Councilman Mitchell asked what was unique about this development, to which the Director replied that it was a type 1 project (hi rise) and that there were proposed substantial facilities such as congregate dining. There being no one wishing to speak, the Mayor declared the hearing closed. 6b. Walker Place Housing Assoc. Walker Place Housing Associates Resolution No. 85-203 Limited Partnership (Dominium) There being no one wishing to speak, the Mayor declared the hearing closed with the right of Council to thereafter reopen and continue it at a future date. Councilman Strand asked what was different in all the bond program resolutions, to which the Director of Planning said once again it was to meet requirements of TEFRA. Councilman Strand asked if the City reserved all rights relative to density, zoning, etc. The Planning Director said approval of a bond program for a project does not affect the City's approvals or special permit processes. Councilman Mitchell asked how much money had come from Community Development Block Grant funds, to which the City Manager responded approximately $70,000 for demolition on the building on the site. It was moved by Councilman Meland, seconded by Councilman Duffy to waive reading and adopt Resolution 85-203 entitled "A resolution giving preliminary approval to a multi -family rental housing project under Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 462C." The motion passed 7-0. 6c.

Oakmont Properties Multiple family rental bonds There being no one wishing to speak, the Mayor declared the hearing + closed with the right of Council to thereafter reopen and continue it at a future date. It was moved by Councilman Backes, seconded by Councilman Quffy to approve the project. Councilman Strand asked what were provisions for future remedial action should the property be sold. The City Manager responded the notice of proceedings would be followed should the property be sold and that the EPA and PCA would be watching carefully the stipulations in any agreements. Mayor Hanks said nothing would be done on this property during litigation. Councilman Duffy felt the City and HRA would proceed as cautiously with the development of this property as was done in Block 1. The motion failed 3-2-2 (Mayor Hanks, Councilman Meland opposed; Councilmen Friedman and Strand abstained). 6e. Storer Cable Request for cable system transfer Ron Abrams, attorney for Storer, said they were present to answer quest- ions and that the Council was being asked to approve a leveraged buy- out of the system. He said the current management would remair and that the company will become privately held. Todd Sperry, vice president of Storer's northeast region, said iL was r;o secret Lhc) piannad to sell the Minnesota system. He said they had 2-3 prospective buyers, that there was no floor on the sale price. He said that ciustaiing Uf cable franchises was now the name of the game and that Fridley, Bloomington and St. Louis Park were their only franchises in Minnesota. -204- r City CCouncil minutes December 2, 1985 Mr. Sperry said they hoped to make the transfer as transparent as possible, that Storer will remain the same entity, with the same management and services but with a different ownership structure. He said rate increases were not going to happen, citing that the company is not a public utility and is fully aware of the competition it faces from movies, theater, sporting events, etc. He spoke against the company being required to put up a performance bond as it would figure out to $2.00/subscriber in total. Bootsie Anderson, public access coordinator for the northern suburbs and a member of Park Cable Works spoke in opposition to the proposed transfer. Don Richards, financial consultant, gave a presentation on the financial complexities of the proposed transfer. Of concern to Mr. Richards was the potential for rate increases and insufficient revenue to support capital expenditures. John Gibbs, attorney for the City, said the City had three options: to approve the transfer, disapprove it, or to approve it contingent on Storer's acceptance of a Capital Commitment Agreement or Storer's willingness to provide a performance bond. There being no one further wishing to speak, the Mayor declared the hearing closed with the right of Council to thereafter reopen and continue it at a future date. Councilman Strand asked if Storer had accepted the amendments and how they planned to meet the debt requirements. Mr. Abrams responded they would accept the amendments should Council pass the ordinance. Mr. Sperry said that if the debt strains to the point it would affect operations and services, the City could consider revocation. He said one existing Storer