Mr. Morrison presented the staff report.
Hadley Kohn, 8724 Minnetonka Blvd. stated he is representing his elderly parents who were
concerned with the noise, requesting that the existing trees remain to alleviate sound and
allow for privacy. He further asked that the existing fence remain and stated concern with
traffic with the addition of another driveway, supporting only three houses versus the four
requested houses.
Councilmember Omodt asked if the trees slated to be removed and if so, were they subject
to the tree replacement plan. Mr. Morrison stated they were subject to tree placement;
however staff does not have a plan in place yet because it would depend on the house
placement.
Councilmember Paprocki asked if the City had any control with tree placement. Mr.
Morrison stated not really, they could simply make suggestions.
Councilmember Omodt asked if the developer had any room for allowable adjustments.
Mr. Peter Knaeble, Terra Engineering/applicant, stated they estimate four or five trees would
need to be removed. He went on to state that he could not guarantee anything, as it would
depend upon the builder’s house plan. Mr. Knaeble stated they did change the back setback
in order to save those trees.
Meeting of April 28, 2008 (Item 3a) Page 4
Subject: City Council Minutes April 7, 2008
Councilmember Sanger stated she was against the entire proposal because she would not
support the demolition of the oldest house and only remaining barn in St. Louis Park. She
felt it was important to retain the structures to preserve the historical continuity of
community. Councilmember Sanger stated she did tour the house and grounds and was
informed by Mr. Knaeble if somebody wanted to buy the house and/or barn he would
attempt to accommodate them. Councilmember Sanger stated this would be an example of
what St. Louis Park was like. She further stated that she was in agreement with staff to deny
the variance request for the elimination of the sidewalk.
Councilmember Paprocki asked a rough timeframe for interested parties to contact Mr.
Knaeble. Mr. Morrison stated if the plat was approved today as is, it would require the
removal all three structures, but roughly a couple of months. Councilmember Paprocki
asked what the construction noise policy was. Mr. Morrison stated 7 a.m. – 10 p.m. and
later on weekends. Councilmember Paprocki stated they could encourage the builder to
plant more trees, but they could not require them to do so. He further stated he felt this
project was a good opportunity for move-up housing.
Councilmember Finkelstein asked if the white fence was going to be removed. Mr. Knaeble
stated he would not remove it and that it would be up to the builder. Mr. Knaeble further
stated it is their best intentions to keep as many trees as possible, as well as the fence. He also
stated that they were open to restricting construction operation to between the hours of 9
a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday through Saturday.
Councilmember Basill asked Mr. Knaeble if he were willing to replace the trees removed
with more mature trees, suggesting a certain diameter to provide more of a buffer. Mr.
Knaeble stated he was agreeable with the City’s requirement, focusing replacement on the
west side of the lot. Councilmember Basill asked if there was any way to add a requirement
in the motion requirement. Mr. Morrison stated he was uncertain until the building permit
came through. Mr. Harmening suggested adding a condition when the final plat approval
request was presented. Ms. McMonigal suggested stating to replace the screening on the
west side of the property to an equivalent screening. Mr. Scott suggested adding any
additional language at this time. Mayor Jacobs expressed this wasn’t the time to establish
variance details and that it should be brought back at its appropriate time.
Councilmember Omodt asked about the historical preservation of the buildings. Mr.
Knaeble stated they were open to suggestions and they were currently actively marketing to
keep the house in place. Councilmember Omodt asked if he was open to preserving parts of
it rather than demolishing them. Mr. Knaeble stated he was very open to the idea and had
invited the St. Louis Park Historical Society to visit the property. Councilmember Sanger
stated the house had a lot of potential.
Councilmember Carver wanted to clarify that if the proposal went through, the likeliness of
a builder saving the fence would be slim. He suggested Mr. Knaeble take into light the
neighbor’s concerns. Councilmember Carver also stated he has a proponent of move-up
Meeting of April 28, 2008 (Item 3a) Page 5
Subject: City Council Minutes April 7, 2008
housing, stating it was a shame that trees could be saved at the back of the lot, but not on the
side. He further stated he was torn on which way to vote, since voting for the proposal
would likely be the demise of the trees.
Councilmember Finkelstein stated he was in support of the proposal, as it would be a great
opportunity for move-up housing. He also suggested that Mr. Knaeble take Councilmember
Carver’s advice, stating that good developers make good neighbors. Councilmember
Finkelstein further stated by adding the conditions of operation and sidewalk, he would be
supporting it.
Councilmember Basill asked if once the variance was approved, would Council have the
ability to make buffer requirements. Mr. Scott suggested making those requirements now,
stating they may not have any additional information once a final plat was presented, unless
a builder was already in place with plans.
It was moved by Councilmember Paprocki, seconded by Councilmember Basill, to adopt
Resolution No. 08-050, approving the preliminary plat of Isabelle Estates with a lot width
variance to allow a reduction in the amount of the lot that must meet the 75 foot minimum
width; restricting work operation to the hours of 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday through Saturday;
priority requirement that replacement of trees focus on providing screening on western
border.
The motion passed 5-2. Councilmember Carver and Sanger opposed.
It was moved by Councilmember Omodt, seconded by Councilmember Paprocki, to adopt
Resolution No. 08-051, denying a variance request for elimination of the requirement to
install a sidewalk along Aquila Avenue.
The motion passed 7-0.
8b. Project Report: 2008 MSA Street Improvement Project #2007-1100.
Resolution No. 08-052
Mr. Olson presented the staff report.
Councilmember Sanger asked if the work on 16th Street would be coordinated with the Park
Place redo and when that would be done. She also asked if they would need to close the
road to traffic or if traffic would be rotated while working on it. Mr. Olson stated the work
on 16th Street would likely occur in the spring 2009 and during the work it would be
constructed under traffic.
Councilmember Omodt asked why the construction would be during Rec Center peak hour
and why the City wouldn’t wait until the pool closes at the end of the season. Mr. Olson
stated the construction timing, stating contractor’s workload at the end of the season is at its
peak and may impact pricing. He further stated that Park and Rec requested construction
begin after Parktacular.
Meeting of April 28, 2008 (Item 3a) Page 6
Subject: City Council Minutes April 7, 2008
Councilmember Finkelstein asked if a right turn lane would be added at the corner of Park
Center Blvd and Monterrey Avenue. Mr. Olson stated he was unaware of any right hand
turn lane.
Councilmember Basill stated he would advise the neighborhood groups at the Elmwood and
Creekside meetings later this week.
It was moved by Councilmember Basill, seconded by Councilmember Omodt, to adopt
Resolution No.08-052, accepting this report, establishing and ordering Improvement Project
No. 2007-1100, approving plans and specifications, and authorizing advertisement for bids.

accurately reflect the scope of the services provided by the Finance Department.
Over the years, many positive changes have occurred which have strengthened the relationship.
The City and Housing Authority are working on new initiatives to enhance financial reporting
and internal controls. We have worked together to develop a two year agreement for the City to
continue to provide financial services to the Housing Authority. Through this joint effort, the
efficient and cost effective procurement of financial services maximizes the resources that are
available to provide quality housing for the residents of St. Louis Park.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION:
The proposed fee for the City to provide financial services to the Housing Authority is $46,911
for the period of April 1, 2008 to March 31, 2009 (FY 2009) and $48,318 for the period of April
1, 2009 to March 31, 2010 (FY 2010). Fiscal Year 2009 reflects a 0% increase based on
Housing Authority staff performing more preliminary financial steps. Fiscal Year 2010 reflects
an increase of 3% due to anticipated salary increases.

Approve consulting services for Water Project - Recoat Elevated Water Tower No. 4, 2541 Nevada
Avenue - Project 2007-1500.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to authorize execution of a contract with KLM Engineering Inc. (KLM) for engineering services
related to Water Project – EWT #4 – Project 2007-1500.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
Not Applicable.
BACKGROUND:
The current 5-year CIP includes Project 2007-1500, which is the rehabilitation of Elevated Water Tower
No. 4 (EWT #4) located at 2541 Nevada Avenue S.
In 1955, the City constructed EWT #4. This 1 million gallon riveted double ellipsoid tower is now
more than 50+ years old and in need of rehabilitation.
In 2007, the City hired KLM to conduct a complete inspection of both the exterior and interior of the
tower. The inspection showed that some structural modifications and repairs are required for both the
exterior and interior to bring the EWT #4 into compliance with OSHA regulations, American Water
Works Association (AWWA) standards, allow for safer access in and on the tank and, in some cases,
removing unnecessary items. The inspection also showed that the exterior coating is now failing and is
no longer providing adequate protection against corrosion. The exterior coating of steel water storage
towers has a life expectancy of 15 to 20 years; this tower was last coated in 1986. The interior inspection
revealed the tank requires a complete new interior coating. The age of the existing interior coal tar epoxy
coating is approximately 30+ years old, with spot repairs last done in 1991. Today’s protective coating
systems are designed to last 15-20 years.
Another key component of the project will be the coordination with the four (4) telecommunication
companies with antennas and related equipment on the tower. The antennas and related equipment will
need to be removed and replaced or protected in-place during the tower rehabilitation. These
telecommunication related engineering costs will be included in KLM’s contract and charged back by the
City to the respective telecommunication companies.
The engineering services that are needed for this project include the following: design services,
preparation of construction plans and specifications, construction management and inspection services,
and provide telecommunication facilities coordination and plan review.

