Regular Meeting Public Hearing Action Item Consent Item Resolution Ordinance
Presentation Other:
EDA Meeting Action Item Resolution Other:
Study Session Discussion Item Written Report Other:
TITLE:
Community Residential Facility Licensing.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
At this time the City Attorney and staff recommend Council reconsider the need to proceed with an
ordinance establishing a Community Residential Facility License.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
Does the Council wish to proceed with the attached draft ordinance, develop a different license
proposal or take no further action?
BACKGROUND:
Earlier this year Council directed staff and the City Attorney to proceed with development of an
ordinance establishing conditions of licensing for several forms of residential housing services. Some
types of housing services are now licensed as rental property under our current program, with other
types of uses required to be licensed with the new ordinance. The intent being to create a more
specified licensing program to ensure integration of a variety of housing into city neighborhoods, in
addition to requirements that would more accurately focus on the type of use occurring.
DISCUSSION:
The attached draft ordinance was provided to residential facility operators and public attendees at
the two public meetings offered on October 7 and October 8. Each meeting was attended by
approximately a dozen interested participants, including facility owners, managers, residents and
community representatives for the disabled. The meetings generated significant sharing of
information and many comments expressing concerns. A public comment summary is attached
providing perspectives and concerns expressed.
These meeting discussions generated a further understanding of the number of various types of
housing services currently occurring. Besides the traditional licensed group home model, registered
housing with services, adult foster homes, transitional housing, group sobriety living, and other
supportive housing situations exist. Many of these are licensed or registered by the MN
Departments of Health or Human Services, in addition to those coordinated by Hennepin County.
With the variety of housing models in existence, the drafted ordinance could have the potential for
unintended consequences.
Meeting of December 1, 2008 (Item No. 2) Page 2
Subject: Community Residential Facility Licensing
Federal laws regarding disability and housing protection have been raised several times throughout
this process. As interpretations may vary, proceeding with the ordinance as currently drafted could
raise several challenges by disability groups. Minimum spacing distances, limitations on the number
of residents and requiring resident staffing are considered by some as discriminating since they are
not applied to the population in general.
The disability community strongly opposes any legislative change to allow cities to enforce spacing
for residential care facilities. To try and address these issues, the AMM and the LMC convened a
stakeholder group in August 2008 to create a broader coalition on the group home spacing issue.
The group has been meeting monthly to gain a better understanding of the needs of cities and of the
disabled community. City lobbyist Vic Moore is co-chair of the group and city staff are active
participants as this process continues.
Our public meetings in October on the draft ordinance were attended by some of the stakeholder
group members, and our ordinance would have become a significant issue had we proceeded with
adoption at that time.
Senator Ron Latz, Representative Ryan Winkler and Representative Steve Simon have worked with
St. Louis Park and Golden Valley about the need for cities to have the authority to establish spacing
for group homes with six or fewer residents. In state law, only cities of the first class have the
authority to address spacing.
Both Senator Latz and Representative Winkler introduced bills to amend the law in 2007, both of
which were referred to their appropriate committees but were not heard and there was not enough
support amongst legislators to push the bill forward.
The LMC is not pursuing any legislative changes that would give cities the ability to establish
minimum spacing requirements. However, there appears to be support for introducing legislation
that would require the state and county to notify the city when they have a new license or
registration application for a residential care facility. The cities, county, state and disability
community recognize that there is a need for better communication, and it appears that there would
be support to move such a bill forward.
City Attorney Tom Scott will be present at the Study Session to discuss the implications of
proceeding with this license category with Council.

Summary of Public Comments from Information Meetings
October 7th and 8th , 2008
Would those existing places who within a quarter mile of each other have to shut down or what?
Where did “live in staff” come in?
Is the City aware that new technology like First Alert and other systems that are tied into emergency
agencies, are in fact helping people to become more independent. Requiring a live in person would
seem to be going backwards.
Thank you for being informative and considering our comments. We also appreciate the spirit
behind which this language is being considered. You’re good stewards of the City.
The definition of state licensed facility talks about “usually for a limited period of time”. This is not
true of Adult Foster Care, usually live there long term – “till death”.
The proposed rule is unclear about who it applies to please clarify the writing.
How does this new proposed rule fit into the work of the Stakeholders Group meeting at the League
of MN Cities in St. Paul (which several of us are part of).
Our clients do not sign leases (Adult Foster Care).
Why are we considered “rental property” currently. My suggestion for Adult Foster Care is not to
require registration as anything other than Adult Foster Care and coordinate with county AFC
licenses to have your standards fall into their review.
I would delete staff requirement and 90 day average tenant stay.
In stead of mandating 24/7 staff at these programs, why not just require an on-call staff person. No
financially feasible to have 24 hour care.
The group home/non-statutory classification, does this apply to supportive housing program?
How would you monitor the average length of time for residents at each property?
Couldn’t you mandate leases to all tenants?
What do you mean by half-way house? The State of MN changed substance abuse rules and this is
not longer a category for chemical dependency.
Meeting of December 1, 2008 (Item No. 2) Page 9
Subject: Community Residential Facility Licensing
I am concerned about the section that states if the owner has a tenant who has to have the police
come out, then the owner might have to evict the tenant. What about medical issues and is it per
tenant or as a household?
The disorderly conduct section – has it been tested?
I understand the need for this ordinance, but what happens if a neighborhood does not like us and
calls the police, can this harm us in the future?
Has the City considered using the term “debilitative”? It is a term used in Florida to control the
number of supportive homes down there.
Why now?
If I am licensed with the State, would I need to register under the CFR program?
What do you consider “Health Services”? Is a cleaning service a health service? Feels this ordinance
may run into problems as discriminatory and violating rights of seniors and disabled people.
Is this necessary to write an ordinance or easier to just have the tenants sign an addendum without a
lease? Feels it is making it more difficult for disabled people to live a normal life. Do we have
statistics on how many calls we have received on proposed CRF?
Does this new ordinance apply to owner occupied residences?
If I’m disabled and want to have other disabled people live with me, would I have to be in this
program?
The ADA makes it easier for disabled to live normally. This ordinance makes it worse. Ninety day
limitation is required for disabled people, but not normal people? This is discrimination. Implies
the City wants to get rid of sober homes.
Minnesota law says six is defined as a family.
This proposed ordinance seems to run contrary to what the League of MN Cities is working on.
Do we understand that requiring the overnight help would cost people more and that cost might not
allow many residents to qualify for financial assistance if they had to include the cost of a live in
personnel.
If there are a lot of 911 calls, will the City be pulling the supportive housing license?
Do we have problems now and is this the reason why the City is drafting up this new category?
Meeting of December 1, 2008 (Item No. 2) Page 10
Subject: Community Residential Facility Licensing
Why do we need to change the type of license if we already are licensed as rentals?
Specifically, does this apply to Adult Foster Care?
So I deal with supportive housing, and if I were to work the system and I registered with the State,
then what I hear you telling us is that the ordinance would not apply, is that correct?
Perspectives or Meadowbrook – would they be rental or CRF?
Is this quarter mile thing in the County ordinance? Do you enforce it?
What about one service person who attends to several houses, is this ok?
Would this proposed ordinance with the owner being responsible for the tenants, is this something
just for the Community Residential Facilities homes or is it across the board?
Why the issue of the 90 days to retain residency? I don’t know about all, the homeless shelters, for
example, are less than 90 days. Many times, our programs pay for the non-residential treatment
facility they may not be there another 90 days or the balance of 90 days for our program. What do
we do with them now? Thirty days in our program and 60 days in a residential facility, which is
why you may see an increase with sober homes. Where do we place these people and not violate the
90 days. I’d rather see them stay for 90 more days.
The SLP Police and Fire have always been good and they have a good relationship with them and
want to continue to have these relations. I understand what you are trying to do and sober homes,
they probably need to have that communication with the neighborhoods. I can see the issues with
people coming and going, but to cast a net which will affect our homes which serve a purpose in the
communities, I think you need to revisit this proposed ordinance.

TITLE:
2008 IACP Community Policing Award.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
No formal action required. Todd Miller, Chair of the IACP Community Policing Committee, will
be present to congratulate our Mayor, City Council and community for the receipt of this award.
The IACP is the International Association of Chiefs of Police.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
None.
BACKGROUND:
During the past two years, the Police Department has worked cooperatively with other City
departments and our business and residential communities to develop and implement a strategy to
address the proliferation of graffiti in our community. As we began to have success with this
strategy, other communities in the metro area sought our assistance and the West Metro Graffiti
Group was created. This group currently consists of 11 cities.
Our City Information Resources staff developed a web-based graffiti data base called Graffiti.Net so
that graffiti information and intelligence could be shared in a fast and visual manner. Member
agencies are able to enter data into the system and utilize the mapping feature to view similar tags in
other communities, leading to aggregation of graffiti cases for prosecution. In 2008, the City has
seen an overall 60 percent reduction in reported graffiti incidents.
Our experience with graffiti clearly reflects the “broken windows” discussion of Kelling and Wilson
in the late 1980’s surrounding what it means to maintain order in a community and what level of
disorder a community will tolerate. While the IACP has presented this award to our Police
Department, it is the support and participation of our community that enables any community
policing initiative to achieve success.
We have invited representatives from other city departments including Information Resources,
Public Works, Parks and Recreation and Inspections to attend this Council meeting. We invited
them in recognition of the fact that we would not have received this award without them, and that
we are proud to share the award with them.

