100 Best Communities for Young People Award.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
The Mayor is asked to present the community with the 100 Best Communities for Young People
award, which the City of St. Louis Park received on January 24, 2008. This is the third year that the

the award and be photographed with the Mayor and Council.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:

BACKGROUND:
St. Louis Park has been selected for the third-consecutive time as one of the 100 Best Communities
for Young People by America’s Promise, founded by the Ret. General Colin Powell. America’s
Promise Chair Alma Powell and President/CEO Marguerite Kondracke presented Mayor Jeff
Jacobs with the award in Washington D.C. on January 24, 2008.
Devoted to improving the lives of youth, America’s Promise awards communities that have
dedicated time and resources to young people in tangible ways that make a difference. St. Louis Park
was also honored with the award in 2005, the first year for the 100 Best recognition, and again in
2007. The Great Mankato Area and the cities of St. Paul, Landfall and Northfield are also among the
2008 recipients, giving Minnesota five out of the 100 best communities nationwide. The applicant
field this year included more than 300 communities across the country.
Community partners working together to achieve this recognition include St. Louis Park Schools,
Children First, the Meadowbrook Collaborative, St. Louis Park Friends of the Arts, Park Nicollet,
the Jewish Community Center, St. Louis Park Community Foundation, Sunrise and Noon Rotaries,
Benilde St. Margaret's, Torah Academy, the TwinWest Chamber of Commerce, Central Clinic,
Mobius, Inc., Lutheran Church of the Reformation, Citizens Bank, the City of St. Louis Park, Union
Congregational Church, and others. A special note of thanks goes to students Julia Caston, Pierce
Inskeep and Erica Seltzer-Schultz who provided a video testimonial in support of this year’s
application.

1. Future Study Session Agenda Planning
Mr. Harmening and Council discussed study session agenda planning.
2. 2008 Legislative Issues and Priorities
Council and representatives had a discussion on the legislative issues, priorities and their various
concerns.
Mayor Jacobs suggested a discussion on the caps of City Managers’ salaries, stating concern that
putting a cap on good managers may result in other states offering higher salaries. Senator Latz
stated he serves on the Compensation Commission and that they have had extensive discussions and
is in the process of commissioning a study for salary comparisons and compensation for judges,
executive offices, the Governor and legislators. He stated they hope this study will give a sense of
where Minnesota stands relative to the private sector and other government agencies. Senator Latz
stated the Governor recommended an increase in judicial salaries but no increase in other salaries.
Councilmember Paprocki suggested breaking free from State funding cap. Senator Latz stated most
State Legislators feel that Cities need to be regulated by State Law. Commissioner Dorfman
suggested offering other types of benefits to be more competitive.
Councilmember Sanger asked if levy limits would be addressed this session. Representative Simon
stated it is likely to be in the discussions to fill the hole in the deficit.
Councilmember Carver asked about group homes. Senator Latz stated they had been working hard
to address the problem and define the solution, but stated they were having trouble defining the
problem. He stated each group they meet with has a different sense of what regulatory and statutory
changes should be involved and whether Federal or State Law would allow such changes.
Representative Winkler stated the legislature would rather not touch the statutes at this time.
Meeting of February 4, 2008 (Item 3a) Page 2
Subject: Study Session Minutes January 14, 2008
Commissioner Dorfman stated it was hard to come up with a blanket ordinance that works for
everyone. Representative Winkler stated the theory was to delegate it back to the County. Mr.
Harmening asked if it would matter if it was looked at prospectively. Representative Winkler stated
it wouldn’t make a difference.
Councilmember Carver asked if they had talked with people specifically representing sober homes.
Representative Winkler responded there hasn’t been any discussion, stating it was a density issue.
Councilmember Finkelstein stated in St. Louis Park, they’ve found there has been no programming
or supervision on hand, yet they are claiming it is a program. Commissioner Dorfman suggested
dealing with it through possible inspection violations. Mr. Hoffman stated homes in question were
listed as rental property, allowing up to four unrelated adults living in it. Representative Winkler
asked what problems have occurred. Councilmember Carver stated it’s the quality of life type of
issues, such as neighborhood traffic, police calls and the constant turnover.
Councilmember Sanger asked if there had been any action regarding Caring Sisters. Representative
Winkler stated yes, they have just discussed the issue last week. Commissioner Dorfman stated the
County has done visits and close monitoring and were happy with the quality of care the clients were
receiving.
Councilmember Paprocki asked if anything is happening with the group homes. Senator Latz stated
bills were introduced in 2007 for quarter mile spacing, stating they can’t reach a consensus. Ms.
Folliard stated they are uncertain whether it would be a City or legislative issue.
Councilmember Finkelstein asked if they could look at getting additional licenses based on the
health and safety powers for the City for the increased services and inspections required. Mr.
Hoffman stated he could consult the City Attorney. Councilmember Finkelstein suggested looking
at the number of calls for a particular location and possibly increase in license and/or fine fees.
Commissioner Dorfman cautioned to be careful not to burden the good homes unnecessarily.
Representative Winkler stated it would need to be some type of general application. Commissioner
Dorfman suggested looking at some type of contractual agreement. Councilmember Paprocki
suggested looking at home based businesses for any possibilities. Senator Latz stated they could
raise awareness at the legislative level.
Mr. Harmening stated he had spoken with Mn/DOT district representatives to discuss Highway 100,
Highway 7 and Wooddale, and Highway 7 and Louisiana, and their message was they would not be
providing any funding. Mr. Harmening stated because of the funding concerns the City is forced to
look at ways to fund projects. Mr. Harmening suggested requiring Mn/DOT to prioritize their
project spending on those that have Metropolitan Council Surface Transportation Program (STP)
funding. Representative Simon stated they are hoping legislation will be passed this year relating to
those concerns. Mr. Moore stated Senator Murphy was in support of this provision with a stand
alone bill that would give Mn/DOT direction making STP projects a top priority.
Mr. Hoffman and Chief Stemmer relayed their concern with the legislature creating a regulatory
board on building codes. Chief Stemmer expressed concern that fire suppression sprinkler systems
requirements in multi-family homes could be affected. Chief Stemmer stated that St. Louis Park has
been very active with sprinkler system protection and because of that, the City has achieved a high
level of quality protection. Representatives stated they would investigate their concern.