Approve Consulting Services for Surface Water Management Planning.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
Motion to authorize execution of a contract with BARR Engineering Company for engineering
services related to the development of a new Surface Water Management Plan for the City
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
Does the City Council wish to allow staff to retain professional services to develop a Surface Water
Management Plan as required by law?
BACKGROUND:
In 2001, the City adopted a Comprehensive Water Resources Management Plan. This plan was
developed to meet watershed management planning requirements of the Metropolitan Surface
Water Management Act. It was also developed to be in conformance with the requirements of local
watershed management organizations, Hennepin County programs, Metropolitan Council
requirements, Hennepin Conservation District guidelines and applicable State and Federal laws.
Cities are required to update their surface water management plans within 2 years of the date that a
watershed management organization within the city adopts a new surface water management plan.
The Bassett Creek Watershed Management Commission completed its Second Generation
Watershed Management Plan in September 2004. At that time, the Minnehaha Creek Watershed
District was working on its Comprehensive Water Resource Management Plan, which they
eventually adopted in July 2007. Now that both watershed management organizations have
completed their plans, the City is now ready to revise its plan to meet the new requirements as
required by the State.
An updated Surface Water Management Plan is a required element of the Comprehensive Plan
update. It is also an important element of the city’s land use and development planning, especially
with regards to future redevelopment efforts.
Staff received proposals from three (3) qualified firms to provide professional services for updating
our plan. After a thorough review of the proposals, Public Works and Community Development
staffs are recommending that BARR Engineering Company (BARR) be utilized to provide these
services. Barr’s proposal provides for drafting the revised surface water management plan, bringing
the plan through the review and approval process with all applicable agencies, and then finalizing the
plan and providing documentation.
Meeting of April 28, 2008 (Item No. 4d) Page 2
Subject: Approve Consulting Services for Surface Water Management Planning
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION:
The fee for the services proposed to be provided by BARR is $79,900. This will be paid from the

Comprehensive Plan
VISION CONSIDERATION:
Revision of the Surface Water Management Plan will consider and accomplish the following Vision-
related goal:
Environment: Will continue promote good stewardship of the City’s water resources.

Amend Consultant Contract 134-07 – Street Project: Park Place Boulevard Reconstruction - Project
No. 2007-1101.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to Approve Amendment No. 2 to Contract 134-07 which provides additional engineering
consulting services for design of the Park Place Boulevard Reconstruction Project – Project No.
2007-1101.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
None.
BACKGROUND:
History and Recent Activities
On November 5, 2007, the City Council authorized approval of a contract with SRF Consulting
Group, Inc. (SRF) to provide design services for the reconstruction of Park Place Boulevard from
Cedar Lake Road to Wayzata Boulevard. The contract was subsequently amended on January 7,
2008 as a result of additional services required to assist in preparing plans and specifications for the
roadway. The additional services at that time essentially included additional time and effort needed
to alter street elevations and grades to better match the West End Development plans which were
being further refined at the time. This also required adjustments to the existing underground
utilities such as sanitary sewer, water, and storm sewer.
SRF has rapidly moved ahead toward completion of the plans and specifications in order to
accommodate the Developer’s desired schedule for opening of the West End Development in the fall
of 2009. This has therefore accelerated the public process that the City follows for projects of this
nature. Since January, several meetings and communications with many stakeholders have occurred,
including Duke Construction, neighboring property owners, the Minnehaha Creek Watershed,
Mn/DOT, Metro Transit, the cities of St. Louis Park and Golden Valley, surrounding businesses
and residents, and others. As a result of the amount of input and requests received in a relatively
short time frame, SRF has needed to expend additional hours to meet the project schedule. This has
also included additional work tasks not anticipated when the original contract was developed.
Generally, the additional time and work tasks requested as part of this Amendment No. 2 can be
summarized as follows:
Meeting of April 28, 2008 (Item No. 4e) Page 2
Subject: Amend Consultant Contract 134-07 – Park Place Boulevard - Project No. 2007-1101
Additional Professional Services
A. Additional Meetings and Requests of Other Agencies:
1. Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) - Because Park Place
Boulevard intersects with Wayzata Boulevard and the I-394 ramps; Mn/DOT has
requested additional traffic modeling and analysis. They have also required the
preparation of an Intersection Control Evaluation (ICE), which essentially
documents that traffic and safety for a particular intersection has been adequately
addressed. Mn/DOT has also provided review and comment on the plans
themselves, and SRF is addressing those comments on behalf of the City.
2. Metro Transit – SRF, the City, and Duke Construction have all been working
extensively with Metro Transit to address transit needs for both the West End
Development and Park Place Boulevard. This not only includes meeting the future
transit needs for Park Place Boulevard and the West End Development itself, but
also for temporary transit detour routing and accommodations of existing routes
while construction of Park Place Boulevard is occurring.
3. Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD) – The Minnehaha Creek
Watershed District has taken a special interest in the West End Development site by
working with the Developer to progressively implement newer green and
environmentally friendly features with regards to stormwater management and water
quality. These initiatives have also been carried over to Park Place Boulevard, but to
a lesser extent because of the limited space and right of way available. Nevertheless,
this has resulted in additional time and design coordination efforts with MCWD.
B. Easements and Additional Meetings With Property Owners
The Park Place Boulevard Roadway and Streetscape project does require the acquisition
of both permanent and temporary easements from most properties within the corridor.
The extent of the easements needed was not known until actual design of the
improvements could be completed to a sufficient stage. Thus, the City and SRF have
both been engaged in continuous meetings with abutting property owners. For example
at Doubletree Hotel, the new roadway and trail construction will result in some lost
parking for the hotel. We have therefore been assisting them to mitigate the losses by
working to make adjustments to the parking lot as part of the plans. As a result of the
extensive amount of private property impacts, SRF has also prepared easement legal
descriptions and exhibits to assist the City in the development of appropriate documents.
These services were not included within their original scope.
Meeting of April 28, 2008 (Item No. 4e) Page 3
Subject: Amend Consultant Contract 134-07 – Park Place Boulevard - Project No. 2007-1101
C. Additional Work Added to Project
The City’s Capital Improvement Plan (C.I.P.) included a mill and overlay for 16th Street
from Park Place Boulevard to Zarthan Avenue. It has been determined that from a
timing, coordination, and cost effectiveness standpoint, it would be more appropriate to
include this work as part of the Park Place Boulevard reconstruction package. The 16th
Street work also involves replacements of the traffic loop detectors and modifications to
the traffic signage and pavement markings. This additional work has therefore incurred
additional time for SRF.
Despite the additional work required to complete the Park Place Boulevard Design, the project
schedule does remain on track to provide for a bid letting that will allow for construction to
commence as early as mid-June of this year.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION:
Estimated Contract Cost
A letter of amendment from SRF dated April 17, 2008 estimates the cost for this additional work at
$55,868. All work performed under this contract is paid for on a time and materials basis. The
source of funding for this work/project, as identified in the City’s five year CIP, will come from
Developer, Tax Increment, and Municipal State Aid funds.
The professional services cost for Contract 134-07 with SRF is now estimated as follows:
Original Contract $215,038
Amendment No. 1 $ 34,883
Amendment No. 2 $ 55,868
Total $305,789
Professional services approved under this contract are for design services for the roadway and trail.
Design of the streetscape amenities is being performed under a separate contract. It is expected that
upon advertisement and opening of bids for construction, authorization for a separate contract for
construction services will be requested.
Contract Terms
Contract terms remain unchanged except as follows:
1. Scope is amended to include the additional engineering services outlined in the SRF proposal
dated April 17, 2008.
2. Compensation is based on actual work performed with a maximum contract amount of
$305,789.
The document utilized for this contract is the City’s standard professional services agreement

Amend Consultant Contract 89-06 CSAH 25 Ped Bridge Project - Project 2005-2100.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to Approve Amendment No. 2 to Contract 89-06 providing additional engineering services
for the CSAH 25 Ped Bridge Project, Project No. 2005-2100.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
Not Applicable.
BACKGROUND:
History and Recent Activities
The City Council approved a contract on May 1, 2006 with TKDA in the amount of $187,700 for
design and construction services related to the CSAH 25 Pedestrian/Bicycle Bridge and connecting
trails. On September 17, 2007, Amendment No. 1 to the contract was approved by Council
increasing the contract amount by $20,300 to cover additional services not covered in the original
contract.
Construction was completed late last fall and the bridge was opened to the public. Some
miscellaneous restoration and touch-up work remains to be completed before final payment to the
contractor can be made. This work is expected to be completed in late May to early June.
Additional Professional Services
TKDA has notified the City they expect to exceed their authorized contract amount prior to
completion of the project and staff is therefore requesting Council approve an increase in the
contract to provide for project oversight through project completion. This additional cost is related
to the number of hours the TKDA field inspector and project manager have expended and will need
to expend to finalize project activities. This is due primarily to the amount of time (working days)
that the Contractor used to construct the bridge. The Contractor exceeded the number of working
days specified in the contract in completing the project, thus increasing TKDA’s time on the project.
The Contractor may be assessed liquidated damages as a result of the increased construction time –
this is currently being discussed and evaluated by TKDA and staff.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION:
Estimated Contract Cost
TKDA estimates the cost for this additional work at $19,000. All work performed under this
contract is paid for on a time and materials basis.