Subject: City Council Minutes October 27, 2008
3. Residential Survey Update- Vision
Mr. Harmening introduced the survey to Council by stating that the purpose of the survey is to
continue a check with our residents to see how we are doing on vision and being good stewards of
the public trust. It also gives us baseline data and a continual look on improvement of the city.
Following the introduction, Mr. Morris and Mr. Leatherman presented to the Council regarding the
proposed residential survey and process.
Councilmember Sanger inquired as to the questions that are being asked of the residents. Her
concern was that people may answer based on the current economic situation rather than the services
they would be interested in. Mr. Morris responded that they address this by scaling the response of
the answers like “strongly agree” and “agree”.
Councilmember Basill asked is a question should be included to get feedback from the entire
community on the excess land sale proceeds.
Councilmember Carver did not think this question was necessary on the survey because it will not
bring them to a better decision on the issue. They would not get any beneficial feedback because
there is so much background information in regard to this issue. Councilmember Sanger agreed with
Councilmember Carver, stating residents will not have a full background of information to give a
fully educated response.
Mayor Jacobs would like to add questions to the survey regarding how the City is doing in
encouraging business and jobs. Ms. Honold indicated that we would be doing a business survey
later on. He would also like to see questions to the residents on whether the City should be doing
something to keep up the property value of their homes.
Councilmember Sanger responded that there was a similar question on the survey five years ago. She
was hoping that they could add something on vacant houses and rental houses.
Mr. Harmening asked if questions number 67 and 68 adequately addressed vacant and rental homes.
The Council concurred that they did.
Councilmember Basill questioned the Council if they wanted to send out the survey at all. He does
think that the survey is important because you get feedback from the whole community rather than
a small group that could have a certain opinion on something.
Councilmember Sanger wanted to include a question regarding the Community Center. Mr.
Harmening responded that they have not discussed the idea enough to include it on the survey. He
suggested that when they have things further along a special survey could be sent out regarding a
Community Center idea.
Meeting of December 1, 2008 (Item No. 3c) Page 3
Subject: City Council Minutes October 27, 2008
Ms. Gothberg noted that there is room to add more questions to the survey if Council would like to
do so.
Councilmember Sanger would like to know when they will see the responses to the survey. Ms.
Gothberg responded that it would likely be in early January 2009.
Consensus of the Council was to move forward with the survey.
4. Excess Land Sale Proceeds
Mr. Harmening presented the report to the Council regarding the alternative proposals for how to
use the land sale proceeds. He questioned the Council if they would like to convene a task force.
Councilmember Carver was not in agreement to have a task force. Councilmember Sanger also
noted that she would not like to convene a task force and would like staff to itemize options of how
the proceeds could be used for Council consideration.
Mayor Jacobs questioned when they would like to have a decision on this. Councilmember
Paprocki noted that he would like to see the money used for public art at each of the light rail stops.
Councilmember Finkelstein felt that if the staff came back with four or five ideas of how the
proceeds could be used that the Council could then review the options and add to it. He wanted to
know if they could hold off on sending out the survey until they hear back from the staff.
Councilmember Basill noted that he would like to see public process used to resolve the issue of how
the proceeds will be used. Councilmember Sanger noted that she would like to see the Council have
some type of discussion, put together options, and then open it up to a public discussion.
Mayor Jacobs noted that a task force is a select group of people and he didn’t know if a task force
was necessary, but there had to be public process.
Councilmember Paprocki stated his concern that if a public forum is held the decision would be
made based on those resident’s opinions alone. He liked the idea of using a task force.
Councilmember Finkelstein does not like the idea of using a task force but would like to see a public
process. He would also like to have a special Council meeting or include questions on the survey.
He noted that the Council had agreed not to put the money in the general fund but to use it in the
community some way.
Councilmember Basill noted that he would only like to see this resolved with some form of public
process. He felt that the task force, a public meeting, and the survey would all be adequate public
processes. He felt that the survey could be a good option.
Meeting of December 1, 2008 (Item No. 3c) Page 4
Subject: City Council Minutes October 27, 2008
Councilmember Sanger questioned if there could be something on the City website where people
could give their suggestions and ideas.
Mayor Jacobs noted that they already have a task force, the Park and Recreation Advisory
Commission. He noted that staff could work with the Council and hold small public forums to get
suggestions.
Councilmember Sanger didn’t think that they would get a good turn out for public forums. She
suggested that Councilmembers bring it up when they speak at neighborhood meetings.
Mr. Harmening noted that they have good feedback from the visioning process and questioned
Council why residents felt that a task force was so important.
Mr. Basill assumed that it was because public land was sold and residents felt they should have a say
on how the money is used.
Councilmember Paprocki noted there are a lot of issues that they could address in a public forum. If
they had five ideas they could present them at an ice cream social and get the opinion of the
everyday citizen.
Mr. Harmening noted that they would develop broad categories of ideas. Councilmember Carver
would like staff to bring areas of consideration for how to use the proceeds. He felt that a task force
would bring expectations and is interested in using a public process that gives Council the right to
make the final decision. He felt that citizens need to stand up and take charge if they would like to
be heard on the issue. He would like the Council to use the information they have to indentify the
areas where the money could be used, and would like to see the proceeds used for a long-term
reinvestment in the City.
Councilmember Finkelstein would like staff to come back with five areas where they think the
proceeds could be used. He would then like Council to review the areas, narrow it down, and then
post the questions in the survey and on-line to get feedback from the residents. He would like a
public process to be used in the decision.
Councilmember Paprocki would like staff to come up with 20 or so ideas. The Council could then
narrow it down to five and those five would be presented to the residents to decide which ones they
would like to move forward.
Councilmember Basill noted that if they put the questionnaire on-line there is no limit to the
number of times that people can complete the survey. He would like to see questions included on
the mail survey. and felt that it would be a fair public process. Councilmember Carver would like to
call all people who are interested and let them know that they must be present to be heard.
Mayor Jacobs noted that he hears “no” on using a task force at this time.
Meeting of December 1, 2008 (Item No. 3c) Page 5
Subject: City Council Minutes October 27, 2008
Councilmember Sanger noted that there will not be enough background information to include this
question on the survey.
Councilmember Basill felt that the survey would be a nice alternative to get Citywide feedback.
Councilmember Paprocki noted that there has to be boundaries or they are going to be all over the
place. Councilmember Basill agreed that the Council needed to create boundaries. Councilmember
Paprocki questioned if this could fit into the winter retreat agenda. Mr. Harmening answered in the
affirmative.
Mr. Harmening noted that the survey would have to be delayed until the first of the year if they
were going to include these questions on the survey. Councilmember Basill questioned if they delay
the survey, would it delay anything else. Mr. Harmening responded no other items would be
delayed, but staff had hoped to use the results of the survey at the Council’s winter workshop.
Councilmember Carver felt there needed to be direction from the Council as to how the money
could be used and it had to be something that benefited the entire City. Councilmember Sanger
would like to send out the survey as it is and would not like to include questions on excess land sale
proceeds.
Councilmember Omodt thought he heard from the neighborhoods that they were expecting the
money would go directly into their neighborhoods and not to the entire City. He noted that the
school used an open on-line survey and this would be an option for the City to get feedback.
Mayor Jacobs noted that they would have to control how many times a person is allowed to vote on
an on-line survey. Mr. Harmening noted that it appeared a majority of the Council felt that this
item should not be included on the survey. He further indicated the consensus of the Council was
for staff to come back with ideas on how to use the land sale proceeds and a public process could be
developed from there.
5. Financial Policies
Mr. DeJong presented to the Council regarding the new and updated financial policies in
preparation for the upcoming bond sale and bond rating review. Staff is proposing that the updated
policies be formally adopted at the November 3rd City Council meeting.
Councilmember Sanger questioned if this would affect the bonds the City would be considering in a
couple of weeks. Mr. DeJong confirmed that it would.
Mr. DeJong presented to the Council how the City currently fares in each of the following seven
areas: revenue and expenditure assumptions, budget amendments and updates, long-term financial
planning, long-term capital planning, debt management policies, and reserve and liquidity policies.
It was the consensus of the Council to move forward with the recommendations of the staff.

8b. First Reading of Zoning Ordinance Amendments relating to Communication
Towers and Antennas
Mr. Harmening explained in order to provide fair public process, staff requested Council to
refer the proposed ordinance to the Planning Commission for review and public comment,
with a November 19th public hearing date.
It was moved by Councilmember Finkelstein, seconded by Councilmember Basill, to
continue First Reading of Ordinance and refer the proposed ordinance to the Planning
Commission for review and public comment.

8c. Zoning Ordinance Amendments for Institutional Uses in Residential Districts
Ms. McMonigal presented the staff report.
It was moved by Councilmember Sanger, seconded by Councilmember Omodt, to adopt
First Reading of Zoning Ordinance amendments to require conditional use permits (CUP’s)
for institutional uses in residential zoning districts and set second reading for November 17,
2008.
Councilmember Sanger stated that she felt the land uses could generate a lot of traffic, noise,
and parking concerns that could be disruptive to surrounding neighborhoods. She stated
that by having the CUP process, it would allow for public process on concerns and how best
to shape the project and as a result, they would become better projects.
Councilmember Paprocki felt the current zoning includes requirements for traffic feeding
into major arterial and minimizing the impact to local roads and setbacks, further stating it
could be handled a different way. He further stated he would be opposing and felt this
wouldn’t impact larger schools, but would impact the smaller schools. Councilmember
Paprocki also stated concern with added staff costs.
Councilmember Finkelstein stated he would also be opposing the ordinance, further stating
it would create bad precedent and unintentional consequence with added workload on the
Planning Commission, staff and Council.
Councilmember Omodt stated he felt open forum discussions create a better end result.

Councilmember Finkelstein stated his concern was about the policy issue and questioned
what kind of precedence they would be establishing for the future.
Councilmember Sanger felt that this process would ensure the applicant spends time in
advance on their project planning, further stating that pre-planning may not affect the cost
and/or create red tape. Councilmember Sanger also stated it would require and encourage
the applicant to talk with the neighbors. She stated that in the future she would be open to
discuss possible amendments for smaller schools.
Councilmember Paprocki stated he would look into options on amendments for smaller
schools. He further stated he didn’t believe it would be a huge increase in work, but felt they
were going in the wrong direction for budget purposes. Councilmember Paprocki also stated
his disappointment that the four institutions had not yet been contacted about the proposed
amendments.
Councilmember Basill suggested taking the expanded list to a study session for further
discussion.
Councilmember Sanger stated the list was expanded by a suggestion and also noted that
public institutions have gone through public process, they would just labeled in the CUP
process.
Councilmember Basill stated they should be cautious with the expanded list.
Mr. Locke explained the premise of a CUP requirement. He suggested the process would
not be a significant amount of extra time for staff.
Ms. McMonigal stated that staff included more uses than initially planned.
Councilmember Omodt felt this would be a good way to keep people honest.
Mayor Jacobs stated as far as costs and staff and applicant time, he didn’t believe the impact
would be all that much. He also liked the idea of looking at options for smaller schools.
The motion passed 4-2-0. Councilmember Paprocki and Councilmember Finkelstein

TITLE:
Second Reading of an Ordinance to Amend the City Charter.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to Approve Second Reading of Ordinance to amend the St. Louis Park Home Rule Charter: Table of
Contents, Chapters 3, 5, and Index and set publication (7 affirmative votes required).
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
Does the City Council wish to amend the Table of Contacts, Chapters 3 (Section 3.10), 5 (Section 5.06) and
Index of the St. Louis Park Home Rule Charter, as recommended by the Charter Commission?
BACKGROUND:
On November 17, 2008, Council held the public hearing and approved first reading of the ordinance without
change. Council set second reading of the ordinance for December 1, 2008. If approved, amendments to the
Charter will be effective 90 days after publication.
At the Charter Commission meeting on September 10, 2008, Charter Commissioners unanimously voted to
recommend that the City Council pass an ordinance amending Sections 3.10 and 5.06 of the St. Louis Park
City Charter. Amendments are as follows:
Section 3.10 requires the city to recodify the City Code every ten years. The City Clerk’s office updates
the Code whenever ordinances are adopted, amended or repealed in a timely manner and keeps these
records electronically. While this section may have been needed in earlier years, with electronic
recordkeeping, this section is not necessary.
Section 5.06 requires the City Council to award contracts to the lowest responsible bidder. In recent
years, the State Legislature has amended contract laws to include best value contracting, which considers
other factors than just price. The proposed amendment, if adopted, would give the Council the ability to
use best value contracting in the future.

