6a. Zoning change: 6eth Application of Beth E1 Synaqoque to cha�9e
E1 Synagogue the zoning clas�ification on the north s��
of 26th Street as described in Notice of
Hearing published June 9, 1982.
� Philip J. Stern, 4421 W. 25th St. said he Kas adverse to the apPlication
' -158-

of Beth E1 for a zoning change. He•said he was in favor of the Planning
Comnission's recommendation and that it should be shown if the Planning
Cor�nission is judged wrong. He cited Hahn vs. the City of Coon Rapids
in which the court decided that unless.there is strong evidence to the
contrary, a City Council is to abide by decisions of the Planning Com-
mission. He said since the Planning Comnission had denied this appli-
cation, the City Council was bound by their decision.
Maurice Gordon, 2445 Winfield, said you can't stop putting people to
work and bringing money into the area. He said Beth E1 needs additional
income, that the development will have the finest people, and development
on the site will get rid of what is now a dump. He said the area is in a
depression and the comnunity needs to put people to work.
David Lasky, 2506 Monterey So., said he lived some Z00 yards from the
proposed development and is a member of Beth E1. He felt the development
would be unattractive. He said he could understand some sort of develop-
ment, but how much was the question, and that si�gle family homes would
be preferable.
Stanley Segelbaum, 1611 Fairway Lane, said he was the upcoming president
of Beth E1. He said they owned four and one-half acres of land that in
its present state was no use to Beth El or the City. He.said Be�h E1
has proposed to develop an attractive cluster housing project. He
circulated a rendering of the proposed project, and introduced Robert
Greenberg, 2242 Nevada Ave. who described the project in more detail.
He said the proposed units would be one and on-half story with under-
ground parking. He commented it was economically impossible in this day
to construct single family dwellings on this land because of the poor
soils. He said it was obvious from the rendering what an attractive
project is proposed. He concluded by saying only a two percent increase
in the traffic is anticipated based on the number of units proposed.

the value of the whole neighborhood there and
City's tax base.
Rabbi Kassel Abelson, 2611 Natchez So., said that currently unauthorized
construction trucks are dumping debris on this vacant land and that the
fence constructed to prevent that had been knocked down. He said the
development will be an asset for him and others in St. Louis Park who
sell their homes and can remain within easy access to the synagogue.
Mayor McQuaid asked if the synagogue will maintain control of the land,
but that others will build upon it.
Ftr. Segelbaum said the synagogue will retain ownership of the land and
after the development is complete, ownership will revert to the project
association.
Mayor McQuaid asked what would happen to the land should there be no

Beth El retaining no control.
Councilman Hanks said he wanted to remind those present that the City
Council ne�er authorizes the selection of any developers. �
Joyce Abramson, 2624 Princeton Ave. So., said Beth El
purchased the property that it was R-1 and she v�ould

Dr. Irving Herman, 2605 Natchez So., said he didn't feel the figure of
�95,000 per unit would represent a very luxurious townhouse in today's
market. He said an expensive single family home would also add to the
City's tax base. He said traffic will.be worse and that condominiums or
cluster home projects do not improve the value of single family homes.
He asked if this vacant land has become a dump site, why aren't the
City inspectors taking action.
Ruth Segal, 2604 Lynn Ave. So., said this project would represent additional
expense to the City in fire, police and other City services. She asked
that Beth E1 withdraw its request as it had done last year.
Mrs. Harry Mayeron, 2628 Monterey Ave., said she is opposed to what she �
felt was an over-purchase on Beth E1's behalf as they knew what the zoning �
was when they bought the property. She said she fails to see the attraction
of the proposed dwellings to older citizens. She questioned the alleged
dumping on the l�and as it is against the law.
Berta Smith asked whose Planning Commission it was: the residents' or
the Council's.
Mayor McQuaid responded the Planning Comnission acts purely as an.advisory
body to the City Council and the Council can abide by its recommendations
or overrule it.
Howard George, resident of the Lake Forest area, said he was opposed to
any chanqe in zoning and that the property should be utilized for single
family dwellings.
Karen Bradick, 2600 Salem, asked that the property not be developed be-
cause the traffic was already too heavy.
June Angelson felt the traffic situation should be given more consideration
in light of the proposed changes to Highway 100/Highway 12. She expres-
sed her concern about the additional pollutants that would be created
with more traffic.
A discussion followed reqarding the management of the property once the
development is completed. �
Mayor McQuaid said previously there was a plan for a hi h rise apartment
on the property which she could not support. She asked9if a neighborhood