Subject: Study Session Minutes January 14, 2008
3. Reinvestment Assistance Program Policy and Application
Mr. Locke presented the staff report. Mr. Hunt stated they had modified the format and included a
report card.
Councilmember Finkelstein stated he appreciated the amount of work and thought that went into
program. He suggested staff include off-sale liquor stores in the ineligibility section.
Councilmember Finkelstein asked to clarify the significant financial advantage statement. Mr. Locke
stated the goal was to equalize the playing field. Councilmember Finkelstein suggested adding the
qualification requirement (Item H of the Reinvestment Assistance Program Policy Qualifications)
stating “…assistance will not be provided when the redeveloper’s credentials, in the sole judgment
of the City, are inadequate due to past track record” to the TIF applications as well.
Councilmember Sanger suggested clarifying Item A of the qualifications to state “…eliminate blight
“and” nonconforming uses; and correct adverse soil conditions”.
Councilmember Paprocki asked if maps were available for future potential redevelopment. Mr.
Locke stated they have a map of the top 10 which is accessible. Councilmember Paprocki also
suggested allowing points and requirements for public art and green spaces. Mr. Hunt stated the
program is a program for last resort, so it may not be feasible. He further stated that green space
could qualify under two of the qualifications. Councilmember Paprocki asked if there would be any
legal concerns involved in excluding certain usages. Mr. Hunt stated legal council had advised there
would not.
There was Council consensus to move forward and bring back to Council for formal adoption.
4. Redevelopment of the Former Erv’s Property
Mr. Locke presented the staff report. Mr. Hunt advised Council of Ehlers & Associates consultant
report, stating it was their opinion the extension of the TIF district wouldn’t be prudent or
supportable. He further stated in reviewing other existing redevelopment TIF districts, staff
discovered sufficient uncommitted TIF funds in the Victoria Ponds Redevelopment TIF District,
allowing for use of up to 25 percent of excess tax increment for qualified expenses outside of a TIF
district, known as “pooling”.
Councilmember Finkelstein asked if they should look be looking for other “pooling” opportunities
prior to spending EDA funding. Mr. Hunt stated it made sense to use dollars that were
accumulating in existing TIF districts. Mr. Harmening stated that they had been “pooling” funds for
various road construction projects in the past. Councilmember Finkelstein noted that he was
originally opposed to this request, but would be reluctantly going along with it. He further stated
that because a building is tired to somebody it is not necessary tired to everybody, stating the
“pooling” of funds and elimination of billboards would make Highway 7 look neater and more like
desirable urban development.
Council thanked the developer for working with staff and modifying their redevelopment proposal.
There was Council consensus to go forward with the changes recommended by staff.