TITLE:
Second Reading of Ordinance Amendment Relating to Water Service Disconnections.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to Adopt Second Reading of Ordinance amending Section 32-38 of the City Code, approve
summary, and authorize publication.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
Does the City Council wish to amend City Ordinance Section 32-38 to provide the Public Works Director
with stated authority to discontinue water services to vacant and uninhabitable properties that are not
properly heated during the winter months?
BACKGROUND:
On November 17, 2008, Council approved first reading of the water service disconnections ordinance
without change and set second reading for December 1, 2008.
City staff has discussed the need with Council to disconnect water service at properties that are not
sufficiently heated during the winter months. While shutting off the water at the curb stop will not prevent
water trapped in pipes in the home from expanding and breaking the pipe, it will prevent catastrophic water
damage to the property.
The city has the broad authority through the City Code and state law to disconnect water service to protect
property and the city’s public water supply. However, City Attorney Roger Knutson recommends that
section 32-38 of the water services Code be amended to give the Public Works Director stated authority to
shut-off water service at the stop box to protect private property and the public water supply between October
and April. The proposed language is similar to what other communities are adopting.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to Approve S & S Tree and Horticulture, Inc. as the 2009 Boulevard Tree Pruning
Contractor.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
Does Council wish to continue to have the City undertake boulevard tree pruning in 2009?
BACKGROUND:
2009 will be our fifth year of contract rotation boulevard tree pruning. The goal of this contract is
to increase the safety, health and function of all boulevard trees by removing low branches, removing
deadwood and eliminating future impediments to growth. This contract only covers boulevard
trees. Trees on Parks and City-owned property are rotationally pruned by Parks Maintenance Staff.
S & S Tree and Horticulture, Inc. successfully performed the 2004 boulevard tree pruning contract
for the City of St. Louis Park.
Beginning on approximately January 5 and continuing until March 31, 2009, this contractual
rotational pruning will be performed, beginning in the Aquila Neighborhood and continuing into
and through the Cobblecrest Neighborhood. This rotational pruning keeps our cyclical tree
maintenance on an eight to nine year rotation.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION:
On November 19, 2008, this contract was let for bid with six companies submitting proposals for
this service. S & S Tree and Horticulture, Inc. presented the lowest responsible bid.
The bid results, based upon specifications for a two person crew with adequate equipment on a per
hour basis, are:
S & S Tree and Horticultural Specialists, Inc..........................$ 80.00 per hour
Shadywood Tree Experts, Inc..................................................$ 82.00 per hour

Subject: 2009 Tree Pruning Contract
Since this contract is not to exceed $60,000, S & S Tree and Horticulture, Inc. will continue to
prune boulevard trees until they reach the $60,000 contract amount. As in the past, staff will closely
monitor the contractual obligations and work of the contractor.
VISION CONSIDERATION:
St. Louis Park’s overall outdoor and built environment is clean, green, healthy, safe, and aesthetically
pleasing. Community members are responsible stewards of the environment and realize their actions
today influence the greater ecology inherited by future generations.

TITLE:
Amendment to Contract No. 118-08 for Special Assessment for Fire Suppression Sprinkler System.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to Amend Contract No. 118-08 from the original fire suppression sprinkler special assessment of
$71,785.00 and administrative fee of $359.00 to a revised amount of $89,026.00 and administrative fee
of $445.13 at 4838-4850 35th Street, St. Louis Park, MN.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
This action is consistent with a policy the Council established in 1995.
BACKGROUND:
Beltline Three LLC, owner(s) of the commercial building 4838-4850 35th Street, have requested the City
to authorize the installation of an automatic fire suppression sprinkler system for the commercial
building and assess the cost against the property in accordance with the City’s special assessment policy.
ANALYSIS:
The special assessment policy for installation of automatic fire sprinkler systems in existing buildings was
adopted by the City Council in 1995. The City promotes the installation of fire suppression sprinkler
systems and facilitates their installation to promote the general public health, safety and welfare within
the community.
The Building Code requires the installation of a fire sprinkler system due to major remodeling project of
the building. The property owner will be hiring a contractor to install the sprinkler system throughout
the building and bring it up to compliance with the current code. Based on the proposed work, the
system qualifies for the City’s special assessment program. The property owner has petitioned the City
to authorize the installation of the fire sprinkler system and special assess the cost of the installation.
Sprinkler plans have been submitted and approved by City staff. The total eligible cost of the installation
has been determined to be $89,026.00. An administrative fee of $445.13 shall be received prior to the
release of the special assessment funds.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION:
Staff has determined that adequate funds are available through the Permanent Improvement Revolving
Fund to assist with this project.

TITLE:
Special Assessment Agreement for traffic control signal and intersection improvements related to the
property at 3555 State Highway 100.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to Approve the Public Improvement and Special Assessment Agreement and authorize the
Mayor and City Manager to execute the agreement.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
The proposed action is consistent with policy previously established by the City Council.
BACKGROUND:
PBK Investments (7 & 41 LLC) completed the purchase of the former Planet Ford site (3555 State
Highway 100) in early 2008. They have requested that the City make improvements to the traffic
control signal and the intersection at 36th Street West and Park Center Boulevard and assess the cost
of the improvements against the property in accordance with the City’s special assessment policy.
Analysis
The site, formerly an auto dealership (Planet Ford) is currently undergoing modifications. The
building on the site is being substantially remodeled for conversion to an LA Fitness. A fitness
center use is permitted by the Zoning Ordinance and requires a building permit to allow
construction.
The proposed improvements to the intersection will enable full access to and from the site at 36th
Street West. At the present time it is possible only to enter the site from 36th Street. Exiting to 36th
Street is not possible; the access drive is too narrow. To improve the access drive, PBK Investments
will be responsible for widening it on the site; the City would be responsible for widening it directly
at the intersection. The only current method for exiting the site is off 35th Street West to the north
of the site. Following the improvements, exiting from the site onto 36th Street West will also be
possible.
Engineering plans for the proposed improvements have not been completed. Following approval of
the Public Improvement and Special Assessment Agreement, engineering for the proposed
improvements will be completed and a more accurate cost estimate will be available for the work. At
that time a resolution to establish a special assessment for the property, including the final cost
estimates, will be brought forward to the Council.
Meeting of December 1, 2008 (Item No. 4f) Page 2
Subject: Special Assessment |Agreement for traffic control signal and intersection improvements related to the property
at 3555 State Highway 100
A copy of the Public Improvement and Special Assessment Agreement, drafted by the City Attorney,
is attached. The agreement requires PBK to pay for all the engineering and legal costs associated
with this project. It also requires a $50,000 letter of credit to ensure that PBK makes its special
assessment payments once the street improvements are completed and the assessments begin.
Additional approvals
Although the City will complete the work related to the intersection, there is additional site work
necessary to make it a full access intersection. The site’s topography results in the need for a
substantial amount of fill to be brought into the site to expand what is currently only an entrance.
To widen the driveway, approximately 13,000 cubic yards of fill will be added to the site. Because
this amount is over 400 cubic yards, a Conditional Use Permit for fill is required.
The work to modify the existing building to a LA Fitness is on-going; only a building permit was
required for that part of the site. PBK Investments has submitted an application for the Conditional
Use Permit (CUP) for fill. Staff is currently reviewing the application to determine its completeness.
If complete, a public hearing before the Planning Commission would tentatively take place
December 17th.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION:
The City has funds in place to finance the cost of this special assessment.
VISION CONSIDERATION:

with the City $10,000.00 to be applied to payment of all costs incurred by the City in conjunction
with the development of The Project plans and specification, preparation of contract document and
bidding. If such costs exceed $10,000.00 the Developer shall, upon demand by the City, pay such
additional costs to the City within ten (10) days of such demand or the City will cease work on The
Project, and provided further that the amount by which this deposit exceeds the City's actual costs,
if any, shall be returned to the Developer.
3. DEVELOPER APPROVALS. After the plans and specifications are prepared, the
Developer must approve them in writing or The Project will be abandoned. Subsequent modifications
or changes to the plans and specifications that do not change the overall scope of The Project are not
subject to approval by the Developer. If the Developer approves the Plans and Specifications the City

final assessment amount will be based on actual costs. The assessment shall be deemed adopted on the
date this Agreement is signed by the City. The assessment shall be paid over an 8-year period without
deferment, together with interest at an annual rate of five point eight five percent (5.85 %) per year on
the unpaid balance. The Developer waives any and all procedural and substantive objections to the
installation of the public improvement and the special assessment, including but not limited to hearing
requirements and any claim that the assessment exceeds the benefit to the property. The Developer
waives any appeal rights otherwise available pursuant to M.S.A. § 429.081.
5. SECURITY. To guarantee timely payment of special assessments, the Developer shall
furnish the City with a letter of credit, in the form attached hereto, from a bank ("Security") for
$50,000.00. The bank shall be subject to the approval of the City Manager. If any installment of
special assessments is not paid in full when due, and in any event before any penalty is attached, the
City may draw upon the Security to pay off the balance, whether due or not, on all special assessments
imposed pursuant to this Agreement. With City approval the Security may be reduced from time to
time as special assessments are paid. If the City has cause to believe that the Security may lapse prior to
the end of the required term, the City may also draw down the Security.