television station must be sold which would generate some of the necessary revenue. Councilman Strand said a major concern is Storer's ability to perform and since it had no competition, he wondered how they would demonstrate their ability to perform. In answer to Councilman Friedman's question of whether or not rates will be increased and how such an increase would benefit St. Louis Park customers, Mr. Sperry responded a rate increase would occur in January 1986, although it would not be substantial. He said the increase would result in generally improved service to its customers. It was moved by Councilman Mitchell, seconded by Councilman Duffy to adopt Resolution 85-207 entitled "Resolution of the approval of cable franchisee change of ownership (Capital Commitment Agreement)," and to waive first reading of the franchise ordinance amendments, set second reading for December 16, 1985 and authorize summary publication. -205- City Council meeting minutes December 2, 1985 Councilman Mitchell asked if not living up to the terms of the franchise agreement were grounds for dissolution and Mr. Gibbs said that was correct. Councilman Strand asked that a subparagraph G be added to the resolution, to wit, "Other provisions deemed necessary or appropriate by legal counsel to the City including security adequate to assure performance of franchise contemplated by the agreement." Councilmen Mitchell and Duffy said this was agreeable to them to be added to the motion. The motion to approve the resolution as amended passed 7-0. PETITIONS, COMMUNICATIONS, REQUESTS 7a. Sunset Ridge Letter from Kenneth Worsdale The City Manager referred to the letter from Mr. Worsdale, and reported that the building he referred to is in compliance with the approved special permit. It was moved by Councilman Backes, seconded by Councilman Mitchell to direct staff to respond to Mr. Worsdale's letter based on the comments of the City Manager. The motion passed 7-0. 1b. Request from Darrel Farr Proposed purchase of City -owned land directly west of Sunset Business Park. Mayor Hanks wondered if staff should not research this request to determine if the City needs this land for anything. It was moved by Councilman Duffy, seconded by Councilman Meland to refer this request to the Planning Commission and the Parks and Recreation Commission. Councilman Friedman asked' if - - the City owned the land and thought it would be appropriate for staff to check into the fee title. He felt that if after staff's research it was determined the land should not be sold, the item should return to Council before going to the Planning Commission. Councilman Duffy said he'd like to see input from both staff and the Planning Commission. The motion passed 7-0. -206- City Council minutes December 2, 1985 RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES 8a. Reduction in HRC Ordinance-go.–T668-85 Reduction in size of Human Rights Commission It was moved by Councilman Duffy, seconded by Councilman Backes to waive reading and adopt Ordinance No. 1668-85 entitled "An ordinance amending the St. Louis Park Municipal Code related to the Human Rights Commission, Section 1-341." The motion passed 7-0. 8b. Water/Sewer/Refuse rates Second reading of an ordinance Ordinance No.1669--SS—re water/sewer/refuse rate adjustments It was moved by Councilman Backes, seconded by Councilman Duffy, to waive second reading and adopt Ordinance No. 1669-85 entitled "An ordinance amending the St. Louis Park Ordinance Code: Section 9-101 Water Rates; Section 9-231 Sewer Rental Rates; Section 9-307 Garbage/Refuse Service Rates." Councilman Friedman said the report before Council did not exactly answer his questions as to why the fund balances are what they are and why the reserves, especially sewer, continue to expand. Mayor Hanks said these balances reflect budget considerations, that amounts needed for repair, replacement and so forth in the future are unknown quantities. Councilman Friedman said these were rates, not levies and could they not be separate from budget considerations. Mayor Hanks said this was a Council policy and decision to keep reserves for the future. Councilman Friedman asked if the recycling program was not supposed to reduce the refuse rates, to which the City Manager responded that the projected rate of $6.05 was reduced to $5.90 due to the recycling program. The motion passed 5-1-1 (Councilman Friedman opposed; Councilman Strand abstained). 8b. Wallace Yahn Resolution No. 85-208 Resolution of denial It was moved by Councilman Meland, seconded by Councilman Duffy, to waive reading and adopt Resolution 85-208 entitled "A resolution of findings regarding the application of John and Cheryl Johnston (Wallace M.