TITLE:
Amend Consultant Contract No. 77-07 West End Development Project.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to approve Amendment No. 1 to Contract No. 77-07 providing additional engineering
services for the West End Development Project.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
Not Applicable.
BACKGROUND:
History and Recent Activities
On June 27, 2007, an agreement for professional services was entered into by the City and TKDA.
The purpose of the agreement was to provide plan review assistance to the City for the public
infrastructure portion of the West End Development project. This generally entails streets and
utilities for the 16th Street extension (Park Place Boulevard to Utica Avenue), Utica Avenue
(Wayzata Boulevard to Gamble Drive), overall site drainage and stormwater management, and other
portions of the West End site where public utilities will ultimately be constructed. The contract
amount of these services per the agreement was $3,500.
Additional Services
Construction of at least some of these improvements (Phase 1A - retail) is now underway by Duke
Construction. Construction coordination, management, and observation of the public
infrastructure improvements require significant additional time and effort by staff, and the
Developer is proceeding on a very fast track. More notably, during the actual construction of the
utilities and the streets themselves, nearly a full time presence on the City’s part is needed to assure
that the improvements are completed in a satisfactory manner, and that the developer’s contractor is
receiving the responsiveness required of the City while navigating through the process. There are not
sufficient staff resources in the Engineering Division to provide this oversight and at the same time
oversee other capital projects being undertaken this year. As a result, additional services from TKDA
are being requested at this time to meet these additional needs.
TKDA has provided a Supplemental Agreement letter dated March 28, 2008 that details the services
they will be providing on the City’s behalf. These services include the following:
1. Provide a Resident Project Representative at the site to assist the City and to provide more
continuous observation of the Contractor’s work. This will include attending pre-
construction and weekly construction meetings at the site.
Meeting of April 28, 2008 (Item No. 4g) Page 2
Subject: Amend Contract 77-07 West End Development Project
2. Serve as liaison with the Contractor, working principally through the Developer’s field
representative and Contractor’s Superintendent.
3. Provide additional plan reviews as required, including change orders and review of record
drawings submitted by the Developer. It is also expected that revised infrastructure plans
may soon be submitted for the office (east) portion of the West End Project, including Utica
Avenue which will require additional review services.
In summary, the engineering plan review and construction services to be provided by TKDA would
cover streets and utilities for the complete West End Development. This includes the Phase 1A
portion now under construction, and the eventual infrastructure improvements for the office (east)
portion of the Wet End site. Streetscape amenities are being covered by a separate agreement with
the Developer.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION:
Estimated Contract Cost
The letter of amendment from TKDA dated March 28, 2008 estimates the cost for this additional
work at $60,000. All work performed under this contract is paid for on a time and materials basis.
This amount will be paid by the Developer in accordance with the terms of the Development
Agreement.
The professional services cost for Contract 77-07 with TKDA is now estimated as follows:
Original Contract $3,500
Amendment No. 1 $60,000
Total $63,500
Because the agreement is intended to cover the entire West End site through completion of all
public improvements, it is expected that TKDA’s services will be utilized on an “as-needed” basis as
phases and specific stages of construction arise. The termination date for TKDA’s services is
therefore proposed at this time to be January 1, 2010 to cover at least two construction seasons.
Contract Terms
Contract terms remain unchanged except as follows:
1. Scope is amended to include the additional engineering services outlined in the TKDA
proposal dated March 28, 2008
2. All services shall be completed by January 1, 2010
3. Compensation is based on actual work performed with a maximum contract amount of
$63,500
The document utilized for this contract is the City’s standard professional services agreement
developed by the City Attorney.

Resolution Modifying Letter of Credit – 2007 Park Nicollet Bonds.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to Adopt Resolution authorizing the execution and delivery of Amended and Restated Bond
Trust Indentures, Amended and Restated Loan Agreements, and other documents related to the
delivery of a new liquidity facility and additional credit enhancement in connection with the City’s
Health Care Facilities Revenue Refunding Bonds (Park Nicollet Health Services) Series 2007A and
Health Care Facilities Revenue Bonds (Park Nicollet Health Services), Series 2007B.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
None.
BACKGROUND:
Park Nicollet asked the City to issue tax-exempt revenue bonds in 2007. Repayment of these bonds
is solely the responsibility of Park Nicollet Health Systems and the city has no liability if Park
Nicollet is unable to repay the money. In order to get the lowest interest rate, the bonds were
insured to get an AAA rating through a company called Ambac. Because of concerns related to the
subprime mortgage crisis and Collateralized Debt Obligation (CDO) issues, Ambac’s AAA rating is
in jeopardy.
This resolution, prepared by the City’s bond counsel Kennedy & Graven, is designed to address the
changes in the bond market’s confidence in Ambac. Because the bonds issued for Park Nicollet are
variable rate demand notes (VRDN’s) they are auctioned many times per year. The note holders bid
interest rates that they are willing to pay for each block of bonds. Because these notes are only held
for a short period of time, the interest rates are at the bottom of the yield curve which generally saves
Park Nicollet money rather than having to pay interest rates based on a 30 year maturity.
When Ambac’s troubles surfaced, Park Nicollet suffered a period where no buyers bid on their
variable rate debt instruments. This caused the bond interest rate to automatically go to a default
level of 15%. While this did not last for long, this event was exceedingly costly for Park Nicollet,
without any change in their underlying credit status. By having a letter of credit issued by Wells
Fargo, Park Nicollet bidders should have confidence in their AAA status for any future auctions thus
avoiding the specter of no bidders and default interest rates.

The City has a policy regarding the private use of public land. The proposal complies with the this
policy.
BACKGROUND:
BFW and Associates, LLC, owns the site at 7525 Wayzata Boulevard. This site used to house an Embers
Restaurant, and has been redeveloped into an office building. The applicant is requesting permission to
place a small retaining wall in the drainage and utility easement on the west side of the property. There is
a significant grade change in that area and the retaining wall is necessary in order to meet the dimensional
requirements for the parking lot. The City’s Land Use Policy allows this type of private use of public land
with an encroachment agreement. This encroachment agreement, drafted by the City Attorney, releases
the City from any liability and allows the City to terminate the agreement at any time with 30 days notice.
Staff has reviewed the application and site plan and finds that there is no conflicting use of this easement.
The distance between the proposed retaining wall and the property line of 7525 Wayzata Boulevard is
approximately 6 feet, and there is still another 15 feet to the curb line of Pennsylvania Avenue.
VISION CONSIDERATION:
None.

A. Proposed Modification to the Victoria Ponds TIF District Plan
Resolution No. 79
Greg Hunt, Economic Development Coordinator, presented the staff report.
Commissioner Carper asked if it was unusual that the redevelopment area is so
distant from the Victoria Ponds TIF District.
Mr. Hunt replied that state statutes allow tax increment from Redevelopment TIF
Districts to be spent on qualified redevelopment activities outside the district as long
as the increment is spent within the same Redevelopment Project Area, which it is in
this case.
Commissioner Carper asked how the Redevelopment Area was determined by the
City.
Mr. Hunt indicated that the Redevelopment Project Area encompasses
approximately 75% of the city and was determined when the city’s first TIF Districts
were created in the 1970s.
Meeting of April 28, 2008 (Item No. 4n) Page 2
Subject: Planning Commission Minutes March 19, 2008
Commissioner Carper asked about the expected market value of the former Erv’s
Garage site upon redevelopment. Mr. Hunt indicated that the proposed project
would have a value of under $1 million upon completion.
Commissioner Kramer asked how the value is garnered.
Mr. Hunt responded that the increased value derives from removing the substandard
and nonconforming uses, cleaning up the site, and constructing a higher value
commercial building. The proposed value was also determined reasonable by the
city’s assessor.
Commissioner Person asked if the Victoria Ponds project was completed.
Mr. Hunt replied that it was completed.
Commissioner Carper made a motion to adopt Resolution No. 79 finding that a
modification to the redevelopment plan for Redevelopment Project No. 1 and a
modification to the tax increment finance plan for the Victoria Ponds Tax Increment
Financing District conform to the general plans for the development and
redevelopment of the city. Commissioner Person seconded the motion. The
motion passed on a vote of 6-0.

A. Conditional Use Permit with Setback Variances – Kamberg Condominium
Project
Location: 4101 31st Street West
Applicant: Merlin Brown, Emery Art Development
Case No.: 08-05-CUP and 08-06-VAR
Adam Fulton, Planner, presented the staff report.
Merlin Brown, Emery Art Development, applicant, spoke about projects his
company had done. He described the Kamberg project.
Commissioner Carper asked about the garage exit and if there would be
adequate screening of headlights.
Mr. Fulton responded staff looked at that closely and there was adequate
screening with the brick wall. Staff also looked at the slope to make sure it would
be appropriate for winter conditions. It was a 7% slope. The landscaping
combined with the brick wall would accommodate the screening.
Commissioner Carper asked the height of the wall.
Meeting of April 28, 2008 (Item No. 4o) Page 2
Subject: Planning Commission Minutes April 2, 2008
Mr. Brown replied it will be five or six feet.
Commissioner Person asked if the building would have City recycling services or
if the owner would provide it.
Mr. Fulton replied condominium buildings are responsible for contracting that,
which is typically handled through the homeowners association.
Chair Robertson asked about the underground parking level.
Mr. Fulton indicated there were 19 stalls in the underground parking and an
additional level of sub-basement used for storage.
Chair Robertson stated in the underground parking layout the turning radius
appeared unworkable.
Mr. Fulton showed a slide and explained the underground parking. He said
underground parking is generally tighter than surface parking. The drive aisles
were adequate. They had seen similar tight situations on other small condo
developments.
Chair Robertson opened the public hearing.
As no one was present wishing to speak, the Chair closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Morris asked about the condominium project abutting this site with
a similar parking situation. He asked if that project had been constructed.
Mr. Fulton replied it was nearly complete, but was not occupied.
Commissioner Morris believed the parking code dictated the drive aisle width and
it was his understanding if they had 20-22 feet it was considered sufficient to
make a turn into and out of a parking stall. It was a difficult turning stance and
undesirable, but within code it was acceptable.
Mr. Fulton commented it was a “double-edged” sword. It was a tight situation
and underground parking almost always is tight. If more obstructions were
created it would add to cost and they would see less underground parking.
Commissioner Morris asked about the DORA and asked if ponding areas were
excluded in the calculations.
Mr. Fulton replied that ponding areas are not included in DORA.
Chair Robertson asked what determined the six feet from the drive aisle to the
property line regarding the variance. He asked if that was based on width
needed for planting.
Meeting of April 28, 2008 (Item No. 4o) Page 3
Subject: Planning Commission Minutes April 2, 2008
Mr. Fulton stated it wouldn’t be appropriate to plant anything there if it was less
than six-feet. Less than six feet wasn’t ideal. Six feet was adequate to provide
sufficient growth medium for trees and shrubs.
Chair Robertson noted with creative landscaping, if that area was narrowed, they
would not need the variance.
Mr. Fulton replied that was correct.
Chair Robertson stated that as the parking was private, not public, people would
get accustomed to the constraints.
Mr. Fulton noted there were 19 spaces in the underground parking garage.
Under the previous parking code, only a total of 18 spaces would have been
required for the whole project and two of those could be on the street resulting in
only 16 spaces underground. The regulations were redone and the applicant
was meeting those regulations, but it did constrain the underground parking.
Ms. McMonigal stated the corner spaces were slightly wider than the interior
spaces, which would help turning movements.
Chair Robertson asked if there is a problem issuing a variance when the building
could be shifted and have a narrower planting strip.
Mr. Fulton indicated this was the most appropriate design because of the buffer
to the neighbors. The buffer was included because of a staff recommendation to
the applicant.
Commissioner Johnston-Madison said she liked the project and felt it would fit
into the neighborhood. She said she wouldn’t like to see the building moved over
because it was better to have the extra green space on that edge.
Commissioner Johnston-Madison made a motion to recommend approval of a
Conditional Use Permit allowing a multi-family dwelling in the R-4 Zoning District
with variances, subject to conditions recommended by staff.
Commissioner Morris seconded the motion, and the motion passed on a vote of
7-0.