Mr. Harmening suggested the workshop be held at Jap’s Olson. Council and staff discussed
possible workshop topics. Council agreed with staff’s discussion topics as being consistent with
delivering the Vision recommendations from the community.

1. WiFi
Mr. Harmening presented the staff report.
Mayor Jacobs asked if the project could be salvaged. Mr. Pires stated that saving the project to try
to make it operational would require an additional cost of approximately $3 million.
Councilmember Sanger asked if they could realistically find another contractor to make the system
operational. Mr. Pires stated it would be unlikely that we would get the same performance
guarantees, but stated someone may complete the project under certain conditions.
Councilmember Carver asked what Mr. Pires’ recommendation would be. Mr. Pires stated that
based on the business model and changes; what has been discovered and what yet may be
discovered about ARINC’s network, the City would be best served by its removal.
Councilmember Finkelstein complimented staff for all their hard work and effort in the project.
Mayor Jacobs asked how long it would take to remove the installed equipment and poles. Mr. Pires
stated that would be determined in future negotiation meetings with ARINC.
Councilmember Omodt asked if the fiber optic lines would be removed. Mr. Pires stated it was
installed to support ARINC’s wireless network and at this point, the value would be questionable
from a City standpoint.
Councilmember Sanger agreed reluctantly with Option 1, the removal of all installed equipment and
poles and termination of the contract.
Councilmember Paprocki reminded everyone that they had learned a lot in the past year.
Councilmember Carver also reluctantly agreed with Option 1, stating the project had a good basis at
its start.

Subject: Study Session Minutes January 22, 2008
Councilmember Finkelstein asked what would happen if they couldn’t reach some sort of agreement
with ARINC. Mr. Harmening stated that would be discussed at a future meeting if necessary.
Councilmember Finkelstein asked about the original Pilot Program. Mr. Pires stated it still worked
and staff would be looking at options.
Councilmember Basill suggested staff provide communication to the residents on what is happening
with the system.
There was Council consensus to have staff and legal counsel undertake negotiations with ARINC,
which would provide for the removal of all installed equipment and poles and termination of the
contract. This reflects Option 1 of the staff report.
The meeting adjourned at 8:10 p.m.