Rezoning: Bass Lake Second reading of an ordinance re zoning at Bass Lake. The City Manager explained briefly what it was Klodt Developers had in mind, i.e., moving the proposed residential development to the west and adjacent to the proposed storm water retention Pond. This would allow the option of developing additional residential or office uses at the eastern portion of the parcel. The requested zoning change was from I-1 to R -B and that Council might wish to refer this request to the Planning Commission because of the proposed zut►ing change since first reading of the ordinance on November 18. Councilman Mitchell asked if going to the Planning Commission could be skipped. -208- City Council minutes December 2, 1985 The City Attorney responded that the 1985 Legislature did amend the law to require all amendments to the zoning ordinance be reviewed by the Planning Commission. It would be the Attorney's recommendation that the issue be reviewed by the Planning Commission because of the proposed zoning change. The City Manager was concerned about setting a date for the hearing because of publication requirements. The City Attorney offered that the Minneapolis Star & Tribune would meet the legal requirements. The Planning Director said newspaper publication was not required for this proposed zoning change. Councilman Mitchell said apparently all remained the same, but the project was shifted some 300 feet to the west and this was really a judgment call by the Council. It was moved by Councilman Meland, seconded by Councilman Backes to refer the proposed zoning change to the Planning Commission. The motion passed 7-0. Councilman Mitchell asked if Council were dealing with a change in the Comprehensive Plan. The City Manager said that with all the problems with this project, it might not be a bad idea to send both issues to the Planning Commission. It was moved by Councilman Strand, seconded by Councilman Mitchell to refer this proposed change to the Comprehensive Plan to the Planning Commission Len Thiel, representing the developer, commented that he was under the impression the Planning Commission was an advisory body to the City Council and that the Council could take action with or without a recommendation from the Planning Commission. He didn't understand the difficulty of Council moving on this proposal. Councilman Backes felt the question was- Is this proposal an amendment to an amendment? --Or is it a material change? He felt Council had the authority to proceed in making a decision. Councilman Mitchell felt Council should act consistently and not be put in a position of callingthe proposal marginal. The motion of Councilman Strand, seconded by Councilman Mitchell failed 3-4 (Councilmen Backes, Duffy, Meland, Mayor Hanks opposed). Councilman Mitchell felt the proposed change was different from wha had toren approved and should be rEvi ewed by the P l aio, i rig Cumm i s - sion. He felt all procedures should be followed and wondered why there was always such a hurry with this project. He said he would in- -209- City Council minutes December 2, 1985 terpret the statute to mean this change must go to the Planning Commission for review. Councilman Backes asked if there were any action Council could take to move this matter forward, to which the City Attorney responded that the statute was silent in that regard. Paul Klodt, developer, addressed Council to say he didn't realize his request was going to create such problems and that he was willing to go back to the previous plan. Councilman Friedman asked if the City Attorney would, in writing, back up Council's action, in essence standing behind the Council's decision. It was moved by Councilman Duffy to include this minor amendment to the Comprehensive Plan as part of the resolution approved by Council on November 18, 1985. The motion died for lack of a second. Jim Winspear, representing Minikanda Oaks neighborhood, stated the proposed change in the plan was all right with him, but that he was concerned with what was planned for the eastern end of the property. Mayor Hanks stated any plans for that area would be controlled by the special permit process. Councilman Duffy said the previously -adopted resolution encompassed the entire area of development, and thus no further action on the Comprehensive Plan was required. It was moved by Councilman Strand, seconded by Councilman Duffy to authorize the preparation of an opinion by the City Attorney corroborating Council's action. The motion passed 6-0-1 (Councilman Mitchell abstained). Mr. Thiel said they were under rather tight time constraints in that their funding must be completed prior to the end of the year. It was moved by Councilman Friedman, seconded by Councilman Meland to direct the City Manager and staff to take whatever action they deemed necessary to expeditiously get a letter of approval for the proposed change to bond counsel. The motion passed 6-0-1 (Councilman Mitchell abstained). It was moved by Councilman Meland, seconded by Councilman Duffy to set a public hearing for January 6, 1988- an the proposed zoning change from I-1 to R -B. The motion passed 6-0-1 (Councilman Mitchell abstained). City Council minutes December 2, 1985 8g.