Ms. McMonigal introduced the applications and provided background information

Subject: Planning Commission Minutes April 2, 2008
Mr. Walther presented the staff report and recommendations. He stated that the
sign plan would come before the Commission at a later date with the hotel
project.
David Bade, Duke Realty and J. R. Anderson, partner, gave a presentation
showing the project image, buildings and landscaping.
Commissioner Morris asked about the location of drinking fountains.
Mr. Anderson replied he was unsure of the locations at this time.
Commissioner Morris asked about the location of public restrooms.
Mr. Anderson replied they would be in the atrium area next to the mall office.
Commissioner Morris asked if there would be public telephones.
Mr. Anderson said he was unsure, and they hadn’t thought about it.
Commissioner Morris stated an issue raised early in the process that he didn’t
see addressed was bike racks.
Mr. Anderson replied they did have a number of bike racks (Nero design)
dispersed throughout near the streets, in the arcade area, and in the garage.
Mr. Walther added racks were also incorporated in the streetscape plan.
Commissioner Johnston-Madison suggested the applicant work with staff
incorporating Lilac Way and its history. She commented that there is a lot of old
stone that will be removed in the area. She asked if the applicant would talk to
staff about incorporating the old stone as a remembrance or tribute to Lilac Way
in the fountains or public art.
Mr. Anderson indicated they were working with staff on creating public art.
Commissioner Kramer noted the graphics in the presentation were very helpful.
He asked about people getting dropped off and blocking traffic on West End
Blvd. He asked if there will be a drop off area.
Mr. Anderson stated there would be “teaser” parking in that area. They were
also proposing cars being able to park there, and one or two spaces could be
reserved for drop off only.
Commissioner Kramer noted at the Mall of America there are people getting
dropped off and causing lines of cars behind them, slowing up the traffic. He said
he sees the same thing happening at the West End. He said he was having a
hard time seeing West End Blvd. as a quiet pedestrian mall as the applicant was
proposing. How do they propose to slow the traffic and get people to cross?
Meeting of April 28, 2008 (Item No. 4o) Page 5
Subject: Planning Commission Minutes April 2, 2008
Mr. Anderson replied when people come in at 16th, there is a four-way stop,
which would slow traffic. People are allowed to drive through that area. The
teaser parking will help slow people down. Changing the pavement surface
helps slow people down and then there is another four-way stop. When they
have used the paver patterns and different materials to break it up, the theory
was that cars slow down. They hope there is enough pull off area by the arcade.
Commissioner Kramer stated at four-way stops people hop out of cars. He
encouraged the developer to design around that somehow.
Mr. Anderson indicated there will be a valet area that could also be utilized.
Commissioner Kramer asked which commercial environment in the area they
would compare this project to.
Mr. Anderson replied perhaps it could be compared to Arbor Lakes or 50th and
France. Because of the theater and the height of the structure this project varied.
It would be the feel of Arbor Lakes with the pavers, plants and tree grates. It
would be the feel of 50th and France with the type of retailers, a more urban
environment, the type of street and sidewalks, and different architectural feel.
Commissioner Carper asked if they proposed heated sidewalks.
Mr. Anderson replied heated sidewalks are a massive expense and because of
the parking structure below, it wasn’t feasible. They have an on-site mall
management office and there would be an abundance of people to remove snow
from sidewalks. With the history of Duke and how they operate their centers,
snow removal will be done as soon as possible. Concrete pavers will be used,
which are not as slippery as granite.
Commissioner Person asked about signage indicating availability of stalls in the
parking ramps.
Mr. Walther responded that signage related to the service dock areas that
access off of Park Place Blvd. and are limited to truck court areas. They will
restrict access during peak hours with electronic pop-ups that prevent people
from going in when it is full or during the daytime hours when they didn’t allow
delivery to those areas. When it was open, there would be directory signage
available for truck drivers to know if it was full and to bring them to a staging area
in the alley.
Commissioner Person asked if it was possible during peak periods that a vehicle
could enter the underground ramp and find that there were no spaces available.
Mr. Walther stated the worst case scenario would be someone entering the
below ground ramp, not finding a stall and crossing to the five-level ramp to find a
place. In the peak of the season and peak hours, it may be necessary to go to
the office ramps where there is shared parking and overflow parking. There are
Meeting of April 28, 2008 (Item No. 4o) Page 6
Subject: Planning Commission Minutes April 2, 2008
pedestrian connections to the atrium area. Mr. Anderson added there is a
pedestrian connection at the third level from the existing parking ramps, across
the alley and into the third level of the deck. There will also be a vehicular
connection across the alley.
Commissioner Johnston-Madison commented that she really likes the project
and it looks better each time they see it.
Chair Robertson asked about the future of the outlot area.
Mr. Walther responded it was an outlot now for a couple of reasons. The City
has been working with Golden Valley on the opportunity to do a Joint Powers
Agreement so the developer could develop this as one site and the City of St.
Louis Park would be able to do approvals for the whole area. A portion of the
project remains in Golden Valley and there would be a split in the tax base that
came from that. They were also exploring options of bringing more of the
development into the St. Louis Park portion of the property. There was a lot of
flex in the planning for that area so the options are open as plans develop to
determine what was the right amount of right-of-way and the right configuration
for buildings, etc. With an outlot, they will have to come back for a preliminary
and final plat approval of that parcel and it may or may not include portions of
Golden Valley.
Commissioner Person asked about the project summary and the last page about
the LEED certification. The development team mentioned at various meetings
seeking LEED certification at the core and shell level, was that still the plan?
Mr. Bade replied this plan was for the retail portion and what they envisioned was
the LEED core and shell certification for the office project. For the retail project
they would be using the LEED program as a baseline, but because it was more
challenging, they probably would not be going after core and shell certification,
but would be using those checklists and trying to get as many of those points as
they could. Additionally they were working with the Watershed District on 1ow
impact design and that was a storm water management that brought in the LEED
concepts.
Commissioner Person noticed under the energy and atmosphere category it was
listed as being “none”. It was hard to believe they wouldn’t build in energy
conservation or energy heating systems when they had the opportunity to do
that.
Mr. Bade stated it was a retail project and some of those concepts and systems
would be implemented, but perhaps not up to the level to get the LEED points.
Chair Robertson followed up that a lot of the points are for on-site generation,
such as solar panels or wind, which would not happen in this project. He
explained that it is hard to control lighting levels that retailers use because they
need to highlight their product to sell. Even though they could use efficient
lighting, as a big project it was very tough to get those points.
Meeting of April 28, 2008 (Item No. 4o) Page 7
Subject: Planning Commission Minutes April 2, 2008
Commissioner Person asked if the heating systems would be natural gas.
Mr. Bade replied yes, most of the tenants would use natural gas for their HVAC
units. Mr. Anderson added each tenant would have their own rooftop units that
would condition just their space.
Chair Robertson asked if there was any accommodation coming for solar panels
for heating.
Mr. Anderson replied not at this point.
Commissioner Person asked if a green roof was being looked at for any of the
buildings. Mr. Anderson replied yes, they were contemplating it for the grocery
building. In the office building, they were looking at two spots. They were
working with the Watershed District on their grant program and incorporating a
number of concepts into the retail project and also opportunities on the office.
Commissioner Morris spoke about the condition regarding sidewalk display. He
said considering the extent of the architectural design, streetscape design and
other amenities it seemed outdoor display contradicted this nice, clean look. He
spoke about places like Home Depot with a lot of items outside. He said he
knew it was allowed in the PUD ordinance, but he was against the concept of
allowing businesses to clutter the areas with merchandise.
Commissioner Kramer agreed with the comments about Home Depot, but
disagreed for this project. He said generally anything set outside temporarily
added to the vibrancy and drew people there.
Ms. McMonigal compared this feature to Excelsior and Grand. The retailers
asked for a little bit of room to do a little bit of display. It was only slightly used in
that area.
Commissioner Morris recommended that on individual cases the Fire Department
should have some say. In Minneapolis, prior to a change in the ordinance within
the last few years allowing sidewalk cafes to leave tables and chairs out every
night, they had to bring them back in. The Fire Marshall discovered they were
packing them in the aisles, which was a hazard.
Ms. McMonigal stated staff would check with the Fire Marshall.
Commissioner Person made a motion to recommend approval of the Final Plat
and Final Planned Unit Development, subject to conditions recommended by
staff.
Commissioner Kramer seconded the motion, and the motion passed on a vote of
7-0.