TITLE:
2008 Liquor License Renewals.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to approve Resolution for 2008 Liquor License Renewals for the license year term of March
1, 2008 through March 1, 2009.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
Does Council wish to approve renewal of liquor licenses for the next year’s term?
BACKGROUND:
Renewal applications, liquor liability insurance certificates and license fees have been received from
39 of the 41 liquor licensed establishments. Two of the liquor license establishments are in the
process of new ownership to take place March 1, 2008. These two establishments are Applebee’s
Restaurants North, LLC, dba Applebee’s Neighborhood Grill & Bar located at 8332 Highway 7, and
SLP Foods, LLC dba Fuddruckers located at 6445 Wayzata Blvd. Both of the two new licensees
are applying for on-sale intoxicating liquor license with Sunday sales and are scheduled for public
hearing and City Council approval on February 19, 2008.
In 2007 there were 44 liquor license establishments. As of January 1, 2008, two off-sale liquor
establishments have closed their businesses: Napa Jacks, 4200 Minnetonka Blvd. and Vino 100,
5601 Wayzata Blvd. One other wine/3.2 license establishment, Chin's Asia Fresh, 8332 Highway 7,
became Leeann Chin who does not sell liquor. Brix Restautant, 4656 Excelsior Blvd, (licensee
Collins Restaurant) has closed as of January 22; and recently changed their business name to
Loredo’s Restaurant which is scheduled to open in mid March 2008.
As required in City Code Section 3-70 (7) (e) of the City Code of Ordinances, all property tax
payments for establishments are current.
As required in Section 3-70 (g) (6) of the City Code of Ordinances, no on-sale intoxicating liquor
license shall be issued unless at least 50% of the gross receipts of the establishment will be
attributable to the sale of food. Texa-Tonka Lanes was put on probation in 2007 to meet the
food/liquor sales percentage requirement. In September 2007, they reported gross receipts for food
at 47.47% and gross receipts for the sale of alcohol at 52.58%. Since then, Manager Jeff Kristal has
worked hard to increase food sales by hiring a new kitchen manager, adding more items to their
menu, having more bowling party buffets, food specials, and holiday events. Their business was also
affected during the summer months of 2007 by the construction on Minnetonka Boulevard. As of
January 2008, total percentages reported for the entire 2007 year were 49.45% food gross receipts
and 50.55% alcohol gross receipts. Food sales have increased in the past three months by almost
2%. Staff will stay in communication with Texa-Tonka Lanes and continue monitoring their
food/liquor sales compliance by requesting a mid year report in September 2008. The attached
resolution contains a clause which indicates Texa-Tonka Lanes is on a probationary status and that a
mid-year report will be required.

TITLE:
Resolution supporting application to the Minnesota Housing and Finance Agency (Mn Housing) for
assistance in funding a pilot green remodeling program.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to approve Resolution supporting grant application to Mn Housing for assistance in funding
a pilot green remodeling program.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
Does Council desire staff to attempt to access these funds to assist in implementing a pilot green
remodeling program?
BACKGROUND:
This resolution is a required component of a grant application to Mn Housing for assistance with a
green remodeling program. The approximate amount of the grant request is $52,000. Staff will be
updating Council at its February 25th meeting with specifics regarding the pilot Green Remodeling
program, a duplex conversion project, and the annual housing report.
The green remodeling pilot will be based on the new Minnesota GreenStar Remodeling program
which is a local effort between the MN Pollution Control Agency, Builders Association of the Twin
Cities, the MN Chapter of the National Association of the Remodeling Industry and the non profit
Green Institute. The program is based on building standards that take into consideration
Minnesota’s climate concerns, building codes and material, energy and natural resources. It is the
only residential green remodeling certification program developed in Minnesota. The statewide
program is expected to begin implementation in Feb/March, and the city’s pilot program would
begin shortly after.
The grant application is due February 14, with Mn Housing selections to be decided by the end of
April.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION:
The city’s 2008 budget includes $50,000 for a green remodeling program to be funded through the
Housing Rehabilitation Fund. The Mn Housing grant funds would leverage the city funds and
private investment of residents along with a possible grant between the Mn Pollution Control
Agency and the Center for Energy & Environment.
Meeting of February 4, 2008 (Item No. 4b) Page 2
Subject: Resolution Supporting Grant Application to Mn Housing
VISION CONSIDERATION:
One of the Strategic Directions states that “St. Louis Park is committed to being a leader in
environmental stewardship.” This program addresses the strategic directions to educate the public
on environmental consciousness, stewardship and best practices and well as works in the area of
rehab loan program, to encourage and provide incentives for green building design. It also
addresses the housing vision areas of remodeling and expanding move-up, single family owner
occupied homes, and ensuring property maintenance to foster quality housing.