Gambling Premise Permit for Hopkins Raspberry Festival Association.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to Approve Resolution authorizing a gambling Premises Permit for Hopkins Raspberry
Festival Association, Inc., operating at Laredo’s, 4656 Excelsior Boulevard.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
Does the Council wish to approve a gambling premises permit for Hopkins Raspberry Festival
Association to operate pull tabs at Laredo’s located at 4656 Excelsior Boulevard?
BACKGROUND:
The Hopkins Raspberry Festival Association has submitted an application for a Gambling Premises
Permit to conduct lawful gambling operations in the form of pull-tabs inside Laredo’s restaurant,
4656 Excelsior Boulevard in St. Louis Park. This organization has operated in the City since April
of 2002. The premises permit tentative start date is December 8, 2008 and the duration will
continue through December 31, 2009. Days and hours for the lawful gambling operations are
tentatively planned to consist of Monday through Sunday from 5:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m.
The Hopkins Raspberry Festival Association currently operates lawful gambling sales in two
locations; one in St. Louis Park at Al’s Bar, and one in Hopkins at Decoy’s. Because of the pending
sale of the Al’s Bar property located at 3912 Excelsior Boulevard, the Hopkins Raspberry Festival felt
it was necessary to locate another site in order to continue their support to St. Louis Park. As a
platinum sponsor to the Parktacular celebration in St. Louis Park, the Association donated $4,000 in
May of 2008 and an additional $4,500 is scheduled to be paid in December. Therefore, a total of
$8,500 will have been donated to Parktacular from their 2008 gambling proceeds received at the Al’s
Bar location.
All current requirements for issuance of the license have been met. The Police Department has
conducted a background investigation on the organization, its officers and related personnel and
found no past issues/concerns with legal pull-tab sales at this location.
Should the City Council approve the application, the resolution of approval will be forwarded to the
State Gambling Control Board who is responsible for issuing the license permit.

TITLE:
Consultant Contract - Highway 7 / Louisiana Avenue Interchange Project - Project No. 2012-0100.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to Approve Contract with Short Elliott Hendrickson, (SEH), Inc. for engineering
consulting services for the Highway 7 / Louisiana Avenue Interchange Project - Project No. 2012-
0100.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
City Council approval is required for contracts that exceed $100,000. This contract is necessary to
forward this project towards construction.
BACKGROUND:
History
The City’s Capital Improvement Program (C.I.P.) indentifies the T.H. 7/Louisiana Avenue
intersection as a priority improvement project. The proposed project will provide for the
construction of a grade-separated interchange at Louisiana Avenue and T.H. 7. The project would
also include pedestrian and bicycle friendly improvements along with re-configuration of the
frontage roads in order to improve access, safety, and traffic flow for both the T.H. 7 corridor and
Louisiana Avenue. This proposed improvement is essential in meeting the transportation and safety
needs of both Mn/DOT and the City.
In addition to high commuter usage (congestion) in the T.H. 7 corridor, the T.H. 7/Louisana
intersection experiences many other traffic and safety related problems. Louisiana Avenue serves as a
vital north-south corridor through the City, carrying anywhere from 10,000 to 15,000 vehicles per
day at this location and T.H. 7 carries 35,000 to 40,000 vehicles per day through this intersection.
The close configuration of the frontage roads to T.H. 7 and the heavy traffic generation of properties
in close proximity to the intersection (including Methodist Hospital and Sam’s Club) add to the
intersection’s congestion.
This intersection has also been identified as a higher safety priority concern for Mn/DOT. Despite
recent signal timing modifications by Mn/DOT to the T.H. 7 corridor, the T.H. 7/Louisiana
intersection still experiences significant delays during the peak traffic periods. In addition, traffic
studies for potential future re-development activities, a future LRT Station nearby, and hospital
expansions have determined that this T.H. 7/Louisiana improvement is a critical element in meeting
the future transportation needs in this area.
Meeting of December 1, 2008 (Item No. 4h) Page 2
Subject: Consultant Contract - Highway 7 / Louisiana Avenue Interchange Project - Project No. 2012-0100
T.H. 7 also creates a barrier for bicycles and pedestrians wishing to cross at Louisiana Avenue. A
separated grade interchange will provide opportunities for pedestrians and bicyclists to safely cross
the T.H. 7 corridor in order to link with destinations such as Louisiana Oaks Park, the Cedar Lake
LRT Trail, and transit facilities, including a proposed future light rail station at Louisiana Avenue.
Because of the needed traffic and safety improvements listed above, staff submitted an application in
July 2007 for Federal funds through the State’s Surface Transportation Program administered by the
Metropolitan Council. In, February 2008, staff was successful in obtaining $7,630,000 in federal
funds for this project.
Professional Services
Staff solicited proposals from three consulting engineer firms to perform all the work needed in
developing plans for constructing a grade separated interchange at Louisiana Avenue and Highway 7.
A selection committee comprised of city staff, (3 Public Works, 1 Community Development) and a
Mn/DOT representative choose the consulting firm of SEH, Inc.
SEH, Inc. has developed a work plan that includes four phases. Phase 1 includes scoping and data
collection, Phase 2 includes concept design and alternatives analysis, Phase 3 includes preliminary
design and environmental assessment, and Phase 4 includes final design, right-of-way acquisition
and bidding documents.
The initial contract agreement will be for work on Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the work plan (attached)
as these two phases are interrelated and work should progress on some tasks in each phase
simultaneously.
Project Schedule
A preliminary schedule is attached for all four phases of work. Phases 1 and 2 of the contract will
begin immediately and are scheduled for completion by July, 2009.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION:
Estimated Contract Cost
A Proposal from SEH, Inc. dated November 21, 2008 estimates the cost for the work in Phase 1 and
Phase 2 at $306,548.00. All work performed under this contract is paid for on a time and materials
basis. The initial source of funding for this work/project is undetermined at this time. Various
funding methods were discussed with Council at the November 24th study session. This project will
be expensed to the Streets Capital Projects fund to be reimbursed in the future possibly by one or
more of the following funding options: HRA Levy, GO bond or MSA funding.
Contract Terms
The following terms are incorporated into this contract:
1. Phase 1 and 2 contract work is scheduled for completion by the end of July, 2009.
2. Compensation is based on actual work performed with a maximum contract amount of
$306,548.00
3. SEH, Inc. has independent contractor status.
Meeting of December 1, 2008 (Item No. 4h) Page 3
Subject: Consultant Contract - Highway 7 / Louisiana Avenue Interchange Project - Project No. 2012-0100
4. City may terminate this contract with seven (7) days notice.
The document utilized for this contract is the City’s standard professional services agreement
developed by the City Attorney.
VISION CONSIDERATION:
The following Strategic Direction and focus area has been identified by Council.
St. Louis Park is committed to being a connected and engaged community.
Focus will be on:
• Promoting regional transportation issues and related dedicated funding sources
affecting St. Louis Park including but not limited to Hwy. 100 and SWLRT.