TITLE:
Public Hearing - Off-Sale Liquor License - The Four Firkins
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Mayor to close public hearing. Motion to approve off-sale intoxicating liquor license to The Four
Firkins – Lagers, Ales and Wines, LLC, located at 8009 Minnetonka Boulevard for the license term
of May 1, 2008 through March 1, 2009.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
Does the Council wish to approve the off-sale intoxicating liquor license to The Four Firkins?
BACKGROUND:
The City received an application from The Four Firkins – Lagers, Ales and Wines, LLC for an off-
sale intoxicating liquor license operation at 8009 Minnetonka Boulevard. The premises to be
licensed consists of a small storefront approximately 900 square feet (part of the Texa-Tonka annex).
Jason Alvey is the sole officer and plans to begin operation in mid-May 2008.
The Four Firkins is proposed to be the first specialty beer store in Minnesota selling only high end
craft beers, microbrew beers, imported beers and wine; along with brewing accessories. The
establishment does not intend to sell any mass produced beer or any type of hard liquor. The
business name, “The Four Firkins”, refers to a traditional unit of liquid measure (four firkins
comprise one barrel).
The Police Department has run a full background investigation and has found no reason to deny the
new ownership based on the investigation. The application and Police report are on file in the
Office of the City Clerk should Council members wish to review the information prior to the public
hearing. The required notice of the public hearing was published April 17, 2008. The city currently
has 11 intoxicating off-sale licensees.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION:
The fees for new liquor licenses are found in Appendix A - Fee Schedule of the City Code. Fees for
this applicant include $1,000 for a new license investigation fee and a $200 off-sale license fee (pro-
rated).

Public Hearing and First Reading of Ordinance - West End Sewer Easement Vacation.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Mayor to close public hearing. Motion to approve the first reading of an Ordinance approving the
vacation of a portion of a Sewer Easement on Lot 4, Block 1, WEST END, and set the second
reading of the proposed ordinance for May 5, 2008.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
Is there a need for the drainage and utility easement proposed to be vacated? This easement is
within the West End redevelopment project. The West End development provides for relocation of
the sewer line and the subdivision plat provides drainage and utility easements needed for this area.
BACKGROUND:
The existing sewer line and easement lie beneath a proposed building for the West End
Redevelopment project (the proposed grocery store). The developer proposes to relocate the sewer
line, and the WEST END final plat provides for the long-term drainage and utility needs of this
area.
The proposed ordinance would not be effective until the sewer line is relocated and the WEST END
subdivision is recorded with Hennepin County.

None.

Project Report - Park Place Boulevard Improvements - Project No. 2007-1101.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to Adopt Resolution accepting this report, establishing and ordering Improvement Project
No. 2007-1101, approving plans and specifications, and authorizing advertisement for bids.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
None.
BACKGROUND:
Over the past 1-2 years, plans have gradually developed for the West End (Duke) site improvements
in the area west of Highway 100, east of Park Place Boulevard, and north of Gamble Drive. The
development of these plans included many items, including a traffic study that recommended
improvements to Park Place Boulevard. Improvements to Park Place Boulevard are necessary
primarily to provide for the additional traffic generated by the Duke development.
On November 5, 2007, the City Council authorized a contract with SRF Consulting Engineers to
prepare plans and specifications for reconstructing and improving Park Place Boulevard. The
improvements will essentially consist of the following:
1. Adding of turn lanes and improvements to the intersections of Park Place Boulevard with
Wayzata Boulevard, W. 16th Street, and Gamble Drive.
2. Installation of new traffic signals at the above intersections.
3. Complete removal and replacement of the existing bituminous surface and concrete curb and
gutter.
4. Revision of street grades and profiles as needed to match the proposed West End
Development, as well as other existing properties bordering Park Place Boulevard.
5. Construction of a multi-use trail along the west side of Park Place Boulevard.
6. Incorporation of streetscape amenities that will not only compliment the West End
Development, but also enhance the entire street corridor from Wayzata Boulevard to
Gamble Drive. These amenities will include decorative street lighting, boulevard trees and
plantings, and median plantings and streetscape enhancements. A Special Service District
(similar to the current system in place on Excelsior Boulevard) is also being established to
provide for long term maintenance for the corridor. Several permanent and temporary
easements will be needed to facilitate the streetscape amenities and trail construction.
7. Extension of mill and overlay improvements on 16th Street from Park Place Boulevard to
Zarthan Avenue South.
Meeting of April 28, 2008 (Item No. 8a) Page 2
Subject: Project Report – Park Place Boulevard Improvements - Project No. 2007-1101
At the February 11, 2008 Study Session, staff presented the City Council with an update on the
progress of the Park Place Boulevard plans and streetscape improvements. The plans are now
complete and ready to advertise for bids.
Public Process
The size, complexity, and schedule of the West End Development have largely influenced and driven
the speed and shaping of the Park Place Boulevard reconstruction plans. However, a public process,
very much consistent with that followed for similar projects has also been followed. In addition to
the many public information meetings provided for the West End development itself, additional
public information meetings and individual property contacts exclusive to Park Place Boulevard
reconstruction have also taken place.
An informational meeting was held for adjacent property owners on November 29, 2007, and
additional open-house/informational meetings for businesses, residents, and property owners in the
greater area were held on February 21, 2008. In addition to the open public meetings, many
separate meetings with individual property owners have been held throughout development of the
project. In addition, extensive contact and coordination with other agencies has been necessary.
This has included the Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT), Minnehaha Creek
Watershed District (MCWD), and Metro Transit.
Project Timeline:
Should the City Council approve the Project Report, it is anticipated that the following schedule can
be met:
• Approval of Plans/Authorization to Bid by City Council April 28, 2008
• Advertise for bids May 2008

• Bid Tab Report to City Council; Award contract June 2, 2008
• Begin Construction June, 23, 2008
• Substantial Completion of Roadway November, 2008
• Final Completion, Including Streetscape Amenities August, 2009
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION:

