item No. 8b) Page 2
Subject: Bid Tabulation: Street Project - Beltline Boulevard Trail Crossing - Project #2012-1307
Evaluation of Bids:
Staff has reviewed all of the bids submitted and has tabulated the results. From the review, staff
recommends Midwest Asphalt Corporation as the lowest responsible bidder. Midwest Asphalt is
an experienced contractor that has worked for the City before and has successfully completed
previous contracts.
Construction Timeline:
Construction is tentatively planned to begin in early September and is expected to be completed
by mid-October. The project is expected to be constructed under traffic with no detours for
roadway or trail users. Pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists will be guided through the work
zone during periods of temporary lane closures and construction activities.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION:
This project was not previously planned for nor included in the City’s adopted Capital
Improvement Program (C.I.P.). The project cost, initially estimated at $150,000 can be funded
by a combination of City funds (Development and General Funds), and a contribution from the
Three Rivers Park District. Three Rivers Park District supports this project and has agreed to
fund 50 percent of the project cost up to a limit of $75,000. Participation by Three Rivers Park
District is formally designated in a cooperative agreement, subject to approval by the City
Council as a separate agenda item on August 20.
Based on the low bid received, the projected project costs are as follows:
Expenditures
Construction Cost (Including 5% contingency) $86,466.14
Engineering & Administration $50,000
Total $136,466.15
Funding Sources
City of St. Louis Park $68,233.08
Three Rivers Park District $68,233.07
Total $136,466.15
VISION CONSIDERATION:
The following Strategic Direction and focus area was identified by Council in 2007:
St. Louis Park is committed to being a connected and engaged community.
Focus will be on:
• Promoting regional transportation issues