Sean Walther, Senior Planner, presented the staff report.
Dean Dovolis, DJR Architecture, spoke about the neighborhood process, which included
seven meetings. A variety of issues were discussed from height to traffic flow, accessibility,
etc. They were able to accomplish a lot of things, yet some they weren’t able to because of
site constraints. He reviewed the site plan and discussed the classes of materials used. They
worked to make it a part of the community and give it interest. They balanced the amount
of retail, parking and residential units. There is interest in a restaurant component with
Meeting of December 1, 2008 (Item No. 4m) Page 2
Subject: Planning Commission Minutes November 5, 2008
outdoor dining for part of the project. They were working with the city on public art at the
public plaza space. He also reviewed the project landscaping and making it a neighborhood
gateway. They intend to provide strong visuals where France Avenue ends to show it is a
residential area. They also created a buffer from the neighborhood with a fence and
landscaping on both sides.
Commissioner Person asked about the fence height.
Mr. Dovolis replied it will be eight feet.
Commissioner Carper noted one of the problems with previous commercial residential
developments had been commercial access for deliveries. He asked what is being provided
for the businesses here and for semi-trailers and large vehicles.
Mr. Walther replied there is a loading area for quick deliveries off of Excelsior Boulevard or
drop off for the apartment building.
Mr. Dovolis showed the designated loading area for the longer term and commercial
deliveries.
Commissioner Carper asked if a large vehicle could circulate through the lot.
Mr. Dovolis responded yes. Analysis was done to show the parking area would allow semis
and fire trucks to maneuver.
Commissioner Carper asked about the northwest portion of the building. If there were
vehicles parking there, was there enough of a drive aisle to handle a larger vehicle unloading
and have traffic pass through?
Mr. Dovolis replied there was enough of a drive aisle explaining it is a two-way, 60-foot wide
lot and 24 foot drive aisle from Excelsior.
Commissioner Morris asked about the drive aisle from Excelsior and if it would only
accommodate short trailers.
Paula Merrigan, project architect, replied it would be for short trailers. They didn’t believe
the restaurant or retail uses would need full size semis.
Commissioner Morris asked if they could guarantee there would be no vehicle maneuvering
on Excelsior Boulevard backing into or out of that drive.
Mr. Dovolis replied there wouldn’t be vehicle maneuvering on Excelsior Boulevard from that
drive.
Meeting of December 1, 2008 (Item No. 4m) Page 3
Subject: Planning Commission Minutes November 5, 2008
Commissioner Morris asked if there would be traffic parking on Excelsior in front of the
units.
Mr. Walther replied there was no on street parking proposed.
Commissioner Morris asked what was anticipated to be the width of the boulevard and
sidewalk along the Excelsior frontage.
Mr. Walther replied it would be six feet of landscaped area from the sidewalk to the curb, a
seven foot sidewalk and a five foot distance to the building wall, which would include some
encroachments with the front decks and the stairway access to the sidewalk.
Commissioner Morris asked if it would be Class I material or hardy plank and stucco above
the first floor.
Mr. Dovolis replied it was hardy plank covered with stucco. It is a wood framed building
above the first floor and with traditional stucco with wood there is settlement and cracking,
so they were using a hardy plank that had a stucco appliqué. That is considered a Class II
material. It has the same look as stucco, but the longevity would be better.
Ms. Merrigan added that it would be panels with joints and there would be detailing at the
joints. There are a lot of problems and lawsuits with stucco and hardy has become the
preferred material in the building industry for a number of reasons. There will be controlled
joints, with a metal detail.
Chair Robertson stated the detail was more of a reveal rather than a baton type and sounded
good. He asked about the shading studies.
Mr. Walther replied the ordinance has very specific standards for deciding when shadow is a
problem. The applicant has produced a shadow study, which is an overall view of the winter
months when it would impact the neighboring properties. The ordinance creates a time
period criteria where they are allowed to cover more than 50% of the building elevation of a
neighboring property. He further reviewed the studies.
Chair Robertson felt the study for the month of December looked a little dark. He asked if
it differentiates between what is house and what is garage or does the ordinance address it as
an entire structure?
Mr. Walther replied he believed the garage wasn’t shown, it was the house.
Commissioner Johnston-Madison asked about views of what the neighbors would see
looking back at the building.
Meeting of December 1, 2008 (Item No. 4m) Page 4
Subject: Planning Commission Minutes November 5, 2008
Mr. Walther showed the back view, and said there was no view from the houses to the
project.
Commissioner Carper inquired with the increase in home heating costs and the attempt of
various types of construction to take advantage of capturing solar heat, was there any idea of
additional costs for the houses that would be shaded?
Mr. Walther replied no.
Chair Robertson opened the public hearing.
Susan Williams, 3405 Glenhurst, indicated she owns a house in the shadow of the project.
Her home is built with all of the windows on the south side and the sun warms her house,
especially in the winter. She was concerned about project height and shadowing.
Chair Robertson asked for clarification that shading would be not more than 60% of the
house for not more than two hours.
Meg McMonigal, Planning and Zoning Supervisor, read from the ordinance, “All buildings
shall be located so that the structure does not cast a shadow that covers more than 50% of
another building wall for a period greater than two hours between 9 AM and 3 PM, for more
than sixty days of the year.” That would need to be two hours per day, more than sixty days
of the year.
Chair Robertson clarified that was per wall, not per building. They might need to look at
that a little better.
Brian Johnson, 3345 Glenhurst, president of the Minikahda Oaks neighborhood association,
stated he and a large part of the neighborhood were not opposed to the building or
developer, but the height was a major concern and they were not on board with the project
only because of that. The neighbors had made requests to the development team to step
back the building on the north end, to lower the building height in general, and to turn the
windows of the building so they were not looking over the neighborhood. He understood
the cost issue. The concern is the neighbors right next to this property. If the developer’s
cost was a concern, he requested the Commission consider increasing the TIF to make up for
those costs. He didn’t believe all of the solutions had been explored and that stepping the
building back on the north end of the building was a viable option. He would like to have an
answer why the proposed height, especially on that end of building was necessary. Aquila
Commons was initially proposed to be four stories all the way around. The neighbors
abutting it were 60 feet or more away and fought enough that over half the building was
dropped a floor. He didn’t see other mixed use developments this close to single family. He
was afraid of what it could do to surrounding property values. They wanted to discuss the
height issue further. There are 78 homes in the neighborhood and the majority feel the same
way about the height.
Meeting of December 1, 2008 (Item No. 4m) Page 5
Subject: Planning Commission Minutes November 5, 2008
Commissioner Morris asked if four floors were acceptable, but five was too high.
Mr. Johnson replied he looked at the guidelines that were established for the neighborhood
in 2005. The mix was between three and four stories. He understood that wasn’t possible
economically, but the request to step the building back a little against the neighborhood side
hadn’t been fully explored and he felt that would help the shadowing on the neighbors.
Paul Ticen, 3404 France, said he is the owner of a home in the shadow of the building. He
asked if the shading ordinance described any building being hit by a shadow for two hours or
a wall of a building.
Mr. Walther replied the zoning ordinance states wall. As applied for this project and the
shadow study, they used the south elevation of the property for describing the percentage of
the shadow on the building. He displayed the drawings. Staff could ask the project
architects to provide a calculation to confirm that it meets the ordinance requirements. A
detached garage would not likely count.
Mr. Ticen asked how tall the fence would be.
Mr. Walther replied six feet on the residential side, eight feet on the project side.
Lisa Wyatt, 3333 Huntington, commented any larger trucks making deliveries would come
from the east, which would be hard because there was no direct access from the west. There
is a boulevard. She asked if there would be U-turns at France and Excelsior and expressed
concerns about the light.
Mr. Walther replied that SRF Consulting conducted a traffic study and did not find there
would be issues. He could have them address that question.
Chair Robertson asked if signal timing could be adjusted for different traffic.
Ms. McMonigal replied yes, the signal timing could be adjusted.
Ellen Anderson, 3336 Glenhurst, followed up on Mr. Johnson’s comments about the
density, the height and the transition. The development team was wonderful to work with,
but where they ran into an issue they couldn’t resolve regards stepping it back and finding a
creative way to get the five stories in areas so the developer gets the views and has more of a
transition. It would be like Trader Joe’s for 120 feet and it would feel like a canyon. She
asked why they have to have that much commercial on that size of property. She asked
where is there creativity to take away some of the public space in the front and give them the
option to create something slightly different in the back. There is the issue of shadow and
the sense of human scale. Ms. Anderson asked how do they make that transition and make it
work for everybody.
Meeting of December 1, 2008 (Item No. 4m) Page 6
Subject: Planning Commission Minutes November 5, 2008
Leah Meyer, 3401 Huntington, stated that she generally favored the development, but had
concerns about the height. It would be helpful to have diagrams from the perspective of how
the house sits next to the six-story building. Public transportation was a concern and the bus
stop is currently in the location of the proposed loading zone.
Mr. Walther believed there was sufficient space for the bus stop to be located so it would not
be in the pull out area.
Ms. Meyer had concerns about the location of the bus stop and congestion. Residents will
be moving in and out and often the van lines have large trailers and that traffic was a
concern.
Maria Hanft, 3400 Huntington, stated she was sympathetic to the neighbors. It was a lovely
development and would be a good thing for St. Louis Park if they could solve some of the
issues.
Chair Robertson closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Morris stated the primary issue was the height. He remembered the
neighborhood plan and asked if the proposal for a five-story building was in conflict with the
Comprehensive Plan by Neighborhood.
Ms. McMonigal said she thought he was referring to the Development Guidelines that were
created. She stated the guidelines were not fully adopted into the Comprehensive Plan, they
were referred to in the Comprehensive Plan.
Commissioner Morris noted the issue of traffic. Large delivery vehicles can use the rear
parking lot and come around. There are other ways for traffic to get there. There may be
some maneuvering, but large and mid-size vehicle access to the site seems to be there without
impacting the traffic pattern. It would be an excellent plan if the developer were to put in a
bus shelter, rather than just accommodating a stop. He was not in favor of the reduction in
materials for the site or the variances for the utility easements. He viewed the Excelsior
portion of the site to be very forced right to the edge of the sidewalk. They spoke about
townhouses and developments where they are set back and there is more of a yard. The ten-
foot utility easement provides that. It also provides for the utilities that are underground.
There would still be cabinets and rather than seeing them on the boulevard, they could go in
the green space of the drainage utility between the sidewalk edge and the front of the
building. Commissioner Morris added that aesthetically it would look nicer and it would
not be much of a hardship to use Class I materials.
Commissioner Kramer agreed there should be a formal bus stop. He didn’t like that the rear
of the bus was almost in the intersection. It should be moved an adequate distance west on
Excelsior boulevard, which is a concern with the moving van area. The space was
Meeting of December 1, 2008 (Item No. 4m) Page 7
Subject: Planning Commission Minutes November 5, 2008
inadequately sized for rush hour moving and deliveries. Regarding height, he was
sympathetic to the shadowing and would like to have the developer consider finessing that
side of the building to help alleviate the shadowing.
Commissioner Johnston-Madison stated this presented a dilemma for her. It was one of the
best projects that had come forward for this property. She hoped there would be a stepping
back of that part of the building. She knew it would cost more money, but asked if they had
looked at stepping the building back.
Mr. Dovolis replied they had looked at that a lot. There were multiple issues created by that,
so they left more space surrounding the building. St. Louis Park’s shadow ordinance is one
of the more conservative. When the shadow occurs, it is a two-hour shadow that occurs
moving through. It is not like the house is in shadows all winter, all the time. The edge was
established to protect that. A lot of consideration went into how that was set. The stepping
was difficult because it didn’t gain them anything aesthetically and it didn’t do a lot to the
view. The six-foot fence and the trees would shadow the houses. If shadows were an issue,
the coniferous trees should be replaced. They felt that compacting the building and making
it five stories was better than spreading it out longer across the site. They used the geometry
to breaks up the façades, which helped reduce impact and view. They changed it from four
units to three units facing the neighbors. They could give up the plaza, but losing that
would make it feel tight.
Commissioner Kramer asked on the shadow diagram, was it going up the wall, just at the
foundation, on the roof, where was it exactly?
Mr. Dovolis replied the shadow moves past the building and showed the worst case, for two
hours the whole façade would be covered. It fell all the way onto the adjoining house for
two hours, for less than sixty days. He showed the portion of the building that the shadow
was coming from. To alleviate that issue, they would lose a whole floor.
Chair Robertson agreed with Commissioner Kramer about the shading issue versus the
massing. It would be educational to construct 3-D views including the vegetation between
where the viewer would be and the building. If the modeling was accurate and met the
criteria, then he was comfortable with it. Regarding Class I materials, from what they were
proposing with the panelized stucco, it visually looked like stucco, which was Class I. He
had a hard time with designing to ratios. If the design evolved and wants to be slightly
different than a ratio they put together, but they had shown it was exceptional design to get
there, he was comfortable relaxing it. It was not like they were asking to substitute vinyl
siding for Class I material. It was a different method of applying stucco. As far as the
building height, as a gateway building, he liked the massing of the building from the
Excelsior side, but was sympathetic with how it approached the residential side. It severely
impacts only a couple of house, but they needed to pay attention to those houses. Any views
they could show to demonstrate that and provide better and accurate views of what they
Meeting of December 1, 2008 (Item No. 4m) Page 8
Subject: Planning Commission Minutes November 5, 2008
would see would be helpful. He requests this be done with three different motions because
they were different issues.
Commissioner Kramer said he was excited about the design and was pleased that the
developer had done good design elsewhere and worked well with the neighborhood. It
showed great cooperation. He would go forward with the applications and had confidence
knowing that both sides were honorable and reputable.
Commissioner Carper stated he had a problem with the proposal. It was the best one they
had seen in the area and he was encouraged by it, however the flaws were that the shading
study was not an accurate representation of real life and the size of the building compared
with the adjacent to homes.
Commissioner Person noted that the 60-foot height and the shadowing meet the
requirements of the mixed zone.
Commissioner Person made a motion to recommend approval of the rezoning, subject to
conditions recommended by staff. Commissioner Morris seconded the motion, and the
motion passed on a vote of 6-1 (Carper opposed).
Commissioner Morris made a motion to recommend approval of the Preliminary Planned
Unit Development (PUD), subject to conditions recommended by staff.
Commissioner Shapiro seconded the motion, and the motion passed on a vote of 5-1-1
(Carper opposed, Johnston-Madison abstained).
Commissioner Johnston-Madison asked if they were sending any additional thoughts to
Council that they should be considering as part of their process.
Ms. McMonigal stated the Planning Commission could add some recommendations on the
PUD. She noted the Commission’s comments included: to obtain more details on the
shadow impacts, to look more closely at the bus stop location and see if it would be adequate
or need to be moved, to look at the loading zone to see if it was adequately sized, to show the
interface between the proposed building and the existing homes showing the height
difference, and also show views from neighboring properties toward the building.
Commissioner Carper asked to include the fact that the trees would provide a significant
shadow and demonstrate that on the drawings.
Mr. Dovolis noted the trees were clearly represented and very accurate, showing the species,
size of the trees (as installed), and height of the fence.
Ms. Merrigan clarified it was not in the ordinance to show the views of the trees.
Meeting of December 1, 2008 (Item No. 4m) Page 9
Subject: Planning Commission Minutes November 5, 2008
Chair Robertson replied it was to help people visualize what they would and would not see.
Mr. Dovolis added they could add those views.
Commissioner Johnston-Madison noted the shadows falling on the houses were from the
building. If there were shadows from the trees, they would be shadowed by the building.
Commissioner Morris made a motion to recommend approval of the Preliminary Plat
without the Subdivision Variances, subject to conditions recommended by staff.
Commissioner Johnston-Madison asked Commissioner Morris to discuss an alternative to
the variances.
Commissioner Morris stated the applicant would put in the easements, which would affect
the footprint of the building.
There being no second, the motion failed.
Chair Robertson asked staff for more clarification on the variances.
Mr. Walther replied staff found the applicant met the criteria to grant the variance. The
code requires a 5-foot easement along the west property line. The building is set back five
feet back from the sidewalk on Excelsior Blvd. They could not provide a ten-foot easement
because the building cannot encroach into a drainage and utility easement. On the Excelsior
Boulevard side, in addition to the building itself being within five feet there are also stairways
and decks from the residential units that come right up to the property line. The request is
to allow them to build up to the property line in those areas. There aren’t currently utilities
in that area and no proposed utilities in that area due to this development. Any proposed
utilities need to be within the right of way that is available, under the sidewalk or landscaped
area or within the street. Staff had received comments from Hennepin County, the keeper
of Excelsior Boulevard right of way, and they did not have any comments related to the
utility variance.
Chair Robertson asked about the west side, they were requesting a variance from five feet to
zero feet. If they were already set back five feet, it seemed like they had five feet for the
utility easement. Mr. Walther replied the encroachments within that area include a fresh air
intake that comes up to the property line for the underground parking and the building
foundation. Staff is working through a potential amendment to their utility plans that may
provide the five feet. If the utility plan changes, an easement may be required and may be in
that area.
Chair Robertson asked if there is an easement there, would the City allow them to encroach
on that with the ventilation.