“West End” - Final Plat and Final Planned Unit Development.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to adopt a resolution approving a Final Plat for the WEST END addition with conditions as
recommended by the Planning Commission and Staff.
Motion to adopt a resolution approving a Final Planned Unit Development (PUD) for a portion of
the West End redevelopment project with conditions as recommended by the Planning Commission
and Staff.
PREVIOUS APPROVALS:
In August 2007, Duke Realty received Preliminary Plat approval and a Conditional Use Permit to
conduct some of the site work including grading and utilities. A portion of that work is underway.
In February and March 2008, the City Council approved a Rezoning from IP – Industrial Park to O
– Office, a Preliminary Plat Amendment with Subdivision Variances, and a Preliminary Planned
Unit Development for the redevelopment project.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
This development addresses many adopted goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan including
in the areas of land use, redevelopment, and livable communities by fostering redevelopment,
community identity, compact development and improved community connections.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION:
Not applicable for these approvals.
VISION CONSIDERATION:
This development addresses several of the City Council adopted Strategic Direction areas, including:
Gathering Spaces, Community Events, Transportation, Sidewalk and Trails, and Environment.
PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT PLANS:
Duke Realty Corporation owns approximately 49 acres at the southwest corner of I-394 and
Highway 100. The Final Plat covers 42.67 acres that are within St. Louis Park. The Final PUD is
for the portion of the project west of Utica Avenue.
Meeting of April 28, 2008 (Item No. 8b) Page 2
Subject: West End Final Plat and Final Planned Unit Development
Proposed for redevelopment is a compact, urban “lifestyle” shopping center and hotel site on the
west side of Duke’s property. The existing office towers and parking structures will remain, as will
the Olive Garden and Chili’s restaurants. Duke plans to construct the retail/restaurant/
entertainment part of the overall plan in a single phase beginning in 2008, with completion expected
in the fall of 2009.
Lifestyle Shopping Center
Duke Realty and joint venture partner Jeffrey R. Anderson Real Estate plan to redevelop the site as a
“lifestyle” shopping center of approximately 410,567 gross square feet on approximately 18 acres.
The development will feature:
(a) Retail tenants consistent with an urban “lifestyle” center
(b) Casual and sit-down restaurants
(c) A 14-screen movie theater
(d) A 130-150 room hotel
(e) 34,678 gross square feet of second story office space
(f) Gourmet grocery store
To serve the development, 16th Street will be extended east from Park Place Boulevard to Utica
Avenue. A new main street, “West End Boulevard” will run north and south parallel to Park Place
Boulevard, and function as the focal point of the “lifestyle” center. It will have shops fronting on it
and provide access to the underground and ramped parking. The shopping area opens up to Park
Place Boulevard and a pedestrian arcade connects it to West End Boulevard. Shops will be located
along the pedestrian-friendly environment of the arcade.
Parking will be provided by a surface parking lot north of 16th Street, a single-level, underground
parking garage beneath the largest retail block, and a five-level parking structure adjacent to the east
side of the retail. A skyway will connect the existing parking structure for the existing office towers
with the new five-level structure to facilitate shared parking within the redevelopment.
Public Gathering Spaces
Gathering spaces accessible to the public include West End Boulevard, the pedestrian arcade, the
indoor Atrium at the entrance to the movie theater, and the large green space in the center of the
new office buildings. West End Boulevard will be able to be partially closed for community events
and gatherings. The indoor Atrium space will include a community meeting room, public restrooms
and a police substation. The City and Duke will enter into a Planning Development Contract that
addresses public use of the gathering spaces.
Green Elements
The developer will incorporate several LEED design elements in the shopping center project. The
developer also worked with Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD) to provide partial green
roofs behind the second story offices, and to provide engineered soils under, and slot drains in, the
sidewalks to improve tree health/growth and capture stormwater.
Meeting of April 28, 2008 (Item No. 8b) Page 3
Subject: West End Final Plat and Final Planned Unit Development
The more impressive achievements of the developer’s stormwater management system result from
directing roof water directly to pipes to avoid contamination on the ground, and using an
underground, perforated pipe gallery system for storage and infiltration. This system is projected to
remove 47 lbs/yr of phosphorus. To put that into perspective, the developer is required to remove 2
lbs/yr, and the MCWD’s 2020 phosphorus reduction goal for the entire Brownie Lake sub-
watershed is 12 lbs/yr.
Public Art
Spaces for public art have been preliminarily identified include: (1) the terminus of 16th Street at
Utica Avenue, and (2) the northern terminus of West End Boulevard at 16th Street. Staff and Duke
will be working through a public art process to refine locations and selection of public art. The
Developer will fund $285,000 for public art as a part of the PUD. Other locations around the site
may have art as well (i.e. the two ends of the pedestrian arcade and the atrium).
SITE LOCATION MAP:
Meeting of April 28, 2008 (Item No. 8b) Page 4
Subject: West End Final Plat and Final Planned Unit Development
Park Place Boulevard
A number of improvements along Park Place Boulevard were recommended with the proposed
redevelopment to maintain acceptable intersection operations, including additional lanes and turn
lanes. As a result, Park Place Boulevard will be reconstructed in 2008-09. The improvements
include widening the road in certain places, and adding several left and right turn lanes at
intersections between Gamble Drive and Wayzata Boulevard. Engineering and planning staff are
meeting with property owners along the construction area to discuss the project; meetings will
continue through the spring and through construction.
The City anticipates creating a special service district with properties adjacent to the reconstructed
Park Place Boulevard in order to ensure proper maintenance of new landscaping, lighting and other
streetscape amenities.
Transit Accommodation
Metro Transit has reviewed the site plan and worked with city staff to plan for this redevelopment.
Metro Transit will reroute the 604 and 649 through the development after enough office towers are
built. A bus layover area has been designed in the public street at the eastern end of 16th Street, and
a turnaround for buses will be needed in the future office portion of the project at the terminus of
16th Street. The Park and Ride and transit service at the corner of Park Place and the frontage road
will remain; the bus shelter will likely be moved slightly. Additional bus stops will be needed on 16th
Street and Park Place Boulevard; streetscape plans will reflect the need for handicap accessibility to
the buses.
Travel Demand Management
The St. Louis Park and Golden Valley I-394 Joint Powers Agreement requires development within
the I-394 corridor to “prepare and effectuate traffic management plans which will serve to reduce the
traffic congestion.” The Travel Demand Management (TDM) Ordinance in St. Louis Park requires
that “the owner shall submit the traffic management plan to the joint task force which shall review
and approve all traffic management plans before they may be implemented.” The Developer has
submitted a draft TDM plan for approval of the Task Force; approval is required prior to issuance of
a certificate of occupancy.
PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT (PUD) OBJECTIVES:
The intent is that the entire site be an integrated, cohesive development as a PUD. The initial Final
PUD request covers the existing office towers, existing restaurants, hotel pad site, and shopping
center. The PUD may be amended in the future to expand and include planned office towers east of
Utica Avenue.
The West End development requires a PUD to allow the shopping center use and for certain
modifications from the Zoning Code. The Zoning Code requires that applicants for a Planned Unit
Development demonstrate how the proposal will “enhance, support, and further the following
objectives”:
Meeting of April 28, 2008 (Item No. 8b) Page 5
Subject: West End Final Plat and Final Planned Unit Development
1. Provide for integrated pedestrian facilities to and within the project:
The layout extended the existing street grid, incorporating the layout of 16th Street and Utica
Avenue and augmenting the grid with additional private roads and pedestrian corridors.
Sidewalks are provided along all streets. To improve pedestrian connections, the development
includes skyways connecting to existing office towers and parking ramps, and indoor and
outdoor gathering spaces.
A preliminary design for a pedestrian-oriented streetscape is also provided for Park Place
Boulevard, 16th Street, Gamble Drive, West End Boulevard and Utica Avenue. Enhanced
streetscape design will improve the site for pedestrians accessing the retail component.
2. Enhance linkages to mass transit facilities:
At the current time, the development site is served by three Metro Transit routes: the 9, 604 and
649. Route 9 is a “frequently operating transit line” under the existing Zoning Code and Metro
Transit may increase the frequency and modify the routes following the construction of the
office towers.
The Developer is providing a bus layover and bus shelters on 16th Street near Utica Avenue.
City staff, consistent with Metro Transit’s request, recommends providing a bus turnaround at
the terminus of 16th Street at Utica Avenue. The development has the opportunity to take
advantage of regular transit access to locations throughout the Twin Cities Metropolitan area.
3. Incorporate implementation of travel demand management strategies as part of the PUD:
Because the proposed density of this mixed-use development and future office park, the
implementation of travel demand strategies requires specific planning or management. The
purpose of travel demand management is to spread the number of automobile trips throughout
the day, reducing the negative impacts that occur during peak travel times. The Developer has
submitted a draft Travel Demand Management Plan. The developer is responsible to obtain
approval from the I-394 Joint Task Force.
4. Provide public plazas and designed outdoor recreation area which exceeds minimum chapter
requirements:
The development includes 15.7% of the gross building area for Designed Outdoor Recreation
Area (DORA). A portion of the DORA is satisfied with indoor gathering spaces, including two
atriums totaling 9,000 square feet. The requirement is 12% of the gross building area. It is
noteworthy that the developer was able to exceed the DORA requirement even in a very dense
redevelopment site that required significant road right-of-way dedication.
5. Provide a high degree of aesthetics through overall design and display of public art:
The development includes a site plan that provides enhanced gathering spaces, streetscape
elements, Class “A” office and upscale retail buildings, impressive and interesting architectural
features, and public art opportunities.
Meeting of April 28, 2008 (Item No. 8b) Page 6
Subject: West End Final Plat and Final Planned Unit Development
ZONING ANALYSIS:
The scope of this analysis is limited to the new shopping center, existing restaurants, and existing
offices. The hotel site is excluded from the analysis, but staff provides preliminary comments on the
concept plan at the end of this report based on the limited information known at this time. Before
the hotel project proceeds, the developer must apply for a PUD amendment for review and approval
from the Planning Commission and City Council.
The plan meets Zoning Code requirements, provided the City approves PUD modifications for
parking, setbacks, and designed outdoor recreation area.