meeting had ever been held regarding Beth E1's plans for this property.
Mr. Segelman responded there had not been one held as yet, that Beth
E1 had only applied for re-zoning. He said if it were appropriate, Beth
E1 would want to meet with all the neighbors concerned when a more com-
prehensive plan is developed.
A discussion followed as to how the project fits in with the Comprehensive
Plan and the current status of that plan.
Councilman Martin said the paan was currently under review b� the Metro-
politan Council and is thereaf ter referred back to the City.
The City Manager said formal adoption by the Council is strongly rec-
omnended by all concerned with the Comprehensive Plan.
A member of the audience asked to what extent citizens get involved in
the Comprehensive Plan process.
The Director of Planning said the Planning Comnission had spent some
three years in developing, amendinq and updating the current plan. He
said numerous neighborhood meetings were held to discuss the proposed
plan. He said that after adoptioR by the Planning Commission, the plan
goes tb the Metropolitan Council for its review along with review of all
other metro communities' plans. He explained that St. Louis Park chooses
to allow its City Council to formally adopt the plan within the confines
of State statutes.
Mayor McQuaid said the City Charter specifies adoption of the Plan by
the Council. She carmented that in a mature comnunity like St. Louis
Park, expansion for homes is severely confined. She asked who can afford
single family homes these days. to build or to buy. She said she would
like to see Beth E1 and the neighborhood work closely together on this
matter,
There being no one further wishinq to speak, the Mayor declared the public
hearing closed with the right of.Council to thereafter reopen�and con-
tinue it at a future date. •
lt was moved by Councilman Backes, seconded by Councilma� Meland, to
authoriZe preparation of an ordinance changing the zoning classifica�ion.
Councilman Ralles said there was a 32-unit condominium development going
up in his Hard in the HestMrood Hills Road area and invited all present
to visit what he felt was going to be a most attractive project.
Councilman Strohl said

Councilman Hanks asked what Beth E1's intent was relating to the develop-
ment. Nould it be a land lease? Would Beth E1 control the sale of the
-161-

the townhouses?
Mr. Greenberg said Beth E1 will control the land and will sell the
townhomes. He said management of the land will be set up through the
County Recorder.
Councilman Hanks said he would want to know if it were to be a Perma-
Lease situation or a condominium ownership situation before committing
himsel f .
Mr. �reenberg sai�d Beth E1 will maintain control and would want to see
buyers conforming to the terms of their purchase agreement.
The Mayor called for the vote and the motion passed 5-2 (Councilmen Hanks
and Strohl opposed).
Mr. Stern said he would like a clarification on the court's ruling and
whether the Council intended to uphold or overrule the Planning Comnission's
recommendation. �
Councilman Hanks said the Planning Commission acts in an advisory capacity
to the City Council, as the Mayor had explained, and that he resented
Mr. Stern's making such demands of the Council.
6b. Bartram request for variance; Application of John W. Bartram for a
Resolution No. �7161 variance at 4440 W. 25th St.
There being no one wishing to speak, the Mayor declared the hearing closed
with the right of Council to thereafter reopen and continue the hearing
at a future date.
It was moved by Councilman Meland, seconded by Councilman Backes, to

35 feet from Section 14-128(5) of the Ordinance Code relating to zoning

The motion passed 7-0.
6e. Knollwood PUD plan amendment Proposed amendment to PUD general plan
at Knollwood
Herb Davi.s, 4043 Brookside, representing General Growth, addressed the
Council and passed out additional information for consideration. He
said an amendment to the PUD plan to more specifically delineate the
type of tenants and square footage of facilities to be located at Knoll-
wood Mall was of concern to General Growth. He stated the Director
of Planning's i�dea is to reduce the list of acceptable tenants in the P1a11
to what he feels is more in keeping with a shopping mall. He said
his client does not object to a list, but would like to see it expanded
because it is impossible to predict the future needs of any center. He
said his client's roain concern is an effort on staff's part to dictate
the square footage of tenants, primarily restaurants, and their location
within the mall. He reminded Council that his client had made recommended
modifications in the theater and Bishop's restaurant at staff's request.
He indicated the material he had passed out from the Urban Land Institute
which classifies all shopping centers and said that Knollwood �1a11 would
fit in the classification of a regional shopping center.
A lengthy explanation followed relating ratios of food and food service
facilities to total center area.
Mr. Davis said staff's concern seems to be how restaurant size affects
parking. He said this was valid, but only if the restaurant is in a
free-standing building. He said that the Director of Planning apparently
had used an out-dated study to substantiate 5.5 car spaces per square foot
of restaurant space, but that the current ULI study states four to five
spaces is th� accepted ratio.