Subject: Planning Commission Minutes November 5, 2008
Mr. Walther replied in that situation there would be a very tailored easement that would
include vertical dimensions, which was not ideal.
Commissioner Shapiro noted one of the biggest things with taking the easement from ten
feet to zero feet, it would impact the size of the building and the biggest thing would be the
parking. He was not sure they could make that up anyplace. He was in favor of granting the
reduction.
Commissioner Kramer felt utility boxes along the curb would be ugly. There ought to be a
way to keep those out of sight. He would be in favor of approving this if they could figure
out a way to guarantee it would not create an eye sore.
Mr. Walther noted staff could require utilities be buried. There is occasionally a specific
utility that is difficult or extremely expensive to bury, an electrical transformer, but generally
they would require every other type of utility to be buried. The one issue is that they could
include small utilities in other plans and require it as part of the final plat submission so they
would know where they were located.
Commissioner Kramer suggested the transformer boxes be put against the building where
they could become part of the architecture.
Mr. Walther noted the architect and landscape architect had identified a couple of locations
where that was possible and hidden in the landscaping.
Commissioner Kramer made a motion to recommend approval of the Preliminary Plat with
Subdivision Variances, subject to conditions recommended by staff and an additional
condition that the utilities be buried where possible and transformers be out of sight.
Commissioner Shapiro seconded the motion, and the motion passed on a vote of 5-2
(Carper and Morris opposed).
Mr. Walther commented this could go before City Council as early as November 17th.
Commissioner Morris asked staff to investigate the issue of required buffering shadowing. If
they are going to have a development put in a buffer yard, but that buffer yard then acts as a
shadowing effect on the abutting property, do they really want to get into that issue because
they have the concept of shadowing as a zoning issue. If it is a private property and someone
wants to plant trees that is one issue, but if they tell a development they have to put in a
buffering and a property owner that abuts is concerned about the buffering shadowing their
house, do they want to raise that issue about required buffered yard shadowing?
Commissioner Person stated that presented a dilemma because the abutting property owner
wants the taller trees foliage so they don’t see the building, yet the shadows could be a
problem.
Meeting of December 1, 2008 (Item No. 4m) Page 11
Subject: Planning Commission Minutes November 5, 2008
Chair Robertson agreed that was something to look at.
Ms. McMonigal added staff could address it through the landscaping plan.
Susan Williams, 3405 Glenhurst, stated when they talked about the shading, they were
putting in a fence up with six-foot tall trees. The fence is there to block the driveway, the
parking, lights and noise. When they were talking about the shading, they were talking
about what came over the house and shaded the whole roof, the back yard and front yard. It
was a very different thing from having a pine tree outside your window to be in darkness for
2-3 hours on a winter day. They were being disingenuous when they say they won’t put up
any trees. That was not the shading problem. The shading was from the building.
4. Other Business
A. Updates on proposed ordinances
Ms. McMonigal provided updates on ordinance text amendments currently under
consideration by the City Council.
Chair Robertson asked if the Planning Commission could look at the definition of
mixed use prior to receiving any more mixed-use applications. The Ellipse project
was the third project that was in the 50/51% commercial/residential range. If there
are new ratios it would be good to define that.
Ms. McMonigal stated as part of land use planning the Commission should have
more discussion about mixed use. The ordinance needs attention for a number of
reasons. Mixed-use could be put on an agenda for discussion. She added the
Commission may even want to talk with developers. Staff had struggled with
developers to have mixed use at all. Requiring 50% had been the best they had been
able to do.
Commissioner Kramer commented that mixed-use developments needed to get
enough commercial, but it isn’t specified what it should be. He noted that
Excelsior and Grand has predominantly large national chains that don’t contribute to
the vitality and vigor of the neighborhood. Many spaces have not been rented.
Smaller businesses have not stayed very long or had difficulty remaining there.
B. Comprehensive Plan schedule
Ms. McMonigal stated staff is putting together a draft Comprehensive Plan for
public review.

TITLE:
Truth-in-Taxation Public Hearing on 2009 Budget and Property Tax Levy.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Mayor to close the public hearing. There is no action required at this meeting. The meeting is
intended to provide information to the public about the budget and property tax levy as well as to
receive comments and input from the public. Staff will give a presentation of the overall 2009
General Fund Budget and Property Tax Levy and provide other general information related to
property taxes.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
The City is required to annually hold a Truth-in-Taxation public hearing to solicit public input on
the budget and property tax levy for the next fiscal year. The City Council must wait at least one
business day following the public hearing before adopting the budget and tax levy.
BACKGROUND:
City Council approved the preliminary 2009 budget, property tax levy and HRA levy at its
September 2, 2008 meeting. At that meeting, the City proposed to increase the property tax levy by
6.27% and levy the maximum percentage amount authorized (.0185 % of taxable market value) for
HRA purposes.
City Council has reviewed and discussed both the 2009 Proposed Budget and the 2009 – 2013 Capital
Improvement Program (CIP). The general property tax levy is now recommended to be 5.8% based on
discussion with the Council, City Manager and department directors. Formal adoption of the 2009
budget, property tax levy, CIP and HRA levy is scheduled for December 15, 2008.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION:
The City of St. Louis Park’s property tax levy helps support the operations of the General Fund,
Parks and Recreation Fund, Park Improvement Fund and the Pavement Management Fund, and
covers the debt service on General Obligation bonds. The progression of the proposed property tax
levy allocation is shown in the chart below:

TOTAL TAX LEVIES $20,619,676 $21,912,419 $21,815,393 5.8%
The changes made during the last several months were budget adjustments based on modified
assumptions for both revenues and expenditures. Revenues were reduced to recognize a slowdown
in construction activity that will most likely reduce building permit revenues the City will receive.
Additional expenditure reductions that total about $500,000 were also made from the initial budget
that was presented to the Council. These items are shown on the Budget Modifications attachment.
The effect of this proposed budget and tax levy is a property tax increase of 4.2% for the average
residential property in the city. This assumes a value from $250,000-$450,000 with a market value
increase of 0% from 2007 to 2008. This costs just over $3 per month for the median value home.
There have been a significant number of calls to the Finance and Assessing staff this year regarding
the Truth-in-Taxation notices. The concerns are primarily that people have noticed an increase in
taxable market value on their homes. These concerns may generate more interest in the public
hearing than in previous years.
There are still a few – about 3% – of our residential properties that are experiencing the effects of the
limited market value phase-out. In 1999, when home prices were increasing at double digit rates for
several years, the legislature decided to limit the increase in taxable market value to 15% per year as a
method of property tax relief. These parcels were paying lower taxes than they would have during
this time. Now that value increases are much lower (in fact dropping in some cases) these properties
are still seeing an increase in taxable value to catch up to their market value. Because the TNT
notices only show taxable value without the actual market value, it has led to significant confusion.
The property owners who have a limited market value have not been paying taxes on the full fair
market value. This year they are still seeing an up to 15% catch-up on their taxable value which
confuses them because of the well publicized cooling of the housing market.
Meeting of December 1, 2008 (Item No. 6a) Page 3
Subject: Truth-in-Taxation Public Hearing on 2009 Budget and Property Tax Levy
The other reason for increasing market value is the lag between setting values for tax purposes and
actually having the value show up on the tax statement. The values used for 2009 taxes were set as
of January 2, 2008 by our City Assessor based on sales transactions from November, 2006 through
October, 2007.
Staff will be using a PowerPoint presentation to illustrate the budget process, discussion results, and
net effect on property owners at the public hearing.
OTHER:
Resident Letter: In an effort to share resident communication, we have attached a copy of the only
resident letter received by the Finance Department dated November 19, 2008 from Ms. Metzer
regarding the proposed increase to St. Louis Park property taxes. Attached to the letter is the
calculation showing 2008 tax and 2009 tax proposed for this specific property.