TITLE:
5353 Wayzata Boulevard (Hilton Homewood Suites) Plat Time Extension.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to approve a six month extension for the filing of the final plat titled “Hilton Homewood
Suites.”
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
None.
BACKGROUND:
Torgerson Properties received approval of the final plat of “Hilton Homewood Suites” on August
20, 2007. The deadline for filing the plat, associated with the construction of a seven-story 125-
room hotel, is February 20, 2008. The developer has requested a six month time extension to file
the plat.
It remains the developer’s intent to begin construction on the project in the spring of 2008.
However, because of complications related to the title and the transaction between the developer
and the property owner, a time extension has become necessary.
The six month extension will expire August 20, 2008. Because the plat must be filed prior to the
issuance of a building permit, it is expected that the plat will be filed well in advance of that date.

TITLE:
City Attorney Fee Increase.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to amend Professional Services Agreement with Campbell Knutson to increase rates paid
from $140 to $145 per hour for city attorney services and to increase rates from $70 to $75 per
hours for law clerk/paralegal services.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
None.
BACKGROUND:
The attorneys of Campbell Knutson have served the City since 1996. The firm has requested a
$5/hour increase in rates for attorney services from $140/hour to $145/hour and a $5/hour
increase for law clerks and paralegals. Listed below is a summary of rates over the past several years:
Year
Attorney
Law Clerks/
Paralegals
2008 Proposed $145/hr $75/hr
2007 $140/hr $70/hr
2005 & 2006 $135/hr $70/hr
2003 & 2004 $130/hr $70/hr
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION:
The 2008 budget will be able to fund this increase. Staff surveyed comparable metro area cities and
have found that that the proposed hourly increase for the attorney is consistent with fees for such
services for attorneys ($95-$207/hr.) and law clerks/paralegals ($70-$110/hr.)

Asche from Community Development to discuss working with community education on
another film series. They have more resources including a mailing to all City residents. The film
series was very educational. Publicity for spring movies needs to be done soon, so they are

Ms. Olson stated she and Commissioners Taylor and Abdi talked with Karla Buchman about
connecting with the St. Louis Park Latino community. She was unsure of a contact and advised

are fearful. Her organization offers a lot of resources to the Metro area.

TITLE:
Second Reading of Zoning Ordinance Amendments Relating to Pawnshops.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to adopt Second Reading of an Ordinance amending the Zoning Ordinance to require
conditional use permits for pawnshops.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
Does the City Council wish to amend the city’s zoning ordinance to make pawnshops a conditional
use and establish certain conditions for location and design of pawnshops?
BACKGROUND:
On October 26, 2007, an Interim Ordinance went into effect temporarily prohibiting pawnshops in
St. Louis Park. The purpose of the interim ordinance was to provide time to study pawnshop issues
and review the city’s zoning ordinance provisions regarding pawnshops. City Planning Staff was
directed to conduct studies for the purpose of consideration of possible amendments to the City’s
official controls to address the issues concerning pawnshops. Amendments to the Zoning Ordinance
were recommended.
A first reading of the proposed Ordinance was held on January 7, 2008. This ordinance includes a CUP
process for pawnshops which allows the applicant’s proposal to be reviewed in the context of the
specific proposed site. It allows the City to “consider the effect of the proposed use on the
comprehensive plan and on the character and development of the neighborhood.” It allows the City
to place additional appropriate conditions and safeguards upon the proposed use to ensure the
community is protected from any potential negative impacts from the proposed use.
Since the first reading some minor modifications have been made to the proposed ordinance. Most
notable is a new section describing the purpose for the ordinance and a clarification of the definition
of Pawn Shops. The change makes it clear a pawn shop is a facility where all or any part of the
pawnshop activities are conducted..
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION:
None.
VISION CONSIDERATION:
The proposed amendments are consistent with the community vision. The amendments will
strengthen the community and help us be a safe, aesthetically pleasing community with quality
gathering places and well maintained housing.