Subject: West End Final Plat and Final Planned Unit Development
Architectural Design
The Developer is using a unique approach for construction of the tenant storefronts in the shopping
center. The Developer will not design or build the individual facades, except the second-story
offices, movie theater, the small retail building north of 16th Street (Building 12) and the retail
building northeast of the Gamble Drive and West End Boulevard intersection (Building 33).
Instead, the Developer will supply design guidelines and palettes of acceptable colors and materials
to tenants and each tenant will design and build its storefront. Between tenants’ spaces a neutral
column will be constructed that is repeated throughout the project. The goal is to help provide a
more eclectic and lively mix in the project, and allow tenants more freedom to express a business
image.
A condition of approval requires revisions to the “Shops at West End Tenant Design Guidelines” to
include standards relating to transparency and building entrance orientation. It is important for
visitors to see/perceive what is happening in the buildings from the street and sidewalks (i.e. window
shopping, outdoor dining, etc.). This helps maintain a high level of interest and activity throughout
the project, draw people from store to store, and extends shopper’s stay in the project. The
conditions of approval include specific standards relating that:
Require a minimum percentage of windows at pedestrian level
Maintain window transparency into tenant spaces
Require tenants spaces located at street intersections to locate entrances at or near the corners
Require at least 60 percent Class I materials on all tenant storefronts. The current design
criteria would only apply to walls fronting public streets, however, this rule should also apply
to West End Boulevard and the pedestrian arcade.
Establish guidelines for other activities and improvements that affect the character of the
development, such as the use of the sidewalks for display of merchandise and additional
design criteria for awnings and canopies
The grocer building (Building 11) has a very long wall along Park Place Boulevard. Unlike the rest
of the shopping center, this area is will not have storefront entrances onto Park Place Boulevard and
16th Street. This design needs improvement to better address pedestrians on the west and south
sides. Planning Commission review and a Minor PUD Amendment will be required for the final
design of the grocer building and site when the tenant for this site prepares its plans.
The buildings will meet the Class I exterior material requirements. The materials consist of brick,
stone, masonry, precast concrete, EFIS, metal and wood.
Parking structures will have acid-etched precast spandrel panels for the exterior material. This is a
Class II material and compatible with the proposed buildings. Where the parking structure is within
20 feet of the right-of-way, the exterior must have 60 percent Class I exterior materials. This
impacts the south side of the five-level parking structure ramp near Gamble Drive (Building 34).
This side of the shopping center ramp has brick columns that provide only 19% Class I materials. A
condition of approval is to meet the 60% requirement.
Meeting of April 28, 2008 (Item No. 8b) Page 8
Subject: West End Final Plat and Final Planned Unit Development
Parking
The parking plan meets the zoning code requirements by mixing uses and sharing parking among
the office and shopping center components. City staff reviewed the peak hours and characteristics of
the parking demand of the various uses (Parking Generation 3rd Edition, Institute of Transportation
Engineers, 2004). In addition, the Developer commissioned Walker Parking Consultants to study
this issue.
The West End Retail Project Parking Study by Walker Parking Consultants states that parking is
sufficient. However, it notes that customers may perceive a parking problem during the peak hours,
of the peak week, of the peak season (last week of December).
The plan deploys several strategies to make it easy for customers to park. The internal traffic
circulation is simple and logical between the west and east side parking. The plan also includes
pedestrian and automobile skyway connections between the proposed east parking ramp and existing
office parking ramps. Retail employees will be encouraged to park in the east retail parking
structure(s) to provide as much customer parking close to the stores as possible. Directional signs
will be located throughout the development.
In addition to the parking listed in the above table, the plan proposes approximately six one-hour
on-street parking stalls along West End Boulevard (“teaser” parking) and two spaces designated for
“pick-up/drop-off only”. These spaces are an important facet of West End Boulevard to allow
vehicular activation of storefronts and help to slow traffic; however, additional spaces for customer
drop-off/pick-up and small delivery vehicles may be needed to ensure emergency vehicle access. A
condition of approval reserves the City’s authority to require more (or all) of the on-street parking to
be designated as “drop-off/pick-up” only.
Loading/Service Areas
The number and size of loading areas meet City Code requirements. The plan generally separates
loading/service areas from customer traffic by placing them within buildings or enclosed areas where
they are screened from public streets. The loading areas are located at the north side of Building 11,
south of Building 22, north of Building 24, and in the parking structures.
Parking Provided
Existing ramps – 1600 / MoneyGram Towers 1702 spaces
Existing surface – restaurants 285 spaces
Subtotal 1 1,987
New ramp – retail adjacent 987 spaces
Underground garages 517 spaces
Surface 224 spaces
Subtotal 2 1,728
Total Provided 3,715 spaces
Meeting of April 28, 2008 (Item No. 8b) Page 9
Subject: West End Final Plat and Final Planned Unit Development
The two truck courts on the west side of the retail project have direct accesses to Park Place
Boulevard. They also dead-end in a hammerhead design. To avoid traffic problems on Park Place
Boulevard and conflicts within the truck courts, access to the truck courts will be controlled.
Mechanical retractable bollards located in-line with the Park Place Boulevard streetscape planter
walls will be on a timer. Bollards will be up during the day/peak hours to physically restrict access
near the road curb line and prevent turns from Park Place Boulevard and when the truck courts are
occupied with delivery vehicles already. The bollards will retract from 8 p.m. to 10 a.m. to allow
service vehicles and delivery trucks to enter the loading areas from Park Place Boulevard.
Directional signs at these driveway entrances will also indicate when the loading area is full or closed
and direct trucks to a staging area along the private alley. Additional signs in the staging area (alley)
will indicate when the truck courts open up/clear out.
Landscaping
The plan meets the tree replacement requirement. The plan cannot meet the minimum number of
tree and shrub plantings, so the project relies on the alternative landscaping provisions of the zoning
code.
The package of alternative landscaping elements includes outdoor plazas, public seating, fountain(s),
public art, bus shelters, pedestrian arcade and canopy, structured soils for street trees, speed table at
the intersection of 16th Street and West End Boulevard, and a partial green roof on Bldg 23 behind
the second story offices.
The Developer worked with the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District to incorporate additional best
management practices over and above current requirements. Both the City Forester and SRF
Consulting Group reviewed the Developer’s landscaping plans. SRF Consulting Group provided
streetscape design services on the public roadways and coordinated the design with the developer.
The City, SRF Consulting Group and the Developer will continue to coordinate through
construction.
Signs
The applicant submitted a draft sign plan for the site that will require further review. Sign permits
will be required.
Utilities
A condition of the Final PUD is that all utilities are placed underground. This includes utilities
service structures, such as electrical boxes, unless they are located inconspicuously and screened
entirely. There must be close coordination with small utility companies on the placement, screening
and burying of these structures to maintain the high aesthetic quality of the streetscape and
development. The plan includes locations for City fiber optic lines and meets the City’s needs.
Meeting of April 28, 2008 (Item No. 8b) Page 10
Subject: West End Final Plat and Final Planned Unit Development
Refuse Handling
All waste will be stored indoors, fully screened and not visible from public roads. The property
management will handle the refuse contract(s). The loading areas with limited space (loading docks
serving Buildings 22-24) propose to use compactors and fully contained units. The plan also
handles grease from restaurant uses cleanly and efficiently through a central delivery and retrieval
system, which pipes it to and from the restaurants. The plan also provides appropriate recycling
services for tenants.
PUD MODIFICATIONS:
The PUD includes approval of the existing office towers to exceed Intensity Classification 6 and
allows more than one principal use and building on Lot 4, Block 1 and Lots 1 and 2, Block 2 of
WEST END addition.
The developer requests PUD modifications for setbacks, parking and designed outdoor recreation
area (DORA). These modifications are described below.
Setbacks
Buildings do not have to be set back from the property line in a PUD. The developer is placing
buildings very near the road right-of-way to achieve an urban image. Generally, the building walls
are at least five feet from the property lines; however, in some cases the building foundations will
abut the right-of-way. A blanket waiver of the building setback requirements is necessary and
recommended.
Designed Outdoor Recreation Area (DORA)
The plans exceed the DORA requirements. Included in the PUD modifications is the use of indoor
gathering spaces (the retail and office atriums).
Parking
The parking requirement is being modified by 14% from 4,318 spaces to 3,715 spaces. This
reduction is justified based on shared parking by a mix of uses with varying peak hour demands, as
described in the West End Retail Project Parking Study by Walker Parking Consultants.
Environmental Review
An AUAR (Alternative Urban Area-wide Review) was completed in 2006 and 2007. The proposed
development is different than the development scenarios, most notably, housing units are not being
developed. The AUAR was adopted on April 9, 2007. Several mitigation items were discussed in
the AUAR; and are included as conditions of approval as appropriate.
Sanitary Sewer
The project area is served by the City’s municipal sanitary sewer system and connects into the
Metropolitan Council system. The sanitary sewer projections showed that with the five evaluated
development scenarios, the regional sanitary sewer system would need some upgrades. The
Mitigation Plan in the AUAR states that flows will be monitored as the development proceeds. If
Meeting of April 28, 2008 (Item No. 8b) Page 11
Subject: West End Final Plat and Final Planned Unit Development
sewer flows exceed Metropolitan Council requirements, Duke may need to design and construct
appropriate temporary peak flow storage for additional development until the Metropolitan Council
interceptor is upgraded. A location for this storage area has been identified on the office area plans.
Sanitary sewer flows were recalibrated using the actual proposed development and square footages.
Since residential development is not included, the revised sewer flow projections show:
• The retail and hotel portions of the development can be built under the existing flows,
taking into account that several buildings were removed.
• Two of the office buildings could be built while staying under the required Metropolitan
Council guidelines.
• The third and fourth office buildings have the potential for on-site detention based on
projected flows if the Metropolitan sanitary sewer capacity upgrade is not completed prior to
construction.
The utility plans include a location and design of the temporary peak flow storage facility should it
be needed. The Metropolitan Council is planning a new interceptor, and expects to construct the
improvements in 2010.
Water capacity
The project area is and will be served by City of St. Louis Park’s water utility. The AUAR
projections showed water usage could be over 90% of existing system capacity in peak periods. Since
residential is not included, the water usage is reduced from the initial projections. Mitigation
measures that are required include abiding by City’s water use restrictions, following state
requirements for low-flow structures, and monitoring water use after Phases 1 and 2 of the
redevelopment. If demand exceeds 90% of peak capacity, the City and the Developer will need to
identify citywide and project-specific measures to increase water treatment capacity and reduce
consumption prior to further construction.
HOTEL DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT PLAN REVIEW:
The City is providing limited analysis and general comments on the concept plans for the hotel site.
The hotel site and building plans are incomplete and require separate review and approval as a PUD
amendment. The process for this later review is included as a condition of approval.
The conceptual hotel site plan shows a driveway directly onto 16th Street for a drop-off. The
developer shall submit revised plans to provide access off the private drive and not directly onto
16th Street.
The hotel plans propose a multi-story building adjacent to the neighboring Hilton Homewood
Suites development. Preliminary studies indicate the hotel will need a variance from the City’s
shadow regulations.

Subject: West End Final Plat and Final Planned Unit Development
FINAL PLAT ANALYSIS:
Description
The developer proposes a Final Plat for 42.67 acres known as “West End.” The Final Plat consists
of six lots, one outlot for future development, and dedication of right-of-way for Gamble Drive,
Park Place Boulevard, 16th Street West, and Utica Avenue South. Staff finds the Final Plat is in
substantial compliance with the previously approved Preliminary Plat with Subdivision Variances.
Uses
Block 1 lies north of the extended 16th Street. Within this block, there are four lots. Lots 1 and 2
cover the existing Chili’s and Olive Garden restaurants. Lot 3 is a future hotel site with structured
parking. Lot 4 is a now vacant parcel that will host two buildings; proposed uses may include three
fast casual restaurants, gourmet grocer, and surface parking lot.
Block 2 is south of 16th Street. It contains two lots. Lot 1 contains the existing office towers
(MoneyGram and 1600 Tower), operations center, and parking structure. Lot 2 is now vacant and
will have a mix of uses, including movie theater, retail, office, restaurant, and two parking structures.
Outlot A lies east of Utica Avenue. Duke must re-plat in order to build on this outlot in the future.
The concept plans for this site include four office towers.
The six lots included in the proposed plat meet all subdivision requirements for minimum lot size,
shape, and dimension.
Right-of-way Dedication
The developer is dedicating 7.75 acres of right-of-way. The proposed street right-of-way widths for
Utica Avenue and 16th Street fall within the minimum range of 70 to 110 feet required for
commercial streets. The proposed right-of-way width of Gamble Drive also meets this requirement,
except near the intersection of Utica Avenue where it narrows to approximately 68 feet.
Drainage and Utility Easements
The drainage and utility easements provided along the perimeter of the parcels are consistent with
the approved Preliminary Plat and Subdivision Variances.
The Final Plat now includes expanded drainage and utility easements over proposed utilities under
West End Boulevard (private road), and extended easements over the underground stormwater pipe
gallery to provide public access from Park Place Boulevard and 16th Street.
Public Access Easements
The Developer is providing public ingress and egress easements over West End Boulevard, the
alley/service road, the pedestrian arcade, and the driveway connecting 16th Street to the neighboring
Hilton Homewood Suites site.
Meeting of April 28, 2008 (Item No. 8b) Page 13
Subject: West End Final Plat and Final Planned Unit Development
Park Dedication
The developer will pay $917,700 in park dedication fees to the City of St. Louis Park with the final
plat(s) for the development.
Engineering Review
City Engineer Scott Brink, and consulting engineer Ronald Quanbeck of TKDA Architects and
Engineers, reviewed the final plat application materials. Overall, the subdivision, street, drainage,
grading, utility and erosion control plans are acceptable.
PUBLIC PROCESS:
Citizen Committee
In June 2007, the Council appointed seven members to a Citizen Committee to review the retail
area design, public gathering spaces, and connections to and through the development. The
Committee included members of the Planning Commission, Parks and Recreation Advisory
Commission, citizens from the adjacent neighborhoods, including a Golden Valley resident, and
citizens at large. The Committee met four times with city staff, city consultants and Duke
Realty/Jeffrey R. Anderson Real Estate representatives from August to November.
The AUAR process included several public meetings, including two neighborhood meetings: one on
August 8, 2006 at the beginning of the study and one presenting the results on January 9, 2007. For
these meetings, citizens from the Cedarhurst, Blackstone and the South Tyrol Hills neighborhoods
were individually invited.
On January 8, 2008, a neighborhood meeting was held at City Hall. Approximately 60 people
attended.
On January 16, 2008, a public hearing was held by the Planning Commission. One person spoke at
the hearing.
The City Council approved the Rezoning, Preliminary Plat and Preliminary PUD on February 19,
2008 and March 3, 2008.
The Planning Commission reviewed the Final Plat and Final PUD on April 2, 2008, and
recommended approval.