Subject: Ellipse on Excelsior – Rezoning, Preliminary Plat with Subdivision Variances and Preliminary PUD (Case Nos.:
08-34-Z, 08-35-S, 08-36-PUD)
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
• Is Mixed Use zoning consistent with the Comprehensive Plan?
• Does the Preliminary Plat with Variances meet the intent of the subdivision ordinance?
• Does the Preliminary Planned Unit Development meet City redevelopment goals and design
objectives?
BACKGROUND:
The applicant proposes to redevelop the Al’s Bar and Anderson Cleaners sites on the northwest
corner of Excelsior Boulevard and France Avenue with a mixed use building. The City Council
approved a Comprehensive Plan map amendment for a portion of the site on September 15, 2008.
In 2005, the City and neighborhood representatives worked together to a process to prepare
development guidelines for the site. The guidelines provide direction for evaluating development
proposals, but are not requirements for development approvals. The guidelines depict preferred
conditions and represent the best-case conditions for new development. As such, the guidelines are
the foundation of dialogue with development interests and influence development. The applicant
designed the proposed project with the development guidelines in mind.
REZONING:
The City Council approved a Comprehensive Plan map change to guide the land use as Commercial
Mixed Use. The proposed zoning change from Medium Density Residential to Mixed Use district is
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. All development proposed in the MX District requires
Planned Unit Development (PUD) approval.
The Minikahda Oaks Plan by Neighborhood section of the Comprehensive Plan addresses the
northwest corner of France Avenue and Excelsior Boulevard by stating, “redevelopment of the
commercial corner as mixed use including small scale retail and office use, with primarily residential
uses on the north side. The transition from a commercial front to the single-family area shall be
mindful of scale, density, quality, aesthetics, and vehicle access. New development shall follow
urban design goals set in Chapter R [Livable Communities] of the City’s Comprehensive Plan.”
The proposed development is a mixed-use building that promotes efficient use of the land and
roadway system. The Developer has been working with City staff and the surrounding
neighborhoods for several months to identify, understand, and address issues of concern and
improve the site design. Considerable attention and effort has been given to appropriately buffer the
use from the adjacent single-family residential properties. The plan places the majority of the
parking underground, in order to reduce the amount of land devoted to surface parking. The plan
provides a significant amount of designed outdoor recreation area, including a prominent, accessible
and spacious plaza. The development exhibits high quality architectural design, innovative site
design, and uses high quality materials. All these factors support the goals and purposes of the MX
Mixed Use Zoning District.

08-34-Z, 08-35-S, 08-36-PUD)
PRELIMINARY PLAT WITH VARIANCES ANALYSIS:
The preliminary plat combines nine lots into one lot of 2.23 acres and dedicates right-of-way to
Excelsior Boulevard.
Right-of-Way Dedication
The area dedicated to Excelsior Boulevard replaces an existing road easement, and provides 50 feet
from the centerline of Excelsior Boulevard (County Highway 3). Hennepin County reviewed the
proposal and did not have any comments.
Utility Easements
The plan provides drainage and utility easements as required by City Code adjacent to Glenhurst
Avenue and north property line. The plan also provides a 29-foot wide drainage and utility
easement along the south side of the property, to accommodate the proposed relocation of City
sanitary and storm sewer mains.
Subdivision Variance Application
The applicant is requesting variances from requirement to provide 10-foot wide utility easements
along Excelsior Boulevard and France Avenue, and 5-foot wide drainage and utility easement along
Meeting of December 1, 2008 (Item No. 8a) Page 4
Subject: Ellipse on Excelsior – Rezoning, Preliminary Plat with Subdivision Variances and Preliminary PUD (Case Nos.:
08-34-Z, 08-35-S, 08-36-PUD)
the west property line adjacent to Bass Lake Park. Variances of this type are commonly needed in
higher density, mixed use developments.
The Developer argues in the application the variances are justified for the following reasons:
• This is an existing urban site that was developed decades ago. Utility connections to
Excelsior Boulevard have been established on the site and, though rerouted within the site,
would remain connected within the existing road right-of-way. The addition of ten feet
drainage and utility easement would be unnecessary and redundant.
• The Ellipse is a compact, urban subdivision and does not have a prototypical front yard
setback that generally requires an easement abutting the primary street. This site is on the
City’s preeminent commercial corridor which reflects an urban development pattern that
calls for the building to be built up to the street.
• The building placement is consistent with the development guidelines endorsed by the
neighborhood (France Avenue and Excelsior Boulevard Development Guidelines), and
respects the commercial corridor development desired along the Excelsior Boulevard. In
order to reinforce the commercial corridor the building needs to be within 10 feet of
Excelsior Boulevard to continue the pattern of providing adequate street width, paving
patterns, and boulevard plantings that are in keeping with recent developments.
• A 10-foot variance along France Avenue allows the project to maximize the footprint for
underground parking in support of a mixed-use project. The primary parking will occur
under the site footprint which allows the elimination of surface parking between the sidewalk
and building and provide a gateway plaza on the site.
Ideally, ten feet wide drainage and utility easements would be provided along Excelsior Boulevard, in
order to provide space for potential future utility services in a constrained urban highway. However,
staff supports the variances based on the following findings:
1. The building is located near the street right-of-way to provide immediate pedestrian access from
the sidewalk to building entrances.
2. Granting a variance from 10 feet to zero feet will not impair the ability to accommodate needed
utilities to serve the development. The present road right-of-way accommodates existing and
relocated utilities. Hennepin County has jurisdiction over this roadway and did not comment on
the issue of perimeter easements.
3. Providing the easements will negatively impact the provision of underground parking spaces on
the site that are crucial to the success of the project.
4. Granting the variances will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare of the
community.
5. Granting the variances is not contrary to the intent of the Comprehensive Plan.

Subject: Ellipse on Excelsior – Rezoning, Preliminary Plat with Subdivision Variances and Preliminary PUD (Case Nos.:
08-34-Z, 08-35-S, 08-36-PUD)
Density
Mixed Use District allows the proposed 59.2 units per acre density with a PUD. This is because the
development provides housing above commercial uses and the residential gross floor area is more
than twice the commercial area; the building is situated at or near the street right-of-way, and surface
parking is screened from the Excelsior Boulevard and France Avenue right-of-ways.
Architectural Design
Description
The proposed building is five stories (60 feet) tall. It has a concave design adjacent to a corner plaza.
Commercial uses are proposed on the east half of the building fronting the plaza. Commercial
spaces will have two entrances, including an entry on the back of the building adjacent to parking,
which compels a quality presentation on both sides of the building. On the Excelsior Boulevard
elevation, the second through fifth floors are set back from the first floor elevation to improve the
pedestrian-scale of the building. Since the Planning Commission public hearing, the northeast
portion of the building moved farther from the neighboring single family residential neighborhood,
and the second through fifth floors have been stepped back from the first floor.
The building and site design are clearly influenced by and reflect the France Avenue and Excelsior
Boulevard Design Guidelines. The design takes advantage of the location as a gateway feature into
the City, neighborhood and project. The building frames the street and a generous corner plaza,
providing a distinct, memorable and attractive character. The corner plaza is a prominent open and
pedestrian-oriented space.
The guidelines suggest new development should be in the range of three to four stories, with a
maximum height of 46 feet. The guidelines state, “Some limited opportunities to build to five
stories with a maximum roofline height of 59 feet are possible for portion of the buildings, if there
are corresponding 3-story portions and it is determined through the PUD process that the overall
design is preferable. Uniform 5 story heights at any location on the site are not desired.”
The developer made adjustments to the site and building design to mitigate the impacts of the
height, including fencing, landscaping, increasing setbacks, reducing the number of units on the
north side of the building, vegetative and architectural treatments at the top of the wall, and stepping
back the upper floors on part of the building.
Materials
Building materials include stone, brick, and glass on the ground level surrounding the building; and
glass and hardiboard (stucco panel veneer) on the upper floors. Balconies will be metal. The
building provides 64 percent Class 1 materials, and 36 percent Class II materials.
The MX District requires at least 80 percent Class I materials on each face of the building visible
from public areas within the development or from off-site. The Class I materials requirement may
be reduced to 60 percent at the sole discretion of the City Council if a balance of architectural
interest and visual compatibility is provided through approval of the following:
Meeting of December 1, 2008 (Item No. 8a) Page 7
Subject: Ellipse on Excelsior – Rezoning, Preliminary Plat with Subdivision Variances and Preliminary PUD (Case Nos.:
08-34-Z, 08-35-S, 08-36-PUD)
• A variety of compatible materials and colors;
• Height and building wall deviations;
• Architectural features;
• Canopies over sidewalks; and
• Pedestrian-scale details.
The design meets several of the criteria above. Planning Commission and staff recommend approval
of the reduction in Class I materials. The City has not granted a reduction on any other MX district
developments in St. Louis Park.
Height
The MX district limits building heights adjacent to R1, R2, and R3 zoning districts. The north side
of the site abuts an R2 district. The building is 60 feet tall, and it is setback at least 60 feet from the
R2 district. The north part of the building closest to the single family houses actually ranges from
51 feet to 56.14 feet above grade. Since the Planning Commission meeting, the plan was revised to
move a portion of the building farther from the R2 district. The building now ranges from 60 feet
to 77.29 feet away on the ground level, and 60 feet to 82.27 feet away on the upper floors (excluding
decks). The building meets the MX district height limitations.
Parking
The proposed development qualifies for several parking reductions in the zoning code because it is
adjacent to frequently operating bus service, and it includes a mixed of uses that provide
opportunities for shared parking efficiencies. The plan provides 278 parking stalls, just three fewer
spaces than would be required without any parking reductions. The MX district allows the City
Council to reduce required parking by up to 30 percent. In this instance, only a 1.1 percent
reduction is requested.