ORDINANCE NO. _____-08
AN ORDINANCE RELATING TO PAWNSHOPS,
AMENDING CHAPTER 36 OF THE
ST. LOUIS PARK CODE OF ORDINANCES
THE CITY OF ST. LOUIS PARK DOES ORDAIN:
Section 1. Purpose. The purpose of this Ordinance is to address issues relating to
the appropriate locations of pawnshops in the City in order to protect and enhance residential areas
and commercial areas located adjacent to residences. The City Council has determined that a
reasonable approach is to both separate pawnshops from residential areas and to avoid the
concentration of pawnshops, currency exchanges, payday loan agencies, gun shops, liquor stores,
and sexually-oriented businesses in commercial areas abutting residential districts. This Ordinance
will allow pawnshops either alone or in combination with other uses, in larger commercial areas
located away from residential districts. It will also avoid the concentration of pawnshops and the
other listed businesses.
Section 2. Subsection 36-194(b)(17) of the St. Louis Park Code of Ordinances
designating pawnshops as a permitted use in the C-2 general commercial district is deleted in its
entirety.
Section 3. Section 36-194 of the St. Louis Park Code of Ordinances is amended by
adding the following subsection designating pawnshops as a use permitted by conditional use permit
in the C-2 general commercial district:
(d)(15) Pawnshops. The conditions are as follows:
a. The lot must be at least 1,000 feet from the property line of a site containing
another pawnshop, currency exchange, payday loan agency, gun shop, liquor
store or sexually-oriented business. In the case of a shopping center or multi-use
building, the distance shall be measured from the portion of the center or
building occupied by the pawnshop.
b. The pawnshop use shall not operate in conjunction with a sexually-oriented
business.
c. The lot shall be located a minimum of 350 feet from any parcel that is zoned
residential, or has an educational (academic) use, religious institution, park,
library or community center. In the case of a shopping center or multi-use
building, the distance shall be measured from the portion of the center or
building occupied by the pawnshop.
d. Access shall be to a roadway identified in the comprehensive plan as a collector
or arterial. Access to and from local residential streets is prohibited.
e. In-vehicle sales or service are prohibited.
f. Fire arm transactions are prohibited.
g. The use shall be contained within a completely enclosed building, and no outside
storage, display, or sale of merchandise is permitted.
h. Exterior loudspeakers or public address systems are prohibited.
Meeting of February 4, 2008 (Item No. 8a) Page 3
Subject: Second Reading of Zoning Ordinance Amendments Relating to Pawnshops
i. Visibility into the store shall be maintained by utilizing clear, transparent glass on
all windows and doors, and by keeping all windows free of obstructions for at
least three feet into the store. Product may be displayed for sale in the window
as long as the display, including signage, does not occupy more than 30 percent
of the window area.
j. Interior and exterior bars, grills, mesh or similar obstructions, whether
permanently or temporarily affixed, shall not cover any exterior door or more
than ten percent of any individual window or contiguous window area.
k. Neon accents and back-lighted awnings shall be prohibited.
l. Parking space requirements shall be determined pursuant to Section 36-361(c)
(1). If a pawnshop is combined with another use such as a currency exchange or
payday loan agency, each use shall be considered a separate use for purposes of
determining minimum parking requirements.
Section 4. Section 36-142(22) is amended to read in its entirety as follows:
Pawnshop means a facility where money is loaned based on the value of goods
deposited at the facility by the borrower of the money, which goods are held by the
lender of the money occupying the facility as collateral for the loan. Items held by
the lender which are not redeemed by a borrower may be put up for sale at the
facility to the general public. The term pawnshop includes a facility where all or any
part of the pawnshop activities are conducted.
Section 5. Section 36-142 of the St. Louis Park Code of Ordinances is amended by
adding the following subsections:
Currency exchange means any business or person except a bank, trust company, savings
bank, savings and loan association, credit union, or industrial loan and thrift company that is
engaged in the business of cashing checks, drafts, money orders, or traveler’s checks for a
fee.
Payday loan agency means any business that has as its primary activity the providing of
short-term loans for the borrower’s own personal, family, or household purpose which are
usually for a period of forty-five (45) days or less. Payday loan agencies do not include
banks.
Section 6. Separability. Every section, provision or part of this Ordinance is declared
separable from every other section, provision or part of this Ordinance. If any section, provision or
part of this Ordinance is adjudged to be invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such judgment
shall not invalidate any other section, provision or part of this Ordinance.