Subject: West End Final Plat and Final Planned Unit Development
NEXT STEPS:
Assuming approval is given by the Council, the following would be expected to occur:
The Developer and City will execute the first amendment to the development agreement
(Planning Development Contract).
The Developer will apply for PUD amendments for subsequent phases of PUD development,
including the grocery store building and site plan, hotel, and office towers. These amendments
require Planning Commission review and City Council approval.
City staff will review and approve the Shops at West End Tenant Design Guidelines, sign plans
and individual tenant façade plans.

TITLE:
2008-2010 Law Enforcement Labor Services (LELS) Local #220 – Public Safety Dispatchers Labor
Agreement.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to adopt the attached Resolution approving a Labor Agreement between the City and the
Public Safety Dispatchers LELS Local #220, establishing terms and conditions of employment for
three years, from 1/1/08 – 12/31/10.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
Does Council wish to approve the Labor Agreement between the City and the Dispatchers Union?
BACKGROUND:
Staff is pleased to bring to Council the details of this contract agreement between the City and
Union for 2008. This is the last open contract for 2008. As you are aware, we have 11 staff that
provide quality dispatch services for all of our public safety activities (Police and Fire) for the cities of
St. Louis Park and Golden Valley. These operations are housed and managed in our Police
Department. Upon adoption of this contract, three of our five groups will be settled through 2010
(Dispatch, Firefighters and Maintenance). Our other two contracts (Sergeants and Officers) are
settled through 2009.
The City and the Union have had productive negotiation sessions and have come to agreement. The
following is a summary of changes to the contract:
• Duration of three years (1/1/08 – 12/31/10).
• Wage increase of 3% effective January 1, 2008 (consistent with non-union).
• Market adjustment of 50 cents per hour on top of the 3% increase for 2008.
o Comment: Review of market data shows our Dispatchers were starting to fall
below market average. The total cost of the market adjustment is approximately
$11,500 for 2008.
• Wage increase of 3% for 2009 (consistent with other union groups).
• Market adjustment of 10 cents per hour on top of the 3% increase for 2009.
o Comment: Market data indicates that another adjustment is necessary to keep
our Dispatchers in line with comparable cities. Cost of this adjustment is
approximately $2,300 for 2009.
• Wage increase of 3.25% for 2010 (consistent with other union groups).
Meeting of April 28, 2008 (Item No. 8c) Page 2
Subject: 2008-2010 IUOE Local 49 Labor Agreement
• Employer contribution for health insurance consistent with other groups for 2008 at
$720 per month. If electing the high deductible health plan, the employer
contribution is set at $511.66 for premiums and $208.34 for VEBA contribution.
• Employer contribution for health insurance for 2009 and 2010 set as same amount
as other non-union groups.
• The minimum hours for employees who appear at court increased from two to three
hours. These hours are paid at one and one-half times the employee’s base pay rate.
o Comment: This is consistent with other contracts.
• Health Care Savings Plan/VEBA - Two new contract additions:
1. The first is the severance transfer plan that non-union and other union groups
have already voted to approve. (This is the only group that had not adopted the
plan previously.) This is a mandatory plan for employees who qualify to receive
severance pay upon separation from the city to participate in the HCSP based on
the level of flex leave balance. Based on plan design, flex leave would move to a
HCSP upon separation from employment.
2. The other plan is the annual transfer of up to 40 hours of leave for those
employees who are at their max of leave accrual (Sergeants and Local 49 also have
approved this language). Prior to this, employees who reach the maximum on
leave accrual were issued up to 40 hours paid one time per year in accordance
with policy.
o Comment: The changes do not increase the cost to the city. The benefit of
moving to these plans is that they allow employees to continue to build tax-
free balances in their VEBA accounts to help pay for eligible medical
expenses, including retirement health insurance premiums. Ability to do this
must be approved by bargaining group and comply with the IRS rules and
regulations surrounding such plans.
Staff is pleased with this agreement and recommends approval. The proposed contract is on file
with the City Clerk. More detail is available upon request.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION:
Funds for this settlement are in the 2008 budget, and will be included in the 2009 and 2010 budget
preparation.

Advertising & Sponsorship Guidelines.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to approve adoption of the attached Advertising & Sponsorship Guidelines.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
Do the attached advertising guidelines reflect the mission, values and vision of the City of St. Louis
Park and its place as a Children First community?
BACKGROUND:
In July 2007, city staff discussed with the council the absence of a city publication advertising policy.
Partnering with advertisers or sponsors is a practice already in place in the city related to
publications, Web, media, events and facility advertisements. Currently, the city enters into revenue-
sharing agreements to sell or place ads with a variety of contractors. This practice has been done on
occasion over the years and we do not have a policy. The city recently adopted a policy for athletic
field advertising.
Staff is recommending that a general policy for advertising and sponsorships be developed to give
staff guidelines to cover publications, other written media, cable television, videos and the website.
The purpose of an advertising and sponsorship policy is to allow the city the opportunity to set
standards in its advertising and make sure our advertising also meets with the vision, mission and
values in our organization along with asset building for children in our Children First initiatives.
A policy for advertising in city facilities is not recommended to be included at this time. This is
controlled in Parks and Recreation and the system used appears to be working. If facility advertising
is to be included, staff recommends that the Parks and Recreation Director develop
recommendations.
Staff met with Council in a study session April 7, 2008, to discuss the direction of the attached
policy. Staff, with assistance from the city attorney, has reworded the section pertaining to alcohol
sales to reflect that restaurants that sell alcohol are a permitted advertiser or sponsor, as long as the
advertisements and or sponsorship do not promote alcohol consumption.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION:
By selling ads or sponsorships, the city or its partners are able to offset the cost of production,
publishing and mailing.

accepted as part of the advertising sale, as determined by the City Manager.

TITLE:
Waiver of Cable Franchising Standstill Agreement for Aquila Commons.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to approve Resolution authorizing a Waiver to the Standstill Agreement regarding Cable
Television Franchise Compliance with Comcast at Aquila Commons.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
Does the Council wish to approve the attached resolution which would clear the way for Comcast
and residents of Aquila Commons to pursue a business agreement that will provide for additional
security features to be added at Aquila Commons (closed circuit security cameras)?
BACKGROUND:
The city’s cable television franchise with Comcast includes, as required by state law, a requirement
that Comcast provide all subscribers within the city a regional channel (MCN 6).
In 2003, the city met with Comcast’s predecessor, Time Warner, to mediate a dispute related to the
use of a closed-circuit security camera signal in multiple family dwelling units that replaced the
MCN6 signal. The result of the mediation was a standstill agreement with respect to the continued
and future use of the cable television system to provide security camera service to residents of
multiple family dwelling units.
Aquila Commons
The owners of Aquila Commons has requested Comcast provide cable television services for security
camera purposes. Through the use of improved technology, Comcast can now provide the requested
service without interfering or disrupting the continued delivery of the regional channel to residents
as required by state law. Given the Standstill Agreement, Aquila Commons has asked that the City
take action to allow them to work with Comcast to enhance security at the complex.
In working with our City Attorney, it was recommended that a formal resolution be adopted to
handle this matter. Therefore, staff is recommending that the city offer a waiver of the standstill
agreement to Comcast, regarding Aquila Commons, with the following condition:
• Comcast must deliver to all residents at Aquila Commons who subscribe to cable television
services all channels required by Federal law, State of Minnesota statute, and local ordinance
(specifically, all local broadcast television channels; PEG access channels and the MCN6
Regional channel) at the channel assignments indicated by its current city-wide channel line-
up card.

Subject: Cable Franchising Standstill Agreement Waiver for Aquila Commons
Comcast will then be able to deliver any entryway security camera signals, provided by Aquila
Commons, over their signal cables to residents. This waiver would not bind Comcast to offer the
security camera, but it removes any barriers from the city for it to do so. Any business agreement
regarding the service will be solely between Comcast and Aquila Commons.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION:
None.
VISION CONSIDERATION:
Not applicable.