He inquired as to why there is an attempt to restrict a McDonald's-type
establishment. He said that Powers and Montgomery Ward have restaurants
within their facilities (as opposed to being in the fast food area)
and that the HoHo Restaurant is not within the fast food area.
Mr. Davis introduced Phil Engle of General Growth who concurred with
htr. Davis' corm�nts and concluded that General Growth is merely seeking
to fill out the complement of food shops as has been done in all their
other centers. �
Mr. Davis said his client.was requesting that the ordinance not be adopted
at this time because of the discrepancy between the list of allowable
tenants and the tenants c�rrently there and/or in the future. He said they
were requesting the matter be referred for further study.
There being no one further wishing to speak, the Mayor declared the
public hearing closed with the right of Council to thereafter reopen and
continue it at a future date.
It was moved by Councilman Meland to waive first reading, and set second
reading for July 6 and approve summary publication.
The motion died for lack of a second.
It was moved by Councilman Ralles, seconded by Councilman Backes, to
refer the matter back to the Planning Commission and continue the
public hearing.
Councilman Meland said he would offer a substitute motion and moved that
first reading be waived and second reading be set for August 16, 1982
thus allowing the Planning Comnission time to study Mr. Davis' comnents
of that evening. The motion was seconded by Councilman Hanks.
In answer to a question regarding the appropriateness of this motion
with regard to first and second reading, the City Attorney said the problem
with a lapse between readings is that people loose track, but it was his
opinion, in this instance, the matter is being closely followed.
There was also discussion on the fact that the McDona�d application is due
to be heard by Council in July.
Councilman Martin said he didn't think the �4cDonald's application, which
had been submitted previously, was germaine to the proposed ordinance
change under discussion. He read from several sections of the Planning
Commission minutes and concluded that in his opinion, the manager of the
Mall should permit whatever tenants they want.
It was then moved by Councilman Meland, seconded by Councilman Backes, that
the material presented this evening be referred to the Planning Commission
and staff for review.
Councilman Hanks asked how many times thts matter had come before the
P1anning Comnission to which Councilman Strohl replied twice.
Councilman Hanks said Council was not telling the Planning Commission
-164-
City Council meeting minutes
June 21, 1982
how to proceed or what to do on this matter.
Councilman Meland said the material Mr. Davis passed out had not yet
been evaluated and should be.
Councilman Backes said he would hope that between that evening and
the Planning Commission meeting staff and Council could get together
to make the Commission's job a bit easier.
The City Manager said he was in general agreement with Councilman Martin
in that the mall managers should decide what tenants are to be located
in the mall. He said now there were three alternatives for seleciion
proposed by the various parties involved: the "laundry" list as proposed
by the Planning Commission; a general descriptive list as proposed by
General Growth, with which he didn't necessarily agree; and so�ething
in �etween those two alternatives. He said he felt the material under
discussion would be helpful to the Planning Commission.
Councilman Nanks said he was not happy with the lack of rapport between
the Council and General Growth and would like to amend ihe motion to ask
that the Planning Commission consider the laundry list and General
Growth's general description list. Councilman Backes seconded the
amended motion.
Councilman Martin said he was opposed to sending the matter back to
the Planning Commission. He said he felt the issue was the parking and
there seemed to be a deadlock over it.
Councilman ��eland said the information relating to food service in the mater-
ial presented that evening ought to be reviewed.
Councilman Martin said why review this material at a study session since it
really was not part of the problem.
The vote was called and the motion passed 7-0.
�a• American Leqion:
Gamblin .license
PETITIONS, REQUESTS, COMMUNICATIONS
American Legion: Application for a gambling
license
Councilman Hanks asked for an explanation of what the Legion was requesting.
Tom Shottenbauer explained the Legion was requesting a gambling license
to run the following games: tipboard, pulltab, paddlewheel and raffles.
Councilman Hanks said that according to the board in front of the Legion
hall, bingo is conducted there nine times a week and he was wondering if
it were a Legion hall or what.
Mr. Shottenbauer said the Legion runs bingo games twice weekly and the
remainder of the games are run by other organizations who simply rent th�
building.

Mayor McQuaid said she didn't feel Council was appreciative of the

It was pointed out that many families have multiple cars and that it does
take some extra effort to get arrangements worked out. �

relative to the sale of this land.

what was the point in then hiring a consultant.
The City Manager said that the figure proposed was staff's estimate only.
He said a bid might come in considerably lower. He said the issue at
this point was does Council want to proceed to a study of the plan.
Counci_lman Meland commented that what Council is really doing at this
juncture is notifying Nennepin County the proposed study area is to be
expanded. He said the County has been promising to do something about
the Highway 7 corridor for years.
Councilman Martin withdrew his motion.
I�t was moved by Councilman Meland, seconded by Councilman Hanks, to direct

consulting firms. �

. � ban in light of this update.
f
The City Manager said a ban would be dependent on whether or not there
. were good weekly rainfalls. ��
Councilman Strohl asked for an update on the well situation.
The Director of Public Works said the grouting was no�v complete. He said
this had taken longer than anticipated because of a variance which had to
be granted by the Health Department. He said a projection for completion
of the work was September 1982.
Councilman Martin asked if the proposed allocation of $200,000 was just
to find wells around the City. •
The Director of Public 4Jorks said the approximate breakdown was one-fourth
of that amount to complete a survey of St. Louis Park to find all abandoned
well sites and $150,000 to clean out wells on site. •

Councilman Nanks inquired if bids could be obtained with two alternatives:

on the convenience to the residents to separate the various materials, the
containers would probably do a better job.
He said a mid-July response from the County regarding their financial
participation was expected.