Subject: Ellipse on Excelsior – Rezoning, Preliminary Plat with Subdivision Variances and Preliminary PUD (Case Nos.:
08-34-Z, 08-35-S, 08-36-PUD)
As shown in the table above, 177 parking stalls are provided below-grade for the exclusive use of the
apartment residents. The remaining 96 spaces in the surface parking lot are available for guests, and
customers and employees of the commercial uses.
In the Final PUD submission, the accessible parking stall locations must be amended to comply with
ADA requirements.
The plan provides 160 bicycle parking spaces in a mix of secure indoor, covered, and uncovered
outdoor racks. The plan meets City Code requirements.
Setbacks
In the MX District, building setbacks are regulated by the redevelopment plan or final PUD site plan
and development agreement approved by the City Council. In a PUD, buildings may be set up to
the property line.
Street Frontages
The France Avenue and Excelsior Boulevard Design Guidelines encourage a “build-to line” that is
close to Excelsior Boulevard. The guidelines suggest a 10-foot wide sidewalk and 10-foot building
setback from the sidewalk be provided.
The development plan provides a 6-foot landscaped boulevard, 7-foot wide sidewalk, and 5-foot
setback from the sidewalk, measured to the building wall. This results in the building being 18 feet
from the curb (versus 20 feet suggested in the guidelines). There are first floor apartments with front
decks and staircases that encroach into the 5-foot setback from the sidewalk, resulting in 13 feet
from the curb to the staircases. An illustration of the area between the building and Excelsior
Boulevard are included in the exhibits (see Street Frontage).
In order to build as proposed, the applicant is requesting variances from the subdivision requirement
for drainage and utility easements along France Avenue and Excelsior Boulevard. In addition, there
is a request to vacate an existing two feet wide street, utility and drainage and pathway easement
along Excelsior Boulevard (which the City Council will consider on December 15). Effectively, this
will narrow the existing boulevard right-of-way from 15 feet to 13 feet (the existing boulevard
includes a 9-foot wide landscape strip and six feet wide sidewalk).
Setback from R2 District
The side of the building adjacent to the single family houses is set back 60 feet on the west side and
77 feet on the east side.
Other Setbacks
On the west side of the property adjacent to the Minikahda Court Apartments site, a portion of the
building is 5 feet 8 inches from the property line. In this same area, there are decks that are 1.7 feet
from the property line.
Meeting of December 1, 2008 (Item No. 8a) Page 9
Subject: Ellipse on Excelsior – Rezoning, Preliminary Plat with Subdivision Variances and Preliminary PUD (Case Nos.:
08-34-Z, 08-35-S, 08-36-PUD)
The building would be 30 feet from the south property line.
The proposed setbacks are acceptable with a PUD in the MX District.
Designed Outdoor Recreation Area (DORA)
The plan provides 29.3% of the land area for DORA. The DORA includes the corner plaza,
rooftop sundeck, patio overlooking the park, and sidewalk connections within the site. Both the
plaza and patio provide outdoor seating, special surface treatments and landscaping. This exceeds
the DORA requirement of 12%.
Landscaping
The landscaping plan provides 57 of the 149 trees required on the site. It provides 574 shrubs,
which is significantly more than the 168 shrubs required. Also, there are several areas that include
perennial plantings. The project appropriately uses alternative landscaping provisions to make up for
the shortfall in tree plantings. The development incorporates seating and special surface treatments
into the corner plaza design. Public art is anticipated to be included in the plaza, too. A rooftop
garden and sundeck will be available to apartment residents. Staff finds the plan meets City Code
requirements.
The Developer and the City are organizing a public artist/art selection process, similar to the process
the City has used in other projects. This process may influence the landscape design and integration
of public art in the corner plaza.
Waste Storage
The trash is proposed to be managed inside the building. Trash rooms for the apartments will be
located in the underground garage. A trash room for the commercial uses will be at ground level on
the north side of the building. Hours of waste pick-up are limited by the City’s licensing rules.
Utilities
To construct the building as proposed, public sanitary and storm sewer mains must be relocated.
There are also existing easements that must be vacated by the city for the project to move forward.
The Developer has submitted vacation applications, which will be reviewed by City Council on
December 15, 2008.
The proposed utility plan requires acquisition of an easement from a neighboring property owner.
The easement has not yet been acquired, so approval for the proposed plan must be subject to this
significant condition of approval.
Stormwater from the site will be stored underground and provide infiltration of the first ½-inch of
rainfall. The proposed system meets the City’s rate control requirements. The plan requires review
and approval by the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD).

Traffic
SRF Consulting Group, Inc. provided a traffic study for the project proposal. The study concludes
that the existing adjacent road system and intersection will safely accommodate the proposed
development.
The applicant proposes to construct a landscaped median in France Avenue to help give drivers a
visual cue that they are entering into a neighborhood and slow traffic. This improvement is
intended to reduce the number of vehicles entering the Minikahda Oaks neighborhood incorrectly
assuming there is an outlet. The landscaped median will be built and maintained by the developer.
Shadow Study
The applicant provided a revised shadow study in response to questions raised by neighbors,
Planning Commission and staff. The applicant’s architect certified the study, which concludes that
the development meets the City’s requirements.
Export of Soils
The project entails export of 33,500 cubic yards of material. The hours of operation will be from
7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, and from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Saturdays.
The haul route from the site will be onto Excelsior Boulevard to Highway 100. The applicant
estimates the soil export will take approximately 20 working days.
PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT (PUD) OBJECTIVES:
A mixed use building is required by Planned Unit Development (PUD) in the Mixed Use Zoning
District. The Zoning Code requires that applicants for a Planned Unit Development demonstrate
how the proposal will “enhance, support, and further the following objectives”:
1. Provide for integrated pedestrian facilities to and within the project:
The building siting, orientation, façade entrances, sidewalks and plaza provide integrated
pedestrian facilities to and within the project. There are sidewalks provided along France Avenue
and Excelsior Boulevard. The plaza provides direct and attractive pedestrian access to the
storefronts. Ground floor apartments fronting Excelsior Boulevard have direct pedestrian direct
access. The parking lot includes a raised (“tabletop”) pedestrian crossing connecting the
apartment entrance to the residential patio space to slow traffic and improve safety.
2. Enhance linkages to mass transit facilities:
The site is served by Metro Transit routes 12 and 114. Route 12 is considered a “frequently
operating transit line” under the Zoning Code. The development will provide an attractive
destination. The plaza provides direct walking connections to store entrances and improves the
aesthetics of the existing bus stop. No shelters or bus turnouts are requested or proposed.

Subject: Ellipse on Excelsior – Rezoning, Preliminary Plat with Subdivision Variances and Preliminary PUD (Case Nos.:
08-34-Z, 08-35-S, 08-36-PUD)
3. Incorporate implementation of travel demand management strategies as part of the PUD.
The purpose of a travel demand management strategy is to spread the number of automobile
trips throughout the day, reducing the negative impacts that occur during peak travel times. The
mixed-use building satisfies the travel demand strategies requirement.
4. Provide public plazas and designed outdoor recreation area which exceeds minimum chapter
requirements:
The plan indicates that 29.3% of the lot area is Designed Outdoor Recreation Area (DORA).
The minimum requirement is 12% of the lot area.
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, upscale apartments, attractive retail facades, interesting architectural features, and will
incorporate public art in the plaza.
PUD MODIFICATIONS:
The Developer requests the following PUD modifications:
• Increased residential density from 50 units per acre to 59.2 units per acre.
• Reduced Class I exterior building materials percentage from 80 percent to 64 percent.
PUBLIC PROCESS:
The Developer met with neighborhood leaders on five occasions, and held two neighborhood
meetings to which all the Minikahda Oaks and Minikahda Vista residents were invited. Attendance
at the October 1, 2008 neighborhood meeting was held at City Hall and approximately 50 people
attended. Attendance at the October 29, 2008 neighborhood meeting was considerably lighter with
approximately 15 people.
The major concerns expressed at neighborhood meetings and previous public hearing include: 1)
traffic into the Minikahda Oaks neighborhood, 2) vehicle access to the site, 3) noise, 4) adequate
parking to serve the development and avoid parking in the neighborhood, 5) having a transition
from commercial to residential (i.e. density, buffer, building height), and 6) high quality
development and aesthetics.
Of all the factors described above, the single biggest issue discussed at the public hearing was the
building height, including concerns about the shadow cast by a tall building. Neighbors contended
the building height does not demonstrate an appropriate transition between uses. The plan has been
revised to move the building, parking lot, waste enclosures, and driveway entrances as far from
neighboring single-family residential as possible; and provide more significant fencing, berms, and
landscaping on the north side of the property to screen the development.
Planning Commission held a public hearing regarding the Comprehensive Plan amendment on
September 3, 2008. The City Council approved the amendment on September 15, 2008.

Planning Commission held public hearings on the rezoning, preliminary plat with variances, and
preliminary PUD on November 5, 2008. Planning Commission recommended approval of the
applications.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION:
The requested zoning approvals do not impact City finances or budget.
VISION CONSIDERATION:
This project and site design address three parts of the strategic direction, including increasing use of
new gathering spaces, providing a well-maintained and diverse housing stock, and promoting and
integrating arts and community aesthetics in all City initiatives and implementation where
appropriate.
In addition, this project reflects recommendations of Vision Action Teams:
Housing: Urban villages throughout the city have resulted in cities within the city that provide
walkable destinations for residents.
• Redevelopment has occurred in all parts of the City
• Grocery stores and coffee shops in residential neighborhoods
• Gathering places within walking distance of all neighborhoods
• Zone to allow mixed-use in residential neighborhoods
Transportation: St. Louis Park should have a development pattern and transportation facilities that
support transit, pedestrian and bicycle travel (on- and off-road); and, encourages goods and services
and employment opportunities to be close to residents.
Gathering Spaces: Successful gathering spaces should be open, sunny, pedestrian-friendly, inviting,
comfortable and accessible. Gathering spaces should have ample seating, food and/or music and
public art.

RESOLUTION GIVING APPROVAL FOR PRELIMINARY
PLAT OF ELLIPSE ON EXCELSIOR
WITH VARIANCES FROM SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE FOR
PERIMETER DRAINAGE AND UTILITY EASEMENTS
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of St.. Louis Park:
Findings
1. David Payne, James Rossman, and Bader Development, owners and subdividers of
the land proposed to be platted as Ellipse on Excelsior have submitted an application for approval of
preliminary plat of said subdivision with variances from the subdivision ordinance for perimeter
drainage and utility easements (Section 26-154a) in the manner required for platting of land under
the St. Louis Park Ordinance Code, and all proceedings have been duly had thereunder.
2. The proposed preliminary plat has been found to be in all respects consistent with
the City Plan and the regulations and requirements of the laws of the State of Minnesota and the
ordinances of the City of St. Louis Park.
3. The proposed plat is situated upon the following described lands in Hennepin

4. There are special circumstances affecting the property such that the strict application
of the provisions of the subdivision ordinance would deprive the applicant/owner of the reasonable
use of the land. Such circumstances arise due to relocation of public sanitary and storm sewer
mains and urban design objectives for the site. The building is located near the street right-of-way to
provide immediate pedestrian access from the sidewalk to building entrances. Providing the
easements will negatively impact the provision of underground parking spaces on the site that are
crucial to the success of the project.
5. The granting of the variances will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, and
welfare or injurious to other property in the territory in which the property is situated. Granting a
variance from 10 feet to zero feet will not impair the ability to accommodate needed utilities to serve
the development. The present road right-of-way accommodates existing and relocated utilities. The
granting of the variances will enable a pedestrian-oriented building design.
6. The variance is to correct inequities resulting from an extreme physical hardship.
The development requires relocation of public sanitary and storm sewer mains and soil correction.
7. The variance is not contrary to the intent of the Comprehensive Plan. The
Comprehensive Plan calls for such lands to be redeveloped and to include certain elements, such as
stormwater management, underground parking, sidewalks, and buildings located close to the street.
Such redevelopment on this site could not occur without a variance.
